Bannon's War Room - Episode 5174： Declaring A National Emergency Over Our Elections To Stop Foreign Interference

00:00:00.000 It's the safe and secure presidential elections, national elections we have enjoyed in our country without interruption over the course of this century.

00:00:09.100 And then point Z, that is the nightmare scenario.

00:00:12.680 A president who has already exhibited a willingness and interest and effort to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power,

00:00:18.840 encouraging violence if it's necessary, with an unfettered control over our election systems.

00:00:24.460 It is difficult to pinpoint precisely where we are today, right now, this hour, on that sliding scale between A and Z.

00:00:32.820 But this afternoon's developments make it abundantly clear we are straying further and further from point A and lurching ever closer and closer to point Z.

00:00:43.040 The latest reporting from MS Now, quote,

00:00:45.460 Donald Trump has directed his White House counsel's office to explore the feasibility of an executive order requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration

00:00:54.860 and photo identification at polling locations nationwide, even as his own lawyers have warned the moves would likely run into legal trouble,

00:01:03.620 according to a senior White House official who spoke anonymously.

00:01:07.300 Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vogt and White House Staff Secretary Will Scharf are among those overseeing the effort

00:01:14.300 to determine whether a legally viable path forward on this stuff exists.

00:01:19.420 It is the latest sign that Donald Trump intends to reshape American elections and unilaterally and without congressional buy-in,

00:01:26.720 test the limits of his executive authority.

00:01:29.700 The only part of that that is more chilling, more chilling than the idea of a unilateral executive order

00:01:35.980 that could disenfranchise a large number of American voters with the stroke of a pen,

00:01:40.520 was that phrased toward the end of the reporting, quote,

00:01:43.700 the latest sign, because it is, as we've been chronicling here, just a piece, albeit a very important one,

00:01:51.080 of that drift ever closer to point Z on the spectrum.

00:01:55.120 Case in point, brand new reporting in The Washington Post, out late this afternoon, quote,

00:01:59.180 Pro-Trump activists who say they're in coordination with the White House are circulating a 17-page draft executive order

00:02:06.200 that claims China interfered in the 2020 election as a basis to declare a national emergency

00:02:11.640 that would unlock extraordinary presidential power over voting.

00:02:15.900 Donald Trump has repeatedly previewed a plan to mandate voter ID

00:02:19.440 and to ban mail-in ballots in November's midterm elections.

00:02:23.740 The activists expect their draft will figure into Trump's promised executive order on the issue.

00:02:28.160 The White House declined to elaborate on Trump's plans.

00:02:31.980 Considering those two pieces of reporting from today as a pair,

00:02:36.560 you can ask yourself, in our nation's 250-year history,

00:02:40.360 have there been 250 days more important to the health and well-being and survival of our democracy

00:02:46.600 than the span between this afternoon and Election Day?

00:02:51.200 Because point Z is calling, and we might be closer to it than you think.

00:02:55.180 I think that, number one, all of the folks that are at the top echelons of the White House

00:03:00.900 were there in 2021, 2022, 2023, during the indictment, during the January 6th committee hearings.

00:03:08.420 All of them know exactly what took place if they were not even working in the White House themselves.

00:03:13.740 So they know what they've signed on to and they know what their boss is capable of doing here.

00:03:17.800 They also understand that people like Steve Bannon can pass along documents and articles

00:03:21.460 directly to key aid and get into Donald Trump's ear, and suddenly he's posting it overnight.

00:03:26.920 Here's the one thing that I think is different from our reporting this go-around.

00:03:29.780 I've been talking to local officials, too, here.

00:03:32.020 You know, if you look at Georgia, right,

00:03:34.480 the folks understand that three of the five Georgia State Election Board members are MAGA-Trump allies.

00:03:40.500 And they are preparing, understanding the enormity of the power that those three election board members have.

00:03:47.760 And so folks on the ground are preparing.

00:03:49.480 Out in Arizona, Maricopa County, there are several Republicans on the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors.

00:03:54.260 They've lived through this before, and they are preparing.

00:03:56.800 There is the recorder who's in charge of Maricopa County elections, Justin Heap.

00:04:00.180 For example, he said just a couple weeks ago that his office said claimed that there were disenfranchised voters.

00:04:05.960 You know what that Republican-led Board of Supervisors did?

00:04:08.320 They called him in and made him go and testify to his claim,

00:04:13.800 essentially saying, you're not going to get to Election Day claiming that voters are disenfranchised.

00:04:18.140 We're holding you accountable now.

00:04:19.740 He and his office were unable to answer the question.

00:04:22.300 I think that is going to be the differences at the local and state level here,

00:04:25.420 because we know exactly what the White House and Donald Trump have up their sleeve.

00:04:28.660 The decision protects him from being criminally prosecuted for doing that,

00:04:32.640 but it doesn't make that which is unconstitutional lawful.

00:04:35.660 What is in the system?

00:04:39.040 What remains in the system as an antibody to protect against his unconstitutional conduct?

00:04:44.660 Well, you're exactly right.

00:04:46.260 The Constitution is very clear.

00:04:48.240 States run elections.

00:04:49.920 Congress has a legitimate role in passing national legislation.

00:04:53.940 Presidents have no role.

00:04:55.540 And already this year, as we've seen this campaign to try to undermine the midterms, courts have stepped up.

00:05:04.700 He had an executive order last year purporting to take personal control of elections

00:05:09.860 and require people to produce a passport, not even a birth certificate, but a passport.

00:05:15.060 And it was blocked by the courts, which said it was illegal.

00:05:19.180 There is no legal basis for any of these things that are being reported.

00:05:22.980 And this notional executive action claiming Chinese influence in 2020,

00:05:32.060 it seems to be based on sort of wackadoodle theories by election deniers with no basis in reality.

00:05:39.900 Courts are willing to step up, and states have a role as well.

00:05:43.840 They run the elections.

00:05:44.720 So I do think that if we are aware, if we're calling out these efforts, and if we all do what we need to do,

00:05:52.500 we can have secure and free and fair and hopefully uneventful elections in November.

00:05:59.740 Times reports this.

00:06:00.960 As the political environment darkens for his party, Donald Trump is again warning Republicans that Democrats are going to rig the results.

00:06:07.460 At the same time, he's taking actions that make Democrats fear that Republicans are actually going to subvert the election.

00:06:12.280 Trump has shown himself unbound by precedent in his second term, and with prominent election deniers in powerful federal posts

00:06:19.060 and top cabinet officials on the hunt for evidence of voter fraud, his moves have heightened anxieties about potential interference.

00:06:25.760 He has called for Republicans to nationalize elections, though the Constitution leaves their administration to the states.

00:06:31.760 The newly politicized Justice Department is suing states for private voter rolls.

00:06:35.360 The FBI has seized ballots from the 2020 election from the Georgia Election Center, and Trump is so personally invested that he praised some of the agents by phone.

00:06:44.400 Help me understand why.

00:06:46.120 I mean, I guess it's because the quality of the people around him is underneath the quality of the people that were around in 2020.

00:06:53.480 And Donald Trump is ultimately going to get what he wants, right?

00:06:56.520 You can talk about Kash Patel and whether his job is on the line or not, but guess what?

00:07:00.120 Kash Patel is going and executing an FBI search of Fulton County, is director of national intelligence, right?

00:07:06.160 He doesn't have to agree with her assessment about Iran's nuclear capabilities, but she's down there in Fulton County.

00:07:11.400 And if you are looking here at the ways in which they can impact this election ahead, that from the sources that we have talked to,

00:07:17.660 it is these very folks that Donald Trump continues to turn to, those that are willing to execute on this here.

00:07:23.020 And if you go back, I think we have to go back to 2020.

00:07:26.380 If you go back to the dissent of Justice Sotomayor, she was very clear in the question there of whether the president had absolute immunity.

00:07:35.360 She said, organizes a military coup to hold on to power?

00:07:38.040 Immune.

00:07:38.700 That was her interpretation of the opinion of the Supreme Court.

00:07:42.580 And the president of the United States could potentially use his military, trying to use emergency powers,

00:07:48.660 which Brennan Center has done a great job in understanding that there are no legal statutes that allow him to move forward with that.

00:07:55.020 But that doesn't mean that Donald Trump is not going to try, because we have seen him try before, and especially in the hours before the election.

00:08:01.740 There's a big question here of especially if they try to lay claim to Iran or China, trying to use foreign influence.

00:08:08.480 The president could try to make the case that there is a foreign threat here domestically, that it makes it incumbent upon him to,

00:08:16.360 whether it be the C's voting machines, which he considered doing.

00:08:20.200 Michael Schmidt did a great report there in real time about that.

00:08:23.380 And this is a moment here where the president of the United States is more eager than ever,

00:08:26.860 clearly based off of our reporting, to push the ball forward on this.

00:08:30.160 And simply having Congress not pass a SAVA Act, that's not going to satisfy him.

00:08:34.000 He doesn't need to steal it.

00:08:35.680 He needs to throw it into confusion.

00:08:38.380 And if you throw it into confusion, and you are the federal government, and you control law enforcement, you control intelligence,

00:08:46.260 you have a bully pulpit unlike no other, that is enough to undermine the process.

00:08:53.040 And if he has a director of national intelligence like Tulsi Gabbard, whose grasp on reality, I will just say, is not particularly firm,

00:09:02.860 she would be willing to say things that, in the intelligence community, we would say, have very low confidence.

00:09:13.240 This notion that China interfered in 2020, I worked Chinese intelligence my entire career.

00:09:20.300 There is no validity to that theory whatsoever.

00:09:24.440 And nobody who's ever examined the Chinese intelligence services or the government of China would argue otherwise.

00:09:32.540 But he now has a national security council, an intelligence community, and a law enforcement apparatus

00:09:38.780 that is willing to say the most unhinged, untethered things possible, if it will help him throw the election into turmoil.

00:09:48.420 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.

00:09:56.020 Pray for our enemies.

00:09:57.980 Because we're going medieval on these people.

00:10:01.240 Here's the time I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.

00:10:05.520 The people have had a belly full of it.

00:10:07.420 I know you don't like hearing that.

00:10:08.840 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.

00:10:11.540 It's going to happen.

00:10:12.580 And where do people like that go to share the big line?

00:10:16.220 MAGA Media.

00:10:17.120 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

00:10:23.020 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

00:10:26.760 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

00:10:33.140 War Room.

00:10:33.960 Here's your host, Stephen K. Band.

00:10:36.280 It's Friday, 27th, February of the year of the Lord, 2026.

00:10:46.380 We've got three big things we have to cover.

00:10:48.280 A lot of things we want to cover, but we have to prioritize.

00:10:51.140 President Trump's coming out to Texas.

00:10:53.100 Corpus Christi, Brian Glenn is there.

00:10:55.340 We'll get to Brian Glenn in a moment.

00:10:57.080 Huge, important evolution for the president.

00:11:01.600 Change of schedule will come out here today on the last day of early voting in the state of Texas.

00:11:06.700 Election Day is Tuesday.

00:11:08.600 Also, the path to war or peace in Iran.

00:11:14.700 We're going to go through that.

00:11:16.320 And most importantly, the signal, not the noise.

00:11:19.920 This issue of the stolen 2020 election and changes that need to be made around that are now coming to a head now.

00:11:27.580 They're coming to a head now because the election is only a couple of months away.

00:11:31.360 And they need to come to a head now.

00:11:32.880 We're going to have expert people that have fought these fights in Pennsylvania, in Michigan, in Georgia.

00:11:38.540 Tomorrow, I'm going to have Judge Troupas.

00:11:40.440 Trying to track down Judge Troupas.

00:11:41.820 We have Wisconsin.

00:11:42.620 We will also have Arizona.

00:11:44.300 Let's start with Sam Faddis.

00:11:45.580 First off, Sam, let me get to your assessment of Iran, the situation in a moment.

00:11:50.360 But you, besides spending your career defending the country, you went back to Pennsylvania, one of the grassroots leaders.

00:11:56.720 And you were particularly one of the leaders when we had to get into the fight of the 2020 election.

00:12:01.780 You've been in intelligence all your life.

00:12:05.060 You've seen this, what they're working, what the president's working on, on this executive order that would talk about foreign influence and details of that, no matter what, MSNBC and all their intelligence experts that downplay the Chinese Communist Party.

00:12:18.740 That's going to start coming out in the next couple of weeks.

00:12:20.520 What's your assessment so far, being one of the grassroots leaders that has fought the obviously stolen election on the mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania, with where the president is headed with this, with this executive order, sir?

00:12:35.140 Dave, look, what we have to do is face the reality.

00:12:38.700 The election system is broken, and it is full of holes.

00:12:43.380 It's full of holes, like in the mundane level of paper ballots appear effectively nobody knows who filled them out.

00:12:52.480 They don't even know exactly when they were mailed.

00:12:55.040 I mean, we could go on with that kind of narrative forever.

00:12:58.580 But at the strategic level, talking about foreign influence, also horribly vulnerable.

00:13:06.240 And we have really strong indications, really strong evidence of foreign involvement.

00:13:12.380 Let's talk about the Chinese, Connect.

00:13:14.420 A few years ago, this company, Connect, out of Michigan, that provides basically software that's in use all over the country for elections.

00:13:26.480 Every top person in Connect is a Chinese national.

00:13:31.320 The company has direct contact, documented contact with involvement with Chinese United Front,

00:13:39.000 which means Chinese intel, Chinese efforts to influence elections and policy in target countries.

00:13:49.100 Connect documented to have lied, to have sent data to Communist China, to have stored data on servers in Communist China.

00:14:02.760 Connect documented to have had super admin access to these election systems, meaning they can change anything and also cover their tracks because they control the security.

00:14:16.900 And maybe most startling of all, that that super admin access was also given to Chinese nationals inside China by Connect.

00:14:28.260 Okay.

00:14:29.000 That was years ago.

00:14:31.100 Sam, hang on.

00:14:33.500 I want to go.

00:14:33.960 I'm going to continue on with Connect when we return.

00:14:36.100 I believe the head guy was indicted by a grand jury in Los Angeles.

00:14:41.220 Kind of murky what Biden, from the laptop from hell, what Biden did with that.

00:14:45.940 Sam Faddis, Jim Hoft, Garland Favarito.

00:14:49.840 For me, your names, they ought to be.

00:14:51.460 They're at the forefront of the fight for free and fair elections in the United States of America.

00:14:56.720 Next in the war room.

00:14:59.460 A new year means new financial goals, like making sure your savings are secure and diversified.

00:15:04.980 Will this be the year you finally listen to me and talk to someone from Birch Gold Group?

00:15:11.740 Honestly, they're great people.

00:15:13.060 I appreciate their educational approach and their understanding of macroeconomics.

00:15:18.140 There are forces pushing the dollar lower and gold higher, which is why they believe every American should own physical gold.

00:15:25.620 So until February, if you are a first-time gold buyer, Birch Gold is offering a rebate of up to $10,000 on qualifying purchases.

00:15:36.880 To claim eligibility and start the process, just text BANNON at 989898.

00:15:44.200 Birch Gold can help you roll an existing IRA or 401k into an IRA in gold, and you're still eligible for a rebate of up to $10,000.

00:15:53.920 Make right now your first time to buy gold and take advantage of a rebate of up to $10,000 when you buy by February 27th.

00:16:05.200 Text my name, BANNON, 989898, and claim your eligibility today.

00:16:09.660 Remember, text BANNON, B-A-N-N-O-N, to 989898.

00:16:14.240 You've got to the end of February, 27 February, to qualify.

00:16:18.560 Up to a $10,000 rebate.

00:16:21.120 And the reason they don't want to do it, why would anybody not want voter ID? 0.66

00:16:26.940 One reason, because they want to cheat.

00:16:29.160 There's only one reason.

00:16:31.200 They make up all excuses.

00:16:33.400 They say it's racist.

00:16:35.180 They come up with things you almost say, what imagination they have.

00:16:38.820 They want to cheat.

00:16:40.220 They have cheated.

00:16:41.380 And their policy is so bad that the only way they can get elected is to cheat.

00:16:45.920 And we're going to stop it.

00:16:47.520 We have to stop it, John.

00:17:02.180 Well, John's not going to stop it, Mr. President.

00:17:04.280 He's not going to bring it up.

00:17:05.200 Yesterday, he's fumbling around about the filibuster, standing filibuster.

00:17:10.340 So we're going to have to do it an alternative way.

00:17:12.680 And I think the way the president and other advisors are talking to him and people inside

00:17:16.580 the White House and the government, I think it's a smart way to go.

00:17:20.520 Sam Faddis, continue on Connick.

00:17:22.420 But you give me a minute on Connick.

00:17:25.060 But you do agree.

00:17:25.900 And the patriots up in Pennsylvania you guys work with, the mail-in ballot, the double envelopes,

00:17:30.760 they throw them away.

00:17:31.460 No signature verification.

00:17:33.140 We went to bed that night.

00:17:34.240 Trump was up 800,000 votes and lost.

00:17:36.620 Come on, man.

00:17:37.440 It's in your face. 0.98

00:17:39.820 And it's too ridiculous to even think about that they didn't steal it. 0.90

00:17:44.400 They stole the 2020 election in Wisconsin, in Michigan, in Pennsylvania, in Georgia,

00:17:50.920 in Maricopa County.

00:17:51.820 And we can prove it.

00:17:52.800 And we're going to prove it.

00:17:53.980 And that's why you need this executive order.

00:17:56.800 The main issue, you know, Nicole Wallace should understand.

00:17:58.840 We are never, ever again going to allow you people to do what you did in November of 2020.

00:18:08.140 It's not going to happen.

00:18:09.260 And you can cry and whine and throw your toys out of the pram.

00:18:12.800 We don't care. 0.99

00:18:14.220 We're not going to let this country go back and be stolen again by a bunch of crooks, 0.99

00:18:20.140 criminals, and traitors that did it in 2020. 0.98

00:18:23.000 Sam Faddis. 0.82

00:18:23.580 Yeah, well, amen.

00:18:26.580 I mean, that is a precise description of where we are.

00:18:31.160 And all of this nonsense about the most secure election in American history is just that

00:18:36.760 nonsensical.

00:18:38.060 It's a lie.

00:18:40.200 Back to Connick.

00:18:41.160 Look, Chinese company, direct ties to United Front.

00:18:44.560 The guy who runs the company was indicted out in California.

00:18:50.800 And then, of course, the Biden administration steps in.

00:18:53.600 The indictment goes away.

00:18:55.460 They ultimately gave this guy $5 million because his feelings were hurt in settling a civil suit.

00:19:01.540 And last I heard, he's working out in Malaysia, pulling down big money.

00:19:05.180 The Biden administration crushed the whole thing, did nothing.

00:19:08.820 Connick is still in business.

00:19:09.960 And look, Connick, just to be clear, Connick software, people want to try to minimize the

00:19:18.280 impact or the value of what the Chinese could get from this because they talk about it gives

00:19:23.900 identities of poll workers and so forth, which is bad enough.

00:19:27.580 But also, Connick software, and I'm looking at my phone because I'm confirming these details

00:19:33.080 with experts this morning, Connick software stores passwords on all equipment, all voting

00:19:41.520 equipment.

00:19:42.240 That means voting machines.

00:19:44.160 Connick direct access to voter records, ran software to support poll pads, tablets, all

00:19:50.500 of this.

00:19:51.240 These are the crown jewels in the possession of a company directly tied to Chinese intelligence.

00:19:57.860 We knew this years ago, we have done nothing, absolutely nothing. 0.96

00:20:05.920 Disgusting. 0.86

00:20:06.520 The hole is wide open. 0.96

00:20:09.240 What they did do was put the True the Vote team into jail in Texas.

00:20:13.920 Remember that?

00:20:15.520 They put them in jail in Texas.

00:20:17.500 Took Catherine and Greg and put them in jail because they asked them, how did you find out

00:20:24.860 about this, and demanded they give up the name of their source, and when they quite rightly

00:20:29.680 said, we're not telling you, they were the ones sent to jail for blowing the whistle and

00:20:35.680 trying to defend democracy while this guy working for Chinese intel skated.

00:20:40.140 Either they're going to break you financially or put you in jail.

00:20:43.740 This is what George is about.

00:20:45.580 Catherine Engelbrecht went to some high-security woman's prison, right? 0.99

00:20:49.160 They gave her bread and water for 30 days.

00:20:50.840 They tried to torture those people there, Greg Phillips, for exposing the truth.

00:20:55.440 They threw them in solitary, yes.

00:20:56.740 They threw them in solitary, disgust, they're revolting.

00:20:59.220 These people are playing smash-out, and if they steal it again, folks, it's going to

00:21:02.820 be worse.

00:21:05.420 Jim Hoff.

00:21:06.180 Hang on, Sam.

00:21:07.000 We're coming back to you.

00:21:07.860 Jim Hoff, Michigan.

00:21:09.920 Patty Murray's going to walk me through some details, but first off, I want to give you,

00:21:13.040 Joe's been on a couple times, I want to give you a shout-out.

00:21:15.240 If it had not been for Gateway Pundit and not been you standing in the breach and you're

00:21:19.740 very self-effacing, you never talk about yourself, you never promote yourself, you never brag.

00:21:24.360 If we didn't have Gateway Pundit, we would not be here today with the potential executive

00:21:28.380 order and everything we're uncovering in all these states, particularly in Georgia, where

00:21:31.600 they try to bankrupt you and throw you in prison.

00:21:35.740 This executive order, as you see it coming together, we're going to get to Michigan in

00:21:38.800 a second.

00:21:39.540 We've needed this forever.

00:21:41.100 It's time now to do it.

00:21:42.460 Jim Hoff, your thoughts?

00:21:43.460 I think Peter Tickkin, the attorney behind this, is 100% on the right track.

00:21:51.260 It needs to be done.

00:21:52.140 It needs to be done now because you know the left is going to bring this to court.

00:21:56.540 And you can tell that they're pretty worried about it by the way they were talking this

00:22:01.400 morning.

00:22:02.340 And they should be because this will break them and it will allow us to have a fair election.

00:22:11.820 Democrats won't have all those devices where they can cheat in different areas like they

00:22:17.940 did for how many years now?

00:22:21.280 Yeah, it's got to stop.

00:22:22.200 By the way, Peter Tickkin will be at the top of the show tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock.

00:22:27.040 Peter is the one, I think, with the overall vision of how this thing is being pulled together.

00:22:31.300 So Peter Tickkin, you know him being Tina Peters' lawyer and the one that got Tina Peters a

00:22:35.820 pardon by the president of the United States.

00:22:37.440 That has not been executed on by the governor of Colorado.

00:22:40.440 Let's bring in Patty Murray. 1.00

00:22:41.740 Patty, talk to me about Michigan.

00:22:43.460 This is another thing.

00:22:44.060 Not as the Gateway Pundit had been the kind of foundational print publication to keep everything

00:22:50.660 going along and break these stories.

00:22:53.460 But in Michigan particularly, you guys, I think, have gotten to the basis of tons of the fraud

00:22:58.780 there because people kind of forget about Michigan and Wisconsin.

00:23:01.860 They're two festering sores.

00:23:03.260 So not just Georgia, Arizona, and Pennsylvania, it's Michigan and Wisconsin.

00:23:07.540 Or hell, they're trying to throw Troopas.

00:23:09.720 They got him up for 11 felonies, trying to put him and Judge Troopas in jail for 75 years.

00:23:16.260 Patty Murray, talk to me about Michigan.

00:23:19.920 Yeah, so I think you saw the report that came out yesterday on the Gateway Pundit.

00:23:24.900 We have a team of leading election integrity experts who are working on pouring through

00:23:33.360 almost a million documents that were FOIA'd by Yehuda Miller.

00:23:37.800 Actually, the FOIA was rejected, and he had to sue the city of Detroit for the documents.

00:23:42.280 So we have all the documents.

00:23:44.100 We have all the ballot envelopes, absentee ballot envelopes, the applications.

00:23:48.100 We have all the ballots, the tapes.

00:23:51.280 We have everything from the 2020 election in Detroit, which nobody thought we would ever get.

00:23:56.560 The findings that we're making are just incredible.

00:23:59.440 We have over, right now, 100, and we have 200 volunteers signed up to pour through these documents.

00:24:06.700 What you're looking at on the screen is an absentee ballot envelope.

00:24:11.880 And what's important to note about this is that on the right where it says sign here,

00:24:19.080 a ballot cannot be counted unless that's signed.

00:24:22.280 It doesn't have to be dated, but it has to be signed.

00:24:24.900 This particular envelope is not signed.

00:24:27.980 And to the left of that is an area where the official city clerk stamp should go

00:24:32.820 that shows when this envelope was received.

00:24:35.320 It's also missing that.

00:24:36.920 Underneath, in the for clerks use only section,

00:24:39.320 you can see that a ballot number was assigned to this voter.

00:24:42.320 We have redacted his name.

00:24:44.240 We have the name, and we know who it is.

00:24:46.120 We've looked it up.

00:24:47.460 And that absentee ballot was indeed counted.

00:24:51.000 So no name or no signature, which is required in order for the ballot to be counted,

00:24:57.020 says clearly on the envelope it needs to be signed,

00:25:00.140 and no official stamp of when the ballot could have been received the day after the election.

00:25:05.160 We don't know.

00:25:05.780 So we do know because of the Gateway Pundit reporting that a white van did deliver tens

00:25:11.700 of thousands of ballots to the TCF Center in Detroit that morning after the election.

00:25:17.900 So who knows?

00:25:19.080 This could have been part of that dump.

00:25:20.540 But what I can tell you is that we're finding a lot, just with the ballot envelope investigation

00:25:27.000 that we've done so far, the things that we're finding are just crazy.

00:25:30.220 The lessons here, folks, for your agency is that, you know, Caroline Jeffers and Garland

00:25:36.860 Favarito and Sally Grubbs and Jason Frazier and all these heroes and patriots, Harry McDougal,

00:25:41.940 all of them in Georgia have been working and have not quit in six years.

00:25:46.780 The lesson for Michigan is the Gateway Pundit and Patty Murray and now 200 volunteers are not going to quit.

00:25:55.380 This is this kind of American cussedness. 0.89

00:25:58.420 They know this thing was stolen and they're not going to quit.

00:26:01.140 And the mainstream media is against them, all the big money in the Democratic Party.

00:26:04.700 The Republican establishment wants to go.

00:26:06.500 Do you have any, have you gotten any help from the Republican establishment in Michigan on your journey, Patty?

00:26:13.040 I will say that we have an incredible election integrity chair in the state legislature, Representative Rochelle Smith,

00:26:23.140 and she's been very receptive to our information.

00:26:26.060 We've been sharing our findings with her and they have been insisting that the government do more to help us in Michigan

00:26:32.760 with the findings that we've put forward on the Gateway Pundit.

00:26:37.740 I just want to mention, Check My Vote, which is an incredible organization that was founded by, at the time,

00:26:44.820 a non-American citizen who has recently become an American citizen, founding Mantravati,

00:26:49.360 is really one of the key figures in this investigation.

00:26:52.860 And I did put up a give, send, go on the article that I wrote yesterday because we are looking for help to fund this project

00:26:59.840 because it's an enormously large project that requires a lot of people, experts, that are taking time away from their day jobs.

00:27:08.840 This is an all-volunteer project at this point.

00:27:11.960 So we are looking for some help with this project because it's massive.

00:27:15.160 It's a massive undertaking.

00:27:16.640 And our goal is to complete this project before the next election because, as you know,

00:27:21.000 Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson is running as the Democrat candidate for governor in Michigan,

00:27:25.400 and she will be facilitating her own election.

00:27:29.040 Real quickly, I want you to hang it up.

00:27:30.400 So we need to take care of this.

00:27:32.180 We're going to put the gifts and go up.

00:27:34.700 It's a little pleasure out there, Rayne.

00:27:35.760 Grace and Moe.

00:27:36.380 Real quickly, just, I'm going to hold you through.

00:27:38.800 Is your, I tell you what, I'm going to wait and do it on the other side.

00:27:43.940 Too important a question to jam in there.

00:29:51.400 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

00:29:56.700 Patty, any other things that the audience should have top of mind that you found, ma'am?

00:30:01.660 Yeah, I also wanted to point out that we have, of the ballots that we've gone through so far,

00:30:08.660 we've gone through 84,000 of them, 36% of those ballot envelopes that we've gone through

00:30:15.800 have been dated by the voter and received by the city clerk on the same day.

00:30:22.820 I want to remind everybody that these ballots were being mailed out during COVID,

00:30:26.480 and Senator Gary Peters was making a lot of noise at that time because he was furious

00:30:32.000 that the Detroit Post Office was so slow and was concerned about.

00:30:37.240 So that's a physical impossibility.

00:30:39.540 So what you're saying is 36% of the ones you found already can't be certified or non-certifiable, correct?

00:30:46.780 Well, it's an interesting, probably completely non-possible fact that we've discovered. 0.57

00:30:54.400 It looks like just a ridiculous statistic, 36% during COVID is ridiculous.

00:31:01.900 There's so much more that's going to come out. 0.87

00:31:03.200 We'll get to all that later.

00:31:05.920 I got Garland Fabri is going to join us here in a moment.

00:31:08.640 Do you believe you have the same level of evidence, let's call it, that cash for tell,

00:31:16.240 the ballots, the tapes, everything that Georgia had to raise,

00:31:19.200 do you believe you were able to get it through these four requests,

00:31:21.320 that you have the equivalent of what Georgia's got and now the federal government,

00:31:25.620 that they're fighting in court, that the traitors and crooks down in Georgia and Fulton County

00:31:30.760 are fighting in court to get back, ma'am?

00:31:33.280 Yes, we do.

00:31:34.920 We have almost a million documents.

00:31:36.720 We have hard copies that are in storage,

00:31:38.300 and we also have digital files that our volunteers are working with

00:31:42.160 and that we're working with currently.

00:31:43.780 But yes, we do have what Georgia has.

00:31:45.400 Amazing. Hang on for a second.

00:31:48.860 Jim Hoft, obviously, we want to get as much help to you guys as possible, right?

00:31:54.440 So where do people go?

00:31:55.580 Because Michigan is now back at the forefront, just like Georgia. 0.71

00:31:58.900 And people are jacked, I can tell you.

00:32:00.920 And the president said in the State of the Union,

00:32:06.900 what we say here in the worm all the time,

00:32:08.840 if the Democrats can't steal it, they can't win.

00:32:11.340 I hate to be that blunt, and I know the president hates to be that blunt,

00:32:14.840 but that's just reality, and we've seen it all over.

00:32:17.720 So where do people go, Jim, to follow this, what you're doing on Gateway Pundit,

00:32:24.300 and also to help out and assist either through volunteer or throwing some cash to people?

00:32:28.400 Where do they go?

00:32:30.160 So we have a Gifts in Gold listed at Gateway Pundit under Patty's article from yesterday.

00:32:36.160 They've already received $10,000, but they could certainly use any help from anybody out there.

00:32:42.740 This has taken a lot of hours for people putting in, you know, 60 hours a week working on this.

00:32:49.880 So that would be helpful.

00:32:51.240 And also there's Patty McMurray.

00:32:53.180 You can reach out to Patty, and she can direct you to the organization that can use your help right now.

00:32:59.700 Fantastic, and of course, you were the backbone of exposing the fraud down in Georgia.

00:33:07.320 Where do they go to get you, Gateway Pundit, and where do they go for your social media, sir?

00:33:11.800 Yeah, so it's thegatewaypundit.com, and we're on Getter and Twitter and X and Facebook

00:33:18.980 and all of the social media outlets.

00:33:22.920 Your patron hero, Patty Murray, where do people go?

00:33:26.260 I know there's going to be extreme interest now coming off this hit.

00:33:28.940 Where do people go to find out more about your work or what you're doing in Michigan right now?

00:33:34.700 They can find my work at the Gateway Pundit because I'll be posting all articles exclusively,

00:33:40.960 all of our findings on the Gateway Pundit.

00:33:43.260 And also I'm on Twitter at PattyLovesTruth.

00:33:48.520 Fabulous job, Patty. 0.99

00:33:49.900 There it is.

00:33:50.980 Many years of grinding.

00:33:53.460 That's why these people are patriots.

00:33:54.760 They didn't quit.

00:33:56.140 And now you're seeing the fruits of the—by their fruits, ye shall know them.

00:34:00.920 That's these patriots right now.

00:34:02.440 Garland Favarito, you stood in the breach and fought the fight.

00:34:06.580 Your thoughts when you received the article in The Washington Post, in NBC News,

00:34:10.820 and now Daily Mail puts up a summary that the president's just had a belly full of this.

00:34:15.360 The Senate's not going to move.

00:34:16.400 They're not going to move.

00:34:17.080 He's not going to dance around this.

00:34:18.240 He's looking to put together an executive order.

00:34:20.840 We will have Peter Tickton, will lead—Tina Peters' lawyer got her the federal pardon,

00:34:26.620 is also one of the advisors, consultants on this, and he will join us tomorrow at 10 a.m.

00:34:33.380 Garland Favarito, given what you know about Georgia and your fight in Georgia,

00:34:37.940 is the president justified in moving forward with an executive order that almost puts us

00:34:42.380 at the level of a—that he could call for a national emergency about free and fair elections, sir?

00:34:46.280 Absolutely, Steve, and we're really—I'm thrilled with it.

00:34:51.760 There's a couple of things.

00:34:53.000 If you look at Georgia, there's—you can see what happened.

00:34:56.820 Basically, we know from the FBI search one we talked about on your show the other day

00:35:01.540 that there were counterfeit ballots.

00:35:04.560 There's all kinds of fraud going on, and that happened nationally.

00:35:09.440 We know in all five of the battleground states.

00:35:11.820 The other thing that we haven't talked about so much yet is that, based on the FBI search

00:35:17.420 point, there is extreme suspicion of electronic manipulation of the results.

00:35:23.020 It appears that what Fulton County did was to try to backfill the results to make sure

00:35:27.820 that everything added up after the certification deadline.

00:35:31.780 So those things—the reason for that is the electronic voting.

00:35:35.180 The other thing that we have learned since then, which justifies an emergency on both the issue

00:35:44.120 of fraudulent ballots and electronic voting, is that the forensic work conducted on a system

00:35:51.600 here in Georgia, and we found that there were 3,000 program files modified after the system

00:35:58.500 was installed, and it had a compiler on it that would allow basically remote access to have the system

00:36:08.140 malware distributed all throughout the counties.

00:36:11.160 So we really need to stop mail-in voting, and we need to get rid of the machines.

00:36:16.720 Let's do publicly recorded hand counts and hand-marked paper ballots.

00:36:21.100 That solves the security risk.

00:36:23.880 Nobody can hack a piece of paper.

00:36:26.300 And then we also have to clamp down on the potential fraud coming in via mail, and that

00:36:33.680 can be solved by just simply having a designated deliverer.

00:36:37.400 Instead of mailing your ballot in, a designated deliverer.

00:36:40.820 Deliver that ballot and show an ID when you deliver it.

00:36:44.860 But those would just solve this national security crisis that we are in.

00:36:52.920 Garland, where do people get you?

00:36:54.780 And was it Vote GA?

00:36:56.340 Where do they go to find out more about your work and if they want to contribute?

00:36:59.440 Folks, these are all volunteer efforts.

00:37:01.160 That's the thing you have to understand.

00:37:02.860 This is all volunteer.

00:37:04.480 And the Republican Party said, yes, this helps some in Michigan by having somebody saying

00:37:09.320 they, the Republican Party essentially fought them in Georgia, fighting them in Arizona,

00:37:13.860 right, fight them, ask Sam Fettis, fighting them in Pennsylvania.

00:37:17.480 So where do they go to get more information?

00:37:19.160 And if they want to support your effort, where do they go?

00:37:22.640 Thank you, Steve.

00:37:23.540 Yeah, and we got some help from the Georgia GOP, but the RNC was really not helpful at

00:37:27.640 all for the most part.

00:37:29.020 But it's VoterGA.org, and we are an all-volunteer organization.

00:37:34.620 As you said, we don't take salaries.

00:37:36.720 You know, we're doing this.

00:37:37.940 Both my wife and I are retired, and we have a whole bevy of volunteers, and you have had many

00:37:42.740 of them on your show.

00:37:44.820 And so the donations are tax-deductible on top of that.

00:37:49.700 So we greatly appreciate you and all the listeners out there who have helped us out through this

00:37:55.720 crisis.

00:37:56.400 We really are thankful to War Room Posse.

00:37:59.520 With all the, you guys are giants.

00:38:02.080 If it hadn't been for you in Pennsylvania, if it hadn't been Sam's team, they got all these

00:38:05.720 folks up in Pennsylvania.

00:38:07.420 You got them in Arizona.

00:38:08.560 You got them in Michigan.

00:38:09.380 You got them in Georgia.

00:38:10.040 And now the fruits are coming to bear.

00:38:12.020 And this is why it's going to only get tougher.

00:38:14.060 Every night on TV now on MSNBC, they're demonizing this team.

00:38:17.640 Garland, thank you so much.

00:38:18.820 Appreciate you.

00:38:21.900 Sam Faddis, closing thoughts on Pennsylvania, on the president's executive order that people

00:38:28.140 are working on.

00:38:29.340 You're an intelligence guy.

00:38:31.820 We now, we're going to have the Chinese on here in a minute.

00:38:33.560 The folks from New Federal State to talk about the CCP.

00:38:37.920 Is the president justified in working on this executive order now, sir?

00:38:42.800 Yeah, without question.

00:38:43.920 And there is no alternative, Steve.

00:38:45.500 I can tell you, because we're just talking about the GOP.

00:38:48.300 There is no establishment move of any kind to fix any of these problems that have been

00:38:55.520 documented for years.

00:38:57.760 Nothing.

00:38:58.420 Not the slightest ripple of movement.

00:39:01.260 So you're either going to have the same debacle in the next election, or the president's going

00:39:06.260 to move.

00:39:08.740 Sam, I hate to have you do double duty, but can you give me a minute or two on your, I

00:39:12.620 know you got tons of information on Cuba, and so does Neil McKay, but we'll have to get

00:39:15.640 to that hopefully tomorrow.

00:39:16.860 Your thoughts now as the winds of war are blowing through Geneva, Vienna, Tehran, Jerusalem,

00:39:25.060 in Washington, D.C., sir?

00:39:29.120 Caution.

00:39:30.260 I am very, look, everybody knows I've worked against the Ayatollahs for a big chunk of my

00:39:35.620 life.

00:39:36.320 They're monsters, and it will be a great and glorious day when there's a free Iran. 1.00

00:39:40.740 I am really hesitant about this idea that we are going to bomb Iran, and then the regime 0.94

00:39:50.000 will collapse, and something wonderful will replace it.

00:39:53.360 I don't see the plan.

00:39:55.220 I don't think this is a long-term strategy.

00:39:58.360 I am really, really hesitant, and quite frankly, really concerned that we're about to do something

00:40:03.600 that the Israelis are pushing us to do for their own reasons, and our interests do not 0.72

00:40:10.000 necessarily always align.

00:40:12.960 Sam Faddis, where do people go to get Ann Magazine and your Substack and all your social

00:40:18.260 media?

00:40:18.520 Go to andmagazinesubstack, andmagazine.substack.com.

00:40:25.260 Thank you, sir.

00:40:25.900 I appreciate you, and thank you for taking the time this morning.

00:40:28.920 Brian Glenn, Corpus Christi, you're a Texan.

00:40:32.380 You're down in Corpus Christi.

00:40:33.480 Tell us about it.

00:40:34.880 All right.

00:40:35.320 Good.

00:40:35.460 I should say good morning, Steve.

00:40:37.620 I'm just off the sound here, the bay here in Corpus Christi.

00:40:41.520 Back behind me, you'll see the USS Lexington.

00:40:44.840 That's kind of a fixture here in this area.

00:40:47.480 And beyond that is where the event will take place a little bit later today.

00:40:52.600 3.30, President Trump delivering a speech there at the port of Corpus Christi talking

00:40:57.700 about energy.

00:40:59.480 And, of course, Steve, you know this part of Texas, the Corpus Christi area, huge LNG

00:41:04.440 terminal here, really up and down the Texas coast.

00:41:07.260 I'll walk out here for a little bit as I can kind of take you on a guide.

00:41:10.660 Now, the backdrop for the rally today is two taker ships in this port.

00:41:16.660 So you've got a beautiful imagery of the oil takers behind us and, of course, all of 0.99

00:41:21.720 the trucks surrounding that to transport a lot of this liquid gas and the oil to various

00:41:27.200 locations in Texas.

00:41:28.540 Big stop here.

00:41:29.760 But, Steve, as we were talking about earlier, it comes down to Tuesday on this big primary

00:41:35.080 here in Texas, President Trump choosing at this point not to pick anybody in that heated

00:41:40.760 Senate Texas race.

00:41:42.120 We don't necessarily right now have a favorite as far as him endorsing, but a big day here

00:41:47.820 in Texas, and it will decide a lot coming up in November.

00:41:51.800 Brian, he's down in South Texas because if Virginia goes 10-1.

00:41:57.200 Those seats that this audience fought so hard for and the folks in Texas fought so hard

00:42:01.080 for, the five new seats, I think three of them are in South Texas, the entire direction

00:42:08.040 of the country could come down to those seats.

00:42:10.000 Am I correct on that?

00:42:12.180 You are.

00:42:12.580 You're absolutely correct.

00:42:14.760 And, of course, there's a lot of the border, obviously, just not too far from where we're

00:42:19.460 at.

00:42:19.540 Let me turn around just from an optic standpoint here for the sun and glare.

00:42:24.940 A lot's decided on November as far as the control of the House.

00:42:28.580 We have a very slim margin now.

00:42:32.320 That could be shifted in November.

00:42:34.300 And, of course, Democrats are kind of their mantra, Steve.

00:42:38.040 And as we know, it's not really dealing with the economy, dealing with foreign policy.

00:42:41.540 It's just stop Trump.

00:42:43.600 And I don't think voters are going to listen to that as they know the economy has turned

00:42:47.560 around.

00:42:47.860 They know the inflation is lower.

00:42:49.580 That's the reason why he's here in the energy corridor here in Texas.

00:42:54.080 You've got to come up with a different message because right now it's not working.

00:42:57.340 Republicans are focusing on economy.

00:42:59.300 But we do have another story that seems like it's not getting enough attention, at least

00:43:04.260 from the president.

00:43:05.020 And that is a situation in Iran as we were talking offline.

00:43:09.000 That could also be a major story here in a week.

00:43:12.820 I don't think we have any kinetic strike before Tuesday, before any kind of election primary

00:43:17.340 here, especially here in Texas and across country.

00:43:20.020 But we could be a week out with some type of engagement.

00:43:24.240 Hang on.

00:43:24.560 I want to hold you through the break if I can, if your battery holds up, because I want

00:43:27.520 to talk about this very instance.

00:43:30.460 Last day, it's the 27th of February.

00:43:33.300 Go to birchgold.com, promo code Bannon.

00:43:36.740 Talk to Philip Patrick and the team.

00:43:38.820 The end of the dollar empire, the Patriots edition.

00:43:41.920 For a qualifying purchase, by closing business today, you can make, you can get a free edition.

00:43:48.540 And it's worth printing.

00:43:50.500 Listen, folks, I want to tell you about this particular pharmacy because they're actually

00:43:55.020 doing things right now for the American people.

00:43:58.260 They're the real deal, not another corporate chain.

00:44:02.240 If you're tired of fighting a broken system or begging for prescriptions, you need all family

00:44:07.400 pharmacy.

00:44:08.400 When someone in your house gets sick at 2 a.m. and the pharmacies close, you need all family

00:44:13.800 pharmacy.

00:44:16.740 If your doctor refuses to prescribe ivermectin after everything we've seen, you need all family

00:44:22.700 pharmacy.

00:44:23.160 This is a real American family business with licensed doctors, fast shipping, and the meds

00:44:29.340 families rely on.

00:44:32.620 It's simple.

00:44:33.740 Place the order online.

00:44:35.160 The doctor reviews it and your meds arrive in a few days.

00:44:39.340 War Room listeners keep saying how smooth the process is and how much they love this, how

00:44:45.580 grateful they are to finally have a pharmacy that gets them.

00:44:48.400 These folks at all family pharmacy are breaking the control of these big pharmaceutical distribution

00:44:55.860 systems.

00:45:16.600 Here's your host, Stephen K.

00:45:18.640 Bannon.

00:45:19.560 OK, before we go back to Corpus Christi, let's go to the White House.

00:45:22.360 We have Neil McCabe.

00:45:23.100 Neil.

00:45:23.420 Now, I know Sam Fettis and you and you just work on on the Cuba situation.

00:45:27.100 We're going to get to that later this afternoon when we do the Corpus Christi coverage or tomorrow.

00:45:30.860 Right now, the issue is Iran.

00:45:35.680 I know people at the White House all over D.C. working, obviously, CENTCOM, etc.

00:45:39.920 What are you hearing, sir?

00:45:43.320 Well, I think it's important to realize that you have a third of the Navy in place.

00:45:47.880 USS Gerald R.

00:45:49.280 Ford has left Crete and is now moving to position.

00:45:53.080 I was hearing that it was going to be at the exit of the Suez Canal.

00:45:56.620 Now they're saying that it will be off the coast of Israel and its responsibility would be to defend military assets and allied assets if there is an attack that is launched by USS Abraham Lincoln.

00:46:09.320 There is one complication.

00:46:11.220 There's Operation Spartan Shield, which is the rotational infantry element that Central Command has in the Middle East.

00:46:19.160 That rotation with the 42nd Infantry Division, which is New York National Guard, they chop over to the 36th, which is Texas National Guard.

00:46:28.880 That's going to be late March, early April.

00:46:31.500 And so I don't know if you want to do a change of command in the middle of a military operation.

00:46:38.380 Also, Steve, I want to point out that this is unlike the Venezuelan operation.

00:46:42.600 It is modeled on Operation Roughrider, which was a year ago from March to May against the Houthis.

00:46:49.820 And so there really isn't a boots on the ground element to this.

00:46:53.140 In Operation Roughrider, they over between March and May, they attacked more than 800 military targets.

00:47:00.100 So that's pretty much what we're looking at.

00:47:02.520 I'm not really looking at boots on the ground, but there is that complication of the 42nd switching out to the 36th.

00:47:08.840 What do you have any indication now that they're supposed to meet in Vienna again?

00:47:14.040 And, of course, the Persians have this way of negotiating the next meeting in the sides of the table, although we did hear that there are direct – they're not passing those through the Omanis anymore.

00:47:25.060 They're actually talking – Kushner and Witkoff, Jared and Steve are actually talking face-to-face.

00:47:30.840 Is there any sense that they'll think this through through the Tuesday primary and let them meet in Vienna, I think, on Wednesday, Monday or Wednesday, and let this thing see how it progresses?

00:47:43.340 Is the president tired of this now, thinks he's being jerked around by the Ayatollah and the mullahs and it's time for some coercive diplomacy?

00:47:50.460 The way I hear it is that until everything is in place the way the Pentagon wants it, they can talk all day and all night.

00:48:02.040 Once things are in place, it has to be a go because too much has been spent and too much has been put into place.

00:48:08.900 And so it's almost like we can't do all of this and not throw the party.

00:48:14.280 And I think that's basically what the race is.

00:48:16.740 Who are you – hang on, hang on, hold on, hold on, who are you hearing that from?

00:48:20.580 You're saying that we would be driven by putting the assets in place?

00:48:23.900 Have you actually heard that?

00:48:24.960 Because what's coming out of the Pentagon, at least what's been reported – now it has been denied, but it's been reported pretty substantially –

00:48:31.980 that Raisin Cain and the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the combatant commanders are saying,

00:48:37.860 hey, understand, this is not like – this is not going to be like Venezuela.

00:48:41.600 It's not going to be like the total obliteration of the June launch.

00:48:46.380 This is – they've got so many targets, a massive army that were going to hit even ballistic missiles.

00:48:52.460 It's going to take a while.

00:48:53.380 This is not a one and done.

00:48:55.660 Sir.

00:48:56.600 The way it was explained to me – the way it was explained to me by someone at the Pentagon was that every – the pieces are being put in place.

00:49:05.820 And that's why I talk about, you know, is the fuel in place?

00:49:08.440 Are the Patriot missile batteries now in place?

00:49:11.040 Is the Gerald R. Ford in place?

00:49:13.040 Also, you have the complication of Diego Garcia because that's where our long-range bombers are.

00:49:19.280 If Diego Garcia is settled, that also is something that is in place.

00:49:24.140 It also brings up the Greenland problem, right?

00:49:26.540 You want to be a landlord, not a tenant, and these countries have to give us permission to use the assets that are based there.

00:49:34.000 Unbelievable.

00:49:34.880 Neil, what's your social media so people can follow you through the day?

00:49:38.080 You'll be breaking news throughout the day on this topic.

00:49:40.380 I think Huckabee told – Ambassador Huckabee told the embassy staff in Israel, if you want to leave, today's the day to leave.

00:49:48.620 What's your social media, sir?

00:49:49.820 You can find me on all the socials at Reporter McCabe, Steve.

00:49:56.240 Thanks, Neil.

00:49:57.160 We'll come back to you this afternoon.

00:49:58.800 Brian, we're going to come back to you this afternoon because you're covering Corpus Christi for us.

00:50:04.860 The rally there.

00:50:05.960 Also, President Trump is going to do some other stops.

00:50:08.480 Talk to me about the situation in Iran.

00:50:11.180 You just mentioned it the other – here.

00:50:13.060 In Texas, people are getting turned off, I think, the MAGA base by the negativity of this campaign.

00:50:21.760 Cornyn spent, I don't know, $80 million, it's rumored, or outside sources for him.

00:50:25.860 Not on any positive note.

00:50:27.400 I mean, they have said – made some comment about the Sharia law.

00:50:31.200 But it's really about just a beatdown on Paxton and a beatdown on Wesley Hunt, who's a combat Apache helicopter pilot, West Point grad, on the board at West Point with Mo.

00:50:40.840 So he's getting beaten down every day.

00:50:43.580 Your thoughts on this race and the thoughts on what – how would a Ron strike play into this?

00:50:50.580 Well, you know, Cornyn is spending the money on that narrative because he doesn't have any other narrative to spend it on.

00:50:57.020 He can't talk about the good things he's done.

00:50:59.200 He's been one of these establishment country club Republicans, and we all know this.

00:51:03.480 The MAGA base knows that.

00:51:05.740 The war room posse knows this.

00:51:07.380 And so that's what he's trying to do.

00:51:09.340 But the posse in the MAGA base knows what a fighter Ken Paxton has been, not only for Texas, but really for the nation in filing lots of lawsuits against the Biden administration during the border and even as far as securing our elections.

00:51:23.100 Now, as far as Wesley Hunt, great congressman.

00:51:25.580 I'm very familiar with his district, West Houston, Katy District, the Energy Corridor, as you mentioned, a veteran.

00:51:33.520 A lot of respect for him.

00:51:34.660 I don't know if that's enough to get him back over Ken Paxton.

00:51:38.860 But in terms of a kinetic strike with Iran during this whole – the election process, I don't think we see it before Tuesday.

00:51:49.100 I just don't.

00:51:49.860 I don't think we saw it before the State of the Union for sure because then that would overshadow his messaging about the economy.

00:51:55.200 I don't think we see it before Tuesday.

00:51:57.160 But after Tuesday, Steve, I think by looks of what Huckabee has said and other people have said, it could be a kinetic strike within a week or so.

00:52:06.340 Brian, we're going to be back live all day, Real America's Voice.

00:52:09.620 We're going to be back here at 5 Eastern time, have you on the show.

00:52:12.140 President will be speaking.

00:53:19.720 Now is the time to resolve your tax matters.

00:53:22.840 With the national conversation around abolishing the income tax, the IRS is fighting back and proving it's here to stay by becoming more aggressive than ever before.

00:53:34.300 They're sending out more collection notices, filing more tax liens, and collecting billions more in recent years.

00:53:41.980 If you owe, the IRS can garnish your wages, levy your bank accounts, seize your retirement, and even your home.

00:53:50.020 If you owe or haven't filed, it's not a question of if the IRS will act.
