00:00:47.680 so you know what spare me to the media the pundits and the talking heads to the protesters on the
00:01:01.760 streets and their political friends here in the halls of power we know who you are
00:01:07.260 we know what you care about it's not humanity or empathy or compassion it is raw
00:01:17.080 power
00:01:18.100 and we know what you do with that power and we've seen what you do with that power
00:01:25.240 the empty chair at the riley family dinner table is the cost of what we paid for your power
00:01:33.720 and it's our patriotic duty to ensure you never get close to power again
00:01:39.440 let me say this also to my friends and colleagues in my party don't give these people an inch
00:01:46.540 don't fall for their moral blackmail don't let them negotiate or squirm squirm their way into
00:01:53.560 killing the president's mass deportation agenda the american people support it don't let them talk
00:01:59.040 you into believing that this is about justice that's not what they care about you know what i care about
00:02:05.740 i care about americans i care about the people who are risking their lives
00:02:12.520 in the freezing cold to enforce our laws rather than the ones who are hell-bent on breaking it
00:02:20.260 i care about the people who are trying to get these kinds of monsters who rape and murder our daughters
00:02:27.280 out of our country rather than the ones who want to put their bodies on the line to keep them here
00:02:32.800 thursday 5 february in the year of lord 2026 honored to have senator eric schmidt
00:02:39.420 senator why is it that we're not hearing more of what you pounded on the senate floor yesterday now
00:02:47.400 we need to come together not just as a party not just as a mega movement but as a country and to
00:02:53.440 basically talk the truth and talk to in brutal fact as you did yesterday why is that not happening
00:03:00.220 more on capitol hill sir well i think we're gaining momentum that's the good news last week
00:03:07.400 um when we got back here um i did feel like you know maybe that uh that some people were more
00:03:15.700 interested in negotiating with the democrats to make our make ice officers jobs harder that's not
00:03:21.080 going to happen so last week i went on the senate floor twice um this week did it again we're rolling
00:03:26.800 out our own proposal like if the democrats want to talk about this that's fine
00:03:30.200 but guess what we end sanctuary cities then right we're not giving them an inch we should end
00:03:35.800 sanctuary cities i've got a bill that would make uh increase the penalties for illegal entry and
00:03:40.780 illegal re-entry um let's let's defund these ngos and let's protect our eye saving agents by stiffening
00:03:47.940 the penalties that's the kind of stuff people want that's the kind of fighting spirit we need to
00:03:51.540 have right now there's just no way i want to assure your audience this the democrats have created
00:03:57.420 this problem they let 15 to 20 million people in here illegally and yesterday went on the floor
00:04:01.860 that clip you played to talk about the american daughters who've been victimized by these monsters
00:04:06.940 who came across and invaded our country and i think we have to stiffen our spine steve right now this is a
00:04:13.320 very important moment not just in the news cycle but for our country and our civilization we're either
00:04:19.180 going to side with law and order or we're going to side with chaos the democrats are hellbent on
00:04:23.680 importing millions and millions more people here illegally we have to be the we have to be that
00:04:29.320 bulwark that stops it and so i'm continuing to bang that drum i do think more and more people are
00:04:34.600 seeing it that way but we're going to find out we got a two-week window here now where the democrats
00:04:39.420 want to enter into this fake negotiation my perspective is no more phony deals what they really
00:04:44.380 want to do is kneecap ice and have de facto amnesty and we shouldn't have anything to do with that
00:04:48.840 just before i gotta ask you some questions about that before we do that it's no doubt in your mind
00:04:55.240 president trump won a mandate from the american people in november 2024 on this very topic sir
00:05:00.020 100 and i actually think steven you know this better than anybody the electrical cord that
00:05:05.900 connects when he came down the escalator to this very moment was him bring not only bringing up the
00:05:10.980 issue of illegal immigration but saying i'm the guy that's gonna you know fix what joe biden did in
00:05:15.940 this country it was i was with him a lot on the campaign trail and his travel stops you know there
00:05:20.480 were two main themes that he would always talk about which was you know dealing with the inflation
00:05:24.420 issues and the tariffs were part of that uh the expert class has been wrong about that as we've seen
00:05:28.900 as he's rebalancing that equation but then also immigration and i would also say and i've tried to
00:05:34.440 make a point of this too it's not just illegal immigration we have a legal immigration problem in this
00:05:39.620 country we've seen the abuse with h1b we've seen the abuse abuse with opt we're effectively we're
00:05:44.860 displacing american workers we're displacing american students i think that's the next wave here but
00:05:50.260 right now in this conversation about dhs we're talking about enforcement and i 100 agree with you
00:05:55.520 that this is foundational for our movement this issue uh we we this is a home game for us we should
00:06:01.620 treat it like that i want to talk about that home game so we're a year from you know what 15 months
00:06:06.880 from november 24 you stay pretty close to your constituents what are your constituents telling you
00:06:12.800 right now about these topics sir that they want to meet mass migration with mass deportations
00:06:20.780 um and if you look at the polling um does it pull a little bit higher to say we're going to get rid of
00:06:26.460 these hardened criminals and send them back yes but it's also a vast majority especially of republicans
00:06:31.480 but including the general public they want to deport people who've come here illegally um and i think
00:06:37.620 they saw what would happen i mentioned in that speech we we've seen what the democrats will do with
00:06:42.260 power and we can't let that happen again but while we are in power we ought to do something about it
00:06:49.600 and prove to the american people that we are worthy of their trust and i think president trump
00:06:54.160 has crystallized that issue better than anybody um you know pap buchanan of course was talking about
00:07:00.100 it 30 years ago you've been talking about it but president trump was able to win two elections now
00:07:04.340 in office to get in to take on this issue and we can't we can't let the democrats sort of deal this
00:07:09.760 away with these ideas that may seem somewhat innocuous but their their um intention really
00:07:15.320 is to limit the ability of ice to do their jobs so now this entire thing has now come to the u.s senate
00:07:21.880 you said this was a fake negotiation we saw uh i think was last night or yesterday they gave us their
00:07:27.600 demands which is essentially do away with ice you're coming back you've got some alternatives we've only got
00:07:33.500 what i think now we had 15 days i think we're down to 14 or 13 uh we you know we've got this whole thing
00:07:39.360 about can we get a cr can we finance it haven't we played into their hands that they've got these
00:07:45.120 requirements that everyone's non-negotiable in addition if the 15 days runs out doesn't ice just
00:07:52.180 stop getting funded i mean don't they have all the leverage here or do you see a way that you can take
00:07:57.920 a machete and cut your way through here yeah i actually here's here's how i see it steve i am i
00:08:05.040 am glad we we have an this is isolated now this is an issue that we have now we have to be unafraid
00:08:11.920 uh to talk about it and we have to be unafraid uh to make the case but the american people are with
00:08:18.340 us on this we can't be you know we can't be uh weak here and i think what we say is this has been
00:08:24.460 isolated here's the other thing that that um gets lost a little bit too in the one big beautiful bill
00:08:29.300 or the working families tax cut that we passed last summer we front-loaded all this money for ice we
00:08:34.400 front-loaded tens of billions of dollars for detention centers we front-loaded tens of billions
00:08:39.100 of dollars for deportation efforts for bonuses there have been 200 000 people steve applied to be ice
00:08:46.840 agents in this country so what you see is this groundswell of support among real americans you know in
00:08:52.300 in my state and other places who understand like who have common sense who want to tackle this we
00:08:57.300 can't yield to it so basically here's what happens if this cr expires and next friday or whenever it
00:09:03.400 is um ice is going to have their money the only money that's not going to flow is to fema and to tsa
00:09:10.220 so we do have the leverage here there's no reason in the world for us to capitulate to the democrats
00:09:16.160 demands i think we say hell no we've got our own proposals they're not going to want to do those
00:09:20.220 but if they want to defund fema and they want to defund tsa that's going to be on them so i think
00:09:24.840 we actually have the leverage if we play our cards right if we do not you know if we're not weak and
00:09:29.440 try to cut some deal with the democrats again whose only purpose here is to defang any attempts to
00:09:33.440 enforce our immigration laws but isn't that the rub i mean you're a tougher correct me if i'm wrong but
00:09:39.480 your tougher negotiation right now is going to be within the senate republican caucus sir
00:09:44.700 yeah um well yes i mean we just got to make sure which is why i keep going to the senate floor
00:09:53.520 and why i'm banging this drum i've seen this um i i saw this look i i ferguson's in my backyard
00:10:02.140 i was attorney general in 2020 with the george floyd riots with the soros prosecutor uh in my backyard
00:10:07.980 i've seen this play before i know what they do um they try to take an incident they're trying to
00:10:13.320 create these confrontations steve to have some viral moment so that we lose our will to do what
00:10:20.000 the american people sent us to do and we can't do it i think we're really at a critical point in our
00:10:24.180 country where we the american people have given us this mandate to go do it and i think if we if we
00:10:30.460 if we fail at this it'd be catastrophic for our movement and for the country because we have to be
00:10:37.140 the ones that say no a country that can't say no can't say yes to anything that's important
00:10:40.900 and um and i think that's where we're at right now so i what i've tried to do is provide uh some
00:10:46.840 experience when i was ag we fought the biden administration every turn on their mass uh um
00:10:52.620 migration agenda we were successful for a while i wrote about that in the book the last line of
00:10:57.740 defense we were successful for a while holding that off but ultimately what we what was proven was
00:11:02.280 that laws on the books that aren't enforced don't mean much so we have laws on the books that if they
00:11:06.880 are if they are enforced you see right now a secure border that we have but we have to move forward
00:11:10.320 with the agenda of deportations look it's one of your experience is one of the reasons the president
00:11:14.740 reaches out to you and seeks your counsel but you've you're putting up what you said at the top
00:11:19.260 a very well thought through uh counter to what the dem this ridiculous thing the democrats put up
00:11:25.780 are your colleagues in the senate are you do you have now i take it 45 co-sponsors already just by
00:11:32.240 sending it around yeah i think i i think we're gaining momentum by the day and that's what i try to
00:11:40.260 say in the darkest moment in a in a senate lunch last week well i don't say darkest moment but but
00:11:45.320 but when maybe some people were willing to to by the way not knowing things like this idea of having
00:11:52.520 judicial warrants would absolutely grind to halt deportations we have warrants right now they're
00:11:58.500 called administrative warrants these are article two powers for civil removal that's what they're doing
00:12:04.220 and that by the way that's what's happened steve for decades but it shows you republicans and
00:12:08.680 democrat presidents alike you know this right so so we got it we can't yield on these things we're not
00:12:13.540 going to it shows you they're not going to unmask these ice agents and cause their families to be
00:12:18.280 harmed but they shows you they're not in good faith and they put judicial warrants out it would take us
00:12:22.380 15 million years to deport 15 million people it's it's it's ridiculous right what do you need you're
00:12:27.500 obviously a big favorite of the war room audience the war and posse we got about a minute minute and
00:12:33.420 a half walk through what you need from this audience what do we need to do to have your back
00:12:38.980 and those fighters in the senate over the next couple of days because this is where it's going
00:12:43.380 to be determined so what do you need from us i think just encouraging um republicans here to say
00:12:49.880 hey look um we were sent here to make sure we have this deportation effort we can't yield right now
00:12:55.140 this is not the time the democrats are being ridiculous they just want to inhibit that ability
00:12:59.500 to enforce our immigration laws hold firm don't cut a deal with them that would make it impossible
00:13:04.400 for ice to do their jobs senator schmidt where can people uh where can people follow you social media
00:13:10.440 website all of it yeah schmidt for senate um dot com is the website and uh eric underscore schmidt on
00:13:17.860 on on twitter we're on facebook um love the war room thank you guys for all you do um you guys are
00:13:24.260 great patriots and we're gonna we're gonna keep fighting you're a big uh audience favorite and
00:13:29.600 you uh do missouri right in the senate the nation's capital folks in missouri i hope understand that uh
00:13:34.860 should be very proud of your your fight and man we got a fight over the next 10 days so thank you
00:13:39.480 sir for coming on yes sir take care okay folks let's pile into those senate numbers i'll put it up in
00:13:48.260 the next segment we need them to hold the line we need toughness we need to back down these democrats
00:13:55.160 we cannot compromise on anything that democrats put out as we've talked about over the last couple of
00:14:00.100 days are ridiculous and eric schmidt having been an attorney general missouri tells you the
00:14:04.300 the judicial warrants shows shows you that they're not serious the democrats are not serious about this
00:14:09.460 what they they don't want any deportations forget mass deportations they don't want the worst
00:14:15.220 criminals deported that's why it hasn't been unprecedented cooperation unprecedented non-cooperation

00:16:28.080 you can make that work thank you mr chairman so for a solid year while he ran for president
00:16:34.880 donald trump promised pretty much every day that he was going to lower costs on day one on day one
00:16:41.660 if he was elected those were his words not mine so secretary beset you are one of the president's top
00:16:47.940 economic advisors let's just start with a little truth telling about the trump economy one year in
00:16:55.640 affordability is the top concern for americans across the country donald trump has called affordability
00:17:03.300 i want to get this right a hoax he's called it a scam he's called it a con job you're the secretary of
00:17:11.000 treasury you know the numbers is affordability a hoax a scam or a con job senator it may be a bit
00:17:21.420 nuance for you but what president trump is referring to is the media saying that the affordability crisis
00:17:28.220 was generated by this administration when it was you and president biden who destroyed the buying
00:17:33.920 power of the american people so there is an affordability crisis and you were front and center
00:17:39.260 in it so let me make sure that i understand donald trump is not saying that affordability what's
00:17:46.400 happening to families right now is a hoax he he is saying that trying to lay the blame at this
00:17:51.840 administration rather than the biden warren economy is a hoax okay so it all happened before he got it
00:17:59.060 and everything that's happened since then nothing is a hoax 21 21.5 percent cumulative inflation let me just
00:18:06.860 ask about what's happened in the one year that donald trump has been president last week president trump
00:18:14.020 said quote i can only take so much of it's it's properly pronounced focahannas as in foe
00:18:21.940 a foe native american is elizabeth warren steve cortez i got philip patrick on deck just your comments
00:18:27.700 the whole the whole hearing has been like this just attack attack attack of scott besson your thoughts
00:18:34.240 well steve thank goodness we have scott besson he is the most principled and skilled secretary of the
00:18:40.420 treasury perhaps since alexander hamilton who we mentioned earlier he also clearly has the patience
00:18:45.760 of job that he is able to tolerate that kind of harangue from an antifa karen like elizabeth warren
00:18:53.460 and when it comes to this issue of affordability he's exactly correct in stating we don't want to hear
00:18:58.740 about fire safety from the arsonist the very arsonist who lit the inflation inferno in the first place
00:19:07.540 as a matter of fact thankfully secretary besant president trump others are doing yeoman's work
00:19:13.220 in addressing this affordability crisis largely through deportations as we also cited earlier but
00:19:20.100 again the the problem was created on the watch of joe biden and elizabeth warren they don't now get to
00:19:26.980 grandstand and lecture to a brilliant man a brilliant leader like scott besson about how he should solve
00:19:33.220 it when they caused the problem in the first place philip patrick to go back to that inflation to go
00:19:38.340 back to the uh the affordability issue this is why we started into the dollar empire on their watch we
00:19:44.500 knew exactly what uh what biden was going to do and it was that massive federal spending over the top
00:19:49.460 federal spending that everybody warning or i shouldn't say everybody warning at the time democrats
00:19:53.460 all it's just going to be temporary it's just going to be fleeting but we could see the destruction of
00:19:57.860 the u.s dollar and that's where we are today that's 25 on biden's uh watch and this is i just
00:20:05.220 want to make sure people know how to get to you because obviously markets have been all over the
00:20:09.300 place and particularly gold had a huge run backed off another run backed off another run uh what's
00:20:15.540 your recommendation to our audience right now look nothing has changed in terms of the fundamentals
00:20:21.940 um some comments on on what we just listened to uh it was frustrating to say the least but i think
00:20:51.140 very clearly she was just trying to put bessen into a trap it is very obvious you don't get 25
00:20:58.500 percent cumulative inflation by accident that is years of bad policy spending explosions money printing
00:21:06.740 energy shocks and rate suppression under a biden and and warren sort of world view uh so it's an
00:21:14.100 absurdity to try and put it on the shoulders of president trump after 12 years while inflation is at 12
00:21:20.340 months rather while inflation has been coming down it's an absurdity and it's clearly trying to put
00:21:26.100 bessen into a word trap bessen is so far and above these guys when it comes to the economy they're doing
00:21:32.900 a fantastic job as everybody knows it frustrates me to have to listen to those cold opens that's one
00:21:38.500 of the reasons we couldn't even show yesterday because the house as you know is not the senate and it was uh
00:21:43.700 it was just it was embarrassing for the house members the the brutal attacks on scott bessen uh
00:21:49.060 before i let you go um this whole crypto implosion i think 1.7 1.8 trillion dollars of value been wiped
00:21:56.740 off of crypto how does that play as gold as a hedge we know gold's been shifted into this category of
00:22:03.940 maybe a new financial asset by the central banks but what is the implosion of crypto is there a lesson
00:22:10.340 there for people that are looking at physical gold sir look look i i i think the lesson is very clear
00:22:17.460 we understand a lot about precious metals they are counter cyclical they perform very very well during
00:22:24.420 tough times we understand precious metals relationship with other asset classes we know
00:22:30.100 inflation fuels their growth we know gold has an inverse relationship we know they're broadly safe
00:22:35.540 haven assets crypto we're not seeing that right it doesn't have the established relationship with other
00:22:41.460 markets and everything we're seeing so far seems to suggest it broadly pro-cyclical so opposite end of the
00:22:48.420 spectrum this concept that crypto would become the new gold i think as time progresses we're seeing that's not the
00:22:55.780 case i'm not saying there's not value there but to me it looks to be on the opposite end of the spectrum
00:23:01.220 philip how do people get to you uh right now because everybody's saying hey have i missed out on this

00:24:10.100 i mean even on days like today to do that shows you how much he cares about this audience okay uh
00:24:14.740 john solomon uh you wrote an amazing piece we had schmidt up i want you to walk through this thing about
00:24:19.940 the senate because schmidt said hey we can't back off one inch when they put the judicial warrants
00:24:25.140 in there you just realized they're not serious people uh cortez made a very compelling point
00:24:30.500 that the um that the self uh deportations the two million that president trump had in the first
00:24:36.180 year is one of the reasons that affordability particularly in real estate prices and rents
00:24:41.780 are coming back give us your thought your piece are we going to get this done in the senate this
00:24:45.700 week are we going to collapse sir well we'll get it done in the house next week uh the all the
00:24:51.220 whip count is that they have the votes to pass this combined bill this bill that takes a citizenship
00:24:56.980 check and registration and voter id at voting uh as the ultimate uh trust factor in american
00:25:03.620 elections it's something we do every day right we have to show our license when we get on a plane when
00:25:08.180 we get a pack of bear at the store uh when we go to the bar or when we pick up our tickets that will
00:25:13.620 call at a baseball stadium certainly for the most precious right we have in america to vote uh to
00:25:19.460 control our democracy and to have a voice in our constitutional republic so hold on hold it you're
00:25:24.980 saying as a predicate hang a predicate to everything the save act the save america act and make america
00:25:30.020 great again or make elections great again these different bills are around they have different
00:25:34.500 aspects they're all one bill you're saying you're going to combine it into one bill and actually get
00:25:38.740 it passed in the house that's exactly what uh the majority leader steve scully said last night
00:25:45.700 they've combined them into one bill it's called the save america act it's one bill it has three
00:25:50.340 major components of election integrity one you gotta provide proof of citizenship when you register
00:25:56.420 you have to provide a photo id when you vote in a federal election and three states must routinely
00:26:02.340 and aggressively cull their uh voter rolls to make sure no non-citizens are on there we've had tens of
00:26:08.500 thousands of non-citizens be detected on voter rolls in the states over the last uh year or two there's
00:26:13.940 been these audits and they're very disturbing now people say it's only 20 000 in a country 20 000
00:26:18.900 is enough to swing an election as we've seen in these tight races so those numbers are scary in
00:26:23.860 in a modern society it's easy to do this unless you're a democrat state who doesn't want to do it
00:26:29.220 so this bill would force all three of those things it's going to get through the house according
00:26:33.620 to scalise and to chip roy and it will be sent over to the senate and then there's a two-part
00:26:38.980 process in the senate to make this a reality the first is the the democrats are going to filibuster
00:26:44.420 it's time to go back to what a filibuster was meant to be you got to stand on your feet and talk until
00:26:49.140 you drop and the second you drop the filibuster is over there's a lot of old senators uh they ain't
00:26:54.340 going to be able to keep up a four or five or ten or fourteen week thing mitch mccano created the
00:26:59.780 lazy filibuster just say i'm filibustering and you don't have to do it that's ridiculous that's not what
00:27:04.740 our founding fathers ever intended it's not what the the the clay debates and other great moments in
00:27:10.020 in american history where we have lazy senators who now want to have fake filibusters the first uh
00:27:15.700 opportunity is for uh conservatives who want this done to pressure john thune to make it a standing and
00:27:22.260 talking filibuster again that will wear down the democrats they might hold on for five or six weeks
00:27:27.780 but eventually they're going to run out and when they run out each of them gets two turns uh within a
00:27:32.740 few weeks you can get a a simple majority vote and that's step one and step two is getting the
00:27:38.420 republicans on board to approve these three common sense provisions that eighty percent of americans
00:27:43.300 support what's your um how likely is thune to i know this is a huge priority for the president
00:27:52.900 what is your what's the over and under on thune supporting going to a talking or standing filibuster
00:27:59.540 sir i think there needs to be more pressure from the grassroots he's got to feel it to be certain
00:28:04.580 i think he's thinking about it but he's not quite there the president's a very persuasive figure but
00:28:09.220 if tens of thousands of americans had their voice be heard on capitol hill between the next week i think
00:28:14.580 a lot could happen john hang on for one second i got a couple other questions to ask you now that we
00:28:19.380 we got you short commercial break john solomon on the other side

00:29:48.020 here's your host stephen k man
00:29:52.020 john salma's with us for a couple of minutes where he's got to bounce uh john um
00:29:57.460 on night you know besides i keep saying hey you're gonna have to have ice
00:30:01.300 around these uh polling booths because we're not having another election stolen the other thing they melt down that
00:30:05.780 but you got a lot of attention on that one i'll tell you
00:30:08.660 did a lot of the the other thing that they're actually
00:30:12.420 they're more concerned about is tulsi gabbard down in georgia with dni and the fbi taking the ballots away
00:30:20.020 here's my question you're my inside baseball guy on this in either the law enforcement community and or the intelligence community
00:30:28.660 are we noticing anything that makes the candle uh worth the game here is this is this something
00:30:34.260 that you feel or you're hearing
00:30:36.260 is got some traction because the left is actually they're they're more vocal about what i'm saying
00:30:41.620 but they're more concerned about that they are
00:30:45.620 they are they are really concerned that tulsi gabbard is poking around so let's explain what i think
00:30:50.740 could happen georgia ballots already been seized i think you will see a similar type operation
00:30:56.020 soon in arizona two battleground states where there were reviews and prior concerns and now
00:31:02.020 the fbi is going to look to see whether election officials lied to conceal the the flubs and failures
00:31:07.780 and mistakes of those election uh workers separately the reason that tulsi gabbard was down in georgia is
00:31:15.620 that there is a belief that what the intelligence community has been digging up on election integrity
00:31:20.660 could be connected to what happened downstream in battleground states like georgia and arizona
00:31:26.180 that is a profound statement let me try to walk you through what we used to know and what we know now
00:31:31.540 we were told by chris ray and other officials after the 2020 election we had a perfect election
00:31:36.500 there were no major foreign intrusions or foreign attempted intrusions in the 2020 election
00:31:42.500 i pretty quickly debunked that about a year later when i reported that iran actually had hacked into
00:31:47.940 a battleground uh states uh registration system and downloaded more than 100 000 identities and was
00:31:53.860 using them eventually two guys got uh indicted in manhattan that's a really significant intrusion
00:32:00.660 that was not what chris ray told us then we learned from cash patel a couple of months ago that china
00:32:06.260 was sending driver's licenses into the united states uh in 2020 in hopes that they could be used to create
00:32:11.940 fake ballot registrations that is a second really significant intrusion uh both of those are run
00:32:19.300 contrary to what chris ray and other uh homeland security officials gave us as statements during the
00:32:24.980 time i believe that the president of the united states is soon going to be briefed by tulsi gabbard
00:32:29.940 and other intelligence officials based on my reporting about additional intrusions significant
00:32:35.940 large-scale intrusions into various forms of our election system now i'm not talking about
00:32:41.300 getting that machine and flipping the vote but maybe getting uh enough of uh state voter databases
00:32:47.380 that a foreign power could work with people on the ground in the united states to fill out fake
00:32:53.060 registrations for people who are on dirty voter rolls those um licenses that were sent into chicago
00:32:59.940 were going to be used for to make uh absentee ballot applications according to the fbi predicate
00:33:05.620 by the way chris ray's fbi didn't look at that they shut it down
00:33:08.420 uh if that if a foreign power was that far into the the election databases of state systems and they
00:33:15.300 could figure out what driver's licenses to send here the next question becomes who were they
00:33:20.580 working with on the ground who was going to file those ballot requests i think that's why tulsi gabbard
00:33:25.700 was down in georgia while you might see her in arizona while the fbi will probably be in arizona
00:33:30.420 and while the president's about to get a briefing and all of this new information
00:33:34.260 could have a profound effect on the save america act which is all right some people say it feels
00:33:38.740 like we're doing an awful lot there's not a real problem these next revelations if the president
00:33:42.740 were to declassify him after he gets debriefed on them in the next few days they could educate
00:33:48.260 senators and house members and give them a greater uh inspiration to maybe go ahead and do the voter id
00:33:54.980 and the citizenship check that is a big moment tulsi gabbard and cash patel and pam bondi are driving
00:34:01.140 this it's been below the radar but they're doing some really big stuff now the president's going
00:34:05.940 to find out what it is and then at that point the opportunity can declassify it let's see what it is
00:34:12.740 there's one other element to this if government officials lied to us after the 2020 election
00:34:18.020 there's still an opportunity in some of those cases to pursue criminal cases against them we'll see where
00:34:22.660 it all comes out but that's the that's what's going on in the background of the save america act debate
00:34:27.460 right now john uh if you're in studio right now i would hug you you just kind of hit rewind no no
00:34:35.540 hit rewind for one minute as you remember sure better than anybody we spent i think half of 2021
00:34:41.460 in the great state of arizona on this issue and i know the arizona patriots just give me a one minute
00:34:47.300 summary when you said the word arizona and we're already in georgia just give me the one minute summary
00:34:53.300 of arizona because i know there's so many war room posse members from the great state of arizona
00:34:58.660 have been waiting for something to say hey what we did didn't we were not wasting our time this is
00:35:04.500 actually being reviewed by senior authority what do you got again yeah again i don't think election
00:35:10.420 machines are flipping ballot counts and things like that i think that the actual way that the elections
00:35:16.020 were administered were in violation of state law this is very important the laws that the democratic party
00:35:21.780 created during the civil rights movement and the great voting rights act movement of the 1960s
00:35:26.500 something that all americans are proud of they still apply today and those laws say you must if
00:35:32.100 you're an election administrator conduct the election consistent with your state rules so that everybody
00:35:36.660 has equal protection in your state if georgia and arizona didn't do that if fulton county and maricopa
00:35:42.980 county did things that were in a violation of state law that created an unfair or unequal election
00:35:50.340 they can be prosecuted under the voting rights act and other civil liberty laws for that i think
00:35:55.060 that's where it's going that you can't just change your state uh procedures in violation of your law
00:35:59.940 because that's what you want to do during a pandemic that could create criminal cases against
00:36:03.940 election administrators i think that when you look at the search warrant that i got to see from
00:36:08.420 fulton county this past week those are the laws that cash patel's team cited state officials not
00:36:13.780 following their law therefore creating a fraudulent election that's where those two states are being
00:36:18.180 examined right now solomon where do people go for your show uh podcast and also your uh uh all your
00:36:25.700 writing over justin news because now you're ahead of this combination bill going to pass through the
00:36:30.820 house and then go to the senate where do folks go to keep up to date with everything yeah real simple

00:36:48.420 it's gonna be fun watch out we uh we seconded dave bratt well dave bratt was going anyway because he's
00:36:55.780 he's down at liberty he's a very religious guy as you know dave bratt you were at the prayer breakfast
00:36:59.780 give us your assessment sir yeah it was uh outstanding uh president trump did a tour de force
00:37:08.180 and you know years back there was a little uneasiness between the religious community
00:37:14.580 president trump you know what to make of each other uh and it's too hard to explain it right here but
00:37:19.140 basically you know he he has cut through it all and the room was just he he was cracking joke after joke
00:37:27.620 and the room was just in love with president trump and what he's been able to do and you know he got
00:37:33.300 serious he said you know why do you think i work so hard it's because i believe in something
00:37:37.460 that's why religion and faith is so important because you got to believe in something why do
00:37:41.780 you get up every day what do you do what you do so he got you know that's it right there
00:37:46.580 why are you on this planet and so trump you know people's you know i'm religious supposedly and he's
00:37:53.300 not i don't buy that for a second and uh he then he goes off on some evidence you know the bible sales
00:37:59.700 in 2025 were through the roof up a few hundred percent uh the 20 year olds up a couple hundred percent
00:38:06.340 going to church uh the johnson amendment he took great pride in that if he said why some of these
00:38:12.260 ministers were a little weak weak at first he said that they stood up and they uh one guy told me you
00:38:18.020 know eight ten years ago he says uh well we're just scared if we if we mention you or politics or endorse
00:38:23.060 you uh we lose our our church we lose our tax uh exemption and he so president trump said i solved
00:38:30.580 that i solved that for him and uh and he did uh and then a lot of emphasis uh in his talk on strength
00:38:37.540 he quoted the bible blessed are the peacemakers and he said you know i uh one of the key lines a
00:38:44.180 lot of the religious people like he says you know i'm not a perfect guy he says but i'm here to protect
00:38:48.660 you perfect people and boy that line really resonated and he cuts through things right which would take
00:38:55.860 hours to explain you know all the differences in the religions and whatever but he just cuts through
00:39:01.140 it on the international front uh secretary of war pete hegseth is sitting down at the end he refer
00:39:05.700 referred to him several times other secretaries went across the board with the accomplishments but
00:39:10.500 hegseth he really gave a shout out uh and uh you know the uh the uh taking it to uh the nigerian uh
00:39:18.740 radicals uh the herdsmen uh neither you know that some of it's not religious and uh they took
00:39:25.540 out the evildoers were killing uh the kids over in nigeria twice uh and then he you know referenced
00:39:32.500 other events around the world said he went through seven of his uh key uh peace initiatives and
00:39:38.020 breakthroughs he's made to give the world peace uh he said people want peace on the streets and the
00:39:42.900 cities that's what i'm doing what people say i'm mean um people say i mean that's not it's not true
00:39:48.180 he said i uh i'm trying to provide a good uh safe cities and look at washington dc look what i've
00:39:54.260 done across the board uh a little bit he went off uh some funny stuff you know i'm the most indicted
00:40:00.340 guy in the world but that's linked to this election fraud and he he went there uh he went everywhere in
00:40:06.580 the talk it was a superb talk you could see some democrats down there a little fidgety and whatever
00:40:12.260 by the end uh they were smiling laughing going i know he you know everyone wants to is the is the
00:40:19.220 he said he made a comment that i thought was very at the end his speech writer put in when he went
00:40:24.420 back to the glass or went back to the official speech and said i think blessed are the pure of
00:40:28.580 heart and he goes back he says hey i don't know if that's me i don't know how pure my heart is
00:40:34.180 and that guy left but is the religious community there are there are there are there loins
00:40:41.380 girded for the fight we have in front of us i mean these next couple weeks gonna be tough and
00:40:45.380 then all the way through the midterms it's not going to get easier you've seen the kind of marxist
00:40:49.940 atheistic jihadist red green alliance is that crowd uh i i realize they come together to pray and they
00:40:57.940 like the president coming but man you know the the the prayer at the end said buffet you for all the
00:41:04.660 storms ahead and my point is that hey the storm has arrived do the folks in that audience are doing the
00:41:11.300 praying the the pure of heart are they uh are they coming at us are they going to be brave hearts are
00:41:17.300 they going to curl up in a ball and say this is just too tough for us let me go back let me go back
00:41:21.460 to my prayer book and i'll pray for you guys yeah that's uh still a tough one honestly i'd say about
00:41:28.740 a third of that room are are some fighters in there you could tell by the reactions a third you know
00:41:34.660 we'll do it discreetly uh and then a third are just wimps and uh not ready to do what it takes
00:41:41.220 but you know he he referenced all the indictments against him i'm the most sued person okay okay but
00:41:46.980 hang on but hang on but hang on but hang on can we can we win with only a third being brave hearts
00:41:53.940 is that enough throw weight is that enough that we have look to come to the prayer breakfast you're
00:41:58.900 obviously fairly engaged in knowing this is a spiritual war and knowing it's a spiritual war
00:42:05.380 you're saying one-thirds kind of do it under you know they'll do it when it's easy to do a third is
00:42:09.780 i'm not going to do it i mean how are we going to win in a spiritual war when our spiritual warriors
00:42:15.700 are not girded for battle yeah well you you the the evangelical vote and he referenced it was 80
00:42:23.700 percent over 80 percent last time so the the voting is there but the fighting and the grassroots work
00:42:29.540 is not there uh but the war room and you know the the new promising piece he quoted you know that the
00:42:35.540 20 year olds are up you know several hundred percent church attendance faith and they're the media savvy
00:42:41.940 people there's social media getting stuff to go viral uh and so the parents are learning i think from
00:42:47.380 the kids and so but yeah i i don't want to get all rosy scenario i i don't see it there
00:42:53.220 yet coming from the religious community and it really ought to be the the war that the the some
00:42:59.700 people just don't know what's going on right but just look at minnesota if you have an election
00:43:04.740 tomorrow they'll vote for the corruption again yeah hang on full stop how can you sit there and say
00:43:09.780 people don't know what's going on they may want to avoid it they may not want to talk about you cannot
00:43:14.260 live in in america today and not see what's going on can you
00:43:18.260 well i if you pull people on the 20 billion in fraud no one would know about it if you pull people
00:43:25.220 on the illegality elections they don't know about it they they know there's corruption all over they
00:43:30.340 know things are going south uh but the the you know he was fighting the mainstream media the whole
00:43:35.220 way the whole way was fighting them and mocking them and uh that's where we are brad hang on we're
00:43:41.220 going to take a short break dave brad on the other side if you're a homeowner you need to listen to

00:45:31.060 in the american heartland you probably conjure up images of abundant fertile farms windswept plains
00:45:40.580 hearty midwestern patriots and perhaps even the university of illinois fighting illinois
00:45:49.380 but unfortunately you should also picture this
00:45:53.140 yes that's a line-eye football broadcast in mandarin chinese in the middle of america
00:46:11.380 why is it just insane for us to effectively educate our enemies that is part of the ecosystem we're
00:46:18.580 providing an ecosystem for the chinese communist party actually to stay competitive with us we're
00:46:23.700 providing them access to american equity markets mass access to american debt markets to basically
00:46:30.100 pension funds workers money in the united states whose jobs are being shipped overseas are essentially
00:46:34.340 paying for that as we're financing that also the training they're in our national labs they're in
00:46:39.060 companies here in the united states but particularly we have 350 000 or more because i'm not even sure we
00:46:44.820 know the exact number that we're taking into our best universities and training them in competition to
00:46:50.820 our own people and we need to be a patriotic nation i mean we you know i'm i'm american i i love the fact
00:46:58.340 that i'm american i'm blessed that i'm american on the one hand i'm proud to be an american but on the other
00:47:04.340 hand i am blessed to be an american and um um it it really hurts my heart uh when i see uh teaching
00:47:13.620 institutions or any institution um that uh is denigrating the american or our western culture
00:47:22.820 okay uh the big ten and and the fighting illini illinois a great university how do we get in a
00:47:29.620 situation steve of uh now because i keep saying it's the public ivs it's not the ivy league that's
00:47:36.820 the problem and they're all over the ivy league but it's the university of michigan it's university
00:47:41.140 wisconsin it's berkeley it's illinois it's university of virginia north carolina these public ivies are
00:47:47.860 where the big problem is because this is where kids particularly in state kids uh of of every
00:47:54.340 demographic every faith uh should be able to go to school if you're an american citizen your parents
00:48:00.820 have been here for a while this is the problem we're taking these we're taking these chinese
00:48:04.660 nationals and a lot of times it's not this kid's fault but they've all got to sign up to report back
00:48:10.180 to the ccp intelligence sir that's exactly right and by the way yes the pressure on those young chinese
00:48:16.100 is intense and i feel for them they're victims of the chinese communist party as well but i'm concerned
00:48:20.900 with the american victims of this entire rotten structure that last guest we showed there tony
00:48:26.580 robinson he's a fantastic example of what these universities can do and used to do he grew up on
00:48:32.420 the south side of chicago young black man with a single mom was brilliant studied hard went to
00:48:38.580 university of illinois studied chemistry and steve it changed his life he became an industrial chemist
00:48:43.860 and he is now somewhat retired into teaching chemistry he's now passing that forward to the
00:48:48.900 next generation because that's the kind of patriot and man he is he says in that full interview he says
00:48:54.340 i'm not sure i get that chance it's going to go that spot's going to go to a chinese national now
00:48:59.620 from overseas instead of an american at a flagship university and and it's happening all over the
00:49:05.700 country unfortunately one of the worst cases is university of illinois that's why i highlighted it
00:49:10.180 6 000 chinese nationals in the middle of the american heartland by the way the chinese government they're
00:49:16.420 evil but they're not dumb why do they choose u of i because it's so good at stem because people like
00:49:21.780 mark andreessen and larry ellison came out of university of illinois a lot of amazing companies and amazing
00:49:27.140 technological developments have come out of u of i we're now going to pass that knowledge on
00:49:31.860 to the chinese and by the way in some cases it's not passed the knowledge on it's had the knowledge
00:49:36.900 stolen from us you mentioned university of michigan of course we just had shocking indictments of chinese
00:49:42.740 students at the university of michigan who were literally smuggling bioweapons into the united states
00:49:48.340 in an attempt we believe to attack american agriculture to poison our food so you know in the in the most
00:49:55.060 benign case we're taking opportunity from americans and we shouldn't be doing that in the worst case
00:50:00.420 we are actually inviting spies and saboteurs into the united states we're incentivizing them to come in
00:50:07.540 and these universities are at fault the politicians are at fault and folks we're paying for it here's
00:50:12.820 the thing even if you've never been to college if you've never sent a kid to college all of us
00:50:17.460 every one of us are financing these schools and not just the state schools in many ways we actually
00:50:22.100 finance the private institutions the ivy leagues even more columbia university for example the home
00:50:27.620 of alexander hamilton half foreign gets billions of dollars in foreign aid so i'm making the case in
00:50:34.580 this documentary and steve you are a critical part of this documentary everybody needs to watch
00:50:38.980 particularly for the steve bannon segment which is so key i'm making the case that the number of chinese
00:50:44.660 nationals at american universities should be zero it should be bagel none and the number of foreign
00:50:52.420 students overall should be capped at an extremely low level i'm arguing for one percent but something
00:50:58.340 reasonable not the 25 30 40 percent that we're seeing at these selective universities again that we
00:51:05.060 subsidize no and and make those available to local kids i know how great university illinois is the great
00:51:13.780 grace chong one of the most brilliant people i've had an opportunity to work with for many
00:51:17.060 decades came out of the university illinois i think she's a kid from chicago make it available
00:51:22.100 to the kids from chicago make it available to the kids from illinois we don't need chinese communist
00:51:27.380 party here taking 6 000 billets immediately turn those all over and here's the reason they're taking
00:51:33.620 higher tuition from the ccp guys the people in state pay a lower tuition that arbitrage is what pays the
00:51:40.900 tenure uh and the retirement for these left-wing professors this is the jam we've got ourselves in
00:51:46.500 and particularly when you talk about the more technical programs both in business and in uh
00:51:51.540 agriculture and in chemistry and the sciences and particularly technology you're absolutely correct
00:51:56.740 uh before i lose you steve uh real quickly where do people go to get all the content because i got
