| Accountability? | ||
| You know, they get the same board seat that the woke general gets for failing. | ||
| Rinse and repeat. | ||
| Rinse and repeat. | ||
| And that's why this Monday is so critical. | ||
| We just have to send a message. | ||
| I understand it's going to be minus four, but if I can get my Florida butt back up here. | ||
| I have gotten significantly softer living in Florida when it comes to being minus four. | ||
| There was a time I could handle this. | ||
| I'm a big outdoorsman. | ||
| You live in Florida. | ||
| Now, I can also deal with 120 with 4,000 percent humidity. | ||
| It's a little different, right? | ||
| Your body acclimates. | ||
| It's probably age too, though I don't admit that lightly. | ||
| If I can get back up here, everyone can get back up here. | ||
| We can get out. | ||
| We can participate in the caucus process. | ||
| Don't forget, just like every other aspect of this thing for the last few years feels like it's been a psy-op, because it has, they're trying to get you to have that apathy. | ||
| They're trying to get you to sit up. | ||
| Donald Trump is winning by 7,462 points. | ||
| You should stay home. | ||
| That's what they're trying to do. | ||
| Because they want to say, when you win by even a large margin, they'll say, see? | ||
| The walls are closing in. | ||
| There's blood in the water. | ||
| You know, the deep state's preferred candidate in the billionaire donor class, Nikki Haley, is surging rapidly. | ||
| Well, because everyone's like, ah, we're winning by so much. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're sat at home. | |
| Like, why would you go out? | ||
| It's minus four. | ||
| Don't think that way. | ||
| Again, as evidenced by the call with Chris Christie and Ron DeSantis yesterday and Nikki Haley, right? | ||
| They're working at this point for the Democrats. | ||
| They're working for the D.C. | ||
| insiders. | ||
| They want you to stay home so they can drag that out, so the consultant class can say, no, no, no, we should fight this primary for another six months so that we can take, what was it, what did Jeff Roe take from Ron DeSantis, about 68% of every dollar raised in $200 million super PAC, so we can keep enriching ourselves. | ||
| That's how it works. | ||
| That's the game. | ||
| And Trump's exposed it. | ||
| And that's why they're never going to stop. | ||
| So, you know, I just want to thank all of you guys in this. | ||
| I get it, man. | ||
| It's been brutal. | ||
| I can promise you no one probably understands that better than me, other than perhaps my father. | ||
| But what we're fighting for is worth it. | ||
| What we're trying to gain back is worth it. | ||
| When you look at what my father was able to accomplish when he was in charge, It's astounding, but it's more astounding when you actually realize what he was actually up against. | ||
| The Republicans weren't with him. | ||
| Paul Ryan shut down the wall. | ||
| What could go wrong? | ||
| Now we have 15,000 people coming across a day. | ||
| We're throwing kids out of their high schools so we can house illegal immigrants. | ||
| You, by the way, the American taxpayer, have the privilege of paying for that. | ||
| It's not just you. | ||
| It's not just you paying for you and your kids and your grandkids and trying to give them something. | ||
| You have the privilege of paying for now millions of more people. | ||
| Coming here illegally, many of which, and frankly, I think it's intentional, will probably never actually pay into that system. | ||
| They will become dependent, because that's what the Democrat Party today offers. | ||
| If you are a dependent, as long as you vote for them, they'll keep taking, they'll give you a little bit of something, and you too can eat cockroaches while Bill Gates is eating filet mignon, and you too should sit at home and not drive your car while they fly in a G5 that burns more fuel In one hour, then you will burn in your entire lifetimes, and you should have nothing, and own nothing, and be happy. | ||
| That's not the America I grew up in. | ||
| That's not the American dream. | ||
| But it's what they'd have you believe is true. | ||
| I mean, I'm watching, like, every day, it literally feels like I'm waiting for, like, Ashton Kutcher to jump out of a cake and be like, ah, you're being punked! | ||
| No, you know, seriously, like, I'm watching videos, you know, yesterday, High schools in New York. | ||
| Kids, we're going back to remote learning, which failed miserably, so that we can house illegal immigrants in there. | ||
| Hotels in New York. | ||
| Here's your voucher and you're staying in a $500 a room night forever. | ||
| We'll keep paying for it. | ||
| Veterans in their 80s being thrown out of nursing care facilities again. | ||
| They wanna take that guy who's served his country, paid his taxes for 80 years, throw him out onto the streets so that they can give someone who came here illegally free room and board in perpetuity. | ||
| I mean, it's hard to believe, right? | ||
| They give you a hard time like, you're not allowed to say Manchurian Canada. | ||
| I'm like, no, no, no, just let's play it out. | ||
| If you were trying to destroy America from within today, what would you do differently Then today's Democrat Party policies and I don't say Joe Biden because in all fairness, like no one believes this guy's in charge of anything. | ||
| I mean, he's not in charge of his own faculties, let alone big decisions, but someone is and he'll gladly sign it. | ||
| I mean, he can't find his way off a stage like this, like. | ||
| That is, I mean. | ||
| Hey, everyone makes a mistake. | ||
| No one makes a mistake like every day, right? | ||
| He falls upstairs, he falls downstairs. | ||
| He can't find his way off the stage. | ||
| He can't remember who he's introducing. | ||
| I got to watch the Jill Biden interview. | ||
| You don't see how hard Joe works. | ||
| He's been on vacation, statistically proven, 40% of his presidency. | ||
| Everyone likes a little vacation. | ||
| If you're the President of the United States, you don't get to vacation. | ||
| You certainly don't get to vacation 40% of the time. | ||
| That said, when you actually see him in action, you say, maybe he's better off on vacation. | ||
| Or maybe we are. | ||
| Because it hasn't worked. | ||
| I hear about Bidenomics. | ||
| Bidenomics. | ||
| I'm like, again, hey man, full disclosure, I'm the son of a billionaire from Manhattan. | ||
| And if I'm pissed off when I go to the supermarket, you know, I mean, like, I'm not supposed to notice the difference. | ||
| You know, I can listen, I can be intellectually honest. | ||
| I'm not pretending. | ||
| If I'm like there, I was with my kids. | ||
| We came back from a trip. | ||
| I took two of my boys on a fishing trip. | ||
| And I came back. | ||
| We were in Anchorage Airport in Alaska. | ||
| So I was on maybe one of those planes that the doors keep falling off. | ||
| We went to McDonald's for an 11-year-old, a 14-year-old, and me. | ||
| And it was $39. | ||
| Like I said, if it was 50 bucks, it's probably not, I'm not telling them not to get whatever the heck that they were getting. | ||
| But if I'm sitting there being like, man, that's crazy. | ||
| Like, what's it doing to someone making 60 grand, working their ass off? | ||
| I'm not supposed to know. | ||
| And the politicians that we have representing us in D.C., they don't even get it. | ||
| They don't even notice. | ||
| Or they couldn't care less, and that's probably worse. | ||
| But they couldn't because they keep doing it over and over again. | ||
| It's Einstein's definition of insanity, right? | ||
| Do the same failed thing over and over again and expect a different result. | ||
| Like that's not going to happen. | ||
| We actually had good prosperity. | ||
| The lowest income earners were actually gaining under Trump. | ||
| Those policies were working. | ||
| We were holding China accountable. | ||
| Now it's like China sitting there. | ||
| This is the greatest thing that could ever happen to him. | ||
| Yeah, guess what? | ||
| The billion dollars they gave Hunter Biden, that's the greatest return on investment in the history of investing. | ||
| And just so we're clear, they're not morons like us. | ||
| They don't give a billion dollars to a crackhead, I can assure you. | ||
| They're not looking to diversify their portfolio managers by investing with crackheads. | ||
| Only we're dumb enough to do this kind of stuff. | ||
| They gave them that money for a purpose. | ||
| And it's paying off. | ||
| And we have people in DC, even on our side, who aren't all that interested in looking at it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Guess what? | |
| Because they're all probably on the take as well. | ||
| So we have an opportunity to do something, but we have to do it soon, and we have to do it now. | ||
| Honestly, at this point, I do believe if we don't sort of all get together as a country in this election, that's over. | ||
| I mean, what they're trying to do, the things they're implementing, the rights they're infringing on. | ||
| You know, if you're in J6, you broke a window, you're in jail for 17 years. | ||
| You know, if you burn down a Target in an entire city block in Seattle, Portland, Kodosha, that's like, wow, you're a hero. | ||
| Like, I'm trying to understand this one, but, you know, when I ask them to explain it to me like I'm a five-year-old, they can't do it, but it doesn't matter, they're actually still doing it. | ||
| Again, the people who've screamed about fascism and democracy, you know, the loudest, seem to be acting a lot like fascists. | ||
| You think that stops? | ||
| You think that gets better if it's not Trump? | ||
| Or do you think this is just the gateway drug for them to going all in? | ||
| To me, that's a no-brainer. | ||
| You know, and like I said, for me, it was a lot easier to be a real estate developer from New York City. | ||
| Make a lot of money, I got invited to all the cool person parties. | ||
| But I actually believe in this stuff, and I believe in our country. | ||
| I have five young kids, and I know how that happens now. | ||
| Got some new hobbies. | ||
| But now that I got them, we gotta actually leave them a country that they recognize. | ||
| That they can live that American dream. | ||
| And so, we just gotta get out there and do that. | ||
| We gotta treat Monday as though we're ten points back. | ||
| Again, they want that apathy, the consultant class, the media. | ||
| They're trying to create the narrative of failure. | ||
| You can just see it because they say these things out loud at this point. | ||
| It's like everyone owes their conspiracy theorist uncle a big apology for the last seven years because they were right about everything. | ||
| The media got virtually nothing correct. | ||
| But it doesn't stop them from doubling down. | ||
| It doesn't stop them from telling you that they're the elite. | ||
| They somehow know better. | ||
| It's a problem, and I think we can rectify that. | ||
| It starts right here in Iowa. | ||
| So I just want to thank all of you guys for all of your efforts. | ||
| I know that, like I said, it's not easy. | ||
| It's not easy to be a conservative. | ||
| It's less easy being vocal about that. | ||
| It's much harder being a Trump-supporting conservative. | ||
| But what we're all Fighting for is so worth it. | ||
| It's so important. | ||
| And honestly, I think, you know, America's the last bastion of any of this. | ||
| I mean, when you look at some of the people with, hey, they're just like, you know, the UK, like, you know, if you misgender someone, they'll put you in jail for two years, just so we understand where we're going. | ||
| You know, it used to be like, they're like us, you know, unless you call a dude, you know, a dude. | ||
| It's like, oh, you grew your hair out a little? | ||
| Yeah, I've had a mullet, too. | ||
| It doesn't make me a chick, but I can pretend. | ||
| New Zealand and Australia, you saw the draconian lockdowns. | ||
| Hey, our friendly neighbors to the north, Canada, they're a democracy kind of, right? | ||
| Yeah, they're arresting reporters in the streets for asking about questions that reporters should ask, questions that reporters in this country should ask, but they're too busy being regime propagandists. | ||
| They're not journalists. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| If today's media was doing for the Republican Party what today's media does for the Democrat Party, the Federal Elections Commission would be in there and say, hey, these are in-kind contributions. | ||
| You know, you're working for them, and let's just say you've way exceeded your max. | ||
| But again, it's not just our ideas versus the Democrats' ideas. | ||
| It's our ideas stymied, shut down, cancelled by big tech, trillion-dollar institutions, the mainstream media, while their nonsense, their lies, are artificially boosted by the same thing. | ||
| So we're not in a fair fight. | ||
| We can't pretend that we are. | ||
| And again, and that's why it's gonna take someone as strong as a Trump to actually change something. | ||
| Someone who does have the guts to do something about it. | ||
| Someone who could have gotten out of this three years ago, said, hey, I did what I needed to do. | ||
| I checked off another incredible accomplishment box. | ||
| Let's just move on and have a good life. | ||
| But he understands what's happening. | ||
| It's why he got in this to begin with. | ||
| I promise you, he had it pretty good. | ||
| I got to piggyback off some of that stuff. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It was easy. | |
| It was pretty good. | ||
| But now that we're in this, we're not going to stop because it's not what we do. | ||
| We fight. | ||
| And what's sort of interesting, you see it going on today in New York and yesterday in Atlanta. | ||
| People are starting to get it again. | ||
| The attacks, it's so ridiculous, right? | ||
| The prosecutor in Atlanta happened to hire someone to try a criminal case who'd never tried a criminal case before. | ||
| Paid him almost three quarters of a million dollars. | ||
| Oh, and they happened to be sleeping together and going on vacations, lavish vacations together with that money. | ||
| I mean, it's... | ||
| Over and over again, the one in New York, they're going to visit the Biden White House. | ||
| I'm like, so criminal fraud, what does that have to do with the Biden White House? | ||
| Why are you going there to meet there? | ||
| Unless, of course, you're doing what everyone knows they're doing. | ||
| So what's nice about it, as brutal as it is for us to deal with on a daily basis, is they're showing their hand. | ||
| You understand the game that they're playing. | ||
| By the way, if they've done one, pick one and see it through. | ||
| Again, 1,000 years and the death penalty? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Doesn't seem fitting. | ||
| So I think we've woken up a lot of people. | ||
| I think they understand what we've lost in the last few years. | ||
| They understand the lives that they've been pushed. | ||
| It's not coming out. | ||
| Joe Biden can go up and then tell you that Bidenomics is doing such a great job. | ||
| But like I said, if I can feel it, everyone can feel it. | ||
| And everyone does feel it. | ||
| So for me, as I travel around the country, as I do this stuff, I can assure you, the enthusiasm is unlike anything I've ever actually seen before. | ||
| So let's get out there on Monday. | ||
| Let's make sure everyone shows up. | ||
| Call all your friends. | ||
| If I can get my butt back up here in minus four, you guys can get all your friends out to vote. | ||
| Let's finish this thing early. | ||
| Let's finish it strong. | ||
| So just thank you all so much for what you're doing. | ||
| Really appreciate it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you guys. | |
| This is John Fredericks filling in for Steve Bannon. | ||
| Steve, we'll be back tomorrow at 10 a.m. | ||
| We're live here. | ||
| We just heard from, you just heard from remarks from Donald Trump Jr. | ||
| coming here to the Bull Moose Club. | ||
| Which is at the iconic Machine Shed restaurant in Urbana, Iowa. | ||
| This is about 20-30 minutes outside of Des Moines. | ||
| And the message with Donald Trump Jr. | ||
| was very clear. | ||
| And it's what we've been saying all week. | ||
| We have one enemy in these caucuses. | ||
| It's not Haley. | ||
| It's not DeSantis. | ||
| It's complacency and overconfidence. | ||
| It's going to be, right now, we're looking at, Monday is going to be the coldest day for a caucus in history of Iowa. | ||
| Windchill, it's now projected to get down to minus 20. | ||
| Like, I don't even know what that is. | ||
| Like, does a thermometer even, can a thermometer even pick that up at minus 20? | ||
| But Donald Trump Jr. | ||
| coming here today, this is one of these caucus rallies to motivate Trump voters who are signed up to go to the caucus to get out there on Monday and vote. | ||
| And what Donald Trump Jr. | ||
| basically said is what we've been saying for some time. | ||
| This is going to be the last election if we don't win. | ||
| He said basically this, if your goal was to completely destroy the country from within, Name one thing that you would do differently than the Biden-Obama administration, if that's really what it is, is doing now. | ||
| And he was very candid in saying Obama's not making any... Biden's not making any decisions. | ||
| It's all Obama. | ||
| And he said he encouraged caucus-goers here to don't look at the polling, Don't be overconfident. | ||
| Brave the cold. | ||
| He said we have to come out like we're 10 points down, not 20 or 30 or 40 up. | ||
| He also said, it's kind of interesting, he said some of the things we've been saying, that the expectation game is now that whatever President Trump wins Iowa by on Monday night, whatever the number is, They're going to say he underperformed. | ||
| It doesn't matter. | ||
| He can win by 20, 30, 40. | ||
| Whatever the number is, they're going to say he underperformed. | ||
| And basically, they're going to want to move forward with the Haley candidacy because they got all this money. | ||
| And of course, the big donors and the consultants are driving this. | ||
| So he said this has already been written by the fake news, I call it the state-run media, that no matter what happens, they're going to say that Trump Underperformed. | ||
| He also really went after the elites, and he said it's really the billionaire class in this country and the donors that want the cheap labor. | ||
| They want the open borders. | ||
| They're driving this. | ||
| He talked about illegals coming in and kicking kids out of high school so we can go back to remote learning in New York, where that's failed. | ||
| And he said, you're paying for that. | ||
| You're paying for your own kids to get kicked out of your own school to give them shelter, money, $500 And so Donald Trump basically firing up the crowd here. | ||
| Donald Trump Jr. | ||
| also, interestingly enough, mentioned the J6ers. | ||
| And he was not shy about this. | ||
| He said, look, we're in a country right now, go figure this, where if you showed up on J6, first of all, he called it the greatest unarmed, no, I'm sorry, the only unarmed insurrection in the history of the world. | ||
| Because it was unarmed, right? | ||
| And he said, in the country that's armed to the teeth... | ||
| Nobody had any weapons. | ||
| So what kind of a... the whole thing's a joke. | ||
| He said they're living a clown show, basically, and he said we're in a country now where you go to the Capitol, you break a window, you get 17 years, but if you go to Minneapolis or you go to Seattle and you burn down a city, you're treated like a hero, and it's called reparations. | ||
| I mean, he just nailed it. | ||
| And he said that the key here was going to be getting out and getting out on Monday knowing that this weather is going to be a disaster. | ||
| Now, we're supposed to be at the Cary Lake event tomorrow. | ||
| We're going to get another 8, 10, 12 inches tonight. | ||
| No one knows. | ||
| Weather's been all over the board. | ||
| But that is the number one thing, though. | ||
| I can tell you, talking to caucus goers here, I want to tell you a couple of things. | ||
| You know, I've been at these things. | ||
| I've been at these, a number of these, right? | ||
| Cruz in what, 16? | ||
| And I guess it was Santorum in 2012. | ||
| I've never seen a level of enthusiasm from caucus goers for a candidate that I've seen here tonight and for the three days we've been in Iowa since Sunday night. | ||
| I've never seen this level of enthusiasm. | ||
| That's what's driving these numbers. | ||
| And these Trump voters, if they turn out, this is going to be quite a stunning victory. | ||
| But again, You know, you have to get out because polls don't win caucuses. | ||
| Polls don't matter. | ||
| You've got to turn your people out. | ||
| They've got to stay there a couple hours. | ||
| You know, if it's 20 below, I think, with the windchill factor, you've got to basically bundle up, right? | ||
| Action, action, action. | ||
| Meantime, today, I'm going to give a poll that just came out, guys. | ||
| If we can go to graphic A, Wendell, this is gonna be Graphic A, my guys back in Denver. | ||
| We go to Graphic A, I'd appreciate it. | ||
| This is the, yeah, this is the Suffolk poll that came out last night. | ||
| Basically, you can see that you've got Trump at 58%. | ||
| This is just a stunning number. | ||
| He's at 58%. | ||
| Haley's moved into second place now at 15%, DeSantis at 14. | ||
| So they're battling for second place. | ||
| And Trump with a whopping 43 point lead, Ramaswamy has basically fallen off the cliff here. | ||
| He's no factor. | ||
| But the key to this is, if DeSantis loses Iowa after spending all this money, and he's got four buses, I've got one bus. | ||
| He's got four buses that have been, or three buses that have been here for a year. | ||
| And he's supposed to have this great ground game, and Jeff Rose spent all this money. | ||
| If he loses Iowa to Nikki Haley, I don't even know how he gets through New Hampshire. | ||
| I think DeSantis is done after Iowa if he comes in this kind of a third with all the money they spent and everything they did in Iowa. | ||
| I just don't see, cuz he's. | ||
| No, I think fifth in New Hampshire, fourth in New Hampshire. | ||
| This guy's campaign's over on Monday night if that's what the results are. | ||
| So look, we're going to be following it. | ||
| Rav and I are going to be live. | ||
| We're going to be breaking in live. | ||
| I'm going to have my live radio show 8 p.m. | ||
| Eastern on Monday. | ||
| We're going to be at a live precinct doing our show. | ||
| We're all set up there. | ||
| That's in Norwalk, Iowa, about a half hour outside south of Iowa. | ||
| Guys, I'm having a little trouble hearing, so if we can tell me where we're going from here, but Denver, hang in there with us. | ||
| Okay, we're going to get John Mills in a couple of minutes. | ||
| I want to do one thing, though. | ||
| President Trump's campaign just released a new TV ad today, which is pretty compelling. | ||
| We're going to play this. | ||
| This is Earn Media. | ||
| This is the Trump campaign ad just hitting the major Iowa TV stations about two hours ago. | ||
| Roll the tape. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Americans were promised a secure retirement. | |
| Nikki Haley's plan ends that. | ||
| Social Security, Medicare, how would you manage the entitlements? | ||
| We say the rules have changed. | ||
| We change retirement age to reflect life expectancy. | ||
| What we do know is 65 is way too low and we need to increase that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Haley's plan cuts Social Security benefits for 82% of Americans. | |
| Trump will never let that happen. | ||
| I'm Donald J. Trump and I approve this message. | ||
| Okay, so that is the new Trump TV ad. | ||
| Pretty hard-hitting as they're looking to get this right. | ||
| Joining us now, Donald Trump Jr. | ||
| I didn't want to interrupt you. | ||
| We were just talking about you. | ||
| Looking so good, John. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, thank you. | |
| I appreciate it. | ||
| So do you. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| What'd you think of our megabus outside? | ||
| It looked good, buddy. | ||
| It looks good. | ||
| Enthusiasm on the ground feels good, but again, Biggest thing, I don't want people to have that apathy. | ||
| You don't have anything in the bag until you do. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You've seen all the games that people have played. | |
| You saw the games, frankly, in 16 that people were playing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Everyone's got to turn up. | |
| Everyone's got to call, because everyone's going to vote. | ||
| And the faster we end this thing, the faster we move on to take on the real challenge, which is the ridiculous policies of the Democrat Party. | ||
| Is complacency the biggest enemy that you have now going into Monday? | ||
| I think so. | ||
| You know, again, you see the media pushing. | ||
| He's leading by so much they want the story of, hey, you underperformed by one point because they artificially boosted. | ||
| Then they say there's blood in the water. | ||
| He's losing his touch. | ||
| It's such nonsense. | ||
| Anyone who watched the debate last night versus my father's town hall understands there's only one guy that can actually get this stuff done for our country, and it's my father. | ||
| But they'll do whatever they can to try to stop that, as we've seen. | ||
| As you go into the final days, is there anything here other than complacency that you want to get done? | ||
| Anything that's keeping you up at night? | ||
| No, we just got to keep going. | ||
| We get out there and we fight every day. | ||
| What's keeping me up at night is the thought of another four years of this ridiculous administration pushing this insanity, destroying our freedoms, destroying our economy, destroying everything. | ||
| That keeps me up at night. | ||
| That's why I'm out here. | ||
| Don, final thing, because I know you've got to go. | ||
| I just want to get your thoughts on the phone call between Chris Christie and DeSantis yesterday. | ||
| You kind of broke that down in your speech. | ||
| I was wondering if you could elaborate on what you see as the significance of that. | ||
| I mean, it just shows they're all working together just to hurt Trump, right? | ||
| At this point, they're working for the Democrat Party, as far as I'm concerned. | ||
| Haley doesn't have a chance, but maybe she can siphon off more dollars. | ||
| It's about dragging this thing out. | ||
| It's about spending resources, time, and energy. | ||
| So that Joe Biden and the billionaire Democrat lunatic funding, you know, his campaign can just stroll through to a general. | ||
| They're not actually trying to do anything for the Republican Party. | ||
| They're trying to prevent Donald Trump from winning. | ||
| And that's a big win for the Democrat Party. | ||
| That was obvious. | ||
| I mean, you heard the... I mean, it's almost like... | ||
| Oh my god, like, I know it because I do this stuff every day. | ||
| You sort of assume that's what they're doing anyway. | ||
| You hear the words coming out of their mouth. | ||
| It's so nefarious. | ||
| It's so sick. | ||
| It's so evil. | ||
| But at least everyone knows exactly what's going on right now, and that should really influence a lot of people in the coming, you know, weeks. | ||
| All the money and all the time that DeSantis spent here in Iowa. | ||
| He spent a year, as you mentioned, a couple hundred million dollars. | ||
| Oh, I don't think he's been in Florida. | ||
| I live in Florida. | ||
| I haven't spent a year there. | ||
| It was the perpetual book tour. | ||
| The longest book tour in the history of book tours. | ||
| Then there was an announcement. | ||
| You know, there was 80,000 people without power in Florida this week. | ||
| He's here doing that. | ||
| Pursuing his ambitions, you know and or working for the billionaires that were funding him until they saw him on stage for more than a second or two who are now funding Nikki Haley, so It's scary stuff. | ||
| Then you hear the Nikki Haley stuff And it's like it's literally Hillary Clinton like pretending to be a Republican for Halloween or something like that. | ||
| It's brutal like she was made in a lab by the neocon Republican billionaire class it's scary stuff so But again, I think people are seeing it Final thing, if DeSantis finishes third here in Iowa after spending all this money, does he drop out? | ||
| He probably doesn't because again, his consultants will say, keep going so that we can keep making money on the unnecessary ad buy. | ||
| It's not about him winning or Nikki Haley winning. | ||
| It's about draining the resources that Trump has so that he can't combat Joe Biden because we've seen there's no accountability for Republicans. | ||
| When they fail, they get to have a very nice, easy existence in Washington, D.C. | ||
| if you become a weak establishment Republican. | ||
| You know, when you're actually fighting, that's when it changes. | ||
| Don Jr., thank you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Thank you for being with us. | ||
| Just heard live from Don Jr. | ||
| here at the Boo Moose Club. | ||
| We're in Urbandale and basically nailing it, saying the whole thing is complacency. | ||
| We've got to get out and vote. | ||
| That is the purpose of these caucus training meetings, is what they say. | ||
| But Don Jr. | ||
| really fired up. | ||
| And the other thing that he said, and we need to really grasp this, is we were saying it earlier, I mean, DeSantis has spent Just as Pakaloda spent over two hundred million dollars in Iowa, and they got three buses running for a year, plus he had the book tour, and he's about to finish third to Nikki Haley. | ||
| If that happens on caucus night, that becomes really the story. | ||
| There's no really math for this guy to go on. | ||
| I think his campaign ends before they get to New Hampshire, because he's going to balance himself again there. | ||
| What the donors are trying to do, what the globalist class, what the neocons want, what the deep state wants, is they want to somehow get Haley into a one-on-one with Trump that she can amass enough delegates that then she can't win. There's no math for her to win. | ||
| But enough delegates then to the donors to go to President Trump and try to compel him to put Nikki on the ticket with him. | ||
| I don't think he's going to do that. | ||
| You heard him last night. | ||
| He said he had already made his pretty much made up his mind up on who his running mate is going to be. | ||
| He's not going to tell anybody who that is. | ||
| A lot of speculation. | ||
| But we know who it's not going to be. | ||
| And that's Nikki Haley. | ||
| There's no way. | ||
| It's not going to be DeSantis. | ||
| It's not going to be Haley. | ||
| It's not going to be any any of that. | ||
| So I'm not even going to conjecture about who his who his choice is. | ||
| But President Trump saying that he's made that the other interesting that that Donald Trump Jr. said here, and he said it two times. | ||
| He said, look, I'm the son of a billionaire, and I'm still feeling it when I go shopping. | ||
| I'm still feeling the pain of taking my three, my two older boys to McDonald's, and it's a $39 bill. | ||
| Like, who ever heard of that? | ||
| And he said, I'm the son of a billionaire. | ||
| You know, if I'm feeling it, everybody is feeling it. | ||
| I think that's really the bottom line here about what this is. | ||
| So folks, we're live here. | ||
| We got John Mills coming up in a couple of minutes. | ||
| I'm John Furtick. | ||
| We're subbing for Steve Bannon on War Room today. | ||
| Steve will be back at 10 a.m. | ||
| tomorrow. | ||
| So it's not like, you know, you just got to get through one day without him. | ||
| But, you know, Steve has said this on War Room. | ||
| Over and over. | ||
| Really the goal here of the donor, neocon, deep state Republican establishment, open borders class is to get Haley as VP on the ticket. | ||
| That's really what their goal is. | ||
| They know they can't win. | ||
| They can't go to Milwaukee. | ||
| They're not going to have 2,200 delegates. | ||
| That's not going to happen. | ||
| So their goal at the end of the day is to try to get her as VP, and we're going to see what happens, all right? | ||
| Don't forget, RAB continues on. | ||
| We've got the best coverage on the Trump campaign right here on Real America's Voice. | ||
| George Rutherford, I'll be right back. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We will fight till they're all gone. | |
| We rejoice when there's no more. | ||
| Let's take down the CCP! | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bann. | ||
| Welcome back to War Room. | ||
| I'm John Fredericks filling in tonight for Steve Bannon live in Urbana, Iowa. | ||
| It's about 10 degrees right now. | ||
| It's going to go down to minus 20 on Caucus Day. | ||
| We've already talked about that. | ||
| So bring your hats, bring your gloves, bring your mittens and bring plenty of coffee because it's going to be quite the night. | ||
| Just heard from Donald Trump Jr. | ||
| here and really got the crowd fired up. | ||
| Trump has got the votes. | ||
| He's got the people. | ||
| We just got to get him out. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| You just got to get him out on Monday. | ||
| He does that. | ||
| Everything is going to be fine. | ||
| And we're going to be live again on Monday night, 8 p.m. | ||
| Eastern at a real live caucus. | ||
| You don't want to miss that. | ||
| So we're going to be live with voters there. | ||
| Bringing you all the action. | ||
| RIV is going to be cutting in and helping us out with that and we appreciate all they do. | ||
| Appreciate our team in Denver getting this done on the fly. | ||
| Appreciate Eric Fox with us getting all this done. | ||
| All this was done at basically the last minute, so it's good to have everybody with us. | ||
| Okay, we're gonna go now to Taiwan, where Colonel John Mills is standing by his NTIP right now. | ||
| A huge election in Taiwan. | ||
| We've been giving this in-depth coverage. | ||
| On Saturday, the presidential candidate that represents the populist MAGA movement is ahead in the polls, but the CCP is trying to intimidate and coerce voters, saying basically, if you vote for this guy, We're going to invade, there's going to be a war. | ||
| I mean, it's just what is going on there is incredible. | ||
| John, on the ground, Colonel John Mills on the ground in Taiwan, give us a full update. | ||
| What are they doing here? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, there's three different parties running. | |
| The DPP with William Lai, the legacy KMT, Ko Ming Tong, Hu Yue, that's the one that the communists want. | ||
| You also got this third party, kind of, they're trying to play the middle of the road, and that's Ko Wen Jie, that's the TPP party. | ||
| I just talked to you a few hours ago, we were at a huge rally, easily 100,000 in front of the presidential palace. | ||
| Uh, in Taipei, and there's going to be an even bigger rally tonight. | ||
| The DPP, I really think really, we've been to a number of the venues of the three different parties from an energy perspective. | ||
| No question about it. | ||
| No question about it. | ||
| The DPP has it. | ||
| Now, when we were at the KMT press conference yesterday, they did something. | ||
| They rolled out a Council on Foreign Relations foreign affairs article that essentially was the argument and closing case for why the KMT party should win. | ||
| That's the party that the communists want to win. | ||
| And I was, you know, well, OK, here we come. | ||
| Here come the globalists trying to get in, trying to throw the election. | ||
| So you got the globalists and China trying to throw the election. | ||
| You got the Foreign Affairs writing an article. | ||
| That article was clearly ghosted. | ||
| And what it surprised me, it sure reminded me, because the argument was if you vote for the DPP and William Lai, You'll have war. | ||
| If you vote for me, KMT, you'll have peace. | ||
| This is straight out of the 1984 playbook and this exact same theme the Democrats used against Ronald Reagan. | ||
| A vote for Reagan is a vote for war. | ||
| Vote for Mondale, you'll have peace. | ||
| They're just trying to scare and spook everybody. | ||
| It's projection. | ||
| The exact opposite is true. | ||
| Because the DPP wants to build up. | ||
| They clearly say, hey, we are responsible for the defense of Taiwan. | ||
| We will defend ourselves. | ||
| We do want the weapons that we have actually ordered and paid for, which I think is very reasonable. | ||
| But they will defend Taiwan and they will deter China from invading. | ||
| Because China, this is going to be a mess if China tries to invade. | ||
| They're going to take a lot of casualties. | ||
| But the KMT is just a classic projection. | ||
| The KMT party is just dirty, dirty, dirty. | ||
| There's already been 200 arrests. | ||
| under the Anti-Infiltration Act, which is the law that forbids taking of foreign money in regards to elections. | ||
| One of them was the campaign manager for that third party, the TPP, and they're sneaking in cryptocurrency. | ||
| But the island is under unprecedented cyber attack by China. | ||
| I know the personalities and the capabilities of the Taiwanese. | ||
| When I was in the office at DOD, I worked with the Taiwanese, got to know them pretty well. | ||
| I have a great confidence in them. | ||
| The tip of the spear on the digital attacks and cyber attacks is TikTok. | ||
| They do allow TikTok, but they're very good at filtering TikTok. | ||
| But you noticed the Biden team, you know, that's one of the things they drag their feet on is they don't want to, they like TikTok. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because TikTok helps them in the psychological operations And cyber warfare and they call it cognitive warfare. | ||
| And that's exactly so. | ||
| This is a window onto what's going to happen in November 2024 for all of us. | ||
| Also went to the very special was given a very special tour of the TSMC chip plant. | ||
| These plants are enormous. | ||
| Then it is just stunning the size. | ||
| I had a clip lined up to play that. | ||
| It was just unbelievable the size of these these plants. | ||
| And they make essentially 80% of the world's chips. | ||
| They are an enormous part of the economy here and an enormous part of the world's economy. | ||
| 80 to 90% chance every single viewer has something with a TSMC chip in it and would not operate without those chips. | ||
| It's one of the reasons why China wants Taiwan so badly. | ||
| They want those chip plants. | ||
| The Taiwanese have just become the world's best chip makers and that was a wonderful, very special. | ||
| They went out of their way to make a special tour for me, for the team over here. | ||
| The new federal state of China has been absolutely incredible. | ||
| Couldn't have done this trip without their support. | ||
| Their team has just been fantastic with Chris and Derek and Robert and Doug and Fay and Jimmy and everybody. | ||
| Couldn't have done it without them. | ||
| Just fantastic. | ||
| Well, Colonel, tell us a little bit about the level of military intimidation that is going on. | ||
| You kind of talked about the words, but they've got military-grade balloons that are weaponized flying. | ||
| This is the CCP. | ||
| Flying over the Taiwan Strait. | ||
| They've got other saber-rattling exercises to try to scare Taiwanese people into abandoning their, let's call it, make Taiwan great again, independent, you know, MAGA, populist candidate, to go with the CCP-friendly candidate. | ||
| Explain the level of the military intimidation that the CCP has done, and what do you think they're going to continue to do? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, they've tried to be quiet up until the election, but the last week, week and a half, Xi gave out a very bellicose statement on the 31st of January saying there will be a unification. | |
| Remember, Taiwan has never been part of the mainland, never been part of the mainland. | ||
| And so they fired a ballistic missile over the island. | ||
| It was during a press conference that I was at with Foreign Minister Joseph Wu. | ||
| And national kind of an amber alert went off. | ||
| Frankly, most of the people freaked out. | ||
| Most of the journalists freaked out during the conference. | ||
| And the text was a little bit, it could have been better on the alert on both the Mandarin and the English version, which caused confusion. | ||
| But it was clearly, you know, in the end, China says, oh, no, no, it was just a commercial space launch. | ||
| Yeah, I don't think so. | ||
| I think it was intentional. | ||
| The good news is the system alerted and triggered. | ||
| Just the text could have been a little bit better. | ||
| The journalist sitting next to me was a British paper in Beijing and he was freaking out because he goes, why did my phone alert? | ||
| Well, I said, that's what happens when you buy a phone in China. | ||
| They're gonna cut you out through the network. | ||
| They're gonna cut you out from these alerts. | ||
| He was very, very concerned that he did not get the alert, but he has a Chinese phone, what do you expect? | ||
| But yeah, what was also they're doing is a continuous flight of, these are large drones encircling the island. | ||
| I would call it a drone blockade of the island of Taiwan. | ||
| So the the Evil Trade Federation is intimidating Naboo with a peaceful Naboo with this drone blockade, the Star Wars reference. | ||
| But that's what's going on. | ||
| And it's it's dangerous. | ||
| It's a military message. | ||
| It's cognitive warfare and it's also a safety of flight issue. | ||
| I think Taiwan needs to be in UN bodies such as ICAO, the International Civil Airline Organization. | ||
| Because, uh, hold on a second here. | ||
| You know, I had to fly through that drone blockade, you know, are they going to bump into, I mean, it would crash and, you know, take down the airline or everybody killed. | ||
| So that was very concerning. | ||
| This continuous, these are big drones. | ||
| You aren't little, just DJI toys. | ||
| These are big, long endurance drones that are capable of carrying weapons. | ||
| And you remember General Menahan talked about getting his crews ready, his, he, cause he commands all the transport aircraft in the U S air force. | ||
| So he's talking and he was saying things like arming his transport aircraft. | ||
| I thought that was a little interesting. | ||
| And I think what he's talking about is they're going to have to fly. | ||
| If war breaks out and China is not able to throw this election, use the KMT to take the island. | ||
| And so when the conflict, the actual shooting breaks out, Our transport aircraft are going to have to fly through this drone blockade, and guess what? | ||
| These drones can shoot missiles. | ||
| And I think that might have been what General Minahan was talking about, is arming our C-5s, our C-17s, our C-130s with missiles too, so they will have some defense against this. | ||
| They've been doing it for almost a year. | ||
| And I think it's a point of order that has to be brought up in the United Nations. | ||
| This is just not right. | ||
| And, you know, Taiwan, it doesn't get any UN representation at the moment, but I think that needs to change. | ||
| There's actually a growing consensus that somehow Taiwan needs to be recognized in the UN. | ||
| So, yeah, they're full-blown intimidation, missiles firing, drones. | ||
| And at the same time, there's lots and lots of bombers and fighters challenging the airspace and also Chinese surface vessels. | ||
| So it's a full-blown pervasive intimidation of Taiwan. | ||
| But yet even with this intimidation, Colonel, you were just saying earlier that the pro-freedom party, the presidential pro-freedom candidate, they had over 100,000 people at a rally. | ||
| So, I mean, when you say the intimidation is backfiring, how do you get 100,000 people at a rally at the palace? | ||
| So 100,000 people is a lot of people at a rally at the palace in the midst of all this military intimidation. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, well, you saw me, and excuse me for using a January 6 reference, but it was like on January 6 where all the cell phones were shut down between the FBI, DHS, and having a huge number of people in one location. | |
| You saw it when I was on the air with you last night, the lag time of the video. | ||
| It was massive, and I think 100,000 was an underestimate. | ||
| I mean, it was incredible, and that was the small rally. | ||
| The big rally is tonight. | ||
| And how many are expected at the big rally? | ||
| That was a small rally. | ||
| How many are expected at the big rally, Colonel? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I would not be surprised to see double. | |
| It is in a stadium, which does constrain it, but you know, like a Trump rally, there's going to be a lot of people who can't get in. | ||
| They're going to be outside watching it on big screens. | ||
| So the energy, I mean, come on, it's not even close if you measure by the energy. | ||
| I mean, the KMT rallies I went to was Pretty pathetic compared to what the DPP has. | ||
| And the TPP has had some rallies, and they've actually been bigger than the KMT rallies. | ||
| But yeah, they're gonna try to be clever, and they're gonna try to throw this election, but again, they've already arrested 200 for taking money from China. | ||
| And they do these elections, it's essentially, they do use tabulators, but it's so transparent. | ||
| Every single ballot is shown. | ||
| Before and after on the big screen and then the paper ballots, they pass it through the tabulator and everybody can see how the ballot was marked and so they can confirm right on the spot that the numbers changed exactly as the ballot is marked. | ||
| Colonel, maybe you should bring that intel back to the U.S. | ||
| so we can have free and fair elections, but it really goes to show you, Colonel Mills, that people yearn freedom. | ||
| That's why they're getting 100, 200,000 people out. | ||
| John, Colonel's new book, gotta get it, The Deep State, or thedeepstate.com, thedeepstate.com. | ||
| Colonel live. | ||
| John Mills live in Taiwan. | ||
| John, thanks for being with us. | ||
| We'll be right back in Arbornia, in Iowa, at the caucus. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We rejoice when there's no more, let's take down the CCD! | |
| Here's your host Stephen K. Bamm All right, here we are back John Frederick's filling in for Stephen K. Bannon on War Room. | ||
| Great to have you with us. | ||
| Steve will be back tomorrow, 10 a.m. | ||
| Eastern. | ||
| So we're here in Urbana at one of the caucus training events. | ||
| You just heard from Donald Trump Jr. | ||
| It's going to be minus 20 on Monday. | ||
| Windchill factor. | ||
| I've never been a minus 20. | ||
| I'm not from Minnesota or Buffalo, wherever these places are. | ||
| But it's going to be cold. | ||
| We've got to get people out. | ||
| Joining me now here live, David Laghi and Patricia Laghi. | ||
| Did I mangle your names? | ||
| I did great. | ||
| I'm so proud of myself. | ||
| Okay, I got the loggies here and they are Warren County Caucus chair captains. | ||
| Got it, captains. | ||
| Okay, what got you involved as a caucus captain, Patricia, with the Trump campaign? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, we love Trump, we believe in him, and we want to make sure it goes right this year. | |
| So we're going to do everything that we can to make that happen. | ||
| We get to count the votes right in front of everybody. | ||
| See, I love that. | ||
| You get to count the votes instead of having it in a machine. | ||
| David, tell me, you guys have been working basically as a caucus captain. | ||
| Your objective, your job, is to get people out to caucus for President Trump. | ||
| What's been the reaction? | ||
| How is that going as far as what your expectations were, David? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Better than expected. | |
| Everybody really wants this world back the way it should be. | ||
| And we're doing our part. | ||
| God's picked him. | ||
| We're both ordained ministers. | ||
| We have miracles all over the country and other countries. | ||
| And God spoke to our heart that he wants him, so we're gonna do our part. | ||
| Well, when you get the word from the big guy, you're in pretty good shape, right, Patricia? | ||
| So look, I mean, you know, my main concern here, I asked Don Jr. | ||
| what's keeping him up at night about this caucus. | ||
| There's one concern I've got, and that is the weather. | ||
| A lot of your people are new. | ||
| If it's windchill 10, 15, 20 below, how confident are you you can get your people out on Monday night? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because Trump people are loyal. | |
| They're going to come no matter what the weather is. | ||
| The other people might turn back. | ||
| We're hardy people and we live in Iowa, so we'll be there. | ||
| So you're accustomed to this? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| When you're talking to people and you get them to come to the caucus and they agree to go on the list, do they give you reasons? | ||
| Like, what is the main theme, Patricia, that you've heard? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, there's so many reasons. | |
| I know that people are concerned about the border. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| They're concerned about their finances and they just, they want, they've seen the track record that Trump has and they know that he's a good guy and he's going to do the right thing. | ||
| He's already had a proven track record. | ||
| We're not buying into some new thing again. | ||
| We're going to get it back better than it was. | ||
| We had the biggest tax cut. | ||
| We had the most closed border ever and he was going to close it all off. | ||
| So we already know what's going to happen. | ||
| So, we were talking earlier about the expectation game, the state-run media, that's what I call them, the fake news, whatever you want to call them, many of them here tonight, the narrative is already written. | ||
| Whatever the outcome is, they're going to say he underperformed, right? | ||
| If he gets anything under, what, 75%? | ||
| They'll say he underperformed, Haley did better than expected, blah, blah, blah, right? | ||
| We all know that's coming. | ||
| They've already got everything written on their talking Just what the Bible says. | ||
| their articles all they have to do is hit a button regardless of what the results are how you guys gonna deal with that when no matter what you do you're gonna be told you want to perform because that's what they're gonna do just what the bible says we declare what we want to see and we don't agree to none of the other baloney Ha ha ha ha! | ||
| I finished your word. | ||
| Either way, it starts with a B. Right, it starts with a B. Alright, I get it. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| So, having taken, how did you decide to become a caucus captain? | ||
| That's a pretty big job in a big county. | ||
| What inspired you guys to do that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
We just truly believe in Trump, and we want him to win, and so we're going to do what we need to do. | |
| We put it in our hearts, because we were never into politics, really. | ||
| You weren't? | ||
| voters and then all of a sudden you got involved and now you're running the whole caucus people healed at every Trump rally really Right Sorry, well you guys are doing an excellent job. I want to thank you Well listen Patricia, thank you, God bless you God bless you guys. All right. Thank you sir David and Patricia Loggie. They are they are Warren County captains and | ||
| Doing their best to get Trump voters out now You know where I'm just asking everybody about the weather seems to be the consensus that people are going to turn out no matter what? | ||
| So you know I was a hearty people. We'll see what happens, but a lot of the Trump voters. This is why I'm concerned A lot of the Trump voters are new. | ||
| A lot of Trump caucus goers haven't been through this system before. | ||
| We went through this in 2016 when I was here. | ||
| We legitimately underperformed at a lot of these caucuses because our new people just didn't show. | ||
| I think the Trump campaign has learned from that experience in losing to Cruz in 2016. | ||
| And this, I've been here since Sunday night. | ||
| I've talked to tons of people. | ||
| We've been out and about now. | ||
| This 2024 Iowa campaign feels very different. | ||
| Very different than 2016. | ||
| Just like they understand now what they have to do to get their caucus goers out. | ||
| And they're basically, when they're making projections, it's almost like 2 to 1. | ||
| So if they say 200 people are going to show, they're figuring they'll get 100. | ||
| If they get 200, they are in excellent shape. | ||
| But the main thing about this is, folks, is Trump's lead is so significant, and so if you really want to look at what this polling is saying in Iowa, and forget the caucus results, it's saying that Republicans here in Iowa are done with the status quo. | ||
| They're done with the establishment. | ||
| They're done with DeSantis. | ||
| They're done with Haley. | ||
| They're done with the globalists. | ||
| They're done with The donors, Wall Street, the gangster banksters. | ||
| This, from talking to people, this is the greatest populist movement now I've ever seen. | ||
| Everybody knows where I stand. | ||
| I've been a populist forever. | ||
| I never met a tariff I didn't like, so I want to bring tariffs back. | ||
| But this is very different. | ||
| People now understand. | ||
| We're going through an invasion. | ||
| Our jobs got shipped, like Don Jr. | ||
|
unidentified
|
said. | |
| They got shipped overseas for cheap labor. | ||
| Right? | ||
| We've experienced the most unholy alliance of all time between the big donors, the gangster bankers that scour the globe for cheap labor to screw working people so they can get bigger bonuses, make more money, and the democrat communists that just want votes. | ||
| This is all Obama. | ||
| This is the Obama doctrine. | ||
| He said, give me 30 million new people. | ||
| Give me new voters. | ||
| I'll transform this country forever. | ||
| I will erase its history and start over with my communist vision. | ||
| That's basically what's happening here. | ||
| And Donald Trump Jr. | ||
|
