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
0.96
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,
1.00
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
1.00
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
1.00
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
1.00
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
0.84
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.
0.97
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
1.00
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
0.86
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
00:16:08.420
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,
00:16:58.920
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
00:18:00.120
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.
0.96
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
00:18:44.440
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
00:18:58.000
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
00:19:19.260
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
0.99
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.
0.96
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?
00:23:51.980
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
0.99
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
0.61
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

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

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,
0.98
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
0.98
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.
00:42:41.520
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

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.

00:48:07.300
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
1.00
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,
1.00
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.
0.93
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
00:52:59.940
By the way, Steve, I am in the beautiful city of Chicago. I will be looking for rogue Texas
1.00
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
00:53:36.000
Just army with a few dirty martinis and I am ready to go.
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
00:54:10.620
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
00:54:48.680
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
00:55:57.220
