Rachel Maddow's interview with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-cortez is a perfect example of why the Democratic Party needs to stop being milquetoast, and start standing up for the people who are most affected by the current state of affairs in our country.
00:12:13.920We'll oversee the deal and we'll let, we'll let people breathe free over time.
00:12:17.760That's what President Trump's doing from Canada and the Arctic down to the Panama Canal.
00:12:24.160We obviously have to free our, our colleague in our, our, our comrade, Bolsonaro, who looks like he's going to go to 40 years of prison if we don't somehow intervene with the corrupt judges down there.
00:12:36.280It was leaked yesterday that, that they were trying to roll up, I think, Tucker Carlson and myself and trying to charge us also as outsiders for supporting a coup d'etat because what we said on air, hey, my question, my response to you, Brazil, bring it.
00:12:55.360You guys are corrupt as they come and Marx as they come and you got the Chinese Communist Party all over you.
00:12:59.820At the same time, remember, we always said the three lines of work immediately for Trump is stop the kinetic part of the third world war, which he's doing.
00:13:07.320Then the mass deportations, which, let's be blunt, we're a little hung up, trying to get the criminals out, the sanctuary cities, but this, this collapse of ice and the collapse of what Biden did internally, $175 billion, which is kind of in this reconciliations bill.
00:13:24.020We have not even begun or commenced even, I think, the process of mass deportations, but the third, the third one that's the most important, the existential crisis, is this, is the spending and to sort this thing out.
00:13:39.840Now, it's announced tonight the House is going to vote on their first, on this budget, I don't think he's got the votes, I think it's 15 or 20 short, and some of the smartest voices there, you know, MTG and Warren Davidson,
00:13:52.280who don't agree on a lot, are both putting out tweets saying, hello, don't we have a CR coming on the 14th, we got to figure this out, and MTG, Marjorie Taylor Greene saying, hey, beware the Ides of March.
00:14:07.120She's throwing down right now and says, hey, I don't see a CR for the end of the year.
00:14:10.240Warren Davidson is saying, and Warren Davidson's, you know, kind of a fiscal conservative, he's sitting there going, look, I don't want to hear any budget reconciliation until somebody kindly tells me what we're going to do on the CR to finance the rest of the year.
00:16:44.620I just want to touch upon, real quickly, the Harvard poll that came out that had—thank you very much—the Harvard poll that came out had you up nine-plus points.
00:16:53.060And all of your agenda that you ran on, you're accomplishing that.
00:16:57.240You got the support of the American people, including stopping the war in Ukraine.
00:17:01.180If you can comment on the latest Harvard poll, I'd appreciate that.
00:17:05.160It was a big poll, and it's usually a poll that leans on the other side of things, the other side of the world, so to speak.
00:17:11.800But the Harvard poll is a respected poll, and it has us not only leading, but leading by a lot and leading on every single issue that we've talked about.
00:17:21.960And as I said, we've become the party of common sense, and I think that's a very important element now, common sense.
00:17:27.640It's because what's happening in the world and even in this country, some of the things that took place, many of them are now canceled, and the rest are being canceled as we speak.
00:17:39.660The poll we talked about with Brian Glender in the day, Brian got a question.
00:17:43.840As folks at home should understand—or let me explain something.
00:17:47.040There are major journalists that worked their entire life to get a question, but much less the first question and called by name by the president.
00:17:57.600I think that shows the respect that President Trump has for the work that Brian Glenn and Real America's Voice—
00:18:04.480and we've made a major commitment to the White House and covering the White House nonstop.
00:18:09.280Amanda Head, Natalie Winters, Brian Glenn, plus an entire team up there.
00:18:12.560And just so people know, because I'm going to talk about the House and what's going on up there in a minute,
00:18:17.120I mean, Brian was a key asset up at the House, but he's doing such a great job in the White House that we're going to restaff and get back to our House coverage.
00:18:26.580Brian, and it was also a perfect question because it set up the entire conference.
00:18:32.000You framed it that, hey, you're doing all these different things.
00:18:35.820You know, you're running to the sound of the guns and everything.
00:18:38.220The Harvard-Harris poll, which is a very respected poll, was quite frankly stunning.
00:18:45.580Not just that President Trump, his approval rating is up by nine.
00:19:22.980When President Trump is pulling 70, 75, 80, that means all the Republican Party, but more importantly, the basically 80 percent of the independents or 90 percent of the independents are with him.
00:19:37.520People that are not really affiliated with a party or don't consider themselves partisan.
00:19:42.720This is just a rump, hardcore Democrat, which is never, ever going to approve President Trump.
00:19:49.500Brian Glenn, it was a perfect question.
00:19:51.100His response was also terrific, and you stuck the dagger in to Macron to say, even on ending the Ukraine war.
00:20:00.380Brian Glenn from the White House, your thoughts, sir?
00:20:05.180Well, Steve, first of all, thank you for sending that Harvard poll to me and your staff as well, because I was not aware of that until you sent it to me.
00:20:12.320And then as I was reading it over, I thought, this is perfectly.
00:20:15.880This is exactly what I'm going to ask, because I knew that no one else in that room, Steve, would have asked the president that question to get his thoughts.
00:20:24.220But more importantly, Steve, I wanted the foreign press and all of those watching us around the world to know that President Trump has so much support for the American people,
00:20:34.960not just on the war in Ukraine of ending it and stopping the conveyor belt of American tax dollars, but also on immigration, also all the other key issues that that Harvard poll looked at, it reviewed, and you've laid it out perfectly.
00:20:50.200It's just not all Republicans support this.
00:20:53.320It's people that have been maybe agnostic in politics to begin with, people that have been independent, maybe moderate Democrats, now can agree.
00:21:02.540And he often says, Steve, we are the party of common sense, so it is my honor to be here.
00:21:14.300No one has the right to walk in here in that briefing room or even in the Oval Office or the East Room, so I take it very seriously.
00:21:20.160But I do appreciate the president calling me out for these questions, and I'm just trying to reflect what America feels.
00:21:29.120And I want to ask the questions that the War Room Posse has, and that is, as the average person sitting at home, they're not getting that representation in the briefing room.
00:21:38.200They haven't gotten it in a long time, but they have it now, and I'm just honored to be here, Steve.
00:21:47.820Yes, I also think it's a revolution of common decency.
00:21:50.500I think when you look at President Trump's, the policies he's talking about and how he's trying to implement them, it's kind of the merger of both of those.
00:22:00.940Unlike, I can say this from the first term, when we won at the very, you know, we closed hard, won at the end, did not have things like Project 2025 or America First Party Institute, Brooks Rollins' team, or Stephen Miller didn't have years working on these policies.
00:22:17.380The difference is you can back up the punch, and you have muzzle velocity on these, that even people that are low-information voters like what they see.
00:22:26.160Now, as you know, the Warren Posse and Real America's Voice, we drill down and we give you a different take on the news of the day, unlike anything, including Fox News, to get into the details.
00:22:36.800The reality is that the White House is punching hard, and you know how hard they're punching, Brian, probably better than anybody.
00:23:05.000But – and I've been – somebody said, hey, I don't think they're – I think they're at least a week away because they don't have the votes.
00:23:10.780Rusty Johnson's just coming out – excuse me, Dusty Johnson, I think it is, from South Dakota.
00:23:16.740You know, not a favorite of ours, but he just said on the CR.
00:23:27.480And she hit to the thing that we've been talking about.
00:23:29.800Hey, the way it's going now, none of the doge – we're going to finance all the waste, fraud, and abuse for at least the rest of this year that doge has pointed out.
00:23:38.220So Johnson's just come out, Brian, and he's saying, hey, we're going to need Democrat votes to keep the government open on the 14th.
00:23:47.280Now, we have preached this gospel since before the beginning of the year when the can was – when we kicked the can down the road in mid-December to get to this date.
00:23:57.480Brian, knowing what you know on the Hill, knowing what you know on the White House, right now I don't – I think there's a lot of coordinated work happening on the reconciliation.
00:24:09.700President Trump's one big, beautiful bill, that's what Johnson's focused on.
00:24:13.380I don't think there's enough on this CR, which to me is the first order of importance.
00:24:19.040And this morning you get MTG putting up the red flag.
00:24:21.980Warren Davidson and MTG don't agree on a lot.
00:24:56.380What's the message are we sending the American people that we not only elected President Trump and get his agenda, the full agenda passed, and we voted on that.
00:25:05.980And he's obviously getting that train down the track.
00:25:09.500But then we look at the budget and we're looking, okay, what are we willing to cut?
00:25:23.620It's now at the Capitol, not the Rayburn building.
00:25:26.400But imagine all of these things that we're discovering, all this waste, all this fraud, all these things that we can actually cut and reduce.
00:25:34.780But instead of doing that, we continue to kick the Nancy Pelosi budget down the road.
00:25:43.200What message does that send to the American people?
00:26:01.560How do you go back to Elon and say, oh, by the way, all the work that your Doge guys are doing, everything that you're exposing,
00:26:08.920and quite frankly, MTGs, the 2.6 trillion, that is really a government report, they actually admit, and I think this goes back to 2004, so it's been a while, but it's still 2.6 trillion in Social Security and Medicare that have gone to people that shouldn't have gotten the receipts.
00:26:29.220I don't know how you go back to Elon and say, oh, by the way, because of this, the way we've got a structure, we're actually going to kick the can down the road to the 30th of September of this year for this fiscal year.
00:26:40.100And it's going to have Biden's numbers, it's going to have a $2 trillion deficit, and Elon, all the work you've done, we are actually going to finance all of that for this year.
00:27:08.060And I've said this, the reconciliation is fine.
00:27:11.260We've got to press through that, although I don't think there are nearly enough cuts, and the cuts are not thought through.
00:27:17.120But somebody's got to get a reality check.
00:27:19.260We've got to take care of the compulsories.
00:27:20.980We had to do that first, and we ought to just get the cards on the table.
00:27:24.940If Speaker Johnson and the leadership are going to say, yes, we want a one-year extension CR that takes us through September 30th, and here's what the reality is,
00:27:36.880those cards should be put on the table.
00:27:40.280And someone should sit the president down, the president of the United States, and say, here's exactly what it is.
00:27:46.840And, oh, by the way, we don't think we have Republican votes for this because you're at least going to be 15 or 20 short.
00:27:52.160We're going to have to depend upon Democrat votes or the government's going to shut down.
00:27:56.460Now, Elon might say, hey, maybe that's what we need because we need to see who are the true important employees of the federal government and who are not.
00:28:07.080Brian, hang on for one second, will you?
00:28:08.880Brian Glenn's at the White House recovering today the grind.
00:28:13.740President Trump is trying to restructure the world's politics and strategic relationships and the geoeconomics that come from that.
00:28:23.040At the same time, he's dealing with a recalcitrant political class here in the imperial capital.
00:30:58.300Are you telling me that she may come in a little hot today at this press briefing?
00:31:04.580I'm hearing today's briefing is going to be pretty saucy, pretty hot.
00:31:09.640A lot of stuff going on, obviously, in the news.
00:31:13.580But then you also have perhaps the Associated Press kind of pushing back the latest news that they are planning on suing President Trump,
00:31:23.400Caroline Levitt, Taylor Budowich, and everybody involved in banning them from the Oval Office and then on Air Force One.
00:31:32.220So maybe they come out with some additional information on that, or maybe they just double down on all of the talking points that they've been putting out.
00:31:40.800But Caroline Levitt, and you said this earlier, she is a gem.
00:32:06.160Just right up in the grove, as you have to be.
00:32:09.000You always have to be on offense in this thing.
00:32:11.520This is my problem with the Bardella guy in France.
00:32:15.060If you're going to roll over, and of course, the great Byron York put up today, you know, Kamala Harris from a year or two ago, a couple years ago, waving to the crowd.
00:32:26.080It looked like she was throwing a Roman salute, and he said, this stuff's absurd.
00:32:30.000You've got to be on offense all the time.
00:32:31.520That's what Caroline Levitt, and Caroline Levitt learned that in these tough races she ran up in New Hampshire, which is a tough battleground, a tough fight for particularly a MAGA Republican.
00:32:42.660So we have 1 o'clock, 3 o'clock, executive orders.
00:32:45.560I don't know if that's going to be live, but you're going to be in there when the president signs additional days of thunder, years of lightning, executive orders, sir?
00:32:52.460Yes, I will be in there at 3 o'clock, and because of the nature of these things, they're pushed out slightly after they happen, so it's a live-to-tape situation.
00:33:04.240So as soon as it concludes, whatever time that does, it could be 3.30, it could be 4 o'clock.
00:33:09.460We don't know how long that's going to take, but we'll push it out as soon as it's over.
00:33:12.120Okay, and then we're going to be back at 5.
00:33:16.560We're going to be covering all this throughout the day.
00:33:18.920Tomorrow at 11 o'clock, MTG subcommittee on Doge, which is important because she's going to bring up the fact of the CR on the 14th.
00:33:30.000Brian, you've committed now subject to nothing huge coming at the White House.
00:33:34.240You're actually going to go down to the Hill for coverage of this tomorrow at 11 o'clock?
00:33:38.360Yeah, I'll be in there, and here's kind of a side note on this thing.
00:33:43.060Originally, this was scheduled to be in a subcommittee room in the Rayburn House building, but because of the nature of it, it's going to focus on USAID and all the fraud that's obviously been brought in the news in the last 30 days or so.
00:33:57.560They've moved, and they've got a bigger room, Steve.
00:33:59.720They're going to be in the Capitol at one of the committee rooms there, so anticipate a lot of fireworks.
00:34:05.080I mean, we saw what happened, Rep. Garcia out of California actually saying on CNN about using actual weapons to fight this, and so the Democrats are not going to lay down on this at all.
00:34:16.660It's amazing, Steve, that the Democrats want to defend finding fraud and abuse in our government, but that's the reality.
00:34:26.480This is such a key point is that, remember, there's two things going on about getting a spending down.
00:34:34.340One is programmatic, and people are working that.
00:34:37.620That's where you've got to take programs down and billets, and that's going to get to Medicaid, social programs, particularly the Pentagon, and that's going to be brutal and tough.
00:34:47.640The other is just inefficiencies in the system or waste, fraud, and abuse.
00:34:51.960That is literally what Doge, at least right now, is doing.
00:34:56.140And I can understand, Brian, to your point, the Democrats having a political fight with us, which we should on programs.
00:35:04.220That's got to be a hotly contested debate, and you're going to have different coalitions doing different things, right?
00:35:12.440But the waste, fraud, and abuse ought to be pretty straightforward.
00:35:32.180If 2.6 trillion is found going out in the Social Security, Medicare fraud, waste, and abuse, which, by the way, it's not Doge that found that.
00:35:42.420That was inspector generals and others.
00:36:12.920But that's what the Democrats are just blanketing these statements, that your Medicaid, Medicare is going to get cut, your Social Security is going to get cut.
00:36:21.040But that's how they're fighting us on misinformation.
00:36:25.220But, you know, Steve, I would think that the public, the people are smarter than that.
00:36:29.520I think, I would hope so at this point.
00:36:32.080But, yeah, dead people getting, and by the way, I heard last night.
00:36:39.360I was going to say, I heard last night that even COVID payments were going to people who have never even been a U.S. citizen.
00:36:47.640These are people who's never even been in this country.
00:36:51.260How they get their information, I have no idea.
00:36:53.360But that's just the beginning of just so much.
00:36:56.620It's a revolution of common sense, but we have to get the information out.
00:37:00.480That's what I'm so proud about, this channel and the show and what you're doing.
00:37:03.800You're up, you know, you've moved from Capitol Hill up to the White House, done an amazing job.
00:37:07.380The president calls you for the first question.
00:37:10.580And the first question is the best question that was asked because it framed the rest of the press conference.
00:37:17.600And it kind of put Macron right on notice that, hey, the American people support this guy overwhelmingly, President Trump, his policies overwhelmingly, particularly bringing the Ukrainian war to an end.
00:37:32.320And President Trump dropped hammer blows during that press conference.
00:38:06.940If we can pull, Axios had a lead story today that actually I want to thank Jim Vanderhay and Mike Allen, who, as you know, are not with us politically, but they put a great piece up.
00:38:21.600And if Grace and Moe can get that into the chat room, I want everybody, we'll put it up on our site, too.
00:38:26.860I want everybody that watches the show, this is one of the things we'll put into the email today.
00:38:30.560When we put the clips and we put different things out there, particularly things we want you to read, or go to my Getter account.
00:38:37.720It's easy to put, if you just go to Getter, simple app to download, you can get all access to my thinking 24-7.
00:38:45.160Again, I'm going to come back to this.
00:38:47.180A very, very important, very important, they kind of break down the basic numbers and they bifurcate Doge from kind of, you know, ongoing government spending.
00:38:56.700And it shows you the hurdle we've got.
00:38:58.500But we're going to have very, very, this is going to be tough.
00:39:03.120We told you, you don't, I mean, I don't need to reinforce that to you.
00:39:06.440We haven't said, man, the ramparts yet, because we're trying to see what's the smartest way to play this.
00:39:13.000Because you've got to be very smart in doing this appropriately.
00:39:15.640But right now, when Dusty Johnson says there are not enough Republican votes to keep the government open, that means it's the Warren Davison MTG.
00:39:25.360You're seeing people say right now, well, hang on, we're not comfortable with a, you know, basically an omnibus CR that takes us to the end of the year that does include Doge.
00:39:35.220Has a $2 trillion deficit, and it's Biden's numbers.
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.
00:44:41.000This is Jim's flagship financial newsletter, Strategic Intelligence.
00:45:04.140You know, Philip Patrick told me yesterday that a, he's a term professor, I think, at the University of Arkansas that is using the end of the dollar empire for students to read.
00:45:14.760And I'm really happy about that because what we try to do is take college level or MBA level analysis and make it accessible to people that haven't had the opportunity to maybe take college economics or college finance.
00:45:45.980We're fighting a spiritual war, but it manifests itself in these really tough fights.
00:45:51.420We think it's very important for a working class and middle class audience to understand how the system works.
00:45:56.720Once you understand how the system works, you realize what a fraud a lot of it is and how it's used by the ruling class to just empower themselves and enrich themselves, to be brutally frank about it.
00:46:10.720And Semerford today, the great Shelby Talcott over there has a, a great piece on how president Trump's going after the administrative state and the deep state for the alphabet agencies.
00:46:23.540He's doing it with both doge, but they're also doing it in the different departments and he's doing it legally to take this apparatus apart.
00:46:30.800He's being sued in federal court all the time, but he's winning right now.
00:46:34.300She makes the, she makes the, you know, most important point that eventually this leads to the fed just is they're going to review every agency of the government, including the post office and the federal reserve.
00:46:50.580So the end of the dollar empire gives you an understanding of currency and prime reserve currency and what the BRIC nation is about, what our debt means, what deficits mean, all that.
00:46:59.700And the latest one, because we're a huge believer here in the war room, that ideas have consequences about this modern monetary theory.
00:47:08.800And once you read it, you'll understand that your betters, right?
00:47:12.140The, the, the folks on wall street and the capital markets and the corporatists all bought into a radical French idea that deficits don't matter.
00:47:21.500And that you could wait for, if it ever got to be a problem, like you had the business cycle came back and you had a major recession that you could just automatically raise taxes.
00:47:30.360Well, that's not that easy as we're going to see here in this fight.
00:47:35.560And, uh, Semaphore also has another on their exclusives, a analysis that's done a new poll out that 50%, that is five, zero percent of Republican voters believe that in a, in a, in a crunch, like a crunch we're in now, that taxes on the wealthy should be raised or are open to that 50%.
00:48:02.580Candace Taylor and going to ye of pure of heart and pure of intention with your righteous indignation.
00:48:12.080What are the one or two things that you will commit to the folks in, uh, in Georgia, in, in, in this congressional district in Southern Georgia, that is deeply religious.
00:48:23.680What will you commit to them that you will do as a Congressman?
00:48:29.240Well, if I could just say two things, I would quit killing babies and I would put prayer back in schools.
00:48:35.860Those would be my two things I would work hard for.
00:48:38.180But Steve, I want to say that we need to pass the baton to a younger generation.
00:48:43.500It's time, you know, these people like Mitch McConnell, you see them glitching on TV.
00:48:47.640You see, you see that they are geriatric patients and they're still there in, in the Senate and in the House.
00:48:53.920And it's time that we stop being obsessed with power and that we find people who are educated and who are passionate and who are ready to represent the people, right?
00:49:05.760We're supposed to represent our constituents.
00:49:08.040We're supposed to be public servants and that they go with the fortitude and the knowledge to protect the Constitution with fresh new ideas.
00:49:48.500We're experiencing that right now in the first district with the Okefenokee Swamp being sold out to UNESCO.
00:49:53.860And so we are working very diligently, grassroots effort, to get to the Department of the Interior and make sure that they don't actually sign off on UNESCO, the United Nations, coming in and taking over our swamp.
00:50:05.940It is vital that that does not happen.
00:50:09.340We have Native Americans buried there.
00:50:11.760We have a huge interest in the swamp and we want to protect it.
00:50:16.660And the people of Georgia have protected it for generations.
00:50:19.400Give our audience, particularly the national audience and the global audience, just give us a minute on what you're talking about because they think this is another right-wing religious fanatic that's dreamed up some conspiracy theory tied to the United Nations.
00:50:37.900So can you give us a minute and explain exactly what this is?
00:51:02.620But then the UNESCO is going to come into America and oversee everything and dictate what happens there.
00:51:09.080And so I don't know why environmentalist groups on the other side are not just having a fit and saying what is going on here and actually pitching a fit.
00:51:28.420Governor Kemp, whether you like him or don't like him, has one of the best well-oiled political machines in the United States.
00:51:37.280President Trump, as beloved as he is and powerful as he is and is beloved by people in Georgia, actually a couple times have gone up against that machine with candidates he's endorsed and not won.
00:51:48.000I'm sure the Kemp apparatus is not thrilled that you're running in a primary.
00:54:35.360I'm really trying to fill this gap of quality supplements.
00:54:40.340And, of course, the beef liver being our flagship product.
00:54:43.420For those who don't know, beef liver is loaded with highly bioavailable ingredients such as vitamin A, B12, zinc, CoQ10, etc.
00:54:52.260And 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.
00:55:05.360So we have some other amazing products.
