On today's show, Stephen K. Bannon is joined by the Daily Signal's Elizabeth Troutman-Mitchell to discuss President Trump's speech on Iran and the aftermath of it. Plus, a special guest joins the show to debate whether or not the president walked into an escalatory trap.
00:00:29.000I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:00:34.540Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:00:38.280If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:00:44.680War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:00:51.400It's Thursday to April, the year of the Lord, 2026.
00:00:54.680It's Holy Thursday, and we're going to do some special things tonight.
00:01:00.060I am going to have, to make sure you've got a broad range of analysis, Dr. Thayer, who vehemently disagrees that President Trump has walked into an escalatory trap, he's going to be on the evening show probably at 6.
00:01:16.640We're going to work this too with Dr. Thayer and others to kind of counter the arguments of Brandon Weikert and Kurt Mills.
00:01:23.040We want to make sure you get all the information possible. Come to your own conclusions, as we need you to do.
00:01:28.340Join now from the Daily Signal, Rob Louis, great news site with Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell.
00:01:36.500You cover the White House. Walk us through their thinking, the speech, the outcome of the speech, the tee up, because I think the markets did not react.
00:01:45.360it's pretty obvious and in a big way did not react the way that the president felt they were
00:01:51.240because i believe he felt hey i'm giving people as specific as i can get to give since we're in
00:01:56.720war i can't say hey it's definitely going to be two weeks but he believes i think that he teed
00:02:02.100up an off ramp liz your thoughts yeah i think going into this speech the american people expected
00:02:09.120to see that he was one going to announce that we were about to withdraw from the war that's what
00:02:15.280Politico reported in advance was that the president was going to announce the war was
00:02:18.800winding down. Of course, that did not happen. I think people expected either that or they expected
00:02:23.300to hear that he was going to send ground troops or escalate the war in a major way. Instead,
00:02:28.100we got kind of similar to what we've heard before, which is that the president said there would be
00:02:32.400two to three weeks left that he was going to destroy Iran's nuclear capacity once again,
00:02:38.240and that the families of the 13 soldiers whose lives have been lost want him to finish the job
00:02:43.900in Iran. I thought this was particularly interesting because I traveled with the
00:02:47.600president this weekend and was able to get an update from him on Iran while we were on Air
00:02:52.680Force One flying back to D.C. And he told us that Iran was allowing the passage of 20 oil ships,
00:02:58.080that he was very optimistic about negotiations, that they were finally talking to the right people,
00:03:02.600and that he could see a war ending soon. And so I asked him, could you see a deal coming this very
00:03:07.500week? And he said yes, that he could see that. That could happen. But of course, we're nearing
00:03:12.120the end of this week. We haven't heard a deal yet. And I think I was somewhat expecting that
00:03:16.320maybe that deal would be announced last night that he previewed Sunday night, but instead we
00:03:20.860are sticking with that original four to six weeks. Sounds like maybe even a little bit longer
00:03:24.760timeline for the operation. When they talk about a deal, it looks like the Israelis may have taken
00:03:33.940out the one person that's somehow in contact to, I guess, the Pakistanis with the vice president's
00:03:40.580office but to date in your reporting are we actually even in communications directly with
00:03:48.320any of the what's left of the regime or the different aspects of the regime because my
00:03:52.260understanding there's a couple of three power centers vying to trying to control this thing
00:03:57.380as they've dispersed do you have any sense that the united states is in any direct communication
00:04:02.440with someone of authority that could actually not just make a deal but actually enforce a deal with
00:04:08.920the United States? The president has repeatedly said, he's told the press many times, that regime
00:04:15.240change has occurred, that they've knocked out the original regime, the one after that, maybe even the
00:04:20.280one after that, and that they're finally negotiating with the right people. He has not specifically
00:04:24.420clarified who those right people are. He has said a lot about how the Ayatollah's son, they say he's
00:04:29.960in charge, but no one knows if he's alive. He likely is dead or incapacitated. And so it sounds
00:04:35.360like whoever they're negotiating with, they feel like they're able to move forward with,
00:04:39.200but the president said on the plane to us that you just never know with Iran, things could
00:04:43.080change rapidly, even if things are looking good, maybe they don't stay that way.
00:04:49.580Brandon Weikert brings up the point that as much as the president talks about a two or three week
00:04:56.260off ramp, as much as he continues to say, hey, look, our military objectives are bang, bang,
00:05:01.660bang and we're very close we've completed most of them there's a few others we haven't completed
00:05:06.900that we continue to pour resources in military hardware more operational capabilities uh we
00:05:16.060continue to pour it into the region uh your thoughts on that is the president just doing
00:05:20.660that so he's got a hammer particularly this thing that he said at the end that if the iranians don't
00:05:25.740come to some sort of agreement uh we're gonna we're definitely going to escalate and take out
00:05:31.000and take out their power grid and maybe even their oil and gas production capability?
00:05:38.680Well, I think we've heard from administration, many different officials have said that we are
00:05:43.660well ahead of schedule. They've been saying that really since the early days. And then we're also
00:05:48.200hearing this two to three week suggestion, which would have us be there even longer than originally
00:05:53.800anticipated. So I think people are wondering, are we really ahead of schedule considering
00:05:58.300that kind of inconsistency there. But I think what's going on here is the president wants to
00:06:02.400keep all his options on the table. He doesn't want to back himself into a corner. And anything
00:06:06.440that he shares with the American people, with the media, is something that the enemy in Iran will
00:06:11.260hear as well. And so I think that it's possible that there will be this kind of escalation. And
00:06:16.220we've seen reports about the 82nd Division being sent over there, which would, of course, be a
00:06:21.020major escalation. But I think no matter what happens, no matter what these reports say,
00:06:25.500I take it with a grain of salt because we know the president is not going to want to show all of his cards to the enemy and put himself into a situation he can't get out of.
00:06:37.260Talk to us about what do you anticipate?
00:06:39.920You've got the you've got the Easter holidays.
00:06:42.260I think the president is going back to Mar-a-Lago.
00:06:44.280What do you anticipate we could look forward to over these next four or five days?
00:06:49.060I think when the president goes down to Mar-a-Lago, we can expect that he is going to be spending his weekend continuing these negotiations.
00:06:56.540The first thing he told us on the plane after his last weekend in Palm Beach was that he had spent the weekend having very productive negotiations with Iran and that a lot of progress had been made.
00:07:07.040And so I think we can all hope that progress will be made again.
00:07:10.440I know he'll be working on this from Palm Beach during the Easter weekend.
00:07:14.160as a reporter that covers the white house last question because there's a difference of opinion
00:07:21.020i i thought it was pretty clear about staying with the program he's got to to degrade and
00:07:28.760destroy much of the uh the iranian military but uh both kurt mills and brennan wikert who who you
00:07:35.660know people understand they come from one side of this uh they thought that he opened up and
00:07:40.620implied that it could be open for ground troops. In listening to that speech and covering the
00:07:46.940White House, do you take anything away from last night that actually said that we could in the two
00:07:53.840or three-week period or beyond insert ground troops there? Well, as someone who closely
00:07:59.720follows the president, I noticed that the majority of the things that he said in his speech last
00:08:03.900night are things that we've heard before, talking about bringing Iran back to the Stone Age,
00:08:09.080talking about that two- to three-week timeline, how important it is to destroy their nuclear
00:08:13.060capacity, reopen the Strait of Hormuz, all that. And so I really didn't hear anything
00:08:18.700super different coming out of that speech last night. I mean, the president has never ruled out
00:08:23.660ground troops. He's never ruled out any options. He's always said he wants to keep everything on
00:08:27.580the table. So are ground troops possible? Certainly. He's never said that it's not going to happen. It
00:08:32.580could very well happen. But I didn't see him particularly opening the door for that in a
00:08:37.240new way in his speech last night he's pretty tough on uh he's pretty tough on uh nato the
00:08:43.900last couple days on true social and and comments he made in fact i think even as we speak starmer
00:08:50.340is collecting 24 nations to at least begin a a starting conversation about what they would do
00:08:57.980to replace america if we weren't if our navy didn't have the uh in military didn't have the
00:09:03.260responsibility of keeping the open, the straight or her moves, or at least maybe getting more
00:09:07.920aggressive with that against the Iranians. Did that strike you as odd last night? He was quite,
00:09:12.760I thought, gentle on NATO and the other allies that haven't pitched in here. He just told me,
00:09:17.260he says, hey, you've got to cherish it. For those of you that take the oil out and drive your
00:09:21.700economy, you've got to cherish this, you know, almost like you've got to hug it.
00:09:26.760Did you think he was pretty light on NATO? Absolutely. I think reports leading up to
00:09:31.660the speech, everyone expected that he was going to once again, as you said, he's done many times,
00:09:36.480go hard on NATO and talk about how they have not supported the United States, about how
00:09:40.500Starmer isn't helping, Macron isn't helping, really very little support from our European
00:09:45.420allies for this operation in Iran. But surprisingly, he did not say much about NATO at all. But he,
00:09:51.440I did see that he had a follow-up conversation with a reporter clarifying why he didn't talk
00:09:55.780about NATO. And he said that the United States doesn't need NATO, we'll be fine without it,
00:10:00.300but that, of course, he would like to see a lot more involvement.
00:10:03.500And we've, of course, heard him say many times that the United States has been there for NATO,
00:10:07.300but NATO has not been there for the United States for many years, and it's time for that to end.
00:10:14.620Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell, where do we get your reporting?
00:10:17.280The audience loves following you, love your hits here on the show.
00:10:37.140Cortez, we've got you on here for a new documentary. I've got to ask you, you were one of the leading voices of, we can't point it, that the vital national security interests of the United States, it has nothing to do with the Russian speaking border in Ukraine, but it has everything to do with the border, the southern border of the United States of America.
00:10:57.800Your assessment right now of this geostrategic situation we're in in Iran, how it plays into Ukraine, and particularly Bloomberg's out with a huge story that I promised to get you about the 2027 budget is coming forward.
00:11:14.020It looks like this budget has a has a large deficit in it.
00:11:17.440Part of that's because of increasing military spending.
00:11:21.160Your thoughts on that in the economy, sir, before we turn to your documentary.
00:11:24.100Yeah, the fiscal aspect of all this is very key, Steve, because, you know, look, we are fundamentally anti-interventionism. We believe in an America first philosophy of realism and restraint. But even if you are pro-intervention, even if you think this war is justified, if you're in that Lindsey Graham, Mike Huckabee, John Bolton world and you want ground troops and you want regime change, well, we also have to be realists about our financial ability to pay for it because we are doing this with borrowed money.
00:12:16.140That's the budget of major states for an entire year in the United States.
00:12:20.700So it's about New York State, to be specific. So this is a serious financial issue. And I think the onus is on the people who are pro-prolonged war, who are pro-intervention, whether it's in the Black Sea or the Persian Gulf. Why should we be so intricately involved across the oceans in places that I would argue are not strategically important to the United States?
00:12:41.680They're important to other people, maybe important to our allies, but not important to the United States, and that it's worth borrowing the money, and that it's worth risking a fiscal nightmare scenario.
00:12:53.080You know, right now, as we speak, 10-year yield is up to 4.3%.
00:12:56.020It's sustaining well above 4% now since the war started.
00:13:21.640So the reality is, we have to be grown-ups here.
00:13:24.260We can't do everything we want because we don't have the money.
00:13:27.300So if this is worth doing for a prolonged period of time and if this is worth boots on the ground, not only do we have to make the case, not only do the war folks, pro-war folks have to make the case why it's strategically important, but also is it worth borrowing this much money to pay for?
00:13:42.300And is it worth taking an already tough economy for regular Americans, working class people before the war, very deeply, deeply unhappy with the economy?
00:13:51.740Is it worth risking making that economy far, far worse for risking for working class Americans?
00:13:59.660Just before I'm going to hold you through the break, I want to talk about this documentary.
00:14:03.800But the bond market, though, has been orderly.
00:14:26.800But nonetheless, that doesn't mean that it's not perilous for the United States to see debt markets demanding more and more premium, meaning more and more interest from the United States this way.
00:14:36.920And by the way, it sends all the interest rates in your life higher, whether it's a credit card or a mortgage or a car loan.
00:16:08.680Text my name, Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, to the number 989898 to join Birch Gold's Learn and Earn Precious Metals event by April 30th.
00:16:18.980Text Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, to 989898 and do it today.
00:16:24.480Gerard and Gorman in this regard, she joins a long line of Americans who have been killed, ruthlessly killed by illegal aliens in totally preventable crimes.
00:16:36.300It's a tragic sorority of sorts of women who became victimized at the hands of assailants who never belonged in our country and wouldn't be here if it weren't for radical Democrats.
00:16:47.280I'm talking about people like Kate Steinle, Lakin Riley, Sandra Duran, and now Sheridan Gorman.
00:17:02.340There seems to be a disconnect in the country, Cortez.
00:17:09.800I mean, they not only support this, they push it every day.
00:17:14.380And you can see this, that we did for the entire two hours yesterday without interruption, commercial interruption or anybody coming in, because I thought it was so powerful, did the 14th Amendment.
00:17:25.200And I was shocked at the lawyer from the ACLU and also some of the judges, some of the questions.
00:17:32.280But talk to me about this new doc, because this is the thing that I think people, people with common sense and love of this country are just going to say we've had too much of this, enough of this.
00:17:43.000and we have to get so much more aggressive you know the mass deportation coalition
00:17:46.760formed about a month ago put out their action plans 100 pages folks and we're going to have
00:17:53.120people from the coalition on here to break that down for you but i believe the american people
00:17:57.980are getting more and more fed up with this particularly as you see the dangers to our
00:18:01.640economy the dangers to our community and particularly the personal safety so tell me
00:18:05.480about the doc right yeah so uh sheridan gorman 18 year old freshman loyola university in chicago
00:18:11.820She's from New York State, beautiful young American woman with her entire life ahead of her.
00:18:17.700She's very involved in her campus ministry group there at Loyola, by all indications, just a fantastic young person.
00:18:24.680She and her friends were hanging out on what is seemingly a very safe beach and pier next to Loyola University,
00:18:30.780a pier out in the Lake Michigan trying to look at the northern lights at nighttime.
00:18:34.580and Jose Medina, an illegal alien who was arrested at the border and then sent internally into this
00:18:41.160country by Joe Biden, ends up in Chicago. He commits more crimes, is arrested by the Chicago
00:18:46.060Police Department, and the cops, and I don't blame the cops, the cops in Chicago, unable to cooperate
00:18:51.000because of the Dem political leadership of that city and state, unable to cooperate, hand him over
00:18:55.880for deportation. He should have been out of this country. Steve, Jose Medina also has tuberculosis,
00:19:01.580came in with it. We are paying to treat him. We are also paying for his apartment. He has a lakefront
00:19:07.420apartment very near that beach. So this cretin that we are paying for, who doesn't belong in
00:19:12.580our country, gets his hands on a gun and totally unprovoked kills in an absolute horrific tragedy,
00:19:19.840kills Sheridan Gorman. This story has been almost completely ignored by legacy media.
00:19:25.040Even in Chicago, Steve, when I went there, I found people in Chicago didn't know the story,
00:19:29.640Or they just knew vaguely, oh, a girl was killed at Loyola.
00:19:32.380They had no idea that it was an illegal alien killer who had been picked up by the Chicago Police Department.
00:19:38.320So I think it's crucial to shine a light on this.
00:19:46.220I interviewed a longtime Chicago policeman, a fantastic guy, 32 years on the force, John Garrido, who talked about how frustrating it is for law enforcement.
00:19:55.880And if you look at that sad lineup of young American women, beautiful young American citizens killed in the prime of their life, some of them young mothers, all of them with bright futures ahead of them, this list has to stop.
00:20:09.740Sheridan Gorman has to be the last one. But she's not going to be if we don't expose what happened to her, if we don't talk about who she was, who Jose Medina is, and why he was allowed to perpetrate this heinous crime in the United States and who his collaborators were.
00:20:27.440and there's a lot of them. It's Biden, Harris, Mayorkas, Mayor Johnson, Governor Pritzker,
00:20:33.720Governor Newsom. Unfortunately, I can go on and on. And Steve, you're right. Not only are the
00:20:37.740Dems not backing down, not only are they not trying to find a more reasonable place on these
00:20:43.100issues, as a matter of fact, they're doubling down on the migrants. Governor Pritzker went so far as
00:20:48.940to try to blame this tragedy on Donald Trump. Is he now claiming that Trump's not deporting
00:20:55.020enough people? I mean, is that legitimately what he's going to try to say to us now?
00:20:58.780So we have to expose this. That's why I did this documentary. It's at cortesinvestigates.com.
00:21:04.520Cortez with an S at the end. If you go to the documentary section, this is the newest one.
00:21:08.400It's only 11 minutes long. It's free, of course, everywhere. No paywalls. Please watch it and
00:21:13.880share it because the regular media is ignoring this. And this can't be something that only
00:21:17.600right-wingers who are really politically engaged know about. We need every American to know about
00:21:21.440this. And I also want to talk to the parents out there, because I think this is critical.
00:21:26.080Parents or grandparents, when you're sending your kids or your grandkids off to school,
00:21:30.320consider where you are sending them. Do you want to send them to a so-called sanctuary city
00:21:34.940or a sanctuary state? Is it a good idea to send them to California or Illinois or New York right
00:21:40.880now, given this environment, because these kinds of tragedies keep happening? I think that needs
00:21:46.240to at least be part of your calculus in terms of where you send your children, where you send
00:21:49.860your money. But this story needs to be amplified, Steve. So that's and I thank you for doing it,
00:21:55.060of course. And I need the help. I need the help with the posse and patriotic Americans everywhere
00:21:59.260to share this story so that people know this shouldn't even be that political, Steve. I will
00:22:02.680tell you this to Rogers Park, that neighborhood is the most radical left wing neighborhood in all
00:22:07.520of Chicago. You couldn't believe how much grief I got while I was filming from the locals there
00:22:12.460telling me to get lost, giving me the finger, telling me migrants welcome, not caring that
00:22:18.460days before at that very beach, an 18-year-old American woman was killed in cold blood, more
00:22:23.520concerned with their leftist politics. So recognize that's the political opponent that we're up
00:22:28.520against here, not just at the elective level, but even at some of the activist sort of voter level
00:22:33.280as well. Real quickly, how come he's not being deported right now, even with tuberculosis? Why
00:22:40.920has DHS not just shipped this guy back to wherever he came from? Well, because we'll fully adjudicate
00:22:47.060of course i mean in terms of the murder so he'll be you know he'll be tried first uh but thankfully
00:22:51.600he is at least now in custody no no no no no no no no but but but before before that how did he
00:22:57.820have a lakefront apartment how why would he have a list to get these guys out because the chicago
00:23:04.600police department is not allowed to cooperate with federal law enforcement on immigration so
00:23:08.540even though they knew that he had a detainer they they are not allowed by the political leadership
00:23:12.940of Chicago and the state of Illinois. They are not allowed to cooperate with ICE. So he was not
00:23:18.100deported. And because it's a no-cash bail state on top of it, Steve, he's released on his own
00:23:22.980recognizance. I mean, literally just released, OK, from prison. Not only not deported, but just
00:23:27.840sent back out in the community and sent back to his apartment that an NGO, a non-governmental
00:23:32.780organization funded by the taxpayers, is paying for. You know, Steve, by the way, lakefront
00:23:38.740addresses, as you might imagine, in Chicago are very sought after. You know, you know how many
00:23:42.920folks, how many Americans who live on the west side of Chicago in some crummy apartment would
00:23:47.340love to live right near the lakefront? They're not. But Jose Medina is. And he decided to kill
00:23:52.860an American in cold blood after being arrested, not just at the border, but then being arrested
00:23:57.600again in the city of Chicago for shoplifting. Is it true that the school paper apologized for
00:24:07.240calling him an illegal migrant or illegal alien and said he was a written and said that the so
00:24:12.740the college paper of a catholic college apologized for hurting his feelings by saying that is that
00:24:17.880true that's exactly right because they called him uh an illegal migrant which of course is exactly
00:24:22.720correct that's what he is he's an illegal migrant they apologized and said that they should have
00:24:26.280called him undocumented and loyal university which was once a great catholic university once
00:24:31.900a great institution key part of the city of chicago over 150 years old magnificent piece of
00:24:36.540real estate right on the lake. It has been disgraceful through this whole episode. It's
00:24:41.000done everything it can to not even talk about this story, to not honor its student, its own
00:24:46.060student. You would think there would be such a sign, such signals from the University of Remorse.
00:24:51.140How could this happen under our care when you're supposed to be in loco parentis to some degree?
00:24:55.400You are the parent now of this young lady. You utterly failed to protect her. But they are more
00:25:01.400concerned with political narrative than they are with protecting their own students. And sadly,
00:25:06.900Loyola, like most Catholic universities in America, long ago has forsaken its mission
00:25:13.820to be an institution of true higher learning and an institution that spreads the faith and instead
00:25:19.020is committed to leftist narrative. And it's really, it's despicable. And that's why I thought
00:25:23.820it was important. To my knowledge, I haven't seen any media go on the scene and produce content
00:25:28.840there and tape there and show the pier and show some of the memorials to her. And her life deserves
00:25:34.740to be honored, Sheridan Gorman. It was too brief, of course, but it deserves to be honored. And the
00:25:40.420reason we need to expose this heinous crime is to prevent it from happening again. There should not
00:25:46.600be another family like the Gormans who has to suffer this horror of having to bury a child,
00:25:52.200the worst thing imaginable for any parent anywhere. And this was 100% preventable. This
00:25:59.040did not have to happen, and it keeps happening. That's why I wanted to put it in context,
00:26:04.300in historical context. Unfortunately, this isn't rare. It's not rare at all. And these illegals
00:26:10.040are abusing us in all kinds of ways, right? We know economically, for example, they're abusing
00:26:14.020us so much in the labor market. So the everyday abuses, those are not okay, of course. But these
00:26:19.980kinds of horrific violent abuses are the worst of all and need to be highlighted. And so I hope
00:26:26.160people will know this story. I hope they will reconsider where they send their children or
00:26:30.540grandchildren away to school. And I hope there will be increasing public pressure on local and
00:26:35.800state officials who are more interested in a narrative and protecting illegal alien criminals
00:26:41.160than they are in guarding the safety and well-being of Americans, including precious young women.

00:27:32.4602027 budget uh and what it means financially for the united states and particularly the
00:27:39.580budget projections what they say about deficits and how deficit remember the secretary treasury
00:27:44.960is one of his top priorities was to uh get from six percent of gdp right the budget deficit down
00:27:52.620to three percent we're going to talk in this budget about what kind of progress we're making
00:27:55.920what it means for you the eighth free installment is about the u.s dollar uh make sure you get it
00:28:01.340today birchgold.com promo code bannon end of the dollar empire check it out also chapter
00:28:07.520this new company about medicare if you're confused about your medicare trust me that's the way the
00:28:12.900system set up 845 war room that's 845 war room talk to one of the advisors a chapter to help
00:28:20.300them think through your medicare situation do you owe back taxes or you haven't filed your taxes in
00:28:27.060years now is the time to resolve your tax matters with the national conversation around abolishing
00:28:34.400the income tax, the IRS is fighting back and proving it's here to stay by becoming more
00:28:40.640aggressive than ever before. They're sending out more collection notices, filing more tax liens,
00:28:46.660and collecting billions more in recent years. If you owe, the IRS can garnish your wages,
00:28:54.100levy your bank accounts, seize your retirement, and even your home. If you owe or haven't filed,
00:29:00.740it's not a question of if the IRS will act.
00:36:09.480Steve, we wrote an amicus brief that we filed yesterday with the Supreme Court saying the Environmental Protection Agency is required to have a 10 times threshold for dangerous products for children because children are so much more sensitive when they're developing than adults are.
00:36:29.580And they really haven't lived by that. And so the administration, the Trump administration, has put a thumb on the scales and the solicitor general is siding with Monsanto, now owned by Bayer, to create federal preemption and to basically disallow lawsuits and state regulations of glyphosate, saying that it is a national security issue.
00:36:53.780And it's complex, Steve, as you can well appreciate. Most of the glyphosate is coming from China. We need to develop our own sources. We can't change farming overnight. But the reality is that this is a poison and we're now really abetting the use of it through this Supreme Court decision potentially or through this executive order.
00:37:15.920So many people in the Maha movement are not happy. There is going to be a demonstration when there's oral argument on this case in the Supreme Court on April 29th.
00:37:27.300So April 29th is, I'm sure you guys are going to organize something. Is there anything, before I let you go, is there anything Bobby Kennedy, is he kind of handcuffed on this? I know he's a good soldier, but this is one that's pretty controversial.
00:37:38.440Yeah, he's been very explicit. Steve, he went on Rogan and said, you know, he's not happy with this executive order to put it mildly, but he is a good soldier and this is the position of the administration. And he explained it on Rogan, and I think very effectively that it is an issue of transition of American farming.
00:37:58.620They can't get rid of glyphosate right away, and we understand that.
00:38:03.180But we actually don't think that the environment, we, Children's Health Defense, don't think that the Environmental Protection Agency has done its job on this.
00:38:10.760But if I could, Steve, I'd like to address one other issue that's controversial in the Maha world, and that's the issue of electromagnetic radiation.
00:38:19.320And on this issue, Secretary Kennedy is really moving forward to create a panel.
00:38:24.300We are going from 3G, 4G, 5G, 6G in the Wi-Fi, antenna, tower space.
00:38:32.760There is a really strong effort in existing legislation and even now by FCC regulation
00:40:21.680Mike Davis, I know you're super busy and you spent so much time with us yesterday going on.
00:40:27.800I hated to do this, but I got to get your opinion since you were one of the very first people
00:40:32.180to bring this up. The New York Times has an article today, and correct me if I'm wrong,
00:40:38.680I think they're actually saying that ActBlue and what you said, this has been a couple of years ago, I think now, about taking money from foreign donors and giving it to Democratic candidates may actually just not only be a fact, but actually ActBlue may have lied in trying to cover up.
00:40:56.080Is the New York Times actually got, it's hard for them to have a favorable article, but is this actually kind of start to reveal some truths of what you and James O'Keefe and, you know, Natalie Winters and others, Mike Benz have been arguing for a long time is just nothing but an organization that funnels foreign money into an American election, sir?
00:41:15.080Yeah, this New York Times story is pretty damning for Act Blue because it shows there's evidence, including memos between Act Blue and its attorneys at Covington and Burling, a very prestigious Democrat, you know, white shoe law firm in Washington, D.C., one of the best firms in the world.
00:41:37.560There's memos in this reporting where Covington's attorneys are advising Act Blue that there is potential criminal misconduct with how they are handling these donations into Act Blue.
00:41:55.580And there's also evidence that the leader of Act Blue provided false testimony to the House investigation of this in 2023, the House committee that handles election law.
00:42:14.020So this is very, very bad for Axe Blue, and this is going to turn into – I imagine it will turn into criminal indictments by the Justice Department by a lot of people, including potentially this former head of Axe Blue.
00:42:32.440no it's kind of a bombshell uh mike um i tell you can you hang on because i i want to get to you in
00:42:41.380the in the next block and talk about covington and burling um it's eric holder's law firm it's
00:42:48.220one of the most prestigious and powerful law firms in the nation's capital it is uh also the a lot of
00:42:55.040the muscle on back of the democratic party to know that they're involved here and warn these guys
00:42:58.680about it shows you and even for the new york times to report on it and the new york times
00:43:03.160try to tamp it down as much as possible but if you read between the lines this is about as
00:43:07.700explosive as you can get and it proves that people that pushed this and tried to expose this
00:43:13.300for years who were called conspiracy theorists and wing nuts it turns out guess what they're right
00:43:20.940and the in the very tough lawyers over at uh over at covington understood that and were warning
00:43:27.940people about this internally so we're gonna take a short commercial break by the way um birch gold
00:43:33.220a lot of turbulence in the markets i've got philip patrick up over the weekend to talk about that
00:43:37.860we're going to talk about more of the fiscal situation of the american economy today
00:43:42.340particularly where it's going and where it's going what i mean is locked in on these budgets
00:43:47.060what these deficits are we'll discuss that birchgold.com promo code bannon entered the
00:43:51.460dollar empire the eighth free installment specifically dealing with the united states
00:43:55.220dollar and the pressure on it from all over, not just bricks, but also from this massive
00:50:35.700I hope that Harmeet Dillon opens up a federal civil rights criminal investigation on this judge, Matthew Barrett, because he's a garbage human being.
00:50:47.900Mike, where do people go for your social media and Article 3 to find out more about this?
00:50:52.920You've been on this case from the beginning about Tina Peters, as many other people have.
00:51:04.420One of the action items, go to take action, and it's to light up the Colorado people, light up Governor Jared Polis, and help him find and keep his backbone and keep the pressure on these judges like garbage judge Matthew Barrett and get Tina Peters out of prison immediately.
00:51:23.600She is a persecuted political prisoner.
00:51:32.700Mike Lindell, give me a minute on Tina Peters, what's happening.
00:51:37.340And then I want to talk about the deals, sir, as we move into Easter.
00:51:42.080Yeah, it's a shame she's not out yet, but the biggest political prisoner.
00:51:45.620And by the way, this goes back to Arctic Frost, too, by our own government attacking the people in Colorado, including Tina.
00:51:52.920And so as we pray for her to get out of prison, I think everybody, let's just pray, pray, pray.
00:51:59.880And everybody's trying everything they can.
00:52:01.840But right now, my pillow, you guys, we're in our new factory, and we have been attacked by Arctic Frost more than any other company in history.
