Bannon's War Room - Episode 4400： Cutting Trillions Of Dollars And Cutting Off The Globalists

00:00:01.000 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.

00:00:06.000 Pray for our enemies.

00:00:08.000 Because we're going medieval on these people.

00:00:11.000 I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.

00:00:15.000 The people have had a belly full of it.

00:00:17.000 I know you don't like hearing that.

00:00:19.000 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that,

00:00:21.000 but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.

00:00:23.000 And where do people like that go to share the big lie?

00:00:26.000 MAGA Media.

00:00:27.000 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

00:00:32.000 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

00:00:36.000 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

00:00:43.000 War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Band.

00:00:50.000 Okay, welcome. It's Wednesday, 9 April in the year of our Lord, 2025.

00:00:55.000 A very wild night overnight.

00:00:58.000 Right now, Dow down 300.

00:01:01.000 10-year Treasury at 435.

00:01:04.000 It's kind of calmed down, coming back down.

00:01:06.000 The trading is a little more robust than it was earlier today in golds.

00:01:10.000 At, what, 3,070 bucks.

00:01:14.000 Make sure, first off, we need you on the ramparts this week.

00:01:17.000 Mike Davis, he reported live from the White House yesterday.

00:01:20.000 He might want to know why he was at the White House.

00:01:22.000 Hey, who knows? Inquiring minds want to know.

00:01:25.000 Mike Davis is calling for everybody to go to Article 3 project, get on the ramparts.

00:01:29.000 And he wants an impeachment of Boesburg, that radical judge.

00:01:33.000 Something on Substack right now by the great Julie Kelly, that's saying he's been slowed down for a while,

00:01:38.000 of intruding with President Trump and President Trump as commander-in-chief.

00:01:42.000 Think what's going to happen when President Trump ramps up the kinetic part of the Fentanyl War.

00:01:48.000 And the report coming out of Treasury today is that the Chinese Communist Party are essentially doing nothing on Fentanyl.

00:01:54.000 Anything that's being slowed down at all is because of Trump's tariffs on Mexico.

00:01:59.000 Make sure you go to Home Title Lock today.

00:02:01.000 $1 million triple lock protection.

00:02:03.000 The triple lock $1 million promise in protection.

00:02:08.000 And if anything happens, you're notified immediately.

00:02:11.000 If all else goes wrong, they put $1 million in a restoration project around that piece of paper that shows you actually own your real asset called your home.

00:02:20.000 That would be your title.

00:02:22.000 So go right now to HomeTitleLock.com.

00:02:24.000 The promo code is Steve25 and talk to Natalie Dominguez and the team, the education team over there.

00:02:30.000 Get all the details, but do it today.

00:02:33.000 Before we go to Kuala Lumpur, Jack Posobiec, this is your area specialty.

00:02:37.000 Southeast Asia, these partners, they've been – first off, they hate the Chinese Communist Party.

00:02:45.000 And they particularly have never had really great relationships with the Chinese, right?

00:02:50.000 Dynasty by dynasty?

00:02:52.000 Absolutely not.

00:02:54.000 And certainly Vietnam and the Philippines, I would put at the very top of that list.

00:02:58.000 There's no love lost there at all, particularly between the Vietnamese who are actually the last country to have really fought a war with China back in the 1970s at sea where the CCP and at the time the People's Liberation Army Navy showed their lack of sea lift capability.

00:03:13.000 But going with the Philippines as well, you've seen these massive trade incursions, the fishing rights, the fishing boats, the water cannons, things that have gone off in these Scarborough Shoal and all these different areas where China has been building these islands and claiming sovereignty over the entire South China Sea to their nine-dash line writ large.

00:03:32.000 But really, Steve, when you look past Vietnam and the Philippines, the Vietnam and Philippines, that's our frontline states against China in the South China Sea.

00:03:41.000 But a real strategic hub and key of all of this is going to be Singapore because with Singapore, you've got military access, you've got China naval base, and they have the diplomatic influence within ASEAN to reach out to folks like Indonesia or Malaysia because Indonesia and Malaysia have always kind of played the two sides against each other.

00:04:01.000 The relations are constantly making deals with China, of course, in terms of this.

00:04:05.620 So that's what you've got to be able to do because, look, if China wants to get their goods to market, currently they've got to go through the Straits of Malacca.

00:04:13.560 They've got to get that up.

00:04:14.800 And what's right there is the South China Sea and then Singapore.

00:04:18.840 This is, by the way, the reason – ASEAN is the reason that China is so adamant on exploring this northern route.

00:04:26.200 So if they can get a polar route, then they don't need the Straits of Malacca, they don't need the Straits of – they don't need the Suez Canal, they don't need the rest of it so they can go over the top.

00:04:35.380 But they currently aren't able to, and that's why ASEAN is such an important impediment to them.

00:04:43.940 So, Caroline, Ryan, you're there, and the Secretary of Treasury, Scott Besson, the reason markets kind of calmed down, they're a little choppy now, they calmed down actually in positive territories.

00:04:53.000 Scott did Maria Bartiroma and others this morning, and he talked about he's in active discussions slash negotiations with the Japanese, with the South Koreans, and the Vietnamese are actually on a plane with their delegation.

00:05:06.360 They're first in the queue.

00:05:08.400 How is that playing with the Chinese Communist Party?

00:05:11.860 We're live with you in Kuala Lumpur where the ASEAN conference is going on, ma'am.

00:05:17.420 I've been over here for a while. I started – I've been in Taiwan, Vietnam, the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, and now I just got to Kuala Lumpur.

00:05:29.160 And the ASEAN conference is happening here, and actually the chair of ASEAN is Malaysia.

00:05:34.280 And so what is really scary, what I've found from all these countries, everything Jack just said is absolutely accurate. 0.98

00:05:40.420 They love America. They actually – I mean, they're scared about the tariffs for sure, but they are so excited to come to the table and get to do a deal with President Trump.

00:05:49.420 What I've been doing over here is meeting with a lot of private business leaders, talking about the huge opportunity that they have right now to come make a grand free trade deal that involves investment in the United States, better relations for them with the United States.

00:06:01.600 You should see how excited folks are because they just – China comes into their countries and destroys them. 0.99

00:06:07.740 They come in and they do – they bribe the officials to be able to take these contracts.

00:06:12.260 They steal their rare earth minerals.

00:06:14.180 In Thailand, the building that just collapsed, I noticed that was being built by a Chinese company.

00:06:18.980 The earthquake, yes, while it was bad, it was not too bad in Bangkok. 0.66

00:06:22.000 There is no excuse for a building like that to collapse except for the fact that when you let China come in and run the construction in your country, it's terrible. 0.99

00:06:30.540 They're terrible trading partners.

00:06:32.280 They're terrible business partners.

00:06:34.080 And the ASEAN countries are looking to us for leadership.

00:06:36.740 They desperately want to make deals with the United States.

00:06:39.660 But President Xi is about to come in with a hammer and come after all of them.

00:06:44.180 And they are just terrified.

00:06:45.580 In fact, President Xi just announced – so as you mentioned, Vietnam is meeting, in fact, today with Secretary Besant.

00:06:51.060 They're the ones taking the charge and the lead to negotiate with President Trump.

00:06:55.960 Their general secretary was the first one to call President Trump.

00:06:59.020 They had a great call, so that meeting's happening today.

00:07:01.460 Well, what did President Xi do to counter that?

00:07:04.120 He announced that he is going to Malaysia, Cambodia, and Vietnam.

00:07:08.400 Keep in mind, he has never come to Malaysia.

00:07:10.520 He never come to these places.

00:07:11.940 He is going to come there and absolutely drop the hammer on these countries.

00:07:16.060 And so I do think right now it is very important that Vietnam's meeting goes well, that these other ASEAN countries have the courage to follow, which they are right now, and that the United States, that we are able to come together in a grand bargaining deal with these folks.

00:07:29.820 And we could really realign the world order here.

00:07:32.680 Yeah, remember, one of the situations with particularly the Southeast Asian countries, the ASEAN countries, is that it's not just the numerical part of the tariff.

00:07:45.400 It's also currency manipulation, counterfeiting, non-trade barriers.

00:07:50.060 So these are going to be tough to do.

00:07:51.580 They can be worked out, but we definitely have some work to do.

00:07:55.480 You're breaking some news.

00:07:56.840 Xi's actually – because I don't think Xi's ever actually visited these countries.

00:08:00.340 You know, the Chinese Communist Party is not beloved in Vietnam, although Vietnam is technically still run by a Communist Party.

00:08:08.380 They're not beloved given their ancient history.

00:08:11.260 And the rest of Southeast Asia has a big problem with a lot of the overseas Chinese that represent the Chinese Communist Party, as you said, trying to use predatory capitalism to take over. 0.99

00:08:22.000 So how is that – because I guess Xi's saying don't go to America.

00:08:25.480 You don't need to deal with Trump.

00:08:26.900 Deal with me.

00:08:28.240 I'm coming.

00:08:28.940 And, in fact, you should call off any involvement with the Americans. 0.65

00:08:35.080 Actually, I think what he's doing is he is bracketing – he is going to those countries who have announced that they are sending their delegations over to negotiate with the United States.

00:08:42.920 And he's doing that to say send your delegations home right now.

00:08:46.640 I'm showing up in your backyard into your country, and you're going to negotiate with me.

00:08:50.600 And so I think it is in the U.S. best interest to be taking all the meetings with these ASEAN countries right now, telling their delegations to stay in the United States, stay and negotiate with us.

00:09:01.380 There are certainly, you know, some big concerns that the United States has.

00:09:05.160 Like, there's been a lot of ways that we – these ASEAN countries can fix different things.

00:09:10.440 We brought up currency manipulation, different trade barriers.

00:09:13.300 But now we have all the leverage in the United States to do that.

00:09:16.680 That's why I think what President Trump is doing is brilliant.

00:09:19.900 I think we could not have better negotiators on our side than we do with Peter Navarro, than we do with Scott Bessett, than we do with Howard Lutnick.

00:09:26.520 I mean, we have the absolute A-team.

00:09:28.980 And we have these ASEAN countries that desperately want to make deals.

00:09:32.400 So I just think now is the time to do it.

00:09:35.860 And we have to show them that, you know, we are open for business.

00:09:38.920 We want their business.

00:09:40.000 We want to trade with them.

00:09:41.520 Do not be afraid.

00:09:42.420 I know it is very terrifying to have President Xi show up in your backyard.

00:09:46.040 But this is where the U.S. has to show strength.

00:09:49.280 And we have to hopefully make deals quickly with a few of these countries to show others that you need to follow our lead,

00:09:55.620 or else you'll be left to only be able to deal with China, which is not what any of them want.

00:09:59.940 Caroline, on social media, you've been on trip.

00:10:05.180 And by the way, I just want to make sure this was not inspired by the White Lotus, right?

00:10:09.560 Season three of the White Lotus did not inspire you to go take this.

00:10:12.380 All of a sudden, Caroline Renz in Southeast Asia, you were not inspired by White Lotus?

00:10:18.360 I've seen the other seasons, but I have no way to even get it over here.

00:10:22.520 So I've not gotten to see it.

00:10:23.600 A lot of people are asking me about it.

00:10:24.960 I've noticed there's like White Lotus bars.

00:10:26.960 But, no, I've been working day and night, meeting with private industry leaders.

00:10:30.760 There's so much opportunity here for prosperity in both this region and also in the United States and around the world.

00:10:37.460 These free trade deals, these package deals that Trump wants to do country by country, are just an unbelievable opportunity.

00:10:44.560 And with Vietnam specifically, April 30th is the 50-year anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War.

00:10:50.300 What better way to celebrate that than a grand free trade deal between these two strong countries and having an Oval Office ceremony and also ceremony commemorating the 50-year end of that.

00:11:03.660 So it's very timely right now, and I'm so thrilled to see how excited that these Asian countries are to do business with President Donald J. Trump.

00:11:13.820 Where do they go?

00:11:14.860 Where do people go to get you on your travels, ma'am?

00:11:18.440 It is at Caroline Renz on Twitter, Getter, and Truth Social.

00:11:24.600 Thank you, ma'am.

00:11:25.360 Appreciate it.

00:11:25.880 Appreciate you staying up late.

00:11:26.900 Jack Posobiec, is she going to sit there and let the United States try to work out trade relationships and have these guys actually take care of the currency manipulation, 0.99

00:11:40.100 all the ways they try to game the system and actually become fair trade partners with the U.S.?

00:11:44.780 Is the Chinese Communist Party going to allow that, or is this another front?

00:11:48.060 Folks, you understand, this is a global conflict between the Chinese Communist Party and the United States of America,

00:11:53.480 from drug labs in Mexico to the Arctic and everywhere in between.

00:11:58.260 Is she just going to sit there and let us cut deals? 1.00

00:12:01.680 Because Caroline's right.

00:12:03.220 The Asian countries remember what the Chinese have done to them. 1.00

00:12:07.160 They'll be all over trying to partner with the United States to do something.

00:12:10.720 Is China going to allow that to happen, sir?

00:12:13.600 Well, Steve, they're not going to allow it to happen, but it might not be up to them.

00:12:16.400 Look, you know, when it comes down to it, Xi Jinping arriving as a general secretary of the Communist Party, Chairman Xi going to ASEAN, this is monumental.

00:12:25.840 This is something that hasn't happened before.

00:12:27.560 Typically, the way the Chinese Communist Party talks with ASEAN is by bayonet or water cannon or building these islands up in their grill, up in their backyard, 0.88

00:12:41.080 and then sending their aircraft carrier out to run flight tests.

00:12:44.300 No, this is this is very, very telling that Xi Jinping is going himself, not by a delegation, not Wang Qishan.

00:12:51.860 No, he himself is going to be going to there to have this conversation.

00:12:56.680 And I wonder, by the way, I also wonder if Russia is going to be sending a delegation as well,

00:13:03.860 because now we're really going to start seeing the interplay here.

00:13:08.060 Plus, by the way, you've got a lot of other countries in the same region.

00:13:11.920 Look, we're talking about some major economies that do business that goes that travels through ASEAN as well.

00:13:16.700 We're talking about who? The South Koreans and the Japanese.

00:13:20.560 So who did Secretary Besson have dinner last night? 0.91

00:13:23.420 It was the Japanese ambassador, the Japanese delegation.

00:13:25.880 They came over for us. The South Koreans as well. Samsung, we all know about that.

00:13:30.060 Their power. Look, these economic deals have put everything, everything on the table as President Trump's economic restructuring of globalism has begun.

00:13:41.160 The great deal.

00:13:44.420 Jack Posobiec, you're back up at two.

00:13:48.160 I may pick your brain in the five o'clock hour.

00:13:50.240 Where do people get you? Where are the people get you in the interim, sir?

00:16:12.980 I think we're all on the same side when it comes to big government.

00:16:16.200 We want smaller government.

00:16:17.340 We want less taxes.

00:16:18.360 Well, tariffs are bigger government.

00:16:19.760 Tariffs are not bigger.

00:16:20.660 It's not a bigger government.

00:16:21.780 We're keeping big government out of American markets. 0.87

00:16:24.660 The Chinese government is the biggest government in the world, and every Chinese industry that's exporting their crap to America is an arm of the Chinese government. 0.98

00:16:34.440 They're directly subsidized by the Chinese government. 0.90

00:16:36.620 They get loans.

00:16:37.720 They dump their products in the American market at below market prices.

00:16:40.820 Well, there are a lot of countries that have trade surpluses with China.

00:16:43.180 Why is that?

00:16:44.240 Because they're selling them raw materials.

00:16:47.180 They're mercantile resource colonies.

00:16:49.180 Do you want America to be a mercantile resource colony?

00:16:51.640 There's always an excuse.

00:16:53.340 It's not an excuse.

00:16:54.480 It's an economic fact.

00:16:56.560 And I've raised this issue three times with you, and you don't have a response.

00:16:59.560 And I'd like to raise it again.

00:17:00.700 And I'd like to hear your response.

00:17:02.440 What's the issue?

00:17:02.960 Well, the fact is that Germany has a bigger government than America, and yet German industry is not offshoring.

00:17:09.420 China has a bigger government than America, and their industry is not offshoring.

00:17:13.860 Our stuff is going there.

00:17:15.600 So how do you grapple with that fact?

00:17:17.420 Well, first of all, define bigger, because we got the biggest government in the world.

00:17:20.800 We spend $7 trillion a year.

00:17:22.520 Nobody comes close to that.

00:17:24.400 So in sheer size, we're running the biggest government on the planet.

00:17:28.260 America's government is way smaller than Germany's per capita.

00:17:30.880 I think he's talking about the percentage of government spending the GDP.

00:17:33.320 Yeah.

00:17:33.700 Well, what are we at?

00:17:34.600 About 40% with state and federal government?

00:17:37.240 Well, I just wonder how you square this circle, where you're saying that, oh, America's industry is offshoring because we have big government.

00:17:44.360 And then you've got Germany and Italy, and they have bigger governments in America, France, and their industries are not offshoring.

00:17:50.940 And then China's got the biggest government of them all, and they're actually gobbling up our industry. 0.75

00:17:55.040 So I don't think there's anything to – it has nothing to do with big government.

00:17:58.780 And it has everything to do with insane, self-destructive trade policies that are instituted by globalists who are buying their pocket.

00:18:06.420 First of all, tariffs.

00:18:07.720 The issue is that America has purchased a net trade deficit of $24 trillion over the last 50 years.

00:18:15.840 And that's $24 trillion that could have been used to build American factories, to build American roads, to build American ports, to hire American workers, and to build our families and our communities.

00:18:26.700 All of that money went abroad.

00:18:28.240 It wasn't paid to American workers and wages, which it should have been.

00:18:31.580 Instead, it was sent to build up China. 0.71

00:18:34.040 You look at China since 2001. 0.53

00:18:36.240 That country is absolutely unrecognizable.

00:18:38.980 In 1984, the Chinese were driving around in rickshaws, and today they're going to the moon, and they're building missions to Mars.

00:18:46.000 And that was all 100 percent funded by America, by the American –

00:18:50.000 No, it wasn't.

00:18:51.540 It's because China was a communist country, and they got rid of communism and embraced free market capitalism.

00:18:58.240 And that's what enriched China.

00:19:00.800 It means to serve the best interests of the nation and the people.

00:19:04.260 And those interests transcend the simply consuming products.

00:19:07.980 The interests are to serve – to create beauty and to promote and protect the environment, to preserve a future for the people, not to maximize the current generation's benefits at the expense of our progeny.

00:19:19.940 But to deal with –

00:19:20.940 Spencer, who chooses what the best interest is for the United States public?

00:19:26.760 Who gets to choose that?

00:19:27.000 We the people, and that's why we elected – that's why Donald Trump got elected to do this.

00:19:31.360 Okay.

00:19:32.220 That's the whole point of it.

00:19:33.500 People want.

00:19:34.140 And the way to deliver the highest standard of living is the most amount of economic freedom.

00:19:39.660 When we're free to trade with one another, when people of one state are free to trade with people at another state, and people of one country can trade with people in another country.

00:19:48.580 Remember, America doesn't trade with China.

00:19:51.400 I'm an American.

00:19:52.140 I trade with a private citizen who happens to live in China.

00:19:55.500 We're two people doing business with one another, voluntary to our mutual advantage.

00:20:01.120 See, what you're doing is you're looking at the trade deficit as the problem.

00:20:06.260 The trade deficit is the symptom of the problem.

00:20:09.820 No, I'm simply recognizing that nations exist.

00:20:12.720 There are different levels of hierarchical organization and society over and above the individual.

00:20:18.440 An individual exists, but in an ontological sense, so does a family or a nation or a people, right?

00:20:26.780 You just don't understand what America is.

00:20:28.540 You're saying America is a market.

00:20:29.900 America is not a market.

00:20:33.160 America is a people.

00:20:36.940 A hat tip to Zero Hedge.

00:20:38.560 That was quite amazing, and I know it's going to get a lot more views.

00:20:42.200 I mean, you got a huge audience last night, but Zero Hedge ought to keep it up and push it hard because that was about as spirited as you could get in two different perspectives.

00:20:51.180 Spencer, your assessment, particularly given what's happened overnight, now this is flat-out economic war.

00:20:57.640 And folks in this audience understand this.

00:20:59.860 That's why you're the bedrock of the MAGA movement.

00:21:02.480 The unrestricted warfare of the Chinese Communist Party is now—I mean, the People's War is from 2019, but the unrestricted warfare has been for 20 or 25 years.

00:21:11.120 Spencer Morrison, your thoughts.

00:21:14.220 Well, I think it very clearly shows the difference between the libertarian and the America First movements.

00:21:21.720 And the reality is that libertarian is not just a morally bankrupt ideology.

00:21:26.560 Libertarianism is amoral.

00:21:29.700 Libertarians see people just as atomized individuals, as people who exist for the sole purpose of consuming and maximizing their pleasure.

00:21:40.340 And I think, you know, the America First crowd understands that people are not just individuals.

00:21:47.260 There are different levels of ontological existence.

00:21:51.220 You're not just an individual.

00:21:52.740 You're a son.

00:21:53.520 You're a father.

00:21:54.200 You're a member of a family.

00:21:55.660 You're a member of a community.

00:21:57.380 You're an American.

00:21:58.620 You're a man or a woman of the West. 0.97

00:22:00.880 And we share in all of this cultural legacy for thousands of years.

00:22:04.580 And it's our duty to pass this on to our progeny.

00:22:08.660 And what libertarians are seeking to do is they're seeking to maximize the advantages and the luxuries that they consume in this lifetime.

00:22:16.740 And I think we have to remember that we are one link in a chain that's unbroken going back a thousand years, and it will go into the future for a thousand years.

00:22:27.460 And we have an obligation and a responsibility to preserve America for the future, and not just America's economy, but also to preserve beauty, architectural beauty, to preserve the ability of the American people to exert rights and freedoms.

00:22:45.020 But those rights and freedoms come with the responsibilities of stewardship, stewardship towards, for example, the environment.

00:22:51.420 And I think it's very, very telling.

00:22:53.320 When I brought up in the debate last night that one of the externalized costs of offshoring, one of the reasons it's cheaper to do business in China is because they rape and they loot and they pillage the environment. 1.00

00:23:07.120 And they pump out all of these toxins into the environment that we end up breathing in and they end up poisoning our water supply.

00:23:13.280 And he laughed and he says, well, that's China's problem.

00:23:16.160 And I think it just goes to show how amoral the libertarian ideology is.

00:23:20.660 It's all about consumption.

00:23:21.980 It's not about production.

00:23:23.240 And they don't care if they destroy the natural environment.

00:23:27.260 They don't care if they destroy families.

00:23:30.120 They don't care if communities are hollowed out.

00:23:32.020 I mean, these people laugh when factories move abroad so that they can save 50 cents on a spatula.

00:23:38.440 They don't care about the relationships between people.

00:23:41.880 You know, when people, when a factory moves, a community dies.

00:23:45.100 And we've seen this all throughout the Midwest.

00:23:48.060 America's industries are hollowed out.

00:23:49.620 But guess what?

00:23:50.120 The towns are also hollowed out.

00:23:51.880 And people can't just move because people have, you know, children in school.

00:23:55.820 They have grandmothers that they need to take care of. 1.00

00:23:57.840 I mean, they've done genetic studies, for example, in Europe that show that people have been living in, you know, Italian towns, for example.

00:24:04.900 The DNA goes back 2,000 years.

00:24:06.840 Most people don't move around.

00:24:08.980 Most people are a part of a community and they live there.

00:24:12.580 They have their children and their grandchildren there.

00:24:14.600 And what globalism has done is it's created so much satanic economic dislocation that it's breaking apart families.

00:24:22.720 It's breaking apart communities.

00:24:23.760 And it's breaking apart the fabric of this nation.

00:24:26.060 Hang over.

00:24:29.040 This is fantastic.

00:24:29.940 That was a great debate last night.

00:24:31.060 I want you to stick around.

00:24:32.400 Dr. Thayer, by the way, Dow Jones up 100, 10 years at 4-4, gold's at 3,085.

00:24:40.240 It's going to be turbulent, folks.

00:24:42.940 You're living in Chinese curse. 1.00

00:24:44.460 You're living in interesting times.

00:24:45.760 Dr. Thayer, you heard Spencer Morrison.

00:24:48.640 You saw the debate.

00:24:49.400 You heard Posobiec.

00:24:50.200 You heard Caroline from ASEAN.

00:24:52.160 You know President Trump and his team.

00:24:56.340 You know the cut of the jib of the Committee on the Present Danger, what we've been arguing about for years.

00:25:00.580 Is this the moment?

00:25:02.000 Should we blink, sir?

00:25:05.000 Not at all.

00:25:05.980 This is the supreme hour.

00:25:07.540 This is the moment, Steve, to act as President Trump is acting.

00:25:12.740 It's important to remember it's April 9th.

00:25:15.700 It's 160 years ago Lee surrendered at Appomattox, essentially ending the Civil War.

00:25:21.700 And Lincoln then was obviously, having gone through that tremendous struggle, right, it reached its end.

00:25:31.000 I think we need to remember that date and remember what we went through to defeat really the greatest peril that we faced in the 19th century to recognize that Trump is going through something similar in the 21st century when he's confronting the Chinese Communist Party. 0.55

00:25:48.220 And Trump very wisely is waging economic war that they started, but that he's enjoined, right, after many, many decades of allowing them to get away with their abuses.

00:26:03.400 Trump's enjoined the economic war and is waging it supremely successfully against the Chinese Communist Party.

00:26:10.700 He's putting them in a box.

00:26:13.540 You've stressed, as others have, of course, this morning, that there are going to be responses from the Chinese Communist Party.

00:26:21.500 That's certainly something that we should anticipate.

00:26:25.300 And we should remain vigilant, of course, and resolute, steadfast, really, in that recognition.

00:26:32.020 But those responses are going to be ones with which we can deal, right?

00:26:37.140 If it's going to be the measures that you've described in terms of active pharmaceutical ingredients, right, these are going to be efforts we're going to have to address.

00:26:47.580 Oh, but he's got to – I'm going to put the Wall Street Journal up after a while.

00:26:55.300 They've got a toolbox.

00:26:56.540 There's going to be a lot more than that.

00:26:57.960 They're going to try to do a devaluation. 0.95

00:27:00.000 They've got the rare earths.

00:27:02.300 They think there's all types of basic technologies.

00:27:04.840 They can cut us out of component pieces.

00:27:07.260 I mean, hey, Xi is right now – if he was to lose face against the Americans, he's purged the military.

00:27:15.040 Would he still be able to hold the mandate from heaven?

00:27:19.220 I tell you what, Dr. Thera, hang on for a second.

00:27:23.260 On a turbulent day, and President Trump actually – I think he's going to be talking later.

00:27:29.600 We've got this whole Senate bill fiasco.

00:27:33.260 President Trump has come in.

00:27:34.380 I think he's committed to and promised $1 trillion in cuts.

00:27:39.320 Wasn't Elon supposed to deliver that?

00:27:41.420 I need to see some waste, fraud, and abuse, real money.

00:27:45.860 The market this morning, the reason that they kind of choked was not simply the overnight war, economic war between China and the United States.

00:27:54.480 It's also – they can't really put pen to paper on this tax bill.

00:28:00.120 Remember what happened to Liz Truss?

00:28:02.360 Just saying, you've got to put forward the numbers.

00:28:05.500 The math has to add up.

00:28:07.160 Short break.

00:30:59.260 Cameron Kinsey joins us.

00:31:00.660 Cameron, you were in the White House during the first term.

00:31:04.080 Days like today, when you're at economic war at the Chinese Communist Party,

00:31:10.120 you got the tariffs, they're stacked up, trying to meet President Trump,

00:31:13.320 world leaders, to talk to him and Bessett and Navarro about trade deals.

00:31:18.060 Tell the audience, what's it like on a day that is maximum activity in the White House, ma'am?

00:31:24.880 Yeah, well, I mean, it's just important.

00:31:26.780 I told you, I think last episode I did with you, I was in the presidential personnel office,

00:31:32.060 and we were making sure that the agenda was aligned with President Trump

00:31:36.260 and what he was wanting to implement and making sure that he had a team around him

00:31:40.540 that stuck with his agenda and wasn't going off doing their own thing.

00:31:45.180 So I think it's really important that making sure that his entire team is aligned right now,

00:31:49.880 that there's overcommunication in the West Wing of what's going on.

00:31:53.620 But look, this is America first leadership on full display.

00:31:56.420 We're taking the power back from these globalists who have, you know,

00:31:59.720 taken advantage of us for years on end.

00:32:01.840 We had such a poor display of weak leadership from Joe Biden's administration.

00:32:07.740 We weren't taking seriously on a global stage.

00:32:10.520 It was an embarrassment.

00:32:12.020 And so now we have President Trump back in, obviously, demanding that respect on a global stage.

00:32:17.080 And look, the pressure's on.

00:32:18.960 And I think a lot of people, it's going to see who's going to crack under pressure.

00:32:22.640 But luckily, he's got a great team around him.

00:32:26.280 A really great team.

00:32:27.840 And like days like today, folks, they are beavering away, head down, grinding.

00:32:33.460 Cameron worked for the great Johnny McEntee, one of the best.

00:32:35.860 Cameron, Ides of April, April 15th.

00:32:39.360 Why is that date important for American citizens right now?

00:32:45.140 Yeah, well, look, it's tax filing.

00:32:47.260 It's just days away.

00:32:48.340 That's the tax filing deadline.

00:32:50.620 Millions of Americans are facing stress from the IRS and confusion, Steve,

00:32:55.760 and like dealing with the letters that are coming in the mail, an aggressive IRS.

00:33:00.260 And so that's really where Tax Network USA steps in.

00:33:03.180 And we're fighting back against the government overreach that we've seen for the past four years.

00:35:02.400 Cameron, thank you so much for coming on.

00:35:04.120 I want to have you back on before Tax Day to do this again, because I want everybody to go and take it.

00:35:09.360 If you got a letter, don't put it in the drawer.

00:35:12.040 It's just metastasizing in there.

00:35:13.960 You have to deal with it, but there's a way to deal with it.

00:35:16.520 That's why we talk to the experts over at Tax Network USA.

00:35:19.720 Cameron, thank you so much.

00:35:20.680 And thank you for your service in President Trump's first term.

00:35:24.920 Thank you so much for having me, Steve.

00:35:26.220 Good to see you.

00:35:28.580 Good to see you.

00:35:29.260 These young people, the pressure over there is enormous.

00:35:35.380 And like she said, that was great.

00:35:37.460 Overcommunicate.

00:35:38.040 That's what they're doing today, working as the pressure is incredible.

00:35:41.160 As now out on the world stage, this tariff, like Ray Dalio said, is so much more than just tariffs.

00:35:48.000 It's deeper.

00:35:48.640 This is about a realignment of the world economic system.

00:35:52.480 Spencer Morrison, you've got to bounce.

00:35:54.540 I had a bunch of text messages from the engine room and from others saying last night that was a full MAGA flex, that you represent the MAGA movement magnificently.

00:36:05.000 So everybody wants to give a hat tip.

00:36:06.700 People want to know, Spencer, your closing thoughts and also where they get the book, where they get your writings, your social media, all of it, sir.

00:36:16.300 Thanks, Steve.

00:36:17.400 One comment I'd just like to make is that it's easy to defend our position because we're the ones who are right.

00:36:25.260 We have truth on our side.

00:36:26.640 We have economic history on our side.

00:36:28.660 Our side is the moral position to take.

00:36:32.200 And I think it's important that we get these points out there.

00:36:35.020 And I think a debate is a really great way to sort of showcase the two differences in the positions.

00:36:41.080 I mean, Americans are not just consumers.

00:36:42.660 You know, the people are members of families and communities in the nation.

00:36:47.280 And these ontological identities are real and they exist and they're worth protecting and preserving.

00:36:52.760 So you can follow me.

00:36:54.100 I'm a lot better in writing than I am in terms of speaking.

00:36:58.360 So, you know, if people want to follow me, they can get my articles.

00:37:02.920 Thanks, Steve.

00:37:04.160 My writing is pretty sharp, though.

00:37:06.040 I'm still polishing up here for the speaking.

00:37:08.140 But it's real S.B.

00:37:09.040 Morrison on X.

00:37:10.660 And then the book is available on Amazon.

00:37:14.920 You should be finding it pretty easy.

00:37:16.640 I think we're still doing the Liberation Day sale, too, I think.

00:37:19.900 So 25% off.

00:37:21.100 Yes.

00:37:21.640 Liberation Day sale.

00:37:23.080 25% off.

00:37:24.040 Make sure you go.

00:37:25.300 The book's going to like a second, third printing before I let you go.

00:37:28.740 So yesterday morning, you guys, look, and Peter Schiff is one of the most experienced guys on Wall Street.

00:37:34.700 Big firm.

00:37:36.220 He's got a podcast.

00:37:38.060 A very well-known guy.

00:37:39.300 A good guy.

00:37:40.000 Tough.

00:37:40.440 A libertarian.

00:37:41.220 He's up front.

00:37:42.260 These are his beliefs.

00:37:43.740 This has been with him for, you know, he's acted on that for years and years and years.

00:37:46.960 He was on the show yesterday and was fantastic.

00:37:48.980 He came out and it's like, boom, boom, boom.

00:37:51.060 And Spencer, who's kind of new to this, and I was the one to recommend it to the Zero Hedge guys.

00:37:56.060 First debate for me.

00:37:56.740 I said, hey, you might not know this guy.

00:37:59.040 Yeah, I said, this Spencer Morrison's a guy that this book is really starting to catch on.

00:38:03.040 The audience loves him.

00:38:04.420 And, of course, the guy's delining these guys.

00:38:06.540 So he's never debated.

00:38:07.400 I go, fine, he'll be terrific.

00:38:08.880 Then yesterday on the show, he was kind of very accommodating.

00:38:11.520 And I called him up after.

00:38:12.740 I go, dude, it's offense, offense, offense.

00:38:17.840 Always be on the attack in these things.

00:38:19.760 And you were fantastic.

00:38:21.440 So big difference from the morning show to the debate.

00:38:26.620 Spencer, it was.

00:38:28.120 No, but.

00:38:29.900 Exactly.

00:38:30.520 That's I'm just I'm the cut man.

00:38:32.540 OK, I'm just the cut man in the corner.

00:38:34.580 You were fantastic.

00:38:36.180 People very proud of you.

00:38:37.440 And folks learned a lot.

00:38:38.480 That's why I think it was so great with Peter Schiff.

00:38:40.120 And I really want to thank once again, the Zero Hedge, which is one of the best sites out there.

00:38:44.500 It's a morning requirement in the war room to get ready, prep for the show.

00:38:48.580 And it was fantastic.

00:38:49.840 Massive audience.

00:38:50.600 I just recommend Grace.

00:38:51.660 All of us have got to figure out how to push it back out because people learn a lot.

00:38:55.020 That's what I thought was so great last night.

00:38:56.560 It was very illuminating of the two different sides.

00:38:59.500 You did a great job of rolling out economic nationalism.

00:39:02.480 The book is reassuring.

00:39:04.240 Spencer Morrison, Morrison's the author.

00:39:06.420 One more time.

00:39:07.120 What's your where they get the book and which is social media?

00:39:10.760 So social media.

00:39:11.860 I'm active on X.

00:39:12.980 That's where I post all of my articles.

00:39:15.120 And it's real S.P.

00:39:16.400 Morrison.

00:39:17.340 Yeah, we see it on the screen there.

00:39:18.840 And then the book's available on Amazon.

00:39:20.320 It's also available directly from Calamo Press.

00:39:22.700 We've got an e-book that's out now.

00:39:24.500 And I think there's going to be an audio book as well.

00:39:26.800 But I don't think that's out yet.

00:39:30.380 Okay.

00:39:30.900 Thank you, brother.

00:39:31.960 Appreciate it.

00:39:33.340 Thanks, Steve.

00:39:33.900 God bless you.

00:39:34.340 Dow's down 100 now.

00:39:35.280 Up 100.

00:39:35.840 Down 100.

00:39:36.540 It's choppy.

00:39:37.540 It's going to be choppy.

00:39:39.040 President Trump.

00:39:39.780 Also today, I haven't had a chance.

00:39:41.960 On the 5 o'clock show, I was going to talk at the end of markets.

00:39:45.120 Brat's going to join me for the 5 and the 6.

00:39:49.060 And obviously, we'll do the end of the day and what's happening on the economic war with China.

00:39:53.260 And also, I'll be able to get a little bit more into the Senate reconciliation.

00:40:00.240 Here's one of the things I do strongly recommend is that Ray Dalio's got a great piece that's up.

00:40:08.920 And maybe I'll try to break that down with Dave Brett at 5 or 6.

00:40:11.580 And remember, Dalio's been in business with the Chinese Communist Party forever.

00:40:14.960 Bridgewater, he's made a fortune over there.

00:40:16.620 And Ray Dalio's no fan of the MAGA movement, no fan of President Trump, no fan of War Room or any of it.

00:40:23.260 But Ray Dalio does have a world of experience in global capital markets.

00:40:27.640 And he said something that's very perceptive.

00:40:30.100 This is not about tariffs.

00:40:33.400 Tariffs are the thing that came up.

00:40:34.980 But it's about not just the reordering of the American economy, right, for having people pick us off.

00:40:41.600 But particularly just having the job stolen and just continuing on.

00:40:45.580 When people say the economy is great, it's only been above water for one reason.

00:40:50.700 Massive federal spending.

00:40:52.940 Massive federal spending.

00:40:54.640 $2 trillion deficits for the last couple of years.

00:40:58.040 I think we've flooded the zone with $16 trillion worth of currency for these deficits and just debt we put on the books over the last couple of years.

00:41:07.320 It's just not sustainable.

00:41:08.820 I mean, he's very upfront.

00:41:09.840 The system that we existed in was not sustainable.

00:41:13.120 My issue with the Senate, and this is why it's going to take some time after this show for me to break it down, so I don't want to get too ahead of myself.

00:41:21.200 I don't understand it.

00:41:23.320 I'll be blunt.

00:41:24.100 I don't understand it.

00:41:25.040 And I've done a lot of restructuring work in my life.

00:41:28.700 And this is a restructuring.

00:41:30.560 Part of this, we have to have an adult conversation.

00:41:32.700 And this is why, remember, with all the differences I have with Elon Musk and their legion, I am one of the biggest supporters of Doge.

00:41:39.840 And the reason is I do think in the administrative state you need a special forces team that can get in there, particularly on the topic of fraud, waste, fraud, and abuse, right?

00:41:51.140 Because there's only two ways to cut the spending.

00:41:53.540 You either have to do it programmatically, as I said, over and over again, or you have to find the waste, fraud, and abuse.

00:41:58.820 We need to find out now.

00:42:02.000 President Trump's just come out again and said, hey, I'm cutting a trillion dollars.

00:42:05.100 And when Treznor says that, he means they're talking about on an annual basis.

00:42:09.760 The Senate bill, you know, it's only got four bain of cuts, and I realize that's something with the parliamentarian they've got to get across.

00:42:16.120 And even the House bill is only like $1.5 trillion over 10 years.

00:42:22.580 The math just doesn't add up here.

00:42:24.560 We have to have an adult's conversation of where's the waste, fraud, and abuse in the 25 budget and in 26.

00:42:35.980 That's got to be stopped.

00:42:37.040 Whatever Doge founds, it has to be stopped.

00:42:39.540 If we need to put impoundments now for money that's in this budget, it has to happen.

00:42:43.720 But we need to know what's the reality.

00:42:45.860 And secondarily, we need to turn those people over to the FBI and to the Justice Department and prosecutors or the D.C., wherever you want to do it.

00:42:54.340 The investigations have to start.

00:42:55.780 Number two, programmatically.

00:42:57.300 And this is why it's magnificent.

00:42:59.180 This hemispheric defense is one of the most brilliant ideas that's come up in American history.

00:43:06.740 It harkens back to the Monroe Doctrine.

00:43:09.920 President Trump's updated it.

00:43:11.300 It's quite, frankly, it's brilliant.

00:43:12.720 But does the defense budget, a trillion dollars, embody that?

00:43:20.820 The things on social programs.

00:43:22.860 We have a ton of work to do to think this through.

00:43:25.820 This is one of the reasons the bond market froze up today.

00:43:29.160 Economic war with China, an indecipherable Senate bill.

00:43:33.060 And it froze.

00:43:34.880 Short break.

00:43:35.680 Back in a moment.

00:43:36.160 What if he had the brightest mind in the war room delivering critical financial research every month?

00:43:47.800 Steve Bannon here.

00:43:48.840 War Room listeners know Jim Rickards.

00:43:50.500 I love this guy.

00:43:51.960 He's our wise man, a former CIA, Pentagon and White House advisor with an unmatched grasp of geopolitics and capital markets.

00:43:59.060 Jim predicted Trump's Electoral College victory exactly 312 to 226, down to the actual number itself.

00:44:08.960 Now he's issuing a dire warning about April 11th, a moment that could define Trump's presidency in your financial future.

00:44:16.560 His latest book, Money GPT, exposes how AI is setting the stage for financial chaos.

00:44:22.220 Bank runs at lightning speeds, algorithm-driven crashes, and even threats to national security.

00:44:28.220 Right now, war room members get a free copy of Money GPT when they sign up for Strategic Intelligence.

00:44:34.800 This is Jim's flagship financial newsletter, Strategic Intelligence.

00:44:39.700 I read it.

00:44:40.720 You should read it.

00:44:41.780 Time is running out.

00:44:42.640 Go to RickardsWarRoom.com.

00:44:44.480 That's all one word, Rickards War Room, Rickards with an S.

00:44:47.860 Go now and claim your free book.

00:44:50.020 That's RickardsWarRoom.com.

00:44:52.620 Do it today.

00:44:54.580 Here's your host, Stephen K.

00:44:56.860 Mann.

00:45:01.640 Okay, Dallas up 20.

00:45:03.960 It's flat.

00:45:04.900 No big meltdown today.

00:45:06.480 And that is with two sides throwing massive punches last night, the Chinese Communist Party and President Trump.

00:45:14.740 Just incredible overnight.

00:45:18.500 And now the EU's jumped in, but it's kind of, it's a little muted.

00:45:24.400 President Trump, in doing this reset, he's going to make sure all the pieces work.

00:45:30.360 And this is what Peter says about negotiations.

00:45:32.000 It's just not about the tariffs.

00:45:33.940 People come out and say, hey, the other parts are so complicated.

00:45:36.440 If you get a commitment, just do an interim agreement.

00:45:39.340 That may all come to pass.

00:45:41.340 You got Besant, and you couldn't have two better representatives of the War Room, could you?

00:45:46.640 Scott Besant and Peter Navarro.

00:45:49.340 Peter Navarro, literally a co-host here for a long time, and our brother in arms.

00:45:54.640 And Scott Besant, a contributor for the last couple of years.

00:45:59.140 Shouldn't be lost on you folks.

00:46:01.020 We had that huge fight over who was going to be Secretary of Treasury.

00:46:05.880 Remember, it was in Mar-a-Lago, even before we got to the whole situation of who was going to, you know, the confirmations.

00:46:12.860 And in War Room, and you're truly, we came out hard for Scott Besant.

00:46:18.120 We said, hey, you need a safe pair of hands for capital markets, because guess what, folks?

00:46:22.400 We're going to go through some choppy water.

00:46:24.620 And you're going to need like Scott Besant.

00:46:26.320 You're going to sit there, very professorial, and say, boom.

00:46:29.360 And didn't he do that during his confirmation here, trying to lit him up?

00:46:32.480 He's like a professor from Yale.

00:46:35.140 Very thoughtful, very reflective.

00:46:37.240 Hair's never going to be on fire.

00:46:38.340 Now, behind the scenes, every now and then, Scott Besant will get a little worked up.

00:46:41.300 But he's a good man.

00:46:43.300 He understands capital markets.

00:46:44.700 And people have respect for him throughout the world.

00:46:47.420 Finance ministers, all of it.

00:46:48.820 Now, certain other elements, I won't say Elon Musk, but certain other elements push hard for Herod Lutnick.

00:46:55.780 Now, Lutnick's a good guy, but he's a bond salesman.

00:46:58.320 That's exactly what you don't need in a situation like this.

00:47:01.400 And think about if he had been Secretary of Treasury right now.

00:47:04.240 Let me be blunt about it.

00:47:05.940 It would be very choppy, right?

00:47:09.940 So you have to think downrange from this.

00:47:12.780 And we're not going to get all worked up on things.

00:47:15.060 We have to country right now.

00:47:16.520 This is one of the most pivotal, if not the most pivotal, moment in the history of this republic.

00:47:21.780 And Dr. Thayer's right.

00:47:22.780 Dr. Thayer, take a minute or two to explain what you mean.

00:47:25.820 We've got to meet the moment now that this is the supreme hour for President Trump, the MAGA movement, and this republic, sir.

00:47:32.340 It is indeed, Steve.

00:47:35.100 And what President Trump didn't start an economic war.

00:47:38.260 The Chinese Communist Party started the economic war.

00:47:41.100 It's been waging it against us for many, many decades.

00:47:44.880 What President Trump is doing is responding to their economic attack.

00:47:50.540 And what he has done is brilliant because he's maneuvered the Chinese Communist Party into a regime crisis.

00:47:59.380 They already face a legitimacy crisis because they're communists, right?

00:48:03.620 And communists don't rule anywhere legitimately.

00:48:06.380 They don't rule with the consent of the Chinese people. 0.86

00:48:10.380 They're a colonial government that was imposed by the Soviet Union in the wake of World War II.

00:48:17.480 But what President Trump is doing expertly is maneuvering them into now a crisis that really is getting to the heart of that regime.

00:48:27.700 And now Xi Jinping has only stark choices with which to address the massive problem that he confronts.

00:48:38.380 And that is his economy is in free fall.

00:48:40.920 He doesn't have a solution to get the economy out of free fall.

00:48:44.640 It would only be the U.S. market that could assist him.

00:48:48.080 And Trump is denying him that economic market.

00:48:51.240 So what Trump is doing is doing his utmost to win this economic war so he doesn't have to fight a kinetic one at some point in time with the Chinese Communist Party.

00:49:04.200 But this is going to make it more dangerous than ever.

00:49:07.000 This is why Taiwan right now, the Seventh Fleet, ought to be on alert because Xi, he's got a toolbox of weapons used in this trade war and others.

00:49:20.820 But they're not above turning to ultra-nationalism and say, hey, the foreign devils are trying to destroy us and we've got to take our province back to Taiwan. 0.86

00:49:28.840 And Dr. Thayer, where do people go to get your writings, your website, also your social media, because your perspective, I think, now more than ever is needed?

00:49:40.380 That's right, Steve.

00:49:41.200 Just to stress the point that his response may not be economic.

00:49:44.020 It may be kinetic or biological.

00:49:47.180 It may be unconventional.

00:49:48.160 Keep in mind, there are tens of thousands of Chinese men, soldiers, very likely, who are in the U.S. that Biden allowed in.

00:49:56.660 That's very worrisome.

00:49:58.500 So you can reach me at Brad Thayer on X or Bradley Thayer Getter and at Truth.

00:50:03.040 Thanks very much, Steve.

00:50:05.680 We will drill down on that tomorrow.

00:50:07.500 There are tens of thousands of Chinese nationals here, young fighting age men that were allowed in in the great invasion that have not been shipped back to Venezuela.

00:50:18.160 They're not part of gangs.

00:50:19.260 They're laying low.

00:50:20.080 And that is a problem.

00:50:21.600 Chris Ray said the infrastructure problem was a huge problem.

00:50:24.480 We're going to get into all that because now we're at unbridled economic war.

00:50:28.000 We've engaged with the economic war they've been at.

00:50:29.880 Dr. Thayer, thank you so much.

00:50:32.420 Thank you, Steve.

00:50:35.380 Ken Paxton announced last night he's running for the U.S. Senate against Cornyn in Texas.

00:50:40.900 That's going to be a barn burner.

00:50:42.940 I want to thank Glenn Stern and the team at Patriot Mobile.

00:50:45.940 They're one of the big supporters of Ken Paxton.

00:50:48.160 We love Ken Paxton.

00:50:49.160 It's going to be a long, tough one, folks.

00:50:51.060 But that situation down in Texas has got to get sorted out.

00:50:54.520 It's a MAGA state.

00:50:55.600 Ken Paxton's a MAGA candidate.

00:50:57.280 They try to impeach him, and you, the audience, save that.

00:51:00.000 So we're going to get very, obviously, very involved in that.

00:51:02.280 I want to thank Glenn Stern and the team.

00:51:04.660 One thing I'll say about Stern, the company, Patriot Mobile, the service is incredible.

00:51:09.260 This is not about selling you on the company anymore because the company is unparalleled.

00:51:13.500 And particularly as basically a bastion of the alternative economy.

00:51:18.040 And don't think there's not still coming for you, folks.

00:51:20.160 This fight's a long way from over internally.

00:51:22.320 You watch MSNBC like we do every night and break it down.

00:51:26.380 And they're coming, and they're coming hard.

00:51:27.780 And Natalie Wenders does such a great job of talking about the color revolution.

00:51:32.360 Patriot Mobile is all about switching over.

00:51:33.920 Just 972 Patriot.

00:51:37.780 Talk to one of their reps.

00:51:40.000 You'll get the pricing.

00:51:41.640 It's super cheap.

00:51:42.940 You get a free month by putting in promo code BANNIT.

00:51:47.780 But talk to one of their U.S. reps who's a United States citizen on a company that supports your values.

00:51:55.060 The values of the Judeo-Christian West. 0.69

00:51:58.460 And they're proud of it.

00:51:59.580 And they ain't backing off it, just like President Trump's not backing off it.

00:52:03.160 972 Patriot.

00:52:04.180 Do it today and switch today.

00:52:07.620 We'll have more on Ken Paxson and all of it down in the great state of Texas.

00:52:11.300 Okay.

00:52:12.080 Charlie Kirk's up.

00:52:13.520 Poso after that.

00:52:14.400 Gruber.

00:52:15.220 Eric Bolling.
