Steve Bannon
Weekend and we'll talk. So tell Steve we said we'll see on Monday.
Natalie Winters
Thank you, Eric. Thank you so much for having me and Warren Posse. It's Natalie Winters filling in today for Stephen K. Bannon. Friday, April 25th in the year of our Lord 2025. We've got a packed show, All Things Act Blue, illegal alien invasions. And I want you guys just, I know we don't take any days off in the war room, but just to remember that this is the weekend that, that I guess should have been for the White House Correspondents Association. If you want to get a good laugh, read the apoplexy that is plaguing. I guess my colleagues here in D.C. about how the parties just aren't that great anymore because they don't have any money. Because you guys wised up, you realize that we don't have to watch their propaganda, their bs. And before we play the cold, if you guys just want to toss up real quick just a glorious quote from Politico where people are saying that the White House correspondents dinner this weekend, they're going to be hugging each other just a little bit longer to try to prevail over, you know, dictator Trump. Absolutely wild stuff. Denver. Let's roll the cold. Where the is the accountability? When a judge orders someone to be brought back from El Salvador, why is.
Steve Bannon
No one enforcing it? Where is rule of law?
Mike Davis
They have no problem deporting terrified families.
Natalie Winters
But when a judge tells them to undo the damage, they just don't do it.
Mike Howell
This isn't about law and order.
Natalie Winters
It's about control, about who deserves protection.
Mike Davis
And who this system disposable.
Natalie Winters
If we ignore this, if they can ignore court orders for immigrants, what else.
Josh Phillip
Can they ignore next?
Natalie Winters
Justice without enforcement is a lie. We either fight back now or get used to living in a system that chooses cruelty.
Jake Sullivan
This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. Reasons I got a free shot on 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.
Natalie Winters
And where do people like that go to share the big lie? MAGA MEDIA I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
Jake Sullivan
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
Steve Bannon
WAR ROOM here's your Host Steph Kate.
Natalie Winters
Man, you're back in the war room. It's Friday, April 25th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Natalie Winters filling in for Stephen K. Bannon. We're going to be joined shortly by Mike Davis, who is hot off, fresh off some White House meetings, some DOJ meetings and some FTC meetings, but got to address that cold open. It's not that often that we play leftist meltdowns, but they are in complete and utter devastation over what's been transpiring, particularly today if we want to toss the tweet up where apparently President Trump has crossed the Rubicon by check this, actually deciding to prosecute criminals in the form of judges who have essentially been harboring illegal aliens. And I'm not just talking about what was happening in Wisconsin, but also out in New Mexico though, just to get my facts in that case, that judge was actually allegedly housing a member of Trende Aragua. Try to square that somehow. And the weird people that the modern day Democratic Party chooses to idolize and mythologize and in this case provide shelter to as how many veterans and actual American citizens are left standed stranded on the street, though I guess that's only par for the course when it comes to the immigration policy beloved by our fellow Democrats. We are joined. Mike, I know you got a heart out. We'll bring you in, but don't worry, we're getting into all the affblue stuff after this. But Mike, you had a bunch of meetings yesterday. I wanted you to just deliver what you discerned, what you picked up on. I know you were at White House, DOJ and the ftc. Let's start in that order. Who are you talking to? If you can share it with the posse and just give us sort of a broad overview.
Mike Davis
Well, I got to meet with Russ Voats and Dan Bishop and Mark Pioletta at the Office of Management and Budget, which is a crucial office that decides the regulations in the executive branch, the budget authority, rescissions. It was a good meeting with my friends there. I've met with Harmeet Dillon today. I met with Pam Bondi. I met with Todd Blanche, Chad Meisel, Stanley Woodward, Dale Slater. I met with, I talked with Cash Patel on the phone. I've been in communication with Dan Bongino. I met with Andrew Ferguson, the chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, along with his team. I met with Mark Medder, the new Trump commissioner on the Federal Trade Commission. These are all my friends and I went and checked in on them and they are doing A phenomenal job for President Trump. They are carrying out his policy agenda. And again, I say this to the war room posse. Just because, just because you're not seeing something in the news does not mean that it's not happening. There is a lot going on. There's a lot more that's coming. And I can assure you, as someone who has no problem voicing my criticisms of our allies in the conservative movements, that we're firing on all cylinders in the Trump administration.
Natalie Winters
And just walk us through, Are you talking about a timeline of when you think things that are probably more in the war room posse, ideal, idealized version of retribution, Right. Where we find accountability in prison sentences and not just strongly worded letters. Is this something that you're just saying there's going to be more time where it needs to play out, or is this stuff already going on behind the scenes? Just help put our audience in the room.
Mike Davis
I have to be careful what I say here because I don't want to get into too much specifics. But I would, I would say this, that we faced unprecedented republic ending lawfare for the last four years, really eight years, going back to Crossfire Hurricane against President Trump, his top aides like Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro who went to prison, Trump supporters on January 6, who were persecuted. Justice is definitely coming, right? And so I would say to those who were involved in this criminal conspiracy against rights under 18 USC section 241, lawyer up, because nobody's above the law. And I've been talking about this on this show and every other show for several years now, at least three years. And I have made very clear that I'm gonna make it my mission to make sure that justice is coming. And I'm doing that right now.
Natalie Winters
And walk us through right now it's all breaking on Twitter. But a lot of these judges, I can't even believe I'm saying this though. Actually, I guess I can. Cause they're Democrats or activists judges, non activists. But they were caught harboring in some cases allegedly illegal aliens. You had the other judge, what was it in Milwaukee when they heard that ICE agents showed up hiding them in her judges quarters, having them leave through a backdoor exit. And now I guess it's the new Maryland man hoax. But I mean the left is truly breaking down, acting like this is, I believe, as some MSNBC contributors said, that we've crossed the Rubicon on this front. Can you walk us through the absurdity of today's latest immigration hoax?
Mike Davis
It is a federal crime to be an illegal Alien in the United States. Right. Every single one of these illegal aliens, they're committing a federal crime. And those who harbor those illegal aliens are also committing a federal crime. And those who obstruct immigration law enforcement to get those illegal aliens and arrest them and detain them and get them out of our country, those who obstruct that are committing a federal crime. And it does not matter if you are a judge or not. You should know better. As a judge, you know what the law is. You are intentionally violating that law. Whether you are obstructing federal investigators or obstructing ICE agents, or if you're harboring an illegal alien at your house, these are very serious crimes. And so these judges are facing felony charges. They are almost certainly going to face imprisonment. And this sends a powerful message to everyone that if judges can get charged for this, every other American is fair game. So this illegal immigration amnesty is coming to a screeching halt. President Trump campaigned on this, that he's gonna secure our bor border, he's gonna enforce our immigration laws, he's gonna get illegal aliens the hell out of our country. Particularly Trend Naragua foreign terrorist and Ms. 13 gang bangers. And anyone who gets in the President's way is going to face the wrath of the Justice Department, including these two state judges who are charged with very serious federal crimes.
Natalie Winters
And just a programming note, Warren Posse. In the bottom corner of the screen, President Trump and I believe I saw the first lady, Melania Trump, walking down Air Force One. They arrived in Rome. Obviously they're going to be attending the funeral procession for the late Pope. But no disrespect to him. Back to you, Mike. You used the word wrath. And again, I know you don't speak for the doj. You are your own person. But I have to ask on behalf of our audience, I wouldn't necessarily say that what we've seen out of the DOJ so far to me, rises to the level of full wrath. When you're talking about accountability for people who waged lawfare or some of the people who I think organized this illegal alien invasion, just help us understand if you think that that is coming and if the reason why we haven't seen it, is it just a time thing, or is there active subversion going on from within these agencies? Again, I know you can't necessarily share everything, but just for our audience who I think is, you know, really dying and desperate to see actual names, we haven't had any names released. Why do you think there's a holdup on that.
Mike Davis
Well, remember, you have to get officials confirmed, including U.S. attorneys, who will bring these criminal charges. And I imagine that anyone who is involved with the Crossfire Hurricane conspiracy better lawyer up, because justice is definitely coming. This is an ongoing criminal conspiracy. Nobody is above the law, and there is going to be accountability, and I'm going to make damn sure that happens.
Natalie Winters
And on that front, obviously, the great CEO starting an investigation not just into the smurfing, the small dollar donations, but also the foreign weird credit card donations using ActBlue as a conduit to likely commit mass election fraud. I know we aren't allowed to say that phrase on legacy media, but, Mike, your take on sort of that whole process, why you think he's entrusting DOJ to go after it, that just whole approach?
Mike Davis
I think that we have a massive fraud with Axe Blue where they are making donations. Apparently you have big, wealthy donors who are using these straw donors. Some of these people are dead. They don't know they're making these donations. This Act Blue appears to be a massive money laundering conspiracy, a money laundering fraud, a campaign finance violation. And I promise. Look, I know these Justice Department officials personally, like Pam Bondi and Chad Meisell and Todd Blanche and Amo Beauvais. These are serious people. They're not gonna just bring charges. You know, Tash Patel, Dan Bongino. They're not gonna bring charges willy nilly. They're gonna methodically build their case, and when the timing is right, they're gonna bring their indictments. And when they bring their indictments, you're gonna know that they're rock solid indictments that are gonna win a jury finding of guilt and the court's conviction.
Natalie Winters
I like it. We'll definitely have to have you back. You know, this is something, you know, I get called out by the legacy media. So much for being apparently a sycophant for the Trump administration. See, I ask tough questions. Cnn. But Mike Davis, in the meantime, if people want to follow you, stay up to date with everything you guys have going on at the Article 3 project. Where can they go to do that?
Mike Davis
Natalie, the media is always commenting on your clothes. What about my clothes? Why aren't they commenting on my clothes?
Natalie Winters
You got to get some more mini stuff, skirts. And then maybe they'll start writing. Or they'd actually probably praise you if you wore a skirt. I don't. I don't get that same love.
Mike Davis
I hear I'm too old and fat to wear a mini skirt, so that's not going to work out. But you know what? To these people, to these people who want to criticize you, Natalie, for your looks, tell them go to hell, stop being fat, stop sending their fat slob women to the White House. And maybe they would be. Such hate. So, yeah, go to article three projects, article number three project.org you can follow us on social media, you can donate, but only what you can afford. And you can take action, action, action, action. One of the action items that I think is relevant is my good friend Jason Redding Quinones, who's President Trump's nominee to be the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida in Miami. Let's get him confirmed over the next month or so and we're off to the races.
Natalie Winters
I can already see the headline fat Slob Women bashed by Mike Davis. Thank you as always for coming on. We'll have you back on soon. Thank you, sir.
Mike Davis
Thank you, Natalie.
Natalie Winters
In Warren Posse, we got just a maddening cold open after the break. Jake Sullivan decided to bless us with his presence on none other than Rachel Maddow just two nights ago. We'll roll that. But in the meantime, make sure you're checking out birchgold.com Bannon texting Bannon29898 or like I said, birchgold.com Bannon and find out why gold has always been a hedge.

Rachel Maddow
Today with gold, Biden's national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, in one of his first interviews since President Biden left office, says that from a national security perspective, in his estimation, Trump's first hundred days in office have been a, quote, unadulterated disaster. He says, quote, president Trump and his team have gone at the core American advantages in the world and systematically tried to dismantle them across all of the major dimensions of the things that have been America's major advantages. In less than 100 days, President Trump has put them all at risk. He says, quote, this is about the core foundations of American power and purpose in the world and President Trump's effort essentially to knock them out. Joining us now is Jake Sullivan, former national security adviser to President Biden. Mr. Sullivan, I really appreciate you, you being here. I know you haven't done many interviews, and I really appreciate you being here tonight for this one.
Mike Davis
Well, thanks a lot for having me.
Rachel Maddow
Rachel, I'm struck by the stark nature of what you said when you say that President Trump is dismantling America's core advantages in the world, the things that have been our major advantages, the things that make us the power that we are. You describe him as systematically dismantling those things. What are those advantages? And do you see his work against them as being irrevocable?
Mike Davis
Well, Rachel, I wouldn't say this. I'm not a person who usually speaks in hyperbole. I say it because I genuinely believe it. You ask, what are those advantages? And there are a few. It begins with America's unique system of alliances. No other power in the world has the strong, capable allies the United States has enjoyed for decades. And Donald Trump is intent on busting up those alliances. It's our unique capacity to attract talent from around the world. We can count on the talent of 7 billion people. China can only count on the talent of 1 billion people. But Donald Trump is casting doubt on.
Natalie Winters
Whether that's enough of the lovely highly Trust the expert Jake Sullivan, who did what when he was national security advisor, I think plunged the world as close as it probably ever has been to World War Three. But, yeah, keep lecturing us with your, what, Harvard, Kennedy and Yale degrees and fellowships. Yeah. The worst part of everything that he bloviated with Rachel Maddow, I guess. Condolences to Rachel Maddow, who will be going back to once a week programming, I believe, after starting this Monday. How offensive to say that what makes America great is that ruling elites like him can pick any one of the 7 billion people who exist across this planet to come and replace you in your own country because I guess you're not good enough. That's what makes America great to Jake Sullivan, his ability to treat this country. I know we always hear it whenever we talk about the H1B issue or immigration discourse, but treat this country like a special Economic Zone where there is no meaning to what it means to be an American citizen. I mean, we know that with what they did to the southern border or with what judges are doing by harboring not just illegal aliens, but terrorists. Illegal alien at that. I guess diversity is their strength when it comes to the gangs that they'll be importing into this country, or Chinese nationals too, or Iranians, take your pick of whatever foreign adversary people like Jake Sullivan think we should leave our border wide open to. I mean, I guess the Biden regime made their decision of who of the 7 billion people that exist in this world should have been imported to the United States. And by the looks of it, they chose terrorists, gang members, wife beaters, and basically everyone from every culture that's disparate from that of Western civilization. But I guess don't call it the Great Replacement Theory or you'll be lectured by Jake Sullivan, who thinks you're only as good as, I don't know, whatever little GDP statistic that you can produce for his weird, I think, encapsulation or ideology of what it means to be an American, which is that you should just listen to whatever lie he going to tell you about Ukraine or the Middle east, basically destroy this country or come right up to the brink of it and then feel the need to go on Rachel Maddow after writing some op ed and tell you that actually it's your fault we want to replace you with someone who doesn't even speak English, and we're going to make you train your replacement. And President Trump daring to reverse that world order, and I use that term intentionally, that's apparently the cardinal sin, the original sin of the Trump administration thinking that American citizenship should mean something. And I don't know, call me crazy, but a version of the Social Contract where your own government actually helps you, you're not asking for handouts or for DEI or affirmative action processes. No, you're just asking for your government to not bet against you if and import your replacement and make you train your replacement so you can, what, have your wages suppressed and then you're going to have to subsidize the new illegal aliens that are coming in. Well, our allies that Jake Sullivan wants to talk about this great ally system that we have of what is it protectorates, like Steve always says. That's the other thing. How dare President Trump ask them to pay their fair share? And I guess maybe it's, I don't know, something on like the chromosomal level with Democrats where they just don't understand that, like, citizenship should mean something. But now apparently that goes all the way to Act Blue, because as you guys have seen for, what is it, years, the reporting that foreigners, foreign nations are actually buying elections. They're plowing probably millions of dollars through ActBlue, though I guess we can't blame it if it's a Democrat platform. They don't understand borders or boundaries, but they're using foreign cash to sway elections. And in one case, we're going to get into it. But Josh Phillip from the Epoch Times, who does wonderful reporting on Chinese Communist Party subversion, particularly in the case of Michelle Wu, the Boston mayor, who is, you know, the tip of the spear, the resistance poster girl. I don't want to misgender, but I believe poster Girl is fitting. But it was actually just revealed by a great report in the Daily Caller just last week that a Chinese Communist Party intel officer, an intel asset who worked for the United Front, which is something that you and I both reported on, sort of the tip of the spear when it comes to Chinese Communist Party political infiltration, that he helped raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for her campaign, sort of Act Blue, I guess on a microcosm scale or my myopic scale, rather. But, Josh, if you could sort of walk us through this story, and I'm curious just more broadly to get your thoughts on the foreign vertical of the ActBlue campaign finance stuff.
Josh Phillip
Right. So the key part with all this is the United Front work department, which, you know, as you mentioned, Natalie, I know you've done a lot of work on, I've done a lot of work on. The important thing to understand is how the United Front work department functions and what its goals are. So this individual being accused of, again, tied to these Chinese spy organizations, using his ties to various organizations, not even just that one, to funnel money into the campaigns of politicians. He has direct ties, according to the Daily Caller, to the United Front work Department. A lot of that is through the All China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese. Now, what the United Front does, this is a branch of the Chinese Communist Party that is dedicated to doing what they call leadership capture. The role of the United Front is to, well, work on the front lines of the Chinese Communist Party, which is on American soil. That means these guys are operating in the United States. They have public organizations. They don't even try to hide it. I mean, Natalie, I know you've done a lot of research on this, too. You found individuals, like, they say it on their business cards half the time. They do such a poor job of hiding their ties to these Chinese spy organizations that it's almost laughable. They say it publicly. They have websites publicly. They don't try to hide it at all. So what the United front work department will do, it will approach various leaders. So it's going to be your politicians, your journalists, your academics. Like Harvard was having a lot of controversy with this. It'll approach your business leaders and it will offer them various forms of bribery or debt traps or whatever else. So the Chinese Communist party will typically offer four different things to people. That's going to be lust, meaning like honey traps, where maybe there's underage girls, they invite them back to China. Or like prostitution rings. There have been cases of those busted even here in the United States. Lust would be one of them. They'll videotape it. They'll blackmail people. That's a big one. Another one is going to be money. And so, of course, business leaders making business ties with China, sometimes they'll even set up like import export businesses, and they'll use that to funnel money into people's wallets effectively. Like, for example, the Chinese businesses might give them a 50% discount by doing so. It's as if they paid them like a million dollars. They'll do that. Another one's going to be fame. A lot of times with college professors, with academics or journalists, it's fame. They invite them to China. They treat them like royalty. You see this a lot with TikTokers and YouTubers right now who are getting offered these trips to China. That's one of the main tools they use with politicians. The main one they use would be power. And what they will do in that case seems very close to what we're seeing here and very close to what we're seeing with them. Maybe even laundering money through various other organizations. ActBlue is being accused of some of this right now. The way they do that is they will have organizations here in the United States. A lot of these are. They're called tongs. T O N G s. You have tons of them. There are tongs in New York City. There are tongs in Washington, D.C. there are tongs in San Francisco. There's tongs all over the United States. These are Chinese fraternal organizations. Sometimes they'll have tens of thousands of members at least, probably several thousand per Tong. Some claim to have upwards of 100,000 members. And if you work with them, if the Chinese Communist Party uses its united front to win you over, they will donate to your campaign. They will bus around voters in New York. This has been publicly disclosed. I've personally investigated cases of this, including with former New York City Comptroller John Lew, who was getting direct support from some of the Tongs and two people tied to break.
Natalie Winters
But I want to hold you because I think you make a good point that what's happening at the tong level could potentially being replicated across the country, national and federal levels. But Warren Posse. We'll be right back. Also got Mike Howell joining us. So don't go anywhere. But in the meantime, you can make sure you're checking out my patriot supply. That's mypatriotsupply.com you never know the way the world is going. My Patriotsupply.com, joe Rieke and the team over there. You can help support them. And of course hometitlelock.com promo code. Steve, they have a bunch of deals. We need you in the fights. Then we're gonna have a lot of phone calls that need to be made coming up shortly with all this crazy spending stuff. That's hometitleock.com Bannon. We'll be right back.
Jake Sullivan
Heard me talk about my Patriot supply because I trust them when it comes to my family's well being. And I just got word they're doing something they've never done before. Right now you can get the best selling mega 3 month emergency food supply for the same price as the standard kit. Now what I mean by that, that's more than a $360 off of real beef, real chicken, plus farm fresh fruits and vegetables included at no extra charge. Even better. This kit now gives you 2500 calories a day. More than any other emergency food supply I've seen. And let's be honest, when things go sideways, you're going to need more than just survival. You need strength. You need energy. You need real food. This kit will be there when you need it, stays fresh for up to 25 years and it ships fast and discreetly. If you've been waiting for the right time, this is it. Go to my Patriotsupply.com and claim your Mega kit while this offer lasts. That's my patriotsupply.com here's your host, Stephen K. Ban.
Natalie Winters
You're back in the war room. We're joined still by Joshua Philip from the Epic Times. One of, I would say the nations leading Chinese Communist Party infiltration experts. Josh, I want you to kind of pick up where you left off this idea of the Tong style infiltration operation but being sort of replicated again potentially. I think the Act Blue investigation could show some interesting roads leading back to Beijing. But if you think that that's being replicated on a national level or where else it may be.
Josh Phillip
Yeah. So the reason I was explaining that is because if, if this were the case and I know there's accusations on it, I know the House is actually investigating ActBlue right now. They're asking for answers on this. And I also know that with this recent case, this individual is giving hundreds of thousands of dollars to a political campaign. This is how that would work through the United Front. And so the point is, one of these individuals has now in fact been shown to be with the United Front. Like he just says it publicly. So it's not a secret. The key part with the United Front, though is not necessarily the stuff in China. The key part is the stuff here in the United States, the stuff right on American soil, and that's the Tongs. So the United Front works through the Tongs. Basically the way it functions. The Chinese consulate will have representatives, they call it liaison work. They will approach people, they'll get agents, but the agents, they work within the Tongs. And again, these are Chinese organizations, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of members and they'll do all kinds of stuff. It could be, for example, busing around voters. It could be doing get out the vote drives. It could be offering, you know, protests or support or whatever else. But they, they also do straw donors. This is where the money comes in. So for example, Natalie, you mentioned ActBlue and there are concerns right now that they were getting foreign money. One of the things that Donald Trump himself has brought up is he wants to investigate possible straw donors. Straw donors? What does that mean? It means that you're making illegal campaign contributions by basically donating money under somebody else's name. The accusation against ActBlue is that they were not using CVVs, you know, card verification systems. In other words, so they can't really verify the origin of donations. They can't verify this was a verified donor or something like that. If the Chinese Communist Party is in fact tied in with this, this is why that's important is because what they will do oftentimes is they'll launder money through the Tongs. They'll launder money and they will do straw donors through the tongs. And so you'll have, you know, usually small donations, oftentimes not usually big ones. And, you know, hundreds of people, thousands of people, tens of thousands of people. They can use these networks for those things. The other thing that needs to be investigated though, is if you make a deal with the united front, if the united front is there, it is always I scratch your back, you scratch mine. There's always something in return. Part of that might look as simple as lobbying. It might look as simple as them having dinner together or going to China together or something else. They'll say, I care about this issue, that issue and that issue. You need to represent these. If you remember the assistant to the mayoral, the governor assistant in New York who was arrested as a Chinese spy, the one who was working under Governor Hochul, that individual, of course, was also accused of having blocked certain issues that were within the interest of the Chinese Communist Party to block. And so they will try to enact Chinese Communist Party issues by manipulating these politicians and using the leverage of the quote, unquote, Chinese community, when in reality they're not representing real Chinese, they're representing CCP front organizations. They'll use that as the narrative to justify those kinds of things. And so to me, this is cut and dry, the kind of stuff that's happening all over the country. This is not one official, this is not two officials. This is not just one organization. This stuff is so common. I think people would be absolutely shocked if they understood how broad these systems are.
Natalie Winters
Josh, as always, you get into the stuff in a granular way that I think most people on the China be probably because they're compromised and paid for, never can because they probably lose all their contracts. But if people want to stay up to date with everything that you're working on and everything you guys are doing over at the Epic Times. We love the Epic Times. Where can people go to do that?
Josh Phillip
They can check out my show, crossroads. I'm on YouTube. You can go to Crossroads with Joshua.
Natalie Winters
Phillip, thank you so much for joining us.
Josh Phillip
Thank you, Natalie.
Natalie Winters
Of course we're joined. He's been on sabbatical, but I'm happy to have him back. That is, of course, the fire breathing M. Mike Howell. Mike, so much to get into. I would love your thoughts a little bit if you have anything on ActBlue. But also I know you have always called out weak, feckless Republicans for being just that, weak and feckless. And I could probably use a whole litany of other words. But on the mass deportation front again, maybe I'm coming off as too hard with my Mike Davis interview, but I think a lot of people are saying justice is coming, the deportations are coming, all this stuff is coming. We don't have the time for this stuff to come. We need it now. And I think you probably share my perspective on that. But your thoughts on if there's anything to do to actually make that materialize or if it's rhinos up to their old tricks.
Ed Martin
Yeah. So, first of all, great to be back with you. I thought you'd be in a burqa and bowing down to the left in the media after they're just ripping on everything you wear all the time.
Natalie Winters
No, no, it would be. It would be a niqab. That's the full head to toe. One burka would be too, too liberal, apparently.
Ed Martin
Gotcha. See, I just don't care enough to know what those terms even mean.
Natalie Winters
Hey, I'm not sensitive.
Ed Martin
I mean, the goal and the promise and the mandate from President Trump and then candidate Trump was mass deportations bigger than the level of Eisenhower. Eisenhower deported well over a million in a year during a big operation that was named something I can't say on your fine program without getting canceled, but had an illegal total population of much smaller than right now. So about 4 or 5 million, if I had to guess. No one has exact numbers. So about 20, 25% of the total illegal population in one year. That's the standard that President Trump set for himself and his cabinet. So far, the numbers aren't trending anywhere close to that. That's for a lot of reasons, some good and some bad. They're got a huge reconciliation bill coming down the pike to be announced next week, and everyone's going to hear a lot about it. People are going to support it and tell you how great it is. And it could be. It could be. I haven't seen the exact text, but there's only one number that I'm truly tracking in that bill, and that is how many illegal aliens will it allow the administration to deport? And that number better have a bunch of commas in it, and it better be a few million per year, because without that, we're not going to meet the mandate, current projections right now, and only focusing on the worst of the worst, which I get it, the gangbangers got to go home. But you know who else has to go home? Everyone who's illegally here. And you see the rhinos shifting their language and saying they only want to deport the hardened criminals Well, I don't want to sit here and wait for an illegal alien to become a hardened criminal. It is a stupid immigration policy to wait for somebody to kill someone before they get deported. Let's get them all out. Let's do what we told everyone we would do. I have the administration's pullback. I know Tom Homan very well and he wants them all out. So let's give him what he needs. Let's not sugarcoat it. Let's be straight. It's gotta be in the millions and we gotta get the machinery moving fast because it's not right now.
Natalie Winters
Yeah, they're all criminals. I don't like the idea that it's the first tranches criminals. I mean, first of all they're all criminals and they all need to go. And I think 10 million million is maybe even low. I've always been a devotee of the, the OG Ann Coulter, Bear Stearns analysis that what it's more in the scale of like 40 million-plus. Probably the way that they conduct the census data is so, you know, bogus to begin with. But I think someone who does channel every day that fire breathing spirit is of course the wonderful Ed Martin over at doj. You would think, although you know, our audience knows that actually you would believe it probably pretty easily that Republicans are doing their old tricks. They don't want someone who actually is committed to real change at the behemoth that is doj. But just walk us through the attacks that he is facing.
Ed Martin
Yeah. So Ed Martin is the most important nominee on the horizon and probably for a long time. That's because him being there is absolutely central to this administration's agenda. He's up to be the US Attorney for Washington D.C. the District of Columbia. He's already been in the job. He is a U.S. attorney. He gets to be it for up to 120 days. But in order to stay, the Senate needs to confirm him and he needs to be in that job because D.C. has been a crime ridden terrible place for too long. I moved out of the city myself a few years ago during COVID It has not recovered. He is refocusing a office that basically used all of its resources under the last guy to go after J6ers, you know, 1600 cases or something crazy like that. Meanwhile the city festered into, you know, crime ridden juvenile crimes out of control. It's just not safe anymore. We got the 250th anniversary of America coming up. All eyes will be on Washington D.C. from around the world. We have limited time to get this thing cleaned up. And the left is terrified of Ed Martin. They absolutely are. Why? Because he's an even handed guy who will enforce the law. And they don't like that. He went after Chuck Schumer for the comments Schumer made about, you know, reaping the whirlwind for Brett Kavanaugh and others where he threatened the Supreme Court justices and the left lost their mind. But what was the result? Schumer caved. He went to the Senate floor and basically crawled back his comments. So he's already getting some accountability, making him retreat. But they don't want to see that very important office that was weaponized so harshly under the Biden administration returned to a neutral and strong force for the rule of law. And so they are pulling out all the dirty tricks. They're, you know, even reaching so far to say he, you know, was anti Semitic, which is the most absurd thing and one of the laziest slurs I've heard. And it squarely does not apply. I think he's cleared the record up. He's got massive Jewish support out there. Leaders are lining up to back him. They see right through these just dirty Democrat tricks. And even today he announced an investigation into Wikipedia, which has basically become a foreign intelligence playground from the looks of it. It glows big time. You see all these big edits happening on issues of national security and foreign policy and cultural issues. You wonder who's behind the keyboard. I think I have a pretty good idea. And I think Ed Martin's gonna figure it out. So powerful office. President Trump needs him in. President Trump wants him in. Hopefully the Senate does what's right for the country, what's right for Washington, D.C. even the senators, they got staffers getting mugged all the time. And he's taken steps to make sure that on both sides, everyone can at least show up to work in D.C. without being afraid of getting mugged or carjacked. We had a member get carjacked a couple of years ago. It's so out of control. And our nation's capital can't be a disgusting crime rate in place. We got to make it beautiful again. We got to make it great again. And Ed Martin's the best hope to do that and actually start getting the accountability that everyone you, you want, I want rolling. It's been too slow so far. I think we all agree. People say there's reasons for that. People say there's not. But Ed Martin is the biggest force for accountability out there. We need him in.
Natalie Winters
And I know the Process is still underway, but our audiences, I think, claim to fame or maybe infamy, is their phone calls actually making real change happen in D.C. are there any names that you can give us of people that they should be calling, that they can help you help the MAGA movement, help make sure that he gets confirmed?
Ed Martin
Yeah. So right now, no Republican senators come out and said they won't vote for them. But what we're trying to do is get commitments out there. So call your allies, call your friends, the officers you love, that you'll know be in this fight. We need people speaking out on his behalf to lay down the marker and make sure that this is seen through. It is, again, the biggest force for accountability and cleaning up Washington, D.C. the left is all in to take him down. Durbin and Schumer and Schiff are losing their minds. And so we love to see, you know, everyone up on the Hill wrap their arms around him and hold the line. So for now, let's keep those nos at zero and let's hopefully get them through and turn this city around.
Natalie Winters
And Mike, real quick, if people want to follow you, support what you guys are working on, what you're doing. Where can they go to do all that?
Ed Martin
Oh, you gotta come to Axe. We're at it'syourgov. It's a wait for it handle switch.
Mike Davis
Okay.
Ed Martin

Natalie Winters
Worked on the immigrant issue and you know what? We were prepared for them. A number of very small, very big, very medium sized. Really a huge list of nonprofits banded together. They put out a statement and give credit where credit is due. Senator Schumer held a press conference with all of them arrayed and they said, an attack on one is an attack on all. We formed The NATO of NGOs, the NATO of protection. This is collective action. Norm, that's enough of whatever the heck that was. I thought the contrarian's opening video was cringe. I think that takes the prize. That, of course, was Norm Eisen on the bottom of that, what seemed to be like a FaceTime call because it was so cringe. I don't know why any, anyone would want that to be public. But the buried lead there, of course, the term NATO of NGOs, I can't think of two words or institutions that I hate more or like less. But I want to link this to what's going on with the Act Blue stuff. Of course, NATO of NGOs, there is almost some military element to that. Right. And that's because I would posit, though, despite having significant, significant and copious amounts of help from Western elites, looking at you, Alejandro Mayorkas, in terms of facilitating and orchestrating the illegal alien invasion on this country under Joe Biden, and of course, years prior, there was also a foreign element to it as well. And a lot of that was done using NGOs as conduits. And while a lot of that work was funded by your taxpayer dollars, just like a lot of the resistance to President Trump now is being supported by your taxpayer dollars. One of the key platforms that the money to fund these organizations, which we're going to get into actually was, believe it or not, ActBlue. So I would encourage the Trump administration, DHS, in addition to looking at ActBlue's involvement on the election front, election vertical, also in terms of immigration, and that's probably too useful euphemistic a term because this was a full blown invasion. What do I mean by that? Essentially every ngo, I'm talking about groups from the start of the process. Groups that set up, believe it or not, water stations, food resources on the southern border, along the trek from whatever country these aliens may be coming from until they get to the southern border. Groups like the Keno Border Initiative, they actually fundraise using ActBlue. Now there's groups like Catholic Charities and their Lutheran counterparts which also fundraise. In addition, like I was saying to your tax dollars off of ActBlue, these are the groups that once they actually make it into CBP custody, they're then flown into the interior of this country under the guise of, you know, Christian, a lot of Jewish Catholics or Jewish Charities and Catholic Charities are down there too. Concerningly. We can toss it up on the screen. There's a group called Border Servant Corps, which I was going through their annual report. You can see there, they brag about the airlines and the number of people, the cost it is to fly them. If you want to talk about the eulogy of the United States of America, just look at that document. I think the graphic design and the formatting of a document that is articulating the cost per person to invade the United States of America should not be lost on anyone. I mean, let that sink in. But there's groups then that once these illegal aliens are flown into any town, maybe it's your town, the groups that are providing them with essentially pro bono legal aid to make sure that they're not deported. All those groups also fundraise using ActBlue. And then the groups that are helping these people actively avoid deportation. So after they've been caught by ice, whether it be a Trump era raid or even before, or the groups that are helping them obtain citizenship or green card something to that effect. They're also all funded by ActBlue. And then you have groups that you've seen really active under President Trump. We can put this flyer up on screen, but organizing a lot of the pro open borders demonstrations, in some cases calling to defund, if not straight up, just get rid of ice. In some cases they just want to abolish all detention centers. We can put the melt ICE graphic up on screen. But all of these organizations take their funding from ActBlue. One group in particular called Freedom for Immigrants. Frankly, I prefer Freedom from Immigrants, but I guess Freedom for Immigrants is so radical, is so woke that they want to, quote, end detention. That's their stated goal. The Immigrant Home foundation, another Act Blue Beneficiary Their whole reason for existing is to advocate so criminal, illegal aliens can stay in the United States. A group called Immigration Forward. Their niche issue is to lobby. So HIV positive, illegal, sorry, HIV positive. Can you imagine HIV positive legal aliens can stay in the United States. Then you have the Black Immigrant Collective whose goals are abolition and liberation. Again, funded by. Absolutely. ActBlue, the same payment processor used by mainstream Democratic Party candidates. And my personal favorite, least favorite of all of these groups, like I said, being funded by ActBlue is the Immigrant alliance for justice and Equity, which is an abolitionist organization that denounces white supremacy, the patriarchy and capitalism and is pro black, pro brown, pro indigenous, pro queer, pro trans, pro sex worker, pro worker, pro woman and gender minority minorities. And last but not least, pro earth. So if they're smurfing donations for ActBlue for Democrat candidates and campaigns, I'd posit that they're doing the same thing for these pro open borders charities if you want to understand who is funding and financing a lot of this invasion. So I hope that we can investigate that as well. We're about to be joined by Mike Lindell. Real quick, make sure you're checking out patriot mobile.

Hey War Room. Hope you're all doing well. My name is Trevor Comstock. I'm one of the co creators of Sacred Human. And I wanted to share just a little bit more about our brand for those who may not know of us yet yet but about six months ago we decided to launch Sacred Human with really the simple mission being to provide American made natural supplements without all the artificial nonsense. So unfortunately as many of you know, a lot of these big corporate supplements will include things like preservatives, artificial ingredients and other additives that really aren't benefiting your health. So that's why we created Sacred Human really trying to fill this gap of quality supplements and of course the beef liver being our flagship products. For those who don't know, beef liver is loaded with highly bioavailable ingredients such as vitamin A, B12, zinc CoQ10, etc. And because it is 100% grass fed and natural, your body is able to absorb these nutrients far better than taking any other synthetic multivitamin or any other synthetic vitamin in general. So we have some other amazing products, but if you'd like to check us out, you can go to sacredhumanhealth.com and cheers to your health.
Podcast Summary: Bannon's War Room
Episode: CCP Infiltration In America; Truth Behind The Deportation Numbers
Release Date: April 25, 2025
In Episode 4441 of Bannon's War Room, host Natalie Winters steps in to lead a compelling discussion on two pressing issues: the alleged infiltration of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) within American institutions and the true state of deportation numbers in the United States. The episode features insightful interviews with key figures such as Mike Davis, a prominent commentator on DOJ activities, and Ed Martin, a fierce advocate for aggressive immigration enforcement.
The episode opens with a heated conversation about the perceived lack of accountability within the U.S. judicial system regarding immigration enforcement.
Natalie Winters highlights concerns over judges seemingly ignoring court orders related to deportations:
"If we ignore this, if they can ignore court orders for immigrants, what else." [01:36]
Mike Davis underscores the severity of these actions, asserting that harboring illegal aliens is a federal crime irrespective of one's position:
"These judges are facing felony charges. They are almost certainly going to face imprisonment." [07:54]
The discussion intensifies around the notion that justice is being delayed or obstructed, with Winters emphasizing the urgency of enforcing deportation laws:
"Justice without enforcement is a lie. We either fight back now or get used to living in a system that chooses cruelty." [01:36]
A significant portion of the episode delves into the alleged misuse of ActBlue, a prominent Democratic fundraising platform, suggesting it serves as a conduit for CCP money laundering and election interference.
Mike Davis discusses the investigation into ActBlue, pointing out the use of straw donors and potential foreign contributions:
"Act Blue appears to be a massive money laundering conspiracy, a money laundering fraud, a campaign finance violation." [11:44]
Josh Phillip from The Epoch Times elaborates on how the CCP's United Front Work Department utilizes Chinese fraternal organizations, or "Tongs," to funnel money into American political campaigns:
"They will launder money through the Tongs. They'll launder money and they will do straw donors through the tongs." [23:25]
The conversation highlights specific cases, such as allegations against judges in Milwaukee and New Mexico for harboring illegal aliens, suggesting a broader pattern of CCP influence within the U.S. judiciary.
The episode features in-depth interviews with experts who provide critical perspectives on the issues discussed.
Mike Davis recounts his meetings with various officials in the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), Department of Justice (DOJ), and Federal Trade Commission (FTC), emphasizing ongoing efforts to enforce Trump's immigration policies:
"Justice is definitely coming, right? And I'm doing that right now." [05:49]
He asserts that despite media silence, substantial actions are underway to prosecute those involved in obstructing immigration laws.
Ed Martin, a staunch proponent of aggressive deportation measures, discusses the administration's goals to significantly increase deportation numbers:
"We need, um, do what we told everyone we would do. It's gotta be in the millions and we gotta get the machinery moving fast because it's not right now." [35:19]
Martin criticizes the current administration's pace and advocates for immediate, large-scale deportations to meet the set targets.
Josh Phillip explains the mechanisms through which the CCP's United Front Work Department infiltrates American institutions, focusing on financial contributions and political manipulation via organizations like ActBlue:
"This stuff is so common. I think people would be absolutely shocked if they understood how broad these systems are." [29:58]
He emphasizes the role of Tongs in facilitating donations and influencing political outcomes, painting a dire picture of CCP's clandestine operations within the U.S.
The latter part of the episode centers on the administration's deportation policies and the challenges faced in their implementation.
Ed Martin criticizes the current deportation numbers as insufficient relative to President Trump's ambitious targets, advocating for a more robust approach:
"Let's get them all out. Let's do what we told everyone we would do." [35:37]
Natalie Winters ties this discussion back to ActBlue's role in funding pro-immigration NGOs, suggesting a coordinated effort to undermine deportation efforts through financial support of organizations that resist immigration enforcement.
The episode concludes with a strong call to action, urging listeners to support efforts to enforce immigration laws and counteract CCP influence.
Natalie Winters urges the Trump administration and listeners to investigate ActBlue's involvement in facilitating illegal immigration:
"I would encourage the Trump administration, DHS, in addition to looking at ActBlue's involvement on the election front, also in terms of immigration." [43:20]
Ed Martin emphasizes the need for public support in confirming key DOJ nominees like himself to strengthen law enforcement in Washington D.C.:
"We need people speaking out on his behalf to lay down the marker and make sure that this is seen through." [41:31]
The episode wraps up with promotional content interspersed with final remarks reinforcing the necessity of proactive measures against illegal immigration and foreign interference.

Additionally, it highlights the purported role of ActBlue and CCP-affiliated organizations in undermining these efforts, urging listeners to take immediate action to support nationwide deportation initiatives and counter foreign infiltration.
