|
Thank you. | |
| This will not be my campaign. | ||
| This will be our campaign altogether. | ||

| Are you getting ready? | ||

Crowd cheers Crowd cheers And I am too I am too. | |
| Okay, welcome. | ||
| It's Wednesday, 16 November in the Year of the Lord 2022. | ||
| We're jammed today. | ||
| In the war room, of course, the massive announcement last night, President Trump's running again for the three-peat. | ||
| I want to bring in one of the senior advisors, Boris Epstein from Mar-a-Lago. | ||
| Boris, the New York Times, I think, had seven op-eds ready to go. | ||
| National Review had a whole cover of, you know, Just like the Never Trump cover they did back in 16, you know, unmistakable, won't do it, Wall Street Journal, New York Post roasting. | ||
| Give us your sense of the forces aligned against the president and tell me how this campaign is going to chop its way through this quite thick jungle. | ||
| Steve, honor to be with you, honor to be with Apache, great to see everybody yesterday. | ||
| Unbelievable presence from the war room at Mar-a-Lago yesterday with all your correspondents. | ||
| President Trump has now declared that he's going to once again fight against the establishment, drain the swamp. | ||
| and beat back all those who oppose american greatness because that's what it's all about you've seen the global you're seeing the establishment you're seeing the swamp creatures come out and attack president trump but president trump laid out a vision yesterday a vision for america greatness for the american future for strength on uh... on the border for strength on the economy for not letting china overrun us you know steve schwartz wants to go out there and attack hey that's up to him but we know | ||
| what it was just a window was good are aligned with president trump and one with american manufacturing he's a lot of american strength he's aligned with america with american future and and that's what that's what that was all about it was a historic night here in mar-a-lago and now aligned with President Trump, is aligned with American manufacturing, he's aligned with American strength, he's aligned with American future. | ||
| And that's what last night was all about. | ||
| It was a historic night here in Mar-a-Lago. | ||
| And now this historic campaign marches on to take our country back in 2024 to rebuild the border, to rebuild broad national dominance, full spectrum energy independence, to get the dollar back to where it should be so America is the dominant economic force in the world once again, and make sure that our adversaries and allies alike are respecting the United States of America. | ||
| President Trump was firing on all cylinders last night and will continue to do so every single day of this campaign as he fights for the American people, as he gives the voice to the American people who are way too often forgotten as the woke radical left, but also the establishment elites, line their pockets, strengthen themselves, and do so at the negative | ||
| impact, do so at the cost to Americans. | ||
| you gotta jump in meetings we'll get you back on in the afternoon show for a summary. Boris, real quickly what's the social media so people can follow you? Steve, before I go here's what I want to say. | ||
| To the posse, to the MAGA movement, to the world, I'm the leader of President Donald J. Trump. This is a new day in this country. | ||
| It's an exciting day. | ||
| I've seen it. | ||
| I've heard it from so many people on social media, those of you reaching out to me directly. | ||
| I want to thank every single one and want to say that we are going to be fighting for everybody, for every member of the posse. | ||
| This is your campaign, and this campaign is going to be all about Taking our country back. | ||
| My information, the website's hot. | ||
| Hot on the website boriscp.com, hot on getter at boriscp, on twitter at boriscp, hot on social boards, hottest on the gram, boris on the scrub site. | ||
| Stay strong, God bless, all offense from here at Mar-a-Lago, and I'll talk to you later. | ||
| Boris, thank you so much. | ||
| Boris Epstein is going to step in some meetings, obviously some big meetings down in Mar-a-Lago today as they rev up the campaign. | ||
| We'll have a lot more on that. | ||
| We've got Jason Miller later, Liz Harrington later, Natalie Winters, a lot of that. | ||
| We've got also Arizona, the vote on Capitol Hill, all of it. | ||
| I want to make sure people understand that's a – last night was a throwback to the 15-16 campaign because, quite frankly, the forces of the oligarchs, the big money interests, Schwarzman, Ken Griffin, all of that – it's not about Ron DeSantis or Governor Yankin. | ||
| It's not about those. | ||
| They're just vessels. | ||
| What the moneyed interest is looking for is a vessel. | ||
| To come after Trump. | ||
| A vessel to come after and stop and blunt the populist nationalist movement in this country. | ||
| It won't happen, but it's going to be... We have some work to do. | ||
| It's going to be quite interesting. | ||
| As the Chinese say, you know, your curse is to live in interesting times. | ||
| So, these are going to be interesting times. | ||
| I want to go... A huge announcement yesterday. | ||
| The reality of the world. | ||
| We took the 218th seat. | ||
| It was Kevin Kiley out of California. | ||
| Kevin, we've had Kevin on the show many times early on in his campaign. | ||
| Kevin, first off, tell us, how did you do it? | ||
| California is like looked at as a different country, a different universe among kind of the political elites. | ||
| And quite frankly, even the grassroots is huge. | ||
| There's more Trump voters in California than any state in the union, but it's like a separate entity. | ||
| How did you, first off, how did you win? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, thanks for having me, Steve. | |
| And, you know, California is, you know, in many ways, apart from the rest of the country, but in other ways, it's sort of, you know, a preview of what the rest of the country has in store if we continue going down this radical path that the Biden administration and Nancy Pelosi's Congress have us on. | ||
| And in fact, Gavin Newsom has explicitly said many times, California is a model for the nation. | ||
| or a roadmap to success for the rest of the country. | ||
| But you know, when you look at the sort of issues that are plaguing our country right now, and where there are record levels of public dissatisfaction, when it comes to immigration, when it comes to the economy, when it comes to crime, Californians are experiencing those failed policies, you know, many times over now with, you know, at the state level, at the national level, in some cases, at the city or county level. | ||
| And so I think there is a desire for change within the state, even among the more left-leaning parts of the state. | ||
| And I think that you're seeing that in the outcome of some of the races for Congress, that we were very competitive, if not won seats that, you know, did not go our way in the last election by double digits. | ||
| So I think that, you know, if we're looking to California as a preview for what's to come for the rest of the country, Californians themselves are starting to say enough is enough. | ||
| And so I think that's a really good sign. | ||
| Kevin, I want to walk through, and I want you to walk the audience through kind of the arc of your career, because you kind of went from a gadfly, right, of just, because Newsom and really the California model of the Democratic left is so overwhelming at every aspect since the Republican Party kind of retreated in California in the last 20 years. | ||
| You went from gadfly to a real voice of opposition and knew how to work in opposition. | ||
| To now, you've won, and I think people would say when you first start, a long-shot bid for Congress, and now you're going in as the guy that really delivered, through your campaign, the majority. | ||
| There's a couple other seats coming in, and you're going to go as a voice in this freshman class that people are going to have to pay attention to. | ||
| So walk us through, how did you go from gadfly to real leading the opposition in California against Newsom to today? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, you know, I refuse to accept the idea that when you're part of the minority that there's nothing that you can actually do. | |
| I mean, we have 19 seats in the Assembly right now in California out of 80. | ||
| So we're like a super minority, super duper minority. | ||
| Not to mention the fact that Gavin Newsom effectively abolished the legislature. | ||
| for much of the COVID shutdowns. | ||
| But, you know, I decided that I was elected to fight for my constituents, to fight to move our state in a new direction. | ||
| So I tried to use whatever tools, whatever levers were available to fight back. | ||
| And so for example, when Gavin Newsom shut down the state, effectively shut down the legislature, made himself into an autocrat, I went into a state superior court along with another member of the legislature, James Gallagher, and we sued him for abusing his emergency powers and won a trial in state superior court. | ||
| And what I saw is that when we did that, that actually set an example where people at other levels of government could fight back as well. | ||
| And so I think that now coming into Congress, being part of the House of Representatives is a time when this is the one part of the government we control. | ||
| That's a very useful experience because I know how to fight back and to bring accountability to those who are in power, to those who are abusing their powers. | ||
| And the House of Representatives is really gonna be where the action is in this next Congress, where we engage in the sort of oversight and accountability that is needed for this administration more than perhaps any other in our country's history. | ||
| Um, we- Where is your focus going to be? | ||
| Where is Kevin Kiley going to sit there and say, hey, I think this is where I've got to spend my time? | ||
| What would be your focus? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, that's a hard question just because so many things have are so messed up right now when it comes to national policy. | |
| I mean, I think everyone's going to be focused very clearly on getting the economy back on track, dealing with the border situation, getting crime under control and supporting law enforcement. | ||
| And, you know, just exercising accountability, bringing in members of the administration, asking them questions, exercising subpoena power that we will have As part of the majority. | ||
| And you know, frankly, a lot of what Gavin Newsom has done in terms of sort of ruling by decree, Biden is doing the same thing. | ||
| His student loan program just got struck down or held up by the courts. | ||
| And so trying to, you know, assure that we have a truly representative government, as opposed to one in which one person is simply making policy and enforcing it upon hundreds of millions of people, I think is going to be a focus as well. | ||
| You're coming in as someone that's gone up against Newsom for years. | ||
| Because of the economic and financial crisis, the Democrats are going to quickly tire of Biden and look for alternatives. | ||
| What is your warning to people on Capitol Hill about the California model and Gavin Newsom, sir? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, that's exactly the word, Steve, is a warning. | |
| I mean, Gavin Newsom says California is a model for the nation. | ||
| California is not a model for the nation. | ||
| It is a warning to the nation. | ||
| And if you look at, you know, what's happening in our state, people are leaving California in record numbers. | ||
| For 150 years, in fact, of our state's history, the population grew. | ||
| That growth slowed over the last, you know, recent decades and years. | ||
| And then over the last couple years, we reached a tipping point Well, now there are more people leaving that are coming, and the number of people that are moving to California is down, coming from all 49 other states. | ||
| And, you know, it's not like we no longer have good weather or have, you know, an amazing breadth of opportunity in our state. | ||
| It's just that the government has ruined so much for so many people. | ||
| And, you know, you look at the outcomes. | ||
| We have the highest level of poverty of any state in the country. | ||
| We have the highest taxes. | ||
| We have the worst regulations. | ||
| We have among the worst public schools, worst infrastructure, highest levels of inequality. | ||
| And that doesn't even begin to talk about what happened over the last two years. | ||
| And we had by far the worst lockdowns, worst school shutdowns, worst mandates, most onerous limits on personal freedom, and all the rest. | ||
| And so it's very clear what these policies have done to our state. | ||
| And if we don't have a major course correction right now, the same thing's gonna happen to our country. | ||
| The good news is though, voters have just using the sort of most immediate lever at their disposal, electing a new majority in the house. | ||
| Kevin, how can people find out more about you? | ||
| of our government that is most closest to the people, most responsive to public opinion. | ||
| We didn't elect a new president in 2022. We didn't elect a fully new Senate. We did elect a new House and voters have voted for changes. I think it's incumbent on us in the majority to get to work immediately to bring that change. Kevin, how can people find out more about you? What site do they go to and how do they follow you on social media? Yeah, I've got kevincyle.com is my website. | ||
| K-I-L-E-Y, Kevin Kiley, and then just at Kevin Kiley, C-A, as in California, on Twitter. | ||
| Kevin, thank you for joining us, and particularly thank you for fighting through winning this incredibly important seat and giving us the majority. | ||
| Thank you very much, sir. | ||
|
unidentified
|
My pleasure. | |
| Thanks, Steve. | ||
| Kevin Kiley, a real grinder there. | ||
| Okay, there's a lot going on. | ||
| You should know National Review came out front page cover story for Never Trump. | ||
| Oh, excuse me. | ||
| Excuse me. | ||
| That's the cover they gave us in 2016. | ||
| National Review is coming out saying under no circumstances can Trump be the nominee. | ||
| Seven editorials in the In the New York Times. | ||
| And of course, the Democrats have just put forward, or they're going to put forward this afternoon, they've tipped their hand, legislation in the House and then to the Senate to bar President Trump from actually running. | ||
| They're going to actually try to pass a law to bar President Trump from running. | ||
| Not that they fear him at all, and not that they fear MAGA, not that they fear the Trump movement putting forth legislation to stop that. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| We got a lot to go through, and we got a lot of people that are going to walk us through it. | ||
| The show's packed today, from Arizona to Capitol Hill, to the Trump campaign, to all of it. | ||
| Stick around, take a short commercial break. | ||
| We're going to come back, we're going to play something that you need to see and to hear, and then John Frederick's going to be in to interpret it for us. | ||
| Liz Harrington, Natalie Winters, Jason Miller, Alex DeGrasse, all of it next in The War Room. | ||
|

|
We're taking down the CCP. | |
| For the world and for Hong Kong, we will fight till they're all gone. | ||
| We rejoice... | ||
| People in Michigan that are planning to vote for Trump. | ||
| And, um, they're not... They don't necessarily like him that much. | ||
| And they don't necessarily agree with him. | ||
| They're not racists and rednecks or... They're actually pretty decent people. | ||
| And so I wanted to, sort of, after talking to a number of them, I wanted to, sort of, I wanted to write this and... | ||
| Donald Trump came to the Detroit Economic Club and stood there in front of the Ford Motor Executives and said, if you close these factories as you're planning to do in Detroit and build them in Mexico, I'm going to put a 35% tariff on those cars when you send them back and nobody's going to buy them. | ||
| It was an amazing thing to see. | ||
| No politician, Republican or Democrat, Had ever said anything like that to these executives. | ||
| And it was music to the ears of people in Michigan, in Ohio, in Pennsylvania, in Wisconsin, the Brexit states. | ||
| You live here in Ohio, you know what I'm talking about. | ||
| Whether Trump means it or not is kind of irrelevant because he's saying the things to people who are hurting. | ||
| And it's why every beaten down, nameless, forgotten, working stiff, who used to be part of what was called the middle class, loves Trump. | ||
| He is the human Molotov cocktail that they've been waiting for. | ||
| The human hand grenade that they can legally throw into the system that stole their lives from them. | ||
| And on November 8th, Election Day, Although they've lost their jobs. | ||
| Although they've been foreclosed on by the bank. | ||
| Next came the divorce and now the wife and kids are gone. | ||
| The car's been repoed. | ||
| They haven't had a real vacation in years. | ||
| They're stuck with the Obamacare bronze plan where you can't even get a truck to settle. | ||
| They've essentially lost everything they had. | ||
| Except one thing. | ||
| The one thing that doesn't cost them a cent and is guaranteed to them by the American Constitution, the right to vote. | ||
| They might be penniless, they might be homeless, they might be f***ed over and f***ed up. | ||
| It doesn't matter. | ||
| Because it's equalized on that day. | ||
| A millionaire has the same number of votes as the person without a job. | ||
| One. | ||
| And there's more of the former middle class than there are in the millionaire class. | ||
| So on November 8th, the dispossessed will walk into the voting booth, be handed a ballot, close the curtain, and take that lever, or felt pen or touchscreen, and put a big f***ing X in the box by the name of the man who has threatened to upend and overturn the very system that has ruined their lives. | ||
| Donald J. Trump. | ||
| They see that the elites who ruined their lives hate Trump. | ||
| Corporate America hates Trump. | ||
| Wall Street hates Trump. | ||
| The career politicians hate Trump. | ||
| The media hates Trump. | ||
| After they loved him and created him. | ||
| And now hate him. | ||
| Thank you media. | ||
| The enemy of my enemy is who I'm voting for on November 8th. | ||
| Yes, on November 8th, you, Joe Blow, Steve Blow, Bob Blow, Billy Blow, Billy Bob Blow, all the blows, get to go and blow up the whole goddamn system because it's your right. | ||
| Trump's election is going to be the biggest f*** you ever recorded in human history. | ||
| And it will feel good okay um that is you can tell from what six years ago up What has really changed? | ||
| Except for that slight golden age in 18 and 19 when things actually started coming together in the economy. | ||
| We're going to talk a lot about this. | ||
| Because there's many, many things to go through. | ||
| And remember, as we've said, the world's not perfect. | ||
| Donald Trump's not perfect. | ||
| He's a very imperfect instrument. | ||
| And he's the first one to recognize that and would tell you that. | ||
| So we've got a lot of things to go to. | ||
| One thing you're going to have to ask yourself over the next days, months, and weeks ahead, besides what he attempted to do and what he did accomplish, what has changed? | ||
| I will tell you, in 2023, the way that the economy and capital markets are going, it's going to get much worse. | ||
| It's going to get much worse for those exact people. | ||
| For the working class and the middle class in this nation. | ||
| And you're going to have a choice. | ||
| You're going to have a choice. | ||
| To play the games and play the game they want you to play, the National Review and Steve Schwarzman. | ||
| Just look who came out against him yesterday. | ||
| This is not about Governor Glenn Youngkin. | ||
| This is not about Governor Ron DeSantis. | ||
| Governor Ron DeSantis is far and away the best governor in this nation. | ||
| There's no doubt about that. | ||
| And what he's done and what he's accomplished. | ||
| It is not about him. | ||
| It's not about Young. | ||
| It's not about any of this other stuff. | ||
| The money. | ||
| Steve Schwartzman came out right away. | ||
| You had Ken Griffin. | ||
| You have to understand what's going on here. | ||
| The moneyed interest, the central power of this nation, the elite money interest oligarchs and their media buddies like Murdoch and the tech oligarchs and the global corporatist, okay? | ||
| They have determined That the American people, that would be you, are just not going to have a say-so in major decisions going forward. | ||
| Let me just be blunt. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| That's what this comes down to. | ||
| You can put it in the essence. | ||
| That's the thing itself. | ||
| The voice right there is Michael Moore. | ||
| That was Michael Moore talking back in 15 and 16 when Michael Moore warned the Democrats that Hillary Clinton – when the polls were hugely against this, he kept telling them Trump's going to win. | ||
| He said Trump's going to win this. | ||
| And why? | ||
| And so we're going to have a gut check over the next days, weeks and months ahead. | ||
| And this audience is going to decide. | ||
| Where this country goes, and I understand that you're very – I wouldn't say divided right now, but questioning, and questioning down to core beliefs. | ||
| That's fine. | ||
| That's good. | ||
| Questioning is good. | ||
| You ought to question everything. | ||
| We're not some oracles that sit here and say, hey, this is it. | ||
| This is not what this show is about whatsoever. | ||
| It's about you. | ||
| This is you, and you're going to decide it at the end. | ||
| You're going to decide it at the end. | ||
| I'll tell you how much you decided. | ||
| Politico has a story up this morning that the debt ceiling deal may not happen. | ||
| You know why? | ||
| Because of this audience. | ||
| Because we made the debt ceiling a big deal. | ||
| I can't tell you the enormity of that. | ||
| That in the lame duck they may not be able to play games with the debt ceiling. | ||
| That's huge. | ||
| That's our point of leverage. | ||
| If you look at military strategy or Hostile takeovers or political strategy. | ||
| It's leverage. | ||
| You need leverage. | ||
| And that debt ceiling is leverage. | ||
| And I think it may wave off. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because of you. | ||
| We've already had a massive victory. | ||
| So don't think people aren't paying attention and people are not seeing and taking your temperature. | ||
| I want to bring in John Fredericks. | ||
| John, you were eviscerated in the crash of 2008. | ||
| It changed you. | ||
| It burned something into your soul. | ||
| That commercial, that spot where Michael Moore talking, that footage was put on top of it, laid on top of it, that was talking to the John Fredericks of the world. | ||
| Give us your assessment. | ||
| Okay, it would be nice if I had John Frederick's audio. | ||
| John, you on mute? | ||
| Or do we have him on mute? | ||
| Okay, let's go back and do that again. | ||
| You see, you tee up these big dramatic moments and you come in for the payoff. | ||
| I should know better, shouldn't I? | ||
| I'll just keep talking. | ||
| As soon as we get John's audio ready, let me know. | ||
| Really ready. | ||
| Not just, just don't tell me it's ready. | ||
| Get him off mute. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Hey, John, I had you teed up for a huge dramatic moment. | ||
| Okay, John, do you hear me? | ||
|
unidentified
|
You got him? | |
| Okay. | ||
| Listen, thank you. | ||
| You should play that video. | ||
| Go ahead. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Can you hear me, Steve? | |
| Steve, can you hear me? | ||
| Yeah, I got you, sir. | ||
| You should play that video at least once a week. | ||
| Because that's why, that's why, Steve, we're here, right? | ||
| That video is why we're here. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| My wife and I work like a dog our entire life. | ||
| And when we went in the 2008 crash, when we lost our home, we lost our savings, we lost everything in the bank, we lost our college funds, my daughter couldn't go to college, my son had to work two jobs, we were homeless for two years, nobody gave a crap if we lived or died. | ||
| No one cared. | ||
| No one. | ||
| They got the bailout. | ||
| They got the money, right? | ||
| AI got all that bailout money. | ||
| What did they do? | ||
| They went to Carmel on a vacation, on a sales job. | ||
| We were homeless. | ||
| This is what people have to remember. | ||
| We can sit back now, we can gripe and browse about we don't like a tweet, or we don't like a true social, or we don't like something he said, or we're tired of the insult. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But let's go back to Trump to remind people of where we were. | |
| Yeah, you've got Ken Griffin out there, raising what, hundreds of millions of dollars for Ron DeSantis, for whomever, whose name is not Trump, so they can control Wall Street and continue to screw the middle class as they've done for 60 years, because the whole thing is rigged. | ||
| But when you lose everything you've worked for, and you are staring at a family in a pay-by-the-day motel, and your daughter has to drop out of college, and your son's in Mississippi working two jobs, and you failed as a husband and failed as a man and a father. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| That's why that's so meaningful. | ||
| It reminds people of what they've done. | ||
| And it's why I've been with Trump from the beginning, while I would fight to the death The day I'm gone. | ||
| Because the only guy that told the truth, that one clip about when he went to Detroit and he told those people who were going to take their jobs away, hey, you go to Mexico, I'm going to slap you with a 35% tariff, your business is gone, you'll never sell a car. | ||
| That's what we need. | ||
| People are forgetting that. | ||
| Oh, they didn't like the speech because it was an hour and seven minutes instead of 52 minutes. | ||
| Hang on, we're going to take a short break. | ||
| Sometimes Trump forgets that. | ||
| That's the key. | ||
| We can't forget that. | ||
| That's the thing itself. | ||
| John Fredericks on the other side. | ||
|
unidentified
|
side. | |
| Okay, John Fredricks joins us. | ||
| John, so walk us back through that. | ||
| That's the thing itself, and I understand sometimes even President Trump, I think, particularly as he gets certain people around him, may forget that. | ||
| But that's the essence of what this is. | ||
| You talk about all the policies, you talk all about this, it's going to come down to the moneyed interest. | ||
| Steve Schwartzman comes out today and says, I'm like, Ken Griffin and Steve Schwartzman and Fink and all that crowd. | ||
| All that crowd are going to be looking for Paul Singer and all the other big money guys, right? | ||
| They're going to be looking for Ray Dalio. | ||
| Just go through all of them. | ||
| They're going to be looking for an alternative to Trump because they don't want to effectuate the policies we need to make sure that the working class and middle class are not eviscerated in this country. | ||
| Since 1972, just to make sure people understand this, since 1972, Blue-collar workers in this nation, adjusted for inflation, have had a $0.12 wage increase. | ||
| You've now had 19 months in a row of real wages dropping, but I want to make sure people understand, since 1972, blue-collar workers in this nation, adjusted for inflation, have had a $0.12 wage increase. | ||
| And probably the best run you ever had was in the summer, fall, and Christmas of 2019 under Donald Trump, right? | ||
| Right now, 0.5% of our nation, 0.5%, and that would include Ken Griffin and Steve Schwarzman and all these guys that are the anti-Trump wing, the anti-Trump money wing, the 0.5% own more assets than the bottom 90% of the nation. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| The bottom 90% of the nation. | ||
| This is exactly what we fought a revolution against. | ||
| An aristocracy, not just a landed aristocracy in England, but also a rising oligarchy of merchants, the British East India Company. | ||
| The revolutionary generation knew what was going to happen to America unless we broke off from an empire on the rise, an empire just hitting their inflection point of really becoming most powerful. | ||
| That's the shocking thing about the revolution, because they understood what was going to happen. | ||
| And here we are today. | ||
| And if you don't think times, if you don't think financial and economic times are going to get a lot tougher, then you're certainly not watching The War Room. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| Because it's going to get a lot tougher. | ||
| It's going to get a lot, you know it's going to get a lot tougher for, not going to get a lot tougher for Ken Griffin. | ||
| It's not going to get a lot tougher for Steve Schwarzman. | ||
| It's going to get a lot tougher for you. | ||

Well, because, Steve, they've been squeezing money out of the middle class because that's where the money is their entire lives. | |
| They want to keep labor from these open borders so they can get a bigger bonus. | ||
| They don't want Trump in there holding them to any level of accountability. | ||
| They play footsie with the people in Congress that may get there. | ||
| They never traded a stock or made a dime in their life. | ||
| They get there. | ||
| In a two-year period, they're multi-millionaires. | ||
| All of a sudden, they became the greatest stock traders in the history of the world, better than Clinton trading cattle futures, right? | ||
| But they're all in bed with each other. | ||
| What Trump said yesterday is, you elect me president, I'm going to get rid of that. | ||
| You can't lobby if you're a congressperson. | ||
| You cannot trade stocks if you're in Congress, or don't run for Congress. | ||
| But this is what Wall Street is doing. | ||
| So what do they do? | ||
| They've got to find somebody else, Look, I love Ron DeSantis. | ||
| I think he's a great governor. | ||
| But if it hadn't been DeSantis, it'd be Youngkin. | ||
| If it's not Youngkin, it's Nikki Haley. | ||
| If it's not her, it's someone else. | ||
| It doesn't matter. | ||
| Their name's not Trump. | ||
| Wall Street is going to line up behind him because they want to squeeze and eviscerate what's left of the middle class in this country because that's where the money is. | ||
| That's why Biden's taxed on the middle class. | ||
| They never suffer. | ||
| They get the bailout, they get the money, they get whatever they want. | ||
| And now they take it and they try to stop our movement. | ||
| That's exactly what's happening here. | ||
| And we're not going to stand... And look, there's a lot of browsing about different things that Trump has done or his speech was too long or he should have done this or he should have done that. | ||
| But to see that film and understand the impetus, the embryo, Why Trump-Fran? | ||
| Why Canada? | ||
| What he stands for? | ||
| What he believes in? | ||
| This is what we have to get back to. | ||
| We have to stop talking about 2020. | ||
| People are tired of that. | ||
| They show that in the election. | ||
| We got to move forward. | ||
| And I think the president, in very measured terms, laid it out. | ||
| Ted said what he did, he did it best of, and then he laid out in 15 things what he was going to do in the future. | ||
| But people have to remember, after Donald J. Trump, we're going to get back to the sham, the unipart, the game that's played, the stock trade, everything else that takes your money to fool you into giving it to them, and then they take it away, just like they did in 2008, and they left. | ||
| We were on the street, like my family, Homeless with nothing? | ||
| I didn't get a bailout. | ||
| I didn't get a thousand dollars a week in unemployment from the government. | ||
| You know what I got? | ||
| I cut grass at 50 years old to buy a chicken to put food on the family. | ||
| Who helped us? | ||
| No one. | ||
| Trump came along and said, hey, I feel you. | ||
| I understand what happened to you and your family. | ||
| You're good people. | ||
| You're good people. | ||
| You work hard. | ||
| I'm going to give you A voice you have never had. | ||
| That's what he stands for. | ||
| That's why I'm all in. | ||
| I don't care about any of these other candidates. | ||
| They're all fine people. | ||
| I voted for Glenn Youngkin in Virginia. | ||
| Rah, rah. | ||
| He's a good stuff. | ||
| I couldn't care less about them. | ||
| They're going to get there and they're going to do the bidding of the Ken Griffins. | ||
| That's why they're raising all this money. | ||
| They want to take facts. | ||
| Got something. | ||
| Now they want to take facts. | ||
| Right? | ||
| And where do they get it? | ||
| They get it from us. | ||
| Again, that's why they have open borders, that's why our jobs are going away again. | ||
| The same thing is happening. | ||
| And they see Trump, they're like, let's vilify him. | ||
| Got Fox News, everybody lining up against Trump, just like before. | ||
| Same players, Kevin McCarthy, the unit party. | ||
| It's the same thing as 2016, only it's 2022. | ||
| Trump announced, game on. | ||
| And I'm all in. | ||
| John, I want to get to the good thing. | ||
| I want to get to the good thing, but I've got to get some other folks in. | ||
| We'll get you back at five o'clock, or obviously tomorrow morning. | ||
| How do people get to the show? | ||
| And I understand, I listened to the show this morning and I heard the comments, and I understand a lot of people out there are very uncertain. | ||
| A lot of people say not enough energy, or you know, same old, same old. | ||
| I got all that. | ||
| But just let's boil it down to the essence, okay, of exactly what's going on. | ||
| Don't fool yourself. | ||
| Make sure you look at it with open eyes and see exactly what's going on. | ||
| John Fredericks, how do people get to you on social media and on your radio show? | ||

| And by the way, R.A.V. | ||
| has been with us every, every step of the way. | ||
| And I saw, you know, last night, all these media people there from around the world, you saw all the, you know, I tell you what, I saw, I saw the NBC, ABC, you know, with that, that, that, that, that lib look they have, that scowl, You know, Carl and them. | ||
| I mean, they all make me sick. | ||
| These people are sick. | ||
| You know, the fact that I can sit there with them in the media pit for five hours, I can't stand any of them. | ||
| You know, it's gotten to the point now where, you know, you can sit there and smirk, right, with your nice job at NBC, where you're not that, right? | ||
| We're sicky dudes, though. | ||
| People don't understand. | ||
| Trump said it last night. | ||
| This isn't about me. | ||
| This isn't about Mike Pence. | ||
| This is about a movement. | ||
| This is the greatest movement in political history. | ||
| This is a middle-class movement, and all we want is shots. | ||
| That's all. | ||
| Just give us a shot and give us a fair playing field, and then we'll take it from there. | ||
| But the gangster bankers on Wall Street They're planning right now. | ||
| They're going to take your money again. | ||
| They're going to do it to you again. | ||
| The big crash is coming again. | ||
| They're doing the same thing. | ||
| They're going to get bailed out again. | ||
| It's going to be the same thing. | ||
| And they know Trump is not going to stand for it. | ||
| That's why they hate him. | ||
| They hate him because they hate this audience. | ||
| You've got to understand something. | ||
| When they call you deplorables, they didn't mean it as we did. | ||
| They hate you guys. | ||
| They hate you. | ||
| They want to take, they want you, you're there, here's what you're there for. | ||
| You're there to work your ass off, pay taxes, exorbitant taxes, which will put another 87,000 IRS agents to squeeze every bit of juice out of you, and to have your sons and daughters, because you're patriots, have your sons and daughters sign up to volunteer to go fight on foreign battlefields, right? | ||
| From the Ukraine to Iraq and Afghanistan and everywhere in between. | ||
| That's what you're good for. | ||
| They could care less. | ||
| And the squeeze that's coming, you're going to see how much they care less. | ||
| Do you think they were trying to raise the debt ceiling to help you out? | ||
| Was that the point? | ||
| No, it's to bail themselves out. | ||
| So we're going to get into all of that, and you're going to have a choice. | ||
| That's what this is about, you're going to have a choice. | ||
| You either can throw in hard, because this is not going to be easy. | ||
| This is, 15 and 16 were, because I was there from the very beginning, back in 14, okay? | ||
| At Breitbart. | ||
| And I took a lot of grief, and I take a lot of grief today from a lot of people associated with that, okay? | ||
| Because I could see what was going to happen, in both Brexit and with Trump. | ||
| And there you can see it, and I will tell you right now, this is going to be 10x harder. | ||
| 10x, 10 times harder. | ||
| Anybody think this is going to be a cakewalk, you are sadly mistaken. | ||
| If anybody in Mar-a-Lago thinks it's going to be a cakewalk, they ain't seen it, because right now, look at it. | ||
| They put out legislation this morning to stop him. | ||
| They want to pass a law to stop him. | ||
| They had seven editorials. | ||
| Jason Miller will get into this next now. | ||
| They had seven editorials ready to go in the New York Times, Washington Post. | ||
| The National Review had the cover ready to go and the editorial ready to go. | ||
| The Wall Street Journal had their big thing ready to go. | ||
| The New York Post, which used to be the most pro-Trump thing of all until Murdoch flipped, eviscerated Trump on the cover. | ||
| So anybody thinks this is going to be easy, just bail out now. | ||
| That's fine. | ||
| There's other things out there. | ||
| But if you want to save your country, OK, don't think they're just going to sit there and say, what a lovely idea that the deplorables have determined that they want to run the country. | ||
| What a brilliant idea. | ||
| Why didn't we think of that? | ||
| Why didn't we put the deplorables in charge? | ||
| Let's put them in charge. | ||
| No. | ||
| It's going to be tough. | ||
| And I'm not saying, I'm not saying, hey, I'm a fricking Irishman. | ||
| I love a fight. | ||
| So just game on for me. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| Couldn't, couldn't be better. | ||
| John Fredericks, thank you very much. | ||
| Appreciate you coming on. | ||
| I know you got all the inside base on McCarthy stuff and we'll, we'll get you, we'll get back to you on that. | ||
| So thank you very much, sir. | ||
| Thank you, Steve. | ||
| Thanks brother. | ||

| You've been there for the tough fights. | ||
| Tell us, give us your perspective, ma'am. | ||

|
Thanks, Steve. | |
| President Trump knows exactly right what this mission is and how tough it's going to be. | ||
| And he's got the scars to prove it. | ||
| It's already been a tough fight. | ||
| That's why he's uniquely qualified to lead this fight. | ||
| And it's all about saving our country. | ||
| And he said it last night. | ||
| It's not about him. | ||
| It's about this movement. | ||
| It's going to take this movement to save this country. | ||
| Everyone knows how bad things are right now. | ||
| They probably will get worse, but they also know it doesn't have to be this way. | ||
| And you talk about the working man and woman, what do they want? | ||
| They just want to get ahead and be left alone. | ||
| But the problem is, they're not going to leave you alone. | ||
| They're going to take your job. | ||
| They've probably already done that. | ||
| They're going to shut you down. | ||
| They're going to put a mask on your kid. | ||
| They're going to open your border. | ||
| They're going to weaken your wages. | ||
| They're going to send your kids off to endless wars to enrich themselves. | ||
| But guess what? | ||
| We know what's going on. | ||
| We're getting involved, and we're gonna win this together. | ||
| I mean, that's what the message was last night. | ||
| It was so powerful when he said, you know, America, the comeback starts right now, and it's going to take all of us, all patriots who love this country, and President Trump is the man to lead that fight. | ||
| Liz, can you hang on one second? | ||

DonaldJTrump.com, True Social. | |
| President Trump's there. | ||
| I'm there as well. | ||
| Real Liz USA. | ||
| And one more thing, Steve. | ||
| They all are coming against him. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because they don't own him. | ||
| Nobody owns him. | ||
| And he doesn't need them. | ||
| All President Trump needs is the people, and the people need him as well. | ||
| So that's why we're going to win this fight. | ||
| That sums it up pretty, that's it. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| Remember, Ron DeSantis as governor, President Trump was massive with the endorsements and helping him, but essentially after that, except for Trump, that's why DeSantis has been such a great governor. | ||
| Nobody owns him. | ||
| That's why you see the specter of Ken Griffin and Steve Schwarzman. | ||
| They're putting their money, when they put their money in back you at that level, They're gonna own you. | ||
| So Trump's not owned. | ||
| He was not owned at 16. | ||
| He had literally almost no backing from the massive donors. | ||
| And what it had was all marginalia. | ||
| So Liz, you nailed it. | ||
| Liz, thank you very much. | ||
| We look forward to having you on frequently here now that it is game on, ma'am. | ||
| Thanks. | ||

| Democrats moved this morning, right immediately after he announced, they moved, they're moving legislation to basically outlaw Donald Trump. | ||
| These are the democracy lovers. | ||
| To outlaw Donald Trump for actually running for office. | ||
| Am I correct in this, sir? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, so we've got David, um, I don't know how to pronounce this guy's last name, but you've seen him on TV. | |
| He's the Rhode Island congressman, uh, Simpson lean or whatever. | ||
| He's a total, um, he's a madman. | ||
| He's a crazy guy. | ||
| Uh, you know, viciously anti-Trump and this Steve, they've got legislation drafted and leaked out and we've got our hands on it. | ||
| They're gathering co-sponsors by tomorrow. | ||
| Uh, and it's clear, Steve, they want to prevent him and ban him from holding federal office. | ||
| Uh, they understand the They are very afraid of Trump. | ||
| They can't beat him at the ballot box, so they will attempt to use the power of the federal government to shamelessly prevent him from being elected. | ||
| I don't think it will pass, but this is where they're going, Steve. | ||
| It's going to get really hot fast. | ||
| I don't know if you've got the technical aspect worked out for, but I thought ABC News said that this can pass with a majority in the Senate, too. | ||
| You can't filibuster this? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, our lawyers have been looking at this, Steve, and people are kind of scrambling to get a hold on it right now. | |
| We don't have the exact text. | ||
| We just have the, well, I sent you what they have. | ||
| That was sort of the email sent out to members of Congress asking them to get onto the bill. | ||
| As they were to put it in some type of reconciliation or something like that, people think they could be able to jam it through with a simple majority. | ||
| So we might have an update later as we're looking into exactly how this is going to come out. | ||
| I think we'll see it probably drop on the floor within the week. | ||
| Usually, if you're getting your co-sponsors, it's going to come out shortly after that. | ||
| So it's really heating up, Steve, and I think it shows their hand. | ||
| I mean, these guys are I think that it's real, Steve. | ||
| I think we've got to treat it as real. | ||
| I don't think they might have the votes. | ||
| I think we've got to pressure the Democrats and start doing an offense on exposing this. | ||
| for office, which is crazy. | ||
| Okay, is this performative? | ||
| Or do you think this is actually real? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think that it's real, Steve. | |
| I think we've got to treat it as real. | ||
| I don't think they might have the votes. | ||
| I think we've got to pressure the Democrats and start doing an offense on exposing this. | ||
| We've sent it around to everyone on our side. | ||
| But look, I think, I mean, you saw the reaction. | ||
| I think Breitbart had a big story. | ||
| I mean, it's, they want Trump indicted. | ||
| I mean, that's what they're, they're going crazy. | ||
| Uh, they're demanding Garland pull the trigger on that. | ||
| Uh, they, they're not debating us on the facts on the issues they can. | ||
| So they're latching out and attempting to use law enforcement of the politic politicized FBI or. | ||
| Congress and during their lame duck period. | ||
| So I think we'll hold the line. | ||
| I don't think this will ultimately get passed because they've got a limited window in the lame duck period. | ||
| But I mean, obviously Republican Congress isn't even going to consider this. | ||
| But let's talk about that. | ||
| Up on Capitol Hill yesterday, Club for Growth coming in, stir up a lot of controversy. | ||
| I mean, inside the caucus, I mean, Lee Stefanik, full-throated, I'm for Trump 24, but let's be blunt. | ||
| There was, as they say in the Royal Navy, there were murmurings, right? | ||
| They're trying to instill a mutiny on Trump on Capitol Hill. | ||
| Am I incorrect in that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, there's definitely outside sources, Steve. | |
| Club for Growth. | ||
| Definitely taking the charge. | ||
| They commissioned some type of fake poll within Elisa's district. | ||
| And look, if you want to mess with us, that's great. | ||
| You want to come into our district, start showing unrest. | ||
| That's totally over the line. | ||
| And everyone would say that. | ||
| So they're playing balls to the wall, Steve. | ||
| I think it's going to get really interesting. | ||
| But absolutely. | ||
| I mean, these same forces that you talked about, you know, the Ken Griffin, you know, that type of stuff, you know, their allies on Capitol Hill are moving hard and fast to attempt to silence the support of President Trump. | ||
| You saw a lot of endorsements roll out, another five or six. | ||
| So that list is building within the House. | ||
| But look, this fight's going to come down to the people. | ||
| I mean, it's going to come down to voters and obviously these early key states. | ||
| It comes down to the posse organizing now, making sure we get this done. | ||
| Alex, can you just hang on? | ||
| We have a 90-second break. | ||
| I just want to bring you back. | ||
| We had Kevin Kiley on, number 218. | ||
| I want to get your sense of all that. | ||
| We have Natalie Winters, we've got the great Jason Miller. |
