Brenda Simone
Italian chief Brenda Simone and talking about.
- [00:03]
Fire Chief
The challenges with this.
- [00:04]
Brenda Simone
They've been trying to save the more than 100-year-old deodor cedars on Christmas Tree Lane as well. Chief, thanks for the few seconds here. I heard there are fire extinguishers or those haven't been able to get turned on or used.
- [00:17]
Fire Chief
No ma'am. We're at a complete. We're losing water pressure up here. We have a lack of resources. The wind as you see, is pushing it very violently and the lack of water is a huge, huge hurdle that we're trying to overcome so we can save as much as we.
- [00:32]
Brenda Simone
So lack of water like. No. No pressure in the neighborhood.
- [00:35]
Fire Chief
All the hydrants have run dry.
- [00:37]
Brenda Simone
Oh no. So what do you do now?
- [00:39]
Fire Chief
So we send our water tenders or our engines down to shuttle water from further away. Different, different hydrants that still have water.
- [00:46]
Brenda Simone
This is bad.
- [00:47]
Fire Chief
It makes it challenging to do our job. But we're just up here trying to do the best we can for the citizens in the community.
- [00:52]
Brenda Simone
What is the situation with the water? Obviously in Palisades ran out last night in the hydrants. I was trying to firefighter on this block. They left because there was no water in the hydrant here. Local folks are trying to figure that out. I mean just when you system that is not dissimilar to what we've seen in other extraordinarily large scale fires, whether it be pipe electricity or whether it just be the complete overwhelm of the system. I mean those hydrants are typical for two or three fires. Maybe one fire you have something at this scale. But again that's going to be determined by the local.
- [01:21]
Donald Trump
And you have so much water and all those fields that are right now barren. The farmers would have all the water they needed and you could revert water up into the hills where you have all the dead forests, where the forests are so brittle because no, no places like California. I go to Austri, the head of Austria tells me, you know, we have trees that are much more flammable than what you have in California. We never have forest flows because they maintain their forests. And you have all that water that could be used to as water, what they call water flow where the, you know, where the land would be damp and you'd stop many of these horrible fires that are costing billions and billions of dollars by the federal government, et cetera. So one thing I'm going to do for California, vote for me California. I'm going to give you safety. I'm going to give you A great border. And I'm going to give you more water than almost anybody has. And the farmers up north are going to be able to use 100% of their land, not 1% of their land.
- [02:18]
Fire Chief
Officials addressed that yesterday. They admitted that we did not have the water pressure in order to fight the fire on the ground. And the reason that happened is because they have about three 1 million gallon tanks that they have in the Palisades area. And the reason you fill that up is so that you have the water pressure. And so they were pumping out so much water over about 15 hours, about four times the capacity. They could not keep up with the demand. So that water ran out. And around 3:00 in the morning, 4:00 in the morning, they have no more water. And that was the critical time of this firefight yesterday because that's when the winds were the highest overnight and into the morning. On top of that, you also, the aircraft which were not flying, they had to be grounded because of those strong winds. So when you have no water coming from up above or on the ground, that's why you see more than a thousand structures that have burned, because there was no way to fight this. And also you have those whipping winds that carried embers up to a mile or two. So it was really the perfect storm that created this mess.
- [03:25]
Donald Trump
They said, we have no water. I said, do you have a drought? No, I don't have a drought. I said, why didn't you have no water? Because the water, water isn't allowed to flow down. It's got a natural flow from Canada all the way up north of water, more water than they could ever use. And in order to protect a tiny little fish, the water up north gets routed into the Pacific Ocean. Millions and millions of gallons of water gets poured. I could have water for all of that land. Water for your forests. You know, your forests are dry as a bone. Okay.
- [03:58]
Gavin Newsom
Dangerous.
- [03:59]
Donald Trump
That water could be routed. You know, you could have everything. Not only dangerous, billions of dollars a year they spend on forest fires. And you know, there's a case with the environment. They're not allowed to rake their forests because you're not allowed to touch it. And all they have to do is clean their forest, meaning rake it up, get rid of the leaves. Get rid of, you know, leaves that are sitting there for five years. And they will certainly get rid of.
- [04:22]
Brenda Simone
The dead fall and get rid of.
- [04:24]
Donald Trump
The trees that have fallen, you know.
- [04:26]
Brenda Simone
Are like Governor Gavin Newsom.
- [04:28]
Stephen K. Bannon
Are you willing to work with him?
- [04:30]
Brenda Simone
And do you believe that federal aid should be provided to California for as long as it takes.
- [04:34]
Donald Trump
Well, it's very sad because I trying to get Gavin Newsom to allow water to come. You'd have tremendous water up there. They send it out to the Pacific because they're trying to protect a tiny little fish which is in other areas, by the way, called a smelt. And for the sake of a smelt, they have no water. They had no water in the fire hydrants today in Los Angeles. It was a terrible thing and we're going to get that done. It's going to finally be done. I got it done from the federal side and he didn't want to sign it, but it's not going to happen again like that. There's no reason. Can you imagine you have farmers that don't have any water in California. They have plenty of water. They don't have a drought. They send it out to the Pacific and it's crazy. So what's happening in California is a true tragedy. I know those areas very well. I have many friends living in those houses. That is a true tragedy. Nobody ever thought, I mean, virtually Beverly Hills and areas around Beverly Hills are being decimated. The biggest homes, some of the most valuable homes in the world are largest destroyed. I don't even know. You know, you talk about a tax base. If those people leave, you're going to lose half your tax base of California. This is a true tragedy. And it's a mistake of the governor and you could say the administration. They don't have any water. They didn't have water in the fire hydrants. They don't have water. And yet they have. The water comes from you know where up north. And it comes down at levels. They give millions and millions of barrels of gallons of water that they have and they send it out into the Pacific. For the Pacific, it's like a drop. It's nothing. But for California, we take care of the whole state. So what's happened is a tragedy phase.
- [06:12]
Brenda Simone
We're in the public safety phase. I hate to even ask this question, but the president elect chose to attack you, blame you for this. One can't even respond to it.
- [06:22]
Donald Trump
I mean, it's.
- [06:24]
Brenda Simone
People are literally fleeing. People have lost their lives, kids lost their schools, families completely torn asunder, churches burned down. This guy wanted to politicize it. I have a lot of thoughts and I know what I want to say. I won't. I stood next to a president of the United States of America today and I was proud to be with Joe Biden and he had the backs of every single person in this community. Didn't play politics, didn't try to divide any of us. Good news is I'm a great grandfather as of today.
- [07:02]
Donald Trump
Baby girl, baby boy.
- [07:04]
Stephen K. Bannon
So I remember his day for a while.
- [07:11]
Gavin Newsom
This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these.
- [07:19]
Brenda Simone
People's not got a free shot.
- [07:22]
Gavin Newsom
All these networks lying about the people.
- [07:25]
Brenda Simone
The people have had a belly full of it.
- [07:27]
Gavin Newsom
I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
- [07:31]
Donald Trump
It's going to happen.
- [07:32]
Brenda Simone
And where do people like that go to share the big lie? MAGA media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my task and.
- [07:45]
Gavin Newsom
What is my purpose?
- [07:46]
Brenda Simone
If that answer is to save my country from this country will be saved.
- [07:53]
Donald Trump
War room.

Brenda Simone
Here's your host, Stephen K. Banner. It's Thursday, the 9th of January in the year of our Lord 2025. We've got a lot to get to today, but I want to talk about the historic significance of what we're seeing right now, folks. This is what is called a hinge of history. From Europe to the progressives in New York State to California, the gravitational pull of President Trump's leadership, his common sense manliness. Just, let's be blunt, adult supervision is reordering the political universe much more than November 5th or predicated upon November 5th. Now it's actually being executed upon. Why do I say that? Well, Jim Vanderhay and Mike Allen, who are the Washington consensus in a sophisticated and smart way. Not the stupid hour of the morning Joe is but a sophisticated way. Over at Axios has a piece up about President Trump and the transition. And I've put it up on Getter and just said full spectrum dominance. It's every, every aspect of it. And you can see that article. I'm gonna talk to about a minute. Thank you, Denver. Appreciate it. But I'll get back to that in a second. The, the California situation, those two cuts that we played. And I want to thank my crack production team and Denver for putting that together. That was a fabulous arc of a cold open because right there it encapsulates what the issues are and it is appropriate to talk about this now. You have to talk about this now. The fires still have no containment and they're still roaring through in Pacific Palisades, which I am extremely familiar with. It is beyond apocalyptic. It's gone. It's one of the most quaint villages in, in, in in greater Los angeles. It's. It's 20 miles right before you get to the oceans, right next to Santa Monica as you head to the ocean west from LA proper, from downtown la, which is really downtown LA is really. There's no there there. Right. It's always. LA is always known I think by the Pasadena kind of in the. The eastern side and then the beaches, the South Bay beaches of Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Redondo beach leading to Palos Verdes with Marina del Rey up at the top. Mo is from. Was raised in Manhattan Beach, a huge athletic center down there of all those. Then you've got the beaches to the north, you have Santa Monica and then you've got Pacific Palisades, kind of Pacific Palisades is where President Reagan. That's where he had his home with Nancy. It was always known as the classy, understated elegance. Not huge over the top mansions. And if you see even all the. Most of these actors are progressive, but these are. If you look at the actors and musicians, the people there, they're the understated. It's a progressive enclave obviously because of Hollywood, but they're the understated, you could say, like the Billy Crystals and people like that that are not there to rub their wealth into your face. So it's a very understated neighborhood. Gone. Gone. Joel Pollux over at Breitbart's putting up a tremendous stream or tremendous link on his. And Joe's a very even hand. Joel's a very even handed guy. He's a very fair guy. He's not a. Not a bomb thrower like we are, but a very. You ought to read that. I know Karen Sigmund and the team at AFA have been all over this. It is, you know, Natalie, Natalie's. Natalie's home in Santa Monica has had to be evacuated where her parents live. It is. It's stunning what happened and those two cuts, the reason I wanted to play them. Who warned us about this? Trump. Trump, who's mocked and ridiculed all the time, mocked and ridiculed. And Gavin Newsom. Gavin Newsom is the personification, the manifestation of the progressive left, the politically correct left right. Warned by President Trump. President Trump did that first in a campaign stop, then on Joe Rogan's show and Daily Mail, I think said Joe Rogan's prophetic talk about things. It was Trump that and Joe asked great questions even to bring it up that concept at the time, given everything else is Going on. Given everything else is going on. President Trump ready to get banged, very, very logical, very even handed steps into a decision tells you exactly what the problem is. I hope the folks and I realize this is raw and obviously, you know, our hearts, everything goes out to these people. They've lost everything. All their photos, everything that you know, associated with their parents and their grandparents. All the think about your house if it just burned in a minute. This thing happened what at 10, started at 10:30 I think on Tuesday in the morning with those Santa Anas, which for folks that haven't lived there, these are what they call the devil winds. They're offshore winds and they come across the desert and I mean these were hurricane force winds, but the winds, they've had other winds like this and clearly, clearly somehow this got started. But the tragedy is not the physical part. The tragedy is not the natural part of it. The tragedy here is the response to it. Where were the fighter fires, fighter firefighters? Where was the water? Where's the logistics now at the looting start? Where's the police? Where are what citizens? This is the outcry. This is what a progressive, politically correct mentality gets you. Look at that, look at that right there. That looks like Dresden in 1945. In fact, I tell you, it looks worse. That looks like what you're seeing on the screen right now. And go to, if you listen by the podcast, you got to go to our website, get the email, you've got to get the command brief and what Kerry Donovan puts on the thing to see the visuals. That looks like the firebombing in Tokyo and Japan in March of 1945. It's worse than Dresden and a complete village is gone. And why is it gone? Human agency or the lack thereof can be no excuses for this. Donald J. Trump is right. We're gonna get more into this. The full spectrum dominance.
- [15:00]
Gavin Newsom

Brenda Simone
Here's your host, Stephen K. Ban. I'm trying to find out, I think that the great Johnny Khan or his brother may have lost their house in the Palisades. We're going to check that out. Complete and total devastation. I mean, apocalyptic. But if you see the news media, the way they're covering it, it's an insult to people's intelligence and people starting to get angry and they should be angry. But then again, President Trump, common sense, practical, he's a builder. You know what they call him in China? They got a phrase for me? I got to find the phrase. They call him builder of nations or builder of nation. A nation builder. The young people over there referring to Trump because they're putting out hate on Trump nonstop to the Lao, Beijing. But if you look at what's going on on social media, the way, and they respect Trump, many of these young people revere Trump with all the hate that's being put out there about how bad Trump is. They're trying to tee up as their financial situation deteriorates. They're trying to set themselves up for some nationalistic move that the foreign devils have done this to us and Trump is the head foreign devil. Well, there are a lot of folks over there that don't buy it. And they call him the nation builder. I think it's a pretty good handle. This situation in California, California is, think about it, California, the history of this country and California, pre world, the whole history of California, amazing. But then look Pre World War II and the aerospace industry that helped us win the Second World War and the boom, the American boom, centered in California, a center of conservative politics. What has happened in that great state and what has happened to the people, and I hope that this is a wake up call. You cannot look away from this, particularly can't look away from it on the unbelievable incompetent, I mean, not beyond, beyond incompetent malfeasance that's going on. This is what Trump saved this nation from. This is what Trump saved this nation from. At a, Federal, At a, at a, at a, at A. The most powerful, the hegemon run by the likes of this. You see that thing with Biden, you Know, people are tweeting, oh, he can't read the room. It's deeper than that. It's deeper than that. It shows you. It's not ability to read the room. It's the mentality of these people that he would go there with this tragedy. Because think about it, you look at Palisades, do you understand? Their lives will never be the same again. I don't care if you start rebuilding. It's always going to be different and in some cases, dramatically different. And on Tuesday, when he woke up, it was a beautifully. Just another beautiful, clear day. Windy, very windy. Oh, the Santa Anas are here. The Santa Anas are here. It's going to be a warmer, hotter day in December or January than it normally is. And then to be it's Day of the Locusts. You ever see that film about Los Angeles? I think Rebecca west wrote the book. What you've had is Day of the Locust. But this is not. And they go, climate change. This climate change. Yeah. No, this is human. Yes, of course, the winds blew hard, but the winds always blow hard. And yes, a brush fire started, but brush fires start, particularly where people build these houses. That's just a normal course of events. The tragedy is that. Look at. You can see hours of footage and there's nobody there. There's no firemen there. I'm not blaming the firemen. These guys are brave and go in harm's way. But where's the organization? Where was the water? You saw the woman up there. She's sitting there going, we have 3 million tanks, but we ran out. Well, hey, lady. Yo. You can't run out. Your job is to make sure you don't run out. She's. As a matter of fact, if we can get that clip, I want to play that later. She's just sitting there. You know, we have 3 million tanks and the gravity, you know, up the hill. Yes, that's where they come down. We have 3 million gallons. We have 3, 1 million tanks. But this ran. And this is what gets you about the coverage on the media. They're sitting there at cnn. Precisely when did it run out? That's not the point. The point is they ask the question, how did it run out? Lady, tell me what the plan is. There's a way. These systems. This is the collapse of complex systems. Darren Beatty, we got Beatty, I think a little later, but I'm going to get him on this. Remember, Beatty had this whole series six months ago, eight months ago, that you could tell that the political correctness DEI and all of it. Not just that, but all the way. They run things. This mediocrity is the collapse of complex systems. We were on the time on the air system, so many close calls. This is that you're seeing the manifestation of Darren Beatty's theory, the case of the collapse of complex systems, because you don't have people that can run complex systems put in charge. Have you seen any leadership? We've watched every one of these press conferences, so you didn't have to. It is stunning. Not just the incompetence, the arrogance of the incompetence. The mayor didn't want to answer questions, she said, but even the people around them, they're so. Not just of the moment, so basically incompetent to actually perform the duties they should perform on a regular basis, a normal course of business. And then if anybody even tries to ask a question, it's this kind of unctuous. They just give it to the thing and you know, and CNN is msnbc. CNN in this regard is actually the worst. Well, the three times what it ran a precipitate here Pacific. It shouldn't have run out. What do you mean ran at this time and over these couple hours. What. Why do you get more water up there? Did you plan for this? We've got so much to get through today, including how President Trump is in this thing from Axios. We're moving forward and we told you now this is a discussion. Hopefully today will rectify the two versus one bill. Also, the executive orders. He's going to hit with a, with a. Going to be an executive order tsunami on the day of the 20th. I want to talk to you. Our coverage on the 20th. Yes. We're going to cover the pageantry and the majesty of President Trump in this historic event of him taking the office, everything like that. But our primary focus that day is going to be boom, at high noon, firing off the football. Right. To take this country back and to turn it around. We can't wait another second. That's our coverage. Going to be that the executive orders. What's happening? People deployed. What's going on? President Trump's going to be, it's going to be all action, action, action, action to save this country. They don't have a minute to spare. You don't think the people in California, even the ones that hate Trump and hate the sound of his name, would not rather have him there than Biden? Biden goes through this briefing. He's barely there. You can tell he's barely, he's barely cognizant. Even, you know, Newsom's trying to be. And he then says, well, there's some good news. I had a grandchild, a great grandchild. And Newsom's face is like just wincing. Who could do that? Who could do that? There's no good news yesterday. And nobody wants to hear about your great grandchild, dude. Nobody's interested. You've got devastation. You have people's lives that will never be the same, ever. But at the same time, what are they trying to do on the way out? What are they trying to, instead of focusing, maybe instead of Merrick Garland, those guys, because now people rushing the border, maybe instead of trying to make sure that we don't have a bum rush on the border. Right. Maybe to do that Merrick Garland would, with all the crimes he's committed, would finally help out. No. In the 11th hour, the 11th hour of the 11th day, all of it close to midnight, they're trying to once again hammer Trump legally. Julie Kelly joins me by phone. Julie. Hopefully she's still up. Julie, you've got Mershon. In trying to make Trump a convicted felon, it's very different than just convicted, just guilty of felonies, trying to make him a convicted felon by having the sentence barred. That's what this is about. And then you've got this situation with Jack Smith is just itching to illegally leak this report. Can you get us up to date on both of them, ma'am?
- [24:49]
Julie Kelly
Sure. So Alvin Bragg and Juan Merchand just posted their response to President Trump's request before the Supreme Court, really an emergency request to put on hold the proceedings in the New York case brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg in 2023. Donald Trump, you know, convicted unanimously by a New York jury in May of 2024. But in the interim seat, two very important things happened between May of 2024 and now. Number one, July 1, 2024, the Supreme Court hands down its landmark opinion related to presidential immunity for acts in office. Now, the accusations against President Trump relate to his time in office. This was not something that he did before he took the presidency in 2017. These are things that he did when he was president. And what Donald Trump's team is arguing, and I think justifiably so, is that that conviction should be vacated because it deals with things he did while he was president. So July 1, the Supreme Court in a 6, 3 ruling, really hands down this guidance as to what conduct in office is protected from criminal prosecution. More Importantly, of course, November 5, 2024, Donald Trump is re elected president. So now what Donald Trump's team is arguing, in addition to he should this conviction should be vacated based on the July SCOTUS opinion. Now, presidential immunity extends through the transition period, which makes total sense, of course, because he is the incoming president. Of course, he was just certified officially on Monday. So by extension, that immunity should apply to not prosecuting a sitting or incoming president. Now, what Juan Merchant did is continue to delay the sentencing in this case based on the Supreme Court ruling, then based on the election period. But he very slyly set the sentencing for tomorrow morning at 9:30. That is what Donald Trump, President Trump and his team are trying to put a hold on. They filed this emergency application on Tuesday. Sonia Sotomayor, who by the way, was in the minority in the immunity opinion 6, 3, authored by Chief Justice.

Brenda Simone
Julie. Julie, hang on one second. We're going to commercial break. Julie Kell is going to hang around. We got the Merchant sentencing tomorrow. You've got the Jack Smith Report on, you know, the insurrection quote, unquote. They're trying to, they're trying to get Trump at the last second going out the door. They're not worried about the nation, they're worried about Trump. This is how despicable these people are, what they've left this country and what President Trump is stepping into. Revolting, repulsive, disgusting. We can't get him here too soon and get his hand on that Bible. Short break.

He's looking to take action, action, action. What he doesn't want to do is have people taking cheap shots, cheap shots on him. Because if you're taking a cheap shot on him, you're taking a cheap shot on the nation. Your Justice Department. There's a poll out today says Biden's rate the worst of the modern presidents. Does that shock you? I don't know. You got Bush 43 and you got, you got Jimmy Carter. I won't mention Jimmy Carter because I don't need to. I don't want to speak poorly of the dead, but Biden's ranked last. But on the way out the door with the, the non classy way they are, what are they trying to do? They're maniacally focused on damaging President Trump. So Julie Kelly, I want to go back and if we can be succinct because there's so much going on, I want people to focus on this. They're trying to get Mershon to have to render the verdict tomorrow, his sentence because they want Trump to be considered a convicted felon. He is not a convicted felon. Now, he's an individual who's been convicted of these phony felonies. But they are bound and determined. There's no need to do this except for that. So where does it stand specifically? Just where does it stand right now of. Because I know this is going to the Supreme Court. President Trump's going to the Supreme Court to get a stay on this or to get it shut down. Where do we stand?
- [33:28]
Julie Kelly
So it's pending before the Supreme Court right now. This was the filing that Bragg and Marshawn issued just a few moments ago. And what Trump is trying to do is delay his sentencing scheduled for 9:30 tomorrow morning. So the Supreme Court will have to act today to put a hold on that sentencing hearing. But I would like to read, if it's okay, what Bragg and Marshawn said.
- [33:56]
Brenda Simone
Yeah, sure.
- [33:57]
Julie Kelly
Response to the Supreme Court which tipped off their partisan political motivation. And here's what they wrote.
- [34:03]
Brenda Simone
Please.
- [34:05]
Julie Kelly
Any stay here risks delaying the sentencing until after January 20th when defendant President Trump is inaugurated. And his status as the sitting president will pose much more severe and potentially insuperable obstacles to sentencing and finality. So there you go. Ding, ding, ding. Far from temporarily preserving status quo, granting defendants stay threatens to delay sentencing for years. That is tipping their head.
- [34:39]
Brenda Simone
Perfect. Okay. Exactly. So now we'll find out sometime this afternoon whether the Supreme Court says, hey, we're not, we take a pass, you guys do it or fully stop it or give a stay on it. Right. Those are the three options.
- [34:54]
Julie Kelly
Correct. It will just be a response to President Trump's request for a stay. So they'll just respond to that. Correct.
- [35:03]
Brenda Simone
Okay, now, now on top of that, let's go back in time. The 160 page report that, that, that Jack Smith released as election interference that had yours truly as P1 person number one, had another bunch of people in there and had President Trump, this was his interim report or some, it was actually a superseding indictment that they would have dropped on November 6th if they had won. Okay. Now they've got a two volume report. They are maniacally obsessed about getting this report out. Right. Judge Cannon shut it down the other day because they've kind of intermixed both the Mar A Lago raid with the phony insurrection charges. Now they're going nuts. And Merrick Garland's actually said, correct me if I'm wrong, he said, hey, I'm going to release it, to hell with you guys essentially. And now that is caught up and it's at this, it's going to go to the Supreme Court also, ma'am.
- [35:58]
Julie Kelly
Well, right now, so Jack Smith has authored this two volume report, what you just said, volume one, the J6 case in Washington and then volume two, the classified documents case in Florida. Now Steve, it's important to emphasize that those cases are dead. With the exception of Donald Trump's two co defendants in the classified documents case, they're dead. Jeff Smith moved to dismiss the J6 indictment after the election. That was granted. He then dropped his appeal in the Florida case on behalf of President Trump. Nonetheless, this lowlife thug, who will be under investigation by Congress and a Trump DOJ wants to issue a report. He gave it to Merrick Garland on Tuesday. Merrick Garland gave it to Merrick Garland on Tuesday, indicating Garland could release it as early as tomorrow upon his review. But President Trump and his two co defendants again in Florida, this is how our president has to spend his time before the inauguration not preparing to take over the country, fighting this ongoing lawfare. So they filed a motion in Florida before Judge Cannon, who presided over the classified documents case and now the appellate court there as well, seeking to prevent DOJ from releasing the report. Judge Cannon did issue an order forbidding the DOJ from releasing that report outside of the department as this kind of litigates through the appellate court.
- [37:37]
Brenda Simone
Okay, we're going to follow this. Julie, you're going to be back here today. These are two decisions that kind of be. The first is the merchant is obviously one that's got to be made today. The other is because Merrick Garland's bound. They're bound and determined even to just get it to the committee so Jamie Raskin could pull all the most salacious elements and get it out there. They can't beat Trump, they can't defeat Trump, they can't defeat the Trump movement. What they're trying to do is try to mark it up as much as possible, scuff it up. And Boris Epstein, the team, you should know they're working around the clock to stop this. Cuz this shows you this is a primal scream of a dying regime. Where did I. That was not a bad quote off the top of the head, handcuffed. Walking into Mershon's court. I was walking into Mershon's court when they just randomly 5 bay and a 1 had Mershon as my judge. Julie Kelly, where they go in the interim? We'll have you back on this afternoon updates. And this is quite important, ma'am. Where do people go?
- [38:31]
Julie Kelly
Yep, I'll be on tonight. I have a whole piece kind of outlining this declassified with Julie Kelly on substack. Real clear investigations also. And of course I'll be covering breaking news on X Juliettelly too. And I will talk to you tonight.
- [38:46]
Brenda Simone
Okay. I just want to make sure folks embrace this. They just sentenced an individual on J6. We're gonna talk about tonight. How many months in federal prison did this individual get? I think he was sentenced yesterday. How many? How many what? Was the sentence, ma'am?
- [39:01]
Julie Kelly
No, he's reporting to prison right now. 40 months on a civil disorder conviction and two misdemeanors.
- [39:08]
Brenda Simone
40 months. Okay, we're gonna add all that up. So when Burrow Howe gets impeached and then goes to trial. When Merrick Garland goes to trial, Lisa Monaco goes to. Matthew Grace goes. No, I'm dead serious. Hey, we're gonna add them all up and have a big old chart of what they did to people when they have to stand, stand and deliver before justice. Julie Kelly, thank you, ma'am.
- [39:29]
Julie Kelly
Talk to you later, Steve. Thanks.
- [39:32]
Brenda Simone
Thank you. The three lines of work, the stop the kinetic part of the Third World War, this financial situation, economic situation, the debt, which is the existential threat. He had a meeting in the Senate yesterday. The House Freedom Caucus is tomorrow in Mar a Lago. I believe decisions are going to be made forthwith. As you know, here in the war Room, we like to have single subject bills so we can see. So we're a two bill versus one bill. We don't like. We love the president, but we don't like the big, the great big old, I call it the summer omnibus. There'll be a lot of president. I'm just telling you, there's going to be a lot of tears shed if we go down that one route path. I can tell you now. So two is not great, but it's better than any alternative. So let's roll it. We got the reconciliation, but the first matter at hand has got to be the deportation. President Trump's committed to it. He's working on it. Stephen Miller, the great Stephen Miller yesterday in the Senate behind closed doors being reported being leaked that Stephen Miller walked through 100, as we said here the other day, 100 executive orders. Now, I'm not sure all those are going to be done by game day because you remember we're in the weeds here at the war room because the posse needs to be in the weeds. You need the receipts. You have to get Office of Legal Counsel opinions on these executive orders. Right. To make sure that they're constitutional, that they comport to existing law and that they're constitutional. Because executive order is not a law. It's an order from the chief executive of the US Government. That would be president of the United States, Todd Bensman. I want to get to Chicago in a second because that's going to be the center of this fight of sanctuary cities versus sorting this thing out. But give me a minute before we go to break the executive orders. The shocking of the hundred, I will tell you, folks, I don't know, I think 50, somewhere near 35 to 50, are related to Todd Bensman's topic, brother, about undoing the damage Biden did day one. What should we look for there before we go to break, Todd?
- [41:37]
Stephen K. Bannon
Well, I won't be surprised at all to see CBP1 and all those parole programs immediately canceled. The ones that are flying them in over the border and bringing them in over the land ports. I won't be surprised to see them deputize the Texas Department of Public Safety and Operation Lone Star either because they're going to need to have personnel. They've got ready made personnel right there on the border on 1200 miles of border with Texas. I've heard through the grapevine that there has already been a lot of talking about that arrangements for the deputizing of Texas. I wouldn't be surprised to see a big emergency declaration that would allow the new president to use military facilities for detention and maybe even use some personnel to do some of the administrative work that's necessary. They need to divert manpower personnel to the deportation.
- [42:40]
Brenda Simone
Yep.
- [42:41]
Stephen K. Bannon
I wouldn't be surprised if something happens with sanctuary cities. They've got something in mind for the rebel blue cities that are already out there saying we're not going to participate.
- [42:56]
Brenda Simone
Hey, one second. Hang on a second. We're taking a short break. I want to drill down this in Chicago. The center of gravity of the deep of the sanctuary city deportation fight. Todd Benzeman is broken down into three different elements.

That this would be a quote, high profile raid targeting undocumented immigrants in the initial days. The raid could target immigrants allegedly living in the U.S. illegally at a workplace in the Washington, D.C. area. I'm curious what you think of this because I've covered this, I've had Stephen Miller on the show. I think we can stipulate that there are debates about immigration in this country and Undocumented immigration has been rising, and there's a question about how to deal with that in a holistic way that is humane but protects national security. I'm curious what you think of something that's already being billed as a kind of quote show or advertisement. Isn't this issue more important than making a D.C. show for the D.C. i guess, media market? You know, I'm an old man now. I been a boxer all my life.
- [45:13]
Gavin Newsom
I've given it up because of my, my frailty.
- [45:17]
Brenda Simone
But I would come back to, to.
- [45:19]
Gavin Newsom
Punch Stephen Miller in the nose because.
- [45:22]
Brenda Simone
He is the most hideous in terms of his policy. I don't know the guy personally, but in terms of his policy, he is absolutely draconian. He is the definition of. He doesn't want to resolve the issue. He wants to scapegoat certain people. That will, in his mind, it will resound favorably to President Trump. I think that this is a horrible idea. A showcase of raids in the D.C. area. You know what that's going to do? It will heighten uncertainty in the immigration among immigrants. It will infuriate the Democrats. It will motivate that base. It will absolutely garner him no additional points.
- [46:11]
Gavin Newsom
He needs now to.
- [46:14]
Brenda Simone
Okay, Geraldo, those raids are absolutely necessary. And not just raids to get the immigrants. They need to go in and arrest. They, Any, any, any building they go into, any office they go into for these raids. They need to arrest. They need to arrest like the, the CFO and the CEO. Let me go back in time for I get tied on here. Here's my theory of the case. When we had all the abuses in the Internet stocks, you had like wall.com, you put.com or anything, and the stock would go, wouldn't even be a business. And you had these day traders, you're driving up the price of stocks. And then everything collapsed in early 2000, I think the first quarter, 2000, all collapsed, okay? And people were wiped out. Pension funds got hit. They passed a law, Sarbanes, Oxley, okay, Now Sarbanes, Oxy's got a lot of negatives to it, but one thing it did, it tried to clear up by making it a. When a CFO and a CEO signed the quarterly statements, when the quarterly financials came out, it changed the game there from civil penalties to criminal. If you, if you purposely gun decked or misled in your, in your statements, in your financial statements, which a lot of these Internet companies had kind of, because they had all these kind of metrics, not financials, metrics, and they were Pushing that the Sarbanes Oxley with all its faults did try to clean up the problem by saying, hey, we got to put somebody in the hook. Somebody's got to be accountable. Somebody's got to be responsible. Somebody's got to be held responsible for this. Right? Have the. Whoever had the authority has to be held responsible. That's how they basically went a long way to clean up that type of mess. The same thing has to happen. Remember the Chamber of Commerce, the Republican establishment and the Democrats, the big Democrat donors always fight E verify. They don't want to know how many illegal aliens here in the low skill level are taking jobs and working. And remember, you're paying for their health care. They're destroying the education system. This is where the burden is yours. They've socialized the burden to you. My point is when you go do these raids, you're just not turfing out the unskilled workers who are working there below wages with no Social Security, no medical Right. Of course they have to go. But remember, they're just kind of pawns in this game. This game is about money and power. The people that are responsible are the chief operating officer, the CFO and the CEO. They get you walk a couple of those people out cuffed, you'll have a different attitude about counting. Todd Bensman. Do you think it's a good idea in these executive orders the first couple of days, Homan and these guys, particularly to do it in a high vis area like Washington D.C. to kind of get people's attention? Are you a backer of that? Are you a bleeding heart like Geraldo, sir?
- [49:05]
Stephen K. Bannon
Powerful deterrence. Gotta just do that a few times and should send the message. So yeah, I'm all for deterrence. I do believe that they have the right to prosecute. Walk them out. You know, also if you're harboring illegal aliens, are protecting them or obstructing lawful deportation and removal operations, as Homan said before you can be prosecuted, held responsible criminally for that. I think they need to go through and do some of those too. In the sanctuary jurisdictions. They don't need to do a lot. They just need to do some.
- [49:45]
Brenda Simone
How important. We're going to come back. We're going to go to break here in a couple of minutes. I'm going to ask Todd to stick with us. We're also going to talk about economics in the next tariffs, President Trump's economic plan. We're going to talk about Greenland, his geostrategic plan. But I got to ask you just for in the way Trump rolls right. Who's action oriented? How important is the first couple of days, not the first hundred days, but the first couple of days to set the attitude of this with these executive orders? TODD Bensman it's hugely important.
- [50:14]
Stephen K. Bannon
It's everything because it's all about messaging downstream into Mexico and beyond. Those are the people you have to influence. That's why Homan and those guys are running around on every media outlet, every podcast that they can get on Tucker, yours, everywhere, to make sure that the people downstream that are thinking are they serious about this, are they really going to boot us out of here? So they need to boot people out. They need to show that they're following rhetoric with action.
- [50:49]
Brenda Simone
Todd, before we go to break, just where do people go to get to your the three part series, particularly in Chicago. We're going to talk about on the other side of the break, where do folks go to get that? All your writings, everything that's right.
- [51:00]
Stephen K. Bannon
CIS.org, i work for the center for Immigration Studies. CIS.org three part series on the very first border crosser terrorist attack in the country that we've been warning about. FBI, everybody's been warning about this. Well, it happened and everybody kind of ignored it. So I wanted to make sure it didn't get ignored out there@cis.org and also I just want to mention that I am going to be in Indianapolis on Wednesday, January 15, blood red Indianapolis, to speak at the Meridian Hills Country Club. And I'll give everybody the backstory there.
- [51:39]
Brenda Simone
Hang on, you're going to hold with us. I got to go through. The confrontation on Sanctuary City is going to be in Chicago. We're going to spend a few minutes on the other side. Remember, he's got the third World War, he's got the economy and the debt. He has the deportation, immigration, the border, everything like that. And then three, the other part of the matrix. He's got the executive orders, he's got the legislation one versus two, plus his other legislation. But the big one, one big bill versus two and the confirmation, we've got to make sure And I think in the next hour I'm going to have everybody get on the ramparts. The Senate needs to know Trump's confirmations need to be quick marched. He needs to get in and have his team. The nation needs this, the world needs this Short break. Back in a moment.

I want to warn you of a huge change that could be coming to our money in our bank accounts. First, think back to 9, 11, shortly after the government pushed through the Patriot Act. This gave the government power to spy on innocent Americans by monitoring our phone and email and tracking our movement across the Internet. Now Jim Rickards, editor of the independent financial newsletter, Strategic Intelligence and New York Times best selling author, is warning about a coming event that could elevate this governmental surveillance to a terrifying new level. In fact, some of the guests I've had on the War Room believe that the government will soon expand their powers to track our every move. If we say the wrong things on social media, donate to the wrong causes, buy firearms, or even vote maga, the government may be able to shut us out of our bank accounts. I can't say for sure if this will happen, but it's an interesting and dire warning. Fortunately, Jim Rickards, an American patriot and friend of mine, has made it his mission to educate us on what he believes is coming and how to protect yourself from the possibility of programmable money. Watch Jim's warning video now before it's censored like I've been in the past. Go to Rickards war room.com that's Rickards war room.com now to see the video.
