00:00:00 In a 5-4 decision, the justices upheld a 2020 Mississippi law that says mail-in ballots still count if they are postmarked by Election Day and arrive within five days.
00:00:11 Writing for the majority, Justice Amy Coney Barrett rejected a radical attempt by Republicans to rewrite election law.
00:00:18 Quote, the Election Day statutes say nothing about ballot receipt and we cannot add to the words Congress chose.
00:00:25 Democracy Docket adds this, quote, in addition to protecting similar laws in 13 other states and Washington, D.C., this ruling will make it harder for the GOP to mount a legal assault on early voting, which legal experts said would be likely if the court ruled for the RNC.
00:00:41 Quote, it also spares laws in 17 states that specifically provide ballot receipt grace periods for military and overseas voters.
00:00:51 In the last hour, Donald Trump reacted to the ruling.
00:00:55 Lost his mind is what we'd say if he were anyone but the president by making baseless claims again that mail-in voting, which is how he votes, is, quote, cheating.
00:01:05 What comes next for the SAVE Act after today's ruling?
00:01:07 Well, because of the mail-in ballot ruling, which was a little bit surprising, gives people more time to vote illegally, let's say.
00:01:17 But the SAVE Act is even more important, and that's the right.
00:01:22 You have to be a citizen of our country.
00:01:24 Okay, you have to show you're a citizen of our country called citizenship. 0.77
00:01:28 Voter ID by photo, photo voter ID, and no mail-in ballots unless you're in the military disabled.
00:01:36 you're ill or you're away or even on a vacation we're being very open about it
00:01:41 it's pretty easy and we'll have honest elections but the ruling which a lot of
00:01:47 people were waiting for that was a ruling that was I think it was very
00:01:51 detrimental to honest elections but it is what it is basically they're keeping
00:01:57 it a little bit the way it is now they may have a little bit of a restriction
00:02:00 on based on the word about firing the parliamentarian and then you have the the very important one the
00:02:07 slaughter case which we'll talk about if you ask that question but the parliamentarian what were
00:02:14 you asking about yeah have you talked with Thune about I have no I can't imagine why you'd keep a
00:02:19 woman that was put there by Harry Reid and Barack Hussein Obama I cannot understand it
00:02:24 the leader has the right to fire the person
00:02:27 at will and put somebody else
00:02:29 there that could be because we get 0.99
00:02:31 so many negative rulings from her 0.99
00:02:33 the parliamentarian she's been there 0.98
00:02:35 for years and she was put
00:02:37 there by Harry Reid and
00:02:39 Barack Hussein Obama
00:02:40 Harry Reid was a bad guy
00:02:43 and he was the leader and he put her
00:02:45 and the speaker has the right to immediately 1.00
00:02:47 fire her and put somebody else there
00:02:49 it's not even believable that she's still there 1.00
00:02:52 She's obviously a good politician or something. 0.54
00:02:54 Poll watchers and workers, they, quote, monitored voting processes, 0.96
00:03:00 especially in swing states.
00:03:02 Some of the volunteers included Jack Posobiec.
00:03:05 She was also a former deputy director of the Republican National Lawyers Association
00:03:09 and a veteran of Florida GOP politics. 0.78
00:03:12 Do you see her in that role as potentially dangerous?
00:03:16 well when she worked on election integrity election integrity meant something different
00:03:24 than what you and i might mean when we use that term right i think about that as protecting
00:03:29 people's ability to register to vote and to have their vote counted and what she was involved in
00:03:35 was something very different it was the perpetration of the big lie in large part and
00:03:39 spreading myths about our elections so i think this is an alarming symbol but it's important
00:03:45 that we're seeing it happen in public. And I would say to my brother, Cornell, let's not fall down
00:03:51 before we get hit. Because even though they're trying to dilute our votes and take away our
00:03:56 votes, and I say this as a Southern Democrat, you know, I vote Democratic in Alabama a lot of the
00:04:01 time. I am willing to stand in the long lines. I'm willing to figure out where the new place that I
00:04:07 vote is now. I'm willing to, you know, walk the walk in our newly created districts in Alabama
00:04:14 that are gerrymandered, but I'm mindful that we've been very successful. And when I say we,
00:04:20 I don't say that in a partisan sense. I say people who believe in democracy and fair elections.
00:04:25 We've been remarkably successful in limiting, for instance, the post-Kalai damage. Many states have
00:04:31 not gerrymandered to the full extent that the court apparently would have acknowledged.
00:04:36 And so as we look at what's going on in the office of the DNI, and it appears very clearly
00:04:42 that what's underway here is an effort to use that office to perpetrate election myths this
00:04:49 fall. We all know that in 2020, Trump tried to do that at the Justice Department and failed
00:04:55 because the acting attorney general, the acting deputy stood up and refused to let their service
00:05:01 be used to perpetrate myths about election fraud. That's probably not going to be the case this year.
00:05:06 The guardrails are gone at DOJ. And now we see an effort and a lot of damage, frankly, could be done selectively declassifying intelligence community information in an effort to make it look like there has been some form of fraud in the vote.
00:05:23 That can be done very deceptively. The important thing is that we're on guard, that there are people who will be prepared for that.
00:05:30 What is the story for you when it comes to executive power and the future of our democratic institutions, whether it's under Trump or any other president in the future?
00:05:40 I think it's a full embrace of the unitary executive theory.
00:05:44 And if you read the opinion in Slaughter, they're not citing cases.
00:05:47 They're citing things that Hamilton wrote in the Federalist Papers.
00:05:53 These were advocacy papers.
00:05:55 These weren't necessarily etched in stone or legal precedent the way Humphrey's executor is.
00:06:00 So I think this court, all the way back to John Roberts serving in the Reagan administration,
00:06:05 Brett Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch, have all embraced this idea of a unitary executive,
00:06:12 a strong federal chief executive.
00:06:15 And the danger with that, of course, is that it means that we don't have these checks.
00:06:20 We don't have independent agencies that are serving the needs of the public.
00:06:25 I don't know that they're in the bag for Donald Trump, per se.
00:06:27 I think they've always had this idea of a strong chief executive in the immunity decision.
00:06:33 You may recall that Chief Justice Roberts wrote that it was more important than being able to hold a president criminally responsible,
00:06:40 that he be free to make decisions in a manner that is bold and fearless.
00:06:46 Well, we have that bold and fearless leader now with his muscular approach.
00:06:50 But I think that Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson sums it up best in her dissents in some of these cases when she has said,
00:06:56 this is the exact wrong moment in our nation's history to embrace a unitary executive.
00:07:02 We've got Donald Trump in office, who more than anything wants to be a king,
00:07:06 and this court is enabling him.
00:07:09 So this was a great victory today for democracy,
00:07:12 and I'm proud of the work that my law firm did on behalf of our great clients
00:07:16 that Voices Foundation and the Mississippi branch of the Alliance of Retired Americans.
00:07:24 When Republicans filed this lawsuit, they chose Mississippi for a reason.
00:07:28 You know, I've alluded to this before, but I'm going to come out and say it.
00:07:31 I am pretty confident they chose to sue Mississippi because where we had tangled in swing states, they had lost.
00:07:37 So I think they thought they could go to Mississippi.
00:07:40 No one would be paying attention.
00:07:42 Probably the Mississippi attorney general, who's a Republican, might go easy on them.
00:07:46 So we intervened right away and we got into this case in the trial court and we have fought and we have fought and we fought.
00:07:51 And, you know, today was a good victory. It was 5-4. It was close. But the net result is that voters throughout the country in a whole bunch of states will be able to make sure that the Postal Service delays and Donald Trump's efforts to make those delays greater will not disenfranchise them from having their ballots counted.
00:08:09 And we're talking here about hundreds of thousands of voters.
00:08:13 The RNC got into this case and brought this case because, as they point out, they believe that the voters who would be disenfranchised would be disproportionately Democrats.
00:08:23 So this is a good day for democracy.
00:08:25 It's a good day for voting rights.
00:08:27 And it is a good day to make sure that Republicans are not able to target for disenfranchisement their political opponents.
00:08:34 this is the primal scream of a dying regime pray for our enemies because we're going to
00:08:44 medieval on these people here's not got a free shot all these networks lying about the people
00:08:51 the people have had a belly full of it i know you don't like hearing that i know you try to do
00:08:55 everything in the world to stop that but you're not going to stop it it's going to happen and
00:08:59 Where do people like that go to share the big line?
00:09:02 MAGA Media.
00:09:03 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:09:09 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:09:12 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:09:19 War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Vann.
00:09:22 monday 29 june year of alert 2026 welcome to the late afternoon early evening edition of the war
00:09:34 room um we'll have it up momentarily the daily mail to spoke their lead story maga objects
00:09:40 to uh the notre dame um law professor barrett and um no no we got the big bowl one coming
00:09:50 right to you right now um and of course talks about megan kelly and the war room this morning
00:09:57 not being exactly aligned with the notre dame law professor um let's go to we got cleta mitchell
00:10:06 cleta talk to us about uh what we saw this morning how important is this what type of impact
00:10:12 where do you put it on the richter scale well gosh i put it this is seismic because it's such 0.98
00:10:20 a stupid decision um it's someone i read someone today saying you know this only goes to show way 0.98
00:10:28 you shouldn't put a law professor on the supreme court because she she writing for the majority 1.00
00:10:35 including the chief justice i mean it's just like he just don't even get me started but
00:10:41 She says that there is
00:10:44 No, I want to get you
00:10:45 No, no, no, I want to get you started
00:10:47 You're one of those lifelong Republicans
00:10:50 Right?
00:10:51 This is payback for your sins
00:10:54 Of supporting Bush
00:10:55 You got Roberts as a Bush guy
00:10:58 And Amy Coney Barrett
00:10:59 You know, thing which it calls her 1.00
00:11:01 Megyn Kelly says she's a turncoat 1.00
00:11:03 I don't think she's a turncoat 0.93
00:11:04 It's just a typical 1.00
00:11:06 Squish Republican
00:11:09 It's the reason we're in the shape we're in 0.90
00:11:11 They're an opposition. They're they're a fake opposition party. Controlled opposition, ma'am.
00:11:17 And don't don't forget. We also got Justice Sam Alito. And he is probably he and Clarence Thomas are just beyond fabulous.
00:11:28 I can't stop. I can't. Whoa. I can't believe you said that. We have Sam Alito because they put they put up Myers.
00:11:37 They put up Myers first, his White House counsel, White House counsel, who is totally incompetent.
00:11:44 Bush wanted Myers.
00:11:46 I mean, you fought it.
00:11:47 I know that.
00:11:48 Then we got Alito.
00:11:49 Oh, but we got Alito.
00:11:51 But, you know, I think that, I don't know.
00:11:54 But Amy Coney Barrett, right for the majority, and this is what is shocking, is that there
00:11:59 are five justices of the Supreme Court who believe and who wrote in this opinion that
00:12:06 there is a difference between casting the ballot, that is when the voters make their
00:12:12 choice, and when the ballot is received.
00:12:17 That makes no sense.
00:12:19 Frankly, according to their opinion, I actually think that this gives us good grounds to challenge
00:12:26 early voting, and to say that voting is—there's a lot in that opinion that would suggest that we
00:12:33 ought to be challenging early voting, we ought to be challenging unfettered absentee voting,
00:12:39 because they also point out, which Mark Elias conveniently forgets to discuss,
00:12:46 that repeatedly they referred to the fact that the ballots had to be postmarked
00:12:52 on or before Election Day. Well, California doesn't require a postmark. I think we ought
00:12:58 to challenge that. I think that what we have to do on our side is that we have to do what the
00:13:04 left has done. And I know that when Stephen Miller started America First Legal Foundation
00:13:09 in 2021, the idea was to build a judicial attack mob similar to what the left has.
00:13:18 And we haven't really done that.
00:13:20 I mean, we've done a lot better.
00:13:24 But these guys, the left challenges everything.
00:13:28 And we are getting these terrible decisions from these awful left-wing Trump court judges all over the country. 0.89
00:13:34 And then this decision, to me, the worst part of this decision is it emboldens these left-wing crazy judges that are inhabiting our courts all over the country. 0.89
00:13:48 That's the constitutional crisis we face is all of these judges.
00:13:52 But I will tell you that I think that there is there's a roadmap in this.
00:13:59 Unfortunately, it requires congressional action.
00:14:02 And we see how terrible Congress, the U.S. Senate is.
00:14:06 So, I mean, we have a crisis because the judges are not letting the president do his job and they're trying to do Congress's job.
00:14:14 Well, they're not going to. 0.92
00:14:15 this is a this is a full institutional marxist takeover i agree with you i think if you look at
00:14:21 this you look at this decision there's all types of fertile ground right there to get back into
00:14:26 court right away particularly with that i think they give two broad definition of exactly what
00:14:31 what is postmark they kind of leave that kind of open right and or close to election anyway
00:14:35 we're gonna come right stick around we got to talk about save america president is now

00:17:23 Take care of that.
00:17:24 Put that on your action item.
00:17:25 Let's get that done today.
00:17:28 Cleta, I think there's all types of opportunities, but you've got to get up on it and get on the emergency docket.
00:17:33 People have got to understand we cannot, we have to be relentless on this.
00:17:37 One of the things that Mark Elias and this crowd, they're relentless.
00:17:40 They just keep coming, and we have to keep coming.
00:17:43 We can't back off.
00:17:44 Your guidance to lawyers looking at this right now and all those different aspects that you saw.
00:17:49 Well, I think that you're 100% right.
00:17:51 As I'm reading through this majority opinion, I'm thinking, you know, if the Supreme Court thinks that it has to be postmarked, California's law is unconstitutional.
00:18:01 If they say that the act of voting is supposed to take place on Election Day and that's separate from receiving the ballot, I think that's crazy.
00:18:12 But that means early voting is out the door.
00:18:17 So let's get on it.
00:18:18 Let's file some cases.
00:18:19 Let's look at some of these states.
00:18:21 I mean, there's a lot of dicta in here about the history of why Congress set an election day in the first place was because states were holding elections on different days and then the results could be known before election day.
00:18:35 So they made one election day.
00:18:38 I mean, it's a really goofy opinion, but there's enough in here that I think we should be starting.
00:18:43 I'm actually going to convene a group and see if we can get some lawyers and some organizations to file some lawsuits starting, you know, immediately.
00:18:52 I think we have to do that.
00:18:54 But, you know, these things, cases, you're right about the emergency docket.
00:18:57 This thing took two years to get here.
00:19:00 But they've, with all the reading, if you read about it and they go through the whole history of it, they've essentially agreed to election month, or I call it almost election two months, election month and a half, right?
00:19:13 four to six weeks early voting, then like in L.A., they just keep counting till they get a
00:19:18 Democrat Socialist winner. They, you know, they certify four weeks later. So it's like it's over
00:19:23 a two-month process in some places, right? Didn't they just confirm that that's okay to do?
00:19:29 Well, I don't think so. I think that the, I think the Supreme Court,
00:19:33 I think this is a pretty narrow decision, first of all, because they make it clear that there was
00:19:39 not a challenge to early voting. There was not a challenge to the post office delivery system.
00:19:44 And what they basically did was they took the very poorly written UOCAVA, Uniformed Overseas
00:19:52 Citizens Absentee Voting Act, which is a federal statute, and which is something that Democrats
00:19:57 put together under the guise of helping military voters, when really what they wanted to do was to
00:20:02 legalized fraud among civilian overseas voters. And so I think that the model election laws that
00:20:11 we put together for the election integrity network, our handbook calls for changes in
00:20:17 Yochava and in the way states define things. Because you want to talk about a mess of a 0.97
00:20:22 statute, Yochava, and that's what the Supreme Court relied on. So Secretary of State Michael
00:20:29 Watson from Mississippi, his response was Congress needs to do its job better. And I think that's
00:20:34 right. But it's very interesting. This court said, well, we know that there are concerns about fraud
00:20:41 and all, but those are concerns people should take to the legislature, not to the court.
00:20:46 And it's probably not the best thing, but it's up to Congress to fix it. Okay. All right. We're
00:20:52 aware of that. So now what we have to do is get Congress to fix some things. But we know how hard
00:20:57 That is, as we're seeing with the Save America Act, because we have no Democrats who'll vote for any kind of election integrity.
00:21:03 I think it's the most amazing thing to me, though, Steve, listening to those Democrats and Mark Elias and this, that somehow it is a radical notion.
00:21:12 That one would say it was radical on MSNBC.
00:21:16 It's radical to have to receive the ballots by the close of the polls on Election Day.
00:21:21 What's radical about that?
00:21:23 I mean, I think Mississippi only passed this law in 2020 because of COVID.
00:21:26 Okay, they need to switch their law, and I'm pretty sure that the Mississippi legislature will do that.
00:21:33 But it also—here's the other thing, another big takeaway from this opinion, is that the Supreme Court—and maybe they didn't mean to say this, those three left-wing women didn't mean to say this—but they said and they agreed that most of these laws are in the hands of the states.
00:21:54 And that would mean that H.R. 1, which was the bill Nancy Pelosi authored, that would have made federal law on elections what we see in California, would have Californianized all of our elections.
00:22:09 The Supreme Court in this opinion today said, no, no, no, that's for the states to decide.
00:22:15 So that would mean that if the Democrats ever get control of Congress again and they start to try to do that again, we've got a Supreme Court decision, this decision that says they can't do that.
00:22:27 But you're right. We have to have the lawyers on our side and all the legal groups need to get together and we need to pick through this and start filing some lawsuits immediately against some of the other things, because I don't think it opens wide the door for early voting.
00:22:45 I think early voting is suspect under this decision, and I think we need to take some of those 45-day early voting states and take those straight to the Supreme Court.
00:22:55 Say, okay, you said that the act of voting is what happens on Election Day, so what about this?
00:23:04 45 days, that's not an Election Day.
00:23:07 Given you're going to lead a charge in putting together effort of these various groups and lawyers and all the people that you work with,
00:23:13 riddle me this
00:23:15 Save America Act
00:23:16 if the housing thing
00:23:21 they think the housing thing gets approved
00:23:23 because the president doesn't deal with it
00:23:24 they're going to lose voters
00:23:26 the only thing the voters want to address
00:23:28 and they don't want any games being played
00:23:30 you know Johnson set this up to the White House
00:23:33 somebody at the White House conceived the plot
00:23:35 that oh we'll just save it
00:23:37 and we'll look at it and they'll become law
00:23:39 because we need this
00:23:40 what you need is the Save America Act
00:23:42 What is the latest on the Save America Act?
00:23:45 I know you've been burning up the phone lines and the war on posse.
00:23:48 We put our pencils down for a day, but we're prepared to light them up tomorrow because now more than ever, you need this.
00:23:54 And the president's saying in true social more than ever, we need this.
00:23:58 Well, it's absolutely true.
00:24:00 Congress has to do its job and Congress has to overturn the bad things that states and courts are doing.
00:24:10 But we're down to four senators, four senators, and all the Democrats, by the way, all the Democrats are a problem here.
00:24:20 Let's not forget that.
00:24:21 The reason we're in this mess is because there's not a single Democrat, not John Fetterman, nobody, not a single Democratic senator will vote to allow this bill to be voted on, not one.
00:24:34 And they won't vote for it, 100 percent Democrat opposition, 100 percent.
00:24:38 So we're down to four Republican senators, and it's up to these four Republican senators to decide that they would agree to overrule the parliamentarian and to say the Save America Act can be attached to reconciliation.
00:24:58 That's what it would take.
00:24:59 Four senators would have to agree to vote for that, Republicans.
00:25:04 And if they would do that, then we could pass the Save America Act with J.D. Vance in the chair, and we could pass the Save America Act on a simple majority.
00:25:12 That's what it takes.
00:25:13 We're down to four Republican senators plus all of the Democrats who are opposed.
00:25:19 So we need to focus on Bill Cassidy, Tom Tillis, Lisa Murkowski.
00:25:24 I'll tell you what we have to do to Lisa Murkowski.
00:25:27 In November, there will be on the ballot in Alaska a repeal of ranked choice voting.
00:25:33 If that passes, it almost passed two years ago, barely failed, just a few hundred votes, and the proponents for repeal spent about $100,000 compared to $14 million spent against repeal two years ago.
00:25:51 We'll probably see a repeat of that. 0.99
00:25:53 Lisa Murkowski doesn't have ranked choice voting. 1.00
00:25:56 If that were to happen, there's no way she gets reelected in two years. 1.00
00:26:00 So the thing that has to happen is that we've got to get rid of people like Lisa Murkowski.
00:26:07 But in the meanwhile, we have got to get Susan Collins, Bill Cassidy, and Tom Tillis to all vote to overturn the parliamentarian and to allow the Save America Act to be attached to reconciliation.
00:26:21 That's one of the three ways, and to me it's the easiest way for the Senate.
00:26:25 But none of it's easy. These guys make it really hard hiding behind these rules, these ossified rules.
00:26:31 And they stick to these rules created by Robert Byrd, the former majority leader, Democrat majority leader for a long time of the U.S. Senate, who was a grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan.
00:26:43 And I keep saying, why are you guys clinging to a Ku Klux Klan, a Klansman's rule? 0.59
00:26:50 I'm not calling it the Byrd rule anymore. I'm going to call it the KKK rule. 0.90
00:26:54 Why don't we get rid of the KKK rule? Why don't we get rid of this this seeming obedience by these Republican senators 40 years hence to because they could they could get rid of this.
00:27:08 I stand by what I said. You're going to have you're going to have to have a leadership fight in the Senate and make this central, make this central, have a leadership fight first.
00:27:20 Best case, you replace the worst, worst, worst, worst case, worst case, you bloody him.
00:27:26 President's just got to tell somebody, say, hey, you, you're running and just do it that way. 0.91
00:27:32 You're going to have to do it. Otherwise, it's very simple.
00:27:36 You're going to lose the House and the Senate if you don't do this.
00:27:38 I'm now convinced. And I was always the number one voice saying we would hang in for it.
00:27:43 So if the president wants to be impeached, if everybody in the White House wants to be subpoenaed, go for it.
00:27:48 just don't do anything right right cleta where they go for election integrity network in your
00:27:54 social media where they go for you for uh at ei on x at ei watchdogs that's our election

00:28:21 that's what we got from amy coney barrett and john roberts today and i'm pretty i'm pretty upset
00:28:25 about it it's pretty outrageous but we need to take it and wrap it around their necks and bring
00:28:30 some more cases and let and say but this is what you said over here we need to make them peel it

00:31:37 I've got a short clip from that.
00:31:39 Also, today's the 250th commemoration of the Constitution of the State of Virginia.
00:31:44 I've got that.
00:31:45 And Eric Metaxas is going to explain that and the events happening this week
00:31:51 in the run-up to the 250th commemoration
00:31:54 of the birth of our nation.
00:31:57 Let's go ahead and play it.
00:32:03 Get out of the road! Out of the road now! 0.63
00:32:06 Collar chicken s***! 0.99
00:32:09 Is there a number, though? 0.96
00:32:11 There is a number, and it's called all of them. 0.98
00:32:13 These people are savages. 0.87
00:32:15 They can feel weakness and fear. 1.00
00:32:18 The head of DHS, the Haitians should now just take out and take time to fill out the form. 1.00
00:32:23 We've had politicians like DeWine of Ohio coming in and saying how great they are. 1.00
00:32:27 They're amazing. 1.00
00:32:28 And we had Mullen practically trying to coerce or perhaps give advice to those Haitians
00:32:36 to put their paperwork in to become citizens. 0.85
00:32:38 American taxpayer wants mass deportations.
00:32:40 They want deportations of all illegal aliens and those who refuse to assimilate. 0.98
00:32:46 and they want them now. 0.69
00:32:47 Why aren't those leaders, why aren't our elected leaders
00:32:50 and our bureaucrats there in D.C. not getting that message?
00:32:57 You know, we've got that cultural aspect of our society
00:32:59 that is under attack.
00:33:02 They're going to vote us out.
00:33:04 They're going to outbreed us. 0.95
00:33:06 We need to remove all of these people.
00:33:08 I say that the regular run-of-the-mill, run-of-the-mill, 1.00
00:33:11 illegal alien is far more of a threat
00:33:14 than those criminal aliens, terrorists, 0.85
00:33:18 and folks with significant criminal histories
00:33:20 because our culture's at stake here.
00:33:22 But we've got a very small window 0.90
00:33:23 to go after those 100 million other illegal aliens.
00:33:30 This is the zone we were allotted to protest.
00:33:33 If a guy like Newsom or Ossoff or one of these people
00:33:36 with even a more radical VP wins in 28,
00:33:39 how secure is that border given those scenarios?
00:33:44 sir steve the border is only as secure as the folks that are manning it
00:33:59 okay um welcome back bovino is going to be at uh commander bovino will be with me at the top of
00:34:05 the hour you do not want to miss that one of the more important interviews we've ever done for the
00:34:09 the entire hour on the war room so metaxas we are number eight this week how do we drive it
00:34:16 back up to number uh to number one sir because this is our week brother this is our week and
00:34:21 everybody i've gotten this book to and i've sent out dozens as gifts because i think it's that
00:34:27 important they love this book even people who don't read a lot are devouring this book because
00:34:32 it's so beautifully written and so logical about how you took a very complicated topic and made
00:34:38 it accessible with everybody? How do we get it back to number one? Well, it's simple. Everybody
00:34:44 listening to us right now has to buy several copies, probably buy a copy for your local library,
00:34:50 buy a copy for your friends that are not on the same page as we are politically. To be quite honest,
00:34:54 Steve, what amazes me is when I write books like this, I know mostly it's going to be Christian 0.99
00:35:00 conservatives who buy them, but I always write them for the people that are not Christians
00:35:04 or conservatives. I say, I want to tell the truth in a way that if you're not on our page, 0.82
00:35:11 it opens your eyes and you say, you know what? I never heard this before. Why have I never heard
00:35:15 this before? Well, it's because you read the New York Times and other trashy papers or you listen
00:35:19 to CNN. But the point is, I want to get this book into the hands of your average American.
00:35:27 And as you know and I know, we're being censored. My friends are telling me they can't find this
00:35:32 book in bookstores. It was number two on the New York Times list. Last week was number eight.
00:35:38 Amazon has run out of copies. Now they're getting copies. But it's kind of crazy that so many people
00:35:44 are reading and buying this book, but you still can't find it in bookstores. So my mission really
00:35:48 is to get the ideas, which your audience is familiar with these ideas, to get these ideas
00:35:54 in the hands of your average American. If your average American is confronted with this, it'll
00:36:00 be a new day we we have to force this we have to force have to we have to be a forcing function
00:36:05 barnes and noble the bookstores are barely hanging on but they won't take a book that'll be a blowout
00:36:11 seller because they don't want this part of the they don't want this idea of the revolution to
00:36:17 become part of the permanent american you know mindscape they'd rather have all this left-wing
00:36:22 trash they've got in there so they won't order these small independent bookstores won't do it 0.95
00:36:27 They won't even put it in the stacks. We have to make this such an overwhelming bestseller that they're absolutely, because of economic necessity, are forced to, sir.
00:36:36 I mean, actually, that's exactly what I've been saying. You have to make it too big to rig. I didn't coin that phrase.
00:36:42 You have to make it too big to rig because if it's consistently up at the top, then the bookstores, they're kind of going to be forced to carry it.
00:36:49 And I say to everybody, go into your local bookstore. Don't tell them you're a MAGA person.
00:36:54 Just say, do you have the book Revolution by New York Times bestseller, Eric Metat, do you have the book Revolution?
00:37:00 Ask them, ask them, ask them, because if it's not in the stores, they're censoring this.
00:37:06 And again, we know this is how the left works.
00:37:09 They've done this in Hollywood.
00:37:10 I remember Michael Medved wrote a book 35 years ago, Hollywood vs. America, that if they wanted to make money in Hollywood, they would make G-rated films for families.
00:37:17 But they would rather virtue signal for their buddies in the Hollywood elite, so they made gritty, nasty, R-rated films.
00:37:24 That's the way it's always been with the cultural elites.
00:37:27 So you have to make it too big to rig.
00:37:28 And again, I say, this is a book, if you give this to your average person, they're going
00:37:33 to read it and they're going to go, hey, this is a great story of America.
00:37:37 I never knew this stuff.
00:37:38 You're not going to find this stuff in Howard Zinn.
00:37:40 You're not going to find this stuff on PBS, on Ken Burns' documentary.
00:37:43 But I wrote it in a way that I'm not tipping off my hat that I love President Trump, because
00:37:48 that's ultimately a side issue.
00:37:50 And I probably think that President Trump's endorsement probably made some of these woke bookstore owners say like, oh, I don't I don't want the book.
00:37:58 So don't tell him that the president likes it. Tell him Jimmy Carter loved it.
00:38:02 I don't know. Tell him something like that. Tell him Larry David absolutely loves this book.
00:38:07 I don't know if they'll buy that, but let's I want to go back in time and put us on this timeline.
00:38:13 And 250 years ago, I think yesterday, didn't Jefferson – Jefferson submitted for editorial review the actual Declaration of Independence, and today I think is the 250th anniversary of the Virginia Constitution.
00:38:30 Am I correct in that timeline?
00:38:32 Yes, and the funny thing is actually that's a big part of my book is telling the story of how independence actually happened.
00:38:37 Thomas Jefferson gets way too much credit.
00:38:40 John Adams deserves the credit.
00:38:43 John Adams was the genius, the selfless genius who said, we need Virginians to be involved if this is going to go.
00:38:51 So we need to get Richard Henry Lee. 0.90
00:38:53 You can tell him a taxes as a Yankee. 0.90
00:38:58 OK, keep going.
00:39:00 You're talking to a guy from Virginia, but keep going.
00:39:03 Keep going.
00:39:03 No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:39:04 I mean, hey, George Washington is from Virginia.
00:39:07 Richard Henry Lee is from Virginia.
00:39:08 But I'm saying that Jefferson, basically John Adams knew politically, he was politically very smart.
00:39:15 He said that all the members of Congress think I'm a hothead.
00:39:19 Us from Massachusetts, we're the hotheads.
00:39:20 We caused all this trouble.
00:39:22 We need to lay low, step back, let the Virginians take the lead on this.
00:39:27 So we got Richard Henry Lee to propose independence.
00:39:31 That was a big deal to get a Virginian to do that.
00:39:33 When we want to pick somebody for the continent to lead the Continental Army, we could have, they were going to pick, John Hancock thought they're going to pick me.
00:39:41 John Adams is like, no, no, no, you're from Massachusetts.
00:39:43 We need to pick somebody from Virginia.
00:39:45 We're going to pick George Washington.
00:39:47 Now, I believe God's hand was in this.
00:39:49 But when it comes actually to what happened to lead to independence, John Adams was very canny.
00:39:54 So he understood, he basically, it's kind of funny, actually.
00:39:58 I tell the story in detail in the book and you've read it. But he was basically thinking, here's what we're going to do. We're going to propose independence, but it's going to be a very anodyne, neutral kind of like nobody can really disagree with it. It's not going to be a big deal. And we're going to start with the most anodyne, neutral thing of all.
00:40:16 We're simply going to say, listen, things are falling apart. So every one of the 13 colonies needs to establish its own assembly because the British, you know, they're they're not we they don't have our backs anymore.
00:40:30 So we need to take care of ourselves. We need to create our own assemblies. And in effect, when he got them to say yes to that, it was game over. Independence had already happened.
00:40:40 But John Adams was very, very shrewd. By doing that, he kind of made them take a step forward.
00:40:48 And then actually, another funny thing is the Richard Henry Lee proposal for independence.
00:40:53 Again, it was very neutral. It wasn't incendiary language.
00:40:57 But then somebody said, oh, you know what? Somebody needs to write a kind of a preamble to explain what we've just signed here.
00:41:03 Right. And so they say, John Adams, why don't you do it?
00:41:05 He writes a preamble that is five times as long as the actual resolution, and it is 10
00:41:11 times more fiery.
00:41:13 And it gave a lot of the moderates a heart attack because they realized we'd been bamboozled.
00:41:17 So Adams is the man behind revolution.
00:41:19 And again, that chapter in my book, I didn't know this.
00:41:22 A lot of the stuff in my book, I didn't know, Steve.
00:41:24 So it's kind of funny when you do the research and you're thinking, hey, wait a minute.
00:41:27 Adams is the hero behind this.
00:41:29 And of course, you know, July 2nd, they basically say we're voting for independence.
00:41:34 So that was the day he thought was going to be the day.
00:41:37 But then they said, oh, well, we've got to approve the declaration.
00:41:40 So they took the next two days and eventually on the 4th, they officially approved it.
00:41:44 But independence really comes before that.
00:41:46 And what I keep saying is when we keep raving about the Declaration of Independence, it's a little weird.
00:41:50 It's like it's like that's the birth certificate of independence.
00:41:55 So it would be like going to the hospital and they say, well, the mother is in this room. 0.60
00:42:00 And you go, I don't want to see the mother that gave birth.
00:42:02 show me the man who printed the birth certificate. I want to meet that man.
00:42:06 It's a little backwards. So we need to understand independence was something that it precedes
00:42:11 the Declaration. The Declaration didn't sort of invent the idea of independence and everything
00:42:16 that's in the Declaration of Independence. These ideas were everywhere long before
00:42:21 Thomas Jefferson sat down to put it together. Do you use, I got a minute here, I want to hold
00:42:27 you through the break. The book's written almost like a novel. I think the reason people love it,
00:42:31 It's it's all historical fact and use obviously the quotes from history, but you use novelistic techniques to kind of drive the narrative forward.
00:42:40 The thing you like to put it down. Yeah, you don't even like that.
00:42:43 You just it's like, yeah, true. And cold blood. That's a perfect example.
00:42:47 How did you how did you do that? I'm I'm just like Truman Capote now that I find that very funny.
00:42:52 So that's why I got to say say stupid things. Basically, it's just my instinct as a writer. 0.99
00:42:58 I've always been able to tell stories and communicate.
00:43:01 And I, you know, if I'm at a dinner party or whatever, I'll interrupt people like, no,
00:43:04 no, no, you missed this piece or you missed it.
00:43:06 I always want to put in the really the entertaining stuff, the weird stuff, the stuff that makes
00:43:11 you remember the story.
00:43:12 And so people have said that, but it's not like it's something I'm doing consciously.
00:43:15 I'm just excited about what I'm what I'm researching and I want to communicate it so
00:43:21 that whoever reads it really gets it.
00:43:22 And there were a lot of stories like the Boston Tea Party that every version I read didn't
00:43:27 really explain it sufficiently so i had to do more research until i actually understood it
00:43:32 and then you know i wrote it in a way i hope that the reader understands what actually happened
00:43:36 because you know the truth turns out to be kind of exciting uh eric hang on i want to hold you
00:43:42 through the break and tell people how they can get this book no it was number two on the new
00:43:48 york times best seller list number eight this week we're driving it to number one as a cultural
00:43:54 event. Short commercial break.
00:43:56 The author, Eric Metaxas, on the

00:44:18 of commemoration and
00:44:20 celebration. Where do they go to get it?
00:44:22 Well, first of all, it's mandatory
00:44:24 beach reading, Steve. And I say this half joking as I do everything that folks, we have a duty to
00:44:30 this country to know the story. Please take it seriously. Like this is not for history buffs.
00:44:35 This is for every American. And when you say where to get it, I would say Amazon because Amazon
00:44:40 is the driver and the rank on Amazon, you know, has been consistently solid, even though this book
00:44:49 sold so quickly in the first week going to number two that they ran out of copies. So I think they
00:44:54 have copies now, but it doesn't matter. Please order it from Amazon. That's the best price and
00:44:59 that's going to drive it. But you have to make it too big to rig. I guess the point is you've
00:45:03 been saying it. The ideas in this book have to be put into the mainstream culture. PBS has had
00:45:08 a headlock on the culture. The leftists have had a headlock on the culture with these bad ideas.
00:45:14 Tom Hanks has some insane woke documentary on Netflix about the American founding. We have to
00:45:19 get our ideas into the mainstream, into the mainstream, not just on these channels where
00:45:24 we all already agree, but into the mainstream.
00:45:26 The way you do that is by getting at the top of the bestseller list.
00:45:29 So they're forced to carry it in the bookstores.
00:45:31 So Joe Blow picks it up and says, this looks like a nice book.
00:45:34 And guess what?
00:45:35 It is a nice book.
00:45:36 So that's the idea.
00:45:37 And I'm so grateful to you for getting the message out.
00:45:40 This is about the country.
00:45:41 It's not about a book.
00:45:42 It's about the country.
00:45:44 Eric, look forward to talk to you tonight.
00:45:45 Look forward to seeing you tomorrow.
00:45:47 Thank you, sir.
00:45:48 God bless you.
00:45:49 Thank you.
00:45:50 If you buy this book and carry it under your arm, people say, that person's smart.
00:45:55 If you read it, you will be smart.
00:45:57 Just remember that.
00:45:58 This book is, and it reads like a novel.
00:45:59 So you have no excuse for not turning pages.
00:46:03 Mike Lindell, I'm going to go out with the Gruber family's new hit, One Nation. 0.70
00:46:08 As we drive that, it's number one on the Christian list.
00:46:11 We want to drive it in the top 10 of all music in the country.
00:46:15 What do you got for us?
00:46:15 Talk to me about deals.
00:46:17 I'm going to get you tomorrow about this abomination happening at the court
00:46:21 because you're in the middle of it about this election month.
