Bannon's War Room - Episode 4353： President Trump Dismantles The Department Of Education

00:00:00.000 You know, it's the first time I followed, I like Ted Nugent as my opening act.

00:00:04.480 I like that.

00:00:05.060 I've never had that before.

00:00:06.440 Now I feel very special.

00:00:08.600 Eric Bolling and Brother Nugent, Brother Nugent.

00:00:11.040 Eric, thank you so much.

00:00:12.120 Historic day.

00:00:12.880 Thanks for doing the handover.

00:00:15.320 All yours.

00:00:15.860 Very historic day at the White House.

00:00:19.160 Brian Glenn's going to join us shortly.

00:00:20.900 What I want to do, we have a cold open to commemorate this day and everything it stands for.

00:00:26.340 It's been a long time getting here, folks.

00:00:28.460 Let's go ahead and let it rip.

00:00:30.000 The budget plan I submit to you on February 8th will realize major savings by dismantling

00:00:35.960 the departments of energy and education and by eliminating ineffective subsidies for business.

00:00:42.420 We will continue to redirect our resources to our two highest budget priorities.

00:00:47.880 A strong national defense to keep America free and at peace and a reliable safety net of social

00:00:54.900 programs for those who have contributed and those who are in need.

00:00:58.720 Education historically was a state and local subject.

00:01:04.680 And I think that what we've seen is since we've, we spend about $100 billion in the Department of Education each year.

00:01:13.200 And that's been going on since 1980.

00:01:15.400 I'm not so sure we're better off than we were before.

00:01:18.400 See, the one thing that could probably help education.

00:01:19.720 That would eliminate most of that, right?

00:01:21.740 Well, what I would do is I would have it spend at the state and local level.

00:01:24.620 I wouldn't take it up there at all.

00:01:25.920 I'd leave it.

00:01:26.520 I'd leave it at home.

00:01:27.480 So you'd spend the money.

00:01:28.320 You might still spend it in your state government.

00:01:30.520 But education, even now, 90, 95% of your education dollars are state and local.

00:01:35.740 That $100 billion gets swirled around in a big bureaucracy up there.

00:01:39.020 They send rules down that don't help education.

00:01:41.720 They hinder innovation.

00:01:43.180 I would cut them out of the loop.

00:01:44.300 I don't think you'd notice if the whole department were gone tomorrow.

00:01:49.800 The...

00:01:50.200 We might have a disagreement on that.

00:01:51.860 No, we...

00:01:52.580 I know you said you wanted to abolish the Department of Education.

00:01:56.840 Do you plan to?

00:01:57.980 Or would you...

00:01:58.820 What would you do with it if it stuck around?

00:02:01.020 Well, we don't need a Department of Education.

00:02:02.720 It has some important functions.

00:02:04.000 For example, the student loan programs, the Pell Grant, we could transfer that to Treasury.

00:02:07.900 Other departments can run it.

00:02:09.600 My problem with the Department of Education is the federal government was never intended

00:02:12.920 to be involved in K-12 education.

00:02:15.340 It was a limited government designed for the limited and specific enumerated purposes.

00:02:20.340 K-12 belongs at the local level because parents have much more influence over a school board

00:02:25.140 or over a state legislature than they will ever have over Congress

00:02:28.120 or over unelected bureaucrats sitting in a massive building in Washington, D.C.

00:02:32.240 This is not about ideology.

00:02:33.820 This is about the practical reality that why do we have a Department of Education

00:02:37.080 when the federal government really has no role to play in K-12 education.

00:02:44.740 In the days that follow, I will instruct the federal Department of Education,

00:02:50.400 which should be abolished.

00:02:52.160 Now, no modern American president has tried to do what Donald Trump is doing today.

00:03:03.260 That is, eliminate an entire cabinet-level department by fiat.

00:03:07.260 And technically, he cannot do it.

00:03:09.460 Trump does not actually have the power to turn the lights off at the Department of Education.

00:03:14.100 That can only be done by an act of Congress.

00:03:16.540 And it would need 60 votes in the Senate to overcome any filibuster.

00:03:20.780 But the Trump administration, as they put it today, will do everything but close the DOE.

00:03:26.200 Angela, there's a chapter on the Department of Education in Project 2025 that is not news to you.

00:03:32.960 You have read through that document.

00:03:34.540 You tried to warn people that this was the playbook they were going to run.

00:03:37.680 The first line of that reads, federal education policy should be limited.

00:03:42.840 And ultimately, the federal Department of Education should be eliminated.

00:03:46.920 The administration can't actually eliminate it, as you know, as anyone who sort of understands

00:03:52.080 the basic mechanisms of this understand.

00:03:54.720 What is it they are trying to win here, a symbolic victory?

00:03:58.560 No, they want something much bigger than that.

00:04:00.480 I mean, and they've sort of been pretty transparent about it, especially in the last few months.

00:04:04.420 They see the Department of Education and more broadly the education system as sort of indoctrinating

00:04:09.680 people, young people, right at the beginning.

00:04:11.980 That it's basically creating a whole pipeline of, you know, liberal indoctrination.

00:04:17.060 And, you know, they've been pushing back at that on the edges.

00:04:19.820 You've seen this pop up at the States where, you know, they're messing with the curriculum.

00:04:23.360 They're replacing some books with, you know, PragerU.

00:04:26.100 You know, you've seen it.

00:04:27.440 But what they're really trying to do here is not just some, you know, very significant

00:04:31.980 administrative bureaucratic reform.

00:04:34.520 No, they're trying to get rid of the functions that the Department of Education provides.

00:04:38.480 And that is 30 percent of it is to Title I, which is for low income people.

00:04:42.080 So that is designed to punish the school districts that have low incomes.

00:04:45.880 That's 180,000 teachers.

00:04:47.640 Bam, right there.

00:04:48.580 That relies extensively or exclusively on Title I funding that they want to get rid of.

00:04:52.720 And then the other part of it, and this is sort of came up so far in the discussion, is

00:04:56.100 through the grant making programs for universities and loans to either reduce that and the stuff

00:05:01.460 that you can't reduce, privatize that.

00:05:03.440 But this is about culture change.

00:05:06.540 It is about eliminating and reducing an educated populace.

00:05:11.180 And to the extent that you are keeping it in place by giving it back to the States,

00:05:14.880 we know what that means.

00:05:16.000 It means more power for the already dominant right wing narrative that we're dealing with.

00:05:19.780 Today, we take a very historic action that was 45 years in the making.

00:05:25.480 In a few moments, I will sign an executive order to begin eliminating the federal Department

00:05:31.480 of Education once and for all.

00:05:43.060 And it sounds strange, doesn't it?

00:05:45.240 Department of Education, we're going to eliminate it.

00:05:47.700 And everybody knows it's right.

00:05:50.400 And the Democrats know it's right.

00:05:52.560 And I hope they're going to be voting for it, because ultimately it may come before them.

00:05:56.760 But everybody knows it's right.

00:05:59.280 And we have to get our children educated.

00:06:01.820 We're not doing well with the world of education in this country.

00:06:07.780 And we haven't for a long time.

00:06:09.260 I was very lucky.

00:06:13.300 I saw another document that turned out to be very good for the country.

00:06:17.400 And I said, let's use that same pen.

00:06:19.020 I don't know.

00:06:19.460 Is anybody superstitious?

00:06:20.940 Ron, are you superstitious?

00:06:23.060 Let's use that same pen.

00:06:24.460 I don't know.

00:06:25.700 Let's use that pen.

00:06:35.680 Thank you.

00:06:40.580 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.

00:07:10.560 We're going to fight for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.

00:07:15.400 You're just not going to get a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.

00:07:19.640 The people have had a belly full of it.

00:07:21.620 I know you don't like hearing that.

00:07:23.040 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.

00:07:25.680 It's going to happen.

00:07:26.940 And where do people like that go to share the big lie?

00:07:30.340 Mega Media.

00:07:31.700 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

00:07:37.040 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

00:07:40.560 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

00:07:47.300 War Room.

00:07:48.100 Here's your host, Stephen K.

00:07:50.160 Bannon.

00:07:50.520 It's Thursday, 20 March, year of our Lord, 2025, a historic day.

00:08:01.340 Mark it down in your book, the day that Donald John Trump signed an executive order that started the process of shutting down the Department of Education.

00:08:09.720 It's something, as you saw at the beginning, that people have tried to do since Ronald Reagan.

00:08:14.840 Ronald Reagan tried it, but done under pressure.

00:08:17.000 Or at least we start the journey.

00:08:18.400 I believe by the time the War Room's over, the late afternoon and early evening show, that someone will go into federal court.

00:08:26.340 One of these lefties will go into federal court, you know, venue shopping to try to sue the administration to stop this and have a nationwide TRO.

00:08:35.000 So we'll see that.

00:08:35.640 Mike Davis is going to be here at 530 with an update on the judicial coup.

00:08:39.740 I want to go to Brian Glenn.

00:08:41.880 Brian, I tell you, Angelo Caroussin, the president of Media Matters, and, you know, he's done a good job of writing the ship over there.

00:08:51.520 They're one of the marketing departments of the War Room.

00:08:54.680 I could just play that clip over and over again.

00:08:56.620 I mean, he's putting you and me out of business, brother.

00:08:59.300 There's no need for us.

00:09:00.380 He kind of nailed it exactly what the problem with the education system, the problem we have with it.

00:09:06.880 Tell me, you were there today.

00:09:08.240 I was a little surprised the president didn't take any questions, but it was quite dramatic signing with the children in back, signing and holding up.

00:09:15.780 Tell us, put us in the room.

00:09:18.540 Well, he's that TV producer.

00:09:20.880 He is an incredible TV producer as far as the imaging goes.

00:09:24.740 We had an idea that it would look similar to that, of having the kids behind him and obviously governors out in the audience,

00:09:32.800 Governor Landry of Louisiana DeSantis, Governor Greg Abbott, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick.

00:09:38.240 Among others, Ken Paxton there.

00:09:40.480 So it was kind of the who's who in Republican governors and lawmakers.

00:09:44.380 And, of course, you had Virginia Foxx and some others in the crowd as well. 0.60

00:09:47.260 But just what a moment that was.

00:09:49.040 And came out, delivered kind of an opening statement about, you know, seven, eight to eight minutes long.

00:09:54.500 And then sat down and used that pen he used the other day to sign this thing in order.

00:09:59.440 And, of course, your cold open is brilliant.

00:10:02.020 You know, we don't even need talent anymore.

00:10:03.520 Just put a 45-minute cold open together and you can just fire the both of us and just let that roll.

00:10:09.960 That's what you need to do.

00:10:11.120 Now, that's good television, Steve.

00:10:12.820 That's good television.

00:10:13.780 But, yeah, what a moment to see this thing finally get inked.

00:10:19.100 And, of course, it does take Congress and Senate to really finalize this.

00:10:23.500 And, of course, Linda McMahon is going to put herself out of a job. 1.00

00:10:26.840 But I think she's okay with that.

00:10:29.960 Well, it takes Congress and them maybe to finalize it.

00:10:32.780 But there's a lot you can do.

00:10:33.920 Remember, this is essentially a money laundering operation from taxpayers to the credential class and colleges.

00:10:40.080 And President Trump, he already cut off his alma mater.

00:10:43.100 I think you're going to be shocked at how many tens of billions, if not hundreds of billions of dollars,

00:10:47.360 it's going to be shut off immediately.

00:10:48.440 Brian Glenn, your thoughts?

00:10:50.900 Yeah, that's a great point.

00:10:52.700 My question to him would have been, as a very successful business owner and a business developer,

00:10:58.660 was this the worst ROI in American history?

00:11:02.280 $3 trillion to only result to the bottom of the barrel.

00:11:07.120 And if this was a business, you'd have an F by the Better Business Bureau.

00:11:11.540 And you might be out of business already.

00:11:14.200 But, you know, he's reshaping education.

00:11:18.240 He's really putting it a priority.

00:11:20.240 And he knows the future of this country.

00:11:22.260 Not only lays in the office behind us with policies, but also lies with the kids right now in school,

00:11:27.820 making sure we've got the best of the best in the world to take over these jobs that are coming.

00:11:33.100 So just a great day here at the White House and very proud to be a part of the coverage, Steve.

00:11:40.620 Brian, you talked about the president producing.

00:11:43.600 He's both producing or starring.

00:11:45.300 I think Susie Wiles may be the director.

00:11:48.000 Trump's the executive producer, but he's also the star.

00:11:50.300 I want to ask you because I think today was very, I think it was very, everything's information warfare and Trump understands this.

00:11:58.240 My theory of the case is the reason he didn't take questions,

00:12:01.900 he would have people like you ask reasonable, smart questions that would have a deeper answer.

00:12:06.740 You'd get a couple of snarky.

00:12:08.460 But I think he just wanted this to be just so raw with the kids signing, holding it up,

00:12:12.960 and let basically the Rachel Maddow and the people at MSNBC tonight in primetime suck on that, right?

00:12:20.200 No commentary, no talk afterwards, no Brian Glenn speech.

00:12:25.380 It's just, baby, it's yours.

00:12:27.040 You deal with it because their heads are already blowing up.

00:12:30.920 Yeah, no, you're right.

00:12:32.320 And you know that you'd have some reporter talk about Gaza or talk about some unrelated subject,

00:12:37.360 which he does not like to address at something like this.

00:12:40.840 He would even tell you it's inappropriate for that question right now.

00:12:44.880 I'm glad he didn't take questions.

00:12:46.580 And I love it as he held up the EO and was just like, you know, here it is, you know, in your face.

00:12:53.060 And, of course, I can't wait to see the coverage of that tonight on the other stations,

00:12:58.560 on the networks that a lot of our audience doesn't watch.

00:13:01.040 But, unfortunately, we watch it for them, Steve, so that they don't have to.

00:13:04.400 And you bring it to them tomorrow on The War Room.

00:13:07.260 Brian, can you hang on, and I want to hold you through the break.

00:13:12.420 I've got some other questions.

00:13:15.380 There's so much going on, fighting on so many fronts.

00:13:18.840 Mike Davis is going to be with us at 530.

00:13:21.080 We're going to talk about new updates in what Brian Glenn, I think, has called a judicial coup d'etat,

00:13:28.620 an insurrection to a coup d'etat because now they're trying to drive Trump, I think, from office.

00:13:33.700 That's why this impeachment is so important.

00:13:36.540 Folks, they're going to come in hard on the Department of Education.

00:13:39.680 They're not going to back off anything.

00:13:41.180 These people are all gas, no brake right now, just like we are.

00:13:45.860 I think that means there's going to be a collision.

00:13:48.940 Neither side is prepared to compromise because the fate of the republic hangs in the balance.

00:13:54.380 The unitary executive theory, that's the idea, and you're seeing the concept played out,

00:14:03.380 thought through by, you know, Project 2025, but also others.

00:14:07.700 The America First Policy Institute, by Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins,

00:14:12.700 the American First Law Institute, from Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller.

00:14:18.580 This was also all done work by Mark Paoletta, Jeff Clark, over at CRA,

00:14:26.460 Center for Renewing America, with the great Russ Vogt in charge.

00:14:30.500 Many, many years people worked through this, every detail of it.

00:14:35.240 The judicial insurrection, I think, is getting ready for a collision course with reality.

00:14:41.560 As the Trump movement, the MAGA movement, and President Donald John Trump,

00:14:48.120 the 47th President of the United States, does not double down, he triples down.

00:14:52.840 He took a pin out today and eradicated the Department of Education. 0.99

00:14:56.920 Suck on that. 1.00

00:14:59.420 You don't go out and buy a life jacket when the boat is already sinking, 1.00

00:15:03.080 and you don't buy gold when the economy has already collapsed.

00:15:06.700 Clearly, others are heeding this advice as gold hit an all-time high the first part of 2025, multiple times.

00:15:14.320 It's not too late for you.

00:16:11.720 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

00:16:20.100 Brian Glenn, our own Brian Glenn, is at the White House.

00:16:22.640 Brian, I know you've got to bounce.

00:16:23.800 I just want your thoughts.

00:16:24.580 I know today's a historic day.

00:16:26.060 We've been so focused on the Department of Education.

00:16:28.360 But everything else that's going on, every time President Trump takes an executive action,

00:16:33.220 every time President Trump signs an executive order, virtually immediately,

00:16:37.640 the only thing the Democrats have going for him is to jump right in to go to federal court

00:16:41.660 and try to slow things down.

00:16:43.280 Remember, to delay is to deny, and that is your strategy.

00:16:47.180 Thoughts, Brian Glenn, before you take off?

00:16:50.580 Absolutely.

00:16:51.300 That's what they do.

00:16:52.060 They head to the courts, but the good news is, as far as the public opinion, the court

00:16:56.480 of public opinion, some of the things they're standing for and some of the things they're

00:17:00.120 resisting, they're not winning.

00:17:02.740 So they're not winning on the public court of opinion, and I think when it's all said

00:17:06.040 and done, Steve, they're not going to win in the courts.

00:17:08.500 We cannot allow, with the equivalency of your local librarian controlling what the state

00:17:14.600 does or even what the city does in that region.

00:17:18.480 So I think this is all going to get, and it might go through the courts, but the Republicans

00:17:22.440 are prepared.

00:17:23.900 Stephen Miller has been very vocal about that as well, prepared to win.

00:17:27.780 But right now, let the Democrats stand for open borders, letting, you know, murders and

00:17:33.320 criminals roam the streets and also be against and actually encourage some of the violence

00:17:39.900 we've seen towards people who even own a Tesla.

00:17:42.260 If that's what they stand for, Steve, let them go.

00:17:44.360 We stand for everything else, and of course, just another historic day here at the White

00:17:48.640 House, and we'll be back here tomorrow morning on American Sunrise, and of course, I'll see

00:17:52.520 you back here tomorrow, perhaps on War Room.

00:17:54.840 We'll do this one more time, Steve.

00:17:56.520 One more time.

00:17:58.960 Brian, real quickly, I know that the FBI is looking into Tesla, and they're also looking

00:18:04.200 to swatting.

00:18:05.200 Is the president, are you hearing anything from the staff about the huge protest at Trump Tower,

00:18:11.780 other violence around the country against MAGA, Republicans, etc.?

00:18:16.880 Is the White House now starting to become aware of this, that this violence of the Democrats

00:18:20.660 is starting to escalate?

00:18:23.180 Yeah, very, very well.

00:18:24.680 I think earlier, Pam Bondi, actually, they filed charges against a couple individuals in

00:18:29.200 charge of these Molotov cocktails thrown at dealerships to burn cars.

00:18:34.060 They will be charged, and I think it's a minimum of five years.

00:18:37.520 They're not playing around here, five years to 20 years, depending on what they're ultimately

00:18:42.420 charged with and found guilty of.

00:18:45.280 But these individuals are taken very seriously.

00:18:47.740 They're not going to play around.

00:18:48.520 This cannot get out of control like the Summer of Love that we saw in 2020, where they righted

00:18:53.320 across this country, burning down cities, looting businesses.

00:18:56.860 We cannot allow that to happen.

00:18:58.820 And then you have people on late-night TV actually encouraging and almost laughing at the

00:19:04.100 notion of Tesla dealers being, you know, victimized and really attacked just for driving their

00:19:11.900 vehicle.

00:19:12.440 So I like that Pam Bondi and this Trump administration is getting out in front of this and letting

00:19:18.020 these people know, if you burn down a dealership, you burn a car, you vandalize someone, that

00:19:24.060 is considered domestic terrorism.

00:19:25.560 And we're going to throw the book at you and make sure that you pay the price for that.

00:19:30.140 So it's good that we're getting out in front of this, Steve.

00:19:35.480 Brian, what is your social media so folks can follow you?

00:19:39.860 Wonderful.

00:19:40.420 You can follow me at BrianGlennTV across the board.

00:19:43.620 You can follow me at Brian on Truth Social.

00:19:46.020 And as always, Steve, it's a pleasure to come on the show.

00:19:48.440 And thanks to the War Room Posse.

00:19:50.140 I think we're all, we're moving the needle here at the White House.

00:19:53.280 And I want to thank everybody for watching and putting your, moving the needle.

00:19:57.200 Moving the change too.

00:20:01.020 Brian Glenn, thank you so much from the White House.

00:20:03.120 We're going to go back.

00:20:03.980 I think we've got a special guest going to join us in a moment.

00:20:05.940 I want to play this.

00:20:06.740 I want to replay Alicia Menendez on MSNBC this afternoon with Media Matters president, because

00:20:13.740 he sums it up perfectly, exactly what the case is.

00:20:16.360 Let's go ahead and play it.

00:20:17.420 Angela, there's a chapter on the Department of Education in Project 2025 that is not news

00:20:23.620 to you.

00:20:24.240 You have read through that document.

00:20:25.700 You tried to warn people that this was the playbook they were going to run.

00:20:29.420 The first line of that reads, federal education policy should be limited.

00:20:34.120 And ultimately, the federal Department of Education should be eliminated.

00:20:38.200 The administration can't actually eliminate it, as you know, as anyone who sort of understands

00:20:43.360 the basic mechanisms of this understand.

00:20:46.060 What is it they are trying to win here, a symbolic victory?

00:20:49.920 No, they want something much bigger than that.

00:20:51.660 I mean, and they've sort of been pretty transparent about it, especially in the last few months.

00:20:56.020 They see the Department of Education and more broadly the education system as sort of indoctrinating

00:21:00.960 people, young people, right at the beginning, that it's basically creating a whole pipeline

00:21:06.100 of, you know, liberal indoctrination.

00:21:08.080 And, you know, they've been pushing back at that on the edges.

00:21:11.100 You've seen this pop up at the states where, you know, they're messing with the curriculum.

00:21:14.640 They're replacing some books with, you know, PragerU.

00:21:17.380 You know, it's you've seen it.

00:21:18.900 But what they're really trying to do here is not just some, you know, very significant

00:21:23.240 administrative bureaucratic reform.

00:21:25.420 No, they're trying to get rid of the functions that the Department of Education provides.

00:21:29.780 And that is 30 percent of it is to Title I, which is for low income people.

00:21:33.360 So that is designed to punish the school districts that have low incomes.

00:21:37.200 That's 180,000 teachers.

00:21:38.920 Bam, right there.

00:21:39.860 That relies extensively or exclusively on Title I funding that they want to get rid of.

00:21:44.300 And then the other part of it, and this is sort of came up so far in the discussion,

00:21:47.200 is through the grant making programs for universities and loans to either reduce that and the stuff

00:21:52.740 that you can't reduce, privatize that.

00:21:54.620 But this is about culture change.

00:21:57.880 It is about eliminating and reducing an educated populace.

00:22:02.500 And to the extent that you are keeping it in place by giving it back to the states, we know

00:22:06.440 what that means.

00:22:07.280 It means more power for the already dominant right wing narrative that we're dealing with.

00:22:14.240 Angelo Karusan from Media Matters, about as articulate as you possibly get in walking through

00:22:22.740 exactly what the issue is.

00:22:24.120 Tim Wahlberg now joins us.

00:22:26.460 Can we get Congressman Wahlberg up?

00:22:28.180 Do we have him?

00:22:31.020 Okay, there we go.

00:22:31.960 Do we have Congressman Wahlberg?

00:22:36.080 Okay.

00:22:36.840 Congressman, you're the chair of the Education Committee.

00:22:39.840 How big a day is this for you?

00:22:43.180 Oh, this is an exciting day.

00:22:45.060 It's something I've dreamed about for many years while I was still on the Education Committee

00:22:50.480 as a member and now as chairman.

00:22:52.280 And I'm hoping, like Linda McMahon being the last Education Secretary, I'll be the last Education

00:22:58.700 Chairman in the House.

00:23:00.400 So this has an opportunity to turn education around, to take care of the student, the parent,

00:23:07.220 and the teacher.

00:23:08.180 We get those things right.

00:23:09.860 We get education right.

00:23:11.080 So, Congressman, explain it to people, because the left is already, you know, coming after

00:23:17.480 us hard.

00:23:18.680 How can you have a Education Department that hasn't, I mean, why do you say it's a great

00:23:23.220 day, that you want to get rid of the Education Committee, Department of Education?

00:23:27.920 You know, we've put $3 trillion into this.

00:23:30.000 I think the budget's, what, a couple hundred billion dollars.

00:23:32.700 Why has it been an epic fail in your eyes?

00:23:34.920 Because I know you guys are trying to work this program and monitor the budget and appropriate.

00:23:38.780 Why has it been such a failure that we had to get rid of it?

00:23:44.240 Well, because we took it away, the real power away from the parents, the states, the local

00:23:50.500 school districts.

00:23:51.560 We put them under the weight of huge amounts of bureaucracy, red tape, paperwork.

00:23:58.820 We gave them a little bit of money.

00:24:01.260 Between 8% and 13% of the K-12 schools' dollars come from the feds.

00:24:07.780 But over 90% of their bureaucratic paperwork that all have cost not only dollars and cents,

00:24:15.760 but also an impact in the classroom, allowing the teacher to do what he or she desires to

00:24:21.240 do.

00:24:21.600 There are great teachers that simply want more student face time, that they can do the job

00:24:27.540 they want to do.

00:24:28.300 And so, while we are looking to remove a department, the bureaucracy, we know that some of the programs

00:24:37.520 are good and that states will up them and the competition between states and local school

00:24:43.360 districts can provide an educational system that works.

00:24:46.500 Remember, we've had this Department of Education only since 1980.

00:24:50.860 Before that, we had the agricultural revolution, the industrial revolution, and that all came

00:24:57.200 with local control and education that made a difference in people's lives.

00:25:01.320 The bulk of this funding, I think a lot of it goes to colleges, and they're already complaining.

00:25:09.620 The credential class is already complaining and saying, hey, this is nothing but a bunch

00:25:13.000 of, this is an angry populist movement that is vindictive, jealous of educated people, that

00:25:19.880 the rubes of the MAGA movement, the rubes of the Trump movement, this is just to get even

00:25:23.900 with people that happen to be their betters and more highly educated.

00:25:27.960 Your response, sir?

00:25:31.580 Well, my response is that's wrong-headed.

00:25:34.520 We're not opposing quality education or educational opportunity for everyone, whether it be in a

00:25:41.360 trade school, apprenticeship program, a community college, or a four-year institution, and graduate

00:25:46.640 level training, whatever is necessary.

00:25:48.800 But we want that to be education that prepares people, trains people, educates them,

00:25:53.900 for the real-world experience, and it also doesn't undermine the morality and the traditional

00:26:00.200 values that has made America what it has become, really the focal point for the rest of the

00:26:07.420 world.

00:26:08.420 So the educrats that are in some of these higher education institutions don't like to see change

00:26:14.180 because they have control.

00:26:16.080 If they lose control and have to compete, that's a challenge for them.

00:26:21.100 I'd like to give them that challenge.

00:26:22.880 Some of them will compete.

00:26:24.500 Others will have to go away.

00:26:26.180 You have some great universities in Michigan.

00:26:30.880 Do you think, you know, University of Michigan, Michigan State, have the heads of those universities

00:26:36.060 come to you?

00:26:37.060 Have they said, hey, this is the type of hit that we can't have this gap in our budget?

00:26:41.300 We know that you guys are also looking at cutting research, that we're not going to be able

00:26:45.500 to go on, that we're going to be an economic extremist, sir?

00:26:51.300 Well, I see schools like University of Michigan deciding to compete.

00:26:57.100 They're Wolverines.

00:26:58.520 They're tenacious.

00:26:59.360 I've had conversations with the top leadership.

00:27:02.780 And they're willing to compete.

00:27:05.400 They've indicated that they will do what's necessary to make sure that any research that

00:27:11.600 they do, if it's appropriate and the Fed funds are there to do it, it'll be done right.

00:27:18.660 Congressman, can you hear me one second?

00:27:20.180 I want to take a short break.

00:27:23.840 It's a short commercial break.

00:27:25.100 I want to ask you about this executive order and how it's actually going to be implemented

00:27:29.380 in the House of Representatives and the broader government.

00:27:32.340 Short commercial break.

00:27:33.240 Congressman Tim Wahlberg is with us.

00:27:34.840 Mike Davis is going to join us.

00:27:36.200 We'll be back after a short commercial break.

00:27:38.420 Believe.

00:27:41.560 Believe.

00:27:45.640 Open your eyes.

00:27:47.240 No time to be blind.

00:27:48.760 Open your mind to see.

00:27:52.400 We're in a modern day.

00:27:54.860 Holy war.

00:27:56.680 Coming after your mind to find yours.

00:28:11.640 What if you had the brightest mind in the war room delivering critical financial research

00:28:16.520 every month?

00:28:17.160 Steve Bannon here.

00:28:18.840 War room listeners know Jim Rickards.

00:28:20.860 I love this guy.

00:28:22.320 He's our wise man.

00:28:23.300 A former CIA, Pentagon and White House advisor with an unmatched grasp of geopolitics and capital

00:28:28.940 markets.

00:28:29.920 Jim predicted Trump's Electoral College victory exactly 312 to 226 down to the actual number

00:28:38.140 itself.

00:28:38.600 Now he's issuing a dire warning about April 11th, a moment that could define Trump's presidency

00:28:44.760 in your financial future.

00:28:46.340 His latest book, Money GPT, exposes how AI is setting the stage for financial chaos, bank

00:28:53.300 runs at lightning speeds, algorithm driven crashes, and even threats to national security.

00:28:58.400 Right now, war room members get a free copy of Money GPT when they sign up for strategic

00:29:04.120 intelligence.

00:29:05.160 This is Jim's flagship financial newsletter, strategic intelligence.

00:29:10.060 I read it.

00:29:11.080 You should read it.

00:29:12.160 Time is running out.

00:29:13.000 Go to Rickardswarroom.com.

00:29:14.840 That's all one word.

00:29:20.640 That's Rickardswarroom.com.

00:29:23.020 Do it today.

00:29:23.780 So, Katie, as you noted, the deadline was at noon.

00:29:28.420 There could be many reasons or really two principal reasons that we don't see it on the

00:29:31.800 docket.

00:29:32.400 One is the obvious one, that they haven't filed anything and therefore they would be in

00:29:36.120 violation of a court's order.

00:29:37.760 But there is a second possibility and sources with whom I've talked today have acknowledged

00:29:41.980 that particularly here, where you expect the administration perhaps to invoke that state

00:29:47.080 secrets doctrine instead of providing the information that Judge Boesburg called for.

00:29:51.880 Those were the two options he gave them.

00:29:53.260 Answer my five questions or invoke the state secrets doctrine.

00:29:57.100 If they're going to do the former, they may have done so.

00:30:00.140 Ex parte, under seal.

00:30:01.800 And that means it wouldn't necessarily have hit the public docket yet.

00:30:05.140 There could be a filing in his hands, just not one that we can see.

00:30:08.860 When will we know whether they did file it?

00:30:11.920 Could take a couple of days.

00:30:13.360 Obviously, the other party wouldn't know either because when you file ex parte, what that means

00:30:19.840 is that that's a filing between the filing party and the judge alone and not given to

00:30:24.980 the other side.

00:30:25.820 So we can't rely, for example, on the plaintiffs here represented by the ACLU and Democracy

00:30:30.480 Forward to necessarily be the ones that alert us to the fact that something has happened.

00:30:34.920 The federal judge at the center of the court battle over deportation flights is again blasting

00:30:39.840 the Trump Justice Department, saying the information that the administration handed over today is,

00:30:44.040 quote, woefully insufficient, end quote.

00:30:47.180 CNN's Evan Perez has been following these developments.

00:30:49.820 Evan, what have we learned?

00:30:51.380 Well, Judge Boesberg is chastising the Justice Department, Casey, because he says that what the

00:30:58.440 Justice Department provided to him today, which came after the deadline he had imposed, he had given

00:31:03.140 him a noon deadline to provide information, some more information about these flights from over the

00:31:08.360 weekend that carried these immigrants to the prison in El Salvador.

00:31:12.900 He had asked them to provide that information by noon.

00:31:15.240 He said they missed it.

00:31:16.540 They missed the deadline.

00:31:17.520 They actually provided information afterwards, but it was not what he had requested.

00:31:22.440 He had wanted more detail, more information about exactly who were on those flights, including

00:31:28.380 a third flight that took off after the judge had issued an order saying, turn those flights

00:31:33.620 around, do not deport anybody else until we have some more information.

00:31:37.700 And what he says he got was a written declaration from a lower level person at Immigration and

00:31:45.080 Customs Enforcement, and it is not answering the questions that he was asking.

00:31:49.200 And so what now we have is it appears a bit of a standoff between the Justice Department

00:31:53.880 and this judge, Judge James Boesberg.

00:31:56.880 He is the chief judge here at the federal court in Washington.

00:32:00.480 And he says he means what he says.

00:32:02.060 He wants them to provide more information.

00:32:04.460 And he can also giving them an off ramp.

00:32:06.560 He's saying you can declare that this is a state secret and I will go away, essentially.

00:32:10.740 Okay, that's better.

00:32:19.320 I don't meet myself.

00:32:20.220 Congressman Walberg had to bounce.

00:32:22.120 He's got to get to the airport, catch a plane.

00:32:23.440 We're trying to get him later.

00:32:24.440 But I'm going to ask Mike Davis these.

00:32:25.780 I had some structural questions to ask Mike about executive orders in these cabinets.

00:32:30.760 But I want to go and get back to this deportations, the unitary executive theory.

00:32:38.160 President Trump is commander in chief.

00:32:40.760 Mike, the attention on this deportation, this national security issue with the violent terrorist

00:32:48.720 gangs being sent out of the country by the commander in chief.

00:32:52.600 Correct me if I'm wrong, brother.

00:32:54.060 I'm not a lawyer, but it looks like it's heating up.

00:32:57.040 This judge is getting pretty nasty now in his responses and saying that the White House

00:33:01.980 response is woefully inadequate.

00:33:04.200 What's the latest and where do you see this thing headed, sir?

00:33:08.500 D.C.

00:33:09.120 Obama judge Jeb Bozberg, who was the presiding judge over the FISA court during crossfire

00:33:16.480 hurricane and Russian collusion, the biggest scandal in American history, is way out over

00:33:23.620 his judicial skis right now.

00:33:25.880 He is ordering the president and his team to do things that this judge does not have the

00:33:32.520 power to order them to do.

00:33:35.160 He does not have the power to issue an order from Washington, D.C. to tell the president

00:33:41.740 and his team to stop deporting international terrorists, designated foreign terrorists, along

00:33:48.940 with international criminal gang members.

00:33:51.360 Judge Bozberg does not have the power to order the president to turn around planes during the

00:33:58.340 middle of that operation.

00:33:59.820 The judge Bozberg does not have the power to seek this secret information from the executive

00:34:06.700 branch because it's not relevant to anything.

00:34:09.960 He has the power to decide and think about what this judge did, which is so both lawless

00:34:14.600 and dangerous.

00:34:15.580 He held a hearing, he ran into his courtroom last Saturday and held a hearing during the

00:34:21.860 middle of an ongoing military intel and law enforcement operation where we are getting

00:34:27.980 the most vicious, violent terrorist and gang members in the Western Hemisphere out of our

00:34:33.740 country.

00:34:34.860 And this judge exposed this ongoing operation, which endangered American lives and the lives

00:34:42.160 of our allies.

00:34:43.360 This judge Bozberg ordered these planes turn around in international law space, which he

00:34:49.640 absolutely did not have the power to do.

00:34:52.040 Did this judge understand that maybe, just maybe, we didn't have the security footprint in

00:34:58.740 America that you saw in El Salvador, where you had hundreds of military and police and other

00:35:05.700 law enforcement officials ready to take these most vicious, violent terrorist and gang members

00:35:11.160 and put them in prison?

00:35:12.380 We didn't have that footprint in America.

00:35:14.800 Did Judge Bozberg know how much fuel was on these planes when he ordered them turned around

00:35:21.480 in the middle of the Gulf of America?

00:35:23.400 It is very, very, very unlawful and dangerous what Judge Bozberg has ordered.

00:35:32.440 And now he's digging in and doubling down.

00:35:35.020 And I would say this, I've never called on anyone to ignore a court's order.

00:35:39.380 I have called on the president and his team to ignore this court's order because it's both

00:35:43.620 extremely lawless and extremely dangerous to our national security.

00:35:47.960 Why would a foreign country want to keep doing business with the president of the United States 0.93

00:35:54.880 and take such high risks if they think it's going to get exposed?

00:36:00.980 Hang on.

00:36:01.660 You've actually gone out of your way, Vice Roy, to actually argue the opposite.

00:36:06.420 You're saying, hey, even if some of these have been out of bounds, you have argued from the

00:36:10.000 beginning of this entire thing.

00:36:11.720 You should comply with this because as it goes up the chain, you want to show that the White 1.00

00:36:16.240 House has complied even if some of the TROs and injunctions have been outside the bounds.

00:36:21.900 Why is Mike Davis choosing this one to actually argue to the White House?

00:36:27.640 You should not comply, sir.

00:36:29.800 Because the president as the chief executive officer and the commander in chief has a constitutional

00:36:35.020 duty to protect American lives from danger.

00:36:40.820 And this lawless order by Judge Bozberg, it's not just that it was lawless.

00:36:46.280 It was lawless and very dangerous to American lives.

00:36:49.720 And that's why the president not only should have ignored this order, he had a duty to ignore

00:36:55.580 this order under Article 2 of the Constitution.

00:36:58.680 And I'm not saying that you should just ignore every lawless order from a judge because judges

00:37:03.540 issue lawless orders every day.

00:37:07.480 It's the fact that this was a lawless order that dealt squarely with the president's duty

00:37:12.620 as commander in chief to protect our country.

00:37:15.000 And again, think about what could have happened.

00:37:17.680 They turn around these planes to comply with Judge Bozberg and they don't have enough fuel

00:37:22.020 and they crash in the Gulf of America.

00:37:24.320 Or they turn around these planes and the people on the planes see that the planes are turning

00:37:30.760 around and they riot and it causes the American personnel on the planes to get injured or killed.

00:37:38.900 Or they turn around the planes and they bring them back to America and land and they don't 0.51

00:37:43.160 have the security footprints that we had in El Salvador.

00:37:48.300 And remember, Trendy Aragua is working with Venezuela, a state actor.

00:37:53.220 And so Venezuela certainly knows if these planes are turning around and where it's landing and

00:37:59.120 it could have its own operatives on the ground to interfere with the landing.

00:38:02.840 We would not have had several hundred military officers and law enforcement officers on the

00:38:09.700 return because we didn't plan on the fact that some crazy judge in D.C. was going to run into

00:38:14.460 his chambers on Saturday and issue this completely lawless order, right?

00:38:20.060 And so this Judge Bozberg has absolutely crossed the red line.

00:38:26.420 That's why we are calling for his impeachment at the Article III project.

00:38:31.020 We've never done that. We've never said to ignore a lawless order.

00:38:34.660 We've never said to impeach a judge over a lawless order like this.

00:38:38.480 But this is so extreme. It's so dangerous that it needs to happen.

00:38:42.560 Even if the House opens the inquiry, we need to make an example out of Bozberg. 1.00

00:38:48.220 Even if he doesn't get impeached and removed by the Senate, we need to make an example out of him.

00:38:52.700 There needs to be a deterrence.

00:38:53.900 We need Judge Bozberg paying severe legal, political, and financial consequences for his

00:38:59.820 dangerous, lawless order that put our national security at risk, that put the president's

00:39:06.020 ability to conduct foreign affairs at risk, to deter other activist judges.

00:39:10.700 I know this for a fact because these D.C. judges don't understand who's in the room with them.

00:39:15.680 I know this for a fact that they are giddy about who's going to issue the next so-called

00:39:21.680 temporary restraining order to sabotage President Trump because they have political and policy

00:39:27.600 disagreements with this.

00:39:28.820 And the Supreme Court refused to stop this two weeks ago with Judge Ali when this Canadian 1.00

00:39:34.520 citizen ordered the president to issue, to send out $2 billion in foreign aid over the

00:39:40.280 president's national security review, to make sure we're not funding Hamas terrorists and

00:39:44.800 under the guise of, you know, Gazan humanitarian relief, we're not funding waste, fraud, and

00:39:50.900 abuse like transgender mice research. 0.81

00:39:53.840 This Ali ordered this money to go out the door. 0.82

00:39:57.100 The Supreme Court refused to stop him because the Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy

00:40:02.360 Cody Barrett blinked.

00:40:04.800 And now that that happened, these judges are emboldened, right?

00:40:07.960 They are absolutely emboldened.

00:40:10.260 They are sabotaging the president.

00:40:13.420 And every day that the president is unable to perform his constitutional duty to take care

00:40:20.520 that our laws are faithfully executed under Article 2 of our Constitution is a day too long.

00:40:26.960 They talk about that Trump's the danger to democracy.

00:40:30.380 These activist judges are the dangers to democracy.

00:40:33.680 Okay, so Roberts came out and had this guy's back.

00:40:40.900 The guy's dug in since then.

00:40:42.840 The commentator right there, the observer said, I see they're providing an off-ramp.

00:40:47.080 I don't see an off-ramp.

00:40:48.680 How does this proceed in?

00:40:50.180 Because this guy's dug in, and one of the reasons he's dug in even more than when he started

00:40:54.260 is Roberts came out and put a shot across Trump's spell when the president said, we ought

00:40:59.700 to begin an impeachment inquiry of him, and Roberts said that's completely inappropriate,

00:41:04.780 that Mike Davis, the viceroy, the war room, the war and posse, we're out of line here.

00:41:09.500 So how do you see this one, specifically in this national security issue, how do you see

00:41:13.340 this ending?

00:41:13.760 The chief justice is completely out of line by coming out and making that political statement.

00:41:20.720 The impeachment is a political process strictly for the House and the Senate to decide, and

00:41:27.680 it's their decision whether to impeach and remove and no one else's.

00:41:31.780 And for the chief justice to come out and put up that statement is an outrage.

00:41:37.060 He poured political gasoline on a political fire, and this is what the chief does too often.

00:41:43.400 And he makes these little chiefy political moves where he thinks he's protecting the

00:41:48.700 court's judiciary, the federal judiciary's legitimacy, and all he's doing is harming

00:41:56.160 it by putting the federal judiciary into the political arena. 0.58

00:42:00.640 Did you see the chief justice put out any statement condemning Democrats when they were

00:42:06.740 calling for the chief justice's colleagues' impeachment after the Dobbs decision?

00:42:12.060 No, you didn't.

00:42:13.680 Did you see the chief justice put out any statement when the Democrats were calling for Judge Eileen

00:42:19.540 Cannon's impeachment after the presidential records case?

00:42:23.480 No, you didn't.

00:42:24.480 Why is the chief justice cherry-picking Jeb Bosberg, his buddy, on the D.C. district court, who

00:42:31.400 the chief justice put in charge of the FISA court?

00:42:34.200 Why is he protecting his buddy in D.C. but not his conservative colleagues or Judge Cannon?

00:42:39.040 And why is he being selective with his outrage on impeachment of judges?

00:42:46.060 Mike, can you hang on one second?

00:42:47.560 I want to continue this and put up the call to action over at Article 3 after a short commercial

00:44:55.800 We talk about the unitary executive theory.

00:45:03.800 Remember, we're a big believer here.

00:45:05.160 Ideas have consequences, big consequences.

00:45:07.520 One is modern monetary theory.

00:45:09.460 This is a radical theory came out of France that has been a big driver of nations that didn't think deficits matter.

00:45:17.820 Well, guess what?

00:45:18.240 They do matter.

00:45:19.000 One of the reasons inflation is embedded into the system is $2 trillion deficits every year now for the United States, $37 trillion in debt.

00:45:28.360 It just keeps building.

00:45:29.300 Go to BirchGold.com slash Bannon.

00:45:32.180 Talk to Philip Patrick and the team.

00:45:33.840 Find out where gold is hitting an all-time high every couple of days.

00:45:37.020 It's not the price of gold.

00:45:38.500 It's what's driving the price of gold.

00:45:40.280 That's what you have to understand.

00:45:42.060 And that's what Philip Patrick, our End of the Dollar Empire series, all free, will help to explain that to you so you start to get some pattern recognition.

00:45:51.000 So go try it out today.

00:45:52.480 Modern monetary theory, the idea that broke the world, you can get it at BirchGold.com slash Bannon.

00:45:58.560 And talk to Philip Patrick and the team about this.

00:46:01.200 We talk about deficits.

00:46:02.100 That's the whole reason, Mike, you know, we're back in this Department of Education thing.

00:46:07.020 Let me get to that before I have the call to action because you're having a very specific call to action on impeachment.

00:46:12.660 This deficit, and what I was just talking about, BirchGold, you can't have these massive deficits because you're going to have inflation like the Weimar Republic if you don't take control of it.

00:46:19.740 Part of that is downsizing the government.

00:46:22.760 And Doge is out there on waste, fraud, and abuse, but there's also programmatic changes that can really take out big hunks.

00:46:28.120 And I keep telling you, you take it out by programs and you take it out by billets.

00:46:31.260 It's not just individual people.

00:46:32.780 You've got to get rid of the billets and the programs.

00:46:35.460 Here's what I think on TV, on MSNBC, they're blowing us up.

00:46:39.960 Walk our audience through in the unitary executive theory why President Trump can sign an executive order and therefore take a cabinet that was set up, a department that was set up as a cabinet official, I don't know, 50 years ago, 40-some years ago, and just with the stroke of a pen, get rid of it, sir.

00:47:01.280 Well, first, it's not the unitary executive theory because we're not liberals.

00:47:06.400 It's Article II of the Constitution.

00:47:09.320 And the president has the executive power.

00:47:12.760 And under the executive power, he has a duty to take care that our laws are faithfully executed.

00:47:19.020 That includes rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse.

00:47:22.440 So if there is something created by statutes, like if there's a department created by statutes, the president can't just eliminate, he can't just overturn that congressional statute.

00:47:34.920 But that doesn't mean that we have to have 75,000 employees at a department.

00:47:41.020 We can cut down the offices that are not created by statute.

00:47:44.820 We can cut it down to size.

00:47:46.620 And so you're going to see President Trump do that on a lot of these departments and agencies is that there might be a department created by statute, but that doesn't mean it has to have so much bloat.

00:48:01.180 So you can cut it back just because the president has discretion as the chief executive officer to manage these departments that are set up by statute.

00:48:11.120 And if he doesn't think he needs 75,000 employees, if he thinks he can do his statutory duty and faithfully carry out these laws with 500 employees instead of 75,000, he can do that as long as there's not a statutory preclusion.

00:48:27.280 Okay, hang on.

00:48:30.240 So whether it's USAID or Voice of America and all these other grantees at Voice of America or all these grantees that have tens of billions of dollars at DOE, those are all kinds of things.

00:48:43.120 You take it basically down to the deck plates, to the statutory minimum, right, that you're fulfilling that function.

00:48:48.840 And maybe over some time, Congress gets around that, but you take it down to the statutory minimum and you continue to function that way.

00:48:56.220 And in these types of things that you're looking at, you cut out programmatically 90% of the cost, roughly, something like that.

00:49:04.200 Is that the theory of how it's going to work?

00:49:06.900 It sounds like it is.

00:49:08.380 And so you're going to have Elon Musk and DOGE and these agency heads as the wrecking ball, and then the agency heads will work with Russ Vogt to clean up the mess.

00:49:17.900 And look, you see these mass layoffs in Washington, D.C.

00:49:23.140 Has any real American and real America felt any pain from this?

00:49:27.820 Is anyone losing any sleep or not getting dinner on the table because we're not funding transgender mice in Botswana or wherever the hell we're funding this stuff? 1.00

00:49:38.540 I mean, that's the issue is that these government programs are slush funds for the uniparty elite in Washington, D.C. 0.60

00:49:48.640 It takes money from real Americans in real America driving up the cost with inflation, driving up interest rates so we can make people in Washington, D.C. fat and happy.

00:50:01.380 We saw this during recessions.

00:50:03.020 We saw this during COVID.

00:50:04.060 America was struggling during these recessions, but what did they do in Washington, D.C.?

00:50:10.000 They just keep printing more money, and they get fat and happy when the rest of America, real Americans in real America, suffer.

00:50:18.160 So it's time that we put Washington, D.C. on a crash diet, and Elon Musk is doing that.

00:50:27.300 Now, give your call to action.

00:50:29.380 You're very serious as the viceroy that this guy needs to be impeached.

00:50:32.780 We need to go through the process, and people shouldn't worry whether in a trial in the Senate he's going to be removed.

00:50:38.040 It's the process.

00:50:38.740 Trust the process.

00:50:40.320 So where do people go?

00:50:41.420 How do they find out more about it?

00:50:42.700 What's the call to action here?

00:50:45.520 Article3project.org.

00:50:47.580 Article3project.org.

00:50:48.820 You can donate there.

00:50:49.760 Follow us on social media.

00:50:50.840 The most important thing, again, the war room posse does.

00:50:54.440 The superpower of the war room posse is teaming up with the Article3project and lighting up key officials.

00:51:02.400 And we're lighting up both of our home state senators and our U.S. House rep to impeach D.C. Obama Judge Jeb Bosberg for his extremely lawless and extremely dangerous order, where he exposed a national security operation on Saturday when he ran into his courtroom, exposed an ongoing operation putting American lives and allied lives at risk.

00:51:29.100 He ordered planes turned around.

00:51:32.420 Apparently, you know, I always say apparently, Bosberg is a trans black woman because I didn't realize he was qualified to be an air traffic controller until Saturday when he ran in there and did that. 0.87

00:51:44.460 So Biden must have made him an air traffic controller because he ordered these planes turned around.

00:51:49.740 He didn't know how much fuel was in them.

00:51:51.660 He didn't care.

00:51:52.340 He didn't care if they crashed in the middle of the Gulf of America.

00:51:55.080 He was going to make damn sure.

00:51:56.640 He didn't let his terrorist buddies with Trendy Aragla and his MS-13 buddies get sent to El Salvador.

00:52:04.360 Let's go to Article3project, Mike Davis.

00:52:07.080 Let's focus on the House Judiciary Committee.

00:52:09.040 Mike, what is your social media?

00:52:10.580 We've got about 20 seconds.

00:52:12.420 M-R-D-D-M-I-A. 0.99

00:52:15.100 M-R-D, Michael R. Davis, Des Moines, Iowa.

00:52:17.920 And I come in hot, as you say, particularly late at night.

00:52:21.440 So thank you, Steve.

00:52:23.780 Late at night.

00:52:24.020 God bless you, Mike.

00:52:26.920 This is a big one.
