00:00:00.320 April 2nd, 2025 will forever be remembered as the day American industry was reborn,
00:00:08.280 the day America's destiny was reclaimed, and the day that we began to make America wealthy again.
00:00:17.180 We're going to make it wealthy. Good luck.
00:00:21.260 Trulor has promised on a campaign trail and to address a growing national emergency
00:00:26.860 over America's chronic and massive trade deficits.
00:00:31.180 President Trump has imposed tariffs on countries around the world.
00:00:35.740 The Trumpnomics goal is not only to reduce America's trade deficit,
00:00:40.500 it is to defend American workers and factories against unfair trade practices
00:00:46.280 while encouraging trillions of dollars of investment in new American plant and equipment.
00:00:53.060 The policy is working for America, and no one should be surprised by this.
00:00:59.420 This is because before the word tariff became synonymous with President Donald Trump,
00:01:05.820 generations of American statesmen built the foundation for today's America First agenda.
00:01:13.240 Their ideas were rooted in three core principles,
00:01:16.660 sovereignty, security, and the protection of American workers.
00:01:22.740 Economic nationalism, also known as economic populism, isn't new.
00:01:28.100 It's a return to the proven economic model that built the greatest industrial power in world history.
00:01:34.800 So far we have not seen.
00:01:36.100 And so far we haven't seen it yet.
00:01:37.280 It was a major, like, catastrophic prediction, right?
00:01:40.680 Right.
00:01:40.760 The pannikins, the whole world's going to fall apart.
00:01:43.340 And we just haven't seen that.
00:01:44.960 And I think there does need to be a little contrition by economic ruling class.
00:01:49.240 Like, hey, back when we were saying this was going to be the worst thing for the global markets ever,
00:01:54.720 it turns out what it has done is it re-centered America as the center point of the world economy,
00:01:59.380 that people wanted to invest in this country.
00:02:01.460 It started with Alexander Hamilton, the original architect of American economic nationalism.
00:02:07.300 In his report on manufacturers, Hamilton laid it out clearly.
00:02:13.720 The United States needed tariffs to defend its young industries from British domination
00:02:18.540 and to secure true independence, not just politically, but economically.
00:02:25.220 Hamilton knew that if America relied on foreign powers for manufactured goods,
00:02:30.820 it would always be vulnerable.
00:02:32.580 Decades later, Henry Clay carried Hamilton's vision forward.
00:02:38.940 His American system prioritized three things, a strong national bank,
00:02:44.380 major infrastructure investment, and above all, protective tariffs.
00:02:49.960 Clay said it best in 1824.
00:02:53.400 The tariff is to tax the produce of foreign industry with the view of promoting American industry.
00:03:00.020 That's the same logic President Trump used nearly 200 years later
00:03:05.660 when he invoked Section 232 to impose tariffs on steel and aluminum
00:03:11.120 to stop foreign overproduction and dumping from crushing American jobs.
00:03:17.060 Like Trump, Clay faced fierce opposition.
00:03:20.520 The Southern-led nullification crisis sparked by the tariffs of 1828 and 1832 nearly tore the country apart.
00:03:31.780 But the principle held protect American industry or risk dependence on foreign powers.
00:03:39.660 Then came Abraham Lincoln, the first Republican president.
00:03:43.600 Lincoln proudly called himself an old-line Henry Clay wig and understood the value of tariffs.
00:03:52.320 A country that's brought, that's genuinely brought together, that trusts what's happening,
00:03:58.040 that feels that everything is credible, that there's a coming together.
00:04:02.640 I assume you want that?
00:04:03.740 Of course, but in a post-COVID world.
00:04:04.800 How could that ever happen with the left?
00:04:06.460 Yeah, and again, how could that ever happen with the left or the right?
00:04:09.740 I think with the, I totally agree.
00:04:11.300 And I would just say, look, in a post-COVID world, we have not.
00:04:13.880 So I'm just an idealist to believe that we can.
00:04:15.420 No, hold on, hold on, Andrew.
00:04:16.220 You're not the left.
00:04:16.900 You're not intolerant.
00:04:18.020 You know where I'm going with this.
00:04:19.140 We did not receive any apologies from the ruling class that lied to us repeatedly during COVID.
00:04:24.500 The lockdowns, the efficacy of the vaccine, mask mandates, school closures, and we just act as if it didn't happen.
00:04:31.520 And I don't think the American ruling class understands the undermining of their credibility that happened
00:04:35.980 when the entire country had their lives thwarted, especially young people.
00:04:40.220 We're just supposed to, like, reopen the country and be like, well, why don't you trust us anymore?
00:04:44.120 Well, it's because, oh, yeah, the Hunter Biden laptops, Russian disinformation, 50 Intel operations signed this letter.
00:04:49.320 And you know I'm making a good point here because there was no there was no contrition.
00:04:53.740 That's just that's just one example.
00:04:55.360 And again, I could go one after the other.
00:04:57.300 No, I would say that actually COVID to me, I mean, this is actually generational, is actually very much like the 2008 crisis in a way.
00:05:05.420 That spawned Occupy Wall Street.
00:05:07.480 This has sort of spawned a different sort of political movement.
00:05:10.140 Do you want to do Russian collusion?
00:05:11.480 Do you want to do the laptop?
00:05:12.800 Do you want to do I mean, take your pick on the way things are covered in this country.
00:05:16.740 All I'm all I'm suggesting, though, is this full on constant re-litigation of what took place in the past as opposed to a clear eyed view of what's happening.
00:05:27.120 I would I would just interject respectfully that it's not just really.
00:05:31.020 First of all, no one was held accountable largely for what happened.
00:05:34.480 That's why I said it's sort of like 2008, because a lot of people thought all those bankers were supposed to go to jail.
00:05:39.140 And honestly, there should have been.
00:05:40.840 I think there should have been some administration of justice.
00:05:43.340 That's a separate issue.
00:05:44.020 I was I was young at the time.
00:05:45.560 I can only speak about what we're living through now.
00:05:47.060 And a lot of the covid injustices we are still seeing today with younger people and their ability to own homes, with the inflation that President Trump is trying to fix that was inherited by Joe Biden.
00:05:57.440 So what I'm getting at, and I know a lot of the C-suite of America watches this program.
00:06:01.920 They might understand where is this populist fervor coming from, is that you have missed the mark on so many of the core proclamations you made to the American people.
00:06:10.160 Explain to me that the Civil War tariff revenues helped finance the Union Army.
00:06:16.240 And after the war, they fueled a rapid industrial expansion.
00:06:20.660 Lincoln knew that protecting American industry meant protecting American workers and protecting the American nation itself.
00:06:29.160 Fast forward to the late 19th century.
00:06:32.040 William McKinley, son of an iron worker and a cycle of clay, took up the mantle.
00:06:37.920 In 1890, he passed one of the highest protective tariffs in U.S. history, with duties exceeding 50 percent.
00:06:46.940 In his 1896 campaign, McKinley declared, I'm a tariff man standing on a tariff platform.
00:06:55.560 McKinley won, and under his leadership, the United States became the world leader in agriculture, mining, and manufacturing.
00:07:06.780 He credited that success directly to the protective trade system.
00:07:13.640 This is one of the most important days, in my opinion, in American history.
00:07:19.260 It's our declaration of economic independence.
00:07:24.000 For years, hardworking American citizens were forced to sit on the sidelines as other nations got rich and powerful, much of it at our expense.
00:07:33.800 But now it's our turn to prosper, and in so doing, use trillions and trillions of dollars to reduce our taxes and pay down our national debt, and it'll all happen very quickly.
00:07:45.320 With today's action, we are finally going to be able to make America great again, greater than ever before.
00:07:54.460 The fake news wants us to believe these are fringe ideas, but history teaches us this is the American tradition.
00:08:03.740 President Trump's trade agenda, especially his bold use of tariffs, draws along this long line of economic nationalism.
00:08:12.020 Explain to me, then, the ascension of Mondani.
00:08:16.940 Well, it's fair.
00:08:17.380 I mean, because Mondani can be easily explained.
00:08:19.340 It could be cathartic.
00:08:20.200 We need to go through this, like, once every 25 years.
00:08:22.980 You know, I would, I would, I hope you're right.
00:08:26.040 Let's just hope nobody dies, because that's what usually happens with communism.
00:08:29.200 But look, Mondani can be best understood as a, the people that voted for him are actually more college educated than they are working class.
00:08:37.320 But I think it's all driven by economic anxiety.
00:08:40.020 I think it's people that don't own stuff.
00:08:41.240 I think it's driven by 700,000 people in a city of 8 million.
00:08:44.040 Right, but my worry about populism.
00:08:44.620 That's right.
00:08:45.060 My worry about populism is, and this is true on both sides of the populist situation, that effectively voters get lied to.
00:08:53.060 They get lied to about what the politicians can actually do for them.
00:08:56.900 That's what populism actually is.
00:08:58.780 But the technocrats have been lying to us.
00:09:00.260 It's not like, this idea that populists are going to lie.
00:09:02.860 President Trump's the one that's actually kept his promises.
00:09:05.120 He said he was going to secure the border, and he did.
00:09:07.100 He said he was going to appoint the people of the Supreme Court.
00:09:09.660 But I would just say, beyond Mondani-ism, the thing I want to caution your audience is you're going to get Magione-ism.
00:09:16.020 You're going to get one-off violent targeting of people with money if we do not rebuild the American middle class.
00:09:22.680 I think President Trump is doing that.
00:09:23.920 The numbers show that.
00:09:25.120 So I think we're not, we're not, we look at this, oh, Mondani's the problem.
00:09:28.800 The C-suite of this country should want MAGA.
00:09:30.780 We will deal with you.
00:09:31.960 We'll do a deal.
00:09:33.100 We'll bring you in the room.
00:09:34.280 We'll talk about tax cuts, tension between capital and labor, because the alternative is Magione and Mondani, and you don't want that.
00:09:41.460 From Hamilton to Clay, from Lincoln to McKinley, and now President Donald John Trump, the core idea has remained the same.
00:09:51.560 Put American workers first.
00:09:53.760 Build American industry.
00:09:55.780 Protect American sovereignty.
00:09:57.920 This is the heart of the America first agenda.
00:10:03.580 It's not new.
00:10:05.120 It's certainly not radical.
00:10:07.680 It's the most American economic policy in history.
00:10:12.080 Five leaders, one philosophy.
00:10:16.200 Make tariffs great again.
00:10:19.420 Make America great again.
00:10:20.760 Trump promises made.
00:10:23.380 Trump promises always kept.
00:10:26.500 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:10:32.620 Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.
00:10:39.020 Here's the reason I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
00:10:43.280 The people have had a belly full of it.
00:10:45.180 I know you don't like hearing that.
00:10:46.640 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
00:10:49.300 It's going to happen.
00:10:50.360 And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
00:10:53.880 Mega Media.
00:10:55.320 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:11:00.740 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:11:04.520 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:11:10.700 War Room.
00:11:11.720 Here's your host, Stephen K. Band.
00:11:20.360 Wednesday, 13 August, in the year of our Lord, 2025, we are head to, we're reformatting the show a little bit this morning.
00:11:28.040 President Trump, because President Trump is going to the Kennedy Center at 11 o'clock, I believe at 11.15.
00:11:34.980 This is all current schedule.
00:11:36.200 On 11.15, he's going to give some remarks about the Kennedy Awards, I think, that will be presented in December.
00:11:44.820 I think he'll make the announcement of the recipients today.
00:11:47.560 Also, I think he's going to make some comments maybe about the Smithsonian Institute.
00:11:51.900 President Trump seizing the high ground.
00:11:55.040 Remember we told you back at the beginning of this administration, the second term, third victory, second term, about seizing the institutions.
00:12:02.960 Well, guess what?
00:12:04.680 President Donald John Trump is seizing them.
00:12:07.100 I want to thank our team, the producers on the War Room, also Denver, for a magnificent cut.
00:12:14.340 Now, that was two things we put together.
00:12:16.220 Number one, Dr. Peter Navarro did an amazing, it's about a six and a half or seven minute film about tariffs, the American system.
00:12:25.880 We're going to link to that.
00:12:27.000 You've got to see that in its entirety.
00:12:28.760 It's fantastic.
00:12:29.520 But we intercut that with Charlie Kirk, gave a star turn this morning on CNBC, Squawk Box.
00:12:36.280 And you saw Andrew Ross Sorkin.
00:12:37.960 Andrew Ross Sorkin is one of the lead columnists for The New York Times, economic columnist.
00:12:42.720 And he's throughout, you've seen him on Morning Joe.
00:12:45.480 Obviously, he's one of the co-anchors of Squawk Box, very prominent guy.
00:12:50.700 And I thought Charlie did an amazing job of walking through populist nationalism.
00:12:55.960 That, I think, is almost 20 minutes.
00:12:57.980 We're also going to link to that.
00:12:59.300 So you've got to see.
00:13:00.060 And I think the great Citizen Kane over at Citizens Free Press has already put it up.
00:13:05.900 Kane's always ahead of the curve.
00:13:07.720 The curve.
00:13:08.560 So Kane's already got it up.
00:13:10.420 Today, folks are on fire and pressing for it.
00:13:15.060 They're in meltdown that Charlie Kirk was actually on Squawk Box today.
00:13:18.860 Absolute meltdown from the establishment.
00:13:21.920 Charlie did, like I said, a great job.
00:13:23.600 Star turn.
00:13:24.500 Peter Navarro, fantastic.
00:13:26.340 I'm going to get up in a moment as soon as I can get a little more organized.
00:13:29.380 Kobayashi, the great guy up on Twitter, has an amazing, I think it's 10, tweet thread.
00:13:38.160 On tariffs.
00:13:39.860 Of how, what tariffs are really redoing is the external revenue service.
00:13:45.100 Tariff cash is pouring in and inflation is nowhere to be found.
00:13:49.760 As Kobayashi says, all we have to do now is cut spending.
00:13:53.280 Okay, we've got a lot of great news today.
00:13:56.460 Steve Camerata is going to join us for the Center for Immigration Studies.
00:13:59.920 A blockbuster report put up of these guys.
00:14:03.560 2.2 million foreign nationals leave the United States between January and June of this year.
00:14:11.620 This is what we voted for, right?
00:14:13.740 Of that 1.6 million are illegal aliens.
00:14:16.480 He'll be here to break it all down.
00:14:17.620 Also, John Lott about President Trump deployed the National Guard and other federal agencies into the imperial capital last night to get good order and discipline.
00:14:27.020 John Lott will be here.
00:14:27.800 And, of course, John Solomon breaking news on seditious conspiracy.
00:14:31.340 We're going to Texas.
00:14:32.280 The Senate voted to pass the new map for redistricting.
00:14:39.080 Of course, the hapless governor and, quite frankly, disappointing lieutenant governor are running out of days because they let these guys get away.
00:14:46.380 And you're going to have to have another special session.
00:14:48.280 We're going to break everything down to you, including the president's trip, his visit, over to the Kennedy Center in about 45 minutes.
00:14:55.880 Short commercial break.
00:14:56.980 Back in the warm in just a moment.
00:14:58.240 This July, there is a global summit of BRICS nations in Rio de Janeiro, the bloc of emerging superpowers, including China, Russia, India, and Persia, are meeting with the goal of displacing the United States dollar as the global currency.
00:15:15.580 They're calling this the Rio Reset.
00:15:18.840 As BRICS nations push forward with their plans, global demand for U.S. dollars will decrease, bringing down the value of the dollar in your savings.
00:15:26.540 While this transition won't not happen overnight, but trust me, it's going to start in Rio.
00:15:33.440 The Rio Reset in July marks a pivotal moment when BRICS objectives move decisively from a theoretical possibility towards an inevitable reality.

00:16:57.540 You are in Chicago where a number of those Texan elected officials have basically been camping out.
00:17:04.560 And you've got some reporting on their plans.
00:17:07.000 What can you tell us?
00:17:09.940 Yeah, so they're here for the duration.
00:17:12.060 And there are, you know, there's a lot of different messaging going on, right?
00:17:16.920 And what they're trying to do is essentially say, look, even if in the long run this gets passed and we, you know, lose,
00:17:25.720 we just brought attention to something that if we had done nothing, voters would have just rolled over and not even had known what just happened.
00:17:36.720 No one really listens to redistricting voters' eyes glaze over, right?
00:17:41.020 But when you start doing things like reporting on Texas Democrats leaving and pairing that with people like J.B. Pritzker and people like Gavin Newsom, Dick Durbin,
00:17:51.380 I mean, they have had every single day they've had a major, you know, contingent of House Democrats from Congress come in, governors, senators.
00:18:04.480 So they're really trying to raise awareness on this.
00:18:08.800 And I've heard enough.
00:18:11.300 We wouldn't have to listen to that if folks in Texas would take more dramatic action.
00:18:17.520 Brian Harrison joins us.
00:18:18.880 Brian, thank you.
00:18:20.420 And thank you for your Twitter feed to keep us all up to speed of what's going on.
00:18:23.320 We're at a runway here, are we not?
00:18:25.840 The Texas Senate did vote because the Warren Posse got on him, did vote.
00:18:30.020 But it looks like because the hapless governor, and he's hapless, unless forced to do something, he won't do it.
00:18:37.420 And then he comes on like, you know, it's all rhetoric, no action.
00:18:41.060 The lieutenant governor is quite disappointing in this, too.
00:18:43.720 It runs out in, what, 48 hours?
00:18:45.700 We're finished Friday.
00:18:46.440 We've got to go and do it again.
00:18:47.740 And now they're making, oh, we'll do it as many times as possible.
00:18:50.220 You shouldn't have had to do it the first time.
00:18:51.560 You should have done it in the regular session.
00:18:53.280 And what's very disappointing is that you don't have the flood relief with the Kerrville situation, and you didn't grapple with the property taxes.
00:19:01.160 The two things a special session were supposed to do, you never got to.
00:19:04.700 Brian Harrison.
00:19:06.080 Yeah, I mean, let's take a step back for two seconds.
00:19:07.940 I mean, Texas has a reputation.
00:19:09.780 People think of Texas.
00:19:10.560 They think of a state that leads in individual liberty and freedom and low taxes and low regulations and bold conservative government.
00:19:17.380 But the reality is that's just a myth.
00:19:19.380 And Texas has been just coasting on that reputation for far too long.
00:19:23.580 And when we were on the floor yesterday, I mean, our embarrassing, feckless rhino speaker of the Texas House, who was elected by the Democrats, can't forget this, effectively just hoisted up the white flag of surrender and said, we're not even going to pretend anymore.
00:19:35.680 He gave the entire House, effectively, a three-day hall pass to get us to win Friday.
00:19:40.300 And what happens Friday?
00:19:41.740 The session ends.
00:19:43.120 So here's what it appears to be the case now.
00:19:45.660 The first special session will come and go, and we will accomplish exactly zero of the things that the Texas voters want and demanded from their government, including property tax.
00:19:57.080 And we've got some of the highest property taxes in the nation.
00:20:00.220 The idea that Texas is a small government, low-tax state is totally absurd.
00:20:04.220 It's a myth because of the feckless, weak rhino Republican leadership in the Austin Uniparty.
00:20:09.180 But on the redistricting thing, this is one point for the Democrats, zero for the Republicans.
00:20:15.580 And it is unequivocally just, it's factually true at this point.
00:20:18.920 The Democrats have had a smashing success with the full assistance of the weak establishment rhinos in the Texas State House.
00:20:27.420 The Democrats will have thwarted every single Republican priority, including redistricting, for 100% of the first special session.
00:20:35.680 So on Friday, we're going to have to hit the hard reset button, and we're going to have to start everything all over again.
00:20:40.620 Yes, the Senate finally, with four days to go or three days to go, finally got around to passing redistricting.
00:20:45.420 Why they didn't do that in week one, who the hell knows?
00:20:48.020 But here's the reality for folks still scratching their heads at all this.
00:20:50.620 Once people, I tell people, the sooner you understand in the Texas government that the Republicans and the Democrats are not actually on separate sides of a war, the sooner this makes sense to you.
00:21:03.620 And the reality is there's only two factions in the Texas government.
00:21:07.580 There are big government liberals who call themselves Democrats, and there are big government liberals who call themselves Republicans.
00:21:14.400 And Texans deserve better.
00:21:19.860 Brian Harrison, have we taken any parking spots?
00:21:23.860 Have we, except for the fact they have to now come to the Speaker's office to pick up their paycheck, have we taken any seniority away?
00:21:31.000 Have we taken any offices away?
00:21:32.820 Have we vacated any seats?
00:21:34.720 Have we done anything of action that can be taken, sir?
00:21:38.160 No, by the way, the mainstream media and their breathless coverage of this,
00:21:41.560 Oh, look at the bold action coming out of Texas Republicans.
00:21:45.100 They're going to force them to pick up paper checks for their next paycheck.
00:21:48.460 What they're not telling, nobody's telling anybody, is that our rhino speaker made this threat to paper checks instead of direct deposit the day after the monthly payday.
00:21:58.240 So they're already going to have been back in for another special session before this stupid pick up your paper check nonsense would even take effect.
00:22:05.300 Yeah, he took away their newsletters.
00:22:07.420 And no, they still have their parking spots.
00:22:10.680 Like, we haven't even touched their parking spots.
00:22:12.380 And your audience probably remembers to two weeks ago when the governor was like,
00:22:17.020 If you guys don't, you rogue Democrats, if you don't throw up at three, show up at 3 p.m. on Monday, we're going to vacate your seats.
00:22:24.520 And we're going to kick you out of the legislature.
00:22:26.820 The era of soft Republicans and no consequences, an era of times gone by.
00:22:32.440 That was a week a half ago.
00:22:34.140 Okay, a week and a half ago.
00:22:35.120 Zero seats have been vacated.
00:22:36.520 And our feckless rhino speaker, he made a big deal, big photo op of him signing these arrest warrants.
00:22:43.600 Zero arrests.
00:22:46.000 And we're two and a half days from this thing being over.
00:22:48.720 So I tweeted out this morning, where the hell are the arrests that we were promised?
00:22:52.220 Where the hell are the Democrats having their seats vacated and booted out of the legislature because of their dereliction of their constitutional duty?
00:22:59.120 Yeah, the reality is those were lies.
00:23:02.840 They were misdirection.
00:23:04.260 It was red hearings.
00:23:05.320 It was smoke and mirrors.
00:23:06.560 It was hot air designed to deflect the eyes of the nation from the fact that the elected so-called Republican leadership in the state of Texas has actually been colluding with and has been in bed with the radical Marxist progressive Democrats for decades.
00:23:20.060 But they've been getting away with it for decades.
00:23:22.320 And, Steve, this is where I think we're seeing a turning point here.
00:23:24.720 And in the last few days, you've seen the rhetoric change.
00:23:27.480 You've covered it, Steve.
00:23:28.560 The rhetoric is changing.
00:23:29.900 For the first time, I think the elected weak establishment rhino uniparty in Austin is realizing their usual tricks of doing liberal things and then blaming those pesky Democrats.
00:23:41.640 Those tricks, they're not working as well as they used to.
00:23:44.400 The eyes of millions of Texans and the eyes of patriots across the country, thanks in large part to you and the posse, they know now for the first time they're being watched.
00:23:55.320 And victory is the only option that's acceptable in this circumstance.
00:24:01.540 You're seeing the polling in Cornyn, and Cornyn's trying to be a tough guy here.
00:24:05.260 Seeing the polling in Cornyn, he's basically stick a fork in him in the primary.
00:24:10.400 You're also seeing, I think, Abbott, if he was announced for governor, I think it's a whole new day.
00:24:14.540 I just think people realize Abbott's a Democrat, a moderate Democrat, actually.
00:24:19.020 And I don't see him.
00:24:21.640 Seriously, I don't think people take him seriously.
00:24:23.540 I know people in Washington don't take him seriously, think he's hapless.
00:24:26.740 Brian, where do people go for your Twitter account?
00:24:30.060 It's on fire.
00:24:30.920 And the posse's prepared.
00:24:32.100 We're going to start it all over again.
00:24:33.940 This time, maybe the pitchforks will be a little sharper.
00:24:36.400 The bayonets will be a little sharper, sir.
00:24:37.980 Yeah, round two comes Friday.
00:24:41.560 If you want to do just one thing to make the progressive rhinos and liberals angry today,
00:24:47.120 go to my ex-feed, at Brian E. Harrison, on Twitter, at Brian E. Harrison.
00:24:52.660 Follow me, like, and share, because this is, I'm telling you guys,
00:24:55.780 it is the most hated Twitter feed in the entire capital under the pink dome in the state of Texas.
00:25:01.900 So go like, follow, share, because here's the reality, guys.
00:25:04.660 Texas, patriotic Texans have been losing for decades to feckless establishment liberal so-called Republican leadership in Texas.
00:25:12.120 There's a new day.
00:25:14.160 Texans, their eyes are being opened.
00:25:15.980 The eyes of Americans are being opened.
00:25:18.060 And I think we're turning a page in this state where feckless rhinos are not going to be able to get away with their games
00:25:24.280 and selling the next generation down the river like they've been getting away with for far too long.
00:25:28.900 The stakes couldn't be higher.
00:25:30.440 The future of Texas is on the line.
00:25:31.840 That means the future of America is on the line.
00:25:33.420 That means the future of the planet is on the line.
00:25:36.020 Stay in the fight.
00:25:36.560 And I appreciate you, and I appreciate the posse and all you're doing.
00:25:40.380 As Texas goes, so goes the nation.
00:25:42.400 As the nation goes, so goes the world.
00:25:43.980 Brian Harrison, thank you for joining us this morning.
00:25:45.700 Appreciate you.
00:25:46.360 Amen.
00:25:46.660 God bless you all.
00:25:47.240 A fighter.
00:25:49.500 Steve Camerato, by the way, explosive news on your new analysis.
00:25:53.260 But, Steve, when Todd Benson, before Todd Benson went over and is one of Holman's deputies,
00:25:57.600 we used to have this discussion about Texas all the time, about the phony things that Abbott would put in and sound tough, but nothing would happen.
00:26:06.420 Today, this report you've got, I want to take – we're going to hold you through the break.
00:26:10.300 Walk through this explosive.
00:26:11.800 Was it 2.2 million foreign nationals have left the United States of America since January, since the start of President Trump's second term?
00:26:20.260 And 1.6 million illegal aliens.
00:26:23.360 How did you derive these numbers, sir?
00:26:26.000 Right.
00:26:26.340 So, as your listeners may know, we have a thing called – it's called the Household Survey.
00:26:30.580 It's technically known as the Current Population Survey.
00:26:32.820 It's where we get all the unemployment numbers, not the job growth numbers, the thing that caused the controversy with the revision.
00:26:40.020 It's a different survey.
00:26:41.520 And this survey asks people things like, where were you born in?
00:26:46.100 What country are you from?
00:26:47.320 And we can look at that, and it has been, for the last 30 years, one of the main sources of information on the foreign-born.
00:26:55.800 Now, your listeners might say, look, but do foreign or do illegal immigrants respond?
00:27:01.100 Well, let me tell them this.
00:27:02.660 If you look at the data from the time Joe Biden took office in January of 2021 and when he left in January of 2025,
00:27:09.860 you find an 8 million, 8.3 million growth in the foreign-born during that time period.
00:27:16.220 And we didn't let anywhere near that many legal immigrants in.
00:27:19.880 And some of the legal immigrants here went home, and some passed away.
00:27:23.680 About 300,000 die.
00:27:25.740 It's a very large population.
00:27:27.200 So it's just natural human mortality.
00:27:29.240 So in that context, most of that 8 million growth the survey picked up had to be mathematically illegal immigrants.
00:27:36.840 And now we're seeing the reverse, a dramatic decline.
00:27:39.460 As you said, the overall immigrant population, legal and illegal together, declined by 2.2 million just January of this year to July of this year.
00:27:49.880 And as best we can tell, about 1.6 million of that decline are illegal immigrants.
00:27:55.120 Now, some of them may have gone home.
00:27:56.720 There's a small number of deaths, natural mortality.
00:27:58.800 So maybe the thing to talk about next is, do I believe the numbers?
00:28:03.700 The numbers clearly show that.
00:28:05.460 They clearly have picked up illegal immigrants in the past.
00:28:09.040 That's just, there's no question.
00:28:10.560 So the big question is, is it accurate?
00:28:12.860 Yeah.
00:28:13.160 I think it is.
00:28:14.640 Hang on.
00:28:15.760 Hang on.
00:28:16.500 Hang on.
00:28:16.960 Hang on.
00:28:17.360 We're going to take a short commercial break.
00:28:18.860 We're going to leave them hanging in anticipation.
00:28:22.620 Camerata's with us from CIS.
00:28:24.560 John Solomon, next.
00:28:26.260 If you're a homeowner, you need to listen to this.
00:28:29.960 In today's AI and cyber world, scammers are stealing home titles with more ease than ever, and your equity is the target.
00:28:38.880 Here's how it works.
00:28:40.060 Criminals forge your signature on one document.
00:28:42.620 Use a fake notary stamp.
00:28:44.440 Pay small fee with your county, and boom, your home title has been transferred out of your name.
00:28:50.760 Then they take out loans using your equity or even sell your property.
00:28:55.020 You won't even know it's happened until you get a collection or foreclosure notice.
00:29:02.320 So let me ask you, when was the last time you personally checked your home title?
00:29:08.040 If you're like me, the answer is never.
00:29:11.200 And that's exactly what scammers are counting on.

00:29:48.300 War Room.
00:29:50.200 Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann.
00:29:55.080 Okay.
00:29:58.300 Camerata's going to hang with us, because we have to take a moment and drill down on this for a second.
00:30:03.520 It's very important and quite profound what he's come up with, and I think it shows you the impact President Trump's policies are having.
00:30:11.880 This is why we opened on the tariffs with Charlie Kirk on CNBC this morning, preaching the gospel of populist nationalism.
00:30:19.420 Kobayashi's newsletter, or his Twitter feed on tariffs, how much cash coming in, I'm putting up momentarily.
00:30:26.560 Camerata all fits into that.
00:30:28.060 John Lotz is also going to join us about the seizing of these institutions, particularly in the nation's capital, the deployment of the National Guard.
00:30:37.180 Also, President Trump, as you know, we're going to cut at 11 o'clock to go live.
00:30:41.320 President Trump is going to be at the Kennedy Center.
00:30:43.420 He's going to announce, I think, the recipients of the Kennedy Awards that will be handed out in December.
00:30:48.180 I believe he'll also make comments about the, I think, the 11 or 12 different parts of the Smithsonian Institute Museum's natural history, all of it, American history,
00:30:58.380 that they're going to be going through and vetting and making sure it's focused on American greatness, all of that, as we seize the high ground.
00:31:04.720 John, Solomon's with us.
00:31:06.800 Solomon, I know you're on to something, brother.
00:31:09.740 When you send me these things in, like, the middle of the night, and it's the new breaking news at Adjusted News,
00:31:13.940 I get up in the morning and I see other news services have got it, have literally retyped John Solomon's breaking news with their own, like, headlines.
00:31:23.560 So I know you're on to something.
00:31:25.500 Walk us through the latest development in this seditious conspiracy case that we're all pursuing, sir.
00:31:32.520 Yeah, so we talked yesterday about Adam Schiff, that there was an eyewitness on his own staff that went to the FBI, said he was leaking classified information.
00:31:39.660 The FBI also had suspicions that James Comey's handpicked PR consultant, who he paid for with tax dollars.
00:31:47.920 He brought this guy on to be a special government employee.
00:31:50.820 His name is Daniel Richmond.
00:31:52.120 He's a Columbia Law University professor.
00:31:54.520 And this guy admits, listen, I went around the FBI press office.
00:31:57.320 I was Comey's guy to the media.
00:31:58.940 He's working with the New York Times, one of the reporters that wins that Pulitzer that President Trump is now suing over.
00:32:03.900 And he's feeding him information.
00:32:06.120 And at some point, the FBI becomes concerned that maybe Richmond leaked classified information, because he attends a meeting with Comey where classified information is shared with him.
00:32:15.120 He then has a contact with the reporter, who then writes about the classified information.
00:32:19.360 And so they confront him.
00:32:20.540 And he gives, I think, maybe the greatest non-denial denial since Bill Clinton said it depends what the meaning of is is in the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
00:32:31.120 Remember when he tried to parse words to suggest maybe he hadn't had an affair or lied about an affair with his White House intern?
00:32:38.960 Richmond says, when asked, did you leak classified information?
00:32:42.600 I'm pretty sure I didn't confirm it to him.
00:32:45.180 And I'm sure with a discount, I'm sure with a discount that I didn't give him the classified information.
00:32:51.300 The discount means you've got to give me some credit.
00:32:53.180 Maybe I didn't do it.
00:32:54.220 Or maybe I did do it.
00:32:55.100 It's a remarkable denial.
00:32:56.580 All throughout this, what you're seeing now is that the top echelons of government, we're using classified information, we're using secret anonymous leaks to the regime news media, the legacy news media, to create a false narrative to the American people.
00:33:13.440 And James Comey is right there.
00:33:15.540 So is Adam Schiff.
00:33:18.100 And I think we're going to learn some others.
00:33:19.480 There are some redactions in the documents I got yesterday, and I'm hoping that Pam Bondi and her team will lift those redactions.
00:33:26.360 The Justice Department may have a couple of other Comey lieutenants who may have also admitted to leaking.
00:33:32.940 Right now, those are redacted out of these documents.
00:33:35.380 I'm pressing and I'm getting good reception.
00:33:36.880 I think they'll do the right thing here.
00:33:38.480 But if we can get those redactions lifted, we're going to know just how widespread Comey's leak machine was and whether any of it was classified.
00:33:45.540 I want to point out one thing about what you learned about this.
00:33:49.880 Daniel Richman is honest about why he was hired.
00:33:52.120 He wasn't hired to help the American public.
00:33:54.000 He was hired to help improve James Comey's image.
00:33:57.900 Just think about that.
00:33:58.760 And to set a narrative, i.e., the Russia collusion narrative, I think we have to go back and look at whether that special government employee contract was worth the American taxpayers' money.
00:34:11.680 Yeah, explain to the audience why a special government employee.
00:34:15.120 This is not some guy that's just coming in as a consultant to do one thing.
00:34:18.360 This is a guy that's not just doing a favor to somebody who knows, like, you know, if they want to be an intermediary with the post or cutout.
00:34:26.040 This guy, they actually make a special government employee.
00:34:28.480 At the same time, when you read through this, they're setting up meetings for people to brief the New York Times and brief it in detail after the classified information is going from this.
00:34:41.080 So this is a very organized effort to spoon feed the New York Times highly classified information.
00:34:49.280 Correct, sir?
00:34:50.720 Yeah.
00:34:51.180 And listen, what you see here is the New York Times wins a Pulitzer off of some of these stories that are leaked to them by the FBI.
00:34:56.620 And you now realize that the person who's involved in some of that admits the goal was to set a narrative.
00:35:03.160 What was the narrative?
00:35:03.860 James Comey's not the bad guy he's been made to look out to be.
00:35:06.640 And we want you to think Donald Trump is a Russian stooge and that there's real reason to do it.
00:35:10.820 So the leaks actually have a purpose.
00:35:13.020 Now, isn't it ironic that the way Richmond describes this, that they're setting a narrative, is exactly what the whistleblower on Adam Schiff said.
00:35:20.300 Adam Schiff said, I want to set a narrative that maybe puts Donald Trump on a path to being indicted.
00:35:25.480 Or for me, Adam Schiff to get on some Watergate-like committee.
00:35:29.400 You can see now that the legacy media was used by this very targeted leak campaign designed to give information out that, you know, is somewhat true but completely misleading.
00:35:41.760 By the time they're leaking Russia collusion, the FBI already knows that Christopher Steele's dossier is bunk.
00:35:48.440 He's been fired.
00:35:49.720 But these guys are setting the narrative for personal and political agendas.
00:35:54.260 And I think that is what's so disturbing about that.
00:35:56.580 The U.S. government is playing a dirty trick on the American people using newspapers like the New York Times.
00:36:05.680 Two things.
00:36:06.600 Because, number one, by the information they had, they should have been focused on the Chinese Communist Party, right?
00:36:14.340 They're getting a twofer here, are they not?
00:36:16.420 It's a misdirection play.
00:36:17.940 It's a misdirection play in the whole Russia hoax.
00:36:21.000 Because Russia hoax is just not about Trump and his team.
00:36:24.380 It's also about Russian intents.
00:36:26.660 And that's why this is so important coming out, so brilliant coming out on the run-up to this meeting where I hope we set the framework for the rapprochement, just not Ukraine, to undo all the damage that's been done by the deep state.
00:36:41.300 So talk to me a minute about that.
00:36:42.980 Because the CCP, they had warnings, and the CCP is where they should have been focused on in 2016.
00:36:48.300 And yet you don't hear any word about that.
00:36:50.440 They get a twofer.
00:36:51.200 Let's smear Trump and his people, at the same time smear the Russians, sir.
00:36:56.640 And let's keep in mind what happens in March of 2016.
00:37:00.500 In March of 2016, the FBI gets a dump of documents from Hunter Biden's business partners.
00:37:05.660 And they are now aware, in the spring of 2016, in an unrelated case involving an Indian tribe that was fleeced by some of Hunter Biden's business partners, that Hunter Biden has these really deeply concerning ties to China, right?
00:37:23.240 That there's a whistleblower from a bank that sends something to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
00:37:29.660 The FBI gets a whole bunch of grand jury documents.
00:37:31.740 So the FBI has every reason to worry about Democratic ties to the Chinese party, and also about whether Hillary Clinton's emails and foundation were corruption and security damaging to the United States.
00:37:47.860 And they're just going to hang a fake Russian shingle on Donald Trump's house to change the dialogue.
00:37:52.380 It's important to put all these investigations in a timeline.
00:37:55.740 You start to realize they had reason in 2016 to worry about the Democratic Party in China, and then they start working on this other narrative.
00:38:02.400 That is irrefutable now.
00:38:06.500 John, also, they don't want to – you see the mainstream media in the narrative war right now.
00:38:11.560 They don't want to touch these allegations and the whistleblowers and anything like that.
00:38:15.540 One of the things they keep going, well, you shouldn't spend any time on it because the statute of limitations has run out.
00:38:21.800 Can you just inform our audience why this information is relevant in an ongoing criminal investigation today and why it could lead to actual indictments and prosecutions?
00:38:34.600 Harmeet Dillon, right here on Real America's Voice on our show last week, laid out something that I think we ought to be thinking about.
00:38:40.060 She's one of the keenest minds that the Justice Department has, and she says you should be looking at this criminal case as a deprivation of civil rights.
00:38:47.960 Much like the 1960s era where police were accused of violating African-American civil rights during the Jim Crow era, the FBI Intelligence Committee is going to be looked under the same light.
00:39:00.780 Why?
00:39:01.340 They put Donald Trump.
00:39:02.980 They put Carter Page.
00:39:03.980 They put Mike Flynn.
00:39:04.820 And they put George Papadopoulos and so many other people before grand juries, caused them to be investigated, to spend millions of dollars when there was no predicated reason to investigate them.
00:39:16.500 That is a deprivation of civil liberties.
00:39:18.480 In the case of Carter Page in the FISA warrant, he was illegally surveilled based on false and misleading information.
00:39:25.780 So this is what you're beginning to look at is they're going to look at 16 to 24 as that ongoing conspiracy.
00:39:32.220 And the overarching crime might ironically be a crime that liberals used to be really concerned about, the deprivation of American civil liberties under the color of government authority.
00:39:41.420 I think that's where the grand jury is probably going based on my early reporting, some of it now on the record with people like Harmeet Dillon.
00:39:47.240 And you saw in the last week in the subpoenas that went out to Letitia James and her lawsuit against President Trump in New York, that ridiculous lawsuit that got that huge fine against them.
00:39:59.980 One of the things that the grand jury subpoena makes clear, they're looking at whether she violated President Trump's civil liberties, civil rights.
00:40:07.320 I think that's what we're looking at, a criminal conspiracy to deprive Americans of their civil liberties and freedoms under color of government authority.
00:40:14.400 So that's why this is all becoming very important.
00:40:17.240 John, where do people go to get all your content, sir?
00:40:22.500 Yep, justthenews.com and on all social media.
00:40:25.320 My handle is jsolomonreports.
00:40:26.920 We'll have another big stuff tonight, Steve.
00:40:28.940 If you thought Hillary Clinton got a pass on the email case, and a lot of people certainly think she did,
00:40:35.540 wait till you see what happened inside the FBI when they tried to investigate her foundation for corruption.
00:40:40.920 We're going to lay out all the obstruction that FBI agents faced.
00:40:44.480 It is really one of the most jaw-dropping things.
00:40:46.480 I think we'll have that in the next 48 hours, but really deeply concerning that there was a protection bracket, not just for Hunter Biden.
00:40:53.820 We've chronicled that with the IRS whistleblowers, but for Hillary Clinton and her foundation.
00:40:57.940 Thank you, brother.
00:41:01.860 Perfect timing in the run-up to the summit in Alaska.
00:41:04.780 Thank you, sir, John Solomon.
00:41:05.920 Yeah.
00:41:06.800 Good to be good.
00:41:07.400 Follows us at 6 o'clock right here on Real America's Voice.
00:41:11.960 Steve Camerata.
00:41:13.720 Let's go back.
00:41:14.520 I want to hit rewind just for a second.
00:41:16.160 This is so big.
00:41:17.220 2.2 million foreign nationals have left the country since between January and June.
00:41:23.700 And of that, 1.6 million illegal alien invaders.
00:41:29.440 Talk to us about why these numbers are so jaw-dropping.
00:41:34.240 And is this because of President Trump's enforcement?
00:41:37.600 I mean, what is causing this, sir?
00:41:40.680 Right.
00:41:41.340 So the thing we were talking about before, just to refresh your listeners' minds, is that it's based on data the government collects, a survey.
00:41:48.740 It's the same survey we get, like, unemployment rates or labor force participation rates or wage growth.
00:41:54.760 It is not the survey that measures job growth, where there was all the controversy about.
00:42:02.580 This survey is a different one.
00:42:04.500 And what it shows is this massive decline in the foreign-born.
00:42:08.080 And what it likely means is that a lot fewer people came in and more people left.
00:42:15.500 Now, remember, there's always a background rate of deaths.
00:42:18.200 Over a six-month period like this, we would expect, among the total foreign-born, about 150,000 deaths.
00:42:24.280 And based on previous patterns, 300,000 to 400,000 people would have gone home on their own.
00:42:29.880 There's lots of people always coming, but lots of people leaving at any one time.
00:42:33.540 Not tourists or anything like that.
00:42:34.680 I'm talking about people who've been here for a while.
00:42:36.720 Because people grow old.
00:42:37.800 They decide to go back to their home country.
00:42:39.740 Some get deported.
00:42:40.740 So there's always, of the total foreign-born, there's always people leaving.
00:42:44.300 But what this data shows now is an explosion of people leaving and probably fewer coming as well.
00:42:51.120 And that's extraordinary.
00:42:52.040 We've never seen the data show this before.
00:42:55.000 Now, there is always the possibility that people are here but no longer responding to the survey.
00:43:00.200 I discuss in the survey why I don't think that's the case.
00:43:03.100 We see it in the unweighted responses.
00:43:05.960 The survey is structured in a way that may let you test that question.
00:43:10.960 It doesn't look like that's what's happening.
00:43:12.860 But that could play a role here.
00:43:14.380 So I don't want to say I can definitively say the foreign-born has declined by over 2 million and the illegal population has declined by 1.6.
00:43:22.640 But we have a lot of other evidence.
00:43:24.440 Remittances, for example, to Mexico are way down.
00:43:27.320 So hang on one second.
00:43:29.940 We know it's down 60%.
00:43:30.860 Hang on one second.
00:43:31.800 I want to hold you through the break because I want to ask you about the remittances, other just anecdotal.
00:43:38.440 People tell you in Los Angeles it's anecdotal that you can feel it.
00:43:42.400 Steve Camerata.
00:43:43.640 John Lott on the other side.
00:43:45.900 Hey, we're human.
00:43:50.140 All too human.
00:43:52.120 I don't always eat healthy.

00:46:03.720 Also, Kobayashi, I'm going to get that up in a moment.
00:46:05.980 I want to read all that.

00:46:33.440 Just take your phone and text it.
00:46:34.680 Very, very, very simple.
00:46:36.760 Brian Glenn.
00:46:37.440 The camera is going to come back here in a second.
00:46:39.680 Brian Glenn is at the Kennedy Center.
00:46:42.000 Brian, set the stage for us in the 11 o'clock hour.
00:46:45.260 What is going to happen there, sir?
00:46:46.440 Yeah, good morning, Steve.
00:46:49.460 At around 11.15 here local time, President Trump will make another visit here at the John Kennedy Performing Arts Center.
00:46:57.040 Let me step aside because just in the last few minutes, they've rolled out some stuff here.
00:47:02.060 He is going to be announcing the nominees this year and pushed out on social media.
00:47:09.160 It says coming soon.
00:47:10.220 A country music icon, an Englishman, a New York City rock band, a dance queen, and a multi-billion dollar actor will walk into the Kennedy Center Opera House.
00:47:23.420 So I've been told just moments ago that an envelope was delivered to see who exactly that honoree will be, President Trump, obviously making another appearance here.
00:47:35.700 This is the second time that he's been here.
00:47:37.740 He was here for the opening of Les Mis, and we'll see him here in about 20-so minutes and to find out who is the honoree for this year.
00:47:48.020 Well, hang on.
00:47:48.880 The honorees, I think, are given in December.
00:47:50.820 This is the announcement day.
00:47:51.820 But, Brian, let's not forget, this is the third time.
00:47:54.940 He's the first president in the history of this republic to actually go to Kennedy Center and do a building inspection.
00:48:01.580 When we went to see Amadeus with the war room crew, the staff there was raving about the first time that any president had ever come and done a thorough building inspection like he would do at Trump Tower, one of his properties,
00:48:16.820 to go around and kind of say, this is what we've got to do.
00:48:19.220 And they were very enthusiastic about the capital expenditures that are going to be coming to kind of get the Kennedy Center up to speed, sir.
00:48:27.180 Yeah, very much what he did with the new Fed building.
00:48:30.640 I mean, he is all about the image.
00:48:32.680 He's about the looks.
00:48:33.480 He's about maximizing the budget.
00:48:35.400 He said he's bringing luxury back.
00:48:37.080 He's bringing class back.
00:48:38.440 And you're right.
00:48:39.580 I've talked to a couple of staff members last time, and they said they were thrilled that President Trump is bringing the arts back to this golden age.
00:48:47.960 And if anybody wants to see some future performances here, just go to thekennedycenter.org.
00:48:53.520 They've got a list of things.
00:48:54.500 They've got a parade coming up.
00:48:56.220 They've got the sound of music.
00:48:57.480 I know that you're a big fan of the arts, Steve.
00:49:00.180 So President Trump is certainly bringing back the arts here in the golden age of his presidency.
00:49:09.800 Brian, just hang with us.
00:49:11.180 You're going to be prominent in the second hour of the show.
00:49:13.180 I want to go back to Steve.
00:49:14.180 Steve, so I've lived for 20 years on and off in the beaches of Los Angeles, the South Bay beaches.
00:49:22.600 Got a lot of friends and colleagues there.
00:49:24.720 The anecdotal information that you're hearing from out the country, particularly places like L.A., supports what you're saying.
00:49:31.240 And talk about the remittances.
00:49:32.600 The remittances have always been quite controversial.
00:49:35.200 There's a free fall in the remittances, correct?
00:49:37.920 Right, especially from the place we can measure it best, Mexico.
00:49:40.760 We think about 40%, 50% of all illegal immigrants in the United States are from Mexico.
00:49:45.300 And we see this huge decline of over 10% just in the last six months of remittances.
00:49:50.160 That is money being sent back to Mexico from people in the United States.
00:49:54.720 So that is a pretty good indication that something's happening.
00:49:57.220 You're right, the anecdotal evidence, less shopping.
00:50:00.060 Employers say, oh, our workers are leaving.
00:50:02.420 There's another government survey called JOLTS, which examines people leaving their jobs.
00:50:09.100 And we are seeing a big increase, and we don't know exactly why, because the survey isn't going to tell us that,
00:50:14.740 in like hospitality and food service of turnover, people leaving their jobs.
00:50:20.800 So that is another indication of that.
00:50:23.320 And I should point out, again, that we're seeing it every month in this data.
00:50:27.360 So if we had only seen it in one month, you might say, ah, it's a fluke, something's going on.
00:50:31.140 But we see it month after month after month.
00:50:33.740 And that's a pretty strong indication that this is actually happening.
00:50:38.220 And so I think that the evidence is strong that we are seeing it.
00:50:43.220 And I think the evidence is clear that it's in response to greatly stepped up enforcement and the fact that so many fewer people are able to come illegally.
00:50:51.500 As I said, there was always people coming and going, always churn.
00:50:55.240 Now we have a dramatic reduction in new arrivals coupled with a lot more people headed home.
00:51:01.960 Do you think the policy that's working is like the ice raids on the employers?
00:51:08.640 You see, you know, the people saying, oh, they can't go to the Costco or everything like that.
00:51:11.520 Is that what, and particularly the coverage of these, is that you believe one of the reasons that the information is getting out there?
00:51:18.420 And folks are just saying, hey, I don't want to handle this anymore.
00:51:20.900 I just want to go home.
00:51:21.600 Right, right.
00:51:23.380 So I think it's a combination of things.
00:51:25.900 Remember, whatever coverage you see in the English language media, it's really magnified in the foreign language media.
00:51:32.620 And so it does make enforcement loom very large in the minds of people.
00:51:38.260 And it's almost certain if you want to be effective, going after employers, doing worksite enforcement is the way to go.
00:51:46.400 I hope the administration does more and more of that.
00:51:48.680 That's the best way to reduce illegal immigration, deter it in the future, and so forth.
00:51:56.340 So I think it's a combination, both of what they're doing, but also just the way in which the media magnifies it, makes it an even bigger deal than it actually may be.
00:52:09.540 And so people are like, well, look, I don't want to get caught up in this.
00:52:12.700 I was thinking about going home, but now I'm going to go home.
00:52:15.280 Or, you know, I was on the fence, but, you know, I'm going to head out.
00:52:19.380 So I do think there are a lot of people who we can encourage to, if you like the term, self-deport or head home.
00:52:30.680 Steve, what's your social media?
00:52:32.120 Where do people go to keep up with CIS?
00:52:34.020 This is a brilliant analysis.
00:52:35.040 We're pushing this out everywhere.
00:52:36.360 Where do folks go?
00:52:37.440 Yeah, yeah.
00:52:37.880 So we have a Center for Immigration Studies, a Twitter account.
00:52:40.960 Now, all of our information is at our website, CIS.org.
00:52:46.220 They can read through this whole report if they'd like.
00:52:49.120 And I have caveats about this data.
00:52:51.500 I don't know that it's perfect.
00:52:52.880 You can read about that, too.
00:52:54.400 And we say that right at the outset.
00:52:56.180 It is the best data we have.
00:52:57.660 It shows powerful evidence of an increase in outmigration.
00:53:00.860 But you can evaluate it for yourself and take a look.
00:53:03.420 And so we're available there.
00:53:04.960 Steve, thank you so much.
00:53:06.200 What if he had the brightest mind in the War Room, delivering critical financial research every month?
00:53:14.580 Steve Bannon here.
00:53:15.740 War Room listeners know Jim Rickards.
00:53:17.400 I love this guy.
00:53:18.860 He's our wise man, a former CIA, Pentagon, and White House advisor with an unmatched grasp of geopolitics and capital markets.
00:53:26.480 Jim predicted Trump's Electoral College victory exactly 312 to 226, down to the actual number itself.
00:53:35.140 Now he's issuing a dire warning about April 11th, a moment that could define Trump's presidency in your financial future.
00:53:42.920 His latest book, Money GPT, exposes how AI is setting the stage for financial chaos, bank runs at lightning speeds, algorithm-driven crashes, and even threats to national security.
00:53:54.940 Right now, War Room members get a free copy of Money GPT when they sign up for strategic intelligence.
00:54:01.700 This is Jim's flagship financial newsletter, strategic intelligence.
00:54:06.500 I read it.
00:54:07.560 You should read it.
00:54:08.620 Time is running out.
