00:00:01.000 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:00:06.000 Pray for our enemies,
00:00:08.000 because we're going medieval on these people.
00:00:11.000 I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
00:00:16.000 The people have had a belly full of it.
00:00:18.000 I know you don't like hearing that.
00:00:19.000 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that,
00:00:21.000 but you're not going to stop it.
00:00:22.000 It's going to happen.
00:00:23.000 And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
00:00:26.000 MAGA Media.
00:00:28.000 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:00:33.000 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:00:37.000 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:00:43.000 War Room.
00:00:44.000 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:00:50.000 Okay, it's Tuesday, 3 March, Everlord, 2026.
00:00:53.000 It is game day here in Texas.
00:00:55.000 We're going to go wall-to-wall coverage on that.
00:00:57.000 Also on Capitol Hill, Chrissy Noem is getting grilled over.
00:01:01.000 And also Bridge Colby.
00:01:02.000 Now remember, Bridge is kind of the chief thinker and strategist over there.
00:01:08.000 Very, very important.
00:01:09.000 One of Hex's top guys.
00:01:11.000 He's, and we got Neil McCabe at the hearing, but Dr. Thayer is also monitoring online.
00:01:16.000 Pretty important, particularly given the conversation we just had the first hour.
00:01:20.000 Bridge as, and we'll get some clips on this, definitely looks like distancing from regime change and focus very much on the Iranian Navy and missile capacity.
00:01:31.000 And we know they've pounded the Iranian Navy. 0.83
00:01:33.000 I think President Trump said last night, 11 capital ships of the Iranian Navy are now sunk.
00:01:39.000 And I think all of those have been sunk in the Persian Gulf.
00:01:41.000 They even get to open sea on the North Arabian Sea.
00:01:44.000 So we'll get more of that.
00:01:45.000 But Bridge Colby is making the case and he's getting grilled too, although it's, it hasn't been confrontational at all.
00:01:53.000 Chrissy Noem, a little bit different because they're coming after Chrissy.
00:01:56.000 I want to get Chris Kobach up and then Terry Schilling, a huge federal, a huge decision on this transgender issue yesterday in California.
00:02:08.000 Chris Kobach, attorney general at the state of Kansas.
00:02:11.000 Sir, and you've just done a magnificent job.
00:02:13.000 And of course, people know you as one of the top, you and Paxton are probably the two top MAGA Republican AGs.
00:02:21.000 And of course, today we're here following Ken Paxton's, he's trying to fleet up to the Senate.
00:02:27.000 Talk to me about this driver's license situation, because this is, this is one that has sent the Rachel Maddow crowd and MSNBC. 0.99
00:02:36.000 If they didn't have the war to focus on, trust me, they would be outside your door. 0.55
00:02:41.000 I don't think anything has triggered these people as much as what you've done in the state of Kansas.
00:02:46.000 Can you explain to us what went on, Chris?
00:02:48.000 Yeah, I, it's a, it's a long saga, but I'll give you the Reader's Digest version.
00:02:53.000 In 2023, the Kansas legislature passed a bill saying you can't change your sex other than to something other than your biological sex on your driver's license or your birth certificate.
00:03:04.000 There was litigation over that where the, we have a Democrat governor in Kansas and she directed her administration not to interpret the law the way it was obviously written. 0.97
00:03:13.000 And so I had to sue the governor and we prevailed the district court, but then a very liberal court of appeals panel went the wrong way and said, oh, maybe the statute isn't as clear.
00:03:23.000 And so then the Kansas legislature, this just this past session within the last few months amended the bill to make it crystal clear so that no judge could possibly mistake that this is intended to stop individuals from changing their sex on their driver's license to something other than biological sex.
00:03:41.000 So now there's no room, no wiggle room for a judge or an attorney to read the wrong way.
00:03:46.000 But where it got even more interesting is while the legislature was deliberating on this just in past January, a newly appointed Democrat legislator, who is himself a biological male transition to female, but still very much looks like a biological man, started using the women's restrooms in the Kansas Capitol building, causing great distress to a very large number of female legislators.
00:04:14.000 And as a result, they, in addition to clarifying the driver's license bill, they said, well, this would be a good time to also bring in legislation that we were considering on bathrooms in public buildings, saying that those two must conform to your biological sex, your use of the bathroom.
00:04:29.360 So the two things got passed. The governor, again, tried to veto them. Legislature, we have more than a supermajority Republican in Kansas. Legislature overrode the governor's veto.
00:04:40.040 And just Friday, a few days ago, the ACLU is suing, claiming that there is an invisible constitutional right to force the government to change your sex on your government document, and that you have an equally important invisible right to use the bathroom you choose in government buildings.
00:05:00.140 So that is the case we are. We are going to be arguing, and I'll be arguing it this week and Friday in a TRO hearing.
00:05:05.480 Why do you think, why is it, Schilling's going to be here in a minute, who's led this effort throughout the country, and he's going to talk about California.
00:05:14.220 Why is it certain elements of the, it looks like all of it now, because President Trump called it out the other night in the State of the Union where they wouldn't stand.
00:05:21.620 What's the obsession here, sir, that they go through all these perturbations on every different aspect to try to get this in?
00:05:29.260 It seems like to folks in the country, basically, you know, the 85% that don't agree with this, to be an obsession.
00:05:36.340 You know, I think, just from my observation as an attorney who has litigated some of these cases over the past few years, I think there's a real strong desire on the part of the trans movement to force the government and force the rest of society to embrace their claim that they have changed their sex. 0.95
00:05:57.520 It's not enough that they can go about life presenting themselves as someone of the opposite sex. 0.99
00:06:03.220 They want to force the rest of us, and they want to force the government itself to state their claim that they have, you know, somehow changed their sex, despite the fact that their DNA remains the same. 0.81
00:06:15.160 And, you know, I don't pretend to be a psychologist, but that seems to be the driving force here.
00:06:22.360 Let me ask you, because we're going to have you back next week to talk about more detailed stuff for what you're working on.
00:06:27.360 But you and Paxton kind of became legends and standing up for the Constitution and standing up for your states.
00:06:33.660 What is it, because you've got one of the best legal educations, let's say, I've ever seen, right?
00:06:41.680 What is it about the judiciary and even the legal profession that appears that they've so radicalized, that they may be the most radical part of this, of the progressive democratic movement?
00:06:54.340 There may be even more radical than elected, much more radical than even elected officials.
00:06:59.580 Why is that?
00:07:01.800 I think there are two things going on.
00:07:03.980 One is that there are attorneys who become judges who believe in an activist judiciary.
00:07:09.900 And that is to say they believe that judges should do more than just interpret the law, the words of the law neutrally, but that judges should take action and act as a pseudo legislator.
00:07:20.400 And then that's in combination with the fact that the left politically in America is losing a lot of these battles in the legislature.
00:07:29.160 And so they are putting pressure on the courts to give them a victory after they've already lost in front of the representatives of the people.
00:07:35.620 So you've got an ideological mindset among many of the people who go into the judiciary, not all of them, but many of them.
00:07:42.360 And then you've got this intense pressure from the left saying, hey, this is our only, we've lost in the legislature, we can't possibly win in the legislature, we are taking our battle to the courts.
00:07:50.620 And of course, the ACLU is their primary, you know, vanguard.
00:07:55.100 Those are their shock troops every time a case like this is filed.
00:07:58.440 And of course, I'm litigating against the ACLU in this case.
00:08:01.280 Chris, where do people go to your website and social media to follow you and all the fights that you're in?
00:08:11.140 ChrisKobach.com is my personal website, K-R-I-S-K-O-B-A-C-H.com.
00:08:17.000 Also, the Attorney General's official website will include some updates on this litigation too, and that's ag.ks.gov.
00:08:25.740 Chris Kobach from Kansas.
00:08:27.720 Thank you so much, sir.
00:08:28.700 Appreciate you.
00:08:30.200 My pleasure.
00:08:31.100 Thanks, Steve.
00:08:32.500 Also, one of the greatest for years, one of the greatest immigration and fought so many of the great battles that got us to President Trump and where we are today to actually get the mass deportations and to get these illegal aliens out of the country. 0.96
00:08:47.000 Chris Kobach was in the breach many, many times.
00:08:49.860 Is Terry Schilling, do I have Terry Schilling yet?
00:08:52.300 Terry Schilling.
00:08:53.100 Terry Schilling.
00:08:54.580 You just saw Kobach.
00:08:56.440 And I want to say, if it wasn't for people like Kobach and Schilling, Terry, just give us a second because, and I want to talk about the shootings.
00:09:04.340 This movement that you helped identify that was going to be a huge deal a couple of years ago when you came on here, the viciousness of it, I don't think people totally comprehend.
00:09:16.000 Tell me about that for a second.
00:09:17.120 You've seen this now with all these shootings and this anger that seems to be building up.
00:09:21.500 Why is that?
00:09:22.520 And then even people like yourself and Kobach, you know, even if it's about war or if it's about cutting the budget or if it's even about mass deportations and illegal aliens, you do not see the level of hate and vitriol as about this topic.
00:09:38.960 This is, for some reason, the hot button of all hot buttons.
00:09:43.220 Am I misinterpreting that?
00:09:44.420 I mean, we cover a lot of stuff here, bring a lot of people.
00:09:46.860 We do a lot of background research and all this, and I keep telling people, this one is in a different category, sir.
00:09:53.920 No, Steve, you're exactly right.
00:09:55.840 So at the heart of the entire transgender ideology is antisocial behavior, right? 1.00
00:10:02.640 They are rejecting all of society's norms around sex and gender, around normalcy when it comes to protecting children and their innocence from sexual perversion and dysfunction.
00:10:15.080 And that's what's driving it, right?
00:10:18.260 And keep in mind, Steve, these are still men.
00:10:21.380 I will never forget, it was right after the Obergefell decision in 2015, the left immediately pivoted to pushing the trans issue on children and on women in their private spaces.
00:10:32.660 And you would have these big, enormous, burly men wearing dresses and makeup who were threatening to kneecap TERFs. 0.98
00:10:40.380 Now, what's a TERF?
00:10:41.320 It's a trans-exclusionary radical feminist. 1.00
00:10:43.840 So essentially, it's a lesbian who doesn't want to have sex with a woman who has male genitalia, is essentially. 0.98
00:10:50.720 But it's always been a violent movement.
00:10:52.960 You know, this call me ma'am.
00:10:55.160 We've all seen the viral videos.
00:10:56.600 There's way too many of them to point out.
00:10:58.040 And you don't see those types of videos with Christians or with pastors.
00:11:02.020 You know, it's a totally different game.
00:11:04.340 But at the heart of it is incredible amounts of dissatisfaction with one's life.
00:11:09.540 There's been countless articles about how lonely these people are.
00:11:12.800 They can't find a mate. 1.00
00:11:14.720 They can't find a partner because no one wants to do this stuff.
00:11:18.500 It's a very small community.
00:11:19.780 And they become radicalized because they're told that until society begins to affirm them in their gender identity and who they are as a person, that they are going to continue to commit suicide and be depressed and have anxiety.
00:11:34.900 The problem is, is that none of those problems are going to go away until they rectify and reconcile their body with their minds.
00:11:42.160 It's absolutely atrocious, Steve.
00:11:43.900 But the violence doesn't stop there.
00:11:45.640 You know, this Supreme Court case that we're seeing here where we just had a major victory, well, this is a preliminary decision.
00:11:53.600 So basically, right now, all the laws that say that schools can withhold this information about a child transitioning, those are struck down.
00:12:01.880 They're not valid.
00:12:02.760 And the California district has a major victory.
00:12:05.700 This summer, there will be a larger decision that comes out.
00:12:08.340 And we're very optimistic that this decision will end up striking down every single law that banishes parents from the classroom and from knowing about the issues that their children are suffering from.
00:12:19.300 But, Steve, there are seven kids at the heart of this case.
00:12:21.920 And one of them, one of the kids, her parents did not find out until she attempted suicide.
00:12:29.280 Right?
00:12:29.480 So it takes suicide for the school to let the parents know what the kid's going through.
00:12:33.640 And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
00:12:35.020 I want to go back for something because your group has focused on the family.
00:12:40.640 I mean, we used to talk about we're going to put forward a family economic plan.
00:12:43.860 And this is the family is the core building block of our society.
00:12:48.840 And it was in your work on the family that because at its heart, this radical transgender ideology is set up to strike at the heart of the family. 1.00
00:13:00.920 Is it not?
00:13:02.860 No, that's exactly right.
00:13:04.140 So let's go fast forward here.
00:13:06.720 And by the way, I just got to say, this is all the Gavin Newsom and Scott Wiener.
00:13:12.120 Right?
00:13:12.260 Scott Wiener, a lot of your audience might not know him.
00:13:14.500 He's Gavin Newsom's choggy boy on LGBTQ issues. 0.99
00:13:19.380 He's the one that introduced this legislation in the state legislature in California.
00:13:24.820 He's now running for Nancy Pelosi's seat.
00:13:26.820 But this is the guy that's been targeting our children across the board.
00:13:29.860 But, Steve, if you just press fast forward and you let this trans issue play out without anyone stopping it, what happens? 0.74
00:13:36.040 Well, you have a whole generation of infertile people that are sterilized. 1.00
00:13:39.260 They can't have their own children.
00:13:40.660 So then where do you get new people?
00:13:42.920 Well, the corporation and the state will provide that.
00:13:45.320 Right?
00:13:45.440 This is a dystopian novel waiting to happen.
00:13:48.420 These people won't be able to reproduce.
00:13:50.300 They won't be able to have their own families, making them much more miserable, making them have less purpose in their lives, and making them more depressed and suicidal and anxious.
00:13:58.420 It's not good for society.
00:13:59.800 But then on the other end, you will have corporations, fertility clinics that are growing babies in artificial wombs. 0.88
00:14:06.240 And I know this sounds radical now, but I'm saying it now in 2026 so that in five to ten years when it all starts happening, we'll have another marker of how war room and APP were right. 0.98
00:14:16.440 But this is where they're taking us.
00:14:17.980 They want the state and the corporation to determine the means of reproduction.
00:14:23.460 And that's what they're trying to do.
00:14:24.480 This is all Marxism.
00:14:26.220 Carrie Gress has a related book, I think, on feminism called Anti-Mary. 0.95
00:14:31.200 All of this stuff has Marxist roots in it.
00:14:33.220 It's all being driven by people that come from broken homes, from very sad situations, from abuse, from sexual abuse, from physical and verbal abuse.
00:14:41.560 And they're the ones leading the charge of breaking up our families.
00:14:44.580 Hang on one second.
00:14:45.600 I want to hold you through the break, get more questions about where this is headed.
00:14:48.740 Where are we and where this is headed?
00:14:50.020 Terry Schilling, APP.
00:14:51.960 In a moment.
00:14:55.640 A new year means new financial goals, like making sure your savings are secure and diversified.
00:15:05.380 Will this be the year you finally listen to me and talk to someone from Birch Gold Group?
00:15:11.740 Honestly, they're great people.
00:15:13.020 I appreciate their educational approach and their understanding of macroeconomics.
00:15:17.440 There are forces pushing the dollar lower and gold higher, which is why they believe every American should own physical gold.
00:15:26.280 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.
00:15:36.880 To claim eligibility and start the process, just text BANNON at 989898.
00:15:43.180 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.
00:15:53.920 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.
00:16:05.060 Text my name, BANNON, 989898, and claim your eligibility today.
00:16:09.660 Remember, text BANNON, B-A-N-N-O-N, to 989898.
00:16:14.240 You've got to the end of February, 27 February, to qualify.
00:16:18.560 Up to a $10,000 rebate.
00:16:21.120 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bann.
00:16:27.780 Okay, just some logistics planning.
00:16:30.480 The chancellor of Germany, Mertz, is here in a bilat with the president.
00:16:35.120 It was going to be closed press.
00:16:36.340 We're now, we get the word right away, they're lining up the press to go into the Oval.
00:16:40.420 So as soon as, it looks like the president may make some statements, as he does in the bilats when they're sitting in the gold chairs, and he may answer some questions from the media.
00:16:52.380 But we're going to cut to that immediately, and we'll even break, we'll blow our commercial breaks if we have to.

00:19:15.400 I got Brian Kennedy to talk about this executive order, his amazing piece on the blaze.
00:19:22.280 But let's go ahead and play the clip for Terry, bring him back in.
00:19:24.240 News out of the nation's capital today where the Supreme Court has ruled on California policy regarding the notification of parents surrounding their child's gender identity.
00:19:34.940 Today's ruling overturns a state law which prevented schools from notifying parents if students change their pronouns or gender expression at school.
00:19:44.020 This comes after some religious parents and educators challenged California school policies aimed at preventing schools from outing students to their families.
00:19:53.040 California argued students have the right to privacy over their gender expression, especially if they fear rejection from their families.
00:20:00.420 Okay, this is why it was directly at the heart of the family.
00:20:07.000 Because, you know, having children and really having the family and having the children is such a great pleasure and honor in life.
00:20:13.720 And having had the pleasure of growing up in a family, you know, it was five of us, right?
00:20:20.040 And we're all very close.
00:20:21.600 And my mom was a homemaker. 1.00
00:20:23.620 My dad, blue-collar guy, you know, eventually got into lower white-collar management, never went to college, kind of a foreman.
00:20:31.900 But back in those days, you could do that.
00:20:33.800 You see the, was it Tolstoy?
00:20:36.280 I got this right now.
00:20:38.380 All happy families are the same, and every unhappy family is unhappy in its own unique way.
00:20:43.880 You can see that.
00:20:44.680 And what this, Terry, what this always bothered me is that you would have the fear of having kids because these schools, all of a sudden, they can take your children.
00:20:55.000 They imbue it with this just beyond bizarre radical ideology, and they got these books and the librarians, the whole thing.
00:21:02.320 And you as a parent, not only do you have no control and couldn't find out about it, they could come back and sue you.
00:21:08.380 I mean, the stories you hear, first of all, about the kids that they're trying to transition, you hear the stories of the parents, as hard as it is to be a parent in modern America.
00:21:20.340 And you hear this, I go, man, you're not going to have anybody want to have kids because this is demonic.
00:21:27.820 The Marxists, remember, the core of Marxism and the Bolsheviks was to destroy the family. 0.91
00:21:34.700 You destroy the family as the basic unit of the Judeo-Christian West, and you're a long way to take down the whole thing. 0.99
00:21:42.560 And they understood this.
00:21:43.780 And this, of everything we've ever been assaulted with, this was by far the most demonic.
00:21:49.640 And they were vicious about it.
00:21:51.880 And these parents, the heart-running stories, you just gave the story, they only found out about it when their little girl tried to commit suicide.
00:21:58.520 But there are hundreds of stories.
00:22:00.240 So what did the Supreme Court say yesterday?
00:22:02.240 Because to me, this is kind of now the path of the Calvary is arriving.
00:22:08.980 Yes, sir.
00:22:09.820 So the Supreme Court essentially ruled that this law is unconstitutional.
00:22:13.500 It violates parents' rights to direct the upbringing of their children.
00:22:17.660 This is, Steve, parental rights is like pre-constitutional.
00:22:21.960 The Constitution, like, assumes that parents have the right to raise their children and direct their values.
00:22:28.780 You know, they didn't really think that they had to enshrine that.
00:22:31.400 And so the Supreme Court struck this down.
00:22:33.460 I do think it's important, though, Steve, to point out what is actually happening in California,
00:22:38.600 which is that California is conducting experiments on captive audiences, right?
00:22:45.320 And what that means is that the people that they're targeting can't leave.
00:22:49.220 So they go after schoolchildren where the schools and the teachers, these are authority figures, right?
00:22:55.680 Parents tell the kids to do what the teacher says.
00:22:58.080 That's kind of the nature of the schools.
00:22:59.960 But they also do it in prisons.
00:23:01.720 There is a guy, Tremaine Shear, I'm sorry, Tremaine Dion Carroll in the California prison system.
00:23:09.040 He, through sheer force of will and through the help of Gavin Newsom and Scott Wiener,
00:23:14.460 he forced his way as a male into the women's prison by claiming to be a woman.
00:23:19.640 Well, he impregnated his first cellmate, and now he's been indicted for raping the next two.
00:23:26.720 Prisoners can't go anywhere.
00:23:28.240 Neither can students.
00:23:29.640 They trap these people, and they force them to go through these crazy and evil and diabolic experiments around this stuff.
00:23:38.160 It's absolutely atrocious.
00:23:39.860 But I will say, Steve, I do think the tide is turning.
00:23:43.060 This is a huge victory.
00:23:44.640 You know, I'm so used to the Supreme Court giving us a little carve-out, you know,
00:23:49.340 a religious freedom exemption like we saw with Hobby Lobby,
00:23:51.900 or just simply allowing our women's sports laws or our anti-gender mutilation bills to stand and be enforced. 1.00
00:23:59.200 But this law is a major victory.
00:24:01.280 You know, when Roe v. Wade was decided, it struck down all pro-life laws across the country.
00:24:05.040 That's what this ruling is doing on fronts to parental rights to know what their children are suffering from 0.98
00:24:11.520 and what their children are going through.
00:24:13.220 It's a very big day for America.
00:24:15.440 It's a great day for the American family.
00:24:16.780 And by the way, Steve, real quick, the family is the revolution, right?
00:24:20.900 If they take away your right to have children and to raise them and to instill your values,
00:24:25.680 that's like the last recourse.
00:24:27.400 If you can't do anything in politics, if you can't get members of Congress or senators to vote your way
00:24:32.020 or a president elected, you can have children.
00:24:34.540 You can start a little community.
00:24:36.000 You can raise them, instill the right values in them, teach them to be good.
00:24:39.440 And they want to take that away.
00:24:41.740 And that's what these government schools are doing,
00:24:43.720 is they're instilling their values into your children so that they aren't Christian, 0.90
00:24:48.360 so that they aren't American, so that they're Marxists, and so that they hate you.
00:24:52.540 Let me, the engine room, and because we've had this issue now coming down to Texas
00:24:57.340 about charter schools and private schools, all that.
00:25:00.920 I just want to make sure, because the engine room wants to know,
00:25:03.280 that this ruling does not apply to private schools?
00:25:07.600 No, it does not apply to private schools, I don't believe.
00:25:09.820 I will double-check that, but I think this just applies to government in front of schools.
00:25:13.180 But we don't really have this issue going on in private schools.
00:25:17.080 At the elite levels, it's kind of crazy.
00:25:19.140 But those parents that are paying $40,000 a year to send their kids.
00:25:22.960 I don't know.
00:25:23.740 People's heads are blown up right now.
00:25:25.060 I think they would argue the exact opposite.
00:25:26.840 I think in some of the most elite private schools,
00:25:29.620 particularly in New York City and across the country,
00:25:31.380 I think this is a huge problem.
00:25:32.780 Anyway, we'll deal with that.
00:25:33.840 But let's put a pin in that.
00:25:35.020 I think the private schools are, and particularly the ones that are elite,
00:25:38.320 that send people up to Ivy League or Ivy League equivalent,
00:25:41.380 I think this issue is massive.
00:25:43.100 But we'll get you.
00:25:44.060 No, you're right.
00:25:44.800 That is exactly where the problem is.
00:25:46.320 It's not in, like, you know, Holy Spirit Catholic School in Annandale
00:25:49.480 or, you know, any of these local ones.
00:25:51.380 But it's the elites.
00:25:52.440 That's where the real problems are.
00:25:54.600 So how are we going to deal with that if it doesn't apply to that?
00:25:57.340 Has somebody else got to come back and sue on that?
00:25:59.100 Is that how we do it?
00:26:01.180 You would have to pass a law to make it illegal for private schools
00:26:04.960 or for any schools to do this.
00:26:06.640 What's happened is the law that was struck down
00:26:09.760 only applied to the government-funded schools,
00:26:13.060 and that's what's being struck down.
00:26:14.200 So you would need to pass a new set of laws
00:26:16.560 that would apply to all schools across the country.
00:26:20.120 Now, that was the question that the people that follow these private schools
00:26:23.140 and are fighting these elite private schools that are saying,
00:26:26.300 hey, they're destroying the nation.
00:26:28.040 However, we had other engine room people that came and said,
00:26:32.240 Terry, you've put out a new term that the war room posse is not familiar with.
00:26:36.640 You have to explain it.
00:26:38.600 Turf. 0.72
00:26:39.680 Is it T?
00:26:40.640 What is turf?
00:26:42.280 Explain it.
00:26:43.220 We've got about a minute, sir.
00:26:45.340 We've got 90 seconds.
00:26:46.200 You're going to get your pitch at the end.
00:26:47.380 But what is turf?
00:26:50.140 Trans, exclusionary, radical feminists. 0.96
00:26:53.480 These are essentially lesbians who don't believe that men can become women, 1.00
00:26:57.960 and they don't want transgendered men who claim to be women
00:27:02.120 to be in the feminist movement, right? 0.84
00:27:05.040 This is a big fight.
00:27:06.620 This is a big fight.
00:27:07.740 This is a big fight.
00:27:08.400 It's a huge fight.
00:27:09.540 But yeah, that's who it is.
00:27:10.660 That's who the trans women want to kneecap and kill. 1.00
00:27:14.660 Yeah, no, this is actually a big fight over on that side of the aisle.
00:27:19.240 Terry, you're doing incredible work.
00:27:20.820 You're the tip of the spear on this, but also APP, 0.74
00:27:23.300 just its basic talk about economics and everything around the family,
00:27:26.980 natalist, all of it.
00:27:28.440 Where do people go?
00:27:29.120 AmericanPrinciplesProject.org,
00:27:32.500 or check me out across all social media channels, especially X.
00:27:36.640 It's Schilling1776, S-C-H-I-L-L-I-N-G, 1776.
00:27:42.040 Now, you're a man of action for the cause.
00:27:44.380 Where do we stand with number eight?
00:27:48.280 Any day now, Steve.
00:27:50.120 The inducement date is March 16th, so 3-16.
00:27:55.240 That'll be fun.
00:27:55.620 We might have to name him John.
00:27:56.540 Between, what, the Ides of March and St. Patrick's Day.
00:28:00.520 Not too shabby.
00:28:01.280 Terry Schilling.
00:28:02.180 Terry Schilling, thank you so much.
00:28:04.180 Thank you, brother.
00:28:05.900 The vitriol that these folks are standing for this, you can't imagine.
00:28:09.680 Raw hate.
00:28:11.060 Short commercial break.
00:28:12.140 We're going to talk about the 2020.
00:28:13.640 It's election day in Texas for the primary,
00:28:17.220 but all eyes are also on the midterms.
00:28:20.500 The world is getting more unstable and chaotic every day.
00:28:23.720 It seems like everywhere you look, there's another crisis, another controversy, another
00:28:29.460 conflict, or just outright catastrophe.
00:28:32.820 You can't control what happens out there, but you can control how you prepare for it.
00:28:39.060 You can make sure that no matter what happens, you have the basics covered in case one of
00:28:44.280 these disasters reaches your doorstep.

00:29:50.840 Here's your host, Stephen K.
00:29:52.960 Bannon.
00:29:54.160 Okay, Brian Kennedy is here.
00:29:56.280 As you know, he's one of my favorite people.
00:29:58.000 Co-founder of the Committee on the Present Danger of China.
00:30:01.680 Been just a guy that we can depend on from the very early days of America First and one of
00:30:06.620 our leading public intellectuals.
00:30:08.700 But Brian, before I get into this amazing piece you wrote in The Blaze, I wanted, we
00:30:12.840 tried to cram it in yesterday, but I needed to breathe today because people have to understand
00:30:16.920 the path here for the 2026 midterms and make sure that we've given everything in Georgia,
00:30:23.040 given everything in Michigan, given everything up in Wisconsin, in Maricopa County, and in
00:30:28.520 Pennsylvania.
00:30:28.840 We've got to sort this out.
00:30:31.180 Grace Chong has told me, she's upset.
00:30:34.820 I haven't had enough boomer neoconism on.
00:30:38.200 So can you give a minute summary of where you think we stand in this major military operation,
00:30:44.620 sir?
00:30:46.060 Yes.
00:30:46.560 Thank you, Steve.
00:30:47.200 Thanks for those kind words, too.
00:30:48.460 I would consider this boomer America First-ism, not neoconism.
00:30:53.680 The neocons wanted to engage in the democracy project all around the world, and I don't
00:30:59.660 subscribe to that at all.
00:31:01.120 The president doesn't subscribe to that.
00:31:03.080 This is, I think what I think about this is just simply America First.
00:31:07.060 The president's conducted this war here in Iran to put America First, to put America
00:31:12.280 defense first, there may be ancillary benefits to Israel, obviously, throughout this.
00:31:19.400 We may be doing this, obviously, we're doing this in concert with Israel.
00:31:23.260 But the president's main purpose is making sure that America is defended from Iranian ballistic 1.00
00:31:29.980 missiles and their nuclear program, which he is systematically degrading over the next
00:31:35.440 four or five weeks, he says.
00:31:37.400 Now, this idea that we're running out of everything and that this is a badly planned operation,
00:31:44.940 I'm not sure how we would even know that.
00:31:47.840 Maybe asking our allies for some of the interceptors back may be an indication of that.
00:31:54.120 But when it comes to American capabilities in terms of offensive forces and even much of
00:32:00.320 our defensive forces, we have a lot.
00:32:02.820 And this military would not be engaging this over a five-week period without adequate resources.
00:32:10.400 I will give our military more credit than that, Steve.
00:32:14.060 Yeah.
00:32:14.080 And let's go to the, Fennell, yourself, you're a co-founder of the Community President, Danger,
00:32:19.980 Gaffney, Dr. Thayer, and we consider ourselves the leader of the anti-CCP movement, at least
00:32:26.480 here in the country.
00:32:28.460 And, but the main thing, the main thing, we now have Korea, we have politicians in Korea
00:32:34.920 saying, hey, look, we feel betrayed because you're taking, you're asking for the thads back.
00:32:39.700 The Japanese prime minister just won a sweeping victory, I think 75%, on essentially saying,
00:32:45.260 we're not going to have a self-defense force, we're going to rearm.
00:32:48.460 And I'm looking at my partner, President Trump, as my bestie here.
00:32:54.360 Do you think, and keeping the main thing, the main thing, and I want to get Stephen Mosher,
00:32:59.640 he's got a great piece up in the New York Post, it was exclusive, the great Stephen Mosher,
00:33:03.780 although I'm not sure he tied in enough of the military aspect of it.
00:33:07.900 Are we stripping East Asia right now and exposing Taiwan as we double and triple down with the 0.98
00:33:15.060 Persians? 0.61
00:33:15.480 Well, let's hope we're not, Steve.
00:33:18.520 That would be a bad thing if we were.
00:33:20.980 Because, as I argued, I think before, this is a phase of World War III that you rightly 1.00
00:33:27.420 have described over the last several years.
00:33:30.200 And so this is not just about Iran.
00:33:32.400 This is certainly about China.
00:33:34.440 Now, some folks say that the Chinese have been egging us into this so as to expose ourself
00:33:40.100 over there in the Middle East so that we can deplete our forces, what have you, and be
00:33:45.640 incapable of defending Taiwan.
00:33:49.320 Certainly, that is a problem for us.
00:33:51.740 But wars are fought this way, Steve.
00:33:54.240 There's all sorts of problems throughout a war.
00:33:57.100 Wars are not fought in a couple days, as if this was something that you can watch on TV
00:34:02.220 and one, like a Netflix special, and it'll be over and things will be simple or perfect.
00:34:07.620 And that's not how wars are.
00:34:09.280 I think we need to grow up a bit as a country on what it takes to fight wars.
00:34:15.060 Do we need more munitions?
00:34:16.320 Yes.
00:34:16.700 Are our factories working around the clock, producing more munitions, offensive and defensive?
00:34:23.040 Well, they should be.
00:34:24.160 We should find out today, are our factories who produce these interceptors, are they working
00:34:29.380 around the clock to make sure that we don't need to deplete our allies?
00:34:33.440 Are our allies producing their own defensive weapons and offensive weapons?
00:34:37.700 This is simply the nature.
00:34:39.680 If we have to rely simply on making this perfect before we do it, it'll never get done.
00:34:46.500 And so I have a lot of faith in the president and our military to get this piece of it right.
00:34:51.780 I think the reason he's called the media, I think we're going to go to the oval momentarily
00:34:56.020 for this bilat.
00:34:56.960 I think the president's going to have a couple of things to say just about this.
00:34:59.660 Allies, arms, the ability to take down the, of course, Bridge Colby has said, and I'm getting
00:35:07.520 this from McCabe and from Dr. Thayer, who are both watching.
00:35:10.200 McCabe's there.
00:35:10.960 Thayer, I think, watching the stream.
00:35:12.380 The bridges make the argument, does this take down the ballistic missile system, any nuclear
00:35:15.880 capability, and their fleet?
00:35:18.100 It's the degradation or destroy that.
00:35:20.580 Brian, I want to pivot.
00:35:21.940 Start at the top.
00:35:23.580 We've got about eight or nine minutes here.
00:35:25.100 The floor is yours.
00:35:26.040 I want you to walk through the whole logic of this, because this is one of the most important
00:35:29.480 pieces I've seen.
00:35:31.080 And it gets to a ticking time bomb that we've got to take care of, and we've got to move
00:35:34.480 on this immediately.
00:35:35.320 The floor is yours, sir.
00:35:37.100 Well, thank you, Steve.
00:35:37.860 Really, this grew in part out of our work on the Committee on the Present Danger China.
00:35:41.700 We saw the Chinese declare a people's war against the United States in May of 2019.
00:35:48.960 And throughout 2019 and 2020, and I'd come on the war room, we were talking about the
00:35:53.540 Chinese threat to the country. 1.00
00:35:54.960 And after the election of 2020, when it looked like the election was stolen, I had a team of
00:36:01.920 many of them retired intel officers, including our friend, the late Rich Higgins.
00:36:07.940 Many of them put together a report and was studying and evaluating what happened in the
00:36:13.980 election.
00:36:14.580 I went to Arizona.
00:36:15.740 I went to Nevada to investigate what went on.
00:36:18.940 The other intel officers were doing their own investigations, and we all came to the
00:36:25.680 conclusion that we may not be able to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the election
00:36:31.240 was stolen in 2020.
00:36:32.840 All of us believe so.
00:36:34.440 But what we noticed was the electronic voting systems that were in place, all of them were
00:36:40.920 using component pieces within their system that were made in communist China, the same
00:36:46.760 way our cell phones and our laptop computers were all made in communist China, so were the
00:36:52.760 voting machines.
00:36:53.780 Some of them are built in the United States, but they're all using electronic components.
00:36:59.100 That was a great concern because the PLA has a cyber army of a million men who are capable
00:37:06.660 of all sorts of nefarious cyber activity.
00:37:10.800 That was a concern.
00:37:11.880 Anything that is a computer-based system can be programmed.
00:37:17.360 And when you looked at the providence of who programs these election systems, some of
00:37:23.020 it in some of the systems is done in America, still using the Chinese components.
00:37:28.300 But the providence of the software looked to be evaluated by communist China.
00:37:35.220 Some of the design was in Venezuela in some of the systems.
00:37:38.540 Some of the systems used software that was designed in Serbia.
00:37:44.840 And, you know, just that they may be perfectly honest, these machines, but just at the level
00:37:50.200 of transparency, people look at that and they think, you know, that seems crazy.
00:37:55.360 And I got subpoenaed by the Biden Justice Department at the end of 2022.
00:38:02.340 Then in 2023, I testified before a grand jury for six and a half hours on this.
00:38:09.360 It was one of the January 6th grand juries.
00:38:12.860 It was myself and the former National Security Advisor for President Trump, Robert O'Brien.
00:38:18.680 He was in front of one of the other parts of the grand jury.
00:38:21.940 But we testified, I testified for six and a half hours.
00:38:24.600 And the real question was all about this electronic system and its vulnerability.
00:38:30.760 They had a 50-page PowerPoint that I and the rest of the team had produced, Rich Higgins
00:38:35.940 especially, that laid out the Chinese origins of the electronics and the foreign ownership
00:38:43.820 of some of the other components.
00:38:46.100 My big push at the time was, we need to investigate this.
00:38:51.940 The federal government needs to investigate it.
00:38:54.540 This is obviously the weeks after the election and get to the bottom of this.
00:39:01.440 Well, all these years later, we've had a lot of theories about what went on, but we've
00:39:05.600 never gotten to the bottom of it.
00:39:07.420 We know that there were all sorts of improprieties in the election in 2020.
00:39:13.000 And those things have only now, really, now that President Trump's back in office, are
00:39:20.260 being thoroughly investigated here.
00:39:22.440 But we're losing a major opportunity.
00:39:26.220 We have an election coming up here this fall, the midterms.
00:39:31.640 We have, it's game day here in Texas.
00:39:35.100 In Texas, you know, you have low voter turnout.
00:39:38.280 A certain percentage of the people don't believe the elections are fair.
00:39:41.640 They think the system is rigged, and so they don't vote.
00:39:45.060 It may be a small percentage, but a significant percentage of people really does affect the
00:39:50.400 outcome.
00:39:51.160 What I'm calling for in this piece, after laying all this out, is the fact that because
00:39:57.360 Communist China is part of the mix of these electronic machines that we prohibit through
00:40:03.820 an executive order by the president and a presidential finding if necessary, that we simply can't
00:40:09.940 use these electronic voting machines because of the potential for foreign interference.
00:40:15.860 Tulsi Gabbard is looking into this.
00:40:17.840 She's certainly looking into what transpired in Georgia.
00:40:21.140 And my hope is between Tulsi Gabbard and the president, they do sign an executive order
00:40:26.580 banning the voting machines, electronic voting machines, and the tabulators and anything electronic,
00:40:32.620 because all of it's going to be touched by Communist China at one level from being used in any future
00:40:39.060 election.
00:40:40.240 Now, once you do that, you're going to have to have a system in place to replace the electronic
00:40:46.800 voting system.
00:40:47.600 And all sorts of people in the war room is very familiar with this, have called for, including
00:40:53.300 Michael Lindell, who's been a real champion of this, a voting system that uses paper ballots, voter
00:41:00.720 ID, that they're counted by human beings with other human beings watching them, that these things are all
00:41:07.680 streamed online so there's absolute transparency about who wins in an election.
00:41:13.360 Because if you don't know who wins your elections, you don't really have a country anymore.
00:41:19.580 You're not a sovereign people if, in fact, you don't know who wins the election.
00:41:25.000 And I describe in the piece, we have the crisis of illegal immigration.
00:41:30.000 If you don't have a border, you don't have a country.
00:41:33.060 And if you don't have a voting system, you can't really give consent properly for the
00:41:38.700 republic you're living in here.
00:41:40.580 And so I'm very serious when I say the president, if he does want to secure the elections, and by
00:41:47.160 every measure, he believes the 2020 election was stolen.
00:41:51.200 He thinks the electronic machines are a problem, but not everybody in the White House does.
00:41:56.900 And it is my sincere hope that he looks hard at this essay and looks hard at the
00:42:03.000 executive orders that are before him and talks to all of his best people about this and pulls
00:42:10.560 the trigger on making sure that the machines are banned and that a new system is put in
00:42:16.360 place.
00:42:16.800 If we ban the system, I got a minute and I get a bounce.
00:42:22.220 If we ban the system, is there enough time with all these people who have been working
00:42:26.340 on it to put some at least rudimentary system in place that could guarantee free and fair
00:42:31.700 elections?
00:42:32.180 Absolutely.
00:42:33.660 Absolutely there is.
00:42:35.320 We know how to produce ballots.
00:42:37.960 We used to do this in this country, have paper ballots counted by human beings.
00:42:42.220 We can easily replicate that system.
00:42:44.620 We absolutely need to.
00:42:45.880 People will have more faith in the system.
00:42:48.260 It will be the fairest election in the history of the country.
00:42:52.200 And that is the kind of thing that a free people need.
00:42:55.200 We also see that the blue states around this country don't seem to care about...
00:42:58.540 They're in a political war against the president in the blue states, and we can't rely on them
00:43:04.880 to produce fair elections anymore.
00:43:07.880 The way the state boards of elections have behaved when it comes to any kind of oversight
00:43:13.840 is simply ridiculous.
00:43:16.760 And the president really does need to do something about that if we want to have fair elections
00:43:20.140 in the future.
00:43:21.160 You can find the piece over at TheBlaze.com.
00:43:24.300 I'm putting it up at PresentDangerChina.org.
00:43:26.880 And it'll also be on my social media, BrianTKennedy1 on X, and BrianTKennedy on Getter and TrueSocial.
00:43:36.760 Thank you, Steve, for championing this issue.
00:43:40.680 Absolutely.
00:43:41.680 It must happen.
00:43:42.600 BrianTKennedy.
00:43:44.120 Thank you so much, brother.
00:43:44.980 If you could make one holiday wish, would you wish to be free from your credit card and
00:43:54.600 other debt?
00:43:56.120 Let's see if we can help you with that.
00:43:58.660 If we could give yourself one gift this holiday season, would it be finally to get some relief
00:44:03.840 from your credit card and other debt?
00:44:05.720 I might have a solution.
00:44:08.020 Here's why now is the time to make a move.
00:44:10.840 This time of year, credit card and loan companies close out their books.
00:44:14.160 They clean up past due accounts.
00:44:17.740 They sell a write-off to debt to clear their books.
00:44:21.020 That means if you have credit card debt and unpaid bills, lenders may be more open to
00:44:25.760 negotiating and settling your account before you're in.
00:44:29.480 That means right now, and I mean right now, you may actually have leverage.
00:44:35.300 And Done With Debt knows how to use this to your advantage.
00:44:38.960 They monitor lender trends and understand the year-end pressure on creditors.
00:44:42.940 They use that timing to negotiate hard on your behalf.
00:44:48.000 Now's the time to get out from under crushing debt and interest payments without bankruptcy
00:44:52.600 or taking on new loans.
00:44:55.520 Done With Debt goes to work for you month one with one clear goal, to reduce your total debt
00:45:02.060 and leave you with more money every month.
00:45:04.780 Get started now, because your leverage may disappear at the end of the year.
00:45:11.860 Chat with a Done With Debt specialist at donewithdebt.com.
00:45:15.740 That's donewithdebt.com, donewithdebt.com.
00:45:19.900 Do it today.
00:45:20.940 Here's your host, Stephen K.
00:45:24.300 Babb.
00:45:27.720 To the President of the United States in the Oval Office.
00:45:30.660 Let's go and roll.
00:45:31.460 I'm with a man who's become a friend of mine, and we've known each other for a little while
00:45:35.820 in some very interesting times.
00:45:39.480 And we get along.
00:45:41.000 Our countries get along very well.
00:45:43.220 We have a great affinity for each other.
00:45:46.520 And the chancellor has been very well received in Germany.
00:45:50.840 He's a very, very successful man.
00:45:52.840 Became the chancellor of Germany, which is a big deal.
00:45:56.840 And he's doing a very good job, in my opinion, a really great job.
00:46:00.360 Very popular.
00:46:01.840 And the relationship that we have in trade and everything else has been very strong.
00:46:06.800 We've been able to do our deals, and it's been very strong.
00:46:10.480 We'll obviously be talking a little bit about Iran today.
00:46:13.940 And he's been helping us out.
00:46:15.840 We've been very nice, actually.
00:46:18.180 And that is coming along, as you see, very well.
00:46:22.320 They have no navy.
00:46:23.220 It's been knocked out.
00:46:24.060 They have no air force that's been knocked out.
00:46:26.800 They have no air detection that's been knocked out.
00:46:29.520 Their radar has been knocked out.
00:46:31.960 And just about everything's been knocked out.
00:46:35.800 So we'll see how we do.
00:46:37.640 But we're doing very well.
00:46:39.680 We have a great military, and they're doing a fantastic job.
00:46:43.560 So we'll be talking about that.
00:46:44.880 And we're talking about some very big trade deals.
00:46:49.500 And those, I know, will work out, too.
00:46:51.740 So I just want to say it's a great honor to have you at the Oval Office.
00:46:55.240 The beautiful Oval Office, beautiful White House.
00:46:58.560 It's a special place, even from your standpoint.
00:47:01.980 And you have some very special places, too.
00:47:04.260 And I look forward to being with you.
00:47:06.420 Thank you very much.
00:47:07.520 Thank you.
00:47:07.780 Thank you, Mr. President, for having me here in this Oval Office for the third time now.
00:47:14.640 Yeah.
00:47:14.920 I'm really happy to have the opportunity to speak with you in these challenging times.
00:47:20.220 We are on the same page in terms of getting this terrible regime in Tehran away.
00:47:30.820 And we will talk about the day after what will happen then, if they are out.
00:47:36.800 We have to talk about our trade agreement, which I would like to be in place as soon as possible.
00:47:43.840 And we have to talk about Ukraine.
00:47:46.080 There are too many bad guys in this world, actually.
00:47:50.720 And this is an issue we have to talk about, because we all want to see this war coming to an end as soon as possible.
00:47:58.720 But Ukraine has to preserve its territory and their security interests.
00:48:04.020 And, well, we will talk about that.
00:48:05.880 We will.
00:48:06.600 Looking forward to that.
00:48:08.380 Well, thank you for being here.
00:48:09.680 Thank you.
00:48:10.360 That's an interesting...
00:48:11.040 For your hospitality.
00:48:11.800 Thank you for letting me spending the night in your guesthouse.
00:48:15.300 That's right.
00:48:15.860 It's a very, very comfortable place.
00:48:18.360 But you liked it, right?
00:48:19.000 Absolutely.
00:48:19.720 Yeah, a great place.
00:48:20.680 And a famous place.
00:48:21.880 That's good.
00:48:22.280 Very famous.
00:48:22.600 So many former presidents.
00:48:24.080 That's right.
00:48:24.640 Very famous place.
00:48:26.680 Any questions, please?
00:48:27.840 Mr. President, did Israel force your hand to launch these strikes against Iran?
00:48:34.160 Did that help pull the United States into this war?
00:48:36.680 No, I might have forced their hand.
00:48:38.000 You see, we were having negotiations with these lunatics, and it was my opinion that they were
00:48:46.160 going to attack first.
00:48:47.000 They were going to attack.
00:48:48.100 If we didn't do it, they were going to attack first.
00:48:51.640 I felt strongly about that.
00:48:53.020 And we have great negotiators, great people, people that do this very successfully, and
00:48:58.840 have done it all their lives very successfully.
00:49:00.860 And based on the way the negotiation was going, I think they were going to attack first.
00:49:05.600 And I didn't want that to happen.
00:49:09.260 So if anything, I might have forced Israel's hand. 0.81
00:49:12.720 But Israel was ready, and we were ready.
00:49:14.620 And we've had a very, very powerful impact because virtually everything they have has
00:49:20.760 been knocked out now.
00:49:22.560 Their missile count is going way down.
00:49:25.700 Amazingly, they're hitting countries that were, you know, let's call them neutral, right?
00:49:30.560 They lived together for a long time.
00:49:32.980 And they, I think they were surprised.
00:49:35.820 I was surprised.
00:49:36.600 I think it, and now those countries are all fighting against them and fighting strongly
00:49:40.240 against them.
00:49:42.280 Someday they'll write a story and they'll say why they did that.
00:49:46.040 But they hit countries that had nothing to do with what's going on.
00:49:50.840 They were sort of leaving everything alone.
00:49:53.020 All of a sudden they get, they had missiles shot in, which shows you the level of evil that
00:49:58.320 we're dealing with.
00:49:58.960 They'll hit people that were actually at least somewhat friendly.
00:50:02.980 And they had no problems with it.
00:50:05.300 Also hitting only civilian places, hotels and apartment buildings.
00:50:11.520 And we're hitting them where it is much more appropriate.
00:50:15.700 We're hitting them very hard.
00:50:16.900 And the big scale hitting goes now.
00:50:20.100 They no longer have air protection.
00:50:22.120 They no longer have any detection facilities at all left.
00:50:25.900 And so they're going to, they're going to be in for a lot of hurt.
00:50:31.540 These are bad people.
00:50:32.340 These are people that killed, I guess it's 35,000.
00:50:34.900 It's coming out 35,000 over the last three weeks.
00:50:38.820 Protesters, 35,000 violently killed.
00:50:41.760 So these are bad people.
00:50:45.580 And the leader of the pack is gone.
00:50:48.460 And as you know, 49 people were taken out in the first hit.
00:50:51.640 And I guess there was another hit today on the new leadership.
00:50:54.820 And it looks like that was pretty substantial also.
00:50:58.440 So they're getting hit very hard.
00:51:00.700 And we'll see what happens.
00:51:02.140 A lot of people are coming forward.
00:51:04.260 A lot of the people you would least suspect want to quit.
00:51:08.800 They want to have immunity.
00:51:10.620 They're asking for immunity.
00:51:12.640 And probably at some point they'll be dropping, as you would say, laying down their guns.
00:51:17.520 We'll see what happens.
00:51:19.160 In the meantime, we're just continuing to go forward.
00:51:21.620 Our military is the number one in the world by far.
00:51:24.680 And we are, this is, everything's big in my book.
00:51:29.420 Venezuela was big.
00:51:30.620 This is big.
00:51:31.320 The original hit, Midnight Hammer, was big.
00:51:34.880 Everything you view is big.
00:51:36.220 But it's not considered very big by some standards, by some of our standards.
00:51:42.980 We have a military like no other military that's ever been built.
00:51:48.380 Mr. President, what's the worst-case scenario that you have planned for in Iran?
00:51:54.480 Well, I don't know if there's a worst case.
00:51:56.100 We have them very much beaten militarily from the military standpoint.
00:52:02.660 They're still lobbing some missiles.
00:52:04.540 At some point, they won't even be able to do that because we're hitting all of their carriers.
00:52:08.460 We're hitting all of their missile stock.
00:52:11.040 You know, they built up all these missiles over the last few years.
00:52:14.120 They had a lot of them.
00:52:15.220 They've shot a lot of them.
00:52:16.540 And we're knocking out a lot.
00:52:18.380 I guess the worst case would be we do this and then somebody takes over who's as bad
00:52:24.460 as the previous person, right?
00:52:26.660 That could happen.
00:52:28.060 We don't want that to happen.
00:52:29.680 It would probably be the worst.
00:52:31.020 You go through this.
00:52:31.800 And then in five years, you realize you put somebody in who is no better.
00:52:35.960 So we'd like to see somebody in there that's going to bring it back for the people.
00:52:41.880 And we'll see what happens with the people.
00:52:43.620 You know, they have their chance.
00:52:45.340 And we've said, don't do it yet.
00:52:47.100 If you're going to go out and protest, don't do it yet.
00:52:49.080 It's very dangerous out there.
00:52:51.020 A lot of bombs are being dropped.
00:52:52.920 But I always say that would be about the worst.
00:52:55.040 Do you have someone in mind right now?
00:52:56.840 Because you've said all the people you did have in mind have been taken out.
00:53:00.120 Well, most of the people we had in mind are dead.
00:53:02.780 So, you know, we had some in mind from that group that is dead.
00:53:08.280 And now we have another group.
00:53:10.320 They may be dead also, based on reports.
00:53:13.600 So, I guess you have a third wave coming in.
00:53:16.240 Pretty soon, we're not going to know anybody.
00:53:18.700 But we have, I mean...

00:53:29.320 With the national conversation around abolishing the income tax,
00:53:33.880 the IRS is fighting back and proving it's here to stay
00:53:37.000 by becoming more aggressive than ever before.
00:53:40.080 They're sending out more collection notices,
00:53:42.320 filing more tax liens,
00:53:44.500 and collecting billions more in recent years.
00:53:47.920 If you owe, the IRS can garnish your wages,
00:53:51.920 levy your bank accounts,
00:53:53.640 seize your retirement, and even your home.
00:53:56.380 If you owe or haven't filed,
00:53:58.700 it's not a question of if the IRS will act.
