1. Senate Advances the "Beautiful Bill"

The episode opens with John Thune detailing the Senate's narrow advancement of the controversial "Beautiful Bill." After extended negotiations, including Vice President J.D. Vance and significant efforts by former President Donald J. Trump, the bill passed with a 51-49 vote. Notably, two Republicans, Senator Thom Tillis and Rand Paul, joined all Democrats in opposing the legislation. (00:00)

2. Congressional Budget Office (CBO) Analysis

Thune highlights the CBO's recent report, which projects the bill would increase the national debt by $3.3 trillion over the next decade and result in over 11 million Americans losing health insurance by 2034. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer criticized Republicans for allegedly manipulating financial data to facilitate the bill's passage. (01:04)

3. Republican Internal Opposition

Rand Paul voiced strong opposition, emphasizing that the bill betrays promises made by Trump to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse in government programs. He criticized the inclusion of the provider tax and the broader implications for healthcare. (01:37)

4. Negotiations and Vote-O-Rama Process

Mike Johnson discussed the complexities of the upcoming Vote-O-Rama, noting that the Senate cannot afford to lose more than three Republican votes. He expressed concerns over substantial Medicaid cuts and other provisions that have caused dissent among moderate Republicans. Chuck Schumer echoed the need for continued efforts to halt the bill, labeling it a "primal scream of a dying regime." (02:38 - 05:16)

5. AI Amnesty Controversy

A significant portion of the discussion centers on the proposed AI amnesty within the bill, which grants ten years of immunity to major tech companies like Google and Meta. Stephen K. Bannon vehemently opposes this provision, arguing it allows these companies to exploit creative content and censor conservative voices without repercussions. He calls for Josh Hawley to remove the AI amnesty to protect creators, children, and conservative values. (36:45 - 37:52)

6. Legislative Procedures and Challenges

Bannon explains the intricacies of passing a budget in Congress, emphasizing the role of the parliamentarian and the Byrd Rule in determining which provisions can pass with a simple majority. He criticizes the current parliamentarian's decisions, suggesting they favor tech monopolies over public interest. (23:50 - 26:49)

7. Political Campaigns and Impact

The episode features Mike Davis introducing his campaign for the U.S. Senate in Kentucky, positioning himself against long-standing Senator Mitch McConnell. Davis emphasizes his background as a businessman and a garbage man, advocating for genuine representation and opposition to entrenched political interests. (16:28 - 21:37)

8. Critique of Big Tech and National Security

Bannon underscores the detrimental relationship between big tech companies and national security, citing examples like Project Maven and Project Dragonfly. He accuses these companies of aiding China's CCP by providing censorship and undermining U.S. interests, arguing that the AI amnesty further empowers them at the expense of American values and safety. (37:52 - 39:14)

9. Calls to Action and Engagement

Throughout the episode, Bannon urges listeners to take immediate action against the AI amnesty by contacting their senators and participating in grassroots efforts. He promotes Article3project.org as a platform for donations and advocacy, emphasizing the urgency of opposing provisions that threaten creators and national security. (42:19 - 43:06)

10. Conclusion and Future Outlook

The episode concludes with a reflection on the legislative battles ahead, particularly the critical role of the Vote-O-Rama in shaping the bill's final form. Chuck Schumer warns of ongoing political gamesmanship, while Bannon remains steadfast in rallying support to protect American interests against both internal and external threats. The interplay between legislative maneuvers and upcoming political campaigns sets the stage for continued conflict and advocacy in Washington. (43:10 - End)

Transcript

[John Thune]

Late on Saturday, the Republican led Senate advanced the package following a dramatic drawn out process that spanned hours, bringing it one step closer to passage. It narrowly advanced after Majority Leader John Thune and Vice President J.D. vance struck a deal with the holdouts. Trump also stayed in Washington over the weekend to engage in the whip effort, calling senators and hosting meetings. Ultimately, the vote was 5149 with two Republicans, Senator Thom Tillis, who you heard earlier, and Rand Paul joining all the Democrats in opposition. Yesterday, the non partisan Congressional Budget Office published its analysis of the bill, saying it would increase the national debt by $3.3 trillion over the next 10 years. It's also projected that the proposed legislation would lead to more than 11 million people losing their health insurance by the year 2034. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer spoke on the Senate floor on Sunday, accusing Republicans of falsifying the math to get the bill the finish line.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

This piece of legislation is corrupt. This piece of legislation is crooked. This piece of legislation is a rotten racket. This place feels to me today like a crime scene. Get some of that yellow tape and.

[Chuck Schumer]

Put it around this chamber.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

The midnight transfer of wealth in this.

[Rand Paul]

Bill is disgusting on health care and betraying a promise. It is inescapable that this bill in its current form will betray the very promise that Donald J. Trump made in the Oval Office or in the Cabinet Room when I was there with Finance where he said we can go after waste, fraud and abuse on any programs. Now those amateurs that are advising him, not Dr. Oz, I'm talking about White House health care experts, refuse to tell him that those instructions that were to eliminate waste, fraud and abuse all of a sudden eliminates a government program that's called the provider tax. We have morphed a legal construct that admittedly has been abused and should be eliminated into waste, fraud and abuse.

[Chuck Schumer]

There's still a lot of work that needs to be done in the Senate.

[Mike Johnson]

They can only afford to lose three Republican votes. And then there's still all the work that would need to happen in the House as that they would also need to clear conservatives, moderate Republicans all across the spectrum to try to get this bill passed by that July 4 deadline.

[Chuck Schumer]

That the President has said in deciding.

[Eric Schuller]

Whether to vote for the big, not so beautiful bill. I've asked a very specific question. Will the deficit be more or less next year? The answer, without question, is this bill will grow the deficit. The federal government has fancy formulas and hundreds of wonky accountants who inform us of their projections over 10 years. But you often can't trust these projections. In an excellent piece written by the foundation for Economics and education entitled the CBO's projections are worse Than Useless, Eric Schuller writes, long term analysis and language is commonplace in US national politics, but it achieves no useful outcome. It confuses far more than it clarifies, it does not provide accurate estimates of long term results, it does not improve the average voter's understanding of policy effects, and it gives politicians a means to claim they are being fiscally responsible without actually ever exercising any prudence whatsoever.

[J.D. Vance]

Because I do sometimes wonder, and I say this with all humility, none of.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Us owns the truth.

[J.D. Vance]

But if I'm honest, there are days when I have to ask people of my faith tradition as a Christian, are we reading the same book? The book I know says I was hungry and you fed me, I was sick, I was in prison and you visited me, I was a stranger and you welcomed me. Inasmuch as you've done it to the least of these, you've done it also unto me. The book that I love says, learn to do good, seek justice, rescue the oppressed, defend the orphan, plead for the widow, speak out for those who cannot speak for the rights of the destitute, speak out, judge, righteously, defend the rights of the poor, the needy. My book says, whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord and will be repaid in full.

[Mike Johnson]

The earliest the House could vote on this bill is Wednesday morning. So that gives you a sense of how long they expect the Senate to take to finish things up and then when they're gonna get started in the House. But I have to tell you, if you return on Wednesday and the deadline is Friday, that's not leaving Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House, a lot of time to work through this mountain of issues he is about to face. I did a lot of report reporting on this over the weekend, speaking to a number of Republican lawmakers and their concerns across the conference. From moderates to hardline conservatives, moderates are really concerned about the level of spending cuts in the bill, particularly when it comes to Medicaid. The Senate's version of this bill has steeper cuts to Medicaid compared to the House's version. A number of them are staking opposition. By my count, at least six moderate Republicans say they are not supportive of this bill. The main reason is those Medicaid cuts, but there's also some concerns about the state and local tax deduction cap and there's also some concerns about the Rollb of green energy tax credits. Now that's just one end of the politically, ideologically politically diverse conference. On the other end you have these hardline conservatives, people like Congressman Chip Roy, Republican from Texas, who's been railing against this bill on social media all over the weekend, complaining that some aspects of it were watered down from the House's bill. So Johnson is taking fire from all sides if this does get out of the Senate, which is still not confirmed at this moment because there are still a lot of changes that likely need to happen during voterama to build that coalition. If this bill makes it to the House, Mike Johnson's gonna have a tough time pushing it through because of this wide array of concerns.

[Chuck Schumer]

This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people.

[Charlie Kirk]

I got a free shot. All these networks lying about the people.

[Chuck Schumer]

The people had a belly full of it.

[Charlie Kirk]

I know you don't like hearing that.

[Chuck Schumer]

I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but.

[Charlie Kirk]

You'Re not going to stop it.

[Chuck Schumer]

It's going to happen.

[Nate Morris]

And where do people like that go.

[Chuck Schumer]

To share the big lie? MAGA media I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. Ask yourself what is my task and.

[Charlie Kirk]

What is my purpose?

[Chuck Schumer]

If that answer is to save my.

[Charlie Kirk]

Country, this country will be saved.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

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

[Chuck Schumer]

It's Monday the 30th of June, year of our Lord 2025, last day of June about to begin the the month in which our country was formed. July 4th is going to be on Friday. Now the President's got a lot planned for that but man, a good old fashioned fight in the in the U.S. senate. They were anticipating they could actually vote do the voterama over the weekend and get to the vote today. That's pushed at least to Wednesday. One of the reasons is that there are things slipping in and out of the bill it appears all the time now the voter rama we're streaming that Grace and Mo have that up on the one of our other streaming sites to make sure if you want to dip into that anything exciting happens, we'll pull it out. But I'll pull it up to the main site. The you saw all the even beginning of the speeches over the weekend and there's this question of are they cutting too much in certain areas that will affect not just the country but the Trump voters on the other hand have they cut enough and we have the deficits. All I know is that the cbo forecasts over 10 years I think are meaningless. But the administration has really come back. They've put out something, but they're not, I don't think, being forceful enough of putting forward their program of growth. President Trump just put out a true social last night that said, hey, look, it basically implies not cutting as much as he would like. He's a guy that wants to cut, but he says we got to get it through and we're going to grow our way out of here. I think that they've got Secretary Treasury Besant and head of the National Economic Council over at the White House. Hassett, have to come forward and have to start putting out because this bill, the Senate bill, has a $5 trillion increase to the debt ceiling that slid in, in just a couple of paragraphs. The house has got $4 trillion in that. And to me, that's the asset test. I look at these deficits, unless somebody can show me Otherwise, they're $2 trillion every, every year. Now, we may be growing our way out of there, but I think they got to give some backup on that. So people, people have it. Mike Davis joins us. Mike, after a huge Friday, and we're trying to get Josh Hammer up in the second hour, if we can track him down. Huge. Just Friday was for the Trump agenda, absolutely massive at the Supreme Court. But now we're back into the legislative side. First, just give me your summary of Friday as you've thought about it over the weekend, and how important it is, particularly as President Trump goes forth. Because this bill, one of the reasons Trump wants to get this bill done is he needs money to actually do the mass deportations, what Biden set up and the system they set up and taking apart ICE and the ability to have any logistics that can, that can assist the mass deportations. That's what's in this bill is together. That's one of the reasons President Trump says it's got to be done. Now, your sense of what Friday meant for us as a country and as a movement going forward to really take on this judicial insurrection, which is President Trump's executive power. I mean, until this bill's passed, or if it even is passed, because that's still a open question right now. President Trump's got his executive powers. Your thoughts?

[Stephen K. Bannon]

The Supreme Court's rulings on Friday confirm what we've been talking about on your show for four years, Steve, and that is President Trump's biggest and most consequential accomplishment of his first term was the transformation of the left of center court to the six to three constitutionalist courts. These justices may disappoint us from time to time like they did on Good Friday when they made up due process rights for Trend Aragua and MS.13. But I think they got the message and we saw that on Friday with a whole series of six to three rulings earlier in the term, the Supreme Court ruled six to three that states, yes, states have the police power to regulate transgender surgeries on kids. We didn't fight a civil war. So can confused kids. Mentally disturbed kids can get mutilated. The Supreme Court also ruled on Friday, 6 to 3 that under a federal statute from 250 years ago, along with Article 3 of the Constitution, these 800 district court judges around the country do not have individual nationwide veto, nationwide injunctions over the president. They, they have Article 3 power which is decided to decide cases and controversies of the parties properly before the court with redressible claims. Nothing more, nothing less. Another six to three ruling parents in these public schools, the public school monopoly, the government school monopoly can opt out when these whack jobs are trying to groom these kids with LGBT indoctrination. I don't think most Trump supporters give a damn what, what consenting adults do in their private lives. But when you start going after the kids with transgender surgeries and grooming books and pedophiles and, and libraries, that's where I think it's the red line for most normal Americans. You have age verification 6 to 3 that these porn sites can require age verification to make sure you're not peddling porn to kids. It was a very good term and it showed that the Supreme Court is on the side of Team America as opposed to the three Democrat women justices who think there's a constitutional right to murder and mutilate kids and then feed them porn.

[Chuck Schumer]

Mike, can you hang on for a minute? I want to get to, I want to get to the big beautiful bill. A lot of issues, things are being slid in and out. The swamp's trying to do its best.

[Nate Morris]

You guys have not had a voice in Kentucky politics for so long. You guys have kind of been ignored. You guys have been cast aside and together we can send a message that will be sent around the country. You in the grassroots of this state can say enough. I'm tired of this false choice. We want to crush the uniparty. We want to end the McConnell mafia and we're going to send a message to the rest of the country with that. I want to introduce my friend Nate Morris, the next senator from the great state of Kentucky.

[Mike Davis]

Charlie. Charlie, I want to thank you for that incredible introduction. Let's welcome Charlie one more time to the Bluegrass State. We're so honored. Charlie knows how to fight, doesn't he? And he fights for us when a lot of people don't want to speak up. And I'm here today because I'm running for the United States Senate. And it wasn't something that I thought I was going to do. And about a year ago, I get a phone call from another hillbilly, J.D. vance, and he says to me, he said, Nate, you know, McConnell, he's got to go and maybe you should look at that seat, at running for that seat. Would you be interested in doing that? And I said, you know, J.D. i said, I hadn't really thought about it. I'm a business guy. I'm not a politician. I've never run for office before. Brad I make my living in garbage. I am a garbage man and I am a proud garbage man. And by the way, I think the people that do the jobs that nobody else wants to do, those are the people that we got to celebrate in this country. So JD And I have this conversation. I don't really think think much about it. I just bought a company and I was going to run that company and I started seeing the people that were looking at the race and I said to myself, first off, we've had a terrible time with Mitch. It's been shameful. It's been shameful because he's let us down over and over again and he has sabotaged President Trump every chance he's had. And the will of the people here in the Bluegrass State, we gave him a 30 point margin. Think about that. And Mitch has the nerve to go to Washington and vote against you and vote against your interest, your vote and what you want to see with President Trump. And I started looking at the people that were going to get in this race. And I was appalled because I thought to myself, these guys, they're nothing but puppets for Mitch McConnell. And Mitch McConnell has been in the seat since 1985. That's when he was sworn in. Think about that.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

That's before I was born.

[Mike Davis]

That's before you were born, Charlie.

[Nate Morris]

Eight years before I.

[Mike Davis]

Eight years. Now, now let's think about this. This is before the Internet, right?

[Chuck Schumer]

We're going to dip in. That's our own. That's real America's Voice. Okay, guys, I'll take it back. Thank you very much. That's our own Charlie Kirk right there. Real America's Voice. Charlie Kirk did a morning Q and A with with the the guy that's going to upset Mitch McConnell's guy. Hand picked guy's Andy Barr. That's Nate we had him on Saturday, if you remember that incredible commercial. Maybe I'll play that ad later. So, Mike Davis, the reason I want to tee up with that, that's actually live happening in Kentucky right now is people should understand what we're still dealing with in the Senate. The Senate is still an institution. The Republican Senate. And what we have today is still, even with all of President Trump's work, is still very much molded in the image and likeness of Mitch McConnell, is it not, sir?

[Stephen K. Bannon]

It is. I mean, the Senate is the swamp within the swamp. It is the most swampy place on the planet. I was in the Senate as the chief counsel for nominations for the first two years of Trump's first term. I didn't really get along with the swamp ways, so I broke every piece of China in the Senate to confirm a record number of President Trump's judges in his first two years. So I don't think there, there is a hall of fame in the Senate with Mike Davis in that hall of fame.

[Chuck Schumer]

And in that regard, if Mitch McConnell's to be known, and I've said this on, on, on the show forever, if he's been known for anything positive, it is the fact that his priority was judges. And in that regard, he really worked with President Trump. I mean, he was terrible about getting President Trump's confirmed on the first term. His guys confirmed into these spots in the government because he doesn't like maga, he doesn't like Trump. But on the judges where we came together, I mean, you saw, as tough as that was, you actually saw the best of it, did you not?

[Stephen K. Bannon]

I went into the trenches with then Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on the Kavanaugh confirmation in particular, and on the lower court judges. I was then Chairman Chuck and now Chairman Chuck Grassley's chief counsel for nominations. I adore Chuck Grassley. I came to greatly respect Mitch McConnel McConnell on judges, because I worked with them on judges. And I'll tell you, if we didn't have Trump, McConnell and Grassley, there is no way in hell we would have these six to three rulings that we're seeing last Friday.

[Chuck Schumer]

And as we sit here today, I want to talk. Let's talk about the process, because the swamp still reigns supreme as much as President Trump's trying to take it. And this is, we're seeing this in the vote. A rama. Right? And this, people, this is why you're going to have to be on guard for the next 72 hours. And even when it goes over to the House because there's A lot changing and shifting at every time, we know, and particularly the AI part of this, which is so important for so many different reasons. But it also is symbolic in the fact that it shows you what the swamp can do in just sliding in 940 pages, just a half a page, right? That can change literally the American economy and change how MAGA has an opportunity to benefit from. From the prosperity of that and also continue to get free information. So talk to me about the process because explain to people what this vote a Rama is, what it means, how you always have to be on watch, how the lobbyists in the swamp are going to every time be slotting things in or coming back with phony compromises nonstop, sir.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

So in order to pass a budget, it has to pass both the House and the Senate. The resolutions in both the House and the Senate have to be identical word for word, and then it goes to the president for his signature. Veto the House. You can pass a budget with a simple majority vote. In the Senate, it requires 60 votes to pass almost all legislation, except for under the Congressional Budget act of 1974, you can pass budget resolutions with a simple majority vote. But there are very strict rules on those budget resolutions when you go through reconciliation with the House. And so in order to pass with a simple majority in the Senate, like the House, it has to go through the Byrd rule. I think it was from, like, 1985, from Senator Bob Bird from West Virginia, the legendary leader of the Senate and really the chief parliamentarian of the Senate for many years, the unofficial parliamentarian, I should say. He was the Senate majority leader, but knew more about Senate procedures than anyone ever, probably. And so for these budget. For these budget provisions to get through the Senate on a simple majority vote, they have to go through the Bird rule. They call it the bird bath. And essentially the parliamentarian of the Senate will decide. Looking at the rules of the Senate, the standing rules of the Senate, precedent parliamentarian rules, whether these provisions. It's essentially whether these provisions increase or decrease revenue. And if they increase or decrease revenue, they can generally get through the birdbath and they can be voted on with a simple majority vote. But if they can't, if they can't get through, if they're not, if they're extraneous to the budget resolution, how the parliamentarian determines that, then it doesn't get through the bird bath, and it requires 60 votes, which is very hard to do. So this birdbath is really, really important. It determines whether you're going to get provisions through. Like, for example, Cutting off Medicaid to illegal aliens. I don't know how that would not pass the birdbath, but that's for the parliamentarian to decide. She's apparently the God of the Senate and no one can question or the Pope maybe. She's infallible and no one can question her apparently. But then there are other provisions like for example, this AI bill where they're giving 10 years of amnesty to these trillion dollar big tech companies like Meta and Google so they can run AI and harm kids and harm conservatives with censorship and harm content creators. And apparently that somehow got through the birdbath where it can pass with the simple majority.

[Chuck Schumer]

Hang on. Because I want to spend more time on that. And also the parliamentarians been taking a lot of shots. And what blows my mind is she's appointed by Harry Reid, the most partisan dealmaker in the, in maybe in the history of the United States Senate when he was majority leader. She has not been replaced. She's taken a lot of shots. But when we get back, I want to ask Mike Davis if in fact maybe too much blame's getting put on her as the swamp tries to do their business. Mike Davis, by the way, this shows you how important today is with the Votorama in particular, the AI bill. Mike Davis was going to go and do something very important today at one of the department, cabinet departments, but he's waved off of that to make sure that the posse is fully informed of what's going on. I want to thank Mike. Mike Davis going to hang around. Nate Morris, the Garbage man is with Charlie Kirk live in Canada, Kentucky at a, at a Q and A and A rally to kick off his campaign. I think it shows a lot about what MAGA thinks of, of the, of the trash man, take out the trash or Mitch McConnell. Charlie Kirk is kicking off that, kicking off that race. Birch Gold this Sunday is going to be the Rio reset. We're sending a whole team down there to understand what the bricks are trying to do.

Build out further for people that are like, okay, tell me more. Nate, what about you? What are you going to do? What are your policy agenda? What is your kind of call to action in D.C. well, first off, career.

[Mike Davis]

Politicians have driven our country off a cliff. The people that make their living in politics, this is not what our founders designed our system to be. You know, our founders were farmers, entrepreneurs. They taught school. They had real jobs. Both these guys, Charlie, they've never had a real job. They've never had to meet a payroll. And they've been living off of your tax dollars to make their living. And, you know, that's fine for some people. But if you want to serve at the highest levels, I think you need to do something first. I think you need to prove that you can make money. I think you need to prove you can employ people. I think you need to prove that you understand the challenges of what people are going through right now.

[Nate Morris]

One second. Let's just keep talking. This is not a town hall. Okay.

[Chuck Schumer]

Thank you.

[Mike Davis]

Keep going. And look, I'm here because I want to serve. And you know, I grew up single mother, public schools. I had to fight for everything that I have, just like everybody here in this room. Nobody gave me anything. And I want to go to Washington and fight for you because I see the window of the American dream closing and the dream that I got to live through, picking up garbage. I see that window closing for a lot of Americans and I see people hurting and I see people discouraged. And we almost Lost our country under Joe Biden. Yeah, we almost lost our country. Thank God for President Trump.

[Chuck Schumer]

Thank God the window is closing there. Right there is Nate Morris. The the garbage man is going to take out the trash of Senate Kentucky politics of Mitch McConnell and his followers, Mike Davis and Mike, the audience already I'm getting my flown phone blown up by people. Appreciate that. You see Mike, Mike, you bring Mike Davis in the Viceroy. The way I first met the viceroy in the first term is the viceroy would be the guy that would run a murder board. And a murder board is where you really put a confirmation candidate through the grind. And we were doing at that time, we were doing Gorsuch. I was on the committee that selected Gorsuch and during Gorsuch, but there was others and I would go in and slip in down at the place that we had in transition then afterwards to kind of watch these in the back and see some professionals. And Mike Davis is a savage. He would peel the bark off people to let them know, hey, you got to be ready for the second, third, fourth, you know, in depth answer when they come at you. And so, Mike, you were going to do a murder board today, but you believe it's so important what's happening in the Senate and particularly in this AI provision that you're actually going to be out throughout the day so that you can have access to the Senate floor, Correct?

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Yeah. I would say this. One of my good friends Russ votes, for whatever reason he didn't invite, he disinvited me from his second murder board. So maybe ask Russ if he couldn't take the heat from. From the Viceroy. I'm not sure. But anyway, yes, so I.

[Chuck Schumer]

Hold it, hold it. I remember that. But Russell, Russell was ready to go even after just your first participation in the first murder board, sir?

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Yes. So I would say this. I skipped a Pentagon murder board today because what's happening in the Senate today is so crucially important. These trillion dollar big tech monopolists, particularly Google and Meta, definitely no friend of President Trump and MAGA are trying to cut a deal where they're getting 10 years of amnesty so they can steal people's creative content, they can harm kids, they can censor conservatives, they want to be able to get away with this. And like they did with Section 230 immunity, like they did with antitrust amnesty, the reason that Google, Amazon, Facebook and Apple has market power like they do, that they have gatekeeping power over information and commerce is because we gave them a deadly combination of Section 230 immunity and antitrust Amnesty starting under President Obama. So why the hell are Republicans going to do this again with AI amnesty? We're going to give AI companies 5 years or 10 years of amnesty so they can, so they can steal everyone's creative content for their AI machines and make a lot of money. They can harm kids. Let me give you an example of what is coming out. These AI chats are telling kids that they should kill their family members and commit suicide. And kids are actually doing this. And these AI platforms like Google and Meta want to have amnesty. So there's no recourse for these family members whose kids kill themselves or kill other family members. There's no recourse under this five year or ten year amnesty that these, that these Senate Republicans want to give to these, to these trillion dollar big tech companies, there's no recourse. If these trillion dollar big tech companies want to steal content, for example, steal Steve Bannon's content from the war room every day for their AI machines, they want to say that that's fair use under our copyright laws. They say that that's how we have to compete against China. We have to steal like China to compete against China. We have to have slave labor like China to compete against China. These are the big tech platforms, like Meta, for example, that spent $400 million chasing President Trump out of office in 2020 and subjected him to four years of unrelenting republic ending lawfare where they tried to bankrupt him for nod fraud. They tried to throw him in prison for life four times for nine crimes. They tried to throw him off the ballots unconstitutionally. Trump's opponents tried to take off his head when they underfunded his Secret Service and said to put a bullseye on him from Joe Biden. Twice they tried to kill him. And now we're going to reward these big tech companies with amnesty so they can, they can target creators, they can target kids, they can target conservatives with their censorship. Why the hell are we doing this? Have we not learned our lessons from the last 20 years?

[Chuck Schumer]

Okay, two things. Number one, what they're telling President Trump and what they're. When you talk to these guys up in the Senate and all the consultants up there, they're saying, hey Bannon, you know, you and the War on Posse are all about taking down the ccp and you're about you back allowed Beijing and you guys are the first to identify China and the CCP as the existential threat, not just to the Chinese people, not just the American people, but to the whole world. And if you let rubes in Missouri and Tennessee and Kentucky and Idaho and Montana and Michigan in bib overalls, actually be able to control the advance of artificial intelligence when there's already been a Sputnik moment and we're trying to catch up to the Chinese Communist Party. You're putting national security, you're putting the fate of the nation in the world in jeopardy because you guys are whining a little bit about they're going to take President Trump's the Art of the Deal or one of Steve Bannon's great classic documentary films and use it for free to make sure that the machine learning, that the machine learns faster. Your response, sir.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

That's nonsense. These, these tech monopolists, especially Google and Meta, do China's bidding every day. Let me give you an example. Project Maven, you had Google cut off American's drone program. Google was working with American intel on a drone program called Project Maven. And Google cut that off and left the American military and intel agencies high and dry. Because Google's a monopolist. Right? And so they had to. The our American military and intel agencies had to scramble to make up for Google pulling out of America's drone program under Project Maven. At the same time, what is Google doing? Project Dragonfly, where Google is doing the CCP censorship program. So Google will not do Project Maven for America, but it will censor for the CCP under Project Dragonfly. These are not pro America companies. These are CCP companies and they have demonstrated that over and over and over again and again. Should we all work for free? Should we all be slaves? Are we going to be like Uyghur slaves like China have so we can compete against China? Are we going to steal every copyright in America? Okay, so these trillion dollar.

[Chuck Schumer]

So let me go to the second part. Hang on. Let me go to the second part. Because because of Mike Davis and Joe Allen and the other folks we had on here and Josh Hawley in the war room posse and making calls, it's just been announced Axios is breaking that Marsha Blackburn that's been on our side of this issue and Ted Cruz, who is not on our side of the issue and doing the bidding of, of big, big Tech have come to a compromise of only five years. Mike, it's five years. They cut the baby in half. Is that acceptable? Isn't it? In the first five years they will. So they'll get all their dirty work done. The other five, that the whole 10 year was just a misdirection playing the beginning because they just want the first couple of years, after 3, 4, 5, they'll actually have this locked in and everybody be locked out. So the five is not really, it's a compromise just been announced. That's what they want everybody to agree to. But is that good enough?

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Well, here's the deal. The Compromise goes from 10 years to five years and it adds protections for content creators and kids. But the problem is then there is a semi truck size loophole in this bill where it talks about if these states try to protect kids, if these states try to protect content creators and this, the language they use is undue burden or disproportionate burden. If the states create a disproportionate burden on these AI, on these AI big tech monopolists like Meta and Google when they're ripping off, when, when Google and Meta are ripping off people's creative content for their AI or where they're harming kids, if that creates a disproportionate burden on Google and Metta, then this, then the states can't do anything about it. That's unacceptable language in this compromise. That language has to come out. There should be no giveaway to, to these, to these AI platforms. If you need government, if you need to be a government sponsored monopoly and coddled like this in order to compete, then you're in the wrong line of business. Do they think this is like npr, that they're running, that they, they have to have a government sponsored monopoly in order to compete against China? It's, it's complete nonsense. But if they're going to have a compromise here, you need to have it where you, you can protect content creators, kids and conservatives from censorship.

[Chuck Schumer]

Mike, you're going to be up on social media all day long putting up observations of what's going on over in the Senate.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

I am and I would say this, I would encourage Josh Hawley to step forward and do a motion to strip out this AI amnesty completely from the big beautiful bill. This AI amnesty is bad for creators, it's bad for kids, it's bad for conservatives, it's bad for America. Now is the time for Josh Hawley to be bold and fearless and step up and strip this, this AI amnesty out of this bill.

[Chuck Schumer]

Mike, where do people go to to keep up to date with you during the day? This is another big day today and tomorrow big days for the posse.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Article3project.org Article number 3project.org you can donate Follow us on social media the key today we need the posse on that top left button there on the action center we need you to contact both of your home state senators today, Democrat and Republican. I don't care if you're in a deep red state or a deep blue state. We need the posse to activate right now and tell them to oppose AI amnesty. We have patch through phone calls, we have social media, we have pre drafted emails. So please, this is a crucial action item. Go do it today. Ask your friends and family members to do the same.

[Chuck Schumer]

Mike Davis, thank you so much brother.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Appreciate it. Thank you.

[Chuck Schumer]

I'll be back on the afternoon show. A lot going on today. We're going to be putting up other aspects of this too that you ought to be aware of. At least aware of the big beautiful bill and right now I think questionable. They got 30 or 40 people in the house that are raised in hell. We'll see as this proceeds throughout the day. Remember with $5 trillion increase to the debt ceiling, they're going to need every possible penny they can get as far as revenue goes, tariffs. Right now I think we're going to add $400 billion. On the plus side, short commercial break.

[Mike Davis]

And it's good versus evil for all of us in our day to day life. I mean we're competing with what's on the phone, we're competing with all the nonsense that we're getting out of Washington, all the stuff that we're seeing from big corporations that are trying to get us to do all this crazy stuff, this woke stuff. And it is good versus evil. And I'm proud of my faith. I'm proud that I accepted Christ and I'm proud that I'm gonna be that same person that takes my faith into the office and with everything I do. And you know, I think the other thing is we know what's right, you know what's the right thing to do and you know President Trump, I mean, how much did he talk about common sense on the campaign trail? You know, you scratch your head and you look at some of the stuff that the Democrats do and you say that doesn't make any sense. And let me tell you, when you're picking up trash, you gotta use common sense. You gotta be on time, you gotta throw it in the right place. You gotta make sure people are getting what they need. This is common sense stuff. And I think we also need people that use good judgment and common sense and do the next right thing. We know what the right thing is to do. I think everybody does. And the Democrats and some Republicans have perverted what good looks like and they put us on a path that we can't even recognize. I mean, Charlie, I think the biggest applause you got was men and women's sports. I mean, did you ever think, would we ever think 10 years ago we would be having a conversation about, you know, the big guy that swims for.

[Nate Morris]

Pennsylvania, Riley Gaines is from this great state?

[Mike Davis]

Yeah, that's right.

[Nate Morris]

University of Kentucky.

[Mike Davis]

And it's absolutely crazy that we're even having this conversation today in America. It's ludicrous. So look, I think, Charlie, I'm very fortunate that I'm grounded in faith and I pray about every big decision. Everything that I did before I went on here, I said a prayer before I came up.

[Chuck Schumer]

That's Nate, Nate Morris there with a Q and A by Charlie Kickoff his, the great Charlie Kirk to kick off his campaign. The reason I want to juxtapose that I want to juxtapose Nate and what they're talking about out in Kentucky because last night was announced Tillis is not going to run for reelection. About what you're going to see over the next couple of days in Kentucky, Washington, for as hard as you fought and for even for President Trump's beliefs, the games are going to be played and hopefully we're going to cover it and give you insight so you can make your calls. The games are going to be played, are going to shock you. Like getting the in the parliamentarian. Don't get me wrong, the parliamentarian is, I think bad news. Now they tell us the more you criticize her in right wing media, the more she digs her heels. And well, first of all, the question is how the hell do we have a Harry Reid appointee as parliamentary? That should tell you everything you want to know about what a fixed deal it is, right? About how the Republican Party has only been controlled opposition and Fox has just controlled opposition. How now on the last day of June in the year of our Lord 2025, with all these monumental issues facing us and having won an incredible victory. And it's even bigger if you look at the Pew analysis that they always do six months after it that we'll get to over the next couple days. The victory is even bigger when you see all the demographic shifts that President Trump had. How are we in this situation on this bill. And it's always game playing like you think Planned Parenthood is going to be defunded. Then you see they only want to do for one year. They they the illegal aliens to put get them off Medicaid, which is absurd. How they're even on Medicaid, how that gets taken up. But then they blame it on the parliamentarian. Look, she's bad news. She's got to be by definition, she's Harry Reid's person and has not been replaced all through McConnell's time and now even in John Thune's time was not replaced immediately. But they're also in the game playing that's going on. Don't think that they're not hiding behind her on a lot of this. And that's why over the next couple of days and already you have people in the House that are on fire about some of these cuts are going on or not cuts are going on and games are being played. So the big beautiful bill, at least another day or two and it's going to be pretty intense. We're going to up on the streaming site Grayson, Mo. We have it nonstop. I really love the commentary from over the weekend that people saw would have to happen even to get it to the floor. Right. Which was a whole the bill stayed open, I think for two and a half or three hours. The vice president, JD had to come up now. His vote wasn't needed, but he had to come up kind of with the backing of the Vice with a message kind of from the president to Thune saying if we got to make some deals here and compromise, we got to get this thing actually into the process. If we don't get into the process, that'll be a monumental defeat. So that this is highly, highly contested. I just go back to the fact that you got to be very careful on the cuts that you're making against working people. But you've got to take the meat ax when it comes to corporate America. It can't be any more of this crony capitalism. The thing is replete with that. And you look at this AI Bill and Joe Allen's going to get up here as much as Meta and, and Google, who are two demons and President Trump's Justice Department and FTC have him in federal court to start to break them up. Right now Palantir is I think really the villain in this, in, in the, in the AI and Palantir is all kinds of questions about Palantir. Supposedly now it's gone maga, right? From, from being guys that were founded by, by liberal Democrats, progressive Democrats. Once again, it's one of these things that's gone totally, totally maga. But the we'll have to get into that with, with Joe Allen because all these guys had this amazing transformation to become maga. But then you see what they want to do the surveillance system, what is this surveillance system they're working on? Why, what is this AI? Why they need a 10 year moratorium, why a 5 year compromise? Is the Chinese Communist Party really ahead of us or is that using that as a crutch, right, to support it? We're going to get into all that also, Ben Berkwam, we're going to be back at the border. We're going to be talking about ICE tomorrow. President Trump's taking a trip. Our own Brian Glenn is going to be with him. He's going to go down to the Alligator Alcatraz for a tour. President Trump's going to be there. We're going to be there with him. Two things. Number one, if you've seen a $5 trillion lift to the debt ceiling, understand they're going to need every penny they can get in revenue. Like I said, $400 billion is coming in on terror surprise for everybody there except for the war room posse who understood this from the beginning. But the IRS is going to want their money.
