Bannon's War Room - Episode 4453： Creating Legislation To Stop The Energy Emergency

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

00:00:06.000 Pray for our enemies,

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

00:00:11.000 You're just not going to get a free shot

00:00:13.000 at all these networks lying about the people.

00:00:16.000 The people have had a belly full of it.

00:00:18.000 I know you don't like hearing that.

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

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

00:00:22.000 It's going to happen.

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

00:00:26.000 MAGA Media.

00:00:28.000 I wish in my soul,

00:00:30.000 I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

00:00:33.000 Ask yourself,

00:00:34.000 what is my task and what is my purpose?

00:00:37.000 If that answer is to save my country,

00:00:40.000 this country will be saved.

00:00:43.000 War Room.

00:00:44.000 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

00:00:51.000 Oh, it's Thursday, 1 May, You're Overlord 2025.

00:00:55.000 Folks, this is one of those ones you thought,

00:00:57.000 hey, after the run-up to the 100 days,

00:01:02.000 we're going to take not a break,

00:01:03.000 but you're going to kind of regroup the morning.

00:01:05.000 You got the next 100 days.

00:01:06.000 You got all the legislation.

00:01:07.000 We've got so much stuff to go through.

00:01:09.000 I got Walsh here.

00:01:10.000 I got Walsh here.

00:01:11.000 I got Charles Benet here, or Benoit here.

00:01:16.000 We're going to go through deindustrialization

00:01:18.000 and talk about the president's executive orders,

00:01:20.000 how we're bringing the economy back.

00:01:22.000 We're taking on energy and manufacturing,

00:01:24.000 and then kind of a little mini bombshell today,

00:01:27.000 and we're trying to get to the bottom of it,

00:01:28.000 but it looks like potentially a huge change

00:01:31.000 over the National Security Council

00:01:33.000 in the middle of President Trump trying to negotiate

00:01:37.000 a Russian rapprochement and calm down these wars.

00:01:40.000 As you can tell, one thing has been quite,

00:01:45.000 I don't want to say disturbing,

00:01:47.000 but we've got our stink eye on it,

00:01:50.000 is this continual bombing over in these two carrier battle groups

00:01:55.000 and what are they doing off southern Saudi Arabia

00:01:58.000 and the Houthis,

00:01:59.000 and now making analogies, President Trump

00:02:02.000 and the great Pete Hegseth,

00:02:03.000 about the Houthis are proxies for the Persians,

00:02:06.000 the Persians, which they are,

00:02:07.000 so it's the Persians attacking.

00:02:10.000 Folks, no way we can get in a shooting war

00:02:12.000 in Persia right now.

00:02:13.000 Too much on the plate.

00:02:15.000 And we've got too many other alternatives.

00:02:17.000 We've got to go, let's go medieval,

00:02:19.000 let's go to medieval on the economic sanctions.

00:02:21.000 Let's go to economic war.

00:02:22.000 Let's be smart like the Chinese Communist Party is.

00:02:25.000 What we need now is prayer.

00:02:27.000 Mike Lindell, where are you?

00:02:28.000 You're at a prayer breakfast, not at the White House. 0.72

00:02:30.000 Where in the hell are you, sir?

00:02:32.000 Well, actually, we're at the White House. 0.81

00:02:34.000 I'm holding up a little bit.

00:02:35.000 I got a meeting with the President this afternoon,

00:02:38.000 and here I got invited to the prayer

00:02:40.000 that we're gonna do out here.

00:02:41.000 I guess the President's coming out in a bit,

00:02:43.000 and it's very exciting.

00:02:46.000 You know, Steve, I spoke from the Rose Garden

00:02:48.000 about four years ago,

00:02:50.000 and I said a nation had turned its back on God,

00:02:53.000 and we need to get back in the word,

00:02:54.000 back in our Bibles.

00:02:55.000 And, of course, the media blew up,

00:02:57.000 but I said we prayed for grace for such a time as this.

00:03:00.000 And we got five years, you guys, we got this was graced,

00:03:04.000 and we're gonna get to a great place.

00:03:06.000 God uses all things for good.

00:03:07.000 And, Steve, it's very, very excited here today.

00:03:11.000 Fantastic.

00:03:12.000 So tell me what the President's gonna come out.

00:03:14.000 We're gonna be picking that up live.

00:03:16.000 What are you guys gonna do,

00:03:17.000 and the President's gonna come out and join you?

00:03:19.000 Well, they, yeah, I'm not sure what we're all doing yet.

00:03:23.000 They're gonna, we're all meeting in a little bit here,

00:03:25.000 and...

00:03:26.000 National Day of Prayer.

00:03:27.000 It's the National Day of Prayer.

00:03:28.000 I know it's the National Day of Prayer.

00:03:29.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:03:30.000 But they, yeah, I don't know what we're all doing,

00:03:32.000 but we had, you know, we have the National Day of Prayer,

00:03:34.000 and they, I don't know, but for participating,

00:03:38.000 there's not too many people,

00:03:39.000 there's probably maybe 40, 40, most more pastors,

00:03:42.000 and I was invited, and I'm very honored to be invited,

00:03:45.000 and so it's gonna be very exciting.

00:03:49.000 But I wanted to get on here, too, and tell everybody,

00:03:52.000 I missed the last couple days, Steve.

00:03:54.000 I wanted to tell everyone about our sheets before,

00:03:57.000 because I'm not gonna be able to get on for the hit,

00:04:00.000 you guys, on these sheets, and running out.

00:04:03.000 So I want to get on here and tell you all,

00:04:50.000 are not in vain, Steve, that this could be,

00:04:53.000 we're living in the greatest times to be alive, everybody.

00:04:56.000 We're all part of this great victory that our country's having

00:04:59.000 and it's going to have in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

00:05:03.000 Mike, that's fantastic.

00:05:06.000 Mike, that's one of the most beautiful shots I've seen of the wife. 0.99

00:05:09.000 Is this the angle of the camera?

00:05:10.000 Who's your, is that, is your wife there? 0.95

00:05:12.000 Is she your ring man?

00:05:13.000 She's the one feeding you the lines? 0.97

00:05:14.000 I told her the camera, Steve.

00:05:16.000 If it's shaking, it's me.

00:05:18.000 No, it's fantastic.

00:05:20.000 Mike, hold it, Mike.

00:05:21.000 Why don't you take the camera and let's get her on 1.00

00:05:24.000 and have a few words.

00:05:25.000 No!

00:05:26.000 No, no, no, no, no.

00:05:27.000 No, yeah, no.

00:05:29.000 There she is.

00:05:30.000 There she is.

00:05:31.000 There she is.

00:05:32.000 Oh, wow.

00:05:33.000 That's fantastic.

00:05:34.000 That's fantastic.

00:05:35.000 Great.

00:05:36.000 The president called us out at the rally, everybody, the other night,

00:05:39.000 and he says, look, they're still holding hands

00:05:42.000 in the middle of his speech.

00:05:43.000 He's got us holding hands.

00:05:45.000 No, no, no.

00:05:46.000 It was even better.

00:05:47.000 We have that cut.

00:05:48.000 We were going to use it the next time you came a regular.

00:05:50.000 It was not just they're holding hands.

00:05:52.000 It's like how many couples, how many couples that, you know, are,

00:05:56.000 let's say, beyond teenage years are still holding hands.

00:05:59.000 He had a whole editorial comment on it.

00:06:02.000 It was great.

00:06:03.000 Well, we could maybe do that this afternoon.

00:06:06.000 We could maybe do that this afternoon.

00:06:08.000 I'll be back this afternoon after I meet with the president.

00:06:11.000 Okay.

00:06:12.000 Mike, fantastic.

00:06:14.000 You guys are great.

00:06:16.000 Glad to have you on here.

00:06:17.000 Keep us updated.

00:06:18.000 I tell you, Mike, keep in touch with the producer and camera.

00:06:21.000 If the president does come out, we want to cut to you guys,

00:06:23.000 whatever you're doing live.

00:06:24.000 So make sure you keep us in the loop.

00:06:26.000 Okay.

00:06:27.000 That sounds good.

00:06:28.000 Thanks, Steve.

00:06:29.000 Thanks for whatever we're in posse.

00:06:30.000 Thanks.

00:06:31.000 Thank you.

00:06:32.000 MyPillow.com, promo code WAR,

00:06:34.000 most powerful promo code in the world.

00:06:36.000 I'm just repeating what Mike Lindell tells me.

00:06:39.000 So now that we know what the problem is, Charles,

00:06:44.000 now that we know what the problem is, what is Trump, this piece,

00:06:48.000 and Grace and Mo, let's get it out there.

00:06:51.000 This is not a, in the American conservative and the great Kurt

00:06:55.000 Mills, we love Kurt, doing an amazing job over there.

00:06:58.000 This is a piece you want to get your morning coffee and go through.

00:07:04.000 It's quite detailed.

00:07:05.000 It's not a pundits piece.

00:07:07.000 It's really a detailed analytical piece.

00:07:09.000 Charles, what is the president of the United States,

00:07:12.000 Donald John Trump, actually doing to re-industrialize America, sir?

00:07:18.000 So what I go over in my article is, it's called the Section 232 actions.

00:07:23.000 That's the president's national security power to use tariffs to re-industrialize. 0.52

00:07:29.000 And they're not getting any media attention, but they're really exciting.

00:07:32.000 They even have boring names, so it is kind of stacked against them.

00:07:35.000 But he's done now, we have the three that are in effect.

00:07:41.000 So that's steel, aluminum, and automotive.

00:07:45.000 But he's now launched six more 232 investigations after that.

00:07:49.000 Now, one of them is like wood.

00:07:52.000 And it sounds, okay, so we're just talking lumber or timber, right?

00:07:55.000 No, no, it's everything downstream.

00:07:58.000 This is a point that nobody's picking up on.

00:08:00.000 So it's everything from timber to kitchen cabinets.

00:08:03.000 And so we're through the pharmaceuticals is another one, you know, copper.

00:08:08.000 So we're, this is massive amounts of the industrial base that via the Section 232 process,

00:08:15.000 the administration can come up with detailed plans for bringing those jobs back.

00:08:19.000 It probably takes, give them about half a year to six to nine months is the average time to finish one of these.

00:08:24.000 And, but they're, they're sort of the first three that are in effect now.

00:08:29.000 He actually launched those in his first term.

00:08:31.000 These are proven and they'll bring about a lot of success for re-industrialization.

00:08:36.000 What are the, what are the other couple that he's named?

00:08:39.000 Because, and we had Christopher Leonard on when we were in Kansas City, who wrote Lords of Easy Money.

00:08:46.000 He's now doing a massive new book.

00:08:48.000 It's going to take years to do on, on the, the, the military industrial complex.

00:08:53.000 But he makes the argument, the defense industrial base is basically kaput.

00:08:58.000 We've essentially de-industrialized away from it and exposed ourselves to really the Chinese Communist Party.

00:09:05.000 That's become an industrial superpower.

00:09:07.000 And we're in one of the most dangerous zones we could ever be in.

00:09:10.000 President Trump is using this and part of it's for the defense industrial base.

00:09:15.000 What else has he identified besides wood, automotive, steel, and, and aluminum?

00:09:21.000 So chips is a big one.

00:09:22.000 That's one that was misinterpreted and the president had to post about it.

00:09:26.000 Uh, and the media was completely dishonest.

00:09:28.000 They're like, Oh, everyone, Apple got a giant exemption.

00:09:30.000 No, no, that's not what happened.

00:09:32.000 Uh, I just, uh, two, three, two was launched.

00:09:34.000 Uh, section two, three, two investigation has been launched and is now underway on chips, but not just chips, also the derivative articles.

00:09:41.000 So, uh, everything with a chip in it, this is a massive, massive deal.

00:09:45.000 And, um, and so that, and this is like, it has to be done.

00:09:50.000 Uh, I, I'm very excited about where it's going to go.

00:09:53.000 Uh, he's done.

00:09:54.000 Uh, now we, we had the automotive one.

00:09:56.000 There's also one on, uh, medium to heavy trucks.

00:09:58.000 That's the latest.

00:09:59.000 Um, and, uh, the, the pharmaceutical one is not just, not just drugs, but also all the active ingredients where we're totally dependent on China, very dangerously slow.

00:10:08.000 So it's almost crazy that we, you know, no, you know, President Biden ignored this.

00:10:12.000 I mean, maybe that's not crazy, but, uh, these are long overdue and, um, you know, we, we've got a massive section of the economy there.

00:10:20.000 Not agriculture, but some other things happening, but for manufacturing, the actions that are there now cover a lot.

00:10:27.000 I think you're going to see a lot more added to steel.

00:10:29.000 So look for, you know, maybe appliances.

00:10:31.000 You know, maybe appliances, I believe, uh, some of the other industries that mentioned bicycling flatware, these don't sound like, Oh, national security.

00:10:38.000 Now, if you go back and read the 2018 steel, uh, report from the department of commerce, Wilbur Ross's department of commerce, that actually said, uh, that, look, our defense industrial base.

00:10:49.000 It needs steel, obviously, duh, but you cannot rely.

00:10:54.000 The steel mills cannot rely on just defense procurement.

00:10:57.000 Defense procurement is very irregular.

00:10:59.000 They need the commercial market.

00:11:00.000 And that's what all these new actions are doing.

00:11:04.000 Charles, hang on one second.

00:11:06.000 Do you dovetail?

00:11:07.000 Okay.

00:11:08.000 We'd see what he's doing on to re bring back and establish an industrial manufacturing base here.

00:11:14.000 Does his plan on energy dovetail in with that?

00:11:17.000 Yeah, completely, completely.

00:11:18.000 You can't manufacture anything competitively without reasonable and efficient labor inputs to energy cost.

00:11:26.000 Electricity is now a huge component of steel making, aluminum smelting, of course, cement making, petrochemical facilities, chemical facilities, pulp and paper, all the above, not just AI and server centers.

00:11:39.000 All of that stuff, traditional core economy stuff is all electricity.

00:11:44.000 Before we get to the new capacity we need for AI.

00:11:47.000 Oh, yeah.

00:11:48.000 You're saying basically to bring a manufacturing base back here.

00:11:53.000 His plan right now dovetails on the energy side perfectly with that.

00:11:57.000 So you see a coherent strategy.

00:11:59.000 A foundation has to be abundant and low cost electrification.

00:12:03.000 He's way headed there.

00:12:04.000 Yes.

00:12:05.000 And available, not just abundant, but available 24-7.

00:12:07.000 Abundant means full time.

00:12:08.000 Full time.

00:12:09.000 Two dimensions.

00:12:10.000 Right.

00:12:11.000 High rating, but all the time.

00:12:12.000 And how much excess capacity over 100, like 120% capacity?

00:12:16.000 Or if you take a society at full bore, how much above that do you need to make sure you've got enough ceiling?

00:12:24.000 Well, this is where the narrative has changed.

00:12:26.000 It used to be 25% was the target.

00:12:28.000 That target in narrative by utilities has now moved down to 15%.

00:12:32.000 We are now today, in actual fact, the way it should be calculated, the way it was calculated 10 years ago.

00:12:37.000 We're down to about 13% now.

00:12:39.000 Wow.

00:12:40.000 And that is in the danger zone of creating for every percentage point below 15% excess capacity or reserve margin.

00:12:47.000 Yeah.

00:12:48.000 You have a seven times factor of more exposure to brownouts, loss of service events, and blackouts.

00:12:54.000 Below 15% is a huge threshold.

00:12:56.000 Wow.

00:12:57.000 As the media loves to say, a tipping point.

00:12:59.000 A tipping point.

00:13:00.000 A tipping point.

00:13:01.000 15% headroom minimum you need.

00:13:02.000 We're below that now by 2%.

00:13:04.000 Unbelievable.

00:13:05.000 It's a huge problem.

00:13:06.000 Okay, hang on.

00:13:07.000 Both of you guys. 0.91

00:13:08.000 It shows you the immature, running around with their hair on fire, just lies of these airheads in the mainstream media.

00:13:17.000 They won't do the work.

00:13:19.000 This is actually a very well thought through.

00:13:21.000 And this is why four years, what we learned in the first term with President Trump's tax cuts, industrial policy become imperfected.

00:13:30.000 That's why you have the convergence.

00:13:32.000 These are not small things.

00:13:34.000 This is not Clinton putting kids in school uniforms in his two terms.

00:13:39.000 This is a massive thing.

00:13:42.000 When Charles says, hey, I give the guy a 10 out of 10.

00:13:45.000 When you talk about you haven't had a, actually a trade, someone understands trade as a president, even the beloved Ronald Reagan, you know, in 100 years or more than 100 years.

00:13:54.000 We're going to take a short commercial break.

00:16:12.000 So this morning, just to take you a little bit behind the curtain, I was headed into my location to do the program, and I got a text from a very nice source who said, you want to call me.

00:16:22.000 And it turns out that three different people, the original source and two others, have confirmed that the plan now by the White House is to remove the National Security Advisor, Mike Waltz, who was on Fox News this morning, just not that long ago.

00:16:36.000 And his deputy, Alex Wong, and much of the member current staff team at the National Security Council because of unhappiness throughout the national security establishment of how they're doing.

00:16:47.000 The West Wing's unhappy, the State Department, the Treasury, unhappiness.

00:16:50.000 And, of course, this was around before SignalGate.

00:16:53.000 It was widely reported that SignalGate ironically may have saved Waltz's job because the president didn't want to be seen as if he were giving in to Jeffrey Goldberg, his new best friend.

00:17:02.000 But there's lots of levels of unhappiness.

00:17:04.000 And it's less about SignalGate than it is about, as I understand it from my sources, a general belief that it's not being run efficiently in an organized way.

00:17:13.000 It may happen as early as today.

00:17:16.000 It may not happen ever because it's Donald Trump, but the plan is for it to happen soon, maybe this weekend.

00:17:23.000 One sort of says this weekend.

00:17:24.000 We'll see.

00:17:25.000 But the original choice to replace the National Security Advisor for many in the government was a guy named Christopher Landau.

00:17:33.000 He's currently the deputy secretary of state.

00:17:35.000 He is said to be doing such a good job and is so valuable to Marco Rubio that Rubio says, no, you can't have my guy.

00:17:41.000 So he's got job lock because he's doing well.

00:17:43.000 Some people have experienced that.

00:17:44.000 You know what that's like.

00:17:45.000 So Landau, I'm told, will not get the job, even though he's very highly thought of because he's so highly thought of.

00:17:50.000 A candidate that's being discussed who has support at very high levels within the administration is Steve Witkoff, the president's friend and special envoy to everything.

00:17:59.000 Witkoff has a lot of senior level support, but he also has enemies.

00:18:02.000 And two of my three sources pointed me to this, a New York Post story that ran yesterday.

00:18:07.000 Very strange story popped up in the New York Post in the middle of the day yesterday.

00:18:11.000 Savaging Steve Witkoff with anonymous quotes saying he's over his head and way over his head.

00:18:17.000 He shouldn't be leading the Russian negotiations that other countries are confused by him, that people in the government think he's amateurish.

00:18:23.000 The story was filled with with savage blind quotes.

00:18:26.000 Do we have the money quote, Paul?

00:18:28.000 I don't know if we do or not.

00:18:29.000 There we go. 1.00

00:18:30.000 Nice guy, but a dumbling, effing idiot. 1.00

00:18:32.000 This person said of Witkoff, he should not be doing this alone, meaning negotiating these deals. 1.00

00:18:37.000 Now, will his critics be more happy with him as head of the NSC?

00:18:40.000 Not not according to my sources.

00:18:42.000 And they believe that that some people believe that the reason the Post story popped up was because word was beginning to spread that Waltz was out and that Witkoff was his likely replacement.

00:18:52.000 And what the speculation is, this New York Post story is aiming at stopping that.

00:18:57.000 OK, Halpern right there.

00:18:59.000 That is called inside baseball.

00:19:01.000 And that is also a guy like Halpern, because a lot of people were talking.

00:19:06.000 What the hell is this New York Post story, which is literally a savage, savage attack on Witkoff doing?

00:19:13.000 And, you know, and Witkoff's in the in the middle of these the Russian negotiations and Besson's going to sign the the the the quote unquote, you know, minerals deal or economic deal with with Zelensky's people to kind of lay a predicate over there.

00:19:28.000 Jack Pasoba comes in. So, Jack, the no scalps policy, I guess we I guess it was good for 100 days.

00:19:36.000 Now we're now we're in plan B. Maybe it's scalps.

00:19:38.000 I'm a huge believer. And but Halpern just nailed it right there.

00:19:42.000 I think it's consistent issues with how things are just being managed and organized, not just not just the the center of gravity being quite neocon and away from the core of America first policies.

00:19:58.000 I think this also gets down just to the fact we're in it now.

00:20:02.000 I mean, we're negotiating these massive deals, a Russian rapprochement.

00:20:06.000 This is bigger than what Kissinger and Nixon did with China back in the early 70s.

00:20:11.000 You're trying to stop two amazingly bloody conflicts in Ukraine and in Gaza or in Israel, I would actually say.

00:20:19.000 And then you're trying to, you know, voices are trying to say, hey, we can't go on a bombing campaign, you know, in Persia.

00:20:27.000 At the same time, you keep in the Suez Canal open with a couple of carrier battle groups.

00:20:31.000 And oh, by the way, you may the flare may go up in Taiwan.

00:20:35.000 It's an organization.

00:20:36.000 At least it has been the continual complaints of an organization not on top of things.

00:20:41.000 People not briefed, not the coordinating factor between state treasury.

00:20:46.000 But and obviously his treasury stepped into what we call economic warfare there in the front lines.

00:20:52.000 Jack Posobiec, you've spent a lot of time on this, plus over on the on the White House campus.

00:20:59.000 Your thoughts.

00:21:01.000 Well, Steve, thanks so much for having me on.

00:21:03.000 And yes, it was at the White House yesterday for the new media briefing with Caroline Levitt.

00:21:08.000 I asked a question about the domestic issues as the question regarding domestic left wing violence and the rise in support for these unhuman groups like MS-13, Trendy Aragua, actions like the Ouija Magione. 0.59

00:21:21.000 And others, you know, poked my head around a few times while I was there and had a few chats.

00:21:28.000 But then I then I came back and look, Steve, you and I were here on this program.

00:21:31.000 Not what?

00:21:32.000 Not not not one week ago.

00:21:33.000 And we were talking about how there were forces within the administration and external pressure that was being put on President Trump driving these strikes on Iran.

00:21:43.000 This idea that in the midst of negotiations where we had on Easter weekend, remember, Wyckoff was over there in Rome meeting with the delegation from the Iranian team, their diplomats and their negotiators to try to figure out how to hammer out some kind of deal with the Iranians.

00:22:00.000 But people have this and I read that New York Post written.

00:22:03.000 It was completely clueless.

00:22:04.000 There's attack on Steve Wyckoff written by this guy, Douglas Murray, who clowned himself and be clowned himself on Joe Rogan recently.

00:22:12.000 And, you know, it was this idea that they don't see the big picture, Steve.

00:22:17.000 They don't see the Trump's grand strategy.

00:22:20.000 They don't understand it.

00:22:21.000 They're not interested in it.

00:22:23.000 They're interested in pushing this neoconservative, neoliberal agenda that we've seen for the last 30 years going back to the Bush administration, by the way, the first Bush administration, and then really reflected in the second, where the United States becomes the, you know, the guarantor of world security, the guarantor of world markets.

00:22:43.000 China gets put into those world markets.

00:22:45.000 Now you've got the U.S. Navy that's conducting it as we've been discussing the show all these times.

00:22:50.000 But hang on.

00:22:51.000 But hang on.

00:22:52.000 I understand that.

00:22:53.000 And there's a neocon hit to them.

00:22:54.000 But that's not a grand strategy or even chemistry.

00:22:57.000 The National Security Council, people should know, is mainly housed in the EOB.

00:23:01.000 There are the most prominent people, you know, now down by where the actual situation room, et cetera, the senior guys.

00:23:09.000 It's a 250 person.

00:23:11.000 First of all, it's way too big, but it's 250 people or 250 billets, 290 billets.

00:23:15.000 Two thirds of those people are seconded from the various operations.

00:23:20.000 Its primary purpose is a coordinating effort, particularly in these complex topics.

00:23:25.000 Forget that they're not part of the grand strategy because obviously you're not, and you're 100% correct.

00:23:29.000 But you can't have two strategies running at the same time that are in conflict with each other.

00:23:35.000 You can't have one guy running out there saying negotiation and another team working up missile strikes.

00:23:42.000 Yes.

00:23:43.000 I'm not so sure that they're heavyweights enough to be considered strategy.

00:23:48.000 My point is I think the reason this is expedited, because there has been a no scalps policy, right, that you're not going to give the media any wins here, is because a basic level of competence that you're supposed to coordinate with all these complex things going on.

00:24:04.000 Everything from the Venezuela situation, to what's happening in the Caribbean, to the Panama Canal, to Greenland, to the Three Island Strategy, to the Middle East, to Ukraine, to what's going on with the economic war.

00:24:16.000 We are fighting like five-dimensional warfare in a most sophisticated, quite frankly, third world war that if any false step is made, could spin out of control.

00:24:26.000 And as a coordinating factor, they're taking incoming from state, from DOJ, from Treasury, and from others that the job's just not getting done.

00:24:37.000 Do you buy that argument, or are you still that, hey, they're just so neocon that they're just not in the room?

00:24:44.000 What I'm saying is those aren't necessarily separate arguments.

00:24:48.000 I would put them together, because when you've got one group of people that's on your team that, and by the way, I'm not saying that this wasn't the case.

00:24:56.000 I'm just saying in general that you need to have, look, President Trump gets the administration that he wants.

00:25:03.000 He's the commander in chief. He's the one who runs the play. He's the one who gets to make the assignments.

00:25:08.000 He's the one who decides this is the strategy that goes forward. That's the strategy that goes forward.

00:25:12.000 And so with Besant getting the deal signed yesterday, having that inked, and he's going to be doing press, he's already doing press today.

00:25:21.000 That was the deal when I was over there in Ukraine with him that Zelensky originally reneged on.

00:25:25.000 Then he comes to the White House. He reneges on that. That signals that the path forward isn't necessarily going to be this kinetic, driven, you know, having the B-2 bombers down at Diego Garcia and flying them up to Natanz and Tehran and taking out all these underground bunkers with the bunker-busting bombs like the New York Times wanted.

00:25:44.000 And as other external world leaders, shall we say, we're talking about, no, it's that we are going to have the negotiations.

00:25:51.000 We're going to have the strategy. Actually, Steve, what this shows is the grand strategy is working.

00:25:57.000 That's what's coming down, and the people who have the vision of the grand strategy are the ones that are currently in the lead.

00:26:04.700 What, how much of this is going to be the biggest, I guess, I don't want to say controversy, but if you have to go through everything that's working, everything that people are working on, the biggest gap in belief is the situation in Persia.

00:26:22.160 That the constant drumbeat of there's got to be a military intervention solution now, that instead of going up an escalatory ladder in economic warfare, you just jump right into let's do bombing runs and have the 101st and 82nd Airborne ready to go in.

00:26:39.320 And we know where Waltz comes down on that. How big, how big a part of that drove this decision to happen now?

00:26:48.000 I haven't heard any direct sources on that, so I couldn't confirm nor deny, but I do know that Tulsi Gabbard, the DNI, so Lieutenant Colonel Gabbard was out there with the intelligence estimate that said that they were not imminently about to roll out these nuclear weapons, that in fact this wasn't necessary.

00:27:06.700 And then, of course, Wyckoff was making Iran part of the leverage point, the inflection point with Russia.

00:27:14.940 So if you want to put leverage on Iran, you know who's got that leverage. 0.64

00:27:18.980 Russia does because they're the ones who built Iran's nuclear program. 0.88

00:27:22.560 And then China does because they're Iran's largest customer for their oil sales.

00:27:28.520 The economics and the military geopolitical strategy, it's all connected in the grand strategy of Trump's doctrine for the second administration.

00:27:39.620 And I think, unfortunately, there's people who are, you know, maybe watching too much other networks that don't quite get that.

00:27:48.360 Jack, can you hang on to the break?

00:31:05.480 Where do they go to get all your information?

00:31:09.140 Yeah, so for the article, it's on the American conservative.

00:31:13.020 Google Trump's first hundred days of tariffs.

00:31:15.400 That's the article.

00:31:16.480 And check out prosperousamerica.org.

00:31:18.480 That's the website for my group, Coalition for Prosperous America.

00:31:35.300 You're amazing.

00:31:36.320 Definitely will.

00:31:38.380 Jack Posobiec.

00:31:40.160 This is getting out.

00:31:40.980 Everybody's reporting at Fox.

00:31:42.300 Everybody.

00:31:43.380 The no-scalps policy lasted 100 days.

00:31:46.360 Not too shabby.

00:31:48.400 100-day policy.

00:31:48.920 But this was – but this – folks should know this was an issue way before the signal thing.

00:31:56.100 And I want to go back to the difference between America first national security policy, which is not isolationist and is not dovish, but there's definitely kind of a way you look at the world.

00:32:07.260 And you don't want to be bombing everywhere.

00:32:09.240 You don't want to be sending American troops over.

00:32:10.780 Let me give you an example, Poso.

00:32:12.480 I find this revolting.

00:32:13.940 I find this revolting for the audience.

00:32:16.260 You remember the great video collections the morning staff did and the afternoon staff yesterday on the 50th anniversary?

00:32:22.580 And we didn't get enough – spend enough time, and I will do it on Saturday's show.

00:32:26.280 The 50th anniversary of the retreat of the fall of Saigon and particularly the fact of the 58,000 American casualties, that's killed in action.

00:32:36.100 That's not the wounded.

00:32:37.700 The wounded and what it did to the country and tore it apart.

00:32:40.580 Look what the Financial Times has on its cover.

00:32:42.540 Of every day you have the 50th anniversary of all of Saigon, you've got the female branch of the Army, right? 1.00

00:32:52.440 Vietnam hails national revival.

00:32:54.380 You've got the North – you've got the North – essentially the Vietnamese, North Vietnamese Army in your face about their victory. 0.95

00:33:01.500 That's Financial Times.

00:33:02.460 I want you to embrace that. 0.99

00:33:04.220 Worse, you've got the Murdochs who, as you know, I think are some of the biggest scumbags on Earth, okay? 0.96

00:33:12.540 The reason this country is in the shape it's in is because Fox News and the Wall Street Journal tapped along as controlled opposition. 0.90

00:33:21.300 They let the radical Democrats coupled with the lords of easy money on Wall Street, the global corporatists, and the apartheid state of Silicon Valley run the deal and deindustrialize this country and make paupers out of the working class and the middle class. 0.69

00:33:36.260 And look what they have.

00:33:38.120 That's what Rupert Murdoch thinks of American valor.

00:33:41.140 On the 50th anniversary that they would copy the Financial Times of London and put the Vietnamese Army up there in all its glory. 0.96

00:33:54.660 That is – these front pages and the reason papers are more important to look at than websites is they show you their editorial.

00:34:02.620 They show you their thinking about the way they position stories and the way they write headlines.

00:34:06.380 It's a key part of narrative war.

00:34:09.100 That's telling you your sacrifice was nothing.

00:34:12.680 So when you see Fox up there and they're waving the American flag and they got guys up there and they're saying, hey, this is so great.

00:34:20.300 Let's go down to Texas and see some veterans.

00:34:22.160 We love veterans.

00:34:22.780 They don't love veterans.

00:34:23.820 You know how much they love veterans?

00:34:24.780 That is mocking 58,000 dead Americans in a jungle in Southeast Asia.

00:34:36.340 That's what that's doing. 1.00

00:34:38.260 These people are scum. 1.00

00:34:41.340 And Paul Gijo and all you big talkers and Bannon and these populists, these nationalists, you're scum. 1.00

00:34:47.880 The editors of the Wall Street Journal, you're scum for putting that up there, scum. 1.00

00:34:55.040 And you've shown people who sacrificed – people who sacrificed exactly what you think of their sacrifice. 0.99

00:35:03.720 You could have had a million different alternatives on photos of either combat that took place there, the battle that took place there, any military cemetery,

00:35:12.320 the children and grandchildren of those Vietnam vets.

00:35:18.240 This is as bad – you know what this is?

00:35:21.620 This is the equivalent of spitting on them when they came home in the 60s and 70s, driven by the radicals.

00:35:29.040 They were spitting on.

00:35:29.900 They didn't get any parades.

00:35:32.060 They didn't get any parades.

00:35:34.040 There are no parades for the Vietnam veterans.

00:35:35.860 They came back and people spit on them.

00:35:38.340 The radical left.

00:35:39.260 The people that are like the editors of the Wall Street Journal, spit on them.

00:35:43.200 You know what you just did?

00:35:44.140 You just spit on their graves with that. 1.00

00:35:47.440 You're disgusting. 1.00

00:35:48.480 You want to know why I hate you people? 1.00

00:35:50.060 And I do hate you. 0.98

00:35:51.700 It's because I'm like that. 1.00

00:35:54.540 You're revolting.

00:35:58.000 And this is why the situation of the National Security Council is so important,

00:36:02.600 because the National Security Council, back then, read the best and the brightest.

00:36:06.900 Every day, National McGeorge Bundy, this entire crowd, all these geniuses from Harvard, right?

00:36:15.360 Got us in, got us in, got us in deeper.

00:36:18.820 Did you see any of the Harvard guys over there getting shot up in those jungles?

00:36:21.560 Did you see that combat footage we put up yesterday?

00:36:24.540 Scare the living hell out of you.

00:36:26.420 Just to even be in that jungle, much less having people shoot at you.

00:36:31.380 Posobiec, your thoughts?

00:36:32.280 Well, Steve, let's just go back in time here a little bit,

00:36:36.580 because this isn't the first time that we've seen the neocons backing a communist force in Vietnam.

00:36:44.140 If you want to tell the true story about Vietnam,

00:36:47.180 why don't you pick up a little book by DuBerrier, Background to Betrayal,

00:36:52.800 The Tragedy of Vietnam, that tells the truth about who started the Viet Cong 1.00

00:36:57.280 and who was supporting them in the early days up in the north to fight the Japanese,

00:37:01.260 and Ho Chi Minh was supported by the OSS, the precursor to the CIA.

00:37:06.680 And the idea was, oh, well, we'll just build them up,

00:37:09.460 and we'll help them fight the Japanese force, and this will be a great idea.

00:37:13.320 And then they go and prop up No Din Diem, and he was a complete nobody, 0.93

00:37:17.260 the way they do this all over the world,

00:37:19.340 where they start a proxy war by taking a politician who's unpopular

00:37:24.320 and then use them to fight against a force that's much bigger than them.

00:37:28.940 I couldn't think of anything going on right now that would be at all similar to that.

00:37:34.000 Steve, it's the same playbook they do over and over.

00:37:37.680 So Ho Chi Minh and the Viet Cong, of course, turn on the United States, 1.00

00:37:41.760 turn on Diem, and we see the rest of that.

00:37:43.940 And then eventually the CIA has to go and do what?

00:37:46.260 They put him on the CIA early retirement plan.

00:37:49.320 That's how No Din Diem went out. 0.95

00:37:51.180 And so, yeah, don't be a U.S. proxy.

00:37:53.340 And what does Ho Chi Minh do?

00:37:54.480 He becomes the communist leader of all of Vietnam,

00:37:57.680 which people won't even talk about the fact that the OSS supported him.

00:38:01.920 We lost the Vietnam War the day Kennedy knew this,

00:38:05.660 sitting in the Oval Office three weeks before he was assassinated.

00:38:08.720 Far be it from me to say there was any linkage.

00:38:11.680 When the CIA, when the National Security Council, CIA came with their great plan,

00:38:15.080 and what they always want to do, they want to cut and run.

00:38:17.660 They prop somebody up.

00:38:19.180 They go all in.

00:38:20.720 And then when it doesn't work out, what's the first thing they want to do?

00:38:23.000 To a problem they created, Steve.

00:38:24.440 That's the point with their great ideas.

00:38:26.340 Yes, they created it.

00:38:27.120 And then when it gets heavy, then when it gets tough,

00:38:29.920 it's just like these broligarchs all running around Trump, 1.00

00:38:33.060 and they're all there for the inauguration, and, hey, it's all great.

00:38:36.060 I said, hey, give 100 days, look in the trenches.

00:38:39.160 See who's to your left and your right.

00:38:40.740 You know what you're going to notice a lot?

00:38:42.220 The people that were there in 2021 that had his back.

00:38:46.460 That's exactly how these Ivy Liggers work, these elites work. 1.00

00:38:50.760 They create them.

00:38:51.800 They create it.

00:38:52.360 And then when it gets a little tough, you've got the monks burning themselves

00:38:55.640 in the street, putting gasoline on themselves.

00:38:57.200 It gets, you know, in the cover of Life magazine, gets a little uncomfortable.

00:39:00.080 The cocktail party's starting to ask some tough questions.

00:39:02.900 What do they do?

00:39:03.440 They come to Kennedy, hey, we've got this plan that we're going to have the generals,

00:39:06.700 and Kennedy's like, I don't know.

00:39:07.760 And he said, no, you've got to do this.

00:39:08.840 We're going to get generals.

00:39:09.760 It's all going to be good.

00:39:10.580 It's going to be perfect.

00:39:11.960 And the family, we're going to get the family.

00:39:13.600 We've got vehicles.

00:39:14.280 We've got planes.

00:39:14.840 We're going to get them out.

00:39:15.900 They're going to go to Laos.

00:39:17.060 We're in Thailand.

00:39:17.820 They're going to go somewhere.

00:39:18.560 It's all going to be happy ever after.

00:39:20.940 And they come in and tell Kennedy in the Oval, yeah, mission accomplished.

00:39:24.680 That's self-immolation, by the way.

00:39:27.340 The self-immolation was because DM starts cleaning up all the Buddhists in southern Vietnam. 0.99

00:39:33.280 It was a Buddhist country, and he was a Catholic.

00:39:35.340 I get that.

00:39:35.880 But he's going after them.

00:39:37.940 So the guy that we're supporting starts the religious cleansing of his own country while we are still supporting him. 0.93

00:39:44.720 I can't imagine the United States supporting a guy who would go after a religious cleansing.

00:39:48.940 It wasn't a total – it wasn't an ethnic purge.

00:39:51.880 It was – look, there were a couple of the monasteries and the Buddhists that were working with the North Vietnamese.

00:39:56.100 Look, it's tough.

00:39:56.700 The players – hey, they're shifting sides all the time.

00:39:59.420 It's China and World War II, right? 0.80

00:40:02.360 You know, ask the generals.

00:40:04.120 Ask Stilwell.

00:40:05.260 Stilwell was Chiang Kai-shek. 0.89

00:40:06.420 Hey, it's Chinatown, man. 1.00

00:40:09.200 It's always shifting, okay?

00:40:11.240 It's always shifting.

00:40:12.780 So you got – but my point is you've got to make a decision and stick.

00:40:17.260 What they do, they tell Kennedy and they lie to his face.

00:40:19.620 They tell him – and then they walk in the Oval and said, hey, it's all good.

00:40:22.520 The generals are in charge.

00:40:23.660 It's all good.

00:40:24.860 There was just one small hickey, just one small hiccup.

00:40:28.640 Oh, what's that?

00:40:29.660 The entire family was assassinated on the tarmac in the back of the truck, right?

00:40:33.940 He goes, what?

00:40:34.980 There's not supposed to be an assassination?

00:40:37.280 Yeah, yeah, you're not running the deal.

00:40:39.580 The CIA is running the deal, okay?

00:40:41.040 You can't trust any of them.

00:40:42.920 And this is how powerful the National Security Council is.

00:40:46.180 Back then it was Mac George Bundy in that crowd.

00:40:48.100 Mac Bundy got us in so deep and then walked away.

00:40:51.000 Let me go back.

00:40:51.780 I'll go be president of Harvard.

00:40:53.440 I went to the world – they all go to the World Bank eventually, McNamara, all of them.

00:40:57.360 They want to get out and go to some globalist institution.

00:41:00.600 This is why this choice for President Trump is so important, so big, at least the interim discussion.

00:41:06.500 It may be – it may be Whitcoff.

00:41:08.300 Does Whitcoff have any national security experience?

00:41:11.020 Zero.

00:41:12.040 But thrown a few sharp elbows in New York City and close to the president.

00:41:16.620 Remember, Jack, when Ronald Reagan came in, he picked Judge Clark.

00:41:21.040 They had Richard V. Allen and eventually got – when Richard V. Allen was bounced because, I don't know, Richard V. Allen taking a refrigerator or something.

00:41:29.500 I forgot.

00:41:30.520 They got Judge Clark in there, which was his – like his older brother.

00:41:34.600 It was very close to Judge Clark.

00:41:36.000 Judge Clark was somebody that was probably the closest person, and he was equivalent to Whitcoff in lack of national security experience, I would say.

00:41:45.800 But he had the full faith of Reagan to tell him, hey, what in the hell are these guys doing?

00:41:51.680 Because that's the number one thing.

00:41:52.920 You've got to say they've got a lot of guys running around.

00:41:54.740 Exactly what are these guys doing?

00:41:56.600 I want to make sure nobody's – they're not cutting deals with the Contras and taking money out of here and doing stuff.

00:42:04.100 Jack, we've just got about two minutes.

00:42:05.460 Your closing thoughts on the NSC today.

00:42:07.140 Yeah, I'll just say the – I've said this so many times here on The War Room, and thanks, Ken, for having me on, Steve.

00:42:13.700 It's the most dangerous words for the America First movement to hear about someone is that they're highly respected in Washington, D.C.

00:42:23.040 The minute you hear that set phrase, this is highly respected, highly respected, highly respected in D.C., that means this is someone that has come up through the system, that has come up through the ranks, that has checked every wicket, that has checked every box, that is totally dependent on the system for their credibility and for their authority.

00:42:43.880 So this is a tough job that the president has to find people who actually have the expertise on these issues, have the clarity on these issues, but also aren't totally co-opted or perhaps well-meaning but don't understand the grand strategy that President Trump is hearkening to, which, by the way, is the previous national security, economic, geopolitical, geostrategic policy of the United States pre-globalism.

00:43:13.340 President Trump is ratcheting things back to the pre-globalist era, and that's what a lot of people don't seem to understand.

00:43:21.400 This is traditional American foreign policy.

00:43:24.820 Where do they go to get you, Jack?

00:43:26.200 You want to be up at 2.

00:43:26.900 Charlie Kirk follows us at noon.

00:43:28.440 Jack at 2.

00:43:29.340 Gruber at 3.

00:43:30.560 Bowling at 4.

00:43:31.560 We do the handover.

00:43:32.540 5 to 7 is the war room.

00:43:33.800 Where do people go and get you in the interim, Jack Posobiec?

00:43:36.960 Yeah, well, the interim, all of the smash on this.

00:43:39.260 Even as we've been talking, my phone's been blowing up.

00:43:42.660 Sources hitting me up, Signal, all the rest of it.

00:43:45.520 No, not those Signal groups, by the way.

00:43:47.720 And, of course, I'll be up.

00:43:49.360 Jack Posobiec on X, on Twitter, on Truth, and then Human Events daily in case you missed the podcast live.

00:43:56.800 Posobiec, don't accept any positions.

00:43:58.860 I'm your agent here.

00:43:59.720 I'm doing negotiations.

00:44:00.800 Don't hit the bid on anything.

00:44:01.980 Don't get crazy until we get to our regroup with you later in the day.

00:44:05.460 Young man, do not be accepting any titles.

00:44:08.060 Don't be accepting any billets until we talk.

00:44:10.520 Jack Posobiec.

00:44:11.300 Jack, no kings, no titles.

00:44:14.100 No kings.

00:44:15.260 Hell, I had Walsh back here to meet people.

00:44:17.160 I guess I had to redo the schedule.

00:44:19.120 Now, the president is not just the Mike Lindell thing.

00:44:22.160 I think the president may be going to step forward here in a minute or two, maybe give us some explanations of what's going on.

00:44:27.600 Big day in the White House reporting that the National Security Advisor, Green Break Colonel Mike Waltz, former member of Congress from Florida.

00:44:37.600 I mean, this will be such a pity.

00:44:39.640 We take him out of a locked seat.

00:44:41.120 He's beloved down there.

00:44:42.400 The guy's winning by 30 points.

00:44:44.360 We get somebody that's maybe not loved quite as much, right?

00:44:50.220 We have to have a tractor pull on that one. 1.00

00:44:52.780 And now Waltz is out.

00:44:53.820 Hey, you can't make this stuff up.

00:44:55.020 Maybe even Alex Wong, the deputy.

00:44:57.160 Let's go to Natalie Dominguez. 0.92

00:44:58.560 Natalie, take it away, ma'am. 0.96

00:45:00.560 Everybody loves the $1 million triple lock protection.

00:45:03.220 What do you got for us?

00:45:04.440 The only thing that's going to stop you, Natalie, is we may have to jump in if the president steps to the mic.

00:45:08.860 What do you got for us, ma'am?

00:45:10.040 No, all good.

00:45:11.600 I'll make it quick.

00:45:12.300 First of all, happy late one-year anniversary.

00:45:15.420 I've been with you guys for a year now.

00:45:17.960 This came up because we actually have an update from one of the original stories that I reported on.

00:45:22.260 So just to recap, there was a woman in Ohio that in 2023 found out that almost 10 years prior in 2012,

00:45:30.540 a realtor that she'd been working with had transferred her home out of her name,

00:45:34.640 and she didn't find out about it until 2023.

00:45:36.480 During that time, it was 2024 when she started the court proceedings.

00:45:41.520 She actually ended up representing herself because she couldn't afford the $20,000 retainer fee to get representation.

00:45:50.360 So this realtor had transferred the home into his company's name, had taken out a mortgage,

00:45:55.760 and she found out literally because she was getting a foreclosure notice in the mail, and she had to appear in court.

00:46:00.300 So update, okay?

00:46:01.840 So it's May of 2025.

00:46:03.140 We just got this article that came out after two years.

00:46:07.080 The appeals court that she went through finally ruled in her favor, saying the document was illegitimate.

00:46:12.340 And she started crying, and she's like, I'm so relieved.

00:46:15.080 I felt so violated.

00:46:16.060 I felt abused, unprotected, because as we all know, we talk about this all the time.

00:46:20.220 The government really isn't doing much to change this just to be able to prosecute criminals once they've been caught, right?

00:46:25.720 But because this realtor, this criminal, had passed away prior to the court proceedings, the person representing the criminal's estate,

00:46:34.980 after the court had ruled in her favor, are now saying, well, we're going to appeal it, and we're still going to fight.

00:46:40.140 So she finally gets everything back in her name, and the battle still has not fully been won.

00:46:44.600 So the reason I thought this was so important to cover.

00:46:47.900 No, no, but hang on.

00:46:49.200 Hang on for one second.

00:46:50.120 I just want to tell people.

00:46:51.320 Your entire, this is what we're trying, you're avoiding by having home title lock.

00:46:55.860 Not just the fact they're going to take it.

00:46:57.680 Once some process like that starts, your entire life is overwhelmed by that.

00:47:03.940 That's what we're trying to help you avoid. 0.78

00:47:05.800 It is because they're taking your freaking home. 0.87

00:47:09.580 That is not just your castle. 0.60

00:47:11.060 It's also your biggest financial asset.

00:47:13.180 You become, I've been talking about, you become consumed by this, and you don't want to be consumed by it with this very simple protection.

00:47:20.440 Natalie.

00:47:21.820 Absolutely.

00:47:22.520 And this woman, two years she's been fighting this battle, and that's why our million-dollar protection, like you said, is designed the way it is.

00:47:29.440 We're not just monitoring.

00:47:30.520 We're not just alerts.

00:48:28.220 Thanks.

00:48:28.980 Hopefully many more to come.

00:48:30.380 Only, you have to say, HomeTitleLock.com, promo code STEVE.

00:48:35.720 Go check out today the $1 million triple lock protection and particularly the restoration project, all of it.

00:48:41.800 Natalie Dominguez, I hope you work through it.

00:48:43.500 Natalie, thank you so much, ma'am.

00:48:45.360 Thanks, Steve.

00:48:45.940 Great work.

00:48:47.480 Love these young people, man.

00:48:48.560 They get involved and they get done.

00:48:49.500 What you're seeing there is the, that is the Rose Garden and it looks like the Mike and Lindell kind of mini event.

00:48:59.340 But now the president, looks like the president's going to come out.

00:49:01.760 Can we go there and get the music?

00:49:04.540 Yeah.

00:49:05.060 This is beautiful.

00:49:06.760 I love that.

00:49:07.500 Isn't that great?

00:49:09.260 This is a war in production right here, man.

00:49:11.640 Rose Garden on a beautiful May Day with that music.

00:49:15.280 And the president of the United States, right there, it's just so you know, right back at that podium where that flag is, that is the Oval Office.

00:49:23.420 The Oval Office looks out into the Rose Garden.

00:49:26.900 Okay?

00:49:27.440 Now, as you see the picture right there, to your right, that's where the colonnades are that you always have that.

00:49:34.100 There's no connection of the West Wing actually physically to the residence.

00:49:40.620 That colonnade is where you go down to the residence.

00:49:42.740 So if you're sitting here right there where the camera is, to your hard right is the beginning of where the residence starts.

00:49:49.660 And the residence is what we call the White House.

00:49:51.460 That's a massive structure.

00:49:52.800 Now, the residence has those, kind of the east room and it has more of the ballrooms or the rooms down below that, on that one, that first level.

00:50:01.800 Actually, you've got to go up a level, I guess, actually, technically.

00:50:04.320 You walk into the basement level where the, I think the map room's down there.

00:50:09.020 Every room is magnificent.

00:50:10.180 In fact, last night, they actually did the CEO meeting, his talk, in a room they don't use very often.

00:50:18.600 It's quite extraordinary.

00:50:20.660 The president's coming down, I imagine.

00:50:22.900 And we're going to take this until it goes.

00:50:25.420 And we're going to keep that photo.

00:50:26.480 We're going to keep that shot up there.

00:50:27.860 It's fantastic.

00:50:29.160 We're going to go.

00:50:30.140 This is going to go right through into Charlie Kirk.

00:50:32.240 And so I imagine the president, and I think he's going to, guys, you don't need me.

00:50:35.640 Let's have the full shot.

00:50:37.320 People see me enough.

00:50:39.240 My beautiful visage is right here.

00:50:41.840 In their heart, they've got that, right?

00:50:43.720 In their heart, they've got that.

00:50:44.720 There we are.

00:50:45.560 That's a photo.

00:50:46.300 That's a beautiful, an amazing spring day here in Washington, D.C.

00:50:51.140 Mike Lindell's there with a bunch of folks.

00:50:53.040 They're going to have some prayers.

00:50:54.860 I think this was kind of put together over this whole week in the run-up to the 100 days.

00:51:01.860 They've had influencers come in every day.

00:51:04.060 Eric Bowling's been over there.

00:51:05.140 Jack Posobiec's there.

00:51:06.280 Of course, we've got a permanent team of Natalie and Amanda Head and, of course, Brian Glenn.

00:51:11.480 But they've been bringing in D.C.

00:51:12.720 Drano was in the other day, so they've been bringing in influencers,

00:51:15.900 and particularly the new media ecosystem, to do all this.

00:51:19.600 Dave Walsh, we always call in audibles here in the war room,

00:51:25.200 but you're here for a couple of days?

00:51:26.540 Yeah.

00:51:26.780 You're going to go see our AMC over at CRA?

00:51:29.420 Yep, we'll be there.

00:51:30.500 I think we may have to.

00:51:31.380 Can we think about trying to get you back over here, do some work,

00:51:34.580 or is your schedule booked?

00:51:36.300 I talked to your agent.

00:51:37.340 I've got to talk to your agent.

00:51:40.080 Friday, Saturday, I'm loyal to those who brought me.

00:51:43.840 Give me a couple of minutes on where do we stand with President Trump.

00:51:48.140 You heard Benoit saying that the reindustrialization is started.

00:51:54.020 It's going to be tough, but is this energy plan in motion now to back that up?

00:52:00.640 It's completely consistent with that.

00:52:03.100 He's talking the steel industry.

00:52:04.700 We used to make 150 million tons a year in this country.

00:52:07.840 Now about 50 million tons, massive reduction.

00:52:11.500 We've got energy is at the core of that.

00:52:13.120 Same as AI data centers, energy is at the core of being able to produce steel,

00:52:17.120 a core product, cost-effectively, 300, 400 megawatts per steel plant.

00:52:21.620 I just want the one picture.

00:52:23.240 I don't need a box.

00:52:24.800 I just want the one picture.

00:52:25.660 He gets it.

00:52:26.520 Okay, there we go.

00:52:27.740 Now I'm happy.

00:52:29.280 I'm going to stop whining. 0.88

00:52:30.380 I'm going to stop being bitchy. 0.75

00:52:31.840 Okay.

00:52:32.440 A lot of people are a little worried about the slow walk on solar.

00:52:36.120 I think when more of this kind of...

00:52:37.520 What do you mean the slow walk on solar?

00:52:38.680 Well, it's not.

00:52:39.400 We talk a lot about wind.

00:52:40.740 He's all over that.

00:52:41.720 Offshore wind is a big mess.

00:52:43.140 Way costly.

00:52:44.280 Solar is too.

00:52:45.000 I think internally there might be a little pressure from Elon on, hey, if you love solar,

00:52:49.680 it sells batteries.

00:52:51.080 I don't know.

00:52:52.020 We'll see.

00:52:53.040 But you can't have reshoring and you can't have manufacturing with solar as a major part

00:52:57.840 of your electricity mix.

00:52:59.240 It's too costly and it's too part-time.

00:53:01.640 Great opportunity to leverage off of a disaster this week like the other guys do.

00:53:06.280 Leverage off of it.

00:53:07.120 Spain is a perfect example.

00:53:07.680 Are you saying, hey, lesson learned?

00:53:09.180 Lesson learned.

00:53:10.100 Iberia taught us we're getting out of here. 1.00

00:53:12.240 Iberia seems to want to return to their agrarian history as Rome's breadbasket. 0.93

00:53:18.080 Manufacturing, gone.

00:53:19.060 Steel in Spain, gone.

00:53:20.700 Ability to colonize third world countries, gone.

00:53:23.920 People got to remember, that's where the gladiator, that's where Russell Crowe's farm was down there.

00:53:29.300 Yeah, Hannibal walked through there, recruited a lot of men, took Rome for a while, took Rome,

00:53:33.140 and then they became their breadbasket for Rome.

00:53:35.000 Seemed to be one that headed back to the same place, no manufacturing, because the electrification

00:53:39.240 is awful, three times more costly than here.

00:53:41.800 You deal with these consultants, people all the time.

00:53:44.040 How did they come?

00:53:45.440 We were talking in the break.

00:53:47.340 The globalization thing back in the 80s, it's a mindset.

00:53:51.080 It's just a mindset.

00:53:52.360 You had another mindset to de-industrialize and to use energy to do it.

00:53:56.020 Have we broken that fever?

00:53:57.740 No, I don't think we have yet, among Wall Street particularly.

00:54:01.280 And I'm worried.

00:54:01.980 Wall Street may not be a great owner of the steel industry.

00:54:04.320 They're not interested in it.

00:54:05.540 That's a side comment.

00:54:06.480 Back in my day, running manufacturing businesses in Westinghouse, we had the company got in

00:54:11.200 trouble through lending, got in trouble, bring in McKinsey, Booz Allen, Boston Consulting,

00:54:16.140 all with the same message.

00:54:17.660 Blade rings, turbine cylinders, exhaust cylinders, rotors, buying from China, buying from Korea,

00:54:22.700 buying from Hungary.

00:54:23.520 I went to school with all those guys.

00:54:26.260 It's a mindset.

00:54:27.360 They all had the same message.

00:54:29.000 Same answer.

00:54:29.220 No original thinking.

00:54:30.280 None.

00:54:30.400 So it was sourcing, and then it was develop your service business, drove Westinghouse into getting

00:54:35.040 into the lending business, bankrupted them.

00:54:37.720 Twenty-five years later, reproduced the same model at GE.

00:54:40.760 Insurance and lending have tanked them, and now they've spun off all their units.

00:54:44.940 Together, the great manufacturing business.

00:54:46.420 That came from McKinsey, Booz Allen, Boston Consulting.

00:54:49.540 Walk me through the next hundred days, what Dave Walsh is looking for to make sure we got

00:54:58.540 the same momentum and progress in energy to dovetail with the industrial policy.

00:55:04.840 I think you're going to see a return to the use of the tariff weapon on solar and battery

00:55:12.180 storage, which is critical to getting combined cycle natural gas back on the table as the

00:55:18.220 dominant energy choice for electrification.

00:55:21.060 It's the lowest cost.

00:55:22.000 It's way the cleanest on real pollutants, NOx, SOx, and heavy metals.

00:55:26.280 And then look at Zeldin's good work in the EPA on disabling, kneecapping the endangerment

00:55:33.160 finding, then takes the legs out from under the further incentivization of part-time, irrelevant

00:55:39.060 electricity supply devices that cost a fortune.

00:55:41.880 And oh, by the way, all come from China.

00:55:44.000 That'll be the keystone to go ahead and disable, incentivizing further, the meaningless

00:55:50.700 electricity supply items.

00:55:51.920 Where do people go to get your, where do people go to get your, all your content?

00:55:57.500 You can find me at X, Truth Social, and Getter.

00:55:59.400 Dave Walsh Energy.

00:56:00.340 Okay.

00:56:00.500 Thank you, Steve.

00:56:01.000 Appreciate you.

00:56:01.560 How's, how's X working out for you?

00:56:03.400 Good?

00:56:06.140 It's growing.

00:56:07.140 It's growing.

00:56:07.580 Getter, you're a huge star.

00:56:08.500 Exponential growth from low numbers.

00:56:10.140 It's up to, we're moving up.

00:56:11.520 Okay, fine.

00:56:12.220 Your stuff's amazing.

00:56:17.020 All right.

00:56:19.520 We're going to do a hard flip right to Charlie Kirk.

00:56:22.300 President probably, it looks like he may come out at noon.

00:56:24.640 As soon as the president comes out, we're going to go to the low coverage.

00:56:27.740 We're going to toss to Charlie Kirk here in about a minute or so.

00:57:57.680 Steve Bannon here.

00:57:58.720 War Room listeners know Jim Rickards.

00:58:00.260 Guys, I love this guy.

00:58:01.880 He's our wise man.

00:58:02.860 A former CIA, Pentagon, and White House advisor with an unmatched grasp of geopolitics and capital

00:58:08.480 markets.

00:58:09.480 Jim predicted Trump's Electoral College victory exactly 312 to 226, down to the actual number

00:58:17.680 itself.

00:58:18.840 Now he's issuing a dire warning about April 11th, a moment that could define Trump's presidency

00:58:24.300 in your financial future.

00:58:26.460 His latest book, Money GPT, exposes how AI is setting the stage for financial chaos, bank

00:58:32.840 runs at lightning speeds, algorithm-driven crashes, and even threats to national security.

00:58:38.100 Right now, War Room members get a free copy of Money GPT when they sign up for Strategic

00:58:43.660 Intelligence.

00:58:44.680 This is Jim's flagship financial newsletter, Strategic Intelligence.

00:58:49.500 I read it.

00:58:50.560 You should read it.

00:58:51.380 Time is running out.

00:59:02.740 Do it today.

00:59:05.060 Hey, War Room.

00:59:06.040 Hope you're all doing well.

00:59:07.160 My name is Trevor Comstock.

00:59:08.540 I'm one of the co-creators of Sacred Human, and I wanted to share just a little bit more

00:59:12.280 about our brand for those who may not know of us yet.

00:59:15.040 But about six months ago, we decided to launch Sacred Human with really the simple mission

00:59:19.780 being to provide American-made natural supplements without all the artificial nonsense.

00:59:26.240 So unfortunately, as many of you know, a lot of these big corporate supplements will include

00:59:30.760 things like preservatives, artificial ingredients, and other additives that really aren't benefiting

00:59:35.780 your health.

00:59:36.780 So that's why we created Sacred Human, really trying to fill this gap with quality supplements.

00:59:41.340 And of course, the beef liver being our flagship products.

00:59:45.180 For those who don't know, beef liver is loaded with highly bioavailable ingredients such as

00:59:50.140 vitamin A, B12, zinc, CoQ10, etc.

00:59:54.700 And because it is 100% grass-fed and natural, your body is able to absorb these nutrients

01:00:00.600 far better than taking any other synthetic multivitamin or any other synthetic vitamin in general.

01:00:06.620 So we have some other amazing products, but if you'd like to check us out, you can go to

01:00:10.960 sacredhumanhealth.com and cheers to your health.
