00:04:54.720And I said, we have to be fiscally responsible.
00:04:56.940And what I talked about was the fact that in the last eight years, the governor and I refused every pay raise that was given to us by the General Assembly because we said we knew what these positions paid when we got into office.
00:05:08.640In contrast, the attorney general has taken 126 percent pay increase over the last eight years.
00:05:14.260And he didn't like that that was being called out.
00:05:16.340And he told me he had to take it, that, you know, they made him take it.
00:05:22.860Well, the governor and I, we turned ours down.
00:05:24.800You know, why didn't you just turn it down?
00:05:26.940And, you know, that became like a real point of agitation for him.
00:05:31.460I mean, we didn't even get to the fact that, you know, another thing I brought up for the voters is that he gave $70 million on a no-big contract to his old law firm with the settlement of Savannah Riverside, something else he didn't want to be known.
00:05:49.140Governor McMaster, as a true statesman, really, you know, tries to handle disagreements behind closed doors.
00:05:55.040It was so egregious that the governor wrote a letter to the AG's office saying that the contract was way overpaid.
00:06:04.020You know, Governor McMaster is one of the politicians at the state level that President Trump really reveres, I think, more than any other.
00:06:12.540And he was, I think, critical in endorsing you to introducing you to President Trump and the business part of it.
00:06:18.340President Trump's now got this situation in Iran, and he's very open today in laying out this memory and understanding to say,
00:06:24.600hey, look, I got to get back and focus on domestic issues and particularly the economy.
00:06:30.220If you were able to talk to the president and say, Mr. President, here's two or three things
00:06:34.380I think we need to focus on as a governor of a state that's got explosive growth.
00:06:39.560Here's a couple of three things I think we need to focus on.
00:19:31.640he says, hey, we're going to pivot back and I'm going to focus on the economy because we can grow
00:19:37.500this economy. We were growing it before the war. Do you also see his efforts in deconstructing the
00:19:44.200administrative state and doing these other things that he was committed to, sir?
00:19:49.540We have to recognize the deep state is really powerful and hard to get out of. You can see
00:19:56.100some of that happening, like the education department. I think it's good to pivot back
00:20:01.200to the domestic economy, and there's lots that still can be done. Think about the importance of
00:20:07.240nuclear power or of pipelines, using the force of the federal government to break through some of
00:20:12.800these obstacles and barriers. That's true of manufacturing and getting the school system
00:20:17.800to actually educate kids. So I'm glad that we're getting out of Iran, and I think it's going to be1.00
00:20:24.260really important to push harder on the productive capacity of the US economy. So he's doing that,1.00
00:20:34.060that gets down into the granularity. How do you implement each of these changes to get the
00:20:39.140government out of the way? The president talked about, and listen, we're going to get into this
00:20:44.880more. I got McCabe and the folks out in Vegas, and we're going to talk about this. We also got
00:20:50.280a long, cold open about this Pulte situation and DNI, et cetera. But, you know, the president,
00:20:56.840there's going, I tell people this Pulte situation is kind of a throwdown, particularly this cotton0.99
00:21:02.220and these guys trying to force this confirmation hearing today when the president is not going to0.99
00:21:05.940happen. That went away. That's why we're live and not covering the confirmation hearing.
00:21:10.660But this throwdown over Pulte is going to lead to a showdown with Thune because the Senate is
00:21:18.440treating President Trump as a lame duck. And if they continue to do that, we're going to lose the
00:21:23.140Senate because I can tell you, not just the Warren Posse, but the grassroots movement, the MAGA
00:21:28.120movement, it's just not going to go door to door. As you just heard Pamela Evitt say in South
00:21:32.480Carolina, the most important thing is voter engagement. People, the MAGA folks going door
00:21:38.000to door to get low propensity, lower information voters. That's just not going to happen.
00:21:42.280So, David, do you think, like he mentioned, he wants something, he wants to attach the Save America Act to certain must-pass bills,
00:21:50.240or he wants a third reconciliation that may have some tax cuts in there, also maybe some defense spending.
00:21:57.680Do you see any way to avoid a showdown now between the president of the United States and John Thune and the Republican leadership up on Capitol Hill in the Senate?
00:22:07.740I don't know that we want to avoid the showdown.
00:22:12.480You want to get the results that you want.
00:22:14.900And so the Save America Act is really important.
00:22:17.700You know, the New York Times is out today treating it as if it restricts voting.
00:23:54.000Let's go to let's go to McCabe at the let's let's go to McCabe at the White House for a second.
00:24:00.000Is McCabe there? We just go to let's go. OK, McCabe. Talk to me about the president's had a pretty active day.
00:24:08.200We now have a complete version of the of the MOU. There's a lot of contention about that.
00:24:14.460Of course, we've got a great cold open. The total meltdown of official Washington over the cancellation of the of the confirmation hearing.
00:24:24.000of Jay Clayton because Pulte's showing up on Friday and he's going to be the acting
00:24:29.200DNI director for at least a couple of months. Your assessment of the action today between
00:25:43.220But when you say that they don't they don't view President Trump's not going to back down now.
00:25:51.700Are you saying that they don't comprehend the problems, number one, with the intelligence community that he sees and he wants to see some reforms?
00:26:00.820But and let's not hide this. Tulsi Gabbard, DNI, was in Fulton County.
00:26:07.120I think she either went or people went for her to Maricopa County.
00:26:11.820There's issues that the guy running for secretary of state, we know very well, Jim Marchant, says he has information.
00:26:17.240He's gotten Tulsi Gabbard about what's going on in Nevada.
00:26:24.720They don't see that election fraud and election integrity in the Save America Act.
00:26:28.980All this is in a structure we linked in one thing that we can't have what happened in Los Angeles in front of our eyes that we're not prepared just to have elections stolen again and again and again.
00:26:41.280So I'm in the Capitol. I'm in the Senate office buildings. I'm in the hallways like this afternoon.
00:26:48.400And it just struck me what an insular place the Senate is. They have no idea what's going on
00:26:54.440in the House of Representatives, let alone what's going on with the president. And they're just,
00:26:59.560they are mystified. They are confused. They don't know why he's causing so much trouble.
00:27:05.500it's a and so on one level you could say hey do they just hate the president and or do they just
00:27:11.680want to keep crooked elections there's some of that but i think a lot of it is that they're
00:27:16.640senators and they don't understand why somebody is tampering with senatorial privilege and their
00:27:22.260process and we want to get along and and so there's just a lot of of that like you know you try to
00:27:29.440engage with them and they're not even you know on the level that we're talking that's not where the
00:27:35.020senators are the senators are like what is he doing why is he being like this okay hang on neil
00:27:40.880you stay at the white house i'm gonna come back to you we're also gonna go to the conference the
00:27:43.980summit out in nevada we've also got a killer uh cold open that will probably play towards the end
00:27:50.400of the show but i'll show you the media firestorm over the situation with pulte but pulte is
00:27:56.680going to dni going to be there i think at the crack of dawn on uh on on friday is the change
00:28:03.620every day chapter is a new company that's offering you a free no obligation assessment of your
00:28:10.200situation with medicare which is mind-numbingly confusing 845 war room that is a direct line
00:28:16.500just set up for the war room posse 845 war room go to chapter today it's a data company they come
00:28:23.580at it from a very different perspective you have a free no obligation assessment of your medicare
00:28:29.280plan or alternative plans the company is chapter 845 war room is the number short commercial break
00:28:36.720we're going to go out to nevada next everyone's focus on how the conflict in the middle east is
00:28:44.880raising oil prices but there's another grim reality to this contention oil isn't the only
00:28:51.500resource being constrained about one-third of global fertilizer trade happens through this
00:28:56.820region. And with spring planting season on top of us, American farmers are sounding the alarm
00:29:02.280with some saying they can't afford to plant their fields. When one piece of the supply chain gets
00:29:07.900hit this hard, you know what comes next. Higher food prices, reduced availability, maybe even
00:29:14.280panic buying. That's why having an emergency food supply at home makes so much sense. And that's
00:29:20.680where our friends at MyPatriotSupply come in right now at preparewithbannon.com. That is
00:29:27.640preparewithbannon.com. We've set up an entire just site for the War Room Posse. You go to

00:30:09.500stephen k bann let's go um you know i've been ranting about this the paltese situation all
00:30:16.660week. And then last night at the summit, I gave some remarks. And for those of you who didn't
00:30:22.180see it, I led with the Rachel Maddow, but I gave the complete Rachel Maddow segment, which I think
00:30:26.700blew people's heads up. And then I went into why what they're doing out there is so important.
00:30:32.160Trennis Evans and Dr. Franks joins us. Jim Marchand is going to be there.
00:30:37.280The work that you're doing out there is amazing. And this is one of the reasons I think the
00:30:40.940president seeing these and other voices uh trinus and dr franks came down hard to we got to get0.78
00:30:48.020and we need pulte in there at least for a while and this is going to be a fight i don't want to
00:30:52.200tell people hey the fight's over the fight just started because it's going to lead to this is
00:30:56.240going to be quite contentious but one of the most shocking things yet what's happened at the summit
00:31:01.200two things that have happened that are quite shocking we premiered a film or did a film
00:31:06.780which is magnificent i think it's jim caviezel's best work since uh the passion and remember he's
00:31:15.320made some some big hit films that we've helped promote on here that have been terrific but he
00:31:20.500plays yair bolsonaro and you think you're watching bolsonaro it's that good and the
00:31:25.660movie's incredible it's about the first campaign of um captain bolsonaro really an extraordinary
00:31:31.440film. The next day after that film was shown, Eduardo was there, by the way, in Nevada to do
00:31:38.980a Q&A. And the Supreme Court sentenced Eduardo to four years in prison. So when I tell people
00:31:47.380they're going to imprison us all, I'm not kidding. Navarro went to prison. I went to prison. They
00:31:52.520tried to send Trump to prison for, I don't know, 35 years or something. They had 300 years of all
00:31:56.860these things. Many people, Tom Barrack, the ambassador of Turkey. Now he was in a federal
00:32:03.260prison, federal holding prison for two or three weeks before he went to trial. So they're trying
00:32:10.020to put people, they're going to try to put people in prison, Edward in prison. And then we had last
00:32:14.880night on the show, one of the most moving and dramatic interviews ever with the former Korean
00:32:22.040prime minister, where he said flat out the CCP worked with the current government and stole the
00:32:27.120election. And so this is why, do I have Trennis and Dr. Franks? Let's bring them on. So Trennis,
00:32:34.800tell us about that. We just had Michelle Steele just confirm she's going to be the new ambassador,0.99
00:32:38.740but you dropped a bomb on us yesterday that Morris Tan, the former ambassador,0.77
00:32:44.720is a political prisoner like Tina Peters. So Dr. Franks, I know, knows a lot more about this.
00:32:50.180What exactly is going on with our great allies in South Korea?
00:33:37.300Dr. Frank is here, so I'll let him take it away if you don't mind.
00:33:40.660Do you have a question in particular, Steve, or do you want me to go ahead?
00:33:43.020Let me just tee it up because people remember Dr. Frank is one of the top technologists that really helped us get to the bottom of what's been going on, the big steel in this country for a long time.
00:34:09.720I got involved because Hwang Kyo-hwan, former prime minister, went to CPAC and he was desperately
00:34:17.400looking for help. And he met Mike Lindell there and Mike called me and said, would you talk to
00:34:22.880their election team? I talked to their election team and they said, please, yes, come out and
00:34:27.460help. We need your help. So I flew to South Korea before their early days of voting. They have two
00:34:33.660early days of voting and then there's a break and then they have the election day, expecting to like
00:34:38.200being all Mr. Data Analysis guy, you know, gather all the data, download, analyze. And I was doing
00:34:43.920that. And but I also in between, I was traveling, visiting all their polling stations, looking at
00:34:48.380all their systems, getting the overall lay of the land, the overall flow, as you put it. And
00:34:53.420we went visited, we learned about the NEC, we learned about Aweb, so much we could talk about.
00:35:00.640But basically, the elections, their early voting is similar to our early voting, you lose chain of
00:35:06.260custody in multiple ways, especially through the mail, etc. So that's a big cheating mechanism. So
00:35:12.800that's very much the same as us. And then on election day, though, the Korean NEC, it's called
00:35:19.840the National Election Commission, gave us a gift on a silver platter. They under-delivered ballots
00:35:25.840to many of the conservative polling stations, like 140 of the polling stations didn't get enough
00:35:32.580ballots. And so then the people were saying, well, give us more ballots. And the NEC said,
00:35:36.620we already sent you enough, which is kind of a symptom that they had a lot of fraud going on,
00:35:41.280too. A lot of people voted who weren't supposed to vote. So they were saying, give us more ballots.
00:35:44.760And the NEC said, no, we're going to just leave it right here. We're going to count the ballots
00:35:48.600the way they are. So if you know how Koreans live, they live in these groups of very tall buildings,1.00
00:35:53.500and they're pulling places right at the bottom. And so when they weren't going to provide more1.00
00:35:58.240ballots, it's like 10,000 people just come down and surround this building and say, we're not
00:36:01.860going to give you our ballots until you give us enough ballots so we can all vote so i was at that
00:36:07.200first situation where that happened and i was there with hankyo and on and it is an amazing
00:36:12.700thing to see 10 000 people all come and gather together and they basically said to the government
00:36:18.060we're not giving you any ballots until you give us enough so we can all vote so i show up at the
00:36:23.880seen and they see me as like the American coming to the rescue and you're USA USA and I'm coming
00:36:32.340in and and they really are desperate now and um the they're desperate because they've lost their
00:36:38.380presidency they've lost their through a coup they've lost their national assembly now and so
00:36:44.420what's happened is they they there's nothing their courts are corrupt they they're desperate
00:36:50.300We need intervention and this is South Korea. These are our allies. These are people we shed blood for and fought for and we have a very strong alliance and we can get to the A-Web thing in a minute.
00:37:01.400But that's essentially what's happening. What's amazing for me is I got to experience that whole process beginning to end.
00:37:08.240Hang on one second. I just want to go back. Yeah. Yeah. You talk about this coup.
00:37:11.880I mean, South Korea is the one nation. We did fight in South Korea with them, but they're the one nation.
00:37:17.480they're really, Australia to a degree, they had our back in Vietnam. I mean, the South Koreans
00:37:22.300have been allies. I've been fortunate enough, both in the military and then later in business,
00:37:27.040to spend a significant amount of time in South Korea. And it doesn't come any better than that.
00:37:32.200They don't come as better people. This whole initial thing started because, I guess, the
00:37:37.700president, prime minister, before they were conservatives, had problems with stolen elections.
00:37:42.520Remember, they had that whole emergency. Then they were shut down. They said, oh,
00:37:47.140is trying to be a coup. This whole thing has been metastasizing now for a couple of years.
00:37:52.360Why does it seem that the United States is not somehow getting involved here to the degree that
00:37:58.840even Ambassador Morris Tan, we found out last night, is being held as a prisoner in the country?
00:38:06.500What is it about us that here with one of our top allies, I would argue our best ally,
00:38:11.720We're not getting engaged and trying to get to the bottom of the CCP-dominated stealing that's going on.
00:38:20.240So Steve's asking the question here is that you have this longstanding relationship through Vietnam that we've had with it, not to mention our business relationship with South Korea.
00:53:17.600The second hour of the afternoon and early evening edition of War Room is upon us.
00:53:23.460We'll be back after a short commercial break.
00:53:28.640Do you owe back taxes or you haven't filed your taxes in years?
00:53:33.620Now is the time to resolve your tax matters.
00:53:36.880With the national conversation around abolishing the income tax,
00:53:41.620the IRS is fighting back and proving it's here to stay by becoming more aggressive than ever before.
00:53:47.600They're sending out more collection notices, filing more tax liens, and collecting billions more in recent years.
00:53:55.860If you owe, the IRS can garnish your wages, levy your bank accounts, seize your retirement, and even your home.
00:54:04.300If you owe or haven't filed, it's not a question of if the IRS will act, it's a question of when it will act.
00:54:11.900Right now, Tax Network USA is offering a completely free IRS research and discovery call to show you exactly where you stand and what they can stop before it's too late.
00:54:25.160Their powerful programs and strategies can save you thousands or even eliminate your debt entirely if you qualify.
