23 Jan 2026
Chapter 1: What does the primal scream of a dying regime signify?
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've tried 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? 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. It's Friday, 23 January, Year of Alert 2026. We've got a lot of balls we're going to juggle.
The Right to Life March. They're going to have the speakers. We're going to go back to POSO later in this hour. Nora Bin Laden is going to join us from Switzerland.
Chapter 2: How does Andrew Jackson's leadership style relate to current protests?
We're going to do a comprehensive analysis of the globalist fest in Davos. Ben Berkham is going to stick with me. He's in Baltimore. He attended this conference. Another instigation is insurrection. So we're packed. We're going to go to Arizona, Texas, all of it. I want to start, though, with Hayden Daniels. Sir, one of my favorite sites, as people know, is the Federalist.
I always go there in the morning. It's kind of like watching the war rooms cold open. It gets me jacked up in the morning, as a cold open does. Um, you wrote a, quite frankly, a brilliant piece and something I've been talking about in the first term, president Trump had such an admiration for general Jackson, president Jackson.
We not only put the portrait right off to the left-hand side so everybody can see it when they were taking photos or sitting in the Rose garden next to the president, but we actually went out to the hermitage.
uh to visit and for president trump to go there and i'm going to tell you it blew him away we stayed i think he gave a speech we stayed over an hour just doing the tour and people know this when president trump goes on the tours he's not a guy that stays an extra hour that's how much interest he had in general andrew jackson your piece said today We're at a crossroads right here in this country.
It's obviously an insurrection that's in your face. And we're going to do one or two things is going to happen. We're going to blink or we're going to treat it like an insurrection. And you use the historical analogy of our first true populist president.
general andrew jackson of how he handled uh an insurrection in time and quite frankly i think delayed or actually killed what was a potential civil war and if you had more people like jackson in the late 1850s you might not had a civil war in this country sir walk us through your article thanks for having me on steven thanks for the praise for the article um
So my article is really about the nullification crisis in 1832. Basically, the story is in 1828 and 1832, Congress passes a couple of very, funnily enough, the whole crisis is about tariffs. So they pass a couple of very high tariff laws. Now, the North favors tariffs to protect American industry. The South opposes tariffs because they import most of their manufactured goods, mostly from Britain.
But the South opposes it. And especially these two tariffs, South Carolina vehemently opposes these tariffs. And they get so mad about it that they start arguing what's called nullification theory, which says that a state, if it finds a federal law unconstitutional, it can say, we don't have to follow that law anymore.
We are totally exempt from following federal law if we, the state, believe that it's unconstitutional.

Chapter 3: What was the significance of the Right to Life March discussed?
So it has a state convention that and declares that these two tariff laws are null and void, therefore nullification. The governor of South Carolina, Robert Hain, even starts to raise a state militia to forcefully resist the collection of tariff revenue from the government. And Jackson doesn't hesitate when this happens.
gets to work, informs his Secretary of War, Louis Cass, to start mobilizing troops in case this escalates out of hand. It almost does. And he has Congress pass the Force Bill in early 1833, which authorizes him to use military force to put down this potential insurrection. Now, Jackson's a very big states' rights guy. He's not some big government guy. But he correctly
argues, along with other opponents of nullification, that if any state's allowed to just decide a federal law doesn't apply to them, you're not going to have a country. He points out that this law was completely constitutional in how it was passed. Congress has explicit authority to levy tariffs under Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution. It passed through both houses of Congress.
It was signed by the president. It wasn't flagged for judicial review. Therefore, this is a totally constitutional law and the states as signatories of the constitution have to have to follow it. That's, that's the deal. Um, and if they don't, if any, if any state can just kind of pick and choose which laws it wants to follow. there's no real point of having a country.
But hang on, but hang on, hang on, but hang on, hang on. I want to get back to also their core thing is that what is the state and who's sovereign? The theory of the South Carolinians and many in the South, although they didn't come to their back on this is that, Hey, look, the constitution is a compact of sovereign States.
And as a compact, like a gentleman's club, we can kind of pick and choose which one general Jackson, uh, who really ended the Revolutionary War and really the beginning of the nation-building phase by defeating the British at the Battle of New Orleans, and had done so much to really help foreign the country. He was a southerner, a westerner, I guess, at the time, but a southerner.
He had no love for the landed aristocracy in South Carolina or the Tidewater area anywhere. But his theory of the case was quite different. This ain't just a compact. This is a union. And that is different than a compact. So in a union, you get your shot to voice your concerns in the process.
But once the process is deemed right, you either go to the court and get it overturned or but you're going to follow you're going to follow the rules. And if I have to, I will enforce the rules. Correct.
Yes, it was absolutely adamant about that, that if South Carolina continues on this path, we are going to use federal force to enforce constitutionally passed laws.

Chapter 4: How did the historical nullification crisis shape American politics?
basically laying out his argument about why nullification is illegitimate, begins mobilizing troops. The troops are basically ready to go. But at the last second, he's able to get a compromise with Henry Clay in the Senate to lower the tariff rates But he was absolutely ready to just go into the state if South Carolina didn't back down.
And South Carolina did back down after that compromise tariff in 1833. But as you said, it very easily could have become a civil war.
There's an apocryphal story. John C. Calhoun was his vice president. John C. Calhoun is kind of a fire breather from South Carolina. He resigned as vice president to go down and kind of lead this insurrection. And Jackson, it's a proclivable story, but he said, hey, if I get to send the army in, the first thing I'm going to do is hang Calhoun from the first lampposts
We're going to give him a drum head trial and we're going to hang him from the first lamppost that we can find. That's how Andrew Jackson played. Okay. He had no tolerance. And, and, and if you hadn't, if he didn't have that kind of, um, tough leadership, uh, this thing would have spun out of control and you would have had a nightmare.
That's why people like Jackson were essential, I think, for stopping the Civil War a couple of decades later. Now, the stakes here are a hundred times higher than the terror fight.
In contrast, you had Buchanan in 1860, before the Civil War. He does nothing but hesitate when it comes to the secession crisis in 1860, and it does spiral out of control. So you really just see the... difference between leadership styles, between decisive and indecisive, with Jackson going right for it and not messing around and taking the decisive action.
Then you have Buchanan who kind of vacillates and hesitates, and the country is who pays for it in the end with the deadliest war in U.S. history, the Civil War.
So Hayden, right now we've got a situation where Do you agree with me that this is an insurrections in your face, what you see in Minneapolis? But it's the same in Los Angeles, the same in Chicago. It's the same with Mondami in New York. The sanctuary cities, they're saying, hey, we don't have to apply to federal law. We can let anybody in this country that wants to come in here.
And if we like them or they're going to vote for us, they're going to stay and screw you. We don't care. This is why this crisis is 10x what the crisis of 1832 is, is it not?

Chapter 5: What lessons can we learn from Andrew Jackson's response to insurrections?
But if Trump takes a decisive stand like Jackson did in 1832, he can really nip it in the bud.
What is your record? If you were in the Oval Office this morning and someone in the, you know, Stephen Chung or Caroline Levitt, one of our good buddies over there, had given President Trump, as they are want to do, articles in the day's journals and papers and online that he should read. He reads this. I want to talk to the person that wrote this.
What is your sitting in the Oval across from President Trump? What is your record? Give me a one minute. Your recommendation to the president of the United States.
Mr. President, you give fray and walls one last chance. Back down, start cooperating with federal authorities, hand over the National Guard to federal authority, tell the police to start doing their jobs and protecting ICE agents, or we're going to start seriously considering sending in other National Guard units to crack down on this. And we will consider you a hostile government.
And invoke the Insurrection Act and you will be held criminally responsible for anything that happens afterward. Full stop.
How much time a president goes, a president says, OK, Hayden, I got that. How much time do I give them? I've given them all this time now. You know, I'm not I am not James Buchanan. So how much time do I give?
I say at most 24 hours. That's enough. I think that's enough time to deliberate and see if they want to push their luck.
Hayden, what is your, so 24 hours, then the Insurrection Act. Hayden, and then send the troops in. Hayden, what's your social media? Where do people get you at The Federalist and where do they get this incredible article?
You can go to thefederalist.com for my article and my writings. You just go to my staff page. My social is at Hayden W. Daniel on X. Great piece, man.

Chapter 6: How do current events in Minnesota reflect historical tensions?
I'm right here. You've been riding all this stuff with ice and taking bad guys out and taking bad hombres. What do you think about... We've got a minute to break. What do you think about the Insurrection Act?
100%. I wouldn't give them 24 hours. I would do it right now. Minneapolis, they've had plenty of opportunities. What we saw this morning, it's so far beyond. It's so much worse than any American, red-blooded American can even imagine. Anyone who obstructs should get the Insurrection Act.
And immediately, even before that, any federal funds to any sanctuary city or state need to be immediately withdrawn now. Not talked about, not thought about, withdrawn.
Ben, where did people get you? I'm going to get you back on tonight, hopefully in the 5 o'clock hour. But for right now, I want you to show your video and talk to people about what you saw this morning. Where did people go?

Silver is almost 100.
Think about that for a second, particularly those of you who have been with us. We first brought on Birch Gold as a sponsor. We said, hey, we're not here. One of these guys is going to sell. The price will go boom, boom, boom.
No.
We need the audience to understand, and this ties in so much that's going on in the world. If you really want to be America first in MAGA, you have to understand the world and how the pieces fit together. How we put America first. And most importantly, not simply the country, but the citizens in the country first. Because if we put the citizens first, it's all going to take care of itself.
And so far, until you get to President Trump, he didn't have anybody cared about the American citizens whatsoever. And as imperfect as some of you think this may be, it's a lot better than it was, and it's getting better. Birchgold.com, promo code BANNON, end of the dollar empire. What do we do there?

Chapter 8: What are the implications of the discussions at Davos for global governance?
You understand that you're gonna go a long way for your own financial stability and to understand the world around you, which is the whole purpose of this show. So Greg Roberg, you join us. Greg, you're running for the attorney general in Arizona, and there is a very disturbing story. It may be the most disturbing story of the day and a lot of disturbing stories, but you have this radical,
attorney general in Arizona. So you got, you got the New York post leading with a story about the, um, the, uh, attorney general in Arizona, because she gave a, I think an interview with a local TV thing.
And she said, Hey, we know with all the, with the ice guys wearing masks and, and, you know, protecting themselves with masks and you've got standard ground here in Arizona, but basically implying it's okay for illegal alien invaders to shoot ice agents. And I tell people, uh,
These AGs and these Democrat politicians, Spanberger in Virginia, signed an executive order as day one, no assistance with ICE. You got Waltz, as we said in the last night, Waltz is calling out the National Guard not to assist ICE and federal officials on the mass deportation of illegal alien invaders. He's doing that to protect the illegal alien invaders from federal authority.
What more do you want in insurrection than that? Fry is sitting there yelling in a national interview to get the hell out, and now you have an attorney general in Arizona. It's so out of control, she's implying. In fact, I think that the local news person kind of goes, well, hang on for a second. That sounds pretty radical. She wouldn't walk it back. She doubled down.
Greg, what in the hell is going on in Arizona, and what are you going to do about it?
Right, so out here in Arizona, everyone's blood is boiling over this Chris May story. Our AG, they're all going one up, one up, one up. It's not enough attacking ICE all over the place. Like you said, she comes in, she says that our stand your ground laws apply to law enforcement, which is factually wrong. Forget the morality, forget how much of a maniacal statement that is.
Our stand your ground laws for both self-defense and property rights clearly state in the statute does not apply to law enforcement, does not apply to resisting arrest. So she knows that. She's just throwing this out there to raise money. She's raising money at record paces. This is sort of what the Democrats are hanging on for 2026.
The crazier they can get against law enforcement officials, the more money they can raise, the more they're coming after us. And this is a disaster. And we're coming in to fix this. We're taking out Chris Mays. We're coming in. I've been saying my whole election that we're focused on safe streets, strong borders, and secure elections.
