Just confirmed Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry are under federal
00:00:05.520
criminal investigation by the Trump Justice Department for allegedly obstructing federal
00:00:11.320
immigration enforcement. That's according to two sources familiar with the matter. Fry's office
00:00:16.400
tells us they've heard rumors, but have not received formal notice from DOJ on the matter.
00:00:23.220
Just minutes ago, Governor Walz released this statement, quote, two days ago, it was Alisa
00:00:28.640
Slotkin. Last week, it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system
00:00:35.740
and threatening political opponents is a dangerous authoritarian tactic. The only person not being
00:00:41.260
investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her. Michael, details are
00:00:47.540
pretty thin at this moment, but we do understand that grand jury subpoenas are being prepared if
00:00:52.980
they haven't been issued already, although it's not clear that anyone has been served with those
00:00:57.300
subpoenas. We understand that this is an investigation being run out of the U.S. Attorney's
00:01:01.520
Office in Minneapolis and that one of the statutes they're looking at is USC 372, which makes it a
00:01:07.480
crime to impede or assault an officer. And it's connected to, it appears to be connected to statements
00:01:15.000
that the governor and the mayor have made encouraging people to exercise their rights, essentially, when it
00:01:20.340
comes to immigration enforcement and the activities of ICE in the state. And a lot of people, as you just
00:01:26.520
said, are going to see this as a weaponization of the Justice Department against political
00:01:30.480
opponents. These are both Democrats, obviously, the mayor and the governor. But nonetheless, this
00:01:35.400
investigation is proceeding and we'll just have to see where it goes from here.
00:01:39.540
Racial profiling so prevalent that a mayor of a major U.S. city is herself concerned that she could be a
00:01:48.420
target of that racial profiling. And perhaps we would be surprised, Congressman, if not for the fact
00:01:54.100
that that racial profiling had been sanctioned by the U.S. Supreme Court.
00:01:59.200
You know, Simone was quoting James Baldwin a few minutes ago. And when I pulled up to the Minnesota
00:02:05.200
State Capitol building in St. Paul this morning, I noticed the street signs in the ring road around
00:02:11.640
the Capitol is Dr. Martin Luther King Boulevard. And I thought to myself, what would Dr. King think right
00:02:18.720
now? What would he say right now? What would he call us to do in this moment? And Mayor Hur, who we heard
00:02:24.960
from today, is the embodiment of Dr. King's dream. And we see the Trump administration explicitly
00:02:34.520
targeting people across this country based on their race. The Supreme Court of the United States
00:02:39.680
sanctioning it. It is disgusting and it is un-American and it has to stop.
00:02:45.100
It's an imperfect precedent, which is what happened in 2020, which I think is very instructive and I
00:02:51.420
think probably unrecognized. You know, in 2020, we've had George Floyd killed by law enforcement
00:02:55.960
in the city of Minneapolis. We saw protests emerge there and elsewhere. And what we also saw was we
00:03:01.280
saw Donald Trump step up and for really the first time as president, try and enforce his will, try and
00:03:09.040
be the iron fist that he's always wanted to be in that city, in particular and elsewhere. He eventually
00:03:14.120
went on and said that Tim Walz did a good job in 2020. People, I think, may forget. And it's
00:03:18.500
important to remember. But yeah, I mean, what we're seeing here really is, can be distilled to four
00:03:22.740
words, which is how dare you object? All of this is downstream from Donald Trump and his cronies and
00:03:28.860
his allies, feeling as though it is improper for anyone to say you shouldn't do these things.
00:03:34.780
Ice sweeping into Minneapolis, if you are protesting, how dare you do that? If you are saying,
00:03:40.060
Donald Trump, you can't you can't invoke the Instruction Act, how dare you? I get to do what
00:03:43.480
I want as president. All of that, I think, has its birth in 2020, probably before that in his
00:03:48.680
presidency. But really, we're seeing resonate now. So there's an element of him coming back here to
00:03:52.820
finish the job. 100 percent. I mean, you I mean, we heard all these reports in 2020, how he wanted
00:03:57.100
to have the protesters be confronted by soldiers, how he got rid of Mark Esper because Mark Esper
00:04:01.340
wouldn't invoke the Instruction Act. All of that is leading to this moment where he's very eager to move
00:04:06.980
forward. This was foreseeable. But it doesn't mean that we're helpless at this point. I mean,
00:04:12.760
there are ways to discourage or keep the president from invoking the Insurrection Act, which I think
00:04:18.760
he will do. And I'll tell you quickly why I think he will do it. I had a conversation with Stephen
00:04:22.880
Miller about this at the end of my time in the first term on the second floor of the West Wing
00:04:27.000
of the White House, where he basically intimated that they would try to do things like this as fast
00:04:32.460
as humanly possible to run them up to the Supreme Court so they would know what the boundaries of
00:04:38.200
the Supreme Court's tolerance for executive power would be. And so if Donald Trump is going to do
00:04:43.300
it, if he's going to invoke the Insurrection Act, that's this year. It's going to happen in 2026 if
00:04:47.600
it's going to happen at all. And that's why I think they're trending towards it. And you saw Stephen
00:04:51.620
Miller in the past couple of days frequently referencing the term insurrectionist. Insurrectionist.
00:04:56.320
Yeah. It's not an accident. It's not an accident. They're laying the legal pretext. So I think it will
00:04:59.820
happen. But the reason I'm not surprised, he's been forecasting it. And I think President Trump's
00:05:05.260
getting very close to a Kent State moment, which if you go back to May of 1970, this was the Ohio
00:05:10.080
National Guard that ended up shooting four protesters and killing them at Kent State during the Vietnam
00:05:15.620
protests. But it was one of the things that led to Richard Nixon's deteriorating popularity in his
00:05:21.520
exit from office. So I think we're getting closer to one of those. If this is not that moment, we're moving
00:05:26.220
in that direction where this is going to ultimately redound to hurt the president and the claims that
00:05:33.440
he's making about the violence on the part of protesters is actually twisted and turned entirely
00:05:37.560
around. This is not the America we want. This is not the Minnesota we deserve. And we will fight back.
00:05:45.660
This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on
00:05:56.640
these people. You're just not got a free shot. All these networks lying about the people. The people
00:06:03.080
have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you've tried to do everything
00:06:07.000
in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen. And where do people
00:06:10.580
like that go to share the big line? MAGA Media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people
00:06:18.400
had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my
00:06:26.340
country, this country will be saved. War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:06:33.560
It's Saturday, 17 January in the year of our Lord, 2026. Welcome for our Saturday show, which is my,
00:06:48.500
as you know, my favorite show of the week. We're absolutely packed today. We're going to be talking
00:06:52.280
about artificial intelligence, chip design. How does China get the chips? We're going to be
00:06:58.380
obviously focus on Canada. Big story in the Daily Mail last night by Charlie Spearing,
00:07:05.480
Charlie formerly at Breitbart now at the Daily Mail, about my calling Canada, potentially the next
00:07:11.580
Ukraine, what President Trump's got to do about it. We're going to go to Arizona, talk about politics
00:07:17.360
out there in Florida, about this insurrection act and support what Governor DeSantis is trying to
00:07:24.520
accomplish with his support of ICE. But I want to start with this insurrection. And also correct,
00:07:30.980
the individual there, they had so many false statements. This is why we play the cold open is
00:07:34.820
to get your juices flowing in the morning, get your blood up of all the nonsense and lies and
00:07:41.960
misrepresentations that the mainstream media, the corporate media, particularly MSNBC, CNN,
00:07:46.660
New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, try to spin against the president.
00:07:51.740
The Kent State situation was in May of 1970. Yo dude, Nixon won a landslide after that.
00:07:59.800
And one of the reasons was he was dropping the hammer on the protesters and trying to prosecute
00:08:04.260
the Vietnam War at the same time. I want to introduce our first guest. I want to talk about
00:08:09.560
Insurrection Act. Stuart Rhodes joins us. Stuart, first off, they say President Trump's trying to
00:08:15.640
lay the legal groundwork. Talk to me, what are your thoughts on what broke overnight of the criminal
00:08:20.580
investigation into Mayor Frye in Minneapolis and Governor Walz of Minnesota, sir? No, I think that's
00:08:27.540
exactly the right. It's long overdue. It's exactly the right course. But I believe President Trump
00:08:32.180
must channel his inner Lincoln and use the Insurrection Act now to defeat the deep state
00:08:39.860
and defeat the ongoing coup that's been going on since 2016. We saw it in 2020. In fact, in 2020,
00:08:45.700
I wrote open letters to President Trump in November, December, and January of 2020, urging him to invoke
00:08:51.360
the Insurrection Act and to take down this Marxist coup that's across our country. And so he needs to do
00:08:57.300
this. And he needs to do it because this is what it takes. This is why the Insurrection Act exists.
00:09:01.940
Lincoln did it in the Civil War. Jefferson signed it into law and used it himself. Grant used it to put
00:09:08.800
down the KKK. JFK used it to desegregate schools. Eisenhower used it in Little Rock, Arkansas. In
00:09:15.520
fact, that's the most direct parallel is what President Eisenhower did when the governor of
00:09:21.120
Arkansas called up his National Guard and deployed them to block the black students from coming in
00:09:27.140
to go to school. Eisenhower nationalized the National Guard of Arkansas, and then he deployed the
00:09:33.420
101st Airborne to put a stamp on it, a thousand paratroopers in the streets to escort the kids.
00:09:38.880
And it was actually safer for everyone because after that, no one wants to dance with the 101st
00:09:44.440
Airborne and the National Guardsmen. We're not going to go against direct orders of the President of
00:09:48.680
the United States as their commander in chief. I think President Trump should follow Eisenhower's
00:09:52.700
example exactly and do exactly the same thing. Stuart, let's go back to 2020. Your argument was
00:10:00.640
the Summer of Love. I take it that was also in Minneapolis, the Black Lives Matter, the George
00:10:06.500
Floyd situation. Is that what you, at that time, walk me through your logic then. Absolutely. Same
00:10:11.840
thing. You have an open insurrection across the country. I mean, look at, they're burning down
00:10:15.800
police precincts in Portland, Oregon. They tried to burn down the federal courthouse with U.S.
00:10:20.520
marshals inside. Across the country, in Las Vegas, you had insurrectionists shooting at,
00:10:26.260
or trying to shoot at, court security at federal courthouses, and they were killed. You had another
00:10:31.300
attack on a federal courthouse where an officer was killed in California. So across the country,
00:10:36.380
you had direct violation of federal law, direct armed insurrection against federal law being
00:10:42.020
enforced, and also terrorism against the American people. So the Insurrection Act is very clear that
00:10:48.520
whenever the President himself determines that, like I'll read it to you right here, section
00:10:53.000
332 of the Insurrection Act. This is 10 U.S. Code, section 331-332. Whenever the President
00:11:00.860
considers that unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages, or rebellion against the authority
00:11:06.820
of the United States make it impracticable to enforce the laws of the United States in any state
00:11:12.400
by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, that's what we have, he may call into federal
00:11:17.700
service such of the militia of any state and use such of the armed forces as he considers
00:11:22.960
necessary to enforce those laws or to suppress the rebellion. And section 333 continues,
00:11:30.660
interference with state and federal law. The President, by using the militia or the armed
00:11:35.400
forces or both, or by any other means, shall take such measures as he considers necessary to suppress
00:11:42.920
in a state any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy, if, at one,
00:11:50.440
so hinders the execution of laws of that state and of the United States within the state that any part
00:11:57.140
or class of its people is deprived of a right, privilege, immunity, or protection named in the
00:12:03.140
Constitution and secured by law, and constituted authorities of that state are unable, fail, or refuse
00:12:10.740
to protect that right, privilege, or immunity, or to give that protection. We had that in 2020.
00:12:16.600
You had stand-down orders being given to police officers across the country. My organization,
00:12:22.320
Oath Keepers and Proud Boys, were out there in the streets doing the best they could to protect
00:12:26.240
people because police chiefs were given orders to stand down right after Trump came into office
00:12:31.760
and allowed Antifa to rage across the country and beat Trump supporters from 2017 on. So thousands of
00:12:38.120
times across the country, we had to step up and protect Trump supporters because there was a vacuum
00:12:42.840
when the police were standing down obeying illegal and unconstitutional orders. So President Trump
00:12:47.900
should have invoked the Insurrection Act in 2020 for all of those reasons to protect the rights of the
00:12:52.280
American people, and he should do it now. The American people have the right not to be raped and murdered
00:12:57.800
by illegal aliens who've been flooding into our country by design. We're suing to a conspiracy to destroy
00:13:03.320
this country. Tens of millions of illegal aliens, violent illegal aliens, have come into our country with
00:13:08.660
the Democrats' blessings for the purposes of destroying this country and giving them a permanent
00:13:13.660
lock on power through illegitimate illegal votes. That's exactly what's happening. And so it's not
00:13:18.540
just about what's going on in the streets of Minnesota. It's what's going on in the halls of
00:13:22.340
Congress. It's what's going on in our courts. You have complicit communist judges who do the best
00:13:27.160
they can to rubber stamp whatever the left wants to do and then block anything President Trump wants
00:13:33.080
to do. Stuart, hang on. I'm going to hold you through the break. Stuart Rhodes is with us,
00:13:39.300
a discussion of the criminal investigations of Mayor Fry, Governor Walz, and the invocation of the
00:13:47.600
Insurrection Act. A lot of people around President Trump said, we've got to go, we've got to go now,
00:13:52.680
different than 2020 when he had Millian Esper. Remember, Millian Esper left Lafayette Park,
00:13:58.700
went back to the Pentagon, and they admitted in their memoirs where they called each other and
00:14:03.160
said, no, we have to block Trump. We have to make a pact to block Trump, which is, I believe,
00:14:08.960
Millie ought to be recalled to active duty even before Mark Kelly put on a court-martial.
00:14:15.020
Short commercial break. We're going to have Chris Tomlinson, formerly of Breitbart, now over at
00:14:20.480
National Pulse. And Brian Kennedy join us later for a discussion of Mark Carney, his kowtow to the
00:14:27.900
Chinese Communist Party in Beijing, and specifically what he said about working with
00:14:33.220
the Chinese on their currency, to bolster their currency as a world currency. Canada has now
00:14:37.920
joined the BRICS nations, and Carney is one of the leaders in this BRIC-A-L-Delfia. Find out the

00:16:11.720
Stuart Rhodes is with us in the discussion. He's an expert on the Insurrection Act. Stuart,
00:16:16.080
you made the case that we had a nationwide revolt in 2020, right? Violence of police officers all over
00:16:21.920
the place, country out of control. President Trump wanted to invoke the Insurrection Act,
00:16:25.440
talked out of it. Esper Millie, that entire crowd fought him tooth and nail. Now you're seeing that
00:16:31.760
they're trying to block any type of, forget mass deportations, any type of deportations of the bad
00:16:38.300
own grace, the criminal element. Is it weak in President Trump's case that he did not invoke it
00:16:45.560
in 2020 in the process of invoking it today? No, not at all. What he can say is now he's learned
00:16:53.120
that he was being given bad advice. He had, you know, Bill Barr, an inside poison pill inside of
00:16:59.540
his administration advising him not to do what he had the authority to do and the duty to do.
00:17:03.560
So he should just go back and look at what Eisenhower did. And the reason why I bring that
00:17:08.760
up is because you've got Tim Walls, the governor of Minnesota, putting a warning order out to his
00:17:15.080
National Guard to be ready to obey his commands, emphasizing they are our National Guard. He's on
00:17:21.500
the cusp of doing what happened in Little Lock, Arkansas, where you had a state governor calling
00:17:27.520
forth his National Guard to block federal law enforcement. And so I think President Trump should
00:17:31.920
just preempt it, just nationalize the Minnesota National Guard, remove that piece from the
00:17:37.020
chessboard, put them under his command. And I believe he should do what Eisenhower did. He should
00:17:41.080
call forth the 104th Airborne. They're still there. They still exist. Bring them in. It makes it much
00:17:46.460
tougher to argue against that. He's doing exactly the same thing Eisenhower did to enforce federal
00:17:50.560
law. And Eisenhower said, I'm doing this to enforce the supremacy clause, that laws passed by the United
00:17:56.420
States and the rulings of the Supreme Court, Brown versus Board of Education, to desegregate the
00:18:03.040
schools. That has primacy over states. States can't block federal law. That's what we're seeing now is a
00:18:08.980
repeat of what was done in the South trying to carry on discrimination. It's the same thing now. You
00:18:14.260
have states trying to use their powers to block federal law enforcement of obviously constitutional
00:18:20.020
immigration laws. And we all know why. It's because they're trying to destroy our country with
00:18:23.800
massive import importation of foreigners, just like what's done in Europe. It's meant to replace
00:18:28.640
the American people with someone they think is more pliable, who will vote Democrat and give them
00:18:33.140
a permanent lock on power. By the way, we ought to start with recalling the brigade. I think we've
00:18:40.100
gotten Romania on the Ukrainian border of the 101st Airborne. We ought to recall those. And those are
00:18:44.260
the troops we're going to send to Minnesota. Last question. You've mentioned Barr, Esper, and Millie.
00:18:51.400
There are criminal investigations right now of Fry and Walls on this activity in Minnesota. Do you
00:18:59.100
believe, we're still within the statute of limitations, do you believe that he should open
00:19:04.260
criminal investigations of those three for their actions around the summer of love in 2020, sir?
00:19:11.260
Yeah, absolutely. We should go way beyond that. That's why in combination with evoking the
00:19:15.400
insurrection act, I've always said he should also do a mass declassification. He should take Tulsi Gabbard
00:19:21.240
and Pete Hegseth and have them go take over with the military, military intelligence, taking over the
00:19:26.500
CIA, FBI, NSA buildings, and declassify anything that's not legitimate national security and expose
00:19:33.120
the dirt that the intelligence agencies use to control politicians and judges. And he should start
00:19:39.000
with the corrupt judges. Because if he does not clean out the corrupt judges, they're going to start
00:19:42.680
issuing injunctions against him and trying to block him. And if they do that, he should be like Jackson
00:19:47.180
and say, well, they made the ruling. Let's see them enforce it. But I believe he should use
00:19:50.820
disclosure, declassification and disclosure and exposure is what they fear the most. So they fear
00:19:56.340
his absolute authority. No one can stop him. He can declassify anything. He can go dump out all the dirt,
00:20:02.020
all the skeletons out of the closet across the country and expose the deep state once and for all,
00:20:06.400
not just on the streets of Minnesota, but in the halls of Congress, in our federal judiciary,
00:20:10.940
on Wall Street, in our banking system and take it down. The American people, this is what Trump is.
00:20:17.040
Our house is being flooded with sewage. It's backed up. It's flooding from the basement,
00:20:21.600
fill the basement, flooding the kitchen. And Trump is the plumber that we called in three times now.
00:20:26.580
He won all three elections to fix it. We don't care about his plumber's crack. We don't care about
00:20:31.560
mean tweets. We just want him to fix it. He needs to fix it. The only way to fix it, the tools in his
00:20:37.040
hands, as the plumber, is the Insurrection Act and mass declassification and exposure to bring down
00:20:42.980
the corruption across the country at every level. If he does not do that, then we, the people, are going
00:20:48.680
to get pissed off. We're going to wind up having, if he leaves office without fixing it, we'll have to
00:20:53.040
grab pickaxes and shovels and sledgehammers and start knocking holes in the foundation to drain the
00:20:59.680
swamp. He has to do it himself first. That's why he's there. That's why he was saved by God and
00:21:04.140
Butler. It was to save the Republic, to be a Lincoln, to be a Teddy Roosevelt, to be a George
00:21:09.640
Washington, and save this constitutional Republic. If he does not do it, we'll be thrown back into the
00:21:14.800
territory the founders were in, where they had to exercise their rights to alter or abolish any
00:21:20.640
form of government that becomes destructive of the ends of liberty. That's where we're at.
00:21:26.600
Stuart Rose, social media, what are your coordinates? Where do people go? Also your website. Find out more
00:21:31.040
about you individually and more about your thinking on this topic, sir. Thank you, sir. Yes, we can go to,
00:21:37.500
I'm now back on X, finally, back at, at Real Oath Keepers. I also have a new website for Oath Keepers,
00:21:44.800
Oath Keepers.info. If you want to support our work, you can go to givesandgo.com forward slash oath. I'm here
00:21:52.020
with Ivan Raiklin. We are working on concrete advice for the president. We're going to be issuing white
00:21:56.960
papers for him publicly within the next few days that we will hope will get to him, that he can use
00:22:03.160
to actually do what he has to do to save the country.
00:22:07.860
Colonel Raiklin and Noel Frisch, that is, that is bad company. You watch yourself today.
00:22:12.880
Absolutely. Yeah. Mr. Stuart Rhodes, thank you so much for joining us. Appreciate you. Say hi to the
00:22:19.100
Colonel. God bless you, sir. Take care. Thank you. Okay, so there, and you've got the case laid out.
00:22:26.040
For Minneapolis and Minnesota, president started, it's commenced, the Justice Department has
00:22:32.260
commenced criminal investigations of Fry and Waltz, Governor Waltz, who I think is even worse
00:22:39.360
than Fry in this case, and Fry is terrible. So what about a governor that's doing it right?
00:22:44.180
What about a governor that's gone out of his way to say, hey, look, this ain't going to happen
00:22:47.720
in this state. It's going to happen. That's what happens in Minnesota, but it's not going to happen
00:22:51.500
in Florida. That would be Governor DeSantis. Now, the question is, does that, would Governor
00:22:56.120
DeSantis, these proclamations and his effort and his work to make sure you see how a state works
00:23:01.880
appropriately to clean out this mess of this illegal alien invasion? Does it get down to the
00:23:07.900
deck plates? Bridget Ziegler joins us about Sarasota Public Schools. What's going to happen
00:23:12.400
on Tuesday? I thought, I thought Governor DeSantis is on top of this. His administration is on top
00:23:17.500
of this. Don't tell me we have any questions or there's miscommunication down to the deck
00:23:23.520
plates of the school system about cooperating with ICE in these situations, ma'am. Well, I would
00:23:29.620
agree with you. I think Governor DeSantis has done an incredible job in the AG and as well as our
00:23:33.940
president, but it does matter what happens at the local level. We have a very liberal activist school
00:23:39.220
board member who just spearheaded or headlined an anti-ICE rally last week, and their goal of the
00:23:45.520
progressives is to utilize this issue of enforcing lawful immigration, which is what this country
00:23:51.660
voted overwhelmingly for, to use it to incite violence or also to incite the polarization. And
00:23:57.320
so what he did is headlined this rally to question whether or not the processes that we have in place
00:24:03.080
to oblige by the law and enforce the lawful orders of working with all law enforcement agencies to
00:24:08.780
fearmonger and create questions. As such, as a responsibility, I think it's important that we send a very
00:24:14.560
clear message to our community that we do follow the law, that we will work with all law enforcement
00:24:18.640
agencies to ensure the safety of our students, staff, and campuses. I think progressives look at
00:24:24.200
this as an opportunity to really polarize, and we have to stop them down in their tracks because
00:24:27.960
we don't need them, we don't need them using that kind of incitement to empower the activists
00:24:33.720
anywhere, whether it be any local government or inside schools.
00:24:36.780
So what's going to happen? You know, you've got a great MAGA base down there. I'm not so sure about
00:24:44.000
some of the leadership in the GOP, but what's going to happen? You're going to force a vote on Tuesday
00:24:49.140
to make sure that the school board is on board for this, that there's no ifs, ands, and buts,
00:24:56.540
Correct. So I have put forward a resolution that cites that we reaffirm our commitment to working
00:25:00.860
with all law enforcement agencies, and that we will hold accountable school board members and any
00:25:04.900
member of staff that seeks to impede or interfere with that action, which is the law. I think it's
00:25:11.360
a very easy common sense vote, should be a 5-0. It is, again, we have a split board, even though
00:25:16.580
we're overwhelmingly conservative county, Trump won overwhelmingly, but we have a 3-2 majority
00:25:22.420
conservative and a very activist, progressive group, but then a very weak leadership when it comes
00:25:27.900
to our Republican Party. I will say that I'm very disappointed in our local chairman. He has done
00:25:33.220
nothing. They've been absolutely silent on this issue, which is a national, state, and local issue,
00:25:38.060
as you noted. The Democrats immediately mobilized and already put protests in place, and again,
00:25:45.120
our local party chairman has been silent. But, and he's one of those, I think it's important to note,
00:25:48.940
Steve, our chairman is one of those that has, really hates MAGA. He feels very threatened by them,
00:25:54.260
and as we saw in some other areas of the country and state, he pushed out all of the America First
00:25:59.180
patriots and anyone who is for MAGA because he wanted to protect his position. He felt threatened,
00:26:03.740
and right now, this is where we need our local parties to step up, and that's why your precinct
00:26:09.480
program is so essential, where it really allows us to make sure every corner of our country,
00:26:14.380
of our communities are activated, because this is not a cycle, election cycle thing. This is
00:26:18.820
something we have to be focusing on every single day in perpetuity to save our country.
00:26:23.780
Big time. Bridget, what's the call to action right now? Because this is a vote. The local
00:26:28.240
papers is always picking up, and they're going to make this a national situation and try to
00:26:34.120
undercut Governor DeSantis and what he's trying to do to make sure that the state government and
00:26:39.640
the local government are working with ICE and not devolve into a situation like Minneapolis,
00:26:44.040
particularly in pockets of progressivism in Florida. Of course, you guys aren't, but that's
00:26:49.620
how these activists work. What's the call to action? Well, first and foremost, it is to make very
00:26:55.960
clear that we're not talking about people are raiding schools. We're making sure that we are
00:26:59.280
going to be working with law enforcement to ensure safe collaboration, to ensure safety, and the least
00:27:04.700
amount of disruption. They want to incite fear and say people are going to come in with guns and steal
00:27:08.220
your kids. Not going to happen. People need to go and you can go to my page at Bridget A. Ziegler
00:27:13.360
on Twitter, or you can watch the debate on Facebook. But we need people to, one, they should look at this
00:27:19.580
resolution and look at adopting it at their local community and reach out to their local school board
00:27:24.620
members to say that this is something we need to be focused on to ensure the safety and make sure
00:27:28.300
that we're abiding by those laws. We got 30 seconds. What's your Twitter again? Just give
00:27:33.620
it a little slower so people can get to it. Bridget A. Ziegler. And you can also find me on Facebook
00:27:39.040
at Bridget A. Ziegler. And again, that's where a lot of the very candid debate is. But we look forward
00:27:45.240
to seeing a successful resolution adopted on Tuesday. On Tuesday. Bridget Ziegler, thank you and keep
00:27:52.980
fighting. Short commercial break. Ryan Kennedy, Chris Tomlinson, next in the war room.

00:29:41.440
We'll talk about birch gold in a second. What we've been talking here about the end of the dollar
00:29:45.620
empire, we're going to have Carney on in a moment, a cut from the prime minister. Tomlinson's going to
00:29:51.360
join us and Brian Kennedy's going to be part of that. But Brian, before we get there, give me your
00:29:56.980
thoughts, Insurrection Act. Stuart Rhodes used a term I've been using on Getter recently, half
00:30:03.060
measures. I believe one of the reasons the president polling is not great in this is that
00:30:08.700
they have tried to do half measures so far. And if he doesn't like the optics, it shows you the half
00:30:15.020
measures may not be working. Your thoughts, sir? Great to be with you, Steve, on a Saturday here.
00:30:22.520
Sure. It's a great question. It seems to me that if we start with the president's main premise,
00:30:30.440
which is that 25 million people came over the border during the Biden administration. Now,
00:30:36.560
it's a big number, 25 million illegal aliens in what we've called here on the war room and invasion.
00:30:42.220
Right now, it looks like maybe 2 million have deported. And it looks like maybe in 2025,
00:30:52.400
about 200,000 to 300,000 were arrested by ICE and maybe deported. That leaves, let's round it up to
00:31:02.280
3 million. There's still 22 million people left in the country. Now, we have 22,000 ICE agents.
00:31:10.540
And so people look at all this and they think, are 22,000 ICE agents going to deport 22 million people
00:31:17.820
over the next three years? Are we throwing enough resources at this problem? Are we fundamentally
00:31:26.340
going to get rid of 22 million people? You've been saying for the last few weeks, they all have to go.
00:31:33.200
And I agree a thousand percent. And as I go around the country, everyone thinks that. They all have
00:31:40.760
to go. Are we therefore deporting them at a pace that will get that done? And if we're not, you might
00:31:48.320
look at Governor Walz and the mayor of Minneapolis and think, they don't think he's serious,
00:31:56.860
President Trump. He's probably not going to get it done. And so we're going to do everything in our
00:32:02.720
power to stall. And the left in America is looking at this and they're thinking, we just have to buy
00:32:08.860
time here. And if they deport a few million more people in the next three years, we're still going
00:32:16.060
to have 20 million people that when the Democrats take power and they will take power again someday,
00:32:22.340
they're going to turn those people into citizens. The political will to get this done is right now.
00:32:30.100
It was 2025. It's 2026. People will want to see this done. It's not like the president doesn't believe
00:32:38.060
this. It's not like Stephen Miller doesn't believe this. Tom Homan is a national hero. They don't have the
00:32:45.580
resources to get it done. They need to find those resources right now. They need to come up with
00:32:51.760
a scheme and show to the American people how in an orderly way they're going to get rid of, deport 22
00:33:00.840
million people in the next three years. It's a matter of management and logistics. We can do this,
00:33:08.160
but we have to get it on track. It is management and logistics, but we have to address a very
00:33:14.940
unpleasant topic. If you're going to do it at scale, if you're actually going to go and the Axios piece
00:33:22.280
that kind of got this all rolling with Mark Caputo and a couple of guys at Axios, which looked like it was
00:33:28.060
pretty well sourced because I didn't see a lot of pushback from the White House. They kind of put you
00:33:32.300
in the Oval Office and President Trump would repeat, I want mass deportations. He doesn't like the optics
00:33:39.560
he's seeing in Minneapolis, but he wants mass deportations. To get to mass deportations,
00:33:45.620
we have to scale. If you scale, you have to go to where the central beating part of the problem is.
00:33:53.520
The beating heart of the problem is the employment. The bad hombres are terrible. Don't get me wrong.
00:34:00.040
The Latin Kings, Trendy, Araga, everybody that's coming, all the cartels, all of it, that's got to
00:34:07.260
go, obviously. But the heart of the $25 million is because they found opportunities here because
00:34:14.320
corporate America and the Chamber of Commerce wanted to drive down wages. If you don't do e-verify,
00:34:20.820
which the Congress will never pass, don't you have to start going to these distribution centers,
00:34:26.840
these companies, and start arresting CEOs? You've got to perp walk a couple of CEOs to get the joke.
00:34:32.420
Then the $2 million, the $2 or $2.2 million that self-deported, once you do that, kind of a
00:34:42.160
Sarbanes-Oxley on which now CFOs and CEOs have to sign the financial statements under criminal penalty,
00:34:51.220
you start doing that, Brian Kennedy, aren't you going to get some people's attention?
00:34:55.180
And they're going to start getting rid of the illegal aliens that they have illegally on their
00:35:01.840
Yes, absolutely, Steve. You have to do what you just said. E-verify, going after the CEOs,
00:35:08.180
that's a commonsensical thing to do. But let me also say there's a gray economy in this country,
00:35:15.660
or shadow economy, however you want to phrase it. And a lot of these $22 million that are left,
00:35:20.960
they're part of that gray economy. I think they operate outside the bounds of much of what we
00:35:27.780
think of as corporate America. I don't think many of them are working for Amazon or Walmart,
00:35:34.860
for instance. Some may be. And we should certainly stop that with E-verify or some other system.
00:35:40.700
But they find ways and very creative people, when need be, to find employment, to create their own
00:35:51.400
economies here in this country. So it seems to me you have to look, first and foremost,
00:35:56.640
Biden sent these people all over the country. Most of them are on record somewhere, somehow.
00:36:03.300
We need the records of the last four years of Biden. We know for a fact that they put them in
00:36:10.460
some form of record. They moved them to some state. And most of them received some form of public
00:36:17.320
assistance. Almost all of them received some form of public assistance. That's one of the reasons
00:36:22.100
they were here. Well, we have records in those Biden years of who were the new people that received
00:36:27.800
public assistance. This is a knowable thing. You said your concern was, if we don't take care of
00:36:35.820
it now, then once the Democrats get in power, they're going to do amnesty. My point's a little
00:36:41.200
more primal. If we don't do it now, they're the key sources you've seen to putting the Democrats back
00:36:46.560
in power. You've seen this. This is the mandami in New York City. This is the business model of the
00:36:52.900
Democratic Party is to have all these asylum seekers, refugees, whatever you want to call them,
00:36:58.580
illegal aliens that came through on the Biden watch, the 25 million. And not only are they on
00:37:03.340
public assistance, they're also voting. They're also, this is the muscle they've got to steal these
00:37:09.160
elections and to basically return to power. If you got this, you look at the census and all the census
00:37:14.760
data, we're going to pick up seats in the House. I think we'd pick up, if we'd done the census right
00:37:19.000
the first time, I think it's 12 to 15 seats in the House we would have right now. So we've got to do
00:37:23.980
it now. If we wait, they're guaranteed to get back in power one day. Is that not correct?
00:37:30.400
Absolutely. Yeah. My point is do it now. Absolutely. But also we're going to have to have a new system
00:37:37.980
of how we vote in 2026. This is the other shoe to drop, Steve, that we'll be talking about, I think,
00:37:43.380
in the next few months. How can we have a system of voting, both with electronic voting machines,
00:37:50.660
which we know are not secure, and also in the blue states that are in, many of them, open rebellion
00:37:59.480
against the union? How can we trust that in 2026, they're going to have fair elections?
00:38:05.500
Can you count on today, Minnesota or Illinois or New York or California having fair elections?
00:38:15.180
Given their disposition toward illegal aliens and their ideas that these people deserve representation.
00:38:24.800
Yeah. They haven't convinced me. We can have one in Georgia. I mean, even Arizona. I'm not sure.
00:38:31.240
Hang over a second. Dave Bratt. Dave Bratt, before we pivot to Canada, because we've got a lot to say
00:38:35.880
about that in the National Security of the United States, your thoughts on the Insurrection Act and
00:38:39.820
everything Brian Kennedy and I have talked about, sir.
00:38:43.800
Yeah, well, I'll do a blend of you, too. I used to do ethics bowl with, you know, 20 colleges,
00:38:49.640
and we studied the ethics of the CEOs, and they all have ethical statements. Every firm has an ethical
00:38:55.800
statement. We strive for the highest good. And some of these guys were my friends. I said,
00:39:01.000
what is the highest good? I said, I'm not familiar with that. Is it the Sermon on the Mount? You give
00:39:05.020
coats out on the street? And they're like, no. And I said, what is it? And so they do have,
00:39:10.200
like you're saying, they have stuff in print that says we follow the highest ethical standards. One
00:39:16.080
of those would be following the law of the land. And so I think they may be on the hook,
00:39:22.060
as you're saying. And Homan came out, I think, yesterday and said, we're going to make these
00:39:27.540
illegals famous, right? For all of us, if anyone gets in the hot spot, TSA has no fly lists. The
00:39:35.100
government has the lists, right? There's no doubt about that. They got lists on all the legal folks
00:39:39.840
that work hard for a living every day. And if they don't like what you're doing, you're in the hot
00:39:43.920
seat. But why are the illegals not on these lists, you know, Brian was talking about? And we need to get
00:39:51.920
enough resources, like Brian is saying, into their hands. Because it's obvious when they're backing
00:39:57.160
up, when the thugs throwing Coke bottles and rocks and denting cars and all that, when they're backing
00:40:03.260
up our best ICE agents, lawful federal agents, that's a bad look. We need to be backing them up,
00:40:11.960
throwing them in the black Patty cars in bulk. Anyone crosses a line, you know, and the gun part,
00:40:20.680
just shoot out the tires of all these radicals, right? Just shoot out the tires. Then they can't
00:40:25.220
move their car. I don't know why we just don't do some of these common sense things. When the
00:40:29.780
radicals see their car is going to get shot up and impounded for a month, that'll end a lot of cars.
00:40:34.540
There's just simple things we can do to put us on the offensive. And, you know, the churches and all
00:40:42.680
these, you know, the love crowd on the left, you know, is this love, the radicalism you're seeing in
00:40:48.420
the streets beating on officers? Is that love mourning Joe? Is that turn the other cheek? I don't
00:40:55.680
think so. I think you got to put this to the American people. Jesus, when he went into the
00:41:00.740
temple, overturned the tables. And the tables these days, I think, would be the NGOs, right? The left
00:41:07.280
always wants a separation of church and state. Let's see if they want a separation of NGOs in the
00:41:12.480
churches and the state and the money coffers. They'll be singing another tune. And in closing,
00:41:18.020
I'll just say most people have no idea now. All the big seven, the trillionaire class, all the Fortune
00:41:24.020
500, they're all 80 percent Democrat. We're used to thinking of Paul Ryan and the country club
00:41:29.900
Republicans and all this kind of thing. And the wealth is on the Republican side. That is not true.
00:41:34.740
The big hospital systems, the big insurance, the big everybody, right? Big banking, big government.
00:41:39.940
It's all on the left. What we got left are the true blue, small American business people. And
00:41:45.580
there's still a majority. Thank God. What about when you talk about when you talk about the church,
00:41:49.840
when when these investigations drilled down, you're going to find that, you know, the same
00:41:55.080
collect the same crowd that was at the border gaming the system and working with the Biden
00:42:00.340
administration to get the 25, the 25 million got in here because of a highly organized machine.
00:42:06.200
Key components of that machine are that, you know, that Lutheran group, the Catholic group,
00:42:12.720
Catholic charities. There's a couple of Jewish groups. There's, you know, a bunch of these
00:42:17.080
old line Protestants that have been taken over by progressives. When you look at when you add up the
00:42:21.940
church, at least publicly and who's on the line there at night, et cetera, it looks like the church,
00:42:27.820
a lot of the churches have lined up against this day, Brett.
00:42:33.340
Yeah, no. And they're doing it under the pretext of love, right? We're going to get into this young
00:42:41.700
lawmaker, James Tallarico in Texas. Love, love, love. But that God, he doesn't name,
00:42:49.660
give the name of God, which is Jesus and God, the Father Almighty. And God, the Father Almighty still
00:42:55.240
has something to do about the rule of law. And so these churches are no longer churches of Jesus.
00:43:00.220
They won't even name God in public as Tallarico won't. And so they're not churches and they ought
00:43:05.900
to be examined also for their tax exemption, all that kind of thing. And we need to make them famous
00:43:11.720
and put their faces up on the poster boards as well.
00:43:14.700

Thank you Chairman Zhao Lechi for receiving me, my ministers and our delegation.
00:45:21.140
This is indeed a very important meeting and the most auspicious start to the new year and to a new era
00:45:31.720
of relations between Canada and China. We're heartened by the leadership of President Xi Jinping
00:45:42.540
and the speed with which our relationship has progressed in recent months. This sets the stage
00:45:53.200
the stage for these important discussions on a wide range of issues where we can be strategic partners
00:46:00.840
from energy to agriculture to people to people ties to multilateralism to issues on security.
00:46:11.880
We believe that the spirit and the substance of these discussions and these agreements will provide great benefit
00:46:25.160
to each of our peoples but also provide an example to the world of cooperation amidst a time globally of division and disorder.
00:46:41.880
Right there you heard it a complete kowtow and if you talk about these you know why he's over there a huge effort
00:46:54.000
to work to make the Chinese currency the CCP's currency a world currency. This is why under Biden the currency
00:47:04.900
was destroyed 28 percent has dropped 28 percent since that phony inauguration of Biden. This is one of the reasons
00:47:11.220
that the people are flogging central banks particularly are flocking to gold. Now you got Carney an active member of it.
00:47:18.300
Chris Tomlinson joins us. Chris was at Breitbart for about six seven years.
00:47:23.300
Now over with Raheem Ghassam. Also Raheem was one of our senior editors ran Breitbart London
00:47:28.300
and took the radio show over. Next man up Raheem took the radio show over which Chris became a big part of
00:47:35.480
when I went and took over the campaign at 16. Chris Tomlinson. First off the headline of yours
00:47:42.280
article Canada's Carney sells out to CCP after Trump trade clash. I'm pushing out this National Pulse
00:47:51.120
article because of anything the FT the Wall Street Journal. I think this gets to the heart of it.
00:47:55.760
What is going on? Canada is supposed to be one of our best allies. What is going on with this
00:48:01.480
kowtow of Carney to the CCP? Well thanks for having me on Steve.
00:48:06.680
Yeah this is a massive development really for Canada.
00:48:09.780
The Canadian relations with China which have been rocky for quite a few years
00:48:13.680
under Justin Trudeau and now with who I call China Carney, Mark Carney.
00:48:21.560
a message to the Trump administration. It's being sold
00:48:25.880
basically as an agricultural deal, a green deal
00:49:01.560
that also means that China is extending its sphere of influence
00:49:20.840
so you have all these EVs that are going to be sold
00:49:25.180
because a lot of Canada really doesn't have the infrastructure
00:49:32.880
and so that infrastructure is going to need to be built
