Steve and Monica pay their respects to Lou Dobbs and the many others who lost their lives in a tragic accident. They also discuss the Democratic National Convention and the impact it has had on the country and the world.
00:01:25.580You know, we need to give the Congresswoman a shout out because she is wearing like four inch heels and she's managing to rock them throughout the whole convention.
00:02:54.340But CNN's executives were not happy with him when he was doing Lou Dobbs tonight, 7 p.m. Eastern.
00:03:01.020And he was driving the story on illegal immigration.
00:03:05.240I'm talking like 20 years ago and talking about having a porous border and all of the dangers that go along with that.
00:03:12.660And how mass illegal immigration was diluting the United States of America, how it was posing a danger, how it was really diluting our culture and our society.
00:03:46.540I saw that President Trump put out a beautiful statement about his dear friend Lou Dobbs.
00:03:50.880And we all share in that sympathy for his family.
00:03:53.340For those of you in the audience who've watched Steve's PBS Frontline interview, he talks about his first time meeting President Trump, then candidate or then even before he was before he ever announced.
00:04:03.900And he says that all of the stuff that then Donald Trump was saying about the border, about trade, about China, he was parroting talking points from none other than Lou Dobbs on Fox Business.
00:04:13.200So really an interesting, I think, a really pivotal, transformative man in media.
00:04:31.480But we're always honored to have you here in the war room.
00:04:33.360Speaking of that transformation that you're alluding to when it comes to immigration, I feel like that's one of the issues that President Trump was able to kind of skyrocket onto the scene with.
00:05:32.360And it's extremely important for us to get back to who we are as Americans.
00:05:37.760We remember after 9-11 how we all came together during that time.
00:05:42.220And I think that this assassination attempt on President Trump is also one of those pivotal things that happened in history that hopefully bring us all together.
00:05:52.000And speaking of that assassination attempt, we're starting to see reports that despite Oversight wanting to hold a hearing with the Secret Service director, obviously her appearance last night I think confirms that we definitely need to have that hearing.
00:06:03.580We're already getting reports that Mayorkas is sort of telling them to stand down, to not cooperate.
00:06:08.560Can you walk us through sort of the latest on that front?
00:06:10.900Yes, I serve on Homeland Committee and we're already, it's already, the stonewalling has begun.
00:06:16.620So Mayorkas has said he will not come before our committee.
00:06:21.640Then I'm also on the Oversight Committee.
00:06:23.780We have jurisdiction over Secret Service.
00:06:26.000We're working very hard to line up our hearings starting this week.
00:06:29.840But you can tell that the narrative is being set in place and they're not willing to give the full details and name names, which we definitely need to know.
00:06:38.740Between that and the fact that within two hours after those bullets started to fly, the FBI claimed jurisdiction over the investigation.
00:06:50.560This is the same FBI and leadership that buried the Hunter Biden laptop, that raided Mar-a-Lago, a whole series of attacks and affronts to President Trump.
00:07:01.320Hey, folks, I would love to be there tonight in Milwaukee, this afternoon in Milwaukee, as we premiere this incredible film, Government Gangsters.
00:07:31.080We are going to be broadcasting live on World America's Voice.
00:07:35.100We have a great cast to tell, a great Matthew Taylor.
00:07:37.820On stage, I'm Raheem Kassar, and I'm going to thank you all.
00:07:42.100For coming out here today and seeing this quite extraordinary film that these gentlemen and many others have made, obviously, in tribute today to Stephen K. Bannon,
00:07:52.740our great general who can't be with us today because of the corruption that you saw on the television screen, on the movie screen in front of you here.
00:08:00.340So I want to invite everybody to take a seat, and we're going to do a quick Q&A and host the war room live here today.
00:08:06.800I also, you know, it's not ideal to have to do this, but I also want to, you know, make sure that we honor the great Lou Dobbs who passed today, unfortunately.
00:08:17.720And, you know, our prayers and our thoughts should remain with Lou's family and, of course, for his soul.
00:08:25.860And we are in a very, very, very dangerous time right now.
00:08:31.860And so I want to ask the first question before we throw it open to the floor for questions, too.
00:08:38.440But the first question I have about this movie that you guys have made,
00:08:41.720and to the audience out there, to the War Room audience watching this remotely, let's make sure you go to get it.
00:08:46.460It's warroom.film to go and watch that, warroom.film.
00:08:52.840It's a logistical feat to make a movie, right?
00:08:56.440I know it from looking at the wrinkles that Matthew never had before and that he has now, especially after this, to put all of this together.
00:09:04.080But it's an increasingly difficult thing when the subject matter itself is so dangerous, is so, you know, puts a target over your head.
00:09:14.140You know, we've all seen what's happened in the last week.
00:09:16.120We all know what's gone on in our own lives over the last decade plus of doing this and being on the front lines of this fight.
00:09:22.380And I look into the audience here, I know so many of you are on those front lines, too.
00:09:26.220And credit to all of those who have joined up, who have joined as committee men, who are fighting the fight every day.
00:09:33.100Do we have any of the precinct committee men in the audience here?
00:09:41.680So here's the first question, and I'll throw it to Cash and then to Matthew here.
00:09:48.520How dangerous do you feel it is to do something like this, to publish something like this?
00:09:53.960Because you spoke at the end in the film there about a two-tiered justice system.
00:09:57.920It increasingly feels like there is a no-justice system and that actually the arbitrary detention, the arbitrary targeting of political figures, what I like to call dissidents, quite frankly.
00:10:10.740You know, how can you possibly, in this day and age, seeing what we've seen, especially over the last week, go out and do something like this?
00:10:17.640Well, after more than half a dozen death threats, what's another one?
00:10:20.920You know, and that's sad, but that's the reality, and that's okay, because we get our will, we get our power from guys like Stephen K. Bannon and, of course, Donald Trump.
00:10:30.360And if they're not going to lie down, why should we?
00:10:32.320You know, we can't be afraid to take a course of action that's going to impact America for the better.
00:10:39.580And, you know, logistically, yes, I have to echo, you know, this is dedicated to Steve, and I have to address, you know, Lou Dobbs, a friend, a mentor, his wife, his family, lovely, lovely people, and that's tragic.
00:10:58.040What Lou did for news, what Lou did for media, what Lou did for the truth is just, that's generational, and you probably won't see something like that for a long time to come.
00:11:08.560So, happy to dedicate this movie in his honor as well.
00:11:13.840You know, it's easy to look at this film and say, oh my goodness, we're so overwhelmed, and ah, the FBI, and see, this is a document of hope in some ways, because this man here discovered all this stuff, and that's why we can bring it to you today, right?
00:11:32.980They failed at Russiagate, they failed at the impeachment, Donald Trump was elected president, right, in impossible odds.
00:11:43.840And he won, and he won, and he said he's going to win, and he kept winning, and winning, and winning.
00:11:48.380So, what this is, is this an example, thanks to people like Cash Patel, Devin Nunes, and all the other people who work, you know, to fight evil, that you can win against an enemy with unlimited resources and unlimited reach.
00:12:04.680That's why we're all here today, and that's what we're going to do for the next four to five months.
00:12:09.020We're going to fight this, and this is a document of hope, of how to do it.
00:12:14.080And they can have all the resources in the world, and they can have all the reach, and do whatever they want, but it is possible to win, because we have won before, and we will win again.
00:12:22.880I have to just give a shout-out to The War Room.
00:12:28.780You guys are live on The War Room, so that's pretty cool.
00:12:31.640Dan Fluet, the brilliant magician producer running around back there somewhere, and Matthew Taylor, who I've heard of his work.
00:14:37.980Yeah, it's such a well-received point because I think in an environment where there is so much content out there, right, and everybody is now a content creator, everybody is now kind of a movie maker and fancies themselves in those roles.
00:14:53.220And look, the democratization of that element of technology is necessarily a good thing.
00:14:57.820It's given way and cause to so many other great entities out there and so much more truth being reported out there.
00:15:04.180I think about just, you know, maybe 10 years ago, we wouldn't have dreamt of having, you know, Real America's Voice and the whole team and the whole distribution network and all those things.
00:15:12.620And so, you know, great credit to Rob and Parker Sig and the RAV team.
00:16:38.640We showed it in the beginning of the film.
00:16:39.780Pick a target, you know, or come up with an idea, leak it to the press, you know, destroy the target, and then show that, like, this pattern would be repeated over and over and over and over again through their various operations.
00:16:52.580The other nice thing is that it was in chronological order.
00:16:55.860So when they failed at one thing, they moved on to the next thing.
00:16:59.380And so it was really trying to – it's more about whether it's Donald Trump or somebody else, the pattern is the same.
00:17:06.220And you say it in the book multiple times.
00:17:07.900Like, these guys aren't even that creative, you know.
00:17:10.540They're just like, well, let's just switch it from Russia to Ukraine.
00:17:13.640Like, you know, they're not a very creative group of people, but they do have vast resource and so on.
00:17:19.160So it really came down to, like, figuring out what the through line is because with a book, you have multiple dimensions.
00:18:21.320And so I was like, no, they've got to be up there.
00:18:24.220And you've got to – you know, I'm glad I lost those battles because I would have been wrong had you guys not chosen these characters.
00:18:32.900Because I think I have too much of a personal, you know, issue with a lot of these folks.
00:18:38.760And what you guys were trying to do and I think succeeded here is show the world – because you've got to hit pause there for a second.
00:18:47.100Half the world still thinks Donald Trump's a Russian asset because they were lied to for eight years.
00:18:51.180So I think what you guys were trying to do and I see it now in retrospect is stitch it together for people not only who are in the know, like y'all, but people who are, like, kind of in the know.
00:19:00.160And then for people who are absolutely not in the know at all, you know, these are the right figures to paste on this board.
00:19:07.040And these are the right, absolute right people to do it.
00:19:10.080And hopefully it energizes people to go in and find out the depths of what the other corrupt actors did.
00:20:38.620You know, these gentlemen up here have done the extremely, extremely hard work.
00:20:42.140We have the easy part of it, right, which is just buying the book, getting it into people's hands, getting the movie, forwarding it on, sharing it on with people.
00:20:49.200Warroom.film is the URL you can get it at.
00:20:52.700And I want to ask you, Cash, about putting all of that information together.
00:20:56.520Just put us, if you can, in the mind of Cash Patel.
00:21:16.720Vince Haley and Ross Worthington, the president's speechwriters, were the guys that I worked with in the White House with the president for years.
00:21:26.560So they were able to understand my ethos because we were friends and we worked together.
00:21:30.740And we worked through the hardest of times and the biggest of triumphs.
00:21:33.480And they saw how I operated and they were able to take how I operated and streamline into a book and say, no, we're going to cut this out.
00:21:42.480That's – I understand why you want that in there, but this isn't relevant or this doesn't fit with the story.
00:21:47.020So honestly, they said, you know, we have to get the print so fast.
00:21:51.080We didn't know the Biden administration would spend 10 months blocking my manuscript.
00:22:53.040But it's the ability to put it down in a way that makes sense to the experts, the people who are in this every day, the people who are a little bit below them, and the people who are new.
00:23:04.040And that's, I think, you know, the message of the book and what President Trump is doing here about unity, the driving message is the truth.
00:23:12.120People in America and the world were lied to about every single subject in this movie.
00:23:17.280And we are still eight years later correcting that record.
00:23:20.960So I think the tail end of the book and the movie is to do just that.
00:23:25.120You all have to go out there and marshal the resources now in your communities together and say, look, we were lied to.
00:23:31.380We were robbed of our ability to vote based on the truth.
00:23:34.160In a presidential election, not once but twice over, are we going to let it happen a third time?
00:23:39.740And that's hopefully the motivating force is you all have to, as Raheem said, get out there and put this and other information out there that is truthful and not attack people.
00:23:52.320And that's why the media is such a big part of it.
00:23:54.480And, of course, they'll be the first ones to trash it, which is how we know we did it right.
00:23:58.000Let me pick up on a point that Cash just made there about reaching people who are experts in this area but also reaching people and trying to convince people in a lot of ways about so much of the content that is in this movie.
00:24:19.700Let's get an explainer from Matthew here about how do you decide on the topics, how do you keep it relevant?
00:26:30.340A lot of these headlines, if you look at the dates, the dates of these headlines, they are just a month or two ago.
00:26:36.860That means it has taken that long, eight years, six years, four years, for some of this information to be reported on by the mainstream media.
00:26:48.280I mean, most of them are from 2024, and most of them are from CBS and places like that.
00:26:53.800So that's really what it comes down to.
00:26:55.060At the end of the day, you have to be able to share this information because, honestly, the impeachment was a difficult one for us to untangle.
00:27:03.360That was probably the hardest one because Eric Sharmella, no one's ever heard of this guy.
00:27:07.600He's a mid-level bureaucratic who knows what.
00:27:11.740And so I want people to sit there and be like, hey, because you know what?
00:27:14.580Vindman is running around on what's it called?
00:27:17.020On Curb Your Enthusiasm, being clapped as a hero.
00:29:07.140The casting war room right now actually started as war room impeachment.
00:29:11.340And it was, you know, back in the day, and it was a tiny, tiny amount of the audience that it has now, right?
00:29:18.960And it was extremely nerdy and extremely detailed.
00:29:21.820I remember Steve calling me literally the day before we did the first pilot episode.
00:29:27.500He says, what are you up to at the moment?
00:29:28.660I was up doing a couple of projects and that, but nothing really, you know, taking up 28 hours of every day.
00:29:35.100He says, I'm going to put you to work.
00:29:36.720You know, I said, all right, what have you got for me?
00:29:39.040He says, we're going to start this show.
00:29:39.980And you're going to go through every bit of documentation, every bit of testimony, every piece of the puzzle that has led us to this point.
00:29:47.180And we're going to do a podcast about it.
00:29:49.020And I used to co-host the SiriusXM show with Steve on Patriot 125 back in the day, the Breitbart News Radio show.
00:29:56.520And I couldn't wait because that was my favorite format.
00:29:59.540You know, Steve screaming into a microphone I think is all of our favorite formats, frankly.
00:30:03.380And it's the establishment's worst nightmare, quite frankly.
00:30:08.140And so the impeachment point is very well taken.
00:30:11.060I think it's really important to go back to that moment in time and realize that really, you know, of course the Russiagate stuff was their first foray, major foray into the delegitimization effort of not just Donald Trump, but all of you and your lives out there at the moment.
00:30:26.780But the impeachment one was they really first jumped the shark, I think.
00:30:29.600And it's been that ever since, and even to the point of what you see happening last week, obviously, with the attempted assassination of President Trump.
00:30:38.520And I think a lot of us are still processing that and still, you know, trying to figure out how we explain to our non-political friends and family how we got to this point.
00:33:47.800This comes back, by the way, I think, if I'm reading your point right, to a lot of the Schedule F stuff and getting rid of just vast swathes of entrenched.
00:33:58.980And like Nigel always says, my old mate Nigel Farage always says, and if you spot him around, he's at the convention, by the way.
00:34:05.340So if you spot him around, you've got to buy him a PBR as well or two.
00:34:10.940You know, he says they're all in bed together.
00:34:13.180They're all marrying each other's sisters.
00:34:15.220They're all, you know, part of the same club and you're not in it.
00:34:17.920And I think if you were to make a list, there's got to be kind of a Wikipedia-style list of all of these people.
00:34:23.580You would have to buy an entire data farm to hold the level of information, you know, of just how many malign actors there are in the government that you pay for, right?
00:34:33.960And that is the hardest part to take, I think, for so many people.
00:34:37.660And you bring up a good point, and it's something I really want to stress.
00:34:40.920Like, you know, this film and these incidents were targeted at Donald Trump.
00:34:45.320But the thing is, is that, and we talked about this backstage, in 10 years, there'll be a different president.
00:34:50.180And these people, they have their own design on doing whatever they want to do.
00:34:55.640So, like, you know, he, like we say at the end of the film, happened to expose a lot of these activities.
00:35:01.520But, you know, they have an autonomy that needs to be reined in and made accountable.
00:35:08.420And like you said, it is, it is, it's bipartisan, it's nonpartisan, it's, it's, you know, it just happens.
00:35:14.520This point in history is when they got out over their skis.
00:35:18.380Thanks to people like Kash Patel, we were able to beat them.
00:35:22.720And just to add to that, it's demonic as well, quite frankly.
00:35:25.180And I think, you know, that's something that we always need to stress again, is the spiritual element and spiritual part of all of this.
00:35:31.500Which, on my travels around Europe with Ben Berkwam over the last couple of weeks, you know, he was a great inspiration for reminding me every single day.
00:35:39.840You know, Ben Berkwam will walk into any place with a MAGA hat on.
00:43:16.740We know about the Brennan debriefing about the Oval and the ICA and all this other stuff we can go on and get into forever.
00:43:22.640As to Gina Haspel, I could probably siphon off for the next day the problems with what this is probably one of the most corrupt people ever.
00:53:04.420The other point to make, I think, is I just want to make sure that the audience realize we've got about 10 minutes left.
00:53:12.700If you've got any more questions, we can take a couple more questions here as well.
00:53:15.660I just want to reiterate for the audience, warroom.film in this movie, this fantastic movie, fantastic amounts of research by Cash that we're dedicating, obviously, today to Stephen K. Bannon.
00:53:26.340And who knows, maybe we do a screening on the wall, the outer walls of Danbury.
00:53:51.420I wonder if maybe you have a little insight on the recently, I guess it was dismissed or dropped, classified documents with Trump.
00:54:00.020If you have, maybe you can expound a little bit on what you know, the details on that and how that came about and what, you know.
00:54:06.720It was a anvil that was thrown against the two-tier system of justice by a well-written, well-versed judicial opinion based in constitutional law.
00:54:34.960We can get into the minutia of the argument and the points aside.
00:54:38.300But the problem I have as a national security, former national security prosecutor at DOJ is I kept going through the halls of justice there and they would tell me, this is, well, this is a tradition at DOJ.
00:54:49.480This is a principle we've had for 40 years.
00:54:52.060I'm like, I thought we were the Department of Justice.
00:55:21.360It's really, it could not be more simple.
00:55:23.660And the left is terrified because the rest of Jack Smith's cases are probably going away.
00:55:28.020They should go away for a whole host of other reasons.
00:55:30.040But at least she went to the crystal clear piece of the law that not even the radical left wing can argue that there's a contrary position.
00:55:36.660So it was really powerful in my opinion.
00:55:38.980I mean, look, if we don't get this movie out soon, we'll have all of these things knocked down.
00:55:44.620So, yeah, no, it was a, it's, it's, someone asked me what my favorite part of the film was.
00:56:01.180I mean, like that Merrick Garland clip of him, I think it's like 90 seconds long of him literally saying, we went to Joe Biden's house and there were things.
00:56:09.320And, you know, while he was vice president that are classified, the whole clip plays.
00:56:13.600So you hear it from his own, you know, you hear it from Merrick Garland's mouth and then you see the headline, nothing.
00:56:22.120And then you see the next headline, seven, seven indictments for Donald Trump, who actually is the president.
00:56:28.820I mean, that's, that's why it's, I think my, it's the most clear, you say it in the movie, it's the most clear thing to look at.
00:56:34.480It's the most binary thing to look at.
00:56:38.160And I think these cases, I think a lot of them, there's other parts, I think, of the case.
00:56:43.060You know, again, the one in New York recently where he was indicted, I think, 34 times.
00:56:48.020This is a similar parallel to how Hillary Clinton paid Fusion GPS.
00:56:52.880Same thing, but she got a $134,000 fine.
00:56:55.420And I just want to take, before we get to our last question, I just wanted the audience, or two more questions, and everybody listening and watching at home, a special thank you to Rahim Kassem for coming in here and being a champion and carrying this conversation.
00:57:11.600You would think we planned this with how brilliant we sound, but we actually are just making up as we go along.
00:57:48.340And, of course, warroom.film is the URL here.
00:57:50.800And, by the way, just to add to that point as well that you're making, the National Archives, which was supposed to help with the document removal from the White House, were actively refusing to help the outgoing Trump administration at the time.
00:58:29.940Merrick Garland received a congressional subpoena for Joe Biden's horrendous interview with the FBI on the documents case, this audio tape interview that we cannot receive.
00:58:40.820Merrick Garland runs to daddy at the White House and says, Joe, please assert executive privilege.
00:58:45.720I mean, are you seeing the irony here?
00:58:47.240Joe Biden then asserts executive privilege over his own audio tape from an investigation the FBI conducted into himself.
00:58:53.000And then he, Merrick Garland, goes back to Congress and says, oh, you can't prosecute me.
00:58:57.160And my DOJ, my DOJ, which I run, is not going to prosecute myself for violating your contempt of Congress subpoena violation, but will send Steve Bannon to prison.
00:59:07.080If that is not enough of an example of a two-tier system of justice, you really have not been paying attention at all.
01:00:20.900So, look, I think we learned a lot from the first Trump administration.
01:00:24.120We learned that we can't necessarily trust the entrenched bureaucracy and they are selfishly involved in it for themselves, irrespective of whether they carry an R or D for the first name.
01:02:08.360Right before the Nunez memo went out February 2nd, two days before there was a trail derailment with Nunez on the train with the garbage truck that derailed it.
01:02:18.780Do you think there was foul play in there?
01:02:20.720Do you think that was an intentional attempt to silence or kill the messenger?
01:03:40.140Government 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.
01:04:02.820What do you think of the way that the intelligence community handled the so-called Russia dossier?
01:04:11.220And overall, how do you think of the way they've handled Donald Trump?
01:04:32.820I want to warn you of a huge change that could be coming to our money and our bank accounts.
01:04:49.840First, think back to 9-11, shortly after the government pushed through the Patriot Act.
01:04:53.940This gave the government power to spy on innocent Americans by monitoring our phone and email and tracking our movement across the Internet.
01:05:01.880Now, Jim Rickards, editor of the independent financial newsletter Strategic Intelligence and New York Times bestselling author, is warning about a coming event that could elevate this governmental surveillance to a terrifying new level.
01:05:15.940In fact, some of the guests I've had on The War Room believe that the government will soon expand their powers to track our every move.
01:05:23.320If we say the wrong things on social media, donate to the wrong causes, buy firearms, or even vote MAGA, the government may be able to shut us out of our bank accounts.
01:05:34.360I can't say for sure if this will happen, but it's an interesting and dire warning.
01:05:39.880Fortunately, Jim Rickards, an American patriot and friend of mine, has made it his mission to educate us on what he believes is coming and how to protect yourself from the possibility of programmable money.
01:05:52.200Watch Jim's warning video now, before it's censored like I've been in the past.
