Bannon's War Room - Episode 4285： Live From CPAC Days Of Retribution

00:00:00.000 This Kash Patel is right on the cusp of becoming the next director of the FBI with the Senate

00:00:05.480 holding its confirmation vote for that controversial nominee.

00:00:08.280 In fact, right now, Republicans have unsurprisingly rallied around Patel's emphasis on fighting

00:00:14.040 crime with the Senate Judiciary Chair, rather, calling him the right man at the right time.

00:00:20.000 But Democrats have warned he is unfit for the position, raising concerns that he's going

00:00:24.500 to use the agency to target the president's political enemies.

00:00:28.120 Well, I wouldn't say it's unusual, but he makes, I think, a very astute point.

00:00:32.120 If the idea is that you want to make the FBI apolitical, it's hard to pick a more political

00:00:37.600 person to take the job, someone who has, as you noted, been a diehard champion of Donald

00:00:44.760 Trump for a long time.

00:00:46.760 And even going back before, you know, he was sort of aligned on the outside with Donald

00:00:51.680 Trump.

00:00:52.460 Look, it's not surprising that Republican senators are not persuaded by this, though.

00:00:57.500 And I think it's for an important reason.

00:00:59.180 The things that Kash Patel has said, and I think truly believes, that there is a deep

00:01:05.860 state that was out to get Donald Trump.

00:01:08.640 And January 6th was all about, you know, that that was a political, you know, the election

00:01:15.500 was stolen from him.

00:01:16.300 And this was all politics.

00:01:17.600 Those are all standard, fair things that Republican senators are forced to say now when they go back

00:01:23.340 to their states and they're talking to their constituents.

00:01:25.460 Now, they'll say with a bit of a wink and a nod, and yeah, yeah, the deep state.

00:01:29.560 Kash Patel truly believes it.

00:01:30.880 But the point is, you can't be against Kash Patel for believing in a deep state if you

00:01:35.720 also have been talking about the fact that there's a deep state in the federal government.

00:01:39.660 So none of the things that he has said publicly that I think get a lot of people upset are all

00:01:44.560 that different than what most Republican senators basically say anytime they're back home in their

00:01:49.540 states.

00:01:51.040 And you mentioned the deep state, and I have a quote.

00:01:53.540 This is something that he said on a podcast.

00:01:55.880 He said, on day one, I would shut down the FBI Hoover building and reopen it the next day

00:02:01.200 as a museum of the deep state.

00:02:04.260 So given all of this, the tenor of everything, Frank, now that it is edging toward reality,

00:02:09.780 what could a Kash Patel-led FBI look like?

00:02:14.340 Yeah, that's the big question.

00:02:15.640 How bad is it going to get?

00:02:16.560 Because it's clear to everyone that there will be major changes and reforms at the FBI.

00:02:22.020 The only question is, how bad is it going to get?

00:02:24.960 Everybody's all about reforming.

00:02:26.580 I'm about reforming huge bureaucracies and pivoting and changing and reassessing.

00:02:33.760 That's characterized my 25 years at the FBI.

00:02:36.620 The biggest strategic change, of course, was after the terror attacks of 9-11, when the

00:02:41.220 FBI fully dived into the intelligence community and became an agency that's beyond investigation,

00:02:47.520 but rather predicting bad things before they happen.

00:02:50.460 And this concerns me, because, look, there's every indication so far, based on what Pam

00:02:54.660 Bondi has done and acting DAG Emil Bove has done, demanding the list of agents who worked

00:03:02.160 to January 6th, dropping corruption cases like Eric Adams that, you know, now has gone to

00:03:08.420 court because Trump wants them dropped.

00:03:10.800 And, of course, we understand Patel will work for Bondi and Bove, and so if he's going to

00:03:18.840 keep his job and remain loyal to Trump, he's going to have to fall into line and continue

00:03:23.900 to close down cases that Trump doesn't like and open cases that Trump wants open.

00:03:29.180 We've already seen Bondi destroy, dismantle the foreign influence task force at the FBI that

00:03:35.820 keeps foreign adversaries out of our elections.

00:03:38.620 That's gone.

00:03:39.640 So the question is, what is the FBI not going to work anymore?

00:03:45.180 It's not about—I know he wants to work violent crime.

00:03:47.920 He's already said FBI agents are cops.

00:03:50.100 They should be working rapes and murders. 0.98

00:03:51.800 By the way, those are not federal—those aren't federal violations.

00:03:54.460 The question is what they're not going to work, and that's what bothers me.

00:03:58.040 And I just want to have our director, if we can, put up that count, the tally right there,

00:04:02.940 as we're trying to get to the very end.

00:04:04.680 We're very close, everybody.

00:04:05.780 Okay, to the vote, we're going to stay watching it.

00:04:11.940 He has been confirmed.

00:04:13.960 This has just happened, everyone.

00:04:16.300 It is not a surprise.

00:04:17.860 We figured this would happen.

00:04:19.160 It would have taken a number of Republicans to flip away from the party and not vote on

00:04:25.520 a partisan level, as we had expected them to do.

00:04:28.400 We did get that from Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins, but it would seem every other Republican

00:04:33.860 has voted for Kash Patel, and every Democrat has voted against him with the final tally there,

00:04:40.720 51 to 49.

00:04:43.100 So there you have it.

00:04:44.200 It is a done deal, and there will be consequences of this as far as the Democrats are concerned,

00:04:50.200 and Republicans will be happy that they are continuing with President Trump's agenda in

00:04:56.080 confirmation of his appointees, both to cabinet and high-level positions in the government.

00:05:00.600 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.

00:05:08.420 Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.

00:05:13.720 I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.

00:05:17.960 The people have had a belly full of it.

00:05:19.920 I know you don't like hearing that.

00:05:21.320 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.

00:05:24.000 It's going to happen.

00:05:25.040 And where do people like that go to share the big line?

00:05:28.660 MAGA Media.

00:05:30.000 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

00:05:35.440 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

00:05:39.220 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

00:05:45.520 War Room.

00:05:46.420 Here's your host, Stephen K. Band.

00:05:48.740 All right, we're live in the War Room at CPAC.

00:05:57.880 Another great day.

00:05:59.160 Yesterday was stellar.

00:06:00.360 Today is even better.

00:06:01.460 We got breaking news.

00:06:03.160 We got Ben Burkwam in the house.

00:06:05.080 Ben, Mike Davis.

00:06:07.440 Great host, Sobik.

00:06:10.180 Sobik, why don't you lead off with the headline of the day?

00:06:12.760 The headline of the day is this, is the sound that you heard was every liberal elite's head exploding right here up the river.

00:06:23.640 And the other spike that we hear is that all, you go to Google right now, in Washington, D.C., the search for defense lawyer just spiked up to 100 percent.

00:06:37.620 Because Kash Patel was just confirmed as your ninth director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

00:06:43.820 Say it again.

00:06:44.540 Amen.

00:06:45.420 Can we get an amen out there?

00:06:47.100 Right.

00:06:47.440 Has been appointed.

00:06:48.660 What's the name of his book?

00:06:50.520 Government Gangsters.

00:06:52.420 Everybody ought to read it.

00:06:53.140 It's the playbook.

00:06:53.740 That's the playbook.

00:06:54.780 So, Brett, I was joking before.

00:06:57.060 I said, look at the career trajectory, right?

00:06:59.660 So he goes from, he's a defense lawyer.

00:07:02.480 He then becomes a federal defense lawyer.

00:07:04.800 He becomes a U.S. attorney.

00:07:07.780 And then he gets hired by HIPSE.

00:07:10.100 So he's on the HIPSE committee under Nunez.

00:07:12.280 He uncovers Russiagate.

00:07:13.860 Then he goes to National Security Council, chief of staff to the Department of Defense.

00:07:18.220 Then a brief stint as a war room contributor.

00:07:22.820 And then he leveraged the war room to bounce back.

00:07:27.200 Or I don't know if it's an upgrade or a downgrade from the war room to the FBI director.

00:07:32.260 Perfectly logical.

00:07:33.280 Only in America, folks.

00:07:33.900 Perfectly logical.

00:07:34.640 Only in America.

00:07:35.900 You got it.

00:07:36.580 Way to go.

00:07:37.280 Good setup.

00:07:37.980 Mike Davis, what's that mean?

00:07:39.440 FBI, what's at stake here?

00:07:41.100 Well, I'll tell you this.

00:07:42.280 When President Trump nominated Kash Patel, the very smart people in Washington said his nomination

00:07:48.900 was dead on arrival.

00:07:50.300 Yeah, way to go.

00:07:50.800 And then the war room posse went to the article three projects action page and lit up the Senate.

00:07:59.080 And we gave the Senate an attitude adjustment.

00:08:02.640 And he just got confirmed today and he's going to go in there and bring bold, serious reforms to the FBI after it was politicized and weaponized to go after Trump.

00:08:16.420 His top aides like Bannon, who went to the clink, Peter Navarro, who went to the clink, parents, Christians. 0.98

00:08:22.280 There is a new sheriff in town today and his name is Kash Patel.

00:08:26.620 Yeah, Mike, our article three project, Mike Davis, go look him up.

00:08:31.140 Give us non-lawyers a sense for the scale and scope of his duties, responsibilities as head of the FBI.

00:08:39.060 What all does that entail?

00:08:40.100 It's a major job.

00:08:41.360 He's in charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

00:08:44.620 So he is going to take the lead on everything from terrorism to violent street crimes to migrant crimes. 0.97

00:08:52.940 And what we need to do is refocus the FBI from its political focus on those mean grandmas who trespassed on January 6th and took selfies. 0.99

00:09:05.640 And we're going to focus the FBI on real crimes in real America that affect real Americans, like vicious migrant gangs, Chendagua migrant gangs who are terrorizing Americans.

00:09:19.020 We're going to we're going to focus on gun crimes. 0.97

00:09:22.680 We're going to focus on making America safe again instead of going after Trump supporters on January 6th.

00:09:30.240 Amen.

00:09:31.380 Way to go, Mike.

00:09:32.200 Mike, segue is perfect to the border with Ben Burkwamp.

00:09:37.020 Ben, what are the implications of this FBI slot, USAID slot, CIA slot?

00:09:43.160 Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.

00:09:44.860 What's it mean for you and your world?

00:09:45.740 Well, first off, what a difference a year makes from last time we were in CPAC to today, standing here today.

00:09:51.380 Incredible.

00:09:52.540 But you look at that.

00:09:53.660 I just want to touch on real quick what Mike was talking about.

00:09:55.820 We just had Joe Biggs on with Jack Posobiec on his show and you talk about what they did, what the FBI did in the last four years.

00:10:03.100 They took FBI agents off of active terror investigations, jihadist terror investigations to investigate American citizens, grandmas and grandpas, guys that were simply there walking around.

00:10:14.820 My friend Coy Griffin, who was there praying at the Capitol.

00:10:17.640 They spent our tax dollars, our time going after J-6ers and on day one, President Trump releases those guys. 1.00

00:10:25.080 And now we have an FBI director.

00:10:27.160 Shout out to all the guys here.

00:10:28.160 I know we got a lot of J-6ers here. 1.00

00:10:29.940 Shout out to these guys.

00:10:30.980 Now we have an FBI director who's actually going to put the rule of law first again.

00:10:35.340 Not put himself first, not put President Trump first, but the rule of law first, which is how it should be.

00:10:40.540 We're not going after our political enemies.

00:10:42.200 We're going after the traitors to this country that committed crimes against this nation, and we're going to hold them accountable.

00:10:48.800 It's very simple.

00:10:49.940 And on the border, look, what we've got started is the beginning.

00:10:54.520 What Tom Homan, we've covered this for four years.

00:10:57.800 The left weaponized our asylum process to invite an invasion, the Trojan horse invasion into our country.

00:11:04.880 They spent four years, brought 15 million illegals in.

00:11:07.540 We covered that from start to finish.

00:11:09.400 It's part of the reason why President Trump won, part of many reasons why President Trump won.

00:11:14.000 Now we have the opportunity to turn it around.

00:11:16.640 Tom Homan's doing that.

00:11:17.660 We're embedding with ICE.

00:11:18.720 We're embedding with Border Patrol.

00:11:20.340 ICE is going after them.

00:11:21.600 But when you look at the task that's in front of them, the amount of money it's going to cost, the manpower it's going to take, it is enormous.

00:11:29.000 And so this is the beginning of it.

00:11:30.800 But to me, the bigger side of that, what has to happen, two things.

00:11:34.360 We have to defund, we've talked about this, defund the NGOs, defund all these organizations, the Global Compact of Migration, get out of the UNHCR, all of these things.

00:11:43.140 And we have to use now the Justice Department under Kash Patel to go after the NGOs and all of these organizations that were working with the cartels to divide and undermine our country from within.

00:11:54.080 And that has to happen, and I believe we're actually going to start seeing some of that.

00:11:57.300 Just give us a brief overview of how the FBI is supposed to work with Department of Homeland Security and the other major institutions that should have been doing their work on the border.

00:12:08.580 What's their role?

00:12:09.460 It's directly what we've seen the last three weeks, four weeks now.

00:12:12.640 God bless it.

00:12:13.300 It's one month today.

00:12:15.400 They're working directly with them.

00:12:17.280 FBI has intel on counterterrorist information.

00:12:19.700 They have intel on Tren de Aragua, you mentioned, on MS-13, on all of these now-labeled terrorist organizations.

00:12:27.160 They have all this information.

00:12:28.660 Now they're going to share that information with Department of Homeland Security, with ICE, with Border Patrol, with all these organizations, so that these organizations can work together.

00:12:36.660 The DEA, we are seeing that happen in real time.

00:12:39.840 All of these organizations that were weaponized against the American people are now weaponized against the bad guys in our country.

00:12:45.880 It's what this country was supposed to do.

00:12:48.400 It's how we're supposed to operate.

00:12:49.700 Mike, give us a little more on that.

00:12:51.460 All the DOJ, FBI, Department of Homeland Security, DNI, all the security apparatus are all hitting on all cylinders right now.

00:13:02.820 The rule of law is going to be in play.

00:13:05.100 What's it going to look like in a year from now?

00:13:06.900 What it's going to look like is President Trump is refocusing our intel agencies and federal law enforcement on our southern border to protect our border from this invasion, this intentional invasion by Biden and his DHS and these outside NGOs.

00:13:25.900 They intentionally led this mass invasion of 15 million unvetted and unvettable people from these dangerous places, these third world hell holes. 1.00

00:13:37.200 And we are in a very dangerous place as a country because of this.

00:13:42.020 Ben's been covering this for four years.

00:13:44.340 And we are – President Trump is going to fix this.

00:13:47.160 And he's going to focus federal law enforcement on real crimes instead of political enemies.

00:13:52.640 You know, Davis, they were saying – somebody's coming at me.

00:13:57.300 They were complaining and saying, well, how could President Trump have – say that Ukraine could hold elections when they're being invaded?

00:14:02.920 I said, well, we just did last year.

00:14:04.860 Right.

00:14:05.460 That's right.

00:14:06.240 How about United States 2024 with our invasion?

00:14:09.620 You can't say that.

00:14:11.220 I said, no, watch the war room.

00:14:12.920 Watch Ben Burkwam.

00:14:13.920 He'll tell you exactly what you're going on.

00:14:14.680 Jack's been watching X for us.

00:14:17.300 We also had earlier break in the news, Steve Bannon standing up in front of a huge video this morning of Senator Mitch McConnell.

00:14:24.880 What are you seeing on X?

00:14:25.980 What's the reaction to the Kentucky Senate?

00:14:27.920 Well, what's interesting with Mitch, he drops out, but then announces – I think it was expected, but also he voted for cash.

00:14:35.140 So I think it's an interesting day.

00:14:37.640 It's an interesting day for old Mitch McConnell.

00:14:39.620 Right.

00:14:39.840 And then the lineup at CPAC, give us an overview.

00:14:43.000 What's the lineup?

00:14:43.680 I think Elon's coming out.

00:14:45.120 Well, current lineup is that Elon is going to speak right before Steve.

00:14:49.980 Is he going to hand Steve the mic?

00:14:51.680 That's what I want to know.

00:14:52.560 I don't know.

00:14:52.960 Maybe a little debate.

00:14:53.500 All right, folks.

00:14:54.280 We're going to break.

00:14:55.080 Stay tuned to the war room.

00:15:05.680 I mean depression by the year 2030.

00:15:08.060 We're in a perfect storm as Social Security and Medicare hit a breaking point with the largest generation hitting retirement. 0.62

00:17:21.800 Thanks for being with us.

00:17:22.600 Thank you very much.

00:17:23.540 Well, the first thing I've got to say, quote Churchill, when you're going through hell, don't stop.

00:17:27.780 Keep going.

00:17:28.860 So that's what we've been doing.

00:17:30.600 Yeah, we're doing a panel on lawfare tomorrow.

00:17:33.200 But it just got much more exciting with Kash Patel's confirmation earlier today.

00:17:37.860 Because he's already indicated that he is going to look into this, what I believe is a nationwide conspiracy,

00:17:44.640 to deprive people of the constitutional right to speech, to petition our government for redress of grievances.

00:17:50.980 And, you know, the people that are engaged in that conspiracy, these NGOs, these state prosecutors,

00:17:56.480 and all of the money flowing through USAID and everything else that's going into this effort to shut us down,

00:18:02.280 that's a conspiracy and that's a federal felony.

00:18:04.800 And I hope Kash will investigate that fully.

00:18:07.500 And if warranted, put a bow on it and hand it over to Pam Bondi. 1.00

00:18:10.780 Yeah, I don't think there's any doubt that they're going to be able to show some elements of conspiracy.

00:18:17.940 But what I'm worried about is just the logic you see unfolding, whether it's the economic issues, the foreign policy.

00:18:23.740 You find a liberal judge and they say you've got a jury of your peers and we gave you proper justice

00:18:31.080 and they can hold up all policy from the executive branch using the courts.

00:18:37.200 What's the way forward on that?

00:18:38.600 Well, I think the courts are going to learn very quickly here that there are three articles dividing powers in the Constitution.

00:18:46.760 Article 1 is the legislative branch, Article 2 is the executive, and Article 3 is the judiciary.

00:18:52.860 And while the judiciary has to hold up the law, it doesn't have the authority to direct the president how to manage his department

00:19:00.080 any more than he can tell the judges who to hire for their clerks or what have her in the running of their department. 1.00

00:19:06.620 And these nationwide injunctions, particularly the most egregious one, telling the incoming secretary of the treasury,

00:19:12.480 appointed by the president, nominated by him, and confirmed by the Senate,

00:19:16.460 that he couldn't look at what his own department was doing because that would interfere with the career bureaucrats

00:19:22.220 that had been running roughshod over taxpayers for decades.

00:19:25.780 That was absurd, and they quickly backed away from that because I think that was on the fast track

00:19:30.140 that not only being overruled but getting rid of these nationwide injunctions by the Supreme Court.

00:19:34.760 Right. That one seemed, you know, highly, grotesquely offensive.

00:19:41.260 So they backtracked. The politics was so bad.

00:19:44.540 But these other stays, I mean, they have the ability to at least delay for a few months

00:19:50.860 until we put things, I forget what you lawyers call it, but whatever you have to put into the Supreme Court

00:19:55.940 to clear the decks. And so, but I'm fascinated because, like, just take USAID, right?

00:20:03.100 So that's under the State Department. Now that's under Rubio. Rubio is a secretary of state

00:20:08.300 who serves at the pleasure of the president. And the courts are getting in the middle of that line.

00:20:14.820 And so what can the president do? Can he ignore a stay if in, he's the chief magistrate of the country.

00:20:23.960 Can he ignore a stay if it's grotesquely out of bounds and challenge it to the Supreme Court himself?

00:20:29.920 What options does he have?

00:20:31.660 He should not be able to do that because otherwise you undermine the legitimate role of the judiciary.

00:20:38.920 But these things are getting so egregious. I know people are talking about that.

00:20:43.180 I hope it doesn't come to that.

00:20:44.920 But I'm working on an article right now called the Rule 11 option.

00:20:49.700 Supreme Court Rule 11 lets the Department of Justice ask the Supreme Court to review these cases

00:20:55.660 even before the Court of Appeals have ruled.

00:20:58.520 And we want to get back on the fast track.

00:21:00.740 Because what's going on here, they know ultimately they're going to lose most of these cases.

00:21:04.780 Because the president clearly has authority.

00:21:07.120 His legal team that has been working overtime for the last four years to get ready for this

00:21:11.620 have crossed the T's and dotted the I's.

00:21:14.160 They've got the statutory authority.

00:21:15.800 They've got the Constitution authority.

00:21:17.360 So I think they're eventually going to lose.

00:21:19.240 And their goal here is to try and run the clock on President Trump's agenda.

00:21:23.680 The agenda that we, the American people, voted to implement.

00:21:27.020 And he's doing it.

00:21:28.220 And they're trying to stop him and delay it as long as they can.

00:21:31.560 And I can't imagine a more perfect case for Rule 11 asking the Supreme Court, put a stop to this now.

00:21:37.140 We can't tolerate this.

00:21:38.200 Jack Posobiec, you're monitoring this stuff in real time.

00:21:42.380 Any questions for John Eastman?

00:21:44.460 Well, John, you were on my program earlier today.

00:21:46.720 And we were talking about this very issue.

00:21:49.220 But just take us back to what the concept of that is.

00:21:53.060 Because this is separation of powers.

00:21:55.080 The founders understood that each branch should, of course, you have the check on the power of the other branch.

00:22:01.240 But not for internal matters of that branch.

00:22:05.340 That's right.

00:22:06.080 And that's what's going on.

00:22:07.220 These independent, unelected, life-appointed judges are trying to micromanage how the president runs his own department.

00:22:16.640 And the claims that what he is doing illegally are specious.

00:22:20.520 And so what they're trying to do is use these pretexts to basically act as if they were the ones that the American people elected to run the department, the executive branch of government.

00:22:29.640 And by the way, the role of the judges is limited.

00:22:33.400 It's not all the judicial power.

00:22:35.440 It's only certain things that are spelled out in the Constitution, just like the legislative power is limited.

00:22:40.980 It's only the powers herein enumerated that are vested in the legislature.

00:22:44.320 But the president is the sole executive, and he holds all the executive power, it says.

00:22:52.200 The executive power is vested in the president.

00:22:55.020 And what these judges are doing in many instances is trying to become the executives themselves.

00:23:00.400 Unlike Kamala Harris, who at least got some votes in the general election, it's more like her running for the primary. 0.84

00:23:05.940 They didn't ever get a single vote, and they have no authority to run the executive department, the executive branch of government.

00:23:12.860 Dave, John had a good example earlier.

00:23:16.020 It's like a judge couldn't come in and start dictating military policy to the secretary of defense and block money if you're in the middle of a war.

00:23:25.320 Of course not.

00:23:26.820 We understand that that would be completely inappropriate.

00:23:31.320 And yet when it comes to these other cases, and of course the media is not on our side, but it's obviously a gross overstepping of their bounds.

00:23:37.600 Well, and more fundamentally, it's based on a hundred-year misconception of government.

00:23:43.520 Way back under Woodrow Wilson and then on steroids under Franklin Roosevelt, they brought in experts to run our lives rather than we the people running them.

00:23:53.440 And over a century they've gotten a view that we all work for them rather than the other way around.

00:23:57.820 And that's how you get a judge decision saying the secretary of treasury put in office by the person we just elected can't look at what his own employees are doing because they're the permanent bureaucracy and they're really running the show.

00:24:11.800 It's a complete upside-down view of our government.

00:24:14.160 And that's where, and I don't usually pull this card out very much, but as a Claremont fellow, when I learned at the Claremont where I got a little bit of education, not a lot, but a little bit of education,

00:24:26.700 they taught us that this was the problem where sovereignty essentially leaked out of the governmental system, spread into the expert class, and then joined at the hip with what?

00:24:38.540 Academia.

00:24:39.020 So this is where you get the academic split whereby you have these, like, Ivy League professors with security clearances going to the CIA and dictating national security policy that are completely unelected,

00:24:51.340 and the president doesn't even know what's going on.

00:24:53.420 Well, except he does now after the first four years.

00:24:56.280 Yeah, fair, fair.

00:24:56.860 And he revoked a lot of those security clearances.

00:25:00.580 Look, you know, back in the first Trump 45, there were a couple of articles, I think, in the New York Times.

00:25:05.140 The president is violating the law because he's not listening to the intelligence community.

00:25:10.780 Last I checked, they worked for him rather than the new way around.

00:25:13.560 And then the big one was, and he wanted to put in his own guy as acting attorney general.

00:25:18.000 This was somehow nefariously wrong.

00:25:20.720 I'm sorry.

00:25:21.360 He's the boss.

00:25:22.460 He ought to be able to put in who he wants.

00:25:24.500 And the Constitution gives him that authority.

00:25:27.000 And you know what?

00:25:27.740 The Constitution also says he can ask those department heads for opinions on how they ought to operate.

00:25:33.100 Right.

00:25:33.340 It's right there in the Constitution.

00:25:35.140 Yep.

00:25:35.920 A plus.

00:25:36.800 Ben Burquam, use of lawfare on your issue.

00:25:40.820 What do you got for John?

00:25:41.700 Yeah, so two things.

00:25:43.140 One, I was just up with Christina Bobb, and you think, you know, look what they're doing to her.

00:25:46.920 Look what they did to you or are doing to you.

00:25:48.880 All of that.

00:25:49.500 How do we, first off, what's going to happen with all those cases?

00:25:52.780 And then how do we hold these judges accountable?

00:25:55.280 Are we impeaching them?

00:25:56.420 What do we do to make sure this doesn't happen in the future?

00:25:59.160 So let me talk about Arizona, where Christina is my co-defendant in the Arizona criminal matter down there, the so-called fake electors case, alternate electors.

00:26:09.900 Anyway, we won a big victory last week where the judge held that we had met our initial burden under the state's anti-SLAPP statute to get the case dismissed.

00:26:20.940 We showed that the prosecution infringed our First Amendment rights, and we showed that it was substantially motivated by political bias and an effort to silence us on our rights.

00:26:31.300 Now, they have to prove that, oh, no, it had nothing to do with politics or the exercise of our First Amendment rights.

00:26:37.340 So that was a huge win.

00:26:39.040 They're fighting tooth and nail not even to let that stand.

00:26:42.100 They're trying to appeal that.

00:26:43.360 But that was a big win, a big win for free speech, a big win for getting rid of this lawfare.

00:26:50.540 You know, what do we do with these judges?

00:26:52.760 I think the Supreme Court is finally going to put an end to these nationwide injunctions.

00:26:57.960 You know, I also am a firm believer in arguing for decades that we've let judges run amok because we weakened the impeachment power.

00:27:06.440 We somehow got to the notion that you can only be impeached for criminal conduct off the bench, not for egregious violations of your office on the bench.

00:27:16.500 Yeah, that's a no-brainer.

00:27:17.700 And I think we need to bring – the founders would have thought, you know, a little crime off the bench is much less significant than violating your duties on the bench.

00:27:25.280 That's where the public interest is abused.

00:27:28.300 And I don't think in our politics right now, even if you could get an impeachment through the House, you would never get the two-thirds vote in the Senate.

00:27:36.060 But let's still put them through the ringer.

00:27:37.900 Let's make them go through the impeachment process. 0.93

00:27:39.960 They've put me through the ringer for the last four years.

00:27:42.380 Yeah, and Trump.

00:27:42.800 And I'd like to get even with them a little bit.

00:27:45.720 Amen.

00:27:45.960 Not because I'm a vengeful man, but because I believe in justice.

00:27:49.520 Amen.

00:27:50.120 That's right.

00:27:50.500 And John Eastman in the House, just to lay out the agenda here, I think we're waiting on the main stage for Elon Musk.

00:27:58.720 They're running – it looks way behind.

00:28:01.180 And then after Elon Musk, we've got the great Stephen K. Bannon on the main stage at CPAC.

00:28:07.940 And so all of that coming, we could be breaking at any time to go to the main stage.

00:28:13.500 But in the meantime, we've got the killer team here with John Eastman, and we'll be with you in the morning again for the regular show out of CPAC.

00:28:23.400 Folks, come find us in the morning.

00:28:25.700 We'll give you more details on that, Cameron.

00:28:28.080 But we're going to break, and so stay tuned for a short break.

00:28:33.420 And then back with Elon Musk.

00:28:35.100 We'll be live off the main stage.

00:28:36.680 We might get into a little anti-

00:28:38.940 While we may have won this election, the fight to restore our great nation is only beginning.

00:28:43.500 Now is the time to take a stand, and Patriot Mobile is leading the charge.

00:30:21.840 I think he's getting ready to go on the main stage.

00:30:24.940 We got Burquam, Bowling, Rapp, and Basobiec.

00:30:31.260 Basobiec, sorry about that.

00:30:32.060 I just wanted all B's.

00:30:33.620 That's my attempt at you.

00:30:34.820 That's a lot of B's.

00:30:35.360 That's a lot of B's.

00:30:36.260 Anyway, we got great news.

00:30:37.680 We got Eric Bowling in the house.

00:30:38.900 He joined RAB today.

00:30:41.640 Has his own new show.

00:30:43.920 That's right.

00:30:44.540 Give us a summary there.

00:30:45.420 So I found out in a press release.

00:30:47.060 I was reading the paper.

00:30:47.900 I saw a press release.

00:30:49.220 We're going to be the 4 o'clock show and Rapp.

00:30:51.920 I said, oh, okay, got it.

00:30:53.140 That's how it works.

00:30:54.520 But, yeah, we're going to, 4 o'clock, we're going to lead into the 5 o'clock Bannon War Room.

00:30:59.580 Wow.

00:30:59.780 It's going to be great.

00:31:00.520 We'll talk, again, Steve and I have known each other forever.

00:31:04.800 We were part of the original crew.

00:31:07.660 I would love Steve to be here right now because I remember having cocktails with Steve Bannon,

00:31:12.680 Andrew Breitbart, and Ann Coulter at Del Frisco's across the street from Fox many times.

00:31:20.000 That is, as a young guy getting into the business, I couldn't have had a better education than those folks right there.

00:31:27.260 And those are some of the best people in, you know, America first, in anti-globalist movement that is now all of a sudden sweeping the country.

00:31:36.400 Right.

00:31:37.120 What's the theme of the show?

00:31:38.120 What are you going to highlight?

00:31:38.840 I don't know yet.

00:31:39.540 I've been doing a show.

00:31:41.020 It's been a podcast, which will continue with Red Seed Ventures, which is the group that's producing Megyn Kelly and Tucker and O'Reilly and Pierce Morgan.

00:31:49.180 So it's the same group.

00:31:50.020 It's probably going to be very much the same show.

00:31:52.860 Yes.

00:31:53.800 We're going to have to bleep some words out once in a while.

00:31:55.940 But it's a four o'clock show.

00:31:59.800 The market closes at four.

00:32:01.060 If a lot's going on, we have Elon Musk.

00:32:03.120 We have Trump.

00:32:03.700 We have businessmen.

00:32:04.860 We'll talk about that a little bit, too.

00:32:06.520 So it's free-flowing, Dave.

00:32:08.180 I'm not really sure exactly what it's going to be, but I know it will be America first. 0.55

00:32:12.340 It will be full-throated MAGA editorial straight up.

00:32:18.900 That's where we're going.

00:32:19.700 Yeah.

00:32:19.960 Now, that's why you and Posobiec, give us a little CliffsNotes version.

00:32:24.200 And what's your – you've been doing this a bunch of years.

00:32:27.760 20.

00:32:27.960 The changing media environment, where the power centers are.

00:32:32.540 Give us a little CliffsNotes view.

00:32:34.620 So the legacy media has been dying the slow death.

00:32:37.420 Every year, the total legacy media, the ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, the pie shrinks by 8%.

00:32:46.660 And a lot of it is emigrating to the people who are doing what we're doing here.

00:32:50.500 We're creating organic content, honest content.

00:32:54.200 If you watch – now, I come from Fox.

00:32:55.900 I love them.

00:32:56.380 It's fine.

00:32:57.600 Do you see Killmeade, Ainsley in the morning, dear friends of mine?

00:33:01.020 But every word that comes out of their mouth is measured.

00:33:03.540 They're thinking about, how am I not going to get in trouble?

00:33:06.260 How am I going to not step into a lawsuit or get myself hauled up to the second floor,

00:33:13.100 which is where the off-executive suites are, and get in trouble?

00:33:17.780 With this content, we just let it rip, and we let it rip organically.

00:33:22.800 But just one final thought, Jack.

00:33:24.580 The legacy media got smoked in the election.

00:33:28.420 No one was honest enough in the legacy media to say, this is a Trump slam dunk.

00:33:34.120 Well, Eric, there's another name I'd throw on that, and that's the name of another former Fox guy, Pete Hegseth.

00:33:40.180 Yeah.

00:33:40.640 So I've noticed that – and people know Pete from on air, obviously, and they see his Twitter.

00:33:47.920 But it seems like – if you listen to that speech he gave at NATO, if you listen to that, I say, wait a minute.

00:33:54.280 That's not the Fox News line on NATO.

00:33:56.420 That's not exactly what you would hear normally from there.

00:34:00.560 So it's kind of like, wait a minute.

00:34:02.060 This is the real Pete Hegseth coming out now.

00:34:04.800 This isn't that – and I'm not saying anything against it, but it's what you're saying, right?

00:34:09.120 Well, everything is measured, Jack.

00:34:10.260 There's no measurement.

00:34:11.520 There's no worrying about being called upstairs.

00:34:13.780 It's I'm going to tell you the God's honest truth because he's been given an opportunity to do stuff.

00:34:18.340 You know who the last person to do that at – I'll call it legacy media, but certainly Fox was Tucker.

00:34:24.000 Tucker, yeah.

00:34:24.500 Tucker said exactly what he felt, what he knew, and they removed him for it.

00:34:29.600 Yeah.

00:34:29.780 I mean there's no other reason to have left the most successful cable host probably in the history of cable news and tell them, you know, find another job.

00:34:38.900 It's insanity other than they couldn't handle advertisers who were concerned with what was coming out of Tucker's mouth, which obviously the people loved and kind of lines up with what's going on right now in MAGA.

00:34:50.560 Ben, the war room, the big – I think people are going to like this, connecting the dots with the media.

00:34:56.460 Bannon's great at doing it.

00:34:57.680 Yep.

00:34:58.280 Endless wars.

00:34:59.540 Yep.

00:34:59.760 The economy.

00:35:01.040 Yep.

00:35:01.360 And then the border invasion.

00:35:02.760 Yep.

00:35:02.860 That's your turf.

00:35:04.060 What – had any of the mainstream media gotten any of those three – those were also the big three issues polling for the country for the election.

00:35:13.000 No coverage.

00:35:13.480 About three weeks before the election, mainstream media started saying, oh, we got a problem on the border.

00:35:18.500 You know, I mean it was that bad.

00:35:20.600 But I got to say, what you're talking about, Eric, and all of this – you know, I'm looking over at Patriot Mobile.

00:35:25.120 I got their new hat on I'm wearing over here.

00:35:27.120 This is a combination – shout out to Glenn Story.

00:35:29.880 We love Patriot Mobile, don't we both?

00:35:32.200 We love Patriot Mobile.

00:35:33.700 Mobile code RAV.

00:35:35.200 We love those guys.

00:35:36.480 But this is – talk about, Eric, about the cancel culture, how that is dying, how legacy – it tore down legacy media.

00:35:44.420 It tore down the people, you know, the influencers.

00:35:48.200 And now you see that the power is gone.

00:35:51.960 And so when it came to the border, I got permanently banned on YouTube for using the term illegal alien.

00:35:57.520 Now you see Elon take over Twitter, turn it into X.

00:36:01.820 You see Mark Zuckerberg.

00:36:03.740 Who would have thought that turning over?

00:36:05.560 And now you see all of these companies stepping up and saying, you know what, we're going to support the companies, the media that supports the values that we believe in.

00:36:12.800 And then we're going to, in turn, support those companies.

00:36:14.940 And guess what?

00:36:15.420 All of these people are then going to, in turn, support those companies and these companies.

00:36:19.640 I'll tell you, I was on Piers Morgan's Uncensored a couple nights ago.

00:36:23.860 And Lindy Lee, if you know who Lindy Lee is, she's a young lady who was all the way through the Biden presidency, the re-election campaign.

00:36:32.620 She was one of the major advisors and one of the major fundraisers as well.

00:36:37.220 And then she jumped over to Kamala Harris and she was full-throated Kamala Harris for the entirety of the campaign. 1.00

00:36:44.520 Trump wins.

00:36:45.860 Lindy Lee says, you know, I've really been conservative a long time.

00:36:50.640 I kind of like what's going on here.

00:36:52.580 Now I'm pro-Trump.

00:36:55.160 And I was on with her on Piers, and the first thing I said out of my mouth was, I don't trust you. 0.51

00:37:00.460 You're a Trojan horse. 0.70

00:37:01.760 You're going to flip back the other way, and we've got to be careful on the right.

00:37:06.180 We have to be careful who we're embracing because these are long-term Trump derangement syndrome haters who now see, Mark Zuckerberg, now see the path to Trump paved with gold.

00:37:19.800 She lied on Piers, too.

00:37:21.300 And Piers actually called her out because he caught it because she said, oh, I secretly didn't vote for Kamala.

00:37:30.020 Or she said anyone.

00:37:30.960 But then it was publicly saying it that she still supported, was posting pictures and everything.

00:37:35.660 And then people dug through her Twitter account and said, wait a minute.

00:37:38.600 You have a post that says right here I voted early for Kamala Harris.

00:37:43.320 You did like the mail-in voting.

00:37:44.240 That's why you don't trust these folks.

00:37:45.680 Just be very careful.

00:37:46.620 But what I would also say, though, and I'll just throw this out, and that's what I love about the war room and Real America's Voice as well, is you don't hear any of those games played around here.

00:37:56.040 We don't play that whole, oh, I'm a convert.

00:37:57.960 No, no.

00:37:59.060 If you're going to platform somebody, let's platform somebody like an Eric Balling, someone who's been there from the start, someone who's got a tried and true record, someone who we understand is on our side, that is fighting in the same direction as us.

00:38:11.820 We're not going to play this game of entryism.

00:38:14.640 And then, because what these people do, and I see a lot of this going on right now with a lot of the 2017er types that come in like, well, maybe I'll be a Trump supporter now.

00:38:23.280 And they come in, and they act like they have some moral judgment authority, like a moral authority on the rest of us.

00:38:30.280 Well, you can't talk to that person.

00:38:32.340 You can't have that person.

00:38:33.540 Who are you?

00:38:34.560 Who are you to be able to come and say that to us?

00:38:36.340 Because when their side comes over to the other side, either way, frankly, even if it's a Republican who decides, you know, I'm now a liberal, then the liberal networks will pick that person up because they love to see the food fight.

00:38:49.900 That's right.

00:38:50.140 They love to see a former Democrat.

00:38:52.540 They love a good turncoat.

00:38:53.680 So it's clickable.

00:38:54.400 And I said to her, you're just doing this because Fox is booking you like crazy.

00:38:58.760 I don't want to book you. 1.00

00:38:59.800 I think you're full of crap. 1.00

00:39:01.840 You know? 0.99

00:39:03.020 That's no, this is actually, Eric, what you're saying, this is very, very important.

00:39:07.680 And this is why independent media, like Real America's Voice, is dominant and is ascendant.

00:39:13.280 That's why people are, because they don't want the food fight. 0.99

00:39:15.360 They don't want the games anymore.

00:39:16.540 They don't want the little cafeteria nonsense.

00:39:18.040 Look, that's, that's, we know what Steve says about Fox.

00:39:20.800 I'm not going to say it right now, but, but you want the 301.

00:39:24.020 This is 301.

00:39:24.920 This is like, you know, going back to school, right?

00:39:26.520 Liberty.

00:39:26.840 This is graduate level studies around here.

00:39:28.820 We don't play those games, brass tacks numbers.

00:39:31.720 That's what the war room is about.

00:39:33.220 And look, if someone, I'm not saying by the way, that it doesn't happen.

00:39:36.600 If someone legitimately has a conversion and goes, and I'll say this as a Catholic, Brad will love this, does their penance, does their penance, right? 0.93

00:39:45.700 See, this is, this is why we have that Catholicism, right?

00:39:47.920 You do your penance and you show everyone that you're not just Mark Zuckerberg.

00:39:52.760 You know, I'm going to throw a million bucks.

00:39:54.820 A million bucks, that guy sneezes and it's five, right?

00:39:57.320 This, a million bucks to Trump and all of a sudden he's feeding around.

00:40:00.180 No way, dude.

00:40:01.180 No way.

00:40:02.360 Yeah.

00:40:02.520 Hey, you guys keep going.

00:40:03.740 What do you, what do you, each of you in a minute, what do you see in terms of platforms coming around the corner in the next few years?

00:40:09.980 Anything, I mean, you, you're about as savvy on the social media platforms out there.

00:40:13.980 Well, I think what you're, what we're already seeing, I'll say it this way, because you're already seeing it.

00:40:17.760 What the Trump administration and the White House is doing and they, they got, when they, when they brought me over on the trip to Ukraine, right?

00:40:23.900 To the, they're like, we're bringing Posobiec over to Kiev and he's going to be in with the negotiations and the peace deal, the economic, the mineral deal.

00:40:31.440 Awesome.

00:40:31.760 And then Hegseth invites me, they say, how could you invite this guy?

00:40:35.100 He's a social media.

00:40:36.020 He's just, I said, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:40:37.420 What they're doing is they're embracing radical transparency.

00:40:41.520 So what you're, what's happening with media is, and that's through Real America's Voice and through social media, podcasts, et cetera, they're pulling back the curtain.

00:40:50.080 There's no backroom deals anymore because with social media, with the reality, you can put someone in the actual room.

00:40:56.220 And what the Trump administration is doing is totally disintermediating all the gatekeepers that Eric is talking about because with, with the power of a cell phone, right?

00:41:05.340 You can put someone right in the room.

00:41:07.240 So Trump, by doing that, that's why all the Obama bros on the podcast network, that's why they're all freaking out. 0.51

00:41:12.600 Cause they're like, wait, why didn't we do this?

00:41:14.880 Then they realized they should have done it.

00:41:17.080 Outstanding.

00:41:17.620 Eric, keep going.

00:41:18.480 Well, just continue what Jack just said.

00:41:21.300 Trump revolutionized campaigning, number one.

00:41:25.560 He also sped up the process.

00:41:27.260 Remember I said that the, um, the pie shrinks for legacy media by 8% a year.

00:41:31.520 I think he pushed that even further by going on Joe, spending three hours with Joe Rogan.

00:41:36.360 Right.

00:41:37.540 Kamala couldn't spend five minutes with a reporter. 0.97

00:41:40.040 He spends three hours with Rogan.

00:41:42.660 So I believe the world.

00:41:43.900 Wait, wait, Eric, would you have wanted three hours of Kamala Harris on Joe Rogan?

00:41:47.220 No, no, no.

00:41:48.220 But she couldn't come up with, she didn't have an answer for one question.

00:41:51.360 How are you going to fix inflation?

00:41:52.580 She didn't, and Trump would spend three hours, you know, talking about everything.

00:41:56.520 That was a fascinating interview, by the way.

00:41:58.280 Right.

00:41:58.740 But what it did was it kind of showed the world like, okay, so there's more to media than just

00:42:04.100 watching, you know, the big three, ABC, NBC, CBS, and the other three cable networks.

00:42:08.540 Since networks like this and what we're, my show is still going to be available on podcasts

00:42:12.460 and as I guess others are as well.

00:42:14.840 I think that's where things are going.

00:42:15.940 I just wanted to show you guys this real, real quickly.

00:42:18.560 Ah, look at that.

00:42:19.000 This is a White House hard pass.

00:42:21.900 Trump gave this to me.

00:42:22.800 Rubbing that in.

00:42:23.380 Trump gave this to me in 2016, day one, or week one.

00:42:27.360 Let's call it week one.

00:42:28.820 I had it for four years.

00:42:29.840 When Biden was elected, they pulled it.

00:42:33.000 The Biden administration pulled, it's a hard pass.

00:42:34.900 It allows you to present to the White House complex and just show it and you get in.

00:42:39.920 You don't have to have a meeting.

00:42:41.000 You don't have to have someone get you.

00:42:43.240 And then he came back and got it.

00:42:45.180 And Jack, when they put that new media seat in the briefing room and they don't start with

00:42:50.080 the AP, by the way, it's Golf of America AP.

00:42:54.500 They don't start with the AP first question every time.

00:42:56.780 It's fantastic.

00:42:57.640 When they took your card away from you, did the press report, that's unfair?

00:43:01.520 No.

00:43:02.040 They didn't quite get there.

00:43:03.740 They didn't have your back on that one?

00:43:05.020 Unbelievable.

00:43:05.640 I found out the hard way.

00:43:06.720 I showed.

00:43:06.980 Eric, did you see what Caroline just announced?

00:43:09.920 This morning or this morning or last night, it's not just new media.

00:43:13.420 You know what she's doing now?

00:43:14.600 Local media row.

00:43:16.320 I love this idea.

00:43:17.660 So a whole media row where I guess it's going to be on a rotational basis where they're bringing

00:43:22.500 in local media from all around the country, people who would never get a bite at the Apple

00:43:27.780 normally.

00:43:28.620 So yeah, bring them in.

00:43:29.960 Right.

00:43:30.380 Unreal.

00:43:30.880 Ben, any last?

00:43:32.180 Well, I think I used the wrong promo code for Patriot Mobile.

00:43:34.660 I got to use War Room.

00:43:36.080 Which is the Patriot Mobile one when we're on war?

00:43:38.640 I don't know.

00:43:39.040 One of them.

00:43:39.340 Just use Patriot Mobile.

00:43:40.720 That's good.

00:43:41.360 All right.

00:43:42.020 We're in the War Room at CPAC, Inner Harbor, D.C.

00:43:48.620 Next year in Texas, we're announcing the Eric Bolling Show, 4 p.m. every day?

00:43:55.700 Every day at 4.

00:43:56.240 Every day at 4 before Bannon at 5.

00:43:59.640 We're coming back.

00:44:00.800 We're expecting Elon.

00:44:01.940 I think he's wrapping up.

00:44:03.120 Stephen K. Bannon's on the main floor.

00:44:05.900 Maybe back in the show.

00:44:06.740 Health isn't just a personal issue.

00:44:08.700 It's a family issue.

00:44:09.640 A community issue.

00:44:11.100 We're living in unpredictable times.

00:44:13.120 Supply chains can break down.

00:44:14.420 Hospitals can get overwhelmed.

00:44:15.840 And let's not even start on the natural disasters.

00:44:19.060 These aren't hypotheticals.

00:44:20.260 They're happening.

00:44:20.880 You see it here in the War Room, and we all know it.

00:44:23.620 The question is simply, are you ready?

00:44:26.640 That's where Jace comes in.

00:45:29.060 The Washington Harbor Gaylord Hotel.

00:45:31.600 Make your way down.

00:45:32.560 We're in the basement.

00:45:33.720 We got in a little trouble last year.

00:45:35.780 We're making too much noise and being too rowdy.

00:45:38.240 Dungeon, Dave.

00:45:39.100 Dungeon.

00:45:39.920 I think we're in the dungeon.

00:45:40.720 I think we got Stephen K. Bannon coming up to the main stage.

00:45:47.280 Mike Lindell is with us.

00:45:48.580 We'll be coming back to him to sell some pillows.

00:45:50.960 But here we go.

00:45:51.720 The great Stephen K. Bannon main stage at CPAC.

00:45:55.560 Here we go.

00:45:56.100 Give him a round. 0.80

00:46:01.660 Yo! 1.00

00:46:04.240 What a glorious day.

00:46:05.840 Hold it.

00:46:10.400 How did I draw the card to follow Elon Musk?

00:46:14.400 Come on, man.

00:46:18.220 You bring out the world's wealthiest guy, Superman, I'm supposed to follow it? 0.98

00:46:22.980 I'm just a crazy Irishman.

00:46:25.840 This is a glorious day. 0.81

00:46:27.460 You know why it's glorious?

00:46:28.460 You're right.

00:46:29.460 Cash Patel's director of the FBI.

00:46:35.960 Confirmed by the United States Senate.

00:46:40.240 As was Bobby Kennedy Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, Pete Hexeth.

00:46:47.640 Didn't they tell you it couldn't be done?

00:46:50.900 Didn't they?

00:46:51.360 All right there.

00:46:52.340 Didn't the mainstream media say it couldn't be done?

00:46:54.160 None of them, right?

00:46:55.360 It's a glorious day.

00:46:58.900 Mitch McConnell.

00:47:02.020 Mitch McConnell's gone.

00:47:03.380 He retired.

00:47:04.700 Right?

00:47:06.320 You did that.

00:47:07.540 Remember on the Ukraine vote?

00:47:10.920 Remember that?

00:47:12.220 You broke, he broke his pick on that.

00:47:14.600 You delivered that.

00:47:15.800 Just like you delivered Tulsi and Bobby and Pete and Cash.

00:47:21.680 They said Trump wouldn't get any of his cabinet members' key.

00:47:24.980 He got them all.

00:47:25.720 Why?

00:47:25.960 Because of you.

00:47:28.500 Scott Besson today said Elon's group in the first 30 days found $55 billion away from him.

00:47:37.540 fraud and abuse, right?

00:47:39.620 $55 billion.

00:47:40.820 That's going to add up to $600, $700, $800 billion.

00:47:44.860 In one month they've done that.

00:47:46.560 And President Trump comes that day, he's so excited, he says, hey, I think we can balance

00:47:50.360 the budget.

00:47:51.520 Right?

00:47:55.440 President Trump, hang on for a second.

00:47:58.080 We'll just get it down on a trillion.

00:47:59.760 We'll start there.

00:48:02.360 Zelensky's been put in his place.

00:48:04.420 Right?

00:48:05.960 Right?

00:48:06.360 And the J6ers are here at CPAC. 1.00

00:48:14.980 All of them.

00:48:17.400 From the medium-high security prisons to the U.S. penitentiaries, to the men that got diesel 0.95

00:48:23.240 therapy, all of them are here.

00:48:26.700 Right?

00:48:28.460 They don't like that up there.

00:48:30.020 You don't like the J6ers being here. 1.00

00:48:31.660 The J6ers are here. 1.00

00:48:32.600 Hey, and let me tell you something else.

00:48:35.020 I talked to Ambassador Rick Grinnell last night, and the J6ers, I think, the J6 choir is going 1.00

00:48:41.620 to play the Kennedy Center for a night in honor of their families.

00:48:47.460 In fact, I got an idea.

00:48:51.180 The night that they play, the J6 choir plays and opens the new, you know, the new, with

00:48:57.980 Rick Grinnell and President Trump as chairman.

00:49:00.200 We have the J6 choir.

00:49:01.560 Right?

00:49:01.800 And we invite all the families they try to destroy, the J6ers, and they get to sit in the boxes 1.00

00:49:07.060 where the elites sit.

00:49:08.000 Right?

00:49:08.220 And we take the elite for just one night, and we take them down to the D.C. gulag.

00:49:17.560 Right?

00:49:18.740 For one night.

00:49:23.940 Think they can handle that?

00:49:27.120 I don't think so either.

00:49:28.460 Game likes game, right?

00:49:36.520 Game knows game.

00:49:38.480 Right?

00:49:38.900 I'll tell you, it's game.

00:49:40.200 The gentleman sitting in the White House, Donald J. Trump, it's a glorious day.

00:49:44.000 Days of thunder.

00:49:45.360 Days of thunder and years of lightning.

00:49:48.500 Every day is Christmas Day.

00:49:50.100 Every day, you get more executive voices, more executive actions.

00:49:55.000 It's not going to stop.

00:49:57.120 But you know what's the most important thing of all that?

00:50:00.820 It's you.

00:50:03.100 You're here today at CPAC.

00:50:05.240 You represent the tip of the tip of the spear of the populist nationalist movement.

00:50:10.720 All of that, from Kash Patel, to McConnell leaving, to the J6 being free, right? 0.93

00:50:20.540 To Zelensky being put in his place.

00:50:23.480 And Elon just said it right there.

00:50:25.820 It's been nothing but grift.

00:50:26.980 The parents and the kids in Ukraine didn't want him to die.

00:50:30.500 Who want him to die?

00:50:31.360 The globalists want him to die.

00:50:32.840 Who said stop it? 0.98

00:50:34.060 You said stop it.

00:50:35.320 You gave voice to President Trump.

00:50:37.340 Now, why is it so important that all the media's here and the world's here and the Financial

00:50:44.340 Times of London and the New York Times and all these?

00:50:46.720 Why are they all here?

00:50:47.900 They're not here to see me.

00:50:49.660 They can see me every day on Real America's Voice screaming like a madman into a microphone.

00:50:55.520 They can see Rob Schmidt and Elon.

00:50:58.180 Elon's everywhere, right?

00:51:00.080 It's great he does.

00:51:00.960 He's everywhere.

00:51:03.040 Right?

00:51:03.240 J.D. Vance gave a great speech.

00:51:05.560 You can see J.D. all the time.

00:51:08.280 President Trump's going to give a magnificent speech on Saturday, is he not?

00:51:15.980 But they get enough of President Trump every day, don't they?

00:51:20.000 Hell yeah.

00:51:21.100 He calls them into the Oval Office.

00:51:23.080 He signed an executive orders and they're sitting there throwing these questions.

00:51:28.320 Ba-boom. 0.66

00:51:29.060 Ba-boom. 0.66

00:51:29.580 He's like a Howard sir.

00:51:32.120 Oh, they got enough of President Trump.

00:51:34.140 You know what they're really here for?

00:51:35.280 They're here because of you.

00:51:44.380 They can't defeat what they don't understand.

00:51:48.260 They can't destroy what they don't understand, right?

00:51:55.700 They can't contain what they don't understand.

00:52:00.440 From Riyadh, to Beijing, to Berlin, to the City of London, to Buenos Aires, you name it.

00:52:09.820 Every world capital.

00:52:11.540 Every hedge fund.

00:52:13.220 Every political consultant.

00:52:15.380 All the money.

00:52:17.040 All the power.

00:52:18.700 All the legislation.

00:52:19.580 You know what they want?

00:52:20.220 They want to understand MAGA.

00:52:24.320 You know why?

00:52:25.560 You represent the best of the American people.

00:52:29.900 In your righteous indignation.

00:52:33.680 You rose up.

00:52:36.580 Right?

00:52:37.040 You rose up.

00:52:39.180 How many times have I been doing this?

00:52:40.640 The last two or three years?

00:52:41.380 What did I tell you last year on this very stage?

00:52:43.420 We're going to win.

00:52:44.540 We're going to win the primary.

00:52:45.940 We're going to win the general election.

00:52:47.340 And Donald Trump's going to return to the White House.

00:52:49.000 And all these guys, all the mainstream media, the fake news, mocked and ridiculed.

00:52:52.880 Trump's not going to win the primary.

00:52:55.160 You were right.

00:52:55.640 Right?

00:52:56.840 You were right.

00:52:57.740 They had, who was it?

00:52:59.600 Nikki? 0.53

00:53:00.760 Nikki Haley?

00:53:02.840 Had Governor, and I like Governor Sancis.

00:53:05.580 Has Governor Sancis dropped out by then?

00:53:08.220 I don't remember.

00:53:09.800 But it was soon thereafter.

00:53:11.320 You had Trump's back.

00:53:12.300 You had Trump's back.

00:53:13.720 Hey, we're human.

00:53:15.400 I don't always eat healthy.

00:53:16.840 I know that's shocking.

00:53:17.580 You don't always eat healthy either.

00:54:38.540 I'm really trying to fill this gap of quality supplements and, of course, the beef liver being our flagship products.

00:54:46.360 For those who don't know, beef liver is loaded with highly bioavailable ingredients such as vitamin A, B12, zinc, CoQ10, et cetera.

00:54:55.960 And because it is 100% grass-fed and natural, your body is able to absorb these nutrients far better than taking any other synthetic multivitamin or any other synthetic vitamin in general.

00:55:07.800 So, we have some other amazing products, but if you'd like to check us out, you can go to sacredhumanhealth.com and cheers to your health.
