EPISODE OVERVIEW

This episode of The War Room with Stephen K. Bannon on Real America’s Voice centers on the historic arraignment of former FBI Director James Comey on two felony charges. Against the backdrop of ongoing political battles, Bannon and guests dissect the significance of this moment, the broader efforts to dismantle the "deep state," and the perceived imbalance in the American justice system’s treatment of political adversaries. Correspondent Brian Glenn reports live from the courthouse, while frequent guest Mike Davis ("The Viceroy") provides legal and strategic analysis. The tone throughout is combative, triumphalist, and focused on themes of justice, accountability, and conservative populist determination.

MAIN THEMES & PURPOSE

• Historic Arraignment: The episode follows the live developments as James Comey is arraigned, portraying it as a pivotal victory in a long campaign to hold the "deep state" accountable.
• Justice vs. Double Standard: Discussion centers on the alleged disparity between the treatment of Trump allies (Bannon, Navarro) and establishment figures like Comey.
• Deep State Counteroffensive: Reinforces the narrative that the Trump movement is reclaiming and reforming federal institutions captured by entrenched elites.
• Process, Accountability, and Retribution: The episode frames today's events as only the beginning, vowing ongoing legal and political action.

---

STRUCTURED SUMMARY

1. Setting the Scene: Historic Day in Virginia

Timestamp: [02:10] – [10:43]

• Steve Bannon opens by cutting straight to live coverage outside the federal courthouse in Northern Virginia, eagerly anticipating Comey’s arrival and arraignment.

• Bannon: "The reason it's historic is not simply an FBI director being indicted today...These are just the appetizers...before the major engagement. They are working on massive indictments of McCabe...Bolton and McCabe and Brennan and Comey and Clapper, all you guys are going to spend many, many, many years in a federal prison." [03:30]

• Bannon recounts his own and Peter Navarro’s previous courtroom ordeals, contrasting their "civil infraction" handling to Comey's pending felonies.

---

2. Report from the Courthouse

Timestamp: [10:43] – [13:22]

• Brian Glenn details the courtroom atmosphere and composition of the crowd: mostly older, white anti-Trump demonstrators.

• Glenn: "Seems to be very much in touch of who you typically see marching in the streets...I would say it's 65 plus white retirees. That's what it is." [11:08]

• The crowd's focus is framed as anti-Trump rather than anti-Comey, underlining the ongoing culture war.

---

3. Disparities in Legal Process

Timestamp: [13:47] – [15:19]

• Bannon emphasizes the need to send a message: "When you take apart the deep state, you have to take the leading conspirators and they must go to prison. Right? Or, or leave the country. Right. And if we can't extradite them, they, they live in exile, forever bankrupt. No, they have to be dealt with. I think it's a great, I think this is a glorious day. This is part of the revolution." [13:47]

• Bannon launches into criticisms of the system for 'special treatment' of Comey versus the heavy-handed tactics used against MAGA figures.

---

4. Mike Davis on Comey’s Indictment: Legal Breakdown

Timestamp: [14:45] – [22:34]

• Mike Davis details the charges: Comey is indicted for false statements to Congress and obstruction of a congressional investigation relating to his leaks and testimony from 2017 and 2020.

• Davis: "He used the FBI, he politicized it and weaponized it...the bogus Russian collusion hoax, Crossfire hurricane investigation, the biggest scandal in American history." [14:46]

• Davis notes that only the 2020 false statement could be pursued due to statute of limitations.

• On the process: Davis is cautiously optimistic, saying "Today is the beginning of justice, certainly not the end." [22:25]

---

5. Systemic Double Standards and Deep State Resistance

Timestamp: [24:08] – [27:41]

• Discussion expands to recent congressional hearings, perceived attacks on Trump loyalists like Pam Bondi, and the entrenched resistance of "deep state" elements and Democratic administration.

• Glenn: "The Democrats are polling historically low right now. They have nothing to lose. And I don't see this government shutdown ending anytime soon because they want to see Americans suffer...They want to ruin this country on Donald J. Trump's watch." [25:40]

---

6. Fort Pierce Strategy – Seeking Real Accountability

Timestamp: [27:41] – [35:24]

• The strategy for future prosecutions is outlined: shift crucial cases to Fort Pierce, FL, to avoid the perceived partiality of D.C. and Northern Virginia juries and judges.

• Davis: "[In Fort Pierce] you have a grand jury of real Americans in real America." [51:49]

• Bannon credits the Article 3 Project and Davis for building momentum and coalition for these legal offensives.

---

7. Special Treatment for Comey – The Courtroom Drama

Timestamp: [39:15] – [55:37]

• Live confusion over whether Comey will face the media – unlike Bannon/Navarro, he is ushered in out of sight, avoiding the "perp walk."
• Bannon is incensed:
  • "They tried to break you...it's meant to be intimidating...Now today, for some reason...they allowed Comey to do something they didn't allow anybody else to do. This is is the problem. The problem is the system is rigged on these guys side, okay? It's got to stop." [46:47]
• Notable quote (Bannon): "If anyone on the planet should have been per walked and faced the humiliation, the shame, like every other criminal defendant does, it should have been James Comey." [60:33]

---

8. Administrative Error or Deep State Collusion?

Timestamp: [63:22] – [67:19]

• Davis reports finding out it was a "summons" rather than an "arrest warrant" due to an administrative mistake, meaning Comey didn’t have to endure arrest processing, the "perp walk," or media scrutiny.
• Bannon and Davis acknowledge the error, praise U.S. attorney Lindsey Halligan for working under the gun, but highlight how process details are exploited by entrenched officials:
  • "The deep state is always going to protect their own. We're to these people, alien invaders." [67:19]

---

9. Implications and Next Steps

Timestamp: [75:14] – [87:08]

• Explains the difference between a summons and an arrest warrant, and the procedural consequences.

• Davis: "James Comey, the most malicious prosecutor in American history is complaining about malicious prosecution." [83:57]

• The focus shifts to the case timeline: expectations for possible trial in several months, possibility of a hung jury or acquittal in Virginia due to jury pool biases.

---

10. Broader Campaign: More Indictments and Populist Resolve

Timestamp: [85:21] – [87:11]

• Davis affirms the public and ongoing nature of these legal battles:
  • "I'm going to make damn sure these people go to prison and I'm going to do it very publicly. So article3project.org...take action, action, action, action, as we always say, is the war room's, war room posse's superpower." [86:39]

---

11. Navarro’s Reaction – Outraged by Disparity

Timestamp: [87:13] – [88:42]

• Peter Navarro (White House guest) joins briefly, voicing frustration:

  • "James Comey got special treatment. Navarro, they dragged you, they shackled you like a dog, then they dragged you into a to an arraignment. James Comey got VIP treatment for felonies. Yours were misdemeanors. How's that set with you, sir?"
  • Navarro: "Pisses me off, Steve." [87:38]

• Bannon reiterates—"this is just one small administrative matter, but in the narrative building, huge, okay?" [88:40]

---

NOTABLE QUOTES & MEMORABLE MOMENTS

• Steve Bannon: "We are determined to break the deep state and we're determined to make sure that never again can anyone like the illegitimate Biden regime steal an election..." [03:45]
• Mike Davis: "This is the biggest scandal in American history. This indictment of James Comey. Comey is the beginning and not the end of justice for James Comey." [60:33]
• Bannon on the "perp walk": "If that's the process, that's the process. Let's roll, let's just go. It's game day, let's hit it, right? But here Comey, you already see special treatment. They slid him in, in through one of these Sally ports...to get him in with no media scrutiny." [55:37]
• Peter Navarro: "Pisses me off, Steve." [87:38]

---

[Steve Bannon]

Okay, welcome to the war room. We're going to hold our traditional cold open and show open, because right now you're looking at a podium that is outside the federal courthouse in Northern Virginia. Momentarily, James Comey, former FBI director. He may stop at the podium and say a few words. His lawyers may say a few words. But he's going to go inside that building. He is set to be a rain today. Our own Brian Glenn is getting set up. You can see a little bit of inclement weather. Our own Brian Glenn is getting set up. And we'll go to Brian here momentarily. Do we have Mike Davis, the viceroy? Okay, let's, let's dual process. Let's get Mike Davis up asap. Mike Davis, the viceroy is going to join us also. A very historic day in. We can go ahead and do the split screen if you want. And then we go back to the full. I'm going to produce direct star, be the narrator of today's proceedings. You're in the war room. It is Wednesday, the 8th of October in the year of our Lord 2025. There we go. Okay, we're all happy now. Very historic day A FBI. The reason it's historic is not simply an FBI director being indicted today or rain on indictments of two felony counts. And remember, we had Peter Navarro and I'm gonna have Peter on later because I want to make sure everybody understands how this deep state war against President Trump and the Trump movement and are counteroffensive here. Peter Navarro for a misdemeanor which 99.99% of the time is handled civilly in these disputes between Congress. Okay. Peter Navarro didn't lie to Congress. Peter Navarro, because President Trump exerted executive privilege and he was a senior White House aide and the committee was not structured properly, had no ranking member and no counsel. Peter Navarro and Stephen K. Bannon and Dan Scavino and Mark Meadows opted our constitutional duty not not to submit documentation and not to go testify as a matter of constitutional principle. These were misdemeanors. They normally, like I said, 99.99% of the time in American history handled through civilization litigation. Scavino and Mark Meadows were not charged, but they charged Peter Navarro. Myself and Peter Navarro they treated like an animal to try to humiliate him and break him at Reagan Airport, very close to this courthouse, so not that far away from this federal courthouse. They basically chained him up in front of, right. Dragged him off a plane, chained up his fiance, took him down a tarmac and tried to put him in leg irons and then took him over to the federal courthouse, put him in the basement where the cells down there, you know, one of the cells was for Hinckley on a misdemeanor. Comey is about felony two felonies, right? He bald faced, lied to Congress, he obstructed justice. And these are just the appetizers. I want to make sure the audience first fully understands that these are just the, you know, in this battle. These are kind of the opening little cannon fire, cannon fire. You're going to hear before the major engagement. They are working on massive indictments of McCabe and McCabe you talked that time about, and maybe we can play this later, leaving the country, right? You were so nervous before Trump was elected, you actually said on CNN people are having discussions about leaving the country. You ought to put that on your menu of options, brother, because Bolton and McCabe and Brennan and Comey and Clapper, all you guys are going to spend many, many, many years in a federal prison. We are determined to break the deep state and we're determined to make sure that never again can anyone like the illegitimate Biden regime steal an election which the intelligence services and the deep state stole from President Trump to try to destroy MAGA and the President Trump's family. You saw the impassioned discussion we had yesterday with Eric Trump on the release of his new book, under Siege. If you get a chance, get that book from Eric Trump. Also, Peter Navarro, which is hurtling up the New York Times bestseller list. Oh, wait, the New York Times doesn't want to include his bestseller list. But Dr. Navarro joins us from the White House. In a little while, the viceroy, Mike Davis, whose tremendous work on this over the years, because this has been a team effort to essentially get the indictment of Comey and others, is going to join us momentarily as Mike Davis. From the time we started bringing Mike Davis on, around the time of the Mar A Lago raider, shortly before he walked you through basically the crimes of the deep state in trying to eradicate President Trump. And hey, folks, in those years, 21, 22, 23, remember, we had some, we had some days that were dark days, but we fought through it and we were resilient. And that's why President Trump has returned to the White House. He's now commander, chief, he's chief executive officer. And for Comey and folks formerly at the Justice Department, Lisa Monaco and these folks, he is the chief law enforcement officer and chief magistrate of the United States government. And President Trump is not, you know, shy about expressing some observations he has in this, but this is why this is so important. So the show today, we're going to have, we're going to have Brian Glenn as soon as he's up. Comey will be here momentarily. And then, and then we'll go to, we'll have Mike Davis, the viceroy, and we'll have and then we have Mark Mitchell, that amazing analysis he gave us last night. Mark Mitchell is going to be back. And join us, the Atlantic magazine, Tom Nichols, formerly of the Naval War College, has a huge piece up in the Atlantic magazine talking about the crisis between the military and political affairs of the military and the civilian trying to accuse President Trump of being this is the authoritarian breakout. POSO is going to join us for this, although POSO is heading for the White House. Besides this historic event today, this afternoon at 3:00, of which we're going to be covering wall to wall, there's going to be a roundtable on Antifa, as President Trump is designating now, Antifa, a terrorist, a domestic terrorist organization, and he's taking all measures, including federalizing National Guard in Portland and I think soon other places to deal with this, to deal with the antifa issue. That's at 3 o' clock this afternoon. So on Real America's Voice, keep it dialed in here all throughout the day for breaking news on this historic day, Wednesday 8th October in the year of our Lord 2025. Also an announcement, and we don't we cannot give you all the details now, but the Marine Corps 250, it looks like it's going to be bifurcated into two different events of which we're going to cover all of it wall to wall like we did Navy 250, our brethren in the Marine Corps, one of the greatest fighting forces ever assembled by man, the devil dogs one we're going to have and I'll have more information on this later in the show, but we're going to have this Saturday time to be determined. There's going to be a special put on by the White House, a special what we call in the Navy, an evolution put on put on by the by the Marine Corps and people associated with the Marine Corps, Real America's Voice. The war room will be there for the entirety of it. I'll give you more details, but just take your number two principal and just mark out Saturday, beginning of Marine Corps 250. Then the following Saturday, it's even going to be a fuller event or evolution. And like I said, details coming. But we're going to obviously we did Army 250, we did Navy 250 and Marine Corps 250 is about to come. We're going to go to Brian Glenn now. Brian Glenn is at the federal courthouse. Let's go to our own White House correspondent doing a little double duty today at the federal courthouse in Northern Virginia, our own Brian Glenn. Brian Glenn, put us in the room, sir.

[Brian Glenn]

Yeah, let me we're just in front of the courthouse and they've got, as you would imagine, several media outlets all here anticipating his arrival. He's not here yet, but let me step aside because I want will to kind of set the scene here and you get an idea of the setup. We do have, obviously some protesters across the street, it seems, and I said this earlier off camera, seems to be very much in touch of who you typically see marching in the streets to protest the Nationals guard being in D.C. it's very much the same demo. I would say it's 65 plus white retirees. That's what it is.

[Steve Bannon]

I hate to say it, but, but, but. Brian, Brian, hang on. No, Brian, Hanger, hang for a second. When Navarro and myself, when we were arraigned, the protesters out there are hate Trump protest, hate Trump protest. Accusing us of being insurrection is all everything today. There's not an anti Comey, you know, accusing him. They are. This is, I just want the audience to understand this is more of the hate Trump. They always show up. They're outside the federal court in D.C. they're outside the federal court here. They are Trump haters. They're all these older, you know, they're crunchy, as we say, crunchy liberals, the type of person that watches PBS all day long. And they're out there. They were protesting Navarro and myself for supporting the president and they were anti the president today. These people were actually in support of Comey and against President Trump. Correct?

[Brian Glenn]

You're absolutely right, Steve. That's exactly what it is. And they weren't, I guess, anywhere near these courthouses when they dragged in people that had nothing to do with J6. They were dragged in everyone else in the MAGA movement. We even got the guy called the truth conductor making his way. See if you get a shot of that. Will making his way. He's in front of the White House every day. He's out here apparently reaching for the truth. Steve. It doesn't happen. These guys, they are very silent right now. They haven't been vocal. I guess whenever Comey comes up, they'll probably voice their, their support for him and their opposition for President Trump. But here's what it looks like. And of course, a lot of familiar faces from the media that's normally at the White House is here today. And to go on something just you guys touched upon a few minutes ago, there is an antifa roundtable scheduled in the state dining room later today, 3 o'. Clock. We'll be on the ground in the room. We'll be there for you and to give you a full report for your afternoon war room. But this is what it looks like right now. I guess we're running a little bit behind. He's supposed to arrive at around 10. We'll see where that happens here shortly.

[Steve Bannon]

But this is where we're at.

[Brian Glenn]

And it's really a sad day, I think, in America when we have, you know, you finally expose the truth behind the Russia hoax. All of the nonsense that took place, all of the weaponization of our Justice Department, FBI, and no one's held accountable until now. And you would think that people would celebrate that, but it's just an anti Trump day here.

[Steve Bannon]

Yeah, but look, it's a handful of people. I mean, this is a celebratory day. One of the top bad guys in the deep state. And it's not just about getting personnel, but you have to send a message. You have to send a message to people. When you take apart the deep state, you have to take the leading conspirators and they must go to prison. Right. Or, or leave the country. Right. And if we can't extradite them, they, they live in exile, forever bankrupt. No, they have to be dealt with. I think it's a, I think it's a great, I think this is a glorious day. This is part of the revolution. This is a glorious day because it took so much to get here. Brian Glenn, hang on. Our White House correspondent Brian Glenn is there outside the federal courthouse. Comey not respecting the court is late. Mike Davis, the viceroy, joins us. Mike, when you first start coming on the show right before the Mar A Lago raid and started walking us through this, we both envisioned this day coming. But it's been quite a journey, has it not, sir?

[Mike Davis (The Viceroy)]

Yeah. I mean, remember what James Comey did here? He used the FBI, he politicized it and weaponized it to help Hillary Clinton's campaign and to cover up her corruption and to hurt President Trump. And they, they spied on President presidential candidate Donald Trump. They spied on his presidency, they hobbled his first term with the bogus Russian collusion hoax, Crossfire hurricane investigation, the biggest scandal in American history. And I would say to former FBI Director James Comey, this first indictment is just the beginning of justice you will face. This first indictment is related to James Comey's lying to Congress, to the Senate Judiciary Committee, to then chairman shot Grassley in 2017. When my former boss asked James Comey about his leaks to the media about this matter, he lied about it. He lied about it again in 2020. He reaffirmed his lying to Congress in 2020. This was both a lie under 18 USC 1001, false statements under 18 USC 1100. And it's also obstruction of a congressional investigation because when you lie to investigators, you obstruct their investigation. We couldn't. We're not going to see Comey charged from the 2017 lie because that's beyond the five year statute of limitations. But the 2020 lie got charged by Trump US Attorney Lindsey Halligan within the five year period. Remember what happened with this grand jury. This grand jury is a bunch of Democrats, including government workers in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. in Alexandria, Virginia and this woke white wealthy enclave outside of Washington, D.C. it seems from the news reports that the grand jury actually considered this seriously because the grand jury apparently did not return true bills The US.

[Mike Davis (The Viceroy)]

The truth became a web of lies.

[Leon Neyfak]

It's almost a dirty word, one that connotes conspiracy theory.

[Steve Bannon]

Will we ever get the truth about the Benghazi massacre?

[Leon Neyfak]

Bad faith, political warfare, and frankly, bullshit.

[Brian Glenn]

We kill the ambassador just to cover something up. You put two and two together.

[Mike Davis (The Viceroy)]

On perjury. But the grand jury did return true bills on the, on the, the indictment for false statements and obstructions. So the, the grand jury took these false statements and this obstruction seriously, this alleged fault, these alleged false statements and obstruction by James Comey. They took it so seriously that they charged with these federal crimes. And now James Comey is going to show up for his arraignment today in the federal court in the Eastern District of Virginia. He's already pled not guilty. The judge is going to explain to him the rules of the road. He's very familiar with the rules of the road. He was the head of the FBI. He was a prosecutor before. He has Patrick Fitzgerald, his buddy, who was another deep state actor, as his defense attorney. And so I'm excited to see what old James Comey. Comey has to say. He's awfully sanctimonious. And he's told us before that even small lies need to be prosecuted because it's so damaging to the system. Again, this is just the beginning of justice for James Comey. He participated in the biggest scandal in American history when he politicized and weaponized law enforcement. And intel agencies with Crossfire Hurricane to take out presidential candidate Trump to help Hillary to cover up her foreign corruption. And when they failed and Trump went into the White House, they hobbled his presidency. They impeached him twice. They went after his top aides like you, Steve Bannon. They put Peter Navarro and you in prison. They tried to put Trump in prison four times for non crimes. They tried to bankrupt him for non fraud. They tried to take him off the ballot in several states unconstitutionally. The Democrats even tried to take off Trump's head twice when Biden said Trump was the gravest threat to democracy, compared him to Hitler, said to put a bullseye on him, on Trump, and then underfunded the Secret Service protection twice. So I want to emphasize this. Today is the beginning of justice, certainly not the end.

[Steve Bannon]

Folks. This is the beginning. And look, there's so much going on behind the scenes here in the last couple months, but this is the first step in the formal process that is going to take years. So get ready and you're going to know all the details. We're going to give you all the inside baseball. Mike, just hang on. The viceroy's with us. Just hang on for one second. We'll go back to Brian Glenn and then come back to Mike on this topic. Brian, I want to make sure everybody in the audience understands yesterday at the Senate Judiciary Committee, and I think Pam's going back up today, tomorrow to the House is a part of a piece of what we're seeing today. She was viciously attacked by the Democrats right on her competence, her veracity. They essentially called her. I mean, she said it all the time. You're calling me a liar. You see that the Democratic Party, which now can't win elections unless they steal elections through illegal aliens, have them on the ballot, have them on the ability to vote or count and congressional districts. It's very obvious from everything that's going on, it all revolves around illegal aliens. They realize they're like rats we have cornered and that means they're going to get more and more dangerous. As you see what's happening in New York City, what's happening in Chicago, what's happening in Portland. But talk to me about the White House. The White House has been observing this. You had Pam attacked viciously yesterday, today, the first step in a long journey of taking apart the deep state by using the rule of law. What is your assessment of what's the White House thinking about this today?

[Brian Glenn]

That's a great assessment on that. I was just listening to, I guess one of the protesters behind me, I wouldn't share what they were saying. But you know, this is, you know, and also going after Antifa, which has been kind of the ground troops and a lot of this stuff as far as causing this chaos around US Cities, all about the ICE on the deportations. And really one of the reasons why Pam Bondi and President Trump has ordered the National Guard to all these cities is to protect these ICE facilities to prevent what happened there in Dallas just a few weeks ago. So she was attacked yesterday. But it's really interesting to find out when you look about how the DOJ and the FBI and all the government agencies just were weaponized against J6ers, against anybody that basically school board parents, remember school board parents were getting arrested for simply voicing their opinion about how the school board at the time was teaching some of the, the very woke trans agenda that was happening on the school board, even speaking out on that. They were wrongfully arrested and charged and, and some spent time in jail. So this is a bigger piece of a larger puzzle here that we're fighting for conservatives and it's going to be long and hard. And let me make this also perfectly clear and I was talking to a colleague yesterday about this government shutdown right now. The Democrats are polling historically low right now. They have nothing to lose. And I don't see this government shutdown ending anytime soon because they want to see Americans suffer not only with job loss, they want to see insurance rates go up, they want to see people losing their livelihoods, they want to see inflation going back up. This is what they want to do. They want to ruin this country on Donald J. Trump's watch. And then in hopes of sometime gaining the Americans trust back in the midterms and of course looking further down to 2028. So it all starts in the courtrooms, it all starts with accountability. And of course, I was reading some hit pieces on the way here to this courthouse about the left with love they're calling all of this. You know, they're basically Trump's revenge tour on everything. But now this is more about holding people accountable for what has happened.

[Steve Bannon]

Brian, stay right there. We're going to come right back to you momentarily. When Comey comes, I want to go to the Viceroy again, Mike, since, you know, for Grassley, you work with him for years, you know, House Judiciary, you saw it yesterday, or Senate Judiciary. I thought it was a travesty. I thought the personal attacks of Pam Bondi were way outside the bounds. And I think it goes to show you because it's the first step of a journey for them. They are literally going to go after everybody in the Justice Department viciously. And this is the first step in a long legal journey we've got. But you've already got, you know, it's all kind of weighed against us because we're not in D.C. which is impossible to get anything regarding justice against the deep state. But even Northern Virginia you just mentioned, I mean, Northern Virginia, you cross the Potomac now. And my beloved native state is literally Washington D.C. all the way to Fredericksburg. So you're just in a suburb of Washington D.C. with all federal workers and that's who's essentially are people that's livelihoods are tied to expanding government right with, with services, consultants, etc. So it's very tough, very tough to get a fair jury here, very tough to get a fair trial. But talk to us about this journey.

[Mike Davis (The Viceroy)]

Well, look, I want to step back and say this is why I have been so strongly praising Pam all along. And I understand that, you know, with any appointed official, they can disappoint from time to time. But what's so key about Pam is that she is fiercely loyal to President Trump. She lives outside of the swamp. She's from deep red Florida and not Washington D.C. she doesn't care about the swamp. She doesn't want to become part of the swamp. She's not a lifer in the swamp. And she is tough as hell. As, as we just saw at that Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. You if you got some Ivy League white dude as the Attorney general, some dork as the Attorney general, that Attorney general would have been up there apologizing and begging for forgiveness from those partisan Democrat senators. Pam Bondi stood her ground and punched back and punched back very forcefully. She is a force to be reckoned with. We, we are seeing this right now with James Comey. I don't think Bill Barr would have had the balls, yes, balls to do what Pam Bondi is doing today by moving forward with this indictment, just under the five year statute limitations to go after James Comey. I don't think Pam Bondi would have allowed the U.S. attorney in the Southern District of Florida, Jason Redding, Kenone, my good friends, to have the court open up a new special grand jury in Fort Pierce, Florida, the same Fort Pierce where Jack Smith tried to throw President Trump in prison for the rest of his life for espionage for presidential records that President Trump was allowed to have under the Presidential Records Act. So maybe, just maybe, they're actually going to move forward with what we've been discussing on your show for three years, Steve, which is the conspiracy against rights. When these lawfare Democrats use the FBI, the intel agencies have politicized them and weaponize them to go after Trump, his top aides and his supporters. That seems like a conspiracy against rights under 18 USC section 241. Jack Smith and the lawfare Democrats are very familiar with that charge. It's one of the charges they got, they brought against President Trump. And I, I imagine that between Pam Bondi having balls of steel and Jason Redding Quinones coming from a family of Cuban refugees, a family that despises the weaponization of government and it's, it's to their core they despise that. I imagine I bet you anything that justice coming.

[Steve Bannon]

I want to drill down on this for a second because all the information we know about Comey in the act itself happened. Correct me if I'm wrong, I think the actual incident that it happened during Barr's watch, right? Or before bar, during bars when Barr had every ability and for many other things to start this, but of course he wasn't going to do it. I mean they actually worked counter to President Trump. It took President Trump actually coming back in those years in the wilderness, Mike, of which you became the viceroy, became a major part of the team. You had worked for Grassley before. Then you started the Article 3 project. I got to tell you, without the Article 3 project and your ability to articulate these complicated issues, I'm not sure we get here today. I think that's the importance of what you as the viceroy has done. I want to go and talk about this Fort Pierce for a second because I've been advocating and you've been saying, hey, we don't want to do that because it's going to slow things down. And I finally had Josh Hawley yesterday because of the wiretapping of the senators about just selecting somebody to be a special prosecutor here and take the whole case. Now talk to us about what's going because if we do it in Washington or even Northern Virginia, this thing is not going to get the traction we want because of the prejudice of the jury pool and the judges. So talk to us about what's happening at Fort Pierce and can that be where this expanded conspiracy case actually lands?

[Mike Davis (The Viceroy)]

Just to be clear, I have very publicly called for this for the last three years in my 5,000 media hits where you have turned me into the, the biggest media whore in Trump world. But I would say this, that I.

[Steve Bannon]

Have very publicly that's saying something that's Saying something.

[Mike Davis (The Viceroy)]

Go ahead. The, I have very publicly called for the Trump when Trump wins reelection. And everyone said that was impossible. And then it was Steve Bannon and me and the war room posse fighting every day. President Trump's back in the White House and justice is coming. We, we have been calling for this every day for the last three years with again, over 5,000 media hits, constant opinion pieces, constant social media, constant meetings with senators and members of the House, constant meetings with the coalition we have built this political case. John Sauer and Todd Blanche and Amel Bove, the new judge on the Third Circuit and the rest of Boris Epstein and the rest of President Trump's team. Pam Bondi, when she was on the impeachment team, President Trump's legal team have made the correct legal arguments with presidential immunity. We provided all the support they needed with the political arguments to help the six Republican appointed justices find and keep their backbones. Because as conservatives, we not only have to get the law right, we have to have the politics right so our side doesn't go wobbly. They did that. President Trump is back in the White House. Pam Bondi's running the Justice Department. I pushed very forcefully to get Jason Redding. Quinone's picked very early on as the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida. The Democrats obstructed his confirmation for many months. He finally got confirmed. You just saw it's very public that the court granted his motion to set up a special grand jury in Fort Pierce. Those grand juries take time. So the grand jury should be up and running by January because you have to send out the notices and you have to do all the process that's required to set up special grand juries. And then those special grand juries go for 18 months. So I would say that January seems like the time that the grand, the grand jury in Fort Pierce could start hearing a conspiracy against rights case. Who knows, maybe they're already starting to do investigations right now before the grand jury is fully impaneled in January. So you have a case that's building so you can take it to the grand jury. But look, again, I have very publicly called for this, that all of these lawfare Democrats that who participated in this ongoing criminal conspiracy to take out President Trump, his top aids, his allies, his supporters, even parents, Christians, when you politicize and weaponize intel agencies and law enforcement that go after your political enemies, that is the biggest scandal imaginable. That is the biggest criminal conspiracy imaginable. And these lawfare Democrats better lawyer up because again, nobody's above the laws. James Comey told us constantly. And I'm going to make damn sure over the next four years that these people face justice.

[Steve Bannon]

Viceroy, hang on for one second. I want to go to Brian Glenn. It looks like there's a little activity. Going to come back to Mike Davis with more analysis on this, folks. This is a signpost on the journey we've been taking together about making sure we can save this constitutional republic. It started in the on J6. What they what turned into what they said turned into an insurrection was the farthest from truth. Now we know they're 274 FBI agents outside. So much is just becoming clear now. Yesterday you just found out because of a whistleblower, not because we have control of the FBI. And let's go to Brian Glenn right now. Brian, it looks like people are moving forward. They're not going to come to the podium, they're going to go across. Is that what's happening?

[Propane Energy Advertiser]

The US Electric grid is approaching a breaking point. As demand soars from data centers and home energy use, our aging infrastructure can't keep up. And the Department of Energy warns that without action, blackouts could surge 100 fold by 2030. The good news? One solution is already here. Propane. It's American made, stored on site and always ready, powering homes and businesses with cleaner, reliable energy that doesn't depend on the grid or the weather.

[Leon Neyfak]

When I told people I was making a podcast about Benghazi, nine times out of ten they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked why Benghazi?

[Mike Davis (The Viceroy)]

The truth became a web of lies.

[Leon Neyfak]

It's almost a dirty word, one that connotes conspiracy theory.

[Steve Bannon]

Will we ever get the truth about the Benghazi massacre?

[Leon Neyfak]

Bad faith, political warfare, and frankly, bullshit.

[Brian Glenn]

We kill the ambassador just to cover something up. You put two and two together.

[Leon Neyfak]

Was it an overblown distraction or a sinister conspiracy?

[Brian Glenn]

I just walked over to where the main reporters are to try to find out exactly what the timing of everything and what's. What's happening. We've seen a lot of guest reporters that have been inside the courtroom, run out to each corresponding tent, kind of give their reports of what is happening. But, yeah, it looks like the. The group has moved across the street just waiting for some type of appearance. And I was told earlier that they did not see Comey come into the courthouse. So he has not been seen as of yet outside the area that we're at now. I can't confirm that he's going to come out and make a statement or his attorney or someone with all this.

[Mike Davis (The Viceroy)]

Hang on.

[Steve Bannon]

I will. Hang on, hang on, hang on. I'm gonna give you some inside baseball. There are entrances. Mike Davis. There are entrances that you can bring people in. They were very specific when I was arraigned and Peter Navarro arraigned, that we had to walk. They wanted us to walk in front of this, in front of the lynch mob of the media. I think I gave as good as I got, but they absolutely ruled out any ability to come into this courthouse undercover. Do you think that they've actually waived the rules for Comey so Comey can slip in here like the rat he is instead of having to face at least some of the media like real America's voice. That may pop a uncomfortable question.

[Mike Davis (The Viceroy)]

So sir, it's a very good question, Steve. But I was, when I was a brand New prosecutor Almost 20 years ago, I worked in that courthouse in the U.S. u.S. District Court for the Eastern district of Virginia. It would be pretty unusual to give a preferential treatment or special treatment to a defendant like James Comey simply because he's the favorite of the deep state. But maybe there are security reasons. I'm not sure what the thought process would be. They certainly didn't care about, you know, perp walking you or Jeff Clark or you know, pulling you guys out of your homes. And you know, Jeff, Peter Navarro, Jeff Clark, they pulled out of his home in his underwear. Peter Navarro, they perk walk. They didn't have, they didn't have any problem putting Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro in prison for six months. Yeah. For constitutional executive privilege going back 250 years to George Washington. But who knows, maybe this Democrat judge who is on this case.

[Steve Bannon]

No, no, no. I'm going to, I'm going to find out all of it because I'll be blunt, is that when I went to, I showed up to the federal court for a misdemeanor, I turned myself into the FBI on the day and I was arraigned later, I was put, I was shackled for a misdemeanor. I was shackled, put in a van, taken over to the federal courthouse from the FBI and basically put in one of those holding cells below federal thing. And it's a holding cell that is, you know, you have no access to anything for hours shackled without seeing your attorney. Oh, these guys tried to play smash mouths. They were trying to break you. In fact, at the time I was thinking I can go through this and we're going to be fine. You know, I give two Fs. Right. But I was thinking there are a couple of three guys I know that may get rolled up in this thing. I don't think they're going to handle this. You know, it's, it's a. Psychologically they try to break you from the very beginning. And if Comey doesn't have this, I'll clearly check in with the DOJ and FBI and find out why he's getting special treatment. He should get the exact same because his are felonies. Let me go back. Peter Navarro and Stephen K. Bannon were misdemeanors for not complying with which is as you know, Mike 99% of the time are handled civilly. I think for the first time since the McCarthy era. I think there's only one guy, Ring Lardner Jr. Who there's another shot of outside the Courthouse. Ring Lardner Jr. Who actually served in Danbury. It's the reason I requested Danbury prison when they said they were going to put me in a prison, not in a camp. That ring Lardner Jr actually for failing to testify back then it was actually a felony. That's why he went to Danbury. The people at Danbury told me they don't ever remember a misdemeanor being in a federal low security prison. This is. We got to make sure. I will promise the audience I'm going to find out why Comey is not his are felonies. I mean he's got for two felonies and this is just the appetizer. There's so much more coming. Do you think they try to cut a deal? Well, look, this courthouse, the judges, everybody associated with this are a bunch of flaming progressives. Northern Virginia, like I said, it's not Virginia anymore. Virginia ends at Fredericksburg. Basically everything north of there, you still got Spotsylvania, some good folks there. But basically everything north of there is just a suburb of Washington D.C. and infected with the administrative state mindset. But Mike, do you think that. Because the other thing I was told and just to show respect to the court, when they say 10 o', clock, the judge wants you there at 10 o'. Clock, they don't want you there to after 10, they don't want you at 5 or 10. So my vehicle with my security guys, we always show up a couple of minutes early just to show respect for the court. I mean, I don't know why I thought it was supposed to be arraigned at 10 if I had the schedule correctly. I don't know why we're, we're running late here.

[Mike Davis (The Viceroy)]

Well, I would say this to James Comey, that you might get this VIP treatment in the Eastern District of Virginia, but I doubt you're going to get this VIP treatment in the Fort Pierce division in the Southern District of Florida. So right now he's getting the Four Seasons, he's going to get the Motel 6 in Fort Pierce. And I look and I would also say this, Steve, when, when they, when the next Democrat administration throws me in the Gulag, throws me in Danbury, I want you know, as someone who's. Who's has not exactly been the most healthy person in Washington D.C. over the last.

[Steve Bannon]

Hang on Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. I got breaking news. They slipped Comey into another entrance so he didn't have to come through here. This is bullshit. I don't know who at DOJ and who at the FBI or I hope the White House understands this, that you know, instead of Navarro and I. And look, I proudly walked in there cuz I was proud of what I did and I wasn't going to have the media. Mike Davis, you know this. You're one of the guys that backed me, one of my lawyers. I was proud. I don't mount backing down the media, but they try to sit there and psychologically break you so they got that image of you walking to court the entire time. I don't know how James Comey is in court right now. He just pleaded not guilty. Is that correct? On social media they allowed Comey to do something they didn't allow anybody else to do. This is is the problem. The problem is the system is rigged on these guys side, okay? It's got to stop. Is Comey going to be shackled? Is Comey going to be strip searched? Why? Comey's there for felonies. Navarro and Bannon. Hey, look, I never whined about this at all. It is what it is. And when I went to prison, the audience knows that it is what it is. But I'll be damned if we're going to sit here and allow Comey, who is a total scumbag. And you already see this deck is already. They've already stacked this deck right now. Why is Comey not coming in from outside like everybody has to. There's no way of taking you below. And I don't want to hear security. You don't think there was higher security at taking out Steve Bannon or Peter Navarro, right? Then James Comey, Mike Davis, how could we have allowed this to happen? Comey's in court right now, just pled. I think he just pled not guilty.

[Mike Davis (The Viceroy)]

Yeah, that's a good question. I just pinged a bunch of people at the doj, top people at the doj and I'll try to find out why this happened.

[Steve Bannon]

The DOJ runs this deal. If the, if anybody at the DOJ said that was fine. That is not good with the Warren posse, is not good with maga. We want Comey to get the exact same treatment. Look at President Trump. Did they give President Trump. Remember the circus? You had Rachel Maddow and they had the deck chairs like they were. They had their directors. You think that you were shooting Apocalypse Now? Right. You had nine directors, chairs are sitting up there drinking espressos, cappuccinos, opining about President Trump. They took his mugshot, everything like that. President Trump didn't get any favors. Nobody around President Trump. Hell, Tom Barrack. Tom Barrack's in the Middle east right now as ambassador to Turkey and a special envoy to the Levant. They dragged him out to Riverside and threw him in a federal jail for 14 days before he'd even dealt with him in one of the roughest jails out there in general population. What they did is go out of their way to try to break the Trump people. And they're already given a special deal to Comey. I don't understand this, Mike. I thought this was awesome. And Comey's there for two felonies. This is what's so outrageous about it. We were there for essentially a civil charge, like advanced form of jaywalking. Right. We had to go through the whole thing and the cost of it, the cost of security, the cost of the lawyers, and have the media try to be little pricks like they always are. Not that I mattered. Not that it mattered to me. I think I gave better than I got. But it's about the process and about how it's done. Mike Davis, the Viceroy, Your thoughts?

[Mike Davis (The Viceroy)]

Yeah, I'm with you, Steve. If they gave special treatment to James Comey, they're already off to a very bad starts on this case. They. They need to treat James.

[Steve Bannon]

They gave heads, they gave bad. They gave bad treatment. The media is all out there. Data told, hey, he's rolling up here is going to be a podium, and he slips in like the rat he is under the COVID of darkness. Right. I'm sure they're going to say, mike, oh, it's security concern. Hell with that. You don't think it was a bigger security concern for Steve Bannon in D.C. remember, I was in the heart of the district until Trump sent the troops. A very unsafe place, was it not, sir? You can see I'm telling you, this is what we're trying to take apart. The deep state works in unison. Mike Davis has taught us this lesson over the years. And now you're seeing it here again. Right, of how the deck is stacked because the way the apparatus works right below the surface. Right, right below the surface. Where the court, with the federal Marshal, with the U.S. marshals, with the, with. With the people that actually run the day to day of the courts with the FBI. Because the FBI, as you know, I mean, they know everybody. This is where they. This is one of the biggest courts they work out of, is it not, sir?

[Mike Davis (The Viceroy)]

Yeah, this is a big one. This is the Eastern District of Virginia. It covers the CIA, it covers the Pentagon, it covers the suburbs of Washington, D.C. and you know, in Alexandria, Virginia, which used to be part of DC. So I. You're making very good points, Steve. If they're letting James Comey slither out of this courthouse and not face this, it's very interesting. It's a very, very interesting.

[Steve Bannon]

In that face.

[Mike Davis (The Viceroy)]

Very interesting approach.

[Steve Bannon]

I tell you someone who's not going to be digging this. I'm just making a random observation. I think that is the guide that we continue because Article 3 has taught us this about the Article 2 powers. The individual that has, in the proper interpretation of the Article 2 powers, the chief law enforcement officer and chief magistrate of this constitutional republic. I am sure he is not going to be digging this, okay? Just not. Comey should be treated just like Navarro and just like Bannon. I'm not asking for any worse treatment for Comey. He should be shackled, strip searched. Hey, like I said, it was what it was. If that's the process, let's just do the process. No whining, no, there's no tears in the war room. Right? But no, to have a scumbag like this and, and, and Comey's a little frail. You know, he comes out with the Taylor Swift thing. He goes to Taylor Swift concerts, He knows all the songs by heart. I mean, come on, man. He's a grown ass man. What are you doing? He's kind of a weird, weird guy, right? Not just sanctimonious. But there's something, I don't know. I don't want to get crude, but it's. There's something about this guy that, let me say this. He's not going to handle being in a cell block in a federal prison for a long period of time. That's not going to turn out well for him. He's just. The cut of his jib is just not right. But Mike Davis, this is the way the deep state works. It's this interlocking connectivity of intelligence and law enforcement and the judiciary.

[Mike Davis (The Viceroy)]

Sir. Yeah. And this, this right here is precisely why I have very publicly called for the special grand jury in Fort Pierce, Florida, where you have a grand jury of real Americans in real America. You have outstanding.

So down a verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.

[Mike Davis (The Viceroy)]

Federal judges like Judge Eileen Cannon, who calls bulls and strikes and treats defendants equally, you don't have special treatment down in Fort Pierce, Florida, because a judge wouldn't allow special treatment. So this was a misstep. If the Trump Justice Department allowed James Comey to avoid public scrutiny like any other defendant, this was a misstep.

[Steve Bannon]

Yeah. This is, by the way, when they said, hey, you got to walk through. And they had a mob outside with no crowd control. They had a mob outside where I turned myself in to the FBI. And then they had a huge mob in media, in media outside, both of them. I said, if that's the process, that's the process. Let's roll, let's just go. It's game day, let's hit it, right? But here Comey, you already see special treatment. They slid him in, in through one of these Sally ports or through one of these underground parking decks to get him in, to get him in with no media scrutiny. So there wouldn't be that image of Comey forever walking into federal court being the first FBI director, the real FBI director, the acting Director Gray, if memory serves me correctly, during Watergate, I think Patrick Gray, who had been acting FBI director, was actually indicted. Those charges were dropped later. But Comey is the first full time FBI director to ever be indicted. And that photo of him going into the court would live in infamy for him. And that's why they avoided it. And somebody must have signed off on it. And this is okay with Pam and the folks and every, you know, we have a very, I keep saying this all the time. We have a very tenuous grasp on the Justice Department. We have no grasp on the judiciary of a very tenuous grasp on the Justice Department and even less on the FBI. FBI, we got two guys over there. This is why I keep saying, not just about they should have a recess. So recess appointments. President Trump could get his whole team over there. But you have to be going in this thing and blowing out like everybody if, if this was signed off by justice, everybody associated with this, I don't know, to me, should be at 5 o' clock today, boom, you're gone. Right? And particularly if they didn't let this, the high command up the chain of command, know exactly what they were cooking up because what they wanted to avoid. And they're going to be, they're going to be laughing, hey, the Trump guys, we pulled one off them. They don't want a historic photograph this is why we start the show. I'd even do a cold open. I didn't even do my long open, right? Why I wanted the camera to go right there. It's going to be historic. At 10 o', clock, he's going to show up.

[Mike Davis (The Viceroy)]

Boom.

[Steve Bannon]

You're going to have a historic figure of the first FBI director ever indicted on felony charges, Right? And you're going to see this historic thing. And that'll be there. They'll be there forever. This is the equivalent of Hillary Clinton in the Benghazi hearings. You remember, they had her take the. Trey Gowdy, the goofball allowed her to take the oath because she had to be sworn. It was sworn testimony. She didn't do it in front of the cameras because I was running Breitbart at the time. I said, hey, we're having a historic thing. Hillary Clinton being sworn in, in front of the world on all about her lies and misrepresentation about Benghazi. It didn't happen. I said, what happened? They negotiated. They negotiated to have her, to have her swear in before she walked out and took a seat at the table. This is what they do because this is all negotiated. Your surrender and your arraignment is kind of negotiated before the lawyers. Now there's a process. And of course, Navarro and Bannon are going to be retail right here. You're getting a wholesale deal. Mike Davis, and this is just not acceptable. We needed that photograph today. This is why, folks, when I say it's the first step now in the official journey, because been working for years on this, you see Mike Davis all over it. Every day is going to be a struggle. Every day is going to be a struggle. Let me go back. This is why I say Boris Epstein is one of the great heroes in this country. Why he put the team together. As you remember, Mike, it wasn't easy fielding a team, right? To get the team Boris put together, he had to work in 21. It was very hard to put together a team given that they were trying to. They were trying to destroy Trump. Even, even Rupert Murdoch sent that email out to the Fox senior executive. We're going to make him a non person. Well, he became a non person. As Eric Trump told us yesterday, in the business community, in the commercial community, in the finance community. And that means big law firms are not going to retain you. I know this because some of my lawyers all worked at big firms that came back to me and said, hey, we love you, but our corporate clients are going to quit because you're Trump's guy. And we ain't represent anybody associated with President Trump. So this is negotiated. And here's my point, is that somehow somebody in a position of authority, either with the court, with the judge, with doj, with the FBI, bent the knee to Comey and allow Comey to slip in here like the snake he is, like the vermin he is, like the rat he is to slip in here and not have to face the cameras. Now he's going to walk out and go to the podium and, you know, pontificate. I'm sure if he does that, otherwise we'll slip out of here. But this is a major screw up already, sir.

[Mike Davis (The Viceroy)]

I would say this. James Comey helped lead the biggest scandal in American history. He helped politicize and weaponize law enforcement and intel agencies to take out a leading presidential candidate to help the other. And then when they failed, they tried to take out a President of the United States and then when he left office with the evidence that they did this, they tried to destroy him and throw him in prison and bankrupt him and throw him off the ballot. Right. So this is the biggest scandal in American history. This indictment of James Comey. Comey is the beginning and not the end of justice for James Comey. I'm going to push very forcefully like I have for three years for another indictment down in the Southern District of Florida for conspiracy against rights. But I would say this, I agree with you, Steve, Steve, that's if anyone on the planet should have been per walked and faced the humiliation, the shame, like every other criminal defendant does, it should have been James Comey. This was, this is, I, I defend everything in Trump world. I can't defend this one.

[Steve Bannon]

This, this is, this is, this is. I was proud to go in. There was a misdemeanor first off, number two, all of those rats on the committee and the staff all crawled on their belly over to the White House in the closing days of Biden's illegitimate regime and got an auto pen pardon. They knew they were criminals. They knew, they criminalized that committee to come after it. They had criminal activity. Otherwise. Why did the staff, by the way, the staff, the chief of staff over there perjured herself, the chief counsel perjured herself in my trial, right? Bald face lied about the whole process. A bald faced lie, we knew was a bald faced lie. Of course, the Trump appointed judge, when that is getting the information in, that's a tale for another day. But my point is they knew that they were breaking the law and coming after us, criminalizing it because later they Crawled on their belly. Not just Cheney in that crowd and Shifty Shift that all got auto pen pardons and Liz Cheney, but the staff got pardons and we had to face it. I was proud to go outside there, but I will tell you, it's quite intimidating. It's meant to be intimidating. It's meant to break you. You've got the world's media out there, and they're not there to help you. Okay? Now today, for some reason, and we'll get to the bottom of that reason, but I can guarantee you the chief magistrate and chief law enforcement officer of the United States, I don't think was in the loop on this. And clearly the media was not in the loop on this. Our own Brian Glenn, in fact. Can we get. Is Brian still down there? Okay. Where did he go?

[Mike Davis (The Viceroy)]

Hey, Steve.

[Steve Bannon]

Okay.

[Mike Davis (The Viceroy)]

Hey, Steve.

[Steve Bannon]

Yeah.

[Mike Davis (The Viceroy)]

Yes, sir, I have the answer. It was there. There was a summons issued instead of an arrest warrant. I think that was an oversight. And so they couldn't have him. They could not have Comey surrender with the FBI when there was a summons instead of an arrest warrant. I, I think it was an administrative mistake, and it was not intentional.

[Ben Ferguson]

But.

[Steve Bannon]

Even unintentional is not that. That is.

[Mike Davis (The Viceroy)]

I hear you, man.

[Steve Bannon]

Okay? That's the way I want to start.

[Mike Davis (The Viceroy)]

I hear you, brother. I hear you. No, no.

[Steve Bannon]

And I'm not blamed. Listen, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not. I'm not blaming people over there because, look, they're swamped the Senate Democrats, and this is why. And Mike, I had you on back in August Bethune and even JD's President of the Senate. We should have gone to a real recess, Right? A real recess. And President Trump should then, because Mike Johnson said, I'll do it as speaker. Not a problem. The Senate will refuse to do it. John Thune refused to do it. Why did they refuse to do it? To go into real recession. They don't trust Trump. One of the biggest aspects, I keep saying that the Republican Party and the players here are just. They see Trump as a passing summer storm. They're just waiting to tap him along until he's gone. And then they go back to, you know, Ted Cruz already. The Daily Telegraph already had a. Had a big story about how Ted Cruz is already gearing up for 2028. They all want to go back to the norm. Okay. By not having those recess appointments. Mike, you know how under the gun and how overworked these folks are. You also know in the, in the Eastern District of Virginia, what we had to do there to make sure you actually had some people on the case. But this is the kind of technical thing that happens that the deep state knows. Don't get me wrong. I think obviously somebody knew this, knew the difference between a restaurant because I had to show up at the FBI, turn myself in, go through the whole FBI process. Then they took me over to a federal court, shackled, I might add, shackled to be arraigned by, in front of, at that time, a magistrate judge, not, not the actual judge over my trial. So, yeah, this was a technical issue.

[Mike Davis (The Viceroy)]

But let me say.

[Steve Bannon]

So jump in.

[Mike Davis (The Viceroy)]

You're the lawyer.

[Steve Bannon]

I'm just. I just play one on. I just play one on war. Go ahead.

[Mike Davis (The Viceroy)]

Let me come to Lindsey Halligan's defense here because she's a good American patriot. She's been Trump, by the way.

[Steve Bannon]

I'm not, I'm not. Hang on, hang on, hang on. You. You're my lawyer. I'm not trying to go off to Lindsey. I think she's a superstar for jumping in here at the last second and getting this done. Because talk to people about the time limit we had here. We were under the gun. People were just prepared. Oh, yeah, well, you know, it ran out. You couldn't do it. We had that Tuesday, the ticking clock. Lindsey Halligan is a hero to me. Right. For stepping in here and taking the responsibility. Go ahead, sir.

[Mike Davis (The Viceroy)]

So before we, before we dump on this more, I would just say this. Lindsay Halligan got sent to be the U.S. attorney and she got zero help in this deep state office. She had to run this indictment and get it filed under the five year statute limitations. Like you said, she was under the gun and she got zero help to do this. And she had a grand jury that was resisting her on perjury. They had yet a grand jury that went along with false statements and a grand jury that went along with obstruction of a congressional investigation. But this is a huge office, right? This is an important office in the Eastern District of Virginia. And you can't have. There's not one assistant US Attorney. It's not the US Attorney's job to do this right. The US Attorney is more of the political head of the office. They're the people who go run for Senate after they're the U.S. attorney. They're not the people who are actually in courts. They're not the people who are actually in the grain. Lindsey.

[Steve Bannon]

Looking at the paperwork, this is where what, the Bailiff and the U.S. marshals. This is my point. The deep state is always going to protect Their own. We're to these people, alien invaders. Okay, That's. They, they control the apparatus, they control the system. This, I kept saying, the interlocking nature of, of the courts, of the bailiffs, of all the people that actually run the administration of the courts, in the court itself. The paperwork behind the scene. The FBI, they work with these people every day. Like you said, Langley is in this district. The Pentagon is in this district.

[Brian Glenn]

Right.

[Steve Bannon]

Pentagon City and all the contractors. So this, this district is. I think that if you got Southern district of New York and D.C. as the two most important. I think even this Northern Virginia in this federal courthouse to me is as important as, as more important than like LA or Chicago. Hey, Mike, can you hang on a second? We are going to take a break. We're going to pull, we're going to pull out of the break. If that rat Comey, you know, comes out to, to pontificate, the viceroy is with us. We got Brian Glenn down there somewhere in the scrum. We're to going through some of the, the deep state, by the way. They're, they're powerful. This is why it's so hard to take it apart. This is why no one's. Except Trump's ever tried. This is why they try to destroy Trump and they're still trying to destroy him. It's game on. Hey, they're not going to, they ain't going to back off. You got two hammerhead mix here, Davis and Bannon. They're not backing us off though. Us in prison could care less. We are dedicated. Dedicated to destroy this system you see in front of you because it's rigged against the average American and only works for the deep state and the elite financiers and corporatists that back it up. Take a short commercial break. We're gonna leave you with the right stuff. I'll get jacked up on the music if I need to get jacked up anymore. My warpath.

[Mike Davis (The Viceroy)]

Coffee.

[Steve Bannon]

Mike Davis is with us. The Viceroy, Brian Glenn is on the scene and we're gonna return to the federal courthouse. Oh, here, I'll tell you what, let's pull out right now. Hang on. There's Comey right there. Let's. We're not going to go this break. He didn't even come to the media. See him right there. We're just going to follow this. So Mike Comey did not come to the sticks. He didn't come to the microphone. No comment.

[Leon Neyfak]

When I told people I was making a podcast about Benghazi, nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked why Benghazi?

[Mike Davis (The Viceroy)]

The truth became a web of lies.

[Leon Neyfak]

It's almost a dirty word, one that connotes conspiracy theory.

[Steve Bannon]

Will we ever get the truth about the Benghazi massacre?

[Leon Neyfak]

Bad faith, political warfare, and frankly, bullshit.

[Brian Glenn]

We kill the ambassador just to cover something up. You put two and two together.

[Leon Neyfak]

Was it an overblown distraction or a sinister conspiracy?

[Mike Davis (The Viceroy)]

Benghazi is a Rosetta Stone for everything.

[Ben Ferguson]

That'S been going on for the last 20 years.

[Leon Neyfak]

I'm Leon Naifak from Prologue Projects and Pushkin Industries. This is Fiasco Benghazi.

[Fiasco Benghazi Narrator]

What difference at this point does it make?

[Steve Bannon]

Yeah, that's right. Lock her up.

[Steve Bannon]

There'S James. You're seeing a live James Comey right there. Brian Glenn, are you on the scene?

[Brian Glenn]

Hey, Steve, I am. Can you hear me?

[Steve Bannon]

So, yeah. What's happening here?

[Brian Glenn]

Can you hear me? Okay, real quickly, I can hear you. It would appears to, from this position. Okay. That Comey did walk out towards, around the building. I'm assuming towards a parking garage, at least from what I hear from some of the people here. But what's really interesting, we talk about the amount of support and the anti Trumpers. I found one person here, Steve, one person who is here to support not only President Trump, but also what's happening with the prosecution and the justification of what's going on today. This is Kim. You live in the area. I looked around earlier. Steve was asking where I was at. I was trying to hunt you down and I met you. What does it mean to you to come here and see Comey slither out of here, not make this public entrance like we've seen other Republicans come out in handcuffs, the whole bit. What. What did you come here to see?

[Fiasco Benghazi Narrator]

That's huge upsetting. Huge upsetting. To see Navarro put in handcuffs, to see Bannon harassed and put in handcuffs and jailed. Bacomi.

[Propane Energy Advertiser]

Nothing.

[Fiasco Benghazi Narrator]

Slid it out around the corner. That's maddening to me. That's not justice.

[Brian Glenn]

And Steve, I would imagine people watching us at home and listening to you guys really break this down, are just as angry as she is. And in fact, that we want to see accountability. We want to see the pageantry. And if we take a look at. And if I could explain to the security around this courthouse, I wouldn't say, given the elevated risk of everything right now in our security society, the crime, the lawlessness, how, you know, violent the left has become. I don't see a lot of police presence here right now.

[Fiasco Benghazi Narrator]

No. And the police, you do see, they're on their phones. They're not really watching for us. And I don't. Protected. But then again, I don't feel protected in Alexandria at all ever.

[Brian Glenn]

Yes, Steve.

[Steve Bannon]

Brian, can you go reposition yourself? I think. I don't. I'm not so sure that was Comey. I think we're still waiting for Comey to come out.

[Brian Glenn]

Okay, okay, let me. That was just some of the things that I heard as well. Okay, we will. We'll try to get a better position. Hey, Mike, just wanted to relay to you.

[Steve Bannon]

Mike. Mike Davis. Yeah, yeah, fine, perfect. Just let's get back reposition. Hey, Mike Davis. Walk me through why. Why does he have a summons versus after surrender to the FBI?

[Mike Davis (The Viceroy)]

That's a good question. I think it was just an administrative mistake. You know, when you're, when you're sent into a U.S. attorney's office and your first day on the job, you're trying to single handedly figure out where your office is and where the bathroom is. And then you have to indict the former FBI director because no one else in the building will help you. You know, I, I'll give Lindsey a pass on this one, but, but, but.

[Steve Bannon]

But I know I'll give him a pass. But here's my point. This stuff is very choreographed right in the, in the process. And I'm saying, like, even whatever you have the night before, everybody's lawyers talk. Like for instance, we know exactly what was going to happen. Although they did change it up radically behind the scenes and lied about what they were going to do to make it worse for me. But I, I didn't care. I knew this was going to be. Once you turn yourself in, they can do with, they basically can do what with you? What they want. Right, but the difference between, why, what is a summons versus saying you're going to come in and turn yourself in to be arrested, you just tell the audience what the difference is.

[Mike Davis (The Viceroy)]

Yeah, summons is you're going to show up, they just send you a summons, and on your own personal recognizance, you're going to show up to court. Like if you, that's, you know, that's. How many defendants operate, particularly with misdemeanors, unless you're Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro, then they send the SWAT team, but with a, an arrest warrant, that's where the FBI actually goes and arrests you and takes you into court. So.

[Steve Bannon]

Yeah, but here's what I'm saying. If you get summons, if you get summoned though, you'd show up at the court to be arraigned, the whole process. Because when I turn myself into the FBI, that process takes an hour. I mean, they get, they got a, they, you know, they book you, they take your mug shot, they do everything right. It's a whole process, just like President Trump went through. If you don't turn yourself in, the FBI, you're just. Summons to court is comey not going to go through the process at all with the FBI. And my point is the night before with security, and I'm kind of shocked there's not any security outside of here. That was kind of the tell. I figured at about 20 after that, you may not be seeing Comey walk in there, but in the choreograph between the lawyers negotiating and justice and the prosecutor, wouldn't it have come up that he wasn't going to turn himself into the FBI? He actually wasn't going to be arrested, he was just going to be arraigned. Wouldn't that have come up and somebody go, well, hang on, how is that happening? We definitely want him arrested because he's got to be. All the paperwork and processing and fingerprinting and mug shots that the FBI do is not going to be done here, sir.

[Mike Davis (The Viceroy)]

Well, I don't want to rat out a source, but according to a very senior source at the Justice Department, and I'm going to let this source remain anonymous, this summons versus versus arrest warrant was discovered too late to do anything about it. So that, that's where, that's where we are. That's why not, that's why we're not seeing a James Comey perplex.

[Steve Bannon]

Okay, okay, okay. Walk us through. Then what happens. Comey still there. I think he's already pled not guilty. So must have, he's must have exited the building through, I believe through the, through the, through the sally port or where a car could pull in. But we'll stick around and see. Walk us through what happens after today he's arraigned. What will have happened? They give, they give him a preliminary day for some preliminary hearings or what's the process from here?

[Mike Davis (The Viceroy)]

Yeah, I mean he can invoke the speedy trial act and demand a trial very fast within several months. And they, this is not a complicated case. You know, he might demand some discovery. I don't know what discovery he would be able to get. I mean it's pretty clear cut. He, he testified in 2017 that he wasn't the source of, of leaks on the biggest scandal in American history to my former boss, chairman Chuck Grassley. He was under oath. He's lucky he didn't get charged with perjury. He got charged with false statements and obstruction of a congressional proceeding. And then when Ted Cruz asked him again in 2020, he reaffirmed he knew it was a lie. I mean, or the evidence is going to show he knew it was a lie. I think this is a slam dunk case and if it were in a district where you actually had fair jurors, this would be a no brainer. But I would not be surprised here in The Eastern District of Virginia. If it's a hung jury or if James Comey walks, I mean he shouldn't, it should be a slam dunk case. But to put, we shall see. You're dealing with this.

[Steve Bannon]

Unfortunately.

[Mike Davis (The Viceroy)]

If you're in D.C. right across Potomac river, you don't even get indicted. Judge Jeanine Perro can't even get people indicted when they violent, violently attack people. That's how out of whack D.C. is. Eastern District of Virginia is a little bit less crazy, but not much.

[Steve Bannon]

Halligan and Pam are doing yeoman's work because I want to mention you just, you just gave the dates there. Correct me if I'm wrong. Back like today we have Pam Bondi is the Attorney General of the United States selected by the chief magistrate and chief law enforcement officer Donald J. Trump, who, who has the office of the President and that's why he appointed her. Also the, the FBI. The FBI director is now Cash Patel instead of Christopher Wray. But back during this time, Christopher Wray was the head of the FBI. Bill Barr was the head of the Attorney General. And this all could have taken place in 2020, could it have not? We had the FBI, we had all the information we need. Could, couldn't this have happened under, in President Trump's first term?

[Mike Davis (The Viceroy)]

Absolutely. Chris Wray was President Trump's biggest mistake. And President Trump got forced to pick Chris Ray. I remember when I was the chief counsel on the, for nominations on the Senate Judiciary Committee. I started my first day on the job was two days before Chris Wray's hearing. So I inherited Chris Wray's nomination. And I remember everyone was spun up, even the Republicans were spun up saying Trump was colluding with the Russians. And I, I asked a simple question. This is after I rolled off my clerkship for Gorsuch to get him set up on the Supreme Court, had to go back to Colorado, move myself stuff across the country and, and start my job. And I simply asked this question. I said what did Trump collude to do? Like what? Collude to do what? And people like if you just, if you, they had people so spun up on the, on the Senate Judiciary Committee, if you just asked that question, then you were a Russian assets, right? And so, and then they, they were trying to pass the Mueller bill where the President of the United States could not fire the FBI director. To McConnell's credit, he blocked that. You know, McConnell did great things on judges. He did things that have angered us. But to his credit, he blocked that bill. But that's the mindset that even all the conservative Republicans had back in 2017 when Chris Wray got jammed down President Trump's throat After, after President Trump fired Comey. And so that's what we're up against. That's what we're up against with Chris Wright. He, he protected, he protect, he protected the deep state for years and years and years. And thank God we have Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche and Stanley Woodward as the number three, and Cash Patel and Dan Bongino. It, I mean, Cash and Dan every day are, are just going through the FBI, going through back offices and vaults and vaults within vaults to find these documents.

[Steve Bannon]

Yeah, it's still, it's still, it's still whistleblowers and we're not getting our hands on any documents. They're suppressing the documents. They said the other day, ben, Dan Bongino says, I don't have control of this. The whistleblower came to him on the wiretapping of, as Senator Hawley calls it, the wiretapping of the senators, by the way, I think it's pretty evident Comey slipped out. He did. He look, he is looking for immediate dismissal of this. Mike Davis on malicious prosecution. Your thoughts on that? That's one of the things. He entered and he slipped out. He slipped out through a, under the COVID of darkness, they allowed him to slip out. I don't think you're gonna see Comey. That was Comey's family that, that left a few minutes ago that we followed. What, what about.

[Mike Davis (The Viceroy)]

James Comey, the most malicious prosecutor in American history is complaining about malicious prosecution. Remember what the Democrats said when we, when we said there was malicious prosecution against President Trump? Well, they would say, well, the grand jury indicted. So even if the prosecutor was malicious, the, the grand jury of their peers is the one who brought the, the indictment and not the prosecutor. And so why does that same argument apply here? Look, I would say to these lawfare Democrats, go to hell. Right? You, you put Trump, his top aides like Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro and Jeff Clark and others, his supporters on January 6th were persecuted. You got parents, Christians. These lawfare Democrats put Republicans through hell. And they did it for eight years, going back to Crossfire Hurricane. So these lawfare Democrats can go to hell. Justice is coming. Retribution is a crucial compart of a component of justice. It makes the victims whole. It serves as a powerful deterrent. James Comey can go to hell. And guess what? Even if, even if this Eastern District of Virginia jury or this Democrat judge lets him skate, which could happen because you're, you're not dealing with real Americans in real America. I want the process to be the punishment for this piece of garbage. James Comey.

[Steve Bannon]

Mike, real quickly on the, on the journey, we're taking the first step today. I just want to give the audience a realistic because I know everybody's very aggressive. People are working nonstop on this. But just give us your, your, how does this, how does this roll out over the next couple of months in the best way that you know your best thinking? How's this roll out?

[Mike Davis (The Viceroy)]

Like I said, the special grand jury, it just got set up by the court in Fort Pierce, Florida, in the Southern district of Florida. The Fort Pierce division, Judge Cannon is one of the judges there. Hopefully she will get this case because she's very familiar with this case from, from Jack Smith's case. And I think the grand jury will be up and running by January. And I think I hope and I'm going to push very publicly, advocate very publicly that that special grand jury in Fort Pierce takes all of these consolidated conspiracy cases against President Trump as top aides and his supporters and justice will get delivered.

[Steve Bannon]

Mike Davis, the Viceroy where do people go to Article 3 now more than ever, you need to become part of the war in posse needs to become part of the Article 33 project. Where do folks go, sir?

[Mike Davis (The Viceroy)]

I was going to say, Steve, if you thought I was a media whore before today, just wait. It's going to be I'm going to make damn sure these people go to prison and I'm going to do it very publicly. So article3project.org article number three project.org you can follow us on social media, donate, but only what you can afford and take action, action, action, action, as we always say, is the war rooms war room posse's superpower.

[Steve Bannon]

Mike Davis, the viceroy, thank you so much for joining us today.

[Mike Davis (The Viceroy)]

Appreciate you. Thank you.

[Steve Bannon]

Got a lot of work ahead. Let's go. I've got Navarro at the White House. Let's go to Peter. Peter, only got a couple of minutes. I'm going to hold you through the break. But James Comey got special treatment. Navarro, they dragged you, they shackled you like a dog, then they dragged you into a to an arraignment. James Comey got VIP treatment for felonies. Yours were misdemeanors. How's that set with you, sir?

[Mike Davis (The Viceroy)]

Pisses me off, Steve.

[Steve Bannon]

And I think we've seen the last.

[Mike Davis (The Viceroy)]

Vestige now of the deep state inside the Justice Department. As Mike pointed out earlier that this one somehow got by.

[Steve Bannon]

It's like, what's supposed to happen is.

[Mike Davis (The Viceroy)]

For comey, mugshot, arrest, you know, all.

[Steve Bannon]

That stuff, but it didn't happen. Hang on. Don't, don't. Hang on. Hang, hang on, hang on. We're not making any excuses. The guys that set this up, the bailiffs and all the people in the courts, everything like that, they knew exactly what they were doing when they allowed this to be a summit. So look, we're big boys and girls here. We're about winning in victory. Today. Today. Today.

[Mike Davis (The Viceroy)]

I agree.

[Steve Bannon]

Today was today. Today. Hey, hey, hey. And DOJ and I know Mike and God bless him, he works these people and he's a great man and he's gonna make the this happen. But no, we got it. We got to, we got to, we got to own this one. This is how hard it's going to be to take. This is just one small administrative matter, but in the narrative building, huge, okay?

[Mike Davis (The Viceroy)]

Huge.

[Steve Bannon]

And quite frankly, it's just not good enough right now. It's not good enough. And I hope, I hope that the chief law enforcement officer and the chief magistrate of these United States of America, I hope his head is blowing up because it should be not acceptable. This is going to be historic. It was going to be historic. The only FBI director, not an acting director, the only FBI director in the history of this republic indicted on two felonies about enduring his job, not anything personally. This is about doing his job. Indicted on two felonies. Okay, we're going to take a short break. We got Peter Navarro at the White House. Brian Glenn's going back over the White House with the big antifa roundtable today. Short commercial break, Return of the Worm in a moment. You know what your customers are doing right this second? The exact same thing. You are listening to me, which, let's.

[Mike Davis (The Viceroy)]

Be honest, is kind of flattering.

[Steve Bannon]

I was making a podcast about Benghazi, nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or.

[Mike Davis (The Viceroy)]

Just asked why Benghazi the truth became.

[Leon Neyfak]

A web of lies from prologue projects and Pushkin Industries. This is Fiasco Benghazi.
