Speaker 1 (00:00):
Saturday, the presidation of memorandum called Preventing Abuses of the
Legal System and the Federal Court. And this was President
Trump saying that his administration, the Attorney General, and the
Secretary of the Department of Hounds Security could decide on
their own if legal cases filed by certain lawyers or
law firms were frivolous, and then what's exterordinary here was
(00:22):
that they could then enact sanctions against the law firm.
And one of the key things that came out over
the weekend was there was this criticism of a law
firm that sort of settled with Trump, Paul Weiss. They
were one of these law firms that were targeted. And
it wasn't just that the Trump administration is talking about
taking away Paul Weiss's federal contracts. They said that any
company that continued to work with Paul Weiss would have
(00:45):
its federal contracts taken away. And the head of that
law firm said that he settled with the White House
because they were going to be forced out of business.
Steve Bannon said last week the goal is to bankrupt
law firms. The challenge this administration. No president has done this.
Ron Reagan didn't do this.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
H W.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Bush, George Bush didn't do this, and so it's just
unprecedented and alarming to a lot of lawyers and legal experts.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
So the head of Paul Wise, and this is the
firm that Trump had leveled an executive order again that
essentially had crippled the firm's ability to do business, sent
a long message to his staff, to his fellow attorneys
at his firm on Sunday, and it was the second
time since Thursday that he had sent out one of
(01:34):
these And in that message, he tried to explain why
was it that he had gone into the Oval office
and made this deal with Donald Trump to end this
executive order. He had taken a lot of heat about
it in the press and in the legal world for
doing this, and that was especially acute because he himself
(01:56):
had been such a prominent Democrat.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
He was someone who raised money for Joe Biden.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
His firm had helped prepare Kama Harris for the vice
presidential debate, and he himself had tried to harness the
powers of the legal community against Donald Trump when he
was president during his first term. And in his message
was a pretty revealing claim, and that was that even
though judges in the federal level, or at least one judge,
(02:28):
has said that this executive order is no good. It
was too risky for the firm to actually go to
court to fight that because they would have lost their clients,
that the firm's clients would have thought that the firm
was persona unknown non grata with the government, was out
of favor with the administration. They would take its legal
(02:51):
work elsewhere. And to me, it showed a remarkable power
that Trump has developed in his executive orders that he
was able to get a firm that easily could have
gone to court to fight something to instead go to
the Oval Office and make a deal with him, a
deal in which they committed to giving forty million dollars
in pro bono legal services to causes that Trump himself
(03:14):
has championed.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Front pages of the papers today.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
You've got the New York Times.
Speaker 6 (03:19):
The Times has a picture of the Pope on the
front page, also talking about how disturbing it is that
law firms that may not agree with the president being targeted.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
David Rhoades here to talk about that.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
Also Wall Street Journal editorial page at the top gelling
of Ertawan rival spurs protests and Turkey and really does
and also very interesting a headline right here that's really
We also are seeing the Financial Times this morning too
that people are starting to park their money outside of
(03:52):
a US stock so are go longtime fans of US
stocks are parking their money elsewhere. This is on the
front page of the Financial Times. Trump care of trimmers
shatter Wall Street's faith in American exceptionalism.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
It's something that we're.
Speaker 6 (04:05):
Talking about on Friday, and it really is remarkable what
a couple of months difference makes.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
I know you, Mika.
Speaker 6 (04:13):
You saw when I came back from Britain, came back
from Europe and I was talking about how they were
in awe of our economy in December and just saying,
my god, there's no way we can compete with you.
You have all the animal spirits. We've lost all the
animal spirits. It's really it's just the opposite.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
Now.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
We's speaking yesterday a man who has an American who
has business in the US but also in Germany, and
just talking about the fact that in Germany things have
been so flat, but now they're waking up the history
and understanding. The United States doesn't seem to want to
be there to help them out.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
So the chilling effect is already there.
Speaker 7 (04:52):
Even if indeed a judge us step in, a court
does step in. The message has been sent by this
White House. If you defy us, we're going to make
your life miserable. Now that these law firm like this,
clients in that law firm now may think twice, do
we really want to work with them? Maybe we'll go
somewhere else now, somewhere less controversial. So there could be
a real issue for that law firm. There could be
(05:13):
a chilling effect elsewhere in the living community and me
can We talked about this on Friday as well, But
this is one of the top examples just about frankly,
how much more clever the Trump administration is being this
time around in terms of using the levers of government,
the levers of power, creative ways to get that retribution,
(05:33):
to get that revenge, and to defy others, to challenge them.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
This is the crimal scream of a dying regime. Pray
for our enemies, because we're going to medieval on These people.
Speaker 8 (05:49):
Got a free shot on all these networks lying about
the people.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
The people have patibbellies full of bit I know you
don't like hearing that.
Speaker 8 (05:56):
I know you've got to do everything in the world
to stop there, but you're not going to stop it.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
It's going happen. And where do people like that go
to share the big line? Mega media?
Speaker 8 (06:05):
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of
these people had a conscience.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
Speaker 8 (06:14):
If that answer is to save my country, this country
will be saved.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
War Room.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
Here's your host, Stephen K.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
Bath.
Speaker 8 (06:30):
It's Monday, twenty four March in the year of Arler,
twenty twenty five. If you defy us, we will make
your life miserable. It's not about defying and it's not
about having what they say had some disagreements. This was
full on the legal apparatus of this country, which is
completely run by left wingers and Paul Weiss.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
And this why I love about this.
Speaker 8 (06:55):
We're getting we're now getting down to it, both on
the financial side and on the legal apparatus and taken
on the administrative state, in the deep state. President Trump
has a full on assault on the elites of this country,
in the elite institutions that have turned against the American
people and demonized the American people, made.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Their lives miserable, made their lives.
Speaker 8 (07:21):
Economically much harder, took away the futures of their of
their kids. He's now turned around and he's going after
that hammer and tong and they're folding. They're not powerful
when you confront them. CNN has an entire has an
entire article from Stephen Collinson, who is the smartest guy
(07:43):
over there. Never seen him on camera. I don't know
why that is Heiden, but he's talking about Trump's going
and he goes through every part of the elites.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
It could have come from the script. Fact.
Speaker 8 (07:54):
I think he lifted that from he must watch war Room,
because he's lifting it from Warroom.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Okay, we needed to get out to the CNN crowd.
President Trump full on.
Speaker 8 (08:07):
The cabinet meets at elett This alternative cabinet meets eleven o'clock.
We will go live there to see if President Trump
does one of his open ended press avails. When the
cabinets seated, House is back at noon sentenced back.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
I think this afternoon rece evening. They now got to
deal with all the issues they've left open, which is
basically everything.
Speaker 8 (08:33):
President have two things also over the weekend, and finally
the Secretary Commerce, somebody benched him.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Thank god, he needs to do more commerce.
Speaker 8 (08:42):
He should be focused on the reciprocity tariffs on the
second the biggest single geoeconomic pivot in the history of
the United States industrial policy since the early twentieth century.
We don't need any more comments on him. On Social Security,
(09:04):
Elon Musk is going to be the cabinet media. I
think the first question has got to be on fraud
on Social Security. First, straightforward question what he found on fraud.
We need to know, even directionly because the judge is
calling out that we haven't found anything and you're causing
a ruckus and polling on this is not great. So
we have to know if the political pain is worth
(09:28):
if the candle's worth the game. I assume it is,
but we need to start putting some facts of that.
Also in the House, there's a decision to be made
and Mike Davis and I think people are thinking through
is that what the House is trying to do, because
remember they always want as little confrontation as possible. They're
backing this Daryl Isa bill that would have set up this.
(09:53):
You know, you can't have these judges, These rogue judges
give nationwide a blanket injunctions of tros.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
You go to Rhode Island, you.
Speaker 8 (10:03):
Go to San Francisco, you go to these left wing places,
get a judge.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
It shuts down the whole country.
Speaker 8 (10:08):
Yes, that's very important, but that's in lieu of they
want to pivot away from the impeachment of the judge,
of the judge that's in charge of the national security issue.
And now we've got Venezuela taking planes and people should
know President Trump's still sending planes full of terrorist criminals.
(10:29):
John Solomon's got a big story up on how that
judge it went to Idaho, went out to some conference
a junket as a judge full of Trump haters, put
on by Trump haters, never trumpers and Trump haters.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
He goes as a federal judge.
Speaker 8 (10:45):
His conflict's allegiant, Laura Loowin has done such a great job,
not simply his wife, but his daughter. You got another
mercan situation also just for and we know he's not
going to be removed in the Senate by a trial.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
It's not the point. Trust the process.
Speaker 8 (11:00):
The process itself will send this signal to this radical
judiciary you're not untouchable.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
In fact, you can be touched.
Speaker 8 (11:09):
That's why this Paul Weiss situation had these law firms
that control the nation's capital, and they're so embedded now
because they're quasi private equity. The quasi private equity Paul
Weiss's revenues for a law firm, these are guys a
bill by the hour, folks, supposedly two point six billion dollars.
(11:30):
And I want to congratulate Boris Epstein in the team
that is working on this also in the government for
coming up and bors had to put together a pickup
team for two years. Why the law firms fired Trump
and fired all the people around Trump said we can't
represent you.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Why because, oh.
Speaker 8 (11:49):
Our clients said, if we do, you're bad people. So
they blamed the clients. That's what I love about the
executive order. You know what the executive order said, We're
stripping your security clearance, We're stripping you of any government contracts. Oh,
by the way, any client, any client still continues to
retain you will lose their government contracts. There's a big,
(12:12):
big controversy of the weekend that the democratic law firms
didn't stick together. Paul Weiss had had these guys in
unison before. They didn't stick together. Why they started going
after Paul Weiss's clients. That's when Paul Weiss the firm surrendered.
I cannot emphasize enough how big this is to shatter
(12:33):
and the head went down as a supplicant, one of
the biggest trumpeters. President Trump said, hey, once you come
down to have a meeting, let's talk about this face
to face. Where he signed the surrender document. And now
you got these You got these grundons in the law firms,
these associates sending emails out. I need over at scadn Arps,
some young woman. I need to know immediately if you're
(12:54):
going to cawto because this concern is my two weeks notice,
Hey baby, don't take two weeks and no go now
leave Now.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
All those firms are.
Speaker 8 (13:01):
Going to be out of business. President Trump is on
a full on assault of the elite capture of every
institution in this nation. And they fold immediately. He threatens
to take the money away from Columbia and just a taste,
it was four and a million dollars. They get billions,
(13:23):
sixty percent foreign students. Your kids don't have a shot.
All these universities, all these institutions, your tax payer dollars.
Your kids are on the carrier battlegroups and then the
Hindu cushion in Romania with the one hundred and first
on Okinaowa, with the Marines and Chris Korea everywhere. Your kids,
(13:46):
sons and daughters protect them. Your tax money goes to underwrited,
your penchion money goes to finance it. You are the
guaranteur of all this, and you're abused by these elite
institutions that go out of their way to screw you
and your children. That day's over. Trump is like Thor
(14:06):
with a hammer. The lesson that we should take. If
they're confronted and exposed, they will fold immediately because they're
gutless cowards. For too long, this is why the media
is folded. For too long. They've had all the power
and rubbed your nose in it. But when we take
power back and turn the guns on them, they're not
that tough. There are a bunch of gutless cars going
(14:29):
all out of this way to destroy this nation and
destroy working class people. And now you've got cosplay Bernie
and aoc cosplay run around phony populism.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
Hey, you can't have populism.
Speaker 8 (14:44):
If you're a part of the problem that allow ten
million illegal alien invaders here to destroy the wages of
Hispanics and African Americans, you're as phony as you've ever been.
Short break back in a moment.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
The presidation of memorandum called preventing Abuses of the Legal
System and the Federal Court. And this was President Trump
saying that his administration, the Attorney General, and the Secretary
of the Department of Hounds Security could decide on their
own if legal cases filed by certain lawyers or law
firms were frivolous, and then what's exterrordinary here was that
(15:22):
they could then enact sanctions against the law firm. And
one of the key things that came out over the
weekend was there was this criticism of a law firm
that sort of settled with Trump, Paul Weiss. They were
one of these law firms that were targeted. And it
wasn't just that the Trump administration is talking about taking
away Paul Weiss's federal contracts. They said that any company
(15:42):
that continued to work with Paul Weiss would have its
federal contracts taken away. And the head of that law
firm said that he settled with the White House because
they were going to be forced out of business. Steve
Bannon said last week the goal is to bankrupt law firms.
The challenge this administration. No president has done this. Reagan
(16:02):
didn't do this.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
George H. W.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Bush, George Bush didn't do this, and so they didn't
do it.
Speaker 8 (16:08):
They didn't, they didn't do it. It's unpressed. They didn't do
it because it was all controlled opposition. And the reason
Ron Reagan didn't do it is because Jim Baker and
that Bush crowd were running the deal.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
And he's probably his big law firm.
Speaker 8 (16:21):
Big law firm guy, If your clients continue to retain you,
we will pull their government contracts.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
Boom.
Speaker 8 (16:33):
This also shows you how many are on the tit.
This is get ed Dale's going to join me. Scott Besson.
Finally we went on offense. Finally we went on offense
over the weekend with Scott Besson laying out exactly the
debacle that Biden has left the country. Left working class
people in AOC and Bernie who voted for all of it,
(16:59):
have the gall to run around and now they're all
against the billionaires are all against the oligarchs. You created
the oligarchs, you underwrote the oligarchs. You're the oligarch's bitches.
So don't sit there and tell me how populous you are.
Listen to Bernie's speech. It's so phony and delivered with
so little energy. So all the Bernie Burgs you want
(17:20):
to sign up for that again? It had two shots
of the Clinton mafia, the Clinton neoliberal neo con apparatus,
two shots, two clear shots, zero for two, totally and
completely phony. Of course, Trump's going after the institutions of
the elites because the elites have sold out this country
(17:40):
and used the institutions to suppress the American people. In
the American Worker full stop, you heard any of that
in Denver and Tucson and Tempe, you heard any of that.
They're the controlled opposition for the elites. AOC and Bernie
continue to skip around, go around, go go draw your crowds.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
It's all fine, good. It leads nowhere. It leads you
to the same cul de sac.
Speaker 8 (18:04):
Access has got the has a report of how deep,
how bad it is for the Democratic Party. You look
for in the in the internal polling. You're going to
go after the oligarchs. You are the front folks for
the oligarchs. They hide behind you, as you backed them
with legislation, as you backed them with executive orders, as
(18:25):
you backed them with spending.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
As soon as.
Speaker 8 (18:28):
Trump you go after the law firms, as soon as
you tell them you're pulling their government access to government
contracts and their clients. It's the brilliants and their clients
access to government contracts. They collapse. They ain't so big,
it ain't so tough. I ain't got that government money,
(18:48):
and that's going to get back. You're gonna have so
much smoke. Blump your keyster in the next couple of
weeks about spending and cutting spending and doing everything and spending.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
We're not going to get rid of inflation. You're not
going to get rid of this debacle.
Speaker 8 (19:04):
You're not going to rejuvenate Main Street until we stop
this massive government spending. Maybe a way to do it
is just raise the bionaire's taxes and the corporation attackers say, hey,
here's what we'll do until we get to a balanced budget.
We'll just we'll raise your taxes until we hit balance
(19:24):
balanced budget.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
We'll do that. Okay, we'll do that, and uh and uh.
Speaker 8 (19:29):
When we you know, until if we get to start
taking your taxes down. As you get there with growth,
you got to put the fear of God in them.
That's the lesson the last couple of days. Columbia, big tough, Columbia. Oh,
we're going to do this.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
We're going to do this.
Speaker 8 (19:45):
We don't care if we got these Muslim brotherhood punks
trying to shut down, you know, burn the American flag,
trying to shut down the university of a university. It's
sixty percent with government baysing dollars of good your tax
payer money. Sixty percent foreign students. Now, I love the
fact that we have foreign students here, but hey, just
like h one b visas, maybe got to take a
(20:05):
time out. Let's fill that place with American citizens of
every color, race, ethnicity.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
Let's fill it up. Let's go all there.
Speaker 8 (20:12):
Let's get them American citizens, not on a student visa,
American citizens.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Let's do it across the country. Let's try it.
Speaker 8 (20:19):
Why not try it for a here? So the universities
are hurt hurting for money. Guess what cut the salary
of the tenured professor's making too much money? Anyway, how
do I know they're making too much money because no
other kids can pay back to student loans and not
learning anything.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
You go out in the world and actually be productive.
Speaker 8 (20:40):
Let's do that. Just have all just take a year
American citizens only. How's that you can get federal money.
You can get taxpayer money if you got one hundred
percent of American students.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
I'm not against the foreign students.
Speaker 8 (20:54):
What I'm against is public institutions that you pay for
that have sixty percent.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
Foreign student sudents. Your kids don't even get a shot.
Speaker 8 (21:02):
You underwrite it, your pension fund money finances it, your
life insurance money finances it, and your kids is send
another carry battlegroup over to the Red Sea for the
hohot he's to shoot at Who's on that?
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Well, trust me, I tell you.
Speaker 8 (21:16):
Who's not on that, and that's the punks at Columbia,
the American citizen punks at Columbia, and who's shooting at it.
Some of the foreign students or their acolytes are people
that are have affinity to their beliefs. I can tell
it by looking at it on the Commons. President Trump
(21:40):
is a full on assault and they're pushing back. That's
what this judge's insurrection because they control an elitist institution
of the law schools. They control the big law firms
that are all stocked by the top law schools.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
It's a whole system. It's a whole system, and that
judge at the top.
Speaker 8 (21:57):
And that's why I say, hey, I love Isa, but
if it takes away if Johnsons going to use that
to pat us on the head, we don't need a
pat Let's go full impeachment.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
Why not.
Speaker 8 (22:05):
Let's just get it out there. The peachment process itself
exposed it to the American people. John Solomon's stories and Laarda.
Loomis stories and also investigator reporting. Go be out there
to the public record, and we'll get primetime coverage right
there all day long. Let's see what they're like. Don't
hide from it, run towards it. Grasp if our history
of our movement shows us anything, we're winning when we're
(22:27):
on offense. What's this crouch position? I'll tell you right now.
It's not looking good in Wisconsin. It's not looking good
down to that Florida race for Waltz's seat. Why we're
in a crouch position. It's time to go back up
and get on offense. Like we were in the fall
of twenty twenty four. We're proud of this, but it
(22:49):
has to be for the American people, for the American workers.
We've got to get some semblance of order this thing.
We have to see where the cuts are even directionly.
Just tell me to Actually we're at fifty billion, one
hundred billion, ten billion, judge is saying on socialcurity, we're zero.
I know that's not true, So let's do it. Let's
get it on the table. That's to me a big
(23:11):
item of the cabinet, meaning ought to be that.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
And also the White House make a decision.
Speaker 8 (23:21):
Do you want it back to Isa Bill because they're
not The House can't handle two they got the ice
up as to deflect from the impeachment or are we
gonna be trumpion And let's go. Let's impeach the guy.
He's trying to step in the middle of him being
of the present being commander in chief. Help Venezuela's take
in the planes now. And Tom Holmet said, hey, they're
(23:42):
not gonna listen to the judge.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
Are gonna roll. So if we're gonna have a const
social crisis, let's just have it now.
Speaker 8 (23:46):
Why wait, Roberts and ACB. They don't want to handle
any of this stuff. The ones they've done so far,
they've kind of deferred to the opponents.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
Why why, why why delay this?
Speaker 8 (24:01):
Why push it back? Confront it now? Confront it now,
confront it now. The history of our movement shows that
every time we confront it, seventy five percent of the
time we win. And even when we lose it just temporarily,
we got resilience. We're anti fragile. Okay, so he would
(24:22):
Supreme Court and take it. We'll figure out something else.
That's the power of this movement. It's relentless, and it's growing,
and what feeds it is being on offense taking down
these institutions the lead. This is what they're saying over
the weekend the brand Financial Times of London.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
Oh it could be the end of the dollar empire. Wow?
Where did they get that? From? A just pure crib
from Birsch Cole and Stephen K.
Speaker 8 (24:49):
Bannon in the war room, very you know, very deep
thoughts everything that could be the end of the dollar empire.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
You know what they put it all to.
Speaker 8 (25:00):
It's classic what the elites do because at post war
we had Breton Woods and we had the IMF, and
we set up the World Bank, and we set up
NATO as a system of alliances and institutions. Yo, dude,
if Biden hadn't had nine trip which EJ and Tony's
put today, had nine trillion dollars spending, a deficit and
(25:23):
driven purchasing power of the dollalar down twenty two percent
four years. It doesn't matter if you've got great institutions
or no institutions. It's not an institutional thing. That's you,
once again trying to sell the post war international rules
based order.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
This comes down to federal spending.
Speaker 8 (25:38):
The reason that the bricks are around, the reason they're
talking about a potential goalback collection of securities ain't because
the World Bank's not giving them free money, not because
the IMF's not out there screwing everything up, Not because
the NATO's that the European.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
Elites not haven't put any money up for the defense.
Speaker 8 (25:55):
I could go on and on and on about your
phony argument about instututions. It's because of massive federal spending,
massive deficits. They have to re refinance ten trellion dollars
this year. Scott Beston's got to sell the purchase power
of the dollars down twenty two percent. Of these people,
(26:17):
they're smart enough to get that. They don't care about
the World Bank. Yes, this is more money laundering by
the elites. Every one of those institutions a money laundering operation,
whether they work or not work, is not the thing itself.
The signal is the massive federal spending. What it got
the companies to run for the exits? What got the
(26:37):
law firms cut them off of government contracts? Oh my god,
it's the end of the world as we know it.
Everybody's got their snout in the trough. A trough that
you underwrite is used to destroy you and your children
and your country.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
Use your Stephen K.
Speaker 9 (27:01):
Bath.
Speaker 8 (27:07):
So go check out birch Gold. End of the dollar empire,
get the real deal. We break all that down. But
they're selling. There's markets up what five hundred points this morning,
and last looked it's coming back. Gold's over three thousand bucks.
The end of the dollar empire is not related to
elite institutions like the World Bank, like the IMF, like NATO,
(27:32):
on and on and on. Is tied to Breton woods.
Are we going to be the prime reserve currency? It's
time to have a national debate about that in the
Federal Reserve.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
I know that, you know that.
Speaker 8 (27:45):
But the reason they're fleeing it is the twenty two
percent drop and purchasing power.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
These people are not fools.
Speaker 8 (27:49):
They're quite smart and they all have people went to Harvard, Stanford,
University of Chicago.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
They got them and they know how to work. In
HP twelve C.
Speaker 8 (27:59):
You can give you a net pro value discount, a
cash flow. Let me see, boss, let me do this,
Let me put this in there twenty three with the
Americans are spending deficits to training a year thirty seven
tree in the dead, and they good, let me do
this quickly.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
We're getting screwed. They can do that.
Speaker 8 (28:16):
So they're trying to sell you constantly why these institutions
are good for you and your kids and your country,
in your community. Constantly trying to sell you. Look around,
see what you see. The French poet said, see what
you see, only don't have a reality distortion field in there.
Don't walk around asleep like a bunch of sheeple awake.
(28:40):
You're an army of the awakened. You're an army of
the awakened. And Trump is a battering ram against the
elite institutions that have destroyed this republic, the lawlessness of
the law fair looking when they're on that you know,
up there saying this is terrible. You know they're using
these They could use this long because long. Look at
(29:01):
what you did to the American people for four years.
You ain't so tough. Now you're groveling for government contracts,
Paul Weiss and all your high faluting high moral order,
you know you and democracy for devenders of democracy, you're
they All they care about is putting their snout right
in the trough. As soon as you mentioned they ain't
(29:22):
getting government contracts. And guess what, none of their clients,
genius move ever thought that one up. Genius, not just you,
but anybody retains you. It's going to be eligible for
a government contract. Do you see, David Rose say that
as Almos like you had a heart attack. This is
the way you only you only you only beat them
(29:44):
by hitting them outside the head with a two x four.
That's a metaphor, don't want to put their heads on
pikes metaphor metaphor.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
Oh so good. Just don't back off.
Speaker 8 (29:58):
All gas, no break, impeach this dude.
Speaker 4 (30:02):
Don't sit there and get Ice. I'd love the fact.
Speaker 8 (30:04):
Yes, the thing of the rogue judges, and that's important,
but it's not as important as putting somebody through the process.
You put one through the process, they're all going to
be cheap. Put one through the grinder. Let's put the
guy that tried to become try to step between the
commander in chief and his duty of the national security
the United States of which I don't know the pollings
(30:24):
eighty twenty that we're winning on this one. I think
we want that one. Let me see, let me pick
A or B.
Speaker 4 (30:32):
I'll take B.
Speaker 8 (30:35):
Don't deflect, Johnson, grow a set and let's come in
and let's boom.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
Let's get on it.
Speaker 8 (30:42):
Roger Kimball, you've been around the neighborhood a while. Is
Stephen Collinson right at the sea at CNN is A
is A is a Uh. This is the biggest assault
on elite institutions since at least Andrew Jackson.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Sir Well, reading that piece, I couldn't help but laugh.
It's it is a perfect epitome of the ethic that
only we are allowed to do these things. You can't
do that only we are allowed to do.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
These sorts of things.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
It's a kind of Mary McCarthy sort of essay. You
remember that Mary McCarthy once said about Lilyan Hellman, the
playwright Lilyan Hellman, the communist playwright, Lillian Hellman, that everything
she said, including the words and in butt, were lies.
(31:40):
That's what this piece is like. It's I mean, it's
I mean, it's hilarious really, I mean, beginning with his
deployment of the word elite, what he means by elite
is credentialed. It's the credentialed class. It's the class that
has you know, abrogated to itself all of the societal
(32:05):
perks and power, and they feel like they are in charge. So,
for example, you were mentioning Colombia earlier, you know, does
somebody organized a joint letter signed actually by some people
who I know and respect. I'm surprised they signed it.
(32:26):
They basically said, the government may not threaten funding cuts
to pressure recipients into suppressing viewpoints and so on. Well,
what has the government been doing ever since you know,
The Great Society? Title six, Title nine, They said, if
you don't do these things that we want you to do,
(32:47):
that you know, transgender bathrooms, having women in sport men
in women's sports, and on and on and on, will
take your funding away. So that is exactly what Donald
Trump is doing here. They said, you know, it's not
McCarthy it you know, that's The New York Times had
(33:07):
a piece of this is the McCarthy tactic.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
No it's not.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
He didn't say you're not allowed to say these things.
It's just if you do, you're not going to get
government funding. Quite right, it seems to me. I mean,
and then you know, I mean this is an actually
it's an extory. I might write about this, this essay.
I mean, every single line is either a lie or
(33:30):
a you know, misrepresentation of what's going on. He says, well,
the Trump administration is trying to disempower the federal judiciary.
Speaker 4 (33:41):
No, it's not an Article two.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
The first line of Article two of the Constitution says
the executive power shall be vested in a president of
the United States. One doesn't say a president of the
United States taking hints from district judges in Tennessee or
Seattle or Washington. No, it's a president of the United States.
(34:04):
And I mean this this, this is the author of
this piece talks about alleged gang members, but they're not
alleged they are gang members. They're not migrants, as he said,
they're illegal immigrants who are raping and murdering and assaulting Americans.
I'm you know, among my little cabinet of world leaders
(34:27):
who I admire, mister Buchley is you know, top of
the heap. He completely uh you know, revolutionized El Salvador.
It used to be one of the most dangerous countries
in the world.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
Not anymore.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
He put them in jail, and I'm glad that these
guys from Venezuela who were here trying to assault Americans.
I'm glad that they're in that jail. And I don't
see how where this district judge, where all these judges,
where do they get the jurisdiction to say that they
can impinge upon presidential power, executive power. They somehow feel
(35:03):
that if they're sufficiently anti Trump, that makes them susceptible
to uh uh you know, acquiring little bits of executive power.
Speaker 4 (35:14):
But it doesn't.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
It's it's it's I mean, it's an extraordinary piece and
I'm glad you called my attention to it. Every line
of it, you know, right down to the insinuation of
the you know, the the argument Odd Hitler. You know,
towards the end he talks about dark parallels between the
Trump administration and the tactics of strong man leaders like
(35:37):
Victor Orbon. Victor Orbon has transformed his country into, you know,
one of the greatest countries in Europe. Now, it's an
extraordinary piece.
Speaker 8 (35:49):
You're at the forefront of these institutional and how important
it is for President Trump to leave our mark the populace,
nationalist marketing institutions, particularly Kennedy Center of the institutions of
high culture. Just as an update, So President, so vice president,
some President Trump goes, do we have the President Trump
piece at.
Speaker 4 (36:09):
At Kennedy Center? Is that ready? Not yet? It is ready?
Can let's play Trump at Kennedy Center? Okay, Hey, let's
play this Seping. I'm gonna bring it to the seats,
the decorps. Pretty much everything needs.
Speaker 5 (36:24):
A lot of work.
Speaker 8 (36:28):
The vice president at the.
Speaker 5 (36:30):
Kennidy Senate, I don't know about that.
Speaker 9 (36:33):
He's the most popular the vice president we've had in years.
Speaker 5 (36:36):
He's doing a great I don't know anything about it.
Speaker 4 (36:38):
I figured you'd ask you a question, mister president.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
We're we're talking about price wife and bring.
Speaker 5 (36:44):
Him to a bit of that.
Speaker 9 (36:47):
Whatever it is, I think, you know, it's such an
important part of the fabric of the country and of
d C.
Speaker 5 (36:54):
So we look, we want to do it right. We'll
do it right, and we'll do it once. So you
want a little richard like this, go ahead, Are.
Speaker 4 (37:06):
You guys ready?
Speaker 1 (37:07):
Come on, we're good for Speak to us later too
when we're closing.
Speaker 4 (37:11):
Right, Okay, thank you, passing this way. President Trump very subtly,
they're sending the messagering. He goes very subtle from the
presidential box. Roger.
Speaker 8 (37:23):
It was very important for President Trump to go, and
he's now chairman of the board. Rick Ernell's president. But
just just the trend line, so you know that.
Speaker 4 (37:32):
You know, JD.
Speaker 8 (37:33):
The Vice President went with his wife, the Second Lady,
on last week to see the symphony, and they were booed,
booed by the by the paladins of the Ministry State. However,
I've got breaking news. Sergio Gore and his posse went
last night to the Mark Twain Awards where Conan O'Brien
got the award, and they weren't booed. People just glared
(37:54):
at them for twenty.
Speaker 4 (37:55):
Minutes as they walked into the administration's box.
Speaker 8 (37:58):
So the trend lines what put is us for? Take
take culture back, sir.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
I mean it's you know, you mentioned Andrew Breitbart earlier.
Breitbart was right, politics is downstream from culture. We need
we need to recolonize American culture.
Speaker 4 (38:16):
Restore it.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
And you know, the Kennedy Centers is one beachhead. I mean,
I thought it was hilarious to return to this CNN
piece that they talked about elite bashing sentiments that Trump
is expressing by for example, naming Robert F. Kennedy, uh,
you know, to his to his position, and then they add,
(38:38):
of course a vaccine skeptic, not really explaining what Kennedy's
position on that is. But the idea that Robert F.
Kennedy is you know, a member of you know, some
an elite bashing coterie is hilarious.
Speaker 3 (38:54):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
But and the idea that somehow Trump's what he's whatever
he's going to do with the Kennedy said that he
is attacking a bastion of high culture.
Speaker 10 (39:03):
It's ridiculous too.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
I mean, this is the place that has you know,
you know, drag queens for divas and that sort of stuff.
It's you know, it's it's it's it is in a
playground for the leftist credential class, and it would be
nice to take that playground back for our own. I
(39:24):
mean again, I just want to stress it. The people
should understand that what is actually happening now is the
reason that the left is so up in arms is
that they're not used to this. Only we are allowed
to do these things, they say, you know, you can't
do it. Only we are allowed to do this. But
Trump has taken a different page and he's doing it
(39:47):
to them.
Speaker 4 (39:49):
Good for him, Roger. Where do people get you?
Speaker 8 (39:52):
Where they get your writings, your columns, your social media,
all of it?
Speaker 2 (39:56):
Oh yes, well I met Roger Kimball at Twitter or
x and I write for a bunch of places. So yeah, yeah,
there you go.
Speaker 8 (40:04):
Thank you brother, great take care of no better way
to kick off the week. Thank you, sir, Roger Kimball.
Speaker 9 (40:11):
Was it?
Speaker 8 (40:11):
Andrew Breitbart Run towards the fire? Andrew Breitbart said, cultures
up river from politics, run towards the fire.
Speaker 4 (40:19):
It's got that great. In fact, the engine room sent that.
Look at that right there is that amazing Andrew Brekbart
head toward the fire.
Speaker 8 (40:26):
Because you'll you'll set an example that you're unafraid.
Speaker 4 (40:31):
That's what we need right now, not that we need
to remind you of that, fixed Bannetts. We've got a.
Speaker 8 (40:38):
Lot of work to do, all the work to do,
and this audience can do it. The history is you've
done it before, over and over and over again. Short
break back in a moment, use your hosts even see
(41:07):
can we put that Andrew graphic back up? The Andrew
graphic was, you know, go towards the fire, right, go
to the go towards the fire. You will inspire other people.
Speaker 4 (41:19):
That's the philosophy of maga, that's the philosophy of war room.
Speaker 8 (41:24):
You inspire the people. And now we're in it both
in Wisconsin. You got this race down and got this
race down for Waltz's seat. They're both on April first.
You got the reciprocal tariffs the next day. If we
don't do well on the first, you wait. You see
the media onslaught in the reciprocity of the tariffs, or
(41:46):
what is looking out for main Street and for jobs?
Hyun Day twenty billion dollars. Another factory, big one in
Louisiana announced this morning.

Speaker 8 (43:01):
We finally started going on offense over the weekend economically
to lay out actually what the case is, let's play
Secretary Treasury Scott bessont ed dowd Is on decklass plan.
Speaker 9 (43:12):
I think you have a better beat on the fact
that this data is not as reliable as other administrations
would say they were in order to do whatever it
is they wanted to do anyway. So it's sort of like,
let me just find the data that justifies what my
action is. And part of why you can't, I think
tell the story is do you trust the GDP numbers?
Do you trust non farm payrolls? Do you think these
are reliable enough for you to act on behalf of
(43:36):
the United States?
Speaker 10 (43:37):
No, Look, they're subject to big revisions over time. And
I thought one of the big mistakes the Biden administration made,
and think goodness they made it was they refused to
be they went with the numbers, not what the American
people were feeling. They said, no, it's a vibe session,
(43:57):
and you really don't understand how good you have it.
You know, this has happened, This has happened.
Speaker 4 (44:04):
Okay.
Speaker 8 (44:06):
One of the ways they're mistated ed doubt is here
you've got your kind of metric model we're going to
talk about, and we're gonna hold you through the break.
Cabinet ME is supposed to start eleven. I don't think
they're quite moving around yet. We're gonna jump in there live.
Speaker 4 (44:18):
If the President opens up to media, which we hope
he does, is always great on some of the Q
and A.
Speaker 8 (44:23):
So we're standing by. But we have ed dout and
Carrie Lake ed's with us. Carry Lake's coming up ed
right there. The Biden they always have. They always put
out and they always go back and recast the labor number.
But the GDP number is also phony that they gave
us what number one. It's phony is that you do
(44:43):
have to go in and look at GDP. I think
without massive federal spending when you're running these kind of
massive deficits.
Speaker 4 (44:49):
Your your thoughts, sir.
Speaker 5 (44:51):
I totally agree.
Speaker 11 (44:53):
Look, what Scott was referring to during twenty twenty four
was the fact that GDP numbers were positive.
Speaker 5 (44:59):
But we looked peel back the onion.
Speaker 11 (45:01):
It was a legal immigration, which is a huge elephant
in the room new economic raid. Well, you can't bring
in ten million individuals officially, that's the border encounters. It's
probably more like fifteen funded by NGOs and giving government
goodies and not affect the economy temporarily. So that and
government spending in addition, government payroll jobs added. The real
(45:24):
wage growth was minus two percent going into the election
for the middle class. That happened under Ronald Reagan. He
was elected in the landslide. Bill Clinton had the same
dynamic in ninety two, and so despite the rosy GDP
numbers we had last year, the real average person was feeling.
Speaker 5 (45:41):
It in the wallet.
Speaker 11 (45:42):
And that was why one of the major reasons why
Donald Trump swept in there.
Speaker 5 (45:46):
So Scott Besson's absolutely right.
Speaker 8 (45:51):
Walt me through that, Walt me through that one more time,
to just hit that again.
Speaker 4 (45:55):
What was that? I I want to be sure I
understand it.
Speaker 5 (45:58):
On the real real wage growth.
Speaker 4 (46:02):
Yep.
Speaker 5 (46:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (46:04):
So basically, if you look at real wage growth, it
was minus two percent, and every time it hits that number,
there's a presidential change. Nineteen eighty real wage growth is
minus two percent. Ronald Reagan's swept in landslide. Then when
you know, he restructured the economy. He had a two
year recession and then he restructured it and we came
(46:26):
out into a boom. Bill Clinton had a minus two
percent real wage growth when Bush was ousted, and Carbo
famously said, it's the economy stupid. And coming into this election,
we have the same dynamic minus two percent real wage growth.
Speaker 5 (46:42):
And if you look at.
Speaker 11 (46:43):
This charge here from our economic report, you can see
the disparity between the PMI and our GDP growth Usually
PMI and GDP growth track and recessions track. You probably
should have had a recession in twenty twenty four. We didn't,
and it was it was held up by massive government spending.
Crisis level deficit spending we had. We had sent deficit
(47:06):
spending that we did during the Great Financial Crisis. What
was the crisis? The crisis was who did Biden reelected?
Speaker 8 (47:15):
Hangover second ed, we're going to hold you through the
break and go through your new model. What disturbed me
the reason I wanted to have you on here. The
FED the other day talked about and everybody's focus on
a cut. Hey I'm not I'm not a fan of
a cut right now because what we'll do to inflation
and prices. But they talked about two cuts later in
the year. But the buried lead no one talked about,
(47:37):
is they downgraded the growth. They said the growth is
going to be under two percent one point seventy five
and kind of left it at that, said it was
tied to tariffs, which is nonsense. Tariffs is what bringing
the massive capital investment in the United States from all
these major companies. They're coming back. They're reshoring, they're reshoring.
(48:02):
We'd leave you with the right stuff. We're going to
be back in ninety seconds. President Trump has a planned
on a cabinet meeting this morning. Elon Musk is supposedly
going to be there. We hope they start talking about
doze and putting some meat on the bones of where
this fraud's coming from, because we need to see it.
(48:24):
That will put our critics on a back foot. It's
time to go on offense. Treasury's going on offense. President
Trump's going on offense. Mike Davis and company are offense.
We need the House, the Senate, other parts of the
administration offense, offense, offense, fixed bannets. They will crumble if confronted.
(48:47):
Our opponents are gutless. Our opponents have no platform to
stand on. Our opponents are anti American worker, anti American
Saturday, the presidation of memorandum called Preventing Abuses of the
Legal System and the Federal Court. And this was President
Trump saying that his administration, the Attorney General, and the
Secretary of the Department of Hounds Security could decide on
their own if legal cases filed by certain lawyers or
law firms were frivolous, and then what's exterordinary here was
(00:22):
that they could then enact sanctions against the law firm.
And one of the key things that came out over
the weekend was there was this criticism of a law
firm that sort of settled with Trump, Paul Weiss. They
were one of these law firms that were targeted. And
it wasn't just that the Trump administration is talking about
taking away Paul Weiss's federal contracts. They said that any
company that continued to work with Paul Weiss would have
(00:45):
its federal contracts taken away. And the head of that
law firm said that he settled with the White House
because they were going to be forced out of business.
Steve Bannon said last week the goal is to bankrupt
law firms. The challenge this administration. No president has done this.
Ron Reagan didn't do this.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
H W.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Bush, George Bush didn't do this, and so it's just
unprecedented and alarming to a lot of lawyers and legal experts.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
So the head of Paul Wise, and this is the
firm that Trump had leveled an executive order again that
essentially had crippled the firm's ability to do business, sent
a long message to his staff, to his fellow attorneys
at his firm on Sunday, and it was the second
time since Thursday that he had sent out one of
(01:34):
these And in that message, he tried to explain why
was it that he had gone into the Oval office
and made this deal with Donald Trump to end this
executive order. He had taken a lot of heat about
it in the press and in the legal world for
doing this, and that was especially acute because he himself
(01:56):
had been such a prominent Democrat.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
He was someone who raised money for Joe Biden.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
His firm had helped prepare Kama Harris for the vice
presidential debate, and he himself had tried to harness the
powers of the legal community against Donald Trump when he
was president during his first term. And in his message
was a pretty revealing claim, and that was that even
though judges in the federal level, or at least one judge,
(02:28):
has said that this executive order is no good. It
was too risky for the firm to actually go to
court to fight that because they would have lost their clients,
that the firm's clients would have thought that the firm
was persona unknown non grata with the government, was out
of favor with the administration. They would take its legal
(02:51):
work elsewhere. And to me, it showed a remarkable power
that Trump has developed in his executive orders that he
was able to get a firm that easily could have
gone to court to fight something to instead go to
the Oval Office and make a deal with him, a
deal in which they committed to giving forty million dollars
in pro bono legal services to causes that Trump himself
(03:14):
has championed.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Front pages of the papers today.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
You've got the New York Times.
Speaker 6 (03:19):
The Times has a picture of the Pope on the
front page, also talking about how disturbing it is that
law firms that may not agree with the president being targeted.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
David Rhoades here to talk about that.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
Also Wall Street Journal editorial page at the top gelling
of Ertawan rival spurs protests and Turkey and really does
and also very interesting a headline right here that's really
We also are seeing the Financial Times this morning too
that people are starting to park their money outside of
(03:52):
a US stock so are go longtime fans of US
stocks are parking their money elsewhere. This is on the
front page of the Financial Times. Trump care of trimmers
shatter Wall Street's faith in American exceptionalism.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
It's something that we're.
Speaker 6 (04:05):
Talking about on Friday, and it really is remarkable what
a couple of months difference makes.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
I know you, Mika.
Speaker 6 (04:13):
You saw when I came back from Britain, came back
from Europe and I was talking about how they were
in awe of our economy in December and just saying,
my god, there's no way we can compete with you.
You have all the animal spirits. We've lost all the
animal spirits. It's really it's just the opposite.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
Now.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
We's speaking yesterday a man who has an American who
has business in the US but also in Germany, and
just talking about the fact that in Germany things have
been so flat, but now they're waking up the history
and understanding. The United States doesn't seem to want to
be there to help them out.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
So the chilling effect is already there.
Speaker 7 (04:52):
Even if indeed a judge us step in, a court
does step in. The message has been sent by this
White House. If you defy us, we're going to make
your life miserable. Now that these law firm like this,
clients in that law firm now may think twice, do
we really want to work with them? Maybe we'll go
somewhere else now, somewhere less controversial. So there could be
a real issue for that law firm. There could be
(05:13):
a chilling effect elsewhere in the living community and me
can We talked about this on Friday as well, But
this is one of the top examples just about frankly,
how much more clever the Trump administration is being this
time around in terms of using the levers of government,
the levers of power, creative ways to get that retribution,
(05:33):
to get that revenge, and to defy others, to challenge them.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
This is the crimal scream of a dying regime. Pray
for our enemies, because we're going to medieval on These people.
Speaker 8 (05:49):
Got a free shot on all these networks lying about
the people.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
The people have patibbellies full of bit I know you
don't like hearing that.
Speaker 8 (05:56):
I know you've got to do everything in the world
to stop there, but you're not going to stop it.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
It's going happen. And where do people like that go
to share the big line? Mega media?
Speaker 8 (06:05):
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of
these people had a conscience.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
Speaker 8 (06:14):
If that answer is to save my country, this country
will be saved.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
War Room.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
Here's your host, Stephen K.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
Bath.
Speaker 8 (06:30):
It's Monday, twenty four March in the year of Arler,
twenty twenty five. If you defy us, we will make
your life miserable. It's not about defying and it's not
about having what they say had some disagreements. This was
full on the legal apparatus of this country, which is
completely run by left wingers and Paul Weiss.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
And this why I love about this.
Speaker 8 (06:55):
We're getting we're now getting down to it, both on
the financial side and on the legal apparatus and taken
on the administrative state, in the deep state. President Trump
has a full on assault on the elites of this country,
in the elite institutions that have turned against the American
people and demonized the American people, made.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Their lives miserable, made their lives.
Speaker 8 (07:21):
Economically much harder, took away the futures of their of
their kids. He's now turned around and he's going after
that hammer and tong and they're folding. They're not powerful
when you confront them. CNN has an entire has an
entire article from Stephen Collinson, who is the smartest guy
(07:43):
over there. Never seen him on camera. I don't know
why that is Heiden, but he's talking about Trump's going
and he goes through every part of the elites.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
It could have come from the script. Fact.
Speaker 8 (07:54):
I think he lifted that from he must watch war Room,
because he's lifting it from Warroom.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Okay, we needed to get out to the CNN crowd.
President Trump full on.
Speaker 8 (08:07):
The cabinet meets at elett This alternative cabinet meets eleven o'clock.
We will go live there to see if President Trump
does one of his open ended press avails. When the
cabinets seated, House is back at noon sentenced back.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
I think this afternoon rece evening. They now got to
deal with all the issues they've left open, which is
basically everything.
Speaker 8 (08:33):
President have two things also over the weekend, and finally
the Secretary Commerce, somebody benched him.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Thank god, he needs to do more commerce.
Speaker 8 (08:42):
He should be focused on the reciprocity tariffs on the
second the biggest single geoeconomic pivot in the history of
the United States industrial policy since the early twentieth century.
We don't need any more comments on him. On Social Security,
(09:04):
Elon Musk is going to be the cabinet media. I
think the first question has got to be on fraud
on Social Security. First, straightforward question what he found on fraud.
We need to know, even directionly because the judge is
calling out that we haven't found anything and you're causing
a ruckus and polling on this is not great. So
we have to know if the political pain is worth
(09:28):
if the candle's worth the game. I assume it is,
but we need to start putting some facts of that.
Also in the House, there's a decision to be made
and Mike Davis and I think people are thinking through
is that what the House is trying to do, because
remember they always want as little confrontation as possible. They're
backing this Daryl Isa bill that would have set up this.
(09:53):
You know, you can't have these judges, These rogue judges
give nationwide a blanket injunctions of tros.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
You go to Rhode Island, you.
Speaker 8 (10:03):
Go to San Francisco, you go to these left wing places,
get a judge.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
It shuts down the whole country.
Speaker 8 (10:08):
Yes, that's very important, but that's in lieu of they
want to pivot away from the impeachment of the judge,
of the judge that's in charge of the national security issue.
And now we've got Venezuela taking planes and people should
know President Trump's still sending planes full of terrorist criminals.
(10:29):
John Solomon's got a big story up on how that
judge it went to Idaho, went out to some conference
a junket as a judge full of Trump haters, put
on by Trump haters, never trumpers and Trump haters.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
He goes as a federal judge.
Speaker 8 (10:45):
His conflict's allegiant, Laura Loowin has done such a great job,
not simply his wife, but his daughter. You got another
mercan situation also just for and we know he's not
going to be removed in the Senate by a trial.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
It's not the point. Trust the process.
Speaker 8 (11:00):
The process itself will send this signal to this radical
judiciary you're not untouchable.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
In fact, you can be touched.
Speaker 8 (11:09):
That's why this Paul Weiss situation had these law firms
that control the nation's capital, and they're so embedded now
because they're quasi private equity. The quasi private equity Paul
Weiss's revenues for a law firm, these are guys a
bill by the hour, folks, supposedly two point six billion dollars.
(11:30):
And I want to congratulate Boris Epstein in the team
that is working on this also in the government for
coming up and bors had to put together a pickup
team for two years. Why the law firms fired Trump
and fired all the people around Trump said we can't
represent you.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Why because, oh.
Speaker 8 (11:49):
Our clients said, if we do, you're bad people. So
they blamed the clients. That's what I love about the
executive order. You know what the executive order said, We're
stripping your security clearance, We're stripping you of any government contracts. Oh,
by the way, any client, any client still continues to
retain you will lose their government contracts. There's a big,
(12:12):
big controversy of the weekend that the democratic law firms
didn't stick together. Paul Weiss had had these guys in
unison before. They didn't stick together. Why they started going
after Paul Weiss's clients. That's when Paul Weiss the firm surrendered.
I cannot emphasize enough how big this is to shatter
(12:33):
and the head went down as a supplicant, one of
the biggest trumpeters. President Trump said, hey, once you come
down to have a meeting, let's talk about this face
to face. Where he signed the surrender document. And now
you got these You got these grundons in the law firms,
these associates sending emails out. I need over at scadn Arps,
some young woman. I need to know immediately if you're
(12:54):
going to cawto because this concern is my two weeks notice,
Hey baby, don't take two weeks and no go now
leave Now.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
All those firms are.
Speaker 8 (13:01):
Going to be out of business. President Trump is on
a full on assault of the elite capture of every
institution in this nation. And they fold immediately. He threatens
to take the money away from Columbia and just a taste,
it was four and a million dollars. They get billions,
(13:23):
sixty percent foreign students. Your kids don't have a shot.
All these universities, all these institutions, your tax payer dollars.
Your kids are on the carrier battlegroups and then the
Hindu cushion in Romania with the one hundred and first
on Okinaowa, with the Marines and Chris Korea everywhere. Your kids,
(13:46):
sons and daughters protect them. Your tax money goes to underwrited,
your penchion money goes to finance it. You are the
guaranteur of all this, and you're abused by these elite
institutions that go out of their way to screw you
and your children. That day's over. Trump is like Thor
(14:06):
with a hammer. The lesson that we should take. If
they're confronted and exposed, they will fold immediately because they're
gutless cowards. For too long, this is why the media
is folded. For too long. They've had all the power
and rubbed your nose in it. But when we take
power back and turn the guns on them, they're not
that tough. There are a bunch of gutless cars going
(14:29):
all out of this way to destroy this nation and
destroy working class people. And now you've got cosplay Bernie
and aoc cosplay run around phony populism.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
Hey, you can't have populism.
Speaker 8 (14:44):
If you're a part of the problem that allow ten
million illegal alien invaders here to destroy the wages of
Hispanics and African Americans, you're as phony as you've ever been.
Short break back in a moment.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
The presidation of memorandum called preventing Abuses of the Legal
System and the Federal Court. And this was President Trump
saying that his administration, the Attorney General, and the Secretary
of the Department of Hounds Security could decide on their
own if legal cases filed by certain lawyers or law
firms were frivolous, and then what's exterrordinary here was that
(15:22):
they could then enact sanctions against the law firm. And
one of the key things that came out over the
weekend was there was this criticism of a law firm
that sort of settled with Trump, Paul Weiss. They were
one of these law firms that were targeted. And it
wasn't just that the Trump administration is talking about taking
away Paul Weiss's federal contracts. They said that any company
(15:42):
that continued to work with Paul Weiss would have its
federal contracts taken away. And the head of that law
firm said that he settled with the White House because
they were going to be forced out of business. Steve
Bannon said last week the goal is to bankrupt law firms.
The challenge this administration. No president has done this. Reagan
(16:02):
didn't do this.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
George H. W.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Bush, George Bush didn't do this, and so they didn't
do it.
Speaker 8 (16:08):
They didn't, they didn't do it. It's unpressed. They didn't do
it because it was all controlled opposition. And the reason
Ron Reagan didn't do it is because Jim Baker and
that Bush crowd were running the deal.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
And he's probably his big law firm.
Speaker 8 (16:21):
Big law firm guy, If your clients continue to retain you,
we will pull their government contracts.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
Boom.
Speaker 8 (16:33):
This also shows you how many are on the tit.
This is get ed Dale's going to join me. Scott Besson.
Finally we went on offense. Finally we went on offense
over the weekend with Scott Besson laying out exactly the
debacle that Biden has left the country. Left working class
people in AOC and Bernie who voted for all of it,
(16:59):
have the gall to run around and now they're all
against the billionaires are all against the oligarchs. You created
the oligarchs, you underwrote the oligarchs. You're the oligarch's bitches.
So don't sit there and tell me how populous you are.
Listen to Bernie's speech. It's so phony and delivered with
so little energy. So all the Bernie Burgs you want
(17:20):
to sign up for that again? It had two shots
of the Clinton mafia, the Clinton neoliberal neo con apparatus,
two shots, two clear shots, zero for two, totally and
completely phony. Of course, Trump's going after the institutions of
the elites because the elites have sold out this country
(17:40):
and used the institutions to suppress the American people. In
the American Worker full stop, you heard any of that
in Denver and Tucson and Tempe, you heard any of that.
They're the controlled opposition for the elites. AOC and Bernie
continue to skip around, go around, go go draw your crowds.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
It's all fine, good. It leads nowhere. It leads you
to the same cul de sac.
Speaker 8 (18:04):
Access has got the has a report of how deep,
how bad it is for the Democratic Party. You look
for in the in the internal polling. You're going to
go after the oligarchs. You are the front folks for
the oligarchs. They hide behind you, as you backed them
with legislation, as you backed them with executive orders, as
(18:25):
you backed them with spending.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
As soon as.
Speaker 8 (18:28):
Trump you go after the law firms, as soon as
you tell them you're pulling their government access to government
contracts and their clients. It's the brilliants and their clients
access to government contracts. They collapse. They ain't so big,
it ain't so tough. I ain't got that government money,
(18:48):
and that's going to get back. You're gonna have so
much smoke. Blump your keyster in the next couple of
weeks about spending and cutting spending and doing everything and spending.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
We're not going to get rid of inflation. You're not
going to get rid of this debacle.
Speaker 8 (19:04):
You're not going to rejuvenate Main Street until we stop
this massive government spending. Maybe a way to do it
is just raise the bionaire's taxes and the corporation attackers say, hey,
here's what we'll do until we get to a balanced budget.
We'll just we'll raise your taxes until we hit balance
(19:24):
balanced budget.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
We'll do that. Okay, we'll do that, and uh and uh.
Speaker 8 (19:29):
When we you know, until if we get to start
taking your taxes down. As you get there with growth,
you got to put the fear of God in them.
That's the lesson the last couple of days. Columbia, big tough, Columbia. Oh,
we're going to do this.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
We're going to do this.
Speaker 8 (19:45):
We don't care if we got these Muslim brotherhood punks
trying to shut down, you know, burn the American flag,
trying to shut down the university of a university. It's
sixty percent with government baysing dollars of good your tax
payer money. Sixty percent foreign students. Now, I love the
fact that we have foreign students here, but hey, just
like h one b visas, maybe got to take a
(20:05):
time out. Let's fill that place with American citizens of
every color, race, ethnicity.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
Let's fill it up. Let's go all there.
Speaker 8 (20:12):
Let's get them American citizens, not on a student visa,
American citizens.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Let's do it across the country. Let's try it.
Speaker 8 (20:19):
Why not try it for a here? So the universities
are hurt hurting for money. Guess what cut the salary
of the tenured professor's making too much money? Anyway, how
do I know they're making too much money because no
other kids can pay back to student loans and not
learning anything.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
You go out in the world and actually be productive.
Speaker 8 (20:40):
Let's do that. Just have all just take a year
American citizens only. How's that you can get federal money.
You can get taxpayer money if you got one hundred
percent of American students.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
I'm not against the foreign students.
Speaker 8 (20:54):
What I'm against is public institutions that you pay for
that have sixty percent.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
Foreign student sudents. Your kids don't even get a shot.
Speaker 8 (21:02):
You underwrite it, your pension fund money finances it, your
life insurance money finances it, and your kids is send
another carry battlegroup over to the Red Sea for the
hohot he's to shoot at Who's on that?
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Well, trust me, I tell you.
Speaker 8 (21:16):
Who's not on that, and that's the punks at Columbia,
the American citizen punks at Columbia, and who's shooting at it.
Some of the foreign students or their acolytes are people
that are have affinity to their beliefs. I can tell
it by looking at it on the Commons. President Trump
(21:40):
is a full on assault and they're pushing back. That's
what this judge's insurrection because they control an elitist institution
of the law schools. They control the big law firms
that are all stocked by the top law schools.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
It's a whole system. It's a whole system, and that
judge at the top.
Speaker 8 (21:57):
And that's why I say, hey, I love Isa, but
if it takes away if Johnsons going to use that
to pat us on the head, we don't need a
pat Let's go full impeachment.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
Why not.
Speaker 8 (22:05):
Let's just get it out there. The peachment process itself
exposed it to the American people. John Solomon's stories and Laarda.
Loomis stories and also investigator reporting. Go be out there
to the public record, and we'll get primetime coverage right
there all day long. Let's see what they're like. Don't
hide from it, run towards it. Grasp if our history
of our movement shows us anything, we're winning when we're
(22:27):
on offense. What's this crouch position? I'll tell you right now.
It's not looking good in Wisconsin. It's not looking good
down to that Florida race for Waltz's seat. Why we're
in a crouch position. It's time to go back up
and get on offense. Like we were in the fall
of twenty twenty four. We're proud of this, but it
(22:49):
has to be for the American people, for the American workers.
We've got to get some semblance of order this thing.
We have to see where the cuts are even directionly.
Just tell me to Actually we're at fifty billion, one
hundred billion, ten billion, judge is saying on socialcurity, we're zero.
I know that's not true, So let's do it. Let's
get it on the table. That's to me a big
(23:11):
item of the cabinet, meaning ought to be that.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
And also the White House make a decision.
Speaker 8 (23:21):
Do you want it back to Isa Bill because they're
not The House can't handle two they got the ice
up as to deflect from the impeachment or are we
gonna be trumpion And let's go. Let's impeach the guy.
He's trying to step in the middle of him being
of the present being commander in chief. Help Venezuela's take
in the planes now. And Tom Holmet said, hey, they're
(23:42):
not gonna listen to the judge.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
Are gonna roll. So if we're gonna have a const
social crisis, let's just have it now.
Speaker 8 (23:46):
Why wait, Roberts and ACB. They don't want to handle
any of this stuff. The ones they've done so far,
they've kind of deferred to the opponents.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
Why why, why why delay this?
Speaker 8 (24:01):
Why push it back? Confront it now? Confront it now,
confront it now. The history of our movement shows that
every time we confront it, seventy five percent of the
time we win. And even when we lose it just temporarily,
we got resilience. We're anti fragile. Okay, so he would
(24:22):
Supreme Court and take it. We'll figure out something else.
That's the power of this movement. It's relentless, and it's growing,
and what feeds it is being on offense taking down
these institutions the lead. This is what they're saying over
the weekend the brand Financial Times of London.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
Oh it could be the end of the dollar empire. Wow?
Where did they get that? From? A just pure crib
from Birsch Cole and Stephen K.
Speaker 8 (24:49):
Bannon in the war room, very you know, very deep
thoughts everything that could be the end of the dollar empire.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
You know what they put it all to.
Speaker 8 (25:00):
It's classic what the elites do because at post war
we had Breton Woods and we had the IMF, and
we set up the World Bank, and we set up
NATO as a system of alliances and institutions. Yo, dude,
if Biden hadn't had nine trip which EJ and Tony's
put today, had nine trillion dollars spending, a deficit and
(25:23):
driven purchasing power of the dollalar down twenty two percent
four years. It doesn't matter if you've got great institutions
or no institutions. It's not an institutional thing. That's you,
once again trying to sell the post war international rules
based order.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
This comes down to federal spending.
Speaker 8 (25:38):
The reason that the bricks are around, the reason they're
talking about a potential goalback collection of securities ain't because
the World Bank's not giving them free money, not because
the IMF's not out there screwing everything up, Not because
the NATO's that the European.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
Elites not haven't put any money up for the defense.
Speaker 8 (25:55):
I could go on and on and on about your
phony argument about instututions. It's because of massive federal spending,
massive deficits. They have to re refinance ten trellion dollars
this year. Scott Beston's got to sell the purchase power
of the dollars down twenty two percent. Of these people,
(26:17):
they're smart enough to get that. They don't care about
the World Bank. Yes, this is more money laundering by
the elites. Every one of those institutions a money laundering operation,
whether they work or not work, is not the thing itself.
The signal is the massive federal spending. What it got
the companies to run for the exits? What got the
(26:37):
law firms cut them off of government contracts? Oh my god,
it's the end of the world as we know it.
Everybody's got their snout in the trough. A trough that
you underwrite is used to destroy you and your children
and your country.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
Use your Stephen K.
Speaker 9 (27:01):
Bath.
Speaker 8 (27:07):
So go check out birch Gold. End of the dollar empire,
get the real deal. We break all that down. But
they're selling. There's markets up what five hundred points this morning,
and last looked it's coming back. Gold's over three thousand bucks.
The end of the dollar empire is not related to
elite institutions like the World Bank, like the IMF, like NATO,
(27:32):
on and on and on. Is tied to Breton woods.
Are we going to be the prime reserve currency? It's
time to have a national debate about that in the
Federal Reserve.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
I know that, you know that.
Speaker 8 (27:45):
But the reason they're fleeing it is the twenty two
percent drop and purchasing power.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
These people are not fools.
Speaker 8 (27:49):
They're quite smart and they all have people went to Harvard, Stanford,
University of Chicago.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
They got them and they know how to work. In
HP twelve C.
Speaker 8 (27:59):
You can give you a net pro value discount, a
cash flow. Let me see, boss, let me do this,
Let me put this in there twenty three with the
Americans are spending deficits to training a year thirty seven
tree in the dead, and they good, let me do
this quickly.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
We're getting screwed. They can do that.
Speaker 8 (28:16):
So they're trying to sell you constantly why these institutions
are good for you and your kids and your country,
in your community. Constantly trying to sell you. Look around,
see what you see. The French poet said, see what
you see, only don't have a reality distortion field in there.
Don't walk around asleep like a bunch of sheeple awake.
(28:40):
You're an army of the awakened. You're an army of
the awakened. And Trump is a battering ram against the
elite institutions that have destroyed this republic, the lawlessness of
the law fair looking when they're on that you know,
up there saying this is terrible. You know they're using
these They could use this long because long. Look at
(29:01):
what you did to the American people for four years.
You ain't so tough. Now you're groveling for government contracts,
Paul Weiss and all your high faluting high moral order,
you know you and democracy for devenders of democracy, you're
they All they care about is putting their snout right
in the trough. As soon as you mentioned they ain't
(29:22):
getting government contracts. And guess what, none of their clients,
genius move ever thought that one up. Genius, not just you,
but anybody retains you. It's going to be eligible for
a government contract. Do you see, David Rose say that
as Almos like you had a heart attack. This is
the way you only you only you only beat them
(29:44):
by hitting them outside the head with a two x four.
That's a metaphor, don't want to put their heads on
pikes metaphor metaphor.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
Oh so good. Just don't back off.
Speaker 8 (29:58):
All gas, no break, impeach this dude.
Speaker 4 (30:02):
Don't sit there and get Ice. I'd love the fact.
Speaker 8 (30:04):
Yes, the thing of the rogue judges, and that's important,
but it's not as important as putting somebody through the process.
You put one through the process, they're all going to
be cheap. Put one through the grinder. Let's put the
guy that tried to become try to step between the
commander in chief and his duty of the national security
the United States of which I don't know the pollings
(30:24):
eighty twenty that we're winning on this one. I think
we want that one. Let me see, let me pick
A or B.
Speaker 4 (30:32):
I'll take B.
Speaker 8 (30:35):
Don't deflect, Johnson, grow a set and let's come in
and let's boom.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
Let's get on it.
Speaker 8 (30:42):
Roger Kimball, you've been around the neighborhood a while. Is
Stephen Collinson right at the sea at CNN is A
is A is a Uh. This is the biggest assault
on elite institutions since at least Andrew Jackson.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Sir Well, reading that piece, I couldn't help but laugh.
It's it is a perfect epitome of the ethic that
only we are allowed to do these things. You can't
do that only we are allowed to do.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
These sorts of things.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
It's a kind of Mary McCarthy sort of essay. You
remember that Mary McCarthy once said about Lilyan Hellman, the
playwright Lilyan Hellman, the communist playwright, Lillian Hellman, that everything
she said, including the words and in butt, were lies.
(31:40):
That's what this piece is like. It's I mean, it's
I mean, it's hilarious really, I mean, beginning with his
deployment of the word elite, what he means by elite
is credentialed. It's the credentialed class. It's the class that
has you know, abrogated to itself all of the societal
(32:05):
perks and power, and they feel like they are in charge. So,
for example, you were mentioning Colombia earlier, you know, does
somebody organized a joint letter signed actually by some people
who I know and respect. I'm surprised they signed it.
(32:26):
They basically said, the government may not threaten funding cuts
to pressure recipients into suppressing viewpoints and so on. Well,
what has the government been doing ever since you know,
The Great Society? Title six, Title nine, They said, if
you don't do these things that we want you to do,
(32:47):
that you know, transgender bathrooms, having women in sport men
in women's sports, and on and on and on, will
take your funding away. So that is exactly what Donald
Trump is doing here. They said, you know, it's not
McCarthy it you know, that's The New York Times had
(33:07):
a piece of this is the McCarthy tactic.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
No it's not.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
He didn't say you're not allowed to say these things.
It's just if you do, you're not going to get
government funding. Quite right, it seems to me. I mean,
and then you know, I mean this is an actually
it's an extory. I might write about this, this essay.
I mean, every single line is either a lie or
(33:30):
a you know, misrepresentation of what's going on. He says, well,
the Trump administration is trying to disempower the federal judiciary.
Speaker 4 (33:41):
No, it's not an Article two.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
The first line of Article two of the Constitution says
the executive power shall be vested in a president of
the United States. One doesn't say a president of the
United States taking hints from district judges in Tennessee or
Seattle or Washington. No, it's a president of the United States.
(34:04):
And I mean this this, this is the author of
this piece talks about alleged gang members, but they're not
alleged they are gang members. They're not migrants, as he said,
they're illegal immigrants who are raping and murdering and assaulting Americans.
I'm you know, among my little cabinet of world leaders
(34:27):
who I admire, mister Buchley is you know, top of
the heap. He completely uh you know, revolutionized El Salvador.
It used to be one of the most dangerous countries
in the world.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
Not anymore.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
He put them in jail, and I'm glad that these
guys from Venezuela who were here trying to assault Americans.
I'm glad that they're in that jail. And I don't
see how where this district judge, where all these judges,
where do they get the jurisdiction to say that they
can impinge upon presidential power, executive power. They somehow feel
(35:03):
that if they're sufficiently anti Trump, that makes them susceptible
to uh uh you know, acquiring little bits of executive power.
Speaker 4 (35:14):
But it doesn't.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
It's it's it's I mean, it's an extraordinary piece and
I'm glad you called my attention to it. Every line
of it, you know, right down to the insinuation of
the you know, the the argument Odd Hitler. You know,
towards the end he talks about dark parallels between the
Trump administration and the tactics of strong man leaders like
(35:37):
Victor Orbon. Victor Orbon has transformed his country into, you know,
one of the greatest countries in Europe. Now, it's an
extraordinary piece.
Speaker 8 (35:49):
You're at the forefront of these institutional and how important
it is for President Trump to leave our mark the populace,
nationalist marketing institutions, particularly Kennedy Center of the institutions of
high culture. Just as an update, So President, so vice president,
some President Trump goes, do we have the President Trump
piece at.
Speaker 4 (36:09):
At Kennedy Center? Is that ready? Not yet? It is ready?
Can let's play Trump at Kennedy Center? Okay, Hey, let's
play this Seping. I'm gonna bring it to the seats,
the decorps. Pretty much everything needs.
Speaker 5 (36:24):
A lot of work.
Speaker 8 (36:28):
The vice president at the.
Speaker 5 (36:30):
Kennidy Senate, I don't know about that.
Speaker 9 (36:33):
He's the most popular the vice president we've had in years.
Speaker 5 (36:36):
He's doing a great I don't know anything about it.
Speaker 4 (36:38):
I figured you'd ask you a question, mister president.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
We're we're talking about price wife and bring.
Speaker 5 (36:44):
Him to a bit of that.
Speaker 9 (36:47):
Whatever it is, I think, you know, it's such an
important part of the fabric of the country and of
d C.
Speaker 5 (36:54):
So we look, we want to do it right. We'll
do it right, and we'll do it once. So you
want a little richard like this, go ahead, Are.
Speaker 4 (37:06):
You guys ready?
Speaker 1 (37:07):
Come on, we're good for Speak to us later too
when we're closing.
Speaker 4 (37:11):
Right, Okay, thank you, passing this way. President Trump very subtly,
they're sending the messagering. He goes very subtle from the
presidential box. Roger.
Speaker 8 (37:23):
It was very important for President Trump to go, and
he's now chairman of the board. Rick Ernell's president. But
just just the trend line, so you know that.
Speaker 4 (37:32):
You know, JD.
Speaker 8 (37:33):
The Vice President went with his wife, the Second Lady,
on last week to see the symphony, and they were booed,
booed by the by the paladins of the Ministry State. However,
I've got breaking news. Sergio Gore and his posse went
last night to the Mark Twain Awards where Conan O'Brien
got the award, and they weren't booed. People just glared
(37:54):
at them for twenty.
Speaker 4 (37:55):
Minutes as they walked into the administration's box.
Speaker 8 (37:58):
So the trend lines what put is us for? Take
take culture back, sir.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
I mean it's you know, you mentioned Andrew Breitbart earlier.
Breitbart was right, politics is downstream from culture. We need
we need to recolonize American culture.
Speaker 4 (38:16):
Restore it.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
And you know, the Kennedy Centers is one beachhead. I mean,
I thought it was hilarious to return to this CNN
piece that they talked about elite bashing sentiments that Trump
is expressing by for example, naming Robert F. Kennedy, uh,
you know, to his to his position, and then they add,
(38:38):
of course a vaccine skeptic, not really explaining what Kennedy's
position on that is. But the idea that Robert F.
Kennedy is you know, a member of you know, some
an elite bashing coterie is hilarious.
Speaker 3 (38:54):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
But and the idea that somehow Trump's what he's whatever
he's going to do with the Kennedy said that he
is attacking a bastion of high culture.
Speaker 10 (39:03):
It's ridiculous too.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
I mean, this is the place that has you know,
you know, drag queens for divas and that sort of stuff.
It's you know, it's it's it's it is in a
playground for the leftist credential class, and it would be
nice to take that playground back for our own. I
(39:24):
mean again, I just want to stress it. The people
should understand that what is actually happening now is the
reason that the left is so up in arms is
that they're not used to this. Only we are allowed
to do these things, they say, you know, you can't
do it. Only we are allowed to do this. But
Trump has taken a different page and he's doing it
(39:47):
to them.
Speaker 4 (39:49):
Good for him, Roger. Where do people get you?
Speaker 8 (39:52):
Where they get your writings, your columns, your social media,
all of it?
Speaker 2 (39:56):
Oh yes, well I met Roger Kimball at Twitter or
x and I write for a bunch of places. So yeah, yeah,
there you go.
Speaker 8 (40:04):
Thank you brother, great take care of no better way
to kick off the week. Thank you, sir, Roger Kimball.
Speaker 9 (40:11):
Was it?
Speaker 8 (40:11):
Andrew Breitbart Run towards the fire? Andrew Breitbart said, cultures
up river from politics, run towards the fire.
Speaker 4 (40:19):
It's got that great. In fact, the engine room sent that.
Look at that right there is that amazing Andrew Brekbart
head toward the fire.
Speaker 8 (40:26):
Because you'll you'll set an example that you're unafraid.
Speaker 4 (40:31):
That's what we need right now, not that we need
to remind you of that, fixed Bannetts. We've got a.
Speaker 8 (40:38):
Lot of work to do, all the work to do,
and this audience can do it. The history is you've
done it before, over and over and over again. Short
break back in a moment, use your hosts even see
(41:07):
can we put that Andrew graphic back up? The Andrew
graphic was, you know, go towards the fire, right, go
to the go towards the fire. You will inspire other people.
Speaker 4 (41:19):
That's the philosophy of maga, that's the philosophy of war room.
Speaker 8 (41:24):
You inspire the people. And now we're in it both
in Wisconsin. You got this race down and got this
race down for Waltz's seat. They're both on April first.
You got the reciprocal tariffs the next day. If we
don't do well on the first, you wait. You see
the media onslaught in the reciprocity of the tariffs, or
(41:46):
what is looking out for main Street and for jobs?
Hyun Day twenty billion dollars. Another factory, big one in

Speaker 8 (43:01):
We finally started going on offense over the weekend economically
to lay out actually what the case is, let's play
Secretary Treasury Scott bessont ed dowd Is on decklass plan.
Speaker 9 (43:12):
I think you have a better beat on the fact
that this data is not as reliable as other administrations
would say they were in order to do whatever it
is they wanted to do anyway. So it's sort of like,
let me just find the data that justifies what my
action is. And part of why you can't, I think
tell the story is do you trust the GDP numbers?
Do you trust non farm payrolls? Do you think these
are reliable enough for you to act on behalf of
(43:36):
the United States?
Speaker 10 (43:37):
No, Look, they're subject to big revisions over time. And
I thought one of the big mistakes the Biden administration made,
and think goodness they made it was they refused to
be they went with the numbers, not what the American
people were feeling. They said, no, it's a vibe session,
(43:57):
and you really don't understand how good you have it.
You know, this has happened, This has happened.
Speaker 4 (44:04):
Okay.
Speaker 8 (44:06):
One of the ways they're mistated ed doubt is here
you've got your kind of metric model we're going to
talk about, and we're gonna hold you through the break.
Cabinet ME is supposed to start eleven. I don't think
they're quite moving around yet. We're gonna jump in there live.
Speaker 4 (44:18):
If the President opens up to media, which we hope
he does, is always great on some of the Q
and A.
Speaker 8 (44:23):
So we're standing by. But we have ed dout and
Carrie Lake ed's with us. Carry Lake's coming up ed
right there. The Biden they always have. They always put
out and they always go back and recast the labor number.
But the GDP number is also phony that they gave
us what number one. It's phony is that you do
(44:43):
have to go in and look at GDP. I think
without massive federal spending when you're running these kind of
massive deficits.
Speaker 4 (44:49):
Your your thoughts, sir.
Speaker 5 (44:51):
I totally agree.
Speaker 11 (44:53):
Look, what Scott was referring to during twenty twenty four
was the fact that GDP numbers were positive.
Speaker 5 (44:59):
But we looked peel back the onion.
Speaker 11 (45:01):
It was a legal immigration, which is a huge elephant
in the room new economic raid. Well, you can't bring
in ten million individuals officially, that's the border encounters. It's
probably more like fifteen funded by NGOs and giving government
goodies and not affect the economy temporarily. So that and
government spending in addition, government payroll jobs added. The real
(45:24):
wage growth was minus two percent going into the election
for the middle class. That happened under Ronald Reagan. He
was elected in the landslide. Bill Clinton had the same
dynamic in ninety two, and so despite the rosy GDP
numbers we had last year, the real average person was feeling.
Speaker 5 (45:41):
It in the wallet.
Speaker 11 (45:42):
And that was why one of the major reasons why
Donald Trump swept in there.
Speaker 5 (45:46):
So Scott Besson's absolutely right.
Speaker 8 (45:51):
Walt me through that, Walt me through that one more time,
to just hit that again.
Speaker 4 (45:55):
What was that? I I want to be sure I
understand it.
Speaker 5 (45:58):
On the real real wage growth.
Speaker 4 (46:02):
Yep.
Speaker 5 (46:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (46:04):
So basically, if you look at real wage growth, it
was minus two percent, and every time it hits that number,
there's a presidential change. Nineteen eighty real wage growth is
minus two percent. Ronald Reagan's swept in landslide. Then when
you know, he restructured the economy. He had a two
year recession and then he restructured it and we came
(46:26):
out into a boom. Bill Clinton had a minus two
percent real wage growth when Bush was ousted, and Carbo
famously said, it's the economy stupid. And coming into this election,
we have the same dynamic minus two percent real wage growth.
Speaker 5 (46:42):
And if you look at.
Speaker 11 (46:43):
This charge here from our economic report, you can see
the disparity between the PMI and our GDP growth Usually
PMI and GDP growth track and recessions track. You probably
should have had a recession in twenty twenty four. We didn't,
and it was it was held up by massive government spending.
Crisis level deficit spending we had. We had sent deficit
(47:06):
spending that we did during the Great Financial Crisis. What
was the crisis? The crisis was who did Biden reelected?
Speaker 8 (47:15):
Hangover second ed, we're going to hold you through the
break and go through your new model. What disturbed me
the reason I wanted to have you on here. The
FED the other day talked about and everybody's focus on
a cut. Hey I'm not I'm not a fan of
a cut right now because what we'll do to inflation
and prices. But they talked about two cuts later in
the year. But the buried lead no one talked about,
(47:37):
is they downgraded the growth. They said the growth is
going to be under two percent one point seventy five
and kind of left it at that, said it was
tied to tariffs, which is nonsense. Tariffs is what bringing
the massive capital investment in the United States from all
these major companies. They're coming back. They're reshoring, they're reshoring.
(48:02):
We'd leave you with the right stuff. We're going to
be back in ninety seconds. President Trump has a planned
on a cabinet meeting this morning. Elon Musk is supposedly
going to be there. We hope they start talking about
doze and putting some meat on the bones of where
this fraud's coming from, because we need to see it.
(48:24):
That will put our critics on a back foot. It's
time to go on offense. Treasury's going on offense. President
Trump's going on offense. Mike Davis and company are offense.
We need the House, the Senate, other parts of the
administration offense, offense, offense, fixed bannets. They will crumble if confronted.
(48:47):
Our opponents are gutless. Our opponents have no platform to
stand on. Our opponents are anti American worker, anti American
