What historical context surrounds the attacks on Phyllis Schlafly?

Stephen K. Bannon 0:02

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

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. Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Babb.

It's Saturday, 1 November, in the year of our Lord, 2025. We're a couple of days away from an election. I'm going to get to all that, break it all down. We've got folks on here to talk about the ballots in Georgia. Julie Kelly's going to join us about the impeachment of Boasburg. We're going to get into geopolitics, capital markets, Russia, China, all of it. And we do have a cold open for you as we have every day. But I've got to hold it because I have a very special guest who's under a time crunch. Ed Martin, the head of the de-weaponization, I guess, of the government program over at the main justice and also the pardons art joins us. And he's going out to an event that's always been one of my favorite events.

Ed, I've got you on here because we're going to have Mark Hemingway on in a moment from the great The Federalist, that new site Sean Davis and the team put together. It's just outstanding. On one of my favorite people and more importantly, one of President Trump's. favorite people. It's Phyllis Schlafly. You're going out today to the Eagle Forum. Tell me about this article Hemingway's got up. It's about the National Review still continuing to attack Phyllis. You knew better than anybody. In fact, it was a big article done nine years ago by Julia Hahn when I ran Breitbart about this fight. Ed Martin.

Ed Martin 2:17

Hey, great to be with you, Steve. You know, I'm going to give a speech tonight at Eagle Council in St. Louis. And the topic is, you know, it's the choice, Phyllis's choice and Donald Trump. She picked him early. She believed in him. And as you said, every time I've been with him, he will bring up Phyllis. He loves to say to people, Phyllis was with me. She never wavered. He gave a speech at her funeral. And that's the phrase he used. She never wavered. She never wavered in her whole career. And the common denominator for her and him is they just love America. And so what Hemingway captured, Mark's a great writer and insightful, is the attack of National Review. It's longstanding, though. There was always a fight between the globalists and the big money guys and the Eastern elites, the establishment, and people like Phyllis Schlafly.

And you covered this in that movie a few years ago where you were talking, you interviewed Phyllis in a documentary. And at the heart of it, actually- was the great divide in the 1960s and 70s. And Reagan was hanging by the balance. And he was going to go with the common, you know, kind of conventional wisdom, what the big bankers and lawyers wanted in New York, which was to give the Panama Canal over the Panamanians. And Phyllis Schlafly was an army of one saying, what are you talking about? We built it.

How does the discussion frame the current political landscape?

Ed Martin 3:31

Our people died for it. And more importantly, we believe in the Monroe Doctrine. And we say in our hemisphere, just like Venezuela is learning, in our hemisphere, don't screw around or you're going to find out. So she squared off with Buckley. And the inside story, Steve, is fantastic. It's like a TMZ episode. She had been a prominent kind of ally of his on social issues, conservative issues, although he betrayed the conservatives by blaming the Birchers and everybody for all sorts of things. But still, she was an ally that night when she destroyed him in a one-hour debate on the Panama Canal where she showed he was in the tank for the lawyers and the big bankers. When it was over, when it was over, the tradition was Buckley with a flourish would, especially for a woman, would take you to the curb in New York City and hail a cab.
