Deep State Plotting a Recession

Jeffrey Tucker's Analysis Jeffrey Tucker delves into the alarming projections from the Atlanta Fed regarding a potential recession labeled as "stagflation," combining inflation with a recession. He argues that these economic forecasts are part of a deliberate narrative designed to instigate mass panic and blame President Trump for economic woes.

"From the economic point of view... they're going to claim that the recession is here, inflation's worse than ever. This is all Trump's fault." (02:37)

Tucker contends that despite indicators suggesting economic downturn since 2022, mainstream media have either downplayed or misrepresented these signs, often highlighting misleading positive metrics like job numbers. He warns that even if economic conditions improve, the media will continue to distort the narrative to favor their agenda against Trump.

---

Media Manipulation and Public Perception Steve Bannon discusses the broader implications of this economic narrative, emphasizing the potential impact not just domestically but also on the global standing of the U.S. dollar. He underscores the critical view that the media and deep state interests aim to undermine Trump's administration through economic destabilization.

Soros and the Supreme Court Takeover

Paula Scanlon on Wisconsin Supreme Court Race Paula Scanlon highlights the strategic importance of the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, asserting that George Soros is heavily funding efforts to secure a favorable majority. She warns that a Soros-controlled Supreme Court could lead to redistricting detrimental to Republican interests, potentially causing long-term electoral disadvantages.

"If they win, if they win the Supreme Court, they can go in and redistrict Wisconsin and we can never win Wisconsin again." (17:56)

Scanlon urges listeners to actively participate in voting, especially in key races like Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Virginia, to counteract Soros' influence and safeguard Republican footholds.

Impeaching Radical Judges

Congressman Andy Ogles on Judicial Impeachment Congressman Andy Ogles outlines his initiative to impeach judges deemed overly activist and biased against the Trump administration. He identifies specific judges whose decisions, such as those involving taxpayer spending and transgender policies, he believes constitute high crimes and misdemeanors.

"Their opinion at the bench should be based off of the Constitution and the law, not off of politics." (41:45)

Ogles explains his legislative efforts, including the Preventing Epstein Document Obliteration (PETO) Act, aimed at ensuring transparency and accountability within the judiciary. He emphasizes the need to restore the judiciary's allegiance to the U.S. Constitution and remove perceived foreign influences.

---

Budget Reconciliation and Debt Ceiling Ogles provides an update on the budget reconciliation process, noting that while the House has passed a budget aligned with conservative principles, it now awaits Senate approval. He highlights the strategic importance of tackling the debt ceiling to prevent Democratic leverage over fiscal policies.

"We've kicked it over to the Senate... we're in a good place. It's better than the alternatives of had the Freedom Caucus not stuck." (47:54)

---

Reaction to Trump-Zelensky Meeting

Analysis of the Oval Office Encounter The podcast features a critical analysis of the meeting between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Both Jeffrey Tucker and Steve Bannon express disdain for Zelensky, characterizing him as a symbol of broader systemic issues orchestrated by globalist elites. They argue that Zelensky's demeanor and demands reflect a fraught relationship and highlight vulnerabilities within the U.S. political framework.

"This was so bad for Zelensky... I'm not sure about this, but I think there's a sense that Americans don't... understand the lag between policies and their effects." (05:35)

Bannon further critiques the influence of globalist agendas, suggesting that figures like Zelensky represent agendas that undermine American sovereignty and fiscal responsibility.

---

Closing Remarks and Future Outlook The episode concludes with Bannon highlighting the ongoing struggle against deep state influences and the importance of grassroots activism. He promotes upcoming discussions with Congressman Andy Ogles on legislative efforts to combat judicial overreach and reinforce conservative governance.

Transcript

[Donald Trump]

This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. Christians, I got a free shot. All these networks lying about the people. The people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.

[Steve Bannon]

And where do people like that go to share the big lie? MAGA MEDIA I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

[Donald Trump]

Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my.

[Jeffrey Tucker]

Country, this country will be saved. War Room here's your host, Stephen K. Ban.

[Steve Bannon]

You're in the War room. It's Friday, February 28th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Such an explosive news day. Usually we don't struggle all that much putting our cold opens together. But I think every single minute from today's meeting, or I guess I should say smackdown, metaphorically, of the money laundering, corrupt grift puppet known as Volodymyr Zelensky, who shouldn't have even been anywhere proximal to the White House alone, the Oval Office. I don't even know what clips to play. So we're going to get into everything. Ukraine, I know Steve just spent the prior hour getting into walking through that meeting. And don't worry, we certainly will. I will not deprive you of a rant, but we have Jeffrey Tucker joining us to hit us with some I think equally important news. You know, right now the term is constitutional crisis. Constitutional crisis. Though I, I would say I predict that you're going to see democracy, a lot of democracy talk get loaded into, I guess the projector that the legacy media wants to deceive and lie to the American people about. But there's some really concerning numbers coming out of, I believe, the Atlanta Fed talking about potential. Well, I guess the legacy media wants to call it a Trump crash or something along those lines. That'd be perfect to bring Jeffrey Tucker on to walk us through these numbers. You're more fiscally minded than I am. Jeffrey, thank you so much for joining us. Now, the audience always appreciates when you come on. I'd love if you could walk us through these projections if you think there's any merit to them and more importantly, how you think they could be weaponized against President Donald J. Trump.

[Jeffrey Tucker]

It's one of many threats he faces and they're coming from every angle. But from the economic point of view. What they've, what they're, what they've planned is the announcement of a Trump recession, or we're starting to see the word stagflation. So inflation plus recession, that's what they've got plan for us. And, and we're going to see a decline in output in the first quarter of this year, according to the Atlanta Fed. And then the next quarter will be another decline and the official, the recession will be officially declared by the fall. They're going to be trying to generate mass panic and blame everything on Trump and his policies and spending cuts and, and so on. So this is what's happening and it's frustrating because of course, I, you know, we've been seeing this unfold now for years. For years now. We've been in recession like conditions, but we've never been told. All the headlines have been about the great jobs numbers, about how inflation is cooling, about the Biden economy working so brilliantly, you know, that you've been watching it, and we've been taking them apart month by month, showing that none of these numbers make any sense. And we came out with a study in October trying to give the heads up, and the study documents this, that we've been in recession since 2022, but it's just been unannounced, you see. And in fact, in 2022, we had two successive declining quarters of, of a real GDP, and that is a recession. But the national media said, oh, that's not a recession, that's only just what it looks like, a recession. Not really recession, because look at the strong jobs numbers. Well, the job were never strong and those jobs numbers are now being revised now. And so what's happening, so what's going on? Even if the economy starts to grow and even if output expands and even if we're going to see some more investment and inflation cools, it's not going to be told us to us that way. It's going to be quite the reverse. They're going to claim that the recession is here, inflation's worse than ever. This is all Trump's fault. You've got to act, you've got to do something about it. You can see how the press is going to generate a kind of national frenzy, all targeted at Trump himself. Now, my argument isn't that we're in great shape. We're not. I mean, things have been in bad shape for a number of years now, partially because of Biden's policies, which never really took us out of the problem that emerged from the COVID Lockdowns, in fact, made them much worse. The point is that it's all gonn be dumped on Trump's head as a matter of optics and public manipulation and propaganda. And we just need to prepare for that.

[Steve Bannon]

And to that point, Jeffrey, I'm curious because a lot of times these narratives, right, that the legacy press hypes up, obviously the American people don't always fall for them, or in the case of the whole constitutional crisis, fear mongering, it's so not rooted in anything substantive that I think it's easy for people to overlook it. But this does seem to be like an interesting narrative. In other words, the ramifications are repercussions, not just domestically in terms of all things finance and just fiscal and deficit and stuff like that, but also internationally, the dollar on the world stage. What do you think, say they run with this narrative? What do you think the potential threats down the line would look like or would shape up to be?

[Jeffrey Tucker]

Well, this is my concern. I think what they're trying to do is panic Trump administration into stopping the cuts and the bureaucracy, stop the, the tax cuts to, to stop rolling back the deep state, you know, to panic them into, you know, you know, lower interest rates, increased spending, that sort of thing. You know, Natalie, my worry about this is that these numbers that are coming out from the BLS and the Commerce Department, they meant, you know, I think they've been manipulated for years. Like I've, I've lost any real trust in these numbers. They just haven't made any sense. The problem is that they're the only numbers we have. They're the numbers that Wall street thinks are, thinks that everybody else thinks are credible. Right. Even if they're not. And I think also here's the other problem. When you have the national media screaming the economy is in terrible shape, that's going to tap into some sense that people have that. Yeah, that's kind of true. I mean, my real income's down. Things are not going well for me personally. I was better off five years ago than I am right now. So they're going to be looking for somebody to blame. And then you've got Trump in office, right? I mean, he is the president and unfortunately, the expectations, I'm not sure about this, but I think there's a sense that Americans don't. Maybe there isn't a good enough public understanding of the lag between policies and their effects. Like a lot of the things that Trump is doing right now are economically are going to rebuild a lot of this country. Very bullish. Long term, but short term, there could be a lot of pain. And unfortunately, that's going to be dumped on Trump's head. And it's scary. And this is just one of many, many threats that are, that are facing Trump from sort of deep state media allied interest groups that are trying to prevent this change from happening and to ensure that the Trump administration is a failure. That's, of course, the goal. You know that.

[Steve Bannon]

Of course. I have, I guess, a front row seat to the attempts to sabotage President Trump and his administration before we pivot. I guess speaking of that to Ukraine, I'm just curious to your thoughts on how the sort of Doge interplay, right, these massive cuts in fire terminations of federal workers. I think today we've already started seeing some numbers in terms of, like unemployment spiking here in Washington, D.C. that having already significant impacts on the economy, not just here in the Beltway, but across the country writ large. I'm curious, first of all, how you think that whole Doge sort of, you know, deconstructing the administrative state is being rolled out. But more importantly, if you could see that sort of ironically or I guess, paradoxically be used against President Trump in terms of the fiscal messaging.

[Jeffrey Tucker]

I don't know what I would do if somebody gave me the job. Okay, here's 2.4 million administrative state employees backed by, with a global welfare state. Take it apart. I'm not sure how I would do that. So I think, given everything, I think Doge is doing a very good job. One of the things, Natalie, that emerged over the last several weeks is the single most startling thing I've heard in my life, in my career consciousness. After they entered the US Treasury's payment portals, after Doge entered there, there was a panicked article in the New York Times written by five former Secretaries of the Treasury. And what they said in that article is that no elected official or outside appointee has had access to the payment portals of the federal government in 80 years. Okay? Now, keep in mind, they're complaining about this. They're saying this is the exclusive preserve the holiest of holies that's only been accessed by a small team of career civil servants since 1946. It turns out it really goes back all the way to 1939. We've not really had any outside experts or outside appointees in that position. And there's this job called the Fiscal Assistant Secretary of State that has belonged to only 15 people since 1939. And Doge just fired the existing guy who had been there 35 years and put in somebody from the outside. But. But even given that a federal judge has restricted their access. Right. So that's sort of where we are. I'm waiting to find out. And, you know, you can. I asked Grok how much money has been spent by the federal government since 1939. In real terms, it's over $200 trillion. So $200 trillion has come and gone from the federal government without any kind of property standards of auditing. Any elected official really having a clear, verifiable industry standard way of tracing the money. They already found $4.7 trillion was leaving the treasury without being properly tagged as to his congressional authorization. This is what. This is the scale of what we're dealing with here. And if it makes you wonder, like, have dark thoughts about what's really been going on, I think that's probably correct. And so Doge is. Is just at the beginning of discovery in some of this.

[Steve Bannon]

I don't know what is going to be a more concerning audit, that of the treasury or Fort Knox and the gold or Ukraine. I think we'll probably find equally concerning results from both of them. God willing, they both happen. Jeffrey, before we let you go, I just wanted to give you a few minutes. I know you really have tracked even from, I think, you know, the Brownstone Institute, which is something that this AUD really respects. You guys are certainly not the war room. We're not too good to check. You guys come at it from a very academic and intellectual perspective. But I think you guys sort of shared our analysis of this war from the get go. I think it only sort of metastasized in terms of the corruption or at least how transparent it became to the American people. But just a few minutes on what we saw transpire in the Oval Office today. I think sort of confirming what this show has been saying for years.

[Jeffrey Tucker]

Yeah. So, Natalie, I think today was an epically important day in American history. And the reason for that is that since all the way since the Great War, Since World War I, American diplomacy has always been clouded behind mystery and strangeness. There's been a kind of a religious aura around it. Magic people in dark rooms doing strange, amazing tricks. And then they go in public and say, oh, our nations are working together. Oh, we have this great relationship. Even we've not really seen behind the curtain. It's never seemed like human before before today. Today the curtain was pulled back and we saw the reality, Right? You know, an entitled mentality. Give me my money. You know, screw you. I mean, the names are flying at each other. You saw frustration, anger, lots of normal things that people have in their real lives and their families and their community. I mean, these are. What we saw today was really without precedent in the history of modern statecraft. And I think it goes along with what's happening in our world right now, which is really exciting. The loss of trust basically in everything is leading to an unraveling of this sort of managerial, administrative state where the curtain's being pulled back, statecraft is being humanized, and we're getting a front row seat to what's really going on in the world, how these people really are and their attitudes they have. And I watching that exchange today, it just, it made me angry, actually, when Trump said, we've given you $350 billion. What have you done with it? And how about a thanks and how about wearing a suit? You know, I mean, it was outrageous. But I think everybody should be deeply, deeply excited and grateful for having a front row seat to what's really going on. The mystery is just fading away and we're seeing the realities, and they're ugly, they're terrible. And I'm glad that at least we have a president willing to be transparent about this and show us what's really going on and be a good guardian of American tax dollars and American interests. So I thought that was a thrilling.

[Steve Bannon]

Thing to watch and very clear why they fought so hard to keep new media out and have been so, I think, hostile and aggressive to the presence of people like myself, Brian Glenn, and all these other new outlets. Maybe we got to get you a press pass, too, while we're at it. Jeffrey Tucker. Yeah, I won't demean you like that. I won't make you suffer through what I have to go through every day dealing with those depraved people.

[Jeffrey Tucker]

I can't imagine. Natalie, I didn't realize we're all learning all these things every day. Right. But I didn't realize until this week the role of the White House Correspondents association and the monopoly they held on access to White House reporting. And how long have they held that monopoly? Since 1914. Did you know?

[Steve Bannon]

Absolutely wild. That's way too long. One year too long. Jeffrey Tucker, we've got to bounce. We got more news to get to in the meantime. Obviously, we love everything you're doing on X on Brownstone. Where can people go to follow you and stay up to date with everything you're working on?

[Jeffrey Tucker]

Like a lot of people, I can't help but post on X most days and I write every day for the Epoch Times and about once a week for Brownstone Institute, which is my true love. But thank you. Thank you. I appreciate very much being on, of course.

[Steve Bannon]

Thank you, sir, for coming on. We'll have you back on soon. Probably not for the second Trump Zelensky meeting, because there probably won't be one. We're going to pivot a little bit to something that is probably more applicable, especially to those of you who live in Wisconsin. We wanted to bring on, I believe you're the New Jersey coordinator for Early Vote Action. Our audience is, of course, extremely familiar with Scott Pressler. You sort of work with him, work for him. You're his boots on the ground. People may also know, Paula Scanlon, you were one of the brave swimmers who fought this transgender madness, which I guess recently brought home a huge win with President Trump's executive order. I think I saw you at the White House that day. I think this is your war room debut. So welcome. We're honored to have you. But there's some really concerning developments going on with the Wisconsin Supreme Court. A race going on there, of course, George Soros, as usual, pouring in a ton of resources, a ton of funds to try to sort of interfere with that election. I guess we'll be euphemistic. But can you sort of walk the audience through what's at stake there, what's going on? And then on the other side of it, we'll get into what our audience can do to help you and Scott Presser's group out?

[Paula Scanlon]

Absolutely. I mean, there's races going around on around this country that we have to pay attention to. And unfortunately, after winning the White House in November, people are so excited about that. But there's so much work to be done across these states. And what's going on in Wisconsin is, of course, Soros, as to be expected, is pushing money in because they want that Supreme Court. And if they win, if they win the Supreme Court, they can go in and redistrict Wisconsin and we can never win Wisconsin again. We can lose these congressional seats. And so that is really why it is so important that we win this Supreme Court in Wisconsin. We have to. And that's really what it comes down to. And it's just so bad that we have to be on the offense against these big bad actors like Soros. And he's done awful things to this country, and so we can't let him win. So my biggest message, I mean, there's really not much more to it, is if you're in Wisconsin, if you know someone in Wisconsin, I know it doesn't seem like it's an important year, but you have to go out and vote on the Supreme Court race. We have this guy, Brad Schummel running. He is the candidate you need to vote for. And we have to take this. We have to win. We can't let Soros and his big money win, and we can't allow them to redistrict Wisconsin and prevent us from losing other House seats and also losing other lower level seats as well.

[Steve Bannon]

Democrats are obviously super desperate since they lost essentially all levers of institutional and governmental power right in the last election. We've been tracking how they've sort of been outsourcing elements of the resistance, particularly to states where they have either super majorities. I think Politico was just reporting yesterday that every day at 4pm Eastern, every I think of the 23 Democratic state attorneys general, they all meet on some zoom call to try to plot and plan the resistance. And I think elections like these speak to that sort of resistance force against President Trump. You alluded to, you were saying that there's similar races going on across, you know, state by state, similar kind of dark money groups pouring and piling in. Can you sort of give our audience, maybe us, kind of sweeping overview, two of other elections that they need to be on the lookout for, or even election integrity issues where we kind of stand on that front? I know you guys are certainly on the front lines of fighting that good fight. Yeah.

[Paula Scanlon]

Well, Pennsylvania, obviously our favorite state that we've worked on with Scott Pressler. They also have a Supreme Court race, and that one is equally important. We're also working, and personally, this is something I work a lot on, is the New Jersey governor's race. There's also a governor's race in Virginia this year. I mean, there was just election after election, year after year. And I think the thing that we all forget and what I'm starting to see, people, is we are so excited riding that wave off of winning so big in November. Right. We won the presidency, we won the House, we had the majority, we won the popular vote, all of these different things. But this is not the time to let up. And I'm seeing people that I go out into the streets in New Jersey and other places when we're working with these Republican voter groups and they say things like, well, we just won in November. What do we have to do? What do you mean? I have to go vote again? You have to make sure you're getting out and voting in these off years and then bringing into next year is going to be the midterms already, which are obviously very important. We've had previous midterms where we haven't done so well on the Republican side, and we don't want to repeat that. So it's really about continuing to stay vigilant and stay voting. So our big thing, we're looking at the New Jersey governor's race. If anyone watching is in New Jersey, please go and vote. You can vote early, you can get it done. Make sure you go and vote. Same thing with Wisconsin, same thing with Pennsylvania. We have to win those Supreme Court seats. I mean, if you're in Virginia, also vote for a Republican governor. I mean, there's elections every single year. And everyone who's watching make sure you vote. Not just in the presidential years and the midterms, but also in the off years. And that's really what we're trying to work on and encourage people to continue.

[Steve Bannon]

To do and beyond voting. You know, we have a very engaged, grassroots audience. They love Scott. They love everything that he's. He's done. What can they do if they want to get involved with Early Vote action, regardless of what state they live in, but especially Wisconsin, the Supreme Court there is a really important race. What can they do to help you out there?

[Paula Scanlon]

Absolutely. We're always looking for volunteers. Early Vote Action.com. get on there. There are people who can go on and you can send, you can give us a donation. You can help send text messages. People were writing cards during the last election cycle. I mean, we take volunteers as well. Reach out to me, reach out to Scott. I mean, we need all the help we can get. This is the type of thing does not just get done by the big names. It is the grassroots people that get these things across the finish line. And that is really why we won Pennsylvania. It was the desire of the people in the state to do that. So if you are in one of these states where there's a race going on, you need to be active, you need to want to be involved and you will help accomplish this. And that's really what is so valuable about all of this, is it's not, again, a couple of big name people or really famous people, it is the grassroot people that get this done. So if you are watching this and you are just a local, everyday person voting, you can have an impact and you can help win these elections.

[Steve Bannon]

Paula, thank you so much for joining us. If people want to follow you, stay up to date with everything you're working on, not just the early vote action stuff. Where can they go to do that?

[Paula Scanlon]

Yeah, I'm pretty active on X. Follow me at Paula Wise Scanlon. Actually, tomorrow I will be there in New Jersey. If anyone watching is in New Jersey and wants to go to the gun for hire gun range, Scott and I will be there tomorrow registering voters, talking to the people and just really being boots on the ground there. And so I will see a lot of you guys out on the road in many of these states. And I appreciate you, Natalie, for the time and giving us this opportunity to talk. And I'm sure we'll have more updates in the future.

[Steve Bannon]

Of course. Thank you so much for joining us. Have a good one and sounds fun. I hope the Warren Posse shows up tomorrow.

[Paula Scanlon]

It definitely will be.

[Steve Bannon]

Have a good one. Warren Posse. You got to make sure you're checking out birchgold.com bannon or texting Bannon to 989898 I feel like we're getting very technologically advanced here in the war room. But I guess the basics, the principles still stay the same like they do in the End of the Dollar Empire across all the installments. But certainly the latest one, you got to make sure you're getting your copy of that. And of course, while you're at it, home title lock.com with promo code Steve25 Yes, I got that right. You get, if you could imagine, 25% off. You got to be in the fight, you got to be showing up to the gun ranges. You got to be watching the epic Zelensky press conferen in the Oval Office. You don't want to be dealing with scammers from who knows where. I guess all the H1B people who hopefully will be out of their jobs. They might just need to come and steal your home title. So don't let them. Hometitlelock.com prom code steve25 I think we're going to be joined in the second half of the show by Congressman Andy Ogles, who's been really waging, shall we say, lawfare, the good kind, against all these activist judges. I guess they're not even judges, they're activists masquerading as judges from state by state by state. Every single executive order that President Trump has put out, whether it's on the DEI stuff, the immigration stuff, the refugee admissions caps, the federal firings, the federal hirings, there always seems to be some activist judge, nine times out of 10, an Obama appointee who's ready, sitting there sitting pretty or I guess sitting probably rather ugly and dysgenic, waiting to Strike it down like they always do. And unlike the old relic Republicans of the past who are content with putting out strongly worded letters and tough tweets, we've actually seen a crop of Republicans put out at least the text to start impeaching some of these very, very radical judges. And of course the Democrats are in meltdown over it because why wouldn't they be? However, if you look, I'm old enough to remember, and I'm sure you are too, it was just about a year ago, maybe a little longer, that I believe AOC actually introduced impeachment articles. I believe it was against Justice Alito and Justice Thomas on MSNBC did the whole narrative spin about how we can impeach judges. So I think if you can impeach Supreme Court justices, then you can most definitely impeach actually radical, actually activist, actually heavily connected conflict of interested out judges. And I'm not just talking about the spouses being on the USAID dole or the fact that these judges like the one I caught myself being on record criticizing and attacking President Trump as a tyrant and admitting to being radical DEI loony leftists. But that is the threat that we are up against. And I believe, like I said, Congressman Ogles is going to join us to walk through his legislation and I'm sure some commentary on all things Zelensky Trump. But in the meantime, we're about to jump to break. If you go check out birchgold.com Bannon or like I said, text Bannon to 989-898 you can read the latest installment of the End of the Dollar Empire. How's that for some late weekend reading? Maybe while you watch the Zelensky presser? We'll be right back after the short.

[Jeffrey Tucker]

America's Heart.

[Steve Bannon]

Go on.

[Donald Trump]

Have you seen the news from economists forecasting a depression? I'm not talking recession. I mean depression. By the year 2030, we're in a perfect storm as Social Security and Medicare hit a breaking point with the largest generation hitting retirement. A smaller workforce means a smaller tax base.

[Steve Bannon]

Can I ask?

[Donald Trump]

No, no. You've done a lot of talking. Your country is in big trouble. I know you're not winning. You're not winning this.

[Steve Bannon]

I.

[Donald Trump]

You have a damn good chance of coming out okay because of us, Mr. President, we are staying in our country, staying strong. From the very beginning of the war, we've been alone and we are thankful. I said thanks. You haven't been alone in this cabinet. We gave you three said stupid president, $350 billion. We gave you military equipment, and you.

[Jeffrey Tucker]

Men are brave, but they had to use our military.

[Donald Trump]

What about if you didn't have our military equipment? You invited, you didn't have our military equipment. This war would have been over in two weeks.

[Steve Bannon]

Yeah. I don't think I'll ever get tired of watching that clip. And I think it's because it encapsulates the anger and resentment and dare I say, lust for retribution against not just Zelensky. Right. He's a representation, a symptom of a much broader and more systemic problem. Right. I sort of think of him akin to these World Economic Forum puppets that they've boasted about embedding and infiltrating cabinets across the world. Right. People who represent a broader agenda and they're too dumb or narcissistic or maybe gaslit by Karl Rove and his merry band of idiots at the hey Adams Hotel. Not being specific with any of my examples, but people like him and what you just witnessed today, that is a paradigm shifting moment in American politics and frankly, in American history. And I know for so long President Trump has always been described as a transformational president because he has reoriented the political spectrum.

[Paula Scanlon]

Right.

[Steve Bannon]

It's not just Democrats and Republicans. It's the Elites versus everyone else. But I think what we've seen on full display today is that it's actually just the people who love this country and think that America first shouldn't be some radical policy proposition that should just be the way of the frickin world. Because we're all American citizens, those of us who came here legally. And it's that sect of people against people like Adam Schiff and these warmongering neocons who despite, despite Zelensky being so disrespectful to President Donald J. Trump, who. Yes, I'm sorry, Adam Schiff is your president and he won the popular vote at that. So take that. Still feel the need to put out aggressively hostile tweets dunking on President Trump on the world stage saying that it's actually. And we can toss him on screen. Zelensky, who's the leader of the free world and that he's the hero and that President Trump was the villain during that meeting. That coming from a sitting member of the United States Senate. Now, look, I know we throw the word treason and traitor around a lot, but if you're publicly bragging and boasting for the leader of, dare I say, a hostile foreign country to prevail and be successful over the President of the United States of America, well, then I just think that you're probably deserving not just of the moniker Shifty Schiff, but of something much worse because that's quite treasonous. That thing that you see right there on screen, right. All those people who wave the Ukraine flags and they have the Ukraine pins up, those people need to take those pins off. They need to stop flying the flags after what happened today. Look, they never should have done it, but especially after what happened today. And it's a very strong reminder, right, for those of us who, I don't know, have actually read something called Constitutional and the History of this country, the founding documents, right? George Washington's farewell speech, talking about warning against no entangling alliances. Well, what you just witnessed today is the precise reason why. And Zelensky, who was high on his own supply and overdosed on the, I don't know, K Street USAID mantra, that for some reason democracy needs to prevail over every single other thing, including fiscal sanity and the value of American citizenship, sovereignty and your tax dollars. Well, he thinks he can waltz into the Oval Office and lecture a country that has given him close to half of what, trillion dollars? It shows you how far gone that globalist mindset is. And then the best part, he then goes to the Hudson Institute after, despite President Trump canceling his subsequent presser with Zelensky. But I guess the K Street think tanks will still have him and that shows you how these forces are aligned. So the next time you see someone wearing a Ukraine flag pin, it's no longer, I think, just for the photo shoots and the optics, it's to signal to you that they actually hate this country. And sure, I think we've known that for probably longer than just today, but it's clearer than ever and it's absolutely reprehensible. I mean, frankly, what happened today in the Oval Office, this was so bad for Zelensky. I think we should start the clock. How long until they start calling it probably Russian disinformation? Cuz I don't know how you recover from that one. And I believe we have Congressman Andy Ogles from the great state of Tennessee. Congressman, I would love for you to tee off just a little bit on what we witnessed today between President Trump and Zelensky. And then I want to get into all things counter programming the lawfare that these activist judges are engaging in. But your thoughts on what we saw transpire today?

[Andy Ogles]

Well, like you said, that was a huge error on Zelensky's part. He misread the room. He clearly doesn't know Donald Trump's personality and he got spanked. Holy cow. As I was watching that unfold, I had just done a media hit and I'm hearing it in the background, I'm like, what the heck's going on in the White House? And so I walk around the corner to watch the news report. Again, I was shocked. But look, I mean, as you said, you know, he came in here with his handout. He's so used to just getting bags of cash every time he comes to the United States of America. And enough is enough. I mean, I think what you're going to see, I think, quite frankly, this was art of the deal. I think President Trump put Zelensky in his place. I think he's continuing or going to continue to negotiate for the minerals deal in Ukraine, as he should. And so then it's just a matter of time. Again, like you said, can Zelensky survive this politically when he goes back home? I'm not sure that he can. And quite frankly, if I'm President Trump, I don't know that I would invite him back into the Oval Office anytime soon. But again, Trump has an end game in mind. We'll see what it is. But part of it is going to be the mineral deal. And Quite frankly, to avoid those unnecessary entanglements and quite frankly, perhaps lead us to World War Three. I think that's something that's got to be very cognizant on all of our minds. When you look at this Russia, Ukraine conflict.

[Steve Bannon]

And Congressman, you certainly applied that fighting spirit to. There's so many to keep track of. And I know you've been introducing a lot of impeachment articles, but these judges who are blocking, it seems like at every level, every single executive order that the Trump administration is putting out. Can you sort of walk the audience through the different judges that you have introduced articles against and sort of make the case? I'm sure MSNBC's heads are going to exclude explode when you walk through it. Not just, not just for the Trump third term stuff, but just walk us through why you think impeaching some of these judges is the right course of action.

[Andy Ogles]

Yeah. So if you go to Repogels, actually did a video and identified 11 different judges for different reasons that are defying the Trump administration. I have. So there's four that currently have articles of impeachment that have been drafted or in process. I have two of those. One of those against Bates, and the other is Ali. And so. And so, for example, the Supreme Court had to step in and push back or quite frankly, put Ali in his place, because, again, it was judicial activism. He was trying to force the Trump administration to spend billions of dollars overseas. I mean, that's clearly under the president's purview. James Madison warned us about an overactive, all too powerful judiciary that's come into play right here, right now. And if we in Congress, if we don't do something about, then that's on us, because again, our founding fathers, all those years ago warned us about this very day. Then the other judge was trying to put the transgender transitioning of minors, mind you, minors, back on government websites. Well, I call that child abuse and that dude need to be in prison. But that being said, you know, it's important for us to lay down these gauntlets to have these articles of impeachment. Then I've got to prod the speaker to let me run them. But, you know, when you look at the articles of impeachment in Congress, it's high crimes and misdemeanors. So. So that is very vaguely defined. So you may have someone who didn't actually say break a federal statute, but what they've done, this activism, I think rises to that occasion where they've brought their political party, their political opinions into the courtroom. Look they can have an opinion when they're at home, but their opinion at the bench should be based off of the Constitution and the law, not off of politics.

[Steve Bannon]

Well, and a lot of these judges have it extremely radical left leaning conflicts of interest, whether it's them themselves, some of the statements they've made on the record, the spouses, the family members, the charities that they sit on the board of. But I'm curious, you said that this is all sort of dependent on Speaker Johnson letting you bring these to the floor. First of all, is there a sort of an ideal timeframe on that? Have you had any discussions with him? But do you feel that there is support not just from Speaker Johnson, but from the conference more broadly to pursue impeachment against some of these judges or at least some of the most radical ones of the 11 that you've identified?

[Andy Ogles]

Yeah, I think what you do is you pick the one that's most egregious that would quote unquote, rise that level of high crimes and misdemeanors or misdemeanors in this case, and then we move forward. It would go through the Judiciary Committee. It would have to be blessed by the, the speaker for Jim Jordan to move it. But that being said is I'll continue to prod. Now look, we've been working on the budget, budget reconciliation with the Senate. So that's really taken most of the bandwidth of Congress at this point. We've now kicked it to the Senate. And so as we get back next week, we're in for the next two weeks. I'll work on this and try to build that support and momentum. And quite frankly, I think you're going to see my hope is that the President will come behind it. I know Elon is support that. I've actually spoken to Elon about it. And so as we continue to build momentum, build a coalition, we'll find that one judge because again, once you make an example out of one of them, even if the Senate doesn't take it up. Right. I don't work for the Senate, I work for the American people. So I'm not going to do something dependent on what the Senate may or may not do. What does the American people want us to do? What is quite frankly our job and in this case it is to impeach these woke radical activist judges who again, I mean this one Judge Ali just became a U.S. citizen five years ago. He was a Canadian citizen. He's only been on the bench a year. He has dual citizenship. So I have to ask the question Is his allegiance to the US Constitution or the Canadian Constitution? I do call that into question because right now, the way he's ruling at the bench, even the Supreme Court had to step in to put him in his place. And so we'll see what happens next. I'll continue to push. I'm known for being a politician, but outspoken voice in Congress. And this is one of those things that I feel is incredibly important to our, to saving the Republic. And again, James Madison warned us about the judiciary, and we've got to put the judiciary in its place.

[Steve Bannon]

And I want to link this to some other pieces of legislation that you've introduced. Obviously, we're talking about how rogue actors within the judiciary can sort of subvert, though I guess it's not really clandestine. It's very in your face. That's why I think we don't even like the term deep state. Right. It's the in your face state. But in terms of, you know, there's the ongoing sort of, I guess, tussle between the FBI, the Southern District of New York, Pam Bondi's office over these Epstein documents. Your sort of thoughts on where we stand on that fight in terms of Southern District of New York refusing to hand over documents despite the Attorney General saying that she had the list on her desk. Do you sort of believe the theory of the case being that rogue agents within the FBI are refusing to turn over documents, or have you been able to get any answers on that?

[Andy Ogles]

Well, I mean, I think we've seen President Trump's first administration, you had actors, people in the government that were working for the president under various departments, literally worked against the President of the United States. There was a hot mic just a few weeks ago, someone working Homeland Security saying that they were going to undermine the secretary because they didn't like her. And so as we go forward, these people need to be fired. That's why Schedule F is so important. But specific to the Epstein files. That's why I have the PETO act, the Preventing Epstein Document Obliteration. It requires that these documents be identified and preserved so that the due process can take place and there can be investigations. And look, like you said, the Southern District of New York seems to be hiding or withholding evidence from the Attorney General. Heads need to roll over there. And keep in mind, Pam Bondi's been on the job, what, two weeks? Cash Patel, just a few days. But if they want somebody to go with them and go get those documents, I'll hop in a van and go with them and I'll Help them. I'll roll up my sleeves and load the documents myself. But the American people want justice. I, too, was disappointed in the initial document release, but that being said, it creates a baseline. Pam Bondi sending the message, look, this is what I have. I'm showing you my cards, what I can show you. And I think you're going. She was a pit bull when she was attorney general in Florida. She's going to be the pit bull for President Trump. And so I have high great expectations for what she's going to do in this case. And quite frankly, in the role for the American people. There's a new sheriff in town. It's Pam Bondi and Cash Patel, and they are two great Americans who truly, truly want to serve their country and the president. And so I have faith in what they do next.

[Steve Bannon]

And, Congressman, just, just real quick, before we let you go, where we stand on all things, budget, resolutions, cr, government shutdown, all that jazz. I get deja vu every time we have to talk about this, but unfortunately, the swamp is still swamping. So where do we stand on that?

[Andy Ogles]

Well, you know, we did get the budget reconciliation passed through the House. Now, as one of the most conservative members of Congress, it wasn't quite good enough for me. But we in the Freedom Caucus, we got it. We pulled the conference as far right as we could, so we've kicked it over to the Senate. My guess is that they'll solidify or make permanent the Trump tax cuts. They may change some of our cuts, may make it less aggressive, quite frankly, but it's a step in the right direction. And the good thing about reconciliation, it's a simple majority instead of the standard 60 votes. And so I think we'll also be looking at what do we do with the debt ceiling, because that's something you want to take off the table and not let Democrats hold over the president's head here in the next six, eight, 10 months, once that comes to a head. So as we move forward, we're in a good place. It's not as conservative as I would like, or quite frankly, what you would like, but it's better than the alternatives of had the Freedom Caucus not stuck. You know, we stuck together. We demanded deeper cuts, and that's what we got for the American people.

[Steve Bannon]

Congressman, thank you so much for joining us. If people want to follow you, stay up to date with everything that you're working on, all the bills, the impeachment articles that you're introducing. Quite busy. Where can people go to do that?

[Andy Ogles]

Yeah, on X. Just go to Epogles or go to Andyoguls. But EP is the Epogels is the official one. That's where you see in my video. I would encourage you to watch it. It lays out those 11 judges. It's kind of a fun video. We had fun making it. Even Elon retweeted it. So I think you'll enjoy it. Go check it out. And thanks for having me.

[Steve Bannon]

Of course. Thank you so much for joining us. We'll have you back on soon. All right, Warren Posse, in the meantime, you got to make sure you are checking out Rickard's war room. You know Steve always loves to have him on. There are very few people that Steve takes I think financial insights from and I know Jim Rickards is one of them. That's Rickards war room.com get the free book, all the resources, all the access. You can email him, talk to him. That's rickardswarroom.com and last one, I promise. Although this one's one of my personal favorites and that's my Patriot supply you can use. There's no promo code. You automatically just get a $250 discount for a three month supply. @ this rate, I think it's a good time to probably check out my Patriot supply. And I guess I would just add to everything that we saw transpire in the Oval Office today. All things Ukraine. Sure. Don't get me wrong, Zelensky is absolutely reprehensible and a liar and a grifter, but he's an emboldened narcissist only because he's been so gaslit by his American globalist elite counterparts here in the United States. Just a week ago, the same Senate that apparently wants to nuke President Trump's, I guess, America first agenda by screwing him over on all things budget and fiscal and deficit, stuff like that. Well, I guess they found time to go and meet with Zelensky last week and give him, I guess, the reception and praise that probably made him so delusional that he thought that he could walk into the Oval Office and demand probably another standing ovation from President Donald J. Trump, Vice President J.D. vance and the entire cabinet. Which, by the way, if you watched the whole meeting today, you will note that he actually referred to the Vice president by his first name as JD I thought that was a pretty jarring moment. Pretty rude if you ask me. But I'll digress because I want to play this video for you. Let's just roll it real quick so you guys can rage over our just completely feckless Senate, how are you doing? Hi. Good to see you, Bill, thank you so much.

[Jeffrey Tucker]

Good to see you.

[Steve Bannon]

You look good.

[Jeffrey Tucker]

How's it going? Hang in there.

[Donald Trump]

Thank you very much for this.

[Steve Bannon]

Absolutely disgusting. And not just because they treat him like an ally, which again, is way too euphemistic. That's doing a heavy lift there. Frankly, I wouldn't even classify Ukraine as a protectorate. I would say they're the geopolitical equivalent of a black hole or maybe, I don't know, an offshore bank account, except they actually have firepower that we've subsidized. Oh, and just fun fact, if you didn't know, the Ukrainian arms industry is actually working as we speak to set up a new business of exporting arms across the world. I wonder where they found all that surplus. I think they just overturned some regulation on a exporting out. Like I said, arms, munitions, you name it. I'll be very blunt. Volodymyr Zelensky. I guess we're on a first name basis. Although if you say that to the vice president, I can probably call you Vladimir. You are a democracy crisis actor. And the entire Ukrainian psyop war since 2014 has been a false flag to destroy that country, kill your citizens, your constituents, the people who elected you. Because unfortunately, I think if we've seen anything from pandemics or what the World Economic Forum espouses their ideology to be to recreate and rebuild a new country, you have to destroy it first. Right? And you have to build back better. I think I remember someone saying that. And that's why they're so upset over what President Trump is doing and you Ukraine, because under Joe Biden, they destroyed that country. And they thought that all the global elites, including the blackrock and all these swampy investment funds that were going to get to rebuild it, we're going to be the ones who would profit off of it and make the decisions about terraforming it and making into this new, probably World Economic Forum approved country something of that derivation. But unfortunately, President Trump wants the selection and that's not going to happen. And I think for that reason, we should all sleep very well tonight. Steve will be back for tomorrow morning's show. I hope you guys have a good weekend.
