STEVE BANNON (HOST): I want to go to John Case. John is at the tip of the spear in the Tina Peters situation. The President has pardoned her. We had you on the other day. Any update? People are more frustrated on this situation than just about everything.

And trust me, they’re frustrated on a lot of stuff where not enough action is taken in a bunch of different areas. But Tina Peters galls them. The situation galls them because of all the information that’s coming out now about the machines.

President Trump said yesterday at the Christmas party, maybe I’ll play that clip later if we can pull it, that there’s tons, boatloads of information now, specifically about the machines and mail in ballots that they’re collecting. I think he’s got Kurt Olson as a special assistant in the White House collecting that, and they’re prepared to start putting it forward.

That only makes the situation with Tina Peters, who’s a political prisoner, basically held in captivity by the Colorado state government, even worse.

Any update, John Case?

JOHN CASE (GUEST): Yes. Since President Trump issued the pardon, Tina has been kept in a new solitary confinement portion of the prison. She has a detail of four special Department of Corrections officers that accompany her everywhere.

She’s grateful because she has a new four inch mattress instead of the two inch mattress she had before, in her cell, and she has a microwave. But she still has four corrections officers accompanying her everywhere she goes.

She still has her cough, and she has not had the necessary PET CT scan that’s recommended for people like her with a cough and a history of lung cancer.

Tina wanted me to mention that she’s very grateful to your listeners, Steve, for their prayers and for their financial support at tinapeters.us. People can get the latest information and support Tina at tinapeters.us.

Colorado officials are saying that Attorney General Phil Weiser and Colorado Secretary of State Jenna Griswold are saying that Trump doesn’t have the authority to pardon Tina Peters, so they’re going to keep her in a state prison.

Now, I was wondering, Steve, aren’t Griswold and Weiser the same people who claimed that Colorado had the authority to remove Trump from the 2024 ballot? Didn’t President Trump fight that all the way to the United States Supreme Court? And didn’t the Supreme Court unanimously rule that Colorado didn’t have the authority under the Constitution to remove Trump from the ballot?

So who should people trust, Jenna Griswold or Donald Trump? He pardoned her because she was performing a federal duty to preserve election records.

The Venezuelan whistleblower who examined the election forensic image Tina preserved found the same fourteen vulnerabilities present in the Smartmatic software used to rig elections in Venezuela and around the world. Colorado uses a variation of that same Smartmatic software. Venezuelan whistleblowers have testified to this under oath.

The people who allowed this to happen want Tina kept in state prison where she can’t testify or speak in public.

Tina performed her duty under federal law to preserve election records on the Mesa County computers. This is why Trump was right to pardon her, and she will prevail when justice is finally done.

STEVE BANNON (HOST): So, what are we going to do about it, John?

JOHN CASE (GUEST): Well, Steve, as you know, on November 12 the Federal Bureau of Prisons offered to take Tina into their custody as a state prisoner, without charge to the state of Colorado. With their own personal detail of four guards, it’s got to be costing Colorado taxpayers much more than the sixty four thousand dollars a year per prisoner that they budget.

So why don’t they transfer Tina to federal custody while the pardon issue is litigated? Why? Because Tina’s mission is to return Colorado to the voting system that worked here for one hundred twenty five years. Voting in person, with ID, in your precinct, on Election Day, using paper ballots, and hand counting the ballots in the precincts. If there’s ever a question, the entire process is repeatable.

But in Colorado, we use a variation of the Smartmatic system used in Venezuela. The people in power say, well, the computer says the Democrats won, so they won. We’re not going to have audits. We’re just going to do what the computer says.

That’s right. We need transparent elections. That’s what Tina stands for. That’s our mission, to return to that voting system. And we appreciate the support of your listeners at tinapeters.us. Thank you, Steve, for having me on.

STEVE BANNON (HOST): John, you’re a patriot. Heroes all. The team, just people looking out every day to make contact with the prison. I just want to give a shout out to all the volunteers that work for Tina Peters, that have been fighting the good cause.

Think about it. For a country that had a revolution, then fought a civil war, then kicked out all the imperial powers, France, Britain, Spain, all of it. North America, World War II, then took down the Soviet Union in the Cold War. This time, we’re talking about political prisoners.

We have a political prisoner. That’s not right.

We’ve got military hardware and the most troops in jeopardy the United States has had since the Gulf War, maybe bigger than the Gulf War, everything since Vietnam. What we’ve got there and what we’re prepared to deploy is on the same issue Tina Peters fought against and warned us about.

John Case, you have social media, sir? I know you’re old school, but anything people can do to get to you?

JOHN CASE (GUEST): No, Steve. Just go to tinapeters.us.
