Speaker 1 (00:01):
This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray
for our enemies because we're going to medieval on these people.
You've not got a free shot. All these networks lying
about the people, the people have had a belly full
of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I
know you've tried to do everything in the world to
stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's

(00:22):
going to happen.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
And where do people like that go to share the
big line?

Speaker 3 (00:26):
Mega media?

Speaker 4 (00:27):
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of
these people had a conscience.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
If that answer is to save my country, this country
will be saved.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
Or here's your host, Stephen Kvan.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Okay, welcome by Friday, seven February, Year of Roler twenty
twenty five. Dave Bratt and folks. That's just the way
it is. That thing on the cr and the fourteenth
is everything. You got to get that sort of first,
then you should be run around doing these reconciliations. And
it's got to be two reconciliations. The reason it has
to be two reconciliations the ice guy's going to be

(01:11):
cash right now. Remember we're an extra We've hit the
death celling, so we're in extraordinary efforts on the death
ceiling right now. And there's cash around. You're not going
to fault some securities, but there's no additional cash out there.
And Ice, this is why they're going to getmo. Ice
needs some money to kind of build some infrastructure, get
this thing rolling. We got ten million to twelve million
illegal alien invaders, gotta go, gotta go home. Secretary State

(01:36):
Rubio is cutting deals down in Central America or the
front line nations. But it's all it needs and needs
some needs some cash. So Bratt, you've done this drill
many times, poke holes in my logic, sir, because I
want to. I go to people and I say tell
me where I'm wrong, and they go I get them.
They're in the mumble tank. And then finally Tom Massey,
with that mi t brain just puts it out there boom.

(01:57):
What he said is a short tweet grace of you
can put it into the into the uh the chat.
It's not the Oh Tom Massey doesn't support the president.
This is not about supporting the president. Not about supporting
the president, not supporting the president. We're making a case
that if nothing's done in President Trump's first year, you're
gonna have Joe Biden's budget. That's just that's just a

(02:18):
technical reality. So Brad punch holes in it.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
Yeah, not many holes to punch.

Speaker 5 (02:25):
I mean, the the only hole is the amount of
revenues we're going to get out of the external revenue service.
I'm all in favor of going big hard on China
across the board and decoupling for many reasons. We got
to be very smart and strategic on the order of
all that, uh with you know, with rare minerals, and
I get all that, but my memory just goes back

(02:47):
when I was in It was first give us the House,
then the Senate, then the White House.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
We got all three, and then we didn't do.

Speaker 5 (02:53):
Anything because the House and the Senate were scared of
losing members.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
And it's the same logic today, they're scared of losing
a member or two.

Speaker 5 (03:00):
There needs to be just a tremendous Gustalt shift, right,
or a Thomas cooneyan revolution in psychology which you're helping
to bring about.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
You know, you're going Old Testament today.

Speaker 5 (03:12):
Moses came down with his list of ten and threw
them down on the ground and wrecked God's word because
he was so upset with the people. Right, and then
you got John the Baptist. You got church Hill yelling
out in the wilderness by himself. You've been yelling out
in the wilderness, but you're having an amazing effect on
his country.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
And so the budget numbers aren't going to do the trick.

Speaker 5 (03:32):
It's it's got to be a grassroots effort on the House,
contacting your House and Senate members politically and putting the
fear of God in them.

Speaker 6 (03:40):
Right.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
I think it's.

Speaker 5 (03:41):
Proverbs fear of fear of the Lord is the beginning
of wisdom. And that's what we got to get straight now, Thomas,
if you had two hundred Thomas Massey's in the House conference,
there wouldn't be any wars, there wouldn't be any thirty
six trillion debt, there wouldn't be any border invasions, et cetera.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
Right, So that's we got to get two hundred dollars solid.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
So war and polse. We're not to the point of
calling because we've got to work through a plan and
think this through. I'm just laying it out there and hey,
with Dave Bratt saying, poco's in my argument, I'm hopeful
external revenue. We actually came up with this concept here
with a John Gardner on warrem at the political talk
and I'm a huge believer in President Trump's strategy and
this is brilliant, But you're one hundred percent correct. I'm

(04:21):
not sure it's gonna be a ton of cash in
the first year. Every time they talk to you about four
train of cuts and five train of cuts and have
seven training cuts and attacked all this, they're talking ten
years because they have a statue that says you have
to do things in ten years. It's irrelevant. You can
do it's fine. The only thing that matters, like in
any restructuring is this year. In next year, let's get

(04:42):
through that first, and let's show how we're getting towards
a balanced budget. We're not going to get there. Let's
just show how we're going to get to. Scott Best's
the Secretary Treasuries three percent of GDP. We're essentially at
six and a half percent. Now it's not sustainable. This
is why inflation's not gonna totally go away, because now
it's embedded in the financing cost of you know, twenty

(05:06):
percent or a third of refinancing thirty six, thirty seven,
thirty eight, thirty nine, forty three dollars of debt where
you never pay down a penny of principle. We will
never pay down a penny of principle because now the
gross interest charge is going to be what one point
four trellion dollars larger than the defense budget. Oh, by
the way, which has to be cut. Dave Brett, you're

(05:27):
gonna be back with us at five. Brother, Where do
people get you in the interim?

Speaker 3 (05:32):
Yeah, Brad economics son getter.

Speaker 5 (05:34):
It turns out my young people threw me up on
X without me knowing, and I might be I'll announce
that to night at five.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
So the young people are trying to get me active. Yeah,
but I'm glad to see I'm a chuck coming out.
He'll throw down a little old testament for you.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
He'll give you a pastor. Well, that's what we're going
to bring now, Dave Brat, see you back here at five.
We'll have a big announcement day Breat's expanding social media empire.
Pastor John Emma Chuka, i' mon trucla joins us, I've
cut that to Pastor John, so tell me today. I
want to bring a fire breather on. I already had
Lance Wall Now, who's calm and you know, calm demeanor,

(06:09):
but he's a fire breather. You're probably one of my best,
the country's best. The task force that Pam Bondi's leading
on making sure there's no more anti Christian bias in
the government and no attacks on individual Christians. Plus the
Faith Office. Today President Trump in two days around the
National Prayer Breakfast went yard. Is this just more performed?

(06:30):
Is this performative or is this real? Pastor John, this is.

Speaker 7 (06:34):
The real deal, you know, to create a task force
to fight against anti Christian bias and bigotry, you know,
with the support of Pam Bondi and Paula White, this
is what America needs. Just keep in mind Merrick Garland
labeled parents as domestic terrorist. Why because they didn't want
books like this to be in the school system gender queer.

(06:57):
They didn't want books like this Arkle Boy to be
in the school system for the children to read.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
They didn't want books like this.

Speaker 7 (07:05):
Entitled Worm Loves Worm that talks about same sex marriage
to kids ages four through eight.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
They didn't want that.

Speaker 7 (07:11):
And so what President Trump is doing is that he's
holding true to his promises. He said that we will
see a golden age in America. The Bible tells us
this that righteousness exalts a nation and sin is a
reproach towards any people. And President Trump is holding true
to form. He campaigned on these things and he's doing it.

(07:32):
But we must also keep in mind that the icing
on the cake is this new faith office. But there's
something else that we need to do. We need to
rectify what the demonic and diabolical man Lyndon B. Johnson
did in nineteen fifty four with the Johnson Amendment. He

(07:52):
found a creative way to shackle the hands of the
Christian Church, in particular Christian pastors, to keep them muzzled
so they won't speak up and out against policies that
the Democrat Party was pushing. We need to repel the
Johnson Amendment, and that will be sprinkle on, sprinkles on

(08:13):
the cake. But I see today that there's a plan
clearly on the left. They're not going to sit back
and sit on the sideline and allow President Trump to
move forward with his agenda. They're already talking about impeaching him.
And who do they hate the most. They don't hate
President Trump. They hate the God of this book. They
hate the God of the Bible. And when you consider

(08:34):
people like Alice Bailey and Margaret Sanger and Madeline Murray O'Hare,
who labeled labored to remove prayer from the public school
system and the Bible, these are the kind of individuals
that President Trump is still.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
Fighting today America.

Speaker 7 (08:50):
We have elected number forty five and number forty seven,
and he's holding true to the things that he promised us.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
And I celebrate that. What do you hope to see
out of the task force? What we hope to see
out of the faith of us? Because there are two
different things. And what would your potential role be or
other evangelical pastors like yourself, sir.

Speaker 7 (09:15):
Well, First and foremost, we want to keep the federal
government from telling pastors what they can and can't say.
You know, there's this lie that the Constitution includes this
line that there's a separation of church and state, and
that's not true. Thomas Jefferson mentioned that in a letter
to the dan Bury Baptist Association, he talked about a
wall of separation, and the plan was to keep the

(09:38):
state from infringing upon the church and not vice versa.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
And so that's where we are today. So first and.

Speaker 7 (09:44):
Foremost, we need to repeel the Johnson Amendment. I want
to see that take place. I also want to position
us ourselves where we can get back to allowing the
Bible and school sponsored prayer to be recited in schools
all across this country every day. Christianity is the foundation
of American civilization and American exceptionalism. America would not be

(10:09):
exceptional if it weren't for Judeo Christian principles. So I
want to see school sponsored prayer in school systems all
around this country and to get back to the Ten Commandments.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
We want to see that take place.

Speaker 7 (10:22):
Also, we want to make sure that when Christians go
to school, they're not demonized, you know, Grates K through
twelve by their professors and or by the teachers. There
was a young girl in Chatham County who really got
me into this fight nationally to lead me towards going
to eighteen states and speaking.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
Up for children.

Speaker 7 (10:42):
There was a young girl in Chatham County who was
demonized for a Christian faith. Her teacher told her that
believing in Jesus was tantamount to believing in a brick
wall that should never happen. But under the Trump administration
and with this new Faith Office, we're going to see
things like that dissipate, and we'll be able to have
a school system that builds up our children from the

(11:04):
bottom up and reminds them of the great heritage that
we have in this country.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
When it comes to Christianity, Pastor John, where where can
people get you? Where do they go for your fight
but one for the kids in the schools, but also
for your mission about Christianity and making sure that we
get a government that does not persecute Christians, which has
been happening. I mean, we have to face a quite

(11:29):
unpleasant fact. Where do people go to partner with you? Yes,
you can go to I Know Good dot us. I'm
leading a national campaign going from state to state. I've
now been to eighteen states leading this campaign. We're fighting
against critical race theory, gender theory, and queer theory.

Speaker 7 (11:47):
Go to I Know Good dot us. You can follow
me there and support me there as well.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
Pastor John, thank you so much, appreciate you, thank you,
complish you we're gonna jump. I think at the bottom
of the are is a lot more I want to
get through. The Prime Minister of Japan is gonna be
I think arriving momentarily at the White House may be there.
They're going to eleven thirty as soon as President Trump

(12:14):
he has these bylights. What happens that the dignitary show
up at that the circular driveway or sometimes through the
side door, depending where they it's easier to do the ceremony.
They come in and President Trump will then go to
the Oval office and normally go through the side into
the West wing. President Trump takes him and they have
a bilt there a few minutes to themselves together, catch up,

(12:37):
give some greetings. Then President Trump will normally then bring
in the press early for some questions, et cetera, and
then he will do a longer private meeting there and
then they'll go out to the press conference. This is
what he did with BB the other day. I anticipate
it will be the same way here. If that eleven
thirty looks like it may be a press avail, we'll

(12:57):
go to that. I think our own Brian Glenn will
be in the Oval. If we do that, and then
they'll have the continuation of the bilateral meeting, and then
later I think around the one o'clock time in Real Americas.
Real America's Voice will cover it. You'll have the press
conference from the East Room, and then President Trump's leaving
early today to go to mar Lago for Super Bowl weekend,

(13:20):
and Jane Zirkle we'll get some questions hopefully in the
press pool to answering him down there. So it's a
lot going on today. Natalie Winners will be with us
at five o'clock to wrap up. And tense day in
the way is President Trump has just announced Reutter has broke.
Another thing he talked about last night is re emphasized
the day reciprocal tariffs is just not the situation with

(13:41):
the emergency use of the terraffs for the national security
crisis on the southern border fentanyl. Also talking about he's
also talking about reciprocal tariffs. What does this mean times
of turbulence. Think the SMP is down seventy points S
and P four hundred, I think, or five hundreds down.
The four hundreds industrials and the five hundred includes some

(14:02):
of the financials. I always say for a pure look
out of America's industrial might. Always check the S and
P four hundred one of those of down seventy points time.
It's a time of turbulence. That's why Birch Gold, take
your phone out, ban it. Just text Bannon at nine
eight nine eight nine eight. They've got a great brochure
out investing in gold in times of turbulence and investing

(14:23):
in gold in the age of Trump. So go check
it out. Because President Trump and trying to restructure this
government and trying to cut massive spending and trying to
get populous tax policies in the global capital markets is
going to be a little it's gonna be a little bumpy.
So buckle up and check with Birch Gold, Philip Patrick
of the team. Those of you guys, go check with

(14:44):
Birch Gold dot com, slash Bannon online, reach out to
Philip Patrick. Short commercial break, you're in the war room.
Back in a moment.

Speaker 2 (14:59):
To understand the first few weeks of the second Trump administration.
Go back and listen to what Steve Bann until PBS's
Frontline in twenty nineteen.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
The opposition party is the media, and the media can
only because they're dumb and they're lazy. They can only
focus on one thing at a time. All we have
to do is flood the zone. Every day we hit
them with three things, they'll bite on one and we'll
get all of our stuff done. Pang, bang bang. These
guys will never will never be able to recover. But
we got to start with muzzle velocity. So it's got

(15:29):
to start. It's got to hammer. It's got muzzle.

Speaker 3 (15:31):
Velocity, muscle velocity.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
Banan's insight, there is reel. Focus is a fundamental substance
of democracy. It is particularly the substance of opposition. People
largely learn of what the government is doing through the media.
So if you overwhelm the media a.

Speaker 3 (15:48):
Record setting number of executive.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
Orders, everybody pardons violence, nonviolence, including assaulting police officers, birthright citizenship.

Speaker 4 (15:57):
We live in unprecedented times right now.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
If you keep it moving from one thing to the.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
Next, so far, so good is this legal? If you
give it too many places, it needs to look, you've
never been deported before.

Speaker 6 (16:11):
All at once, all federal grants and loans will be halted.

Speaker 4 (16:15):
Look, there is a purge happening, frankly unprecedented in its nature.

Speaker 2 (16:20):
DEI the Gulf of America, No coherent opposition can really emerge.

Speaker 3 (16:25):
It is hard to even think coherently.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
Donald Trump's first two weeks in the White House have
followed Bannon's strategy like a script. The flood is a point,
the overwhelm is a point. The message wasn't in any
one executive order or announcement. It was in the cumulative
effect of all of them, the sense that this is
Trump's country now, it is his government now, it follows

(16:49):
his will, It does what he wants, that he is limitless.
If he says a birthright the citizenship is over, then
it's over.

Speaker 4 (16:57):
Shotting down USAID, showing down the Department of Education. There
is a whole now parallel agenda that I don't know
how much Trump understands it or cares about it, but.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
It's Elon's agenda. Yeah, and the Elon.

Speaker 4 (17:09):
Musk agenda are co president, which is unfortunately you know,
we've talked to I've talked on this show in other
places about one of the most interesting tensions in Trump's
political coalition between the Bannon wing and the Musk wing.
This is the place where Bannon and Musk are aligned.
Bannon wants the deconstruction administrative state is exactly what Elon
Musk wants. Bannon wants it for maybe slightly different reasons,

(17:31):
maybe less slightly less for personal enrichment than Musk. But
they both want to tear everything down. They're both Heath
Ledger in the in the second Dark Day movie.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
They just want to watch the world burn.

Speaker 4 (17:42):
They want to they want to tear these these these
these institutions down. And Trump has that quality too. That's
not about retribution, that's just about.

Speaker 1 (17:50):
Nihilism, right.

Speaker 4 (17:51):
But that's what what Elon Musk is a very effective at
doing is knowing how to send five, uh, really brilliant
computer programmers who don't know anything about concerns about like
what happened to classified documents or name's got out, but
know how to get inside the bowels of the Treasury
Department's payment systems and extract the information that they need

(18:12):
for whatever purposes, and how to effectively shut down an
independent agency like USA idea and a weekend of work.

Speaker 8 (18:18):
Right.

Speaker 4 (18:19):
That's like, that's the parallel agenda that goes in perfect
tandem with the retributive agenda. It is the slight place
or which where Musk and Trump come together. Trump's not
Musk is not retributive. Trump is not fully deconstructed. I
don't think understands any of those words deconstruction, administrative, state,
but tearing stuff down great, and they're kind of the

(18:42):
working in devilish tandem now. And I think that part
of the of the challenge here is how do you
address all of that?

Speaker 9 (18:49):
Looks to me as if Musk has chosen AID as
kind of a demonstration project's to see how we can
destroy an agency and to memorialize the rest of the
federal workforce. My question for Andrew is, let's assume that
you are right that Marco Rubio just inherently is not insane,

(19:10):
that he understands the good that that AID was doing,
and that within the State Department he wants to to
recreate some of this, maybe quietly, but he knows that
we need to have it. But how long would it take,
How difficult would it be even if he wanted to

(19:33):
sort of put it back together now that it's been
utterly smashed. Isn't that a long term project?

Speaker 6 (19:43):
It is you destroy an institution, you don't rebuild it overnight.
And I might add the State Department is not I mean,
I have great respect.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
For the State Department.

Speaker 6 (19:51):
They're the best diplomats in the world. I was a
diplomat for a while as President Bush's envoy to Sudan.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
But they are not operational.

Speaker 6 (19:59):
They cannot deployed disaster assistance response teams, which AID sends
all over the world. They hire generalists in the Foreign service.
AID hires specialists. You have to have an advanced degree
to work in the Foreign service and AID you can't
get hired, which means PhDs, medical doctors, agricultural economists, agricultural scientists.

Speaker 1 (20:25):
We have the logisticians.

Speaker 6 (20:27):
How do you think food ad gets? Movement doesn't just
appear magically.

Speaker 8 (20:31):
You have to have.

Speaker 6 (20:32):
People, experts and logistics two hundred and ninety four people
to spend, to spend thirty eight billion dollars?

Speaker 1 (20:39):
What are they idiots?

Speaker 6 (20:42):
And they're not going to The hiring systems in the
State Department, I have to say.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
Are very slow.

Speaker 6 (20:47):
AID has slowed down in recent years, but when I
was there, we could hire someone in a couple of months.
I do think changes need to be made, but the
problem is not an AID.

Speaker 1 (20:59):
The problem enough, No, the problem is an AID in
the deconstruction administrative state, and this is where we do
all come together, and President Trump understands this. You must
take this apparatus apart and get down to what you
actually need in a limited government to maximize liberty of
the people and also to perform some basic functions. I'm

(21:21):
not saying you shouldn't be regulation or regulatory apparatus. Nobody's
talking about that, but USAAD. And this is why it's
such a perfect one to start with. There's no good
that comes out of it. This is all a slush
fun it's a CIA cutout. Plus you've seen what it's
done on funding the NGOs and invasion of the southern border,
and what it's done to suppress speech in this country.

(21:44):
And now we're finding out. Victor Orbon today announced he
wants to see every penny USAID the US government spent
on funding these media companies, and hungry they're going after him.
This is what USAID did was outrageous and it's a
perfect example for us to focus on because for years,
the not just House Freedom of Caucus, but pro liberty

(22:08):
people in the House on the Republican side went after
US idea and it was backed up by the Paul
Ryans that wouldn't even let people get in there. And
do audits. Wouldn't even let people get in there and
have any systematic or meaningful review. This is what you
mean by controlled opposition when I say, hey, we didn't
get into this position by just radical Democrats running wild.

(22:29):
Of course they ran well, but they were allowed to
run wild by the controlled opposition Republicans who were too
afraid to take the incoming and take the heat. They
wanted to get invite to the cocktail parties in Georgetown
and be called, you know, like Mike Turner. When Mike Turner,
you know from Dayton, Ohio, flipped when he took over
the Intelligence Committee, everybody up on Capitol Hill says, you're

(22:52):
a statesman, you're a big thinker. You know, you're projecting
American soft power abroad. All this nonsense for a cut
out that's doing nothing but damage and promoting the agenda
of the American Empire, of which we're not an empire.
We're a revolutionary country. We were founded on a revolutionary idea.

(23:13):
We wouldn't be part of an empire. And so for
post World War Two that the hedgemon, and particularly with
the collapse of the Soviet Union under President Reagan, the
evil empire. They come to the hedgemon under Bush forty three,
and then the thinking of the hedgemon. This is how
we gave total and complete power to the apartheid oligarchs

(23:34):
in Silicon Valley who are now looking for a bailout.
This is let me give you a dirty secret. Let
me have let's have a moment of enlightening. Enlightenment, because
we want to hear one of the things that we'll
talk to adults like their adults. And I finished with that,
finished with that, covered Time magazine to do a split screen.

(23:55):
Why do I keep saying crossed the Potomac, crossed the
Potomac and go to the Pentagon where after I came
off sea duty as a junior officer, I was a
special assistant to the Chief of Naval Operations and was
had the honor of working there and really was called
the Ceno's executive Board. That's not some panel, that's really

(24:18):
the twelve flag officers that made up the senior command
of the Navy. We can do a split screen on
that if you want. And so I saw the way
the apparatus works, in particularly, I saw the way the
apparatus works of material acquisitions and shipbuilding, and this is
President Reagan's I was in the first years of President Reagan.

(24:39):
It was building a six hundred ship navy. Remember that
you might be old enough to remember that we're going
to go, I think from under three hundred ships to
a six hundred ship navy as mahon strategy of taking
over kind of the British Empire's Royal Navy to choke
down the power in the Eurasian landmass that would be
then the Soviet Union. And that was going to be

(25:00):
quite expensive. But I saw that going. I saw the meetings.
I was sat in the meets as a junior officer.
I was a grun dune. But I come off, see dude,
he said, you know, I don't know, twenty five, twenty
six years old, taking notes. And so I saw the apparatus.
I saw had work as a young man, made a
lasting impression. And the people over there good people, they're patriots,
They're trying to do the right thing. It's a system

(25:20):
that's out of control. And now it's at nine hundred
billion dollars. We must cut federal spending. The number one
existential threat to the United States is the Chinese Commutist Party,
and and it stucably linked our debt and they understand this,
and we're hurtling down a path. There are no easy alternatives.

(25:42):
How do I know that? I just saw the OMB
memo go out before RUSS vote. The Great RUSS vote,
by the way, shows up to day it's first day
of work. Even saying where all the money is in
the system caused a riote on Capitol Hill, caused the meltdown,
with the Republican members out to rout for their conference,
hering so shake they were so shaken up. Their ten

(26:05):
year budget had three hundred and eighteen billion dollars. It
cuts over ten years of thirty one billion dollars a
year over ten years, over ten years, it's a joke. Oh.
In addition, they had another three hundred and fifty billion
dollars of increased spending. This is about political will and
addressing things head on. Why do they not want to

(26:25):
cross the Potomac. Why do they not want to go
south of the Potomac. Why do they not want to
take the bridges and go to the Pentagon Because Silicon
Valley is inextricably linked to the Pentagon's budget. The oligarch's
paydays is over in the Pentagon, it's over in Arlington
right there. That's why Amazon. That's why Pentagon City right

(26:47):
next to the Pentagon is all the new high tech hub.
Proximity is power right sure, Commercial break's your host, Stephen
k Baan, Okay, we're gonna have a split screen if
we can do that. Denver there we go right there,

(27:08):
Prime Minister Shiba, I think momentarily become for a meeting
with President I station. Remember the President was very close
to Abbe, who was assassinate gunned down in the streets.
Think of Tokyo, right, President took that heart. He's very
close to Abbe. He and Abbe he's the Abbe is
the only guy I've seen the President. It wasn't thirty

(27:30):
six holds. I think they played twenty seven the first time.
Abed was the first one to come and see him.
We left. It was about this time, maybe a week later.
We left the White House and went down to mar
Lago and the President in Abbe. Abbe's was as much
a golfer as President Trump. They played eighteen holes and
Abbi says, hey, how about another nine? And they went

(27:52):
back out, just the two of them, with the caddies
and in the Secret Service and played another nine holes.
I think they wanted to play thirty six. But he
had that kind of relationship with Abi, and every time
he went to Japan, they played one of the great
courses in Japan. So President Trump was personally had a
very very strong relationship, very deep relationship with Prime Minister Abbe,
Prime Minister Shiba. Is there obviously huge talks about the

(28:18):
Japanese defense budget. The talks today will be about trade.
They're gonna be about terrorist President Trump. This is why
he said reciprocal terroiffs. I'm sure he's going to have
a conversation with the Japanese about that. His external revenue
service is very high on the President's mind because that
if that cash comes in, maybe you have to do
less cutting. Maybe you don't have to increase taxes on anybody,

(28:38):
particularly the wealthy. Maybe you have bigger tax cuts, maybe
even tax on a no tax on bonuses, which something
they've talked about, more populous tax cuts. President's trying to
juggle a lot. But the central part of the conversation,
besides Trey, will be around national security in the first
island chain in the Pacific, and that'll be Taiwan, Guam,
all of it with the Japanese committeing, I think to

(29:02):
rewrite their constitution, do other things to make sure they're
more aggressive and spend more money in defense. I also
think a big part of the conversation is going to
be South Korea. There's essentially a coup going on there
in the Chinese commist parties and back of it, and
that has to be addressed. Korea is a dagger, the
Korean Peninsula is a dagger putting at the heart of Japan.

(29:23):
And remember Korea and Japan have had a very very
very troubled history, very troubled history. Things happened during World
War Two. And if folks think that the things that
happened in Nazi Germany and Poland and the mainland China,
things happen in China that are still today far of
the Chinese people, the Korean people still furious about a

(29:44):
lot of the activity that went on with the Japanese
in Korea, and the Japanese had a history of trying
to dominate Korea. So that'll be a big discussion today
because the Koreans, who used to be one of our
greatest allies, of something going to Korea, probably twenty five
percent to a third of the young people, I would
say lean towards kind of pro CCP. It's all got

(30:05):
to be addressed, and the Japanese have to step up
to the plate. When I talk about cutting the defense budget,
one of the reasons is is as we think about
the hemispheric defense strategy of President Trump, remember from Greenland
and the Arctic all the way down to the Panama Canal,
and then with Latin America having people like the Bolsonars,
people like Mela to drive the Chinese companies party out

(30:26):
of the Amazon and out of really Latin America and
really come to what I guess now it's Monroe Doctrine
five point zero. But as he talks about hemispheric defense,
it means that we can then pick and choose where
we are throughout the world. Obviously, Japan is a is
a great ally. President Trump's always been very upset about
how they haven't treated great and trade. So there'll be

(30:46):
some testing conversation, just like the other day with Netan
Yahoo people talk about gads of gadza, gods of one
of the most important things. You didn't come out of there.
And I know this is important to Tucker and other people,
and myself. There was no commitment. You didn't hear a
lot of talk that you had Lindsey Graham running around
on Fox all the time about some sort of military
confrontation with the Persians. President Trump, I think he's trying

(31:08):
to tamp things down right now, and trying to tamp
it down in a logical way. I also would recommend
that news coming out of the Ukraine I think is
not great because I think President Trump continues to get
tapped along by these people. And my point would be
to cut particularly when the Zoncy came out. Instead, I've
only got seventy seven billion dollars. Okay, bro, you're saying
the choir part out loud. Maybe we have to rethink

(31:28):
this entire thing. Also, President Trump even talking about taking
the rare earths and the other mineral rights in Ukraine
to pay for all this means you have further engagement
in Ukraine, I think. And although they got great mental rights,
I think disengagement is the best on that part of
the Eurasian landmsk So Prime Minister Issuebai issue Bay, We'll

(31:49):
be here, He'll come through. That's the West Wing entrance
right there. They do when they take them there's a
little reception area that take them right to the Oval office.
They'll be a you know, I'm ministered in one chair,
one of the gold chairs in front of the fireplace,
President Trump and the other. They'll have some exchanges, the
staffs will talk kind of get together. Then President Trump,
I believe, is going to have a presser. Clearly it

(32:10):
won't happen. It won't happen, and during our shore we
thought it might happen. Eleven thirty day Real America's Voice
Charlie Kirks up next. I'm sure they'll cut in because
President Trump's always saying provocative things in the days of
thunder during that and particularly markets, I want to know
they want to know about these reciprocal TIFFs. President Trump
doesn't do anything that's not kind of you know, thought through.

(32:32):
He just dropped that bomb yesday with warritors. Because the
Prime Minister of Jaban has always been a he's had
a big problem with Japan being such a closed market
to American to American goods and particularly American automobiles, where
they sell so many automobiles here, although now they make
a lot more than they used to. Warpath Coffee Taje
Gill Warpath Coffee. Make sure we get jacked up in

(32:54):
the morning with it. It's the best when I'm really
pressed talking to people last night about this, met with
some uh some magazine people and we're talking a little
bit about some of the companies or sponsors of Warpath Coffee.
I gave the story of Tage Gill and Navy seal,
all the great equipment, but what he wanted was coffee
that was good as the Navy seals, you know, guns
and parachutes and the frogman gear they do. And Tage

(33:16):
took years of his life when he left the service,
and he was a contractor as many of these guys are.
He took years of his life to do this. Sixty

I'm talking, you can put those up and we get

(34:02):
million dollar triple lock in its protection Boom twenty four seven,

team that will get to that. So make sure you
go check it out today. What have we been talking
about all morning? Taxes? Just to go back through, President
Trump put out an eight point plan on taxes. You
stay after this four hour meeting. What jumped off the

(34:26):
page at me It was the commitment to the tux
cuts on Social Security that over the life of or
at least over ten years. And think's over treeion dollars.
It's a couple of hundred I mean, it's a big deal.
It's a big deal for you, particularly if you reach
retirement age. It'll put significantly more money in your pocket,
which is what you need. Social Security is not much,

(34:49):
not much, but the taxes will put additional spending money.
It'd be great because you guys, unlike giving the access
to the wealthy, because then you get the whole thing
they can reinvest with. They actually as a marginal spending,
you guys will spend it or tuck it away for
a rainy day, as you guys often want to do,
as the working class of middle class people do. But
that's a real cut, and if the if the external revenues,

(35:13):
I think it's going to take a while for those
to kick in. President Trump's got a real idea about that.
He's thinking through. It's a big idea, it's a powerful idea.
You've got to get to the spending. And this is
why I think we have to have from the dose
guys right now before the one year cr which is coming,
we have to have just a general idea blocked out.

(35:34):
Could we cut five hundred bion this year? Could we
cut one hundred Biand if we just cut USID, then
let's cut it. Let's zero it. I think it should
be zero. I think you should go from forty to
fifty billon to zero. But I strongly believe you can't
be over social security and even if you're looking for data,
even you're looking to rewire it, even look at waste
for oard abuse, which is all important, very important. You

(35:56):
got to get over to the Pentagon. If you don't
show the imperial capital you're prepared to take on the Pentagon,
you're sending a signal that you're weak. Just are You
can sit here and you go through geopolitically, you could
build a plan that if you get aggressive against our
number one existential threat, the Chinese companies party and the

(36:16):
debt that's linked with our financing them and gutting the country,
because how do we get in this situation? The trade
deficit and the real deficits are and I've always said
in lou dobseat, and President Trump believes us, although Wall
Street people don't. It's two sides of the same coin.
In gutting the country and gutting the manufacturing it made

(36:37):
us more dependent upon foreign sources. That's why we had
these huge trade deficits. And no, when people say, oh,
the money's funderable, we can be a service economy, you can't.
An advanced nation has to have and advance major massive
physical capital and a manufacturing base. Manufacturing base provides high value,

(36:58):
addit paying jobs. Prints bleed of men, women too, but
principally to men. This is why we have seventy million men.
They're not in the workforce. Those are not white men.
It's whites, blacks, Hispanics, everybody. I think there's seventy two
million men. They're not in the labor force. Now, a
country like ours can't you can't go on if men.

(37:18):
And these are working age men. It's not the old
guys like myself who still feel they got a lot
of fight left in them. I'm talking about I'm talking
about working age men. You have to do that. You
do that, you stop the trade deficit. Trade deficits one
hundred billion dollars in December, one hundred million dollars, almost
all that tied to China. And of course they tried

(37:39):
to lie, Oh, this is Trump's threat of terrorists. They're
all front loaded. No, it has been categorically shown by
economists that didn't happen. We're just having increasing trade deficits. People.
You know, they're dividing the currency. China's playing every game
in the world. They keep that manufacturing base, and they're
very shaky. That's part of President Trump's terrorists. But you

(38:00):
don't have to pay the tariff to get in the
golden market, you know, to paid tarif if you if
you move the manufacturing here, you don't have to pay it.
That's part of the thing he's doing with Germany. He's
telling Germany, hey, we're not gonna let you game the
system anymore. We're not gonna let you because you have
the high tariffs in uh in Germany, we do that.
You get to Mexico and you're gonna build it all
on Mexico, just shipping across the border at the lower
wage rates and really gout American car manufacturing. We're not

(38:25):
gonna allow that to happen. President Trump's I'm gonna have
a tough conversation here in a moment in the Oval
Office with the Japanese Prime Minister. The topic is going
to be trade and it's gonna be defense. And when
he says reciprocity on tariffs, he means a Japan He's
not digging that not he's not into that at all.

(38:45):
So you got you got to take that. And so
back to tex Network. We we have a problem here
in the country. You don't have enough tax revenues coming in.
President Trump's cutting taxes in one regard, but he's increasing
tax increasing taxes on billionaires. Right there by, the sports team.
Not a lot of money, but symbolically very important taking
away carried interest. Not a ton of money. It's good

(39:06):
throwing something in the kiddy. It has to be done
because Wall Street's getting current income and they're paying capital
gains taxes on it, which you couldn't get because they've
they've allowed current income to be rolled up into kind
of capital gains. Not fair, it's not fair at all.
It's got to stop. But Tax Network USA. Just go
tax Network USA dot com, slash band and go there

(39:26):
right now. They'll tell you quickly where they can help
You're not if you've got a tax problem, don't put
this letter from the IRS and the drawer that's not
going away. It's out of sight, but it shouldn't be
out of mind. You should be worried about it until
you engage these experts and if they tell you they
can't help you, they can't help you, then you call
them up and you fight the IRS yourself. Tax Network USA,

(39:46):
t and USA dot Com. The Prime Minister of Japan's
going to be here in a moment. We're going to
take a short commercial break as we should. I'm going
to speak the people at Patriot Mobile. Brian Glennon and
these guys have been so great to invite me down
twenty eighth of February to Terrant County. Pas Obic's gonna
be with me, A Millius is gonna be with me,

(40:07):

post sopics gonna speak. I mean, Emilius is gonna be great.
Others uh, we get if we put the put it
up you can see it and go to the website
Terran County, Terrant County Republican Party, brought to you by
Patriot Mobile. This is uh uh Glenn's story and the

(40:31):
team really stepping up to the plate. Okay, there we
are right there. Make sure Mow and Grace gathered in
the chat one everybody in the local area, and I
spend time beforehand visitor everybody. Short commercial break, we're gonna
come back. We're waiting for the Prime Minister of Japan,
as is the President of the United States. We'll kick
it all off in just a moment in the world

(40:53):
fifty Okay, welcome by. That's a full shot of the
honorary entrance to the west wing. There's a small greeting
area on the other side of that where the columns
are to the left. You're seeing the full shot. They

(41:14):
come right there. This's the Prime Minister of Japan. It's
motor caids pulling up. That's the Executive Office building right
in the back. That's for most of the White House
personnel work. Now the President should be there to meet him.
Don't know if you get a shot at that, but
there's Prime Minister Shibbe arriving for his for his meeting

(41:34):
with the President United States. It's going to be greeted.
I think that's the President right there. Handshake, take a
few photographs for the for the journalist. Back off, you
get a shot. President Trump a deep relationship with Japan,
like I said, a strong personal relationship, strong personal relationship

(41:55):
with Abbe. Abbe and the President had a really got
along personal as people play golf. You know when you
play golf with the guy that you like playing golf with,
the give and take, the kidding, the teasing. You can
see the other two they really had it. And this
is the rest of the Japanese delegation showing up and back.
So let's pull the camera back fantastic, What a beautiful shot.

(42:17):
That's right there is a press wrangler. You see the
young woman right there. She's got one of the hardest
jobs in the White House, wrangling the media. You see
him wrangling right there the shots. So some more of
the staff going on. That's the entrance up top to
the west wing of the White House. That's kind of
the main official entrance in back of the camera. Just

(42:40):
keep the camera right there. If you go to the
left is the main entrance of the residents. That's where
people sometimes pull up when they're the residents with Malani
and the President. But this is the west wing, the
working side. Now, what the President will do will go
and lead past the Roosevelt Room to the Oval Office

(43:00):
and they'll be in the Oval hops. This is called
a bilat, a bilateral. See the flags of out there,
honoring both countries. There's some of the official military guard
right there. They will go into the Oval office and
they'll spend a few minutes and they'll discuss and talk
with each other, catch up, and then normally what the

(43:21):
president likes to do is allow the press. The flags
come down with people are inside. So we know right
now the president and the Prime Minister inside. What happens
that they then have They then have a few minutes
to catch up. The President loves bringing the press in
before he's really had the longer bilat right there the
Honor Guard US Navy Marine Corps. Not too shabby, looking

(43:46):
pretty squared away this morning. I think we passed inspection.
See they're going back now underneath the portico. The President
likes bringing the press into the Oval and it's always crowded.
The Oval Office is not that big. Bring the press
and they'll be behind the sofas looking. Take a camera
shot to the fireplace. There's the Executive Office building right there.

(44:07):
That's where most of the most of the people work.
Very few offices in the West, very tiny. I keep saying.
It's a relatively old two story building on top of
a military command center, which is the National Security Council apparatus.
That's down below with the Kennedy Room and all the
famous rooms. There were a great shot real America's voice, fantastic.
I love that seeing the color Guard walk out. Now

(44:30):
they're going out. They're actually going towards what the main
entrance to the to the residences. This is back across
the lawn of the of the White House or the
sidewalk that goes across the lawn. The president will invite
the press in for a presser, and that's where you
see these questions are thrown. And they'll always wait the
way the group because they cannot let all the press in.

(44:52):
They will there's the main there's the main portcard for
the White House right there, so we talked about, and
the press will take questions. They'll be shotting them. Normally,
they'll have more international media and more East Asian and
Japanese media, Korean media, Chinese there. When someone like the
Prime Minister of Japan is there, he'll take questions and
then they'll leave the wrangler that young women just saw,

(45:13):
and there's others. And the wranglers are tough jobs because
the media is very rambunctious. They should be. They're trying
to get their scoops, they're trying to get their photographs
or trying to get their question answered. Our own Jane Zirkle,
Brian Glenn or as good as they get. Tossing out
and getting a question asked, getting a question answered, that's
what these folks get paid for. It's like I can say,
it's less snarky today than the first first term was

(45:34):
just unbearable. You get in there, it's all about call me,
all about everybody. So then the President will have a
longer bilateral He'll sit there and that's what we'll bring up,
these contentious issues of of the tariffs and trade, will
bring up the contentions issue they got to pay more
for their defense. They'll talk about the Chinese Commanist Party
and our joint efforts there, and then they will take
a few minutes hang out, maybe go to the Roosevelt Room,

(45:56):
maybe even have a quick bite of lunch, and then
they'll go and have a prep. They'll go to the
East Room of the White House. That's where the military
guard is going. Here is all the west side on
the other sides of the east that's where the Vice
first ladies offices. But the East Room, the famous room
on the other side of the White House. While the
press conference were Netanyahu's press conference, and that where it
will be today with the press and the President will

(46:18):
break news both at his press availability in the Oval
Office and the press conference today. So it's a full
day real Americus voice Wall Old. There's a beautiful White house.
That's the Porter co that's kind of the front of
the White House, the side with the the port of
the big porch multi level porch is on the other
side facing the Washington Monument and the Ellipse where President

(46:40):
Trump gave that famous speech on January sixth. That's all right,
and back you. Let's go, Mike Lindell, you join us.
Let's do us split screen. Let's bring Mike up. But
