Bannon's War Room - Episode 4337： Frontline Federal Leftist Judges

00:00:00.000 The cost you see to the constitutional order of a shutdown that isn't already being done now.

00:00:06.920 It's a dramatic cost. Here's why, Chris. Under a shutdown, it is the executive branch,

00:00:14.080 in this case, Trump, Musk, Doge, and Vogt, who's head of the OMB, who we all know are

00:00:21.040 authoritarians, vicious, nasty, who would have sole control over what is funded and what isn't.

00:00:27.360 But they get to determine what is a, quote, essential service, and they will just cut 0.82

00:00:33.680 to smithereens, far greater than in the CR bill, which is a lousy bill, far greater than

00:00:39.100 that, what could be funded and what couldn't. And there's no recourse. You can't go to court.

00:00:44.060 This is a decision totally in the executive branch. And so it would be devastating. Why

00:00:49.020 is it that Elon Musk and Donald Trump want a government shutdown so they can take control

00:00:54.620 of the government and do their vicious, horrible things? They could cut half the government.

00:00:59.440 They could tell employees you're not essential and never bring them back, permanently firing them.

00:01:04.760 It's a disaster. And in a few weeks, if there was a shutdown, everyone would be complaining and

00:01:11.440 howling. Why did they cut? Why did they eliminate SNAP? Why did they cut so much of Medicaid? But they

00:01:17.700 could do all that on their own. That's the problem. There is no check on them with a shutdown.

00:01:22.740 That's not to say this CR bill is a good bill. It isn't. It didn't have any safeguards in

00:01:27.060 it. But it would be much, much worse to have a shutdown. And my job, Chris, as leader, is

00:01:32.660 to see things a little bit ahead, down the road, and see how horrible this would be and

00:01:36.480 alert people to it.

00:01:37.560 So I want to...

00:01:38.340 Would you... What do you think of the job that Chuck Schumer is doing? Would you ever challenge

00:01:41.540 him, do you think?

00:01:42.060 I think that what we need right now is a United Senate Democratic caucus that can stand up for

00:01:49.080 this country and not vote for cloture and not vote for this bill. And I think that the strength

00:01:55.080 that we have is in this moment. Reconciliation and all of these... Republicans do not need

00:02:00.460 Democratic votes for that. They need it for this. And so the strength of our leadership in this moment

00:02:04.920 is going to demonstrate the strength of our caucus. And I cannot urge enough how bad of an

00:02:10.520 idea it is to empower and enable Donald Trump and Elon Musk in this moment. It is dangerous and it

00:02:16.200 is reckless.

00:02:16.760 Well, the only thing that gets their attention, the only thing that gets them to back down

00:02:19.660 is meeting conflict with conflict. If you meet conflict with essentially managed retreat or

00:02:26.060 strategic non-engagement, then they roll all over you.

00:02:29.860 We are going to conflict with them on everything. On the tax cuts for the billionaires. They've

00:02:36.260 become a plutocracy and oligarchy. On Medicaid. We have plans to conflict them with all of that.

00:02:42.700 If the shutdown occurred, we wouldn't be able to do that because they would fill up both the Senate

00:02:47.940 and the discussion on whether we should cut this and not cut that, of things that they want to cut.

00:02:54.720 So to to have the conflict on the on the best ground, we have summed up in a sentence that

00:03:00.940 they're making the middle class pay for tax cuts for billionaires. It's much, much better not to be

00:03:06.280 in the middle of a shutdown, which to divert people from the number one issue we have against these 1.00

00:03:11.320 bastards. Sorry, these people, which is not only all these cuts, but they're ruining democracy. 0.99

00:03:18.360 And one other thing on a shutdown, on a shutdown, the courts could close or at least be totally,

00:03:25.820 totally disabled. And the courts are one of the best ways we've had to go after these guys. 1.00

00:03:31.760 Colleagues, House Republicans are already using the term Schumer shutdown, which has that nice

00:03:35.980 alliterative, alliterative style. Are you not worried at all about Democrats taking the heat for the shutdown?

00:03:42.100 We know and the American people are are not going to have the wool pulled over their eyes.

00:03:47.880 Everybody knows that Donald Trump is president, that Republicans have the Senate and Republicans

00:03:52.340 have the House. They have the keys to the entire United States government. And if Republicans wanted

00:03:57.740 to avert a shutdown, they can. They can. They can. If they need Democratic votes, then they can

00:04:03.560 negotiate with Democrats to get those votes. It is simple. They have two options to pass it with

00:04:08.960 their votes or to pass it with Democratic votes. And we also see the data bearing this out.

00:04:14.620 When you look at public polling from very reputable firms, we see that the American people understand

00:04:19.860 that. And they know that that the party in charge of government is the party that's in charge of

00:04:24.320 keeping government. This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies, because we're

00:04:35.260 going medieval on these people. I got a free shot. All these networks lying about the people. The

00:04:42.360 people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do

00:04:46.320 everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.

00:04:49.320 And where do people like that go to share the big line? MAGA Media. I wish in my soul, I wish

00:04:56.540 that any of these people had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

00:05:03.480 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

00:05:09.700 War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

00:05:13.120 Friday, 14th, March, Year of Our Lord, 2025. It's going to be another crazy Friday. President

00:05:28.620 will be signing executive orders about one o'clock at the White House, around one o'clock.

00:05:33.460 Sometime this afternoon, the official surrender of the Democratic Party will take place in the

00:05:38.960 Senate as they'll vote to continue on President Trump's government without a fight. And then

00:05:44.880 President Trump, Donald John Trump, the 47th President of the United States, by the way,

00:05:49.900 who is chief executive officer of the United States government. He's commander in chief

00:05:54.180 of the Uniformed Military Services, and he's also chief magistrate and chief law enforcement officer.

00:06:00.760 In that third role of chief magistrate and chief law enforcement officer, he will head

00:06:05.420 to the Justice Department today for remarks, maybe a little Q&A. It's Pam Bondi and I think

00:06:13.020 Cash Patel will be there. We got so much going on. And so the Democratic Party is in a total

00:06:20.100 meltdown. They've been trying to go on offense by going to these red districts to get this

00:06:23.660 big plan of how to do it. Also, they're engaging. They're engaging right wingers in media more

00:06:30.820 than ever. The people that lost so badly for them are in meltdown about that. And just in the

00:06:38.820 middle of this, and they're getting really, I think, pretty significant legal victories, at least

00:06:43.540 with these radical lower court justices. But in the middle of this, Schumer is surrendering today,

00:06:54.600 and that has caused a complete and total meltdown. The House to a person, except for Jared Golden up in

00:07:00.940 Maine 2, which is really a Republican district in Maine 2, voted to shut the government down.

00:07:10.020 And Schumer, I think, is constructed to get eight Democratic votes over, say, Fetterman plus seven

00:07:15.520 or himself. He and Fetterman plus five or plus six to get to get to the eight. A full surrender,

00:07:22.960 and that's really put a chop block of any momentum the Democrats thought they had. So we're going to

00:07:28.700 get into all of this, the geopolitics of it, the capital markets, the economy, economic part of it,

00:07:34.400 gold's over 3,000 this morning, stock market up a little bit at the open. Let's go ahead and play.

00:07:40.260 We've got Besant's comments with Boyle. We've got some swatting victims. One of the things they're doing

00:07:47.380 in the game, much nastier on threats. Everyone I know is getting threats, death threats, other threats,

00:07:52.780 swatting. They're trying to do suicide by cop. We're going to get to all of that. But I got the

00:07:58.880 great Mike Davis. I have an open for Mike Davis because right now of all the fights you see on

00:08:05.120 the legislative side, they're surrendering. They ain't surrendering in the courts, and they're

00:08:09.580 getting some traction because of radical justices. These frontline federal judges are also playing

00:08:17.380 the role of prosecuting the case against the government, against President Trump. Let's

00:08:23.040 go ahead and play and bring in Mike Davis. All right, update. As we reported at the top of the

00:08:27.560 show, a federal judge in California today issued a blistering ruling from the bench in which he

00:08:33.260 ordered the Trump administration to rehire thousands of people they had fired from the

00:08:37.820 federal government at USDA, Defense Department, Energy Department, Department of the Interior,

00:08:41.800 the Treasury, and the VA. Well, I got two updates for you because tonight, just as we are coming on

00:08:47.700 the air, the plaintiffs in that case, the California federal case, the plaintiffs are the union

00:08:52.960 representing government workers. Plaintiffs went back to that same judge in California and essentially

00:08:58.700 said, thank you for this ruling today, Your Honor. Can you please make it so it applies to even more

00:09:04.040 agencies? They have now formally asked the judge to expand that order today to also order the

00:09:09.940 reinstatement of fired employees at the Commerce Department, Education Department, Health and Human

00:09:14.840 Services, Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development, the Justice Department, Department of

00:09:19.280 Transportation, the EPA, NASA, the National Science Foundation, and the Small Business Administration.

00:09:25.140 Update one. Here's update two. Just minutes after those plaintiffs asked the California federal judge to

00:09:31.940 expand his ruling and order even more agencies to rehire even more people, a second federal judge

00:09:39.120 across the country in Maryland issued a ruling in an entirely separate case ordering the federal

00:09:45.040 government also to rehire thousands of fired federal employees. This federal judge in Maryland tonight has

00:09:53.640 just ordered that thousands of fired probationary employees must now be reinstated at, ready for the

00:10:01.840 list, Department of Agriculture, Department of Commerce, Department of Defense, Department of Education,

00:10:06.760 Department of Energy, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development,

00:10:10.600 Department of the Interior, Department of Labor, Department of Transportation, the Treasury Department,

00:10:15.980 VA, USAID, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the EPA, the FDIC, the General Services Administration,

00:10:23.460 the Office of Personnel Management, the Small Business Administration, and the National Archives and

00:10:28.700 Records Administration. All of them. Reinstate all of your fired probationary employees.

00:10:34.340 And if it seems like there's overlap between the list in those two cases, you are correct. As of

00:10:40.880 tonight, just in today's news, we've got overlapping federal rulings ordering the immediate reinstatement

00:10:48.360 of thousands of employees at multiple federal agencies. I'll tell you, the Maryland judge writes in this

00:10:54.680 new order that's just out tonight, quote, the law is clear that when dismissing an employee due to

00:11:01.040 unsatisfactory performance, the employer must honestly be dissatisfied with the probationer's

00:11:07.520 conduct or performance after giving him a fair trial on the job. Again, two federal judges tonight with

00:11:15.260 equally sweeping rulings, both in the same direction, both telling Trump, when you fired those people,

00:11:21.160 you had no right, give them back their jobs.

00:11:26.240 Okay, Mike Davis joins us.

00:11:27.700 Mike, it's more than just, if you think of the

00:11:30.440 obligations and duties of an executive,

00:11:35.620 one is the hiring and firing people,

00:11:37.580 you know, downsizing or increasing,

00:11:40.140 also about where money goes at these first level across the nation in like in San Francisco or in

00:11:49.020 Maryland, they're also issuing injunctions for the entire country. And it's on everything President

00:11:53.860 Trump's doing. It's just not personnel, which they're really ramping up. But it is also restricting

00:11:59.120 payments. I mean, essentially doing an executive does. Can you give us a tour de horizon of where we stand

00:12:06.760 now? Because last night on the shows, they didn't want to talk about Chuck Schumer. Chuck Schumer was

00:12:11.100 the third or fourth story they got to. The first story all night long was their wins in federal

00:12:16.560 court, sir. Again, the American people gave President Trump a broad electoral mandate to cut

00:12:24.460 waste, fraud, and abuse to make our government work for us instead of us working for our government.

00:12:31.120 And President Trump is doing that. That's the unthinkable in Washington. He's actually doing what he

00:12:36.040 promised American voters he would do. And that includes getting rid of these federal employees

00:12:43.500 who do not provide value. These probationary employees who the Biden administration hired over

00:12:50.920 the last year or two, the Trump administration made a determination on an individualized basis

00:12:57.660 through these agency heads that these probationary employees are no longer useful. So they got

00:13:04.480 a pink slip and got sent packing as they should have all these Biden hires, right? And what they're

00:13:10.980 doing is they have these plaintiffs, these unions and these left wing activists running to these

00:13:16.100 left wing activist judges, and they're getting illegal, unconstitutional orders from these activist

00:13:22.580 judges. These activist judges are trying to tell the president of the United States that he does not

00:13:28.360 have power under Article II of the Constitution, the executive power, the power of the chief executive

00:13:34.700 officer as the commander in chief to hire and fire employees, including overseas foreign service

00:13:42.140 officers, including telling the president what he can do for military readiness and morale.

00:13:48.520 This is unacceptable what these activist judges are doing. If these fired employees want to get

00:13:56.240 redress, they go to the Merit Systems Protection Board and they can get monetary damages. But for an

00:14:04.440 activist judge, two activist judges now saying that the president of the United States has to rehire

00:14:11.620 fired executive branch workers against his will, violates Article II of the Constitution. It violates

00:14:18.640 federal statute. These judges don't have the power to do this. Mike, hang on for one second. I'll

00:14:25.580 hold you through the break. The Mike Davis, the Viceroy, joins us live to engage in the judicial

00:14:33.700 insurrection against President Trump.

00:14:51.040 high the first part of 2025 multiple times. It's not too late for you. The company I trust to help you

00:15:56.940 profits in decades, but between that mountain of bills and credit card debt, you had nothing,

00:16:02.880 and I mean nothing, left over. It's time to stop letting debt hold you back. Let me tell you how

00:16:09.860 done with debt can help. They have a brilliant new strategy designed to tackle your debt and put cash

00:16:15.680 back into your hands so you can save and invest and build the life you've been wanting.

00:16:23.040 Done with debt goes head-to-head with credit card and loan companies. Their team of negotiators and

00:16:28.480 legal experts work to significantly reduce your bills, eliminate interest, and erase penalties.

00:16:35.180 This frees up cash to invest while the stock market is still hot. The bottom line is this.

00:16:41.600 Done with debt helps turn crushing debt into financial freedom. That's crushing debt into

00:16:48.420 financial freedom, but some of their strategies are time-sensitive, so don't wait. Start building

00:17:06.440 Here's your host, Stephen K. Vance.

00:17:11.600 Welcome back. If you notice in that first, in the cold open, Mike Davis, the principal reason

00:17:22.700 that Schumer gave for keeping the government open for his basic surrender today is because

00:17:30.900 he feared we would shut down the courts. And he says, this is the way we're winning right now.

00:17:35.860 Can you give your overall assessment? Because this is where, and all their other failures,

00:17:42.460 this is the one place they've gotten traction, sir.

00:17:46.460 It shows you how illegal and unconstitutional this strategy is. The American people elected

00:17:51.920 President Trump. They gave him a comfortable majority in the United States Senate, and they

00:17:57.920 gave him another Republican House. The American people gave President Trump a broad electoral mandate.

00:18:04.660 And these Democrats know they're not going to win in the House so long as the House sticks together.

00:18:10.180 They're not going to win in the Senate. And so they have to run to their activist judges in the

00:18:15.640 courts. They're judicial saboteurs. And remember this, a federal judge's job is a modest but crucial

00:18:21.560 job. They decide cases and controversies before them, with parties before them, with redressable

00:18:29.160 claims. The courts find facts, then they apply the law to those facts, and then they order a remedy

00:18:35.380 permitted by the law. And that's it. Judges wear robes. They don't wear capes. They don't set national

00:18:43.620 policy. They don't, certainly don't set foreign policy. They're not the HR department for another

00:18:50.020 branch. They can't tell the president who he can hire and fire. 0.93

00:18:54.020 Okay, but here's what I don't, here's what I'm, I'm confused about. Corn fused. The president's

00:19:04.140 chief executive, why are they, why are we doing all these backflips that the probationary guys

00:19:09.220 didn't live up to the probation? Then he get into the argument about individual. Doesn't the chief

00:19:13.720 executive have the ability to say, hey, we're going to downsize this company, country, government,

00:19:19.740 and, you know, X amount of people. We're going to start with the probationary because they don't

00:19:23.660 even have officially have jobs yet. And if there's 80,000 probationary period of people, I thought that

00:19:29.100 I heard that might be up to 150,000 that guys would just not, since we're going to be cutting other

00:19:35.620 people later in a series of rifts, um, that the ones that don't have long-term jobs or haven't even

00:19:41.660 qualified, they're still on probation. No matter how you're doing, you can be a superstar. We're just

00:19:46.340 downsizing. And in downsizing, you know, we're not, we're not going through and making evaluations

00:19:51.760 here. Correct me if I'm wrong. We're getting into a debate in the court in San Francisco about who

00:19:58.420 performed, who didn't perform. I mean, that's where the judge went crazy yesterday because the response,

00:20:03.820 our response looked a little, you know, slapped together. But doesn't he, as chief executive,

00:20:09.040 he just had the right to say, hey, just like he has the right to say what you're going to argue on

00:20:13.000 the impoundments. Guess what? I'm not going to spend the money, right? That was, that was a,

00:20:18.340 that was a, the appropriations is a ceiling. And, uh, you know, I'm going to reprogram this or I'm

00:20:25.040 going to, I don't think it's, uh, you know, we need to save money. Uh, Doge has identified this as

00:20:31.060 waste, fraud, and abuse. Yes. I, we put out a CR that, uh, Schumer agreed to, but we're not going

00:20:38.140 to finance waste, fraud, and abuse. So I'm cutting that. And by the way, I'm going to start with,

00:20:42.040 uh, 150,000 probationary periods. Why are we falling into a trap of trying to say these people

00:20:47.880 are good? These people are not good. This guy would come to the office. This guy wouldn't come

00:20:51.540 to the office, sir. Yeah. Congress certainly has the power to set up officers of the United States

00:20:58.020 by statute. Congress certainly has the power of the purse, but the executive power under article two

00:21:04.360 of the constitution belongs to the president and the president alone. He's the chief executive

00:21:10.220 officer. He's the commander in chief. He can hire people. He can fire people. And if you have

00:21:16.280 statutes or regulations, uh, or court rulings that say that the president cannot fire executive branch

00:21:25.040 workers, or he has to rehire them against his will, those statutes, those regulations, those lower court

00:21:33.560 rulings are unconstitutional under article two of the constitution periods, full stop.

00:21:43.160 Um, correct me if I'm wrong. Look, this is your line of country. It's one of the reasons the war 0.99

00:21:48.140 and posse reveres the vice-rory and why president Trump and others in the administration listen to

00:21:54.100 your advice. Um, it seems to me given some of these kinds of arguments, both on the money and the

00:22:00.220 personnel. And this is the way we deconstruct the administrative state and seeing the ferocity

00:22:06.600 of these radical neo-Marxist judges across from DC to Maryland, to San Francisco, I mean, across the

00:22:13.160 country in these, in these radical jurisdictions that, um, and knowing the Supreme court as at least

00:22:20.920 I know him as a civilian, I don't see this getting rectified or sorted immediately. In other words,

00:22:27.480 I don't see this running up the chain of command. And next week we have some clarity. I think we're

00:22:32.680 in a fight now. Am I wrong in that? Or is, is, is, are you and the legal geniuses saying, no,

00:22:39.060 this is a strategy and we got a path to get up there and take essentially take these shackles off,

00:22:44.160 uh, the, the office of the president in doing essentially a restructuring of the American

00:22:50.000 government, sir? Uh, I would advise, and I have advised the president's legal team to continue to

00:22:57.240 charge forward because, uh, the presidency is at stake. Our country is at stake, right? If president

00:23:03.660 Trump would have lost this election, everyone knows we would have lost our country. These Democrats

00:23:09.340 are not liberals who love America. Today's Democrats, too many of them are Marxist who are trying to

00:23:16.040 destroy America. And they have their judicial saboteurs on the bench. These new Biden and Obama

00:23:22.900 judges who are radical leftists, like judge Ali in DC, who is still a Canadian citizen, who's ordering

00:23:31.120 the president to send $2 billion in foreign aid to who knows where Hamas terrorist, maybe waste, 0.96

00:23:40.380 fraud and abuse, certainly. And you have a judge who thinks he can do this. And I would say this,

00:23:44.880 these activist judges are destroying the legitimacy, uh, their own legitimacy by sabotaging the

00:23:53.120 presidency. They are playing a very destructive game, the most destructive game imaginable. And

00:23:59.220 the chief justice needs to understand this. He, he needs to step up. He needs to stop this because

00:24:05.320 when the judiciary loses its legitimacy, the judiciary loses everything. Look, look what Andrew Jackson did.

00:24:16.060 You could not enforce your own orders. You need to rely on your legitimacy to get the executive branch

00:24:22.860 and Congress to go along with your orders. Are you going to send your law clerks and secretaries

00:24:28.660 to enforce your orders? Uh, they need to get the fact these, these activist judges reigned in. These 0.98

00:24:35.900 are activist, radical judges. They are acting illegally. They are acting unconstitutionally.

00:24:41.300 And there is going to be a severe political revolt against the judiciary. If they, if the chief

00:24:48.820 justice does not get these activists judges in line and in line fast.

00:24:56.300 Mike Davis, uh, thank you very much. I think we're trying to get through your good offices. We're trying

00:25:00.960 to get John you on, uh, on today. Uh, I appreciate your help on that. Uh, also give a shout out. Was it

00:25:09.160 Gail Slater? Many of the Neo Brandeisians are now getting in place. And so the, really the antitrust

00:25:15.580 and the take on big tech that you, you have pioneered for many, many years, uh, have, um,

00:25:21.760 are coming in. You want to give a shout out? Yeah, absolutely. I know the Viceroy is highly

00:25:26.260 partisan, but one area where Steve Bannon and the Viceroy are not partisan, uh, is on antitrust. We are

00:25:33.620 working with people like Andrew Ferguson, the FTC chair, Lena Kahn, a Democrat appointee at the FTC.

00:25:41.420 Gail Slater is our friend, uh, Bannon's neighbor, who is the new antitrust chief at the justice

00:25:48.700 department. She's one of my best friends in Washington. Uh, Mark Meador is going through

00:25:53.060 the process. Now, president Trump has assembled the antitrust dream team. They, there is a bipartisan

00:26:00.640 antitrust renaissance to hold these big tech monopolist and other, uh, monopolist accountable.

00:26:08.960 And so we have free and fair markets and we, that is good for, that is good for small businesses.

00:26:15.300 That is good for consumers. So congrats to our good friend, Gail Slater. Uh, you, she just started. 1.00

00:26:21.780 Yeah. Mike, uh, article three, where do people go?

00:26:25.200 Article three project.org article number three project.org. You can donate there. You can follow

00:26:32.380 us on social media. The most important thing the posse does is take action, action, action, action.

00:26:38.340 Thank you, Steve. Thank you. Thank you, brother. Speaking of action, we're going to go to the

00:26:42.660 white house to the sticks. Caroline Lovett live with us. Um, who said that only because of president 0.99

00:26:49.100 Trump, are we here on the verge of brokering a peace deal? He did not know. Steve Whitcoff spoke

00:27:04.200 to him yesterday in Moscow, as you know, has the president spoken with the new incoming Canadian

00:27:09.000 prime minister at all this week? I know earlier this week you said they hadn't yet spoken, but given

00:27:12.680 everything that's going on, to my knowledge, they have not spoken. When they do, we can provide a

00:27:18.360 readout of that call. Yeah, I believe it's still ongoing or it wrapped, uh, when I came out here,

00:27:26.660 but, um, you know, the governor was here to talk about the pipeline that president Trump is very

00:27:30.840 determined to get passed, um, in the new England and New York area. Um, and so, you know, that's as

00:27:38.540 far as I know about the conversation, but I can get an update on it. Caroline, district board rulings

00:27:42.900 about all the fire and probationary workers use the same language here just now that was in the

00:27:46.680 statement about fighting back against that ruling. Do you mean appealing or something else? And does

00:27:50.480 the administration plan to comply with those orders in the meantime? Uh, fighting back by

00:27:55.620 appealing, fighting back by using the full weight of the White House counsel's office and our lawyers

00:28:01.000 at the federal government who believe that this injunction is entirely unconstitutional. And it is

00:28:06.060 for anybody who has a basic understanding of the law. You cannot have a low level district court judge

00:28:11.500 filing an injunction to usurp the executive authority of the president of the United States.

00:28:16.480 That is completely absurd. And as the executive of the executive branch, the president has the ability

00:28:22.320 to fire or hire. And you have these lower level judges who are trying to, uh, block this president's

00:28:29.200 agenda. It's very clear. And as I just cited, I was appalled by the statistic when I saw it this

00:28:34.240 morning in three or in one month in February, there have been 15 injunctions of this administration

00:28:41.560 in our agenda in three years under the Biden administration, there were 14 injunctions. So,

00:28:47.080 uh, it's very clear that there are judicial activists throughout our judicial branch who

00:28:51.720 are trying to block this president's executive authority. We are going to fight back. And as anyone

00:28:56.680 who saw president Trump, uh, and his legal team fighting back, they know how to do it. He was indicted

00:29:01.600 nearly 200 times and he's in the Oval Office now because all of the indictments, all of these

00:29:06.800 injunctions have always been unconstitutional and unfair. They are led by partisan activists,

00:29:11.100 um, who are trying to usurp the will of this president and we're not going to stand for it.

00:29:15.020 Thanks guys.

00:29:24.100 Okay. Um, gosh, I hate to say, I hate to say that we're totally in sync with the White House and what

00:29:31.160 the news of the day are, but you heard Caroline Levitt. Look, this is big. Chuck Schumer is going

00:29:35.520 to essentially, uh, a seed to and sign a surrender document today in the early afternoon. The

00:29:41.520 Democratic party is completely and totally in meltdown over this. Um, the, uh, where they are

00:29:48.740 getting some traction. And I just want people now to, to cause my current thinking is the following

00:29:54.320 is that, um, this is going to grind through. This is going to take a while. You're going to see this

00:30:01.460 fight go on and knowing the, cause as Mike Davis tells you, it's also, it's the law, but it's also

00:30:07.880 politics. When it is, the higher up you go, the more the intense politics and now the radical nature

00:30:13.780 of the judiciary. This is why the confirmation of these judges is so important. This is why I remember

00:30:18.220 on the night of the election when we were sitting there starting to celebrate, we did say, Hey folks,

00:30:22.820 we got to go to work the next day after November 5th. Why Elizabeth Warren put the clarion call out 1.00

00:30:29.840 to Schumer and said, you hadn't done a good enough job. We've just lost the Senate. We have what?

00:30:34.480 Eight weeks, uh, before, uh, Trump's people are here or actually less than that to the new Senate,

00:30:40.300 I think January 3rd. And she said, we have to go approve all those judges and look how many judges

00:30:45.380 they jammed through at the last second. And what do you get? You get the check-ins, you get the

00:30:50.160 barrel barrel barrel house. You get the judge out in San Francisco, 80 years old. I think he's been

00:30:56.360 there 50 years. Didn't he say the other day, 40 some years. Um, this fight in the courts is,

00:31:04.620 and you can see the radical nature. You can also say, see the vitriol against president Trump and his

00:31:11.340 administration. I mean, they're coming in. They're just, they couldn't be more vicious.

00:31:15.140 So that's what we had, Mike. We're going to have John. You, the great John. You is going to join us

00:31:20.640 hopefully about 11 o'clock. John. You is one of the great legal thinkers, uh, on our side of the

00:31:27.580 football. He's written some incredible pieces at Fox and he also wrote a piece at Civitas that laid

00:31:33.380 this entire construct out. Uh, we want to get him because ideas have consequence. Also, Julie Kelly's

00:31:39.280 going to join us tonight on what's happening today in the courts. I will tell you on the two basic

00:31:45.000 things, and this is both Doge's, uh, waste, fraud, and abuse, but it's also going to get into this

00:31:50.820 whole programmatic cuts. It's going to get into impoundment. It's going to get into rescissions.

00:31:55.320 You're going to get into when we got to cut to the, we have to cut to the bone here because we can't

00:32:00.060 afford, uh, paying for this anymore. Not just intruding in your personal life and your,

00:32:05.680 in your professional life, but you just can't afford it. It's not sustainable.

00:32:09.280 They're going to use the courts to try to fight this. The legislative side essentially

00:32:13.240 surrenders today. The activist side, and they're going into red districts, you know,

00:32:17.580 Bernie Sanders and, and, uh, and, uh, Waltz and Waltz is predicating his, his presidential

00:32:22.980 campaign in 28 on this. Bernie, I think is feeling the juice. He's drawn some big crowds. You just have

00:32:28.560 to face facts. Uh, I don't think these Republicans should be canceling these town halls. I think they

00:32:36.600 ought to have security. And if people get out of control and start yelling, screaming, these,

00:32:40.060 these paid democratic activists, or even have democratic people, you got to tell people,

00:32:44.240 Hey, calm down. I'll answer your question. But it seems to me that MAGA has got to show up to

00:32:48.660 these town halls. You shouldn't back off them and make, make the case, make president Trump's case.

00:32:53.200 The case is very straightforward. The case for waste, fraud, and abuse is very straightforward.

00:32:56.720 And it has to happen. Caroline Levitt was there. You saw Scott Besant, the secretary of treasury at

00:33:03.580 the white house that he was in the background. I would hope he would come to the sticks. 0.99

00:33:07.940 We can't get enough of Scott Besant. Do we have, uh, Matt, Matt Boyle did an incredible job

00:33:14.020 from the salmon chase, uh, room, uh, last night where they did the interview. Uh, we've got the first

00:33:21.000 clip up. Let's go ahead and play that. Uh, I'll jump in. Is it, uh, is it, is it ready to go?

00:33:26.260 Let's go ahead and play it.

00:33:29.260 You gave a massive address recently in the New York economic club, uh, in it, you laid out your

00:33:34.200 plan to what you call reprivatize the American economy. We saw there in the previous administration,

00:33:39.900 pretty big reliance for economic growth on government spending. You think that's not the

00:33:45.120 answer. Uh, walk us through how do we reprivatize the economy? What does that mean? Uh, explain that for us.

00:33:50.520 Sure. So one, one of the reasons I came out from behind my desk and asked president Trump,

00:33:55.960 if I could join the campaign, then when he asked me to be in the cabinet was because I was so alarmed

00:34:02.280 by this high level of government spending. We've never seen anything like this highest level ever

00:34:07.560 when we weren't in a war or in a recession. So the Biden administration relied on this blowout spending

00:34:14.460 back to the mainstream media. The, no one criticized it when they were doing it because

00:34:19.880 it was for the great and the good. It was for green programs. It was for this, it was for overseas

00:34:25.540 engagement. Uh, now what we're trying to do is do a course correction where we bring down the government,

00:34:34.420 we deleverage the government and relever the private sector. And we're going to do that by cutting

00:34:40.940 spending, the lowering interest. We'll get a natural lowering of interest rates. And then on the other

00:34:48.540 side, as we relever the private sector, we're deregulate, we plan to deregulate the banking system,

00:34:55.000 which was one of the things I talked about at the economic club of New York last week. So as we allow

00:35:02.020 the banking, as we unshackle the regulated banking system, they can lay, they can lend to private,

00:35:09.380 the private sector and especially, uh, Main Street, which has been overlooked. So small regional banks,

00:35:16.520 small banks, community banks. And so as the government comes down, the private sector will go

00:35:22.680 up. Government will shed excess labor and there's plenty of it. And then the private sector will pick it up. 0.98

00:35:29.680 If you listen to the establishment media talk about this, they will say, um, that the, the shifts that

00:35:36.340 we're talking about here from government dependency to a private sector, uh, for economic growth, uh,

00:35:42.440 may cause a recession, um, that you see that term out there all the time. Um, I would imagine you

00:35:48.400 disagree. Can you explain that for us? Well, I, I disagree. This does not have to cause a recession

00:35:54.060 because look, and again, back to your point on fact-based analysis that for my 35 years from my investment

00:36:03.260 career, I was able to kind of the, uh, not listen to the noise, adhere to the facts. And I can tell you,

00:36:10.540 the facts are, uh, I, I've met with several large bank executives and payment processors this week. Uh, the American

00:36:18.940 consumers in great shape their, their spending, uh, met with one of the five largest bank CEOs today.

00:36:26.540 He said that small, medium manufacturing in the Midwest, they've seen a tick up in loan volume.

00:36:33.100 So, you know, I, I, I disagree with this and where, where were all these people when the Biden

00:36:39.820 administration was blowing out the deficit? Like we could have come in, it would have been easy to

00:36:44.940 come in, keep up these horrendous spending levels. And maybe we could have kept it going for one year,

00:36:51.020 two years, maybe even four years and left the next president and his administration,

00:36:57.180 the American people with this problem, or it could just blow up at any time. So we are laser focused

00:37:04.060 on getting this deficit under control and then growing the economy.

00:37:08.620 I'm so proud of these guys. We're going to hit with some Scott Besson there. And then John, you,

00:37:15.500 when he comes on the structural massive problems with the government right there. And I think we

00:37:21.580 got a CNBC clip. I may call for here in a moment of, of, uh, Scott Besson. He said, Hey, we could have

00:37:27.660 continued on, you know, this massive deficit spending. Now what it would have done, it would have embedded

00:37:32.300 inflation more into the system. But at some point in time, he just had, cause we've kicked the

00:37:38.460 can down the road. We haven't made the tough decisions. You just keep going and going and

00:37:43.340 going. They could have, Trump could have done it. Besson could have done it. They said they're not

00:37:47.740 going to do it. President Trump's transformational. This is why he's talking about hemispheric defense.

00:37:57.100 This is why, uh, this is why he's engaged in stopping the kinetic part of the third world war

00:38:03.420 in the Eurasian landmass. And just, they put it a true social, a moment ago,

00:38:07.580 the cities, they're basically having conversations with Putin and making progress.

00:38:12.940 John Hughes is going to be in a moment saying, Hey, this whole thing had gotten so far out of control

00:38:17.980 with the justice department being so radicalized from the time of Richard Nixon. And what president

00:38:24.220 Trump's trying to do is end, you know, and, and the, the sins of the cure quote unquote,

00:38:32.460 for Watergate. He's trying to stop the addiction to, to massive federal spending.

00:38:39.660 He's trying to stop the addiction to, uh, to the war machine. He's trying to detox,

00:38:47.340 detox. And somebody said, well, Scott shouldn't have used that word. I absolutely should have used

00:38:51.340 that word because that's the, if you, if you tell the truth to the American people

00:38:55.260 and you're authentic and they see that you're going to fight for their interests and explain

00:38:59.900 to them, Hey folks, this is what we're trying to accomplish. The American people will have your

00:39:04.700 back. That's why they had Trump's back in the election. Remember all the guys running around

00:39:09.180 now and they're going to, Hey, you know, you got Mike Allen. They're, they're all trying to come to

00:39:12.620 talk to, uh, uh, right-wing media because they understand we've outworked them out,

00:39:17.820 hustled them and built these kinds of networks out of nothing at a zero, no capital, just basically

00:39:24.060 content. President Trump is not here to do normal things. That's why every day it's so amazing what

00:39:33.340 he's doing are so many different levels. Last night, they, a couple of things they put out yesterday

00:39:38.380 it, Pete Hexas has put together a couple of military options for the Panama Canal, as you should.

00:39:44.860 President Trump already got Larry Fink and, uh, and, and, and, and black black rock. Well, 0.64

00:39:50.780 I'm not huge fans of, but they're kind of guys go right at $25 billion check. And they wrote a

00:39:54.300 $25 billion check to buy out Hutcherson, Wampoa, the, the, the Chinese company, the Hong Kong company

00:40:00.380 that manages the docks and the stevedores, everything down the Panama Canal, the first step to taking it

00:40:06.140 back. Now it's in American hands, the operational part of it. Not all of the, not all of the, um,

00:40:11.740 the, um, the, um, the parts of the canal are still under some parts of the Panamanian government,

00:40:18.140 but that's all going to be quickly ceded to the United States. And president Trump's looking at

00:40:22.540 a couple of three military options. He's still getting military options against the cartels.

00:40:27.820 We were going to have Tom dance on this morning about Greenland. There's a technical issue. We'll

00:40:32.060 get Tom tonight or tomorrow, but, um, you know, he's thinking through his whole thing at Greenland.

00:40:37.220 Everything he's doing is massive. They, they just leaked last night. They're coming forward

00:40:42.020 with the, the aliens act of, uh, 1798 to expedite getting rid of illegal aliens in the country.

00:40:52.500 The aliens act of 1798. They're going to, they're going to, you know, they're going to dust that

00:40:59.440 off and say, bang, we're doing this today. President Trump's going to be sending more executive

00:41:04.340 orders. Everything is signaled with this. They're not, they're not playing on the margins. This is

00:41:10.320 deep in the fights deep. This is why the, about the courts, we're going to have you on

00:41:13.960 and you see right there with Scott Besson. Do we have the CNBC clip? Let me play the scene. How

00:41:20.300 long is it? Just a couple of minutes. Yeah. Let's go and play the CNBC clip. This is consistent.

00:41:27.220 This is what I think is great coming out of treasury and Scott, uh, Besson as a capital markets

00:41:31.560 guy. He's laying out, we're cutting spending. We're going to deconstruct this government.

00:41:36.200 We're going to get the size down. We're also going to get the spending down the Pentagon and other

00:41:39.460 places. They could have taken the easy road, right? They're taking the narrow path. Why are they

00:41:46.420 taking the narrow path? The country has to have it or we're finished. I kept saying that one in the

00:41:50.300 middle about the finances. If you just keep going, that's existential. You're, you're, you're done.

00:41:54.260 You're toast. They're not going to do it. They're attacking this full on. Let's go and play it.

00:42:00.540 You know, when you say that we're in a, when we're in a period of detox,

00:42:05.160 you use that word on CNBC last week, is that a euphemism for recession?

00:42:10.080 Uh, not, not at all. It doesn't have to be because it'll depend on how quickly the baton

00:42:16.420 gets handed off. You know, our, our goal is to have a smooth transition, but I tell you,

00:42:22.300 Sarah, the easy thing, the easy thing for us to have done would have been to come in and just keep

00:42:27.560 this massive spending level going and it's unsustainable. But could we have kept it going

00:42:33.820 for a year, two years, maybe even four? Maybe, but you're risking a financial calamity. So,

00:42:40.180 you know, we are trying to get this tax bill done. We are the controlling expenses. And when we get the

00:42:47.460 tax bill done, so if you can change the trajectory, up revenues, up economic growth, hold expenses flat,

00:42:55.300 or do the unthinkable and cut expenses, then that's, that's a pretty good trajectory on growth.

00:43:02.320 And, you know, if we go back to the model in the nineties, that's exactly what happened. You know,

00:43:06.720 we'd see interest rates come down. We'd see the private sector take up the slack from the government

00:43:11.720 because right now we have excess employment in the government and that the, those people

00:43:18.640 can be moved to the private sector. Move them to the private sector, downsizing,

00:43:26.660 cutting expenses. And the courts are coming back saying, you can't do that.

00:43:30.320 You can't do that. You can't, you can't cut the federal government. You can't cut the bureaucracy.

00:43:34.060 You can't do it. They're fighting. And this is going to go all the way up. I think it's going to

00:43:39.580 take a while. I don't see this getting expedited really overall, because they're going to keep

00:43:43.980 coming. I think you have to bundle it into one thing. We'll ask John you this. You have to bundle

00:43:48.520 it and have an overall decision here because, you know, you're going to go one of these radical

00:43:54.060 sectors like DC to lose at the appellate court and you have to go to the Supreme court or whatever

00:43:59.100 side loses is going to continue on. So this is going to be as, as treasury and OMB are trying to do

00:44:06.100 their jobs. You've got, you know, these unions and all these radicals and you see them cheered on

00:44:12.720 by MSNBC. What, what did Schumer say? Don't miss the signal for the noise. The final decision

00:44:19.240 they made in keeping the government open, their fear is that if they shut the government

00:44:26.960 down, president Trump could do something with the courts and slow it down. And they admitted

00:44:30.500 that's the only place they're getting victories right now. This is going to get tougher and

00:44:37.140 tougher. That tell you also behind the scenes, the polling, it's getting a little dicey. One,

00:44:44.920 I think it's just not being messaged a hundred percent appropriately. That's why I'm glad

00:44:47.840 Besant's more engaged. I hope Russ Vogt gets engaged. I think I'm glad Caroline came out

00:44:53.800 today. I think the white house staff is doing a, um, is doing a fantastic job here. Uh, we

00:44:59.460 want to see more. I think you have more financial. I would also make a recommendation, you know,

00:45:04.920 maybe Howard ought to spend a little more time at commerce, maybe a little less time in

00:45:08.740 the TV studio. A little bit of that goes a long way. If you know what I mean, we got

00:45:14.500 to kind of get on point here. Speaking of getting on point goals through 3000, we've told you

00:48:47.640 me, I want to know, first, I want to pull back the camera and talk to you about the quote unquote

00:48:51.880 tariffs, trade war, how that's affecting the market, impacting the market. And obviously,

00:48:58.040 as you're called shot to the rise of golds over 3000 a day, Jim Rickards, the floor is yours, sir.

00:49:03.300 Sure. Well, I love the fact that every reporter in Washington or lobbyist or whatever is suddenly

00:49:09.080 an expert on tariffs. We haven't heard much about them for a long time, but now that that's all you

00:49:13.540 hear. The fact is, most mainstream economists don't understand tariffs. There are a few who do,

00:49:20.780 Michael Pettis and a few others, and I've spent a lot of time on the topic. As we've said before,

00:49:26.680 tariffs were how the United States grew from 1790, Alexander Hamilton until 1962, when Kennedy signed

00:49:34.000 the Trade Act of 1962. The U.S. always had tariffs. Again, John Quincy Adams, Abraham Lincoln,

00:49:43.520 William McKinley, Coolidge, Eisenhower, they all supported tariffs. The income tax didn't even come

00:49:49.100 in until 1913. How did we finance the Civil War, the Spanish-American War and all the growth,

00:49:54.360 etc.? So terrorists make sense. They basically say to the world, hey, you can sell whatever you want

00:50:00.700 to Americans, no problem, but you have to build it here. You have to invest here. You have to hire

00:50:04.860 Americans. It creates high-paying jobs. That, in turn, drives consumption of the good sort, and

00:50:10.320 not with debt, but with the fact that people can afford things, and the economy grows. So plus you get

00:50:16.060 an awful lot of revenue from it, and all these budget projections you hear about are not really taking

00:50:20.500 into account the at least tens, perhaps hundreds of billions of dollars that we'll actually get from

00:50:26.100 the tariffs. So Trump has that right. It's not some radical new idea. It was an idea that was around

00:50:32.160 for, you know, 150 years, but it was just sort of abandoned during the age of globalization slightly

00:50:38.800 before. So, but the biggest canards, Steve, or the biggest misunderstanding, the Democrats started

00:50:46.100 this in the 2024 campaign, but it kind of caught on. Unfortunately, they said tariffs are a sales

00:50:51.340 tax on the American people. You buy goods, and if you put a 10 or 20 percent tariff on it, that's like

00:50:56.800 a 20 percent sales tax. Well, everyone hates sales tax. I live in New Hampshire. We don't have any,

00:51:01.540 so, but most places do. That's not true. And here's what. There are three parties, at least three,

00:51:08.700 maybe more, but there are at least three parties to a tariff-related transaction. There's the producer,

00:51:13.500 the exporter. It could be in China, Vietnam, or Malaysia. There's the importer in the United States,

00:51:19.180 which is a distributor or a wholesaler of some sort. And then there's the consumer. You might

00:51:24.020 have more metal men, but those three parties. So this idea that this gets laid off on the consumer

00:51:29.240 is absolutely not true. If you thought, I mean, if Walmart and Best Buy and Kohl's and everyone else

00:51:36.160 thought that they could raise prices to consumers, they would do it anyway. You don't need a tariff to

00:51:40.780 raise prices. They would just raise prices. Why don't they? Because they can't, because the

00:51:44.860 consumer can't pay more because the consumer's tapped out. Credit lines are used up, et cetera.

00:51:49.380 There's a lot of what's called inelasticity, sorry, elasticity at that level. People will

00:51:55.040 substitute other goods, get hamburger instead of steak or whatever. The only exception is gasoline

00:51:59.840 because you absolutely need that. So who actually pays the tariff? Well, the importer writes the check.

00:52:05.720 The importer who takes it off the container ship at the port of LA writes the check to the treasury

00:52:10.860 for the tariff. But who bears the economic cost? A lot of it gets pushed back to the producer.

00:52:16.080 The importer calls China, Vietnam, or Malaysia is the case may be and say, look, you've got to lower

00:52:21.060 your prices because lower prices with the tariff comes out about where we were. But this is coming

00:52:26.720 out of your profits and your margins. Or the importer can bear part of it. Again, same result,

00:52:32.140 lower revenues, lower margins. Or they can split it. And that's just an economic decision. But the

00:52:38.080 point is, either the producer or the importer or both bear the tariff. The consumer does not because

00:52:44.500 the consumers can't pay anymore anyway. So that whole sales tax idea is just a complete myth.

00:52:49.800 It's not true. And that's why it's not inflationary. Trump put a lot of tariffs on it in 2018. We didn't

00:52:55.460 have inflation, no significant amount of inflation. Then go back to-

00:52:59.720 Hang on. Hang on. Hold on. Full stop. Hit rewind on that. We got to hammer this point every day.

00:53:07.120 President Trump put the highest tariffs we ever had on the Chinese Communist Party in 18. And in 18 and

00:53:12.020 19, absolutely no price inflation at all on any of the Chinese goods. Am I correct in that, Jim

00:53:17.840 Rickards? Am I correct in that, Jim Rickards? It shows it's a lie, this canard they do every day,

00:53:23.920 and nobody refutes it. You got Spencer Morrison, you got Peter Navarro, you got Jim Rickards,

00:53:29.720 you got three or four guys, and we ought to be out every day. I've told Treasury and White House

00:53:33.460 this, we have to have the first team out there tearing apart the lies that they're putting out

00:53:39.340 about tariffs right now, sir. There is no economic evidence that tariffs cause inflation. In fact,

00:53:45.020 the example we just gave, 2018, Trump piled on tariffs and there was no inflation. The inflation

00:53:51.340 took off in 2022 under Biden, hit 9.1% on an annualized basis. Spending. The Keynesian

00:53:59.160 spending. The Keynesian spending. The Keynesian spending. Jim, hang on for a second. Rickards

00:54:05.940 is going to be with me for most of the second hour. Go to Rickardswarroom.com, you get access

00:54:11.840 to strategic intelligence. Also, you get a free book on capital markets, currency, and artificial

00:54:17.740 intelligence. Next segment, we're going to end here with the right stuff. Rickards got

00:54:25.300 it. President Trump's got it. Our next guest at the top of the hour, John Yu, one of the

00:54:30.200 great brains on the legal side in the conservative movement is going to join us. We're going to

00:54:36.460 talk about, you heard Matter last night, the court in San Francisco, in Maryland, Mike Davis

00:54:42.420 led it, these fights we have against these radical neo-Marxist judges. John Yu's going

00:54:47.900 to say, we're here to end the sins of the post-Watergate era, of what was done at the Justice

00:54:55.600 Department and the federal bench. Short commercial break. John Yu joins us next in the war room.
