00:00:58.000
this is the primal scream of a dying regime pray for our enemies because we're going with the evil
00:01:18.900
on these people here's not got a free shot all these networks lying about the people the people
00:01:25.500
had a belly full of it i know you don't like hearing that i know you try to do everything
00:01:29.420
in the world to stop that but you're not going to stop it it's going to happen and where do people
00:01:33.000
like that go to share the big line mega media i wish in my soul i wish that any of these people
00:01:40.820
had a conscience ask yourself what is my task and what is my purpose if that answer is to save my
00:01:48.760
country this country will be saved war room here's your host stephen k bann
00:01:55.880
it's holy thursday it's the 17th april in the year of our lord 2025 uh we had to this morning on the
00:02:07.360
show of uh the individual george aminian running for the president of romania in the sovereignty
00:02:12.800
party uh as you know as we do this coverage for brazil or france uh in the united states the
00:02:19.540
legal system of the globalist is all over uh trying to um trying to destroy the sovereignty
00:02:26.580
movement throughout the world the kind of the mega movement that's going global um in korea i think is
00:02:32.240
the most dangerous part of this they've had a coup a coup that the chinese communist party was in back
00:02:38.740
of uh now things are getting sorted out there's going to be a new election colonel john mills is
00:02:43.900
with me and mina kim mina from build up korea mina let me start with you what did we just see there
00:02:49.700
because it it seems like there was this intense period around the coup right to remove the existing
00:02:57.340
president now things are getting sorted about the election to just walk me through the intensity of
00:03:02.040
what we saw a week or so ago where we are today and where are we heading towards on this uh on this
00:03:07.440
election sure i would love to um so things are pretty intense in korea right now with the court's
00:03:14.100
decision to unanimously impeach the president there's certainly a lot of controversy surrounding
00:03:19.160
the martial law declaration which has caused the impeachment the timing the way it's handled
00:03:24.620
some of these are regrettable regrettable in many ways um but however one thing that came out of the
00:03:31.040
whole process is that it opened the eyes of the people to the deep corruption within the government
00:03:35.800
so the video you see right now here is um there's this movement happening called yoon again um but
00:03:42.160
from what president yoon himself has said it's not about him running again he's saying that it's more
00:03:47.260
like a korean version of maga movement which is an effort to inspire people to elect a leader who will
00:03:53.540
make korea great again not and not necessarily him and right now there are about um five or six big
00:04:00.000
names in the conservative field uh but no one's really dominating in the race uh there's a prime
00:04:06.160
minister han which we'll talk about later um he's acting president right now is not officially running
00:04:12.400
but people are talking about him um he's someone who understands foreign policy really well especially
00:04:18.640
because he used to be um korea's ambassador to the u.s and he tends to appeal to moderates as well as
00:04:24.280
conservatives talk to me is the um in the yoon again are people awakening to the fact that outside
00:04:35.420
influence chinese communist party and others influences were there to actually drive this
00:04:41.080
thing and and to actually have yoon uh removed and and pretty extraordinary in korean politics to
00:04:47.020
actually have him removed from office of course it definitely had an influence i think and one of the
00:04:52.380
biggest threats um korea is facing right now is china's growing influence inside korea um there's
00:04:58.640
ton of ccp espionage going on including drones flying over military bases hacking into government
00:05:05.640
systems that kind of thing and one hack even leaked identities of the black op agents korean black op
00:05:12.440
agents and sensitive military data and it's not just the cyber stuff the chinese have been buying up
00:05:18.160
over 50 percent of jeju island which is the top vacation spot in korea is now owned by chinese
00:05:24.920
investors and there's also a province called jola province which is kind of like california of korea
00:05:31.940
chinese companies are making massive investments there as well and here's the part where that really
00:05:38.120
worries me in korea foreigners can be can vote in local elections if they've lived here for just three
00:05:46.120
years as permanent residents and that population is growing fast most of them are chinese um so now
00:05:52.640
we've got foreign nationals who aren't even citizens voting in our elections which is very wild and it's
00:05:58.380
very familiar um and the last serious matter is that the democratic party of korea is against
00:06:04.720
punishing chinese spies under korea's espionage law even though they're clearly a growing threat in korea
00:06:12.120
where are young people coming out where are people under 30 coming out on on this issue are they are
00:06:20.080
they getting more anti-american are they closer to america they like what they see in the mega movement
00:06:25.460
are they uh be you know getting closer to china i know korean pop is some of the uh most influential
00:06:34.020
and biggest of all not just music but cultural influences in asia and particularly east asia so where
00:06:40.900
are the young people coming out on this so young people in korea are impacted by social media such
00:06:47.900
as instagram or even x we're not big x users but with uh elon musk in america a lot of korean young
00:06:54.960
generation have been um getting into x most lately um and the one of the concern is though we don't have
00:07:02.180
a major conservative media outlet in korea and i i'd say about 99 of the media leans left and a lot of
00:07:08.700
young population are affected by the media as well but they are slowly realizing um what the media is
00:07:15.160
doing is very corrupt and especially with the fact that there's this one um broadcasting center media
00:07:22.200
in korea which is considered a mainstream media um they were actually going under seriously and all of a
00:07:28.800
sudden china's it company called tencent they pumped 10 billion dollars into them and now the outlet is super
00:07:35.700
pro china and pro left and not really pushing for korean interests anymore so korean young generation
00:07:41.740
are under 30 or 30s are realizing that the media is already bought up by chinese forces and something's
00:07:48.480
wrong so um and then uh with the whole president trump and elon musk doge exposing uh government
00:07:55.900
corruption in america they're slowly thinking that korea also has the same problem and they're getting
00:08:02.400
deeper into this issue well colonel mills uh give me your assessment you've been on this for a number
00:08:09.700
of years uh you were the first to give us a heads up that said hey something's happening with yun and
00:08:15.000
they're going to try to make a move on him and clearly they did which is still the most outrageous
00:08:18.740
thing to remove yun uh from office in what was a coup d'etat um where do we stand today sir
00:08:24.720
well thank you uh steve the uh what we have is a massive dereliction of duty within the u.s
00:08:32.920
government to even understand what's going on now some of this is absolutely intentional
00:08:38.140
we have an acting ambassador over there yun y-u-n uh i don't know him personally but i've had several
00:08:48.420
reports he actually was even after the election and he and even after the inauguration i'm talking
00:08:56.740
about the american election november he was actively coordinating with the democrat party of south korea
00:09:03.800
and essentially ignoring and not not uh so he was a partisan so i think we have a huge problem over
00:09:11.620
there right now we need to get a mega ambassador or somebody right-minded okay so here's what but
00:09:19.860
here's what here's what i don't understand south korea has been one of our best allies ever we still
00:09:26.520
have 28 000 combat troops there south korea is what that south korea and australia had our back
00:09:33.360
even during the vietnam war um how could this go i mean i'm upset enough and we're working people
00:09:40.920
should know we're working with it so fact whatever on issues related to brazil why does it appear and
00:09:48.260
at this time you know they're flying over they're trying we're trying to work out a big trade deal
00:09:52.660
with korea why does it seem like we're a little bit asleep at the switch of what's going on in south
00:09:59.340
korea since it's um you know it's always been called what the knife that's pointed at uh at japan
00:10:06.140
it's on you know it's part of mainland asia uh we fought a massive war there with the chinese back
00:10:11.720
in the 50s i think it was 500 000 chinese troops overran the marines there uh in the army uh this
00:10:19.320
has been something we've been you know involved with since uh world war ii in the 1950s this was
00:10:26.540
always a priority when i was in the seventh fleet we would do combined exercises with the korean navy
00:10:32.900
this is when the japanese navy really wasn't because of their their post-world war ii defense
00:10:37.580
pack really were quite by uh institutionally were pacifist the korean navy was the navy in the east
00:10:46.500
china sea and really in the south china sea in the straits of taiwan because the taiwanese navy
00:10:50.440
was very small and their land forces they're some of the best combat troops in the world
00:10:56.320
i'm just stunned that we're kind of on our back heels when it's so obvious and people you know
00:11:04.060
and people we know that the chinese communist party which is at economic war with us and now
00:11:09.280
we're fully engaged on a global basis right there in east asia they've had a coup and just use guess
00:11:16.600
what uh the the the phoniness of an election and people questioning that like donald trump did and we
00:11:23.620
did and we still continue to do in in romania this morning right you've got issues with bolsonaras on
00:11:30.040
trial uh uh you know across the world how how is it that we seem like we're on our back foot on this
00:11:36.800
so the american footprint over there is dominated we'll just let's just call them what they are
00:11:45.660
we call them tour babies and i'm talking about both the uniform military and even our intelligence
00:11:51.620
community and uh and state department staff the tour babies which are oftentimes they have uh they have
00:11:58.660
spouses that are related to korea they're over there living the good life and they are often ignorant as
00:12:03.900
to what's really going on on the ground moon jn replaced the top 400 military and intelligence
00:12:13.220
officers that had a close relationship and the american uh counterpart just said hmm okay wow all these
00:12:20.980
people just got replaced okay we'll deal with the new force that uh moon jn put in we gotta i'm sorry
00:12:27.920
hang on slow down slow down slow down slow down stop i want to make sure the audience understands that hit
00:12:33.200
rewind what did you say when did it happen because it's pretty shocking right but i don't think a lot
00:12:39.580
of folks understand that walk us through that again of and how we accepted this as a government
00:12:45.480
walk me through that well this was during uh the biden years but moon jn uh replaced uh summarily
00:12:52.980
maybe even incarcerated maybe even executed the 400 at least top uniform military leaders of south korea
00:13:03.660
and the k cia uh the cia equivalent uh so he did a massive purge and our u.s government response from
00:13:15.300
the deep stater elites was ho-hum this was shocking we should have had alarm bells going off but again
00:13:22.420
it looks like and the usa bumper sticker is all over the korea uh the national election commission and a
00:13:29.700
web over there so it looks like we were we had both people asleep and people in cahoots with the coup
00:13:37.320
that was going on over there um what is our current status right now the state of play the election i
00:13:46.180
think they have to identify they have to they have to come forward and say we're actually going to run
00:13:50.340
i think by may 3rd saturday the 3rd or sunday the 4th then we have election but what's what what do you
00:13:58.560
i like mina go ahead please oh no no john hang on hang on hang on hang on a second john i want you to
00:14:07.700
answer that give me the state of play in your assessment it's they're forming and storming there was
00:14:14.120
great anguish after the uh constitutional court decision which i am concerned they were actually just
00:14:22.640
a feud on april 1st april 2nd it was looking like they were going to actually restore uh president
00:14:29.360
yoon y-o-o-n president yoon uh to his position and essentially uh vacate the impeachment and then
00:14:37.860
somebody talked to them and they flipped all eight went against uh yoon y-o-o-n so this is just shameful
00:14:46.060
i think they're rallying now there was a sense of despair shock but i think they're
00:14:52.400
getting to rally and uh you know the top four uh na kim uh hung han i mean i think they just got
00:15:01.400
to form and storm around somebody who can win and i think it's a pot everybody most koreans know
00:15:08.860
lee of the democrat party is is uh let's just face it he's a crook and he's a he's a shill for the
00:15:15.460
for the communist party and this is very important this is not north korea anymore this is communist
00:15:20.700
china they are the puppet masters uh mina the same question and particularly given i think the
00:15:29.540
critical path here is the third or fourth you've got a couple people out there isn't i've seen
00:15:34.600
recent polling over the last couple days are people rallying rallying to the prime minister
00:15:39.860
because he's kind of last man standing i think the mayor of soul has already announced he's not
00:15:44.440
going to run so does it look like it's coming around or starting to revolve around was it the
00:15:49.340
prime minister um who's left behind or where do we stand right now in your your mind yes there are so
00:15:57.320
many divisions even within the conservative party when it comes to the candidates um we do have five
00:16:02.920
or six major candidates that are running right now and prime minister han did not run yet um he is
00:16:09.860
thinking about it because the population korean population especially young generation approves him
00:16:15.440
as being the former um ambassador to the united states and he knows america really well and even
00:16:21.680
with the um recent cnn interview of him about the tariff um prime minister han addressed the tariff issue
00:16:29.340
um basically saying that we're not here to fight against the united states um if we can find a good
00:16:34.540
mutual agreement um he thinks that the u.s might be opening to open to adjusting those tariffs and he
00:16:41.700
emphasized um staying cooperative and keeping the conversation going with president smart which is
00:16:47.080
um which is president trump which is very smart um and then the cnn reporter tried to push him which
00:16:53.040
kind of like a lot of young people in korea like this um cnn reporter said if the u.s is korea's friend
00:17:00.400
is this how a friend acts but then prime minister han responded saying every even friendship should
00:17:07.080
be rewarded sometimes um so he was basically acknowledging president trump's 25 percent tariff
00:17:12.560
suggestion um but he made it clear that korea wants to work with the u.s and not against it
00:17:17.620
and this is definitely a um important um point for young people in korea to support prime minister
00:17:24.700
han as being the next president as well but there are definitely um different candidates that are
00:17:29.580
up there they're still up there don't you have a winning out is it the third or fourth that you
00:17:35.420
you come down and basically there's a process where you get down to basically two candidates or is it
00:17:41.120
yes is this multi-party as we run up walk people that's right um within the conservative party for the
00:17:48.040
primary you get to have two uh top candidates in the last minute and then you decide among those two
00:17:55.480
whoever gets the majority vote um will become the nominator nominate nomination of the conservative
00:18:02.280
party and how that gets decided is by the uh vote from the conservative party members which is the 50
00:18:08.720
percent of it and then the rest of the 50 percent comes from the um this is a little weird part but
00:18:15.180
popular uh poll so which can be manipulated anytime so that's how the conservative party uh a nomination
00:18:24.700
gets decided um john mills what should the united states be doing right now in your mind
00:18:32.660
to assist our ally here to get through this time of turbulence well number one get a mega-minded
00:18:40.180
ambassador over there immediately and remove in advance that even remove uh the acting ambassador
00:18:47.740
uh he's a careerist i don't know him personally but my experience with career ambassadors is that
00:18:54.500
about 97 percent uh globalist uh and closet anti-americans third is we should also form an election
00:19:03.760
observation group let's hire let's just like elon musk let's let's form a cell of five ten uh personalities
00:19:11.920
to go over there in special government employee status that's 18 u.s code 202 to be uh just the
00:19:18.800
presence of an american delegation appointed by trump to observe the election is going to have
00:19:26.260
huge deterrent impact against election malfeasance
00:19:30.480
amazing uh mina any closing thoughts here on holy thursday as we uh this election i think takes place in
00:19:39.140
the final election is in late may am i correct mid to late may um the primary election is the early
00:19:46.160
may actually early may and then when's the general election the general election 30 days after that
00:19:52.880
june 3rd so 30 days after the eve of tiananmen square talk about intense um mina closing thoughts
00:20:00.460
where do you think we are right now what should people in the united states be thinking of what
00:20:04.460
assistance does korea need our great friends and allies in korea of course um i would say this
00:20:10.360
june election in korea is huge if a conservative president does not win we're basically handing over
00:20:16.760
are too far left the legislature and judiciary are already leaning that way and then the presidency is the
00:20:24.440
last thing that's holding the line and i want to emphasize that korea is the only country in asia
00:20:30.620
that's built on judeo-christian values and which is interesting is that our first president which
00:20:36.840
is our founding father literally read the u.s declaration of independence and was inspired to
00:20:42.860
build the republic of korea and today you know korea sends out more missionaries than any other
00:20:48.240
country except the u.s we're second in the world and that i want to say korea is part of america's
00:20:54.580
legacy and i really thank you for that and if america especially leaders like president trump
00:20:59.720
or you see fanon um can speak up and show support for korean conservatives during this election
00:21:05.860
this would make a massive difference even though there's a um some kind of anti-american spirit going
00:21:12.660
around um in part of korea but korean people still love america koreans would line up in front of five
00:21:19.960
guys which just entered korea um for three to four hours to get a burger american burger so that's how
00:21:25.860
much we love america so at this moment if you stand with korea we'll recover our freedom and
00:21:32.460
stand firmly with america and we will fight together in this spiritual battle and that's unfolding right
00:21:38.240
now in the world i mean i don't think there could be a better message to uh america on holy thursday
00:21:44.640
than yours and our great uh allies and uh compatriots in korea this is a fight that's absolutely
00:21:51.480
essential particularly when the forces of darkness have been in back the black hand of the ccp has
00:21:56.280
been all over this and the korean people have gone through too much too many wars have you know
00:22:02.280
struggled and now have the ability to have some prosperity they need peace they don't need to be
00:22:07.600
sucked into the ccp's orbit right now particularly given all the evil that the chinese communist party
00:22:13.440
has done to their own people and they intend to do the people of east asia uh mina where can uh build up
00:22:19.720

north koreans they're nasty this is the chinese communist party pulling a coup right in front of us we got

00:24:11.680
town but amina mentioned jeju island uh korea has a magnificent powerful navy if china could get their
00:24:20.920
hands on jeju island essentially they control the north uh yellow sea and prevent any uh any uh
00:24:28.600
intrusion by any allied ships this is this is geopolitical strategy the great game in progress

00:30:51.040
tips all these little things that it's somewhat of a distraction from the ongoing and raise taxes on
00:30:58.080
the wealthy he said it last week is that coming it's coming but what about the tax cut for the wealthy
00:31:03.000
isn't that coming no no no it's going to be extended he's not going to extend the tax cuts for
00:31:06.920
for the wealthy he's going to no tax on tips no tax on social security and no tax on overtime so you're
00:31:12.220
saying all the donors are about to get a tax hike they're already they're already screaming but he
00:31:16.800
said he told the senate that he's open to when the extending the tax cuts not extend open to so no no
00:31:23.740
no but he's already i think and it's got best in the secretary of treasury i think is working on this
00:31:27.480
not to extend it to the upper bracket or make a new bracket anything congress is going to pass that
00:31:32.360
knowing who they get their money from they do whatever he tells them to do president trump
00:31:36.440
comes in and says they do it he'll okay so so the steve bennon plan is that republicans are going to
00:31:42.080
abandon the donor class and then what's going to happen in 2020 where else are they going to go
00:31:46.540
we got total leverage over them where else are they going to go well there's another election
00:31:50.300
coming up they're going in the midterms and the thing but where else they're going to go you if
00:31:53.980
you don't restore if you don't restore the economic viabilities the working class the middle class
00:31:58.780
and you have to do that by sealing the border right so it's not flooded with with illegal alien
00:32:05.360
labor number two is the terrorists bring manufacturing jobs back and the third is that
00:32:09.940
working class and middle class people need a tax cut they need no tax on tips no tax on overtime and
00:32:15.000
most importantly no tax on social security that's another 500 billion a year we have to come with
00:32:19.800
that that's why it's going to be a huge fight but yeah democrats and progressives had control
00:32:25.660
in 2021 in those first 100 days and they put up a note taxing the billionaires and didn't even get
00:32:31.720
out of committee president trump and the maga movement will raise taxes on the wealthy all right
00:32:36.380
i just think it's bad for the economy now on the other hand it just seems to go against everything
00:32:41.740
donald trump has ever believed in i mean i think he's always understood this um and i've been
00:32:47.540
reading the same things you've been reading and frankly i just haven't been believing it
00:32:51.260
well i i don't think it's going to happen but it's a threat and we've got you know my old friend
00:32:56.760
bob novak you remember bob novak from evans novak used to say the only reason god put republicans on
00:33:02.060
theirs is to cut our taxes and if they're raising them i don't i think it's going to split our party
00:33:06.560
i think republicans will lose the midterm elections don't go there you remember what happened in 1992
00:33:12.400
remember when bush raised taxes we lost everything right uh pretty unbelievable to be honest um i i'm
00:33:21.460
just i'm at this point because of reconciliation i mean what republicans would go forward with a tax
00:33:31.280
increase when they should be making the the trump tax cuts permanent eliminating tax on tips social
00:33:37.920
security and overtime because that's what the president promised why would they go in any other
00:33:42.340
direction because they're worried that democrats are going to say what they always say tax cuts for
00:33:47.780
the rich when in fact after the trump tax cut of 2017 the share of taxes and the amount of taxes paid
00:33:54.200
by the rich went up it didn't go down and quickly on taxes on this tax day all kinds of stuff floating
00:34:00.540
out there we don't have the makings of this bill yet but there's all kinds of trial balloons going out that
00:34:05.500
the top tier could be tax increase there could be a raise in the business corporate tax is that real
00:34:12.080
you know in my day in my experience which has been a couple of years in this game in and out of
00:34:18.720
government i thought it was the republicans that wanted lower taxes and the democrats that wanted
00:34:24.800
higher taxes although i guess that's not always true i thought the republicans wanted to reward success
00:34:31.340
not punishing it this loose talk about a higher top another new bracket uh for millionaires i don't
00:34:38.960
think it's a crime to be a millionaire by the way small businesses would pay this top bracket i do not
00:34:45.200
understand this i can't believe mr trump's going to go along with this he he campaigned on you know
00:34:51.220
extending his tax cuts adding some great middle class tax cuts on tips and overtime and uh seniors
00:34:58.680
that's all good lowering the corporate rate if it's made in america to 15 that's a great inducement
00:35:05.200
for people to onshore that's what he wants why would he want to penalize successful investors
00:35:11.120
successful people who are helping to onshore and successful small businesses that strike it hot i i
00:35:18.440
don't understand and i i can't i can't believe what i'm hearing it's giving me a headache all right tax day
00:35:23.680
should be tax cut day we'll get you some advil and we will uh we'll call it a day but we'll see
00:35:28.820
how it comes together larry thank you so much thank you brett before we get into the all the good stuff
00:35:34.380
in the tax bill i want to uh alert you and your listeners to something i'm hearing that i think is
00:35:39.680
very dangerous so we need to get all conservatives to shout out against this which is that there are
00:35:45.560
some in congress some republicans who want to raise the top income tax rate that that would be a
00:35:51.560
total disaster for those of us who are old enough to remember when george hw bush raised taxes and
00:35:57.760
remember read my lips uh it split the party it it uh it did great damage to the economy and it led to
00:36:04.920
the election of bill flinton so republicans would be making a major mistake if they raised the top
00:36:11.820
rate in fact every time in history by the way my buddy art laffer has a great book out on this called
00:36:17.580
taxes have consequences every time we've raised tax rates the economy has gone into recession
00:36:22.200
that rich have actually paid less taxes and um the burden has shifted to lower income people this is
00:36:28.560
not a way to help america and i just wanted to get out that out there so i want your listeners to
00:36:33.160
call your congressman or senator say do not raise tax rates on anyone that's not what we do as
00:36:37.800
republicans okay this is not what we do with republicans everything you heard from hannity
00:36:43.500
from steve moore and larry kudlow is just spin and and hype first off the bush tech cuts he raised
00:36:50.520
them against everybody this is just taking the top bracket and it's a snapback goes from 37 to 39
00:36:58.080
and maybe a new bracket which i recommend i strongly support of a new bracket of millionaires to go to 40
00:37:04.140
percent we're not doing we're not thinking of people are not pushing this because uh of any kind
00:37:11.100
of you know recriminations or revenge or you know soak the rich that has nothing to do with it
00:37:18.460
it's very much just back to simple math number one you're you're doing this so you can afford
00:37:24.060
additional cuts for the working class in the middle class that would be you this audience
00:37:29.660
right now the tax cuts from president trump are going to be extended and made permanent
00:37:34.140
for you the upper bracket starts i think it's 600 000 or 673 or something like that
00:37:41.500
okay it's not going to be extended for them they will snap back from the 37 to basically the 39
00:37:47.980
if you make over a million dollars you'll be 40 or above and for the bayoners will be 40 percent
00:37:54.860
the um the reason we're doing this and so it's not when they say the bush in 92 they're just lying
00:38:04.780
that was a tax that he raised taxes on everybody that's not happening here because we have to
00:38:10.700
find additional resources for no tax on tips no tax on overtime and no tax on social security for the
00:38:21.500
the two numbers to keep in mind are six and a half percent to three and a half percent
00:38:24.540
president trump's plan as articulated by scott besant but scott besant laid it out many times in the
00:38:32.940
campaign the run-up is to take the deficit these massive deficits from right now six and a half or
00:38:38.940
seven percent of gdp and remember i'm gonna give you some facts all they give you a spin
00:38:44.780
and whining and throwing the toys out of the pram
00:38:52.140
the deficit for the first six months of the year is 1.3 trillion dollars i have told you that we're
00:38:57.980
going to blow through two trillion dollars and i think you're gonna get to two and a half
00:39:01.020
it's not sustainable the financing of the 37 trillion in debt particularly as you're adding
00:39:08.780
essentially a trillion dollars every hundred or so days who's the first person to do that analysis
00:39:14.140
and get it out there you're correct stephen k bannon in this show a year or so ago a couple years ago
00:39:21.820
what besant is focused on is the percentage the six and a half percent we're running
00:39:25.660
as deficit to total gdp at six and a half percent it's not sustainable uh let me note that that's
00:39:33.420
what's happened in france when macron's party was thrown out of the parliament right their congress
00:39:40.540
was thrown out because their solution at six and a half percent they're not it's not sustainable for
00:39:45.740
them they had to get to three three and a half percent which is not great but at least it's livable
00:39:50.460
they went in in and had a whole bunch of uh taxes on working class people in the front national now
00:39:57.740
or national rally said no we want to cut out the globalists we're going to cut the embassies and
00:40:01.980
that's how they got thrown it that's how they shifted over this is why liz trust was turfed out
00:40:09.260
by the bond market you have to get to three three and a half percent how do you do that well number one
00:40:16.620
with the supply side tax cut that we're going to have here and corporate taxes to larry kudlow
00:40:22.540
they're not putting the reason we're not going to agree to and it's ridiculous go to 15 percent
00:40:26.940
is the corporations don't take that money that's saved and put in plant and equipment to build up the
00:40:31.020
united states and to hire more people they game the system and buy equity and game it to drive stock price
00:40:38.140
because all their pay packages warrant packages and option packages they make a fortune they walk away
00:40:43.580
that's not what you can't trust the corporations they're not trustworthy how do i know that look
00:40:48.700
at the dei programs they were the worst they were the commissars the people in the c-suites have no
00:40:54.700
values they don't believe in the judeo-christian west they don't believe in the underlying tenants
00:40:59.020
of this country kind of maybe they you know they they they'll do a commercial with american flag
00:41:04.540
and some cowboys make you feel better right they're american you can tell by their actions
00:41:18.220
six and a half to three and a half percent how you're going to get the number one you
00:41:20.620
with the cut you could grow your way up but even the consensus is around i don't know 2.5 to 3.5 maybe
00:41:27.180
three percent you get the three percent growth you're going to be lucky so you take you take that as the
00:41:32.940
as the denominator and you look at all the tax structure you have today and you'll generate
00:41:36.780
i don't know four and a half trillion dollars of revenue but then you got to cut back no tax on
00:41:43.660
tips no tax on overtime no tax on social security leaves a bigger hole the spending's not being cut
00:41:49.660
if they can show us where the spending's being cut doge show me the money you have to have i'm not
00:41:55.820
trying to dump on anyone's got i'm a big supporter doge but we need to see tangible tangible tangible
00:42:02.140
cuts he's said it was what trained dollars is not going to be then he says 150 billion next year
00:42:07.740
just you know russ vote said hey i'm finding something i'm trying to do something he's got
00:42:11.900
a rescission for 10 billion dollars it's basically optics to take out pbs and npr and to basis do the
00:42:19.500
first part of usaid which has to be done but we have to cut spending you're going to have to cut the
00:42:25.340
defense party don't do that you're never going to cut the social programs of discretionary we'll figure
00:42:29.740
the entire was like just a discretionary now you need a couple hundred billion dollars of cuts
00:42:33.100
where's it going to come from these bills they're talking about folks have 170 billion dollars
00:42:38.860
essentially for the disaster we have in the deportations and 150 billion dollars to the
00:42:44.620
pentagon on top of the 900 billion dollar defense authorization act that's over trillion dollars
00:42:50.860
there's gonna be help there's gonna be a huge fight on that they don't want to cut that
00:42:53.580
so if you're only growing it so much and growing and you have additional tax cuts for the middle
00:43:00.300
class and working class and you're not making massive cuts out of spending you're doing these
00:43:05.180
tiny marginal cuts remember is this not steve bannon just kind of winging it they went to drow
00:43:10.140
the house went to drow for a three-day seminar back a couple of months ago remember they came up
00:43:15.100
with 30 billion dollars i think the 30 bay was over 10 years the 1.5 trillion they're trying to fool
00:43:23.020
you with that is over 10 years that is 86 trillion dollars currently of spending 86 trillion
00:43:30.220
of spending and they want to cut 1.5 so it's all performative and that's in the out years it'll never
00:43:34.780
happen my point my point is the gap here is going to be six and a half percent not three and a half
00:43:43.660
percent it's not sustainable the bond market is going to have a vote well we don't want to get into a
00:43:50.300
situation okay is where president trump's already the the alternatives because of what happened to
00:43:56.700
him before what happened before he got here are getting narrower and narrower and narrower
00:44:03.580
it just are we don't have expanding alternatives we got decreasing alternatives why
00:44:09.020
we have 36 trillion in debt and we've shipped all the manufacturing jobs are see we're not a
00:44:13.020
manufacturing powerhouse and we still have this mentality of the pentagon we got to be all over
00:44:19.180
the world we have two as we sit here tonight on holy thursday and i hate talking about something as
00:44:27.260
grubby as money and taxes in the run-up to holy thursdays um ceremonies and um and um activities
00:44:37.340
but this has got to be hammered out because there's too much you're getting all the spin
00:44:43.980
this is about the upper class this is about the upper bracket the wealthy who have all their paid
00:44:49.180
surrogates like steve moore because he's paid by steve forbes and these guys and the larry cuddle of
00:44:53.900
the world over at murdoch and sean hannity over at murdoch are all trying to defend the the and
00:45:00.140
it's just it's mathematically doesn't work guys now one of the reasons i'm saying doing this and
00:45:07.020
it has to be done i want those people incentivized to cut spending why are we not cutting spending why
00:45:13.420
is it so hard because the wealthy don't want to cut spending because they get a total free ride
00:45:19.420
they have incredibly low tax structure uh most of them have all types of um you know protection
00:45:27.420
right tax breaks on investments they do and other things they do so they're not really paying that
00:45:35.660
and with more federal spending you can see everywhere you go the university it's all federal spending
00:45:41.820
look at the law firms the law firms sat there and he broke the law firms in 24 hours
00:45:46.700
by including one line said well we're taking security clearance away you're not going to be
00:45:50.060
or work on government contracts and by the way any clients you have that are identified your
00:45:57.580
identified clients will not be able to go for government contracts while you're retained hello
00:46:02.540
uh we we surrender we surrender why because it's all the government trough that's why spending doesn't
00:46:10.460
increase the decrease and they say oh it's entitled it's entitled for the so working class get a thousand
00:46:14.940
bucks a month from you know um from social security they put in that's the worst the biggest mortal sin
00:46:21.820
in the world for these folks it's the trillion dollar defense budget i'm a hawk but i'm a smart hawk
00:46:29.180
about how we have to do it not just this just orgy of spending it's an orgy spending we have everywhere
00:46:35.580
we have to make cuts and they're going to be tough the medicaid cuts are going to be cuts are going to be tough
00:46:39.740
on maca so guys if you can show me how we get to six and a half from six and a half percent to three
00:46:46.460
and a half percent because even three and a half is not not sustainable but it's a start show me how
00:46:53.100
you get there without getting a little more a little something into the coffer and politically it's a
00:47:00.140
no-brainer what they got wrong is the world has changed since back then number one bush gave a raise to
00:47:08.060
the to the to the middle class and to the working class the world has changed the politics now it's
00:47:15.900
a no-brainer that's why people are in shock the denver says what are they talking about they're in
00:47:20.140
shock let's put up the we put up the uh the hill uh story if we can get that up denver just put that
00:47:26.220
up on the screen the hill was the lead story day was up almost all day people are absolutely in shock
00:47:31.340
in the bill maher uh that was the post game in in hbo and that's supposed to be kind of comedic
00:47:37.340
they really want funny answers but i didn't give a funny answer the audience gasped
00:47:43.180
they're so shocked to think that the republicans would do what has to be done and is a profiling
00:47:48.860
courage that has to be done and politically it's a no-brainer and in addition you gotta give these
00:47:55.980
additional cuts and i you know there's all types of other things you know in the interest
00:48:00.620
all this there's so many other things to be done to bolster the middle class and the working class
00:48:04.620
and they and they say oh we pay the bulk of tax anyway of course you do we have the greatest
00:48:10.300
concentration of wealth we've ever had in the country's history of course you're gonna pay more
00:48:13.420
taxes i'm actually surprised you pay so little taxes the concentration of wealth in this country
00:48:20.300
is is is unbelievable since the financial crisis of 2008 because they all bailed themselves out
00:48:25.420
this is a no-brainer we're going to fight this one
00:48:27.340
to the bitter end and go over norcross these guys the no tax pledge hey no tax increases on on
00:48:34.380
the middle class and working lives i'm one million percent down with that people are too big a tax
00:48:41.020
burden but for the wealthy that have made out in this country and yes they're job creators and we're
00:48:44.780
not taking away from the work they did but no offense it's not the end of the world it's a snapback
00:48:49.260
from 37 to 39 percent i actually advocated this in 2017 and it would have been the smart the smarter
00:48:57.820
thing to do but it was shot down principally shot down by progressive democrats in the white house
00:49:03.180
because guess what we did have progressive democrats in the white house
00:49:07.340
it was uh i had a failure to launch but that's okay i'm did you know i'm not going to win them all
00:49:13.660
but i'll be back and i'm going to win some i'm going to win more and i lose and we're going to win this
00:49:17.420
one because it makes compelling economic sense it makes commitment compelling uh political sense
00:49:26.380
and it happens to be the right thing to do you're going to have all types of things that this is
00:49:32.460
communism republicans don't do that well hey guess what this is why it's a new republican party
00:49:38.620
what they're talking about steve moore and larry kudlow and arthur laffer and grover norquist and
00:49:44.140
sean handy are from the land that time forgot they're from a different day in a different era
00:49:50.780
and they represent the vested interest in this nation right the wealthy and the wealthy have
00:49:57.100
been irresponsible and we're in a financial crisis right now i don't need to tell that but even if
00:50:03.820

00:53:09.900
human and i wanted to share just a little bit more about our brand for those who may not know
00:53:13.820
of us yet but about six months ago we decided to launch sacred human with really the simple mission
00:53:19.900
being to provide american-made natural supplements without all the artificial nonsense so unfortunately
00:53:27.260
as many of you know a lot of these big corporate supplements will include things like preservatives
00:53:32.300
artificial ingredients and other additives that really aren't benefiting your health
00:53:36.300
health so that's why we created sacred human really trying to fill this gap of quality supplements
00:53:41.500
and of course the beef liver being our flagship products for those who don't know beef liver is
00:53:47.500
loaded with highly bioavailable ingredients such as vitamin a b12 zinc coq10 etc and because it is 100
00:53:56.460
percent grass-fed and natural your body is able to absorb these nutrients far better than taking any
