00:00:00.000 Dan Patrick, Lieutenant Governor of Texas. So why aren't you asking the question, when is Michael Cohen going to be indicted? He stole $60,000. Do your job. That should be the headline. Number two, Alvin Bragg should be indicted. He brought someone as a witness in a case with someone he knew had committed a crime. He should be indicted. So headline, please. Where are you, Alvin Bragg? Who's going to indict him? Who's going to indict him?
00:00:30.000 I'm going to indict Michael Cohen. Look, we are here to defend our constitution, our freedoms, and we're here because we are friends of Donald Trump, the president of the United States. And when a friend is trouble, friends have his back. The way he has been treated, you would see in Russia, you would see in China, you would see in North Korea, you would see in every little tin pot dictatorship across the world. And that's what we have here in New York, in America.
00:00:59.980 If they can go after the former president of the United States of America, who has the ability and the financial resources to fight back, what happens to the average American? What happens to any of you?
00:01:10.760 If the courts in New York come after any of you because of something you said, because you said something the ruling class didn't like. And that's what all these other countries are about. They shut down the ruling class. They want to be and they want to be sure that anyone that speaks up against the ruling class disappears.
00:01:28.760 They want Donald Trump to disappear. They want to send him to jail. They want to take him off the main stage because they know here's their biggest danger to taking the ruling class down. No, you know what? Donald Trump is not the ruling class. Donald Trump is for every New Yorker. He's for every Texan, every every state. Donald Trump has put his whole life on the line, his whole life on the line for the American people.
00:01:53.760 When he came down that escalator, he probably had no idea that he was going to be called to be the man in the gap to stand up for Americans. And he's standing up for you, even if you don't know it. I don't know who's next.
00:02:03.760 I don't know who's next. Would a member of the ruling class be facing 730 years in prison? What a pathetic question. 730 years in prison and he's a member of the elite? That's pathetic. You're not a journalist.
00:02:15.760 So I want to say as a former attorney general is my previous job and now is U.S. Senator Eric Schmidt from Missouri. I can tell you these charges should have never been brought. There's no crime. The only crime that's been unveiled through this, you know, Soviet style show trial is Michael Cohen, who stole money, admitted it on the stand. This is the star witness. This is the witness upon which this entire case stands.
00:02:36.760 And as a legal matter, this case is a total joke. In a broader sense, you want to talk about threats to democracy. That's what this is across the street. The idea that the Democrats not only try to keep him off the ballot, Donald Trump, but now throw him in jail for the rest of his life because they know he's going to win in November.
00:02:54.760 And the only way they think they can get after it is this unprecedented lawfare. We have never, ladies and gentlemen, we've never seen anything like this in this country. So I know this can kind of be normalized as you've been covering it. This is outrageous. If this were happening in any country, any other country, our State Department, our State Department will be warning people not to go to that country because it's a banana republic. And more broadly speaking, let me just say this from a political perspective, from a political perspective, the American people see what's happening.
00:03:24.760 This has added jet fuel to his campaign. You want to know why he's rising in the polls? Because the American people understand the injustice that's happening and they don't want to see their country turn into a banana republic.
00:03:38.160 I'm Ronnie Jackson, Ronnie Jackson from Texas. And I just want to say real quick, make no mistake about this. We all know this. These corrupt prosecutors and this corrupt judge are nothing more than puppets of the Biden administration and the Biden DOJ right now. You know what? It's a shame. They will do anything. They will lie. They will cheat.
00:03:54.700 They will steal. They will do anything to keep him from becoming president again. They fear Donald Trump. They fear Donald Trump and they fear what's going to happen if he becomes president again. And I'll tell you, they should fear because he started draining the swamp. He's going to keep draining again.
00:04:07.900 And all of these people are representative of the swamp. The sad thing is today, Lady Justice in the city of New York no longer wears a blindfold. She's wearing the Michael Cohen t-shirt with President Trump behind bars. That's how disgusting this has got to be right now.
00:04:23.780 And it was mentioned before. This is not the kind of stuff that happens in the United States of America. This is Soviet era stuff right here. Everybody out here. I don't care what side of the aisle you're on. If you're a Republican or you're Democrat, I don't care what your political leanings are. You better look at what's happening right here in New York and it better scare the hell out of you because they'll come for you next.
00:04:41.060 That's right. Next up. Hi. I'm representative of Salazar. Probably I'm the only member of this group that can speak in both languages. So I'm going to do that in Spanish when we finish. And I have a few remarks that I think are going to be very interesting to all of you. I represent district number 27 in Florida, a bastion of the ultimate melting pot in the United States. And I just want to make very clear that I am here on of my own volition. I am not on the list of the favorites.
00:05:09.000 I am not looking for a job and I paid for my own way to make sure. And the only reason why I'm here is because thousands of my constituents back in Miami are terrified, terrified when the courts in this country are used as weapons to crush our political enemies. Regardless of what you think of Donald Trump, regardless of what you think of him, regardless of what you feel about him, regardless whether you're going to vote for him or not in November, Donald Trump is not the
00:05:39.000 one going through trial. We all are. And I'm not sure if you know that, but that's the truth. Trump may be the one on the stand today, but the same forces that are manipulating the court system against him today will be after you tomorrow if we do not stop this political cycle circus that we are facing right now.
00:06:03.000 The empirical evidence is overwhelming. And why do I say that? How come a person is being charged and we do not know the charges that are against him are clearly defined? That is all political. That happens in Cuba and Venezuela, not in the United States.
00:06:19.000 How come the federal prosecutors six years ago decided not to touch this case, but somehow the state prosecutors in New York decided that it was the right timing because it's all political where why there are no audio recordings. Don't you guys want to hear what's happening? How come there are no cameras in the courtroom? Why is that? Because it's all political. You know what? My parents are Cuban Americans. They are political refugees.
00:06:48.980 They came from Cuba 60 years ago. And political trials happen in banana republics, in banana republics, not in the United States of America. Thousands and thousands of my constituents, and that is why I am here, not because I'm one of the favorites, but thousands of my constituents come from those countries, the Cuba, the Venezuela, the Nicaragua, very close to us. And they recognize and see very well when there is a political inquisition going on.
00:07:18.980 They have lifted, they have suffered it, and they escaped it, including my parents. And yet now we're watching this again. Where? In the United States of America. There is something very wrong with this picture. And we have lifted, and that's why I am here talking to you.
00:07:36.980 The United States of America. The United States, the courts, the laws, the judges cannot be used as political weapons just to silence the other guy because you do not like him.
00:07:48.380 The ballot box. The ballot box is where you fight those political battles, not in a court of law. And in the meantime, you, I belong to you for 35 years.
00:07:59.700 You should be ashamed of how passively you're sitting passively by, while the credibility of one of the most revered American institutions, the judicial system is scrumbling in front of your eyes.
00:08:16.220 Where is your profession? Where is your impartiality? Your biased coverage will cost us for many generations.
00:08:29.140 Unfortunately, my constituents know this movie does not end well.
00:08:35.180 But the problem is that millions of people...
00:08:36.980 This movie does not end well. It's Congressman Salazar from Miami.
00:08:41.000 Darren Beattie, your thoughts? The defense rested. You have it put on full blast there.
00:08:46.580 And that was Lieutenant Governor Patrick of Texas, the great state of Texas, that channeled the war room.
00:08:52.360 Where is the indictment? Not just on Michael Cohen.
00:08:54.840 We need an indictment now on Alvin Bragg. Darren Beattie, your thoughts?
00:08:59.440 Yeah, well, the whole thing is interesting, and I'm not so sure there's much more to be said than the chorus of indignation that we just heard.
00:09:13.040 The trial itself, the whole basis of the trial is a joke.
00:09:17.840 It's an act of prosecutorial gymnastics, the likes of which we haven't seen before.
00:09:23.440 It's conducted by a clearly tendentious, incompetent, affirmative action prosecutor in the form of Bragg.
00:09:34.640 And the spectacle of how the trials played out is far worse than anyone could have ever imagined,
00:09:42.040 to the point that it almost makes one wonder, is Michael Cohen still, like, somehow surreptitiously pro-Trump?
00:09:50.980 Because, in effect, he's done Trump a tremendous service by, you know, putting, you know, yet another nail in the coffin of this sham embarrassment of the nation's legal system that is this trial.
00:10:04.580 So I think, despite the fact that this trial represents a very dangerous trend in our politics,
00:10:13.420 which is the addition of malicious lawfare as a substitute for the democratic process or as a subversion of it,
00:10:22.260 I think in this particular instance, it actually has backfired profoundly for the Dems,
00:10:28.940 which is very unfortunate for them because they were really placing an inordinate amount of hope in these extracurricular legal attacks on Trump.
00:10:42.140 And they're going to find that, you know, in 2020, they had COVID, they had the mail-ins.
00:10:48.760 I actually think that 2020 was a high-water mark for theft and for the types of shenanigans you saw that were carried through on the basis of sort of the COVID pretext.
00:11:00.780 Okay. Hang on. You say that, but I read, I go to this site called Revolver that I go to religiously every day to look for news and analysis.
00:11:12.680 And I got a thing called, on Patcom, coming after the, I think, Justice Department, the deep state, the administrative state coming after the Christians.
00:11:20.240 So I agree. I think it's, I think it may be the, the only reason this thing got beaten back on this lawfare was this audience and patriots firing up those people at the microphone.
00:11:29.820 Remember there was three weeks. It was crickets. Okay. People started saying, Hey, where in the hell's the backup here?
00:11:37.020 Where are we on turning this going on offense on this narrative? And you've seen a shift.
00:11:41.580 You say it's a high water mark. I want to believe that this audience wants to believe it, but tell me about, tell me, was it Pat con?
00:11:47.240 What was the way that they're coming after the Christians?
00:11:50.960 Well, a couple of things. When I say the high water mark, I mean it in the specific sense that I think 2020 was a high water mark for the type of election theft you saw that was carried through it on the pretext of COVID.
00:12:04.620 I don't think they have another COVID like thing that they can push.
00:12:07.980 The COVID for 2024 was supposed to be these coordinated lawfare efforts, which I think it's fair to say are really backfiring spectacularly.
00:12:18.740 So their new COVID has proven to be a major failure.
00:12:22.620 And I would also say 2020 was a high water mark for censorship because now a lot of the censorship industry has been exposed.
00:12:30.280 And Twitter, at the very least, is far less censorious than it was before.
00:12:36.940 So 2020 was actually the high water mark for a number of extremely nefarious tactics that the left employed in order to basically conduct an unfair election.
00:12:49.180 Now they wanted to say, OK, we don't we can't do another COVID.
00:12:53.900 There's no appetite for that, just like they couldn't do another Iraq war because there's no public appetite for boots on the ground in that way.
00:13:02.160 So they needed a different approach.
00:13:04.640 And the different approach really was this lawfare strategy.
00:13:08.380 And I think it's in a deeper sense, the fact that this type of lawfare is now, I think, an entrenched feature of our politics is a very negative thing.
00:13:18.720 But in the more sort of narrow sense of how it impacts 2024, I think it's only a positive for Trump just because they picked such spectacularly poor examples to go after.
00:13:33.280 I mean, this specific Bragg trial is such a scam that anyone with a remote bit of sort of objectivity looking at it can see.
00:13:44.100 And they extrapolate from this to the wide sort of variety and panoply of legal cases, both criminal and civil, that the left is throwing at Trump in order to subvert the election.
00:14:00.080 OK, I feel better.
00:14:01.320 Tell me about this.
00:14:02.040 Walk me through this article.
00:14:02.960 We've got a couple of minutes remaining.
00:14:04.400 I've got to—I'm always on the lookout for the best stuff on Revolver.
00:14:08.940 Indeed.
00:14:09.500 So, PetCon, what is this?
00:14:11.140 This is a program going back a long ways.
00:14:14.940 And I think, again, this is sort of broad-based, bird's-eye context.
00:14:19.480 We see one of the major themes of the Trump era is the weaponization of the bureaucracies in the security state politically against Trump supporters.
00:14:30.560 This is nothing new.
00:14:32.380 In fact, you know, there's this program called COINTELPRO that a lot of the leftists like to tout in saying that, oh, back in the Cold War, the government was going after the left.
00:14:44.280 And there is some truth to that.
00:14:45.520 But the emphasis on that as opposed to the targeting of right-wing groups, of Christian groups, of patriot groups, that story has not been evenly told.
00:15:01.900 And there's a specific program that I think is the kind of progenitor, the early phase of what we see now called PATCON.
00:15:11.220 And so we did a nice blog and profile on that.
00:15:15.480 There's a much longer documentary that people can watch that we link to.
00:15:19.640 But basically, PATCON was an example of the FBI setting up front militia groups, setting up false groups in an effort, a broad-based effort, to infiltrate and subvert the right-wing in a variety of ways, including Christian groups, patriot groups, and so forth.
00:15:38.500 And the amazing thing about PATCON, other than the fact that you literally had the government setting up militia groups and outlaw groups, kind of a similar kind of entrapment thing that we saw in the Whitmer case, but going much deeper, is the fact that they set up this elaborate scheme and they weren't even able to prevent Oklahoma City, which was their stated objective to prevent this.
00:16:05.000 So it just underscores that when you have this violation of liberty, when you have the government essentially becoming the bad guys because there aren't enough bad guys and they become the bad guys in order to entrap good guys for political reason, they're not even able to protect the country, which is the stated purpose of these things, when actually the purpose is political.
00:16:28.940 And I would like to add one other thing.
00:16:32.100 The PATCON goes back to the 90s.
00:16:34.400 That's when the government really started to make a push against the right-wing and right-wing groups.
00:16:41.920 And one of the key architects of this push against so-called domestic extremism, so-called, quote-unquote, domestic extremism, was none other than Merrick Garland.
00:16:51.860 But Merrick Garland was a major figure going back to the 90s under Clinton in setting up the very architecture whose more mature and crystallized form we see today in the complex persecution politically of Trump supporters and people on the right.
00:17:13.020 Darren, where do people—this is an amazing piece.
00:17:15.580 A link to the documentary, we're going to maybe a fuller piece out later.
00:17:18.500 Where do people go to go to Revolver and your social media?
00:17:21.860 Revolver.news, the PATCON piece, is toward the very top.
00:17:27.020 We have a lot of other things.
00:17:28.380 We have VP analysis, and we have some major January 6th stuff as well.
00:17:33.460 So the full range of what you would want and expect from Revolver News available now.
00:17:39.380 Go to the site, read it, and share it.
00:17:42.920 Thank you.
00:17:43.700 Short break, Bloomberg.
00:17:44.940 Can your savings, weather, and economic storm think about what you've put away for the future?
00:17:49.840 Inflation can render cash worthless.
00:17:54.120 Real estate can crash like in 2008.
00:17:56.920 Economies built on a mountain of debt can fall like a house of cards.
00:18:01.140 There are very few physical assets you can invest in that can stand the test of time.
00:18:07.000 Gold has withstood this as a valued form of money for millennia.
00:18:11.160 I actually think for 8,000 years of man's recorded history.
00:18:15.840 It's why people are flocking to it now, why Birch Gold is busier than ever.
00:18:20.100 Through a little-known tax loophole, Birch Gold lets you convert a retirement account into a tax-sheltered IRA in physical gold.
00:18:28.780 And the best part, it doesn't cost you a penny out of pocket.
00:18:31.900 Let me repeat that.
00:18:32.700 It doesn't cost you a penny out of pocket.
00:18:35.760 To learn more about this, to immerse yourself in information, text Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, to 989898, and claim your free info kit on gold.
00:18:45.280 Let me ask you this again.
00:18:48.440 Can your IRA or 401k weather an economic storm because a storm's coming?
00:18:53.680 If it can't, call the people I trust.
00:18:56.640 That's Birch Gold.
00:18:57.400 Text Bannon to 989898.
00:19:00.040 Secure Your Savings Today, Birch Gold Group.
00:19:04.220 Criminal cases is hard, right?
00:19:06.200 Bringing criminal cases against people involved in politics is hard, and it is a very high-pressure thing for good reason.
00:19:14.320 We rightfully want our criminal justice system and our political system to operate independently from one another almost all of the time, right?
00:19:23.020 You shouldn't have to worry about having the cops or the feds sicced on you by your political opponents because you are a person in political office or in a politically sensitive job.
00:19:33.060 You also shouldn't be able to get away with committing crimes because you have political stature or political power of some kind, right?
00:19:39.420 We don't want the criminal justice system and the political system to interact except when they absolutely have to.
00:19:47.380 You know, having people in high office committing crimes is very bad.
00:19:52.280 It's very difficult stuff in motion for us as a country.
00:19:55.180 Better to not elect criminals so we never have to deal with it.
00:19:58.080 But occasionally it happens.
00:19:59.540 Got to domerang of the lawfare as it burns down around them.
00:20:08.400 They should have focused, as we said before, on the underlying economics and not allow the neoliberal neocons that Rachel Maddow and the MSNBC team push.
00:20:17.760 Josh, we've got honored to have Joshua Green.
00:20:21.060 Josh Green here from Bloomberg.
00:20:23.220 You've kind of been the person in the mainstream media that has followed the populist movement on the right and on the left.
00:20:30.080 And that's kind of not just expertises at Bloomberg, but you're on CNN and you follow this.
00:20:34.860 You came up with a book a while ago on Rebels on AOC.
00:20:39.900 This is your sequel to your first book, right, which was The Populism on the Right.
00:20:46.300 You came up with a sequel to Populism on the Left.
00:20:48.600 Just where we are five months out, and we'll get into you.
00:20:53.180 You've got a brilliant piece in Bloomberg on the underlying economics of things.
00:20:58.940 Where is the populist movement having the most impact in this election cycle, and where do you think it's going to be most meaningful?
00:21:06.500 I think it's having an impact on both sides.
00:21:09.580 I think you can see that in the way both of the party primaries have shaken out.
00:21:14.700 Now, who's backing Trump and what Joe Biden is trying to do in terms of going after China?
00:21:20.320 You're saying because even though they tried to, in the Republican primary, DeSantis and others tried to, I would say, fake a populism.
00:21:27.700 Exactly.
00:21:28.240 Everybody, the old Reagan-esque, except for Nikki Haley, who Nikki Haley hung tough at the end.
00:21:33.680 I mean, she's the standard bearer for the neoliberal neocon, right?
00:21:38.140 Yeah, but I think, you know, the DeSantis brand of populism, almost like generated by AI or something like that.
00:21:44.540 I mean, people could tell this isn't real.
00:21:47.200 This isn't sort of Trump-style populism.
00:21:48.540 But as you know, and as we talked about at length, I mean, the point of my two books is that if you go back to the financial crisis, you had the rise of populism on the right embodied by the rise of people like you and, of course, Donald Trump.
00:22:03.740 But also you've had it on the left.
00:22:05.660 You've got that Bernie Sanders message, that Elizabeth Warren message.
00:22:08.900 But the point in our current political situation is that is filtered through to both parties, and what they share is just an anger at the establishment, now an anger at the White House, especially over levels of inflation.
00:22:20.560 This is what we're writing about in Bloomberg a lot this week.
00:22:23.040 And you can kind of see that backlash building.
00:22:25.960 A lot of voters that we talked to, a lot of undecided voters, are unhappy with both candidates, frankly, because they think that they're getting screwed and they're not happy with the state of the economy.
00:22:35.880 But one of the things we did at Bloomberg this week, because this is what we do, is to deep dive into the economic numbers.
00:22:42.520 This isn't a take or a partisan look one way or the other.
00:22:45.800 Just what do the numbers show us?
00:22:47.480 And kind of broke down why it is that people are so angry about the economy and who they blame for the state of things today.
00:22:55.540 Walk me through that.
00:22:56.620 So as Bloomberg looks at the math, what does it tell you?
00:23:01.400 You guys derived the story from what the math tells you.
00:23:04.040 Exactly.
00:23:04.300 This is pure math.
00:23:05.100 You don't come in with a set thing.
00:23:07.160 No, no.
00:23:07.440 These are literally like economic numbers.
00:23:09.460 Because people understand, for our audience, Bloomberg, where Bloomberg made his $60 billion, he was a trader over at Salomon Brothers.
00:23:17.240 And he said, I'm not getting enough real-time information at my desk to trade.
00:23:21.840 He was a bond trader, I think.
00:23:23.400 He set up these terminals.
00:23:24.820 In fact, the guy said, Salomon Brothers said there's no future in this.
00:23:27.240 He asked him for like, I think he wanted to do it inside of Salomon Brothers.
00:23:30.120 He said, get out of here.
00:23:30.820 You've got to trade bonds.
00:23:31.620 But the Bloomberg terminal is for traders, and it's everything hits that first, right?
00:23:38.280 You guys—
00:23:39.020 It is literally a repository, literally, of every financial number you can pull from governments all over the world, from banks, from what happens.
00:23:47.120 Every company.
00:23:48.100 Every company.
00:23:48.700 So it's actually a great resource to draw on for reporters.
00:23:52.100 So we do two things.
00:23:53.980 Bloomberg News does a monthly swing state poll of the seven battleground states.
00:23:59.140 So we started there, and we asked people, who do you have more confidence in the economy?
00:24:03.680 And the answer was clearly Trump.
00:24:05.300 51-32, Trump over Biden.
00:24:08.060 So what we—
00:24:08.680 Is that a stunning—when the guys at Bloomberg look at that, are you blown away by that number, given the amount of money that's been spent and all that?
00:24:14.340 I really am, because if you look at the stock market, if you look at the level of employment, objectively, things are pretty good for most people in America right now.
00:24:22.140 I would say for the 10 percent, right?
00:24:24.640 Hold your horses.
00:24:25.480 Okay, go ahead.
00:24:26.160 I would say that.
00:24:26.740 I'm not going to come to your punchline.
00:24:28.040 Objectively, a lot of numbers are pointing in the right direction for Biden.
00:24:31.840 But people obviously don't feel that way.
00:24:34.060 So what we did was take a deep dive into these numbers to figure out why that is.
00:24:38.960 And there are two big takeaways in this article.
00:24:41.780 And just for people who do have access to Bloomberg and want to look it up, the title of the article says it all.
00:24:48.580 Voters prefer Trump over Biden on the economy.
00:24:51.480 This data shows why.
00:24:52.880 To me, two numbers jump out that explain why people prefer Trump over Biden.
00:24:57.940 The first number is per capita disposable income, basically how much money people have after inflation, after taxes.
00:25:06.740 It was running at about four times higher during Trump's presidency than it is under Joe Biden's presidency.
00:25:14.460 Hold on, hold on.
00:25:15.600 That is a blowout number.
00:25:17.220 Walk me back to it.
00:25:18.080 They had four times more disposable income under Trump.
00:25:22.660 That's because inflation was lower, interest rates.
00:25:24.580 It's rising at a rate, the way we put it in the piece, it's rising at a rate only about a quarter under Biden of what it was under Trump.
00:25:32.720 And a lot of that, as you know, is because inflation is just running higher.
00:25:36.960 And that eats into people's purchasing power.
00:25:40.180 You go to McDonald's and your Happy Meals, $20 or whatever it is, that just makes it harder for a paycheck.
00:25:47.300 Even if your paycheck is bigger, it makes it harder to go farther no matter what you're spending on that.
00:25:51.880 But four times is like a blowout number.
00:25:55.460 I mean, it's not like 10 percent higher or something like that.
00:25:58.300 It's 400 times, 400 percent.
00:26:00.600 That's the rate of increase.
00:26:01.760 Yeah.
00:26:02.080 Yeah.
00:26:02.340 But the other one, and again, this helps to explain that number, is inflation.
00:26:06.520 And if you look at the cumulative inflation under Joe Biden, so we're measuring the four years under Donald Trump's presidency against where we are in Joe Biden's presidency and what it's projected to be by the end.
00:26:21.500 It's running three times faster under Joe Biden inflation, the rate of inflation, than under Donald Trump.
00:26:28.920 But Biden is on track to have the highest cumulative amount of inflation during his presidency of any president in 40 years.
00:26:40.880 And so to me.
00:26:41.680 Since Carter.
00:26:42.240 Since Carter, yeah.
00:26:43.060 So to me, that really just explains why people are angry about the economy, even though the stock market is hitting record highs, even though people's paychecks are growing.
00:26:51.860 These two numbers to me explain that populist backlash that we're seeing on the right and on the left.
00:26:59.080 And I think they explain why Joe Biden isn't doing better in the polls right now than he is.
00:27:04.520 And this explains the 51-32 about the handling of the economy.
00:27:08.200 Yeah.
00:27:08.560 Let me go.
00:27:09.180 Now, you go on CNBC.
00:27:10.820 You see CNBC.
00:27:12.060 You see it less on Bloomberg, because I think you guys are a little more serious.
00:27:17.180 Fox Business and CNBC, I think, are a little more promotional.
00:27:19.900 The Biden officials go up, or Stephanie Ruhle every night on MSNBC at 11 o'clock tells me, oh, the economy's in great shape because of the numbers you just gave.
00:27:29.620 But the reality is, does the Biden, and Biden's putting people up there saying it's great, and they're trying to sell that.
00:27:35.040 But they don't talk about Bidenomics.
00:27:37.020 Inside the White House, inside his economic team, do they look at these same numbers?
00:27:41.500 Do you think that they understand what their problem is?
00:27:43.640 Oh, I think they do.
00:27:44.240 But look, there are more numbers than just the two that I told you about.
00:27:47.460 Biden does have, you know, raw economic numbers that are positives for him that you do hear emphasized on MSNBC.
00:27:54.740 One of those is the stock market is at a record high.
00:27:58.020 The economy is growing very strongly.
00:28:00.860 And despite the –
00:28:01.620 When you say the growth for the first quarter was 1.6 percent, and it took a trillion dollars of federal spending to do this.
00:28:08.780 This is not –
00:28:09.840 But two years ago, you know, every economist, including, you know, mea culpa, Bloomberg, Bloomberg Economics, was predicting that the American economy would be in recession, and it's not.
00:28:20.520 So based on the expectations, the economy is performing better than people thought it would.
00:28:25.260 And the rate of unemployment is extraordinarily low.
00:28:29.180 So Democrats and Biden do have positives to focus on.
00:28:31.700 But when you look at that, that is driven – all driven by federal spending.
00:28:36.180 This is why we're – so my point is if you take out the federal spending –
00:28:38.840 So it's a double-edged sword.
00:28:39.780 It's a double-edged sword.
00:28:40.520 It's not true economic growth of animal spirits, right?
00:28:44.020 It's not the – it's not animal – you took $900 billion increased spending deficits to generate $300 or $400 billion to get to the 1.6 percent, right?
00:28:56.240 If you continue to do that, certainly you're going to grow under 2 percent, but you're adding exponentially on the debt, and you're going to get into the thing of refinancing it.
00:29:06.860 Well, and I think that's why, you know, you see the downside of that over the last two years in the economy overheating.
00:29:12.660 And you throw in things like supply chain constraints over COVID, and you throw in things like the –
00:29:17.860 Hang on.
00:29:18.300 We're going to hold you through this, but I want to go back to the question.
00:29:22.000 I know what they sell on TV, and I know what they're selling with the S&P and the stock market and all that, but do you think that they focus on – because these are signal, not noise, your two numbers that the Bloomberg guys came up with, right?
00:29:36.860 And it tracks back to – then the polling makes sense, right?
00:29:40.900 Do you think in the White House now – they've already jettisoned using Bidenomics, but do you think they're going to try – they're thinking through, given this late hour, how they try to address that?
00:29:52.000 Yeah, I mean, there's two ways, I think.
00:29:53.600 Number one is you pin it on a bad guy who's not Joe Biden.
00:29:59.120 And so a lot of talk that you hear from Democratic – liberal economists, the White House, is this knock on greedflation, that corporations –
00:30:07.500 Corporations, yes.
00:30:08.080 And this is based on a real number.
00:30:09.180 You know, corporate profits are running very high.
00:30:10.760 That's one reason the stock market's at record high.
00:30:12.920 They're saying, hey, look, it's the corporation's fault.
00:30:15.420 They're charging too much.
00:30:16.720 Blame them.
00:30:17.280 Don't blame Joe Biden.
00:30:18.480 You're seeing that as a true pivot now?
00:30:20.600 Yeah, yeah.
00:30:21.480 I mean, you can see that – that's been around for a couple of months.
00:30:25.120 I don't think it's really caught fire with undecided voters who have decided, okay, well, I guess they're right.
00:30:31.520 I'm going to vote for Joe Biden.
00:30:33.020 Or he wouldn't be losing six out of seven states in the Bloomberg battleground poll.
00:30:37.960 Hang on one second.
00:30:38.740 But that's the argument they're making.
00:30:39.640 We're going to take a short commercial break.
00:30:41.320 Six out of seven battleground states.
00:30:44.720 Birch Gold, it's a hedge.

00:31:01.560 Talk to Philip Patrick and the team.
00:31:03.460 They're called debt traps.
00:31:05.220 And that debt trap you're caught in isn't your fault.
00:31:07.720 You didn't cause inflation.
00:31:09.200 You didn't set gas prices or make credit card companies jack up interest rates.
00:31:12.580 The thing is that debt trap is and will destroy your life if you don't get out now.
00:31:19.240 The only company I recommend is Done With Debt because Done With Debt are brilliant about debt relief strategies.

00:32:05.480 Here's your host, Stephen K.
00:32:08.260 Okay, we got Andrew Giuliani live.
00:32:15.600 Josh Green's with us, the guy that understands the math and populism as it relates to politics and, of course, the economic numbers.
00:32:23.980 Let's go to Andrew Giuliani.
00:32:25.320 By the way, Dan Patrick, the lieutenant governor of Texas, came out in the mics and said what War Room's been saying.
00:32:35.360 When are we going to indict Michael Cohen?
00:32:37.280 And more importantly, when are we going to indict Alvin Bragg for getting a perjurer up there?
00:32:42.700 Andrew Giuliani.
00:32:43.520 Steve, today, and I'm sorry, I had trouble hearing the questions there, so I'll just give you a quick update on this.
00:32:51.740 I'll let you re-ask the questions in terms of what happened.
00:32:54.200 The battle today was really about Costello and whether or not it was Cohen that seeked him as his counsel or whether he was actually just a legal advisor to Cohen.
00:33:03.360 I think the actual defense might have caught Cohen in another perjury charge over here.
00:33:08.940 What ended up happening was the assistant district attorneys tried to actually show that an email that was written from Costello's son to Costello saying,
00:33:19.440 it will be an honor to be on your team, was actually originated from Costello's son to Costello.
00:33:24.940 What Beauvais, the Trump defense attorney, actually proved today was that was in quotes.
00:33:30.000 And who quoted it?
00:33:31.180 Michael Cohen.
00:33:31.900 And reminder, Steve, Michael Cohen earlier in the week testified that Bob Costello was pursuing him to be his attorney and that he never, ever was his attorney.
00:33:43.800 It's obvious in looking at these emails that Bob Costello did represent Michael Cohen.
00:33:48.620 Michael Cohen testified to something different.
00:33:51.000 Michael Cohen may have perjured himself again.
00:33:52.900 We may have caught that just here this morning.
00:33:56.840 Walk me through, Andrew, the process.
00:33:59.520 Where do we go from here?
00:34:00.320 I guess it's over.
00:34:01.660 The defense rested.
00:34:02.820 The prosecution's rested.
00:34:04.660 They're going to have closing statements next Tuesday.
00:34:07.100 They're taking between now and next Tuesday off.
00:34:09.500 Yeah, at this point, we're going to get jury instructions this afternoon from 2.15 or so on.
00:34:16.280 You know, there's still a dismissal motion that this judge is waiting to rule on here, Steve.
00:34:22.000 Look, I could sell you the Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan Bridge, and Williamsburg Bridge for a better price than what it would actually cost this judge to actually dismiss this case.
00:34:32.040 But they have not ruled on that.
00:34:36.020 It's obvious, considering jury instructions are coming back, that the judge will not dismiss the case.
00:34:40.680 It will go to a jury.
00:34:42.200 And summations will begin next Tuesday.
00:34:44.680 So we'll take an entire week off, and summations will actually start up on Tuesday of next week, one week from today.
00:34:51.860 Thank you.
00:35:21.840 We'll be right back.
00:35:51.820 She could have removed Alvin Bragg from office.
00:35:55.140 She didn't.
00:35:56.140 And honestly, I think charges should be held up against Alvin Bragg, brought up against Alvin Bragg.
00:36:02.800 You're live streaming all the time, put on social media.
00:36:05.100 Where do people go, Andrew?
00:36:08.840 At Andrew H. Giuliani.
00:36:11.640 We'll be covering it again here this afternoon.
00:36:13.900 We'll be covering it starting Tuesday with the summations over here.
00:36:17.240 And you can get recaps all the time.
00:36:18.660 Thank you, Steve.
00:36:20.040 Yeah.
00:36:21.080 We'll see you at 5 o'clock, sir.
00:36:22.940 Thank you very much.
00:36:23.520 I'm not sure they're going through jury instructions to the jury.
00:36:25.840 I think they're technically trying to figure out what the charges are just with the judge.
00:36:29.340 We'll be more coverage, more wall-to-wall coverage of that at 5.
00:36:33.900 You had another.
00:36:35.040 So first off, everybody in the audience, I want to, Grace and Mo, I want everybody to read
00:36:41.720 this, we'll figure out how to get it past the paywall.
00:36:44.280 Bloomberg's worth $60 billion.
00:36:45.560 He'll figure out how to get the paywall.
00:36:47.000 Of course, I subscribe to Bloomberg.
00:36:48.580 Also, Bloomberg TV.
00:36:50.080 We normally have Bloomberg TV on 24-7.
00:36:53.220 We don't put it up here because, to me, it's because it's a trader's mentality.
00:36:57.480 It rolls 24 hours a day from Asia to Australia to India.
00:37:02.640 You can get a really good sense of the world, what's going on.
00:37:04.720 And it's all the important geopolitical news, not just business and financial news.
00:37:08.520 You've written another piece today that's actually more explosive than this because
00:37:12.960 the Biden and those guys don't want to talk about your first piece.
00:37:15.880 They don't want to discuss at all why the American people are sitting there going, hey,
00:37:19.640 my life just sucks under this, and it can't continue on.
00:37:23.300 Your piece today, and President Trump, I don't know if we have the clip, President Trump,
00:37:28.300 and knowing President Trump, he's saying it to get a reaction.
00:37:31.740 He said it in the Time magazine cover story, which I thought was one of the best interviews
00:37:35.720 he gave.
00:37:36.180 It was explosive.
00:37:37.680 The Time guy did a really good job.
00:37:40.320 And then he said it the other day, he's saying it now all the time at his rallies.
00:37:44.800 What is President Trump saying that you picked up on and did a deep dive on?
00:37:49.400 So my piece is called Trump Forever with a question mark, and it's based on, you know,
00:37:54.120 I get to sit in on kind of focus groups and stuff from time to time, strategists in both
00:37:57.880 parties will let me do this just to kind of get a pulse of what voters are talking
00:38:01.600 about and worrying about.
00:38:03.080 And one thing that I picked up on was that a lot of undecided voters and a lot of voters
00:38:08.100 who actually voted for Biden in 2020 but then have turned against him are hesitant to vote
00:38:14.760 for Donald Trump because they're afraid that if Trump is reelected, he'll never leave the
00:38:19.400 White House, that he'll wipe out term limits, declare himself king, and essentially establish
00:38:24.900 a permanent presidency.
00:38:26.020 And this is a real fear among real people who are out there.
00:38:29.380 This is because you think the media has played—by the way, let's play the clip from President
00:38:33.260 Trump, because President Trump does do this now just about every rally.
00:38:35.980 Let's go ahead and play it.
00:38:38.540 You know, FDR, 16 years, almost 16 years.
00:38:42.400 He was four-term.
00:38:44.380 I don't know.
00:38:45.000 Are we going to be considered three-term or two-term?
00:38:47.220 You tell me.
00:38:47.980 Ronnie, what do you think?
00:38:49.480 Are we three-term or two-term if we win?
00:38:52.040 Three-term or two-term.
00:38:56.640 And then the audience always goes, three, three.
00:38:59.300 The vote is—
00:38:59.860 Look, this isn't a media fabrication.
00:39:03.360 You know this.
00:39:03.920 Trump likes to talk about this stuff, number one.
00:39:06.980 But as I—
00:39:07.920 He said, I'll be a dictator for a day.
00:39:10.480 Sean Hannity invites him on to knock it down.
00:39:12.840 And he goes, no, no, I meant it.
00:39:14.040 I'm serious.
00:39:14.560 But my point is, you have a very wise individual quoted in this story that says, to do that
00:39:22.940 would take two-thirds of the House and the Senate.
00:39:25.220 It's a whole process.
00:39:26.120 It's not going to happen.
00:39:26.920 He does this.
00:39:27.640 This is what I love about him.
00:39:28.880 Okay, first off, half of this audience would say, hey, I'm good.
00:39:32.980 How do we make this happen?
00:39:35.000 Of course, MAGA would say, of course, how you do it?
00:39:38.080 He's just—he's clearly trying to trigger people.
00:39:40.660 But you're saying when you actually sit in these focus groups, there are some independent
00:39:44.720 voters who might vote for Trump who actually get triggered by this.
00:39:48.840 That's correct.
00:39:49.460 So the group of voters I'm looking at and writing about are not Rachel Maddow liberals
00:39:55.140 who think Trump's going to—whatever.
00:39:57.580 Those people are already convinced he'll declare himself king.
00:40:00.200 And it's not MAGA people who are thinking, hey, that would be great if he did it.
00:40:04.280 These are undecided, mostly battleground state voters who don't really like either candidate.
00:40:10.220 They're mad about Biden over inflation or they think he's too old or whatever, but
00:40:13.980 they are hesitating in getting behind Trump or deciding they won't get behind Trump because
00:40:18.140 they're worried.
00:40:18.900 They hear the stuff.
00:40:20.000 They see some of the January 6th stuff.
00:40:21.820 They see Trump's comment about, I'll be dictator for a day.
00:40:24.360 They hear Trump at the NRA rally saying three terms, three terms.
00:40:27.740 And they think, well, you know, I don't love Biden, but I don't want this guy to be president
00:40:32.020 forever.
00:40:32.580 And I take it when you say these focus groups, these are—not that they're dumb people,
00:40:36.740 but they're low information—they don't follow politics that closely.
00:40:40.140 So when they see President Trump triggering people like he does here, and the crowd responds
00:40:45.400 3-3-3 because those are his most ardent supporters, you're saying it rattles them because they haven't
00:40:50.900 heard this type of discussion.
00:40:52.280 I think it does.
00:40:52.940 And I think you hear a steady stream of it for reasons that you point out in the piece.
00:40:56.140 Trump loves doing this, I think, to troll liberals.
00:40:59.100 It's very effective, right?
00:41:00.600 He provides NBC primetime, you know, with wall-to-wall stuff.
00:41:06.300 That's what it's wall-to-wall coverage.
00:41:08.000 Talk about, right.
00:41:09.020 But what I'm saying is that strategists in both parties, Republicans and Democrats I talk to,
00:41:15.020 are picking up a backlash that Trump may not be—certainly isn't attending and may not know about,
00:41:20.540 that there are voters who are not happy with Biden who are getting triggered by this.
00:41:24.640 People who are open to his—they look back at his presidency and say, hey, maybe, but
00:41:29.080 there are other elements they're hearing, particularly this, and it causes them concern.
00:41:32.100 That's right.
00:41:32.440 They're afraid of it.
00:41:33.120 And we had, you know, one guy in this focus group, you know, undecided voter in Pennsylvania,
00:41:37.500 went for—he's not just worried about a Trump permanent presidency.
00:41:40.600 He thinks it's going to be a monarchy where he's going to pass it off to Barron, you know,
00:41:44.600 for a couple of terms, and that essentially will be like, you know, France in the 18th century
00:41:49.360 or something.
00:41:49.880 It'll be Trump's forever.
00:41:50.680 So that's 25 percent of the war room.
00:41:52.660 No, we're anti-monarchists.
00:41:55.680 We're definitely small-R Republicans.
00:41:58.200 We don't even like the monarchy in England.
00:42:00.120 When you sit in these focus groups, particularly with people that don't follow—that don't
00:42:05.700 watch the war room, that don't watch Rachel Maddow or that, what is the general concern?
00:42:10.700 Besides this, what are you hearing from people when you sit in?
00:42:13.480 And, like, I want to make sure people know this with Josh.
00:42:16.140 He's getting invited in by both Republicans and Democrats, right?
00:42:19.020 Because they look at Bloomberg as really the most important of the business press because
00:42:24.620 you talk to the capital markets guys all the time.
00:42:26.760 So what are you hearing when you sit there?
00:42:28.300 Yeah, well, you said, look, if you're an undecided voter at this point, right, you're
00:42:32.360 either not paying—I mean, because, you know, both these guys have been around forever.
00:42:36.320 They've both been president, right?
00:42:37.560 And if you can't make up your mind, you're probably not paying super close attention,
00:42:40.800 whichever way you want to go, right?
00:42:42.420 So these are people who are not super high-information voters.
00:42:47.020 I think all of the ones in the focus groups I was in did vote in 2020.
00:42:52.280 So these are people that vote, but maybe they don't tune in until the last minute.
00:42:56.280 A lot of these people think maybe, you know, RFK will be president or maybe some new candidate
00:43:01.080 will come in.
00:43:02.160 They're not giving a lot of hard thought to this.
00:43:03.700 But what they are generally is very frustrated over the economy, very frustrated over the choice
00:43:09.980 between Biden and Trump, but what would come up again and again in these groups is that,
00:43:14.200 you know, we voted—for the ones that voted for Biden in 2020, we voted for Biden because
00:43:18.200 we wanted change, we wanted normalcy, we wanted a good economy, and we thought he would be
00:43:23.400 temporary in a lot of cases, that he would be a transitional figure as Biden.
00:43:26.520 I think he sold himself as that.
00:43:28.000 Oh, he did.
00:43:28.920 I think he sold himself as that.
00:43:29.960 And, you know, he's sticking around.
00:43:31.400 The economy, the country is not going in a way that they'd hoped, and they're mad about it.
00:43:35.380 They're frustrated, and they're looking for options, but what's keeping them from getting in
00:43:39.320 getting on the Trump train is that they think Trump's going to make himself king.
00:43:43.980 When you talk to strategists of the two bases of the parties, the MAGA base and you talk
00:43:49.920 about the progressive base, which one do you view now as more motivated and coming out
00:43:56.280 in bigger numbers?
00:43:57.340 There's no question that the Republican base is more motivated to vote for Trump than Democrats
00:44:02.700 are for Biden.
00:44:03.740 That's clear in every poll I've seen, public, private, Democrat, Republican.
00:44:08.100 The question, I think, really, and the election might come down to this, is can Democrats do
00:44:15.840 an effective enough job of scaring people like the ones that I'm writing about into this piece
00:44:21.480 into thinking, you know what?
00:44:22.560 I don't like Biden, but I'm afraid of Trump.
00:44:25.620 I'm afraid he'll declare himself president for life.
00:44:27.960 I don't like that, so I'm going to hold my nose and vote for Joe Biden.
00:44:30.780 And so you think this is going to be a big push between now and Election Day?
00:44:34.200 Well, if you look at the options Biden has to talk about, right, it's not going to be
00:44:39.640 that inflation's going great.
00:44:41.900 It's not going to be that your per capita spending is twice what it was in the Trump
00:44:46.540 administration, because it's not.
00:44:47.840 As we said last segment, it's one quarter of what it was over Trump.
00:44:52.320 So you have to come out with arguments to get people not to vote for Donald Trump and
00:44:56.500 to vote for Joe Biden.
00:44:58.200 And one of the arguments that seems to be effective with some of these voters is that
00:45:02.900 he's going to declare himself king.
00:45:04.420 Where did they go to get your books?
00:45:06.680 Two books are Rise of Right-Wing Populism, Devil's Bargain, Steve Bannon, Donald Trump,
00:45:11.860 and the Storming of the Presidency.
00:45:13.220 Left-wing populism is The Rebels.
00:45:15.460 And you can find me on Twitter at atjoshuagreen.com.
00:45:18.300 And for our audience, I can't recommend strong enough the first book.
00:45:21.580 And the second book's great.
00:45:22.540 But if you want to understand the quasi-rise of left-wing populism, Elizabeth Warren makes
00:45:28.860 a Bernie, AOC, all your favorites.
00:45:32.420 Social media, where are they going to get you?
00:45:33.960 Twitter is joshuagreen, and Blue Sky is also joshuagreen.
00:45:37.860 OK, we're going to push this out hard.
00:45:39.440 And great to have you in here.
00:45:40.820 Look forward to these other pieces as you do it.
00:45:43.240 This one on economics is big.
00:45:46.340 And the one about President Trump may be inadvertently scaring people, right?
00:45:50.860 We've got to, of course, our audience, hey, what's the three?
00:45:53.180 Give me three.
00:45:53.740 I'll throw in a fourth, right?
00:45:55.520 What's this barren thing?
00:45:56.420 Don't skip Don Jr., right?
00:45:58.320 He can't do it.
00:45:59.300 Joshua Green, thanks.
00:46:00.180 Thanks for coming in, buddy.
00:46:01.280 OK, short break.
00:46:02.600 We will end with the two wrong.

00:47:15.760 They're the best in the business.
00:47:16.800 Talk to the consultants, MyPatriotSupply.com.
00:47:19.260 I want to make sure this audience reads the first—the second one, don't get me wrong.
00:47:33.480 It's important, but I think it's ephemeral.
00:47:36.560 Obviously, President Trump is kidding there.
00:47:39.340 Although, like I said, if he wanted a third term, he'd have to pass two-thirds of the House, two-thirds of the Senate.
00:47:47.140 So in today's politics, it's just not practical.
00:47:50.680 What we got to do is get this one right in every aspect of it.
00:47:54.180 I think that is what his focus is.
00:47:55.780 Of course, he's going to trigger these liberals at every possible moment.
00:48:00.720 The first piece, though, is pure signal.
00:48:02.580 It answers analytically something we've been talking about, and it really does a very good job of distilling down to the lived experience of American citizens what their plight is
00:48:16.920 and why, in their own common sense, they can't be BS'd around this.
00:48:23.520 They see it.
00:48:24.180 You can go out by economics.
00:48:25.240 You can say the stock market's great.
00:48:26.740 This is great.
00:48:28.200 Everything's great.
00:48:29.000 And they're not buying it.
00:48:29.920 And if you watch MSNBC and the business channels, they're just over and over again.
00:48:34.640 Things are great.
00:48:35.280 Why don't you appreciate it?
00:48:36.300 Paul Krugman, et cetera.
00:48:38.220 So a very important piece, because this is going to come down a lot, particularly in those battleground states where we need to get those 25 counties.
00:48:49.400 Two people make a decision that, hey, the Trump years were far better for me than what Biden is selling, and I see everything he's selling for the future.
00:48:57.320 It's not going to get better.
00:48:59.000 Like I said, every defense mechanism they've had, law for it, now it's going to get even darker, I think.
00:49:04.520 So we've got to be this audience, since you're the vanguard, and we try to get you some of the best thinking out there.
00:49:10.600 Also, Josh has spent eight years of his life really the first serious journalist to look at the populist movement through the lens of the financial crisis of 2008,
00:49:20.780 because we've essentially never recovered from that, the working class and middle class, certainly.
00:49:26.660 So I was going to have Judge Gableman on here about the Robin Voss situation in Wisconsin.
00:49:33.420 However, it's so involved, we need more time.
00:49:38.900 And so Judge Gableman is going to join me tonight at 6 with Rasmussen.
00:49:46.400 Mark Mitchell will be joining us back.
00:49:48.720 We haven't had Mark on for a while with Rasmussen.
00:49:50.900 I want to follow on Josh and get into some of these numbers deeply about the other aspect, the lawfare aspect of this,
00:49:58.820 and how that's playing, because that's coming unwound.
00:50:01.020 Remember, we're not just going for a victory here.
00:50:05.100 We're going for a massive victory to take the House, and you saw DeGrasse yesterday, to hold the House that we have and add some seats,
00:50:14.640 to then add some seats, actually take the Senate and add seats, state legislatures, governorships, and particularly a blowout for the presidency.
00:50:21.980 We have this opportunity of this convergence of forces, and you've got to push forward.
00:50:27.920 Didn't get there in 22, did take control, didn't totally get there, didn't get the 30 or 35 seats we thought we would get.
00:50:35.380 But when you have these moves, you have these possibilities, you've got to drop the hammer and go and go and go.
00:50:40.320 And this is why President Trump has to remain on offense.
00:50:43.720 Offense is what's turned this around.
00:50:45.480 The show of force in New York, it was crickets for the first couple weeks, now it's a show of force.
00:50:54.360 We're changing the narrative here, and you're changing it by doing what you do best, which is being a force multiplier.
00:51:00.800 So this fight we're totally engaged in the next 30 days in this first component piece to November 5th, November 5th, I think is what I call the bonfire, the vanities with lawfare.
00:51:14.120 Because you're going to have the Supreme Court ruling in mid-June before they take off, you're going to have Judge Cannon, and she's going to come out, actually with the dismissal maybe on one part of it, and then put Jack Smith on trial, which we need to.
00:51:27.120 We need to turn the guns around on Alvin Bragg, on Jack Smith, and go on offense against these guys.
00:51:32.560 And this is why this vote, we don't want to do it now with Bill Blassett, but we're going to get there probably, I don't know, this week, or to talk to your representatives next week, of where is the contempt charge on Garland.
00:51:45.920 We had these throwdown hearings in the firestorm last week.
00:51:48.720 Where is it?
00:51:50.140 So a lot to go through, and you guys are the key part of it.
00:51:54.820 Is Mike Lindell with us?
00:51:56.100 So, Mike, we're not going to have a Judge Gableman.
00:51:58.120 And he needs more time, and I want to give this more time, because this Robin Voss situation, just like in Georgia, you can't let these things kind of hang out there.
00:52:05.860 Now, in Georgia, the state convention, you know, the grassroots movement, the MAGA movement, at each of these state conventions, not just the precinct strategy, now you're going up.
00:52:15.240 You're going up.
00:52:16.260 You're going up the food chain.
00:52:17.900 You're taking over the state parties.
00:52:19.500 You're taking over the state conventions.
00:52:20.860 You're electing representatives to the RNC.
00:52:23.260 This is all part of a movement.
00:52:24.520 This is part of a process.
00:52:25.880 It's not going to happen overnight, but you see that we're gaining momentum every day.
00:52:29.820 Gableman's going to be on this Robin Voss situation.
00:52:32.040 What's in Wisconsin may actually be more important than what's in Georgia, because the number in Georgia looks so blowout, and we don't have that in Wisconsin.
00:52:39.620 Mike, I know you're working on that, but what the audience wants to hear from you is they've been in love with this deal, and they want to know more details about what you're doing, because I'm getting tremendous feedback by the Warren Posse.
00:52:50.900 Yeah, and thanks, Stephen.
00:52:53.300 Yeah, the Robin Voss is a big part of a project we're working on everywhere in the country.
00:52:57.460 But I will tell you that this current offer we have for the Warren Posse has been our number one offer of the year, and here's why.
00:53:05.140 We had a box store that actually ordered these new percale sheets, and they canceled us again, everybody.
00:53:11.480 And I said, you know what, we're going to go to the War Room Posse at these wholesale prices.
00:53:17.160 You guys are getting them until they're gone.
00:53:19.140 Once they're gone, they're gone at these prices.
00:53:21.460 $26.98 for the queen, $29.98 for the king.
00:53:26.020 These are the wholesale prices this box store would have paid.
00:53:29.120 I'm not going to name it, because we're still in negotiations for other products.
00:53:33.000 It's a long way back, the cancellation they've done on my employee-owned company.
00:53:36.620 But their loss is all of your gain.
00:53:39.460 You guys have responded to this, and it's been a big benefit to everybody here.
