Bannon's War Room - Episode 5104： Live On The Ground In Minneapolis; Trump Cabinet Meeting

00:00:00.000 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.

00:00:07.000 Pray for our enemies,

00:00:09.000 because we're going medieval on these people.

00:00:12.000 You're just not going to get a free shot

00:00:14.000 at all these networks lying about the people.

00:00:17.000 The people have had a belly full of it.

00:00:19.000 I know you don't like hearing that.

00:00:20.000 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that,

00:00:22.000 but you're not going to stop it.

00:00:23.000 It's going to happen.

00:00:24.000 And where do people like that go to share the big lie?

00:00:27.000 Mega Media.

00:00:29.000 I wish in my soul.

00:00:31.000 I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

00:00:34.000 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

00:00:38.000 If that answer is to save my country,

00:00:41.000 this country will be saved.

00:00:44.000 War Room.

00:00:45.000 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

00:00:52.000 Okay, Thursday, 29 January, Year of our Lord 2026.

00:00:55.000 One more time, Caroline Jeffords, Kurt Olson, Cleta Mitchell.

00:00:58.000 The favoritos, Tamara and Garland, Jason Frazier, Dr.

00:01:04.000 Jan Johnston from the Georgia election board.

00:01:08.000 And obviously Sally Grubbs and many, many, many more volunteers.

00:01:13.000 Hundreds, hundreds of maybe thousands that have worked on this.

00:01:18.000 Yesterday was a huge day and we were never gotten there without you.

00:01:21.000 And so now it's time to press on.

00:01:23.000 It's a criminal investigation as the FBI informs me.

00:01:26.000 And so they are taking this obviously very seriously.

00:01:29.000 If you saw the search warrant, it's quite detailed.

00:01:32.000 We're going to have more on that.

00:01:34.000 Also Ben Burkwam is going to join us in a moment.

00:01:36.000 We're going to go to the cabinet meeting in a moment.

00:01:38.000 Burkwam asked a magnificent.

00:01:39.000 Burkwam, I'm so proud today.

00:01:41.000 He's so well-trained.

00:01:42.000 His question was magnificent.

00:01:45.000 I told him at the time it was amazing.

00:01:47.000 And all that sea of people making huge money.

00:01:51.000 Ben Burkwam cut to the chase with Holman.

00:01:53.000 And look, the president's trying to not accommodate.

00:01:57.000 He's trying to be open and say, tell me what you got.

00:01:59.000 And all they're doing is slapping him in the face.

00:02:01.000 Fry and Ellison just see him on, on MSNBC last night.

00:02:05.000 They're, they're a sanctuary city.

00:02:07.000 They're not going to force any immigration laws.

00:02:09.000 Ellison couldn't have been ruder last night.

00:02:12.000 And, and, and remember what Holman said is that I had a good meeting with Ellison.

00:02:16.000 He went there.

00:02:17.000 He's good.

00:02:18.000 And he may, he may.

00:02:19.000 Why don't we throw him in.

00:02:20.000 What do you mean?

00:02:21.000 He may Tom brother.

00:02:23.000 He may.

00:02:24.000 That's a violation of federal law.

00:02:26.000 Let's go in and roll him up.

00:02:27.000 Let's roll up the guys in charge of the prisons. 0.98

00:02:29.000 Give it a time.

00:02:30.000 Give it a day or two.

00:02:31.000 But may they, if they don't do it.

00:02:34.000 Go roll them up, brother.

00:02:37.000 You're trying to be accommodating.

00:02:39.000 I got it.

00:02:40.000 I got it.

00:02:41.000 And the targeted enforcement, we got to see them on the streets.

00:02:44.000 The roving patrols in the streets work.

00:02:47.000 You know why we had 2 million self deport.

00:02:51.000 That's the best solution is say they figured, Hey, I can't, I can't do this anymore.

00:02:55.000 All the freebies are gone, right?

00:02:57.000 All the freebies are gone.

00:02:58.000 I can't use the healthcare.

00:02:59.000 I can't use anything.

00:03:00.000 Um, and so it's just, it's absolutely terrible.

00:03:03.000 But what is the, uh, is Ben Burquam?

00:03:05.000 Hey, uh, Ben, I got, I got Matt Boyle.

00:03:07.000 I got to get to Boyle.

00:03:08.000 Do we have his clip that we can play?

00:03:10.000 Let's play.

00:03:11.000 Let's play the clip.

00:03:12.000 Cause I want to get ball starts too.

00:03:13.000 This is Ben Burquam at the press conference of Tom Holman today.

00:03:17.000 Let's go and let it roll.

00:03:18.000 First off, uh, Ben Burquam real America's voice news on behalf of the American people.

00:03:22.000 I just want to say thank you to you and to all of the agents that are putting their lives on the line to go after the people that were allowed in in the last administration.

00:03:29.000 We watched that happen in the media, the honest media, covered up by many of the media that are behind me.

00:03:34.000 We want to say thank you.

00:03:35.000 And to all the men and women that are out there.

00:03:37.000 Uh, can you talk to us about what's being done, uh, with the leadership on these signal chats, on these, uh, WhatsApp chats that are organizing the attacks against you?

00:03:46.000 Uh, the obstructing obstruction against you.

00:03:48.000 Are there, are we going to be arresting those individuals as well?

00:03:51.000 And to the folks out there in America that voted for this, that want mass deportations because they saw a mass invasion under Joe Biden.

00:04:00.000 What would you say to them?

00:04:02.000 How are we going to get to that point?

00:04:04.000 Well, first of all, about the, the, the organization and the funding of the attacks on ice.

00:04:14.000 I'm not going to answer a lot about that because I'm not going to show our hand, but they'll be held accountable.

00:04:19.000 Justice is coming.

00:04:21.000 Um, again, we gotta, we gotta all remember why, why the questions we've seen and why we're here.

00:04:30.000 What started this?

00:04:31.000 Four years of an open border where millions of people are letting this country unvetted. 0.99

00:04:37.000 Remember, let's not forget for four years, we were told the border is secure.

00:04:41.000 And we all knew it wasn't.

00:04:44.000 And, and, and I want this to be a positive thing we're doing here today.

00:04:50.000 I also want to remember the politicians are continually attacking us.

00:04:55.000 Where were they the last four years?

00:05:00.000 When the number of women, children, sex traffic went all time high. 1.00

00:05:05.000 Where were they when a quarter million Americans died from fentanyl coming across the border?

00:05:09.000 Where were they?

00:05:11.000 When women and children are dying, making that journey. 0.96

00:05:16.000 Where were they?

00:05:17.000 Where were they?

00:05:18.000 Where were they?

00:05:19.000 Where were they?

00:05:20.000 Where were they?

00:05:21.000 Where were they?

00:05:22.000 Where were they?

00:05:23.000 Where were they?

00:05:24.000 Not a word.

00:05:25.000 Now we're just trying to respond to what happened the last four years and keeping this country safe.

00:05:31.000 And we're arresting a lot of public safety threats to take them off the streets, which makes this country safer.

00:05:40.000 President Trump promised to make this country safe again.

00:05:42.000 And that's what we're doing.

00:05:44.000 But my three, two and a half days up here, we made a lot of progress.

00:05:49.000 I think everybody agrees on the criminal and public safety threats.

00:05:52.000 They agree it's much safer and easier to arrest an alien in the facility than send a whole team out in the field that's going to draw anger.

00:06:03.000 Because now we've got to send a bunch of people to do something that could have been done by one or two people.

00:06:07.000 And I've said this for years.

00:06:09.000 I have no ill will to anybody in Minnesota, all the people I talked to.

00:06:18.000 We're never going to agree on everything.

00:06:20.000 We have different philosophies and different opinions on immigration, but we all agree.

00:06:25.000 This is a way to go to reduce safety, reduce crime, not reduce safety, reduce crime and increase safety for our operations.

00:06:37.000 More people in the jail means less people on the street.

00:06:41.000 It's simple math.

00:06:44.000 Boyle, I'm going to go to you.

00:06:45.000 I'm so proud.

00:06:46.000 Ben Burkwam, magnificent question.

00:06:48.000 I'll take some more credit for the formation of Ben as a great reporter.

00:06:52.000 Boyle, you went through the process.

00:06:54.000 You had Tucker and Andrew, yours truly, forming you as a young cub reporter to be the titan, the Goliath you are today.

00:07:03.000 We're going to talk about your poll in a minute, but just right there, you caught Burkwam.

00:07:07.000 I got to tell you, this is the difference between a guy that works at this job is going to ask a straight question and the rest of the sycophants over the mainstream media.

00:07:15.000 They were all trying to do minute narrative building around what happened.

00:07:18.000 Your thoughts, Matt, what you just heard.

00:07:20.000 Well, yeah, I was very proud to hear that question because, by the way, if I had a reporter at that press conference for Breitbart, that's exactly the question I would have told them to ask.

00:07:30.000 And I workshop questions with our team all the time when they're talking to the president and other people around him and so on and so forth.

00:07:37.000 And we regularly have people at a lot of these press availabilities that you see with President Trump and other people in the administration.

00:07:44.000 So it was exactly the right question.

00:07:46.000 I think that the thing that they need to zone in on is these, it's essentially a militia that these radical leftists essentially terrorists have stood up where they are coordinating and communicating, you know, building dispatches and patrols, et cetera, to disrupt federal law enforcement.

00:08:06.000 I mean, that's the definition of an insurrection, I think, right?

00:08:10.000 Like, I mean, it feels a lot like kind of like the Whiskey Rebellion or something, right, like, you know, from history, right?

00:08:17.000 Like, and so it's up to the federal government to not tolerate this.

00:08:21.000 So either we're going to tolerate it where people who are unelected are going to be able to go out there and engage in this terroristic activity interfering with the elected leadership's law enforcement or not, right?

00:08:36.000 Like, and so do we have a democracy or not, right?

00:08:38.000 Like, I mean, for years we heard the left screaming that we have a democracy, democracy is under attack.

00:08:43.000 Well, the people who are engaged in these signal chats and patrols and dispatches against ICE and other Homeland Security law enforcement officials in Minnesota are engaged in an attack on our democracy, right?

00:08:56.000 Like, the federal law enforcement officers who are there are there at the direction of the elected president of the United States.

00:09:06.000 And President Trump legitimately won the election in 2024.

00:09:12.000 Anybody who's claiming that he didn't is ridiculous.

00:09:16.000 And again, that's the second part of Ben's question is what Homan would say to the people who voted for this.

00:09:23.000 They voted for mass deportations.

00:09:26.000 The president was extremely clear about this when he campaigned over the course.

00:09:31.000 I mean, I spoke to him multiple times.

00:09:33.000 I know you did, Steve.

00:09:35.000 I know that he talked about this in every single rally speech, in the debates, in every forum that he had.

00:09:42.000 He talked about immigration and the need to deport criminal illegal aliens and broader mass deportations.

00:09:49.000 It was extremely abundantly clear that that's what the American people were voting on.

00:09:53.000 It was the number one issue right alongside the economy in the 2024 election.

00:09:59.000 And President Trump won all seven swing states in a landslide election in the national popular vote.

00:10:04.000 And even more so than 2016, assembled a new political coalition of working class voters that included young black men and Hispanic voters who were also very clear that they knew that this is what they were voting for.

00:10:20.000 So this is, again, the people that are engaged in subversive actions against the United States on this front are essentially engaged in an insurrection.

00:10:31.000 So how the president handles this is going to define a big part of his presidency, right?

00:10:38.000 So what he's decided to do, clearly, is dispatch Tom Homan there to see if they can take the temperature down and get cooperation from state and local officials.

00:10:47.000 We'll see what happens, right? Like, you know, apparently they're all, you know, giving the hubba-da-hubba-da-hubba-da, saying the right things sometimes, other times not. 0.94

00:10:57.000 But then the question is, do they cooperate?

00:10:59.000 Yeah.

00:11:00.000 Minnesota is holding, either in state or local officials, thousands of criminal illegal aliens in prisons throughout the state.

00:11:08.000 Are they going to cooperate with federal law enforcement and allow the federal government to deport them?

00:11:13.000 Plain and simple. Really simple question.

00:11:15.000 Are they going to stop being sanctuary states?

00:11:17.000 By the way, you're saying, yeah.

00:11:19.000 Yeah, they laid it out, Pam Bondi laid it out, the four requests in the letter, which they don't want to address.

00:11:25.000 And by the way, whatever they're saying in the meetings, they're not saying that on MSMEC.

00:11:29.000 They couldn't be more arrogant.

00:11:31.000 Hang on, Matt, because I've got to get other thoughts on you, and particularly this poll that Breitbart ran that's very illuminating about Iran.

00:11:39.000 Sure, sure.

00:11:41.000 Ben, to your amazing question, and Matt just said, hey, it's militias, these are militias.

00:11:47.000 You very much, Homan came back and said, Ben, justice is coming.

00:11:52.000 I don't want to show my cards.

00:11:54.000 I don't want it to my hand.

00:11:55.000 How did you read that, Burkwam?

00:11:56.000 You know Homan pretty well.

00:11:58.000 Well, I took that part as obviously there's investigations going on behind the scenes into these organizations and organizers.

00:12:07.000 And it is, it's a criminal conspiracy, whatever you want to call it, insurrection.

00:12:12.000 There is a coordinated effort to obstruct federal law enforcement.

00:12:18.000 That's a crime.

00:12:19.000 And so this is, these organizations need to be held accountable.

00:12:23.000 The problem I have, just like you have, is it goes all the way up to the top.

00:12:27.000 It goes to the top of the food chain in the Democrat Party in Minnesota.

00:12:32.000 It's Tim Walls.

00:12:33.000 No doubt it goes into his office.

00:12:35.000 No doubt it goes into Mayor Frye's office.

00:12:39.000 So that's the thing.

00:12:40.000 You're asking the people that are coordinating the attacks against you to be on your side.

00:12:45.000 And I just, I don't trust them at all.

00:12:47.000 I mean, I think they're, they're traitors to this country.

00:12:53.000 Now you're, you're in Minneapolis.

00:12:55.000 We need you to be safe because you're quite well known now.

00:12:58.000 Talk to me about when I hear Toman say targeted enforcement versus what we've been doing.

00:13:04.000 Just tell the audience what that's going to look like.

00:13:08.000 Well, yeah, that's interesting because everything that we've been doing has been called targeted enforcement.

00:13:14.000 The strategies have changed.

00:13:16.000 He's exactly right.

00:13:17.000 And what's interesting too here is if he can shift the focus, if they actually get Frye and if they get Minneapolis and the state to actually start releasing these guys in the jails and in the prisons, you don't have to send the guys out into the streets to do what's called targeted enforcement.

00:13:34.000 But targeted enforcement includes a lot of different operations.

00:13:37.000 That's going after the really, really bad, bad guys, you know, with multiple criminal felony records, as well as going into targeted communities that you know are, you know, they're, they're places in our country that are 80% illegal.

00:13:49.000 And so some targeted enforcement, you want to do mass deportations.

00:13:53.000 You do what they've been doing.

00:13:54.000 You go into those communities and you simply get out of your vehicle and you watch your runs and you get probable cause to go track them down and check their status.

00:14:01.000 So there's, you know, all of these things are technically targeted enforcement.

00:14:05.000 It just depends on who you're targeting there.

00:14:07.000 His, his message today was we're going to refocus on the heavy criminal element as our priority and we'll deal with the other guys later.

00:14:17.000 Hang over a second, Ben.

00:14:18.000 Ben on the streets of Minneapolis.

00:14:21.000 Bruce Springsteen is going to take us out with his version of it.

00:14:25.000 I want to thank the team, my own production team and the guys in Denver for putting together some great footage.

00:14:31.000 Ben's going to stick around.

00:14:32.000 We got Matt Boyle, an incredible poll that the Breitbart guys did.

00:14:36.000 They're very, very, very smart about the situation in Tehran.

00:14:40.000 And much, much more, including upcoming cabinet meeting that we'll cut right into as soon as it starts.

00:14:45.000 The president sure is going to have a couple of three things to say.

00:14:48.000 Gold blowing through.

00:14:50.000 I can't even tell you what gold's blowing through.

00:14:52.000 Just go to Birch Gold right now and check it out.

00:14:55.000 Short break.

00:14:56.000 There's a lot of politicians that should be getting coal in their stockings for Christmas, but Birch Gold thinks as a smart planner, you deserve silver.

00:15:09.000 That's why for every $5,000 you purchase between now and December 22nd, Birch Gold will send you an ounce of silver free.

00:15:18.000 Remember, silver is up over 60% this year and over $60 an ounce.

00:15:26.000 You see, smart people diversify and have a hedge.

00:15:30.000 That's why I encourage you to buy gold from Birch Gold.

00:15:33.000 With the rate cuts from the Fed in 2026, the dollar will be worth less.

00:15:37.000 And what happens if the AI bubble burst?

00:15:40.000 Diversify.

00:15:41.000 Let Birch Gold Group help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax sheltered IRA and physical gold.

00:15:50.000 Let me repeat that.

00:15:51.000 Physical gold.

00:15:52.000 And for every $5,000 you buy, you'll get an ounce of silver for your stocking or for your kids.

00:15:59.000 What a great way to teach them about saving smartly.

00:16:02.000 Just text my name, Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, to 989898 to claim your eligibility for this offer.

00:16:09.000 Again, text Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, to the number 989898 today.

00:16:15.000 Because Birch Gold's free silver with qualifying purchase promotion ends the 22nd of December of this year.

00:16:24.000 Make sure you text Bannon to 989898.

00:16:28.000 Do it today.

00:16:29.000 War Room.

00:16:34.000 Here's your host, Stephen K.

00:16:36.000 Birch Gold.

00:16:37.000 Take your phone out.

00:16:38.000 Text Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, at 989898.

00:16:42.000 Ultimate guy, totally free, no obligation, investing in gold and precious metals in the age of Trump.

00:16:49.000 This is the quick and dirty, and you get right to Philip Patrick as gold is on fire, as we've told you.

00:16:54.000 It's not the price, it's the process.

00:16:56.000 Same with silver.

00:16:57.000 Or if you want a deeper set of analytics, go to find out what the process is, what's driven gold, why central banks are buying it at record rates for now the third or fourth year in a row.

00:17:10.000 Birchgold.com, promo code Bannon, the end of the dollar empire.

00:17:13.000 Was that a good call four years ago, five years ago?

00:17:16.000 We saw this coming in Biden.

00:17:18.000 He took it down 28% in his, 28% destruction of the dollar and let in 15 million illegal aliens. 1.00

00:17:26.000 How's that for a successful presidency?

00:17:27.000 Birchgold, get to Philip Patrick and the team.

00:17:29.000 I may try to have Philip on today since gold's exploding, silver's exploding.

00:17:32.000 Get there.

00:17:33.000 Get there.

00:17:34.000 Make sure, in fact, you'll put the clips up from Philip on the show the other day.

00:17:38.000 Fear of missing out.

00:17:39.000 You've got to deal with that.

00:17:41.000 Understand the pattern recognition.

00:17:43.000 Ben Burkwam, we're not going to let you freeze in the streets of Minneapolis.

00:17:46.000 Philip, give us your coordinates.

00:17:48.000 We'll get you back at five, sir.

00:17:49.000 I know you're going to be out and about and busy today.

00:17:51.000 Where can people track you down on social media?

00:17:55.000 Well, of course, Real America's Voice.

00:17:57.000 A new episode of Law and Border coming out next weekend.

00:18:00.000 And my social, at Ben Burkwam, on just about everything, frontlineamerica.com.

00:18:04.000 And then our foundation, if you want to help ICE and Border Patrol, frontlineamericafoundation.org.

00:18:09.000 Thank you, brother.

00:18:12.000 Great question.

00:18:13.000 A tremendous hookup with the ICE guys, Tom Homan.

00:18:18.000 And we'll talk to you at five.

00:18:19.000 Yes, sir.

00:18:21.000 Thank you.

00:18:22.000 Matt Boyle, we started the show and we finished yesterday.

00:18:25.000 We did an hour live during the raid.

00:18:28.000 We did an hour with the same pages down in Georgia.

00:18:31.000 I mean, you know, these folks have worked for five, six years to make sure we had got to yesterday, the criminal investigation by the FBI.

00:18:36.000 Your thoughts, sir, on the 2020 election in the mainstream media meltdown this morning about, oh, this is all about stealing Trump, stealing 26 and 28.

00:18:45.000 Your thoughts, sir?

00:18:47.000 Well, let's put it this way.

00:18:48.000 A judge signed off on this warrant.

00:18:50.000 OK, like so they clearly have something that they took in there to get a judge to sign off on this warrant.

00:18:57.000 And we'll see whatever comes of all of this.

00:19:00.000 But my guess is there's a lot more to it than people realize.

00:19:04.000 If the FBI director and the director of national intelligence, apparently director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, is down there, right?

00:19:12.000 If these people were personally intricately involved, which appears to be the case on this, there's probably a lot more to it than we know.

00:19:20.000 And from covering stories like this with law enforcement matters, federal Justice Department things, raids, the FBI investigations, it oftentimes takes a lot longer than those of us who in the media industry and also the broader general public would like to get clarity and answers.

00:19:41.000 I've covered stories that take 10 years to unravel, right?

00:19:45.000 Like, for instance, I broke the story before I even worked at Breitbart back when I worked at the Daily Call.

00:19:50.000 It was one of the last stories I did there back in 2012 about Senator Bob Menendez and corruption and whatnot.

00:19:57.000 And he didn't go down until like a decade later or longer, right?

00:20:02.000 Like, so it's like these things take time for these to develop and to flesh out and for evidence to emerge and for the feds to take steps in the right direction.

00:20:12.000 So I think that there's a lot more than we know about all of this.

00:20:18.000 I would imagine that they are figuring out even more things about it all.

00:20:23.000 So we'll be watching it very closely.

00:20:25.000 And then in addition to that, I would just say more broadly, too, I know I believe me, I get the frustration out there that people want to say there haven't been wide scale arrests, right?

00:20:36.000 Like of the people who did the Russia collusion hoax or people who did weaponization of government during Biden or Obama or things like that.

00:20:44.000 And I agree with those people, right?

00:20:46.000 Like, I agree.

00:20:47.000 But again, the good guys are in charge right now, right?

00:20:51.000 Like, so, you know, you've got Bondi and Patel and, you know, Ratcliffe and these folks and Tulsi Gabbard leading the federal government.

00:20:59.000 And obviously, President Trump is the president.

00:21:02.000 So I would say keep the faith a little bit longer.

00:21:07.000 I had a huge story that I did over the weekend, you know, while we were all snowed in here in the nation's capital in Washington, D.C., working with the CIA.

00:21:16.000 And I spoke to the CIA director and there's he's very careful with what he says about things.

00:21:20.000 But one of the things that we talked about was about the weaponization and the Russia collusion hoax and everything.

00:21:27.000 And this has been a huge focus of Director Ratcliffe's even dating back to when he was DNI in Tulsi's job back in Trump's first term in, you know, 2019, 2020.

00:21:38.000 And he's been laser focused on this.

00:21:41.000 And he said he said something a little bit cryptic in there about how he doesn't want to speculate or peruse whatever the Justice Department may or may not be doing.

00:21:51.000 But everybody needs to be held accountable.

00:21:53.000 I don't think a guy like Ratcliffe says a thing like that unless he knows a lot more about what may or may not be coming.

00:22:00.000 Then. So, again, I just I kind of have a feeling there's a lot more in the works than people realize.

00:22:07.000 So, again, while I get the frustration that's out there in the Republican base and the Trump base, the MAGA base.

00:22:14.000 And I want to see as much more action as everybody.

00:22:17.000 I also think that the good guys are trying here.

00:22:21.000 And so keep the faith.

00:22:23.000 The good stuff is coming.

00:22:25.000 That's my message.

00:22:26.000 OK, talking about good stuff, talking about good stuff is the president's focused on, obviously, what's happening in Georgia with the FBI raid in Minneapolis and many more places right around the country where it's actually going much better.

00:22:38.000 Because you don't have, as you called this militia in the streets and paid for by, as Peter Schweitzer said, the great to Breitbart editor, the invisible coup, which is number one New York Times bestseller folks.

00:22:50.000 Yeah, make sure you get it. We've got to make it number one for the second week in a row militia.

00:22:55.000 We keep saying the problems of the country are not in Tehran.

00:22:58.000 And we got to focus on things that, you know, we got all kind of things we have to get done that must get done.

00:23:05.000 And then there's other things you can kind of think about what you guys did at Breitbart is quite brilliant.

00:23:10.000 You got one of the best polling organizations said, hey, let's put a poll of this about what's the real support.

00:23:14.000 And then we'll ask a couple other questions.

00:23:16.000 I keep saying when they see these polls that they support this way, you might support it on day one.

00:23:21.000 But like in Iraq, do you support it on year four?

00:23:24.000 No, you don't.

00:23:25.000 It gets down to 10 percent.

00:23:26.000 It drives Bush into permanent shame.

00:23:28.000 Talk to me about your poll that you guys work through about this situation of the bombing of Toronto.

00:23:34.000 The bombing of Tehran, sir. 0.66

00:23:36.000 Well, it's not our poll.

00:23:37.000 JL Partners, which is one of the best pollsters out there, they actually nailed the 2024 election and got it right that Trump was going to win the national popular vote.

00:23:45.000 They did the poll and they gave it to us exclusively ahead of releasing it publicly.

00:23:50.000 And what the biggest is, is that yes, Americans don't like the regime in Iran.

00:23:54.000 And I'm going to, in case you cut back to me, I'm going to be looking down at my phone to read you the exact numbers so that way people understand this.

00:24:01.000 So yes, Americans don't like the Iranian regime and would love to see America topple the Iranian regime.

00:24:07.000 However, when they asked the follow up question, how many American lives are you willing to risk to do, to remove the Iranian regime, that the majority of those who support both among the broader American public and among specifically Republican voters risking even one American life drops significantly.

00:24:30.000 So again, the numbers here show that 36% of broader Americans supposedly support U.S. toppling the Iranian regime, 18% strongly and 18% somewhat, 21% oppose.

00:24:48.000 And then among Republicans specifically, the support for toppling the regime in Iran from the United States goes higher, it's 60%.

00:24:57.000 But in both cases, among those who support toppling the regime in Iran, they're asked, how many American lives are you willing to risk in so doing?

00:25:09.000 And in both cases, 51% said none.

00:25:14.000 They're not willing to risk a single American life.

00:25:17.000 What that means when you really drill down on this, because if you're going to topple the regime in Iran, you're probably going to cost American lives, right?

00:25:26.000 And then once you start getting higher and higher in the numbers, then some people are willing to go up to 10 American lives or up to 100 or up to 1,000 or whatever.

00:25:34.000 You know, it's very, very few that are willing to go higher than that.

00:25:38.000 But when you really get into it, the real numbers are among the broader American public, around only 14% that support America toppling the regime in Iran.

00:25:49.000 And among Republicans, it's not really 60%, but it's down around 21%, right?

00:25:54.000 So this is a total drop-off in the numbers when you actually count the loss of American life, which would probably be likely if this happens.

00:26:06.000 I think Americans love what happened with Maduro, right, where it didn't cost a single American life.

00:26:12.000 It looks like the new leader there is an American puppet and doing whatever Rubio and then want her to do.

00:26:19.000 If they could do something like that in Iran, I think that we would be open to that. 0.99

00:26:23.000 But the question is, is that optionality going to be presented to the president?

00:26:27.000 We had an expeditionary strike to end the 12-day war because the Israelis couldn't finish what they started. 0.99

00:26:34.000 We had to come and do it.

00:26:35.000 And, of course, we now know it was all lies because the Times of Israel published the cabinet minutes that said it was two years before they really had any nuclear program worthwhile.

00:26:44.000 That being what it said, President Trump totally obliterated.

00:26:47.000 It was a massive expeditionary force.

00:26:49.000 The United States Navy did as much as the B-2s with the cruise missiles technology from the late 1970s with fast attack submarines firing from the North Arabian Sea.

00:26:59.000 President Trump rolled the iron dice of war again, and we were very fortunate. 0.75

00:27:05.000 And remember, the Chinook pilot, as Prince said, could have lost 30 special forces, but it came out.

00:27:09.000 But the American people don't support in Tehran because if you don't support the loss of American lives, then you don't support it because it's going to get gnarly. 0.68

00:27:16.000 We've got to bounce, Matt.

00:27:17.000 Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant poll.

00:27:20.000 Great presentation.

00:30:41.000 Minnesota, we've been through a lot.

00:30:44.000 A beloved leader and her husband murdered in their home.

00:30:48.000 Little kids gunned down in a church.

00:30:51.000 The killings of Renee Good, a mom of three.

00:30:54.000 And Alex Preddy, a nurse who took care of our veterans.

00:30:58.000 3,000 ICE agents on our streets and in our towns, sent by an administration that relishes division.

00:31:06.000 We cannot sugarcoat how hard this is.

00:31:10.000 But in these moments of enormous difficulty, we find strength in our Minnesota values of hard work, freedom, and simple decency and goodwill.

00:31:20.000 These times call for leaders who can stand up and not be rubber stamps of this administration.

00:31:28.000 But who are also willing to find common ground and fix things in our state.

00:31:33.000 These times call for grit and resilience.

00:31:37.000 I've learned resilience from you.

00:31:40.000 Through it all, you do not give up.

00:31:42.000 You put on those winter boots and the freezing cold and bring your kids to school.

00:31:46.000 She'll wander around.

00:31:48.000 Klobertra, you gotta get focused.

00:31:50.000 You just wander around.

00:31:51.000 I could go on.

00:31:52.000 It goes for a couple more minutes.

00:31:54.000 Mike Lindell, you smoked it out.

00:31:56.000 Amy Klobertra, that's her official announcement.

00:31:59.000 She eventually gets to saying she's running for governor, but I'd rather have you talk than her.

00:32:04.000 Mike, your governor's campaign, you got Walls out of the race because he knew he couldn't beat you.

00:32:12.000 He also goes and knows he's going to be indicted, but he couldn't beat you because you'd be hammering in every day.

00:32:16.000 Now you've made the Senate so much harder for the Democrats to try to take over because you smoked Amy out and you know her pretty well.

00:32:25.000 You know her weaknesses.

00:32:26.000 So this is going to be a, this is going to be a good old fashioned Donnybrook.

00:32:29.000 Your thoughts, sir.

00:32:30.000 Well, you know what she failed to mention is commercial there.

00:32:34.000 Minnesota being the Trojan horse for Sharia law. 0.95

00:32:37.000 We've had a battle battle over the last 10 years.

00:32:41.000 Fraud in our elections with Minnesota leading the way for the nation in our, in fraud and 18 billion minimum stole from Minnesota from our, from all of us taxpayers.

00:32:54.000 And, and, and Amy at one time, you know, she's flipped on so many things, including the, the elections when she wanted to go to get rid of the machines, go to paper ballots in the movie kill chain in 2018.

00:33:09.000 I've reached out to her many times.

00:33:11.000 She not all of a sudden, she never responds about our elections, which is pouring out.

00:33:15.000 Now, everybody, isn't it great that with Georgia and everything pouring out, we were right all along because there's only one truth.

00:33:22.000 Everybody remember that there's only one truth.

00:33:25.000 And, uh, Amy's going to have to answer to all this and all this would happen on her watch. 0.81

00:33:30.000 Let's not forget just cause you trade the players and you, you move Walt's over here and Keith Ellison over here and, and Elon Omar, Amy, you were here too.

00:33:39.000 You watched it all happen and you did nothing.

00:33:41.000 So this is, you're right, Steve.

00:33:43.000 It's going to be an all out battle.

00:33:45.000 I'm looking forward to it.

00:33:46.000 And, uh, I do know her weaknesses, but I also know our strengths and, uh, and we are going to have the biggest campaign advertising campaign this country's ever seen.

00:33:57.000 And I have, uh, um, as everybody knows, I was part of our great president's campaign.

00:34:02.000 And, and there's a lot of things we, that we did then that we're going to do here in Minnesota to, to, to, to beat, uh, Amy Klobuchar.

00:34:10.000 Okay.

00:34:11.000 But now the battle is defined.

00:34:12.000 It's, it's, it's Klobuchar and they're doing this because of you, not because of the woman from the house. 0.83

00:34:17.000 That's ridiculous.

00:34:18.000 It's because of you.

00:34:19.000 They fear Mike Lindell and the cause Mike Lindell brings MAGA.

00:34:22.000 Um, Mike real quickly, uh, everybody thinks that's great.

00:34:26.000 You've served the country.

00:34:27.000 You got her out of the Senate.

00:36:18.000 I know you'll get Mike.

00:36:19.000 Uh, Mike will see this afternoon.

00:36:20.000 Great work.

00:36:21.000 Great work.

00:36:22.000 Smoking Amy Klobuchar out.

00:36:23.000 So they can't take the Senate now.

00:36:25.000 Peter Schweitzer, the invisible coup, um, is, uh, is New York times.

00:36:30.000 Number one bestseller war room posse.

00:36:32.000 You had, you put your shoulder to where you did it.

00:36:34.000 But Peter on the next couple of days, he's going to be on Saturday interviewed by Jan, uh, Jekalak from, uh, American thought leaders, Epoch times, all of it.

00:36:43.000 He's got the new book.

00:36:44.000 The next number one bestseller we're going to have is, uh, Killed to Order.

00:36:48.000 Jan, you've been working on this for how long?

00:36:51.000 This is about the, uh, this is about that horrible, horrible practice of the Chinese Communist Party of organ harvesting from live individuals, sir. 0.89

00:37:00.000 You know, 20 years ago was when I first realized that there's this industrial scale murder for organs industry in China.

00:37:09.000 I didn't want to believe it.

00:37:10.000 I really didn't want to believe it.

00:37:12.000 I mean, and this, we're not talking about this garden variety, you know, black market organ trade, which actually happens horribly around the world.

00:37:20.000 This is a whole different thing.

00:37:21.000 You need a state actor or someone who's able to mobilize mass propaganda and basically mass incarceration.

00:37:28.000 So that's what you need.

00:37:29.000 You need to be able to push a whole lot of propaganda into the system so that you can dehumanize a group of people.

00:37:35.000 So people look at those, that group of people that you're targeting a little bit lower, right?

00:37:39.000 A little, not, not quite human perhaps.

00:37:41.000 Then you need to be able to incarcerate them.

00:37:43.000 You need to have massive state security apparatus.

00:37:45.000 And then when those people are now incarcerated, you can blood type them, tissue type them, and organ scan them.

00:37:52.000 And now when someone say in America is looking at an ad, it says two weeks, I can get you a new heart.

00:37:59.000 It'll cost you 200 grand, let's say, but you can get it because that person on the other end is incarcerated.

00:38:05.000 It's a prisoner of conscience, most typically a Falun Gong practitioner, but also Uyghurs were later added when the world decided to do nothing. 1.00

00:38:14.000 Jan, can you hang on for one second?

00:38:16.000 Let's cut.

00:38:17.000 We got to cut to the cabinet room of the president.

00:38:18.000 Hang on for one minute.

00:38:19.000 Let's go to the cabinet.

00:38:20.000 So I think that's basically what's happened in our first year.

00:38:23.000 We've had an amazing year and this will be our first cabinet after the year.

00:38:30.000 So we're starting our second year.

00:38:32.000 Tremendous progress has been made.

00:38:34.000 I want to thank my entire cabinet for 12 months of unprecedented achievements.

00:38:38.000 We really have.

00:38:39.000 I mean, it's unprecedented.

00:38:41.000 The numbers we've had on the economy and growth, you see them.

00:38:46.000 And that's despite a Democrat shutdown.

00:38:48.000 Without the shutdown, we would have picked up about a point and a half more than already high numbers, record setting numbers.

00:38:55.000 So this has been, I think, and a lot of people say it, the most successful year of any administration in American history.

00:39:02.000 First year.

00:39:03.000 There's never been a first year like this, including the fact that we put out extinguished eight wars.

00:39:08.000 And another one we think is coming.

00:39:11.000 Steve Whitcoff is working very hard and Jared and everybody else.

00:39:15.000 And I think it's coming.

00:39:16.000 It was just announced that the murder rate in our country is the biggest drop ever recorded.

00:39:22.000 It's at the lowest level in 125 years.

00:39:26.000 First in recorded history.

00:39:27.000 It's the lowest in at least 125 years.

00:39:30.000 It's a wonderful thing.

00:39:32.000 And that crime is weighed down.

00:39:34.000 And one of the reasons was we've taken a lot of bad people and gotten them out of our country.

00:39:39.000 In some cases, they're so bad that we put them in prison because we don't want them to even take a chance of coming back in, even though our border is very secure. 0.85

00:39:47.000 We're record-setting secure.

00:39:50.000 We had zero illegal aliens being admitted into our country for the last eight months.

00:39:56.000 That's hard.

00:39:57.000 That's hard for even me to believe.

00:39:59.000 But the people that make up the lists are supposedly nonpartisan.

00:40:03.000 But I would say they lead toward the Democrat side.

00:40:06.000 And if they say that, I'm all for it.

00:40:09.000 As you know, we've had a situation take place with respect to Venezuela.

00:40:18.000 I want to just thank General Cain and his staff for the job that they've done is incredible.

00:40:25.000 Nobody's ever seen anything like it.

00:40:27.000 And once it did take place, I want to thank the leadership of Venezuela.

00:40:32.000 We're getting along really well with them.

00:40:35.000 The relationships have been very strong, very good.

00:40:38.000 And they have informed me that they feel this very good security, very strong security.

00:40:47.000 We're working with the various people involved, including Chris and Doug and everybody on the oil.

00:40:54.000 We have the major oil companies going to Venezuela now, scouting it out and picking their locations.

00:41:00.000 And they'll be bringing back tremendous wealth for Venezuela and for the United States.

00:41:06.000 And the oil companies will do fine, too.

00:41:08.000 Venezuela will actually make for themselves more money than they've ever made before.

00:41:12.000 And that's a good thing.

00:41:14.000 And the people of Venezuela were literally in the streets waving American flags.

00:41:18.000 They were so happy.

00:41:19.000 And the people in our country, like in the Doral section of Miami, which is considered little Venezuela, they're thrilled.

00:41:28.000 And I just spoke to the President of Venezuela and informed her that we're going to be opening up all commercial airspace over Venezuela.

00:41:38.000 American citizens will be very shortly able to go to Venezuela and they'll be safe there and be safe.

00:41:46.000 It's under very strong control.

00:41:49.000 And the people of formerly of Venezuela, some want to go back and some want to go back to visit.

00:41:56.000 And they're going to be able to do that.

00:41:58.000 So I've instructed Sean Duffy and everybody else concerned, including the military, that if you would, by the end of today,

00:42:06.000 I'd like you to have the airspace over Venezuela.

00:42:09.000 Planes can go to Venezuela opened up.

00:42:11.000 Okay?

00:42:12.000 Yes.

00:42:13.000 Thank you very much.

00:42:14.000 And I want to thank all of the people in Venezuela for what, you know, what they went through.

00:42:19.000 And I want to thank the leadership for, really, they're doing a good job.

00:42:23.000 And just as I promised, we've defeated the Biden inflation nightmare and achieved explosive new economic growth.

00:42:33.000 The Atlanta Fed is predicting an astounding 5.4 percent GDP growth in the fourth quarter.

00:42:40.000 And that's despite the fact that we had a Democrat shutdown.

00:42:43.000 We would have had that number would have been 7 percent, which is a number nobody's ever heard of.

00:42:48.000 And we've had we've been given great national security because of tariffs.

00:42:53.000 And we've also been given unprecedented income because of tariffs.

00:42:58.000 Part of the income that we gave, $12 billion, we gave to the farmers of our country so that yesterday was up in Iowa.

00:43:08.000 And they were very happy, Madam Secretary.

00:43:11.000 Yes, sir.

00:43:12.000 They were very, very happy.

00:43:13.000 They were great.

00:43:14.000 So the GDP growth in the fourth quarter was great.

00:43:18.000 And it's going to be, I think we're going to have an amazing and incredible year.

00:43:21.000 Hopefully we won't have a shutdown.

00:43:23.000 We're working on that right now.

00:43:25.000 I think we're getting close.

00:43:26.000 The Democrats, I don't believe, want to see it either.

00:43:29.000 So we'll work in a very bipartisan way.

00:43:32.000 I believe not to have a shutdown.

00:43:33.000 We don't want to shut down.

00:43:35.000 And just yesterday, the S&P 500 hit 7,000 for the first time ever.

00:43:41.000 There's never been any time at which it's done like that.

00:43:45.000 And the other stocks also, I think it was 52 times for the Dow, had hit a record high.

00:43:51.000 But the 7,000 was not a number that was even thinkable if you go back a year ago.

00:43:57.000 And so S&P hit 7,000 for the first time ever.

00:44:01.000 The stock market has set — it's actually 53 — 52, 53 all-time record highs since the election,

00:44:11.000 adding $9 trillion in value to savings, retirement accounts, and 401 s.

00:44:16.000 And, I mean, everybody benefits.

00:44:18.000 But we have record, record stock markets.

00:44:20.000 Companies have never done well.

00:44:22.000 And most importantly, if you think about it, after four years in which Biden got much less than $1 trillion of investment into our country,

00:44:31.000 in just — actually, it was taken over 11 months, even though we're 12 months.

00:44:38.000 In 11 months, we've taken in more than $18 trillion.

00:44:43.000 So they did less than $1 trillion, Scott, in a period of four years.

00:44:50.000 And we've done $18 trillion in less than one year.

00:44:54.000 So there's never been anything like that.

00:44:56.000 No other country has done those numbers, by the way, in history.

00:44:59.000 Ten years ago, one country did $3 million — $3 trillion.

00:45:02.000 No other — we did $18 trillion.

00:45:05.000 It's being invested now.

00:45:07.000 Thousands of businesses, plants, equipment all over the country are being built right now.

00:45:13.000 And they're going to be opening pretty soon.

00:45:15.000 And when they open, you'll see numbers like nobody's ever seen before.

00:45:18.000 The economy is doing amazingly well.

00:45:20.000 I wish the press would report it, but people are finding out.

00:45:23.000 They're seeing it.

00:45:24.000 It's coming — it's becoming pretty evident.

00:45:27.000 It's hard to hide.

00:45:29.000 Biden inflation, which is really stagflation, cost the typical family $34,000.

00:45:37.000 Think of that — $34,000.

00:45:40.000 But after one year, growth in real incomes is outpacing inflation by more than $3,000 under Trump.

00:45:48.000 So one cost $34,000, and one made $3,000.

00:45:51.000 That's a big swing.

00:45:53.000 Gasoline has plunged to — think of this — over $4 a gallon, depending on where you are.

00:46:00.000 In California, it's $7, $8 a gallon.

00:46:03.000 I was in Iowa, and they had $1.85 — because I had it at $1.99 a gallon.

00:46:10.000 And I was corrected by two farmers that said,

00:46:13.000 I just bought my gasoline for $1.85.

00:46:15.000 That's right.

00:46:16.000 So, Chris, you have to be doing something right.

00:46:18.000 You and Doug, right?

00:46:19.000 But I don't want to give you too much confidence.

00:46:22.000 You've got to keep it going.

00:46:23.000 We're drilling — I think I can say we're drilling more than at any time ever in the history.

00:46:27.000 We're taking out more energy out of our land.

00:46:30.000 But specifically, if you look at oil and gas, we've never been anywhere even close.

00:46:35.000 Is that a correct statement?

00:46:36.000 That's correct.

00:46:37.000 All-time records.

00:46:38.000 Yeah.

00:46:39.000 Great.

00:46:40.000 That's a great job.

00:46:41.000 Well, it's supply and demand.

00:46:42.000 So, that's going down rapidly.

00:46:44.000 And, you know, when energy goes down, everything else goes down.

00:46:47.000 They were — they had very — they tried to do their thing.

00:46:50.000 It was a disaster.

00:46:51.000 Then they ran back very late to the Trump policy.

00:46:55.000 But they didn't do the Trump policy.

00:46:57.000 They cut leases.

00:46:58.000 They did everything that they could do.

00:47:00.000 But they lost it, and they were very high.

00:47:02.000 And we're now less than $2 in many areas.

00:47:06.000 $2.30 a gallon average.

00:47:09.000 Grocery prices, airfares, hotels, car payments, and rent prices are coming down very fast.

00:47:16.000 And you don't hear the word affordability issued by the Democrats anymore.

00:47:19.000 Now they're going into other things because they're getting beaten badly on affordability.

00:47:24.000 Remember that when I was elected, I came into office.

00:47:29.000 I inherited a total mess, starting with eggs, which were four times higher than they were just a year before.

00:47:35.000 And Brooke got them down very quickly before Easter.

00:47:39.000 He said they wanted me to buy plastic eggs for the egg hunt at the very famous egg hunt at the White House.

00:47:45.000 Sir, would you buy plastic eggs?

00:47:47.000 And we buy a lot of like 100,000 eggs.

00:47:48.000 And they said, we're not going to buy plastic eggs.

00:47:50.000 And by the time we had the egg hunt a few months later, we had the prices down pretty good.

00:47:55.000 And now they're really low.

00:47:56.000 Now they're at a very low level.

00:47:58.000 So we really have — you don't hear the word affordability because we inherited very high prices.

00:48:04.000 And we inherited the highest inflation in 48 years.

00:48:08.000 I say the history of our country.

00:48:09.000 I think it sounds almost the same.

00:48:11.000 Actually, I think 48 years sounds actually worse for some reason.

00:48:14.000 So I'll go with the 40 — because the press corrected me.

00:48:17.000 I said, history.

00:48:18.000 And they said, it's not history.

00:48:19.000 It's 48 years.

00:48:20.000 I said, I'll accept that.

00:48:23.000 And we had the highest inflation in 48 years.

00:48:28.000 We have now very — as you saw yesterday with the Fed.

00:48:33.000 I'm not a fan of his.

00:48:34.000 He said that inflation essentially is not a factor.

00:48:38.000 It's really been pretty amazing.

00:48:41.000 I just put out a statement about — his statements.

00:48:43.000 I won't repeat them here because they're too angry.

00:48:46.000 And thanks to our tax cuts, millions of Americans will soon receive record-setting tax refunds.

00:48:53.000 You're going to get a lot of tax refunds with the average refund expected to be over $1,000 higher than it has been at any time.

00:49:02.000 So we're going to be getting some pretty good refunds to a lot of people.

00:49:07.000 If congressional Democrats had their way, Americans would right now be facing the largest tax hike ever.

00:49:14.000 You know, their proposal was to raise taxes very substantially.

00:49:17.000 And our proposal, which is in the great, big, beautiful New Deal — it's a new deal in its own way.

00:49:24.000 It's a Republican version of the New Deal.

00:49:26.000 Right behind you is a nice picture of FDR.

00:49:29.000 This is a much better deal than the FDR deal. 0.68

00:49:32.000 But we have the great, big, beautiful bill, and it's given tremendous tax cuts and a lot of other things.

00:49:39.000 People are now finding out how good it is.

00:49:41.000 And it's just kicked in as of January 1st, by the way.

00:49:44.000 So we really — we're really starting to see it.

00:49:47.000 Even though it's a month, we're really starting to see it.

00:49:49.000 The U.S. economy would be cratering.

00:49:52.000 If they had won this election, our country would be in very bad shape.

00:49:58.000 Would be maybe not much of a country anymore.

00:50:01.000 I don't think it would be a country anymore.

00:50:03.000 They were doing everything wrong.

00:50:05.000 But they were going to give you the largest tax hike in history,

00:50:07.000 and we're giving you the largest tax cut in history in the great, big, beautiful bill.

00:50:12.000 In addition, I think it's very good. I think it's very important.

00:50:15.000 You have no tax on overtime, no tax on tips, and no tax on Social Security.

00:50:20.000 But you also have — you're getting an — this is the first time this ever happened.

00:50:24.000 If you buy a car, you go out and borrow money, you get an interest deduction.

00:50:28.000 You take the interest rate, the interest that you're paying on the loan,

00:50:31.000 you're able to deduct it for income tax purposes.

00:50:35.000 So that's a first ever.

00:50:38.000 And I think it's going to be great for everybody, including the car companies.

00:50:42.000 I was in Detroit three weeks ago.

00:50:45.000 I went to the Ford factory, spoke to the General Motors people.

00:50:49.000 It's all the same. They're doing better than they've ever done.

00:50:53.000 The factory I went to was like a World War I — earlier than World War I factory.

00:50:58.000 It opened up one of the oldest buildings, but one of the biggest.

00:51:02.000 And Ford was getting ready to close it a couple of years ago,

00:51:05.000 and then they saw that I was doing well,

00:51:07.000 and it looked like I would have a good chance of winning.

00:51:10.000 And they kept it going — barely going.

00:51:12.000 And last week, they announced — during my visit,

00:51:17.000 they announced that they're going to round-the-clock production.

00:51:22.000 They never thought it was — I said, did you ever think —

00:51:25.000 I spoke with Bill Ford and the President of Ford.

00:51:29.000 They were both there.

00:51:30.000 And they said, we can't even believe it.

00:51:32.000 We were going to close this building two years ago,

00:51:34.000 and now it's going round-the-clock.

00:51:35.000 He said, we cannot — I mean, they wish — they said,

00:51:39.000 we wish it was twice the size.

00:51:40.000 But they're now building additional plants in the United States,

00:51:44.000 as is everybody else.

00:51:46.000 You have AI building, but the car companies —

00:51:49.000 I love the car companies — and you have them.

00:51:51.000 They're all coming back.

00:51:52.000 They're coming back from Mexico. 0.96

00:51:54.000 They're coming back from Canada.

00:51:55.000 They're coming back from Japan. 0.88

00:51:56.000 And they're coming back from Germany.

00:51:57.000 All over Europe.

00:51:58.000 They're coming back.

00:51:59.000 They're building here because they want to avoid the tariffs.

00:52:00.000 They don't want to pay the 15 percent — in some cases, 25 percent tariff.

00:52:01.000 It could be a lot higher than that if it wasn't working.

00:52:02.000 So, because of that, they're all coming back.

00:52:03.000 One statistic yesterday that Scott told me is that, for the first time ever,

00:52:22.000 tell them about the steel in Japan.

00:52:25.000 That we are now making more steel.

00:52:27.000 Go ahead, please.

00:52:28.000 So, yesterday they reported, for the first time in 26 years,

00:52:33.000 the United States of America produced more steel than Japan.

00:52:38.000 And that is entirely driven by your tariffs.

00:52:42.000 Amazing.

00:52:43.000 I think of that, yes.

00:52:45.000 He obviously said that much better than I did because I got no applause that I'm giving you.

00:52:55.000 I'm giving you a home run after home run.

00:52:58.000 He says one thing that everybody wants.

00:53:00.000 I should have saved that one for myself.

00:53:03.000 No, but think of it.

00:53:04.000 The first time — they read almost 30 years, but I guess it's, what, 26, 27 years — that we are now producing more steel than Japan.

00:53:12.000 Japan being a big steel producer.

00:53:14.000 Japan and other countries really took our steel production away from us.

00:53:19.000 Now, if you think of this, three or four years ago, the steel companies were all closing up.

00:53:26.000 We worked a fantastic deal with U.S. Steel.

00:53:28.000 We saved U.S. Steel.

00:53:30.000 And now it's all coming about, but we're — and that's just the beginning.

00:53:33.000 There are a lot of steel plants right now being built.

00:53:36.000 So it's — that's an amazing — that's an amazing number.

00:53:40.000 Nobody would have believed that.

00:53:41.000 If you would have said that three, four, five years ago, people would have said you hadn't.

00:53:46.000 It's not a — it's not a true fact.

00:53:48.000 But — so it has to be true because otherwise you — you question me.

00:53:51.000 You question me on everything.

00:53:53.000 I have to be extremely accurate.

00:53:54.000 I don't exaggerate it.

00:53:55.000 I don't want to exaggerate because you will call me — you don't call other people, but you would call me.

00:53:59.000 Under my most favorite nations file, which I think is the most important thing, Bobby, of all — what we've done.

00:54:06.000 Because we're bringing drug prices down by 80, 90 percent.

00:54:09.000 Depending on the way — you could say five, six, seven, eight hundred percent.

00:54:12.000 Depends on the way you want to calculate it, right?

00:54:14.000 But let's go the old-fashioned way.

00:54:16.000 But drug prices for prescription drugs will be down 80, 90 percent, 75 percent, 68 percent.

00:54:23.000 They've only gone up for years and years and years.

00:54:28.000 They've only gone up.

00:54:29.000 And now we're going to have essentially the most favored nation.

00:54:33.000 We're going to have the most favored price in the whole world.

00:54:36.000 Whatever the lowest price in the world is, that's what we're going to pay.

00:54:40.000 And I don't want to go into a big deal, but nobody else could have gotten this but this administration.

00:54:45.000 I'm being very nice when I say that.

00:54:47.000 The cost of prescription drugs is coming down by tremendous — by a number that never — was never even thought of.

00:54:54.000 This will have a huge impact on health care, by the way, because obviously drugs are a big part of health care.

00:55:01.000 And it will help repair some of the Unaffordable Care Act's damage that they've done.

00:55:07.000 Because the Unaffordable Care Act, which is Obamacare — it's unaffordable.

00:55:11.000 It's not affordable.

00:55:12.000 And it's a disaster.

00:55:14.000 And hopefully, we will be paying money directly to the people instead of giving the insurance companies the money.

00:55:20.000 They'll go into a health care savings account or whatever it is.

00:55:23.000 But think of it.

00:55:25.000 We pay the money billions and billions — really, trillions of dollars — going to insurance companies.

00:55:31.000 We want that money to go to the people that buy their own health care.

00:55:34.000 And it'll be — and it's so popular.

00:55:36.000 The problem we have is the Democrats are owned by the insurance companies.

00:55:40.000 They're literally owned lock, stock, and barrel by the insurance companies.

00:55:44.000 And they hate it.

00:55:46.000 But the people love it, including all Democrats.

00:55:49.000 So I think we'll perhaps be successful with it.

00:55:52.000 But it was an idea I had.

00:55:54.000 You know, I read the papers, and I'm reading one of the stories about the insurance companies — how much money they're making — where they received, you know, billions and billions of dollars for this stuff from the United States of America.

00:56:07.000 And their stock has gone up by 1,400 percent.

00:56:11.000 Think of it, 1,400.

00:56:13.000 One went up 1,700 percent.

00:56:15.000 Numbers went up — if you go up 1,000 percent, you're doing bad in that position.

00:56:19.000 Okay, this is Stephen K. Bannon in the war room.

00:56:22.000 We're now going to pitch to the Charlie Kirk Show.

00:56:25.000 We'll be back here at 5 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.

00:56:28.000 And we will be on fire.

00:56:30.000 See you then.

00:56:31.000 Back to the Cabinet.

00:56:32.000 Why don't we just pay the people directly?

00:56:34.000 And they said, that's a good idea.

00:56:36.000 You know, it's funny.

00:56:37.000 It's a very complicated business.

00:56:38.000 But actually, it's not so complicated.

00:56:41.000 And I went to Bobby and I went to Dr. Raz.

00:56:43.000 I said, can I talk to you guys about this?

00:56:46.000 Is this the kind of money the insurance companies get?

00:56:49.000 Yes.

00:56:50.000 Why don't we pay the people directly?

00:56:52.000 And the primary answer was that the Democrats will never go along with it.

00:56:58.000 But the people go along with it because I put it out.

00:57:00.000 It went viral.

00:57:01.000 It went viral.

00:57:02.000 It went all over the place.

00:57:05.000 It became the biggest story.

00:57:07.000 I just said it.

00:57:08.000 And so, I think we have a great situation if we can do it.

00:57:13.000 But if you think most favored nation policy for drugs will bring you drug prices down at levels.

00:57:20.000 Now they're selling a pill for $10 in London and $130 in New York.

00:57:26.000 The London price will go up to $20.

00:57:29.000 Do you owe back taxes or haven't filled in years?

00:57:31.000 Now is the time to resolve your tax matters.

00:57:34.000 When the national conversation around abolishing the income tax system, the IRS is fighting back and proving it's here to stay by becoming more aggressive than ever before.

00:57:44.000 They're sending out more collection notices, filing more tax liens, and collecting billions more than in recent years.

00:57:51.000 If you owe, the IRS can garnish your wages, levy your bank accounts, seize your retirement, even your home.

00:57:58.000 If you owe or haven't filed, it's not a question that the IRS will act.

00:58:03.000 It's when the IRS will act.
