00:00:00.000 I finally got to speak to a Cornyn supporter. Now, this is a very unofficial poll, of course,
00:00:07.580 but they were shocked that they were the only Cornyn supporter that I've been talking to,
00:00:12.180 and I've been through three counties. Now, that's very unscientific, but here's what I've been
00:00:16.800 hearing from these voters, and it's two things. One, they want a change in Washington. That's why
00:00:22.880 they want Cornyn out. And two, they say that Cornyn doesn't side with President Trump as
00:00:30.060 much as they would like. Take a listen. I'm tired of Cornyn and him bragging about being
00:00:38.580 in favor of everything. 99% of what Trump agrees to, that's not true. He does not vote
00:00:49.560 all the time. So you weren't happy with Cornyn? I'm not happy with Cornyn, no.
00:00:59.060 And Katie, here's the other sign that's not good news for Cornyn. And that is when you look at the
00:01:03.820 early voting numbers, you compare March to May. And when you look around me, there are no long
00:01:10.120 lines coming out of the building that you see behind me. We haven't seen that fervor that
00:01:13.900 from moderate Republicans or independents those are the folks that Cornyn needs to get through
00:01:19.900 the finish line here we haven't seen him here today if you are another Senate Republican
00:01:25.000 and you're looking at this does it make you more inclined to you know lash yourself closer to Trump
00:01:31.880 to make sure that he doesn't um you know knife you or or are you or are you somebody who says
00:01:38.040 effort let's be clear you're asking me all right yeah so i am in the effort category right there's
00:01:46.520 no way in hell under any circumstances if i'm a united states senator at this moment do i betray
00:01:52.980 the constitution my oath to the people to the constitution the people i serve for this president
00:01:59.320 just wouldn't as a republican it's fundamentally um does not align with my values um and if i'm
00:02:07.240 a Republican that's voting in a state like Texas, and my choice is between a John Corner,
00:02:13.300 who I had the pleasure of working with as RNC chairman. John and I had our disagreements
00:02:18.880 set from time to time, but we always worked through them because it was what was the better
00:02:23.440 thing to do for the party and for the country, not in that order, for the country and the party
00:02:28.480 in that order. And the reality of it is if your choice, if you're setting him aside for a crook,
00:02:36.580 Not my words, the words of a Texas voter and an adulterer in the biblical sense, not my words, his wife's words. 0.68
00:02:45.800 That's why she divorced him for biblical reasons.
00:02:48.980 What does it say about Republicans that they've become so degraded and so diminished from the days of Reagan and Eisenhower and Bush, 41 and even 43, that this is this is your your your guidepost?
00:03:08.720 My choice is I'm going to take the crook and the adulterer over a solid Republican who has, by the way, a 90 percent voting record with Donald Trump. 0.60
00:03:20.200 Are you kidding me? So it says there's much more than, oh, when they say he hasn't been aligned with Donald Trump, it's much more than that. 0.87
00:03:27.720 It goes deeper. Trump speaks to them in a way that surpasses this idea of policy and, you know, a party alignment.
00:03:38.180 There's something else that's deeper and visceral, and they hang their hat on that,
00:03:42.160 and that's what they're going to lose on in race after race around the country.
00:03:45.180 There's also this news from South Carolina.
00:03:47.640 The Senate down there, the state Senate down there, has denied Donald Trump's request to redistrict.
00:03:54.240 And listen to what one Republican, State Senator Richard Cash, said in a press release.
00:03:59.880 I can no longer support the passage of this bill for one simple reason.
00:04:04.000 South Carolina citizens are going to the polls today.
00:04:06.420 neither my conscience nor my common sense will allow me to stop an election that has already
00:04:11.900 begun i don't want to say it's surprising but in a moment like this when we are you know seeing
00:04:19.680 how far donald trump is able to push lawmakers to get what he wants somebody standing up for
00:04:26.480 their own conscience it stands out it does stand out and bravo to that senator and bravo to the
00:04:34.180 Senate Republicans who pushed back on this. Look, South Carolina has a torrid history on race
00:04:42.520 and voting. And a lot of those state legislators now know that they are going to be on the ballot
00:04:51.260 in this cycle and next cycle. And they're going to have to count to those voters. The African
00:04:58.220 American vote in South Carolina is not alone. People think that, oh, this is just Black folks
00:05:03.640 pissed off about voting rights. No, it is American citizens, many of whom were part of that long
00:05:10.200 struggle to get these rights secured. And so now to see not only the Supreme Court, but state
00:05:19.280 legislatures, particularly in the South, give credence to this idea of the South rising again
00:05:25.020 And what that what that means and what that sounds like to a lot of voters, it is refreshing to see this type of pushback.
00:05:32.600 Bravo. More of it, please. Thank you very much.
00:05:36.040 We need consistency in this in this moment, in the spirit, as well as the letter of what this is all about.
00:05:45.260 Tuesday, 26th May in the year of our Lord, 2026.
00:05:48.820 We're going to cover it all from South Carolina, but we're going to start in the great state of Texas.
00:05:53.220 Scott Pressless. Scott, I know you're by phone. I hope you heard the cold open where we had MSNBC.
00:05:59.980 We had gone to a number of precincts and couldn't find any Cornyn voters. Your thoughts, sir?
00:06:09.380 Yes, I heard that cold open. I think that's hilarious that she went to three counties and it was almost like a rare la chupacabra finding a Cornyn supporter out in the wild. 1.00
00:06:19.640 and after being on the ground for five hours shaking hand after hand in Collin County and yes
00:06:29.620 well it is the home of Ken Paxton we are finding a dearth of I don't think I had a single person
00:06:37.360 tell me that they were voting for Cornyn maybe they just didn't want to publicly admit it out
00:06:42.160 of shame and embarrassment for the hopeful shellacking that they are going to get tonight
00:06:48.080 but we we had everyone under the sun steve new young families even an 18 year old that is going
00:06:58.060 to start college at vanderbilt this upcoming fall moms dads grandparents people of hispanic descent
00:07:07.140 uh all stripes and creeds were coming out and while many of them had voted early they did
00:07:14.860 indeed vote for Attorney General Ken Taxton. Scott, you're very dialed into the grassroots
00:07:23.740 around the state. Have you heard anything from other places that, you know, it's always hard
00:07:30.900 in these runoffs to motivate people, and obviously moderates and rhinos are the hardest to motivate 1.00
00:07:36.180 because they think they control everything with their money. But have you heard any reports or 0.99
00:07:41.680 any inkling around the rest of the great state of texas well i want to tell you i am very dialed
00:07:49.740 in as you said to the grassroots even so much that i give my number out to these people so if
00:07:54.920 something happens wrong or fraudulently or there's a problem with the machines etc to let me know
00:08:02.260 I just got a message that handicapped machine voting is down for Republicans only at the
00:08:11.280 Kingsland Baptist Church in Katy, Texas, zip code 77450. So I've immediately pinged this to
00:08:21.000 the solicitor of Texas. I've sent this to RPT. I've sent this to RNC. And I'm hoping that we
00:08:28.180 can get this rectified because I just spoke to a daughter of a mom that was turned away
00:08:34.920 who could not vote. But that's the importance of having these lines of communication open so that
00:08:41.780 as soon as we hear things, we can immediately send it to lawyers, to legal, to the party,
00:08:48.600 and we still have three hours left to make sure that we are locking in every single vote.
00:08:55.640 as you've gone around and you've talked to people today and you said shook a lot of hands what what
00:09:01.800 is the general temperature of the grassroots or you said all these voters you've talked to except
00:09:06.900 i think for one uh were were paxton voters why are they paxton voters what is the ground truth
00:09:13.720 of what you're seeing in texas it's what you would expect from the conversations online
00:09:20.720 I'm wearing a shirt that says Save America Act. People will come up to me unsolicited and say,
00:09:29.020 Scott, your shirt says it all. And people are aware that today is day 146 that we've been
00:09:35.680 asking Senate Majority Leader Thune to pass the Save America Act. John Thune and John Cornyn
00:09:41.860 are a part of that very machine that have yet to deliver results to us despite being in office for
00:09:48.140 decades. And many people are voting for Ken Paxton and against John Cornyn because they have not
00:09:58.860 secured our elections. And that is a theme that I'm hearing over and over from voters.
00:10:07.400 Why am I going to rehire somebody for another six years when that person, i.e. John Cornyn,
00:10:16.080 has failed to secure our elections for the last 24 years. That's what I'm hearing.
00:10:25.120 Scott Pressler, you've got a book that's now up on Amazon that talks about your journey
00:10:30.100 through the country, particularly your focus on voter registration, get people to the MAGA base
00:10:37.420 to actually register as Republicans and vote in these primaries, vote in these runoffs,
00:10:42.580 and obviously vote in general elections, but get involved early and get involved intensely.
00:10:47.580 Where do people go to get the book and what's your social media?
00:10:50.680 They can follow you throughout the day and the night tonight, sir.
00:10:55.200 Thank you.
00:10:56.000 Well, I want to thank the War Room Posse because earlier today I went on your program to promote The Persistence.
00:11:02.880 That's my book, which you can find on Amazon.
00:11:05.260 And I think earlier today it was like the 18,000th book on Amazon.
00:11:11.900 But even since that interview we did very briefly, it's now the 10,000th book on Amazon.
00:11:19.920 So clearly, the War Room Fosse has been searching for the persistence.
00:11:25.020 And I just want to thank all of you for having my back.
00:11:29.260 And again, it's the power of one.
00:11:31.400 You know, you don't necessarily have to be a Steve Bannon or a Donald Trump or an Elon
00:11:36.540 Musk, but if each of us do our part in our own respective communities well, that's how we can
00:11:46.380 defeat incumbent senators like Cassidy and Cornyn and reshape American history. So today, my friends,
00:11:55.020 we are going to make history. Scott Pressler, very moving. Use your agency to become a force
00:12:01.920 multiplier. Thank you, sir. We'll check in with you later in the evening. Scott Pressler,
00:12:06.200 They're live in Texas.
00:12:08.500 Make sure you go to Amazon, check it out.
00:12:10.320 There's a guy that had an idea and actually implemented it.
00:12:14.300 We're going to get John Solomon up in a moment.
00:12:16.420 John Solomon's got breaking news out of South Carolina,
00:12:19.080 and the news out of South Carolina is not as positive,
00:12:21.900 at least early reports, of course, on days of election.
00:12:25.200 It's always, you're always getting, you know,
00:12:27.520 information that doesn't turn out right,
00:12:29.060 but Scott has been around, particularly.
00:12:31.760 It's interesting that the MSNBC crew went,
00:12:35.220 I think in three counties, they found one Cornyn voter, huge election, one of the biggest
00:12:41.560 political gambles in, I think, at least modern American political history, where General
00:12:49.140 Paxton basically said, hey, this Save America Act is so important for the republic.
00:12:55.360 It's so important for President Trump that I will step aside if John Cornyn puts his
00:13:01.400 shoulder to the wheel and works with the leader. I remember John Cornyn was the cover bid. He came
00:13:06.840 in second in the leadership contest. If he would work with the leader and bring Save America Act
00:13:13.080 up, get it passed, and make sure we do the standing filibuster, I will step aside. He did
00:13:19.860 that within a couple hour period. I've never seen a profile encouraged like that to work all your
00:13:25.120 entire life to actually be going for one of these very high offices. The most exclusive club in the
00:13:30.640 world, they say, is the United States Senate only 100 seats. I will step aside, he said,
00:13:35.320 if you will put your shoulder to the wheel. And Cornyn just gave a, you know, fairly well. This
00:13:39.600 is how unimportant they think voters are. Cornyn's sitting there going, hey, I spent $80 million. I
00:13:46.300 got another $70 or $80 I can spend. I'm crushing this guy. I won't get engaged. Well, we're going
00:13:52.040 to find it tonight if that strategy works. But it's a bold, bold, bold move. Stick around. We're
00:13:57.180 have more coverage on that.
00:13:58.620 Plus, in South Carolina, Alabama,
00:14:00.700 a three-judge panel 0.88
00:14:02.520 kind of slowed things down on redistricting.
00:14:05.600 And in South Carolina,
00:14:07.060 the South is blinking.
00:14:10.420 It's blinking.
00:14:12.420 Thursday, we're packed with
00:14:13.940 kind of high-value-added guests this week.
00:14:17.100 It's crazy.
00:14:18.180 Can't even fit everything in.
00:14:20.060 I'll explain more about that later.
00:14:22.000 But Philip Patrick's going to be here
00:14:24.360 to talk about debt, deficit,
00:14:26.480 the pressure on the dollar, the bond market, all of it.
00:14:30.100 Where can you find out everything about that?
00:14:33.040 The End of the Dollar Empire.
00:14:34.720 Go to birchgold.com slash Bannon.
00:14:38.800 Get the End of the Dollar Empire.
00:14:40.400 All eight installments are free.
00:14:43.500 Free.
00:14:44.220 Immerse yourself in this.
00:14:45.960 Most importantly, contact Philip Patrick and his team
00:14:48.640 and ask about investing in gold and precious metals
00:14:51.280 in the age of Trump, not the era of Trump, the age of Trump.
00:14:54.500 work through it find out why gold has been a hedge for 3 000 years of man the dollar's
00:15:00.580 convertibility into gold ended in 1971 gold was fixed at 35 an ounce well fast forward to today
00:15:08.940 and the u.s dollar has lost over 85 percent of its purchasing power gold on the other hand is
00:15:15.900 increased in value by over 12 000 percent that's why central banks are buying gold at record levels
00:15:23.260 That's why major firms like Vanguard and BlackRide hold significant positions in gold.
00:15:29.520 And that's why I encourage you to consider diversifying your savings with physical gold from Birch Gold Group.
00:15:36.860 But it starts with education.
00:15:38.420 Birch Gold just announced their Learn and Earn Precious Metals event.

00:15:56.960 But you must act now, as this special event only runs through April 30th.
00:16:02.280 The dollar lost its anchor in 1971.
00:16:06.360 You don't have to lose yours.
00:16:08.640 Text my name, Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, to the number 989898 to join Birch Gold's Learn and Earn Precious Metals event by April 30th.

00:16:25.080 War Room.
00:16:26.120 Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann.
00:16:31.980 Welcome back, John.
00:16:33.620 Solomon joins us getting ready for a show by phone.
00:16:36.440 John, two things.
00:16:37.400 You broke news today out of South Carolina.
00:16:39.340 Explain to folks what happened because a lot of people assumed today we were going to be getting another seat.
00:16:45.040 that Clyburn was gone and that seat was going to become available at 7-0.
00:16:50.660 That did not happen, did it, sir?
00:16:52.680 It did not.
00:16:53.820 The Carolina State Senate voted against the redistricting map,
00:16:58.380 bringing to an end at least the legislative effort to do it.
00:17:01.980 The House had already, the State House had already voted to do it,
00:17:05.800 but the Senators often, as you see in our own Senate in Washington,
00:17:09.500 they seem to have cold feet when it comes to playing hardball,
00:17:12.360 And I think, once again, they let down their own constituents.
00:17:15.680 I don't think, though, that it is the end of the road.
00:17:19.260 I think there is another card still to be played.
00:17:22.500 And I want to remind people what Harmeet Dillon said on our show a couple of weeks ago.
00:17:26.880 We're going to watch and see what the state legislatures do if there's a racially gerrymandered district.
00:17:31.840 If they don't do the right thing, we may intervene.
00:17:34.720 That's what Harmeet told us. 0.83
00:17:36.420 Now that the state legislature had a chance to get rid of this racially gerrymandered district,
00:17:41.000 This district was specifically created to create a black lawmaker, and race was used years ago to create it. 0.87
00:17:47.900 Now the Justice Department could go in and try to strike it down under the Louisiana ruling.
00:17:52.740 And so maybe the South Carolina senators don't have the courage to take a crack at it.
00:17:59.840 But I wouldn't be surprised if Harmeet Dillon and the Justice Department don't go in soon
00:18:04.500 and attack it for the very fact that it is in violation of the Supreme Court's ruling.
00:18:11.420 Three-judge panel in Alabama, I don't know if you have any insights there,
00:18:14.960 particularly about the Justice Department,
00:18:16.440 but three-judge panel in Alabama have also put that one on hold, sir.
00:18:22.020 That's going to have to go up the chain to the Supreme Court, I suspect.
00:18:26.760 Again, that's another district that one could argue
00:18:31.060 there's a history of racial gerrymandering there.
00:18:34.020 So the game is not over, even if the legislature's efforts are there.
00:18:39.840 but there are two components to this. The legislature traditionally is deemed to be the
00:18:44.580 supreme authority on redistricting. And two, if that legislature is acting in compliance with a
00:18:51.600 Supreme Court ruling, you think this would fare very well when it gets to the United States
00:18:55.480 Supreme Court. It has a couple more hops to go, but I have a funny feeling when it gets to the
00:19:00.740 U.S. Supreme Court, the legislature's will will most likely be upheld. And whether that's for 26
00:19:07.560 or 28 to be determined. There's always an issue of timing, but the fact that the district is
00:19:14.860 racially gerrymandered isn't in doubt, and I think the Supreme Court will probably come down
00:19:20.060 on the side of the legislature and the president. Speaking of the president, John, you've been all
00:19:26.300 over this Mar-a-Lago raid, a bunch of news you're breaking on just the news, your news site. What
00:19:31.640 is going on there, sir? Well, let's keep in mind what they're doing down in Fort Pierce, Florida.
00:19:36.620 They're trying to determine if what occurred the last decade when the FBI and the intelligence community and the Justice Department just kept going after Donald Trump, one scandal after another, trying to create fake scandals for code-named FBI investigations, whether that would have violated his civil rights and whether that amounted to a criminal conspiracy to violate his and others' civil liberties.
00:20:00.340 We now have two smoking gun pieces of proof about the Mar-a-Lago raid.
00:20:05.340 The first is an FBI memo that we published about two, three months ago.
00:20:10.580 In that, the FBI in Washington field office, its premier office in Washington, warned that
00:20:17.900 they did not believe they had met the standard for probable cause.
00:20:20.860 You can't get a search warrant if you don't meet the standard for probable cause.
00:20:24.960 The FBI nonetheless got that search warrant, but there is legitimate concern that they
00:20:29.880 did not meet the standard, and it was expressed openly and quite strongly in the FBI.
00:20:34.320 All right. Now comes a second memo, this one from a top advisor to Merrick Garland. That's very
00:20:40.320 important because Merrick Garland, as always said, I approved the raid on Mar-a-Lago. Well,
00:20:44.760 we now know a lawyer that he specifically kept in his employ for the full year around the Mar-a-Lago
00:20:52.200 raid. This is a 30-year career, well-decorated DOJ lawyer, someone that is deeply respected by
00:20:59.340 both Republicans and Democrats. Garland brought her out of the appellate division for her final
00:21:05.420 year before she retired and moved her into his office to weigh in on issues about the president.
00:21:10.980 As soon as she wasn't consulted about the raid on Mar-a-Lago, as soon as she heard about it,
00:21:15.720 she raised a very strong concern that the Justice Department had not considered the obvious fact
00:21:22.380 that President Trump probably declassified those documents before he took them to Mar-a-Lago. In
00:21:26.820 In fact, she wrote, I can't stop thinking about this since she learned about the raid,
00:21:30.520 showing how deeply concerned she was that the Justice Department rushed to do a raid
00:21:35.800 on a former president's home for documents that he may have legitimately been allowed to keep.
00:21:41.880 That is a smoking gun.
00:21:43.380 Had that ever gotten to trial, which it didn't, that would have been a key piece of evidence
00:21:48.100 that Donald Trump could have used to win acquittal.
00:21:50.840 But now it becomes a key piece of evidence for Joe DiGenova and the team down in Fort Pierce
00:21:56.420 because now they have proof that the Justice Department itself believed that it had jumped the gun
00:22:03.160 and maybe did an unlawful search.
00:22:05.240 You've got two now strong pieces of evidence at a really, really important moment.
00:22:10.040 Wow.
00:22:11.180 John, what is your social media?

00:22:37.140 Texas Caroline Wren
00:22:38.420 has just landed in Texas. She's
00:22:40.380 going to call us here momentarily,
00:22:42.360 get us up to date on
00:22:43.440 South Carolina, Alabama,
00:22:46.300 and what's going on in Texas, what she feels
00:22:48.360 in Texas. We've got Raheem down there.
00:22:50.700 Caroline Wren is there. Scott Pressler
00:22:52.480 is there. Coverage tonight
00:22:54.340 in Real America's Voice will be
00:22:56.260 show to show of course we got Stinch who's our Dallas guy he'll be on it uh with Stinch is on
00:23:02.000 at seven and then Studio 6b goes eight to ten so there'll be plenty of coverage and you never know
00:23:07.060 we may dip out we may dip in and out tonight as appropriate so we'll just stand by on that we've
00:23:12.960 got some great people uh down there like I said the um very hard to get information on game day
00:23:19.280 also I tell people just discount there's so many rumors flying around etc but number one I do think
00:23:25.560 We can confirm that the turnout has been relatively light, at least what spotters that we've had throughout the throughout the state are telling us a fairly light turnout.
00:23:35.720 But we have seen reports of CNN and MSNBC that have gone around by county to many precincts looking for cornered voters.
00:23:45.720 They're looking for Cornyn voters because they're looking for people to step out and talk smack about Ken Pax and talk smack about MAGA, talk smack about the grassroots, talk smack about President Trump because they're trying to pump up to Rico.
00:24:03.060 And so that's they went looking and at least if you see their news reports, they really couldn't find you really they really couldn't find people.
00:24:09.480 So they kind of came up, as you say, a little short.
00:24:13.420 we're also going to have Joe Allen. Joe Allen's going to show up, I think, here shortly. Joe
00:24:18.780 Allen got a lot to report on this artificial intelligence. A lot of this stuff, quite,
00:24:23.360 quite serious and quite disturbing, as I guess you took it from my rant this morning.
00:24:30.160 Ken Paxton, a profile in courage. First off, what Paxton did as attorney general,
00:24:36.460 as you remember, the longer term viewers of the show, when General Paxton on that first
00:24:43.100 afternoon in the five o'clock hour if you remember that that horrible horrible fake
00:24:49.900 inauguration of biden where they had the big circles drawn on the lawn outside the capital
00:24:55.280 and they had like 30 people there in mask uh at virtually empty it just felt weird it felt like
00:25:01.260 they were embarrassed they had stolen this thing and they were embarrassed and kind of be out in
00:25:05.720 the in the broad daylight we got paxton on here at five o'clock in the afternoon as our first guest
00:25:11.280 And he said as attorney general, where Biden regime sticks within the Constitution is for the good of Texas.
00:25:18.780 He will support it, whereas not he will sue.
00:25:21.920 He was already getting ready.
00:25:23.420 He had already sued.
00:25:24.220 He had already sued in federal court on the election itself.
00:25:26.680 But he went that next morning about what Biden did on the border.
00:25:31.320 Caroline Wren joins us by phone.
00:25:33.060 She just landed in Texas.
00:25:35.060 Do you have a sense of anything on this Cornyn-Paxson race, ma'am?
00:25:39.300 well i think paxton is looking very good uh you know cornyn is going around begging democrats to
00:25:46.540 vote for him that's been uh his plan and which makes sense that's his natural constituency to
00:25:51.160 be honest with you um the question will be how many democrats you know cross over it's an open
00:25:56.820 primary um caroline caroline he's he's he's it's worse than that in twitter paxton the general
00:26:04.320 came on today and we talked about this open primary, the difficulty in having Democrats.
00:26:09.340 Cornyn's gone out all day addressing that and saying, oh, it's terrible. They're trying to
00:26:13.400 suppress the vote. You know, I want as many people to vote as possible. This is a free country.
00:26:17.800 Democrats ought to be able to vote. What does that tell you about the establishment in John
00:26:21.600 Cornyn, ma'am? It also tells you about what a lie this entire campaign has been based on,
00:26:27.160 because they are saying that the Democrats will win this election if the nominee is Paxton. So
00:26:32.200 then in the same breath, they're telling Democrats to get out and vote for John Cornyn. If you
00:26:36.620 actually believed that Ken Paxton would lose a general election, you're the Democratic Party,
00:26:41.160 then you would actually flood the polls to vote for Ken Paxton. And so these are such a double
00:26:47.500 standard. It's that the Democrats know that they are going to lose this race. And so they're not
00:26:52.440 going to send all their people out to vote for Paxton. And so Cornyn is just out there begging
00:26:56.380 people that were not planning to vote in this runoff because they already have their dream
00:26:59.240 candidate in talarico begging them to come bail them out and i um you know i can't speak to what
00:27:05.000 the democratic party's going to do but i'd be very surprised if they do that uh caroline can you hang
00:27:10.700 on uh for one second we just want to go to a short break we got other questions i asked you about
00:27:14.920 texas in addition what happened in south carolina of course the three judge panel in alabama put the
00:27:20.880 brakes on the redistricting there so a lot to cover as far as redistricting go want to make sure that
00:27:25.140 everybody in preparation for Thursday. We're going to do a lot on debt and the national
00:27:33.620 deficit. Axios today had an excellent piece to start the day off, say the era of free
00:27:39.160 lunches is over. But how difficult, how increasingly difficult it's going to get to refinance the
00:27:44.740 federal debt now that we're $40 trillion. That's just the face amount of what's on the
00:27:48.200 books. I didn't even talk about the contingent liabilities of the federal government. That
00:27:53.100 is the weight on the shoulders of the United States dollar.
00:27:57.340 It's the reason that five years ago
00:27:58.800 we started writing up the end of the dollar empire 0.96
00:28:00.880 because we saw the BRICS nations coming for the dollar.
00:28:05.620 You get eight free installments online.
00:28:08.820 Birchgold.com slash Bannon.
00:28:11.920 End of the dollar empire.
00:28:12.940 Talk to Philip Patrick and the team
00:28:14.240 why gold has been a hedge
00:28:16.360 against times of financial turbulence
00:28:18.820 for, I don't know, what, 3,000 years
00:28:21.680 of man's recorded history?
00:28:22.640 Caroline War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Vann.
00:28:29.020 We're going to go back to Caroline Wren in Texas. Just landed.
00:28:33.800 So we started the show with a cold open before we went to Scott Pressler, who's out in the field.
00:28:39.620 MSNBC went through three counties, three counties, and had a report on the Katie Ter Show that said they found one Corning voter.
00:28:48.140 Now, Caroline, as you know, they go to find the Cornyn voters so they can sit there and the Cornyn voter can rip on Ken Paxson being a radical.
00:28:55.380 So it makes Tallarico look better.
00:28:57.420 They found one voter the entire day by, I think it was three o'clock in the afternoon.
00:29:03.160 One Cornyn voter, right, who I don't think wanted to come on camera.
00:29:06.780 Your thoughts, ma'am?
00:29:09.060 Well, it was probably a staffer for the Cornyn campaign.
00:29:12.220 I saw another staffer for the Cornyn campaign was complaining that he went to go vote.
00:29:16.740 He had a Cornyn sticker on and that he got heckled almost out of the line and everyone was screaming at him and yelling nasty things at him.
00:29:23.720 And I felt absolutely no remorse or bad for this guy because John Cornyn has run the nastiest campaign, truly, that I've seen in my 20 years of working in politics.
00:29:33.880 Now, Cornyn is a guy who's been the senator here for 24 years.
00:29:37.600 I don't recall him running a single ad touting his own record of what he'd done for the people of Texas.
00:29:42.140 All he did was run ads to the tune of $100 million-plus, just going scorched earth on Ken Paxton.
00:29:49.660 And Paxton is still going to win today.
00:29:51.840 And so I'm sorry that you got maybe heckled or yelled at, but people are pissed.
00:29:55.520 The people that I know in Texas, and I grew up here, they are pissed at this campaign that Cornyn ran.
00:30:00.180 They are pissed at how negative those ads are, and they are pissed at Cornyn for having a 24-year career of abandoning his voters.
00:30:06.540 And that is not going to change today and, in fact, will end today.
00:30:08.980 The fact that they had one voter who considered himself, you know, MAGA, but considered himself also kind of a mainstream Republican voter saying the exact same thing.
00:30:20.200 Say, hey, Ken – Cornyn's been saying that he's 99 – the old guy said, hey, 99 percent of the time, but he doesn't really support President Trump.
00:30:27.780 We know it down in Texas.
00:30:29.560 Caroline, I know you're on the run, but real quickly, South Carolina, what happened there?
00:30:35.280 Is that the end of the road for us, ma'am?
00:30:38.980 It is at the end of the road. It's been an uphill battle the whole time.
00:30:42.240 South Carolina, these guys, they think they're kings.
00:30:45.140 They don't care what national politics or even what President Trump thinks.
00:30:48.080 They don't care about their own voters.
00:30:49.620 And I don't understand how you could have heard what Democrats have been saying about packing the Supreme Court,
00:30:54.240 abolishing the Electoral College, adding D.C. and Puerto Rico states,
00:30:57.380 and still think that it's too much too soon to rightfully eliminate a blatantly racial gerrymandering in a Trump-plus-18 state.
00:31:05.660 And not to mention their reasoning today was that because, oh, early voting has already started.
00:31:10.640 Let me remind you that it is election day, not election month.
00:31:13.280 The South Carolina primary is not till June 9th.
00:31:15.840 So, like, why does a Republican state even allow three weeks of voting in the first place,
00:31:19.760 let alone using that as your excuse not to redistrict in the wake of the VRA decision in California?
00:31:25.740 So, you know, I'm eminently angry at South Carolina.
00:31:28.600 I have been for weeks as we've just been doing everything in our power to push this thing along.
00:31:32.820 But we, you know, they tried to run out the clock. They successfully ran out the clock and voting started today.
00:31:38.320 And then they 12 of them said, oh, well, now we can't do this. And so that's that is what it is.
00:31:45.040 We are going to live to regret these nine or 10 we left on the table. Mark my word.
00:31:50.080 We're going to live to regret those nine or 10. A three judge panel in Alabama.
00:31:54.260 But I'll get to that later. We got time. Caroline, where's Bomber Commands?
00:31:58.220 What's your Twitter feed on these updates you're doing on Texas tonight?
00:32:02.820 Because everybody's going to be hanging on this until we get a victory declared.
00:32:07.800 Yep, it is at Caroline Wren on XTruthSocial and Getter.
00:32:11.360 And I'll be there at the Paxton, hopefully, victory party.
00:32:14.300 We will know here in a couple hours when the pool's closed.
00:32:18.080 Caroline Wren, thank you so much.
00:32:19.500 And thank you for heading out there.
00:32:20.520 Just great. 1.00
00:32:22.140 So we've got Caroline Wren is there.
00:32:24.900 Raheem Kassama is there.
00:32:25.920 Scott Presser's there representing a big representation,
00:32:29.560 plus tons of other people that are very close to the Real America's Voice
00:32:33.160 and the War Room.
00:32:37.240 Not that we wouldn't love to be there,
00:32:39.140 but we're here in the Imperial Capitol for at least another week now,
00:32:44.400 not voluntarily, too much work to do.
00:32:47.400 Part of that deals with this issue of artificial intelligence.
00:32:50.940 Joe Allen, and you happen to be in town,
00:32:52.560 and so we've got a lot going on, meeting a lot of people.
00:32:55.920 The Pope, Pope Leo XIII, gave an encyclical.
00:32:59.900 This is what kind of popes did their official pronouncements back in the 19th century
00:33:04.800 about the Industrial Revolution and became the basis for kind of Catholic social thought
00:33:09.920 and social programs in the 20th century.
00:33:14.240 Now a lot of people, I think, are making a connection why Leo picked the name Leo XIV.
00:33:18.920 He was looking at the post-Industrial Revolution and particularly artificial intelligence.
00:33:22.540 the encyclical is 43 000 words that is the size almost of a book book length um it's actually
00:33:31.540 it's simple in one regard but complex in another you've had a chance to go through it your
00:33:35.800 assessment dave it's a very straightforward and also really accessible i recommend everyone in
00:33:43.380 the posse at least browse it if not read the entire thing even if you're not catholic i'm not
00:33:48.340 Catholic. But I think that it will inspire. Is that true? Joe Allen Cracker. But you do have a
00:33:56.040 master's degree in theology. It's true. That's one surefire way to end up in hell, they say. But
00:34:01.040 as to the encyclical, though, I think there's a lot of good things to be said about it. It's
00:34:08.260 very well thought out, very informed, a bit vanilla for my taste. But, you know, this is the
00:34:15.000 pope right this is a massive organization what 1.4 billion catholics well he's also he's also
00:34:21.620 although it's fairly bland i would say he and i've not been a fan on so many things he is stepping
00:34:27.320 into the middle of this fight there's no doubt about that in an inflection point and i think
00:34:31.540 that this is going to resonate so i mean among the things that i really really agree with within
00:34:36.660 this encyclical you have basically an embrace of human dignity as you would expect and a
00:34:42.020 condemnation of the excesses of the tech companies and their ambitions. There's an open acknowledgement
00:34:47.080 of transhumanism and post-humanism, which I think is really important to at least. He himself
00:34:53.120 admits that these are sloppy terms, but they do capture the hubris that these tech companies are
00:35:00.160 pushing forward with. And he goes through the specifics. What is threatened by this transhumanist
00:35:06.200 ambition? What is threatened by the technology of artificial intelligence? And he talks about
00:35:11.280 the ways in which children are affected by the technology and how they need to be protected.
00:35:15.280 He talks about how schools are being suffused with it and it's degrading the educational process and
00:35:20.520 that needs to be preserved. He talks about how the family is the core of society and of the entire
00:35:26.820 civilization and therefore families and that structure, that relationship has to be preserved.
00:35:33.920 You can't replace human connection with artificial intelligence or digital technology. He talks about
00:35:40.180 labor, that there is value to labor. He is very clear that human dignity is not pegged to labor.
00:35:47.620 It's not pegged to one's economic status. But in order to become a real person, one has to work.
00:35:53.720 And I think that his boldest stance is on war, that there should not be under any circumstances
00:36:00.360 autonomous weapons that are deployed without a human being overseeing it and without a human
00:36:05.460 being to be responsible for it now all these things are these are all subjects we talked about
00:36:10.480 for years but what's really important about this again this is an encyclical from a pope who has
00:36:17.120 took his name on the basis of this idea that we're in this next the the fourth industrial revolution
00:36:23.840 is our boy klaus schwab would say you believe that you believe that now that that's the he did
00:36:29.200 to signal that he's going to be like, he will be like Leo XIII.
00:36:34.520 He will be the Leo XIII for the post-industrial and artificial intelligence revolution.
00:36:39.200 Yeah, I believe he self-consciously took the name on for that very reason.
00:36:43.640 And so he is, whatever disagreements I have, and there's actually quite a few,
00:36:47.920 especially his sort of implicit optimism as to where the technology can go
00:36:52.640 and how it can be controlled.
00:36:53.740 I think that ultimately what he's done is he's set up a situation in which religious people, Catholics first, but also other religious people have a kind of paradigm to work from. 0.60
00:37:06.540 He's raising awareness of this as a real threat, not just to human labor, not just to human dignity, but also a real threat to the human being itself, the very concept of the human being. 0.76
00:37:20.000 And I think that's going to resonate outward.
00:37:22.260 I know a lot of Protestants and others who think that the Pope is basically a stand-in for the Antichrist.
00:37:27.640 I think that Peter Thiel has implied, at least, that the regulation the Pope is calling for is, in fact, in the spirit of the Antichrist.
00:37:35.700 But this couldn't have come at a better time, Steve.
00:37:37.620 Oh, you mean Peter Thiel, the phony MAGA person who's really an accelerationist, that Peter Thiel, the wolf in sheep's clothing, that Peter Thiel?
00:37:48.060 Yeah, Palantir Thiel, yes.
00:37:49.420 Palantir Thiel.
00:37:50.060 And I mean, you think about just this last week, you had Elon Musk.
00:37:54.440 I believe it was on a call with the investors or shareholders.
00:37:58.720 Well, it was for his IPO.
00:38:01.100 It was for the IPO. 0.95
00:38:02.060 He was talking about how Neuralink will allow for the blind to see and the lame to walk.
00:38:09.180 And this is a joke among our circles that has been brought up many times.
00:38:12.580 It's a serious one.
00:38:13.680 But people have noted that these are things that are attributed to Jesus.
00:38:17.040 In this situation, in this interview, he's talking about how these technologies do, in fact, represent Jesus-like miracles.
00:38:25.780 And so I think to have then the Pope be this opposite pole of that kind of hubris is going to be really important, whether one is Catholic or whether one is not.
00:38:37.080 And, you know, ultimately, this is the beginning of, I think, a conversation that will continue to rage across the planet as the technology spreads.
00:38:46.100 I will say that he maybe underestimates the power of the technology, but, you know, it's a fluid situation.
00:38:51.820 Because he's not a doomer, although there is a member, he introduces a guy on Anthropics, a senior guy of Anthropics, I guess one of the co-founders, that is at least advising them on the technology.
00:39:02.420 Is that correct?
00:39:03.020 I don't know.
00:39:03.660 Maybe not that clear, but.
00:39:05.100 I think it was reported that there is some kind of official partnership between Anthropics and the Vatican.
00:39:10.760 I don't think that that's true. But Chris Ola, if I recall his name correctly, one of the co-founders, kind of a guy who sat in the background.
00:39:18.340 He's basically a researcher who studies these systems.
00:39:22.340 But he was invited to speak when the encyclical was first presented at the Vatican.
00:39:27.780 And I think that, you know, his criticism is actually correct.
00:39:31.700 It was an implicit criticism.
00:39:33.020 But, you know, he talked about how when the people studying these systems, they don't just go in.
00:39:41.140 They're not looking at a system that's already predetermined.
00:39:43.560 They create the system and they go in and study then what has happened.
00:39:47.760 He talks about the kind of mysterious element in it.
00:39:50.540 That's something that, to a large degree, I think was lost in this encyclical.
00:39:54.680 I think that there will be a few statements in the encyclical, especially around reasoning and understanding,
00:40:01.720 that may not age well, but one way or the other, I think that his presence there, I mean,
00:40:07.740 for some people it signals like the effect of altruists are taking over, but, you know,
00:40:12.220 I think that he just basically formed a kind of dissenting, he was a dissenting voice.
00:40:16.740 We had John Schwabe on today from American Principles Project in the Populist Action website
00:40:26.420 talking about Dean Ball and the tweets of what I call the demonic class on Silicon Valley.
00:40:31.720 the grand humbling. They're all sitting there as a Greek chorus, just chanting to the American
00:40:38.100 people and to humans throughout the planet that be prepared for the grand humbling. What is the
00:40:44.180 grand humbling and why is this so disturbing? Well, I think first and foremost, I got to say
00:40:48.440 that I share Schweppe's energy on this, right? That I myself think that Dean Ball is entirely
00:40:55.420 too optimistic and entirely too absorbed in the perceived positive effects of the technology,
00:41:01.520 But I think that the point. He's not positive. Don't call him positive. He's a cult. This is he's part of that. He's part of the cult of AI.
00:41:07.980 OK, I won't deny that. But, you know, I know Ball fairly well. I've met him on a number of occasions.
00:41:14.340 We've had a number of pretty in-depth discussions. I don't think that Dean Ball is saying what he's being perceived to say.
00:41:21.380 What he is saying is that this technology will continue to advance, and you can't simply sit back and expect that the dismissal of the reasoning powers or the intelligence of these systems, which is probably the least insightful part of the encyclical, you can't sit back and say everything is going to be okay because these technologies will continue to develop and the challenge will be greater and greater.
00:41:46.120 Now, Ball accepts that. He embraces it. And I disagree with him on that completely.
00:41:50.700 But I don't think you can dismiss what he was saying in regard to the capabilities of these systems.
00:41:56.700 That I agree. OK, we're going to take a short commercial break.
00:42:01.280 Our own Joe Allen is going to stick with us. We're going to get more into the grand humbling.
00:42:07.260 Talk about the encyclical and where we go from here. Short commercial break. Back in the warm middle.
00:42:16.120 wait till they're all gone we rejoice when there's no more let's take down the ccp 1.00
00:42:22.440 war room here's your host stephen k band okay why i've got you in studio let's set aside because 1.00
00:42:29.220 i only got a couple minutes um i went off today on the grand humbling let's set aside the technical
00:42:34.680 reasons maybe the grand humbling and dean ball the guys mean something different than that okay
00:42:39.320 i went back and i think this is a key that picks the lock one of the most difficult
00:42:45.460 verses of the New Testament to understand has been the situation with Christ and his disciples
00:42:53.720 of which he sends them out to do what Elon Musk is saying he's doing now or going to do a neural
00:42:59.140 link, which is to heal the sick, you know, make the lame walk, the deaf here in the blind sea
00:43:04.560 in his name. And they come back and they've had, they're kind of shocked they've had some success.
00:43:09.520 And he goes, how'd it go? He goes, it went great, except for people said that you're Beelzebub.
00:43:14.320 and and this is all black magic and dark powers and christ doesn't flinch he says hey that doesn't
00:43:22.540 matter people can say what they're going to say but there's one unforgivable sin there's one
00:43:28.000 mortal sin there's one sin that you're damned forever and that is to blaspheme the holy spirit
00:43:32.600 and the holy spirit is what gives us helps um god the father make us in his image and likeness
00:43:39.040 Isn't that the interpretation of that, which people for centuries, for thousands of years have figured out, well, hang on, Christ is the only begotten son of God.
00:43:48.160 He's actually saying there's a sin he can't deal with, that it's unforgivable.
00:43:52.800 That means he can't intercede for you.
00:43:55.920 And people, I've read everything about it.
00:43:57.940 They spin around it. 0.99
00:43:58.980 It's because these transhumanists now have the power within their grasp, not just with AI, but also with CRISPR and everything to actually be God and make things in their own image and likeness. 1.00
00:44:14.080 Right. You've the whole verse becomes relevant. It took twenty five hundred years to man to get the technology. 1.00
00:44:20.840 But now you see it. And Christ warned us. He said, this is unforgivable. This is a mortal sin. This is this will damn you forever.
00:44:28.980 And when he says it's unforgivable and you're a disciple back in, you know, Judea in the year 32, you're going, wow, I've seen this guy do everything. 0.95
00:44:41.100 I'm about to see him raise Lazarus and the young girl from the dead.
00:44:44.660 And he's telling me that this is beyond his pay grade.
00:44:47.960 What is he talking about?
00:44:49.440 Now we're finding out.
00:44:51.260 You know, you got a master's in this from the same school that Dr. Martin Luther King got his master's in, Ph.D.
00:44:56.960 Help me out here, brother.
00:44:58.100 I'm just a Catholic.
00:44:59.100 You know, we only dip in and out the New Testament every now and again.
00:45:01.860 You know, I'll save all of my blasphemies for the article I'm working on.
00:45:06.220 It should be up tomorrow.
00:45:07.760 But, you know, Steve, we've been at this for over five years,
00:45:11.560 and you've brought up that verse again and again,
00:45:13.440 and I have turned it over again and again and again.
00:45:16.300 I've reinterpreted it, and I still am struggling to articulate exactly
00:45:23.340 how I take that verse in regard to transhumanism.
00:45:26.760 I can say this much. When you talk about blaspheming the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit as the image of God in human beings, this is exactly what the threat of artificial intelligence is. 0.71
00:45:41.880 And this is something I agree with in the Pope's encyclical. He talks about artificial intelligence in terms of its imitation of human intelligence.
00:45:50.380 And this is true. And he again and again and again, you read these these exultant writers about the power of artificial intelligence now and in the future.
00:46:00.480 And again and again is talking about how A.I. will overshadow that image of God.
00:46:06.900 You know, I oftentimes quit that just as St. Augustine said that Satan is the ape of God, that artificial intelligence is the ape of the image of God.
00:46:17.060 It's the imitator, the mocker of the image of God within us.
00:46:21.720 The thing that I find really troubling is that on a number of levels, from mathematics to guiding weapon systems to retrieving and analyzing information effectively and quickly,
00:46:36.300 certain facets of this image of God,
00:46:39.960 certain facets of the human mind
00:46:42.340 are effectively imitated in AI
00:46:44.880 and they're imitated in a way that beats the human.
00:46:48.360 I'm going to go there a second.
00:46:49.880 Real quickly, where do people get your writing?
00:46:51.840 You're going to have this up tonight or tomorrow morning?
00:46:53.520 Tomorrow morning, come sign up if you haven't already.
00:46:57.280 Jobot.xyz, Singularity Weekly,
00:47:00.140 where it's been mocked, not so weekly,
00:47:02.960 but it will be weekly again soon.
00:47:04.620 So, JoeBot.xyz.
00:47:06.640 And this is a big one.
00:47:08.340 Joe's been nonstop working on this, so we're looking forward to it.
00:47:10.880 Thank you for dropping in.
00:47:11.960 We'll get you, as soon as it's up tomorrow,
00:47:14.280 hopefully get you back in to explain even more.
00:47:16.500 I'm going to be up next hour.
00:47:18.020 As you know, I have a soft spot for writers.
00:47:21.040 And Joe, on occasions, is a writer.
00:47:23.540 No, he's great.
00:47:24.840 The book, Dark Aeon, is still, to me, a classic.
00:47:27.560 Sam Tannenhaus is going to join us here in the War Room.
00:47:30.720 And we're going to spend an hour talking about Cuba, communism, Marxism, all of that.
00:47:35.620 William F. Buckley, Whitaker Chambers.
00:47:37.880 You do not want to miss this.
00:47:41.240 Sacred Human Health, Trevor Comstock.
00:47:43.600 The floor is yours, sir.
00:47:46.100 Hey, Steve.
00:47:46.500 Great to see you.
00:47:47.460 So I just want to come on today, give a quick heads up.
00:47:49.720 We did extend the Memorial Day sale through today.
00:47:53.080 So if you did still want to take advantage of it, you can use code MEMORIAL at checkout for 20% off any one-time order.
00:48:00.720 And then also, I just wanted to touch on one of our newest product releases, which is our NAD Plus with CoQ10, which is a formula designed to support healthy aging, cellular energy production, and long-term vitality.
00:48:12.860 So, unfortunately, as we get older, our natural NAD Plus levels do start to decline quite a bit, and that can just impact how efficiently our cells are producing energy and function over time, which just correlates to your overall energy levels.
00:48:26.560 So this formula is really designed to support those natural cellular processes that play
00:48:31.640 a role in energy, wellness, and healthy aging.
00:48:34.540 And then it also includes the CoQ10, which is incredibly important for mitochondrial
00:48:39.000 function and heart health, since your mitochondria are basically the powerhouse of your cells.
00:48:43.520 But overall, it's just an amazing product for more consistent daily energy, healthy
00:48:48.300 aging, cellular health, as well as mental clarity and focus.
00:48:51.820 I know people typically feel pretty energized after taking it for a while.
00:48:54.880 So I'm excited about it. We've already sold out about half of our inventory, so it is going fast, but I'm excited to see the reviews come in.
00:49:03.060 We'll make sure that we get some more on deck.
00:49:06.260 So extending the sale, what is the sale? What's the value proposition to the War Room Posse?
00:49:13.160 Yeah, so you can go to sacredhumanhealth.com, but you can use code MEMORIAL for 20% off any one-time order once you get to the checkout cart.
00:49:22.440 And then, like I said, if you have any questions, you can always just let us know.
00:49:25.700 But that will be good through today.
00:49:28.560 Sir, thank you.
00:49:29.280 I want everybody to go to the site and read the reviews.
00:49:31.860 The reviews sell.
00:49:33.240 I mean, you make these in small batches.
00:49:34.960 You take your time.
00:49:35.720 Your R&D is thorough.
00:49:37.280 You don't put out a ton of products.
00:49:38.860 But the products you put out are all sold out immediately.
00:49:42.360 And I think part of it is the manufacturing process, too.
00:49:44.420 Trevor Comstock, amazing work, sir.
00:49:47.500 Thank you so much.
00:49:48.420 Thank you.
00:49:48.720 Joe Allen, thank you for dropping in
00:49:51.840 I know you're taking away from the writing
00:49:54.080 This is a big one for you
00:49:55.260 Stick around, you guys know I love
00:49:57.900 Talking to writers
00:49:58.680 Sam Tannehouse is not just a writer
00:50:01.320 He's a rank and tour
00:50:02.640 The stories he's got, I think you'll enjoy
00:50:06.000 The next hour, stick around
00:50:07.340 Second hour of the War Room
00:50:08.520 Sam Tannehouse, we're going to be back
00:50:10.380 I'll be keeping you up to date
00:50:11.920 On the all-important
00:50:15.080 Cornyn-General Paxton race in Texas
