Speaker 1 (00:00):
Folks on the rumble Chat. No, no, you got to
hold it one day. We're going to take the training
wheels off. Well, you're in the rumble Chat. After you've
after you've you've gone, You've gone full pirates.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Have a good show, brother, have a good show.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
I have some Kansas City barbecue.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
Second, love you, brother, I love you, Eric Sam I'm
here for an hour, and Eric Bowling wants to get
me run out of town here in Kansas City, Missouri
and Kansas City, Kansas. Are really honored to do the
Hillsdale College Conference today and be the keynote speaker. So
we'll get folks fired up. As we do here in

(00:38):
the war room. We are jammed. There's been so much
going on this afternoon. And Eric just said President Trump
did put up? Don't don't put up? Yeah, I want
to get to make especially the merch Shop Trump twenty
twenty eight.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
It was amazing, I tell you what.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
We got an incredible cold open, incredible show including some
live guests. Here.

Speaker 3 (00:56):
Let's go ahead and let it rip.

Speaker 4 (00:57):
Take a look at the cover of the Economist quote
only one three hundred and sixty one days to go,
showing America's national symbol the bald eagle, battered and injured
and bandaged. The top trumpet Donor puts it this way,
our national brand is at risk.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
Take a listen to that rose.

Speaker 5 (01:16):
Beyond just being a country, it was like an aspiration
for most of the world.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
And we're eroding that brand right now.

Speaker 5 (01:26):
And if you think of your behavior as a consumer,
how many times do you buy a product with a
brand on it because you trust that brand? And then
the financial markets, no brand compared to the brand of
the US treasuries, the US treasure market, the strength of
the US dollar, and the strength the credit worthiness of
US treasuries, no brand came close.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
We put that brand at risk.

Speaker 5 (01:49):
And as you and I both know, it can take
a very long time, very long time to remove the
tarish on a brand.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
So the President and.

Speaker 5 (02:01):
The Secretary Treasury and the Secretary Commerce need be very
thoughtful that when you have a brand, you need to
behave in a way that respects that brand, that strengthens
that brand, because when you turnish that brand, it can
be a lifetime to repair the damage that has been done.

Speaker 6 (02:19):
Clarified with in the US and speaking with China, they're
saying it's big news.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
That trade talks are happening.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Well, they had a meeting this morning, so I can't
tell you. It doesn't matter who they is.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
We may reveal it later.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
But they had meetings this morning.

Speaker 7 (02:34):
And we've been meeting with Jina, and so I think
you have Jeff as usual.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
I think you have your reporting wrong.

Speaker 8 (02:42):
Thank you.

Speaker 9 (02:42):
We had a very successful bilteral meeting with Republic of
South Korea today.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
We may be moving.

Speaker 9 (02:50):
Faster than I thought, and we will be talking technical
terms as early as next week as we reach an
agreement on understanding as soon as next week. So South
Koreans came early, they came with their a game, and
we will see if they follow through on that.

Speaker 6 (03:07):
President this morning and most use the word famir stop.
That seemed like a slightly different message or perfor message.

Speaker 7 (03:17):
Frustration with President I didn't like last night.

Speaker 8 (03:20):
I wasn't happy with it.

Speaker 7 (03:22):
And we're in the midst of talking peace and missiles
were fired and I was not happy with it. That's
what I meant to miss.

Speaker 9 (03:30):
You know, do you still agree that you have to
give some territory away to the peace.

Speaker 7 (03:38):
Well, it depends what territory they've been fighting. They've lost
a lot of territory and we'll get we'll do the
best weekend working with you, Brayton, We'll do the best weekend.
But they lost a lot of territory. When you say
crimea that was handed over during a president named Barack
Hussein Obama, that had nothing to do with me. Crimea
that was eleven years ago with Obama, and they made

(04:04):
a decision that wasn't a bullet fire. There was no fighting,
there was no anything. They just ended it over. Now
they say, well, can you get it back?

Speaker 1 (04:12):
I think that's going to.

Speaker 7 (04:13):
Be a very difficult thing to do. That was given
by Barack Obama when he was president, not by Donald Trump.

Speaker 10 (04:20):
Is a federal judge in Washington, DC has blocked Donald
Trump's executive order trying to take over federal elections and
impose an illegal and unconstitutional proof of citizenship requirement. Welcome
back to Democracy Docket.

Speaker 11 (04:35):
I'm Mark Ellias and I'm Paige Mosclets. Let's get started,
all right, page.

Speaker 10 (04:39):
You know, there are a lot of lawsuits flying around
these days against Donald Trump's various illegal activities. Sometimes it's
hard to keep track, but there is one really big one.
For people who care about free and fair elections.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
And that is a.

Speaker 10 (04:53):
Case brought by the Democratic Party, which in full disclosure,
my firm and I represented in this case, as well
as a parallel case brought by a group of nonpartisan
plank gifts challenging an executive order that Donald Trump issued
to try to take over key aspects of federal election administration.

(05:14):
At the heart of that was a effort on his
part to impose or force the Election Assistants' Commission to
impose a proof of citizenship requirement to register to vote.
This is a hotly contested issue that Donald Trump has
been beating the drum on in a way to an
effort to disenfranchise voters.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
This.

Speaker 10 (05:35):
You and I have done videos about this a number
of different contexts. This is also in the Voters Qussion Bill,
the Save Act that Republicans have are trying to pass.
So this is a big decision, a big victory for
voters and page I mean, will they ever stop trying
to undermine free and fair elections?

Speaker 1 (05:56):
Of course not. That is the Republican plan.

Speaker 11 (05:59):
The judge explicitly ruled today was that Trump's executive order
requiring this proof of citizen requiring this proof of citizenship
requirement on federal voter registration forms was unconstitutionally trying to
get around Congress's power to regulate elections. The judge reiterated
throughout her opinion that our Constitution entrusts Congress and the States,

(06:22):
not the president, with the authority to regulate federal elections.
No statutory delegation of authority to the executive branch permits
the president to short circuit Congress's deliberative process by executive order.

Speaker 7 (06:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (06:36):
I mean, look, I think the judge got it exactly
right on this, and you know, you know, I thought
the place where she said it most plainly was when
she said, quote, the president has no constitutional duty to
prescribe the content of election regulations. I mean, like, that's
pretty much in a nutshell. The US Constitution explicitly gives
states the right to set the time, place, and matter

(06:57):
of federal elections. It then gives hungers the ability to
override those decisions by the states through legislation. Donald Trump
is neither a state, nor is he Congress. He may
think he is more powerful than them, but he's not.
He does not have the authority in this area. He
overstepped in a power grab because he wants to undermine

(07:21):
free and fair elections.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
This is the primal scream of a dining regime. Pray
for our enemies because we're going to medieval on these people.
You're not going to free shot and all these networks
lying about the people.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
The people have had a belly full of it. I
know you don't like hearing that.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
I know you've tried to do everything.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
In the world to stop that, but you're not going
to stop it.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
It's going to happen.

Speaker 12 (07:46):
And where do people like that go to share the
big line?

Speaker 2 (07:50):
Mega media?

Speaker 1 (07:51):
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 part?

Speaker 7 (08:00):
If that answer is to save my country, this country
will be saved war.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
Here's your host, Stephen came back.

Speaker 1 (08:17):
Thursday April. It's Thursday, twenty four April, near Lwer, twenty
twenty five. We're here in Kansas City, Missouri. We're on
the road for the next couple of days. Where with
the Hillsdale College people couldn't be more excited. Some of
the folks trying to get Sean Davis and Chris Caldwell
and others into the studio or make sure a studio day.

Speaker 3 (08:36):
Want to thank Real America's Voice for doing this on
the road. Always love it.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
Great crew. A lot to get to today in the
next two hours. All kinds of news breaking right there.
Stephen Miller, head of policy for the President, really the
President's right hand man in all policy for the last
seven or eight years, put up tweeted up immediately when
this when the ruling came out from the judge judicial coup,
and I put up by that and we put it

(09:01):
up on ghet Or saying yes it's a coup to
federal bench, cupdata against the press United States. This is
where they're coming for Trump. This is their lead tanks.
We talked about this this morning with Mike Davis. Heading
towards a constitutional crisis. They're driving the left, driving because
the only thing they can do right now is in
the courts. We've blown back on them politically. Their color

(09:22):
Revolution is sputtering. This is where they're and they're getting
more aggressive as they see the Supreme Court have their
backs on this kind of radicalness and going against the
deep state and what President Trump's got to do. You
think it's the scale of it, and look the Doose
guys have been great and being a blunt force instrument.

(09:44):
What I'm trying to do is make sure that Elon
we can actually get an accounting of all this. But
the deep state, the administrative state, the scale of it
is absolutely massive. Tyler O'Neil from Daily Signal, Rob Blue's great,
great news site is going to to join us. Tyler,
tell us about people that are just adamant about they're

(10:05):
not going to implement President Trump's plans. You've got some
numbers from polling of it used to be called bureaucrats,
now it's the administrative state. How big a fight does
President Trump have and just getting his executive orders and
presidential memorandums executed, Sir.

Speaker 13 (10:22):
It's tremendous. And I mean, as you've noted, you know,
this is a judicial coup that they're facing right now.
But in the actual bureaucracy, in the executive branch, people
who are supposed to report to the President of the
United States, these people are planning to oppose the president
from within. And there's a shocking new poll that found

(10:46):
and these numbers are almost unbelievable. It's seventy five percent.
That's three quarters of all the Washington DC based federal
employees who make over seventy five thousand dollars a year year.
This is the deep state. They said if Trump issued
a lawful order that they disagreed with, that they thought

(11:08):
was bad policy, they would not follow that order. That's
seventy five percent of the bureaucrats who voted for Kamala
Harris in the last election. By the way, it's not all.
It's not seventy five percent of all bureaucrats in DC.
It's seventy five percent of those who voted for Harris
in the last election.

Speaker 14 (11:25):
Only sixteen percent.

Speaker 13 (11:28):
Of the bureaucrats who voted for Harris in the last
election said they would follow a lawful Trump order if
they thought it was bad policy. This is you know,
this is like seven file to the law.

Speaker 1 (11:41):
This is yeah, yeah, ninety percent of them voted, Yeah,
ninety percent of them voted for Harris. I want to
go back to this because this is what elan. I
don't think we've gotten the full report, although I hear
it's a couple it maybe a hun up to one
hundred thousand. They may or maybe even more, maybe two
hundred thousand, and maybe they're freezing money for these people

(12:02):
to get paid. I'm sure the judges are going to
get involved in this. This is what Doge did the
most powerfully as a blunt force instrument, went in and
went into some of these department. Now that's not the fraud,
that's more programmatic. But we'll take what we can get.
I just want to make sure people understand what this
poll says. Seventy five percent of the administrative state people

(12:22):
making over seventy five thousand dollars, so they are more senior.
These are actual people that are at the mid level
manager level and above. But these are the people that
you need in the bureaucracy to actually make things the
president Trump's I tell folks, when he signs the executive order,
it goes out to the cabinet head or to the
alphabet agency head, but then it's got to go back
down through the system to actually be executed. What you're

(12:45):
saying is that of the overwhelming majority of these people
voted for Harris, of those seventy five percent making more
than seventy five thousand dollars, which is the key people
that need to make stuff happen. Said, if it was
a lawful executs of order, a president memory or presidential
direction for action lawful, and they knew it was lawful,

(13:07):
they still will not execute it. Correct. Yeah.

Speaker 13 (13:11):
Well, and the interesting thing here, only about forty seven
percent of these bureaucrats voted for Harris and another forty
six percent voted for Trump. So we're already seeing I
mean this poll was taken in March, we're already seeing
some change in the new administration where there are a
few more Republicans or people who voted for Trump in

(13:32):
the administrative state than there were before the last poll
was taken in December. But even so, this is seventy
five percent of that Roughly half of the bureaucrats who
say they voted for Harris say they're going to a PaaS.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
Hey, So like yeah, saying hey, they're saying they voted
for Trump. I ain't buying that. Hangover second title, just
hang Over, take a commercial break. Had kind of a
long cold open, and I had a big handoff from
Eric today. Laura Lomer's gonna join us. I think hopefully
we get Sean Davis. David Malpass's behead of the World
Bank under President.

Speaker 3 (14:08):
Trump is going to be here.

Speaker 1 (14:10):
Chris Caldwell, I think we've got an all star cast.
We've got Tyler O'Neill from the Great Daily Signal. We're
gonna get back to it with him and Laura lum
is going to be here. Quite disturbing news out of
Texas about Sharia law and what certain folks down there
are calling islamophobia. That's Sharia law. Anyway, short commercial break, Hey, uh,

(14:32):
take your phone out. Text Bannon b A N N
O N at night. Get the Get the Ultimate Guide,
the Ultimate Guide to purchase gold in precious metals from
Birch Gold.

Speaker 15 (14:46):
Do it today, America.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
Your host Stephen k BA.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
Birch Gold, End of the Dollar Empire. They're going to
They're going to Rio in the in July July sixth.
Make sure you go to Birch Gold, The End of
the Dollar Empire, Birch Gold dot com, slash Bannon check
it out today, Tyler. Tyler, you've got some interesting observations
about the people and these NGOs suing President Trump, because remember,

(15:29):
to delay is to deny. They got to get groups
to go and and sue, and the these federal judges
sit there with the judicial insurrection and shut down President
Trump's movement.

Speaker 13 (15:39):
Yeah, most of these organizations are the same ones I
name in my book The Woke to Us, the dark
money cabal manipulating the federal government. And this book is
explaining all of the infrastructure of the left, the woke
NGOs that staffed and advised the Biden administration using the
federal bureaucracy to force their ideology on the American people.

(16:01):
Some of these groups include, naturally, the Southern Poverty Law Center,
the American Civil Liberties Union, the Center for American Progress,
the Human Rights Campaign. Some of these same groups are
now suing the Biden administration or suing the Trump administration.
Excuse me, they love the Biden administration. They never sue them,
but they sue to block everything in the Trump administration.

(16:23):
And as you well know, you know, choosing these judges,
selecting them so that they can get these injunctions to
block Trump's orders and essentially make have these judges make
themselves the power in the executive branch. And so this
is a vast network of organizations that staffed and advised

(16:45):
the Biden administration, a dark money network funding them. Many
of the groups that funded them, by the way, the
afl Cio America's largest union. Part of them is the AFGE,
the American Federation of Government Employees, and this union has
filed dozens of lawsuits against the Trump administration. They take

(17:07):
the really shocking thing about this federal bureaucrats who are
members of this union can do work for this union
and get paid by the taxpayer for the work they
do for the union, as opposed to the work they're
hired by the American people to do. And it is
quite likely that some of this taxpayer funding is actually

(17:28):
going toward the very lawsuits against the Trump administration that
are blocking the president from fulfilling his promises to the
American people.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
Tyler, you're on top of this.

Speaker 3 (17:42):
Guys, are Daily a Signal?

Speaker 1 (17:44):

with the good folks at Hillsdale because it is the
conservative Harvard Thank you so much, sir, you're another rising
star from the of the Hillsdale alumni. Thank you, thanks
so much for having us.

Speaker 3 (18:56):
Are Killers love them love daily signal.

Speaker 8 (19:00):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (19:01):
I'm going to play. I want to bring in the
Laura Loomer Assassin Extraordinary Lara, correct me if I'm wrong,
help me out here, and I've got We've got a
two hour something that the Committee and the Present Danger
Frank Gaffey's group did we do about the persecuted Christians
on the Muslim brother I just want to I'm a

(19:22):
link to that in a second, Laura Lumer, help me
out here. Did the King of Jordan and Jordan today
or yesterday announce that care the Muslim Brotherhood was designated
as a terrorist organization?

Speaker 16 (19:37):
Ma'am.

Speaker 14 (19:40):
I didn't catch that, Steve.

Speaker 17 (19:41):
But what I do know is that efforts in the
Trump administration to designate the Muslim Brotherhood continue.

Speaker 1 (19:47):
To go ignored.

Speaker 17 (19:49):
It's such a fast paced news cycle. So if that
did happen, I wouldn't be surprised, because the Muslim Brotherhood
has been designated as a terrorist organization in the UAE,
and the Saudi Baba also recognized as the Muslim Brotherhood
as a designated Islamic terrist organization, and the Muslim Brotherhood.
It's important for people to understand is what is funding
the Palestinian resistance movement here in the United States of

(20:12):
America and abroad. And so when people want to know, oh,
you know, why why do these groups have so much funding?
It seems like they have countless amounts of resources for
organized bus rallies and signs and placards and you know,
even television commercials. In some states we're now seeing and
these very robust efforts in state legislatures which I'm about

(20:33):
to get into. It's because they are being funded by
the Muslim Brotherhood. And this is something that the Trump
administration had promised the American people that they were going
to do Steve during the first Trump term. And a
lot of people are just sitting there scratching their heads, yeah,
wondering why the cents in charge.

Speaker 1 (20:51):
The first time I was there, and I tell you,
of everything we got accomplished, the one thing I got
no traction on zero and this includes move in the embassy,
getting out a tpe, climbing of courts. I got zero
traction on the Muslim brother at the State Department. The
Defense Department will shut down. So it's amazing Jordan actually
designate is CARE. By the way, we talk about UAE

(21:12):
and these other golf emirates, the UAE UAE has designated
Care as a terrorist organization, have they not, ma'am?

Speaker 13 (21:21):
Yes?

Speaker 14 (21:22):
And I will say again, I am not.

Speaker 17 (21:24):
Allowed to speak about CARE because I have had a
gag order issued against me by a judge, Bruce Reinhardt,
who is the same judge who.

Speaker 14 (21:32):
Ordered the raid on Mar al Lago.

Speaker 17 (21:34):
And I will actually be held in contempt of court
if I speak about Care because I sued CARE several
years ago. People can go and look up the case
themselves and read all about it, and I was actually
ordered to pay them their attorney's fees. And so you'll
have to be the one to inform your audience about CARE.
And of course there's a lot of documentation online as

(21:56):
well as in the filings from the Holy Land Foundation
terrorism trial.

Speaker 14 (22:01):
But it is correct that.

Speaker 17 (22:03):
Certain Muslim civil rights organizations in our country have been
designated abroad and escaped accountability under the Obama administration.

Speaker 1 (22:17):
Let's play. I think we have a clip. Let's go
and play the clip that's going to tee up Laura
Lumer about the great state of Texas.

Speaker 3 (22:23):
Let's go and play it.

Speaker 12 (22:24):
Recreation and Tourism HCR eighty five by Bojohnny designating March
fifteenth as the Day to Combat Islamophobia for a ten
year period ending in twenty thirty five, or for the
Committee on Culture, Recreation and Tourism HCR eighty six by Hayes.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
Laura Lumber. Did I hear that correctly? In the Texas
legislature they're going to designate a day for anti Islamophobia, ma'am?

Speaker 14 (22:47):
That is correct?

Speaker 17 (22:49):
Which is quite shocking given the fact that Texas has
a so called Republican state legislature Speaker of the House,
Dustin Burrows. But I'm told by patriots in Texas that
they're not too fond of They describe him as a
go along to get along rhino who does the bidding
of the Democrats. And so this resolution is called Texas
House Resolution eighty five. It's called the Day to Combat Islamophobia.

(23:12):
And it's not the only islam Islamophobia and Islamic related
resolution that is currently up for a committee vote in
the Texas Legislature. Steve, there's actually four different Islamic resolutions.
And mind you, all of this Islamification of the state
of Texas is happening while there is discussions about the

(23:35):
national security threats posed by these Islamic compounds that are
being funded, I mean, just massive amounts of funding. I'm,
of course referring to the EPIC compound, which has now
sparked national outcry. I saw that Senator John Cornyn actually
referred them for a DOJ investigation. Ken Paxton, who's jumped

(23:57):
in this race, the Attorney General Texas has all so
called for investigations into Epic.

Speaker 14 (24:03):
This Islamic compound, which.

Speaker 17 (24:05):
Many people are arguing is an effort to impose Sharia
law and to have a Sharia compliance community in the
state of Texas. I just want to read to you
some of these resolutions so that you can see for yourself.
You know how far gone a lot of these Rhino
Republicans are in the state of Texas. You have House

(24:25):
resolution recognizing March fifteenth as the data combati Islamophobia for
a ten year period ending in two thousand and thirty five.
March fifteenth, of course, is the anniversary of the twenty
nineteen christ Church mosque shooting in New Zealand, so I
don't know why we have to have a day of
remembrance for something that took place in New Zealand.

Speaker 14 (24:44):
I don't know.

Speaker 17 (24:45):
There's also House Resolution thirty four recognizing the Holy month
of Ramadan. So these are real resolutions, you guys. House
Resolution thirty six recognizing d I'll after this actually passed
in the House, Okay, And then shockingly, they want to
have House Resolution thirty two to.

Speaker 14 (25:03):
Recognize Pakistan Day.

Speaker 17 (25:05):
So I don't know why we have to have the
House resolutions deed to recognize Pakistan Day, where they openly
practice Sharia law. And then, of course, like I said before,
House Resolution eighty five, but I'm also told that they
want to have another House resolution for Bangladesh Jay. So
it's not enough to just have Pakistan Day. They have

(25:25):
to have Bangladesh Jay. Maybe we'll have Gaza Day, and
maybe we'll have you know, days for all of the
other Islamic Islamic nations in our in the Texas State legislature.
So very concerning stuff happening, and you have to ask yourself,
why is this happening under the Trump administration. It's not
President Trump's fault, but you know, perhaps President Trump should

(25:47):
intervene here and light a fire under the ass of
this Rhino speaker of the House in Texas, this Dustin
Burroughs individual, because if we allow for Texas to be
Islamified and conquer under the conquered under the Islamic Crescent, Steve,
then we have truly failed as a nation.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
Laura Hanger, for one second, I know you got a bounce.
By'm just going to hold your complements on the side
because I want to talk to you. George Sores Target
at Texas, the Great Glenn Story and people in Terren
County all over Texas, Maga fought back President Trump after
spending three hundred fifty million dollars. President Trump won by
fourteen points. He got ted Cruz Winn by nine points.
President tu Texas is Maga country, Arizona. There is definitely

(26:31):
something going on in Texas and President Trump and obviously
the guys in the National Security Council and others are
to be focused on this Muslim brotherhood. However, Governor Abbott
and the folks in Texas, what in the hell's going
on down there? Short commercial break, Laura Lumer on the other.

Speaker 8 (26:47):
Side, use your stephen Ka.

Speaker 1 (27:05):
Okay, welcome back, Lar.

Speaker 3 (27:10):
What has going on?

Speaker 1 (27:11):
What's the situation in Texas? And why is an abbot
that engage in this situation with these massive developments down there?

Speaker 3 (27:18):
Ma'am.

Speaker 17 (27:20):
I've talk in Texas right now that a lot of
these Republican lawmakers are actually on the take from some
of these developers and organizations that are involved in building
these massive Islamic compounds.

Speaker 14 (27:32):
The same thing with Colony Ridge. We saw the same.

Speaker 17 (27:35):
Type of controversy take place as it relates to all
of these illegal alien encampments. But this is very concerning
because this is a massive compound. We're talking about four
hundred acres, which is what this EPIC compound is going
to be built upon. As I said before, Senator John
Cornyn has already referred to EPIC for a DOJ investigation.

(27:58):
Ken Paxson is involved. We really haven't seen Governor Abbott
speak out about this much, but I hope that this
can become an issue of focus in the time remaining
in the Texas legislature, Steve, because it's very concerning that
instead of addressing these concerns, we're talking about the Islamification
of the state of Texas. They went from come and

(28:19):
take it to please don't eat bacon and please don't
say anything that offends Muslims. I mean, we're talking about
an extreme culture shift in a state that is representative
of what it means to be free here in America.
And so there's a lot of symbolism too at the
bottom of we're really at the core, Steve, of what
these Islamic compounds are trying to accomplish when they resurrect

(28:43):
in places like Texas. Okay, we're talking about states that
have been historically read and progressively over time they've seen
a shift to becoming more purple as a result of
a legal immigration and these massive Democrat influence operations funded
by people like George Soros. To hit on something though
before before we go, sure, sure, you know, it's really

(29:05):
important that when President Trump goes on his tour of
Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Katar, which is upcoming in May,
that he brings this issue ups. It's kind of ironic,
isn't it that Qatar is funding the Muslim Brotherhood. Qatar
is funding all of these lawmakers on both sides of
the Aisle in Washington, D C. They're funding all of

(29:25):
these institutions and galas and events and all types of
different groups in Washington, d C, our nation's capital. Steve,
President Trump needs to be clear that there's going to
be a zero tolerance for Qatar funding the Muslim Brotherhood,
and I think that he should make it clear that
it's going to be the policy of the United States.
We're going to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization.

Speaker 14 (29:45):
Think about this.

Speaker 17 (29:46):
President Trump is going to be visiting UAE, Saudi Arabia,
and Qatar. Saudi Arabia and UA have already designated the
Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization and have both been
very critical of Qatar's continued funding of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Speaker 14 (29:59):
So why are still.

Speaker 17 (30:00):
Entertaining the funding of the Muslim Brotherhood here on us soil?
As I said before, the Holy Land Foundation terrorism trial
was supposed to result in groups like the Muslim Brotherhood
being designated, which would have then resulted in all of
these five oh one C threes, these Islamic charities that
are really just slush funds. The Holy Land Foundation terrorism
trial already proved that they were being funded by.

Speaker 14 (30:23):
Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.

Speaker 17 (30:24):
That's a way to shut down all of these Palestinian
organizations on college campuses. You don't need to get in
these contentious arguments with federal judges who want to engage
in a judicial coup. The quickest way to bypass all
of them so that you can deport Mahmud Khalil and
other students, so that you can revoke their visas, so
that you can shut down SJAP and shut down other
Islamic organizations that are literally designated as a C three

(30:49):
acxeductible charitable status. Steve is by designating the Muslim Brotherhood,
I don't really understand why this hasn't been done. It
seems like a really big waste of President Trump's time
for hisman inustration, getting in these judicial tit for tats
with these radical Marxist judges who are sympathetic to Muslim
invaders in our country, when he could just win with

(31:09):
the swipe of his pen designating the Muslim brotherhood, Laura.

Speaker 1 (31:15):
Where do people go to get your by the way,
quite profound, the President goes May thirteenth to fifteenth, We're
going to have wall to wall coverage on it, and
Laura will be back to give her assessment. Where do
people go to get your podcast? In? Particularly your Twitter
feed which is always on fire?

Speaker 3 (31:31):
Ma'am?

Speaker 1 (31:33):
Thank you.

Speaker 14 (31:33):
Yes, my show is called Lumer Unleashed.

Speaker 17 (31:35):
It's every Tuesday and Thursday at nine pm Eastern live
on Rumble, So please be sure you're following me on Rumble,
rumble dot com slash Laura Lumer.

Speaker 14 (31:43):
You can watch my show tonight.

Speaker 17 (31:44):
I'm actually going to be having an individual who works
for a Texas legislator on my show tonight to talk
about how Texas is being Islamified and why your state
might be next. And then you can follow me on
x AT Laura Lumer and on x at Lumer unleash bobwa.

Speaker 1 (32:02):
This is very important. I would give all our vast
audience in Texas a heads up. If you think Sourus
was tough to beat back with a stream fifty million dollars,
you ain't seen nothing. These folks are very determined and
we play the long tests. Thank you so much for
being on here.

Speaker 17 (32:15):
Call your representatives in Texas and demand that they do
not support these resolutions, because the media should be talking
about this more, but there's little to no coverage at
all about these Islamic resolutions. So be sure that if
you live in Texas you called them.

Speaker 1 (32:31):
They see what happened to you. Thank you, ma'am, love you,
Thank you the hammer Laura Lumer on a Thursday Sean Davis. Wow,
the federalists kind, I'm so excited about this. A couple
of things. Number one, a Steven Miller has a tweet
up talk about a judicial coup. A federal judge has
just come out in overruled President Trump's trying to get

(32:55):
illegal aliens to the country to make sure they have
to register of vote for voter IDs in the nation.
Talk to me about this judicial and he put up
judicial coup. I actually took it and retweeted or repost
on Getter saying it's a it's a federal bench couped
tagainst the president unized state your thoughts.

Speaker 18 (33:14):
He's exactly right, You're exactly right. So the constitution set
up so that we've got three branches of government. Got
the executive, the president got, Congress is the legislative, and
then we have the judiciary. Like everyone knows this. People
like to use the term co equal branches, which is nonsense.
There's three of them, but they're not equal in any way.

(33:36):
So Congress controls all the money. At one point they
controlled whether you could declare war or not. It's another
topic for another.

Speaker 1 (33:42):
Day, but it's it's exactly but we'll get to that.
The war party, they control the power of the person
and attacks yep, theoretically.

Speaker 18 (33:51):
And then the president runs the military, so he's got
the army. Congress has the money. What does the judiciary have.
I actually liken it a lot to the It's kind
of like the government equivalent of fiat currency. It only
has legitimacy and value as long as people think it
has legitimacy.

Speaker 3 (34:07):
And value.

Speaker 18 (34:07):
It's based entirely on perception. So if the president wants
to go and start a war, the judiciary, they could
come in to say.

Speaker 3 (34:14):
No, you can't do that, and he's like, all right,
stop me. They can't do it.

Speaker 18 (34:17):
So it's the weakest form, it's the weakest branch in
our government.

Speaker 3 (34:21):
By design.

Speaker 18 (34:22):
It was really just created to settle, not to be
the ultimate referee over the president and Congress.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
There was no judicial supremacy thought about about the framers
of the Constitution, of the founders of the nation.

Speaker 3 (34:34):
None.

Speaker 18 (34:34):
So what we've actually had over the past fifty maybe
one hundred hundred years is you have Congress kind of
slowly giving up its power so the executive gets a
little more, and at some point the judiciary just decided,
you know, we should get in on this game too,
Like if everyone's just grabbing power, that's not theirs.

Speaker 3 (34:51):
Let's have at it. And they've gotten out.

Speaker 18 (34:54):
Of control recently where it doesn't matter how crazy the
issue is. How so obviously they don't have the authority
to do it. You can go judge shop for a
lefty judge in DC and get a temporary restraining order
or an injunction in like a week. So my publication,
the Federalist, we were legally censored by our own government.

(35:16):
We filed suit a year and a half ago. There's
been no instant tros. Why were you censured for the
crime of telling the truth. By the way, I love
the Federalists. I want to talk.

Speaker 1 (35:28):
We're going to talk about how you started it. But
what did you do? What did they say you do?
Somebody took your court and sued you in the censure
we sued them.

Speaker 18 (35:35):
They were censoring us, using our money, with the explicit
goal of bankrupting us and shutting us down. It was
for saying things like COVID came from a lab in
China and the election wasn't on the up and up,
and yeah that really was Hunter's laptop. So they create
this entire we call it the censorship industrial Complex to
come and destroy us. And it had foreign entities, domestic entities, NGOs,

(36:00):
government organizations. We've been trying to get our day and
get our relief in court for a year and a
half and yet these people, many of whom aren't even citizens,
just roll into court in DC and band they've got
a tro protecting them. In like a week. It's outrageous,
It's not how our system was designed.

Speaker 1 (36:17):
Are we hurtling towards a constitutional crisis? About this situation
with the human trafficker, which now we've proven John Solomon
and Todd Benzman and Michael Patrick Leis Shrone he's a
human trafficker coming out of Houston, this individual in the jail,
den and El Salvador. Are we hurtling towards a constitutional

(36:37):
crisis the Supreme Court where they're going to basically have
the back they're going to get in the middle. You said,
the number one power of the presidency is to be
commander in chief in the unitary theory of the executive
and or what Mark Davis calls the Article two powers.
That they're going to challenge Trump's position as commander in
chief and then we're going to have a crisis.

Speaker 3 (36:59):
Are we hurtling of that right now?

Speaker 18 (37:00):
I think we're there already in the game they're playing.
You saw this with Boseberg in the DC circuit where
he clearly was trying to debate Trump into doing certain
things so he could slap them with contempt. Create this
narrative that Trump is going rogue and destroying the judiciary,
that it's the exact opposite.

Speaker 3 (37:18):
I mean, what do he means is the exact opposite.

Speaker 18 (37:20):
The judiciary is the one deliberately causing the crisis.

Speaker 3 (37:24):
Why do you say that, Well, you brought up Article two.

Speaker 18 (37:29):
The president has the power, has the obligation in fact,
to protect the US, to protect her borders. He swears
an oath to defend the constitution and the country in the.

Speaker 1 (37:39):
Unitary theory or Article two. He's the chief executive first,
so he can fire people and impound money if he
has to. Is the number two? He's commander in chief.
He's the commanderate with the armed forces. Nobody come between that.
Number three, he's the chief magistrate and the chief law
enforcement officer. They've wanted to since Wartergate hive off the
Justice Department. Those three powers. He has pedaled down to say, hey,

(38:02):
these are my powers and I'm going to use them.

Speaker 8 (38:04):
Right.

Speaker 18 (38:05):
That's what this war is right now exactly. Don't you
like how they call it the independent DJ. It's not
independent and reports to the president. It's an organ of
executive power. So yeah, you have the courts absolutely trying
to usurp the power of the presidency.

Speaker 3 (38:21):
You know, in one instance you had a.

Speaker 18 (38:22):
Judge ordering the president to turn around a military plane, Yeah,
not even knowing if it had enough gas in it
to turn around. Yes, that's madness, so in mid flight.
The example I would give is to what I think
the judiciary is doing is if you ever had siblings
or took a car trip, or you were the younger
sibling and you'd have someone start poking you, then maybe
take your hands, start hitting you in the face, stop

(38:44):
hitting yourself, and then as soon as you strike back,
you get in trouble. That's what the judiciary is doing
to Trump right now. They're practically begging for him to
respond so that they can play the victim and then
act as if they're somehow the bulwark protecting the country.

Speaker 1 (38:59):
When because I think by mid June we're going to
be there when they get to the Supreme Court and
the repub and even some of the Trump nominees don't
back him as commander in chief, then we're going to
have your issue that for many decades we have looked
the other way, are allowed this judicial judicial supremacy. We're

(39:19):
going to be in a dilemma right because they're going
to rule that he can't take these criminals and particularly
these alien invaders and send them out of the country
as commander in chief, and then we're going to be
in a dilemma.

Speaker 18 (39:31):
Correct, that's absolutely correct. And they're trying to set up
the narrative that they are the defenders of the democratic
order and he is the one who's aggressing against them,
and that's not what's happening. And I think he needs
to frame it properly. He has an obligation to defend
the country and defend the constitution, and to the extent
that judges are trying to steal authority, that's not theirs.

(39:54):
He isn't just authorized to ignore them. He is obligated.
He is duty bound to ignore.

Speaker 1 (40:01):
Not Yes, so he's got this is uh, I mean
this is he has no wiggle room here, correct?

Speaker 3 (40:06):
None.

Speaker 1 (40:06):
Do you think we got about thirty seconds and we're
gonna hold it through break? Do you think we're presenting
that case appropriately enough? As they're sitting there going we're
the defenders of due process, We're the defenders of the
democratic order.

Speaker 18 (40:18):
You know, We've always got the battle that we have
a completely corrupt corporate media, legacy, media propaganda press, whatever
you want to call them. All they do is lie.
They lie for the purpose of Democrat political activism. We're
always fighting them. I actually think on the right now
our side understands the messaging in the battle better than
it ever has before.

Speaker 3 (40:39):
Tougher. Okay, Sean Davis, the Federalists, the founder of the Federalists,
is with us. A short commercial break back in a moment.

Speaker 8 (40:48):
For the word of the walk kom we will buying
the long god we regal.

Speaker 13 (40:58):
Room.

Speaker 2 (40:58):
Confuse your Stephen K.

Speaker 8 (41:01):
Bath.

Speaker 1 (41:04):
Okay, I'm here with Sean Davis, the founder of the Federalists.
Why did you walk us over? The site's amazing? Why
did you decide to do it? And how did you
get so many great writers?

Speaker 18 (41:14):
So I before we started the Federalist, I had worked
in politics for a while on the hill, kind of
got sick of it, went to business school, caught the
entrepreneurship bug, ended up going to work at Daily Caller
for a couple of years as their CFO.

Speaker 3 (41:29):
And that's kind of how this was.

Speaker 1 (41:30):
Tucker was still there and he already punched up early
on this.

Speaker 3 (41:33):
This was nine some of the nine.

Speaker 1 (41:35):
This is when Breitbart and a Daily Caller, Andrew and
I were going daily We were so viciously competitive. Fact,
I remember Kaitlin Collins worked there. You guys had well,
I think we hired besides, we hired Matt Boyle, everybody
from you know, eventually all the great hires Tucker brought
in and trained, we hired.

Speaker 3 (41:52):
Eventually.

Speaker 1 (41:53):
It was vicious and Tucker was competitive.

Speaker 3 (41:56):
Andrew, those two guys were so competitive.

Speaker 18 (41:57):
So you were the CFO over there, I was, and
so kind of got a taste to conservative digital media.
Really liked it, and surveyed the landscape looking at more
of like the thoughtful, longer form stuff, and realized how
much of it on the right was total garbage. It
was based entirely out of d C. D C stocked
with DC thinkers, people who wanted more DC jobs, and

(42:20):
we had the idea, Yep, let's do the opposite. So
let's have let's have most of our people, most of
our writers, come from outside of DC, with normal jobs
and normal lives. And it took off, kind of took
on a life of its own. First person we hired
was Molly Hemingway, who's just the best.

Speaker 3 (42:40):
Pretty good Higher.

Speaker 18 (42:41):
I think we nailed it pretty good, Higher, And you know,
I think we've been in business now eleven and a
half years and going well despite the best efforts of
people trying.

Speaker 1 (42:52):
To kill What if you thought about every day, what
is one of the things you what's the center of
gravity of your coverage for the audience?

Speaker 3 (42:59):
What do you got I specialize in, So I.

Speaker 18 (43:01):
Think the best thing we do is we're able to
see the narrative that's forming from the other side before
it's fully formed, and then we try and go and
crush it.

Speaker 3 (43:12):
There there are times where the Federalists event is the
advanced guard in the narrative wars. Yeah, yeah, we're we're
and we talk about it.

Speaker 18 (43:19):
It's an information war and tip of the spear, you know,
front lines, whatever you want to call it.

Speaker 3 (43:27):
We go in, we take the bullets.

Speaker 18 (43:30):
I for one, don't particularly give a crap what people
in d C or in the establiment think about us,
so it doesn't bother me, and we go and take
the bullets and do the hard work. Sometimes we're able
to set the narrative ourselves. That's a lot harder, but
most of the time we're trying to look at what
nonsense are they peddling, and then what can we do
to blast that out of the sky.

Speaker 1 (43:51):
And kind of reset back to neutral your business model
and people should go and Grace and Mowe are put
up in the chat today the link to the Federalists'
wrong your business model.

Speaker 3 (44:01):
You don't have a paywall.

Speaker 1 (44:02):
When I go there, I can get the articles, you
have ads on them, but your ad sponsored. Because a
lot of people are going to the paywall or different
aspects of the paywall, or they have to give certain information.
You provide all this information to the reader. What is
it about your model that's different than other people. Well,
most people have gone off of the model that you're on.

Speaker 3 (44:20):
Yeah, and we do have one little paywall thing.

Speaker 18 (44:23):
If you want to contribute to the comments or not
have ads, we give you the ability to do that.
But when I started it, the whole point was we
want to save America. We're in this to change minds
and influence people, and you can't do that when you
put all your stuff behind a paywall.

Speaker 3 (44:40):
So we've got a hybrid.

Speaker 1 (44:41):
That's what I'm convinced too, that you've got to you
got to be ubiquitous, you've got to be out there everywhere.
You've got to figure out how to pay for it,
which is not easy in today's environment.

Speaker 18 (44:48):
And you know what it's it's a it's a tough
business to be in. We've gone to a hybrid profit
nonprofit model. But all I care about is saving the country.
That's it's it's why I get up every day. It's
what I think about every day. And you can't do
that if you're hiding all your content and charging people
have bought load of money to read it about you're going.

Speaker 1 (45:07):
To stick with me through the break And also, Chris
call was going to be here talk to me about
this moment in time about the intensity of just information.
I mean, every day it's flood the zone. But they're
ten or fifteen things that we could do as top
stories every day, and we get to maybe four of
them right or five.

Speaker 3 (45:24):
It's just so much. How do you guys decipher that?

Speaker 18 (45:28):
Yeah, it's more of an art than a science, I think,
at least to me, it's usually pretty obvious what the
main narrative is going to be. Right now, it's the
judicial coup against the president. That's kind of to you,
that's the through line, like the whole first.

Speaker 1 (45:44):
Because that's their lead tanks and they know that they've
got they've got some traction there. The Color Revolution. They're
trying the political things. A disaster for them, the Oligark tour.
But this is where this is where they think they
stopped Trump.

Speaker 18 (45:57):
Right it is, and you can you can see how
much Trump learned between the first term in this one.
When he came in, he didn't know how dead set
the bureaucracy in the administrative state was against him, and
it was like a sheep to the slaughter. This time around,
he understood, and he came in on day one and
just like did a red wedding and absolutely crushed them all.

(46:19):
Why they all lost their minds, like the USAID stuff
that apparently it was what was funding all of the
left wings, like shot, She comes in and just neuters
you know that right out of the gate. And I
think they realize no one likes us. We can't use
the bureaucracy against him. All we have are the media
in these rogue judges. So I guess that's that's how

(46:41):
we're going to.

Speaker 3 (46:41):
Fight this war.

Speaker 1 (46:42):
Sean David was going to hang around through the break.
