Bannon's War Room - Episode 4683： Investigations Continue Into The Russia Hoax; Texas Might Win 5 Seats In Redistricting Fight

00:00:00.000 The question is, why are you doing this? Why are you doing this? And the answer is because we can, because we have the power.

00:00:09.580 You know, some of the details are like, you know, the plot of a political novel.

00:00:15.740 And in fact, actually, my colleague Larry Wright wrote a terrific political novel just a couple of years ago about the Texas statehouse called Mr. Texas.

00:00:24.880 I highly recommend it. But, you know, this isn't fiction. It's a world of raw power politics in which you see how the escalation cycle begins.

00:00:33.920 Texas does one thing. Blue states respond. And all of a sudden, we're at a kind of a level of political war.

00:00:41.860 And I'm very struck, as I'm sure you are, Steph, with the language of war being used by Texas Republicans, being used by New York's governor today.

00:00:50.780 And this is a form of unraveling in and of itself. But it's raw power politics.

00:00:57.360 It's all because the Republicans do not have a workable majority in the U.S. House of Representatives right now.

00:01:04.520 They're afraid of an election, a midterm election coming.

00:01:08.300 And if history is any guide, throwing them out of the majority in the House, that would be almost a crippling blow for Trump's second two years of his second and final term in office.

00:01:19.440 And, you know, what he's saying is, I don't want a level playing field in 2026.

00:01:25.780 I want to do what I can to tilt the playing field in Texas.

00:01:30.000 And I just I think it's a new level of conflict that we haven't seen even in Trump's first term.

00:01:35.700 You described this as a war. You said, bring it on.

00:01:39.740 You've talked about doing something extraordinary, which is potentially paving the way for redistricting in New York,

00:01:48.020 essentially to allow Democrats to take seats that aren't currently Democratic leaning seats the way that Republicans are doing in Texas.

00:01:55.080 Tell me about whether you think it's going to get there and whether you think if the war is going to be fought in those terms, who ends up winning?

00:02:04.660 Rachel, if we refuse to fight for our democracy, then we're doomed to lose it.

00:02:12.860 We don't want our democracy lost.

00:02:15.620 And that's why I am sick and tired of fighting these battles with my hands tied behind my backs because we have independent redistricting commission.

00:02:23.260 We love good government ideas. They're fabulous.

00:02:25.960 But you know what? It puts us at a political disadvantage to all the Republican states who are able to gerrymander at will.

00:02:32.580 So look at the tip of balance in the Congress now and what the Republicans are attempting to do under the direction of Donald Trump to literally hijack five Democratic seats in Texas represented, particularly my minority communities.

00:02:48.260 They're going to lose their voice.

00:02:49.940 And the effect of that on New York, why I'm involved with this, if they stack it so it's almost impossible for Hakeem Jeffries to be speaker at any time in the near future,

00:02:58.880 certainly during the Trump administration, then I have to deal with the onslaught of attacks on my residents, the loss of health care for millions, children starving because they don't have the SNAP benefits and seeing the ice raids with unfettered power,

00:03:14.380 walking into our courthouses and our buildings and our schools, wearing masks and blaring guns.

00:03:18.880 There's no way to stop this if we don't find a way to have some checks and balance in Washington because we do not have it now.

00:03:26.200 And if we don't stand up and fight, we'll not have it for the entirety of Donald Trump's tenure.

00:03:31.160 And that is what is so frightening to me.

00:03:33.680 You know what? I'm a New Yorker. I'm from Buffalo.

00:03:36.880 Fighting is second nature to us. I'm not afraid of this.

00:03:39.420 That's why I said bring it on, because Texas, bullies in Texas are not going to intimidate us now or ever. 1.00

00:03:47.320 We're also following all the new developments this morning in the showdown in Texas.

00:03:51.280 The statehouse is set to convene again today after the Republican governor ordered the arrest of dozens of Democratic lawmakers who have now fled that state.

00:03:59.560 Those Democrats left on Sunday to block the GOP effort backed by President Trump to redraw the state's congressional map.

00:04:07.000 Now, that could have a huge impact on the 2026 midterms, potentially eliminating five Democratic seats in the U.S. House.

00:04:15.640 And new CNN this morning, CNN reporting this morning, California Democrats are in deep talks to retaliate by redrawing their own map to potentially do away with five Republican seats in that state.

00:04:27.780 Sources briefed on those talks say the new maps are expected to be part of a ballot referendum in a November special election.

00:04:34.000 Texas House is expected to come back about one o'clock central time, two o'clock eastern time.

00:04:39.300 When they gaveled in yesterday, that's when it was official that the Democrats had broken the quorum here by fleeing the state.

00:04:46.160 We expect that to continue today.

00:04:48.580 We are about halfway through this 30 day special legislative session, about two weeks left in it.

00:04:54.460 So they would have to stay away to at least kill the redistricting bill during this session.

00:04:59.340 But a reminder that the governor here in Texas can simply call another special session, put the redistricting bill back on that on that schedule and that all of this would start all over again.

00:05:10.340 That's why there's so many questions swirling around whether or not and how long willing the Democrats are willing to stay away from the state to block this measure.

00:05:18.580 But what is interesting, as you talk about there in the lead in, that, you know, one of the things that we heard from Democrats over and over in the days leading up to them leaving the state is that what they hoped would happen is that this would ratchet up pressure,

00:05:32.420 intensify pressure on other states and spread the word about what is happening here in Texas and that other states in Democratic states would follow suit.

00:05:42.400 And that was one of the things that several Democrats had told us leading up to yesterday's quorum break that they had hoped to see that that would be one of their goals in leaving leaving the state and trying to build momentum for awareness of the redistricting issue.

00:05:59.080 But Republicans are fighting back there.

00:06:01.080 The governor is obviously threatening arrest, threatening fines, as well as threatening possible criminal charges of bribery as well.

00:06:10.380 Democrats dismiss that as hollow threats.

00:06:13.540 But Republicans are also telling them, you know, they're simply cowards for not being here.

00:06:17.440 At one o'clock central time, the House is expected to reconvene.

00:06:21.000 Yesterday's session lasted only a few minutes, just enough time for the Speaker of the House to initiate the process of issuing the civil arrest warrants.

00:06:29.560 And then shortly after that, the Texas governor ordering DPS to bring state troopers to bring the Democrats back.

00:06:36.320 But of course, outside of the state lines, much of this is not enforceable.

00:06:41.220 So the Democrats will remain gone.

00:06:43.400 The question is, for how long?

00:06:45.020 This department will say that the president won not just the last election, but he also won the one before that, the one he actually lost.

00:06:51.320 And anybody who points out that Russia tried to help him win the one before that should be criminally charged for saying that, even though it's true.

00:06:57.900 So, we are not heading towards something like this.

00:07:03.860 We are there.

00:07:05.780 It is here.

00:07:06.900 It is the environment in which we are now living.

00:07:10.380 And so, given that you now live in a country with an authoritarian leader, the question is, what can you do for your country?

00:07:19.120 The question is no longer how to prepare for this risk or how to try to avert it, but rather how to fight it now that it is here and in effect.

00:07:32.760 And, you know, we're awake now.

00:07:35.660 It's clear.

00:07:36.200 We're all living here.

00:07:37.240 It's very obvious that this is not going to get better on its own.

00:07:41.360 This is not going to fix itself.

00:07:43.240 An authoritarian just seeks more and more and more power throughout not just politics, but through all of society, systematically trying to eliminate any effective means of opposing him.

00:07:55.220 This is a one-way ratchet if we leave it up to him.

00:07:59.080 But that at least does give us some clarity for Americans who do not want to leave it up to him.

00:08:05.100 Right?

00:08:05.600 We're beyond waiting and seeing now.

00:08:07.400 It is clear what is going on.

00:08:08.540 It is clear now that these small-D democratic tools that we've got right now as a country, these are as good as it is going to get.

00:08:15.320 We are never going to have more resources to fight for our country than we do right now.

00:08:26.320 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.

00:08:31.220 Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.

00:08:35.120 I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.

00:08:40.740 The people have had a belly full of it.

00:08:42.720 I know you don't like hearing that.

00:08:44.140 I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.

00:08:46.760 It's going to happen.

00:08:48.040 And where do people like that go to share the big line?

00:08:51.440 Mega media.

00:08:52.840 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

00:08:58.200 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

00:09:01.340 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

00:09:08.260 War Room.

00:09:09.180 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

00:09:17.260 All right.

00:09:18.240 Good morning, everyone.

00:09:19.200 Dave Bratt sitting in for the great Stephen K. Bannon this morning.

00:09:22.860 We have a power-packed show leading off.

00:09:27.180 There's so much in the news.

00:09:29.140 You don't know how good Stephen K. Bannon is, sifting through just endless piles of history-making news.

00:09:40.260 Every single day, every minute, sorting it out, weighing what needs importance, and that's what the War Room does every day.

00:09:48.280 So, honored to be sitting in.

00:09:49.620 And I'm going to start off with breaking news.

00:09:53.120 House Oversight Committee under Rep. James Comer, who I serve with, huge moves here.

00:10:01.480 And, you know, when these guys do the right thing, give them some positive feedback.

00:10:07.520 James Comer, breaking.

00:10:08.820 House Oversight Committee is compelling the following individuals to appear for depositions through issued subpoenas.

00:10:16.740 Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, October 9.

00:10:21.460 Former President Bill Clinton, October 14.

00:10:24.960 Former U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, October 2.

00:10:29.220 Former FBI Director James Comey, October 7.

00:10:34.320 Wow.

00:10:35.420 Former U.S. Attorney General William Barr, August 18.

00:10:40.020 Former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez, August 26.

00:10:43.520 Former U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions, August 28.

00:10:47.940 Former FBI Director Robert Mueller, September 2.

00:10:51.940 Former U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch, September 9. 0.93

00:10:56.280 Former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, September 30.

00:11:00.620 All this in relation to the Epstein files.

00:11:04.920 We got Alex deGrasse with us.

00:11:06.980 He's going to be coming in with commentary, and then Sam Faddis on his conspiracy we'll dig into in a minute as well.

00:11:15.720 Yesterday, breaking news, if that's not enough, Pam Bondi directed the Justice Department to grand jury investigation of the Obama administration.

00:11:24.340 Brennan, Clapper, Comey, et cetera, as well.

00:11:27.520 So that's another huge piece of breaking news.

00:11:31.880 So we've got action, folks.

00:11:34.660 We've been talking, and now we've got action.

00:11:37.800 And I just want to bring in a stray tangential thing that I think is important that we need to remember as Americans.

00:11:45.840 This seems a little, you know, nerdy or whatever, but I think you'll get it, and the war room posse will get it, right?

00:11:52.980 We are a republic, a constitutional republic, not a democracy governed by mob rule.

00:12:02.420 So, you know, last week, the big breaking news, and Mike Benz, you know, just always unreal.

00:12:08.260 Natalie, always unreal on this.

00:12:11.320 But the National Endowment for Democracy, right?

00:12:14.980 Just that term, right?

00:12:15.940 They're responsible for overturning governments and, you know, cooperation with the CIA and State Department and all this kind of NGOs.

00:12:24.400 You all know this story.

00:12:25.560 But I don't like the term National Endowment for Democracy.

00:12:28.900 If you look at this conspiracy that's been alleged by Tulsi and now going to grand jury, we got too close to being a democracy in this country, right?

00:12:39.960 With the censorship regimes, all the big tech on board that project, conservative CEOs were scared to speak out, churches were closed, you all, the Fauci piece, what RFK's uncovering, all of that.

00:12:56.780 We got way too close to being a pure democracy without guaranteed rights for minority factions.

00:13:04.800 You know, James Madison, the Constitution of the U.S.

00:13:08.620 So hold us all accountable on this kind of thing, right?

00:13:11.980 This really matters.

00:13:13.820 The rights of minorities in law, because those, the left, the far left, China, you can tell the difference, right?

00:13:22.800 They're never talking.

00:13:24.320 They just want to grab power, seize power, and then the rights of minority factions are not protected. 0.95

00:13:30.420 And so, Alex, why don't you just, if you want to comment just a minute on today's breaking news, I think we just got a couple minutes left since the cold open was so long.

00:13:40.020 But Alex DeGrasse, fire away.

00:13:42.560 Thanks.

00:13:42.860 Yeah, I mean, this stuff is huge, John Comer.

00:13:45.660 I mean, this is really one of the greatest conspiracies, of course, in deflection.

00:13:48.760 And obviously, the posse, once again, at the forefront of driving this issue, like redistricting.

00:13:55.140 Am I coming through or no?

00:13:56.860 Okay.

00:13:57.160 Yeah, you're good.

00:13:57.700 Okay, you know, once again, at the forefront of driving this issue into action, and it's great.

00:14:02.940 I mean, we have to keep up the gas.

00:14:04.060 The service that all of us are doing, working the phones, pushing this forward, I think, couldn't change the fate of the country, especially looking at the mid-term days.

00:14:11.900 So we'll talk more about that at the break right now.

00:14:16.180 Yeah, and keep going, Alex.

00:14:18.680 So you've got two issues now.

00:14:21.920 You've got the James Comer piece on the Epstein files, and then you've got the Tulsi going to the Justice Department as well.

00:14:32.000 So do you see this?

00:14:34.040 I mean, is it a time where the posse, you know, we never stop, right?

00:14:38.540 Steve Bannon never stops.

00:14:40.060 But is this a time where we can actually say we've got action taking place here on behalf of the American people for a change?

00:14:48.580 Yeah.

00:14:48.800 I mean, I certainly hope this gets across the finish line.

00:14:50.940 I think it will require sustained action from the posse.

00:14:54.180 I think positive reinforcements and members of Congress.

00:14:56.480 Excellent.

00:14:56.820 All right, Alex, right back after the break.

00:14:59.460 Sorry, folks, I was off on the clocks a bit.

00:15:01.200 Right back.

00:15:02.240 This July, there is a global summit of BRICS nations in Rio de Janeiro, the bloc of emerging superpowers, including China, Russia, India, and Persia,

00:15:12.680 are meeting with the goal of displacing the United States dollar as the global currency.

00:15:17.840 They're calling this the Rio Reset.

00:15:20.500 As BRICS nations push forward with their plans, global demand for U.S. dollars will decrease, bringing down the value of the dollar in your savings.

00:15:29.180 While this transition won't not happen overnight, but trust me, it's going to start in Rio.

00:15:35.640 The Rio Reset in July marks a pivotal moment when BRICS objectives move decisively from a theoretical possibility towards an inevitable reality.

00:17:02.940 Alex, let's just finish up on the news of the day again.

00:17:07.200 You are familiar with the polling.

00:17:09.960 You work with several representatives, major leaders in the country.

00:17:13.720 You got your finger on the pulse of the base in particular.

00:17:17.320 Why is the base so fired up about transparency and truth-telling and these Epstein files and then the prosecution of this conspiracy case?

00:17:28.980 What is it at base that makes this such a huge issue right now at this moment in time?

00:17:34.640 Well, I think, like Steve has always said, you know, it speaks to really who runs the country and our concern with the deep state and the powers that be.

00:17:42.560 And I think, you know, I think the posse are amazing, smart people.

00:17:46.200 We understand that the Democrats are using this to weaponize on the Epstein stuff, which is a total scam.

00:17:51.860 We know President Trump has nothing to do with any of this stuff.

00:17:55.160 He knows that.

00:17:55.800 People know that.

00:17:56.480 But, you know, but they've got this lie.

00:17:58.740 And so if people want to uncover the truth, which I think will greatly damage the Democrat Party based off everyone's basic understanding of who the real players are here involved in the sick stuff.

00:18:10.040 So we welcome any of this transparency and accountability.

00:18:13.700 I think that, you know, I don't think it's a major, major issue at the top of minds with voters.

00:18:18.100 But the Democrats are certainly attempting to politicize this.

00:18:21.800 And then our people, too, are wondering kind of what's going on.

00:18:23.800 So I think that's important to kind of put that to bed, flip the script, force it on the Democrats and expose them.

00:18:29.520 Obviously, you know, Russiagate is one of the biggest scandals, in my humble opinion, and crimes that we've seen for our republic and the depths that they've gone.

00:18:40.620 So I think that is the whole ballgame because really everything – and that was when I was young.

00:18:44.920 I mean, working with Elise and right out of college and working when she actually questioned Comey in 2017 and her – when she just got on the intelligence committee.

00:18:53.760 That actually set in motion.

00:18:55.280 It's an untold story, really.

00:18:56.340 Steve, we talk about it where he sort of didn't answer why they didn't alert the big aid on the counterintelligence investigation into Trump.

00:19:04.000 People started asking questions.

00:19:05.100 Because Devin Nunes then jumped in to the investigation following that famous March 2017 Comey hearing in front of the intelligence committee, which many posse members that have been following this.

00:19:16.060 And then, you know, everything is sort of connected to this, obviously, the red election.

00:19:19.780 I mean, everything stems from, you know, this notion that – this lie that President Trump was a Russian agent, which is out of control.

00:19:27.840 And so I think getting to that really is one of the most pressing issues because I think it will shatter the modern Democrat Party because when I talk to voters, my Democrat friends, they actually think that Trump was a Russian agent as of like a year ago.

00:19:41.540 I mean, people are that sort of consumed by that madness that they've been fed by the mainstream media.

00:19:48.000 And you look, the mainstream media is obviously exposing themselves in broad daylight, trying to cover up desperately in the last 48 hours all the major networks claiming, you know, there's no evidence, this, that, all this stuff.

00:19:59.500 I mean, there's a ton of evidence.

00:20:00.500 And it will be a huge reckoning for this country.

00:20:03.300 I hope it leads to reforms on the intelligence committee in the community.

00:20:07.820 And no one should have – be able to have this type of power to – you know, I mean, I think this was, in my opinion, you know, a vast CIA operation in domestic soil spying on President Trump.

00:20:20.080 That's what I think, colluding with foreign powers.

00:20:22.660 I mean, this would be huge.

00:20:24.720 You know, that's my take from looking at the evidence.

00:20:27.460 But – and it goes to the top.

00:20:29.600 No, that's right.

00:20:30.760 That's right.

00:20:31.580 The Tulsi operation, Mockingbird, everything, NBC News.

00:20:35.480 This is – we don't know – they're in – like you just said, the mainstream media is putting itself out of business here.

00:20:43.440 When the files do come and when the testimony does come, they are sitting on a hot mess, right?

00:20:49.820 I mean, this morning on the cold open, everyone saw that.

00:20:52.880 We don't know what happened.

00:20:54.080 They're not naming any names.

00:20:55.160 We don't know any crimes.

00:20:56.660 You'll notice they never mention the Biden laptop.

00:20:59.180 They don't mention the Chinese money.

00:21:00.980 We have the receipts, Scott Perry in Congress.

00:21:03.880 I had the checks in his hands.

00:21:05.980 So the receipts are there.

00:21:07.120 I'm going to get into that with Sam Faddis coming up next too.

00:21:10.560 But why don't you give us a summary recap of redistricting?

00:21:15.060 I was redistricted, right?

00:21:16.680 I had my most powerful county, Hanover County, just great, all-American people.

00:21:23.600 The unit party works together on this.

00:21:26.260 Folks at home may not get that what the unit party is.

00:21:29.300 That's when you upset the Republican apple cart.

00:21:32.040 All political views are my own here.

00:21:33.440 And you upset the Democrat apple cart.

00:21:36.040 They work together.

00:21:37.260 And they make little side deals.

00:21:39.320 This is not one of them down in Texas.

00:21:42.060 Although there is a unit party element here, right?

00:21:45.080 I mean, the Republican, I guess maybe it is, right?

00:21:48.860 But trying to get all five seats, this is a good Republican move.

00:21:54.720 And the Democrats do this regularly.

00:21:56.560 And we're not used to it.

00:21:57.860 And so, Alex, give us where do we stand lately with all these folks up visiting Illinois?

00:22:03.480 So, you know, it's interesting about Illinois.

00:22:05.640 So it's the most, you know, gerrymandered state in the country.

00:22:08.760 I think I saw Brian Harrison, who's been hammering on the show.

00:22:11.180 I think went on CNN and held up the map that showed that, you know, they've got this long, skinny, all these crazy seats.

00:22:17.880 So, you know, they are a scam at heart.

00:22:21.480 And, you know, the reality is they're at risk because they've already kind of redistricted to a pretty – I mean, sorry, they've already kind of gerrymandered to a high extent.

00:22:28.780 Of course, they believe they can pick off some seats in California, maybe a few in New York.

00:22:32.740 But the reality is that we can pick off way more.

00:22:37.080 And so they are not used to fighting fire with fire, right?

00:22:40.000 I mean, these are the rules.

00:22:41.440 And we're playing hardball.

00:22:42.500 These are the rules of the game.

00:22:44.160 Nothing's illegal on any front.

00:22:45.820 This stuff will get tested.

00:22:47.680 And, you know, Kathy Hochul, who's the biggest scam on the planet, polling in the 30 percent. 1.00

00:22:52.260 And, I mean, she attempted the gerrymandering in New York State twice.

00:22:55.480 Elise led lawsuits. 1.00

00:22:56.800 We defeated her.

00:22:57.640 And so now they want to change the Constitution because they're whining.

00:23:00.000 But, you know, to try to get a third attempt at gerrymandering.

00:23:04.240 And so, you know, too bad.

00:23:05.760 I mean, that's how this works.

00:23:06.800 I mean, this is political hardball, right?

00:23:09.400 I mean, this is tough stuff.

00:23:10.600 And so it's great that we were talking about 12 seats.

00:23:14.140 Yesterday, now we're talking about 13 with J.D. Vance, Vice President Vance, maybe going to Indiana is the latest news.

00:23:19.940 They're looking at a second seat in Indiana.

00:23:22.340 So I'm not sure the latest on that front.

00:23:24.240 But now we're talking about 13.

00:23:25.700 I think there's other possibilities being discussed.

00:23:28.420 And, of course, this is escalation.

00:23:30.660 But they're the ones that escalated this, Dave.

00:23:32.880 I mean, this is the joke, right?

00:23:34.400 We've been the ones fighting with one hand behind our back.

00:23:37.860 And now we're seeing patriots drive the ship and fight back with fire for fire.

00:23:42.720 And, you know, too bad for them.

00:23:45.600 But we've got to see this through, honestly.

00:23:47.320 Yeah, I agree 100%.

00:23:50.940 And the Republicans, I beat someone in leadership.

00:23:58.320 And, you know, people are kind of friendly up there.

00:24:00.700 But then things don't go.

00:24:02.600 You don't get put on committees.

00:24:03.940 You don't get any money for your reelection if you don't vote 100% with leadership up there.

00:24:09.760 And now President Trump has come in with MAGA and broken the mold, right?

00:24:13.840 And so he's a fighter.

00:24:16.440 And so now you've got some of the Republicans joining the fight and not getting rolled.

00:24:21.740 We used to be Cub Scouts and have white papers on everything.

00:24:25.300 But we never thought we lost on everything.

00:24:27.580 And today we're finally seeing some of these receipts.

00:24:32.480 And so put on your statistician hat, how are we looking for 2026?

00:24:38.660 Because that is going to be key in the House and the Senate.

00:24:42.540 With the moves you see going on right now on redistricting, what's your conservative bet?

00:24:50.420 Well, I think it's going to be really tight.

00:24:51.960 It's always very tight in the House.

00:24:53.240 I mean, I think the issues are on our side if Republicans continue to focus on affordability, the border, foreign policy wins and peace across the world, as well as trade and rebirth of manufacturing.

00:25:04.660 I mean, really no one over the last six months for any president has been able to deliver the type of transformational change that not just President Trump, who deserves the credit, but Republicans in Congress, let's give them some credit.

00:25:15.300 I mean, they've muscled some of this stuff through, and I think they need to not be shy and sort of lean in and sort of take the message home and sort of amplify this.

00:25:24.160 Because I think the Democrats will come with a type of sophistication and viciousness that we've not seen before.

00:25:29.800 I mean, we cannot count them out.

00:25:31.500 They are vicious.

00:25:32.860 People with – they will have – I mean, they'll have billions and billions and billions of dollars that they will spend in ways that we won't even be able to comprehend with dark money and nonprofits and super PACs and the Soro stuff.

00:25:43.160 And, I mean, we already – I think some of the Republicans were standing outside the DCCC, and I think – it was in the news, but I think we watched their PowerPoint presentation.

00:25:51.840 I don't know why they never set the blinds.

00:25:53.200 It's on the first floor. 1.00

00:25:53.960 They're really dumb people over there if they're Democrats. 1.00

00:25:55.940 And, you know, they're walking through with this. 1.00

00:25:57.700 You know, they've got this influencer plan.

00:25:59.500 They've got all this money.

00:26:00.420 So there's going to be a record amount of misinformation because they can't win on the issues.

00:26:05.400 So I think things will be tight.

00:26:06.640 If we pick up seats, that's great.

00:26:08.080 I'm not nervous.

00:26:09.400 People say, oh, they're doing this because they're losing on the issues.

00:26:11.500 That's what the Democrats are like, no, I think we're great on the issues, but why wouldn't we do what they've done for years, net what we can, put us in the best position?

00:26:18.520 Maybe we pick up seats.

00:26:19.840 I mean that would be against the norm, of course.

00:26:21.760 You've only seen in the last 100 years twice after an incumbent midterm party in power that picks up seats.

00:26:28.720 But, hey, anything's possible with President Trump.

00:26:30.820 We're out raising them like two to three to one across the board.

00:26:34.080 We've got grassroots.

00:26:34.880 We just have to kind of keep it going.

00:26:36.420 I think a big difference between now and 2018 is we held a lot of seats in 2018 that Hillary Clinton had won, that we were defending in the House.

00:26:45.980 And now it's quite the opposite.

00:26:47.320 I think we're only defending three seats that Kamala Harris won that are held by a Republican, and there may be 13 or so that are the opposite, right, where a Democrat holds that President Trump did better than the previous House candidate.

00:26:59.220 And so if we could focus on those key seats, and I've been working with the posse, I think they're going to have a report out soon that goes through those seats, goes through the targets, see where some of those are, and, of course, things will shift with the lines.

00:27:10.600 But it's going to be a knife fight of knife fights, and we've talked about this, and I've been coming on the show for years and cycles where it's like the house, the house, the house.

00:27:18.020 Now this is the ballgame.

00:27:19.380 And if we hold the house in any extent, we keep this moving.

00:27:22.600 If we lose it, everything is done.

00:27:24.000 Yep, Alex DeGrasse, thank you so much for all you do for the country, for coming on the war room this morning.

00:27:31.500 How do people follow you across the board?

00:27:34.920 Give us all your social media.

00:27:36.840 I'm at DeGrasse81 on X.

00:27:39.320 I'm at GetterTruth, the whole thing.

00:27:41.200 Thank you, Dave.

00:27:41.960 Thank you, everyone, to the posse.

00:27:43.120 Let's just, you know, stay locked in on this redistricting on, you know, the investigations in the House, and so we'll keep this going.

00:27:49.480 Thank you.

00:27:51.160 Yep, you bet, Alex.

00:27:52.260 Thanks for being with us.

00:27:53.640 All you friends down in Texas, I get down there quite a bit, visiting Dallas, Houston, friends all over that great state.

00:28:03.140 All Americans, Trump by 14 percent, and yet we're having this crazy corruption with a uniparty down in Texas. 0.92

00:28:12.960 And so get on the hotlines.

00:28:14.600 Call your representatives, state senators, everybody.

00:28:17.660 Show them you mean business.

00:28:19.000 And we'll be back with more on this issue.

00:28:22.300 But first, we got Sam Faddis on the CIA corruption as well.

00:28:27.420 What if he had the brightest mind in the war room delivering critical financial research every month?

00:28:33.440 Steve Bannon here.

00:28:34.600 War Room listeners know Jim Rickards.

00:28:36.280 I love this guy.

00:28:37.120 He's our wise man, a former CIA, Pentagon, and White House advisor with an unmatched grasp of geopolitics and capital markets.

00:28:45.340 Jim predicted Trump's Electoral College victory exactly 312 to 226, down to the actual number itself.

00:28:54.020 Now he's issuing a dire warning about April 11th, a moment that could define Trump's presidency in your financial future.

00:29:02.420 His latest book, Money GPT, exposes how AI is setting the stage for financial chaos, bank runs at lightning speeds, algorithm-driven crashes, and even threats to national security.

00:29:13.800 Right now, war room members get a free copy of Money GPT when they sign up for Strategic Intelligence.

00:29:20.580 This is Jim's flagship financial newsletter, Strategic Intelligence.

00:29:25.480 I read it.

00:29:26.500 You should read it.

00:29:27.560 Time is running out.

00:29:28.420 Go to RickardsWarRoom.com.

00:29:30.260 That's all one word, Rickards War Room, Rickards with an S.

00:29:36.080 That's RickardsWarRoom.com.

00:29:38.600 Do it today.

00:29:39.180 Here's your host, Stephen K.

00:29:42.300 All right, back in the war room.

00:29:47.400 I want to give a shout out to our good friends at Birch Gold.

00:29:51.420 I don't know whether you all saw Tucker Carlson's interview on the Federal Reserve with, I'm looking for the name, Richard Warner.

00:29:58.200 You ought to all go watch that.

00:30:00.020 Warner, you know, you're going to get economists, academics love to just critique each other on, you know,

00:30:05.740 how many angels can fit on the head of a pin or needle or whatever.

00:30:10.300 But, man, his insights on the institution of the Federal Reserve when it was founded, two brothers running the U.S.

00:30:18.040 and the German Federal Reserve banks at the same time, not running, but two significant leaders, two brothers.

00:30:25.480 I mean, you can't make this stuff up.

00:30:27.540 The 1914 World War I connections, the Fed loves war.

00:30:33.880 You just cannot make this stuff up.

00:30:35.980 So I highly recommend that to everyone.

00:30:38.860 And I also just want to remind everybody on this economy, right, President Trump's hitting on all cylinders, right?

00:30:45.380 You could not do a better job redefining the whole geopolitical landscape by achieving fairness, bringing manufacturing back to America, right?

00:30:56.420 Eight trillion dollars foreign commitments, two trillion American firm commitments, ten trillion dollars in CapEx coming our way.

00:31:04.060 Right. But that's going to take a while. And don't lose track of the fact this is still, in many respects, Biden's economy, right?

00:31:10.720 That two trillion dollar deficit we have is a major problem still.

00:31:15.660 It's ongoing because everybody knows if you lop two trillion dollars off of a twenty eight trillion dollar economy, that's a major hit.

00:31:24.060 Right. You'll be in a recession. So the solution is is fairly simple.

00:31:29.940 Well, it's very hard to do, but it has to do with the Federal Reserve, of course, and our friends at Birch Gold know this kind of thing.

00:31:38.680 If if we promise and the Congress is to take some leadership to cut some spending out of that two trillion dollar deficit,

00:31:46.100 and then you make a deal with the Federal Reserve to lower the interest rates based on that cut, it's a new day for business.

00:31:53.540 Business will pop like you've never seen it. Right.

00:31:56.300 We're all waiting on too late, too late Powell, as Trump says.

00:32:00.260 And he boy, is he right on that one right now.

00:32:02.940 And so the Fed, I hope they wake up and give a significant cut that goes in tandem with cutting spending.

00:32:09.860 And if you take the money away from the federal government and put it in the private sector, boom, there goes the productivity we need.

00:32:16.300 But there's two trillion dollars in funny money sitting there that we need to fix soon.

00:32:22.060 And I don't see Congress or the Senate showing any sign because they're scared stiff to make those cuts.

00:32:28.980 And so I just want to give a shout out call Birch Gold, Birch Gold dot com slash Bannon.

00:32:34.220 And I'll also give a shout out to my friend Kevin Freeman and his book Pirate Money.

00:32:56.980 Go look him up.

00:32:57.960 He was referenced by Judy Shelton, the superstar the other day, for his innovations down with gold as a currency in Texas and Florida.

00:33:06.420 They passed both states.

00:33:08.480 So huge moves.

00:33:10.080 So now we've got a little cold open we're going to go to.

00:33:13.340 And then we've got Sam Faddis coming up with a CIA conspiracy breaking news as well.

00:33:19.640 Attorney General Pam Bondi has directed Justice Department prosecutors to launch a grand jury investigation into whether officials in the Obama administration committed federal crimes when they assessed Russia's actions during the 2016 election.

00:33:35.220 That's according to a senior Trump administration official.

00:33:38.020 The move comes after National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard claimed last month top Obama administration officials carried out a, quote, treasonous conspiracy against Donald Trump.

00:33:49.160 She did not offer evidence of that.

00:33:50.920 Gabbard said she is sending criminal referrals to the Justice Department.

00:33:55.600 We don't know what the crimes are that are alleged here.

00:33:58.540 We don't know who is being targeted and we don't know where this grand jury will sit.

00:34:02.960 And all of that's, you know, very concerning.

00:34:04.700 Normally in the, you know, prosecution process in this country, no one is indicted, no investigation is announced or anyone is indicted before a grand jury has heard evidence and a fellow citizen decides this other citizen should be charged with a crime.

00:34:20.180 Here we have an approach where there's sort of a, you know, the Director of National Intelligence makes a sweeping allegation potentially that the former President of the United States was involved in a treasonous plot.

00:34:30.540 And then you have the Attorney General announcing that she is launching a criminal investigation of this plot.

00:34:35.900 But again, we don't know the charges.

00:34:37.940 We don't know where they're going to investigate or who it's going to be. 1.00

00:34:40.900 But the one thing we do know, Jonathan Lemire, is this is extraordinarily stupid. 1.00

00:34:44.140 It's extraordinarily stupid on so many counts. 1.00

00:34:46.700 If you if you look at the timeline, the timeline doesn't add up. 0.99

00:34:50.640 It's like when Donald Trump is saying that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton created the Epstein files.

00:34:55.500 No, no, no, no, no.

00:34:57.040 That all happened during Donald Trump's first term.

00:35:00.020 You look at the timeline here about what happened and when it happened.

00:35:04.840 Barack Obama had nothing to do with this by anybody's accounts and especially by the Senate Republican Intelligence Committee run by Marco Rubio,

00:35:15.980 who afterwards said that it was Donald Trump's 2016 campaign that created a, quote, grave intelligence, counterintelligence threat to the United States of America.

00:35:27.940 That was Marco Rubio, the current Secretary of State.

00:35:31.360 That was every Republican on the Senate Intel Committee after pouring through all of the documents.

00:35:37.220 That's what they found.

00:35:38.840 And when poor John Durham was made to sacrifice his professional career to go around the world investigating the investigators, 0.93

00:35:47.580 he found nothing and ended up making a fool of himself.

00:35:51.820 I mean, we even found out that the two documents that supposedly, you know, fed into the Clinton conspiracy,

00:35:58.040 that she was the one pushing this actually was Russian disinformation.

00:36:03.260 So, again, they know in the Justice Department that this is all B.S.

00:36:10.540 What's going on here?

00:36:12.400 Well, first of all, Joe, I think this is a desperate attempt to distract.

00:36:16.060 This is playing politics.

00:36:17.600 This is reviving old conspiracy theories.

00:36:22.940 To talk about this, the timing here is illuminating.

00:36:26.320 This, of course, comes back to the headlines.

00:36:29.220 All right.

00:36:29.920 I think you get the point.

00:36:31.420 It's enough to make you pull your hair out.

00:36:34.400 It's too much to take.

00:36:36.160 The misdirection has all been from the left.

00:36:39.920 That's why they're all being subpoenaed as of last week and breaking news today.

00:36:46.220 And we're going to get to the bottom of it.

00:36:48.220 And so we have one of the best experts on the CIA, Sam Faddis, with us right now.

00:36:53.740 And I just wanted him to react.

00:36:56.020 But, you know, we all get upset.

00:36:58.260 You get emotional.

00:36:59.540 We the war room and the the base gets, you know, just totally frustrated.

00:37:07.260 Now the goods are coming in.

00:37:08.880 And so it's time to take action on our part, too.

00:37:11.840 And so I asked Sam to come on and maybe highlight, you know, what are two or three of the major receipts?

00:37:17.380 They say there's nothing there in the war room.

00:37:21.080 We need to have just two or three receipts that we can just go to just our go to talking points for our neighbors, our friends, the church group.

00:37:28.200 Write an op ed in the paper.

00:37:29.680 And so, Sam, how do you react to that clip?

00:37:33.700 And what would you encourage the war room to do to take action on this?

00:37:38.680 Because this is the biggest conspiracy in American history that I know of.

00:37:42.620 I can't think of anything greater coming from potentially two presidents of the United States on down through all the intelligence agencies.

00:37:50.860 Our institutions have been shattered.

00:37:53.280 And so, Sam, take it from there.

00:37:55.060 Thanks for being with us.

00:37:57.140 Well, thanks for having me.

00:37:59.560 I'm smiling and laughing on my end, not because there's anything funny about this, but because, you know, as a CIA guy, I got used to being lied to. 0.97

00:38:07.020 But what always drives me crazy is when people tell me stupid lies and listening to Scarborough, I'm like, for the love of God, buddy, did they surgically remove your integrity? 0.98

00:38:18.940 What's happening here? 1.00

00:38:20.860 Yeah, let's grab let's grab three things.

00:38:23.800 I mean, there's a lot of them.

00:38:25.640 One, and I get it that people this has been going on for so many years and there's so much disinformation, it's hard to sort out.

00:38:32.720 So three things, first of all, the whole Russiagate nonsense, the whole is was a lie, was a deliberate lie from the beginning.

00:38:46.260 The whole idea that Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump were in bed together and the Russians were supporting him and all of that was a lie.

00:38:57.040 So it was not, this is not a question of negligence, incompetence, somebody wasn't doing their job just right.

00:39:07.000 They believed questionable information.

00:39:10.880 A dossier was created by a guy who was hired indirectly, but hired by Hillary Clinton's campaign via her law firm.

00:39:23.820 So Hillary Clinton commissioned a completely bogus dossier, investigation, let's use that term very broadly, to create a complete fiction. 1.00

00:39:38.020 This is trash. 1.00

00:39:39.420 It always was trash. 0.99

00:39:41.740 In the normal course of business, the Central Intelligence Agency and the FBI would have never looked at this, would have never given it credence. 0.97

00:39:50.780 The sourcing was non-existent and the obvious motivation, the political motivation, just reeked of this.

00:40:00.940 So nobody unintentionally through negligence, through bad practice, ran with this.

00:40:08.900 It was deliberate.

00:40:09.900 It was a conspiracy from day one for the specific purpose of throwing and impacting a presidential election.

00:40:21.780 Second, laptop.

00:40:23.400 Yeah.

00:40:23.600 And first, hey, Sam, on that one.

00:40:25.300 Yes, sir.

00:40:25.700 On that first point, just let us know, because we're not experts in the CIA and this analysis and all this processes they use.

00:40:33.540 How far down did this go?

00:40:34.960 Was this just a few people at the top of the CIA, you know, that kind of, by analogy, the FBI and whoever else, the intelligence agencies?

00:40:43.720 Or did this go, did, was there awareness going down the ranks a bit?

00:40:48.940 Well, it had to be awareness going down the ranks a bit.

00:40:51.380 What's the exact number?

00:40:52.480 I don't know.

00:40:53.580 Does that mean the entire organization was in on it?

00:40:56.060 Not what I'm saying.

00:40:56.920 But you're not going to find that two people at the top did all this all by themselves.

00:41:05.900 That's not the way this functioned.

00:41:09.940 And that will, I think, be to the benefit of people like Tulsi Gabbard and now the DOJ, because what you'll find is that there are, I don't know, a couple of dozen folks anyway who were on the inside of this.

00:41:24.780 And some of them will now realize what they were on the inside of, and it'll be time to jump ship, right, which is what you need to prosecute this.

00:41:33.960 The second thing I would say, you know, in terms of receipts, the laptop, this entire supposed controversy, is the thing real or not?

00:41:43.840 Again, there was never any controversy.

00:41:46.360 I looked at the thing very, very early on at Steve's request.

00:41:50.780 It was apparent to me within five minutes the thing was legit.

00:41:54.240 And there are a million reasons for that, but it just would have been impossible to fabricate and have it stand up to scrutiny.

00:42:00.840 But we also know the Bureau contacted Apple almost immediately and confirmed the laptop was Hunter's.

00:42:10.040 And they also confirmed that it was being backed up to the cloud as is normal, and therefore they confirmed that the contents were legit.

00:42:18.820 So they weren't confirming just that the hardware, as originally sold, was sold to Hunter.

00:42:26.340 They confirmed that, yeah, that's everything on there is what he has been backing up, obviously, automatically for however long he'd had the laptop.

00:42:37.520 So, again, there was never the entire idea that there was a question about this, that the Russians had created it, was, again, a fabrication, whole cloth. 0.67

00:42:50.500 And all the people at the top conducting the investigation or looking at this knew that.

00:42:57.600 So, again, a complete, absolute lie.

00:43:01.600 They knew there was never any question.

00:43:04.200 The laptop is real.

00:43:06.420 Third thing I would highlight, just to grab a hold of something.

00:43:08.780 Hey, Sam, let me hold right there.

00:43:11.160 We've got 30 seconds to break.

00:43:12.500 Sam Faddis, two down, one to go, right?

00:43:15.860 The Steele dossier, Hillary campaign goes through our intelligence agency.

00:43:20.280 Second, the laptop, absolutely 100% confirmed evidence.

00:43:24.580 So, you know, NBC, MSNBC, if you're watching.

00:43:27.760 There's two receipts.

00:43:28.820 The third one to come with the great Sam Faddis.

00:43:31.180 Stay tuned to the War Room.

00:43:34.180 And we're going to cover it all today.

00:43:35.860 Breaking news.

00:43:37.460 Huge.

00:43:38.020 Stay tuned to the War Room.

00:43:39.120 According to the Department of Energy, blackouts could increase by 10,000% over the next few years.

00:43:44.660 It's because of massive energy demand from artificial intelligence data centers.

00:43:49.360 We talk about that all the time here in the War Room.

00:43:52.220 And we have a fragile power grid.

00:43:54.280 It just cannot keep up with that demand.

00:43:56.660 I don't know about you, but I don't like the idea of being without power, even for a day.

00:44:00.760 That's why I got the Grid Doctor 3300 from MyPatriotSupply.

00:44:05.680 It's a powerful solar generator that runs refrigerators, AC units, medical devices, power tools, anything you need to write out a blackout.

00:44:14.620 And right now, for their Christmas in July event, they're including over $1,000 in free survival gear with your generator.

00:44:23.380 Including emergency food supply, water filtration, survival tools, and more.

00:44:28.340 You heard that right.

00:44:29.320 Over $1,000 in free gear for a limited time.

00:44:33.300 Head to MyPatriotSupply.com slash Bannon.

00:44:36.140 That's MyPatriotSupply.com slash Bannon.

00:44:39.180 And grab the Christmas in July bundle before it's gone.

00:44:42.840 Blackouts are coming.

00:44:44.640 Go to MyPatriotSupply.com slash Bannon and get prepared today.

00:44:49.780 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

00:44:55.040 All right.

00:44:55.820 Dave Brat back in the war room with the great Sam Fattis, CIA operative analyst.

00:45:01.480 Very lucky to have people of this caliber with us in the war room, along with the Oxford Don, Stephen K. Bannon, who's a master across all these areas as well.

00:45:14.060 And so put these to memory, folks.

00:45:17.700 Sam just laid out the first two big points.

00:45:20.320 Pam Bondi yesterday directed the Justice Department to grand jury investigations of the Obama administration.

00:45:29.480 Brennan, Clapper, Comey.

00:45:31.960 Put that to memory.

00:45:34.120 Write articles on this stuff.

00:45:36.120 The average person still is not aware of any of this, unfortunately.

00:45:40.180 This is a fairly sophisticated, high-level analysis that the war room posse gets, but most people don't.

00:45:47.480 And so it doesn't do any good to go yell at everybody.

00:45:50.280 Just explain these facts.

00:45:52.240 Share them in a factual way.

00:45:54.560 And so, Sam, you led us through the first two big receipts that we have, the Steele dossier and then secondly, laptop, the Biden laptop that goes along with the money to the big man.

00:46:07.120 And what's the third receipt the folks in the war room can share with friends and neighbors?

00:46:12.120 So, look, I looked at the laptop very early on, given unfettered access to it.

00:46:18.160 I had a copy of the hard drive for a very long time and spent way more time than I would have liked going through it.

00:46:26.300 What do you learn when you look at the laptop?

00:46:28.200 Hunter can't find his trousers on a good day.

00:46:30.860 Hunter eats Viagra like peanuts and he snorts Coke by the kilo.

00:46:34.940 But more to the point, what do you see?

00:46:37.980 You see that the Biden crime family was taking millions and millions of dollars from pretty much every thug on the planet.

00:46:45.280 But beyond everything, above everything, they took more money from the Chinese than anybody else. 0.64

00:46:53.320 And not just from the Chinese, from individuals who were Chinese intelligence officers, Chinese spies.

00:47:02.700 Best estimate I've seen, $31 million.

00:47:05.380 Okay, spies don't give you money because they like you and they don't give you money because they hope you might think kindly of them.

00:47:17.300 It is a hard business.

00:47:19.360 When you take tens of millions of dollars from Chinese intelligence officers, obviously something is coming back the other way.

00:47:27.860 So back to the issue of the laptop and covering it up.

00:47:32.780 American counterintelligence and intelligence officers see this laptop.

00:47:38.040 They know it is real almost immediately and they can see all that same data, which means we had a guy at that point running for president of the United States compromised by, owned by Chinese intelligence potentially.

00:47:52.720 And their decision was not to turn on the red lights, sound the siren and, you know, and immediately dive into this.

00:48:02.180 It was to cover the whole thing up and tell the American people nothing to see here.

00:48:09.300 Greatest counterintelligence threat potentially in our history.

00:48:12.700 And they just walked on and buried the thing.

00:48:16.140 Yep, point three, Sam.

00:48:21.980 Point three is American counterintelligence decided to bury the fact that we were looking at a real Manchurian candidate in Joe Biden.

00:48:32.940 Wow.

00:48:34.200 Wow.

00:48:36.640 Unbelievable.

00:48:37.840 Now, you know, the war room, we get depressed with this kind of news.

00:48:43.060 Are our institutions recoverable and what, you know, in a minute or so, how do we recover trust in these institutions?

00:48:52.180 What would you recommend?

00:48:53.920 What do we need?

00:48:54.960 We need accountability, which is what everybody in MAGA asks for all day, every day.

00:49:00.340 Right.

00:49:00.840 You can't charge John Brennan with perjury, which, you know, a misdemeanor charge.

00:49:06.500 Give him a traffic ticket.

00:49:07.620 People have to be charged, tried, convicted, go to prison for felony level offenses.

00:49:15.860 We need to.

00:49:16.840 This was an ongoing conspiracy and an attempted coup.

00:49:21.800 And it has to be dealt with as such.

00:49:25.740 Yeah, outstanding.

00:49:27.160 Sam, how do people follow you and, you know, get the points you just made, stuff, receipts we can share with each other, with the press, et cetera?

00:49:37.600 Go to AND Magazine and Substack, anddmagazine.substack.com.

00:49:43.860 And look, you can search there and you can see that we've been writing about all of these issues for several years now.

00:49:51.040 So, and everything we write has references, embedded links.

00:49:56.000 I'm not asking you to take it on faith.

00:49:57.700 Do your own research.

00:49:58.800 Follow it up.

00:49:59.400 Right.

00:49:59.880 Right.

00:50:00.760 Very good.

00:50:01.340 Thank you.

00:50:01.700 Thank you, Sam, for being with us and for your life's work and for what you're doing with the war room.

00:50:06.660 God bless you.

00:50:08.160 All right.

00:50:08.680 We're turning over to Texas redistricting.

00:50:12.220 We have Chaplain Rich Stoglin with us.

00:50:15.000 We're going to do a cold open with the pastor, and then we'll get to him.

00:50:22.760 Texas House is expected to come back about 1 o'clock Central Time, 2 o'clock Eastern Time.

00:50:27.840 When they gaveled in yesterday, that's when it was official that the Democrats had broken the quorum here by fleeing the state.

00:50:34.500 We expect that to continue today.

00:50:37.280 We are about halfway through this 30-day special legislative session, about two weeks left in it, so they would have to stay away to at least kill the redistricting bill during this session.

00:50:48.000 But a reminder that the governor here in Texas can simply call another special session, put the redistricting bill back on that schedule, and that all of this would start all over again.

00:50:58.960 That's why there's so many questions swirling around whether or not and how long the Democrats are willing to stay away from the state to block this measure.

00:51:07.240 But what is interesting, as you talk about there in the lead-in, that one of the things that we heard from Democrats over and over in the days leading up to them leaving the state is that what they hoped would happen is that this would ratchet up pressure,

00:51:21.080 intensify pressure on other states, and spread the word about what is happening here in Texas, and that other states, Democratic states, would follow suit.

00:51:31.020 And that was one of the things that several Democrats had told us leading up to yesterday's quorum break, that they had hoped to see that that would be one of their goals in leaving the state and trying to—

00:51:44.020 All right, that's great.

00:51:46.360 We got Chaplain Rich Stoglin with us.

00:51:48.740 Rich, we got a minute on this side of the break, and so give us your initial reaction.

00:51:52.800 What's the latest news breaking, and what are you guys doing down there in Texas?

00:51:56.380 The great state of Texas deserves redistricting the precincts, all of these districts that these people claim that they care so much about.

00:52:07.080 They're horrible.

00:52:08.300 They're terrible.

00:52:09.220 And we've got to make changes.

00:52:10.720 Time is now.

00:52:12.660 Very good.

00:52:13.200 Hey, Chaplain, we're going to go to Representative Harrison as well with you after the break.

00:52:18.380 How do people get you in 20 seconds?

00:52:21.340 Rich Stoglin at Yahoo.com.

00:52:23.980 All right, very good.

00:52:25.300 Look up the chaplain.

00:52:26.720 We're going to be right back with the chaplain and then Representative Harrison from Texas to bring us up to date.

00:52:32.080 This is crucially important for the Trump agenda, for Trump policy to take place.

00:52:37.980 So stay with the war room.

00:52:40.140 Texas should be a no-brainer, right?

00:52:43.080 Trump wins it by 14 percent, and we're having issues in Texas.

00:52:47.040 No good.

00:52:48.080 Stay tuned.

00:52:48.780 Let's fix it.
