Presidents have traditionally served two terms, and the idea that a president can serve more than two terms in office is anathema to conservative ideologues has been around since the early 19th century. The idea of a president serving more than one term in office has long been a sore point for conservatives, and so did the 22nd Amendment, which was passed by Congress in order to prevent a president from running for re-election more than twice.
00:04:50.680Would make any moves on Taiwan? What makes you think that?
00:04:55.680You know, I hope they won't. Well, to see, maybe they will, maybe they won't. I hope they won't. It would be very dangerous for them to do.
00:05:04.320Are you open to changing U.S. policy on Taiwan?
00:05:07.440Well, I don't want to talk about that now. I don't want to create any complexity. The trip is already complex enough. But, you know, I think China wants to have 10 great years. And they can, you know, they can. Or they can have some bad years. And they don't want that. And we're going to have a very good meeting.
00:05:28.580This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies. Because we're going medieval on these people.
00:05:54.720You're just not going to get a free shot at all these networks lying about the people. The people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that. But you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.
00:06:07.680And where do people like that go to share the big lie? Mega media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:06:17.120Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:06:27.920War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:06:31.260Saturday, 25 October in the year of early 2025. The president is en route to Asia for a series of meetings that may be the most among the most important of his presidency as he will confront to negotiate with Xi.
00:06:56.720That will be Wednesday night, U.S. time, approximately 10 o'clock to probably – it's going to be a two- or three-hour meeting, 10 o'clock looks like to maybe midnight, 1 o'clock in the morning.
00:07:09.620We are going to do it live on Real America's Voice like these specials we've been doing from Israel and other places.
00:07:14.820We're going to do it live, the War Room on Real America's Voice at 10 p.m.
00:07:19.200We'll refine the time as we get closer, but 10 p.m. to whenever it ends with commentary and observations, and we'll have the top-notch crew that we always have for these incredibly important.
00:07:32.160A carrier battle group now is off the coast of Venezuela, and a lot of consternation, the Telegraph – I'll get this up later.
00:07:42.100The Daily Telegraph has a great piece up there about how President Trump in hemispheric defense is finally thrown down the gauntlet against – wait for it, the Chinese Communist Party.
00:07:52.880He wants to make sure the Chinese Communist Party is not in business with dictators like Maduro in Venezuela, although this being cast is against the cartels.
00:08:05.680And I know a lot of people are working on some sort of potential deal to get Maduro out before the United States has to resort to basically gunfire because that could be a messy one, particularly as I keep warning people.
00:08:18.980If the people in Venezuela are not 100 percent on board, you could lead into a civil war that the United States could get sucked into for a long time.
00:08:46.840But an earthquake in Ireland, Bradley Thayer, who's been monitoring this for us, and we'll have a bunch of Irish folks on the show on Monday.
00:08:57.740We could have some Irishmen on the show on Monday talk about this.
00:09:02.320So Thayer in this kind of gun-decked election because only the elites can actually put forward who's going to run.
00:09:08.360So it's a total lack of enthusiasm for any of the candidates that are up there.
00:09:12.600I think it's 55 to 60 percent of the country did not vote in this presidential election, just rejected all the candidates said, you know, I can't be bothered.
00:09:23.180In addition, the spoil votes, which is something we've been driving with many of the people in Ireland, which is just to write something on the ballot to let them know what you think.
00:09:41.980Is it 15 to 20 percent of spoiled votes?
00:09:43.940Another 60 percent of the country rejected all the candidates and just did not vote?
00:09:50.080Does that mean we're going to be around two-thirds, 60 percent to maybe two-thirds of Irishmen are now standing against the political class in Ireland?
00:09:59.740Yeah, Steve, it's going to be – we'll know the results this afternoon, our time.
00:10:05.360But it's overwhelmingly that voter turnout is extremely low, which is a key sign.
00:10:13.420And then the spoil of the vote, as you indicated, is ranging in constituencies from lows of about 10 percent to highs of about 22 percent of the votes cast.
00:10:27.560So it's indicating, of course, there's a tremendously significant result.
00:10:33.460The Irish people are fed up with what they've had to endure from their government.
00:10:41.580So nominally, the candidate – there's a hard left, a communist named Catherine Connolly, who's going to be declared the winner.
00:10:49.440But the true indication and the true outcome of this election is the voice of the people saying that they reject what the Irish government, the Irish elite, have been doing.
00:11:03.660It's a rejection of the establishment.
00:11:05.540And it's a very important step forward in Ireland and should be seen as another development, just as we had in September, the Unite the Kingdom, Tommy Robinson's Unite the Kingdom in the UK, the remarks from the Japanese prime minister rejecting immigration and Trump's activities.
00:11:30.280The West is tired of this – the West is tired of this – people are demanding change.
00:11:36.100Now, actually converting that into real political change is going to be the next step, of course, in Ireland.
00:12:18.880The ballots – many of the spoiled ballots wrote she was 10 years old, right, referencing the rape of that poor girl last weekend by the migrant in Dublin West, in West City.
00:12:33.080So very important events today in Ireland and positive step forward.
00:12:38.360As an aside, the young girl in France that was raped and beheaded by a – one of these migrants – I call them illegal alien evaders – her father died, I think, yesterday from heartbreak.
00:12:58.040We're seeing the rise of Irish nationalism.
00:13:00.860It's not going to happen all at one time.
00:13:02.560They didn't have a candidate this time, so they rejected the poll class by not turning out.
00:13:10.000And the ones that turned out, I don't know, 15 percent or more spoiled the vote, wrote these messages about the young girl that was raped by an immigrant.
00:13:23.860Of course, at the same time, Donnie, the Marxist jihadist embracing a tearful presentation – I guess it was yesterday – embraced his Muslim heritage.
00:13:36.680And that guy's – that guy's phonier than Obama, better actor than Obama, much better actor than Obama.
00:13:42.500Now, the House, the Democrats in the House, I told you everything they do is around illegal alien evaders.
00:13:51.240Their press conference yesterday in front of the Capitol was to talk about an app they have to track all ICE maneuver – all ICE movements in the country in deporting and the mass deportation of illegal alien evaders.
00:14:07.680My question to Pam Bondi and to Kash Patel and to Kristi Noem, doesn't that make them accessories to crimes?
00:14:16.120Why don't we just go on and arrest them all?
00:18:15.700Dr. Thayer, you were going to stick around and talk about the CCP.
00:18:19.040In the Third World War, from Ukraine to Latin America to now the South China Sea and the Straits of Taiwan,
00:18:26.160and the economic part of it, because the Chinese Communist Party has a knife to the throat of the United States with these heavy rare earths.
00:19:57.260I mean, in Colorado, in Pennsylvania, in North Carolina, Kentucky.
00:20:02.520They removed three-quarters of a million names thanks to a settlement and consent decree.
00:20:09.140And it's just, in my view, the tip of the iceberg.
00:20:13.020In Illinois, they're not removing names.
00:20:15.520California, the rest of the state is a mess.
00:20:18.060In Oregon, they virtually removed no names from their rolls, as the law requires.
00:20:24.880And the law requires not much, which is, you know, if you don't vote in a federal election, they're supposed to send you a card.
00:20:30.340And if you don't respond to the card or vote within two federal election cycles, meaning four or five years, they're supposed to remove your names.
00:20:41.840And dirty election rolls are kind of a way, an inducement, and an opportunity for fraudsters because it's a lot of dirty names under who they could possibly vote.
00:20:54.580And that's why federal law requires the states to clean them up.
00:20:57.760And the Justice Department hasn't been doing any of this.
00:21:01.280For years, Judicial Watch was the first one to do this comprehensively.
00:21:04.760Now, Tom, the dirty, the voter rolls that have these illegal aliens on them are the predicate of how you steal elections.
00:21:17.960This is why Democrats, because everything around them politically is about illegal aliens.
00:21:22.120But what excuse, when you go in and have to, and Judicial Watch has to go in and take its resources and sue, what arguments do these states put up and the Democratic Party put up for keeping illegal aliens, people obviously not eligible to vote on the voter rolls, sir?
00:21:40.520Well, there are no reasonable arguments.
00:21:43.620They fight whether we have the right to sue.
00:21:47.040And three courts have authorized our cases to go forward just in the last few months in Illinois, California, and Oregon.
00:21:56.300I mean, I just told you, you know, L.A. County agreed to remove a million names, New York a million names.
00:22:14.540And there is no legal reason, and they settle.
00:22:16.900Illinois, for instance, they've got, let me look at the numbers here for Illinois, because people are going to be, because if there's one end of the total thing, and I'm sure you see this, about people who move away and they still get ballots despite them being moved away for 30 years.
00:22:33.740In Illinois, or actually in California, they've got a fifth of its counties removed fewer, few or no registrations under this law.
00:22:49.96019 counties failed to report any data regarding registrations removed because of the death of a voter.
00:22:56.140However, Illinois informed the feds that 34 counties simply failed to report any data about removals.
00:23:04.560So what we're talking about is millions of extra names on the rolls, despite our removing 5 million.
00:23:11.540I'm guessing there's about 20 million plus extra names on the rolls right now.
00:23:16.560And these are people who shouldn't be on the rolls.
00:23:19.540And as I say, that's a pool for fraudsters to draw from.
00:23:23.580Does it mean they're all voting illegally?
00:24:58.220What's the center of gravity of the current top-of-mind issues that you guys deal with every day over at Judicial Watch?
00:25:05.300Well, you know, on the election thing, the other aspect of it is counting ballots that arrive after Election Day.
00:25:11.560We were just in the Supreme Court two weeks ago making arguments.
00:25:16.500And Illinois, they count ballots that arrive for up to two weeks after Election Day.
00:25:22.040And the courts there said candidates don't have the right to sue.
00:25:25.200So we're trying to get the Supreme Court to say, yeah, candidates can sue to chop an election from being stolen, which obviously was the big issue in 2020, as you know.
00:25:39.000And in California, they count ballots that arrive for up to seven days after Election.
00:25:43.820We found out there that there are two Democrats in the House because of ballots that were counted after Election Day.
00:25:51.680And if I were in the House, I'd be asking, why is that the case?
00:25:55.040We should be seeding the folks who lost due to this illicit vote counting.
00:26:01.640Because federal law states, you've got to count the ballots on election, or you've got to count ballots that arrive by Election Day.
00:26:07.940We have an Election Day, not an Election Week, not an Election Month.
00:26:25.040Don't count ballots that get there late.
00:26:28.820I mean, Trump mentioned it in an executive order.
00:26:31.580He said it's like someone showing up three days after Election Day and asking the ballots to be opened, you know, the polls to be opened up again.
00:26:41.340It's not the way it's supposed to work.
00:26:43.380And then, of course, the other big issue, Steve, is where are the prosecutions?
00:26:48.320I know there have been some prosecutions, but not on the core issues about the FBI trying to destroy a republic last year.
00:26:59.420To the degree the Justice Department wants to do anything, it's hampered by their own internal machinations, the deep state, et cetera.
00:27:09.580And I keep on saying this, and you and I have talked about this before.
00:27:13.400The president has got to bypass the Justice Department and the FBI in these investigations of the lawfare against them.
00:27:22.200A, they're the agencies that did it, so they're compromised and conflicted.
00:27:27.000Plus, they've got so many bad guys in their midst, they can't even do it, even if they wanted to, effectively, efficiently, and really quickly.
00:27:38.520And B, he has the authority, or C, whatever, I'm lost track of my letters.
00:27:43.960He has the authority to appoint a special counsel himself and run it separately from the Justice Department.
00:27:50.440Have you looked at your power bill lately?
00:27:53.040Electricity prices are at all-time highs, and they're only going up.
00:27:57.440Even worse, power outages are becoming more and more common.
00:28:01.200In fact, according to the Department of Energy, blackouts could increase 10,000% over the next few years.
00:28:07.520If you don't have a backup generator for your home, it's time to get one.
00:28:11.860The one I recommend is the Grid Doctor 3300 solar generator from our friends at MyPatriotSupply.
00:28:19.240Unlike gas generators, it's quiet, fume-free, and safe to use indoors.
00:28:23.900Yet, it's powerful enough to run almost everything in your home.
00:28:29.260And with the free solar panel included, you'll have unlimited off-grid power to outlast any storm, blackout, or grid failure.
00:28:36.660Best of all, you can get the Grid Doctor 3300 for zero down and as little as $104 a month when you shop at MyPatriotSupply.com slash Bannon.
00:31:35.960So, you know, he needs to get the best of the best working for him directly because once they're put into the Justice Department, there's a whole other culture and politics that go on that, in my way of thinking, is going to prevent full justice from being done.
00:32:42.200There's simply no one doing what we're doing in terms of the litigation and the investigation and, dare I say it, the basic education, because most of D.C. is based on allowing or hoping that Americans are kept ignorant of what the way the Constitution requires our country be run.
00:33:10.400He should be running the prosecutions.
00:33:12.940We've got election laws, and they should be followed and enforced.
00:33:18.200Everything else is a distraction to stop the Constitution and the rule of law from being implemented in a way that preserves and protects the republic.
00:33:33.960When you go over to – and I want everybody to go over and check out – that's not a member, hasn't donated, or actually start by reading what they're doing over to Judicial Watch.
00:33:45.120I'm going to give you the highest recommendation possible in the war room.
00:33:50.660After my mom died in the early 90s, I would try to, whether I was on the West Coast or anywhere, spend as many weekends back in my hometown of Richmond with my dad.
00:33:59.140And, you know, he died at over 100 years old a couple of years ago.
00:34:04.880Every time I showed up late on a Friday night or very early on a Saturday morning, we had a cup of coffee and started talking and catching up.
00:34:12.400He would pull out on his kitchen table, which he always had a stack of things he was working on, his Judicial Watch newsletter.
00:34:20.940And he would go through page by page and drill me on what was going on.
00:34:26.560And he said every time that the donation – he was not a wealthy guy, but the donation he would give to different organizations.
00:34:34.360He would say, the best bang for my buck I get is Tom Fitton.
00:35:39.320This is not about the DEI Supreme Court, you know, getting rid of the racial gerrymandering.
00:35:46.380These are ones just from the natural flow of – in states itself, right, in the flow of people in states, in two states, demographic and geographic changes.
00:35:58.800There are 21, as you've mapped out, gross seats, districts that we can pick up now by fair redistricting.
00:36:05.180We got five in Texas because of the war in Posse and Brian Harrison and the team at Patriot Mobile.
00:36:13.440California's about to get five back because the California has been very inept.
00:36:19.060The – and the people out there are great, but they're just not organized and they're not focused.
00:36:24.180And I hate to say it, and they're going to get smoked on – it looks like they're going to get smoked on this.
00:37:09.700But all over, all of a sudden you're seeing the Pence crowd and the traditional Republicans, kind of that Bush-Pence Republican Chamber of Commerce apparatus saying, oh, no, no, no.
00:37:34.020I mean, really, since the last time I was on, which was maybe about a couple of weeks,
00:37:38.680I mean, we've seen just a massive, maybe call it a counteroffensive, of just sort of whether it be, like you said, Democrats moving to redistrict or put in process the seats to be changed this election.
00:37:49.760Obviously, we had always tracked what the following election that they were going to do, obviously, in New York and some other states where they had some hurdles.
00:37:58.360But, yeah, I mean, Steve, we have to – the policy has to dig deep, has to push harder.
00:38:03.920I don't think our guys are getting the pressure.
00:38:06.180Light pressure, what I mean by that, you know, educational.
00:38:08.980But I think we're going to have to kind of turn up the heat rhetorically, of course, and really hammer these people.
00:38:13.420Because you look at some of these statements that are coming out from some of these state senators and you want to, like, jump out of a window.
00:39:09.800Some of these are holding to see what happens with, you know, the VRA case of the Supreme Court,
00:39:16.340and they think that, like Florida, they have the time to move and kind of do one bite at this as maximum as possible, and I understand that.
00:39:24.360But for these ones that are – we're not getting any movement in Indiana.
00:39:26.980Obviously, I think North Carolina's looking positive.
00:39:30.560But New Hampshire, those are kind of two key areas.
00:39:33.420That's three seats right there that we really need to kind of get in the door.
00:39:36.600So we got to – people got to dig deep.
00:40:47.220I know it must be nice in Indiana and you've got stuff there, nice Republican stuff.
00:40:51.320But it means nothing if we can't get this done and we can't ensure that Indiana voters are properly represented in Congress because they've been diluted, obviously, through illegal immigration in other states and how this thing has been totally rigged across the board.
00:41:03.820I mean, the people of Indiana are hurt in the current sense as they have poor representation, you know, sort of – you understand what I mean – sort of equally out compared to everyone else because they've got these two Democrats each, which they don't need in any capacity.
00:41:36.940We'll be putting them out on X because some of these guys are just an absolute disaster.
00:41:40.860And that is the biggest enemy when you look at it, Steve, to our progress.
00:41:44.100Something that you and this show have been talking about since Donald Trump went down the escalator, all of us, right?
00:41:48.840I mean, the enemy within our party, the rhinos, the globalists, the establishment that will stop at nothing really to stop us and are totally agents of the Democrat establishment.
00:41:59.760I mean, who cares if there's two seats Democrat?
00:42:01.900What does it affect some state senator in some part of Indiana?
00:42:05.560I mean, why do they feel the need to say all this nasty stuff about the president and, you know, all this stuff?
00:42:11.760I mean, it's something weird is going on.
00:42:13.600And the Democrats are putting in millions.
00:42:15.300When you look at Virginia, Steve, the Democrat trust, which is redistricting trust, which is a totally dark-winded group run by Eric Holder that Obama's been raising money to, key situation here, they're dumping millions of dollars into Virginia, okay?
00:42:28.420Because they understand now that they're going to get these lines redrawn.
00:43:04.900You know, I didn't know this until the guys at Field of Greens, the doctors and the experts, told me about it and then gave me information.
00:47:04.140And so when you look at that, you know, we're out running by about three points, which is helpful.
00:47:09.240But it's also obviously not enough, Steve.
00:47:10.960I mean, we will have to come down to not only fighting every day to turn out voters in this early vote period, which goes through November 2nd, but we will need to flood Election Day like no one's ever seen before.
00:47:22.440And so, you know, get on the Turning Point apps, get with Scott Presser, early vote action, get out there.
00:48:57.540Dr. Bradley Thayer, we're going to – real quickly on Xi, we're going to come back.
00:49:04.520We're going to have you through the week, Captain Fennell, people from the Committee on the Present Danger, on what's happening in Venezuela, and particularly this historic trip of President Trump.
00:49:14.500I think maybe the most extended trip, I think, of his presidency, and probably the most important.
00:49:27.900Where Xi is doing everything he can do to, as he puts it, right, develop a strategy to advance the new quality production forces to reshape the global competitive landscape.
00:49:39.140What that means in English is he wants – he's developing a strategy to win AI.
00:49:44.500Quantum computing, biotech, many other related technologies are important.
00:49:49.660But AI is everything for Xi Jinping because he's looking on technology, AI technology specifically, to ensure that there's economic growth in communist China.
00:50:03.240So, you know, this is why we're – Beset, obviously, is in Malaysia meeting with the Chinese, talking through these issues.
00:50:11.000He's got the knife to our throat on the rare earths, obviously, and magnets.
00:50:18.340We need to recognize that and respond accordingly.
00:50:43.860He's declared economic war against us, and we need to respond accordingly.
00:50:49.000And we'll see – this is why the meeting on Thursday, South Korean time, is so important because the matter is ahead, and Xi Jinping is coming off of a very important meeting, plenary session, fourth plenary session this week.
00:51:06.720So he's got muzzle velocity, and he's not going to be in a mood to compromise with Trump.
00:51:32.060They think they've got a winning formula, and they think they have leverage between TikTok and between the heavy rare earths and the magnets.
00:51:43.860That's where we're going to cover it live and be up with people all week to tee up this historic meeting between the dictator that runs China and the president of the United States.
00:51:53.740Thayer, where do people go to get your writings and social media all weekend?
00:52:26.480Don't let every dream you had turn into a nightmare.
00:52:30.160Don't let somebody, a rogue lawyer or accountant, maybe a family member or AI, artificial intelligence or cyber, get their grips on that title and do something.
00:52:40.440Either sell your property, sell your house or take a second out that you have to pay back.
00:52:44.920You will not be a War Room Posse member at the Ramparts with fixed bayonets because you'll be figuring out how to pay that off.
