We are a nation that has weaponized its long...
00:00:02.620
You're watching President Trump give a speech at the American Policy Institute.
00:00:07.060
We're going to cover it here live on War World.
00:00:11.520
We are a nation that no longer has a free and fair press.
00:00:15.540
Fake news is all you get, and they are the true enemy of the people.
00:00:20.300
We are a nation where free speech is no longer allowed,
00:00:30.360
where more people died of COVID in 2021 than died in 2020.
00:00:36.020
We are a nation that is allowing Iran to build a massive nuclear weapon,
00:00:40.900
which they are incredibly being allowed to do right now as we speak.
00:00:45.240
It would have never happened under President Trump.
00:00:50.040
They would have made a deal with us right after the election,
00:00:55.040
And China is being allowed to use the trillions and trillions of dollars
00:01:05.320
the likes of which possibly the world has never seen.
00:01:09.640
And this also would never have happened with us.
00:01:13.720
The level of speed with which they're going is a very dangerous thing.
00:01:18.540
And just two years ago, we had Iran, China, Russia, and North Korea in check.
00:01:28.760
and everyone knows it, especially those leaders.
00:01:32.240
And perhaps most importantly, we are a nation that is no longer respected or listened to around the world.
00:01:38.120
We are a nation that, in many ways, has become a joke.
00:01:42.520
We are a nation that is hostile to liberty and freedom and faith.
00:01:57.680
and whose educational system is ranked at the bottom of every list.
00:02:18.220
We were outlapping China at levels that they never thought possible.
00:02:24.960
China always thought they were going to be the world's biggest economy by
00:02:31.940
And they weren't even close because we were outdistancing something that they never thought
00:02:44.260
I firmly believe that the American people will reject a fate of decline,
00:02:48.440
demoralization, and ultimately a fate of defeat.
00:02:53.020
And I believe that we will come together and choose instead a future of renewal,
00:03:01.840
a nation that is more exceptional than it ever was before.
00:03:16.320
And in fact, we are just getting ready for an incredible comeback,
00:03:32.060
Through hard work, we will rebuild our prosperity.
00:03:50.540
we will make America stronger, safer, freer, greater,
00:06:34.000
No. Okay, fine. Fantastic. Am I going to get Chris Carter? Okay, just a moment. Okay, Stephen
00:06:41.640
K. Bannon here. We just had a speech. You know, it was interesting. I don't want to say it was
00:06:48.240
low energy because it was not a rally speech. It was a policy speech. So you're not going to get
00:06:52.540
President Trump going off along these classic riffs that he does on occasions at the rally
00:07:00.000
speeches. But he did. It was a very detailed policy speech. I'm still trying to find the
00:07:05.720
structure in it. We'll get into that. We've got Matthew Tiermon, who's live there. We're
00:07:10.740
going to get to Matthew in a moment. We've got Boris Epstein. We've got some analysis of
00:07:13.840
this speech. First time back in Washington, D.C. from the day that he left in January 20th
00:07:20.620
of 2021. Let's go to Chris Carter of Real America's Voice. Chris, give us your assessment. You saw
00:07:25.100
the whole thing in the room. Tell us your thoughts.
00:07:30.000
Wow. This was an amazing policy speech by Donald Trump. When he came back to Washington,
00:07:35.640
we knew he was going to say a lot. But this was a speech focused mostly on law and order. We heard
00:07:42.200
consistently about how these towns all across the nation run by Democratic leadership have let their
00:07:48.540
cities pretty much just fall into shambles. And then the border. He went extensively into what he'd
00:07:54.240
done with the border and some of these world leaders, primarily the nation of Mexico, getting to pay
00:07:59.440
their fair share, trying to help us control the border, putting those 28,000 troops on the
00:08:04.980
border. And he also went on to say the thing that the big news media hates the most. The election was
00:08:10.980
stolen. It wasn't right. What happened to this country and this country should be ashamed. In fact,
00:08:15.420
he called it a disgrace. So he covered a lot of ground quickly here. He spoke for about an hour and a
00:08:20.960
half. And this was a standing room crowd only of ultra mega supporters.
00:08:27.100
Well, when you say ultra mega supporters, you know, mediaites breaking a story right now that on CNN the
00:08:31.880
other day, the PR, the guy in charge of communications, Mark Lotter, said right on CNN that President Trump
00:08:37.640
lost the election. I think there's half of the audience there today. Half of the people at the
00:08:44.020
American, I hate to be brutally frank about it, but I don't think, I don't think very many of them are members of the
00:08:48.760
three November. So Chris, I beg to differ. I'm not sure there's a whole lot of people that have
00:08:55.120
dedicated themselves to getting, to making sure we can decertify the election. I think that half of
00:09:00.140
the people on the names, half of the names, at least half the names at the American First Policy
00:09:05.100
Institute believe Trump lost the election. Mark Lotter is head of communications. I'm going to put
00:09:09.960
this up in a second. In fact, I'll get it to Denver that we can play it. Mediaites reporting. He gave
00:09:14.280
an interview with Jim Acosta. And Acosta says, did Joe Biden win the election? And Mark Lotter says,
00:09:19.500
yes, he won the election. So, and that is not the belief of the war room. I'm going to get this to
00:09:25.320
our producer, Cameron, and he will get it to Denver. I want to play this a little later. So,
00:09:29.000
look, I beg to differ. There were some interesting things in there, but I thought it was more of a
00:09:32.740
laundry list. I didn't see thematically. I thought he was going to go into the Axios reporting this week
00:09:38.000
about the deconstruction of the administrative state is the most, I think, detailed theory of
00:09:43.960
the case of government I've seen. And he made one passing reference to it. In fact, people were
00:09:48.520
tweeting me. He says he wants the ability to fire bureaucrats. Well, actually, the policy is much,
00:09:53.120
much deeper than that. I'll be honest with you. I was, for something I was looking forward to,
00:09:57.600
thought it was going to be fantastic first time back. I didn't get it. You said inside the room,
00:10:01.620
how's it received? Because we heard just a smattering of, a lot of applause early,
00:10:05.920
but just a smattering later on. What was the perception in the room?
00:10:12.060
The energy level was very high, but just like you indicated, he started out pretty strong,
00:10:16.620
and then he got into a really heavy policy discussion about what's gone wrong. You know,
00:10:21.940
the worst start to the stock market in over 100 years, gas, all-time high since they started
00:10:27.460
keeping records, all these basic common sense things. And you're right, the tone did subside a
00:10:32.880
little bit. People have been waiting. And frankly, there were a few supporters that showed up,
00:10:36.980
I think, outside, but they weren't making much of a ruckus at all. People were listening very
00:10:41.800
intently to what the former president had to say, looking for a little bit of a layout as we go down
00:10:47.500
the road here and seeing what he wants to do and what kind of platform he would run on if he
00:10:52.020
announced. But it was a little bit more subdued than maybe what we've seen on the campaign trail in
00:10:57.080
the past. But I think the president's pacing himself for basically what's going to be the
00:11:02.240
longest re-election campaign in American political history.
00:11:06.520
Chris, I want to ask you, you were in the room. He did make something I thought was quite
00:11:10.740
fascinating. He went after the January 6th committee to say, look, here's what they're
00:11:16.060
trying to do. They're trying to make it that I can't go back and have my job again. I mean,
00:11:21.400
he was making the case, hey, I'm here to work for the American people. He talked about crime.
00:11:25.020
He talked about things he's going to do in the city. He had some concepts about real estate,
00:11:28.860
other things to create value. But then he talked about January 6th. Did you pick that up too,
00:11:33.620
that he was actually laying out the case to the American people that, hey, they're trying to stop
00:11:38.800
me from even having the potential to take on the Democrats? Did you take it that way or am I
00:11:44.060
misreading that? I think he's alluding to that fact a little bit, but you don't really need to state
00:11:50.700
the obvious to this room because anybody in tune politically knows that so many of our
00:11:54.960
people, including yourself, have been caught up in this charade, this political circus.
00:11:59.480
When is it going to stop? When are these people that are elected to office going to get down and
00:12:03.680
do the business to the American people? And you're right. They are absolutely terrified of Donald
00:12:09.160
Trump. Chris, you've been following this for a long time and following the campaign of following
00:12:14.400
Trump. You're probably one of the guys that have more perception of this than just about anybody.
00:12:17.480
What would your sense be that you feel that you see Trump announcing in the next, let's say, month,
00:12:23.860
the month of August about the presidency? Or do you think that he'll wait until after the midterms?
00:12:29.200
What's your what's your bang today after you've seen this first time return to Washington and see
00:12:34.620
The vibe that I get, Steve, is basically they're pulling the reins back on a stallion that wants to
00:12:43.360
announce he wants to run the race. But they also know that the political temperature in Washington
00:12:48.400
and across the nation is so volatile. They're going after people's families. They're going after people
00:12:54.460
personally. You know this. He has a lot of baggage to carry around. But when you look at the base and
00:13:00.320
you look at Republican politics and conservatism in general, there's Donald Trump or there's
00:13:04.840
nothing. Chris, how do people get you on social media? How do they follow you in Real America's
00:13:10.660
Voice? You can follow me on Carter Rocks dot com or any of the various handles. Follow me on all
00:13:18.300
my platforms. I manage about 10 of those there. It's at Carter Rocks dot com. Chris Carter,
00:13:24.160
Real America's Voice, the intrepid, indefatigable Chris Carter, always in always in the thick of it
00:13:30.120
here in Washington, D.C. Thank you, Chris. Really appreciate it. Let's go to Matthew. We have our
00:13:34.120
own Matthew Terman. He's not on the Ukrainian border. He's actually right outside the ballroom.
00:13:39.000
Matthew, we got about a minute. Put us in the room and then we're going to take a short commercial
00:13:42.440
break and come back to you, sir. You know what kept running through my head as I listened to this?
00:13:48.120
This reminded me of Enoch Powell's Rivers of Blood speech. 90 percent of the content was crime. You
00:13:54.100
don't have a country if your cities and your public spaces are absolute chaos and anarchy. He cited
00:14:00.020
example of example in the Kate Steinle mold of violent crime in New York, Chicago, Baltimore,
00:14:06.980
San Francisco, L.A., etc., the NASCAR driver last week. And he really drilled down on this is what
00:14:13.540
the Dems are doing to our society, to our country, and they're ruining it from within. We need to be
00:14:18.740
tough on law and order. He did go around some of the fringes of other big C cultural war and
00:14:23.700
conservative issues. But this was it just reminded me of Reed Enoch Powell's Rivers of Blood. It's that.
00:14:29.300
Matthew, hang on one second. We'll take a short commercial break. I already know
00:14:36.260
Madeline Peltz's headline over at Media Matters. Matthew Tierman war room equates Trump's speech to
00:14:42.500
Enoch Powell, Rivers of Blood. We're going to be back in a moment. We got Matthew Tierman live at the
00:14:48.660
Marriott Marquis. Boris Epstein will also join me. All next in the war room.
00:14:55.620
You know what's never good? When your nation's supposed authority on economic policy
00:15:05.060
completely misses the flashing red lights of impending inflation. Now, Treasury Secretary
00:15:11.540
Janet Yellen has finally admitted, quote, there's been an unanticipated and large shocks to the
00:15:16.980
economy that have boosted energy and food prices and supply bottlenecks that affected our economy
00:15:22.420
badly that I didn't at the time fully understand. End quote. You know who understands the real threat
00:15:30.500
of inflation? People who invested in gold and silver with Birch Gold Group. They're protecting their

00:16:23.500
War Room Pandemic with Stephen K. Bannon. The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon
00:16:32.060
hide. War Room Pandemic. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. Okay, freshly back from the Polish-Ukrainian
00:16:43.260
border and now at the Marriott Marquis in Washington, D.C., Matthew Tiermon was there live. Matthew,
00:16:49.260
you made an analogy that I know Madeline Peltz's, her hair's on fire right now. You compared this,
00:16:54.700
part of it, to the Enoch Powell River of Blood speech. And people should know that was a speech
00:16:59.180
he was talking about the crime and disorder. And let's say this, Enoch was not a friend of
00:17:05.900
immigration. What did you mean about the part of Trump's speech to talk about law and order chaos
00:17:11.260
in the major Democratic-run cities in this country, comparing it to Enoch Powell, sir?
00:17:16.140
So there are certainly lateral corollaries with the immigration facet of law and order
00:17:22.940
breaking down. Enoch Powell was writing about a Britain that was starting to be remade demographically
00:17:28.300
by immigration from its former Commonwealth colonies that had started to immigrate en masse
00:17:33.900
to the cities of England. And he said there would be rivers of blood if this is not under control.
00:17:39.340
And Trump made very, very similar corollaries to the law and order breakdown,
00:17:43.420
with immigration being a component of it. He talked about Mexico and the dumping ground of
00:17:48.220
the criminality from Central and South America that Mexico allowed to pass through their borders.
00:17:53.500
But it's more than that. It's the cultural degradation of our inner cities with not just,
00:17:57.980
you know, third world migrants, but with people who have been failed by parentless homes,
00:18:03.820
by a broken education system and crippling poverty. And what is the tie that binds in all of these
00:18:09.340
facets? Democrat governance, the Democrat Union teachers complex, education complex,
00:18:15.580
the welfare system. He cited, you know, an old idea, workfare. You know, you have to,
00:18:20.620
if you're able-bodied and you want welfare and public benefits that are better than our veterans
00:18:24.620
benefits, then you have to, you know, demonstrate that you're trying to work or work in some capacity.
00:18:28.460
Uh, these are somewhat common sense things. And now people across this country, I live in Chicago.
00:18:33.180
I moved from New York. Uh, I live in Chicago part-time, part-time in Miami, but Chicago is,
00:18:37.660
you know, I watch, uh, cops, uh, getting chases with, uh, carjackers every single night on Lake
00:18:43.100
Shore Drive, gunshots every single night. It's the worst it ever was. 90% of his speech in an hour and
00:18:48.620
40 minutes was citing examples of law and order breaking down and Democrat governance allowing it,
00:18:54.220
if not perpetuating it. Cites the Zeldin, you know, assassination attempt and cast with bail.
00:18:59.340
Cites Philadelphia. He didn't mention Krasner by name or Bragg by name in New York or Tessa
00:19:03.340
Budin, but he talked about, you know, the Democrat city's governance is a cancer that is making people
00:19:08.860
from all sides of the political spectrum feel unsafe. And I actually think it's very, very smart.
00:19:12.860
His first speech back in DC, he's hitting upon an issue that affects everyone. Everybody right,
00:19:19.580
left or center is scared now to go on the New York City subway or be out in Chicago at night.
00:19:23.900
I live in Chicago. They board off the Hermes stores on Oak Street because it's so rampant
00:19:28.780
and the cops have their hands tied behind their back. We talked about defenestrating that policy,
00:19:33.180
letting cops be cops, putting more federal money into a national police complex task force with DHS
00:19:39.820
and DOJ to break up the gangs. This is like Enoch Powell. It was very focused on our society will
00:19:44.940
degrade and break down if we do not get a handle on this tailwind of anarchy and violence and
00:19:50.620
lawlessness. And Trump astutely correctly put it to the blame where it lies on Democrat Party
00:19:56.140
politics and governance. And it worked very, very well in the room. He touched upon some other
00:20:00.220
big C conservative culture war issues. He did say, you know, no, uh, no men in women's sports
00:20:05.820
that got a standing ovation. He said he ad-libbed that when it wasn't on the, uh,
00:20:09.260
the prompter because some of his people said it was too controversial. That actually got the biggest
00:20:13.020
applause line because there's a little bit of a pivot from the, uh, law and order facet of,
00:20:17.180
of this, uh, big dress. Uh, but this was really Mary Enoch Powell sounding a warning.
00:20:24.780
Matthew, let me ask you. You mentioned he went on about the 100,000 homeless throughout the country,
00:20:28.940
democratic policies. He is a real estate developer talking about what you could do in these cities.
00:20:33.580
Walk me through that he had a focus on homelessness and how homelessness was a policy of Democrats
00:20:38.540
that was exacerbating the, the, the, the level of anarchy in the cities. Yeah.
00:20:44.620
So Trump, Trump, like myself as a New Yorker, and he was there, he made his sort of fortune.
00:20:48.300
He got big in the 1980s. And that's when I grew up in New York city, in Brooklyn, Manhattan.
00:21:00.940
You hear about the famous policy said, if you don't fight the homelessness and you get violence
00:21:07.100
everywhere, drug addicts, violence, uh, massive poverty. And so he was, after seeing New York's
00:21:12.380
resurgence under Giuliani with broken windows, he actually had a somewhat radical idea, which
00:21:17.020
probably the ACLU would be up in arms about. We need to make encampments, which I had images of,
00:21:21.500
uh, you know, the Hoover bills during the depression. You need to set up land on the
00:21:25.180
periphery of the urban areas and round up the homeless that's that are all over the inner cities
00:21:30.140
in Chicago and San Francisco and Philadelphia and New York that are harassing the good citizens of
00:21:35.260
these formerly fair birds and have made them look like Gotham city. And you need to bring them
00:21:39.900
to encampments, set up the tents and bring in medical professionals, psychologists, rehab and
00:21:44.380
addiction specialists, and try and, uh, consolidate these people and then get them on their feet from
00:21:48.620
there. You can't do it slapdash by just throwing money at shelters through democratic political urban
00:21:54.060
systems because look at, uh, de Blasio's wife and how much crap, uh, hundreds of millions of dollars
00:21:58.780
went to consultants. Nothing went to solving the homeless problem. And he knows that he's a New Yorker.
00:22:02.780
Hang on for one second, uh, Matthew. I want to bring in Boris Epstein, get Boris take,
00:22:07.980
but I want to come back and talk to you about national security and international affairs and
00:22:11.980
geopolitics. Boris, give us your assessment. You've watched the speech. You've been keeping
00:22:16.460
a close eye on president Trump and what's going on. Uh, the speech today, principally a domestic
00:22:21.500
policy speech, it sounds like, but what's your, what's your hot take on it?
00:22:24.380
Steve, undoubtedly a law and order speech of president Trump, a robust speech, a power speech,
00:22:30.620
the president laying out in his first time back in Washington, DC, since you know, that,
00:22:35.820
that tough day on, on Jan 20, 2021, and when he left being the legitimate 45th, 46th, and as we
00:22:43.180
hope and expect 47th president, uh, left DC for Florida, Jan 20. Now he's back today, laying out
00:22:48.620
everything that's wrong with our country and, and, and focusing on law and order because it is all for
00:22:54.460
Americans, for all people all across the world, it is all about security. It's financial security,
00:22:59.020
but more importantly, it's personal, physical security. And Americans are losing that security,
00:23:04.060
especially, uh, inside cities, might be in New York, Chicago, Atlanta, LA, so on and so forth.
00:23:11.660
And that's what the president laid out. That's what he focused on. That did also hit some,
00:23:15.660
hit some social issues. There's a robust speech. I mean, that look at the timing,
00:23:19.340
I think over an hour and a half, maybe way over that. Uh, and, and the president, again,
00:23:25.180
if you compare, right, him to, you know, Joe Biden, who right now is recovering, whatever
00:23:31.260
he's doing, he's got, one day he's got cancer, another day he's got COVID. Guy doesn't know
00:23:34.700
whether he's coming or going. Joe Biden can't give a three minute talk without being all over
00:23:38.460
the place. President Trump gives a powerhouse speech on policy. And, and this is, you know,
00:23:43.500
a speech on policy now that follows several recent policy speeches, including on, on the importance of
00:23:49.180
the second amendment. Hang on for one second. Cause I want to go back to Matthew on a comment you just
00:23:54.380
made. Matthew, uh, Boris referred to president as the legitimate president. And you've talked about
00:23:59.180
the first day back since he left on January 20th of 2021. And president Trump went there. President
00:24:05.180
Trump talked about the election. I, I felt in watching, you'd see the room a little bit freeze
00:24:09.660
up. Give us your, how bold was that for Trump's first return in the middle of the January 6th
00:24:15.100
committee. Right. And he actually said, he made a comment. As I talked to Chris Carter,
00:24:19.580
real America's voice, he made a comment. This is all about trying to stop me from coming back
00:24:24.940
and doing my job again, Matthew Tierman, your assessment. So I think the room was very,
00:24:30.860
very with him on everything he said when he said, you know, I won in 2020 more than 2016,
00:24:36.860
you know, in the sort of midsection and the standing areas in front of the media, uh,
00:24:41.100
segment, uh, people were screaming, clapping, uh, you know, obviously the, uh, our, our state,
00:24:46.060
uh, leadership in the first few rows, they sit on their hands. Plus they, you know,
00:24:50.540
walk into another hit piece. They're trying to avoid because many of them are spineless.
00:24:54.780
But again, you had the members of Congress there who have balls. I mean, the ones like, uh, Mary
00:25:00.300
Miller in Illinois just survived a district merge. Uh, and there was a squish. They wanted to have,
00:25:05.820
take that seat and she gets to have those who are willing or not backing down from the fight
00:25:14.940
to support him overwhelmingly. I think the room, I'm saying AFPI has, you know, some.
00:25:23.420
Okay. We just lost Matthew. Let's try to reboot him. Cause I want to keep him there live. See,
00:25:26.700
we're going to boot him. Uh, uh, Boris, your thoughts. Uh, he, if president Trump was not shy,
00:25:31.580
now this is the first day back, but they're essentially running, hang on. They're running
00:25:35.980
a show trial. They're running a show trial to basically get to that part of the constitution
00:25:39.980
where you're an insurrectionist that you can't run again. He brought it up. He said,
00:25:43.660
the whole purpose of this thing is to, I think it quote was not allow me to come back and do my job
00:25:48.300
or words to that effect. How bold a move was that by Donald J. Trump, sir?
00:25:54.620
It was a bold move. It's exactly what we expect from president Donald J. Trump.
00:25:58.700
That's exactly who he is. He calls it out. Like he sees it. You see it all the time on his own
00:26:03.020
truth. Social. He is not mincing words. He's calling it exactly what it is, which it's a kangaroo court.
00:26:08.220
It's a witch hunt. I mean, Steven, even in letters that have to do with, with some people,
00:26:12.220
we know pretty well, if you know what I'm saying, president's been very, very upfront
00:26:17.100
calling the people thugs and hacks, hacks and thugs, right. That who are perpetrating this charade
00:26:23.180
against them. So yeah, he's in your face. And by the way, I will tell you, I'm, I am, uh, you know,
00:26:27.820
a very much strongly jealous of president Trump only having to be in DC now for the first time
00:26:33.900
since January, 20, 20, 21. Now, you know, the swamp is a place that's definitely nice to,
00:26:39.740
nice to escape. And, and, and, and I hope that unless absolutely necessary, he doesn't come back
00:26:44.940
until at the earliest Jan 20, 2025, when he's the morning of the morning of the morning of the,
00:26:52.700
Yeah. There's no, I don't think there's any need to come in and out, you know, the whole thing.
00:26:56.060
No, it's no, it's no, no, hang on. It's perfect irony because he left and flew to Mar-a-Lago on
00:27:01.100
the, around, uh, around 1130 in the morning. He had to leave Mar-a-Lago that morning and get there
00:27:05.980
about, you know, 1130 and then, uh, and then go to whoever, whoever's at 1600 Pennsylvania,
00:27:11.500
whoever, whatever regime, uh, is at a 1600 Pennsylvania having to pick them up and we'll meet you at the
00:27:17.420
Capitol, right? Yeah. We'll skip, we'll, we'll skip the tea this time. Okay. We'll skip the tea.
00:27:22.380
Skip the coffee. No coffee. Yeah. There's no, there's no need for the coffee, the whole thing.
00:27:27.340
I will tell you something that's very interesting. You know, if you look at the media today and the
00:27:30.780
blue check mark, Twitter and all that, how obsessed they are and how absolutely deranged
00:27:37.100
they are and how dominate, dominant in their minds, president Donald J. Trump is. I mean,
00:27:43.500
this is literally like Caesar coming back to Rome, right? Love, love them. Don't love whatever
00:27:49.020
it is, but it's all the news. That's all that's all they think about. Joe Biden's literally like
00:27:53.340
a couple, like a, like a couple of blocks away, you know, and it's crickets. They got a picture
00:27:59.980
of him with his dog or whatever it is while president Trump is holding forth on what actually matters to
00:28:05.100
our country. Let's, let's take, let's take a short break. It was like a president of the United States,
00:28:10.780
right? President Trump returns to Washington, D.C. Short break. We're trying to get Tierman back
00:28:16.460
up at the location. Boris and I are going to talk about this and also the Cook Report in the House
00:28:20.540
races. All next. Friends, when America's farmers themselves start warning us about impending

War Room Pandemic. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:29:54.180
Okay, MyPillow.com, promo code War Room. Walmart missed their numbers today. Far be it for me to
00:30:02.700
say it's because they didn't have, they threw out Mike Lindell's MyPillow, but for 1988, go to
00:30:08.020
MyPillow.com, promo code War Room. We got it. Walmart doesn't. They want it, but they're not getting it
00:30:13.380
back. Okay, we also got the special sheets, 39 bucks. Buy one, get one, freeze all across the board
00:30:19.140
on towels, on pillows, everything. Boom. Go there right now. MyPillow.com, promo code War Room.
00:30:24.580
The armor-piercing shell. Remember, Tina Peters and the team in 24 hours raised the money. They're
00:30:29.100
off to the races. We're going to have a report every day on how they're leading this crusade to get rid
00:30:34.140
of the machines in Colorado. Okay, I want to go back to Matthew Tiermon. He's actually at the location
00:30:39.260
where the speech was given. Matthew, Boris just brought up the blue check. Twitter was in full meltdown
00:30:45.360
because Donald Trump actually returned to the Capitol like Caesar, and you could tell he had
00:30:51.180
a command presence. One of the things I found odd, Matthew, and one of the reasons I was so excited
00:30:55.160
about having you there, you're one of the best experts, I think, geopolitically on international
00:31:00.200
events and how they tie back to domestic politics and to the American people. Besides talking about
00:31:05.440
China and some trade, I mean, am I wrong? Because it was an hour and 30 minutes, and I tried to focus on
00:31:11.720
the entire thing. Did he really get into international affairs? Did he really get into Ukraine? Was there
00:31:16.700
any discussion of that really in any depth at all? No, the only sort of foreign policy facet was
00:31:24.300
talking about immigration. That was the majority of it. He mentioned at the end, you could feel like
00:31:29.220
he was trying to catch up from a little bit of a laundry list of other things he wanted to touch upon.
00:31:33.480
He did say at the 90-minute mark, what about 100 minutes, 90-minute mark, you know, this has been
00:31:40.280
very much a security and, you know, personal safety focused speech, but I could talk about so many
00:31:45.600
issues. And then he rattled some off, and he talked about NAFTA and the USMCA and Chinese tariffs that
00:31:51.580
we need to absolutely defend. But there was no mention of Russia except for one word, which is,
00:31:57.280
you know, we should be selling our natural gas, our oil to Europe, not Russia, which he's 100%
00:32:03.260
correct on. And he had done. U.S. was a net raw energy exporter. And as somebody who's in Poland,
00:32:09.400
the Polish government was thrilled when they built a Baltic pipeline to be buying LNG from
00:32:13.420
Chenier and Chesapeake and other players in Texas and all over the U.S. So, no, it's very,
00:32:19.540
very domestic. And, you know, I think the symbolism of it is this country's falling apart right now.
00:32:24.720
You know, every weekend on Monday morning, we get headlines that, you know, 50, 60, 70 people were
00:32:29.560
shot in Chicago, and they're not doing anything about it. And so he gets to come back to the D.C. and say,
00:32:34.240
I leave the place alone for 17 months, and this is what the country looks like. And it's nowhere
00:32:39.140
more resonant and relevant to the normal American who sees the local news, not, you know, USA Today
00:32:48.060
or the National Network, but the local news that crime is rampant. And then he also touched upon
00:32:52.440
the other rampant, you know, dynamic that's hurting normal American people, and that's inflation.
00:32:58.460
He alluded to gas and prices a few times. But this is very, very, very domestic. And you think,
00:33:06.360
right, that blue Twitter checkmark is going nuts right now. You know, when he said we need to bring
00:33:10.920
back stop and frisk, I smirked because that was, you know, James P. Wilson and Rudy Giuliani. And it
00:33:15.900
worked to help New York become the safest big city in the country, if not the world. And so now, of
00:33:20.680
course, blue check Twitter is probably saying racist policies like this, but they're not racist.
00:33:24.840
They work. They work in the inner city. And so, you know, he comes in symbolically riding in on
00:33:29.620
his horse and says, this country's a mess, and here's how we're going to fix it for normal people.
00:33:33.320
I think it's going to, this speech will resonate with a lot of people who aren't even big pro-Trump
00:33:37.860
people because they see it every day in their neighborhoods, how bad it is. And you're right
00:33:41.920
about AFPI. You know, if memory serves, I think it was Brooke Rollins and Garrett Kushner who pushed
00:33:47.280
the first step back and, you know, reducing a lot of prison sentences and being soft on crime. So a little bit
00:33:53.940
moving on. Hang on one second. Boris, what was the logic? He could have talked about a lot
00:34:01.800
of things. And he's an expert on geopolitics. He knows the situation in the Ukraine better
00:34:06.360
than anybody. He understands what's happening in the South China Sea around Taiwan. Why do
00:34:11.160
you think, is it because Brooke Rollins was his domestic policy chair and AFP's got a little
00:34:15.720
more of a domestic policy center of gravity? Or did Trump make his strategic decision to say,
00:34:21.640
hey, this is how I think I can get people who, you know, a lot of groups who think orange man's bad
00:34:26.800
when I start talking about the crime, the anarchy and the chaos in the major cities of the United
00:34:31.540
States. Boris Epstein. No doubt about it. I think it's probably a combination, but more of it is the
00:34:39.060
latter, Steve. Again, what are the issues that matter to the American public right now, right? It's
00:34:43.840
inflation, which has run away, no doubt about it. President Trump's hitting it time and time and time
00:34:47.700
again. And it's personal security and safety, the skyrocketing crime. And now here President
00:34:53.180
Trump is in an inner city, let's be honest, in Washington, D.C., a town that is having a very,
00:35:00.440
very tough time with crime. You know, sadly, we know that, you know, personally, you know,
00:35:05.480
spending a lot of our time there, living there. And he's calling like he sees it. And by the way,
00:35:10.740
also, he's calling out to the folks in power who are wasting all this time on the J6 nonsense and
00:35:16.280
all this and the investigations. Hey, why are you not protecting our kids? Why are you not protecting
00:35:21.120
our schools? Why are you not protecting our streets? The message is clear as day that Democrats
00:35:25.700
don't have their priorities straight. They never really have, but now they're more crooked than
00:35:31.180
ever. They're more crooked than Crooked Hillary. Their priorities are so upside down. And really,
00:35:37.580
their priority, President Trump said this, their number one priority is this. It's take down
00:35:41.700
President Trump. That is all they care about. They don't care about our country. They don't
00:35:47.740
care about our people. They don't care about safety. They don't care about security. They are
00:35:51.640
just so Trump obsessed. And hey, he came into Washington, D.C. for the first time in, what,
00:35:57.420
17, 18 months and said the facts to their face, which is the country has gone down the tubes
00:36:05.920
since he left. And they're trying to do everything they can to prevent him from doing
00:36:13.820
Let's go back to Matthew Tiermont. Matthew, closing thoughts. You were there for the entire
00:36:18.260
time. You've also been at the policy conference. What are your thoughts about what was put forward
00:36:22.540
today? And how do you see this playing? And also, do you think, is your sense that President Trump is
00:36:29.720
closer to announcing or you think making this policy speech or go out and do some other speeches,
00:36:33.440
some other rallies, but await to after November 8th, sir?
00:36:37.720
I think closer. You know, today there's one line who said, you know, we may have to do it again
00:36:43.940
after talking about the 2020 steal and how he won more than in 16. He said, but we'll have to do it
00:36:48.380
again and we'll win again. And the room was very, very ebullient about that. He this is why he chose
00:36:55.480
this issue is because this is a Main Street USA issue in a moment when Main Street is hurting.
00:37:00.080
In 2016, he came in as an outsider and whacked down 16 career politicians from a governor of New
00:37:06.840
York and a governor of Virginia who came in last to many pontificating senators. And John Kasich was
00:37:13.440
both a legislator in D.C. and in Columbus as executive. And he was common sense. He was common
00:37:21.040
sense on the border. He was common sense on immigration. He was common sense on tax policy
00:37:25.920
and trade policy and bringing jobs back. And now the common sense issues are energy. We have the
00:37:31.320
most of it in the world drill and bring down the prices and that will help with inflation,
00:37:35.620
inflation in and of itself. The regulatory regime that he was able to beat back a little bit in
00:37:40.500
year one and year two. You know, that's common sense. Bring that back. End crime. You can't
00:37:44.840
defund the police. He's calling for, you know, national reciprocal concealed carry. That's a common
00:37:50.280
sense constitutional issue. He's calling for if the cities are burning, we'll send in the National
00:37:54.920
Guard. That's common sense. I don't think he's going to get too into the weeds in the next few
00:37:59.660
months on things like Russia or Ukraine that are super nuanced. I think he's going to focus on the
00:38:04.480
common sense issues that are hurting or affecting American people day to day as this country is going
00:38:10.120
to hell in a handbasket. You know, he came in and said, is it better now? You know, 187 gas when I left.
00:38:15.800
Now it's, you know, seven, eight bucks in L.A. So he's going to ride in and focus on these issues.
00:38:20.240
And I think by focusing on it, he's setting himself up to announce before the midterms.
00:38:24.980
I think he's getting ready. And, you know, I think the room is starting to feel that as well.
00:38:29.920
Matthew, to your mind, you're going on an assignment for us. Where are you heading out
00:38:32.540
to and how do people get to you on social media and follow you?
00:38:35.480
So I'm going, I was supposed to go to Munich tonight, but Lutonza, you know, the Germans can't,
00:38:39.620
they're supposed to do everything right, but they can't do anything right. They cancel my flight.
00:38:42.600
So I'm leaving tomorrow. So I'll be with you, I think, again tomorrow. But I'm going to Hungary
00:38:46.380
to speak in Estragon, which is the Desmond's conservative summer youth festival.
00:38:51.320
Then going to Slovenia, Italy, before coming back to the U.S.
00:38:54.880
And I'll be reporting for you from those places.
00:38:58.440
And we'll obviously be in contact to talk about all these salient issues.
00:39:05.300
And to your mind, you're also on Twitter, too, as I remember.
00:39:08.500
You come in a little hot every now and again on Twitter, as I remember.
00:39:11.660
Finally, from the Ohio primary, I think I remember,
00:39:17.880
Yeah, well, whenever I'm in a bad mood, I attack the same people I did in Ohio.
00:39:21.820
It makes me feel good. So, yeah, get her Twitter at Matthew Tiermon.
00:39:27.060
Matthew Tiermon, thank you very much. See you tomorrow.
00:39:33.600
Put in perspective how Blue Check, Maggie Haberman in the crowd,
00:39:37.180
the Blue Check Twitter didn't handle this well today, did they?
00:39:41.740
I want to disagree with my landsman, Matthew Tiermon, okay?
00:39:47.660
And I would proffer that the Germans don't always do everything right, okay?
00:39:53.560
And the Germans have gotten a lot of things really, really, really, really wrong.
00:39:59.540
When they get things wrong, when they get things wrong, they really get it wrong, correct?
00:40:06.740
When they get them wrong, they get them wrong with a lot of detail, okay?
00:40:11.060
But Matthew's a great guy, and Godspeed to him.
00:40:16.300
But in terms of this today, the Blue Check, here's the bottom line.
00:40:22.180
Here's all you need to know about where the country is and, you know, all this talk of,
00:40:25.800
oh, President Trump, you know, he may have a challenger.
00:40:30.720
You think would anybody else who has ever mentioned any of those polls where President Trump always
00:40:35.940
You think anybody else would get even an iota of the attention in the Washington, D.C. speech
00:40:42.080
There's Blue Check Twitter is putting out videos of President Trump's motorcade, okay?
00:40:47.780
Just the fact that he's in D.C. is making huge news.
00:40:51.660
It's literally like Caesar or Cincinnati's, you know, it's, you know, this is a huge moment.
00:41:00.460
Hey, I just thank Divine Providence my trial was last week because knowing how triggered they
00:41:05.440
are, the DOJ would have tried to sentence me before the trial was over if this was last
00:41:21.300
I'm in the face, you know, Napoleon after, you know, after being an elbow.
00:41:27.740
The whole thing, this is just, this is amazing.
00:41:32.860
Never seen anything like this because America has gone away from the Democrats and the left so
00:41:43.340
MAGA and President Trump are so ascendant and the blue check Twitter and the mainstream, they
00:41:49.660
And they do stories and they find some old emails, including a bunch, you know, that have
00:41:53.800
been, oh my God, you know, this is such major news.
00:41:57.840
The alternate electors may have been appointed.
00:42:07.200
The gas is approaching eight, eight, nine bucks in LA, as Matthew said, and all over
00:42:15.100
Seventy-five percent of American people are saying inflation is a terrible problem and
00:42:22.080
We're coming up on an annual first year anniversary of the disaster in Afghanistan.
00:42:27.500
And President Trump came in Washington today and told the Washington, D.C., you know,
00:42:33.340
establishment, not the folks in the room necessarily, including maybe though there were some
00:42:36.780
there, but beyond, here I am, rock me like a hurricane.
00:42:43.140
No, and he also went after their weak spot, which is their record.
00:42:53.260
And all these great, okay, need you to stick around.
00:42:58.000
Charles Cook actually did some shifting the other day.
00:43:03.340
We're going to talk about that because Cook said, hey, these guys are talking about
00:43:09.080
Well, he's actually saying, I think it's actually receding a bit.
00:43:15.060
We're going to get all into it in a moment when we return.
00:43:40.380
With the recent rulings from the Supreme Court, it's worth mentioning that these wins didn't
00:43:46.120
It took the support of companies like Patriot Mobile, who have passionately fought on behalf
00:43:54.240
Patriot Mobile is America's only Christian conservative mobile phone provider.
00:43:59.380
They have been on the front lines fighting for your values.
00:44:02.840
This is why Patriot Mobile is different from every other provider out there.
00:44:07.100
Inflation has made it really hard on many Americans.
00:44:09.740
Thankfully, Patriot Mobile has plans for almost any budget.
00:44:12.700
And they offer the same nationwide coverage as all the major carriers.

The new social media taking on big tech, protecting free speech, and canceling cancel culture.
00:45:26.540
The platform for independent thought has arrived.
00:45:39.320
It's time to say what you want, the way you want.
00:45:54.780
Boris, when he's working into his busy schedule.
00:45:59.820
Let me go back to Chris Carter, Real America's Voice, intrepid reporter.
00:46:03.040
Chris, there were a couple of disturbances today.
00:46:04.960
And I noticed from President Trump, I think you're still here in the background.
00:46:08.020
There's some people triggered shouting various chants and obscenities.
00:46:16.660
Right now, earlier in the afternoon, right before former President Trump spoke, we had
00:46:20.640
a group of about five or ten protesters enter the Marquis Marriott in downtown D.C.
00:46:27.500
As you can see from the sides, the signs they call themselves proud Antifa scum.
00:46:36.700
And this is pretty typical for what we see in Washington.
00:46:39.940
Not a very big protest, but a small amount of people can make a really big disruption,
00:46:47.640
One thing, Chris, as you've noticed, because you were outside the Supreme Court the entire
00:46:51.440
time, the rulings of the Supreme Court and these other things, as much as the left, as
00:46:55.480
much as MSNBC wants to talk about it, you don't really see the scale of these protests like
00:47:00.140
I'm not saying it's not going to happen, but you don't see the scale.
00:47:03.240
It's still the anger and still the intensity, but you don't see the scale that I think
00:47:12.460
Yeah, it seems like their movement has subsided a little bit.
00:47:15.700
I covered all these rallies extensively throughout Washington, and the MAGA rallies leading up
00:47:20.840
until early part of January were very big, very strong Antifa presence, very big pro-Trump
00:47:29.440
These are the most radical of the radicals left over.
00:47:34.520
Great camera work by the Real America's Voice team.
00:47:36.680
Chris Carter, one more time, how can people follow you on social media?
00:47:39.420
Because I know you're putting up stuff all the time.
00:47:44.240
Obviously, you want to check all the Real America's Voice social media platforms, Getter, and then
00:47:53.760
Chris Carter, Real America's Voice, Washington, D.C.
00:47:58.620
Boris, President Trump is, I call him a McLuhan-esque figure in that he knows communication, he knows
00:48:06.420
mass psychology, and he knows how mass communications works.
00:48:10.520
This was very, he really thought this through before he came back today, and he knew he was
00:48:14.780
going to trigger both the protesters like they're out there, but particularly the media and those
00:48:20.600
We already noticed the people on Capitol Hill are losing it.
00:48:23.340
Put your assessment of his strategy for today coming into this, and do you think it worked?
00:48:36.000
I think that President Trump came in there wanting to make it clear as day about how different
00:48:50.180
The point has been driven home that this country, and let's just be honest, it's not
00:48:55.880
And it's tough for me to say because I love this country.
00:48:59.700
It has fallen apart under the terrible, feckless watch of illegitimate Joe Biden, his terrible
00:49:08.900
I mean, you had Jake Sullivan the other day talking about, oh, I just found out what a supply
00:49:18.320
The Democrats are doing all they can to destroy our country.
00:49:21.720
And President Trump came into Washington, D.C. today, but came in and came out, okay?
00:49:26.400
That's the best thing to do with Washington, D.C. these days.
00:49:30.000
He went to Washington, D.C. and called it out like it is, that we need him back.
00:49:36.520
We need the broadest shoulders possible because we don't have serious problems in our country,
00:49:42.460
And we need the most serious person in American history to deal with him.
00:49:51.520
And the fact that it was as domestic focused and the fact that that surprised so many of
00:49:57.480
the establishment and the unit party, the intelligentsia and the haters was exactly what should have
00:50:04.880
It is vital for our country to get focused on keeping Americans secure, not just financially,
00:50:11.300
but also importantly and overwhelmingly in terms of their personal safety.
00:50:16.780
And President Trump hit that point out of the park.
00:50:18.600
Drudge right now has in the Mac Daddy, a big red headline, picture of Merrick Garland in front
00:50:25.340
of the, at the press, at the podium at the Justice Department, big red headline, Garland
00:50:33.080
And it's about an interview he gave with Lester Holt.
00:50:35.100
He says he's open to hold anybody criminally responsible that is responsible.
00:50:41.860
My thoughts are that election time is coming and, and that's what the Democrats are trying
00:50:50.260
They're trying to, you know, put up false flags and trying to tell the American people
00:50:54.660
to look over there where they should, where the American people know where they need to
00:50:57.800
And that's sky high inflation, disaster at the border, runaway gas prices, absolute
00:51:05.740
And those, but those kinds of distractions, those kinds of lookaways no longer work.
00:51:10.880
And that's why they're so focused on bringing MAGA in in 2022 and bringing President Trump
00:51:15.800
as if, if we hope and expect he runs for president back in 2024 to be inaugurated, the latest
00:51:24.800
We're going to come back tomorrow and we'll figure it out in the morning, the afternoon,
00:51:27.380
probably in the afternoon and go through shifting of, shifting of a few of these districts.
00:51:35.520
You think wrongfully shifting and you've got the receipts to show that is what you've told
00:51:41.560
I mean, President Trump, President, in 2018, you know, President Trump's approval rating
00:51:52.000
Joe Biden's approval rating is at historic lows, much lower than Obama in 2010, much lower than
00:51:58.180
So to talk about, oh, this is going to be, you know, a 20 to 30 seat.
00:52:04.620
And no matter the Cook Report could go and try to cook up, pun intended, any little schemes
00:52:34.340
We're going to talk about the energy crisis in the United States and how it's expanding
00:52:41.420
But most importantly, it's going to impact you.
00:52:43.360
Also, Rebecca LaCoffler is going to give you the inside of how Putin thinks.
00:52:51.400
And Mike Davis is going to go all over the laptop from hell.
00:52:55.740
Merrick Garland will be worried about the FBI and what they're suppressing about the laptop
00:52:59.820
Mike Davis is going to break down what Senator Grassley is talking about in this letter.
00:53:15.760

Yes, heart disease is the number one killer every year, year in and year out.
