Battle playing out between President Durham and the judicial system. The White House is arguing it did not violate a federal judge's order when it deported hundreds of suspected gang members on flights to El Salvador over the weekend. That judge, by the way, had temporarily blocked Trump's ability to invoke the rarely used Alien enemies Act of 1798 to speed up deportations and ordered any flights to turn around. President Trump on Air Force One last night seemed unclear himself about whether he had violated the order.
Political Analyst
I don't know.
Commentator
You have to speak to the lawyers.
Legal Expert
Are you planning to do more deportation?
Commentator
I can tell you this. These were bad people. That was a bad group of, as I say, Congress.

The latest NBC News national poll finds that a majority of registered voters, 55%, have a negative view of the party, while 27%, just over a quarter of registered voters, have a positive view of the party. That's the party's lowest rating in NBC News polling, dating back to 1990. Meanwhile, though, a new CNN SSRS poll finds the Democratic Party's favorability rating at just 29%, a record low going back to 1992 and a drop of 20 points since January of 2021. What's more, just 63% of Democrats and Democratic leaning independents have a favorable view of their own party, down nine January and 18 points from the start of the Biden administration. The Republican Party's favorability rating stands at 36%. The Trump administration is denying that it violated a judge's order to stop the deportation of hundreds of migrants over the weekend. President Trump on Friday signed an executive order invoking the Alien enemies Act of 1798, which allows the government to deport certain nationals in times of war without trial. The administration used the act to deport nearly 300 people that it alleges are members of a Venezuelan gang flying them to El Salvador. On Saturday, before the flights, advocacy groups filed a lawsuit against the administration on behalf of five men who were targeted in the deportation. Late Saturday, a federal judge blocked the president's use of the Alien Enemies act, ordering any planes with people being deported on the president's executive order to be returned to the United States, even if it meant turning the planes around. The big issue here is the timing of the flights. Administration officials have not said when the deportation flights landed in El Salvador, but the White House press secretary claimed yesterday that the migrants had already been removed from U.S. territory at the time of the judge's order. As the New York Times points out, the judges the judge issued the order shortly before 7pm in Washington but video posted on social media by the president of El Salvador shows the deportees disembarking the plane at night. And El Salvador is two hours behind Washington in terms of time zones, trying.

Political Analyst
Still entitled to free speech and due process, no matter how unsympathetic or unsavory your views might be.
Legal Expert
Talk to us a little bit about the slippery slope we may be on here. Well, that's why President Trump is invoking the Alien enemies Act of 1798, which gives the president extraordinary power to do this without going through the immigration courts, without having real due process. The problem is the act says that the president can only do it when the United States is at war with another country or if the foreign country has invaded or threatened to invade the.
Commentator
US that hasn't happened here.
Legal Expert
And that's why I think the courts are ultimately going to rule against the president. But the question is, then, if the president ignores the courts, then how does the court enforce its actions? Because they're under the marshal's office. They have the marshal's office to enforce its rulings, and the marshal's office is.
Commentator
Under the executive branch.
Legal Expert
So we could be headed for a constitutional crisis.
News Anchor
This is a completely different subject. And another potential clash with the Constitution. The pardons that sleepy, as he put it, sleepy Joe Biden gave to the unselect committee of political thugs and many others are hereby declared void, vacant, and of no further force or effect. They are subjected to investigation at the highest level. Can he do this? Can he say the pardons avoid.
Legal Expert
No, no, legally.
News Anchor
And we're done here.
Political Analyst
Dead on arrival.
Legal Expert
This is a ridiculous sideshow. Yeah, right.
Political Analyst
There you go.
Legal Expert
Look there have the key question with the pardon power is what was the president's intent? We've had auto pen for decades. No presidential action has ever been invalidated or undone because it was signed by auto pen. And while the pardon power itself is extremely broad, there is no such thing as an unpardon power. This thing feels to me just like a rabbit hole.
Political Analyst
I wouldn't even pay it that much mind.
Legal Expert
There's no way this is going to actually happen. Yes, Steve Bannon says that the Strategy is to flood the zone.
News Anchor
And they are flooding.
Legal Expert
Flooded the zone. They flooded their own zone, too. They don't have some storehouse of attention and capability. The rest of us don't. They don't know what they're doing. They're breaking things. They don't know what they're breaking. All those poll numbers are horrible for the Democratic Party. And I agree with them because I'm not exactly sure who would say they have a favor favor of Democrats right now, but Trump has gone negative faster than any president in history except for Trump. It took Joe Biden 221 days to see his favorability numbers go negative. It took Trump about a month. So I don't think this is working for them either. The question is, can Democrats create any kind of opposition or alternative that matters? That's one. But that's really going to matter when you get near to an election. And in the meantime, the thing that Democrats want from their party is some way of making it stop. They don't want a message. They don't even just want a fact check. But I agree with Chris. It'd be good if facts were more relevant right now. What they want is for Democrats to make it stop. And that's where the anger of the shutdown comes. Comes in. Yeah, that was the one piece of leverage Democrats had. Should they have shut down? Actually, I think it's actually a pretty hard question. But the reason there was such fury among the base is Democrats have no way to get themselves in front of this. They had one way to do something that would have changed politics, at least for now, and they decided not to do it. And the base thinks, okay, then what are you for?
Commentator
This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. I got a free shot. All these networks lying about the people, the people have had a belly full of it. 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. It's going to happen.
Legal Expert
And where do people like that go.

MAGA MEDIA I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
Commentator
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. War ROOM here's your host, Stephen K. Banner. Foreign It's Monday the 17th of March, year overlord 2025, St. Patty's Day. So I will start with another hammerheaded Mick, here in a moment, the President Trump getting it on on every different aspect that we talked about from the beginning, the three big lines of work of his administration. Number one, to end the, the kinetic part of the Third World War. He's having a conversation with Putin tomorrow, of course, over the weekend, airstrikes, I think, from the Truman battle group, carrier battle group to the Houthis. My question still remains. Where's, where the, where's the World Navy? Where's the French Navy? Where's the Italian Navy? Where are the big talking, they all talk big about Ukraine, which is a theoretical exercise. An actual exercise is down the Red Sea to keep the Suez Canal open, to therefore supply, you know, cargo and commerce from Asia and the Middle east into Europe. The NATO countries have basically, you know, given that over to the Americans. We have, I think, two carrier battle groups down there and one led strikes on the Houthis, which I don't fully understand. We'll talk about it a little later in the show. All out war. And the other line of work of deportations. President Trump finally had enough of it. Aliens enemies act of 1798. President John Adams this is about the French, this kind of fallout from the French Revolution of cracking down here, didn't want us to get sucked into European wars. Does that sound familiar? And they passed this act. President Trump used it. It was the same act to do the, to deter or do the interments, I guess, of the Japanese after Pearl harbor. Always very controversial, although there was a lot they don't talk about today. There was many, many, many voices saying that that should have happened after Pearl harbor, given the fact that we didn't know what the hell was going on. Mike Davis, the thing I want to focus on this morning with you is what we try, we've been trying to frame this and let people understand that there is a full, ongoing outright war on this, taking down the administrative state and confronting the deep state with the legal profession, because that's what the radical Democrats control. They control the big law firms, they control a lot of the courts. Of these neo Marxist judges, they've controlled the Justice Department. President Trump on Friday went to the Justice Department and all weekend all they were saying is that he desecrated, he desecrated the Justice Department. President Trump, oh, by the way, is going over to the Kennedy center this afternoon. His schedule is he's going to the Kennedy center to basically chair the first board meeting since he's reconstituted the board. So the two, the two temples, they have the Kennedy center, which is high church for them and the Justice Department. President Trump is desecrating with a 72 hour. God, I love this. You vote for the man, you even want more. But Mike, this legal. You and I have talked a lot over the weekend. This is reaching critical velocity. The concept for them is to delay is to deny. To delay is to deny. And that's what they're doing. They're trying to shut, they're trying to chop block the revolution of common sense in an all out effort at every different aspect to come after President Trump's administration. Sir, your thoughts on this? St. Patty's Day.
Political Analyst
For four years under President Biden, they treated Trump's supporters who trespassed and took selfies on the Senate floor as public enemy number one, the biggest threat to democracy. And they politicized and weaponized the Biden Justice Department to persecute Trump supporters. And yes, they were persecuted according to the Supreme Court's Fisher decision when they contorted, politicized and weaponized a post Enron obstruction of justice statute intended for corporations to go after political enemies. And that's what the Biden justice department did for four years, is going after Trump supporters because of January 6th. Steve Bannon may have been on the receiving end of that lawfare along with Peter Navarro when they sent both of them to the clink. And so contrast that with President Trump where he's saying, hmm, maybe Trump grandmas are not the biggest threat to America. Maybe these vicious Venezuelan terrorists and Trend Aragua and Ms. 13 gangs are a bigger threat to America. So President Trump campaigned on the facts. He's gonna end the weaponization of the Justice Department against Trump grandmas and parents and Christians and then refocus the federal government on closing our border and getting these violent, vicious, terrorist. President Trump has designated them as foreign terrorist organizations trende Aragua and getting them the hell out of our country. And President Trump won an electoral mandate because the American people liked what they heard, that we're going to stop going after Trump grandmas and we're going to go after trend day Aragua. And so President Trump won a big electoral mandate. He kept the House, he won the Senate. He's doing what he promised American voters he would do. And these activist judges are sabotaging the presidents and they're doing it all over the country with these left wing radicals, but particularly in Washington D.C. and you have this Judge Jeb Boasberg, he's supposed to be the moderate left wing radical right. He's still a left wing radical, but apparently he's only 90% left wing radical instead of 100% left wing radical. And this judge over the weekend issued the most dangerous, the most dangerous temporary restraining order imaginable. You have a judge.
Commentator
Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. We're leave a cliffhanger here. Perfect. Mike Davis says most dangerous ever. One of the most dangerous ever issued. They're challenging the President to go back to the unitary theory of the executive. They're challenging him as chief executive officer of the United States government, as the commander in chief of the military services and as chief magistrate and chief law enforcement officer of the US Government. It's a full on judicial insurrection. And also by the law firms up at the House, also in the Senate, full court press against President Trump and his deconstruction of the administrative state and taking on and destroying the deep state.

The person who that building is named after is Robert F. Kennedy, senior to Be clear.
Legal Expert
And just to give a sense of the type of speech that ordinarily gets given by an AG to prosecutors, I pulled this. I just want to read real quick how RFK ended a speech he gave in 1962 when he was AG. He said to the group, in closing.
Political Analyst
Let me tell you how important I.
Legal Expert
Think your work is to the future of our country. History knows no inevitability except as men surrender to their own fears of the future. I salute you and I wish you well.
Commentator
Let me have it. Let me have it. This is a clown show. Look, I was raised as a Kennedy Democrat, right? Every Catholic was a Kennedy Democrat, or virtually all. Many of the rules are put in. It was. Cause Bobby Kennedy, who I did love before he became a left wing progressive, because remember, he was McCarthy's attack dog. He and Roy Cohn, right on the anti communist, you know, purging them from the US government. Kennedy was such a. His brother's hack and basically point guard that later, I mean, I cannot believe they used that Mike Davis as an example of an evenhanded Attorney General. This is what Trump's looking for. He's looking for. He's been looking for a Bobby Kennedy. It's a desecration of the Great hall of justice, folks. This fight is the main event. You saw the polling. Tudor Dixon's gonna be on a second. You saw the polling. They're 26%. They're coming out. They're doing a West, I think it's a Western tour this week. It's Bernie Sanders and aoc. It's the Ant. They're stealing my lines. It's the anti oligarch tour. This is. They're gonna pack these college campuses. The only life they have is Bernie Sanders in aoc. If that's what they got, bring it on an anti oligarch tour. Politically, they're dead. Schumer's canceled. Just announced. Schumer canceled his book tour. Didn't even know he wrote a book. His book tour. Because he can't get anybody even to show up. Mike Davis it is. And you nailed this early on. This is what lawfare rolls into. What they do is they control these law firms, these huge law firms, which is just a kind of a washing machine, you know. Cause guys go into the government, come back out, get the big payday, go back in as factotums. They control these radical judges, both at the state level. This is one of the reasons the Wisconsin fight is so important. At the federal level, they got these hacked neo Marxist judges. Walk me through all of it.
Political Analyst
Why?
Commentator
And you see, why is this injunction, or tro, one of the most dangerous in American history that this hack neo Marxist judge, the moderate issued against President Trump as commander in chief and chief magistrate of the nation.
Political Analyst
Sir, President Trump campaigned on the fact that he's going to designate Trende Aragua as a designated foreign terrorist organization. He's going to round them up and he's gonna get them the hell out of our country. Right? And he's doing that as the commander in chief. This is not only his right to do this, it is his constitutional duty as the commander in chief to repel invasion. Right? And that's what these illegal immigrants are. This is an invasion by Tren de Aragua. This is an invasion by Ms. 13. And President Trump rounded up these terrorists and he put them on planes and he sent them to El Salvador, where our new great ally in El Salvador is gonna put them in a prison for at least a year and maybe longer. And you have these activist judges, like this D.C. obama judge, Jeb Boasberg, who went into his chambers on a Saturday to scramble to try to issue a temporary restraining order, this lawless Trojan, to tell the President of the United States that he can't protect our country from foreign terrorists, he can't repel an invasion. And even most dangerously, this goofball, Jeb Boasberg, this Obama judge, ordered the President of the United States to turn planes around, carrying these terrorists from America to El Salvador. Thank God that didn't happen. Right? The president apparently didn't understand the order or whatever the hell he needs to say to tell this judge, Jeff Boasberg to piss off because he is the President of the United States. I don't say this lightly. You don't ignore judges.
Commentator
Hang on. Yeah, I want to. I want to not nail you, but I want to bring up, you have been very consistent, although the Viceroy, in wanting to salt the earth around these people. You have been very conservative in saying, hey, if they give you an injunction, if they enjoin your efforts, if you get a tro, you have to comply. Because not to do that, you're going to flip the appellate courts, which are already stacked against us, but particularly potentially the Supreme Court with ACB Justice Coney Barrett, Ann Roberts, who will be, you know, taking a temperature here, that you don't want to do it. Why are you flipping in this case and saying, hey, I have no problem with continuing to ship the bad guys back to prisons in El Salvador, sir.
Political Analyst
I'm not flipping in this case. I'm Saying that you almost always fall a judge's order. But when the judge's order is clearly lawless and a grave danger to our national security, you have a duty as the President of the United States, as the Commander in Chief, to ignore a lawless, dangerous order. This Obama judge, Jeb Boasberg, was. First of all, he had a hearing during a national security operation where we're taking the most dangerous terrorist in the Western hemisphere out of America and into El Salvador. The president posted the video of the handoff. This is not something that you want the terrorist to be tipped off to. Right? Because you're gonna put American lives and our allies lives in grave danger if they know this is happening. So this judge never should have held this hearing during the middle of this national security operation, which could have tipped off this operation and killed Americans and killed our allies. And then this judge thinks that he's gonna order airplanes to turn around mid flight over the Gulf of America or wherever the hell these planes were. This judge is out of. And not only should this judge resign for this disgraceful, dangerous order, the House of Representatives should impeach Jeb Boasberg immediately. Because this guy has horrific judgment, he's a radical partisan, and he's let his Trump derangement endanger the lives of Americans and our allies.
Commentator
Let me go on that. You're saying right now on War Room that you believe that Jeb Boasberg. The House Judiciary Committee should meet immediately and begin the whole process of impeachment of a sitting federal judge?
Political Analyst
Sir, there's no question. Look, I was the chief counsel for nominations on the Senate Judiciary Committee. I had the oversight portfolio over the federal judiciary, including not only just getting them confirmed, the nominations portfolio. I had the oversight portfolio. I clerked on the Supreme Court. I clerked for the 10th Circuit. I respect federal judges, no matter if they're appointed by Democrats or Republicans. But what Jeb Boasberg did in this instance is so illegal, it's so reckless, it's so dangerous that you are ordering. First of all, you are sabotaging the President of the United States during a national security operation. You are. You have that. That has the potential of tipping off our enemies and getting Americans and our allies killed. And then during the middle of this operation, you think you have the power to issue a temporary restraining order to tell the President of the United States to turn around planes full of international terrorists. Foreign terrorists. These are designated foreign terrorists. And Jeb Boasberg, this Democrat Obama clown judge in D.C. thinks he's the commander in chief or he can second guess the commander in chief and turnaround planes mid flight. Did he check to see if there's enough fuel on these planes? Does he understand that there's an entire operation on the other end in El Salvador to make sure that there's a secure handoff? Maybe we didn't have that secure handoff in America. And I would say this to Jeb. I don't think that you're a trans black woman, so I don't know if you're qualified to be an air traffic controller. This guy is a clown. He should resign. And if he doesn't resign, the House should impeach him. And I. Look, I don't care if there aren't enough votes in the Senate to remove him. We need to put this guy through the process so these judges understand when you do these reckless, dangerous things, there are consequences.
Commentator
Yeah. Okay. I want to. Also, let's go on record. We know because the Senate House would impeach them, they go to trial in the Senate. It's quite remote that they would be removed from their. From their current positions as federal judges. You agree with me that there'd be at least the ones we're talking about initially, they would not be actually removed?
Political Analyst
Yeah, and I don't care. I want the process to be the punishment. I want this to be.
Commentator
Tell me about the process. Give me a minute on the process.
Political Analyst
Yeah. What would happen is the Senate would almost certainly set up a special committee to hold the trial for Boosberg, and he would be sitting in front of the Senate trial. Instead of pretending like he's the commander in chief on a Saturday, he's moonlighting as the commander in chief on the Saturday and turning planes to turn around during a national security operation and potentially tipping off our enemies, getting Americans and our allies killed.
Commentator
Okay, hang on a second, Mike. I know you jammed, but I want to hold you through the break. We also have Tudor Dixon coming up. Talk about the political situation of the Democratic Party overall. Also, what's going on in Michigan. I'm of the belief, first off, on the mass deportations, the alien. The Alien Enemies Act, I think, incorporates both these criminal gangs that came up. I think it's also used as the umbrella to the removal of all 10 million that were brought here under Biden regime because they're invaders, illegal invaders. Also, I think there ought to be a much broader swath of impeachments. We have to fight fire with fire. Remember, to delay is to deny. And they're very sophisticated about what they're doing from San Francisco to Maryland, their jurisdiction. Judge shopping. They're coming in. If you look at these, if you look at the transcripts from the judges, they want to slow this process down. They want to slowed the Trump administrations. Flood the zone. Short break.

They were all during times of war. Do you feel that you're using it appropriately right now?
Commentator
Well, this is a time of war because Biden allowed millions of people, many of them criminals, many of them at the highest level. They empty jails out. Other nations emptied their jails into the United States.
Political Analyst
That's an invasion.
Commentator
And these are criminals.
Legal Expert
Many, many criminals.
Commentator
Murderers, drug dealers at the highest level, drug lords, people from mental institutions. That's an invasion. They invaded our country. So this isn't in that sense. This is war. I want to quote that because the sound was. It was on Air Force One. This is from the president United States. This is a time of war because Biden allowed millions of people, many of them criminals. That's an invasion. That's my point about it can be. It cover all of them. It cover these gangs. Mike Davis, I want to be very specific. You got something? Article three. Right now we have to go on more offense on this legal Number one, you can tell we're very stretched at Main Justice. We are even more stretched at Southern District D.C. ed Martin's doing a great job. These guys are trying to do a great job. We don't have people. They should be purging these rats nests right now. Any U.S. attorney that work for Biden and even guys down lower have got to be walked out of the building today. We're at war with this, with these radical Marxists that infested the Justice Department. There's still way too many embeds over there. We ought to have another purge this week. Let's get them out. And you can tell the Trump administration's, you know, restricted by manpower because in San Francisco, we got, like, the chief of staff is arguing the case. We don't even have enough attorneys. And as you know, Mike, because. And this is why we have to have a blunt discussion with the war and posse in Article 3. They're laughing at us right now. These radical judges, Whether it's in D.C. or other places, they're all raising their hand like third graders. Let me have the next one. Let me have the next one. I don't know. Do we have 32 of these out right now? TROs, injunctions against Trump, and each of them, one of these. They judge shop in Rhode island to put a nationwide mandate blocking everything. To delay is to deny. And all they're trying to do is chop block us till we get to the midterm elections next year. And hopefully they put in $9 billion on their thing and get Hakeem Jeffries be Speaker of the House. We have to go on offense, and we have to go on offense today, sir.
Political Analyst
They did the same thing in President Trump's first term when these judges sabotaged the president when he was trying to secure our border. And they're doing it again. This time, President ran on the facts. He's gonna end the lawfare. He's gonna cut waste, fraud, and abuse, and he's gonna close our border and get these illegal immigrants, including foreign terrorists, the hell out of America, right? And he's doing the unthinkable. He's actually doing what he told American people he would do. And President Trump has the House. He won the Senate with a comfortable margin, and the only place these Democrats this resistance can go to now are these activists, judges. And they've been doing this all over the country. Like you said, Steve, these are the judicial saboteurs. They are sabotaging the president's Article 2 executive power. Trump's not stealing Congressional. He's not stealing legislative power under Article 1 from Congress. President Trump is not stealing judicial power under Article 3 from the Supreme Court. He is exercising core Article 2 power, including protecting our nation from foreign invasion, repelling an attack. We have Trende Aragua, foreign terrorist, robbing, raping, murdering, kidnapping all across America. President Trump is rounding them up. He designated them as foreign terrorists. He's rounding them up. He's getting them the hell out of our country. And there are two cases that are the most egregious. You have this Judge Ali in dc, this Canadian citizen who brags that he's the first Arab and first Muslim on the D.C. federal bench, who said that the President of the United States has to send out $2 billion in foreign aid over his paws so the President can make sure we're not funding Hamas terrorism, for example, or not funding waste, fraud and abuse, for example. And this Judge Ali ordered the president to issue $2 billion in foreign aid over his objection through a temporary restraining order. That is clearly lawless. This got to the Supreme Court and the Chief Justice, John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett sided with the three liberals on a procedural technicality. And they were weak. They backed down. And now they've emboldened these activist judges all over the country. And it's gotten so bad.
Commentator
100%. 100%.
Political Analyst
It's gotten so bad that on Saturday, this Bozberg, this Bozo the clown Bozberg in D.C. told the president he has to turn around planes. This is to the Chief Justice, John Roberts. You need to get your judicial house in order and do it now.
Commentator
Got to do it now. I'm a. Hang on for a second. The probationary guys, they've stopped Trump. If you look at the unitary theory of the executive, they stopped. They stopped him on downsizing the government. The probationary guys were held up on that. They reversed that. They've stopped any of the money flow. So anything. Doge is finding Kerry Lake. We're going to have Kerry Lake on in the 11 o'clock hour. She went in on Saturday and completely took out, you know, all the traitors, the agents of influence. She shut all this down over at Voice of America and the global platform, you know, Radio Europe, all of it just took. Take it down to the deck plates. They're going to be all over in her court today. President Trump's going the Kennedy center today, Chair of the board. You wait till the lawsuits start coming there. They think it's open season because nobody's standing up to it. We're gonna Have Tudor Dixon on here tomorrow. They don't have a political answer because the country doesn't trust them. This is weapon. You talk about weaponization. This is big time weaponization. Before I don't want the president sings a little too garbled because Air Force One. Talk to me about the pardons. President Trump is, he's dropping neutron bombs right now on the pardons. He said, hey, you did it by auto pen. You're in the Bahamas. Therefore, I looked at the law. It doesn't matter. None of the pardons for all the pardons for J6 and for Fauci, those last day pardons are null and void, are they not according to the President of the United States, the chief magistrate and chief law enforcement officer of these United States, Mike Davis.
Political Analyst
Well, it's a little bit more complicated than that, but let's just put it this way. They use the auto pen on the pardons, right? That does not necessarily make the pardons void. What would make the pardons void is if they use the auto pen on the pardon and President Biden didn't know they did it or it's against President Biden's will. So if he didn't know he's pardoning someone or he said not to pardon someone and they pardoned them anyway, those are clearly void. Look, politicians use auto pens all the time. President Trump has used them. Every prior president has used them. The issue is, are they using the auto pen without the President's approval, without his knowledge, against his will? And it sounds like in this instance of President Biden was asked about these pardons and he has no clue that these pardons happened. It sounds like it wasn't with his knowledge and with his consent. And so therefore there is a strong case that these are not valid pardons.
Commentator
Okay. The war in posse is we were going to start tomorrow. Preston is going to be on the show. We're going to kick off everything in Wisconsin tomorrow. But they're fired up right now. They want to go the ramparts right now. Mike Davis, on this entire situation because we have to fight back. Also, one thing before we go to the impeachments and getting people over to Article 3, there was a problem, you know, certain elements, the government, Jefferson, these guys had a problem with how the courts were first stood up and some of the judges, correct me if I'm wrong, and they passed. It was in 1801, 1802, the kind of restructuring or really the initial Judicial act cannot. We can't we pass something through the House now and go all in and just restructure this whole thing and start blowing these guys out in a mass purge. Can we do that? To be super aggressive, Mike Davis?
Political Analyst
Well, I'm glad you bring that up, Steve Bannon, because I'm actually working on that right now with the key Senate staffers and other people.
Commentator
Hold it. Stop, stop, stop. I was just doing my research over the weekend. Are you kidding me? You're actually. I haven't talked to Davis about this yet. I was throwing one out there. Talk to people about what happened back in, back at the foundation of the country, and about this act, why it's so important and why I'm saying, baby, let's do it again.
Political Analyst
So the judicial power under Article 3 is with the Supreme Court of the United States. And so that is created by Constitution, but inferior courts are created by Congress. And Congress can create courts, Congress can change courts, Congress can eliminate courts. And they've done that many times over the past. I would say this, that to these D.C. district Court judges, I don't think you understand and appreciate how much momentum is growing right now to bring major reforms to the D.C. district Court, because let's look at it this way. The D.C. superior Court, is that constitutional? I'm not sure that's not an Article 3 court that handles essentially, street crimes and civil disputes among the citizens of D.C. and there are like 10 vacancies on the D.C. superior Court right now. Maybe we can fix this problem by not filling those vacancies on the D.C. superior Court. Having the D.C. district Court with people like Boasberg and Judge Ali and all these other radical judges. Maybe we can change their jurisdiction to the D.C. superior Court's jurisdiction. We'll have Boasberg and Ali doing D.C. street crimes and doing civil disputes between, you know, people in D.C. who are fighting over whatever the hell they're fighting over. And then we can bring in judges from around the country to handle the other cases.
Commentator
So we have three lines of attack, right? We have three lines of attack. One is the continual, absolute evisceration of these radical law firms, Right? By taking their security clearances away, cutting out their business with the U.S. government. And that's the way you kind of break the foundational element. In addition, you're saying there may be a legislative part also to kind of do a restructuring like they did at the beginning of the country. Right. And do it today, where you actually get, you know, restrict what these guys feel to play is. And number three is we use good old impeachment to put people through the process. I Don't want people to say, well, you'll never get it passed. Waste of time. It's not a waste of time. The process, trust the process. And we can start impeaching these judges, can we not, sir?
Political Analyst
We should definitely start with impeaching Boasberg, who illegally and very dangerously sabotaged a national security operation of the president of the United States with a for another foreign leader and put Americans and our allies in grave danger. So the Article 3 project is calling for Boasberg's impeachment right now. It's on our website, article3project.org wow. Go there right now. There's clown Boasberg, this Obama judge who thinks he's the commander in chief when he moonlights on Saturday. Let's light up both of your senators and your rep and call for his impeachment and removal.
Commentator
Warren Posse, we then that action, action, action today. To the ramparts. Go to Article 3. We've got to fight fire with fire here. If we are passive in this, they're going to get more aggressive. And their strategy is ours. Flood the zone. Theirs is to delay is to deny. And what they're trying to do is stop the revolution of common sense that President Trump is hitting on on all cylinders. And we've warned people and now it's the aggression is and they feel like they're winning in this area. They're not winning in any other area. That's why, Mike, as you know, behind the scenes, they're actually clamoring for who's going to take on the next one because we have not punched back yet. Mike Davis, one more time, social media, where they go, what do they do with your request for impeachment?
Political Analyst
I would say again to the chief justice, John Roberts, you have allowed the judiciary to get out of control. You need to get the judicial house in order immediately. There is going to be a tremendous political backlash. It's gonna go after the judiciary's power and money. And good luck to Boasburg, enforcing your lawless orders with your law clerks because I don't think the executive branch will enforce lawless orders. Go to article3project.org, article number three project. You can take action there. You can follow us on social media. You can donate the action item today, impeach and remove this radical Obama Judge Boasberg, who put American lives and our allies, lives in grave danger on Saturday.

Finds that a majority of registered voters, 55%, have a negative view of the party, while 27%, just over a quarter of registered voters, have a positive view of the party. That's the party's lowest rating in NBC News polling dating back to 1990. Meanwhile, though, a new CNN SSRA poll finds the Democratic Party's favorability rating at just 29%, a record low going back to 1992 and a drop of 20 points since January of 2021. What's more, just 63% of Democrats and Democratic leaning independents have a favorable view of their own party, down 9 points from January and 18 points points from the start of the Biden administration. The Republican Party's favorability rating stands at 36%.
Legal Expert
Full of despair, says Politico. Democrats are why, why, why are Democrats full of despair? All I have to say Democrats, call your office. You know where March Madness Times. Terrible, terrible, terrible. To quote the great Charles Barclay, view Democratic party favorably. CNN SRS look at this 29% NBC News. You want to go lower than that? How about 27%? Both are record lows. The lowest going back to 1992 in CNN polling, the lowest going back on Record to 1990 and NBC News polling. The majority of Americans hold an unfavorable or negative view of the Democratic Party. At this point, all I can say is I'm a big fan of the oldies. So I'm going to quote Chubby Checker. How low can you go?
Commentator
Nice. Well done with that.
Legal Expert
What about congressional Democrats specifically? Yeah, what about congressional Democrats specifically? You think these numbers are low? How about this one? Holy Toledo. Voters views of the Democrats in Congress among all voters disapprove 68%. And look at the approved number, just 21%. Even lower than the Democratic Party at large. This is the lowest on Republic record for Democrats according to Quinnipiac University polling. You think these numbers are bad? Let's go to this side of the screen. We'll look how Democratic voters feel. Get this. The plurality of Democratic voters disapprove of Democrats in Congress at 49% and just 40% approve. Horrible, horrible, horrible. Oh my goodness gracious. You just can't get worse than these numbers. And this is the number right here really driving all of this. As Democrats have turned. If Democratic voters have turned on Democrats in Congress and the Democratic Party, that's.
Commentator
What puts the numbers at historic lows.
Legal Expert
What is it they want to be seeing? What is going on? I'll tell you what's going on. They don't like what's coming out of some of those Senate Democrats like Chuck Schumer because take a look at the direction of the party. Democratic voters on Democrats in Congress doing too little to oppose Donald Trump. Look at this. 77% should stay principled even if it means nothing gets done in Washington. Washington D.C. 65%. And this 65% is such a difference from where we were in 2017 at this point when just 33% of Democrats say they should say principle compared to 59% who said they want to compromise. Democrats do not want compromise at this point. They want to fight it. They want to go into the ring like Muhammad Ali did against Sonny Liston. They want to take down the Republicans. They do not want this compromise anymore. They want to be more like Republicans, get up to that stage and fight. And right now they feel like their leaders in Congress are simply put, not doing so. And that is why their approval rating for congressional Democrats is at an all time low, even among Democrats with more disapproving than Approving. Yeah, it seems that these Senate Democrats, some of them are banking on the.
Commentator
Idea that there is still a political middle, as it were.
Legal Expert
We will see. We will see. We will see if there's a political middle. But at this point, count me skeptical that that is at least what the Democratic base wants at this point. It's going be very interesting, John, to see moving forward whether or not there are any repercussions come 2026, because I bet there may be some coming.
Commentator
Two of my favorite people are going to be back to back here. Tudor Dixon up in Michigan and Carrie Lake. Kerry Lake's caused a firestorm in Washington, D.C. we're going to get to all that momentarily. The Mack Daddy on drudge yesterday was AOC's beautiful visage smiling back at you right there. And they said the new head of the party. So the Dem and she's on a tour with Bernie Sanders, I guess, anti oligarch trying to steal. They created the oligarchs. Now they want to come out and run against them. That's the only thing they've got going. And that's not much. Tudor Dixon, we only got a couple minutes here. I want you to go through your assessment of these polls about the Democratic Party, ma'am.
News Anchor
Well, first of all, I want to say it is enjoyable to watch CNN have to announce that they helped to destroy the Democrat Party because essentially that's what been doing. I mean, you look at their faces and you can tell they're worried, is my next paycheck coming or is it not going to come because I did this? I've destroyed not only our party, but.
Commentator
You mean the comms department of the Democratic Party, right? It's not. That's why they got rid of half those guys, right?
News Anchor
Yeah, yeah. They failed their own people. But I mean, think about what it means to have AOC as the leader of that party and Bernie Sanders out there. Remember, this is the Bernie Sanders who was winning for their nomination a few years back. And they said, no, no, Bernie, you step back. We know who needs to be the guy that leads this party. And they screwed it up and they screwed it up and they screwed it up. And now they have no idea what their identity is because the radicals have taken over. And the moderate Democrats do not like the radicals and the radicals don't like anybody else. There's no wiggle room. You talk about wanting a fighter. They look at Donald Trump and they're jealous of him. They look at him and they're like, man, that guy is amazing. Nothing bothers him. He's willing to go out there and keep fighting. He stands up after he gets shot in the head. The guy is amazing, right? They love him, but they love to hate him because they don't have him and they don't have anybody like him. And if they think AOC even so much as compares to Donald Trump, they are in a world of hurt for a very long time. And I love look forward to watching.
Commentator

Bannon’s War Room - Episode 4342 Summary: "Dems Favorability Plummet; Cleansing The Leftist Activist Court"
Release Date: March 17, 2025
In Episode 4342 of Bannon’s War Room, host Stephen K. Bannon addresses the dramatic decline in Democratic Party favorability and the ongoing battle against what he terms the "Leftist Activist Court." The episode delves into key political tensions, judicial conflicts, and the administration's strategies to combat perceived deep-state opposition.
The episode opens with alarming statistics from recent polls highlighting a severe drop in the Democratic Party's popularity:
NBC News National Poll: Shows a 55% negative view of the Democratic Party versus 27% positive, marking the lowest rating since 1990.
News Anchor [00:46]: "That's the party's lowest rating in NBC News polling, dating back to 1990."
CNN SSRS Poll: Reports a 29% favorability, the lowest since 1992, with a 20-point drop since January 2021.
News Anchor [00:46]: "What's the party's lowest rating in NBC News polling, dating back to 1990... CNN SSRS poll finds the Democratic Party's favorability rating at just 29%, a record low going back to 1992."
Democratic Self-Perception: Only 63% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents view their party favorably, down from 81% at the start of the Biden administration.
News Anchor [00:46]: "Just 63% of Democrats and Democratic leaning independents have a favorable view of their own party, down nine January and 18 points from the start of the Biden administration."
These figures underscore a significant erosion of support, which Bannon and his panel interpret as a reflection of internal party struggles and ineffective leadership.
A central focus of the episode is the confrontation between President Trump and the federal judiciary over immigration policies:
Alien Enemies Act of 1798: Trump invoked this rarely used statute to deport nearly 300 individuals suspected of gang affiliation to El Salvador.
News Anchor [00:00]: "President Trump on Air Force One last night seemed unclear himself about whether he had violated the order."
Judicial Pushback: A federal judge issued a temporary restraining order (TRO) to halt the deportations, citing the lack of a declared state of war, which the act requires.
Legal Expert [03:54]: "President Trump is invoking the Alien enemies Act of 1798, which gives the president extraordinary power to do this without going through the immigration courts, without having real due process."
Timing Controversy: Evidence suggested that deportation flights proceeded despite the judge’s order, raising questions about compliance and executive overreach.
News Anchor [02:00]: "Video posted on social media by the president of El Salvador shows the deportees disembarking the plane at night."
Potential Constitutional Crisis: Experts on the panel express concerns that if the president disregards judicial orders, it could lead to a constitutional showdown.
Legal Expert [04:16]: "We could be headed for a constitutional crisis."
The episode features in-depth discussions with political analysts and legal experts regarding the implications of the judicial actions against the Trump administration:
Impeachment of Judge Boasberg: The panel argues that Judge Jeb Boasberg's TRO is unprecedented and dangerous, warranting impeachment.
Political Analyst [19:19]: "We need to put this guy through the process so these judges understand when you do these reckless, dangerous things, there are consequences."
Judicial Sabotage: The panel characterizes certain federal judges as neo-Marxist radicals undermining presidential authority.
Political Analyst [32:28]: "These are the judicial saboteurs. They are sabotaging the president's Article 2 executive power."
Call to Action: Listeners are urged to support impeachment efforts and participate in the Article3Project.org, aimed at reforming the judiciary.
Political Analyst [41:13]: "Go to article3project.org... Call for his impeachment and removal."
Stephen Bannon outlines the administration's three-pronged approach to dismantling the entrenched administrative and judicial opposition:
Evisceration of Radical Law Firms: Cutting off security clearances and government business to weaken influential legal entities.
Legislative Restructuring: Proposing changes to the structure and jurisdiction of courts to neutralize radical judges.
Impeachment Processes: Utilizing impeachment as a tool against judges like Boasberg who issue controversial rulings.
Political Analyst [40:29]: "We have to go on offense, and we have to go on offense today, sir."
The panel discusses the internal divisions within the Democratic Party, attributing the decline in popularity to mismanagement and extremist elements:
Leadership Failures: Criticism of Democratic leaders like Chuck Schumer for failing to effectively oppose Trump and alienating moderate voters.
Political Analyst [49:25]: "You talk about wanting a fighter... They do not want compromise at this point."
Radical Takeover: Assertion that neo-Marxist elements have taken over, leaving no room for moderate voices and eroding party cohesion.
News Anchor [50:35]: "The radicals have taken over. And the moderate Democrats do not like the radicals and the radicals don't like anybody else."
Future Elections: Concerns that without strategic reforms, the Democratic Party will continue to lose ground in upcoming elections.
Political Analyst [32:28]: "They’re going to stop the revolution of common sense that President Trump is hitting on on all cylinders."
Throughout the episode, several advertisements are aired promoting various products and services, including:
Birch Gold Investing: Offering diversification into physical gold.
Advertisement [03:29-05:30]: "Get your free info kit on gold by texting the word Bannon B A N N o N to 989-898."
Tax Network USA: Assisting with tax debt resolution.
Advertisement [07:20-09:30]: "Tax Network USA can help you, too, but you need to move."
Sacred Human Health & War Room Health: Promoting health supplements and heart health products.
Advertisement [54:38-55:13]: "Visit warroomhealth.com... use the code war room at checkout to save 67%."
These segments are interspersed between discussions, providing financial and health-related solutions to listeners.
In the concluding segments, Bannon emphasizes the urgency of combating Democratic strategies and preparing for future political battles:
Call to Defense: Encouraging listeners to join the "posse" in defending against what they perceive as Democratic overreach.
Commentator [43:29]: "We have to fight back. Also, one thing before we go to the impeachments and getting people over to Article 3."
Upcoming Guests: Announcements of future guests like Tudor Dixon and Kerry Lake, who will continue to dissect Democratic strategies and judicial activism.
Commentator [50:08]: "Tudor Dixon is with us. Carrie Lake is going to join us."
Final Encouragement: A strong push for listeners to take action through the Article3Project and support judicial reforms.
Political Analyst [43:27]: "Go to article3project.org... You can follow us on social media. You can donate the action item today."
Conclusion
Episode 4342 of Bannon’s War Room presents a critical analysis of the Democratic Party's plummeting favorability ratings and the administration's confrontation with the judicial system. Through detailed discussions and expert opinions, the episode underscores a perceived existential battle against liberal judicial activism and internal party weaknesses, urging listeners to engage in active political resistance and support judicial reforms.
