'Sleepy Joe went after the Congressman'

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan has subpoenaed former special counsel Jack Smith to appear for a closed-door deposition Dec. 17, escalating the committee's probe into Smith's prosecutions of Donald Trump and several co-defendants.

President Donald Trump is pardoning Democrat Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas after the Biden administration charged him and his wife with bribery.

Trump announced on Truth Social a “full and unconditional PARDON of beloved Texas Congressman Henry Cuellar, and Imelda.”

“Henry, I don’t know you,” the president wrote, “but you can sleep well tonight—Your nightmare is finally over.”

Former President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice brought charges against Cuellar and his wife, Imelda, in May 2024 for bribery, money laundering, working on behalf of a foreign government, and conspiracy.

Cueller was one of the biggest Democrat critics of the Biden border crisis, which he described as “just letting everybody in.”

“For years, the Biden Administration weaponized the Justice System against their Political Opponents, and anyone who disagreed with them,” Trump wrote in his post announcing the pardon. “One of the clearest examples of this was when Crooked Joe used the FBI and DOJ to ‘take out’ a member of his own Party after Highly Respected Congressman Henry Cuellar bravely spoke out against Open Borders, and the Biden Border ‘Catastrophe.’

“Sleepy Joe went after the Congressman, and even the Congressman’s wonderful wife, Imelda, simply for speaking the TRUTH,” Trump continued. “It is unAmerican and, as I previously stated, the Radical Left Democrats are a complete and total threat to Democracy! They will attack, rob, lie, cheat, destroy, and decimate anyone who dares to oppose their Far Left Agenda, an Agenda that, if left unchecked, will obliterate our magnificent Country.”

A blanket of snow settled into Cincinnati overnight

The media is pushing a scripted blue wave to demoralize the base, but MAGA voters just proved that engagement beats their narrative every time.

WATCH THE CLIP BELOW:

This clip aired on WarRoom’s morning show on December 3, 2025. Transcript begins below (lightly edited for clarity; may contain minor errors).

 

[COLD OPEN]

STEVE BANNON (HOST): It’s Wednesday, 3 December, Year of Our Lord 2025. We’re packed today of things to go through. You saw, and we’ve got David Zier, Poso, an entire team at the Pentagon right now. They’re in a briefing, a behind closed door briefing, and they’re going to be out, I think, momentarily at the bottom of the hour for us to get both David Zere and Posobiec, a lot going on the national security front.

I want to go back. You saw, okay, why do we play things that upset you early in the morning before you’ve, you know, maybe some of you, particularly on the West Coast, have not gotten to your Warpath coffee? We do it to make sure that you understand how the narrative is being set by the opposition, by the enemy of MAGA, the enemy of President Trump.

You saw CNN. You see the joy? I mean, you see the exuberance. They’re talking about a blue wave and they’re sitting there spiking the football.

Look, the takeaway from yesterday is when MAGA engages, because this thing was a dead heat. In fact, we were down on the early vote. When MAGA engages over those four or five days that people worked and the communications got out there and clear communication lines, and then the candidate, who I agree with CNN was a terrific candidate, a combat veteran, kind of from central casting, when all of that got out, you had a massive blowout.

As Michael Patrick Leahy told us, if you represent on game day, you’re going to have a blowout. And Leahy told me beforehand, hey, I think we win this thing by nine or ten points if people turn up, and people turned up.

Don’t look at the 13 point swing. That’s not particularly relevant. What’s relevant in this race and the most important thing overall is people’s engagement in the process.

When people finally got engaged in this process over the long Thanksgiving weekend, and then on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, they get out the vote, the focus in very cold, bitter weather. There were blowout numbers, which the Democrats were not expecting, on election day, on game day. This is what we’re going to have to depend upon in the midterm elections.

This is all about getting out low information, low propensity voters who oftentimes have, if Trump’s not on the ballot, if Trump’s not there, we’re just not interested. We’re going to have to engage those people every day.

Now the other part of this on the cold open was the ADP payroll number, particularly for small business. Once again, I think CNBC is just making it up. There is no evidence that anybody’s put forward, and I mean hard evidence, that the tariffs are having anything to do with this. Maybe softening and slight softening in small business.

What I think it reinforces is the interest rate situation, and this is why President Trump’s pick for the Federal Reserve, and if Powell’s going to give up his seat as governor, which we’ll get to later in the week, the complexity of this.

Right now, I think this is about interest rates and about the way the Fed miscalculates interest rates, and Powell refuses to respond. Now, there’s supposed to be another cut in December, but knowing Powell and particularly knowing how vindictive he is against the president and MAGA and the Trump administration, I’m sure he’s not going to give any guidance to additional cuts coming in 26.

So what does this all mean? Tariffs, which is the point, the tariffs are a forcing function. When those kick in, and they will kick in sometime at 26, you’ll start to get massive GDP growth, massive GDP per capita growth, jobs, wages, whatever. And I’ve said, hey, you may have a gap there before it totally kicks in. I think you may be seeing that gap, at least a little bit of it, on this ADP number.

You saw the way, the reason we wanted to play the Harry Anton thing in its entirety, intercut with what the Democratic candidate was saying last night, is the exuberance. The mainstream media is going to try to bury President Trump. They’ve tried this from the very beginning when he came down the escalator.

You guys know it. You’ve been ringside. You have been the force that put him on your shoulders when the establishment basically stole, and the globalists stole, and the deep state stole the 2020 election for the greatest comeback in history.

And this is why I think it’s incumbent upon now action, action, action. You’re having essentially a fistfight between Elise Stefanik and Johnson right now on the NDAA, on certain elements of it tied to intelligence and tied to Arctic Frost and tied to everything that the deep state has tried to do to Trump to tear him apart, that Jamie Raskin has been able to block some things and put some other things in there, and she says it’s not acceptable, and she’s gone public with it.

If now we ever had a clarion call for more direct action, direct action, action, action, it has to be now.

And I realize President Trump now has the thing that blocking immigration and, you know, cutting off all the illegal immigrants from tax benefits, which, hey, I think most people figured we did that day one, but hey, if we didn’t, that’s fine, let’s do it today.

But as importantly, you know, Boasberg, the judge, I think, is refusing to come over at an invitation to testify, and I believe it’s even behind closed door to the House. It’s time now to impeach him, to go after him with more indictments right now against the deep state.

And this is why we will have, you know, Poso and Zere from the Pentagon. God bless the fact that, you know, you’re in Moscow, you’re here, you’re there, you’re all these places. BB’s coming to Mar a Lago. That’s all fine. But the priority has to be here.

And even there, even in these situations, it’s how it relates back directly. And the taxpayer and the citizen understands we’re in Moscow to try to end this war because this directly affects you. We don’t have to shovel any more money in there.

Or we’re in Venezuela because we’re tired of the drugs coming up and also that they were in back of one of the big parts in back of the invasion of the country. Or in Israel, we’re finally shutting this thing down and it’s become a secondary thought, as it should be. It’s a side show to a side show.

You’ve got to get back to the main event. And the main event is here. And we got our work cut out for us. But he’s here, Harry Enton, the blue wave is building. Look at that. Look how jacked up they are.

And that is on the 3rd of December of 2025. As they get any analytics at all that support their theory, you’re going to have your nose rubbed in it every day. And they’re going to try to build a psychological way by convincing the American people, and particularly in convincing MAGA, it’s too late.

This is what they tried to do in Tennessee. And you represented, and I mean overrepresented on game day, to lead to a blowout number, a nine point win. Don’t forget that, a nine point win. They were hoping for something like two or three.

Snowplows were involved in eight of the crashes

The State Department on Wednesday boosted its reward for information leading to the arrest or conviction of Giovanni Vicente Mosquera Serrano, a top Tren de Aragua (TdA) boss widely considered one of the most dangerous criminals in the Western Hemisphere.

Democrats have spent the better part of two decades branding themselves as protectors of working Americans. But when you examine their actual policy choices rather than their press releases, a consistent pattern emerges: Their interventions routinely raise costs, distort markets, and ultimately hurt the very people they claim to champion. Their latest foray into student lending and consumer credit is a case study in that contradiction.

A chorus of congressional progressives—led, predictably, by Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders—is now demanding that President Donald Trump halt his administration’s effort to sell off portions of the federal student loan portfolio. Their reasoning is as political as it is transparent: They want to keep these loans on the government’s books so they can one day engineer a mass “forgiveness” program. Lost in this rhetoric is the structural reality that Washington’s heavy-handed role in student lending is one of the primary drivers of soaring tuition. When the federal government guarantees easy credit, institutions raise prices accordingly. The Warren-Sanders model—limitless federal lending paired with periodic political promises of forgiveness—gives colleges every incentive to hike tuition further, secure in the knowledge that taxpayers will absorb the fallout.

Trump’s policy moves in the opposite direction. Transferring significant portions of the loan portfolio to private entities reduces federal exposure, reins in a program plagued by delinquency, and returns loan management to organizations equipped to handle it. For decades, Democrats warned about runaway deficits; yet when confronted with an opportunity to reduce a structurally unsound federal liability, these same voices insist taxpayers should shoulder even more risk.

The inconsistency is striking—but it’s also revealing.

Because even as they fight to prevent a modest correction in the Student Loan Program, Democrats are simultaneously pushing for a national 10% cap on credit card interest rates. As economist Stephen Moore has shown in his analysis of credit markets, such a cap would instantly make millions of at-risk borrowers unprofitable to serve, drying up access to mainstream credit almost overnight. The data is clear: Unsecured lending only functions when lenders can price for risk. Eliminate that price signal and lenders retreat.

That retreat hits hardest among the populations Democrats claim to champion. Higher-risk borrowers—young adults, gig workers, families with limited savings, individuals recovering from financial setbacks—rely on access to revolving credit to manage unexpected expenses, smooth income volatility, or simply build a credit history. If Washington dictates that lenders may not charge more than 10% interest on unsecured credit, banks will respond exactly as any rational actor would: They will stop offering credit to borrowers whose risk profile exceeds the artificial ceiling.

And here is the deeper irony. In higher education policy, Warren and Sanders insist on maintaining federally subsidized lending structures that inflate tuition and embed perverse incentives throughout the system. Colleges raise prices because Washington promises unlimited credit and then flirts with broad forgiveness. In consumer credit policy, those same lawmakers champion restrictions that will make legal credit scarce precisely when vulnerable households most need it. The result is a double blow: escalating education costs on the front end and shrinking credit availability on the back end.

This creates a perverse policy loop. Federal interventions make college more expensive. Families borrow more to keep up. Tuition continues to rise. Then, when those same families need access to credit to manage expenses, progressive policymakers seek to cap rates at levels that make offering that credit impossible. What starts as misguided paternalism ends as a direct assault on household financial stability.

A responsible government would reverse both trends. It would acknowledge that federal overreach in student lending has driven tuition inflation for years and welcome efforts to reduce taxpayer risk. And it would recognize that capping interest rates on unsecured credit below market-clearing levels doesn’t protect consumers—it excludes them.

Yet Democrats want it both ways: unlimited government risk when it fuels their preferred political narratives, and heavy-handed restrictions on private credit markets when it yields a populist talking point. Trump’s approach—restoring fiscal discipline in student lending while letting market forces allocate credit—is the only one grounded in economic reality. More importantly, it is the only approach that actually protects working Americans from the long-term consequences of distorted credit markets and runaway tuition.
