In this episode, Mika and Jason discuss the new U.S. attorney in charge of the Eastern District of Virginia, Lindsey Halligan, and why she s been appointed to the post by President Donald Trump. They also discuss the recent firing of a senior prosecutor in the case against former FBI Director James Comey.
00:11:47.760Well, in that cold – that brilliant cold open put together by our team, you see it.
00:11:51.360Number one is the invasion of our country that is still not – is still not stopped.
00:11:57.420President Trump stopped it at the border 100 percent.
00:12:00.580But we have, I don't know, 10 to 20 million illegal alien invaders that came here on Biden's watch,
00:12:05.860not Biden's watch, just from 20 January 2021 to the day he left the office this past January.
00:12:13.560They have to be removed from the country.
00:12:15.300This is what this whole fight is, whether it's in Chicago or Portland.
00:12:19.200And this No Kings rally this weekend, and of course the execution, implementation, invoking of the Insurrection Act.
00:12:27.740The fight here is just beginning, and of course when the Marxist jihadist is elected,
00:12:37.900I might add, with 30 percent of Jewish people voting for him, at least in Manhattan,
00:12:43.220this fight's only going to metastasize because then the Marxist jihadists are going to control the political apparatus of the financial capital of the world.
00:12:53.160Three meetings today – okay, so Malay is coming at 1 o'clock.
00:12:56.520We're doing a $20 billion bailout of Argentina.
00:13:01.100There's a lot of questions that have to be asked by that.
00:13:03.120I really appreciate that Scott Besson's in front of this.
00:13:05.440But it's a $20 billion bailout of a guy that I've said from day one, never had him on the show,
00:13:11.120never talked to me on the show because I think he's kind of a kook.
00:13:14.520But obviously this is central to hemispheric defense.
00:13:18.080So number one, you have internally, the internal exurrection.
00:17:31.100Over the past 10 years, we stood tall, not just as individuals, but as a family, a family that refused to bend, refused to retreat into the background,
00:17:41.660and refused to let the soul of America be rewritten.
00:17:44.660For the first time in American political history, it wasn't just one man running for office.
00:17:49.700It was a family effort, not because we wanted it that way, but because we had no other choice,
00:17:55.700because at the end of the day, we only had each other.
00:17:58.740And through it all, through every firestorm and every late-night war room, we held on to three things.
00:18:04.620Our love for God, our love for country, and our love for the Constitution.
00:19:16.220We won against the DOJ and the FBI and everybody who is trying to take us down, people who are spying on our campaigns, people who are making up dirty dossiers.
00:19:52.740We were fighting to keep, you know, men out of women's sports.
00:19:55.960We were fighting to end DEI and wokeness that was destroying our companies and our culture in this country.
00:20:03.020We were trying to restore the family values and the American dream and the United States military and everything that makes our nation great.
00:20:57.520And, by the way, this isn't like a conflict where, like, you know, one person's happy and another person's, you know, like, distraught, right?
00:21:03.640Whether you had a victor and you had a, you know, you had a loser.
00:21:07.920This is a conflict where everybody came out of it as winners.
00:21:11.400And the world is coalescing around, you know, around peace and prosperity.
00:21:21.580And the fact that Under Siege is coming out on a day like today, it made every arrow that we took, it made every bullet we took, it made the hundreds of millions of dollars that we had to spend in legal fees to defend ourselves, it made it all worth it.
00:21:35.900We live in the greatest country in the world.
00:22:36.340The key part of the book, I want you to talk about this scene.
00:22:38.400I don't want to give too much away from the book because I want everybody to read this, and I want people to share it.
00:22:44.420And this is a perfect Christmas gift, particularly people in your family, that if you mention Donald Trump's name, they spit on the floor.
00:22:52.780They're the ones who need to read this.
00:22:54.100When you get in the car, I think it was in New York, we think, and the president turns to you, or your father turns to you and says, because you're there every day with him, and says, hey, it's going to be one of two things.
00:23:09.180It's either back to the White House, I'm going to win, or it's going to be jail, right?
00:23:31.780I came back with him in the afternoon.
00:23:32.940And, by the way, because my father was gagged so oftentimes, Steve, I was the guy that was, you know, out there on the courthouse steps, you know, yelling and screaming to the media about what a sham this whole trial was, right?
00:23:42.300I mean, my father got convicted of 34 felonies by a judge who had a daughter who was, like, one of the largest digital fundraisers of the Democratic Party, and the guy wouldn't recuse himself.
00:24:28.360There were these highs and lows, Steve, that I can't even, you know.
00:24:30.840I mean, Butler was one of them where, you know, I see my father's head almost get taken off by the gunman, right?
00:24:36.700And then exactly, you know, two days later, exactly 48 hours later, I was the Republican, you know, I was the, you know, the delegate from Florida that was otherwise, you know, voting in Florida to make my father the Republican nominee for president of the United States, right?
00:24:49.980You had these weird highs and lows in this entire process.
00:24:52.940But that car ride, listen, it's either going to be the White House or they're going to lock us up and they're going to put us in jail.
00:25:04.040Like, we always felt this presence where we were being guided and we were being protected.
00:25:07.800And every single day you had one of these super dark moments.
00:25:12.140Man, there would be this little light, you know, and it would shine, this little opening, this, you know, this sea would part.
00:25:17.900And all of a sudden there was an opportunity, there was hope, there was energy.
00:25:23.200I can't tell you how many times we felt that, but I felt that, you know, I felt that in the car, I felt that after Butler.
00:25:27.640And, yeah, that was an amazing moment.
00:25:30.060I mean, it showed how fragile this process was.
00:25:32.120It was either 1600 Pennsylvania or I truly believe they would have locked us up for doing nothing wrong, but just because that's how weaponized the system had become.
00:25:41.300It comes to in the book, but do you believe your father's a providential figure, that God works through him as an instrument?
00:25:52.500And the first time it really kind of came to my attention, it was from maybe an unlikely source, it was Mike Huckabee, who was during the 2016, you know, debates, the primaries.
00:26:02.040Mike Huckabee was on that stage and I was behind stage at one of the debates and he comes up to me and he goes, Eric, I can feel the hand of God on your father's shoulder.
00:26:10.060And I think he's going to win this entire thing.
00:26:11.840Now, this is somebody that was running against my father at the time, right?
00:26:14.180I mean, he was saying this against his own interest.
00:26:18.920And I feel like he's being, you know, guided into doing something really remarkable for the world.
00:26:23.160And, you know, it's kind of ironic that Huckabee is on that stage yesterday, obviously, as ambassador to Israel, you know, and we have the greatest peace deal of all.
00:26:53.000I remember you and, I mean, this is a true story.
00:26:55.980Like, you literally asked me to call all the delegates from the state of Pennsylvania, a state that I knew very well, because we were winning all these states.
00:27:02.980But Ted Cruz was, like, eating our lunch in terms of the delegates, because we didn't realize we had to wine and dine these people, because this was not like, like, what do you mean?
00:28:02.980Have you looked at your power bill lately?
00:28:09.260Electricity prices are at all-time highs and they're only going up.
00:28:13.040Even worse, power outages are becoming more and more common.
00:28:17.400In fact, according to the Department of Energy, blackouts could increase 10,000% over the next few years.
00:28:23.900If you don't have a backup generator for your home, it's time to get one.
00:28:27.800The one I recommend is the GridDoctor 3300 solar generator from our friends at MyPatriotSupply.
00:28:35.460Unlike gas generators, it's quiet, fume-free, and safe to use indoors.
00:28:40.560Yet it's powerful enough to run almost everything in your home.
00:28:45.420And with the free solar panel included, you'll have unlimited off-grid power to outlast any storm, blackout, or grid failure.
00:28:52.860Best of all, you can get the GridDoctor 3300 for zero down and as little as $104 a month when you shop at MyPatriotSupply.com slash Bannon.
00:29:04.360That's right, 3300 watts of backup power delivered to your door for zero dollars down.
00:29:11.220See the page for more details at MyPatriotSupply.com slash Bannon.
00:29:33.000I agree 100% with Eric Trump that the 2016, that's when I became evident to me that President Trump was a providential figure because we had a plane, we had a message, and we had a man.
00:29:51.560And we were going up against one of the toughest political dynasties going, the Clinton mafia.
00:29:59.020But Eric, and this is why this book is important to be purchased by everybody in the MAGA movement and read it but also share it or have, more importantly, buy a couple extra copies and give it to people that are not MAGA and people that don't understand President Trump.
00:30:13.280There's no book about his presidency that can get you to understand the man and the character of the man better than this book, and here's why.
00:30:23.720I make the case all the time that Trump is a providential figure, and the stealing of the 2020 election, which was stolen, and President Trump's decision to come back understanding that all the subpoenas were going to come for Eric Trump, understanding they were going to try to destroy the family, understanding they were going to try to put him in prison, understanding they wouldn't – they've done everything possible, including stealing a presidential election to keep him from the White House,
00:30:51.580that they would do everything to make sure he never returned, and that's why this book shows you the character in, as I call President Trump, the American Cincinnatus, just like the famous Roman general that returned from the plow to save the Roman Republic again.
00:31:06.460Trump, and Trump, you read this book, the odds are so long when you read the book, Eric, of a potential comeback because the entire force of corporate America, the entire force of the technology industry, the entire force of the Capitol, Wall Street, and particularly the government and the state and this radical Democratic Party and their donors,
00:31:28.420it all converges to not simply make sure he can't return to the White House, but to destroy the family, to set an example that anybody else that steps out of line,
00:31:39.700we don't care how famous you are, we don't care how powerful you are, we don't care how wealthy you are, we don't care how people like you or consider you good people, it doesn't matter, you will be destroyed.
00:31:51.820That is what comes through the pages of this, and leading up to Butler, you understand that the story of Trump, the American Cincinnatus could not be written unless you had to go through this,
00:32:06.320that is why the stealing by the apparatus of the 2020 election, it's totally logical, and President Trump's the moral courage,
00:32:15.460I say, if you take Jack Kennedy's book, Profiles in Courage, which at that time, in the late 1950s, they took every great moral victory of politics,
00:32:26.980and he and Sorensen, I think, had 10 examples, if you take that book and triple it, it's one half of President Trump's moral decision to come back and say,
00:32:37.620I don't care what they try to do to me, including put me in prison, I'm going to fight this, because if I don't fight it,
00:32:44.340we're not going to have a republic. Eric Trump, your thoughts?
00:32:47.880No one's stronger. No person I have ever met in my life even compares to that man and his courage and his tenacity and his fight every single day.
00:32:58.040But Steve, I remember how bad it hurt when we're sitting in the blue room, you know, in the White House, 2020,
00:33:03.520and we quote unquote lost. We didn't lose. Everybody knew.
00:33:05.800I mean, no one actually believes that Joe Biden got 16 million more votes than Barack Obama did in 2012.
00:33:11.160Give me a break. I mean, universally, on both left and right, everybody knows that that's BS.
00:33:16.720But honestly, it's the greatest thing that ever happened to us.
00:33:19.280As painful as it was at the time, we knew we didn't lose. We fought our butts off. We were tired.
00:33:23.540We were, I mean, we had that one. The enthusiasm gap was 10x. It wasn't even close.
00:33:29.080I would counter-narrative, you know, his rallies. I would talk across the street, Steve,
00:33:33.620and literally I'd have a thousand people and he couldn't fill his little yellow circles.
00:33:36.800But it's a law of unintended consequences, and I really do believe that God guided all of that.
00:33:42.400I mean, I mean, think about it. The media is dead. The mainstream media is dead.
00:33:46.520No one likes them. No one trusts them, right?
00:33:48.980You have a Republican Party that's willing to fight. You've got the Senate. You've got the House.
00:33:52.980You've got a 6-3 majority on the Supreme Court. You obviously have the executive branch.
00:33:56.860You have a killer cabinet of people who are phenomenal.
00:34:00.120You've got great ambassadors all over the world.
00:34:02.120You've got people like Steve Wyckoff in there doing incredible jobs.
00:34:05.780None of this would have been possible.
00:34:07.720You wouldn't have had the Senate. You wouldn't have had the House.
00:34:09.920You wouldn't have had the same, you know, a majority.
00:34:12.640You wouldn't have had, you would have had, you know, so many kind of people from the old cabinet.
00:34:16.960There was plenty of fine people, but you would have had the baggage of all of them.
00:34:20.140It honestly took us coming out for four years and being at the lowest part on the totem pole, right,
00:34:26.460to realize who our true friends were, who were there in the bad times, who were there when we were weak.
00:34:30.900I mean, Steve, I talk about it a lot, and my father talked about that in The Art of the Deal,
00:34:35.820you know, in The Art of the Comeback when he wrote his original business books,
00:34:38.940about the days where the phones stopped ringing.
00:34:41.300You better believe after 2020 the phones stopped ringing.
00:34:44.640I'm not talking about the American people who absolutely adored my father.
00:34:47.300I'm talking about from the establishment and the people you otherwise thought were your friends,
00:34:51.520and, you know, having those four years in those courtrooms to know who was sitting by your side
00:34:56.120and who was your friend and who was showing up every single day and being able to empower those people
00:42:07.340I say the years in the wilderness, but particularly those days – remember January and February and March and April of 2021?
00:42:17.880I mean, actually until things like President Trump's CPAC speech, also the count, the vote in – counting in Arizona didn't turn out.
00:42:28.460It was, you know, totally screwed up, but people put their shoulder to the wheel.
00:42:31.560People out there in Arizona were just magnificent.
00:42:33.560You started to see the ability of MAGA to hang together and not, you know, Fox News and Rupert Murdoch, that email that said they're going to make Trump a non-person.
00:43:09.180We're going to chop some wood here in the war room.
00:43:13.280Maybe today is the day that you text Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, at 989898 to get the ultimate guide for investing in gold and precious metals from Birch Gold, gold above 4,100.
00:43:26.260What if he had the brightest mind in the war room delivering critical financial research every month?
00:43:40.400He's our wise man, a former CIA, Pentagon, and White House advisor with an unmatched grasp of geopolitics and capital markets.
00:43:47.500Jim predicted Trump's Electoral College victory exactly 312 to 226, down to the actual number itself.
00:43:57.280Now he's issuing a dire warning about April 11th, a moment that could define Trump's presidency in your financial future.
00:44:04.900His latest book, Money GPT, exposes how AI is setting the stage for financial chaos, bank runs at lightning speeds, algorithm-driven crashes, and even threats to national security.
00:44:16.480Right now, war room members get a free copy of Money GPT when they sign up for Strategic Intelligence.
00:44:23.240This is Jim's flagship financial newsletter, Strategic Intelligence.
00:46:51.760They understand, you know, what, 1,000, 2,000.
00:46:56.160Excuse me, I think it's 2,000 prisoners, including bad hombres.
00:46:59.540250 of the top terrorists over there are being released or in the process of being released.
00:47:04.260So there's a long way to go, but you can see how that can be made to work, although the reality is it is a two-state solution.
00:47:12.720Don't let anybody spin it any other ways.
00:47:14.500With Qatar, the other Gulf Emirates, Saudi Arabia, putting in tens of billions of dollars because we don't want any American money to have to go in there.
00:47:22.740With Turkey committing to form a security force of the essentially an Arab legion, Arab and Muslim nations of which they would organize.
00:47:33.140At the beginning, 200 Americans in Doha at CENTCOM already there as a collateral duty will help do some of the logistics organization because it is a massive, massive, massive effort.
00:47:45.600If you've seen any of the footage coming out of Gaza in the last 24 hours, it's, as I say, it's Dresden.
00:47:53.540It's Dresden in 1945 or almost like Hiroshima where, you know, there's not in many places not even a building standing or if they're standing, they look like they get hit by a nuclear weapon.
00:48:08.340By the way, we're trying to – and also in the middle of all that, and that's why things may be – even the shows may have some – may have to juggle because Malay is coming to the White House.
00:48:22.380And this is part of what I say is this four things you've got to kind of keep in balance.
00:48:28.460Number one is the insurrection here in the United States, right, which is going on, and I believe the Insurrection Act should be implemented immediately to make sure that we can put this down and start to deport all 10 to 20 million.
00:48:42.020And I realize that many people in the Republican Party are getting weak-kneed on that.
00:48:46.440You've also got Malay represents, whether we like it or not, a bailout or an investment in a country that's looked at as central to hemispheric defense.
00:49:00.940I'm not a big fan of his economic policies.
00:49:02.600I said I thought a lot of them were kind of kooky at the beginning, but we are where we are in this.
00:49:08.840Both we've got massive issues in Brazil with Bolsonaro and obviously Lula.
00:49:13.760You've got this situation in Venezuela that we want to make sure it doesn't go to kinetic war as we try to solve that problem.
00:49:21.400And remember, Lula even has a seat at the table right now because it's inextricably linked to the situation in China.
00:49:31.580China has essentially cut off or put export restrictions on what we call heavy rare earths, which are essential.
00:49:38.560The magnets and all this are essential to the manufacturing process, not just for weapons, as we talked about, but actually to keep the production lines of Ford Motor Company going.
00:49:48.720The only other place on earth I think they're easily accessible are, wait for it, Brazil.
00:49:54.500It's one of the reasons the Chinese Communist Party is all over Brazil.
00:49:56.960And, of course, Lula being a Marxist is their partner.
00:50:01.200That's why if you didn't have a guy like Trump, you'd be out of luck.
00:50:05.620Zelensky's coming on Friday to talk about and really encourage President Trump to begin to become essentially a combatant by providing serious offensive weapons that can strike inside of Russia for Zelensky.
00:50:21.180And on top of that all is this trade war with the Chinese Communist Party.
00:50:25.600Now, I think the president has kind of technically walked back the 100 percent tariffs, I think.
00:51:21.380Hey, you're either on one side or the other.
00:51:24.140President Trump can have those tough conversations.
00:51:26.060President Trump yesterday said, hey, he's thinking about lifting all the sanctions on Iran if they kind of fall in line.
00:51:33.320He made sure they were invited to this summit yesterday, which was kind of shocking.
00:51:39.080Also, you have to remember the security guarantor, Turkey, when President Trump worked it so that Netanyahu would be invited in Sisi against advice of his advisor said, yes, I'll invite him.
00:51:52.260It was Turkey that said, no, I'll turn the plane around.
00:51:57.940That shows you the only President Trump can kind of bridge still the distrust between Israel and the Gulf Emirates and between Israel, particularly Turkey and Qatar.
