Transcript

00:00:00.000 see it as bad as it is, because I think it's a horrible thing. Yeah, behind you, please.
00:00:04.380 Mr. President, thank you. Can you speak to just how, you know, this drop-off in foreign-born workers
00:00:10.060 is going to benefit Americans, and will it force American companies to pay fairer wages to American
00:00:15.560 workers? Well, we want to take care of our American workers, and first and foremost, and that's what
00:00:21.020 we're doing. We also want to help our farmers, because our farmers are producing like never
00:00:26.220 before. We have to help them, and we're working out some very complicated strategies and language, but
00:00:31.920 the main thing that I think I was elected to do is to get the illegals out of our country,
00:00:39.540 who are especially, in particular, criminals. 11,888 murderers were allowed into our country
00:00:47.400 with Biden's open border policy, with our border czar, who never spoke to the border patrol, never
00:00:52.820 went to the border one time. That's Kamala. And think of it. We have murderers. We have people
00:01:00.240 coming in from all countries all over the world, from prisons, from prisons in the Congo and Africa,
00:01:05.740 from prisons all over South America, all over rough parts of Europe, all over Asia. They're pouring
00:01:12.460 into our country. Not anymore. So we just announced we had our third consecutive month where we were
00:01:18.780 rated zero people. And these are, frankly, very liberal people that make up these charts. So I don't
00:01:24.780 know what's wrong with them. They seem to not be doing their job for the Democrats. But I'm honored
00:01:30.920 by the fact that they say we're very tough on the border. And people can come into our country, but they
00:01:36.000 have to come in legally. So I think that we've done an amazing job, actually. But we want, we have to get
00:01:44.240 the criminals out of our country, murderers, drug dealers, gang members. They emptied prisons into
00:01:50.640 our country. It's one of the reasons I think, even beyond the economy, it's one of the reasons I got
00:01:55.060 elected. It's really maybe the number one. It was between the economy and that. But, you know, as I said
00:02:00.580 before, our nation is doing really well. But we have to get these really bad people. They should have
00:02:04.680 never been allowed in our country. Open border policy is for fools. We're the only country in the
00:02:10.420 world with an open borders policy. But we don't have that anymore. We had zero now for three
00:02:15.780 months in a row. Peter? Thank you very much, President Trump. Nice to see you got off the
00:02:19.500 roof all right. Yeah, yeah. You said this morning that you probably won't be running for a third
00:02:25.280 term. This weekend, Secretary of State Rubio said that he thought J.D. Vance would be a great
00:02:31.380 nominee. You could clear the entire Republican field right now. Do you agree that the heir apparent
00:02:38.300 to MAGA is J.D. Vance? Well, I think most likely, in all fairness, he's the vice president. I think
00:02:44.020 Marco is also somebody that maybe would get together with J.D. in some form. I also think we
00:02:50.640 have incredible people, some of the people on the stage right here. So it's too early, obviously,
00:02:55.020 to talk about it. But certainly, he's doing a great job. And he would be probably favorite at this
00:03:00.840 point. And on Texas, if Texas redrawing their congressional map would get you five safe red
00:03:09.320 seats, means that California, New York, Illinois, and Maryland are all going to redraw their maps
00:03:15.740 to add safe... Well, they'll do it anyway. Is it worth it? Yeah, they'll do it anyway. Why,
00:03:20.700 if we stop over there? They would have done it anyway. Look, a lot of these states, you know,
00:03:24.800 I watched this morning as Democrats are complaining, and they're complaining from states where they've done
00:03:29.560 it, like in Illinois, like in Massachusetts. I watched this lunatic, Pocahontas. She's a total
00:03:36.040 lunatic. I don't know what she's on. She's all jumping up and down, like I've never seen anything
00:03:40.040 like it, talking about supporting the communist mayor. And he's not a socialist. He's a communist,
00:03:46.840 okay? This is not a socialist mayor. This is a communist. If you look at any of his policies
00:03:51.760 and go back six months, you don't have to go back further than that. So they want to put a
00:03:57.400 communist in New York. Now, the good news is we have a lot of power over that because we're the
00:04:01.840 ones with the money. We send the money. We don't send the money. It's up to the White House. A lot
00:04:06.100 of power in the White House. But when I watched her jumping up and down, talking about that and
00:04:11.300 supporting the communists, but if you look at what's going on with the redistricting or whatever
00:04:18.400 you want to call it, the Democrats have done it long before we started. They've done it all over the
00:04:23.700 place. They did it in New York. They did it in a lot of different states. But in Massachusetts,
00:04:28.580 so somebody used this as an example today. I was interviewed this morning, and they said,
00:04:34.520 you know, it's pretty unfair. Trump got 40 percent. I'm not proud of that, but I think I probably got
00:04:40.420 more, but that's okay. I got 40 percent in Massachusetts, and yet they have 100 percent of the
00:04:44.860 vote in terms of Congress. So there's no Republican. There's no anything. So we should have 40 percent.
00:04:51.420 You know why? They redistricted, and they've done it all over the place, and they've done it in
00:04:56.300 California, by the way. Before this, they've done it in California. So we'll see what happens. We have
00:05:00.980 a wonderful governor in Texas. He feels strongly about it. It's going to be up to him. I think
00:05:06.240 there's tremendous support for it. And, you know, we've watched the Democrats destroy our country in
00:05:13.500 four years. They've destroyed between their open borders that we talked about, transgender for
00:05:18.740 everybody. All of the horrible things that they've done, high taxes, horrible medical provision for
00:05:26.460 people. We've watched them destroy our country for four years, and people don't want that. And
00:05:32.840 people in Texas, as you saw, I got the highest vote in the history of Texas. I love Texas. Texas
00:05:38.140 likes me, obviously. But I got the highest vote, and that was checked out on the show. Did you see
00:05:42.980 that, where they checked it out? They said he actually did get the highest vote in the history of
00:05:46.560 Texas, which disappointed them. They were very disappointed to hear that. But Texas is a place
00:05:53.520 that's done very well with a free enterprise kind of an attitude, with the exact opposite of what's
00:05:59.620 happening in New York with a communist mayor. And they know what they're doing, and they're doing
00:06:04.340 the right thing. Yeah. Two questions for you. Mr. President, thank you. Texas Senator John Cornyn.
00:06:12.080 Texas Senator John Cornyn is asking for your help to force Democrats back to the state,
00:06:16.280 and hold them accountable. Do you want the federal government and the FBI to help locate and arrest
00:06:21.640 these Texas Democrats who have left the state? Well, I think they've abandoned the state. Nobody's
00:06:26.520 seen anything like it, even though they've done it twice before. And in a certain way,
00:06:31.740 it almost looks like they've abandoned the state. It looks very bad. Yeah, go ahead, please.
00:06:35.240 Should the FBI get involved? Should the FBI get involved?
00:06:37.120 Well, they may have to. They may have to. No, I know they want them back. Not only
00:06:40.600 the attorney general, the governor wants them back. If you look, I mean, the governor of Texas
00:06:47.340 is demanding they come back. So a lot of people are demanding they come back. You can't just sit
00:06:52.560 it out. You have to go back. You have to fight it out. That's what elections are all about. Yeah,
00:06:56.420 please. Thank you so much, President Trump. Two questions for you. One, did you, were you aware of,
00:07:00.820 and did you personally approve the prison transfer for Ghislaine Maxwell that your Justice Department
00:07:05.660 I didn't know about it at all. No, I read about it just like you did. And do you believe that she
00:07:09.840 is not a very uncommon thing? Do you believe that she's credible to be listening to your deputy
00:07:14.860 attorney general sat down with her recently? Well, he's let me tell you, he's a very talented man.
00:07:20.100 His name is Todd Blanch. He's a very legitimate person, very high. I just have very highly thought of
00:07:27.640 person, respected by everybody. And I didn't talk to him about it, but I will tell you that
00:07:33.720 whatever he asked would be totally appropriate. And it's not an uncommon thing to do that.
00:07:38.860 And I think he probably wants to make sure that, you know, people that should not be involved or
00:07:44.420 aren't involved or not hurt by something that would be very, very unfortunate, very unfair to a lot of
00:07:49.940 people. But I will say this. Todd Blanch is one of the most highly respected people you'll ever meet.
00:07:55.260 So I know this. I didn't discuss it with him, but anything he talked about with her or the fact that
00:08:01.180 he did that, not unusual, number one. And most importantly, is something that would be totally
00:08:07.420 above board. Please. Yeah, please. Go ahead. Thanks, Mr. President. Mr. President, how much more would you
00:08:16.720 like Doge to cut from the federal government? Well, it's not so much Doge anymore. And by the way,
00:08:21.720 I have to say that somebody from Doge was very badly hurt last night. You saw that a young man who
00:08:26.880 was beat up by a bunch of thugs in D.C. And either they're going to straighten their act out in the
00:08:32.940 terms of government and in terms of protection, or we're going to have to federalize and run it the
00:08:37.480 way it's supposed to be run. But it's not a question of Doge. We have great people, secretaries
00:08:42.700 and all, working with Doge and cutting with a, I said, with a scalpel as opposed with an axe.
00:08:48.480 There's cutting with a fine-tooth comb and they're getting rid of people that aren't doing their job
00:08:53.760 or bad people or bad things, bad policy, et cetera, et cetera. And I think we've been very successful in
00:08:59.480 that. And there's more cutting to do, but there's also more getting. We want smart people in government.
00:09:06.080 Our country is doing great. I think we are doing probably,
00:09:09.420 maybe in many ways better than we've ever done before. You know, we're taking in trillions,
00:09:14.320 not billions, trillions and trillions of dollars from other countries who for years took advantage
00:09:20.000 of us. They took advantage of the United States like we were children. And that's not happening
00:09:24.960 anymore. Now they're paying a lot of money and they're paying hundreds of billions of dollars,
00:09:29.460 individual countries paying hundreds of billions of dollars. You're seeing what everybody else is
00:09:34.620 seeing. And we have a lot of things we can do. You know, one of the questions asked of me this
00:09:40.060 morning is, are you going to make a dividend to the people? And the purpose of what I'm doing is
00:09:44.820 primarily to pay down debt, which will happen in very large quantity. But I think there's also a
00:09:50.540 possibility that we're taking in so much money that we may very well make a dividend to the people
00:09:55.780 of America. Thank you all very much. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you, Mr. President.
00:10:10.480 Okay, thank you. Do I have my microphone? Thank you very much. Stephen K. Bannon here at the War Room.
00:10:18.180 I want to thank Eric Bolling, President of the United States. I believe that is the new,
00:10:22.000 one of the new briefing rooms they're setting up over in the EOB. I really like it. I like the
00:10:29.840 camera angle. I like the shot. Particularly, I like the fact they've solved the problem that we've
00:10:34.580 trying to solve for a while. And that is each reporter has a microphone so you can hear the
00:10:38.480 full question to the president because they're always trying to trip him up. We've got a cold up
00:10:43.560 and we also have Ken Paxton and Brian Harrison about the situation in Texas as the redistricting.
00:10:49.080 We told you the redistricting was going to be a firestorm and it has engulfed the nation politically
00:10:55.920 from California to Illinois to New York to up to Boston, also Florida. And the railhead of that
00:11:02.320 is in Texas, Ken Paxton. People, he's been called to call out the FBI, to request the FBI to round
00:11:10.160 these guys up. I think two of the actual Democrats, because I think you're seeing the dam break a little
00:11:16.300 bit, but we've got to keep pressure on. A couple of the Democrats showed up. Brian Harrison will be
00:11:20.460 here. Julie Kelly is going to be here to talk about subpoenas issued today in the House, actually put
00:11:26.800 the dates of when people are supposed to show up. So much going on on the seditious conspiracy
00:11:35.380 against the president of the United States, both in the House and in the courts, and also the
00:11:42.020 situation in Texas. We've got so much more. We've got capital markets, national security,
00:11:46.220 all of it. Alex Marlowe, the editor-in-chief of Breitbart, is going to be here to talk about
00:11:51.540 weaponization of the system against President Trump. Also, news today, it looks like two banks,
00:11:57.540 I think it was J.P. Morgan and one of the other big banks, J.P. Morgan, actually debanked President
00:12:03.940 Trump at the request of the Biden administration. President Trump's going to get all over that.
00:12:09.060 You just saw President Trump signing an executive order about security for the Olympics. Let's go
00:12:13.400 ahead and play the cold open. And as soon as that's finished, I'll try to bring in Ken Paxton. We have
00:12:17.580 Attorney General Paxton set up. You're in the war room. Let's let it rip.
00:12:21.780 It's all gerrymandered. And we have an opportunity in Texas to pick up five seats. We have a really
00:12:27.120 good governor and we have good people in Texas. And I won Texas. And we are entitled to five more seats.
00:12:33.700 This Texas standoff over redrawing election maps is having a domino effect across the nation.
00:12:39.060 A handful of Republican held states are considering similar moves to secure a more workable House
00:12:44.840 majority for President Trump. Now, the 1965 Voting Rights Act signed by President Johnson
00:12:49.680 prohibits redistricting if it will have a racially discriminatory impact. That's exactly what could
00:12:57.180 happen in Austin, home of the LBJ Presidential Library, memorializing the act's signing. Downtown
00:13:03.440 Austin could be redrawn into a rural GOP leaning area stretching nearly four hours east, jeopardizing
00:13:10.680 the impact of black and Latino voters in the surrounding communities. Here in my home city
00:13:15.960 of Austin, they are trying to chop up certain parts of our city to be out in West Texas or out on the
00:13:22.500 coast, an eight hour drive. These maps are just nuts. But what is worst about it is that the way they are
00:13:30.160 trying to give Trump more protection and more seats is by diluting the votes of working class communities
00:13:37.740 and communities of color. And in my home city of Austin, if Donald Trump is able to suppress Latino
00:13:44.120 voters here in Austin, pretty soon he'll take that ploy across America. Trump has already said that he wants to
00:13:50.320 go and gerrymander Ohio and then Missouri. And we can't let that happen because voters should be able
00:13:57.580 to hold Trump accountable for his corruption and crimes. Trump is trying to make sure that he rigs
00:14:02.920 the midterm election before we ever get to cast a vote. Democrats who've left the state to block a vote
00:14:08.200 on redistricting say they're prepared to stay out of Texas, quote, as long as it takes. The state's
00:14:14.900 attorney general, Ken Paxton, today announced he would seek a court ruling to declare Democrats' seats
00:14:21.120 vacant if they're not back by Friday. In a statement, Paxton wrote this, quote, if you don't show up to work,
00:14:27.180 you get fired. Does the governor have a leg to stand on here?
00:14:32.660 Well, they're going to try the legal process here, which they hadn't done in the last time that this was
00:14:39.140 happened. So Democrats do not feel that the Republicans on this legal fight to remove them
00:14:46.380 from office have a leg to stand on. Many of them have told us that they believe these are simply hollow
00:14:51.080 threats. But come Friday, it sounds like the attorney general is going to begin to attempt that process
00:14:57.960 through the courts. But we haven't heard even since that statement to any kind of indication that
00:15:04.380 that's going to change the dynamic here in what Democrats are going to do. What we've kept hearing
00:15:09.320 is that they're willing to stay as long as it takes. And, you know, what exactly that means is
00:15:15.800 still very much up in the air. There's two weeks left in this special legislative session so they
00:15:20.620 could stay through the end of that. I think I heard one Democratic lawmaker saying they could plan
00:15:25.460 on staying two weeks, get to the end of the session, kill this redistricting bill for this one
00:15:29.900 particular session. The governor would very likely call another one so that all of this would just
00:15:34.360 continue going. But it does seem to kind of indicate an escalation of the Republicans talking
00:15:40.080 about punishing the Democrats for all of this. And you also saw and we've heard from Senator John
00:15:45.740 Cornyn, who's released a letter that he sent to the FBI director urging federal authorities to get
00:15:52.240 involved in the search for the Democrats, where we all know they're in or most of them are in Chicago.
00:15:57.960 So, again, you know, some more escalation in terms of the rhetoric that we continue to see
00:16:04.200 around this issue.
00:16:08.420 This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on
00:16:16.700 these people. I got a free shot. All these networks lying about the people. The people have had a
00:16:23.560 belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything in the world to
00:16:27.480 stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen. And where do people like that
00:16:31.020 go to share the big line? MAGA media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a
00:16:39.060 conscience. Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country,
00:16:47.200 this country will be saved.
00:16:50.180 War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K.
00:16:53.260 Bannon.
00:16:58.920 Tuesday, 5 August, Year of Our Lord, 2025. Welcome to the late afternoon, early evening edition of the
00:17:05.040 War Room. And yes, the country politically is on fire. It's about redistricting. The railhead of that
00:17:10.400 happens to be the great state of Texas. The Attorney General, Ken Paxson, joins us. So,
00:17:15.540 Attorney General Paxson, we had you on very early in this before it really got kicked off. What's the
00:17:21.020 state of play? You've got these members of the House. They're up in Illinois. They're being
00:17:28.380 funded by Soros and other people that have got them up there. You're saying, I think, putting a
00:17:34.380 word out, hey, if you're not back here by Friday, I'm going to move. I'm going to court to vacate the
00:17:38.800 chair. You've also got other officials that are requesting you to go and talk to the FBI,
00:17:44.020 getting the FBI. Just give us the state of play of what's happening, and particularly a solution
00:17:48.760 from these cowardly, radical House Democrats shirking their duty and hiding in Illinois where
00:17:57.340 you have hard work to do down in Texas.
00:18:00.120 Yeah, let me first say this is a state issue. I don't know what the FBI would have to do with
00:18:04.060 this. Nothing. This is a purely state issue. So, we are focused on alternatives that we can
00:18:10.480 implement at the state level. One of those is we can arrest these. So, you will see some action that
00:18:15.400 we will attempt to make those arrests. If that doesn't work, we're also going to give them until
00:18:19.700 Friday because that's the next day that the legislature meets to show up on Friday. If they
00:18:25.160 don't, then we are going to file motions to try to remove some of these legislators from office.
00:18:32.300 So, that's where we're at now. We'll see what happens. At the very least, I guarantee you this,
00:18:36.140 we can outweigh them if these other alternatives don't work, and eventually we'll get the vote
00:18:41.500 that we need.
00:18:44.440 So, Attorney General Paxson, when you say arrest them, are you going to have like the Texas Rangers
00:18:48.800 go to Illinois and arrest these Democrats and bring them back, or do they actually have to be in the
00:18:55.040 state for you to do that?
00:18:58.000 So, Steve, I can tell you in a couple days exactly what that means. I can't tell you right now. It's part
00:19:04.080 of what's going on. So, I would love to be able to tell you the answer to that question, but I have
00:19:10.740 information that I can't share with you yet. But when I can share that, I'd be happy to share it
00:19:16.820 here first.
00:19:19.260 Perfect. Attorney General Paxson, explain, because there's people all over the world now coming to
00:19:24.080 the story, watching the war room, particularly our evening edition. In the country, just waking up,
00:19:29.680 maybe some have been on August vacation, seeing this. People are like, they don't quite get why
00:19:36.320 elected officials, Democratic officials in Texas are hiding in Illinois. What are they trying to
00:19:44.600 prove, and how does this even happen? Because in any other state, it sounds so bizarre as to be kind
00:19:50.380 of something that just normally wouldn't happen.
00:19:52.920 I don't know if I could explain it to a Martian or somebody from another country. It doesn't make a lot
00:19:57.560 of sense that you would leave Texas to go to Illinois because you're mad that supposedly we're
00:20:04.040 gerrymandering lines, when in reality, you're going to Illinois, which has, what, 14 Democrat
00:20:09.820 members of the House and only three Republicans, 82 percent Democrat when the states voted for Kamala
00:20:17.540 52-48. So, it doesn't make a lot of sense, but here we are. The Democrats choose one of the most
00:20:24.340 gerrymandered states. Of course, New York is also that way. I don't know, Massachusetts as well,
00:20:28.920 but clearly a Democratic state. They go there to escape being arrested is, I think, the goal.
00:20:37.700 Now, to vacate, to go to court and to vacate these, first off, do you have to, is there any requirement
00:20:42.500 in the Constitution or on the rules in Texas that you have to notify? Have you actually gone out and
00:20:47.680 individually notified these representatives if they don't show up on Friday, which is the next scheduled
00:20:53.160 session, that you will go to court and move to vacate their seats? Yes. A couple hours ago,
00:21:00.980 we put out a press release notifying all of them that they are subject to this attempt to remove
00:21:07.380 them if they do not show up on Friday. So, they have till Friday. The next time that the House is
00:21:11.880 meeting for, and they need a quorum on Friday, they didn't have it today, will be Friday. And if they do
00:21:17.260 not show up Friday, we will file something and attempt to remove some of these legislators from office.
00:21:23.160 Are you pretty confident that state law, that you'll win in court? Or you think they got some
00:21:29.680 pretty radical judges down in Texas? Do you think that you'll win this in court as you look at it
00:21:34.880 right now? Steve, we're in uncharted territory. This has never been tried. It's an unusual situation
00:21:41.600 where members of the House just disappear. And it's only happened twice. It's happened twice in my
00:21:49.240 career. This is the third time. No one's ever attempted to try to really bring them back. The
00:21:54.160 only attempt made was just to keep calling sessions until they came back. For instance, when I was in
00:21:58.940 the Texas House, we started dealing with redistricting in the regular session, which started
00:22:04.540 in January. We had to go all the way to October before they showed up. So, we outlasted them, but that
00:22:10.440 cost us all 10 and a half months of our lives to get them back into Texas. So, we don't want to have to
00:22:15.720 wait that long. That costs people a lot of time. It costs the taxpayers a lot of money. There's no
00:22:19.600 point in it. These people need to show up and vote, and that's what we're trying to accomplish.
00:22:24.780 Is that what you mean by you'll be able to outweigh them, that eventually you'll keep
00:22:28.900 calling special sessions and they'll have to come back?
00:22:32.860 Yes. I have no doubt that the governor will continue to call special sessions, just as the
00:22:36.940 previous governor did. He kept calling them. We can only call a 30-day special session.
00:22:43.840 When that session ends, the governor calls it the next day, so there's no break. If they want to
00:22:49.300 come back, they're going to be arrested and brought back to vote. That's literally how it's going to
00:22:53.820 work. This map really reflects the changing demographics of Texas. I don't think that
00:23:01.300 message is getting out clearly enough, particularly in the Rio Grande Valley, South Texas. These
00:23:06.480 Hispanic communities or Hispanic counties or congressional districts, which used to be overwhelmingly
00:23:13.580 vote Democrat, have now, they're MAGA and they're America First. They've been voting for Trump.
00:23:19.280 There's an internal logic about these maps that fits in with what the current demographic analysis
00:23:25.380 of Texas is. Number one, why are we not making that point more clearly? And number two, they just
00:23:32.740 asked the president, hey, is this worth it? Because Democrats will be coming in from New York and
00:23:36.960 California. You've inspired Florida, Indiana, Missouri to also follow suit. So first off,
00:23:43.540 doesn't this just show the demographics of the moving, changing demographics of Texas?
00:23:48.560 And is this worth it, this fight worth it?
00:23:51.980 Unlike other states, we have a very different model going. We have not only demographic changes,
00:23:57.160 because Joe Biden brought in all these illegals and actually changed the dynamics of our voting
00:24:02.980 population. But second, we've grown. In the last five years, we've grown more than any other state.
00:24:07.560 We're at 31.34 million people now. We've added several million people in five years because we
00:24:13.600 were the fastest growing state. So not only do we have a changing demographic voting differently,
00:24:18.680 but we also have people moving to our state to different areas that now need representation that
00:24:24.540 didn't need it five years ago. Unlike other states that are not growing or losing people,
00:24:29.860 we actually have to address the fact that our population growth has changed the map for us.
00:24:39.360 And I might note that California, Illinois, and New York, I think all three of them are,
00:24:43.880 particularly California and New York, are big net losers of people and Illinois's net losers of
00:24:47.800 people. People should understand that when those are the three that are blowing back on people,
00:24:51.440 they are losing people like crazy. Where do people go, General Paxson,
00:24:56.980 on social media to keep up with this? Because this is quite fast moving,
00:25:00.860 as I'm sure you appreciate, and people want to keep up with this story moment by moment. Where do they go?
00:25:06.700 At KenPaxsonTX, at KenPaxsonTX, at KenPaxson.com.
00:25:12.760 Attorney General Paxson, thank you very much. Look forward to checking back in with you. Keep fighting.
00:25:17.300 Yeah, we're going to fight. I promise we're going to win this.
00:25:19.040 Thank you, sir. No doubt. We told you this was going to be big, and it's getting to be,
00:25:26.500 it's engulfing the entire political process. Brian Harrison, who kind of initiated all this,
00:25:31.200 joins us. Brian, you put up a tweet, you put up a tweet later, a little earlier, excuse me,
00:25:36.380 no arrest, no convictions, no, no strip, no vacating seats. Where do you think we stand on this,
00:25:43.880 on this Tuesday afternoon? As now, everybody's in it. You saw President Trump just gave a press
00:25:48.220 avail. He got asked, I don't know, four or five questions about this very topic. Where do we stand,
00:25:54.380 sir? Well, we're not in much of a different position than we were five days ago when the
00:25:59.360 Speaker of the Texas House assisted the Democrats with their quorum break by dismissing them
00:26:03.680 voluntarily after being on the floor for seven minutes. So the quorum break was being missed in
00:26:08.240 the media. They're covering this as if we're in really day two, but the actuality is,
00:26:13.880 the quorum break started last Wednesday when the Democrats were here, the maps were filed and in
00:26:18.040 the system, and we had a quorum and the Democrat, sorry, it was the Democrat choice for Speaker,
00:26:23.860 Dustin Burroughs, released the body, released the Democrats to go strategize and plan all this
00:26:28.200 with Hakeem Jeffries last Wednesday night. So the quorum break is really a Republican
00:26:31.880 assisted quarter quorum break that started five days ago. Where we are today to catch folks up,
00:26:38.480 we officially had the non-quorum determined for the first time yesterday. There were about 98 or 93.
00:26:43.360 We need 100 members to have a quorum. We have 88 Republicans. And today we had about 94. So I think
00:26:49.640 we picked up one or two and we lost about one. So look, and those numbers will fluctuate a little
00:26:54.740 bit, but the magic number is 100. But the reality is the Democrats are under increasing pressure because
00:27:00.680 they understand, from Hakeem Jeffries on down, they understand what's at stake. It's no less than the
00:27:07.380 future of this republic. And this, our actions down here may quite literally determine whether
00:27:12.200 the U.S. Congress falls into the hands of the radical extremist socialist Democrats. So the
00:27:16.800 state of Texas has got to do everything we can to make sure that doesn't happen. And I think if we're
00:27:20.480 not going to punish these Democrats, which the Speaker has, at least so far, made clear he's not going to
00:27:25.240 punish them. I mean, we have lots of strong rhetoric. We have arrests, civil arrest warrants that are being
00:27:30.760 signed. But you know what? You know, arrest warrants are good. You know what's better? Arrests. Okay,
00:27:35.800 we've had no arrests. We've had, there's lots of talk about vacating seats. How many seats have been
00:27:40.280 vacated? Zero. How many punishments of any kind have been meted out to these Democrats who flew the
00:27:45.900 state? None. You know, we haven't even taken their chairmanships away. We haven't stripped their titles
00:27:50.860 or their privileges. Hell, we haven't even taken their parking spots away from them. So, you know,
00:27:55.500 color me a little bit skeptical of all the bold talk. You know, bold talk is
00:28:00.640 cheap. Texans want results. And so here's what I'm proposing as of today. If the Democrats are
00:28:07.180 going to play hardball, they shouldn't be the only party fighting this hard for the future. For every
00:28:11.020 week, the Democrats aren't here and we're already in week one. I think we should redraw the maps and
00:28:15.300 add one new Republican congressional seat to our map for every week that they're not here. We need to hit
00:28:19.880 the Democrats where it hurts. And if they're going to play hardball, the Democrats should not be the
00:28:23.980 only one fighting for the future of this country. Texas Republicans need to step up and show America
00:28:28.900 that they know what time it is, too. Brian, can you hang on? I'll take a short commercial break.
00:28:34.500 We ran a little bit over with President Trump's press availability of which he addressed this very
00:28:38.640 issue. Brian Harrison, as usual, throwing down hard and saying, hey, look, guys, you want to play
00:28:45.420 smash mouth? You want to be cute? You want to go to Illinois? OK, fine. For every week you're out
00:28:49.440 next Friday, it's not five seats, it's six seats. You're out the week after that, it's seven seats.
00:28:55.440 You're out the week after eight. Hey, if we've got to take the whole delegation, we'll take the
00:28:58.240 whole delegation. If that's what you're going to do, that's what you're going to do. We're going to
00:29:01.820 return. We've got Brian Harrison, Julie Kelly, Alex Marlowe, Matthew Palumbo for over Dan Bongino's
00:29:08.280 site. He's an expert on Soros. Turns out, I know you're going to be surprised by this,
00:29:12.620 Soros looks like he's a big funder of these folks up in Illinois from Texas. Of course,
00:29:20.080 a lot going on on the seditious conspiracy. Julie Kelly's here to talk about that, both in the House
00:29:25.760 and the courts. She was not a big fan of the Hatch Act. She thought it was a little weak. She's got
00:29:31.700 some other ideas. I think things are grinding through. Alex Marlowe's going to give you the big
00:29:35.240 picture on all this weaponization. Plus, we've got finance to talk about everything. Short

00:30:00.160 This July, there is a global summit of BRICS nations in Rio de Janeiro. The
00:30:05.140 block of emerging superpowers, including China, Russia, India, and Persia, are meeting with the
00:30:11.640 goal of displacing the United States dollar as the global currency. They're calling this the Rio
00:30:17.800 reset. As BRICS nations push forward with their plans, global demand for U.S. dollars will decrease,
00:30:24.000 bringing down the value of the dollar in your savings. While this transition won't not happen
00:30:29.540 overnight, but trust me, it's going to start in Rio. The Rio reset in July marks a pivotal moment
00:30:36.580 when BRICS objectives move decisively from a theoretical possibility towards an inevitable
00:30:42.880 reality. Learn if diversifying your savings into gold is right for you. Birch Gold Group

00:33:09.540 Okay, Warren Posse, we're absolutely packed. We've got, we're down in Texas. First off,
00:33:18.880 Brian Harrison. We've got Brian Harrison. We've got Alex Marlowe, the editor-in-chief of Breitbart,
00:33:22.680 is going to join us about weaponization. We've got the great Julie Kelly about what's happening on the
00:33:28.120 seditious conspiracy charges, both in the House and in the courts of the grand jury.
00:33:34.960 Matthew Palumbo, Dan Bongino's right hand, is going to be with us about Soros now. It's been
00:33:39.560 exposed. Soros is financing a lot of this jailbreak up to Illinois. So, Brian, I love that idea. Every
00:33:47.320 week they're out, but that does take a week. What can happen? You want action. What can actually take
00:33:52.300 place like tomorrow, the next day? Because I think this audience is revved up now. These are the guys
00:33:57.200 been with you from the beginning. We see there's some movement. It's a national story. President
00:34:00.780 Trump has got five questions at his press avail. The whole world's watching here, and the Democrats
00:34:05.900 are playing Smash Mouth. So how are we going to play Smash Mouth back? Yeah, you know, there is one
00:34:12.380 party in Austin, Texas that clearly knows what time it is in America, and unfortunately, it's the
00:34:16.660 Democrat Party. So it's time the Republicans step up and say we're not going to be outplayed,
00:34:21.460 outfoxed, outfought by the Democrats, which unfortunately does happen.
00:34:27.020 Too often here in the cesspool of the Austin Swamp. But I got to real quick give a shout
00:34:30.300 out to the posse because this is one of, if not the biggest stories in the world right
00:34:33.760 now, not just America. And the posse was ahead of the curve. And one of the reasons for that,
00:34:38.080 because the rhino-infested Austin uniparty swamp was up to their usual gamesmanship and
00:34:44.480 tricks just two weeks ago. But I got to give the posse a lot of credit for alerting, you know,
00:34:48.740 sounding the alarm and shooting at the flare ground. And now media all across the globe
00:34:53.140 is focused like a laser on Texas. So yeah, we need to stand up. We need to fight back.
00:34:58.000 And I'll put, I'll set aside for a second the fact that the weak Republican leadership in the
00:35:02.480 state of Texas allowed this to happen. The fact that the Republican Speaker of the Texas House
00:35:06.220 dismissed the Democrats so that they could go and break quorum. Okay, let's set that aside.
00:35:10.420 We are where we are. I want action. So like you said, number one, every week they're gone,
00:35:15.480 we redraw the maps and we add one more Republican congressional seat. But number two, short of that,
00:35:19.920 hit them where it hurts. Every Democrat, reset your seniority. We have Democrats that have been
00:35:25.040 in the Texas House over 50 years. You should see their offices. They're like palatial castles.
00:35:29.280 Okay, around here. Let me tell you what, these politicians, they care about their real estate and
00:35:32.760 their square footage and the drapes in those windows. Take their seniority away, drop them to the bottom
00:35:37.780 of the line, get rid of their seniority, take their staffs away. We can, I think, fire their staffs.
00:35:43.440 That might be a complicated question, but whether we could fire them or not, what I think we could
00:35:47.300 be able to do is strip the money. So even if they can't be fired, they can't be paid. I'm not talking
00:35:53.580 about just the members. I'm talking about their staff. So I want those things gone. Also, Democrats,
00:35:59.920 this is going to shock a lot of people, 60% of the Democrat caucus in the Republican-dominated
00:36:07.480 Texas House has been given leadership positions, vice chairmanships of committees in the Texas
00:36:14.960 House. 60% of these Democrats, because we have corrupt rhino leadership, 60% of them,
00:36:19.920 every single vice chair or co-chair of every committee, gone. Immediately do it right now.
00:36:26.580 And then if I'm the governor or I'm the speaker, if there's any piece of legislation, they should
00:36:31.600 be told right now, as long as I'm the governor or as long as I'm the speaker, if there's a bill
00:36:35.980 that's got your name on it, it will never see the light of day. Republicans need to understand
00:36:41.300 that there is nothing less than the future of these United States of America. The future
00:36:47.360 of the United States Congress is on the line. The future of freedom and liberty, not just
00:36:50.740 in our state, but in our great republic. That's what we're fighting for here. The Democrats
00:36:55.680 understand it. They're acting like it. Republicans in the state of Texas need to stand up and fight
00:37:03.160 back. Right before I leave you, I think you've said, and I just want to make sure it's reiterated
00:37:10.380 about who even the advisors are. You talk about they've given Democrats all these senior leadership
00:37:16.040 positions where they don't rate it. Tell the audience about who some of the advisors that
00:37:20.660 the Republican leadership are leaning on in this fight. And this fight right here is a knife
00:37:26.520 fight. Who are they? I take it they're leaning on the hardest core Texas folks that have been
00:37:32.780 in these kind of fights before. Is that who the advisors are? Can you imagine if the governor
00:37:39.820 of California hired somebody like our good friend, my good friend of a long time, Mike Davis,
00:37:46.320 okay, to be the chief legal advisor to the California General Assembly. Can you imagine
00:37:50.200 if Gavin Newsom hired the viceroy, okay, to be the general counsel of California and chief
00:37:55.120 parliamentary officer? That is exactly what has going on in the state of Texas. Nothing after I
00:38:01.420 stopped working for president Trump after the first term ended and came back to Texas and got elected,
00:38:05.820 nothing could have prepared me for the shock of how much power the Democrats have in Texas. So who
00:38:11.420 is, and no one's going to know the answer to this, but also I'll just tell you the most powerful person
00:38:16.400 in the Texas house is not anybody who's elected. It's the parliamentarian. I know the Senate
00:38:21.780 parliamentarian in DC gets a lot of headlines, but the most powerful person similarly in the Texas house
00:38:26.740 is the Texas house parliamentarian with the stroke of a pen or with just a spoken word. The parliamentarian
00:38:33.240 can help Democrat bills pass or single-handedly kill Republican bills or Republican amendments. Well,
00:38:37.980 who is the parliamentarian, the chief parliamentary officer of the Republican dominated Texas house? He's
00:38:42.700 a guy named Hugh Brady. Who the hell's Hugh Brady? Hugh Brady is a Travis County, which is where Austin is,
00:38:49.000 Democrat party official and get this a former Barack Obama white house lawyer. I'm going to say this one
00:38:57.820 more time, just a little slower. So people can grapple with this. The chief, the most powerful person in
00:39:03.480 the Texas house is a former Barack Obama white house official right now, as we speak, a Barack Obama
00:39:11.300 staffer is advising the speaker on the issue of quorum breaks. It's insane. Uh, before I let you go,
00:39:19.440 we're going to have you back. We're going to track these, uh, about these action items that need to
00:39:23.220 be taken. Um, last question, particularly people coming from to the story late. Now they see it
00:39:29.020 blowing up on local news in New York with Hochul and local news in, in California with Newsom on local
00:39:34.600 news in, in Illinois. This is getting to be the biggest story in the nation. Why do you say the entire
00:39:39.900 future of the Republic rest on what's going to happen in Texas in these other States in the coming
00:39:45.760 days and weeks ahead, sir? Well, let me actually go one step further with you, Steve. I can't even
00:39:50.560 tell you, I am being inundated with media requests from media outlets, not just across Texas, not just
00:39:56.060 across America, but across the world. I just got off with, with BBC and the Telegraph just called me
00:40:01.040 like it is nonstop people across the globe. Now understand what is at stake in this issue. And the
00:40:09.460 reason that I say that it's possibly the future of the country is because we are headed at the
00:40:13.820 national level. Um, not, not withstanding all the great work of president Trump, but for, for the
00:40:19.360 last many years, especially the four years off the Biden administration, we have been heading towards
00:40:24.120 bigger government, more spending, more bureaucracy, more regulations, less freedom, higher taxes, all
00:40:28.060 these bad things that president Trump is trying to fix with the America first agenda. Okay. If we lose
00:40:33.460 this battle in Texas, and if, because we lose the battle in Texas, the house of representatives of the
00:40:39.120 United States Congress falls into the hands of the radical leftist Democrats, like Hakeem Jeffries
00:40:43.360 and Nancy Pelosi and AOC, then the next two years of what short window we may have to save this
00:40:49.160 republic, where president Trump should have a full half of his last term agenda to continue,
00:40:54.880 continue making America great, and growing prosperity and increasing freedom and battling
00:41:01.380 back the left and the deep state and the bureaucratic state, instead of having two more years
00:41:06.640 to stand and lock arms with president Trump so he can pass and achieve the America first agenda to
00:41:12.320 make America great again. We risk two years of nonstop investigations and sham show trial impeachments
00:41:18.380 that could derail, not just things for president Trump personally, but for the policy agenda that
00:41:23.800 affects 300 million Americans and the freedoms and liberty of every single person that calls this
00:41:31.560 country their home and that loves this country and that wants to do everything to defend these blessings
00:41:37.100 of liberty, the generations who before us paid the ultimate price and made the ultimate sacrifices
00:41:43.420 so that us and our kids and grandkids could enjoy the blessings of prosperity and liberty. That is what
00:41:50.180 is on the line and it runs through the state of Texas and we cannot lose here for the future of Texas
00:41:57.280 and the future of America. As goes Texas, so goes America. As goes America, so goes the world. The
00:42:03.420 stakes could not be higher. Brian Harrison, where do folks follow you on Twitter, sir?
00:42:10.780 I have the most hated Twitter feed in all of Austin, I can assure you that. It's
00:42:14.940 at Brian E. Harrison, at Brian E. Harrison on X, at Brian E. Harrison. I have never been yelled at or
00:42:22.520 screamed at on any other topic more than for what I put up on my social media feed because I always
00:42:27.160 say it and you know this, Steve. Transparency is like kryptonite in the swamps, so they hate it.
00:42:34.200 Brother Harrison, thank you so much. Look forward to talking to you tomorrow. Thank you, sir.
00:42:38.180 Good to see you, Steve. Take care, buddy.
00:42:41.520 Julie Kelly, so the other massive story is a seditious conspiracy and we got two, I'm going to
00:42:47.220 bifurcate this. We've got the grand jury and what's happening there and we've got then what's in the
00:42:52.580 house. Let's start the grand jury. You were less than enthusiastic. You put one of your
00:42:56.520 acidic tweets out the other day about the Hatch Act. Just give us an update of where you think
00:43:01.840 this is on the kind of criminal front side and getting down to business and not dealing with
00:43:08.420 things just like the Hatch Act. Are you feeling better in the last 48 hours or where's your head
00:43:12.740 right now? Where is my head? Give me a minute. Let me figure that out. No, I think that the Office of
00:43:21.600 Special Counsel investigation into potential Hatch Act violations by Jack Smith is just a road to
00:43:27.960 nowhere. It doesn't matter. We know that it was election interference. We already know, as you and
00:43:33.380 I have talked about and I reported even as early as last year, collusion between the DOJ and the
00:43:41.620 White House in bringing those two unprecedented criminal indictments against President Trump.
00:43:47.880 So we know that. What even happens if they confirm or believe that he should be charged with a
00:43:54.800 Hatch Act violation? Will anyone be going to prison? No, that's not what I want. Jack Smith and his team
00:44:02.100 of thugs, who Steve, as you know, I more than anyone on this side covered not just the court proceedings,
00:44:09.320 but every motion, every back and forth, all the documents in both of those cases in Washington
00:44:16.280 and Florida. I saw Jay Brett and David Harbach and JP Cooney and what they did in Florida. I saw Tom
00:44:23.060 Windham and Molly Gaston and what they did in Washington along with Judge Chutkin. I don't want
00:44:28.560 them charged with campaigning or interfering in an election. I want them charged for the criminal conduct
00:44:37.240 they engaged in for the better part of two years to deny the president his privacy, his due process
00:44:46.040 rights, and his free speech rights, most importantly, as a political candidate in 2024. That's what I want
00:44:53.480 to see. I don't care about a Hatch Act investigation. Do you get, because we've got the, you know, you've
00:45:01.000 got the whole thing with Russia, you get Brennan. Are you getting comfortable that those types of things
00:45:06.180 are being presented, or as this grand jury's impaneled, that they're hiring the right team, the strike
00:45:11.280 force has the right people, they're foyering the right, they're getting the right information? Are you
00:45:16.360 feeling more comfortable? Give me a minute, I'm holding you through the break. Are you feeling better
00:45:20.140 about that? Short answer is yes, and I can explain why on the other side. Okay, Julie Kelly is with us.
00:45:28.300 Alex Marlow is going to join us. Matthew Palumbo, Dan Bargino's right hand is going to be here. The guy
00:45:34.080 runs the site. He's an expert on the sources, both the old man and the kid, and they've got their long
00:45:40.720 hand involved here, underwriting this fiasco in Illinois. Breaking news out of HHS, I think they've
00:45:50.380 either banned mRNA vaccines or they've downsized them and said they're off. We're going to have Dr. Cole
00:45:56.700 that's going to join us with this massive announcement coming out of Bobby Kennedy's shop.
00:46:01.600 Birchgold.com, the end of the dollar empire right now. We're in a firefight in Brazil. President
00:46:07.580 Trump about Bolsonaro. Bolsonaro just arrested again, unless it's not house arrest. He is in
00:46:12.280 his house, but he's arrested because now they're claiming he's having, you know, he's back of a coup.
00:46:19.080 As you know, it's all about the dollar. Lula's sitting there going, we have to destroy the U.S.
00:46:23.940 dollar, end of the dollar empire. Go to Birchgold.com slash Bannon. Seven free installments.
00:46:30.060 Number eight's on the way. Nine's going to follow that. You get to know Philip Patrick and the team.
00:46:34.420 Short commercial break. Julie Kelly, Alex Marlowe next. According to the Department of Energy,
00:46:39.020 blackouts could increase by 10,000 percent over the next few years. It's because of massive energy
00:46:44.360 demand from artificial intelligence data centers. We talk about that all the time here in the war room.
00:46:49.820 And we have a fragile power grid. It just cannot keep up with that demand. I don't know about you,
00:46:55.860 but I don't like the idea of being without power even for a day. That's why I got the grid doctor
00:47:01.120 3,300 from my patron supply. It's a powerful solar generator that runs refrigerators, AC units,
00:47:08.460 medical devices, power tools, anything you need to write out a blackout. And right now for their
00:47:14.020 Christmas in July event, they're including over $1,000 in free survival gear with your generator,
00:47:21.560 including emergency food supply, water filtration, survival tools, and more. You heard that right.
00:47:27.440 Over a thousand bucks in free gear for a limited time. Head to mypatriotsupply.com slash Bannon.
00:47:34.280 That's mypatriotsupply.com slash Bannon. And grab the Christmas in July bundle before it's gone.
00:47:40.560 Blackouts are coming. Go to mypatriotsupply.com slash Bannon and get prepared today.
00:48:04.320 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:48:07.300 Okay. Julie Kelly. Welcome back. Julie Kelly, you're leaving us on tenterhooks. Your assessment,
00:48:15.260 ma'am, people understand you've been on this for four years in detail. Where do you think we stand?
00:48:23.440 I mean, I think that all of this is very encouraging sign. I don't think that you would have,
00:48:28.160 for example, CIA director John Ratcliffe out on the Sunday shows again this weekend,
00:48:33.600 talking about criminal referrals and the likelihood of criminal charges being brought against some of
00:48:41.160 these perps, including John Braddon, Jim Comey, perhaps Jim Clapper and others. So I just can't see
00:48:49.600 that sort of empty promise being left on the table and expecting Republicans in the Trump administration
00:48:55.820 to get away with it. So I don't view that as an empty promise. And I hope that it's not.
00:49:01.300 I think the subpoenas issued by House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, very interesting
00:49:10.040 to the extent that during these depositions, if they do happen, some of the Russiagate perps,
00:49:16.940 Hillary Clinton, Robert Mueller, even Bill Barr. So we're finding out more and more about his silence
00:49:23.020 and complicity in this whole operation, asking them direct questions about Russiagate. That could
00:49:30.520 be very helpful. If it's only within the confines of the Epstein scandal and three decades of Epstein
00:49:37.000 issues, then we won't get much on Russiagate. However, it does signal, I think, a new aggressive
00:49:43.180 approach by House Republicans to use their power, subpoena power, and other mechanisms to
00:49:51.820 pursue these investigations, make more criminal referrals, work with the Department of Justice
00:49:58.440 and the FBI to get some results. Because look, we've been patient, right? We've all been patient.
00:50:06.960 And we know that these things take time because they do. However, time is ticking. And we are a year
00:50:15.060 away from the official start of the 2026, you know, full swing campaign season. And we don't have a
00:50:23.420 moment to waste it. And I do sense that there is some urgency now at DOJ, CIA, DNI, etc. to get to try to
00:50:34.200 secure some indictments with a few of these figures by the end of the year.
00:50:38.240 Given everything you're covering also with their constant attack on President Trump's Article 2
00:50:46.020 powers, I mean, the bandwidth over DOJ, because it's still relentless, it's maybe, you know,
00:50:51.800 there's still, I think, 175 suits where lawsuits were winning everywhere. I mean, what is your
00:50:57.940 recommendation to Pam Bondi and the senior team over there?
00:51:01.180 I mean, I think they're doing an excellent job as far as they can with this whack-a-mole
00:51:06.700 lawsuit operation from coast to coast. So they're, you know, they only have so many lawyers,
00:51:13.740 they only have so many prosecutors and time and resources. And so this is the idea, though,
00:51:18.920 the idea that the other agenda behind this new front of lawfare against the president is to redirect
00:51:25.700 resources to these silly lawsuits instead of focusing on, you know, rooting out corruption,
00:51:31.980 getting rid of the bad apples, the DOJ, FBI, etc., and gratifying the MAGA base. One reason the
00:51:38.260 president won is that they, we want accountability and consequences for what was done to him,
00:51:43.500 his advisors, people like you, and of course, you know, hundreds of J6ers. So I think ultimately,
00:51:51.540 in most of this, we already see that the lawfare against the president and the administration will
00:51:55.900 fail. We are still waiting for that big decision out of the Ninth Circuit related to the Alien Enemies
00:52:02.780 Act. And my sense is that they are going to include that the president lawfully exercised his authority
00:52:10.320 to issue that proclamation. And that will end up at the Supreme Court. And, you know, that's just one
00:52:18.680 big thing that we're waiting on. But I think these judges have really exposed themselves, Steve. And
00:52:25.700 I think that, you know, I was posting yesterday about Jeb Bosberg and a new piece up on him at my
00:52:30.400 substack, how the D.C. appellate court last week kind of took a shot at him. So, you know, I think even
00:52:39.220 some of the more, shall we say, respectable judges who want to maintain the integrity and reputation of the
00:52:45.340 federal bench have to do some policing of their own.
00:52:52.800 Julie, where do people go to get the substack? This is the way we all keep up with all this breaking
00:52:58.160 news. Where do people go?
00:52:59.940 By the way, Steve, I am in the beautiful city of Chicago. I will be looking for rogue Texas
00:53:05.920 lawmakers. I think they're about 60 miles west of here in St. Charles. But if they show up at Gibson's
00:53:12.540 downtown, I might be right there. Just sending out that warning shot. I'm a subject declassified
00:53:19.500 by Julie with Julie Kelly. And then, of course, ask Julie underscore Kelly, too.
00:53:25.060 I'm going to talk to Ken Paxson right after the show and see if we can't deputize you,
00:53:29.260 Julie, to make a citizen's arrest or make you an honorary member of the Texas Rangers and go down and
00:53:33.840 make an arrest. Julie Kelly.
00:53:36.000 Just army with a few dirty martinis and I am ready to go.
00:53:39.360 You're ready to roll. My kind of gal.
00:53:42.980 Thank you, Julie Kelly. Appreciate you, ma'am.
00:53:44.900 Thank you soon. Thanks. Bye.
00:53:48.520 Alex Marlow, we're going to get into the meat of it in the second hour, but I got to ask,
00:53:52.440 got to put it. When you started this book, did you ever think that the timing would be the
00:53:58.960 absolute perfect timing to drop it, breaking the law, exposing the weaponization of America's
00:54:04.080 legal system against Donald Trump? Did you ever think that it would drop at the perfect time that
00:54:08.820 people would need a primer on this?
00:54:10.620 Yeah, you always fantasize about this. And Steve, thanks so much for doing this with me.
00:54:14.920 My last book was about Joe Biden and I dropped at about 12 hours before the October 7th attack.
00:54:20.180 So I couldn't have timed anything any worse, possibly, for my last book.
00:54:23.840 So, yeah, it does feel good to kind of have a cold shot. But it's a cold shot because it's kind of an
00:54:28.100 obvious shot. This is the war of the moment. You know this firsthand. You've experienced this.
00:54:32.540 You have been politically persecuted for this on a personal level. Your audience knows this
00:54:37.560 better than any group on the planet. And this is not going to stop. This is their path to take
00:54:41.400 back power. They have no other path. Their ideas stink. Their leaders stink. This is it. It's the
00:54:45.860 lawfare. That's what it's all about.
00:54:48.680 It's and it's not just here. It's all over the world. Alex Marlow, the editor and chief of Breitbart
00:54:53.440 News is going to also the host of Breitbart News Radio. The morning show is going to stick around and
00:54:59.440 journalists can get into detail. Also, I wasn't here for the morning show this morning because
00:55:04.280 I was at Danbury Prison meeting one of the inmates that I'm very close to. It was being
00:55:11.040 released after, I don't know, 18 or 20 years in prison. So I was there to meet him today
00:55:15.220 and make sure that he got on his way to his future life. We're going to take a short commercial
00:55:21.000 break. I'm going to leave you with the right stuff. Alex Marlow's got it. This book has it.
00:55:26.220 It's amazing. Also, big announcement at HHS. Dr. Cole is going to join us. The great Matthew
00:55:32.520 Palumbo, who is Dan Bongino and now deputy director of the FBI, the guy that runs his site,
00:55:38.540 was his wingman forever. He knows the sources better than anybody. And their evil head is
00:55:45.040 surfacing and financing this jailbreak with these radical House Democrats. Make sure you
00:55:50.980 go to Birch Gold, text Bannon at 989898. Get the ultimate guide, which happens to be free
