Donald Trump
This has been a very terrible experience. I think it's been a tremendous setback for New York and the New York court system. This was a case that Alvin Bragg did not want to bring. He thought it was, from what I read and from what I hear, inappropriately handled. Before he got there, a gentleman from a law firm came in and acted as a district attorney. And that gentleman, from what I heard, was criminal or almost criminal in what he did. It was very inappropriate. It was a. Somebody involved with my political opponent. Part of the records that we're talking about, they're saying, I just noticed where he said I was falsifying business records. Well, the falsification of business records, as they said, was calling a legal expense in the books, where everybody could see them a legal expense. In other words, that legal fees or legal expense were put down as legal expense by accountants. They weren't put down by me. They were put down by accountants. I didn't call them construction, concrete work. I didn't call them electrical work. I didn't call them any. They called a legal fee or legal expense a legal expense. And for this I got indicted. It's incredible, actually. Now, if you look, my attorney alluded to it, the top legal scholars and legal pundits in this country, the ones that are quoted all the time on television, that are making their views felt and highly respected, people have said, everyone, virtually everyone that I know of, I haven't seen any to the contrary, not one. And these people are not exactly friends of mine, to put it mildly. But they all said this is a case that should have never been brought. It's an injustice of justice. Very respected. Jonathan Turley, Andy McCarthy, Judge David Rifkin, a wonderful man who just passed away, by the way. Greg Jarrett, Ellie Hoenig from cnn, of all places, CNN said that Paul Ingrassia, Alan Dershowitz, they all said, this is not a case that should be brought. It's not. Think about legal expenses are down as legal expenses and I get indicted for business records. Everybody should be so accurate. It's been a political witch hunt. It was done to damage my reputation so that I'd lose the election. And obviously that didn't work. And the people of our country got to see this firsthand because they watched the case in your courtroom. They got to see this firsthand. And then they voted and I won and got the largest number of votes by far of any Republican candidate in history and won, as you know, all seven swing states won conclusively. All seven swing states and won the popularity, the Popular vote by millions and millions of votes. And they've been watching your trial, so they understood it. I wasn't allowed to use the lawyer client privilege or the reliance on counsel. I had a lawyer that made this deal and he admitted that. And he was also a totally discredited person. We weren't allowed to use the information from the Southern District that totally discredited him and wasn't allowed to be put in. And that was terrible. Unbelievable. And this is a man who's got no standing. He's been disbarred on other matters unrelated. And he was allowed to talk as though he were George Washington, but he's not George Washington. He shouldn't have been allowed. The Southern District did a book of approximately 28 pages where they. I've never seen anything like it. They excoriated him. You wouldn't let it be put into evidence, so he was able to testify as a witness. And I think it's a disgrace to the system. I was under a gag order. I'm the first president in history that was under a gag order where I couldn't talk about aspects of the case that are very important. I guess I'm still under. So probably I won't do it.

Donald Trump
I assume I'm still under a gag order. But the fact is that I'm totally innocent. I did nothing wrong. They talk about business records and the business records were extremely accurately counted. I had nothing to do with them. Any of that was done by an accountant or bookkeeper who I think gave very credible testimony and was corroborated by everybody that was asked. And with all that's happening in our country today, with the city that's burning to the ground, one of our largest, most important cities burning to the ground with. With wars that are uncontrollably going on, with all of the problems of inflation and attacks on countries and all of the horrible things that are going on. I got indicted over calling a legal expense a legal expense. Was called a legal expense. I just want to say I think it's an embarrassment to New York, and New York has a lot of problems, but this is a great embarrassment. I believe that this and other cases that were brought. As you know, the DOJ is. DOJ is very much involved in this case. It's because that's the political opponent they're talking about. The DOJ is very involved. You have a gentleman sitting right there from the DOJ who was from the DOJ's office. He was also involved with the New York State Attorney General's case, and he went from there to here. He went around and did what he had to do. He got them to move on me. But in the meantime, I won the election in a massive landslide. And the people of this country understand what's going on. This has been a weaponization of government. They call it lawfare. Never happened to any extent like this, but never happened in our country before. And I just like to explain that I was treated very, very unfairly. And I thank you very much.

Judge Juan Merchan
Thank you, Mr. Trump. Mr. Trump, you appear before this court today to conclude this criminal proceeding by the imposition of sentence. Although I have taken the unusual step of informing you in advance of my inclinations before imposing sentence, I believe it is important for you, as well as those observing these proceedings, to understand my reasoning for the sentence I am about to impose. The imposition of sentence is one of the most difficult and significant decisions that any criminal court judge is called upon to make. Our legislature sets the parameters for an authorized sentence, but it is a judge that must decide what constitutes a just conclusion to a verdict of guilty. A court is vested with broad discretion in determining what sources or evidence it may consider to arrive at an appropriate sentence. In doing so, the court must consider the facts of the case, along with any aggravating or mitigating circumstances. In my time on the bench, I've been called upon to grapple with this weighty responsibility for countless defendants who have been found guilty after trial for an assortment of offenses ranging from non violent class E felonies to the most heinous of crimes, including homicides, sex trafficking and child sexual abuse. The task is always difficult and deserving of careful consideration whether the sentence be an unconditional discharge or incarceration of 25 years to life. However, never before has this court been presented with such a unique and remarkable set of circumstances. Indeed, it can be viewed fairly that this has been a truly extraordinary case. There was unprecedented media attention, public interest, and heightened security involving various agencies. And yet the trial was a bit of a paradox because once the courtroom doors were closed, the trial itself was no more special, unique or extraordinary than the other 32 criminal trials that took place in this courthouse at the same exact time. Jury selection was conducted, the same rules of evidence were followed, opening statements were made, witnesses called and cross examined, evidence presented, summations delivered. The same burden of proof was applied, and a jury made up of ordinary citizens delivered a verdict. And it was all conducted pursuant to the rules of procedure and guided by the law. Of course, part of what made it feel somewhat ordinary was the outstanding work, preparation and professionalism of the clerks, court officers, court reporters, security personnel, and the entire staff of this building who did their jobs as they would with any other criminal trial. So while one can argue that the trial itself was in many respects somewhat ordinary, the same cannot be said about the circumstances surrounding this sentencing. And that is because of the office you once occupied and which you will soon occupy again. To be sure, it is the legal protections afforded to the Office of the President of the United States that are extraordinary, not the occupant of the office. The legal protections, especially within the context of a criminal prosecution, afforded to the Office of the President have been laid out by our founders, the Constitution, and most recently interpreted by the United States Supreme Court in the matter of Trump versus the United States, which was decided on July 1, 2024. As with every other defendant in your position, it is my obligation to consider any and all aggravating and mitigating factors to inform my decision. Some of those aggravating factors have already been articulated in my Sandoval ruling at the start of this trial and by my recent written decisions on December 16 and January 3. Thus, they need not be repeated at this time. However, the considerable, indeed extraordinary, legal protections afforded by the Office of the Chief Chief Executive is a factor that overrides all others. To be clear, the protections afforded the Office of the President are not a mitigating factor. They do not reduce the seriousness, seriousness of the crime or justify its commission in any way. The protections are, however, a legal mandate which, pursuant to the rule of law, this court must respect and follow. However, despite the extraordinary breadth of those protections, one power they do not provide is the power to erase a jury verdict. It is clear from legal precedent, which until July 1st was scarce, that Donald Trump, the ordinary citizen, Donald Trump, the criminal defendant, would not be entitled to such considerable protections. I'm referring to protections that extend well beyond those afforded the average defendant who winds their way.

Mershawn is disgusting. And I'm telling you, Mike Davis, we must have an investigation of the criminal conspiracy here. This is a joke. Even Mediaite Isaac Storr over there has an excellent piece about how this garbage case ended with a whimper, not a bang. Now, in the next segment, we're going to play some of the heckling of the usual suspects on MSNBC and cnn, right? They can't get enough of this today. But this is a non victory. The victory is on November 5th. But I needed to play that. You heard President Trump's defense of himself. This was a nothing trial, an Absolute, total joke. I could take time to get Joe Hoff up here and go through the accounting. It was such a joke, a total joke.

Julie Kelly
But.

Steve Bannon
Internalize this because we're now about to shift into the action phase of this project, a project that's many years in the building. And I know that you guys did tremendous, tremendous work to have President Trump's back so he could return and even have the possibility of this political victory, Even the possibility of this political victory. But the hard work is just about to start now because now we're going to start taking down the administrative state. We're going to start taking down the deep state at the same time where President Trump, you know, negotiates and finishes the beginning of the third World War to stop it. Why he begins the deportation of 15 million illegal alien invaders invited here by people that were running this country to invade this country and to destroy the black and Hispanic working class because they weren't compliant enough and to sort out our tremendous financial problems. This is game on. You see today what they did because they wanted to have with President Trump the phrase convicted felon. So now they can use it all the time. Convicted felon. This case was a travesty. This case was a joke. But they had to go to the bitter end. And I put responsibility on Amy Coney Barrett. Let me be brutally frank. She had every opportunity to throw this thing in the trash bin like it was. And it's revolting to me that the Supreme Court had the back of this kangaroo court in New York City. Short break. Back in the war room in a moment.

Steve Bannon
Coni Barrett and Roberts, both a disgrace, sided with the radicals about President Trump. Your thoughts, ma'am?
- [16:21]
Mike Davis
Well, I mean, I share everyone's outrage, especially at Amy Coney Barrett. But I think it 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 the 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 the 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 Mershon 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 3. 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 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.
- [19:24]
Steve Bannon
We wouldn't have made it to this part, this point, to this sentencing, had the judge not decided in advance to do this. Because the Supreme Court's decision yesterday that permitted sentencing to go forward was five, four, very narrow. The justices wrote that among the compelling reasons for letting sentencing go forward was that Trump would walk out of court with no additional encumbrance, that it would be an unconditional discharge. That's how this all came together. I think today there will be a lot of criticism, I think, over the sweep of history. This will become a moment where people in a courtroom stood up for the rule of law against Donald Trump, and that will be significant to happen, and it did.
- [20:06]
Brent Money
The Supreme Court last night, Justice Amy Coney Barrett, Justice John Roberts, they did not intervene and stop today from taking place. And I think when we take a step back in American history and look at that decision, decision last night to not intervene, it allowed this process to take place. Not just for us to all look back at the actual verdict that this jury made and the sentencing, but also the message it sends to Donald Trump 10 days before he is about to go back into the White House, into future presidents of the United States. Over those seven weeks, we all listened to testimony from these witnesses inside of that courtroom that testified that Donald Trump, in the lead up to the 2016 election, attempted to improperly influence the outcome, and he won that election. But then we also heard testimony that while he was in the White House, he, with Michael Cohen, went and falsified business records. They had a meeting at the Oval Office in February of 2017, and he went and put his name on checks that served as hush money payment to Stormy Daniels. And coming off the Supreme Court decision here this summer, there are serious questions about the repercussions that would have if Donald Trump were to win this November election. It would have in 2025-2028. I think today was a statement that Donald Trump or any political candidate during your run for the presidency. And while you are in the White House, while your official acts may be protected, a decision is made and there are consequences. You can still walk away out of a courtroom being a convicted felon. I think today, sentencing and seeing this process to its end, he has the opportunity to appeal. But I think that this is a statement not just about Donald Trump, but also the presidency for generations to potentially come.
- [21:44]
Steve Bannon
Talk about the Supreme Court. Okay. Okay. And we have more in the Supreme Court hold that may come back to it. So there what you teed up and Mike Davis teed up today, Julie, this morning was very prescient because all day, all day, all they've been hammering is this, Trump's a convicted felon. Trump's a convicted felon rubbing everybody's nose. And well, Amy Coney Barrett, you know, he selected her, he put on the Supreme Court. Amy Coney Barrett, Amy Coney Barrett, on and on and on again. And I thought Mershawn was particularly weak. Look, you cover this closely, you're the one that's been closer to this. You and Darren Beatty and a couple of folks and of course Mike Davis. I'm not, I mean, I follow it as closely as I can, but you guys know every wrinkle. I, I thought Mershon having his big opportunity on the world stage, kind of wimped out. Am I wrong in that conclusion, ma'am?
- [22:39]
Lindell
I think so. I mean, I didn't see him in the courtroom. I didn't cover those proceedings like I did the other proceedings. But he certainly sounded like a weak sister. What's a legal president? Obviously he meant precedent, so couldn't even get his words right. And he misrepresented the case. And what's at issue and so did the morons on msnbc. Von Hilliard, so what is going to happen when this conviction gets back to the Supreme Court? Not only will Vaughn Hilliard and you know, the Barbara McQuaid's and Andrew Weissman and everyone else have to eat their words because the Supreme Court will have to give an immunity test to this case just like they did the January 6th case. Except the difference is you're dealing with a conviction, not an indictment like they did in the J6 case. So then how will Amy Coney Barrett and Justice Thomas, who, or excuse me, I wish Justice Roberts, who authored the immunity opinion that laid out all the immunity guidance, how is he going to walk this back when he concludes that big parts, and this is the key with the immunity ruling, and Mike Davis has probably addressed this, this is the key with the immunity ruling. Not only can a president, sitting president not be prosecuted for acts in office that are official acts are on the outer perimeter. None of that conduct can be part of any stage of the prosecution, including grand jury, including trial jury. So if there's any element that the Supreme Court determined was an official act or outer perimeter communications with Hope Hicks, communications with other White House employees, the entire conviction is tainted because you can't use immunized conduct in any part of the investigative or prosecutorial stage. So it's inevitable that this prosecutor, that this conviction will be vacated. What will Amy Coney Barrett and Jot and Roberts say then? What will these talking heads say then? Because they can say all they want, including what Juan Merchand tried to do, despicably do in his courtroom today, which is compare Donald Trump to a murderer. That this is just what I see on a daily basis. And he's just never guy defendant. No, he, he is not. Because as the Supreme Court and other courts and DOJ OLC guidance has established for a long time, presidents in some regard are above the law because they have duties that they are the only individual in the country can execute. So and the Supreme Court just, you.
- [25:20]
Steve Bannon
Can'T sit there, you can't sit there and say that no one's above the law. They were clearly targeted. Joe Hoff could come on here and spend 30 minutes and tell you what a joke on accounting issues. This thing was ridiculous at every level. Before I let you go, I do have a question, though. How can Barbara McQuaid, Andrew Weissman, and they got like three or four other clones of Barbara McQuaid that are on there all the time. They have been wrong. They have been. No, they, they've been dead wrong on everything. This is why msnbc, and it's for the owners, the Roberts over there, the reason your numbers have dropped is that both on polling and on these issues, on lawfare, your audience was lied to. They bought into the fact of all this. And then when none of it came out in their, their way, they sat there and go, hang on, how did Trump get back? He was supposed to be swamped. He was supposed to be beaten into democracy. All he's going to spend 100 years in jail, felonies, none of it worked. All of your contributors were not kind of wrong. They're 150% wrong. How? These people still have jobs. That's why people are not coming back. The audiences are not booming because you got the same schmendricks over there just regurgitating the same crap. JULIE Kelly yeah, they do.
- [26:35]
Lindell
Well, look, their listeners and their viewers want to be brainwashed, right? They need to be fed. They're like drug addicts. They need their fix every day. They're anti Trump fix. They wanted to really believe for all these years. And I know we talked about this earlier. I think we did. It was eight years ago today. Steve here's the irony that CNN ran the bogus story on the dossier. CNN, January 10, 2017. Jake Tapper Evan Perez. I think Bob Woodward or someone else was involved in that. Leaking the story of the setup. Jim Clapper, James Comey briefing with President Trump about the dossier and the pee tape. CNN ran with that story eight years ago today. And eight years later, this is the best they can do. They threw everything and this is it. Pathetic.
- [27:25]
Steve Bannon
Now that you bring it up, I was there. So we're going to give you an eyewitness account of what actually happened with the Steele dossier. This shows you what a classy guy is. This is why the FBI needs to be taken down brick by brick. Salt the earth around it over there in Constitution Avenue. Then we'll figure out where we send them. Disgraceful 8 years today. Short break. Julie Kelly's gonna stick with me. We're also gonna go to Texas. There's a firestorm. There's a firestorm in la. There's a political one in Texas. Tuesday, it's gonna be rectified election. One of the most important political positions in this nation. The speaker of the House in Texas. Short break.

Host, Stephen K. Ban. So succinctly when we looked up on the Khiron we're working down in Mar a Lago, I looked up on the Khiron and saw that they had expelled 32, I don't know, Soviet diplomats, spies, whatever, you know, since I worked at the Pentagon, after I came off sea duty as a special assistant to the chief of naval operations, I said, gosh, that's a lot of people to expel and made some phone calls. He said, yeah, that's the most in History, more than the Cuban missile crisis, more than in the eight. When I was there, we were very close to, you know, closest to nuclear war he'd ever been before President Trump took down the evil empire. And I said, gosh, how did they make that decision? Because it said for Russian election interference. I said, hang on for a second. What do you mean? What are you talking about? Remember, I've seen those briefings. So we called and they got the run, and I said, listen, I just want to see the brief. Don't give me a lot of hoo ha. I just want to see the brief. Just show us. Right, so just show us what Obama signed off. And clearly the president had to make that decision. That's a presidential decision. I just want to see. The presentation was made to him and the presidential decision came out of it. This is why, you know, they're liars and phonies. To this day. That presentation has never been. Never. The archives, nobody's got it. They give the who. So what they did is set up afterwards, in January, early January, for us to come back. I said, no. This is, I think even before Christmas. I said, no, just fly them down here. The CIA brief, all of them. Because we get the presidential daily brief at that time, same thing, presidencies. The president elect gets. We haven't seen that anywhere. So we go up, they got to have this big dog and pony show and they got the stack things. They got all their things on stamps on it, all that. Afterwards, I'm doing something for the president elect at that time. It's quite important. He needed me to do it. So we get together immediately after they leave, and Dominic Ganser and Royce Priebus is there, and he said after the meeting, after they gave all the official docs, which didn't add up to anything. Didn't add up to anything. Clapper did his book later, and even Aaron Burnett sitting there goes, you know, Clapper, I go through the book and I think on page 142, you say the most. There was a couple of Facebook pages with $175,000. Is that it? Is that what you got? And he's like, well, you know, it's very important. They could really. They had nothing. Nothing. Here's why, you know, they had nothing. Comey afterwards goes up to the president with a manila envelope and said, Envelope, Mr. President, I think you need to see Mr. President, like, you need to see this. After he made a presentation. If it's official and it's real, it's in the fricking book. With the stamp on it. Don't come up afterwards and hand some guy some side thing. I was out of the room. He took it. Boom. As soon as I heard it, I said, oh, my God, they're going to leak. Comey's going to go down in that car and call. He's going to leak. Now, you can't do New York Times or Washington Post or something like this because they've already seen this. This dossier was floating around. People knew it was phony from the beginning. Totally phony. Think Hillary Clinton started to pay for it and McCain had been shopping around. John McCain, the heroic John McCain. Right. His staff. Right. They did. So they've been shopping it around. Finally they get it. And I think it's BuzzFeed. I think it's. I think it's Smith over at BuzzFeed. They take it because it had been shown to the President elect and that's what they could say. And then the New York Times puts a front page story in the Washington Post puts a front page story and the Chicago Tribune puts a front page story and the LA Times puts a front page story and the Wall Street Journal puts a front page story and the Guardian puts a front page story. You know, as reported in buzzfeed. Little link. As reported in buzzfeed. As reported in buzzfeed. Folks that did that for a living. Breitbart, we were experts at that. Much better than BuzzFeed. Okay, that was it. That's the eighth year. This is the eighth anniversary. They had nothing. This is what they have today, Nothing. They have fought Trump, they have come after Trump. These people are criminals. Julie Kelly, you've done an interesting exercise. I just want to show you the way they roll. Julie Kelly, the daughter and I haven't gotten on the daughter. Marshawn, I mean, everybody's got a daughter. They're all doing stuff. They're running around, doing activities. But in this regard, in this regard, she has. Her business has metastasized since her father's gotten involved in this. You've actually done, you've got, as I say in Ireland, you've done your sums, right? What is. Has it sum up? What is. What is. Was the Merchant girl, What's her business look like in the last couple of months?
- [33:59]
Lindell
Oh, well, you can imagine this has been a very lucrative period for the young Lauren Merchant, who sort of came out of Nowhere, I think 29, 30 years old, established this Democratic digital advertising consulting firm, and she's made tens of millions of dollars in the last, what, five or six Years. So after my hit today, when I was reading some of the big receipts that she has gotten, I totaled up, I went to the FEC reports for Authentic Campaigns, which is her firm, and I total totaled up all the receipts that her firm has raked in since June 1, 2024, shortly after Donald Trump was found guilty by that New York jury. And since that time, Steve, she has received 7.3 million from June 1 to election day. So five months, 7.3 million at least. And these are from heavy hitters. Tammy Baldwin, who is running for reelection, Senate in Wisconsin. Cory Booker, I don't think he was running for reelection. Maybe he was, I don't know. Of course, Adam Schiff has been a longtime client. I think he was one of her first clients. And the last time I totaled up his disbursements to Authentic Campaigns, this was before the general election. I think he had paid her upwards of six to seven million dollars. Gretchen Whitmer, her PAC fight Lake hell. Dan Goldman is also the representative from New York, also a client. Catherine Clark, who is in Democratic leadership, also a client. So this has been very lucrative. I mean, she's getting Authentic Campaigns, is getting big six figure payments for so called digital advertising or consulting or retainers or whatever it's listed. So might be interesting for Trump administration or FEC to make sure all of Lauren Merchant T's are crossed and I's dotted.

Steve Bannon
No, no, no, no, no, no. The administration, they got enough to worry about. This is going to be a special, this is going to be a special prosecutor. The special prosecutor go through all this thing. Colangelo, this is just one aspect of how they made money. This is revolting, it's repulsive. You have to, we have to do this for the Republic. We can never have this law firm again because you can't count on somebody being like Trump. You can't count on somebody with that strength, with that wealth, with that presence. You may just have average, you know, you may have some average schmetrics. The guy's still President of the United States or the woman still President of the United States. We're defending the Constitution here. It has to happen. A special counsel has to be designated. They have to have full subpoena power and panel a grand jury and then off to the races. Let's see how it falls. Julie, you've been on top of this. And of course, you know, if you cut MSNBC and cnn, it's a day that will live in history. It's a historic day. This is a historic day. This is a Historic day. One after the other after the other. Good news is, baby, 10 days from now, Trump will be deep into the first day of work. Their heads are going to be blowing up because, hey, the 20th of January of 2025, 10 days from now. Days of Thunder. Days of thunder. Just stand by MSNBC and cnn. Stand by, stand by. Days of Thunder.

Get you substack declassified with Julie Kelly. Also RealClear Investigations. And spend a lot of time still watching the docket on the Jack Smith Report, pushing to get that out before inauguration day. Julie Kelly 2.

Steve Bannon
Oh, unless the Supreme Court steps in. That's coming Sunday night. That's coming Sunday night at midnight. We'll have Julie, we'll track you down. I gotta do the Jack Smith thing in the report.
- [38:03]
Lindell
Okay.
- [38:04]
Steve Bannon
I think yours truly be, I think yours truly, I think yours truly have a prominent role. I'm not saying I'm having a co starring role with Trump, but I'll have a supporting role, no doubt in the report. P1. I think I am. I'm P1. Thank you, ma'am. I'm P1. Thank yOu, ma'am. And the redacted version. Yeah, that's another one. We got midnight, remember midnight. Jack Smith. And they're bound determined to do that. Couple things we're going to have a little bit later. Facebook. Talk about whiny, how humiliating. He's on Joe Rogan wining Zuckerberg. President Trump, please, with the staff down there, send the million dollars back. We don't want him around the, don't want him around the inaugural. Don't give him a seat. Send the million dollars back. Just send it back. You're raising. I just saw the other day he got $170 million raised, more money than any inauguration. We don't need his million. You don't want this guy around. He's got a bad vibe. He's like you go to, you go to Funk and Wagnall's Dictionary or Webster's under, you know, beta mail. He's there and I realize he's kung fu fighting now. And he's got Dana White on his board. He's all, he's manning up, he's grown up, wants to be a man when he grows up. But guess what, it's not Zuckerberg. Still, he's got to be investigated. $400 million of stole the 2020 election. We'll get into more on that in the second hour. We talk about it. We were permanently banned from Facebook. Why? Oh, because of all the misinformation on the election, which turned out to be right. Correct. The American people just had judgment on the illegitimate regime and they back us. Oh, and also I said Chris Wray and Tony Fauci's head should be in pike. Something said in C suites every day throughout America, thousand times a day, that's permanent ban. And today he says, I was so ill prepared for this. I was so overwhelmed. Come on, dude, man up. Act like a grown man. Somebody's acting like a grown man. Brent Money joins us now from Texas. There's another firestorm. I think it's going to be decided on Tuesday for one of the most powerful positions in politics in the United States. And that would be the speaker of the House of the great state of Texas, which is the railhead of maga, brother. What is going on there? You've uncovered some stuff. Tell our folks what this fight's really about.
- [40:23]
Isaac Storr
Yeah, I think this fight, like a lot of fights in politics, is all about power. And so a lot of people expect that since Texas is the biggest red state, the biggest MAGA state, that we are also the most conservative state in the nation. But that just has not been the case since about. In 2009, the Texas State House was narrowly Republican, 76 Republicans, 74 Democrats. And the Democrats went and made a deal with some of the most liberal Republicans and appointed one of those Republicans as Speaker of the House, a guy named Joe Strauss. And since then, we've gone through several other speakers, Dennis Bonin, Dade, Phelan. And we're about to have a new speaker of the House. But it's followed the same playbook where a majority of the Democrats get with a few Republicans. And so just last month, according to the rules of our caucus, the grassroots are tired of this. The party is tired of this. Democrats selecting which Republican can be the speaker of the House and just destroying our conservative agenda. And so the caucus got together to elect who. Who we were going to nominate as the Republican to be the speaker. And a guy named Dustin Burroughs and a guy named David Cook. David Cook is the reform candidate and Dustin Burroughs as kind of the regime candidate. And when it was clear that Dustin Burroughs wasn't going to win, he and 26 of his friends got up and walked out of the room, refused to participate in the process, and went straight over, literally, to the Democrat caucus and started trying to get their votes. And so once again, even though we have an 88 to 62 majority in Texas, Republicans over Democrats in the House, we are in a situation where the Democrats are going to have a big influence in who our next speaker of the Texas House is.

Steve Bannon
Brent, can you hang on one second? I'm going to hold you into the next segment and maybe even the one after that. We got to get this right. I mean, President Trump won Texas by 14. They spent hundreds of millions of dollars trying to change Texas blue. Remember that? They got Texas purple. Texas is MAGA country. This audience stood up during the impeachment of General Paxton and had his back. Burchgold Philip Patrick is going to be with me tomorrow. He's in la. Of course, he had to evacuate his house.

Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon on the birch goal we're to walk through tomorrow this situation in the bond market which is signaling a liquidity crisis. I shouldn't say crisis signaling a liquidity issue. At the same time, it's now come out that Janet Yellen left. Our own Scott Bessant who was one of our big contributors was here on all the time and now secretary of Treasury. He will have his confirmation hearing next week. We'll do more about that. There's going to be a margin call. President Trump is walking into the middle of a crisis of capital markets throughout the world. It's already turfed out. All of these governments have been turfed out for the same thing, immigration, the Ukraine, war support that led to major financial problems from Germany to France to the United Kingdom to I would argue, Joe Biden and his regime to Canada, even a little bit in South Korea, although South Korea's got the CCP's hand in back of that coup. It's a little bit there, too. So make sure you go to birchgold.com bannon into the dollar empire end up, learn about modern monetary theory, the idea that God is here. Okay. More on that later. Brent. Talk about money. Larry Fink, BlackRock, they've got there's a BlackRock connection here and we're always on watch for Larry Fink and the masters of the universe, the lords of easy money on Wall Street. How do they play here in this Texas situation?
- [46:12]
Isaac Storr
Yeah, this is very interesting. So a few of us started asking each other why are these small group of Republicans working so hard to keep their power and control when it's so clearly against the Republican Party and just common sense? And one of my friends, Mitch Little, wrote a an editorial on X and pointed out that there are connections between Dennis Bonin, who was the speaker of the House, Dade Phelan, who was or is right now the speaker of the House, Dustin Burroughs, who is running for the speaker of the House, Cody Harris, and maybe others that are all shareholders and employees of this little bank called Third Coast Bank. And Third Coast Bank's largest shareholder is BlackRock. Their second largest shareholder is Vanguard. And so you're starting to see why there's so much power in what should be an administrative managerial position as speaker of the House that just kind of helps the people and the members of the House to do their work. But it's all connected back to these people that are on the board of Third coast bank, employees in Third Coast Bank. And I don't know exactly what the financial implications of all that are, but it's something that definitely needs to be to be investigated.

Steve Bannon
Brent, how do people go to get more information about this? Our audience is worked up. We spend a lot of time working in Texas and Texas citizens are so great, but they want to know how information and a call to action or where do they go? What do they do? So where do they go?
- [47:51]
Isaac Storr
Absolutely. First they need to go to Texas. SpeakerRace.com that will show them which members are with Dustin Burroughs and this blackrock group and which are with David Cook. Call the David Cook people and tell them thank you. Call the Dustin Burroughs people and ask them what are they doing? Why aren't they with the Republicans? And then they can follow me on xrentmoney.com orntmoney they can follow. There's a lot of reps. I retweet a lot of them. Like I said, Mitch Little, who was Ken Paxton's attorney during the sham impeachment, is a great follow and he has laid it out pretty well also.
- [48:34]
Steve Bannon
Okay, brother, appreciate you. We'll get everybody over there. Mitch Little is a good man. He spent a lot of time with Mitch, went down and actually did a campaign event for Mitchell. I will be maybe mo. You can get it later in the next hour. I'll be in Denton, Texas for the, what is it, the Reagan day, The Lincoln Reagan dinner that's going to be there on Saturday. I think it's the 27th. It's the Saturday right after the inauguration. I'm going to go down with Glenn Story and the team. Love going down to Texas, love being part of this dinner, going to give some remarks and we'll meet everybody, take some selfies, shake some hands, get to know you couldn't be prouder to kick off post inauguration down in the great state of Texas. Mitchell and these guys are good. It's tough to figure out. I mean the business interests down there are out of control now. They're going to go cut deals. The Larry Fink guys are going to cut deals with the Democrats on a state that Trump won by 14% that we overwhelmingly won in defense of Attorney General Paxton Lindell, you're a bit, you're a big, you're a Minnesota boy, but you're a big Texas fan, are you not, sir?
