Maria Cardona and Sarah Downey join us to discuss the latest polls on Trump s approval rating and the impact of his latest tariffs plan. They also discuss the White House putting up posters of what they say are illegal immigrants who have been arrested for violent crimes.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 The ABC News Washington Post poll finds that Trump's economic approval stands at 39% versus 61% who disapprove.
00:00:07.580 Just two months ago, before announcing his wide-ranging tariff plan, 45% had approved with 53% disapproving.
00:00:16.240 That's a real drop.
00:00:17.420 The latest AP NORC poll finds Trump 24 points underwater on the issue of the economy,
00:00:22.960 while the latest New York Times Siena College poll finds Trump 12 points underwater on that issue.
00:00:28.300 The poll also finds that Trump's pursuit of widespread tariffs opposed by 55% of voters and 63% of independents.
00:00:37.800 Gaze, if you look at this right here, if you look at some of the issues, what is fueling this right now,
00:00:41.940 it shows it's really across the board right now.
00:00:44.240 And if you look at where he was in mid-February and you look where he is right now,
00:00:48.140 he is underwater on every issue from a minimum of three percentage points to a maximum of nine percentage points,
00:00:56.500 specifically when it comes to inflation and the economy, as you point out, which is supposed to be his expertise at this point.
00:01:06.420 What is also interesting just overall, too, Sarah, is that he is down seven points from late February,
00:01:13.720 as we note him being an all-time low.
00:01:15.960 So that is an amazing drop in such a short period of time.
00:01:21.400 So Donald Trump right now is having to deal with some of this, some of the fallout with the reality
00:01:27.460 that many of his programs that he's trying to institute and many of his cuts that he's trying to institute
00:01:32.980 are just not taking hold.
00:01:34.500 One thing that was not on the screen that has been rumored that I have to ask you about
00:01:38.520 is should the American people expect an increase in the top marginal tax rate?
00:01:44.260 There have been some reports out there that the Trump administration is looking at pushing the top tax rate
00:01:49.680 for those making over a million dollars back up towards 39, 40 percent.
00:01:53.780 Is that something that we should expect from a Republican bill?
00:01:59.240 I would not expect that.
00:02:00.740 We have been working against that idea.
00:02:02.800 I'm not in favor of raising the tax rates because our party is the group that stands against that traditionally.
00:02:09.900 So there were lots of ideas thrown out on the table along this process over the last year.
00:02:13.780 But I would just say for everybody, just wait and see.
00:02:17.220 There's more details coming, and I think you're going to be very pleased by what you see.
00:02:20.440 I don't think we're raising taxes on anybody.
00:02:22.100 What we're trying to do is prevent the largest tax increase in U.S. history.
00:02:25.900 Before we let you go, we want to get your reaction to something that just occurred.
00:02:28.660 The White House has put up about 100 posters of what they say are unauthorized immigrants who have been arrested for violent crimes.
00:02:37.200 You can see them there.
00:02:38.000 They put them up on the driveway of the White House.
00:02:40.880 If you look here, that's the West Wing just at the forefront, the executive mansion itself to the left.
00:02:46.400 But what's particularly noteworthy about this location is it is right directly behind the positions where TV correspondents do their hits from the White House lawn.
00:02:56.180 So therefore, no matter what network you're on, that includes MSNBC, if you're doing a hit from the White House right now, those pictures will be behind you.
00:03:06.320 The White House is doing a briefing in about a half hour about what they're doing here.
00:03:10.260 Maria, your response to this image.
00:03:13.820 So I have to say, one of the biggest challenges that we have with the deportations that we know of so far, for example, with Kilmer Abrego Garcia, we don't know if they've had due process.
00:03:24.620 We don't know if, in fact, these individuals do have a rap sheet.
00:03:29.060 So I would encourage those individuals that have that as a backshot to blur those people out.
00:03:34.720 The job of journalism is to ensure that we are presenting the facts, that we are cross-referencing.
00:03:40.740 We know that Polly Fact actually checked the Trump administration because of an earlier picture that they released on Kilmer, recognizing that it was altered, that it was false, that they placed gang signs, tattoos on him that weren't real.
00:03:56.340 And so I would really, the press right now, we are absolutely under attack.
00:04:02.620 Our job is always to have our true north, to make sure that we're presenting balanced news, and making sure that we are not putting folks that are potentially in danger.
00:04:13.360 And having that representation of those pictures in the background, we can't allow that to, basically, for us to carry the water of potentially innocent people.
00:04:25.000 So I would encourage, I recognize a lot of shots are tough, but I would encourage folks to actually make sure that those shots are blurred to the best of your abilities.
00:04:31.860 Well, first of all, how many illegal aliens, I think, are in the United States? At least 20 million.
00:04:37.500 Here's the word you come up with that number. We've been speaking about 12 million for 20 years.
00:04:41.400 We know we got 10.5 that we know of came to the border. How many don't we know of?
00:04:45.860 I talk about known gotaways at 2 million. How many unknown gotaways do we have?
00:04:49.480 Like, between the Big Bend sector in Texas, where there's no technology, how many thousand people dig across from there? We wouldn't know.
00:04:56.520 We would know now. But, you know, so I would venture over 20 million.
00:05:00.920 But your question is, last count, we got, last I looked, there was about 700,000 illegal aliens with criminal charges walking the streets of this country.
00:05:10.540 700,000. And that's what we're looking for now. That's what we're prioritizing. Them and National Security Threats.
00:05:17.620 The registration requirements under 8 U.S.C. 1302, if you're an illegal alien in the United States, this message is for you.
00:05:23.760 You cannot hide from ICE. We're actively looking for you.
00:05:27.100 Federal law requires every alien in the United States who has been present in the United States for more than 30 days needs to register.
00:05:35.840 For those 14 years or older, you need to be fingerprinted with the Department of Homeland Security.
00:05:41.220 Federal law requires every alien in the United States to tell DHS in writing if you have a change in address within 10 days of changing that address.
00:05:48.800 Failing to register with DHS and fare to tell DHS about your new address are criminal offenses and they will be treated as such.
00:05:58.420 Starting today.
00:06:00.780 Make no mistake. If you're in the country illegally and you fail to do what the law requires, we will prosecute you.
00:06:07.240 You will go to jail. Then we'll deport you.
00:06:09.280 Second law. Penalties for fare to depart. 8 U.S.C. 1253.
00:06:15.480 If you're an alien inside the United States who has a final order, this message is for you.
00:06:19.640 If you have a final order, the Trump administration is committed to enforcing our immigration laws,
00:06:25.480 especially for those aliens who have received final orders of deportation.
00:06:29.220 There are currently around 1.4 million illegal aliens who have been ordered removed but remain here in violation of the law.
00:06:36.760 We will aggressively prosecute, consistent with longstanding law, those aliens for failing or refusing to depart
00:06:45.720 or who takes other related actions aimed at hindering their removal.
00:06:51.200 You cannot open the door. You cannot answer questions. You cannot open your car door.
00:06:55.640 You consider it to evade law enforcement.
00:06:57.420 If you fail to leave the United States after receiving a removed order, we can and will issue monetary fines up to $998 a day.
00:07:10.600 Evading your arrest, knowing you have a final order of removal, is a criminal offense.
00:07:16.600 We will prosecute. Then we'll deport you.
00:07:20.080 Get your affairs in order. If you're in the country illegally, work with ICE, go to CBP1 on a home app, and leave on your own.
00:07:29.320 Because we have to find it, deport you, and prosecute you.
00:07:32.660 You'll have a bar placed under you, and you won't come back to this country.
00:07:36.460 You won't be able to come back on a visitor's visa, a tourist visa.
00:07:39.160 If you have a U.S. citizen child, can't petition for you.
00:07:41.080 If you're in this country illegally, get your affairs in order, and work with us, and get yourself removed from this country.
00:07:48.380 That's what the law requires, and we're going to enforce that law.
00:07:53.360 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:07:58.280 Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.
00:08:03.480 Here's the reason I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
00:08:07.780 The people have had a belly full of it.
00:08:09.280 I know you don't like hearing that.
00:08:11.200 I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
00:08:13.820 It's going to happen.
00:08:15.100 And where do people like that go to share the big line?
00:08:18.480 Mega Media.
00:08:19.820 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:08:25.240 Ask yourself, what is my task, and what is my purpose?
00:08:29.040 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:08:35.220 War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann.
00:08:39.280 Monday, 28 April, year of early 2025.
00:08:47.320 How does the president start off the week of his 100 days?
00:08:51.480 He has Tom Homan do a presser.
00:08:54.120 Caroline Levitt and Tom Homan started 830 this morning with a double-barrel shotgun blast.
00:09:00.220 Dave Brat's riding shotgun today.
00:09:01.940 I'd love, well, the first hour, Harnwell for second hour.
00:09:06.340 Brett, I love Tom Homan.
00:09:09.120 Get your affairs in order, right?
00:09:11.340 Because you're leaving the yard.
00:09:13.380 They throw down hard.
00:09:14.200 This is where presidents already stopped the invasion of the country.
00:09:16.700 Now it's time to reverse it.
00:09:18.940 Homan says, hey, there's 20 million.
00:09:20.420 We're just focused on the 10 million that are here under Biden.
00:09:22.720 Let's get that done first.
00:09:23.860 But Homan, I think, is focused in.
00:09:26.640 And they've got the want ads.
00:09:29.480 They've got the wanted.
00:09:31.320 I think 100 or 200 signs in the back of the mainstream media.
00:09:34.260 So they can't avoid it.
00:09:35.380 They've got to talk about it, right?
00:09:36.860 Upping your grill.
00:09:37.980 Happy White House Correspondents Weekend to you.
00:09:41.680 No, it's a beautiful thing.
00:09:44.040 The rule of law is just what it says.
00:09:47.300 And we've just gotten, you know, the press, the mainstream media always talks about inclusivity,
00:09:53.100 caring about everyone.
00:09:54.440 The Pope over the weekend, inclusivity for all the voices.
00:09:57.780 The only voice, though, that's not been listened to is the American people.
00:10:00.560 Oh, slow down.
00:10:01.660 The Pope inclusivity?
00:10:03.040 What are you talking about?
00:10:03.800 Oh, the mainstream media.
00:10:04.900 That's the way.
00:10:05.120 Oh, yes, yes, yes, inclusivity, yeah.
00:10:07.300 Another mainstream media propagand a lot, yes.
00:10:09.560 No, they put him forward as Mr. Inclusivity.
00:10:12.880 The Vatican's got walls.
00:10:14.480 But his remarks, and even in his funeral, the Vatican couldn't resist putting in a mark
00:10:21.060 about borders versus building bridges.
00:10:24.340 No, no, in the homily, they took a shot right at the prison.
00:10:26.480 Trump's building bridges to the rest of the world.
00:10:29.320 He's going to end up saving Europe from itself.
00:10:31.700 He's going to save the world.
00:10:32.840 He's going to save this country.
00:10:34.040 He's going to save the American worker through manufacturing.
00:10:37.020 And there's no competing plan.
00:10:38.980 The mainstream media is just continually deconstructing everything.
00:10:43.320 They're incapable of constructing a positive vision.
00:10:47.180 And so, Holman, thank God, we've got a few patriots left.
00:10:50.300 You follow the law.
00:10:51.240 And these judges, these court cases coming up.
00:10:53.480 Trump was funny the other day on the news.
00:10:55.060 He said, I think this is going to be kind of like another men in the women's locker room issue.
00:11:00.720 You know, these judges and going down to-
00:11:03.360 Lock them up.
00:11:04.320 A judge sitting there letting an illegal alien go, and the FBI is out in the lobby.
00:11:07.680 She knows and lets it go.
00:11:08.660 Lock her up.
00:11:09.180 And we've got a Democrat congressman who was a friend of mine when I was in.
00:11:13.320 He's one boy.
00:11:14.080 He said, I don't think this is the guy to go save.
00:11:17.740 Right?
00:11:19.300 No, no, no.
00:11:20.220 The guy's a human trafficker.
00:11:22.900 John Solomon and Michael Patrick Leahy in the team.
00:11:27.560 Benzman have proven he's a human trafficker.
00:11:29.380 But it's emblematic of what they want to do.
00:11:33.260 We're pretty packed today.
00:11:34.200 I want to talk about Canada.
00:11:35.360 I've got Viva Frye here.
00:11:36.220 Also, Mark Mitchell saying this polling is a PSYOP.
00:11:40.320 Also, yesterday, in Freed Zakhar's GPS, the show on Saturday, he had Zandi.
00:11:50.580 Zandi's the head of The Economist.
00:11:54.920 She was on.
00:11:56.460 But it also had Ray Dalio.
00:11:58.920 And Dalio kept talking.
00:12:00.900 They would ask Zandi something.
00:12:02.120 She would give all this kind of, you know, Trump's this, trade this, all this kind of superficial.
00:12:06.860 Ray Dalio, who I'm no fan of, and he's no fan of War Room, he would come back with pure War Room.
00:12:13.600 This model's unsustainable.
00:12:15.360 You're spending two trillion every hundred days, another trillion dollars.
00:12:19.220 Freed Zakhar could not wait to cut this guy's mic off.
00:12:21.860 It's pretty amazing.
00:12:22.740 We'll see it.
00:12:23.140 Okay, let's go to, we have an open for Viva Frye on Canada.
00:12:27.020 Let's play, today's election day in what they used to call the Great White North, the old TV show, the old comedy show.
00:12:34.060 Let's go ahead and play Viva Frye's open.
00:12:36.000 Have you taken any steps to carry out President Trump's plans as he has said he would like to annex Canada?
00:12:44.260 Have you taken any steps in that direction?
00:12:46.440 No, I think what the president has said, and he has said this repeatedly, is he was told by the previous prime minister that Canada could not survive without unfair trade with the United States.
00:12:55.700 At which point, he asked, well, if you can't survive as a nation without treating us unfairly in trade, then you should become a state.
00:13:02.260 That's what he said.
00:13:03.360 They'll have their elections this week.
00:13:04.640 They're going to have their new leader, and we'll deal with the new leadership of Canada.
00:13:07.740 There are many things we work with cooperatively on Canada on, but we actually don't like the way they've treated us when it comes to trade.
00:13:13.120 And the president has made that point when he responded to the previous prime minister in regards to this.
00:13:19.240 So does the president, does the U.S. still want to make Canada the 51st state?
00:13:24.420 I think the president has stated repeatedly that he thinks Canada would be better off as a state.
00:13:28.840 Now, it's unclear if former prime minister Justin Trudeau actually ever made that statement to Trump that Rubio claims.
00:13:36.420 But the current prime minister, Mark Carney, whose party is now poised to win today's election, well, he's pushed back on the idea of the United States ever taking over Canada, saying in a recent press conference, quote,
00:13:48.300 to be clear, as I've said to anyone who's raised this issue in private or in public, including the president, it will never happen.
00:13:58.640 OK, Viva Fry, Viva, just give me a heads up because we've got to go to break right here, right?
00:14:04.900 I got that clock right. OK, I just want to make sure.
00:14:07.680 Viva, you hang on. We're going to talk about Canada and we're going to talk about if the quote unquote populace had gone more Trump,
00:14:15.640 we would have a better outlook on today. A little cloudy up there in Canada.
00:14:20.180 Carney, I can't believe you're going to elect a Goldman Sachs guy.
00:14:24.900 Who elects Goldman Sachs guys in this day and age?
00:14:28.260 Short commercial break. Viva Fry on the other side.
00:14:30.200 So I suggest you take a look inside.
00:14:38.120 Because I think you've changed already.
00:14:42.360 You went and lost your pride.

00:16:12.100 Jonathan, in the greater Toronto area.
00:16:14.860 And first of all, if you've talked to Canadians or gone to Canada since Donald Trump took over, you know this.
00:16:21.840 They are stung.
00:16:23.400 They feel betrayed about the treatment, not just the tariffs, but the talk of annexation, because they're obviously a sovereign country.
00:16:32.700 They can't understand why they're a best friend to the South, a place where they travel to.
00:16:36.700 And, you know, any Canadian with, like, five bucks in the bank has a condo in Florida or Arizona.
00:16:42.020 And they can't understand for the life of them why they're being treated like this now.
00:16:45.080 Politically speaking, this has gone from a sure thing for the Conservative Party to, you know, take back power for the first time in a decade to a certainly tilt liberal race almost entirely because of Donald Trump.
00:16:58.860 Here's why.
00:16:59.800 The Conservative standard bearer is in a jam.
00:17:02.580 A third of Conservative Canadians kind of like Donald Trump.
00:17:06.200 Most of the country can't stand him.
00:17:07.600 But the Conservative is squeezed between the Conservative base of his party, especially out west in the western provinces, who do like Trump and the rest of the country, who hates Trump.
00:17:16.680 So he can't criticize Trump directly like you saw Mark Carney, the liberal, did there and sort of put the Conservative in a vice.
00:17:25.140 And then secondly, Jonathan, what's fascinating about this race is.
00:17:29.380 We're a Bob and Doug McKenzie when you need them, right?
00:17:32.780 The famous duo of the great white north.
00:17:36.180 Viva Frye, tell me what's going on up there because I tell you, if Carney does happen to pull this out, the progressives are going to use this as the flag they plant to say, OK, this is the international.
00:17:49.780 The Americans, the Democrats are too screwed up.
00:17:52.900 The progressive movement here is too far gone.
00:17:55.640 But the international liberal order will come to the rescue to save the world.
00:18:01.440 They'll start in Canada and you'll start to see the big universities overseas backing Harvard and the Ivies.
00:18:06.180 This will lead to institutional support.
00:18:08.640 So this is what they're going to consider their rally point will be today.
00:18:12.640 Your thoughts are why have the quote unquote populist not really run as a fire breathing populist?
00:18:19.300 Is Canada just too nice?
00:18:21.240 You just got to be too nice up there, sir?
00:18:23.400 Well, that is that analysis was pretty on point in that there's a substantial base of the Conservatives up in Canada who do like Trump or don't have a problem with him.
00:18:32.760 But there's a substantial portion that are as brainwashed as the liberals as relates to Trump.
00:18:37.380 And so Pierre, he had a fine line to walk, but it's a line that I don't think he had to walk in the first place because he could have just stayed silent on Trump and leveled all of his attacks and blame against the liberals in terms of blaming whatever Trump tariffs and threats of annexation Trump was issuing.
00:18:53.320 Blame it on the liberals because it was a result of 10 years of failed liberal policy.
00:18:57.820 I don't think this will start a cascade of liberalism or the liberal world order worldwide.
00:19:03.320 I do think Canada is something of an anomaly in their opposition to or reluctance to embrace populism.
00:19:10.120 We see populism thriving in Europe, albeit, you know, it's struggling, but it's thriving in Romania, South America, Brazil.
00:19:17.560 We see it.
00:19:18.420 My level of being flabbergasted is how much resistance there is to the populist movement in Canada.
00:19:24.320 And I think it has to do with having a media that is totally corrupt and totally captured by the government that basically acts as their watchdogs and their lapdogs and not their watchdogs.
00:19:34.960 And so you have the media convincing everybody in Canada that their woes are the result of three months of tariff threats and discussion of annexation and not a decade of liberal devastation.
00:19:46.420 And Pierre fumbled the ball in terms of making sure Canadians understood where that blame should lie.
00:19:52.020 But we'll see today if the liberals win, let alone a minority, but I say, heaven forbid, a majority government.
00:19:57.540 If they win a majority government, I do predict that it's going to lead to the breakup of Canada, not a liberalist new world order.
00:20:03.680 It's going to lead to Alberta moving to secede from Canada because you've got a bunch of liberal environmental panicking, you know,
00:20:10.220 anti-science nutbags who are exploiting Alberta for its resources while crippling Alberta's ability to exploit its resources, stealing their money, spreading it throughout Canada to the have-not provinces.
00:20:21.180 And Alberta's going to say, we've had enough of this.
00:20:23.180 Quebec and Ontario dictating the politics of the land and exploiting us while crippling us.
00:20:28.400 So I think it'll lead to the breakup of Canada if the liberals get a majority.
00:20:31.540 But I'm still mildly optimistic that Pierre can eke out a minority conservative government, and one can only hope he manages to get a majority conservative government.
00:20:41.180 But that's looking very, very unlikely.
00:20:44.660 OK, as we go through the day, we'll try to get you back on it.
00:20:47.100 What should we be looking for?
00:20:48.300 What are going to be the tells that – because right there, a liberal majority government, you said,
00:20:54.560 it leads to a breakup of Canada and Alberta with all its resources and kind of, I would say, cowboy culture,
00:21:01.440 I'd take it to become independent or maybe even associate with the United States of America?
00:21:06.280 Oh, the move to secede.
00:21:07.620 Like, hey, if Canada finds the 51st state offensive, Albertans certainly don't.
00:21:12.260 And so whether or not they secede, it leads to Quebec seceding.
00:21:15.200 Quebec tried twice under ordinary circumstances.
00:21:17.920 It'll lead to the breakup balkanization of Canada.
00:21:20.240 But what to look for today, we've just got to wait until the results trickle in.
00:21:23.440 And the East typically goes liberal.
00:21:26.860 If it goes less liberal, then we'll be more optimistic for the rest of Canada.
00:21:30.720 But it's just wild that after a decade of literal devastation – everything is worse in Canada,
00:21:36.440 regardless of how you want to frame it – after a decade of this, three liberal governments,
00:21:41.360 people in Canada are sufficiently propagandized and ignorant and politically amnesiac
00:21:45.680 that they're going to vote for the liberals a fourth time.
00:21:48.640 It's enraging as far as I'm concerned watching it transpire from down here.
00:21:52.240 And I don't understand what it takes to wake up Canadians to the fact that it's the liberals
00:21:56.780 and not Trump that is the source of their problems.
00:22:01.200 Viva, how can people follow you today?
00:22:03.500 What's your social media?
00:22:04.700 And we'll get you back on to see – what's your social media that people follow you during the day?
00:22:09.140 So Viva Fry on Rumble, and I'll be live.
00:22:11.900 I got my daily lineup on Rumble at 4 o'clock.
00:22:13.900 I'll be live streaming the results tonight.
00:22:15.980 And Viva Fry on Twitter and VivaBarnesLaw.Locals.com is our locals community.
00:22:21.460 So I'll be live all day.
00:22:22.660 I'm tweeting my needles at the liberals.
00:22:24.940 You know, elbows up.
00:22:25.840 It's really funny when you're being held up at gunpoint because crime in Canada is at basically a decade high.
00:22:30.140 Because of liberal policies, gun violence is at a high despite all of the gun laws that the liberals have implemented on law-abiding citizens.
00:22:37.000 So elbows up, Canadians.
00:22:38.120 Go vote for the liberals.
00:22:39.120 You're abusers yet again.
00:22:41.620 Elbows up.
00:22:42.740 Viva Fry, thank you, brother.
00:22:44.120 Appreciate you.
00:22:47.960 Fourth time.
00:22:48.880 Think about that.
00:22:49.780 They'll vote him in for a fourth time.
00:22:51.000 The Trump derangement system syndrome north of the border is something to behold.
00:22:58.460 When you've got Castro's sons been there and destroyed the country.
00:23:01.620 Although, not so sure that the populace ran a fire-breathing campaign.
00:23:06.020 You should have had those conservatives sitting there saying, hey, look, this is not Trump's problem.
00:23:10.920 This is not Trump's fault.
00:23:12.660 Let's see.
00:23:12.920 We got Mark.
00:23:13.580 So Mark Mitchell.
00:23:14.440 So, Rasmus, you're known as the person that can poll MAGA and one of the best analytic people following the president and his everything associated with the MAGA movement.
00:23:27.980 All I hear all weekend in a drudge and everywhere is polls, the lowest in 100 years, the lowest in human history, 39 percent, 41 percent, 40 percent.
00:23:39.120 Every issue, immigration, right, which he closed, he basically sealed the border in 60 days on immigration, on economy, on everything.
00:23:49.480 This awful, upside down, 70-30 against, 60-40 against.
00:23:54.780 Although, all those issues still seem to be pretty popular with the people in the United States.
00:24:00.000 What say you, sir?
00:24:02.100 You know that meme with the cat in the tinfoil hat?
00:24:05.900 Every day I wake up and there's another psyop.
00:24:07.940 That's exactly what's happening right now.
00:24:10.000 They have nothing else.
00:24:11.180 They have no political power.
00:24:12.580 And so all they have is to just rail against Trump.
00:24:15.620 And after the election, I had an honest question about, well, maybe they'll finally put getting into the black ahead of propaganda.
00:24:23.960 And it looks like they haven't.
00:24:25.920 And it's because they're shills for the establishment and they're going to continue to shill for the establishment.
00:24:30.100 But you're spot on.
00:24:31.440 And the reason Trump got elected is because his policies were more popular than he was, overwhelmingly so.
00:24:38.360 And we've measured it so many different ways.
00:24:40.600 But I have a new fresh one to read to you here.
00:24:44.040 Do you agree or disagree with this statement?
00:24:46.080 You can't just free the criminals and think crime is going to go down magically.
00:24:49.480 You have to imprison criminals so you can liberate 350 million Americans that are asking for the end of crime and the end of terrorism.
00:24:58.440 That's Naive Bukele, quote, 66 percent of U.S. likely voters agree, 43 percent strongly.
00:25:06.220 Only 20 percent disagree.
00:25:08.000 Only 99 percent strongly disagree.
00:25:10.140 So Americans overwhelmingly see what's happening on the news.
00:25:13.000 They're like, oh, sweet.
00:25:13.960 Illegal aliens are getting deported.
00:25:16.300 And so all they have to do is try to undermine this guy's approval rating.
00:25:20.420 But it's not going to work after Biden.
00:25:23.140 And we poll every night.
00:25:24.880 I think we're the ones that people should pay attention to because we've done more approval polling than any other pollster.
00:25:30.880 And we've been pretty good as far as elections go, too.
00:25:33.980 I mean, we've disproven this whole Rasmus and Leans right thing.
00:25:37.360 And if you look at the polling, you know, take the first six months of Obama and set that aside.
00:25:43.640 Right. Because something different was going on there.
00:25:45.860 The great financial collapse, recovery and a whole bunch of cultural zeitgeist.
00:25:50.820 If you set that aside in our numbers, Trump pretty much polls like Obama did.
00:25:56.640 And Biden does not.
00:25:57.860 He's like four or five points on average lower than everybody else.
00:26:00.980 And I'll tell you what.
00:26:01.680 Our Biden approval is higher than everybody else.
00:26:03.540 So here's the thing.
00:26:04.180 Two or three years ago, everybody would be like, oh, look at Quinnipiac.
00:26:07.480 They have Biden approval at a 33 percent.
00:26:09.700 Well, no, Biden approval wasn't at 33 percent.
00:26:12.540 Quinnipiac just sucks.
00:26:14.180 So don't quote him now if you're trying to do a story about Trump approval.
00:26:19.000 Trump came in north of 50.
00:26:21.200 He's at 47 percent, underwater five right now.
00:26:24.380 The RealClearPolitics aggregates underwater seven.
00:26:27.460 So about two points to the left of me where it should be.
00:26:30.660 And that's what happens.
00:26:32.000 That's what happens to presidents.
00:26:33.180 They have a honeymoon.
00:26:34.680 It goes away.
00:26:35.340 Trump's going to probably hang around 50 percent.
00:26:38.180 But it's like, OK, well, let's focus on the economic issues.
00:26:41.580 And voters overwhelmingly say, no, the economy isn't about the stock market.
00:26:44.880 It's about jobs by almost a four to one margin.
00:26:47.520 They actually rate him pretty good.
00:26:49.700 We asked in the middle of the stock market crisis.
00:26:52.120 And Donald Trump pulled out a 44 percent excellent or good as a rating on the issue of the economy.
00:26:58.040 And also tradies in the 40s, too.
00:27:00.380 Those are higher than any issue ever in all of our polling that Biden was rated on.
00:27:06.020 It just was.
00:27:06.720 His best issue is national security.
00:27:08.760 Trump's worst issue blows Biden out of the water.
00:27:11.020 Hang on one second.
00:27:13.240 I want to keep you around.
00:27:14.660 Dave Brad and I are going to have some reporte and some questions for you.
00:27:18.800 This is quite important.
00:27:19.800 The best pollster of the MAGA movement and Trump.
00:27:24.440 What's so bad about saying you lean right?
00:27:26.360 Don't you lean right?

00:27:48.900 That's all they talked about.
00:27:50.620 Stock markets made it all back, I think.
00:27:52.640 And maybe a tad up.
00:27:57.060 Suck on that, CNBC.

00:29:33.960 We're trying to make you smarter.
00:29:35.540 By the way, I'm so honored to be at Hillsdale to give a talk on Thursday
00:29:43.400 and then had a great opportunity to have Chris Caldwell and Chris Leonard,
00:29:48.660 my favorite book, The Lords of Easy Money, joined us out in Kansas City.
00:29:53.020 He's Kansas City.
00:29:54.240 And had Sean Davis from the Federalist.
00:29:57.020 Just some fantastic people.
00:29:59.760 One thing I got the entire time was tremendous compliments on the war room.
00:30:03.080 Audience, the power and stroke you have.
00:30:06.120 One of the reasons is you're learned up.
00:30:08.400 You've gone up the learning curve.
00:30:09.440 Bannon at 9-8-9-8-9-8.
00:30:14.280 Text it.
00:30:14.800 You go to Birch Gold.
00:30:15.740 You get the ultimate guide for investing in gold and precious metals in the era of Trump.
00:30:21.280 Boom.
00:30:22.260 Get it today.
00:30:24.400 Make sure you understand what's going on,
00:30:25.780 particularly the dollar as a prime reserve currency.
00:30:28.080 That may come back to bite us, but you're going to be ahead of the curve.
00:30:32.520 Trust me.
00:30:33.660 We're going to have Ray Dalio on here with Freed Zakhar.
00:30:35.900 Do you buy Mark Mitchell's thesis?
00:30:39.440 Not that they're the best pollster, but the fact that this is essentially a psy-op.
00:30:45.500 That, you know, because it's come out in unison.
00:30:48.780 It's hitting wave after wave after wave.
00:30:51.300 Trump's unpopular.
00:30:52.500 Although the issues and the job he's done on some of the...
00:30:55.400 Remember, Lankford had a bill in front of us two years ago.
00:30:58.360 You sat right here.
00:30:59.300 We went through it.
00:31:00.220 It would take us a decade.
00:31:01.320 We spent another $100 billion to do what Trump did in 60 days.
00:31:07.060 Seal the border, right?
00:31:08.700 And now you've got Tom Holman up there today saying, hey, get your affairs in order.
00:31:13.280 Because if you're still here and we track you down, it's going to be a criminal penalty.
00:31:18.600 Yeah.
00:31:18.920 Yeah.
00:31:19.320 It's a psy-op.
00:31:20.480 It's what's covered and what's not covered.
00:31:22.260 Can you imagine if the mainstream media went after the cell phone records of every Democratic
00:31:28.140 politician and every secretary under President Biden and track them on national defense issues
00:31:34.740 and whatever?
00:31:35.100 They were working against the country on national defense issues.
00:31:37.940 Our guys are all patriots and Cub Scouts doing good.
00:31:40.720 And here and there you make a technical mistake or whatever.
00:31:43.400 But yeah, what's covered versus what's not covered?
00:31:45.780 I looked up a few stats with the Canada news.
00:31:48.440 They won't cover any of this, right?
00:31:49.820 Canada's government is a percentage of GDP, right?
00:31:53.140 So they have a huge government.
00:31:54.840 Canada's 43%.
00:31:56.400 Their government's 43% of their GDP, of their economy.
00:31:59.980 The U.K. is the same.
00:32:01.320 That's why they're tanking.
00:32:02.700 The U.S. is 37.
00:32:04.160 Nothing to be proud of.
00:32:06.080 And then the percent...
00:32:06.740 Nothing to be proud of.
00:32:07.640 We're tanking, too.
00:32:08.560 You can't be at 37.
00:32:09.480 Too much.
00:32:09.880 It's too big.
00:32:10.480 And then Christian, only 53% in Canada.
00:32:13.760 U.S. is still at 67.
00:32:15.260 I think it's a hair higher than that.
00:32:16.940 But those are also correlated.
00:32:18.400 And so we saw with the Pope, no one's in the pews in Europe, and their economies are tanking.
00:32:24.120 I ran regressions on this stuff 35 years ago when you weren't allowed to publish that.
00:32:29.520 You couldn't say anything in mainstream academia about religion, and you still can't.
00:32:33.800 And that's why Harvard and Yale and Columbia and all these are under fire.
00:32:37.480 They don't pursue truth anymore.
00:32:39.140 The mainstream media says that in the open clip, the role of the media is to tell the truth.
00:32:46.360 You tell everything except the truth, right?
00:32:48.880 Just these basic stats I looked up in five minutes, the mainstream reporters can't seem to find any of them.
00:32:54.780 And so, yeah, Mark Mitchell, he's always solid.
00:32:57.860 He gives the numbers.
00:32:58.800 We need to do more of that.
00:32:59.960 And so congratulations to Rasmussen.
00:33:03.680 So, Mark, just lay out the thesis once again.
00:33:07.020 With people being bombarded this weekend and this morning, and you're going to see it all the way through, Trump is going to go to Michigan for a rally.
00:33:17.080 We're going to do special coverage here in the war room.
00:33:19.660 Eric Bolling will be in studio.
00:33:22.100 We're going to do a special, like, four hours.
00:33:23.960 Eric Bolling, myself, Brian Glenn will be on Air Force One with the president, and the great Steve Gruber will be up in Michigan because he's the Rush Limbaugh of Michigan.
00:33:34.020 He'll be up there hosting.
00:33:37.200 All day, Mitchell, they're going to be bombarding us on the 100th day that Trump is the most unpopular, is the most unpopular president in 100 years.
00:33:50.600 Yeah, I'd like to back up what I've been saying with a little bit of evidence.
00:33:53.700 So don't just take it from me that there's a psychological operation going on.
00:33:58.040 I will say if you look at the RealClearPolitics aggregate right now, just in the last, like, two days, a whole lot of polls dropped, and they were all – they all look the same.
00:34:07.760 Reuters, Ipsos, negative 11.
00:34:09.340 Fox News, negative 11.
00:34:10.860 CBS, negative 10.
00:34:12.160 CNN, negative 14.
00:34:13.920 New York Times, who's been missing in action, negative 12.
00:34:18.080 And ABC News, Washington Post, negative 13.
00:34:20.840 They all dropped double-digit underwater polls for Donald Trump within a few days of each other, and it's all these people that haven't been polling that much.
00:34:29.460 They did it for the 100 days.
00:34:31.320 But then go to Google Trends, which is one of my favorite tools, and look at all of the search history going all the way back for the terms Trump approval, Biden approval, Bush approval, and Obama approval.
00:34:42.520 And what you'll see is that for some reason there's something different about Donald Trump.
00:34:47.380 For some reason, Trump approval drives way more, way more organic search volume than any of those other presidents, which is totally crazy considering how popular Obama ostensibly was.
00:34:59.580 And what you see this April, it looks like it's going to be the second-highest month of all of Google polling history – or Google's data history of searches for Trump approval.
00:35:09.840 So that's how I know it's a psyop.
00:35:12.000 People are getting these stories shoved down their throats.
00:35:14.720 They're going on Google.
00:35:15.420 They're trying to check it out themselves.
00:35:17.000 The mainstream media is going to information gatekeep and shove a Quinnipiac poll in their face that says negative 12.
00:35:21.800 These guys were all between seven and nine points left of me in September.
00:35:26.300 And this is the exact same thing they were doing back then, trying to use the TikTok videos and Kamala Harris' debate performance to create a fake lead.
00:35:35.500 But I have one other thing I want to bring up and look at.
00:35:37.880 Everybody focuses on Trump approval, and what we've been focusing on is how highly approved of his policies are.
00:35:44.580 But if you look at the electoral math, if you take turnout as a percent of voting eligible population or voting age population, depending on what data is available, and then you take each president their share of the national popular vote that they won, and then stack rank them based on how many, what percent of Americans that president got to vote for them.
00:36:08.100 Trump 2.0 got 32 percent of the electorate to vote for him.
00:36:13.620 Where does that stack up?
00:36:15.140 Higher than JFK, George W. Bush 2, Obama 2, Reagan 1, FDR No. 4, Bush, H.W. Bush, Carter, Trump 1, Nixon 1, George W. Bush 1.
00:36:28.860 George W. Bush 1 was at 26 percent.
00:36:31.200 Donald Trump's got 32 percent.
00:36:33.960 Hang on.
00:36:34.420 Walk me through that formula again.
00:36:35.900 It's early in the Monday morning, and I'm only halfway through my – I had a tough weekend.
00:36:41.920 It was a little under the weather, and I'm still going through my Warpath coffee.
00:36:45.040 Give me that.
00:36:45.980 Don't hit me with that, Mitchell.
00:36:47.380 The early morning.
00:36:48.060 Give it to me again.
00:36:48.820 Well, it's like, OK, do people like Trump or not?
00:36:52.500 They saw him first time around, and they got a chance to vote for him again, right?
00:36:56.540 And you take how many people turned out, like actual voters, and then you take the national popular vote.
00:37:03.100 So it's like, OK, of the voters that turned out, how much did that winner get?
00:37:07.360 And Trump 2.0 got way more than Trump 1.0, 32 percent compared to 28 percent, and he improved massively.
00:37:15.680 And his electoral performance was better than like pretty much everybody except for like really – Trump 2.0 was only beaten by FDR number three, Reagan number two, Obama one.
00:37:27.340 But again, we all know craziness that was going on there.
00:37:30.080 And then Biden with that really huge asterisk about the highest turnout ever in the history of American elections, right?
00:37:37.420 There's that.
00:37:38.720 But my point is is that the heat went up a lot.
00:37:41.320 The eight million votes had never showed – the eight million votes had never showed back up since then, right?
00:37:45.240 And we're just saying.
00:37:46.100 Where'd they go, right?
00:37:48.300 So Obama went from 33 down to under 30.
00:37:53.420 Donald Trump went from 27.7 up to 32.
00:37:56.920 Donald Trump's first time in office and the four years of Biden convinced way more people to vote for Donald Trump.
00:38:04.660 And listen, we're only a few months into this second term.
00:38:07.680 The election was barely six months ago.
00:38:10.100 And so you're just not going to – like that's not what's happened.
00:38:13.260 Millions of people did not change their mind about Donald Trump.
00:38:16.400 It's all a media circus.
00:38:18.480 It's all cherry-picked stuff in order to drive a narrative.
00:38:21.520 It's probably coming from the top down still is my guess.
00:38:24.600 You know, I'd love to see the talking points that are still being distributed to the news.
00:38:28.580 But here we are.
00:38:29.880 Until somebody – until something pops off, right?
00:38:32.360 Until there's a violent riot or until some state decides to get uppity with the feds, this is what they have.
00:38:38.900 To just try – it's like the mean girls tactic.
00:38:41.160 They're just going to try for months and months and months to convince everybody that Donald Trump's not cool enough.
00:38:45.980 But Americans can't put food on the table.
00:38:47.700 Yeah, hey, Mark, I got a quick one for you, too.
00:38:51.320 I saw the Consumer Sentiment Index.
00:38:54.820 Republicans 92 percent.
00:38:57.340 Democrats 35 percent on consumer sentiment.
00:39:01.460 Can you break that down for us just a hair?
00:39:04.060 Because that seems more like a political sentiment.
00:39:07.260 The economics is missing, right?
00:39:09.280 There's no way you're going to have Republicans with consumer expenditures or anything correlated at 92 percent with Democrats at 32.
00:39:17.620 So are all these variables just being conflated with political variables and Trump derangement syndrome?
00:39:23.860 I mean there's just so many different ways to measure that.
00:39:28.220 But the Republican Party and Trump supporters are all in on this, right?
00:39:33.480 And so there's an aspect of optimism.
00:39:35.340 Their numbers definitely ticked up a lot.
00:39:37.560 And I think it's this idea that overwhelmingly Republicans say that the economy is jobs.
00:39:42.700 And Democrats are a lot less likely to say that.
00:39:45.660 But then there's just the fact that like you can call it chaos.
00:39:48.340 But we polled.
00:39:49.300 We asked this specific question.
00:39:51.220 Is this what you voted for?
00:39:52.600 And it was like a week or two ago.
00:39:54.220 Eighty percent of Trump voters say, yeah, like, yes, this is what I voted.
00:39:58.720 And so there's a bunch of different ways to measure it.
00:40:01.080 But remember, we asked that.
00:40:02.340 Is this going to be a golden age?
00:40:04.480 And Republicans overwhelmingly agreed.
00:40:08.120 Yeah, good.
00:40:08.580 And this is a little tongue-in-cheek.
00:40:10.760 But I just looked up the S&P 500 is up 8 percent for the past year.
00:40:18.340 Not year to date, but for the past year.
00:40:20.500 And it's up 23 percent over the past three years.
00:40:24.980 It might be 28 percent.
00:40:26.520 Have you ever asked a question just to see if people know what's going on?
00:40:31.580 Is the stock market up over 5 percent this year?
00:40:37.400 And just see what they say, right?
00:40:39.160 Because if you read the mainstream media, there's just this over, you know, it's the Great Depression.
00:40:43.960 They're leading this narrative that's just so horrifically wrong.
00:40:46.600 But I think the general public think the stock market is just a casino.
00:40:49.660 Yeah, that's true.
00:40:50.520 A casino.
00:40:51.300 I don't think they feel it relates to their price.
00:40:53.200 And most of it doesn't.
00:40:54.180 Most of it, you know, an equity market is so you have lower cost of capital equity to build businesses and reinvest.
00:41:01.060 But the stock market is past that.
00:41:03.140 These stocks trade.
00:41:04.540 It's a casino mentality.
00:41:06.220 Whether it's Tesla at $800 billion or the Mag 7, you know, these AI companies that trade.
00:41:13.800 And so the first time you hit a speed bump, they flayed.
00:41:16.980 I think most people think it's a casino.
00:41:18.340 So it's not a question that – because I think most people just don't pay attention to it because it doesn't impact their daily lives.
00:41:24.080 Mark Mitchell, one last time before you bounce.
00:41:26.520 I got the perfect goal for this.
00:41:27.520 Go ahead.
00:41:28.260 Yeah, go ahead.
00:41:29.520 No, I mean, well, first off, we know the S&P is driven by like seven or eight stocks.
00:41:33.820 It's not a real accurate measure.
00:41:36.080 And I think the problem is is that Americans don't trust the government, and they certainly don't trust the government to measure things.
00:41:41.820 The Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics admitted that it previously overestimated the number of new jobs created in the past year,
00:41:47.280 which is more likely that it was an honest mistake or that it was politically motivated.
00:41:51.420 Only 34 percent say honest mistake.
00:41:53.660 Fifty-three percent say politically motivated.
00:41:55.760 So I think the issue is they don't really trust anything out of the media or the government.
00:42:00.580 Yeah.
00:42:01.680 Unbelievable.
00:42:02.420 Mark Mitchell, where do people go to get all this brain analysis on this whole thing's been a sigh up,
00:42:07.220 and you've got the numbers to back it up.
00:42:08.620 Where do they go?
00:42:10.340 Yeah, Twitter, Rasmussen underscore poll.

00:43:20.040 Back in a moment.
00:43:21.400 The April 15th tax deadline is coming, and it's coming fast.
00:43:26.780 Do you have unfiled tax returns?
00:43:28.440 Can't pay the IRS?
00:43:29.760 The IRS is more than aggressive and the more aggressive than ever.
00:43:33.740 And the longer you wait, the worse it gets.
00:43:36.160 Wage garnishments, bank levies, even property seizures are all on the table.

00:45:00.800 Go to tnusa.com slash Bannon.
00:45:03.720 It reflects what Zannie was saying and says that all of this produces huge risks.
00:45:11.700 We expect a policy-induced slowdown, including a probability of a recession.
00:45:17.380 The Fed is going to be less able to handle this.
00:45:21.160 And so there are risks of stagflation, the combination of slow growth and inflation.
00:45:27.120 U.S. corporates are under threat.
00:45:29.680 There's exceptional risk to U.S. assets.
00:45:31.980 Would you agree with that?
00:45:35.640 By and large, I agree with that.
00:45:37.220 I don't think it covers what's going on.
00:45:40.100 So let me just clarify.
00:45:41.860 We have a problem with the debt.
00:45:44.000 We have a problem with internal order.
00:45:46.240 Democracy is where we know it.
00:45:48.060 The system.
00:45:49.080 We have a problem of a geopolitical order.
00:45:51.980 Rising power, challenging an existing power in that global environment.
00:45:56.320 These things exist as the backdrop of this set of circumstances.
00:45:59.980 Now, there's been volatility.
00:46:03.380 There's been, yes, in my opinion.
00:46:05.680 I guess what I'm trying to get at is you seem to be reluctant to comment directly.
00:46:13.280 No, I'll comment directly.
00:46:14.400 What are the effects of the Trump administration's policies in the last hundred days economically?
00:46:19.880 The effects of those policies economically is to bring to the surface issues about the polarity that exists.
00:46:30.120 And at the same time, it's doing it in a volatile way that is causing trouble in terms of the volatility of that.
00:46:39.900 So it is dealing with problems.
00:46:42.820 And at the same time, it is the way it is dealing with problems could be done more smoothly, more cooperatively to produce a less volatile result.
00:46:53.120 Zani, let me ask you, you said we're still, let me ask you about something you know a lot about, because we are right now, the deadlock, the most important deadlock is a U.S.-China deadlock, where in order to get the world economy to a more stable place,
00:47:08.400 and you wrote this in your post about a beautiful rebalancing between the U.S. and China, you need the two sides to start talking.
00:47:16.980 The U.S. says they were waiting for China to call.
00:47:20.740 The Chinese say the U.S. started this.
00:47:23.300 You put these tariffs on.
00:47:25.040 First, the U.S. has to reduce the tariffs.
00:47:28.460 Then we're willing to talk.
00:47:30.840 How is this going to resolve itself?
00:47:32.720 My sense is the Chinese are holding pretty firm.
00:47:35.920 The United States has too much debt.
00:47:37.540 It cannot add to the debt, the way it is operating.
00:47:41.460 It is the world's biggest consumer, largely financed by government debt in the way that it's operating.
00:47:48.020 China is the biggest producer.
00:47:49.920 They produce a lot of goods, more than the United States, Japan, and Germany combined, in manufactured goods, and they put it out, and they save too much, and they buy the dollars.
00:48:01.980 We cannot continue this debt-money problem.
00:48:04.900 We're at the end of a debt-money world order.
00:48:08.420 So how are we going to get the negotiation?
00:48:11.060 It is only through cooperation, calmness, and analytical work in which we recognize that these imbalances are unsustainable.
00:48:24.440 They're not just financially unsustainable.
00:48:26.620 In a world that is near war, that there could be, there cannot be mutual dependencies.
00:48:33.980 And so how that is done together is the most important thing.
00:48:37.560 Okay.
00:48:37.820 Let me, Danny, ask you about another thing that I...
00:48:40.920 Womp, womp.
00:48:43.020 Freed Zakhar got a big, smelly, you-know-what, right on his head.
00:48:47.580 Trying to do that little, you know, that little maneuver he does get...
00:48:50.540 Okay.
00:48:51.500 Ray Dalio, largest hedge fund in the world, made a ton of money in China.
00:48:58.280 McCormick of Pennsylvania was his deputy, was his right-hand man.
00:49:03.760 I've got a lot of problems with Ray Dalio, and Ray Dalio got a lot of problems with Steve Bannon in the war room.
00:49:08.820 However, ladies and gentlemen, that is the gospel of the war room right there.
00:49:14.180 Said by supposedly the smartest, or at least regardless if he's smartest or not, he's running the biggest hedge fund in the world and managing more money than anybody that prior...
00:49:22.540 Except for Larry Fink, who's not really a hedge fund guy.
00:49:25.420 He's more of a, what, asset manager.
00:49:29.240 That's the gospel according to the war room.
00:49:31.540 Zandi from Economist, she's given the big Trump and tariffs and all, everything on the surface.
00:49:35.760 And Freed pivots back, and the guy goes, hey, full stop, it's all about debt.
00:49:41.860 And it's about, this is consumer finance by government spending, and it's got to stop.
00:49:47.520 There is, the path we are on is unsustainable.
00:49:52.060 When they talk about Trump and everything he's done, show me what your plan is.
00:49:56.180 Because the plan's unsustainable.
00:49:57.280 And that little weasel, Mike Johnson, skipping over to see Besson today.
00:50:00.940 I hope Scott Besson, knowing like I know Scott, hits him upside the head and says, hey, what you have here is unworkable.
00:50:08.700 Somebody's got to step to the table.
00:50:10.660 We have to cut government spending.
00:50:14.440 And to cut government spending, you're going to have to cut over the Pentagon.
00:50:18.240 We've got to start acting like adults.
00:50:20.100 Dave Bratt, no, you've got to bump.
00:50:21.640 The floor is yours, sir.
00:50:22.720 No, I think you just nailed it.
00:50:25.060 Dalio, I've been a little skeptical.
00:50:26.620 He's been a little fuzzy.
00:50:27.520 But that's the strongest statement I've seen from him.
00:50:30.520 And not only the debt and the imbalances, but the debt and the imbalances tied to geopolitics, China, a threat coming at us, our dependence on them.
00:50:40.440 Everybody's starting to follow that in all the news.
00:50:42.400 I wish he'd go to the next point, the ditch Trump's been left in, right?
00:50:45.800 It's a bunch of twos, 2% GDP growth for the next 30 years.
00:50:50.320 That's the ditch, right?
00:50:51.580 That's CBO.
00:50:52.740 That's World Bank.
00:50:53.840 That's the Federal Reserve.
00:50:54.800 We're going to grow at 2% for the next 30 years.
00:50:57.740 That's on paper.
00:50:59.140 What's correlated with that?
00:51:00.700 Wage growth for the American people at 2% for the next 30 years.
00:51:04.920 So you barely keep up.
00:51:05.600 Why is that the case?
00:51:07.140 Because of productivity at 2% for the next 30 years.
00:51:11.080 And our friend Bob Gordon, the top guy in the world.
00:51:14.240 This is not war room statistics.
00:51:16.020 The killer twos.
00:51:16.480 These are the two, two, and two.
00:51:18.520 And if Dalio hits that and shows the ditch we're in, but that was a strong performance on his part.
00:51:25.620 And that goes to the PSYOP.
00:51:27.960 You heard Fareed weigh in there.
00:51:30.240 And when he pivoted on the language, Dalio didn't give him what he wanted.
00:51:33.160 And then he said his tone almost reflected what you should certainly side with China's narrative and talking points, right?
00:51:41.060 And the pitch was going toward China.
00:51:44.000 And I'm going, wow.
00:51:45.000 And then, of course, no reportage on China's weaknesses.
00:51:48.860 If you really want to finish the story, where's the reporting?
00:51:52.440 China's got 300% debt to GDP also.
00:51:55.680 Yeah.
00:51:56.180 And so, come on, guys.
00:51:58.280 The PSYOP is loud and clear.
00:52:00.440 You're back with us tomorrow morning.
00:52:01.960 Tomorrow all day.
00:52:02.480 You bet.

00:52:08.740 Tomorrow we've got Dave Brett in the morning, Eric Bolling.
00:52:11.380 Nice.
00:52:11.800 In the afternoon, kind of the invasion of the Visigoths.
00:52:14.460 That's good.
00:52:15.580 Dave Brett, what's your social media, Dave?
00:52:17.400 Yeah, I did post, finally, from Good Friday, Brett Economics on Getter and on X.

00:52:28.540 We're going to go to Rome.
00:52:30.100 We're also going to go, there was an outage of energy, I guess, electricity through Portugal and Spain.

00:52:56.180 Start working on this tax deal.
00:52:57.760 All next in the war room.
00:53:00.220 There's a lot of talk about government debt, but after four years of inflation, the real crisis is personal debt.

00:54:23.420 Hey, War Room.
00:54:24.380 Hope you're all doing well.
00:54:25.500 My name is Trevor Comstock.
00:54:26.880 I'm one of the co-creators of Sacred Human, and I wanted to share just a little bit more about our brand for those who may not know of us yet.
00:54:33.380 But about six months ago, we decided to launch Sacred Human with really the simple mission being to provide American-made natural supplements without all the artificial nonsense.
00:54:43.660 So, unfortunately, as many of you know, a lot of these big corporate supplements will include things like preservatives, artificial ingredients, and other additives that really aren't benefiting your health.
00:54:54.660 So, that's why we created Sacred Human, really trying to fill this gap of quality supplements, and, of course, the beef liver being our flagship product.
00:55:02.740 For those who don't know, beef liver is loaded with highly bioavailable ingredients such as vitamin A, B12, zinc, CoQ10, etc.
00:55:12.380 And because it is 100% grass-fed and natural, your body is able to absorb these nutrients far better than taking any other synthetic multivitamin or any other synthetic vitamin in general.
00:55:25.580 So, we have some other amazing products, but if you'd like to check us out, you can go to sacredhumanhealth.com, and cheers to your health.
