Bannon's War Room - Episode 4605： Hakeem Jeffries Fights Against The BBB On The House Floor

00:00:00.300 These are just the words that were issued. I'm not even trying to characterize the words.

00:00:07.280 But the American people need to hear these words from the people that were sent to Congress to protect their interests.

00:00:19.380 We are watching Hakeem Jeffries live in the House. His magic minute is now in this fifth hour.

00:00:25.860 We're going to watch a little bit of this before we bring in the show. Let's go back live.

00:00:30.000 It says this was one of the hardest votes I have taken during my time in the Senate.

00:00:48.220 Let me just editorialize there briefly. This should not be a hard vote, Senator Murkowski.

00:00:56.240 This should be a hell no vote on behalf of the people you were sent to Washington to represent.

00:01:06.160 It's a hell no vote for us because we're standing up on behalf of the American people.

00:01:12.020 It should be a hell no vote.

00:01:13.140 Senator Murkowski says this was one of the hardest votes I have taken during my time in the Senate.

00:01:31.140 And then she keeps it real.

00:01:44.340 As far as I can tell, she says,

00:01:45.840 But let's not kid ourselves.

00:01:53.160 This has been an awful process.

00:01:58.820 Speaking of those are the words of a Republican senator.

00:02:02.800 Not us.

00:02:03.620 This has been an awful process, a frantic rush to meet an artificial deadline that has tested every limit of this institution.

00:02:16.020 While we have worked to improve the present bill for Alaska.

00:02:28.940 Here's what we're going to do.

00:02:30.580 We're going to bring the that's OK.

00:02:32.200 Hakeem Jeffries there, the minority leader.

00:02:34.240 He gets as much time as he wants.

00:02:35.840 It's called the magic minute.

00:02:37.220 One time McCarthy spoke for eight hours.

00:02:41.080 Hakeem Jeffries is now in his fifth hour.

00:02:43.680 It doesn't look like he's slowing down.

00:02:45.740 This is just all backing up the process for bringing the big, beautiful bill, which will pass.

00:02:50.720 The rule passed.

00:02:52.200 Everybody's on board.

00:02:53.160 219 votes.

00:02:54.100 It will pass.

00:02:55.100 But it's going to have to wait until after Hakeem Jeffries.

00:02:58.620 Then I think there's going to be a debate on the bill.

00:03:00.680 So this could take throughout the day.

00:03:02.420 They plan on 830 in the morning.

00:03:03.980 Let's go to bring the show in.

00:03:05.520 We're going to rock and roll now.

00:03:06.660 Let's go ahead.

00:03:07.020 Let it rip.

00:03:07.360 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.

00:03:15.380 Pray for our enemies.

00:03:17.340 Because we're going medieval on these people.

00:03:20.600 I got a free shot.

00:03:21.860 All these networks lying about the people.

00:03:24.860 The people have had a belly full of it.

00:03:26.840 I know you don't like hearing that.

00:03:28.260 I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that.

00:03:29.960 But you're not going to stop it.

00:03:30.880 It's going to happen.

00:03:32.180 And where do people like that go to share the big line?

00:03:35.560 MAGA media.

00:03:36.460 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

00:03:42.380 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

00:03:46.100 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

00:03:52.460 War Room.

00:03:53.320 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

00:04:00.900 It's Thursday, 3 July in the year of our Lord, 2025.

00:04:04.480 And it's a quite historic day and overnight.

00:04:07.360 President Trump whipping votes at 2.30 in the morning.

00:04:10.240 Finally got the rules passed.

00:04:13.160 Just the bill has to be passed.

00:04:14.960 They always give the courtesy of the minority leader to make a few appropriate comments.

00:04:20.900 They give him a minute.

00:04:22.020 It's called the magic minute.

00:04:22.940 And he takes whatever he wants.

00:04:25.360 Hakeem Jeffries now in the fifth hour.

00:04:26.720 Can we go ahead and split screen that for a second?

00:04:28.500 I just want to.

00:04:29.260 There we go.

00:04:30.240 Hakeem Jeffries has been there for five hours.

00:04:32.340 And he's been eviscerating, obviously, the big, beautiful bill for the entire time.

00:04:37.820 A combination of mocking and ridiculing and intense political warfare.

00:04:42.880 The 2026 midterm campaign is being laid out on the House floor, even as we speak.

00:04:49.700 And this is why yesterday I was so upset that the Republicans did not fire back.

00:04:53.520 I think we have a limited debate today on the bill before passage, and the bill will pass, that we will maybe hopefully hear the beginning of the counterattack.

00:05:03.960 Because I think that we should be driving this with all its failures, all its flaws.

00:05:09.860 And it's got failures and it's got flaws.

00:05:12.100 As any massive piece of legislation like this has, it's got a lot of good in there.

00:05:17.340 And the good could actually – we're making a bet on a supply-side tax cut to get the country's economy going again and growing at 2.83, 3.5, 4, maybe even higher percent, which is exactly what this country needs to a combination of things.

00:05:32.500 We've actually done a highlight reel of Hakeem Jeffries' previous 4.5 or 5 hours.

00:05:39.000 We know the audience is dying to hear that, particularly it will get your blood up early in the morning.

00:05:45.620 But I want to go to Joe Lavagna from the Treasury.

00:05:51.240 Joe, the big, beautiful bill is going to pass.

00:05:53.200 We are now hearing that President Trump is going to sign it tomorrow, and they're actually talking about maybe tomorrow afternoon at 5 o'clock, something before the big 4th of July celebration really kicks off.

00:06:05.120 It will be all day.

00:06:06.720 War Room will be live in the morning, and if we need to, with Real America's Voice, we'll make sure we have the coverage of President Trump signing it.

00:06:12.880 Because I'm sure the signing ceremony is going to be something to remember.

00:06:16.360 Given that the president was whipping the vote himself, he had the group of recalcitrant House members on the phone I think at 2.30 in the morning, and eventually they kind of rolled over.

00:06:29.560 And we're going to talk about it.

00:06:30.660 I think there's a combination of things that have been committed to and promised, a lot of executive orders and things to clean up the Senate bill.

00:06:38.140 People should have to say it.

00:06:38.960 When I say it's going to be voted on here shortly, this is exactly the Senate bill.

00:06:43.800 There will be no changes.

00:06:44.940 That does not have to go back to the Senate.

00:06:46.600 They are essentially – this was the hang-up for many members.

00:06:50.780 Given everything – and we weren't totally crazy about the House bill, but given everything the House had done to actually make it probably as good as you could get given the politics, the Senate changed it in some cases pretty substantially.

00:07:03.980 But what you're getting is the Senate bill.

00:07:05.760 That's what will be voted on here shortly or when Hakeem Jeffries gives up the floor, which could be at any time.

00:07:13.220 And, of course, we'll cover that live to get the rest of the event rolling.

00:07:17.680 Joe, so given where we stand, we're going to pass this Senate bill.

00:07:20.840 Once again, make the case for this, why this – as Scott Besson said, the Secretary of Treasury back when he was just a contributor to the war room, that this will be our last shot for a supply-side solution to the nation's economic problems.

00:07:36.100 Hakeem Jeffries has taken five hours to eviscerate that on the House floor.

00:07:42.480 Of course, he doesn't talk a lot about growth.

00:07:44.280 He doesn't talk about invested capital.

00:07:46.200 That's not really their thing.

00:07:48.440 So what is our argument?

00:07:49.580 What is the key argument for this bill and how it's going to rejuvenate the American economy and the United States of America, sir?

00:07:57.360 Steve, thanks for having me.

00:07:58.480 The only person that sleeps less than Secretary Besson is Secretary – sorry, is President Trump.

00:08:04.580 I mean, it's amazing how hard these patriots work.

00:08:07.820 Look, the problem with the scoring, as I've said many times, is the CBO is assuming an historically pessimistic and dour growth rate of 1.8 percent basically implies productivity growth is in the low ones, about 1 percent.

00:08:23.120 That's terrible.

00:08:24.120 That's not the case of what we saw under Trump's first term, when productivity growth was accelerating every year.

00:08:30.120 Real GDP, as you highlight, is close to 3 percent.

00:08:32.840 3 percent, to me, is the right number going forward, given the fact that this bill will do significant – be significantly advantageous for small businesses, the backbone of the economy.

00:08:44.840 They generate 40 percent of all employment.

00:08:47.840 It doubles the expensing, the depreciation.

00:08:50.840 We've also got the full expensing of capital equipment that would also pertain to large companies.

00:08:55.840 We're going to expense factories and building.

00:08:58.840 This morning's unemployment report showed a 15,000 increase in construction.

00:09:02.840 That should accelerate.

00:09:03.840 Basically, the one big, beautiful bill, with all of the energy dominance and independence, less regulation in terms of permitting and being able to access that abundant energy.

00:09:13.840 All that is designed to be able to produce more of the goods and services that people want.

00:09:19.840 So, to me, people should try to – people should explain.

00:09:22.840 They should be responsible for why is the CBO giving you an historically depressed growth rate.

00:09:27.840 And it matters, because if you go back and look at the CBO's numbers from January, which is their latest published numbers in terms of the detailed revenue specification.

00:09:35.840 If you just take the 1.8 and make it 3, which to me is a much more plausible number, you add about a trillion dollars in more revenue than what CBO was forecasting in January.

00:09:48.840 And that's without any tariff effect.

00:09:51.840 So, this notion that their latest scoring is going to somehow add about $2.5 trillion to the deficit I think is completely incorrect.

00:09:58.840 And the bond market is saying as much.

00:10:00.840 The bond market yields are down about half a point from where they were in January.

00:10:04.840 And the equity market is up.

00:10:06.840 Credit spreads are tight because investor base, which is so we're looking, is anticipating a much stronger second half growth.

00:10:14.840 So, I think the growth is the key variable, because if you get the growth assumption wrong, everything thereafter, Steve, is going to be wrong.

00:10:23.840 You know, speaking of CBO, they were wrong the first time with President Trump.

00:10:26.840 And the first Trump tax cut is small compared to this, because this made things permanent.

00:10:32.840 But also, it's so more aggressive on capital equipment, expensing capital equipment.

00:10:39.840 This was built – this bill is built around a bet or an assumption that by increasing capital investment in plant and equipment, that manufacturing is going to be rejuvenated either through onshoring or people just building a new plant here and starting new businesses.

00:10:55.840 And that expensing is going to add a – is going to turbocharge this.

00:11:00.840 CBO missed it the first time.

00:11:02.840 And President Trump on average – and you've got to look to history – 2.8% average and 3.4%, as Steve Cortez always reminds me, in the fourth quarter of 2019, kind of the golden age of the American economy, Joe.

00:11:15.840 Right. Well, the thing is – and, Steve, the one big, beautiful bill dovetails with increased energy production and, of course, the tariffs, because the tariffs are an incentive for companies to operate here to build a manufacturing base, which lifts worker wages and generates more production and faster GDP growth.

00:11:32.840 So everything is integrated and combined together. Everybody sort of – the critics have always just looked at – they've picked it apart and looked at things in isolation, which is completely incorrect.

00:11:41.840 But let me also say this, Steve. You talk about CBO's forecast being off. They've generally had an institutional bias to be pessimistic, and certainly with President Trump's forecast.

00:11:51.840 We also saw that with the Federal Reserve. Same thing back in the – back in the first Trump administration. They estimated growth on the low side.

00:11:59.840 CBO estimated growth on the low side. And it's clear, based on the CBO assumptions, which everybody's worked up about because of the alleged deterioration in the deficit,

00:12:08.840 those assumptions are almost guaranteed to be wrong. They don't even account for a huge AI boom.

00:12:13.840 And as you were alluding to, all the foreign capital that's coming into the U.S. because they perceive the returns on their capital be much higher than virtually any place else in the world.

00:12:22.840 That's inconsistent with sub-2 percent real GDP.

00:12:27.840 What should be the indicators? What are the indicators you're looking at now for the exemptions?

00:12:33.840 You talk about the stock market. You talk about the bond market. You talk about tight credit spreads.

00:12:36.840 Put some flesh on the bones. We've got a minute or two left. I want people to understand that there are – this is just not people pitching this.

00:12:44.840 This is just not outside people talking about it, that these massive global capital markets are weighing and measure every line of this, and they're responding.

00:12:53.840 How are they responding right now?

00:12:54.840 So what I would look at, Steve, so in the employment report today, if you look at the hours worked in the private sector, how many people are working?

00:13:01.840 How many people are working? How many hours are they working? It's up nearly 2 percent. That's at a two-and-a-half-year high.

00:13:07.840 That supports 3 percent-type GDP growth for Q2, and given where the markets are, growth should accelerate.

00:13:13.840 I'm going to be watching the structures piece of GDP. I'm going to be looking at the Federal Reserve's production of business equipment, which boomed over 20 percent in the first quarter.

00:13:23.840 I'm going to be following construction spending, goods employment. Those are the areas of the economy that are going to directly benefit from the one big, beautiful bill.

00:13:31.840 And now that this thing is basically done, that clarity and certainty is going to cause businesses finally to reach into their pockets and do the things they've been planning to do.

00:13:40.840 But now they know it's going to happen. They're going to get those low tax rates, and the supply-side boom now can really start to expand.

00:13:48.840 Joe, can you hang on a minute? I want to take a short commercial break.

00:13:51.840 I do want to play the Rick Santelli piece because we had the additional, kind of the more formal jobs report this morning, and I want to play that and have your response.

00:14:00.840 We've got EJ and Tony's going to join us. Steve Cortez is going to join us. Lara Logan's going to join us.

00:14:06.840 I think we're trying to track down Harmeet Dillon. I think hopefully we'll get her slotted.

00:14:11.840 If not today, hopefully tomorrow or Saturday, we'll be live both days because of the pressing, not just the all-important holiday and event of the birth of this nation, but also because of the pressing news, both in Rio de Janeiro, globally, and here in the United States of America.

00:14:31.780 I want to make sure Philip Patrick's going to be with us from Rio on Saturday on kind of the kickoff day of the BRICS conference.

00:14:40.780 He's down there. I just talked to him this morning, interviewing everybody, these finance ministers, central bankers, all of it.

00:14:47.100 We'll have a lot to report. Short commercial break brought to you by Birch Gold.

00:14:52.800 We'll return to the Treasury Department in just a moment.

00:14:55.380 This July, there is a global summit of BRICS nations in Rio de Janeiro, the block of emerging superpowers, including China, Russia, India, and Persia, are meeting with the goal of displacing the United States dollar as the global currency.

00:15:15.160 They're calling this the Rio Reset. As BRICS nations push forward with their plans, global demand for U.S. dollars will decrease, bringing down the value of the dollar in your savings.

00:15:26.960 While this transition won't not happen overnight, but trust me, it's going to start in Rio.

00:15:32.880 The Rio Reset in July marks a pivotal moment when BRICS objectives move decisively from a theoretical possibility towards inevitable reality.

00:16:27.560 Jobs report. I wouldn't look for this to make an easy, more likely, 147,000 jobs.

00:16:34.880 Definitely a bit better than expected.

00:16:37.520 No matter what your range was, whether it was closer to 100 or 115,000, it's a pretty good number.

00:16:43.660 And guess what? If we look at the two-month revision, it's positive.

00:16:48.720 It's up 16,000.

00:16:51.180 How does 147 stack up?

00:16:53.560 Well, it's pretty odd because it's exactly where we were in April, unless they revised that,

00:16:59.180 to find a higher number than that, well, you're going back to last year.

00:17:03.460 So this is tied for the, you know, second best, tied for the first best number of job creation of the year.

00:17:09.860 Okay, EJ is also going to join us in the second hour and Steve Cortez to talk about this.

00:17:17.800 But, Joe, just an observation on the Labor Department, and I don't know if somebody's going to go get their mind right over there,

00:17:24.400 but in Biden, it was always up and the reforecasting was always down.

00:17:30.660 You know, they reforecast to the real number months after the media paid attention, it was always down.

00:17:35.120 So the report was always gun-decked.

00:17:36.860 Here with Trump, correct me if I'm wrong, they're always, you know, surprise, surprise.

00:17:42.560 They're always under forecast.

00:17:44.760 I think the correction is 16,000 to the positive.

00:17:47.600 But as you look at this jobs report, how does the Treasury Department look at this?

00:17:53.180 Is this a positive?

00:17:54.320 Is this a good kind of foundation to kick off the big, beautiful bill's execution over the next 24 to 48 hours, sir?

00:18:01.500 Yes, it's a very good foundation.

00:18:03.620 As I mentioned, the hours are very strong.

00:18:05.400 But also, Steve, recall just a couple months ago, all the nervous Nellies in the financial markets were saying how there was going to be a recession.

00:18:13.340 One forecaster said 95 percent chance of a downturn.

00:18:17.020 And here you are.

00:18:17.680 You see the data.

00:18:18.240 The data are holding up reasonably well.

00:18:20.680 And to your point about revisions, generally the revisions tell us something about the underlying direction of the economy.

00:18:26.620 So if we continue to get upward revisions, that suggests the economy is strengthening and that the trend is going to be higher.

00:18:33.160 At Treasury, we're encouraged by the fact, if you look at the job gains year to date, over 2 million of them are native-born workers.

00:18:42.580 I believe we've had something like half a million decline in foreign-born workers.

00:18:46.600 That could be a very good proxy for illegal immigration.

00:18:50.260 So to the extent now that the border is secure, thanks to President Trump's policies, and which is clearly going to be reinforced in the one big, beautiful bill, what that means, Steve, is you're not going to have below-market, below-equilibrium workers enter into the market to press American wages.

00:19:04.460 So as Secretary Besson's been highlighting, what you're going to see is wage growth accelerate.

00:19:09.580 As you know, the first five months of the year, real blue-collar wages have grown the fastest to start any administration on record.

00:19:16.040 So as the illegal immigration basically has disappeared, you're going to see faster nominal wages.

00:19:21.780 With declining inflation, that means real wages expand.

00:19:24.640 It means living standards grow.

00:19:26.340 And, of course, all this is reinforced now by this imminent passage of the one big, beautiful bill.

00:19:30.280 Well, does the – the manufacturing is a little light and the government is a little strong in this overall.

00:19:39.720 Is this the point of why we need the big, beautiful bill is we need to – this will focus on reshoring in our manufacturing base. 1.00

00:19:46.200 And the key here is to get a native-born manufacturing jobs, high-value-added jobs created here in the country that people can raise families around and build careers around, sir?

00:19:57.860 Yes, that's exactly right, Stephen.

00:20:00.580 Part of the reason that manufacturing is soft and housing is soft, to be honest, is because the prior administration led to a 40-year – their irresponsible fiscal policies led to a deficit that went up to near 7 percent of GDP in an economy that was at full employment.

00:20:15.620 And inflation went to a 40-year-plus high.

00:20:18.380 And that's kept interest rates high.

00:20:20.540 So as inflation is coming down and all the pessimists on the tariffs have been proven completely wrong, and they were saying the tariffs are going to impact the data in March – didn't happen in March, didn't happen in April, didn't happen in May, long rates are falling – those market-based rates will come down.

00:20:36.060 And that will help lift housing. 0.98

00:20:38.140 It will help lift manufacturing.

00:20:39.920 And, of course, the big piece is the one big, beautiful bill tied in with the deregulation, the tariffs, the re-onshoring, re-industrialization.

00:20:48.240 All those things are all interconnected and interwoven.

00:20:53.140 And the full-spectrum energy dominance.

00:20:55.520 Last question, Joe.

00:20:56.380 So yesterday we were saying – and the president, I think, picked up on it because he's been hammering – he's been hammering – what do you call it, too late Jones, too late Powell – in the labor report talking about potentially a softening labor market.

00:21:08.780 Does this report, you think, get Powell a little breathing room?

00:21:12.060 Will he use this as a shield?

00:21:14.260 I don't want to say a human shield, but will he use this as a shield against people that are saying, hey, you've got to cut rates.

00:21:21.000 You've been late to the party every time, but you've got to cut rates because of potentially a soft labor market out there, sir?

00:21:27.760 Steve, the financial markets, the forward-looking financial markets, are anticipating the Fed to cut interest rates.

00:21:33.320 If you look at real or inflation-adjusted interest rates, and we take one of Chair Powell's favorite metrics, it's down well over a point, which means that the real or inflation-adjusted interest rate by this one measure has actually increased.

00:21:46.340 So, historically, it is true the Fed has been late in cutting rates, and their own research has shown that time and time again.

00:21:54.900 The president clearly has made a very forceful and powerful argument for lower rates, so I don't want to comment directly on Fed policy, but the historical record is correct.

00:22:04.140 The Fed has almost always been late in terms of easing rates.

00:22:07.340 Hey, Joe, where can people get you on social media to follow you?

00:22:13.100 Because I know between now and the signing and then afterwards, the Treasury Department will be one of the principal departments that the president looks to, Secretary Besant, on the execution of the big, beautiful bill.

00:22:24.200 So, where do people go to follow you?

00:22:25.680 So, yes, as you mentioned that, Steve, so at Scott Besant, first and foremost, that's who you have to follow.

00:22:31.520 And if you want to take that second look around, then you can follow me at Livornianomics.

00:22:38.740 Brother, thank you so much for explaining this all to us.

00:22:41.000 Appreciate you.

00:22:41.820 Thank you, Steve.

00:22:42.480 Always my pleasure.

00:22:43.460 Have a great fourth.

00:22:46.080 Thank you, brother.

00:22:47.060 Our crack production team is going to keep an eye on Hakeem Jeffries.

00:22:50.060 Let me bring Cortez in.

00:22:51.940 So, Cortez, you now run a group that's focused on not just native-born labor but Hispanic citizens, others, to get manufacturing jobs back.

00:23:01.680 So, this is right in your wheelhouse.

00:23:03.600 In addition, we've been at the forefront with you of this observations about artificial intelligence.

00:23:10.240 A very disturbing story.

00:23:11.500 Everybody should go to get on Getter.

00:23:14.240 I'm exclusive over there.

00:23:15.480 And you see my Getter account, I've got a story up on Semaphore, which is just announced in some research reports they've been going through that artificial intelligence, machine learning, is increasing capabilities every seven months, or doubling capabilities every seven months, not every two years.

00:23:33.940 So, this is going to hit us quicker than ever.

00:23:38.040 Add that to the supply-side cut.

00:23:40.080 Your thoughts first on the labor report from this morning.

00:23:43.600 Where do you see strengths?

00:23:44.640 Where do you have issues?

00:23:46.340 Where do you have concerns?

00:23:47.720 And then let's talk about the big, beautiful bill.

00:23:49.780 You bet.

00:23:50.380 So, listen, regarding this jobs report out today, on the whole, it is solid.

00:23:54.580 It is not great.

00:23:55.380 There is some very great news in there.

00:23:57.340 And there's also some worrisome parts of this report.

00:23:59.640 And let's get specific on that.

00:24:00.880 If we can pull up chart one, by the way, this is just a report out showing the numbers from CNBC.

00:24:06.220 So, overall, at 147,000 jobs, that is certainly a very solid top-line number.

00:24:11.680 But if we look at the details, what's the worrisome part?

00:24:13.760 Let's get to that first.

00:24:14.840 Well, about half of them, 73,000, come from government, mostly state and local.

00:24:20.400 Now, that's good.

00:24:21.120 It's not the federal government, which shed jobs.

00:24:23.120 It's state and local.

00:24:24.200 A lot of back-to-school hiring going on there.

00:24:26.960 But also worrisome, what I would call government-adjacent, which is health care and social assistance.

00:24:31.760 Assistance, 39,000 jobs in health care, 19,000 in social assistance.

00:24:36.420 Manufacturing lost 7,000 jobs in this report.

00:24:39.740 Now, let's get to the great news, though.

00:24:41.100 And that is at the top of the article there.

00:24:42.900 And that is the galloping hire in wages, and particularly real wages.

00:24:48.680 And, Steve, real wages are the mother's milk of prosperity for the vast majority of Americans.

00:24:53.540 For Main Street USA, when your income is rising faster than the expenses in your life, you are getting more prosperous.

00:24:59.220 And as you mentioned earlier, the golden year in all of American history, it's not an exaggeration, was 2019 for real wage growth for all Americans, but particularly for those at the lower rungs of the socioeconomic ladder who needed those gains the most.

00:25:13.120 Now, can we replicate that again?

00:25:15.340 I believe we can with President Trump's second term, that it can happen.

00:25:19.260 But we've got to be really smart about policies, and not just on the economic side, but also on the immigration side.

00:25:25.420 And in large part, because of what's going on with AI.

00:25:27.820 Microsoft, of course, announced 9,000 job cuts.

00:25:31.400 Now, those are family-sustaining, high-paying jobs.

00:25:34.660 And there has really been wreckage, particularly in big tech, but not only big tech, already because of what AI is doing.

00:25:40.920 AI has incredible promise economically.

00:25:43.600 It also has tremendous peril, potentially, for the United States.

00:25:46.800 And no one has covered that entire issue better than you have.

00:25:50.020 But on the economic side, we've got to be very cognizant of this.

00:25:53.000 And if we can look at another aspect of the jobs market, let's look at the ADP report.

00:25:57.260 If we can pull up chart two.

00:25:58.880 And ADP, of course, is the behemoth of human resources and payrolls in this country.

00:26:04.660 It showed a negative number for the first time since 2023.

00:26:09.380 So that is obviously worrisome.

00:26:11.140 Now, the ADP forecast and the government statistics don't always match up exactly over a long period of time.

00:26:16.680 They generally do.

00:26:17.420 But this is cause for concern.

00:26:19.720 Now, is this the fault of President Trump?

00:26:21.600 Not remotely.

00:26:22.740 This is about AI.

00:26:24.200 And I think that is very clear, that AI is already starting to massively eliminate white-collar jobs in particular.

00:26:30.920 And let me show you that on chart three.

00:26:32.540 This is from the Wall Street Journal.

00:26:34.300 I've shown this actually before on the show.

00:26:35.620 We showed this last week.

00:26:37.040 This is white-collar jobs executives and managers.

00:26:40.140 And as you can see on the lower half of that chart, it is a very troubling trend for several years now.

00:26:45.840 You know, we might call it a secular trend.

00:26:48.220 Okay, now let's connect this to immigration.

00:26:50.500 And the war room does this better than anybody, connecting the dots between issues which may not initially seem to be all that linked but are actually inextricably linked.

00:26:58.740 So the power of AI can absolutely be the jet fuel that allows productivity to soar in this country and allows this big bet on growth, which is what this triple B bill really is.

00:27:11.260 It is a massive bet on growth.

00:27:13.500 For it to work, AI is going to have to be a key component to seeing the kinds of productivity gains that we can get.

00:27:19.460 It's similar in many ways to the bet of the late 90s in the United States, when in the early days of the Internet, that new technology helped power balance budgets into the late 90s under Bill Clinton with the help of a Republican Congress who got sane on fiscal policy.

00:27:35.440 We can have a similar phenomenon now with AI, but here is the risk to AI are these job eliminations.

00:27:41.780 And that's why it is so imperative, more than ever, for us to get control of not just our borders, but also mass deportations of illegal workers from this country. 0.53

00:27:53.080 There is no time that is a good time to tolerate illegal migration and illegal workers, a flood of millions of illegal workers into this country competing against Americans. 0.93

00:28:01.980 But this is the worst possible time, given AI.

00:28:04.680 Yeah.

00:28:06.260 Hang on, Steve.

00:28:06.980 Also about the H-1B visas and all the visa programs.

00:28:09.540 We've got to have it now, we've got to hammer down to it.

00:28:11.680 The way this thing got passed last night, President Trump, there's a commitment, I think, to a number of executive orders on costs, pocket rescissions, impoundments, all of it.

00:28:19.840 I'll get back into that when we return in just a moment.

00:28:27.240 You missed the IRS tax deadline.

00:28:30.440 You think it's just going to go away?

00:28:31.820 Well, think again.

00:29:47.160 Okay, now more than ever, it's not the price of gold.

00:29:57.840 It's the process of how you get to the price.

00:29:59.760 It's the process of how gold gets its value as a hedge.

00:30:24.060 He's there right now talking to central bankers, talking to finance ministers at the BRICS Nation as the Global South come together.

00:30:31.820 Birchgold.com slash Bannon, the end of the dollar empire.

00:30:38.160 You'll understand everything about debt deficits, debt ceilings, all of it.

00:30:42.780 And trust me, those worries are not gone.

00:30:46.380 They're still going to be a big part of this.

00:30:47.600 We're going to talk about the appropriations process later.

00:30:50.740 Also, remember, if President Trump whipped this vote, 2.30 in the morning, he was still whipping the vote.

00:30:55.740 I mean, think about it.

00:30:56.880 This guy makes the deals.

00:30:58.500 Then he has to sell the deal.

00:31:00.500 He has to whip it.

00:31:01.340 He has to bring it together.

00:31:02.800 There were some, I think, commitments made on the executive order side about getting control of spending.

00:31:12.080 As you know, we've been a big believer in impoundments.

00:31:15.680 I think you're going to see rescissions, maybe pocket rescissions.

00:31:18.680 The appropriations process.

00:31:20.620 Remember, September 30th, the fiscal year ends.

00:31:22.980 This whole appropriation process for fiscal 26 is where the rubber meets the road.

00:31:28.040 And you're going to see another big fight because people are adamant we've got to get the cost down here.

00:31:32.060 President Trump understands that.

00:31:33.740 I think Russ Vogt understands it.

00:31:35.520 Russ Vogt's come up with a series, I think, of potential, at least partial solutions.

00:31:41.720 This is why the big, beautiful bill, what you're seeing today is going to be voted on.

00:31:45.420 And you've got to embrace this.

00:31:47.140 It's the Senate bill.

00:31:48.040 It's not the House bill.

00:31:48.860 Nothing will be changed that came over from the Senate.

00:31:50.920 Otherwise, it would have to go back and forth.

00:31:52.960 There was a decision made.

00:31:53.880 We're not going to do that because it could take forever.

00:31:56.820 Decision was made about some, not changes, but actions that are going to be taken.

00:32:01.380 I think you'll see these out of President Trump, the White House, Russ Vogt, the Office of Management and Budget, to get tougher on cost cutting.

00:32:08.800 So that will come out, I think, later.

00:32:11.920 But now more than ever, I think you have to understand why gold has been a hedge against particularly fiat currency for thousands of years.

00:32:21.540 Make sure you understand that, birchgold.com, promo code BANNON, slash BANNON, get the end of the dollar empire.

00:32:28.520 But also you get a relationship with Philip Patrick and the team, and that's important.

00:32:32.980 Also, Tax Network USA, let me give you a newsflash.

00:32:37.140 In order to – they keep talking about revenue.

00:32:39.660 Right now we basically spend $7 trillion.

00:32:41.560 We bring in $5 trillion.

00:32:42.640 There's $2 trillion gap.

00:32:44.700 The growth potential of this is to get revenues up because economic growth is up and people are paying more taxes on existing – these tax structures we put in permanently, that they will end up paying more taxes.

00:32:59.440 We'll reshore more jobs.

00:33:00.640 So the tariffs are coming and reshoring more jobs, more employment, more corporate activity, more taxes.

00:33:05.900 That being said, the IRS is going to come and try to get every penny they think they're owed.

00:33:10.300 I understand there's a bid in the ass between what you think and what they think.

00:33:15.160 That letter that you have, that you have in the middle drawer, well, guess what?

00:33:18.480 That's what they think.

00:33:19.620 And right now, the way our courts are structured, what they think carries a lot of weight.

00:33:24.320 You need to go to Tax Network USA, TNUSA.com, promo code BANNON, or call 800-958-1000.

00:33:32.120 Tell them Steve Bannon sent you.

00:33:43.140 Get somebody there that's actually sorted out over $1 billion of tax problems.

00:33:48.920 They know how to talk to.

00:33:49.940 They know what deals can be cut.

00:33:51.640 So go talk to Tax Network USA today, 800-958-1000, because the IRS is coming, looking for their money, at least what they think theirs is.

00:34:00.020 So Steve Cortez, yesterday – and I'm trying to get Julie Kelly on here.

00:34:04.680 We had Mike Davis yesterday, a judge.

00:34:06.940 And this goes – folks, the economics here and the politics and the geopolitics are all inextricably linked.

00:34:15.020 You know, Jillian Ted had a great piece in the Financial Times we talked about a couple weeks ago where she said, hey, nowadays it's called geoeconomics.

00:34:22.740 You've got to look at the geopolitics, the national security, the foreign policy, but it's also tied with domestic policy and it's tied with things like the big, beautiful bill.

00:34:31.520 The judicial insurrection to thwart President Trump's policy – because remember, $170 billion – and I want this to burn into your soul for the audience – $170 billion in this program is essentially for ICE, for securing the border permanently, and also for the removal of 10 to 20 million illegal alien evaders.

00:34:55.380 And this is just a start.

00:34:56.740 That didn't – this is not paying for all of them.

00:34:58.980 But that is what Biden and his regime did to the country.

00:35:02.500 And the reason they did to the country, you see in New York City, you see in L.A., you see in Chicago. 0.90

00:35:06.860 That's the America they want. 0.90

00:35:08.720 If you want the America that has returned to her former greatness, make America great again, this is going to be a fight.

00:35:15.620 Just don't think, oh, you've got a great slogan.

00:35:18.060 You've got to control the House and the Senate.

00:35:19.860 Fine.

00:35:20.160 Do what you want to do.

00:35:20.840 This is a fight where we had a massive win in the House's legislation is massive, massive, and covering so many different things.

00:35:29.500 The courts yesterday, after the Supreme Court ruled at the first chance a federal sitting judge in D.C. had a chance, he designated all the amnesty breakers, 10 or 20 million of them, as a class.

00:35:42.160 And he says, guess what?

00:35:43.760 Screw Trump.

00:35:44.580 They get to stay here until I, the judge, say otherwise.

00:35:49.160 So, Steve, this fight, we're fighting on many fronts, but it's all for the same battle, to restore America to her vitality and to her promise, sir.

00:35:59.200 Amen.

00:35:59.640 Yes, to restore our prosperity, our sovereignty, and our vitality as a nation.

00:36:04.800 And by the way, to that point you made, too, about President Trump whipping votes in the middle of the night, what a wonderful contrast to sleepy Joe Biden.

00:36:12.080 He was whipping votes in the middle of the night, and he posted this morning that he is right as we speak on the phone with Vladimir Putin trying to solve the crisis in Ukraine.

00:36:21.720 So that is the kind of workhorse that President Trump is working on behalf of the American people, not taking holiday yet for July 4th, constantly working.

00:36:29.760 And to your point here about these judicial tyrants, right, these unelected despots in black robes who think that they can thwart the will of the American people who elected Donald Trump by winning every single swing state, plus the popular vote by millions of votes, they must be repelled.

00:36:47.000 The Supreme Court thankfully started that process, but we've got to hasten that process.

00:36:50.900 And you're exactly correct, not just because it's illogical and there's no precedent for it in legality, but because it's also a national security and economic imperative to get control of the sovereignty of the United States and to make sure that these illegal workers are expelled.

00:37:06.060 Because as we're talking about, AI, huge positives and negatives.

00:37:10.500 The positive is the productivity gains can be magnificent.

00:37:13.700 And there's every reason to believe that they will be and that this bill's bet on growth will work, at least in part, maybe large part, because of AI.

00:37:23.920 But at the same time, we know already, at least in the early stages, AI is very destructive to certain classes of jobs.

00:37:30.460 And because of that, it is more important than ever that the labor market of the United States is reserved for American citizens only. 0.87

00:37:37.980 All of the illegals have to go, and I would also argue further, even the legal foreign workers have to start to go, because this job market must be reserved for the people of this country who are going to be celebrating our birthday tomorrow and getting into our glorious 250th year. 0.99

00:37:53.680 So there are real tangible reasons to be incredibly optimistic, but to your point, Steve, also really significant obstacles in front of us.

00:38:02.260 Because the globalists and the ruling class of this country, they're not going to just hand us the keys of the car.

00:38:07.240 They're not going to say, oh, congratulations, nice election last November.

00:38:10.160 Here you go, have at it.

00:38:11.160 That is clearly not happening.

00:38:12.840 Remember, they tried to put Donald Trump in prison.

00:38:15.120 They're willing to go to any means to try to keep their stranglehold among the American people and upon the American economy for their self-aggrandizement to the detriment of the masses of American peoples.

00:38:26.540 We have a very different vision, and we have a clear policy pathway, a realistic, achievable policy pathway to get there.

00:38:34.280 Again, real wages are exploding right now.

00:38:37.040 That's magnificent news for this country.

00:38:39.080 We can continue that, and we can accelerate that, but we've got to make the right policy choices, and immigration is an absolute linchpin of that policy agenda, Steve.

00:38:50.700 President Trump's on the phone with Putin this morning.

00:38:53.280 Why is he on the phone with Putin?

00:38:54.420 He's trying to end the kinetic part, and this is for all the Israel Firsts and the Tel Aviv Levins and that entire crowd.

00:39:01.060 The Third World War has started.

00:39:02.900 It started a couple of years ago.

00:39:03.880 The kinetic part of it.

00:39:05.240 The Third World War actually started before that with the Chinese Communist Party coming after us starting in 2019 because they understood the economy President Trump was building.

00:39:14.620 They did the Lighthizer deal that we took two years to negotiate.

00:39:17.780 They ripped up in our face and spit in our face and then declared an economic war against us.

00:39:22.380 The kinetic part has started.

00:39:23.620 There are two million casualties in Ukraine.

00:39:26.120 There's a million dead and wounded Russian soldiers, and there's a million dead and wounded not just Ukrainian soldiers but a ton of civilians.

00:39:34.180 And the numbers you hear publicly are always suppressed, as they were in any war.

00:39:40.100 President Trump is trying to stop that.

00:39:42.020 The major front though, and he understands that, of this war was the invasion of the United States of America.

00:39:48.520 And, folks, if you think because of the activity we did in L.A. a couple weeks ago, it's over.

00:39:54.100 You are so wrong.

00:39:55.520 Chicago we haven't been to.

00:39:56.860 New York, you're about to have a radical jihadist, a radical jihadist and a communist, not a socialist, a radical – the Red-Green Alliance in all its glory is about to win in New York City and take control politically with the DSA, the Democratic Socialists of America, and the Working Families Party, which controlled the ground game there.

00:40:16.520 Those folks on the ground game are every bit as good as the war room posse and the precinct strategy.

00:40:23.220 And the precinct strategy, the war room posse and other groups like that on the ground game won the 2024 election for President Trump.

00:40:31.300 That was President Trump's ground game.

00:40:33.020 That was his army.

00:40:33.960 That's what he won with, his most dedicated people.

00:40:36.300 Well, they got him up there.

00:40:37.240 This thing, the front that we fight here, and it's against a radical judiciary.

00:40:41.580 This is not stopping, and it's who quits first is going to lose.

00:40:47.820 We're not going to quit.

00:40:48.680 This is going to be relentless, and we're going to do through economic policy, political – I actually think because there's a report out today how the Chinese Communist Party are doubling down on the fentanyl and the chemical warfare attack through the Mexican cartels that take 50,000 people a year.

00:41:05.980 And look, it's terrible that the Persians have killed 1,000 Americans since I was there in 1979 off the shore on the failed hostage rescue attempt, including the Marines and the barracks in Lebanon, which is terrible.

00:41:19.740 But they're killing 50,000 a year of our folks today, and it ain't abating.

00:41:24.380 And so if you're going to do an attack, if we want to have a regime change, having a regime change in Mexico, which is a narco state, starting with the cartels, I'm all down.

00:41:35.720 If you want to have a regime change, hey, let's go south of the border and start with – if the Mexican government won't clean it up, we clean it up.

00:41:42.880 Cortez, my point is this is a multi-pronged issue, and it's got to be a – we've got a couple of minutes.

00:41:49.220 Your thoughts?

00:41:50.160 You're making such a great point here, and again, this is a seamless garment, right?

00:41:53.940 All of these issues are intertwined.

00:41:55.900 So President Trump working diligently to try to solve this crisis in the Black Sea, which is not in the vital U.S. national security interest.

00:42:03.320 However, we've spent hundreds of billions of dollars there.

00:42:05.440 So if Donald Trump can reach a solution there, and we'll see if Zelensky and Putin are willing – so far, they don't seem like it.

00:42:11.260 But if they are, that will be so massive, not just because we've achieved peace there, which is a great thing for both of those countries and for humanity,

00:42:18.260 but in terms of back to the United States and back to our domestic situation and politics and economics,

00:42:23.180 it means that we then take those resources and that attention, and we focus it on the invasion at our border, right?

00:42:29.400 And we can become even more secure and even more sovereign over our country, which means, in turn, that if we're going to have this productivity explosion,

00:42:38.240 which seems to be beckoning in this country, that the benefits will flow to American citizens and not to foreign illegals 0.89

00:42:44.380 and not even to foreign legal people who are working in the United States.

00:42:48.220 But it is all linked.

00:42:49.800 So achieving peace, for example, in the Black Sea has such benefits on Main Street USA to a lot of folks who may not pay any attention

00:42:56.620 to what's going on in other parts of the world, but they sure know what's going on in their life.

00:43:01.060 They know right now that gas prices are the lowest they have been in years.

00:43:05.040 They know their wages are finally starting to go up.

00:43:07.400 But they also know that after the pain of Bidenomics, that they're in a corner economically, and they need help, working-class people.

00:43:13.760 And we on the right must speak to that, we must recognize it, and then bring about tangible policies which improve their lives.

00:43:22.300 And the best part by far of this big bill, the best part by a mile, is immigration enforcement.

00:43:28.440 And the fact that ICE is now going to be better funded and more powerful than some of the armies of Western Europe.

00:43:34.580 I mean, think about that, Steve.

00:43:35.700 That is a significant sea change.

00:43:38.880 It's what the people voted for last November, and they're going to get it.

00:44:54.780 So, on social, please follow me on the Twitter X.

00:44:56.540 I'm at Cortez Steve, Cortez with an S at the end.

00:44:59.360 For all of my content, including the documentaries, including the wind scam, which is my most-seen documentary ever.

00:45:04.720 Thankfully, this bill addresses Biden's wind scam.

00:45:07.200 Go to cortesinvestigates.com.

00:45:09.740 Thank you so much, Steve.

00:45:10.640 Happy fourth.

00:45:13.460 Thank you, sir.

00:45:14.380 I want to make sure everybody goes and check out the wind scam.

00:45:16.420 You see what President Trump is trying to stop, the Green News deal scam.

00:45:22.600 Unbelievable.

00:45:23.320 Unbelievable.

00:45:24.460 We heard yesterday you got Nick on here, Ayakola, to talk about the Chinese government part of that, how we're under – still we're underwriting part of the CCP.

00:45:35.000 President Trump this morning – so let's connect some dots.

00:45:37.840 President Trump this morning after working at 2.30 in the morning, and he was cutting deals.

00:45:42.200 I think you're going to see a much more aggressive profile on rescissions or pocket rescissions.

00:45:51.480 Remember, I don't think we still passed rescission, the $9.3 billion for Marjorie Taylor Greene's PBS NPR.

00:46:00.100 Also another $7 trillion or $7.3 trillion for other various programs that have been identified for cutting, for zeroing out.

00:46:10.520 USAID officially, I think, got zeroed out to the legal minimum.

00:46:15.520 Lara Logan – Lara Logan's going to be on in the next block, the next segment, to talk about that, about what that was funding and how insidious it was.

00:46:23.720 Also, E.J. Antony is going to join us in the second hour.

00:46:27.080 We're going to go back through this math because this is kind of the foundational element, this labor report, and how the economy is doing right now with the kind of tweaks that President Trump has made or tried to make through executive order and executive action prior to the implementation – passage, implementation, and execution of the big, beautiful bill and all the different aspects of it.

00:46:48.520 President Trump, we have right now – I think this is all totally unofficial, I think, as I look to my crack staff here.

00:46:55.020 President Trump, I think the White House is saying they may sign the bill at 5 p.m. tomorrow, of course, Real America's Voice, the War Room.

00:47:03.220 We will be there when this historic piece of legislation is signed by President Trump.

00:47:08.120 This will be – I think it's safe to say, at least between now and the midterm, his signature piece of legislation.

00:47:14.700 It may be the signature piece of legislation for his entire second term.

00:47:18.520 When he passed the first tax cut that people that left so criticized, we went on a tear of growth about 2.8 percent.

00:47:27.620 That was the average over his time, and that's why – and it started to peak in the – I should say not even peak, but go to a next stage, really converging in 2019 in the fourth quarter where it hit 3.4 percent growth.

00:47:42.160 With low inflation, low interest rates, I mean it was kind of nirvana.

00:47:47.420 It's what you very rarely get in an economy, plus wages increasing for blue-collar people, for high school graduates versus college graduates, working class and middle-class America.

00:47:56.840 And then the pandemic hit from Wuhan.

00:48:01.560 Those are not random events.

00:48:03.320 Believe me, that's not random events, and now everybody's coming out.

00:48:05.780 Oh, it came out of the Wuhan lab. 0.78

00:48:07.020 It was leaked out there.

00:48:07.720 Things that the War Room said on, I don't know, the 20th of January, the 23rd of January of 2020 in the very opening days when, as you remember, if you're a long-time viewers or listeners, we shifted War Room Impeachment.

00:48:24.260 We took an hour starting, I think, on the 20th and turned that over to War Room Pandemic.

00:48:30.220 Eventually, I think a week later, right if the impeachment was done, a week or two later, 10 days later, we turned the entire show over to War Room Pandemic.

00:48:37.620 And people were telling me, well, is this crazy?

00:48:38.940 I said no.

00:48:39.980 We may find out various things about what this flu is, but this is going to have massive global impact, which it has.

00:48:47.560 In fact, today, we're still just coming out of the economic – the trillions of dollars, the Keynesian stimulus, of which the first one under President Trump was very smart.

00:48:56.360 He kind of bridged that gap, you remember we talked about, of the drop in aggregate demand.

00:49:01.660 He bridged that gap so brilliantly.

00:49:03.800 It was the second one that Biden did that was unnecessary.

00:49:06.820 As we said at the time, it's going to cause inflation.

00:49:09.620 People – the only other person I think saying that was Larry Summers.

00:49:13.000 We had Peter Navarro and others.

00:49:14.820 We would hammer it every day with Russ Vogt, remember, in 2021, eventually Scott Besson.

00:49:19.860 We hammered it.

00:49:20.140 Hey, it's going to cause – it was Cortez and Navarro and Vogt, E.J. and Tony, others sitting there going, hey, it's going to cause inflation.

00:49:28.460 Oh, no, mocked and ridiculed.

00:49:30.160 That turned out not to be the case, and that was the pivot point.

00:49:32.620 That was one of the major elements of President Trump's win in 2024.

00:49:37.180 The deeper reality is that the countries at stake here, more than just culturally, more than economically, more than politically, more than militarily, all of it, the whole thing, what we call the United States of America, our sovereignty.

00:49:53.140 And you see it – you see it every day.

00:49:55.660 Remember, talk about the globalists and talk about the established order.

00:49:59.840 President Trump, for all this work, everything he did, all the hammering, right, all the hammering he did – and by the way, Hakeem Jeffries, I love it.

00:50:08.620 He's still there in his, what, fifth or sixth hour now?

00:50:12.280 I want to check this out.

00:50:15.040 He's probably going to sixth.

00:50:16.140 He's going to stay there for a while, trying to back this thing up all day and get their free platform.

00:50:19.740 I would cut into – for you to hear more of it, but I know your head would blow up because it's just more there.

00:50:26.180 You get the point after the first two or three minutes, and then they just reiterate it to take up air.

00:50:32.620 This is a fight.

00:50:33.640 This is a fight to the knife.

00:50:36.820 This is for your country, and you can see it everywhere.

00:50:39.180 You can see it in these major sanctuary cities.

00:50:40.940 You can see it on what happened in the Senate.

00:50:43.180 With all of President Trump's – with the victory, with people backing MAGA, with people saying they are MAGA, with everything, we didn't really pass it in the Senate.

00:50:52.900 We had to bring the vice president in and technically get the 51st vote. 0.66

00:50:56.780 That's how tough it is for President Trump with all the deals he tried to cut there.

00:51:00.640 Then in the House last night, President Trump at 2.30 in the morning is still whipping votes, still whipping votes.

00:51:07.400 And I think some of the commitments that have been made are smart commitments.

00:51:11.580 Actually, what I would say and have advised the president, just impound the money.

00:51:17.180 They're going to – you do the rescissions, they're going to take you to court anyway.

00:51:20.140 Let's just go up to the top.

00:51:21.300 You can do the rescissions or pocket rescissions.

00:51:23.900 I know Russ has an amazing theory of that.

00:51:27.820 I'm saying let's just cut to it.

00:51:29.000 You see what President Trump on the – the Supreme Court backs him on his Article II powers.

00:51:35.880 And a federal judge comes out immediately, immediately, immediately and challenges that.

00:51:40.360 And gives the amnesty, the illegal alien invaders, class status. 0.83

00:51:45.660 They're just in your grill and they're going to be in your grill.

00:51:48.540 I've said this over and over again.

00:51:50.100 It's not going to stop until we make it stop.

00:51:52.940 It will never stop.

00:51:55.020 They're relentless.

00:51:56.540 Why?

00:51:57.660 We're fighting for control of the greatest country in the history of the world, in the history of mankind.

00:52:03.260 Here, the United States of America, you, that have had such an amazing part of it and changed the arc of history because of what?

00:52:11.180 Because of your support for President Trump and the MAGA movement.

00:52:15.860 You've changed the arc of history.

00:52:17.880 Is this the end of history?

00:52:19.260 Oh, no.

00:52:19.860 Au contraire.

00:52:21.240 You're not Francis Fukuyama.

00:52:23.240 You're more mature than that.

00:52:24.180 You've got more grit than that.

00:52:25.100 You've got more common sense than that.

00:52:26.240 You have more life experience.

00:52:27.620 Your lived experience shows it ain't over until it's over.

00:52:32.500 Short break.

00:52:33.340 Back in the warm in a moment.

00:52:34.300 You have more income.

00:52:51.920 You have more income.

00:52:54.500 Nope.

00:52:55.240 You have more income.

00:52:57.500 Right?
