00:03:09.200 this nightmare that Medicare is.
00:03:10.800 So go check it out today.
00:03:12.760 We talked about access to senior leadership.
00:03:16.400 Last night, Jenny's story.
00:03:17.900 Today, Glenn, and Glenn, I want to thank you.
00:03:19.940 Your leadership at Patriot Mobile, the endorsement because of the power
00:03:25.260 the grassroots and what you and the team did and the great folks down in texas um you know beginning
00:03:31.580 back at ken paxton on a total grassroots server ken paxton had no money he had this has never
00:03:37.500 happened in american history the history of this republic to have 150 million dollars spent to
00:03:45.660 destroy a man to destroy him in the grassroots came together down there through jenny's leadership
00:03:52.540 your leadership and so many other grassroots leaders reason we did the show for i don't know
00:03:56.760 two months down there at the patriot most of the time at the patriot mobile uh studios right there
00:04:02.840 uh to galvanize people around proposition 10 the the proposition around prohibiting sharia law
00:04:08.260 but also to show the grassroots that they had the ultimate power in texas when they worked together
00:04:13.000 and it came out magnificently it was not lost in the president united states but glenn you've got
00:04:17.540 to just show people for a second with that 150 million dollars when i say politics of personal
00:04:22.360 destruction, and all they're saying now, oh, it's going to take $300 million. One of the reasons
00:04:26.580 it may take a little money here is the $150 million the Senate Leadership Fund and others
00:04:34.100 gave to Las Vidas, not on a policy discussion, but literally on the politics of personal
00:04:40.300 destruction, what the left does all the time to President Trump and the MAGA candidates.
00:04:44.780 Talk to us about that, sir. Yeah, you know, it's this kind of garbage. And thank you for having 1.00
00:04:49.400 me on. I always love joining you on The War Room. I love The War Room Posse. You guys are what really
00:04:55.380 helps us solve these problems here in Texas. But, you know, I just want to give you an example of
00:05:00.380 what they send out. And this is purely, purely nonsense. It's garbage. Ken Paxton has too many
00:05:08.380 scandals. Well, those scandals were brought up by the very people sending this. The Pelosi's of the
00:05:13.260 world, the Karl Rove's, they hate him. And here's another one. It's time to pick a side. Look at the
00:05:19.280 picture. You want to talk about scandals. Tallarico is on here. What is he? He is a,
00:05:27.660 quote, minister that said God is non-gender, binary, whatever. All this garbage, it's not 0.99
00:05:34.400 scriptural. They've been after Ken Paxton for years, and the reality of it is the grassroots 0.98
00:05:39.180 here loves him. $150 million to maybe $5 million, and he's still going to win. What does that tell
00:05:46.280 you, he's the real candidate. I know him. I know him well. I've golfed with him. I went to Charlie's
00:05:52.420 celebration with him. And I'll tell you this, he's not perfect. Nobody is. There's only one
00:05:59.000 person in this world that has been perfect. But at the end of the day, he loves this country so
00:06:04.380 much. Think about it. I know him. He's a fighter. He wants to win. You know, he said, I'll exit this
00:06:11.180 race, if you, Cornyn, will abolish the filibuster and get the SAVE Act passed. He meant it. He was
00:06:21.780 going to do it. But you know, the reality of it is the swamp, the cesspool, it's not even a swamp.
00:06:27.320 The swamp is a living group of creatures where this is a cesspool that's out there. They hate
00:06:33.480 our country in a way they want to fund causes and candidates that are contrary to the Constitution.
00:06:41.180 I want to ask you is, you know, the companies in Texas, you guys are Texans.
00:06:45.980 If you call 972-PATRIOT to talk about the service and talk about switching, you get somebody with an East Texas accent.
00:06:52.220 What I think is most powerful is we've covered Paxton.
00:06:55.720 He's got this schtick at the beginning.
00:06:57.780 He just says to the audience, you know, Cornyn's been there 24 years.
00:07:02.520 Can anybody name anything that he's done positively?
00:07:06.560 Can you name something he's worked on or come back and pitch to the people of Texas to get him back of, to make phone calls, do whatever?
00:07:12.640 Just give me his biggest accomplishment.
00:07:15.220 He never gets any response.
00:07:19.260 There's a great deal of silence here for a reason.
00:07:22.020 Yeah, you know what?
00:07:22.600 He signed bills.
00:07:23.580 Of course he's voted for.
00:07:24.980 What did he legislate?
00:07:26.580 Look, here's what I really have to say.
00:07:29.260 Think about, I said this the other day.
00:07:31.440 I introduced Ken at one of the Tarrant County functions the other day.
00:07:35.380 and I said, he may be the greatest attorneys general Texas has ever seen, and maybe the states.
00:07:41.960 He brings people together. I think 20 AGs came together to fight the government, and, you know,
00:07:48.700 he's truly a leader, and, you know, he's, it's a tremor, you know, it kind of reminds me of Darth
00:07:55.120 Vader. When he felt Luke walk in, and that, I feel this mysterious force, he is that tremor to the
00:08:01.840 dark forces of the evil up in Washington. And you know what? He's the greatest leader that I can
00:08:08.100 think of in terms of, as our attorneys general, I think he's going to be a great senator. And
00:08:14.340 look, we're going to vote for him. As soon as we hang up and watch the president, I'm going to go
00:08:19.480 vote this morning. I've got a whole list of guys, and this is a big election. He's going to win it.
00:08:24.420 you go all over you know jenny's more of the the texas uh uh grassroots you are too but she's
00:08:32.100 centered on that run the country you go all throughout the country what is your take right
00:08:36.040 now in may as we're getting through the end of the primary season of when you go and talk to
00:08:40.400 grassroots leaders throughout the country uh because i've noticed uh at the house raises
00:08:45.840 in the redistricting there's a lot of fire and a lot of people working it and i i keep saying i
00:08:50.500 think we're coming within hollering distance of being able to hold serve in the House. The Senate's
00:08:55.960 a totally different deal. I just don't see any enthusiasm. When I talk to people and they're
00:08:59.900 telling me about the Senate, it's always in a very negative context that they've blocked President
00:09:03.860 Trump's agenda. They're treating him as a lame duck. What are your thoughts? You've got a pretty 0.93
00:09:09.100 good feel for things out there. What are your thoughts of just in May coming up in this all
00:09:13.360 important midterm? Yeah, look, I'm going to side with you on this. About six months ago, I thought
00:09:19.020 it was the end of, as it always is, you know, when the president comes in, you know, hold three,
00:09:24.520 three sides government. But you know what, at the end of the day, it really looks like
00:09:28.700 there's a lot of enthusiasm, especially with this law that just passed, or they,
00:09:33.720 the judge shot down about redistricting. All of a sudden, it's this enthusiasm reignited because
00:09:39.700 quite frankly, he's a hundred percent right. These long ribbons of, you know, you go from,
00:09:45.920 you know let's just say lubbock texas all the way to houston and call that a congress you know
00:09:51.680 a congressional seat that's nonsense and people see it and so i really do believe that uh we're
00:09:57.780 going to hold serve and you know we may get lucky and add a couple of seats what's your thoughts
00:10:04.040 about the senate well i met john thune the other day and you know what it's very rare that i'm
00:10:11.240 speechless but i had to bite my tongue and just be kind you know hold it stop stop full stop full
00:10:18.360 stop full stop i know you well enough you're never speechless when you were in a meeting and you why
00:10:23.460 did you bite your tongue what you were being very polite why'd you bite your tongue
00:10:26.880 you know there's silence in the room right now except in the control room they're cutting up
00:10:35.660 like anyway you know what here's what it was I had just spoke with Mike Johnson is he perfect
00:10:41.840 I've known Mike for a long time but I'll tell you what is it could he be better sure but I'll tell
00:10:48.020 you what at least he has the chutzpah to get this save act passed and it goes to the Senate
00:10:53.240 how could anybody appreciate what the Senate's done I you know I love Mike Lee I know Ted well
00:10:58.620 I know Mike well there's a handful of guys that do a good job but the most of them put the green
00:11:03.400 jacket on, they've drank the Kool-Aid, and they just get involved in the cesspool of things
00:11:07.920 instead of really running the country like their constituents want. And that's why it's hard to say,
00:11:14.340 you know, look at food and say, why on God's green earth? There's 80% of the people out there
00:11:19.600 want the save act. I get on the plane all the time, and I'm like, red, yellow, black, white,
00:11:25.440 it doesn't matter. Jesus loves us all. But at the end of the day, everybody wants somebody to show
00:11:31.540 an ID to get on a plane, you got to. So you should be able to show an ID to vote. And, you know,
00:11:38.540 I know why it's there. You know why it's there. The grassroots and the rest of America knows why
00:11:44.780 it's there. So you know what? That tells me anybody that didn't vote to pass a SAVE Act is
00:11:50.700 not a communist, but they don't love their country. Do you think we've, I mean, we're the
00:11:56.160 advocates here that they've been treating President Trump as the, as a lame duck. This 0.96
00:12:01.020 is one of the reasons it just wasn't ken paxton's heroic efforts to support the president maga by
00:12:06.460 the way the president is now arriving uh getting ready to to um go over to the united states coast
00:12:12.420 guard academy to give the commencement address we will go live there we're also got jamie raskins
00:12:16.240 uh this judiciary committee on southern poverty law center make your head blow up so we're gonna
00:12:21.020 go to that too we'll juggle both of them um it wasn't just as i told the wall street journal
00:12:25.900 It just wasn't Ken Paxton, the great works.
00:12:27.880 It was also yesterday you picked up every newspaper on Capitol Hill and it's up in Trump's face.
00:12:32.780 We're not going to do your weaponization fund.
00:12:35.380 We're not going to fund the ballroom.
00:12:37.040 We're not going to the Save America Act is not going to be put on any piece of must pass legislation. 0.94
00:12:42.140 They're treating him like a lame duck.
00:12:43.600 No recess appointments. 0.91
00:12:45.560 And so finally he had a belly full of it.
00:12:47.240 And that's why he shot a there was a the Cornyn non endorsement that went in the endorsement to Ken Paxton.
00:12:55.720 because Cornyn thought he had it, his team thought they had it
00:12:57.820 after the primary, was a shot across the bow of John Thune.
00:13:03.400 Do you believe that we should make an effort now to remove John Thune
00:13:07.120 as leader and have somebody else, 27 votes, have somebody else
00:13:12.160 take it over, Glenn Story?
00:13:13.820 No question.
00:13:15.220 Let's get a real leader.
00:13:16.740 I mean, look, just take one guy that loves this country and say,
00:13:22.100 okay, can you lead this Senate?
00:13:23.600 Can you get the votes to pass the SAVE Act?
00:13:26.180 And if he says yes, then I would be all in.
00:13:28.980 I mean, I'm a good friend.
00:13:30.940 Mike Lee's a pretty good friend.
00:13:32.500 I watch him.
00:13:33.580 He stands in the pulpit and says, this is the way it should be.
00:13:39.400 And you just wonder, is he the only guy out there?
00:13:42.680 No, that's not the case.
00:13:44.020 But there's six, seven senators that are just not doing their job.
00:13:48.720 And so I would say find a strong leader and let's get this thing, let's get him replaced and move on.
00:13:55.360 Because you're right.
00:13:56.980 I don't think, I think there's a bunch of folks here in Texas that wanted to put Cornyn in this and get him endorsed.
00:14:06.720 Most Texans don't want that.
00:14:09.260 I mean, I've just got to tell you this.
00:14:10.840 We were, we sponsor the GOP all the time, the Texas GOP convention.
00:14:14.640 A couple of years ago, this is a great story.
00:14:18.720 Hang on. I want to take time on this story.
00:14:20.800 We're going to hold you through commercial break.
00:14:22.740 I love this story. I love this story.
00:14:25.940 Patriot Mobile 972 Patriot.
00:14:28.520 Call it right now.
00:14:29.660 Talk to them about why they're the best phone service in the world.
00:14:31.960 Glenn and Jenny will tell you about all the causes they support.
00:14:34.600 It's a Christian company based on Christian values.
00:14:39.160 Incredible company, but also the best mobile service going.
00:14:42.520 972 Patriot.
00:14:43.280 You'll talk to somebody with an East Texas accent
00:14:45.980 that is a citizen of the United States of America.
00:14:49.720 Do it today, Glenn Story.
00:14:51.340 We're also going to go live to the United States Coast Guard Academy.
00:14:56.060 The Commander-in-Chief will give the commencement address.
00:14:59.620 The American health care system is broken.
00:15:02.920 And for most Americans, nothing changes.
00:15:05.580 There's still delays, denials, high-cost insurance roadblocks.
00:15:09.420 So when I find people doing things differently, I talk about it.
00:15:13.980 All Family Pharmacy is not your typical big chain pharmacy.
00:15:18.740 This is an independent, family-owned pharmacy that gives you access to over 400 medications delivered straight to your door.
00:15:26.660 They've got ivermectin, antibiotics, antivirals, NAD+, even your daily maintenance medications, and so much more.
00:15:36.700 If you already have a prescription, your doctor can send it directly.
00:15:40.340 If you don't, their doctors handle it.
00:15:42.720 As long as there is a medical necessity, they'll take care of you.
00:15:47.760 And I'll tell you this, the feedback from people listening to this show and watching
00:15:50.920 has been incredibly strong.
00:15:53.520 People are using it.
00:15:54.700 It's working for them, and they're sticking with it.
00:15:57.240 That's because it cuts out the delays, the middlemen, and all the usual nonsense.
00:16:02.680 This is about being ready before you need it.
00:16:06.780 Go to allfamilypharmacy.com.

00:16:19.000 Your pharmacy doesn't have to be.
00:16:22.700 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:16:26.060 Okay, we're tracking the president.
00:16:27.480 We're going to go there.
00:16:28.100 We're going to go up to the house.
00:16:29.880 I've got so much more to go through.
00:16:31.240 Glenn's story, first off, give me a minute on why your phone service you put together is the best in the country.
00:16:36.780 Well, it's pretty simple. Look, we honor God in everything we do, and we try to live by
00:16:43.220 biblical principles. And here's one really interesting point as well. We want to defend
00:16:48.720 our God-given constitutional rights and freedoms and passionately defend God and glorify him in
00:16:57.800 everything we do. So let me say this. There's very, very few people, organizations that will
00:17:03.640 say that in public and i mean it it's it's it brought you've been here a number of times it
00:17:09.400 hasn't we have an enthusiasm and so what happens to that is when a customer calls they get a red
00:17:16.420 neck like me or somebody in east texas or a californian that really cares about who's on
00:17:22.100 the phone and we serve them and that what that entails our attrition rate is really low and our
00:17:27.620 net promoter score is probably it's about an 89 right now so look that is a testament in itself
00:17:34.660 this thing this is just a phone it we are not a phone company we are a mission-based company and
00:17:40.900 that mission is to save our country and I I promise you this we're one of the very few that
00:17:47.520 will stand on stage and say that so I oh one other thing they just told me to say this we have an
00:17:53.900 incredible incredible deal this month in particular for uh memorial day for those that served and for
00:18:01.380 everybody we just want to honor those that served it's a free month of service and a free phone
00:18:07.300 and and we we would love for you to come over and sign up say steve sent you it's forward slash
00:18:14.340 bannon give me that give me that again it's a hell of an offer on memorial day on the run-up
00:18:19.400 to Memorial Day. Give me that offer again. Yeah, it's a free month of service and a free phone.
00:18:27.560 So, I mean, look, call, say, hey, Steve, I heard Glenn on the show today. I know this thing's
00:18:34.900 coming down the pipe, and we're doing it for one reason. We want to honor those that served. I
00:18:41.100 think my dad was in World War II. My great-grandfather was in the Civil War. It's in our
00:18:45.760 system and to fight for this country. The honor dead of Memorial Day weekend. I know people are
00:18:54.180 going to find this quite surprising, but if you hang around Glenn's story, if you hang around
00:18:58.280 Glenn's story, if you hang around Glenn's story long enough, you'll hear a couple of three great
00:19:01.460 stories and you'll see him in action. He's what I refer to as a real piece of work. Glenn's story,
00:19:06.680 you've got to, I think you're going to tell the story that I love about, I think the Republican
00:19:10.940 convention is it the John Corner story go ahead and tell us it's fantastic well hey before I go
00:19:16.580 any further I'm glad you didn't put another word after piece of you know so anyway yeah so you know
00:19:24.940 we always have a big booth you know it's 40 by 40 40 by 60 whatever you know last CPAC we had a bus
00:19:31.600 in our booth uh you know our Patriot mobile bus but here's the story so you know we all the
00:19:37.960 grassroots are down in Houston or here in Dallas. And anyway, you know, we had about a thousand
00:19:44.660 lanyards printed and they said Patriot Mobile. Well, you know what? John Cornyn brought up his
00:19:52.700 gun control issue and other stuff. So what really ended up happening is when he was speaking,
00:19:59.080 he just got booed off stage. He talked for 15 minutes with booze going on. And about three
00:20:04.500 minutes later, we had a trash can and all thousands of lanyards were gone. And the John
00:20:10.980 Cornyn lanyards were all in the trash can next to us and next to the other booth. I got to get
00:20:18.540 you a picture of it because it's quite interesting because that speaks volumes. Conservatives
00:20:23.920 typically aren't ugly. And I don't think that's ugly. They just want to support causes or
00:20:29.540 candidates that support their country. Last thing, Talarico, because he's the NPR candidate.
00:20:38.100 Jasmine Crockett, who's a fire breather, her campaign was so disorganized that she didn't 1.00
00:20:42.760 really have it. She should have beat him, but she didn't have a shot. But the NPR crowd, 1.00
00:20:46.600 that's where they put him on Stephen Colbert with that phony thing to raise more money.
00:20:50.700 He's a, you say he's a pastor. Isn't he just a seminarian? I mean, he's a very weird guy,
00:20:56.180 is he not? That hasn't come out. That's all going to come out, but he's a very weird guy.
00:21:00.800 Well, I wish I'd have been a little more prepared. I have about 20 of things that he've said,
00:21:06.560 a list of things that he's said on stage, and I've got scripture to the side of it that
00:21:13.960 completely repudiates what he says. And so, yeah, this guy has, he stands in the pulpit.
00:21:20.620 he is a pastor. He's a seminary guy. Seminaries these days seem to be woke if he's a byproduct
00:21:28.900 of what's going on because he is not a Texas pastor. I'll just tell you that the things he
00:21:34.480 says wants to make you just throw up. And so look, the battle against this guy right here,
00:21:42.860 i promise you
00:21:44.620 will be epic because there's not a christian a real true believer that believes he has the
00:21:54.020 right message he is beto uh beto point 2.0 but i'll tell you this he's got a little bit of
00:22:01.340 believability but he's not likable from my perspective and you know what not that i need
00:22:06.260 a person that's likable i want a guy that'll go up there and fight for our constitutional rights
00:22:10.220 and freedoms. And I know Ken will do that. I don't think this guy stands a chance.
00:22:14.700 Oh, no, no. Tallarico, definitely. I can prove that from the very first day of the Biden regime.
00:22:19.700 972 Patriots, where you go. Glenn, thank you so much for taking time to join us today.
00:22:25.120 And thank Jenny for everything you guys do. Some of the grassroots leaders down in Texas.
00:22:29.900 Appreciate you. Well, we thank you for giving us this platform to talk. And Steve, you're one of
00:22:35.740 the greatest partners and we always appreciate you we welcome you back down to texas soon because
00:22:40.740 we got a battle out here to to take care of you got a big fight gotta hold that seat thank you
00:22:46.360 sir appreciate you all right have a blessed day also the statement the governor's race attorney
00:22:51.620 general all of it um i've got a few minutes can i play we're waiting for the president to come
00:22:56.800 let's play i want to go to jamie raskin so you see jamie raskin this is the top hate group in the
00:23:00.960 country and we got to take it down we got to blow up the southern poverty law center let's see
00:23:05.340 the one and only Jamie Raskin today judiciary. Anyone has flipped sides to join the racist
00:23:11.340 extremists. It's not the SPLC. It is the FBI itself. And if a fraud is being perpetrated
00:23:18.320 in the public right now, it's not an SPLC fraud. SPLC has been an enemy of the Klan 0.63
00:23:23.800 and neo-Nazi groups for more than a half century. It's been unswerving and steadfast,
00:23:28.900 which is why their offices were bombed and why they get an unending stream of violent
00:23:34.680 death threats, something which makes this prosecution and persecution all the more
00:23:39.640 appalling. No, what we're witnessing is a Trump administration fraud on a vast and shocking scale.
00:23:46.260 President Trump has coddled and cultivated the extreme right for as long as he's been in
00:23:50.660 politics. After the infamous Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville in August of 2017,
00:23:56.560 when neo-Nazis marched on a synagogue in the University of Virginia, chanting Jews will not
00:24:02.980 replace us, when a homicidal extremist drove his car into peaceful counter-protesters and killed
00:24:09.300 Heather Heyer, Trump could only bring himself to say that there were some very fine people
00:24:14.280 on both sides. In 2020, when he was directly asked in a nationally televised presidential debate
00:24:20.140 to condemn white supremacists, he told the Proud Boys to stand back and stand by,
00:24:27.640 which they immediately adopted as their official motto and emblazoned on their t-shirts.
00:24:32.440 In office, the Trump administration has dismantled the anti-domestic terror infrastructure at the FBI, at DOJ, at the Department of Homeland Security, constantly shifting resources away from monitoring racially motivated violent extremism into immigration enforcement.
00:24:49.440 He's gutted the Civil Rights Division, which is charged with prosecuting hate crimes, defunded the Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships, which had helped prevent more than 1,000 violent terror plots since 2020, and installed a 22-year-old with zero national security experience, except for Model United Nations, his junior year of college, to run what remains of our Terrorism Prevention Office.
00:25:15.420 He's redirected the Civil Rights Division to focus on so-called anti-white discrimination instead of the actual hate crimes devastating communities across America.
00:25:24.720 He fired the federal prosecutors and FBI agents who investigated and convicted the extremists who attacked the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
00:25:32.900 And just this month, the Trump administration released a new national counterterror strategy that literally erases right-wing violent extremism from the record.
00:25:42.300 The strategy identifies drug cartels, Islamist terror, and violent left-wing extremists as the nation's top threats, but makes no mention whatsoever of far-right extremism, white supremacist violence, or domestic neo-Nazi terror.
00:25:56.260 This despite a decade of data from the Nonpartisan Center for Strategic and International Studies showing that right-wing extremists carried out 152 attacks in the United States and killed 112 Americans compared with 35 attacks and 13 deaths attributed to left-wing extremists.
00:26:15.840 Again, he just blames his enemies for what his side is doing.
00:26:19.920 Trump's real relationship to the extreme right was on full display January 6, 2021, when the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, and Three Percenters, all in Roger Stone's sphere of influence, led the violent assault on the Capitol and our police force as Trump exhorted a crowd of thousands to go out and fight and fight like hell or you won't have a country anymore.
00:26:39.820 That mob not only chanted, hang Mike Pence, referring to Donald Trump's then vice president, and tried to shut down the peaceful transfer of power for the first time in American history, but brutally assaulted our police, wounding, injuring, disfiguring, and disabling more than 150 officers, terminating many careers in the process.
00:27:01.860 But what has President Trump done to support, praise, or even just thank the police officers?
00:27:05.160 We're going to come back to this. We're going to take a short commercial break.
00:27:08.400 I want to play Raskin because he's one of the smartest and toughest on their side.
00:27:13.140 This is the unbridgeable gap I talk about.
00:27:16.520 That can't be debated away.
00:27:19.800 It cannot be.
00:27:20.860 It's not bridgeable.
00:27:22.600 They have a hate group that they have now an endowment with $800 million that have set out to destroy all these great groups on the right, including Charlie Kirk.
00:27:34.900 Really, they targeted Charlie Kirk because they realized Charlie Kirk was a rising power and a good man. 0.98
00:27:39.560 And you heard that crap right there. 0.98
00:27:42.540 That's not a debate. 0.99
00:27:43.860 Or we're going to say that.
00:27:44.820 No, it's unbridgeable.
00:27:47.720 One side is going to win and one side is going to lose.
00:27:53.220 And we will win if we do not quit.
00:27:58.480 I'm going to repeat that.
00:27:59.580 If we don't quit, we'll win.
00:28:02.360 Now, we're not going to win tomorrow.
00:28:06.420 It's a process.
00:28:07.960 Trust the process in the warbird.
00:28:11.860 Short commercial break.
00:28:13.520 We're going to return maybe to the United States Coast Guard.
00:28:20.320 The dollar's convertibility into gold ended in 1971.
00:28:25.280 Gold was fixed at $35 an ounce.
00:28:28.680 Well, fast forward to today, and the U.S. dollar has lost over 85% of its purchasing power.
00:28:35.580 Gold, on the other hand, is increased in value by over 12,000%.
00:28:40.200 That's why central banks are buying gold at record levels.
00:28:44.120 That's why major firms like Vanguard and BlackRock hold significant positions in gold.
00:28:49.780 And that's why I encourage you to consider diversifying your savings with physical gold from Birch Gold Group.
00:28:57.840 But it starts with education.
00:28:59.580 Birch Gold just announced their Learn and Earn Precious Metals event.

00:30:12.500 Rising premiums, denied claims, fine print nobody but a lobbyist understands.
00:30:17.940 Millions of American seniors are paying too much and getting too little.
00:30:21.460 And worst of all, most don't even know it.
00:30:24.560 Hey, that could be you.
00:30:26.560 That's why if you're already on Medicare or will be soon, you need to talk to our friends at Chapter.

00:31:20.240 Here's your host, Stephen K. Vann.
00:31:23.560 I want to make sure you get the full scope of the Jamie Raskin, because this is where the fight's going to be.
00:31:30.340 Like I said, it's not bridgeable.
00:31:32.100 It's not, and you can't debate it.
00:31:33.400 One side's going to win, one side's going to lose.
00:31:36.260 And we're winning.
00:31:37.280 I know sometimes it says, well, Steve, it doesn't feel like winning.
00:31:41.000 My response to that, it's maybe too much winning.
00:31:43.600 Kidding.
00:31:46.240 You just got to keep at it.
00:31:48.320 And good things are going to happen, like Ken Paxson.
00:31:50.300 Remember, always remember, they were about 30 minutes away from,
00:31:57.400 after the primary, because it was 40 to 41,
00:31:59.740 after they had spent, I think, $80 million of talking President Trump
00:32:05.340 or giving him false information and bad polling and things like that
00:32:08.320 to endorse Cornyn, which had been an unmitigated disaster.
00:32:14.800 And because of people's hard work and getting to the president
00:32:17.880 and making sure the president knew how much Cornyn hated him and hated MAGA.
00:32:23.380 And you see these guys, you see Cassie right away flipping.
00:32:26.160 Cassie's now, he was always an enemy.
00:32:28.240 Now you can just come out from under a rock and be an enemy.
00:32:32.700 But the endorsement, and the endorsement means so much more than just Ken Pax.
00:32:36.620 It's a rejuvenation.
00:32:38.080 This is the reason we went down with Prop 10 back in January.
00:32:42.440 We felt it was quite important because victory begets victory,
00:32:47.860 and we needed some wins.
00:32:50.180 At that time, I don't think the pundits were too far off.
00:32:54.720 I think you could look at a 20 or 25 or maybe a 30-seat blowout.
00:32:59.200 People were just not feeling it, right?
00:33:03.360 I mean, some obviously did, but a lot of people were just not feeling it.
00:33:08.780 That's why Prop 10 was such a big victory, $2 million with no money.
00:33:13.040 But the key was the organization and the rejuvenation of the spirit
00:33:16.500 inside of Paxson's that could really be bulletproof
00:33:20.980 from the money spent against it.
00:33:22.820 My time down there, what I was appalled about, totally appalled about,
00:33:26.260 and it shows you that the people, the Las Avidas and Cornyn
00:33:29.060 and the people around Cornyn and Thune,
00:33:30.820 they're not interested in saving the country.
00:33:34.440 They're not interested in this republic.
00:33:35.860 They're interested in just their own making money.
00:33:39.440 Nobody that has a conscience would ever do what they attempted to do
00:33:45.460 against Ken Paxson.
00:33:46.520 We were down there, and it was during the time of the Olympics too,
00:33:50.040 the Winter Olympics.
00:33:50.560 So it was both broadcast, which is quite extraordinary, the local news and all cable, carpet bombing, the worst possible edge you could ever have against somebody.
00:34:01.300 And this is where, you know, because Cornyn had, you know, he's an open borders guy.
00:34:05.200 He hated President Trump's law, fought against him.
00:34:07.520 Of course, he's got a big ad.
00:34:08.440 He's walking up and down with a big cowboy hat about the wall.
00:34:12.200 You know, he's all for the wall. 0.99
00:34:13.920 As soon as we put the Sharia law, you remember the Texas Tribune, which is a very good paper down there. 0.99
00:34:18.880 um it's it's on the left but they do good job reporting they they picked up in the first week
00:34:24.800 or two that we were down there after the um after you know glenn beck and gert fielders and peter
00:34:29.300 mckelvenny and everybody who had that uh great dinner that was sponsored by the grassroots
00:34:33.760 said hey out of nowhere this muslim this sharia law proposition has become like the number one
00:34:39.460 thing or is john cornyn who's been very pro uh islamic invasion right doing these things you
00:34:50.100 know honoring their their holidays all of it just the worst um he uh does an ad literally did an ad
00:34:57.640 in the first couple days because these guys think this is smart we'll just take this and did an ad
00:35:01.260 where he's the uh he's uh he's against sharia law and he's gonna you know put a pro uh you know
00:35:07.540 legislation against sharia law just a complete telephony and then two day two or three days

00:39:09.540 Please take your seats.
00:39:21.540 Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats.
00:39:33.540 It is now my privilege to introduce the
00:39:35.540 to introduce the commandant of the Coast Guard, Admiral Kevin E. Lunday.
00:39:46.680 Good morning. Linda Lee and I are honored to be here today.
00:39:51.520 President Trump, thank you for coming back today to charge these new officers
00:39:55.440 as they head out to our operating forces.
00:39:58.560 Thank you for your visionary leadership to renew the Coast Guard,
00:40:02.060 starting with last year's record capital investment, sir.
00:40:05.540 to buy new cutters, boats, aircraft, facilities, and technology.
00:40:09.860 Sir, we've already spent $13 billion of that to meet your intent,
00:40:13.120 and we're on track to spend nearly all of it by the end of this year.
00:40:16.760 Thank you for your strong 27th annual budget that, when funded by Congress before October,
00:40:22.000 will grow our service by nearly 6,000 people to operate those new assets.
00:40:27.280 And thank you for your resolute advocacy for not just the Coast Guard, but all of our armed forces, sir.
00:40:34.080 Secretary Mullen, thank you.
00:40:35.540 Secretary Mullen, thank you for your leadership and support of our Coast Guard, men and women
00:40:47.100 and their families.
00:40:48.680 And under the President's direction, for fighting to successfully fund the Coast Guard
00:40:52.900 and the rest of DHS and ensure that what happened this year never happens again.
00:40:58.020 We will not forget what you did, sir.
00:41:07.180 To the superintendent, faculty, and staff, thank you for forging these men and women
00:41:10.660 into leaders of character who are ready for the call.
00:41:14.340 To the parents, families, and friends, you laid the firm foundation of character and
00:41:18.180 values for these graduates.
00:41:20.060 Their success reflects your enduring love and support.
00:41:23.600 Thank you.
00:41:24.820 To the Class of 2026, congratulations.
00:41:28.860 Four years ago, you arrived as individuals, Americans drawn from across our great United
00:41:33.760 States, including our U.S. territories in Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, Northern
00:41:39.400 Marriott Islands, and American Samoa.
00:41:42.320 You were joined here by international students from allied and partner nations.
00:41:46.560 Today as you march out, you do so as a unified team, forged in the crucible and bound together
00:41:52.380 by a shared calling to serve with honor, respect, and devotion to duty.
00:41:57.600 You will serve at a time of historic consequence.
00:42:00.620 The maritime domain is more complex, contested, and more vital to American security and prosperity
00:42:05.960 than ever before.
00:42:07.960 And today, the Coast Guard is in greater demand, and we are delivering proven value and results
00:42:12.880 to the American people.
00:42:14.980 We save lives.
00:42:16.920 We secure and defend our homeland and its maritime approaches, from the borders of the
00:42:21.060 mainland U.S., throughout the Caribbean and the Western Hemisphere, to Alaska and the
00:42:25.600 Arctic, to Hawaii and their three territories in the Pacific, and in cyberspace.
00:42:31.100 We facilitate commerce through our ports, waterways, and shipping, vital to America's
00:42:35.980 economic prosperity and to rebuilding the nation's maritime might.
00:42:41.480 And we respond to crisis.
00:42:43.420 At the same time, our service is implementing the President's vision to renew the Coast
00:42:47.620 Guard through force design, a generational transformation that's building a new fleet
00:42:52.400 of assets and bringing in the additional men and women who will operate them.
00:42:57.620 Our people are our greatest treasure.
00:43:00.460 And as we build the most advanced ships in the world, they are nothing without their
00:43:04.180 crews and the leaders of character to command them.
00:43:08.860 You are those leaders.
00:43:11.380 You'll soon report to your first units to lead across our operating forces aboard cutters
00:43:16.260 at sectors, in deployable specialized forces teams, and at Coast Guard Cyber Command.
00:43:21.900 First though, you will take the oath to support and defend the Constitution that accompanies
00:43:26.260 your military commission.
00:43:28.780 The commission is more than words.
00:43:30.940 It is a direct grant of constitutional authority from our President and Commander-in-Chief
00:43:35.420 to you, and it represents a sacred trust with the American people.
00:43:41.160 As commissioned officers in the profession of arms, you must lead as if your lives depend
00:43:47.140 on it.
00:43:48.300 For certain, the lives of the men and women you lead, their lives will depend on it.
00:43:53.580 And the lives of the American people we serve will depend on it.
00:43:58.580 The Academy has prepared generations of officers, and you have spent four years preparing for
00:44:03.400 this moment.
00:44:05.040 And I know you are ready.
00:44:07.560 I am incredibly proud to serve as your commandant.
00:44:12.200 Looking to the horizon, I have certain hope for the future.
00:44:17.020 For there's one thing our distinguished service history proves.
00:44:20.800 With a ready Coast Guard crew and the strong support of the American people, there is nothing
00:44:26.780 we can't accomplish.
00:44:28.500 Semper Paratus.
00:44:37.260 I'm now honored to introduce a distinguished leader who knows what it takes to secure our
00:44:41.100 United States and enable our Coast Guard and the Department to deliver mission success.
00:44:46.460 A fighter who's always in our corner, leading from the front, our Secretary of Homeland
00:44:50.920 Security, Mark Wayne Mullin.
00:44:55.980 Thank you, Admiral Lundy, and thank you, Mr. President, for allowing me such an honor
00:45:10.880 to serve in your cabinet at such a historic time.
00:45:15.820 As Secretary of Homeland, it's a very humbling position I find myself in, and I play no games
00:45:25.600 about who is my favorite out of the 22 components. I understand the Coast Guard, you're our first
00:45:32.160 line of defense to protecting the homeland. And our President, our Commander-in-Chief,
00:45:38.720 he believes in peace through strength. But he also understands that not everybody believes in
00:45:46.240 peace and some people only respect strength. And because of the great men and women who
00:45:52.880 sat in front of me today, you give our commander in chief the options because you're the one 0.82
00:46:00.000 percenters. You're the one percent that will stand up and you defend our freedoms, you defend our 0.77
00:46:06.000 constitution, you defend our homeland, you defend our nation. And our commander in chief loves you
00:46:15.120 for that. As a one percenters the president has made it his obligation
00:46:28.680 plus his mission to fund our military in the way that no other president has
00:46:34.740 done. He's invested millions in the tunes of 25 billion actually to fund the
00:46:43.460 Coast Guard to bring the Coast Guard back to mission capable, to not just fit
00:46:50.340 today's missions, but to focus on tomorrow's missions as well. As I stated
00:46:56.300 before, you're the frontline protecting our shores. You protect our inland
00:47:01.640 waterways. You're the law enforcement of the water, and our president realizes that.
00:47:12.600 Your commander-in-chief, this isn't his first time to come and speak at this podium.
00:47:17.120 In fact, this is his second time to come speak at this podium.
00:47:20.220 Stephen K. Bennett, in the war room, we are going to follow this to the end of our time allotment.
00:47:25.400 We're going to pass over it now.
00:47:27.140 The Charlie Kirk show will pick up with Andrew Covet.
00:47:28.920 They are going to also, Real America's Voice is going to cover the entire ceremony with the commander-in-chief, including his remarks.
00:47:36.600 We'll be back at 5 p.m.
00:47:38.580 Natalie will be back at 5 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time.
00:47:41.700 I am on the road. I'll see you back here at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
00:47:45.440 To how you guys learn how to swim, to your missions capability, and to the fact that you guys are involved in every mission.
00:47:54.920 And when we're taking down the narco boats to the illegal flag vessels, you guys are involved in it.
00:48:02.080 And it comes with a great sense of pride for me because I get to call our commander in chief also my friend. 1.00
00:48:09.500 And for me to stand in front of you today and be able to introduce him to the one percenters, I take that as one of the greatest honors of my life. 0.99
00:48:23.560 So without anybody waiting on me, because I'm never going to get in the way of this guy, 0.97
00:48:31.160 let me introduce your Commander-in-Chief, our 45th and 47th President of the United States,
00:48:39.200 Mr. President Donald J. Trump.

00:54:26.460 what a what a group and today is all about the incredible class of 2026 that you've achieved
00:54:35.720 and all of the things that you've achieved
00:54:37.720 and the exciting future that awaits.
00:54:40.480 You have an amazing future.
00:54:42.720 Very soon, you'll swap your shoulder boards
00:54:46.280 and you'll join the long blue line of legendary rescuers,
00:54:49.680 seafarers, and service members
00:54:51.860 that fill American hearts with admiration and pride.
00:54:55.440 I've watched it.
00:54:56.700 I've watched you during those hurricanes in Texas,
00:55:00.140 and you got out there and you were going through waves
00:55:02.760 that nobody else would have done.
00:55:04.780 I wouldn't have done it.
00:55:05.620 would have said captain i'm not feeling too good today i think i have to take a day off but you
00:55:11.460 would have no you would have none of it you are really something i watched it you saved so many
00:55:16.500 lives during my first term we had one of the worst hurricanes ever in texas and the gulf
00:55:24.500 and the bravery that you displayed was incredible you saved thousands i think the number was 16 17
00:55:31.220 30,000 lives he saved.
00:55:33.940 Through every generation, the heroes of the United States Coast Guard have lived by a
00:55:39.420 creed of honor and bravery and sacrifice that have defied every storm, shipwreck, and every
00:55:45.540 single enemy attack.
00:55:48.200 In the hour of need, our Coast Guardsmen have brought hope to the hopeless and swept the
00:55:54.680 innocent from the jaws of a raging sea. Seas like nobody has ever seen before in some cases.
00:56:01.880 Coast Guard warriors piloted the famous Higgins boats and delivered American liberation to
00:56:07.880 beaches of Normandy and sailed through smoke and flame and gunfire to put the marines and the
00:56:15.320 Guadalcanal very much into play and they patrolled the distant shores of Manila Bay and
00:56:23.000 Mekong Delta and the Red Sea, and they patrolled them like nobody has ever been able to patrol them
00:56:29.960 before or since. For decades, the men and women of this noble service have repeated an unofficial
00:56:37.440 motto of pure, unyielding courage. It says, you have to go out, but you don't have to come back.
00:56:44.780 That's a statement. You have to go. I think of that. You have to go out,
00:56:48.960 but you don't have to go back. And you know what that means? That means danger.
00:56:53.000 And it's a statement that you live by.
00:56:55.940 This is the unbelievable heroism and exceptional selflessness that lives in the soul of every single cadet on this field, every single one of you.
00:57:05.560 And you've all been tested.
00:57:07.260 You'll be tested further and probably at higher levels as your career goes on.
00:57:12.180 But you've been very strongly tested and you have what it takes.
00:57:16.360 You're America's first offenders.
00:57:18.660 You are America's first responders.
00:57:20.500 You are the living standard-bearers of America's first fleet.
00:57:26.440 As your commander-in-chief, I could not be prouder of the great class of 2026.
00:57:33.900 Congratulations.
00:57:35.580 Congratulations.
00:57:38.000 Amazing.
00:57:42.440 And I have no doubt to say,
00:57:45.300 And just like those Coast Guard legends who came before you, you will always put America first.
00:57:53.220 We put America first now.
00:57:55.160 We haven't done that for a long time, but we do that under the Trump administration, I will tell you.
00:58:01.400 And the whole world is saying, well, America's first.
00:58:04.520 And they put America first.
00:58:05.800 And we help others, too, but we put America first.
00:58:08.800 Four years ago, most of the cadets here today could have gone to almost any school.
00:58:13.740 Well, everyone's focused on how the conflict in the Middle East is raising oil prices, but there's another grim reality to this contention.
00:58:22.120 Oil isn't the only resource being constrained. About one third of global fertilizer trade happens through this region.
00:58:29.760 And with spring planting season on top of us, American farmers are sounding the alarm with some saying they can't afford to plant their fields.
00:58:37.040 when one piece of the supply chain gets hit this hard you know what comes next higher food prices
00:58:43.620 reduced availability maybe even panic buying that's why having an emergency food supply
00:58:49.280 at home makes so much sense and that's where our friends at my patriot supply come in right now
