Transcript

00:00:00.000 And that is proof of the evolution, or I would say appropriately, the devolution of this party
00:00:05.760 into this wasteland of Trumpism. Now, the question is, what does Trump say on Thursday night?
00:00:12.660 And that's going to be the ultimate moment where we know for, in fact, that we've turned
00:00:19.000 the page, we've crossed the Rubicon, and there's a different man here. Spoiler alert,
00:00:25.040 there will not be a different Trump because he has not internalized what happened the way you
00:00:30.960 and I would have internalized it. There is nothing about that moment that will have changed this man
00:00:36.340 and his outlook on how he sees things and how he intends to prosecute the case against Democrats
00:00:42.920 who are still today in Congress trying to stir up petitions to forestall the inevitable and to
00:00:51.060 create more negative narratives about the current administration that fuels the beast that is
00:00:58.340 outside the gates with the incoming, potential incoming administration.
00:01:04.560 And like, so when we think about mass deportation, right, how do you view assessing whether these are
00:01:12.080 rhetorical sops to certain parts of the base or actual serious proposing?
00:01:16.440 I think it's much more serious these times because I think that the people that are going to go work
00:01:19.840 for him are going to be much more in line with what his agenda is. And to me, like kind of the words
00:01:25.080 that are coming out of all these like middle manager speakers that happened earlier in the day are less
00:01:29.460 important than when you saw the former president walk in last night and sit in that box. Who was
00:01:35.620 sitting in there? Was Tucker Carlson? Was J.D. Vance? Was Byron Donalds? Very extreme Florida
00:01:42.120 congressman. It was his kids. It was the populist nationalists of the party. And when we had the
00:01:48.900 reporting today, we were going to talk about Elon and the tech bros later. And they said when Trump
00:01:52.860 was vacillating on Vance, who called him? Tucker, Elon, his kids, Teal. What do all those guys want to do?
00:02:01.360 Mass deportations. Like that is their agenda. This isn't the old Republican Party anymore. So,
00:02:05.740 you know, some of the more old school Republicans can go up on the stage in the seven o'clock hour and talk
00:02:09.800 about energy or whatever. But to me, the Project 2025 mass firings, the mass deportations, the
00:02:16.300 Department of Justice overhaul, like that's what they're going to care about. But talk to me a
00:02:20.340 little bit about the J.D. Vance of this all. We're just a lot of people are just learning more about
00:02:24.800 him. What should people know about him? What concerns you about him? And what is kind of
00:02:30.680 exciting the party about him, too, right now? Well, Jen, I think that this is officially the end of the
00:02:38.900 Reagan Republican Party. Two things stood out to me last night. Number one, the J.D. Vance pick,
00:02:44.440 another hardcore populist, maybe even more populist than Donald Trump. And then, of course,
00:02:51.160 there was that big union speech at the Republican National Convention, something totally extraordinary
00:02:57.580 that puts Trump and his movement at odds with the congressional wing of the Republican Party.
00:03:03.440 I think if Donald Trump wins this election, you're going to see clashes between him and a lot of
00:03:09.860 congressional Republicans who do come from that old Reagan school of Republican politics, pro-business,
00:03:17.180 not in line at all with the union messaging that was so prominent last night, a primetime slot.
00:03:24.980 It was really a radical shift from the Republican Party that I grew up in and that most Republicans who
00:03:32.200 are still elected in Congress today respond to and came of age in.
00:03:36.940 I think a lot of the discussions about Vance particularly and the sort of Elon Musk, Peter
00:03:42.320 Thiel, Tucker Carlson people around him is the sort of opportunistic ideological transformation.
00:03:47.060 But I would just say, as you watch him there, don't underestimate the degree to which all these
00:03:51.320 gentlemen have kind of self-radicalized online and pickled their brains in a brine of truly noxious
00:03:59.240 and monstrous ideology.
00:04:01.860 I'm Mark Andrews.
00:04:03.060 All right.
00:04:03.240 We do have breaking news.
00:04:04.540 Former Trump White House advisor Peter Navarro has been released from prison.
00:04:09.340 He'd been serving a sentence for contempt of Congress.
00:04:12.420 CNN senior crime adjusted reporter Caitlin Polantz is with us now with the details.
00:04:16.640 Caitlin, what are you learning?
00:04:17.980 John, Peter Navarro is out of prison after spending four months at a prison camp in Miami.
00:04:23.560 This is a former Trump White House advisor who had written in a book, spoken publicly about
00:04:31.780 his interest in helping Trump overturn the election results.
00:04:37.120 And then when Congress subpoenaed him to testify and to provide records, he blew him off.
00:04:42.260 He didn't do it.
00:04:42.960 And so he was prosecuted.
00:04:44.660 He was convicted by a jury.
00:04:45.820 And he was sent to prison for contempt of Congress.
00:04:49.380 He always said that he believed Trump didn't want him to share the information with Congress.
00:04:54.840 And since then, he has positioned himself, since his conviction, he was positioning himself
00:05:00.040 as essentially a martyr for Trump, a person who was caught in this overreach of Congress.
00:05:06.960 He is now traveling to Milwaukee, or at least we expect him to show up in Milwaukee after leaving
00:05:13.720 that prison in Miami today so that he can speak at the Republican convention and further discuss
00:05:21.000 this issue that he has been caught up in, he says, this issue of separation of powers and
00:05:28.580 Congress and people going after Donald Trump and others.
00:05:32.400 But I have spoken to his prison consultant several times about what it was like for Peter
00:05:38.200 Navarro in prison.
00:05:39.540 He did do his time, all four months of it.
00:05:41.780 He worked as a law library clerk, and from what I have heard, other inmates would high-five
00:05:47.760 him.
00:05:48.120 He was quite liked inside.
00:05:50.140 John?
00:05:50.880 It'll be interesting to see if he speaks at the convention.
00:05:56.800 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:06:01.780 Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.
00:06:07.080 Here's the reason I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people, the people
00:06:11.720 have had a belly full of it.
00:06:13.300 I know you don't like hearing that.
00:06:14.680 I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to
00:06:16.920 stop it.
00:06:17.380 It's going to happen.
00:06:18.640 And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
00:06:22.040 Mega media.
00:06:22.960 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:06:28.820 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:06:31.960 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:06:38.920 War Room.
00:06:39.800 Here's your host, Stephen K.
00:06:41.860 Bannon.
00:06:42.200 Hey, everybody.
00:06:49.500 Welcome from day three of the Republican National Convention.
00:06:52.540 I am here with the amazing and one and only Monica Crowley, probably one of the brightest
00:06:57.080 minds in media.
00:06:59.360 And so it's a really special day for me to be here hosting with her.
00:07:02.360 Thanks for joining.
00:07:03.500 And we'll kick it off shortly.
00:07:05.440 We've got a lot of great guests coming up.
00:07:07.340 We're going to talk about, obviously, Peter Navarro getting out of prison today.
00:07:10.240 I think he's coming directly to the RNC.
00:07:12.840 And we're also going to talk about my movie, Government Gangsters, which is debuting tomorrow
00:07:16.560 here at the Miller High Life Arena at 2 p.m.
00:07:19.740 Doors open, free for all.
00:07:21.000 So anyone in Milwaukee, come on by and check it out.
00:07:23.640 But I thought we'd start with a recap of what happened last night.
00:07:28.060 And there's literally no better person to talk to about it than Monica.
00:07:31.120 What was your take about all the speeches, the crowd, the president?
00:07:35.380 How'd you see it all?
00:07:36.100 Well, first of all, it's so good to be here with you too, Cash.
00:07:38.880 Speaking of brilliant, right back at you.
00:07:41.760 And it is such an honor and a joy to be here sitting in Steve Bannon's seat.
00:07:46.880 Our good friend Steve should be here throughout this convention and certainly in light of what's
00:07:52.340 happened over the weekend of President Trump.
00:07:54.300 By the grace of God, he is still with us fighting on toward November and beyond to save America.
00:08:00.280 So it really is an honor and a pleasure to be in his chair.
00:08:03.280 And he will return.
00:08:05.160 As you mentioned, Peter Navarro, who has just spent four months in federal prison, will be joining us tomorrow.
00:08:12.340 He's flying straight here to Milwaukee, to the RNC, directly from being bounced out of federal prison today.
00:08:19.620 So it's going to be quite a scene.
00:08:21.780 It is remarkable.
00:08:23.400 I've been to many Republican conventions, Cash.
00:08:26.780 And I have to tell you, this one is of a completely different nature.
00:08:30.800 Really?
00:08:31.320 By magnitude.
00:08:33.140 This convention is, first of all, the energy is off the charts.
00:08:37.400 And I remember in 2016, as literally President Trump's very first supporter, as far as I know, outside of his own family.
00:08:46.460 I was literally with him day one when he came down that escalator and went on Fox and other networks talking about how he wasn't just going to be the nominee.
00:08:56.060 He was going to be the president.
00:08:57.700 And I was pretty much the only one out there saying this.
00:09:00.360 So for me personally, this journey over the last nine years, watching this man come out of nowhere, having never done any of this before, this journey of just astonishing the world in 2016.
00:09:16.360 And then having an incredibly successful powerhouse first term, delivering for the forgotten men and women, delivering for the American people.
00:09:26.880 Robust economy, enforced border, law and order, and world peace.
00:09:31.320 And as I always say, I don't know what the American people expect or want from an American president beyond that.
00:09:37.200 Okay?
00:09:37.640 Beyond that.
00:09:38.140 So to watch this journey to now, we are really witnessing the greatest political comeback in American political history.
00:09:48.280 And, Cash, you'll recall that my very first boss out of college, and I'm sure many of you guys know this as well, was former President Richard Nixon.
00:09:55.920 Right.
00:09:57.120 I was not born when he was elected.
00:09:59.120 I worked with him during the last years of his life.
00:10:01.440 And up until Donald Trump, Richard Nixon had the greatest American political comeback from 1960, where that election was stolen from Richard Nixon.
00:10:12.540 And we talked about that.
00:10:13.460 And if you want to talk about stolen elections, we can do that.
00:10:16.320 But then he came back in 1968 and then won again in 1972 in an historic landslide.
00:10:22.180 He held the claim to the greatest comeback until now.
00:10:25.520 And so what you are seeing unfold is true history here at this convention and going forward to the election.
00:10:33.280 And I think what we saw last night was remarkable, Cash, because you saw a parade of his former political rivals, like Mickey Haley and Governor Ron DeSantis, making extraordinary speeches, backing President Trump, talking about how necessary his leadership is going to be for the future.
00:10:50.860 Yeah, I think, you know, so look, you have way more experience in the conventions than I do.
00:10:55.820 This is my first one.
00:10:56.980 I've actually never done one of these.
00:10:58.360 Yeah, no, it's great.
00:10:59.240 So if the bar is that high for this one, I guess I can't come back to any more.
00:11:02.620 Yeah, you're going to be let down in the future, I think.
00:11:04.880 But you're right.
00:11:05.600 You know, being a sports guy my entire life, going to sporting events and being in arenas like this one here in Milwaukee, you get some pretty electric atmospheres.
00:11:13.800 But I have never seen anything like we've been seeing the last couple of nights when President Trump walks in.
00:11:18.640 I mean, that was unbelievable.
00:11:19.860 It was like every sporting championships game seven combined in one place plus some.
00:11:25.660 And then the substance of what was said last night, whether, you know, what I found most moving, I agree with you totally, that to see the president's former adversaries come in and unify behind him.
00:11:35.200 I don't think there's any other person that could have gotten that kind of unity from across the political spectrum.
00:11:39.600 And to come in and genuinely address America and say we are behind Donald Trump, it was pretty powerful.
00:11:45.000 But what was moving to me and even brought me to tears was the mothers and the fathers that spoke last night.
00:11:51.260 The mother who spoke about losing her daughter to opioid, to fentanyl.
00:11:57.180 And, you know, and she was right.
00:11:59.700 It wasn't an overdose.
00:12:01.580 It was a killing.
00:12:02.640 Poisoning, she called it.
00:12:04.140 Poisoning, right.
00:12:04.220 It was a poisoning.
00:12:05.160 By the CCP.
00:12:06.700 And that's why she turned to President Trump to say, you've stopped it before and you must stop it again.
00:12:10.840 And then another moving speech from last night was the mother from New York who talked about Alvin Bragg's office, our home in New York, whose child was murdered and they let two of the perpetrators go and they basically gave time served to the other two perpetrators.
00:12:28.680 I mean, we're talking about a murder of a child who was a he was an adult when he was murdered, but he was an Afghan war veteran, was killed on the streets of New York.
00:12:38.540 And the people that they held accountable, Alvin Bragg, sentenced them to less prison time than basically you get for stealing at the grand larceny level.
00:12:49.800 I found that I've always said their weapon of choice is the two tier system of justice.
00:12:55.100 And I found that so powerful and so resonating.
00:12:58.460 And I think many Americans did the same.
00:13:00.880 How did you see it?
00:13:01.640 Yeah, you know, whenever you see conventions and you see regular Americans take to the podium, it's always incredibly moving because these stories are authentic.
00:13:12.660 They're not done for political purposes.
00:13:15.200 They're not done to win elections.
00:13:17.360 These people came forward and said, I want to speak and share my story so all of America knows the grave danger that we are in from my personal pain, from my personal experience.
00:13:30.240 So both mothers who lost their sons, pardon me, are that kind of emotional kind of story grabs the American people.
00:13:41.100 They're not political speeches because they're not political people.
00:13:44.340 They're sharing with the country their own personal experiences as a direct result of the collapse of law and order, the collapse of support for law enforcement under this catastrophic presidency.
00:13:57.060 And the wide open border, of course, which is allowing fentanyl to come in in droves.
00:14:02.040 It originates in China, as you will now, the precursor drugs.
00:14:05.660 Then it goes to the cartels on the border.
00:14:08.220 Cartels bring it in.
00:14:09.360 It's widely distributed in this country.
00:14:11.380 And it is killing well over 100,000 of our friends, family and neighbors.
00:14:16.920 And these two women showed enormous courage.
00:14:20.060 And I think the average American who might be sitting on the fence, although I don't know any because I mean, and certainly not after this weekend.
00:14:28.860 Nobody should be sitting on the fence because I think most Americans understand the perilous moment that we're in.
00:14:34.900 No, absolutely.
00:14:35.460 I think we're cutting to a commercial break here.
00:14:37.100 We're going to dive into what's coming ahead of the next two days of the RNC, President Trump's speech, J.D. Vance, of course, the vice president's nominee.
00:14:44.960 We're going to talk about the media's explosion or implosion regarding J.D. Vance, how he's somehow now public enemy number one when he's really been one of the greatest conservatives in Congress.
00:14:55.060 We'll see you after the break.
00:14:59.660 The elites are getting desperate.
00:15:01.880 They now want to use the technology behind Bitcoin for their own Orwellian purposes.
00:15:06.180 Their gold to dominate our economy by forcing everyone to use central bank digital currencies, which they control.
00:15:14.360 Imagine your every purchase being called into question, your every move tracked like you live in a communist country.
00:15:21.300 This is not the America we want, but it is the America they want to create.
00:15:25.840 Fortunately, you can fight back.
00:15:28.120 I believe owning gold is the best solution.
00:15:30.480 Why?
00:15:30.840 Because it keeps you in control and safeguards your savings.

00:16:12.300 Some of the people that are endorsing Trump, and I've had conversations with these people, smart, educated people who know that he represents chaos and instability and all kinds of things that aren't good for this country, just to name a few.
00:16:25.180 They say to me, well, he said all that stuff last time.
00:16:28.560 It didn't happen.
00:16:29.480 So the rationalization going on by an intellectual class that is bending the knee to this guy, and there's a bunch of them bent their knee today that know better.
00:16:39.680 But they say, oh, all that stuff he says.
00:16:41.780 He doesn't really mean that.
00:16:43.160 I don't think they realize he's poised and ready to do the kinds of things that they would find scary and unacceptable.
00:16:50.780 Well, and part of the vetting process for J.D. Vance was, will you do my bidding in another January 6th style scenario?
00:16:56.880 And J.D. Vance, full-throated endorsement of swinging the election for President Trump if necessity dictates.
00:17:03.980 And will you do my bidding on isolationist foreign policy?
00:17:06.100 Yes.
00:17:06.660 And this is literally, apparently, Tucker Carlson called the former president and said, if you pick one of these neocons, one of these old-school Republicans, the deep state's going to come after you.
00:17:15.920 Yeah.
00:17:16.340 And so they believe their own BS, apparently, enough about that, like insane conspiracy theory, that that's why J.D. is on the ticket.
00:17:25.920 Well, back here at the War Room at Milwaukee, the RNC, Cash Patel and Monica Crowley.
00:17:30.360 Of course, we are going to be talking about President Trump's phenomenal choice for Vice President J.D. Vance.
00:17:36.960 And Monica is going to break it down for us in a second.
00:17:39.500 But I don't know if the rest of y'all were watching the mainstream media melt down after President Trump picked J.D. Vance.
00:17:46.620 What that tells me is he got it right.
00:17:48.840 He got it more than right because they are imploding and they are running scared and making up stories about J.D.'s past and what he might do to America.
00:17:57.460 When it's pretty crystal clear that J.D., for me, has been the biggest proponent of America first in the United States Senate.
00:18:05.740 And I think the swamp does not like the fact that he's been so aggressively anti-funding the Ukraine's war until we take care of America, which I love.
00:18:14.240 But I know those are some of the things that he's going to get attacked for.
00:18:17.120 But Monica, what do you think J.D. Vance brings?
00:18:20.500 What's he going to do?
00:18:21.400 Well, you know, it's so interesting that you use the word to there.
00:18:25.300 What he's they're all worried about what he's going to do to America.
00:18:28.580 We're all celebrating what he's going to be doing for America.
00:18:33.460 OK, so language matters.
00:18:35.360 And they're all in total meltdown, which tells you that President Trump made the exact right pick in J.D. Vance.
00:18:42.000 You also mentioned Ukraine and Vance's opposition to continuing to pump tens of billions of dollars into this conflict.
00:18:50.220 That's where the American people are.
00:18:52.420 That's where President Trump is.
00:18:54.620 And that's where J.D. Vance is.
00:18:56.880 And that's another reason why the left is melting down, because this is a giant money laundering operation for them, making billions of dollars out of this conflict.
00:19:06.880 And they're really concerned that J.D. Vance is going to shut off the spigot as is President Trump.
00:19:13.160 Look, a couple of things.
00:19:14.820 He is the absolute American dream.
00:19:17.820 J.D. Vance came out of abject poverty, like in the backhills of America, and out of sheer ambition, hard work, commitment, grit, courage, pulled himself out of that situation and environment to end up going to Yale to then becoming an incredibly successful venture capitalist.
00:19:41.300 Capitalist being a critical word here.
00:19:43.880 President Trump and J.D. Vance are capitalists.
00:19:46.180 And a hugely successful.
00:19:49.700 And then he goes on to write a bestselling book that becomes a Hollywood movie based on his life called Hillbilly Elegy.
00:19:56.980 And so he has lived the American dream.
00:20:00.080 What a tremendous success story.
00:20:02.620 And he's so young.
00:20:03.800 So, of course, they're in total meltdown.
00:20:06.140 Now, look, the left and the media would attack any choice by President Trump.
00:20:10.480 I don't care who it was.
00:20:11.940 They would have attacked the choice.
00:20:13.700 But it is particularly delicious to see them go after J.D. Vance, who has been so hugely successful, and what he is going to do for this country.
00:20:22.460 You know, I tweeted the other day when President Trump made the choice.
00:20:25.500 This is a fully America first ticket.
00:20:28.540 And so all of the America first agenda that President Trump put in place in the first term, a booming economy through a pro-growth economic agenda, an enforced border, law and order and world peace.
00:20:41.760 J.D. Vance is going to be right by his side executing all of that.
00:20:44.900 So I totally agree.
00:20:45.800 And I think that's why President Trump selected J.D., because he's going to carry the mantle and carry the mandate that President Trump has built the last 10 years on into the White House and into the next generation of political leadership.
00:20:59.900 And I think it's extremely important that he got it right and he nailed it.
00:21:04.080 And what most Americans don't know is that there's still 114 days to the election.
00:21:10.040 So we still got to work our tails off.
00:21:11.840 They still got to go out and campaign.
00:21:13.300 They still got to go out and fundraise.
00:21:14.920 They still got to win, win, win as President Trump said.
00:21:18.020 So what does a J.D. Vance do between now and then?
00:21:21.620 It's a great question.
00:21:22.440 I think this is another one of the key reasons why the president chose him.
00:21:26.460 He is totally plugged into Silicon Valley and the whole VC community because he was such a success there.
00:21:33.220 So he can access that money.
00:21:35.520 And Silicon Valley is really flipped.
00:21:38.000 You're seeing a lot of billionaires.
00:21:39.660 Elon Musk, right after the assassination attempt, announced not only his endorsement of President Trump, but $45 million per month between now and November.
00:21:49.860 That's $180 million.
00:21:52.300 I mean, finally, we have billionaires on our side willing to step up and put their money into saving America.
00:21:59.160 All of the left's billionaires like Soros, et cetera, they've been doing this a long time.
00:22:03.580 Our billionaires always wanted to see an ROI monetarily, not in terms of actually saving the country.
00:22:09.980 Musk is like, my ROI will see Donald Trump elected and turning this country around and restored.
00:22:16.480 So I think Vance, in terms of donors, excellent.
00:22:19.920 But I also think because he's from the Midwest, Cash, he's out of Ohio, I think what the campaign is going to do is park J.D. Vance in the Midwest from now until November.
00:22:31.400 Okay, I had not heard that.
00:22:32.560 Yes.
00:22:33.020 So this is what I think they're going to do.
00:22:34.860 So they're going to take this child of the Midwest and move him into Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin.
00:22:41.980 Maybe Monica Crowley should be calling the shots.
00:22:44.180 I'm available and I'm giving it to y'all for free today and on my own podcast.
00:22:50.440 But I think that's what they're going to do because the geography of the map, you know, essentially they're going to be running regional contests rather than a national presidential campaign.
00:23:01.340 This is going to be broken down into regional campaigns all the way down to counties because we have about 30 swing state counties that are going to actually decide this election.
00:23:13.100 So Musk is taking all of his money, pouring it into those counties in those swing states for early voting and ballot harvesting and things like that to match the Democrats.
00:23:24.280 And then Vance, I think, is going to go directly into particularly those Midwest areas.
00:23:28.800 It sounds like an extremely methodical decision by President Trump.
00:23:33.980 It wasn't the McCain knee jerk reaction or the Romney selection of vice president.
00:23:38.740 I mean, President Trump used I thought some of my former boss and current boss's brilliance was that he utilized the American public to do part of the vetting form.
00:23:47.240 It wasn't a private selection in terms of who was on the list.
00:23:50.620 Everyone knew the list.
00:23:51.880 Everyone knew how big it was.
00:23:53.020 Everyone knew when it got shortened.
00:23:54.700 Everyone knew the last week or two weeks there was about four or five people on it.
00:23:57.840 So the media was in a frenzy over every single one of those people.
00:24:01.300 But also Americans that support Donald Trump came in and said their feelings and thoughts after doing their own homework on it.
00:24:09.140 So I thought that was a really powerful and I've never seen that done before.
00:24:13.620 Usually it's kept in the bubble, in their binders.
00:24:16.880 We know better than you, America, who we want your votes, but we're going to select our leaders privately.
00:24:22.240 I thought the genius of flipping the script and saying, no, I want America to help me select the vice president.
00:24:28.240 I truly believe Donald Trump did that.
00:24:30.260 You know, we're talking about the calculations that went into the Vance choice and all of them are extremely important.
00:24:35.840 Obviously, you want a wise choice.
00:24:38.120 But in the past, presidential candidates have generally been driven by needing a geographical balance to the ticket.
00:24:46.440 Right.
00:24:46.960 So it was JFK out of Massachusetts with Lyndon Johnson out of Texas.
00:24:51.160 And can they deliver that state?
00:24:53.380 Can they deliver that region?
00:24:55.000 I think that matters less now in a world of social media and mass communications.
00:24:59.860 I think that matters less.
00:25:01.460 OK, that's interesting.
00:25:01.980 But when you're talking about running a regional presidential campaign, like in 30 little areas, a guy like J.D. Vance, when those mostly, I mean, we also have races in to look at counties to look at in Nevada and Arizona, outside of the Midwest that are going to be critical.
00:25:20.640 But that whole industrial Rust Belt, I mean, he is a child of that.
00:25:25.220 That's the election.
00:25:25.980 And so that is the election, especially Pennsylvania, but also the state we're sitting in, Wisconsin, Michigan.
00:25:32.700 J.D. Vance is going to be critical in terms of talking to the forgotten men and women in that whole area and freeing President Trump up to go into other areas like Georgia, like Arizona, like Nevada, other critical areas.
00:25:47.520 Well, look, from my home state of Nevada and for a guy who's new to this entire sort of political landscape campaign atmosphere, I just think Monica Crowley outlined exactly what should be done.
00:25:59.120 So if you're gambling on this back in Vegas where Donald Trump is not going to tax your tips, then you should lay down the marker on what Monica Crowley just told you.
00:26:06.540 You should definitely follow her podcast and watch her show and everything she's writing on Twitter because this has been the biggest learning lesson for me on how campaigns are run.
00:26:14.860 I mean, when you come to these events, I think this is the cool thing about it, right?
00:26:17.860 We obviously talk all the time, but we don't get to spend this kind of time together in this kind of atmosphere.
00:26:22.680 And you really see people come through that are genuine, right?
00:26:27.660 And you see the fake people kind of shifted over to the side.
00:26:32.920 You see them in the corner.
00:26:34.140 They're kind of forced to be there.
00:26:36.200 And it's just been a wild, wild scene for me.
00:26:38.760 Even just going to the donor rooms and the suites and the skyboxes last night, I saw people that I never thought I'd see here talking about J.D.
00:26:47.280 and talking about how is President Trump going to put him into play.
00:26:51.800 And so I think what you've just done is a brilliant roadmap.
00:26:54.820 So we have to make sure we follow what you're doing every single day.
00:26:59.840 Well, thank you, Cash.
00:27:00.620 I appreciate that.
00:27:01.920 And I do talk a lot about this on the Monica Crowley podcast.
00:27:04.700 So please go check that out.
00:27:06.360 I'm on Rumble now, by the way.
00:27:08.700 Oh, why are I free speech domination?
00:27:10.680 Yes, I know.
00:27:11.360 It's pretty much apart from X under Musk.
00:27:13.680 Rumble is the only ad scale free speech platform.
00:27:18.000 It's Rumble and X.
00:27:19.160 So I'm up on Rumble as well.

00:29:15.840 Government gangsters are the group of individuals, career bureaucrats, who have been installed by what we call the deep state into every agency and department in the United States government.
00:29:28.400 Had Donald Trump not won in 2016, he would not have exposed the flank of the deep state and their weapon of choice, the two-tier system of justice.
00:29:36.060 From Russiagate to Hunter Biden's laptop to Joe Biden's classified documents case to January 6th to the 51 Intel letter and everything in between.
00:29:43.180 We would never have learned that.
00:29:45.040 These people are dangerous and vindictive, learning from their mistakes and perfecting ways to hide their corruption.
00:29:51.060 It is finally time for a straightforward assessment of the state of our nation.
00:29:58.400 The.
00:30:18.040 Boom.
00:30:19.460 There it is, everybody.
00:30:20.480 The trailer for Government Gangsters, the film in collaboration with War Room, myself and my bestseller.
00:30:26.460 We're playing it tomorrow at Miller High Life at 2 p.m. right here in Milwaukee.
00:30:30.160 It's free. Doors open at 2 p.m.
00:30:31.860 Go to warroom.film and get your preorder copy right now.
00:30:35.580 And we could not have a better person to dissect this movie than the director, Matthew Taylor.
00:30:41.380 And I thought it would be fun to have a brilliant mind ask penetrating questions of Matthew about the movie
00:30:48.120 and why on earth you would agree to make such a movie.
00:30:51.460 Monica Crowley, please give him all the zingers you can.
00:30:53.960 Thank you, Cash. And congratulations to both of you on Government Gangsters.
00:30:58.120 Well done. Your book was extraordinary, exposing all of this.
00:31:01.880 And I look forward to the film very much.
00:31:04.140 So the American people are now getting wise to what we collectively call the deep state,
00:31:09.920 which includes the administrative state.
00:31:11.840 It includes law enforcement, DOJ, FBI, but also the security state, CIA, NSA.
00:31:18.120 DIA, all of these intelligence agencies.
00:31:20.740 They are all collectively government gangsters because they have been weaponized.
00:31:25.540 And a lot of people trace it back to the Kennedy assassination where the American people
00:31:29.780 actually lost control of their own government and the government gangsters took it over.
00:31:34.840 So talk to us a little bit about your approach to this film and the subject.
00:31:39.260 Well, you know, I've been working in this space for 20 years, investigative filmmaking.
00:31:43.320 And, you know, we made Clinton Cash back in the day.
00:31:46.980 We did a Hunter Biden film.
00:31:48.340 But this is really the penultimate of bringing all of these stories together.
00:31:52.380 And, of course, we couldn't have done it without Government Gangsters, the book,
00:31:56.080 as an infrastructure to kind of like weed it out.
00:31:59.160 And, of course, Cash did amazing work at his investigations in Russiagate and creating the Nunes memo.
00:32:04.440 But what we wanted to do was create a thread that showed very specific examples of how the deep state attacked Donald Trump over and over and over again.
00:32:14.740 And when they failed at this thing, they moved to the next thing.
00:32:17.140 When they failed at this thing, they moved to the next thing.
00:32:19.120 And the crazy thing is that half the time you don't know who these people are.
00:32:23.340 And if you think about it, most of the people that we are talking about are out of office.
00:32:26.760 They have cushy jobs in the private sector.
00:32:30.480 And now there's new people that we don't know.
00:32:32.520 And so it's important for the American people to know that these people are out there, that these people have vast resources, and they have no accountability.
00:32:40.160 So, you know, when you say that the people come and go, what the critical point about all of this is the institutions remain.
00:32:48.120 So the people come in and out of the FBI and the DOJ and the CIA, but the rot in the institution remains, right?
00:32:57.520 So, again, people come and go, but the agenda, the dark, sinister agenda, which is not for America or the American people, remains.
00:33:04.760 Can you talk about institutionally your approach to this, taking on these massive institutions that have become so out of control and powerful?
00:33:14.060 Well, you know, I mean, you're always a little frightened.
00:33:16.420 I mean, if you think about it, James Comey is fired, and in comes Chris Wray.
00:33:20.880 Right.
00:33:21.140 And you say, and he's current.
00:33:22.380 Interchangeable.
00:33:23.120 Interchangeable.
00:33:23.560 They're interchangeable.
00:33:24.580 They are.
00:33:25.400 And actually, yeah, a really interesting thing about the film is one of the things we did is when we did our interview, I would say, hey, Cash, give me the Wikipedia bio on all these people.
00:33:36.580 Not these people are bad, but just tell me what they are.
00:33:39.440 And it's so-and-so came into government and did X, and then he did Y, and then he did this, and then he did that, and then he did this, and then there he is.
00:33:46.420 And what happens is this happens, I think, maybe eight times in the film.
00:33:49.820 You start realizing, oh, like these guys have just been bouncing around this system, and this guy is one, he's a judge here, and he's, you know, like Mayor Garland.
00:33:57.440 He's this, and then he's that, and he's this administration, that administration.
00:34:00.080 And you realize there's like eight people that have been bouncing around the system, accumulating power, accumulating influence, and then when it comes time to get to their pinnacle point, they have all of the cards, and they can play them any way they want.
00:34:15.140 So, you know, I've always honed in on, and Cash, you can chime in on this too, on Peter Strzok as the perfect example, because you've got the high-profile guys like John Brennan, James Clapper, James Comey.
00:34:28.340 But isn't it really the shadowy figures that are not household names that are actually executing what Comey and Joe Biden want out of these institutions?
00:34:41.760 You're absolutely right, and this goes to a point that Matthew and I were talking to off-camera.
00:34:46.600 You know, he made the final selections, I think he made the right ones, about the eight top tier we wanted to highlight, because there's only so much you can pack into one movie, right?
00:34:55.060 But your point is spot on.
00:34:58.640 The government gangsters at the top can't operate without the armada that they have and the legions they have in the lower levels.
00:35:06.500 And in my book, I literally have a glossary of government gangsters by alphabetical order, because there's that many.
00:35:13.260 And, you know, folks like Peter Strzok and Andy McCabe, who should be right at the top of the list, even those guys were superseded in corruption by others.
00:35:22.640 And the question I have for Matthew is, you know, because we would actually get into fun arguments about that.
00:35:26.920 I don't want that person. I want that person.
00:35:29.240 How did you make the all-star cut?
00:35:31.080 How did you determine who's in and who's out for now, and we'll leave the rest of the future?
00:35:36.500 Well, again, I wanted to establish clear narrative, because the other thing is, and I learned this in the Clinton years, is operations are designed to be hard to understand.
00:35:47.180 This person goes here and does that and hires that person through this person, et cetera, et cetera.
00:35:51.460 And you go, well, I can't understand this.
00:35:53.500 So I would sit down and weed through the story, right, and say, like, the impeachment is actually very confusing to understand because of Eric Sharmella.
00:36:01.080 And you have to understand, like, he wanted whistleblower status and this and this works and that works, and he goes to Vindman.
00:36:07.360 So ultimately what I did is I narrowed it down to people who either did certain things or represent certain things.
00:36:14.660 And Victoria Nuland is there to represent the nameless bureaucrat.
00:36:18.640 That's what she's there for.
00:36:20.040 And you're right.
00:36:20.940 These people, I think, are the most dangerous layer because they're a career and they never go away.
00:36:25.220 Right, and they operate in the shadows, and they move among the institutions.
00:36:30.500 So a guy like Peter Strzok is going DOJ to FBI to the security state and back again wherever he is tasked by the deep state power.
00:36:40.480 Yeah, exactly.
00:36:42.460 You know what was remarkable is over the last couple of days since the assassination attempt on President Trump, and by God's grace, he is still with us.
00:36:50.900 But CNN had up Clapper and Andrew McCabe as their voices.
00:36:58.140 And I kid you not, you guys probably didn't see, but they were talking about how the assassination attempt could have been a foreign influence operation, like a foreign attempt every month.
00:37:08.600 Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia.
00:37:09.260 They didn't mention Russia, but it was, well, it could have been a foreign entity doing this.
00:37:13.100 So once again, here we are.
00:37:14.760 But it's those names, we didn't know Andrew McCabe before Russiagate.
00:37:19.340 Nope.
00:37:19.540 I'm concerned about these people who are not household names, who are moving in the shadows, totally unaccountable, not elected in any way.
00:37:27.640 And are they getting their orders from the top?
00:37:31.080 In other words, C.R. Mella and Vindman, were they told when President Trump came in, keep your eye out for anything that might have a whiff of something that might be wrong, morally, legally, ethically, whatever the case might be.
00:37:48.300 And then they stumble on something, and they immediately take it to their hair's up.
00:37:51.240 This is why I love Monica.
00:37:52.080 She hasn't even seen the movie.
00:37:53.380 I know.
00:37:53.680 I haven't seen the movie.
00:37:54.220 She's like hitting at the core piece of it.
00:37:56.660 So this is awesome, but so this is a great segue into, so you talk about Sharmella and Vindman.
00:38:03.520 Can you give the audience a sneak peek into how you wove them into the story?
00:38:08.480 And Monica, who didn't even see it, is basically outlining to the audience because she knows it so well.
00:38:13.660 But please do watch it anyway.
00:38:15.180 But how did you, how did you?
00:38:16.520 I'm not giving anything away here.
00:38:18.060 No, no.
00:38:18.380 How did you fit the other tier two characters into it?
00:38:22.400 Well, after we, you know, in the film, it goes sequentially from Russiagate to the investigation, you know, through Nunes' memo.
00:38:28.980 And then it says, look, this failed.
00:38:31.700 So they had to pivot somewhere else.
00:38:33.520 And then we moved to Ukraine, and eventually Ukraine will move into Hunter Biden.
00:38:36.700 But really it was, it tells the story of saying, like, there's this guy in the White House, Eric Sharmella.
00:38:43.340 No one's ever heard of him.
00:38:44.620 If you look him up online, you're going to, very hard to find pictures of him why, because he's kind of a nobody.
00:38:49.800 But he's just one of these guys who was in these administrations.
00:38:53.040 And really the question is, why was he in the Trump White House?
00:38:55.760 Like, how did he get there?
00:38:56.880 And it's because, well, you know, his staffers and these people, and they went from this administration and that administration.
00:39:02.280 But these guys are like sleepers, because he worked for Joe Biden as vice president, and he participated in the Ukraine cover-up.
00:39:10.740 So to an extent—
00:39:11.480 I didn't even know that until you told me.
00:39:12.680 Yeah, I mean, he was kind of there on the famous calls.
00:39:17.740 And so the thing is, it's like the problem with the Trump White House at the time is it was infested with these people.
00:39:22.960 Because, hey, you work in the government.
00:39:24.460 You know what you're doing.
00:39:25.720 Like, come on into the White House and, like, run this thing that, you know, I mean, how's everyone supposed to know?
00:39:32.040 We're not going to make that mistake the second time.
00:39:33.960 No, not again.
00:39:35.280 Not again.
00:39:35.820 And I think that's why we picked those examples.
00:39:38.480 We really wanted people to understand that, like, you don't know who they are.
00:39:41.480 And frankly, I mean, they are just kind of doing their job, you know, to protect the system.
00:39:47.340 You know, in some ways they're not even bad people.
00:39:49.720 They just think that they're like, oh, we have to protect the institution.
00:39:53.020 So, you know, they're not all bad.
00:39:54.340 And one of the things I really liked about your book was that it says that, like, most of these people who work in the government are actually just doing their job.
00:40:01.980 And they're, you know, they're not all bad.
00:40:04.760 But there are a couple of these bad people.
00:40:05.640 Monica was one of the good ones in there.
00:40:07.380 As were you, my friend.
00:40:09.600 But apparently, if you asked the New York Times, we were one of the really bad ones.
00:40:12.640 Yeah, it's all everything.
00:40:14.140 The truth is always inverted when you're dealing with the left.
00:40:17.180 Yeah, so what surprised you the most when you read Cash's book and then you started to take on this film?
00:40:23.620 What shocked you the most?
00:40:25.700 Well, it's interesting because having spent so much time in Clinton world.
00:40:29.620 Nothing shocks you?
00:40:30.460 Well, yeah, in some ways it's not.
00:40:33.460 But I think what shocked me was the really when the Gina Haspel stuff.
00:40:39.640 Oh, yeah.
00:40:40.260 Because the thing is, is the CIA, and actually one of the things we actually had to cut from the film was the NSA wire, allowing the White House to be wiretapped.
00:40:49.640 Damn it, he just told me this, and he's doing it on national TV.
00:40:52.900 I know, it was.
00:40:53.720 I worked so hard at that segment.
00:40:55.540 It was, it was, yeah, it's a great segment.
00:40:58.420 But the problem is once you get into that, you had to get into all sorts of other things.
00:41:01.460 But they allowed the oval to be tapped for nine, like nine months, which means the NSA had to allow a crew to go into the White House.
00:41:10.540 And to me, that was the most shocking thing, even by Clinton standards.
00:41:15.240 Yeah, you know, the assumption, and I had it too when I first entered the administration.
00:41:20.900 I don't know if you had this as well, Cash.
00:41:22.860 But the assumption is we're all in government.
00:41:25.480 We're all on the same team.
00:41:27.200 And therefore, we're all out to protect each other.
00:41:29.820 And look, I think with General Flynn, when he was in office, maybe, what, two days?
00:41:34.520 And Comey calls him and says, I'm sending two FBI agents over to talk to you.
00:41:39.080 No big deal.
00:41:41.080 Flynn's assumption.
00:41:42.300 And Flynn worked in military intelligence.
00:41:45.040 But the assumption that we all have, because we are all decent human beings, is that we're all on the same side.
00:41:50.960 And we're working here together for the greater good.
00:41:53.100 And that is not true.
00:41:54.380 And I think that's the essence of it.
00:41:56.360 You know, we and Americans were duped because we had a belief in the system.
00:42:01.320 And people who took an oath to protect this country and do their jobs violated that oath almost on a daily basis.
00:42:07.400 And guys like Flynn were steamrolled.
00:42:09.140 And it would take me two years until I was deputy director of National Intelligence to declassify DOJ's own exculpatory evidence on him.
00:42:15.700 And this is the stuff we don't even get into in the film.
00:42:17.560 So in about, like, 15 seconds, tell us the favorite part about the movie.
00:42:21.560 I'm putting you on the spot.
00:42:22.780 And then we'll wrap it up.
00:42:23.760 My favorite part is the documents case.
00:42:26.160 It's the Mayor of Garland.
00:42:27.120 You said that you need one case.
00:42:28.680 And I found a big, long clip where Mayor Garland lays out all of the documents that Joe Biden had in his possession.
00:42:35.800 And that's it.
00:42:36.580 You drop the mic.
00:42:37.520 You're done.
00:42:38.300 That's the only clip you have to watch in the movie.
00:42:39.840 And now it has a happy ending.
00:42:41.140 It's an amazing ending.
00:42:42.180 It's going to be appealed and go to the Supreme Court.
00:42:45.020 But effectively, this case is over.
00:42:46.700 Yeah, we have to get this movie out before all of our cases are solved.
00:42:48.800 I guess this is just one in the trilogy, everybody.
00:42:53.660 Matthew Teller, thanks so much for joining us.
00:42:55.380 Thank you for having me.
00:42:55.900 Go to warroom.film, warroom.film.
00:42:58.300 Order the movie today.
00:42:59.600 Come see it live tomorrow at the RNC right here in Milwaukee, the Miller High Life Theater.
00:43:04.800 2 p.m.
00:43:05.380 Doors open.
00:43:06.280 It's free.
00:43:06.840 Bring your friends.
00:43:07.520 We'll do some photos.
00:43:08.280 Bring the books.
00:43:09.160 Matthew will be there.
00:43:10.180 Hopefully Monica will be there.
00:43:11.380 Our French producer, brillianter, will be there.
00:43:14.700 And we'll see you on the other side.
00:43:15.780 I want to warn you of a huge change that could be coming to our money and our bank accounts.
00:43:21.080 First, think back to 9-11, shortly after the government pushed through the Patriot Act.
00:43:25.500 This gave the government power to spy on innocent Americans by monitoring our phone and email
00:43:30.800 and tracking our movement across the Internet.
00:43:33.860 Now, Jim Rickards, editor of the independent financial newsletter Strategic Intelligence
00:43:38.380 and New York Times bestselling author, is warning about a coming event that could elevate this
00:43:44.140 governmental surveillance to a terrifying new level.
00:43:46.780 In fact, some of the guests I've had on the war room believe that the government will
00:43:50.960 soon expand their powers to track our every move.
00:43:54.660 If we say the wrong things on social media, donate to the wrong causes, buy firearms, or even
00:44:00.560 vote MAGA, the government may be able to shut us out of our bank accounts.
00:44:04.900 I can't say for sure if this will happen, but it's an interesting and dire warning.
00:44:11.100 Fortunately, Jim Rickards, an American patriot and friend of mine, has made it his mission
00:44:15.180 to educate us on what he believes is coming and how to protect yourself from the possibility
00:44:21.120 of programmable money.
00:44:23.580 Watch Jim's warning video now before it's censored like I've been in the past.
00:44:29.180 Go to RickardsWarRoom.com.
00:44:31.140 That's RickardsWarRoom.com now to see the video.
00:44:35.480 Your host, Stephen K.
00:44:37.300 Band.
00:44:42.600 Hey, everybody.
00:44:43.700 Welcome back to Milwaukee, the RNC War Room Live with the great Monica Crowley.
00:44:48.560 We are joined by a tremendous guest.
00:44:51.100 I'm biased because he is one of my closest friends.
00:44:54.300 He is Donald Trump's Western warrior, as the president is called Mike McDonald, the Nevada
00:44:59.040 GOP chairman.
00:45:00.080 Before we get over to that, of course, everyone's worried about the economy.
00:45:04.020 And thankfully, we have President Trump and J.D.
00:45:06.000 Vance now leading the charge.
00:45:07.240 But should you want to secure your interest, go to BirchGold.com backslash ban and BirchGold.com
00:45:11.840 backslash ban.
00:45:12.480 And now is a great time to invest in gold.
00:45:14.520 It is the one commodity that is seemingly always going up.
00:45:17.440 So go to BirchGold.com.
00:45:19.160 Thanks to our friends for supporting us.
00:45:21.120 Now, there aren't really two better people to talk.
00:45:24.660 Looks like East and West meets New York meets Nevada.
00:45:26.920 This is great.
00:45:29.140 You know, and Michael's been with the Nevada GOP for 20 plus years.
00:45:33.900 The chairman for 14, almost 14.
00:45:36.340 And so I want you guys to take it away.
00:45:38.160 I'm going to geek out.
00:45:38.940 You guys go and I'm going to take notes.
00:45:41.580 But I want you to ask Michael what his favorite restaurant is in Vegas because he still hasn't
00:45:44.660 told me.
00:45:45.060 Oh, well, I haven't been to Vegas in a while, so I have to make a return trip.
00:45:49.380 Great to meet you.
00:45:50.420 We have not met in person.
00:45:52.040 Michael, great to have you here.
00:45:53.200 Can you talk a little bit about where the race stands right now in Nevada?
00:45:58.460 Because we know it's a critical swing state.
00:46:00.900 We know that President Trump is making a real effort to go after union votes.
00:46:06.020 And Nevada is a big union state because of all the hotels and casinos, et cetera.
00:46:10.780 Talk about where the race stands right now in your state.
00:46:13.420 Oh, thank you.
00:46:14.040 And she said Nevada perfectly, too.
00:46:15.740 She did.
00:46:16.160 She said Nevada, not Nevada.
00:46:17.440 I screw it up all the time.
00:46:18.020 No, you just did.
00:46:18.820 It was perfect.
00:46:19.260 We needed you to announce our state as a delegation.
00:46:21.640 We're, like, really hinging on that.
00:46:23.920 Look, it's an issue where, you know, when I was elected, I had full union support.
00:46:27.860 I've been a Republican my entire life, but I had full union support.
00:46:31.400 It's about the working men and women.
00:46:32.880 And the barrier that has been put up by class that the union bosses are bought and paid for
00:46:39.000 by the Democratic Party are coming down because we have new leadership coming in.
00:46:42.380 And the working men and women through modern technology are looking and saying, wait a
00:46:46.380 minute, why are we voting for Biden when everything's bad now?
00:46:48.980 Everything's worse.
00:46:50.220 And President Trump's coming up with fresh ideas.
00:46:52.260 He's knocking down barriers.
00:46:53.780 He's a union guy.
00:46:54.800 Look, he wants everybody to succeed.
00:46:56.800 When everybody succeeds, there's money in your pocket.
00:46:58.360 Everybody spends it, which makes the economy go.
00:47:00.520 So he came out with a big, we were talking about it a few years ago, no taxes on tips.
00:47:04.600 No tax on tips.
00:47:05.560 He announced that, Mike.
00:47:06.580 Oh, he's got Las Vegas, Nevada.
00:47:08.000 And the best thing about it, like the monitors were shaking and everything.
00:47:11.620 He did it straight off.
00:47:12.600 Cash and I were sitting together.
00:47:14.020 And he looks over and he goes, and this one thing, he's really upset about the monitors.
00:47:17.840 He looks over and he goes, and no taxes on tips.
00:47:20.960 So that was, when he looked over, I was like, he pointed.
00:47:23.660 I was like, it's a great issue.
00:47:25.860 He cares about it.
00:47:26.680 He understands it.
00:47:27.720 It was first brought up by Fred Domini, who used to own the Tropicana.
00:47:31.960 He talked about the taxes and what happens on that.
00:47:34.000 And, you know, I was born and raised in Las Vegas.
00:47:36.040 So, you know, taxes or tips put food in the stomach, clothes in the back.
00:47:41.420 And you know what?
00:47:42.320 I mean, a lot of people are saying, well, it's only for people who are working now for tips.
00:47:46.420 That is not true.
00:47:47.400 No.
00:47:47.840 Most of us, including me, have worked jobs where you are working for the tip.
00:47:52.880 So whether you're still doing those jobs or not, you can relate to wanting to keep all of your tip money.
00:48:00.180 It's an extraordinary, it's a master move, I think.
00:48:03.100 And I think it's going to have huge sway in your state.
00:48:06.040 I think so, but also nationally.
00:48:07.460 We were in California, we put no tax, vote Trump, no taxes on tips.
00:48:11.100 Everybody's like, yes, I'm voting for Trump.
00:48:13.200 So it's resonating across because it's an issue that is common.
00:48:17.120 If you work for tips and you really work really hard, it's a gift.
00:48:21.300 It's not a taxable thing.
00:48:23.320 If I like everything you're doing, you get great service, I give you a great tip because you're a great service.
00:48:27.740 That's a gift.
00:48:28.820 And they're taxing the gifts.
00:48:29.760 And that's what everything's starting to change, the mindset.
00:48:32.340 And the union workers, like I said, we have great unions out in Nevada.
00:48:35.660 They put me in office when I was a city councilman and mayor pro tem.
00:48:39.800 But more importantly, they're understanding now that you actually have someone that's coming back to the White House that cares about the working men and women.
00:48:46.820 And for so long, the Democrats keep trying to throw this blade up there, blade up there.
00:48:49.980 President Biden was just out there.
00:48:51.500 They're trying to plug the holes.
00:48:53.000 We have a person that's running for re-election.
00:48:55.120 Now she's like, oh, yeah, no taxes on tip.
00:48:56.780 I'm for that.
00:48:57.980 It's a problem.
00:48:58.920 Monica, I got to get you to quiz, Mike, on the deep state and the two-tier system of justice.
00:49:05.480 You're talking to a man who is a victim of the Nevada state basis on constitutional prosecution for the election.
00:49:11.600 And the case got dismissed.
00:49:14.260 God is good.
00:49:15.300 God is great.
00:49:15.960 God is good all the time.
00:49:18.020 So share your story with us.
00:49:19.780 I can't go too much into it because of the attorneys.
00:49:21.360 But we were indicted for the electoral process, the electors.
00:49:27.800 And it was held off, held off, held off.
00:49:29.780 And then it was almost like systematic when you look at it.
00:49:32.120 I'm from law enforcement.
00:49:32.960 I'm a law enforcement.
00:49:33.800 I still am in law enforcement.
00:49:35.640 When everything started coming down, Georgia went and everything else.
00:49:40.100 And our attorney general, who's a big Democrat, we're friends.
00:49:43.540 He's a great politician.
00:49:46.120 So this indictment, I'm like, that doesn't really sound like something he would do.
00:49:50.080 I mean, he usually makes his judgments.
00:49:52.140 So it went down.
00:49:53.940 It was, you could see where it was going.
00:49:56.340 Like, this was bigger than Nevada.
00:49:58.780 This was bigger than, there was someone, there's something behind this.
00:50:01.500 And our attorneys are phenomenal.
00:50:04.400 Rick Wright's been my attorney since probably 1995.
00:50:09.040 And they looked at it.
00:50:10.240 He's a big Democrat.
00:50:11.220 Many of our attorneys, we have three Democrat attorneys, three Republican attorneys.
00:50:14.140 I bet the world didn't know that.
00:50:15.240 Yeah.
00:50:15.500 Seagal Shadows, one of our attorneys, our national committee woman.
00:50:18.500 So when they looked at it combined, they went, there's nothing here.
00:50:21.200 And we had a big ACLU attorney.
00:50:23.280 She is phenomenal.
00:50:24.400 And they all looked at it and said, no.
00:50:25.420 You know, thank God your case shook out the way it did.
00:50:29.020 Like we say, God is good.
00:50:30.800 But it really goes to show that whether it's Merrick Garland or Jack Smith or the U.S. attorneys in your case, that they're all so deeply corrupt.
00:50:41.020 And the point is that they know that there is no case.
00:50:44.060 Jack Smith knows there is no January 6th case or documents case.
00:50:47.840 They don't care.
00:50:49.540 They don't care about the law or the rule of law.
00:50:52.160 The process is the punishment.
00:50:54.040 So they just wanted to stick it to you and make you rack up, you know, big legal bills.
00:51:00.020 You've been through it.
00:51:00.700 I've been through it.
00:51:01.780 The process is the punishment.
00:51:04.260 And you emerged unscathed on the other side.
00:51:06.960 Mike, thanks so much for joining the War Room.
00:51:08.620 It's a pleasure.
00:51:09.240 My friends and the War Room posse, possibly the greatest state chairman, Mike McDonald from the great state of Nevada.
00:51:15.280 Donald Trump has called him his Western warrior.
00:51:17.360 And he has said, if we win Nevada, we win the whole damn thing.
00:51:20.420 So people might want to pay attention.
00:51:21.840 Rock on, Mike.
00:51:22.660 Rock it down.
00:51:23.180 Thanks for being with us.
