00:04:03.680I mean, what do you think about that part of his tweet this morning?
0.98
00:04:09.820One thing I think is I believe you're hearing about the Pakistanis.
00:04:13.820And I've been saying until President Trump's in a room or his team's in a room looking across the table at the guys that not only can sit there and say we can do a deal, but actually can execute on that deal.
00:04:27.500Now, my understanding is there are other sources other than the Pakistanis, and he's very close to this army chief of staff.
00:04:36.880He's a very good field marshal. I think it's Munry. He's very close to he respects that guy.
00:04:42.360So they're dealing with that. I think there's some other elements that may come in play also.
00:04:46.760But I don't think Persian civilization ends tonight.
0.83
00:04:50.320But I think that when we hit the witching hour, I do believe, at least in the looks right now, that something may be done, at least on a preliminary basis, to kind of get their attention.
0.99
00:05:00.360When a revolution, I agree with you, all day long, I've got the wildest people blowing me up, coming to me, oh, he's getting ready to use a tactical nuclear weapon.
00:05:10.380You know, it's a lot of crazy talk out there.
00:05:12.740As people, I think, try to get worked up about trying to oppose President Trump.
00:05:17.280There's also a very disturbing, which I'll deal with later, very disturbing story in the New York Times from Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan that really has, let's say this, way too many details about the Situation Room and some of the most important meetings that led up to this.
00:05:32.860And I think that's something that's got to be dealt with and will be dealt with with Damon.
00:05:38.540I mean, a lot of the same people who tell you that, Steve, also told you this past weekend that he was at Walter Reed and he was on the precipice of death again, too.
00:05:45.940So, listen, I mean, I think we've grown so used to past administrations, you know, with their terrorist pandering that we've seen that it's maybe we missed the what we don't recognize what actual resolve looks like here.
00:06:00.720I think that's what we have with President Trump.
00:06:04.180You can argue whether this, you know, claim you want a thousand and really be willing to settle for 200 is a great strategy on a night like tonight because it does back himself into a corner.
00:06:13.780If he does nothing, it's, you know, taco Tuesday memes all day.
00:06:17.180If he sends them back to the Stone Age, he's an unhinged lunatic.
00:06:21.180But maybe in the meantime, everybody's TDS is revealing things as a strategic advantage that they're looking for.
00:06:28.320You know, he's keeping them off balance.
00:06:29.880Maybe they're forcing him to move military assets, other assets into panic.
00:06:41.040Maybe if there are strikes, we find out that they had some information and all of this was to get them to move things around to find out where there was maybe still building missiles and under the guise of, you know, under the guise of, you know, the people and the citizens.
00:06:59.240And maybe they're looking for something else. But to your point on the on the Pakistani thing, and I don't know that this is the off ramp as possible.
00:07:07.460But what if it's what if that is packaged somehow? And President Trump says we get this straight opened with some kind of agreement there.
00:07:15.100If those two things are packaged together, is that something that we could look for as an off ramp tonight?
00:07:19.140Look, I think if they got—and some of the disturbing things about the New York Times story is that the Israelis and others kind of dismissed the ability of these pirates, Bedouins—I don't think it's a Revolutionary Guard—to shut down the Strait or Hormuz and monetize it, essentially monetize the toll booth.
00:07:39.460Anything with the Strait or Hormuz I think will get its attention.
00:07:41.700My understanding is that that is right now one of the things they're not even dealing with because they can't get, like I said, it's one thing to say, hey, I know a guy and we can make a deal.
00:07:51.960It's another thing to actually have somebody that can make that deal.
00:07:54.840I think President Trump's going to be very tough about that.
00:07:58.460Because as you know, Damon, there's nobody in that region you can trust.
00:08:02.640They're all double dealing us every second of every day.
00:08:06.200So, I mean, the United States has to kind of think this through for themselves.
00:08:08.980I think that's what President Trump's doing.
00:08:10.380I do. There's all this crazy talk about tactical nukes and, you know, he's going crazy and he's looking to to bomb him into the Stone Age tonight.
00:08:19.160I do think I look into his alternatives. Right. One of these alternative, one of the alternatives are, I think, other people trying to insert themselves in some sort of dialogue that would lead to something that could be meaningful.
00:08:31.680And I'm sure President Trump's going to listen to those guys. But like you said, we're just a couple of hours away from your show and from this event tonight.
00:08:40.060And I think it's right now, I think it's all systems go.
00:08:43.660I mean, Steve, let's remember also, this is a president who we've seen sit in the in the in the press briefings and in the in the White House and answer when press ask him questions.
00:08:53.960He says, why would I answer that to you? Why would I tell you any of these questions?
00:08:57.280And he's got everybody looking at every bridge and every power plant tonight.
00:09:01.600When's the last time he actually told us something he actually was going to do?
00:09:04.520So, I mean, in the end, nobody knows what's going to happen tonight.
00:09:07.320the the old misdirection play uh damon how do people get your show social media all of it
00:09:13.760a big night tonight on real america's voice uh the channel will be live we'll get some of our
00:09:18.520best and brightest going to pour in and help everybody out starting the eight o'clock hour
00:09:22.500i think john solomon is going to be around poso everybody where uh where do people go for your
00:09:27.140show where they go for your social media yeah obviously eight to ten monday through friday
00:09:31.380but tonight's special coverage starting at eight with the a team like you said john solomon a great
00:09:35.440group tonight. It's going to be on 8 to 9, at least
00:09:37.5208 to 9, maybe even longer, seeing what happens.
00:10:31.720taking down some military targets on Karg Island. I think we're doing some other preliminary
00:10:37.900activities, some more preliminary activity. What do you hear?
00:10:44.860Yeah, I do want to mention, too, that the so-called Pentagon Pizza Index is up 177 percent today,
00:10:52.420Steve, and that's these people track the amount of pizzas that are ordered by the Pentagon.
00:10:57.240on. And so we are seeing a surge. And that usually means that something's up and people are working
00:11:02.300long hours. I think that what you're going to see is the Israelis are going to take out some targets
00:11:07.180during the day, maybe to sort of do to prepare the battlefield. And then everybody's waiting
00:11:12.320for the big hammer at eight o'clock, Steve. Just to put people in the room there, it's been
00:11:21.760unusually quiet and calm there today at the White House. There's always a leading indicator
00:11:27.100that something's up? Yeah, well, you know, Steve, that all the time you have senior
00:11:33.420administration officials or cabinet officers who are flowing in and out of meetings. They're
00:11:38.460swinging by Pebble Beach to do their own hits on different news channels and networks. And then
00:11:44.880they'll come over and do gaggles here in the driveway, like the microphones that are set up
00:11:49.640sort of behind me. I don't know if it's in the shot, but there have been no gaggles today.
00:11:53.240There's been nobody floating around. It's been really subdued. And of course, you know, there's hundreds of young people who work here at the White House and they're always sort of traipsing around at different groups, floating to different places.
00:12:06.260You're seeing none of that today. And as I said to you this morning, we didn't see the Marine Guard out in front of the West Wing where he's behind me until about 1130.
00:12:16.660So he's when the president is in the Oval, that guard is outside.
00:12:22.240And so imagine I imagine that the president was in the situation room or somewhere else.
00:12:27.260He wasn't in the Oval until about 1130 this morning.
00:12:32.140Neil McCabe, you're going to stick around for a while.
00:12:35.580Give us your social media in the interim, sir.
00:12:40.280You can find me on all the socials at Reporter McCabe, Steve.
00:12:43.540thank you sir i appreciate you if my crack a team can pull the uh the the tweet i saw up
00:12:53.900where the where the iranians this is in response to uh the pakistanis and others saying there may
00:13:01.680be a two-week extension that these guys are in discussions i think they gave this to the wall
00:13:06.880street journal that in fact they are they are fully equipped with missiles they're fully equipped
00:13:12.400with drones they've been producing these things forever and they've got them in these caves and
00:13:16.800you have no worthy idea what we've got and we're not interested in talking and not going to talk
00:13:20.840at least in some of the regime because remember it's been shattered in its kind of concentrated
00:13:26.780central command both militarily and uh through the the mula network uh to the ayatollah so it's uh
00:13:35.040it's uh decentralized let's call it maybe not by choice uh you have to figure out what factions
00:13:41.480really in charge, what faction can really speak for the nation and which faction can actually
00:13:47.160deliver on a deal. I think it's one of the most difficult things that President Trump and his
00:13:52.400team have going on. As I said the other day, President Trump, if it's still to intermediaries
00:13:58.420and, hey, I know a guy and we'll pass him a note, he'll do that for a while. But after a while,
00:14:03.660he just say, no games. We got to try something else. He's warned these guys. Remember yesterday,
00:14:09.160he was very specific. They asked for seven days. I gave them seven. I added another three to kind
00:14:15.480of get through the Easter holiday. And then I added another day. So I didn't have to do this
00:14:20.260with the Easter bunny out there and the kids rolling eggs on Easter Monday. I didn't think
00:14:24.840it was appropriate. I gave him one more day. That's 11 days. He seemed when he said that,
00:14:29.480that that was enough. Okay. We're going to take a short commercial break. We're going to come back
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.
00:16:24.480The millions haven't offered any indication of any potential breakthroughs that may be laying ahead.
00:16:30.100The question now is whether there's a connection to those Karg Island strikes that we saw and President Trump's threats.
00:16:36.180There's long been discussion of potential U.S. forces going on the ground and capturing Karg Island.
00:16:41.300That could be potentially an option on the table.
00:16:43.840But regardless, all of the people in this region right now are certainly on edge awaiting this real possibility for significant escalation in this region.
00:16:53.300Administration officials are still hoping that continued negotiations through intermediaries between the United States and Tehran will be effective and that hopefully a diplomatic solution could be found to, one, either delay this escalation of military attacks that the president has been threatening.
00:17:12.700Of course, we saw that aggressive post this morning where he warned that a whole civilization will die tonight.
00:17:19.660Or they say at a minimum, try to see, you know, perhaps some minimized attacks or reduce the severity of the attacks that the president has been warning against.
00:17:29.880Now, I will say the statics of negotiations between the United States and Iran, whether indirect or direct, is very much unclear.
00:17:37.340when, you know, we've seen that the Wall Street Journal reported that Iran had cut off direct
00:17:42.120diplomacy. We saw the New York Times report that even indirect talks are no longer happening.
00:17:47.820Tehran has denied both of those reports. And I will say that the United States, at least U.S.
00:17:52.160sources here have said that they are still eager, the Trump administration, to find some sort of
00:17:58.560diplomatic off ramp here. So we really are waiting to see exactly whether something like that could
00:18:03.580actually materialize by the 8 p.m. deadline that the president had set for Iran to reopen the
00:18:10.100Strait of Hormuz. Our colleague David Rode has also been hearing from some diplomats inside the
00:18:16.220Gulf who said that the chances of a deal for a ceasefire are incredibly low. But then let's look
00:18:22.900at what's happening inside Iran and this region tonight. Well, this is a region on tenterhooks.
00:18:28.180It's on the complete edge because over the next few hours, well, that's when the fate will be decided, what the president decides to do, whether he decides to obliterate these power plants and bridges inside Iran would obviously impact millions and millions of people inside that country.
00:18:45.220And then you've got Iranians, everyday Iranians now being told to go out and essentially be part of a human shield in front of some of these power plants and bridges.
00:18:54.460We've seen some images released by Iranian state TV of everyday men, women, children as well going and standing in front of these facilities to try and prevent from the U.S. and Israel targeting them.
00:19:08.100Tonight as well, Antonio, in the last hour or so, the IRGC Missile Command has said this.
00:19:13.620They said we will strike infrastructure in a manner that will deprive the United States and regional countries of oil and gas resources for years to come.
00:19:22.620Orders have been transmitted to local missile bases and operations will begin immediately.
00:19:29.700Already this evening, I've heard a roaring of fighter jets above me here in the UAE,
00:19:34.760suggesting that maybe there is some military repositioning going on to await any Iranian retaliation of some U.S. and Israeli strikes.
00:19:43.600Because we know full well that this isn't just inside Iran where they'll feel any impacts.
00:19:48.980It will be the wider region because Iran will strike the likes of the energy facilities in the Gulf, which, again, they have also been doing today, hitting a petrochemical site in Saudi Arabia, hitting sites in Bahrain and Kuwait, Qatar and here in the UAE as well.
00:20:04.700So I think this whole region will be on high alert tonight. We're hearing from some U.S. embassies as well in the region evacuating their staff.
00:20:13.500And of course, the U.S. military bases out here as well will be thinking about what is to come.
00:20:19.680The president is still very much committed to following through on those threats, all to say it is still very much clear at this point in time what exactly the president is going to decide and whether or not negotiations could actually lead to a substantial enough compromise to stave off the attacks that he has been warning about.
00:20:38.300I do want to read for you what we heard, though, from the White House Press Secretary, Caroline Levitt, trying to just sum all of this up.
00:20:44.240She told me, quote, the Iranian regime has until 8 p.m. Eastern time to meet the moment and make a deal with the United States.
00:20:50.960Only the president knows where things stand and what he will do.
00:20:55.400So, of course, we're still standing by to learn any more we can about whether this is moving ahead full force.
00:21:00.760It really doesn't matter as far as getting him to stop or reining him in unless elected Republicans are the ones who come out and say enough is enough.
00:21:09.940Where is the courage? Where is the character? Where is the outrage? Where are they?
00:21:16.860They're the ones that can make the difference here.
00:21:19.000The influencers, OK, that's fine. That's the base.
00:21:21.500Those are people who have begun to realize that Donald Trump is a lame duck president.
00:21:26.080They've begun to see his mental decline and the fact that he's emotionally unstable.
00:21:30.340It's no longer politically viable for them.
00:21:32.880But where are the elected Republicans who are in a position to tell him, Mr. President, this is completely unacceptable.
00:21:39.440This is un-American. What are we doing here?
00:21:42.440You are unfit to be president of the United States.
00:21:45.580That they should have done that a long time ago.
00:21:47.900But now we're having worldly, deadly potential consequences here for this man, letting his retribution tour go beyond anything most people could have imagined.
00:22:23.720How many more weeks is this going to last?
00:22:25.280I met with a senior intelligence official yesterday, and I proposed the following scenario.
00:22:31.080Let's say we meet the three military objectives that General Cain laid out.
00:22:35.620Destroy the missile program, which hasn't been completely destroyed, as we were led to believe.
00:22:40.360Eliminate the entirety of the nuclear program. Also a bit of a heavy lift at this point.
00:22:44.700And, you know, keep the Navy out, destroyed, whatever. What then? What is the political end game here?
00:22:51.460The scenario that I laid out, which was confirmed to me is most likely is the Israelis are going to go back in periodically every few months and mow the lawn, as they put it.
0.90
00:23:01.360Meaning they're going to have to continue to destroy whatever the Iranians rebuild, because right now you have a wounded tiger and a wounded tiger getting back up on all fours.
0.94
00:23:08.580you know, is going to lash out. And now the United States is party to this, right? We are
0.99
00:23:12.880going to help the Israelis continue to do this. And whether it's Donald Trump in the White House
0.85
00:23:16.700or the next administration, ensuring that Iran does not have the ability to retaliate or to
00:23:21.880take this war back at us is going to be a matter of national security priority. So we're kind of
00:23:27.660locked in here. And the Israelis might have thought this was going to be a quick and easy thing, but
00:23:31.860they have now basically got the United States involved in this thing in perpetuity.
00:23:36.080China dominates renewable energy supply chains, producing a vast majority of the world's solar panels, wind turbines, batteries and electric vehicles.
00:23:45.740Experts of these technologies were already climbing to new heights in the first two months of 2026.
00:23:51.440Now volatility in the supply of fossil fuels is set to give sales another big boost.
00:23:56.520This is all as the U.S. under the Trump administration is not engaging in the renewable energy market.
00:24:02.520So how does this war realign the global views around energy?
00:24:09.300China is definitely positioned as a winner here, not just because they think so far ahead with 5- and 10-year, 15-year plans,
00:24:15.700but because they have such a robust electric vehicles market.
00:24:19.400They have renewables across the board that allows them to diversify.
00:24:23.540But even more than that, they've negotiated directly with Iran to allow for their ships
00:24:28.600and their goods to come through the Strait of Hormuz while the rest of us are shut out.
00:24:32.740And that is the situation that gives China potentially real sway in having a conversation
00:24:38.500about when and if the U.S. and Iran ever reach a ceasefire.
00:24:42.560China's probably going to be a prominent player there.
00:24:44.840And then you think that President Trump is going to meet with President Xi in May
00:24:48.400to continue what he started in 2025, which is a massive trade war.
00:24:53.440And we're having a situation where China is on the ascent
00:24:56.700and becoming a much more dominant global player while the United States continues to struggle
00:25:01.980with its NATO allies and EU allies, Japan, South Korea, being pressed to look away from the United
00:25:08.540States and towards China. Mowing the lawn in Iran for the Israelis is a much more complex
00:25:13.860endeavor than what they were able to do in Syria and Lebanon over the past several decades. This
00:25:18.260is a much farther distance they're going to have to retravel. They're going to need refueling
00:25:21.680rights. They're going to need bases. Perhaps the Gulf Arab states will help them in some way
0.99
00:25:26.520because they're now quite incensed at how Iran has retaliated against civilian infrastructure
00:25:30.600in the UAE and Saudi Arabia. But I don't see this being wrapped up so quickly.
00:25:35.460You know, Donald Trump is very fond of doing his own mission accomplished pageantry.
00:25:39.900Oh, the war's already won, he says. We don't need allies to help us open the Strait Department.
00:25:44.240He brought up the example of Venezuela again yesterday.
00:25:45.940Exactly, right. The war is won, but we're going to annihilate an entire civilization,
0.99
00:25:49.180possibly at 8 o'clock tonight. No, this is going to carry on for years to come,
00:25:54.520in some form or another. And this is going to become, as I say, an intelligence priority for
00:25:58.800the United States indefinitely. It already has been, but now it's going to be even more so.
00:26:03.000I mean, it pains me as an American to say this, but we are clearly in madman territory. And that's
00:26:09.020why you see everyone speaking out from Marjorie Taylor Greene to Alex Jones, because it is
00:26:15.240undeniable at this point. And when you think about it, our best case scenario right now is that our
00:26:23.620president is a belligerent liar who threatens genocide and war crimes to get his way i mean
00:26:29.940that is the most optimistic reading of the situation and that's why you know on the other
00:26:35.420hand i am heartened that people are speaking out to be clear you know i do want to put alex jones
00:26:40.820in an entirely different category because he isn't reliable on things but i do think
00:26:44.640it helps tremendously that people like major general manner on this program are speaking out
00:26:50.260Members of the military who have the credibility, who have been in these situations where they have to evaluate what they are truly being asked to do and what their obligation is as Americans upholding the Constitution.
00:27:01.940I mean, this is extraordinarily difficult for people who are in the military right now to try to, you know, maneuver in some way to stop terrible damage from being done.
00:27:14.300And so, you know, I think it's just really important to remember that even though we have an out-of-control autocrat in the White House, we all have agency.
00:27:26.420And I do think it helps tremendously, again, that former members of the military are speaking about this because it was not that long ago that Trump was threatening Democratic senators with military experience for talking about why troops may need to resist illegal orders.
00:27:42.700we are in that scenario today and a lot of people thought they're hysterical couldn't believe
00:27:47.520they were issuing those warnings at the time well it's a good thing that they did perhaps
00:27:53.400some people needed to hear it okay we're gonna go to a short commercial break boy was that a
00:28:00.020meltdown at the end keep keep you cool ma'am we're gonna get through this here in real america's
00:28:08.080voice we're gonna take a short commercial break you're gonna be back in the war room
00:30:05.160I'm just saying that the markets are, particularly the oil markets, a lot calmer than one would believe in the equity markets around the world and the bond markets around the world.
00:30:13.240People are reading that as that the markets think it's Taco Tuesday.
00:30:19.620But right now, they're not very volatile or as volatile as you would be given the stakes involved here, particularly the rhetoric around the stakes.
00:30:29.080um we believe that an informed investor is the best investor that an informed consumer and every
00:30:36.640time we cut a deal with a sponsor it is to make sure that you get access to senior management

00:30:57.840Birch Gold, it was a number of years ago
00:34:42.540Iran has threatened to retaliate with large-scale strikes on Gulf countries and Israeli power
00:34:48.660and energy infrastructure, according to mediators in Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard.
00:34:56.120Now, also, Fox News got a bit of a scoop. Can we go and play that clip? And then I will pull this article up and read from it.
00:35:02.820Let's go and play the clip about President Trump and what he was referring to as heated negotiations.
00:35:09.440With that deadline just four hours away. And he said, I really can't tell you how we're feeling right now because we're in the middle of heated negotiations.
00:35:17.000I said, so the conversation is happening that he said, yes, of course. Why wouldn't they be talking given the circumstances?
00:35:23.240basically. I asked him his view on this request from Pakistan's prime minister for a two-week
00:35:28.420deadline. He said that he was about to be fully briefed on it in about five minutes and said,
00:35:33.960I can tell you this, that this man, the prime minister, I know him very well. He's a highly
00:35:39.340respected man all over. This is what the prime minister had asked in that post that you referenced
00:35:45.200earlier. Diplomatic efforts for a peaceful settlement of the ongoing war in the Middle
00:35:48.940East are progressing steadily, strongly and powerfully with the potential to lead to
00:35:53.140substantive results in the near future. To allow diplomacy to run its course, I earnestly request
00:35:57.800President Trump to extend the deadline for two weeks. Pakistan, in all sincerity, requests the
00:36:02.140Iranian brothers to open the Strait of Hormuz for a corresponding period of time as a goodwill
00:36:07.000gesture. Now, as Caroline Levitt said, the president has been made aware of this and the White House
00:36:12.500will be sending its response. But of course, the deadline just a few hours away. We are also aware
00:36:17.780OF A CALL HE HAD WITH ANOTHER OUTLET WHERE HE COMMENTED ON WHAT IRAN HAS BEEN DOING IN THE INTERIM.
00:36:26.580SO RIGHT THERE YOU SAID PRESIDENT TRUMP SAID THEY'RE ENGAGED HEATED NEGOTIATIONS,
0.78
00:36:30.500THE PAKISTANIS SAYING, HEY, WE NEED TWO WEEKS, LET'S HAVE A TWO-WEEK PAUSE,
1.00
00:36:35.220AND THREW IN, I THINK I CAN GET THE IRANIANS TO STAND DOWN AND MAYBE OPEN UP THE STRAIGHT OR
1.00
00:36:39.860HER MOVES FOR THAT TIME PERIOD. ANYWAY, A LOT OF BACK AND FORTH, AS YOU CAN TELL,
0.95
00:36:45.540and a lot of different chefs in the kitchen now.
00:36:47.800We understand that there are other intermediaries and mediators
00:36:51.480who are claiming to have better relationships
00:36:53.840with who's really making decisions in Iran,
00:36:57.340and that is all people are in active discussions about that.
00:37:01.040So, look, there's an 8 o'clock deadline.
00:37:35.260He gave a – he's the acting attorney general, pretty aggressive coming out with a press conference right out of the box.
00:37:42.820and they're very focused on I guess I would call it the Somalian problem in Minnesota as a national
00:37:49.120effort of which they're really committing they're really committing to get behind this and to hold
00:37:54.620people accountable and also get our money back but most importantly stop this uh spending on
00:38:00.820these social programs that turn out are just completely rip-offs and the money's going to
00:38:05.260the worst people in the country that are funneling a lot of it back into anti-Trump and anti-DHS and
00:38:12.460anti-ice demonstrations. Neil McCabe. Yeah, Steve, Todd Blanche came out just spitting fire.
00:38:21.780You know, when you're talking about those social welfare scams, he called the hospice care scams
00:38:27.420the purest form of stealing. And he spoke with great detail about it. And he said that this new
00:38:33.720National Fraud Enforcement Division is going to be prosecutor led by Colin McDonald,
00:38:39.940the new assistant attorney general, who's leading that division. But the idea that it's
00:38:45.000prosecutor led, they're basically going to be doing the job that the local federal prosecutors
00:38:49.720won't do, especially in those blue states, Steve. And he was, as you said, very competitive. He
00:38:55.540called out the reporters because he told the reporters for four years during Biden's DOJ,
00:39:01.060they sat and watched as that DOJ was weaponized against regular Americans. He called out as a
00:39:07.560myth, probably the biggest myth, he said, that the DOJ is somehow independent from the president
00:39:12.380of the United States. The idea that past presidents have had nothing to do with the running of the
00:39:17.120Justice Department, he said, was garbage. It was a very strong, strong performance by Blanche, Steve.
00:39:27.600Make sure we don't bury the lead here, Neil. Something you know, having worked over at Justice
00:39:31.660with Ed Martin, is that one of the problems here, we just don't have enough manpower, and particularly
00:39:37.100like in Minnesota. I think there were a dozen prosecutors that quit when Pam Bondi and Bovino
00:39:44.840and others were trying to bring charges. And the word came back and says, look, with jury
00:39:49.180nullification, how radical the people are up there and the woke nature of not just the local
00:39:55.400government, but even the federal officials are there. It's almost impossible to bring charges
00:40:00.480against these people. You've seen it firsthand all over the country. Is this one of the biggest
00:40:05.020things that Todd Blanche and President Trump are up against. In fact, that you've got you know,
00:40:11.060you have 92 U.S. attorneys offices. I think we've only got 14 or 15 of our own people running 14 or
00:40:18.94015 of the offices because of the blue slip situation and just lack of manpower. Tell the
00:40:23.860audience how big a deal is this and really getting and really getting to the bottom of it and perp
1.00
00:40:28.180walking like these Somalians. Yeah, I want to be very direct about this. The real problem
1.00
00:40:34.720at DOJ is that the maneuver element of the Justice Department are those local federal
00:40:41.700prosecutors. And Senate Republicans have given Democrats a veto. They're able to block those
00:40:48.780MAGA prosecutors that we want put in. And so, like you said, you have like the Rosen in Minnesota.
00:40:55.000He was approved by the Democrats. What's he going to do? You also have about 15 U.S. attorneys
00:41:00.080who have been appointed by the, you know, the left wing federal judges and DOJ has said,
00:41:05.480all right, we're just going to accept that. We can't fight it right now. And so what's happening,
00:41:10.420the reason for this department is because the local federal prosecutors are not taking action.
00:41:16.280And that's why everything's been brought into Washington and the creation of this department.
00:41:20.760You know, Blanche addressed the fact of manpower, but he says, hey, we're doing plenty of prosecutions.
00:41:25.960We're doing more prosecutions here than Biden was doing. And he's pulling people from details.
00:41:31.940He's going to be pulling people from other departments. And, you know, I can't believe that there's a shortage of lawyers who don't want to work for the Justice Department.
00:41:40.640And so I think you're going to see some action, especially as they staff up this new department, Steve, new division, rather.
00:41:47.480excuse me um neil at the uh the morale over there because it's been under siege you're doing you
00:41:55.060know they've they've fought at the uh federal uh you know the the federal judiciary level the first
00:42:00.040level with these judges because they try to stop or get stays on everything president trump tried
00:42:05.840to do what do you think needs to happen to kind of get morale back up is it bringing in more people
00:42:10.940is it changing out some of the people are there give me a minute on that before you i know you
00:42:14.620get a bounce? So JMD, the Justice Management Division, is run by a Biden holdover. Her name
00:42:23.680is Jolene Loria. And so it's been my experience when I was at the pardon office that, you know,
00:42:32.800that just that you have these career people who are in charge of vetting all the applicants,
00:42:37.540and that's putting sand in the gears. So obviously that has to be affected. But I think
00:42:42.880Blanche is now taking the reins and he's going to get stuff done. I think that this division is
00:42:48.760going to take on a lot of the stuff that just was ignored or basically dismissed by these local
00:42:55.180prosecutors. But again, I can't believe when people say that, you know, people don't want to
00:43:00.240work for the Justice Department. It just doesn't make sense. There are plenty, plenty of people
00:43:05.480who want to work for the Justice Department. I also want to point out, Steve, in the minute I
00:43:10.200have left that the marine guard has now left outside so the president is no longer in the oval
00:43:15.220wow um right now give the uh real quickly we got 20 seconds where do people get you on social media

00:46:13.820um frank gaffney joins us from texas frank you just left the hearing that we've been so focused
00:46:21.640on the last week or so to give us your perspective how to go sir it was amazing steve uh the fruits
00:46:30.640of the efforts of the posse were much in evidence and i apologize i'm bouncing around in an uber at
00:46:38.320the moment, but the up-to-the-minute report is there was a very substantial turnout of freedom-loving
00:46:47.320Americans. It didn't turn out to be what it was in the past few runnings of this exercise,
00:46:53.680where they had overwhelmingly jihadists in the room. They had Christians, they had patriots,
00:47:03.260They had people who love our constitutional republic and are committed to it that came together and just beat the hell out of a fellow by the name of Will Hickman, who is a Republican who has taken the position in the State Board of Education of championing the CARE curriculum, as I call it.
00:47:27.760it's in fairness something that the left is implicated in it's a it's a red green access
00:47:34.340operation but it's primarily driven by the designated terrorist organization in the state
00:47:42.820of texas known as the council on american islamic relations so i call it the care curriculum and
00:47:49.280what went on steve is people made it absolutely clear that's not the curriculum they want their
00:47:56.680children and by the way it's as we've talked about on the show a lot it's not just their children
00:48:03.480it's the children across a country from k through 12 we're talking about their social studies
00:48:10.800curriculum um it will be largely driven in many school systems across our nation by whatever
00:48:19.980the texas folks approve of so this has a generational impact i think it was brandon
00:48:26.160hall one of the members of the state board of education in texas who said on your show that
00:48:32.220you know they don't do these things every couple of days this is a 10-year proposition so we're
00:48:38.660talking about inculcating or indoctrinating in kids across america what the council on american
00:48:45.840islamic relations wants them to know about our history or a fictitious history like all about
00:48:53.440wonderful contributions as long made to the founding of this republic and other nonsense
1.00
00:48:58.520unfortunately if it were just nonsense it wouldn't be so bad it's it's mendacious and it is
00:49:05.660misleading and it is divisive and it is subversive of our freedoms because that generation of
00:49:13.560americans is going to be brought up thinking that you know this is a horrible country um it's been
00:49:19.540terrible to lots of people and we shouldn't defend it and that's got national security implications
00:49:24.120i'm gonna hold you over to six brian kennedy's going to join us at a claremont real quickly
00:49:31.220what did pam little what does she tell what she tell you about the posse well pam little of course
00:49:38.440was the deciding vote we think um on whether the care curriculum would be adopted or a pro-american
00:49:45.940curriculum which was what the school the state board of education approved
00:49:51.700immediately after i testified i said more or less what i've just said to you you know are you going
00:50:02.020to choose to support freedom uh and equip our kids to do what ronald reagan always said which is to
00:50:09.780prepare to defeat existential threats to freedom or are you going to compound the problem by
00:50:16.980discouraging them from doing all of that she came up to me afterwards and she was visibly agitated
00:50:22.040and she basically gave me a hard time about the fact that i hadn't spoken to her about
00:50:26.820you know what her position was going to be and so on and and she's taken a lot of incomings it was
00:50:32.640pretty clear to me that was that was in fact from the posse uh but she basically said look
00:50:40.560you need to let people know that i am not going to support a care curriculum i am not going to
00:50:47.480support will hickman's amendments and i think she has indicated very strongly that that's because
00:50:54.960she came under enormous pressure from our team and praise god for helping her that happen and
00:51:01.000So you're playing a rather substantial role in it too, Steve.
