Bannon's War Room - Episode 4914： Trump Pardons Electors Of 2020; Marines 250

00:00:00.000 Weeping pardons for several key allies who backed his effort to subvert the 2020 election results.

00:00:06.260 That's according to the president's so-called clemency czar, Justice Department pardon attorney

00:00:11.540 Ed Martin, who released a list on social media late last night that includes the names of 77

00:00:17.940 people who received pardons. They include Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, John Eastman,

00:00:24.980 Kenneth Cheesebro, Boris Epstein, and Sidney Powell, among others. Now, Politico points out that the

00:00:31.360 pardons are largely symbolic because none of those identified were charged with any federal crimes.

00:00:38.060 Additionally, the document posted online is also undated, so it's not clear exactly when President

00:00:44.320 Trump signed it. The pardon language explicitly states it does not apply to Trump himself.

00:00:51.240 The White House and Justice Department did not immediately respond to requests for comments.

00:00:58.320 So, Ken, there's a lot to sift through here. You know, we know that President Trump has stacked

00:01:03.280 his administration with some of those previous 2020 election deniers, those who claim falsely

00:01:08.160 that he won the election. And symbolic or not, this is another symbol here that he's simply

00:01:12.960 not going to play by the rules and that these are people who he is yet another example of this

00:01:19.580 administration, where he has taken, used the powers of government to punish his foes,

00:01:24.320 and in this case, reward his friends, those who do his bidding.

00:01:28.300 Mark Wolfe explains his decision to step down as a senior U.S. district judge in Massachusetts.

00:01:33.420 He writes in part, quote,

00:01:34.740 My reason is simple. I no longer can bear to be restrained by what judges can say publicly or do

00:01:40.960 outside the courtroom. President Donald Trump is using the law for partisan purposes,

00:01:45.720 targeting his adversaries while sparing his friends and donors from investigation, prosecution,

00:01:51.980 and possible punishment. This is contrary to everything that I have stood for in my more than

00:01:56.380 50 years in the Department of Justice and on the bench. The White House's assault on the rule of law

00:02:01.720 is so deeply disturbing to me that I feel compelled to speak out. Silence for me is now intolerable.

00:02:08.340 I'd say it's a bit more than symbolic, Jonathan, in the sense that some of these people were clearly

00:02:13.360 considered unindicted co-conspirators by Jack Smith in the investigation of the false elector

00:02:18.660 scheme that resulted in the indictment of Donald Trump. And they were certainly at risk of being

00:02:23.440 charged federally. Now, of course, that was never going to happen during this administration,

00:02:26.640 and there's a statute of limitations problem. But often there are ways to get around statutes of

00:02:31.860 limitations. And so some of these people had some real risk of being charged criminally

00:02:37.320 in the false elector scheme if a Democrat or someone who's not like-minded with Donald Trump

00:02:43.020 becomes the next president and controls the Justice Department. So this is a big deal. And it's just a

00:02:48.600 continuation of what is happening within the Trump administration in terms of pardoning people who've

00:02:55.460 committed very serious offenses, in this case, haven't been charged with offenses, but are believed

00:03:00.160 by many people to have engaged in misconduct. And just it's about the political whims of Donald Trump.

00:03:08.360 It's about who he likes and who he wants to help. And if you believe a certain way that was in his

00:03:15.240 interests, you're liable for a pardon, whether it's Jelaine Maxwell or or people who engaged in this

00:03:21.080 false elector scheme. Now, the thing to remember is there are still there were state attorneys,

00:03:26.440 general investigations into various false elector schemes around the country. It's unclear exactly

00:03:31.560 what's happening with those. But these pardons, of course, would not apply to state charges.

00:03:36.160 This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on

00:03:47.220 these people. You've just not got a free shot. All these networks lying about the people, the people

00:03:53.660 have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you've tried to do everything

00:03:57.560 in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen. And where do people

00:04:01.160 like that go to share the big line? MAGA Media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people

00:04:08.980 had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save

00:04:16.640 my country, this country will be saved. War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

00:04:24.100 It's Monday, 10 November in the year of our Lord. 2025 is the 250th anniversary of the birth of the

00:04:35.960 Marine Corps or the Continental Marines to be specific. We're going to be covering this all day.

00:04:42.020 We've got Eric Prince is going to join us. Jack Posobics up in Philadelphia. We're going to go live

00:04:46.000 momentarily to Philadelphia, which is the home of the birthplace of the Marines at Tun Tavern. We'll be

00:04:51.800 going there with a group of Marines that fought in Vietnam for a commemoration. So throughout the

00:04:57.180 morning, we'll be going back and forth between the Marines. And there's a massive amount of breaking

00:05:02.620 news here in the Capitol. Honored to be joined by Ed Martin, one of the greats. Ed, by the way,

00:05:10.520 this is what happens when the studio's on Capitol Hill. You don't know who's going to turn. Literally,

00:05:16.060 we're about to go with a broader cold over everything. Is that Ed Martin? Come on in here, boy.

00:05:20.560 Ed, at the cold open, we could have played an hour worth of commentary from the Morning Joe's and

00:05:27.380 from Ken, was it Delanian over at NBC? No, he's the comms director for combing these guys. Just walk

00:05:34.180 the audience through about these pardons so everybody understands. And then I want to get to,

00:05:39.120 I guess, this report you put out subsequently about the whole rationale behind it. Walk us through

00:05:44.740 first. What exactly happened? Well, thanks a lot, Stephen. Semper Fi. Semper Fi. Thanks. My brother's a

00:05:49.560 Marine. Jim Marks. Yeah, my brother's a Marine. Yeah, yeah. He served overseas, all the wars and

00:05:54.020 all. And he's a hero. He's the real hero. So to my mother, Jim, and all the Marines, thank you. I

00:05:59.400 put something up on X today, Steve. I said, as long as America has the Marines, we'll never fail. We'll 0.91

00:06:05.460 never fall, right? We've got the Marines. So look, this, I became a U.S. partner attorney. I was

00:06:10.820 planning on being U.S. attorney in Washington, D.C., right? I was enjoying that. You had quite a run.

00:06:15.320 I had quite a run. I had quite a run. I will say some of the stories. No, the establishment was

00:06:19.900 not just the progressive Democrats. The Republican establishment was absolutely shaking. They have a

00:06:24.760 they have a guy in there that's a law and order guy. Yeah. So, well, and it was really important

00:06:29.260 work. And and I loved it. And I had hoped to do it for the whole four years. And the Lord has

00:06:35.080 different plans. And when I spun around and the president said, we're going to withdraw your

00:06:38.320 nomination, he said, but I want you to keep fighting. And he and I said, I'll do what you want,

00:06:41.380 sir. And he said, I want you to be the U.S. partner attorney. And I thought, OK, like because

00:06:46.100 I care a lot about the pardons because what they did and the anti weapon. Yeah, I was going 0.98

00:06:49.580 to get to that. Right. So he says part attorney. I thought, well, I care about that. I care

00:06:52.960 about the J6ers, the FACE Act, the pro-lifers. That first week in office, I'll never forget. 1.00

00:06:58.720 I'd never been in the Oval Office. OK, so it's January 24th or 3rd. And I go in there because

00:07:03.680 the president's signing a pardon for two cops, MPD cops that were sent to jail for being honest

00:07:09.080 brokers and chasing a bad guy through the streets. And he looked at me first time in

00:07:12.360 the Oval Office. I'm nervous as can be looked at me. He said, there's a good part. These

00:07:15.400 are good pardons. Right. And I said, yes, sir. And he said, we're do the right thing for

00:07:18.340 the cops. I said, yes, sir. And he said, did the MPD tell you they like it? I said, yeah,

00:07:21.400 they do, sir. And he's like, great. Signed it. I mean, we had great work. So the partner

00:07:24.280 attorney, I thought it's important. But then he said, I want you to run the weaponization

00:07:28.020 committee. And the anti weaponization. Well, anti weaponization. But the first thing is to

00:07:32.860 to shine a light. And I've said this before. Name and shame. I mean, look, when

00:07:36.980 Bondi gave us the memo, General Bondi, the memo, the first one is Jack Smith. First one

00:07:41.700 to investigate is Jack Smith. We look at Jack Smith and I'm in the middle of this still.

00:07:45.140 What you see is Jack Smith was targeting who? The electors, the alternate electors across

00:07:49.420 the country. Jack Smith thought he was going to be one of the famous lawyers who tried what

00:07:55.980 I call a maxi trial in the 1990s in Sicily. They tried all the organized crime. Jack Smith

00:08:02.540 thought he was that guy, except he was the guy running the conspiracy. He was the he was the

00:08:06.720 guy doing this stuff. So when we looked at it, one of the president said, pardon attorney.

00:08:10.880 And I said, OK, hang on. Hang on. Maxi trial. He wanted to put hundreds on trial at the same

00:08:17.120 time. Yeah. Sorry. I got distracted, but it's important because it plays into what happened.

00:08:21.120 Yes. Jack Smith's vision was charge hundreds of people across the country, all the alternate

00:08:26.820 electors, all the people that put their head up and said lawyers, all the lawyers charge a

00:08:31.840 maxi trial and get. And then when he's done, O'Bannon, everybody around the president and

00:08:36.000 the president and the president. And he only lost. He only ran out of time because guys

00:08:40.900 like Todd Blanche, my current boss, John Larrow, they fought it off and they fought this guy

00:08:45.300 off and he stopped him. So anyway, when the president says, I want you to do the weaponization

00:08:49.040 and the partner attorney, I looked at it. I said, the partner attorney. And then, Steve,

00:08:52.300 you lived it, but I learned it. You have a chance present. And he loves this. You have a chance

00:08:57.220 to give real mercy and give people that were wronged a break. So I get in and he says to

00:09:02.140 me two things. He said, one is there's people that deserve a break that are in jail, in prison,

00:09:07.080 find them and help them get a break as it served a long time and all. But he said, the second

00:09:10.960 one was weaponized against us by Biden and Obama, by the way, and just the government. And we started

00:09:17.160 looking at that. And this, the electors across the country, the pardon that came out today was

00:09:22.020 pardoning these electors because they did what? They did the exact same thing that in 1960,

00:09:28.620 the Democrats did in Hawaii. There were three Democrat alternate electors and nobody said a word.

00:09:34.820 It's exactly what you do when you operate the constitution, not when you don't. And Steve,

00:09:39.860 here's the thing. You're Steve Bannon. Out in the country, in the States, frankly, more normal

00:09:46.040 people, regular guys and gals put their hand up and said, I'll be an alternate elector to help.

00:09:49.860 They were the county chair. They were a local judge. And Jack Smith and his team and Fannie

00:09:55.680 Willis, they destroyed these people. And so you had people borrowing against college funds,

00:10:00.820 redoing their mortgage, selling their house.

00:10:03.320 Going into their retirement, selling their house.

00:10:05.820 And so my point was to the president was we should pardon these folks. And he said, research it.

00:10:11.040 And Bondi and Blanche said, research it, get it right and tight and we'll consider it. And we did it

00:10:16.320 and we got it all together. And I asked probably 50. I didn't ask you, Steve. I should have 50 lawyers

00:10:21.900 and top people thinking about it. How do you look at this? And what you described was the working

00:10:27.280 document that we put together, which is, it describes exactly what happened. The people in

00:10:33.800 this country operated within the rules and the law and the constitution, and they were brutalized by it.

00:10:41.220 And so the pardon attempts to start to change that. And I think it's the opening. I know because

00:10:47.040 I'm involved in getting to the truth of 2020.

00:10:49.880 So, and that's part of the document that you put out subsequently. It kind of explained your

00:10:54.300 rationale. Yeah.

00:10:56.120 How does this go? Because these are state charges and you've got some pretty radical AGs,

00:11:01.640 particularly in Arizona and some of these other states that are going to sit there and go,

00:11:05.460 hey, Donald Trump and Ed Martin can do all they want, but we're going to triple down on these

00:11:09.480 people and grind them into dust, which they've been doing.

00:11:12.060 Right. A couple of things. One, there's a broad argument that the, that the pardon can apply

00:11:15.800 to state charges that I leave to others for, for fighting it out. But there is in the history of

00:11:20.200 the country, of course, you go back in time at the very beginning, the charges, a pardon operated

00:11:24.780 against any crime against the United States at the period early on, you were pardoning local

00:11:29.460 charges too. That's a different debate. I don't think right now we win that in the courts,

00:11:32.740 but I'll just say this. If you charge somebody for forgery or obstruction of justice and the underlying

00:11:38.200 crime that you're claiming is forgery or obstruction of justice is definitively,

00:11:44.120 the government says it wasn't a crime. There was no victims. There was no cost. You take the wind

00:11:48.840 out of the sails of the argument. What are you doing? And what becomes clear and should be clear

00:11:52.600 is that they're doing this for politics.

00:11:53.780 Targeting. It's targeting people for politics and otherwise. And look, out in Wisconsin,

00:11:57.920 there's a guy named Judge Troopas. He spent his whole career. It's like Eastman, Dean Eastman,

00:12:01.800 whole career. Not like you and me. These people are quality lawyers and thinkers. They're not in the fray

00:12:07.100 like we are. And they get destroyed. Their reputations, 70-year-old man destroyed.

00:12:11.980 Troopas came up here and testified at the end of the time. He was fantastic.

00:12:15.580 Fantastic. Assault to the earth, smart guy. And so they destroy these people without blinking an eye.

00:12:21.180 And it's truly, truly the conduct is evil that the people deserve to be named and shamed and held

00:12:27.880 accountable in every way. How did the president respond when you went to him with your package to do

00:12:32.660 this? From the very beginning, President Trump, from the very beginning, two things I'd say. One

00:12:37.700 is he has a heart for anybody who's been wronged by government. He feels it. He lived it himself.

00:12:43.420 But the second thing is he loves, as you know, he says things like, I like it. I like it. Go do this,

00:12:48.140 this, and this. He saw it.

00:12:49.480 Right.

00:12:49.580 He goes through the details and comes back with some great guidance.

00:12:53.540 And he said to me, go do this. Don't forget this. And then what he always says, Steve,

00:12:57.500 is he says, do it right. Like, go do it and do it right. And so I got to tell you,

00:13:02.080 people argued against it, for it internally, externally. And the president was like, we got

00:13:06.620 to, like I say it all the time, no MAGA left behind. We're not in a time where we could debate

00:13:11.420 this. People that were wronged by the Biden administration were targeted because of what

00:13:15.920 they believed and who they were. That's without a doubt now. It's not a debatable point. We

00:13:20.260 got to try to fix that in every way we possibly can.

00:13:22.320 And Obama.

00:13:23.140 Well, Obama. Yeah, that's right. It's true.

00:13:25.000 We're going to get into that thing. Let's take a, by the way, we have the, we're going

00:13:28.140 to go out with the Marine Corps, with the Marine Corps hymn all day today, both the morning

00:13:33.020 and the afternoon show. Michael Paxson will join us tonight at 10 p.m. Eastern Standard

00:13:37.480 Time. It'll be the world premiere on PBS. 17 years after we made the film, we'll play

00:13:44.760 the last 600 meters. We'll be prime time on PBS tonight, 10 p.m. We're going to have

00:13:48.780 Michael Pack, other Marines from Iraq and Afghanistan, the current wars, folks today

00:13:54.220 from Vietnam. All day long, we're commemorating the 250th birthday of the United States Marine

00:14:00.880 Corps. And as Ed Martin just said, as long as we've got the Marines, the United States

00:14:05.260 cannot be defeated. Let's take a short break. Ed Martin, in the house, next in the war room.

00:14:14.760 We'll be right back.

00:14:44.760 Let me be blunt. Gold is up around 40 percent this year. That's not speculation. That's

00:15:04.800 reality. And if a portion of your savings isn't diversified in the gold, you're missing

00:15:09.520 the boat. Now, here's the facts. Inflation is still too high. The U.S. dollar is still

00:15:14.120 too weak. And the government debt is insurmountable. That is why central banks are flocking to gold.

00:15:20.160 They're the ones driving up the prices now to record highs. But it's not too late to buy

00:15:25.900 gold from Birch Gold Group and get in the door now. Birch Gold will help you convert an existing

00:16:38.580 Okay, well, by the way, I was very concerned. Literally, we scooped Ed Martin up from the streets

00:16:43.540 of the Capitol. You've got the Clumbo jacket on. I thought you were doing a Letitia

00:16:47.620 James hunting for another house up here. She got one on Capitol Hill. No, no. I just was out doing

00:16:52.000 some business, Steve. I don't like to tell you why I was in the neighborhood. We'll just leave

00:16:56.460 it at that. That's the D-web. You put out also something in addition about the 2020. I mean,

00:17:02.200 one of the things that we keep pressing is that we have to adjudicate 2020. Yes. It's absolutely,

00:17:07.340 it's the railhead of so much of the problem in the country. Right. And now you've seen the Autopin,

00:17:12.200 you know, the Autopin pardons, the Autopin executive orders, which I think are even worse.

00:17:15.860 Tell me, why did you put this out today at the same time? Well, you know, two things. One is,

00:17:21.240 you know, Kurt Olson. Kurt Olson was recently appointed by the president to work on election

00:17:26.040 integrity. What people may not know, and it's not a secret, is that inside DOJ, myself and a couple

00:17:31.260 others have been working also on the same topic. So, you know, you see whether it's Fulton County

00:17:34.920 has these ballots we're worried about. Why are we not, why do we have some U.S. Marshals to go down

00:17:40.260 season? Yeah, everybody thinks it's, look, yeah, everybody thinks it's easier. It's a challenge.

00:17:44.640 Look, we've got to get them. And my bet is they're not there. I've always thought that they say they're

00:17:48.660 there and that they're, I think they're long ago shredded because of, and destroyed. But that's

00:17:52.900 just my own opinion. We'll see. But more importantly, there is a court that, let me say, let me say,

00:17:59.420 that's just me guessing as, as important as they are. Because you don't think they, they don't think you

00:18:03.280 keep the evidence around that they would put them all in prison. At this point, it's four and a half

00:18:07.220 years later, they're fighting to keep them secret. The court ordered them being held. The clerk has

00:18:12.360 them supposedly down the hall. They won't let us see them to review them. Like what, if they want

00:18:16.920 to prove that the election was fine, show it to us. We have enough concerns. We've raised enough

00:18:21.220 serious concerns. So my thinking is if it's that important to them, who knows what happened. But

00:18:25.140 we'll see. I'm just me reacting to how much they fought. But so why, when the president, when we

00:18:30.600 talked about the pardon of these alternate electors, at the heart of it was a desire, it seemed,

00:18:36.080 the conduct of these electors, they were being shut down. They were being silenced. And why?

00:18:41.760 And the question was, what happened in the 2020 election? And so when we went back and looked at

00:18:45.780 it, our goal was to pardon these electors. And when you pardon the alternate electors,

00:18:50.120 you got to make the case and look closely at it. And what we saw was people, again,

00:18:55.320 ordinary Americans, Steve, regular people, and their lawyers and others saying, let's use the system the

00:19:01.640 way we're supposed to. And what they were doing, they were targeted for that. So what we saw and

00:19:05.940 what we're laying out is what happened that they targeted? Why did they target it? What were the

00:19:10.040 steps that were taken? And I think it all becomes a question to answer what happened with 2020. And

00:19:15.800 again, General Bondi has put us on his task. She's not, she said to us, keep pushing, keep figuring it

00:19:21.300 out. And so we're doing that. So in other words, keep pushing because we have to adjudicate with

00:19:25.920 transparency in the public 2020, the stealing of the 2020 election. Anytime you see wholesale misconduct

00:19:32.060 and targeting American people, whether it's illegal or it's outside of the term limits or anything else,

00:19:38.340 excuse me, the statute of limitations, you still have to take a look at it. You don't get to say

00:19:44.380 walk away when there's misconduct. So we now have regular misconduct against American citizens.

00:19:50.160 When you see that, you say, let's go figure out what happened. And we're going to get to the bottom

00:19:53.440 of it. I'm very confident it's happening faster than people can realize. And look, I've told you

00:19:58.640 before, I get a lot of grief from the TV people. If you do something wrong and we can prosecute

00:20:03.640 you, we're going to, we're going to find it and get you. If you did it and you somehow dodged

00:20:08.100 accountability, we're going to name you. And as I've said before, we're going to name and shame people.

00:20:12.340 They deserve to be embarrassed for what they did to people. They deserve to have shame for what they

00:20:16.860 did to people. And that's part of the process. That's always part of the process. So we're really

00:20:20.580 excited about the truth getting out. And more importantly, I've heard from people this morning

00:20:23.320 that have said, thank you to president Trump for being on their side, right? For not forgetting

00:20:28.960 what's gone on. One thing you say, name and shame. What about the next step? You will prosecute where

00:20:34.860 you can, where you can prosecute everywhere. What about the state? Just one more time, because you're

00:20:41.140 dealing with some of the most radical attorney generals in the country, particularly Arizona,

00:20:46.640 you know, places like that come to mind. What is your plan for, for these folks? Well, there's a couple

00:20:52.320 things. One of the things when you start to look at the facts of this is that you realize that there

00:20:55.700 were a series of nonprofits set up, you know, Norm Eisen was in this space, Georgetown University

00:21:00.680 had some people that are up in Wisconsin that are working like, right? So you say, who was in

00:21:05.180 collaboration with this targeting? Again, maybe it's not illegal, but it's certainly worth a hard look.

00:21:10.440 And when it comes to the attorneys general, you see a network now, look, the reports out of the last

00:21:16.000 two weeks on Arctic Frost are that Jack Smith was coordinating on targeting people with local

00:21:22.100 prosecutors. That's frankly, the place where you look first. You say, Hey, you may be out of

00:21:27.540 control. You may have run for office. Like I think Letitia James did saying, I'm going to target that 0.99

00:21:31.680 citizen, that citizen, that group. That's what she ran on. That's politics. Maybe it's illegal. 1.00

00:21:36.200 Maybe it's not. When you get in office, how you use your office is what we're going to have to look

00:21:40.400 at and say, Whoa, back off. By the way, one of the heroes in this, Harmy Dillon, Harmy Dillon is fearless.

00:21:45.540 And so we were trying to get to the bottom of this and she's saying, how do I help? And she's out there in

00:21:49.420 the fray too. So, um, it's an, you know, all government effort to make sure that our people

00:21:55.060 are protected and all hands on deck. Yeah. What about, let's go to the anti weaponization part

00:22:01.180 of your job. Uh, and I realized most of this you can't talk about, but people sometimes think that

00:22:06.360 that's not getting the attention. You just had this book in justice out where they're trying to make

00:22:10.740 the case of Jack Smith as a superhero. And the only reason that he didn't actually bring a Trump,

00:22:16.520 get Trump in prison is that Merrick Garland guys are just too late to the process,

00:22:21.000 but you've got this now grand jury in South Florida. You have all this, uh, Arctic frost,

00:22:26.560 which is, uh, you know, finally the Senate realizes they were wiretapped. Now they're

00:22:30.480 interested in where do we stand with your anti weaponization move? Yeah. Let me, let me say

00:22:34.420 one part of that, Steve, is that all along the way, there's progress. That's hard sometimes to show

00:22:38.680 people. It's an inch at a time. For example, the news that broke on Arctic frost, we had that about

00:22:43.400 five weeks ago. And, and, and I know that the, the effort was by, uh, uh, the dag Todd Blanche was,

00:22:49.000 how do we get this information in the hands of people that can hold, hold them accountable?

00:22:53.040 We did that, right? There's Tina Peters. We've been fighting for two months to figure out a path 0.99

00:22:56.760 on Tina Peters. It's come out publicly. We're fighting for Tina Peters. You say, well, just go

00:23:00.860 get her. Well, we got to work with Colorado. You've put Colorado Bureau of Prisons. Yeah.

00:23:05.120 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You want to transfer to a federal prison. Yeah. And, and we did it,

00:23:08.380 but we did it. I got to say again, Todd Blanche is a guy leading on this. We did it in a way that puts the right

00:23:12.780 kind of pressure on them. You know how this works. If you're Colorado, I was chief of staff to the

00:23:16.380 governor of Missouri once. If the feds say we want something, you change your tune in terms of,

00:23:20.440 so we did that. We're doing that. So there's a million steps, but I would say on the big picture,

00:23:25.760 J six, look, you're seeing the J six stuff breaking. I can't talk about a lot of it, 1.00

00:23:30.520 but you're seeing that stuff break. And that's because it's a regular, it's, it's, it's like a drip,

00:23:34.820 drip, drip where we're making regular progress. Now don't get me wrong, Steve. We need more

00:23:38.820 prosecutions. We need more convictions. I get it. Uh, but I do know that we're making progress

00:23:43.820 and on the weaponization, uh, look, Joe, Joe Biden's administration, it was beyond what you

00:23:50.020 could even imagine what you can imagine. Honestly, you know, it was illegitimate. That's what proven

00:23:55.120 the 2020 election was stolen. It's illegitimate and it act like an illegitimate, uh, group of

00:23:59.840 gangsters, but they targeted so many Americans. You get the Catholics in Richmond area. That was, 0.98

00:24:04.700 that was nationwide. The school, the moms and dads at the, at the school board, right? They targeted

00:24:09.220 every different category and they did it with a level of, it was like Obama was doing that,

00:24:14.880 his people, these guys went beyond, uh, anything you could ever imagine. And it's all, by the way,

00:24:20.460 it's all the same suspects goes through both administrations. You know, the, the characters

00:24:23.700 are the same in terms of the, well, the normal license, some of these NGOs, Weissman, this crowd,

00:24:28.280 the MSNBC crowd. I know you got to bolt two things. Number one, your brother. Tell me about your

00:24:32.920 brother. He's a Marine. Tell me about your brother. Yeah. My brother's a United States

00:24:35.760 Marine, Lieutenant Colonel, retired, um, Marine, uh, Jim Martin, a career, a career. Yeah. Yeah.

00:24:40.120 Yeah. He did. He did tours in Afghanistan and, and Fallujah and all that stuff in Iraq. And,

00:24:45.060 uh, you know, took guys that always a dirt eater, ground pounder. He was a Scranton university

00:24:49.040 undergrad. Then went officer's candidate school. A great Catholic school. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And he

00:24:53.100 just was a fighter and he went to all the wars and he came back and he's a, he's a hero and he saw

00:24:58.020 stuff that you and I only read about and, uh, and, and so many of those people and many of them didn't come

00:25:02.620 back. So it's a great to remember those guys, the Marines. And he's, he's a, he's a great hero.

00:25:07.180 Mine, my brother, Jim Martin, he's up in Massachusetts. That's tough to be in Massachusetts,

00:25:10.420 but it's, uh, it's all right. Phyllis Schlafly. Oh man. This is her moment. Isn't it? I mean,

00:25:15.280 because people have certain that she represents so much of that kind of pounding stick to it in us.

00:25:20.360 That's right. Never back off. Had the establishment on her the entire time. When we played the, 0.98

00:25:25.060 the article from Breitbart and we played it, but it's gone viral again about her just completely

00:25:30.500 destroying, uh, Buckley. Yeah. Look, Phyllis Schlafly, two things. She was right on most of

00:25:36.420 the issues early. She knew that the threat was anti-communism in the Soviets. It wasn't,

00:25:40.820 it wasn't necessarily Russia. Once the Soviet union fell, she went to China and said, it's a

00:25:44.720 communist in China. That's why Navarro, she was on Navarro 15 years before the rest of everybody

00:25:49.040 caught up. Right. So she, so Phyllis knew, but what you said and on all the issues, pro-life on,

00:25:54.760 on, uh, immigration, global agenda. She was the first one back in the sixties. She was calling

00:25:59.460 out the wall street guys, but what she was really great at was she just never wavered. You know,

00:26:04.620 Donald Trump came to her funeral. So you were there September of 2020, 2016. Yeah.

00:26:09.240 We took time off because symbolically it was so important for us to be there and to honor her.

00:26:12.960 And she did been, she showed such courage. And he spoke, he spoke for president Trump spoke before

00:26:18.040 the funeral mass cause he knew he didn't, wasn't going to interrupt it, try to be in the center of it.

00:26:22.460 And he spoke for five or 10 minutes and he said, she never wavered. That's the thing. She loved America

00:26:26.660 and she never wavered. And she just kept going one day after another. And, and, you know,

00:26:30.540 one of my staffers, what worked at Phyllis Schlafly Eagles said to me once came to my office

00:26:34.060 at Gwen, and she said, I know what the thing is with Trump and Phyllis. Phyllis had died already.

00:26:37.940 And she said, the two of them, they just love America so much. They want it for everybody.

00:26:42.140 And that's what she fought for. So it is kind of her moment.

00:26:45.200 It's one of the most important moments of the 16 campaign.

00:26:47.720 Oh, amazing. Well, it's funny to see you were there and, uh, and, um, a president,

00:26:52.640 and his wife and there was a casket and there's a great photo of, uh, praying, praying. Yeah.

00:26:56.940 Nailing a he and Melania. Yeah. Amazing.

00:26:58.680 Nelton prayed in front of the casket of Phyllis Schlafly. It was very powerful.

00:27:01.400 Yeah. Ed Martin.

00:27:02.500 Okay, brother.

00:27:03.060 Thanks. Anytime in the neighborhood, just drop.

00:27:04.500 Yeah. Well, I'm checking on, I've got, I've checked the tags on your car. I'll check on that.

00:27:08.140 We'll get back in touch.

00:27:08.760 I've got the, uh, I think we've got to, we got to license this, uh, your, your, your, your London fall.

00:27:14.320 The Colombo, the Colombo. Yeah. All right.

00:27:16.040 Leticia James, uh, Ed Martin, uh, social media, where do people get you?

00:27:19.680 Uh, at Eagle Ed Martin is my private, my personal. That's the best place to be in touch.

00:27:23.300 Ed Martin. Thank you. We're going to leave you with the Marine Corps hymn.

00:27:26.060 Uh, we're going to be back in the war in a moment.

00:27:27.960 Eric Prince will be in the house a little later this morning.

00:27:30.360 Ed Martin. Thank you so much. Be back in a moment.

00:27:32.460 Ever since COVID millions of Americans have started buying preparedness supplies,

00:27:41.260 especially emergency food. And Hey, that's a good thing,

00:27:44.420 but there's a big mistake. Most people make with their emergency food supply.

00:27:48.560 They don't have any way to cook it in a real emergency when the power's out or the grid is down.

00:27:55.320 That's why our friends over at my Patriot supply create their black Friday survival special.

00:28:00.340 It comes with a four week food supply, plus $150 worth of free gifts,

00:28:06.600 including everything you need to prepare your emergency meals,

00:28:10.360 like a cook stove, fuel, fire starters, plus a water purifier, bug out bag, and more.

00:28:17.300 It's the complete survival kit.

00:28:19.060 Your family needs to write out natural disasters, civil unrest, or anything worse.

00:28:24.580 It also makes a great Christmas gift, but it's only available through Black Friday,

00:28:29.200 through Black Friday. So head right now to mypatriotsupply.com slash Bannon to check out

00:28:34.980 everything that's included. With all the uncertainty in the world right now,

00:28:38.780 we simply can't afford to be unprepared. So go to mypatriotsupply.com slash Bannon and get prepared

00:28:45.420 and get prepared today. That's mypatriotsupply.com slash Bannon.

00:28:51.220 Thank you very much for having me and for giving me this opportunity to speak to some of the American

00:28:58.260 people. What's different now is the assault on the ideal of equal justice under law. You just read

00:29:08.520 what I wrote that was published yesterday in the Atlantic, that the law is now evidently being used

00:29:18.060 repeatedly, regularly, for partisan purposes, to punish the president's perceived enemies and to

00:29:27.620 not investigate possible corruption or other criminal wrongdoing by his donors and his friends,

00:29:36.080 others in his orbit. These things have happened in the past. I was a young lawyer, as you know,

00:29:44.300 from reading the article, assistant to the attorney general after Watergate and what President Nixon

00:29:50.340 did periodically and secretly because he knew it was illegal or improper. President Trump appears to do

00:29:58.860 regularly. We have a series of things going on that are related, in my view, the directions to the

00:30:07.560 Department of Justice to prosecute perceived enemies, the abolition of the units in the FBI and the

00:30:18.000 Department of Justice that would ordinarily investigate public corruption or the evisceration of them in the

00:30:24.180 Justice Department, and the failure to investigate possible corruption, particularly by people who benefit the

00:30:33.400 president or the president or his interests. And this is utterly inconsistent with our ideal of equal justice under law.

00:30:40.960 They have the best week that they've had in a year and a half. And then fear and loathing and the wringing of hands

00:30:49.840 because they may reopen the government because, yes, there are some Democrats who understand that people are going hungry.

00:30:58.580 And what have they done? They have found out and they have exposed the White House that is working overtime

00:31:06.700 to give tax cuts to billionaires. At the same time, they're working overtime to take snap assistance,

00:31:14.500 to take food assistance from working Americans. And this is exposed just how much

00:31:22.300 the Republican Party hates the idea of helping working Americans, helping middle class Americans

00:31:30.140 who are struggling with health care. So you take that and you take the massive win that Democrats had

00:31:39.520 this past week, massive, historic in some ways, where Steve Bannon said Democrats erased 10 years of

00:31:48.120 Republican gains in one night. And why did that happen? Donald Trump said it happened because of the

00:31:55.180 government shutdown. So all this fear and loathing and all this whining, I wish Democrats for once,

00:32:01.400 just once could take a win and then understand the Republicans, they were never going to help

00:32:08.300 working Americans. They learned that through this process. So you know who else learned that through this

00:32:13.680 process, the American voter. Okay, they're going to be debating all this now they've reached, you know,

00:32:22.480 the filibuster limit 60 votes. So they're now going to start discussing it. And I'm told,

00:32:29.280 particularly people saying all the riffs are gone, none of the riffs, all the riffs, I'm told on the

00:32:35.200 people negotiate the deal are good, all this reduction in force of the government, Russ votes,

00:32:39.300 you know, team, all of those riffs up until this thing is agreed to, are all gone. So we'll see.

00:32:47.900 Right now, it's kind of, we're trying to find out exactly, some of this deal doesn't make any sense.

00:32:53.020 But anyway, we're going to pursue it throughout the day. Eric Prince, the only way you can follow

00:32:56.480 Ed Martin on a day like today is Eric Prince. Thank you for saving me because Ed Martin had to leave

00:33:01.120 and the audience is going to keep Ed. Steve, you leave and Ed Martin stays. So thank you so much for

00:33:06.440 being here. Ed is a great American. He's a great American. Talk about standing in the breach.

00:33:11.300 Talk to me about that for a second, because this is why Ed Martin has become such a folk

00:33:14.640 hero right now. I met him for the first time recently, and I just applaud the work he's doing.

00:33:23.300 And if we believe in a constitutional republic with actual accountability for malfeasance,

00:33:29.340 especially people that are going to weaponize government against citizens. Well, you know,

00:33:33.560 because government, they've been weaponized against you forever. In fact, the last 600

00:33:37.720 meters tonight, 10 o'clock, uh, and we showed it on the big screen a couple of weeks ago.

00:33:43.540 You were so nice to come for the, for the opening. It's an amazing film. It's just a fantastic

00:33:48.000 piece of work. Because it shows just more. And by the way, it is what Marines do every day

00:33:52.560 of their life in the, in Fallujah, Najaf in Fallujah is just the grunts, ground pounding, no glory

00:33:58.940 in it. It's just, you're doing it for the core, you're doing it for the country.

00:34:01.700 It's like one big scrum and they just pushed way harder. It's just amazing. In fact, I met

00:34:07.840 you when we were talking about this film. I came and saw it because the opening segment

00:34:12.340 of the film, which is the most brutal, it's, it, the film is essentially unrated and it's

00:34:18.160 because we have some brutal things of combat, but it starts with the attack on your, on your

00:34:23.680 ambush of our, your guys in Fallujah and, uh, strung from a bridge. And that's when it got

00:34:28.780 personal for people. Oh yeah. Um, talk to me about the governance target you. So that

00:34:34.880 was 17. That was eight. Actually we were making it. So the very beginning stages. So that was

00:34:40.340 almost 20 years ago. You were targeted then. I mean, uh, the Obama administration and Holder

00:34:47.120 literally targeted you at that time. Cause before Trump came on the scene or other people came

00:34:52.680 in the scene, you were kind of their number one target. Were you not? They threw every

00:34:57.300 aspect of the federal government at us. They tried to bankrupt you. Oh my God. They, they,

00:35:01.460 I was paying about two and a half million dollars a month for two, two years in legal fees,

00:35:06.780 two and a half million a month, a month. And your crime had been defending, serving the country,

00:35:12.780 the U S government, serving the state department to the letter of a competitive, of a competitively

00:35:18.060 bid thousand page contract. We did exactly what they wanted. And, um, I think the left hates

00:35:25.420 anything that shows it to be more efficient than what government is doing.

00:35:30.980 Also, also they hate patriots. If you, if this is a post constitutional, this is why a lot

00:35:36.300 of the constitutional conservatives come to me and go, Oh, you know, I say, this is a post

00:35:40.220 constitutional, uh, we're living in a post-constitutional age because of what the

00:35:44.740 Democrats have done. This is why it's so important today. And I'll get it out. Ed Martin kind of put

00:35:48.800 out the rationale for how they stole the 2020 election. Right. And this is why the president

00:35:53.880 gave these pardons, uh, the pardon at a federal level to these folks. Uh, I actually think it'd be

00:35:59.620 applied to the state, but we'll see the next couple of days they're targeting those people that they

00:36:04.640 think are making a difference, right? The nail that sticks up the highest is definitely getting the

00:36:08.380 hammer. That's for sure. And, um, you know, fall down two times, get up three.

00:36:13.800 I have you on today. We wanted you here because, uh, one, I want to talk about what you've been

00:36:18.360 working on the last couple of years on, on this communication side, but on the 250th, uh,

00:36:24.000 commemoration. And by the way, we're going to go to Philadelphia as soon as we're having a slight

00:36:27.700 technical problem is raining there. This is a group of, uh, Ernie Preate, uh, Alexander Preate's dad,

00:36:33.120 who is a Marine veteran, hardcore combat in Vietnam. And a bunch of, uh, Marines who served

00:36:39.100 in Vietnam in intense combat are having, are kicking off the commemoration today at the,

00:36:43.860 at the Vietnam moral memorial in Philadelphia. Of course, a ton tavern today throughout the

00:36:48.780 entire day. We're going to be here 10 PM tonight after 17 years. Uh, they're going to, we're going

00:36:55.900 to have the national broadcast of the last 600 meters, uh, which is a, I guess a story. You could say,

00:37:02.360 Terawa, Peleliu, uh, you know, the, the Marines throughout history, this is what they do,

00:37:08.020 right? It's that, it's that, it's a pound, it's just ground pounding and unrelenting and

00:37:11.960 never stopping. Yeah. They, they, they tend to make a mark wherever they show up. I mean,

00:37:16.300 when the U S entered world war one and they get to Belu Wood and that's where they earned

00:37:22.620 the name Teufelhunda, devil dogs, because they just talk about that fought. It's hard. It's

00:37:28.160 also the reason they're there. Some of the government don't like when you say that it's

00:37:31.760 Bella Wood is also the reason they were not in Normandy for the greatest amphibious landing

00:37:37.760 in history. They were so good at Bella Wood. The powers of being DC said, Hey, I don't,

00:37:42.500 we don't, we want the Marine state amphibious. We don't know if we want them that far inland.

00:37:45.960 That's supposed to be the army's job. Let's send them to the Pacific. 1.00

00:37:48.580 There is no question. Look, it's a competitive thing. SEAL team six is better because of Delta

00:37:54.360 force and vice versa. And I, and I saw it a lot in Iraq and Afghanistan that the competitive

00:38:00.760 nature and the Marines would find a way, the attitude of the Marine Corps that every Marine

00:38:05.380 is a rifleman, right? Because everybody likes to break into all these different MOSs, military

00:38:09.660 occupational specialties, a cook, a radar guy, whatever. Everybody in the Marine Corps knows

00:38:16.320 how to shoot, move and communicate first, super important. And they demonstrated that in the

00:38:22.240 ground combat in Iraq and Afghanistan again and again.

00:38:25.300 What, um, talk to me today, a little controversial. Uh, the Syrian president is going to arrive at the

00:38:35.040 White House. In fact, it's going to be around 11 o'clock. There's not going to be any ceremony.

00:38:39.620 I think it's closed to the press throughout the day. There's discussion, of course, of folks in the

00:38:45.200 audience that want to see us America first. And I want to ask you about Venezuela. Also want to see

00:38:49.960 America first and a little concerned about this. They're now talking about a base in Syria that we

00:38:55.160 may be staffing. Your thoughts on, uh, your thoughts on the, on the, on the Syrian president,

00:38:59.040 because he, on the 250th anniversary of the Marine Corps, maybe not the best day to have this guy

00:39:04.160 show up because a lot of, uh, Iraq and Afghanistan was because of this.

00:39:09.480 Well, yeah, certainly Assad was, uh, was, was supplying the rat line of foreign fighters that were 0.99

00:39:14.360 feeding into Iraq. Um, look, Jelani is a rebadged jihadi, uh, with a much better haircut and a

00:39:23.060 better, uh, and a better tailor. Um, I'm not going to... You've got Petraeus glazing him. I can play

00:39:28.980 that clip. No, no, come on, brother. You got, he's going to the, was the UN, the, the meetings

00:39:34.080 before the UN and David Petraeus, which, who led the 101st, right up there with the Kurds. Remember 0.97

00:39:41.580 they, the Turks blocked them and they had to actually do a parachute. They had to do an 0.72

00:39:45.840 airdrop in, uh, he's glazing this guy, right? We want to know, are you getting enough sleep?

00:39:51.140 Remember that? I mean, what is going on with the, the globalist establishment is embrace this guy

00:39:55.840 like nobody's business. Jelani is there because Turkey installed him. That, that was a black swan 0.93

00:40:02.920 event organized by Turkish intelligence and the Turkish special operations. They put their guy in

00:40:08.660 and it's definitely, uh, Turkey flexing its Ottoman origins to extend his reach.

00:40:14.620 You mean the same Turks that are doing the security in, uh, in, in Gaza, of which Netanyahu

00:40:19.360 already said over the weekend, a Turks will never set foot in Gaza to do security. I said 1.00

00:40:24.620 he ought to read the, he ought to read the document they signed. Um, Turkey is reversing

00:40:30.720 everything that General Allenby, the British Lawrence of Arabia did back in World War I, right?

00:40:36.380 We drove the Ottoman Empire. We drove, we drove it from the two sacred sites. The Sykes-Picot 1.00

00:40:41.020 agreement was, uh, to keep them out, kept them out. And cause the Ottoman Empire had really 0.97

00:40:46.200 collapsed. Uh, and then you had, but people don't remember, they controlled Mecca and Medina 0.99

00:40:51.460 for almost a thousand years, I think, right? Or 600 years. They, they controlled the two holy 0.80

00:40:56.760 sites for, and that's how they got the Ottoman Caliphate got its, got its, uh, source of

00:41:02.380 legitimacy from doing that. Driving those, driving the Turks out. And that's what the 1.00

00:41:07.500 Arab revolt was about, to drive the Turks out.

00:41:09.080 But remember, they built upon the infrastructure built by the Christian Eastern Empire.

00:41:14.060 100%. Yes, the Byzantines. 0.88

00:41:15.840 They subsumed the Byzantines, and they extended Islam from there. 0.98

00:41:20.060 All the administrative, I mean, the Byzantine Empire was a, a slightly bureaucratic, right?

00:41:24.740 They had a great headache.

00:41:25.320 That's where the word Byzantine comes from.

00:41:26.560 Exactly. Exactly. But the fact is, it was the Eastern Roman Empire and it worked and

00:41:31.240 it was a functioning high grade society and, and, and Islamic invader took that over and 0.97

00:41:39.080 then extended it by force.

00:41:40.580 So now the Turks are back in, right? I, I'm anti the greater Israel project, right? So, 1.00

00:41:47.700 but I keep saying for everybody that fought for Israel to have a, just a one state solution,

00:41:52.140 you have a two state solution in Gaza, right? There's no doubt. The Qataris are funding it.

00:41:57.340 Two million Gazans are going to stay. And you've got the Turks organizing the UAE troops,

00:42:04.620 the Egyptian troops, and the Saudi troops in a security apparatus. So you have a two state

00:42:08.960 solution. Now with the situation in Syria, you're actually partnering with the Turks even more,

00:42:14.480 are you not?

00:42:14.980 Yeah. I've, um, I've largely given up on that region. I'm, I'm focused on other spots.

00:42:21.940 How can you give up? I wanted to get to that. You, you were the ax in the space in that region.

00:42:26.580 You knew more about that region and the players than anybody.

00:42:29.360 Yes. And, uh, I guess, hang on, we're going to leave with the Marine Corps him.

00:42:33.680 Eric Prince is with us. Um, we're going to talk about some geo strategic issues. We're also

00:42:39.080 going to go to Philadelphia as soon as we get it sorted, a little rain there, but Hey,

00:42:42.400 rain never stopped the Marine Corps back in a minute. Skin is waterproof.

00:42:51.480 When you're buried in credit card and loan debt, it's only human nature to put it off and say,

00:42:56.320 Hey, I'll deal with this later. If that's you, here's a hidden fact. The debt strategy experts

00:43:02.440 at done with debt shared with me, they discovered a little known strategy that works in your favor

00:43:08.200 to dramatically reduce or even erase your debt altogether. They aggressively engage everyone

00:43:14.180 you owe money to in September. And here's why they know which lenders and credit card companies are

00:43:19.240 doing year end accounting and need to cut deals. They even know which ones have year end audits and

00:43:24.860 need to get your debt off the books quickly. That means you need to get started with done with debt.

00:43:30.580 Now done with debt accomplishes this without bankruptcy or new loans. In fact, most clients end up with

00:43:37.440 more money in their pocket. The first month, get started now. While you still have time, go to done

00:43:43.560 with debt.com and talk with one of their specialists for free done with debt.com done with debt.com.

00:43:51.660 Take advantage of this. These people are aggressive. They're smart and they're tough.

00:43:55.480 You want them on your side. Done with debt.com.

00:44:02.340 The entire day today, we are commemorating one of the great institutions in our country,

00:44:08.620 the United States Marine Corps. They at the Q&A after the screening, we had the premier of last

00:44:15.240 600 meters a couple of weeks ago. One of the Marines, they had the, they had the heroes of the story

00:44:19.960 there. And one of the Marines said, if you just let us do our job, we will never lose. If the

00:44:26.320 politicians stay out of the way and they take us off the chain, there's nobody that can beat us. We

00:44:30.660 will never lose. And I, and the audience, it was very powerful. We have to be reminded of that,

00:44:34.640 right? Take us off the chain. That was my podcast. It's called Off Leash for a reason.

00:44:40.100 We'll talk to you about your podcast. Siri, look, the president, they're trying to, he's trying to

00:44:44.620 juggle a lot of things. We are adamantly opposed to the greater Israel project, right? We are, 0.85

00:44:50.660 we are huge defenders of Israel, but this whole thing of the expansion into the Sinai.

00:44:55.800 Not our problem. Not our issue. It's also going to destroy them because they don't really have

00:44:59.880 the military wherewithal to do it. They don't have the troops. The IDF is beat up. The IDF did not

00:45:04.160 want to go back into Gaza to do this. And they had a huge amount of friendly fire casualties.

00:45:08.000 What do you mean by that? Uh, blue on blue, as in getting smacked by their own missiles,

00:45:14.280 their own. You mean just miscommunications, targeting problems, issues? Yeah. Look,

00:45:17.660 urban fighting with that much firepower is tough. Is very tough. And you see this in the movie tonight,

00:45:22.660 Salusia, you got the Marines. Danger close. The best of the best. And then danger close is,

00:45:25.900 you know, meters away. So yes, the United States does not need to put a base in Syria. If you want to

00:45:33.140 have a commercial presence there, the Deir Azur oil fields in the East, which is kind of the main

00:45:37.720 asset that Syria had, was producing 400,000 barrels a day, have that be operated by a Western

00:45:43.520 company. Put an airfield there, make that a commercial base, but not a U.S. military base.

00:45:50.480 That way, Syria can have U.S. presence, but it's commercial presence. It doesn't have to be

00:45:55.600 uniformed active duty personnel. The president has been trying to pivot back to hemispheric defense.

00:46:01.740 You and I have talked about this a lot. You're a huge proponent from the Arctic and Greenland,

00:46:04.980 the box in the Russian Navy, all the way to the Panama Canal, and also reassert ourselves in a

00:46:10.180 Monroe Doctrine 2.0 in Latin America, whether that is, and we still don't fully understand the bailout

00:46:15.840 of Argentina, but that's part of a financial bailout. Somehow get the Bolsonaro's back,

00:46:20.500 although you got to play footsie with Lula and the Marxists for a while, given their relationship

00:46:25.220 with the Chinese Communist Party. You have to wean them off that. But Venezuela, a lot of our audience 0.99

00:46:30.780 is just they're sitting there going, we don't get the Venezuelan part of this, particularly when you've got

00:46:36.100 an amphibious ready group of 4,000, you know, sailors and fleet marines off of Venezuela, and people are

00:46:43.020 talking about going in and doing strikes to take the logistics hubs, the airfields, the television

00:46:48.600 stations. What is your idea about what is going on in Venezuela now and what should be going? Because you and I

00:46:55.840 have talked about Venezuela, I don't know, for at least a decade, right? You've had very definitive

00:47:01.220 thoughts on this for a while. This is my frustration with the CIA, that if you had the CIA that was

00:47:07.320 offering practical, deliverable covert action programs to amp up and to actually deliver that

00:47:13.980 kinetic pressure at the margin, that the president could get the outcomes that he's seeking, right?

00:47:20.000 The fact is, a year ago July... In other words, you don't need to bring the big hammer of the fleet

00:47:24.800 marines down if he had covert action. Look, if you think about the continuum of statecraft, you have

00:47:28.860 10% that can be done by diplomats and embassies. The other 10% should be the deterrence of a massive

00:47:36.120 snarling attack dog of the conventional US military waiting to be let off leash. And then the 80% in the

00:47:43.300 middle is the intelligence world, where good covert action, selectively engaging a couple of targets

00:47:49.280 just inside Venezuela, drives Maduro to a decision to say, if I stay here, high chance I'm going to get

00:47:56.440 injured. Hasn't he gone to president? President Trump said the other day that Maduro has agreed to

00:48:01.020 everything that President Trump has said except for the immediate leaving. And does he leave the

00:48:05.880 country or does he go to Spain? He can go to Spain. It would be a huge infusion of capital for Spain's

00:48:11.760 economy, good for Spain. But look, you have to... Maduro and the apparatchiks around him all have

00:48:18.520 to go. It's not a matter of just him going. You have to get rid of Delcy Rodriguez and Jorge and...

00:48:23.860 In fact, the lieutenants are worse than he is.

00:48:26.900 Correct. And I think that's the other impediment that the...

00:48:30.300 Talk to us about some of those lieutenants. How bad are they?

00:48:32.140 Teistado Cabello is the Minister of Interior and is a total gangster thug. And so those are the kind 0.93

00:48:39.280 of people that the CIA should take out because the fact is they completely stole the election a year

00:48:46.000 ago, July. And the Venezuelan narco and oil money funds all kinds of other leftist subversion and

00:48:55.240 gangs and drug activity into the United States. That's our interest, making that stop. There is

00:49:02.060 a legitimate election. Some people say that Marco is interested in this because you've got the

00:49:08.160 Venezuelans in South Florida, who you know, and the Cubans, and they see the road, the path to Havana

00:49:14.540 goes through Caracas. Your thoughts?

00:49:18.800 The, when Castro took over in 59, they attached themselves like a tick out of the Soviet Union

00:49:25.760 and sucked those resources. Then when the Soviet Union collapses in 91, they were kind of

00:49:31.900 adrift for a while. They attached themselves to Venezuela, sent thousands and thousands of 0.94

00:49:36.240 doctors and security apparatus personnel to get cash from the oil revenue, to take cash

00:49:41.420 from the oil revenue. And so Cuba's economy is subsidized heavily by Venezuelan crude.

00:49:47.680 And they're also, they've got, they've got intelligence or paramilitary, full on fellow

00:49:53.420 travelers, fellow travelers. Okay. So what do you do with that situation? Some people think we're

00:49:59.080 being pushed into this because of the, you know, the, the, the, the, the whole situation

00:50:03.700 in Cuba. 1.00

00:50:05.480 Well, the fact is the, the, the Marxist paradise in Cuba is an absolute total shit show. Even 1.00

00:50:12.340 before this last hurricane, they couldn't even keep the electricity on for 12 hours a day.

00:50:16.000 I mean, there's actually starvation. There's no protein when you're in Miami and you get

00:50:21.380 a Miami tax taxi driver, a Cuban that says, yes, my family, I have to send them sugar from 1.00

00:50:27.840 Cuba or sorry, from Florida back to Cuba because they can't even buy it in Cuba anymore. That's

00:50:33.520 when you're talking about covert action and paramilitary activity. Do you put a bounty

00:50:37.060 on Maduro and just finish it that way?

00:50:39.880 That's I wish the president would do that because they've, they've say they've raised the bounties

00:50:44.080 on these, but if you read the fine print, it says 5 million, 10 million, 50 million for

00:50:49.880 information leading to the arrest of, if they went back to kind of the old school rooster

00:50:55.000 cogburn, U S Marshall approach, 50 million dead or alive. I think you'd see some generals

00:51:02.220 in Venezuela would take that deal.

00:51:04.160 And, and you might see Maduro negotiating his exit sooner to get the hell out of there.

00:51:08.700 It would cause a clarity of mind.

00:51:10.180 Clarity of focus. Um, but right now 4,000 sailors and fleet Marines off the coast.

00:51:17.320 I, I doubt, I hope that the president would not invade Venezuela with that force package.

00:51:22.720 Look, the fact is a battalion of Marines could take out the entire Venezuelan armed forces of

00:51:27.040 this. I have no doubt not to bet. Not that is not their best use. This is a role for the

00:51:32.400 intelligence apparatus to apply very precise pressure on very, very bad people on the make

00:51:38.740 them choose life and escaping with their ill gotten money.
