Stephen K. Vance, host of The War Room, joins us to discuss the latest in the ongoing trade war between the United States and other countries, including Canada, Mexico, and the European Union, as well as a potential Supreme Court challenge to President Trump's $333 billion tax increase.
00:38:16.560People who are sort of new to the MAGA movement because of the unfortunate lived reality of Joe
00:38:21.400Biden's economy, which I think we're learning more and more every day, was essentially propped up not just by fake numbers, but by government contracts, by employment for illegal aliens.
00:38:31.480In the same way that MSNBC sort of, I think, chastised the Kamala Harris campaign for saying you guys lost on the economic issues because you tried lying to the American people by saying that their economic reality.
00:38:46.060I think the Trump administration should almost heed that lesson and not, I think, fall victim to the same, I think, messaging pitfalls.
00:38:52.820However, there is a bright spot today, a wonderful article coming out, believe it or not, from Reuters.
00:38:58.040And if I were to say it to you, you probably wouldn't believe me that it's actually them saying it.
00:39:01.700So I'll just read you the quote talking about how President Donald J.
00:39:04.820Trump's tariffs are already working as more and more companies are looking at, quote, expanding their presence or setting up shop in the United States.
00:39:12.160Like I said, that's a direct result of these tariffs.
00:39:14.840They go on to list several companies, including Campari, Kampal Electronics, Essity, Honda, Hyundai, Inventec, LG Electronics, LVMH, Samsung, Stellantis, Volkswagen and Volvo.
00:39:28.220So a nice win in terms of reshoring manufacturing, which I think, as you've always sort of said, is maybe perhaps the first step in reorienting the American economy to be more in line with the America First sort of populist agenda.
00:39:40.320And stopping ceding all of our factories and manufacturing to our mortal threat, which is the Chinese Communist Party.
00:40:01.600Do they have to get a little tighter with the message?
00:40:05.720The actions are there on the policies of the economy.
00:40:09.000Remember, I always told you that middle one about getting through this financial thing is going to be the existential threat.
00:40:13.320Do you believe, as you sit there every day at the White House, that maybe you could have, as Caroline goes up and does a great job, maybe she's augmented by somebody from Treasury.
00:40:23.520Maybe, you know, every other day they're given a detailed, and particularly you bunch.
00:40:29.340These investments back here are just, they've never happened.
00:40:32.840I mean, Biden's, for years, I think they had $1.7 trillion invested.
00:40:59.100Trump's stagflation, which is a bald-faced lie.
00:41:01.240Your thoughts and observations, ma'am.
00:41:03.740Well, look, I think we're lucky to have such wonderful communicators in the form of people like Scott Besson and, of course, Dr. Peter Navarro, right, who's been on the show, hosted the show.
00:41:15.160And I think if you were to put people like that in front of the cameras, they can, I think, explain it in the same way that E.J. and Tony was.
00:41:20.940But I also think that the issue is not so much really on the, I would say, supply side, right, in terms of who we have to message.
00:41:27.720Because you know as well as I do, as this audience does, even if we put up our best communicators, even if you put E.J. and Tony right behind that podium, you think my wonderful colleagues are going to, you know, share that message in the way that you or I are, frankly, any way that comports with the truth.
00:41:44.020So I think in some ways, if you look at all of this as, you know, being interconnected, I think the comms office, the press team really has sort of done to the best of their ability, right, they have taken on these sort of legacy media establishment.
00:41:55.960And I think one way that they can actually push back is through these new media voices, right, who are more willing and eager not to, you know, repeat their propaganda lines like Mother Jones has told us, but just to report the facts.
00:42:07.760And frankly, I think the most effective way to communicate with these people is in their own vernacular, in their tone.
00:42:12.980I think people should be pulling clips of the last four years on MSNBC and CNN and Fox where they talked about the bleak, dismal reality, the lived experience that was Joe Biden's economy.
00:42:25.720If what we have to message is that Joe Biden's economy sucked for millions of Americans, that's a really easy messaging war to win.
00:42:34.620I think we just need to realize that just because you say that, we don't have the luxury, the benefit of the doubt that comes with the wash, rinse, repeat that all the tents not too far away from me have because they control the legacy media outlets, right?
00:43:40.500You wish you could have invested in the stock market last year when investors scored the highest profits in decades?
00:43:46.580But between that mountain of bills and credit card debt, you had nothing, and I mean nothing, left over.
00:43:52.560It's time to stop letting debt hold you back.
00:43:55.640Let me tell you how Done With Debt can help.
00:43:59.380They have a brilliant new strategy designed to tackle your debt and put cash back into your hands so you can save and invest and build the life you've been wanting.
00:44:10.840Done With Debt goes head-to-head with credit card and loan companies.
00:44:14.860Their team of negotiators and legal experts work to significantly reduce your bills, eliminate interest, and erase penalties.
00:44:22.180This frees up cash to invest while the stock market is still hot.
00:45:05.900Yes, well, I think everyone in this audience knows that Democrats are and always will be the party of open borders.
00:45:13.460But when you follow the money, I think that conclusion is only more clear.
00:45:17.320Obviously, Act Blue is sort of the leading financial firm institution that Democrat candidates and PACs use for their fundraising efforts.
00:45:25.340But what I found just breaking today, I think, is quite concerning, showing that really the full-scale invasion of this country, not just under Joe Biden, but his predecessors, too, has been facilitated and funded by Act Blue.
00:45:38.800I was able to go on their website and look at the dozens of organizations that they list as their essentially financial partners.
00:45:47.060And really, from cradle to grave, from start to finish, every single aspect of the invasion of this country, and I use that word intentionally, Act Blue somehow is involved.
00:45:57.680They are the financial intermediary for dozens.
00:46:00.800I'm talking dozens, probably closer to 100 NGOs.
00:46:12.480They're supposed to just be to help facilitate a person sees, is watching MSMEC, as they're free to do, and they see some person from Michigan that's a congressman.
00:46:24.680They're supposed to be able to go on Act Blue and give $10, and it very quickly can go to that congressman.
00:46:29.620It's supposed to be one of these intermediaries between donors, particularly small donors, and people actually running for congress.
00:46:37.500I thought that was their task and purpose of which they're known for, correct?
00:46:43.440Well, look, Steve, don't get me started on the smurfing, right, the idea of all these small-dollar donations coming from the mythical MSNBC viewer that I think is increasingly rare, if not extinct.
00:46:54.800But setting that aside for a second, talking about these NGOs, which I've essentially chronicled, you can go to my X account and look at, I think, probably the longest thread I've ever put out.
00:47:03.920But there are groups like, for example, the Kino Border Initiative or other groups like Border Angels who set up, catch this, water stations along the southern border, along illegal aliens trekking from Mexico up to the United States, setting up resources, like I said, like water, to help them make their journey to the United States.
00:47:25.520Those groups use Act Blue for fundraising.
00:47:27.640Then once they actually get here, groups like Catholic Charities and their Lutheran counterpart, which this audience knows very well, not only do they receive tens of millions of dollars in government grants, but they're responsible for flying migrants from the border right into the interior of the country.
00:47:43.920Then you have another sort of tranche of NGOs that then are working in the communities that these illegal aliens are flown to, to set them up.
00:47:52.840In some cases, they even admit on their website getting them enrolled in public assistance and government assistance programs.
00:47:58.460Also, on the other side of it, you have NGOs that are working on the legal side, providing pro bono legal representation, not just for illegal aliens who are seeking citizenship or green cards or whatever, but including illegal aliens who are detained by ICE trying to avoid deportation.
00:48:16.400Then there's other NGOs that activate, or rather currently are actively engaging in setting up what they call either know your rights campaigns or ICE emergency response hotlines.
00:48:27.760So when you've heard these stories about ICE agents getting doxxed or illegal aliens calling to alert people of ICE in their neighborhood, Act Blue is responsible for funding these organizations.
00:48:38.180And then essentially on the other side of it too, right, all the activists, the organizations, the protests, the mass phone calls and the lobbying efforts, not just to change legislation, but to intimidate ICE, right?
00:48:54.180So what you're seeing is maybe perhaps at best just straight up fraud, right?
00:48:59.680It's kind of a weird convergence between the Democratic Party and the Open Borders agenda, which, like I said, that's not a conspiracy theory to anyone new to the show or rather old to the show.
00:49:08.940But at worst, what you're seeing is that Act Blue is facilitating, in some cases, outright, dare I say, human trafficking, right?
00:49:16.740You're talking about the mass movement of illegal aliens.
00:49:19.840We know that that's a very shady, dark, dark, dark business.
00:49:22.880And essentially the backbone, right, of the invasion of this country, from cradle to grave, from the NGOs that are helping illegal aliens get here, to processing them, to flying them, to providing them legal aid, to become citizens or avoid deportation.
00:49:38.620And if we have time, Steve, I just want to read you how radical some of these groups are.
00:50:00.160So this group, Freedom for Immigrants, helps train Americans to, quote, end detention, so that's abolish all ICE facilities in their districts.
00:50:08.960The Immigrant Home Foundation explicitly advocates for criminal illegal aliens to stay in the United States.
00:50:15.560Immigration Forward is an NGO that lobbies to keep HIV-positive illegal aliens in the United States.
00:50:22.380The, quote, Black Immigrant Collective states that their goal is abolition of all detention centers and liberation for all black people.
00:50:31.180You have the Immigrant Alliance for Justice and Equity of Minnesota, which explicitly works to get illegal aliens on public assistance programs.
00:50:40.620And perhaps my favorite, you have a group that describes itself as a, quote, abolitionist organization that, quote, denounces white supremacy, the patriarchy, and capitalism, and is, quote, pro-black, pro-brown, pro-indigenous, pro-queer, pro-trans, pro-sex worker, pro-worker, pro-woman, and gender minorities, and pro-earth.
00:50:59.640So these are the kind of groups that Act Blue is entangled with.
00:51:03.640And I know people might say, oh, well, it's just a payment processor, but this will be my parting question until we go to battleground.
00:51:09.000If the equivalent of Win Red to the Republican Party, right, the financial backbone of the Democratic Party is fully endorsing, if not outright funding that, which in effect turns into the full-scale invasion of this country.
00:51:22.020I mean, I think we can essentially say case closed on the idea that the Democratic Party is for the full-scale invasion of the United States, because that's what all these really, really, really radical groups, their explicit mission statements are.
00:51:33.540So you can only imagine how much worse it actually is behind closed doors.
00:51:40.520Natalie Winters, you hang on for one second.
00:51:43.140We're going to take a short commercial break.
00:51:44.440We're going to go back to the White House.
00:51:46.980We've got so much in this second hour.
00:51:49.780We're going to take on Fareed Zakaria, his CNN special yesterday.
00:51:54.880We're going to talk to Cleo Pascal about the Drudge Mac Daddy over the weekend that says the Chinese Communist Party has made the Caribbean a lake for the Chinese Navy and much, much, much more.
