Bannon: “It appears to me, and sources I've talked to, that you have activists, left-wing activists, that are lying on the forms and lying in their interviews to get on this jury”

STEVE BANNON (HOST): I think Jesse Watters summed it up very well and of course they’re going after Trump. Alvin Bragg’s already going after Trump on this for retweeting or puting up on Truth Social what Jesse said last night on Fox. It appears to me, and sources I've talked to, that you have activists, you have left-wing activists that are lying on the forms and lying in their interviews to get on this jury to be able to say, you know, I'm the guy that hung Donald Trump.

Let me be blunt. The first guy that's there, at least it's been posted, is I think from Ireland, now a U.S. citizen, although I would check that with that Montauk crowd out there — being Irish myself I won't trust any of the Montauk crowd that said they had their papers are in order. But he filled out something in the form, or he said something that I just don't find — he said he watched both Fox and MSNBC.

Now, brother, besides the War Room team who bitch and moan every day about this, nobody in America watches both Fox and MSNBC. That's just a lie. So, I'm very disturbed, and I think Jesse Watters is onto something. I think there are activists that are lying. I don't know why Trump's people don't go for a mistrial right now, sir.

ANDREW GIULIANI (GUEST): Yeah, I think you're absolutely right, and I would not trust, really any of the opinions that any of these jurors end up saying. You really need to dig into your social media histories. You need to dig into all the public records. Get, you know, your private investigators out there looking into the histories of these people and trying to see whether or not they could actually be unbiased.
