Chapter 1: What is the primal scream of a dying regime?

2.714 - 24.336 Steve Bannon

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.

24.356 - 44.898 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. 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.

53.558 - 71.218 Steve Bannon

Tuesday, 2 December, Year of the Lord 2025. Thank you for tuning in to the late afternoon, early evening edition of the War Room. We've got breaking news. We're going to go right to the Viceroy, Mike Davis, who joins us by phone. Mike, update on the NDAA and the AI amnesty, sir.

0

72.54 - 101.329 Mike Davis

Well, it looks like the War Room posse has delivered once again, teaming up with the Article III project because the AI oligarchs look like they are in retreats. on AI amnesty and the must-pass Defense Authorization Act, the NDAA. And this is—the credit goes to the War Room Posse for lighting up both of their home state senators and their U.S. House rep at Article III Project's action page.

101.449 - 123.668 Mike Davis

This was on a glide path to pass again. like it was four months ago when Ted Cruz tried to put this in must-pass legislation. And in about five hours, the War Room Posse changed the politics, and it went down 99 to 1 four months ago, including Ted Cruz voting against his own legislation.

123.708 - 151.145 Mike Davis

They thought they were going to run the same play again this time in the NDAA must-pass national defense authorization bill. And the war room posse got the House proponents basically waving the white flag of surrender. You started to see those news reports coming out saying, this is important, Steve. We've gone on your show. We finally have their attention.

151.205 - 174.52 Mike Davis

We've had crucial meetings with the administration on this where they understand if we're going to pass this federal preemption for AI, if we're going to let the federal government block AI, the states and local communities from regulating AI so they can compete against China as they claim. We're going to do it the American way. We're going to protect the four Cs.

174.58 - 203.577 Mike Davis

We're going to protect children from predators. We're going to protect communities from AI data centers going in residential neighborhoods, for example, or water and electric rates getting jacked up to subsidize these AI platforms. We're going to protect... conservatives from online censorship, from being canceled by these AI oligarchs like Google and Meta. And we're going to protect creators.

Chapter 2: What updates are there on the NDAA and AI amnesty?

340.054 - 360.843 Mike Davis

We want to make sure we're doing this the American way. We're going to get this to the Trump White House. this evening, and you're exactly right, Steve. This is a big piece of legislation. This needs to go through the regular order. It needs to go through the committee process. It needs to go through amendments. We need to have debate. We need to get 60 votes in the Senate.

0

360.883 - 381 Mike Davis

Look, if everyone agrees that the legislation, the proposed legislation, the Article 3 project is drafting is good, and you can get 60 votes in the Senate, and a majority in the House and the President sign off on it, great. But It's probably not going to work that way. It's going to require debates. It's going to require amendments. It's going to require votes.

0

381.46 - 400.36 Mike Davis

And, you know, that's the American way, and that's how you're going to get the best legislation possible. And no one's going to be ecstatic when the legislative process is over. People are going to have some wins. People are going to have some losses. But that's how our process works. That's how our legislative process works under Article I of the Constitution.

0

402.213 - 423.356 Steve Bannon

Now, I just want to make sure people are not resting on their shovels here and their axes. Should they still go to Article 3 and still lay a call in or a text message or an email to their senator and their congressman just to reinforce that, hey, here's what I'm hearing, but I want to make sure that you're 100% against and that we kind of restart this process? What do you recommend right now?

0

423.376 - 425.979 Steve Bannon

Because I don't trust these tech broligarchs at all.

427.18 - 445.819 Mike Davis

No question, Stephen. That's exactly right. We should run through the tape on this one, so people should go to article3project.org, article3project.org, take action, and it's to go after the AI amnesty and the NDA. It can't go in there. We cannot have AI amnesty.

445.839 - 464.762 Mike Davis

If they want federal preemption, if they don't want the states and local communities to be able to regulate AI companies, then we need to have federal rules of the road, and that includes the four Cs. that the Article III project is proposing in our 100-plus page legislation that is crucially important. Look, they tried to sneak it in.

464.803 - 486.625 Mike Davis

As you said, Steve, in the big, beautiful bill, they tried to sneak it in. The NDAA, but we've been on their game for months on that. That's why this is dead on. It appears to be on life support right now. They're going to find any opportunity they can to sneak this through instead of having debate. And so it's crucially important that people light up

486.959 - 513.789 Mike Davis

both of their home state senators and their U.S. House rep, and make them understand we're not doing AI amnesty. We're not going to repeat the mistakes we made almost 20 years ago with Section 230 amnesty and antitrust amnesty that created Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Apple, these trillion-dollar big tech oligarchs that rush competition, cancel conservatives, and shutter small businesses.

Chapter 3: How did the War Room Posse influence the NDAA vote?

627.173 - 649.182 Steve Bannon

They were trying to slide something in like they changed the Electoral Count Act of 1887, unconstitutionally I might add, to try to fool people. You cannot fool MAGA. We're going to get down and get the receipts, and we're going to find out, understand, and we've now beaten you twice, or we're close to beating you twice. I don't want to get too cocky on this one.

0

650.14 - 667.679 Steve Bannon

because they're so duplicitous they tried it again, a couple of pages, to give them, to take away all your rights, all your controls, all the safety of your children, all of it. And we don't even know what's going on in these frontier labs, all of it, for them to give it to the oligarchs.

0

668.761 - 683.336 Steve Bannon

Scalise knew this, Mike Rogers knew this, everybody in the House knew this, the Speaker knew this, guys in the Senate knew this, Ted Cruz, credit Ted Cruz knew this. They all know it when it's getting slid in there.

0

683.616 - 699.739 Steve Bannon

If it hadn't been once again for Mike Davis and Article Three, the the Joe Allen's of the world, getting people worked up, and getting them worked up by looking at the facts where they came and said, No, this is not acceptable. This is not right. We're not going to have this.

0

700.613 - 726.817 Steve Bannon

and dig in and make enough phone calls and things that folks understood, well, hey, if I vote for this and my constituents know this, I may not be around here. This is not the way it's supposed to work. You're not supposed to hide the football. You got defeated back in July trying to do the same crap, and even Ted Cruz was too embarrassed when we put the spotlight on that rat.

727.898 - 749.541 Steve Bannon

He didn't even vote for his own recommendation. And we're going to go to Tennessee in a second. And Marsha Blackburn led the fight on that. Remember that president Trump kind of told him and said, Hey, I don't, I don't think you guys, I don't think this is going to work. It was like two o'clock in the morning. I think the vote was at three 99 to one 99 to one.

751.723 - 776.974 Steve Bannon

They had the gall because they think you're dumb. Let's be honest. They think you're idiots. They do. They have no respect. You cannot sit there and go, no, we respect you. You do not respect the working man and woman in this country. You do not respect the middle class. You do not respect your base. That's one of the reasons the base hates the ruling class and hates the political class.

778.517 - 785.768 Steve Bannon

Because you don't come to them and say, hey, look, we got thwarted before, but we got to do this. China's catching up to us. Until somebody can show me

786.743 - 811.052 Steve Bannon

and maybe it's got to be the intelligence guys in a declassified setting, that the Chinese Communist Party, if we cut them off from chips, we cut them off from knowledge, we cut them off from technique, we cut them off from education, we cut them off from all capital markets, access to everything, that they can do this, that they're competitive in the Sputnik moment, and they're going to try to make that case.

Chapter 4: What are the four Cs that need protection in AI legislation?

887.461 - 911.574 Steve Bannon

Been working hard. I know it, man. Bringing victory after victory. Because remember, victory begets victory. What's going on in Tennessee 7? The Michael Patrick Leahy is here to inform us next. 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. Here's the facts.

0

911.975 - 931.264 Steve Bannon

Inflation is still too high. The U.S. dollar is still too weak. And the government debt is insurmountable. This is why central banks throughout the world are flocking to gold at record rates. They're the ones driving prices up to new record highs. But it's not too late to buy gold from Birch Gold Group and get in the door now.

0

931.582 - 961.275 Steve Bannon

Birch Gold will help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax-sheltered IRA in gold. You don't pay a dime out of pocket. Just text Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, to 98989 and claim your free information kit. There's no obligation. It's just useful information. The best indicator of the future is the past, and gold has historically been a safe haven for a millennia. What else can I say?

0

961.315 - 980.927 Steve Bannon

What else does Birch Gold need to say? The hedge against times of financial turbulence has always been gold. So text Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, to 989898 right now to claim your free information kit on gold. That's Bannon to 989898. And protect your future today with Birch Gold.

1012.497 - 1034.833 Steve Bannon

I'll come back. So how to describe this? DeGrasse is going to be with us in the morning. Another victory I'm going to have. We are going to have Paul Lagerman from Heritage Action is going to join us at the bottom of the hour. I believe that the House in Indiana has just voted out a committee, a 9-0 map. And we're going to talk about that. DeGrasse is going to join us this morning.

1034.853 - 1045.067 Steve Bannon

It's a total fracas right now. In the House, I think Elise Stefanik has gone to the floor of the discharge petition about House members trading stocks on inside information.

1045.107 - 1063.973 Steve Bannon

This has been something, and Leahy knows this from the old Breitbart days, Peter Schweitzer and myself, the people at Peter Schweitzer's, at the organization we had at the time on the insider trading, because it actually is technically true that House members It was true before. We stopped it. I think it's back.

1064.033 - 1083.094 Steve Bannon

They can trade on non-material, on non-material information, excuse me, material non-public information. which you would go to jail if you were at some company and heard some tip coming from the boardroom, or if you saw some sales document and sales were down and you went and shorted the stock or dumped the stock, you would go to prison.

Chapter 5: How can constituents take action against AI amnesty?

1138.013 - 1162.461 Michael Patrick Leahy

And I've talked to some key sources that are familiar with turnout numbers, and it looks like the projections are Election Day turnout may equal or surpass early voting. Early voting, remember, 84,000 votes. We thought that was pretty much a wash between Afton Bayne and Matt Van Epps looking at the counties involved. But Election Day, you're going to have more Republicans turn out.

0

1163.002 - 1182.502 Michael Patrick Leahy

And so my projection had been we'd have a lower than early voting turnout. I thought we'd have 68,000 turnout on Election Day. It looks like we'll have 84,000. As a result, I told you privately that I expected, anticipated that Matt Van Epps would win by five to six points.

0

1183.102 - 1202.8 Michael Patrick Leahy

With this higher election day turnout so far, I think right now we're on track for a 10-point victory by Matt Van Epps tonight. But, Steve, if you are listening in Tennessee right now, two hours and 40 minutes, run through the tape. If you haven't voted, go and vote for Matt Van Epps.

0

1203.708 - 1225.581 Steve Bannon

This is very important. There's two hours and 40 minutes left for the polls to be open in Tennessee. This is an absolutely critical seat. Let's leave aside how we got here. We got here and we're here. The only thing that matters now is victory. There's no substitute for victory. We gotta win this one. People have come together and we should give hat tips

0

1225.561 - 1247.593 Steve Bannon

to Speaker Johnson and others that have piled into here. All the conservative media, War Room Posse, people have piled into this over the Thanksgiving holiday. And since early voting stopped, I think on Wednesday afternoon, about four o'clock local time, people have pounded about getting folks ready, assisting people if they needed to get rides out to vote.

1247.653 - 1266.17 Steve Bannon

It was supposed to be inclement weather today. I understand it was quite cold, but it was clear. So Michael, Patrick, everybody did kind of come together, but we still have to run through the tape. You know, after work voting is always very strong, particularly among working class people that can't do it before work. So we need everybody. We've got two hours, over two hours and a half.

1266.65 - 1274.237 Steve Bannon

This thing could hang in the balance right now, but I think people did respond, it looked like, They needed to get out and vote today, sir.

1275.579 - 1295.781 Michael Patrick Leahy

It's clear and cold here in Middle Tennessee in the 7th Congressional District. Temperature hovering around 32, 33 degrees. There has not been precipitation yet. It may get colder. It may start to rain or sleet or snow between now and the closing of the polls. So it's very important.

1296.267 - 1309.18 Michael Patrick Leahy

If you live in the 14 counties that comprise the 7th Congressional District and you have not voted, turn your car around right now, go to the polling place and vote for the GOP nominee, Matt Van Epps.

Chapter 6: What does the Election Day turnout look like in Tennessee?

1401.925 - 1424.027 Steve Bannon

This was Judge Sirica. It was the Justice Department. It was Maine Justice. It was the House committees with those left-wing lawyers talking to each other, getting up on whiteboards and plotting out things they had never done. They had meetings with the staff over at the judges' staff, things that were unheard of. to railroad Richard Nixon out of his presidency.

0

1424.468 - 1444.703 Steve Bannon

And I really want to give you a hat tip, Michael Patrick Leahy, for going to law school at night. The brother has a degree from Harvard College and Stanford Business School. He's still going to law school at night and now entranced by, enthralled by Jeff Shepard's theory of the case of lawfare against Richard Nixon, sir.

0

1445.645 - 1468.615 Michael Patrick Leahy

How the Deep State took down Richard Nixon, that film is distributed by War Room Film, so go to warroom.film. You can still see it there. It's still for free, and it's really, really good, 90 minutes. We make the case that it was, in fact, more than a dozen violations of the due process rights of Richard Nixon and the Watergate defendants that brought them down, and it's very clear

0

1468.595 - 1485.608 Michael Patrick Leahy

a crooked judge, a crooked special prosecutor, and a loaded with Department of Justice under Kennedy and Johnson attorneys working for Archibald Cox and then Leon Jaworski that went in to take down Richard Nixon.

0

1487.174 - 1506.062 Steve Bannon

Michael Patrick Leahy, good news out of Tennessee. We have to run through the tape. Everybody can hear my voice or see the image. We've got two and a half hours to go. The polls are still open. There's a lot of votes out there. The Democrats are not going to lay down on this one. But people are turning out. I think people are hearing the clarion call that we need to win this seat.

1506.082 - 1522.463 Steve Bannon

Let's put in back of us how exactly we got here from a 22-point victory with President Trump to where we are now. It doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is that there's no substitute for victory. And we have to win this one. Leahy, how do people get to your show? How do they get to your content? How do they get to your social media?

1523.644 - 1543.501 Michael Patrick Leahy

Go to TennesseeStar.com, TennesseeStar.com. My show, the Michael Patrick Leahy Show, heard 9 a.m. Central to noon Central every weekday on the John Fredericks Radio Network here in Nashville, 760 a.m. WENO, and in 19 other radio stations owned by John Fredericks around the country.

1544.642 - 1551.115 Steve Bannon

Fantastic. Great job, sir. Michael Patrick Leahy, very proud of you and the folks down in Tennessee. Run through the tape.

1553.64 - 1555.703 Michael Patrick Leahy

Run through the tape, Steve. Run through the tape.

Chapter 7: What are the implications of redistricting in Indiana?

1626.294 - 1641.313 Steve Bannon

Read it, study it, you'll understand why gold has been a hedge for, I don't know, 5,000 years of man's recorded history. You'll start to understand it. And you'll understand now why the biggest financial institutions in the world

0

1642.238 - 1669.967 Steve Bannon

looking at it as an asset like back in the 19th century a financial asset and a hedge check it all out also tax network usa scott bessett you saw the cabinet meeting today we have a two trillion dollar deficit we're gonna have a two trillion dollar deficit even with the growth in the economy for the next couple of years the irs they think you owe this you think you owe that that's called the bid and the asked there's a gap

1670.183 - 1692.962 Steve Bannon

If you're a homeowner, you need to listen to this. In today's AI and cyber world, scammers are stealing home titles with more ease than ever, and your equity is the target. Here's how it works. Criminals forge your signature on one document, use a fake notary stamp, pay a small fee with your county, and boom! Your home title has been transferred out of your name.

0

1693.923 - 1719.681 Steve Bannon

Then they take out loans using your equity or even sell your property. You won't even know it's happened until you get a collection or foreclosure notice. So let me ask you, when was the last time you personally checked your home title? If you're like me, the answer is never. And that's exactly what scammers are counting on.

1752.01 - 1772.635 Unknown

Indiana State Senator Michael Bohachek is opposing redistricting. And Indiana has been an interesting place because the lawmakers there have not wanted to do this, despite the president's push and despite the governor's push. Here's what the state senator said about it. This is a Facebook post. Many of you have asked my position on redistricting. I've been...

1772.615 - 1792.677 Unknown

an unapologetic advocate for people with mental disabilities since the birth of my second daughter. Those of you that don't know me or my family might not know that my daughter has Down syndrome. This is not the first time our president has used these insulting and derogatory references, and his choices of words have consequences. I will be voting no on redistricting.

1792.777 - 1818.282 Unknown

Perhaps he can use the next 10 months to convince voters that his policies and behavior deserve a congressional majority. He was talking about the president, by the way, using the R word about Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota. But that last line, perhaps he can use the next 10 months to convince voters that his policies and behavior deserve a congressional majority. That says a lot.

Chapter 8: What are the latest developments regarding voting integrity in Texas?

1939.47 - 1965.457 Steve Bannon

Over at ShamWow, the new network, Katie Turr. They don't talk about 45% of folks in a 40 million person state in California, you're going to have four seats. They want to have none, 52 to zero. Paul Lagerman joins me from Heritage Action. Paul, this is kind of your beat over at Heritage Action. Tiffany Justice and the team over there tell me you're the absolute killer on this.

0

1966.178 - 1981.513 Steve Bannon

We just, despite MSNBC, we just had very good news come out of Indiana, and that is the committee, I think, voted eight to five to put forward a map that is 9-0. Can you walk us through the process, sir?

0

1982.86 - 2012.727 Paul Lagerman

Absolutely. So this began, you know, months ago. The fact that we talk about this happening overnight in Indiana is absolutely incorrect. This conversation has been ongoing for months, talking about redistricting, talking about these maps, talking about the inequity that we have in Indiana, where we have, you majority within our congressional delegation in a state that's deep red.

0

2013.368 - 2044.352 Paul Lagerman

Every statewide elected official in the state is a Republican and has been for the last few cycles. And we haven't had a Democrat here in quite some time. The numbers just bear this out. So today what happened, the exciting part of today, is this was the first actual legislative step. The House came in early. This is special session light in that it isn't the exact special session.

0

2044.412 - 2072.051 Paul Lagerman

This is an early start to the actual session. So the House came in. The bill was introduced yesterday on the floor of the House. Committee hearing lasted all day today. I can say that Heritage Action, we were about the only folks that testified in favor of this bill. And it was just it was person after person of from from about nine thirty in the morning till about three o'clock in the afternoon.

2072.111 - 2097.208 Paul Lagerman

They didn't like to see that didn't want redistricting. And as you said, the vote came out favorably in the committee. Now it moves on to second reading. Second reading will happen tomorrow. On second reading in Indiana, there's the opportunity to amend the bill, to discuss the bill, to debate the bill. This is sort of the big hit, right? And you're going to see tomorrow just everything.

2097.475 - 2125.087 Paul Lagerman

and the kitchen sink come at this bill in the form of amendments, trying to tear it apart, adding poison pills. Those are all going to be defeated tomorrow because we know going into this that the House numbers are there. The votes are there in the Republican caucus. Remember, in Indiana, it's a 70-30 House, right? quite literally. There's 100 members, 70 Republicans, 30 Democrats.

2126.108 - 2152.952 Paul Lagerman

The House can conduct business without the Democrats showing up. They don't have to worry about quorum or that sort of thing. So tomorrow is the big day for all the amendments and then third reading on Friday. At the same time, as Turning Point will be hosting a very large rally in the Statehouse right next door to the House of Representatives on one floor down.

2154.134 - 2168.994 Paul Lagerman

So it's a big, beautiful granite building, so you're going to hear this pro-redistricting echoing through the halls. So it's going to be pretty exciting. Paul, you're Hoosier, correct? Correct. Yes, sir.
