Bannon's War Room - Episode 4858： Arraignment Of John Bolton; Taking Down Leftist Terror Groups

00:00:00.000 Bolton faces 18 counts related to the retention and transmission of national defense information.

00:00:05.860 In short, this is a classified documents case.

00:00:09.640 Back in August, the FBI searched Bolton's home and office.

00:00:13.240 At the time, Trump made it all about him, saying, quote, my house was also raided.

00:00:19.660 Trump is still fuming about the criminal investigation into the classified information he stored at Mar-a-Lago.

00:00:26.800 So when he calls Bolton a, quote, bad person, we should note the hypocrisy.

00:00:33.440 Trump was charged with very similar crimes.

00:00:36.600 Of course, Trump never had to face those charges in court.

00:00:40.020 Judge Eileen Cannon, who Trump appointed to the federal branch, threw them out.

00:00:44.740 As for Bolton, he warned about this moment last year during the presidential campaign, writing in his book, quote,

00:00:50.400 Trump really cares only about retribution for himself, and it will consume much of a second term.

00:00:58.040 Trump was just indicted by a grand jury in Maryland.

00:01:01.280 Do you have a reaction to that?

00:01:02.280 I didn't know that.

00:01:03.040 You told me for the first time, but I think he's, you know, a bad person.

00:01:06.920 I think he's a bad guy. 0.55

00:01:10.440 Yeah, he's a bad guy.

00:01:11.700 He's too bad, but that's the way it goes.

00:01:13.900 Have you reviewed the case against him?

00:01:14.500 That's the way it goes, right?

00:01:16.120 That's the way it goes.

00:01:16.980 Will I what?

00:01:17.480 Have you reviewed the case against him?

00:01:18.980 No, I haven't.

00:01:19.940 I haven't.

00:01:20.480 But I just think he's a bad person.

00:01:21.960 We know how, from what we've seen in the past couple of weeks, that when Donald Trump makes

00:01:27.560 these demands of charges against his perceived enemies, sometimes those charges follow.

00:01:33.180 What is not clear at all, however, is what crimes these people may have committed.

00:01:38.100 It seems that Donald Trump is interested solely in payback because these are people who

00:01:42.760 presided over charges against him.

00:01:44.880 So, you know, Jack Smith was the special counsel and Lisa Monaco was the deputy attorney general

00:01:50.520 at the time.

00:01:51.640 Andrew Wiseman was just somebody who worked on Robert Mueller's team.

00:01:54.600 And so there's no suggestion of any criminal conduct by any of these people.

00:01:59.820 And so targeting individuals because they're bad people or because you want to seek payback

00:02:04.460 is a really inappropriate use of the Justice Department.

00:02:07.220 So I don't know that prosecutors are going to find any crimes that they can charge these

00:02:11.840 people with.

00:02:12.460 But if they do, I think they will be highly suspect along the lines of the Jim Comey and

00:02:17.340 Letitia James indictments. 0.67

00:02:18.660 This is a very serious and detailed indictment.

00:02:22.300 It says that John Bolton derived secrets from his time as national security advisor, assembled

00:02:28.440 them because he was writing a book, sent them over unclassified email and messaging apps

00:02:32.760 to his wife and daughter.

00:02:34.200 We've identified the two people as his wife and daughter.

00:02:36.720 And then that information was hacked by the government of Iran.

00:02:40.560 At least one of those email accounts was hacked.

00:02:43.100 And so the government of Iran obtained some of these state secrets, according to this indictment.

00:02:48.860 And the indictment says that Bolton used language that made clear he knew he was talking about

00:02:53.320 sensitive information, things like the intel briefer said or when in the situation room, I learned.

00:02:59.060 And so this is this and these charges, as you said, carry 10 years each.

00:03:05.360 So he could spend the rest of his life in prison, in theory, if convicted on these charges.

00:03:09.520 But let me tell you what the defense could be here.

00:03:12.340 I should add that.

00:03:13.600 And this case has been this case is being prosecuted by career prosecutors, respected people,

00:03:18.960 unlike the Comey and the James case, which was avoided by every career prosecutor in the department

00:03:25.180 and pursued only by Donald Trump's political appointee.

00:03:29.320 This one has gone through normal channels, as we understand it.

00:03:32.540 But let me explain some potential mitigating circumstances here.

00:03:36.640 Lots of people who have jobs where they see classified information write books.

00:03:41.640 And they send the manuscript through a publication review, for example, if you're a CIA officer.

00:03:47.540 And oftentimes those reviewers will say, sorry, you can't say that.

00:03:51.740 It was classified.

00:03:52.900 We're keeping that out of the book.

00:03:54.000 Well, that information was classified.

00:03:56.000 It went over an unclassified email system.

00:03:58.440 Those people don't get prosecuted for doing that.

00:04:00.960 So what's at issue here are not documents marked classified, which was the case in the Donald Trump indictment.

00:04:08.620 These were this was information that John Bolton gathered and wrote down in diaries and sent that the FBI and the CIA

00:04:17.180 and other people have determined contained national defense information.

00:04:20.580 And when you look at the descriptions in the indictment, it's pretty clear that some of it probably did.

00:04:25.280 But the question here is, where is the line for people who are writing books?

00:04:29.640 If John Bolton did go through the publication review process here.

00:04:32.660 Now, now there's allegations that he ignored some of the suggestions from people about what to leave out of the book.

00:04:39.480 But there's a lawyer named Mark Zaid who represents a lot of people who write books.

00:04:43.840 And what he was saying last night is that if you're going to prosecute John Bolton, you got to prosecute a lot of other people who wrote books and had potentially classified information on their email systems, which was then left out of the books.

00:04:56.340 But which was actually sensitive. And the other thing is, Abby Lowell, John Bolton's lawyer, is saying here that this was not classified.

00:05:05.540 These were this was information that he kept for diaries.

00:05:08.740 And he said that the FBI has known about this for a long time.

00:05:11.640 And that's true. This arose in the Biden administration.

00:05:13.940 And and what what what what seems to be the case is that they did not know the extent of what was in at least one of his email accounts until they discovered that Iran they discovered the material that Iran had hacked through a U.S.

00:05:28.300 intelligence penetration of Iran.

00:05:30.560 That's according to my reporting. And that's one of the reasons this case didn't go forward in the Biden administration is because officials were concerned about revealing that penetration.

00:05:39.680 The Trump administration has made a different calculation. They're OK with revealing it.

00:05:43.720 They've revealed it now to the Iranians. So whatever penetration they had is now shut down.

00:05:48.320 That's how badly they wanted to prosecute John Bolton.

00:05:50.960 And that's where you can ask questions about whether this case should have gone forward, guys.

00:05:55.560 Vote, who was a key architect of Project 2025 and also served as OMB director during President Trump's first term.

00:06:03.820 He has been a catalyst behind the administration's efforts to fire federal workers, gut key agencies and slash foreign aid.

00:06:12.380 Now, a piece published jointly by ProPublica and The New Yorker is taking a deeper dive into vote's dismantling of the federal government,

00:06:22.720 chronicling his rise from the mailroom of the U.S. Senate to what some call the shadow president.

00:06:30.380 And vote's vision for the U.S. government and all powerful executive branch would be able to fire workers, cancel programs, shutter agencies and undo regulations that cover air and water quality,

00:06:44.580 financial markets, workplace protections and civil rights.

00:06:49.000 The Department of Justice, meanwhile, would shed its historical independence and operate at the direction of the White House.

00:06:56.600 All of this puts vote at the center of what Steve Vladek, a law professor at Georgetown, described to me as the Trump administration's complete disregards for the law.

00:07:08.140 And if you look at historical parallels and you read books like the one written by former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright or Anne Applebaum,

00:07:21.380 the groundwork being laid here for destroying democracy.

00:07:25.900 But John Bolton did come back with a statement on this and he's you know, he's not going down as just James noted as well without fighting.

00:07:34.480 He said, quote, these charges are not just about Trump's focus on me or my diaries,

00:07:40.540 but his intensive effort to intimidate his opponents, to ensure that he alone determines what is said about his conduct.

00:07:48.440 Dissent and disagreement are foundational to America's constitutional system and vitally important to our freedom.

00:07:54.880 I look forward to the fight to defend my lawful conduct and to expose his abuse of power.

00:08:01.960 The question is, which guardrails are left, given what the Supreme Court has done?

00:08:06.100 Right. That's that's exactly right.

00:08:08.200 There aren't many guardrails left.

00:08:09.780 And that's the reason why I feel the need to come on tonight and really just speak in very clear terms,

00:08:14.420 because the only guardrails is is the American public and our skepticism and that we don't start with the presumption that an indictment returned against Donald Trump's political enemies is on the up and up.

00:08:26.360 We start with the presumption, the strong presumption that when Donald Trump's political enemies all of a sudden find themselves magically under indictment,

00:08:34.940 that it's probably not on the up and up, that it probably is because something untoward happened.

00:08:40.120 And so that's all I'm asking everyone to do right now.

00:08:45.600 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.

00:08:50.480 Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.

00:08:55.720 I got a free shot.

00:08:56.980 All these networks lying about the people.

00:08:59.980 The people have had a belly full of it.

00:09:01.880 I know you don't like hearing that.

00:09:03.300 I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.

00:09:06.000 It's going to happen.

00:09:07.060 And where do people like that go to share the big line?

00:09:10.680 MAGA Media.

00:09:11.580 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

00:09:17.500 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

00:09:21.220 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

00:09:27.540 War Room.

00:09:28.420 Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann.

00:09:30.820 It's Friday, 17 October, in the year of our Lord, 2025.

00:09:40.040 I'm here in the Lone Star State with Brian Harrison.

00:09:43.520 Brian, thank you for joining us today for the broadcast.

00:09:46.380 Great to be with you.

00:09:47.180 This afternoon and tomorrow.

00:09:48.460 So we're going to be juggling a lot here at War Room and Real America's Voice.

00:09:51.860 We have the Moms for Liberty, a huge conference in Florida, which a lot of the REV personnel is speaking at.

00:09:58.540 John Solomon and the team.

00:10:00.060 We've also got Marine Corps 250 out of Camp Pendlin.

00:10:03.460 Amanda Head and the team out there.

00:10:05.800 And, of course, I'm here for the next couple of days to talk to the conservatives and the grassroots conservatives in the Lone Star State to figure out.

00:10:14.960 The Lone Star State is supposed to be the railhead of MAGA.

00:10:17.020 But the folks here don't have time to even much help us on the national level because you're trying to turn around Texas.

00:10:23.540 Yeah, I know.

00:10:24.620 The people of the state of Texas love President Trump.

00:10:27.680 They vote for bold Republican leadership.

00:10:29.300 They deserve bold Republican leadership.

00:10:31.000 But instead of Texas leading the fight to lock arms with President Trump and make sure his agenda is not just passed, but passed with as big and a maximum of an impact as possible, the failed liberal establishment in the Texas government is forcing Texas taxpayers to basically fund the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris agenda, even though they've been absolutely routed at the ballot box.

00:10:51.480 Outrageous.

00:10:52.100 Okay, big geopolitical news today.

00:10:54.820 Zelensky's at the White House at 1 o'clock for this massive discussion about providing Tomahawk missiles and other offensive capabilities to the Ukrainians in the Ukraine war against the Russians.

00:11:06.620 President Trump's talked to Putin.

00:11:07.860 We're getting all that.

00:11:08.660 We want to go now.

00:11:09.400 I think we've got it.

00:11:10.480 The Council on Foreign Relations, our own Dr. Peter Navarro, is giving an address about the trade policy and I think particularly going to delve in to this economic war against China.

00:11:20.180 Let's go to the Council on Foreign Relations, Peter Navarro.

00:11:24.220 After all, it's not every day I get to speak before an audience that has opposed nearly every policy I've ever helped advance in the White House.

00:11:34.220 But let's be honest with each other.

00:11:37.060 CFR has been uniformly anti-tariff and anti-Trump and highly skeptical of an America first foreign policy that in truth is restoring our trade balance,

00:11:49.220 rebuilding our industrial base, strengthening alliances like NATO, keeping, and as we just saw in the Middle East, negotiating the broader peace,

00:12:01.100 and reasserting American sovereignty on the world stage.

00:12:04.960 So let's ask ourselves the obvious question.

00:12:09.000 How did the gulf between the Council on Foreign Relations and Trump world grow so wide?

00:12:16.900 If you ask an AI search engine, try this, I did, it will tell you that the Council on Foreign Relations embodies an establishment,

00:12:30.660 technocratic, and globalist ideology, one comfortably wedded with Wall Street and the multinational corporations that love open borders,

00:12:39.720 cheap offshore labor, and an endless stream of subsidized imported goods.

00:12:47.080 By contrast, the Trump administration since 2017 has stood squarely with the people who make and grow things in this country,

00:12:55.580 our farmers and ranchers, our manufacturers and workers.

00:13:00.400 What many in this audience dismiss as populism or nationalism simply means doing what's best for Americans first.

00:13:09.720 It's protecting our jobs, communities, and the industrial base that anchors our national strength.

00:13:18.180 History is indeed a harsh mistress here.

00:13:22.640 Exhibit A, Council on Foreign Relations members helped negotiate NAFTA,

00:13:28.780 which hallowed out the U.S. manufacturing base and triggered one of the largest illegal mass migrations in modern history.

00:13:37.180 CFR analysts championed China's 2001 entry into the World Trade Organization,

00:13:45.740 the single worst trade deal, the single worst trade deal in American history.

00:13:51.360 Then came the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

00:13:54.580 Forgive me here, Mike.

00:13:55.440 CFR sold it as a geopolitical rampart against the rise in China.

00:14:02.440 Yet, the TPP would have surrendered much of America's manufacturing base,

00:14:07.980 including our crucial auto and auto parts sectors, to Japan, Vietnam, and ironically, ultimately, China itself.

00:14:18.300 President Trump saw this very clearly and tore up the TPP on day one.

00:14:26.900 I was standing right behind him on that beautiful day.

00:14:29.660 This is what the Council on Foreign Relations has never understood.

00:14:36.580 Weakening our industrial base has never strengthened our strategic position.

00:14:42.160 It has only invited aggression.

00:14:44.640 That's why in Trump world, we do not trade off economic security for national security.

00:14:51.600 We believe economic security is national security.

00:14:56.240 Memo to CFR, you cannot project power if you surrender production.

00:15:03.180 You cannot deter aggression when your supply chains run through your opponent's ports.

00:15:09.180 You can't lead the free world if you can't make what the free world needs.

00:15:15.660 Here's the second big problem with the Council's free trade dogma.

00:15:24.600 The belief that the World Trade Organization somehow delivers fair trade as well.

00:15:31.100 By its own rules, it does not.

00:15:34.360 The WTO's most favored nation, MFN rule, says you must treat all partners the same.

00:15:42.100 But what it doesn't say is that everyone must charge the same tariffs.

00:15:47.120 So what happens?

00:15:48.640 Virtually every country in the world charges America far higher tariffs than we charge them.

00:15:56.500 Germany, for example, charges us 10% on autos.

00:16:00.560 We charge them 2.5%.

00:16:02.240 The result?

00:16:03.260 Bavaria sells us seven cars for everyone Detroit sends to Germany.

00:16:09.240 That's the tilted playing field that the Council on Foreign Relations has defended

00:16:15.640 and the one President Trump has begun to level with his policy of reciprocal tariffs.

00:16:23.020 Of course, the moment President Trump uses the T word, CFR waves the bloody shirt of what?

00:16:31.140 You know what I'm about to say.

00:16:33.280 Inflation and recession.

00:16:35.300 But the record, the record tells a very different story.

00:16:39.020 Under President Trump's first term, inflation stayed low, growth was strong,

00:16:45.600 and the American manufacturing base saw its first real revival in decades.

00:16:51.640 Far from terror of chaos, Trump world had price stability and the strongest job market in modern history.

00:17:00.000 Let's be clear.

00:17:04.320 The inflation we're living with today did not come from tariffs.

00:17:08.860 It came from Joe Biden's reckless fiscal expansion, his neglect of our supply chains,

00:17:15.640 and a hopelessly politicized Federal Reserve that accommodated the Biden bonfire.

00:17:22.080 That's why we in Trump world now hold the credibility high ground on tariffs.

00:17:29.700 Exhibit B.

00:17:30.940 During the Trump first term, and you all remember this,

00:17:34.440 CFR's predictions of economic calamity widely missed the mark.

00:17:40.800 The inflation and recession that you all forecast never came.

00:17:44.240 The alliances you said would disintegrate have endured in those wars you predicted for four peaceful years during the Trump first term.

00:17:56.040 China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia kept their powder dry.

00:18:01.420 Now, in his second term, President Donald John Trump is once again performing beautifully.

00:18:09.260 And it's long past time for the Council on Foreign Relations to catch up with a world it refuses to understand.

00:18:15.760 In closing, I come to you today not to quarrel, just to simply challenge respectfully the assumptions that still dominate this room.

00:18:33.460 The world has changed.

00:18:35.860 The American people have changed.

00:18:38.540 The age of blind globalization is over.

00:18:42.200 If the Council on Foreign Relations wants to be relevant, it must stop mistaking nationalism for isolationism,

00:18:50.900 sovereignty for retreat, and strength for aggression.

00:18:56.600 For ultimately, MAGA and the America First movement isn't about pulling back.

00:19:02.280 It's about standing tall.

00:19:04.140 It's about defending what we make, who we are, and the nation we love.

00:19:09.660 Thank you for your time.

00:19:14.040 I look forward to your questions.

00:19:15.900 And Anna Swanson of the conservative New York Times is going to grill me here. 0.82

00:19:23.460 Wow.

00:19:24.360 Just perfect.

00:19:25.380 Okay, so the reason we wanted to start with that, the great Peter Navarro,

00:19:29.300 is that Texas is kind of the railhead for the populist economic nationalists

00:19:34.580 and the folks down here, the ranchers, the farmers, the manufacturers, the entrepreneurs,

00:19:39.520 that Peter Navarro, folks, he just went into the lion's den.

00:19:43.140 The Council on Foreign Relations is like the Vatican of globalism, okay?

00:19:48.300 He went in there and threw down.

00:19:50.260 What people don't know, and the reason I'm wanting Harrison to ride shotgun with me this morning

00:19:53.400 and as we start to get in tonight and tomorrow more of the grassroots folks here,

00:19:57.860 is that you were in the first Trump term and you were one of the wingmen for Navarro

00:20:05.240 and working, you were at HHS on the supply chains.

00:20:08.040 You know exactly what he's talking about.

00:20:09.820 And the fight, the biggest fight we had, was really against kind of Republican establishment.

00:20:14.540 Oh, absolutely.

00:20:14.900 Who was absolutely appalled that of populism and nationalism,

00:20:19.040 the thing that the grassroots love in Texas, they were appalled at and fought us every day.

00:20:23.940 No, and what's so great about seeing my former colleague Peter there going into the room full of,

00:20:28.540 you cannot imagine a room full of more of like the word elite, okay?

00:20:34.580 The elitist, it doesn't even quite capture.

00:20:36.240 But what's great about watching Peter, who yes, I did get to work with and spend a lot of time with

00:20:40.320 in the West Wing during President Trump's first term,

00:20:42.920 is that that speech, even though he's delivering it to the globalists, to the elites in our nation's capital, right?

00:20:49.380 That speech was basically a speech meant for the hardworking men and women of the people in Texas,

00:20:55.000 the people that that group derides as flyover country, you know, the others, right?

00:20:59.840 The forgotten men and women of the United States.

00:21:02.400 And I'm here to tell you as somebody who had the honor of working for President Trump,

00:21:04.980 you know, alongside Peter and others, Donald J. Trump is the people's president.

00:21:09.460 And from the time he got in office up until now, I watched him systematically take positions

00:21:14.680 that not just weren't within like Republican establishment orthodoxy, but went right at it.

00:21:19.940 I mean, Peter just mentioned most favored nations.

00:21:21.560 I mean, I was in the room with the president.

00:21:23.240 He's sick and tired of not just the farmers and ranchers paying too much for everything,

00:21:26.620 but American patients.

00:21:27.880 He's sick and tired of these drugs that cost pennies to make,

00:21:31.840 being sold for pennies in all these socialist European countries,

00:21:35.180 but American patients.

00:21:37.200 Let's talk about that.

00:21:38.600 Number one is that the Chinese control all active pharmaceutical ingredients 1.00

00:21:42.820 and dominate the generic market.

00:21:44.700 But then you talk about the non-generic.

00:21:46.480 So the Americans are getting ripped off there.

00:21:48.740 But even worse is that working men and women in this country are underwriting

00:21:52.640 basically the profit stream for the big pharma from international companies.

00:21:57.660 It is an absolute fact that American patients are overpaying for their prescription,

00:22:04.580 drugs, and that's bad enough, but we're doing it so that we can subsidize

00:22:09.240 these socialist governments all across the world.

00:22:12.360 And I was super proud to get to help President Trump announce multiple pathways

00:22:15.540 for drug importation, which is something, as a Republican,

00:22:18.140 you weren't supposed to do back four years ago when he announced this.

00:22:21.220 And it was actually the Democrats under Joe Biden that pushed this anti-patient policy

00:22:26.240 and peeled that stuff back.

00:22:28.240 But no, President Trump is putting the American workers first.

00:22:31.380 He's putting American patients first. 0.98

00:22:32.780 He's putting hardworking Texans first.

00:22:34.820 And I'll tell you here, Steve, as somebody who represents hundreds of thousands of Texans

00:22:38.120 and gets to serve 30 million Texans, Texans appreciate what President Trump is doing.

00:22:42.680 They know he's got their back against the bigs, against the elites, against the powerful,

00:22:47.640 and he's the president for the forgotten men.

00:22:49.400 And these international institutions and organizations, whether it's the UN in Geneva,

00:22:55.140 the World Bank, the IMF, the World Health Organization, I want to mention, just to give folks,

00:23:01.000 look, the Council on Foreign Relations, you have globalist elites,

00:23:04.960 and then you have actually the elite of the elite, almost like a public skull and bones.

00:23:10.740 The Council on Foreign Relations, you have to be invited into.

00:23:13.820 It's like the inner sanctum of the foreign policy establishment, all the bankers, the corporatists,

00:23:19.920 the biggest pundits and writers in foreign affairs and foreign policy.

00:23:24.600 That is the Council on Foreign Relations.

00:23:26.680 And here's what they've done.

00:23:27.920 They're really centered in New York City, this kind of center of globalism.

00:23:31.720 But they now have Peter speaking actually at their D.C. branch, which is right down from the White House,

00:23:38.460 because they know they've got to keep an eye on President Trump.

00:23:40.280 President Trump is a populist and a nationalist, and this is what broke the mold and really stood up to defend our country.

00:23:46.960 And this is the thing coming down to Texas.

00:23:49.920 That speech right there is aimed to tell the Texans, hey, we understand what the problem is.

00:23:55.560 We understand these globalists, what they've been trying to do to you.

00:23:58.020 We understand how the elites in this country sold you out, including the room of the people.

00:24:01.580 And by the way, he's about to be interviewed by Anna Swanson over the New York Times.

00:24:05.280 And she's actually pretty good.

00:24:07.280 Yeah, she's actually pretty good.

00:24:08.940 But, you know, the New York Times is the paper of that and the journal of the paper of globalism.

00:24:14.160 Why can't we translate Trump's victory, and particularly Trump's principles as laid out, at least on the geostrategic side and the economic side,

00:24:22.520 why are we having such a hard time here in Texas?

00:24:25.060 Because I think I've come to the conclusion is Texas is actually the railhead of MAGA, but it's a purple state by the way that the elected officials run it.

00:24:35.580 Yeah, no, I say this all the time.

00:24:36.760 The Texas voters, the men and women who love this state, the 30 million people who call Texas home, they are red. 0.58

00:24:42.640 But the reality is, and people don't know this because all they watch is maybe a few seconds of our governor or lieutenant governor on Fox News every once in a while.

00:24:48.760 They think our government matches that and that we're red.

00:24:51.640 The reality is that the Texas people are red.

00:24:54.020 The Texas government is blue and has been for a long time.

00:24:56.800 And that's why you see people like Peter Navarro representing the president of the United States,

00:25:00.660 walking into a room full of people who for a generation basically have been able to control the regulatory capture and other things.

00:25:07.180 The government.

00:25:07.760 So it's not really been the elected officials controlling the government.

00:25:10.360 It's been the entrenched, rich, elite, special interest.

00:25:13.620 Wow.

00:25:13.780 And President Trump is an existential threat to that.

00:25:16.300 And the state of Texas should be a multiplying force and an amplifier for what President Trump is trying to do and break the mold by the liberal to the people.

00:25:24.220 A force multiplier.

00:25:25.240 A force multiplier.

00:25:25.940 Use as an example.

00:25:26.900 What Texas elites are in the governing philosophy down here because they say they're Republicans, but they're really – they're anti-populist, anti-Trump globalist.

00:25:37.120 I mean, that's what it is.

00:25:38.180 And that's why you have these policies, whether it's transgender ideology.

00:25:42.080 I mean, you've got one of the great universities.

00:25:43.680 I told you, the men and women I know that are Aggies are the most conservative, hard-bitten crew.

00:25:49.900 And I see what's happening at Texas A&M.

00:25:51.940 I go, how can that possibly happen at Texas A&M?

00:25:55.080 Well, I say as a proud member of the Fightin' Texas Aggie class of 2004, it's one of the reasons that people – why are you picking on A&M so much?

00:26:01.100 Well, I love A&M.

00:26:01.980 They educated me.

00:26:04.200 They're one of the best public universities in the country.

00:26:06.480 They were the most conservative.

00:26:07.280 Big time.

00:26:07.580 But now they've been taken over by leftists because our governor has appointed a bunch of woke, progressive leftists that have allowed this leftist, Marxist, socialist ideology to proliferate unchecked.

00:26:18.740 And now the hardworking men and women of the state of Texas, they're being taxed out of their homes – the highest property tax in the country, by the way – to fund the leftist ideology, which leads us to the transgender movement, the transgender violence. 0.93

00:26:30.980 Hang on.

00:26:31.300 When people think of Texas, they think of the frontier.

00:26:35.180 They think of the Texas ethos, the Alamo.

00:26:38.980 And you said to all the great things that Texas represented in development of the country and freedom.

00:26:44.300 And you're telling me – and I'm thinking people are looking at it, property taxes are one of the things people are prepared to.

00:26:50.740 You've got to support local government, the local schools.

00:26:52.780 But you're telling me you have among the highest property taxes in the country?

00:26:57.500 There was one analysis.

00:26:58.260 How can that be you've got Massachusetts, you've got New York State, you've got California?

00:27:02.020 Here's what I'll tell you, and it's heartbreaking and it's infuriating.

00:27:05.920 Texas has a reputation, Steve, for leading and conservative values and individual liberty and freedom.

00:27:11.860 Here's the reality.

00:27:13.240 We've just been coasting on that reputation for a generation.

00:27:16.200 And yeah, one analysis, people think we're a low-tax, low-regulation state.

00:27:19.800 It's a total myth.

00:27:20.760 One analysis last year, Texas has the highest property tax rate in the country, effective property tax rate.

00:27:28.140 And what are they doing with all this money?

00:27:29.700 Well, we're funding the exact opposite of everything President Trump is fighting for in Washington.

00:27:34.880 We're probably the biggest funder of DEI and transgender indoctrination in the whole country. 1.00

00:27:38.140 And this is why you've got, I think, some of the best, if not the best, grassroots fighters in the nation right here in Texas.

00:27:45.420 I just want to say we're going to go to break here in a second.

00:27:47.220 The other day on Tel Aviv Levin, on Mark Levin's show they had, the radio show they had Abbott, and he was praising Abbott for, Abbott was taking credit for the five seats, the redistricting.

00:27:59.480 He actually had the chutzpah to try to dance it and go, hang on, this is all these grassroots organizations, Brian Harrison, War of River Pound it every day, Abbott's fight test, behind the scenes, everything.

00:28:11.120 And he's taking credit now for, he's taking credit for the redistricting.

00:28:15.560 Your thoughts?

00:28:16.240 Well, yeah, he has a habit of doing this.

00:28:19.480 You know, I forced a professor to be fired at A&M.

00:28:22.620 And then like clockwork, there's a tweet from the governor, this professor must go.

00:28:25.460 And I'm like, well, okay, well, where were you, you know, when your reasons were hiring all these leftists?

00:28:29.360 And here's the thing, too, on the five seats, yeah, we got it done, and thank God we did.

00:28:32.940 But quite frankly, without the grassroots pressure and the president having to tell, hey, these Republican elected officials, get off your duff and do something.

00:28:39.860 And by the way, Steve, you were right on this, the posse, it should have been more than five seats.

00:28:43.360 And even the lead author of the bill has admitted we could have had more than five seats.

00:28:46.140 We should have had more than five.

00:28:47.280 Unbelievable.

00:28:47.860 Okay, today we're going to juggle a lot.

00:28:50.120 We've got news back in D.C. of taking down the administrative state.

00:28:54.100 John Bolton is about to be, the indictment's about to be, he's about to go to court today to be arraigned.

00:29:01.620 We've got, we're going to Lando to Moms for Liberty. 0.88

00:29:05.600 We're going to get a preview of Marine Corps 250 tomorrow from Camp Pendleton.

00:29:10.080 I think Amanda Head is going to be there to anchor everything. 1.00

00:29:13.840 We're going to take a short commercial break.

00:29:15.400 Gold, by the way, blew through 4,300 bucks last night.

00:29:19.180 Why is that?

00:29:19.920 I don't know.

00:29:21.040 Zelensky is in the White House today in the Oval asking for offensive weapons.

00:29:24.820 The Chinese Communist Party, Scott Besant and Jameson Greer, the ambassador for trade,

00:29:29.980 the trade negotiator saying, hey, the Chinese Communist Party are trying to put the death

00:29:33.760 nail on the global economy by banning, by this restriction of rare earths.

00:29:38.660 We're going to get into all of it today in the War Room as we're juggling the news globally

00:29:44.220 from Texas to the Eurasian landmass.

00:29:47.340 Back in a moment in the War Room.

00:33:16.880 We're going to get Matt Palumbo.

00:33:17.700 Up in a second.

00:33:19.360 Mika, they're doing a huge profile of Russ.

00:33:22.540 I think the New Yorker or Vanity Fair, one of these magazines.

00:33:26.760 And they're completely going after Russ's vote because he's a Christian nationalist.

00:33:30.940 They absolutely hate him.

00:33:32.380 They think he's the architect of so much of this, he and Stephen Miller.

00:33:36.580 But they're going absolutely crazy.

00:33:38.640 Talk to me.

00:33:38.960 And we really would like Russ taken off the chain in this because we think we're winning.

00:33:44.180 We know we're winning the Schumer shutdown.

00:33:46.180 Now it's time to drop the hammer.

00:33:47.680 And Russ has, I think, laid off 5,000.

00:33:50.520 Sorry, 5,000.

00:33:51.340 But that's of 2.5 million.

00:33:53.300 I think we still have 2.3 million civilian workers in the government.

00:33:57.140 I know Russ has a plan to go all the 500,000 above, which we're – and President Trump's under tremendous pressure by Wall Street, by the rhinos in the Senate, which is virtually all of them.

00:34:08.260 Oh, calm this down.

00:34:09.500 Tone it down.

00:34:10.700 We don't want to really make big changes.

00:34:12.620 No, the American people don't want to calm down.

00:34:14.780 The American people want big changes.

00:34:16.300 That's what they voted for last November.

00:34:18.780 And I'm really thrilled that one of the silver linings of the Democrats' total – I would say it's incompetence, but it's like willful malice, what they're doing with this Democrat-led Schumer shutdown.

00:34:27.920 I think one of the silver linings is my friend and former colleague and yours, Russ Vogt, getting to finally do some of the things that I think, quite frankly, Russ has been preparing for many, many years to get to do.

00:34:38.720 Because one of the things I think the American people now understand is that the president is supposed to be the head of the executive branch.

00:34:44.740 Yes.

00:34:45.020 But he's constantly undermined by the hundreds of thousands of woke leftist Marxist progressives that in theory work for the president but are in fact actually undermining everything President Trump is trying to do.

00:34:55.820 And this is what – in the years in the wilderness, right, the Project 2025 team, but it really was Russ Vogt, CRA, Heritage, Stephen Miller's America First Legal, so much Brooks Rollins, the America First Policy Institute.

00:35:07.900 Yep.

00:35:08.020 You know, CPI with Senator DeMint and Mark Meadows.

00:35:11.780 All these groups working together with really Miller and Russ and the viceroy, Mike Davis, saying, hey, we want to get down to a real driving – we're going to drive the narrative here on the Article II powers of the president of the United States.

00:35:27.760 He's chief executive officer of the country.

00:35:29.760 That means he can fire who he wants, and the appropriations bill is a ceiling, not a floor.

00:35:35.040 He can hold money back.

00:35:36.100 He can pound money.

00:35:36.660 Yeah.

00:35:36.980 As commander-in-chief, hey, he can repel invasions.

00:35:40.200 He can go after our enemies.

00:35:41.740 And most importantly I think has been so different, he is the chief magistrate and chief law enforcement officer of the United States government.

00:35:49.000 So the Justice Department and the FBI are not hermetically sealed away from the executive branch, Brian.

00:35:55.560 I think that's the big challenge we've had now in everything we're doing, and it's not going to stop.

00:35:58.920 No, and I was in those fights with President Trump in the first term.

00:36:01.880 It's not just the career bureaucrats that make up the vast majority of the massive federal workforce.

00:36:06.840 But the president gets to politically appoint 1,000-plus people to come in and serve with him and make sure his agenda is carried out at all the different agencies.

00:36:14.660 But even keeping the people that are appointed by the president, they're explicitly at the appointment of the White House.

00:36:20.900 During the first term I can tell you that there were a lot of D.C. swamp creatures that made their way into President Trump's first administration.

00:36:26.560 And it was even the political appointees that were undermining him, but to your bigger point, Steve, if you work in the executive branch, if you're a bureaucrat somewhere, your ultimate boss, if you care about that pesky little thing called the Constitution, is the president of the United States, and the president is Donald J. Trump.

00:36:41.260 And if you're a bureaucrat in the executive branch, you're there to carry out his agenda.

00:36:44.400 One of the most striking differences between the first term and the second is that those years in the wilderness, people were at work, not just in the policies, but also the people.

00:36:52.680 You get 3,000 people you can get on board as soon as they get a security clearance day one, 1,000 basically have to get confirmed by the Senate.

00:37:00.540 And this confirmation by the Senate, right now, President Trump put out a true social last night about eight U.S. attorneys that he can't get in in blue states because of this concept of the blue slip.

00:37:11.940 I don't think President Trump's calling for that to go away.

00:37:14.000 I don't think it's going to go away, Mr. President.

00:37:15.640 It's a custom and tradition to stick with.

00:37:17.200 But John Thune ought to call a real recess, which they've never had for one day of President Trump's first term or second term.

00:37:24.600 The reason is Mitch McConnell and the writers in the Senate don't trust President Trump on a recess appointment.

00:37:30.040 Right now, Thune needs to, you know, next week to get Johnson, since the House is out and Johnson said he support this, to actually call it a formal recess.

00:37:39.500 And let's get these recess appointments, particularly these U.S. attorneys. 1.00

00:37:42.640 And I'm going to show you why.

00:37:43.540 We've got Matt Palumbo up.

00:37:45.200 We've got a cold open from the one aspect I can tell you they're driving, driving, driving is this investigation of the deep state, the investigation of what happened, the conspiracy in the first term, and particularly now Antifa and everything associated with Antifa.

00:37:59.420 You've got the Treasury Department on this.

00:38:01.500 You've got the IRS on this.

00:38:03.240 We've got Matt Palumbo, who's the specialist in Soros and the devil spawned the sun.

00:38:08.940 Let's go and play the clip and bring Matt Palumbo on.

00:38:10.980 The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the White House is planning to install true Trump loyalists in the IRS criminal unit for the not sole purpose, but one of the reasons is to target left leaning groups.

00:38:26.220 What do you make of this?

00:38:27.040 It sounds very familiar.

00:38:30.300 And, you know, we've been hearing rumors about this and reports.

00:38:33.040 I think Jeff and his team at Reuters did a story a week ago about targeting these left wing groups.

00:38:37.960 And when I hear this, my mind immediately went back to Watergate, actually.

00:38:43.200 You know, everybody remembers that there was bugging.

00:38:45.380 You know, that was, you know, they were bugging the Democratic headquarters back then.

00:38:48.060 But, you know, there were many other crimes involved with Watergate.

00:38:51.000 And one of the big ones was Nixon and his henchmen sending a list of enemies over to the IRS and asking them to go investigate.

00:38:58.440 I mean, that was a big that was one of the articles.

00:38:59.920 It was part of the articles of impeachment.

00:39:01.620 One of the things that led to his resignation.

00:39:03.480 Now, of course, that was a very different time because at that time when that list came over to the IRS, the people, they didn't act on it.

00:39:12.280 And, in fact, and then eventually, you know, Republican members of Congress stood up and said, this is one of the reasons, Mr. President, you're going to lose an impeachment vote.

00:39:19.420 You need to resign.

00:39:21.000 Now we're talking about him putting his henchmen in an IRS.

00:39:24.860 So if he sends that list over, I think there's a really good chance they actually do prosecute.

00:39:28.840 And we see this play out exactly the way we stopped it from playing out in the 1970s.

00:39:34.980 By the way, in Texas, they keep saying the mainstream media, oh, Antifa is just a bunch of kids.

00:39:38.860 You know, they dress up in Pepe things and alligators in Portland.

00:39:42.940 They're just dancing in the streets.

00:39:44.240 They're flower children.

00:39:45.960 Yeah.

00:39:46.060 Tell that to the families of the ICE agents that were shot by alleged Antifa activists just within the last month here in the Lone Star State.

00:39:54.620 No, that's complete nonsense.

00:39:55.700 And I'm sick and tired of the mainstream media not just running interference for the Marxist progressive leftists.

00:40:00.280 They're now running interference and basically covering for domestic terrorists in this country.

00:40:04.020 It's beyond reprehensible.

00:40:05.940 No, and by the way, I think you've had two incidents.

00:40:07.860 You had the one on the roof and you had the other one with the agents.

00:40:10.540 I mean, until Antifa is put down, they're going to continue on.

00:40:14.940 The best way and smartest way to do it is not run after all the gunmen and you're just playing whack-a-mole.

00:40:20.400 The way to do it is not just go to the training element, which is in the national security apparatus and, quite frankly, in the military.

00:40:26.240 The best way to do it is to go after the money in the organization.

00:40:29.780 Matt Palumbo, you have spent your career.

00:40:32.080 You're Dan Bongino's guy.

00:40:33.580 You run the Bongino site.

00:40:35.120 You've been his producer for years.

00:40:37.020 You wrote this amazing book on Soros.

00:40:39.620 I still think the best book on Soros written. 0.90

00:40:41.420 And immediately he told me, he said, hey, I'm going after the kid because he's the devil's spawn.

00:40:46.100 It may actually be bigger than the old man.

00:40:48.560 Where do we stand with this now, the shocking?

00:40:51.020 Because, hey, the Treasury Department's got their terrorist financing group up on money laundering and terrorist financing and the IRS simultaneously.

00:40:59.160 It's a pincer move from Scott Besson.

00:41:01.860 And you can tell how important this is because the mainstream media is in total meltdown of this probably more than anything else they're dealing with.

00:41:08.980 Well, good morning, guys.

00:41:10.740 Thanks for having me on.

00:41:11.880 Alex and the OSF clearly are afraid.

00:41:15.260 They're in defense mode.

00:41:17.460 You know, in their press releases, they're saying they didn't knowingly fund any violent groups.

00:41:23.600 And I think the word knowingly is doing a lot of the heavy lifting in that sentence.

00:41:28.800 But it's also irrelevant.

00:41:31.260 You know, they're arguing that, oh, we're not directly paying people to do violence.

00:41:35.080 It doesn't mean anything if groups have a record of doing violence.

00:41:38.720 You know, the analogy I've given is they will hand gasoline and matches to an arsonist and then say, well, we couldn't have possibly known it was going to go on there.

00:41:48.720 And Alex cited a New York Times article that made that exact argument.

00:41:53.740 And they had claimed that a recent report from the Capital Research Center, which does profiles on left-wing groups, had made that exact claim.

00:42:02.660 There's no evidence of any direct funding.

00:42:05.900 And, you know, I read the report, and I'll read directly from it.

00:42:09.700 The Open Society Foundation, since 2016, gave $80 million to pro-terror groups.

00:42:16.040 And this is split between groups that are themselves going out and committing acts of violence or are making light of violence, doing propaganda for groups like Hamas to downplay their atrocities or providing legal aid, you know, free legal aid to these protesters.

00:42:32.040 And we talked in the last show how Alex had used environmentalist groups sort of as a front for other left-wing causes in that he had authorized over $438 million in new spending to environmental groups ever since he took over.

00:42:49.260 But that's only a small percentage of what they actually do.

00:42:52.720 They're sort of a catch-all for left-wing activism.

00:42:56.180 And a lot of the Palestinian groups he funded are in that pro-terror category, where regardless of your position on the Israel-Palestine conflict, even if you are, you know, someone on the right who is more sympathetic to the Palestinians, it's no doubt that these left-wing groups are really anti-American groups.

00:43:13.840 And that is just their front issue.

00:43:15.420 We saw that with them, their number one issue being, well, we want a ceasefire, and then the second we get a ceasefire, I don't think Rashida Tlaib had posted on Twitter for a couple days after that even happened, never mentioned it.

00:43:28.020 Most of these groups calling for a ceasefire now never mentioned it, did not give Trump any credit because they didn't really care about that issue.

00:43:35.520 That was just the rallying cry, but they have a million other little things they want to do.

00:43:39.340 Now, when it comes to other things the IRS could look into, and we talked about this in the last show, in the last chapter of my book on Alex that comes out in about two weeks, I looked into all of the groups in the U.S. that he had funded the year he took over the OSF, which is the most recent year we have data.

00:43:59.980 And I looked at groups, and it's over $500,000 in funding, and there are a number of groups that are set up basically to give plausible deniability.

00:44:09.000 They are in this sort of funds of funds category where he will give $10 million to a group, and I'll go through the social media, their YouTube, their website.

00:44:18.680 There is no activity, no press releases, no news of anything they're doing, but they present themselves as active groups.

00:44:27.140 And then you go through their financials, their public statements, and all their operations are giving money to other groups.

00:44:33.980 And then their expenses will be $100 a year.

00:44:37.640 It's just things that don't add up.

00:44:39.240 And he is layering the funds so that you cannot, in those cases, directly link him to anything.

00:44:45.800 And his father had done this with the Tides Foundation for forever, basically, or the Rockefeller groups.

00:44:52.440 But his son is doing it to a much greater degree.

00:44:56.340 Can you hang on for a second?

00:44:57.500 I want to hold you into the next break.

00:45:00.900 I want to talk about the $80 million that's already gone to pro-terror groups, right, in the word.

00:45:05.920 When their lawyers send out a release that's been chopped and they go, knowingly, right?

00:45:11.420 You've already seen them.

00:45:12.520 It's $80 million for catering.

00:45:13.780 Exactly.

00:45:14.140 They're already laying their illegal defense.

00:45:17.660 They know they've got big problems, and they've never had Treasury come after them.

00:45:21.160 They've never had the IRS come after them.

00:45:22.900 And they've never had them come after them for money laundering and for tariff financing.

00:45:26.860 And these have very stiff penalties, as right now, Bolton is getting arraigned, I think, in Maryland, in Greenbelt, Maryland, on his 18 counts.

00:45:38.100 Each count has 10 years, so it's 180 years in prison.

00:45:41.380 We'll go into all that.

00:45:42.220 Gold's over $4,300, or it's bounced around $4,300.

00:45:45.500 Blew through it yesterday.

00:45:46.980 Find out why.

00:45:48.180 We don't talk to you about the price of gold.

00:45:49.980 It's the process.

00:45:51.540 Right now, we have two different ways you can get there, right, both free.

00:45:55.460 Maybe you start off with the ultimate guide for investing in gold and precious metals.

00:46:00.140 And remember the and precious metals.

00:46:02.560 Right now, silver has been on fire.

00:46:04.320 So go to birchgold.com, promo code WARROOM, or promo code BANNON to get the end of the dollar empire.

00:46:11.580 That's one way.

00:46:12.080 The other is just take your phone out and text BANNON, B-A-N-N-O-N, at 989898.

00:46:18.200 That gets you the ultimate guide.

00:46:19.900 Both of them will get you in contact with Philip Patrick and the team.

00:46:22.580 That's who you need to talk to.

00:46:23.740 Remember, it's the process of gold being a hedge and now shifting over.

00:46:27.440 I've got a big article from Peter Schiff up on Getter about how gold, as we've talked about it, is now becoming a significant asset class.

00:46:36.240 Back of the dollar.

00:46:37.580 Short break.

00:46:38.260 Back in the war room from Texas.

00:48:48.800 Moms for Liberty. 1.00

00:48:49.940 I don't know if there's any group that's been more at the forefront of the punch-out we've had on parents' rights and this culture, all of it.

00:48:56.820 Tina Deskovitz, Bo Davison.

00:48:58.940 Tina, you're down in Orlando today.

00:49:01.520 We're covering it nonstop here on Real America's Voice.

00:49:04.780 We're pulling out speakers.

00:49:05.880 We've got a bunch of RAV people down there.

00:49:08.020 What are you trying to accomplish?

00:49:09.540 I think this is your fourth or fifth conference.

00:49:12.180 What are you guys – I thought Trump won, and you guys helped so much in the victory.

00:49:16.100 Isn't the parents' rights fight over, ma'am?

00:49:21.200 Oh, I wish it was over, Steve.

00:49:23.200 I wish parents truly could experience the fundamental right to raise their children.

00:49:27.520 Unfortunately, it's still under attack across the country.

00:49:33.920 Can you hear it, Steve?

00:49:35.200 Yeah, I got you right now.

00:49:36.460 Perfect.

00:49:37.800 Okay.

00:49:38.240 Okay.

00:49:38.660 Go ahead, Tina.

00:49:39.920 Want me to take it away again, Steve?

00:49:41.680 Take it away again.

00:49:42.460 Yeah, I was just saying that, unfortunately, parents' rights are still under attack in America. 0.99

00:49:49.440 You would think at this point the left and the radicals would get the hint that moms are not backing down 1.00

00:49:55.660 and that we have the fundamental right to raise our children,

00:49:58.740 but it's still – school boards across the country are still stomping all over them.

00:50:02.720 Whole states are defying President Trump, and there's still a lot of work to be done.

00:50:06.560 So what is to be done?

00:50:08.040 I mean, you guys have done so much.

00:50:09.920 You're one of the key groups that delivered the victory for President Trump.

00:50:13.940 What is – we've had the first wave of attack where we started to take over school boards.

00:50:19.040 Is it pushback?

00:50:20.360 Are we losing ground?

00:50:21.700 I mean, what's the plan?

00:50:25.120 Yeah, you know, Randy Weingarten just came out with her new book.

00:50:28.240 I'm not even going to give it any more acknowledgment than that.

00:50:31.000 But she even states in there that, you know, Moms for Liberty came out strong.

00:50:36.720 We won over 500 school board seats, which, you know, sounds amazing when you say that number,

00:50:41.660 but there's 13,000 school districts in this country.

00:50:44.920 And so in her book she came back and said, we doubled down, we invested,

00:50:48.560 and they have hundreds of millions of dollars.

00:50:51.280 Moms for Liberty's budget is nothing like that. 0.98

00:50:53.220 And so we have a long way to go.

00:50:54.820 Unfortunately, this is probably going to take decades to get our schools back from the teachers' union completely.

00:51:01.320 And then, you know, there's problems at all levels of government.

00:51:03.980 California, New York right now, they're violating parental rights at every turn with state laws.

00:51:08.880 Governors are signing them into law.

00:51:10.320 And so we love President Trump, and we're grateful for all he's doing, but it's just part of the story.

00:51:15.520 Well, as you know, with the onslaught of news geopolitically, you know, Zelensky's in the White House today.

00:51:22.060 We're on the verge of war with the Russians.

00:51:23.960 We've got an economic war with the Chinese Communist Party, Venezuela, all over.

00:51:28.640 Why is what the Moms for Liberty is doing so important that you're down there covering it, 1.00

00:51:33.480 and, Rav, we're giving wall-to-wall coverage this weekend?

00:51:37.180 Well, I'll tell you this, Steve.

00:51:39.320 I became a parent 20 months ago, and so I have a young son.

00:51:43.380 And I'm lucky to be in the free state of Florida, Tina.

00:51:45.520 I thank God for that.

00:51:46.640 But I have to start thinking about these things.

00:51:48.240 You know, I've covered conferences in the past, CPACs, whatever, here and there.

00:51:51.240 But never before I've covered a conference like this when I was actually a parent.

00:51:55.400 So to me, it's an educational experience to me.

00:51:58.020 And I know that's what Moms for Liberty does is empower, educate parents. 1.00

00:52:02.200 And so, but it's not just for moms.

00:52:03.860 It's for dads, too.

00:52:04.600 I noticed there's a panel, Steve, on fatherhood, which Pastor John Amonchukwu is going to be a part of.

00:52:09.180 Benny Johnson is moderating it.

00:52:10.440 Graham Allen.

00:52:11.280 So I think it's important for people to know that it's not just about moms.

00:52:13.740 It's about the dads, too.

00:52:14.740 And Tina, I'd just like to ask you, too, what are three things that maybe me as a new parent need to be thinking about right now?

00:52:21.760 You need to think about where your child is going to go to school.

00:52:24.520 There's long wait lists right now if you want to put them in some very special private schools.

00:52:28.540 But, you know, are you prepared to homeschool?

00:52:30.060 I'd say absolutely you and your wife are probably prepared.

00:52:32.800 But you need to make those choices.

00:52:34.260 Where are you living?

00:52:35.120 Unfortunately, in a lot of places in America, outside of Florida, you still have to go to the school by your zip code, which is just unacceptable.

00:52:41.620 So, number one, where is your kid going to go to school?

00:52:44.180 Number two, get prepared to be on the front lines.

00:52:47.140 Join Moms for Liberty. 1.00

00:52:48.120 Are you a member yet?

00:52:49.600 Not yet, but it looks like I'm going to have to join.

00:52:51.500 You see, Steve, I'm learning.

00:52:52.500 Yeah.

00:52:52.840 We have dads all across the country.

00:52:54.580 Seven of our 320 chapters are actually led by dads.

00:52:57.560 So you could run the chapter in your county if you wanted to.

00:53:00.820 And I'm in Broward.

00:53:01.440 Yeah.

00:53:01.940 Oh, gosh.

00:53:02.640 Good luck with that one.

00:53:03.780 It's tough.

00:53:04.320 Broward is tough.

00:53:05.180 And so number two is, you know, get involved and get activated now so you understand the issues that are coming.

00:53:09.840 There are issues with AI, with tracking your child's data now with your two-year-old.

00:53:14.400 Is that what you said?

00:53:15.520 Almost to 20 months.

00:53:16.720 Yeah.

00:53:17.080 The government's already tracking his data.

00:53:18.900 And so Moms for Liberty can help you protect and opt out in the places that you need to opt out. 1.00

00:53:23.280 The two-year-old, two years old, you're about to go into the fun part of parenthood.

00:53:26.800 We're going to check in with Mrs. Davidson later and see what your learning curve has been like in the last couple of years, right?

00:53:32.840 You're getting guidance from Tina.

00:53:34.260 We want to talk to the source.

00:53:36.040 Tina, real quickly, talk to us today, the agenda today and tomorrow.

00:53:40.160 We're going to be covering it nonstop on Real America's Voice.

00:53:42.780 What should we look for?

00:53:43.640 Yeah, we just closed up with the Florida Attorney General James Utmeyer and Dr. Latipo, our Surgeon General, who recently banned all vaccine mandates in schools, which our moms stood to their feet and cheered for that when he was discussing that today.

00:53:59.300 So it's been a strong morning of Florida leaders.

00:54:01.820 We're moving into breakouts right now.
