1. International Ceasefires and Diplomatic Efforts

The episode opens with breaking news concerning international conflicts. President Zelensky and European leaders are advocating for a 30-day truce with Russia in Kyiv, accompanied by a newly announced ceasefire between Pakistan and India.

Steve Bannon underscores the significance of these developments:

"[00:11] Between Pakistan and India."

Political Commentator elaborates on the diplomatic maneuvers:

"[01:08] 'President Donald Trump announcing that his negotiators, Marco Rubio, have agreed to a full and immediate ceasefire... Diplomacy continued to play out with the Saudis and the Turks involved.'"

He further highlights the complex issues at play:

"How they address the existential water concerns for Pakistan remains unclear, but there's a temporary sense of relief."

2. US Budget and Tax Policy Debates

Attention shifts to the domestic front, focusing on the federal budget bill and potential tax reforms. The White House is considering proposals to raise taxes on the wealthy and close the carried interest loophole, which has long been criticized as a favorable provision for the private equity industry.

Political Analyst poses a critical question:

"[02:41] 'Do you believe Donald Trump actually wants to increase taxes on the rich and close the carried interest loophole?'”

Mike Davis responds skeptically:

"[03:22] 'I don't know that Donald Trump wants to do that. I don't think he has any particular philosophy of that.'"

Steve Bannon counters:

"[03:27] 'I think Steve Bannon does.'"

This exchange reflects internal disagreements within the administration regarding fiscal policies:

"[03:47] 'They're talking about people who earn over $2.5 million a year. That is 0.1% of the population. That's another number that won't get you there.'"
— Steve Bannon [03:47]

3. Potential Suspension of Habeas Corpus and Immigration Policies

A significant portion of the discussion centers on immigration policies and the potential suspension of habeas corpus, raising alarms about civil liberties.

Immigration Advocate voices deep concerns:

"[03:57] 'We are going to take away people's right to due process and deport them... They’re going to throw them in a foreign prison or a jail across the country. That is a deep, scary, fundamental threat...'"
— Immigration Advocate [03:57]

Conservative Commentator echoes the urgency:

"[05:17] 'This is the primal scream of a dying regime.'"
— Conservative Commentator [05:17]

Steve Bannon adds to the tension:

"[05:22] 'Pray for our enemies because we're going...'"
— Steve Bannon [05:22]

These statements highlight fears of authoritarian measures undermining constitutional rights.

---

4. Judicial Challenges and Constitutional Crisis

A heated debate ensues over the federal judiciary's interference with presidential powers, particularly concerning budget cuts and executive actions.

Mike Davis presents a critical analysis of a recent judicial decision:

"[08:31] 'Judge Susan Ilston issued a temporary restraining order preventing President Trump from reducing the workforce or reorganizing 20 federal agencies... This is judicial sabotage of our democracy.'"
— Mike Davis [08:31]

Steve Bannon concurs, criticizing the judiciary's role:

"[11:36] 'These radical Democrats are smart about where they go. They know this... This is judicial sabotage.'"
— Steve Bannon [11:36]

The conversation intensifies as they discuss the potential for a constitutional crisis:

"[22:22] 'President Trump's efforts to secure the border and deport illegal aliens are being sabotaged by Democrat politicians... These are very serious federal crimes.'"
— Mike Davis [22:22]

Steve Bannon emphasizes the need for decisive action:

"[27:17] 'This constitutional crisis is going to have to be solved... We have to burn down the whole federal judiciary and start over.'"
— Mike Davis [27:17]

This section underscores the conflict between the executive branch and the judiciary, with fears of undermining the rule of law.

5. Upcoming Political Developments

As the episode progresses, Steve Bannon outlines upcoming political maneuvers and strategic plans aimed at countering judicial and legislative obstacles:

• Judicial Reforms: Emphasizing the need to impeach judges like Judge Boasberg and reduce the federal judiciary's budget by $2 billion.

  "[28:00] 'We need to impeach Judge Boasberg and cut $2 billion from the federal judiciary's budget because the Supreme Court...'"
  — Mike Davis [28:00]

• Strategic Appointments: Highlighting moves to place allies in key legal positions to challenge ongoing judicial restraints.

• Public Mobilization: Encouraging listeners to support initiatives like the Article 3 Project aimed at restructuring the judiciary.

Transcript

[News Anchor]

Two fronts right now. News out of Kyiv. President Zelensky and European leaders are calling for a 30 day truce with Russia starting Monday. We've also just learned of a ceasefire.

[Steve Bannon]

Between Pakistan and India.

[Legal Analyst]

It is something that even before this country was founded, it was incredibly important in England and then in the United States to have this ability to go to court, to say, produce the body that if you have been improperly charged, improperly seized, that you had ability to go to court and say under a writ of habeas corpus, a judge has to determine that it was valid for the state to do this to you. It is such a fundamental part of our freedoms. It is. That is why what Stephen Miller is saying is not going to happen. But to Michael's point, is incredibly dangerous for anyone who is a lawyer. This is, it has to be the most fundamental right in terms of freedom in any, any country that thinks of itself as a rule of law country.

[Political Commentator]

And now we learn half an hour ago from Donald Trump on Truth Social, President Donald Trump announcing that the his negotiators, Marco Rubio, we knew was involved here have been working through the night and have agreed a full and immediate ceasefire. President Trump offers his congratulations to both sides. Look, I've been getting some sense of the back channel diplomacy that's been going on from my sources over the past couple of days. Yesterday they were saying, look, we're pausing for diplomacy. But when India hit Pakistan in the early hours of the morning, it appeared that, that that window would shut and Pakistan had this massive response, firing back. But it seems that that diplomacy continued to play out. The Saudis playing a role, the Turkish playing a role as well. Marco Rubio talking to his opposite number in India, his opposite number here in Pakistan, of course. And this sense that has been in the, that Pakistan didn't want to engage against what it was feeling was provocation coming from India over the last few days while its, quote, friends were trying to help. It didn't want its, quote, friends, the United States, Saudi, the Turks here to get caught in the middle. And it does appear that this has been worked out to a degree. How it works out at the front lines, we don't know. And I think the other big question has to be what do they do about the issue of water that's existential for Pakistan, this concern that India has said that it was shut, this vital water has shut this vital water from three major rivers coming into Pakistan. How that gets resolved, that's existential for Pakistan. Not clear. But sense of relief here right now.

[Political Analyst]

As 24 hours as we're looking at this big budget, budget bill, there's now this idea coming from the White House that Donald Trump could be open to raising taxes on the wealthy as well as potentially closing the carried interest loophole. If you're not familiar with it, it is basically a giveaway to the private equity industry that year after year, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle say, God, that's ridiculous. We're going to get rid of it. Yet it never goes anywhere. Do you believe there is truth to this, that Donald Trump does actually want to increase taxes on the rich and close this carried interest loophole? Do you believe this? Because guess what? He does need to find a way to, to get this budget passed.

[Mike Davis]

I don't know that Donald Trump wants to do that. I don't think he has any particular philosophy of that.

[Steve Bannon]

I think Steve Bannon does.

[Mike Davis]

Like, yes, the disembodied hand of Steve Bannon reaching in.

[Steve Bannon]

Right. So I think that's true.

[Legal Analyst]

I think they have to find the money somewhere.

[Mike Davis]

Theoretically not enough.

[Steve Bannon]

I mean, they carried interest arounding error.

[Mike Davis]

In the federal budget.

[Steve Bannon]

And what he's talking about wouldn't get.

[Mike Davis]

You there, like taxing the rich.

[Steve Bannon]

They're talking about people who earn, earn.

[Mike Davis]

Over $2.5 million a year. That is 0.1% of the population. That's another number that won't get you there.

[Steve Bannon]

Right.

[Legal Analyst]

It's like the wealth tax is not touched here.

[Immigration Advocate]

The fact that this is where their head is going, right, which is that we are going to take away people's right to due process and we are going to deport them. Maybe we'll deport them to their home country. Maybe we'll put them in the jail four hours north of me in Louisiana and make them sit there for a month. There was a young woman in Georgia the other day who was brought here when she was 4, was stopped at a traffic stop. She got sent to some ICE detention center three hours away, shackled, you know, put into a prison. Right. Like, who knows they're floating, sending people to Libya. We already know that they're putting people in the El Salvador prison. Like, this is absolutely fundamental and this is a threat to every American. Obviously, people that are here on a green card or on a visa or on an over. You know, they're at more threat if you're not a U.S. citizen. But if these guys on the White House law are going to say, we're going to continue this, like this is our objective, we are going to take people and we don't care what the court says, we don't care what the law says. And we're going to throw them in a foreign prison or throw them in a war torn African country or throw them in a jail across the country. That is a deep, scary, fundamental threat and it must be rejected and it must be pushed back against aggressively. And that's why I appreciate what the mayor and others are doing in New Jersey.

[Conservative Commentator]

This is the primal scream of a dying regime.

[Steve Bannon]

Pray for our enemies because we're going.

[Conservative Commentator]

Medieval on these people.

[Steve Bannon]

I got a free shot.

[Conservative Commentator]

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.

[Steve Bannon]

In the world to stop that, but.

[Conservative Commentator]

You'Re not going to stop it.

[Steve Bannon]

It's going to happen. And where do people like that go to share the big lie?

[Immigration Advocate]

MAGA Media I wish in my soul.

[Steve Bannon]

I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

[Conservative 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.

[Mike Davis]

War Room here's your host, Stephen K. Band.

[Steve Bannon]

It's Saturday, the 10th of May, year of our Lord 2025. Absolute avalanche of massive news from late yesterday afternoon. Until we came on and still coming on, we didn't get a chance to mention that the Chinese negotiators seemed to get up and walk out of the meeting with Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessant and Jamison Greer, the trade rep in Switzerland. But then they came back in a little while and they said, oh, we're just taking a break. So intense negotiations going on there overnight. Looks like President Trump has been able to broker a, at least some sort of ceasefire or step down between Pakistan and India. Jerusalem Post is reporting that President Trump is going to announce a two state, a Palestinian state as a solution or part of a solution, I guess, a non Hamas run Palestinian state. Witkoff under incredible pressure, getting hit from every side by the neocons. Matt Bull, an incredible interview with, with Witkoff being attacked by, by everyone that is a neocon saying Wyckoff's not up to it as he's trying to negotiate with the Russians in this, you know, temporary ceasefire in Ukraine. Of course, the last 72 hours have had Xi and Putin rubbing up on each other. Buddy, buddy. In Moscow for the Russians version of victory in Europe day or victory in the war, the part of the war they cared about which was the European war. Not just that. You've got so many things happening in the courts and of course A radical judge in San Francisco is taking us down another mile marker to the constitutional crisis which I predict will happen in mid June, mid to late June. Mike Davis is with us. And Mike, I greatly appreciate you taking time away from the family. I know you get family matters you're dealing with today, but thanks for joining us. I want to start with the judge in San Francisco. He, he President Trump's Article 2 powers of letting people go, slashing budgets, shutting down agencies. I think there's 21 agencies that this judge ruled on. Can you explain to us what happened?

[Mike Davis]

We have a San Francisco Clinton judge, Susan Ilston, you've never heard of her before today, but she just issued a so called temporary restraining order ordering that the President of the United States could not carry out reductions in force or other organized reorganizations of the executive branch for like 20 agencies. This is clearly a lawless order. Again, the President ran, campaigned on the fact that he's going to hire Elon Musk, he's going to set up the Department of Government Efficiency or doge, and he's going to cut waste, fraud and abuse in our government. And not only does he have the, the right to do this, the constitutional right to do this, he has a constitutional duty to do this because he has a constitutional duty to take care that our laws are faithfully executed. And when we have waste, fraud and abuse in our executive branch, he has a duty to make sure that that is eliminated. And the President's executive orders are very clear. He's doing what he's allowed to do within the statutory framework that Congress has provided. He's not violating any statute when he does this. And so these, in this case, we have labor unions, nonprofits and local governments running to a San Francisco Democrat activist judge and getting a so called temporary restraining order that the President can't continue with these reductions in force and this reorganization of the executive branch, what makes this really illegal is under Rule 65C of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, posting security or a bond is required when you get an injunction like this. And so this judge just wrote in an order, no big deal, you don't have to have a bond. That's a direct violation of the law. Because guess what? When a higher court says that the President can do what he's doing, the federal government's going to be out a lot of money, tens of millions of dollars to have to pay people, pay people and pay contractors that he otherwise wouldn't be paying. But for this Democrat operative judge's unlawful order, unconstitutional illegal order, and so Here we are. Another activist judge is not performing judicial review. Another Democrat activist judge is performing judicial sabotage. And it's really judicial sabotage of the American people because the American people elected the President of the United States to do what the President is doing, regardless of his name is Trump or whatever his name is. Take Trump out of the picture. Take, take Trump derangement out of the picture. This is judicial sabotage of our democracy that these Democrats are pretending to, that they protect.

[Steve Bannon]

They know what works though. I mean this is the, this is the one parlor trick. They've going to get into the arresting the mayor of, of Newark and other things, habeas Corpus and the D.C. attorney situation. But this is what they know works. They know going to these radical judges which they pre shop to go in and have these TROs which are nationwide. And this, and her lecture in her opinion was he's got to work with the, with the legislative branch, with the Article 1 people. Well, he is, this whole budget takes all these down. He's doing this at the beginning of this. So he is working with, he is working with Congress. He's not avoiding Congress on this. He's put forward a budget. These things are getting taken down and there'll be rescissions. So I don't understand what her logic is, but it's working. I mean, to delay is to deny. And this is another delay tactic because you have to go to, you have to go to appellate court and you know that'll be a week or two and then maybe the Supreme Court on this. So this seems to be working. And it doesn't look like Congress is stepping in to cut budgets or to be an enforcer here. Mike, am I missing that?

[Mike Davis]

No, you're exactly right, Steve. And I would remember if you are a fired federal employee, you have recourse. You go to the Merit Systems Protection Board and you file a claim there. If you are a fired federal contractor, you have recourse. You go to the court of federal claims and you file a lawsuit there. But this idea that you can go to an activist judge in San Francisco, you can just randomly pick any of these 670 district court judges around the country and go to their courtroom whenever you feel like it and get a temporary restraining order that's not temporary without posting a bonds and it's going to cost the taxpayers tens of millions of dollars. And part of a temporary restraining order is you have exigent circumstances. Here we are, we are on May 10, right? That these executive orders came out months ago. So what? Why did they wait until May 10th to May 9th to bring this, this complaint with this activist judge in San Francisco. They're clearly judge shopping. This is clearly a court coordinated efforts by these Democrat plaintiffs going to these Democrat judges. And again, this is judicial sabotage. President Trump has four years and about a 30% chance of saving America. We are going off of a cliff. We are going off the fiscal cliff and we're not coming, we're not going to come back for this. We have so much, we have so much debts that it's unsustainable. And if you don't start cutting the size of our bloated, wasteful executive branch, you're never going to get this under control. And you say this, Steve, Congress isn't going to do this. And that's the problem. Like we have to drain the swamp. But guess what? The reptiles are not going to drain the swamp. Why would the hell, why the hell would Congress?

[Steve Bannon]

And the budget is coming up. It's got no cut to the federal judiciary. At least haven't seen a Mike Davis, hang on for one second. Mike Davis joins us today from the hinterland. We've got a lot to get through in the next couple hours. A packed, packed news weekend. Short break, back in a moment.

[Conservative Commentator]

This July there is a global summit of BRICS nations in Rio de Janeiro. The block of emerging superpowers including China, Russia, India and Persia are meeting with the goal of displacing the United States dollar as the global currency. They're calling this the Rio Reset. As BRICS nations push forward with their plans, global demand for US dollars will decrease bringing down the value of the dollar in your savings. While this transition won't not happen overnight, but trust me, it's going to start in Rio. The Rio Reset in July marks a pivotal moment when BRICS objectives move decisively from a theoretical possibility towards inevitable reality.

[News Anchor]

Saying that a lot you know, we're going to be saying a lot. If they can do this to fill in the blank, they can do it to the rest of us. We need to gird ourselves to what is coming. Look, you've got Stephen Miller on the lawn of the White House, right, telling America, oh yeah, we're looking at ways to suspend habeas corpus. Right. That, you know, the supreme law of the land, the Constitution. Yeah. We can do what we want with it to violate what is very clear in the law and in the Constitution that they cannot do that the President just can't willy nilly suspend habeas corpus. I mean, think about in the middle of a frigging civil war, Abraham Lincoln caught a whole lot of hell for making, for attempting and in fact suspending habeas corpus and paid a price politically for that. So look, this is, there's no invasion here and they're using language to sort of dumb down the seriousness of what they're doing to us. And I think this moment, to your point, Simone, is a seminal moment in the changeover to the eradication of the rights of everyone. The migrants, Immigrants, those. That's just, that's just the sidebar. The real core is every one of us that are left. And I think we need to be mindful of that and be prepared to stand up against it.

[Steve Bannon]

Okay, we're gonna get into this, the habeas corpus and what happened with the Newark mayor. But Mike, just because we're hurtling towards a constitutional crisis on many fronts, I mean, what's going to happen here? They went to San Francisco because the casual observers like myself say, oh, they're going to get the appellate, in the most radical appellate court, the 9th. Right. And they'll get a stamp of approval. There's. And then this thing will go to the Supreme Court with a lot of backing. Your thoughts on timing, seriousness of this, what's going to happen at the 9th and when is this going to get to the Supreme Court and what is Roberts going to have to do?

[Mike Davis]

So fortunately, in President Trump's first term, there was like, I think it was like an 11 seat advantage on the 29 member 9th Circuit for Democrats. And I think President Trump got down to only a three seat advantage for Democrats and President Trump appointed rock solid constitutionalist to the ninth Circuit like Lawrence Van Dyke and Patrick Boomite and many, many others. And so I would say that, you know, the ninth Circuit is still leans Democrat, but it's not the judicial hellhole that it once was eight years ago. So that's Number one where I think this should go is the government's going to seek an emergency stay in the 9th Circuit of this whack job. San Francisco Democrat judges ruling. And then if the Ninth Circuit doesn't issue a stay of the temporary restraining order, this needs to go to the Supreme Court on the emergency docket. And I would say this again, I say this to the Chief Justice, John Roberts, who, who I like personally, I clerk, clerked for Justice Gorsuch. He's a good man personally, and I like him. But he is doing. If you could write a playbook on how to destroy the federal judiciary's legitimacy with the American people and therefore with Congress and therefore with affecting its jurisdiction and funding. I think John Roberts is running that playbook unintentionally, of course, because he thinks he's a masterful politician in a rope, but he's not. I mean, I can't think of anything more destructive to the judiciary than these dozens of Democrat activist judges around the country trying to sabotage the American people in their election of the President of the United States. This is a judicial coup. This is a judicial assault on American democracy that these Democrats pretend to protect. And it's going to. It's unacceptable. We are getting to the red line. When the President of the United States is getting an order like we saw in San Francisco, where he can't lay off federal workers, he can't reorganize executive branch agencies again. He's doing this within the parameters laid out in the statutes. He's allowed to do this. And to say that he can't do this, to say that, to say that you're going to put an order on the President that he can't do this, that you're not going to make these plaintiffs go through the regular channels like the Merit System Protection Board and the Court of Federal Claims and posting a Bond Under Rule 65C, that's mandatory. This is lawlessness. This is judicial activism. This is judicial sabotage. It's unacceptable. And if the courts are going to do this, I say this as someone who clerked on the Supreme Court, who clerked on an appellate court, who was the chief counsel for nominations on the Senate Judiciary Committee with the oversight portfolio of the federal judiciary. If this is what our judiciary stands for, is this sabotage, then we need to burn down the whole, the whole federal judiciary and start over. We need to, we need to start gutting these, these courts. We need to start eliminating these judgeships. We need to start playing hardball because this is unacceptable for these judges to sabotage the American people like this.

[Steve Bannon]

As his Article 2 power as commander in chief. In Newark, the mayor was arrested, but there was a major incident that led ICE to do this. Walk us through that. Now you've got brazen, just absolute brazen, you know, political. These radicals that are, that are contesting President Trump's actual powers as Commander in chief. Sir.

[Mike Davis]

Yeah. So the President campaigned on the facts. He's going to secure our border. He's going to deport illegal aliens, all of whom are criminals. Every single one of them are criminals under our federal criminal statutes. And President Trump's going to focus first on Trend. Aragua and Ms. 13 terrorist and gang bangers. Right. And the American people liked what they heard. They gave him a broad electoral mandate. 312 electoral votes, all seven swing states, the popular vote. This is like an 8020 issue, right? And the President is doing what he promised voters he would do. Cutting, waste, fraud and abuse and getting. And securing our border and getting these illegal aliens, violence, dangerous terrorists, the hell out of our country. And if you have these operatives, these Democrat politicians, trying to sabotage that, exposing these ICE operations, interfering in these ICE operations, this is a. These are very serious federal crimes. You're talking about obstruction, you're talking about conspiracy, you're talking about trespass, you're talking about assaults on federal officers. I promise you, knowing what I know about my friend Alina Haba, President Trump's U.S. attorney in New Jersey, she's. She's not going to turn a blind eye to this. She's going to prosecute these people, and she absolutely should. Whether it's the mayor who needs to be prosecuted under our federal laws, and also these members of Congress. Members of Congress generally have speech and debate immunity under our Constitution, where they can't be arrested for performing their official duties. But I don't think trespassing, obstructing federal law enforcement, assaulting federal officers, conspiring to do all this, I don't think that's part of your official duty. So I think the Trump Justice Department should move forward and indict these members of Congress as well.

[Steve Bannon]

We initiated this idea here in the war room with DC Drano. The. We've talked about it now for years, about President Lincoln, what President Lincoln had to do with his wartime powers in the Civil War. This is an invasion. In fact, it's a worse invasion than in the Civil War. There's 10 million illegal alien invaders in this country. President Trump, as Commander in Chief, has said he's going to remove them all, starting with the worst of the Worst your thoughts on. Because I know you've been very. Hey, we got to really think this through. Your thoughts on this whole. Given where we are, given where these political demonstrations by these politicians going to continue. Your, your thoughts on suspension of habeas corpus?

[Mike Davis]

Well, I would say this to the Chief justice and his, you know, Commanding General John Roberts and his six lieutenant generals who still have an unconstitutional illegal injunction on the President of the United States starting on Good Friday, where the President of the United States could not repel a foreign invasion of Trende Aragua and Ms. 13 that is the President's highest constitutional D as the commander in chief, let alone he has that power under the Alien Enemies Act. But the Supreme Court seems to think that they're generals now and they're going to tell the President he can't conduct military operations. I would say this. If these judges actually think that foreign terrorists who have invaded our country are entitled to years of court proceedings in due process to get them the hell out, then we need to suspend the writ of habeas corpus because this is an invasion. We've had Joe Biden working with these NGOs to let in over 10 million illegal aliens, including the most dangerous people in the Western hemisphere, trend and Ms. 13 and that's okay for these globalist elite because they don't have to deal with them. And they're wealthy enclaves. They want these illegal aliens to go rape, kidnap, torture, murder the lake and lake and rallies of the world. They want them in Aurora, Colorado. They don't want to have to deal with these illegal aliens, but they want the cheap labor. And so they, they, they, they want their serfs, their illegal alien serfs to over 10 million of them. And they don't care if that means we're letting in vicious murderers, rapists, robbers, terrorists from Trend Aragua. So if the courts are not going to allow the President of the United States, if the courts are going to say that these terrorists have habeas rights, which they don't, if that's what the courts are going to say, then the President has a constitutional duty to, to suspend the writ of habeas corpus and repel this invasion.

[Steve Bannon]

Mike, I know you got a bolt. Article 3. I'm going to have Mike back on Monday. We're going to talk about Ed Martin and Judge Jeanine. A lot going on there and the Article 3 project led the way on that. Mike, real quickly, this constitutional crisis is going to have to be solved, the Supreme Court or not. I say it's mid to late June is That a good time frame or do you think it'll take longer?

[Mike Davis]

Yeah, I think that's about right. Because these Supreme Court justices go on their two month siesta after. After the term ends in June. And so I imagine that they're going to. I think your timing. Spy spot on, Steve. And I would say to these justices, they need to wake the hell up. Right. I know that they are in their little cocoons right now and you know, the Chevy Chase country. They go between the Chevy Chase Country Club and then to the Supreme Court where their sycophants treat. Treat them like gods. But their decisions have real consequences right now. And you're going to learn about the legitimacy of the federal judiciary if they think that illegal aliens are staying in our country.

[Steve Bannon]

Where do they go for article three? Where they go to get your. Sir.

[Mike Davis]

Article3project.org article number three project.org you can donate there, but only what you could afford. Follow us on social media. There are two action items that we need to pursue right now. We need to impeach Judge Boasberg and we need to cut $2 billion out of the $10 billion federal judiciary's budget because the Supreme Court. Judge Ali. Piss it away.

[Steve Bannon]

Mike Davis. Love you. See you on Monday.

Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

[Steve Bannon]

Didn't get to the fact that they dropped at least 28 pages of the tax bill. Brad will join me in the second hour for that and Ben Hardwell in the second hour from, from the Vatican, from Rome. A lot to go over there as the New York Times the situation in Rome was 100% gun decked as we say in the Navy. Look at this. For a divided church, Pope Leo's first mass is an echo of Francis. Look at that front page of New York Times today. Just all over how great this is. This was completely and totally rigged. How, how was I the only guy that called this 10 days beforehand? I'm not that smart. It was pretty evident what was going on. And if you hear even more of the chatter, this was a guy that was totally unknown, had just been made a cardinal a couple years ago. They put him in charge the dicastery of selecting the archbishops. So we get to know people. But absolutely given the other stature of even the progressives and the moderates in the conservatives are really even the progressives and the moderates a essentially a nobody. Completely and totally rigged. Completely and totally rigged. This is as rigged or more so than the 2020 election and we're going to pay a price for it, trust me. So we're going to get more into that. Ed Martin and Judge Deneen In 2016, 2017, we offered Judge Deneen, the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York. That's Brooklyn. And since it covers Kennedy Airport, you may have seen this on films like is it Goodfellows? It controls everything goes on in Kennedy. I mean it is a major, it's probably, I don't know, the third or fourth most important. You've got Southern District of New York, you got D.C. you have maybe, maybe Los Angeles or Chicago and then Eastern District, maybe Eastern districts even higher that. But it's incredibly powerful. U.S. attorney Judge Jeanine, as people know, had cancer, was fighting cancer in the 16 campaign. She never missed an episode of her show on Saturday night while undergoing chemo. She is a hero, a patriot and a fighter like you cannot believe. If you know her, if you have the pleasure to know her personally, she is a fighter beyond all. I mean not just for Trump the country, but she's one of Trump's fiercest defenders. Did not miss an episode while going through chemo for cancer. In fact, she would keep a bucket on the thing. So because she was sick, she was sick. As you know, the people have chemo, are ill, nauseous because of the brutality of the regimen to get you better. That's what type of hero she is. Never missed a show. She is a warrior. She will be absolutely amazing as the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia. And she will hit this place like a flamethrower, like it needs to be hit. But we should have never given up on Ed Martin. We are undefeated when it comes to confirmations. If they put the confirmation through, Gates would have gotten confirmed. Ed Martin would have gotten confirmed. Now Ed's going over for a great job over in Main justice, this weaponization task force and head of pardons, which is very important. You know, Peter Navarro, myself and Jared and others are working very closely with the Bureau of Prison guys to make sure the major reforms are with the Bureau of Prisons. So having Ed over on the pardon side is brilliant. To have him on the. Heading up the working group on weaponization is fantastic because I know they're so overwhelmed over there, what they're doing, that this can only help. But Judge Jeanine in this position is perfect. But we are sending the wrong signal to the Tillises of the world. And now they came up with five other names or six other names. Fine, put their names up.

[News Anchor]

Roll.

[Steve Bannon]

We've gone through this before. That's how Hexis there. That's how Tulsi's there. Right. That's how Bobby Kennedy's there. That's how Cash is there. They were all controversial there or we're not going to get confirmed. So, and about Cash. Look, I love. I love me some Cash Patel. I'm not ecstatic when I see a budget committee hearing and we're talking about the Trump administration wants to cut, I think, $500 million from the. From the FBI's budget and cash wants to add a billion dollars or something. The budget. This FBI should be cut. The FBI should be cut in half. Like this week. Cut in half this week. We are burning. And this is why, Jean, I think Judge. And he's going to be great. We're burning and having. Editing Justice. However, we still need a special counsel on this, The Tom Fitton idea. Still need it because we're burning daylight. You see what they're doing now with these judges we're going to have before their term ends and they go on their, you know, July, August, September vacation because they come back in the first, I think the first Tuesday in October before they take the summer off. We're going to have to sort this mess out. We're hurtling towards a constitutional crisis. I mean, we have a constitutional crisis right now. We're hurtling towards a. Was it denim? Wa to get the solution here. Because these judges, we now have judicial supremacy. That's not in the Constitution. The founders of the nation would have never done that. They talked about the Supreme Court in the. In the Constitution, but didn't get it in any specific details. That was all done later when they set up the federal judiciary, which was quite controversial in the first decades of the founding of the republic. And yes, they have judicial review, but now we have judicial supremacy and judicial sabotage. This thing last night. These radical Democrats are smart about where they go. They know this. This is why taking on the law firms is so important. This is why taking on the Ivy League school schools is so important. This is why breaking these institutions is so important to us now. And it must continue. And we cannot flinch. If we flinch, we lose. If we flinch, then everything in 2024 is. Is just given away. So Mike will come back. We'll talk more on. So Ed Martin to Main Justice. He's going to start right away, and I'm. We're tracking very closely. When they arrest that individual that spit on him, sure to be tried on felonies like immediately shot to be booked and not let you know, no bond. Somebody as crude as that's going to come up to somebody that's a public servant sitting right there giving an interview over at Newsmax and spit on him. The only way to stop this is to stop it. And we cannot flinch and we cannot be weak. You saw the stunt they pulled in Newark. They're going to be more of that. They're going to be more of that. They think it's working, so it's going to be more of it. You got to shut it down. You have to shut it down now, and you have to shut it down hard. The two congressmen should be thrown in. They should have been in jail last night. That's not the debate clause. They're violating federal laws. If you're going to obstruct ICE officers doing their job in these deportations. Remember, folks, we haven't gotten to the hard deportations yet. These are the easy ones. These are the obvious criminals. These are the obvious people that have to leave the country immediately. The mass deportations of 10 million, which all have to happen or you don't have a country. Because if you don't do it now, it will come back. First off, these people will be in the country and it will come back. Taj Gill, you got some dude on a day like today. The night over the news overnight was overwhelming.

Tage guilt.

[Steve Bannon]

Love you, brother. Get back to, get back to what makes him, what makes America great. It's fantastic. That's why I love these Saturday morning shows. Just great. We're talking about tac. We got so much to go through President Trump. I mean, what an overnight piece, getting at least a stand down in Pakistan and then India, that thing on the line of control. I'm telling you, folks, that's a tinderbox, though. Imagine that. That whole arc of instability could light up President Trump getting it done again on a Friday night, early Saturday morning. Short commercial break. We're going to be back in the war room on a Saturday. Just a moment.

[Conservative Commentator]

What if he had the brightest mind in the war room, delivering critical financial research every month? Steve Bannon here. War room listeners know Jim Rickards. I love this guy. He's our wise man. A former CIA, Pentagon and White House advisor with an unmatched grasp of geopolitics and capital markets. Jim predicted Trump's electoral College victory exactly 312 to 226, down to the actual number itself. Now he's issuing a dire warning about April 11, a moment that could define Trump's presidency and your financial future. His latest book, MoneyGPT, exposes how AI is setting the stage for financial chaos. Bank runs at lightning speeds, algorithm driven crashes and even threats to national security. Right now, War room members get a free copy of MoneyGPT when they sign up for Strategic Intelligence. This is Jim's flagship financial newsletter, Strategic Intelligence. I read it.

[Mike Davis]

Here's your host, Stephen K. Band.

[Steve Bannon]

You know, report out of and we had the head of Bloomberg here, the author of the book Saliha Motion for a full hour paper soldiers. Remember, about a week ago she was not as concerned by the scale of the, of what the market for dollars is in the world. But then there's a, a report out of Bloomberg this morning by one of her colleagues that and by the way, she's one of the smartest reporters in this, in this imperial capital, particularly covering economics. She said, yeah, people are coming after it. But it's still the basics of the world's system where President Trump, the post war international rules based order. President Trump is trying to massively structure that because the trade deals, we were upside down on every commercial relationship and trade deal, he's trying to rewire that at the same time really confront the economic warfare the Chinese Communist Party has been engaged against the United States in. One of the foundations of this is going to be the US Dollar as the prime reserve currency. Now obviously it's currently the prime reserve currency and will be for a while. There are tremendous benefits of being the prime reserve currency. One of the benefits is you can, you know, your finance your debt out of this because people have to essentially buy it because they need dollars. And you're not like Argentina or not like the UK When Liz Truss got turfed out because they don't need to take pounds. So the bond market is much more control of you. But there's reports at Asia that leading up to the Rio reset that countries in Asia right now are thinking through and these are even countries that are going to sign up on these trade deals with us of ways they can get away from the total control that Washington has over economic warfare, sanctions, all of that and also the drop in the purchasing power of the dollar. So this is ongoing. This is why we're making such a big effort about the Rio Reset. And you saw I'm just telling you, they couldn't have been cozier. They were like teen, they were like teenagers on a first date. If you saw she and Putin giggling and laughing and looking at the parades and talking to some of the old veterans, somebody said Richard Stingle said, well, you know, the world condemns Russia. I said, condemned. He says, the G20. I said, dude, they had Lula, the Brazil and Xi of China. They had two of the biggest, biggest nations in the G20 and two of the the two biggest outside of India in the bricks sitting up on their stage with him. That's why Birchcore, we did the the latest free installment is the Rio Reset. Make sure you get up to speed on it. Birchgold.com Bannon to get it, study it. Because here's what's going to happen if you think about it. I talk about the convergence of, of these crises and remember the three crisis, the three things that President Trump had top of his page was number one, stopping the kinetic part of the Third World War. And he's getting ready next week to go to the Middle East, Riyadh, the uae, Qatar, to talk about investments and other types of maybe expanding the Abraham Accords, but essentially trying to tap down this war in Gaza for metastasizing. And the situation with the Houthis, which supposedly we have some sort of interim agreement with us, so they're not going to be shelling our two carrier battle groups anymore. But the Rio reset is important, is going to come at the same time as the end of June. It's going to come on the 6th of July, right at the time when the Supreme Court's going to have to make some decisions here about the president, United States and the office of the presidency. It's got to happen. We can't delay this anymore. They're going to try to delay to the end of their term. The term ends the last day of June. So that's going to get sorted at the same time they're meeting in, in Rio and with they're not going to shift off the $$ immediately, but they're looking for all these mechanisms that they can begin to shift away. We have to have a national conversation of do we want to be the prime reserve currency? Is it worth the responsibilities and the obligations? And the lords of easy money are going to have to jump in here and we're going to have to have a debate. This is why right now they just released the 28 pages. I'm trying to go through it because there's not a lot of substance there. But look, here's just, let me just cut to the chase. We'd like to just make it basic without all the people running around with their hair on fire. We have the federal spending's out of control and the political class cannot cut it. They were hoping, this is why they were rubbing up on Elon. They hoped Elon came in here with the magic wand and gave him a trillion dollars of fraud. That didn't happen. As we told you, it wasn't going to happen. So now we're here with having, now we're in reality and the cuts are not there. The 163 billion are not even a beginning of what has to happen. And you hear the, you hear the going over the top on this because you haven't touched defense. And you're going to have to do something smart, not take a meat axe to Medicaid. If you look at the making the taxes, the tax cuts permanent for the middle and working class, not just extend the 2017, but make sure we never have to address it again. You're going to have to find some money. I'm telling you now, they haven't put out the revenue side or any sign because I'm telling you right now with what they're talking about as cuts. And don't give me the 10 year. I don't want to hear about a 10 year. Do not want to hear about 10 year. It doesn't matter. I want to hear about this coming fiscal year 26. Right now it's a two and a half trillion dollar deficit, not 25. 25 is going to be a 2 trillion over a 2 trillion dollar deficit. And Scott Bessant just told us, oh, by the way, when he's getting on the plane to Switzerland, hey, I've done the calculation now and we hit the debt ceiling. I don't know, let's say August. Well, the big beautiful bill ain't going to be done by August, not the way they're going now. So you got the debt ceiling and we're going to see what they're going to ask for in a relief of debt ceiling. This audience is going to have to do a gut check because it's going to be upon your shoulders to try to sort all this out because I will tell you, we've done a great job of changing the electorate in the Republican Party. That's where President Trump had the massive victory that people gravitate to him as a leader in his positions. As a populist nationalist. But we haven't changed the elected officials. You haven't changed the formal Republican party. They're still here with this insane Republican orthodoxy that's not sustainable. If it's sustainable, I'm all in. Show me how sustainable it's not. So we're hurtling towards a financial crisis. You've got the Connecticut part of the third World War war which is expanding now to Pakistan and India. And you've got this, you've got this judicial revolt on top of guess what? The urgency we need to deconstruct the administrative state and destroy the deep state. All next in the war room.

Are you a yo yo dieter? You diet, lose weight, but gain it all back, plus a few extra pounds for the effort. Then later you lose it again and regain it again. And on and on and on. I think I resemble this. It's dangerous. Studies show that you can increase your risk of heart attack, stroke, type 2 diabetes and other health problems. Breaking free of your yo yo diet pattern is a main reason doctors created Lean. Lean is a supplement, not an injection. And you don't need a prescription. The science behind Lean is impressive. It studied natural ingredients target weight loss in three powerful ways. Lean helps maintain healthy blood sugar, it helps control appetite and cravings. And it helps burn fat by converting fat into energy. Listen, if you're tired of losing weight and gaining it back, if you want to lose meaningful weight at a healthy pace, Lean was created for you.

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. 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.
