Bannon's War Room - Episode 4594： Trump's first 90 Days Proved The Lies Of The Past 50 Years

00:00:00.000 With Justice Jackson and with the dissent in this case, which is that it is a big blow to our ability to enforce our rights,

00:00:08.660 because our rights, our constitutional rights, our other legal rights are, of course, only as good as our ability to enforce them.

00:00:16.900 And what this decision does is it throws up lots of additional roadblocks and obstacles to the remedy, right?

00:00:24.800 Because when your constitutional rights are violated, this is going to make it much harder for individuals other than those who go to court and are themselves plaintiffs to have their rights adjudicated and restored.

00:00:40.580 And so I do think this is a big blow.

00:00:42.480 And it's another example of this Supreme Court that's been largely stacked by Donald Trump appointees ceding their constitutional responsibilities and duties to the executive,

00:00:55.300 when under Article 3, they're the ones that should be standing up and making sure that we can enforce our rights.

00:01:02.380 We've had a big week.

00:01:03.900 You know, we've had a big week.

00:01:05.020 We've had a lot of victories this week.

00:01:06.800 NATO was a tremendous victory.

00:01:09.580 The war was a tremendous.

00:01:11.080 Look, we were talking about this for 30 years, about Iran being nuclear.

00:01:16.900 And all I said is it will not be nuclear and it's not going to be nuclear.

00:01:21.480 And, you know, I want to give credit to a lot of people, most importantly to our great military.

00:01:26.620 Boy, they put out that fire.

00:01:28.600 Once that happened, once those bombs got dropped, that war was over.

00:01:32.860 That war was over.

00:01:33.880 But I just want to compliment them.

00:01:35.440 Incredible.

00:01:35.920 The general and all of his generals.

00:01:39.020 Pete Hegseth was great.

00:01:41.080 And now I want to compliment Pam.

00:01:44.640 A lot of genius went into this.

00:01:46.260 You know, people, if you don't say it exactly right, if the Supreme Court doesn't get it because it's incorrectly spoken about.

00:01:53.980 And that happens.

00:01:54.920 A lot of cases are lost because they don't say the right words.

00:01:58.780 But I want to correct.

00:01:59.600 She's going to go down as a great attorney general. 1.00

00:02:01.560 I may change my mind about that.

00:02:04.100 I don't know.

00:02:04.600 Maybe someday I'll set the call and say, I was only kidding.

00:02:07.400 She's going to go down as a great attorney general. 1.00

00:02:09.500 This was a tremendous win.

00:02:10.640 And we've had tremendous wins.

00:02:11.960 But this was a tremendous win today.

00:02:13.720 So I just want to congratulate you and Todd and your whole staff.

00:02:18.120 Very brilliant people.

00:02:19.100 And we can't forget John Sauer.

00:02:20.660 That's right.

00:02:21.200 Who is with, there's a medical emergency within his family.

00:02:25.220 So he's taking care of that.

00:02:26.560 And we said absolutely.

00:02:28.020 So I just want to thank everybody very much.

00:02:29.900 Thank you.

00:02:30.260 It's totally understandable to not know the extent of the damage yet, given what we did.

00:02:36.780 But it's extraordinary, the misinformation, the conflict, and just the lack of information out there.

00:02:44.180 When you go into that room, which is the secret room that they have over in the visitor center,

00:02:49.660 when you go in that room, as best someone can tell,

00:02:54.360 and I'm not sure they really know what the truth is or what the extent of the damage that was done to this program is.

00:03:02.180 But, you know, for two weeks, he telegraphed, oh, we're going to get you.

00:03:06.160 We're going to bomb you.

00:03:07.040 That gave them plenty of time to move whatever they needed to move.

00:03:10.780 And I think there's some evidence that there was movement.

00:03:14.020 And so I don't think you know.

00:03:16.620 But to just cavalierly say this is what happened.

00:03:20.480 He doesn't know what happened.

00:03:22.080 This is all publicity.

00:03:23.180 And he's like a salesman who is selling things that don't actually exist.

00:03:27.900 And at some point, it's got to come home to roost.

00:03:30.660 And this is important enough an issue for the American public and for Congress in particular to be told the truth as best they know.

00:03:39.040 And I think the president keeps spreading misinformation.

00:03:43.680 That right now, the only AGs in this country that are fighting to protect the Constitution,

00:03:48.600 the rule of law, public health, and our residents is Democratic AGs.

00:03:52.880 Republican AGs are nowhere to be found.

00:03:55.100 And in the context of birthright citizenship, we see this as not only fighting for the rule of law,

00:03:59.880 but also for babies and unborn babies in families and children.

00:04:03.700 And as it stands, as we sit here on this Zoom with you, right now, the 14th Amendment and birthright citizenship still stand.

00:04:12.300 And we now have to go back to the district court at the direction of the Supreme Court to ask the judge to reissue the previous nationwide injunction that he issued before,

00:04:22.160 as did other district courts, not just the judge in Massachusetts, but other district courts that have sided with us because they understand the importance of having nationwide relief here.

00:04:34.920 Because if a baby, as you said at the beginning, is born in New Hampshire and then suddenly comes to Massachusetts and isn't a citizenship, a citizen, that makes no sense.

00:04:43.340 It's not practical. 0.97

00:04:44.360 And it's just ridiculous.

00:04:46.220 And so I would just stress that right now I actually see us as still winning.

00:04:50.340 We just have to go back to court at the lower level to be able to continue the fight.

00:04:54.060 And everyone should ask themselves in any state where they don't have a Democratic AG, what is their attorney general doing to protect their rights and to protect our Constitution?

00:05:02.960 But when you have a system that doesn't allow the most obvious violations of constitutional legal rights to be remedied on a nationwide basis when they're violated,

00:05:15.680 then you expose people for very long periods of time to being stripped of their Constitution or other legal rights.

00:05:22.280 And so that's why I think this was a blow to protecting our rights.

00:05:27.780 And we now have two branches of government.

00:05:30.240 We have the Article III courts in the form of the Supreme Court anyway.

00:05:34.380 And now the Congress, where you have majority Republicans who are ceding their power also to a president who wants to be king.

00:05:43.400 I mean, just today, Republicans all but one voted against the War Powers Resolution.

00:05:48.280 The War Powers Resolution was a very simple idea founded in the Constitution that says you can't go to war without congressional authorization.

00:05:59.500 And yet all but one Republican senator abdicated their responsibility and essentially said, we're going to give that power to Donald Trump alone.

00:06:09.800 So this is a very dangerous moment for our democracy and protection of our rights.

00:06:16.140 You know, it's funny.

00:06:17.240 I've heard over the years calls to abolish ICE, but I also wonder if we should just abolish Congress.

00:06:23.180 If your colleagues are not going to do their jobs.

00:06:26.880 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.

00:06:34.980 Pray for our enemies.

00:06:36.920 Because we're going medieval on these people.

00:06:40.160 Here's the reason I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.

00:06:44.440 The people have had a belly full of it.

00:06:46.360 I know you don't like hearing that.

00:06:47.800 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.

00:06:50.480 It's going to happen.

00:06:51.740 And where do people like that go to share the big line?

00:06:55.160 Mega Media.

00:06:56.060 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

00:07:01.960 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

00:07:05.680 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

00:07:12.100 War Room.

00:07:12.920 Here's your host, Stephen K. Vance.

00:07:21.080 It's Saturday, 28 June, Year of Our Lord 2025.

00:07:23.760 Thank you for joining us this morning on our favorite show of the week, the Saturday morning show.

00:07:29.180 It is the kickoff in a little while.

00:07:30.900 The big, beautiful bill.

00:07:33.540 Was it Votorama?

00:07:35.260 All of it from the Senate.

00:07:36.780 Of course, we're going to dial in guys in the House, too, that are already saying there's some massive changes going on.

00:07:42.220 This is a work in progress, and we will be up streaming it on where there's debate, et cetera, streaming it on all of our platforms, even after the show all weekend and where it needs to be.

00:07:55.600 We'll actually come in and jump back in.

00:07:57.380 And, of course, Rav will be covering it also throughout the weekend.

00:08:00.240 This is going to be monumental.

00:08:03.220 Don't see how they're going to get to the president's desk on July 4th.

00:08:06.000 But he changed yesterday.

00:08:07.740 I think it was in the Oval or the briefing where he says, well, the 4th is nice if we can do it.

00:08:12.960 And then he reversed that later, I think, on True Social and said it's got to be done by the 4th.

00:08:16.400 So anyway, so much is going on there.

00:08:19.460 You saw the meltdown.

00:08:20.540 We could have played this.

00:08:21.240 I hope your heads are blowing up.

00:08:23.220 I'm not even sure we put the nastiest stuff up there because it was full meltdown last night by the mainstream media, the fake news of Donald Trump.

00:08:32.420 So the Supreme Court basically backing President Trump on stopping this or trying to stop this judicial insurrection.

00:08:40.080 And it's only going to get nastier.

00:08:41.840 I tell folks that, you know, now we've got to get ready to grind this through because it's going to be a grind.

00:08:47.180 And you're going to see both the legislative part making the sausage this weekend.

00:08:50.820 And I want to give everybody a heads up.

00:08:52.520 It's not going to be pretty.

00:08:53.820 And you are not going to agree with everything.

00:08:56.320 You're going to agree with a lot.

00:08:57.560 There's some you're not going to agree with.

00:08:59.180 People are going to get angry.

00:09:00.800 It's called a process.

00:09:02.920 And we're going to show it to you hopefully in living color through streaming and commentary, et cetera.

00:09:09.200 So I think it's going to start sometime this afternoon.

00:09:11.560 And we're going to on the show today.

00:09:13.840 Anyway, we've got a show of a bunch of issues you want to cover and some just great stuff from around the world and here in the United States.

00:09:22.040 However, we will be taking if we can get it and work it out because it's going to be tough to get people on Zoom today taking calls from hopefully some senators and some people in the House as people work through Capitol Hill.

00:09:33.940 Okay.

00:09:34.140 I got a very special.

00:09:35.180 We're going to kick this show off in a very special way.

00:09:38.040 We're talking about the big, beautiful bill in the Senate and everything that you guys have been fighting for in the Senate.

00:09:43.180 We've got a very special ad.

00:09:46.080 Let's go ahead and play this.

00:09:47.040 I want to bring in the the person of honor today to kick off the war room.

00:09:52.360 Let's go and let it rip. 0.93

00:09:56.460 It's garbage day in Kentucky. 0.97

00:09:58.720 And thanks to Mitch McConnell, things have gotten dirty. 0.89

00:10:03.040 The bluegrass state is sick and tired of cleaning up career politicians' messes.

00:10:08.040 I'm Nate Morris, a Trump America first conservative, and I'm here to take out the trash.

00:10:13.400 I'm a ninth generation Kentuckian born to a single mom on food stamps, raised in a union household.

00:10:20.060 I'm the product of bluegrass grit.

00:10:22.560 I borrowed 10 grand to start a business, created thousands of jobs, and took it public, valued at $2 billion as one of the biggest trash companies in America. 0.97

00:10:32.440 So I know a little bit about garbage. 0.99

00:10:35.240 And Mitch McConnell, he's trash Trump. 1.00

00:10:37.600 And for over 40 years, he's been dumping on us. 0.98

00:10:43.740 Amnesty for millions of illegals.

00:10:46.400 Rhino judges in courtrooms across America joining Democrats on gun control.

00:10:51.400 Billions spent on Ukraine and other foreign wars.

00:10:54.320 And trillions more on Biden's massive spending bill.

00:10:57.260 All while becoming one of the richest senators in Washington.

00:11:00.120 And now he's calling it quits and thinks he can stick us with one of his puppets instead.

00:11:05.580 My mentor, Leader Mitch McConnell, I'm with him because his legacy is big.

00:11:11.740 Senator Mitch McConnell.

00:11:13.080 And it's been a great privilege and honor to know him.

00:11:15.360 And I'm proud to call him a friend.

00:11:16.980 I'm proud to call him a mentor.

00:11:18.580 They'll betray President Trump and sell us out.

00:11:21.260 Not on my watch. 0.71

00:11:24.100 We've let the garbage pile up in Washington, D.C. for far too long.

00:11:28.300 I'm running for Senate to help President Trump clean up the mess.

00:11:32.100 I'm not a politician.

00:11:33.640 And I've never run for office.

00:11:35.880 And I will never stop fighting for the place that made me the man I am today.

00:11:39.780 I'm Nate Morris. 0.91

00:11:40.720 Let's dump career politicians and take out the trash in Washington. 1.00

00:11:44.660 I love that spot so much.

00:11:52.900 The great Andy Sarabian and team.

00:11:55.900 I just love that spot.

00:11:57.260 I've seen him now probably a hundred times.

00:11:59.180 Nate Morris joins us.

00:12:00.560 Nate, I wanted to kick off big, beautiful bill weekend.

00:12:04.240 You know, we're talking about maybe doing this Monday.

00:12:05.840 I said, no, we got to do this on Saturday because we're going to be doing nonstop coverage on streaming platforms of everything people are about to see.

00:12:12.640 First off, we're going to call you through the break for the next.

00:12:17.440 I want to get into all your background and history and that.

00:12:19.840 But that is as bad as in-your-face introduction, you know, kickoff to our campaign.

00:12:28.860 Tell me about Mitch McConnell.

00:12:30.380 How has Mitch McConnell kept such a grip on Kentucky politics for so long?

00:12:35.040 Because I don't think you have a better state full of patriots than the great state of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, sir.

00:12:42.640 Well, Steve, you're exactly right.

00:12:44.880 The fact that Mitch McConnell has been able to hold power for generations is absolutely absurd.

00:12:51.160 And, Steve, you know this from your work.

00:12:54.000 Mitch McConnell's been obsessed with two things his entire career.

00:12:56.820 That's money and power. 0.98

00:12:58.400 And he's forgotten the people of Kentucky.

00:13:01.060 You know, one of the things when I was looking at this seat, Steve, and thinking about when my wife and I were thinking if we were going to jump in the race,

00:13:07.960 is people would say this is Mitch McConnell's seat.

00:13:12.420 This is his seat. 0.71

00:13:13.620 And I thought that was absolutely ludicrous.

00:13:16.000 This is a seat that belongs to the people.

00:13:18.500 And Mitch McConnell has continued to sell out Trump.

00:13:21.920 He's continued to sabotage Trump's agenda.

00:13:24.740 And we know he's been on every side of every issue.

00:13:27.860 And it's all been about him maintaining power for a very, very long time.

00:13:32.460 I mean, if you remember, the one issue that he was most animated about was getting more money into politics.

00:13:38.740 That's all he cared about his entire career.

00:13:41.380 And I think people in Kentucky have had enough.

00:13:43.880 They want a clean break.

00:13:45.400 They want an outsider. 0.99

00:13:46.900 And they want someone that's going to be completely different than Mitch

00:13:50.680 and someone who's going to usher in a true MAGA perspective and MAGA leadership in the Bluegrass State.

00:13:56.120 Nate, hang on with us.

00:14:00.380 We're going to hold you through the break.

00:14:01.380 I want to drill down on this because, as you know, from the huge fight we had over Ukraine,

00:14:06.180 what is it, a year, year and a half ago, that really he stepped down from leader right after that.

00:14:10.440 We've been battling with Mitch McConnell for a long time.

00:14:13.320 And you, sir, are the cavalry has finally arrived.

00:14:17.500 And it's arrived on the big, beautiful bill weekend.

00:14:21.860 Nothing could be more ironic.

00:14:23.640 Nate Morris is going to stick around.

00:14:24.800 He's announced he's running in the Republican primary for the Senate seat of Mitch McConnell,

00:14:31.080 of which Mitch McConnell does believe it's his seat, and he can deem whoever he wants.

00:14:35.520 So Nate's going to hang around us.

00:14:36.620 And we've got a lot going on, a packed show this morning.

00:14:40.060 Like I said, we're going to do everything to make sure people see everything about how the big, beautiful bill comes together this weekend.

00:14:47.680 Short break.

00:14:49.180 Nate Morris on the other side.

00:14:50.440 There's a lot of talk about government debt, but after four years of inflation, the real crisis is personal debt.

00:15:06.660 Seriously, you're working harder than ever, and you're still drowning in credit card debt and overdue bills.

00:15:12.460 You need done with debt, and here's why you need it.

00:15:16.780 The credit system is rigged to keep you trapped.

00:15:20.440 Done with debt has unique and, frankly, brilliant escape strategies to help end your debt fast, so you keep more of your hard-earned money.

00:15:30.020 Done with debt doesn't try to sell you a loan, and they don't try to sell you a bankruptcy.

00:15:34.600 They're tough negotiators that go one-on-one with your credit card and loan companies with one goal to drastically reduce your bills and eliminate interest and erase penalties.

00:15:46.200 Most clients end up with more money in their pocket month one, and they don't stop until they break you free from debt permanently.

00:15:56.460 Look, take a couple of minutes and visit donewithdebt.com.

00:16:00.420 Talk with one of their strategists.

00:16:02.040 It's free.

00:16:03.040 But listen up.

00:16:03.860 Some of their solutions are time-sensitive, so you'll need to move quickly.

00:16:09.020 Go to donewithdebt.com.

00:16:10.620 That's donewithdebt.com.

00:16:12.260 Stop the anxiety.

00:16:13.880 Stop the angst.

00:16:15.080 Go to donewithdebt.com and do it today.

00:16:18.720 Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann.

00:16:23.260 You see, I knew we were going to start this weekend.

00:16:27.300 It's going to be very tough.

00:16:28.420 It's going to be a big fight and some stuff you're not going to like, some stuff you're going to absolutely love.

00:16:34.320 We're going to watch the sashes be made. 0.99

00:16:36.360 But right there, not just in the chats, but the engine room, the various engine rooms we have are blowing my phone up already with the ad.

00:16:45.280 War Room Cadre, force multipliers activated, ready to take out the trash me, just on and on, most powerful ad.

00:16:51.540 So I've got to ask you, and this is what I like about the cut of your jib, Nate.

00:16:54.740 Most opening ads to introduce somebody has got the beautiful music and the wife, and it's all American flags flying and all this kind of stuff.

00:17:06.120 And yours is very different.

00:17:08.760 You're just taking a total shot, even some of the symbolism in there, you're taking a total shot right at Mitch McConnell, and you're not holding back.

00:17:18.080 Like, is that how this campaign is?

00:17:20.400 Because, you know, McConnell's been around for a long time because they play very dirty up there, right?

00:17:25.680 This is not for the uninitiated.

00:17:29.400 So tell me, first of all, about even the ad starting off like this, so aggressive, up in Mitch McConnell's grill,

00:17:35.280 and kind of sending a notice to his acolytes that, hey, you want to bring it, you bring it.

00:17:40.460 So walk me through the logic, because you've got a great team, I know a lot of these guys, but walk me through your logic for this.

00:17:47.620 Look, see, there's only one way to handle Mitch McConnell, and that's absolute brute force.

00:17:53.060 Mitch McConnell's been the nastiest politician that America has seen in the modern era.

00:17:58.380 I mean, he would relish the fact that he would destroy his enemies.

00:18:01.680 He brags about this stuff in Washington, D.C., and let me tell you, he's met his match, 0.81

00:18:06.100 because we are going to run over him over and over again with that garbage truck

00:18:10.540 and take out the trash, finally, of his record and his legacy. 0.99

00:18:15.080 And his cronies, his minions, they are going crazy.

00:18:18.840 They don't know what to say, Steve, because you know what?

00:18:20.600 No one has had the spine and the courage to actually take it to them

00:18:24.620 and litigate their record properly here in Kentucky.

00:18:28.460 But we're going to do it.

00:18:30.040 And, Steve, I know you're probably a fan of the Sopranos. 0.69

00:18:33.200 You know, I come out of the garbage business. 0.97

00:18:34.940 This is the roughest, nastiest business you can be in. 0.97

00:18:38.620 And I'm going to relish this fight.

00:18:40.320 I love it.

00:18:40.940 I'm so excited, because it's finally time that we get somebody who's America first, 0.91

00:18:45.740 who's going to stand with Trump, and who's going to finally take out the trash of Mitch McConnell

00:18:50.080 and all the remnants that are left over that are hanging around the hoop,

00:18:54.160 trying to make a dollar off the government or trying to enrich themselves.

00:18:57.780 We're going to take it to them like they've never seen in the history of Kentucky politics

00:19:02.180 and in the history of American politics.

00:19:03.860 Man, that's such a breath of fresh air.

00:19:08.120 Tell the audience about yourself.

00:19:09.600 Let's go back to the beginning, because I'm going to ask you, I'm going to get to the point.

00:19:12.920 It's like, why in the hell are you doing this, right?

00:19:15.120 Go back to the beginning.

00:19:16.360 Tell us about your background and how you got to this point,

00:19:19.460 or how you got to the point of making the decision to basically take a huge change in your life

00:19:24.020 and get into politics for your state and for your country.

00:19:27.560 But go ahead and walk me through it.

00:19:28.860 Well, Steve, first off, I don't need this job.

00:19:34.120 And I know you've been around politics a very long time.

00:19:36.780 Most of these guys that get into politics, they need the job.

00:19:39.860 They need the money.

00:19:41.380 And you look at these two puppets that are in the race for Mitch McConnell, Andy Barr and Daniel Cameron.

00:19:46.800 They need this job.

00:19:48.600 And I don't know what they would be doing if they weren't running for office,

00:19:51.980 because they probably can't get a job in the private sector.

00:19:54.340 They can't make money.

00:19:55.200 So this is what they do.

00:19:57.820 I've been very fortunate to live the American dream.

00:20:01.580 I'm proud that I'm a ninth generation Kentuckian.

00:20:04.440 My family descends from Appalachia and Morgan County,

00:20:07.620 which is the county right next to where J.D. Vance's family's from.

00:20:12.100 And I'm very proud of those fighting roots that we have in Appalachia.

00:20:16.940 Our people fight, Steve.

00:20:18.380 We've been fighting since we came over the Cumberland Gap.

00:20:21.200 We've been fighting to keep the government off our back.

00:20:24.260 We've been fighting for a better life for generations.

00:20:27.700 And that's one thing Kentuckians know how to do.

00:20:29.980 We know how to fight better than anybody.

00:20:32.120 And I grew up pretty tough, single mother.

00:20:35.080 My mom was on food stamps.

00:20:37.320 My dad left when I was very, very young.

00:20:40.440 And, you know, I had the great fortune of being able to get help from my grandparents.

00:20:45.180 My granddad ran a local union, the United Auto Workers.

00:20:48.840 And 19 of my family members worked in an auto plant.

00:20:51.560 So when things like NAFTA happened and people started outsourcing jobs in the middle of the country,

00:20:57.060 it was people like my family that felt it, that saw their jobs go to Mexico and saw their jobs go to China.

00:21:02.840 And these are the things from a very young age that have animated me about the American working class,

00:21:08.000 because we know for far too long, Steve, the elites have sold us out.

00:21:11.900 And I still remember as a very young man watching Pat Buchanan in his famous culture war speech in 1992.

00:21:19.900 And it resonated with me.

00:21:21.600 I was only 11 years old.

00:21:22.740 But I remember hearing that and saying, he's talking to me.

00:21:26.100 He is talking to my family.

00:21:27.680 And he's talking to people that are struggling like the people around me.

00:21:32.080 And guess what?

00:21:32.660 A lot of those things that Pat Buchanan talked about, we see them still today that we're fighting with here in America,

00:21:38.160 that we don't have a border.

00:21:40.640 We've had career politicians like Mitch McConnell sell us out over and over again and let all these illegals in 1.00

00:21:47.660 and let all these people that hate our country into our country, which is absolutely crazy.

00:21:54.700 And so, look, I saw this as an opportunity, Steve.

00:21:57.940 I got a call from my buddy, J.D. Vance.

00:22:00.260 I've known J.D. for a long time.

00:22:02.580 And he said, you know, you should really think about stepping up and maybe running for Mitch McConnell's open Senate seat when it comes open.

00:22:10.960 And I said, you know, that's really interesting.

00:22:13.260 I hadn't really thought about that.

00:22:14.520 I had been very successful as an entrepreneur.

00:22:17.540 I started a company with $10,000 on a credit card, grew that business to about $2 billion when I took it public in the New York Stock Exchange.

00:22:26.020 And I did it in the garbage business. 0.96

00:22:28.500 And, Steve, very few people know this, but the biggest garbage man in the world is Bill Gates. 0.99

00:22:33.680 Bill Gates is the largest holder of garbage stocks in the world. 0.95

00:22:37.700 And when you're working to disrupt the garbage industry, you're working to disrupt Bill Gates.

00:22:43.340 And that was quite a challenge as a young entrepreneur.

00:22:47.480 I was in my late 20s when I started the business.

00:22:49.580 I had no money.

00:22:50.320 I had debt.

00:22:52.020 But we were very, very successful and took some of the biggest contracts in the world away from brands like Waste Management and Republic Services.

00:23:00.700 And I'm very, very proud of that and helped employ small businesses around the country to get into the garbage game.

00:23:07.080 And these kind of lessons, I think J.D. saw and said, hey, you know, you're not a career politician.

00:23:12.680 You're an entrepreneur.

00:23:13.840 You don't need the job.

00:23:15.020 And you're 100 percent with Trump.

00:23:18.560 This is we need your leadership to come into government and to shake things up and to bring that same kind of entrepreneurial spirit that can hold these rhinos, can hold the swamp accountable, and finally bring real change in Washington.

00:23:32.480 And speak for America first and, most importantly, speak for the American working class because I've lived it.

00:23:42.580 You know, this is absolutely – when you look at a – like the Commonwealth of Kentucky, you look at the great people coming up there and the patriots.

00:23:50.480 You said born fighting and, you know, the folks that serve in the military.

00:23:53.520 And you look at Mitch McConnell and what he's pushed, it's like two things.

00:23:58.780 Is the Kentucky political establishment prepared to accept you, or are you just going to say, heck with it, I'm just going to have to kick down the door?

00:24:07.340 Because that's built in the image and likeness of Mitch McConnell, sir.

00:24:13.400 Well, Steve, it's very interesting you say that.

00:24:15.860 So that ad ran early yesterday morning.

00:24:19.800 It started out on Breitbart.com.

00:24:21.980 That's – Breitbart was very kind to make that their lead story yesterday.

00:24:27.680 And yesterday afternoon, I get a call from the Republican Party of Kentucky, and they said,

00:24:32.940 we're going to be sending you a letter about the upcoming Lincoln Day dinner, statewide Lincoln Day dinner, that's going to be held in a few weeks.

00:24:40.700 And we want you to read that letter and understand what the chairman's trying to communicate.

00:24:45.480 Now, they sent me this letter because, obviously, they're going to invite me because I'm a candidate for statewide office, is running for the United States Senate.

00:24:54.400 So I get this letter, Steve, and it says, do not speak ill of anyone who's not in the race who's a member of the Kentucky Republican Party.

00:25:02.820 Now, Steve, you know what that means.

00:25:05.120 They're saying you cannot talk bad about Mitch McConnell if you come to this event.

00:25:11.560 And I said, you know what?

00:25:12.840 I said, look, the whole reason why I would even go to this dinner is to make this about Mitch McConnell because, guess what, Steve?

00:25:21.100 This whole race is about Mitch McConnell, and these two puppets that are in the race are saying, well, you know, McConnell's not on the ballot.

00:25:27.800 Absolutely, he's on the ballot because if one of his puppets gets in this seat, we're going to get 40 more years of Mitch.

00:25:36.180 And I could not believe that, number one, Steve, you don't – why would you paper something like that and admit your weakness and send that to me?

00:25:45.040 And second of all, why do you continue to not allow people to tell the truth?

00:25:52.020 You know, in business, Steve, I know you've been so successful in business and you've done so many things entrepreneurially.

00:25:57.120 In business, you know, the bucks speak and the facts speak.

00:26:01.280 But in politics, you're not allowed supposedly to say what you want to say.

00:26:05.780 And, look, the reason why I'm in this race is because I want to tell the truth finally about Mitch.

00:26:10.560 I want to tell the truth about his record.

00:26:12.460 I want to take it to the people and show this is why we've been sold out by somebody like Mitch McConnell.

00:26:18.840 And his cronies are continuing to cover for this guy and to prop him up.

00:26:24.320 And then I find out later, Steve, I make a couple phone calls, and our state party is going to give him a Lifetime Achievement Award.

00:26:31.520 A Lifetime Achievement Award, Steve, can you believe that?

00:26:34.400 After everything he's done to our president.

00:26:38.360 You know, Steve, I know you've seen the numbers.

00:26:40.720 Trump carried this state by almost 30 points.

00:26:44.380 30 points.

00:26:45.600 And they want to give Mitch McConnell an award? 0.86

00:26:48.320 I mean, that's just absolutely ludicrous. 0.91

00:26:50.580 And you know what?

00:26:51.320 Steve, we're going to have a lot of fun with it.

00:26:53.020 We're going to have a lot of fun with it because we're going to tell the truth.

00:26:55.220 Yeah.

00:26:55.820 And I think these guys are going to melt down.

00:26:58.160 And it's going to be so much fun to watch.

00:27:00.860 Oh, they're already melting down.

00:27:02.640 And, Nate, can I just hold you briefly through the break because it's a short commercial break.

00:27:07.080 I want to talk about – I want to go back in time to the – when Mitch McConnell finally tossed in his leader and what led up to that and what the facts were of that.

00:27:15.100 Because two things are going on at the same time.

00:27:16.800 I think it's very important to tie together to let people – particularly people throughout the world.

00:27:21.180 The Saturday show has got a big global audience also, and I want to make sure everybody fully understands exactly the courage of Nate Morris to go in and do this because this is hard work.

00:27:32.460 Short commercial break.

00:27:33.360 I want to thank Birch Gold.

00:27:35.120 You saw the story yesterday in the Financial Times of London that the United States government is going to have a tough time selling long-term bonds, the 20s and 30s, because of some questions about are we taking on too much debt?

00:27:47.020 We're going to work that through this weekend and all next week.

00:27:49.700 Go to BirchGold.com.

00:27:52.540 We started this four years ago.

00:27:53.880 Why was that?

00:27:55.120 Because we wanted to make sure that you understood how currency, fiat currency, is directly tied to gold as a hedge.

00:28:11.300 Short break.

00:28:11.960 Nate Morris on the other side.

00:28:17.840 There's something happening with our farmland here in the United States.

00:28:21.180 That isn't getting enough attention.

00:28:22.860 The Chinese have been buying up hundreds of thousands of acres of U.S. farmland. 0.99

00:28:28.380 They're also taking control over critical supply chains, things like fertilizer, animal feed, and farming equipment.

00:28:35.480 Why?

00:28:36.280 It's not clear.

00:28:37.840 They're tightening their grip on global food production.

00:28:41.500 That is clear.

00:28:42.520 And if things go south, and it could happen quickly, we need to be ready.

00:28:48.960 That's why I trust MyPatriotSupply.

00:29:57.900 Do not let this thing get ahead of you.

00:30:00.740 Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann.

00:30:05.620 You remember during this very hectic week, early in the week, we had Senator Eric Schmidt on from the great state of Missouri,

00:30:12.600 one of the best guys in the Senate, one of the best guys we got there.

00:30:17.440 And we were reminiscing about we had played his entire speech on Ukraine.

00:30:22.320 If you remember when we were streaming all those speeches, we did it like we were going to do this weekend on the Ukraine fight and the Langford bill.

00:30:28.920 Remember that?

00:30:30.180 That was the beginning of the end.

00:30:31.700 That actually was the end of Mitch as speaker.

00:30:34.600 And I just want people – because I talk about this a lot, but I want to put it in the context of this race, of Nate Morris,

00:30:40.020 is that the Langford – Langford was just the front man, right?

00:30:43.800 He was supposed to be the conservative Christian, going to be the front man for Mitch McConnell's bill that,

00:30:48.980 in hindsight, if you look at it, would have totally codified the destruction of the sovereignty of this nation,

00:30:55.680 full stop, by Republicans at the hands of Republicans.

00:30:59.360 President Trump, remember, stepped in.

00:31:00.760 There's then just the 45th president of the United States and a candidate and helped stop it,

00:31:06.800 and the media went nuts.

00:31:08.420 The first 90 days of President Trump's second term proved every lie that they tried to sell us on that Langford bill.

00:31:16.020 And clearly, remember, you're going to have 2 million more illegals here before anything kicked in.

00:31:19.880 All of it was a lie.

00:31:21.440 All of it was a lie.

00:31:23.640 And at the same time, he was killing our sovereignty here and opening up the borders.

00:31:28.980 He was this huge, massive bill for Ukraine, of which Schmidt and Hawley and Mike Lee

00:31:34.020 and all the great America First patriots got there and just eviscerated it.

00:31:39.100 That's what Nate Morris represents, is a complete sea change from that.

00:31:42.820 The globalist attitude that has snuck into the Republican Party, taken over the Republican Party decades ago,

00:31:51.260 and it's the reason the country's in the shape it's in,

00:31:53.080 because these types of Republicans were controlled opposition.

00:31:56.980 Mitch was actually worse.

00:31:58.840 He was one of the drivers of it, and it's one of the reasons since I first came to politics with Andrew Breitbart

00:32:04.100 back in 2009, 2010, the first thing we were doing, we were fighting Mitch McConnell the entire time.

00:32:12.740 Nate, are you ready?

00:32:14.580 I mean, are you ready for a full throwdown?

00:32:17.200 Because I would tell you, starting your campaign with not doing a Hallmark card,

00:32:24.220 but starting your campaign with a shot right across his bow, that means it's going to be a war.

00:32:30.360 Are you ready for that, sir?

00:32:33.560 Absolutely, Steve.

00:32:34.520 Look, I grew up in union politics.

00:32:36.040 That's an organized street fight, knife fight in a ditch.

00:32:40.420 That's the way I grew up.

00:32:42.120 And we're going to do whatever it takes to bring transparency and to showcase the change that needs to happen.

00:32:50.700 And we are going to litigate Mitch McConnell's record and legacy like never before, because enough is enough.

00:32:56.240 And you know what?

00:32:56.700 No one's had the courage, Steve, to do it.

00:32:58.460 And what really makes me sick, Steve, is you've got two of these puppets right now in the race.

00:33:04.260 You've got Andy Barr. 1.00

00:33:05.880 And Steve, this guy's just a sad, pathetic, balding rhino. 0.99

00:33:10.280 You know, people have told me he's trying to use Rogaine. 1.00

00:33:12.400 I think that's going to his brain.

00:33:14.460 He absolutely had a meltdown yesterday during this press conference in Washington, D.C.

00:33:20.300 He doesn't know what to do.

00:33:21.820 This is a career politician.

00:33:23.780 Andy's never had a job, a real job. 0.95

00:33:25.820 He's been sucking at the government teat for years, and he thinks it's his time. 0.92

00:33:31.680 He's a typical establishment rhino that thinks, hey, I've been in Congress for over a decade. 0.99

00:33:36.400 You owe it to me.

00:33:38.160 And this guy's a lawyer, too.

00:33:39.940 Both these guys are lawyers.

00:33:41.080 Steve, we don't need more lawyers in Washington, D.C.

00:33:43.760 I tell people all the time we're full.

00:33:45.980 We have plenty.

00:33:47.200 And they've screwed everything up for this country by continuing to create more problems.

00:33:51.640 And you know what's really sad about Andy, Steve?

00:33:55.080 And you saw this in the clip.

00:33:56.800 At 50-plus years old, Steve, Andy Barr said Mitch McConnell was his mentor.

00:34:02.760 Now, first of all, I don't know what grown man at 50 years old has a mentor.

00:34:07.580 At that point in life, you're mentoring others.

00:34:10.080 You're helping other people.

00:34:11.480 This guy gets on live TV 10 months ago and says Mitch McConnell's his mentor.

00:34:16.360 And that tells you everything you need to know about how he would be as a senator.

00:34:21.800 I mean, he's lauding Mitch McConnell 10 months ago.

00:34:25.000 This is a guy who's continued to support red flag laws.

00:34:28.400 This is a guy who was against ending birthright citizenship.

00:34:32.040 This is a guy that stood up for the Gang of Eight a decade ago.

00:34:37.060 This is the same guy that was blaming President Trump for January 6th.

00:34:41.040 And this guy wants to come into Washington right now and claim he's MAGA.

00:34:44.100 It's just absolutely unbelievable.

00:34:46.360 He is nothing more than one of Mitch's boys that continue to do his dirty work.

00:34:52.880 And, again, I think that the people of Kentucky, this is exactly what they don't want.

00:34:57.780 I think the other guy, Steve, that's in the race, Daniel Cameron,

00:35:01.580 this is a guy who's not even from Kentucky.

00:35:03.840 You know, no one knew anything about this guy, where he came from, who he was.

00:35:08.660 You know, he was just pushed on us a couple years ago by Mitch and his cronies.

00:35:13.640 You know, Mitch McConnell plucks him.

00:35:15.360 You know, this is a guy from Texas, was rotting the pine at the University of Louisville playing football,

00:35:22.060 couldn't get on the field, you know, certainly not a very good athlete.

00:35:25.920 And Mitch McConnell says, I'm going to give this kid a scholarship.

00:35:28.780 I'm going to make him a McConnell scholar.

00:35:30.680 This is the program they have at the University of Louisville.

00:35:33.400 Makes him an intern.

00:35:34.280 And the first thing that this guy does is he supports comprehensive immigration reform and working for Mitch

00:35:41.020 and helps Mitch push that into Congress, which is absolutely crazy.

00:35:45.880 Then this guy becomes Mitch's general counsel.

00:35:48.500 And you know, Steve, that when you're general counsel, you sign off on everything that Mitch does.

00:35:53.600 And then Mitch says, look, it's time for this guy to become attorney general.

00:35:59.720 So they clear the path for him to become attorney general.

00:36:02.840 Terry Carmack, Mitch McConnell's chief of staff, runs his campaign for attorney general.

00:36:08.520 And then they say, we're going to try to make him governor.

00:36:11.640 And Terry Carmack runs his campaign for governor and gets absolutely demolished.

00:36:17.300 Loses by six points in Kentucky with a Trump endorsement.

00:36:21.740 How do you do that?

00:36:22.960 How does that even happen?

00:36:24.700 And this is a guy, he's just, again, another one of Mitch's boys that continue to push his agenda.

00:36:32.320 You know, he would probably sign a leaf if it blowed onto his desk, if it was from Mitch.

00:36:37.360 You know, he has no idea what's going on.

00:36:39.880 Not a very smart person, I don't think.

00:36:41.820 And, you know, he's just been manipulated by Mitch and his cronies to do his dirty work.

00:36:47.300 And this is what we have right now in this race. 0.92

00:36:50.680 This is what we have.

00:36:51.800 And so I want to say that this has to be a clean break.

00:36:56.220 We need an outsider. 0.98

00:36:57.480 We need someone who's not a career politician.

00:36:59.660 And we need someone that's actually met a payroll and created jobs, I believe.

00:37:04.660 And someone who understands the working class of our country.

00:37:10.720 Wow.

00:37:11.540 I've already informed Grace and Mo that we want the TV rights to the Lincoln.

00:37:15.420 And we're going to get the TV rights to the Lincoln Day dinner.

00:37:19.540 Because, wow, brother, literally we could do this for all two hours.

00:37:25.820 What I'm going to do is I'm going to play the ad in the second hour and get the conversation going back again on this.

00:37:30.240 Nate, I know you're going to do Matt Balls, the great Matt Ball over at Breitbart.

00:37:34.740 You're going to do his radio show, the Breitbart News Saturday show, of which I'm the former host on.

00:37:41.520 Matt's got it today.

00:37:43.060 Where do people go to find out more about you?

00:37:45.060 Where do they go to social media?

00:37:46.180 Where do they go to your campaign site?

00:37:47.500 Because I can already tell you the chat's blowing up.

00:37:50.180 The phone's blowing up.

00:37:51.100 So folks are going to want to know more about this, sir.

00:37:56.380 Well, Steve, my website is natemorris.com.

00:37:59.980 And I want to say to everyone, you know, I'm going to be making an investment in this race.

00:38:05.120 As an outsider, I have to do that to fight the swamp and to fight all the lobbyists and the people that are coming at me.

00:38:11.080 But I need your help.

00:38:12.220 I need everybody to chip in and be part of this campaign.

00:38:16.200 I want you to make an investment.

00:38:18.340 And finally, as President Trump would say, getting the stench of Mitch out of Kentucky.

00:38:23.640 We've got to do it.

00:38:24.720 So I need your help.

00:38:25.800 Please go to natemorris.com.

00:38:27.700 Make a contribution.

00:38:29.260 I'm also on X, at Nate Morris.

00:38:32.000 And let's engage in some conversation.

00:38:34.320 Give me a follow.

00:38:35.440 I need your help all over the country to make this happen and to finally get rid of this stench of Mitch that we've had for far too long.

00:38:45.140 Remember, Steve, this guy's been in Congress before the Internet was created.

00:38:49.740 I mean, think about that for a minute.

00:38:51.480 1985.

00:38:52.880 It is time.

00:38:53.900 It is time to finally rid the country of the stench of Mitch.

00:39:01.220 Nate Morris, look forward to having you back.

00:39:03.320 Good luck over there at Breitbart with Matt Bull.

00:39:06.120 By the way, 10 o'clock, I think we're going to work it out.

00:39:08.060 Charlie Kirk's going to be there for a rally at 10 a.m.

00:39:10.540 Eastern Daylight Time on Monday, and we're going to try to pick it up and start the show with the live stream, maybe even chat with Charlie, who follows us here in Real America's Voice, and Nate.

00:39:20.920 Good luck.

00:39:21.420 Have a great weekend.

00:39:22.560 Nate, look forward to seeing you on Monday.

00:39:24.940 Thank you, Steve.

00:39:25.500 It's so great to be with you.

00:39:28.380 Thank you, brother.

00:39:30.040 How's that?

00:39:30.620 Is that a good – is that a double shot of express?

00:39:32.540 So in the engine room, North Carolina Division brings up, hey, going after a guy's hairline, this brother is playing for keeps.

00:39:44.860 And I might add, in all of the back and forth with Tel Aviv Levin, I never mentioned hairlines once.

00:39:53.180 Became a meme kind of, but I never mentioned hairlines – hey, just saying, never mentioned hairlines once.

00:39:57.880 I just wanted to make sure everybody knows that.

00:39:59.480 But Nate Morris, man, that's a throwdown right there.

00:40:03.640 Incredible.

00:40:06.120 So I'm going to play this again.

00:40:08.380 And I thought it was very appropriate to start the weekend off just to remind ourselves of what we've got to clean up here.

00:40:15.200 The big, beautiful bill is going to be throughout the weekend.

00:40:17.920 We're going to jump in and out.

00:40:19.340 Grace and Mo are going to figure out how we're going to live stream the votes and all the discussion and debates.

00:40:25.000 I'll be in and out.

00:40:26.700 Hey, Major, I've got Tase Gill here.

00:40:28.140 And Tase, you've got a couple things.

00:40:29.540 One is on the bill that I want to get to in a second.

00:40:32.420 But I tell you, let's start on the bill.

00:40:33.780 You've got a specific thing from the gun owners of America.

00:40:36.820 You're quite upset about something.

00:40:38.980 And, folks, I just want to say this.

00:40:41.100 There are going to be folks upset about so much stuff in this.

00:40:43.520 The parliamentarian is pulling out and stuff is back in.

00:40:46.100 And that's where we're going to try to get a handle on exactly what's being voted on.

00:40:49.540 But what is the situation with the gun owners of America, sir?

00:40:52.240 Yeah, it starts out with the Hearing Protection Act.

00:40:58.200 The sound suppressors or silencers are on the National Firearms Act of 1934, and they've been restricted ever since.

00:41:05.840 So you have to go through this crazy background check more than when buying a firearm.

00:41:11.300 And then you have to pay a $200 tax stamp.

00:41:14.500 It's a federal tax stamp when you buy a sound suppressor or a short-barreled rifle.

00:41:19.420 So the House of Representatives passed the Hearing Protection Act, and they put that into the big, beautiful bill.

00:41:26.180 And then the Senate put the short act, which takes short-barreled rifles and short-barreled shotguns off the NFA registry.

00:41:34.820 And you don't have to pay the tax on suppressors, short-barreled shotguns, or short-barreled rifles.

00:41:39.860 That's what these two bills, they're baked into the big, beautiful bill.

00:41:45.340 And they're both taxes, so they should go through under the Byrd rule because they're a tax.

00:41:52.680 And the Byrd rule, if it is budget reconciliation, it can go through without getting stripped out.

00:41:58.740 Well, the Senate parliamentarian, she's unelected. 1.00

00:42:04.220 She's Obama-era. 0.72

00:42:06.020 She is the swamp. 0.84

00:42:07.820 She is the deep state.

00:42:09.240 She does not represent Trump's constituents.

00:42:13.200 She stripped that out along with all kinds of other stuff, the Medicare, everything else that people are pissed off about.

00:42:19.500 But I wanted to bring up about the firearm stuff.

00:42:22.500 She stripped that out, which is illegal because it should be part of budget reconciliation because it's a $200 tax stamp every time you buy these things.

00:42:30.980 And it violates the Second Amendment because it puts you on a permanent gun registry when you buy a sound suppressor.

00:42:38.000 So Trump's DOJ just ruled that sound suppressors are firearms, so they should be protected under the Second Amendment.

00:42:45.140 So all this stuff got stripped out.

00:42:46.600 And then, you know this, John Thune, he hasn't overruled her.

00:42:50.820 She needs to be overruled or she needs to be fired because we live in a constitutional republic. 1.00

00:42:55.620 We, the people, are the constituents.

00:42:58.460 We vote in our representatives, the House of Representatives and the senators to represent us, and then they vote.

00:43:05.400 So I don't understand how this lady, this Obama-era lady, can override all of Congress. 1.00

00:43:11.380 She overruled the House of Representatives, and she overruled our Senate, and nobody's doing anything about it.

00:43:18.760 J.D. Vance can step in and override her and get the final vote on this.

00:43:22.400 But now they're trying to rewrite these things and water them down.

00:43:25.680 But this lady needs to be removed. 1.00

00:43:28.600 She is part of the deep state. 0.77

00:43:30.440 She is part of the swamp.

00:43:31.760 Okay, hang on for a second.

00:43:35.020 We're going to hold it.

00:43:35.460 Kurt Mills has got you.

00:43:36.580 We've got a major article, major penny piece.

00:43:39.260 I want to make sure we push that out.

00:43:40.580 We should clip that.

00:46:08.400 Tage Gill and Kurt Mills is going to join us for Pre-Pack.

00:46:11.680 Both French.

00:46:12.860 Our good buddy down in Tarrant County done such a great job in Tarrant County.

00:46:16.900 In Tarrant County, with Dan and all these others, are the railhead of turning around Texas and making sure Texas.

00:46:23.080 President Trump won by 14 points.

00:46:24.760 He's under onslaught this morning.

00:46:27.620 He's either criticized for taking on radical Islam or is an anti-Semite.

00:46:32.340 Take all of it.

00:46:32.880 We're going to try to get Bo up here this morning.

00:46:35.640 So, Taze Gill.

00:46:38.860 Dan Caldwell.

00:46:39.700 And people should understand, the reason Dan Caldwell is not in the Pentagon is because of his thinking.

00:46:45.960 And he's got an article out on the Washington Post this morning, an analysis piece that's, I think, pretty dead spot on.

00:46:52.440 But I wanted to get a practitioner like you, a warrior like you that has been in the region for, I don't know, 16, 18 deployments and have buddies that are still associated with it.

00:47:04.340 And then I got Kurt Mills who's going to come in and kind of frame it for us.

00:47:06.960 But I wanted to ask you first, as you read this and you saw what happened in the 12-day war, remember, it's a 12-day war because of President Trump.

00:47:14.160 And you still got these guys trying to extend it, trying to, you know, still talking about regime change, all that nonsense, not going to happen.

00:47:21.260 President Trump obliterated whatever program they had.

00:47:25.200 It's obliterated.

00:47:26.440 Move on.

00:47:27.320 He's now talking about a potential deal or maybe not a deal, but it's time to move on.

00:47:31.300 This piece, though, because immediately they go to all the casualties we had with the casualties we had because the Iraq war and getting up there and turning Iraq over, one-third of it over to the Persians.

00:47:40.820 But you could tell last week they're holding our troops hostage.

00:47:45.100 I'm talking about the neocons saying, oh, we got these troops.

00:47:47.540 You got to send in more troops.

00:47:48.660 You got to send them to protect them. 0.97

00:47:50.360 It's ridiculous.

00:47:51.860 You're holding – you're using American soldiers and sailors and airmen as human shields, and it's got to stop. 0.62

00:48:00.680 Tej Gill, as a practitioner, spent some time in that neighborhood.

00:48:03.980 Your thoughts?

00:48:04.500 Yeah, I definitely think we should draw down at least a good portion of the troops over there.

00:48:12.280 I don't think we should be isolationists and take everything out of the Middle East, but we have 40,000 troops over there, you know, three aircraft carrier groups, tons of ships and bombers.

00:48:23.720 We have everything over there, and then we use – we launched all our stuff stateside or from the submarines.

00:48:29.660 So basically we could have attacked – we did attack Iran remotely. 0.52

00:48:33.920 We didn't even use the assets over there.

00:48:35.480 A lot of them are just there for deterrence and for deploy so we can get stuff done faster.

00:48:40.780 But we don't – I personally don't think we need 40,000 troops over there scattered all over the Middle East.

00:48:47.040 But it's part of the bigger – the war machine, right, the military-industrial complex.

00:48:51.660 We saw this during the Iraq War.

00:48:53.920 All the bases I worked on, they all had big signs at KBR.

00:48:57.460 KBR was a big support company.

00:48:59.820 They did all the logistics for the bases, and guess who had their fingers in that?

00:49:04.420 Dick Cheney, right?

00:49:05.660 It's – everything goes back to our politicians just getting obscenely filthy rich off these wars and off the military.

00:49:15.140 And like you said, our troops are there as human shields, they're there for deterrence, and most of the time they don't get used.

00:49:24.700 So why are they there?

00:49:25.940 There's a lot of – they should be on our southern border and northern border protecting America, right?

00:49:31.300 And Trump's got it down to zero last month, but that's where they should be.

00:49:35.820 If they're going to be sitting somewhere for deterrence, let's have them protecting America.

00:49:40.180 And I'm not saying pull them all out, but we don't need 40,000 troops just sitting there.

00:49:46.560 That's my opinion on this.

00:49:48.480 And like I said, I think – and then the Gulf states, they didn't want us launching from their countries or using their airspace to conduct these attacks on Iran because they don't want to get drug into it.

00:50:01.860 So let's draw down a good portion of it, not all of it, because we don't want to be isolationists.

00:50:08.300 And then let's bring them back here and use them for something better, like protecting the homeland, right?

00:50:14.160 We have fentanyl coming in still.

00:50:15.840 We have all this – we need the troops here protecting our borders, I think.

00:50:22.160 Well, if you've got to do a strike – if you do a strike, let's do a couple of strikes.

00:50:25.500 Let's interdict some fentanyl down in – let's take a couple of cartels out in northern Mexico.

00:50:31.060 I'd rather have troops do an interdiction down there than this thing. 0.96

00:50:36.300 And they're using these human shields, and you saw immediately the callousness of the Israel First crowd, the Tel Aviv, Levin, and that crowd immediately go, oh, we've got to protect the troops.

00:50:48.100 They're not interested in protecting the troops.

00:50:49.300 They're using the troops as human shields.

00:50:51.760 It's not acceptable.

00:50:52.260 Another thing is, Steve –

00:50:53.080 It's not acceptable.

00:50:53.940 We've got to think this – yeah, go ahead, sir.

00:50:56.420 Speaking about the cartels, the precursors for fentanyl come from China on ships. 0.81

00:51:01.840 We should just torpedo those ships and sink them in the sea. 0.57

00:51:06.340 Hundreds of thousands of Americans are dead because of that. 1.00

00:51:09.580 We should bomb the labs in Mexico and torpedo the ships at sea.

00:51:13.460 A higher probability of protecting Americans versus 30 tomahawks to whatever the cosplay nuclear program is.

00:51:27.340 And President Trump had to take care of it, and he did it definitively.

00:51:30.540 Boom.

00:51:31.220 One and done.

00:51:32.320 It's over.

00:51:33.000 The 12-day war is over.

00:51:34.240 I don't want to hear any more about it.

00:51:35.820 It's over.

00:51:36.920 He did exactly the right thing.

00:51:38.480 But if you talk about a better use of 30 tomahawks, let's put 30 tomahawks in these Chinese vessels coming over, 1.00

00:51:46.680 dropping basically the underpinning and the precursors for fentanyl.

00:51:51.280 Put – take one tomahawk per cargo ship, right?

00:51:56.800 Give them a – by the way, in the Navy, you come up, you raise up, you give them a warning.
