Episode 4184: Witch Hunt Of Trump Ends In Unconditional Discharge ...
Loading summary
Stephen K. Bannon
For you is that to the surprise.
Mike Davis
Of many, including, I'll be honest myself.
Stephen K. Bannon
The Supreme Court has denied, denied Donald Trump's bid to stay his criminal sentence.
Mike Davis
He is scheduled to be sentenced tomorrow.
Stephen K. Bannon
To no jail time, but as of tomorrow, he will officially be sentenced for.
Mike Davis
The 34 count felony conviction in New York. The Supreme Court asked and answered. They have said no to Donald Trump's bid to stay his sentencing.
Julie Kelly
Judge Mershawn Mika has already told us that he is leaning inclined to an unconditional discharge, meaning a sentence of no sentence. That's unusual and highly unusual. And all my years as a federal prosecutor, I've never seen anything like it. Almost always there's a term of incarceration, or at least supervised release, probation, community service, a fine, restitution. Something attaches to the conviction. And here Judge Mershon has said there will be no sentence. But what that means too, and this is important, is that the underlying criminal case is over. The judgment is final. Mr. Trump, of course, has the right to appeal to a higher court in New York State. But the sentencing proceeding puts an end to to the underlying case. It makes Mr. Trump a felon. Before he assumes office for the second time, I am looking to see whether or not he has anything to say. Many defendants do, some don't. I don't imagine that he will be.
Mike Davis
Apologetic, but felon almost in name only. Chuck, are there any tangible consequences? Because when and if we do hear from Donald Trump, he's going to say this is political persecution, it's a witch hunt. He's not going to take ownership of it.
Julie Kelly
Right. So are there any practical consequences, Stephanie.
Mike Davis
For the layman, like me?
Julie Kelly
No.
Mike Davis
No. So he wins.
Julie Kelly
Well, he's still convicted. And perhaps you draw some sustenance from that. I do. A jury of his peers found him guilty by proof beyond a reasonable doubt and unanimously. So that means something to me. But does he serve time? Does he have to pay a fine? It doesn't seem like that will be the case.
Joe Hoff
This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies. Because we're going medieval on these people.
Mike Davis
Reasons I got a free shot on.
Joe Hoff
All these networks lying about the people.
Mike Davis
The people have had a belly full of it.
Joe Hoff
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.
Stephen K. Bannon
It's going to happen. And where do people like that go.
Mike Davis
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.
Stephen K. Bannon
What is my purpose?
Mike Davis
If that answer is to save my.
David Zier
Country, this country will be saved. War Room here's your host, Stephen K. Banner.
Mike Davis
It's Friday, the 10th of January, in the year of our Lord 2025. Welcome. You're in the War Room. We're going to have news today and analysis from, you know, going from Moscow and Kyiv to the shores of the Pacific and Pacific Palisades to talk about that situation out there. Also, it's a workday Texas, a massive and important speaker of the House race that we're going to get into a little later. And also the most important work we have today is manning the ramparts and these confirmations of Kash Patel and Bondi and Pete Hexseth, et cetera. So it's a workday here in the war room, but we got to start with this fiasco in New York City. President Trump, I think, is speaking right now, and he's giving him the old what for about how this has destroyed the legal system, the judiciary. This is a show trial. It's a sham. It's a kangaroo court. Prosecutors are jumping in as President Trump speaks. Say President Trump, I think before the prosecutor said how President Trump had destroyed the system. So we have a lot to go through. Mike Davis joins us. Julie Kelly is going to be on in a moment. MIKE davis, we're seeing this in real time. There are no microphones or cameras in the court. This is a New York State Superior Court, I guess it is. And so we're getting all this from texts or from tweets people are putting out in real time. What's your sense? Today is when mershawn the Supreme Court last night, shockingly. And this is what happens. You know, Coney Barrett was supposed to be the was supposed to be the pick and all the right to life. People loved her. And she's been a total and complete unmitigated disaster, except for that one topic. I'll be blunt. She's not exactly, she's not exactly Felix Frankfurter in the mental area. And she just had one bad ruling, five to four last night, Roberts and Coney Barrett deciding against the president. Mike Davis put in perspective for us what happened last night with the Supreme Court and what's going on today in this courtroom.
David Zier
Yeah. So when you import the third World, you become the third world. And we have this corrupt, partisan, dangerous, Third World trash. Marxist judge in Manhattan, Juan Merchan, who donated to Trump's political opponents, whose adult daughter, Lauren Michonne, got paid by the Kamala campaign, whose adult daughter, Lord Michonne, is raising money off of this unprecedented bogus criminal prosecution of a former and future president. There are so many reversible errors in this case. The most glaring right now is that this Merchan ignored the Supreme Court's June presidential immunity decision when the judge refused to declare a mistrial after he allowed in testimony from two top White House aides against President Trump, which is a violation of presidential immunity. Right. And so again, so many reversible errors didn't tell President Trump what the crime was made up. A bogus crime based upon a bogus legal theory. A Soros funded Manhattan daa, Alvin Bragg, who campaigned on getting Trump, brought this case after Matthew Colangelo got deployed from the Biden Justice Department. The number three official in the Biden Justice Department, a senior political operative, to bring this bogus case. The prior Manhattan da, a Democrat, Cy Vance, refused to bring this case. The Federal Election Commission refused to bring this case. Bragg himself refused to bring this case. And then Colangelo got deployed cuz Bragg is George Soros puppets. And then we have this sentencing today and wait, this is 34 felony counts. They say he's 34 felony convictions. It's so serious and it's so solemn. Well, so why isn't Mershan putting President Trump in prison today? And we know the answer. The answer is, even Merchan knows. This is lawfare. It's election interference. It's bogus. And this is all about giving President Trump a political black eye 10 days before he's supposed to get sworn in as the President of the United States. And what's so dangerous about this Supreme Court precedent that was set last night? Steve, is this okay? The Supreme Court is saying that a partisan, corrupt, dangerous local prosecutor and judge has the ability they can put a president elect in prison 10 days before his inauguration. Because remember, Mershawn said, he said he's probably not going to put President Trump in prison and put conditions on him, but he left that open. So the Supreme Court is saying that's okay, apparently, because you have three partisan hacks on the Supreme Court along with a law professor with her head up her ass and a Chief justice who is a very bad politician.
Mike Davis
Mike, hang on for one second. We're gonna work through this. Joe Hoff's actually gonna join us a little later to walk through these ridiculous bogus charges. Julie Kelly, a stunning. You were on the 5 o'clock show and I said, hey, it's getting pretty late in the day. What's gonna happen here. And it kind of played out like we thought. I was stunned. Coney Barrett and Roberts, both a disgrace, sided with the radicals about President Trump. Your thoughts, ma'am?
Unknown Speaker
Well, I mean, I share everyone's outrage, especially at Amy Coney Barrett, but I think it's to recall that although she was with the majority in the July immunity ruling, she wrote a separate opinion and she sort of disagreed with Justice Roberts, Chief Justice Roberts in the majority, that these outer perimeter acts in the presidency should not be immune from prosecution. So, yes, she voted with the majority, but she still had to throw her two cents in. She also, more egregiously, I think, was in the majority with Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor in the Fisher decision upholding how the DOJ weaponized and abused that post Enron statute against president and more than 300 J6ers. She's an absolute disgrace and people are infuriated because they fought so hard for her. But also, Chief Justice Roberts issued a report last, I think it was right after the first of year talking about disinformation being such a threat to the courts, how the courts are above reproach that people criticizing judges are out of line. I mean, this was this whole missive talking about really denouncing public criticism of judges. This would have been a perfect opportunity for him to send a message to other judges, even though Mershon is not a federal judge. Look, we can't have this kind of partisanship because this is what is destroying the credibility of the judiciary right now. Instead, he endorses what Marshan is doing, not only trying to officially make President Trump a convicted felon today, also allowing him to rant from the bench, which he will presumably will do because that's what he just did in his order that he issued on January 3rd. But this is, this matter is still pending before the New York Appellate Court. And Mike could probably speak to this better than I can. Usually when there's an appeal pending related to immunity, the proceedings are suspended. That's exactly what happened in the Washington J6 case. So he's appealing this conviction based on presidential immunity, which, of course, that order came down after he was convicted in May of 2024. This relates to conduct when he was president the first time. So there's a very good chance that this conviction will be overturned anyway. What a mess the Supreme Court just made, to Mike's point. And at a time when the Supreme Court, Democrats and the left, of course, are going after the court and their credibility in the eyes of Democrats is diminishing. This certainly does not help bolster our support of this court, especially the chief justice, by that stunt that they pulled last night.
Mike Davis
Mike, let's take that head on. I mean, here's the problem you have and you brought it up and she reinforced it. You can have these out of control, source backed. I mean, you got Alvin Bragg, Tish James, you have these out of control people. That's going to happen. That's just going to happen. And we're trying to protect the system here. Of course, Trump they see as an existential threat to their system and he is. But then you have a guy like Marshan. I don't even know if we got Marshawn's. There's questions about even, you know, how he's even a US Citizen. There's all kind of questions about all of this. It's the Supreme Court that's supposed to step in here and say, hey, pencils down. I mean, to me the most outrageous thing is Roberts once again because he's so weak. But Coni Barrett just, I mean, hey, I think she ought to think about an early retirement. I mean that and give President Trump a opportunity. If she, if she had any class, she would immediately step down after President Trump took the oath of office on the 20th. I mean, this, I'm going to be all over this. Coney Barrett, as a matter of honor, personal honor, should step down from the Supreme Court and allow President Trump's one of his first acts is to start putting a replacement for her in the Supreme Court. This is outrageous. Am I too far out of line here? I mean, this is outrageous what the Supreme Court did. Mershad and these guys are gangsters. Look what they did in this thing. We're going to have hoft here just to reinforce how outrageous this is. I tell you what, Mike, hang on. We're going to go to the break and we'll bring you and Julie back. A dark day after a. The American people sat as a jury on this on the 5th of November in the year of our Lord 2024. The American people, after dealing with this for years, rendered a verdict. Remember Lincoln said this is very important to do these policies, but then give time for the American people to turn it over in their mind. If you think of all the onslaught of the media against this, you know, besides War Room, you had a couple other small sites at the time that fought back on this. And the American people listened and they watched and they rendered a verdict that President Trump must return to power to stop this, to stop this weaponization of everything. Else President Trump's got to do. This has got to be. We have to de weaponize this system. You're not going to de weaponize it when you have weak willed people like Chief Justice Roberts who is a total disgrace. But Coney Barrett, outrageous. She should immediately resign from the Supreme Court. At high noon on the 20th. At high noon on the 12th, she's principled. Resign. Let President Trump fill that billet. Short break.
Joe Hoff

David Zier
Use your host, Stephen K. Band.
Mike Davis
Okay, I've got Kelly and Davis. Kelly Davis, that sounds, I think that's the, I think that's what Red with Danny Kaye and Bing Crosby on a White Christmas. I think their act was Kellyanne Davis or something like that. Mike, Julie, just let's go to this report. I think you put it out, by the way, Mershawn did unconditional release. We knew he was going to do, he was pressured to do that but he wanted to be cute. He says, I don't know, maybe we give you some prison time. Maybe send it over to Rikers for a while. That was before. Not today. Today is very straightforward. President Trump made a very, a very, I think brilliant assessment. Our own David Zier from Real America's voice was in the courtroom. David's going to jump out and join us here momentarily as soon as he can get out of the courtroom. Julie. Kelly, tell me about, I mean this thing's so conflicted. The daughter's making money hand over fist and getting bigger donations and getting or bigger participations and bigger, bigger gigs. As her father drops the hammer more on Trump. They were incentivized. They were incentivized to basically break the law against President Trump because they were making more money. Am I too far off base on that, ma'am?
Unknown Speaker
Oh, no. Lauren Merchon, who is the daughter of Lon Merchand, owns a is co owner of a company called Authentic Campaigns. Her co owner, Mike, I forgot his last name was the head of White dudes for Harris. Her website, which I posted earlier today, brag that one of their clients was the Biden campaign with the Harris Walsh campaign. She worked for Kamala Harris during Kamala Harris 2020 primary. In the interim, she has collected and retained top Democrats including those who are running for reelection for the Senate. And running for the Senate this past cycle, Adam Schiff has probably paid her upwards of $8 million. Here are just a few of the bigger disbursements that Authentic Campaigns has received leading up to the election. Tammy Baldwin for Senate, of course, running for reelection in Wisconsin which she pretended to win. I guess they stole it there. $247,000 paid to Lauren Merchand's firm October 28th of 2024. $80,000 November 4th for digital acquisition advertising again, Tammy Baldwin. I mean the number of six figure checks that Lauren Merchand's firm has received. Montanan's protester, October 2024. $60,000. Arizona Democratic Party paid her $40,000 in October 2024. Tammy Baldwin again in October. Another $148,000 check to Lauren Merchant's firm. Fight like hell Tax, which is Gretchen, Gretchen Whitmer's firm. Don't know what she's buying. She was not up for reelection. $187,000 September of 2024. The list goes on. But Steve, I'm going to be totaling this up. As of May of 2024, when President Trump was convicted, how much money Lauren Merschean has raked in as her father Post, post dirty work in the Democratic Party so she can enrich herself and presumably her family. She's like a mini hunter Biden.
Mike Davis
Mike, Mike. Given these facts, how could the Supreme Court. Because now it's not just President Trump and all they're trying to do is smear him. He can't, you know, acts as everybody. The power he's got today from his own efforts, his own moral courage and the war room posse having his back is unprecedented in modern political history. But doesn't the Supreme Court understand what they've basically validated or positively sanctioned as, As a normal course of business, sir.
David Zier
Yeah. Apparently with the Supreme Court, a president is immune from criminal prosecution, but he's not immune from criminal sentencing 10 days before he becomes the President of the United States. I really think the Chief justice and Justice Amy Coney Barrett thought they were being cute and political here. And all they've done is created a disaster. They've created a lot of anger in America. You're seeing the outrage right now online. And the Chief justice thinks it's his job to protect the legitimacy of the Supreme Court. And I think he caused a lot of damage to the Supreme Court's legitimacy by his cute, political little ruling. I would say to Justice Amy Coney Baritz, it's time for you to get your head out of your ass. You are a rattled law professor and you're embarrassing yourself.
Mike Davis
I know you have too much class to say this, Mike, but she's gotta go. She's gotta step down. But we'll get to war room. Focus on that. I just wanna make sure the argument. Didn't she say, in her opinion, a part of the thing, that. Well, Marshawn said he's not gonna send him to prison, so this is gonna be. He's gonna be released unconditionally. Wasn't that what they leaned on? But that's kind of irrelevant, isn't it? Because Marshawn could have changed his mind at the last second. But it's still the symbolic nature of this, correct?
David Zier
That's exactly right. It's presidential immunity. Julie was talking about this. The smartest non lawyer I know. Smartest lawyer non lawyer I know is Julie Kelly. She said that when you assert immunity, the case has to stop. Right? And that includes, obviously, criminal sentencing. If you are immune from criminal prosecution, you can't be criminally sentenced. Unless it's Amy Coney Barrett and she's at home knitting or whatever the hell she does late at night. She can't get her head out of her ass and understand that criminal sentencing is the worst part of criminal prosecution. So if you're immune from criminal prosecution, you're obviously immune from criminal sentencing. But, you know, we put a 15 part test that, you know, some whackadoodle like Justice Kennedy would be proud of last night that, oh, it's okay, because we'll trash Marxist judge. We import it from the Cali, from the, you know, the Cali cartel in Colombia. We're going to trust that he's going to do the right thing tomorrow.
Mike Davis
Julie Kelly, any update on the whole Jack Smith fiasco on the. So here's what they're trying to do understanding that we're now into the run up for game day, right? And game day, I'm telling you, we're going to do our coverage of the majesty of the ceremony and the event. But we've got all kind of planned out how to follow the action because at high noon it's going to be action, action, action. President Trump is going to fire off the football here with the entire team. This is one of the reasons we got to get these confirmations more, these confirmations done. But what they're trying to do with Marshawn here, he's a convicted felon. Now you're just going to see that all the time now in the New York Times and MSNBC to try to put that in people's minds. But also this Jack Smith, they are trying to do backflips and they've already been ordered to stand down to get out the report, another bias hack thing. And Jack Smith's going to be under investigation. Asmar, Sean's going to be under investigation. Bragg's going to be under investigation. This is all going to, this all falls under the vast criminal conspiracy to stop Trump of which the American people rendered a verdict and said, hey, we want Trump. So now we're going to go on the offense here, but they're going to try to do everything possible to put as many markers out there. Give me an update on the Jack Smith fiasco.
Unknown Speaker
So despite a court docket in Florida that has more than 700 entries, despite wall to wall coverage of the J6 case proceedings in Washington, despite an 845 page report issued by the January 6th select committee and just non coverage of President Trump January 6th. Now, for four years, Jack Smith has authored a report which special counsels can do at the conclusion of their work and submit it to the attorney general. Apparently he has written a report, two volumes, volume one dealing with the J6 case that has been dismissed and the volume two, the classified documents case in Florida, which also has been dropped against the president but not his two co defendants. Well, the two co defendants in that case filed an immediate seeking an injunction from Jack Smith, releasing that report because there's still ongoing litigation there. Judge Cannon issued an immediate order preventing Jack Smith and the Department of Justice from sharing that draft report which was given to Merrick Garland on Tuesday, sharing that report outside of the department while Jack Smith and DOJ went crazy and went to the appellate court, of course, asking them to reverse Judge Cannon and asking them not to permit them to release this report. Last night, the 11th Circuit Appellate Court did deny the co defendants. So basically Trump's side denied their motion seeking to prevent the release of this report. However, Judge Cannon's order still is in effect for three more days. Well, what happens.
Mike Davis
Yeah, but my point is. Hang on, hang on, hang on. But hang on, hang on. Judge Cannon's got it in there. But Sunday night, and that's how you drive the news cycle. Sunday night at midnight, it goes away. So at 12:01 in the morning a.m. they can release it to the news media to make it put it on the front page of the New York Times and have it lead CNN and msnbc. Unless something else happens that will, I mean, they'll give it to Jamie Raskin, but Jamie Raskin is going to take the biggest things and give it right to the New York Times. So this, what you're telling me, unless I don't understand this, is that Monday morning people should be looking for this on Friday to drive the news cycle over the weekend is going, he's a convicted felon, right? And now on Monday they're going to come back with, oh, he should be, he should have been convicted on all this stuff because he's an insurrectionist. I mean, that's their two gun approach here, right? This is not random events, folks. This is not randomly happening. Garland didn't think about doing this around this. Absolutely. Hang on. Julie Kelly, Mike Davis, hang on for a second. Joe Hoff's gonna join us. Hopefully we're gonna get down to Texas. We get that website's worker go to Texas about this speakers race. We got all kind of geopolitics, capital markets, but hey, this is what we got to spend our time on. They're coming after Trump. Anybody thinks this thing's over and anybody that thinks that they believe that what's going to happen on the 20th of January at noon means anything to them, it does not. They're going to be actually Mormonized. Look how rabid they are. These are like rabid dogs. They're like rabid dogs. What happened in New York today is what rabid dogs do. Jack Smith's a rabid dog. And metaphorically, what do you do with rabid dogs? You lay them down. Well, that's what we're going to do in this investigation. A very vast criminal conspiracy against President Trump.
Joe Hoff
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 bestselling 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 rickardswarroom.com that's rickardswarroom.com now to see the video.
David Zier
Here's your host, Stephen K. Ban.
Mike Davis
Julie, I know you got a bounce. Any summary thoughts before you go?
Unknown Speaker
There's still a lot of moving parts, I think today happening in Florida related to the report. So more motions being filed. So I will keep an eye on that and hopefully be back tonight on War Room.
Mike Davis
Yeah, we'll see. We'll see you back tonight. Julie's also going to hit the Benny Johnson show. So Rennie, you want to catch that, be up with the great Benny Johnson and in full makeup, just saying thank you, Julie.
Unknown Speaker
Kellogg's beautiful like Mike Davis.
Mike Davis
I'm sorry, this is like all about E. This is like no Broadway Danny Rose with, with the. They make the star and the star moves on to a bigger, better deal. BB she's bbding me Bigger, better deal. Thank you, Julie. Come back anytime.
Unknown Speaker
I will. Thank you.
Mike Davis
By the way, to my producer, make sure you cancel all Julie Kelly's. I'm just kidding. She's the best. Mike Davis, you know, from the engine room of the war room. You know, we have the guys in the engine room, they sent me and it was quite brilliant. I've been talking about the collapse of complex systems. This is Darren Beatty's theory of the case, which is brilliant that when you say we're getting like a third world country. Beatty actually took that because he's a genius about six months ago and did this whole theory of the case about the collapse of complex systems, starting with our aerospace, you know, the problems we had with air traffic controls. You can see it in Pacific Palisades. And what's happening there, Firemen not even showing up, no water. When they do show up. This collapse of complex systems, that is what's going to take the United States back to the Third World. You're seeing this action in the judicial system. It is like a Third World banana republic. And what infuriates me is that the guardians of this right, the guardians of this should be the Supreme Court of the United States. That's why the Supreme Court's always been held in such high esteem and revered here. They're as big a part of the problem as these Third World gangsters in New York City, sir.
David Zier
Yeah, that's the problem, is they're weak. Right. President Trump's biggest and most consequential accomplishment of his first term was the transformation of the Supreme Court and the lower federal courts. And they largely get it right. And it's a hell of a lot better than it would have been under Hillary Clinton if she got to replace Justice Scalia on the Supreme Court instead of President Trump. But I'll tell you this, it's on these key cases like this, where these justices think that they can be political and cute, that they cause grave damage to the court's legitimacy. And the Chief justice is the most culpable of this. When we were on the Supreme Court, we called this being chiefy, meaning you do these little. He's conservative, for sure. People think he's liberal. He's not. He's conservative. But he plays these little political games where he tries to throw a bone to the left and split the baby. And now he has this rattled law professor with her head up her ass, Justice Amy Coney Barrett, going along with this. And all it does is when he thinks he's depoliticizing the court, he's actually making it more political and therefore making it lose its legitimacy.
Mike Davis
The Republicans you already seen online, there are a lot of Republicans just want to move on. We're not moving on from this. We're not going to move on from this. This is what the war room is built for. We're not moving on from this. And here's why. We're not going to move on for it, Mike, because they're going to want to move on, and then they're going to be in President Trump's ear. They're going to get all over him, the billboard, that whole Republican establishment legal crowd, and the National Review, all the geniuses over there, and they're not going to want to do go after the vast criminal conspiracy that got us here. That has to happen for this republic. This is not about Trump. It's not about Navarro, not about Bannon, not about Tom Barrack. It's not about any of that. This is about what they did and we have to sort this. Not going to stop until you force it and make it to stop. This is the problem. This is why the Republican Party and Fox News are controlled opposition. We didn't get into this position because people fought the entire way is they surrendered the entire time because it's easier. Roberts knows that. He goes to the cocktail parties and he doesn't get stink eye. Right. If you're not getting stink eye, you're not doing your job right. If you're getting invited to cocktail parties, you're not doing your job right. Your job is not to go party. This is also. I want to give a shot to everybody coming this weekend. I realize people want to celebrate, commemorate, hey, we got to be on the ramparts and ready to go to work here. 20 January is 10 days away and if we don't hit it with muzzle velocity, I mean, bang, bang, bang, the apparatus and the media apparatus is going to grind us to a halt. We've only begun the hard work here, Mike. You see in their surrender already in this because they're already saying, oh, Trump, it doesn't mean anything symbolically, let's move on. You can't move on from this. If you move on from this, you're agreeing with it. If you don't fight it and take it out root and branch. And yes, it's hard and it's nasty and we'd rather spend our time doing other things. Right? I mean, Mike Davis was the confirmation czar in the first Trump term. That's why we got. And he's too humble to tell you. But the work, not just for Gorsuch and Kavanaugh and Cody, but I mean, the work for these other federal judges is hard work. It's pick and shovel work. But we gotta do this, Mike. We gotta fight this. Are you with me on this, brother?
David Zier
Let me just say this to the Republican legal establishments. We're not turning the other cheek this time. We're not putting in fedsock cuck lawyers in the Justice Department. We're putting in people like Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche and Emil Bove and John Sauer and Harmeet Dillon and Gail Slater and so many other savages who are going to go in there and they're going to clean up that Rat's Nest along with Kash Patel at the FBI. And this is not gonna happen again. We turned the other cheek after Crossfire Hurricane, after Obama and Biden and Hillary ran the biggest corruption ever by politicizing and weaponizing our intel agencies and law enforcement to go after President Trump. And it's not gonna happen again this time. We're not putting in wimps in the Justice Department. We're not gonna put wimps on the court. We're gonna put savages in this time. The difference is project was not around in 2017 at the beginning of the first Trump administration. We would not have made the mistakes we made if we had the Article three projects back then. And I'm going to make damn sure those mistakes are not made this time. And we're not going to have Cox turning the other cheek.
Mike Davis
Let me, before I go to. Before I let you go, I want to turn confirmations. I'm going to get more into this later because I got Zir and I got Alan, Colonel West. I got to get up. Confirmations is everything right now. Now they have started to pull up some stuff. I think Pam's going to be on Tuesday, but we need double down more. You need to contact, you need to contact your Senate's office today. You need to tell them, hey, we got the hairy eyeball on you and we want these things to move. We want to move quickly, fairly, do whatever you got to do, but we want to move it through the process. We want to get to these committee votes quickly and then get them to the floor. No backing stuff up. Trump needs his team and he needs his team as close to the 20th of January as possible. Mike Davis, your thoughts? I know you guys are working with us shoulder to shoulder on this.
David Zier
Look, the Article 3 project has the best team in America to handle Republican confirmations. We have a lean and mean team. There are eight of us who've worked on these confirmations. The hardest battles, including the Kavanaugh fight. And we're ready to go. We've been ready to go. Remember when President Trump picked Cash Patel and Pete Hegseth and Tulsi Gabbard, the very smart people, including all the establishment Republicans in D.C. said those nominations are dead on arrival. And then the Article 3 project teamed up with the War Room Posse, the most powerful coalition out there. And in three days after we lit up their phone lines, burned down their phone lines and blew up their emails, they went from dead on arrival to three days later. When can they start? We need to keep that pressure up. This is going to be a slog every day for the next four years. The establishment to try to knife Trump every chance they can. We're going to keep our eyes on them and we're going to be ahead of them. We're going to be putting them on defense instead of being on defense. So go to article3project.org posse. Go there and take action. Pete Hegseth, Tulsi, Gabbard, Cash Patel, those are the, those are the big fights right now.
Mike Davis
These are the big fights. And remember, these are the showtime fights. But let's go back. We get 4,000 folks, 3,000 can hit the beach running with a security clearance. The other 1000, 1000 have got to be confirmed by the Senate. If you take the department heads, it's those second, it's the undersecretaries, those deputies, those systems all have to be confirmed. We're going to be pounding on all of those. That's where the real work is. And first of all, we need that. We need the top guys. You need the showtime guys, right? But then you need the, you need the guys, right? Men and women, right underneath that, then you need all the Alphabet agencies. We're going to be hammering this every day. Those 1,000 must move and move quickly. Trump needs his team, and he doesn't need his team two years from now. He needs his team now. Now, now. Mike Davis, one more time, where do they go to Article 3 on that point?
David Zier
They waited 18 months to confirm President Trump's Justice Department officials last time because of the bogus Russian collusion hoax Crossfire Hurricane. Again, there must be severe legal, political and financial consequences for Crossfire Hurricane and the resulting criminal indictments of Trump and the fraud case where they tried to bankrupt him, where they tried to kill him by underfunding his Secret Service protection by taking him off the ballot. Justice is coming. I guarantee it. We're going to fight every day from the Article 3 project to make damn sure justice is coming. And it's article3project.org, article number three project.org donate there. Follow us on social media. The most important thing is take action. You are the most powerful force in Washington. Take action.
Mike Davis
Yeah, you're feared. Thank you very much, Mike. Appreciate you taking this much time today.
David Zier
Thank you.
Mike Davis
A black day on the American legal system. Also, you got Bill Blaster. Bill Blasser has all these components to it, too. Grace will push that out into the chat rooms. Go to the Article 3 project. We're working in conjunction. All this. The number also 202-2243, 1, 2, 1. I hope I got your Irish up this morning. We need you at the ramparts, manning the ramparts this morning. The Senate's gotta be put on notice. Look, it's very easy to look away. It's very easy to say, well, you know, we got so much to do. It's very easy to say, well, it's over, you know, let's just move on. No, we're not moving on. The way that Trump came back and had the sweeping victory is the fact that you, this audience, did not move on. You dug in and went digging in. You act as kind of a fulcrum. You act as a rally point for others that maybe not so committed or quite frankly, maybe afraid so, this fight. And I'm just warning everybody because I've seen a lot of people, you know, look, part of the run up to the, you know, to the inauguration is obviously commemorations and balls, everything. And that's good. It's very healthy. And we're actually going to be doing some of that and we're going to get the war and posse that around the area to come and join us on a couple of things we're going to try to do. But right now it should be 20, it should be 36 hours a day hammering on this. That, that 20th of January is not an end point. It's a launch point. It's a launch point and you have to hit, as Bartley said, it's got to have muzzle velocity. I think President Trump's talking about 100 executive orders. Stephen Miller briefed the Senate with Trump, was it yesterday, two days ago, on 100 executive orders. Now, I don't happen to think they're going to get all of those through towards the process OLC, but there'll be 50 plus. There'll be enough to keep you, to keep you occupied on that day. And they'll be in very different, different areas. But the concentration will be on the border and on deportations and on immigration. And I think you're going to see Homan in action. I think you'll see the president in action. I think you'll see Kristi Noem in action. We're going to fire up the football on this. We need to get Kristi Noem in 202-224-312. Want to tell your senator, hey, I don't want to hear it. I don't care if you got to work over the weekend. I don't care what you've got to do. We need, at the committee level, we need these, we need these hearings. I think we need them next week. Then you got to vote quickly on the committee. Do your job. Not saying don't do your job, do your job. Just expedited quick march. We got work to. We're burning daylight right now and you see if you, if you, if you ease up for a second, if you ease up for a second, you see exactly what's going to happen and that's what's happening in New York with this bogus situation. Now, President Trump doesn't have any penalty on this. David Zier was there. He's going to join us. Colonel west, we're going to go out to California. We got Ukraine. We are hacked.

Okay. The intrepid David Zier joins us from lower Manhattan. David real America's voice investigative reporter in New York City is was in the courtroom. Put us in the room, David. It's a day of infamy in New York City. The great New York City. How far it's fallen. The kind of third world banana republic justice. But put us in the room, brother.
Stephen K. Bannon
Yeah. Felony assaults up 146% on the subway. Judge Merchan walks into the room. They let a few dozen media outlets in the main courtroom. I got in there, and they began by reviewing probation reports. And then the prosecution goes on a tear against Donald Trump, saying that he caused irreparable damage to the criminal justice system, system, to paraphrase. And that Trump entered into, you know, false attacks, that this was a sham and a witch hunt, and engaged in. Engaged in dangerous rhetoric and threatened to retaliate. And again, they're saying the criminal justice system was put, and the court was put in harm's way here. And. But then they called for the unconditional discharge. The most vital solution to ensure finality and allow defendants to pursue the presidency. The public interest would not be served by imprisonment. And then Blanche responded. And of course, he disagreed with that assessment, saying, many legal experts say this case never should have been brought forth, and the American people agreed by the results of the election. But Merchan bent on giving Trump that scarlet letter F for felon, right? He wound up saying, in the end, you know, this was the toughest decision I ever had to make. And the sentencing part is always the toughest part. Trump got up. Trump was allowed to respond via video from Florida. And he said, this is a terrible experience and a setback for New Yorkers. This was the case Bragg didn't want to bring originally. It was amazing how this progressed. These were legal fees and transactions never should have been brought forth. But you know what's funny? When Trump was speaking, the keyboards were blazing away in there by the leftist media around me, and they were laughing and snickering as Trump was making, you know, his comments. I thought that was really despicable. And Trump said, listen, American cities are burning to the ground. And just, I just wanted to add, you know, New York City for the first week of January of 2025, murders were up 50% over the first week of January 2024, and rapes were up 30%. And the 77,000 New Yorkers have been victims of felony and misdemeanor assault over the last year here. So New York City is a disaster, and congestion pricing kicked in. I had to cross under the cameras, you know, to get into the city today. People are being forced onto the subway where they're being beaten. Even congestion price advocates were beaten at the 23rd street station in Chelsea the other day. And the city is a mess and a nightmare. And valuable resources are being diverted by stuff like this instead of towards the real problems for New York City. Steve.
Mike Davis
The reason the city, because it's the greatest city in the world. The reason the city is a mess now is law and order. It's because of, it's because of Bragg. It's because of Tish James, is because of people like Marshawn. Am I incorrect in that?
Stephen K. Bannon
No. This was the trifecta. You take German, you take the E. Jean Carroll case and this, this is a trifecta. While a lot of violent crimes are not, you know, prosecuted in New York City, you've got corruption in the New York City Police Department. They can't meet their recruitment goals. Again, the police force is almost half of what it was under Bernie Carrick and Giuliani and it's a total disaster. And then the New York City Council's up there celebrating. Oh, crime was down 5% from murders and shootings in December, but they forgot to mention that rapes are up 20% for the year and felony assaults are at a 26 year high. 26 year high for subway murder high right now. And people are still getting thrown on the tracks. People were slashed the other day. There were more stabbings here. And the quality of life in New York is abysmal.
Mike Davis
David, where do people go to get your. It's a black day, black mark on New York City today that will never scrub out. Where do people go to find you on Real America's Voice and your social media?

Summary of Podcast Episode 4184: "Witch Hunt Of Trump Ends In Unconditional Discharge"
Podcast Information:
The episode opens with a discussion about the Supreme Court's decision to deny Donald Trump's bid to stay his criminal sentencing. Hosts Stephen K. Bannon and Mike Davis, along with guest Julie Kelly, delve into the implications of this ruling.
Stephen K. Bannon announces the Supreme Court's denial:
“The Supreme Court has denied Donald Trump's bid to stay his criminal sentence.” [00:05]
Mike Davis adds:
“He is scheduled to be sentenced tomorrow.” [00:11]
Julie Kelly provides insights into the sentencing:
“Judge Mershawn Mika has already told us that he is leaning inclined to an unconditional discharge, meaning a sentence of no sentence. … I do not imagine that he will be.” [00:34]
The unconditional discharge signifies that, despite the 34 felony convictions, Donald Trump may not face immediate punitive actions such as jail time, fines, or probation.
Mike Davis questions the tangible consequences:
“So he wins.” [01:53]
Julie Kelly counters by emphasizing the significance of the conviction:
“A jury of his peers found him guilty by proof beyond a reasonable doubt and unanimously. So that means something to me.” [01:54]
The hosts express strong sentiments that Trump's legal challenges are politically motivated, characterizing them as a "witch hunt."
Joe Hoff voices frustration:
“This is the primal scream of a dying regime. ... We're going medieval on these people.” [02:18]
Stephen K. Bannon echoes the inevitability of such actions:
“It's going to happen. And where do people like that go.” [02:34]
Mike Davis emphasizes public discontent:
“The people have had a belly full of it.” [02:29]
A significant portion of the discussion centers on the Supreme Court Justices, particularly Amy Coney Barrett and Chief Justice Roberts, accusing them of partisanship and undermining the judiciary's credibility.
David Zier criticizes Justice Barrett and the handling of the case:
“Amy Coney Barrett, ... she is an absolute disgrace and people are infuriated because they fought so hard for her.” [05:09]
Julie Kelly elaborates on Chief Justice Roberts' actions:
“Instead, he endorses what Marshan is doing, not only trying to officially make President Trump a convicted felon today...” [09:05]
Mike Davis urges for judicial accountability:
“Coney Barrett, ... She should immediately step down from the Supreme Court and allow President Trump's one of his first acts is to start putting a replacement for her in the Supreme Court.” [12:10]
The conversation explores the possibility of Trump's conviction being overturned on appeal, highlighting issues like presidential immunity and procedural errors in the trial.
David Zier discusses presidential immunity:
“If you are immune from criminal prosecution, you're obviously immune from criminal sentencing.” [20:26]
Julie Kelly points out procedural oversights:
“The underlying criminal case is over. ... Mr. Trump, of course, has the right to appeal to a higher court in New York State.” [01:54]
The hosts outline plans to address ongoing legal challenges and focus on upcoming political events, such as confirmations and potential executive actions by President Trump.
Mike Davis emphasizes the importance of Senate confirmations:
“We need to get those committee votes quickly and then get them to the floor. ... These are the big fights right now.” [38:28]
David Zier highlights the role of the Article 3 Project:
“We're going to fight every day from the Article 3 project to make damn sure justice is coming.” [37:08]
Mike Davis discusses executive orders:
“President Trump's talking about 100 executive orders. ... fight this from root and branch.” [36:20]
In a detailed report, David Zier provides an on-the-ground perspective of the judicial proceedings in New York City, criticizing the city's approach to law enforcement and justice.
David Zier describes the courtroom atmosphere:
“Donald Trump was allowed to respond via video from Florida. ... It was amazing how this progressed.” [45:26]
Julie Kelly adds statistics on crime:
“New York City for the first week of January of 2025, murders were up 50% ... felony assaults are at a 26 year high.” [48:35]
David Zier reflects on the broader implications:
“New York City is a disaster ... valuable resources are being diverted by stuff like this instead of towards the real problems.” [45:26]
The episode concludes with strong calls to action, urging listeners to engage in political processes, support legal initiatives, and participate in community efforts to counter perceived systemic injustices.
Mike Davis urges listeners to take immediate action:
“We need to get Kristi Noem in 202-224-312. ... Take action and do it today.” [40:22]
David Zier reinforces the necessity of proactive measures:
“Justice is coming. ... Take action.” [37:08]
Stephen K. Bannon emphasizes the ongoing struggle:
“20 January is 10 days away ... This is a launch point and you have to hit, as Bartley said, it's got to have muzzle velocity.” [30:22]
Legal Proceedings: Donald Trump's 34 felony convictions face an unconventional sentencing of unconditional discharge, raising questions about the judiciary's handling of high-profile cases.
Judicial Criticism: The Supreme Court Justices, especially Amy Coney Barrett and Chief Justice Roberts, are criticized for perceived partisanship and undermining judicial integrity.
Presidential Immunity: Discussions highlight the complexities of presidential immunity in criminal cases, suggesting potential avenues for appeal and overturning convictions.
Political Mobilization: The hosts emphasize the importance of swift and decisive political actions, including Senate confirmations and executive orders, to support Trump's administration.
Community Action: Listeners are urged to engage actively in political processes, support legal defense initiatives, and participate in efforts to address broader systemic issues within the judicial system.
