this is what you're fighting for i mean every day you're out there what they're doing is blowing
00:00:16.040
people off if you continue to look the other way and shut up then the oppressors the authoritarians
00:00:23.800
get total control and total power because this is just like in arizona this is just like in georgia
00:00:29.560
it's another element that backs them into a quarter and shows their lies and misrepresentations
00:00:34.640
that's why this audience is going to have to get engaged as we've told you this is the fight
00:00:38.420
all this nonsense all this spin they can't handle the truth war room battleground here's your host
00:00:45.520
stephen k bannon you have a unique perch in your chair on the foreign affairs committee
00:00:51.460
president biden recently asked for more funding for ukraine sending more arms and weapons and dollars
00:00:58.420
to ukraine give us an update in terms of where you think we are and what should we be doing to be
00:01:03.020
most helpful in that space well i begin by saying that instead of thinking about well if biden requests
00:01:08.900
that it must be wrong uh there's my team and his team yeah and instead saying what's in the best
00:01:13.900
interest of the national security for the united states of america and our biggest global threat
00:01:19.160
over the coming century certainly comes from china china has one major ally well more than one when you
00:01:26.240
consider north korea but one major ally and that's russia and so weakening russia is very much in our
00:01:32.160
interest if we're concerned about china and of course russia itself has 1500 nuclear warheads aimed
00:01:38.620
at the united states of america so seeing russia struggle in ukraine having its military decimated
00:01:45.060
without any american loss of life it's really quite extraordinary so for the last two years we have been
00:01:51.720
spending about five percent of our military budget by sending weapons uh to uh to ukraine to help them
00:01:58.620
in their battle against russia it is very much in our interest we spend about 750 to 800 billion a year
00:02:06.840
on our national defense that's to protect us from people like russia to take 50 of that each year
00:02:12.640
and use that to strengthen ukraine is the smartest thing we could do and probably the
00:02:17.900
that the most cost effective and certainly life effective way uh we could weaken someone who
00:02:23.920
has the potential to become an enemy okay welcome it's friday um september 8th 8th september
00:02:32.220
year of alert 2023 welcome back i thank natalie for the first hour i've got the second i'll also be
00:02:39.180
here uh tomorrow morning one of the things we're doing tomorrow morning we're going to have caroline
00:02:43.620
rand is going to give us a kind of a walkthrough of the um of all the senate races that are important
00:02:50.300
i think we're gonna go through about 10 of them tomorrow and the reason is is that already as we're
00:02:56.440
sitting here the senate is actually back in the house does not come back until
00:03:01.240
tuesday and we've talked a lot about this conference that um uh mccarthy's going to have on tuesday
00:03:08.060
we're going to get the whole conference in there and try to convince them to give a uh continue
00:03:12.840
resolution and then basically get ready for an omnibus bill the exact same disaster that we've been
00:03:19.900
going through for years and years and years and now the two trillion dollar uh deficit all the lies and
00:03:26.460
misrepresentations are gone you see exactly it's going to be two trillion dollars this year it's going
00:03:30.440
to be two trillion dollars in perpetuity until some adults that start standing up uh and taking
00:03:36.240
accountability and responsibility for this mess the republican senate's not going to do it or hasn't
00:03:42.080
done it to date in fact they have exacerbated the problem 19 of them have on occasions voted for
00:03:48.020
biden's the most radical parts of his program not just the seven trillion dollars a year remember it's
00:03:53.180
seven trillion a year we're bringing in five so it's two trillion dollars a year deficits we gave you
00:03:57.780
the math eight months ago when they lied about it it's also an additional five trillion dollars of
00:04:03.040
additional spending on every boondoggle uh crony capitalism project from green new deal to increase
00:04:09.800
uh defense spending and mitt romney is one of the worst and so we've invited uh trent staggs is kind
00:04:17.280
of a preamble to are going through all these senate races tomorrow to join us he's in utah he's announcing
00:04:23.980
he's running in the republican primary against mitt romney you just saw right there mitt's one of the
00:04:29.660
biggest cheerleaders for this continued involvement in in ukraine constant involvement in ukraine and
00:04:35.000
he's one of the biggest cheerleaders back this week of mitch mcconnell and and basically doing
00:04:40.980
appropriations bills that locks in the seven trillion dollars of the spending under uh under joe
00:04:48.080
biden that's going to already we already know this year fiscal year ends 30 september we got two
00:04:52.860
trillion dollar uh deficit this year of another two trillion dollar plus next year with increased
00:04:58.160
interest rates trent staggs your assessment of mitch romney the job he's been doing
00:05:02.980
well clearly i think it's uh it's been a disastrous policy uh policies that he's pursued and why i'm
00:05:10.760
entering the race uh why our campaign has received so much support and so much traction you saw there
00:05:17.540
oh it's not my camp and biden's camp uh well yeah of course you you actually agree with biden
00:05:23.780
mitt 60 percent of the time you're voting along those lines and you have supported this spending
00:05:30.760
this reckless spending and as you said steven we have to have adults that will actually be in
00:05:35.920
washington representing us i'm a mayor i've represented my community for 10 years i've had to
00:05:41.520
balance my budget our households do it um the federal government just thinks that they are exempt from
00:05:46.960
that and they can continue these multi-trillion dollar deficits uh indefinitely and it's just a
00:05:53.860
joke um and and i saw also that you know senator romney is there already signaling defeat oh well we
00:06:00.860
can't have a government shutdown we need to come to some uh some agreement and yeah unfortunately it
00:06:07.480
looks like another continuing resolution that will be in the works here let me ask you well get to the
00:06:13.960
constituents the great state of utah all the patriots out there one of the most um maga states uh around
00:06:20.820
of patriots very conservative romney is it's not simply they saying you can't do a government shutdown
00:06:29.520
it'll be bad which is against all historical evidence when it was shut down in 13 we had big wins
00:06:34.000
in 14 what people want to see done is right but i i don't understand he doesn't really have a solution
00:06:41.380
of this what is your understanding what's the best understanding you have trent you're running
00:06:45.160
against him you guys have deconstructed all his positions what is what right now is mitt romney's
00:06:51.560
plan to stop increasing the national debt which to me ought to be the absolute first and foremost what
00:06:57.600
is his what plan has he put forward to to close the gap deficit because everything i see is that
00:07:02.360
he's actually one of mitch mcconnell's biggest cheerleaders he is yeah he's one of his foot soldiers and
00:07:08.200
he's going to do his bidding and that's why we need somebody who is a true outsider a true
00:07:12.300
conservative that can step up and push back against the establishment that's typified my career that's
00:07:16.420
what i would do you know to answer the question he doesn't have a plan he came out and moved to utah
00:07:22.340
some year you know five six years ago ran for this office he told folks look i will put us on a path
00:07:29.500
to a balanced budget he claimed he would end illegal immigration he'd stop federal spending and overreach
00:07:34.140
and he'd appoint conservative justices to the court his record is the complete opposite of that and
00:07:40.140
with respect to spending there is no plan it's just blank check after blank check very interestingly
00:07:46.540
enough we've called him out too he's rarely shows up to utah and when we put that out there just
00:07:52.820
recently and it i think forced him to kind of come back because for the first time in i don't know how
00:07:59.080
many years i actually saw him show up here during the august recess and he was touting what was he
00:08:03.960
touting he was touting the spending that he did the trillions of dollars he's voted for and the
00:08:09.080
infrastructure bill and other things that have caused this 32 to 33 trillion dollar debt that is
00:08:15.360
crushing crushing utah families with inflation and just the cost of everyday items and purchases
00:08:23.300
has gotten so out of control um you know it's really disappointing to see here is somebody in
00:08:29.320
mitt romney that purports that putting us on a path to a balanced budget and spending controls are
00:08:33.320
such a great priority or at least he claimed they were five years ago for him now to not even support
00:08:39.440
i mean when we had back in may these debt ceiling negotiations and senator lee our great senator lee
00:08:46.800
put together a letter saying we're not going to raise the debt ceiling biden unless you come to the
00:08:51.480
table negotiate and we go through some substantive spending cuts and budget reforms he had 42 other
00:08:57.060
republicans that signed on that including mitch mcconnell and mitt romney would not put his name
00:09:03.480
to that letter and i would have proudly done that i would have held the line and actually got some real
00:09:09.280
reform and some negotiations in place that are going to put us on a different path because right now
00:09:13.760
what we have is unsustainable and what we get from mitt is just more of the same talk and more of the same
00:09:18.960
spending trent when i think of utah and having spent time out there in the in the uh in the kind
00:09:27.740
of unforgiving environment that the first settlers to utah uh showed up the the mormon families and what
00:09:35.000
they made from that state one thing about utah is that they're very practical very pragmatic
00:09:41.420
what do they think when when romney's back there what are the citizens of utah think about
00:09:48.000
when he presents his plan he talks about the spending he talks about the uh these bills that
00:09:53.860
he supported of uh of biden's spending bills what what is reaction of a practical pragmatic people
00:10:00.060
yeah they they just the reaction is this person is not representing us and that's that's what i've said
00:10:07.220
i'm running for u.s senate because massachusetts doesn't need a third senator we need somebody
00:10:12.140
who's from utah you know my my whole life from elementary school to graduate school i've attended
00:10:16.780
utah schools i've raised my family here i've started businesses i've run companies i helped take a company
00:10:21.580
public in the energy space i understand this great state i understand it um and and i understand what
00:10:28.100
utahns want and utahns as you said are very pragmatic they're practical uh they're hard-working very
00:10:35.280
industrious and they do not like debt um again balancing my budget every year the last 10 years
00:10:42.440
of running my community our state does the same they expect the same of their federal government and
00:10:48.160
it hasn't been uh it has just not been something they've they've delivered uh the the spending is
00:10:54.260
out of control the regulation the regulatory framework is completely out of control we need the
00:10:59.000
reigns act immediately um we we just we've got to stop the progressivism as well that's infiltrated
00:11:06.080
and been endorsed wholeheartedly by this administration uh all the way across from the
00:11:10.280
military to uh to education they just they want to have local control and they want sensible very sensible
00:11:18.200
government and they're not getting it from senator romney and the rest of the crew right now on the
00:11:23.240
democratic side for sure but unfortunately a few within the republican party
00:11:27.920
uh transfer let you go there there was an incident out a couple of weeks ago uh in in utah and uh the
00:11:37.240
fbi had a rate on uh individual's house we know that that person was 300 pounds had a tough time getting
00:11:43.820
around he had said some things on social media uh that were uh quite frankly you know unacceptable
00:11:50.060
uh but they they were kind of this heated uh you know these heated kind of blow-off comments that
00:11:56.820
one does once on social media he was gunned down by the fbi and they refused to release the body
00:12:03.160
cams or any other information do you do are you familiar with any additional information coming out
00:12:08.920
from that or how does that set with you that this can happen to an individual regardless of what he said
00:12:14.180
on social media and and we've really had a lockdown and and got no information the reason is important
00:12:19.460
another situation happened with an army vet in tennessee and it's kind of the same stonewalling
00:12:24.960
within a couple weeks each other the fbi has gone in and essentially gunned down uh one i i i take it a
00:12:32.780
virtually disabled guy that weighed 300 pounds and supposedly a nice guy the neighbors all liked him
00:12:37.540
said he was a little out there right but but a harmless guy uh and the same thing appears to have
00:12:43.360
happened in tennessee any thoughts on that well this is why i think people don't trust the government
00:12:50.700
and why so many of these agencies you've seen have been weaponized and pursuing uh citizens they're
00:12:57.580
they're really uh going after them with with almost reckless abandon at times and yeah we don't want to
00:13:05.480
uh we don't want to condone any any violence or violent rhetoric but at the same time i think they
00:13:12.280
need to do a pretty fair analysis of whether uh you know of the threat and to come in guns a-blazing
00:13:19.020
and with all of that use of force i mean look i have a police department i've got a great chief of
00:13:24.960
police we have body cams um we have policies and procedures that that really want to put out there
00:13:35.180
as best we can be as transparent as we can i should say so that we can always have the full faith
00:13:41.220
and confidence of our of our citizens and uh for them to hold that back and not release that footage
00:13:47.740
uh as they've done time and again across the country we're certain of these episodes
00:13:51.100
is is problematic and i think it's just emblematic of why many citizens don't trust
00:13:57.780
their government and we have to be able to restore that again
00:14:00.620
trent this gets i want to take this back to the budget because you know this fight
00:14:06.720
overspending one is just the absolute scale of it and it's not sustainable and people talk about
00:14:13.800
entitlement social security medicare before you get to the entitlements before you get to the
00:14:18.000
entitlements you have to take care of just the overall scale of the spending and what that's doing
00:14:23.000
as far as driving the deficit the other aspect of it is not only are we spending ourselves in a
00:14:29.340
bankruptcy we're actually financing a woke and weaponized government now the house has taken
00:14:35.660
some real has really taken that to task and that's why there's going to be this you know this
00:14:40.460
catechism clash over the next couple weeks of of of um hardcore uh freedom caucus and others
00:14:48.580
in the house of representatives saying the scale of it's not acceptable but also what we are funding
00:14:53.380
in that's not acceptable and that woke and weaponized has got to come out romney and the guys in the
00:14:58.340
sentiment and when the senate have essentially signed off on most of this so as a united states
00:15:02.940
senator just walk me through your logic of how you would look at the budget and the appropriations
00:15:09.460
as a method to uh de-weaponize this government to get the woke out what what's your what's your line
00:15:16.720
of attack on that well we can't continue to have continuing resolutions i mean we actually have to
00:15:22.280
have an appropriations process we've got to go through well the 12 separate bills at a time you know
00:15:27.260
having talked with senator lee on this issue i think that they've laid out a really good framework
00:15:31.320
we have to have that process it has to be transparent it has to have the opportunity for
00:15:35.440
amendments and through that uh through that ability that congress has it should be uniquely theirs the
00:15:41.180
power of the purse uh those those types of programs can and should be done away with and there's
00:15:48.960
no room for that i think in the federal government i've indicated that on my website at
00:15:53.420
trentstags.com it's one of my main issues i'm hearing families here that are concerned about
00:15:59.000
that and i i say that look as your senator i will definitely be woke's worst nightmare we need to have
00:16:07.500
a complete wall of separation between woke and state and ensure that it isn't this this type of
00:16:14.760
insidious practice doesn't infiltrate across the federal government as it as it has sadly so i think
00:16:22.140
there are plenty of opportunities to go through a true appropriations process and ensure that that
00:16:29.200
funding is withheld for these types of programs i've heard many uh many in congress that have put
00:16:36.800
forth some great ideas along these lines and would wholeheartedly support those and hopefully lead on
00:16:41.780
them myself decision time's coming so mitt romney is saying there's nothing that there's no win here
00:16:48.220
by forcing biden to shut down his government do you see things in this appropriations process in
00:16:54.060
this budget if they didn't come out as a matter of principle you would take a stand on saying you
00:16:58.960
can't have my vote and if biden's got to shut it down so be it sir yeah i mean absolutely we need to
00:17:06.740
be able to take a stand and and say if if these types of woke practices i mean i love what senator
00:17:12.520
tuberville is doing right now and holding the line uh with respect to uh the the misuse of military
00:17:19.520
appropriations you know and in paying for abortions and other things that's uh that's something that
00:17:25.060
you just you can't stand for we actually have to have a budget too that's trending in the right
00:17:29.240
direction like you just you just stated uh this can't go on indefinitely we've got to have things that
00:17:35.420
are are getting us back to a level of fiscal sanity and not just continuing the status quo and
00:17:42.320
fortunately i have seen that at every layer of government it's just endemic it's something that
00:17:47.100
happens and you have to have folks that have experience doing that like i have in actually
00:17:53.120
getting out uh bringing uh bringing federalism back and allowing uh localities and individuals
00:18:02.440
to take over much much of what is being done at higher layers of government including the federal
00:18:09.220
government so absolutely there are some some must-haves that's that's something that we have
00:18:15.040
to have this budget has to be moving back in the right direction uh mayor staggs how do people find
00:18:23.540
out more about your senate run because this is going to be one of the epic battles i think all the
00:18:28.060
indications now i was of the belief that mitt romney might wave off and run third party i think caroline
00:18:33.200
is going to address this tomorrow i think a lot of people are saying that it looks like he may be all
00:18:37.440
in uh for re-election still not be it still hasn't been determined yet but how do people find out more
00:18:43.040
about you yeah it hasn't and we're seeing more and more signs that he could run he keeps delaying this
00:18:48.940
decisioning now till late fall um he's been a much more active the last few weeks like we said we
00:18:53.600
finally forced him back out to utah and he's he's uh the the the way this segment started um taking
00:19:01.420
media here locally is is unique and rare but at trendstags.com people can go there um can donate
00:19:08.900
can help out the campaign we've been very very blessed we've now received small dollar donations
00:19:13.440
from people across all 50 states from patriots and conservatives across all 50 states uh thousands
00:19:18.400
of donors we need that we need that this campaign is truly funded by you by patriots out there i am not
00:19:26.600
part of the establishment i don't have lobbyists that are contributing to my campaign or super packs or
00:19:33.280
other things that that really are controlling me um mitt has the establishment behind him he's going to
00:19:40.000
have that as you indicated uh with with doing mcconnell's bidding and so we want to be able to reclaim
00:19:47.020
this this is important not just for the state of utah to put somebody that truly reflects utah values
00:19:51.800
and true conservative into dc representing the state but it's it's very important for the entire
00:19:57.560
country and that's why i think we've received these donations we've got so many great folks supporting
00:20:02.680
and we're going to need that to continue we're only about seven months out from our state convention here
00:20:08.520
in this great state of utah and we're building up more and more every single day this this coalition
00:20:15.260
continues to build with scores of national and local endorsements um i'm excited about what's going on
00:20:23.380
and and really encouraged by all the folks that are coming out and supporting us
00:20:27.560
uh by the way i think your strategy is right you smoke him out and make you spend more time in utah
00:20:33.960
i think that his uh his ratings will definitely drop the more people see him i think the less they like
00:20:39.200
so i think it's a great strategy mayor staggs thank you for coming on the war and appreciate it
00:20:44.160
thank you again okay one of the most important uh cases going on in the country is not getting the
00:20:49.760
attention it should is the disbarment hearing i think out in orange county california of john
00:20:55.120
eastman who was really president trump or the the senior lawyer and going through trying to stop
00:21:00.880
the steal i think one of the top constitutional lawyers in the country someone's been covering it
00:21:05.480
intensely is rachel alexander rachel thank you for joining us walk us through first off just for
00:21:10.700
audience i know most people know but who john eastman is what's his importance of this why he's
00:21:15.520
named in every other uh every other case central case to the trump uh stop the steal movement and why
00:21:22.680
are they trying to disbar him john eastman is arguably the foremost constitutional legal scholar
00:21:30.640
in the country that is why this is significant they're not going after some you know person they
00:21:35.980
can label as fringe they are going after somebody who knows the law and the constitution better than
00:21:41.400
anybody and basically what's going on is they the left is going after him because they want to use this
00:21:47.840
as a precedent to scare other conservative attorneys from ever challenging elections where they believe
00:21:53.940
there was fraud and and you know doesn't even matter if it's not technically fraud illegal wrongdoing
00:21:59.800
where in the past if it wasn't involving republicans losing judges would frequently order that the trials
00:22:05.760
that uh that uh elections would be overturned and redone so this is an absolute travesty of justice i'm
00:22:13.380
i'm now in the what fourth week of covering this and it's just a kangaroo court everybody can tell from the
00:22:19.240
very beginning the judge who was donated to democrats while sitting on the bench um it's a given all of
00:22:25.740
her calls are pretty much extremely biased against eastman and pro the state bar uh allowing in all
00:22:33.240
this evidence that's absolutely irrelevant to him and the way she doesn't even understand that the
00:22:38.580
electoral count act was amended in 2022 to state that the vice president cannot decide uh disputed slates
00:22:46.720
the electors the woman is just way out of her league and eastman is essentially just non-stop
00:22:52.680
schooling her and the state bar attorney it's kind of a show yeah i know this is one of the ones that i love
00:22:59.340
about your car your coverage i want to get back and get some basics correct me if i'm wrong i'm not a lawyer
00:23:04.940
the vast majority of our audience are not lawyers in this disbarment is this like rudy and other guys are going
00:23:11.200
after is this to take his law license away to practice in the state of california so he then
00:23:16.420
wouldn't be able to teach or he then wouldn't be able to actually practice at the bar of california
00:23:21.660
he would not be able to basically make a living in california is that what they're trying to do in
00:23:25.780
orange county yes and what a lot of non-lawyers don't understand is once you're disbarred in one
00:23:32.140
state the other states reciprocity they will not let you practice either so once he's barred in
00:23:37.940
california he won't be able to practice anywhere else in the entire country now are there going to
00:23:43.320
be a few brave universities like the liberty university types that might hire him yes i believe
00:23:50.360
uh it might be the i think the kansas former attorney general might have been disbarred and i think he is
00:23:56.540
now a professor at a university like that but that's pretty much the only exception you know or you
00:24:02.720
know the bar destroyed my law license it's been to me for six months but they can't stop me from
00:24:07.440
opining all i want now as a as a legal analyst type
00:24:10.660
uh rachel can you hang on for a second because i want to get into some of the details you bring up
00:24:16.460
the electoral count act you also bring up the fact that one of the great things about following your
00:24:21.800
coverage is every day you're just you're pointing out where uh where eastman is literally almost like
00:24:28.800
teaching a seminar they're coming at him and attacking him and coming from every angle and he's
00:24:33.920
sitting there correcting them to to what the proper understanding of the constitution the proper
00:24:39.220
understanding of the law we've got rachel alexander here this is probably the most underreported story
00:24:46.120
that has massive impact in the country it's the dismarvent hearing of john eastman and john
00:24:51.520
eastman's absolutely central to everything president trump uh tried to do and really making sure that the
00:24:58.340
2020 election was not stolen eastman was the constitutional scholar on top of that okay we're
00:25:03.520
gonna take a short break we're gonna be back with rachel alexander on the trial of john eastman in a moment
00:25:09.220
these are my people this is a land where my forefathers lie these are my people

I want to tell the team, Logan and the team in Memphis, and of course my crack team here,
00:32:09.140
I'll get it over to you guys in a second so you can post it.
00:32:11.240
But, and this, I think, goes to the quality of the coverage that Richard Alexander's doing
00:32:20.620
You know, my good buddy Cernovich, who was with us in 14, 15, and 16, really one of the
00:32:25.960
key guys in the social media efforts for the Trump movement.
00:32:29.040
And everybody knows Mike has gone a little bit off the reservation over the last year
00:32:33.700
or two, but hey, he's still a, he's still a comrade in arms.
00:32:36.740
I want to quote from Cernovich who just put this up and I quote, the John Eastman disbarment
00:32:43.200
hearing has made me, that would be Cernovich, full on 2020 is stolen person.
00:32:49.800
If you've been following it, you realize what a travesty it was that John Eastman wasn't
00:33:00.260
Rachel, I want to address this right now because Cernovich is a great guy, but he hasn't been
00:33:05.500
One of his big problems, I think, was these issues related to the 2020 steal.
00:33:10.100
He says by watching it and then looking at your coverage that Cernovich, he Cernovich is
00:33:18.160
What's your assessment of that, of what's just been put out, the content that you've seen
00:33:22.860
Do you think it also will drive even-handed people that are looking at this with an open
00:33:31.820
I mean, if it influenced Cernovich, and he's a very brilliant guy, what I think is going
00:33:36.880
on there is the fact that Eastman is just the top intelligent person in the country on
00:33:50.820
The whole trial has been an absolute travesty, just watching the judge try to slip him up.
00:34:02.540
I mean, it's not just a couple little incidents a day.
00:34:05.440
It's just nonstop if you're watching my coverage.
00:34:08.340
It is like 20 outrageous, ridiculous things that would never happen in a regular court of
00:34:17.200
And, you know, I'm a longtime prosecutor and Maricopa County elections attorney.
00:34:26.780
And I think, I think the tide is starting to change.
00:34:29.900
I just know we have to be very clever about it.
00:34:33.460
You know, you can't just sit there and throw out the words election fraud because the left
00:34:38.080
They'll trick us and they'll say, well, you didn't prove election fraud.
00:34:44.660
I might not technically be called election fraud, but it is illegality.
00:34:48.500
And then, so Eastman is really good at getting out all these nuances and getting ahead of
00:34:57.160
I want to go to this because lawfare is the thing, one of the things that are coming at
00:35:01.800
It's a line of work that they hope to ensnare him.
00:35:09.220
And what is this trial showing specifically that people should be concerned about or quite
00:35:14.360
frankly, afraid of the direction of the country from a breakdown of rule of law to now essentially
00:35:19.680
the road to a totalitarian authoritarian dictatorship?
00:35:24.680
The frightening thing about lawfare is, you know, this country has three branches that govern
00:35:31.580
And if they take over this, you know, legal branch with their lawfare, that's a huge segment
00:35:41.220
And legal stuff is involved in so many aspects of our lives now.
00:35:47.200
You know, you got to dispute over the election, you go to the courts.
00:35:50.100
So if they're taking all this over, this is terrifying.
00:35:52.520
And the part that scares me, you know, as a recovering attorney is they are pretty much
00:35:57.940
scaring all of our attorneys out from ever representing us on all kinds of issues, not
00:36:03.420
just election fraud, but COVID and anything that they don't like.
00:36:09.820
You know, they came after me 12 years ago, whatever.
00:36:13.920
Every conservative election attorney I know in Arizona has either had a bar complaint
00:36:18.940
filed against them that they're fighting or they've already been disciplined.
00:36:25.180
We're not going to have anybody left to represent us if this is allowed to keep going.
00:36:30.120
Now, I want to drill down the second because this is what they're trying to do.
00:36:33.500
And not just with our top attorneys, they're also putting the law firms on notice that they
00:36:39.760
I mean, it's going to be almost impossible to you in a litigious environment.
00:36:44.720
And it's not just an election fraud like you talk about.
00:36:47.380
It's across the board on so many different elements of what MAGA is fighting for.
00:36:52.760
Talk to me about the law firms because right now, unless you're almost a sole practitioner
00:36:56.340
and they're still coming after you, if you're a firm, they go after the firms and say, well,
00:37:03.160
Or we're going to make a bar complaint, have a couple of your attorneys disbarred, which
00:37:15.060
You know, the only reason I'm the only one, you know, in the country on the conservative
00:37:18.880
side that's closely covering this is because people with my background, right, are mostly
00:37:24.000
still licensed attorneys and they can't say a word.
00:37:28.640
And so people keep saying, well, you know, there's no evidence of election fraud and
00:37:33.780
Nobody can speak up and push back who actually understands these things and is seeing all
00:37:37.700
these cases dismissed on technicalities and understands the doctrine of lashes and no
00:37:42.880
jurisdiction and, you know, all those issues like that.
00:37:47.400
And so to me, that's the broader key thing that's happening here.
00:37:52.260
We're basically shutting down an entire segment of knowledgeable people, the attorneys.
00:38:04.580
And I know the National Review crowd is punched out of this and the donors.
00:38:07.700
But if you look at lawfare, you've got Mike Lindell, who they're basically trying to bankrupt
00:38:11.820
because he's gone and supported and, you know, he's underwritten much as I think his
00:38:16.100
legal bills are going after election fraud is twenty five million dollars or north.
00:38:22.360
You've got Paxton that's being impeached in Texas.
00:38:26.800
You've got obviously the situation in Georgia with with with Fonnie Willis.
00:38:31.440
And those folks, you've got the electors in in in Michigan that I was just on a telethon
00:38:38.520
You know, the average age of these electors is like 73 years old.
00:38:41.920
I think they're looking at, I don't know, 14 to 30 years in a federal prison, millions
00:38:47.160
We know that Arizona, I think, is going to move on the electors.
00:38:53.480
Wisconsin, the governor's talking about moving on the electors.
00:38:57.420
In addition, in Arizona, there's so many suits.
00:39:00.240
In fact, next week for two days, we're going to be covering besides because we stream your
00:39:07.620
We're also going to be streaming Carrie Lakes back in court, I think, for two days next
00:39:12.700
Do do you think people understand the scale of this right now?
00:39:16.040
And I'm not even including all the Trump situation, you know, Navarro just last week.
00:39:20.480
But the lawfare part of this, they're coming after every senior person in the MAGA movement.
00:39:26.680
And in addition, they're coming for every lawyer associated with the MAGA movement.
00:39:30.440
And they're coming for any patriot that tries to step up and do their duty for the Constitution.
00:39:35.980
Do you think that do you think that people understand the scale of this warfare right now
00:39:40.760
is unlike anything that's ever happened in American political life?
00:39:47.020
I don't think we're quite to the tipping point where we're going to get, you know, most
00:39:50.920
enough people involved to make a difference yet.
00:40:00.540
But when people say, oh, you know, we can't still support Trump for president because he's
00:40:05.020
got all this baggage with them coming after him.
00:40:07.380
That's exactly the reason we need to support him.
00:40:10.540
Because if we don't, you know, fight back against all the bogus lawfare, they're just
00:40:17.200
So, you know, I don't have a big problem with DeSantis.
00:40:19.640
But if we all just move on to DeSantis right now, what are they going to do?
00:40:22.560
They're going to come after DeSantis and prosecute him.
00:40:29.840
You're saying, hey, even if you have problems with Trump, because the Trump supporters are
00:40:34.140
always, you know, MAGA and the war room posse and all of us will always be there.
00:40:38.960
But you're saying for those, a lot of those people saying about electability has got so
00:40:44.440
And you're seeing this because you're up close coverage that if we move on from Trump, it's
00:40:50.860
not like they're not going to come after the next anybody that actually goes up against
00:40:54.440
the system, anybody goes up against the radical Democrats and the kind of uniparty, they're
00:40:58.760
going to come after them using the same tactics and techniques that they came after President
00:41:06.520
If we don't stop them, they're going to make a blueprint.
00:41:10.700
They're going to have all these, you know, what do you call it, procedures all laid out,
00:41:23.340
It'll be so much easier to then take down the next attorney.
00:41:28.580
Once they're able to prosecute a few people for election fraud, like in Georgia or, you
00:41:33.260
know, D.C., then they're going to be able to prosecute any conservative who challenges
00:41:40.500
And once they've mastered the elections, I mean, it's all over.
00:41:46.640
They're coming after President Trump now in the 14th Amendment.
00:41:49.140
I've said from the beginning, we've had Dershowitz and others on.
00:41:52.000
Mike Davis, another constitutional scholar, saying there's nothing based in the Constitution
00:41:57.120
They're trying to use the post-Civil War, a 14th Amendment, I think, Section 3 or Article
00:42:05.940
They're trying to get to the state assemblies or trying to get into the general assemblies
00:42:09.580
of state to actually get one of these secretaries of state to take him off the ballot.
00:42:13.900
And we know now that there's a lot of this is funded by the by the Republican elite.
00:42:20.660
Do you believe, besides going after people like Eastman and besides doing things like going
00:42:26.300
after the 14th Amendment, is there any other things you see on the horizon that we can anticipate
00:42:31.300
where they're either going to come after President Trump or the MAGA movement?
00:42:34.800
Well, the one thing that I have really noticed is that unlike us on the right, the left is
00:42:44.700
looking for every possible way it can take Trump out illegally or not illegally.
00:42:50.640
And if it is illegal, they're going to try to wait to stretch it and pretend like it is
00:42:58.320
So I haven't completely brainstormed about a lot of different ideas.
00:43:03.220
As a journalist, my big concern is being sued with a libel lawsuit.
00:43:08.360
So I believe that that is one angle we're going to see.
00:43:14.400
But, you know, they're going to come up with all these crazy new ways to sue us.
00:43:18.780
You know, the racketeering one, you know, in Georgia, I think we're going to see a lot more
00:43:24.980
racketeering lawsuits because they're so broad and vague.
00:43:27.460
I've written about them a lot because, you know, I was the head attorney on one against
00:43:36.200
So I think people in the MAGA movement, we're going to see lawsuits filed against us.
00:43:41.000
And I just want to add, we just need to start supporting the conservative attorneys.
00:43:48.080
I'm actually trying to start a group to support conservative attorneys and also go after the
00:43:53.000
left-wing attorneys like the J-65 project does.
00:43:55.700
You know, we've got attorneys like Alex Haberman representing John Eastman.
00:43:59.940
You know, he's likely to be the next target himself.
00:44:04.180
And, you know, I'm sure you know Carrie Lake, who has great attorneys, but they are not
00:44:08.980
So our side really just needs to start backing these attorneys up and not letting them hang
00:44:16.880
And so you're saying RICO charges, racketeering charges, defamation, libel, they're going
00:44:21.780
to go after the others that this is, and you're right, the Democrats, as epitomized by Mark
00:44:27.040
Elias, they have great, they're all evil, but they're very smart as far as every aspect of
00:44:36.300
They look at, they look at the law as a weapon, right?
00:44:39.480
We look, we have a very classical or kind of American view of the law, right?
00:44:48.120
They look at the law as something that they can weaponize and then use against their opponents
00:44:53.680
And I think that's the cultural difference that we've got to start thinking of.
00:44:57.180
We have to think, we have to start thinking in the terms they think in, because they have
00:45:03.260
And that's why I think the Eastman trial is so important.
00:45:05.440
What should people look forward in the next couple of weeks?
00:45:08.000
Walk us through where we are in the Eastman trial.
00:45:12.320
Well, the Eastman team finally got to put on its own case beginning yesterday, which means
00:45:20.040
its own witnesses, and it gets to direct examine them.
00:45:23.720
And so basically today we're in the middle of testimony from Wisconsin former Supreme
00:45:28.940
Court Justice Michael Gableman, which has just been bombshell testimony, as you know.
00:45:35.700
So we're going to be hearing more of that the next day or two.
00:45:38.240
And then we're going to hear from some character witnesses of Eastman.
00:45:42.240
And I'll be honest, this judge, she's trying to keep all of Eastman's witnesses out of the
00:45:48.960
Yet she's let so many witnesses in for the bar that have nothing to do with Eastman.
00:45:54.360
They either got involved with it way after he was involved with the 2020 election challenges,
00:45:58.800
or they were in some state that he wasn't even working in.
00:46:02.200
So we're going to see them fight it out, see which one of those witnesses are included.
00:46:05.500
And there's probably going to be another week going of the trial next week, and then another
00:46:10.500
few days whenever they can coordinate with people's schedules.
00:46:16.560
I want to make sure people know how to get to your coverage of Eastman's trial, because
00:46:22.380
And number two, how do we get to your other websites, social media, and your other writings?
00:46:27.880
My coverage is pretty much going to be all on thestarnewsnetwork.com, and it's also run
00:46:40.620
That's where I'm doing all this live coverage of the trial.
00:46:43.180
My username there is Rach underscore IC, and my personal website is intellectualconservative.com.
00:46:50.800
Rachel, Michael Patrick Leahy and the team over at the Star News Network, fantastic job.
00:46:57.480
John Eastman's a good man, and he's fighting a good fight.
00:47:10.500
Michael Patrick Leahy, one of the great—you know, you've got Revolver.
00:47:14.820
You've got all the star newspapers throughout the country.
00:47:21.860
So we have so many different assets out there now, and so many more I can name right now
00:47:27.000
But you've got so many of these emerging alternative media that give some tremendous coverage.
00:47:38.020
We've got an all-star cast of some of our heavies because we've got to break down.
00:47:43.960
They're working around the clock going through these appropriations.
00:47:46.320
But I think they start voting on them next week.
00:47:48.980
In fact, wait for it, none of the Woken Weaponized is out.
00:47:52.980
I think, unless I see other details, I think it's been terrible.
00:47:56.040
There's going to be a huge difference in the bid and the ask, even if the House can get
00:48:01.240
to the point of actually passing these by the end of the month, which I don't think
00:48:05.900
That's why this big conference is coming in that he's going to have on Tuesday night.
00:48:12.420
Remember, we need you fully armed to be an active part of this.
00:48:15.860
This show and the audience, you're an active part of this drama.
00:48:24.140
One way to do that is to make sure you're as knowledgeable as possible.
00:48:33.200
Plus, we've got a supplemental on the Dervin, on the road to Dervin, South Africa, this
00:48:40.280
It gets you up to speed on kind of the macro analysis of what's happening.
00:48:44.860
And then you can call, you can talk to, you can talk to Philip Patrick or the team at Birch
00:48:49.200
Gold and start to ask the questions about gold as part of your portfolio.
00:48:53.880
The best way to start that, I believe, is to ask them just about the current situation
00:48:59.780
of currencies throughout the world and what's happening and what are central banks doing.
00:49:03.380
Central banks are the keys to this throughout the world.
00:49:08.060
Besides raising rates and printing money, are focused on a central bank digital currency.
00:49:16.380
The other central banks of the world, and both Ron Paul and Zero Hedge reported this today,
00:49:22.980
is that the central banks, particularly in the BRICS nations, the global south, are buying
00:49:31.120
And remember, she, for a host of reasons, she did not go to the G20.
00:49:35.060
But one of the reasons is he thinks he's got his apparatus now with the BRICS.
00:49:40.840
And the BRICS, the global south, control most of the world's resources.
00:49:45.620
And they are tired and fed up with the printing of money and the overspending of the United States,
00:49:50.400
which is leading to a decrease in the purchasing power of the U.S. dollar.
00:49:54.020
And they're tired of the inflation, so they're binding together.
00:49:59.180
They haven't come up with a basket of currencies yet, but they're starting the process of
00:50:02.460
de-dollarization, of doing transactions for resources in their own currencies and not using
00:50:15.300
But the one thing you can understand is why the central banks of the world are buying gold
00:50:19.240
at record rates and why the Federal Reserve is working on a digital currency.
00:50:24.660
Okay, before we go tonight, of course, later tonight, and we're going to be live streaming
00:50:28.300
this up on Getter, President Trump's going to be in South Dakota with Kristi Noem.
00:50:34.680
It was a very interesting report by a correspondent we know quite well over at NBC.
00:50:41.660
Let's go ahead and play that, and then I'll comment on the other side.
00:50:45.300
I had conversations with several of the folks here waiting outside for Donald Trump's arrival
00:50:50.940
in Kristi Noem's, and there was groups of 10 of them, I asked, who they would support
00:50:56.080
to be Donald Trump's vice presidential pick, just open-ended.
00:51:00.240
And 7 out of 10, Yasmin, told me the name Carrie Lake, unprompted.
00:51:05.440
Just one of them told me Kristi Noem, and just one of them said Nikki Haley here.
00:51:10.400
So Kristi Noem, there is actually some criticism of her among some of these Trump loyalists,
00:51:16.040
some question just how faithful she would be in the role of vice president.
00:51:19.580
So this is a complicated question that Donald Trump, if he were to win the Republican nomination,
00:51:25.800
And another gentleman told me, why would he pick Kristi Noem?
00:51:33.380
But the question is, who is that somebody else?
00:51:35.220
You know, Carrie Lake has talked about running for the U.S. Senate in Arizona.
00:51:38.740
Kristi Noem is a key figure in this because of her prominence and because of her loyalty
00:51:47.300
Okay, that's Vaughn Halyard, one of the best reporters out there.
00:51:56.280
Tonight, I think it's 9.30 Eastern Daylight Time.
00:52:05.380
The president will be out there with Kristi Noem.
00:52:09.500
Remember, that's a crowd of pure MAGA of President Trump.
00:52:12.620
I think it's going to be 7,000 plus at this gathering tonight.
00:52:18.380
But 7 of 10, 70% support Carrie Lake for vice president in the great state of South Dakota.
00:52:32.680
I think we'll be streaming over at Rumble, too.
00:52:36.480
Then tomorrow morning, we're going to be back on fire.
00:52:41.580
Throughout the weekend, I'll be coming up on Getter.
00:52:43.400
I really want to thank the Memphis team for doing all this.
