Bannon's War Room - Episode 5165： Georgia Is Still The Railhead Of 2026; What Is JP Morgan Planning Against Trump

00:00:00.000 Is the pre-Trump Republican Party gone, never to be revived, Governor?

00:00:06.060 No, I think we've had these streaks of populism, never to this example, over a personality.

00:00:12.460 But this is a populist movement.

00:00:14.520 And maybe there's a reason for the populist movement, because the left went too far left in some of its rhetoric, and there was pushback against it.

00:00:22.000 But when I was on the campaign trail as governor with President-elect Trump or the candidate Trump, I never wore a MAGA hat, because I never know what it meant.

00:00:33.820 Listen, when I was governor and mayor, I never let anybody use slogans around me, because I think slogans don't say anything.

00:00:40.000 And we still use the term MAGA without understanding what it is, just like I was subtly called a rhino.

00:00:45.440 And I still don't know what a rhino is, but it's the terms flung out there so easily.

00:00:51.940 And this name-calling and immaturity on both sides of the aisle has just got to end.

00:00:57.680 We've got to get back to statesman-like behavior.

00:01:00.700 And I'm scared to death at the tomorrow night, Tuesday night, on both what's going to be said at the podium and what the reaction's going to be,

00:01:08.700 because it's everything that goes against my instincts of why I got into public service.

00:01:13.200 First, as a city council member, who had to deal with snowstorms as a mayor.

00:01:18.800 And we need to get people who can work together during crisis, whether it be a riot or a snowstorm or a foreign policy issue, which we're having right now.

00:01:28.520 On the Middle East, according to the Wall Street Journal, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Dan Cain, and other Pentagon officials have been warning of the consequences.

00:01:37.880 Should the United States decide to carry out either strikes or an extended military campaign in Iran, officials told the journal, all options carry risks.

00:01:50.060 But a prolonged campaign in particular could incur significant costs to U.S. forces and munitions stockpiles,

00:01:58.960 complicating the protection of regional partners if Iran is able to retaliate.

00:02:04.500 President Trump posted a lengthy message to social media denying that General Cain had raised any concern,

00:02:11.580 saying everything that has been written about a potential war with Iran has been written incorrectly.

00:02:17.920 He goes on to say he would, quote, rather have a deal than not with Iran.

00:02:22.820 So you can't Storm Extreme, crack citizen 566 million, crack citizen 566 million, crack citizen 666 million, crack citizen 666 million, crack citizen 666 million.

00:02:38.660 hey

00:03:01.780 what

00:03:08.660 This is now reporting that the office of Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. attorney for the District of

00:03:30.720 Columbia, has decided to stop pursuing the case against those six Democratic lawmakers who urged

00:03:36.860 members of the military to not comply with unlawful orders. That's according to three

00:03:42.060 people familiar with the matter. The news comes roughly two weeks after a federal grand jury in

00:03:47.120 Washington, D.C. unanimously rejected an attempt by Pirro to indict the lawmakers over that video.

00:03:53.700 This is not a moment for Democrats to be good little boys and good little girls and sit there

00:03:57.620 on the House floor and fold their hands over and be nice and quiet and listen to the president.

00:04:01.100 We keep hearing, you know, let the president have his opportunity to speak freely. The man who is

00:04:06.140 torching the first 10 amendments to the United States Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the man 0.99

00:04:10.180 who is trying to suppress our freedom of speech, we're supposed to sit there and respect his

00:04:14.240 opportunity to speak to us? No. So we decided to host this event to speak before Donald Trump,

00:04:19.460 to speak during Donald Trump, to speak after Donald Trump. We will pre-butt, re-butt and re-butt again

00:04:24.460 his State of the Union of Marx. And guess what? I've got news for Donald Trump. With how many

00:04:28.340 Democrats I am seeing on these phone messages are defecting from the chamber, I am now confident

00:04:33.820 at the National Press Club, at the Defiance.org event, we will have more people at that rebuttal

00:04:38.960 than Donald Trump will have in front of him on the House floor. Guess what, Donald Trump?

00:04:42.480 My crowd size is bigger than your crowd size.

00:04:44.600 My pastチャンネル is a very, very positive 여서. I use optional keer but political

00:04:50.600 다리 quay verse 1. vem.

00:04:52.480 I

00:04:56.480 I

00:04:58.480 I

00:05:00.480 I

00:05:02.480 I

00:05:04.480 I

00:05:06.480 I

00:05:08.480 I

00:05:10.480 I

00:05:12.480 I

00:05:14.480 I

00:05:16.480 I

00:05:18.480 I

00:05:20.480 I

00:05:22.480 I

00:05:28.480 I

00:05:30.480 I

00:05:32.480 I

00:05:34.480 I

00:05:36.480 I

00:05:38.480 I

00:05:40.480 I

00:05:42.480 At that time, you warned that President Trump was a unique threat to constitutional government.

00:05:48.480 Mm-hmm.

00:05:49.480 You also said that you hoped you would be proven wrong.

00:05:53.480 Absolutely.

00:05:54.480 Thirteen months into Donald Trump's second term as president.

00:05:58.480 How you reflect on that sentiment?

00:06:00.480 I haven't been proven completely wrong, but we're still here, and so I'm delighted.

00:06:05.480 Is he still a unique threat to constitutional government?

00:06:07.480 Absolutely he is, because what you saw, I thought in 2016 to 2020 that he was a difference of degree, but not kind.

00:06:16.480 He was, you know, you could recognize what he was doing, not the tone and the behavior that's totally unique in what was then.

00:06:24.480 But basically, you could sort of put it on an American spectrum, what he was doing.

00:06:29.480 Then comes the unfolding January 6th, the attempt to undermine the election, and that's a unique virus in the American body politic.

00:06:38.480 And if you create the capacity, the tendency to denounce elections simply because you don't like the result, no American president's done that.

00:06:49.480 Andrew Jackson didn't do it in 1824.

00:06:51.480 Richard Nixon didn't do it in 1960.

00:06:53.480 Hubert Humphrey didn't do it in 1968.

00:06:55.480 Al Gore didn't do it in 2000.

00:06:57.480 Secretary Clinton didn't do it in 2016.

00:07:00.480 But in 2020, we had an American president who, because he didn't like what the system produced, decided to sow distrust in the system.

00:07:11.480 And that continues to be something that I think we're going to be dealing with.

00:07:17.480 I hope we don't in the midterm, but I think it's something to watch carefully.

00:07:21.480 State of lunacy.

00:07:23.480 This should never be happening in this country.

00:07:26.480 This guy should never even have been allowed to run for president.

00:07:34.480 He's unqualified, period.

00:07:37.480 We all know that. 1.00

00:07:38.480 So we're dealing with a fool, a clown, who's brought the rest of the circus into the White House. 1.00

00:07:46.480 So we're dealing with it. 1.00

00:07:49.480 We've got a big problem here.

00:08:13.480 We've amassed an enormous armada in the region, except we've got an armada in search of a strategy.

00:08:19.480 What is this about?

00:08:20.480 Are we trying to bring about regime change?

00:08:22.480 Really demanding, as General Cain essentially has pointed out.

00:08:26.480 Is it to go after their ballistic missile inventory, which the Israelis want, to go after the nuclear capabilities?

00:08:32.480 Well, I thought those were obliterated, and those seem to be getting negotiated.

00:08:36.480 To go after the proxies, they don't offer a good target.

00:08:39.480 So we've got a real disconnect between our means and our ends.

00:08:43.480 Congress isn't holding hearings about it.

00:08:45.480 The president's not explaining it.

00:08:47.480 And here we are.

00:08:48.480 This is a crisis of choice.

00:08:50.480 We're on the cusp of a war of choice.

00:08:52.480 History suggests to be really, really careful.

00:08:55.480 That's what people ought to be thinking here.

00:08:57.480 What gives you hope when you see a moment like tomorrow night and what comes after that as we begin the election cycle for the control of our House and our Senate, the Congress, starting next Tuesday night when primaries begin?

00:09:12.480 Yeah.

00:09:13.480 I don't use the word hope anymore.

00:09:15.480 There is no hope.

00:09:16.480 I hope with Mullen.

00:09:17.480 I hope with this.

00:09:18.480 I hope with bloating.

00:09:19.480 I hope with that.

00:09:20.480 We're done with hope. 1.00

00:09:22.480 It's about getting rid of this idiot, period. 1.00

00:09:25.480 And we all know what it is. 1.00

00:09:27.480 Getting rid of him.

00:09:28.480 And the independents or whoever, whatever voters realize that this is not their guy.

00:09:35.480 Hello. 0.96

00:09:36.480 Finally, you realize that because the guy's the biggest con artist ever that there's ever.

00:09:41.480 I mean, this is a joke that we're even talking about him.

00:09:46.480 He's been out of the running one, you know, years ago.

00:09:53.480 And thanks to Mitch McConnell, who saved him in the second impeachment.

00:09:58.480 You know, it's a joke. 0.97

00:10:01.480 And Mitch McConnell will have to live with that for the rest of his life, knowing how he allowed this fool to actually try to maybe topple our government. 0.90

00:10:13.480 And we I don't I don't want to use the word hope because it can't be hope. 0.96

00:10:17.480 We will vanquish.

00:10:18.480 We will get rid of this guy. 0.87

00:10:20.480 But it's it's it's it's mind boggling.

00:10:24.480 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.

00:10:31.480 Pray for our enemies.

00:10:33.480 Because we're going to medieval on this people.

00:10:36.480 I got a free shot.

00:10:38.480 All these networks lying about the people.

00:10:41.480 The people have had a belly full of it.

00:10:43.480 I know you don't like hearing that.

00:10:44.480 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.

00:10:47.480 It's going to happen.

00:10:48.480 And where do people like that go to share the big line?

00:10:51.480 Mega media.

00:10:53.480 I wish in my soul.

00:10:55.480 I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

00:10:58.480 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

00:11:02.480 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

00:11:09.480 War Room.

00:11:10.480 Here's your host, Stephen K.

00:11:12.480 Band.

00:11:17.480 It's Tuesday, 24 February, the year of our Lord, 2026.

00:11:21.480 It is the State of the Union, President Trump's first State of the Union in his second term.

00:11:28.480 All day coverage here in Real America's Voice.

00:11:30.480 So when I say all day coverage through and run up to it, then the coverage during the actual State of the Union itself and then analysis afterwards and tomorrow, because this is President Trump's one shot to actually address the nation, right?

00:11:48.480 He may do specials from the, as occasion arises on topics of interest from the Oval or other places, but this is where the whole nation, and there should be a pretty big audience of this.

00:11:59.480 The Democrats are already losing their minds.

00:12:01.480 They're having counter, and we're going to be covering some of that.

00:12:04.480 Seven o'clock, I think they're at the National Press Club.

00:12:06.480 They're also going to be in the mall.

00:12:08.480 They've completely lost it, totally unhinged.

00:12:11.480 You saw Robert De Niro, though.

00:12:13.480 This is the reason there's been three assassination attempts, three assassination attempts we actually know of.

00:12:19.480 There's others that have been thwarted earlier, but three that have actually got to the place of actually taking action.

00:12:28.480 And all three of those, President Trump shot in one of them, only by the grace of divine providence.

00:12:34.480 Is he still alive and with us?

00:12:36.480 Almost shot at the golf club, and then very confusing.

00:12:40.480 I don't know how this whole excuse that the gate, employee gate, was open.

00:12:44.480 They slipped in.

00:12:45.480 It's not the north entrance, because I didn't even know there was a north entrance.

00:12:49.480 And because of this hate put on by not just the media but the entertainment industry, the cultural, sports, all of it, just completely unloading on President Trump every day.

00:12:59.480 Not a political discussion, but that he's a danger to the nation and must be taken out.

00:13:04.480 Cleta Mitchell is going to join me.

00:13:06.480 We're going to take a short commercial break here.

00:13:08.480 I want to thank my excellent team here at the War Room and, of course, the RAV team in Denver for putting that together, these cold opens, because I get it from the engine room.

00:13:17.480 And others, I know, during the cold opens, your heads are blowing up, as they're supposed to.

00:13:22.480 Because in the information war, you see what we're up against every day, daily.

00:13:26.480 When we come back, Cleta is from the great state of North Carolina.

00:13:31.480 And we're going to talk, she's here to talk about a letter they sent to John Thune on the Save America Act.

00:13:38.480 Also, her work in Georgia, as we have this huge hearing on Friday.

00:13:44.480 And we must, must, must get to the bottom of the 2020 steal, and we're going to do it in Georgia.

00:13:51.480 But also, I'm going to talk about the opening clip you saw there from Pat McCrory, the former governor of the Tar Heel State.

00:14:00.480 Let me be blunt. 1.00

00:14:01.480 Brother, you're a bald-faced liar. 1.00

00:14:05.480 A bald-faced liar. 1.00

00:14:07.480 President Trump, with the help of Mark Meadows and other great folks down there in 2016, we pulled North Carolina out, I think by a point, point and a half. 0.92

00:14:16.480 That was a state I was most concerned about as running the campaign.

00:14:21.480 The Carolinians stood up, North Carolinians stood up, and we won.

00:14:24.480 And Pat McCrory lost the governorship because he's so feckless and hapless and did not embrace President Trump.

00:14:30.480 And then he came around and begged on his knees, begged for a job.

00:14:35.480 He's got the gall to sit there and talk about populism and President Trump.

00:14:40.480 And this is on MSNBC.

00:14:43.480 Bruce Springsteen, just to top it off in the A Block, Bruce Spring is going to take you out.

00:14:49.480 Cleta Mitchell will bring you back in, in the war room.

00:14:59.480 Do doctors have Black Friday sales? 0.88

00:15:02.480 The doctors at Brickhouse Nutrition do.

00:15:04.480 They just announced the Black Friday 30% off sale, the biggest sale of the year.

00:16:17.480 War Room.

00:16:18.480 Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann.

00:16:21.480 Okay.

00:16:22.480 I want to take our time with this North Carolina and the Cleta situation.

00:16:28.480 And so Cleta is going to join us in a second. 1.00

00:16:31.480 Just hang on.

00:16:32.480 And the reason is I want to slip Mike Davis in here because I want to lay the predicate.

00:16:35.480 When you hear the State of the Union tonight, we're going to show you the hyena Democrats. 1.00

00:16:39.480 We're going to show you there.

00:16:40.480 They're going to be the National Press Club.

00:16:42.480 I think 25 senators or something.

00:16:44.480 They're not showing up.

00:16:45.480 And in the room itself, they're going to be hooting and hollering, trying to shout him down.

00:16:50.480 But the biggest problem is like Caesar and Rome.

00:16:56.480 It's the people around him and these rhino Republicans, like the McCrory's. 1.00

00:17:01.480 Mike Davis is here.

00:17:03.480 Mike, you've got to help me out here.

00:17:04.480 I don't understand this.

00:17:05.480 And this is a huge deal because it happened to me, but that's not why it's a huge deal.

00:17:09.480 It happened to so many, but particularly the President of the United States.

00:17:12.480 So the President of the United States, people have to understand.

00:17:15.480 Go back to what Meacham said, what Meacham said in the cold open.

00:17:19.480 And maybe I play that again with Hoover.

00:17:21.480 Their term of art now is the unfolding J6. 0.97

00:17:27.480 The unfolding J6.

00:17:29.480 And what they mean by that is everything Cleta Mitchell and the team are doing in Georgia, what the team in Maricopa County is doing, what the team in Pennsylvania is doing to show that the 2020 election could not be certified, impossible to be certified.

00:17:46.480 And therefore, we've gotten kicked to the House of Representatives and Donald Trump would have been reelected president.

00:17:51.480 Now, through divine providence, we all know that it was better that we had those years in the wilderness to kind of build up the forces, both the precinct strategy on one hand and all the think tanks and CRA and all that on the other.

00:18:03.480 And that the Mike Davis is the world and all these people who were kind of unknown in the first term could kind of rise to become major elite, huge leaders of this party.

00:18:12.480 Now, what is happening is they're already having a fight to try to divide up the carcass post Trump.

00:18:18.480 There ain't going to be any post Trump.

00:18:20.480 They're not going to be any post Trump.

00:18:21.480 And so they're doing this nonstop.

00:18:23.480 One of the things they're doing is that Mike Davis, you got to help me out here.

00:18:27.480 President Trump was debanked.

00:18:30.480 Now, you're talking a guy, a billionaire with financial obligations on his private business that he hadn't touched in four years as president.

00:18:38.480 OK, he's got loans everywhere.

00:18:40.480 He's he's highly leveraged.

00:18:42.480 Why?

00:18:43.480 Because he's a real estate guy.

00:18:44.480 The real estate business is based is predicated upon leverage.

00:18:47.480 That's why President Trump feels pretty comfortable with the leverage we have now and negotiating tariff deals, et cetera, because he understands how to use leverage.

00:18:56.480 J.P. Morgan debanked him immediately.

00:19:00.480 And and so he sued him for five billion dollars of of of harm and charges.

00:19:07.480 And I should also note J.P. Morgan has lied about this consistently for years and years and years.

00:19:13.480 Jamie Dimon and that lovely crowd over there at J.P. Morgan.

00:19:16.480 So President Trump sued him.

00:19:17.480 But and so it's shocking enough that a major financial institution would debank a president, Mike Davis, a week after he left the White House.

00:19:28.480 This is how they try to kill Trump.

00:19:29.480 This is how they try to smother Trump in January 2021.

00:19:32.480 And the folks in this audience that were there understood how we had to have his back to return because they tried to bankrupt him before they tried to imprison him before they tried to assassinate him.

00:19:43.480 If you notice the scale that goes up.

00:19:46.480 But Mike Davis in this entire thing, the central law firm and Davis knows better than anybody because Davis was working on the confirmations, the confirmations at the Supreme Court.

00:19:56.480 Mike Davis was behind the scenes working for Grassley.

00:19:59.480 Mike Davis was the number one guy for these confirmations and particularly then went to work for Gorsuch, but particularly for Kavanaugh, which hung by a thread.

00:20:09.480 There was a meeting that hung by a thread and Mike Davis and these Bill Burton, these guys dug in hard.

00:20:15.480 And ladies and gentlemen, that's how you got the opinion, the minority opinion that laid out the roadmap for terrorists that you will hear tonight in the State of the Union.

00:20:26.480 Kevin, if Kevin had gotten approved, you were not going to get that.

00:20:29.480 So Mike Davis, the law firm of Jones Day, which Don McGahn was the White House counsel.

00:20:35.480 Jones Day was essentially the law firm for the first Trump term.

00:20:41.480 Noel Francisco, correct me if I'm wrong, he's Solicitor General.

00:20:45.480 You've got Don McGahn is the White House counsel, which outside the Attorney General is the most powerful thing.

00:20:51.480 I think he got, I don't know, 20 Jones Day partners in the administration.

00:20:56.480 They're representing J.P. Morgan.

00:20:58.480 Please tell me in modern America how this works, how a law firm that was your law firm and had all these government,

00:21:06.480 from Solicitor General to the White House counsel, is taking the side of J.P. Morgan to oppose President Trump's suit?

00:21:15.480 Like, in what world does that work, sir?

00:21:18.480 You know, I've been around Washington for a long time, Steve, and I don't get shocked by anything.

00:21:26.480 This one shocked me.

00:21:28.480 My jaw dropped.

00:21:29.480 I couldn't believe that Jones Day was going to be adverse to Donald Trump in any litigation matter, particularly on a litigation matter involving lawfare against President Trump,

00:21:45.480 where J.P. Morgan tried to debank him.

00:21:49.480 Now, if you go look at the ABA model rules, model rule 1.9a, it says,

00:21:57.480 A lawyer who has formally represented a client in a matter shall not thereafter represent another client in the same or substantially related matter in which that person's interests are materially adverse to the interests of the former client,

00:22:15.480 unless the former client gives informed consent confirmed in writing.

00:22:22.480 I doubt President Trump would give informed consent to have Jones Day be adverse to him in the J.P. Morgan case.

00:22:30.480 Maybe there was some sort of waiver in a prior legal representation.

00:22:38.480 I just doubt it.

00:22:39.480 And I guess the issue is when you're using, if you're representing President Trump as a law firm and you know his mindset, you know where his strengths and weaknesses are, you know how far he'll push or get pushed on negotiations,

00:22:58.480 and you have his confidential information, you're on a very dangerous, treacherous path as a law firm if you are taking clients adverse to that client.

00:23:14.600 And so I would say to Jones Day, you have plenty of clients, you have plenty of business.

00:23:20.480 You may want to step back and think about this one to make sure that you're not even close to crossing that ethical line.

00:23:30.360 I like Don McGahn a lot.

00:23:32.100 I don't think Don's involved on this particular matter.

00:23:35.960 I've heard that Noel Francisco may be on this matter.

00:23:39.700 Remember, Noel Francisco was President Trump's Solicitor General of the United States.

00:23:46.180 It's unbelievable. 0.98

00:23:46.780 I mean, it's – even if there's not a technical violation of Rule 1.9, this is idiotic on Jones Day's part to do that. 0.99

00:23:59.520 Hang on. 0.91

00:24:00.740 Noel Francisco, who I think did an incredible – and I'm not a lawyer, but I thought he did an incredible job as Solicitor General.

00:24:07.140 If you look at Conway, Kellyanne Conway's husband, the guy that's so nuts and such a Trump hater that says I was a Trump supporter, he's now running for Congress.

00:24:14.500 I think for Jerry Nettlers thing, one of the true haters, he wanted to be Solicitor General.

00:24:19.260 And somebody made the case, hey, look, dude, I don't think you've ever – you're an M&A lawyer.

00:24:22.700 You've never argued in court.

00:24:24.180 We need somebody.

00:24:25.140 And then he picked Francisco because he was so good.

00:24:27.900 In what universe can Noel Francisco actually be listed on the team, be listed on the J.P. Morgan team?

00:24:33.060 He was his Solicitor General.

00:24:34.260 Nobody knows more of the thinking of President Trump and kind of the negotiating style of President Trump and his mindset than his Solicitor General, does it?

00:24:45.520 Yeah, I mean, this just looked really bad for Jones Day.

00:24:49.760 Again, even if there's not a technical violation, and that is very, very, very fact-specific, it just looks bad.

00:24:56.380 And the other problem is you have confidential information.

00:25:00.120 So if they're using President Trump's confidential information that Jones Day obtains when President Trump was a client, you have problems.

00:25:10.480 Not only under Rule 1.9, you have a problem under Rule 1.6.

00:25:15.140 And under Rule 1.10, that conflict, if Jones Day has a conflict, it's imputed to every lawyer in the law firm.

00:25:24.900 And so I don't think you're going to be able to put up a Chinese wall in the law firm without President Trump's consent.

00:25:34.300 His White House counsel, which folks should understand, the White House counsel is involved in everything.

00:25:40.240 It's one of the most – like OMB directors.

00:25:42.200 It's one of those jobs a lot of people don't know about.

00:25:44.340 It represents the office of the presidency, not an individual office of the presidency.

00:25:49.460 McGahn knows everything.

00:25:50.740 And look, I like Don McGahn a lot.

00:25:53.040 He gets crushed with a lot of things, but he did so much good work in the campaign and then in the early years.

00:25:58.500 But, Mike, I want to – let's talk about – and I'd like to hold you through if we have to just a second of the break.

00:26:02.760 We have to talk about a very dark secret that's the reality in this town.

00:26:07.960 You've seen it – and Cleet is going to be on here in a second.

00:26:10.080 We were very concerned about this hearing or this trial in Georgia on Friday.

00:26:14.620 It was not staffed properly.

00:26:15.760 And it turns out they put some heavy guns over DOJ.

00:26:18.160 But Judge Deneen – there's all these things.

00:26:20.140 Judge Deneen can't go forward with the six traitors because – it's because of staffing.

00:26:25.060 We don't have enough bodies in main justice.

00:26:30.140 We only got 14 or 15 of the U.S. attorneys.

00:26:33.340 You know you're working every day to come up with names of people that can go.

00:26:37.620 And the reason is the Jones days of the world have put the word out that if you work in Trump's second term,

00:26:46.160 particularly if you work in main justice, U.S. attorney, your career in big law, big conservative law is over, sir.

00:26:52.260 Am I incorrect on that?

00:26:53.580 No.

00:26:55.060 Well, I don't know if Jones days specifically has said that, but that's certainly what the word going around to these attorneys.

00:27:02.360 But, you know, frankly, if you have so-called Republican or conservative attorneys who don't want to go serve because of that reason, 0.91

00:27:10.980 then I don't want them to serve anyway because they're cowards and they're going to cuck out like these so-called Republican attorneys always do.

00:27:18.960 So when it becomes heated, you want people who are bold and fearless in these jobs. 0.93

00:27:25.340 You want the A.M.L. Boveys in these jobs and not the Noel Francisco's. 0.68

00:27:30.820 Mike, we'll let you bounce.

00:27:32.080 I know you're busy.

00:27:33.220 Article 3, you're always coming in hot social media, particularly late at night, maybe after Mike's had an adult beverage or two.

00:27:40.760 Where do they go, sir?

00:27:42.420 It's article3project.org.

00:27:45.520 Article number3project.org.

00:27:48.340 And I don't drink and drive, but I don't drink and tweet.

00:27:51.360 Okay.

00:27:51.920 What's the Twitter?

00:27:52.860 What's the Twitter feed?

00:27:53.760 Oh, it's M-R-D-D-M-I-A. 1.00

00:27:57.560 M-R-D-D-M-I-A. 0.99

00:27:59.840 And thank you, Steve.

00:28:00.900 Thank you, sir, for making that clear.

00:28:03.920 We're going to talk to Cleet about the same topic and others, including Georgia and John Thune, next in the War Room.

00:28:09.980 The world is getting more unstable and chaotic every day.

00:28:19.980 It seems like everywhere you look, there's another crisis, another controversy, another conflict, or just outright catastrophe.

00:28:28.760 You can't control what happens out there, but you can control how you prepare for it.

00:28:34.020 You can make sure that no matter what happens, you have the basics covered in case one of these disasters reaches your doorstep.

00:28:43.160 You know, things like having enough food to eat when the shelves are empty.

00:28:47.100 And when it comes to my family's food security, I trust my Patriot Supply.

00:29:46.760 War Room.

00:29:47.460 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

00:29:49.880 Okay, let me make sure of nomenclature, because maybe we're talking too much inside Washington

00:29:56.640 baseball, but this is important for this audience to understand.

00:30:01.380 Jones Day is a massive international law firm.

00:30:04.780 It's traditionally had a more of a conservative bent.

00:30:07.640 So it's Jones Day, just like Manette Phelps on the West Coast, or Wachtell Lipton on Wall

00:30:12.700 Street, the big M&A firm.

00:30:13.960 Or Kirkland Ellis out in Chicago, which is kind of Obama's, was the Obama's law firm.

00:30:23.860 So Jones Day was essentially, Cleta Mitchell, I'll bring you in here. 0.97

00:30:26.940 Jones Day was basically the law firm, and this happens in a lot of administrations, where

00:30:31.380 you get a kind of a lead law firm and a bunch of partners or people that want to be partners

00:30:35.820 come into the government.

00:30:37.800 In these roles, White House counsel is one, it's like director of OMB.

00:30:41.440 These are the jobs that may not have the super high visibility, but they are some of the

00:30:46.420 most important jobs in the government.

00:30:47.880 Solicitor general.

00:30:49.280 Over in Maine Justice, the two super important that is the Office of Legal Counsel, which writes

00:30:55.380 the fairness opinions on all the executive orders to make sure the executive orders of

00:31:00.720 Constitution will stand up against Supreme Court scrutiny.

00:31:03.840 This is why, and what they call the travel ban that Miller and I worked through, and President

00:31:08.400 Trump knew, he says, hey, this thing's going to withstand the Supreme Court.

00:31:11.660 We had an Office of Legal Counsel opinion.

00:31:13.340 And guess what?

00:31:14.240 Hello.

00:31:14.780 Besides what the media, you know, lighting their hair on fire, it withstood it, because

00:31:18.760 Office of Legal Counsel did it.

00:31:20.920 Solicitor general represents the government at the Supreme Court and is the trial lawyer

00:31:25.020 that basically makes the case.

00:31:26.380 John Sauer, who I think John did a very good job.

00:31:29.420 And I think that's the opinion that Kavanaugh gave us the roadmap to how to really take and

00:31:34.660 give Trump, President Trump, really amazing powers and confirm those powers on tariffs.

00:31:40.620 John Sauer from Missouri, who's done such a great job in working with President Trump

00:31:45.200 in the years in the wilderness.

00:31:46.360 John Sauer is a solicitor general.

00:31:48.000 These are major positions.

00:31:50.200 Jones Day partner, Noel Francisco, who I thought Noel did a great job as solicitor general,

00:31:54.660 was the partner there.

00:31:55.680 He's now listed on the JP Morgan team.

00:31:57.860 You got Don McGahn's not listed, but Don McGahn, I just don't understand.

00:32:02.140 I know the lawyers, particularly in D.C., are good about these conflicts, but Cleta,

00:32:07.300 and here's the deeper problem.

00:32:08.920 It's not just they're coming after President Trump with the law firm that represented the

00:32:12.740 first term, is that the audience wants Georgia done.

00:32:17.700 They want to get, you know, not have the ballots go back.

00:32:22.440 We want to perp walk Brennan and all the deep state.

00:32:25.240 The thing that's holding us up is not the will and not the direction to get this done.

00:32:30.580 It's basically having the legal talent to do it.

00:32:33.520 I mean, Cleta and the folks down in Georgia right now that are working are not officially

00:32:42.060 into the government because guess what?

00:32:44.980 Maine justice has very few people.

00:32:46.960 Emma Bovee went and is now on an appeals court because they think Emma Bovee could be a guy 1.00

00:32:53.920 that may be tapped for the Supreme Court, and that's a huge loss.

00:32:57.560 You have very few people at Maine justice.

00:32:59.320 We're basically hanging on by our fingertips over there, and I'm not trying to make, I'm

00:33:03.740 not trying to defend or make excuses for Pam Bondi, but here's a reality with Todd and Pam

00:33:10.280 and that whole crew, they can't get a ton of talent in because the big legal community

00:33:14.640 has said no.

00:33:15.520 If you're going to work for the Trump term, we want to represent corporate America, right?

00:33:20.180 And you're not going to have a career here.

00:33:22.760 So whether you want perp walks of the deep state or you want to get to the bottom of what

00:33:27.800 the CIA has been doing, you want to get to the bottom of all this, you need legal talent.

00:33:31.940 Judge Jeanine is not somebody that throws in the towel easily.

00:33:35.180 I think that, and I'm not saying she's throwing the towel over there.

00:33:37.920 I think it's fake news, but if it does have a scintilla of truth, it's because of the

00:33:43.200 simple fact she doesn't have enough legal talent over there. 1.00

00:33:47.060 Cleta Mitchell, thoughts?

00:33:50.020 Steve, you know, I never disagree with you.

00:33:52.900 I really never do, but I'm going to disagree with this.

00:33:55.940 Okay, good.

00:33:56.540 Because I've read too many of the papers that have been written by the lawyers that they

00:34:01.580 have and DOJ, and I'll give you an example.

00:34:07.920 You know, Harmeet Dillon, the Civil Rights Division, they've sued all these states.

00:34:13.140 I think they've sued 26 states for their voter rolls under the Civil Rights Act.

00:34:18.880 Federal statute, black letter law says that the attorney general may request and shall

00:34:25.520 be given, it's black letter law, shall be given any election records, period.

00:34:29.460 That's what it says.

00:34:30.300 And it says that in the Civil Rights Act.

00:34:32.160 It says that in the Federal Election Records Act.

00:34:35.040 Okay, they sue all these states.

00:34:36.380 You've got 27, 28 states that have refused to turn over their voter rolls.

00:34:41.060 Yep.

00:34:41.740 Well, let me tell you an interesting little fact.

00:34:44.600 One, I looked it up the other day.

00:34:47.720 Of the 26 states that they have sued, 23 of those states belong to something called ARRI,

00:34:54.700 the Electronic Registration Information Clearinghouse.

00:34:59.040 It is a left-wing organization that only exists not to clean voter rolls, but states pay money.

00:35:06.520 It's actually quite brilliant on the part of the founder.

00:35:10.180 And so, you know what they do?

00:35:12.060 All these states, 23 of those states belong to ARRI.

00:35:15.220 And you know what they do?

00:35:16.720 They turn over not just the voter rolls, but they turn over driver data that is forbidden

00:35:23.240 under federal law to be turned over to any non-governmental entity.

00:35:27.560 And so, I said, why are you not arguing that these same states that refuse to follow the

00:35:35.360 federal statute and turn over these documents, these records to the Attorney General as required

00:35:41.280 by federal law, all these states say, we're not going to turn over personal private information.

00:35:46.240 But hang on, because I'm pressed for time.

00:35:48.660 What are you disagreeing with me about?

00:35:50.500 I'm not saying there's not great talent at Maine Justice and with the 14 or 15 we've got.

00:35:56.760 But hang on, if you look at the second and third ranks, call Maine Justice, talk to Todd,

00:36:02.660 talk to the Office of Pam. 0.99

00:36:04.420 They'll tell you the number one thing they've got is that they can't get enough talent because

00:36:08.060 people are naturally hesitant, and that's because of the big law firm.

00:36:11.140 Are you disagreeing with that?

00:36:13.060 I am disagreeing with that.

00:36:14.580 What I am saying is that they're not making the arguments they need to be making.

00:36:18.740 I ask the question, why don't you go into court and say, Your Honor, they won't turn those 0.96

00:36:23.540 things over to us, but they're turning them over to a left-wing group.

00:36:27.200 And you know what I was told?

00:36:28.940 Oh, we're not allowed to make that argument.

00:36:31.080 What?

00:36:32.100 And then I see that they're defending that argument, the Justice Department.

00:36:36.600 I mean, the problem I see is that I worry they don't have the will.

00:36:41.780 What have we done to Ed Martin?

00:36:43.060 Where's Ed Martin?

00:36:43.700 He can say, he's brilliant.

00:36:45.160 He's a fighter.

00:36:46.160 They should be lifting him up.

00:36:48.340 They are, you know, he's still getting along great with the president and all, but there's

00:36:52.760 so much that they could have done.

00:36:53.940 Oh, I see what you're saying.

00:36:54.780 Yes.

00:36:55.160 The president pardoned all of those people.

00:36:57.380 He pardoned the electors.

00:36:59.120 He pardoned the lawyers.

00:37:01.000 He pardoned everybody.

00:37:02.320 And do you know what they didn't do?

00:37:04.540 Go look at the DOJ website.

00:37:07.660 See if you can find the pardon letter that was prepared, the memo that explains why all

00:37:13.760 of these, this could be done by the president.

00:37:15.580 So you're saying your argument is not simply, it's not simply a lack of, of talent or that

00:37:20.820 second and third tier of talent.

00:37:22.180 You're saying even at the top level, they don't have the will and you've seen this.

00:37:26.420 They don't have the killer instinct.

00:37:28.160 Okay.

00:37:28.820 They don't have the killer instinct.

00:37:30.080 And that's when I don't know, you, you cannot push a rope.

00:37:34.100 What we used to say in Oklahoma and, and there are a lot of ropes at the, at DOJ.

00:37:39.960 But hang on, but let's go back and hang on.

00:37:42.020 Let's go back to the matter at hand in, in, cause we were very concerned.

00:37:45.180 As you remember the last couple of weeks, this is why we had Harry McDouglin and other

00:37:49.120 people in Georgia that were specialists in this case and knew it.

00:37:52.560 We were quite concerned about this.

00:37:54.040 You are happy with what they represented last week and filed.

00:37:58.060 Okay, well, let's, let's, let's go.

00:37:59.400 And that's, and I look, I agree with you.

00:38:02.980 There's not enough going on, but my argument is not enough going on because they don't

00:38:07.200 have the depth of talent.

00:38:08.340 You're arguing that you don't think the political will.

00:38:11.020 And if that's the case, we'll send this clip to the president and make sure he has a chat

00:38:15.780 with people because he's definitely got the will and is very focused on this and make

00:38:19.540 sure he sees all your clips.

00:38:21.440 So talk to me about, let's talk before Thune, cause we're gonna talk about lack of will

00:38:25.240 there.

00:38:25.880 Talk to me about Georgia.

00:38:26.820 Are you happy with the government's response and the team that came together in the government's

00:38:31.580 response?

00:38:32.160 And are we even going to trial on Friday or is the judge going to dismiss it?

00:38:37.700 Well, that's a really good question.

00:38:39.240 Yes.

00:38:39.460 I am very happy with the pleadings that they filed.

00:38:41.880 They filed two papers in response to the, the pleadings, the petition filed by county commissioners

00:38:50.560 and the board of elections who don't even have custody and control, the ballots and election

00:38:55.640 materials.

00:38:56.180 Those are under the custody and control of the court clerk.

00:39:00.760 And so the first thing that the DOJ argued, they did go in.

00:39:04.600 And I, I've made a pest of myself to the point that somebody at DOJ finally said in response,

00:39:11.820 we said, what is wrong with you, Cleta?

00:39:13.540 I said, what is wrong with me is I'm worried that you guys are not fighting and I don't,

00:39:18.480 I want you to fight.

00:39:19.320 So they have, and I give them full credit.

00:39:21.620 They brought in lawyers.

00:39:22.920 They have had some people who are not even in the criminal division, but who've stepped

00:39:27.160 in to help them.

00:39:28.680 And you mentioned John Sauer and others.

00:39:30.800 I have a huge amount of respect for John Sauer.

00:39:32.960 He's a true, he's a true conservative, true MAGA conservative and a great lawyer.

00:39:38.480 So yes, they filed.

00:39:39.500 He's done, I think Sauer, I think Sauer's fantastic.

00:39:42.380 And I thought his arguments on the tariffs.

00:39:44.560 Now, now, but let me ask you, given the overwhelming response, because they put senior main justice

00:39:50.480 people on this, given the overwhelming blow out of the water response, why is this even

00:39:56.400 a thing?

00:39:57.760 How come this judge is not dismissing it?

00:39:59.640 Well, it appears now we are going to go to either hearing or you call it a trial on Friday,

00:40:05.660 correct?

00:40:06.000 In Georgia, this has not been shut down by the judge.

00:40:09.160 Not yet, but what happened was the Department of Justice came in and first they filed a response

00:40:14.700 to, they filed a really thorough response on the factual issues.

00:40:19.640 And then they came in and filed another motion, which was to say, hey, why are we even having

00:40:26.440 this evidentiary hearing?

00:40:28.360 This is highly unusual, totally improper.

00:40:32.120 And so they really did come in and they asked the judge to cancel the evidentiary hearing and

00:40:38.200 made a very good pleading with lots and lots of citations.

00:40:43.340 I think the most hilarious or most ironic part is they cited the 11th Circuit case when President

00:40:50.680 Trump had gone in in the Mar-a-Lago raid case and tried to get, tried to do what the Fulton

00:40:57.900 County plaintiffs are trying to do.

00:41:00.060 And the 11th Circuit said, no, you can't do that.

00:41:02.380 So they're fighting.

00:41:03.160 So now the Department of Justice, Trump's Department of Justice, is citing that case as the reason

00:41:08.780 why Fulton County can't have its way here, which I thought was pretty ironic.

00:41:12.740 But no, the Department of Justice has stepped up.

00:41:15.360 They've done a really good job.

00:41:16.560 But look, I've been reading these cases and orders and watching these judges, both state

00:41:22.100 and federal, in Fulton County, Georgia, for five years.

00:41:26.480 And I can just tell you that there's something in the water down there.

00:41:30.460 And who knows what this judge will do?

00:41:33.420 I have, you know, you just never know what these judges there.

00:41:36.640 I don't know what's wrong with them, but that's, it's a problem with a lot of the judges there. 0.91

00:41:39.400 Well, they're crooks, they're protecting a, they're protecting a Republican apparatus 0.61

00:41:43.420 that knows these things are being stolen and going along with it. 0.77

00:41:46.260 But let me pivot, and I'm going to hold you through the break because I got to do McCrory

00:41:50.060 in North Carolina.

00:41:50.900 This letter to John Thune, one of the reasons I think if you, if you could argue they got

00:41:55.820 a lack of will over at Justice, is the people that confirmed them have a real lack of will

00:42:01.100 in the U.S. Senate.

00:42:01.940 Tell me about the letter you've sent John Thune about the Save America Act.

00:42:06.060 Well, 80 organizations signed a letter to John Thune, which was delivered yesterday.

00:42:11.900 You can find it on EI Watchdogs, which is the Election Integrity Network web app, Twitter.

00:42:19.960 X, X location, whatever.

00:42:24.240 And, and basically this third paragraph is the most important.

00:42:28.900 It basically says to John Thune, look, here's one thing everybody needs to understand.

00:42:33.260 We have been working really hard to educate ourselves and a few others, leaders, anybody

00:42:38.760 who wants to, about these Senate rules, because we want to know how it is that these senators

00:42:43.460 utilize these rules to avoid voting, to avoid doing real work, to avoid legislating.

00:42:48.820 And so when we passed, when Chip Roy and Mike Lee came up with the idea of doing the Save

00:42:56.520 America Act, and what they did was it was put into a bill, they stripped out a bill that

00:43:03.120 had already passed the Senate, a Rick Scott bill.

00:43:05.460 And so took all the content out of it and put in it, put in that Senate vehicle, that bill,

00:43:11.820 the content of the Save America Act.

00:43:14.380 So now then it's gone back to the Senate from the House, not as a House bill, but as a Senate

00:43:19.540 bill returning to the Senate, which means that then can call that up at any time and it can

00:43:25.740 proceed to the immediate consideration.

00:43:28.220 Immediate vote.

00:43:28.760 51 votes.

00:43:29.960 51 votes.

00:43:31.320 Hang on for one second.

00:43:32.360 We're going to come back and explain this to the audience of how this structure works

00:43:36.820 to get Save America passed.

00:43:39.360 State of the Union Day.

00:43:40.740 We're covering it all day and through the night.

00:43:43.100 We're in the war room in Real America's Voice.

00:43:45.540 Imagine having the world's most connected financial insider feeding you vital information,

00:43:51.460 the kind of information only a handful of people have access to.

00:43:55.120 And that could create a fortune for those who know what to do with it.

00:44:51.580 Here's your host, Stephen K.

00:44:53.620 Vance.

00:44:56.960 Welcome back.

00:44:58.320 Birch Gold to the 27th, which is Friday.

00:45:01.180 Also, President Trump is coming to Texas.

00:45:03.420 We're going to cover that wall to wall.

00:45:05.000 Also, there's going to be, I think, a Maha. 0.82

00:45:07.180 Tony Lyons is going to join us later.

00:45:08.600 Maha event in Austin on Thursday we're going to cover.

00:45:12.620 Plus, the State of the Union all night tonight.

00:45:14.280 I'll be with you the entire time until we do a wrap-up afterwards with analysis.

00:45:18.080 I do believe the speech is not going to be short.

00:45:22.660 So let's say that.

00:45:24.000 I think it will clearly go through at least through an hour.

00:45:26.880 President Trump, I think, is going to go through a detailed analysis of not just simply what he's accomplished, but why he's accomplished it and what it looks like going forward.

00:45:36.340 This will be his chance to address the nation, his biggest chance to address the nation before the midterms, traditionally.

00:45:43.880 And like I said, he's coming here on Friday to Corpus Christi.

00:45:48.640 We will cover that live.

00:45:49.820 I think, actually, the event itself will be during our 5 o'clock show.

00:45:53.620 So looking forward to doing that.

00:45:57.040 I'm going to get Cleta back up here in a second. 1.00

00:45:59.120 To the 27th also is the last day for birchgold.com.

00:46:02.440 You go to birchgold.com, promo code Bannon.

00:46:04.880 End of the dollar empire.

00:46:05.700 If you make a qualifying investment, you are eligible to get for free the Patriots edition of the end of the dollar empire, which has kind of become a thing because we started when gold was, I don't know, $1,100 an ounce, and now it's over $5,000.

00:46:22.300 And we explained not what the price was going to be but the process so you can get pattern recognition.

00:46:28.600 And so many people have taken advantage of that.

00:46:30.440 We want everybody to take advantage of it.

00:46:32.300 So go there today, birchgold.com, promo code Bannon, end of the dollar empire.

00:46:36.740 The special for birchgold ends on Friday.

00:46:40.180 So you make contact with Philip Patrick and the team.

00:46:42.540 And they've now gone through a couple of printings of this.

00:46:44.500 The demand for the book, the hard copy edition has been pretty overwhelming.

00:46:49.560 So continue on, folks.

00:46:52.560 Cleta.

00:46:54.540 Okay, is this just Senate voodoo?

00:46:57.280 Are we playing the games of the kind of insiders?

00:47:00.000 Talk to me about how, is this legitimate?

00:47:01.800 You can actually take a bill, strip it out, put this in as a Senate bill.

00:47:05.580 And if that's the case, why has John Doon got him on?

00:47:08.540 Why is he calling back today and passed the thing before President Trump's State of the Union?

00:47:13.080 If you talk to the war room posse, if you talk to the base out there, if you talk to just average Republicans,

00:47:18.240 this is the priority of the Save America because of the voter ID.

00:47:21.180 You know, these diminished requirements on mail-in ballots, on cleaning up the voter rolls, and particularly voter ID, is top of mind.

00:47:28.640 And people are infuriated with, they're furious with the Senate for not just going to a standing or talking filibuster, which the president keeps passing.

00:47:37.880 So if you've got this special magic, why are we not using the special magic, ma'am?

00:47:42.120 Well, because they're not used to, it's a two-step process.

00:47:46.540 I didn't quite finish the process.

00:47:47.920 Sorry, I got, you know, to talk too much.

00:47:50.540 But if he moves for a cloture vote, to go to 60 votes, to cut off debate, instead of having a filibuster,

00:48:01.500 then that is, everybody just needs to know that that is, he's intentionally killing the bill.

00:48:06.980 He doesn't have to do that.

00:48:08.780 This is a two-step process.

00:48:10.900 Step one, because of the way it's come back from the House, it can go immediately to the floor on a motion to proceed,

00:48:17.380 and it only takes 51 votes to do that.

00:48:19.960 He's got those 51 votes.

00:48:21.960 But then what happens is make them have the filibuster. 0.54

00:48:26.180 Make the Democrats come down and talk.

00:48:28.520 And that's what they're afraid of.

00:48:30.420 I mean, that's apparently what Thune is afraid of.

00:48:32.300 And he has these other bills he wants to bring up, the farm bill, the highway bill.

00:48:36.400 No, nothing, yes, we need to get DHS reopened.

00:48:41.000 We absolutely need to get that done.

00:48:43.160 But this should be part of the negotiations.

00:48:46.180 The motion to proceed allows this bill, the Save America Act, to come to the floor.

00:48:51.520 So let's get the letter back up there.

00:48:55.760 Grace, Mo, and Elizabeth will push it out, because we've got the letter.

00:48:58.460 Just, what is the purpose of the letter?

00:49:00.840 What do you guys hope these 80 groups, conservative groups, come together?

00:49:03.920 What do you hope to achieve?

00:49:05.580 What is your purpose on this?

00:49:07.360 To make him understand that we know the drill.

00:49:10.060 You talked about the insider games that they play in the Senate to keep from having to do anything.

00:49:15.560 And we want him to know.

00:49:17.400 We want all our Republican senators to know that just saying they're going to vote for the bill,

00:49:22.020 that's huge, and we appreciate it.

00:49:23.740 But now we want them to make the Democrats actually engage in the talking filibuster. 0.98

00:49:28.940 And they'll give out.

00:49:30.200 They'll be exhausted after a few days or a week.

00:49:33.920 And that's fine.

00:49:35.140 And then when they quit talking, which they will at some point, then the bill can be considered with 51 votes and passed.

00:49:44.640 But you've got to make the Democrats talk.

00:49:47.100 If we have 51 votes, because I think McConnell will work against it.

00:49:51.500 Anyway, hang on for a second.

00:49:52.780 I want to play.

00:49:53.800 You know, and I think the Hill newspaper today has an article talking about this coming together of these groups to basically say,

00:50:01.960 these are Republicans that we're going to wait out Trump and we're going to retake the Republican Party.

00:50:07.460 We're going to get rid of MAGA.

00:50:08.720 We're going to get rid of the populist nationalists.

00:50:10.420 All Trump's just a bad dream, a summer storm that's passing through.

00:50:14.640 Let's play.

00:50:15.060 Can we play McCrory again?

00:50:16.400 Because this guy's a beauty.

00:50:17.520 Let's play him dumping on President Trump on MSNBC.

00:50:21.240 Is the pre-Trump Republican Party gone, never to be revived, Governor?

00:50:27.920 No.

00:50:28.540 I think we've had these streaks of populism, never to this example, over a personality.

00:50:34.240 But this is a populist movement.

00:50:36.540 And maybe there's a reason for the populist movement, because the left went too far left in some of its rhetoric,

00:50:42.140 and there was pushback against it.

00:50:43.780 But, you know, when I was on the campaign trail as governor with President-elect Trump or the candidate Trump,

00:50:51.820 I never wore a MAGA hat because I never know what it meant.

00:50:54.680 I don't – listen, when I was governor and mayor, I never let anybody use slogans around me,

00:50:59.560 because I think slogans don't say anything.

00:51:01.880 And we still use –

00:51:02.540 Full stop.

00:51:03.180 Full stop.

00:51:04.180 He went around – folks, let's – Trump went around and let this guy go.

00:51:09.940 He was running for re-election in Carolina.

00:51:11.600 President Trump pulled it out, I think with a point, point and a half, North Carolina in 16,

00:51:16.660 and that's the one I was most concerned about.

00:51:18.980 Meadows and his wife told us early enough, we got this, that last 10 days we could go focus on crashing the blue wall,

00:51:27.560 which delivered the victory, the historic victory.

00:51:30.020 McCrory lost.

00:51:31.860 He's bragging about not wearing a MAGA hat. 1.00

00:51:34.040 You got your ass kicked by Cooper, dude. 1.00

00:51:36.760 You're a bald – 1.00

00:51:37.500 And then he came – he came to Trump Tower and on his knees begged for a job.

00:51:42.840 I'm a populist.

00:51:43.840 I so much believe in Make America Great Again.

00:51:46.300 President-elect Trump is just amazing, this guy, what he knows.

00:51:50.800 Cleta Mitchell, where do people go get you, ma'am?

00:51:53.200 We'll have you back on tomorrow as we run up to Georgia.

00:51:55.440 How do people get you?

00:51:56.560 Hold the story for Carolina.

00:51:58.060 We'll do it tomorrow.

00:51:58.900 So, what's your – where do people go?

00:52:03.360 At Cleta Mitchell.

00:52:04.560 That's on X.

00:52:05.740 And then our website, go to electionintegritynetwork.org, electionintegritynetwork.org,

00:52:13.300 and go to EI Watchdogs, which is our Twitter handle on apps.

00:52:19.060 Okay, let's get it all out there.

00:52:20.840 Save those great stories.

00:52:22.240 I'm going to get you.

00:52:22.740 I'm going to get you tomorrow.

00:52:23.580 Cleta Mitchell knows the inside baseball down there in Carolina. 1.00

00:52:26.060 The gall of that guy to sit there and go, I didn't wear a MAGA hat when I'm campaigning. 0.99

00:52:30.400 You got your ass kicked, and Trump won your state, and he couldn't even drag you across the line. 0.99

00:52:35.820 You were – so the people down there could not stand you. 1.00

00:52:40.520 Unbelievable.

00:52:40.980 Then he begged for a job.

00:52:42.420 What a beauty.

00:52:43.540 Short break.

00:52:44.080 Back in a moment.

00:52:50.960 If you could make one holiday wish, would you wish to be free from your credit card and other debt?

00:52:57.020 Let's see if we can help you with that.

00:52:59.920 If we could give yourself one gift this holiday season, would it be finally to get some relief from your credit card and other debt?

00:53:06.560 I might have a solution.

00:53:08.880 Here's why now is the time to make a move.

00:53:11.720 This time of year, credit card and loan companies close out their books.

00:53:15.480 They clean up past due accounts.

00:53:18.360 They sell a write-off to debt to clear their books.

00:53:20.960 That means if you have credit card debt and unpaid bills, lenders may be more open to negotiating and settling your account before you're in.

00:53:30.320 That means right now, and I mean right now, you may actually have leverage.

00:53:36.180 And Done With Debt knows how to use this to your advantage.

00:53:39.840 They monitor lender trends and understand the year-end pressure on creditors.

00:53:43.820 They use that timing to negotiate hard on your behalf.

00:53:48.880 Now's the time to get out from under crushing debt and interest payments without bankruptcy or taking on new loans.

00:53:56.380 Done With Debt goes to work for you month one with one clear goal, to reduce your total debt and leave you with more money every month.
