Steve and Dave are joined by Tej Gell from Warpath Coffee to discuss the latest in the Iran crisis and the unintended consequences that could be the result of it. They also talk about the potential for World War 3.
00:03:16.000But that's that's those are the unintended consequences.
00:03:19.000And another unintended consequence would be the 20 million illegal immigrants that came into the United States under Biden.
00:03:27.000People are saying that there may be some sleeper cells in there.
00:03:30.000Some terrorists came across the border. So we'll see.
00:03:34.000That could be another intended unintended consequence for terrorist attacks inside the homeland of the United States because of Israel's actions last night.
00:05:15.000This is, you know, I remember in 1991 when we invaded Iraq, Iraq-Kuwait thing, the Gulf War, you know, it was such American flags everywhere, the yellow ribbons, and then same thing after 9-11.
00:05:30.000I mean, I think that sentiment is gone.
00:05:37.000I mean, we've been at war since 2001, basically, continuously.
00:05:42.000You know, and then as soon as Afghanistan wound down, we shifted right into Ukraine, into a proxy war.
00:05:50.000We don't have, for the most part, we don't have any troops over there.
00:05:53.000And then now this thing with Israel and Iran heats up, which I know it will.
00:06:00.000There's at least going to be a couple more back and forth.
00:06:03.000I don't think the appetite for war is there anymore in the United States.
00:06:07.000And through my friends that are out of the military now, some of them are still in, some of them are still in the intelligence agencies, that the appetite for war is just not there, for the most part.
00:06:19.000It's still there, I would say, at a small level.
00:06:22.000But the majority of the guys I know, they don't have the appetite for war anymore.
00:06:58.000There's no forums open to the American people.
00:07:00.000How do we fix this so that we don't have the CIA and the deep state, the State Department, the bureaucrats tugging at President Trump, trying to make it sound like he's engaged in some good deal or something, when his gut has proven to be right?
00:07:15.000What's wrong with our representative republic?
00:07:20.000Oh, well, you know, as well as I do, the representatives, they don't represent the constituents anymore.
00:07:27.000They represented special interest group and lobbyists, and the lobbyists work for other countries like Israel.
00:07:34.000They work for the Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Boeing, all these guys, and our economy is basically based on war now.
00:07:45.000We've outsourced all our manufacturing to China and all these other countries, and we are a war machine.
00:07:51.000United States is a war machine, and whether we have troops on the ground fighting somewhere, if that's not the case, then we have to have proxy wars to feed the war machine, and that's it.
00:08:02.000So last night fed the war machine because we sell arms to Israel.
00:08:07.000We give them grants, and it all goes back to the big arms company.
00:08:12.000The military industrial complex drives America, and they own our Congress.
00:08:21.000Trump ran on shutting down the deep state, and I think he's doing a good job, but I don't know if he can shut it down.
00:08:30.000Well, the people, you know, it's what the war room's all about, agency.
00:08:33.000And Steve always says, people need to make more noise.
00:08:36.000You've got to get through to your representatives on this war thing.
00:08:40.000And so, Tej, you know, we were just talking about the appetite for war and the warmongers and the globalists, et cetera, and the Marxists fight against the nation state itself.
00:08:52.000And let's not leave out the left, right?
00:08:54.000There's tens of billions of dollars in slush funds, right?
00:08:57.000USAID, the Department of Energy, everybody now knows.
00:09:01.000And the tens of billions of dollars going into these NGOs, nonprofits that are actually funding the war going on on our streets right now in Los Angeles across the country.
00:09:13.000And the funding sources are coming into sharp relief.
00:09:16.000And so, people on the war room, if you see a show on that that you like where Mike Benz is on giving the evidence, please share that with everyone you know.
00:09:24.000I've had very good friends that are more left, whatever.
00:09:29.000You share the war with them, and over a period of a few months, it starts to crack, and it seeps in, and they change their tune.
00:09:37.000Tej, sell us some coffee, and thanks for being with us today, brother.
00:13:56.000I do think that the Israelis need whatever capabilities they need because this thing is going to go on, my belief, is for another couple of weeks.
00:14:06.000They are not done with the level of destruction of the nuclear capability.
00:14:10.000We have to face the fact that since really the Obama regime, Iran, the leading state sponsor of terrorism in the world, has been developing a nuclear weapon.
00:14:22.000And they have had, you know, they've had years to develop it, their level of enrichment of uranium is at a level that, you know, they were ready to come out with bombs here, you know, in the next couple of weeks, if not days.
00:18:48.000I spent a lot of years in the Middle East, particularly focused on this problem set that we are now, you know,
00:18:55.000watching unfold, unravel, if you will, in Iran.
00:18:59.000So a couple of things that I just I would just offer for your viewers.
00:19:05.000We are seeing an exquisite level of intelligence operations by the nation of Israel.
00:19:12.000I mean, it's just extraordinary to me.
00:19:15.000This is a this is definitely a warning.
00:19:18.000This is a warning to any other adversary in that region who feels like they want to take a shot at Israel.
00:19:25.000There's one thing that the Israelis have is they have incredible levels of very detailed, very tactical,
00:19:32.000very refined intelligence because the targets that they are hitting and the and the precision that they're hitting those targets.
00:19:38.000And I'm talking about people, command and control, air defense, all the different battlefield operating systems that you have to take out in order to,
00:19:46.000in this case, to destroy the capability, the military and intelligence and security capabilities of a nation.
00:19:53.000Israelis have done quite a bit of it in just a period of about 48 hours.
00:19:59.000And again, this is a warning to anybody else in the region.
00:20:03.000I've already seen where the Hezbollah response is been has been nullified because they know the other countries in the region that have put out statements condemning this attack.
00:20:20.000Dave, they don't want to say it out loud, but they actually are applauding this attack because Iran has been nothing but a sore spot on the on the rear end of this particular region of the world.
00:20:31.000So we cannot continue to have the the basically the the spew that comes out of Iran and out of people like the Ayatollah, who's talking about the annihilation of not only the state of Israel, but also the United States of America.
00:20:48.000I applaud President Trump for how he has demonstrated enormous and extraordinary strategic patience.
00:20:55.000And he has given he has given every inch of rope to the Iranians to make a better decision.
00:21:42.000So how do you what we want to hear from you is how do you put that puzzle together for the American and the American people don't want war.
00:21:52.000The polling is overwhelmingly they want less action.
00:21:58.000Because now the genie's out of the bottle and Steve Bannon's been talking about unintended consequences after Iraq and shock and awe and everything looked good and the purple ink and the thumbs and all that.
00:22:09.000What's the cautionary note of us moving forward so that we can solve our own domestic problems, bring manufacturing back to America and have some stability and all get rich together.
00:22:19.000He Trump said he wants Iran to get rich together.
00:22:58.000And I and people that follow me on X and go to at Jen Flynn, G and Flynn, because I posted something about the Ukraine war.
00:23:05.000We have got to we have got to clean the decks right now and and completely relook how we are negotiating the situation in Europe, because that war can end and it can end very quickly.
00:23:18.000But right now, the people that he's got on the at the negotiating table, this is really not Marco Rubio.
00:23:24.000Marco Rubio has got he's up to his eyeballs in national security challenges just because of all the shit he's got to do.
00:23:33.000He's got to say, OK, nothing is working.
00:23:36.000Clear it out. I want I want some new ideas.
00:23:38.000And so I laid one out there this morning.
00:23:40.000And these are serious, serious issues in serious times that, you know, the war in the Middle East.
00:23:46.000I just think at this point in time, it's going to play itself out.
00:23:49.000We're going to have to pay very close attention to it.
00:23:52.000But that takes me back to our country, the United States of America and the domestic landscape.
00:23:57.000And what what I don't like, I don't like the this deal that Trump just had with Xi in China, the Chinese.
00:24:05.000So, you know, I mean, he's he's he posted whatever yesterday about the deal he cut on tariffs and and Chinese students who have been ripping us off for almost three decades now, stealing every single intellectual property that we have going back home, taking it back home and develop.
00:24:25.000I mean, frankly, the nonsense and the bullshit that that the Chinese Communist Party, not the people of China, but the Chinese Communist Party and the leadership right now by Xi is going to be our friends and they're going to work with us as competitors or, you know, or or partners.
00:24:42.000No, the Chinese have been killing Americans with fentanyl to the tune of hundreds of thousands over the last five years.
00:24:51.000Never mind methamphetamine prior to that and other drugs prior to that.
00:24:57.000We just saw the the capture of a couple of people with bioweapons to destroy our agricultural industry.
00:25:02.000That's only three people. How many more people are out there?
00:25:05.000The purchasing of real estate, this nonsense about they're going to Congress is going to, you know, be part of of of these delegations around the United States to to what to market the Chinese Communist Party.
00:25:18.000This has got to end. It has got to end.
00:25:21.000First and foremost, Trump has got to refocus on America first.
00:25:25.000America first to the rest of the world does not mean America in isolation.
00:25:29.000It means we have got to get our our muscles stronger.
00:25:32.000We have gotten like a human being. You got to work out.
00:25:35.000To stay healthy. America, we got to work out to get healthy.
00:25:38.000Right. Manufacturing prowess, our own energy resources that we have in abundance.
00:25:43.000We've got mining operations that have been shut down for well over a couple of decades, actually.
00:25:48.000And Trump tried to start, you know, to get some of them going up in like places like Montana and out in Colorado and in New Mexico.
00:25:56.000But there's other places in the country, you know, manufacturing in Michigan and Ohio.
00:26:00.000These are the kinds of things that the American people want.
00:26:03.000American people do not want war. And so don't don't drag us to another war in the Middle East.
00:26:09.000Don't drag us into a war that's cost us half a trillion, five hundred billion dollars in Eastern Europe.
00:26:15.000What what we could have done with that money and Congress is nowhere to be seen.
00:26:20.000Folks, right. American people, listeners of the war room do not think that Congress is going to do the right thing.
00:26:27.000They are not. They are making a killing on these wars.
00:26:30.000The neocons, the neolips. I mean, so I could go on and on, Dave.
00:26:40.000I was going to say America is a godly country.
00:26:43.000And we which is one thing that we are in addition to other, you know, declining capabilities.
00:26:49.000We are a nation in moral decline. And if we don't, if we don't raise the stature and I know I'm talking to the to the ministers and the pastors and the congregations out there.
00:26:59.000Get your act together. Thank God the Christian community came to the rescue of President Trump.
00:27:06.000I'm a Catholic. Steve's a Catholic. Trump got the most Catholic votes of any president, I think, since Ronald Reagan or maybe even before, maybe even more than him.
00:27:14.000Christians better better stand up and step up and be counted and speak up.
00:27:19.000And I'm not talking about the weak pastors and ministers and priests at the at the pulpits.
00:27:24.000I'm talking about people of of of moral courage.
00:27:28.000Our country has got to return to that.
00:27:30.000And it doesn't mean that, you know, you don't there's not other other things that I can I can, you know, argue about and debate about.
00:27:37.000But what I'm telling you is our country is in moral decline and we are in a steep moral decline.
00:27:42.000We're not at the precipice. We're in the abyss.

00:30:02.000That's Patriot Mobile dot com slash Bannon or call 972 Patriot.
00:31:10.000This is a determined Israeli decapitation strike against the top echelons of Iran's strategic and military command.
00:31:21.000Here's where we are operationally right now.
00:31:24.000The Israeli Air Force and Mossad agents who have penetrated deep behind enemy lines on Iranian territory
00:31:32.000have managed to kill at least 20 senior Iranian Revolutionary Guard commanders as well as the commander of the Iranian Missile and Air Force Command.
00:31:48.000And the senior and most nuclear program advisor to the Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
00:31:56.000So right now I can imagine that there is confusion, there is chaos within the command structure of Iran's political command.
00:32:04.000And look, Bibi Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister in a statement earlier today said that this is the time for the Iranian people,
00:32:13.000the Iranian people to declare their freedom.
00:32:17.000So that is a message here that this is a strategic blow against Iran.
00:32:23.000The intent here is perhaps regime change, that this is going to go well beyond striking the nuclear underground enrichment sites.
00:32:33.000Now, we do have reports that the Natanz nuclear enrichment site has been significantly damaged by the Israeli strikes.
00:32:43.000That's important. Why? Because Iran has two of them, Natanz and Fordow.
00:32:48.000The big one is Fordow. That is deep beneath the mountains, underneath the holy Iranian site of the city of Qom.
00:32:57.000And that we can expect the Israelis to strike that site as well.
00:33:00.000We are seeing some updates as we speak right now that there are new explosions being heard in the capital of Iran, Tehran,
00:33:06.000and in that holy site, a city of Qom where that Fordow nuclear facility is taking place.
00:33:12.000The Israelis certainly here are going this is operations going to take days, if not weeks.
00:33:18.000You've got Mossad deep behind enemy lines.
00:33:20.000The Israelis have managed to cripple the order of battle for the Iranian command by striking against the leadership of Iran's missile command and its ground forces,
00:33:33.000as well as the chief of staff of the Iranian military, Mohammad Bagari.
00:33:38.000He is dead. Now, imagine that's equivalent if the chairman of the joint chief of staff was assassinated alongside others on the in the Pentagon leadership.
00:33:48.000That is what this is equivalent to. So right now, the Iranian military command structure, which is top heavy, is running blind.
00:33:56.000We're going to see more of these Mossad attacks inside Iran and more of these Israeli airstrikes, given what we were hearing from the leadership in Jerusalem.
00:34:06.000Right now, the Iranians have not been have not managed to launch their medium and long range ballistic missiles against Israeli targets.
00:34:14.000But so there seem they're trying to regroup right now, given the chaos that is taking place in Tehran.
00:34:20.000But no question from an operational perspective, from a battlefield damage assessment, this has been a widely effective strike on Iran.
00:34:31.000The question is, what does the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei do?
00:34:34.000He probably believes that his regime right now is facing collapse.
00:34:59.000I cannot imagine Iran making that deal right now.
00:35:04.000What's the timeline for Iran to recoup somewhat and be able to retain its footing with medium and long range missiles to Israel?
00:35:15.000And then any risk assessment to the U.S.?
00:35:19.000And then do they have proxies anywhere outside of Iran that can help them in this response or have most of them been weakened significantly already?
00:35:30.000Well, Iran's main proxy and its strategic deterrent against Israel, Hezbollah in Lebanon, has been wiped up.
00:35:37.000Hezbollah has already said that they're not in this fight.
00:35:39.000That's because the Israeli Mossad killed Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, and killed most of the top Hezbollah commands with those exploding pagers.
00:35:49.000That Mossad intelligence operation that killed hundreds of Hezbollah commanders as well as the top leadership of Hezbollah.
00:35:58.000That means that Hezbollah, which is right on the border of Israel's north, is not going to be able to launch retaliatory strikes.
00:36:04.000And Iran for years had pinned its hopes on the ability of Hezbollah to launch these strikes into Israel to try to stop the Israelis from launching out strikes deep into Iran's fortified underground nuclear facilities.
00:36:17.000So without Hezbollah, Iran is really exposed. But Iran Revolutionary Guard still has terror operatives throughout the Middle East.
00:36:25.000And that means American diplomatic facilities and military bases in Doha, the United Arab Emirates, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Baghdad are potentially exposed to retaliation.
00:36:37.000But that would be essentially suicidal by the Iranians if they so chose that path.
00:36:43.000Look, Steve Whitcoff was supposed to sit down with his Iranian counterparts on Sunday in the neutral Arabian Gulf country of Oman.
00:36:50.000That clearly is not going to happen anymore.
00:36:52.000And we saw from President Trump's social media statement earlier today that some of the Iranians that the American side was dealing with from the Trump administration,
00:37:02.000many of those people are now dead given the wide sweeping nature of this Israeli strike that seems to have caught the Iranian military leadership and Ayatollah Khomeini completely unprepared with the top military advisers to the Ayatollah in Tehran now dead.
00:37:19.000So all eyes are now on what Tehran will do next. This is completely from an operational perspective in the first 24 hours seems to have been a success.
00:37:29.000The question is, is will Israel's attacks be able to destroy those advanced centrifuges that the Iranians use to enrich uranium to weapons grade levels of enrichment?
00:37:44.000Bibi Netanyahu said that these strikes will destroy those centrifuges.
00:37:49.000It's going to take the Iranians perhaps decades to rebuild that nuclear program,
00:37:54.000given that the Israeli Mossad has also managed to assassinate a number of the top nuclear scientists in Iran as well.
00:38:02.000And that is going to lead to a significant amount of chaos and disruption within the nuclear research and development capability that Iran currently has as well.
00:38:11.000Even if some of those centrifuges deep beneath the Iranian mountains survive the first wave of strikes, but we can certainly expect another wave.
00:38:19.000The question is, will American military assets be dragged into this war?
00:38:24.000So far, it's very clear from President Trump administration's statements that American military assets warplanes are soldiers are not involved in this attacks.
00:38:33.000But perhaps behind the scenes, there may be some intelligence support to the Israeli long range attacks and their special Mossad activities on the ground in Iran.
00:39:24.000Now, look, remember, in June of last year, the Iranians and Israelis traded missile strikes and airstrikes, but that was relatively contained.
00:39:35.000This is the Israeli Air Force and Mossad operators on the ground going after the top leaders of the of Iran's top echelon, people that are sit down with Ayatollah Khomeini on any given day.
00:39:48.000So with Hassan Nasrallah dead in Lebanon, with Ali Shamkhani, who was the right hand man of Ayatollah Khomeini, also dead, with Hussain Salami, the chief of staff of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards dead, as well as some of his other lieutenants.
00:40:05.000You know, Khomeini right now must be wondering, well, maybe I'm next, so maybe we should just go all out.
00:40:11.000Look, the Mossad is probably still on the ground.
00:40:14.000We did see reports that the Israeli intelligence special service was able to evacuate some of their operators that were on the ground.
00:40:21.000And according to reports, launching drones, drone strikes from within Iranian territory, striking some of those ballistic missile facilities that the Iranians have underground that were intended to be used as a second strike capability against Israel if and when these attacks take place.
00:40:41.000So right now, the Israelis seem to be at least two steps ahead on the chessboard with Iran.
00:40:45.700But, you know, the Iranians can launch kamikaze strikes.
00:40:47.840We saw in 2019 the Iranians launching suicide kamikaze drone strikes against Saudi oil crude storage facilities in northern Saudi Arabia.
00:40:58.240We saw the Iranians launch a similar attack against oil facilities right outside of Abu Dhabi.
00:41:04.140So perhaps here the Iranians may choose to strike oil storage facilities and terminals in the Arabian Gulf and to, you know, spike oil prices, you know, throughout the world.
00:41:18.220But that might lead to strikes against Iran's oil terminals.
00:41:22.480And that could, of course, cripple Iran's economy.
00:41:25.220So I think this is going to, you know, this is going to escalate before it de-escalates.
00:41:29.800The message coming out of Washington here is that, hey, Iran, before there's nothing left of what was once a proud empire, take the deal, you know, agree to zero enrichment.
00:41:43.540You've seen that there, you know, the other side is not bluffing.
00:41:48.440You know, you were warned multiple times over and over and over again that, you know, the U.S. has the most lethal military capabilities,
00:41:56.560that much of which have been provided to Israel and that there would be consequences if you did not accept the deal.
00:42:03.040And now the Iranians are facing that consequence.
00:42:06.740Will there be an opportunity for Ayatollah Khamenei to go back to the negotiating table?
00:42:12.760Well, many of those people that were negotiating are now been killed by this extraordinary Israeli decapitation strike.
00:42:19.540So, you know, but if a missile facility is used to strike American diplomats or American soldiers, let's not forget when the Iranians and their militia forces last tried to do this,
00:42:33.580President Trump in the first term, you know, wiped out Qasem Soleimani, the most capable Iranian commander.
00:42:40.840And so, you know, that certainly is going to also factor into what Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran, is going to do next.
00:42:47.040But this is war. The Middle East is at war, and this war is going to continue for some time, no doubt.
00:42:53.060Yeah, yeah. 30 seconds left, Uwai. Thanks for being with us.
00:42:59.100How much does this shift the U.S. positioning and the resources of the State Department, the CIA, most every agency?
00:43:06.860You said this is huge from the Israeli perspective.
00:43:09.980It seems to me it's also fairly significant, even if we're in a passive position, to get ready for what could happen.
00:43:17.420Just give us in 30 seconds a summary overview of what the U.S. shift looks like internally.
00:43:22.400Well, yeah, the American aircraft carriers on the Arabian Gulf and in that area, they're going to be on high alert for any type of suicide drone attacks or suicide boat attacks.
00:43:33.120Intelligence facilities, diplomatic facilities throughout the Arabian Gulf in the Middle East are going to be at high alert.
00:43:38.620And of course, you know, Iranian-backed terrorists can even attack American tourists in Europe or in Latin America,
00:43:44.960some, you know, a tactic that the Iranians have used in the past when they were desperate.
00:43:49.400So this is a war in the Middle East, but it certainly has global implications.
00:46:13.220We've got, you know, I was in the Freedom Caucus, and now we've got the head of the State Freedom Caucus organization across all 50 states, Andy Roth.
00:46:25.460If you want to just pivot off the war and the use of scarce resources and then all the other challenges and the big, beautiful bill, the floor is yours.
00:46:37.000You're an old friend, and I love what you did in the Freedom Caucus and everything that you've done since then.
00:46:42.380Just to pick up from the last couple of interviews that you've had, I'd just make a comment that we can't afford foreign entanglement right now.
00:46:50.660That's one of the reasons that Trump is so adamantly American first, is we've got to fix what's going on in our country.
00:46:56.960Since post-9-11, we've spent $8 trillion, both in the war in Iraq and in Afghanistan.
00:47:05.360And to put that in perspective, 8% would tack on another 20, 25% of our national debt.
00:47:15.100And so, what we're trying to do in Congress, what the House Freedom Caucus is trying to do in Congress, is to push through this one big, beautiful bill.
00:47:22.660And even though it's only $1.5 trillion worth of spending cuts, it's a start, and we've got to get going on it.
00:47:30.140And here is the very fundamental secret to passing this.
00:47:35.160It's getting the Senate Republicans on board.
00:47:38.900They're the only ones that are stopping this.
00:47:42.040And so, the war room posse, they are the backbone of this country.
00:47:46.020They need to light up the phones of all of these Republicans who are addicted to the Biden green energy tax credits.
00:47:54.760You know, it's an underreported, dirty secret right now that there are Republican governors all across the country who bashed Biden correctly for the Inflation Reduction Act.
00:48:09.160They say he's a big government liberal that destroyed our country.
00:48:14.260But out of the other side of their mouth, they're taking all of those green energy tax credits, all of those subsidies, billions and billions of dollars, and they're bragging about it back home.
00:48:23.800And the senators in those states are going along for the ride.
00:48:27.760And so, they're the ones that are pushing back against the House-passed bill.
00:48:31.940And so, whatever the Senate does, it needs to deliver not only on that bill, but make the cuts even larger.
00:48:40.880Let me interrupt you on that green point, because I think, and you tell me if I'm connecting the dots right here, because I want to be accurate and fair.
00:48:50.900The war room always wants the receipts.
00:48:52.840But these tens of billions of dollars going to the green energy stuff, that stuff goes to the Department of Energy.
00:48:58.260And if I'm not mistaken, it's the DOE money that's going to fund the NGOs in the domestic war in Los Angeles and across the country right now.
00:49:09.740And if I am, these Republican senators, man, I wouldn't want to be them right now.
00:49:14.500If we have those dots connected properly, and they are still pushing for the green energy, which is funding the deep state, woke and weaponized riots across our country,
00:49:25.200Oh, my word, I would not want to be them. Do we have that right, Andy?
00:49:29.620Yeah, I mean, at best, at best, these subsidies are going to companies that are building pipelines that aren't carrying oil and gas, but CO2.
00:49:41.540And they're using eminent domain to take people's land away from them in order to build these pipelines.
00:49:47.560At best, they're giving money to foreign companies that want to build electric vehicle plants and batteries and stuff in our country that go offshore.
00:50:01.600That's at best. At worst, is exactly what you need to describe.
00:50:06.660So there is absolutely no excuse at all for Republicans, Senate Republicans, to defend this garbage because the tentacles are deep.
00:50:18.460It goes everywhere. And so we've got to stop it.
00:50:22.580Yeah, yeah. And we got some heroes over there, right, on the cost-cutting side.
00:50:26.940But when you say America can't afford it, you know, I ran on the budget stuff 12 years ago.
00:50:33.700You know, people say they care about it nominally, but they won't vote for it.
00:50:36.880They won't kick out of Congress their members who are voting for $7 trillion budgets repeatedly,
00:50:43.040who are running $2 trillion budget deficit spending, stealing from the kids $2 trillion every year, deficit financed.
00:50:51.740We're spending it now. The kids got to pay it back.
00:50:55.600How do you convince the American people we cannot afford this?
00:50:59.660I mean, a trillion dollars in interest payments is bigger than defense.
00:51:02.900But make it real so that the war room shares this segment with all their friends and we can get some changes up on Capitol Hill.
00:51:12.080All political commentaries of my own, by the way.
00:51:14.620Andy, fire away. Two minutes to conclude.
00:51:16.300I mean, the one big, beautiful bill does not take away people's benefits.
00:51:21.080It does not touch Social Security or Medicaid, but it does go after the waste, fraud and abuse and the green energy tax credits that we have spent or that we have wasted over the last multiple decades.
00:51:34.160The problem that we have right now isn't just because of Biden.
00:51:38.020It's been decades of profligate spending and that profligate spending has created a deep state of just nefarious spending that's been going on for so long.
00:51:50.620And what the big, beautiful bill does is just start to take a blade to all of that wasteful spending.
