Steve Kamb and Peter Navarro join me in the War Room to talk about the new Fed Chair nominee, Kevin Warsh, and what we should be looking out for in the coming weeks and months. We also talk about why this could be the best year in a long time for the U.S. economy.
00:01:00.000So, Dr. Navarro, Kevin Warsh, he was the cover bid back when, you know, for some reason, due diligence, not enough due diligence was done on Powell and he was selected.
00:01:12.000Kevin's got some very interesting, sophisticated thoughts about growth, non-inflationary growth to hit these kind of hyper growth targets the president is talking about, 4%, 5%, maybe even higher, and not have inflation with increases in productivity.
00:01:27.000It's one of the reasons, I think, central reasons that he was selected, although maybe on monetary policy he's not 100% on board.
00:01:35.000But it's this growth with no inflation because that's what 2026 is going to be about.
00:01:40.000You tackle both the affordability issue and with growth and with maybe turbo growth.
00:01:46.000Is that why you say this could be the best year in a long time for the American economy is 2026, given what you guys accomplish, both with trade, the commercial relationships, the supply side tax cut to go into plant and equipment?
00:02:02.120And eventually, by May, at the latest, we won't have too late Powell around, sir?
00:02:07.680Steve, you said something really, really important here, because there's a seeming contradiction between Kevin Warsh's hawkish view on inflation and wanting a strong dollar versus what we want, which is a lower interest rate environment.
00:02:27.740Okay, and here's how you square that circle.
00:02:29.840What Jay Powell, arguably the dumbest, most malevolent Fed chairman we've had in our history, has never been able to understand is how Trump policies, including tariffs, can actually produce non-inflationary strong growth.
00:02:53.620He assumed back in 2018, when we were rocking and rolling, that somehow as the economy was accelerating, that that had to create inflation.
00:03:03.940He couldn't wrap around his head around deregulation, strategic energy dominance, tariffs, basically leading to strong non-inflationary growth.
00:03:16.740So the hope here is that Kevin Warsh understands that.
00:03:22.100So it can be no longer a contradiction that he's an inflation hawk, and yet he will lower interest rates because he understands how the Trump economy works.
00:03:34.600And so that's the most important thing I'm probably going to tell you in the next two months, because that's what we need to watch.
00:03:41.020We need to watch Warsh's rhetoric, and we need to watch exactly what he did.
00:05:10.440It's the gateway to X, Getter, and Truth.
00:05:15.360And we're really putting out some really good content.
00:05:18.120The videos are kind of 60-second videos, Steve.
00:05:20.920We're getting close to a million hits on those things now every time they go up.
00:05:24.840And the important part about them is that they actually explain in lay terms the nuances of economic policy, which is kind of hard to do, but somehow we pull it off.
00:05:40.780And, Steve, you're at the forefront of economics commentary.
00:05:46.560You know, it's like I think people learn more listening to your show than they do listening to the financial news or certainly reading, you know, the Journal or Bloomberg or the FT, which are all – they're all colored.
00:06:01.380They all have an internal bias, a Wall Street bias against the Trump policy.
00:06:08.520Somehow we're going to win this one because when people have more food on their table at cheaper prices, bigger paychecks, better retirement, houses that they can buy for a change, they're going to say, yeah, Trumponomics is what works, trust in Trump.
00:09:07.180Los consulados tienen una labor que está determinada por las leyes internacionales.
00:09:14.020Y lo que hacen nuestros consulados esencialmente es la protección de los mexicanos en Estados Unidos y la atención de los mexicanos en Estados Unidos.
00:09:25.500Peter, as we say in the narrative warfare business, you drew blood.
00:09:30.960What was the president of Mexico's not a big fan of your book, although she might have bought a couple of three copies to have it read by her cabinet.
00:09:46.680When every other big nation in the world has got four or five or six.
00:09:49.280You've got guys in the Senate that have maps.
00:09:52.580I think it was a map in the back of one of the things that the United States of Mexico has got areas of the United States in it.
00:09:58.060You called these guys out, not the cartels, not the seven families that own the country, but the political class up there for actively working on this invasion.
00:10:08.400Or as you say in your subtitle, using immigration as a weapon.
00:10:13.100Their response, sir, what was her response directly to you?
00:10:42.940They're talking about how they're conspiring against Trump to prevent Republicans from getting elected.
00:10:49.300There are quotes in there from consular officials saying that they're paying for people to apply for citizenship because they want to get more voters.
00:10:56.780So she's denying the facts of what her own people are saying.
00:11:01.380And it's funny, Steve, because as much as they are open and saying this amongst themselves, they are desperate to make sure that the majority of American people don't pay attention.
00:11:12.460I want to read to you yet another quote.
00:11:15.060This is from the head of the Mexican news agency, and this is what he said, which I think captures it perfectly.
00:11:23.240He says, quote, we are quietly carrying out the reconquest of our territories the U.S. took from us in 1848.
00:11:30.120The reconquest of the Aztec territory is silent, and the day the gringos realize this, their diabolical fundamentalism will become macabre.
00:11:40.220In other words, we don't want them to really figure out what's going on.
00:11:44.060This is the guy, by the way, who's the head literally of, like, the Associated Press of Mexico.
00:11:48.940So they're scared and they're nervous, and I appreciate the war room and the war room posse buying the book.
00:11:56.280We are number one on the New York Times list, despite the fact that nobody in the establishment media wanted that to happen.
00:12:03.300No, they still refuse to review it because there's too many truths in here.
00:12:07.780Before you go to break, this, to have a, in Mexico, a journalist actually ask her about this book shows you how afraid they are because the media class down there, et cetera, is very tuned into what's the government's happening.
00:12:24.260So this clearly, they're hearing that, hey, this guy Schweitzer, who's very prominent in the MAGA movement, has written five New York Times bestsellers in a row.
00:12:35.000So this book's getting a wide, a wide hearing, Invisible Coup.
00:12:38.920It was dangerous enough that they felt they had to ask her, and it sounded like she wanted to get out in front of this, too, saying, this man is a total liar.
00:12:53.100I mean, are you pretty impressed that the book would have that impact in Mexico and they just wouldn't say, schluff it off, we don't have to address this?
00:13:00.360Clearly, they felt they had to address it.
00:13:02.520Yeah, and you also had the Mexican ambassador to the United States go on with Maria Bartiromo yesterday on Fox News on her Sunday show, and she asked him about it.
00:13:13.800And we got the same kind of answer, which was, oh, no, no, we would absolutely never do that.
00:13:23.080Scheinbaum also, in her responses to the book, also attempted to sort of separate Trump from me, saying, well, this guy's kind of crazy and Trump doesn't buy into this stuff.
00:13:36.280Obviously, I'm not going to speak for President Trump, but I did meet with him, and we talked about the book, and he sent out a very nice comment on True Social, appraising the book, telling everybody to buy it.
00:13:49.300And I would add, Steve, we're starting to slowly get the wheels grinding in Washington.
00:13:54.900I've been asked by Senator Schmidt in Missouri to testify before the Judiciary Committee in March on the China birthright citizenship.
00:14:03.040And I think we're going to start getting some action in some of the other government agencies to really start taking the fight to the people that have weaponized immigration against us.
00:14:12.480If you just stay through the break, in fact, I want to pivot next to China.
00:14:15.800Xi put out a notice over the weekend that he intends to have the Chinese currency compete with the United States as a prime reserve currency.
00:14:25.660If you read Peter's book, Invisible Coup, you understand that the strategies of Mexico and the CCP are quite different.
00:15:52.020And for every $5,000 you buy, you'll get an ounce of silver for your stocking or for your kids.
00:15:59.260What a great way to teach them about saving smartly.
00:16:02.780Just text my name, Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, to 989898 to claim your eligibility for this offer.
00:16:09.320Again, text Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, to the number 989898 today because Birch Gold's free silver with qualifying purchase promotion ends the 22nd of December of this year.
00:16:32.820First of all, thank you for having me, Maria.
00:16:37.160I think that facts are much better than opinions.
00:16:41.320And I just want to tell you that when he says that we're working against President Trump, you know that the vote of Latinos to President Trump rose from 28% in 2016 to 48% in 2025.
00:17:04.400Mexican migration has been dropping constantly since 2000.
00:17:12.820And so what you see is that reality offers a very different view.
00:17:17.640Mexican and United States government are working very, very closely in order to tackle the migratory issue.
00:17:29.220You've heard President Trump saying in the U.N. and in Davos that the border is the most secure border in the world.
00:17:38.540And regarding security, you know that deaths because of fentanyl overdose have dropped 27% in the U.S.
00:17:46.880And that's because President Xi Jinping has been very, very tough against Mexican cartels.
00:17:55.100You know that she sent 10,000 soldiers to the border.
00:19:22.740And then they have all this stuff that they are doing.
00:19:24.920They talk about it amongst themselves in Mexico.
00:19:27.940So it's time to cast off these official statements and deal with the realities of the things that they say amongst themselves, which I think is completely shocking and contrary to everything they're saying in public.
00:19:40.020No, you've nailed the subtitle of the book is how American elites and foreign powers use immigration as a weapon.
00:19:46.040They're using it as a weapon for the reconquista.
00:24:34.100When the Mexican government is responding to questions from Maria Bartiroma and Scheinbaum's trying to defend it by, you know, spinning, you got something serious.
00:24:48.820We've had people from the new federal state, other experts.
00:24:52.340What's going on in China, because that's going to inform our discussion with Natalie Winters.
00:24:56.320Is this a coup by the military to try to take out Xi, or is this a Xi consolidation of power?
00:25:01.280Is Xi on the ropes, or is he more powerful than ever, sir?
00:25:06.880Xi is more powerful than ever, and I've been very concerned, and I've expressed it to you offline, that there seems to be a large amount of Internet traffic coming to us, telling us that Xi is, you know, isolated, under threat, has no control over the PLA.
00:25:29.120Others say he was having a coup against the PLA.
00:25:32.020A year ago, they said the general that Xi just purged was consolidating things for Xi.
00:25:38.980There are a lot of rumors out there, and if you go back over the last three or four years, there's been rumors about Chinese ballistic missile submarines sinking in the East China Sea.
00:25:54.600And now they're telling us that Xi is, you know, at risk and isolated, and that there is no capability in the PLA, that the PLA will not fight for him.
00:26:04.380And these are all really wrong rumors that are not based upon fact.
00:26:10.940We have just seen over the last, you know, five years, China has increased their flights around Taiwan by fivefold.
00:26:19.060They went from over 380 flights in 2020 to 5,700 flights this last year.
00:26:25.620They're flying across the Taiwan Strait.
00:26:27.620They never flew across the Taiwan Strait with military aircraft for 60 years, and since 2020, they're flying 1,000 times a year across the Strait.
00:26:38.760They're doing exercises, firing missiles at Taiwan.
00:26:42.140The PLA Navy is the largest in the world.
00:26:44.360They have the most anti-ship cruise missiles in the world.
00:26:47.600Xi reformed the PLA in 2015 from seven military regions to five theater commands.
00:26:54.520They have an information support force that they didn't have before that supports all the theater commands.
00:27:00.560They have a joint logistic support force that supports the five theater commands.
00:27:05.220And they are actually expanding their military operations around the world, not just in the Far East, but with the Russians in the Sea of Japan, in the Arctic, in the Mediterranean, down off of South Africa here in the last month.
00:27:19.020So what we're seeing from all military evidence is that the PLA is on this trajectory.
00:27:36.040And we just saw in the last two weeks, since all this rumors of this alleged coup, Xi is meeting with the prime minister of Canada, the prime minister of Finland.
00:27:47.320He's meeting with the prime minister of Uruguay right now.
00:27:50.680He's going to meet with the chancellor of Germany next week.
00:27:53.840So he's meeting with all these leaders.
00:27:56.440There's been reports of gunfire and shooting in the streets of Beijing.
00:28:04.660And I don't want to assert why people are doing this, but I think some people have a hope that things are cracking in China and they're trying to feed this mindset.
00:28:14.800But the reality is that's not happening.
00:31:37.660Tell them you're a tale of woe and get a free assessment or tax.
00:31:41.160Then go to tnusa.com and go there today.
00:31:45.180Natalie Winters, by the way, when Peter Schweitzer told me, Natalie, that he thinks you're the single best investigator into things on the Chinese Communist Party,
00:31:53.880that's a pretty high compliment coming from a guy that's had back-to-back New York Times number one bestsellers about the Chinese Communist Party.
00:32:00.400But Peter knows your diligence and reads your stuff and studies it like every China hand does.
00:32:06.620You just had Captain Fennell, who is, you know, former senior naval intelligence out in the Pacific fleet and really gave up his career to warn the nation during the Obama presidency about the rise of the Chinese military,
00:32:18.760and particularly the Chinese Navy, and what dilemma that was going to put us into in Taiwan, Eastern Europe, Eastern Asia, you know, Taiwan Straits, South China Sea, East China Sea, plus the Pacific Islands that are American territories.
00:32:35.180You've been doing a lot of independent research recently.
00:32:37.800I know you went to Asia and just came back again for the second time to Japan.
00:32:44.100Jim, when Captain Fennell was walking through it, didn't talk about the UK.
00:32:48.240I think one of the most humiliating things I've ever seen is Starmer going over there.
00:32:53.920And what it showed me is what I was talking to the captain about, the long memory of the Chinese and the Chinese Communist Party.
00:33:00.600This ritual humiliation of Starmer while he was kowtowing shows you they have not forgotten the opium war.
00:33:08.320They have not forgotten what happened around Hong Kong.
00:33:11.020They have not forgotten how they thought they had to kowtow to the British Empire.
00:33:15.420Ma'am, you've been doing a lot of research.
00:33:16.760Talk to me first about the string of meetings that she's had with these foreign leaders over the last couple weeks.
00:33:23.220Well, look, I think we're in an era of global fealty to China, and you're seeing that on full display right now.
00:33:28.680And I think the past that you're discussing, which is certainly informing the present, certainly scary.
00:33:33.740But I think what's even more concerning is really the Chinese Communist Party's conception of the future.
00:33:40.600You know, you heard it from Mark Carney himself, right, this concept of the new world order.
00:33:44.220That's something we've been talking about for a while, whereby China is the new sort of global hegemon replacing the United States.
00:33:50.840And I think that when you see what's going on, particularly with the Central Military Commission and the escalation of things in Taiwan, I think it's fair to say that's going from the sort of kinetic flashpoint for all of the diplomatic meetings that you're seeing going on.
00:34:06.720I think they're at their sixth high-level, you know, government president-to-president meeting already for 2026, like Captain Finnell said, with the Uruguayan leader there right now.
00:34:17.620But I think what's so important to understand about the changes on the CMC, which, of course, follows, you know, significant overhaul.
00:34:24.940Basically, everybody is gone now, the second in command, not just on the CMC, but to Xi Jinping being ousted.
00:34:32.320I think there's sort of this common misconception that it's the older generals who are really hostile and want to move on Taiwan, when in reality, it's the younger ones, particularly those that we've seen be appointed to be commanders, sort of in the Eastern theater, obviously more relevant to Taiwan.
00:34:47.580But those are the people who, not just because they have this sort of fealty and almost this weird, in the most traditional sense, political correctness, where they don't want to madden Xi Jinping, they don't feel like they can stand up to him.
00:34:59.880Whereas the, you know, old guard is a little more hesitant.
00:35:02.800You even saw that with, you know, the second in command who was just relieved or is being investigated.
00:35:07.020Now, he was sort of more on the 2035 timeline for potentially being ready for a Taiwan invasion, as opposed to the more aggressive 2027 version.
00:35:15.320I also think it's worth noting, too, that the individual who was just ousted, he was sort of the point person, at least for a while under Joe Biden, having sort of, you know, back channel discussions, at least military to military comms, related to Taiwan, related to a host of issues.
00:35:33.580And I think that that dynamic is going to be very interesting to watch in the shakeup, because essentially what you're going to see is that everybody over there, no one is going to want to converse with the United States, converse with Taiwan, converse with the West, right?
00:35:48.300Because the guy who was basically the point person on doing that was ousted, not necessarily for doing that, but I think it sets a really concerning cascade effect.
00:35:57.580I also would point to, I think what you saw go on in Venezuela, obviously the reporting talking about how, you know, the Chinese air defense systems there failed.
00:36:05.760That's pretty damning for the Chinese, obviously they're going to recalibrate after that, so I think that's why you've seen such a significant overhaul, too.
00:36:16.140And I think the most important thing to understand the internal dynamics there is that the only thing that Xi Jinping fears is really a military coup, which I think you could see happen if a Taiwan invasion were to actually occur,
00:36:30.000but more importantly to drag on in sort of a Russia-style invasion, so I think those are the relevant dynamics at play.
00:36:37.320But I also think something that the audience really needs to stay ahead of the curve on, of course, Western media is not going to cover it.
00:36:43.320They actually think that everything that's going on at the CMC is good for Taiwan.
00:36:48.600But that is what's going on with the KMT and the Chinese Communist Party, the KMT being the opposition to the DPP, which favors a much stronger defense, not just subsidized by America, but by Taiwan itself, against the Chinese Communist Party.
00:37:05.720They're pushing a special defense budget right now, around 40 billion U.S. dollars that the KMT, which are basically, let's just call them what they are, the CCP over in Taiwan, are desperately trying to kill.
00:37:17.380And really an affront to the Taiwanese people, they are, I think, concluding shortly, but making really a concerning three-day delegation trip visit to the mainland, to Beijing, meeting with high-level Chinese Communist Party officials, particularly on the Taiwan desk, visiting Tsinghua University, doing the whole pomp and circumstance, the whole tour over there, with the vice chairman of the party,
00:37:42.260and about 40 scholars from the think tank that is affiliated with the party there, this, of course, being a precursor to having the actual chairman of the party go over there, though, of course, you know, the KMT had to do a lot of favors to the Chinese Communist Party to even get this meeting in the first place.
00:37:58.000But this, I think, is really concerning.
00:37:59.560Obviously, we focus on the sort of hybrid warfare, the gray zone stuff, the political infiltration, but this is pretty in your face, right?
00:38:07.040Obviously, the KMT is pretty hollowed out by the Chinese Communist Party, but the kowtowing and the groveling, particularly over the special defense budget, obviously the Trump administration, you know, allotted billions of dollars to Taiwan, but Taiwan themselves are focusing on, particularly through the legislative yuan, trying to get the $40 billion passed.
00:38:26.400The KMT, so that's the CCP, you know, proxy party, has 52 seats, the DPP has 51, and then the TPP has about eight seats.
00:38:36.060So that's where you have more wiggle room with that party.
00:38:39.320But what you're seeing really is the Chinese Communist Party, by all means necessary, trying to sabotage the special defense budget, because it's so instrumental to Taiwan's defense, but also that you've seen signaling from the United States and President Trump that they support it too.
00:38:53.340So I think all of these things together show you that Xi Jinping is extremely emboldened, and anybody who's saying otherwise, that's just nonsense talk.
00:39:04.840I've been hearing China's going to collapse for decades now, before I was ever born.
00:39:09.200That's not quite true, and rhetoric like that, I think, is pretty dangerous.
00:39:15.460Captain Fennell, does everything Natalie's saying, everything that you've been saying, does, is Xi still focused, are we still on the path to a potential invasion of Taiwan in 27 or 28, given everything that you see right now in weighing, measuring everything that Natalie's talking about?
00:39:37.680I have, for, since 2012, I have been talking about the decade of concern.
00:39:43.240If you go back and relive Hu Jintao, the previous leader, and Xi Jinping, when he took over, they ordered the PLA to have the capability to take Taiwan as early as 2020.
00:39:55.140And I believe that the latest date is around 2030.
00:39:58.220Then, when Admiral Davidson left PACOM, when he retired, he came out and mentioned that there was this 2027 timeline based on the 100th anniversary of the PLA.
00:40:08.320It could be in 2027, but I guarantee you that Xi understands that in order to have this ceremony in Beijing on 1 October 2049, the 100th anniversary of the People's Republic of China, that whoever that paramount leader is, they have to be able to say that they have restored China.
00:40:28.140They have taken all that they claim is theirs, the South China Sea, Taiwan, the Senkakus, the Ryukus, disputed territories with India, territories with Mongolia, possibly, even with Korea and Russia.
00:40:40.920They have to restore all that into their ownership.
00:40:44.920And the one that they cannot get right now has been Taiwan.
00:40:48.120And they prefer not to use force, but both Hu Jintao and I believe Jiang Zemin, but we know Hu Jintao ordered the PLA, and we know Xi ordered the PLA to be ready to take Taiwan as early as 2020.
00:41:01.540And they know that they can't use military force much past 2030 and expect the world to forget what they do and then come back to Beijing and have a big celebration like they did in the 2008 Summer Olympics when the world came and watched the opening ceremony like George Bush did with his jacket off and his sweat stains under his armpits in the Bird's Nest Stadium.
00:41:24.040So we're in this most critical time right now, the next three, four years, where Xi is measuring and knows that he has to either get Taiwan to buckle, and good on Natalie for mentioning the KMT is over in China right now.
00:41:40.740So he's working beneath the scenes to try to break Taiwan's will down.
00:41:46.720But if he doesn't get that through non-kinetic means, he has prepared the military to take action.
00:41:53.140And what he has been doing over this last two years is systematically, like a biathlete, shooting the targets in the target zone, those Central Military Commission members.
00:42:04.620He's taken them out one by one, all the resistors.
00:42:07.900And now what he has, as Natalie correctly mentioned, a younger generation of officers who's very, very keen on taking back what they've been told their whole lives is that Taiwan is Chinese territory, and they want to take it.
00:42:22.200Look at the Minister of Defense, Admiral Don Jung.
00:42:26.680He is an admiral, the first time they've ever had an admiral in charge of the Ministry of Defense.
00:42:33.840He's not a member of the CMC right now.
00:42:36.840But Admiral Don's background is that he is someone that was in charge of the Eastern Theater Command, the East Sea Command, that was responsible, and they formed their first joint command back over 15 years ago to take Taiwan.
00:42:54.560So he is intimately involved with planning to take Taiwan, and he is in charge of the Ministry of Defense.
00:43:01.860And the Western China watchers say, well, he has no power, no influence, because he's not a CMC member.
00:43:07.860He's just a diplomatic guy, and he only does diplomatic issues.
00:43:11.220I disagree with that, and I think that there's a lot of evidence that suggests that they are on this path, and we keep, in the West, deflating that threat.
00:43:20.960And what it does is it tells Congress, oh, you don't really have to pass these bills that are necessary to re-transform the U.S. military.
00:43:29.460And President Trump got it, you know, on this issue of the purges.
00:43:34.920What did the president say yesterday on Air Force One when asked about it?
00:43:39.060The man in the world that's got the most intelligence is Donald Trump.
00:44:36.180They sell or write off the debt to clear their books.
00:44:39.380That means if you have credit card debt and unpaid bills, lenders may be more open to negotiating and settling your account before you're in.
00:44:48.260That means right now, and I mean right now, you may actually have leverage.
00:44:54.580And Done With Debt knows how to use this to your advantage.

00:45:52.940Does Peter Schweitzer's book, Invisible Coup, show the actions of Xi and his regime are at active unrestricted warfare within the United States, ma'am?
00:46:06.080I think, of course, we've been documenting this for years, but I also think I would use this, you know, final minute to also say that it's not just the Chinese Communist Party.
00:46:15.700The United States is also really good right now at shooting itself in the foot, right?
00:46:20.780China's undergoing mass-scale mobilization, military-civil fusion, you name it, right?
00:46:27.480Our defense primes are so behind on producing numbers that still would put us behind the rate of, you know, Chinese buildup that it's despicable.
00:46:45.140And I don't understand still why we're giving chips, why we're giving these critical technologies to a country that has explicitly said that they are trying to destroy us and replace us.
00:46:53.940And we're seeing that on full display right now, and that's very kind of Peter to say that.
00:46:58.220I remember growing up reading his books.
00:46:59.440He's a wonderful researcher, and I'm going to have a story coming out soon talking about how there's now Chinese Communist Party-linked groups that are getting in on the take when it comes to defunding ICE.
00:47:21.380On all platforms, you can see the latest story, if you can believe it, the WHO did a pandemic simulation eerily similar to the lockdowns that we're seeing right now happen across Southeast Asia just last December.
00:47:47.360So Chad Mizell, he came on the show the other day, and man, Annie McCarthy, who's really a Trump derangement syndrome, he went off.
00:47:55.720You made this case that, hey, we're looking for people.
00:47:58.440I said, hey, look, the top law firms, the Federalist Society, a lot of groups have said have put a ban on working at Maine Justice for President Trump.
00:48:06.400One of the reasons, besides blue slips, they only got 14 of the 94 U.S. attorneys.
00:48:11.160You said you're working on a project now to make sure people have careers after they work.
00:48:15.180He went off on you and the whole thing that, oh, we're not looking for the best and the brightest.
00:48:23.440This is all just a, this is another move of fascism, and Chad Mizell is off base.
00:48:28.180Now, you were former chief of staff over Maine Justice.
00:48:31.040Explain, just take a couple minutes, explain to Annie McCarthy what you, in fact, are doing.
00:48:35.220Steve, thanks so much for having me again.
00:48:39.520It's a shame I have to do this, but let me first start with the Constitution of the United States, because Annie clearly doesn't understand that.
00:48:45.980It says in Article 2, all executive power shall be vested in a president of the United States.
00:48:52.100Unlike some of the other articles, this one vests all power in a single person.
00:48:56.060That means any time an executive branch officer is using executive power, an AUSA indicting somebody, charging someone, convicting somebody, bringing criminal evidence against somebody, all of that is executive power.
00:49:12.820That means if the president doesn't like how you're using his executive power, he's free to tell you, stop, use it in a different way.
00:49:20.400And the way he communicates that to all of us is via executive orders.
00:49:24.120So if you are not on board with the president's agenda, if you're not on board with the executive orders, he is free to say, you're not allowed to use my executive power.
00:49:32.900And, in fact, I don't want you in my government.
00:49:35.800And, Steve, that's exactly what we were able to do at DOJ.
00:49:40.120You know, my job as chief of staff, working with Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, was to try to root out a lot of this stuff.
00:49:52.740On day one, we dismissed about 100 people who we thought were working against Donald J. Trump.
00:49:58.040Over the course of the next several months, thousands of people from DOJ who honestly looked themselves in the mirror and said, we cannot enforce this policy, they left.
00:50:07.040And, Steve, I have a lot of respect for them because that's how government should work.
00:50:10.520It should work that if you can't follow the wishes of the duly elected president of the United States, then you need to leave.
00:50:19.760And all we're looking for now are people who want to follow his agenda, who actually want to see law enforcement carried out in the United States and who are looking forward to doing that and want to be part of the team.
00:50:32.120Chad, where do people go for your social media?
00:50:34.500Because this fight is only going to heat up because it's more intense than ever to get the right people in there and make sure that people in there want to follow the president's instructions.
00:50:42.140So where do people go on your social media?
00:50:44.060Because I can tell you, Annie McCarthy is not going to back off this.
00:51:26.700I want everybody to be a force multiplier.
00:51:29.920Please get that clip from Chad and let's push it out hard.
00:51:32.400We've already had hundreds of people respond, and nothing could be more important for us right now in taking on the deep state and effectuating President Trump's policies than making sure we get at Maine Justice and these U.S.
00:53:33.500Do you owe back taxes or haven't filled in years?
00:53:43.620Now is the time to resolve your tax matters.
00:53:46.600When the national conversation around abolishing the income tax system,
00:53:49.960the IRS is fighting back and proving it's here to stay by becoming more aggressive than ever before.
00:53:56.100They're sending out more collection notices, filing more tax liens, and collecting billions more than in recent years.
00:54:03.420If you owe, the IRS can garnish your wages, levy your bank accounts, seize your retirement, even your home.
00:54:10.280If you owe or haven't filed, it's not a question that the IRS will act, it's when the IRS will act.
00:54:18.300Now right now, Tax Network USA is offering a completely free IRS research and discovery call to show you exactly where you stand and what they can stop before it's too late.
00:54:29.660Their powerful programs and strategies can save you thousands or even eliminate your debt entirely if you qualify.
