Learn English with President Trump. President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin shook hands at the White House and talked about a range of topics, including the recent attack on the U.S. Consulate in Ukraine, the Ukraine crisis, and much more.
00:04:16.760But I really believe that he wants to make a deal.
00:04:19.280Maybe wrong, but I believe he wants to make a deal.
00:04:21.520Well, I will say it appears that German voters responded to those messages about as effectively as American voters would respond to German politicians
00:04:32.960going to Peoria and telling them how to vote in their American elections.
00:04:38.780Yeah, I think that's a pretty good way of putting it.
00:04:42.560In fact, arguably, if you see the turnout, which was it was a high, a recent high in Germany, 85 percent of German voters voted yesterday.
00:04:52.980Compare that to the recent high in the U.S. presidential elections of 66 percent in 2020.
00:05:00.300Then, arguably, Elon Musk really stimulated everyone else, the anti-AfD vote, to come out and vote and limit it to that one in five ceiling that it's been at for some time.
00:05:14.640Look, it's still, by German post-war standards, a pretty sobering result to see not just the far right get one in five, but the far left surging as well.
00:05:26.720So put together, extreme parties are now about 30 percent of the German vote, and they used to be nowhere.
00:05:33.860But relative to where other democracies are going, including the United States, nearly half of America voted for Trump.
00:05:42.920This is a moderate center is holding election.
00:05:46.720And I think that the change in chancellors from Olaf Scholz to Friedrich Marx is extremely good news in terms of what Cathy was just saying.
00:05:59.340If we want Europe to move fast, because he said we've got no time for the usual German weeks and months of coalition negotiations, the world will not wait on us.
00:06:14.040We've got to move quickly and we've got to we've got to build up our defenses against Russia.
00:07:14.980Monday, 24 February, year of our Lord, 2025.
00:07:17.460You've seen here, this is today, the very historic kickoff to our historic week.
00:07:25.500President Trump, let's set this in what has occurred since he's arrived for his second term.
00:07:33.260And I think President Trump would be the first that would agree with this.
00:07:38.120In fact, I think this is atop of his mind a lot of times.
00:07:41.420That God works in mysterious ways and is actually more powerful for him to have had the space between the first term and the second term.
00:07:53.920That the irony of all this is that the big steal that occurred in 20 allowed us to see the demonic nature of what our opposition is.
00:08:08.940Also see where they were taking the world and also, I think, allowed the world to see what was going to be at hand with these globalists.
00:08:17.240And so that President Trump's second term, third win, second term, is actually more powerful.
00:08:23.840Now, what's happened since he's come to power on the 20th in the last month, but I think most personified in what's happened over the last 72 hours is,
00:08:35.860and I don't want to call it the Trump doctrine because that's an easy way that the media always tries to look at these things.
00:08:42.060He is very much trying to think through geostrategically and geoeconomically with both the hemispheric defense of the Panama Canal to Greenland, the Arctic, Canada,
00:09:01.820the geoeconomic unit that is North America, the geostrategic unit.
00:09:06.780Looking at the three island chains in the great desert of the Pacific, that is a natural barrier to essentially hermetically seal the United States,
00:09:19.580you add an iron dome or an anti-ballistic missile type system, you've hermetically sealed the homeland.
00:09:27.880And to think through then the economics of a new structure that's different than the post-war international rules-based order that just drained America, drained her and drained her people.
00:09:45.000So if you see on Friday the executive order about China and the investment in China, that is the beginning of decoupling, particularly on the technology side.
00:09:55.640You couple that with the Apple investment today, and the Apple investment, clearly Apple and Tim knew about this for a while, right?
00:10:10.480They knew that this was going to be a – that this was going to be – Trump was going to penalize companies putting into investments into China.
00:10:21.360So he announced today a $500 billion, half a trillion dollar investment program into capital equipment and manufacturing here in the United States.
00:10:30.960As Mike Allen said this morning on Morning Joe, that is huge leverage for President Trump.
00:10:35.960It also sent a signal to all these other U.S. companies that, hey, if Apple can do it, we can do it.
00:10:43.540And President Trump, this is part of his tariff – I don't even want to call them tariffs.
00:10:46.660It's his new economic structure where to get into this market, you're going to pay a high premium unless you actually move your manufacturing here.
00:10:54.220In addition, although – and I say this all the time, I'm not as excited as President Trump is, but I think it shows you that the Saudis, the Japanese might come and talk about a trade, and the Saudis talking about $400 or $500 billion.
00:11:06.680All these people throwing up tens if not hundreds of billions of dollars of investment here in the United States from the UAE to – what's it, Masa-san, all of them, SoftBank.
00:11:20.700It's not going to an investment in mainland China underneath the Chinese Communist Party.
00:11:26.240That's what President Trump is trying to show.
00:11:27.600In addition, this Ukraine – and that's what we wanted to play the beginning of that, and I thank the production team for focusing.
00:11:34.640Of the entire day, I think that was the most important part because the Europeans are still trying to entangle America, the United States, into their defense.
00:11:50.480And when I say their defense, not as an ally, but as still as a protectorate.
00:11:56.280And Macron talks the biggest talk, although nobody in Europe, no government in Europe, no people in Europe would ever vote for this.
00:12:02.500What he's talking about and the way they've allowed their defenses to deteriorate, and the other day I had a European say, well, you don't understand it.
00:12:10.740The American military is so inextricably woven and is the foundational element to all the European defenses, all the air defense, all the radars, all the infantry, all the logistics is really built around the spine or the foundation of the American military that's in Europe.
00:12:27.340The large military infantry presence we have in Germany, and, of course, other armor, artillery, air assets throughout Italy, everywhere.
00:12:41.060That we still are the underpinnings and the foundational element of their defense.
00:12:45.280This is why this buzzword you're going to hear, security guarantee, security guarantee.
00:12:53.460Now, the Ukraine situation makes sense if it is under the overall structure of some sort of relationship with the Russians, and you can tell where President Trump's going in that, I think.
00:13:05.360He's very, very, very, very focused, I believe, in making sure he essentially tries to isolate the Chinese Communist Party, both decouple economically, enforce Wall Street and Silicon Valley to do that, and the corporatists.
00:13:22.020That's not going to be easy at the same time to have some sort of rapprochement with Russia where they are more in our camp or more aligned with us than they are with the Chinese Communist Party, which is what the last, you know, the Atlanticist and the elitist, what President Trump wanted to do his first term because of Russia, Russia, Russia.
00:13:46.380All those nonsense, all those lies from shifting, all of them, forced the Russians into the arms of the Chinese Communist Party.
00:13:54.860So they came up with, right around the time of three years ago, of the invasion of Ukraine, that special strategic relationship, remember, the strategic relationship that can be topped by no other.
00:14:12.480President Trump is trying to negotiate a new kind of Pax Americana without American troops everywhere, and America underwriting security guarantees everywhere, which is what we do today.
00:14:30.000Whether it's in Western Europe, around the Gulf, around the Gulf of Emirates, in Israel, the Middle East, around the Straits of Malacca and the South China Sea, or up off of Korea and Japan.
00:14:45.300President Trump thinking it through is one of the reasons this election in Germany is so massive.
00:16:38.520As you know, I'm not particularly excited about the Ukraine part, but in context of an overall new rethinking of this and people putting their guns down with Russia,
00:16:59.880I've always felt that some sort of alignment with Russia is absolutely central to the takedown of the Chinese Communist Party.
00:17:09.400If we have allowed what we've allowed for the last five years since Biden got in,
00:17:14.200and Biden drove the Chinese Communist Party, Beijing, the Mullahs in Tehran in Persia, Russia, the KGB, and Erdogan.
00:17:24.060They made that movie about me in, called The Brink, I think in 2018 or 2019, 2018,
00:17:30.840where they went around the world when I was in Western Europe trying to begin this populist movement that you're seeing coming to fruition today,
00:17:38.520including meeting with the Alternative for Deutschland people at the time.
00:17:43.720And, you know, Alternative for Deutschland at the time I think was at 3% or 4%.
00:17:47.840When I met with Georgia Maloney, she was at 3%.
00:17:51.160She headed up a small party called the Sons of Italy.
00:17:55.400The only person that had gotten real traction was Nigel Farage, who we had worked with shoulder to shoulder on Brexit back in 2015 and 2016.
00:18:04.520In fact, Rahim Ghassan, our beloved Rahim Ghassan, had actually left Breitbart London for a while and went and ran the campaigns for Nigel.
00:18:15.020My point is that these have been a long time in coming to fruition.
00:18:19.660There is a possibility that you could set the world on a path from the beginning stages of the kinetic part of the Third World War.
00:18:29.820You could set it on a path to actually peace and prosperity.
00:18:36.200That's what President Trump's trying to do.
00:18:38.460That's why it takes a leader of his caliber and strength.
00:18:43.320And we don't agree on everything, but I absolutely understand and 1 million percent agree with what he's trying to do directionally.
00:18:50.960And it's a little bit breathtaking because you're hitting on so many different strategic notes.
00:18:58.480To wit, they've just announced that on March 4th, the 25 percent tariffs in Mexico kick in.
00:19:06.040And I've been given interviews in Canada nonstop on Canadian TV, and I keep telling people he's not trolling you.
00:19:12.420He talks about the 51st state, and I said you should take it as an honor.
00:19:16.560People in the United States don't sit there and go, hey, we'd love to have these folks here as a state.
00:19:22.740That hasn't happened since Alaska in Hawaii, what, 70 years ago, 60 years ago.
00:19:29.420So – and they're going to get – it's going to get their attention geo-economically when they see the premium they have to pay to get into this market.
00:19:39.820And put on top of that the geo-strategic necessity of what's going to happen in the Arctic is that now is a great power struggle in what we call the new great game or the great game of the 21st century.
00:19:50.160That is kind of replicates what happened between the Russian Empire and the British Empire in Afghanistan and Persia in the 19th century around India.
00:20:00.240So President Trump is thinking in five different directions and negotiating the entire time.
00:20:04.360However, you've always got to be careful.
00:20:07.180And I know we've got Senator Rubio I think is doing a great job.
00:20:20.980I think the cabinet – and I could argue this.
00:20:23.900I think the cabinet he has is the best cabinet a president's had of people that are action-oriented and can get things done since Lincoln's war cabinet.
00:20:32.160And – but you see Macron, this is a shifty guy.
00:20:42.940This is why I'm so upset about this Bardella guy at Front National.
00:20:45.880I think Front National is teed up to take over the French government under Le Pen.
00:20:52.100But the Bardella is just a weak sister.
00:20:54.860The guy wet himself about my wave to the audience the other day.
00:20:58.420I had to put up – I had to send these guys today how I did the exact same wave in front of Front National when they invited me over there in 2018 seven years ago to give them a pep talk.
00:21:08.900Almost the exact same pep talk, a different kind of version of it, of how they were not alone and how they were fighting the good fight, and they were only at, I don't know, 14 or 15 percent at the time.
00:21:22.060I will get in back of people when you're at 3 percent.
00:21:24.300I don't care because I see the possibility that George Maloney can, you know, lead the government or a guy like Salvini can win or a person like Trump can win.
00:21:32.500You talk about – I haven't talked about the CPAC straw poll.
00:21:37.080President Trump's history in the CPAC because they missed – McLaughlin made a misstatement the other day when he did this.
00:21:45.220President Trump has been on the CPAC poll two times before he was president, twice.
00:21:50.060The first time was in 2015, and I was there kind of both times.
00:21:53.580It was in 2015 when President Trump, the first time he was on the CPAC straw poll, finished eighth at 3.5 percent.
00:22:03.280In fact, he was going to fire Sam Nunberg, the guy who was working with him at the time, you know, for not doing as good a job.
00:22:09.860Although the 3.5 percent was pretty strong given President Trump as a CPAC was much different than this today.
00:23:49.860The one time we did the launch of the cruise missile in the Syria, he remembers I was the one that was with him that didn't want to do it.
00:23:57.460And eventually he was kind of talked into it, I believe, by the National Security Council, by Mattis and these guys that do the same thing.
00:24:04.640Clinton just shoot a couple of cruise missiles in.
00:24:07.140And then the next day they're doing the same thing.
00:24:28.800They said, hey, if you want to go around slaying dragons, they've got a whole world full of them.
00:24:34.680So maybe the watchword in our early days of the Republic, do not go overseas looking for dragons to slay, for monsters to slay, because there's monsters everywhere in the world.
00:24:43.560What President Trump is trying to do is stop the kinetic part of the Third World War, which has already been bloodier than the first couple of years of the Second World War.
00:24:55.480What's happening in Ukraine has been far bloodier than Poland or the fall of France or the Blitz.
00:25:20.500And you see there in the remarks – and that's why I was so fascinated.
00:25:22.980I'm so glad now that Real America's Voice, we have a couple of White House correspondents.
00:25:26.380And we have the camera there, we have our setup over there, and we can do real-time pulling of the footage and then having the Natalie Winters and the Brian Glens and the Amanda Heads and others that can give commentary.
00:25:43.020Because history is being made every day.
00:25:45.600If President Trump is able to pull off some sort of – let's call it an arrangement right now.
00:25:57.380And really unite us for the first time since World War II with our allies, not the KGB, not the leaders, but the people of Russia who bled on battlefields for us, unlike most of the elites that we're dealing with that are, quote-unquote, allies.
00:26:25.120Canada is always punched above their weight, always answered the call, and they've always taken the tough assignments, and they've given better than they got.
00:26:38.200But President Trump is trying to do something here that is historic, and if he can pull it off, and it will take a couple of years minimum to pull off, he could set the 21st century down a path of peace.
00:26:52.300Because right now, folks, you look at the 21st century compared to the 20th, and remember, you're coming out of the bloodiest century in mankind's history.
00:27:03.000Look at the 20th century, I think it's, we figured out the short century of the 20th century, I call it, from August of 1914, the guns of August in World War I, to the fall of the Tiananmen Square and the Berlin Wall.
00:27:18.900That's, to me, the 20th century, right there, from 1914 to 1989, 1990.
00:27:27.320200, I think 250 million people killed, starved, massacred in concentration camps, starved to death by the Chinese Communist Party, slaughtered on battlefields from the Ukraine.
00:27:40.780Starvation, 5 million died in, what is it, Holdemore?
00:27:46.040In Ukraine, 5 million starved brutally by the Bolsheviks.
00:27:49.140Obviously, the Holocaust, Southeast Asia after Vietnam, all of it, a bloody, catastrophic, dark century.
00:28:02.640The 21st century is teed up to be even worse.
00:28:07.180And that's what President Trump is doing, it's so historic, and that's why you've got these Macron and these guys, you can't trust any of them.
00:28:13.680They're in there today, and you see them weaving away, and, oh, you're going to have a security guarantee, and all this, giving all this happy talk.
00:28:21.900What they want is American money and American troops.
00:28:27.100That's what President Trump's fighting.
00:29:05.560That's why I've made sure my family's prepared with my Patriot Supply and their four-week emergency food kit.

00:29:53.900Philip Patrick, you know, we talk all the time, particularly what's happening.
00:29:56.840I think gold hit another all-time high today.
00:30:00.140But also the pressure on gold and the purchasing of gold from central banks is also rapidly increasing.
00:30:06.700So Philip Patrick told me there's a finance professor down, I think, at the University of Arkansas that's now made end-of-the-dollar empire mandatory reading for his finance class.
00:30:17.680So we're very proud of that, the fact that we try to make a relatively arcane and oftentimes boring topic kind of come alive with the drama that it deserves because it's something that you need to understand.
00:30:31.880And that is kind of global capital markets, currency, debt, deficits, all of it, to understand, quite frankly, your place in the world, at least the economic and financial world.
00:30:42.160So you can start making decisions for yourself and also put your shoulder to the wheel to help the MAGA movement in your country.
00:30:49.320Birchgold.com, it's totally free, the sixth free installment.
00:30:53.140Modern Monetary Theory, you might think that was a dry topic.
00:30:57.300Once you start reading it, you'll go, oh, my God, how do smart people actually believe this?
00:31:02.540Now, I don't want to say that that idea came out of France, but it came out of France.
00:31:06.860A professor there and other intellectuals kind of thought it up.
00:31:12.060But the Wall Street, the lords of easy money in the Bank of England, the lords of easy money at the Fed, and particularly Wall Street in the political class in all these countries, bit hard.
00:31:41.400We're going to have some special announcements of that, and we want to thank the University of Arkansas down there, one of the professors, for making it mandatory.
00:31:47.940I hope your students get up the learning curve like the Warren Posse has.
00:31:52.720Also, you can take your phone and text Bannon at 989898 and get the free brochure,
00:32:00.160The Ultimate Guide to Invest in Precious Metals and Gold in the Era of Trump.
00:34:11.040It's not necessarily indicated what they're talking about.
00:34:13.520But later in the piece, they invoke Mark Zaid.
00:34:15.420They quote him, who is, of course, the infamous whistleblower attorney, the first impeachment kind of legal extraordinaire.
00:34:22.200And I want to read a quote from him because in terms of understanding where they go from here, they are so pressed up against a wall.
00:34:28.320The only option that they have is essentially to leak documents to try to get back at President Trump like they were doing, for example, right, with the ICE raids in Los Angeles.
00:34:37.080Mark Zaid saying, quote, it's a deterrent to lawful whistleblowing.
00:34:40.960The pathetic irony is that it's encouraging people to break the law and leak classified information because the system is no longer in place.
00:34:49.800These people talk and smoke signals and coded word.
00:34:52.500I've never heard something more obvious that they are calling for these people now since they can't read.
00:34:58.660They don't have access to whistleblow that they want them to be leaking documents and all the documents that these people took with them when they quit their jobs.
00:35:05.020That's how they'll be attempting to wage war against President Trump.
00:36:57.560And the framing of it, these people as unelected bureaucrats or embeds, I think speaks to the idea of someone like Mark Zaid,
00:37:04.580who is essentially a pipeline where they view all these federal employees not as people who are serving the American people.
00:37:10.740We saw that on display, full display, right, during the first impeachment of President Trump.
00:37:14.760These are people who have their own conceptions, their own ideas, their own sort of Washington consensus of what policies should be.
00:37:20.820And any time that something deviates from that, they sort of have these off-ramps,
00:37:25.220these like premeditated ways that they can go about and skirt the system to circumvent whether it's President Trump
00:37:32.000or whatever populist sort of system-wrecking candidate may be in place.
00:37:36.180And I also think, too, Steve, it's important to underscore that the deep state, the permanent political class,
00:37:41.960that in your face, however you want to couch it, the federal employees are just sort of one leg of that stool, right?
00:37:47.840It's people who are on the outside who are equally important.
00:37:50.620So what Doge is doing is wonderful in getting rid of these people, but these are sort of the front men, right?
00:37:56.880The actual players are the Normizans of the world, the Mark Zades of the world,
00:38:00.880and I think that's why USAID touched such a nerve.
00:38:04.520But in sum, I think what you're talking about, and frankly, to link it back to what you saw go on today with, you know,
00:38:10.180Macron, the meeting that they had, you're seeing a reformulation, much like they're talking about, right,
00:38:15.340abolishing the DOE, abolishing all these agencies.
00:38:18.000You're abolishing the civil service deep state idea of what it means for Americans to be an American abroad, right?
00:38:27.080We are abolishing the globalist conception of what America is because we've realized we can't reform it just like we can't reform the DOE, the FBI.
00:38:56.900CNN had a story today, the lead story this morning, that really took my breath away.
00:39:02.220They were talking about either the DOGE and or the John Ratcliffe, Tulsi Gabbard rethinking of the intel.
00:39:10.940And really, as you know, we really want to go after the deep state, that it could leave so many people that had classified information out there to be a national security threat to the United States.
00:39:21.400And I thought, wow, is this – are they actually saying that out loud?
00:39:26.540I mean, it's pretty stunning that the holding us hostage to actually taking apart the administrative state or the deep state because they're saying, hey, these people have so much information, so much knowledge how the government works,
00:39:39.920and in the CIA case, so much highly classified information that they could be a threat to national security.
00:39:48.360Well, I think it's quite obviously sort of this idea of predictive programming, right, in the same way that they use the whole bird flu fear-mongering narrative to try to nuke the RFK confirmation.
00:39:59.480Now they sort of want this idea out there that if any intel documents or any classified documents are supposed to leak, that that's President Trump's fault.
00:40:07.140And frankly, Steve, I think that this all fits in quite nicely with the paradigm of what we have always hammered, which is the idea that sort of the three key instruments that the norm eyes and color revolution people have used to sort of undermine President Trump has always been the idea of getting at his legitimacy and undermining his authority.
00:40:24.200And I think that the attacks, right, the idea that you would have the intel community leaking either against him or just in general threatening America's national security.
00:40:32.900I'm sure you can already see that chyron up on the screen.
00:40:35.640I mean, that's something that because they can't impeach him and they don't have traditional levers of power, I mean, it's a full-blown military-grade psyop, right?
00:40:42.500It's the idea that when President Trump is in control, they like to say America is less safe.
00:40:47.520I'm sorry, President Trump has, what, been in office?
00:40:49.960We're coming on a little after 30 days.
00:40:51.800All the people who, what, for four years told us that we needed Joe Biden were the same people who mocked President Trump and said he was going to embarrass us on the world stage.
00:41:00.660The United Nations, for the first time after 119 Security Council meetings where all they did was continue to fan the flames of the Russia-Ukraine war, for the first time ever, has put out a joint statement between Russia and Ukraine calling for, imagine this, peace instead of continued death.
00:41:15.880That's a huge win for President Trump.
00:41:17.640Sure, the UN is irrelevant, but it shows you how he is actively changing the perception, not just of America, but global affairs on the world stage so that all they can throw at him are these, like, CNN, I was about to say CIA, I guess that's a Freudian slip, psyops, because that's all they have, the media, and they have to undermine his credibility and, you know, continue on that dictator trope somehow.
00:41:38.240So they're going to do it by trying to act like President Trump is a threat to your national security from the very same people who, what, let an invasion of this country to the tune of 15 million people happen in the last four years.
00:41:51.860One of the powers of your reporting has been you focus on personalities in back of these and expose what their motives are, like the Norm Eisen's and Mark Elias of the world.
00:42:00.980Tell me about, we got a minute here, I'm going to hold you through the break.
00:42:04.200He's also a piece of work, is he not, ma'am?
00:42:06.920Well, this is how you know we hit a nerve here in the war room.
00:42:11.080I quote tweeted that article we were just talking about, and Mark Zaid decided to attack me, saying that I lacked basic reading comprehension skills.
00:42:20.740I said, well, my reading comprehension is so good, I remember reading all the YouTube videos, like the young Disney girls, whose videos you used to like about them becoming, and I quote, women.
00:42:32.120But it shows you that we've hit a nerve.
00:42:34.060And frankly, Steve, these people are not used to being called out because it's a very left-wing media tactic to link names to these agendas, right?
00:42:43.720And I'm happy to culturally appropriate that.
00:42:45.820But you need to know people like Mark Zaid, people like Norm Eisen, the deep state.
00:42:50.080These people have names and phone numbers and addresses.
00:42:52.880The people who are trying to destroy this country, it's very clear who they are.
00:42:57.460We don't have to treat them like they're this nebulous entity.
00:43:00.540When they're not used to getting called out, and you can see the second that they get one marginal quote tweet, they melt down.
00:43:05.800And Natalie, hang on, because we're going to talk about judges and people around judges when we return, because the courts have been a way that they're trying to slow down the president.
00:43:16.840So far, as we've said, the president's had a pretty strong hand.
00:43:57.560He's our wise man, a former CIA, Pentagon, and White House advisor with an unmatched grasp of geopolitics and capital markets.
00:44:05.780Jim predicted Trump's Electoral College victory exactly 312 to 226, down to the actual number itself.
00:44:15.160Now he's issuing a dire warning about April 11th, a moment that could define Trump's presidency in your financial future.
00:44:22.200His latest book, Money GPT, exposes how AI is setting the stage for financial chaos, bank runs at lightning speeds, algorithm-driven crashes, and even threats to national security.
00:44:34.420Right now, war room members get a free copy of Money GPT when they sign up for Strategic Intelligence.
