• Ambassador Monica Crowley discusses events leading up to July 4th, including the Great American State Fair, cultural programming, military bands, and President Trump’s scheduled speeches.
• Emphasis on unity and nonpartisan celebration:
  “This is not about politics... it is a celebration of America’s founders and the principles on which they gifted us this incredible republic.” (Ambassador Crowley, [03:02])
• Major events:
  • State Fair on the National Mall (June 25–July 10), with all states and territories represented, attracting tens of thousands.

2. Supreme Court Ruling: Mail-In Ballot Counting

Segment Start: [30:05]

Key Guest: Fallon Gallagher

• Ruling summary: The Supreme Court upheld Mississippi's law allowing mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day to be counted if received within five days, affecting 18 states and territories ([30:09]).
• Key insight: The decision is seen as a “narrow ruling… a big win for democracy,” but is also viewed as a setback for the Trump administration, which had intervened on behalf of the RNC to argue for strict Election Day cutoffs ([30:09–32:17]).
• Quotes:
  • “This is going to have massive implications for the midterm elections because eighteen states and territories have laws like Mississippi on the books.” (Fallon Gallagher, [30:09])
  • “The way that this court has ruled today in a five-four ruling, it is a loss for President Trump.” (Fallon Gallagher, [32:10])

---

3. Conservative Backlash & Calls to Action

Key Voices: Steve Bannon, Mike Davis

• Reaction to SCOTUS decision is highly critical; Bannon and Davis express concern that extended vote counting increases opportunities for election fraud and diminishes voter confidence.

• Sharp language against the court’s reasoning:

  • “There is something called the Elections Clause under the Constitution… election day for federal elections… that means that according to a Fifth Circuit ruling that ballots have to be cast and received by Election Day… But Amy Coney Barrett… just totally screwed us on what election day means.” (Mike Davis, [33:43–35:35])
  • “This is about accessibility and access. When they say access they want basically a month in advance and a half a month to a month… so it’s two months. They essentially want enough time so they can steal it.” (Steve Bannon, [36:59–38:04])
  • “Election day means the day the Democrats find the number of votes after the election to declare themselves the winner.” (Mike Davis, [40:48])

• Political stakes:

  • Urgency for passage of the “Save America Act” to eliminate state “grace periods” and enforce strict Election Day deadlines ([32:22–33:16; 39:55–43:54]).
  • Davis argues Senate Republicans should cancel August recess to pass the act:
    “Recess is for kids. They need to get back in the Senate… August recess, we debate the Save America Act; I guarantee you the Senate will pass it.” (Mike Davis, [44:35–46:31])

---

4. Further Supreme Court Rulings – Presidential Powers

Key Segment: [46:31–49:34]

• FTC vs. Federal Reserve Board:

  • The Court ruled the president can fire commissioners at the Federal Trade Commission, but not governors at the Federal Reserve Board.
  • Davis critiques this as a political, not constitutional, distinction:
    “We have three branches of government… but I just knew there’s this little thing in Washington called politics.” (Mike Davis, [48:14])

• Reflections on Supreme Court appointees:

  • Criticism of Justice Amy Coney Barrett's jurisprudence and skepticism toward appointing law professors in the future:
    “I don’t think we’ll be picking professors for future Supreme Court vacancies. We need people who are bold and fearless.” (Mike Davis, [49:34])

---

5. Broader Cultural Conversation – Decline of Traditional Values

Speaker: Douglas Murray [16:43–26:16, 21:07–21:33]

• Murray delivers a monologue tracing cultural, educational, and generational changes that affect perceptions of right and wrong, linking the decline of traditional values to current civic and political conflicts.
• Notable quote:
  • “The only reason the ‘Sex and the City’ liberalism of the 1990s was fine was because we were anchored by the small ‘c’ conservatism of our parents and grandparents.” (Douglas Murray, [21:07])

---

Notable Quotes & Moments

• “This is the primal scream of a dying regime… Pray for our enemies because we’re going medieval on these people.” – Steve Bannon [00:03]
• “Jeffferson… submitted his final draft for congressional review… and they came back with edits. As a writer, we never like an editor saying you gotta change this!” – Monica Crowley [01:39]
• “Eighteen states and territories have something called a grace period… Trump was hoping the Supreme Court would say that’s not allowed, and they didn’t.” – Unknown Political Analyst [32:38]
• “Election Day means election day plus five days after in Mississippi. And who knows in what other states, whatever you know Amy Coney Barrett decides when she wakes up that morning what election day means.” – Mike Davis [35:22]
• “Recess is for kids... They need to get back in the Senate. August recess, we debate the Save America Act; I guarantee you the Senate will pass it.” – Mike Davis [44:35]
• “We need people who are bold and fearless… I think I don’t think we’ll be picking professors for future Supreme Court vacancies.” – Mike Davis [49:34]
• “This is about accessibility and access. When they say access, they want basically a month in advance and a half a month to a month… They essentially want enough time so they can steal it.” – Steve Bannon [36:59]

[Douglas Murray]

ago we all saw the same footage a young man called henry novak barely out of childh handcuffed on the ground begging the police for help and what followed was the confusion of our commentators as they struggled to explain how our young police officers sworn to protect the public could behave in such a way no one seemed to have a convincing answer but when you spend a lifetime in schools it's pretty clear what's going on those young police officers are not a special case they're collateral damage and the pattern runs far further afield than policing last september charlie kirk was shot and within hours young people were celebrating all over the internet despite the fact that his two little children would have to grow up without their father many of us looked on in disbelief what has happened to the moral core of our young people something has changed profoundly in how our young people see the world those police officers were not evil they were not incompetent they were terrified terrified of being seen as racist charlie kirk held views young people find objectionable and so his death was cause for celebration henry novak's attacker was a brown man so the police's deepest instinct to protect the victim was overridden by their most powerful fear being accused of racism the police are not special they're what some of our young people have become so consumed by white guilt that they will do crazy irrational and inhumane things rather than risk being seen as racist unless we try to explain this change in our moral core and the moral core of our young people and why we are witnessing this culture change across many western countries we cannot pretend to care about the west our profound lack of interest in the moral values surrounding our children has caused our civilizational collapse the reason the younger generation see things as they do is because they have been taught to view people in two camps those who are oppressed and those who are oppressors and in their eyes charlie kirk was an oppressor so his death did not warrant grief the man who killed henry novak belonged to the oppressed class so the police's job was to protect him not the dying man on the ground this is not cruelty or incompetence this is white guilt and we are the ones who have taught this to our children we the boomers the gen xers the older millennials we are responsible for not teaching our children the difference between right and wrong we we are the ones who immersed our children in a culture of victimhood which is at odds with the culture of personal responsibility we all grew up in a culture we've very stupidly taken for granted as little as forty or fifty years ago the bedrock of traditional small c conservative values that built the west were commonplace in our schools and in our general culture

[Unknown Supportive Speaker]

through the most difficult of times and through operation metro surge we all saw that they tried to come before some of us and when that happens we say that you're coming for all of us in minneapolis we love our neighbors in minneapolis we do not see you as immigrants we see you as our family you're our brothers you are our sisters you have done so much for this incredible city and for that we stand with you

[Douglas Murray]

upon a time we all knew that traditional values gave us a chance at a meaningful life all the grandmothers knew it all the pastors knew it even the teachers knew it so why don't our young people know it now we boomers gen xers and older millennials think school is just about teaching algebra your kid's science teacher not so good no big deal just get the kid a tutor and sure they're on social media but but we had tv and we assumed they're the same parents are busy working and while your own parents didn't war game your upbringing it just sort of happened somehow you grew up without too much effort and you turned out just fine you know the difference between right and wrong so why would you war game the upbringing of your own children because raising a kid in the twenty first century is a different order of magnitude of time we have taken for granted the values from our elders and we have missed the fact that we are the elders now the only reason the sex and the city liberalism of the nineteen nineties was fine was because we were anchored by the small c conservatism of our parents and our grandparents do you ever wonder why gen z behave so differently in the workplace not all of them sure but we all know they tend to be more performative than older generations tend to value feelings more and don't really embody the small c conservative values of duty to others or real sacrifice instead of the performative kind instead young people swim in a culture of instant gratification and live your best life you do you be who you want to be and if you think gen z is bad just you wait till you see gen alpha the culture shift comes from what children learn at school and online ask any young person what history they learned at school and they'll tell you hitler ask them what else slavery ask them what else american civil rights in fact what little they know of history will be all about black and brown people fighting for equality against the white man women fighting men for the vote gay and trans people fighting for various rights our young people have been taught that history is simply one long story about various groups struggling under the oppressive dead white man out with dickens shakespeare kipling and wordsworth we must decolonize who history is taught through an oppressor lens the triangular slave trade white men held the power what about britain ending the slave trade more than a quick mention if at all no what of the arab slave trade that lasted three times as long as the triangular slave trade mmm no okay so gcse history in britain is often taught as migration through time so the idea that britain has always been a land of immigrants is important embedded in our children's heads most schools would prefer to concentrate learning about the tiny number of black people who existed in tudor england over a thorough analysis of england's break from rome medieval history becomes her story and is told through the eyes of eleanor of aquitaine because after all she was a woman not to mention weeks on king mansa museum of mali because he was a black muslim his bearing on british institutions laws and faith is non existent and the fact that he is said to have been the richest man in history thanks in part to his massive slave owning society is a detail somehow that teachers rarely ever teach but it isn't just our schools it's our general culture too take your kids to a museum or an art gallery in any western country and you'll find the same narrative as an example when learning about aviation in london's science museum and the extraordinary feat that is man making massive machines move in the sky a write up on the wall explains that women and black people were historically bunched from aviation schools and the military similarly james watt the man who invented the steam engine and is considered the founder of the industrial revolution has a write up on the wall explaining that his early career involved slave trafficking with a bonus analysis of the whole of britain's complicity in the slave trade they flatten the entire human story and all of its complexities into the narrative of oppressor and oppressed leaving young people unable to see the world in any

[Steve Bannon]

other terms if the three hundred fifty

[Stephen K. Bannon]

thousand temporary protective status holders right now start applying for permanent status start applying for visas will they not be deported is that a way for them to stay in the us legally well

[Steve Bannon]

it

[Stephen K. Bannon]

depends on if they qualify or not underneath some visas when you overstay your visa you have to go back to the country you came from underneath tps while it is still while it is still in order you're able to apply for different status now that doesn't mean that it's going to be accepted there's a lot of things that take into consideration first of all have you been here and been charged with a felony or do you have a criminal background do you have pending charges against you those won't be accepted if you've been here and you've been living off the taxpayer dollars meaning that you're part of social programs those won't be those won't be accepted either if you've been here and you've had a full time paying job under some circumstances those would apply but you have to go through the regular steps that every other immigrant that wants to come to the country legally has to go through so i can't say that everybody's going to be accepted but you are eligible to apply nothing prevents you from applying from filling out the application but nothing is prevented since they've been here underneath tps either

[Fallon Gallagher]

to fallon gallagher fallon walk us through

[Ambassador Monica Crowley]

what you know

[Fallon Gallagher]

yes steph this is a big win for democracy as some of your guests have been saying and somewhat of a surprise this law from mississippi faced some really sharp questioning during all arguments where the justices were weighing whether or not it can really be seen deemed as election day if the ballot is received after election day now of course it would have needed to be postmarked but this is going to have massive implications for the midterm elections because eighteen states and territories have laws like mississippi on the books and something i want to point out i think leading lisa was saying this earlier it is a narrow ruling and that's significant because there was an issue that kept popping up during arguments about whether or not this could impact early voting of course almost every state across the country has early voting periods and those are really important for people so this is really really a big win for democracy here of course something that kept popping into my mind when i was in court during arguments is what this will mean on a practical standpoint and of course like if they had decided to get rid of these laws which is what it actually seemed like they were leaning during arguments barrett seemed like a toss up and now of course she's the author of this opinion but if they had gotten rid of these laws in these states there could have been massive implications for rural areas where people often have to submit their ballot by mail to get it in on time and it makes me think of an october surprise where if these laws had gone away people would have had to put their ballots in much earlier and then maybe they want to change their vote so for now these laws will get to hold in eighteen states and territories and another thing that's really significant to note about this case is that this is a it's a law firming coming from mississippi of course a very red state and they sued against the rnc but the trump administration actually intervened into this case and so not only did the administration intervene and actually argue on behalf of part of this case but president trump actually sent john sauer the solicitor general to argue argue this case personally now of course the solicitor general argues many important cases but not every single case sometimes it goes to his deputy and so the fact that trump taps john sauer to come in and argue this case highlights how important it is for the administration and the way that this court has ruled today in a five four ruling it is a loss for the president trump fallon

[Douglas Murray]

thank you lisa how much does this decision impact trump's super push to get

[Unknown Political Analyst]

the save america act pass i think it will absolutely absolutely light even bigger fire under him stuff to push the save america act because one of the provisions of the save america act is the congressional elimination of statutes like mississippi's

[Douglas Murray]

that opposed again slow this one down

[Unknown Political Analyst]

yeah so fallon was mentioning that eighteen states and territories have something called a grace period where if you cast your ballot by election day it can be counted for a certain number of days afterwards trump was hoping that the supreme court would say that's not allowed and they didn't but the save america act is essentially his fallback position because in the save america act there's a provision that would allow congress to do what the supreme court today has not it would eliminate by statute any right of states to have that grace period by saying election day is election day is election day and any ballot received after election day cannot be counted

[Steve Bannon]

save america headquarters steve speaking mike davis joins us the viceroy we're going to go through them i'm so glad that we have the professor from notre dame and the people in notre dame got to be very proud today mike davis talked to us about mail in ballots and the author of the opinion that had a five four decision sir well let me

[Mike Davis]

give you the cliff notes version of what the supreme court did today election day does not mean election day according to justice amy coney barrett our esteemed law professor along with the chief justice and the three liberal justices the president has the article to power under the constitution to fire a commissioner on the federal trade commission but the president somehow does not have that same power to fire a governor on the board of governors of the federal reserve according to a five to four decision written by the chief justice joined by justice kavanaugh and the three liberals there's one justice who didn't screw us today and that's my former boss justice neil gorsuch but it seems like justice barrett our esteemed law professor i've called her other names before just totally screwed us on what election day means she screwed the country really because there is something called the elections clause under the constitution and state local governments get to decide election rules unless congress comes over the top with a federal statute on time place and manner of elections and congress did that twice once in like eighteen forty five because the states had different election days for president and it led to cases of fraud people would go vote in one state and then go to another state and vote several days later then the congress extended that to house elections in eighteen seventy in the eighteen seventies that was extended to the senate when we had direct election of senators in the nineteen hundreds so we have election day for federal elections president house senate that means that according to a fifth circuit ruling that ballots have to be they have to be cast and received by election day and if you look at justice alito's dissenting opinion today it talks about how it was a burden for civil war soldiers for example to cast their ballots for president and get it received by election day but they managed to do it but amy coney barrett in her majority opinion just brushes that aside and says the states didn't know better they didn't know they had all these options and so we election day means election day plus five days after in mississippi and who knows and what other states whatever you know amy coney barrett decides when she wakes up that morning what election day means and so that's what we have for election day for the ftc trump can fire

[Steve Bannon]

well hang on hang on hang on hang on we're get to the article two powers in a second this election month i mean in california i think they're still counting the mayor's race

[Stephen K. Bannon]

this

[Steve Bannon]

is all this thing about that's where on msnbc it's what a great win for democracy this is about accessibility and access when they say access they want basically a month in advance and a half a month to a month it's really a two months it's a month and a half process or two months sometimes they stretch out six weeks for early voting then three or four weeks afterwards so it's two months they essentially want enough time so they can steal it if you had to just show up on election day they get smoked every time mike and john said this was important enough to the government important enough to the trump administration this wasn't just the rnc john sauer the great solicitor general went over and argued this case what was the logic that coney barrett because she's no you know she's not felix frankfurter right what logic did she have to say it's not election day but it's election month with all the stealing and problems and this is gonna cause massive problems in the midterms

[Mike Davis]

already sir that's a good question you know i always like to be lectured by professors and so when i read amy coney barrett's lecturing opinions sanctimonious opinions it's it goes along the lines of this of of course you can vote five days after the election you could have mail in ballots come in five days after the election and and you know even though states really made a big effort during the civil war to make sure that the soldiers got their ballots cast and received by election day the states just didn't know that they had all this wiggle room it's just it's an asinine ruling of course what you would expect out of a law professor an esteemed law professor instead of a rattled law professor with her head up her ass as i've called her before i won't i won't call her

[Steve Bannon]

that again we won't do that again but i'm certainly glad you referred back to previous previous previous appointments on war room mike before i get to the article two powers which you've been so great to define for the president and for this in the years in the wilderness that we had to refine our thinking on this topic i want to go back to one of your favorite topics the save america act correct me if i'm wrong up until ten fifteen this morning the save america act was the most important thing on president trump's agenda at ten seventeen am eastern daylight time i think it even went up higher didn't it now more than ever the senate house the speaker everybody has got to go all hands on deck to get the save america act both passed and implemented before election day or before election month sir look after this

[Mike Davis]

asinine ruling by the supreme court that election day does not mean election day and you can you can receive mail ballots five days after the election in mississippi who knows i mean based upon amy coney barrett's logic states can say we can get ballots twenty days after the election who knows like we just

[Steve Bannon]

saw in la well she's confirmed she's she's confirmed she's confirmed what's happening in california and la where they find out remember this is what they've done in nevada over and over again they find out by the evening of election night how much they're losing by and then what they do is they got a week or ten days and they just keep printing right until they get a slight victory the scam is an open it's an open scam in nevada it's an open scam in california what does she not understand about the practical nature of what she's done sir here is

[Mike Davis]

the effect of justice amy coney barrett's ruling today election day means the day the democrats find the number of votes after the election to declare themselves the winner that's that's what essentially amy coney barrett's ruling does election day guarantees cheating and it guarantees fraud it guarantees what we just saw with spencer pratt and california where he was clearly going to be in the number two two spots and then voila many days after the election the democrats just happened to find enough ballots that gave karen bass a spike in votes that we didn't see the entire election season not on election day not on pre election day but after the election we saw this spike in votes for karen bass to magically put her over the top put her into second place to be spencer pratt i mean this is just an idiotic ruling by justice amy coney barrett but it's on par

[Steve Bannon]

save america we're going to go to break we're going to come back about the article two powers save america act this is now all hands on deck you agree because the first of the president say hey i got to have it this thing's ridiculous for the supreme court it would have taken a little pressure off you've gotten a smart ruling today but it's obviously all hands on deck on this right

[Mike Davis]

now sir there is no question that senate republicans need to pass the save america act they need to get it on president trump's desk with today's supreme court ruling that election day doesn't mean election day and it's just going to open up our elections to more fraud from illegal aliens we need to have the senate we know there are fifty votes in the senate there was a test vote that shows there's at least fifty votes for the save america act i think there's a lot more support when it comes to a final vote because the save america act has eighty percent plus support of americans including a super majority of democrats a super majority of all minorities and a super majority of black americans those black americans are who democrats pretend don't have the wherewithal to get a voter id like everyone else when in reality democrats just want their illegal aliens to illegally vote so you hear some of these senate republicans whining that they don't have enough time to pass the save america act well guess what i worked in the senate i confirmed judges i know you can make time you can make time with something called august recess cancel august recess recess is for kids and i want the war room posse today to go to article three project dot org article number three project dot org take action and one of the action items is the save america act it's tell senators to stop illegals from illegally voting in our elections light up both of your home state senators right now the vice

[Steve Bannon]

president roy will stick through the break he's going to talk to us about president trump's article two powers according to the supreme court next

[Stephen K. Bannon]

here's your host

[Steve Bannon]

stephen k bann before i leave this topic get to article two there's no because there's a bunch of there are folks on the on the out in the ether that are pushing that save america act maybe too late anyway that president trump has the ability to sign an emergency executive order that bans mail in ballots bans this overrules goes around this ruling that is hopium isn't it

[Mike Davis]

yeah the courts will strike president trump down if he does that and so this is the senate republicans need to step up here we are either going to have an american election for americans or the senate republicans are going to take their august recess they need to cancel august recess recess is for kids they need to get back in the senate they need to they say that oh we need sixty votes to pass the save america act and we don't have sixty votes you don't need sixty votes you need fifty votes plus the vice president you need sixty votes to end to debate to end endless debate in the senate to invoke cloak chair and end debate you do not not need sixty votes to pass legislation so what you do is you say to the democrats if you want to oppose a bill the save america act that has eighty plus percent of support of americans including democrats including minorities including black americans then you need to stand on your two feet on the senate floor for august recess and then the senate democrats will run out of gas and then we can hold the vote and pass the save america act with a simple majority vote i guarantee you there are more votes than fifty votes to pass the save america act i guarantee you if you actually hold the votes it would be closer to sixty votes because senate democrats do not want to vote against the bill that has the support of eighty percent of americans including democrats minorities including black americans so if you if senator john thune just cancels august recess and says we're going to debate the save america act during august recess i guarantee you the senate will pass it and putting put it on president trump's desk

[Steve Bannon]

let's now turn to what you've been so great and explain to the audience for four years and also to the project twenty twenty five my favorite right here the true powers the true article two powers of the president united states unfortunately roberts and kavanaugh don't agree with you sir

[Mike Davis]

they don't it doesn't surprise me that two men who grew up and thrived in washington dc the homecoming kings of the swamp would find it a bridge too far to say that the president can fire ftc commissioners but the president cannot fire federal reserve governors so you know there's a there are several things in washington that are sacred apparently the federal reserve the kennedy center and august recess you cannot touch those three sacred cows we are learning

[Steve Bannon]

now he they did agree let's i just want to bifurcate this they did agree with about the federal bureaucracy because in the ftc the ftc they bifurcated the decision on the ftc and the governor of the fed because as i say the three most powerful institutions in this town are centcom the cia and the federal reserve so they get put in a special category but on the ftc they did agree with you right about president trump's article two powers there they actually on aspects of the administrative state i guess you would say ones that don't count that much they gave president trump authority to do what he do what thou wilt sir

[Mike Davis]

look when when we i think it was your last show when you asked me to predict how the court would rule in these two cases and i said the court's going to allow the president to fire ftc commissioners but i don't think the court's going to allow the president to fire federal reserve board governors it's not because the law is different article two of the constitution is the same the executive power is the executive power we have three branches of government and the president has the power to fire executive branch officials but i just knew there's this little thing in washington called politics and there are supreme court justices who are more susceptible to politics and have less firm convictions on article two power or the separation of powers than others and so this ruling does not surprise me in one bit

[Steve Bannon]

mike i know you got a bounce did given the fact of dobbs and everything was happening and coney barrett's you know strength i guess in the right to life issues was there enough due diligence done on her that we could really figure out what a whack job she actually is sir she's had some just horrible horrible rulings and now she's written the opinion the hectoring opinion of the professor the law professor from notre

[Mike Davis]

dame your thoughts yeah i think i don't think we'll be picking professors for future supreme court vacancies we need people who are bold and fearless i commend my former boss justice gorsuch for being bold and fearless he was the only trump justice who was good on all of these rulings we shall see what happens with the save america act i have grave doubts that the supreme court is going to follow the constitution is going to follow the law and that i think that's going to be a major disappointment from the supreme court the most egregious violation of the sovereign american people's most common crucial sovereign power is to control our border to control our populace to control who comes and goes and who becomes one of us and we never gave away that sovereign power as we the people not at our founding not after the civil war with the post civil war constitutional amendments including the birthright citizenship clause in the fourteenth amendment that we enacted to overturn the dred scott decision and give birthright citizenship to the children of the freed slaves we certainly did not give birthright citizenship to illegal aliens trende aragua terrorist kids chinese birth tourists in any subsequent congress since then i predict the supreme court is going to say that a nineteen forty statute that we somehow gave birthright citizenship to illegal aliens and if you don't like it just amend a statute like that's something that is easy i think this is going to be a demonstration in cowardice and vanity from the supreme court instead of bold and fearlessly

[Steve Bannon]

following the law viceroy where do people get you article three and then what's your coordinates on your the coordinates in the in your social media article three

[Mike Davis]

project dot org article number three project dot org donates but only what you can afford follow us on social again the key action item for the war room posse today is light up both of your home state senators on the save america act if the supreme court says election day is an election day we need to shut down the illegal

[Steve Bannon]

fraud thank you brother talk to you later
