Bannon's War Room - Episode 4419： Trump Goes After The Elite Institutions; Calls Off Israeli Airstrike

00:00:00.000 You have the government of El Salvador, the president of El Salvador, make this deal with the Trump administration.

00:00:05.640 I think it's $15 million that the Trump administration is going to be paying El Salvador to essentially take these folks from the United States who have been denied due process in the case of Kilmar.

00:00:19.440 And again, Republicans seem to be happy to take photo ops at this site and celebrate the fact that the president of the United States is ignoring court orders and that the government of El Salvador is keeping this guy locked up who's committed no crime at all.

00:00:38.080 So I do think, though, as we continue to put the spotlight on this injustice, that they ultimately will have to let him go.

00:00:48.700 I just I believe that will be the case because I believe people will keep pressing for justice.

00:00:56.600 Deport all undocumented immigrants. Voters favoring the government trying to deport all 11 million of them. 1.00

00:01:03.880 Back in 2016, just 38 percent of voters wanted the government to try to deport all 11 million undocumented immigrants.

00:01:11.640 Compared to where we are in 2025, 56 percent, the majority, the American people have come a long way on this issue, much closer to Donald Trump.

00:01:21.100 And I think that's a big part of the reason why Americans are increasingly saying the country is on the right track when it comes to immigration policy and why Donald Trump's net approval rating on that issue is in the positive.

00:01:30.980 Part of their mission is to use their power in the US government to destroy American higher education, to destroy US colleges and universities, not because of any particular thing that colleges and universities are doing, but just because they think they're bad and they shouldn't exist and they are going to try to destroy them.

00:01:49.160 They have been saying this for years. Now, it is clear we should believe them tonight. 0.71

00:01:56.160 Tonight, CNN and The Washington Post are reporting that President Trump has directed the IRS to strip tax-exempt status from Harvard University after Harvard said this week that it would not accede to Trump's threats.

00:02:09.100 It would not enter into some kind of receivership where Donald Trump gets to dictate the school's internal policies and academic decisions.

00:02:17.760 Now, there are, of course, laws about tax-exempt status.

00:02:21.820 Yes, the IRS can't legally take it away from a university or from any entity just because Trump pounds his chest and says so.

00:02:28.920 So we'll be talking about that more on tonight's show.

00:02:32.000 But the fact that Trump is trying it tells you, I mean, tells anybody paying attention that, yeah, now's the time. Move fast, right?

00:02:39.620 Any school that wants to survive what Trump and Vance are doing here, what their agenda is here for American universities and colleges,

00:02:47.840 any school that wants to survive what's coming their way better find a way to not have to fight alone.

00:02:53.340 And so, yes, now we are seeing all kinds of colleges all across the country move toward mutual defense pacts with other schools.

00:03:01.780 Basically, little NATO treaties for all the colleges. An attack on one is an attack on all.

00:03:06.740 I will tell you, I have no connection to any of these efforts, but I would just say as an observer, just speaking strategically,

00:03:14.440 my only note on this might be go faster.

00:03:20.900 Once he's targeted you, it's too late to have a mutual defense treaty in position.

00:03:26.860 You have to have these things in place ahead of time before he signs that executive order or yanks your funding or does whatever he's going to do to you.

00:03:35.180 Time is short. River rises.

00:03:37.780 The day before he was inaugurated this time when he disregarded the Supreme Court on TikTok and a law passed by Republicans in Congress.

00:03:45.180 Look, this is, you know, we shouldn't get normalized to the idea that, well, the administration might just disregard courts

00:03:51.320 because that's what they're doing every day and we all see that snowball's getting worse.

00:03:54.960 This is a case that does matter. I'm old enough to remember when people said they were constitutional conservatives

00:03:59.500 and you'd think they backed this kind of thing. And California is not the only suit, right?

00:04:02.900 But even if a Koch brothers back group has brought a suit on this.

00:04:06.980 The problem is that Congress has constitutionally sort of self-neutered itself.

00:04:11.040 The founding fathers wanted the balance of powers and figured that Congress would be covetous of its own power.

00:04:16.420 But because hyper-partisanship is such a hell of a drug, they've given that away to Donald Trump.

00:04:21.640 So this case does matter. All these cases matter.

00:04:25.840 But it also matters that the courts and also more collective action starts getting taken by organizations to not roll over

00:04:32.680 when this administration ignores the courts, ignores laws, ignores the Constitution.

00:04:38.020 That's the bigger issue right now. And let's not sleep on that.

00:04:41.000 And not getting the money that your state needs?

00:04:42.620 You don't take the knee. You fight them in court. You stand together with the power of collective action

00:04:47.320 because you understand that bullies only respect strength.

00:04:50.100 You understand that kiss in the ring, it doesn't stop there.

00:04:53.380 You understand what Winston Churchill said, which is appeasement is feeding a crocodile, hoping it eats you last.

00:04:57.940 So you've got to stand strong. And that's where the law firms need to come together.

00:05:01.160 That's where the universities need to come together. And the states need to come together.

00:05:04.260 But you raise a good point. I mean, there are consequences for standing up.

00:05:08.460 I think it's been interesting to watch what issues President Barack Obama, former President Obama, has weighed in on.

00:05:15.260 He's been weighing in on the universities. Why?

00:05:17.840 Well, Harvard is his alma mater.

00:05:18.980 He cares about it passionately. He's an alma mater. And they have money.

00:05:22.800 I mean, Harvard has money. They're going to lose a lot right now, but they've got an endowment, and he's been emphasizing that.

00:05:28.420 The states that are going to miss out on this money, like, that's something you certainly have to take into account.

00:05:33.100 North Carolina needs that FEMA money. 0.58

00:05:35.360 For sure.

00:05:35.820 It does. But I just, I want to make this point, because, yes, they'll pray all the week.

00:05:39.680 You're making, like, a principle argument.

00:05:43.680 Everyone's got the reasons. A lot of CEOs went down to kiss the ring.

00:05:46.600 Why? They said, I've got a fiduciary responsibility in my stock payers, as a stock shareholder.

00:05:51.400 And that is the slippery slope.

00:05:54.780 If the people who are strong end up being weak and kissing the ring because they've all got their reasons,

00:06:00.520 that is how the civic backbone shrinks.

00:06:05.820 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.

00:06:10.840 Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.

00:06:15.980 Here's the time I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.

00:06:20.320 The people have had a belly full of it.

00:06:22.160 I know you don't like hearing that.

00:06:23.660 I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.

00:06:26.340 It's going to happen.

00:06:27.400 And where do people like that go to share the big line?

00:06:31.020 MAGA Media.

00:06:32.380 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

00:06:37.800 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

00:06:41.560 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

00:06:47.900 War Room.

00:06:48.420 Here's your host, Stephen K.

00:06:50.840 It is Thursday, 17 April, year of our Lord, 2025.

00:06:59.480 A world on fire as President Trump continues to hammer in every different vertical

00:07:04.280 and take on the institutions of this country to make sure that they are, that the DEI, wokeness, anti-American, neo-Marxists,

00:07:14.580 I don't know what we're going to call it, is ringed from them.

00:07:17.500 It's really magnificent.

00:07:18.740 He's breaking the big law firms that run the country.

00:07:21.040 He is breaking these big universities, the Ivy Leagues.

00:07:24.800 I'm just waiting to go to the Bannon Pivot to the public Ivies, which is essential to get to the University of Michigan

00:07:32.140 and the University of Wisconsin in Madison.

00:07:35.580 And the way he's doing this is cutting off everyone from the public trough. 0.98

00:07:40.540 All the pigs feed.

00:07:42.180 What, $9 billion to Harvard? 0.58

00:07:43.840 All these people getting billions and billions of your taxpayer money.

00:07:46.620 And guess what taxpayers?

00:07:47.580 Middle-class, working-class taxpayers?

00:07:49.820 They just had it.

00:07:50.820 Not interested.

00:07:51.580 I also think that they've got to de-emphasize.

00:07:55.880 It's not about anti-Semitism.

00:07:57.680 That's a part of it.

00:07:59.780 In some cases, a big part of it.

00:08:01.300 That's not the reason.

00:08:03.100 The reason is that these are radical, progressive, neo-Marxist faculties and administrations,

00:08:11.720 and that we have to purge that.

00:08:14.620 Or just to go do it.

00:08:16.000 If you want to do it privately, finance privately, go for it.

00:08:18.880 Harvard, you've got $52 billion.

00:08:20.020 I don't even think that counts the business school and the other colleges.

00:08:23.460 I think that's just Harvard College and the university.

00:08:25.880 I don't think the individual, I think the business school's got a $10 billion.

00:08:29.940 I'm not sure they just rolled that up and that's what it is.

00:08:31.960 I think it's bigger.

00:08:32.840 I think Harvard may have $100 billion.

00:08:35.560 And only a year ago, two years ago, they started using it for letting kids that couldn't afford to go there, go there.

00:08:41.580 Cut them off.

00:08:43.220 They're not so tough.

00:08:44.020 Law firms are not so tough.

00:08:45.020 When you cut them off of your tax debt, when you cut it off from the trough, you want to drain the swamp?

00:08:52.600 Start by taking the pig trough and draining that.

00:08:56.060 They're not so big.

00:08:57.720 They're not big shots anymore.

00:09:00.380 The NGOs.

00:09:01.600 Let me get Jack Posobiec.

00:09:02.780 Jack, we have a lot to go through this morning.

00:09:04.700 We're going to connect some dots, right?

00:09:08.000 As President Trump is the one to say, he's going to weave the story together, right?

00:09:15.200 But I want to bring you in here.

00:09:17.080 First off, Catholic charities, the bishops, they're all big talk and social thing and they want to, you know, help the poor and be part of the migrant pack and welcome the stranger and have everybody come up here.

00:09:29.120 As soon as government money was cut off to the NGOs, the bishops, hey, we had a great 50-year relationship, but we can't do that anymore.

00:09:38.660 The moment it came to get into any of the money that keeps them living like the House of Lords, I don't see any of those guys in the shoes of the fishermen.

00:09:49.160 I haven't seen a vow of poverty from any of those folks.

00:09:51.760 As soon as you tap into their cash, all of a sudden, hey, the other, maybe, you know, maybe they ought to wait in northern Mexico.

00:10:00.220 They're all in it when you're giving Catholic charities a billion dollars a year to invade the country. 0.83

00:10:06.760 And I still don't understand where the investigations are on that.

00:10:11.760 I hate to be so, you know, persnickety here on a Holy Thursday because it is Holy Thursday.

00:10:18.540 Jack Posobiec. Thoughts about that and also the Democratic Party.

00:10:22.820 You saw Harry Enten. We got Benson with Obama.

00:10:24.920 I don't understand in a election where securing the border, getting our sovereignty, restoring our territorial integrity,

00:10:33.820 that, you know, Star County, that we 97 percent, you know, hard-bitten, blue-collar Hispanics, South Texas,

00:10:41.480 because they, we lose it by 60 points to Hillary in 16. 1.00

00:10:49.120 We win it by 16 points in 24.

00:10:51.940 They're not reading the room.

00:10:53.460 Why are the Democrats all day long and all they're doing is booking flights to South Texas?

00:10:57.340 Why have they decided in the incredibly moving, may do that again at 6 o'clock tonight,

00:11:03.500 the incredible moving testimony of the mother of the victim that was brutally raped and murdered yesterday.

00:11:13.640 And President Trump to give her a platform in the press briefing room with Caroline Leavitt was just extraordinary.

00:11:21.240 So Posobiec, why are they taking, why are they taking the side of the illegal alien,

00:11:26.880 even, this is a criminalism, we're not even to the mass deportations.

00:11:29.780 Benzman's going to walk us through mass deportations.

00:11:31.780 Why are they taking the side of this?

00:11:33.840 Why are they going against what the American people are demanding happen, sir?

00:11:39.280 Well, Steve, thanks again for having me on.

00:11:41.080 And there's a lot to unpack here as usual.

00:11:43.920 But what do we see writ large across the Democrat Party and the Democrat agenda?

00:11:49.240 Well, what we see is this complete wedding, a hijacking, if you will, of the Democrats with identity politics,

00:11:56.740 with wokeness and with ultimately support for criminality.

00:12:01.020 This Abrego Garcia, even before Pambani released the police report, and I'm glad that she did, by the way,

00:12:08.240 the underlying intelligence showing his direct ties to MS-13 and high-level MS-13 members at a drug deal in Hyattsville, Maryland.

00:12:17.780 Not too far, by the way, from the Secret Service's training ground right over there in Greenbelt, Maryland,

00:12:22.940 where this was going on.

00:12:25.160 But also, it seems, though, his own lawyers had hidden this from judges, had hidden this certainly from media, claimed that it wasn't real.

00:12:33.060 It was all real.

00:12:34.080 So I don't know if the ethics board or the bar is going to have any questions for the lawyer of Mr. Abrego Garcia,

00:12:40.900 because he had clearly defined gang ties.

00:12:44.640 No, but, Steve, the Democrats, remember, they believe in a world of two classes, a neo-Marxist agenda,

00:12:51.860 whereby in the United States has the class of the oppressors and the class of the oppressed.

00:12:56.740 And so if a member of the oppressed class, be they MS-13 or they be some other minority or some criminal,

00:13:04.540 whatever it is, they're raising up, rising up against the oppressors,

00:13:08.900 which typically end up being straight, white males, particularly, by the way, Christians.

00:13:15.600 They always seem to target the Christians. 1.00

00:13:19.100 And so they will overlook, by the way, anyone who has been victimized by these people.

00:13:23.860 Senator Chris Van Hollen abandoned Rachel Morin.

00:13:28.800 Her senator, her own senator abandoned her, but her president would never forget her.

00:13:35.320 And that is why her president brought her up yesterday on that platform, brought her into the Oval Office, by the way.

00:13:42.640 And I've got pinned up an Etsy page for Rachel Morin's family, by the way.

00:13:46.400 They're not even asking for handouts.

00:13:47.940 They don't have a give, send, go up.

00:13:49.240 I think we should make one, but they do have an Etsy page.

00:13:51.460 And I go look at my pinned tweet right now because right now they've still got five kids that they are raising without their mother

00:13:59.240 because of an MS-13 gang member in Maryland.

00:14:02.640 And Chris Van Hollen won't even say her name.

00:14:07.540 It's stunning.

00:14:09.340 Her testimony about the trial and what was suppressed, they said the detectives didn't want to fight it in the media.

00:14:17.500 Maybe that was smart.

00:14:18.300 It was brutal.

00:14:21.580 And Van Hollen, it shows you exactly what the Democratic Party thinks of working class people.

00:14:27.000 You don't mean anything. 0.99

00:14:29.500 They can rape, brutally murder, essentially torture, rape, and then murder your loved ones. 1.00

00:14:39.140 They don't care. 0.98

00:14:39.840 They're going to go down and worry about the due process rights of a criminal terrorist that President Trump has done as commander-in-chief.

00:14:48.700 We'll take that fight.

00:14:49.860 That's what you want to do?

00:14:51.440 We're in.

00:14:52.620 A lot more to go through.

00:14:54.300 The great Jack Posobiec is with us this morning.

00:16:12.520 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

00:16:16.340 Okay, let's go back and talk about, as we've talked about now for over a year,

00:16:23.360 of what President Trump, the task and purpose of President Trump in his second term, third victory, second term.

00:16:28.100 You're going to have the three verticals, and those verticals, number one, is to stop the kinetic part of the Third World War. 0.62

00:16:37.380 We are in the Third World War.

00:16:38.680 It's not kind of going to happen.

00:16:41.020 This is deeper, and the kinetic part is much bloodier and more dangerous than it was from 1939 to 1941,

00:16:48.680 the beginning of the European part of World War II.

00:16:54.240 Demonstration in every aspect.

00:16:56.780 Number two is the mass deportation to get out all the illegal alien evaders.

00:17:00.880 And Harry Enten, the great and pretty straight shooter at CNN,

00:17:06.000 just told us what the American people think.

00:17:07.480 They want all the illegal aliens deported.

00:17:09.940 Todd Benson is going to join us here in a while to walk through that.

00:17:12.520 It's Todd Benson, one of the big experts.

00:17:13.960 The third is to get the finances and the economy and all that right.

00:17:21.340 And part of that is I was redoing the global commercial relationships

00:17:24.800 and engaging finally in this economic war the Chinese Communist Party headed by,

00:17:28.440 but also our own house here.

00:17:30.560 And that's why the lead story on the Hill newspaper today is about raising taxes,

00:17:36.540 or I should say not extending the tax cut that the middle class and working class desperately need,

00:17:43.200 extend it to the upper bracket, and also talking about spending cuts, etc.,

00:17:47.000 and also additional tax cuts for the working class and middle class.

00:17:50.820 No tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and no tax on social security.

00:17:53.840 So those three are going.

00:17:55.700 President Trump's plate is full.

00:17:58.860 And, you know, the other night on Bill Maher in the overtime,

00:18:03.500 which unless you get HBO you don't see,

00:18:05.240 they sit there and it's more of a comedic.

00:18:07.500 And I go from the front of the show interview to sit on a panel with Josh Rogan,

00:18:13.080 a China expert, and Piers Morgan.

00:18:15.120 And that's what's supposed to be comedic.

00:18:16.920 He's taking questions they've pre-done from the audience.

00:18:19.940 And, Jack, there was a question, first off, about why is the only support,

00:18:24.780 it was about Huckabee,

00:18:25.760 why is the only support that Israel has from evangelical Christians and traditional Catholics, right?

00:18:30.240 And they made some joke about that.

00:18:32.720 I didn't really engage.

00:18:33.660 Then they talked, they asked Piers about this new movement in England

00:18:37.560 about young people going to church and tons of young Catholics going back

00:18:42.600 and people converting to Catholicism in the Catholic Church in England.

00:18:48.100 Now, Piers didn't know anything about it, but it's just not his line of country.

00:18:51.160 So I was going to bring up, but I didn't because it's comedic

00:18:54.680 and I don't try to be cute on their shows,

00:18:56.400 is about the, as you know, so many young men in MAGA

00:18:59.780 are either converting to Orthodox Christianity

00:19:02.680 or starting to practice or get acquainted with Orthodox Christianity,

00:19:08.400 which is much more of an inner practice

00:19:10.200 than the Western Christianity of Protestantism and Roman Catholicism,

00:19:16.080 which is more exterior a little bit than the interior practice of the Orthodox Church.

00:19:20.000 But those are two of the questions that got thrown up.

00:19:23.140 And the New York Times had a story yesterday.

00:19:28.100 So this is on, you know, this thing about religious practice

00:19:30.940 and about particularly what's happening in the Middle East

00:19:32.900 and why Huckabee is there as one of the most prominent evangelicals in the country.

00:19:38.920 And there's things going on, both the National Security Council

00:19:42.100 over the last week or 10 days and over at the Pentagon

00:19:44.800 with our friend and colleague Pete Hegseth, his staff,

00:19:48.880 some of the hirings and now people coming and going

00:19:51.660 and issues about, you know, maybe the brief for Elon, et cetera.

00:19:54.500 But in the middle of this, the New York Times drops a story.

00:19:57.460 And I think people should know, and we get a lot of grief for this, but it's fine.

00:20:00.640 We're cool with it because we totally respect

00:20:05.100 the people maybe on the other side of this

00:20:08.580 or a little to the maybe more isolationist side of this,

00:20:11.680 the Kurt Millss of the world, the Tucker Carlson's of the world,

00:20:14.140 people we have tremendous respect for,

00:20:15.700 both intellectually and their task and purpose

00:20:18.440 and what they've done to move this, take this movement forward

00:20:21.800 and to defend their country.

00:20:23.900 And I would say that Charlie Kirk and Jack Posobiec

00:20:27.280 and Steve Bannon, War Room, and really Real America's Voice

00:20:30.000 overall as a channel, we're probably deemed as being more pro-Israel

00:20:34.100 and more hawkish in Israel, not neocons,

00:20:36.560 but the Middle East overall in Israel, right?

00:20:39.360 But I've been advocating for a while, in a long time,

00:20:43.800 that in looking at Persia and the Mullahs,

00:20:47.380 you have to look at economic warfare and what have we done.

00:20:50.940 You can't get into another shooting war over there.

00:20:52.820 We're adamantly opposed to that.

00:20:54.780 And not enough has been done.

00:20:56.780 I have said, both the Chinese Communist Party and the Mullahs, 1.00

00:20:59.740 you must get to the oil and cut the oil off if you're serious.

00:21:03.220 And we haven't done that.

00:21:04.560 They ship 2.5 million barrels a day.

00:21:06.240 It's on the record of 1.6, it's 2.5.

00:21:09.300 Scott Besson, the Secretary of Treasury,

00:21:11.140 came out yesterday on a statement

00:21:13.100 and backed the War Room idea

00:21:16.280 of fully cutting off the Chinese Communist Party

00:21:19.340 and stopping any cash flow in on oil to the Mullahs.

00:21:24.020 But there's so much else to do.

00:21:25.100 Assets everywhere.

00:21:25.980 The families of 1983 have had a judgment,

00:21:28.920 owed billions of dollars.

00:21:30.020 Nothing's been done there.

00:21:30.940 There's so much economic warfare that you can do

00:21:33.380 to bring down this regime, or not bring it down,

00:21:35.280 let the people in Persia and Tehran

00:21:38.500 deal with it when you broke them.

00:21:40.440 The New York Times had a story yesterday, Jack,

00:21:42.780 that was jaw-dropping but not surprising.

00:21:46.040 And that is Bibi, because it was kind of fishy. 0.92

00:21:47.860 He came for these two meetings,

00:21:49.060 and he literally shows up.

00:21:51.020 And I think this is a problem for people like ourselves

00:21:53.980 that support Israel.

00:21:55.960 He shows up.

00:21:57.560 He's got a bombing plan.

00:21:59.120 He's ready to roll.

00:21:59.920 They're going in mid-May,

00:22:00.940 and they need Trump to sign off on it.

00:22:03.100 They need Trump to sign.

00:22:05.180 This is why,

00:22:06.700 and I don't know this from a certain fact,

00:22:09.120 but I can tell,

00:22:10.000 this is why Trump walks in the first time

00:22:12.000 and says, hey, we're going to go Trump-Gaza.

00:22:14.500 You know, that thing,

00:22:15.100 you see Bibi's look on his face,

00:22:16.400 and they do the formal press conference later.

00:22:18.260 The second time Bibi shows up, 1.00

00:22:19.620 it's supposed to be a terrorist,

00:22:20.600 we now know from the New York Times,

00:22:22.320 he's pushing, as we said on the show,

00:22:24.700 to start bombing immediately

00:22:26.800 and wants American help,

00:22:28.040 because he can't do it by himself.

00:22:30.080 And Trump there, in front of him,

00:22:31.880 announces, hey, we're having one-on-one,

00:22:34.100 we're going to have a one-on-one negotiation.

00:22:36.140 You are not going to be in the room,

00:22:37.400 but we're going to do it in Oman,

00:22:38.320 and we're starting on Saturday,

00:22:39.880 which is clearly a shock to him.

00:22:42.380 Jack Posobiec,

00:22:43.420 connect all these dots,

00:22:44.720 and particularly,

00:22:46.060 I think people should be quite upset

00:22:48.320 of Bibi pushing this

00:22:50.680 as hard as he's pushing it

00:22:51.940 and give props to the commander-in-chief,

00:22:54.780 President Trump,

00:22:55.360 who's got so much of the world

00:22:56.480 on his shoulders right now,

00:22:57.960 just saying, yo, cool it, right?

00:23:00.740 I got other things I'm working on.

00:23:02.320 Jack Posobiec.

00:23:04.140 Steve, what President Trump did last year

00:23:07.200 in the United States of America,

00:23:09.380 this victory that carried from coast to coast,

00:23:13.400 the massive wave that we saw

00:23:15.040 of patriotism outpouring

00:23:17.360 throughout the country

00:23:18.540 was predicated on three major issues.

00:23:22.200 Number one, trade.

00:23:23.760 And he said tariffs over and over and over.

00:23:25.900 He said, we're going to fix trade

00:23:27.100 and fix the economy.

00:23:28.480 Number two, immigration.

00:23:30.260 We're going to fix the border,

00:23:31.660 deport illegals,

00:23:32.680 and he's been executing on those two.

00:23:34.320 And number three

00:23:35.140 was stopping World War III.

00:23:38.620 And we remember

00:23:39.660 all of the drumbeat for World War III.

00:23:42.240 Now, they were talking about Russia,

00:23:43.480 but they were also discussing Iran.

00:23:45.060 And President Trump went out

00:23:46.180 to every stage he could find

00:23:49.320 and said, no more wars.

00:23:52.180 He even went on stages,

00:23:54.200 or one of them, as we saw,

00:23:56.160 they tried to take him out

00:23:58.300 in Butler, Pennsylvania,

00:24:00.240 but God prevented that.

00:24:01.820 And while he was up there,

00:24:02.760 what was he talking about?

00:24:04.100 No more immigration, 1.00

00:24:05.600 deporting illegals,

00:24:06.600 and no more war.

00:24:08.280 So what did President Trump do

00:24:09.540 when he was elected?

00:24:10.380 He put together

00:24:11.360 the greatest assemblage of patriots

00:24:14.660 that this country has ever seen

00:24:17.080 since the days of Washington

00:24:18.960 and Madison and Jefferson

00:24:21.340 and Franklin

00:24:22.140 and our founding fathers.

00:24:23.900 And they came together finally

00:24:25.220 from all across the political aisle.

00:24:27.080 And you've got former Democrats

00:24:28.240 and former independents

00:24:29.560 and Greens

00:24:30.020 and all the rest of it coming in.

00:24:31.400 And what united this coalition?

00:24:33.860 It was those three issues.

00:24:36.580 And particularly as well,

00:24:38.200 the Maha issue,

00:24:39.400 which eventually came on.

00:24:40.720 But threading through all of that

00:24:42.780 was peace,

00:24:43.760 this idea that we're going

00:24:44.980 to have peace in our world.

00:24:46.760 And so to have people coming in,

00:24:49.680 by the way,

00:24:50.040 not just from outside

00:24:50.780 the administration,

00:24:51.760 but from inside the administration,

00:24:53.580 saying we need to open up

00:24:56.220 a war with Iran.

00:24:57.780 We need to open up direct strikes

00:24:59.980 on the Iranian regime.

00:25:02.680 At the same time,

00:25:04.040 while President Trump

00:25:05.160 has publicly said

00:25:06.240 that he wanted negotiations,

00:25:08.060 we're in negotiations

00:25:09.200 vis-a-vis Russia, Ukraine.

00:25:10.740 We're in negotiations

00:25:12.000 vis-a-vis Israel, Gaza.

00:25:14.660 Look, if you want negotiations,

00:25:16.500 we can do that

00:25:17.240 because that's what

00:25:18.060 the American people voted for.

00:25:20.100 That was the peace

00:25:21.080 that the American people voted for.

00:25:23.520 And so the patriots

00:25:24.600 who are actually carrying out

00:25:26.500 the president's wishes

00:25:27.440 and the mandate

00:25:28.280 of the American people,

00:25:29.400 by the way,

00:25:30.060 the Electoral College,

00:25:31.460 the popular vote,

00:25:32.620 and seven out of seven

00:25:33.800 of the swing states

00:25:34.840 which voted for this,

00:25:36.580 those patriots

00:25:37.540 are the ones

00:25:38.060 who stood tall

00:25:38.740 and said,

00:25:39.240 no,

00:25:39.860 this was the president's agenda.

00:25:41.840 These were the line items.

00:25:43.240 We are not breaking this.

00:25:44.440 And now all of a sudden

00:25:46.120 we come to find

00:25:47.120 that on the heels of this

00:25:48.760 that there are patriots,

00:25:50.700 particularly those

00:25:51.660 who served under Pete Hegseth,

00:25:53.900 that are suddenly

00:25:54.820 being summarily frog-marched

00:25:57.100 away from their offices

00:25:58.440 under very flimsy

00:26:00.440 and unproven pretexts.

00:26:02.320 And suddenly a lot of those

00:26:03.860 are scratching our heads

00:26:04.960 saying,

00:26:05.400 gee,

00:26:06.020 I wonder if just maybe

00:26:07.580 that this might actually be

00:26:09.300 a policy dispute

00:26:10.440 dispute

00:26:11.200 because I sure remember

00:26:12.660 in the early days of 2017

00:26:14.360 when we were told

00:26:15.700 that General Michael T. Flynn,

00:26:18.080 one of the greatest patriots

00:26:19.100 this country has ever produced,

00:26:20.940 was a Russian asset

00:26:22.460 and Mike Pence,

00:26:24.000 Judas that he is, 0.56

00:26:25.080 by the way,

00:26:25.520 Spy Wednesday yesterday,

00:26:27.160 went and lied

00:26:28.160 about General Flynn

00:26:29.220 and read the transcript

00:26:30.220 and said that Flynn

00:26:31.040 had lied about it.

00:26:31.700 It was never true.

00:26:32.740 Flynn was always telling

00:26:33.860 the truth

00:26:34.340 about not being a Russian asset

00:26:35.900 and not working

00:26:36.800 with the Russians

00:26:37.340 behind his back.

00:26:38.440 Mike Pence lied about him.

00:26:39.680 Those lies led to him

00:26:41.400 being fired

00:26:41.920 from the administration

00:26:42.700 and Steve,

00:26:43.360 I really worry,

00:26:44.700 I really worry

00:26:45.580 that some of those

00:26:46.500 same forces

00:26:47.560 potentially

00:26:48.320 or potentially people

00:26:49.640 who are just

00:26:50.280 misguided

00:26:51.760 or perhaps following

00:26:53.220 the wrong

00:26:53.940 lodestar

00:26:54.940 are at it again.

00:26:58.300 Okay,

00:26:59.060 we're going to take a break.

00:27:00.980 When everybody,

00:27:01.640 gold is,

00:27:02.400 you know,

00:27:02.640 they're setting all-time highs

00:27:03.980 every couple of days.

00:27:05.720 It's not the price,

00:27:07.160 it's the process

00:27:07.940 of how it got there.

00:27:08.760 It's particularly

00:27:09.580 the Chinese Communist Party

00:27:10.940 blatantly telling people

00:27:12.760 in Rio,

00:27:13.640 the Rio Reset

00:27:14.600 that,

00:27:15.580 where the bricks meet,

00:27:17.180 that they want

00:27:17.640 a massive program

00:27:18.640 of de-dollarization.

00:27:20.420 So why are the central banks

00:27:21.540 in the world,

00:27:22.300 including the Chinese Communist Party,

00:27:23.600 buying at record rates?

00:27:25.040 What is the underlying

00:27:26.100 geopolitics

00:27:27.300 and geo-economics

00:27:29.000 that are driving this?

00:27:30.600 We're not here

00:27:31.580 that you buy a fish,

00:27:33.100 you go to Birch Gold

00:27:35.260 and learn how to fish.

00:27:41.620 End of the dollar empire.

00:27:43.380 Started four years ago

00:27:44.400 because I knew

00:27:45.500 we'd land in this place

00:27:46.620 with the guys

00:27:47.820 at Birch Gold.

00:27:48.440 It's all free

00:27:49.020 and you get to meet

00:27:49.720 Philip Patrick

00:27:50.280 and the team.

00:27:51.480 The question is,

00:27:52.820 you got this Coke issue,

00:27:54.220 you got defense priorities,

00:27:55.240 we're going to get into it

00:27:55.920 because a lot of people say,

00:27:56.700 well, hey,

00:27:56.980 I didn't know any Coke guys

00:27:57.880 were over there.

00:27:58.260 I'm just not buying that.

00:28:00.820 And if you go in,

00:28:01.980 you got to go in, right?

00:28:04.260 Short commercial break.

00:28:05.840 Post on the other side.

00:28:11.860 You've heard me talk

00:28:12.760 about Patriot Mobile

00:28:13.620 for a while now.

00:28:14.460 You probably know

00:28:15.120 that for years

00:28:15.880 they've stood in the gap

00:28:17.380 for every American

00:28:18.340 who believes in faith,

00:28:20.080 family, and freedom.

00:29:38.900 Here's your host,

00:29:40.320 Stephen K. Bannon.

00:29:42.680 To cut to the chase here,

00:29:44.060 President Trump

00:29:44.580 is pretty adamant.

00:29:46.220 Jack just heated up perfectly.

00:29:47.380 He views the sunlit uplands

00:29:51.200 of being peace and prosperity.

00:29:53.940 And he's working

00:29:54.940 on the prosperity part,

00:29:56.560 which ain't easy.

00:29:58.120 And the peace part

00:29:59.180 is hard, too.

00:30:00.020 The first thing he wants

00:30:00.740 is everybody

00:30:01.000 to put their guns down.

00:30:02.860 He's adamant

00:30:03.720 about the killing

00:30:04.320 that's going on in Ukraine

00:30:05.320 and how it's been caused

00:30:06.360 by weak people

00:30:09.700 or some who wanted it to happen.

00:30:11.340 And also in Gaza,

00:30:13.080 in the Middle East.

00:30:14.320 And he's adamant

00:30:17.320 about this.

00:30:18.540 And it couldn't be clearer,

00:30:19.660 I don't think,

00:30:20.280 Jack Posovic,

00:30:20.980 that he does not want,

00:30:22.100 he's the guy

00:30:22.520 that shut down Bolton

00:30:23.600 when Bolton ginned up

00:30:24.980 that thing about having

00:30:25.920 the massive missile strike

00:30:27.780 that was not as,

00:30:29.940 you know,

00:30:30.340 President Trump's

00:30:31.060 big on reciprocity

00:30:32.060 where they took out

00:30:32.820 some things

00:30:33.260 and then they had

00:30:33.940 a missile strike

00:30:34.480 at the last minute

00:30:35.520 he goes through

00:30:35.960 and he says,

00:30:36.340 hey, this is not balanced.

00:30:37.440 We're not doing this.

00:30:39.280 Because that's what

00:30:39.960 the neocons

00:30:41.060 are going to get you into

00:30:41.820 because their sons

00:30:42.380 and daughters

00:30:42.740 are not involved in it.

00:30:43.540 Their sons and daughters

00:30:44.400 are in those two

00:30:44.920 carrier battle groups

00:30:45.740 out there

00:30:46.180 off of Yemen

00:30:47.560 bombing the Houthis?

00:30:49.040 I don't think so.

00:30:51.120 President Trump wants peace

00:30:52.320 and what's upsetting

00:30:53.140 about this article

00:30:54.040 is kind of the arrogance.

00:30:55.740 It's arrogance.

00:30:57.880 That's why I'm not,

00:30:58.380 I'm not a BB fan,

00:30:59.320 have never been a BB fan.

00:31:00.400 I shouldn't say it,

00:31:00.960 not never been.

00:31:01.840 Ever since I got to know him,

00:31:02.940 I'm not a BB fan.

00:31:04.280 Just not.

00:31:04.920 It's a certain arrogance

00:31:06.300 and hearing it

00:31:08.760 from Kirk

00:31:09.540 and Posovic

00:31:10.520 and Bannon

00:31:11.200 who are on the side

00:31:12.300 of Israel saying

00:31:13.780 this is how people,

00:31:15.120 that article,

00:31:15.740 this is how people get,

00:31:16.620 hey,

00:31:16.740 is this American foreign policy

00:31:18.200 or is this the tail

00:31:19.940 that wags the dog?

00:31:21.140 It's got to stop.

00:31:22.840 President Trump

00:31:23.440 couldn't be clear

00:31:24.000 and the people around him

00:31:24.720 couldn't be clearer.

00:31:26.520 And we haven't stopped.

00:31:27.440 And I,

00:31:27.840 listen,

00:31:28.220 Posovic,

00:31:28.640 I don't like kind of

00:31:29.380 what I'm hearing

00:31:29.880 out of Wyck.

00:31:30.320 I love Wyckoff,

00:31:31.140 but when he says

00:31:32.020 verification,

00:31:33.140 verification,

00:31:34.440 the mullahs 0.94

00:31:35.140 are untrustworthy. 0.95

00:31:37.460 They make the Iraqis, 1.00

00:31:38.880 you know,

00:31:39.520 look like,

00:31:40.060 look like Kiwanis Club guys.

00:31:43.480 These people are, 1.00

00:31:44.480 they're crazy, 1.00

00:31:45.440 the mullahs, 1.00

00:31:46.380 because this is

00:31:46.820 the most radical form

00:31:48.340 or one of the most radical forms,

00:31:49.640 not the most,

00:31:50.340 there's worse than this,

00:31:52.180 one of the most radical forms 0.90

00:31:53.140 of Islam. 0.89

00:31:54.060 They can't be trusted,

00:31:54.840 they can't be verified.

00:31:55.660 It's got to be taken apart

00:31:56.800 brick by brick,

00:31:57.480 but we're just starting

00:31:58.260 the economic warfare

00:31:59.180 part of this.

00:32:00.460 You can bring these people

00:32:01.440 to their knees

00:32:02.020 and never fire a shot.

00:32:03.400 That's got to all be developed

00:32:04.720 and thought through.

00:32:07.000 So,

00:32:07.240 Basovic,

00:32:07.820 I mean,

00:32:08.260 this is,

00:32:08.940 and you've got,

00:32:09.760 and your part,

00:32:10.880 is that the Russian rapprochement,

00:32:13.260 it covers a lot.

00:32:14.100 As you said,

00:32:14.440 Ukraine,

00:32:15.220 Persia,

00:32:15.680 all of it,

00:32:16.180 because it can't exist

00:32:17.060 without those guys,

00:32:17.880 and that's why the Wyckoff,

00:32:19.280 Trump,

00:32:19.800 what they're doing with that

00:32:20.940 is so vitally important.

00:32:22.860 But the fact that the,

00:32:24.260 that even a concept

00:32:25.680 that America would get back

00:32:27.300 into a shooting conflict

00:32:29.100 in the Middle East,

00:32:30.700 and this one will make

00:32:32.620 the Iraq and Afghanistan

00:32:34.200 war,

00:32:34.680 which we spent

00:32:35.220 nine trillion dollars,

00:32:36.480 20 years,

00:32:37.340 we got,

00:32:37.760 what,

00:32:38.020 10,000 dead,

00:32:39.720 more contractors dead,

00:32:41.760 50,000 wounded,

00:32:42.940 PTSD,

00:32:43.720 25,

00:32:44.460 25 servicemen a day

00:32:46.340 killing themselves, 0.68

00:32:47.480 a complete debacle 1.00

00:32:48.600 and a scar in this country,

00:32:50.600 a wound that has not healed yet

00:32:52.140 for the people

00:32:52.720 that are involved in it.

00:32:53.920 The mere concept

00:32:55.180 that we were back,

00:32:56.400 because this,

00:32:56.920 this in Persia

00:32:58.280 will make what happened

00:33:00.420 in Iraq and Afghanistan

00:33:01.460 look like a Sunday afternoon

00:33:02.780 Garden Party.

00:33:04.120 Jack Posobiec,

00:33:05.080 thoughts and observations?

00:33:08.800 Well, Steve,

00:33:09.500 that's exactly right.

00:33:10.420 You know,

00:33:10.600 people think that Iran

00:33:12.260 is going to be

00:33:12.820 some pushover country

00:33:13.980 like Iraq 0.99

00:33:15.200 and their military

00:33:16.040 or Afghanistan,

00:33:17.360 which,

00:33:17.640 by the way,

00:33:18.060 that ended up,

00:33:18.880 you know,

00:33:19.520 not exactly the way

00:33:20.880 that we thought it was.

00:33:22.000 Just go look at,

00:33:22.780 at what 20 years

00:33:23.880 of Afghanistan

00:33:24.520 has got us,

00:33:25.660 that has done

00:33:26.100 to middle America,

00:33:27.260 has done

00:33:27.760 to the working class

00:33:28.980 sons and daughters

00:33:29.740 of the deplorables

00:33:30.720 of MAGA.

00:33:31.720 And then if President Trump

00:33:32.660 gets up there

00:33:33.180 and says,

00:33:33.540 we're going to another,

00:33:34.200 and those bombers

00:33:34.800 that are sitting down

00:33:35.980 there parked

00:33:36.420 doing the elephant walk

00:33:37.320 on Diego Garcia

00:33:38.640 are going to then launch

00:33:39.960 and then with their

00:33:40.560 30,000-pound bunker busters

00:33:42.400 to take off

00:33:43.160 on Iranian targets,

00:33:45.780 look,

00:33:46.220 this is going to be

00:33:46.740 something that would

00:33:47.320 spill out

00:33:47.840 every single soldier,

00:33:50.140 sailor,

00:33:50.960 airman,

00:33:51.680 marine,

00:33:52.540 with a U.S. uniform

00:33:54.260 anywhere near

00:33:55.780 the Middle East

00:33:56.660 and any other place

00:33:57.960 that the IRGC

00:33:59.000 has assets

00:33:59.800 would immediately

00:34:01.120 have a target

00:34:02.140 on their back.

00:34:02.900 And by the way,

00:34:03.800 they already took out

00:34:05.100 with one of these drones,

00:34:06.060 they already had

00:34:07.020 one of these

00:34:07.520 Shia militia groups

00:34:08.700 that took out

00:34:09.280 some of our soldiers,

00:34:10.160 some National Guardsmen

00:34:10.940 on that base

00:34:11.760 on the Syrian border

00:34:12.560 not too long ago,

00:34:14.380 not to mention

00:34:14.840 all the other troops

00:34:15.520 that we've lost in Syria,

00:34:16.920 particularly considering

00:34:18.020 Joe Kent

00:34:18.480 and even his own wife,

00:34:20.220 the mother of his children.

00:34:21.880 Look,

00:34:22.420 we've paid

00:34:23.260 too much blood

00:34:24.440 in this desert.

00:34:25.480 We've shed

00:34:25.940 too much blood

00:34:26.800 in this desert.

00:34:27.640 We've expended

00:34:28.140 too much treasure

00:34:28.980 in this desert.

00:34:30.780 President Trump

00:34:31.520 and what he's doing

00:34:32.620 with Whitcoff,

00:34:33.960 I think,

00:34:35.520 is different

00:34:36.040 from what even might

00:34:37.100 have been publicly

00:34:37.980 announced at this point

00:34:39.260 because you understand

00:34:40.400 we look at these

00:34:41.860 as separate negotiations

00:34:43.260 to say,

00:34:43.700 well,

00:34:43.780 you've got this negotiation

00:34:44.700 here with the Persians 1.00

00:34:45.820 and they're going to Rome

00:34:46.760 later this weekend

00:34:47.560 after the meeting

00:34:48.320 that they held in Oman,

00:34:49.600 which of course

00:34:50.020 is right next to Yemen.

00:34:51.260 Now they're talking to,

00:34:52.440 but then they say

00:34:53.320 that the Kiev

00:34:53.820 and the Moscow summits,

00:34:55.080 that those are all separate.

00:34:56.040 But Steve,

00:34:56.840 understand,

00:34:57.600 this is a grand strategy

00:34:59.400 that's actually going on

00:35:00.720 behind the playbook here

00:35:01.780 because,

00:35:02.900 look,

00:35:03.300 it's not a unilateral deal

00:35:05.120 between us

00:35:06.020 and the Iranians 0.89

00:35:07.000 like the Obama-Iran deal

00:35:08.520 and the pallets of cash.

00:35:09.500 That's what President Trump

00:35:10.160 ran against the very first time.

00:35:11.500 I remember that.

00:35:12.320 I was still in the Navy,

00:35:13.980 by the way,

00:35:14.780 when Iranians 0.93

00:35:15.840 were holding

00:35:16.500 our sailors

00:35:17.380 at gunpoint

00:35:18.320 with their hands

00:35:19.120 on their knees.

00:35:19.860 We don't play that footage

00:35:20.940 very much anymore,

00:35:22.040 but I remember that.

00:35:23.120 That was one of the most

00:35:23.740 disgraceful moments

00:35:25.500 of this country

00:35:26.480 that I've ever had

00:35:28.120 the misfortune to,

00:35:29.300 something broke within me

00:35:30.600 when I saw that.

00:35:31.220 But Steve,

00:35:31.820 understand this,

00:35:32.860 and I want the MAGA,

00:35:33.780 the war room posse,

00:35:35.400 to also understand

00:35:36.620 that if you want leverage

00:35:38.320 on Iran,

00:35:39.260 you know who's got

00:35:40.020 that leverage?

00:35:41.080 The Kremlin.

00:35:43.200 Sergei Lavrov,

00:35:44.620 the guy sitting

00:35:45.420 across the table.

00:35:46.480 So I would suspect

00:35:48.340 and I hear rumblings

00:35:49.980 that there's more

00:35:51.160 being discussed

00:35:52.160 in these negotiations

00:35:53.480 about a grand strategy

00:35:56.120 than what meets the eye

00:35:57.920 and what is being said

00:35:58.980 publicly.

00:36:00.060 It's about world peace,

00:36:02.200 not just one-off

00:36:03.200 on all of these conflicts

00:36:04.580 because as the war room

00:36:05.960 posse knows,

00:36:06.620 this is 301 level.

00:36:07.780 This isn't that

00:36:08.380 cable news stuff.

00:36:09.640 No, we understand

00:36:10.420 how the world

00:36:10.960 actually works around here.

00:36:12.720 It's all intrinsically

00:36:14.120 connected with the great powers.

00:36:15.940 You want the McKinder theory 0.75

00:36:18.380 of the world island?

00:36:19.920 Well, then you go

00:36:20.840 to the most powerful countries

00:36:22.660 in the world island

00:36:23.860 and in Eurasia

00:36:25.000 and you say,

00:36:25.900 you want something?

00:36:26.800 Here's what we want.

00:36:28.860 Are you saying,

00:36:29.960 by the way,

00:36:30.300 and that's why I'm saying

00:36:31.260 cut off, 0.93

00:36:31.840 let's stop playing games.

00:36:34.160 The Chinese Communist Party

00:36:34.960 is at economic war with us.

00:36:36.280 This thing's got to get

00:36:37.000 sorted out.

00:36:37.580 We're getting our trade partners.

00:36:38.760 Deals are being cut now.

00:36:39.720 We're in discussions

00:36:40.340 cutting deals.

00:36:41.120 And who's Iran's biggest partner? 0.99

00:36:42.580 Who's Iran's biggest partner 1.00

00:36:45.440 that they sell oil to?

00:36:46.480 The Chinese Communist Party.

00:36:49.000 It's 2.5 million barrels a day.

00:36:50.800 They say 1.6.

00:36:51.740 They got bootleg

00:36:53.280 and black markets.

00:36:54.220 2.5.

00:36:55.040 Cut it off 100%.

00:36:56.220 Take one of the carrier battle groups.

00:36:58.400 You got two in the Red Sea.

00:36:59.660 Move one over

00:37:00.320 to the North Arabian Sea

00:37:01.380 where I was

00:37:02.120 as a young naval officer.

00:37:03.680 Put it right there.

00:37:04.840 Outside the strait of Hormuz.

00:37:06.000 Any ship that comes out,

00:37:07.080 got that oil,

00:37:07.700 turn it right back.

00:37:08.700 Very simple.

00:37:09.660 Go back.

00:37:10.180 Not going forward.

00:37:11.120 Not going past

00:37:12.100 Deo Garcia.

00:37:12.840 Not going past India. 0.99

00:37:14.000 Not going to the Straits of Malacca.

00:37:15.240 Not going to the South China Sea.

00:37:16.540 And not going to China.

00:37:18.280 Full stop.

00:37:19.460 That'll get to folks in Tehran.

00:37:21.600 The Persians will start to rethink 1.00

00:37:23.420 how good these mullahs are running.

00:37:25.560 But I want to go back to something.

00:37:27.240 Are you implying,

00:37:28.460 so let's just get it on the table.

00:37:29.640 Are you implying,

00:37:30.500 because there's some issues

00:37:31.280 around the defense parties

00:37:32.480 and the Koch guys, etc.

00:37:33.600 But are you implying, sir,

00:37:37.380 that, and I think

00:37:38.220 Bridge Colby was a good pick.

00:37:39.620 I think he's got

00:37:40.340 the right attitude.

00:37:41.400 He's not a super hawk

00:37:42.380 like we are in China.

00:37:43.560 But he's more aggressive

00:37:45.020 in China than a lot of people

00:37:46.240 have been over there

00:37:46.740 in a long time.

00:37:47.840 But are you implying

00:37:48.820 because BB

00:37:50.940 didn't get his wish

00:37:53.580 for American backup

00:37:54.780 to a bombing run

00:37:55.740 and they come over,

00:37:56.780 hey, we're going to do it

00:37:57.340 in three weeks.

00:37:58.020 We're rolling.

00:37:58.720 You got the planes.

00:37:59.500 You got the refueling.

00:38:00.380 You're ready to go.

00:38:01.660 You got the advanced

00:38:02.440 radar platforms.

00:38:03.520 You're going to do

00:38:04.060 the reason that

00:38:05.380 not doing that

00:38:06.640 and Pete Hegseth

00:38:07.440 in defense,

00:38:08.260 not being all in

00:38:09.540 and pushing that

00:38:10.320 because obvious

00:38:11.020 they were not pushing it.

00:38:12.160 Are you implying

00:38:12.940 that the people

00:38:14.860 being perked walk out

00:38:16.040 are because a payback

00:38:17.320 for that, sir?

00:38:19.740 Steve, I'm reading

00:38:20.600 the tea leaves

00:38:21.360 and it's very interesting

00:38:22.640 to me that when you

00:38:23.560 look at these patriots,

00:38:24.940 these absolute

00:38:25.600 consummate patriots,

00:38:27.040 some of whom

00:38:27.820 who were supporting

00:38:28.880 Pete Hegseth

00:38:29.620 to the hilt,

00:38:30.600 by the way,

00:38:31.640 through the fire

00:38:33.120 that the Senate

00:38:34.000 committee put him

00:38:35.240 through and the lies

00:38:36.380 that were spread

00:38:36.980 about him and I,

00:38:38.400 Steve, I remember

00:38:38.960 the lies of 2017.

00:38:40.800 I remember the slander

00:38:41.620 that patriots like

00:38:42.500 Michael Flynn were put to

00:38:43.620 and I look at all

00:38:44.920 of these things

00:38:45.580 going on in confluence

00:38:47.240 and I have to say,

00:38:48.500 Steve,

00:38:48.760 it's very suspicious

00:38:49.800 to me.

00:38:50.660 It's very suspicious

00:38:51.760 that the very same people

00:38:53.480 that seemingly

00:38:54.560 just stopped

00:38:55.860 World War III

00:38:56.980 or have America

00:38:57.880 escalate something

00:38:58.800 that could turn

00:38:59.340 into World War III.

00:39:00.620 All of a sudden,

00:39:01.420 we're told that suddenly

00:39:02.720 they're the ones

00:39:03.380 who have to go.

00:39:04.480 Really makes you ask

00:39:05.480 a lot of questions.

00:39:06.320 Quite the head scratcher

00:39:07.300 that I wouldn't just say.

00:39:08.300 You're not into

00:39:08.860 coincidences like that.

00:39:11.160 That's just too

00:39:11.720 coincidental for you?

00:39:13.100 Steve, there's no

00:39:13.640 conspiracies,

00:39:14.180 but there's no coincidences.

00:39:15.860 Okay, go back

00:39:17.960 to NSC staff

00:39:18.840 because the hit

00:39:19.600 on NSC and Brother Waltz

00:39:21.320 is that he's,

00:39:22.860 and he's trying,

00:39:23.680 but he's too much

00:39:24.220 of a neocon

00:39:24.880 and the guys he got

00:39:25.640 in there are too much

00:39:26.380 of a neocon.

00:39:27.240 Now, did Loomer,

00:39:29.400 they got Loomered.

00:39:30.700 Was Loomer in

00:39:31.420 digging out neocons

00:39:32.920 or is that part

00:39:33.680 of also people

00:39:34.760 that were opposed

00:39:35.520 to this assault, sir?

00:39:38.660 Well, Steve,

00:39:39.420 from what I read

00:39:40.140 on this,

00:39:41.320 it didn't necessarily

00:39:42.940 say that the

00:39:44.500 National Security Advisor

00:39:45.640 was pushing for this,

00:39:46.820 only that he had,

00:39:47.720 he had had a meeting.

00:39:48.600 I don't have any

00:39:49.020 further information

00:39:49.780 regarding that specifically,

00:39:52.140 but it does seem to me

00:39:54.160 to strike this,

00:39:55.320 this sort of discordant

00:39:56.620 balance that you're

00:39:57.340 talking about before,

00:39:58.360 that there are some people

00:40:00.220 that are pushing

00:40:01.080 for further policy

00:40:02.980 that is not what

00:40:04.760 the president campaigned for,

00:40:06.020 that's not what

00:40:06.560 the American people

00:40:07.400 voted for.

00:40:08.760 They're pushing

00:40:09.500 for strikes on Iran.

00:40:10.460 They're far more open

00:40:11.480 to strikes on Iran.

00:40:12.540 And then there's other people

00:40:13.740 who are sitting there

00:40:14.440 saying, wait a minute,

00:40:15.240 this is the president's agenda.

00:40:17.320 This was the promise

00:40:18.040 he made to the American people.

00:40:19.800 This is what we all

00:40:20.480 got up there

00:40:21.000 at President Trump

00:40:21.700 and all the rallies

00:40:22.380 that he said

00:40:22.940 and we said day in,

00:40:23.880 day out on this program.

00:40:25.060 And suddenly those

00:40:26.160 are the ones

00:40:26.720 who are getting

00:40:27.380 frog marched out.

00:40:29.020 So, Steve,

00:40:29.340 what I think is going on

00:40:30.360 is a policy disagreement

00:40:31.840 and a knife fight,

00:40:33.700 something that,

00:40:34.680 you know,

00:40:35.140 knife fights in the White House.

00:40:36.220 Not that you would know

00:40:36.800 anything about that, Steve.

00:40:37.700 Jack, where do people go

00:40:41.220 throughout, you know,

00:40:42.580 Holy Thursday,

00:40:43.340 Good Friday,

00:40:44.300 Holy Saturday,

00:40:45.400 and then Easter Sunday?

00:40:47.640 Where do people get you?

00:40:49.080 Because I know you spend

00:40:49.780 a lot of family time,

00:40:50.660 but there's so much going on

00:40:51.720 that these are turning out

00:40:53.120 to be full work days.

00:40:54.480 Where do people go

00:40:55.340 to keep up with you

00:40:56.080 on all these controversial topics?

00:40:59.220 Oh, they are full work days

00:41:00.200 and we're going to be having

00:41:00.840 a huge show

00:41:01.780 on human events later today.

00:41:03.860 We're going to be interviewing

00:41:04.820 the top presidential candidate

00:41:07.540 in Romania,

00:41:09.140 George Simeon,

00:41:10.300 who is in the Populist Nationalist

00:41:12.220 that is now running

00:41:13.020 He's in Town.

00:41:13.720 We're going to be

00:41:14.120 interviewing him in person.

00:41:16.040 We're also going to have

00:41:16.720 more information

00:41:17.380 regarding this

00:41:18.240 called-off Iranian strike

00:41:19.900 on human events daily.

00:41:21.420 Tomorrow,

00:41:21.960 we're going to be doing

00:41:22.580 a huge Good Friday special.

00:41:24.940 We're also going to get

00:41:25.900 into the understanding

00:41:26.980 of Holy Saturday,

00:41:28.180 a day that I know, Steve,

00:41:29.460 you and I have delved into

00:41:30.920 very deeply here

00:41:31.840 on The War Room

00:41:32.700 regarding the harrowing of hell,

00:41:35.120 Christ's descent into hell 0.74

00:41:36.860 to storm the gates of hell,

00:41:38.960 torment the devil himself,

00:41:41.440 because we have to understand 0.78

00:41:42.780 that the demons

00:41:43.480 are absolutely working.

00:41:45.380 And by the way,

00:41:46.160 I've just started a,

00:41:47.380 as Jesus spent three days

00:41:49.080 in the belly of the earth,

00:41:51.140 just like Jonah spent three days

00:41:52.580 in the belly of the whale,

00:41:53.580 myself and a few others,

00:41:54.700 we just started a three-day fast.

00:41:57.220 So we're doing a 72-hour

00:41:59.420 Holy Week fast.

00:42:01.260 So I've just started it this morning.

00:42:02.700 And I'm going to be breaking it

00:42:04.020 at 9.30 Mass

00:42:05.800 with communion

00:42:06.680 on Easter morning.

00:42:08.960 Wow, fantastic.

00:42:10.280 I've got to talk to you

00:42:10.980 after the show, too,

00:42:11.620 because in the middle of all that

00:42:13.000 with Holy Week

00:42:13.900 and descent into hell

00:42:15.540 and the harrowing of hell

00:42:16.320 that Jack and I always do,

00:42:18.780 traditionally,

00:42:19.360 we have the 250th anniversary

00:42:21.040 of Lexington and Concord,

00:42:22.500 which I'll tell you more

00:42:23.300 about tonight

00:42:23.920 than what we're going to do.

00:42:25.500 Talk about descent into hell.

00:42:26.780 Social media,

00:42:27.500 where do people get you

00:42:28.680 on Twitter?

00:42:29.160 Yeah, it's at Jack Posobiec,

00:42:31.400 of course,

00:42:31.780 Human Events Daily.

00:42:33.080 If anybody misses the podcast,

00:42:34.320 we're also up live

00:42:35.240 coast-to-coast

00:42:35.760 on the Salem Radio Network.

00:42:37.560 And we're very blessed.

00:42:39.600 Thank you, brother.

00:42:40.280 Appreciate you.

00:42:41.980 God bless.

00:42:42.880 We're going to take a short break,

00:42:44.060 and I want to thank Benzman

00:42:45.360 for sticking around,

00:42:46.200 but we had to get to that

00:42:47.040 because it's quite disturbing.

00:42:47.980 New York Times article,

00:42:48.960 and I want to make sure Grace

00:42:49.900 puts it out there.

00:42:51.400 Maybe we put it as a gift thing

00:42:53.100 for people who can't get back

00:42:54.340 to the paywall.

00:42:54.860 We should read it.

00:42:55.480 You'll be quite upset about it.

00:42:58.840 We cannot...

00:42:59.600 President Trump's adamant.

00:43:01.180 We're not going to get dragged

00:43:01.960 back into a shooting war

00:43:03.120 in the Middle East.

00:43:04.840 This is just a...

00:43:05.780 It's a nightmare.

00:43:07.800 This is why CENTCOM...

00:43:08.940 Obama tried to pivot to Asia.

00:43:10.760 We tried it in the first term.

00:43:13.180 I think President Trump

00:43:13.920 really succeeded

00:43:15.000 much more than other people,

00:43:16.720 but, man,

00:43:17.200 that center of gravity

00:43:18.060 is CENTCOM.

00:43:19.740 Some believe...

00:43:20.260 We got two carrier battle groups

00:43:21.600 in the Red Sea.

00:43:22.500 Need I say more?

00:43:25.080 Okay, Birch Gold,

00:43:26.040 take your phone out.

00:43:26.920 Bannon.

00:43:48.980 He's our wise man.

00:43:49.960 A former CIA,

00:43:51.120 Pentagon,

00:43:51.580 and White House advisor

00:43:54.180 of geopolitics

00:43:55.160 and capital markets.

00:43:56.580 Jim predicted

00:43:57.180 Trump's Electoral College victory

00:43:58.740 exactly 312 to 226,

00:44:02.480 down to the actual number itself.

00:44:05.860 Now he's issuing a dire warning

00:44:07.680 about April 11th,

00:44:09.200 a moment that could define

00:44:10.460 Trump's presidency

00:44:11.420 in your financial future.

00:44:51.440 Focus.

00:44:52.000 Pretty, pretty pleased

00:44:52.900 with a cherry on top.

00:44:54.640 Why is that?

00:44:55.740 Look at Trump's net approval rating

00:44:57.140 on immigration.

00:44:58.220 Compare where we are now.

00:44:59.540 Compare where we were

00:45:00.180 at this point

00:45:00.660 in his first term.

00:45:01.220 In his first term,

00:45:02.060 he was underwater

00:45:02.780 at minus 12 points.

00:45:04.040 Look at where he is today.

00:45:05.060 He's actually above order.

00:45:06.620 This is one of his strongest issues

00:45:08.320 at plus one points.

00:45:09.800 And more than that

00:45:10.640 on the net approval,

00:45:11.400 the net approval for him

00:45:12.280 on this issue

00:45:12.880 has stayed steady

00:45:14.080 in the positive.

00:45:15.620 This is an area

00:45:16.920 where Donald Trump

00:45:17.840 wants to focus

00:45:18.660 because the bottom line is

00:45:20.220 this is an area

00:45:20.940 in which the American people,

00:45:22.580 at least the bare majority of him,

00:45:24.080 seem to like what he's doing.

00:45:25.380 And you've seen,

00:45:25.960 and you've shown

00:45:26.960 the impact

00:45:27.920 on how people feel

00:45:29.060 about his handling

00:45:30.320 of the economy

00:45:30.960 and what he's been doing.

00:45:31.920 So let's stay here

00:45:33.160 with this.

00:45:33.800 Compare where he is

00:45:35.060 on immigration

00:45:35.800 to where Biden was.

00:45:36.860 We know that this was

00:45:37.840 why he leaned

00:45:38.540 into immigration so much.

00:45:39.900 Yes, this is a big reason why.

00:45:41.560 So take a look here.

00:45:42.420 This is on immigration.

00:45:43.540 What track are we on?

00:45:44.740 The right track

00:45:45.440 or the wrong track?

00:45:46.360 Look in December.

00:45:47.520 Look at the percentage

00:45:48.440 who said we were

00:45:49.160 on the wrong track.

00:45:50.660 62% of Americans

00:45:52.620 when Joe Biden

00:45:53.540 was in office

00:45:54.080 compared to just 14%

00:45:55.940 who said that

00:45:56.720 we were on the right track.

00:45:57.920 Flash forward to April.

00:45:59.380 Well, hello.

00:46:00.540 45% say we're

00:46:01.920 on the right track

00:46:02.640 compared to 42%

00:46:04.040 who say we're

00:46:04.480 on the wrong track.

00:46:05.380 So in a big switcheroo

00:46:07.080 from where we were

00:46:07.840 back in January,

00:46:08.820 the plurality of Americans

00:46:10.040 say that the country

00:46:11.180 is on the right track

00:46:12.160 when it comes

00:46:12.600 to immigration policy.

00:46:13.880 Back in December

00:46:14.720 when Joe Biden

00:46:15.540 was president,

00:46:16.480 the vast majority

00:46:17.560 said that we were

00:46:18.260 on the wrong track.

00:46:19.320 Again, this points out

00:46:20.700 that on the whole,

00:46:22.020 Americans like

00:46:22.860 where we're going

00:46:24.080 on immigration policy

00:46:25.440 under Donald Trump,

00:46:26.380 which is very different

00:46:27.700 from where we were

00:46:28.440 under Joe Biden.

00:46:29.820 And comparing the

00:46:31.260 kind of then and now

00:46:32.320 and the progression

00:46:32.840 over time,

00:46:33.600 what about on the specific

00:46:34.480 issue of deportations?

00:46:36.380 I mean, compare it

00:46:37.440 maybe today Trump

00:46:38.760 to first-term Trump.

00:46:40.060 Yeah, this I think

00:46:41.000 is the big change.

00:46:42.600 You know, we were

00:46:42.980 talking about changes

00:46:44.360 in policy

00:46:45.480 and how Americans

00:46:46.480 want policy

00:46:47.580 to be carried out. 0.99

00:46:48.720 Deport all 1.00

00:46:49.420 undocumented immigrants. 1.00

00:46:51.140 Voters favoring

00:46:52.040 the government

00:46:52.720 trying to deport

00:46:53.580 all 11 million of them.

00:46:55.600 Back in 2016,

00:46:56.600 just 38% of voters

00:46:58.820 wanted the government

00:46:59.760 to try to deport

00:47:00.760 all 11 million

00:47:02.280 undocumented immigrants.

00:47:03.780 Compare it to where

00:47:04.420 we are in 2025,

00:47:06.080 56% the majority.

00:47:08.720 The American people

00:47:09.540 have come a long way

00:47:10.780 on this issue,

00:47:11.600 much closer to

00:47:12.400 Donald Trump.

00:47:12.940 And I think that's

00:47:13.500 a big part of the reason

00:47:14.400 why Americans 0.99

00:47:15.560 are increasingly saying

00:47:16.540 the country is on

00:47:17.220 the right track

00:47:17.680 when it comes to

00:47:18.200 immigration policy

00:47:18.980 and why Donald Trump's

00:47:20.080 net approval rating

00:47:20.760 on that issue

00:47:21.280 is in the positive,

00:47:22.940 very much unlike

00:47:23.700 his first term.

00:47:25.980 Okay, that's a bombshell.

00:47:27.440 I mean, it shouldn't

00:47:27.880 be a bombshell

00:47:28.420 of people watching

00:47:30.160 War Room,

00:47:30.840 the War Room Posse.

00:47:32.000 But the country wants,

00:47:36.120 and now CNN

00:47:37.040 can't even hire for them,

00:47:37.880 they want mass deportation

00:47:39.420 of all illegal 0.98

00:47:40.380 alien invaders.

00:47:41.720 Todd Benzman,

00:47:42.760 amazing piece up

00:47:43.720 in the Atlantic.

00:47:44.400 We're going to get

00:47:44.820 Grace to push it out.

00:47:46.340 Walk me through

00:47:47.120 what the Atlantic says,

00:47:48.520 what you take

00:47:49.000 from that polling

00:47:49.680 and where we are.

00:47:50.800 You know this probably

00:47:51.900 better than any person

00:47:53.340 that is not inside

00:47:55.060 the federal government

00:47:56.620 right now

00:47:57.300 working for Tom Homan

00:47:58.920 and President Trump,

00:48:00.080 sir.

00:48:01.720 Well, I think

00:48:02.820 you and I both

00:48:03.900 are sensing

00:48:04.700 a bit of frustration

00:48:05.860 out there

00:48:06.500 in War Room Posse land

00:48:09.220 and MAGA land

00:48:10.560 about the pace

00:48:12.280 of the deportations,

00:48:13.700 that they're not

00:48:14.280 as masses

00:48:15.360 as we would like.

00:48:18.300 But I think that

00:48:19.740 what the Atlantic article

00:48:21.120 is getting to

00:48:21.880 and what my understanding

00:48:23.900 is too

00:48:24.700 is that all of that

00:48:26.540 is about to change

00:48:27.600 because, remember,

00:48:29.260 we are at limited resources.

00:48:31.160 We were left with

00:48:32.440 under the Biden administration.

00:48:34.040 They dismantled

00:48:35.200 the deportation machine

00:48:36.780 and left it

00:48:39.140 just all over the garage.

00:48:40.580 And basically,

00:48:41.400 you know,

00:48:41.680 Tom Homan

00:48:42.220 and those guys

00:48:42.820 have to come in

00:48:43.520 and rebuild this thing

00:48:45.040 and they need money.

00:48:46.680 So there is bicameral support 0.96

00:48:49.880 for $170 billion

00:48:52.860 in the next,

00:48:54.900 in the reconciliation,

00:48:56.540 in the budget

00:48:57.020 that's moving through.

00:48:59.560 On the Senate side,

00:49:00.760 it's $170 billion.

00:49:02.600 On the House side,

00:49:03.460 it's $90 billion.

00:49:04.340 But it doesn't matter.

00:49:05.260 It's going to be

00:49:05.800 absolutely mammoth,

00:49:07.900 this cash infusion,

00:49:10.500 a huge amount of that

00:49:11.860 going to ICE

00:49:12.920 and to DHS

00:49:13.900 for these deportations.

00:49:16.600 That is absolutely historic.

00:49:18.460 Just to give you an idea,

00:49:20.080 ICE's budget

00:49:20.840 is $9 billion total.

00:49:23.920 They're going to talk,

00:49:24.500 they're talking about

00:49:25.160 spending $45 billion alone

00:49:27.320 just on new

00:49:28.080 detention facilities.

00:49:30.140 This is going to be mammoth.

00:49:32.520 And so we're also going

00:49:34.060 to be seeing

00:49:34.880 when that money comes through,

00:49:36.700 I don't know if it's going

00:49:37.320 to happen before

00:49:38.140 or after break,

00:49:38.920 but when the money

00:49:39.520 comes through,

00:49:40.820 you're going to start

00:49:43.240 to see the deportations

00:49:46.280 expand beyond criminal aliens

00:49:49.160 to anybody here

00:49:51.700 who's here illegally.

00:49:54.220 We're scoped to criminal aliens, 0.99

00:49:56.860 A, because everybody loves it,

00:49:58.400 but B, because that's all

00:49:59.700 we can handle right now

00:50:00.960 because of the way

00:50:02.760 the machine was left to us

00:50:05.060 and the numbers of ICE officers

00:50:08.580 way down through attrition

00:50:09.920 over the last four years,

00:50:11.980 et cetera.

00:50:12.560 So I think that we,

00:50:14.700 the Atlantic article

00:50:15.720 was accurate.

00:50:16.720 I don't normally

00:50:17.680 give that much credit.

00:50:19.020 Hang on one second.

00:50:20.240 Hang on one second.

00:50:22.460 It's not that we love,

00:50:23.380 the reason we love it

00:50:24.200 is because of the mom

00:50:25.220 that was up there

00:50:25.820 on the stage,

00:50:26.380 the angel mom yesterday.

00:50:27.340 We have to do this

00:50:28.520 so they don't,

00:50:29.420 they're not preying

00:50:30.340 on the innocent

00:50:31.960 and particularly

00:50:32.560 in the Hispanic

00:50:33.300 and the African community,

00:50:34.820 African American community

00:50:36.360 and the white working class.

00:50:37.500 these communities

00:50:38.780 are preyed upon

00:50:39.740 by these criminals.

00:50:41.080 They have to go.

00:50:42.580 You have to protect,

00:50:43.700 you have to protect

00:50:44.580 our working class.

00:50:45.380 This is outrageous.

00:50:47.360 Number two,

00:50:48.400 Eric Prince was in here

00:50:49.300 yesterday, Todd.

00:50:50.600 He said there's 1.6,

00:50:52.220 he's,

00:50:52.560 after you get the,

00:50:53.260 there's 1.6 million

00:50:55.040 illegal aliens

00:50:56.940 in the country

00:50:57.360 that have a final

00:50:58.200 deportation order.

00:50:59.300 No more court,

00:50:59.980 no more nothing,

00:51:01.140 right?

00:51:01.620 Is that the next tranche

00:51:03.060 that you focus on

00:51:04.520 once the funding

00:51:05.300 gets better?

00:51:06.000 You focus on that

00:51:06.660 1.6 million

00:51:07.720 because that's going to,

00:51:08.640 you're not going to do

00:51:09.260 1.6 million overnight.

00:51:11.660 Is that the next group?

00:51:12.740 Do you triage these

00:51:13.640 and kind of go down,

00:51:15.440 downscale

00:51:16.200 and start the 1.6?

00:51:18.660 Yeah,

00:51:19.100 of course you do.

00:51:20.120 First of all,

00:51:20.700 you never let off the gas 0.52

00:51:22.080 on those criminal aliens.

00:51:23.980 No breaks on them ever.

00:51:26.880 And number two,

00:51:28.840 that is the next tranche

00:51:31.080 that you're talking about there,

00:51:32.160 those with final removal orders,

00:51:33.740 which keeps growing

00:51:34.560 and growing,

00:51:35.780 is an obvious target

00:51:37.420 of the,

00:51:38.720 for the expansion

00:51:39.860 that we're going to be seeing

00:51:41.020 here in the near future.

00:51:42.780 But it's going to go

00:51:44.000 even beyond that

00:51:45.140 because they're going to be,

00:51:46.440 you're going to start

00:51:47.000 to see workplace raids

00:51:48.420 on a regular basis.

00:51:49.900 You're going to see

00:51:50.880 targeting happening

00:51:52.060 for groups,

00:51:54.520 categories,

00:51:55.560 for example,

00:51:56.360 the parolees,

00:51:57.440 the ones that Biden

00:51:58.460 let in,

00:51:59.120 like close to 2 million

00:52:00.540 people on this bogus parole,

00:52:02.780 where the government

00:52:04.440 was doing the illegal smuggling,

00:52:06.940 letting people fly

00:52:08.080 into the country.

00:52:08.920 That's all canceled out.

00:52:10.640 And even if it's in litigation,

00:52:13.420 it doesn't matter

00:52:14.360 because those things time out.

00:52:16.220 They're two-year increments.

00:52:17.720 So eventually,

00:52:18.200 Todd,

00:52:21.320 just hang on.

00:52:22.040 I want to hold you

00:52:22.720 through the break.

00:52:23.840 We're going to leave you

00:52:24.320 with the right stuff

00:52:24.980 in the first hour.

00:52:26.180 Second hour,

00:52:28.300 Todd Benzman

00:52:28.880 will get to the bottom of this

00:52:30.120 and we've got a surprise guest

00:52:31.660 and a lot more going on.

00:52:32.980 Second hour is going to be

00:52:33.760 on fire,

00:52:34.840 hopefully as lit as the first.

00:52:37.180 Be back in the warm

00:52:38.140 in just a moment.

00:52:38.680 The April 15th tax deadline

00:52:53.900 is coming

00:52:54.580 and it's coming fast.

00:52:56.600 Do you have unfiled tax returns?

00:52:58.300 Can't pay the IRS?

00:52:59.860 The IRS is more than aggressive

00:53:01.680 and the more aggressive than ever.

00:53:04.000 And the longer you wait,

00:53:05.060 the worse it gets.

00:53:05.820 Wage garnishments,

00:53:06.960 bank levies,

00:53:07.700 even property seizures

00:53:09.760 are all on the table.

00:53:11.800 You need to get ahead of this.

00:53:13.520 You need to get ahead of it today.

00:53:15.580 But going up against the IRS alone

00:53:17.760 is a big-time mistake.

00:54:37.440 My name is Trevor Comstock.

00:54:38.840 I'm one of the co-creators

00:54:39.720 of Sacred Human.

00:54:40.980 And I wanted to share

00:54:41.760 just a little bit more

00:54:42.580 about our brand

00:54:43.180 for those who may not

00:54:43.960 know of us yet.

00:54:45.340 But about six months ago,

00:54:46.600 we decided to launch

00:54:47.720 Sacred Human

00:54:48.400 with really the simple mission

00:54:50.080 being to provide

00:54:51.320 American-made

00:54:52.480 natural supplements

00:54:53.400 without all the

00:54:54.800 artificial nonsense.

00:54:56.520 So, unfortunately,

00:54:57.620 as many of you know,

00:54:58.400 a lot of these

00:54:59.520 big corporate supplements

00:55:00.540 will include things

00:55:01.380 like preservatives,

00:55:02.740 artificial ingredients,

00:55:04.100 and other additives

00:55:05.020 that really aren't

00:55:05.680 benefiting your health.

00:55:07.160 So, that's why

00:55:08.100 we created Sacred Human,

00:55:09.340 really trying to fill

00:55:10.060 this gap of quality supplements.

00:55:12.260 And, of course,

00:55:12.900 the beef liver

00:55:13.460 being our flagship product.

00:55:15.480 For those who don't know,

00:55:16.900 beef liver is loaded

00:55:18.080 with highly bioavailable

00:55:19.240 ingredients such as

00:55:20.440 vitamin A,

00:55:21.540 B12,

00:55:22.500 zinc,

00:55:23.100 CoQ10,

00:55:24.000 etc.

00:55:24.340 And, because it is

00:55:26.220 100% grass-fed

00:55:27.720 and natural,

00:55:28.840 your body is able

00:55:29.580 to absorb these nutrients

00:55:30.900 far better than

00:55:31.660 taking any other

00:55:32.780 synthetic multivitamin

00:55:34.160 or any other

00:55:35.640 synthetic vitamin

00:55:36.360 in general.

00:55:37.540 So, we have some

00:55:38.600 other amazing products,

00:55:39.600 but if you'd like

00:55:40.100 to check us out,

00:55:40.860 you can go to

00:55:41.260 sacredhumanhealth.com

00:55:42.800 and cheers to your health.
