The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals just handed the Trump administration a win, upholding a Department of Justice (DOJ) administrative subpoena seeking the personal and confidential health records of trans youth. The ruling cedes authority to the executive branch while making partisan points, and the dissenting judge pulled no punches.

STEVE BANNON (HOST): Why do they want all these phony scam, legal, quote unquote immigration plans? Because they gun decked the elections —

JACK POSOBIEC (GUEST): To usher in communism.

BANNON: They can't win if you just had American people, if you just had American citizens that were actually eligible to vote and you had elections that were certifiable on chain of custody votes, they would never win.

They understand this, by the way. They understand it quite thoroughly. It's our side that's confused.

This is why President Trump — we've got to stop yammering about the SAVE America Act. It's not going to happen. You know why it's not going to happen? Because John Thune and the donors don't want it to happen. They think it's racist. They think it's nativist. The ID, all of it. That's why they blocked it. That's why they treat President Trump like a lame duck. Today in the Senate, they're going to walk up and hit the gavel, and they're going to pretend to be in session. So, that President Trump — as they've done every day since President Trump's been in office from the first term, they treat him as a lame duck.

This is why we need a national emergency proclamation, a national emergency memo, about the upcoming elections.

You're going to have to have a forcing function to get to ID. You're going to have to have a forcing function not to have the phony mail-in ballots. You're going to have to have a forcing function, Jack Posobiec to have a up-armored — yes, a up-armored ICE presence at these polling booths, and they say, well, that's going to be intimidation. Well, it ain't intimidation if you're a United States citizen. It's an intimidation if you're a foreigner and here illegally and not eligible to vote. It should be intimidating. We don't want you there. We don't want you near a voting booth. We certainly don't want your votes, Posobiec.

POSOBIEC: Look, Steve, it's something I've said for years, even before President Trump came around, when I was working in the College Republicans, Young Republicans of Philadelphia, you might remember, the time when I gave a bunch of guys in the city of Philadelphia flip videos. You might recall the flip videos in the 2008 election.

And we got, we found a couple of the New Black Panthers that were standing outside the polling booth right there in Philadelphia. People can remember this story. It was, you know, on Fox when it went big. Drudge, before he lost his mind, he was covering it all over the place. That was a couple of my guys in Philadelphia who took the flip videos, and they were saying this is a poll for us. This isn't a poll for you, and they weren't letting people in. That was the New Black Panthers. And by the way, Eric Holder, when he was the attorney general under Barack Obama, dropped the case against the New Black Panthers of Philadelphia when my guys filmed them standing outside the doors there at that polling place. So Steve, targeting elections is what they do. They've done it from the very start. 

So I said, well, wait a minute. If they're going to put the New Black Panthers there, why couldn't we put law enforcement there just to make sure everything is copacetic, just to make sure everything's fine. And then if you're worried about illegals voting, why wouldn't you just park the truck? Just park a truck outside that just says ICE. Park a truck outside that just says ICE and gosh, Steve, could you imagine if patriots were just doing that on election day right where they live? They got a truck, then they just maybe just, maybe it's just an ICE truck. Maybe it's just a hot day in the south and they want to put some, have some ICE up on the ice truck and they have it there. Gosh, you know, wouldn't it be interesting to see the reaction or see what the effect that has, as a sociological experiment, what happens to voting patterns.

BANNON: But I don't think — Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, slow down, slow down. Hang on. And this is for the White House, for everybody.

We don't need gimmicks. We're in a revolution right now. And guess what? They think they're on a roll, OK, because you got a bunch of, first off, you have a capitalist system with no capitalists.

POSOBIEC: Steve, they are on a roll.

BANNON: You got a bunch of oligarchs.

POSOBIEC: New York has fallen.

BANNON: They're on a roll. Young people are sitting there going, you know, by 2 to 1 saying, hey, I like socialism because they've never really seen true capitalism.

What they've seen is crony capitalism and oligarch capitalism that allows everybody in the world in here to take their jobs coming out of college.
