Bannon's War Room - Episode 4228： Rise Of The New Press Corp

00:00:00.000 First, can we just get your reactions to what you have learned about DeepSeq in the last 24 hours?

00:00:05.540 What do you make of it? How can this change things?

00:00:08.680 Well, exactly what Andrew S. Torkin said, there's a lot of open questions.

00:00:13.200 And, you know, I think that the likelihood it was trained for as little money as it said, it seems very unlikely.

00:00:20.260 It also seems likely that they actually, to train these smaller models, which we already knew in the U.S.,

00:00:25.120 you have to have access to and use larger models like the LAMA, ChetGPT, etc.

00:00:30.000 So, look, I think it's extremely important and interesting result.

00:00:33.740 I don't think that that suggests that the large models are actually not essentially valuable in creating things like DeepSeq.

00:00:41.300 OK, so let's turn now to what you're hoping to do. Tell us more about the good.

00:00:45.940 We hear a lot about the worries people have about AI, the sort of scary future that it could portend.

00:00:51.680 But its advocates say a lot of good can be done with it.

00:00:54.200 Hard to imagine something a better cause than curing cancer. Talk to us about that.

00:00:58.060 So, you know, as you as you mentioned, the general discourse and actually human history,

00:01:03.200 when a new major technology comes wrong, whether it's the printing press, electricity, the car is, oh, my God, everything's going to go wrong.

00:01:10.200 Right. Like society is going to break. Human agency is going to break, etc.

00:01:13.520 And yet when we look at the end result, like we can't have the society without the printing press, electricity, the computer, etc.

00:01:21.980 It turns out that it massively increases human agency.

00:01:25.340 And part of that increase of human agency is when we all get access to it.

00:01:31.080 Like, for example, when you all get access to the car, not only can I go visit my friends,

00:01:34.360 but the doctor can come do like house calls for my kids or for my grandparents and that kind of thing.

00:01:40.340 And that is what super agency is.

00:01:43.000 And I think what we will see with AI is we'll actually increase human agency.

00:01:48.220 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.

00:01:55.840 Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people.

00:02:01.060 Here's the time I got a free shot.

00:02:02.320 All these networks lying about the people.

00:02:05.320 The people have had a belly full of it.

00:02:07.220 I know you don't like hearing that.

00:02:08.640 I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.

00:02:11.340 It's going to happen.

00:02:12.400 And where do people like that go to share the big line?

00:02:16.020 MAGA Media.

00:02:17.360 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

00:02:22.780 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

00:02:26.560 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

00:02:32.760 War Room.

00:02:33.760 Here's your host, Stephen K. Band.

00:02:42.400 It's Tuesday, 28 January, year of alert, 2025.

00:02:45.240 Thank you for joining us for the late afternoon, early evening edition of the War Room.

00:02:50.580 Historic day for the War Room.

00:02:52.200 Our own Natalie Winters, her first day as White House correspondent for the War Room.

00:02:56.900 A historic with Caroline Levitt.

00:02:59.100 Just an amazing press briefing today.

00:03:01.400 Her first, the first of President Trump, Trump 47's tenure.

00:03:07.640 Historic in many ways.

00:03:08.780 Matt Boyle, many of the folks you know, Brian Glenn, all there.

00:03:12.460 Asking questions.

00:03:13.140 We're going to get to that in a moment.

00:03:14.740 Fortunate enough to have Senator Josh Hawley join us today.

00:03:18.400 Senator Hawley, I don't think we could get two guys on the opposite ends of the spectrum politically.

00:03:24.300 As Reid Hoffman and Senator Josh Hawley.

00:03:28.480 Reid Hoffman's a techno-feudalist.

00:03:31.040 You're a populist, conservative populist.

00:03:33.620 Hoffman's come out with a book, Super Agency, just today.

00:03:37.220 And it's about what could possibly go right with our AI future.

00:03:42.980 You wrote a very chilling, impressive book a couple of years ago.

00:03:46.540 I guess a year ago we had you on.

00:03:48.260 The Tyranny of Big Tech.

00:03:50.960 What is it?

00:03:51.820 Particularly what you've seen the last couple of days.

00:03:53.560 You're one of the leading technology experts in the United States Senate.

00:03:57.300 Where do you think we stand with all this, sir?

00:03:59.440 Well, I think that, first of all, it's great to be with you, Steve.

00:04:01.440 Thanks for having me.

00:04:02.100 I think what we're seeing is these tech companies continue to amass incredible power of the deep seek breakthrough, if that's what we're calling it.

00:04:08.960 And China just shows the incredible power that these corporations are going to have with the technologies that they control.

00:04:17.440 And, you know, I've seen what Reid Hoffman said about this is going to be great for everybody and everybody's going to benefit from it.

00:04:24.080 I'm not so sure about that.

00:04:25.360 I know who's going to benefit from this latest breakthrough.

00:04:27.740 That's the Chinese communists. 0.78

00:04:28.860 I know who's going to benefit from all of our data being taken by these corporations.

00:04:33.780 It's the corporate behemoths who can take all of our information without our permission, who can use it to train their models without any payment to us, without any protection for our rights.

00:04:44.940 So, yeah, I'm concerned.

00:04:46.280 I'm really concerned.

00:04:47.160 I think the tech companies, bottom line, Steve, I think they're only getting more powerful.

00:04:50.780 They're only getting bigger.

00:04:52.060 And I think we've got to be really, really careful here.

00:04:54.420 As you say in the book, we've kind of made Obama administration start with a Faustian pact with Silicon Valley, which I think is an apartheid state.

00:05:04.660 But they could get incredibly wealthy and have monopolistic power.

00:05:08.560 The anti-trade, the Justice Department would never touch them.

00:05:11.320 But they would have to leave us to be technologically dominant.

00:05:14.740 Do you feel comfortable with that pact, as one side as that is, given what TikTok, the power of TikTok and social media?

00:05:22.280 And let's assume for this discussion, deep seek is not a Chinese psyop, but it's actually maybe a Sputnik moment.

00:05:29.200 Do you feel comfortable that Reid Hoffman and Andreessen and Bezos and have they kept their end of the bargain, sir?

00:05:37.560 No, they haven't.

00:05:38.460 I mean, manifestly not.

00:05:39.500 They've gotten rich, Steve.

00:05:40.720 They've gotten powerful.

00:05:42.100 They have taken our information.

00:05:43.460 Let's just remember how they power these companies and how they power AI.

00:05:46.780 They come and they take our information.

00:05:48.560 They go out there and they scour everything on the web, your personal stuff, your pictures, your writing, whatever is out there, everyday American stuff.

00:05:55.520 Do they ask you permission?

00:05:56.580 No, they don't.

00:05:57.220 Do they pay you for it?

00:05:58.140 No, they do not.

00:05:58.740 Do they care about your rights?

00:06:00.420 Nope, don't care at all.

00:06:01.320 They take it, they load it up into their large language models and whatever AI system they're running, and then they profit off of it.

00:06:08.220 And yeah, the bargain supposedly is, okay, but you'll deliver great technological progress that'll benefit everybody.

00:06:13.780 Now we just see the Chinese come through with a huge breakthrough that looks like they're out ahead in front now of this game.

00:06:20.300 So Silicon Valley has not kept up their pledge, their promise, if that's what it was, to always maintain us as number one.

00:06:26.680 But meanwhile, they've continued to amass all the power.

00:06:29.120 So they've got more power than ever before, and yet here we are now starting to lag behind in terms of technology.

00:06:34.860 And you know, Steve, you and I both know what they'll do next.

00:06:37.520 These companies, they'll come to Washington and they'll say, we need more money.

00:06:40.840 We need more special favors.

00:06:43.160 That's what it'll be.

00:06:44.100 A bailout.

00:06:44.500 A bailout.

00:06:44.800 Give us more.

00:06:45.480 Give us more.

00:06:46.080 It's 100%.

00:06:46.960 100%.

00:06:48.840 Are you comfortable, sir, given your focus on the Chinese Communist Party and national security, are you comfortable?

00:06:55.120 We did not have an intelligence failure here, maybe a massive intelligence, since AI is looked at as the potential new superweapon.

00:07:01.800 To be caught by surprise, you know, can we afford a Sputnik moment in the 21st century?

00:07:07.140 And do you think the intelligence services were caught by surprise?

00:07:10.400 I think they probably were caught by surprise.

00:07:12.100 I can certainly just say from my perspective that we had no forewarning of this.

00:07:15.480 It wasn't like a while ago the ICs, they like to say the intelligence community, was flagging this and saying, oh, this could be coming.

00:07:24.360 So, number one, I think it does come as a surprise.

00:07:26.760 And here's the other thing. 0.87

00:07:27.620 See, we've had an incredibly stupid policy of allowing our giant corporations like Microsoft to go and build labs in China, to collaborate with China on AI, to share AI information, to share technology, to share processing capability. 0.93

00:07:44.140 Where has that gotten us? 0.94

00:07:45.500 I think we see today it has certainly benefited the Chinese.

00:07:48.700 Has it benefited America?

00:07:50.200 I don't think so.

00:07:50.980 Has it benefited the American people?

00:07:52.340 I don't think so.

00:07:53.200 Steve, we need to put in place right now limitations on the transfer of AI technology to and from China.

00:07:59.260 American companies should not be sharing this information with Chinese companies in any guise.

00:08:05.140 That's easy.

00:08:05.960 That ought to be put into law right now.

00:08:08.000 And we ought to recognize this for the national security concern that it is.

00:08:11.100 Senator, I think you're considered by the MAGA base and the populist wing of the leading voice of populism in the Senate.

00:08:20.500 What can one guy or a couple of men and women do?

00:08:23.480 Seriously, even though we control, the Republicans control the Senate, the populist wing is getting larger.

00:08:30.700 Obviously, President Trump's a populist, but you're pretty small in numbers.

00:08:33.700 What can you guys do to set things right there in regards to the kind of monopolistic power of big tech?

00:08:42.220 I think we've got to continue to push the envelope and sound the alarm.

00:08:45.300 And, Steve, we can't be shy about talking about just what you're saying.

00:08:47.820 I think we've got to call out these monopolists.

00:08:49.620 And listen, just because Mark Zuckerberg is now cozying up to the president.

00:08:55.360 And listen, I'm glad Mark Zuckerberg can read an election return.

00:08:59.420 He looks at the election.

00:09:00.280 He's like, oh, huh, gee, it looks like the American people actually don't like what I was doing.

00:09:04.420 You know, he wants to sell a product so he can read an election return, more power to him.

00:09:08.220 But we shouldn't trust him.

00:09:09.980 We shouldn't trust any of these guys.

00:09:11.380 Bezos, I don't trust any of them.

00:09:13.020 And we would be insane, insane to now allow them to continue to amass power and just take them at their word when they say, oh, we won't censor you again.

00:09:22.100 We'll start behaving better.

00:09:23.420 No, they won't.

00:09:24.280 They're going to do what's in their best interest, their bottom line.

00:09:28.140 And they will absolutely come after us again.

00:09:31.240 They will try to censor us, cancel us again if we let them have the power.

00:09:34.840 We ought to right now make clear we are never going to put ourselves in a position again like we were the last four years when they tried to control our information, control our news, interfere in presidential elections.

00:09:45.160 Steve, we've got to take away their power to do that.

00:09:47.760 And we'd be real foolish if we took our eye off that ball.

00:09:50.880 Senator Hawley, Missouri's looked at as a center of common sense in this country and a bellwether.

00:09:58.980 Where are the folks in Missouri on these issues?

00:10:00.680 No, I mean, when you talk to them, I can tell you they don't share the pro-technology, the technology lovers, their view that this is all just going to be wonderful and we have nothing to worry about with AI.

00:10:12.460 We've got nothing to worry about with all of the transfers of technology to China.

00:10:16.220 If you come to Missouri, what I hear over and over people say is, what's AI going to mean for my job?

00:10:21.940 What's it going to mean for my personal information?

00:10:24.500 Am I going to be able to keep it private?

00:10:25.960 What's it going to mean for my kid?

00:10:27.740 You know, is this technology going to come and take all of my kid's personal information and scoop it up?

00:10:33.040 What's it going to tell my kid?

00:10:34.620 You know, my kid logs on and has a conversation with ChatGPT or DeepSeek or whatever.

00:10:41.060 Is it going to, like, give my kid advice on how to kill himself?

00:10:43.780 Is it going to give my kid advice on how to do drugs?

00:10:46.940 I mean, so I think people look at this and they say, this is really worrisome.

00:10:50.560 And here's the biggest thing, Steve, that populists get.

00:10:53.100 The biggest danger here is the transfer of power.

00:10:55.440 It's the transfer of power from everyday working people who are the foundation of this country 0.99

00:11:00.580 to the most powerful people in the world and the technology companies.

00:11:04.380 And my concern is, if we're not careful, AI will accelerate that transfer of power.

00:11:09.160 And it'll be even more power to the big guys, even more control, and even less for us, less protection of our rights.

00:11:14.980 We can't let that happen.

00:11:16.940 Senator, before I let you go, confirmations last week went great for the president and for the cabinet members.

00:11:23.560 Tomorrow, we start two really tough days.

00:11:25.760 We've got Pam for, I guess, her last day, Pam Bondi for AG.

00:11:29.480 We've also got Bobby Kennedy's first day, then Cash and Tulsi on Thursday.

00:11:34.400 They've already come out New York Times, lead story, the hit piece on Tulsi.

00:11:38.420 They're coming after Cash.

00:11:39.820 CBS News has got an exclusive on some whistleblower.

00:11:42.400 What can this audience expect, and what would you tell the war room posse they need to do?

00:11:47.560 We were manning the ramparts over the last couple of weeks, particularly for Pete Hexeth.

00:11:52.680 What's in store, and what should we be focused on, sir?

00:11:56.180 Well, I think you can see where the left is headed with this, and we're just bracing for impact in terms of what might come out in the next 48 hours in terms of attempted hit pieces.

00:12:04.600 But I think the message here has got to be, over these next 48 hours, you've got to be out there on the record and correcting, setting straight all the lies that are going to be told about these nominees.

00:12:15.260 You mentioned Cash Patel.

00:12:16.780 I think Cash in particular, I sit on the Judiciary Committee.

00:12:19.960 That hearing, I think, is going to be blockbuster.

00:12:22.400 The left hates this guy.

00:12:23.840 They hate him with a deep and abiding passion because he told the truth about Russiagate.

00:12:28.820 He told the truth about the weaponization of the FBI.

00:12:32.240 He blew the whistle on that early.

00:12:33.740 They detest this guy.

00:12:35.600 It's interesting, Steve, in Pam Bondi's hearing before Judiciary, which went great for her, she was phenomenal, the Democrats ended up spending half the time on Cash Patel, who wasn't even there.

00:12:44.640 So that tells you where their head's at, right?

00:12:46.940 They were going to come for him.

00:12:48.460 So we've got to be ready to get out there and set straight the lies, and we just need Republicans to stand firm.

00:12:54.960 So I can tell you I'm suited up and ready to go.

00:12:57.960 It's going to be a wild few days.

00:13:01.720 Senator Hawley, thank you so much.

00:13:03.120 I know you're super busy.

00:13:04.160 Really appreciate you on Big Tech.

00:13:06.260 You're one of the watchdogs up there where I count on.

00:13:09.220 What's your social media?

00:13:10.120 Where do they go to follow you, Senator?

00:13:11.640 You can follow me on X at Holly Moe, and the same handles on Instagram and Facebook.

00:13:19.200 Senator Hawley, thank you.

00:13:20.220 We'll be watching on Thursday, sir.

00:13:21.700 Thank you.

00:13:22.240 Thank you.

00:13:23.140 Appreciate it.

00:13:23.580 He nailed it, didn't he?

00:13:27.040 As we talked about it, half of Pam's first part of her hearing was all Cash.

00:13:34.540 We're going to go to the White House.

00:13:36.360 We're going to go to our White House correspondent, Natalie Winters.

00:13:39.640 And we're going to talk about manning the ramparts, what has to happen over the next couple of days.

00:13:44.200 Because, folks, we're down in another fight right now.

00:13:47.460 They are coming for Cash Patel.

00:13:48.940 They're coming for Tulsi Gabbard.

00:13:50.240 They're coming for Bobby Kennedy.

00:13:51.380 They're not so much coming for Pam Bonney.

00:13:55.880 They've lost that one.

00:13:56.720 But the other three, they think they can get this.

00:16:27.260 And the golden age of America has most definitely begun.

00:16:31.060 The Senate has already confirmed five of President Trump's exceptional cabinet nominees.

00:16:36.620 Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

00:16:38.720 Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

00:16:40.840 CIA Director John Ratcliffe.

00:16:42.880 Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

00:16:45.400 And Treasury Secretary Scott Besson.

00:16:47.240 It is imperative that the Senate continues to confirm the remainder of the President's well-qualified nominees as quickly as possible.

00:16:55.960 Since taking the oath of office, President Trump has taken more than 300 executive actions,

00:17:02.840 secured nearly $1 trillion in U.S. investments,

00:17:06.760 deported illegal alien rapists, gang members, and suspected terrorists from our homeland,

00:17:12.560 and restored common sense to the federal government.

00:17:15.000 I want to take a moment to go through some of these extraordinary actions.

00:17:20.220 On day one, President Trump declared a national emergency at our southern border

00:17:24.700 to end the four-year-long invasion of illegal aliens under the previous administration.

00:17:31.500 Additionally, President Trump signed an executive order to end catch-and-release

00:17:35.540 and finish construction of his effective border wall.

00:17:38.920 By using every lever of his federal power, President Trump has sent a loud and clear message to the entire world.

00:17:48.440 America will no longer tolerate illegal immigration. 0.96

00:17:52.380 And this President expects that every nation on this planet will cooperate with the repatriation of their citizens.

00:18:00.000 As proven by this weekend, when President Trump swiftly directed his team to issue harsh and effective sanctions and tariffs on the Colombian government,

00:18:09.980 upon hearing, they were denied a U.S. military aircraft full of their own citizens who were deported by this administration.

00:18:17.520 Within hours, the Colombian government agreed to all of President Trump's demands,

00:18:22.480 proving America is once again respected on the world stage.

00:18:26.740 So, to foreign nationals who are thinking about trying to illegally enter the United States, think again.

00:18:34.360 Under this president, you will be detained and you will be deported.

00:18:39.000 Every day, Americans are safer because of the violent criminals that President Trump's administration is removing from our communities.

00:18:47.360 Before I take your questions, I would like to point out to all of you once again,

00:18:51.020 have access to the most transparent and accessible president in American history.

00:18:57.260 There has never been a president who communicates with the American people and the American press corps

00:19:02.680 as openly and authentically as the 45th and now 47th president of the United States.

00:19:10.320 This past week, President Trump has held multiple news conferences,

00:19:14.400 gaggled on Air Force One multiple times and sat down for a two-part interview on Fox News, which aired last week.

00:19:22.320 As Politico summed it up best, Trump is everywhere again.

00:19:27.360 And that's because President Trump has a great story to tell about the legendary American revival that is well underway.

00:19:34.680 And in keeping with this revolutionary media approach that President Trump deployed during the campaign,

00:19:42.060 the Trump White House will speak to all media outlets and personalities,

00:19:46.840 not just the legacy media who are seated in this room.

00:19:50.280 Because according to recent polling from Gallup,

00:19:53.180 Americans' trust in mass media has fallen to a record low.

00:19:58.280 Millions of Americans, especially young people,

00:20:00.920 have turned from traditional television outlets and newspapers

00:20:04.120 to consume their news from podcasts, blogs, social media, and other independent outlets.

00:20:10.600 It's essential to our team that we share President Trump's message everywhere

00:20:15.420 and adapt this White House to the new media landscape in 2025.

00:20:20.300 To do this, I am excited to announce the following changes will be made

00:20:23.960 to this historic James S. Brady briefing room,

00:20:26.780 where Mr. Brady's legacy will endure.

00:20:28.860 This White House believes strongly in the First Amendment,

00:20:32.940 so it's why our team will work diligently to restore the press passes of the 440 journalists

00:20:38.760 whose passes were wrongly revoked by the previous administration.

00:20:42.860 We're also opening up this briefing room to new media voices

00:20:46.320 who produce news-related content

00:20:48.600 and whose outlet is not already represented by one of the seats in this room.

00:20:52.980 We welcome independent journalists, podcasters, social media influencers,

00:20:58.700 and content creators to apply for credentials to cover this White House.

00:21:03.500 And you can apply now on our new website, whitehouse.gov slash new media.

00:21:10.140 Caroline, first of all, thank you to you and President Trump

00:21:12.640 for actually giving voices to new media outlets

00:21:16.060 that represent millions and millions of Americans.

00:21:18.560 The thing I would add, I've got a two-part question for you.

00:21:22.280 The first is, can you expand upon what steps the White House is going to take

00:21:26.780 to bring more voices, not less,

00:21:29.560 which is what our founder, Andrew Breitbart, believed in,

00:21:32.080 into this room where they rightly belong?

00:21:35.120 Yeah, absolutely.

00:21:36.480 And as I said in my opening statement, Matt,

00:21:38.640 it is a priority of this White House to honor the First Amendment.

00:21:41.900 And it is a fact that Americans are consuming their news media

00:21:45.560 from various different platforms, especially young people.

00:21:49.020 And as the youngest press secretary in history, thanks to President Trump,

00:21:52.280 I take great pride in opening up this room to new media voices

00:21:56.380 to share the president's message with as many Americans as possible.

00:22:00.620 In doing so, number one, we will ensure that outlets like yours,

00:22:04.380 Axios and Breitbart, which are widely respected and viewed outlets,

00:22:08.080 have an actual seat in this room every day.

00:22:10.620 We also, again, encourage anybody in this country,

00:22:14.480 whether you are a TikTok content creator, a blogger, a podcaster,

00:22:18.800 if you are producing legitimate news content, no matter the medium,

00:22:24.080 you will be allowed to apply for press credentials to this White House.

00:22:27.960 And as I said earlier, our new media website is whitehouse.gov slash new media.

00:22:35.500 And so we encourage people to apply.

00:22:37.180 Again, as long as you are creating news-related content of the day

00:22:41.760 and you're a legitimate independent journalist, you're welcome to cover this White House.

00:22:45.620 And secondly, Caroline, you said you laid out several of the actions that President Trump has taken.

00:22:50.200 Obviously, it's a stark contrast to the previous administration, a breakback speed from President Trump.

00:22:55.620 Can we expect that pace to continue as the first hundred days moves along here and beyond that?

00:23:01.860 Absolutely. There's no doubt President Trump has always been the hardest working man in politics.

00:23:06.580 I think that's been proven over the past week.

00:23:09.240 This president has, again, signed more than 300 executive orders.

00:23:12.860 He's taken historic action.

00:23:15.100 I gaggle the board of Air Force One to mark the first 100 days of this administration, 4 p.m. last Friday.

00:23:21.500 Our first hundred hours, rather.

00:23:22.700 And this president did more in the first hundred hours than the previous president did in the first 100 days.

00:23:28.120 So, President Trump, I think you can all expect for him to continue to work at this breakneck speed.

00:23:34.180 So, I hope you're all ready to work very hard.

00:23:35.820 I know that we are.

00:23:36.820 Zeke Miller.

00:23:37.420 The American people gave President Trump an overwhelming mandate on November 5th.

00:23:41.400 And he's just trying to ensure that the tax money going out the door in this very bankrupt city actually aligns with the will and the priorities of the American people.

00:23:50.480 So, will there be a line line?

00:23:51.400 Yes.

00:23:52.440 Welcome.

00:23:53.220 You look great.

00:23:54.040 You're doing a great job.

00:23:54.920 Thank you.

00:23:55.040 You talked about transparency.

00:23:56.960 And some of us in this room know how just transparent President Trump has been the last five or six years.

00:24:03.100 I think you'll do the same.

00:24:04.240 My question is, do you think this latest incident with the president of Colombia is indicative of the global, powerful respect they have for President Trump moving forward,

00:24:16.680 not only to engage in economic diplomacy with these countries, but also world peace?

00:24:23.860 Absolutely.

00:24:24.760 I'll echo the answer that the president gave on Air Force One last night when he was asked a very similar question by one of your colleagues in the media.

00:24:31.960 This signifies peace through strength is back.

00:24:36.080 And this president will not tolerate illegal immigration into America's interior.

00:24:41.900 And he expects every nation on this planet, again, to cooperate with the repatriation of their citizens who illegally entered into our country and broke America's laws. 0.69

00:24:52.220 Won't be tolerated.

00:24:53.580 And as you saw, the Colombian government quickly folded and agreed to all of President Trump's demands.

00:24:58.280 Flights are underway once again.

00:24:59.440 Thank you.

00:25:29.420 Thank you.

00:25:31.420 Thank you.

00:25:59.400 Thank you.

00:26:01.400 Thank you.

00:26:29.400 Thank you.

00:26:31.400 Thank you.

00:26:33.400 Thank you.

00:26:34.400 Thank you.

00:26:36.400 Thank you.

00:26:37.400 Thank you.

00:26:39.400 Thank you.

00:26:40.400 Thank you.

00:26:42.400 Thank you.

00:26:43.400 Thank you.

00:26:45.400 Thank you.

00:26:46.400 Thank you.

00:26:47.400 Thank you.

00:26:49.400 Thank you.

00:26:51.400 Thank you.

00:26:52.400 Thank you.

00:26:54.400 Thank you.

00:26:55.400 Thank you.

00:26:57.400 Thank you.

00:26:58.400 Thank you.

00:26:59.400 Thank you.

00:27:00.400 Thank you.

00:27:02.400 Thank you.

00:27:03.400 Thank you.

00:27:05.400 Thank you.

00:27:06.400 Thank you.

00:27:07.400 Thank you.

00:27:09.400 Thank you.

00:27:10.400 Thank you.

00:27:11.400 Thank you.

00:27:12.400 Thank you.

00:27:14.400 Thank you.

00:27:15.400 Thank you.

00:27:16.400 Thank you.

00:27:18.400 Thank you.

00:27:19.400 Thank you.

00:27:20.400 Thank you.

00:27:21.400 Thank you.

00:27:22.400 Thank you.

00:27:23.400 Thank you.

00:27:24.400 Thank you.

00:27:25.400 So I don't think were like,

00:27:26.400 Like, even called on.

00:27:27.400 During the Biden White House.

00:27:28.400 I'm standing here,

00:27:29.400 I'm obviously on the lawn.

00:27:30.400 I've seen, none other than Dr. Sebastian Gorka,

00:27:33.540 walk outside the door.

00:27:34.540 Of course, I actually just saw Peter Navarro, our very own Peter Navarro, about like five minutes ago, leave the West Wing.

00:27:41.480 So it's very cool to see all the people that that we know the comm staff has been in and around.

00:27:46.420 But I can't I don't think I can articulate it well enough how dissonant and just weird it is.

00:27:52.980 These people who have this like chip on their shoulder that you can tell they think they're better than all the American people who sent President Trump to the White House.

00:28:00.440 And they're all like colluding to cover it.

00:28:02.680 And we can get into what I think the focus today of the press.

00:28:05.840 Natalie, hang on for one second.

00:28:08.360 Sure. Hang on for one second.

00:28:10.460 We're going to take a short break.

00:28:11.880 We're going to come back to the White House.

00:28:13.760 Natalie Winters, we're going to drill down some of the big topics of the day in a moment.

00:28:20.020 I want to warn you of a huge change that could be coming to our money in our bank accounts.

00:28:25.720 First, think back to 9-11 shortly after the government pushed through the Patriot Act.

00:28:29.720 This gave the government power to spy on innocent Americans by monitoring our phone and email and tracking our movement across the Internet.

00:28:38.580 Now, Jim Rickards, editor of the independent financial newsletter Strategic Intelligence and New York Times bestselling author,

00:28:45.660 is warning about a coming event that could elevate this governmental surveillance to a terrifying new level.

00:28:51.780 In fact, some of the guests I've had on The War Room believe that the government will soon expand their powers to track our every move.

00:28:59.180 If we say the wrong things on social media, donate to the wrong causes, buy firearms, or even vote MAGA,

00:29:06.220 the government may be able to shut us out of our bank accounts.

00:29:10.200 I can't say for sure if this will happen, but it's an interesting and dire warning.

00:29:15.740 Fortunately, Jim Rickards, an American patriot and friend of mine, has made it his mission to educate us on what he believes is coming

00:29:22.480 and how to protect yourself from the possibility of programmable money.

00:29:28.220 Watch Jim's warning video now before it's censored like I've been in the past.

00:30:48.900 That is RickardsWarRoom.com.

00:30:52.600 Promo code BANNON.

00:30:54.360 Natalie Winters.

00:30:55.680 Let's go back.

00:30:56.900 Is the...

00:30:58.460 Folks should realize today was a monumental day.

00:31:02.580 A monumental day.

00:31:03.680 They kind of...

00:31:06.660 You could tell the new sheriff was in town.

00:31:08.800 We've had days of thunder every day in putting out executive actions and executive orders.

00:31:12.620 In fact, I think the ones got their head milling down.

00:31:15.180 Is this stopping the freezing of the funds.

00:31:17.320 A federal judge in Washington, D.C., while we are on break, came out and put a TRO on that.

00:31:25.300 A temporary hold until a Monday hearing.

00:31:27.440 So, the executive action, the memo that came from Russ Votes OMB, and Russ is not there yet.

00:31:35.220 He has not been confirmed and sworn in.

00:31:38.620 By the way, there was an assassination...

00:31:40.220 I'm not saying assassination attempt, but they caught an individual with, I think, a knife and some bomb-making material

00:31:47.820 that was looking for our own Scott Besson after he was sworn in.

00:31:51.620 Also, Pete Hexeth and Speaker Johnson.

00:31:55.020 They got him in the Capitol.

00:31:56.960 Sounded like the guy was a little deranged, but they took him away.

00:32:02.240 Russ is going to be confirmed and sworn in shortly.

00:32:06.460 But OMB, the acting director, put out a memo last night.

00:32:10.100 It said, freeze all money.

00:32:11.920 This is an addition to freezing all foreign aid.

00:32:15.660 President Trump is saying all engines stop except for Social Security and Medicare.

00:32:20.500 He wants to see, quite frankly, I think Elon and the Doge guys, I think this is a joint project to say,

00:32:25.500 what's really the funds flow here?

00:32:26.980 How does cash flow in and out of the system?

00:32:29.320 Where is the money going?

00:32:30.580 We know where it comes from, the taxpayers, the Treasury, and the Fed.

00:32:34.080 We're not sure where it actually goes.

00:32:36.000 And I think that's why the left and the people who depend upon big government, the administrative state, are freaking out.

00:32:42.380 So, before we talk about that, Natalie, because I know you got some reporting on it.

00:32:45.460 I want to go back to the room.

00:32:46.660 Are they snotty?

00:32:50.280 Are they taken back that all of a sudden they see Breitbart News, War Room, Real America's Voice, One American News, Newsmax,

00:32:59.740 you know, the forces of the right, the podcasters, the streaming services, the influencers, people that were really reporting on it.

00:33:07.100 As Caroline laid it out, if you're here and you can work and you can report it fairly, we'll take a hard look at putting you in the room.

00:33:14.480 And we're going to take the 400 people they canceled and we're going to get their credentials back if they deserve it.

00:33:19.800 Is that what has mainstream media?

00:33:21.760 Their audiences are collapsing.

00:33:23.060 Is it their prestige and influence that they're most concerned about now and really, you know, uppity when it comes to their dealings with people like you?

00:33:33.340 Totally. And, you know, you say a new sheriff in town, not just here in Washington, D.C., but I think it's reflected globally, too.

00:33:42.440 And that was one of the other patterns that I really noticed, not just through seeing it with my own eyes,

00:33:47.580 but in asking other, you know, reporters who've been here longer, that the expansion of foreign press, who's really interested in covering the Trump White House, has really ballooned and expanded.

00:33:59.160 So I think there's a global appetite to cover President Trump.

00:34:02.480 But to this sort of weird dynamic that you're talking about, I mean, I would equate it to, I think, the sort of 2016 upset victory in terms of this just, I think, anger.

00:34:13.440 Maybe you call it envy because of the dropping show numbers and audience numbers.

00:34:18.140 I think War Room What probably has an audience that's larger than the top four or five mainstream media shows combined.

00:34:25.460 And I'm just talking about viewers, not even engaged activist type viewers.

00:34:30.160 But I think there's sort of an element of really, I think, soul searching.

00:34:35.140 What do I mean by that?

00:34:36.380 When they sit there and think that they're superior because, you know, they have their reserved seat in the briefing room.

00:34:42.060 You know, OK, you get your pat on the back for having that.

00:34:45.440 It's, you know, where do you derive that sense of superiority from?

00:34:49.580 It's certainly not from audience size or impact because you failed in both 2016, 2020 and 2024 at having any effect and swaying and duping the American people continually.

00:35:01.180 So I think it's sort of is forcing them to reckon with the internal question of what is the legacy, what is the enduring power of the mainstream media?

00:35:10.960 And frankly, there is none.

00:35:12.700 And Steve, I think to answer that question more directly, right, I think it goes back to the critique that we not only saw Alex Wagner really get into on MSNBC, the idea of the left becoming or the establishment, I think, more acutely becoming the defenders of the institutions.

00:35:29.100 I think the mainstream media is very similarly one of those institutions that they're being forced to defend.

00:35:34.780 And obviously, you saw what was it just two days ago, the CIA coming out saying that, yeah, COVID came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

00:35:42.280 And that was one of those, I think, bread and butter stories that got not just this show deplatformed and censored, our audience deplatformed and censored, but really us, I think, tarred and feathered, mocked and ridiculed both virtually, but even, you know, in person for being such a wrong, you know, out there conspiracy theorists.

00:36:00.960 And I think that we've seen, again, I guess it's just more confirmation that this show's been right from the get-go, but that we really have been right.

00:36:08.820 And I think that it sort of forces the uncomfortable question, you know, why are these media outlets continuing to lie at the behest and to cover for the Chinese Communist Party?

00:36:17.780 And that's because these people, though, yes, they are, of course, bought off and paid for by the Chinese Communist Party, I think more acutely, they're sort of the defenders of the institution that is the economic and global world order, which rests upon the original sin being the Chinese Communist Party and their kind of slave labor economic matrix existing. 0.93

00:36:37.060 Because without that, you don't really have the sort of world economic forum, you know, new world order, I think, slave economy that they so desperately want. 0.52

00:36:45.320 But I think they are sort of forced to reckon with what their role is in this entire kind of, dare I use the word, conspiracy on my first day on the White House lawn.

00:36:55.040 But I think that is why there's such kind of gravitas and deep, I think, self-questioning going on when they see people like War Room, like OAN, like Brian Glenn, like myself in there.

00:37:07.060 Because it really is an existential threat. And I don't use that in the climate change way.

00:37:11.480 I use that in the true definitional sense of the word to their entire power model and raison d'etre, which is lying to the American people to cover for a regime in the form of Joe Biden,

00:37:22.860 who doesn't even need to be a living, breathing human for four years because this city, this swamp can just sort of occur on, you know, the Death Star and just kind of a testing pattern because they don't need a strong man.

00:37:35.380 But President Trump is the antithesis of that and represents someone who I think is so different.

00:37:40.100 And I think you see that with these formidable people like Peter Navarro, like Caroline Levitt, who are actual beings and humans and entities and not these just, you know, NPC kind of grifter drifter types who don't even need to hold press briefings because they don't even know what's going on.

00:37:54.940 So I think you're seeing sort of the, shall we say, beginning of the end, though it's a rather hasty end because the viewership is, what, like 12,000?

00:38:03.300 I think we do that on just one streaming platform on a weekend.

00:38:06.360 But that's sort of the sense that I get from being up close and personal to people who I'd frankly rather not have to be, but I'm happy to do it.

00:38:17.180 You said, you know, today when we talked about coming on, you said, hey, the outrage of the day, they're all upset about USDA and the stopping of the foreign, you know, foreign policy money going to these different things.

00:38:27.680 A judge just ruled, Judge Ali Khan in D.C., the most radical court, federal court in the land, just put a TRO on OMB's memo last night to everybody that said,

00:38:41.240 if less it's Social Security and Medicare, full stop.

00:38:44.840 We want all payments, all transferring payments.

00:38:46.840 We just want everybody to freeze in place until we get our arms around this.

00:38:50.380 That's breaking news here from a couple of minutes ago.

00:38:53.280 But up until then, it was foreign policy.

00:38:54.960 What has been the reaction of the media to that today?

00:39:00.860 Sure, I saw Mark Elias' organization was just taking a huge victory lap over that decision.

00:39:06.220 But I would say that that was sort of the prevailing and predominant questioning angle that I saw both at the press briefing today and also just about an hour ago.

00:39:15.120 Stephen Miller did a little bit of a press gaggle outside the West Wing.

00:39:19.120 Basically, every question was about the freeze on foreign aid, maybe scattering a few about the mass deportations, but it all sort of comes back to the thing itself.

00:39:28.880 And, you know, I opened this segment by talking about how being in there amidst a bunch of people who take themselves seriously, though their job is to lie to the American people.

00:39:36.320 It's sort of the ultimate gaslight.

00:39:38.440 And I think that the fact that this same press corps, who covered up the worst invasion of this country in history, the worst inflation, the worst trade deals, an administration that truly, truly didn't just put America last but put America first never,

00:39:53.040 that they are now suddenly all up in arms.

00:39:56.260 The only question they can ask is, well, is this freeze on foreign aid going to affect Americans?

00:40:01.620 Is this going to affect, you know, these poor single mother, right? 1.00

00:40:05.040 They always create like the worst scenario possible.

00:40:08.000 And I just wanted to turn to them and say, where have you guys been for the last four years?

00:40:13.200 I'm so glad that you guys now care about the American people and American citizens' emphasis on citizen.

00:40:19.720 But for the last four years, these people never cared to ask a question about, I don't know, if any of the policies or proposals or money coming out,

00:40:26.820 the horrible Biden regime ever did anything to put the American people first.

00:40:30.920 So I think it sort of speaks to how they're using every single policy, every single news directive that comes out as a way to sort of weaponize against whoever may be at the sticks,

00:40:40.260 whoever's talking, whether it's Caroline Leavitt or President Trump.

00:40:43.260 But it was just such a funny moment where all these press corps people are standing there saying,

00:40:48.160 well, what are you going to do for the American citizens?

00:40:50.580 But in the same breath, why are you deporting criminal illegal aliens? 1.00

00:40:53.920 I don't know if they're too dumb or they just hate this country to notice what's going on. 0.98

00:40:57.840 But I will say one bright spot, like I said, there was a lot of foreign press here, too. 0.98

00:41:02.740 I believe it was someone from a European Union country asked if Europe should be adopting a lot of President Trump's border.

00:41:10.820 Policies, proposals, particularly when it comes to mass deportations.

00:41:14.500 Stephen Miller said with a resounding, yes, they absolutely should.

00:41:18.400 And I think the journalists seem to to concur.

00:41:21.260 But, yeah, it's really it's such a gaslight to be around these people who now, I guess,

00:41:26.060 because President Trump is maybe trying to strip, rightfully so, some federal grant money.

00:41:31.640 Now they're apparently all for federal grants for the American people.

00:41:35.620 I didn't know that.

00:41:37.080 That's apparently a newfound sentiment among the Washington, D.C. elite press class.

00:41:43.640 Natalie, social media, you'll be back on it tomorrow.

00:41:46.680 There's all kind of breaking news overnight.

00:41:48.340 We're actually having an event.

00:41:50.180 It's just serendipity for Matt Boyle,

00:41:52.540 who returns as the national political editor from Florida to Washington, D.C., for Breitbart.

00:41:58.320 We're having an event with a lot of media folks tonight and a lot of war room posse.

00:42:02.100 Where can people get you on social media, Natalie, until tomorrow?

00:42:07.280 Natalie G. Winters on all platforms and the White House until Joe Biden or whoever tries to take my creds away.

00:42:14.320 Thank you so much for having me, Steve.

00:42:16.100 And thank you to the war room posse for giving me this opportunity.

00:42:20.440 Thanks, Natalie.

00:42:21.180 Great job.

00:42:22.520 Fantastic job.

00:42:25.520 Historic day.

00:42:26.220 Think about it.

00:42:28.080 And you've seen, I think what's so great is you've seen these young people.

00:42:33.280 If you notice, Ball's been on the show for the last couple of years.

00:42:35.900 He's been over at Breitbart forever.

00:42:37.520 He started very young, right out of American University.

00:42:40.820 I think he was in his early 20s when he was a reporter at the Daily Caller.

00:42:44.160 And then we got him over to Breitbart.

00:42:45.620 Then we made him political editor.

00:42:47.580 You've seen, you've seen, so you've seen Matt, you've seen Caroline Leavitt.

00:42:51.220 And remember at the time she was barely, I think, eligible age-wise to even run for Congress.

00:42:56.640 Remember that great, that first attempt when she did the, when the primary was just absolutely intense.

00:43:03.620 And she was so good on her feet.

00:43:04.900 And then she went back and got the job in the campaign, did a super job. 1.00

00:43:08.620 And now she's the youngest press secretary in the history of the White House.

00:43:12.300 It's just amazing.

00:43:12.880 Of course, our own Natalie Winters.

00:43:14.960 You've seen, and Natalie started here as an intern, I think at 18 years old.

00:43:18.440 Brian Glenn was at right-side broadcasting for years, doing all the rallies in 21, well, 20 and 21, but 21, 22, when it was, looked pretty grim for President Trump.

00:43:28.780 Just amazing.

00:43:29.980 All of them at the White House now.

00:43:33.080 Just.

00:43:33.440 Do you ever think, how can I work this hard and still be in debt?

00:43:38.080 The piles of overdue bills, the threatening phone calls, and never having money to do anything.

00:43:42.900 It just won't stop.

00:43:45.060 You're trapped in debt.

00:43:45.940 Done with debt is the way out.

00:43:48.500 They've developed aggressive new strategies to end your debt permanently.

00:43:53.900 Done with debt stands between you and harassing bill collectors.

00:43:57.100 They tirelessly negotiate with your creditors to lower or even forgive what you owe.

00:44:03.060 And they do it all without bankruptcy or new additional loans.

00:44:07.580 As one client raved, quote, our phone call saved us a fortune.

00:44:12.040 I wish we did this long ago, end quote.

00:44:15.960 Bottom line, done with debt has unique strategies to get you out of debt faster and put more money in your pocket every month.

00:44:24.300 But you need to hurry because some debt solutions are time sensitive and you don't want to miss out.

00:44:48.720 Do it today.

00:44:49.740 Action, action, action.

00:44:51.060 Many Americans do not want to do.

00:44:54.620 So how do you, how does President Trump make sure that the effort to deport people who are not in this country legally doesn't end up hurting Americans who want safe borders?

00:45:07.280 Absolutely.

00:45:08.200 But also don't want to see even more higher prices in groceries.

00:45:13.140 Well, I mean, I'm sure it's not your position, Jake.

00:45:16.300 You're just asking the question that we should supply America's food with exploitative illegal alien labor. 0.99

00:45:23.240 I obviously don't think that's what you're implying.

00:45:25.540 Only 1% of alien workers in the entire country work in agriculture.

00:45:30.380 The top destination for illegal aliens are large cities like New York, like Los Angeles, and small industrial towns, of course, all across the heartland, as we've seen with the Biden flights.

00:45:42.480 None of those illegal aliens are doing farm work. 0.98

00:45:46.020 Those 30,000 illegal aliens that Joe Biden dumped into Springfield.

00:45:48.780 Yeah, I'm talking about the ones that are.

00:45:49.880 No, no, no, but I'm explaining this.

00:45:51.900 It's important to understand.

00:45:52.780 No, you're kind of changing this subject.

00:45:54.300 I mean, I'm talking about the ones that are.

00:45:55.440 I will, I will go, I will, give me 30 minutes.

00:45:57.640 I'll go as deep as you want to say.

00:45:58.400 I don't, we don't have 30 minutes.

00:45:59.200 I'm talking to you and your audience.

00:46:00.120 I don't want to have a 30.

00:46:00.800 I'm talking about the ones that could, that work in the agriculture industry.

00:46:04.160 I'm explaining to you and your audience.

00:46:04.880 You can come back and we can talk about the ones in the cities, I swear.

00:46:07.680 I'll do the, I'll do the whole answer.

00:46:09.100 The illegal aliens that Joe Biden brought into our country are not full stop doing farm work.

00:46:14.700 They are not.

00:46:15.880 The illegal aliens he brought in from Venezuela, from Haiti, from Nicaragua, they are not doing 0.99

00:46:21.480 farm work.

00:46:22.000 They are in our cities collecting welfare.

00:46:23.700 As for the farmers, there is a guest worker program that President Trump supports.

00:46:28.520 Over time as well, we will transition into automation.

00:46:31.440 So we'll never have to have this conversation ever again.

00:46:34.020 But there's no universe in which this nation is going to allow the previous president to

00:46:40.560 flood our nation with millions and millions of illegal aliens who just get to stay here. 1.00

00:46:44.200 And we are especially not going to allow a subset of those illegal aliens to rape and 1.00

00:46:48.680 murder our citizens. 0.74

00:46:49.780 So we are going to unapologetically enforce our immigration laws.

00:46:53.160 And as I'm sure you will celebrate, we are going to unleash the power and might of the

00:46:56.740 U.S. government to eradicate the presence of transnational threats on our soil.

00:47:00.280 Oh, my God, that's Stephen Miller.

00:47:05.400 That's Pete Miller right there.

00:47:08.440 Hey, he may not have a good bedside manner, but he can deliver.

00:47:11.540 Jake Tapper blown out and everything he said.

00:47:14.020 When Miller talks, they're all facts.

00:47:17.080 Got Steve Cortez.

00:47:18.120 Steve Cortez is doing a special documentary down on something he's talked about a long

00:47:23.320 time, taking these Hispanic counties with Hispanic citizens and flipping them to MAGA. 0.61

00:47:27.520 But, Cortez, I've got to ask you for your response right there.

00:47:31.160 We've wanted someone like Stephen Miller to go in and fighting into this mainstream media

00:47:37.080 when they ask these cheap shot questions all the time over and over again.

00:47:40.560 He comes back with facts and they don't want to hear it.

00:47:42.340 Jake Tapper went to get there as quickly as possible.

00:47:45.820 Your thoughts on Stephen Miller, sir?

00:47:48.840 Well, that was a magnificent performance using facts and using the skills to defend the American

00:47:55.040 people because he prioritizes the interests of regular Americans, the hardworking, salt

00:48:01.160 of the earth citizens of this country who have been so abused by the globalists and by

00:48:05.500 their spokespeople like Jake Tapper.

00:48:08.160 So I'm here in Star County on the U.S.-Mexico border.

00:48:11.460 I'm just yards away right now from the Rio Grande River.

00:48:14.420 This is the most Hispanic county in America, Steve.

00:48:17.200 It's 97 percent Hispanic.

00:48:19.180 It's also a gritty, working-class place.

00:48:22.560 It used to be solidly Democratic.

00:48:24.980 In 100 years, they hadn't voted for a Republican for president.

00:48:28.020 They just did.

00:48:29.080 And Donald Trump didn't just win.

00:48:30.600 He won it walking away.

00:48:32.100 It was a walk-off home run.

00:48:33.680 He won it by 16 percent.

00:48:35.240 And to give you the numbers, Steve, because I know in the war room you like data and evidence

00:48:38.160 what's happened here in just over eight years.

00:48:40.640 In 2016, President Trump lost Star County to Hillary Clinton by 60 percent.

00:48:45.540 He was walloped here.

00:48:46.420 However, because of how he governed and how he protected the border and how he prioritized

00:48:51.000 the interests of working-class Americans, he nearly won this place in 2020.

00:48:55.380 He only lost it by 5 percent.

00:48:56.940 Massive performance.

00:48:58.380 He then won it by 16 percent this time around and more gains from there to come.

00:49:03.240 By the way, it's not unique to Star County.

00:49:04.940 I think this is the most incredible example.

00:49:07.020 But if you look along the entire border, almost all of which was solidly Democratic previously,

00:49:11.580 it's now almost all red Republican because of the transformation of the Republican Party

00:49:17.220 into a workers-first, America-first movement.

00:49:22.140 You're down there to make a doc.

00:49:23.700 You're making these documentaries.

00:49:24.940 You've got this American worker movement that you're heading.

00:49:28.140 What do people, when you're talking to them down there in Star County, these working-class 1.00

00:49:31.840 Hispanics in this kind of hard-bitten county, what are they telling you? 1.00

00:49:35.100 Why do they back Trump?

00:49:36.220 Why have they flipped so hard from Democrat to MAGA?

00:49:39.760 Well, the first thing is the economy.

00:49:41.940 And I think that's true for most Americans, right?

00:49:43.420 But particularly for working-class people because this inflation has been so punishing

00:49:47.120 to working-class folks.

00:49:48.500 And almost all Hispanics, statistically, are working-class Americans.

00:49:53.140 The inflation has just been ravaging to them.

00:49:55.360 Also, unique to Hispanics, they're the most entrepreneurial demographic in America.

00:49:59.680 Well, small business entrepreneurs were disproportionately harmed by the policies of Joe Biden,

00:50:04.660 and the globalist policies, the inflationary policies that were great for mega-international

00:50:10.460 conglomerates, but terrible for small business.

00:50:12.480 So that's the first part.

00:50:13.740 The second part, of course, here is at the border.

00:50:15.560 They see firsthand the ravages of an open border, of awful lack of border enforcement.

00:50:21.520 They see the violence and the depredation here at the border.

00:50:25.000 And then the third aspect, though, and this is fascinating, and I've really learned this

00:50:27.760 in talking to the locals, is culture.

00:50:29.580 These are culturally conservative people.

00:50:32.460 These are people here who believe, for example, that there are two sexes.

00:50:36.780 They believe there shouldn't be boys in girls' sports.

00:50:39.080 They believe that mutilating the private parts of a child is an abomination, even if it's

00:50:44.020 done in a hospital under the guise of health care.

00:50:46.840 So these folks, many of whom consider themselves to be Democrats, have come to realize, thankfully,

00:50:51.960 that the radicalized, extremist Democrat Party of the 2020s is no political home for them.

00:50:57.740 So on all three of those issues, on inflation, on immigration, and on culture, Hispanics all

00:51:04.000 over this country continue to rally to our cause as long as we keep it about populist

00:51:09.180 nationalist economics combined with cultural conservatism.

00:51:14.740 Steve, where do people get these docs you're putting together?

00:51:17.220 Where do they get all the content you're putting up at your worker site?

00:51:20.000 So the best place to find me, the League of American Workers is amworkers.com.

00:51:27.140 But the best place to follow most of my content is on the Twitter, the X.

00:51:30.900 I'm at Cortez Steve, Cortez with an S.

00:51:33.760 This specific documentary will be out in just a few weeks.

00:51:36.160 We turn them out pretty quickly.

00:51:38.000 So I'll encourage everybody to please keep an eye out for this one.

00:51:40.380 It's going to be powerful.

00:51:41.200 We talked to a lot of really persuasive, amazing American patriots here in Stark County today.

00:51:46.400 And we produced, I think, or had the beginnings of producing a fantastic piece of information

00:51:51.580 combined with some art.

00:51:54.680 I think we're trying to track you down tomorrow.

00:51:56.320 I want to find out about what they think about the military to the border, how secure they

00:52:00.200 feel right now.

00:52:01.000 Steve Cortez, Stark County.

00:52:03.280 The first guy to target Stark County was Steve Cortez.

00:52:05.780 He says, hey, I think we can win this one.

00:52:08.880 16-point win for President Trump.

00:52:10.900 A county that is 97% Hispanic, working class, 97% Hispanic, trumped the victor by 16%.

00:52:21.160 That, ladies and gentlemen, is a 1932-type tectonic plate shift.

00:52:27.940 We're going to take a short commercial break, talk about signing that President Trump just

00:52:30.780 signed an executive order about transgenders.

00:52:34.520 Terry Schilling is going to join us.

00:52:35.780 We've got Frank Gaffney, John Guandola on this situation in the Middle East.

00:52:40.280 We're going to break it down all for you.

00:52:41.540 Joe Allen and Michael Walsh, a new book out.

00:52:47.380 Short, short break.

00:52:48.940 Back in a moment.

00:52:52.040 You owe back taxes, right?

00:52:54.560 Here's the question.

00:52:55.960 Why is the IRS targeting you and not millionaires who owe a fortune compared to you?

00:53:01.440 Rich people have tax attorneys.

00:53:03.380 You probably don't.

00:53:04.220 Tax Network USA are patriots you want on your side to solve your IRS tax problems quickly

00:53:11.660 and painlessly.

00:53:13.440 Their attorneys, strategists, and expert negotiators employ brilliant strategies designed to solve

00:53:19.940 your IRS problem quickly in your favor.

00:53:24.100 They have a preferred direct line to the IRS.
