| This is what you're fighting for. | ||
| I mean, every day you're out there. | ||
| What they're doing is blowing people off. | ||
| If you continue to look the other way and shut up, then the oppressors, the authoritarians, get total control and total power. | ||
| Because this is just like in Arizona. | ||
| This is just like in Georgia. It's another element that backs them into a quarter and shows their lies and misrepresentations. | ||
| This is why this audience is gonna have to get engaged. | ||
| As we've told you, this is the fight. | ||
|

|
All this nonsense, all this spin, they can't handle the truth. | |
| War Room. Battleground. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| This may be or may not be your reaction now that you've had a chance to go through it. | ||
| Is it what you thought it was going to be and are you unimpressed? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It is what I thought it was going to be in terms of focusing on the payments that were made, the falsification of the records, And really tied to the payment that was made to Stormy Daniels, in terms of a case that's being brought against a former president, it's a little underwhelming. | |
| There's not more to it. | ||
| There's not more violations, tax violations. | ||
| There's not an incredible new set of facts that we didn't know about publicly. | ||
| It's really the facts of this case as they have existed for basically almost seven years. | ||
| Okay, I hate to rub people's noses in this, but we told you this was going to happen. | ||
| This is a total and complete joke. | ||
| A sick, disgusting, revolting joke. | ||
| The important things are what Scott Pressler had been working on out in Wisconsin. | ||
| And if you want to stop this madness, we got a win at the ballot box. | ||
| Scott Pressler, can you please give us an update? | ||
| You've been out there for over a month. | ||
| Give us an update as we get into the early evening hours in Wisconsin, sir. | ||
| Give us a situation report. | ||
| Well, I've been knocking on doors today. | ||
| It is raining. We are having inclement weather. | ||
| So if you're in Wisconsin listening right now and you have not yet voted, Vote as soon as you can because the weather is supposed to get worse. | ||
| Don't even wait that you won't be able to get in line by 8 p.m. | ||
| The polls close in Wisconsin, 8 p.m. | ||
| Central Time Zone. Once you're in line, stay in line. | ||
| It's your right to vote. You can find your polling location by going to myvote.wi.gov. | ||
| I'm hearing on the ground that we're doing well in Ozaukee County. | ||
| Now, Ozaki is one of the quote-unquote wow counties. | ||
| You have Waukesha, Ozaki, and Washington. | ||
| Those are the three wow counties that we need strong turnout in order to win this election. | ||
| So Ozaki said they're doing well. | ||
| And again, if you're in Waukesha, we need you to turn out hardcore in this election. | ||
| And also, I would be remiss not to talk about Northwest Wisconsin. | ||
| Again, I was just there. | ||
| I'm hearing in places like Racine and other parts across the state that they're getting hail and other types of weather. | ||
| We have to come out. | ||
| We have to vote for Justice Daniel Kelly today, April 4th. | ||
| What is the Democrats? | ||
| I mean, you've been out there. | ||
| You've put this together. You've been not just knocking on doors. | ||
| You've got your app where people throughout the country can call and get people out there. | ||
| When you see the opposition on ground game, the Democrats have a powerful ground game, or have they mainly just done it by putting in these massive amounts? | ||
| Because people, I think, Scott, are so blown away by the amount of money that's been spent on television. | ||
| I think it's something like $45 million, principally on TV and radio ads. | ||
| I mean, what is your sense? | ||
| Do the Democrats have a get-out-the-vote machine? | ||
| Is there any other get-out-the-vote machine out there besides Scott Pressler? | ||
| Well, I mean, the GOP, I have to give credit where credit is due. | ||
| Yes, there are GOP organizations. | ||
| Yes, the RNC has people calling in from Michigan, etc. | ||
| And you have mayoral races like in Racine and Brown, where we have Green Bay. | ||
| Now, I've knocked all across the state of Wisconsin, and usually when I knock on doors, I'll see opponent literature at some of those doors. | ||
| I haven't seen any literature whatsoever for Justice Daniel Kelly's And that, to me, is a little disconcerting because, like I said, I've been in this business for a long time and I've never not seen opponents' literature. | ||
| And when I was in Madison, which is, you know, the Milwaukee or the Detroit, another city in Wisconsin that's super democratic, I'm hearing reports that there are fewer Democrat signs out than there were in the November election. | ||
| So is it that people aren't that excited about the Democratic candidate? | ||
| Is it that they're just trying to spend, you know, $20 million plus on TV advertisements and YouTube in order to get out the vote? | ||
| I'm not quite sure, but I have not seen a ground game like I would usually see from the Democrats. | ||
| They're petrified about the tick-tock of all of it in the University of Wisconsin because people feel in the midterms when they didn't see a lot of activity. | ||
| It turned out there was these universities at the end, lines around the corner. | ||
| Do you have any feel? | ||
| from Madison about the University of Wisconsin, because at least from the outside, as we've covered it, they've made it all about abortion, right? | ||
| And are we anticipating another big turnout by particularly younger women, which had been kind of the centerpiece of the of the Democratic Party? | ||
| Or do you anticipate that, that this could be tipped by big turnouts from the universities? | ||
| I did see one tweet that one of the Democrat organizers was celebrating quote-unquote Gen Z, you know, turning out at the polls. | ||
| And, you know, I've spent time on four different campuses here in Wisconsin. | ||
| We went to Marquette University, UW-Green Bay, UW-Milwaukee, UW-Madison. | ||
| And ironically enough, the most support that we had for Justice Daniel Kelly, where we didn't even receive any option, was at UW-Madison. | ||
| Democrats are definitely working the students hard, and there will be a strong push from the students. | ||
| But don't discount the work that we have also done working with the students to make sure that they're registered to vote. | ||
| For example, we got a lot of students going to school in Wisconsin that live in Illinois. | ||
| We have conservative students that we were able to change from Illinois to Wisconsin. | ||
| And remember, we have same-day voter registration in this state. | ||
| So there were quite a few students that are registering to vote today that will be voting for Justice Daniel Kelly. | ||
| Scott, last thing, as returns start to come in tonight, what should this audience look for? | ||
| What would Scott Presto say, hey, focus on this is the signal, not the noise? | ||
| The counties that I'm looking at in particular, we're going to start with Southeast Wisconsin. | ||
| I'm going to be looking at Kenosha and Racine. | ||
| Which we need trending to the right. | ||
| They should be counties that vote for Justice Daniel Kelly. | ||
| I'm also going to be looking, like I said, at Washington, Ozaki, Waukesha. | ||
| We definitely want to make sure that we're stopping the bleeding in Milwaukee and Madison. | ||
| You know, hopefully we're going to be, the Democrats will only receive 70 % of the vote, not more than that. | ||
| And then as you go up the east coast of the state of Wisconsin, we're going to be looking at Winnebago, In Brown County, we have an important mayoral election where we have Chad Weininger, and he's running to replace a current Democrat mayor that is embroiled in a scandal. | ||
| So I believe that we're going to see intense turnout coming from Brown County, which would be good for us, especially if we're able to flip that mayorship from blue to red. | ||
| And then, of course, we need strong turnout in Northwest Wisconsin. | ||
| So I'm going to be looking in the part of the state at Portage, and I'm going to be looking at St. | ||
| Croix and Eau Claire, and we need strong turnout from our NW folks. | ||
| And that's why people can download the application and call Northwest Wisconsin right here, right now. | ||
| Okay, let's download that right now. | ||
| Scott, also, your social media handle so people can follow tonight as the results, the returns unfold. | ||
| Thank you. My social media is at Scott Pressler, S-C-O-T-T-P-R-E-S-L-E-R. Getter, Twitter, every social media. | ||
| If you have any tips, please send me a direct message. | ||
| My messages are open, and I will be reporting the live numbers as we receive them tonight when the polls close at 8 p.m. | ||
| Make a plan to vote, Justice Daniel Kelly, myvote.wi.gov. | ||
| Scott, fantastic work. | ||
| You've been out there over a month. I know you've been grinding every day, so thank you for our audience. | ||
| Thank you very much for all your efforts, sir. | ||
| Thank you. Thanks, Steve. | ||
| The great Scott Pressler. | ||
| Let's go to Gavin Wax in New York City. | ||
| Gavin, I want to play a clip about MTG and then come to you for your comments and observations. | ||
|
unidentified
|
As you can see, I'm seated here peacefully protesting, but you called me out by name. | |
| While you allow crime in your streets and you send your henchmen down here to commit assault against people by making loud noises, assault against police officers who are doing their jobs trying to keep things civil, trying to keep peace, and trying to prevent violence. | ||
| Democrats are the party of violence. | ||
| Gavin, I know you've done and looked at a lot of protests. | ||
| We had actually Rudy Giuliani join us in the morning show to do live observations of that as you guys were down there. | ||
| He has never seen in his life, he said a standard rule is to separate the two. | ||
| It's a First Amendment. You want people to have a robust protest, to have their voices out there. | ||
| But the basic understanding of NYPD is to keep the crowd separated. | ||
| You know, the pro side's over here, the anti side's over there. | ||
| You can be loud as you want, but you keep the two groups separated. | ||
| What happened? Was this done consciously? | ||
| I had a chance just to briefly catch up with MTG. She was on the show earlier this morning, but she thinks this was done purposely. | ||
| You're the guy in charge. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Is that the way you call it? | |
| The NYPD did set up a barrier. | ||
| The problem was it wasn't necessarily enforced, and the counter-protesters, there were only so many of them. | ||
| There was actually very few of them. | ||
| It was just a loud, vocal minority of the people there. | ||
| And what happened was a member of the city council, a radical leftist by the name of Chi Osei, I don't know if I said councilman, I think councilperson, excuse me, because I don't know if he has a gender. | ||
| But this individual was there passing out whistles and all sorts of things, and he was pushing through the crowd, along with Congressman Jamal Bowman and Jumaane Williams, public advocate. | ||
| So the whole thing was just kind of orchestrated by the left-wing political leaders in the New York City government, and they were just running roughshod over things. | ||
| And even though they only had a few dozen people with them, They were able to make a lot of noise and be very disruptive because, you know, they were just chanting hysterical things and blowing on the whistles that they distributed. | ||
| And they made it seem like they were a much bigger presence. | ||
| But the fact of the matter is, is that in such a blue city, such a blue borough, they had a pretty minimal presence there. | ||
| I mean, they were vastly outnumbered by Trump supporters who, you know, this is a city block, Steve. | ||
| This is a full city block, collect on. | ||
| And we have Trump supporters from end to end, corner to corner. | ||
| And all they could do was basically chase Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene like a hyena and blow their whistles to try to silence her voice. | ||
| But her voice was not silenced. | ||
| She spoke to over a thousand people there. | ||
| And of course, across the entire world, we had the entire international and domestic press there. | ||
| So her voice was heard. | ||
| She came to New York. Kudos to her. | ||
| I wish more members of Congress had the backbone that Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has. | ||
| Hang on, I just want to make sure that particularly, not just our audience across the nation, but the audience internationally, are you telling me at the center of Trump derangement syndrome, when you organized this protest and brought a firebrand like Marjorie Taylor Greene, you have President Trump going to be arraigned, you have Marjorie Taylor Greene, you have the New York Young Republicans Club with people like yourself of a big profile in New York City, and people like Vish Burr. | ||
| That only drew a smattering. | ||
| It did not draw thousands or tens of thousands. | ||
| Because New York City is the railhead of Trump derangement syndrome. | ||
| Because the media is covering this up. | ||
| There were not thousands of anti-Trump protesters there? | ||
| Nope. Last time we were there, what was it, two weeks ago, there wasn't a single counter-protester. | ||
| Oh, excuse me, there was one homeless man. | ||
| Who lives in the park, he was chanting at me last time we were there. | ||
| He was actually pretty nice. | ||
| You know, I think he just wanted some attention, but he didn't really have any political motivation necessarily. | ||
| Today, yes, there were some protesters, but I would argue probably 10 to 1 in terms of our numbers to theirs. | ||
| They were small. | ||
| The press wasn't really even interested in them. | ||
| They barely went into their cordoned-off area. | ||
| We had the numbers. | ||
| The numbers continue to grow through the day. | ||
| We actually, because we moved the timing of the protests from 12 to 1030, You know, people were coming in kind of at different points, so the crowd just kept building and building and building. | ||
| But by the time I left, it was like a county fair. | ||
| I mean, people were, you know, they were there. | ||
| They were giving out snacks. | ||
| The naked cowboy showed up. | ||
| I mean, it was a real New York county thing by the end of it. | ||
| So I didn't see this massive, you know, left-wing resist movement. | ||
| I saw a few local politicians, Democrat politicians, that wanted to get some social media clips for their diehards. | ||
| And that's what they did. And as soon as Marjorie was gone, they were pretty much nowhere to be found. | ||
| That's what I want to also bring up, that the two, that the councilperson and a congressman were two senior Democrat elected officials came down and were part of stirring this thing up? | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| They were organizing it, it feels like. | ||
| They were passing out the whistles that they were using to try to silence the congresswoman. | ||
| I mean, they were part of this entire, you know, little mini attempted protest or counter protest, rather. | ||
| And I'm sure they were aided and abetted. | ||
| In some ways by the press, but the press outnumbered them. | ||
| I mean, you know, we got attacked last time for our last event because of the crowd size and the numbers. | ||
| I mean, you can see the shots. | ||
| I don't know if you guys have the picture, but this was an entire New York City block that was filled. | ||
| Oh no, this is big. 10.30 a.m., lower Manhattan. | ||
| The roads were closed. | ||
| There were suspiciously some delays on the LIRR, which is the train from Long Island. | ||
| But still, everyone made it down there and was able to assemble. | ||
| There were massive flags. | ||
| So I think they were embarrassed for their side because their side had such a weak showing. | ||
| But, you know, I guess a lot of their support is astroturfing at the end of the day. | ||
| Now, you pulled this together. | ||
| Eric Adams yesterday, and we had Congressman Green on this morning after the talk, she said that the mayor threatened her. | ||
| You were the organizer. | ||
| Do you back that up? | ||
| Do you think that Eric Adams actually threatened the congressman, and by implication, you and the New York Young Republicans Club were trying to put on a First Amendment event to support the individual who won the presidency twice? | ||
| Absolutely. There were subtle threats in his speech. | ||
| He's trying to act like a mobster, like a gangster, you know, the gangster mayor. | ||
| I mean, it was ridiculous. | ||
| I mean, he's there only talking about us. | ||
| I mean, he's living, he knows better, I would hope. | ||
| I mean, he knows this is nonsense, what he's saying. | ||
| We're the peaceful side, particularly in this city. | ||
| And he's there threatening a sitting member of Congress. | ||
| He's threatening Trump supporters. | ||
| He's trying to lecture us in this sanctimonious, you know, schoolyard fashion. | ||
| I mean, it was totally ridiculous. | ||
| I mean, the only people that were acting rude and out of line were, one, the press. | ||
| I mean, you have a video of this guy, this cameraman from the press, attacking an independent journalist like a complete lunatic. | ||
| So that was one. And then you got the other side of it. | ||
| You just have a few The small group of these rabid counter-protesters who were down there who were shouting expletives and blowing their whistles. | ||
| I mean, they were acting like the rabble-rousers that Eric Adams accused us of being. | ||
| But, you know, this is all lost on them. | ||
| They don't care. They don't care about the hypocrisy or any kind of, you know, standards. | ||
| I think what shocked people, you know, you've been on the show a number of times. | ||
| You put on these great events. | ||
| People talk about how the devolution of New York City. | ||
| But I think as the charges came out today, people were texting me. | ||
| My phone's blowing up. People are shocked to say, you know, Gavin and these guys have been talking about it, but it's actually real. | ||
| This is a town run by Bolsheviks. | ||
| Walk us through your perception of what today showed the world. | ||
| And quite frankly, how are we going to get it back? | ||
| I mean, you guys have this very robust, vibrant club that puts on these great events and you're in people's faces. | ||
| But how do you actually turn this city around? | ||
| Because people forget, you know, Brad got 83 % of the vote, but almost nobody voted. | ||
| Almost nobody voted. Nobody votes anymore in New York. | ||
| So how are we going to turn this around? | ||
| Well, I will point out that our club was one of the first people to endorse Bragg's opponent, Thomas Kniff, a veteran, a great guy. | ||
| He would have been an amazing district attorney. | ||
| We were the only group that even distributed literature for him on the streets. | ||
| We're handing out lit at subway stops. | ||
| I mean, the party is pretty much nowhere to be found. | ||
| In this state, but at the end of the day, New York City is a cyclical town. | ||
| It's sad, but it's a microcosm of Western civilization. | ||
| It's cyclical. It has to get really, really bad before it gets better. | ||
| And we saw this in the 80s into the 90s with the rise of Mayor Giuliani. | ||
| You had the rise and fall of Gotham, a movie that just came out by a good friend of mine, Matthew Taylor, that describes this. | ||
| It had to get very, very bad with the crack epidemic and everything for the city finally to come to its senses and elect some common sense But the problem was, back then, it wasn't even so ideological. | ||
| It was just kind of just like a non-ideological, corrupt, kind of misrun city. | ||
| Now, it's an ideologically driven destruction, almost purposeful, of the great American city. | ||
| And this is happening across the country, but in particular, New York. | ||
| You said it. You said these Bolshevists, these Marxists, these radical globalist nihilists who are running the city into the ground. | ||
| And it's not just your everyday corruption and incompetence. | ||
| This is purposeful. Some of these people are actually smart. | ||
| They know what they're doing. And they're deliberately deconstructing society here in New York City. | ||
| And they aim to do it nationally and globally. | ||
| And it's basically a look into our future in many ways for what they have in store for the rest of the country. | ||
| So this is the front lines. | ||
| And as far as turning it around, I mean, I think the cyclical nature, if you are organized and in the right place at the right time, When that cyclical nature of history, in this case, the history of New York City begins its upward trend, you can be there to capture it and ride that trend up and solidify power and then really turn things around. | ||
| But I also think we're making marginals. | ||
| I think there's a lot of growth in the outer boroughs, South Brooklyn, Northeast Queens, South Queens, Staten Island. | ||
| We're growing a multi-ethnic working class populist party in New York. | ||
| We're picking up city council seats. | ||
| I mean, it's a small number. We have the largest number of city council seats for Republicans today than we have in decades. | ||
| So these things are happening, albeit slowly, but we're part of that movement. | ||
| And you can win on the margins, you can grow things, you can grow the infrastructure, you can grow the party. | ||
| Every elected official you get, I mean, a city council member gets like millions in discretionary funds. | ||
| I mean, that's real power. That's real influence. | ||
| And if Republicans are smart and know how to wield it and know how to use it, we can start to block by block take our city back and be in a position where we can potentially, you know, turn it around in a substantive way. | ||
| I mean, look, even at the state level, Lee Zeldin got, what, 47 percent? | ||
| I mean, that's unheard of in many cases. | ||
| You know, there is trend lines that can work in our favor. | ||
| We just have to be able to seize the day and rise to the occasion. | ||
| I know you've got to bounce. Two quick questions. | ||
| Number one, President Trump, obviously, I think he's going to come back in a couple of months as the next phase. | ||
| This thing will take place in the earliest spring of 2024, probably even later during the middle of the presidential election, maybe even afterwards. | ||
| What do you guys intend to do in the future in showing support? | ||
| Because I anticipate that this is going to get even crazy. | ||
| I think today's crazy. In the middle of a presidential election to have the trial, even to have these that when he's got to come into court to do these filings, it's going to be more insane because President Trump will be the nominee. | ||
| What do you guys anticipate? | ||
| We're already preparing amicus briefs that we want to file on behalf of the club in these cases. | ||
| We're going to do it now at the Supreme Court level. | ||
| I think we can do it on motions. | ||
| It's most likely going to go to the appellate. | ||
| We'll file it in the appellate. | ||
| It'll probably go to the Court of Appeals. | ||
| We'll file it there. You know, our club led a legal battle against the state of New York to redraw the assembly line. | ||
| So we have experience working within this system and we're going to, you know, engage in some litigation lawfare. | ||
| To the best of our ability to help, we're obviously going to continue to stay active on the activism front, you know, drawing attention, building up these crowds, holding our rallies, our peaceful protests. | ||
| This is a multi-front war, Steve. | ||
| You know this better than anyone. So we're going to fight them in the courtrooms. | ||
| We're going to fight them in the court of public opinion in the press. | ||
| And then we're also going to, you know, continue to generate the crowds that are necessary to keep pressure on. | ||
| And we continue to do that, that all of the above strategy I'm not saying it's going to be a miracle cure. | ||
| I'm not saying it's going to turn this thing around. | ||
| We have a systemic crisis in this country and our republic, but we're certainly not going to go down without a fight, without any effort. | ||
| Last question, and I think this came today from some of the footage that was shown, and particularly with Congressman Green. | ||
| You know, you and Vish and the other folks I know that are associated with the club are pretty, you know, you're pretty tough guys. | ||
| But are you guys, is there a safety issue, particularly when club members and club members who will be female go out to protest? | ||
| Because it was a pretty rough crowd today, the opposition. | ||
| The counterpart is a pretty rough crowd. | ||
| It's a good question. | ||
| I've been doxed. They found my apartment once. | ||
| They littered my neighborhood with posters before after one of our forbidden gala in 2020 where we contravened the COVID laws. | ||
| This is a tough place to be a conservative. | ||
| It's a tough place to be a Republican. | ||
| You need to have a backbone. I think our board, our leadership team, Our members know what they're getting themselves into when they join our organization, when they take on leadership roles. | ||
| They know the cost of being an outspoken conservative and populist in New York City. | ||
| And I think that's why I'm so proud of my team, that they're able to stand shoulder to shoulder and withstand this. | ||
| I mean, you know, they come after people's jobs. | ||
| They dox you. You know, you want to hold a corporate nine to five. | ||
| You want to get your benefits. You want to get your vacation days, a nice six-figure salary to pay for your apartment. | ||
| That could all come crashing down with one bad news article, with one bad Twitter post, and that's what the left does. | ||
| They target you, they try to take away your income, they take away your ability to earn a living, and that's what they designed to silence you, to shut you up. | ||
| Yeah, you have freedom of speech, but if you're destitute, what is it worth at that point? | ||
| So these are the fights we're up against. | ||
| And we're up against, it's a multi-front war. | ||
| You've got the left, you've got the Republican establishment, this sort of controlled opposition. | ||
| You know, the Manchurian candidates in our own party. | ||
| And then, of course, you got fed. | ||
| So, you know, it's never a dull moment to be a conservative. | ||
| And those were the things we were going into this protest hearing. | ||
| I mean, there's a lot of stress going in there. | ||
| You have no idea if there's going to be instigators, saboteurs. | ||
| People are going to throw a punch. | ||
| People are going to swing. | ||
| I will say, and I want to say it on the show, that I do admire with the utmost respect The professionalism of the NYPD. I know there are issues. | ||
| I know they have no institutional support. | ||
| I know their hands are tied behind their back. | ||
| I know their hearts are in the right place, and they are with us in many senses, but they're unable to do their jobs, and it's sad because they are a great force, a professional force, and they did keep things safe today, and we owe a lot to them and the state troopers and all the rest, but it's a sad day for our city, state, and country, Steve, and we're in the dying embers of a once-great Republican. | ||
| I gotta tell you, I think from people all over the country, the leadership that you and Vish and the others, the leadership of the club has just been extraordinary. | ||
| We had other Republican clubs, and particularly other young Republican clubs, with the courage that you guys have, because that's what this is about. | ||
| It's about courage. I can tell you, it is very tough. | ||
| to be a conservative. It's very tough to be a Republican. | ||
| It's even tough to be a Trump supporter in New York City because they're all out for you and they've got the most radical, dangerous people there that are supported by some of the most radical, dangerous people. | ||
| Gavin, what's your social media, how they get to the club, how they find out more about you? | ||
| Well, thank you again, Steve, for having me on and the kind words. | ||
| You can follow me at Gavin Wax, G-A-V-I-N-W-A-X, Twitter, Instagram, Getter, Truth, all the rest. | ||
| You can follow the club at NYYRC, the New York Young Republican Club. | ||
| The oldest and largest in the country. | ||
| I would love for you guys to join, support our mission. | ||
| We're going to keep up the fight, and we hope everyone else does the same. | ||
| Okay, Gavin, thank you. | ||
| Thank you for doing that today. | ||
| That protest out there with Marjorie Taylor Greene yourselves was, I can tell you, I know President Trump really appreciated it. | ||
| So thank you very much from the war room posse, sir. | ||
| Thank you, sir. Okay, an historic day, and President Trump is gonna address the nation at 8.15 tonight. | ||
| We're gonna take a short commercial break. | ||
| We're going to be back in the War Room Battleground in just a moment. | ||
|

As days go where you get arraigned and indicted, a pretty not a terrible day for the former president in terms of how it could have gone. | |
| Yeah, things are probably looking up after the former president read the indictment, which his team's going to interpret us then. | ||
| And that's going to be their message tonight. | ||
| I expect to hear him be indignant after a day where he, you know, as I mentioned earlier, was really out of control of the situation. | ||
| He didn't define the terms. | ||
| He didn't get to choose the audience he was speaking to. | ||
| He didn't get to get to come and go as he wanted to. | ||
| Now he's back home. He's at his club. | ||
| He's surrounded by supporters. | ||
| Even Mitt Romney, a constant detractor of the former presidents, came out and said, you know, he's unfit to be president. | ||
| I don't support him again. | ||
| However, this is a weak case by the DA. So he's seeing even people like Mitt Romney give him that feedback. | ||
| I think he's going to use this moment as a reset to say, my people are with me. | ||
| They reportedly have raised $10 million in the last couple of weeks since this came down. | ||
| And it's going to say, you know, it's a time to be on our side of this because it's a political witch. | ||
| Does this hurt? I mean, I'm throwing this up to the table. | ||
| Does this hurt the other cases right now being pursued? | ||
| I worry. I mean, look, if this is the only pebble that gets thrown at Donald Trump, it's a very small pebble. | ||
| If it's the first pebble in an avalanche of other indictments that strike more to the heart of, I think, people's core concern about Donald Trump, which is his threat to democracy, So if this is the first pebble, the next one is about the election interference in Georgia. | ||
| The next one is about the coup, the insurrection, January 6th. | ||
| The next one is about him hoarding these documents and why. | ||
| Then it begins to fit. | ||
| But if this is the only pebble, it's not much of a pebble. | ||
| And I do think the backlash against this pebble might cow other people who might otherwise have been courageous enough to step forward. | ||
| I've got to say two observations. | ||
| First, to Alyssa's point, you know, today... | ||
| First off, Logan in Memphis, our great producer, just hang on, I'm going to ask for that to be started again. | ||
| It was so good. It's so good, I can't wait. | ||
| Just hang on right back to that thing. | ||
| That's fantastic. Okay, we have two, I mean, beyond haters. | ||
| First off, you've got... | ||
| Anderson Cooper comes off the night shift to do it live because they think they're going to be burying Trump today. | ||
| You got the FARA girl who was a comms person and now she's the queen, you know, princess of the haters. | ||
| She's a super hater. She's on ABC The View just to hate on Trump. | ||
| But the piece de resistance is Van Jones from Obama's White House. | ||
| A hater. I think the founder of ColorChange. | ||
| He's an old school, original gangster hater. | ||
| But Van Jones is a very smart guy. | ||
| He says a lot of very smart stuff on television. | ||
| He doesn't spin people. | ||
| What did he just say right there? | ||
| He called this a pebble. | ||
| He said, this is just a pebble. | ||
| Yeah, you've got a problem. If it's a pebble, it leads to an avalanche, and that avalanche has got to be Fulton County, and it can't be a conspiracy. | ||
| It's got a real crime. The Mar-a-Lago, and you need a crime, not a conspiracy. | ||
| This is outing them all. | ||
| Trump derangement syndrome. | ||
| Trump derangement syndrome, where they can't get beyond and see what the man accomplished. | ||
| You know, we're going to try to get Philip Patrick on tomorrow morning's show. | ||
| Gold hit an all-time high. Why did gold hit an all-time high? | ||
| Why did gold hit an all-time high? | ||
| Because for 5,000 years of recorded history, it's been a hedge. | ||
| Why have we been a partner with Birch Gold the last couple of years? | ||
| Because we could see this financial system about to collapse like in 2008 and maybe worse. | ||
| And the spending out of control and the inflation out of control and the banking system now insolvent. | ||
| And they're walking us into a third world war on the Eurasian landmass. | ||
| Even if you hated Trump, you just look at the facts of the four years of peace and prosperity he gave you. | ||
| That he provided. With everything going on and the administrative state against him and all this thing, and every day, Maggie Haber and these people on TV, their hair on fire, Trump this, Trump this, Russiagate this, this, this, he can't go, he goes over to World War I, he does it wrong, and he's disrespectful, he goes to Helsinki, and he's loving up on Putin. | ||
| Every day, something else. With all that, four years of peace and prosperity, four years. | ||
| Including the golden year of 2019, particularly that Christmas, with increased wages by blue-collar workers, I think 10 or 11 percent, with no inflation, no inflation. | ||
| Real economic growth, true economic growth in the world of peace. | ||
| The mullahs in Tehran put in their box, the Chinese Communist Party getting a fist to the mouth with at least Trump's first trade deal, and it was not perfect. | ||
| Remember, I'm the head of the Superhawks. | ||
| I want to take them down. I think they're illegitimate. | ||
| It was not perfect, but directionally, it's the first time anybody in this country, any leadership in this country had the entire whole of government talking about the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| The Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| And then you had the bioweapon hit us. | ||
| Four years of peace and prosperity. | ||
| Four years. And even a guy like Evan Jones, who's a stone-cold hater of Trump and everything Trump stands for, the populist nationalist right, sits there with Anderson Cooper because they can't hide it. | ||
| They can't spin it. That this is a pebble. | ||
| He calls it with all this hoopla, and this is what I'm not going to be like. | ||
| We're not going to be like CNN and MSNBC and do the white bronco of O.J. and follow every second, and there's the plane leaving the tarmac, and there's these wheels up now. | ||
| It's immature. It's unworthy of a great nation. | ||
| It's unworthy of the audience. | ||
| You have lives to live. | ||
| And we told you this was going to be a fight. | ||
| But I'll be honest. I am shocked that this is what they brought forward. | ||
| Why did they bring it forward? | ||
| In their own mind, in the Trump derangement syndrome mind, oh, this is the first one. | ||
| We speared, you know, this is Ahab going after the white whale. | ||
| We got the first spirit. And now they're shocked. | ||
| The undertone there at CNN, the undertone tells you they understand this is so outrageous. | ||
| This is so over the top. | ||
| What did they say? What did Farrah say? | ||
| Oh, his team's going to be telling them it's thin. | ||
| Ma'am, it ain't thin. | ||
| This is tissue-like thin. | ||
| This is not even an attempt. | ||

This is a sick joke. | |
| But in the American Bolshevik's mind, in the American Bolshevik, because they don't care anymore, the rule of law and all that is just forget about it. | ||
| Incredible. You're also going to see, you're also going to see, you know, people coming forward about who's really, who can act The time for talk is over. | ||
| It's the time for action. | ||
| Why are we still having... | ||
| Why are we having FBI headquarters bigger than the Pentagon? | ||
| Shut it down. Here's the number zero. | ||
| Just sequester the funds. | ||
| Cut it off. Go back and claw back every piece of money that was given to these people that's causing inflation. | ||
| Action, action, action. | ||
| Where are the stones in the Republican Party? | ||
| People were sending me today, some Republicans I know, and they respect them, these statements. | ||
| I sent it back to them. I don't want to hear any more statements. | ||
| Don't need a statement. I need your action. | ||
| I need what you're going to do tomorrow. | ||
| Why don't you recall Congress tomorrow? | ||
| Stop the two-week break. Okay? | ||
| I know you want to be home. | ||
| You want to be your constituents. Your constituents say, get back to Washington. | ||
| Celebrate Easter. Work Holy Week. | ||
| Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ wouldn't have a problem with that. | ||
| On the holiest days in the Christian calendar, wouldn't have a problem with that. | ||
| Our Jewish representatives on Passover, because it's a crisis, come back to Washington. | ||
| Seeing what they did today, come back to Washington. | ||
| Call Bragg down here tomorrow. | ||
| Give him a subpoena. Give the guys in the DOJ a subpoena. | ||
| This is a time of national crisis. | ||
| They got nothing on Trump. And the media, and MSNBC, and Ari Melber, and all these hours they spend there, and Nicole Wallace, and they're sitting there with the knitted brow, and they're walking through. | ||
| They got Andrew Weissman. | ||
| That's psycho. He gets more psycho every day. | ||
| And they got all the district attorney, the former prosecutors, the former prosecutors up there, and they're talking. | ||

It's all crap. It's all crap. | |
| Alvin Bragg couldn't answer a question, and it's a disgrace of Harvard to have him as a graduate. | ||
| That's a disgrace. A disgrace to have him as a graduate of Harvard Law School. | ||
| I can't get Dershowitz on here just to razz him on that. | ||
| How did that guy slip through? | ||
| He couldn't answer a question and he's such a moron and a gutless coward and he understand the flop sweat coming down over that big old face of his, flop sweat everywhere. | ||
| He ran off the stage because he couldn't answer any of the basic questions. | ||
| of the liberal legal media that's there. | ||
| Trust me, just because they're liberal doesn't mean they're not smart. | ||
| The first question is, hey, I noticed there's no crimes here. | ||
| Can you help me out? I'm looking through this thing. | ||
| I don't see the crimes. Oh, well, you know, I'm not really technically in charge. | ||
| I don't really have to list the crimes. | ||
| Hello? You're indicting not just a former president of the United States, a guy that won twice, and the guy, and let me refer you, Brother Bragg, to the Reuters-Ipsos poll. | ||
| This is not Breitbart, it's not Gateway Pundit, it's not War Room. | ||
| You got the polls, got him at 49%. | ||
| The new poll's out. | ||
| National Republican primary, Trump at 48, DeSantis at 19. | ||
| DeSantis at 19. | ||
| And he's up or leading Biden. | ||
| He's marching back to the White House and you indict a guy in front of the world. | ||
| How do you think? What do you think they're doing in Beijing right now? | ||
| How do you think they're looking at this? | ||
| They're going, we think we won here. | ||
| If this is the leadership of America that would do this to a leader in the country, in the history, think of the republic. | ||
| Think of the battlefield deaths we've had. | ||
| Think of people who disagreed politically. | ||
| Think of people that came together to save this republic. | ||
| They're given the highest sacrifice. | ||
| To be able to bequeath this republic down generation to generation, and many people who do not agree with you, do not agree with conservatives, don't agree with limited government, none of it, that fought and died for this country. | ||
| Everybody that fought and died for this country to pass it down, look at this today. | ||
| This is a disgrace. | ||
| This is a disgrace. And this is why we didn't play it up and we're going to make a big thing. | ||
| I told you we weren't going to do every show because there's so many big things happening in the world. | ||
| So many important things happening in the world. | ||
| And of course, the moron today, they asked Joe Biden, hey, they asked him a question, hey, are you concerned about AI? You know, you got this thing of 1,000 top guys in AI, so we ought to have immediate moratorium. | ||
| And of course, some of the really smart guys in AI are saying, it shouldn't be a moratorium, it should be a full stop today. | ||
| And by the way, if you find anybody throughout the world that doesn't full stop today, we should have drone or airstrikes on the data centers to take them out. | ||
| That's how serious this is. | ||
| And his response is, what, me, worry? | ||
| Oh, you know, I think it's going to be okay. | ||
| I think this AI thing's going to be okay. | ||
| Okay, thank you, Joe. The brilliance just illuminated the issue. | ||
| I feel so much better. | ||
| I don't think I need my pillow 2.0 tonight. | ||
| I'm going to send back the pillows I don't need tonight because I feel comfortable. | ||
| I can sleep well tonight because Joe Biden gave me that deep thought that only a Biden can. | ||
| You know, the concept of a dumb mick, I come from a family, but he is a dumb mick, okay? | ||
| By the way, can I get my clock over here? | ||
| I'm blocked. I'm on a roll now, baby. | ||
| You're going to have to deal with it. | ||
| I want to go, can we put this poll up? | ||
| Okay, so President Trump is going to address, he's going to address the nation tonight at 8.15. | ||
| I would assume he's going to come in hot. | ||
| Let me tell you something else about it. They said Elissa Farah, and I know her parents very well, and they're terrific people. | ||
| WorldNetDaily, it doesn't get any better than the Farahs. | ||
| I mean, they are just good people, and I know it breaks their heart about their daughter. | ||
| And, you know, she was at one time close to Trump, and now she's not. | ||
| She's an apostate. Out there on The View and CNN spitting, you know, venom. | ||
| When she says he's not in control, he looked like a Viking walking in there. | ||
| Do you see that look? He's got the thing like, what are you wasting my time for? | ||
| And the judge is giving some mealy-mouth thing. | ||
| Hey, he came in like a Viking warrior, okay? | ||
| Calm, cool, collected, I got this. | ||
| I don't know if you saw the officer or whoever didn't even hold the door for him. | ||
| You see the lack of respect for an individual that won the presidency twice and the second time with 74 million votes and gave this country four years of peace and prosperity? | ||
| How many times in this nation, in tumultuous times, not when the world's on a roll, but in tumultuous times, how many times does the United States have peace and prosperity? | ||
| Four years of that. You know how many times I can't, I'm going to have to go back and check. | ||
| I'm pretty good on the history. Nothing jumps to mind. | ||
| Okay, nothing jumps to mind. | ||
| After a couple of devastating wars when the world was kind of floundering back and these other wars were starting to kick up, but not in a time like 2016 to 2020. | ||
| And look what it is today. You know, Ben Burkwam, the real America's voice, in a gunfight down there in Panama because of the invasion of the southern border down there in the Darien Gap. | ||
| You got gold hits an all-time day. | ||
| Gold hitting at all time is a vote of no confidence in the American dollar. | ||
| Why did we go back with birch gold and start this series a year and a half, two years ago? | ||
| I said, this is what's going to happen. | ||
| You can see what's going to happen. | ||
| These guys are out of control, they're going to spend, and they've got this modern monetary theory that's an intellectual substrate to this, and the Federal Reserve, they're just going to have the Federal Reserve, the elites guys, they're just going to keep printing money, they're going to keep printing money, they're going to devalue your currency, they're going to have inflation out of control. | ||
| And at some point in time, because they say, oh, it's 10 or 20 or 30 or 40 years away before the world wakes up and wants to get off the dollar, I said, no, no, no, these people, all the people that lead the country, the people who work around them all went to Wharton, all went to Chicago, all went to MIT Sloan, they went to Harvard. | ||
| They got plenty of smart people. | ||
| Don't think they're dumb people throughout the world, okay? | ||
| They're not. These people are cunning, a lot of them not good people, but they're plain smart, and not just that, they can run the numbers, they can do the math. | ||
| And they see what the scam is, and they're not just going to sit there and go, hey, we control the resources. | ||
| What do these foreign devils control? | ||
| This Greenback? | ||
| This Federal Reserve note? What is that? | ||
| That's why with Birch Gold, I said, hey, I think we can do something and go next level on this. | ||
| The end of the dollar empire. | ||
| When we first started, people were going, oh, this is Bannon's hair on fire again. | ||
| This is another wild theory. | ||
| Hey, we'll suck on that. | ||
| Okay? Turned out it was not so wild, right? | ||
| But go there today. You owe it to yourself, to your family, to everything you've worked for. | ||
| You've got to check it out. I'm not telling you to buy gold. | ||
| That's not my role in life. | ||
| You have experts at Birching to talk to, but you've got to get the information. | ||
| This is why I've had Peter Navarro. | ||
| But Harvard taught the undergraduates. | ||
| It was one of these lectures. | ||
| That's what happens when you have the graduate school guys go over, particularly to the undergraduates in the first-year courses. | ||
| They either come in and lecture or they help the professors. | ||
| Sometimes they teach the courses, graduate assistants. | ||
| He's got that strategic macro course up. | ||
| I think it's $10 or $12 for War Room. | ||
| Go on our site and check it out. | ||
| We want to immerse you in information. | ||
| Why do we want to immerse you in information? | ||
| Because the world's at an inflection point. | ||
| It's at a crossroads. It's going to be one thing or another. | ||
| This is what a fourth turning is all about. | ||
| And today you saw the American-Bolshevik aspect of that. | ||
| Think how we started the show this morning. | ||
| First of all, I'm very proud of the fact that Scott Pressler, a real true hero, kind of a Johnny Appleseed type, out there spreading the seeds of precinct strategy and local engagement and turning this around and getting out the vote. | ||
| And putting his shoulder to the wheel, and signing people up to vote, and spreading the message. | ||
| So we had Scott in Wisconsin, then we went right to Trump Tower, Rebecca Koffler, a former DIA senior official, one of the briefers about Putin. | ||
| She left the Soviet Union as a young person that came here. | ||
| She's seen what the Soviet Union is. | ||
| She's seen what Marxism is, what communism is, what the Bolsheviks are. | ||
| And what do you call them? The American Bolsheviks. | ||
| And that's what we're up against. | ||
| And President Trump's going to lay it out tonight, and I'm sure he's going to come in a little hot. | ||
| And he should be a little hot. | ||
| But right now, what we have to do is we have to focus, and they're going to come at him because they didn't, not only they didn't take him down, they hurt their case today. | ||
| So watch out. They're going to get all revved up down in Georgia. | ||
| They're going to get all revved up there. | ||
| They're going to tell her, we're going to make you a rock star. | ||
| They're going to get all revved up on that one. | ||
| They're going to get all revved up on Jack Smith. | ||
| They're saying, oh yeah, you got to have a couple of, and all you're hearing about is conspiracy, conspiracy to do this. | ||
| Conspiracy at Mar-a-Lago, because they don't have any crimes. | ||
| No crimes. They've got to kick up some conspiracy. | ||
| That's 100 % what you're going to see. | ||
| And President Trump's going to come on tonight, and I think he's going to give it to you right between the eyes with both barrels. | ||
| Or, as we say down south, with the bark on. | ||
| So do not miss that tonight. | ||
| We're going to live stream it. I think Jane Zirkle will actually be there live. | ||
| Our own Jane Zirkle will be at Mar-a-Lago. | ||
| I don't think they're scheduled to take questions. | ||
| If they do, Jane will have a great one. | ||
| She always gets picked to ask a question because her questions are so good. | ||
| But Mo and Grace Chong, and I know people are slammed, but we'll be up for that tonight and also to get Scott on and to get his updates on what's happening in Wisconsin. | ||
| It's all important in Wisconsin. | ||
| Can I play? I want to play the Ron DeSantis. | ||
| Can we play the Ron DeSantis before we go? | ||
| Because I think this is very important. Look, the Santas is starting to implode, starting to fade, or failure to launch, or failure to pre-launch. | ||
| Say what it is. One of the reasons, it's not just simply they see they're ganging up on Trump. | ||
| It's also the fact they're starting to look at the facts, okay, what are you actually going to do if you govern? | ||
| And look, he's had two speeches. | ||
| At Reagan Library and at New York at the Air Museum or whatever it was, these are two seminal spots. | ||
| These are two important speeches. | ||
| These are great venues to give the big picture with the details of what you're going to do and how you're going to govern. | ||
| It's just a continual checklist of like, whoa, and I'm going to do this, you know, and I did this with this committee and this PTA. That's all fine. | ||
| But dude, you're not running to be the governor of America. | ||
| You're running to be commander in chief and the president of the United States. | ||
| Let's go ahead and play this spot. | ||
|

Think you know Ron DeSantis? | |
| Think again. In Congress, DeSantis voted three separate times to cut Social Security. | ||
| That's right, three times over three years. | ||
| Worse, DeSantis voted to cut Medicare two times. | ||
| DeSantis even voted to raise the retirement age to 70. | ||
| The more you learn about DeSantis, the more you see he doesn't share our values. | ||
| He's just not ready to be president. | ||
| Make America Great Again, Inc. | ||
| is responsible for the content of his advertising. | ||
| You know, I've said this from the beginning, I think, and this is when he was an acolyte of Paul Renn, I think Governor Santa's gotta come and explain exactly what this is because it's just not acceptable. | ||
| The cuts to Social Security and Medicare are not acceptable. | ||
| There's so much else in this discretionary budget you can get to right now and you gotta get to right now. | ||
| Okay, I want to thank Memphis for being on the ball here in the first hour with Real America's Voice in Denver. | ||
| We had a little problem. The system went down and froze up. | ||
| I don't think we missed anything because we wanted to play as much of that. | ||
| I wanted you to see as much of the Bragg thing as possible, and I think the A Block was good for that. | ||
| I really want to thank Mike Davis for hanging with us and Gavin Wax and, of course, Scott Pressler. | ||
| Tomorrow morning, okay, Trump tonight at 8, we'll be up at 8, 8.15. | ||
| To watch that, make sure everybody watches. | ||
| You want to be on point. We'll have commentary in the chat room. | ||
| I'll be in the chat room. I think Mo and them may actually be up and giving their own comments. | ||
| Natalie is not, they had a problem with her plane today, so a mechanical issue. | ||
| She is not going to be doing. | ||
| Tim Cash should be doing, she's going to reschedule. | ||
| Although Natalie is going to be doing, she's going to host, I think, the 5 o'clock show on Thursday and Friday of this week. | ||
| with some very special guests. | ||
| We've got a lot going on. It's Passover week. | ||
| It's Holy Week. But man, oh man, that's a lot happening. | ||
| We're going to be back here at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. | ||
| Get up on Getter tonight. | ||
| Make sure you watch this. We're going to be back 10 o'clock tomorrow morning trying to get Philip Patrick or Birch Gold. |
