00:00:01.000 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:00:06.000 Pray for our enemies,
00:00:08.000 because we're going medieval on these people.
00:00:11.000 Here's one time I got a free shot
00:00:13.000 at all these networks lying about the people.
00:00:16.000 The people have had a belly full of it.
00:00:18.000 I know you don't like hearing that.
00:00:19.000 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that,
00:00:21.000 but you're not going to stop it.
00:00:22.000 It's going to happen.
00:00:23.000 And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
00:00:26.000 MAGA media.
00:00:28.000 I wish in my soul,
00:00:30.000 I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:00:33.000 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:00:37.000 If that answer is to save my country,
00:00:40.000 this country will be saved.
00:00:43.000 War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Vann.
00:00:52.000 It's Thursday, 26 June in the year of our Lord, 2025.
00:00:57.000 Okay.
00:00:58.000 After I'm given that big, you know, oh, it's over.
00:01:01.000 We're getting out of the Middle East. 0.99
00:01:03.000 You know, no more.
00:01:04.000 Because CENCOM, the centrifugal,
00:01:06.000 the three most powerful institutions in this city,
00:01:09.000 and I'm even including justice and Supreme Court,
00:01:12.000 because they're very powerful,
00:01:13.000 but they're not quite at the top.
00:01:17.000 The three most powerful are the CIA, the Federal Reserve, and CENCOM.
00:01:23.000 CENCOM.
00:01:24.000 CENCOM has a gravitational pull that even Obama couldn't pivot away.
00:01:28.000 We, even President Trump, who did an amazing job in the first term,
00:01:32.000 very tough, and right now they got it.
00:01:34.000 Even as we were speaking, and I'm saying, hey, it's over,
00:01:37.000 President Trump, it's total obliteration, done.
00:01:40.000 He's even going to let the mullahs get some cash.
00:01:43.000 He's moving on.
00:01:44.000 He's sending out true social support.
00:01:46.000 Even as it just comes across, breaking news.
00:01:52.000 U.S. intelligence believes Pakistan is developing a nuclear-armed ICBM
00:01:59.000 capable of reaching the United States.
00:02:03.000 This is Pakistan that President Trump just had the Chief of Staff of the Army
00:02:06.000 and nominated President Trump for the Nobel Prize, right?
00:02:09.000 Officially nominated for the Nobel Prize.
00:02:11.000 Here's my point.
00:02:13.000 Pakistan has had, I don't know, 181 nuclear weapons.
00:02:17.000 You had Dr. Khan who actually spread it, I think, to North Korea.
00:02:21.000 And these guys, people said this is how people in the Middle East
00:02:25.000 have gotten nuclear weapons, et cetera.
00:02:27.000 That's not the point of this.
00:02:29.000 The point of this, this is another MacGuffin.
00:02:31.000 And I'm not saying they can't develop ICBMs.
00:02:34.000 Why does it come, why is it released on the very day Trump said,
00:02:41.000 hey, the war is over and we're not going to fight a war in Iran.
00:02:47.000 We're done.
00:02:49.000 We're done.
00:02:50.000 This is the deep state.
00:02:52.000 This is the arms manufacturers.
00:02:54.000 This is the madness that drives this town.
00:02:56.000 And if we don't break it and we don't break it now, we don't break it now,
00:03:01.000 it's never going to stop.
00:03:02.000 And it shouldn't be lost in you.
00:03:04.000 Netanyahu has always said, and we'll pull up the clips this afternoon,
00:03:08.000 after Iran, you know, Pakistan is going to be a problem. 1.00
00:03:11.000 Pakistan is going to be a problem. 1.00
00:03:15.000 It's insanity.
00:03:17.000 And they will not stop until we force it to stop.
00:03:22.000 And forcing it to stop is one, is we have to have incomplete and total clarity
00:03:28.000 about what is in the vital, vital national security interests of the United States.
00:03:33.000 Of course, there's many things that may touch the national security of the United States,
00:03:38.000 but the vital national security interests of the United States,
00:03:41.000 like the southern border and repelling this invasion.
00:03:44.000 This is why we argue for years.
00:03:46.000 Fox and, remember, Kiev Levin, he was Kiev Levin at that time,
00:03:50.000 Zelensky's Churchill, Zelensky's Churchill.
00:03:52.000 Remember how Fox, Zelensky's Churchill had all their little Ukrainian flags 0.91
00:03:56.000 and they pushed that.
00:03:57.000 Remember, same crowd pushing the Iran war, pushing, pushing Zelensky.
00:04:01.000 He was a Churchill.
00:04:03.000 He's Churchill.
00:04:04.000 I couldn't think of a guy farther from Churchill than Zelensky.
00:04:07.000 OK, they're pushing.
00:04:09.000 They're pushing that nonstop.
00:04:10.000 Why?
00:04:11.000 They want another forever war.
00:04:13.000 They want another forever war.
00:04:15.000 They're dead wrong on that.
00:04:17.000 And we kept saying the eastern Russian speaking border of two Slavic entities is not about the vital national security interests of the United States.
00:04:29.000 The southern border of the United States, which now has millions of illegal alien invaders coming through,
00:04:37.000 that's the vital national security interest.
00:04:40.000 But then then they all promoted Langford.
00:04:42.000 Oh, we got to have like a bill.
00:04:43.000 It's going to take 20 years to do it.
00:04:45.000 And you get two million illegal aliens a year before anything kicks in.
00:04:48.000 That's neoliberal neocon.
00:04:50.000 OK.
00:04:51.000 And what has President Trump done?
00:04:53.000 The hemispheric defense from Greenland to the Panama Canal in the Central Pacific in the three island chain.
00:04:59.000 OK, from the Arctic to the Panama Canal, including the Monroe Doctrine,
00:05:03.000 because Latin America or South America falls in there with our allies, Argentina,
00:05:08.000 and our soon-to-be ally again once Lula's turfed out of Brazil, of which we'll get him turfed out of Brazil eventually.
00:05:15.000 So, Captain Fennell, talk about the brilliance of the giants whose shoulders we stand on.
00:05:21.000 These guys, it's not like even President Trump has now reclaimed.
00:05:25.000 This is part of his, you know, you got Washington at the birth of the nation, General Washington,
00:05:30.000 Lincoln at the rebirth of the nation, and Trump of the reclamation, the reclaiming of our greatness.
00:05:35.000 And he talks about McKinley and tariffs all the time.
00:05:38.000 It's McKinley, it's the giants of the 19th century post-Civil War that manifest, that saw the global,
00:05:45.000 they saw the continental power of the United States to be a force for good.
00:05:49.000 And you know where they looked?
00:05:51.000 They didn't look to the Middle East.
00:05:54.000 They did not look to Europe.
00:05:56.000 They did not look to Sub-Saharan Africa.
00:05:59.000 They looked west to the vast Pacific.
00:06:03.000 The vast Pacific is Mackinder's, what Eurasia is to Mackinder, the heartland, 0.96
00:06:08.000 and whoever controls that will control Eurasia.
00:06:11.000 The central Pacific is bigger than that.
00:06:14.000 When you look at the Pacific, it takes up half the globe.
00:06:19.000 It's the reason that Jack Posovic and Captain Fennell and Lieutenant Stephen K. Bannon were 7th Fleet sailors because the core thrust of the Navy has always been in the Pacific.
00:06:33.000 Captain Fennell, the floor is yours.
00:06:35.000 Why is hemispheric defense so brilliant?
00:06:38.000 Why does that put us right in front of the Chinese Communist Party?
00:06:41.000 And they understand that.
00:06:42.000 The Chinese Communist Party are brilliant strategically.
00:06:44.000 They get it.
00:06:45.000 the Caribbean.
00:06:46.000 That's where they own the Panama Canal that we're taking back. 0.99
00:06:48.000 That's where they have carriers going east of the second island chain, sir.
00:06:54.000 Well, Steve, I think what you've described in terms of our focus as a nation on the Central Command AOR is something that, you know, it's a fact.
00:07:04.000 And we have been pouring precious resources into a lopsided Defense Department.
00:07:09.000 Yes, the Navy has ships. 0.98
00:07:11.000 Yes, the Navy still has carriers.
00:07:13.000 I know somebody was on last week that said we put all our eggs in the carrier basket.
00:07:17.000 But the fact of the matter is, as a nation, we have decimated the size of our Navy from 600 ships in 1986 until under 300 today.
00:07:28.000 While we've continued to grow and build the Army and the Marines, but mainly the Army and this obsessive focus on ground war, whether it's in the Middle East or Ukraine.
00:07:40.000 Now, who knows what they're going to do with this Pakistan report?
00:07:43.000 Let us not forget that India is a nation of over a billion people and is very concerned about Pakistan.
00:07:49.000 So I think we can have our friends in Delhi and in the Indian military look after Pakistan's programs. 1.00
00:07:57.000 We don't have to lurch over there.
00:07:59.000 But it seems like there is this obsessive pattern of trying to continually get us bogged down into this land warfare business and forgetting our responsibilities for maritime issues.
00:08:11.000 And as you said, the Pacific Ocean is massive.
00:08:14.000 The Pacific Ocean is 20 times the size of continental United States.
00:08:19.000 I say that again, 20 times the size.
00:08:23.000 Okay?
00:08:24.000 It's huge.
00:08:25.000 It's massive.
00:08:26.000 And China has been expanding into it for the last quarter of a century while we have been sitting by and doing nothing. 0.95
00:08:32.000 You have Cleo Pascal on frequently to tell us how the Chinese are making inroads into Oceania, the South Pacific Islands, the Central Pacific Island chains, where they're advancing their diplomatic and economic interests there and pushing us out. 1.00
00:08:46.000 They're building the military.
00:08:47.000 They're building the economic strength.
00:08:49.000 And you talked about the greats of the 20th century.
00:08:52.000 Well, we had before World War II, we had great men from both parties and women, but mostly men, that said, look, Japan's growing.
00:09:01.000 We need to do something.
00:09:02.000 And they said that in the late 30s.
00:09:04.000 And by 1940, we passed the Two Ocean Navy Ship Act, which essentially built the Navy that defeated the Imperial Japanese Navy.
00:09:13.000 It took three years for that Navy to come online from the first time that those resources were passed by Congress until they showed up in the Pacific for Admiral Nimitz to use.
00:09:23.000 Three years when we had an industrial base that could deal with that money and produce those ships. 0.93
00:09:29.000 We don't have that industrial base today.
00:09:31.000 So we are in a very dire situation when it comes to the maritime domain.
00:09:37.000 And we need to get off and we need to stop this idea that each service gets a co-equal share.
00:09:44.000 Because if we continue down that line, we will never be able to restore the power of the U.S. Navy in our maritime domain.
00:09:51.000 You saw the president in Europe say to the Finns, hey, you guys make great icebreakers.
00:09:56.000 We're going to buy some from you.
00:09:57.000 Can you imagine a president of the United States having to say that 50, 80, 100 years ago that we're going to buy ships, icebreakers from Finland?
00:10:07.000 Well, today we have to because it's a reality of where we're at.
00:10:10.000 And I know President Trump's going to do everything in his power to restore that.
00:10:14.000 But one of the key things that he has to do is he has to take and he needs to get this National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2026, the one that's being worked on right now that's going to go into the big, beautiful bill.
00:10:29.000 And somebody needs to grab that, the Secretary of the Navy, and they need to have a knife fight to say, why are we spending all this money on ground warfare equipment?
00:10:40.000 Right now, the U.S. military has over 50 Army brigade combat teams.
00:10:46.000 Each one of those teams is 4,000 to 5,000 people.
00:10:49.000 And when you take into the construction cost and the duration or the length of service of one of those teams, it costs four or five times as much as it does for a U.S. Navy destroyer, which only has 300 people.
00:11:02.000 And U.S. Navy destroyers are multi-mission platforms.
00:11:05.000 They can shoot down incoming missiles.
00:11:07.000 They can shoot land attack cruise missiles.
00:11:10.000 They can do many things.
00:11:12.000 Whereas an Army Brigade combat team is designed for one thing, to put boots on the ground in the Middle East or wherever else we're going to go, like in Ukraine.
00:11:21.000 So we've got to ask ourselves, we have to have a strategic pause right now in the Defense Department to say, where do we think our strategic vulnerabilities are vis-a-vis the People's Republic of China, which is the existential threat? 0.97
00:11:36.000 They have declared war on us, and they've been gobbling up and taking territory, both physically and economically, diplomatically, and they've killed hundreds of thousands of Americans.
00:11:48.000 And we talk about Iran.
00:11:49.000 We talk about the Persians, and they talk about 1,000.
00:11:52.000 They've got to go back to 1983, the horrific bombing of the Marine barracks in Beirut to get to 1,000.
00:11:59.000 The Chinese Communist Party are killing, murdering 50,000 Americans every year just with fentanyl.
00:12:04.000 They have a chemical warfare.
00:12:06.000 It's a chemical warfare attack on the United States. 0.57
00:12:08.000 They already did a biological weapons attack on the pandemic. 0.64
00:12:11.000 These people are not – they're playing for keeps, okay?
00:12:15.000 They're playing for keeps.
00:12:16.000 They want to become a global hegemon, and we need to awaken to that, of where the real center of gravity of this.
00:12:23.000 Now, I just want to make sure when I was a junior officer and came off sea duty and worked for the CNO, when he says knife fights, this is the type of thing in the Pentagon that gets so brutal.
00:12:33.000 The inter – not agency, but the inter-service, robbery, and particularly for budget and resource allocation, is more brutal than we take to the enemy.
00:12:46.000 So I want to make sure, particularly – I don't want Captain Maureen Bannon kicked off the board at West Point as she starts.
00:12:52.000 We're going to have the Army on here to make their counterargument, at which they do a great job.
00:12:57.000 But we're going to begin on this show a strategic dialogue and a level of sophistication you're not going to get anywhere else.
00:13:04.000 Why?
00:13:05.000 This audience demands it.
00:13:06.000 Captain, for now, we've got to punch your latest article about the strategic brilliance of Midway, but how it informs us today of the decisions we have to make.
00:13:15.000 Where do people go to get that?
00:13:17.000 Yeah, it's entitled The Battle of Midway, The Big Beautiful Bill and Hard Choices.
00:13:21.000 It's on American Greatness.
00:13:22.000 You've got it up, and I'd ask people to look at it.
00:13:25.000 It's not that I'm anti-Army.
00:13:27.000 We need an army.
00:13:28.000 We desperately need an army.
00:13:29.000 But we don't have the Navy that we need to face the threat that is at the knife at our throats right now.
00:13:36.000 Amen.
00:13:37.000 Captain Jim Fennell, fantastic.
00:13:39.000 Two professionals, Posobiec and Captain Fennell, really appreciate you, sir.
00:13:43.000 President Trump, let me just reiterate this.
00:13:49.000 And he just put out one true social note about the brilliance of the briefing this morning.
00:13:54.000 The 12-day war is over.
00:13:57.000 President Trump had total obliteration with one of the most sophisticated and successful military operations.
00:14:04.000 By the way, the most sophisticated and brilliant since the Second World War.
00:14:09.000 And I would say maybe the bombing of Japan and the bombing of Germany and D-Day would be at the,
00:14:16.000 it may be submarine warfare, unrestricted submarine warfare.
00:14:19.000 That level of complexity of what he accomplished as Commander-in-Chief.
00:14:23.000 It's over.
00:14:25.000 The Tel Aviv Levin crowd and all the people that are chanting and being pom-poms up for a foreign government.
00:14:31.000 You understand.
00:14:32.000 It's over.
00:14:33.000 You lost.
00:14:34.000 You lost.
00:14:35.000 And without any name calling or throwing your toys out of the pram.
00:14:38.000 Understand one thing.
00:14:40.000 America comes first. 0.96
00:14:42.000 And American citizens come first. 0.98
00:14:45.000 We're pivoting out of the Middle East as we should. 1.00
00:14:49.000 And pivoting now to where we should be focused.
00:14:52.000 The hemispheric defense of the United States of America.
00:14:57.000 America.
00:14:58.000 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.
00:15:16.000 They're calling this the Rio reset.
00:15:19.000 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.
00:15:27.000 While this transition won't not happen overnight, but trust me, it's going to start in Rio.
00:15:33.000 The Rio reset in July marks a pivotal moment when BRICS objectives move decisively from a theoretical possibility towards inevitable reality.

00:16:27.000 Use your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:16:30.000 Okay.
00:16:32.000 I know the audience is waiting for this.
00:16:36.000 We're pivoting away.
00:16:38.000 Just like President Trump, we're pivoting away from the Middle East.
00:16:42.000 Once again, President Trump said no war.
00:16:45.000 We got other stuff to do.
00:16:47.000 And there's huge stuff going on, number one.
00:16:49.000 And I'm trying to make sure we get some experts.
00:16:52.000 So we're going to have Carrie Lake up in a minute, brilliant, yesterday over in the House. 1.00
00:16:59.000 We've got a huge news coming out of the Supreme Court.
00:17:02.000 And, of course, Terry's going to join us, Schilling.
00:17:06.000 Maybe the biggest news of the day for what's going on.
00:17:09.000 You should understand there's tons of fights going on behind the scenes in the Senate about exactly how to get this bill and somehow get it that you can have a vote that's close enough to what the House did that you don't have to go back to the House and have another vote and then go to conference.
00:17:25.000 Their belief is, because they didn't take the path early to go to two separate bills, their belief is that they do that.
00:17:32.000 And remember, they all want to get out of here in August.
00:17:35.000 And for the first time I can actually, when Washington's 100 degrees every day and 94% immunity, you can actually imagine maybe they should take August off.
00:17:43.000 But with so much to do, we would actually recommend being here and maybe having meetings every day with the FBI about what's going on over there.
00:17:52.000 But I digress.
00:17:55.000 The big, beautiful bill, because it's a reconciliation bill.
00:17:59.000 Now, remember, they're doing an appropriations process for 26 at the same time.
00:18:03.000 And I think we got the veterans appropriation finally voted.
00:18:07.000 But the reconciliation bill, when they talk about these numbers, it's kind of a gimmick to begin with.
00:18:14.000 It is it is a it's something that comes out of the Senate that you don't need to break the filibuster.
00:18:19.000 So you don't need 60 votes. You can actually do this in a majority.
00:18:23.000 And as we have a majority, a couple seat majority in the House, which we passed a bill last time, and you have what, 53, 47 in the Senate,
00:18:31.000 they're going to use as many of these reconciliations as they can.
00:18:35.000 So now we have this situation with the big, beautiful bill.
00:18:38.000 And in the term big, beautiful bill, they've been polling.
00:18:41.000 This doesn't poll well because people they don't really understand it.
00:18:44.000 And it sounds like you're going to spend a lot of money.
00:18:46.000 And people are saying, well, hey, we should be cutting money.
00:18:49.000 So there's all types of things in the reconciliation that I think don't directly go to actually budget related things into money.
00:19:01.000 And that's a problem.
00:19:02.000 So right now, the parliamentarian and the parliamentarian is a person that is not elected.
00:19:08.000 Right.
00:19:09.000 She actually deems it's kind of like in the British system.
00:19:12.000 They deem what can actually go to these bills.
00:19:15.000 And it's even different.
00:19:16.000 It's even more brutal than the Rules Committee.
00:19:18.000 My understanding is she has deemed overnight and this morning there's certain aspects that the Senate has been counting on, particularly this complexity of Medicaid.
00:19:28.000 And you've heard here recently over the last couple of days about the rural hospitals.
00:19:32.000 And they've actually said, you know, you've had Senator Hawley on here and other people.
00:19:36.000 They're saying, hey, the the the rural hospitals will get eviscerated in this.
00:19:40.000 You'll be shutting down all the rural hospitals in not just for the good of the country, but just thinking practically politically.
00:19:46.000 It's where a huge bulk of the MAGA base lives.
00:19:49.000 And you'll actually be taking the people that voted for you.
00:19:52.000 You actually be taking away any any shot at health care.
00:19:55.000 OK, we have a very special guest.
00:19:57.000 We're going to play.
00:19:58.000 We're going to play a cold open.
00:20:00.000 Is she by phone or zoom?
00:20:01.000 Wow.
00:20:02.000 Let me get Carrie Lake. 1.00
00:20:04.000 Let's get you in here. 0.99
00:20:06.000 Carrie.
00:20:07.000 First off, tell us, what are we about to see?
00:20:10.000 We're going to play something that's so extraordinary.
00:20:12.000 It's Carrie Lake at her best. 1.00
00:20:14.000 What are we about to show here, ma'am?
00:20:16.000 Well, I'm not sure exactly which clip from yesterday's hearing in the foreign, the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
00:20:22.000 But I went in and laid out all of the absolutely abhorrent, shocking and frankly,
00:20:30.000 espionage going on over at Voice of America and U.S. Agency for Global Media and all of its outlets.
00:20:37.000 I mean, I laid out the fact that we've got massive security failures where 1500 people were improperly screened.
00:20:44.000 And, you know, the intelligence agencies were telling it took away the ability for the agency to even screen people.
00:20:51.000 And mind you, they bringing in an exorbitant number of foreign nationals from hostile nations to work at this agency 1.00
00:20:58.000 to go out and tell America's story abroad.
00:21:01.000 I talked about hiring of spies, including Russian spies.
00:21:05.000 I talked about how there's no editorial control.
00:21:08.000 Management at U.S. Agency for Global Media has no editorial control over what goes out over the airwaves about America abroad.
00:21:16.000 But yet, some of the folks working there regularly go to the Chinese agency
00:21:22.000 and get messaging tips from CCP officials there about how they should cover China.
00:21:28.000 The list goes on and on and on.
00:21:31.000 There's also the shocking waste of money going on, including things like spending money on music festivals
00:21:38.000 and spending money on sponsoring a Afghan cricket team to the tune of 100,000.
00:21:44.000 It's just, the agency is complete rot.
00:21:47.000 I understand why President Trump wants us to boil this down to the statutory minimum.
00:21:52.000 And then he's called for the elimination of the agency by next year.
00:21:56.000 And so I'm working really hard to effectuate the president's executive order.
00:22:00.000 And I think I laid out a pretty good case of why the president's right here
00:22:03.000 and why we must continue to move forward in boiling this agency down to its statutory minimum
00:22:09.000 and then eliminating it come next year.
00:22:14.000 Okay. I'm going to hit rewind for a second.
00:22:16.000 If you can stay through the break, I want to play the clip on the other side
00:22:19.000 because it's Carrie Lake at her best. 0.92
00:22:21.000 And also, Carrie Lake is the best for taking incoming, right, and then giving it back to you. 1.00
00:22:26.000 But I want to hit this point.
00:22:28.000 This is how the deep state and the administrative state work.
00:22:32.000 This started as kind of a good idea at the end of World War II, right? 0.99
00:22:38.000 But it metastasized to a massive agency.
00:22:42.000 And Carrie, I want you to just go back.
00:22:44.000 Not only was it putting out information and propaganda that was counter,
00:22:50.000 not just to America first and Donald Trump, but counter to everything our country stands for.
00:22:55.000 It was infested with agents of influence and spies from all things.
00:23:01.000 And until Donald Trump empowered Carrie Lake and deputized Carrie Lake to be the new sheriff in town, 0.95
00:23:08.000 over and over and over again, Michael Pack, one of my filmmaking partners,
00:23:14.000 was out for three years getting crushed before McConnell actually let him come and get confirmed.
00:23:20.000 They eviscerated this guy's reputation because they didn't want him to get in there.
00:23:24.000 McConnell, right, and McConnell's wife.
00:23:26.000 He got in there and tried to do some changes.
00:23:29.000 And, of course, they had a revolt right away, and the Republicans drove their head.
00:23:34.000 When I talk about the corruptness of the Republican Party,
00:23:37.000 they allowed the Democrats to do this for decade after decade after decade after decade.
00:23:44.000 They basically have an anti-American propaganda arm paid by taxpayers
00:23:50.000 that they actively recruited agents of influence and spies to work against America.
00:23:56.000 And it wasn't until he picked one of the toughest broads I've ever met, 0.95
00:24:01.000 and that's Carrie Lake, to go in there and say, I don't care what you do. 1.00
00:24:05.000 I'm taking this thing down to the bolts, right, to the very basic statutory requirements,
00:24:12.000 and I'm getting all the spies out of here.
00:24:14.000 I'm getting all the agents of influence out of here, and we're stopping taxpayer money going in to pay for anti-American propaganda.
00:24:21.000 Carrie Lake, the floor is yours, ma'am.
00:24:24.000 Well, you know, and just last week it was announced that we issued another reduction in force.
00:24:30.000 I cut the workforce by 85% at this agency.
00:24:34.000 1,400 people have been terminated or been given notice of termination.
00:24:40.000 And we're going to make it lean and mean. We're down to 250 people.
00:24:43.000 We have the ability to ramp things up if big news were to break.
00:24:47.000 I think our coverage over the weekend of the bombings in Iran,
00:24:51.000 I think we did an exceptional job with a small, lean staff.
00:24:54.000 Actually, we were able to move more nimbly because it was a smaller staff.
00:24:58.000 And we're operating in just the languages that the statute requires.
00:25:02.000 It had gotten so out of control, we were basically providing local news to, you know, all places around the globe.
00:25:09.000 And the question was, why? Why are we doing local news in Botswana?
00:25:13.000 Why are we reaching places that we don't really have to focus in on?
00:25:18.000 And the worst thing is we were doing news, like you said, that went against what we believe as a country.
00:25:25.000 It was going against our national security interests.
00:25:28.000 And it was it was a skew to what we were doing on a world stage.
00:25:33.000 It was actually the antithesis of what we're trying to accomplish in diplomacy on a world stage.
00:25:38.000 So this agency is a giant rot and I'm working hard.
00:25:42.000 And you mentioned Michael Pack. He was in the hearing room yesterday.
00:25:45.000 He got the ball rolling with doing some investigations.
00:25:49.000 He never got the credit he deserved. He worked very hard.
00:25:52.000 They tried to tear him apart. And it should tell you how corrupt this agency is.
00:25:56.000 Michael Pack was given that role by President Trump early in his first administration.
00:26:03.000 They dragged their feet. It took three and a half years for them to confirm him
00:26:07.000 because they didn't want him to get in and look under the hood at this corrupt agency.
00:26:12.000 It's one of the deep state's most favorite agencies.
00:26:15.000 They call it pound for pound the most corrupt agency in all of Washington, D.C.
00:26:20.000 And I've been there now for a few months. I've been working really hard.
00:26:24.000 And I can affirm I believe it is the most corrupt agency in Washington, D.C.
00:26:31.000 I can't tell you and behind the scenes people are saying it's just such an amazing job you've done.
00:26:37.000 Pack was selected, I think, in February, March of 2017.
00:26:42.000 And they hung him out to drive for three and a half years, but he would not.
00:26:45.000 He would not. It's the longest from a nomination to a confirmation in the history of the Republic.
00:26:50.000 And it was Mitch McConnell and the deep staters in the Republican Party that didn't end there.
00:26:55.000 Wow. Kerry, hang on for a second, because we've got to play. 0.78
00:26:58.000 I've got to play just a small clip when we get back of you taking incoming and giving as good as you get.
00:27:05.000 I want to thank the guys at Birch Gold.
00:27:07.000 Birch Gold, obviously, you know, your 401K, IRA, all of that.

00:29:40.000 Are you ready to admit you lost the 2022 Arizona election?
00:29:45.000 It saddens me that you are from Arizona and you're okay with it. 1.00
00:29:49.000 That's a yes or no question, Ms. Lake.
00:29:51.000 It saddens me that you are from Arizona.
00:29:53.000 I think the answer is no.
00:29:54.000 Reclaiming my time.
00:29:55.000 The gentleman will suspend.
00:29:57.000 We'll stop the clock.
00:29:59.000 For all present, members are reminded to avoid engaging in personality toward the president and other members.
00:30:09.000 Okay.
00:30:10.000 And this is a member of the administration, so I would caution all to stay on the subjects and stay off of personalities.
00:30:18.000 I'd love to.
00:30:19.000 Please.
00:30:20.000 The gentleman may continue.
00:30:21.000 Yes.
00:30:22.000 And in this case, these are adjudicated lies.
00:30:24.000 Courts of law have determined that these are lies.
00:30:27.000 These are not me saying it.
00:30:29.000 You didn't just lie to the press.
00:30:30.000 The courts are really awesome right now.
00:30:31.000 You took those lies to court.
00:30:33.000 That's not how you treat other people that have been questioned.
00:30:35.000 The gentlelady will suspend, please. 1.00
00:30:37.000 Go ahead.
00:30:38.000 You lost for governor in 2022 to Katie Hobbs.
00:30:41.000 You lost even worse to Ruben Gallego for Senate in 2024.
00:30:46.000 Well, Arizona has another election for governor next year.
00:30:49.000 Will you do us all a favor and run it back and run for governor again?
00:30:55.000 I yield.
00:30:56.000 The gentlelady will respond.
00:30:57.000 Can I respond to some of that?
00:30:58.000 You may respond.
00:30:59.000 Because that was a complete insanity.
00:31:02.000 I wish I could yield back the last five minutes of my life, actually.
00:31:06.000 And I want to apologize to the people of Arizona that we have somebody who's representing the folks in one of our great parts of the Valley that doesn't care about the integrity of our elections.
00:31:16.000 What the editorial content is.
00:31:18.000 And I would hope that you would not be okay with that.
00:31:21.000 They could literally put out a lie about anybody here.
00:31:24.000 And I know you've been the victim of that.
00:31:26.000 I know you've been the victim.
00:31:27.000 I remember the stories about you where they said you had a gay lover.
00:31:32.000 And those were going-
00:31:34.000 Mr. Chairman.
00:31:35.000 Mr. Chairman.
00:31:36.000 Can I-
00:31:37.000 I hope you honor what you just gave as a caution to everyone.
00:31:41.000 And I moved those words-
00:31:43.000 To tell you that those kind of lies, and you said those were lies-
00:31:46.000 A rule if you want.
00:31:47.000 Those kind of lies could be broadcast today on VOA, and you couldn't pick up the phone, Representative Stanton, and call them and say, hey, you're putting out lies about me.
00:31:57.000 You would not be able to do that because they would sue you for breaking the firewall.
00:32:01.000 But most of all, what we reviewed was an executive order, March 14th, by the man who's in charge of the executive branch.
00:32:10.000 I want to know-
00:32:11.000 His name is Donald Trump.
00:32:12.000 Do you have a record that you can produce?
00:32:14.000 The chairman said you had a bunch of things with you.
00:32:17.000 Do you have a record of what you reviewed and who you reviewed to?
00:32:22.000 Yeah, we reviewed the statute.
00:32:23.000 Do you have a record? Yes or no?
00:32:24.000 We have the statute and we reviewed the statute.
00:32:26.000 Do you have a record?
00:32:27.000 Yeah, we can pull that statute for you.
00:32:29.000 If you have a, not the statute, the record of individuals that you reviewed, interviewed, or talked to before you committed your actions of dismantling-
00:32:39.000 I worked with, I talked to a lot of people at the agency.
00:32:42.000 Do you have a record of that?
00:32:43.000 You could go back and look at emails.
00:32:45.000 Do you have a record?
00:32:46.000 Do you want me to pull emails?
00:32:47.000 I want you to show the record of what you did, Ms. Lake.
00:32:51.000 Well, you can take a look at it.
00:32:52.000 Don't just give me something that's not verified.
00:32:54.000 Tell me, show me the record, because that's what I hear often times in the business, you have to have a record.
00:33:00.000 Show me the record that you did, what you did, that's all.
00:33:04.000 Oh my God, I love this so much.
00:33:07.000 Carrie Lake just pulls the grenade and rolls it into the tent. 1.00
00:33:11.000 Carrie Lake.
00:33:13.000 What was that all about, ma'am? 0.86
00:33:16.000 Well, Greg Stanton, the Representative Stanton, I urge everybody right now watching to go look at my tweet.
00:33:24.000 I just posted a photo of him, and I really wish he cared more about election integrity than his extracurricular activities.
00:33:31.000 I mean, this election integrity is a very important issue.
00:33:34.000 It's coming to the forefront.
00:33:35.000 We're starting to see some action and movement on getting to the bottom of what's been wrong with our elections for so long.
00:33:42.000 But the fact that he sat there and not only exposed himself about elections and how he doesn't care, but exposed himself on not caring about our national security.
00:33:52.000 On being okay with an agency that spends nearly a billion dollars bringing in folks from nations that are hostile to America rather than hiring American citizens.
00:34:02.000 You know, this is one of the deep state's favorite little agencies.
00:34:06.000 They're bringing in people, as I said, they weren't vetted.
00:34:09.000 Many of them have turned out to be problems, spies, national security risks.
00:34:15.000 And they're putting out anti-American information around the globe in many different languages.
00:34:20.000 And so I'm really proud of the fact that I am leading the charge to boil this thing down to what is absolutely mandated by law and nothing more.
00:34:29.000 And that's exactly what we're doing.
00:34:31.000 And I hope Greg Stanton takes a good look in the mirror and asks himself why he's even representing the people of Arizona if he doesn't give a damn about elections and if he doesn't give a damn about national security.
00:34:43.000 I just posted a photo of him that I think your listeners and viewers will be interested in.
00:34:49.000 It's on my Twitter.
00:34:51.000 We'll pull it out right now.
00:34:53.000 Kerry, magnificent job.
00:34:55.000 Everybody in town is talking about how you're at the forefront of, and really, this is how they've recruited agents of influence and spies for years at VOA.
00:35:05.000 Finally, we found somebody, the Joan of Arc of the MAGA movement, Kerry Lake, with the sweat.
00:35:11.000 You've got a steel spine.
00:35:12.000 People don't realize how tough you are.
00:35:14.000 I mean, they have attacked you nonstop every day to get you to stop this.
00:35:19.000 And Kerry Lake goes, no, the president deputized me to do it, and I'm going to do it, ma'am.
00:35:23.000 That's why I think they've called you Trump in heels for so long, Kerry.
00:35:27.000 Well, I've got the full power and authority given to me by the president to run this agency, and I'm here representing the president and the taxpayer, the American taxpayer, who nobody in this town seems to care about except when it comes to taking their money.
00:35:42.000 And so we're going to be responsible to the American taxpayer.
00:35:45.000 I could go on for hours.
00:35:46.000 We could do a special.
00:35:47.000 I mean, they brought in somebody.
00:35:48.000 They're abusing the J-1 visa system, which is how you bring in people who are au pairs and camp counselors and students to bring in these people to work at the agency rather than hiring American. 0.86
00:36:00.000 They're bringing in foreign nationals to tell America's story.
00:36:03.000 If you aren't from here, you don't understand our history, you don't speak our language, and you don't understand our culture, how the hell are you going to tell America's story abroad?
00:36:12.000 And so there's a million problems.
00:36:14.000 I remember meeting somebody who came in on one of these, abusing one of these visas to be the correspondent at the White House, one of the most secure places in the whole country and in the whole world, frankly.
00:36:27.000 And he was there to be the Spanish-speaking correspondent, and they brought him in on a J-1 visa.
00:36:32.000 He was Italian.
00:36:33.000 Are you trying to tell me we can't find Americans to work for this outlet who speaks Spanish?
00:36:38.000 We have to bring somebody in on a shady visa from Italy to work in the White House to be a Spanish-speaking correspondent.
00:36:45.000 None of it makes sense because it's very shady.
00:36:48.000 And we're going to work hard.
00:36:50.000 They're going to rue the day that they ran elections the way and robbed the people of Arizona from having me as their governor because we are going to do the people's work now in Washington, D.C.
00:37:01.000 And they're going to see what kind of work I do for the American taxpayer.
00:37:05.000 And I'm honored to be working for President Trump in this administration.
00:37:08.000 And we will not stop.
00:37:10.000 They will not stop us from doing our work.
00:37:13.000 Amazing.
00:37:14.000 Carrie Lake, where's your social media?
00:37:16.000 Where do people follow this story on a daily basis, ma'am?
00:37:19.000 You can follow me on X and you can follow me on Getter and you can follow me on Rumble and Facebook.
00:37:27.000 I'm on all of them.
00:37:28.000 It's just at Carrie Lake, K-A-R-I-L-A-K-E. 0.98
00:37:31.000 You know, I've taken a lot of hits.
00:37:33.000 I know you have as well.
00:37:34.000 And once you've been through the fire, it's a lot easier.
00:37:38.000 You know, once you kind of conquered your fear, that's when you really start living and working.
00:37:42.000 And that's what I'm doing here in Washington, D.C.
00:37:45.000 Wow.
00:37:46.000 You have no fear.
00:37:47.000 You're fearless.
00:37:48.000 The Joan of Arc of the MAGA movement, Carrie Lake.
00:37:51.000 Honored to have you on here, ma'am.
00:37:52.000 Thanks, Steve.
00:37:53.000 Thank you.
00:37:54.000 She has a spine of steel. 0.99
00:37:58.000 What she's done to this Voice of America and the whole global media asset is historic.
00:38:04.000 Historic.
00:38:05.000 Do we have a clip on Planned Parenthood?
00:38:08.000 Let's play the clip on Planned Parenthood and we'll bring in Terry.
00:38:11.000 Let's go and play it.
00:38:12.000 And now let's turn to some breaking news from Washington,
00:38:15.000 where we're just getting decisions in from the Supreme Court today.
00:38:18.000 We got a case now involving Planned Parenthood.
00:38:20.000 Lisa, tell us about this decision.
00:38:22.000 Ana, this decision is really about two things.
00:38:26.000 It's about the right of Planned Parenthood to serve people who are recipients in the Medicaid program.
00:38:32.000 But it's also more broadly, and Leah can talk about this as well, about the rights of private people, individuals to sue when states fall short of their obligations with respect to rights that are conferred by federal law.
00:38:47.000 Those are called 1983 actions.
00:38:49.000 And over the last couple of decades, and this court in particular, has really eroded the ability of people to bring cases in what are called private rights of action to enforce their federal civil rights.
00:39:00.000 Here, a Medicaid recipient wanted to enforce a federal law that says individuals can obtain Medicaid-related services from any qualified provider.
00:39:11.000 And when the state of South Carolina tried to exempt all Planned Parenthood from the Medicaid program, she and Planned Parenthood sued the state of South Carolina together.
00:39:20.000 Today, the court, by a 6-3 decision, saying she doesn't have the right to use a federal statute to bring her own lawsuit against the state of Carolina to try and enforce her rights under the Medicaid program.
00:39:34.000 They are finding that this is more analogous to a spending statute than it is one that confers.
00:39:41.000 Okay, let me take it. A little technical there. So, cut to the chase, Terry. Why are people jumping up and down about this in Planned Parenthood, sir?
00:39:50.000 Well, it's because this is the first time that the states are being allowed to defund Planned Parenthood.
00:39:57.000 It's a big victory, Steve. And we haven't seen this, and we wouldn't have this victory, obviously, without President Trump winning in 2016 and winning again.
00:40:05.120 And, you know, so what's happening here is they're freaking out because now Planned Parenthood's taxpayer mountain of funding, which is almost a billion dollars annually, is under a threat, not just from the feds and from the national government.
00:40:20.120 We see that Planned Parenthood is defunded in the big, beautiful bill. But now they're at threat of having their money defunded at the state level.
00:40:27.120 We're putting a lot of pressure on Planned Parenthood. And, Steve, we just have to be clear. They have nothing to do with Planned Parenthood.
00:40:34.120 They actually have everything to do with preventing Parenthood. What Planned Parenthood does is they confuse young children about sexuality.
00:40:41.120 They teach them really weird stuff. They even have an AI-generated chat robot, sex chat robot for children as young as 13 without any age verification.
00:40:51.120 But they do that, so they confuse kids about sex and pervert them. They sterilize people through these gender transition procedures that they're now giving. 0.84
00:41:00.120 They've expanded. They don't just do abortions. They don't just kill babies now. They also sterilize young children against their parents' wishes and even knowledge.
00:41:08.120 This is a bad organization. They kill babies, they sexualize children, and they sterilize people. They shouldn't get a dime of taxpayer funding ever. 0.75
00:41:19.120 So, by the way, the big, beautiful bill kills it at the federal level, or now the state's going to kill Planned Parenthood from taxpayers.
00:41:26.120 If they want to run private donations, that's their own deal. But do you think this will lead to all the states, at least all the red states, shutting it down?
00:41:33.120 Well, look, the one big, beautiful bill is incredible because it puts a 10-year defund on all Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood.
00:41:43.120 We'll see if this survives the parliamentarian, which the parliamentarian's been wreaking absolute havoc on a lot of key provisions here in this big, beautiful bill.
00:41:52.120 But we've got to fight back here. But if we defund this at the national level, there won't be a lot for the states to do on defunding Medicaid because it will already be illegal to fund them with tax dollars through Medicaid at the federal level.
00:42:06.120 But it's just a great opportunity, Steve. It's another big pro-life win that wouldn't have been possible without President Trump.
00:42:13.120 I have two other things to do. There's a big First Amendment case coming up about age verification.
00:42:20.120 Give me a minute on that before we go to break, and then I've got to ask you about all the victories in transgender, your big focus.
00:42:27.120 Hit me first on this age verification. Why is this even a controversy?
00:42:30.120 Well, Steve, just in the past four years, we've managed to reach, I think we're up to 23 states now,
00:42:39.120 that have passed some sort of age verification requirement for porn sites.
00:42:44.120 This is not controversial. It has 80, 85 percent support across the board, depending on which state you're pulling it in.
00:42:51.120 But what happened is Texas passed an amazing law just last year, and the porn industry formed this organization called the Free Speech Coalition.
00:43:01.120 And they sued Attorney General Ken Paxton, and they're basically saying that requiring porn sites to verify the age of users is unconstitutional.
00:43:10.120 It puts an undue burden on the porn consumers out there.
00:43:14.120 Steve, the nicotine guys, they do age verification. The alcohol guys do age verification.
00:43:20.120 The gambling guys do it. The weed guys do it. I mean, every adult-based industry online does age verification, except for porn sites.
00:43:28.120 I think we're going to win this battle. We'll know tomorrow that it's going to be announced.
00:43:32.120 Okay. Hang on for one second. I've got to talk to you about the transgender ideology next.
00:43:39.120 If you're a homeowner, you need to listen to this.
00:43:42.120 In today's AI and cyber world, scammers are stealing home titles with more ease than ever, and your equity is the target.
00:43:51.120 Here's how it works. Criminals forge your signature on one document, use a fake notary stamp, pay small fee with your county, and boom!
00:44:00.120 Your home title has been transferred out of your name.
00:44:03.120 Then they take out loans using your equity or even sell your property.
00:44:08.120 You won't even know it's happened until you get a collection or foreclosure notice.
00:44:14.120 So let me ask you, when was the last time you personally checked your home title?
00:44:21.120 If you're like me, the answer is never.
00:44:23.120 And that's exactly what scammers are counting on.

00:46:33.120 Terry Schilling.
00:46:34.120 I haven't had time.
00:46:35.120 This afternoon we're going to spend more.
00:46:36.120 But man, the parliamentarian.
00:46:38.120 Just explain to people for 30 seconds.
00:46:39.120 The parliamentarian came out last night and this morning and crushed us.
00:46:43.120 Right?
00:46:44.120 Over in the big, beautiful bill.
00:46:46.120 You took a shot below the waterline.
00:46:49.120 Tell us what the parliamentarian is.
00:46:51.120 What is she doing?
00:46:52.120 Why can she do this? 0.52
00:46:54.120 And what was the hitch you guys took today?
00:46:56.120 All right.
00:46:57.120 So basically, because this is a reconciliation bill,
00:47:00.120 you only need 50 plus one votes in order to pass.
00:47:03.120 This is a bill that's outside of the Senate filibuster rules.
00:47:06.120 You don't have to get 60 votes.
00:47:08.120 And the parliamentarian has to rule whether or not
00:47:11.120 that each one of these amendments and writers in the big, beautiful bill
00:47:15.120 passes what's known as the birdbath.
00:47:17.120 Now, the birdbath says that everything in this bill has to be germane to the funding mechanism.
00:47:25.120 So it can't be a policy decision.
00:47:27.120 It has to be just purely funding.
00:47:29.120 Well, what she ruled this morning, she struck down a lot of things.
00:47:32.120 In fact, she says that we can't even defund healthcare for funding,
00:47:37.120 taxpayer funding of healthcare for illegal immigrants, which is totally crazy. 0.53
00:47:40.120 But she struck down this morning provisions that would defund all gender transition 0.83
00:47:46.120 or sex change procedures through the federal government, through Medicaid.
00:47:50.120 It's a total disaster.
00:47:52.120 There's going to need to be something done about her and these provisions. 0.81
00:47:55.120 I don't know exactly what the answer is yet, Steve, to be totally frank.
00:47:59.120 We just found out about this this morning, but we're planning to take an action.
00:48:02.120 The original concept, I think it was Senator Byrd, the guy who was around forever.
00:48:07.120 And it kind of had a good thing.
00:48:08.120 If you're not going to break the filibuster, what they didn't want in this particular,
00:48:11.120 they didn't want to slide in major policy decisions that were in kind of a bill on a budget bill.
00:48:17.120 So the concept is not wacky.
00:48:19.120 Now, what's happened is that some of the things, some of the biggest things, like illegal aliens of Medicaid,
00:48:24.120 she's eviscerated so much in the bill today. 1.00
00:48:27.120 I think it's going to be a huge, I think it's a huge setback, I guess, unless guys get workarounds.
00:48:32.120 For you guys, you've had so many wins at the state level.
00:48:35.120 How is this going to put back destroying this transgender ideology on the taxpayer's dime, sir? 1.00
00:48:44.120 Well, see, we're now up to 27 states.
00:48:47.120 So over half of the country has now protected at least children from these gender procedures by either,
00:48:54.120 well, that's 27 states that have banned these procedures and prohibited it.
00:48:58.120 So we're winning there.
00:48:59.120 But we've got to defund this.
00:49:01.120 Steve, this stuff did not explode.
00:49:04.120 We didn't start reading about it until it was taxpayer funded, right?
00:49:08.120 Before the taxpayer dollars were opened up to it, both through mandates through health
00:49:13.120 and human services, through Obamacare, but also direct funding through Medicaid.
00:49:17.120 No one even knew what transgender was.
00:49:19.120 And this is back in 2008, 2009.
00:49:21.120 But Obama changed the rules.
00:49:23.120 So this would do a lot by defunding gender transitions nationally through Medicaid. 0.99
00:49:28.120 It would do so much to clean up this mess and protect children even in California, right?
00:49:34.120 We need to, this is not healthcare.
00:49:36.120 This is not helpful.
00:49:37.120 Every long-term like logistical and reliable study that's been out there shows us there's
00:49:43.120 no benefits, especially long-term benefits to gender transitions even for adults.
00:49:48.120 So we've got to put up as many hurdles as possible and making the financial burden,
00:49:53.120 taking that away from taxpayers and people that don't want their dollar.
00:49:56.120 By the way, Steve, this is an 80-20 issue.
00:49:59.120 Again, no one wants their tax dollars funding this stuff.
00:50:02.120 So we've got to defund it and protect everyone.
00:50:04.120 Okay.
00:50:05.120 Where do people go?
00:50:06.120 I know you're going to put more information up about this today.
00:50:08.120 Where do people go, Terry?
00:50:09.120 Social media and website.
00:50:11.120 Yeah.
00:50:12.120 So it's just Schilling 1776 across all social media platforms or AmericanPrinciplesProject.org.
00:50:19.120 Check us out.
00:50:20.120 We're going to be keeping everyone updated in real time.
00:50:22.120 And we'll also be keeping you guys updated on the Free Speech Coalition versus Paxton
00:50:25.120 for age verification at the Supreme Court tomorrow.
00:50:28.120 Probably get that tomorrow.
00:50:29.120 Remember, the last couple of days of June, you get all the results.
00:50:32.120 Thank you, Terry.
00:50:33.120 Appreciate you.
00:50:34.120 Keep fighting.
00:50:35.120 Thanks, Steve.
00:50:36.120 We try to get full information out to you folks.
00:50:39.120 That's why I think now we put this, it's more than a brochure.
00:50:43.120 It's kind of a handbook.
00:50:45.120 The ultimate guide.
00:50:46.120 Right now, I think, in thinking about the economy, fiat currency,
00:50:50.120 particularly these budget deficits, the size of the debt, the debt ceiling,
00:50:54.120 fight's going to be, quite frankly, very tough.
00:50:57.120 Understand the interconnection between fiat currency, something called the U.S. dollar,
00:51:03.120 and gold and why gold has been a hedge against it and why gold's kind of been on fire for the last couple of years.
00:51:08.120 The ultimate guide.
00:51:09.120 Go to, take out your phone, Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N.
00:51:12.120 That would be me.
00:51:13.120 9-8-9-8-9-8-9-8.
00:51:15.120 Tex, you will get the free guide from Birch Gold, the ultimate and free guide to investing in gold and precious metals in the age of Trump.
00:51:23.120 Talks about the 401ks, IRAs, all of it.
00:51:25.120 It's a good starter.
00:51:26.120 And then you get to Philip Patrick and the team.
00:51:28.120 Mike Lindell.
00:51:29.120 Charlie Kirk is going to pick up.

00:51:40.120 It's going to be wild.
00:51:41.120 The watchword here is that the war is over.
00:51:43.120 12-day war is over.
00:51:45.120 President Trump, mission accomplished on the total obliteration.
