Summary
Donald Trump loses his bid to have his criminal sentence reduced to no jail time. The Supreme Court rules in favor of Judge Mershon Mika and sends the case to a lower court. What does this mean for the future of the case and what will it mean for President Trump?
Transcript
00:00:00.000
for you is that, to the surprise of many, including, I'll be honest, myself, the Supreme
00:00:05.620
Court has denied, denied Donald Trump's bid to stay his criminal sentence. He is scheduled to
00:00:12.940
be sentenced tomorrow to no jail time, but as of tomorrow, he will officially be sentenced for the
00:00:20.260
34-count felony conviction in New York. The Supreme Court asked and answered. They have said
00:00:29.340
no to Donald Trump's bid to stay his sentencing. Judge Mershon Mika has already told us that he is
00:00:37.680
leaning, inclined to an unconditional discharge, meaning a sentence of no sentence. That's
00:00:44.060
unusual and highly unusual. And all my years as a federal prosecutor, I've never seen anything
00:00:48.740
like it. Almost always there's a term of incarceration or at least supervised release,
00:00:55.420
probation, community service, a fine, restitution. Something attaches to the conviction. And here,
00:01:02.560
Judge Mershon has said there will be no sentence. But what that means, too, and this is important,
00:01:09.900
is that the underlying criminal case is over. The judgment is final. Mr. Trump, of course,
00:01:16.520
has the right to appeal to a higher court in New York state. But the sentencing proceeding puts an end
00:01:22.700
to the underlying case. It makes Mr. Trump a felon before he assumes office for the second time.
00:01:30.840
I am looking to see whether or not he has anything to say. Many defendants do. Some don't. I don't
00:01:36.480
imagine that he will be apologetic. But felon almost in name only, Chuck, are there any tangible
00:01:42.240
consequences? Because when and if we do hear from Donald Trump, he's going to say this is political
00:01:47.580
persecution. It's a witch hunt. He's not going to take ownership of it. Right. So are there any practical
00:01:51.560
consequences, Stephanie? For the layman like me? No. So he wins? Well, he's still convicted. And
00:01:59.520
perhaps you draw some sustenance from that. I do. A jury of his peers found him guilty by proof beyond
00:02:05.280
a reasonable doubt, and unanimously so. That means something to me. But does he serve time? Does he
00:02:11.860
have to pay a fine? It doesn't seem like that will be the case.
00:02:15.640
This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies. Because we're going medieval on
00:02:26.600
these people. I got a free shot. All these networks lying about the people. The people have had a belly
00:02:33.680
full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything in the world to stop
00:02:37.600
that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen. And where do people like that go to share
00:02:41.940
the big line? MAGA media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:02:50.100
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country,
00:02:56.740
this country will be saved. War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:03:07.600
It's Friday, 10 January in the year of our Lord, 2025. Welcome. You're in the War Room.
00:03:15.300
We're going to have news today and analysis from, you know, going from Moscow and Kyiv to the shores
00:03:22.080
of the Pacific and Pacific Palisades to talk about that situation out there. Also, it's a workday.
00:03:27.980
Texas, a massive and important speaker of the House race that we're going to get into a little later.
00:03:33.640
And also, the most important work we have today is manning the ramparts and these confirmations
00:03:38.500
of Kash Patel and Bondi and Pete Hexeth, et cetera. So it's a workday here in the War Room.
00:03:48.320
But we've got to start with this fiasco in New York City. President Trump, I think, is speaking right
00:03:54.260
now, and he's giving them the old what for about how this has destroyed the legal system,
00:03:59.820
the judiciary. This is a show trial. It's a sham. It's a kangaroo court. Prosecutors are jumping in
00:04:06.520
as President Trump speaks. Say President Trump, I think, before the prosecutor said, have President
00:04:10.100
Trump have destroyed the system. So we have a lot to go through. Mike Davis joins us. Julie Kelly's
00:04:15.340
going to be in on a moment. Mike Davis, you were seeing this in real time. There are no microphones
00:04:20.740
or cameras in the court. This is a New York State Superior Court, I guess it is. And so we're getting
00:04:25.880
all this from texts or from tweets people are putting out in real time. What's your sense?
00:04:30.820
Today is one Mershon. The Supreme Court last night, shockingly, and this is what happens. You know,
00:04:36.600
Coney Barrett was supposed to be the pick, and all the Right to Life people loved her. And she's
00:04:42.000
been a total and complete, unmitigated disaster, except for that one topic. I'll be blunt. She's not
00:04:47.560
exactly, she's not exactly Felix Frankfurter in the mental area. And she just had one bad
00:04:54.560
ruling, five to four last night, Roberts and Coney Barrett deciding against the President.
00:05:02.280
Mike Davis, put in perspective for us what happened last night at the Supreme Court and
00:05:07.800
Yeah, so when you import the third world, you become the third world. And we have this corrupt,
00:05:19.100
partisan, dangerous, third world, trash, Marxist judge in Manhattan, Juan Mershon, who donated to
00:05:29.280
Trump's political opponents, whose adult daughter, Lauren Mershon, got paid by the Kamala campaign,
00:05:37.780
whose adult daughter, Lauren Mershon, is raising money off of this unprecedented, bogus criminal
00:05:45.200
prosecution of a former and future president. There are so many reversible errors in this case.
00:05:53.260
The most glaring right now is that this Mershon ignored the Supreme Court's June presidential
00:06:01.260
immunity decision when the judge refused to declare a mistrial after he allowed in testimony from two
00:06:10.380
top White House aides against President Trump, which is a violation of presidential immunity,
00:06:17.660
right? And so, again, so many reversible errors didn't tell President Trump what the crime was,
00:06:23.700
made up a bogus crime based upon a bogus legal theory. A Soros-funded Manhattan DA, Alvin Bragg,
00:06:31.040
who campaigned on getting Trump, brought this case after Matthew Colangelo got deployed from the Biden
00:06:37.880
Justice Department, the number three official in the Biden Justice Department, a senior political
00:06:43.020
operative to bring this bogus case. The prior Manhattan DA, a Democrat, Cy Vance, refused to bring
00:06:49.520
this case. The Federal Election Commission refused to bring this case. Bragg himself refused to bring
00:06:56.280
this case. And then Colangelo got deployed because Bragg is George Soros's puppet. And then we have this
00:07:03.860
sentencing today. And wait, this is 34 felony counts, they say. He's 34 felony convictions. It's
00:07:11.380
so serious and it's so solemn. Well, so why isn't Mershon putting President Trump in prison today? And we know the
00:07:19.180
answer. The answer is, is even Mershon knows this is lawfare. It's election interference. It's bogus. And this is
00:07:27.740
all about giving President Trump a political black eye 10 days before he's supposed to get sworn in as the
00:07:36.800
President of the United States. And what's so dangerous about this Supreme Court precedent that was set last night,
00:07:44.560
Steve, is this. Okay, the Supreme Court is saying that a partisan, corrupt, dangerous local prosecutor and judge
00:07:56.200
has the ability, they can put a president-elect in prison 10 days before his inauguration. Because
00:08:05.480
remember, Mershon said he's, he said he's probably not going to put President Trump in prison and put
00:08:12.380
conditions on him. But he left that open. So the Supreme Court is saying that that's okay,
00:08:18.280
apparently, because you have three partisan hacks on the Supreme Court, along with a law professor with
00:08:27.100
her head up her ass, and a chief justice, who is a very bad politician.
00:08:36.380
Mike, hang on for one second, we're going to work through this. Joe Hoff's actually going to join us a
00:08:40.600
little later to walk through these ridiculous, bogus charges. Julie Kelly, a stunning, you know,
00:08:46.100
you were on the five o'clock show, and I said, hey, it's getting pretty late in the day. You know,
00:08:50.780
what's going to happen here? And it kind of played out like we thought. I was stunned. Coney Barrett and
00:08:56.680
Roberts, both a disgrace, sided with the radicals about President Trump. Your thoughts, ma'am?
00:09:03.460
Well, I mean, I share everyone's outrage, especially at Amy Coney Barrett. But I think
00:09:09.380
it's to recall that although she was with the majority in the July immunity ruling, she wrote
00:09:16.180
a separate opinion. And she sort of disagreed with Justice Roberts, Chief Justice Roberts and the
00:09:24.100
majority, that counted these outer perimeter acts in the presidency should not be immune from
00:09:30.600
prosecution. So yes, she voted with the majority, but she still had to throw her two cents in.
00:09:35.980
She also, more egregiously, I think, was in the majority with Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor in
00:09:44.740
the Fisher decision, upholding how the DOJ weaponized and abused that post-Enron statute against the
00:09:53.220
president and more than 300 J6ers. She's an absolute disgrace, and people are infuriated because
00:10:00.420
they fought so hard for her. But also, Chief Justice Roberts issued a report last, I think
00:10:08.020
it was right after the first of the year, talking about disinformation being such a threat to the
00:10:14.400
courts, how the courts are above reproach, that people criticizing judges are out of line. I mean,
00:10:22.080
this was this whole missive talking about really denouncing public criticism of judges. This would
00:10:29.000
have been a perfect opportunity for him to send a message to other judges, even though Mershon is not
00:10:34.800
a federal judge. Look, we can't have this kind of partisanship because this is what is destroying the
00:10:41.840
credibility of the judiciary right now. Instead, he endorses what Mershon is doing, not only trying
00:10:49.520
to officially make President Trump a convicted felon today, also allowing him to rant from the bench,
00:10:57.620
which he will presumably will do, because that's what he just did in his order that he issued on
00:11:03.420
January 3rd. But this is, this matter is still pending before the New York appellate court. And
00:11:11.880
Mike could probably speak to this better than I can. Usually when there's an appeal pending related to
00:11:17.720
immunity, the proceedings are suspended. That's exactly what happened in the Washington J6 case.
00:11:23.360
So he's appealing this conviction based on presidential immunity, which of course,
00:11:30.680
that order came down after he was convicted in May of 2024. This relates to conduct when he was
00:11:37.320
president the first time. So there's a very good chance that this conviction will be overturned anyway.
00:11:44.140
What a mess the Supreme Court just made, to Mike's point. And at a time when the Supreme Court,
00:11:51.840
Democrats and the left, of course, are going after the court, and their credibility in the eyes of
00:11:57.280
Democrats is diminishing, this certainly does not help bolster our support of this court, especially
00:12:03.700
the chief justice, by that stomp that they pulled last night.
00:12:07.360
Mike, let's, let's, let's take that head on. I mean, here's the problem you have and you brought
00:12:15.860
it up and she reinforced it. You can have these out of control source backed. I mean, you got Alvin
00:12:21.040
Bragg, Tish James, you have these out of control people. That's going to happen. This is going to
00:12:25.200
happen. And we're trying to protect the system here. Of course, Trump, they see as an existential
00:12:30.320
threat to their system. And he is. But then you have a guy like Marchand. I don't really know if we
00:12:35.140
got Marchand's. There's questions about even, you know, how is even a U.S. citizen? There's all
00:12:40.040
kind of questions about all of this. It's the Supreme Court that's supposed to step in here and
00:12:45.160
say, hey, pencils down. I mean, to me, the most outrageous thing is Roberts once again, because
00:12:52.400
he's so weak. But Coney Barrett's just, I mean, hey, I think she ought to think about an early
00:12:57.800
retirement. I mean that. And give President Trump a opportunity. If she, if she had any, any class,
00:13:05.140
she would immediately step down after President Trump took the oath of office on the 20th. I
00:13:10.100
mean this. I'm going to be all over this. And Coney Barrett, as a matter of honor, personal
00:13:14.680
honor, should step down from the Supreme Court and allow President Trump's, one of his first
00:13:19.360
acts is to start putting a replacement for her in the Supreme Court. This is outrageous.
00:13:23.980
Am I too far out of line here? I mean, this is outrageous what the Supreme Court did.
00:13:27.720
Mershaw and these guys are gangsters. Look what they did in this thing. We're going to have
00:13:32.500
hopped here just to reinforce how outrageous this is. I'll tell you what, Mike, hang on.
00:13:36.840
We're going to go to the break and we'll bring you and Julie back. A dark day after a, the
00:13:42.260
American people sat as a jury on this on the 5th of November in the year of our Lord, 2024.
00:13:49.100
The American people, after dealing with this for years, rendered a verdict. Remember, Lincoln
00:13:55.540
said this is very important to do these policies, but then give time for the American people to
00:14:00.360
turn it over in their mind. And if you think of all the onslaught of the, of the, uh, of
00:14:05.320
the media against this, you know, besides war room, you had a couple other small sites at
00:14:10.060
the time that fought back on this. And the American people listened and they watched and
00:14:18.460
they rendered a verdict that President Trump must return to power to stop this, to stop this
00:14:25.640
weaponization. Of everything else, President Trump's got to do. This has got to be important.
00:14:32.120
We have to de-weaponize this system. And you're not going to de-weaponize it when you have weak
00:14:37.900
willed people like Chief Justice Roberts, who is a total disgrace, but Coney Barrett, outrageous.
00:14:45.480
She should immediately resign from the Supreme court at high noon on the 20th.
00:14:49.720
At high noon on the 20th. She's principled. Resign. Let President Trump fill that billet.
00:15:00.200
It's obvious. The unthinkable continues. Most Americans know something is very, very wrong.
00:15:07.380
The people in charge keep telling you that everything's fine and to stop noticing. But
00:15:11.500
you know better. That's why self-reliant folks are investing in emergency food storage.

00:16:13.780
Okay, I've got Kelly and Davis. Kelly and Davis, that sounds, I think that's the, I think that's
00:16:22.180
what Red, with Danny Kaye and Bing Crosby on A White Christmas. I think their act was, was
00:16:29.020
Kelly and Davis or something like that. Mike, Julie, just, let's go to this report. I think
00:16:36.640
you put it out. By the way, Mershon did unconditional release. We knew he was going to do, he was pressured
00:16:42.520
to do that, but he wanted to be cute. He says, I don't know. Maybe we give him some prison time.
00:16:45.920
Maybe send him over to Rikers for a while. That was before, not today. Today is very straightforward.
00:16:50.440
President Trump made a very, a very, I think, brilliant assessment. Our own David Zier from
00:16:57.360
Real America's Voice was in the courtroom. David's going to jump out and join us here momentarily
00:17:02.080
as soon as he can get out of the courtroom. Julie Kelly, tell me about, I mean, this thing's
00:17:06.760
so conflicted. The daughter's making money hand over fist and getting bigger donations and getting,
00:17:11.580
or bigger participations and bigger, bigger gigs as her, as her father drops the hammer
00:17:18.320
more on, on Trump. They were incentivized. They were incentivized to basically break the
00:17:23.180
law against president Trump because they were making more money. Am I too far off base on
00:17:29.240
Oh no. Lauren Mershon, who is the daughter of one Mershon owns a, is co-owner of a company
00:17:35.420
called Authentic Campaigns. Her co-owner, Mike, I forgot his last name, was the head of
00:17:43.720
White Dudes for Harris. Her website, which I posted earlier today, bragged that one of
00:17:50.920
their clients was the Biden campaign. It was the Harris-Waltz campaign. She worked for Kamala
00:17:57.340
Harris during Kamala Harris's 2020 primary. In the interim, she has collected and retained
00:18:05.680
top Democrats, including those who are running for re-election for the Senate and running for
00:18:12.440
the Senate this past cycle. Adam Schiff has probably paid her upwards of $8 million.
00:18:19.080
Here are just a few of the bigger disbursements that Authentic Campaigns has received
00:18:24.180
leading up to the election. Tammy Baldwin for Senate, of course, running for re-election
00:18:30.180
in Wisconsin, which she pretended to win. I guess they stole it there. $247,000 paid to
00:18:39.240
Lauren Mershon's firm October 28th of 2024. $80,000 November 4th for digital acquisition
00:18:48.520
advertising. Again, Tammy Baldwin. I mean, the number of six-figure checks that Lauren Mershon's
00:18:56.520
firm has received, Montana's protester, October 2024, $60,000. Arizona Democratic Party paid her
00:19:06.580
$40,000 in October 2024. Tammy Baldwin, again in October, another $148,000 check to Lauren Mershon's
00:19:17.520
firm. Fight Lake Hellpack, which is Gretchen Whitmer's firm. Don't know what she's buying.
00:19:23.960
She was not up for re-election. $187,000 September of 2024. The list goes on. But Steve, I'm going to
00:19:33.420
be totaling this up as of May of 2024, when President Trump was convicted, how much money
00:19:41.140
Lauren Mershon has raced in as her father does her dirty work in the Democratic Party so she can
00:19:48.980
enrich herself and presumably her family. She's like a mini Hunter Biden.
00:19:53.960
Mike, given these facts, how could the Supreme Court, because now it's not just President Trump,
00:20:02.100
and all they're trying to do is smear him. He can't. The power he's got today from his own efforts,
00:20:09.360
his own moral courage, and the war room posse having his back is unprecedented in modern political
00:20:14.360
history. But doesn't the Supreme Court understand what they've basically validated or positively
00:20:22.360
sanctioned as a normal course of business, sir? Yeah. Apparently, with the Supreme Court,
00:20:30.040
a president is immune from criminal prosecution, but he's not immune from criminal sentencing 10 days
00:20:38.020
before he becomes the president of the United States. I really think the Chief Justice and
00:20:44.760
Justice Amy Coney Barrett thought they were being cute and political here, and all they've done is
00:20:52.060
created a disaster. They've created a lot of anger in America. You're seeing the outrage right now online,
00:21:00.120
and the Chief Justice thinks it's his job to protect the legitimacy of the Supreme Court,
00:21:05.940
and I think he caused a lot of damage to the Supreme Court's legitimacy by his cute political
00:21:12.820
little ruling. I would say to Justice Amy Coney Barrett, it's time for you to get your head out of your ass.
00:21:21.380
You are a rattled law professor, and you're embarrassing yourself.
00:21:26.020
I know you have too much class to say this, Mike, but she's got to go. She's got to step down,
00:21:32.980
but we'll get to war room, focus on that. I just want to make sure of the argument. Didn't she say,
00:21:40.620
in her opinion, or part of the thing that, well, Marshawn said he's not going to send him to prison,
00:21:44.360
so he's going to be released unconditionally. Wasn't that what they leaned on? But that's kind of
00:21:49.980
irrelevant, isn't it? Because Marshawn could have changed his mind at the last second,
00:21:53.000
but it's still the symbolic nature of this, correct?
00:21:57.460
That's exactly right. It's presidential immunity. Julie was talking about this. The smartest non-lawyer
00:22:03.840
I know, smartest lawyer, non-lawyer I know is Julie Kelly. She said that when you assert immunity,
00:22:10.360
the case has to stop, right? And that includes, obviously, criminal sentencing. If you are immune
00:22:16.920
from criminal prosecution, you can't be criminally sentenced, unless it's Amy Coney Barrett and she's
00:22:25.820
at home knitting or whatever the hell she does late at night. She can't get her head out of her ass
00:22:30.440
and understand that criminal sentencing is the worst part of criminal prosecution. So if you're immune
00:22:36.920
from criminal prosecution, you're obviously immune from criminal sentencing. But we put a
00:22:43.540
15-part test that some wackadoodle like Justice Kennedy would be proud of last night that, oh,
00:22:50.720
it's okay because we're all trashed Marxist judge. We import it from the Cali cartel in Columbia.
00:23:01.040
We're going to trust that he's going to do the right thing tomorrow.
00:23:03.280
Julie Kelly, any update on the whole Jack Smith fiasco on the, so here's what they're trying to
00:23:12.700
do. Understanding that we're now into the run-up for game day, right? And game day, I'm telling you,
00:23:19.420
we're going to do our coverage of the majesty of the ceremony and the event, but we've got all
00:23:26.400
kind of planned out how to follow the action because at high noon, it's going to be action,
00:23:31.380
action, action. President Trump is going to fire off the football here with the entire team.
00:23:36.200
This is one of the reasons we've got to get these confirmations, more of these confirmations done.
00:23:39.700
But what they're trying to do with Marchand here, oh, he's a convicted felon now. You're just going
00:23:44.900
to see that all the time now in the New York Times and MSNBC to try to put that in people's minds.
00:23:50.680
But also this Jack Smith, they are trying to do backflow. So they've already been ordered to stand
00:23:54.780
down to get out the report, another bias, hack thing. And Jack Smith's going to be under
00:23:59.400
investigation. Esmarchand's going to be under investigation. Bragg's going to be under
00:24:03.260
investigation. This is all going to, this all falls under the vast criminal conspiracy to stop
00:24:08.860
Trump, of which the American people rendered a verdict and said, hey, we want Trump. So now we're
00:24:14.240
going to go on the offense here, but they're going to try to do everything possible to put as many
00:24:18.900
markers out there. Give me an update on the Jack Smith fiasco.
00:24:22.140
So despite a court docket in Florida that has more than 700 entries, despite wall-to-wall
00:24:30.880
coverage of the J-6 case proceeding in Washington, despite an 845-page report issued by the January
00:24:40.280
6th Select Committee, and just non-stop coverage of President Trump January 6th now for four years,
00:24:47.280
Jack Smith has authored a report, which special counsels can do at the conclusion of their work
00:24:55.260
and submit it to the Attorney General. Apparently he has written a report, two volumes, volume one
00:25:01.760
dealing with the J-6 case that has been dismissed, and the volume two, the classified documents case
00:25:08.680
in Florida, which also has been dropped against the President, but not his two co-defendants. Well,
00:25:13.900
the two co-defendants in that case filed an immediate of seeking an injunction from Jack Smith releasing
00:25:21.980
that report because there's still ongoing litigation there. Judge Cannon issued an immediate order
00:25:27.780
preventing Jack Smith and the Department of Justice from sharing that draft report, which was given to
00:25:34.740
Merrick Garland on Tuesday, sharing that report outside of the department. Well, Jack Smith and DOJ went crazy
00:25:41.620
and went to the appellate court, of course, asking them to reverse Judge Cannon and asking them not to
00:25:49.720
permit them to release this report. Last night, the 11th Circuit appellate court did deny the
00:25:57.740
co-defendants, so basically Trump sighed, denied their motion seeking to prevent the release of this report.
00:26:07.060
However, Judge Cannon's order still is in effect for three more days. Well, what happens today?
00:26:12.900
Yeah, but my point is, hang on, hang on, hang on, but hang on, hang on. It's, Judge Cannon's got it in
00:26:19.140
there, but Sunday night, and that's how you drive the news cycle, you, Sunday night at midnight, it goes
00:26:26.180
away. So at, what, 12.01 in the morning AM, they can release it to the news media to make it put it on the
00:26:33.860
front page of the New York Times and have it lead CNN and MSNBC. Unless something else happens, that will, I mean,
00:26:40.940
they'll give it to Jamie Raskin, but Jamie Raskin is going to get, take the biggest things and give it right to the
00:26:45.400
New York Times. So this, what you're telling me, unless I'm, I don't understand this, is that Monday morning, people
00:26:52.200
should be looking for this. On Friday, to drive the news cycle over the weekend, it's going to, he's a
00:26:57.100
convicted felon, right? And now, on Monday, they're going to come back with, oh, he should be, he should
00:27:02.300
have been convicted on all this stuff because he's an insurrectionist. That, I mean, that's, that's their
00:27:06.780
two-gun approach here, right? This is not random events, folks. This is not randomly happening. Garland
00:27:12.800
didn't think about doing this around this. Absolutely, hang on, Julie Kelly, Mike Davis, hang on for a
00:27:18.980
second. Joe Hoff's going to join us. Hopefully, we're going to get down to Texas. We get, if that
00:27:23.540
website's working, we're going to go to Texas about the speakers race. We got all kind of geopolitics,
00:27:28.940
capital markets, but hey, this is what we got to spend our time on. They're coming after Trump.
00:27:36.620
Anybody who thinks this thing's over, and anybody who thinks that they believe that what's going to
00:27:42.000
happen on the 20th of January noon means anything to them, it does not. They're going to be actually
00:27:48.040
Mormon. Look how rabid they are. These are like rabid dogs. They're like rabid dogs.
00:27:53.960
What happened in New York today is what rabid dogs do. Jack Smith's a rabid dog. And metaphorically,
00:28:01.120
what do you do with rabid dogs? You lay them down. Well, that's what we're going to do in this
00:28:04.620
investigation, a vast criminal conspiracy against President Trump.
00:28:11.380
I want to warn you of a huge change that could be coming to our money in our bank accounts. First,
00:28:17.300
think back to 9-11, shortly after the government pushed through the Patriot Act.
00:28:21.480
This gave the government power to spy on innocent Americans by monitoring our phone and email and
00:28:27.020
tracking our movement across the internet. Now, Jim Rickards, editor of the independent financial
00:28:32.560
newsletter Strategic Intelligence and New York Times bestselling author, is warning about a coming
00:28:38.160
event that could elevate this governmental surveillance to a terrifying new level. In fact,
00:28:43.580
some of the guests I've had on The War Room believe that the government will soon expand their
00:28:47.960
powers to track our every move. If we say the wrong things on social media, donate to the wrong causes,
00:28:55.060
buy firearms, or even vote MAGA, the government may be able to shut us out of our bank accounts.
00:29:01.440
I can't say for sure if this will happen, but it's an interesting and dire warning. Fortunately,
00:29:07.460
Jim Rickards, an American patriot and friend of mine, has made it his mission to educate us on
00:29:12.240
what he believes is coming and how to protect yourself from the possibility of programmable
00:29:18.700
money. Watch Jim's warning video now before it's censored like I've been in the past.
00:29:25.080
Go to RickardsWarRoom.com. That's RickardsWarRoom.com now to see the video.
00:29:36.700
Julie, I know you've got to bounce. Any summary thoughts before you go?
00:29:41.540
There's still a lot of moving parts, I think, today happening in Florida related to the report,
00:29:45.840
so more emotions being filed, so I will keep an eye on that and hopefully be back tonight on War Room.
00:29:52.100
Yeah. We'll see you back tonight. Julie's also going to hit the Benny Johnson show,
00:29:58.040
so if any of you want to catch that, be up with the great Benny Johnson.
00:30:04.920
I don't make up beautiful like Mike Davis. I'm sorry.
00:30:09.900
This is like Broadway Danny Rose, where they make the star and the star moves on to a bigger,
00:30:16.740
better deal. She's BBDing me, bigger, better deal. Thank you, Julie.
00:30:23.100
By the way, to my producer, make sure you cancel all Julie Kellys.
00:30:28.960
Mike Davis, you know, from the engine room of the War Room, you know, we have the guys in the engine room.
00:30:36.380
I've been talking about the collapse of complex systems.
00:30:38.580
This is Darren Beattie's theory of the case, which is brilliant,
00:30:41.360
that when you say we're getting like a third world country,
00:30:44.560
Beattie actually took that because he's a genius about six months ago
00:30:47.680
and did this whole theory of the case about the collapse of complex systems,
00:30:51.420
starting with our airspace, you know, the problems we had with air traffic controls.
00:30:54.900
You can see it in Pacific Palisades and what's happening there.
00:31:05.740
that is what's going to take the United States back to the third world.
00:31:09.160
You're seeing this actually in the judicial system.
00:31:15.640
And what infuriates me is that the guardians of this, right,
00:31:21.740
the guardians of this should be the Supreme Court of the United States.
00:31:24.880
That's why the Supreme Court's always been held in such high esteem and revered.
00:31:28.860
Here, they're as big a part of the problem as these third world gangsters in New York City, sir.
00:31:36.480
Yeah, that's the problem, is they're weak, right?
00:31:41.420
President Trump's biggest and most consequential accomplishment of his first term
00:31:45.360
was the transformation of the Supreme Court and the lower federal courts.
00:31:50.780
And it's a hell of a lot better than it would have been under Hillary Clinton
00:31:53.940
if she got to replace justically on the Supreme Court instead of President Trump.
00:31:59.700
But I'll tell you this, it's on these key cases like this
00:32:03.520
where these justices think that they can be political and cute,
00:32:08.520
that they cause grave damage to the court's legitimacy.
00:32:13.220
And the chief justice is the most culpable of this.
00:32:16.520
When we were on the Supreme Court, we called this being chiefy,
00:32:20.080
meaning you do these little—he's conservative for sure.
00:32:22.480
People think he's liberal. He's not. He's conservative.
00:32:24.280
But he plays these little political games where he tries to throw a bone to the left
00:32:30.380
and split the baby, and now he has this rattled law professor with her head up her ass,
00:32:36.660
Justice Amy Coney Barrett, going along with this.
00:32:39.780
And all it does is when he thinks he's depoliticizing the court,
00:32:43.340
he's actually making it more political and therefore making it lose its legitimacy.
00:32:47.900
The Republicans, you've already seen online, a lot of Republicans just want to move on.
00:32:56.260
We're not moving on from this. We're not going to move on from this.
00:32:58.600
This is what the world is built for. We're not moving on from this.
00:33:01.000
And here's why we're not going to move on for it, Mike,
00:33:03.160
because they're going to want to move on, and then they're going to be in President Trump's theater.
00:33:06.640
They're going to get all over him, the bill bar, that whole Republican establishment legal crowd,
00:33:11.920
and the National Review, all the geniuses over there.
00:33:14.820
And they're not going to want to go after the vast criminal conspiracy that got us here.
00:33:22.200
This is not about Trump. It's not about Navarre, not about Bannon, not about Tom Barrack.
00:33:27.960
This is about what they did, and we have to sort this.
00:33:30.360
It's not going to stop until you force it and make it to stop.
00:33:34.600
This is the problem. This is why the Republican Party and Fox News are controlled opposition.
00:33:39.180
We didn't get into this position because people fought the entire way.
00:33:43.340
They surrendered the entire time because it's easier.
00:33:46.700
Roberts knows that. He goes to the cocktail parties, and they then get stink-eye.
00:33:50.980
If you're not getting stink-eye, you're not doing your job.
00:33:54.320
If you're getting invited to cocktail parties, you're not doing your job.
00:33:59.280
This is also, I want to give a shot to everybody coming this week,
00:34:01.360
and I realize people want to celebrate, commemorate.
00:34:03.240
Hey, we've got to be on the ramparts and ready to go to work here.
00:34:06.680
The 20th of January is 10 days away, and if we don't hit it with muzzle velocity,
00:34:10.520
I mean, bang, bang, bang, the apparatus and the media apparatus is going to grind us to a halt.
00:34:18.860
Mike, you're seeing their surrender already in this because they're already saying,
00:34:22.040
oh, Trump, it doesn't mean anything, let's move on.
00:34:25.960
If you move on from this, you're agreeing with it.
00:34:29.060
If you don't fight it and take it out root and branch,
00:34:32.600
and yes, it's hard, and it's nasty, and we'd rather spend our time doing other things, right?
00:34:37.800
I mean, Mike Davis was the confirmation czar in the first Trump term.
00:34:41.880
That's why we got, and he's too humble to tell you,
00:34:45.300
but the work not just for Gorsuch and Kavanaugh,
00:34:48.220
but I mean the work for these other federal judges is hard work.
00:34:51.480
It's pick-and-shovel work, but we've got to do this, Mike.
00:34:57.300
Let me just say this to the Republican legal establishments.
00:35:04.120
We're not putting in FedSoc, cuck lawyers in the Justice Department.
00:35:09.320
We're putting in people like Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche and Emil Bove and John Sauer
00:35:16.700
and Harmeet Dillon and Gail Slater and so many other savages who are going to go in there,
00:35:23.100
and they're going to clean up that rat's nest along with Cash Patel at the FBI.
00:35:31.280
We turned the other cheek after a crossfire hurricane,
00:35:34.580
after Obama and Biden and Hillary ran the biggest corruption ever
00:35:41.080
by politicizing and weaponizing our intel agencies and law enforcement to go after President Trump.
00:35:49.720
We're not putting in wimps in the Justice Department.
00:35:57.120
The difference is that the Article III project was not around in 2017 at the beginning of the first Trump administration.
00:36:05.600
We would not have made the mistakes we made if we had the Article III project back then.
00:36:10.660
And I'm going to make damn sure those mistakes are not made this time.
00:36:14.980
And we're not going to have FedSoc, cucks, turning the other cheek.
00:36:18.080
Let me – before I go to – before I let you go, I want to turn – confirmations.
00:36:24.860
I'm going to get more into this later because I've got Zier and I've got Alan – Colonel West.
00:36:38.480
You need to contact – you need to contact your Senate's office today.
00:36:43.020
You need to tell them, hey, we've got the hairy eyeball on you and we want these things to move.
00:36:47.000
We want to move quickly, fairly, do whatever you've got to do.
00:36:51.580
We want to get to these committee votes quickly and then get them to the floor.
00:36:57.440
Trump needs his team, and he needs his team as close to the 20th of January as possible.
00:37:04.660
I know you guys are working with us shoulder to shoulder on this.
00:37:08.140
Look, the Article III project has the best team in America to handle Republican confirmations.
00:37:16.300
There are eight of us who've worked on these confirmations.
00:37:18.500
The hardest battles, including the Kavanaugh fight, and we're ready to go.
00:37:24.040
Remember when President Trump picked Kash Patel and Pete Hegseth and Tulsi Gabbard, the very smart people, including all the establishment Republicans in D.C., said those nominations are dead on arrival.
00:37:36.860
And then the Article III project teamed up with the War Room Posse, the most powerful coalition out there.
00:37:44.860
And in three days after we lit up their phone lines, burned down their phone lines, and blew up their emails, they went from dead on arrival to three days later, when can they start?
00:37:58.580
This is going to be a slug every day for the next four years.
00:38:02.720
The establishment is going to try to knife Trump every chance they can.
00:38:06.900
We're going to keep our eyes on them, and we're going to be ahead of them.
00:38:10.840
We're going to be putting them on defense instead of us being on defense.
00:38:14.680
So go to article3project.org, War Room Posse, go there, and take action.
00:38:21.280
Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, Kash Patel, those are the big fights right now.
00:38:28.560
These are the big fights, and remember, these are the showtime fights, but let's go back.
00:38:33.260
We get 4,000 folks, 3,000 and hit the beach running with a security clearance.
00:38:37.440
The other 1,000, 1,000 have got to be confirmed by the Senate.
00:38:42.280
If you take the department heads, it's those second, it's the undersecretaries, those deputies, those assistants, all have to be confirmed.
00:38:56.520
But then you need the guys, men and women, right underneath that.
00:39:17.760
On that point, they waited 18 months to confirm President Trump's Justice Department officials last time because of the bogus Russian collusion hoax, Crossfire Hurricane.
00:39:27.240
Again, there must be severe legal, political, and financial consequences for Crossfire Hurricane and the resulting criminal indictments of Trump and the fraud case where they tried to bankrupt him, where they tried to kill him by underfunding his Secret Service protection, by taking him off the ballot.
00:39:45.840
We're going to fight every day from the Article 3 Project to make damn sure justice is coming.
00:39:51.060
And it's Article3Project.org, Article3Project.org.
00:40:18.400
Bill Blaster has all these components to it, too.
00:40:20.740
Grace will push that out into the chat rooms, go to the Article 3 Project.
00:40:33.600
We need you at the ramparts, manning the ramparts this morning.
00:40:41.880
It's very easy to say, well, you know, we've got so much to do.
00:40:49.100
The way that Trump came back and had the sweeping victory is the fact that you, this audience,
00:40:56.220
And when digging in, you act as kind of a fulcrum.
00:40:59.680
You act as a rally point for others that may be not so committed or, quite frankly, may be afraid.
00:41:04.520
So, this fight, and I'm just warning everybody, because I've seen a lot of people, you know,
00:41:09.720
look, part of the run-up to the, you know, to the inauguration is obviously commemorations and balls and everything.
00:41:19.180
And we're actually going to be doing some of that, and we're going to get the war and posse that are around the area to come and join us on a couple of things we're going to try to do.
00:41:27.980
But right now, it should be 20, it should be 36 hours a day hammering on this.
00:41:40.880
And you have to hit, as Bartley said, it's got to have muzzle velocity.
00:41:45.120
I think President Trump's talking about 100 executive orders.
00:41:47.900
Stephen Miller briefed the Senate with Trump, was it yesterday, two days ago, on 100 executive orders.
00:41:53.540
Now, I don't happen to think they're going to get all of those through, as we told you, the process, OLC.
00:42:00.220
They'll be enough to keep you occupied on that day, and they'll be in very different areas.
00:42:05.880
But the concentration will be on the border and on deportations and on immigration.
00:42:12.140
And I think you're going to see Homan in action.
00:42:26.440
I want to tell your senator, hey, I don't want to hear it.
00:42:29.860
I don't care if you've got to work over the weekend.
00:42:32.500
We need, at the committee level, we need these hearings.
00:42:38.740
Then you've got to vote quickly on the committee.
00:42:51.340
And you see, if you ease up for a second, if you ease up for a second, you see exactly what's going to happen.
00:42:58.360
And that's what's happening in New York with this bogus situation.
00:43:00.500
Now, President Trump doesn't have any penalty on this.
00:43:17.440
Sixth free installment, modern monetary theory.

Okay, the intrepid David Zier joins us from lower Manhattan.
00:45:07.840
David, Real America's Voice investigative reporter in New York City, was in the courtroom.
00:45:15.520
It's a day of infamy in New York City, the great New York City.
00:45:18.900
How far it's fallen to kind of third world banana republic justice.
00:45:32.200
They let a few dozen media outlets in the main courtroom.
00:45:40.060
And then the prosecution goes on a tear against Donald Trump, saying that he caused irreparable
00:45:46.300
damage to the criminal justice system, to paraphrase, and that Trump entered into, you know, false
00:45:53.900
attacks, that this was a sham and a witch hunt, and engaged in dangerous rhetoric and threatened
00:46:02.600
And again, they're saying the criminal justice system was put, and the court was put, in harm's
00:46:10.380
But then they called for the unconditional discharge, the most vital solution to ensure
00:46:15.660
finality and allow defendants to pursue the presidency.
00:46:19.560
The public interest would not be served by imprisonment.
00:46:22.840
And then Blanche responded, and of course he disagreed with that assessment, saying many
00:46:26.980
legal experts say this case never should have been brought forth.
00:46:30.300
And the American people agreed by the results of the election.
00:46:34.540
But Mershon bent on giving Trump that scarlet letter, F for felon, right?
00:46:40.240
He wound up saying, in the end, you know, this was the toughest decision I ever had to make.
00:46:45.620
And the sentencing part is always the toughest part.
00:46:49.760
Trump was allowed to respond via video from Florida.
00:46:53.320
And he said, this is a terrible experience and a setback for New Yorkers.
00:46:57.300
This was a case Bragg didn't want to bring originally.
00:47:10.240
When Trump was speaking, the keyboards were blazing away in there by the leftist media around
00:47:16.040
And they were laughing and snickering as Trump was making, you know, his comments.
00:47:23.200
And Trump said, listen, American cities are burning to the ground.
00:47:27.160
And I just wanted to add, you know, New York City, for the first week of January of 2025,
00:47:34.740
murders were up 50 percent over the first week of January 2024.
00:47:40.500
And the 77,000 New Yorkers have been victims of felony and misdemeanor assault over the last
00:47:51.280
I had to cross under the cameras, you know, to get into the city today.
00:47:55.240
People are being forced onto the subway where they're being beaten.
00:47:58.860
Even congestion price advocates were beaten at the 23rd Street station in Chelsea the other
00:48:08.320
And valuable resources are being diverted by stuff like this instead of towards the real
00:48:17.160
The reason the city, because it's the greatest city in the world, the reason the city is a
00:48:41.940
While a lot of violent crimes are not, you know, prosecuted in New York City, you've got
00:48:48.460
corruption in the New York City Police Department.
00:48:53.200
The police force is almost half of what it was under Bernie Kerik and Giuliani.
00:49:00.280
And then the New York City Council's up there celebrating, oh, crime was down 5% for murders
00:49:06.320
But they forgot to mention that rapes are up 20% for the year.
00:49:15.820
And people are still getting thrown on the tracks.
00:49:21.000
And the quality of life in New York is abysmal.
00:49:26.620
David, where do people go to get your, it's a black day, black mark on New York City today
00:49:33.820
Where do people go to find you on Real America's Voice in your social media?
00:49:50.760
Thank you for getting down there today in the freezing cold.
00:49:53.420
And it should be noted that when they let media in there, they let David Zier, Real America's Voice,
00:49:58.420
because Real America's Voice has been on this from the beginning.
00:50:06.820

00:50:21.840
Also, we're going to talk about President Trump.
00:50:23.660
President Trump has started the negotiations on Ukraine because he's talking about Greenland.
00:50:29.740
It is a brilliant strategic gambit to actually make Fortress America, or the Monroe Doctrine 2.0,
00:50:40.180
Talking about all the way from the Panama Canal to Greenland.
00:50:44.840
It's an opening gambit in a quite complicated Ukraine situation.

all the different groups we kind of bind together here with news and information about what you guys are working on.
00:51:16.440
What we can't afford to have happen is something happened that's an unforced error about yourself

00:51:25.660
