who's basically saying, I am the law, I'm above the law.
00:00:05.520
Yeah, Napoleon Bonaparte, of course, declared himself emperor of France in the wake of a
00:00:14.560
revolution intimately linked with ours. Sorry, Caddy, I know this is a rough day for you,
00:00:20.960
given 1776 through the... Caddy actually has a... On Yorktown, she wears black,
00:00:28.100
the anniversary. But the point of the United States of America, as Thomas Bain said,
00:00:36.040
is that in America, the law would be king. Now, I am not going to naively or sentimentally sit here
00:00:42.920
and say that no American president in history has ever gone beyond the bounds of the Constitution
00:00:49.400
in order to govern. They have always followed the letter of the law. That is not true, right?
00:00:54.420
Right. Thomas Jefferson bought Louisiana from Napoleon, by the way, calling it a fugitive
00:01:02.880
occurrence. It was not strictly within the bounds of the law. If Alexander Hamilton had tried to do it,
00:01:09.980
Jefferson, his head would have exploded. But people tend to be against executive power until
00:01:16.300
they have it, which is an important thing to remember. This is about context, balance, and scope.
00:01:27.200
Did Abraham Lincoln go beyond the bounds of the Constitution to save the Constitution? Yes.
00:01:33.020
I just ask you, and I ask the country to think about, is this a crisis on the scale of the Civil War?
00:01:47.360
Is when President Trump came in to... Now, it's emerging as a very important, critically important
00:01:54.340
moment about the rule of law. But it begins with President Trump telling us, essentially, that the
00:02:03.080
country is in the... I'm paraphrasing, but only narrowly, is in the grip of a dark and even evil force,
00:02:13.800
and that he alone is going to break that grip. And therefore, enter Napoleon from the internet,
00:02:21.760
therefore, anyone who saves the country and breaks that grip is intrinsically heroic.
00:02:31.200
And the danger we have here is that if, in fact, President Trump believes that anything he does
00:02:42.840
is justified, then we are in a place where we genuinely have not been before.
00:02:50.460
Having presidents who have violated the letter and even, at times, the spirit of the Constitution,
00:02:57.760
the Declaration, is something we have had before. Sometimes we view it well, which I think
00:03:04.780
Lincoln ultimately is redeemed by saving the Union, by suspending... You know, when he suspended
00:03:09.520
habeas corpus, shouldn't have done it ideally, did it, Union survives. We still go to the
00:03:15.500
Lincoln Memorial. But some of the darks, some of the dark chapters that presidents then have to endure
00:03:22.880
for all of history, the internment of the Japanese Americans during World War II, is something that
00:03:31.380
Franklin Roosevelt's administration always has to bear. And that was a violation of the spirit of the
00:03:39.280
declaration in the Constitution. To me, that's the question. Is, are we doing things? Is President
00:03:47.680
Trump doing something that, if it's in a particularly vociferous way, is it justified by the circumstances,
00:04:01.940
This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on
00:04:10.200
these people. I got a free shot, all these networks lying about the people. The people have had a belly
00:04:17.280
full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything in the world to stop
00:04:21.200
that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen. And where do people like that go to share
00:04:25.540
the big line? MAGA media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:04:33.760
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country,
00:04:40.700
this country will be saved. War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:04:50.980
It's Monday, 17 February, in the year of our Lord, 2025. It's President's Day.
00:04:55.540
And Meacham, once again, is a very confused guy. Hates Trump so much. He's very, very corn-fused.
00:05:03.620
It's President's Day. And throughout the day, we will be going through President Trump,
00:05:08.420
the 47th President of the United States, taking on the administrative state in the deep state as
00:05:14.280
he tries to save his country. This controversy came with President Trump put up on True Social.
00:05:18.140
He who, a quote from Napoleon, or maybe it's apocryphal, he who saves his country breaks no laws.
00:05:26.140
That was tied to Napoleon coming back from Egypt when he returned and then joined, I guess,
00:05:33.380
the triumvirate running Paris at the time. He said, I found the crown of France in the gutters of the
00:05:43.480
streets of Paris, and all I need to do is take my saber and pick it up. He was talking about the
00:05:48.400
lack of really political control as the revolution grinded on. I might want to mention to Meacham
00:05:55.620
and his talk about the founders. Nobody talks about this episode, but Alexander Hamilton,
00:06:02.060
the Federalists, not only, they weren't for a standing guard, but they wanted a huge army at one
00:06:06.220
point in time to put down, I think it was the Whiskey Rebellion, and basically get taxes.
00:06:13.360
They brought Washington back to command the army in Adams' first term, Adams' only term.
00:06:20.520
I think it was in 1798, and it was a Hamilton scheme. Hamilton made himself a major general in
00:06:26.020
the army, and this is going to be a huge effort to go, I think, put down the Whiskey Rebellion
00:06:30.560
and to make sure I was in western Pennsylvania and get the tax revenue. Whiskey Rebellion,
00:06:34.980
I believe it was, kind of cratered. I'm doing this from memory. But Alexander Hamilton,
00:06:40.140
these guys would break the law all the time if it was to their benefit. You just got to understand
00:06:44.980
the foundation of the country. Hey, it was very dicey there for a number of years in the founding
00:06:50.180
of the republic, very dicey. In fact, and they all hated each other, hated each other. He's got so much
00:06:56.000
that Burr later essentially executed Hamilton in a duel. Jefferson had Burr tried for treason in a
00:07:08.240
plot with General Montgomery to maybe carve off Texas and build her own empire. Adams and Jefferson
00:07:14.200
hated each other. And they all hated Hamilton, who hated them all back. Washington was kind of above
00:07:21.100
the fray. But no, come on. What President Trump is doing here is trying to take on an administrative
00:07:25.840
state. You see how hard it is. Can't even get a corrected camera number. Anyway, we're gonna get
00:07:29.600
it all into it. We're gonna do the courts. We're gonna do Ukraine. There's like five meetings going
00:07:34.100
on. General Kellogg didn't make the planes. Zelensky's not invited. But I want to start to have
00:07:39.940
Julie Kelly. Julie Kelly joins us by phone. And Mike Davis going to a minute. So I got I got the
00:07:46.320
McCarthy. I got the McCarthy series of seven of Andrew McCarthy just going off viciously. This
00:07:53.360
the National Review crowd. You can never satisfy these guys, these wimps who have done who essentially
00:07:58.960
lost the country and allowed the deep state to run the deal. Right. And kind of went along. The
00:08:04.340
controlled opposition has now got their backup. Also, there's a big hearing at 11 o'clock this
00:08:08.880
morning. As President Trump, I guess, is also going to the Supreme Court. Mike Davis is here on
00:08:13.640
the legal front. It's guns up and everybody's shooting at everybody. Julie, make it make sense
00:08:19.900
for me. Well, first, let's address Andrew McCarthy, who is the legal analyst for National Review and
00:08:28.340
Fox News, who announced over the weekend he would be publishing a seven article series criticizing
00:08:34.980
Attorney General Kayon Bondi and her DOJ and attempts to depoliticize the Department of Justice.
00:08:42.860
Now, this is consistent with the president's executive order that he issued on day one to root out the
00:08:50.800
political weaponization of the country's most powerful law enforcement organization. A institution,
00:08:57.920
by the way, that has historically low public trust numbers, especially among Republicans.
00:09:05.800
Of course, the repudiation of the lawfare against the president, his advisors, like you, and almost
00:09:13.120
1,600 of his supporters over January 6th, electing him with a partial repudiation of this lawfare.
00:09:20.100
But leave it to Andrew McCarthy, a former federal prosecutor, hasn't been in the DOJ for a very long
00:09:27.100
time, stepping up now to defend his former, well, the rank and file of his former employer, the DOJ,
00:09:36.860
and attacking Pam Bondi, who has been on the job, I think, 11 days so far. And so this is a series that
00:09:43.520
I will be covering. I posted some of it yesterday. He has a new article out today. I really got to applaud
00:09:49.340
him for his bandwidth and his workhorse ethic here. One long article a day over seven days. That's a lot
00:09:57.220
to produce. So this is where the National Review is going once again back to another Trump route
00:10:04.060
and defending the indefensible Department of Justice.
00:10:10.160
Yeah, exactly when we got to be united. Naturally, those guys are going to come out and, you know,
00:10:15.860
have their say. You want to know about these prosecutors. They're supposed to be so great.
00:10:20.300
Why did they stick around for all the Biden? Why didn't they resign? Where's all their
00:10:23.640
profiles and courage during the weaponization? Crickets. What they did is that they were the
00:10:28.820
henchmen. They were, oh, we were just following orders. No, no, no. It didn't work for the SS.
00:10:33.080
Didn't work for the Gestapo in Germany after the war. Oh, we were just following orders.
00:10:37.460
That's not good enough. As soon as Trump gets in there, boom,
00:10:39.800
they all got it. They're all profiles and courage and lauded by the left-wing media.
00:10:43.320
Talk to me today about the court cases. What's happening at 11? Mike Davis is here. We're going
00:10:48.040
to the Supreme Court. President Trump's forcing, having a forcing function today that could get
00:10:54.060
pretty important about where we're going in all of this. What's happening at 11 with your favorite
00:10:59.020
judge, Julie Kelly? Yeah, so 11 o'clock here, and I will be covering this on X at 11 a.m. Eastern
00:11:06.360
time. This is related to a temporary restraining order, a lawsuit filed by several blue states,
00:11:12.280
including California, Michigan, and Massachusetts, trying to stop Elon Musk and Doge from doing what
00:11:19.580
they're doing, which is exposing to American people for the very first time all of the wasteful,
00:11:26.220
excessive, unaccountable spending that Doge is uncovering, especially at U.S. aid.
00:11:31.740
So these attorneys generals for these blue states are asking Tanya Chukkin to enter a TRO, which,
00:11:39.680
of course, we've seen several D.C. judges already do that related to other lawsuits trying to stop
00:11:46.220
the Trump administration from exercising their, you know, his presidential authority. And so that's
00:11:53.740
at 11 o'clock to see if she will order this temporary restraining order, basically putting a halt to Elon Musk
00:11:59.100
while she considers a preliminary injunction. Now, on a related note, there was a lawsuit filed by
00:12:06.600
Hampton Dellinger, the Biden-appointed head of the Office of Special Counsel. Hampton Dellinger,
00:12:14.660
a buddy of Hunter Biden's, they used to work together at Boyd's Shiller during the whole
00:12:19.580
Burisma scandal. He was appointed to a top spot at DOJ by Joe Biden in 2021, then moved to head of the
00:12:26.900
Office of Special Counsel. Donald Trump fired him on February 7th. He filed a lawsuit a few days later,
00:12:34.600
again, seeking a temporary restraining order. Judge Amy Berman Jackson, one of our other favorites,
00:12:42.080
Trump's beating Judge Obama off-way on the D.C. Circuit, entered that temporary restraining order,
00:12:49.040
forcing Donald Trump to put Hampton Dellinger back into this very powerful, unaccountable post where he
00:12:57.860
can issue, open up investigations into violations of the Hatch Act. Of course, that was a favorite
00:13:04.640
tool during the first Trump administration. And other things that he basically can do on his own.
00:13:12.480
Abram and Jackson ordering Hampton Dellinger back into that office. But the circuit court over the
00:13:21.120
weekend in a split decision, two Democrats, Biden appointees one, Trump appointees Greg Capsis,
00:13:27.720
in a dissenting, and Mike Davis can talk about this as well, he said that that opinion, that order
00:13:35.380
should be appealable. Temporary restraining orders typically are not. But because this clearly
00:13:42.880
violates Donald Trump's authority, presidential authority, Article 2 authority, that Hampton Dellinger
00:13:50.080
should be removed, that that CRO should be vacated. And this is actually a danger that this Democrat
00:13:59.160
appointee poses to the president and his administration. So they filed an application.
00:14:05.380
The solicitor general, the solicitor general for the president, filed emergency application
00:14:10.720
before the Supreme Court. They'll take that up in the next day or so to reverse that.
00:14:17.500
We're a restraining order and allow the president to fire Biden appointee Hampton Dellinger.
00:14:24.660
We got to bounce. What's your social media? You're going to be going live at 11. What's your
00:14:28.200
social media? Where do people get you? Julie underscore Kelly, too.
00:14:31.200
Julie Kelly, we'll have you back on this afternoon to talk about all of it. Julie Kelly.
00:14:38.520
Short break. Davis on the other side. We're going to lay out the battle map of where it's all going
00:14:43.080
in federal courts. I'm still telling them, watch the New York City, watch Manhattan,
00:14:48.620
where evil lurks. Short commercial break. Johnny Conn takes us out with American heart. Mike Davis,
00:14:54.580
it's President's Day 2025. Have you seen the news from economists forecasting a depression? I'm not
00:15:04.140
talking recession. I mean depression by the year 2030. We're in a perfect storm as Social Security
00:15:11.400
and Medicare hit a breaking point with the largest generation hitting retirement. A smaller workforce
00:15:17.700
means a smaller tax base. Pair that with our growing national debt and rising cost of living
00:15:24.240
and you got a problem and I mean a big problem. So what are you going to do now to protect your family

Okay. CPAC, we want everybody there, particularly in the region. If you can get there,
00:16:50.420
ticks are 76, boxcpac.org slash war room. Wednesday, the whole day, we're going to have an amazing,
00:16:57.980
amazing four days to get to know everybody. Have some one-on-one time. We're going to do an incredible,
00:17:04.060
and Grace and Mo and the team have been working on the Force Multiply Academy. We're trying to jam
00:17:09.360
everything. It won't be as crazy jammed as last year. We're going to actually give it some more
00:17:15.360
space to breathe because we have some drill downs we've got to do with the posse. It will be streamed,
00:17:20.360
but to be there in person will be next level. Jack Posobiec is committed through Real America's
00:17:25.120
Voice to do his show live. So we're going to do the war room live on Wednesday from the space.
00:17:31.520
We're going to have the Force Multiplier Academy. Jack Posobiec is going to do it at two.
00:17:37.560
So you're going to get at least three hours of the show, and the show is going to be integrated
00:17:41.220
into the Force Multiplier Academy. So we want to see everybody there, and it'll be a good situation
00:17:48.440
reported where we stand and what's going on and what we need to do to man the ramparts. Second and
00:17:53.700
third tier nominees are coming up. Cash Patel still will come up, so we're still going to have to man
00:17:59.900
the ramparts. I'm going to say a little bit about that in a while, about Bridge Colby, one of the
00:18:06.140
guys, the policy guy over the Pentagon that's been getting a lot of grief behind the scenes,
00:18:11.500
being knifed up a lot behind the scenes. We're going to try to sort things out on that.
00:18:16.400
Really a big fan of his book, Strategic Denial, the Strategy of Denial, and talking about the
00:18:21.660
Chinese Communist Party. I want to do the legal because they hold out in this resistance as they
00:18:31.000
always do, their default position. In fact, John Holman gave the game away the other day. He was
00:18:34.960
on MSNBC. He says, hey, the courts bailed us out in the elections of 2020. His words, not mine.
00:18:40.520
And now they're bailing us out now. So the courts all over the place, and they got these walking to
00:18:48.100
one judge, and the judge rules for the whole country. And I want to get to also, because you're
00:18:55.300
seeing this already in the ranks, the people that can draft off President Trump, that can dine off
00:19:02.040
President Trump's policies, are not really populist nationalists. They're not America First.
00:19:07.400
They're still globalists. They're still established order Republicans. National Review always being the
00:19:13.200
worst. And they've just got a full-on attack by Andy McCarthy. In fact, let's deal with that first
00:19:18.900
in this thing in the Southern District. Mike, you put up some pretty hot talk over the weekend on your
00:19:23.620
Twitter feed about the SDNY. Now, look, the woman Sassoon is a clerk for Scalia. Right, brother? Come on.
00:19:33.100
He picked the best. They got a couple other guys like a war hero in there. This should be the flower
00:19:39.340
of what you've been working for, Davis. The Federalist Society, Mike Davis, you guys have worked for years.
00:19:46.200
You've labored in the vineyard to get quality people like that into justice, as U.S. attorneys
00:19:53.300
and into main justice. Why all of a sudden, why are seven of them, this is worse than the Saturday,
00:19:58.500
I call it the St. Valentine's Day massacre. Why is this actually a positive for President Trump
00:20:07.220
instead of being the overwhelming negative that Andrew McCarthy now says essentially—basically,
00:20:12.200
he's going to write a piece every day. Julie Kelly's going to deconstruct it. But at the end of it,
00:20:17.320
he's going to say Trump should resign because he's already broken the Constitution. He'd just walk
00:20:22.360
away before he gets impeached, sir. So I just published last night a FoxNews.com opinion piece
00:20:30.920
on this very topic where you have this interim U.S. attorney in the U.S. attorney's office for the
00:20:40.380
Southern District of New York who got a civics lesson in how the Constitution works because
00:20:47.620
you had the Attorney General of the United States, Pam Bondi, who works for the President
00:20:53.780
of the United States, Donald Trump, have her acting Deputy Attorney General, Amel Bove, tell the interim
00:21:03.160
U.S. attorney in the Southern District of New York to dismiss without prejudice the bogus corruption
00:21:10.680
charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams. And Bove did not tell the U.S. attorney that these
00:21:19.280
charges were bogus. He simply said that this does not fit within the President and the Attorney General's
00:21:27.340
prosecutorial priorities because the President and the Attorney General wants to work with the New York
00:21:35.300
City Mayor Eric Adams on deporting illegal immigrants the hell out of our country, right? And the point is
00:21:44.460
this, that that's the President's decision. He is duly elected by the American people. He campaigned on
00:21:51.720
the fact that he's going to work with these mayors to deport these illegal immigrants. The American
00:21:57.300
voters, like what they heard on November 5th, they gave him a broad electoral mandate, 312 electoral
00:22:04.360
votes, all seven swing states, and his Senate-confirmed Attorney General is carrying out the President's
00:22:11.940
policy agenda. And to these career bureaucrats in the executive branch, any employee in the executive
00:22:19.320
branch, political or career, they need to understand this, that the President of the United States runs
00:22:26.220
the executive branch, including the Justice Department, including the FBI. And if you don't like
00:22:33.300
the President's policy decisions, too bad. Go run for Congress. If you do not follow the President's
00:22:42.960
policy directives and lawful orders, you are obstructing justice. You are in the way. Who the
00:22:50.780
hell do these career bureaucrats in the Southern District of New York, they think it's the Sovereign
00:22:55.600
District of New York, who do they think they are?
00:22:57.380
I've said for a long time, you got to clean up that rat's nest, but I want to go back. Ideas have
00:23:04.400
consequences. Not a better time to talk about this than in President's Day in the opening of the show.
00:23:10.420
Folks, we try to give you the nomenclature, the ideas, and then you'll see how it rolls through and
00:23:15.520
manifests itself in real life. And this is going to be a clash of the titans on this theory,
00:23:23.680
the theory of a unified executive. And now we're getting down to it, because that's where
00:23:29.540
we're going to the Supreme Court. Walk me back through. You're saying the Constitution
00:23:33.700
says, and we've had this fight before with Cheney, but that was not this fight. This
00:23:38.640
fight's quite different, I think. The unified theory of the executive by the Constitution,
00:23:43.860
Article 2, he's chief executive officer of the United States government. He's commander-in-chief
00:23:49.460
of the Uniformed Military Services, and he's the chief magistrate and chief law enforcement officer
00:23:54.820
of the U.S. government. And that is unified in a thing called the Office of the President
00:24:00.240
that is held by a guy called the President of the United States. Is that correct, Mike?
00:24:05.220
Yeah, and it's only a theory to the leftists who don't like the fact that the President of the
00:24:12.620
United States has the executive power under Article 2 of the Constitution.
00:24:18.540
Hold it. Hold it. Hold it, bro. Hold it. Stop. Hold it. Hang on. Hang on. It's not a theory
00:24:22.080
and just with leftists. Correct me if I'm wrong, but since Watergate, this is the key point of what
00:24:28.060
you've got before Watergate and after Watergate. President Reagan, Bush 41, Bush 43, they all played
00:24:36.340
even part of Trump in 45, and it was the issue that we should have punched at the time. Has it not
00:24:45.180
since Watergate? The whole purpose of Watergate was to hive off the Justice Department hardwired into
00:24:52.440
these House committees and with career prosecutors and main justice and have an independent left-wing
00:25:01.000
radical legal group that ran the deal, and Republicans, including the great Ronald Reagan,
00:25:07.800
complied with this. Did it not, sir? So it's not a theory just of leftists. We've essentially—this
00:25:12.200
is my point about controlled opposition. This is my point. When I say we got in this situation
00:25:16.680
after Republican, Republican, people rang doorbells, gave money. You had all these Republican
00:25:22.100
administrations. We essentially kowtowed to it. Did we not implicitly agree with it, Mike Davis?
00:25:27.300
I never did, but a lot of the cowards in the Fed side crowd did, and we're seeing those cowards.
00:25:35.120
They're finally speaking up. They didn't speak up during four years of unprecedented
00:25:40.060
Republican-ending lawfare against President Trump, his top aide, Steve Bannon, you, and Peter Devaro,
00:25:47.560
who went to prison, his supporters on January 6th who were persecuted, parents who were targeted by the
00:25:53.180
Biden, FBI, Christians who were thrown in prison by the Biden Justice Department. The Fedsoc cucks
00:25:59.720
didn't say a word about this for four years, but all of a sudden they're traumatized because some
00:26:05.680
interim career U.S. attorney in the Southern District of New York doesn't understand she works
00:26:11.800
for the deputy attorney general, who works for the attorney general, who works for the president of
00:26:16.660
the United States, who was elected by the American people. These Fedsoc types are the
00:26:23.460
string orchestra on the Titanic. They want to look majestic while the ship is going down. And I'll
00:26:30.120
tell you this, the Article III project wing of the Republican Party are not going to be the string
00:26:35.680
orchestra. We're not going to look majestic. We're going to be throwing people off the lifeboats.
00:26:40.560
Okay, hang on. This gets to, this is such a good show today. We're getting down to it, baby.
00:26:49.060
Give me a minute. I'm going to hold you through the break, Davis, because we haven't even got to the
00:26:52.160
Supreme Court. The Federal Society has done so much good, right? It helped with the judges. It
00:26:58.800
identified on the second tier of judges that we put out after I took over the campaign. Dom again,
00:27:05.260
the guy said, hey, to convince conservatives to standard stock Republicans, we got to put out a
00:27:09.960
second list. That second list had guys like Gorsuch on it, etc. The Federal Society has done such
00:27:15.580
amazing work for so long. Why now is this kind of a range war between what you call Fedsoc and the
00:27:22.080
Article III, you know, rebels, sir? Well, look at the judges. Look at the judges right now who are,
00:27:30.480
you know, you have a Trump-appointed Fedsoc judge on the D.C. district court who pretends that the
00:27:40.660
president of the United States does not have the power to recall USAID foreign service officers within
00:27:50.140
30 days because this Fedsoc judge on the D.C. circuit thinks that that's going to be inconvenient for
00:27:57.420
these foreign service officers. And so somehow the president does not have that power. And this
00:28:03.000
judge is going to issue a temporary restraining order on President Trump because Judge Carl
00:28:10.680
Nichols doesn't like the fact that President Trump is going to bring these USAID workers home within 30
00:28:17.640
days. That is unacceptable. These are D.C. cowards. Hang on one second. Yeah. Hang on. Hang one second.
00:28:24.260
Mike Davis. Natalie on Zuckerberg. We got Poso and Harnwell on Ukraine exploding there. Multiple
00:28:31.720
negotiations going on in a big controversy about the Catholic Church in the invasion of our nation.
00:28:38.400
All next in the war. We've seen all the headlines, cyber attacks on our power grids, drones in the sky,
00:28:44.220
violent attacks on everyday Americans. The ugly truth is no leader, no system can protect you from
00:28:50.320
everything. And the last thing I want is to be standing in line depending on help that may never
00:28:56.120
come. And when crisis hits, food is always the first casualty. Everyone needs it and panic buying
00:29:03.100
makes things worse. You remember this from the pandemic. That's why I've made sure my family's
00:29:08.040

00:29:54.820
The, we're in conversation with Todd Bensman, breaking news. Bensman, we're going to try to
00:30:00.920
get him on. I think he's traveling. So if I can't get him by phone this afternoon, Mexican Senate,
00:30:04.580
this is a just tweet, Mexican Senate Commission has approved the entry of members of the U.S. Army's
00:30:10.040
7th Special Forces Group airborne into the country starting this week. So we will find out more about
00:30:18.280
that as Todd is all over this, the commencing of the kinetic war against the cartels, which is a
00:30:28.580
war that we should, a kinetic war we should be fighting, not associated with anything else.
00:30:33.600
And we'll get to that a little bit later too, Poso, and then we're going to be up at the top of the
00:30:37.800
hour. So folks, the reason we started today with this is that we give you signal, not noise.
00:30:43.840
I cannot emphasize enough the importance of what is going to transpire over the next couple of days
00:30:51.920
regarding this, this situation. The unified theory of the executive, as we've told you now for months
00:30:58.980
and months and months over a year to walk you through the construct of it is about to play out
00:31:03.700
in a live fire exercise to see where it comes down. Mike Davis, tell me about this. Tell me about who
00:31:09.640
the guy is, what the controversy is. And you've said from the beginning, hey, these first line federal
00:31:15.400
judges, and I might add for full disclosure, Carl Nichols is the one that sent me to prison on a
00:31:20.440
misdemeanor for four months, right? A Trump-sponsored judge who's been a beauty, as Julie Kelly can tell
00:31:29.560
you, probably one of the weakest and worst over there. Talk to me about what's going on. Why is
00:31:36.140
this controversy about the IG? And why did Trump and his crack legal team pick this as the one to
00:31:43.440
expedite and get in front, put on the emergency docket? And how tough are it even to get something
00:31:48.020
heard, sir? Let's talk about Hampton Yeats Dellinger. He is Biden's pick to be special
00:31:57.220
counsel in the U.S. Office of Special Counsel. And he is a politician. He ran for lieutenant governor
00:32:04.500
of North Carolina. He was the Biden assistant attorney general for the Office of Legal Policy. So he helped
00:32:11.780
pick and confirm Biden's radical judges. His father, Walter Dellinger, was Clinton's solicitor
00:32:20.980
general of the United States. This guy is a pure political operative, and he got confirmed on a
00:32:28.580
near party line vote to run this office that's supposed to be this nonpolitical office. They handled the Hatch
00:32:35.980
Act and personnel. Basically, they handle the executive branch personnel decisions related to
00:32:45.000
politics, whether it's the Hatch Act or retaliatory firings or whatever, right? This guy is on a five
00:32:53.160
year term, but he reports to the president of the United States, just like every other official in the
00:33:00.720
executive branch. And of course, why would President Trump want this Democrat operative from the Biden
00:33:07.600
administration, this former Democrat lieutenant gubernatorial candidate, North Carolina, to be his
00:33:14.280
special counsel? He wouldn't. Anyone with a brain would not want that. So President Trump correctly
00:33:20.240
fired this guy. And you have a D.C. judge who has told President Trump that he can't,
00:33:29.180
not only can he not fire this guy, this judge purported to reinstate Dellinger into his shop,
00:33:36.400
right? And so, of course, the Trump Justice Department sought an appeal in the D.C. Circuit
00:33:44.520
saying, hey, you can't do this. This violates Article II of the Constitution. You can't force
00:33:51.200
an employee who's fired back onto the president of the United States if this Dellinger thinks he was
00:33:57.440
improperly fired. There's other recourse. He can seek monetary damages, for example. But here's the
00:34:04.160
quote from the Trump Justice Department's emergency motion to the Supreme Court yesterday. Quotes,
00:34:12.340
this court should not allow lower courts to seize executive power by dictating to the president how
00:34:20.540
long he must continue employing an agency head against his will. And that is exactly right.
00:34:27.480
This is a direct assault on the presidency. This is a direct assault on Article II of the Constitution.
00:34:35.500
This is judicial sabotage by these activist judges who think they are the resistance after the American
00:34:43.020
people elected President Trump in a landslide. And the American people elected a Senate majority in the
00:34:50.480
American people elected a House Republican majority. You have these activist judges who think it's their
00:34:58.040
job to take off their judicial robes and climb into the political arena and throw political punches. And I will
00:35:05.580
tell these politicians in robes, actually without robes now in the political arena, that when you throw
00:35:11.980
political punches, expect to get political punches back from the Article III project.
00:35:19.800
Talk to me. So this is the Trump administration has asked to get this on the emergency docket.
00:35:28.080
Tell people, what's the emergency docket? How tough is it to get on it or to get picked up by it? And what's the
00:35:34.540
So how it works in the federal system, you bring litigation to the district courts. The district
00:35:40.560
court resolves the matter. It goes up to the court of appeals. They take briefs and motions and hear
00:35:46.520
oral argument. They resolve the matter. This oftentimes takes years. And then the Supreme Court has
00:35:52.040
discretionary review. They don't have to take cases. They take less than 1 percent of federal appeals
00:35:58.420
on their discretionary docket for merits decisions. But the emergency docket is different. The emergency
00:36:04.840
docket is used when the lower courts are doing something that they are issuing temporary restraining
00:36:12.480
orders or preliminary injunctions that are clearly unconstitutional, that need immediate action
00:36:19.220
by the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court also uses the emergency docket for all death penalty cases
00:36:26.200
around the country. And there are other ways they use the emergency docket. The emergency docket
00:36:32.540
is crucial here. And the justices must step up and use the emergency docket because we can't wait
00:36:40.080
weeks, months, or years for the president to be able to use his Article 2 power to fire executive
00:36:48.360
branch officials that he doesn't want working for him, to recall foreign service officers serving
00:36:55.620
overseas, that he doesn't want serving overseas, to have his treasury secretary look at treasury
00:37:02.820
payments to root out waste, fraud, and abuse. These are critical core Article 2 powers of the president.
00:37:10.520
He has not only the constitutional responsibility, he has the constitutional duty to make sure to take
00:37:19.020
care that our laws are faithfully executed. And if he thinks that we are spending money from the treasury
00:37:25.580
that's being fraudulently spent, that's being wasted on waste, fraud, and abuse, the president has a
00:37:32.540
constitutional duty under Article 2 to look at those payments. And we have these activist judges telling
00:37:40.060
the president of the United States he can't look at treasury payments. This is why the Supreme Court
00:37:45.760
has to step up immediately. These people who are fired, they have redressed. They can get monetary
00:37:52.500
payments if they were wrong. The president of the United States is losing his Article 2 power every
00:38:03.360
Exactly. The TRs are shutting them down across the nation. What is the probability, because you know how
00:38:12.900
Roberts is, what's the probability he doesn't want to get involved here? Will it be a fight behind the
00:38:19.160
scenes in the Supreme Court to actually, because there'll be some guys like Roberts that say, I want
00:38:23.520
to stay out of this fight. Or am I wrong? Is this something that you believe they're going to have to get
00:38:28.640
involved in and they know that, that they know that they're going to have to get involved? Or is Roberts
00:38:33.040
behind the scenes going to go, I want to stay away from this, just like he stayed away from the 2020
00:38:39.200
Well, there are a lot of D.C. judges who have vested interest in what happens in D.C. For example, there is a
00:38:46.740
federal judge right now whose spouse is getting a lot of federal funding, or excuse me, a lot, yeah, a lot of
00:38:53.320
federal funding from USAID. That federal judge probably has a conflict of interest. And so I
00:39:00.240
would think that that federal judge would not want to be on one of these cases involving USAID, because
00:39:06.500
I'm going to expose that judge's ass for this corruption. But I would say this about the Supreme
00:39:12.920
Court. If they do not protect Article II powers of the President of the United States, this is going to be
00:39:20.240
very damaging to the presidency long term. What President Trump is doing here, he's not stealing
00:39:27.600
Congress's legislative powers. He's not stealing the federal judiciary's judicial powers. He is exercising
00:39:36.060
core executive branch powers. For example, looking at waste, fraud, and abuse in treasury payments,
00:39:44.760
bringing home foreign service officers in 30 days. It is firing an executive branch official who he doesn't want
00:39:56.060
What about, okay, what about impounding, what about saying that, hey, I'm going to pound the money. I don't think the
00:40:02.880
program's working, or it's off track, or it's behind, or it's been changed. I'm going to pound the Green News
00:40:07.880
scam to $300 billion, and I'm going to reprogram it for the wall, sir.
00:40:11.620
Well, let me just say this about impoundment, that even if you... There's a lot of agreement
00:40:16.660
and disagreement on impoundment, depending on what side of the aisle you are. And I would say this
00:40:21.920
to the Supreme Court about impoundment. If the President of the United States, for example,
00:40:27.920
knows that Congress has mistakenly appropriated money to the UN and Gaza, and that money is going
00:40:36.100
to fund Hamas terrorists. Does the President of the United States have the power as the Chief Executive
00:40:43.480
Officer and the Commander-in-Chief to stop that appropriated money to Hamas? And the answer is
00:40:50.200
hell yes. And if you don't think otherwise, you are creating a very dangerous situation. The President
00:40:56.860
has the power under article to take care that our laws are faithfully executed. He is the Commander-in-Chief,
00:41:03.460
giving money from Congress to the UN as a front group in Gaza to Hamas. Not only would it be...
00:41:12.180
It would be actually... The President would be derelict in his duties if he continued to fund the UN
00:41:17.840
and Gaza, knowing that that money was going to Hamas terrorism.
00:41:21.900
What's the call to action? Or is there one? Do you want people just thinking this through? Will you
00:41:29.660
be back to them? Or is there a call to action today? Because, folks, we told you the courts is where
00:41:35.720
they've always depended upon the Justice Department, these corrupt prosecutors, main justice, and the
00:41:41.920
courts. And this is where the main line of battle is going to be. Because we've got so many issues of
00:41:48.380
impound and rescission. They're going to flow from this. What's the call to action today, Mike Davis?
00:41:53.180
I think the call to action is for people to continue to use the megaphone, use X, use getter,
00:42:01.840
use truth, get out there with opinion pieces. We need to... Here's what you need with the Supreme
00:42:06.820
Court. And this is unfortunate. But what you need with our weaklings on the Supreme Court is you need
00:42:12.420
two things. You need the law to be right, and you need the politics to be right. We saw this
00:42:18.460
with presidential immunity. We got John Sauer to make the beautiful presidential immunity legal
00:42:24.820
arguments. He's going to be President Trump's Solicitor General now. John Sauer did a masterful
00:42:29.360
job, but that's not enough. Not only do you have to have the law rights with these weaklings on the
00:42:33.840
Supreme Court, you need to have the politics right. And that's why we did the media blitz at the
00:42:39.220
Article 3 Project. 4,500 media hits, constant social media, constant opinion pieces. We had
00:42:45.440
to change the politics so these judges could easily follow the law. Okay. We're going to do it again.
00:42:52.140
We got a lot to get to the posse, so this is part of also Force Multiplier on Wednesday. Mike Davis,
00:42:57.500
where do people go? Article 3, you got the app. Your article, Grace and Moe pushing out the article.
00:43:04.500
Where do people go to get you on social media and elsewhere, sir?

00:46:33.780
great at putting up information, working with us. This is one of the reasons we have such
00:46:36.800
a great partnership. There's a bunch of things happening about gold, about gold being delivered
00:46:42.580
late at the City of London, Bank of England, about gold shipping back here, about the order
00:46:46.260
of gold. I'm going to get Philip Patrick, I think, tonight and go through all of that
00:46:50.080
to answer all your questions. A lot going on. Also, I want to go back. Make sure you
00:46:56.260
write this down. The law has to be right and the politics have to be right. Now, the law
00:47:02.040
being right, we have nothing to do with. You're not lawyers, most of you, thank God, and we're
00:47:08.160
particularly not constitutional lawyers, but we talk to the best and the smartest. I want
00:47:12.240
to go back. Mike referenced back to immunity, which eventually was nine to nothing and melted
00:47:18.280
down the left. And we started with a long shot. Remember, that was dismissed for the
00:47:22.300
first couple of months. It was on MSNBC. They dismiss it. It's a crackpot theory. It's
00:47:28.660
ridiculous. The court won't even take it up. These guys are screwballs. They're trying to
00:47:32.060
find something for Trump. When he says get the politics right, articles, and this is what
00:47:37.600
being a force multiplier is, on social media and among your own circle, forcing the issue.
00:47:43.380
Put it up so they can't look away from it. That's the exact same thing that has to happen
00:47:48.100
here. Because the court's going to be, and particularly the Supreme Court, and I've said
00:47:53.700
from the beginning, we're going to have to make some decisions here on the unified theory
00:47:57.480
of the executive. So they're saying it's a constitutional crisis. My point is it's not a constitutional
00:48:04.260
crisis. You just got to set some things right. They're, oh, it's a constitutional crisis
00:48:11.460
for all these things. No. It's quite well thought through, but it's got to be seen through
00:48:16.680
to its logical conclusion. How do we do that? We get it adjudicated. Remember in 2020, folks,
00:48:23.160
the agony you felt that we couldn't get a rightful hearing? Well, this is the same. Let's start
00:48:30.000
with these articles. We're going to be putting up with Grace and people in the chat rooms and
00:48:34.380
up on the show to make sure you get, we're on top of this, that we're on top of this.

00:49:29.160
about Zuckerberg and your exposure to Zuckerberg and his counter efforts to cover his tracks,
00:49:34.160
ma'am. Well, look, a snake can shed its skin and it's still a snake. So let this story be frankly,
00:49:40.400
a testament to, I think, the ascendant MAGA movement. They tried the first time, what,
00:49:44.720
to sabotage and sort of subversively infiltrate our movement. Now they know they have to be
00:49:49.280
supplicants and try to pretend to be MAGA, Mark Zuckerberg, probably the greatest defender in all
00:49:54.740
that. People may recall last week, we talked about how the New York Times came after a Twitter
00:49:59.000
thread that I did showing how Mark Zuckerberg had been funneling money to groups that are tied to
00:50:04.740
all the law fairs, the lawsuits that you've been talking about, particularly an organization called
00:50:08.820
Protect Democracy. But the story gets even darker. You know, we like to bring the receipts here in
00:50:14.620
the war room, as we always say. Well, after I broke that story, that thread, the Chan Zuckerberg
00:50:19.960
Initiative actually went back to their website, which used to list over 5,000 grants that they've
00:50:26.140
doled out to overwhelmingly far-left organizations. But that's besides the point, at least for this
00:50:31.780
second. But what's so interesting is that after I put that thread out, they actually reversed their
00:50:36.800
website. And now they only list 680 grants, saying that they're only doing post-2024 grants.
00:50:43.480
Conveniently, everything they did to rig the 2020 election is now gone. But I also want to push back
00:50:49.240
on this idea that Mark Zuckerberg could have never funded a group that's tied to ongoing and active
00:50:54.520
Trump resistance. Because I actually, donor-advised funds aside, the Silicon Valley Community
00:51:00.220
Foundation aside, Forward US, which was founded by Mark Zuckerberg in 2013, in addition to the
00:51:06.540
Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, I've actually identified over a dozen organizations that have been funded by
00:51:12.600
them that are actively involved in some form of resistance against President Trump, whether that be
00:51:17.640
lawsuits, lobbying, protests, mass demonstration, phone banking, phone calls, you name it, just to give you
00:51:24.160
some examples. One of the groups, it's called CASA, is actively suing President Trump over his birthright
00:51:30.060
citizenship executive order. They also maintain a hotline where people can dox ICE raids and ICE
00:51:35.960
agents. Make the Road New York has a whole deportation defense manual. They instruct legal aliens how to
00:51:42.240
avoid deportation, and they're suing President Trump over his deportation agenda. Vote Vets Action has
00:51:48.560
received money from Zuckerberg. They actively oppose the Hegseth confirmation. They're having all their
00:51:53.500
deranged followers pile in with lawsuits, petitions, you name it. You have this Center for American
00:51:59.400
Progress, the sort of hotbed of Obama administration alums that are putting out petition after petition, lawsuit
00:52:05.300
after lawsuit. They're also part of that Democracy Forward Coalition, which is sort of the tip of the spear of all of the
00:52:11.400
lawsuits against President Trump. And there's some really, really extremely radical open borders advocacy groups like the Black Alliance for Just
00:52:19.300
Just Immigration, which smeared, believe it or not, the Lake and Riley Act as racist and a pipeline to mass detention and deportation. And my favorite common justice, a far left group, is actively tweeting as we speak about how they're going to resist Trump and nothing will make them back down. So, Mark Zuckerberg, I know you're so focused on criminal justice. Yes, go ahead.
00:52:41.680
Yeah, hang on, hang on, hang on. I want to hold you through the break. We're gonna get to Ukraine. We're gonna get to the Catholic Church in McCarrick. This demon. Huge expose on that.
