Bannon's War Room - Episode 4496： Cutting Reckless Federal Funding; Setting A True Foundation For America

00:00:00.000 this is the primal scream of a dying regime pray for our enemies because we're going to

00:00:09.680 medieval on these people here's not got a free shot all these networks lying about the people

00:00:16.260 the people have had a belly full of it i know you don't like hearing that i know you try to do

00:00:20.440 everything in the world to stop that but you're not going to stop it it's going to happen and

00:00:23.780 where do people like that go to share the big line mega media i wish in my soul i wish that any of

00:00:31.620 these people had a conscience ask yourself what is my task and what is my purpose if that answer

00:00:38.720 is to save my country this country will be saved war room here's your host stephen k band

00:00:53.780 monday 19 may year of our lord 2025 um i said look to my trusty colleague the 10-year treasuries is

00:01:02.120 still above 4.5 anyway the treasuries popped a little bit over the uh uh over the uh over the

00:01:08.220 weekend the 30 went above five um i don't think the market's totally absorbed what the downgrade is

00:01:15.580 scott best was on tv said it's backward looking okay i'd buy that it's a it's looking backwards

00:01:23.240 but it's a forward-looking problem because now they got excuses to hide behind and you notice

00:01:30.160 they didn't do this under biden which is a joke the way yellen ran the thing and yellen remember

00:01:36.760 financed all this we talked about all the time short term because they couldn't go out they

00:01:42.220 couldn't go out in 10s and 30s because it would it would have blown up on them and caused even more

00:01:47.280 inflation than they are caused by their spending but the spending is caused by the is the inflation

00:01:54.280 is caused by spending this massive federal spending so we have to get we have to get our arms around it

00:02:00.840 i've said time and time again the bond market's going to get a vote well guess what on friday

00:02:05.680 they got the air cover to have a vote and they're going to have a vote

00:02:09.600 we need to take action when we can take action that's what president trump's trying to do with

00:02:17.520 this overhaul massive comprehensive uh comprehensive bill which i still think is a possibility they may

00:02:25.820 split this thing in two the senate might to try to do the the um the border security which is the

00:02:32.760 170 billion dollars that they want i think it's 90 billion in the house so the conference will work that

00:02:38.820 out but that is an unfathomable amount of money right to do the deportations plus another 150

00:02:46.400 billion i think top up in uh in defense spending that's why the deficits are higher in the first

00:02:53.360 years and can you trust the political class can you trust the people on capitol hill you haven't

00:03:00.120 been able to trust them so far i don't think president trump should trust them

00:03:03.600 in particular can the american people trust these folks

00:03:08.040 because all they want to do is spend and spend and spend and the republicans haven't been a break

00:03:12.920 upon that they've kind of got tapped along they've had some things on the margins but it's just been

00:03:17.600 on the margins here they're talking about they're going to have this throwdown the term you're going

00:03:24.060 to hear is f map basically trying to stop obamacare expansion and that's the big thing they're

00:03:31.820 talking about that could be significant another i guess couple hundred billion dollars

00:03:35.300 over the program and in cutting spending and particularly in the first years but here's

00:03:39.800 what they presented here's what the house presented last week before people were able to to to kick up

00:03:45.720 dust and i'm one of the proponents of not cutting medicaid to the bone because you've got a ton of

00:03:51.440 working class people on medicaid now because the jobs have been shipped overseas and they don't have

00:03:56.080 insurance but when you know you got two and a half million plus illegal aliens on it no no illegal alien

00:04:04.360 in this country should be on medicaid full stop and that you got the able-bodied that are not even

00:04:11.100 doing basic checks because of what a biden put in and that wasn't going to start to 2029 that's just

00:04:15.920 not right that's the problem the details of all these programs that get all this and there's so much in

00:04:21.520 this bill and in the tax side that if you don't have a team of experts that can analyze it for you

00:04:26.780 they're going to steamroll you you the average citizen who are in good faith sitting there going

00:04:31.600 well i i voted on a guy that you know his campaign poster said limited government his campaign poster

00:04:37.880 said limited government if his campaign poster said limited government where is he on the at least

00:04:46.760 the initial doge cuts and not just programmatically because remember i said hey other people were coming

00:04:51.140 to that so i don't really count that but on the fraud my understanding there's a couple hundred

00:04:56.680 billion dollars kind of floating around of potential doge cuts because if you look at the math every

00:05:03.180 month because they post it we are spending more the first six months in the fiscal year was over a

00:05:09.940 trillion dollars that's just the math that's reported but my understanding is that the rescissions

00:05:16.340 packages because you've got two ways to do this uh either do impoundments which the president can

00:05:21.920 just do and that's gonna be challenged in the courts or you can do rescissions where you go up

00:05:25.100 you just need a majority vote which we should have in both houses and my understanding is that

00:05:31.280 russ has not put forward the um the rescissions packages because given everything in the reconciliation

00:05:38.720 bill they don't know if there's attention or what of these things can pass or even get people's

00:05:45.500 attention i also understand that there's already certain other rescissions packages dealing with

00:05:52.320 some of the doge what doge found in the cuts that people in capitol hill have said no we don't want to

00:05:57.920 do that that's not acceptable and so i don't know what they're going to do with that but they're going

00:06:03.460 to come up with some solution to that too my point is that none of them want to face the music of

00:06:10.640 having to cut federal spending just to go back to the pre-covid and covet medicaid is what what did

00:06:18.680 andy harris say 40 percent nobody wants to face the fact that we've had explosive growth and that

00:06:24.800 includes that's including in defense well president trump is on the phone right now with putin even as

00:06:30.580 we speak to try to at least initially not an overall deal but to talk about you know a stand down in

00:06:38.180 ukraine and this is why the russian rapprochement and is is so important to somehow begin to put a

00:06:47.320 wedge in between them and the chinese communist party you saw the the moscow celebrations of victory

00:06:53.420 in europe day their version of it 80 years later and now we're hearing uh all kind of reports that the

00:07:01.380 chinese communist party has been it's given the weapon systems in pakistan there's huge reports out that

00:07:06.860 the that the uh they're they're cozying up to the egyptian military you think egypt you think

00:07:13.060 is kind of surrounded turkey to the north egypt on one side persia on the other

00:07:18.260 right so president trump's trying to deal with the kinetic part of the third world war and trying

00:07:25.800 to bring some semblance in the arc of instability all the way from the ukraine all the way down to

00:07:31.080 the north arabian and red sea and everything in betwixt which is like a tinderbox just waiting to go up

00:07:39.260 those folks all cheek by gel they got a lot of vendettas in in cashmere in afghanistan in persia

00:07:47.980 turkey syria uh the southern tip of arabia the houthi land and yemen

00:07:57.160 they all got they all got a they all got an issue the black hand of the chinese communist parties

00:08:04.040 everywhere to be disruptive including that's why we're following the rio reset so so um

00:08:09.840 so closely go to birchgold.com right now and get it the free the seventh free installment the rio reset

00:08:16.700 everything that leads up to it all free why the black hand of the chinese communist parties in back

00:08:22.360 of most of this why is this because they're the existential threat to the united states and oh by

00:08:27.820 the way they're already engaged in war against us remember chinese uh philosophical and military

00:08:34.600 doctrine by sun tzu and all their other philosophers if you have to go kinetic the moment you go kinetic

00:08:41.820 they think we've kind of lost not that they intend to lose in the kinetic but they said we kind of lost

00:08:48.680 because you know foreign devils like fighting kinetic workers not they're not they're not strategic

00:08:54.620 enough and savvy enough and cunning enough to defeat their enemies beforehand and that's what we

00:09:00.820 the imperial power and imperial house of china does so president trump's trying to do that

00:09:09.560 uh cleveland's got a great report in in uh in um uh over the federalist about she actually breaks it

00:09:18.840 down on the judicial insurrection we've had mike davis and julia kelly everybody on here talking about it

00:09:24.100 since president trump took over in january you've got a insurrection uh from the judiciary and that's

00:09:34.040 only way they're slowing him down right now but that's a real thing and that's going to have to be

00:09:37.980 brought to a head this is why in this show we got dc drain on here we put that great tweet up and

00:09:42.840 said hey let's get down because i said this is an avenue that is going to be a forcing function and

00:09:49.520 that is suspending the writ of habeas corpus why because you can tell right now they're trying to step

00:09:55.200 in between him and being commander in chief of the armed forces take a deep breath this has happened

00:10:03.620 before in the civil war in the beginning early days of the civil war the chief justice

00:10:07.880 what uh tanny who had given us the dred scott decision right kind of a triggering event he tried

00:10:17.880 to step in between lincoln and the uh and his powers or as he and seward described them the inherent

00:10:26.480 powers of the executive branch article two particularly as commander in chief

00:10:33.700 to suspend habeas corpus and to kind of run the war as a warlord which he did got worse over time

00:10:41.500 as the fighting got worse and union losses mounted but he didn't back off never backed off

00:10:47.380 so that's the whole judicial front now you've got the big enchilada which is the

00:10:53.020 the spending and how you're going to finance it and they did get a reprieve last night but doesn't

00:10:59.320 mean that's going to go away doesn't mean the deficit hawks and the deficit hawks are not wrong

00:11:02.820 here it's just what can you get done what can you get done to kind of bend this arc and this is my

00:11:08.880 point if there are other things out there now's the time let's hear if there are revenue look we just

00:11:15.940 had the biggest tariff month in history if there is something that's going to be kicked in from the

00:11:22.240 external revenue service and it's meaningful and by meaningful in this regard i mean every penny

00:11:28.100 because we ought to be scraping you ought to be into the sofas and getting the nickels and the dimes

00:11:34.040 this ought to be all hands on deck so if we if we have coming in from that it ought to be a number

00:11:42.020 we ought to put out and say this is a number that we can live with we this is a number we debated you

00:11:46.140 know oh that's too high that's too okay we agree upon this number go back into the doge situation

00:11:51.320 and these rescissions i'd like to see what these rescissions are i just don't think it's some

00:11:57.140 magical formula let's get it out there let's refute let's take the wall street journal's article and

00:12:03.180 let's refute it they're saying right now the deficit increases by three trillion dollars let's let's

00:12:09.520 refute that line by line i know we've got the information let's do it and then let's and then

00:12:15.640 let's look at what this medicaid expansion and what's doable on this i mean harris could not

00:12:22.320 have been more blunt it's not going to pass on wednesday and that means he's probably got i don't

00:12:26.720 know 10 20 30 or more of these folks that realize back home people are saying hey you got to get

00:12:33.300 control of this debt because you have to get control of the debt and once we lock this in it's locked

00:12:39.680 in just like the tax cut in 2017 locked in uh and did such a magnificent job by the time 2019 came

00:12:48.700 around it shouldn't be lost on people that the tax cut as because it was so demonized by the left

00:12:57.160 was not properly sold or not sold enough that in the midterm elections we lost 42 seats and i realized

00:13:03.820 a lot of that was because of you know russiagate and all the hate that pelosi's people put on but

00:13:09.620 all the benefits that pop the next year just like reagan's plan had to be explained to people

00:13:16.980 i'm not sure it was the next year by 19 people were feeling good about it

00:13:22.340 i tell you how good they were feeling the chinese cameras party ripped up in may of that year

00:13:28.820 ripped up and spit in our face on the lighthizer deal said we're not going to do that

00:13:32.300 we would be we did this deal we would always be under the boot of the foreign devil

00:13:37.460 and what happened in in in august september that year i don't know the military games in wuhan i

00:13:44.020 don't know people started getting sick yeah that wuhan yeah that lab which i haven't seen any

00:13:51.060 official investigation on that either if you look all these aspects and this one's going to be a big

00:13:57.780 struggle but we'll get through it but all every piece of information has got to be put on the table

00:14:04.260 so the american people can see it and understand what they're voting for because they're essentially

00:14:09.060 voting here with their representatives and guys are going to go men and women are going to have

00:14:12.820 to go back home and defend this for their re-election in the primaries and re-election in the general so

00:14:19.060 let's get it all on the table now and let's get something that the right now you get the senate say

00:14:24.580 just out of hand oh it's you know johnson saying i need 10 for eight train dollars in cuts

00:14:28.740 other guys saying you're cutting too much this is all doable particularly if we get all the math

00:14:36.660 out there if we get all the math out there it's much easier to package this and sell it right now

00:14:42.900 just my feeling is that there's a lot of moving in the dark okay short commercial break birchgold.com

00:15:00.260 this july there is a global summit of brics nations in rio de janeiro the block of emerging superpowers

00:16:20.020 eight do it today that's the rio reset text bannon at nine eight nine eight nine eight and do it today

00:16:28.100 figured this out that they can force the federal government to spend nine dollars for every one

00:16:33.860 dollar that it spends and they're using it to launder money they and this is the way they do it

00:16:39.620 and it costs no money to california because they raise taxes on managed care companies the companies

00:16:46.420 that are providing medicaid so they go to these companies and say we're going to tax you but don't

00:16:50.500 worry we're going to give you all of the money that we just taxed you right back but in the meantime

00:16:55.940 we're going to take that money and we're going to pull down federal dollars and that'll let us have

00:17:00.900 more money so that we can spend it on expanding the population for medicaid and spend it on illegal

00:17:07.460 immigrants in fact this scheme has allowed california to spend nearly four billion dollars to put illegal

00:17:14.980 immigrants to put to put on to pay for illegal immigrants to have medicaid four billion dollars

00:17:23.380 this is crazy and this total scheme is spending more money in federal dollars in california that

00:17:31.060 we send in federal dollars than the entire state of florida spends in one year in their in their entire

00:17:38.260 annual budget so this is absurd this has to be corrected um california is stealing federal dollars

00:17:46.100 and they're they're rubbing our noses in it by paying for illegal immigrants and encouraging them to

00:17:51.220 come over here okay if you like the capital markets and geopolitics and today you got a president trump

00:17:57.700 even as we speak on the phone with putin about uh geopolitics particularly ukraine also capital

00:18:06.340 markets we've talked all about it and congressman burleson is going to join us here in a second

00:18:10.980 because i think he might be on to something records war room.com jim records records gonna be on the

00:18:15.860 next couple days one of the best contributors we've got strategic intelligence is the newsletter

00:18:21.780 make sure you go check it out today records war room.com strategic intelligence and he

00:18:25.860 throws in a free book on artificial intelligence and currency which will curl your hair as it was meant

00:18:31.060 to congressman burleson take a second just hit a quick recap you basically accusing the state of

00:18:39.620 california and kind of a money laundering operation taking i don't know under false pretenses federal money

00:18:46.100 and funding it to illegal aliens is that the way i read that sir that's exactly right steve they they

00:18:53.860 taxed they went to these managed care organizations and then they're in the state law in california

00:18:58.660 they created this scheme where they say we will tax you but we will return every dime that we've taxed

00:19:05.220 you to the insurance companies that are managing medicaid and then they take then they go to the federal

00:19:11.060 government and say hey look we just spent that money we paid these insurance companies this

00:19:16.340 amount of money um in in this case last year is sixteen point seven billion dollars and so but that money

00:19:23.700 never went out of california's you know system they never they weren't down 16.7 billion they just told

00:19:31.380 the federal government that they spent 16.7 billion and then they that allowed them to draw down nine

00:19:37.300 and a half billion dollars to with which they spent four billion dollars to fund medicaid for illegal

00:19:44.260 immigrants and another almost five and a half billion to expand state programs on welfare

00:19:50.100 so so is the solution is this part of your effort to get is it two and a half million illegal aliens now

00:19:58.100 on medicaid is this part of the effort of folks in the house to say in this in the in this reconciliation

00:20:03.780 bill the big beautiful bill we got to broom all the illegal aliens off the medicaid rolls sir

00:20:10.900 yeah absolutely and we do that i think in this bill which is fantastic however the the thing that

00:20:16.900 we're not doing is closing this money laundering shell game because instead of sending the four

00:20:23.140 billion dollars to illegals they're just going to funnel that four billion dollars over to expand more

00:20:27.780 welfare programs for individuals in california at the end of the day all at the expense of you and i

00:20:33.060 this is all federal money that we're sending to california and it's more than the entire state of

00:20:38.260 florida's entire annual budget it's how much money the federal government is sending to california

00:20:43.460 for this money scheme so are you proposing is there language you propose to go in there to

00:20:49.380 shut this down or has that already been thrown out it it has been thrown out um we have we're

00:20:55.700 we're fighting with some of the moderates they they're dragging the feet particularly because

00:20:59.140 they're from the states that are doing this scan from california from new york those are the a lot

00:21:03.780 of all the blue big blue states are the ones that are doing this scan they're maximizing federal

00:21:08.900 dollars and they're doing it um at the cost of of you and i and a lot all these red states you know

00:21:16.500 steve have not expanded and they're not doing this this level of of this taxation scheme so states like

00:21:23.620 florida texas my state of missouri um they're they're nowhere near doing what uh these blue states are

00:21:31.060 doing which is why it just puzzles me why we won't close this as a loophole and try to at least phase out

00:21:37.060 this this money laundering scam which is which includes f map and so you've heard that term f map

00:21:43.380 talked about the f map is the federal match um for the medicaid individuals for an able-bodied

00:21:50.820 individual somebody who should be working um we're paying we're matching 90 cents for every one dollar

00:21:57.220 that the state spends when it comes to disabled people it's much it's much lower it's around half

00:22:03.220 so we we're paying we're incentivizing these states to put people that should be working

00:22:08.420 on medicaid and keep them on a welfare system which is in that that entire scheme is what these other

00:22:15.140 states are using to bankrupt the federal government so annie harris was on earlier he's saying this is

00:22:21.700 going to be a big fight he doesn't know that this is going to be rectified by wednesday are your

00:22:26.180 constituents you're pretty close to your folks out there where they come down to they want to fight for

00:22:30.660 every penny and and this obamacare expansion we understand the able-bodied you can't wait to 29

00:22:37.060 you gotta they gotta go register immediately can't wait to 29 but the rest of this about medicaid

00:22:42.900 expansion this fight which will be a lot tougher and maybe longer that your constituents have your

00:22:48.820 back to be part of that that fight that if you're going to stop obamacare expansion you you take that you

00:22:54.340 do the fight now you lance the boil now absolutely because if we don't do this it's estimated and the

00:23:01.460 cdo is getting ready to score this hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars that will erase any

00:23:06.660 savings that we're going to let this bill pass um it will it's not a deficit neutral plan in the short

00:23:14.500 term all of the savings are as you well mentioned are in the back end in the latter years which is i think

00:23:21.700 is unacceptable but we can fix this whole medicaid scam and i don't i don't understand why republicans

00:23:28.420 at least you know can come on board and say you know what you're right it does need to be fixed maybe

00:23:34.580 we maybe we do it in latter years as well but at least we can close this this uh loophole with this with

00:23:42.180 the f math what is the resistance to try to to try to do it all now from from the moderates what what

00:23:50.660 what is their pushback yeah and i and i and i sympathize with my friends from our more purple

00:23:56.820 districts they don't want to see um dramatic cuts they don't want to see the systems buckle with

00:24:02.740 hospitals receive the shortfall but at the end of the day it's not sustainable because if we don't do this

00:24:10.580 and and we haven't been doing it by allowing this shell game to occur our we're spending more in

00:24:16.100 medicaid the inflation rate on medicaid expenses exceeds health inflation so which which was mind-blowing

00:24:23.380 to me that this and it's because of this shell game to me that's unsustainable we are driving up

00:24:30.500 through medicaid and the shell game we're driving up the costs for all of health care for everyone even

00:24:36.260 privately because because as you know when when the state is paying more and the federal government is

00:24:41.620 paying more it rises the cost for everybody else so i think that we have to close this if we're going

00:24:48.980 to get a handle on health care inflation and particularly the inflation rates for medicaid

00:24:55.700 so congressman burleson you're full maga you come from one you represent one of the most maga districts in

00:25:01.940 the country uh when the president calls you calls you on tuesday night or wednesday and says uh burleson

00:25:09.460 i need your vote here i understand everything with medicaid but i want to get this done we get it put to

00:25:14.100 bed what is your give us a give us give the audience a preview what's your response

00:25:19.780 my response is going to be mr president the american people love you my district loves you and they love

00:25:25.460 your efforts to balance the budget and that has been a campaign pledge that we're going to get on that

00:25:31.220 direction to balancing the budget this actually um is is the achilles tendon in this whole plan and it

00:25:38.900 will jeopardize your legacy you and your ability to be able to bring this back to physical fiscal

00:25:45.380 solvency do you think house leadership has has uh has the speaker been forthright with the president

00:25:52.900 what really the issues are and how it rolls down to the math and how it shows up in the wall street

00:25:57.700 journals analysis have have do you think they've been forthcoming to the president you think the

00:26:01.460 president has all the facts in front of him i i really don't know because i don't know about those

00:26:06.660 internal conversations but i do think that i hope that the president is able to listen to folks like

00:26:13.940 myself and look we we just had the bond rating increase and and when moody's raised the the bond

00:26:22.500 rating on the united or lowered the bond rating on the united states they in their explanation they

00:26:28.660 recognized the reconciliation bill and the solutions within it and still rate it's lowered

00:26:34.020 the bond rating and as a result you're seeing it in the market you're seeing um you know money move

00:26:40.580 away from us debt and i think that if we don't if we don't turn this around then we're going to end

00:26:46.820 up in a debt spiral at some point um the dollar will mean nothing the money in your bank accounts

00:26:52.980 will be nothing uh your retirement funds will mean nothing and i don't want to be the legislator

00:26:58.820 that that oversaw the complete demise of the u.s dollar congressman burleson where do people your

00:29:53.700 okay we're here we've got a big announcement we're bringing david bozel uh david media research center

00:29:59.300 which is one of the foundational building blocks in conservative media uh you are going to take over

00:30:05.940 as president what a week from uh tomorrow is that correct sir yes sir yes sir thank you general

00:30:11.620 band for having me appreciate it david talk to us about mrc what's your plans your dad is a legend

00:30:19.060 uh just yeah just a fantastic guy i think he's going to go now being baby was going to take over

00:30:23.780 the global media platform but since they're taking that apart he's going to be ambassador

00:30:27.700 to south africa talk about your plans for the future mrc yeah tough assignment for my father the

00:30:34.420 president nominated him nominated him to be uh ambassador to south africa uh he needed a bulldog in there my

00:30:39.940 father's certainly one of those as we all know uh taking over mrc this would be a lot easier if mrc was

00:30:45.860 a downtrodden operation but uh as you mentioned it is a vanguard in this space it's an institution

00:30:52.180 in the conservative media space and uh it my father and his team i think when they started 1987 gave this

00:30:59.860 is how i sort of calculate like who's a creative genius in our world they gave us something that we

00:31:05.140 didn't know we had to have which was the absolute proof to prove that these guys uh were not just

00:31:11.220 liberal in their bias uh but they were they engaged in character assassination they outright tried to

00:31:17.220 erase us uh from history so you know my dad in his in his righteous catholic rage you know the kind of

00:31:23.300 rage that you need to start a non-profit solely to prove that dan rather was lying and he was uh and dan

00:31:30.260 rather was fired for it uh but he's going to be moving on to south africa and mrc is they've welcomed

00:31:35.220 me with open arms i've grown up around it as you might imagine i've kind of joked with people that

00:31:40.340 have grown up in cpac green rooms uh you know since i was a kid so i'm excited for the opportunity

00:31:46.180 uh we're going to get a little bit faster a little bit more real time uh and uh as the media evolves

00:31:52.180 we're going to evolve with it talking about media evolving two things number one the the artificial

00:31:58.580 intelligence but also this scandal like over the weekend you've got the herd tapes uh you've got

00:32:05.140 now this the cancer cover-up you gotta you've got you're stepping into it in the beginning of i would

00:32:11.860 argue a scandal that dwarfs watergate and particularly on the cover-up side of not simply the media but

00:32:18.420 people in the praetorian guard in the deep state at the same time you've got this revolution in

00:32:24.100 artificial intelligence i don't think people are fully grasping how powerful this is going to be

00:32:28.820 your thoughts sir yeah well i i read a the name escapes me but i read a column by a futurist

00:32:34.740 who was talking about ai and he said over the weekend he said every child in america is going

00:32:40.100 to have their own there's something that'll scare people will have their own personal ai assistant

00:32:45.780 that will have limitless ability to teach your child anything that the child wants to learn with

00:32:52.340 limitless compassion limitless knowledge base and limitless time now you can just the the mind races

00:33:00.340 with with the positive and the negative of that statement but i believe it to be true uh i i think

00:33:06.340 i've long asserted that 2024 what might have been the last election that was dominated by an authentic

00:33:16.180 candidate that that that you know i think i really do believe particularly on the democrat side who

00:33:22.020 really lack authenticity across the board uh they're going to be trying to utilize ai to talk to the

00:33:28.500 american people and the media research center is going to be the tip of the spear and clawing that out

00:33:32.900 discovering it researching it finding you know uh uh tracking it uh we're going to have you know real

00:33:39.620 time dashboards all those types of things going into the future so it's an exciting dangerous

00:33:45.940 challenging time for the for for the movement in that we have this artificial apparatus that is going

00:33:52.740 to be essentially reporting the news of the moment and and and who and how the public and who where do

00:34:00.260 they go is it grok is a gemini is it is a chat is it another entity uh this weekend's stories

00:34:07.700 are just exhibit a of this kind of thing uh the jay tapper book is the most egregious attempt at

00:34:14.260 revisionist history that i've seen in quite some time not only did these guys uh uh fail to pursue

00:34:22.580 the story about joe biden and and whether or not he had you know the cognitive abilities to perform

00:34:28.100 his duty as a president but time and again and the lord trump interview is the most famous but time

00:34:33.940 and again you and every one of the conservative media apparatus who tried to point this out were

00:34:39.700 chastised demonized censored um for the better part of the last three to four years when we try to call

00:34:47.540 out joe biden's cognitive decline and once again you know point for the conspiracy theories we were right

00:34:54.660 and they were wrong is mrc under your guidance are you going to be the forefront of this investigation

00:35:02.260 because the investigation has to happen if the house doesn't do it or doj i mean the conservative

00:35:07.540 media axelrod saying no no no you have to mute everything down you have to stand down because

00:35:12.900 of the cancer because of cancer revelations your thoughts well listen uh to the extent that mrc as

00:35:19.460 a c3 can can be involved in calling for house investigations uh uh whether you know we we can work

00:35:25.940 with fcc fec we're going to do it uh we're going to take that up to the absolute line every step of the

00:35:32.100 the way uh this is like you said one of the most egregious scandals particularly in in the media's

00:35:38.020 history uh they they covered up for this administration they turned a blind eye to what

00:35:44.100 they saw time and time again in their daily routine they knew it was happening and for them

00:35:50.820 to uh to you know to give us the hooker with a heart of gold routine and say well it's all i mean

00:35:56.740 tapper's one of them chuck todd is another one he is on a media blitz on social media trying to defend

00:36:05.780 his precious institution called the legacy press and he can't he has really no ground to stand on

00:36:11.620 so we're going to be the tip of the spear on all these things david where do people go to get mrc

00:36:17.540 to see everything uh all the changes you're going to put in uh it's already pretty good anyway and also

00:36:22.260 your social media where they go to follow this uh mrc.org is a flagship is a mothership website

00:36:27.220 i've got a fresh new design uh uh coming out today uh my twitter handle my x handle is david bozell

00:36:33.700 uh the mrc is the x handle for for media research center and newsbusters those guys are the spine of

00:36:39.860 the whole ship yeah you guys are great uh your uh your father is a legend and uh and and you're gonna

00:36:48.740 you're gonna kill it uh anything we can do to assist you guys let us know just fantastic glad uh

00:36:54.100 glad the energy and the and the focus there because we're gonna go through some pretty choppy water here

00:36:58.340 over the next two years i can tell you yeah and we get this bill that's coming up and uh that'll be

00:37:03.860 dicey i heard you talking about it before the break that'll be a dicey proposition i hope something gets

00:37:08.980 through these guys have promised the american people time and again that they're going to cut the

00:37:14.100 size of government now is the opportunity now's the opportunity david bozell thank you very much

00:37:20.180 congratulations godspeed thanks steve appreciate it mrc uh grace and mo let's make sure we push all

00:37:28.020 of that if you if it's not on one of your it's not on your daily diet of where you go for your media

00:37:33.220 every day you ought to check it out it's fantastic great videos great reporting fantastic crew david bozell

00:37:39.140 taking over as president a week from tomorrow i guess they're going to give memorial day off we'll

00:37:44.660 have more about our memorial day we're going to do our memorial day special with patrick k o'donnell

00:37:50.180 as we always do it'll be i think on saturday we've got to figure out probably saturday

00:37:55.460 we'll figure all this out in the next couple of days um let me go back to um

00:38:02.660 the situation with the bill and also with the biden situation um if you look at the three big verticals

00:38:08.740 president trump has the ending the kinetic part of the third world war and i don't think we've

00:38:12.740 seen yet on social media that that call is is over or at least i haven't been able to see it here

00:38:18.180 at the command post um with putin if you look at then the judicial insurrection which i believe

00:38:27.620 has to be dealt with before the supreme court leaves at the end of june for their summer break

00:38:31.780 um and that is the one that they're trying to chop block president trump the one in the middle

00:38:38.100 which is getting the the the economy you know the tax cuts the economy the supply side tax cuts the

00:38:44.980 spending all of it done with a financing plan on top of that how we're going to finance this mess

00:38:50.340 because that's what it is now these are all going to be the lasting legacy of president trump and hey

00:38:56.180 i mean the guy's got a call he's gonna have to have whip votes this this week i mean they're

00:38:59.540 dependent on president trump and the white house to do everything where he's got i think kind of his

00:39:03.300 hands full coming back from a historic uh you know trip to the middle east that you're not even able

00:39:09.620 to take a day to absorb because there's so much other stuff coming on but it gets back to the biden

00:39:13.780 situation and this is that other that other uh angle of attack is that the administrative state and

00:39:20.500 the deep state and the administrative state part of it attacked by doge although we haven't gotten

00:39:26.660 the cuts yet some of that's in the this budget the reconciliation others are going to come from

00:39:32.740 rescission we need to see that um because the administrative state i think 122 000 employees

00:39:41.700 are gone but that's of two and a half to almost three million i think civilians so more of that has to

00:39:46.660 come although if you cut every employee out i think now i don't think it includes contracts and employees

00:39:52.980 would be uh 322 about 325 billion dollars think if you added contractors on top of that you might get

00:40:01.220 north of four maybe even half a trillion so you're not going to solve all your problem you get rid of

00:40:05.700 everybody might solve other problems but you're not going to solve you're not going to solve the um

00:40:11.140 the cost problem the cost is what we got to get our hands around and right now i just don't think all the

00:40:17.940 numbers are out there uh and president trump like like andy harris said he said hey there's enough

00:40:23.620 votes now not to pass it so and in passing it and this is what johnson has to keep in mind it has to be

00:40:30.900 done right because this just like in 17 that that cut led to the very successful um 19 economy that was only

00:40:41.700 thwarted by the pandemic by the wuhan lab by the chinese communist party releasing it oh by the way

00:40:49.300 i don't know if we've seen a formal inquiry into that to my point the deep state the administrative

00:40:54.740 part state part is a work in progress it's not going to happen overnight it's a work in progress

00:40:59.940 but the deep state part i'm not sure is underway at all what we do know is that we've had uh john

00:41:06.740 ratcliffe at ca tell people there they're not going to let politicals uh get rid of it there's

00:41:12.820 a thousand going to burn off over time but they're not going to get rid of any any of the people over

00:41:17.540 the cia looks like tulsi gabbard's trying she fired the people that leaked the national intelligence

00:41:24.820 estimate that said we don't the venezuelans didn't invade the country they leaked that to try to chop

00:41:30.820 block president trump in the courts she got rid of them john brennan had a meltdown

00:41:34.740 but we haven't seen and and dan in um in cash one of maria i think for seven minutes yesterday

00:41:43.780 and gave an interview i think they had a lot of good information there and things are going on

00:41:48.180 they're saying you're going to see come to fruition i believe they also addressed

00:41:51.940 that they're going to get essentially everybody out of the the headquarters in washington dc that

00:41:57.780 horrible building they're going to get them out and um and move on but right now this

00:42:04.660 week is going to be a monumental week for president trump and the mega movement and that is to try to

00:42:10.740 get the big beautiful bill the reconciliation bill moved through so it can be voted on and passed on to

00:42:18.100 the senate that'll be a monumental thing but that is going to be a foundational element in going forward

00:42:23.300 with president trump's legacy the direction of the country this is why i say the on june 15th is the

00:42:29.060 10-year anniversary of coming down the golden escalator in uh in trump tower that kind of kicked this

00:42:36.340 thing off that 10 years everything up to date is kind of a preamble for the convergence of these crises

00:42:43.860 in the way president trump works through these crises and sets this constitutional republic back on

00:42:50.020 a stable foundation both constitutionally uh national security wise also with uh setting right
