Summary
75 years ago today, on this day in history, the Korean War was officially launched. President Donald Trump was sworn in as president of the United States, and his first press conference was a firecracker of a press conference.
Transcript
00:00:01.000
Once the enemy positions are pinpointed, the unit maneuvers to concentrate its fire and saturate the area.
00:00:10.000
After inflicting all damage possible on the red positions, the patrol will pull back within its own lines.
00:01:00.000
In Korea, United Nations troops push on in the cautious advance against the Communists.
00:01:13.000
An advance whose purpose, General Ridgway states, is not to seize ground but to wipe out the enemy.
00:01:19.000
The Chinese Red Army, fighting desperately in small isolated stands,
00:01:24.000
prefers to give ground on wider fronts rather than join battle.
00:01:28.000
And it's up to the infantry to clear out the pockets of die-hard Communists.
00:01:38.000
United Nations commanders had expected that the Reds would make their stand there.
00:01:43.000
But under a steady withering barrage, GIs are able to cross the river and establish a beachhead.
00:01:49.000
Within two hours, a pontoon bridge spans the Han,
00:01:52.000
and United Nations troops and equipment pour across toward the capital city of Seoul.
00:01:57.000
Moments later, Chinese Communists, prisoners, are being marched to the rear.
00:02:12.000
Seoul, too, falls into United Nations' hands, this time not as a prime military target,
00:02:19.000
but as the result of the clean United Nations sweep up the Korean Peninsula.
00:02:24.000
The once proud capital of the Korean Republic is a mass of ruins whose able-bodied men have been carried off to forced service in North Korea.
00:02:33.000
Children and the aged are left to see the liberation of their city.
00:02:48.000
For once, the Marines almost meet their match as spring thaws slow down the United Nations' push.
00:02:54.000
The Marines came back into action only recently from the Hongnam B-10.
00:02:59.000
Despite obstacles, United Nations' forces drive on to the 38th parallel border of North Korea.
00:03:18.000
Here's the reason I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
00:03:26.000
I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
00:03:30.000
And where do people like that go to share the big line?
00:03:35.000
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:03:40.000
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:03:44.000
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:04:00.000
It's Wednesday, 25 June, in the year of the Lord, 2025.
00:04:04.000
75 years ago today, the beginning of the Korean War.
00:04:11.000
You know, the legislation they passed was being a police effort, a police action.
00:04:22.000
Just like President Trump got the other day between the Persians and the Israelis.
00:04:38.000
He finally got NATO to step up to the plate for a meaningful defense.
00:04:45.000
Folks, I don't think it's easy to comprehend what a massive victory that is for President Trump.
00:04:51.000
These were people at the beginning, they couldn't even get to 2%.
00:04:55.000
They committed to 2% when they overthrew the democratically elected,
00:05:00.000
although Putin aligned, government in Ukraine in a color revolution driven by the United States State Department.
00:05:11.000
Well, NATO said they had to go to 2% of the time.
00:05:16.000
And if you actually looked at what they were spending, it was on climate change and women's health care and just everything but combat arms.
00:05:23.000
Everything about anything but interoperability maneuvers had to actually work as an alliance.
00:05:37.000
President Trump, and it was quite endearing today.
00:05:43.000
We're honored to have Senator Eric Schmidt from the great state of Missouri.
00:05:52.000
I know you couldn't see it, but it was about the Korean War.
00:05:55.000
We couldn't play it this morning because we covered for the first hour President Trump's remarks and his amazing press conference.
00:06:02.000
I know you've got a lot of thoughts on this, on burden sharing and being an ally.
00:06:06.000
What do you take away from President Trump's trip to the Netherlands for the two-day summit, sir?
00:06:12.000
Well, Steve, it's great to be with you, by the way.
00:06:15.000
I think it's pretty remarkable that, you know, I consider myself a realist, right?
00:06:24.000
We're moving away from this sort of neoliberal, this neoconservative, this kind of Wilsonian view of the world where so many of the foreign policy blob in this town and permanent Washington think we could be everywhere all at once all the time.
00:06:37.000
Like, if you believe in scarcity, we have to make decisions.
00:06:39.000
What are the core interests of the United States of America?
00:06:42.000
Clearly, the 21st century is going to be defined by who wins this great competition, us or China.
00:06:47.000
So Europe has to step up in a much more meaningful way.
00:06:50.000
So President Trump having that conversation with European leaders in, you know, 2017 and 2018, very different than the reception he got today, which I think is telling and why the election was so important in 2024.
00:07:04.000
And I think I actually went to Munich, the security conference I had never been.
00:07:08.000
And I went this February, J.D. Vance was over there, too, and, of course, delivered that really important speech about free speech.
00:07:14.000
And I went over there to tell him not what these Europeans wanted to hear, but the truth, which is you need to step up.
00:07:20.000
Like, this dynamic that existed after World War II where we kind of had an umbrella of security, we had these ridiculous trade deals, all of that was to make sure that they could, you know, stave off Soviet communism.
00:07:31.000
Well, after the Cold War, we never really adjusted.
00:07:33.000
And now is the time for that kind of adjustment from a foreign policy perspective.
00:07:39.000
And then also on the trade side, which is why, you know, it's so important what President Trump's trying to do to rebalance the equation on trade, too.
00:07:48.000
Now, the proof will be in the pudding, Steve, as you know, they've made sort of these great flowery speeches before.
00:07:57.000
Like, pensions and percentage of GDP don't win wars.
00:08:02.000
And the problem, of course, Europe has is they have an atrophied, you know, defense industry and the deindustrialization that even Germany now is experiencing.
00:08:11.000
But at least this is positive momentum, and it's really all because of President Trump.
00:08:15.000
You know, they're hectoring President Trump about the different intelligence reports.
00:08:20.000
And, of course, he says, hey, look, it's total obliteration, and we did our job.
00:08:30.000
What are your thoughts on the 12-day war and where we stand right now?
00:08:33.000
He said, hey, look, the Iranians may come in next week.
00:08:39.000
And what's the folks in Missouri's sense of all this?
00:08:42.000
Well, I tell you, you know, we were in this kind of Ukraine debate, what, a year and a half ago, like more money for Ukraine.
00:08:49.000
And I would say on the Senate floor, speaking out against the additional money was there's literally been no person in Missouri who's ever come up to me and said, you know what, Eric, we want you to go fight for another 60 or $80 billion for Ukraine.
00:09:00.000
They just never came up, ironically, securing their border while we had a wide open southern border.
00:09:05.000
So now, you know, I think that, again, this sort of realism view is kind of taking hold.
00:09:10.000
And I think what President Trump, the most important thing, Steve, that happened, I think, in the last week, and I talked to President Trump to thank him because I was talking to him.
00:09:18.000
I didn't want to get us dragged into some long protracted conflict in the Middle East.
00:09:24.000
Now, a targeted, overwhelming Jacksonian sort of show force on a key strategic core national interest of the United States, that's one thing.
00:09:33.000
But I think his ability and the restraint that he showed in pivoting to peace and a ceasefire was really important because, trust me, there were plenty of people in this town who were wanting him to be, you know, more engaged and have more involvement and pull us in.
00:09:48.000
And I think if we've learned anything from the last 30 years, which I hope we have, is that that's just not our role.
00:09:53.300
We can't be the cop on the beat around the world.
00:09:55.780
We've got a lot of problems here that we need to address.
00:09:57.840
We still need to be, you know, sort of a dominant military, but overwhelming force only when it's in our interest and we're not going to have, we're not going to be, you know, nation builders around the world with this kind of wandering foreign policy that's dominated the last 30 years.
00:10:12.660
By the way, our audience remembers because we played your, we played your speech in its entirety from the floor.
00:10:18.780
And I think it's one of the big reasons, you know, Mitch McConnell's not majority leader, I think was your speech and a couple others that really, you stuck the landing.
00:10:25.100
By the way, Missouri had a pretty big part in this, right?
00:10:37.320
Like, literally, if you cross a couple double yellow lines, they'll shoot you on sight.
00:10:40.520
Like, it's like, you know, importantly so, right, because those B-2s are all there.
00:10:46.180
But to, you know, the deception, you know, having a couple go to Guam, meanwhile, the others were flying eastward.
00:10:51.720
But to be in that cockpit for 30 straight hours, you know, no real signal intelligence, and to drop bunker-busting bombs on something the size of a wheelbarrow is pretty remarkable and very effective.
00:11:03.700
And they effectively obliterated Iran's nuclear weapon ambition.
00:11:07.660
So, yeah, kudos to the men and women who were part of that, white men.
00:11:13.540
I know we want to try to get them to the White House at some point.
00:11:17.920
Senator, before you became – before you came to the U.S. Senate, you were one of the toughest attorney generals in the country.
00:11:25.280
What is your sense – because I know the president talks to you a lot about this.
00:11:28.040
What is your sense of these judges and you're seeing these – we've got the deportations and they get orders from the Supreme Court.
00:11:40.580
Is part of the judiciary an act of revolt against not just the rule of law but also Article II of the Constitution, sir?
00:11:49.920
And you saw, I think, the most glaring example yet.
00:11:53.160
Actually, my Solicitor General, John Sauer, became the Solicitor General of the United States.
00:11:57.500
And then the first four district court judges out of the gate were in my AG's office.
00:12:01.080
So we're really proud of what the imprint Missouri's had on kind of fighting for the rule of law.
00:12:06.960
We pushed back against the vaccine mandates and won.
00:12:10.920
Of course, the censorship case, we brought that.
00:12:12.960
We had the student loan debt forgiveness case we won at the Supreme Court.
00:12:17.860
And what you see now is this judge in Massachusetts just yesterday defying the Supreme Court order.
00:12:28.680
This is outside the bounds of any reasonable discussion, right?
00:12:32.760
But I think here, my take on it, Steve, ultimately is, as you saw with that decision from the Supreme Court and others,
00:12:38.820
these leftist district court judges, these real activist judges, they kind of have their 50, like Boasberg, right?
00:12:46.780
But as they make their way up the court system and ultimately the Supreme Court,
00:12:49.880
I think President Trump is by and large going to be successful with his agenda.
00:12:52.580
Because, of course, the president, who's the only person elected by the entire country,
00:12:57.600
the head, basically, of the Article II branch, can make decisions on personnel and programming.
00:13:02.540
He has immense authority, of course, you know, under the Alien Enemies Act.
00:13:07.140
We're tied legislation to expand the expedited removal provisions of the 1990s reform that allowed him to remove people quicker.
00:13:15.680
So all of these things, as they play out, even though there's, I think, a lot of kicking and screaming,
00:13:19.580
by and large, he's going to be pretty successful.
00:13:22.040
But it is, I think you're seeing sort of the last gasp of leftism as it made its way under the Article III branch.
00:13:34.900
Will the president be signing the big, beautiful bill on the 4th of July on his desk?
00:13:38.900
Or we've still got a ways to go, some work in the Senate to do?
00:13:41.800
There's still some work in the Senate, but I'm still hopeful.
00:13:44.860
But, yeah, we're working through all that right now.
00:13:48.060
Senator Schmidt, where do people go to find out more about you, your website, your social media?
00:13:52.280
How do people, you know, get to know you better?
00:13:55.840
Yeah, yeah, Eric underscore Schmidt, S-C-H-M-I-T-T.
00:13:58.980
I'm pretty active on X, and then we're on, you know, Instagram and Facebook and all that, too.
00:14:04.580
We encourage people to reach out and interact, and we'll have to get on your show more often, Steve.
00:14:11.880
The president speaks incredibly highly of you, and I know he appreciates your guidance, sir.
00:14:16.740
So thank you very much for coming on, and thank you for representing the great people in the great state of Missouri.
00:14:28.240
That is, Missouri is a, not just a red state, it's MAGA country.
00:14:33.040
Okay, we're going to take a short commercial break.
00:14:35.860

Ultimate guide for investing in gold and precious metals in the age of Trump.
00:14:51.620
Get up the learning curve or why gold is a hedge in times of turbulence.
00:14:55.440
Alistair Gross in New York City on the other side.
00:15:00.300
This July, there is a global summit of BRICS nations in Rio de Janeiro.
00:15:04.980
The block of emerging superpowers, including China, Russia, India, and Persia,
00:15:10.620
are meeting with the goal of displacing the United States dollar as the global currency.
00:15:18.440
As BRICS nations push forward with their plans, global demand for U.S. dollars will decrease,
00:15:23.940
bringing down the value of the dollar in your savings.
00:15:27.120
While this transition won't not happen overnight, but trust me, it's going to start in Rio.
00:15:33.580
The Rio Reset in July marks a pivotal moment when BRICS objectives move decisively
00:15:39.040
from a theoretical possibility towards an inevitable reality.
00:15:43.860

00:16:30.900
Okay, to talk about politics and economics, national security.
00:16:39.060
You know, President Trump had a great talk today about Secretary of War and EOB, that building we've shown you many times when the dignitaries are coming up,
00:16:46.500
that kind of classical building that looks like it was built late in the 19th century.
00:16:54.420
That was the Secretary of War's end-state at one time.
00:16:58.880
And the older building, I think, was actually the War Department.
00:17:01.260
President Lincoln spent so much of the Civil War in the telegraph office.
00:17:04.580
But all these are kind of inextricably linked as we've talked about the convergence of these crises.
00:17:11.760
And so what's happening in the Middle East, in the war, the 12-day war, and what's happening in Kiev,
00:17:19.540
and President Trump today saying, hey, 7,000 casualties last week on the Ukraine side.
00:17:28.920
He's trying to stop, as we talk about the kinetic part of the Third World War.
00:17:31.920
Sure. But this war is also, in politics, we say all the time that the central front is in Los Angeles,
00:17:38.860
the streets of Los Angeles in Chicago, where, you know, 10 million, at least 10 million illegal aliens,
00:17:44.240
just here on Biden's watch, I'm not even talking about the 30 or 40, because people say,
00:17:48.180
Steve, it's really 30 or 40. I go, yo, dude, I got it.
00:17:51.480
But if he can't take care of the 10 that came in absolutely in an invasion in the last four years,
00:17:57.580
then you're never going to take care of, you're never going to sort out the rest.
00:18:03.940
You know, Senator Schmidt was just talking about it.
00:18:08.080
The Supreme Court comes out and says President Trump can deport the bad hombres
00:18:11.800
and send them to different countries, and it's 100 percent not a question.
00:18:16.440
You've got judges to find the Supreme Court up in Massachusetts.
00:18:20.200
So this is a war to the knife on so many fronts,
00:18:24.640
and that's what we try to do here in the war room.
00:18:27.040
Yesterday in New York City was a tectonic plate shift, okay?
00:18:33.080
It was an explosion of something we've been following a lot.
00:18:41.400
We've been following this campaign because it's quite extraordinary.
00:18:43.860
And one of the reasons we didn't want to cover it too much,
00:18:46.120
we wanted to give it too much air until we see how it played out,
00:18:48.660
although we were pretty solid in thinking that this young man could actually put it off
00:18:56.300
because Cuomo looked like he was not engaged all the time.
00:19:01.940
Alex, the candidate that won yesterday is the merger of the Red-Green,
00:19:05.280
and people have to take this very, very seriously.
00:19:07.240
This is the Red-Green merger, this kind of neo-Marxism coupled with jihadist strong beliefs,
00:19:16.440
and they've kind of merged together because they hate the Judeo-Christian West so much,
00:19:21.680
although they don't have the same belief system internally for each other.
00:19:26.620
What they want to do is take down the system and defeat the Judeo-Christian West,
00:19:34.220
And if people think this is, and I've talked about this so many times on the show,
00:19:39.620
It's one of the things Laura Loomer's been focused on.
00:19:44.140
Back in Breitbart, we started this over a decade ago, back in 2010 and 11 with Andrew,
00:19:50.600
and then after I took over in 12, this was a huge emphasis of ours.
00:19:53.660
We launched Breitbart, Jerusalem because of this.
00:19:56.980
One of the reasons we have Harnwell in Rome is to make sure we cover this.
00:20:06.080
In fact, these memes are going around with, like, the Statue of Liberty, Justin Hajib or Burka.
00:20:11.620
Rahim had to cover his book, I think, a decade ago.
00:20:13.960
He put the book up today, No Go Zones, which is still, if you read it today,
00:20:23.220
Now, on two photos, Alex DeGrasse is our expert.
00:20:26.620
Alex, first off, I want you to describe who this guy is,
00:20:28.560
but I'm telling people right now that this was one of the most sophisticated election operations I've ever seen
00:20:36.260
as far as understanding how to message, of understanding how to present your message,
00:20:43.600
This young man and the team around him are as sophisticated.
00:20:49.500
And I say I've seen a couple of great social media campaigns win,
00:20:54.160
basically in order, Trump in 16, when we really had nothing,
00:21:00.040
Salvini, I think, Salvini in 17 and 18, and then Bolsonaro.
00:21:06.900
All three of those won with the use of social media, with very little money and very little understanding.
00:21:11.760
But Trump, Salvini in Italy, and then Bolsonaro in Brazil.
00:21:16.260
This one, I'll be brutally frank, folks, this was next level.
00:21:20.320
This was like the sophistication of Obama back in the primary against Hillary Clinton
00:21:25.280
after he had met with the Facebook guys in Zuckerberg.
00:21:28.240
And, you know, they kind of made that deal later to let the oligarchs be oligarchs,
00:21:32.880
Hillary Clinton ran an old-fashioned campaign and eventually got smoked.
00:21:37.620
This reminded me of the book, The Last Hurrah, right?
00:21:41.540
And John Ford made a film of which I think it was Curly in Boston,
00:21:47.920
He ran for, I think, the fifth or sixth time in the late 1950s in Boston
00:21:52.460
against some Republican who, I guess, or some guy who was going to go to PTA meetings
00:21:57.500
and school boards, and they were mocking this guy.
00:22:13.000
We've been following his campaign, certainly Team Elise,
00:22:16.540
as we plot and, you know, do a deep dive on Elise's possible path of victory
00:22:22.020
if she were to run for governor and his campaign.
00:22:26.060
You know, I would tell the posse, go see what these people are capable of,
00:22:29.800
the slick branding, the sort of, I mean, it looks like it's like a,
00:22:41.080
And, you know, what he's selling is insane, of course, on the issues.
00:22:44.120
He's a total, he's a total, exactly, the intersection of jihadism,
00:22:48.640
jihadism, as well as this green, you know, communism, just the whole thing merged.
00:22:59.640
Hang on, but to low-information voters, they don't know that.
00:23:06.340
To low-information voters, and he had a massive turnout, correct me if I'm wrong,
00:23:11.460
And Cuomo's was Frank Skeffington's campaign, the last Iraq.
00:23:15.320
He did the most traditional stuff, upper east side, upper west side,
00:23:18.380
go to the power brokers, go on the right shows, get set.
00:23:26.100
He ran a very traditional New York City Democratic primary power,
00:23:30.560
and he got smoked by a kid that totally, I think, in New York City at least,
00:23:36.760
and I think that the rest of the country, for disruptors, kind of redefine how you actually run a campaign
00:23:46.660
I mean, he copied President Trump, and I was going to get, you know,
00:23:49.220
I mean, they did what the war room talked about.
00:23:51.060
I mean, they went and registered a ton of new voters,
00:23:54.360
not just that they registered tens and, I mean, tens and tens of thousands of Democrats
00:24:01.400
Something I've always talked about on the show that President Trump and his campaign excel at
00:24:07.860
New voters vote at a much higher rate than, you know, just sort of already registered voters, right?
00:24:16.140
They change the target matrix, just like President Trump did.
00:24:19.700
He had low propensity voters, like you can't imagine, coming out for him in massive numbers
00:24:25.760
Now, we saw those early vote numbers, and we understood this thing was cake.
00:24:30.540
You know, the cake was baked, and we've been telling everyone, you know, all the money guys,
00:24:34.700
everyone hitting us up, hey, what do you think?
00:24:35.940
I'm like, I would save your money and not spend it on Cuomo because, you know, some of these
00:24:40.460
Democrats, you know, finance guys, right, because they're scared, Steve.
00:24:44.420
I mean, the taxes, this, that, and everything else.
00:24:57.460
All I would hear from my friends in New York City, you know, I'm a New Yorker.
00:25:03.460
We see these people literally everywhere, Steve.
00:25:06.520
You don't build an army like this and then send them home.
00:25:10.160
Someone said that to me, a very smart, you know, Democrat operative, and who's not on
00:25:14.440
the side of these communists, which, what they are, they're not socialists.
00:25:22.380
You know, one of his major platforms is seizing grocery stores and turning them into government-run
00:25:32.140
And, you know, no one's ever said this type of stuff before, really, at least in our country.
00:25:37.760
And I think it's a big wake-up call for people, I think, in general.
00:25:41.220
But you don't build an army like this, which he built, and then send these people home,
00:25:44.760
They're going to take this all over the country.
00:25:48.660
They haven't gotten to the jihad and everything like that.
00:25:51.200
But because I talked to some professional people who totally missed it, but then there
00:25:56.280
are a couple of people I know who had been involved in politics, and they're brilliant,
00:26:00.380
and one of them kept saying, the media is missing this, but this is a modern version or newer
00:26:07.040
version of AOC versus, was it Joe Crowley, Joe Crowley, in that primary?
00:26:15.500
And Cuomo is not showing up like Joe Crowley blew off AOC.
00:26:18.820
Next thing you know, you've got AOC, and she's a national figure.
00:26:21.600
This guy's already become a national figure in the Democratic Party overnight, kind of
00:26:25.360
as he should be, but I tell people, you've got to be very careful in thinking this through
00:26:32.460
because this is a smart, don't think you're going to just go on some sloganeering and blow
00:26:40.040
You've got to be very, if you're going to defeat him, and to me, he's got to be defeated.
00:26:46.720
What he's promising and the upbeat promises are going to drive, the corporation's going to
00:26:57.340
I mean, people are already talking about, you know, the real estate.
00:27:02.540
Certainly, the governor of New York has a lot of influence and power over the mayor, so
00:27:08.660
Certainly, our phones have been ringing off the hook from Democrats, Republicans, independents,
00:27:12.960
money guys all over the place, kind of gaming this out, wondering what's going on.
00:27:17.300
No, I mean, this guy, look, Cuomo is very flawed, and it was sort of a pipe dream, and that's
00:27:22.700
what's crazy about these Democrats, right, with Kamala, with Biden.
00:27:25.400
It's like, they're so out of touch, the elites, you know, just, I mean, they had like $40 million,
00:27:34.980
It's sort of out of like 10, 15 years ago, Steve.
00:27:42.080
One of Cuomo's paid canvassers is dancing, saying he's voting for Mamdani, wearing a Cuomo
00:27:48.200
And he's with Mamdani, and they're dancing, you know.
00:27:50.340
So they had this thing totally, totally locked up.
00:27:56.860
That was sort of a pipe dream, I think, for the media that sort of can't accept the fact
00:28:01.800
that the Democrat Party is going in this direction of full-blown jihadists.
00:28:09.520
I want to get into all that, but I've got to take a short commercial break.
00:28:16.360
It has national implication, maybe even international, as the world came to visit in this primary.
00:28:27.240
There's something happening with our farmland here in the United States that isn't getting
00:28:32.380
The Chinese have been buying up hundreds of thousands of acres of U.S. farmland.
00:28:38.080
They're also taking control over critical supply chains, things like fertilizer, animal feed,
00:28:47.260
They're tightening their grip on global food production.
00:28:52.280
And if things go south, and it could happen quickly, we need to be ready.
00:29:00.200
They're America's largest emergency preparedness company.
00:29:03.920
And right now, when you get their four-week emergency food supply, you'll get a free four
00:29:17.260
And right now, when you get their four-week emergency food supply, you'll get four free
00:29:29.740
You're going to get four free 72-hour food kits.
00:29:33.860
That's an extra 12 days of food, and it's absolutely free.
00:29:37.420
That's four weeks of delicious meals that last up to 25 years, delivering 2,000-plus calories
00:29:48.640
We can't control what the Chinese Communist Party does.
00:29:56.600
Go to MyPatriotSupply.com today to claim your 12 days of free food.
00:30:17.440
Folks, this is one that's going to take up a lot of mindshare.
00:30:21.780
One, I think the Democrats feel they've got a, on one hand, the younger Democrats feel they've
00:30:26.920
got a, not just a message, because it's all about affordability.
00:30:30.520
This guy did own the affordability issue, and Republicans have got to focus on this,
00:30:39.700
The rate of people getting married is later, family formations.
00:30:43.940
The reason is people just don't have good jobs.
00:30:46.200
25% of Harvard's graduating class do not have jobs right now.
00:30:53.500
And I'm not saying they're great, but hey, that's kind of a benchmark, right?
00:30:55.980
You come out of a school like Harvard, you think you get your ticket punched, you should
00:31:02.040
Alex, the details of why this should be a wake-up call for Republicans, not just to
00:31:08.960
dismiss this, saying, oh, it's just Democrats in New York, you've got a bunch of crazy progressives.
00:31:12.680
The warning signs that, I say this is like a DEFCON 2 of people should pay attention.
00:31:19.080
First off, if you don't like the Nancy Pelosi's and Chuck Schumer's, I think they're being showed,
00:31:25.380
even Hakeem Jeffries, if they don't show them the door, they're essentially in the Joe Crowley
00:31:30.860
Cuomo class that these young people in the Democratic Party that are far, far left are dismissing
00:31:40.140
Yeah, I think if you're an establishment Democrat across the country, you should be very worried
00:31:45.420
because it's very clear that the heart and pulse of the Democrat Party is sort of into
00:31:53.420
That's where the support is, pretty overwhelmingly.
00:31:56.520
Because it's not just Mamdani, but when you add up the rest of these fools that were running,
00:32:01.020
some of these guys that got five, Lander, these random people, they're at 10%, you equal
00:32:06.860
Cuomo, I mean, it's like only one-third, Steve.
00:32:09.760
So when only one-third is even voting, and Cuomo, as far left, as far as I'm aware of, he
00:32:16.620
You know, he's the reason why New York is in the gutter.
00:32:22.800
And so the stakes are high, because I think you're going to see a lot of these candidates
00:32:26.600
And I think it's important that people really look into who they are, who they're tied
00:32:30.920
Mamdani's staff, Steve, has ties to terrorist organizations.
00:32:35.880
You know, former members of the DSA, all these people.
00:32:40.300
And the war room has been at the forefront of talking about the converging jihadist.
00:32:44.300
Really, Marxist, communist, green kind of energy type people, crazies, all climate change
00:32:54.240
He owned the Republican narratives, affordability, right?
00:32:58.000
Costs of living, jobs, housing crisis, everything else.
00:33:01.560
He's selling crazy prescription, but it spread like wildfire.
00:33:05.640
And the big thing, Steve, is you're looking at the CCP.
00:33:08.800
They've got massive influence in New York City.
00:33:11.220
I mean, we've talked about it on this show, the infiltration of the local New York City
00:33:19.640
What I'm hearing from folks, what we're seeing online, what some sort of analysts are looking
00:33:23.500
at is sort of how bots and other people have tried to juice him with the algorithm.
00:33:27.800
And it's really concerning, I think, looking at some of the people tied to his campaign,
00:33:33.040
have direct ties into communist sort of exterior, those kind of groups that are, you know,
00:33:40.420
So I think more of this is going to come as he now becomes a target on the national stage.
00:33:46.160
You know, the Cuomo, they just didn't have a handle on it.
00:33:48.620
And, you know, Democrats, they struggle to try to fight each other because they've got
00:33:54.460
What shocked me, did Cuomo have an oppo department at all?
00:34:00.640
Obviously, the media is going to treat him like, you know, the second coming.
00:34:08.980
You know, it's just happy, clappy the whole time.
00:34:11.820
Cuomo, who used to be a pretty tough hombre, never laid a glove on this guy.
00:34:16.200
Did Cuomo even have an oppo group doing opposition research for this guy?
00:34:20.480
Because this young man is quite dicey and very questionable, sir.
00:34:26.860
Yeah, so I've heard from a bunch of very well-sourced liberal journalists who have been really chatty
00:34:33.100
this morning and checking in with us, and they've made clear that they've heard from
00:34:37.480
those around Cuomo that there was no oppo book, there was no operation.
00:34:41.140
Of course, they were hitting him on the anti-Semitism issue and some of those bread and butter stuff,
00:34:45.920
but they really weren't looking into this guy's past.
00:34:50.900
I mean, he just moved to this country seven years ago.
00:34:52.800
I think he had a wedding in UAE, hundreds of thousands of dollars.
00:34:57.260
His parents are tied in with all these radical groups.
00:35:03.420
I mean, this is really, you know, something out of a book in many regards.
00:35:09.700
I think now the country is sort of looking at this.
00:35:11.980
I know people on the right, people on the left, people all over the place,
00:35:14.640
kind of what is going on, scratching their heads.
00:35:18.680
New York City's got, what, 1.3 million Jewish people, I think.
00:35:22.320
A ton of young Jewish people came out and voted for this guy.
00:35:31.140
I mean, all the issues that have come up on Columbia and all the arrests down to Washington Square Park,
00:35:37.400
how big this has been, this kind of intifada-supporting revolt by the worst elements, right?
00:35:45.180
It's shocking that they used that to their advantage.
00:35:48.040
That's why I'm saying it better be a wake-up call for people because 26 is going to come.
00:35:57.900
Now, you can strip the bark off this guy, which I'm sure whoever eventually, if it's Cuomo or Adams or Curtis Sowa,
00:36:06.640
I think is a great guy, but he's a novelty candidate.
00:36:13.680
Somebody's going to do the oppo and just hold him accountable.
00:36:16.900
But there are lessons here for the Republican Party.
00:36:20.020
Like you said, they took a little of the populist issues.
00:36:25.940
Of course, he's got these bizarre communist socialist solutions,
00:36:29.880
but they knew that people want people that are going to fight.
00:36:38.300
You know, this is kind of the rent's too damn high.
00:36:40.960
And, you know, I can't, my job doesn't pay anything.
00:36:45.900
Alex DeGrasse, what are the big lessons you take away as a strategist?
00:36:54.020
I think, obviously, he sort of sees the moment, was everywhere, you know, using.
00:36:59.220
I think the key is that he is leading a movement.
00:37:03.580
Just like President Trump leads a movement that we're all probably part of.
00:37:07.860
And you've got, now it's sort of the next level here.
00:37:10.540
See, we've got two movements and there's going to be a collision, of course.
00:37:13.720
You've got President Trump out here bashing him as a communist psychopath or whatever you said.
00:37:18.620
But the reality is that a communist psychopath has hundreds of thousands of followers now that are mobilizing.
00:37:29.000
So I look forward to continuing as we track this, Steve, because I think this is going to be nationwide.
00:37:39.500
DSA candidates, working family, socialist candidates won in Albany, Buffalo, maybe Yonkers.
00:37:46.180
So all across New York State, people of this ilk, not as far out there as him, won in all these Democrat primaries.
00:37:55.380
And we've got to gear up because they're going to bring this new coalition.
00:38:02.300
And think about it, Alex, almost 25 years from 9-11.
00:38:12.540
His parents, his father, first of all, his branch, as Rahim went through today, the 12ers, are one of the most radical branches of all.
00:38:22.980
And his formation as a young man was through this.
00:38:26.860
And it's entering a big portion of young Jewish, progressive Jewish people voted for him.
00:38:31.520
Also, you dropped another bombshell to be in the break.
00:38:34.560
Are you saying he actually from some of the Orthodox neighborhoods?
00:38:37.820
And the Orthodox, as folks know, have been the backbone in these Jewish communities of the Trump MAGA vote.
00:38:43.340
Are you saying he's actually in some Orthodox neighborhoods actually voted for this guy?
00:38:48.180
He pulled out some votes there, of course, which people were surprised about.
00:38:52.260
And from the feedback we're hearing from those communities is that Cuomo just really had no get-out-to-vote operation.
00:39:04.960
And, hey, when you put that work in, you get votes.
00:39:07.080
That's what we've been saying on the show, Steve.
00:39:29.500
But the reality, just quickly, is the National Democrats who are calling him a star, well, then, honestly, they are going to own these crazy policies.
00:39:36.180
And this is going to be a big issue for them politically.
00:39:44.020
Their days, their half-life of those guys is shorter than the Republicans.
00:39:48.060
This is going to be a MAGA populist, you know, right-wing throwdown with this in this coming November.
00:40:04.900
All those people that dismissed Obama early on when you saw what he was doing.
00:40:09.720
Remember, he ran as an anti-war populist against the Clinton mafia.
00:40:22.020
Particularly in the heart, the financial capital of the world.
00:40:41.720
I was, today was a little, this morning was a little, I'm not convoluted.
00:40:45.780
But, because we had the, we had the president's press conference, his remarks, his press conference.
00:40:52.700
So, I kind of figured, hey, if they start on time, it'll roll right into the show, it'll be perfect.
00:41:05.340
The, you know, he's calling on Caitlin Collins.
00:41:08.260
He called on, like, the hardest, toughest people.
00:41:11.060
I think he called on the woman who actually worked.
00:41:13.060
So, he says, hey, there's another beauty, right?
00:41:15.820
And, just calling the toughest people to ask the toughest questions.
00:41:20.060
But, one of the points I wanted to get to was this explosive story in the Washington Post about Netanyahu and his government.
00:41:26.500
And, I know it's caused quite a stir in Jerusalem, quite a stir in Tel Aviv.
00:41:33.420
Grace, if you get it back into the chats, I need everybody to read it.
00:41:36.340
Because, over there, they're very nervous about it.
00:41:38.660
Because, it exposes, you know, there's supposed to be an ally and supposed to be a, working with the United States is quite evident.
00:41:48.280
And, I say this, Newsweek talked to me a little while ago.
00:41:55.660
We don't have an alliance with them, first off.
00:42:05.460
That special relationship, we're really a protectorate.
00:42:09.400
And, I think, you know, it's time for a thought, a rethinking, and a reset of that.
00:42:16.040
And, President Trump was as adamant as I've ever seen him in The Hague.
00:42:22.260
The nuclear capability of Iran, of the Persian, has been totally obliterated.
00:42:27.800
In case you didn't understand that, I think he sent out another true social after that.
00:42:31.220
But, I understand now there's going to be an 8 a.m. press conference with Pete Hegseth and others.
00:42:48.500
At least for some commentary and observations after that happens.
00:42:56.620
But, the most important thing is saying, hey, this war is over.
00:43:10.540
I realize for the Tel Aviv live-ins and all the town criers over at Fox News and the Murdochs and everybody that wants us to get sucked in.
00:43:25.000
He's going to have to come back and still negotiate big aspects of the big, beautiful bill.
00:43:35.040
He's going to have to make the deal and then close the deal.
00:43:44.160
You know, the Russians are kind of on the move.
00:43:48.920
President Trump, you can see how he's touched today, saying 7,000 dead.
00:43:52.800
So for all of those that support Israel and really support Israel, right, support Israel, not just any political group over there or government, it's time now really to pay attention.
00:44:15.940
The IRS doesn't mess around, and they're applying pressure like we haven't seen in years.
00:44:20.840
So if you haven't filed in a while, even if you can't pay, don't wait.
00:44:33.280

00:45:46.820
And we're going to spend a lot more time on that because, obviously, the financial capital of the world, also, it drives a big part of American politics.
00:45:58.360
I know already in the engine room there's some conflicting ideas and opinions about how this thing is going to play out.
00:46:07.540
Birchgold.com, end of the dollar empire, Philippatrion team, we're all going down to the Rio Reset.
00:46:13.540
I think Putin said that there was something today that Putin may not go because the arrest warrants from the ICC, not that they would arrest him in Brazil.
00:46:23.640
I'm not too sure the senior guy is going to go.
00:46:25.760
Their finance ministers are already talking about this situation with the Chinese and the Chinese trying to come up with alternative currencies.
00:46:33.740
I don't know if it's going to have some sort of gold certificate backing, but we're going to play it up.
00:46:37.340
But what you need to do is understand the debt ceiling, debt deficits, all of it, and the centrality of the U.S. dollar being the prime reserve currency in your life.
00:46:50.060
The 10-year treasury, you ought to be checking that every day, and the centrality of the dollar being the prime reserve currency and how that makes your life better sometimes, but also pulls more commitments for the good old United States of America.
00:47:10.240
It's not set up to make you the smartest person at the cocktail party or at the dinner party or sitting on the porch, maybe having an adult beverage, talking to folks or at the softball game, but you will get that, too.
00:47:23.640
This is now taught in college finance courses, some big universities.
00:47:40.800
People are tired of giving their money to these phone companies, mobile services that hate them and hate their values.
00:47:49.260
The questions are, if I switch here, is my phone going to work?
00:47:53.080
I mean, Patriot Mobile is not the size of some of these Goliaths.
00:48:03.180
Those are great questions that I get asked every day.
00:48:05.440
And, yes, your phone is going to work on Patriot Mobile because we run on the exact same networks.
00:48:10.700
We have the same 4G, 5G networks across this entire country.
00:48:14.520
And we have a plan that will fit everyone's budget.
00:48:17.380
And I promise that you can keep your phone and keep your phone number when you switch to Patriot Mobile.
00:48:22.440
And the best part is when you call to switch, you're going to talk to an American you can understand because we have all U.S.-based customer service.
00:48:29.900
And they're friendly and ready to help you get switched over today.
00:48:44.780
I understand one of the plans is you can choose every type of all the phone services to come in.
00:48:50.300
Of course, my staff does it all for me because I'm technologically a moron.
00:48:55.360
Yeah, so whether you're an individual, you're on a family plan, or you're a business of 1,000 lines, we have a plan to fit you.
00:49:02.260
We have plans starting at $26 a month all the way to $76.
00:49:05.220
Or if you're on a family plan, we have multi-line discounts just like the big carriers.
00:49:09.880
So I promise you all can get the same great coverage on Patriot Mobile.
00:49:14.160
And you're going to be obviously voting with your dollars as you talk about all the time when you talk about Patriot Mobile.
00:49:19.220
And so, yeah, let's do this together, right, because we're only as strong if we all link together.
00:49:24.520
Because as you were talking earlier, like our Constitution is under attack.
00:49:27.340
And when you join Patriot Mobile, when you get your welcome packet, you also get a Constitution.
00:49:32.160
And as you know, right, this is so under attack right now in America.
00:49:35.540
So call 972-PATRIOT, use code BANNON, and get a free month.
00:49:39.940
Or you can also go to PatriotMobile.com and check it out.
00:50:03.980
The reason we did, and we didn't have enough time in Iowa.
00:50:06.640
Tomorrow we're going to cover actually, I think it will be our other platforms.
00:50:12.240
We have many channels here on Getter and on Rumble to put things up.
00:50:20.620
The Koreans are going to do a live press conference from the National Press Club.
00:50:35.660
Not that Japan and Korea showing up is vitally important, but it's very important.
00:50:40.760
Because although they're not members, they're talking about what's going on with the Chinese Communist Party in the South China Sea.
00:50:46.280
And also their defense budget gained their defense budget back up to speed.
00:50:49.340
And as I've said, the CCP kind of controls the party that won the last election.
00:50:54.540
And so they showed no limited interest in coming.
00:50:57.360
The 75th anniversary, I think we're the only show that did anything at all.
00:51:02.580
Because it's kind of called the Unknown War, and it shouldn't be.
00:51:07.300
And the heroism of the American Marines and the U.S. Army, it's just incredible.
00:51:12.680
Of course, the Navy at that time was just the Air Force was starting to be broken off from the Army, the old Army Air Corps.
00:51:20.540
And we still have 25,000 troops in South Korea.
00:51:23.220
Just like I think we have, I don't know, 25,000 or 30,000 in Germany.
00:51:26.200
But throughout the world, I believe the number now is about 145,000 to 150,000.
00:51:31.000
And I'm not sure that totally counts all the carrier battle groups.
00:51:34.360
Like the two or three that are still in the North Arabian Sea for the 12-day war, which is over.
00:51:41.660
As President Trump has told us, he was victorious.
00:51:45.200
The elements he brought in to close it down were magnificent.
00:51:48.620
There will be a press conference at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning.
00:51:53.480
I think you'll get some war room participation also, Pete Hexeth.
00:51:57.420
Mike Lindell, we finish our 5 o'clock show when we can with you.
00:52:01.700

00:52:04.680
