It's going to happen.

6 May in the year of our Lord, 2023.
I understand that that probably is getting mixed reviews for a lot of this audience in the war room, but there is a method to our madness.
A couple of things. Number one, if you saw the coronation today, a deeply Christian service really passing on the Protestant crown of the United Kingdom and the pledge to make sure that there's a Protestant king following the Protestant religion.
And I understand that that is something that we've got to drill down on.
Is that just form or is there any substance there?
Also, an incredible article in Politico this morning.
I'm going to bring in Ben Harnwell here for a second.
I tell you what, let me bring Ben in on the service.
Then I want to get to the article in Politico.
Politico Europe. Had, quite frankly, an amazing piece for Politico that talked about the power behind the throne.
And it's one of the most succinct and brilliant analysis of how the administrative state and the deep state report actually more to the Crown than they do to Parliament.
And this is important.
As we take on and fight the administrative state here, because you go back to the stopping Trump.
Remember, MI5 and MI6 were up to their neck in that in Project Operation Hurricane.
Let's go to Ben Harnwell.
Ben, first off, you're now head of the International Bureau out of Rome, but you're an Englishman.
Walk us through the service we saw today, particularly essentially an Episcopalian or Anglican High Mass with the coronation is all essentially...
It's not so much...
It's the people saying he's a legitimate king because I realize...
Remember, he's king from the moment the queen dies.
So the Ascension Council in this are kind of pro forma because he is the king the moment she dies, the moment the previous crown, either king or queen, dies.
This is really...
In the lineage of the Church of England and the Protestant and making sure that there is a Protestant that sits on the throne, sir?
Do I overstate that?
ben harnwell ▲ ● ▼
Well, Steve, this is the 40th time a monarch has been crowned in Westminster Abbey.
And before it was a Protestant liturgy, and it's definitely a liturgy as much as it's anything else.
It's a liturgy, it's a religious, it's a Christian religious service.
Before it was an Anglican liturgy with a few changes, but not so great many changes.
It was a Catholic liturgy.
The important thing I would suggest here to remember is that you're mentioning absolutely correctly that Charles was king the moment his mother, the late queen, died.
And the point about the coronation, I would suggest, in its historical context, isn't so much the literal Coronation, the pudding of the crown, the symbolic power of that is absolutely important.
It's the anointing that's behind it, that takes place behind the screen, shielded from the television cameras because of its intimate and private nature.
And that anointing...
It can only be understood, I would suggest, within the Judeo-Christian context by going back to the Old Testament, by going back to Samuel and 1 Chronicles.
Where Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anointed Solomon king.
Those are the words of the anthem that was being played during that anointment process.
That is the point about this coronation.
It's an anointing.
And the anointment is an explicitly religious, explicitly Christian motif.
It's a chrism, which of course Priests are anointed with chrism in the Catholic tradition when they're ordained priests.
We are all, as Catholics and Christians and Protestants as well, I think, anointed with chrism, either baptism or confirmation, depending on the liturgy, on the denomination.
But the chrism, the anointment, that's the word It's all related to the Greek origin of the word there.
It's where Christ comes from as well.
It's the same significance.
All of this is held up and exalted in that ceremony.
You're going to be talking a little later about the Christian nationalism aspect and the uniting of the Christian culture within the instruments of state.
I don't think it's better exemplified than within the English coronation liturgy that we saw today.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
And by the way, we've got some other clips we're going to play that I think people will be quite interested in.
I want to go back. We'll get more to the ceremony itself, but I want to go to this Politico story.
And this is why for everybody at the Board of Posse, we've got a lot to go through the day.
Biden's interview. We're going to break it down.
The attacks right now.
Actually, it's a big story about going after Moms for Liberty, tying Moms for Liberty to the John Birch Society to be a bircher.
Of course, the MAGA. One thing that happened last night on this Stephanie Rule exclusive interview, and you can see this where I put it up on Getter, and don't put it up yet on the screen.
We'll get to this. I don't want too much to credit.
But Biden essentially came out and said, About the debt ceiling and everything, it is Biden and his regime versus the MAGA extremists.
That would be you. As the creditors committee, it's game on now.
They've identified and they're trying to come up with a short-term interim solution that we're not going to agree with and we'll say why.
But Politico has got an incredible story called The Power Behind the Throne.
The Power Behind the Throne.
And in this, I actually lead in on the data where I put it up, and I want, if Denver can put this up on the screen now.
The British administrative state reports to the Crown, as it is from time immemorial, the true power in England.
They make the case, Ben, and you were kind of part of this, that you've got Parliament, but you have the British bureaucracy.
And it's immovable.
And there's many or more Crown designees that are part of that permanent bureaucracy than the handful and very small handful from Cabinet and subsecretaries that really control it.
And this is why Tony Blair and people have said from day one you can't get the British bureaucracy to move and that they're actually more loyal to the Crown and the permanent administrative state than they are to any what they call transitory political trends.
Your comments, give me a minute on that before we go to break.
ben harnwell ▲ ● ▼
Steve, it's this thing, I mean, if anyone who's watched Yes Minister or Yes Prime Minister of the old British sitcom from the 80s will know the essence of this debate.
I actually take a slightly different view from the Politico article.
In an ideal situation, I actually believe the monarchy is perhaps part of the solution over overcoming the stubbornness and immovability of the civil service, because the ministers that the civil servants are obliged to obey are ministers of the crown.
They exercise their power, their responsibility, their authority, their legal authority, as ministers of the crown, in whom lies the ultimate sovereign power.
We spoke about this indirectly, if you remember, Steve, when Boris Johnson resigned.
We spoke explicitly about him going to the Queen, handing back the seals of office.
So even the Prime Minister himself...
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Hang on for one second.
I want to get to all this. Particularly because President Trump said the number one enemy the country faces is the deep state in America.
All next in the boardroom.
ben harnwell ▲ ● ▼
You will ever be queen?
unidentified
No, I don't. No.
Why do you think that? I'd like to be a queen of people's hearts, in people's hearts.
But I don't see myself being queen of this country.
I don't think many people would want me to be queen.
Actually, when I say many people, I mean the establishment that I'm married into.
Because they've decided that I'm a non-starter.
Why do you think they've decided that?
Because I do things differently.
Because I don't go by a rule book.
Because I lead from the heart, not the head.
And albeit that's got me into trouble in my work, I understand that.
But someone's got to go out there and love people and show it.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
So, Ben Harnwell, that is that famous interview that exploded Over the battlefield that is the royal family many decades ago.
Tell us about that. It's certainly from an American's viewpoint, particularly I know a lot of people are not big on Charles, is that his wingman, his queen, did not quite live up to Diana.
Give us your assessment of all this.
ben harnwell ▲ ● ▼
Well, I think the country divides itself pretty evenly to two halves on this.
There's one camp that will still be firmly very sentimental towards the prince of the former, I forget her correct former title, Diana, the Diana Princess of Wales.
And the other half think that she was sort of manipulative, crazy.
And emotionally unstable, and she was damaging fundamentally to the long-term prospects of the monarchy.
I would probably fall into that second camp.
I don't know if I could give you an impartial reading of Diana.
But she is, and she will remain, the mother of the future king, William, eventually.
And I think will be warranted by posterity in history some respect because of that fact, if only because of that fact.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
I want to get back to the administrative state because we're going to get into a lot of the politics here that have broken just over the last 24 or 48 hours.
You can see now the outlines of what this campaign is going to be about.
And President Trump, let me reiterate.
President Trump has many times, even overnight, the administrative state, their legal aspect of it, they're trying to take him out through lawfare.
He's identified even more than the CCP, and I would argue the CCP is infiltrated, and you can see this in the situation of Miles Guo in the Justice Department, in Higginbotham and all of that, the depth of corruption and involvement by the CCP in the administrative state here.
Politico makes the argument That it's the crown, that the power behind the crown is the civil service BRC, the administrative state.
We know, and for all you guys who are James Bond fans and see all these movies, That is the administrative and deep state at work.
MI5, MI6, very close to the FBI, very close to the CIA. You've got the Five Eyes program, all of that.
This article says that, hey, they look at Parliament, and they've got great quotes from Tony Blair, all of them, saying that they couldn't make any changes.
In fact, they just turfed out I think one of the most prominent members of SUNAC's cabinet for quote-unquote bullying because the administrative state basically reported that, oh, he screamed at us, he said bad things to us, we weren't doing what he said, we weren't going to do what he said, and he got angry, and now he's gone.
They're not gone, he's gone.
Talk to me about the administrative state and the Crown, and this is, people go, well, these people have no power, it's just all performative.
It's not performative.
And I'm not saying they don't have, obviously, their constitutional monarch.
But the reality is, and anybody who watched the series The Crown saw the folks around them were hardwired into not just the British establishment, but to the British civil service and administrative state and deep state, sir. Steve, it's true to a certain extent.
ben harnwell ▲ ● ▼
But for me, the problem with the British deep state establishment isn't so much the fact that you have all these Sir Humphreys walking in lockstep.
It's frustrating the ability of an elected government to fulfil its manifested commitments.
The problem is that, you know, since Margaret Thatcher, I don't think this country of either political party, we've had a prime minister with the stones to face down the civil service.
It was said of Margaret Thatcher that she couldn't meet an institution wanting to hit it with her handbag.
Great! Donald Trump was a bit like that as well.
He did his own thing.
Neither Thatcher nor Donald Trump often took advice.
They did their own thing. But the point was that even when they were wrong, they were doing what they actually wanted to do and not that sort of blancmange-like blob.
That surrounds elected office, insisting that its way is the best.
No, Steve, the problem with the British establishment is that we need a prime minister who has a spine and is willing to face down the civil service and is willing to sack people if they frustrate an elected will.
And I would say this, not only with a pseudo-conservative government like the one we have at the moment, but even the Labour Party.
Which will probably win the next election, Keir Starmer.
What we cannot have, I think it's disgraceful, is a situation like you were mentioning with Dominic Raab, the Deputy Prime Minister, who was forced out because he bullied civil servants.
You know, that's just, it's disgusting.
It really is appalling. I mean, I'm not very fond of the guy himself.
From all accounts, he is a bully.
But good, you know, he's a bully elected by the people to fulfil an agenda called Manifesto Commitments.
Nobody elected civil servants.
If they don't like it, They should quit the civil service and either go and work for an NGO or one of the vast organisations within the apparatus of what they call civil society, which leeches off the public teat anyway in terms of funding and financing, or perish the thought.
They could go out and get a private sector job and work harder, longer hours, get some sort of grease on their hands.
Like ordinary, regular people.
And then they'd be very welcome to their political opinions.
But I think it's objectionable that people without any electoral mandate can frustrate the will of a government, even when the government is wrong.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
I want to tie this back to domestic politics and still the power of the British establishment.
If you've traveled around the world on business or if you've lived in other countries on business, The United States, you know, we're a colony of the British Empire.
We're still a little provincial.
D.C. is not like the big center of international thought, even New York.
New York has tons of hedge fund guys and it's the global capital, particularly of finance.
But London is much more of the global city because you still have everybody from the empire and everybody from Western Europe is there.
That's why Ron DeSantis, and Ron DeSantis today, they're leaking that he was going to do an exploratory committee.
Now they're saying he's going to full bore, and by June, he's going to be all in.
That's breaking, I think, on Axis and a couple of sites today, that what they leaked over the last couple of days of the exploratory committee is out.
He's going to full bore. I can't emphasize enough that The lack of momentum among the business community now about his flop in the UK. This meeting he went over there and had where he met the heads of what's called the City of London,
which is their Wall Street, and British industry, and the consulting class, the McKinsey's, the Booz Allen's, all the heads, the proper heads, 50 to 100 people, where he absolutely flopped.
And that's had a chilling effect on certain of his donors.
Other donors Are just so hard in, and what they've seen on Trump, and particularly Trump's momentum in this primary, that they're more than ever in back of DeSantis.
And quite frankly, I think his head is now he's going to go do it.
And this shows you that this is going to be a huge throwdown.
This primary is essentially over, but DeSantis, the money in back of DeSantis, there's still a Never Trump movement.
And one of the reasons there's a massive Never Trump movement is Donald J. Trump, like Thatcher, took on, when you say the establishment, he took on the administrative state.
And he's designated, he said now, and if you look at his even truths over the last overnight about Bill Barr and this, he has laid down that they are the biggest enemy of the people, even more so than the Chinese Communist Party, and that he is going to take it on and dismantle it.
For all the audience who are fervent believers in President Trump and part of the Trump movement, You have to understand it's game on now.
One side's going to win this, and one side's going to lose this.
And when I say win or lose, I just don't mean at the ballot box.
Because... As I told President Trump, when you win the third time and take your second term, every day against this administrative state is going to be Stalingrad.
They're going to dig in like nothing else.
So anybody out there in the audience that just thinks, you know, he can get by the primary.
The next five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten years, Are going to be a struggle.
I'd love to give you a message of, we got the sunlit uplands right here, and all we got to do is win Iowa and New Hampshire, and that's all going to be great.
Then he's going to go win, you know, win 276 electoral votes in November of 2024, and that's going to be fine now.
And one of the ways you can tell that is Joe Biden throwing down last night.
Joe Biden didn't identify Trump as the problem, didn't identify the Republican Party as a problem, didn't identify.
He identified the MAGA Republicans, the MAGA extremists.
That would be you. They are there to thwart.
President Trump, but in thwarting President Trump, they understand what President Trump represents now, and that is a mass movement of populist nationalism who has the administrative state in their gun sights.
So it is game on.
I'm going to hold Ben quickly through the break.
I want to update on Ukraine.
We've got a lot to go through today.
I'm going to get to it. We're going to play a bunch of clips.
I'm going to talk about this interview last night.
Also, they put the Moms for Liberty.
They understand the parental rights movement.
They're tripling down on the grooming.
They're tripling down on the radical sexual ideology in the schools.
They're going to back the radical activist librarians and the activist teachers.
Game on! 2024 coming into full high relief here this morning in the War Room.

Here's your host, Stephen K. Babb.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Is he fit to be President of the United States?
william barr ▲ ● ▼
Is Donald Trump fit to be president?
This is the way I'll answer that, Geraldo.
Which is, if you believe in his policies, what he's advertising is his policies, he's the last person who could actually execute them and achieve them.
He does not have the discipline.
He does not have the ability for strategic thinking and linear thinking or setting priorities or how to get things done in the system.
It is a horror show when he's left to his own devices.
And so you may want his policies.
But Trump will not deliver Trump policies.
He will deliver chaos and if anything lead to a backlash that will set his policies much further back than they otherwise would be.
kari lake ▲ ● ▼
As a mother from Arizona, we've sent $170 billion to Ukraine.
While we have a wide open border and we have drug cartels running our state.
We can't afford to do that anymore.
We need to invest in America.
And I believe that the first way out of this war to bring the peacemakers in, and I understand that Prime Minister Orban has offered up this beautiful city for peace talks.
The only way to stop that war is to turn off the money to it.
And I believe that in America we need to turn off the money to this war and bring together Zelensky and Putin.
Sit them down here in this beautiful country, in this beautiful city, and sit them at a table and say, come to peace.
We need peace in this world.
The mothers demand peace for our children.
unidentified
I thank you so much, Hungary, for inviting me.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
She goes over to Europe and they're blowing heads up.
She's in London right now and she's going to be on Nigel's show and Piers Morgan.
We're going to get more of that. Maybe we can try to get Carrie on here.
Ben Hornwell, I want to go back to the politics of all this and I want to ask you about Ukraine.
But I'd like your thoughts about this war against the administrative state because one of the reasons that The UK punches way above their weight.
People have to understand this around the world.
Way above their weight. Way above their weight.
It's a quite powerful nation.
Don't look at his GDP. It's quite powerful, just institutionally, culturally, where it's dialed in throughout the world, what they've done for centuries.
And their bureaucracy and civil servants is even as bad or not worse as ours is being dug in and also being radicalized.
And you couldn't, you know, you've not really had a prime minister except for Thatcher And she went after him hard.
And eventually they got her.
Eventually they got her.
It wasn't John Majors. It was the pencil necks in the Tory party because they didn't want to take it anymore.
Right? And most of them sided with the administrative state.
They finally eventually got her after a decade or so.
Give us your thoughts, Ben.
ben harnwell ▲ ● ▼
Well, Steve, you're absolutely right.
I mean, the UK, which is a very powerful nation, is somewhat mismanaged by its civil service.
The parallel which I am I see you drawing as we've been talking about this over the last half hour between United States and the UK is I think actually the US, specifically Donald Trump, seems to be slightly ahead of the game now with respect to the British Conservative Party and specifically I'm talking about probably the only announcement that he's made since the 2016 A cycle that really has been engaged and committed to a second mandate,
a second administration, or third presidential election victory, whichever way you want to look at it.
And that's his thinking out loud that he might revisit Schedule F, which was an executive order he brought in I think towards the close of his first administration, rescinded by Joe Biden.
This Schedule F would technically give the president the right to dismiss up to around, well, technically up to two million, I think, federal employees.
But more realistically, I think the figure is conventionally held to be around 50,000.
Now, of course, it's not even remotely necessary to sack 50,000 civil servants who are blocking the agenda of an elected government.
But it's only to start sacking a few and let the rest realise that they're in exactly the same vulnerable position.
Because if it's one thing, I mean, if you divide people into two categories, one is the entrepreneurial category and the other is the civil service category.
Entrepreneurs are excited by challenges, by the opportunity to make fortunes.
Civil servants are not.
They're excited by the ability of having a job for life, fundamentally.
They loathe instability and they embrace Sort of 40 years in the same desk job.
That's what gets these people ticking.
And the idea of losing that privilege will terrify them.
So this, I think, this idea of bringing back Schedule F, something that we don't have really in the UK that I mentioned, we should have it a few moments or so ago, could actually make a heck of a difference to the second Trump administration.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Oh, no. That's what the...
Yeah. This is what the fight's about.
Right now, this is why we're training, I should say, curating the 4,000 that hit the beach right away, the 4,000 political appointees that do not have to be confirmed by the Senate.
That's the key. Cash for telling these guys with Schedule F, 100%, they're going to be blowing out, you know, I believe more than 50,000.
That's what Trump's going to war with the administrative state, and they know that.
This gets back to what happened at J6 the other day.
This goes back to Jack Smith and Merrick Garland.
This goes back to the deal.
They had an immunity deal last night with these, I don't know, the Trump electors right down in Georgia.
The administrative state and their deep state elements are after Trump.
Trump calls them right out and says, no person in American history and any authority has ever said that the administrative state and the deep state is the enemy of the people and I'm going to take it apart.
I mean, I highlighted that CPAC speech and they went absolutely bananas that some adviser to the president in the White House would say that.
And clearly we did not get enough done in the first term that he's going to get done in the second term.
And this is why when you look at what is it?
Is it Project Hurricane or Operation Hurricane?
You see a crossfire hurricane, which was MI6, MI5, working with the CIA and the FBI to essentially stop Trump.
That's in 16.
They're much more detailed and much more focused on it today, but Trump's coming for them in a big way in that part of the British establishment and the reports to the Crown.
I remember Charles is this radical You know, he's a climate change guy because he's not the sharp, he's not the brightest bulb you're going to, you know, in the light fixture.
I want to go, I want to get your thoughts on Ukraine because Carrie Lake, for a person of that political stature, who's essentially the real governor of Arizona, And I know it will be on the shortlist of potential vice presidential candidates for President Trump.
And she could go and win a Senate seat in Arizona right now.
For her to go to Hungary, Budapest, and give a speech where she ends the speech with, you have to defund the Ukraine war, that's how we get people to the peace table, is shocking.
And they're in meltdown over there.
They're in absolute meltdown over there.
Give us your thoughts on that and where we stand, because I think the Russian military hit Kiev today with phosphorus bombs.
I mean, they're getting ready. The spring offensive already, there's a big story on BBC of Maripol at the steelworks of the last Ukrainians that held out.
It's pretty, pretty awful, pretty bloody.
You got Bakhmut with the mercenaries.
The Wagner group is sitting there going, we can't take the city.
We can't cut off the road of life, they call it.
The Russian military is going to come in here.
And he, of course, he's blaming the Russian big army.
It's nasty and it's going to get a lot nastier in the Ukraine until somebody cuts the money off and forces them to the negotiating table.
Many more Ukrainians are going to die in this.
That's just how many more Ukrainian cities are going to be leveled in this.
ben harnwell ▲ ● ▼
Ben Harnwell. Well, I think what Carrie Lake did in Hungary was, you know, we can only be applauded.
It's what we've been saying here on the war since the beginning of the war.
That this war is going to end fundamentally when the United States says it's not going to financially support the Ukrainian effort any longer.
And until that happens, until Joe Biden calls it a day with fighting for Ukraine's liberty down to the last Ukrainian, Carrie Lake is absolutely right.
She's right here. Fundamentally, I mean, it's in the best interests of the US taxpayer.
But beyond that, on the humanitarian issue, it's in the best interests of the ordinary Ukrainian who has very little voice in this as well.
But if you think about it, Steve, if you were an ordinary Ukrainian, And you weren't one of the millions that fled to the border at the very outset of the war.
They say not fleeing Putin, but fleeing the call-up that was taking place in Ukraine.
You would be hoping that that external pressure would come around and gently encourage your government.
And to sit down and negotiate peace with the international community in the hope, not unreasonable hope, that the international community at those negotiations will put a lot of pressure on Russia to obtain the best deal for Ukraine.
What you're not going to want to see is Biden do a quick press release, do a bit of virtue signalling, and you're left seeing that if you're a fighting age, your family, your male members of your family, the male members of your friends, and fundamentally, ultimately, you yourself will be called up to go through the meat grinder.
Nobody in Ukraine wants this.
They want a good deal for Ukraine, obviously.
But I think Carrie Lake, what she did there, is in the best interest of the American taxpayer, and I repeat, the best interests of the Ukrainian working guy.
And now it's absolutely important to remember that.

Thank you, sir. How long is the Bill Barr thing?
Maybe I'll open with Bill Barr.
Here's where I'm going to open with Bill Barr. I'll tell you, I'll take this.
Go ahead and play Bill Barr as we go out, and then I'm going to come back after a short commercial.
I want you to hear Bill Barr again.
Okay, that would be playing the clip, not the out music.
Anyway, stop. Don't do it.
Don't do it. We blew it.
Take a deep breath there, but it's good.
Let me just take the... Let's go to commercial break, and I'll play Barr coming back out.
And the reason I want to play Bar again, I want to get you not more fired up.
I want you to understand what the play is here.
The last readout of these folks is Trumpism without Trump.
That's all a lie. Oh, it's his policies.
Yeah, his policies. Yeah, we're going to give you the policies, but you can't have Trump.
Trump can't really execute.
He's gone as far as he can go. You need others.
You need Chris Christie or you need Vivek or you need Asa.
We'll talk about that next in the war room.

Really? Did you know Ron DeSantis backed deep cuts to Social Security and Medicare?
Ron DeSantis? Yeah.
He voted to cut Social Security or Medicare not once, not twice, but three times.
DeSantis even tried to raise the retirement age to 70.
I thought DeSantis was one of the good ones, but he's just another career politician.
America needs Trump.

Is he fit to be president of the United States?
william barr ▲ ● ▼
Is Donald Trump fit to be president?
This is the way I'll answer that, Geraldo.
Which is, if you believe in his policies, what he's advertising is his policies, he's the last person who could actually execute them and achieve them.
He does not have the discipline.
He does not have the ability for strategic thinking and linear thinking or setting priorities or how to get things done in the system.
It is a horror show when he's left to his own devices.
And so you may want his policies.
But Trump will not deliver Trump policies.
He will deliver chaos and, if anything, lead to a backlash that will set his policies much further back than they otherwise would be.

The last thing this country needs, after all we've been through, is a manufactured crisis.
And that's what this is, a manufactured crisis.
And that's what it is from beginning to end.
It's a manufacturing crisis driven by the MAGA Republicans in the Congress.
Look, instead, we should be debating a vision of our country's future.
Their vision versus our vision.
unidentified
Totally legitimate. Totally legitimate.
joe biden ▲ ● ▼
And it's legitimate that the American people said we like their vision better than ours.
But debate the vision.
And whether or not we're going to take our country backward, and certainly not whether or not we're going to default on our debt.
And I remind you, And under the previous president, Republicans voted three times to increase the debt limit.
Three times. No one's ever not voted to increase the debt limit.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Okay. You are front and center, the audience.
I told you this would happen.
I promised you this would happen.
And now it's happening.
The debate is that guy right there is the illegitimate head of the regime currently occupying 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue who understands they stole this.
They got that. They're not stupid.
And it's you. It's him versus two visions.
He says, why are we talking about vision? We're talking about the vision, but you can't take away the main thing that keeps this entire apparatus Going forward.
Now it's time for the adults, and the Wall Street Journal has a huge piece up right now that Biden's got a tough month in front of him because of the invasion on the southern border and the debt crisis.
Both of those make his month tough because of you.
That's all the reporting of Michael Yan and Ben Burkwam and Oscar Blue Ramirez and, you know, Todd Benzman in months and months and now years of covering that so that you would be informed and be prepared and make sure that, you know, everybody in the Republican Party now knows this, this invasion of what they've done to our country, coupled with what they've done to the debt ceiling.
They're going to try to talk about everything except what's important.
And here's what's important.
We can't let Leviathan, the administrative state, these radical Democrats in the combination with the oligarchs in Silicon Valley and these lords of Wall Street to take our country and to destroy our country, destroy the sovereignty of our country, destroy American citizens.
We can't. And we've got leverage.
And they know we have leverage.
And that's why they hate you. And they do hate you.
We have leverage, and we're going to use that leverage.
Right now, they're worming.
I'm telling you, it's 24-7.
right now what they're doing is they're trying to get an extension.
They're trying to get just a tiny, just give me a tiny, a tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny bump to the debt ceiling.
Get us past June because, you know, the cash ain't there from the taxes because of our The answer is no.
In fact, that's the short answer.
The long answer, which I can't use on a family show, but I'll give you close to this, hell no.
We're not budging an inch.
You're not getting one piece of oxygen here.
Not one piece of oxygen.
And he says in the Stephanie Rule thing, you know, Kevin McCarthy's a good man, Kevin McCarthy's an honest man, but he's captured by these 15 radicals and the ultra-maga extremists.
If you think that's the worst thing you're going to be called over the next couple of months, you've got another thing coming.
This is why they're trying to take Trump out, because they understand that in back of Trump now is a true movement.
And this is what Bill Barr and Vivek and all these guys, you're going to keep hearing it over and over again, National Review saying, yeah, yeah, you know, the policies, Trump's got some good policies.
Yeah, yeah, those policies, they got some, you know, some of those policies are really good.
But Trump's not the guy, actually, he's gone as far as he can.
Trump can't execute. That's the problem.
We want those policies.
And all we want you to do is have, you know, be smart.
Let's get a younger guy.
Let's get somebody who's more organized.
unidentified
To hell with you.

Right now, there is no Trump's policies without Trump.
When he walked into that courtroom, I say he looked like a Viking chieftain.
That's what you need right now.
You need a savage.
Okay? We need a savage.
Because we're not playing beanbag with these people.
You've seen what they're prepared to do from sending the FBI to roll up The folks saying rosaries, to send a letter to the folks in Arizona, if you do a canvas, we're going to put you in jail.
They use any part of the administrative state to crush you financially, to destroy your family, to put you in prison, to do all of it.
So they can destroy the sovereignty of the greatest republic in the history of mankind.
Remember, you're now at the table.
Did we get 100 seats?
No. Did we get 50 seats?
No. We got what we got.
And now it's time for you to dig in because we're about to see on a test of wills who's tougher.
Are we tougher or are they tougher?
And I hear a lot, oh, we've got to go do this, we've got to be doing this.
I've got all that. I hear it.
Okay, this is what's important for this moment.
Don't give me, I'm going to go take this, and we're going to go do this, and we've got to do this, we've got to do that.
Get focused, because we're in it now.
And they're coming, and they're going to come hard.
Very, very, very hard.
