Because we're going medieval on these people. | |
I got a free shot on all these networks lying about the people. | ||
The people have had a belly full of it. | ||
I know you don't like hearing that. | ||
I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
It's going to happen. | ||
And where do people like that go to share the big lie? | ||

unidentified
|
Fox News. | |
Not one second! | ||
unidentified
|
Look at, thank you very much, Fox does suck. | |
And let me tell you why it sucks. | ||
Charlie Kirk and the Turning Point team have come from nowhere. | ||
And now we heard last week that Fox is not going to cover them, they're too activist, etc. | ||
What other gathering in our country over the last couple of years has had the kind of speakers you guys have had? | ||
Look at this, look at this! | ||
From leaders in the House, you got Boebert, MTG, Matt Gaetz, Josh Hawley in the Senate, J.D. | ||
Vance, Ted Cruz. | ||
You got every political, you got every guy running for the presidency that's serious. | ||
Donald Trump comes here and gives an hour and a half primetime speech that is It's not a rally speech. | ||
unidentified
|
It's got gravitas. | |
He talks about what he's going to do. | ||
Not one second. | ||
Not one second on Fox News. | ||

You're the vanguard of a revolution. | |
It takes 4,000 political appointees in the second Trump, third Trump victory, second Trump term, 3,000, non-Senate confirmed. | ||
We have, what, 6,000 or 8,000 here. | ||
You are the cadre that is going to inform this government. | ||
You're going to take over this government. | ||
unidentified
|
You're going to take over the administrative state. | |
That's why old man Murdoch doesn't want to show it. | ||
He understands you're about action, enough talk! | ||
Because the FBI is spending their time calling you guys domestic terrorists. | ||
That day is over. | ||
Donald Trump said it, and he said it best. | ||
unidentified
|
It's not the CCP, it's not the KGB, it's not the mullahs. | |
The number one enemy of this country of freedom and liberty is the administrative in the deep state. | ||
And on the afternoon... They have to understand something. | ||
We're gonna hit you with a blowtorch. | ||
unidentified
|
Okay? | |
No more games. | ||
We're gonna hit you with a blowtorch. | ||
That blowtorch, we're gonna not just deconstruct it, we're gonna rip it apart. | ||
We're not just gonna change policy, we're gonna start by bottom-blowing personnel. | ||
And for every person in there, every person in there today, you've got time enough to come forward as a whistleblower. | ||
Talk about what happened to the children. | ||
Talk about what happened on the assassinations. | ||
Talk about taking the liberties of your fellow citizens. | ||
If you don't come forward by high noon on the 20th of January, you're guilty! | ||

Donald Trump is our instrument for righteous ignition. | ||
unidentified

And it's not going to be Biden. | |
The sound of freedom is on the afternoon, 500 and what? | ||
44 days from now or 584 days from now in the afternoon of the 20th of January in the year of our Lord 2025, when Donald Trump takes his hand off the King James Bible. | ||
his hand off the King James Bible. | ||
We're going into every hour. | ||
We're going to CIA, the FBI, the DNI, the SCIA, all of them. | ||
And we're going to release every single person that either trafficked people or looked the other way to traffic people. | ||
unidentified
|
We're going to put it all out for the American people. | |
All of it. Monday, 17 July in the year of our Lord 2025. | ||
Thank you. | ||
Got a little feedback here, guys, so we just got to take it. | ||
We're in the studios of Real America's Voice. | ||
I want to thank all the Real America's Voice team, and particularly for the weekend, they did an incredible job. | ||
Ed Henry and the team, just non-stop coverage over at Turning Point USA. | ||
The Atcon, a compliment to Charlie Kirk, his entire team at Turning Point. | ||
Just absolutely extraordinary. | ||
I've never seen a lineup like that of speakers, of breakout sessions, of all of it. | ||
We're going to get into the for the next two hours to go through a lot what went on because this was really the jumping off point, not just for the 2024 campaign, but really for the takeover of the United States government by the populist nationalist movement. | ||
We laid out kind of a game plan there. | ||
Who backed it up today? | ||
The New York Times. | ||
Jonathan Swan, Maggie Haberman, Charlie Savage, three of their biggest hitters, has a front page story that's absolutely incredible. | ||
It's about President Trump's efforts with Russ Vought, The Heritage, Johnny McEntee, other people. | ||
We had Johnny McEntee and James Bacon on the show live from the Real America's Voice War Room booth on Saturday morning. | ||
Johnny McEntee, the former, Johnny was head of personnel, Trump's former body man, head of personnel at the White House in the last, I think, year, year and a half of the administration. | ||
and James Bacon from Over Heritage to walk through the effort to make sure that we have a team that hits the deck plates running. | ||
There you saw it and I want to thank the War Room production team and also the Real America Voice team in Denver and Palm Beach for putting that together. | ||
Really great compilation of my speech yesterday. | ||
And I told Charlie afterwards, just expense me, I think the mic cost $500 but it had to be a mic drop at the end of it. | ||
Couldn't think of any other way to exit the stage. | ||
A lot going on here, and I want to go down and break down that speech. | ||
In the first block, we've got Libby Emmons. | ||
She's from Human Events. | ||
Jack Posobiec's wingman over there. | ||
She's just been doing an extraordinary job of coverage. | ||
She's going to join us here in the first hour. | ||
We're supposed to have Carrie Lake. | ||
In for the second hour is my wingman with Caroline Wren, but as most of the folks on the East Coast know, the planes have been, it's been very tough to get the planes in and out of different cities, Charlotte, Nashville, the East Coast, etc. | ||
So I think Kerry is running late and may not make it. | ||
We'll have Caroline Wren. | ||
Let me go back to that speech. | ||
So here's what the lay down is, is that we have three component pieces, as I've talked about before, kind of the war path. | ||
And the three component pieces are one, a primary, two, a general election, and three, then how do you actually govern? | ||
Because it keeps saying Trump has no electability. | ||
And, you know, Ron DeSantis is on Howard Kerch yesterday saying, oh, you know, Trump didn't do anything his first term. | ||
You know, I accomplish everything. | ||
Trump can't do anything. | ||
He's, you know, incompetent, ineffective. | ||
He had Maria Bartiromo actually jumped on President Trump. | ||
I say, well, you didn't drain the swamp, right? | ||
So that's where the Murdoch apparatus is going. | ||
Let's go back and let's break them down. | ||
Number one. | ||
We've got a term, and I want this term to kind of be embraced by people, because I think it makes a lot of sense. | ||
Fox Republicans. | ||
No longer rhinos. | ||
There's something more dangerous than a rhino. | ||
That's a Fox Republican. | ||
A Fox Republican is, by definition, a globalist. | ||
And why? | ||
The Murdoch family, who are not Americans, remember this, they're Australian and English, Not that we don't love folks in the commonwealth, etc., but bottom line is we fought a revolution to break ourselves off from the English, not to be governed by them. | ||
Fox News is nothing but a neoliberal, neocon channel. | ||
They absolutely continue to fight the populist nationalist movement. | ||
If you see the impact the populist nationalist movement is having, go to the Hill newspaper this morning, really the dominant paper on Capitol Hill. | ||
The Hill has a massive headline. | ||
If my team can eventually get that up. | ||
I've got it up on Getter. | ||
And what does it say? | ||
Populist nationalists or populist conservatives rattle the GOP Senate. | ||
So the rhinos in the GOP Senate totally rattled by you folks. | ||
And that was what was at Atcon yesterday. | ||
Atcon was really a populist nationalist gathering with Charlie Kirk and the Turning Point team. | ||
6,000 to 8,000 folks. | ||
All activists. | ||
Breakout sessions about how we win elections. | ||
How do you drive your social media? | ||
How do you control narrative? | ||
So when you get back to these component pieces, as Tucker Carlson said the other day, everything's about narrative control. | ||
One of the things that the Murdochs have been experts in is narrative control. | ||
And so here's what they have. | ||
We have a base in this Republican Party. | ||
The mainstream of the Republican Party is really 80% Populist nationalists. | ||
You have 80% populist nationalists and what they've done from the beginning is basically have you elect neoliberal, neocon politicians. | ||
And so you get neoliberal, neocon policies. | ||
Don't believe me? | ||
Look at the omnibus bill. | ||
Look at McCarthy's debt ceiling collapse. | ||
All of it is to feed the neoliberal, neocon, uniparty that essentially controls this country politically. | ||
What controls this country operationally Is the is the Leviathan of the administrative or deep state that administrative state being essentially two and a half million? | ||
I think government employees couple million folks in the military, but particularly what nobody focuses on the 16 to 18 million contractors. | ||
So the federal government, the $6.8 trillion budget that we're, you know, every year going to put up, print $2 to $3 trillion over the Federal Reserve. | ||
And remember, McCarthy's given the runway to Mitch McConnell and to Biden to spend this into oblivion. | ||
You've got, what, spending of, I don't know, $14 or $15 trillion has been approved Four to five trillion dollars of deficits are going to be just printed by the Federal Reserve, which is the ATM, the ATM for the administrative state. | ||
That is what we're talking about breaking apart and shattering. | ||
The New York Times has got it all laid out, says President Trump and his allies are working on a plan. | ||
To really bring more power back to the White House, more power back to the Oval Office, to take control of the government. | ||
President Trump on Maria Bartiromo pretty bluntly said, hey look, I didn't realize how deep this problem was. | ||
I didn't realize how even if I put people in, they were going to counter my efforts. | ||
And the New York Times, you got it up right there, it's got this incredible article, the Hill newspaper today talking about the populist nationalist movement. | ||
So get back to the three points. | ||
We had the primary and the Murdoch's constantly, you know, Ron DeSantis, who's quite frankly a tragic figure. | ||
Ron DeSantis thought by, you know, just going pure Fox News for two years, you know, getting all these softball town halls and getting all these kind of softball interviews that because of the narrative control by the Murdoch's, by the corrupt foreign element of the Murdoch family. | ||
Remember old man Murdoch's out in Silicon. | ||
He's out in Sun Valley right now. | ||
With the other billionaires in Davos West, right, concocting everything they're doing out there to control the people of the United States. | ||
While the family, they're not in Myrtle Beach, they're not in Virginia Beach, they're not in Daytona Beach, they're not in Imperial Beach, they're not in some state park or national park with a couple of RVs traveling around the country. | ||
No, they're on their $150 million yachts, three or four of them. | ||
On the Amalfi Coast, where the globalist jet set hang in the summer. | ||
They're there and they even kicked one of the kids out. | ||
I think James is not even invited because he leaks so much in this TV series Succession. | ||
So if you want to see what the Murdochs think, you just watch that show. | ||
You see, they just think you're a bunch of rabble. | ||
They can control controlled candidates, etc. | ||
I'm gonna have a lot to say to the, break down the speech, gonna break down where this movement's going, gonna break down not just as we get through the primary and consolidate around President Trump, how we win the general election in a massive landslide, but then take control of the administrative deep state and eventually destroy it. | ||
Short commercial break, we're live from the Palm Beach headquarters of Real America's Voice. | ||
We're gonna be back in a moment. | ||
unidentified
|
Right to the end, just watch and see It's all started, everything's begun And you are over Cause we're taking down the CCP Spread the word all through Hong Kong We will fight till they're all gone We rejoice when there's no more Let's take down the CCP Host Stephen K. Bann | |
So Johnny, okay, you heard that? | ||
If you guys want to serve, you've got to get engaged now. | ||
You've got to be involved now, because one of the big parts of this is networking. | ||
It's not just training people up, but those networks that we do with grassroots organizations, with other organizations. | ||
Walk through, tell me what the plan is. | ||
unidentified
|
So we're collecting resumes. | |
We're getting as much information as we can now to save the transition time on the back end. | ||
As you know, when a president wins or president-elect wins, things happen very quickly, and you have a short amount of time to staff an entire administration. | ||
It's also looking beyond the 4,000 and what we can do with the bureaucracy itself. | ||
So we're thinking of creative policy things as well that will integrate with this. | ||
Well, hold it. | ||
When we talk about that, let's talk about schedule. | ||
Is there going to be a plan in place to start to take apart the administrative state? | ||
unidentified
|
There has to be, and yes, there will be. | |
The next president, if President Trump gets back in there, he needs to reorient the government in a way that hasn't been seen since Franklin Roosevelt did it with the New Deal. | ||
We need to gut these agencies. | ||
We need to start from scratch. | ||
We need to make a new government, essentially, because the one that we have now doesn't work for conservatives. | ||
It wasn't made for us. | ||
It's built against us. | ||
So we have to go back to the drawing board with these agencies. | ||
Okay. | ||
Welcome back. | ||
I want to pull if the, if the team could put that New York times article up because the New York times, this broke this morning in the New York times, they've been working on this. | ||
Remember Swan Haberman and Charlie Savage, three of their best. | ||
They've been, this is the third, I think, in a series on this about Trump's historic effort to take on the administrative and deep state. | ||
So this is just not. | ||
Campaign rhetoric. | ||
This is just not Steve Bannon up there being a wild man screaming into a microphone at Atcon. | ||
This is a very well thought through and you got a very deep bench team working this. | ||
Who you saw in that cut right there and somebody you're going to see a lot more of on The War Room, we've had James Bacon on a number of times. | ||
He's actually the operational guy at this Heritage Projects that's pulling in Russ Vought. | ||
If you read the article, Russ Vought's quoted, the heritage people are quoted. | ||
Johnny McEntee, the first guy, a lot of guys don't know Johnny. | ||
Johnny's one of the most important people in the Trump world. | ||
He was the body man, and this is what every young person out there, just, you know, focus on this. | ||
When I first took over the campaign, Johnny had been the body man for Trump, I think, for almost a year, starting back in 2015. | ||
He just volunteered. | ||
And when I say body man, I mean he's the guy traveling with President Trump, then candidate Trump, every day, all day, making sure all the little things are done before he goes on stage, before he takes a, uh... | ||
Before he does a TV interview. | ||
It's a high-pressure job because, you know, President Trump's very demanding as he should be. | ||
Johnny was a star quarterback at the University of Connecticut. | ||
Johnny then took a short hiatus from the White House. | ||
He came in and was the body man in the White House. | ||
His office was right off the Oval Office. | ||
It was the office closest to the President. | ||
Johnny took a short break, went into private sector, and then came back. | ||
When he came back, he goes from body man to head of White House personnel, the personnel office. | ||
People know personnel is policy. | ||
In fact, what President Trump said to Maria Bartiromo, he said, Hey, I really didn't know. | ||
You know, I'm a business guy. | ||
I didn't really know D.C. | ||
I didn't spend a lot of time there. | ||
I really didn't know the structure of things. | ||
Johnny was personnel, so that last year, 18 months of the Trump administration, the first term, you saw a totally different sea change as you got better and better and better, higher quality people in there. | ||
Quite frankly, more MAGA people, less of the New York kind of progressive wing that they had in the White House at the beginning, and certainly the RINO wing or the Fox Republicans, as I call them. | ||
Right now, this is why this is a three-phase movement. | ||
You have the primary, and right now the Murdochs are going to try to throw up everything. | ||
Tim Scott's going to have his moment, and Glenn Youngkin's going to have his moment, and Brian Kemp's going to have his moment. | ||
They're going to do everything to try to thwart, knowing they can't beat Trump, to try to chop block him, or try to get a thousand cuts and start to bleed him out. | ||
Then the general election, I don't believe it will be Biden. | ||
I think even the Democrats realize the pervert That sitting there sniffing little girls in Lithuania is not, you know, it's just a terrible image internationally. | ||
And there's something just not right with the guy. | ||
The whole family's like a pack of feral dogs. | ||
I think they're wearing out their welcome quickly. | ||
I think they'll be transitioning out either Newsome or Michelle Obama or somebody. | ||
So, in a general election, a brutal general election, a tough fight, and then we get, but the key thing is to get, hit the deck plates running immediately after The victory in November of 2024 and I realize we got a lot to do a lot of wood to chop to make sure we get that victory in particularly an overwhelming victory where we take the house where we keep the house and take the Senate against everything Mitch McConnell is doing you know pick up seats in Arizona pick up seats in | ||
in uh... montana pickup seats in in ohio and in west virginia of course we're gonna have a uh... a trend of skaggs on today who's actually announced was on stage running against mit romney he's already challenged mit romney in utah so uh... | ||
But once you hit there, you've got to hit with a force. | ||
And what I said, hey, we're going to go through, we're going to declassify, we're going to go to the assassination files, we're going to go. | ||
All of this classified information is to keep it from the American people. | ||
It's not to keep it from the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
Hell, the Chinese Communist Party knows this stuff, and they're already infiltrated all into the government. | ||
The biggest reason they have this classification is because to keep the information from you. | ||
And this is what President Trump's going to do. | ||
We're going to go in with a massive force To take down the administrative state. | ||
And the administrative state has control by three things. | ||
They have control by people and billets. | ||
They have control by money, right? | ||
They get this massive federal budget which they can spend. | ||
And they also have it because of information. | ||
The three sources of control are people, money, and information. | ||
And we're going to cut the money off. | ||
We're going to blow out billets, not just fire people. | ||
We're going to take down billets. | ||
And the key that picks a lock that the New York Times still has not picked up on yet is just not the permanent bureaucracy of the $2.5 million. | ||
The contractors of the $16 to $18 million, this is what really runs this massive operation that costs you $6.5 trillion a year. | ||
We're going after the contractors, right? | ||
We're going to radically, radically downscale. | ||
You know, this is the thing about Fox Republicans and RINOs. | ||
They've yammered about this. | ||
Oh, we want limited government. | ||
We want this. | ||
We want to yammer about it. | ||
They're yammering all the time. | ||
Want to hold a hearing. | ||
Want to send a really a stern letter. | ||
We're going to send a stern letter. | ||
No, here's what we're going to do. | ||
Instead of Chris Wray coming up and lying, instead of Chris Wray coming up and obfuscating, instead of Chris Wray coming up and saying, well, we're going to look into that or I can't talk to the investigation. | ||
We're just going to release it all. | ||
Just release all the information. | ||
Let the American people judge about Chris Wray. | ||
So a lot to go through on this. | ||
We're going to talk more about it for the next two hours. | ||
Carolyn Wren is going to join me, but I've got Jack Posobiec's boss. | ||
I know he's got a boss in real life, Mrs. Posobiec. | ||
So in real life he's got a boss, but he also has a boss In his professional life, I'm glad to hear. | ||
Libby Evans from Post Millennial and from Human Events, you joined us. | ||
First off, give me your sense, Libby. | ||
You covered it wall to wall. | ||
This conference is, I think, the most important conference in the last two years of who had brought together of the personalities on the stage, but also the breakout sessions, and most important, the audience. | ||
I mean, these are 6,000 to 8,000 hardcore activists. | ||
Give us your assessment of what we saw over the weekend. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, I thought it was really fascinating and really interesting. | |
There were so many people there, like you said, 6,000 to 8,000 people. | ||
There were people clamoring to get in. | ||
There was a lot of interest in what Trump had to say, what Vivek Ramaswamy had to say, and of course, all of the powerful people in this conservative movement. | ||
I was really struck by how much people wanted to come together, wanted to create community, wanted to have an impact not just in the political realm, but in the cultural realm as well. | ||
And, you know, politics has become pervasive in all culture. | ||
We see that in Hollywood. | ||
We see it, you know, everywhere on television and in, you know, magazines and news outlets everywhere. | ||
So it was great to see so many people take a stand. | ||
What do you think of the impact? | ||
And by the way, we're trying to get Eduardo or Kavisa on this morning. | ||
If not, we'll have them on tomorrow. | ||
We're going to be Up at Bedminster on Wednesday. | ||
The same weekend we have this with these activists, Sound of Freedom does over $40 million. | ||
It's $85 million, number two to Mission Impossible and really on a roll. | ||
This was still no P&A money. | ||
This is still all word of mouth. | ||
What's the impact of showing people it can be done with the Sound of Freedom? | ||
unidentified
|
I think the impact on that is really huge. | |
You also have a lot of outlets on the left saying that it's QAnon adjacent, all of this stuff. | ||
It's ridiculous. | ||
The movie was made way before QAnon even happened. | ||
And you could, you know, as much as you could say that people are talking about child trafficking and they're slammed for being crazy for even talking about that, on the other side you have people saying that you can actually change sex. | ||
So, you know, there's questions about who's really the crazy person there, of course. | ||
But it's great to see creators being able to come out, take a stand, and use the infrastructure to create messaging and to get the point of this film across. | ||
I think it's really galvanized a lot of people. | ||
I'm really hoping that it's galvanized more than just activists, but people who want to make art, who want to make films, who want to make TV shows, who want to write books and poems and all of these things to go out there into culture. | ||
The room is open, right? | ||
The writers are on strike, the actors are on strike, make local art, go do it. | ||
Bring your friends together. | ||
You're seeing this movement for us to have a patriot economy, to have an economy that's an alternative economy. | ||
There used to be this concept of the starving artist, and I think conservative artists can certainly take to heart the idea that they don't have to go out there and make a ton of money right away. | ||
out how to make a living there and these were the young activists that were there over the weekend? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, I certainly hope so. | |
There used to be this concept of the starving artist and I think conservative artists can certainly take to heart the idea that they don't have to go out there and make a ton of money right away. | ||
You can make an impact even if you're not making a paycheck. | ||
So, yeah, I certainly hope that the kids out there are encouraged not just to knock on doors and become politically active, but also to take a stand in culture, to express what they see as beautiful in American life, to, you know, talk about life, to talk about love, to talk about all of these things that the death cult of American cultural hegemony, I guess, basically is squashing down. | ||
We're going to get more into it. | ||
By the way, can you hang around because we're going to have Caroline run, but Carrie Lake couldn't make her plane, didn't get here. | ||
So we can keep Libby for the second hour. | ||
Okay. | ||
This is Diane Taraz. | ||
This is Diane Taraz. | ||
We're doing some in-producing as we're going on. | ||
Diane Taraz with the Battle Cry of Freedom. | ||
The entire month of July we're celebrating pride in country, pride in flag, pride in Old Glory. | ||
We're going to be back. | ||
Short commercial break. | ||
We're going to be back in the war room. | ||
We've got Libby Emmons. | ||
She's from Post Millennial, Human Events, and actually the person responsible for Jack Vesovic. | ||
What a billet that is, man. | ||
I don't know if anybody can take responsibility for that. | ||
unidentified
|
Jack is a great collaborator. | |
He's a great collaborator. | ||
Short break. | ||
Back in the warm in a moment. | ||
unidentified
|
We will welcome to our number the loyal, true and brave. | |
Here's your host, Stephen K. Babb. | ||
We're trying to get Ed Warner on because Sound of Freedom is just absolutely extraordinary. | ||
You know, another $45 million thing this weekend, total $85 million. | ||
For people who don't know the structure of the entertainment industry, and you're going to learn a lot more about that because now you've got a writers and, um, actor strike combined, and of course Barry Dillon and these demons out there saying, oh, it's going to take down the entertainment industry. | ||
God bless it if it does, right? | ||
The entertainment industry is absolutely corrupt and evil. | ||
Stem to stern, but you're seeing a lot of green sprouts of conservatives and patriots now get in there. | ||
The Angel Studio guys, I mean, talk about a kamikaze flight, is to take a film with no P&A. | ||
Remember, you make the picture, this picture I think cost 15 or 20 million dollars. | ||
You've got the prints and ads are really the marketing money. | ||
To give you an example, the epic failure of Indiana Jones, I think the production cost was 300 million dollars. | ||
They had another 300 million dollars Prints and ads, which is really marketing dough to buy all the commercial spots you see, to do everything on social media, to do the roadshow when the actors go out and talk about it. | ||
$300 million. | ||
Angel Studios, I think, had a couple hundred thousand to put this film out on July 4th, where it beat Indiana Jones, $14 million to $11 million. | ||
And then it caught on as people thought it would. | ||
I saw the film, actually, a rough cut of it three years ago. | ||
When the guys came to me and said, hey, how do we, you know, this film's owned, I think at the time by Fox and then by Disney, you know, how do we get it out? | ||
How do we get it free? | ||
And the really the brilliance and heroism of the Angel Studio people to put this out. | ||
On 4th of July and it's taken off now. | ||
I mean it's crushed Indiana Jones number two film in the country Remember with no marketing budget whatsoever all the all the and even with the issues with some of the exhibitors It's standing room only it's sold out. | ||
They're standing ovations people are testifying Libya said you know people have accused of being QAnon movie a QAnon Jason This film was made before the QAnon movement started, but I will say You know, a lot of people mocking ridicule, a lot of the folks and a lot of the things on the QAnon, a lot of this stuff these guys have been talking about comes out to be true. | ||
Now, to show you how scummy the traditional GOP is, they put out a four minute, I'm not making this up and maybe we can get the clip later. | ||
In the hour when Caroline's here, she's going to be ripping on donors. | ||
They put out a four minute video, I think at the beginning of Atcon, four minute video from the Senate GOP. | ||
It's got Cornyn, it's got all these, Lindsey Graham, and they're sitting there asking questions about the child policy, the 350,000 unaccompanied minors that have come up, about the 85,000 missing, and they're very stern, knitted brow, and they're sitting there pointing their fingers, and they're going to send very tough letters. | ||
It's all performative. | ||
And here's what they do at the end. | ||
The pitch is, hey, send us money. | ||
That's the pitch. | ||
I want to tie that ad or that four-minute video to show you, hey, we're really on your side. | ||
We're here. | ||
We're really concerned about these children. | ||
Of course, they never really said anything until the movie came out and it was a big hit. | ||
Now they're trying to draft off it, right? | ||
Compare that to the lead story in The Hill this morning where The Hill says, What's rattled the GOP Senate is the rise of populist conservatism and you see that in this conference over the weekend. | ||
I want to go back to Atcon. | ||
What Charlie Kirk and his team thought through was this was going to be about action. | ||
So what you saw in the main stage was the finest get-together of populist nationalists led by President Trump. | ||
Fox did not show one second of that main stage. | ||
You had every serious presidential candidate. | ||
You had Tucker Carlson. | ||
You had Megyn Kelly. | ||
You had Josh Hawley, J.D. | ||
Vance, Ted Cruz, all these heavy-hitting senators. | ||
You had Boebert, MTG, Matt Gaetz, all the firebrands in the House that are making things happen. | ||
You had all this plus activists, all of it. | ||
Fox did not show, this is how petrified the Murdochs are of this movement. | ||
They would not show one second of this. | ||
And then you had all the breakout sessions. | ||
What I was amazed at, you had room after, first off, you had packed thousands of people in the main hall. | ||
You go by the rooms and there would be Posobiec doing a breakout, Charlie doing a breakout, other people doing a breakout about how you win elections, how you do social media. | ||
unidentified
|
There'd be three or four hundred people in these breakout rooms wall to wall. | |
So tell me about that. | ||
Tell me about the action part of this and what the focus was. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, so I think that's something that Charlie was really focused on, bringing people together to encourage them to take action in their local areas. | |
I actually ran into a woman that I had met in New York when there were anti-mask protests going on and anti-vaccine mandate protests going on. | ||
And she recognized me. | ||
She said, hey, you interviewed me early on in 2020, I think it was, at one of these protests. | ||
And now she's moved down to Florida and she's involved in local politics and she's involved in her local precinct. | ||
I ran into another man who, also from New York, there was a little New Yorker refugee thing going on. | ||
There's a lot of, trust me, there's a Florida, let me put the warning sign up, there's a lot of New Yorker refugees. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, and he was down here, too. | |
He's also involved in his local area, getting involved in politics. | ||
I was in a breakout session with Charlie Kirk, Jack Posobiec, and Savannah Hernandez, who's, of course, a brilliant reporter. | ||
She's killer. | ||
Spectacular. | ||
And a man asked a question. | ||
He's from Texas. | ||
He's an immigrant. | ||
He's running for Congress. | ||
that it's hard for people to speak out and they're not sure if they can speak out. | ||
And I said, you know, if you're an American, these are your rights. | ||
They're your natural rights. | ||
No one can take them away from you. | ||
So I saw a lot of people who had been taking action already and came to amplify that. | ||
And I saw I met a lot of people also who were interested in taking action, trying to figure out what they could do, how they could get the word out. | ||
Of course, you know, you can subscribe to the Post Millennial, which is the post millennial dot com slash subscribe. | ||
You can check out human events. | ||
You can get involved in media that way. | ||
You can also go out and do street reporting the way that James O'Keefe talks about the citizen journalist. | ||
That's a big deal. | ||
He was down here also. | ||
So, yeah, there's been a lot of a lot of great work on that. | ||
And I've really loved to see it. | ||
And also, like you were talking about with the federal agencies, there's a lot of people who are very upset about the deep state situation. | ||
And it's, it's important to remember, when you think about all of these different federal agencies, that none of these Agencies were elected. | ||
None of the people leading these were elected. | ||
They were appointed, but they weren't elected. | ||
For life, many times, because there's permanent bureaucracy. | ||
People talk about bureaucrats. This is actually deeper than that. | ||
This is the apparatchiks that run the administrative state. | ||
unidentified
|
And you even had courts saying, I think it was the Supreme Court, I might be wrong about that, but saying that the EPA had all of these rules, and the court said, you know, hey, EPA, you can't just make these rules. | |
If Congress wants to make these rules, they have to make these rules. | ||
The EPA versus West Virginia was one. | ||
unidentified
|
That's what it was. | |
Yeah. | ||
Gorsuch is the kind of brains of this deconstruction of the administrative state legally. | ||
So we've got the courts on our side, finally, at least somewhat. | ||
Now it's time to take I want to go back to a point you made. | ||
Trump's going to do. | ||
And by the way, they're going to be going nuts on this. | ||
This is the January 6th guys. | ||
You know, they couldn't do it by storming the Capitol. | ||
So now they're going to do it by embedding in the government and take on. | ||
I want to go back to a point you made. | ||
Charlie Kirk, and this is the thing about about turning point. | ||
It used to just be high school kids and college kids. | ||
It's now activists of every age. | ||
I mean, that's the amazing thing about it. | ||
Charlie is a political entrepreneur. | ||
He saw an ossified system of the two political parties that things were just not happening. | ||
And he became an entrepreneur on politics to say, hey, there's another way we can do this and bring people together. | ||
Also, Jeff Webb. | ||
I was very interested. | ||
Jeff Webb got up there yesterday talking about entrepreneurship in media, right? | ||
I know he's very involved, I guess, in human events. | ||
unidentified
|
He's our publisher, yeah. | |
He's your publisher. | ||
I think that yesterday, what was most impressive was that Everybody there is an entrepreneur. | ||
I mean, people come to me, hundreds of podcasts, I love them all. | ||
I mean, you're seeing a thousand, because I said, let a thousand flowers bloom, right? | ||
With, I think, Deng Xiaoping, you say, let a thousand flowers bloom and see what happens. | ||
Everybody's got a podcast. | ||
Everybody's a, they're essentially a force multiplier. | ||
They're taking clips, they're pushing them out, they got their followers. | ||
I don't care if you have 10 people or 10,000. | ||
You're starting to see it's participatory. | ||
And it all builds on itself. | ||
This is why if you look at broadcasts, and I talked to some of the news organizations, they broadcast their cable The thing is so slow compared to, if you're online and see this, you've got to keep an eye on this audience. | ||
unidentified
|
Yes, it's so fast. | |
And the audience has so much detail. | ||
They burn into a topic they like. | ||
So those people actually know it. | ||
You've got to be on top of it. | ||
So now I think is a great age for the entrepreneur. | ||
unidentified
|
I think you're right and it's not just entrepreneurs in media and culture but across the board you can start your own business doing anything that you love doing and really make an impact in your local community and then sponsor a little league team or what have you. | |
I think it's really important for people to stand up and speak out just in their own lives to not be cowed and pushed around by Woke school boards or whatever else is going on in your local area And yeah, there were a lot of people who wanted to start their own businesses Charlie was talking about this as well when he did his podcast with Jack on Thursday night thought crimes and This is what what people want to do. | ||
They don't want to be told what they do to do They don't want to be cogs in any machine. | ||
They want to be able to Write their own destiny. | ||
And that is, of course, something that America is founded on. | ||
That's such a beautiful thing about us. | ||
And using your agency to do that. | ||
You've got agency. | ||
unidentified
|
And bring your friends. | |
If you want to fulfill your destiny, take action, action, action. | ||
We were going to have Libby stay with us for the second hour and co-host, but I was informed in break. | ||
Libby said, hey, look, I don't know if that works. | ||
I got a flight. | ||
I got a catch. | ||
I'm at Tim Pool tonight. | ||
I think so. | ||
unidentified
|
You never know. | |
You might get bumped. | ||
The Great Tim Poole. | ||
I'm getting big-footed by Tim Poole. | ||
Tim Poole this Friday. | ||
Really a cage match. | ||
You've got Matt Brainerd and you have the Great Scott Pressler. | ||
on the ballot harvesting side versus Mike Lindell. | ||
Mike Lindell's teeing up the plan he's going to lay out at Springfield in August, but they're going to talk about the machines and all that. | ||
So Tim Pool's doing a great service. | ||
He's going to have the cage match. | ||
And Pool's fantastic. | ||
That's another entrepreneur. | ||
unidentified
|
He's a perfect example. | |
Yeah, he's great. | ||
unidentified
|
And he encourages independent thinking, critical thinking. | |
Well, he started from the Occupy. | ||
This is, I say, there's a new Thing happening in politics. | ||
You can see this from the R.F.K. | ||
Jr. | ||
He's resonating. | ||
They just put out a report yesterday that most of his money are coming from Republicans. | ||
People that have formerly been Republicans or Independents that lean Republican, most of it is small dollar, are coming from. | ||
Tim Poll is the same thing. | ||
He was an Occupy Wall Street guy. | ||
But there's something out there in ether. | ||
I say that if these two groups can get together, you get two-thirds of the country. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, and people want to be heard. | |
They're tired of being pushed around. | ||
They're tired of being told what to think, how to act, what jobs to do, how to interact with people, how to raise their families. | ||
They don't want that anymore. | ||
Did it shock you that Fox didn't cover a second of this? | ||
unidentified
|
I was kind of surprised because I've seen them at previous Turning Point events and In this case, I was wondering if, you know, maybe the lawsuit that they just faced was keeping them away. | |
I was glad to see Tucker Carlson there. | ||
I think that what he's doing is really interesting. | ||
It's sort of a win for the parallel economy to have him out here on the other side on Twitter. | ||
And not being held to account by such a major media empire. | ||
I think there's a lot of really fascinating things in store. | ||
The article came out in Politico that Fox had it with Turning Point and they weren't going to cover it. | ||
Here's the reason. | ||
It's narrative control. | ||
Tucker talks about this all the time. | ||
unidentified
|
He gave a great speech on that. | |
100%. | ||
Murdochs are neoliberal neocons. | ||
They are not populists. | ||
They're certainly not America First nationalists, right? | ||
Being foreigners. | ||
Did I say they were foreigners? | ||
Have I mentioned that yet? | ||
They are neoliberal neocons. | ||
That's what a Fox globalist Republican is. | ||
They want total narrative control. | ||
And that's why they'd even get rid of a guy like Tucker Carlson. | ||
Tucker Carlson's, I mean, his show dwarfed everything else on there. | ||
Pull him out, because he's not going to be on the plantation. | ||
He's not going to be able, you can't control him. | ||
You can't control Charlie Kirk. | ||
You certainly can't control the audience you had yesterday. | ||
You had 6,000 to 8,000 people, which is twice as many as we need to actually take over the government in 2025. | ||
These were all activists, right? | ||
I mean, all really impassioned activists. | ||
Of that, of the 6,000 to 8,000, 2,000 were precinct committeemen. | ||
I mean, the precinct with Steve Stern and Dan Schultz has been just absolutely incredible. | ||
How do people get to you? | ||
I know you've got to bounce. | ||
unidentified
|
You can find me at Libby Emmons on Twitter and, of course, at ThePostMillennial and HumanEvents.com every day. | |
You guys are doing amazing. | ||
And you're on Tim Pool tonight? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Don't want you to miss that plane. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Thanks. | ||
Tim. | ||
Big footed by Tim Pool again. | ||
I love Tim. | ||
Libby, you're doing an amazing job. | ||
unidentified
|
Thank you so much. | |
And the most amazing job you're doing? | ||
Is the care and feeding of Jack Posobiec, right? | ||
Professionally. | ||
Poso, I finally met your boss. | ||
Long time. | ||
Met Tanya. | ||
I got the boss on the personal side. | ||
Now I met your professional boss. | ||
Libby, great work. | ||
unidentified
|
Thanks so much. | |
Don't ever stop, because you're a fighter and a killer. | ||
Short commercial break. | ||
break. | ||
unidentified
|
We're going to be back in the War Room in just a moment. | |
A choice between two worlds. | ||
Will you take the blue pill and continue living in a world where a corrupt few control everything? | ||
Or will you take the red pill and join us? | ||
What the elites don't want you to know is that there are 200,000 open committee man seats in the Republican Party. | ||
These party members are the ones who determine the future of the GOP. | ||
Let's take our country back, one precinct at a time. | ||
Visit precinctstrategy.com now. | ||
This is fantastic. | ||
You know, people have asked me, why are you running for the U.S. | ||
Senate? | ||
And I said, because Massachusetts doesn't need a third senator. | ||
Utah deserves a conservative. | ||
We are a conservative state. | ||
I am tired of apologizing for Mitt Romney. | ||
You know, in 2018, Joe Biden encouraged Romney to run for Senate. | ||
I can guarantee you this. | ||
Biden doesn't want me anywhere near the Senate. | ||
We are going to hold him accountable. | ||
We are done. | ||
As Charlie said, the establishment, the Republican establishment has failed. | ||
And it is now, this is the turning point, pun intended, this is the turning point. | ||
It is now a grassroots organization. | ||
You've heard from Congresswoman Luna what this organization can do when you get behind true conservative candidates. | ||
We can make a difference. | ||
We will do that. | ||
We will hold them accountable. | ||
Thank you so much for all your support. | ||
Okay, you had Ana Paulina Luna, you had Boebert, you had MTG, you had Matt Gaetz, you had Byron Donalds, you had these hitters in the House that are making things happen, you had J.D. | ||
Vance, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, these populist nationalists that were there, plus all the serious presidential candidates, an hour and a half Speech by President Trump full of gravitas and really just and really just a serious about policies, etc. | ||
That was quite deep because not a second covered by Fox, but one of the speeches that blew people away was a mayor of a of a small town in our small city in Utah Trent Skaggs. | ||
Trent joins us now. | ||
And Trent, you represent the Hill Newspaper lead story I talked about earlier in the show. | ||
It's got a blazing headline. | ||
Populist conservatism shocks the old guard in the GOP Senate. | ||
They're very, very concerned about it. | ||
We thought Mitt Romney was like a legend in Utah. | ||
We know Utah's MAGA. | ||
Romney, I think, voted twice to remove Trump from office in the impeachments. | ||
What is going on and why would a mayor, and you've been a mayor there for a while, I think a decade, why would a very successful mayor, why are you going to take on who is considered in his own mind one of the lions of the Uniparty Senate, sir? | ||
unidentified
|
Thanks for having me on. | |
This is incredible. | ||
I mean, that event, there was so much energy and you saw that and you called out that article there. | ||
And it's exactly, that is exactly what I'm seeing here in our state. | ||
People are just tired of the establishment. | ||
They're tired of voting for people that cloak themselves in conservatism only to get to Washington, D.C. | ||
and do something antithetical, just completely against what they said they would do. | ||
And so, This is why the populist movement is so, so strong. | ||
I feel it this year more than ever. | ||
It's a big reason why I entered the race. | ||
I am just, I'm so disillusioned with, with Mitt Romney. | ||
He came in five years ago. | ||
First of all, he moves to the state. | ||
He wasn't even really here. | ||
I'm, I'm a lifelong Utahn. | ||
I've raised my family here. | ||
I've, I've started businesses. | ||
I took, helped take a company public last year, listed on NASDAQ. | ||
Utah is home. | ||
I love this place. | ||
I love our, Our residents here, like you said, I've been serving in elected office here for 10 years as a mayor. | ||
I'm just so, so passionate about this country. | ||
And I, you know, I've got my children here right behind me in this picture. | ||
I just, they're a big reason why I want them to be able to have the same opportunities that I did. | ||
And I see that slipping away. | ||
I see these, these progressives just driving this country off of a cliff. | ||
And I wrote that in an op-ed. | ||
Uh, that enough is enough. | ||
Why I'm going to replace Romney. | ||
I spelled out the case and the rationale, the reasons why I'm running. | ||
Um, I mean, Romney has either been asleep at the wheel or helping the bad guys steer. | ||
I mean, when you come from a state like Utah and you promised five years ago that you would elect conservative justices to the court, that was one of his 32nd spots. | ||
And then he's one of three Republican defectors to vote for Katonja Brown Jackson, who can't even define what a woman is. | ||
I mean, you are just so out of step with Utahns here with that move. | ||
You claim you're going to end illegal immigration. | ||
You've been mayor, it's Riverton, Utah. | ||
Tell me about the folks in Riverton and what's their take on, you know, you're a beloved mayor out there. | ||
What's their take on this senator? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, I think, you know, the people of Riverton, to characterize them, they're, they're astonishingly conservative. | |
I mean, I think they're pretty typical in terms of, The rest of the state. | ||
Salt Lake City itself is a little more liberal. | ||
We're about 20 is a lot more liberal. | ||
We're actually 20 miles south of Salt Lake City. | ||
But outside of that Salt Lake City main area where there's a lot of liberalism now, fortunately creeping in the state, Utah is very, very conservative. | ||
And as a big reason why I got into is because I've heard from so many that say that Mitt Romney doesn't represent them. | ||
He does not. | ||
He didn't do what he promised five years ago. | ||
He hasn't been doing that. | ||
He's been voting with Biden 60% plus of the time. | ||
Biden again encouraged him to run. | ||
This is not what Utahns want, and they want somebody who could step up. | ||
And after a lot of contemplation with my wife and family, we thought that this was, this is an area that we felt stirred, if you will, or compelled, called to do something that we can make a difference. | ||
Utah deserves. | ||
What I kept hearing over and over again is Utah deserves another Senator like a Mike Lee, somebody who is just very conservative, stands up for the constitution and will fight. | ||
We'll fight every day for Utahns. | ||
And that's what they'll get. | ||
They know that's what they'll get with me. | ||
They can look at my 10 year track record and see that I fought the establishment every step of the way. | ||
That's just something that I've always done. | ||
I like to say that mayors are on the front line. | ||
of pushing back on governmental overreach. We see it everywhere from the federal government, state, county. They're always trying to impose their will on us. | ||
Hey Trent, just hang on. | ||
We want to hold you through the break. | ||
Break's only about 90 seconds, two minutes. | ||
Just hang on. | ||
Trent Skaggs from Riverton, Utah. | ||
He lit up at Con 23 with a surprise appearance to throw down hard on Mitt Romney. | ||
Short commercial break. | ||
We'll be back in the boardroom. | ||
Caroline Wren is going to join us in the house next. |
