00:00:00.000 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:00:24.380 Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.
00:00:28.420 I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
00:00:34.080 The people have had a belly full of it.
00:00:36.040 I know you don't like hearing that.
00:00:37.460 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
00:00:40.100 It's going to happen.
00:00:41.380 And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
00:00:44.760 Mega Media.
00:00:46.160 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:00:51.520 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:00:54.680 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:01:01.620 War Room.
00:01:02.500 Here's your host, Stephen K.
00:01:04.580 Bannon.
00:01:10.340 It's Wednesday, 26 March, Eurovalor, 2025.
00:01:13.740 We're now out of the Oval Office, and I think the comm staff over there is going to start working on that feed,
00:01:18.200 because there's just too much great content the president's putting out.
00:01:20.660 Just as an update about Liberation Day next Wednesday, I guess it is, the 2nd of April,
00:01:28.100 Vietnam has already responded to President Trump's reciprocity on tariffs.
00:01:33.680 Vietnam is slashing their tariffs on American LNG, liquefied natural gas, from 5% to 2%,
00:01:40.000 on automobiles, which has a range from 45% to 65%, down to 32%, so cutting them in half,
00:01:48.380 and ethanol from 10% to 5%.
00:01:50.820 They're also going to further cut import duties on American chicken, almonds, apples, cherries, and wooden products.
00:01:57.720 That's just Vietnam. 0.95
00:01:59.520 So President Trump calls it Liberation Day.
00:02:01.140 Today, the kickoff, automotive, 25% on automotives coming into the United States, effective immediately.
00:02:08.600 He said on the reciprocity, they're going to be named on the 2nd and start kicking on the 3rd.
00:02:12.360 He said on automotive loans, projecting $100 billion of external revenues into the Treasury.
00:02:19.500 He said his calculation is $600 billion kind of, I guess, this year on tariffs up to, I think, in the next year, $1 trillion.
00:02:28.440 That's on an annual basis.
00:02:29.580 That's not one of these 10-year deals.
00:02:30.780 Folks, if you like what you see, and we know from polling, for the first time in 20 years,
00:02:37.860 since the early days of the Iraq War, that the country finally feels that someone's got the country on the right track. 0.79
00:02:45.060 Right track, wrong track, has been upside down since really 2004.
00:02:49.040 When I took the campaign over in 2016, I told the president, or then candidate,
00:02:52.860 I said, look, it's two-thirds, one-third after Obama's eight years of hope and change,
00:02:58.780 of which it was two-thirds, one-third when Obama beat John McCain,
00:03:02.280 because they thought Bush had not turned things around.
00:03:04.480 So since over 20 years, the country on the polling, American people can't quite articulate,
00:03:10.160 but they know something's wrong.
00:03:12.020 So we have this incredible victory in November.
00:03:15.640 And let me be blunt, and I've got some real pipe hitters here in this second hour. 1.00
00:03:20.420 Last night in Pennsylvania, on a seat that was a Trump plus 15, we lost a special,
00:03:27.580 and Cliff Maloney's going to join us to walk through that.
00:03:31.100 We also have Florida, a seat I think President Trump won by 30 points.
00:03:35.540 It was Waltz's old seat.
00:03:37.420 You have a terrific candidate, Randy Fine's going to join us right now.
00:03:40.120 Randy's in a dogfight down there.
00:03:41.960 And I think the reasons, whether it's in Wisconsin, whether it's in Pennsylvania, whether Florida,
00:03:45.820 and it's just the fact that people are so excited that President Trump won in November,
00:03:51.700 and people love what they're seeing.
00:03:54.040 They love the days of thunder.
00:03:55.800 They love the flood, the zone.
00:03:56.860 Every day they cut on, and like I said, half of Real America's Voice,
00:03:59.980 we're just taking live feeds from the Hill or from the White House
00:04:03.100 because there's so much action going on.
00:04:04.540 Action, action, action.
00:04:05.700 But we have to understand, these Democrats now are fired up.
00:04:09.800 They're angry.
00:04:10.380 They're having their Tea Party moment.
00:04:11.720 You have to understand what's happening here.
00:04:13.220 And they're looking to fight back.
00:04:15.320 And look, we're in a democracy.
00:04:16.600 I got no problem with that at all.
00:04:18.600 This is how we built this movement.
00:04:20.760 Randy Fine now joins us from Florida 6.
00:04:23.160 Randy, brother, we won this by 30 points.
00:04:27.200 You're in a dogfight down there.
00:04:28.860 Tell us, first off, give us a situation report of what's going on.
00:04:32.900 And number two, what do you need the War Room Posse to do?
00:04:36.000 What we do?
00:04:36.660 Because I understand voting, I think, goes through Saturday,
00:04:38.920 and then we got game day voting on Tuesday.
00:04:40.480 So give us a situation report, and then tell us what needs to happen.
00:04:46.240 Well, Steve, I think you summed it up.
00:04:48.060 Democrats are really, really, really mad right now.
00:04:51.720 And so they're voting.
00:04:52.920 And they just want to scream about President Trump and Elon and everything else.
00:04:58.120 And Republicans are very happy.
00:05:00.400 They feel like everything's on the right track.
00:05:03.060 And they just voted.
00:05:04.560 And President Trump is having so many wins that there's a sense of complacency.
00:05:09.180 So what we need is we need everyone who lives in the 6th Congressional District to go and vote tomorrow.
00:05:15.580 They can go to my website, voterandyfine.com.
00:05:18.300 Depending on which of the six counties they're in, they can find their early voting site.
00:05:23.100 And then they can go and vote.
00:05:24.640 And it's pretty simple.
00:05:26.740 Early voting is Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
00:05:29.080 And then there's obviously Election Day on Tuesday.
00:05:31.960 But it's very simple.
00:05:33.580 If the people who supported President Trump will vote, I will win.
00:05:37.320 I will win overwhelmingly, but we need them to do that.
00:05:40.720 And that is the challenge that we have right now is explaining to people that the agenda is at stake and we need them to go and vote right now.
00:05:49.800 Let me be blunt to the Warren Posse because you guys are the tip of the tip of the spear.
00:05:55.000 Wisconsin, Wisconsin, and they have many issues in Wisconsin.
00:05:59.120 They have gun rights.
00:06:00.340 They have this right to life.
00:06:02.860 They have election integrity.
00:06:04.380 We've got Chuck Gray, Secretary of State from Wyoming.
00:06:07.320 He's done an amazing job.
00:06:08.280 Chuck's going to join us, talk about the Mark Elias of it all and the executive order of the president.
00:06:13.340 But it comes down to, and this is why Elon's up there at $20 million.
00:06:17.520 It's 6-2 congressional delegation.
00:06:19.760 If they win that Supreme Court seat, it's going to go 4-4.
00:06:22.320 If they win 4-4, folks, I'm telling you, if we hang on to North Carolina, the redistricting, if we hang on to Louisiana, I think Louisiana is the Supreme Court, that means it has to be New York and California we have to hold.
00:06:35.380 And we're assuming that Randy Fine is representing Florida 6.
00:06:41.240 We don't have any bandwidth whatsoever.
00:06:44.280 If you like what you see from the Oval Office, if you like what you see with President Trump's doing up on Capitol Hill,
00:06:49.060 if you like what he's doing, both legislatively, if you like the executive orders, if you like the action, action, action, because he's delivering.
00:06:56.560 We can't put any more pressure on this guy.
00:06:58.400 This guy's got the weight of the world on his shoulders, and he's delivering.
00:07:01.360 The polling's through the roof.
00:07:03.080 But Rasmussen here, CNN's here, the highest approval ratings Trump's ever had, right track, wrong track, the highest in 20 years.
00:07:10.340 To make sure that we have that, Randy Fine has got to be the guy Florida 6.
00:07:15.580 There's no wiggle room here.
00:07:17.900 This has to happen.
00:07:19.620 So, Randy, I think, don't we have 100,000?
00:07:21.920 Because this is one of the finest, this is one of the best districts in the country.
00:07:26.480 This is one of the most MAGA districts, the most Trump supporters.
00:07:29.920 This is the hardcore of the hardcore.
00:07:31.640 How many of those voters have not come out and voted yet, sir?
00:07:34.800 There's 100,000 Republican super voters who haven't voted yet.
00:07:39.760 And the great thing about this election is you go and it takes five minutes.
00:07:43.740 There's literally one thing on the ballot.
00:07:45.840 You walk in, you fill in my name, circle the oval, or bubble in the oval, and you walk out.
00:07:51.520 It doesn't take long.
00:07:52.720 That's why people should go to voterandyfine.com, figure out where their early voting site is, and go and vote.
00:07:58.500 There's three more days in all six counties so we can start running up the score.
00:08:03.060 Because you never know what the weather will be like on Tuesday.
00:08:05.520 So don't procrastinate.
00:08:07.180 Go and get it done.
00:08:08.340 So there's a lot of people who haven't voted.
00:08:10.420 Yes, President Trump won this district by 30.
00:08:13.140 And I don't know that I'll win it by 30, but I'll win it by a lot if his voters get out and vote.
00:08:19.560 It matters.
00:08:20.240 President Trump wants a guy who will grab a sword, run up the hill, and cut off the dragon's head.
00:08:24.800 That's what I've done in the Florida legislature.
00:08:26.940 That's what I'm ready to do for President Trump in Washington.
00:08:29.260 But I can't do it if people don't vote.
00:08:31.160 You were one of the earliest guys to come out and endorse President Trump, were you not, sir?
00:08:38.240 I was the second Florida legislator to endorse President Trump.
00:08:41.700 And I'm the only Jewish Republican, so it was kind of a big deal, you know, in the community at large.
00:08:47.000 But, yeah, made national news when I did it.
00:08:51.380 Before I let you go, I want to talk to you about—and look, this is what a democracy is about.
00:08:54.760 The Democrats are absolutely furious.
00:08:56.680 One of the reasons they're furious, President Trump is executing on his agenda.
00:09:01.160 They clearly oppose that.
00:09:02.780 They clearly oppose that they're angry.
00:09:04.120 How angry are the folks down—the Democrats down in Florida six, sir?
00:09:08.560 We had an event outside last week.
00:09:11.200 They tried to literally scream me down for the entire time.
00:09:15.080 Now, I have a pretty big voice, so it didn't work.
00:09:17.320 But think about that.
00:09:18.440 Democrats like to say this is what democracy looks like.
00:09:21.080 And then when a Republican's having an event, they're going to scream them down, wave cowbells, things like that.
00:09:26.940 I mean, that's not how our democracy should work.
00:09:28.900 You shouldn't try to silence the other side.
00:09:30.600 They will say anything.
00:09:32.000 They will do anything to steal this seat because they know what it means, which is why I need everybody who lives in the 6th Congressional District.
00:09:39.320 Vote randyfine.com.
00:09:40.880 Find your precinct.
00:09:42.100 Early voting.
00:09:42.880 Three more days.
00:09:44.040 Take five minutes.
00:09:45.440 Go and get it done.
00:09:46.380 There's no lines.
00:09:47.720 You can vote easily.
00:09:48.960 We can run up the score for President Trump.
00:09:51.120 And make sure we deliver a resounding victory for the president on Tuesday.
00:09:55.620 That's why I'm doing this, because I want to be a foot soldier for him.
00:10:01.400 Randy Fien's philosophy is his program is President Trump's program.
00:10:06.740 Randy, one more time.
00:10:07.720 Social media.
00:10:08.360 Where do people go?
00:10:09.260 We need the 100,000.
00:10:10.900 Florida Six.
00:10:12.340 You're one of the finest of the MAGA troops.
00:10:15.400 We have to send a message on Tuesday that the MAGA movement and President Trump's movement, we're not resting on our laurels.
00:10:22.660 Every day is game day.
00:10:23.800 We know that President Trump, every day they're coming at him.
00:10:27.200 They're putting this press on now between the federal courts and the deep state.
00:10:31.160 He's fighting back every day.
00:10:33.000 Just give them your support.
00:10:34.120 Where do they go, Randy?
00:10:34.880 One more time.
00:10:36.800 Voterandyfine.com.
00:10:37.800 There's a button to figure out where you see a special election information.
00:10:41.480 You see it at the top.
00:10:42.680 It tells them where to go to vote, because each county is different.
00:10:46.520 Each county has different hours and polling places.
00:10:49.540 For now, it'll tell them where their early voting site is.
00:10:52.280 And obviously, on election day, they go to their regular polling place.
00:10:55.140 But we don't want people to wait.
00:10:56.420 We want them to vote early tomorrow.
00:10:59.140 Yeah.
00:11:00.820 Randy, thank you so much.
00:11:02.040 Look forward to talking to you tomorrow.
00:11:03.540 Randy, fine.
00:11:04.120 Thank you.
00:11:04.200 Grinding it out at Florida Six.
00:11:06.320 Thank you, brother.
00:11:06.960 I want to go to Pennsylvania.
00:11:09.140 I've got Chuck Gray and Mike Lindell going to talk about this president, EO, and then
00:11:14.520 what's going on in Wyoming to sort things out.
00:11:16.380 But I've got to get to Cliff Maloney.
00:11:17.580 Cliff, kind of a shocker last night.
00:11:19.860 This is why I want to talk about Wisconsin.
00:11:21.460 I want to talk about Pennsylvania.
00:11:23.040 This is, I guess, a state senate special election.
00:11:25.500 I understand these are low turnout.
00:11:26.780 But this is one that Trump is a 15-point.
00:11:29.300 This is Trump country by 15 points.
00:11:31.100 This is not close.
00:11:32.500 What happened last night, sir?
00:11:35.140 Yeah, so I'll give it to you straight, Steve.
00:11:36.960 You know, we ran this PHA's program.
00:11:39.160 War Room Posse was fantastic.
00:11:40.800 Joined us, supported us.
00:11:42.440 And I told people, you know, we had two special elections this past evening, last night.
00:11:47.340 One for the House, one for the Senate.
00:11:49.480 And the one outside of Pittsburgh, you know, it wasn't winnable.
00:11:52.140 It's a 75-25 Democrat to Republican seat.
00:11:55.500 And we've got to have resource allocation.
00:11:57.060 So we didn't touch it.
00:11:58.100 But then this state senate special in Lancaster, this is, like you said, it's an R-plus-15 Trump
00:12:04.400 district.
00:12:05.160 It's R-plus-23 in terms of Republicans to Democrats.
00:12:09.220 And, Steve, I'm not going to mince words here.
00:12:11.220 You know, I went to some of the swamp creatures in Harrisburg and some of these consulting class.
00:12:15.660 And I said to them, I said, look, I said, if you want us to do the PHA's program, we'll
00:12:20.400 deploy.
00:12:20.920 We'll go in and knock tens of thousands of doors to guarantee a win.
00:12:24.120 And this is what they say to me, Steve.
00:12:25.380 This is the swamp culture when it comes to consultants.
00:12:28.620 They said, Cliff, don't worry about it.
00:12:30.980 We've got it covered.
00:12:32.300 We don't think you should waste money here.
00:12:34.440 And what did they do?
00:12:35.660 They didn't chase a single ballot.
00:12:37.260 They went out and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars lining their own pockets.
00:12:42.220 And they lost the race by 500 votes in a Trump-plus-15 district.
00:12:47.040 I'm infuriated.
00:12:48.480 And I think this is the last time I listen to anybody in the consulting class.
00:12:52.140 We're just going to have to go out and do this ourselves.
00:12:54.500 You've got people like Scott Pressler, who's a great partner of ours.
00:12:57.800 Me and Scott are furious.
00:12:59.000 We don't even know what to say that we would be led astray by the consulting class and they
00:13:03.600 would find a way to lose this seat.
00:13:06.080 This isn't America first.
00:13:07.600 This isn't MAGA.
00:13:08.480 This is incompetency with GOP consultants.
00:13:14.040 Okay.
00:13:14.540 So that makes people feel better, but we still lost the seat.
00:13:17.800 And didn't it flip?
00:13:18.980 Did it not flip the Senate?
00:13:20.360 Is that correct?
00:13:21.120 Or was the House seat that flipped the House?
00:13:24.100 Yeah.
00:13:24.340 The House seat was, they had a one-seat majority.
00:13:26.700 The Democrat had passed away.
00:13:28.020 It was a Democrat seat.
00:13:29.860 So that was going to stay.
00:13:30.820 This reduces our small margin in the Senate, but we're still safe.
00:13:34.800 But Steve, let me say something bold on your show.
00:13:37.020 And I don't always like to call people out by name, but the posse is the one place where
00:13:40.760 they say name names.
00:13:42.340 You know, look, I'm calling on our new state chairman, Greg Rothman.
00:13:45.040 He's a current state senator.
00:13:46.440 And I'd ask Greg this.
00:13:47.820 I'd say, let's have a sit down.
00:13:49.560 Me, you, Scott Pressler, some of these other grassroots groups, I'm tired of just all
00:13:55.080 talk.
00:13:55.900 I'm tired of saying, oh, well, we're going to fund these things.
00:13:58.740 But there's no organization.
00:14:00.320 There's no structure.
00:14:01.160 We're going to get this seat back in two years.
00:14:04.120 But so many of the grassroots, the America First movement, MAGA is just tired of these
00:14:09.200 consultants who don't take action.
00:14:11.200 So, yeah, I'm not here to tell you to feel good.
00:14:13.300 I'm here to tell you that Republicans should be pissed off.
00:14:15.920 This is not going to have a huge impact on the PA state Senate.
00:14:19.260 But we need to sit down with party leadership like we did with the Trump campaign.
00:14:24.220 They worked with us day and day to make sure that we had the data and that we were all
00:14:28.840 singing from the same song sheet.
00:14:30.200 That is what I'm calling on right now from our state chairman, Greg Rothman.
00:14:34.220 We cannot have stupid mistakes like this again.
00:14:36.920 And I'm not even blaming the candidate, Josh Parsons.
00:14:39.700 This is the consulting class that wants to spend all their money on traditional media.
00:14:44.260 When we learn, Steve, in 2024, we don't need to message.
00:14:48.580 We have the America First voters.
00:14:51.020 We just have to get them to vote.
00:14:53.140 That should be the focus.
00:14:55.000 Amen.
00:14:56.060 Amen.
00:14:56.840 Grassroots, Pressler, you, others, just turn them out.
00:14:59.280 But where they go for social media, Cliff, we got to get on this.
00:15:02.520 If we can help put the meeting together with you and Rothman, we'd love to.
00:15:05.660 We got to get sorted here.
00:15:06.780 Where do people go, sir?
00:15:08.800 Yeah, on X, just at Maloney.
00:15:10.640 And then if folks want to help, we're doubling down on the PHAs.
00:15:13.840 Go to PHAs.com.
00:15:16.020 Steve, I'm saying here on your show, we're going to knock 500,000 doors every year because
00:15:21.100 Pennsylvania has thousands of elections every year.
00:15:23.460 I'm not going to cede an inch to Governor Josh Shapiro.
00:15:26.600 If folks believe in us doing the grassroots work, PHAs.com.
00:15:30.720 As always, Steve, appreciate you.
00:15:34.940 PHAs.com.
00:15:35.500 We love it.
00:15:35.960 Thank you, sir.
00:15:37.440 Scott Pressler is up in Wisconsin.
00:15:39.300 He's banging on doors up there, trying to bring a victory out of that.
00:15:42.440 Let's look at another grind up there. 0.73
00:15:44.780 Remember, it's two seats on the line.
00:15:47.340 Mike Lindell.
00:15:48.700 The executive order yesterday.
00:15:49.900 Give me your summary of the executive order.
00:15:51.340 We're going to go to Wyoming here in a moment.
00:15:54.160 Talk to a man that's making it happen.
00:15:55.640 What are your thoughts on this executive order, President Trump, on election integrity, sir?
00:16:00.040 Well, I dug into it.
00:16:01.420 You know, I like the paper, no paper with QR codes or barcodes.
00:16:05.500 That's basically saying, hey, you can't hide which one you voted for.
00:16:09.520 And because these machines that count the ballots, you can put anything you want behind them.
00:16:15.300 So there was a lot of stuff.
00:16:16.920 You got into the meat of that executive order.
00:16:18.800 I was very impressed.
00:16:20.640 And you guys, what did he say?
00:16:22.800 He said, there's a lot more to come.
00:16:24.780 Well, I know a lot of stuff that's coming, but there was a lot packed into that.
00:16:28.720 And you even had the Daily Mail, Steve, over in UK there doing this big thing about it and
00:16:35.960 how this is going to alienate voters to go vote because they don't have IDs.
00:16:40.780 And then it said down below, and Mike Lindell, the conspiracy theorist, he grifted off this.
00:16:48.300 And I go, well, I'm a pretty bad grifter, I'll tell you.
00:16:51.580 If you don't have an ID, you don't need to vote.
00:16:54.200 Very simple.
00:16:54.900 Mike, before I bounce, sell me a pillow.
00:16:57.560 Sell me a pillow or sell me some sheets.
00:17:00.080 Right on.
00:17:00.680 Well, you guys, just yesterday we had another cancellation from a box store.
00:17:05.160 I'm actually going to put their name out nationwide tomorrow.
00:17:08.600 We had it all ready for them to go out, and they canceled.
00:17:11.960 You can't make this stuff up.
00:17:13.540 But you know what?
00:17:14.480 We make lemonade out of lemons.
00:17:16.740 So here's what we got again.
00:17:18.380 The box stores, they canceled.
00:17:20.260 We're giving it to the War Room Posse, what was allotted for the box stores.
00:17:24.320 These are all the spring sheets that came in.
00:17:26.660 The allotment that was for the box stores, we're going to give you for the wholesale prices.
00:17:30.680 The queens are $29.98, $34.98 for the kings and the percale.
00:17:37.040 Go to the mypillow.com, scroll down.
00:17:40.460 We put Steve right on top there.
00:17:42.060 Click on Steve, and there you got it.
00:17:44.120 The my crosses you guys all love.
00:17:46.020 You save 30%.
00:17:47.180 There's those $9.98 pillows, the War Room specials there with the mypillow 2.0.
00:17:53.100 If you've never tried a mypillow, $9.98, okay?
00:17:57.120 So you get all these wholesale prices because of the box store.

00:18:03.740 And you guys call the number.
00:18:05.140 They're 800-873-1062.
00:18:08.080 That's one of the biggest wins I'm proud of.
00:18:10.020 When the IRS came after my home rep, said, you can't work from home.
00:18:13.760 We beat them.
00:18:14.760 They're working from home.
00:18:15.860 They're taking your calls.
00:18:17.480 And promo code War Room, you guys, I don't know where we'd be without you.
00:18:21.720 But my pillow's here.

00:18:25.040 We're never losing our voice.
00:18:26.360 We're going to keep talking, no matter what they do, to attack my pillow, my employee-owned company.
00:18:31.960 And we thank the War Room posse and your show.
00:18:36.440 Thank you, brother.
00:18:37.260 I appreciate you.
00:18:37.880 Mike Lindell, the best promo code in the business.
00:18:40.280 Promo code WARROOM.
00:18:41.000 Go to mypillow.com.
00:18:43.080 Let's go.
00:18:43.660 We got a package to play in front of Chuck Gray, the Secretary of State of the Great State of Wyoming.
00:18:48.140 Let's go ahead and let it rip.
00:18:48.940 Now, Ms. Kerger, the American people want to know, is Elmo now or has he ever been a member of the Communist Party of the United States?
00:18:59.500 A yes or no?
00:19:00.340 No.
00:19:01.240 Now, are you sure, Ms. Kerger, because he's obviously red.
00:19:04.700 Well, he is a puppet, but no.
00:19:06.540 Now, that's not all.
00:19:08.560 He also has a very dangerous message about sharing and helping each other.
00:19:13.180 He's indoctrinating our kids that sharing is caring.
00:19:15.720 Okay, that's the wrong package.
00:19:19.540 We'll play in a second.
00:19:20.160 Let's get Chuck Gray up from Wyoming.
00:19:22.360 Chuck, we had Mark Elias, and we had the signing of the order.
00:19:27.720 Talk to me why this executive order you said from the President of the United States is very similar to what you've been doing in Wyoming.
00:19:34.200 Did he crib what you guys are working on, or did you crib him, sir?
00:19:37.700 Oh, President Trump, CEO yesterday, huge moment for election integrity in our country, proof of citizenship.
00:19:45.720 For registering to vote, stopping foreign funding of elections, and that's exactly what we've been working on in Wyoming.
00:19:55.380 In our recently completed 2025 general session, we passed proof of citizenship for registering to vote.
00:20:01.860 We applied it to all races, unlike many states that don't have exemptions from the National Voter Registration Act that can't apply it to federal races.
00:20:12.260 And that was one of the things that this EO does.
00:20:15.160 It says that the National Voter Registration Form shall require proof of citizenship.
00:20:21.740 We also banned the foreign funding of elections, closed the federal loophole that the FEC put in place that allows federal funding for statewide ballot measures, which is really disturbing.
00:20:33.620 And we closed that in our recently completed general session.
00:20:37.080 And President Trump's executive order closes it as well by saying that the DOJ needs to prosecute these cases of foreign funding of elections that we've seen in Michigan and Ohio with ballot measures.
00:20:51.420 So hang on a second, because this is explosive.
00:20:56.500 Hit rewind for a second.
00:20:57.600 You're saying that you can prove, and you're rooting out of Wyoming, that there's foreign, not just influence, but foreign money coming in to drive some of these elections, sir?
00:21:07.780 This is a trend across our country because the FEC issued a decision a while back that the ban on foreign funding of elections does not apply to statewide ballot measures.
00:21:21.820 This is in past administrations, and the FEC is sort of a quasi-independent agency.
00:21:27.960 And so what we've been trying to do is go state by state, and chief election officials in each state, like myself, have been trying to bring through legislatures bans on foreign funding of statewide ballot measures, this loophole that the FEC created in the past.
00:21:44.360 And we were the second state to pass this ban two and a half weeks ago in our state statute, and the EO is working to push back on the FEC decision.
00:21:55.620 I know the Congress is working on it as well because it is a decision that we've got to reverse.
00:22:01.240 Have you noticed, you're kind of at the cutting edge of this, have you noticed since President Trump won, because we've just talked about Pennsylvania and people kind of leaning on their rakes there in Florida, we're trying to fire people for this Florida 6, we see it in Wisconsin right now.
00:22:17.140 Now, were people so excited about President Trump winning, Chuck?
00:22:23.280 Do you think that now the election integrity, is that a harder sell for the MAGA base?
00:22:27.780 Are people still up on the ramparts about this and saying, yeah, we've got to clean all these elections up, sir?
00:22:34.720 President Trump is doing a fantastic job.
00:22:37.960 I mean, Steve, think about this fact sheet on the first 100 days, how that's going to read.
00:22:42.660 I mean, it's going to be a book.
00:22:44.820 So he's doing a fantastic job, and I think that the election integrity movement, that there is still a huge appetite.
00:22:53.720 People understand that we need to continue to push these election integrity measures that we've been pushing since the 2020 election fiasco, and that's why we won this election in 2024.
00:23:06.680 It's a huge part of it is that we were advancing these election integrity measures.
00:23:11.680 President Trump just did a fantastic job.
00:23:14.820 We're traveling the entire country pushing and putting forward our Make America Great Again message.
00:23:21.200 But the election integrity measures that advanced have also been extremely helpful in that respect.
00:23:28.240 And I think people understand that we've got to continue pushing election integrity.
00:23:32.700 We've done some polling on it, and election integrity is at the forefront of voters' minds in Wyoming.
00:23:38.200 And across our country, Scott Rasmussen released some polling about two weeks ago showing that over 90 percent of Americans want proof of citizenship for registering to vote, Steve.
00:23:48.340 Over 90 percent of Americans.
00:23:51.080 This isn't just Republicans and independents.
00:23:54.340 This is strong supermajorities of Democrats.
00:23:57.520 I mean, that's the only way you get to over 90 percent of Americans approving a proof of citizenship for registering to vote.
00:24:03.780 And that's what President Trump got done yesterday with this fantastic executive order.
00:24:10.400 Go back.
00:24:11.060 I just want you to hit that for a second.
00:24:12.320 I don't think people say it enough.
00:24:14.560 The reason we won in 2024 is work that you and others had done in the lead up in those dark years of 21, 22, 23, where we couldn't get the reversal that we needed for the election that was stolen.
00:24:25.980 But you did election integrity work.
00:24:27.820 What worked the most that led to this triumph in 2024, sir?
00:24:34.940 President Trump really worked to advance conservative secretaries of state in the 2022 cycle.
00:24:44.740 He endorsed our campaign, and I'm proud to have the President Trump's endorsement in that campaign.
00:24:51.580 I think one of the key aspects of what we advanced in the intervening period after the 2020 election fiasco was the ban on Zuck Bucks, the ban on third-party interference in elections.
00:25:05.100 And that was just pivotal.
00:25:06.900 You look at what the Democrats and the left machine did in swing states with these Zuck Bucks and these drop boxes. 0.94
00:25:15.360 We pushed back on that, and Wyoming became the 28th state to ban this third-party interference in elections.
00:25:23.680 And then I also think the eyes that were on the entire election process, that was pivotal.
00:25:30.360 Of course, the most important part, the sine qua non, if you will, was President Trump and the work that he has continued to do, pushing back on the radical left, campaigning and advancing our message across the United States.
00:25:44.680 And getting things done.
00:25:46.060 I mean, it's amazing, Steve, these EOs every single day.
00:25:50.360 I mean, the fact sheet on this first 100 days.
00:25:53.240 I mean, have you thought of it?
00:25:55.180 I've been thinking about it the last few days.
00:25:56.740 It's going to be incredible.
00:25:57.520 It's amazing.
00:25:59.660 Chuck, hang on for one second.
00:26:01.020 I want to hold you through the break.
00:26:02.560 I'm going to ask you.
00:26:03.180 Mark Elias came on TV last night and said everything.
00:26:08.300 And President Trump's executive order was totally unconstitutional.
00:26:12.160 None of it would pass.
00:26:13.340 And the Chuck Grays, the Secretary of State of Wyoming and others would just have to suck on that. 0.78
00:26:19.420 We're going to take a short commercial break.
00:26:20.780 We're going to be back in a moment.
00:26:21.440 We've got a very special guest, the great Johnny Kahn, the author of this amazing song,

00:26:37.140 The great John Kahn joins us.

00:30:58.340 Do it today.
00:30:59.100 So you just spoke about elections, and today we have a new executive order,
00:31:10.960 which, again, it's a little hard to characterize these things
00:31:13.520 because what it's purporting to say it does is just plainly unconstitutional, unlawful.
00:31:18.440 It's an executive order to essentially, by decree, centralize election administration,
00:31:28.600 require a whole bunch of new forms of election checking,
00:31:32.640 and basically put it in the hands of Donald Trump unilaterally with no law being passed
00:31:37.400 and against the existing laws in the existing jurisdictions.
00:31:40.600 What do you make of this new EO?
00:31:42.680 Yeah, it's wildly unconstitutional and illegal.
00:31:45.740 Let's just start with that.
00:31:47.000 It has no more of the force of law than you and I, Chris, agreeing now
00:31:52.080 that the sun rises in the West and sets in the East, right?
00:31:56.160 It is a fever dream that Donald Trump has
00:31:59.100 because the one consistent thing in all of Donald Trump's efforts has been election nihilism.
00:32:05.960 It is the only thing that is uncompromising in his administration.
00:32:09.700 It's a thing that's consistent.
00:32:11.300 It's the reason why he hates me, because I was successful in litigating against him and his campaign.
00:32:16.520 But what this executive order tries to do is to claim that he has this power
00:32:21.420 to control how elections that are run.
00:32:25.160 He has the power to contravene Congress.
00:32:27.980 He has the power to overrule states.
00:32:30.420 By the way, he also kicks in that he's giving Doge subpoena power,
00:32:33.760 which is kind of a nice little sideline for him.
00:32:37.440 Perhaps he'll give Mr. Musk something to do.
00:32:40.140 But the fact is that the Constitution is very clear,
00:32:42.540 that the ability to regulate the time, place, and manner of elections
00:32:45.720 rests with the states, and it can be overridden by Congress.
00:32:50.560 Congress, not the president.
00:32:52.480 Congress.
00:32:53.060 And Congress has passed laws that are enforced,
00:32:56.200 and the president simply has no authority.
00:32:59.400 So, Secretary of State of Wyoming, Chuck Gray, what is it?
00:33:02.720 Are you and President Trump right, or is Mark Elias right, sir?
00:33:06.060 Well, Mark Elias has a history of being wrong.
00:33:12.000 He is a woke clown, and this is just another example of it.
00:33:17.280 He's tried to make a career out of attacking basic election integrity measures
00:33:23.580 that over 90 percent of Americans want.
00:33:26.280 And here he is going again, going with this golden oldie, 0.92
00:33:30.460 the song that they think we want to hear, but we really don't,
00:33:33.700 and going after proof of citizenship for registering to vote,
00:33:37.080 which over 90 percent of Americans want.
00:33:40.520 So it's just more of the same,
00:33:42.320 which the people of the United States rejected here in the 2024 election.
00:33:47.020 Chuck, how can people find out more about what you guys are doing at Wyoming?
00:33:54.740 I think it's pretty remarkable.
00:33:56.080 So where do people go?
00:33:57.980 Appreciate that.
00:33:59.060 You can visit us on X at Chuck for Wyoming,
00:34:02.940 on Instagram at Chuck for Wyoming,
00:34:05.560 and then also on Facebook, Chuck Gray.
00:34:08.240 We continue to post updates on our work
00:34:11.100 at the Wyoming Secretary of State's office
00:34:12.980 and advancing election integrity
00:34:15.780 and putting forward our Make America Great Again agenda.
00:34:22.560 Chuck, thank you so much for joining us,
00:34:24.600 and thank you for all the work out there.
00:34:27.020 Thanks. Thanks, Steve.
00:34:28.020 Appreciate it for having me on.
00:34:31.360 Thank you, brother.
00:34:32.140 These are the guys that are making it happen, the men and women.
00:34:35.040 You got the Cliff Maloney's.
00:34:36.100 You got the guys chasing ballots, knocking on doors, canvassing.
00:34:40.120 This is what it's all about, the Chuck Gray's of the world. 0.97
00:34:43.360 This is why President Trump is in the Oval today.
00:34:45.320 This is why we're talking about 25% tariffs on automotives.
00:34:47.780 This is why he's bringing the economy back,
00:34:49.380 bringing back almost a trillion dollars right now
00:34:52.080 in capital investment from some of the major companies
00:34:54.860 in the world on the manufacturing side.
00:34:58.120 Okay, something very special.
00:34:59.620 John Kahn, you know, we play American Heart.
00:35:01.540 You guys love it.
00:35:02.660 It's the anthem of the Tea Party that John wrote,
00:35:05.400 I don't know, 14 years ago or longer,
00:35:08.340 when Andrew Breitbart, the great Andrew Breitbart,
00:35:11.880 was the leader of our movement.
00:35:13.800 He's written another incredibly powerful song.
00:35:16.200 I want to play it in its entirety
00:35:17.480 and then bring in the one and only John Kahn.
00:35:20.340 Let's go ahead and let her rip. 1.00
00:35:21.080 Let's go ahead and let her rip. 1.00
00:35:36.740 When I was ten laid on the bed and cried
00:35:45.700 No one could hear me
00:35:49.140 No one could hear me
00:35:53.420 Thought there's gotta be a reason for my life
00:35:58.540 But who believed me
00:36:01.500 Who believed me
00:36:06.160 I don't wanna be someone who dies
00:36:09.840 With everything I am locked up inside
00:36:12.900 Wondered if anything was really mine
00:36:17.040 I didn't know there was more I could lose
00:36:23.640 Up in the sky I could only see blue
00:36:29.360 But if my eyes were really open
00:36:34.320 I would've found the clues
00:36:38.000 I would've heard you say there's nothing you can't do
00:36:41.680 I got my fingerprints on you
00:36:45.360 I've seen way too many heartbreaks to understand
00:37:01.040 What you wanted
00:37:04.720 What you wanted
00:37:09.400 I could paint me part of any plan
00:37:13.460 That's always haunted
00:37:16.900 That's always haunted me
00:37:21.400 And I didn't know there was more I could lose
00:37:27.080 Up in the sky I could only see blue
00:37:32.760 But if my eyes were really open
00:37:36.440 But if my eyes were really open
00:37:38.440 I would've found the clues
00:37:40.500 And when I heard you say there's nothing you can't do
00:37:46.180 But if my eyes were really open
00:37:48.180 I would've found my fingerprints on you
00:37:49.860 And now that little boy
00:37:55.860 He cries
00:37:57.860 For all the years and years
00:38:01.540 Of all that he denied
00:38:03.540 He ain't looking for a reason
00:38:08.540 Cause he knows now that believe
00:38:11.540 That he'd be alive
00:38:13.540 When it gets dark
00:38:20.420 And it's so hard to breathe
00:38:23.520 You'll be right there
00:38:26.720 And I know you won't leave
00:38:29.460 It took a long, long time to get here
00:38:34.660 But I know now what I need
00:38:37.240 Cause even in the darkness I can see
00:38:42.540 Even in the darkness I can see
00:38:48.360 You got your fingerprints on me
00:38:51.980 You got your fingerprints on me
00:39:04.840 John Kahn, Fingerprints
00:39:12.920 John, when you first became part of this movement
00:39:15.220 I think it was for two years
00:39:17.080 You had to go around
00:39:19.120 Because you were coming out of Hollywood
00:39:20.500 You were out of Hollywood
00:39:21.420 And you were known in Hollywood
00:39:23.020 You couldn't even reveal
00:39:24.440 It was so vicious back then
00:39:26.360 You couldn't even reveal your identity
00:39:28.560 It was a front page story in the Wall Street Journal
00:39:30.880 When you did
00:39:31.520 Because you had written so many
00:39:32.700 You wrote the anthem for the Tea Party
00:39:34.600 And American Heart
00:39:35.220 But you also wrote more songs
00:39:36.420 What's Fingerprints?
00:39:38.580 Tell me the evolution
00:39:39.960 Cause people know
00:39:41.440 Because they love you
00:39:42.320 That your house
00:39:43.180 Everything you had
00:39:44.860 Burned down in the Palisades fire
00:39:46.900 What is Fingerprints about?
00:39:49.200 What's the evolution here?
00:39:50.960 So, you know, Steve
00:39:52.820 You've known me a long time
00:39:53.720 Thanks for having me
00:39:54.480 And hi to the posse out there 0.62
00:39:56.440 You know, about five years ago
00:39:59.120 I was in Nashville
00:40:00.620 In a writer's room
00:40:02.040 Which you go into a room
00:40:03.720 With somebody you don't know
00:40:04.740 And you pick up guitars
00:40:06.340 You talk
00:40:06.800 You start writing songs
00:40:07.980 So I met a guy named Michael Farron
00:40:10.520 Who was the son of a preacher
00:40:12.140 And we just talked for two hours
00:40:15.820 And just talked about life
00:40:17.500 And we didn't even pick up guitars
00:40:18.820 And at the end of our conversation
00:40:21.220 He looked at me
00:40:21.780 And he said
00:40:22.080 You know, you talk like a Christian 1.00
00:40:23.620 And I said
00:40:25.200 I didn't even know what that meant
00:40:26.260 Because, you know, I grew up in L.A.
00:40:27.820 My family
00:40:28.460 There was no faith
00:40:30.120 There was no religion 0.99
00:40:30.960 And, you know, in godless L.A.
00:40:34.480 And, you know, so I started exploring
00:40:36.720 What that meant
00:40:37.280 I asked him what it meant
00:40:38.140 He said
00:40:38.500 You just have a seeker's heart 1.00
00:40:40.000 He says
00:40:40.660 I can tell that you're yearning
00:40:41.800 For something more
00:40:42.780 To be part of something greater
00:40:44.460 Than yourself
00:40:45.100 So I tucked that away
00:40:46.640 And I started having conversations
00:40:48.220 With a lot of people
00:40:49.160 About God and faith
00:40:50.320 I started going to church
00:40:51.880 For the first time in my life
00:40:53.040 This was only a few years ago
00:40:54.200 And I started to like
00:40:56.160 What it did for me
00:40:57.180 And I liked the notion
00:40:59.020 Of being, you know
00:41:00.080 You know, accountable
00:41:01.980 To something greater than myself
00:41:03.640 And I just
00:41:05.760 You know, it just made me feel
00:41:07.740 A certain way
00:41:08.480 I started behaving differently
00:41:09.980 Not that I was behaving badly
00:41:11.280 But it just made me think
00:41:13.000 About what I was doing
00:41:14.060 And how I was responding to things
00:41:16.060 And finally, you know
00:41:18.620 As I started to explore this
00:41:20.040 Like interesting things
00:41:21.020 Started to happen
00:41:21.840 And you know
00:41:22.320 Like people came into my life
00:41:23.880 That I hadn't seen in 15 years
00:41:25.260 A girlfriend of mine
00:41:26.160 Who's a screenwriter
00:41:27.560 Says 0.93
00:41:27.900 She came back
00:41:29.040 I hadn't spoken to her
00:41:29.700 In 15 years
00:41:30.220 She goes
00:41:30.540 I'm writing a script
00:41:31.580 About faith
00:41:33.020 I want you to read it
00:41:33.940 All these kind of things
00:41:35.140 Started to happen to me
00:41:36.160 And then I was talking
00:41:36.900 To our mutual friend
00:41:37.940 Winton
00:41:38.260 And I was telling him
00:41:41.220 All these stories
00:41:41.800 And he said
00:41:42.280 You know, John
00:41:42.860 I've never seen God
00:41:44.740 Chase anybody
00:41:45.480 Like he's chasing you
00:41:46.480 He's got his fingerprints
00:41:47.380 All over you
00:41:48.160 And I tucked that away
00:41:51.060 And I thought
00:41:52.160 That's the name of a song
00:41:53.620 And that's something
00:41:55.140 That's
00:41:55.440 So the song was originally
00:41:57.520 About my exploration of faith
00:42:00.280 And the journey
00:42:00.780 That I was on
00:42:01.700 And I had written it
00:42:03.480 You know, it's been ready
00:42:04.780 For about a year and a half
00:42:05.820 And then I wrote Fighter
00:42:06.780 And that kind of took precedence
00:42:08.800 I didn't release the song
00:42:10.040 Because I didn't
00:42:11.520 I was so new to faith
00:42:12.820 That I didn't want to
00:42:14.040 You know, go into an area
00:42:16.000 Where I felt like
00:42:16.880 You know, I was treading
00:42:17.900 Where I didn't belong
00:42:18.800 And then I had many
00:42:19.740 Conversations with people
00:42:20.740 And they said
00:42:21.100 Look, you wouldn't have
00:42:21.740 Those words
00:42:22.420 Unless God wanted you
00:42:24.080 To have those words
00:42:24.900 So, ironically
00:42:27.560 What happened
00:42:28.180 After I wrote the song
00:42:30.220 I had a series
00:42:31.740 Of really rough times
00:42:33.600 I had a breakup
00:42:34.580 With a girlfriend 0.84
00:42:35.220 My mom passed away
00:42:36.500 My dad fell
00:42:38.180 Had surgery
00:42:38.980 And then my house
00:42:40.400 Burned down
00:42:40.960 And so I thought
00:42:43.160 But I never lost faith
00:42:44.400 And I always had a piece
00:42:46.020 That things were going
00:42:46.680 To work out
00:42:47.340 And so I thought
00:42:49.220 What better time
00:42:49.880 To release a song like this
00:42:51.180 Than in the middle of a storm
00:42:52.380 So let me get this right
00:42:57.220 In this journey
00:42:58.520 You wrote the song
00:43:00.360 You obviously
00:43:02.020 Looked like
00:43:03.080 Made the video
00:43:03.780 And you never released it
00:43:05.420 But it only came
00:43:06.380 You only thought
00:43:07.000 That you should release it
00:43:08.180 Or you should put it out there
00:43:09.320 For the public
00:43:09.960 After your house
00:43:11.260 Burned down on the Palisades
00:43:12.480 Well, no
00:43:13.640 I was always going
00:43:14.380 To release it
00:43:15.000 But then I just happened
00:43:15.960 You know, it took me
00:43:17.140 A while to get
00:43:17.860 You know, because I felt
00:43:18.980 Like such a newbie to it
00:43:20.200 I just didn't know
00:43:22.040 If it was my place
00:43:22.960 Because it was so
00:43:23.980 It was something
00:43:24.580 I was exploring
00:43:25.400 And I know it's
00:43:25.980 A very sacred topic
00:43:27.000 And people convinced me
00:43:29.580 Otherwise
00:43:29.960 I just happened to write
00:43:31.060 The song Fighter
00:43:31.900 Which was very time sensitive
00:43:34.180 At the, you know
00:43:34.940 During the election
00:43:35.740 So that came out first
00:43:36.880 And sort of
00:43:37.440 Occupied the last few months
00:43:39.080 Of my life
00:43:39.740 I was planning to release
00:43:41.380 The song at the beginning
00:43:42.400 Of January
00:43:43.100 And then the fires happened
00:43:45.060 And, you know
00:43:45.720 My life took a weird turn
00:43:47.200 And I've been
00:43:47.760 A little bit swamped
00:43:48.740 Trying to figure out
00:43:50.360 What I'm going to do next
00:43:51.500 And then I thought
00:43:52.640 You know what
00:43:52.980 I need to release the song
00:43:54.080 Did the fire
00:43:57.340 And taking away
00:43:58.580 Because your place
00:44:00.300 Was so special
00:44:01.420 You had all your music there
00:44:03.020 Your writing there
00:44:04.020 Was
00:44:05.380 Did the fire rattle
00:44:07.080 This newfound faith
00:44:08.380 Or this beginning
00:44:09.060 Of this faith journey
00:44:10.040 Did that rattle you
00:44:11.120 To say
00:44:11.700 Go back and say
00:44:12.660 What is this all worth
00:44:14.340 Or, you know
00:44:14.820 Maybe there isn't a God
00:44:15.960 Or God would have not
00:44:16.920 Done this to me
00:44:17.700 If there was a fair God
00:44:18.860 Or if a God
00:44:19.420 That loved me
00:44:20.120 You know
00:44:21.300 What was the impact
00:44:22.920 Of the fire
00:44:23.480 I didn't think that
00:44:25.260 I
00:44:26.360 I had a strange
00:44:28.440 Piece about it
00:44:29.300 I even
00:44:29.720 You know
00:44:30.500 I spent six weeks
00:44:31.440 On my dad's sofa
00:44:32.420 And my dad
00:44:33.060 Is not a believer 0.99
00:44:34.200 And, you know
00:44:36.020 He and I
00:44:36.440 Weren't always very close
00:44:37.840 But we've gotten very close
00:44:39.160 In the last couple years
00:44:40.420 And he's 93 years old now
00:44:42.020 And about
00:44:43.840 Four weeks after
00:44:45.600 After the fire
00:44:46.740 And I'm still
00:44:47.260 You know
00:44:47.620 Trying to process
00:44:48.300 What happened
00:44:48.900 And every time
00:44:49.980 I would say to him
00:44:50.640 I'm going to go
00:44:51.120 To church on Sunday
00:44:51.980 I'm going to church
00:44:53.020 Right now
00:44:53.500 He was very accepting
00:44:55.120 Of it
00:44:55.620 But there was always
00:44:56.760 This little bit of
00:44:57.560 Really, you're going
00:44:58.140 To church
00:44:58.620 And, but he
00:45:00.300 So there was always
00:45:01.200 Just a little bit
00:45:01.880 Of a push and pull
00:45:02.780 But I
00:45:03.200 But I said to him
00:45:03.860 About three weeks
00:45:04.520 I walked into his bedroom
00:45:05.540 And I said, you know
00:45:06.340 I don't think I could be
00:45:08.420 Handling this situation
00:45:09.500 As well as I am
00:45:10.440 Had I not gone down
00:45:11.480 This road of faith
00:45:12.340 And he looked at me
00:45:13.940 At 93 years old
00:45:14.880 And he said
00:45:15.380 I 100% agree with you
00:45:17.080 Which I thought
00:45:18.060 Was a pretty big moment
00:45:19.040 For him and for me
00:45:20.340 Wow
00:45:21.500 Wow
00:45:22.800 You say that
00:45:25.620 You know
00:45:25.920 In doing this
00:45:26.580 In this journey of faith
00:45:27.520 All of a sudden
00:45:28.100 Somebody comes up
00:45:28.940 And says
00:45:29.260 Hey, I've got a script
00:45:30.020 On faith
00:45:30.520 So many things
00:45:31.420 Are opening up to you
00:45:32.480 That maybe
00:45:33.100 Have not opened up before
00:45:34.600 If you didn't have
00:45:35.260 The secret's heart now
00:45:36.220 On the other side
00:45:37.860 Is there people
00:45:38.480 Because you're
00:45:39.140 Folks should know
00:45:40.360 Both Andrew and John
00:45:42.120 Are kind of guys' guys
00:45:43.780 They always have people around
00:45:45.160 You're, you're, you know
00:45:46.200 You're very funny
00:45:47.280 And people love to be with you
00:45:48.860 Have you seen in your previous
00:45:50.180 That you've lost friends
00:45:52.920 Or the situations
00:45:53.780 You don't want to be in
00:45:54.680 Or things you don't do anymore
00:45:55.940 I think, I think when you
00:45:58.600 You'll like this story
00:46:00.400 Steve
00:46:01.260 A Navy SEAL once told me
00:46:03.020 You know
00:46:03.320 When I got to know him
00:46:04.160 I asked him once
00:46:04.960 Are you
00:46:05.460 When you're on patrol
00:46:07.860 In Afghanistan
00:46:08.600 Or wherever you are
00:46:09.380 Are you always looking
00:46:10.160 For the bad things
00:46:11.820 Are you always on the lookout
00:46:12.820 And he said
00:46:14.080 No, I'm always looking
00:46:14.940 For the beautiful things
00:46:16.040 And I said
00:46:17.380 Why is that?
00:46:18.260 He says
00:46:18.660 When you look for the beautiful things
00:46:19.880 All the bad things stand out
00:46:21.320 And that story
00:46:22.600 Really stuck with me
00:46:23.460 So
00:46:23.780 When you're on a journey
00:46:25.260 Like this
00:46:25.740 You look for the good
00:46:26.900 And so
00:46:28.140 When
00:46:28.860 It makes you able
00:46:30.180 To identify
00:46:31.020 Kind of the
00:46:32.180 The energy
00:46:33.160 That you don't want
00:46:34.000 To be around
00:46:34.480 The people that you
00:46:35.240 Don't want to be around
00:46:36.100 Who might not be
00:46:36.700 On the same journey
00:46:37.480 I don't think
00:46:38.440 I've lost friends
00:46:39.220 As much as I've gained
00:46:40.480 A lot of friends
00:46:41.280 From this process
00:46:43.080 And met so many
00:46:44.220 Amazingly kind people
00:46:45.520 Through it
00:46:46.120 Now with
00:46:50.160 And Fighter
00:46:50.880 People remember
00:46:51.580 That's an incredibly
00:46:52.600 Moving power ballot
00:46:54.340 About President Trump
00:46:55.920 And particularly
00:46:56.440 President Trump
00:46:57.060 With the assassination attempt
00:46:58.140 With this
00:46:59.140 And now fingerprints
00:46:59.920 Are you going to
00:47:00.680 Back in the studio
00:47:01.700 Is this going to lead
00:47:02.520 To an entire album
00:47:03.960 Are you going to put these out
00:47:04.780 One at a time
00:47:05.900 Because

00:47:11.400 So what's the future hold
00:47:13.000 Well I think I'm going to
00:47:15.000 I'm trying to
00:47:15.700 You know pick up
00:47:16.300 The pieces after the fire
00:47:17.640 I'm going to relocate
00:47:18.900 To Nashville
00:47:19.460 In about a month
00:47:20.440 And I'm going to
00:47:21.540 Hang there for six months
00:47:22.880 And I write a lot
00:47:23.940 Of music there
00:47:24.640 And I think
00:47:26.140 I've got a buddy
00:47:26.920 Named Jeff Steele
00:47:27.760 Who's in the Nashville
00:47:28.600 Hall of Fame
00:47:29.120 An amazing songwriter
00:47:30.180 And he always said
00:47:31.540 Just write what's in your heart
00:47:32.800 And you know
00:47:34.560 So there are certain things
00:47:35.500 That I get inspired
00:47:36.540 To write about
00:47:37.340 Usually they're
00:47:38.440 Kind of tough situations
00:47:39.620 But I'm just going to keep
00:47:42.720 You know
00:47:43.700 Sitting down at the piano
00:47:44.680 Picking up the guitar
00:47:45.600 And seeing what comes to me
00:47:46.680 Usually
00:47:46.900 Fighter
00:47:47.440 American Heart Fighter
00:47:49.300 And this song
00:47:50.580 Fingerprints
00:47:51.080 Came very quickly to me
00:47:52.420 And usually that's a good sign
00:47:53.800 So I'm just going to keep writing
00:47:55.440 Because that's what they
00:47:56.160 Always tell me to do
00:47:56.880 In Nashville
00:47:57.280 Just keep writing
00:47:58.040 That's a pretty good foundation

00:49:07.020 Who dies
00:49:08.140 With everything
00:49:09.000 I am locked up inside
00:49:11.220 Wondered if anything
00:49:13.160 Was really mine
00:49:15.520 I didn't know
00:49:18.640 There was more
00:49:19.900 I could lose
00:49:21.960 Up in the sky
00:49:24.780 I could only see blue
00:49:27.560 But if my eyes were really open
00:49:32.820 I would have found the clues
00:49:35.840 I would have heard you say
00:49:38.060 There's nothing you can't do
00:49:40.900 I got my fingerprints on you
00:49:43.440 Oh yeah
00:49:50.300 I've seen way too many heartbreaks
00:49:58.000 To understand
00:49:59.600 What you wanted
00:50:02.600 What you wanted
00:50:06.940 How could pain be part of any plan
00:50:11.700 That's always haunted
00:50:15.220 That's always haunted me
00:50:19.860 And I didn't know
00:50:21.840 There was more
00:50:23.000 That I could lose
00:50:24.880 Up in the sky
00:50:27.920 I could only see blue
00:50:30.820 But if my eyes were really open
00:50:35.800 I would have found the clues
00:50:38.920 I would have heard you say
00:50:41.160 There's nothing you can't do
00:50:44.060 I got my fingerprints on you
00:50:46.520 And now that little boy
00:50:53.900 He cries
00:50:56.840 For all the years and years
00:51:00.240 Of all that he denied
00:51:02.380 He ain't looking for a reason
00:51:07.400 Cause he knows now
00:51:09.240 That believing ain't a lie
