This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people. | ||
I got a free shot at 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? | ||

MAGA Media. | |
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. | ||

Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? | |
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. | ||

War Room. | |
Here's your host, Stephen K. Baff. | ||
It's Tuesday, 12 November in the year of our Lord 2020. | ||
It's one week. | ||
Man, has that been a fast week. | ||
One week from the massive victory, all hands on deck, massive victory we had a week ago. | ||
Remember that. | ||
And we would have liked to celebrate in all seriousness. | ||
You know, it's great to do that. | ||
Some people are going to do it longer than others. | ||
But the cadre, this vanguard, we have work to do. | ||
A lot of work to do. | ||
Because you not just must secure the victory. | ||
One way to secure the victory is we have to turn the country. | ||
Look, winning is one thing. | ||
It's fabulous. | ||
It's fantastic. | ||
But that just gets you to the next step. | ||
The next step is actually where you take control of the government and put your people in and then start to implement your policies and it's going to be a fight every day. | ||
You can see this. | ||
One thing on the investigations, the hunted are about to become the hunters. | ||
I don't care if the left tears their hair out. | ||
You know, they have guys on every night on TV saying, oh, I'm advising my clients to leave the country. | ||
Well, then leave the country. | ||
Drudge every day is putting up a thing. | ||
More wealthy people are looking to go, hey, then go. | ||
This is a free country, or we're going to make it a free country. | ||
It used to be. | ||
It wasn't under Biden. | ||
These radical Democrats are Nancy Pelosi. | ||
But you can make choices. | ||
If your choice is you want to leave the country, then leave the country. | ||
Go. | ||
Go in peace. | ||
And sin no more. | ||
Just go. | ||
Don't sit here and whinge about it. | ||
No whining. | ||
We don't like whiners. | ||
We like fighters. | ||
Even the opposition will like fighters. | ||
So stop whining and just leave. | ||
Now, for those of you who stick around, hey... | ||
If you've committed crimes and conspiracies and criminally come after President Trump and J6ers and folks praying the rosary in front of abortion centers and parents going to school boards and folks that are trying to make sure there's not this radical pornography in the libraries of schools. | ||
So for the FBI and the Justice Department and all these different departments and the White House and all this collusion, hey! | ||
It's going to go where it's going to go, but it is going to be investigated. | ||
I know that every night, oh, this is retribution. | ||
It's not retribution. | ||
We don't have time for revenge. | ||
The revenge here, remember, I think it's Shakespeare. | ||
Vengeance is a dish best served cold. | ||
Might be Marlowe. | ||
President Trump's revenge is going to be a great second term, and that's why we like having Scott Besson and Peter Navarro and E.J. Antoni To thread the needle on the economy side is not going to be easy, folks. | ||
unidentified
|
I realize a lot of people say, oh, MAGA, MAGA, we're going to do this. | |
Hey, take a deep breath. | ||
We live in a complicated world, and the Biden regime with, I don't know, their $8, $10, $12 trillion of debt have buried us. | ||
Don't think President Trump's going to wave a magic wand and it's all going to be better. | ||
President Trump is a very smart businessman. | ||
He understands capital markets. | ||
President Trump is gonna get a very tough, smart team around him that are gonna be able to not just make policies but then convince the capital markets that these are growth policies. | ||
It just doesn't happen magically. | ||
Got the debt ceiling that we hit in the first week of the administration, I think it is. | ||
You have the government runs out of money on Christmas Eve or December 20th. | ||
They're going to kick in next year. | ||
President Trump's got to make all those decisions. | ||
And, you know, Elon Musk has promised us a trillion dollars of waste, fraud, and abuse from AI. I'm a little skeptical. | ||
I think he got cut out programs. | ||
But, hey, I'm open to that. | ||
You do that, bro. | ||
I'm all in. | ||
Let's say that doesn't happen. | ||
Then you've got to start making kind of good old-fashioned, take-the-program-out cuts. | ||
Also, you've got the tax cuts all reverse. | ||
This is not a random occurrence. | ||
This just didn't happen. | ||
This was all planned. | ||
This is one of the reasons McCarthy's gone. | ||
Because he actually teed Biden up for this. | ||
To all this all kind of come at the same time. | ||
So President Trump has a very – he's got to really – he's got to thread the needle with a very smart and tough team. | ||
And there can't be any games here because New York City, the capital markets, the global financial capital is what I call a town without pity. | ||
When it comes to capital markets, right? | ||
So you got to be very, very, very precise and really back it up. | ||
And President Trump has got a tough road to hoe. | ||
But if you ever had any one guy that could actually pull it off, it's Donald Trump. | ||
And I think that's what's so providential. | ||
At the same time, commence the mass deportations. | ||
And you just saw Eric Prince saying, hey, on that other side, we do investigations. | ||
How do we get this invasion in the country? | ||
These NGOs all worked hand in glove with the government. | ||
They're all taking money, taking money from the government. | ||
Also, big donors like the Reid Hoffmans of the world. | ||
And Reid Hoffman, he's all worried. | ||
They got a big article on Semaphore. | ||
Reid Hoffman and the biggest donors in the Democratic Party are really scared about Trump. | ||
You ought to be scared, bro. | ||
You ought to be scared. | ||
Because you're going to be thoroughly investigated. | ||
Everything you guys have done to the country, every backdoor deal you've done, all the money you put into state elections, what you've done to this country, what you've done to exacerbate, to initiate and exacerbate an invasion of our country with 11 million to 15 million illegal alien invaders. | ||
Remember, I'm precise in my language. | ||
I'm not talking about anybody that came here before the afternoon of the 20th of January 2021. | ||
I'm pretty adamant we should deal with that first. | ||
We should deal with what Biden did to the country. | ||
Let's get that out of the way first. | ||
Then we can sit down and figure out the rest of it. | ||
And I think in the media, they're mixing the matchup. | ||
They want to confuse the situation. | ||
We have to be very, very, very precise. | ||
And with Tom Holman and Steve Miller, you've got two brothers that have worked this precinct before and they know what they're doing. | ||
I might add on the politics of it, folks, what did Cortez and I talk about for years? | ||
What's the place called? | ||
The Rio Grande Valley? | ||
Guess what the Rio Grande Valley is today? | ||
It's red. | ||
It's Trump country. | ||
And why is it Trump country? | ||
Which we said over and over and over again, that hardscrabble place, it's got some beautiful parts of it. | ||
Parts are very hardscrabble down there in South Texas. | ||
Those are good people. | ||
And those people are the ones at the front line have been abused because the wall was not built and people are allowed to come across. | ||
President Trump worked for them. | ||
He fought for them. | ||
That shows you the future of the country with the Hispanic vote. | ||
You stand up for people as citizens, they're going to respond. | ||
But Jack Posobiec, we have our work cut out for us today, brother. | ||
That's the United States Senate. | ||
And let's talk about that for a second because this has been a bastion of never-Trumpism. | ||
Let's be blunt. | ||
Let's lay the cards on the table and have a partner's discussion with the war room posse. | ||
This is all about Mitch McConnell. | ||
Mitch McConnell, the donor class over there, the big shots, the big wigs. | ||
They hate Trump. | ||
They've always hated Trump. | ||
They've gone out of their way to block Trump. | ||
When I left the White House, the first interview I ever gave was 60 Minutes. | ||
And I gave a three-hour interview I made them put up all online so they couldn't edit around it. | ||
They gave me two segments. | ||
I had 40 minutes, two 20-minute segments on 60 Minutes. | ||
At the time, the producer, in the 30 years, said the only other guy we gave that to was John Gotti. | ||
Go figure. | ||
And what did I say in that interview? | ||
I said, hey, I'm leaving the White House because President Trump needs somebody, he needs a wingman to take on Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell. | ||
Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell. | ||
Jack Posobiec. | ||
This is all about Mitch McConnell. | ||
We finally come down to it. | ||
This is Mitch McConnell's play to stay in power after we drove him out after the failure of the Ukraine vote. | ||
This audience, Charlie Kirk's Human Events Daily, we worked weekend after weekend after weekend on Ukraine funding, and it was a failure, and he decided he had to leave, he had to step down as leader. | ||
Now, what he's trying to do is hardwire a bunch of his flunkies to do his bidding to stop President Trump. | ||
Jack, is that not an accurate summary of what we are doing and talking about here about the Senate vote, sir? | ||
Well, Steve, thanks so much for having me on again. | ||
Yes, I'm down here in West Palm Beach, of course, monitoring all the situation here with the transition team and the new team that's being put together in terms of the cabinet, but also monitoring all the situation up at the United States Senate, | ||
where, by the way, I'd like to congratulate where, by the way, I'd like to congratulate my new Senator Dave McCormick, who is currently sitting at Senate orientation right now because he called the bluff from Chuck Schumer and said, I'm walking in because that's my seat. | ||
And he went and he sat down and Schumer blinked. | ||
He completely blinked. | ||
But I'll say something else. | ||
The American people, the people of Pennsylvania, the people, the seven swing states, the people of the majority, by the way. | ||
I don't want to hear anyone say silent majority ever again. | ||
We are the majority. | ||
The MAGA majority in this nation voted for a couple of things. | ||
They didn't vote just for one person or another. | ||
They voted for an agenda. | ||
They voted for an agenda that means Project Ukraine is done. | ||
It is finito. | ||
All the money, all the consultant class, all the warmongers, it's done. | ||
I don't want to hear any of this talk, by the way, about, oh, now we're going to send the NATO Peacekeeping Force. | ||
I said this last year that they were going to try to Syrianize the entire situation over there. | ||
What did I mean by that? | ||
NATO peacekeeping force, American boots on the ground, all this stuff. | ||
No, no, it's done. | ||
And we need a Senate majority leader who reflects the ideas and reflects the agenda. | ||
And I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but we have weighed and measured. | ||
We have weighed and measured the candidates for this position, and some have been found wanting. | ||
That's why you can't have one of these guys who has never stood with the American people before on any of these key issues. | ||
And it's not just Ukraine. | ||
There's a variety of things out there. | ||
Obviously, the border being first and foremost for Americans. | ||
Then it comes to the issues of tariffs. | ||
It's going to come to the issue of... | ||
All of these things are going to come into play. | ||
Not, by the way, the tariffs is, that's the play against China. | ||
The deportations are the play for the American people, but it's all economics. | ||
We are revising the America. | ||
America first economics means this. | ||
We are not going to be a global empire anymore. | ||
We are going to be the strongest and most powerful nation state on the face of We're not going to be the top cop anymore, running around, getting into everybody's business. | ||
No, that's not the play. | ||
The play is become the strongest and most powerful nation state. | ||
And as President Trump has been saying for 40 years, we will demand the respect of the people around. | ||
So when it comes to the Senate, that's great. | ||
We've got Dave McCormick there. | ||
We've got some other people that I wish were there that I don't know if they're going to be there or not. | ||
We'll see. | ||
A vis-a-vis Arizona. | ||
But when it comes down to it, these people, Thune and Cornyn, Cornyn, who was booed off the stage of his own Texas Republican Party not two years ago. | ||
We've got the video up on my Twitter again to show people that these guys don't They don't support and they don't represent the people of the states that they're with. | ||
And that's something that people really need to understand. | ||
Because you get these guys in these safe R states, these solid red states, and they walk up there, they put on a – and I'm just going to say it. | ||
They'll put on a cowboy hat and they'll walk around and post some video of, oh, I'm shooting a sick shooter. | ||
I'm one of you. | ||
I'm one of you. | ||
And then they go in the Senate and they start cutting deals with all the lobbyists and all the military industrial complex. | ||
And it has to stop and it's going to stop now. | ||
Jack, can you hang over a second? | ||
I want to talk about the secret balloting. | ||
I'll talk more about Thune and Cornyn and what the options people have. | ||
202-224-3121 is the number of the main switchboard of the United States Senate. | ||
If you go get Grace, she helps you download Bill Blaster, the app. | ||
You get all the direct dial numbers. | ||
You can call their local office. | ||
Light them up today. | ||
Number one, no secret ballot. | ||
Number two, they have to come out and say who they're going to vote for. | ||
If there is a secret ballot. | ||
Number three, President Trump needs recess days. | ||
They've got to commit to 15 in the first hundred. | ||
Okay, 15 in the first hundred. | ||
And the last but not least, no Thune, no Cornyn. | ||
Okay, we're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
Birchgold.com slash Bannon. | ||
Gold is a hedge. | ||
It's been a great investment the last couple of years. | ||
Just mathematically look at it. | ||

Go check it out. | ||
Johnny Kahn of Breitbart takes us out with American Heart. | ||
Jack Posobiec's with us on the other side on a Tuesday in the War Room. | ||
unidentified
|
The greatest innovator, liberator, cultivator, freedom knows. | |
So I suggest you take a look inside Cause I think you've changed already You went and lost your pride Here's your host, Stephen K. Van Okay, welcome back. | ||
Jack Posobiec, lay out the case that has to be made today. | ||
We need the storm of the ramparts, right? | ||
We need the War Room Posse, we need Human Events Daily, the Charlie Kirk Show, all the audiences, vast audience of Real America's Voice. | ||
We need everybody up and on the phone talking to the staffs of the Senate. | ||
To let them know this is unacceptable. | ||
These are people that McConnell is trying to block President Trump and trying to block what President Trump's trying to do. | ||
Make the case of what specifically people have to do today, Jack. | ||
Well, Steve, it's as simple as this. | ||
And as you said over the weekend, we're putting out the call. | ||
It's general quarters. | ||
People need to get to battle stations. | ||
So general quarters, general quarters, all hands, man, your battle stations. | ||
That means it is time to get to work. | ||
It's time to get to your phones. | ||
It's time to get to your phones. | ||
Even in Pennsylvania, find a way to call McCormick. | ||
You know, we'll put out something on that. | ||
Call this campaign if you have to. | ||
And get in there and say, look, if you want to exit, here's how it works, folks. | ||
We can sit here and complain about the Democrats and we complain about the liberals and all the rest of them all day long. | ||
But at the end of the day, we are not effective lobbyists for ourselves. | ||
You have to become a lobbyist for yourself. | ||
We need to become, the war room posse needs to become the lobbyists for the American people. | ||
And you've got to think like a lobbyist. | ||
And to think like a lobbyist means you have to affect influence on your own lives. | ||
If you can affect influence, if you can affect leverage on your own side, then you have become an effective lobbyist. | ||
It's not about what we can affect. | ||
I could post memes about AOC all day and I probably get lots of retweets, but that's not actually affecting how anything works. | ||
So that's why it's all about digging up the receipts on Thune, digging up the receipts on Cornyn, and then getting your phone calls in out there and saying, this is what I'm doing. | ||
I've been going on Twitter and exposing some of the political operatives, by the way, that have been behind some of these choices out there. | ||
And by the way, Steve, I do also want to say, just for a second story, So we need everybody out there doing that. | ||
We need everybody out there manning the phones, manning the ramparts, get it up there. | ||
Just be that squeaky wheel. | ||
I know people want to relax and celebrate and pop the wine corks and pop the champagne. | ||
It's not time for that. | ||
It's time to do work because if you don't do that, The MAGA agenda, the American First agenda, will be stolen out from under you like a rug. | ||
And Steve, I just want to say, there's a lot of speculation that Poso's down here because I might be working with the transition team, but I want to just put that to bed right now and say, no, that's not why I'm down here in Palm Beach. | ||
The reason I'm here, Steve, is that I'm putting together a team of investors, and we're taking a look at a certain property that's going to be coming up pretty soon. | ||
We're looking at purchasing MSNBC because I'm telling you, that thing is going up in a Fire sale, 50% down in ratings. | ||
Joy and Reed down 60%. | ||
So the way I look at it is, hey, this is prime position. | ||
Jack Posobiec, CEO of MSNBC 2025. | ||
We're going to call it MSNBC 2025. | ||
And I'm going to be the main primetime host. | ||
What do you think? | ||
By the way, we're going to keep Joe and Mika. | ||
We're going to keep Joe and Mika. | ||
We're keeping them. | ||
No, but we're renaming the show Morning Mika. | ||
Immediately, we're going to rebrand it. | ||
Exactly. | ||
And she's going to get more pay. | ||
Mika, you've been enslaved over there long enough. | ||
Mr. | ||
Roberts on line two for Mr. | ||
Persovic. | ||
I think the Roberts would take a bid right now, Jack. | ||
You don't have to raise too much money because I'm not sure it's going to sell for much. | ||
No, it's a fire sale. | ||
Jack, is that true to the rumor? | ||
Go ahead. | ||
Continue on. | ||
No, look, we got Elon Musk down here. | ||
He's already got X. I think he needs a cable platform. | ||
I'm just saying, I think he needs a cable platform to go with it. | ||
Jack, first of all, on McCormick, Benny Johnson put out the whip count. | ||
I want all the senators to know we're going to get your vote. | ||
So when the Warren Posse calls, you say, yes, of course I'm going to come out publicly and announce who I'm voting for. | ||
I'm not going to hold it because Benny Johnson's got it. | ||
But there's some bad news. | ||
Doesn't he have Dave McCormick as voting for Thune? | ||
Isn't Dave McCormick at least listed in the whip counts voting for Thune? | ||
And Benny says that is 100% correct. | ||
He's gotten a lot of grief for that. | ||
So, Posobiec, you helped drag McCormick across the line there and all the folks in Pennsylvania, all the Warren Posse that worked like crazy for President Trump. | ||
Are they going to be too excited about him voting for John Thune? | ||
Well, Steve, let's just say that, you know, I mean, he's in orientation now, and I understand it takes a little time to get your bearings there in the United States Senate. | ||
So I trust that our senators, and especially our newly elected American first senators, are going to do the right thing for the American nation. | ||
And Benny Johnson, the guy has impeccable sources, and so I'm sure that is exactly what his source told him. | ||
But, you know, these whip counts, that's why they need to whip, because it doesn't always end up being the exact vote that comes out. | ||
So this is the entire point that we're talking about here. | ||
Not just one vote or another, it's all the votes. | ||
It's all the people of all the states going to your senators where you have a red senator. | ||
And by the way, if you are in a state that is a solid red state, I hate to say this, but typically you guys have the worst senators with the exception of base Mike Lee. | ||
because typically you guys are the ones who have the senators that, like I was just saying before, they sit up there, they just, they put on the cowboy hat once every six years and say, I'm one of you. | ||
They get elected and then they go back to doing whatever the lobbyists and the special interests want. | ||
And we can't have that anymore. | ||
You need to put pressure on them. | ||
I don't care if, oh, he looks like me and he talks like, no, no, none of that. | ||
None of that. | ||
This is the real fight right now, because this is not just the Senate majority leader, it's the Senate leadership fund. | ||
And the Senate leadership fund, the money will... | ||
Look, let's talk about how the Senate leadership didn't get involved in Carrie Lake's race in Arizona. | ||
Let's talk about all the money they were dumping into Maryland, a sapphire blue state, all the way on the East Coast. | ||
There was no chance of Larry Hogan ever winning, and they put money there. | ||
They didn't put money behind Carrie. | ||
Look, if you want the Senate to get more MAGA as President Trump's second term and potentially the next eight years following to get more MAGA, that's why you need control of the purse strings of the Senate Leadership Fund. | ||
This is where the money comes through. | ||
This is how it all works out. | ||
So if you want the real MAGA trifecta, we need to get our people in places that matter. | ||
It's even beyond comprehension we're having this discussion. | ||
I mean, it burns me up so much. | ||
This is Mitch McConnell and the big donors. | ||
This is the last bastion. | ||
They're fighting a rearguard action. | ||
It's the parting shot. | ||
It's the parting shot. | ||
Jack, you are on fire, brother, on Twitter, your show, all of it. | ||
Where do people go to get content 24-7 from Jack Posobiec? | ||
Because he's putting it up 24-7, including on Telegram. | ||
Yeah, no, we love the Telegram, by the way. | ||
Shout out to all the hot dog throwers on Telegram. | ||
If you're over there, you know what that means. | ||
And then, of course, we've got the book, orderbulletproof.com. | ||
And by the way, I will say this about the Mike Waltz pick, that Mike Waltz's report on the J-13 situation at Butler, PA is included in full in Bulletproof. | ||
People can get that. | ||
And I certainly hope that Mike Waltz will be using his new position, if it is indeed confirmed, to further the investigation into Bulletproof and into Butler, PA, and everything that went down there, as well as into Ryan Wesley-Routh, who, by the way, his trial was just pushed back. | ||
It's now going to be in February. | ||
In fact, Waltz doesn't need to be confirmed because he's the White House Staff National Security Advisor. | ||
That brings up a very important point I wanted to end on. | ||
If the news is confirmed. | ||
If the news is confirmed. | ||
I'll confirm. | ||
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
Jack, is there any truth to the rumor that if you're offered a position in the White House, particularly in national security, that you would step aside from your media empire and your partnership with Charlie Kirk and Real America's Voice and, of course, your beloved war room, that you would actually step inside and serve your country once again, sir? | ||
Well, Steve, I love what I do right now very much. | ||
But let's just say that I get frustrated when I see our government not serving the needs of the American people. | ||
And I get frustrated when I see the lies coming out of the intelligence community. | ||
And let's just say when it comes to the intelligence community, I have a list of problems that need to be solved. | ||
And if President Trump is interested in seeing that list, I'd be more than happy to provide it to him. | ||
By the way, so liberals, progressives, let your head blow up. | ||
Jack Posobiec may be on a roll in official capacity. | ||
We'll watch that story closely. | ||
Jack, thank you so much, brother, for being on here. | ||
Say hi to Tanya and the kids. | ||
God bless these. | ||
I will. | ||
What a warrior. | ||
What a great young man. | ||
We're very fortunate. | ||
Speaking of Telegram, Carly Bonet, the Midnight Rider channel, only the best. | ||
Absolutely incredible. | ||
We also have our terrific Telegram channel. | ||
Telegram's amazing. | ||
Carly, I think she works. | ||
I think she may actually work harder than the war room. | ||
She's up like 20 hours a day. | ||
So make sure you go over there. | ||
Check it out. | ||
Also our channel. | ||
We've got so much. | ||
You download the podcast. | ||
We've got content all the time. | ||
Sign up for the newsletter. | ||
We're putting up show summaries. | ||
We've got Carrie Donovan writes up reports all day long. | ||
You've got Natalie and Jane. | ||
Everybody jumps in and piles in. | ||
So we've got tons of content. | ||
Grace has got the app. | ||
We've got all that. | ||
Also, I want to make sure we're very—how do I say this? | ||
I want to make sure financially that you're on top of things. | ||
Particularly, we need to rate the ramparts. | ||
Today, we need to rate the ramparts. | ||
202-224-3121. | ||
Call the United States Senate, your senator, and give them the old what-for. | ||
Hey, here's what I need you to do. | ||
I need to go public with your vote. | ||
I want the whole thing to be public. | ||
I'm not private. | ||
I want all the votes to be out there. | ||
But if they're still playing games, I need you as my senator to come forward and say who I'm voting for, who I'm supporting, because we need to weigh and measure you. | ||
Also, President Trump needs his recess days. | ||
That's for the Senate to recess. | ||
So he has the option, if he wants it, to make recess appointments. | ||
Shouldn't it be enough that CNN and MSNBC are in full meltdown in the New York Times? | ||
If they're in meltdown, it's a good thing. | ||
Let me just give you the law of the information war universe. | ||
If they hate it, then you obviously have to love it. | ||
And they hate it. | ||
So therefore, we love it. | ||
And President Trump deserves some days. | ||
Also, Mitch McConnell wants to connect. | ||
We drove him out of power, folks. | ||
The work you did, remember that weekend, the Ukraine vote? | ||

One of my favorites, Jim Rickards, joins us here in the world. | ||

|
Next. | |
Here's your host, Stephen K. Band. | ||
Okay, welcome back. | ||
Jim Rickards, one of my favorite people, one of my favorite contributors, joins us. | ||
Jim, first off, I want to put it in perspective. | ||
You actually, your team, your analytical team, I know, kind of called the shot of what was going to happen on Tuesday. | ||
Walk us through, in the run-up, what your thinking was, and how did you get to the called shot of, really, a Trump landslide, sir? | ||
Right. | ||
Thanks, Steve. | ||
We put this out, of course, before the election in writing. | ||
It was on TV, a couple other venues. | ||
We said 312 electoral votes for Trump, including Michigan. | ||
54 Senate seats and 224 House seats for Republicans. | ||
The actual result, 312 electoral votes for Trump, so we stuck the landing. | ||
53 Senate seats because of the Cary Lake situation. | ||
Looks like 222 House seats, 219 called, 3 pending where the Republicans So we basically got it as close as you can. | ||
It was the best forecast in the world. | ||
The point I make, I look at polls. | ||
We use polls as one of our inputs, but we don't stop there. | ||
And you had all these big names, you know, Nate Silver, New York Times, the rest of them. | ||
They were all too close to call. | ||
It was kind of wimpy. | ||
But what they were doing, they were looking at the polls, maybe Trump was ahead by one, one and a half points, maybe two, three point margin of error. | ||
They said, well, that's too close to call because we don't know where it's going to fall in. | ||
But when you get the poll results, that's just the beginning of the analysis. | ||
You have to ask yourself a couple questions. | ||
This is really how we do intelligence work. | ||
You say, okay, is that poll skewed? | ||
Are all those polls the same? | ||
Real clear politics, I don't fault them, but they take 20 polls and they weight them equally. | ||
Well, I don't. | ||
I say some of these are garbage, some of them have bad track records. | ||
Give some weight to the more recent ones, the more accurate ones. | ||
But then, say, do they skew? | ||
And skew is a lot of things. | ||
You know, do oversample Democrats, do oversample You know, certain ethnicities. | ||
How big is the sample size? | ||
Is it 800 or 1300? | ||
That makes a big difference, etc. | ||
So you can adjust for all of that. | ||
And then the third thing you ask yourself is, if it skews, which way does it skew? | ||
Well, that was kind of the easy one. | ||
They skew against Trump. | ||
There was a lot of evidence for that and in favor of the Democrats. | ||
Now, here's the bottom line, Steve. | ||
Even people who got that far, and that's, you know, that's... | ||
We've got a Bayesian technique, a pretty good analytical technique. | ||
They say, well, too close to call. | ||
There's a little skewed. | ||
Trump's going to, you know, seven battlegrounds. | ||
Trump's probably going to win four out of seven, or maybe five out of seven, but still not sure about Pennsylvania. | ||
That's not the right conclusion. | ||
If you skew, he's going to win seven out of seven, or he's going to lose seven out of seven. | ||
Again, you have to get the direction right. | ||
But once you say it's skewed and skewed against Trump, And you adjust for that, he's going to win all seven. | ||
So that was the basis. | ||
Actually, the more difficult ones were Arizona and Nevada, rather than the blue wall. | ||
You can see the blue wall was going to be all or none. | ||
And then I concluded it was going to be all, so he got all three. | ||
And then Arizona's quirky because there's a cesspool of when it comes to election integrity. | ||
And Nevada's tough, but we got those as well. | ||
So my point being, You can't just look at the polls close and shrug. | ||
You've got to keep going with the analysis. | ||
I use a lot of anecdotal evidence. | ||
Just talking to people. | ||
I mean, going around in places that you might think of as liberal bastions and talk to taxi drivers and waitresses and bartenders and, you know, chambermaids, whatever. | ||
And if you can't find anybody who supports, say, Kamala Harris, for example, that tells you a lot right there. | ||
Tell me about the outcome then. | ||
Geopolitically, capital markets, this is your expertise. | ||
This is why people go to Paradigm Press and get your newsletter. | ||
This is why Rick Hurds is known as one of the smartest guys around. | ||
Walk me through. | ||
So what? | ||
We had this big sweeping victory. | ||
The populist nationalist movement's on the rise. | ||
What does it mean geopolitically for the United States and what does it mean capital markets-wise? | ||
Well, a couple of things. | ||
Trump is very transparent about his economic program. | ||
So we don't really have to guess. | ||
We know what he's going to do. | ||
And just looking at the Got ten major appointments already. | ||
He's moving quickly. | ||
He's sticking with the MAGA message. | ||
Not just loyalists, but highly competent, highly intelligent, seasoned loyalists. | ||
That's a pretty good combination. | ||
So one thing Trump is gonna do, and this is kind of Robert Lighthizer, Peter Navarro, among others. | ||
He's gonna put very high tariffs on China. | ||
Now, here, first of all, that's a continuation of a policy where the United States thrived. | ||
With high tariffs, beginning with Alexander Hamilton all the way through the 19th century, really all the way up until the 1960s. | ||
So the idea that that doesn't work is not true. | ||
I mean, a lot of America's wealth came from that because they say, well, you know, foreign goods are going to be more expensive. | ||
Well, that's a couple of things. | ||
That's a one time thing. | ||
But then you have to look at the other side of the equation. | ||
You have to say yes, but we're going to have more high paying jobs in the United States. | ||
And the message to China, we're not saying China can't sell goods to Americans. | ||
We're saying you can, but you have to build them here. | ||
You have to make them here. | ||
And that's a big deal. | ||
So what that means is that China and others are going to jump over the tariff wall. | ||
You have to invest in the United States. | ||
What does that do? | ||
It increases the value of the dollar. | ||
Now, that's not inflationary. | ||
I love, you know, Trump was interviewing the editor-in-chief, I think, of one of the top editors of The Economist, John McElwaite. | ||
You know, the tariffs are going to cause inflation. | ||
And Trump says, well, they're not. | ||
But, by the way, how does it feel to have been wrong for 25 years? | ||
Which he was. | ||
I mean, the neoliberal consensus and the Americans have been wrong. | ||
But here's what happens. | ||
If you have more foreign investment in the U.S. and the dollar gets stronger, that's deflationary. | ||
That's not inflationary. | ||
You want to buy Swiss watches, French wine, Italian leather goods, German... | ||
Take a nice vacation. | ||
All of that is cheaper for Americans in a world where the dollar is strong. | ||
It doesn't mean the end of world trade. | ||
It just means that we're going to, first of all, create high-paying jobs in the U.S. And it's actually deflationary with a strong dollar. | ||
This was all in my book, Currency Wars. | ||
So, I mean, Trump is, I don't know if it's intuition or just common sense, really, in business sense, but this is a brilliant economic policy. | ||
But we can see it coming because it's been very transparent about it. | ||
Um, how tough, you know the city as well as anybody. | ||
I mean, you've worked in and out of government. | ||
How tough is it going to be for, like, Scott Besson and his economic team to implement his agenda financially and economically? | ||
How tough is it going to be to put America first national security policy? | ||
How tough is it going to be to simultaneously deport 11 to 15 million illegal alien invaders? | ||
The execution of this, Which is already starting now, Jim, with us trying to seize the institutions, but on the 20th officially starts with the first 100 days. | ||
And Susie Wiles already gave a speech where she says, hey, we've got two years. | ||
I think two years at the max. | ||
I think you've got to get it done in the first six months to the first year. | ||
How is this going to get done, Rickards? | ||
I'd rather be Scott Besant or Tom Homan or the governor of South Dakota, Kristi Nomi. | ||
I'd rather be any one of those than Kash Patel. | ||
Because the Treasury Secretary is very powerful, not much standing in the way. | ||
The Deputy Secretary of the Treasury, who's usually one for international affairs, that's the sanction headquarters. | ||
Wally Adeyama, who's deputy today, he's the guy who put all these sanctions on. | ||
14 rounds of sanctions haven't worked. | ||
The Russian economy is stronger, growing faster than it was before the sanctions were put on. | ||
But Scott's going to have a charge of that. | ||
There's something called the International Economic Powers Act of 1977. | ||
It basically lets the White House, and by extension the Treasury Secretary, be a financial dictator, in the good sense of the word, where you just have kind of unfettered power. | ||
I mean, this was passed during the Carter administration, but if there's an international connection, a national security connection, which is not hard to establish, you basically have dictatorial powers. | ||
Don't abuse it, but it's a very powerful position. | ||
He's head of federal finance. | ||
You can decide, what does the structure of the Treasury market look like? | ||
Do you want to do 30-year bonds, 30-day notes, five-year notes? | ||
You know, 30-day bills, rather, and five-year notes? | ||
You've got to think about that, but that's the kind of power he has. | ||
Same thing at DHS. People immediately think of the border, and they should, but that's a major intelligence agency. | ||
And you also control the Secret Service. | ||
They have a lot of power. | ||
Now, Cash has got a whole, at the CIA, a whole different ballgame. | ||
I worked there for 10 years. | ||
I've worked in a number of places. | ||
Every institution has a culture. | ||
You know, they say a fish stinks from the head down, for better or worse. | ||
You got to pick up on the culture and go with it. | ||
The CIA culture, you've never seen a more cloistered culture, partly because of the secrecy. | ||
If you can't talk to other people, you talk to each other, and they do. | ||
But they're also expert liars. | ||
I mean, if you're a really good spy, You're a good liar. | ||
You're operating under false pretenses, false identities, et cetera, et cetera. | ||
There's a lot of compartmentalization. | ||
They lie to each other. | ||
It's an interesting culture. | ||
Now, Porter Goss was a failure as director of the CIA. He came in with a whole entourage. | ||
He put a lot of people in their key positions, brought his team in, and they blew him out within, I think, less than a year. | ||
I mean, you've got the exact dates here. | ||
It was just a really matter of months. | ||
Hayden was very successful. | ||
One of the best spies I've ever met. | ||
But he got a really bad case of Trump derangement syndrome. | ||
And remember, he was a Bush appointee. | ||
But the Bush's name's on the door. | ||
You go to the CIA headquarters. | ||
It's the George Bush Center for Intelligence. | ||
So far from MAGA. But anyway, he kind of melted down. | ||
What I would do, I would start with the letter, the Hunter Biden laptop letter, Russian disinformation, October 2020 that came out, 51 signatories. | ||
Have a look at who those signatories are. | ||
I did it and compare it to the directors of Central Intelligence. | ||
Among the signatories, you had three directors. | ||
You had Hayden, Panetta, and Brennan. | ||
You had two acting directors, which is the same as director without the Senate confirmation. | ||
That was John McLaughlin and Mike Morrell. | ||
By the way, I know a number of them personally. | ||
One director of National Intelligence. | ||
One deputy director of national intelligence, Tom Finger, four chiefs of staff. | ||
Chiefs of staff is the gatekeeper to the seventh floor and also deals with personnel. | ||
So when you get down in the ranks, you had four CIA chiefs of staff who signed that letter. | ||
And the head of the, the dean of the Sherman Kent School of Intelligence, no one knows what that is. | ||
There's a university and an academic function inside the CIA where they train you how to do analysis. | ||
The dean of that also signed this letter. | ||
The letter was a lie. | ||
We know that. | ||
But the point is, why are they all signing up for this lie? | ||
And then think about how that permeates the agency. | ||
And then recall what James Jesus Angleton said. | ||
He was the head of counterintelligence inside the CIA. So a spy looking for spies inside your own agency. | ||
That's about as deep as it gets. | ||
And he called the CIA the wilderness of mirrors. | ||
Very accurate description. | ||
You're looking at a mirror, but you see an image over your shoulder, you turn around, there's another mirror, and you don't even know you get to an infinity of mirrors. | ||
That's the kind of mindset you're up against. | ||
So they'll lie to the director. | ||
So I would have two recommendations. | ||
Number one, and Hayden said this, kind of come alone, get to know who's there. | ||
The Habsburg family, they ruled, they were the most powerful family in Europe for 700 years. | ||
They had a motto. | ||
They said, listen to everybody, don't trust anyone, and decide alone. | ||
I think that's a little extreme. | ||
You've got to trust some people, but I'd be very, very careful about that. | ||
But the other thing, without disrupting the place that Kash could do, you can kind of, you know, think about it, you go to a ruin, you know, but the guide will tell you, this is nine civilizations, and they all collapsed, and they kept building on the old civilization. | ||
That's how they do the excavation. | ||
Think of the CIA today as a kind of ruined civilization, but it's still going on. | ||
Build a new one on top of it, you know, maybe a small group, 50 or 100 people. | ||
Open source intelligence has completely transformed it. | ||
So, you know, side by side with what you've got, and you can't quite make it go away. | ||
Actually, you can't make it go away. | ||
You could build something new with kind of an A-team, maybe just a couple hundred people who could do really good intelligence. | ||
So there are solutions, but I wouldn't go in there with a bulldozer because you'll get run off the road. | ||

Okay, we had a massive electoral victory. | ||
We're a long way out of the woods. | ||
You know that. | ||
We've got to take the country back and then sort things out. | ||

Okay, today's a workday. | ||
Charlie Kirk's going to pick up from here. | ||
Charlie's still down in South Florida. | ||
A couple hours. | ||
He's going to do a lot on the Senate. | ||
I actually think Scott Bessett may even be back during his show to talk about President Trump's economic policies, how he's going to finance his massive debt. | ||
Jack Bassoba's going to pick up after that. | ||
He's going to be talking about, wait for it, the United States Senate, because we've got to get to the ramparts. | ||
2-0-2. | ||
2-2-4-3-1-2-1. | ||
I've already heard. | ||
I've gotten a lot of blowback. | ||
They're not happy. | ||
You're upsetting them. | ||
Have you seen the quotes that have no attribution? | ||
They don't like it. | ||
They think you're bullying them. | ||
You're saying harsh things to them. | ||
You're talking to them that, hey, here's what we demand. | ||
We put you there. | ||
Here's what we demand. | ||
The Senate doesn't like that. | ||
They think they're above it all. | ||
Right? | ||
They think they're totally above it all. | ||
So they're sitting there. | ||
Who are these grundoons? | ||
No, the people with pitchforks have now come for you. | ||
We want transparency. | ||
We want to know, you know, Benny Johnson released this whip count, and guess what? | ||
There are a lot of people in that whip count that go in front of the microphone. | ||
I love President Trump. | ||
I support President Trump. | ||
I'm so glad I got his endorsement. | ||
I'm MAGA. I love MAGA. I embrace MAGA. I hug MAGA. I love President Trump. | ||
That's all they say all the time. | ||
And then you see the whip count. | ||
Whoop! | ||
Voting for Thune. | ||
unidentified
|
Oop! | |
Voting for Cornyn. | ||
And a bunch of them called back and said, Benny Johnson's wrong. | ||
We're not in the whip count. | ||
And I told every one of them, okay, I'm good with that. | ||
Will you come on the show and just say who you're voting for? | ||
Well, you know, I've got a scheduling problem. | ||
Let me get back to you. | ||
I've got to run. | ||
Yeah. | ||
It's the same old Washington game. | ||
Same old, same old. | ||
This is Mitch McConnell. | ||
This is the dead hand of Mitch McConnell. | ||
We finally got him tossed at his leader. | ||
But man, he still wants control. | ||
And he's got two puppets in Cornyn and Thune that he's going to control. | ||
And if you want to talk about a nightmare situation, and one of the folks in the engine room has spent 20 or 30 years on Capitol Hill, sent me a message during the show. | ||
Listen to this. | ||
I said, Steve, love it. | ||
Love the way you're getting fired at people. | ||
He says, let me tell you a nightmare. | ||
President Trump gets in there. | ||
And we've got Johnson, and he's got a two or three seat majority. | ||
And he got a Thune over there in the Senate. | ||
Dune's going to be calling some shots. | ||
And some moderates and never-Trumpers in the House are going to be calling some shots. | ||
We haven't worked for a decade to have this sweeping victory. | ||
Have you seen MSNBC? Look at the numbers. | ||
They're broken. | ||
We broke them. | ||
Their numbers are down two-thirds. | ||
You look at CNN. Nobody's watching. | ||
They're despondent. | ||
We broke them. | ||
Now we have to take advantage of breaking them. | ||
You have to seize control of the institutions of the government. | ||
One way you do it in the Senate is you must block every judge that Elizabeth Warren. | ||
Elizabeth Warren's smart. | ||
It's pretty tough. | ||
She gets it. | ||
She's back there saying, we got it every Sunday. | ||
We got all these billets. | ||
We didn't fill them. | ||
We need to get 20, 30, 40 anti-MAGA judges in there now. | ||
No, we must stop that. | ||
We stop that, we control the judiciary, the federal judiciary. | ||
unidentified
|
Yep, yep, and they know it. | |
If we fight hard now, we're going to get the House, maybe under new management, who knows? | ||
That's all going to be determined in the next couple of days. | ||
But focus on taking the MAGA agenda and really implementing it. | ||
And then the Senate, the number is 202-224-3121. | ||
You call and give them a piece of your mind. | ||
You know why you can give them a piece of your mind? | ||
Because you delivered. | ||
You worked every day for four years. | ||
It was you that delivered this victory. | ||
President Trump put himself out there and you had his back. | ||
You rang doors, you canvassed, you worked. | ||
You know how hard you worked. | ||
And we ain't taking no for an answer from a bunch of senators. | ||
Get up, get in their face, get in their grill. | ||
And if they don't like it, hey, tough. | ||
Tough luck, bro. | ||
This is a game, as they say in The Godfather. | ||
This is the business that we've chosen. | ||
