A federal judge has ordered former White House strategist Steve Bannon to report to prison by July 1st for his refusal to cooperate with the January 6th Congressional Committee investigation. Steve Bannon has been a vocal supporter of President Trump and has been one of his closest confidants.
00:00:03.280A federal judge ordered former Trump advisor Steve Bannon to report to prison by July 1st.
00:00:10.000For his refusal to cooperate with the January 6th Congressional Committee investigation.
00:00:15.100Trump's former campaign manager and chief White House strategist will become federal inmate number 05635509.
00:00:22.300The Department of Justice formally urged the high court not to intervene here and to let Mr. Bannon face accountability for his actions.
00:00:31.120But remarkably, the Justice Department isn't the only group that lobbied the court about Steve Bannon today.
00:00:37.680Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and several other Republican members of the House voted to make the formal position of the U.S. House of Representatives.
00:00:46.500The formal position that the January 6th Committee did not have the authority to do the work that it did.
00:00:52.460A dark reality and one that we have to wrestle with to understand what is really happening in our nation's politics right now.
00:06:46.340We've got Poso and we've got Charlie Kirk.
00:06:48.100Jack Posobiec, are your thoughts tonight on the eve of a federal prisoner 05635509 becoming an official political prisoner in the Danbury federal prison tomorrow?
00:07:41.420OK, I'm excited because MAGA is going to let out a roar tonight and tomorrow.
00:07:45.860And the next day and the next day and burn burn it all down till we get to November 5th, where President Trump's going to win in a landslide.
00:08:04.300So I just want to make sure, you know, we're jacked here in Danbury tonight.
00:08:07.520Look at the results that are coming out of France.
00:08:12.320Look at the results that swept Europe just one month ago.
00:08:15.640Look at Nigel Farage, the massive, massive crowd that he's putting together with the Brexiteers reconstituted in the reform party, which may, by the way, take the Tories down to not two seats, not one seat.
00:08:31.400But zero, a big, fat, stinking zero for the Tories, the conservative establishment party in the UK, who supposedly has been in control for 15 years, throwing open their borders, trying to throw sand in the gears of the Brexit process.
00:09:22.560If you look, hang on, if you go back, if you go back to Thursday, if you go back to Thursday, with now we know it's a Democrat coup who took all the votes away from the people in the Democrat primary.
00:10:56.940Charlie Kirk, it's historic night on the eve of so much going on.
00:11:00.860By the way, the last 72 hours have been, I think, politically some of the most important 72 hours in modern American political history, sir.
00:11:12.060And that includes your pending entrance into the federal prison system, Steve.
00:11:17.560So let's make sure the audience understands the dynamics of what's happening here.
00:11:21.340That debate did not go nearly as planned.
00:11:23.780That was supposed to be Biden's big comeback.
00:12:19.380This is only going to galvanize the base.
00:12:21.800And Steve, here's my pledge to you, Steve.
00:12:24.760While you're in Connecticut and you are a political prisoner, no different than Rubischov in Darkness at Noon by Arthur Kessler, no different than the political prisoners of the past.
00:12:35.060Here's my commitment to you and the war room posse.
00:12:37.520We are going to double and triple down at Turning Point Action and hire more ballot chasers and register more voters.
00:12:43.660We are going to increase our resolve because I still have the freedom and liberty that you do not have starting tomorrow at high noon on the eastern seaboard.
00:12:52.660But, Steve, while you are there not able to use your agency the same way I am, we are going to continue to lead the expansion of the MAGA movement all the way through to November.
00:13:03.760You see, they're trying to do this as a way to intimidate you.
00:13:06.640And it started with the J6ers and then the moms and dads at school board meetings and then the folks that were going to Catholic mass and spying on them.
00:13:14.420And then Peter Navarro and then Steve Bannon and then Donald Trump.
00:13:17.960Understand, they are picking off targets intentionally.
00:13:21.060Peter Navarro, the author of the entire idea of the new MAGA deal.
00:13:25.220Steve Bannon, one of the top lieutenants and commanders of the ethos of the MAGA doctrine and the MAGA agenda.
00:13:31.320And then, of course, Donald Trump, our five-star general himself.
00:13:33.920They are trying to destroy this movement.
00:13:35.780Steve, you've articulated it beautifully.
00:13:38.600Steve, can you, for the audience, make sure they understand this is not a time for sorrow or for crying, not a time for letters, not a time for care packages.
00:13:46.740Steve, how do you want this audience to act?
00:13:49.340Do they, you want them to show a big, hey, don't, yeah, no, no, no, no, no letters because I'm not going to have time to read them because I'm still working every day to elect President Trump and MAGA candidates all over.
00:14:01.600And also given, they can't shut down my First Amendment rights.
00:14:05.140I'm not going to run a business, but they're not going to shut down my First Amendment rights.
00:14:07.840I'm going to tell Merrick Garland every day that he's corrupt on January, on January 20th, he and Lisa Monaco are going to start the investigation and they're going to start every day.
00:14:32.820They've got federal agents all over Jim Hoft and trying to shut down Gateway Pundit.
00:14:37.160Epoch Times is now getting federal charges against them.
00:14:40.700You can go to anybody from James O'Keefe to John Eastman.
00:14:45.380A hundred, a hundred of the people driving the MAGA movement and back of President Trump are either indicted, bankrupt, debanked, deplatformed.
00:14:53.560Listen, and they sit there on ABC News and NBC News and said, you talk about retribution.
00:16:11.520But now the pressure is going to intensify on Juan Mershon to put Trump, not just house arrest in Trump Tower, but behind bars.
00:16:21.860Steve, walk us through what your vision is for what do you think is going to happen with Juan Mershon July 11th, just three days prior to the convocation of the Republican National Convention.
00:16:33.560President Trump shouldn't get anything.
00:17:03.300They have 56 Americans in federal prison in a pretrial detention for years, rotting in a federal prison on a charge they made up that was so egregious.
00:17:16.740Even Justice Brown Jackson wrote an opinion and was on our side of the football.
00:17:21.780This is how evil – this is Weissman, that crew at MSNBC.
00:17:44.460And we're going to have somebody here in a second that I want to talk about congressional investigations because we need to step the game up.
00:17:51.680We're not playing like Nancy Pelosi plays.
00:17:54.920We're not playing with fire with fire.
00:17:56.620In fact, let me bring – we've got a very special guest, and it just happens to be randomly that she's on the oversight committee that oversees federal prisons.
00:19:09.760They illegitimately took over in January of 2021.
00:19:13.700That's when I became a member of Congress.
00:19:15.920And I am so proud to say that I objected to Joe Biden's Electoral College votes along with many of my colleagues.
00:19:21.900But I want to talk about the January 6th committee, Steve, because people need to understand how it was set up, why it's illegitimate, and why it has been a complete failure in our Republican-controlled Congress not to have voted that the January 6th committee is completely illegitimate.
00:19:39.280And completely wipe out these contempt of Congress charges that you have been – that you're going to prison for tomorrow.
00:20:45.260The five Republicans that were chosen for that committee were Jim Jordan, Jim Banks, Troy Nels, Kelly Armstrong, and one other one was chosen.
00:20:55.220She rejected Jim Jordan and Jim Banks.
00:21:24.120And on January 6th, our job was going to be to object and make the case of why these Electoral College votes were completely illegitimate and why they should be stricken down.
00:21:36.680So Nancy Pelosi set up the January 6th committee.
00:21:39.140She rejected the Republican appointees.
00:21:42.360That means that she set up the committee against her own House rules.
00:21:46.680That makes the committee illegitimate.
00:21:49.000Then she chose herself to Republicans.
00:21:52.520She put two Republicans on instead of five Republicans.
00:24:04.160For your information, just because Steve Bannon is going to prison for four months does not mean you're going to silence him.
00:24:11.600It does not mean you're going to shut down the war room posse.
00:24:14.860And you don't have any control or power over any of this group.
00:24:18.460What you just did is you multiplied it by 10,000.
00:24:22.400This whole movement is going to grow and you're responsible for it.
00:24:26.220So if you hate all of us, you hate Steve Bannon, you hate the people and look down on the people that watch the war room and you think that they're beneath you because you think you're better than them and you think your horrible, stupid networks are better than them.
00:24:59.940And putting Steve Bannon in jail is going to make more of them hate you.
00:25:04.260That's what you need to know, number one.
00:25:06.660And I am happy to deliver that message.
00:25:09.140Number two, in the House, the House Republicans, the men that I work with and many of the members of the House, you guys need to grow some balls because you need to realize what we're up against.
00:25:19.900Steve Bannon is going to jail and all the people that live in your district that voted for you and voted for us and gave us the power and donated money to your campaign.
00:25:29.060Let me tell you how pissed off they are going to be because Steve Bannon is going to prison for four months.
00:25:35.660They are going to be furious, and I hope they call your offices nonstop.
00:25:39.700Let me tell you what we should be doing.
00:25:41.500We pass all these stupid resolutions that mean absolutely nothing, declaring this and declaring that and declaring all this other garbage.
00:25:50.040Why can't we do something about the January 6th committee?
00:25:53.160We should have an actual House committee, one that's not just putting out a report, one that's actually subpoenaing people, hauling their asses in, holding them accountable.
00:39:16.200Listen, they think they have this theory that if they take out Trump and they get Tucker Carlson fired and they liquidate Alex Jones and they keep MTG off committees for a first term in Congress, unheard of.
00:39:28.480If they take away the law license of Rudy Giuliani and bankrupt one of the greatest men in this country, if they bankrupt the Hoffs over at Gateway Pundit and John Eastman, I can go down and down and down and get parents to go on to school boards intimidated.
00:39:46.280If they can go take the little Catholic churches, the Latin Mass Catholic churches, and intimidate them.
00:39:51.760If we just sit there and say, oh, woe is me, then we lose.
00:40:01.280This movement is getting bigger every day.
00:40:03.020Why did Joe Biden roll the dice and debate President Trump on Thursday five months before the campaign simply because he's so far down?
00:40:14.700He's so far behind because African-Americans, Hispanics, Asian-Americans, people under 29 years old.
00:40:22.880Everybody is coming to MAGA, two-thirds of the country is to MAGA, and they're coming because they understand that this is about taking their country back and stopping this invasion, stopping the forever war, stopping the madness on Capitol Hill.
00:40:36.280They think if they can decapitate that and do it with 50 negative pieces on Charlie Kirk and turning points terrible, and trust me, Charlie Kirk's going to get an IRS investigation.
00:40:46.720They're already, I'm sure, going after Charlie Kirk in every different aspect.
00:40:50.440If we act like we're intimidated, they're going to win.
00:40:54.080Here's why I'm so – look, would I rather not spend the next four months there?
00:41:01.980My team and our audience will step up to the plate.
00:41:05.760That's why I next man up because this is a 20-year project to take our country back.
00:41:10.440A lot of us are not going to be around in a couple of years.
00:41:13.020President Trump is 78 years old and had the burden of the world put on him, including being not just a company strip, but in a couple of weeks he's going to be sentenced to prison.
00:41:24.920Donald Trump, who gave us three and a half, four years of peace and prosperity as president.
00:41:55.480We need to pick up seats in the House.
00:41:57.780Number one, if we don't hold the House, Donald Trump may not be president, even with the landslide win on 3 November.
00:42:06.020Because Raskin has said, based upon the J6, we're not going to – the J6 committee, he's an insurrectionist, and we are not going to certify his election.
00:42:19.720And these people are up in your face about this.
00:42:22.260So that's why, Charlie, in every aspect of this, I'm enthusiastic because I see people coming together.
00:42:43.240You know, that's exactly – Jack, I want to throw it back to you.
00:42:45.060Instead of writing a letter to Steve Bannon in a federal prison, go take out and go write to your 100 closest neighbors and say, I'm worried about the country.
00:42:56.480Look, I love the wearing of MAGA gear in public.
00:43:04.520I was actually just coming from somewhere where I saw a guy wearing – and people know I live in the D.C. area, so this isn't exactly MAGA country.
00:43:12.620I saw a guy wearing I'll be back shirt with Donald Trump, and I walked up to him.
00:43:16.740And I do this every time I see somebody wearing Trump gear, wearing MAGA gear.
00:43:20.460You got to walk up to them and say, hey, that's a great shirt.
00:43:24.480And you have to be out there to let people know that it is true.
00:43:28.680And this is why, by the way, when we talk about getting together, we don't just talk about – so, yes, and Steve mentioned, of course, we talk about reciprocity in the new book.
00:43:36.680But we also talk about the small networks.
00:44:25.900So you must keep the small network sacrosanct and then build upon that.
00:44:30.680So build – oh, Charlie's putting the hat on there.
00:44:33.700My hat's, of course, in the other room right now.
00:44:35.640But the point is when you build those small networks – and this is something anyone can do, whether it's in your church, whether you've got a pool club for the summer.
00:44:44.880You might not be able to build a social media network like Elon Musk or like Donald Trump did.
00:44:50.800You might not be able to go and run a massive campaign, but you know what you have?
00:44:55.100You've got a backyard, and you've got a neighborhood, and you've got a barbecue that's coming up on the 4th of July.
00:45:00.580So when you have that 4th of July – and by the way, don't come right off the top rope with these people and say, I need you at the polls.
00:45:22.420That being said, though, understand the map because there are states now like New York State, like New Jersey, like Minnesota, and especially Virginia.
00:45:35.160We are expanding the map, and if you are MAGA, you need to become ultra MAGA in your territory.
00:45:41.100Guys, guys, let me ask you a question because Thursday night changed everything.
00:45:46.240Biden asked for that because they're down.
00:45:48.260What do you recommend to the audience to expand it out from people you think might be MAGA or might be independents to actually go to Democrats and tell them, do you see what they've done?
00:45:58.020Do you see how they've taken your rights?
00:46:26.000How can you say that you stand on the side of democracy if you do not have another primary?
00:46:31.600How do the Democrats sit there and lecture us about insurrection while they're trying to launch an insurrection against their own candidate?
00:46:37.640Against, by the way, a candidate who is the sitting president of the United States.
00:46:41.300By the way, if he does not run, he should resign.
00:46:45.200He should resign as president right now, and they should admit that Kamala Harris should be the acting president.
