00:00:00.000 PD, our local PD, to protect our own National Guard because they're being used upon.
00:00:06.320 Show some decency, show some humanity.
00:00:09.920 More importantly, act like the commander-in-chief.
00:00:13.560 This chaos is manufactured, and it's my job as governor, working with local law enforcement, to clean up their mess.
00:00:20.860 I can't emphasize enough the level of fear and terror that is in Angelenos right now.
00:00:27.400 He talked about violent criminal.
00:00:30.000 You go from a drug dealer to chasing people through the parking lot of a Home Depot where there's day laborers working. 0.76
00:00:37.820 This entire situation is what leaves us believing that we're being used as a test case.
00:00:42.800 F*** you! 1.00
00:00:46.280 F*** you! 1.00
00:00:47.120 F*** you! 1.00
00:00:48.620 F*** you! 1.00
00:00:55.620 F*** you! 1.00
00:00:57.620 F*** you! 1.00
00:01:01.620 F*** you! 1.00
00:01:03.620 F*** you! 1.00
00:01:07.620 The response of the American people to it has been exactly what you'd think.
00:01:20.600 I mean, bigger protests than ever in Los Angeles.
00:01:23.540 The solidarity protests that I just listed all day Sunday in all those cities all across the country.
00:01:28.280 Today, solidarity protests, solidarity protests in Atlanta, across the street from Atlanta's immigration court building.
00:01:34.940 Solidary protests today in Baltimore.
00:01:37.560 Solidary protests today in Boston and also in Chicago.
00:01:41.980 In Tampa, Florida today, there was a huge solidarity protest.
00:01:46.080 In Raleigh, North Carolina.
00:01:47.420 In Washington, D.C. today, there were protests outside the Justice Department headquarters.
00:01:54.700 You know, and when people stand up and protest, what we are learning over and over again in this administration is that protest works.
00:02:03.820 And one of the ways that it works is that it puts steel in the spine of the political opposition in this country.
00:02:14.700 For elected Democrats, it clarifies things for them.
00:02:18.420 It shows them that the more they themselves push back as elected officials, the more support they will have from their own constituents.
00:02:26.120 And so it's sort of virtuous circle, right?
00:02:30.100 Amid this primal surge of protests, this moral revulsion and rejection of what Trump is doing.
00:02:37.200 I mean, you see the elected Democrats stepping up and standing up, too.
00:02:42.180 When the context of the massive military parade that Donald Trump is throwing for himself in Washington, D.C.
00:02:49.080 This coming weekend to mark his birthday, as well as the anniversary, the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army, Donald Trump craves and always has craved sort of militarized shows of force.
00:03:00.780 That is endemic to who he is as a political figure.
00:03:05.540 He wants to surround himself with shows of force and strength.
00:03:09.040 And he was shocked and furious to find that many military leaders in his first term didn't share his views of the politicization of the military that Donald Trump had in mind for his presidency.
00:03:23.300 This time around, he's finding it much easier to have his demands met.
00:03:27.620 He is a different kind of defense secretary in Pete Hegseth.
00:03:30.560 He's already fired his first chairman of the Joint Chiefs.
00:03:34.100 And he has the ability now to create these spectacles almost on demand.
00:03:38.960 And I anticipate that he will continue to do so.
00:04:04.100 And I anticipate that he will continue to do so.
00:04:34.080 He will continue to override the rights of the state in terms of making its own decisions.
00:04:38.800 And in this case, he chose to send it to the National Guard.
00:04:41.580 That's a mess.
00:04:42.320 I come from Richmond, Virginia.
00:04:44.040 So I know something about states' rights.
00:04:46.660 And Gavin Newsom is acting like a neoconfederate right now.
00:04:50.120 The federal government has every availability to do what they did to federalize National Guards,
00:04:56.000 particularly if they think of the commander in chief thinks that something's not being handled properly.
00:05:00.480 And that's what the president did.
00:05:01.640 Our argument today on the show is that he should double and triple down today with ICE raids.
00:05:07.820 I mean, we've had an invasion of this country just on Biden's watch of 10 to 13 million illegal alien invaders.
00:05:14.960 And they all have to go home, not just the criminals.
00:05:17.400 Every person that came here on Biden's watch has to be deported.
00:05:20.800 And that's what they're trying to stop now with people like Mayor Bass and Gavin Newsom.
00:05:26.460 And it's absolutely the prerogative of the president as commander in chief to do what he did.
00:05:31.340 So in what way is the situation that we've seen just in the last couple of days in Los Angeles,
00:05:36.500 an invasion or a rebellion as described in the piece of law that the president has referred to?
00:05:41.260 Well, there's been an invasion.
00:05:43.420 But specifically over this weekend.
00:05:45.260 People all agreed that 13 million people came.
00:05:46.800 What you had is ICE agents during their normal raids to basically get people to deport them out of the country.
00:05:52.620 And this was stopped.
00:05:53.660 This was stopped by this mob.
00:05:55.280 This is what was surrounding the ICE headquarters.
00:05:57.680 Couldn't let ICE out.
00:05:58.760 And the local LAPD didn't really intervene.
00:06:01.960 You know, over the last two days, the LAPD has kind of stood down.
00:06:04.540 There's going to be a red line for everyone that's not to deploy U.S. forces domestically here.
00:06:13.060 It's clear that Donald Trump is tearing this country apart.
00:06:17.040 He's pitting American citizens against one another.
00:06:19.820 The National Guard men and women who have been deployed to the streets of Los Angeles,
00:06:23.180 they're citizens of California.
00:06:25.040 I'm sure they don't like the idea that they have to fulfill their obligations as National Guard people.
00:06:30.720 You know, despite the recommendations, the strong recommendation of the governor and the mayor,
00:06:34.320 not to do that.
00:06:36.020 But Donald Trump is determined to have this confrontation and provoke confrontation.
00:06:41.900 And that's why just listening to Mike Johnson basically say it's okay to deploy U.S. military
00:06:47.220 forces domestically here against American citizens.
00:06:51.200 I mean, just after 120 days or so of this administration, I can just, you know, imagine where it's going to go
00:06:57.840 over the next 120 days and over the next three and a half years.
00:07:00.860 And I'm hoping that there's going to be individuals of principle in the Republican Party who are going to say enough is enough.
00:07:08.240 But, you know, I've lost faith in so many of them who have just been willing to give Donald Trump everything he wants,
00:07:15.740 again, irrespective of law and order, irrespective of the Constitution, irrespective of common sense,
00:07:21.380 and irrespective of what keeps this country together, which is the people that keep us together.
00:07:26.280 And again, I think Donald Trump is going down this road intentionally, again, to try to provoke these types of confrontations.
00:07:32.340 That's going to go nowhere good.
00:07:34.280 Immigrant voters, foreign-born voters, have gone tremendously to the right on this issue in 2024 and 2025 versus where they were in 2020.
00:07:42.480 Closest to her trust more in immigration.
00:07:44.120 You go back to 2020.
00:07:45.280 Democrats, get this, held a 32-point lead on this issue.
00:07:49.240 Immigrant voters were in the Democratic camp.
00:07:51.540 Jump forward to 2024, 2025.
00:07:53.580 Look at that shift.
00:07:54.560 A 40-point shift to the right among immigrant voters.
00:07:59.620 Republicans now lead on this issue by eight points over Democrats, more so than any other group that I could find.
00:08:07.040 The group of voters who became more hawkish on immigration were, in fact, immigrants themselves, immigrants who are registered to vote in this country.
00:08:15.860 Now that folk have their red meat, now that they're going to see the spectacle of, quote-unquote, L.A. on fire, which it's not, right, what will happen? 0.73
00:08:25.140 Will he activate the ugliness that got him in office in the first place?
00:08:29.100 Will folk now declare why they love him?
00:08:31.440 Because we know that he's always good on the immigration question.
00:08:34.740 And then the second thing, this reminds me historically of the, it's not a clear analogy, but when the nation, when these political factions divided the nation between slaveholders and slave catchers.
00:08:48.740 When they made everybody with the fugitive slave law, all of us had to, if someone escaped, all of us had to return that particular piece of property to these folk.
00:08:57.760 With ICE running around L.A., forcing people to make choices, will they protect their friends, their neighbors, their family members?
00:09:05.220 Will they take, will they confront these folk and they're terrorized?
00:09:08.960 I'm sitting here trying to figure out, all right, what will the country stomach?
00:09:15.400 Are they going to allow this man to do this?
00:09:17.420 And the answer that I keep coming to is yes.
00:09:21.600 Say more.
00:09:22.100 I don't know what else to say.
00:09:25.400 It, it, it, how can I, here's the thing.
00:09:28.160 Donald Trump, as a political charlatan of sorts, gives Americans license to be who they really are.
00:09:36.060 They don't have to pretend.
00:09:39.140 And when you see what they really are, who they really are, these people who support him, right, it's dark.
00:09:46.600 I guess my whole specifics of what we saw over the weekend.
00:09:52.140 You just asked me, so where was the violence?
00:09:54.360 What did your eyes tell you?
00:09:55.400 Did you watch the footage?
00:09:56.360 I did, but what I'm saying to you is some of, not all, some of those protesting are U.S. citizens.
00:10:01.660 My colleagues on the ground have spoken to them.
00:10:04.300 That's fine, but if they're breaking the law, they're breaking the law, should be arrested.
00:10:07.700 But I just want to get to the thinking.
00:10:09.740 What's your point?
00:10:10.140 I want to get to the thinking behind this and what Pete Hegg said is saying, because it's interesting for our viewers to see this.
00:10:15.720 If you have U.S. Marines in California around protesters, does that not move America to a different point?
00:10:23.580 It's not protesters.
00:10:25.400 See, this is what you guys try to do with your language all the time.
00:10:28.340 That's not a protest.
00:10:29.580 That was a riot, okay?
00:10:31.480 They're interfering with folks that are being deported out of this country.
00:10:35.520 They are breaking the law and they're rioting.
00:10:37.200 They shut down Los Angeles for like 18 hours yesterday.
00:10:40.320 That's not a protest.
00:10:41.700 Nobody's saying about peaceful protests if you want to come to protest.
00:10:43.900 They intervene with ICE agents doing their job.
00:10:47.100 Certainly you should call up the Marines in the U.S. Army if you have to.
00:10:50.800 Or activate the reserve, the Army Reserve.
00:10:54.420 Federalizing the National Guard is just step one.
00:10:57.380 But folks have to understand, and particularly BBC ought to embrace this, this is not going to stop.
00:11:02.000 We're going to do this.
00:11:02.920 And I'll be blunt, this should have been done in England a long time ago.
00:11:06.140 You guys should have stood up to the fact of the problem you've got with illegal mass migration.
00:11:11.500 This is what has to happen.
00:11:13.020 All you're saying, you have to have a country.
00:11:14.860 You have to have borders.
00:11:15.760 You have to have your sovereignty.
00:11:17.200 And President Trump has the American people in back of him.
00:11:19.460 He won the national election.
00:11:21.020 The polling right now is overwhelmingly to support this.
00:11:23.220 They're going to go to federal court, argue it out.
00:11:25.640 We'll see how that plays out.
00:11:26.620 But I will tell you, today in Los Angeles, they're going to double or triple the number of ICE raids they're going to do on this.
00:11:33.340 Now, the only problem I have with ICE raids, they're not arresting CEOs.
00:11:36.440 I think they ought to go into these workplaces and start arresting the white-collar managers. 0.96
00:11:41.080 I hold them just as responsible, or maybe more responsible, than the folks that have the job.
00:11:47.940 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:11:52.840 Pray for our enemies.
00:11:54.060 Because we're going medieval on these people.
00:11:58.100 Here's the reason I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
00:12:02.360 The people have had a belly full of it.
00:12:04.280 I know you don't like hearing that.
00:12:05.720 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
00:12:08.380 It's going to happen.
00:12:09.660 And where do people like that go to share the big line?
00:12:13.060 Mega media.
00:12:14.420 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:12:19.780 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:12:22.960 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:12:29.880 War Room.
00:12:30.800 Here's your host, Stephen K.
00:12:32.880 Bannon.
00:12:33.220 It's Tuesday, 10 June, Year of Your Lord, 2025.
00:12:40.060 I want to thank the Real America's Voice crew in Denver and Parker, and particularly my producer Cameron this morning.
00:12:47.080 That was a work of art.
00:12:49.000 That was a perfect arc of exactly where we stand and what the two sides are.
00:12:52.900 One is for law and order and to get our sovereignty back, right?
00:12:57.420 And I hate to say it, you've got to press the bet today.
00:13:03.120 Holman, and I love Tom Holman, but a strong recommendation.
00:13:06.840 Tom, you know, we didn't want Pam Bondi to be a co-host over there at Fox, get back in the Justice Department, and let's start indicting people. 1.00
00:13:14.620 Let's start arresting people.
00:13:16.600 Tom, enough TV.
00:13:18.340 We got it.
00:13:18.940 We got the message.
00:13:20.080 It's laid out right there.
00:13:21.860 President Trump's going to Fort Bragg today.
00:13:24.280 He's going to Fort Bragg.
00:13:26.360 Our own Brian Glenn's going to be with him.
00:13:30.180 Today in Los Angeles and throughout the country, because Dallas and San Antonio, other places are going to light up, the ice should triple down today in L.A.
00:13:40.480 And I didn't like, Tom, I love you, but I don't like, you know, Peter Schweitzer, the great Peter Schweitzer, you're saying, hey, that wasn't about an ice raid, that we're doing some money laundering, we're stopping cartels.
00:13:49.980 Don't apologize.
00:13:52.080 All 10 million have to go.
00:13:54.640 Not just the criminals in the insane asylum.
00:13:56.840 This is what Bass and Newsom are whining about.
00:14:00.860 If you're here illegally, you're going to go back to your home. 1.00
00:14:04.780 And if ICE has to enforce that, it has to enforce it.
00:14:06.960 We hope most people just pack up and leave.
00:14:10.480 But this is righteous.
00:14:13.680 Cleaning up this mess.
00:14:16.020 The Democrats are on the wrong side of this.
00:14:17.980 Look at Harry Enten.
00:14:18.780 We can play much more of Harry Enten sitting there going, this is absolutely the issue the United States wants.
00:14:26.240 They want their sovereignty back.
00:14:27.160 You know who wants it?
00:14:28.780 Hispanics, citizens, and African-American citizens.
00:14:33.040 They want these festering sores of these big cities like Los Angeles cleaned up.
00:14:38.200 The schools cleaned up.
00:14:39.320 The medical system cleaned up.
00:14:41.700 The law and order in the neighborhoods cleaned up.
00:14:44.240 And the way you do that is to deport 10 million illegal alien, wait for it, invaders. 0.99
00:14:51.380 And at the same time, let's get Mayorkas and Biden and the entire crowd arrest them.
00:14:57.040 This July, there is a global summit of BRICS nations in Rio de Janeiro, the block of emerging superpowers, including China, Russia, India, and Persia, are meeting with the goal of displacing the United States dollar as the global currency.
00:15:15.160 They're calling this the Rio reset.
00:15:18.160 As BRICS nations push forward with their plans, global demand for U.S. dollars will decrease, bringing down the value of the dollar in your savings.
00:15:26.540 While this transition won't not happen overnight, but trust me, it's going to start in Rio.
00:15:33.420 The Rio reset in July marks a pivotal moment when BRICS objectives move decisively from a theoretical possibility towards an inevitable reality.

00:18:27.860 And 800-873-1062, the most sought-after promo code ever.
00:18:33.320 You guys have been great.
00:18:34.320 Thank you.
00:18:34.720 Promo code War Room, I'm going to go finish my testimony, and we're testifying.
00:18:39.580 Thank you, Steve.
00:18:40.640 I gave you the watchword yesterday, and you delivered.
00:18:43.200 With your shield or on your shield, Mike Lindell, go forth and conquer.
00:18:48.720 Mike Lindell.
00:18:49.440 Thanks.
00:18:50.200 Thank you.
00:18:50.800 It's all on the line.
00:18:52.040 MyPillow 2.
00:18:52.840 Goes to the jury later in the week.
00:18:54.880 We'll give you coverage nonstop.
00:18:57.180 I want to play Harry Ente.
00:18:58.440 I got Burquam in the streets of L.A., so just make sure you understand the big picture here.
00:19:03.660 The overwhelming show of force is what broke this riot and sent them all home, right?
00:19:08.220 Otherwise, you had L.A. burning for a week and CNN saying, oh, look at this.
00:19:11.880 They're just so frustrated.
00:19:13.840 But this is just the predicate.
00:19:16.040 The key is to get back.
00:19:17.760 The ICE agents need to get back into the streets today in a massive show of force and rounding people up and deporting them back to their home countries.
00:19:26.860 Do it humanely.
00:19:28.600 Do it.
00:19:29.280 And make sure that you do it in an appropriate manner.
00:19:32.540 But it's got to be done.
00:19:33.820 Let's go.
00:19:34.120 I'm going to play Harry Enten one more time.
00:19:35.920 I've got McGinley here in-house.
00:19:37.980 And we've got on the streets of Los Angeles our own Ben Burquam.
00:19:41.140 Let's play Harry Enten one more time.
00:19:42.840 Immigrant voters, foreign-born voters, have gone tremendously to the right on this issue in 2024 and 2025 versus where they were in 2020.
00:19:51.100 Closest to or trust more in immigration. 0.98
00:19:52.660 You go back to 2020.
00:19:53.520 Democrats, get this, held a 32-point lead on this issue.
00:19:57.780 Immigrant voters were in the Democratic camp.
00:20:00.040 Jump forward to 2024, 2025.
00:20:02.160 Look at that shift.
00:20:03.140 A 40-point shift to the right among immigrant voters.
00:20:08.160 Republicans now lead on this issue by eight points over Democrats, more so than any other group that I could find.
00:20:15.600 The group of voters who became more hawkish on immigration were, in fact, immigrants themselves, immigrants who are registered to vote in this country.
00:20:24.360 First ran back in 2016.
00:20:26.320 Immigrant voters are one of his weakest box. 1.00
00:20:28.100 But look at this.
00:20:28.700 Trump's vote share in presidential election among, again, immigrant citizens, those who are registered to vote.
00:20:32.780 Look at this.
00:20:33.260 In 2016, he got 36% of the vote.
00:20:35.180 You go to 2020, 39% of the vote.
00:20:37.500 Look at this.
00:20:38.280 In 2024, all the way up to 47% of the vote.
00:20:42.320 Some polls I looked at had him barely losing that vote.
00:20:44.720 Some polls I looked at had him barely winning that vote.
00:20:47.540 Again, there is no block of voters that shifted more to the right from 2020 to 2024 than immigrant voters.
00:20:55.760 And Donald Trump, at least in some surveys, actually won that vote.
00:20:59.120 On average, it's about equal.
00:21:01.240 So there may be all this stuff, right, about undocumented immigrants and Trump being harsh on them.
00:21:05.780 But immigrant voters themselves have increasingly liked Donald Trump and have increasingly moved to the right on immigration into the Republican camp.
00:21:13.380 The net favorable rating, immigrants who are here illegally, among immigrant citizens, again, those registered to vote.
00:21:18.620 In 2020, look at this.
00:21:19.880 Plus 23 points on the net favorable rating.
00:21:22.680 But look at where we were in 2024.
00:21:24.200 Let's go to Ben Burkwam in the streets. 0.93
00:21:25.720 Ben Burkwam in the streets of Los Angeles.
00:21:27.920 Ben, you're reporting.
00:21:29.600 We'll play him later or throughout the day.
00:21:32.000 You've done man-in-the-street interviews of people cleaning up the mess that are immigrants, citizens. 1.00
00:21:36.760 They agree with Harry Enten at CNN?
00:21:40.640 Yeah, yeah.
00:21:41.600 It's funny.
00:21:43.180 Absolutely.
00:21:44.220 Hands down, the immigrant in particular, the legal voting immigrant community in America, this, everything that you're seeing from the Democrats right now, all the defacing of property and attacking of police and law enforcement and ICE, you're just turning them more MAGA.
00:21:58.480 But what we're also seeing, and this was pretty shocking, not so much shocking, but to get them on camera, I was just walking down the streets to get over here today, and we had this crew of guys cleaning off the graffiti.
00:22:08.640 I walk up, and the guy turns to me and says, what does this prove?
00:22:11.620 And I walk over, and he just starts giving me an interview.
00:22:13.580 I walk further down to the Walt Disney Concert Hall, a historic landmark here in Los Angeles.
00:22:18.720 It's got graffiti all over it.
00:22:20.060 There's this woman across the street shaking her head. 0.99
00:22:22.440 Same thing.
00:22:22.960 I just start filming her.
00:22:23.800 She starts talking.
00:22:24.500 She even said, I would generally be sympathetic to their cause, but when you do stuff like this, you're turning the people off.
00:22:32.400 Those were her words.
00:22:33.540 Wait till you see the interview.
00:22:35.000 This is not just turning off the immigrant community, the black American community who feel like they've been abandoned by the Democrats.
00:22:40.740 This is turning off the liberal white Democrat base.
00:22:44.740 So keep it up, Democrats.
00:22:45.980 I mean, I don't know whose strategy this is, but it's working for MAGA.
00:22:50.220 I'll tell you that.
00:22:50.780 You've got the Walton family.
00:22:53.240 There's all kind of things.
00:22:53.920 Hang on for a second, Ben.
00:22:54.900 Stay right there or come back to you.
00:22:56.100 McGinley, you're from L.A.
00:22:58.720 You know the city.
00:22:59.820 I want to – the illegal immigrant community has their schools destroyed, their health care destroyed. 1.00
00:23:05.840 Trump's their savior.
00:23:06.860 That's what he's coming in and trying to do.
00:23:08.080 Is he not?
00:23:08.700 Yeah.
00:23:09.020 I mean, it's one of the reasons that they came to this country in the first place was so it's rule of law, not men, right?
00:23:14.300 One of the basic civics lessons that we all had growing up is that the United States is ruled by laws, not men.
00:23:22.040 We don't want subjective standards.
00:23:23.440 And if you look at what Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass are doing, they're basically saying we're going to selectively decide which laws are going to be enforced and which ones are not.
00:23:32.340 That is a personal decision for them.
00:23:34.200 And under our federalist system, federal law trumps state law.
00:23:39.420 It occupies the field under the supremacy clause.
00:23:42.280 And the court cases are telling you that the federal government, meaning the president of the United States, based upon the authority that the Congress has given him by statute, bicameralism and presentment, has the authority to do this.
00:23:53.700 ICE should follow the law.
00:23:55.380 They should go and get the warrants for some of these folks, but they should also enforce the immigration laws.
00:23:59.920 But a lot of times you don't need the warrants.
00:24:01.420 Yeah, no, that's what I'm saying.
00:24:02.740 You should enforce the immigration laws without the warrants. 0.88
00:24:06.140 But basically they should follow the law.
00:24:07.960 They're going to have the support of the community.
00:24:10.280 They may not have the support of Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom, but that's OK because everybody is looking at what they're doing with the people who are throwing cinder blocks at police officers, at law enforcement.
00:24:21.680 Well, let's talk about that.
00:24:22.700 Let's talk about this.
00:24:23.660 There's obviously pre-stage.
00:24:25.120 You have bricks.
00:24:25.580 You have cinder blocks, all of it.
00:24:26.720 You had the Watts riots in the mid-60s.
00:24:30.080 You then had the Rodney King in 92, I think, now today.
00:24:35.160 And President Trump, what has changed?
00:24:37.360 Because President Trump has had a massive show of federalized National Guard.
00:24:41.880 He's got a battalion of Marines coming up.
00:24:44.200 I think he's put another 2,000 National Guard.
00:24:46.520 He's thinking about Army Reserve.
00:24:48.000 He's going to Fort Bragg today as a show of force.
00:24:50.340 Why is LAPD, like over the weekend, and I kind of feel for these guys, the front-line guys, because a little bit looks like they're forced to play namby-pamby.
00:24:59.700 There were virtually no arrests, right?
00:25:01.520 In San Francisco, they had 142 arrests.
00:25:04.740 In L.A., virtually nothing.
00:25:05.880 What's going on?
00:25:06.540 Yeah, because the rank-and-file in LAPD and the L.A. County Sheriff deputies don't have the support of the political leaders in the county and the city.
00:25:14.460 Even into the police chain of command?
00:25:16.480 Yeah, I think some of those guys are trying their best to support the rank-and-file, but if you talk to the rank-and-file, and I have friends who were part of the rank-and-file and still talk to some of them, a lot of them are demoralized.
00:25:27.240 A lot of them don't want to risk anything because they know that the city, the county, and the state are not going to back them up.
00:25:32.680 When you have some of these folks who are trying to cause physical harm and property damage, they want to enforce the law.
00:25:38.220 They want to get them off the streets.
00:25:39.800 Why?
00:25:40.380 Because the overwhelming majority of Angelenos and Californians are good people.
00:25:44.660 They're hard-working people.
00:25:45.760 They're working multiple jobs just to be able to afford to stay in California because of all the taxes that Gavin Newsom and Karen Batts are imposing on them, whether it's $8 gas or anything else.
00:25:56.760 These people just want to live their lives and raise their kids and have their small business.
00:26:00.940 Unless you take care of the illegal alien situation, you're not going to be able to get the schools back up to standard. 0.99
00:26:07.900 You're not going to be – the medical system there is destroyed.
00:26:10.400 The schools are destroyed.
00:26:12.020 The law and order of the neighborhoods are destroyed.
00:26:13.640 And the reason is you have – I think they're talking about in L.A.
00:26:16.920 maybe a million or two million illegal aliens.
00:26:19.280 Until you sort that problem out, the working-class Hispanic citizens and working-class African-American citizens – because, first off, it suppresses wages so hard. 1.00
00:26:29.900 This is why the elites in L.A., the Gavin Newsoms of the world, love illegal aliens because they get their grass cut cheaper, their nannies, all of it.
00:26:38.200 The people doing the yards – and the wages drop for everybody in the working-class area.
00:26:45.000 But all these hardworking people have been living with a crime-ridden city for a long time.
00:26:49.960 People forget about that they basically declared, we're not going to prosecute people who steal items valued just under $1,000.
00:26:59.140 You're coming off of the era where they had Gascon as the L.A.D.A., who acted more like a criminal defense attorney as opposed to a prosecutor to protect the citizens and get violent criminals.
00:27:10.020 Whenever the L.A.P.D. and the sheriffs were bringing these folks in and booking them, the prosecutors were processing them right back out onto the street.
00:27:18.120 So on the heels of that – now, they have a new L.A.D.A. who's better.
00:27:22.560 Right, right.
00:27:22.920 Who's better.
00:27:23.720 But I don't think he's good enough.
00:27:25.120 I think he needs to take a harder line on the violent crime.
00:27:28.500 And I think L.A.P.D. needs to know that the political leadership has their back, which Bass does not.
00:27:33.380 I think that the L.A. County Sheriff's Department needs to know that the political leadership has their back.
00:27:40.040 And Gavin Newsom, right, to me, my question for Gavin Newsom, how much property needs to be damaged?
00:27:46.000 How much property needs to be destroyed?
00:27:48.300 How many people need to be injured?
00:27:50.320 How many people have to die before you would call in the National Guard and do the right thing?
00:27:55.120 What is the trigger for you to restore law and order and actually enforce the law in the state of California and in Los Angeles?
00:28:02.900 He has yet to answer that.
00:28:04.360 We've got McGinley, Angeleno in the house.
00:28:07.420 We've got Ben Berkham on the streets.
00:28:09.600 Jim Rickards, the geopolitical strategist.
00:28:12.360 This is an aspect of the Third World War.
00:28:14.200 And also, he's going to join us, and Chris Moritz, who knows something about the failed state of California.
00:28:22.340 All next in the war room.
00:28:27.120 There's something happening with our farmland here in the United States that isn't getting enough attention.
00:28:32.120 The Chinese have been buying up hundreds of thousands of acres of U.S. farmland. 0.99
00:28:38.080 They're also taking control over critical supply chains, things like fertilizer, animal feed, and farming equipment.
00:28:44.760 Why?
00:28:45.580 It's not clear.
00:28:47.160 They're tightening their grip on global food production.
00:28:50.800 That is clear.
00:28:51.800 And if things go south and it can happen quickly, we need to be ready.
00:28:58.240 That's why I trust MyPatriotSupply.

00:30:07.040 Do not let this thing get ahead of you.
00:30:09.420 Here's your host, Stephen K. Band.
00:30:15.260 It's not just the foot soldiers out front, right?
00:30:18.120 It's not the foot soldiers out front.
00:30:19.700 And to talk about narrative control, CNN did not even show the press conference with Bass last night.
00:30:23.900 They understand that's a loser.
00:30:26.340 How do we get to the bottom of how this thing's organized?
00:30:29.400 There's another huge thing financed by the Walton family and all these billionaires.
00:30:34.640 We'll get some names here in a minute.
00:30:35.860 But why is the Justice Department not all over this?
00:30:41.000 Why has the FBI cash said, hey, he's going to be doing all this?
00:30:43.920 Why are we not all over the financiers and the people in back of this?
00:30:47.360 We ought to be perp-walking those people out today.
00:30:49.280 Look, I think that after this is done, after they restore order, I would fully expect that the FBI and the Department of Justice is going to take a look at a couple of things.
00:30:59.560 Were these protests financed?
00:31:01.240 If yes, by whom?
00:31:02.340 Was there coordination?
00:31:05.000 Did that coordination involve obstructing federal law enforcement processes and arresting their duties under federal law?
00:31:13.540 And I think that those are going to have to be some hard questions that a lot of people in California, the people who are organizing the protests, but potentially some of these political leaders as well.
00:31:23.100 They passed a $34 million bill to finance it.
00:31:26.520 Burquam, answer McGinley's question.
00:31:29.360 You're on the streets with the prepositioned bricks and the stones.
00:31:32.240 You've been down there with the street level.
00:31:34.940 Is this organized or not, sir?
00:31:38.280 Yeah, from the very top, there is coordination by all these different groups from, you know, now you have this new one, No Kings, but it's all the same groups, Indivisible, the American Socialist Party, Democratic Socialists of America, all going back to great society and all of these organizations.
00:31:56.620 It is all coordinated, all organized.
00:31:59.580 They're communicating to each other.
00:32:01.100 They've got walkie-talkies.
00:32:02.300 They're talking back and forth who's going where.
00:32:04.300 You've got Antifa coordinating with the liberals, the activist attorneys' organizations, the attorneys' guilds.
00:32:11.280 They are all coordinated.
00:32:13.600 And, again, it's through multiple groups, but it's all coordinated.
00:32:16.680 And the big thing, I mean, this to me is just a RICO case waiting to happen.
00:32:21.060 Well, hold it.
00:32:22.040 Hang on, McGinley.
00:32:23.220 The part of the Arizona engine room is telling me right now if they cut off the head of the snake, it all ends.
00:32:31.740 Do you agree with that?
00:32:32.800 No.
00:32:33.360 I think that they've – I think that back in the day, the Demdark Money Network was a very top-down organization.
00:32:39.340 I think after the president was elected in 2016, they all got together and decided to make it more of a dispersed group.
00:32:46.600 They wanted to give it the appearance of organic uprising.
00:32:49.380 We just can't – but it's still a couple of billionaires in back of it, the Walton family.
00:32:52.920 More than a couple.
00:32:53.580 More than a couple.
00:32:54.080 Okay, well, I think that's what they're saying.
00:32:55.320 Do you go after the billionaires today?
00:32:56.940 I think you've got to find the organizations or you're going to find the donors.
00:33:00.120 You've done the most work on all this dark money tying it together.
00:33:03.720 What are the two or three this morning that you would tell the Justice Department to go in, get a warrant, seize their records, and let's roll?
00:33:10.220 Yeah, I would take a look at all of the big national dark money groups and look at the state and local groups that are on the ground that Ben is talking about, and what are the transfers?
00:33:20.360 You can pull those out of the 990s that these groups file.
00:33:24.080 Now, the 2024 990s aren't coming available until probably around November or later, but I would want to take that and follow the money because it's not just the national groups that you have there.
00:33:34.860 You have to follow it down into the states because that's where the rubber hits the road on some of these, and a lot of people will ignore California because it's a one-party rule state.
00:33:45.440 But when you look at some of the activities that are happening on the ground right now in Los Angeles, Santa Ana, and some of these other communities,
00:33:52.460 you need to get down there and find out these community groups, who's financing them, who's training them, and who's supporting them.
00:33:58.920 Another part of the interim was telling me the trustafarians.
00:34:01.840 How big a deal is these trust fund kids, these Nepo billionaire babies that are funding this? 0.99
00:34:07.040 Look, I don't know who is funding this, Steve, so I don't want to come out and name names, but I do want to say that there is enough evidence here for the oversight committee in the House of Representatives.
00:34:15.820 Dude, you're boring me.
00:34:16.800 Yeah, I know.
00:34:18.040 Right.
00:34:18.680 I get it.
00:34:19.100 Come on, Bill.
00:34:19.840 And Homeland Security.
00:34:21.000 Don't get me – Homan, don't do another TV interview. 0.99
00:34:23.700 Get ICE guys out there.
00:34:24.700 I got Bill McGinley in here.
00:34:25.780 Drop the hammer.
00:34:26.880 He's calling Comer.
00:34:27.980 We're going to have another hearing.
00:34:30.440 Can I – hold it.
00:34:31.300 Can you draft a strongly worded letter?
00:34:33.200 Maybe we do this.
00:34:34.000 What the hell?
00:34:34.960 Listen, Trump's sending it in troops.
00:34:36.900 What do you mean?
00:34:38.280 Trump's taking it up.
00:34:39.540 Yeah, but you can walk and chew gum at the same time.
00:34:41.460 It broke them, though, didn't it?
00:34:42.620 Yes.
00:34:42.880 The show of force broke the protesters and gave the LAPD some backbone.
00:34:49.360 It gave the California Highway Patrol some backbone.
00:34:52.340 Yeah, because the rank and file finally saw that there was somebody supporting them.
00:34:55.240 The cavalry arrived, did it not?
00:34:56.800 That's right.
00:34:57.580 We're going to Fort Bragg.
00:34:58.800 Brian Glenn's going to be in the second hour.
00:35:00.800 Burquam, when are we going to get your interviews, your man-in-the-street interviews?
00:35:06.420 Where are they?
00:35:07.500 I'm going to cut those – I'm going to cut them up in the next few minutes.
00:35:10.060 As soon as I get them up, I'll send them to you guys first, and I'll let you know.
00:35:14.060 No, cut them up and come back to me.
00:35:15.680 We've got time.
00:35:16.200 I'm going to play in the second hour.
00:35:17.660 Okay, Harry Enten told you the biggest group that shifted – this is Star County, Texas,
00:35:23.680 down on the rear ground where Cortez has been talking about.
00:35:26.480 Working-class Hispanics that are American citizens, working-class blacks that are American citizens,
00:35:32.700 1,000 percent support what President Trump is doing because you know why?
00:35:38.120 It's looking out for them.
00:35:39.480 They're the ones that are – they're bearing the brunt of this, not the trustafarians, right, 1.00
00:35:43.980 who are dining off this.
00:35:45.720 And this gets back also – they're dining off the H-1B visas.
00:35:48.440 Hang on one second, Bill.
00:35:49.460 I want you to stick around.
00:35:50.740 Ben, you go do your thing.
00:35:52.440 Where do people get your content, Ben?
00:35:54.020 Go cut your stuff and come back in the second hour.
00:35:55.840 Where do people get it in the interim?
00:35:58.700 Always first on Real America's Voice, at Real AM Voice on all the social media,
00:36:04.140 and then my social media, at Ben Burquam, Substack, Frontline America, and FrontlineAmerica.com.
00:36:09.600 Great reporting.
00:36:10.540 So proud of you, brother.
00:36:12.540 Let's bring in Rickards. 0.98
00:36:14.480 Rickards, I said yesterday that this was another front in the Third World War,
00:36:19.700 in the arc of instability from Kursk all the way down to the Red Sea,
00:36:23.440 the South China Sea, around Taiwan, this global conflict that's metastasizing.
00:36:29.280 One of the key areas is the invasion of the United States was 10 million illegal alien invaders, 0.96
00:36:34.560 and the mainstream media went absolutely crazy.
00:36:38.000 Ban inputs, weird conspiracies up there.
00:36:41.460 Sir, you're the best geopolitical strategist I know.
00:36:45.100 We're negotiating in London on rare earths and chips.
00:36:47.880 Right now we've got a Chinese, a PLA, People's Liberation Navy carrier battle group
00:36:54.760 that's steaming east of the second island chain, right, when we said for years it could never happen.
00:37:00.700 You've got the Russians have hit Kiev last night, I think as hard as London got hit in some of the nights of the Blitz.
00:37:09.160 But is not one of the biggest battlefields here the invasion that took place,
00:37:13.920 and you're seeing it in L.A. County, Jim Rickards?
00:37:17.140 Well, that's absolutely right, Steve.
00:37:18.280 When you talk about warfare, you have a lot of kinetic or potentially kinetic aspects to it.
00:37:23.180 But financial warfare is as much a part of the geopolitical struggle you're describing as kinetic warfare,
00:37:29.940 and that happens to be my specialty.
00:37:31.800 I have one quick story, and then I'll kind of bring this back to the situation in Los Angeles.
00:37:36.900 Some years ago, I was asked by the CIA to organize a clandestine operation to destabilize a certain country.
00:37:43.600 I'm not going to mention the name of the country.
00:37:45.440 I've been there.
00:37:46.160 It's a pretty place, but no need to mention the name.
00:37:49.480 But no Bay of Pigs kind of stuff.
00:37:51.300 It had to be financial.
00:37:52.340 That was my area.
00:37:54.840 So I studied it for a while, and I very quickly realized that you could do it pretty easily by cutting off remittances.
00:38:00.960 And for those who don't know, when people leave their country and go somewhere else, the United States,
00:38:05.060 and they get a job, they make money, they send money back home.
00:38:07.800 I mean, everyone's supposed to do that, but they do.
00:38:11.180 And these remittances, I identified the channel that they were going through.
00:38:15.000 It wasn't Venmo, but it was something like that.
00:38:16.780 It was an online application, and I identified the channel.
00:38:20.240 I said to the agency, get your technical people, cut off the channel, say cutting off the oxygen supply.
00:38:26.760 You'll have social unrest within days, and then throw in some propaganda and take it from there.
00:38:31.000 So I wrote this up, and the thing with the CIA, you tell them stuff, and they don't tell you anything back.
00:38:36.500 It's kind of a one-way street.
00:38:38.020 So some months later, I bumped into my point of contact.
00:38:40.740 I said, hey, whatever happened to that idea I put out there?
00:38:43.700 He goes, oh, they decided not to do it.
00:38:45.940 And I said, why not?
00:38:46.860 He said, they thought it might work.
00:38:48.980 In other words, I said, oh, you didn't really want to destabilize them.
00:38:51.520 You just wanted to kind of mess with them a little bit.
00:38:53.180 But the point is remittances are like oxygen supply.
00:38:56.080 It will totally destabilize the country.
00:38:57.820 Now, bring that to the big, beautiful bill buried in there, a very technical provision.
00:39:03.160 By the way, I was International Tax Counsel of the city for 10 years, so this is another one of my specialties.
00:39:09.120 There's a provision to put a 5% withholding tax on remittances to Mexico.
00:39:14.960 Now, before you say, hey, this is some landscaper sending $100 back home.
00:39:19.500 No, the remittances to Mexico are $64.7 billion a year from the U.S. to Mexico.
00:39:26.400 Individual transfers might be small, but the total is $64.7 billion.
00:39:31.920 That's 3.5% of Mexican GDP.
00:39:35.620 That's more money than Mexico makes in oil exports. 0.98
00:39:39.060 That's larger than Mexico's trade surplus with the United States.
00:39:42.520 This is their total oxygen supply.
00:39:44.940 Now, you say, and Claudia Sheinbaum, the president of Mexico, is melting down a bit.
00:39:47.840 It's so huge.
00:39:48.680 Hang on.
00:39:48.920 That's part of the scam.
00:39:49.740 Hang on.
00:39:50.120 But, Jim, why wouldn't you demand that they be able to show proof of citizenship at Western Union?
00:39:56.920 And if you can't show legitimate proof of citizenship, you can't send the wire, that the only wire that can be sent is by a United States citizen.
00:40:05.300 Why would you – why would we allow – if they try to do it, make it 100% tax?
00:40:12.120 Just seize it.
00:40:12.860 Take it all.
00:40:14.240 I mean, why would we just – 5%?
00:40:16.040 That's fine.
00:40:16.620 I understand.
00:40:17.240 That's kind of smart, but it doesn't get to the heart of it.
00:40:19.700 The heart of it is that in L.A. County, we have – is it 2 million, I think, overall in the county?
00:40:24.980 Illegal aliens, sir? 0.99
00:40:28.000 First of all, you could do that.
00:40:29.120 It would not be difficult.
00:40:30.060 And, you know, just whatever channel they're using these days, you know, the old-day Western Union, banks, Venmo, whatever, they're a bunch of channels.
00:40:39.040 They're not difficult to find.
00:40:41.320 And you could put that requirement on them.
00:40:43.420 By the way, $64.7 billion, Mexico would be begging to rejoin the United States.
00:40:48.320 I mean, that would – and this is why Scheinbaum is completely melting down.
00:40:52.980 This – and it's more than just the 5%.
00:40:55.540 5% sounds small, and I agree it could be as much as you want.
00:40:58.800 But so we're going to skim 5%.
00:41:00.680 But the point is Mexico, when they get the money, they put a value-added tax on it of 16% value-added tax.
00:41:08.080 So it's a big sort of – it's not just, you know, people sending money to their grandmother or whatever in some village.
00:41:12.780 It's a big source of revenue for the Mexican government.
00:41:15.800 The cartel takes a skim.
00:41:17.680 The money itself could be used to pay for the border wall.
00:41:20.080 I mean, this is a – even the 5% is a very big deal. 0.99
00:41:22.420 But you're right.
00:41:23.140 If you want to make it higher than that, dial it up to 20% or even 100%, you could do that.
00:41:27.580 And as I said, Mexico would grind to a halt.
00:41:30.920 This is 3.5% of their GDP coming from Mexicans living in the United States sending money back home.
00:41:38.780 And by the way, the provision to put the 5% on is in the big, beautiful bill.
00:41:42.900 So it's coming.
00:41:44.820 And that's why – now, there's some notion.
00:41:47.500 I can't – I'll just be clear.
00:41:48.780 This is speculation.
00:41:49.300 I can't verify this, but there's some notion that – because Scheinbaum said we want to mobilize the Mexican population in the United States to resist this.
00:41:58.540 Now, she didn't say violence, but is what's going on in L.A. in some way that mobilization that she referred to?
00:42:05.360 She's turning – I know you've got to bounce.
00:42:09.340 Some observations on all this.
00:42:11.320 Look, I think that it's so convenient with all the short-term memory just from Boulder with the guy who came in.
00:42:17.560 We had a terror attack in a park, right?
00:42:19.920 Karen Bass is yelling about, oh, they tried to do a raid or ICE agent showed up at Home Depot.
00:42:25.080 We had an anti-Semitic attack in Boulder in a park.
00:42:28.700 But how soon do people forget that Chris Wray sat before Congress last year?
00:42:33.480 No friend of the war room, nobody that we trust, saying, I've never seen the red lights blinking like they are right now.
00:42:39.880 I mean, even the Biden administration toward the end realized the folly of their ways and began to realize how insecure that they placed America in.
00:42:48.500 And I think that what we need to do is we need to be supporting these ICE agents.
00:42:52.220 We need to be supporting federal law enforcement.
00:42:54.720 President Trump needs our back.
00:42:56.260 Everybody needs to back him up.
00:42:59.300 You and I have talked about how we need to almost have a permanent campaign to support him, not only on the big, beautiful bill, on the immigration policy, everything else that he wants to do to try and right the ship of everything that's gone wrong.
00:43:12.400 I know you've got to bounce.
00:43:13.120 I'm going to contact you.
00:43:14.140 I want to have you back on the next couple of days because between – Rick is getting worked up on the remittances.
00:43:20.480 And you are the expert in the dark money.
00:43:22.640 The war room posse right now is blowing up the chat saying they want scalps of billionaires' sons and daughters.
00:43:29.480 So I want to come – you're the expert of that.
00:43:31.060 I want to come back.
00:43:32.180 We've got to cut – we've got to stop the funding of this.
00:43:35.100 The funding in California is coming through their assembly because it's a one-party state.
00:43:40.040 But also these billionaire kids that are funding the destruction of our country. 0.51
00:43:44.640 We've got to get – and you're the smartest guy out there about that.
00:43:47.240 And a California assembly and held a press conference, I think it was yesterday, where he basically said, you know, you're taking the money from the law enforcement and you're giving it to these groups that are helping to organize these protests.
00:43:59.320 Hang on.
00:43:59.940 I'm going to have you give social media everything when we come back.
00:44:01.960 Short commercial break.
00:44:02.760 I've got Jim Rickards, Bill McGinley.
00:44:05.280 Short break.
00:44:05.980 Back in a moment.
00:44:06.480 What if he had the brightest mind in the war room delivering critical financial research every month?
00:44:15.640 Steve Bannon here.
00:44:16.780 War Room listeners know Jim Rickards.
00:44:18.460 I love this guy.
00:44:19.880 He's our wise man, a former CIA, Pentagon, and White House advisor with an unmatched grasp of geopolitics and capital markets.
00:44:27.020 Jim predicted Trump's Electoral College victory exactly 312 to 226, down to the actual number itself.
00:44:36.920 Now he's issuing a dire warning about April 11th, a moment that could define Trump's presidency and your financial future.
00:44:44.440 His latest book, Money GPT, exposes how AI is setting the stage for financial chaos, bank runs at lightning speeds, algorithm-driven crashes, and even threats to national security.
00:44:56.000 Right now, war room members get a free copy of Money GPT when they sign up for Strategic Intelligence.
00:45:02.320 This is Jim's flagship financial newsletter, Strategic Intelligence.
00:45:07.660 I read it.
00:45:08.680 You should read it.
00:45:09.760 Time is running out.

00:45:21.380 Here's your host, Stephen K.
00:45:24.540 Bannon.
00:45:28.200 McGinley's getting a little heckled on the board.
00:45:30.540 People want scalps. 1.00
00:45:32.100 I can't believe I got Bill McGinley in here.
00:45:34.140 First time in, and this is one of my dearest friends, first time here actually in studio outside of phone, and it's got to be since before inauguration, right?
00:45:42.120 Yeah.
00:45:42.780 Okay.
00:45:43.600 Maybe since my prison stint.
00:45:46.620 They know McGinley's a hammer, you know, where all the money is.
00:45:49.500 And what does McGinley give me?
00:45:50.860 I think we ought to call an oversight committee, Comer.
00:45:53.360 Oh, my God.
00:45:55.320 People are like, get him off.
00:45:56.700 Where's McGinley?
00:45:57.480 That's a body double.
00:45:58.960 Real quickly, people go get you for all your information.
00:46:02.420 You've got a great new thing.
00:46:03.460 We'll get to that when you come back.
00:46:05.300 But what's going on?
00:46:06.260 Tell me where people go.
00:46:07.600 On X at WJ McGinley.
00:46:09.780 Get her at McGinley WJ.
00:46:11.400 Okay.
00:46:12.000 Do we have the Indivisible?
00:46:13.860 Is that loaded yet?
00:46:15.420 The picture of the tweet with the picture of, was it Lee?
00:46:18.720 Ezra Levin.
00:46:19.560 Ezra Levin.
00:46:20.420 I mean, this is one of the issues.
00:46:22.160 It's these billionaire kids, right, or these kids that are putting this together that are financing all this stuff.
00:46:27.680 Like Indivisible is, I think, part of the New Kings.
00:46:30.680 I think the full-paid ad I saw in the New York Times was by one of the Walton people, I think.
00:46:36.620 We've got to get to the people that are funding this.
00:46:38.760 I mean, otherwise, the people in the streets that Burquam's got to deal with are the foot soldiers, right?
00:46:43.800 They're always going to show up, but you've got to cut the money off.
00:46:46.940 Yeah, but you've got to get to the broader network that's out there.
00:46:49.700 None of this is you can view in isolation.
00:46:52.580 You know, you've got to look at all of the stuff that they've done in elections.
00:46:57.580 You've got to look at everything that they've done on public policy.
00:47:01.040 If the Justice Department gets a special deal going here with Ed Martin or something, you and Tom Fitton could be advisors to that, correct?
00:47:07.820 Yeah, I'll go in and talk to Ed Martin any time.
00:47:09.800 Okay, perfect.
00:47:10.720 Social media?
00:47:12.260 Axe, once again, W.J. McGinley, and Getter, McGinley, W.J.
00:47:17.100 Folks, go blow him up today. 1.00
00:47:18.380 Say McGinley.
00:47:19.120 The band is bringing you for an hour to be a hammer.
00:47:21.180 You're a Huntington Beach guy.
00:47:22.220 Act like a Huntington Beach.
00:47:23.960 Huntington Beach, by the way, talk about a city that's flipped.
00:47:26.380 Yes.
00:47:26.820 It's a bright red dot and a blue state.
00:47:28.780 It's amazing.
00:47:29.580 Yeah.
00:47:29.900 Those surfers down there.
00:47:30.400 They're all MAGA.
00:47:31.180 It's a full MAGA down there.
00:47:32.660 You walk through the streets, you can see why.
00:47:34.620 On a Saturday afternoon, it's a beach.
00:47:36.520 Yeah, spontaneous Trump demonstrations at the pier.
00:47:38.920 All the time.
00:47:40.120 Unbelievable.
00:47:40.520 You're a full MAGA.
00:47:41.360 Bill McGinley, love you, brother.
00:47:43.060 Thanks for having me on.
00:47:44.160 Oversight Committee.
00:47:45.080 Wow.
00:47:47.180 Rickards, the broader war here.
00:47:49.920 The Russians hit. 0.99
00:47:52.060 They're slugging it out now, the Ukrainians and the Russians. 0.59
00:47:54.600 Are they not?
00:47:56.840 They are.
00:47:57.520 They are.
00:47:57.880 And the media, New York Times, Washington Post, and so forth,
00:48:02.840 they report on these Russian very large drone attacks, 500 drones or more.
00:48:07.900 They're also using ballistic missiles, not using the Roshnik, but Ishkal and his mother missiles 0.99
00:48:13.640 and bombers.
00:48:14.380 So this is a massive attack.
00:48:15.460 But they don't report very much on what the Ukrainians did to the Russians.
00:48:20.000 I mean, obviously, this blowing up a few of these strategic bombers.
00:48:22.680 By the way, the Ukrainians lie about everything. 1.00
00:48:25.840 So if they say they blew up 40 bombers, make it five, and it's not clear that they really
00:48:31.000 blew them up, they were damaged, et cetera.
00:48:32.800 Yeah, they did some damage.
00:48:34.040 You know, nice.
00:48:34.540 But hang on.
00:48:35.120 Hang on.
00:48:35.580 The first casualty of war is the truth.
00:48:39.160 The Russians don't do a bad job either, right? 1.00
00:48:40.960 I mean, they're kind of pros at this.
00:48:42.500 So everything you're reading from the battlefield, you've got to kind of filter, right?
00:48:46.780 Well, I agree with that.
00:48:47.980 But if you're winning, you're more likely to tell the truth.
00:48:50.100 So I think, actually, the Russian Defense Ministry has a very good track record.
00:48:54.180 They put out a few propaganda pieces.
00:48:56.320 But when you compare what they say to what actually happens, sometimes you don't learn
00:48:59.860 until weeks or even months later.
00:49:01.740 Their track record is pretty good.
00:49:03.700 Ukraine just, you know, I don't know what to say.
00:49:05.560 They just lie about everything.
00:49:07.100 Okay, Zelensky's lighting up the president of the United States today, saying,
00:49:15.780 I don't need any more talk out of Washington.
00:49:17.640 I need action.
00:49:18.820 How do you interpret that?
00:49:21.700 He's desperate.
00:49:23.200 It's not just because Ukraine is losing the war.
00:49:24.760 That would be one reason to be desperate.
00:49:26.060 But he personally is kind of a pawn for the neo-Nazi element, the Azov brigades and, you
00:49:32.680 know, the Bandera descendants, etc.
00:49:37.040 He's under their thumb.
00:49:38.340 Now, he's the president.
00:49:39.580 Actually, he's not the president.
00:49:40.500 He's a dictator because his presidential term expired in May of 2024.
00:49:45.280 So he's now under a year and a half of being a dictator, period.
00:49:50.800 But he's under the thumb of the neo-Nazi element.
00:49:53.640 By the way, I had a discussion with the head of the U.S. Marshall Foundation.
00:50:00.180 It's basically a pro-German U.S. organization.
00:50:03.000 I asked her about this.
00:50:03.800 And she said, yeah, there are Nazis there.
00:50:05.200 She kind of said, we keep our distance.
00:50:06.860 But I got an acknowledgment from an expert that, yeah, they are, in fact, neo-Nazis.
00:50:14.220 So I guess he has his houses in Dubai and maybe Miami all set.
00:50:18.860 He's got money abroad.
00:50:20.340 He's good to go.
00:50:21.100 But he was saying, he wants to keep the word going.
00:50:24.040 He needs to keep the word going to protect himself.
00:50:27.600 Do we know that?
00:50:28.460 How do you ascertain?
00:50:29.600 How do you back that up as a fact that he's got these houses?
00:50:32.020 We keep hearing he's got houses in Egypt.
00:50:33.580 He's skimmed so much off the top of the oligarchs.
00:50:36.540 How do we actually know that for a fact?
00:50:39.540 I rely on sources who have very good track records.
00:50:42.200 So, yeah, it's secondhand.
00:50:44.640 But I always test them.
00:50:46.260 I say, OK, I've been listening to you for three years, and you've been right about almost everything.
00:50:51.520 And on occasions when you're not right, you admit it.
00:50:54.240 You say, hey, we got that wrong.
00:50:55.960 That gives you a lot of credibility.
00:50:57.500 In my view, I was teaching a class.
00:50:59.600 There was a lady from the State Department, fairly senior, who was in my class. 0.54
00:51:03.700 And I went through some of this.
00:51:05.100 And she came up to me during the coffee break and said, could you give me your sources?
00:51:09.680 And I said, sure.
00:51:10.500 And I did.
00:51:11.440 But I thought it was odd that she has the highest possible security clearances, and she's asking me for, you know, basically what are open sources?
00:51:20.040 You have to know where to look.
00:51:21.360 So, yeah, I do rely on sourcing, but I also judge them by their track record, and it's very good.
00:51:28.580 Jim, can you stick around for a little while?
00:51:30.700 We need to lose you now at the top of the hour.
00:51:32.840 Can you stick around in the second hour?
00:51:35.180 Sure.

00:51:37.400 OK, perfect.

00:52:00.180 Brian Glenn will be there as President Trump goes down to visit the 82nd Airborne.

00:54:57.140 So that's why we created Sacred Human, really trying to fill this gap of quality supplements.
00:55:01.580 And of course, the beef liver being our flagship products.
