00:00:00.000 It is performed.
00:00:01.080 Set on.
00:00:02.800 And leave no ceremony out.
00:00:06.480 Caesar!
00:00:08.840 Eh?
00:00:10.000 Who called?
00:00:11.000 Let every noise be still.
00:00:13.540 Peace, get it again!
00:00:14.940 Who is it in the press that calls on me?
00:00:17.220 I hear a tongue shriller than all the music.
00:00:19.160 Cry Caesar.
00:00:20.780 Speak.
00:00:22.320 Caesar is turned to hear.
00:00:24.700 Beware of the Ides of March.
00:00:30.000 What man is that?
00:00:34.140 A soothsayer bids you beware the Ides of March.
00:00:38.660 Set him before me.
00:00:40.060 Let me see his face.
00:00:41.900 Hello, come from the throng.
00:00:54.840 Look upon Caesar.
00:00:57.720 What sayest thou to me now?
00:00:59.260 Speak once again.
00:01:01.780 Beware the Ides of March.
00:01:07.000 He is a dreamer.
00:01:08.940 Let us leave him.
00:01:11.800 Pass! 0.99
00:01:12.480 Pass! 0.99
00:01:12.520 Pass! 0.99
00:01:13.040 Pass! 0.99
00:01:13.480 Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears.
00:01:30.220 I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.
00:01:35.400 The evil that men do lives after them.
00:01:38.920 The good is often turd with their bones, so let it be with Caesar.
00:01:45.780 The noble Brutus hath told you Caesar was ambitious.
00:01:48.440 If it were so, it was a grievous fault, and grievously hath Caesar answered it.
00:01:56.020 Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest, for Brutus is an honorable man, so are they all, all honorable men.
00:02:02.120 Come I to speak in Caesar's funeral.
00:02:04.760 He was my friend, faithful and just to me.
00:02:11.940 But Brutus says he was ambitious, and Brutus is an honorable man.
00:02:18.540 He hath brought many captives home to Rome, whose ransoms did the general coffers fill.
00:02:25.520 Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?
00:02:27.920 When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept.
00:02:32.600 Ambition should be made of sterner stuff.
00:02:34.860 Yet Brutus says he was ambitious, and Brutus is an honorable man.
00:02:40.120 You all did see that on the Lupercull, I thrice presented him a kingly crown, which he did thrice refuse. 0.66
00:02:48.920 Was this ambition?
00:02:50.840 Yet Brutus says he was ambitious, and sure, he is an honorable man.
00:02:58.980 I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke, but here I am to speak what I do know.
00:03:04.160 You all did love him once, not without cause.
00:03:13.840 What cause withholds you then to mourn for him?
00:03:18.260 O judgment, thou art fled to brutish beasts, and men have lost their reason.
00:03:27.620 Bear with me.
00:03:28.940 My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar.
00:03:40.620 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:03:45.480 Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.
00:03:50.740 I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
00:03:55.020 The people have had a belly full of it.
00:03:56.980 I know you don't like hearing that.
00:03:58.100 I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
00:04:01.060 It's going to happen.
00:04:02.340 And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
00:04:05.720 MAGA Media.
00:04:07.040 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:04:12.460 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:04:16.300 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:04:22.440 War Room.
00:04:23.460 Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann.
00:04:28.100 Saturday, 15 March, Year of Our Lord, 2025.
00:04:35.080 It's the Ides of March, and that's our tribute annually.
00:04:39.060 It didn't last a couple of years for the assassination of Julius Caesar.
00:04:44.900 I don't know, over 2,000 years ago.
00:04:47.280 Of course, it's relevant in that, and if you saw the meltdown last night, we'll get to play all the media, not just about the meltdown regarding Schumer's surrender on the Schumer shutdown, but also President Trump.
00:05:06.000 President Trump going to the Justice Department.
00:05:09.980 I told you what they were going to say.
00:05:11.180 It was a desecration.
00:05:14.040 It's a desecration.
00:05:15.820 They were using that term all last night on CNN and MSNBC.
00:05:19.420 You know, the three things, besides the Capitol, it's the Kennedy Center and the Justice Department.
00:05:24.740 It's like Trump's people are unworthy to set foot in there.
00:05:30.500 Ever since we seized control of the Kennedy Center, you know, all these groups, you know, the Hamilton guys have quit.
00:05:40.620 All these other musical groups have quit because Rick Cornell's canceled some of the more un-American and unappetizing programming.
00:05:50.580 There's been a bunch of pushback.
00:05:53.400 We told you that that was like their high church, the deep state that runs Washington, D.C.
00:05:58.280 And J.D. takes his wife to the other night, vice president of the United States, goes to see a concert, Philharmonic concert, and he's booed.
00:06:08.560 And I mean, booed loudly by this pack of jackals is what they are.
00:06:12.560 Grinnell comes out with a very nice, you know, statement that, you know, where diversity is our strength.
00:06:19.900 I think that was a heckle.
00:06:22.680 But, you know, a very nice statement.
00:06:24.980 However, they're not going to tolerate that kind of behavior, et cetera, et cetera.
00:06:28.100 The other temple they have in the imperial Capitol is the main justice.
00:06:35.800 And President Trump, according to them, desecrated that temple yesterday.
00:06:40.840 And he threw down hard.
00:06:42.100 If you look at the work that's unfinished, and he said, and I hope these investigations are underway, I think they are.
00:06:51.480 I hope they are, because he gave them a big, you know, a big writ to go through as the chief magistrate.
00:06:58.260 We had John Yoo on yesterday, the great public intellectual about all things legal, and he talked about the end of Watergate.
00:07:09.960 Remember, Jeff Shepard, we've had on here a couple of times, has these two books about the real Watergate, what really went on at Watergate.
00:07:17.540 And it's not Woodward and Bernstein running around.
00:07:21.860 And when you see that deep throat, in case you're not totally up on it, that was the deputy of the FBI, Mark Felt.
00:07:30.300 That would be Dan Bongino.
00:07:32.360 And Dan Bongino's last broadcast, if you didn't see it, you should.
00:07:35.800 There's a great clip up there of Dan saying goodbye, at least for now, to his audience.
00:07:40.020 As he steps in Monday, Dan, or I'm sure he's there today, but Dan officially will be there on Monday.
00:07:47.440 Dan Bongino.
00:07:48.100 Dan Bongino's billet deputy was Mark Felt.
00:07:51.080 That was deep throat.
00:07:52.380 And he gave him a lot of inside information.
00:07:54.440 I mean, essentially what those guys came with was almost nothing.
00:07:59.180 I mean, the movie's fantastic, the book, but it's, I'm not saying it's dramatized, but they came with nothing.
00:08:04.660 Shepard walks through.
00:08:05.600 It was the same way they're trying to get Trump, a judicial insurrection.
00:08:11.900 It was what Judge Sirica and lawyers from the House Committee and lawyers at DOJ working together.
00:08:22.060 They actually did a thing called a roadmap.
00:08:24.300 Since that time in the, in the, the legislation and the executive orders that came around post-Watergate was hermetically sealed off the Justice Department from, from the office of the presidency.
00:08:39.980 This fight, and it is a fight, is this unitary theory of the executive, the unitary executive theory, which in the executive branch and what its powers are, particularly given the other branch, but even inside, even inside the, the, the, the, the brand, the executive branch itself, away from and over the administrative state and the, in the deep state.
00:09:06.720 That's what this fight is now.
00:09:08.420 These judges are siding with the administrative state.
00:09:11.920 It's both the DOJ guys or what they're finding, plus OMB and other department heads are trying to downsize there because you can't, it's not sustainable.
00:09:22.620 It's not even a question whether it's sustainable or not.
00:09:24.640 It's not, and we're being fought in the courts nonstop, and these court fights are not going to get solved quickly.
00:09:32.260 This is what John, you said, and in fact, McGinley and others say, to delay is to deny.
00:09:39.480 Executive action, as laid out by Alexander and Hamilton, is with dispatch, with urgency, with energy.
00:09:46.540 That's the whole purpose of the executive in our constitutional structure.
00:09:50.340 They're trying to dissipate that energy.
00:09:51.920 The administrative state will make the decisions, whether, and those rulings in San Francisco, they cover the whole nation.
00:09:58.060 Whether it's in Maryland, cover the whole nation.
00:10:00.820 President Trump's going after, as we said, the root cause of this, or the, or the, one of the biggest parts of the instrumentality to control and rule the imperial capital.
00:10:11.060 That's the big law firms.
00:10:13.000 And he's just doing what the executive orders today.
00:10:15.620 The war room engine room has done a great job of talking about these, these law firms are almost like private equity firms now.
00:10:24.000 And the law firms have to be taking apart root and branch.
00:10:26.960 I'm sorry.
00:10:27.540 Oh, they're saying, well, you're going to take people's livelihoods away.
00:10:30.400 You cannot have the connective tissue of the deep state is the law firms.
00:10:35.460 These big, powerful law firms in Washington, D.C.
00:10:38.840 These, these white shoe law firms are the, the prominent law firms, Covington and Burley being one.
00:10:46.700 And, and, and Mark Elias and, and Bob Bowers, a shop or former shop for Elias Perkins Coy.
00:10:54.820 That's the one the president has gone after first.
00:10:57.120 And he's basically taking their, he's trying, he's not shy about saying he's taking their livelihood away.
00:11:02.600 Because he is, and he is on a, you know, he's on a, he's on a crusade here to break the deep state, to break the administrative state, and particularly to break the legal stranglehold.
00:11:16.600 And last night, as I predicted, it was nonstop.
00:11:20.000 And they really tried to play the Schumer stuff off to the side as much as they can, because I told you it was going to be soul crushing.
00:11:27.180 And it was, and the activists were absolutely beyond themselves, apoplectic.
00:11:32.600 About what Schumer had done to keep Trump's government open.
00:11:39.060 Just absolutely incredible, incredible day of victories for President Trump.
00:11:42.860 We had a victory with the, we had the victory with the, the Catholic, the, the Holy Catholic men and women at the abortion center. 0.78
00:11:51.060 Not put in prison again by the state of New Jersey.
00:11:54.420 You had President Trump sign an amazing executive order.
00:11:56.640 Really tightened down on security with, I think, over 40 countries of who can come in, who can't come in.
00:12:02.480 President Trump's not messing around.
00:12:04.560 Every day, I mean, it's another bomb.
00:12:06.520 You know, something that would take a week's news cycle, which just does it in the afternoon.
00:12:11.060 The Justice Department was very symbolic.
00:12:13.820 This is his, this is his saying, hey, I'm chief executive officer of the government.
00:12:17.880 I'm commander in chief of the armed forces, and I'm the chief magistrate and chief law enforcement officer of the United States government as my role by the Constitution.
00:12:26.500 Hey, if I want to come over to the Justice Department and talk to folks, I'm going to come over to the Justice Department and talk to folks.
00:12:31.720 And not just that, I think I'll throw down why I'm here.
00:12:34.140 How about a throw down?
00:12:34.920 And he threw down hard, talking about everything that had gone on, because out of that, out of main justice came the plan to put him in prison for, you know, for hundreds of years, to die in prison, essentially.
00:12:52.440 And don't think for a second they would have not taken that through to its ultimate.
00:12:57.340 That's how big this victory was.
00:12:58.640 If it hadn't been for the victory, they were going to keep going, even though they had been turned away by the courts, they were going to keep going.
00:13:03.600 They're relentless, and I think you're seeing President Trump's relentlessness, because yesterday was a historic moment.
00:13:14.400 We're going to get to that.
00:13:15.160 We're going to break down Schumer, also what they're doing running around the country, going to red districts or adjacent to red districts and try to join up these big kind of grassroots town halls.
00:13:29.640 They're a gun deck with Democratic operators.
00:13:32.300 But people have to understand that doesn't matter.
00:13:34.600 They're going to do—that's what they do.
00:13:36.800 And we have to figure out how to combat that.
00:13:39.540 One way to support President Trump is now we get down to the—now that he has funding for the rest of his fiscal year, is to get down to this massive kind of tax and spending bill, plus the appropriations for 2026.
00:13:52.680 The hard part.
00:13:56.060 We're going to have the Doge part, and I think Doge is going to start coming forward with a little more stringent accounting, so we know exactly how much is in waste, fraud, and abuse.
00:14:04.400 We're not kidding ourselves, and how much actually has to be taken up programmatically.
00:14:07.940 You have to do that.
00:14:09.680 We have to have a massive cut, I think $500 billion minimum out of the 26 budget.
00:14:15.720 That means out of the $6.5 trillion, you've got to cut $500 billion.
00:14:20.480 Good luck with that, but we've got to do it.
00:14:24.220 Okay, we are jammed today.
00:14:26.980 Today's your girl is going to join me. 1.00
00:14:28.020 Dave Walsh.
00:14:28.960 Remember, the predicate for the economy—now that we had a big day yesterday in the market, but things are going to go back and forth in the market—is underlying an industrial, advanced industrial society is cheap, plentiful energy.
00:14:43.580 That's there all the time.
00:14:46.700 Short commercial break.
00:14:48.300 We're going to be back in the war room in just a moment.
00:14:59.920 You wish you could have invested in the stock market last year when investors scored the highest profits in decades, but between that mountain of bills and credit card debt, you had nothing, and I mean nothing, left over.

00:16:18.520 Okay, before I continue, I've got Dave Walsh is going to be here.
00:16:21.860 Mike Rogers is going to be here.
00:16:22.980 David Tom's going to talk about Greenland.
00:16:28.180 We're going to be packed today, talking about the geopolitics, the economy, and the democratic response to all this.
00:16:35.240 Walsh is going to walk us through.
00:16:36.380 Remember, our theory of the case here is you've got to have a really intelligent energy plan that provides cheap and plentiful and unabated energy for an industrial society.
00:16:53.000 Walsh is going to be here.
00:16:53.620 But first, I'm going to get jacked up.
00:16:56.900 Brother Tage Gill, Warpath Coffee.
00:17:00.880 Particularly Saturdays.
00:17:02.860 Saturdays are going to get a little jump start.
00:17:04.540 We stay up later on Fridays than we normally do.
00:17:07.600 Normally in the rack quite early in the war room for our early morning rising.
00:17:12.360 Always stay up Friday a little too late.
00:17:14.000 Need Warpath.
00:17:15.360 Why is Warpath so perfect in that you don't need cream and sugar?
00:17:20.600 Explain to people your process because I'm really proud you kind of came at this as a, I don't know, can I say it, a gunman.
00:17:29.720 Defending your country in places far and wide.
00:17:33.400 But how did you come about coffee and how did you come about making it so great?
00:17:38.340 Yeah.
00:17:38.700 Good morning, Steve.
00:17:40.820 We were doing T-shirts and my T-shirt company got banned on Facebook for being conservative.
00:17:47.340 So I've been tinkering with the idea of doing coffee.
00:17:50.200 No, come on, come on, stop whining, stop whining, stop whining, don't whine, Tasia.
00:17:57.760 You're not a whiner.
00:17:58.920 That's right.
00:17:59.940 His T-shirt company got banned.
00:18:03.660 He and his Navy SEAL buddies, they got banned because they were saying bad things about Hillary Clinton, correct?
00:18:08.720 And tying her back to, I don't know, Benghazi and other things where they had let down your community, correct? 0.89
00:18:15.400 That's what he got banned, by Zuckerberg.
00:18:18.440 Yeah, his shirt said Hillary Clinton killed my friend's T-shirts and we sold tons of them.
00:18:23.140 And the whole thing was hinged upon marketing on Facebook.
00:18:26.520 And during the 2020 election, they banned us on Facebook and indefinitely suspended our advertising accounts.
00:18:33.520 So I've been wanting to do coffee for a while.
00:18:36.440 So before we shut the T-shirts down, I tried this coffee and it took off on the T-shirt company.
00:18:44.020 So I shut it down and then the coffee, I've told you this before, but in the SEAL teams, you know, we had all the best equipment and I wanted to have the best coffee.
00:18:54.860 I didn't want to just have some off-the-shelf burnt coffee that was acidic and all that stuff.
00:19:02.120 So it took a long time to make each roast.
00:19:05.580 We roast them on a perforated drum.
00:19:08.480 We small batch roast it.
00:19:09.940 So we just do one batch at a time.
00:19:12.400 We're not roasting 24 hours a day like the big guys.
00:19:15.900 And the reason it tastes so good that you can drink it black is because we don't burn it at all.
00:19:21.500 We caramelize the beans.
00:19:23.420 We basically turn them on like a golden brown instead of a black.
00:19:28.020 So the acidity is not there like most coffee.
00:19:33.340 I would say nine out of ten coffees you drink, you're going to have that metallic, that burnt metallic acidic taste in there.
00:19:40.400 And that's why when you get coffee, they serve it with milk and sugar because that's the normal.
00:19:45.060 So we're not the normal coffee.
00:19:47.280 We're a perfectly roasted coffee.
00:19:50.220 We caramelize it.
00:19:51.200 And we've got a breakfast blend, which is like super, super smooth.
00:19:56.440 It's basically like a donut shop coffee.
00:19:58.660 I put a little bit of French roast in there to give it a little bit of extra flavor.
00:20:02.520 And then the Mariner's blend, of course, we made that for you, Steve, because you're a dark roast guy.
00:20:07.400 So we did that.
00:20:08.120 And that is our best seller, the Mariner's blend.
00:20:10.180 And I called it Mariner's blend because you and I are both in the Navy.
00:20:13.940 So that's why that's where the Mariner thing came from.
00:20:17.320 And then, you know, we've got K-Cups now.
00:20:19.820 We've got the chocolate, vanilla.
00:20:23.520 We've got all sorts of stuff.
00:20:24.660 Actually, I've been talking about this for about a month, trying to release the decaf.
00:20:28.980 The decaf actually roasted yesterday.
00:20:30.900 So we should have that sometime next week on our website.
00:20:34.760 And we're also dropping salted caramel.
00:20:37.320 The one fight Tasia and I have had about the company is going, what's the purpose of decaf with this great coffee?
00:20:44.880 Because the coffee will get you jacked up.
00:20:46.140 But I understand certain people later in the day want to have a great cup of coffee and not have the caffeine that will keep them up.
00:20:52.400 So Tasia's – and you've launched the decaf?
00:20:56.260 You launched the decaf?
00:20:57.760 It's going to be on the site next week.
00:20:59.260 We roasted it yesterday.
00:21:01.280 So now it's got to get packaged, and then we'll have it on the site next week, finally.
00:21:05.360 The problem is we keep selling those coffees so fast.
00:21:08.420 So whenever we want to launch something new, it gets pushed to the back burner because we've got to keep roasting the stuff we're already selling.
00:21:15.120 And that is greatly in part to the War Room Posse.
00:21:19.520 You know, we have 7,400-plus five-star reviews on our website now.
00:21:26.400 I'd say a great majority of them are from the War Room Posse.
00:21:29.780 It's – people love this coffee.
00:21:32.220 It's crazy.
00:21:32.760 We have a huge customer return rate.
00:21:34.800 Like, the market – I heard some Google marketing guys, and they couldn't believe it.
00:21:39.900 They thought they were like, no way.
00:21:41.480 So it's going great.
00:21:43.940 And we're not selling a crappy product.
00:21:46.820 The product is top-notch.
00:21:48.660 That's the deal.
00:21:50.520 Yes, the best.
00:21:52.040 Where do people go today?
00:21:53.040 I want them to read the reviews.
00:21:54.360 I want them to become part of this.
00:21:55.900 This coffee is very special to our heart.
00:21:58.040 We took a year and a half, I think.
00:22:00.260 This is Tasia and his team, but a year and a half to get the dark roast ready.
00:22:04.960 They're perfectionists.
00:22:05.820 So where do folks go?
00:22:06.660 I want people to enjoy this and become part of it.
00:22:08.980 So where do they go?
00:22:09.520 Yep.
00:22:10.000 So you go to warpath.coffee is the website, and the promo code is warroom.
00:22:18.240 That's for the War Room Posse.
00:22:19.600 It's 20%, and it fluctuates during holidays.
00:22:23.540 We'll crank it up.
00:22:24.360 But it's 20% right now.
00:22:26.320 So warpath.coffee, and then use promo code warroom. 1.00
00:22:31.220 Oh, yeah.
00:22:31.420 One more thing.
00:22:32.700 We just found a box of these, the free Steve Vanden mugs.
00:22:37.340 We were reorganizing the warehouse, and, yeah, we found like 70 of them in a big box.
00:22:42.900 So I put those up on the site yesterday.
00:22:45.320 So if you want some of those, grab them.
00:22:47.260 Worse.
00:22:47.880 Free Steve Vanden mugs.
00:22:48.920 Worse inventory management than the Pentagon, where he comes out of.
00:22:55.900 Yeah, now we need Doge.
00:22:57.560 Go on the site.
00:22:58.740 Okay.
00:22:59.100 One more time.
00:23:00.220 I'm going to say Doge on you.
00:23:01.740 One more time.
00:23:03.840 Where do people go, sir?
00:23:04.820 Where do people go?
00:23:07.000 The website is warpath.coffee, and use promo code warroom.
00:23:12.520 You get 20% off your order.
00:23:14.560 Yeah.
00:23:14.760 And it's warpath.coffee, promo code warroom.
00:23:17.400 And if you haven't tried it, try it out.
00:23:19.780 People love it.
00:23:20.820 All you got to do is read the reviews.
00:23:23.280 It's real reviews.
00:23:24.220 They're not paid.
00:23:26.720 Yep.
00:23:27.460 Thank you, Tash.
00:23:28.160 Hey, Steve, good job.
00:23:28.800 Not at a gun range today, but yes, sir.
00:23:31.200 Good job on Gavin Newsom's podcast.
00:23:33.760 I watched that earlier this morning.
00:23:35.100 It was pretty good.
00:23:35.640 That was awesome.
00:23:36.360 That was a great interview.
00:23:37.360 Thank you.
00:23:38.260 I was trying to be frank.
00:23:39.600 We're going to play Jane Fonda.
00:23:40.820 Hanoi Jane didn't think so, so we're going to play Hanoi Jane later in the show.
00:23:44.700 She had a few comments.
00:23:45.760 She had some observations.
00:23:49.760 Nice.
00:23:50.160 Thank you, sir.
00:23:52.760 Thank you, sir.
00:23:52.960 Tash Gill, gunman for the United States Navy, Navy SEAL.
00:23:59.820 Thank you, brother.
00:24:01.040 Great guy.
00:24:02.220 Let's play.
00:24:02.720 I got a clip, a short clip regarding President Trump and energy, and then Dave Walsh is with
00:24:07.840 us.
00:24:08.100 What I'm very happy with is oil is down to $65 a barrel, and that's faster than I would
00:24:15.760 have intended.
00:24:16.120 We put on the gas.
00:24:17.480 We stepped in the gas in order to get oil and with what's happening.
00:24:21.880 So we're getting that down.
00:24:23.840 When energy comes down, prices are going to be coming down with it.
00:24:27.960 So in a very short period of time, we've done a very good job.
00:24:35.100 Dave Walsh, your theory of the case and ours have been to get a robust industrial economy.
00:24:41.700 Energy is the foundational element.
00:24:43.560 How's our president doing, sir?
00:24:46.160 He's doing fantastic.
00:24:47.640 A couple of things.
00:24:48.620 Yeah, that's translating.
00:24:50.320 The per barrel cost is coming right through to gas costs already.
00:24:53.860 We got nationally $3.03 a gallon average, the lowest March since the pandemic gas cost
00:25:01.920 at the pump, $0.37 less than year on year ago, and $0.09 less than a month ago.
00:25:08.320 So already massive impact at the pump with gasoline costs.
00:25:12.420 The second thing, in the past week, a couple of days ago, EPA Secretary Zeldin announced 31
00:25:20.180 actions to dismantle the regulatory oversight, the regulatory overreach of both the Obama
00:25:26.540 administration and the Biden administration.
00:25:29.460 Most notoriously, the centerpiece being his calling for a reconsideration or study—a lot
00:25:35.500 of these things need to be studied for three to four months before they can be put into
00:25:38.740 action—by the EPA of the Obama-era endangerment finding.
00:25:43.180 The endangerment finding in month one of the Obama administration found that CO2 was a harmful
00:25:49.840 pollutant, a harmful greenhouse gas.
00:25:52.460 And that's been the underpinning of all of the regulatory deep state through mainly
00:25:57.140 the EPA and interior actions to go ahead and restrict the use of gas, oil, coal in this
00:26:02.420 country for power generation and restrict also for automotive and transportation use.
00:26:06.900 So he's got that understudy, which is the heart and soul of all of these overreach actions
00:26:12.660 of both administrations.
00:26:14.520 And I'm predicting that's going to go away, the endangerment finding.
00:26:17.860 That's a big, big deal.
00:26:19.280 It's a huge deal.
00:26:20.540 So we've had a great week just in those two couple of things.
00:26:24.300 And now, vis-a-vis Gates' commentary of, you know, we're seeing him begin to—not his commentary.
00:26:30.440 Yeah.
00:26:32.060 Hang on.
00:26:32.680 I'm going to get to that in a second right after the break.
00:26:35.020 I want to go back.
00:26:37.060 I think it's 31 states.
00:26:39.440 I think the 31 states that gasoline's actually got a two-handle in front of it.
00:26:43.580 The national average is $3.
00:26:45.260 But I think there's a bunch of states where it's in the $2, right?
00:26:49.240 High twos, but it's $2.
00:26:50.720 Is that correct?
00:26:51.500 Yeah.
00:26:51.900 Yeah.
00:26:52.240 Nothing like oversupply.
00:26:54.120 Nothing like unleashing supply to get cost down.
00:26:57.480 And, you know, the global—we have a major impact on the global cost per barrel given
00:27:02.400 where—when we decide to be.
00:27:03.900 We are the world's largest producer.
00:27:06.540 We can easily get back, and we are getting back to 14 million barrels a day plus-plus
00:27:11.380 under the administration, which has an enormous impact on global supply, but also impacting
00:27:17.120 global pricing.
00:27:18.140 So this is all good news, and it's happening.
00:27:21.280 These cost benefits are passing along to American consumers of gas.
00:27:26.340 We're going to come back in a moment and talk about Russia rapprochement, maybe an overall
00:27:33.080 economic deal there, what that's going to mean for global energy, energy in Europe, all
00:27:38.460 of it.
00:27:38.880 And also, surprise, surprise, with the rise of artificial intelligence, you're not having
00:27:46.820 your nose rubbed in net carbon zero anymore.
00:27:50.300 So surprising that's kind of gone away.
00:27:53.220 But your bettors, the oligarchs, it's inconvenient for them now to talk about climate change.
00:27:59.640 Short commercial break.
00:28:01.640 The one, the only, Dave Walsh is with us on the other side.
00:28:04.860 How well do you sleep at night?

00:29:40.360 To Putin in the last days or hours personally.
00:29:43.780 Well, I don't want to say it, but we are dealing with him, and I think it's going reasonably
00:29:49.520 well.
00:29:50.920 It's a very complex situation.
00:29:52.620 You know, it's a bloody, terrible war.
00:29:56.420 And I do think it's going well.
00:29:59.360 As you know, we have a ceasefire agreement with the Ukrainian group, and we are trying
00:30:06.440 to get that with Russia, too.
00:30:09.200 And I think thus far it's gone okay.
00:30:11.960 We'll know a little bit more on Monday, and that'll be hopefully good.
00:30:16.780 Dave, I'm going to bring Dave Walsh back in a moment, because I want to talk about the
00:30:24.280 geopolitics of this Russian situation, because that's going to lead to a discussion of energy
00:30:31.300 going forward.
00:30:32.640 The great Dave Walsh is an expert on all things European and Russian energy, so we'll get
00:30:36.900 to that in a moment.
00:30:37.500 We're going to bring in Mike Rogers from Michigan.
00:30:39.860 Mike, you spent years working in this line of work.
00:30:44.000 Give me your assessment of President Trump, the ceasefire, working on the situation in
00:30:50.440 Ukraine, and particularly this overall rapprochement with Russia that could change the dynamic with
00:30:55.920 the Persians, could clearly get things sorted over in the Eurasian landmass.
00:31:01.140 What are your thoughts so far?
00:31:03.560 Yeah, a couple of things.
00:31:05.020 First of all, one of the things that was marching toward disaster for the United States was pushing
00:31:10.000 Russia into the hands of China. 0.92
00:31:12.300 That is just not good for us.
00:31:13.540 It's not good for our national security.
00:31:15.100 It's not good for our long-term strategy on how we protect America and all of our interests
00:31:20.060 around the world.
00:31:21.660 And so this—we had to break this cycle.
00:31:24.980 Somehow we had to break this cycle.
00:31:28.120 And I think President Trump did exactly that.
00:31:31.040 And, you know, one of the problems was Zelensky's whole persona now is this wartime, you know,
00:31:37.760 president of Ukraine, with no elections and all of that.
00:31:42.680 And so he's having a great time.
00:31:44.840 As long as those checks continue to cash, it would be really hard for him to change his
00:31:49.620 thinking on this.
00:31:50.920 And we—I believe President Trump was right in trying to get them to change their thinking.
00:31:56.100 And really, sometimes the only way to get a mule's attention is, you know, the old bricks 0.58
00:31:59.820 in the back, as my dad used to say.
00:32:02.740 And I think that's just those bricks in the back saying, hey, pal, this is great, but
00:32:07.340 you're not going to fight, you know, build your brand around our money.
00:32:10.900 And dead, dead human beings.
00:32:14.800 And so I think this was exactly the way to kind of change the focus of this.
00:32:19.940 Okay.
00:32:20.880 And, look, you were there at the time.
00:32:22.540 You saw everything they were doing to push the elite in the imperial capital in D.C.
00:32:28.100 were to push Russia into the hands of really the Xi and the Chinese Communist Party.
00:32:33.320 You know, they are having—they had a naval exercise.
00:32:35.880 The Russians, the CCP, and the Persians in North Arabian Sea, Indian Ocean this week.
00:32:41.500 And the criticism people come back, Mike, is saying, hey, look, that's all nice theoretically,
00:32:45.980 but there's no way—they have a—what does she call it?
00:32:49.120 An alliance or a partnership that knows no bounds.
00:32:52.560 Are we kidding ourselves?
00:32:54.000 Is there—because this is the overall endgame.
00:32:55.860 It's not about Ukraine.
00:32:57.320 It's not even about the Middle East or the Persians.
00:32:59.300 It's trying to have this rapprochement to break up this partnership in the Eurasian landmass.
00:33:04.300 Are our critics correct when they say this is naive, it's never going to happen,
00:33:09.920 and all you're doing is throwing Ukraine under the bus, and you'll end up—and you'll end up 0.85
00:33:14.680 not having some diplomatic resolution with the Persians, sir?
00:33:21.680 Well, I mean, you never know if you're going to have a diplomatic solution with Persians, 1.00
00:33:26.560 but I don't—I think not trying is a bigger mistake.
00:33:30.360 You know, one of the things about Ukraine, had we done this right to begin with, we wouldn't
00:33:34.460 find ourselves here.
00:33:35.420 And I was for arming Ukraine in the beginning with all the defense before Russia came across.
00:33:40.540 Give them the things they needed to defend themselves, make them like a porcupine, move
00:33:45.100 on.
00:33:45.420 We didn't—we wouldn't have this problem, and I passionately believe that's true.
00:33:48.380 But this kind of slow drip over time, it's been a disaster.
00:33:52.620 And to say that the Russians are not now dependent on the Chinese, I think is naive. 0.97
00:33:58.100 People aren't thinking that Arctic natural resources exploration deal that happened right
00:34:03.900 before they went into Ukraine with China, where China sells 100 percent of the equipment
00:34:10.640 in future development of natural resources comes from China to do that development.
00:34:16.080 They got, I think, 20 percent of all the natural resource deals in the Arctic, right?
00:34:22.720 So China is looking very strategically, and they know Russia is weak, and they're certainly 0.72
00:34:26.720 taking advantage of it.
00:34:28.240 If China stops buying coal and stops buying oil and other things and supplying other things
00:34:34.000 to Russia, they're in trouble.
00:34:35.800 And so they just—every day that marches on toward this is a day that they get closer if
00:34:40.580 they want to or not.
00:34:41.660 And so, listen, China's pretty big.
00:34:44.320 They have economic influence, military influence, now the world's largest navy.
00:34:48.900 Their army is growing in sophistication.
00:34:51.460 They're taking us on in space.
00:34:53.580 You bet this is a huge problem for our future.
00:34:56.160 And now they've got the Iranians that they're dealing with. 1.00
00:34:59.260 China is thinking long term.
00:35:00.760 So what we've got to do is think long term as well.
00:35:03.500 Unfortunately, that means you've got to—well, fortunately, really, it is fortunate.
00:35:07.200 We get a peace deal in Ukraine.
00:35:09.420 And yes, everybody's going to have to give up a little something to get it done.
00:35:13.620 But you just, A, can't continue to pour money in there.
00:35:17.440 Our European allies talk a great game, but they're not actually stepping up in the way
00:35:22.760 that the U.S. is.
00:35:24.100 And so we've got to get all that right.
00:35:26.500 And then we'll rebuild this thing.
00:35:28.440 I have no problem.
00:35:29.500 Why?
00:35:29.840 Because our interests will always better align at the end of the day when it comes to a
00:35:35.220 rising, dangerous China. 0.91
00:35:37.160 And so when they say, oh, it's naive, I would argue maybe they're being naive.
00:35:42.520 Because if you're not looking at that, what's next?
00:35:44.660 And if you look at the number of times Russia since, I don't know, the early 1900s has decided
00:35:49.960 they want a piece of Ukraine, it's dozens and dozens of times.
00:35:54.140 This isn't something new.
00:35:55.800 This isn't a he woke up today and thought that he should do this.
00:35:58.580 So we've got to get that right.
00:36:00.340 We've got to get Ukraine so they can start rebuilding and less focused on the war.
00:36:05.640 They're not going to win a war of attrition.
00:36:08.360 And Steve, right now, this is a war of attrition.
00:36:10.860 And guess what?
00:36:11.500 Ukraine is losing the war of attrition.
00:36:13.200 They might not say it.
00:36:14.180 Certainly the press won't cover it.
00:36:15.760 They are losing this war of attrition.
00:36:17.660 And we can help them by forcing them into a peace deal.
00:36:23.240 You talk about, I want to go to the Arctic for a second.
00:36:25.640 And this is a great power of politics, like the great game of the 19th century with the
00:36:30.360 Russian and the British Empire.
00:36:31.900 And you're at the forefront of this.
00:36:33.780 And you're running again for the Senate.
00:36:36.000 So you're going to be in front and center of this.
00:36:37.860 I'm sure it's going to be a big issue in the campaign with Canada, everything that's
00:36:40.980 going on with Canada.
00:36:42.180 But do you think our Canadian allies, our brothers and sisters in Canada, fully understand
00:36:48.100 how serious the CCP and the Russians, but particularly the CCP, of taking a bite out of northern
00:36:53.920 Canada about this situation in the Arctic?
00:36:57.380 Is that something that the Canadians are up to speed on, how serious the Chinese Communist 1.00
00:37:01.560 Party is about making the Arctic theirs, sir? 0.56
00:37:05.380 Yeah.
00:37:05.940 So I've talked to a lot of Canadians in government, not of government there.
00:37:12.760 I think some days they get it, and some days they don't get it.
00:37:15.680 And if they think short-term on this, and listen, we don't really want Canada as a state.
00:37:21.740 I grew up in Michigan.
00:37:22.680 I grew up on the Canadian broadcast, Channel 9 out of Windsor.
00:37:27.660 It was the only thing our antenna could get for a lot of months of the year.
00:37:32.340 We really don't want Canada.
00:37:33.560 We don't really want Canada as a state.
00:37:37.040 They just think differently than they do.
00:37:38.680 They're great people.
00:37:39.460 Love them.
00:37:39.880 I'm glad they're our allies.
00:37:41.140 Probably don't want them in the union.
00:37:43.860 But I will say that sometimes they do, and sometimes they don't.
00:37:46.940 And I think there's this growing understanding in Canada about what's at risk and what's
00:37:53.780 at stake.
00:37:54.920 And so sometimes if you don't break some glass, and when they say, in order to make an omelet,
00:37:59.680 you've got to break some eggs, we'll never get there.
00:38:02.480 Because China is serious, and they are moving out. 1.00
00:38:06.160 And they are making investments in the Arctic like we've not seen before.
00:38:09.880 And they're doing it with their friends in Russia that would give them waypoints along
00:38:13.940 the way to refuel ships and do logistics and other things.
00:38:16.800 All of that is a serious threat to the United States and our friends in the North. 0.74
00:38:21.100 And so I still think there's work to do to get them fully bought in.
00:38:24.460 But I do think, you know, somebody was telling me, you know, trying to get people to reorient
00:38:30.380 their understanding that tariffs should be fair and not one-sided is like getting your
00:38:35.440 crazy Uncle Earl that's been on your couch in the basement for six months, can't understand
00:38:39.980 why you would ask him that he might want to think about, you know, getting his own place
00:38:43.240 for a while.
00:38:44.940 Same kind of thing.
00:38:45.960 They're going to have to step up and go, OK, I get it.
00:38:48.400 Our tariffs are not fair.
00:38:50.460 They should be fair.
00:38:51.900 Let's compete.
00:38:53.260 But you can't, you know, charge American farmers 300 percent.
00:38:58.500 It's not.
00:39:01.760 Mike, one last question about Schumer—
00:39:04.320 I think all of this is hard up front and it looks chaotic.
00:39:06.500 Yeah, go ahead.
00:39:07.500 Keep going.
00:39:08.580 Keep going.
00:39:09.160 No, no, keep going.
00:39:10.000 We lost it for a second.
00:39:10.940 It looks a little chaotic, but I will tell you that it's—there's really no way to break
00:39:16.760 this cycle other than to break the cycle.
00:39:19.320 And that's where I think, you know, people are kind of going through the hard part of
00:39:23.340 breaking the cycle.
00:39:27.380 On the politics of it, Schumer yesterday kind of surrendered.
00:39:30.520 There's been a firestorm on the grassroots base.
00:39:32.860 How's that going to affect Michigan?
00:39:35.020 Because Peters has announced he's not running again.
00:39:37.980 I think he's one of the guys they threw in there to vote.
00:39:40.140 But what is—what's the current status of the politics there?
00:39:43.160 Are they having a grassroots revolt against the Democratic Party establishment?
00:39:48.820 There's huge problems.
00:39:50.100 You know, on the west side of the state, they're putting together these huge protests
00:39:53.880 for a member of Congress, their Republican member of Congress, for not having, you know,
00:39:59.680 in-person town halls, even though they're showing their propensity for it to be disruptive.
00:40:04.080 But it is the old 1960s Democrats coming back to life.
00:40:08.420 This is exactly the party that we warned America would take over and do bad things to the country.
00:40:14.080 And guess what?
00:40:14.580 They're showing themselves to be exactly that.
00:40:17.140 They really don't know how to deal with this.
00:40:19.940 Americans wanted a smaller, more effective government that didn't cost them as much money.
00:40:24.540 Guess what?
00:40:24.840 They're getting that.
00:40:26.080 They wanted peace in places like Ukraine.
00:40:28.640 Guess what?
00:40:29.320 They're getting that.
00:40:30.220 The tariffs do make people nervous, don't—we shouldn't fool ourselves.
00:40:34.480 That absolutely does.
00:40:36.200 But when you explain to them, this is really about reciprocal.
00:40:39.540 We're really trying to get to a place where our goods and services can be sold in other
00:40:43.860 places around the world at the same rate that they pay to come into the United States.
00:40:49.380 It's only fair.
00:40:50.940 Boy, people start to back down a little bit, and they understand where we're going.
00:40:54.720 I have faith that Donald Trump's going to get a deal on all or most of this by the end
00:40:59.540 of this year that will absolutely be a boon to American business, given an opportunity
00:41:04.760 in markets that they really didn't have before.
00:41:07.260 And so it's just walking through it.
00:41:09.720 Yes, the Democrats are confused.
00:41:11.060 I don't—they don't even know what to be mad at on any given day.
00:41:14.820 And now they're all of a sudden worried, you know, worried about the price of eggs.
00:41:18.520 Where were they?
00:41:19.820 Where were they when eggs were going through the roof?
00:41:22.880 Not because we had the bird flu, but because your policies made eggs so dargum expensive.
00:41:31.560 Mike, where do people go and find out more?
00:41:33.820 But I think you've announced, right, you're running again.
00:41:36.840 I have not announced, but you're talking to a lot of people.
00:41:41.000 There's a decision coming up that's pretty, pretty close, but you can still get us at Rogers for U.S. Senate.
00:41:50.620 This is an easy place to find us.
00:41:55.180 What was the race last time?
00:41:57.560 You came within how close?
00:41:59.800 Three-tenths of it.
00:42:00.720 It was 48.6 to 48.3.
00:42:04.200 And here's some important numbers, if I can, Steve, quickly.
00:42:07.600 We got more votes than any other Michigan office candidate in the history of our state.
00:42:16.200 It's never been done before, and by a large number.
00:42:19.400 We came as close to Trump votes than—there was only one other state that was even competitive with us.
00:42:25.260 That was Wisconsin to the Trump voters, right?
00:42:27.720 So these are no propensity, low propensity voters.
00:42:30.540 We were closer than all of the U.S. Senate candidates that won.
00:42:35.100 We got closer on those numbers.
00:42:37.540 And so we lost by about 18,000 out of 5.5 million votes cast.
00:42:43.040 And that's why I think so many people have picked up the phone and said, hey, you really need to do this.
00:42:47.620 This is our chance, our time.
00:42:49.400 And we need somebody who can articulate why Trump is doing what he's doing in the face of what the Democrats are trying to do is distort that record at home,
00:42:58.340 tell people their world's coming to an end when—and actually, I think their future and their kids' future is going to get better.
00:43:06.060 Mike, one more time, social media.
00:43:07.820 We've got to bounce, but give us your social media and your website.
00:43:11.420 The website, rogersforsenate.com, is still up and running, so please go there.
00:43:18.120 And that's probably the best place to get us.
00:43:20.060 We're not an announced candidate yet, but we're certainly thinking about it and having lots of really important conversations.
00:43:25.380 Mike Rogers from Michigan.
00:43:29.400 Thank you, sir.
00:43:32.100 Dave Walsh on the other side.
00:43:34.280 We're going to get back into energy, given where we stand geopolitically with Russia.
00:43:40.100 What if he had the brightest mind in the war room, delivering critical financial research every month?
00:43:46.480 Steve Bannon here.
00:43:47.620 War Room listeners know Jim Rickards.

00:43:58.360 Jim predicted Trump's Electoral College victory exactly 312 to 226, down to the actual number itself.
00:44:07.720 Now he's issuing a dire warning about April 11th, a moment that could define Trump's presidency and your financial future.
00:44:14.780 His 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.

00:45:52.720 So Mike Lindell, hopefully he's back with us next week, had a little throat surgery.
00:45:57.140 Also, we'll play, hopefully in the second hour, we'll get to it, is the Tina Peters.
00:46:00.480 They talked about Tina Peters, you'll say, in the Justice Department when President Trump was there.
00:46:05.880 Todd Blanch, in fact, mentioned her name.
00:46:07.860 They said they're working on it.
00:46:11.760 Dave Walsh, given what Mike Rogers said and the possibility of a rapprochement with Russia that breaks him out of the Chinese camp,
00:46:19.540 just how important, because President Trump's a deal guy, you kind of know what he's thinking.
00:46:24.660 What is, he's a business guy.
00:46:26.240 He understands the importance of the economy and how energy underpins that.
00:46:30.480 And the action he's taking to date.
00:46:32.760 Is it doable for us to do an overall energy deal with the Russians, sir? 0.98
00:46:38.020 And if we could do that, how much would that change the global kind of calculation of energy?
00:46:43.980 You know, it's curious.
00:46:45.160 One has already happened without being, not a formal one.
00:46:48.760 Look, the Russians joining OPEC as OPEC Plus, they kneecapped OPEC completely when this war started by brokering down the cost of their exported oil into Western Europe. 0.62
00:47:01.180 There wasn't really a boycott.
00:47:02.760 There was a $60 cap, largely an appeasement to Germany, placed on Russian oil exported into Western Europe.
00:47:10.440 So it's continued, and actually Russia to this moment remains the largest exporter of natural gas into Western Europe at this moment in time.
00:47:19.680 So they helped kneecap OPEC with the turning on them when this war began by slashing prices to meet that cap level that was called a boycott level, but it's not really a boycott level.
00:47:31.820 And Representative Mike, exactly correct.
00:47:34.600 I mean, the worst impact of this egregious support for the Ukraine monetarily by this country has been forcing Putin together with China for the talking now aggressively about building two pipelines into China, natural gas.
00:47:48.480 That which China lacks.
00:47:49.740 China lacks natural gas.
00:47:51.520 They are going to get it from Iran, without question, in their Belt and Road Initiative, but they don't need to get it from Russia via pipeline.
00:47:58.420 Pipeline capacity has to be reconstructed mightily into Western Europe.
00:48:03.600 You've got thousands, a thousand years of dependence by Western Europe on Russian pipeline gas coming.
00:48:09.500 It's a fact of life because LNG transported, even at present $4.50 per decatherm natural gas, the price of exporting it by LNG doubles the cost of it.
00:48:20.760 There is no fungible long-term solution of Australia, Qatar, the U.S. shipping LNG to Europe.
00:48:26.560 It's got to come cost-effectively from neighboring Russia.
00:48:30.240 The cost of pipeline gas is half the cost of LNG-ship gas.
00:48:34.940 So they're whetted at the hip.
00:48:36.860 We've got to get the dependency, the economic co-dependency reconstructed rapidly so that they rejoin the illegitimate trade, if you will, 0.95
00:48:46.020 not hiding under this artificial 60-buck cap that turns out to be an inducement only to cut the price of that which we now know Western Europe is fundamentally embedded to.
00:48:57.820 And that is fossil fuels has been made naked and pulled out of the closet.
00:49:02.580 Western Europe has been fundamentally dependent on fossil fuels this entire time of their supposed transition to wind, solar, and carbon storage.
00:49:10.840 The hypocrisy, I just want to make sure that because you're inundated on the news every day, the reality is they're still dependent upon Russian natural gas.
00:49:22.260 That's still what's underpinning what Europe's got today, correct?
00:49:27.520 Essentially.
00:49:27.740 Russia is the single largest importer of natural gas into Western Europe in the world today, today, and has been throughout the time of this war.
00:49:37.780 And God bless President Trump for mentioning his State of the Union message a week ago that in the time of the war,
00:49:46.160 the Europeans have paid Putin $234 billion, paid, not lent, paid $234 billion for oil, gas, coal, and uranium during the war.
00:49:54.520 Two and a half times more than they have lent Zelensky.
00:49:57.760 So when you really look at whose side they're on, their badging of whose side they're on, follow the money.
00:50:03.400 I'm not sure they're on Zelensky's side.
00:50:05.760 But yet they come over here and claim we should be.
00:50:08.320 When you look at the energy funds flow, it's depleted.
00:50:13.900 And I just also want to make, they've also thrown under, because even Germany's doing this now, 0.96
00:50:20.300 they've also are starting to throw off the shackles of this fantasy about net carbon zero.
00:50:25.820 Have they not, sir?
00:50:26.920 They are.
00:50:27.560 They have to.
00:50:28.180 They have to.
00:50:29.360 Germany's industrial economy is based on manufacturing steel, autos, chemicals, big, big product there, machine tools.
00:50:36.320 You can't make those things without emitting some large notion of carbon.
00:50:41.340 And they recognize that.
00:50:42.420 You need massive electricity.
00:50:43.440 So what they've done in the last 10 years, well, they've tried to fake getting on to renewables when most notoriously is import huge quantities of coal power from Poland, from Hungary, nuclear power from France, even bigger, and gas and oil from Russia.
00:50:57.780 That has sustained their industrial economy.
00:51:00.340 That's now been the fact of the Russian dependence, which, again, President Trump pointed out in his UN message, singling them out six years ago was exactly correct. 1.00
00:51:10.260 They are intricately, inconceivably tied to the Russian oil supply.
00:51:17.560 And that's, you know, we might as well make that a, put that out on the table and get this whole situation resolved based on them, the Germans who have not followed one U.S. boycott since the Willy Brandt era.
00:51:31.020 They're not really an ally on this.
00:51:34.680 The price gap thing.
00:51:35.460 Dave, just hang on, because I want to get the reason, one of the underpinning reasons that they've chucked all this about CO2 as a poison and what President Trump's doing about it.
00:51:47.000 And also Gates and all the oligarchs are kind of run away from climate change and why they're doing it.
00:51:52.760 And the impact is going to have on folks' life.
00:51:54.720 Okay, gold broke $3,000 all-time high on Friday.
00:52:01.560 It's not just the price of gold.

00:52:54.800 It's a family issue.
00:52:55.740 A community issue.
00:52:57.120 We're living in unpredictable times.
00:52:59.220 Supply chains can break down.
00:53:00.500 Hospitals can get overwhelmed.
00:53:01.920 And let's not even start on the natural disasters.
00:53:05.140 These aren't hypotheticals.
00:53:06.320 They're happening.
00:53:06.980 You see it here in the War Room, and we all know it.
00:53:09.620 The question is simply, are you ready?
00:53:12.760 That's where Jace comes in.
