| You're watching President Trump give a speech at the American Policy Institute. | ||
| We're going to cover it here live on War Room. | ||
| We'll be back as soon as the speech is over. | ||
| We are a nation that no longer has a free and fair press. | ||
| Fake news is all you get, and they are the true enemy of the people. | ||
| We are a nation where free speech is no longer allowed, where crime is rampant like never before, where the economy has been collapsing, where more people died of COVID in 2021 than died in 2020. | ||
| We are a nation that is allowing Iran to build a massive nuclear weapon, which they are incredibly being allowed to do right now as we speak. | ||
| Would have never happened under President Trump. | ||
| They were dying to make a deal. | ||
| They would have made a deal with us right after the election. | ||
| And it would have been a good deal. | ||
| And China is being allowed to use the trillions and trillions of dollars it has taken from us to build a military the likes of which possibly the world has never seen. | ||
| And this also would never have happened with us. | ||
| The level of speed with which they're going, it's a very dangerous thing. | ||
| And just two years ago, we had Iran, China, Russia, and North Korea in check. | ||
| They weren't going to do a thing against us, and everyone knows it, especially those leaders. | ||
| And perhaps most importantly, we are a nation that is no longer respected or listened to around the world. | ||
| We are a nation that, in many ways, has become a joke. | ||
| We are a nation that is hostile to liberty and freedom and faith. | ||
| We are a nation whose economy is floundering, whose stores are not stocked, whose deliveries are not coming, and whose educational system is ranked at the bottom of every list. | ||
| But we are not going to let this continue. | ||
| Two years ago, we had the greatest. | ||
| There's never been anything like it, two years ago. | ||
| Greatness like no one had ever seen. | ||
| There's never been anything. | ||
| We were outlapping China at levels that they never thought possible. | ||
| China always thought they were going to be the world's biggest economy by 2018, 2019 at the latest. | ||
| And they weren't even close because we were out-distancing something that they never thought could happen. | ||
| But soon we will have greatness again. | ||
| With all my heart and all my soul, I firmly believe that the American people will reject a fate of decline, demoralization, and ultimately a fate of defeat. | ||
| And I believe that we will come together and choose instead a future of renewal, revival, Recovery, resurgence, and, in the end, a nation that is more exceptional than it ever was before. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I believe we can do that. | |
| America's story is far from over. | ||
| And, in fact, we are just getting ready for an incredible comeback, a comeback that we have no choice but to make. | ||
| We don't have a choice. | ||
| We won't have a country if we don't make it. | ||
| Through strength, we will restore our safety. | ||
| Through hard work, we will rebuild our prosperity. | ||
| Through courage, we will reclaim our liberty. | ||
| Through love, we will repair our unity. | ||
| Through success, we will rediscover our pride. | ||
| And through unyielding determination together, we will make America stronger, safer, freer, greater, and more glorious than ever before. | ||
| Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| It's been a great honor. | ||
| Thank you. | ||

Let's hear another round of applause for President Trump. | |
| Okay, let's go to Chris Carter. | ||
| This is Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| You're in the War Room. | ||
| President Donald J. Trump just finished a major address at the America First Policy Institute. | ||
| This is one of these many policy institutes that have sprung up. | ||
| We have Russ Vaud and other people on. | ||
| He got CPI. | ||
| What Russ Vaud is doing is renewing America. | ||
| He got AFPI, America First Policy Institute. | ||
| He gave a policy speech today. | ||
| Let's go to Real America's Voice, Chris Carter. | ||
| I believe it's the Marriott Marquis here in Washington, D.C. | ||
| Chris Carter is there live. | ||
| Chris, give us your assessment of the speech, sir. | ||
| Okay, don't have Chris Carter? | ||
| Okay, fine, fantastic. | ||
| Am I going to get Chris Carter? | ||
| Okay, just a moment. | ||
| Okay, Stephen K. Bannon here. | ||
| We just had a speech. | ||
| You know, it was interesting. | ||
| I don't want to say it was low energy because it was not a rally speech. | ||
| It was a policy speech, so you're not going to get President Trump going off along these classic riffs that he does on occasions at the rally speeches. | ||
| But he did, it was a very detailed policy speech. | ||
| I'm still trying to find the structure in it. | ||
| We'll get into that. | ||
| We've got Matthew Tiermond, who's live there. | ||
| We're going to get to Matthew in a moment. | ||
| We've got Boris Epstein. | ||
| We're going to have some analysis of this speech. | ||
| First time back in Washington, D.C. | ||
| from the day that he left in, what, January 20th of 2021. | ||
| Let's go to Chris Carter of Real America's Voice. | ||
| Chris, give us your assessment. | ||
| You saw the whole thing in the room. | ||
| Tell us your thoughts. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow, this was an amazing policy speech by Donald Trump. | |
| When he came back to Washington, we knew he was going to say a lot. | ||
| But this was a speech focused mostly on law and order. | ||
| We heard consistently about how these towns all across the nation run by Democratic leadership have let their cities pretty much just fall into shambles. | ||
| And then the border. | ||
| He went extensively into what he'd done with the border and some of these world leaders, primarily the nation of Mexico, getting to pay their fair share. | ||
| Trying to help us control the border, putting those 28,000 troops on the border. | ||
| And he also went on to say the thing that the big news media hates the most. | ||
| The election was stolen. | ||
| It wasn't right what happened to this country, and this country should be ashamed. | ||
| In fact, he called it a disgrace. | ||
| So he covered a lot of ground quickly here. | ||
| He spoke for about an hour and a half, and this was a standing room crowd only of Ultramaga supporters. | ||
| Well, when you say ultra-MAGA supporters, you know, Mediaite's breaking a story right now that on CNN the other day, the PR, the guy in charge of communications, Mark Lauder, said right on CNN that President Trump lost the election. | ||
| I think there's half of the audience there today. | ||
| Half of the people at the American... I hate to be brutally frank about it, but I don't think very many of them are members of the 3 November. | ||
| So, Chris, I... | ||
| Beg to differ. | ||
| I'm not sure there's a whole lot of people that have dedicated themselves to making sure we can decertify the election. | ||
| I think that half of the people on the names, at least half the names at the American First Policy Institute Believe Trump lost the election. | ||
| Mark Lauder is head of communications. | ||
| I'm going to put this up in a second. | ||
| In fact, I'll get it to Denver that we can play it. | ||
| Mediaites reporting he gave an interview with Jim Acosta. | ||
| And Acosta says that Joe Biden won the election. | ||
| And Mark Lauder says, yes, he won the election. | ||
| And that is not the belief. | ||
| of the war room. | ||
| I'm going to get this to our producer, Cameron, and he will get it to Denver. | ||
| I want to play this a little later. | ||
| So look, I beg to differ. | ||
| There were some interesting things in there, but I thought it was more of a laundry list. | ||
| I didn't see thematically. | ||
| I thought he was going to go into the Axios reporting this week about the deconstruction ministry state is the most, I think, detailed theory of the case of government I've seen. | ||
| And he made one passing reference to it. | ||
| In fact, people were tweeting me that he says he wants the ability to fire bureaucrats. | ||
| Well, actually the policy is much, much deeper than that. | ||
| I'll be honest with you, for something I was looking forward to, thought it was going to be fantastic, first time back, I didn't get it. | ||
| You said inside the room, how's it received? | ||
| Because we heard just a smattering, a lot of applause early, but just a smattering later on. | ||
| What was the perception in the room? | ||
|
unidentified
|
The energy level was very high, but just like you indicated, he started out pretty strong, and then he got into a really heavy policy discussion about what's gone wrong. | |
| You know, the worst start to the stock market in over a hundred years. | ||
| Gas, all-time high since they started keeping records. | ||
| All these basic, common-sense things. | ||
| And you're right, the tone did subside a little bit. | ||
| People have been waiting and frankly there were a few supporters that showed up I think outside but they weren't making much of a ruckus at all. | ||
| People were listening very intently to what the former president had to say. | ||
| Looking for a little bit of a layout as we go down the road here and seeing what he wants to do and what kind of platform he would run on if he announced but It was a little bit more subdued than maybe what we've seen on the campaign trail in the past, but I think the president's pacing himself for basically what's going to be the longest re-election campaign in American political history. | ||
| Chris, I want to ask you, you were in the room. | ||
| He did make something I thought was quite fascinating. | ||
| He went after the January 6th committee to say, look, here's what they're trying to do. | ||
| They're trying to make it that I can't go back and have my job again. | ||
| I mean, he was making the case, hey, I'm here to work for the American people. | ||
| He talked about crime. | ||
| He talked about things he's going to do in the city. | ||
| Some concepts about real estate, other things that create value. | ||
| But then he talked about January 6th. | ||
| Did you pick that up too, that he was actually laying out the case to the American people? | ||
| That, hey, they're trying to stop me from even having the potential to take on the Democrats. | ||
| Did you take it that way or am I misreading that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think he's alluding to that fact a little bit, but you don't really need to state the obvious to this room because anybody in tune politically knows that so many of our people, including yourself, have been caught up in this charade, this political circus. | |
| When is it going to stop? | ||
| When are these people that are elected to office going to get down and do the business to the American people? | ||
| And you're right. | ||
| They are absolutely terrified of Donald Trump. | ||
| Chris, you've been following this for a long time. | ||
| You're following the campaign. | ||
| You're following Trump. | ||
| You're probably one of the guys that have more perception of this than just about anybody. | ||
| Would your sense be that you feel that you see Trump announcing in the next, let's say, month, the month of August, about the presidency? | ||
| Or do you think that he'll wait until after the midterms? | ||
| What's your betting today after you've seen this first-time return to Washington and seen this major policy address? | ||
|
unidentified
|
The vibe that I get, Steve, is basically they're pulling the reins back on a stallion that wants to announce he wants to run the race. | |
| But they also know that the political temperature in Washington and across the nation is so volatile. | ||
| They're going after people's families. | ||
| They're going after people personally. | ||
| You know this. | ||
| He has a lot of baggage to carry around. | ||
| But when you look at the base and you look at Republican politics and conservatism in general, there's Donald Trump or there's nothing. | ||
| Chris, how do people get you on social media? | ||
| How do they follow you on Real America's Voice? | ||
|

You can follow me on CarterRox.com or any of the various handles. | |

| Always in the thick of it here in Washington, D.C. | ||
| Thank you, Chris. | ||
| Really appreciate it. | ||
| Let's go to Matthew. | ||
| We have our own Matthew. | ||
| You're Tirman. | ||
| He's not on the Ukrainian border. | ||
| He's actually right outside the ballroom. | ||
| Matthew, we've got about a minute. | ||
| Put us in the room, and then we're going to take a short commercial break and come back to you, sir. | ||

|
You know what kept running through my head as I listened to this? | |
| This reminded me of Enoch Powell's Rivers of Blood speech. | ||
| 90% of the content was crime. | ||
| You don't have a country if your cities and your public spaces are absolute chaos and anarchy. | ||
| He cited example of example in the Kate Steinle mold of just violent crime in New York, Chicago, Baltimore, San Francisco, LA, etc. | ||
| The NASCAR driver last week. | ||
| and he really drilled down on this is what the Dems are doing to our society, to our country, and they're ruining it from within. We need to be tough on law and order. | ||
| He did go around some of the fringes of other big C cultural war and conservative issues, but this was it just reminded me of Reed Enoch Powell's Rivers of Blood. It's that. | ||
| Matthew, Matthew, Matthew, hang on one second. | ||
| We're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| I already know Madeline Peltz's headline over at Media Matters. | ||
| Matthew Tierman war room equates Trump's speech to Enoch Powell rivers of blood. | ||
| We're going to be back in a moment. | ||
| We got Matthew Tierman live at the Marriott Marquis. | ||
| Boris Epstein will also join me. | ||
| All next in the War Room. | ||

We rejoice when there's no more, let's take down the T.T.P. | |
| Day of our lives. | ||
| War Room. | ||
| Pandemic. | ||
| With Stephen K. Bannon. | ||

The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | |
| War Room. | ||
| Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Okay, freshly back from the Polish-Ukrainian border, and now at the Marriott Marquis in Washington, D.C., Matthew Tierman was there live. | ||
| Matthew, you made an analogy that I know Madeleine Peltz is, her hair is on fire right now. | ||
| You compared this part of it To the Enoch Powell River of Blood speech. | ||
| And people should know that was a speech where he was talking about the crime and disorder. | ||
| And let's say this, Enoch was not a friend of immigration. | ||
| What did you mean about the part of Trump's speech to talk about law and order chaos in the major democratic run cities in this country, comparing it to Enoch Powell, sir? | ||
|
unidentified
|
So there are certainly lateral corollaries with the immigration facet of breaking, of law and order breaking down. | |
| Enoch Powell was writing about a Britain that was starting to be remade demographically by immigration from its former Commonwealth colonies that had started to immigrate en masse. | ||
| It's more than that. | ||
| and he said there would be rivers of blood if this is not under control. | ||
| And Trump made very, very similar corollaries to the law and order breakdown, with immigration being a component of it. | ||
| He talked about Mexico and the dumping ground of the criminality from Central and South America that Mexico allowed to pass through their borders. | ||
| But it's more than that. | ||
| It's the cultural degradation of our inner cities with not just, you know, third world migrants, but with people who have been failed by parentless homes, by broken education systems, and crippling poverty. | ||
| And what is the tie that binds in all of these facets? | ||
| Democrat governance, the Democrat union teachers complex, education complex, the welfare system, he cited, you know, an old idea, workfare, you know, you have to, if you're able bodied and you want welfare and public benefits that are better than our veterans benefits, then you have to, you know, demonstrate that you're trying to work or work in some capacity. | ||
| These are somewhat common sense things. | ||
| And now people across this country, I live in Chicago, I moved from New York, I live in Chicago part-time, part-time in Miami. | ||
| But Chicago is, you know, I watch cops getting chases with carjackers every single night on Lakeshore Drive. | ||
| Gunshots every single night. | ||
| It's the worst it ever was. | ||
| 90% of his speech in an hour and 40 minutes was citing examples of law and order breaking down and Democrat governance allowing it, if not perpetuating it. | ||
| Cites the Zeldin, you know, assassination attempt and Cass was bailed. | ||
| Cites Philadelphia. | ||
| He didn't mention Krasner by name or Bragg by name in New York or Tessa Booten. | ||
| But he talked about, you know, the Democrat city's governance is a cancer that is making people from all sides of the political spectrum feel unsafe. | ||
| And I actually think it's very, very smart. | ||
| His first speech back in D.C., he's hitting upon an issue that affects everyone. | ||
| Everybody, right, left or center, is scared now to go on the New York City subway or be out in Chicago at night. | ||
| I live in Chicago. | ||
| They board up the Hermes stores on Oak Street because it's so rampant and the cops have their hands tied behind their back. | ||
| He talked about Defenestrating that policy, letting cops be cops, putting more federal money into national police complex, task force with DHS and DOJ to break up the gangs. | ||
| This is like Enoch Powell. | ||
| It was very focused on our society will degrade and break down if we do not get a handle on this tailwind of anarchy and violence and lawlessness. | ||
| And Trump astutely correctly put the blame where it lies, on Democrat party politics and governance. | ||
| And it worked very, very well in the room. | ||
| He touched upon some other big C conservative culture war issues. | ||
| He did say, you know, no men in women's sports. | ||
| That got a standing ovation. | ||
| He said he ad-libbed that one. | ||
| It wasn't on the prompter because some of his people said it was too controversial. | ||
| That actually got the biggest applause line because there's a little bit of a pivot from the law and order facet of this big threat. | ||
| Matthew, let me ask you, you mentioned he went on about the 100,000 homeless throughout the country, Democratic policies. | ||
| He is a real estate developer, talked about what you could do in these cities. | ||
| Walk me through, he had a focus on homelessness and how homelessness was a policy of Democrats that was exacerbating the level of anarchy in the cities. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So, Trump, like myself, is a New Yorker, and he was there. | |
| He made his sort of fortune. | ||
| He got big in the 1980s, and that's when I grew up in New York City, in Brooklyn and Manhattan. | ||
| And, you know, you read Tom Wolfe, Bonfire, and you hear about the famous policy. | ||
| He said, if you don't fight the homelessness, And you get violence everywhere. | ||
| Drug addiction, violence, massive poverty. | ||
| And so he was, after seeing New York's resurgence under Giuliani with broken windows, he actually had a somewhat radical idea, which probably the ACLU would be up in arms about. | ||
| We need to make encampments, which I had images of, you know, the Hoovervilles during the Depression. | ||
| You need to set up land on the periphery of the urban areas. | ||
| And round up the homeless that are all over the inner cities, in Chicago, in San Francisco, in Philadelphia, in New York, that are harassing the good citizens of these formerly fair bourgs and have made them look like Gotham City. | ||
| And you need to bring them to encampments, set up the tents, and bring in medical professionals, psychologists, rehab and addiction specialists, and try and consolidate these people and then get them on their feet from there. | ||
| You can't do it slapdash by just throwing money at shelters through democratic political urban systems Because look at de Blasio's wife and how much crap. | ||
| Hundreds of millions of dollars went to consultants. | ||
| Nothing went to solving the homeless problem. | ||
| And he knows that. | ||
| He's a New Yorker. | ||
| Hang on for one second, Matthew. | ||
| I want to bring in Boris Epstein and get Boris' take, but I want to come back and talk to you about national security and international affairs and geopolitics. | ||
| Boris, give us your assessment. | ||
| You've watched the speech. | ||
| You've been keeping a close eye on President Trump and what's going on. | ||
| The speech today, principally a domestic policy speech, it sounded like, but what's your hot take on it? | ||
| Steve, undoubtedly a law and order speech from President Trump, a robust speech, a power speech. | ||
| The president laying out in his first time back in Washington, D.C. | ||
| since that tough day on Jan. | ||
| 20, 2021, when he left being the legitimate 45th, 46th, and as we hope and expect, 47th president. | ||
| left DC from Florida, Jan 20. Now he's back today laying out everything that's wrong with our country and focusing on law and order. Because it is up for Americans, for all people all across the world, it is all about security. It's financial security, but more importantly, it's personal physical security. And Americans are losing that security, especially inside cities. | ||
| Might be in New York, Chicago, Atlanta, LA, so on and so forth. And that's what the president laid out. That's what he focused on. That also hit some social issues. There was a robust speech. | ||
| I mean, look at the timing, I think over an hour and a half, maybe way over that. | ||
| And the president, again, if you compare him to Joe Biden, who right now is recovering, whatever he's doing, he's got quite a bit of money. | ||
| One day he's got cancer, another day he's got COVID. | ||
| Guy doesn't know whether he's coming or going. | ||
| Joe Biden can't give a three-minute talk without being all over the place. | ||
| President Trump gives a powerhouse speech on policy, and this is, you know, a speech on policy now that follows several recent policy speeches, including on the importance of the Second Amendment. | ||
| Hang on for one second because I want to go back to Matthew on a comment you just made. | ||
| Matthew, Boris referred to the president as the legitimate president and he talked about the first day back since he left on January 20th of 2021. | ||
| And President Trump went there. | ||
| President Trump talked about the election. | ||
| I felt in watching, you can see the room a little bit freeze up. | ||
| How bold was that for Trump's first return in the middle of the January 6th committee, right? | ||
| And he actually said, he made a comment, as I talked to Chris Carter, Real America's Voice, he made a comment, this is all about trying to stop me from coming back and doing my job again. | ||
| Matthew Tierman, your assessment. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So, I think the room was very, very with him on everything he said. | |
| When he said, you know, I won in 2020 more than 2016, you know, in the sort of midsection and the standing areas in front of the media segment, people were screaming, clapping. | ||
| You know, obviously, our state leadership in these first few rows, they sit on their hands, plus they, you know, walk into another hit piece they're trying to avoid because many of them aren't spineless. | ||
| But again, you had the members of Congress there who have balls. | ||
| I mean, the ones like Mary Miller in Illinois, who just survived a district merge, and there was a squish they wanted to have take that seat, and she gets to have those who are willing, who are not backing down from the fight, who support him overwhelmingly. | ||
| I think the room, obviously AFPI has, you know, some mixed Okay, we just lost Matthew. | ||
| Let's try to reboot him because I want to keep him there live, see if we can reboot him. | ||
| Boris, your thoughts. | ||
| President Trump was not shy. | ||
| Now, this is the first day back. | ||
| They're essentially running, hang on, they're running a show trial. | ||
| They're running a show trial to basically get to that part of the Constitution where you're an insurrectionist that you can't run again. | ||
| He brought it up. | ||
| He said the whole purpose of this thing is to, I think the quote was, not allow me to come back and do my job, or words to that effect. | ||
| How bold a move was that? | ||
| It was a bold move. | ||
| It's exactly what we expect from President Donald J. Trump. | ||
| That's exactly who he is. | ||
| He calls it out like he sees it. | ||
| You see it all the time on Truth Social. | ||
| He's not mincing words. | ||
| He's calling it exactly what it is. | ||
| It's a kangaroo court. | ||
| It's a witch hunt. | ||
| Even in letters that have to do with some people we know pretty well, if you know what I'm saying. | ||
| The president's been very, very upfront, calling the people thugs and hacks and thugs, right? | ||
| Who are perpetrating this charade against him. | ||
| So yeah, he's in your face. | ||
| And by the way, I will tell you, I am very much strongly jealous of President Trump only having to be in D.C. | ||
| now for the first time since January 2020-21. | ||
| Now, you know, the swamp is a place that's definitely nice to escape. | ||
| And I hope that, unless absolutely necessary, he doesn't come back until at the earliest, Jan 20, 2025, when he's sworn in as the next President of the United States. | ||
| The morning of. | ||
| Yeah, I don't think there's any need to come in and out, you know, the whole thing. | ||
| No, no, hang on. | ||
| It's perfect irony because he left and flew to Mar-a-Lago around 11.30 in the morning. | ||
| He had to leave Mar-a-Lago that morning and get there about You know, 1130, and then go to whoever's at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. | ||
| Whatever regime is at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, pick them up, and we'll meet you at the Capitol, right? | ||
| Yeah, we'll skip the tea this time. | ||
| Okay, we'll skip the tea. | ||
| Skip the coffee. | ||
| No coffee. | ||
| There's no need for the coffee. | ||
| I will tell you something that's very interesting. | ||
| You know, if you look at the media today and the blue checkmark Twitter and all that, how obsessed they are. | ||
| And how absolutely deranged they are, and how dominant in their minds President Donald J. Trump is. | ||
| I mean, this is literally like Caesar coming back to Rome, right? | ||
| Love him, don't love him, whatever it is, but it's all the news, that's all they think about. | ||
| Joe Biden's literally like a couple blocks away, you know? | ||
| Nothing, nothing. | ||
| Crickets. | ||
| It's crickets. | ||
| They got a picture of him with his dog, whatever it is. | ||
| While President Trump is holding forth on what actually matters to our country. | ||
| Let's take a short break. | ||
| It was like a President of the United States, right? | ||
| President Trump returns to Washington, D.C. | ||
| Short break. | ||
| We're going to try to get Tierman back up at the location. | ||
| Boris and I are going to talk about this and also the Cook Report and the House races. | ||

| Okay, I want to go back to Matthew Terman. | ||
| He's actually at the location where the speech was given. | ||
| Matthew, Boris just brought up the blue check. Twitter was in full meltdown because Donald Trump actually returned to the Capitol like Caesar. And you could tell he had a command presence. | ||
| One of the things I found odd, Matthew, and one of the reasons I was so excited about having you there, you're one of the best experts, I think, geopolitically on international events and how they tie back to domestic politics and to the American people. Besides talking about China and some trade, I mean, am I wrong? Because it was an hour and 30 minutes and I tried to focus on the entire thing. Did he really get into international affairs? Did he really get into Ukraine? Was there any discussion of that really in any depth at all? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. The only sort of... | |
| Goodbye. | ||
| Foreign policy facet was talking about immigration. | ||
| That was the majority of it. | ||
| He mentioned at the end you could feel like he was trying to catch up from a little bit of a laundry list of other things he wanted to touch upon. | ||
| He did say at the 90-minute mark, he went about 100 minutes, the 90-minute mark, | ||
| You know, this has been very much a security and, you know, personal safety-focused speech, but I could talk about so many issues, and then he rattled some off, and he talked about NAFTA and the USMCA and Chinese tariffs that we need to absolutely defend, but there was no mention of Russia except for one word, which is, you know, we should be selling our natural gas, our oil to Europe, not Russia, which he's 100% correct on, and he had done. | ||
| U.S. | ||
| was a net raw energy exporter, and as a As somebody who's in Poland, the Polish government was thrilled when they built a Baltic pipeline to be buying LNG from Chenier and Chesapeake and other players in Texas and all over the U.S. | ||
| So, no, it's very, very domestic. | ||
| And, you know, I think the symbolism of it is this country's falling apart right now. | ||
| You know, every weekend on Monday morning, we get headlines that, you know, 50, 60, 70 people were shot in Chicago, and they're not doing anything about it. | ||
| And so he gets to come back to the D.C. | ||
| and say, I leave the place alone for 17 months, and this is what the country looks like. | ||
| And it's nowhere more resonant and relevant to the normal American who sees the local news, not, you know, USA Today or the National Cyber Network, but the local news that crime is rampant. | ||
| and then you also talk about the other rampant uh... you know dynamic that's hurting normal american people and that's place it'll be to to gas and prices up you times but this is very very very good that's what i think right that we've waited check dot checkmark is going nuts right now are you know what he said we need to bring back stop and frisk i smart because that was you know it's a few will spend it pretty juliani and it worked it of new york on the state is big city in the country of not the world | ||
| and so now of course blue top blue up check with the public sector racist policies like this but it's not racist They work. | ||
| They work in the inner city. | ||
| And so, you know, he comes in symbolically riding in on his horse and says, this country's a mess and here's how we're going to fix it for normal people. | ||
| I think it's going to, this speech will resonate with a lot of people who aren't even big pro-Trump people because they see it every day in their neighborhoods, how bad it is. | ||
| And you're right about AFPI. | ||
| You know, if memory serves, I think it was Brooke Rollins and Jared Kushner who pushed the first step back and, you know, reducing a lot of prison sentences and being soft on crime. | ||
| So a little bit of an odd dichotomy. | ||
| Hang on one second. | ||
| Boris, what was the logic? | ||
| He could have talked about a lot of things, and he's an expert on geopolitics. | ||
| He knows the situation in the Ukraine better than anybody. | ||
| He understands what's happening in the South China Sea around Taiwan. | ||
| Why do you think, is it because Brooke Rollins was his domestic policy chair, and the AFP's got a little more of a domestic policy center of gravity? | ||
| Or did Trump make a strategic decision to say, hey, this is how I think I can get people who, you know, a lot of groups who think Orange Man's bad, when I talk about the crime, the anarchy, and the chaos in the major cities of the United States. | ||
| Boris Epstein. | ||
| No doubt about it. | ||
| I think it's probably a combination, but more of it is the latter, Steve. | ||
| Again, what are the issues that matter to the American public right now, right? | ||
| It's inflation, which has run away, no doubt about it. | ||
| President Trump's hit it time and time and time again. | ||
| And it's personal security and safety, the skyrocketing crime. | ||
| And now here President Trump is in an inner city, let's be honest, in Washington, D.C., a town that is having a very, very tough time with crime. | ||
| Sadly, we know that. | ||
| You know, personally, you know, spending a lot of our time there, living there. | ||
| And he's calling like he sees it. | ||
| And by the way, also, he's calling out to the folks in power who are wasting all this time on the J6 nonsense and all this and the investigations. | ||
| Hey, why are you not protecting our kids? | ||
| Why are you not protecting our schools? | ||
| Why are you not protecting our streets? | ||
| The message is clear as day. | ||
| The Democrats don't have their priorities straight. | ||
| They never really have, but now they're more crooked than ever. | ||
| They're more crooked than Crooked Hillary. | ||
| Their priorities are so upside down. | ||
| And really, their priority, President Trump said this, their number one priority is this. | ||
| It's take down President Trump. | ||
| That is all they care about. | ||
| They don't care about our country. | ||
| They don't care about our people. | ||
| They don't care about safety. | ||
| They don't care about security. | ||
| They are just so Trump-obsessed. | ||
| And hey, he came into Washington, D.C. | ||
| for the first time in, what, 17, 18 months? | ||
| And send the facts to their face, which is the country has gone down the tubes since he left, and they're trying to do everything they can to prevent him from doing his job again. | ||
| Let's go back to Matthew Tierman. | ||
| Matthew, closing thoughts. | ||
| You were there for the entire time. | ||
| You've also been at the policy conference. | ||
| What are your thoughts about what was put forward today? | ||
| And how do you see this playing? | ||
| And also, do you think, is your sense that President Trump is closer to announcing? | ||
| Or do you think making this policy speech, he'll go out and do some other speeches, some other rallies, but await to after November 8th, sir? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think closer. | |
| You know, today there's one line he said, you know, we may have to do it again after talking about the 2020 steal and how he won more than in 16. | ||
| He said, but we'll have to do it again and we'll win again. | ||
| And the room was very, very ebullient about that. | ||
| This is why he chose this issue, is because this is a Main Street USA issue in a moment when Main Street is hurting. | ||
| In 2016, he came in as an outsider and whacked down 16 career politicians, from a governor of New York and a governor of Virginia who came in last, to many pontificating senators, and John Kasich was both. | ||
| He was both a legislator in DC and in Columbus as an executive. | ||
| And he was common sense. | ||
| He was common sense on the border. | ||
| He was common sense on immigration. | ||
| He was common sense on tax policy and trade policy and bringing jobs back. | ||
| And now the common sense issues are energy. | ||
| We have the most of it in the world. | ||
| Drill and bring down the prices and that will help with inflation. | ||
| Inflation in and of itself. | ||
| The regulatory regime that he was able to beat back a little bit in year one and year two, you know, that's common sense. | ||
| End crime. | ||
| You can't defund the police. | ||
| He's calling for national reciprocal concealed carry. | ||
| That's a common sense constitutional issue. | ||
| He's calling for if the cities are burning, we'll send in the National Guard. | ||
| That's common sense. | ||
| I don't think he's going to get too into the weeds in the next few months on things like Russia or Ukraine that are super nuanced. | ||
| I think he's going to focus on the common sense issues that are hurting or affecting American people day to day as this country's going to hell in a handbasket. | ||
| You know, he came in and said, is it better now? | ||
| You know, 187 gas when I left. | ||
| Now it's, you know, seven, eight bucks in LA. | ||
| So he's going to ride in and focus on these issues. | ||
| And I think by focusing on it, he's setting himself up to announce before the midterms. | ||
| I think he's getting ready. | ||
| And, you know, I think the room is starting to feel that as well. | ||
| Matthew, to your mind, you're going on an assignment for us. | ||
| Where are you heading out to and how do people get to you on social media and follow you? | ||
|
unidentified
|
So I'm going, I was supposed to go to Munich tonight, but Lufthansa, you know, the Germans can't, they're supposed to do so everything right, but they can't do anything right, they cancelled my flight, so I'm leaving tomorrow. | |
| So I'll be with you, I think, again tomorrow, but I'm going to Hungary to speak in Estragon, which is Fidesz's conservative summer youth festival. | ||
| Then going to Slovenia, Italy, before coming back to the U.S., and I'll be reporting for you from those places, and we'll obviously be in contact to talk about all these sailing issues. | ||
| And Matthew, come on, get her. | ||
| And Tiermont, you're also on Twitter, too, as I remember. | ||
| You come in a little hot every now and again on Twitter, as I remember. | ||
| Finally, from the Ohio Primary, I think I remember, you came in a little hot there on occasions. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, well, whenever I'm in a bad mood, I attack the same people I did in Ohio. | |
| It makes me feel good. | ||
| So, yeah, getter, Twitter, Matthew Tiermont. | ||
| Matthew Tierman, thank you very much. | ||
| See you tomorrow. | ||
| Matthew Tierman, our intrepid correspondent. | ||
| I want to go back to Boris. | ||
| Put in perspective how blue check Maggie Haberman in the crowd, the blue check Twitter didn't handle this well today, did they? | ||
| Trump returned kind of in triumph. | ||
| I want to disagree with my landsman, Matthew Tierman. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And I would, I would proffer that the Germans don't always do everything right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| I think Germans have gotten a lot of things. | ||
| Really? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Really, really, really wrong. | |
| When they get things wrong, they really get it wrong, correct? | ||
| They go big. | ||
| Let's put it this way. | ||
| When they get them wrong, they get them wrong with a lot of detail, okay? | ||
| I agree. | ||
| Matthew's a great guy, and Godspeed to him. | ||
| Very important trip. | ||
| In terms of this today, Here's the bottom line. | ||
| Here's all you need to know about where the country is and, you know, all this talk of, oh, President Trump, you know, he may have a challenger. | ||
| Wrong. | ||
| You think anybody else who's ever mentioned any of those polls where President Trump always wins by 60, you think anybody else would get even an iota of the attention in a Washington, D.C. | ||
| speech that he got today? | ||
| Bluejack Twitter is putting out videos of President Trump's motorcade. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| Just the fact that he's in D.C. | ||
| is making huge news. | ||
| It's literally like Caesar or Cincinnatus. | ||
| You know, it's, you know, this is a huge moment. | ||
| I just thank Divine Providence for my travels last week because knowing how triggered they are, the DOJ would have tried to sentence me before the travel was over if this was last Tuesday. | ||
| They are so triggered. | ||
| This city is so triggered. | ||
| They lost their mind, right? | ||
| They've lost their minds. | ||
| This is all they could talk about. | ||
| They're obsessed. | ||
| I could throw out a historic comparison and stop doing the face, you know, Napoleon after, you know, after being in Alba. | ||
| The whole thing, this is just, this is amazing. | ||
| You've never seen anything like this, okay? | ||
| Never seen anything like this because America, has gone away from the Democrats and the left so hard. | ||
| And it's moved toward MAGA so strongly. | ||
| MAGA and President Trump are so ascendant. | ||
| And the blue check Twitter and the mainstream, they just can't deal with it. | ||
| They can't deal with it. | ||
| And they do stories and they find some old emails, including a bunch, you know, that have, oh my God, you know, this is such major news. | ||
| The alternate electors may have been appointed. | ||
| Oh yes, that's been public the whole time. | ||
| Stop trying to make news when there's no news. | ||
| Here's the news. | ||
| The gas is approaching $8, $9 in LA, as Matthew said, and all over the country. | ||
| Our inflation is sky high. | ||
| 75% of American people are saying inflation is a terrible problem and are giving Joe Biden teens an approval on it. | ||
| We're coming up on an annual first year anniversary of the disaster in Afghanistan. | ||
| And President Trump came in Washington today and told the Washington, D.C. | ||
| establishment, not the folks in the room necessarily, even though there were some there, but beyond, here I am, rock me like a hurricane. | ||
| And I loved every second of it. | ||
| And he also went after their weak spot, which is their record. | ||
| How have the actions you've taken... I left 18 months ago, the thing was not collapsing. | ||
| I come back and it's anarchy. | ||
| How are we doing now? | ||
| Okay, need you to stick around. | ||
| We come back. | ||
| Charles Cook actually did some shifting the other day. | ||
| Boris has done some analysis. | ||
| We're going to talk about that because Cook said, hey, these guys have talked about this huge red tsunami. | ||
| Well, he's actually saying, I think it's actually receding a bit. | ||
| Is Cook right or the War Room right? | ||
|

| Let me go back to Chris Carter, Real America's Voice, intrepid reporter. | ||
| Chris, there were a couple of disturbances today, and I noticed from President Trump, I think he's still here in the background, there's some people triggered, shouting various chants and obscenities. | ||
| Chris Carter, tell us about it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, yeah, right now, earlier in the afternoon, right before former President Trump spoke, we had a group of about five or ten protesters enter the Marquis Marriott in downtown D.C. | |
| They threw literature around. | ||
| They were cussing. | ||
| As you can see from the sides, the signs, they call themselves Proud Antifa Scum. | ||
| They're protesting the president. | ||
| He obviously triggers them a lot still. | ||
| They've got their megaphones out. | ||
| And this is pretty typical for what we see in Washington. | ||
| Not a very big protest, but a small amount of people can make a really big disruption, as you can see. | ||
| Yeah, they're coming a little hot. | ||
| One thing, Chris, as you've noticed, because you were outside the Supreme Court the entire time, the rulings of the Supreme Court, some of these other things, as much as the left, as much as MSNBC wants to talk about it, you don't really see the scale of these protests. | ||
| I'm not saying it's not going to happen, but you don't see the scale. | ||
| It's still the anger and still the intensity, but you don't see the scale that I think they were hoping for. | ||
| Is that correct in your mind? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, it seems like their movement has subsided a little bit. | |
| I covered all these rallies extensively throughout Washington and the MAGA rallies leading up until early part of January were very big. | ||
| Very strong Antifa presence. | ||
| Very big pro-Trump presence. | ||
| Right now it's pretty much fizzled. | ||
| These are the most radical of the radicals left over. | ||
| That's what we see outside there. | ||
| Great camera work by the Real America's Voice team. | ||
| Chris Carter, one more time. | ||
| How can people follow you on social media? | ||
| Because I know you're putting up stuff all the time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure, yes, obviously you want to check all the Real America's Voice social media platforms. | |
| Getter and then carterrocks.com for any of my click funnels. | ||
| Chris, thank you very much. | ||
| Chris Carter, Real America's Voice, Washington DC correspondent. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Thank you, sir. | ||
| Thank you, brother. | ||
| Boris, President Trump is, I call him a McLuhan-esque figure in that he knows communication, he knows mass psychology, and he knows how mass communications works. | ||
| This was very, he really thought this through before he came back today, and he knew he was going to trigger both the protesters like they're out there, but particularly the media and those on Capitol Hill, and we've already noticed the people on Capitol Hill are losing it. | ||
| Put your assessment of his strategy for today coming into this, and do you think it worked? | ||
| I think it undoubtedly worked. | ||
| I think the strategy was on point. | ||
| I think that President Trump came in there wanting to make it clear as day about how different we are now versus we were 18 months ago. | ||
| And that undoubtedly was delivered. | ||
| The point has been driven home that this country, and let's just be honest, it's not falling apart. | ||
| And it's tough for me to say because I love this country. | ||
| It's not falling apart, Steve. | ||
| It has fallen apart. | ||
| Under the terrible, feckless watch of illegitimate Joe Biden, his terrible team. | ||
| I mean, you had Jake Sullivan the other day talking about, oh, I just found out what a supply chain is. | ||
| Are you kidding me? | ||
| You're the National Security Advisor, okay? | ||
| The Democrats are doing all they can to destroy our country and President Trump came in to Washington D.C. | ||
| today. | ||
| By the way, came in and came out, okay? | ||
| That's the best thing to do with Washington D.C. | ||
| these days. | ||
| He went to Washington D.C. | ||
| and called it out like it is. | ||
| That we need him back. | ||
| We need the broadest shoulders possible. | ||
| Because we don't have serious problems in our country, folks. | ||
| We have grave problems in our country. | ||
| And we need the most serious person in American history to deal with them, and that's President Donald J. Trump. | ||
| So, I thought the speech hit every point, and the fact that it was as domestic-focused And the fact that that surprised so many of the establishment and the unit party, the intelligentsia, the haters was exactly what should have been done because it is vital. | ||
| It is vital for our country to get focused on keeping Americans secure, not just financially, but also importantly and overwhelmingly in terms of their personal safety. | ||
| And President Trump hit that point out of the park. | ||
| Uh, drudge right now has in the Mac daddy, a big red headline picture of Merrick Garland in front of the, uh, at the press, at the, at the podium at the justice department, big red headline, Garland open to prosecuting Trump. | ||
| And it's about an interview he gave with Lester Holt. | ||
| He says he's open to hold any, anybody criminally, criminally responsible. | ||
| That is responsible. | ||
| Your thoughts, sir. | ||
| My thoughts are that election time is coming. | ||
| Uh, and, and that's what the Democrats are trying to do. | ||
| They're trying to distract. | ||
| They're trying to, you know, put up false flags, and trying to tell the American people to look over there where they should. | ||
| The American people know where they need to be looking, and that's sky-high inflation. | ||
| Disaster at the border, runaway gas prices, absolute fecklessness all over the world. | ||
| But those kind of distractions, those kind of lookaways no longer work. | ||
| The American people see right through them, and that's why they're so focused on bringing MAGA in in 2022, and bringing President Trump, as if we hope and expect he runs for president back in 2024, to be inaugurated the latest gen, 2020-2025. | ||
| Okay, you commit to me, we're going to come back tomorrow and we'll figure out in the morning or the afternoon, probably in the afternoon, and go through the reports shifting of a few of these districts. | ||
| And I just have a question. | ||
| You think wrongfully shifting, and you've got the receipts to show that, is what you've told me, correct? | ||
| No doubt about it. | ||
| President Trump, in 2018, President Trump's approval rating was way above what Joe Biden's is, and Democrats were still able to get 41 seats, okay? | ||
| Joe Biden's approval rating is at historic lows, much lower than Obama in 2010, much lower than Bill Clinton in 94. | ||
| So to talk about, oh, this is gonna be, you know, a 20 to 30 seat, no. | ||
| This is gonna be an annihilation. | ||
| And no matter, the Cook Report could go and try to cook up, pun intended, any little schemes to depress enthusiasm, that's not gonna work. | ||
| That's not going to happen. | ||
| 100 seats, 100 years, we've got the receipts. | ||
