Summary

The government is shut down across the United States as a result of the ongoing impasse between President Trump and congressional Democrats over funding for the government. On this episode of the podcast, we discuss the impact of the shutdown and what it means for the future of law enforcement.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 Today, Trump said he would be meeting with Vogt to discuss which of the so-called Democrat agencies to cut from while the government is shut down.
00:00:07.660 As the co-author of Project 2025, Vogt has been wanting to reshape the federal government for years,
00:00:13.900 literally laying out the steps to achieve the long-sought conservative goal of a president with dramatically expanded authority over the executive branch,
00:00:22.520 including the power to cut off spending, fire employees, control independent agencies, and deregulate the economy.
00:00:28.880 And thanks to the president's shutdown, he and Vogt are working overtime to that exact goal.
00:00:34.640 As the New York Times reports to many legal experts, Mr. Vogt's work is a threat to the foundations of democracy.
00:00:40.660 One of the main sources of power that Congress has over the executive branch is the budget, said Eloise Paskachev, the law professor at Georgetown University.
00:00:48.840 If the executive branch isn't controlled by the power of the purse, then there is very little that will control the president.
00:00:54.980 The president literally turning on American citizens, calling them the enemies within.
00:00:59.420 It reminds me of during the Wilson administration, during World War I, where dissent was criminalized, where it wasn't violence that was the concern from the Wilson administration.
00:01:08.280 It was people who were speaking out against the president.
00:01:11.060 During that time, journalists were jailed.
00:01:14.200 Newspapers were threatened and shut down.
00:01:17.140 activists who were speaking out against the war were put into jail for long periods of time.
00:01:24.980 One gentleman served 10 years.
00:01:26.560 And the whole thing was about looking for the enemies within this country.
00:01:32.520 It sounds very similar to what the president of the United States not just says he wants to do, but is attempting to operationalize.
00:01:42.460 And I just, I want to shake people, Tim, because it's like, oh, baby, it might not be, it might not be maybe about to happen.
00:01:50.300 We are living it.
00:01:51.840 And so folks have to be aware.
00:01:54.140 But am I just, am I being dramatic?
00:01:56.160 We want to dismantle, the phrase that Steve Bannon always uses, dismantle the administrative state.
00:02:00.740 Like, that's what they're there to do.
00:02:01.940 That's what Doge was, and that's what Russell Vote is there to do.
00:02:04.820 And I think the only difference this time is that they're trying to blame the Democrats for it, to do what they already wanted.
00:02:10.260 You know, we were, I'm not as good a reporter as Vaughn, so I didn't write the quote down.
00:02:13.760 But Caroline Leavitt this morning was out there and essentially said something to the effect of, like, the pain is going to continue until the Democrats, you know, have an agreement with us.
00:02:22.820 Do you want to listen to the sound?
00:02:24.100 Yeah.
00:02:25.580 Let's play Caroline Leavitt.
00:02:30.040 Look, it's likely going to be in the thousands.
00:02:31.900 It's a very good question, and that's something that the Office of Management and Budget and the entire team at the White House here, again, is unfortunately having to work on today.
00:02:40.340 These discussions and these conversations, these meetings would not be happening if the Democrats had voted to keep the government open.
00:02:46.840 Yeah, and she goes on from that.
00:02:48.740 The point with that quote is it's crazy.
00:02:51.120 They're just basically like, look, there's going to be pain.
00:02:54.240 We're happy about the pain, kind of, and it's the Democrats' fault.
00:02:56.640 If they want to stop the pain, they have to come to the table.
00:02:58.680 They're just admitting, like, the White House is just admitting people are suffering.
00:03:01.900 They're hurting because of this, but they don't care.
00:03:05.080 I guess you've got to give them credit for the brazenness and for being candid.
00:03:09.860 But, like, that's their position right now on this shutdown.
00:03:12.780 They want to cut these jobs, and they don't really care if people are going to be harmed by it.
00:03:17.360 Yeah, I think Stephen Miller is an unhinged nerd.
00:03:20.600 And I would venture to say that most law enforcement officers in this country don't take him seriously.
00:03:27.640 And I want to say that saying things like that, while it is incendiary and it's disgusting and it's disgraceful,
00:03:35.440 you know, the policies and procedures that exist in American law enforcement agencies across this country at the state and local level
00:03:43.280 are so ingrained in their officers that listening to, you know, a propaganda speech by Stephen Miller
00:03:50.300 is not going to change the way that those officers, for the most part, conduct their business.
00:03:56.580 What I do worry about is that this is an advertisement or a promotional video for new hires,
00:04:03.600 people that are coming into the career of law enforcement under this administration,
00:04:07.760 who see the brutality, who see the state-sponsored violence, and are attracted to that,
00:04:14.420 and hear things like, you are, you know, take the gloves off, when they spit, we hit, and, you know, you are unleashed.
00:04:26.260 That's what concerns me is the future of law enforcement in this country and what, you know, who is going to be attracted to that profession.
00:04:34.700 This is clearly unconstitutional, but there's a larger white supremacy issue that's at play here
00:04:39.780 that gets lost in these constitutional details.
00:04:42.280 We used to think a lot, I remember talking with you about constitutional crisis, when is that going to happen?
00:04:47.420 But we're actually dealing with a constitutional capitulation with this Supreme Court.
00:04:51.920 They're allowing these completely racist, unconstitutional practices to be able to move forward.
00:04:58.020 We wrote about this at this time because it was just a falsehood.
00:05:00.440 Literally in August of 2022, he went down to Florida and spoke at a Heritage Foundation event
00:05:05.300 and said, you guys are going to be the ones writing the conservative foundation for a second Trump administration.
00:05:10.340 Those were the words of Donald Trump.
00:05:11.440 And then he, the Heritage Foundation, along with the Center for Renewing America, which is the Russ Vote-started group,
00:05:18.660 who he worked at that organization, we should note, with Jeffrey Clark, who, as folks may remember,
00:05:22.980 was the co-defendant of Donald Trump in the effort to overturn the 2020 election.
00:05:27.160 Those two were working at that organization with others to build Project 2025.
00:05:32.140 And it was him that wrote down that, quote,
00:05:34.460 many agencies are not only too big and powerful, but also increasingly weaponized against the public.
00:05:38.960 And I think that Simone was making this point very, very clearly, that this is the moment that these guys have been working toward, to have the power.
00:05:48.380 I don't know how concerned they are about the midterm elections of November of 2026,
00:05:53.960 because this is the moment that this conservative movement, the MAGA movement,
00:05:58.140 led by people like Russ Vote and the Heritage Foundation, have been waiting for.
00:06:01.840 They got their majorities in the House and the Senate.
00:06:04.020 They got their man in the White House.
00:06:05.680 They got their OMB director, Russ Vote, who is willing to challenge legally what is constitutionally stipulated,
00:06:13.260 that it's Congress that controls the power of the purse.
00:06:16.560 They found their moment, and they're going to do whatever it takes.
00:06:19.840 Really, sort of, consequences be damned here, because this is the moment that they can change the American government
00:06:25.080 for the way that they believe it should be run.
00:06:26.720 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:06:34.180 Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.
00:06:39.420 You're just not going to free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
00:06:43.680 The people have had a belly full of it.
00:06:45.600 I know you don't like hearing that.
00:06:47.020 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
00:06:49.720 It's going to happen.
00:06:50.760 And where do people like that go to share the big line?
00:06:54.380 MAGA Media.
00:06:55.720 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:07:01.140 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:07:04.920 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:07:11.220 War Room.
00:07:12.120 Here's your host, Stephen K. Band.
00:07:14.440 Friday 3, October, in the year of the Lord, 2025.
00:07:25.360 If you remember those years in the wilderness, the years of 21, 22, 23,
00:07:31.240 when we would have Russ Fode or Mark Paoletta or Jeff Clark on the show,
00:07:36.680 Mike Davis, the Vice Rory,
00:07:39.080 when the building blocks of Project 2025 were being put together,
00:07:43.060 it was discussed about the Article II powers inherited in the presidency.
00:07:50.260 Remember, the whole theory of the case is that he has these powers as chief executive officer
00:07:56.780 of the United States government, and that includes firing people
00:08:00.080 and includes also impounding money, rescinding money.
00:08:05.300 Number two, as commander-in-chief, he has tremendous powers,
00:08:09.460 untapped powers as commander-in-chief to impel invasions and to protect the national security
00:08:17.360 of the United States of America, her sovereignty, her territorial integrity,
00:08:22.580 and the citizens thereof.
00:08:25.480 And then last but not least, of course, what has been kind of hived off since Watergate
00:08:30.600 and the great Jeff Shepard's analysis of Watergate being really the first instance of lawfare
00:08:36.180 to drive Nixon from office and having the rhino Republicans basically fold
00:08:41.320 and allow him to be driven from office with lawfare is that the president of the United States
00:08:47.140 is the chief law enforcement officer and the chief magistrate of the United States government.
00:08:51.300 This is what we've talked about, these Article II powers, or the theory of the unified executive,
00:08:58.980 the unified executive theory.
00:09:00.940 Now you've had also Russ Vogt, all this, the work and analysis on deconstructing
00:09:08.380 the administrative state over years, embodying a Project 2025, which is 900 pages long,
00:09:14.000 and we've gone through and gone through elements of it many, many times.
00:09:18.100 In the process of events, let's call it history, you have teachable moments,
00:09:25.720 and then you have something called a leverageable moment.
00:09:29.280 This is not a teaching moment.
00:09:30.960 This is a leverageable moment.
00:09:32.460 This is where everything concentrates of years and years of work,
00:09:36.100 and you have an actual moment that you can do things that can't be reversed.
00:09:46.020 It can have a long-term impact.
00:09:47.800 Remember, conservatives, and the reason we don't call it conservatives is that they've been so feckless
00:09:53.120 and hapless at actually making things happen.
00:09:55.580 For years and years and years, you've heard nothing, and you've supported, and you've given money,
00:09:59.820 and you've worked, you've knocked on doors of people that wanted to limit government
00:10:03.400 and said government's too big and government's a leviathan.
00:10:06.580 Yet in every Republican administration, it just gets bigger and bigger and bigger,
00:10:10.460 and now we're in a crisis where you're having $2 trillion deficits every year,
00:10:14.680 and the reason is you're spending $7 to $7.5 trillion,
00:10:18.000 and you're taking in $5 trillion, $5.5 trillion, maybe more because of tariffs now.
00:10:23.740 But there's a gap.
00:10:25.620 The way to do this is you've got to take leviathan apart.
00:10:29.440 Two ways you take it apart is programmatically, right?
00:10:32.320 Programmatically by stopping programs in the Pentagon or stopping programs on social welfare
00:10:37.920 or stopping programs in corporate welfare that actually drive the cost down, but also personnel.
00:10:44.220 And one thing you know about personnel is not just the direct cost of personnel,
00:10:47.620 what you're paying them in their retirement and all that,
00:10:49.640 but it's also the cost associated with them just doing more things, right,
00:10:55.520 which is what we don't want.
00:10:57.300 The MAGA movement are not anarchists.
00:11:00.160 We're not extreme libertarians.
00:11:02.300 We know there needs to be some aspect or part of an apparatus of regulatory state,
00:11:06.800 particularly in things like antitrust to kind of stave off a growing concentration
00:11:12.400 of corporate and government power.
00:11:14.900 But at the end of the day, it's about the deconstruction of the administrative state
00:11:18.880 and getting at everybody's business and basically thwarting your ability to thrive and have freedom.
00:11:25.980 Simone there used the example of President Wilson in World War I.
00:11:32.140 It's a great example, but Simone, you're making our point.
00:11:36.180 President Wilson was a globalist, lied to the American people about getting into World War I,
00:11:40.360 about what his intentions were, and then didn't want to brook any dissension.
00:11:43.840 Didn't want to brook any dissension from people who kind of were the beginning of the American First Movement.
00:11:48.360 So, well, hang on.
00:11:49.580 Why are we sending troops over to basically save these monarchies?
00:11:55.080 Why are we getting involved in European wars?
00:11:57.940 Many of the arguments today about Ukraine, about why we shouldn't have zero to do with Ukraine,
00:12:02.820 the people in the streets were trying to make those comments.
00:12:06.460 And, of course, the beginning of the jackbooted administrative state was under Woodrow Wilson,
00:12:11.960 the most progressive president, I think, even more progressive in some aspects than FDR.
00:12:17.580 So, Simone, thank you for making the point, but you're making our point, okay?
00:12:21.480 There's two great pieces today that talk about what this is really about, what this whole effort,
00:12:28.920 because on TV and on the fight, you're just hearing, oh, it's on this and this.
00:12:32.840 No.
00:12:33.000 This is no doubt a concentration of power in the executive.
00:12:38.720 This is one of the things we've been working for.
00:12:40.120 This is one of the things we've been pushing the envelope for.
00:12:42.660 And Axios has done an amazing job of kind of putting that together of everything that President Trump's been working on,
00:12:48.460 everything we've been talking about on the show for the last couple of months in that.
00:12:53.560 And so Mark Caputo is going to join us after the break to walk us through that.
00:12:57.980 And remember, Axios is kind of the conventional wisdom of Washington, D.C.
00:13:02.020 If you go to Axios, you're kind of seeing the inside brain of how the apparatus thinks.
00:13:07.080 And they're saying, whoa, look at this.
00:13:09.400 This is what it's really about, that President Trump is concentrating power more than any president in the history of the United States.
00:13:16.840 And he's doing it systematically.
00:13:18.520 It's not just about personnel, but he's actually getting to the heart of the beast.
00:13:21.660 And remember, if we are able to pull this off now in this moment, this leverageable moment, it can't be reversed.
00:13:30.260 It's going to be very tough to be reversed.
00:13:32.040 The smart people in Washington, D.C. know that.
00:13:34.440 And they know the Democrats walked into a tremendous trap.
00:13:37.980 The feckless, hapless Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer have essentially walked into it.
00:13:43.240 And now it's time to close the trap.
00:13:45.780 Alex de Gras has got an amazing analysis that someone's put up about the real cost of the illegal.
00:13:50.780 And there's not about illegal alien Medicare.
00:13:53.400 It's not about illegal paying for their thing.
00:13:55.760 It absolutely is.
00:13:57.960 This is what they decided to shut the government down.
00:14:00.880 We're going to show you some startling math that cuts the legs out from the Democrats, the radicals.
00:14:06.620 It is a unique moment in history that years and years and years in the making, a lot of people talked about it.
00:14:14.140 This is why Russ Vogt and the team at CRA that led up to this and Dr. Kevin Roberts and the team at Heritage and Stephen Miller's group and Brooks Rollins' group and Mark Meadows and Senator DeMint, CPI, all of these groups working in the years in the wilderness to put this plan together,
00:14:32.560 to understand that Trump could win the primary, come back and win the presidency, and then execute on this uniquely in American history.
00:14:43.000 Days of Thunder are with us, ladies and gentlemen.
00:14:45.900 And we're going to walk through how Washington, D.C. looks at it and then some of the math and back of everything.
00:14:52.540 Short commercial break.
00:14:53.640 We're going to be back with Mark Caputo of Axios in just a moment.
00:14:56.320 This July, there is a global summit of BRICS nations in Rio de Janeiro, the bloc of emerging superpowers, including China, Russia, India, and Persia,
00:15:10.460 are meeting with the goal of displacing the United States dollar as the global currency.
00:15:15.600 They're calling this the Rio Reset.
00:15:18.840 As BRICS nations push forward with their plans, global demand for U.S. dollars will decrease,
00:15:23.420 bringing down the value of the dollar in your savings.
00:15:27.020 While this transition won't not happen overnight, but trust me, it's going to start in Rio.
00:15:33.420 The Rio Reset in July marks a pivotal moment when BRICS objectives move decisively from a theoretical possibility towards an inevitable reality.

00:17:00.900 So beyond.
00:17:01.940 Beyond.
00:17:03.160 Russ Votes talked about is overtaking the government.
00:17:06.700 and using it for partisan political purposes against our current laws and against the
00:17:14.380 Constitution.
00:17:15.420 That's what's been happening as they slash federal agencies, as they fire workers.
00:17:20.440 You know, they've already fired 150,000 federal workers, right?
00:17:23.460 At least.
00:17:24.520 Probably more than that.
00:17:25.800 So they're using the shutdown and they're continuing to implement Project 2025.
00:17:32.100 And we just have to keep lifting up.
00:17:33.720 This was Donald Trump's plan all along.
00:17:35.660 Not to lower costs and make health care affordable for you, but to actually take over the government
00:17:41.940 and become king.
00:17:42.900 I want to, I want to become king.
00:17:46.920 I want to, didn't the two kings thing already flop?
00:17:50.340 I want to thank, uh, producer Cameron here, uh, the exquisite cold opening today, curated from
00:17:56.340 hours of the, of the, of the, uh, the left in MSME, CNN, throwing their toys out of the
00:18:03.700 pram.
00:18:04.000 It's a total and complete meltdown.
00:18:06.160 You know why they understand they have no leverage.
00:18:08.480 The democratic party's in total disarray.
00:18:10.780 They've walked into a trap and Russ vote.
00:18:12.820 Who's been working on this for years and has a very detailed plan.
00:18:15.680 Now is the hour of action to pull a line from the first inaugural address of President Trump.
00:18:22.840 I want to bring in, um, Mark Caputo, a White House correspondent over at Axios.
00:18:28.060 Hey, Mark, um, Zachary was a best suit, has done an amazing job.
00:18:32.500 If we can put this out and if Grace and Moe can make sure we push this, every War Room
00:18:36.440 Posse member ought to read this today and then share it.
00:18:39.200 The headline is Trump charts path to total control amid government shutdown.
00:18:45.420 It's about Zachary Basu, who's a very, very smart guy.
00:18:48.820 And it literally is a consolidation of what we talked about on the show for months and
00:18:53.620 months and months.
00:18:54.120 Can you walk through it?
00:18:55.120 You're, you're, uh, a very astute observer of all things, President Trump, and particularly
00:19:00.860 how the second term is rolling out.
00:19:02.540 The first question I got for you is how did the Democrats in March, Schumer, Schumer warned
00:19:09.860 that this was going to happen in March.
00:19:12.720 He understood the time and he told these guys, Hey, if you allow, uh, if you allow them to
00:19:17.620 shut down, if we shut down the government, don't give them 60 votes, uh, vote and Trump
00:19:22.800 and the rest of that group are going to go through and start taking this thing apart.
00:19:26.860 And we're going to have no leverage to stop it.
00:19:28.960 At that time, he got 10, he got the 10 votes for the son of the seven or eight votes they
00:19:32.880 needed.
00:19:33.280 And he got eviscerated by the democratic party.
00:19:36.660 Why didn't they, why didn't they heed the warning of Chuck Schumer that this was the trap
00:19:41.100 that was set for them, sir?
00:19:43.900 The, I think part of it is the Democrats are looking at their poll numbers and in the generic
00:19:50.560 question of the approval ratings for Democrats versus Trump versus Republicans, Democrats are
00:19:57.020 doing awful and that's in part because the Democrats own voters think they're doing badly.
00:20:04.180 And I'm interpreting this now that a lot of Democrat based voters think that the democratic
00:20:10.560 leaders are weak and they hate Trump so much.
00:20:13.720 And they hate to see Trump put points on the board and score W's and brag and strut that
00:20:19.180 they want their politicians to fight him.
00:20:22.900 They just want them to fight.
00:20:24.160 I think another part of it is that they're online a lot of, you know, all of us are and
00:20:29.280 that elevates the voices who just want to see a fight.
00:20:33.480 And so it sort of, I know you like classical references.
00:20:36.880 This sort of reminds me of what the Spartan wives used to tell their husbands, come home
00:20:41.840 with your shields or upon them.
00:20:43.740 That is either be victorious or die in battle.
00:20:46.560 I think we're going to have some deaths in battle here because from my reporting and
00:20:51.680 maybe I'm wrong and maybe I'm being misled, Donald Trump and his administration feel pretty
00:20:56.720 good about where they are.
00:20:58.400 And their feeling is, well, we're Republicans.
00:21:01.960 We want to cut government.
00:21:03.200 We want to cut federal workers.
00:21:04.820 We want to reduce the size of it to quote Grover Norquist from a long time ago talking about
00:21:10.280 he wanted to reduce government so that he could strangle it in a bathtub.
00:21:13.700 Uh, and that's starting to happen now.
00:21:17.600 And now this is avoidable, at least in the short term, if eventually enough Democrats come
00:21:23.660 around and say, okay, uncle, but Trump is going to probably, and I don't want to speak for him
00:21:31.280 because, you know, he does stuff that sometimes defies our predictions.
00:21:36.760 He's going to make them cry uncle.
00:21:38.220 He's going to want to do that.
00:21:39.240 And I think the challenge for Trump is he doesn't want to look like he's enjoying it
00:21:43.900 too much.
00:21:47.860 Mark, uh, two things.
00:21:49.440 Mike, uh, Mike Davis, the vice-rory, very close advisor to President Trump on the outside,
00:21:54.520 article three project, this theory of the art of three, art of three project, but in talking
00:21:59.620 about article two in the article three project saying, Hey, uh, the expanded powers of article
00:22:05.520 two, and, you know, take everything to its maximalist and logical conclusion.
00:22:09.740 Concurrently, you have a very close colleague of his, Russ voted CRA for years that puts this
00:22:14.800 framework together of actually how you implement the D the theory of deconstruct the administrative
00:22:19.480 state.
00:22:20.500 Now you're at a point, and this is why Zachary's and everybody in this audience should read this
00:22:25.640 and share it with their colleagues because he walks through virtually every aspect of
00:22:32.240 government of how president Trump is actually consolidating that power.
00:22:37.440 And I agree with it.
00:22:38.160 The total power in inherent in the constitution under article two, um, where do you think this
00:22:44.940 goes?
00:22:45.400 I mean, the Democrats, this is why, how can they basically concede here by saying, well,
00:22:52.140 let's unshut down the government.
00:22:54.000 Isn't this now, like I said, this is not a teachable moment.
00:22:57.680 This is a leverageable moment.
00:22:59.400 This is something that's been worked on for decades or talked about for decades by conservatives,
00:23:03.080 but actually practically worked on in detail since president Trump was, uh, was driven from
00:23:09.480 office in 2021.
00:23:10.340 So the logic here, if you continue on is not simply a massive Trump victory, a massive MAGA
00:23:16.700 victory.
00:23:17.240 It is irreversible what you can do to the federal government, sir.
00:23:22.140 I mean, it's irreversible on the current trajectory, but trajectories change, you know, not to
00:23:28.220 be too heady about it and to sort of zoom out, as we like to say in Axios, Congress is
00:23:33.780 the superior branch of government.
00:23:35.080 It's the only branch of government that can pass law, pass bills, have they become law,
00:23:40.320 impeach a president.
00:23:41.640 They appropriate, they can tax, they declare war.
00:23:45.100 They do all of these things.
00:23:47.080 However, Congress is doing sort of none of those things.
00:23:50.720 And in the absence of it exerting the power that the framers had imagined with the American
00:23:58.760 governmental system, it creates a power vacuum because power exists.
00:24:04.560 And so you have the executive and the judicial branches that would fill this vacuum.
00:24:11.400 The thing is, is the Roberts court is increasingly saying, hey, if you look at Article 3, there's
00:24:19.060 not a lot of enumerated powers there for the Supreme Court.
00:24:22.640 And there are a lot of enumerated powers for the executive branch.
00:24:27.120 So the Roberts court is essentially devolving the power that had been created since the Warren
00:24:31.980 court and the like, and saying these issues of Trump impounding money, rescissions package,
00:24:38.520 all of these things, laying off workers, firing them, furloughing them.
00:24:43.200 These are political issues that are for the political branches, the executive and the
00:24:47.120 legislative.
00:24:47.800 And it's kicking that over back to the legislative and executive branches.
00:24:52.520 Well, the legislative branch is essentially unable to operate or unable to do things, and
00:24:57.120 it's not checking the executive branch.
00:24:59.620 And so because of that, naturally speaking, whether it's Trump or not, because this has been
00:25:04.580 going on for decades, the executive branch is getting stronger and stronger and stronger.
00:25:09.260 The difference here is Trump is just exerting this force in a way we've never seen before.
00:25:15.700 He's not just doing it in the courts.
00:25:18.380 He's not just doing it by executive action.
00:25:20.520 He's also doing it on social media and in the media as well.
00:25:23.260 It's just a full court press.
00:25:25.420 And institutionalists sort of have no idea how to deal with this.
00:25:29.580 And I'm not sure I have much of a suggestion as well.
00:25:34.240 But to answer your question more specifically, where does this go?
00:25:38.500 The executive continues to get stronger and stronger until the legislative branch decides
00:25:43.120 it's enough.
00:25:46.420 Part of this, this is why the story that broke, and we had Ibbotson on, Ross Ibbotson from Daily
00:25:54.200 Mail, the U.S. editor, because they broke this story about President Trump after the meeting
00:25:58.460 with the generals and after Pete going to Memphis, they had a team go to the Capitol Hill and
00:26:06.040 brief members of the Capitol Hill about what they called the war.
00:26:10.420 They've declared war on the cartels now, principally in the Caribbean, maybe Venezuela, but they
00:26:14.520 call them non-state actors in Mexico.
00:26:16.080 That is so extraordinary because it is showing that they know that the House has the ability,
00:26:24.920 right, or Congress has the ability to only they have the ability to get to declare war.
00:26:30.060 But to get in front of the War Powers Act, they went up and gave a briefing and said, hey,
00:26:33.360 guys, this is what we're doing.
00:26:34.780 We just want to make sure that you're in.
00:26:36.020 We're not looking for permission.
00:26:37.380 We're just making sure you're in the loop.
00:26:39.040 Is that a signal that that that the executive understands that the how the Congress is not
00:26:46.260 the Duma, right, but they're going to press it and push it as far as possible?
00:26:51.000 Clearly, I think this contrary to a lot of Trump's critics on the left, I think it still
00:26:57.280 indicates that he is going to abide by some sort of norms.
00:27:00.020 And I'm just sort of guessing here why I probably shouldn't do.
00:27:04.120 But to kind of put it crudely, my guess is Trump is probably sitting around like, OK, Congress
00:27:08.500 is being a pain in the ass.
00:27:09.920 Let's send them a letter and let's stroke them by having a private meeting and telling
00:27:14.720 them all this stuff.
00:27:15.920 But let's face it.
00:27:17.040 Donald Trump signaled this at the beginning of his administration.
00:27:20.780 This administration, he signed executive orders basically declaring a war on drug cartels.
00:27:26.760 And then he followed it up subsequently a month ago or so by explicitly stating that the
00:27:33.520 U.S. military was going to be using military action to go after drug cartels.
00:27:39.780 And so there's really sort of no change between what you saw out of Donald Trump on January 20th
00:27:46.600 and what you're seeing now from a policy perspective.
00:27:49.080 Now, what you're seeing on the ground or better said on the water is something we've just never
00:27:53.140 seen before.
00:27:53.840 You know, the number of ships, the armada that the United States government has in the
00:28:01.640 southern Caribbean off of Venezuela is really unprecedented.
00:28:05.800 People have compared Donald Trump to Monroe, you know, the Monroe Doctrine.
00:28:11.520 I think the New York Post even called it the Monroe Doctrine.
00:28:14.040 Hang one second.
00:28:15.520 I just want to hold you through a break because it's such an important point.
00:28:19.500 Just hang with us.
00:28:20.120 Mark Caputo of Axios.
00:28:21.020 It's Alex DeGrasse up next.

00:29:53.960 and the team.
00:29:55.560 Trying to get Philip Patrick on the show for tomorrow, see if we can work it out.
00:29:59.900 And Posobiec is going to join me at 11.
00:30:02.360 We're going to talk for seven hours on Sunday, the 250th anniversary of the United States
00:30:09.080 Navy, a couple of weeks early, but this is how President Trump fits into his schedule.
00:30:12.880 Going to go, President Trump's going to go participate in a major naval exercise off the
00:30:17.940 Virginia capes and Real America's Voice in the War Room will be live from 10 a.m.
00:30:23.520 Eastern Daylight Time to 5 p.m. to cover it all.
00:30:26.840 We're going to have tons of guests and talk about sea power, the history of the Navy, the
00:30:31.280 future of the Navy.
00:30:32.740 As Marco Puda's talking about, we have an armada right now.
00:30:36.660 People in the old days might say it's gunboat diplomacy, but it's enforcing the Monroe Doctrine
00:30:40.720 against non-state actors, I might add, as President Trump said.
00:30:43.500 But he's going to continue to push the envelope on all these things, is he not, Mark?
00:30:49.040 Oh, definitely.
00:30:49.780 Yeah, where I was going is people are comparing to Monroe.
00:30:52.080 I think he's more like William McKinley from the Spanish-American War, which just made sure
00:30:58.380 that American hegemony was supreme in the hemisphere.
00:31:03.040 And I think what we're going to see, not just on the domestic front, but also on the foreign
00:31:06.960 policy front, is a much stronger executive exerting its power, United States exerting
00:31:12.500 its power in the hemisphere as well.
00:31:16.160 You can see that even in the Argentina situation.
00:31:18.720 Caputo, I'll have you back on to discuss this.
00:31:21.060 I know being a guy from Miami, you know the Caribbean and South America and Central America,
00:31:28.220 how important it is to this country and to peace and prosperity.
00:31:32.600 Sir, where do people get you?
00:31:33.660 And I've got to give a hat tip.
00:31:34.620 This article in Axios is an absolute must-read and a must-share.
00:31:39.680 I think it outlines very succinctly what is actually going on.
00:31:44.800 It's pure signal, no noise, sir.
00:31:47.620 Well, that's what we try to do, at Mark A. Caputo on Twitter, which is mainly where I'm
00:31:51.140 at.
00:31:51.560 I'm sorry, I need to get on Getter.
00:31:53.200 I have too many platforms.
00:31:54.180 And at Axios.com.
00:31:58.160 Thank you, brother.
00:31:58.920 Appreciate you.
00:31:59.460 Let's do, we have the, I've got to play the Jake Tapper, Hakeem Jeffries total meltdown.
00:32:07.140 And, uh, and DeGrasse, DeGrasse is here to explain it all to you and how bad the math
00:32:11.720 actually is.
00:32:13.320 So the Democrats really have nowhere to retreat to.
00:32:15.880 Let's go and play the, the, the Jeffries and we'll get DeGrasse in here.
00:32:19.660 So let me ask you about a provision that the Republicans are talking about quite a bit.
00:32:23.020 I know you want to talk about, and Democrats want to talk about extending the Obamacare
00:32:26.580 subsidies, which expire at the end of 2025, but they talk about the provisions and it's
00:32:31.280 right here, subtitle E, and this has to do with the repeal of healthcare subtitle changes
00:32:36.520 and specifically what it is.
00:32:37.820 They, they're how they characterize it, characterize it is you want to give health insurance, uh,
00:32:43.340 to undocumented immigrants.
00:32:44.960 I understand that's not really an accurate depiction, but what it does do is it's a lie.
00:32:49.560 It's a lie, but what you support does bring back funding for emergency Medicaid to hospitals,
00:32:57.940 some of which does pay for undocumented immigrants and people who don't have health insurance.
00:33:02.660 And also there is this provision and it's not about undocumented immigrants.
00:33:06.000 It's about people with asylum seekers and people with temporary protected status, et cetera,
00:33:10.900 et cetera, but about their ability to get Medicaid.
00:33:13.260 So they're non-citizens.
00:33:14.460 They're not undocumented.
00:33:15.480 They're not illegal.
00:33:16.260 Why even include that in a bill, knowing that they're going to seize right upon that
00:33:21.660 and use that as a message?
00:33:22.960 Well, what we're doing is fighting to protect the healthcare of the American people against
00:33:26.840 the largest cut to Medicaid ever.
00:33:30.060 14 million American citizens are going to...
00:33:33.580 As DeGrasse told us, this is, he just goes on.
00:33:36.640 It's a word salad.
00:33:37.520 It's a meltdown.
00:33:38.420 He was not prepared for CNN actually to ask a question and back it up with a document.
00:33:42.900 But DeGrasse, and DeGrasse, I might add as we get into this, I think it was what your
00:33:47.700 great, great, your family, it's so ironic we're off the Virginia Capes this weekend on
00:33:54.360 the 250th anniversary of the United States Navy with the president out there with the
00:33:58.360 carrier battle group.
00:33:59.180 And it's just going to be amazing when your family essentially saved the American Republic
00:34:05.180 by the great battle part you were part of, your family was part of the French Navy off
00:34:10.640 the Virginia Capes that basically drove the British Navy, the Royal Navy out and would
00:34:15.680 not let them relieve Cornwallis' army at Yorktown that led to the end of the American Revolution.
00:34:21.640 So we're going to have you on on Sunday to commemorate that because I'm going to go into
00:34:25.080 the whole history of the Virginia Capes.
00:34:27.340 DeGrasse, you've got an analysis you sent me.
00:34:30.340 It's actually more shocking than I thought.
00:34:33.140 I don't know how the Democrats worked their way out of it.
00:34:35.540 I'm going to just turn the floor over to you.
00:34:37.480 And if you walk through, folks, this is another thing.
00:34:39.080 We have these individual charts put up on a Twitter feed that's just magnificent.
00:34:44.020 But you get this too.
00:34:45.260 And this weekend, if anybody gives you any crap about the shutdown, you get up in their
00:34:49.100 face with math.
00:34:50.100 Alex DeGrasse, the floor is yours, sir.
00:34:52.200 Alex, I think you're on mute.
00:35:00.280 Sorry.
00:35:00.800 And the key, obviously, in Chesapeake Bay was that we kept them, right?
00:35:05.860 And forced them to surrender, of course, not allowing them to leave, which they tried to
00:35:09.680 retreat due to the combined ground forces of the French and the Americans.
00:35:14.000 But so on this, Steve, this is critically important because this is the weeds.
00:35:17.460 This is sort of the battlefield here.
00:35:19.060 The one beautiful big bill, one thing it did do, right, was it sort of gutted this and
00:35:25.440 put in the requirements for on, you know, Medicaid services going to citizens.
00:35:29.960 That is like the ultimate meltdown for these people, Steve.
00:35:33.200 That's why this is what they've decided to die on the hill for, right?
00:35:37.160 This is their line in the sand.
00:35:38.980 This is what they are shutting down the government over, okay?
00:35:41.360 So there's a line item that they want to repeal.
00:35:43.380 And like the RNC and the Trump campaign has been posting like the direct quote that is
00:35:47.860 in their proposed, you know, continuing resolution to keep the government would be to repeal that.
00:35:53.460 And so you've got something called emergency services Medicaid, right?
00:35:57.100 Emergency Medicaid.
00:35:58.500 And the key number is, and that's like you go into the hospital, they don't ask questions,
00:36:03.300 they just pay for it essentially, right?
00:36:04.840 And word had gotten out that illegal immigrants can just go, go to an emergency room, kind
00:36:11.900 of wave the flag and just literally get free health care.
00:36:14.900 And that number, Steve, went from, in 2023, went from $4 billion that we know of, okay?
00:36:21.860 Emergency services for undocumented aliens.
00:36:24.760 And by 2024, it got to over $9 billion nationwide.
00:36:30.120 Again, that's just what we know.
00:36:31.680 When you dig into the numbers further, Steve, I think California accounts for 71% of the entire
00:36:39.040 country's emergency Medicaid services, Steve, okay?
00:36:43.200 And so it's like totally bizarre world.
00:36:45.940 You go from 1.6 up to 6.4.
00:36:48.980 They've even established, you know, California and New York both have quote unquote state funds.
00:36:53.920 Like they claim, well, it's state spending, not federal, but all the money's mixed in a pot.
00:36:57.620 It's flooding into the city, these, and everyone's getting rich off it, Steve.
00:37:02.020 The hospitals, sorry, the doctors, the whole system.
00:37:05.500 I mean, as I've worked to uncover this, it's like one of the most powerful lobbies in this
00:37:09.840 country is this sort of healthcare lobby that's getting absolutely rich off of all of these
00:37:16.280 services to illegal immigrants.
00:37:17.600 And they are going absolutely ballistic, whether it be about the bill or about the shutdown
00:37:22.720 enforcing this issue.
00:37:24.160 And so when they say it's not about illegal immigrants, it literally is.
00:37:29.060 And it has exploded the spending, again, that we know of, okay?
00:37:33.660 It's just, it's a really a sick thing.
00:37:35.660 People have to be aware of what's happening in this country.
00:37:37.840 You have to question your local politicians at the state level.
00:37:40.520 And we need to hold the line at the federal level because we have to stop this once and
00:37:44.480 for all because it's an absolute abomination, Steve.
00:37:47.580 New York is the same way.
00:37:48.620 New York has increased-
00:37:50.420 New York, exactly.
00:37:52.340 1,400 percent increase.
00:37:53.620 No, that's why they're sanctuary cities.
00:37:55.900 This is why they're sanctuary cities and they draw it because the illegal aliens or even the
00:38:02.060 people on Asylum TV, they're off the grid.
00:38:04.680 This is where they go for their healthcare.
00:38:06.140 But not only is it a cost that's exploding, people are making money on taxpayers exploding,
00:38:11.620 but it's actually destroyed the healthcare for American citizens.
00:38:15.640 You can't go to an emergency room anymore.
00:38:17.680 It's absolutely packed.
00:38:18.880 Where do you go?
00:38:19.280 You have all these private little clinics, stuff like that.
00:38:22.520 Well, they all sprung up because the emergency rooms are basically taken over by illegal aliens
00:38:28.360 that the citizens that can't get in are paying for.
00:38:31.560 This is what President Trump is saying.
00:38:32.880 Hey, it's not simply America first.
00:38:35.360 We have to get to American citizens first.
00:38:38.020 American citizens have to be taken care of first.
00:38:40.100 And here, and this is why, without illegal aliens, right, the Democratic Party doesn't exist.
00:38:48.620 This is why AOC and Mondami run the Democratic Party now because they're the basically voice of the illegal alien invading population.
00:38:57.820 And this is why Schirmer's so panicked about it.
00:39:00.580 This is a hill they have to die.
00:39:02.900 This is a hill that Schirmer and those guys have to die on, right?
00:39:05.700 They know that if they can't give it up, they just can't wave it and say, okay, fine, let Trump and the Republicans reverse it.
00:39:12.900 Then they're done.
00:39:14.720 This is why this trap that was set is absolutely perfect.
00:39:19.020 And it shows the American people exactly what's going on and the forces in the Democratic Party that are working against the working class in this country's interest.
00:39:29.220 Alex DeGrasse.
00:39:30.820 That's exactly right, Steve.
00:39:32.020 And, you know, look at your hospital.
00:39:34.560 Look it up online.
00:39:35.360 Go to the FEC.
00:39:36.200 Type in their name.
00:39:37.360 Look if they have a PAC.
00:39:38.680 Hospitals are one of the Democrats' biggest funders.
00:39:41.440 It's health care, hospitals, the whole economics of it.
00:39:44.180 I mean, in New York State, millions and millions of dollars have flowed into Cuomo's campaign when he was governor, obviously Hochul's campaign.
00:39:51.940 And it's one massive feedback loop on this illegal immigrant, you know, Medicaid thing.
00:39:56.020 I'm sorry.
00:39:56.580 People are going to be upset I'm saying it.
00:39:57.880 But it's totally out of control.
00:39:59.260 There's a massive, massive economic scale across the country on this illegal immigrant health care system.
00:40:05.940 It has to stop.
00:40:06.880 We need – because, look, Steve, one time I got sick.
00:40:09.920 I had to go somewhere.
00:40:10.560 I couldn't go in.
00:40:11.120 I was worried.
00:40:11.720 I went to some walk-in clinic.
00:40:12.960 It was like a weird thing.
00:40:14.600 Then I get charged, you know, an emergency room price when I just went to some walk-in clinic.
00:40:20.280 I mean, this stuff is crazy.
00:40:21.880 Americans are getting absolutely ripped.
00:40:23.580 And to know that there are people just getting, you know, free health care, free this, free that.
00:40:27.860 I mean, you look at Mamdami.
00:40:29.360 He's open about it.
00:40:30.340 And that's the new dynamic, right?
00:40:31.920 He's like, hey, $100 million here to defend their legal rights, $100 million here.
00:40:36.800 Some independent journalist was just asking illegal immigrants in the street in New York, hey, are you an immigrant?
00:40:41.720 Do you get free health care?
00:40:42.680 They said, yeah.
00:40:43.960 They're like, yeah, we all get free health care.
00:40:46.600 I mean, I have no idea what's going on.
00:40:47.920 This stuff is wild.
00:40:49.080 And I think as more people learn about it, which I do think is what is happening during the shutdown because people are kind of wondering what's going on, you know, and that's why the shutdowns you're able to kind of bring forth an issue and possibly win on it, hopefully, which I think we are.
00:41:01.560 I think we just have to continue to hammer the fact that, hey, this is a massive economic situation for them.
00:41:07.880 This is massive corruption.
00:41:09.540 All of Americans are getting absolutely ripped.
00:41:11.200 And we're spending billions of your money, Steve, of our money on illegal immigrants.
00:41:16.420 And they say we're not.
00:41:17.760 This is how good it is.
00:41:19.040 I didn't have time to play it.
00:41:20.520 Maybe I'll have time this afternoon.
00:41:22.200 Elizabeth Warren, who's probably the best they've got because she was a bankruptcy lawyer, of explaining these things.
00:41:27.400 They asked her the question last night.
00:41:29.440 I think they held up the document.
00:41:31.060 It was some guy from CNN or somewhere.
00:41:33.400 She melted down.
00:41:35.280 They can't answer it.
00:41:36.380 They just melt down.
00:41:37.200 And she starts talking about rural hospitals and, you know, reimbursements.
00:41:41.020 It's all gobbledygook.
00:41:42.420 You give them the language and they melt down.
00:41:45.860 They can't answer it.
00:41:46.620 And they're so furious with the mainstream media for actually asking the question that I think the Republicans have just done a great job of messing with this.
00:41:56.300 And there's no need to have a meeting.
00:41:58.320 There's nothing to negotiate.
00:41:59.900 We're never going to allow that.
00:42:01.500 And if that's what you're going to do, then I guess we're going to be out for a while.
00:42:04.160 And I think people just have to dig in and say, and that's why, folks, you need these charts over the weekend.
00:42:09.640 Just put it up, particularly if you've got a family member that's going to say Trump's awful, Trump's the worst.
00:42:15.220 He just wants to be king.
00:42:16.180 Just put it up in their face that we're not paying for illegal alien Medicaid, Medicare, whatever you call it.
00:42:21.600 We're not paying for free health care for illegal aliens or anybody that's in that group.
00:42:25.280 There are people coming over, the phony asylum seekers, the, you know, the TPSA guys, all of that.
00:42:31.500 DeGrasse, I know you've got to bounce.
00:42:32.820 Where do people go?
00:42:33.920 You're putting stuff up on your social media all the time.
00:42:36.140 Where do folks go to get you?
00:42:38.080 Yeah, just real quickly, Steve, it's really important.
00:42:40.100 When you look at what Republicans' top line number is for Medicaid in this bill, when you remove the illegal immigrants, when you remove the fraud, which is 10%, 20% estimated conservatively in some areas, you're actually talking about a net increase in Medicaid spending for American citizens, Steve.
00:42:56.120 That's the important thing.
00:42:56.820 So Republicans, I tell people, no, actually, we've increased Medicaid spending, but okay.
00:43:00.500 But for the who actually need it.
00:43:02.780 So I'm at DeGrasse 81.
00:43:04.740 We have to push back on this on all fronts.
00:43:06.460 This is really the hell they've chosen to die on, and fine, let it be.
00:43:09.820 So DeGrasse 81, I'm on Truth Getter, X, the whole thing.
00:43:13.920 Thank you, Steve.
00:43:14.880 And Newarktown's huge, so I would love to talk about that because they don't teach it in schools much.
00:43:18.580 You're going to join us on Sunday and talk about the battle off the Virginia Capes that saved the besieged Americans.
00:43:28.040 Short break.
00:43:28.680 Thank you, DeGrasse.
00:43:29.580 Short break.
00:43:30.460 Mary Holland next on Pfizer.
00:43:32.860 Let's take down the CCP.
00:43:35.900 What if he had the brightest mind in the war room delivering critical financial research every month?
00:43:41.960 Steve Bannon here.
00:43:43.100 War room listeners know Jim Rickards.
00:43:44.760 I love this guy.
00:43:45.600 He's our wise man, a former CIA, Pentagon, and White House advisor with an unmatched grasp of geopolitics and capital markets.
00:43:53.840 Jim predicted Trump's Electoral College victory exactly 312 to 226, down to the actual number itself.
00:44:03.220 Now he's issuing a dire warning about April 11th, a moment that could define Trump's presidency in your financial future.
00:44:10.260 His latest book, Money GPT, exposes how AI is setting the stage for financial chaos, bank runs at lightning speeds, algorithm-driven crashes, and even threats to national security.
00:44:22.460 Right now, war room members get a free copy of Money GPT when they sign up for Strategic Intelligence.
00:44:29.060 This is Jim's flagship financial newsletter, Strategic Intelligence.
00:44:33.360 I read it.
00:44:34.920 You should read it.
00:44:35.960 Time is running out.

00:45:30.900 Data download.
00:45:32.320 That's the greatest compilation I've ever seen.
00:45:37.220 A couple things.
00:45:38.500 Mary Helen's going to join us about Pfizer in a moment.
00:45:41.740 The President of the United States.
00:45:42.940 So we're live from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
00:45:45.780 At least 5 p.m.
00:45:46.880 It may go longer if the ceremony goes longer.
00:45:49.540 A full day in commemoration of the Navy's 250th birthday.
00:45:53.660 And obviously sailors are maybe not the best at marching.
00:45:59.220 So it's not going to be a marching parade.
00:46:00.480 But what you're going to get is a massive naval exercise off the Virginia Capes.
00:46:05.040 Jack Posobiec is going to join me in a few minutes.
00:46:07.220 He's going to be with the President.
00:46:08.600 I think Steve Gruber is going to be actually forward deployed on one of the vessels.
00:46:13.360 We're going to have guests all day long, including during the naval exercise.
00:46:17.760 So I'll explain it all to you.
00:46:19.440 You're going to have a great time.
00:46:20.640 This is going to be special, of course, being a former naval officer, surface warfare officer.
00:46:25.420 This is, you know, when Robin Parker talked to me about this, said, look, we've got to do this and do it right.
00:46:30.220 So the whole Real America's Voice team is turning out big time for this.
00:46:34.640 President Trump has just announced that 6 p.m., so 6 p.m., which will be after the naval exercise, he's given a deadline.
00:46:42.940 6 p.m., looks like Eastern Daylight Time, for a Hamas either agree to the deal or, I think, to quote President Trump, all hell is going to break loose.
00:46:52.040 And that would be coming on to the second anniversary of 7 October in the horrific attack by the Muslim Brotherhood against Israel.
00:47:02.120 So this is going to be quite a weekend.
00:47:04.820 We're going to be around.
00:47:05.420 We're going to do the Saturday show.
00:47:07.180 We're going to be here with you all day Sunday once again.
00:47:10.640 And then, obviously, if things start to light up Sunday night, we'll be with you Sunday night.
00:47:17.920 So it looks like some activity.
00:47:19.500 The President of the United States has just given an ultimatum to Hamas, said, look, I put this deal together, united the Arab world, got Netanyahu kind of unwillingly to agree and go along with this because it's not his plan.
00:47:31.000 Everybody understands that.
00:47:32.780 He's agreed that if you stick to the plan President Trump's laid out, they're kind of going to be in.
00:47:37.340 And he's told Hamas, no more games.
00:47:39.300 6 p.m., you've got a deadline.
00:47:40.700 6 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time.
00:47:43.480 You're in or you're out.
00:47:44.460 And if you're out, that's fine.
00:47:45.720 But all hell is going to break loose.
00:47:46.860 You're not going to get a free pass on this.
00:47:48.300 No free option.
00:47:50.340 Mary Holland, the President of the United States, not just in getting Bobby Kennedy to the campaign and then emerging kind of the Maha and MAGA movements, and we understand that those two movements combined are unbeatable in American politics.
00:48:02.520 But the toughness of the confirmation hearing, this audience being all over it, and then all the good news that kind of came out about vaccines and kind of the logic of our movement, the Maha part of our movement.
00:48:16.640 And then President Trump having the President of the United States, and then President Trump having the extraordinary and quite frankly breathtaking presentation in the Roosevelt Room where he sat there about autism and not just Tylenol, but he said the little babies, and it was very heart-rendering to see the little baby with the vat of stuff they're going to put in it.
00:48:32.140 And President Trump said, I'm going to stake my presidency on getting to the bottom of this autism situation and what we're doing here.
00:48:39.700 And then, so I'm sitting there going, man, he's out Bobby Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy.
00:48:44.420 I mean, this thing is rocking and rolling down, far, far greater than, you know, putting Malone this ASAP, which was all great, but now Trump's taking personal, not just giving him air cover, Trump's in the lead tank.
00:48:56.320 And then we had this thing with Pfizer the other day, and so I am totally and completely corn-fused.
00:49:02.980 Megan Messley from Politico did a good job of kind of laying out the facts, but can you tell me, can you frame this for me?
00:49:10.280 Because I don't know what's going on now.
00:49:11.840 Well, I think it is confusing, Steve.
00:49:15.500 You know, I think President Trump is known for sort of double games, and I think we've seen part of it.
00:49:21.520 So what they announced is that Pfizer's going to invest $70 billion in the U.S.
00:49:28.240 Pharma is allegedly bringing $500 billion towards manufacturing in the U.S.
00:49:33.220 Trump said that he's creating this Trump Rx where drugs would be much cheaper for Americans.
00:49:38.780 They'd get most favored nation status, so we wouldn't be paying many multiple times more than people pay in Western Europe or Canada.
00:49:46.620 All that's essentially good news to people.
00:49:49.680 But Albert Bourla, the head of Pfizer, says, you know, we're going to be manufacturing vaccines.
00:49:54.600 We're going to be going against cancer.
00:49:56.320 We're going to be going against obesity.
00:49:57.640 Things that are related to these COVID shots that we know were responsible for the deaths of literally hundreds of thousands of people around the world and in the United States.
00:50:08.720 You know, Pfizer knew that the vaccines did not cause, did not stop infection or transmission.
00:50:15.500 Pfizer has an incredibly long rap sheet of false advertising, misbranding, adulteration.
00:50:21.940 They've paid billions of dollars over the years to the U.S. government in fines.
00:50:26.460 So it was troubling to see President Trump wrap himself up with Albert Bourla at Pfizer.
00:50:32.640 A public-private partnership with pharma is exactly what's been the corrupting influence on regulators.
00:50:40.140 So it was troubling.
00:50:41.540 We don't know any of the details, Steve.
00:50:44.280 Many groups, including ICANN, public citizen, have already put in requests for freedom of information.
00:50:49.860 What are the details of the deal here?
00:50:51.900 It's not quite clear.
00:50:56.480 How do people go?
00:50:58.240 Where do people go on your site to get more information about this?
00:51:01.740 Because I want to kind of flood the zone so people understand what's going on.
00:51:04.540 Because the part about what Bourla said is the part that confuses people.
00:51:08.520 And are we still in the MRNA business?
00:51:10.800 I know we've got reports coming out, et cetera.
00:51:13.680 So I want people to be fully up to speed with all the information.
00:51:17.040 Where do they go?
00:51:17.820 Thank you, Steve.
00:51:18.660 I want people to sign up for The Defender.
00:51:21.660 It's free.
00:51:22.560 It comes out every day, Monday through Friday.
00:51:24.940 It is outstanding, accurate, well-sourced, cited information.
00:51:29.960 So we just did a piece on this.
00:51:31.740 So go to childrenshealthdefense.org, no apostrophe, and then click on Defender and sign up for a free subscription.
00:51:39.840 Because we are at the forefront of this.
00:51:42.300 We are tracking what's happening in D.C.
00:51:44.600 We're tracking what's happening with HHS, with the president.
00:51:48.300 And we've unpacked this.
00:51:49.840 This is not the radical transparency that Secretary Kennedy and President Trump have promised us.
00:51:55.060 It's not.
00:51:55.660 And we're not happy about it.
00:51:57.020 And we're staying on top of it.
00:51:58.320 Well, we just got to get it and make sure people understand that.
00:52:02.480 The conference.
00:52:03.600 You've got 30 seconds.
00:52:04.760 Give me the pitch for your conference.
00:52:06.000 November 7th to 9th.
00:52:07.480 November 7th to 9th, Austin, Texas.
00:52:09.600 Sign up on our website.
00:52:10.740 Steve Bannon will be there.
00:52:11.960 We're totally excited.
00:52:13.320 It's going to be a great conference.
00:52:14.660 Two senators, lots of scientists, doctors, activists.
00:52:17.500 Please come.
00:52:20.240 Let's roll, folks.
00:52:21.760 Let's get that up.
00:52:22.620 Mo and Grace, we can put that up.
00:52:24.040 Everybody, we want a big turnout in Austin, Texas.
00:52:27.700 It's the weekend of 7 November.
00:52:30.040 Short commercial break.
00:52:31.820 Jack Posobiec.
00:52:32.900 I think we've got Alex Jones and a surprise guest in the next hour in the War Room.
00:52:39.700 You know, I didn't know this until the guys at Field of Greens, the doctors, and the experts told me about it and then gave me information.
00:52:56.620 It was fascinating.
00:52:57.920 We have two ages, our actual age and our body's internal biological age.
00:53:02.220 Additionally, what I didn't know is I've likely lowered my biological age without even knowing it.
00:53:10.140 Here's the thing.
00:53:11.280 Because Americans eat so many processed and ultra-processed foods and not enough fruits and vegetables, many, perhaps most, are 10 years older on the inside than their actual age.
00:53:25.100 They're ticking time bombs.
00:53:27.520 A major university study suggests how to slow aging and diffuse that biological time bomb.
00:53:34.800 Participants slowed their aging by drinking Field of Greens.
00:53:37.900 That's all.
00:53:39.160 They didn't change their eating, drinking, or exercise.
00:53:41.440 Just Field of Greens.
00:53:42.360 I feel great knowing Field of Greens can slow how quickly I'm aging, and I encourage you to join me.
00:53:49.680 Swap your untested fruit, vegetable, or green drink for Field of Greens while there's time.
