Transcription

Chapter 1: What recent legal challenges are being faced by Trump and his associates?

0.031 - 27.909 Stephen K. Bannon

James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, both targets of President Trump, be dismissed. The U.S. District Judge concluded yesterday that the prosecutor who secured the charges against them, Interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan, was unlawfully appointed. The Attorney General's authority to appoint an interim U.S. attorney lasts for a total of 120 days.

27.929 - 55.8 Stephen K. Bannon

The judge concluded that Halligan has been unlawfully serving since September 22nd. Comey was indicted September 25th. James charged October 9th. Halligan is a former Trump aide and personal lawyer with No prosecutorial experience. She secured the indictments of Comey and James over objections from career prosecutors.

56.301 - 72.017 Stephen K. Bannon

Comey had pleaded not guilty to lying to Congress and obstruction, while James pleaded not guilty to bank fraud. The indictments were dismissed without prejudice, which means they could theoretically be refiled by a lawful judge. prosecutor.

72.798 - 91.723 Stephen K. Bannon

But Comey's attorney said in a statement that his reading of the ruling suggests the case cannot be refiled because the five year statute of limitations expired on September 30th. Attorney General Pam Bondi vowed the Department of Justice would appeal the ruling.

92.003 - 114.691 Rachel

The appointments clause is more than a matter of etiquette or protocol. It is among the significant structural safeguards of the constitutional scheme. The clause not only serves as a bulwark against one branch aggrandizing its power at the expense of another, but also preserves another aspect of the Constitution's structural integrity by preventing the diffusion of the appointment power.

114.751 - 116.033 Rachel

Translate that for me.

116.013 - 116.794 Unknown

Oh, boy.

117.395 - 120.96 Rachel

Well, it was good. It was good. But put it in layman's terms.

Chapter 2: How was Lindsey Halligan's appointment deemed unlawful?

121.1 - 138.604 Unknown

Essentially, what Judge Curry is saying is that Congress has a role to play here. The courts have a role to play here and the executive branch has a role to play here. And the executive branch right now is trying to do not only its own job, but the jobs of the other two branches by installing loyalists without going through any of the normal legal process.

0

138.944 - 162.068 Unknown

There is a legal process in place that the president is required by law to follow to appoint lawyers. nominees to positions like u.s attorney lindsey halligan's role it's in the constitution that he has to consult the senate and get their approval for his nominees he was not able to go through that process successfully to get lindsey halligan appointed he didn't actually even try and

162.048 - 171.157 Unknown

And as a result of that, he decided that he was just going to install her in this workaround fashion, which is something that he has done with U.S. attorneys around the country.

0

171.217 - 189.996 Unknown

This is not the first case where this has come up, but it's the most high profile case where it's come up because Lindsay Halligan was put in this role specifically for the purpose of prosecuting James Comey and Letitia James. And now that whole strategy appears to be collapsing because it violates the Constitution, according to Judge Curry.

0

189.976 - 193.722 Unknown

I think that we have we cannot forget that the only reason we are here.

193.782 - 218.279 Rachel

OK, the reason that it would the things were brought in the first place is because Donald Trump wanted to go after James Comey and A.G. James. He has talked extensively about the fact that he believes that they are criminals, that he believes they have something coming to them. The facts be damned here. And I think that people have to understand that the president doesn't. care about the law.

218.64 - 232.47 Rachel

He doesn't care about process and protocol. He is trying to re-engineer the federal government, specifically the Justice Department, to serve his petty whims and grievances. That is it. That is what matters to Donald Trump.

233.142 - 250.687 Mike Howell

Yeah, that's absolutely right, and I'd go a step further. He only doesn't care about the law. He actually takes pleasure in ignoring it. In other words, he probably could have gotten, for example, approval to make changes to the East Wing, but he actually wanted to just bulldoze it without approval.

251.088 - 264.85 Mike Howell

He probably could be bringing and winning some cases that they are currently losing because he wants the theater of him not having to play by the rules. And in the area of criminal prosecutions, it's at its most dangerous.

Chapter 3: How do the indictments against Comey and James reflect on the legal system?

328.962 - 355.219 Mike Howell

cities and as training grounds and U.S. citizens for training of the United States military. So, Rachel, we wanted to do something pretty simple here. We wanted to just remind folks that they need to comply with the law and be reminded and also explain to members of the military that we have their backs, that we know what's going on as part of our job, accountability over the federal government.

355.199 - 375.165 John

Chaos is going on right now. What impact is this having? Not so much on Donald Trump, who said he's not running again, but on the Republican brand. It's just one thing after another, after one failure after another, one dismissal after another of these cases. Now they're going after.

0

Chapter 4: What are the implications of the judge's ruling on the indictments?

375.145 - 402.32 John

An American hero, Mark Kelly, with a guy like Pete Hegseth on the other side. Again, I'm just baffled by the political moves they're making. The politics actually comes back to Ratner's charts. All of this, all of this, going after Mark Kelly, going after James Comey, all the failures. As opposed to if you're a voter. What about me? What about that the inflation is still 3%?

0

402.36 - 411.233 John

What about that there are less jobs? And the more he's doing these stunts, these failing stunts, the more people are reminded, no, I don't think he can walk and chew gum at the same time.

0

411.493 - 430.28 Mike Howell

He's not solving the problem. I mean, I could go on and on, John Bolton, right? We could go on and on with people who have been targeted by this administration for political reasons. What's important And this is one of the reasons why I love doing your show. And Simone, I love talking to you is we have to we can never let the goalposts move.

0

430.74 - 439.993 Mike Howell

We always have to recognize that what we are seeing is the politicization of the Department of Justice by a wannabe dictator. And we can't let that become normal.

0

442.737 - 456.876 Steve

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.

Chapter 5: What role does the appointments clause play in judicial appointments?

456.916 - 464.289 Steve

The people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.

0

464.309 - 474.306 Unknown

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

0

474.286 - 484.615 Steve

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. Bann.

493.642 - 515.255 Steve

Tuesday, 25 November, Year of Our Lord 2025. Let's get right into it because we're packed again today with all the important issues before us, before the Trump administration. Julie Kelly joins us by phone. Julie, you've seen the meltdown on MSNBC, but they understand that the Their strategic advantage is a radical legal system.

515.656 - 535.358 Steve

All the big law firms have been radicalized, the judiciary, particularly the first level of federal judges. Let's say you're about what you're hearing, and particularly I think you're covering Boasburg again today. You're going to be with us live on camera later this afternoon after that. this whole contempt thing.

535.939 - 560.284 Steve

But Halligan being challenged, at least our prosecutions for Comey and for Letitia James being roadblock, you can see from Mark Elias and their team, this is their main driving force, that President Trump is giving illegitimate orders, President Trump is breaking the law, President Trump is a fascist, he's a dictator, and he has to be stopped by any means necessary. Julie Kelly, thoughts?

561.698 - 586.383 Mike Davis

I mean, look, Steve, you and I have talked about this. This is a direct result of Republicans in Congress doing nothing to rein in this rogue, out-of-control judicial branch who is almost on a weekly basis encroaching on the executive branch's authority to Separation of powers.

586.603 - 615.229 Mike Davis

I mean, to have a judge, and she's not the only judge who has said this, this Judge Curry, 77 years old, plucked out of South Carolina by the chief judge, an Obama appointee, I believe, chief judge of that circuit down there, to handle this case. So it took it out of the hands of the presiding judge in both instances. So she was picked solely to do exactly what she just did.

Chapter 6: How is the executive branch allegedly overstepping its bounds?

745.384 - 748.328 Steve

What can Jordan do and what must Jordan do, ma'am?

0

749.849 - 760.742 Mike Davis

They need to start impeachment proceedings. I mean, we've talked about this for months. I've talked about it for years related to the D.C. Circuit Court. You have Jeb Bosberg today, and this is what I'll be on.

0

761.245 - 790.493 Mike Davis

SPEAKING WITH YOU TONIGHT, HE HAS ORDERED A DEADLINE OF TODAY FOR THE ACLU, WHICH FILED THE LAWSUIT IN THE ALIEN ENEMIES ACT THAT LED TO THAT INFAMOUS, WHAT HE CALLED, ORAL ORDER TO RETURN PLANES TO THE UNITED STATES CARRYING ILLEGAL VENEZUELANS AND THE DOJ TO SUBMIT TO HIM A POTENTIAL WITNESS LIST FOR CONTEMPT HEARINGS THAT BOSBURG WILL HOLD TO TRY TO AGAIN CONCLUDE

0

791.097 - 817.813 Mike Davis

that the DOJ committed contempt of court when those claims were not returned. And we also know that Bosberg, and I believe that we are going to find out more of these gag orders or nondisclosure orders that he filed preventing cell phone companies from notifying sitting U.S. senators and members of the House that Jack Smith had subpoenaed their phone records.

0

818.654 - 839.044 Mike Davis

So not only were the phone records subpoenaed, Jeb Osberg stepped in and refused to allow these companies to notify their customers, sitting U.S. senators, that the government was taking their phone records. That is against the law. It also violates the feature debate clause of the Constitution.

839.644 - 848.357 Mike Davis

We saw this fight with the DOJ seized the FBI stole Representative Scott Perry's cell phone right out of his hand the day after the Mar-a-Lago raid.

849.215 - 877.855 Mike Davis

So what else do they need before it is so clear that these judges, whether it's Cameron Curry sitting in South Carolina, whether it's judges in Chicago, Maryland, California, certainly Washington, they're all paying attention to the political climate here. They recognize and understand that our Republican leadership in the House, now almost a year into their reign of power...

878.392 - 884.764 Mike Davis

have no plans to do anything to stop these judges or hold anyone accountable.

884.784 - 910.371 Steve

Julie, hang on for one second. I'm going to hold you quickly to a break. Mike Davis, the viceroy, also joins us. Mike, how the weaponization of the government has not been taken on, let's face it, all next in The War Room. Let me be blunt. Gold is up around 40% this year. That's not speculation. That's reality. And if a portion of your savings isn't diversified into gold, you're missing the boat.

Chapter 7: What is the significance of impeaching Judge Jeb Boasberg?

1186.394 - 1207.284 Mike Davis

and that the judges have the right and the authority over the Attorney General and the President to decide who is going to sit in that U.S. Attorney's Office in the Eastern District of Virginia. So, obviously, they're appealing this ruling, at least, and both were dismissed without prejudice, which means that the indictments can be brought again. The Comey one's a little trickier.

0

1207.324 - 1226.419 Mike Davis

I know Mike Davis has addressed this already with the statute of limitations. But this is the sort of mess that the DOJ and Trump administration is dealing with on their own, while Congress sits and does absolutely nothing to remedy this real constitutional crisis in our judiciary.

0

1226.439 - 1246.662 Steve

100%. And they know this to delay is to deny. They get this. They have all these delaying tactics. An overwhelming DOJ with all of this to buy time, to get closer to the midterms, to get closer to... to 28. They understand exactly what they're doing.

0

1246.682 - 1262.283 Steve

This is the most sophisticated part of the radical deep state democratic apparatus is the legal because the legal profession has been so radicalized. Anyway, Julie, one more time, give your sub stack and your coordinates on social media and then we'll see you at five.

0

1263.425 - 1273.118 Mike Davis

Great. Declassified with Julie Kelly. I have a sub stack on about Judge Curry's orders and both orders are posted there and then I'm on X Julie underscore Kelly too.

1275.072 - 1282.302 Steve

We're going to have hair and makeup, so we're going to actually see you on camera. We can tee up the War and Posse for that, ma'am.

1282.442 - 1291.133 Mike Davis

I don't wake up beautiful like Mike Davis, okay? And I know that he's not on camera this morning either. No, no.

1291.434 - 1296.16 Steve

We got him in hair and makeup. We got him in hair and makeup. Thank you, Julie. We'll see you at 5.

1296.18 - 1296.641 Mike Davis

See you tonight.

Chapter 8: What actions are being proposed against radicalized judges?

3134.855 - 3151.575 Steve

Do not let the Ukraine become your Vietnam. It does not have to be. And look at that veteran right there. The rawness of the emotion about the 58,000 that are dead. Incredible. I want to thank David Zier, everybody at the diner. Short commercial break. We'll return to the worm in a moment.
