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 I got a free shot 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, 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, this country will be saved.
00:00:44.000 War Room.
00:00:45.000 Here's your host, Stephen K. Banff.
00:00:53.000 Okay, bombshell ruling a moment ago.
00:00:55.000 It is Friday, the 21st of February, the year of our Lord, 2026.
00:01:02.000 Bombshell ruling moments ago, 6-3.
00:01:06.000 Overruling or saying unconstitutional.
00:01:08.000 President Trump's emergency tariffs that he used IEPA to say it's a national security issue.
00:01:14.000 It is a national security issue.
00:01:16.000 This is going to have massive, massive implications.
00:01:19.000 We talk about economic warfare and we talk about the ability to kind of manage what's happening in Iran right now. 0.84
00:01:25.000 If you just leave the United States with military force, I don't know.
00:01:31.000 This is going to have massive consequences.
00:01:33.000 And now I understand that the about getting the money back or what's going to happen, they're going to push that down to federal court.
00:01:40.000 So now we're going to be tied up on that for years.
00:01:43.000 Anyway, President waiting for the White House to give some to give some guidance here.
00:01:46.000 Peter Navarro is going to join us today about the missing GDP because of the Democrats shutdown.
00:01:51.000 Democrats realize they have leverage here and they're going to use that leverage.
00:01:55.000 Do they have leverage in Georgia to make sure they get past the stealing of the 2020 election and sorting this mess out so 2026 cannot be stolen?
00:02:06.000 Harry, just give me a minute.
00:02:08.000 What you you've made the statement that this is a criminal.
00:02:11.000 This you believe this is criminal, not just some sort of incompetence, not people that should have known better, but didn't not people that were working hard and the data distance set up.
00:02:21.000 You're saying, number one, it's not as 2020 was not certifiable and you believe was not certifiable because of actual criminal activity.
00:02:29.000 Do I read that correctly?
00:02:31.000 Correct.
00:02:32.000 I mean, the problem here is that we between the missing digital signatures and and another piece where the early voting tabulator tapes are not retained.
00:02:44.000 You don't have any provenance that's required by state law on these ballots.
00:02:50.000 There's over 300,000 ballots that were counted.
00:02:54.000 And there's two aspects of this.
00:02:56.000 The first is that they were counted, even though they had tainted provenance.
00:03:03.000 If this was an election and not an election, but a criminal evidence locker, for instance, this admit this data would not be admissible in court.
00:03:13.000 I mean, the whole provenance behind it has been destroyed.
00:03:17.000 The second piece, though, that's staggering is that they know this at the time that they are submitting these counts for accumulation in the statewide voting system.
00:03:29.000 At that moment in time, they make a choice.
00:03:32.000 It's a conscious choice to put illegal ballots.
00:03:35.000 That's what they're called.
00:03:36.000 They don't have the proper legal authorization to be counted.
00:03:39.000 They make the choice to count them.
00:03:41.000 Over 315,000 ballots in Georgia should never have been counted.
00:03:47.000 And why do we know it's a choice?
00:03:49.000 Because it was still reversible.
00:03:51.000 They could have recounted all 315,000 and corrected whatever problem.
00:03:57.000 Let's say it's not malice, even though it looks like malice, frankly, from an expert perspective.
00:04:03.000 But the fact of the matter is, let's say it was just an accident.
00:04:06.000 They decide to throw these 315,000 broken ballots into the system and count them anyway.
00:04:13.000 This is a conscious choice.
00:04:15.000 OK, this is not an accident.
00:04:17.000 OK, this is so important.
00:04:19.000 And make sure you pull this clip, Grace and Mo, and push it because every time they say they go, well, there was this 300,000 thing we just found out about.
00:04:26.000 But that was just a clerical error and didn't mean anything.
00:04:29.000 This is what they're trying to do.
00:04:30.000 Harry, I want everybody to go over to your site.
00:04:33.000 What you're exposing now in Georgia and Pennsylvania is nothing short of jaw dropping.
00:04:40.000 And as I told you in your press release, I think you've buried the lead.
00:04:43.000 I would have put in the headlines.
00:04:44.000 You believe you've seen criminal intent on this.
00:04:47.000 This just couldn't be incompetence or it couldn't be laziness.
00:04:51.000 It's got to be something else.
00:04:53.000 They made a decision to keep those in the system.
00:04:56.000 They made a decision.
00:04:57.000 Yes.
00:04:58.000 A conscious decision.
00:05:00.000 Right.
00:05:01.000 Harry, where do people go?
00:05:02.000 I want everybody to go over your site.
00:05:04.000 I'm sorry.
00:05:05.000 Unite the number for freedom.com.
00:05:10.000 Donations and volunteers are needed.
00:05:13.000 By the way, we completely endorse Jason's findings.
00:05:16.000 We've done the same type of work as he probably knows fully.
00:05:20.000 But the fact of the matter is we find the same problems with voter registration roles.
00:05:25.000 But everybody gets into this noisy cloud, bad signal to noise ratio.
00:05:30.000 But these types of things with regard to clearly broken and fractured ballots are completely illegal.
00:05:37.000 You can't count things that don't comply with the law with regard to providence.
00:05:43.000 So anyway, unitedforfreedom.com, we need your help.
00:05:48.000 Thank you.
00:05:49.000 Need volunteers, need donations.
00:05:51.000 Go check it out.
00:05:52.000 Talk to Harry directly.
00:05:53.000 Thank you, sir.
00:05:54.000 Jason Frazier, they are so afraid of you.
00:05:59.000 They would risk $10,000 fine a day so as not to have you on your rightful position of Fulton County.
00:06:06.000 Are you going to back off?
00:06:07.000 And do you recommend that Sally Grubbs and the rest of the team of the Georgia Election Board back off to get to the bottom of this?
00:06:13.000 I will not back off, Steve.
00:06:15.000 And I don't believe the State Board of Elections will back off either.
00:06:18.000 I mean, we need to find out what happened in 2020.
00:06:21.000 We need to find out what happened in every election before and after that.
00:06:25.000 So that way we can one day have clean elections that everyone on both sides of the aisle can trust.
00:06:31.000 I mean, if you look back, Stacey Abrams, she wasn't happy about how her election was run. 0.88
00:06:36.000 And so this is a bipartisan issue.
00:06:38.000 Fulton County and several other counties in the state do not run clean elections, period.
00:06:43.000 So that's all the State Board wants.
00:06:46.000 That's all I want.
00:06:47.000 We want clean voter rolls.
00:06:49.000 I think I mentioned to you before that whenever I first started, I found a guy named Missing Missing.
00:06:54.000 That was his first and last name in the voter rolls.
00:06:56.000 And he voted in the 2020 runoff.
00:06:58.000 So how do you how do you have that and claim we have the cleanest voter rolls in the country?
00:07:03.000 It just boggles the mind.
00:07:05.000 And that's why people are frustrated because you find people at parking lots all over the place that are illegal.
00:07:12.000 Are you prepared?
00:07:13.000 Do you understand Sally and yourself?
00:07:16.000 They're going to bring down the weight of the entire apparatus on you.
00:07:19.000 You're what stands between them stealing the 2020 election and everything that happened since then.
00:07:25.000 And the accountability has to go and just let's move on.
00:07:29.000 And, you know, I'm a windshield guy, not a rearview mirror guy.
00:07:32.000 Right.
00:07:33.000 Do you understand how the apparatus is going to come down on you?
00:07:36.000 Yeah, that's that is not something I expected whenever I first got into this.
00:07:42.000 I had no idea how corrupt Fulton County was.
00:07:44.000 But at this point, the way I see it is I'm doing this for my kids.
00:07:48.000 I'm doing this for America.
00:07:50.000 If I don't do it, who will?
00:07:52.000 And there's not that many people that understand elections the way I do.
00:07:55.000 It is my duty as an American citizen to make this happen.
00:07:59.000 So I'm willing to do whatever it takes.
00:08:01.000 We just clean elections.
00:08:03.000 Jason, social media website.
00:08:05.000 Where do people go to track you, follow you?
00:08:07.000 Yeah, they can find me at Jason Frazier USA on X.
00:08:11.000 And that's that's my only social media.
00:08:13.000 So I just try to bring the truth and let people know what's what's really happening in Fulton County.
00:08:18.000 Thank you, sir. Appreciate you in your fight.
00:08:21.000 Thank you.
00:08:22.000 Joe Hoft.
00:08:23.000 They've tried to bankrupt your brother.
00:08:26.000 They've tried to bankrupt Gateway Pundit.
00:08:29.000 They've tried to run you down.
00:08:31.000 They've tried to destroy JoeHoff.com.
00:08:33.000 Your closing thoughts on this and observations.
00:08:36.000 Yeah, thanks, Steve.
00:08:38.000 And that's right.
00:08:39.000 And that's a fair warning to these other guys, too.
00:08:42.000 You stand up against this behemoth, this monster.
00:08:45.000 God knows who's behind it all, whether it's international or what.
00:08:49.000 And you are going to face some challenges, believe me.
00:08:52.000 But as I look at all this, Harry's information is outstanding.
00:08:56.000 Jason's doing great work, too.
00:08:58.000 But it brings me back to just days after the 2020 election.
00:09:02.000 We had a senator and a former judge release a report where he basically said that any of the anything,
00:09:09.000 any results from this election should be considered untrustworthy.
00:09:13.000 We had President Trump have his own auditor provide him an analysis of what went on.
00:09:19.000 He had tens of thousands of issues.
00:09:21.000 And Trump used that information to talk to Raffensperger.
00:09:24.000 And then Raffensperger leaked the call to the media, and they claimed that Trump was trying to steal the election by saying,
00:09:30.000 hey, we've got all this.
00:09:32.000 There's only, you know, you don't have 11,000 votes here?
00:09:35.000 You know, what's going on?
00:09:37.000 Trump's asking these guys what's going on.
00:09:39.000 Joe Rossi, a professor, I believe, and an engineer, has done great work since the election.
00:09:47.000 He looked at both the certified machine recount and the hand counts, and he says they violated Georgia law.
00:09:56.000 And here's the kicker.
00:09:58.000 The CISA, the CISA, said that basically the machines used in Georgia, this is two years after the election,
00:10:06.000 comes out with a report and says the machines are not secure.
00:10:09.000 A bad actor can hack in and a bad actor can flip an election, and they use these machines again going forward.
00:10:16.000 This is outrageous stuff.
00:10:18.000 I've told you I've shared before that I've done audits around the world.
00:10:22.000 I've done audits in communist China, fraud, multi-million dollar fraud audits in Japan and around the world.
00:10:28.000 I've never seen anything so broken.
00:10:30.000 MSNBC or MSNOW or whatever they call themselves now, they'll never have me on because they don't want me.
00:10:38.000 They don't want me as a professional, objective, independent auditor to say this is a mess.
00:10:43.000 This is what we saw across the country, and we're still gathering more and more and more information.
00:10:49.000 And yet, even the government, the CISA, said this was a mess.
00:10:53.000 This is the kind of guy Raffensperger is.
00:10:55.000 The president has this conversation with Meadows that they include other people.
00:10:58.000 And, of course, he leaks it to the media.
00:11:00.000 And President Trump is saying, hey, look, it's 10,000, 11,000 votes.
00:11:02.000 What's going on?
00:11:03.000 We now know there's hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands.
00:11:10.000 Why do you think if Raffensperger had answers, why does it take the Georgia election board in February of 2026?
00:11:17.000 Just ask yourself this.
00:11:18.000 When you've had these people that have been patient and you have the Fulton County people saying, hey, we've asked the Secretary of State.
00:11:23.000 They won't help us.
00:11:24.000 We won't get the information from them.
00:11:26.000 This is Fulton County.
00:11:27.000 That the Georgia election board has got a subpoena.
00:11:30.000 And don't think he's going to answer up that subpoena.
00:11:34.000 That whole thing is going to go to court.
00:11:35.000 You know why?
00:11:36.000 He does not want to come back and sit there and have it streamed on Real America's Voice in the war room as he's got to answer questions that there are no answers to.
00:11:47.000 And that there were hundreds of thousands.
00:11:49.000 You've got Harry Harry saying, well, hey, bro, these were acts of commission.
00:11:54.000 There's criminal intent here.
00:11:56.000 Rosenberg doesn't want to do that.
00:11:57.000 He's going to fight it tooth and nail.
00:11:58.000 Don't think he's going to just show up.
00:12:01.000 If he had the answers and they had a plausible even just incompetence, he would be there.
00:12:07.000 And yet they they want to put Trump in prison on that very phone call.
00:12:13.000 Fonnie Willis.
00:12:14.000 You saw the whole circus.
00:12:15.000 They roll up.
00:12:16.000 They try to bankrupt Rudy.
00:12:18.000 They try to bring bankrupt Jim Hoft, get shut down Gateway Pundit.
00:12:24.000 They're going to put other people in prison, but they wanted Trump in prison until he died in this whole thing.
00:12:31.000 And they don't have the common decency to step forward.
00:12:33.000 This is why, folks, this is one of the greatest examples of American patriotism.
00:12:39.000 These heroes in Georgia that had every opportunity from Caroline Jeffers to all of them.
00:12:46.000 Garland Favreau just to throw in the touts too hard.
00:12:48.000 It's costing too much money.
00:12:49.000 They're trying to bankrupt me.
00:12:51.000 You know, they're going to try to send me to prison.
00:12:54.000 They stood in the breach and we are where we are.
00:12:57.000 And, hey, standing in the breach, I got news for you.
00:13:00.000 The hard part's just about to start because they ain't sending Abby Lowell and Norm Eisen down there unless they know they have a massive problem.
00:13:09.000 And the massive problem is all of these issues we're dealing with the country today, including the invasion of 20 to 25 million illegal alien invaders. 0.79
00:13:18.000 You got the Bruce Springsteen song, the streets of Minneapolis.
00:13:21.000 All of it in the mass deportations and the fight and the deficits and the seven trillion dollars Biden spent everything to destroy this country.
00:13:29.000 The railhead of it is 2020 in the inner mechanics of it is in Fulton County, in Maricopa County and in Philadelphia and in Detroit and in Milwaukee.
00:13:41.000 And we know it and they know it and they know we know it.
00:13:45.000 So now it's a test of political wills.
00:13:47.000 There's no way to negotiate this. There's no middle ground.
00:13:51.000 We either take this all the way to its logical conclusion or we've given up the country.
00:13:56.000 Joe Hoff, where do people go, sir?
00:13:59.000 Go to joehoff.com, The Gateway Pundit, Real Joe Hoff on Twitter.
00:14:03.000 And, you know, here's the here's a final note.
00:14:05.000 Raffensperger siding with Norm Eisen now.
00:14:07.000 That should tell that should say it all.
00:14:09.000 That's it. Of course, he's siding with Norm.
00:14:11.000 Norm Eisen's his lawyer, Abby Lowell.
00:14:13.000 Thank you, Joe.
00:14:15.000 Say hi to your brother. Fantastic work.
00:14:17.000 The Hoffs.
00:14:19.000 They had to get they had to get rid of Gateway Pundit.
00:14:21.000 They got to shut that down.
00:14:22.000 That's for bankruptcy.
00:14:24.000 How many years in prison if Fannie Willis wanted Trump on all lies, all lies, all lies.
00:14:31.000 Remember that all lies, not some lies, all lies to protect themselves.
00:14:37.000 Take it out with Bruce Springsteen.
00:14:39.000 Look at that.
00:14:40.000 That's a revolution because they want to keep 25 million illegal alien invaders in this country. 1.00
00:14:47.000 Short break.
00:14:49.000 Tony Lyons, make America healthy again.
00:14:51.000 The coalition.
00:14:52.000 Where are we?
00:14:53.000 A new year means new financial goals, like making sure your savings are secure and diversified.
00:15:05.000 Will this be the year you finally listen to me and talk to someone from Birch Gold Group?
00:15:11.000 Honestly, they're great people.
00:15:13.000 I appreciate their educational approach and their understanding of macroeconomics.
00:15:17.000 There are forces pushing the dollar lower and gold higher, which is why they believe every American should own physical gold.
00:15:26.000 So until February, if you are a first time gold buyer, Birch Gold is offering a rebate of up to $10,000 on qualifying purchases.
00:15:36.000 To claim eligibility and start the process, just text Bannon at 989898.
00:15:43.000 Birch Gold can help you roll an existing IRA or 401k into an IRA in gold and you're still eligible for a rebate of up to $10,000.
00:15:54.000 Make right now your first time to buy gold and take advantage of a rebate of up to $10,000 when you buy by February 27th.

00:16:21.000 Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann.
00:16:28.000 Okay, Tony Lyons.
00:16:30.000 We're going to get to tariffs here in a moment because of bombshell today.
00:16:34.000 Make sure, I think now, maybe it's a wake up call for some in our vast audience that haven't wanted to understand capital markets and gold fiat currencies.
00:16:45.000 All of it, international economics is one of the things we try to present here every day or at least every couple of days here in the war room.
00:16:52.000 Birchgold.com, promo code Bannon, the end of the dollar empire.
00:16:56.000 Something we started five years ago.
00:16:58.000 Why?
00:16:59.000 Because we said the 2020 election is stolen and Biden's a radical and they're going to spend so much money.
00:17:04.000 But plus, we didn't even know the scale of it.
00:17:07.000 They're going to let, I don't know, 12, 13, 14, 15, 20 million, 25 million.
00:17:11.000 The numbers, the scale of it is stunning.
00:17:14.000 And of course, Ben Burquam and Oscar Blue Ramirez, we covered it better than anybody.
00:17:19.000 Todd Bensman at the time, who's in the government now over at, he's over at DHS.
00:17:23.000 He was one of our top guys, right?
00:17:25.000 We covered it from the Darien Gap all the way to the southern border and then into the country.
00:17:30.000 And we said, hey, every town's a border town and every state's a border state.
00:17:34.000 And you saw it.
00:17:36.000 Birchgold.com.
00:17:37.000 Because we saw the dollar's going to get destroyed and it dropped 25% in purchasing power during Biden.
00:17:42.000 Go learn all about this.
00:17:45.000 Learn the American system.
00:17:46.000 Because the day was a body blow.
00:17:48.000 Got to be honest.
00:17:49.000 I think over at the White House, they're regrouping.
00:17:51.000 The emergency terrorists of President Trump says, I need this because of their national security interests,
00:17:56.000 national security issue, because we've gutted our country of its manufacturing base.
00:18:01.000 It used to be a manufacturing superpower.
00:18:03.000 Birchgold.com.
00:18:05.000 And for a qualifying purchase, when you talk to Philip Patrick, and please talk to Philip Patrick and the team,
00:18:11.000 you get a free edition, the Patriots edition.
00:18:14.000 It's a hard bound of what we've been trying to teach or make available to you over the last five years.
00:18:20.000 When gold was, I don't know, $1,100 an ounce, and now it's around $5,000.
00:18:23.000 But you understand, it's not the price of gold.
00:18:25.000 It's the process.
00:18:26.000 So go check it out today.
00:18:27.000 Tony Lyons.
00:18:28.000 We've been talking.
00:18:29.000 I've tried to get you on a couple of times.
00:18:30.000 We've been jammed.
00:18:31.000 You know, you've been traveling.
00:18:32.000 You're down there with Bobby a lot.
00:18:34.000 To really get an update as we start the beginning of the second year of President Trump's second term,
00:18:40.000 we talk about the coalition, which you were so important in working with Bobby, putting together the Make America Healthy Coalition.
00:18:46.000 And then lo and behold, we kind of have a bombshell yesterday, this executive order.
00:18:51.000 Before I talk about this, about Roundup, what state, given what Bobby's trying to get done over at HHS,
00:18:58.000 what is the state prior to the Roundup issue yesterday?
00:19:01.000 Because I understand people have, some people are very upset about this.
00:19:05.000 Up until that time, the progress we're making and how are we doing on Make America Healthy against her?
00:19:12.000 I think there's just been incredible progress.
00:19:15.000 And there are going to be all kinds of people who are going to try to tear that down.
00:19:18.000 And that's, you know, big pharma, big ag.
00:19:21.000 You know, all of these companies want to make it look like this is failing,
00:19:27.000 want to make it look like Maha is destroying itself, is disagreeing with itself.
00:19:33.000 You know, but the truth is, I mean, the real truth is that the progress has been just existential.
00:19:39.000 That, you know, changing the dietary guidelines, turning them upside down so that children start to eat protein in school.
00:19:46.000 That's just a game changer.
00:19:48.000 It's a body blow to pharmaceutical companies who have been treating these kids who are eating chemicals in school,
00:19:55.000 who are eating sugar in school, eating donuts in school.
00:19:58.000 I mean, this is such a big change.
00:20:02.000 And then there are the, you know, the major food brands taking artificial dyes out.
00:20:07.000 The SNAP program getting rid of the right for people who are who get money from taxpayers to spend 25 percent of it on candy and soda.
00:20:18.000 That's just that's millions of people eating healthier food.
00:20:21.000 School lunches, you know, millions and millions of children heading towards eating healthier food,
00:20:26.000 drinking whole milk in in schools rather than, you know, drinking sodas.
00:20:31.000 You know, the vaccine schedule changing going from 17 down to 10.
00:20:35.000 You know, that is a major change.
00:20:37.000 That's the first time in a generation where that's gone down.
00:20:40.000 That is millions and millions of children getting fewer toxins in their body, fewer drugs, fewer chemicals that they don't need.
00:20:48.000 Then getting mercury out of the flu vaccine, getting rid of the, you know, Hep B vaccine at birth, getting rid of COVID vaccines for healthy children, for, you know, pregnant women.
00:21:00.000 And then the incredible Super Bowl ad that we just ran that was viewed 150 million times telling people that, you know,
00:21:08.000 hundreds of thousands of people are dying in this country because they're eating ultra processed food and not real food.
00:21:15.000 And Mike Tyson saying that and that getting through so much that 60 minutes had to rush out and get people on there to try to co-opt that.
00:21:25.000 I want to go back for something.
00:21:27.000 If you look at your verticals.
00:21:29.000 Sure.
00:21:30.000 Nobody, maybe only the defense industry, but there it's a different relationship.
00:21:35.000 Bobby Kennedy and what Bobby Kennedy said, because I am all struck by what Bobby Kennedy has done in his first year as HHS.
00:21:44.000 All it's just, it's unbelievable.
00:21:46.000 And here's why.
00:21:47.000 And president Trump has had his back every step of the way.
00:21:50.000 But if you look at big pharma and the big pharma and the big, the big distribution companies, McKesson and the drugstores.
00:21:58.000 If you look at the food processors, what they're doing with food processing.
00:22:02.000 Right.
00:22:03.000 And if you look at what he's doing with, with like the agricultural component of this.
00:22:08.000 So you got the food processors, you got big pharma, big ag and the big food process folks.
00:22:14.000 There ain't more money in DC.
00:22:16.000 The big tech bros, I think maybe, but you got this.
00:22:20.000 These are immovable objects.
00:22:22.000 Why are they immovable objects?
00:22:24.000 Cause they're embedded in deep into the swamp in, in DC that they have lobbyists, lawyers, spots.
00:22:33.000 They spread money into every congressional district.
00:22:35.000 You're just not walking in there.
00:22:36.000 So every dragon he's slain is a massive dragon with a huge tail and 50 other dragons to back them up.
00:22:45.000 That's why I'm awestruck of the, of the momentum we've made.
00:22:49.000 And every, of these three big verticals and Ken, Bobby, Kenny ain't afraid of any of them.
00:22:54.000 Like I said, the other day, having taken on big ag and taken on big pharma,
00:22:59.000 he then goes after the big food companies with the ultra processed food,
00:23:03.000 which is the ultra process it.
00:23:05.000 Cause the margins of the margins are so high on candy and sodas.
00:23:10.000 They're not high on if you get great farm to table and you get the real food,
00:23:16.000 the margins are relatively thin.
00:23:17.000 The margins are huge when they process and he's going right for it.
00:23:20.000 So what stunned me Tony is he ain't backing off.
00:23:23.000 He's going after the biggest of the big, the toughest, the most entrenched,
00:23:27.000 and he's not backing off an inch and president Trump's got his back.
00:23:30.000 In fact, on vaccines, I think president Trump's actually out ahead of you guys.
00:23:35.000 A hundred percent.
00:23:37.000 I mean, president Trump is the most in line president with Maha principles 1.00
00:23:42.000 of, of, of any president in the last generation.
00:23:45.000 There's, there's no question about that.
00:23:47.000 And, and the, you know, you know, the things that, that activists disagree with.
00:23:51.000 And let me just say, you know, I am a hundred percent behind Maha moms. 1.00
00:23:56.000 I want people to come out and yell and, and post on every social media platform.
00:24:02.000 That's something that we couldn't do under president Biden.
00:24:05.000 That was stifled. There was no dissent in this country,
00:24:08.000 but now you can say whatever you want.
00:24:10.000 And we need that disagreement. We need that dialogue.
00:24:13.000 We need people to go out and tell the American public.
00:24:16.000 And part of the success of the Maha green, you know, the Maha movement is all the disagreement
00:24:22.000 that we have is that everybody in America knows what ultra processed foods are.
00:24:27.000 Everybody in America knows now that there was mercury in the flu vaccine.
00:24:31.000 Everybody knows, you know, that, that seed oils are, are, are bad for you.
00:24:36.000 That beef tallow is better than cooking with, with other oils.
00:24:41.000 You know, there's been just incredible progress and it's been cultural progress, but, but we need all this disagreement.
00:24:47.000 We need a vibrant argument to be made every day on social media between everybody.
00:24:53.000 So there's no problem there. That's, that's success. That's not failure.
00:24:57.000 By the way, you, you don't come, I mean, politically, you weren't one of us or close to being one of us.
00:25:02.000 When president Trump came, you were somebody who always believed in free speech in the first amendment.
00:25:06.000 And you saw the left was conforming to the system. And on the right, you saw Trump as a disruptor and like war room.
00:25:13.000 And these other people, the, the, the, the, the beginning of the mob, the dissonant moms were part of that, who many of those people were either moderates or some of them were Democrats when this started.
00:25:24.000 And they said, no, these guys are taking on the system. They're trying to disrupt the system. I want to be part of that.
00:25:30.000 And that's where you, and that's where we see it today. Is it not Tony?
00:25:33.000 Well, you know, president Trump is more of an old time Democrat than any Democrat.
00:25:39.000 Now, you know, he's, he's pro free speech. He's anti censorship.
00:25:44.000 You know, he's anti war. I mean, he is out there doing all the things that Democrats would have been for in the past.
00:25:52.000 You know, he's an outsider challenging the status quo, challenging all of these big companies, but not doing it in some obvious way that he knows that he has to have.
00:26:02.000 He has to have practical common sense ways to solve problems. And if you can't do that, then you're just yelling and screaming.
00:26:08.000 You have to be able to solve problems. You have to realize this is politics. It's complicated. We're heading in the right direction.
00:26:15.000 There's, you know, incredible progress being made. There's a lot that's, that's going to be made. We're just getting started. It's only one year.
00:26:23.000 So, you know, these are, these are wins. All of these are wins, even the disagreements, even the people yelling and screaming at each other.
00:26:30.000 That's democracy in action. That's freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of ideas. That's what we've all wanted. And that's what we're getting now.
00:26:38.000 Okay. I want to hold you through the break. We've got about a minute. I just want to tee up Roundup because I think this caught people by surprise.
00:26:45.000 One of the big efforts was about, you know, agriculture is the most important thing when we talk about health.
00:26:51.000 A lot of the Maha moms are the anti-food processing, all of it. And then you had this executive order on, on Roundup. 1.00
00:26:58.000 Can you put, give me a minute, put it in perspective. I'm going to hold you through the break and we'll continue the conversation.
00:27:03.000 Sure. So no question. Glyphosate is bad. We all know that every side, Democrats, Republicans, farmers, politicians, President Trump, Secretary Kennedy.
00:27:14.000 I mean, Secretary Kennedy sued Monsanto, won one of the biggest judgments in history for that.
00:27:21.000 So, you know, but despite all these lawsuits and despite the widespread recognition that glyphosate is bad, we have a problem, which is that we need to solve this, this practical situation where 80% of farmers rely on glyphosate now.
00:27:39.000 So banning it outright doesn't work. So we need to look at new technologies. We need to fast track regulatory pathways. Look at, you know, next generation biopesticides at, you know, Bobby Kennedy talks all about lasers.
00:27:54.000 Maybe that's an answer. We need to have tax incentive. We need to innovate. That's how we're going to have progress.
00:28:00.000 Okay. I want to hold you and just drill down on this a little bit more because some people are shocked about it given the original stance of make America healthy.
00:28:08.000 Again, Tony Lyons is with us. We're going to get back to tariffs here in a moment.
00:28:13.000 Horrific, horrific, historic day in the United States of America from the Supreme Court of the United States.
00:28:19.000 The world is getting more unstable and chaotic every day. It seems like everyone everywhere you look, there's another crisis, another controversy, another conflict or just outright catastrophe.

00:29:55.000 I think now more than ever for your own personal financial security and also your community, your family.

00:30:14.000 You now have a hard copy of this, the first seven installments that we've put together over the last couple of years.
00:30:20.000 We've been talking about this with Birch Gold since gold was about $1,100.
00:30:24.000 It's now around $5,000.
00:30:25.000 But it's not the price.
00:30:27.000 It's the process.
00:30:28.000 It's the pattern recognition to understand why gold is a hedge in times of financial turbulence.
00:30:34.000 When the Supreme Court tries to chop block President Trump, Bob did give him a path.
00:30:38.000 I'm going to read from E.J. and Tony here in a moment and bring in John Gardner.
00:30:41.000 I think now more than ever, particularly with geopolitical risk.

00:31:10.000 Let me read, oh gosh, let me, where's E.J.?
00:31:13.000 I had it right here.
00:31:14.000 E.J.
00:31:15.000 Antonio.
00:31:16.000 Okay, E.J.
00:31:17.000 Antonio.
00:31:18.000 I'm going to get Gardner up here in a second.
00:31:19.000 E.J. text me.
00:31:20.000 He's on Wall Street heading back to D.C.
00:31:23.000 President Trump has a half a dozen other tariff authorities he can use.
00:31:26.000 They require more procedure than IEPA.
00:31:29.000 And so there are more hoops to jump through, boxes to check.
00:31:32.000 But that's only, there's no real substantive change.
00:31:35.000 Few scholars are talking about Section 338, which is one of my favorite,
00:31:39.000 of the Tariff Act of 1930, which gives the president wide sweeping authority to impose
00:31:44.000 tariffs of up to 50% and also outright bans of certain imports entirely.
00:31:49.000 It is virtually a blank check for the executive.
00:31:52.000 The academics who came on TV, who immediately weighed in saying tariffs were over and done,
00:31:58.000 and they are dead wrong.
00:32:00.000 Let me repeat that.
00:32:01.000 The academics that jumped on TV today, who immediately weighed in saying tariffs were over and done,
00:32:07.000 are dead wrong.
00:32:08.000 All this really affects is the speed and flexibility of the president's ability to negotiate.
00:32:13.000 Those aspects have been diminished slightly on the margin, but that's it.
00:32:18.000 I tell you, Peter Navarro is going to come to the show today, but they're already working on 301s and 232s,
00:32:24.000 which we use substantially in the first administration.
00:32:28.000 John Gardner, you kind of represent the small manufacturer.
00:32:31.000 Remember, 12.8 million people in this country have jobs in manufacturing.
00:32:36.000 90% of those jobs are in manufacturing companies employing less than 50 people.
00:32:42.000 And that's who John Gardner speaks for.
00:32:44.000 What do you got for us, John?
00:32:46.000 The American people voted for the tariff man in November 2024.
00:32:51.000 We did not vote for income tax in 1930.
00:32:54.000 We did not vote for the Federal Reserve to print a bunch of money in bailout banks.
00:32:58.000 We did not vote to come off the gold standard.
00:33:00.000 We did not vote to have our industries hollowed out.
00:33:02.000 We voted for the tariff man to protect us.
00:33:05.000 And, you know, the next step here is the president has a lot of tools,
00:33:10.000 but we need to codify these tariffs in Congress so that Trump's legacy lives on after his administration
00:33:17.000 and it isn't whittled down by the globalists again.
00:33:20.000 And I think that, you know, the revenue aspect is different than the protection aspect.
00:33:24.000 I encourage President Trump to get on the campaign trail, to focus on the midterms and say,
00:33:30.000 hey, with $600 to $700 billion, I can replace income tax for 90% of American taxpayers.
00:33:38.000 The total gross of income tax right now is $2.2 trillion.
00:33:41.000 But 90% of Americans, the working class, the middle class, they pay $600 to $700 billion.
00:33:47.000 If you vote for my people in the midterms, I will commit to replacing income tax for 90% of Americans
00:33:54.000 with $600 to $700 billion in tariff revenue.
00:33:56.000 And let's codify this in Congress.
00:33:58.000 And I think, you know, I hear Rand Paul saying, referring to tariffs as taxes.
00:34:04.000 I say, you know, whatever your pronouns are on tariffs, fine, but what gives the American citizen more freedom?
00:34:11.000 Funding the government with income tax or funding the government with tariffs,
00:34:17.000 which I refer to as a toll to enter our market and be allowed to sell your product here.
00:34:22.000 So I think there's a lot of exciting action going to be coming up here on tariffs.
00:34:26.000 And I think I loved how President Trump came out hitting stronger, punching everybody back in the nose on this thing.
00:34:32.000 It really lifted my spirits.
00:34:34.000 Well, he believes in Hamilton's the American system.
00:34:37.000 Take a minute like you did yesterday.
00:34:39.000 A lot of people haven't heard this.
00:34:40.000 I know we've worked together for a long time, but talk to people what Hamilton.
00:34:44.000 In fact, Scott Besson, that's why I was so proud of Real America's Voice covering the entire Besson speech.
00:34:49.000 Besson and Dallas went back and talked about Hamilton, the first secretary of the treasury, the American plan,
00:34:54.000 and how this has really been core to the country from the beginning.
00:34:59.000 Give me a minute on it, John.
00:35:01.000 This is how our nation was designed to function.
00:35:04.000 This is how the founding fathers, they intended the nation to pay its bills.
00:35:08.000 And they say in the first legislative act, the Tariff Act of 1789, they say to pay the bills of the federal government and to protect its manufacturers.
00:35:18.000 It's the first line of the first bill the founding fathers passed.
00:35:21.000 And Alexander Hamilton knew that when you protect industry, industry will grow.
00:35:26.000 And then Henry Clay came in with the American system after.
00:35:31.000 He froze.
00:35:33.000 He froze.
00:35:34.000 OK, let's see if we can get him in unfreezing.
00:35:37.000 While John said that, I just want to make sure we had the day with with Cameron Kinsey.
00:35:43.000 President Trump's overall objective is to kind of reverse what they did with income tax back, you know, what at the turn of the 20th century.
00:35:52.000 However, a lot of people are going around and say president trust my president said I don't have to pay income.
00:35:57.000 No, that's not true.
00:35:58.000 He's trying to build up a system that shows over time that tariff revenues can replace the two point five trillion of the five and a half trillion that we take in.
00:36:08.000 Two point five trillion comes from comes from the little guy comes from me, the working class and middle class tax network USA.
00:36:14.000 They've got a new number because this they do a free assessment for you.
00:36:19.000 If you call them, if you go to TN, TN USA dot com, say that you're part of the war and posse, you get a free discovery call.
00:36:28.000 This is amazing.
00:36:29.000 Save you hundreds of not thousands of dollars or.
00:36:32.000 And since there was such an overwhelming folks coming to this, they set up a new number to make it easier.
00:36:39.000 Eight, six, six, five, one, three, five, five, one, six.
00:36:43.000 You get a free discovery call.
00:36:45.000 They will sit there and go through all your issues.
00:36:47.000 And some people are saying, hey, President Trump's president.
00:36:49.000 I need to pay it.
00:36:50.000 Oh, contrary.
00:36:51.000 Our own Scott Besson now kind of oversees the IRS and President Trump's given a mandate.
00:36:56.000 Any anything that's owed has got to be collected.
00:36:58.000 They need the cash.
00:36:59.000 Now, that's where it comes in.
00:37:00.000 The bid in the ask what the IRS thinks you owe and what you think you owe.
00:37:04.000 And that's what the free discovery calls all about.
00:37:06.000 So go check it today.
00:37:07.000 Do we have John Gardner back up?
00:37:08.000 John Gardner back up.
00:37:09.000 John, the Alexander Hamilton in the American plan.
00:37:13.000 President Trump, if anything is economically is burned into the marrow of his soul.
00:37:19.000 It is tariffs and protectionism protecting American industries using as a forcing function to drive investment in high value added manufacturing back here and the revenues to make sure that people in the rest of the world are paying for what's going on here.
00:37:35.000 Why is that called the American plan, sir?
00:37:37.000 Oh, that's because that's how the founding fathers intended our nation to run.
00:37:41.000 They didn't intend for the nation to be funded by income tax and making the citizen an indentured servant to the government.
00:37:46.000 They didn't intend for American industry to make their defense parts overseas and communist China our potential adversary.
00:37:52.000 They did not intend for us to have our lose our human capital people who know how to manufacture stuff to overseas nations.
00:38:01.000 That's not how what they intended.
00:38:03.000 Alexander Hamilton and, you know, going on to Henry Clay and Abraham Lincoln saw the power of tariffs.
00:38:09.000 And we really built the nation up behind a tariff wall of 40 to 50 percent.
00:38:15.000 President Trump's been pretty light on people, to be quite honest with you.
00:38:18.000 In 1824 and 1934, the average tariff rate was 40 to 50 percent.
00:38:23.000 And that's how we funded our country.
00:38:25.000 And that's how we had these reserves of wealth that President Trump refers to where we didn't even know how to spend the money.
00:38:30.000 It's how we during the during the Industrial Revolution competing with the British, it's how we built a manufacturing superpower was because of that.
00:38:38.000 Very straightforward.
00:38:39.000 And Henry Clay, that's who really Lincoln looked up to.
00:38:42.000 And Lincoln was, you know, it was a wig at the time before they, you know, they set up the Republican Party.
00:38:47.000 But they were all for high terrorist protectionism and internal developments.
00:38:51.000 John, we got a bolt.
00:38:52.000 Where did they go?
00:38:53.000 Thanks.
00:38:54.000 Get your writings now that you're in the middle of this terror fight.
00:38:57.000 It's not going to stop.
00:38:59.000 The rhino, the neoliberal neocon rhinos, the far left who should be with us arguing this.
00:39:05.000 This shows you how screwed up these Marxists are.
00:39:07.000 Right.
00:39:08.000 They cannot.
00:39:09.000 The Marxist jihadists hate this country so much.
00:39:12.000 They will not consider looking out for the working men and women in the middle class in this country.
00:39:16.000 John Gardner.
00:39:17.000 Where do people go to get you?
00:39:19.000 John Gardner author dot com or John Gardner VOH at X getter and Instagram.
00:39:24.000 And just grateful President Trump's protecting the middle class. 0.87
00:39:28.000 And that's who the Marcus Marxists are targeting the middle class. 0.95
00:39:32.000 Thank you, sir.
00:39:33.000 Appreciate you.
00:39:34.000 I know that the the Peter Navarro's and all the team over there are working nonstop over the weekend.
00:39:41.000 Get these things stood up.
00:39:42.000 The three ones.
00:39:43.000 The two thirty twos.
00:39:45.000 And already President Trump said, hey, the one twenty two.
00:39:48.000 The two ten percent on it.
00:39:50.000 Let's go.
00:39:51.000 We got a very fascinating discussion on the curvy couch at Fox and Friends with Miss Duffy.
00:39:58.000 Let's go ahead and hear it.
00:40:00.000 So the president made a case for Operation Midnight Hammer saying we're going to do this operation and then we're not going to have to do anything else.
00:40:09.000 Remember, there was a lot of bragging about that.
00:40:11.000 And I think most people, even those who were skeptical about operation going in and doing that at the end were like, OK, I can deal with this because I don't want a greater war.
00:40:21.000 I think that the president needs to make a better case as to why this is in American interest to potentially go into a kinetic war.
00:40:31.000 I don't think the case has been made sufficiently for me.
00:40:35.000 If you read The New York Times, there's a lot of people who who also feel that way.
00:40:40.000 If you're going to get us potentially into a war, you have to explain why it matters to us, not to other countries, but to us.
00:40:50.000 And so, by the way, you have Fetterman, a Democrat, a rare Democrat who agrees with the president.
00:40:57.000 Here's what he said last night on Jesse.
00:41:00.000 Clearly, I was the only Democrat last year, you know, like, why?
00:41:05.000 How could you allow Iran to acquire a nuclear bomb?
00:41:09.000 Now, people have always said that.
00:41:11.000 Well, you know, he actually did something to actually prevent Iran from doing that.
00:41:16.000 If they have 900 pounds of of of near weapons grade uranium, why wouldn't you strike that?
00:41:23.000 Why wouldn't you hold them accountable that way?
00:41:25.000 And now here we are again.
00:41:27.000 And now we've demonstrate that's the only thing Iran ever responds to is strength and power and hit them. 0.89
00:41:35.000 If they want to hit them again, because I don't think you can't really trust and negotiate with them.
00:41:40.000 You can't negotiate with cancer.
00:41:42.000 You have to attack it and go right at it with superior force.
00:41:47.000 I just want to mention, you know, I do feel sorry for the protesters.
00:41:53.000 Again, it's not clear to me that doing this move that potentially going to war is necessarily going to help the protesters.
00:42:00.000 I'd like to think that was true.
00:42:02.000 Explain to me why.
00:42:03.000 Explain to me why I should risk my military age boys potentially going into another war in the Middle East.
00:42:11.000 I thought we were done with that.
00:42:12.000 There's seven presidents have had to deal with this.
00:42:14.000 They've never been more vulnerable from taking our hostages to the Iran Contra scandal to the JCPOA.
00:42:21.000 You have the president of Joe Biden actually releasing some of the sanctions, allowing that evil regime to sustain itself.
00:42:28.000 They've put a hit on our president multiple times.
00:42:31.000 They said they're trying to kill Brian Hook.
00:42:33.000 They're trying to kill John Bolton.
00:42:35.000 They're trying to kill Mike Pompeo.
00:42:36.000 And again, he threatened assassination.
00:42:38.000 And the Ayatollah says we're going to be sinking your ships and we're not interested in getting rid of a nuclear program.
00:42:45.000 So if there's one menace in the Middle East that has been affecting America since 1979, it's been that country. 1.00
00:42:52.000 Well, Kilmeade, I happen to be there in 79 and 80.
00:42:56.000 I couldn't disagree with you more.
00:42:58.000 I think Rachel Duffy, who is about as big a supporter of President Trump you get and tremendous common sense.
00:43:05.000 When she's sitting there just making says, hey, this thing is that it hasn't been sold.
00:43:09.000 It hasn't been explained.
00:43:10.000 And once you get with Kilmeade, you get the same old kind of, you know, oh, they're trying to go for Mike Pompeo, all this.
00:43:18.000 This is an incredibly, incredibly serious decision.
00:43:23.000 I know the president's weighing all options.
00:43:25.000 There's one that's kind of leaked out an incremental plan.
00:43:28.000 Trista Parsi is going to join us.
00:43:31.000 Break it down.
00:43:32.000 Well, he thinks that doesn't work.
00:43:33.000 Short commercial break.
00:43:34.000 We'll be back in the warm in a moment.
00:43:37.000 Singing through the bloody mist.

00:44:57.000 Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann.
00:45:00.000 Okay, Trita Parsi joins us from Responsible Statecraft. 0.83
00:45:04.000 If we had Foundational for Democracies on one side, we'd probably have Trita on the other, even farther over than Kurt Mills. 0.86
00:45:11.000 Look, having been there and, you know, been around the region, I am all for the Persian people and taking their hands and take down the Ayatollah and the Mullahs. 0.95
00:45:21.000 Go for it.
00:45:22.000 You put them in power 47 years ago.
00:45:24.000 You get full right to take them out of power.
00:45:26.000 Scott Besson, the president, I'm all for the economic warfare, taking down the currency.
00:45:31.000 I'm a big advocate we should have done a long time ago on the oil going out of the Straits of Hormuz to the Chinese Communist Party.
00:45:41.000 But I'm still pretty opposed to I just don't see the benefit of regime change bombing.
00:45:45.000 I just think it's going to get us into a mess that we don't need to be in.
00:45:48.000 But Rachel Duffy, Trita, when she said that today, I think in perfect common sense and from her heart.
00:45:55.000 Tell me how Twitter, how Twitter, how's Twitter reacted to Rachel Duffy today?
00:46:01.000 I mean, they've gone after her hard simply for asking questions.
00:46:05.000 I mean, she wasn't even making a strong case.
00:46:07.000 She was just asking the question of explain this better to me because it does not make sense.
00:46:13.000 This was supposed to be done with.
00:46:14.000 You know, Trump himself said that this was a one and done and that this is over with.
00:46:19.000 Then Netanyahu comes again on December 29th and talks to Trump and convinces him or pushes him to go in this direction.
00:46:27.000 And now we are here again. The biggest mobilization of troops since the invasion of Iraq were on the brink of war that no one has been able to explain.
00:46:37.000 How does this actually serve U.S. interests?
00:46:39.000 And by the way, Rachel is absolutely right, because the latest polls show only 18 percent of the American public supports war with Iran.
00:46:48.000 Amongst Republicans, it's 35 percent, but 53 percent oppose it.
00:46:52.000 And I'm pretty sure that those 35 percent are probably the Fox News watchers.
00:46:56.000 But we're talking about a situation in which only 18 percent of the population as a whole support this.
00:47:02.000 In comparison, when Bush went into Iraq in 2003, which was a huge mistake, he had 79 percent of the population behind him.
00:47:09.000 And it still ended up destroying his presidency.
00:47:12.000 This is this is the thing about the process. Matt Boyle's on here last week with a poll that they had not commissioned, but were using.
00:47:18.000 I think they had 60 percent of Republicans were enthusiastic or supported it.
00:47:23.000 But they asked the following question, what happens after the first casualty?
00:47:26.000 I think it went down to 16 percent when people realize that this is going to be an effort because it's a country of 90 million people.
00:47:33.000 It's massive. It's very difficult to get to. But I want to go.
00:47:36.000 I got a couple of minutes. I want to go to something that I want to make sure that people understand.
00:47:40.000 There's been leaked or romped the flagpole that President Trump potentially in a range of alternatives because he's still negotiating.
00:47:47.000 But he's got an alternative that they could be incremental hits.
00:47:51.000 He would do a hit and see how that played out and then do another hit and see if that could nudge the Ayatollah and Moolahs to come along in his negotiation. 0.96
00:48:00.000 And I was quite impressed with your counter to that. I just want to make sure the American people in the Warren Posse have the information.
00:48:07.000 Walk me through what President Trump is allegedly thinking about.
00:48:10.000 And what is your response that how you think the regime is going to react?
00:48:16.000 So what has been leaked by the Wall Street Journal is that Trump's plan is that he's going to do a limited strike and then see if the Iranians will essentially cave at the negotiating table.
00:48:26.000 And if they do not, then he'll do more and he'll do more and he'll do more.
00:48:30.000 And it can go on for weeks and months until they either cave at the negotiating table or you have that type of regime change.
00:48:36.000 Now, here's why I think that is not likely to work out the way whoever in the White House has been putting this plan together.
00:48:44.000 First of all, at the negotiating table right now, at least what I've heard and what has come out, there really isn't much of an attractive offer.
00:48:51.000 Essentially saying, give up your entire nuclear program. The only thing we're promising you is that we won't bomb you and that we won't add any new sanctions.
00:48:59.000 But all of the existing sanctions are going to remain in place.
00:49:02.000 Now, the existing sanctions are so suffocating for the Iranians that they're not going to give up their nuclear leverage, the thing that gets Trump to come back to them all the time, only to make sure that they don't get any new ones.
00:49:14.000 Because if they only have the current ones in place, you're going to see a slow decay of that economy in a way that is intolerable for them.
00:49:21.000 So they're not going to give that up. And also, they think that once they agree to that, Netanyahu is going to come back to the White House and he's going to say, well, what about the missiles?
00:49:30.000 And then there's going to be another threat of war saying, well, now you have to give up the missiles.
00:49:33.000 And by the time they give up all of those things, their belief, and I think they're right in this, once Iran has no deterrence against Israel, that's when Israel actually starts the war. 0.84
00:49:43.000 When Iran is completely defenseless, that's when the Israelis actually will go in and bomb even further. 0.99
00:49:48.000 So the whole path of giving in on these things are so unattractive in their view because it leads to the worst case scenario.
00:49:55.000 And as a result, if Trump chooses to do this limited strike, and he would do limited precisely because he doesn't want to have a large war.
00:50:02.000 But the calculation on the Iranian side is that a limited strike nevertheless brings about a larger defeat for them.
00:50:10.000 So their only chance is actually to strike back, however bad that chance is.
00:50:16.000 And clearly it's not good for them because they're nothing compared to the United States militarily in the larger picture.
00:50:21.000 But there's one thing they can do.
00:50:25.000 They can try to destroy Trump's presidency before they lose the war.
00:50:30.000 They close the Strait of Hormuz.
00:50:32.000 They go after oil installations in the region.
00:50:35.000 They shoot up oil prices.
00:50:37.000 They shoot up inflation in the United States.
00:50:40.000 All things that will have a profound impact on the midterms.
00:50:43.000 Could you hang on for a second?
00:50:45.000 We're going to actually go to Australia live for the next hour.
00:50:47.000 I want you to stick around.
00:50:48.000 I want to finish this conversation on the other side in the 6 o'clock show.
00:50:52.000 Just stick right there.

00:53:13.000 Here's why now is the time to make a move.
00:53:16.000 This time of year, credit card and loan companies close out their books.
00:53:20.000 They clean up past due accounts.
00:53:23.000 They sell a right off the debt to clear their books.
00:53:26.000 That 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.
00:53:35.000 That means right now, and I mean right now, you may actually have leverage.
00:53:40.000 And Done With Debt knows how to use this to your advantage.
00:53:44.000 They monitor lender trends and understand the year-end pressure on creditors.
00:53:49.000 They use that timing to negotiate hard on your behalf.
00:53:53.000 Now's the time to get out from under crushing debt and interest payments without bankruptcy or taking on new loans.
00:54:01.000 Done With Debt goes to work for you month one with one clear goal to reduce your total debt and leave you with more money every month.
00:54:11.000 Get started now, because your leverage may disappear at the end of the year.
