Breitbart's Chief Political Editor Matt Boyle joins me in Doha, Qatar to talk about the Arab boycott of Qatar and its impact on the Middle East, and why Tucker Carlson should be allowed to be who he wants to be.
00:01:36.000Well, look, I mean, the, the, the, there, there are a lot of people out there that have questions about Qatar and things that they fund and their influence and so on and so forth.
00:01:46.000I mean, the, you know, reasonable questions, I guess.
00:01:49.000As for Tucker, obviously, Tucker's been a lightning rod as of late.
00:01:55.000The, look, I, I'm friendly with Tucker.
00:02:26.000Like, so the, so I think that a lot of the controversies and whatnot around him are, are unfair.
00:02:34.000But so I, I think that, you know, again, you've got certain people with a certain foreign policy worldview.
00:02:39.000You know, I think that want to return to the old Bush way of doing things that are out there, you know, attacking anyone that would move away from that and, you know, move towards a future that President Trump, Vice President Vance, Secretary Rubio have laid out so brilliantly.
00:03:01.000Why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why do they, look, I'm the most anti-Qatar guy around because I was the tip of the spear and trying to get it, trying to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization.
00:03:13.000As you remember, the first administration, you know, they were, they were, they were, they were in our, they were in our grill.
00:03:26.000But, but, but, but they came within 72 hours, the royal family and Qatar are being turfed out.
00:03:31.000And clearly they decided on another strategy against UAE and against Saudi people should understand the Gulf Emirates are not exactly bosom buddies.
00:03:41.000Abbott just designated the care and the Muslim Brotherhood terrorist organizations, which I think Saudi Arabia and UAE have already done, MBZ and MBS.
00:03:50.000There's still a lot of questions about Qatar, but I don't know why they're singling out Tucker Carlson.
00:04:59.000There are several other administration officials here.
00:05:03.000I believe Ambassador Barak, who is the U.S. Ambassador to Turkey, is here.
00:05:07.000So there, there, there is a strong presence from the United States here.
00:05:12.000In addition to that, as you mentioned, I interviewed on stage at the Doha Forum earlier today, the Greek foreign minister.
00:05:21.000And the, he was very complimentary of President Trump during our interview.
00:05:27.000He said that the, that the Trump administration, President Trump and his team should be praised for the things that they've done to rewrite the world order.
00:05:38.000When it comes to trade and immigration and when it comes to peace.
00:05:44.000Like, and, and, and I think that's one of the things that we're, we're hearing from people across the board here.
00:05:49.000I was at the opening ceremony of this event where CNN anchor Christian Amanpour was interviewing among others on stage.
00:05:58.000It was a big panel, but the, the prime minister here in Qatar, Sheikh Mohammed, as well as, you know, several European, and I believe there was a Turkey's foreign minister, European EU official, and there was like somebody else from Spain.
00:06:17.000First off, she mixed up the Turkish and the Spanish guy, right? Like, so, and she had to correct herself halfway through the panel on stage.
00:06:25.000It was a really embarrassing moment for CNN. And I was sitting there just shocked and in awe that Christian Amanpour would make such a silly, embarrassing mistake.
00:06:34.000Come on, dude. Come on, dude. She's lost her, she's lost her fastball. You know that. Come on.
00:06:39.000Yeah. Yeah. No, she, she, hey, I guess, I guess, I guess they all, wheeling her out to Christian, to Christian, to Christian Amanpour. They all look the same. Right. Like, but the, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. But, but, but, but that being said, Steve, she tried to goad them into attacking president Trump. And she was quoting the new national security strategy from the president.
00:07:02.000From the president and from the White House. And none of them would take the bait, not even the Spanish guy, right? Like, so the Turkish guy, the Spanish guy, the EU lady, and certainly the prime minister of Qatar, all were very supportive and, and openly, you know, backing what President Trump is doing here with regard to peace deals.
00:07:22.580And, and, and the Qataris have been a major part of trying to achieve that peace agenda that we're seeing from President Trump. You see these deals that he's got around the world.
00:07:33.340Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. We got Rabbi Walecki, you know, and he's obviously a huge supporter of Israel. He's going to come on in the second hour. Flynn's going to follow us about the national security strategy, which I found very interesting, particularly the fact that Europe's not going to exist in 20 years, civilizational collapse.
00:07:52.000But you've got the Russians overnight are pounding Ukraine like nobody's business. We're still having happy talk about Ukrainian sovereignty. Well, Licky's coming on to say, hey, look, Hamas and Israel are going at it hard every day that he doesn't really see.
00:08:07.200And they've already said they're not going to have Turkish troops. President Trump's got to wave the world on his shoulders. He's trying to get these peace deals. But you have two sides on this.
00:08:15.020They're not actually being active partners. Right. I mean, the Ukrainians still have these over the top requests. The Europeans still want the Americans to bail them out.
00:08:24.480You know, Turkey and Qatar are not going to really move on Gaza until, you know, they're not going to disarm Hamas.
00:08:30.740But Walecki brought up the fact in the 17 point U.N. resolution. It's kind of left open who's going to disarm them with all President Trump's work.
00:08:39.380And he's got good teams on this. The two sides in both of these conflicts, the kinetic part of the Third World War are pretty far apart.
00:08:46.780I mean, they're still going at each other. President Trump, I know, wants to stop the killing, stop the shooting and then cut some sort of economic deal.
00:08:53.720So people can go on and prosper. But this is what happens when you have people that have been fighting each other for thousands of years.
00:08:59.480Matt, it's not that simple. These all these people hate each other. They're going to try to take every advantage.
00:09:05.200And the United States has got to make sure with America first, you know, to like do the national security strategy, we said, hey, a pox on all their houses.
00:09:13.320Matt Boyle. Yeah. Yeah. No, Steve, I agree 100 percent.
00:09:16.680It reminds me of something that everything you just said there reminds me of something that Secretary Rubio told me at the very beginning of this administration,
00:09:22.720when they set out to start all of this before any of the peace deals that we've seen announced have come out where he talked about how it's so much easier to just keep fighting and to stay at war than it is to pursue peace, than it is to get to actual peace deals.
00:09:37.240So, yeah, they've got the Gaza deal inked and whatever. But hey, this is not over yet. Right.
00:09:43.140Like, and same thing, you know, the the Ukraine deal, hopefully on the horizon.
00:09:47.980But still, even once the deal is inked, it's it's not over until it's over. And even then it's not over. Right.
00:09:53.980Like, it's it's a lot easier to keep fighting and to keep engaging in war than it is to to to actually get to peace.
00:10:00.200And that's why I think you're seeing a lot of these people praise President Trump, because he's actually going out there and trying to solve this stuff and end these conflicts,
00:10:09.580because he doesn't want to see the killing continue. You hang on, hang on, hang on.
00:10:14.660You've got your finger on the on the pulse of the base. I mean, you did this under Tucker.
00:10:18.180You did it under Andy Breitbart. You did it under me. You're now running the deal yourself over there.
00:10:23.020You've got your finger on the base better than anybody. Isn't one of the things the base are saying, look, President Trump, we love you.
00:10:29.320You're a man of peace. You've tried to do this. You've tried to end this third world war,
00:10:33.720but you're not getting any cooperation at all from really any of the parties when it gets down to it,
00:10:39.240because they just want to keep killing each other. Do you think do you think it's time that more attention is paid domestically
00:10:45.360or you think he's doing enough right now domestically, particularly given the fact that there's a lot of restive nature about the about the coming midterms?
00:10:54.740You see in Indiana, there's still, you know, Mitch Daniels and Pence.
00:10:57.560These guys are still trying to fight us, sir.
00:11:00.120Yeah. Can both things be true here, Steve? I think that both things can be true. Right.
00:11:04.740Like, I think that he should continue to pursue peace because it's the right thing to do.
00:11:09.800And frankly, it keeps us from getting dragged into wars that are even more costly.
00:11:14.660I mean, look at the last war that we were in, which was Afghanistan, 20 years, billions and billions of dollars, you know, and countless lives.
00:11:23.260The war is – it's worse than not war, right?
00:11:30.860Like, so – and then you talk about these domestic issues that we have, right, the deindustrialization, the economic problems and whatever.
00:11:37.920If we get dragged into another war, then that's not good for the United States and for those working class people.
00:11:44.300So I think it's important that you keep the eye on both balls here, right?
00:11:48.560Like, I think you can do that if you're President Trump.
00:11:51.960Like, he's got to do a ton more domestically, economically as well.
00:11:57.280Secretary Besant keeps talking about how in the first half of next year we're going to have a major economic boom, right?
00:12:04.060Like, and a phrase I keep hearing from people across MAGA, and I've talked about this publicly, I keep hearing everybody say,
00:12:11.540and Secretary Besant we trust, right, and Scott Besant we trust.
00:12:15.020There's a lot of hope that he's right.
00:12:16.660But at the same time, there's always more you can do economically, domestically as well.
00:12:22.860So both things can be true, I think, here.
00:12:25.580But, again, the one thing I will say is that worldwide, as compared with his first term – and, again, I really encourage people.
00:12:34.760We're going to get the video up on Breitbart later today.
00:12:37.340It's evening time here in Doha, right?
00:12:39.320It's dark outside, and I'm in a dark hotel room as we're doing this.
00:12:42.700But later today on the East Coast, our video guys are working on cutting the video of my interview with the Greek foreign minister.
00:12:51.240I can tell you that Trump has really inspired people around the world, and he literally says this much in the interview, right?
00:12:59.640Like right at the open of the interview, he literally says that Trump should be commended for the changes that he's made to the world.
00:13:06.040By the way, very symbolic, Johnny Kahn, the great Johnny Kahn of Breitbart taking us out with the anthem of the Tea Party, American Heart.
00:13:13.880Matt, people are going to – you're there, I think, until Tuesday or Wednesday or something.
00:13:17.320People are going to want to follow you.
00:13:19.600The Twitter, we're on Breitbart, but particularly, is it live streaming?
00:13:23.420Can you give us quickly live streaming because they're going to want to see – you're going to do some big interviews that have not been announced yet.
00:13:48.840And I do agree with Laura Loomer that the Qataris – I think the best thing the Qataris could do, Qatar could do, is come out full open and just say, hey, look, we've had a relationship with the Muslim brother in the past.
00:14:05.980I mean, this is what the whole meeting in 2017, in May of 2017, was really to go to Riyadh and have an agreement, particularly among the Gulf Emirates, Saudi Arabia and the Emirates, to make sure that there was an agreement to stop the financing of radical jihad groups, particularly in Europe and the United States.
00:14:25.700And, obviously, in the Arab nations, too, because the Muslim Brotherhood is a threat to both the monarchy in Saudi Arabia and the royal family in the United Arab Republic.
00:16:55.840General, and particularly so many new people have come to our movement, particularly in 2024.
00:17:01.720Whole new coalitions have come, particularly to Make America Healthy Again.
00:17:04.580The show has been explosive in its growth.
00:17:07.460So there are many people maybe not familiar.
00:17:09.560They know Mike Flynn today, but may not know the background of General Flynn.
00:17:13.080General, you were one of the great warriors working from a crystal in Afghanistan, on the attack all the time, really took intel and really made it a force multiplier in combat in Afghanistan.
00:17:28.920You were head of the defense intelligence, which I actually tell people is where the pipe hitters are versus CIA.
00:17:36.420And you were probably one of the most controversial.
00:17:38.540You got into with President Obama right off the bat.
00:17:40.580You were President Trump's advisor early on.
00:17:43.900I remember we got you a meeting, I think, in August or September of 2015 to go up and advise the president and start talking about geopolitics and national security strategy.
00:17:53.900Then you were his first national security advisor.
00:17:56.300And one of the reasons they came after you so hard was your war against the deep state.
00:18:00.780But a lot of it's focused on the fact that you knew the Muslim Brotherhood and radical jihad better than anybody.
00:18:09.720I mean, I have no problem with people going there for a conference.
00:18:12.180The Qataris are clearly, you know, underwriting the development in Gaza, et cetera.
00:18:17.340But it is not lost to me, even if President Trump designated the Muslim Brotherhood, which you know because you work with me on this.
00:18:24.540We got no traction at all in the first term.
00:18:27.900Now President Trump's actually done it.
00:18:30.100But it's looking at Egypt, Jordan, Syria, when really Turkey and Qatar are the big issues.
00:18:36.320Should Qatar just come forward and have a complete just, you know, open it up and explain what their relationship has been with the Muslim Brotherhood and radical groups in the past and show people today that you cannot question it, that they no longer support finance or supply logistics to radical jihad?
00:18:57.460And I'm not talking about allowing the Taliban or allowing Hamas to be headquartered there and to do negotiations.
00:19:03.980I'm talking about something far deeper, which is really logistical, financial support of radical jihad throughout the world, sir.
00:19:12.820Qatar is the foundation, Steve, of a large terrorist organization and network globally.
00:19:21.900And so one of the things that they're going to have to do, and Trump is the guy to do it, is to basically disavow themselves from the Muslim Brotherhood, which I don't believe that they'll ever do.
00:19:31.760The other thing, one of the pieces of Qatar is that they have the Al Jazeera network, and Al Jazeera was always the mouthpiece for Al Qaeda, ISIS, you know, you name the organization, and Al Jazeera continues to be the mouthpiece for them, as well as many other left-leaning European-based outlets, too.
00:19:50.800So the financial, the logistic, the command and control, all of the sort of military terminology that runs commands and basically provides intent and vision for a global network emanates right there in Qatar for a large swath of some of the problems that we're facing today.
00:20:10.920Hamas, Hezbollah, Al Qaeda, the cooperation between, you know, if you get into the weeds about the different ideologies within the Arab mind, right, Sunna versus Shia, et cetera.
00:20:25.580I mean, Qatar is whatever, 650,000 people that sit on a trillion-dollar budget, right, I mean, or more.
00:20:32.300So it is a very powerful piece of geography and ideology.
00:20:38.660And they've infiltrated the American education system, whether it's New York City Public Schools, whether it's New York City Public Schools.
00:20:44.960I mean, for a group, we've got to remember history here.
00:20:48.900They were within 72 hours of extinction in June of 2018.
00:20:54.520When we got back from that Riyadh meeting where they just threw down hard and said we're not going to do this, UAE and the Saudis came within 72 hours of removing the royal family, and they took a lesson from that.
00:21:08.480We somehow have to get engaged with the West.
00:21:11.740My point is if you really want to do it, and I know people are trying to work with them and say, hey, look, if you really want to do it, we've got to stop playing games.
00:21:18.660President Trump, as you remember, Mike, would say no games, no games.
00:21:21.520Here it does seem like at one level it might be a game, and we have to have absolute, complete transparency on their – they told us no, essentially, in May of 17.
00:21:34.340I think they need to be much more open and talk about these networks, and they disavowed involvement.
00:21:42.480This whole thing with the American education system, this whole situation in Texas, which, as you know, I know you're getting involved.
00:21:48.740I'm involved in the situation in Florida.
00:21:51.260We just need to have – if they want to be a broker of peace and assist President Trump, if they want to do something in Gaza, they can't be at the same time be underwriting terrorism in Europe and the United States, sir.
00:22:06.160I don't mind what they do in their country, whatever they want to do in their country.
00:22:08.740What I don't want is I don't want them to do it inside of our country.
00:22:11.740I do not want their ideology, and I do not want their money being poured into our undergraduate and graduate-level programs here to the tune of billions of dollars a year to change a mindset, a cultural mindset in the United States of America.
00:22:27.120So, you know, if Qatar – do what you want to do.
00:22:29.540But, you know, all these other countries overseas, we have to deal with China because China is a, you know, is a big nation, right?
00:22:39.240We have to deal with China, but I don't want the Chinese ideology here in America.
00:22:43.460I don't want their Marxist-Communist ideology here in America.
00:22:46.000I don't want this Islamist ideology here in America.
00:22:50.580America has our own culture and our own way, our own constitutional system.
00:22:55.260We don't want Sharia law in this country.
00:22:56.960I mean, if Trump can get that message across and then make the changes that are necessary here inside – because I know one of the things we wanted to talk a little bit about was the national security strategy, which I think is very externally focused.
00:23:10.300I mean, he's got some things where he talks about securing the border and economic, you know, freedom and some of the things that he had to talk about internally.
00:23:19.680But the national security strategy that the president just came out with and just signed off on is really a very globally focused strategy.
00:23:28.180And that's not what the American people want.
00:23:29.700The American people want what is best for America.
00:23:32.200And we have to stop this idea of, you know, what I call and what I wrote about here just recently in this long march through the institutions.
00:23:40.680So how has this country got – the United States now talking about how do we get to where we are, Steve?
00:23:46.820We got here because there is a long march of not only bureaucrats but Marxists and neo-Marxists and Marxism inside of our system of government, inside of our agencies, activities, departments, whatever, inside of our government.
00:24:00.920And that includes all branches of government, judiciary, legislative, and executive branch.
00:24:06.980And that long march has been going on for 50 years or more.
00:24:14.840So, you know, we can talk about Qatar.
00:24:17.180But Trump, what he's got to do is he's got to stop this madness about allowing these – it's not just Qatar.
00:24:22.320It's China and particularly China because they're the big dog.
00:24:25.800It's all these overseas elements that breed and spew communism, that, you know, breed and spew Marxism, that breed and spew Islamism.
00:24:34.780Let me take it another way just for a second because first off, if Grace and Moe – let's push out – General Flynn wrote a very long, detailed analytical piece about the national security strategy.
00:24:45.820If Elizabeth and Moe and Grace can also push out President Trump's – it's 33 pages long.
00:24:50.960Everybody in the war and posse this weekend must read it.
00:25:01.840We're going to do a whole week of people coming on and giving different perspectives of it.
00:25:05.200On one level, it's absolutely amazing.
00:25:07.540But he does put Europe at the very end.
00:25:11.400And in Europe, it's one of the most brutal assessments of Europe in a reality check.
00:25:15.880He says, look, I don't know in 20 years.
00:25:18.700We don't know if there's even going to be a civil – these NATO allies, if they're even going to be around and control their countries.
00:25:24.320You're seeing the potential for civilizational collapse in Europe.
00:25:28.640I think one thing that struck me and I think it struck you and others that are big supporters of President Trump is that what's happened in Europe is very much happening here in the United States in a very early stage.
00:25:47.000Neo-Marxist with Islamists in the institutions of our government, in the educational institutions, in the corporations, in law enforcement, in intelligence.
00:25:58.660And that's the part that's not in the national strategy memo.
00:26:01.400It doesn't really talk about the national strategy of the United States going forward in regards to this deep state takeover, sir.
00:26:09.200Yeah, if we were alive in the 1500s and 1600s, Steve, we'd be having the same goddamn conversation, just from a different viewpoint, the way things existed back then.
00:26:36.060The reshaping of the European continent is taking place before our very eyes.
00:26:41.980And there is a massive, massive split between the globalists and those that want nationalism in their own countries, those that want to protect their own sovereignty.
00:26:51.360Matt Boyle talked about the interview with the Greek, I think the foreign minister, he said, and, you know, how they're like, they love Donald Trump because Trump is fighting for national sovereignty.
00:27:02.100Trump is fighting for something that the European Union wants to get rid of.
00:27:05.740And so that's why I think the European Union is something that probably, you know, and again, these are big institutions.
00:28:00.480He's our wise man, a former CIA, Pentagon, and White House advisor with an unmatched grasp of geopolitics and capital markets.
00:28:08.480Jim predicted Trump's Electoral College victory exactly 312 to 226, down to the actual number itself.
00:28:17.860Now he's issuing a dire warning about April 11th, a moment that could define Trump's presidency in your financial future.
00:28:24.900His 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.
00:28:37.100Right now, war room members get a free copy of Money GPT when they sign up for Strategic Intelligence.
00:28:43.260This is Jim's flagship financial newsletter, Strategic Intelligence.
00:29:17.740They'll put out, the Pentagon will put out, the Department of War will put out, we'll take the overall strategy and then put out a military strategy around it.
00:29:26.780One of the biggest things is hemispheric defense.
00:29:28.880He goes out of his way to talk about hemispheric defense, particularly the Trump corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, which is full-spectrum dominance in Latin America.
00:29:39.480And I think he's seen from Argentina to Venezuela, maybe some questions of what's happening in Brazil, but you're starting to see that.
00:29:45.920Overall, net-net, I know you've got another piece coming out today.
00:29:48.640Is your biggest issue that it's a good strategy, good start for Trump to be looking at all these hot spots in Eurasian landmass and a pivot back here to the hemisphere?
00:30:01.020But your concern is there's not enough focus on the deep state here and what you really have to do to secure?
00:30:08.020Because those are the guys coming after Trump the worst.
00:30:28.140Number one, the national security strategy that the president just signed off on, it's focused more globally, externally than it is internally.
00:30:36.540And I'll address some of that here in a second.
00:30:39.460I think it is a good forward-facing document.
00:30:42.560It basically says to the world, America is ready to lead again.
00:30:49.820I think that the issue about Europe that we talked about in the last segment is something that people need to pay very close attention to.
00:30:56.620Let's see if Trump actually follows through.
00:30:58.500I do think that one of the things that it falls short on is a lot of this ideological stuff that's going on here in the United States, right?
00:31:05.920The ideological pressure, the media manipulation that we have, you know, the idea of this Marxism and neo-Marxism ideology that is definitely inside and has infiltrated into the institutions of our government.
00:31:18.760There's not enough discussion about how the president of the United States in this national security strategy, which should be both foreign and domestic, has to deal with.
00:31:27.040You know, we have many, many compromised oversight systems, as an example.
00:31:30.680We have a very, very complex election system and technologies.
00:31:35.500And people in this country are like still going, what the hell is going on?
00:31:41.100I need to care about my country right here and whether or not we have a free and fair election.
00:31:45.740So one of the things that we did, and we actually wrote a national security strategy as part of an institute that I'm part of, the Gold Institute for International Strategy.
00:31:55.900And I like to think that it drove some of what the White House has in this current document.
00:32:01.060And you mentioned the national defense strategy, which I know has been being worked in parallel.
00:32:06.680And it'll likely be out here in another week or two.
00:32:09.420Maybe it'll come out right after the holidays.
00:32:11.980So we have to pay very close attention to that.
00:32:13.800Something that I want to put a finger, you know, a fingertip on or a poke in the chest on with Matt Boyle, and people that I hear say this a lot.
00:32:23.600Steve, war is the norm in human history.
00:32:37.620When you have these machines that require submission by the American people called the military industrial complex, the intelligence community complex, you know, NATO is another military industrial complex.
00:32:51.100You know, you got to have Russia out there.
00:32:53.300I mean, there's a lot of there's a lot of things going on right now globally that we can we can basically stop or or or, you know, shut down to a to a period for a period of time and say, OK, what is it that we want to do?
00:33:09.720Trump, I really firmly believe that if Trump doesn't refocus and I mean refocus in a very, very determined way right here at home in the next couple of months, if not the next year, we're going to lose the midterm elections and and Katie bar the door.
00:33:25.000Now, now we're now we're in a place where and that's why I wrote these these this two part series.
00:33:30.420Part of it is already published out there.
00:33:33.040I'm going to I'm going to push another one out here today.
00:33:35.580I mean, we have to we have to regain who we are as a nation, Steve.
00:33:41.960And that's what you've been harping on all the time.
00:33:44.540These people, these organizations, these structures, these big structures, they want you know, they want us to they want to drive us into submission.
00:33:52.740America and to your audience, Steve, and directly to your audience, we are at an inflection point in history.
00:33:58.680If Donald J. Trump does not understand that and does not get this right, we're screwed and we will move in a on a different path towards what these Marxists want us to move towards.
00:34:10.080And this axis of alliance, they call it the red green alliance.
00:34:13.640Yeah, this I call it the axis of resistance.
00:34:16.300The main body is right here in the United States of America inside of our government.
00:34:24.020I think people around him have got to take more action on this.
00:34:26.220We try to do this every day and highlight it.
00:34:27.980And it's like Washington at the birth of the nation or winning the revolution, getting our independence in the birth of the nation, which were all three separate things, inner shirkably link, linking at the rebirth of the nation and Trump at the at the reclamation of the nation, reclaiming its greatness.
00:35:10.500I want to do one thing where we're here to talk about the deep state.
00:35:12.540We got a clip on Pete Hegseth, and I want to make a statement that you can tell when somebody is effective when the deep state comes after him.
00:35:21.500Pete Hegseth, there's an onslaught about Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of War, that I've only seen in my involvement in politics, I don't know, the last 15, 20 years, is against Mike Flynn.
00:35:39.240You wrote, Pete Hegseth, however, was elected by no one.
00:35:42.720He's an unprofessional and sometimes unstable appointee who does not seem to comprehend the seriousness of the office he occupies, does not respect the senior officers who serve this country, and does not seem to care at all about the people of the U.S. military, except that he's worried that too many of them are fat or women.
00:35:57.660Hegseth is unqualified and incompetent, and he should have been fired months ago, end quote.
00:36:02.240Arguably, he should have never been put in the job, and there were people who had reservations and misgivings then who seemed to sort of overlook them and say, well, you know what, we're going to give this one to Trump.
00:36:12.500He's turning out to be not just a danger, but deadly.
00:36:14.780Hegseth was the most dangerous and incompetent of all of the dangerous and incompetent appointees, and, you know, the list goes on, not just Patel and Noam, but Kennedy and Gabbard and so many others.
00:36:30.940I mean, this really is just a clown car.
00:36:33.500I think that's Nichols, that he actually was an instructor at the Naval War College.
00:36:39.340I do not understand why Milley has not been recalled to active duty, why Kelly has not been recalled to active duty, court-martialed, and I don't understand why this guy's sucking down a pension from the U.S. government.
00:36:49.980Another very dangerous guy, totally out of line.
00:36:54.220General Flynn, your thoughts, and I tell you, last night we were going to cut a cold open, but I said let's push the cold open,
00:37:00.560because virtually all last night on MSNBC and CNN is just a complete beatdown on the Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth.
00:44:36.600Get the ultimate guide for investing in gold and precious metals in the age of Trump.
00:44:40.220And this is the age of Trump, not the era of Trump, the age of Trump.
00:44:42.920Because there's a lot going on between the crypto meltdown, the AI potential bubble that all is to be seen, and a lot of issues with AI, but also a lot of possibilities, a lot of promise.
00:45:01.140We've got to make sure we get the promise and mitigate the downside, which could be a bottomless pitted downside.
00:45:06.220But you'll find out why gold has been a hedge for 5,000 years of man's recorded history.
00:45:15.260Talk to the team of Philip Patrick and team.
00:45:17.620And remember, when you read the strategy, they laid out right there, vital national security interest of the United States is to remain, the dollar to remain as the prime reserve currency, as the BRICS nations and the CCP and others try to de-dollarize.
00:45:33.920You'll understand that concept when you go get birchgold.com, promo code Bannon, into the dollar empire.
00:46:05.680With all the grief that it comes from being in Congress, and I call it the Duma now because under Johnson, it doesn't, Speaker Johnson doesn't really accomplish a lot.
00:46:13.920Why would you decide to leave business and in your private endeavors and go into the snake pit of elective politics, sir?
00:46:22.340Well, first, thanks for having me, Steve.
00:46:26.340As you said, I'm a longtime war room posse member, and, you know, there's a philosophy on war room, next man up.
00:46:33.780And President Trump needs real fighters, people from the real world, not people in D.C. looking to pad their resumes to find their next job, you know, post-Trump.
00:46:45.180But people that are ready to man the ramparts, to fight, and to fight now.
00:46:50.840And, you know, this isn't something that I was ever looking to do.
00:46:55.500Running for elected office is not something that I'm, you know, have kind of engineered my life around.
00:47:02.560I was very successful and very happy in private life.
00:47:07.420But, you know, for such a time as this, and the time is now.
00:47:12.500Why the – you've never run for any elective office.
00:47:18.320What do you think you can accomplish for MAGA, America First, President Trump, and the Republic in the House of Representatives, sir?
00:47:27.240Well, one of the things that's very frustrating for those of us out in the real world is how when it matters, there's nobody in the House,
00:47:36.680or there aren't enough people in the House, I should say, that will stand up and fight and will carry the America's First Forward agenda forward.
00:47:45.320One of the other issues that's very important to me is defending capitalism.
00:47:50.720And there's too many people in government that don't understand the private sector.
00:47:54.860They don't understand the power of capitalism.
00:47:56.760They don't understand its connection to freedom and to what made America great.
00:48:02.320And, you know, starting from our founding, from the Virginia plan under James Madison, revenue starts in the House.
00:48:08.980Understanding, you know, budgeting and taxation, it starts in the House of Representatives.
00:48:22.340We have, you know, whether it's big pharma or the distribution of pharmaceuticals in the drug industry, you know, pharmaceutical industry, the drug stores you've got, whether it's big media, the lords of easy money on Wall Street, the tech bros out in Silicon Valley, artificial intelligence.
00:48:37.380Everywhere you look, the medical profession, you've got these massive organizations that are merging together and becoming kind of co-partners with big governments.
00:48:51.120How do you intend to give access to American citizens to not just free market capitalism but entrepreneurial capitalism in the House of Representatives, sir?
00:49:02.480Well, I think that's a great question, Steve.
00:49:06.220And one of the things that is important that I think is not discussed enough is the financialization of the American economy in the modern era.
00:49:17.140So much of what the government does and what these big corporations do, you know, run through the big banks and run through the investment banks on Wall Street.
00:49:25.720And, you know, you spent time there, you understand what it's like, you know, going all the way back to the end of the 90s, you know, when we allowed the commercial banks and the investment banks to become behemoths that then became, you know, too big to fail as we use.
00:49:44.300I mean, there should be no concept of too big to fail in a true free market capitalist economy.
00:49:51.960And capitalism, as far as I'm concerned, is entrepreneurship.
00:49:55.860It's the ability for people to start businesses and build lives around those businesses, have something to pass on to their children, and to build, you know, lives for other people.
00:50:07.740That doesn't come from gigantic companies merging with each other.
00:50:12.080I wish NVIDIA all the success in the world, but the share price of NVIDIA is not what matters to the people shopping at the H-E-B grocery store in Magnolia, Texas.
00:50:57.480You're down in Houston, and, of course, the Republican apparatus in the imperial capital of Washington is very tough, and Texas is tough, too.
00:51:15.880We're going to win this seat, and we're going to take the fight to them.
00:51:19.820I am ready, and I have spent my life getting up in their grill, as you would say.
00:51:24.900And I have no reason to be doing this other than to fight, and this is very much a spiritual war, and I feel called to this, and I'm going back there for no other reason than to fight.
00:51:42.960So if I'm not prepared to fight, why would I be doing it?
00:51:57.700Rabbi Pesach Oeleki is also going to join us from Jerusalem with some discussion about what's happening in the peace deal with Israel in Hamas.
00:52:08.320All of that to come next hour in the world.
