Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people. | |
| I got a free shot of 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 try 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 line? | ||

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. Band. | ||
| First, the system overrates intelligence. | ||
| Success in school is not the same thing as success in life. | ||
| The game is rigged. | ||
| The meritocracy has created an American caste system. | ||
| It has damaged the psyches of the American elite And it has provoked a populist backlash that is tearing society apart. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Gates ought to have this job because he understands criminality, and therefore he ought to put him in charge of the Justice Department. | |
| This is trolling the United States. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What's missing from this It's not just a question of competence and justice. | |
| It's a question of seriousness. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The U.S. government, like it or not, has an extraordinary influence and power. | |
| It reaches every part of our lives. | ||
| Tens of millions of people work for government at one level or another. | ||
| Where is the seriousness? | ||
| Where's the sense of stewardship? | ||
|
unidentified
|
These are not just appointments meant to troll. | |
| These are appointments meant to affect our lives on a daily basis. | ||
| I'm just struck by the lack of seriousness. | ||
| Richard, I don't think you understand the nature of the project. | ||
| The nature of the project is to destroy the government. | ||
| The framework that we all have, which is, you know, these are very important agencies, and they do very important work, and you need to make them better. | ||
| Why are we taking that seriously? | ||
| You know, it was a week into the Trump administration in 2017 when Steve Bannon said the thing about our goal is the deconstruction of the administrative state. | ||
| That is what they are doing now. | ||
| This is about tearing the government to pieces. | ||
| That's the goal. | ||
| That's what they're serious about. | ||
| They're not serious about making it better. | ||
| They're serious about tearing it down. | ||
| Let's start with that last one, coming after the election, of course, where it does seem like a lot of what fueled this Trump vote, and he saw gains across the board, was sort of an anger, a backlash, a populist anger at the nation's elites. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, first, thanks for summarizing a 12,000 word piece in 30 seconds. | |
| You guys did a fantastic job with that. | ||
| I wish I'd thought of that. | ||
| Brevity's our thing sometimes. | ||
| What's the big divide in American politics? | ||
| It's the diploma divide. | ||
| College educated people are now trending sharply to the left, to the Democrats. | ||
| High school educated people are trending sharply to the right, to Donald Trump. | ||
| And he rode a populist wave of anger from people with high school degrees and not college degrees. | ||
| But that anger flows out of something. | ||
| And it flows out of life in America right now. | ||
| People with high school degrees die nine years earlier than people with college degrees. | ||
| They're ten times more likely to die of opioid addiction. | ||
| They make much less money. | ||
| They're much less likely to marry, much more likely to divorce, much more likely to have kids out of wedlock. | ||
| If you ask people, do you have close personal friends? | ||
| People with high school degrees are two and a half times more likely to say, I have no close personal friends. | ||
| So I'm trying to describe a chasm in American society between those who have the advantage of a college degree and those who don't. | ||
| And that chasm was created by policies that segregated people by bogus categories. | ||
| And now the people who have been left out of that segregation system are revolting. | ||
| And as we talk about the appointments and all the things that are really important that we're talking about today, we need to address the deep structural issues that gave us Donald Trump. | ||
| An insightful piece, and it seems like he's assembling a team to do just that. | ||
| And this time, because he's now far more familiar with the levers of power in government, it seems like he has a much greater chance of succeeding than he did the first time around. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I think that's what's really striking here. | |
| First of all, he did tell us all this in advance. | ||
| We were talking about RFK Jr. | ||
| He literally said before the election that he wanted him to go wild on America's health bureaucracy. | ||
| So again, you know, the shock is that on some level so many people are shocked. | ||
| I do think, Jonathan, you and I have experienced this before, the distraction of the carnival, the theatrics. | ||
| Donald Trump is a serial picker of fights. | ||
| He's probably relishing all the attention to the controversies he's already generated in just one week. | ||
| But I think that can be a distraction from what the underlying goals are here. | ||
| Steve Bannon, you know, was practically gleeful in talking about the Gates pick the other day. | ||
| But he said something I think is really important. | ||
| He said, you know, he's going to be Donald Trump has picked a blowtorch for the Justice Department. | ||
| And you could say that almost all of these picks, in their own ways, are potential blowtorches for the departments that they have been chosen to lead. | ||
| And I think, to the extent there's an ideology, that's the ideology. | ||
| An ideology of burn it down, blow it up, you know, reinvent it. | ||
| And that plus personal loyalty to Trump himself. | ||
| A big lesson he took away from his first term in office. | ||
| It's Friday, 15, November, in the year of our Lord, 2024. | ||
| We are live from the Palm Beach Studios, the West Palm Beach Studios of Real America's Voice. | ||
| I want to thank the entire team here today. | ||
| My production team's down here, and of course, Parker Sig and the great team at Real America's Voice right there. | ||
| You're starting to see and I think understand that some of the smarter people on Centrist and on the left are really coming to grips with what's happened here. | ||
| David Brooks, remember David Brooks? | ||
| I did an interview with David Brooks right before I went to prison. | ||
| It was up on his Sunday column in the New York Times. | ||
| We'll try to pull that in a second. | ||
| They had a very ominous photo. | ||
| Look at that right there. | ||
| For the folks watching at home, See this? | ||
| Look at that ominous photo right there. | ||
| That looks pretty scary. | ||
| That's yours truly. | ||
| The purpose of the article, and I think the first line says, hey, if you ever felt what it was like to interview Trotsky, I | ||
| President Trump has been this instrument to really set right what the problems are in America, and they're very structural. | ||
| And now they're coming to grips with this kind of populist revolt. | ||
| And Brooks goes back, and I highly recommend – we'll figure out how you get it if you don't subscribe to The Atlantic. | ||
| But he's written a 12,000-word piece about this. | ||
| And it was what we were talking about yesterday. | ||
| This election kind of came down to the credentialed class. | ||
| And the credentialed class is the college graduates, but particularly the graduate school, the law schools, the business schools, the medical schools, where they think by getting these degrees that they're kind of better than everybody else. | ||
| And they have a group think where their group think is because of the universities that they go to and stamp them out, that they're closer to people in the west end of London than they are to the people in the western part of the country. | ||
| That they're closer to people in Milan or in Paris or in Shanghai or in Singapore. | ||
| The other credentialed elites are in Davos, right, the party of Davos, that they're closer to them in the way they think and kind of their framework of reality and how they think life should be and the structures of life than they are to the people in their own country. | ||
| President Trump's a nation-builder. | ||
| As a matter of fact, you know, in China right now, the Chinese people, they have a Chinese name for nation builder. | ||
| That's what they're calling Trump. | ||
| The Chinese people, Lao Ba Jing particularly, they love Trump because they see Trump as someone that's dedicated to building their nation like they want their leaders to build their nation. | ||
| That's where populism and nationalism comes together. | ||
| It's one of the reasons we keep saying, hey, if people come over here for college to become part of the credential class, no need to stay here in the United States. | ||
| We've got enough credential class, right? | ||
| Best to go back home and help make your country great again. | ||
| That's how the world – that's how we get peace and prosperity. | ||
| With every nation of the world, with their best and their brightest, working every day to make their own people and to make their own nations thrive. | ||
| David Brooks, you see the struggle that folks have with this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, all these disruptors, all these disruptors. | |
| It's called creation. | ||
| Creative destruction. | ||
| I think it came from Hayek or Schumpeter or one of these economists back post-war era about the process of kind of capitalism, the process of innovation, the process of going forward and making things new, a renewal, regeneration. | ||
| And that's what you're seeing here in the established order. | ||
| Of course, the established order Doesn't like it. | ||
| You know, Pat Cadell used to always quote the great Pat Cadell, who is one of our main guys early on in the struggle and unfortunately died back in, even before Trump was elected, back in I think 2015 he died, or 16. | ||
| Pat passed away, but he had done so much of the original polling and analysis to say that, hey, everybody thinks they're a forgotten man, a forgotten man or woman, right, in the United States. | ||
| The working class, the middle class think the elites no longer pay attention to them. | ||
| No longer pay attention to him. | ||
| He says if a movement comes along and a leader comes along and that leader actually addresses their concerns and particularly their economic well-being and stop these endless wars where their children are just being churned up in these endless wars, that movement and that leader will be ascended. | ||
| And that's what you've seen today. | ||
| You've seen the established order can't handle it. | ||
| They can't even think it through. | ||
| It's not that we've hid the football. | ||
| If you think about it, from the Tea Party movement, then to the rise of President Trump, really from the financial crash of 2008, and one of the reasons I got so involved in things really after 2008, a little bit before, but really after 2008, was the simple reason I said in every major financial crash in history, You have a populist reaction. | ||
| And you're going to have a populist reaction here because you have to. | ||
| You have to kind of balance things out. | ||
| So here we are in 2024 and it's like they never thought about it. | ||
| Because they never had the respect. | ||
| They've dismissed President Trump so much and his followers. | ||
| Because remember, you breathe through your mouth. | ||
| You're not worthy. | ||
| You're a deplorable. | ||
| You're a deplorable or you're a fascist or you're a Nazi or a garbage. | ||
| Think about everything you've been called. | ||
| But the most important things, they never actually had enough respect to actually look through and see what you supported and what you stood for in these kind of great values of the Judeo-Christian West. | ||
| In particular, this is personified in this nation. | ||
| Remember, America is not an idea. | ||
| America is a country. | ||
| America is a nation. | ||
| We have a border. | ||
| We have sovereignty. | ||
| We have people of every ethnicity and race. | ||
| We also have an economy. | ||
| But we're a nation. | ||
| And that's what the globalists didn't understand, the elitists. | ||
| So this is no longer Republican and Democrat. | ||
| I've said that for years and years and years. | ||
| This is globalist elites versus populist nationalists. | ||
| In the nation, as it was laid out, we had a choice. | ||
| The left was very, this is democracy. | ||
| These guys are anti-democratic. | ||
| They're anti-fascist. | ||
| And President Trump went on a landslide. | ||
| He won a landslide. | ||
| The nation was able to weigh and measure, was able to weigh and measure these two alternative views of America. | ||
| They weighed and measured, and the American people said, we choose that. | ||
| Now, obviously, what has to happen now is we have to deliver on that. | ||
| And President Trump, in his first cabinet picks, Has shown that we are going to deconstruct the administrative state. | ||
| What I said on this stage at CPAC back in 2017, February 2017. | ||
| We're going to deconstruct the administrative state. | ||
| This fourth branch of government that the revolutionary generation and the framers of the Constitution, the founders of this nation, had no intention. | ||
| They would think, what in the hell is going on here? | ||
| That's going to be taken apart brick by brick. | ||
| We're going to get back... | ||
| To what the framers of the Constitution, the founders of this nation, the revolutionary generation, a limited government that maximizes freedom and opportunity, and a good old-fashioned word, liberty. | ||
| Okay, we're live today from West Palm Beach, Florida. | ||
| Johnny Kahn of Breitbart. | ||
| One of Andrew's closest buddies and a fabulous musician. | ||
| He's going to take you out with one of my favorite songs. | ||
| The anthem of the Tea Party, American Heart. | ||
| We're going to be back live in just a minute. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I won't apologize They say that we need changing As if all the founding fathers seem to get it wrong But I say I still believe in 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. Mann Okay, welcome back. | ||
| We're at the West Palm Beach Studios, Real America's Voice. | ||
| You know, Mar-a-Lago is the summer, is the winter White House for President Trump. | ||
| I think the West Palm Beach studio may be the winter hangout for the Warren Posse. | ||
| A lot of guys down here, our production team kind of dig it. | ||
| One of the reasons they dig it, such a great crew down here in Palm Beach, Parker Sig, Rob Sig, everybody, and of course our own Dr. | ||
| Gina Loudon. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh gosh, it's just good to see you in the flesh, I tell you. | |
| Dr. | ||
| Loudon, we've been doing this for, you remember Johnny Kahn, I met you right after the 2008 presidential election. | ||
| In fact, it was about 16 years ago, I think today, on 15 November of 2008, there was a meeting in Chicago. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Meeting in Chicago of people that were put together by Dr. | ||
| Loudon. | ||
| And Rebecca Mansour, who was Sarah Palin's right hand, of people that thought that Sarah Palin would be a great president of the United States. | ||
| They just lost to Barack Obama and the whole Palin for president movement. | ||
| And she was kind of the Trump before Trump, right? | ||
| There's the populist movement was looking for a leader. | ||
| And we spent a couple of years. | ||
| She decided, I think in 2011, not to run for president. | ||
| I think a mistake, but she and Romney eventually won and got smoked by Obama. | ||
| But Good 16-year anniversary. | ||
| A lot of folks still with us today, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Still working. | |
| I wish Andrew Breitbart were still with us. | ||
| Oh, gosh. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Amazing. | |
| I feel like he looks down from above and he's clapping for you, Steve Bannon, and the War Room Posse. | ||
| What a warrior. | ||
| Trump, Breitbart, two warriors. | ||
| Tell me, one of the things about this creative destruction... | ||
| The deconstruction ministry is a spirit. | ||
| There's a new spirit. | ||
| You can feel it even in the run-up to election, but now you're spending a lot of time in Mar-a-Lago. | ||
| Tell the audience what that spirit's like. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's almost like the beginning of something that is, it really is a revolution. | |
| I mean, we have to call it that. | ||
| Someone said a bloodless revolution. | ||
| I said, no, there's been a lot of blood shed, a lot of blood shed. | ||
| President Trump got shot in the head. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, yeah. | |
| And you think about all the people that died during COVID. You think about our J6ers. | ||
| You think about the deaths on J6. I mean, there has been a lot of blood spilled. | ||
| On our side. | ||
|
unidentified
|
On our side, yes, absolutely. | |
| But it has been a revolution of sorts in a very positive way and one without an actual war-war where we're fighting in combat, right? | ||
| So we have to be—we have so much to be— Political warfare. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Of which we're winning. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And spiritual warfare. | |
| And spiritual warfare, absolutely. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Of which we're still contending and we need to keep contending. | |
| I think it's really important, Steve, that we take nothing for granted, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So tell me about Mar-a-Lago. | ||
| You can feel the spirit down there. | ||
| They're there. | ||
| They're selecting. | ||
| They're working 24-7. | ||
| Every now and again, there may be a party. | ||
| Maybe the president being DJ, right? | ||
| I noticed Dr. | ||
| Loudon a kind of bloodshot eyes this morning. | ||
| I said, what the hell is happening here? | ||
| I got in at like 4 o'clock in the morning. | ||
| They were dancing all night in Mar-a-Lago. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's true. | |
| But they're working there non-stop in the transition office in West Palm Beach and over at Mar-a-Lago going through. | ||
| Remember, we have 4,000 Folks to take over a bureaucracy that when you count the contractors, about $10 million for a $6.5 or $7 trillion federal budget that's going to be deconstructed. | ||
| Vivek and Elon are going to come in and start to make some cuts. | ||
| But we have 3,000 non-Senate confirmed that hit the deck plates running. | ||
| As I told you, the landing teams first, beachhead teams, and then guys coming in after the 20th. | ||
| But 1,000 have to be Senate confirmed. | ||
| But over at Mar-a-Lago, they're working away every day. | ||
| You can feel the energy even in the imperial capital of Washington, D.C. You can. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, folks last night, Sylvester Stallone. | |
| I mean, the list goes on. | ||
| I mean, you could really, if I start naming names, I'm just going to forget someone. | ||
| But Tulsi, you know, just all the people there gathered around, President Trump. | ||
| And the amazing thing, Steve, that I love is a lot of people, there are people jockeying. | ||
| I'm not going to lie. | ||
| You know this. | ||
| I'm sure you're getting the phone call. | ||
| When I see, the blood on the floor this time is not Mika with the facelift. | ||
| She came in, she put blood on my covers, the facelift. | ||
| The blood on the floor now is the knifing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But a lot of people walking around just almost in wonderment, seeing things like, wow, there's going to be no more DEI in the military. | |
| Wow, our border's going to be closed. | ||
| The cartels are going to be shut down. | ||
| We're going to be able to walk the streets in our cities again. | ||
| I mean, these kinds of things. | ||
| When we execute. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The dream big. | |
| The dream big dream is happening. | ||
| So, but you can feel a little underlying tension because that's the coordination for all the jobs. | ||
| Amazing announcements. | ||
| And more announcements coming to SEC will come in today. | ||
| I think Secretary of Treasury, NEC, FBI, Deputy Director of FBI. We have a couple of three dogs in those fights as we'll update you during the day. | ||
| But you can feel the energy, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
You can. | |
| I think HHS was really exciting last night. | ||
| It was amazing how he teased the Burgum appointment this morning last night. | ||
| Well, he made it last night. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's having fun. | |
| Governor Burgum is going to be Secretary of the Interior. | ||
| What a great pick that is. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Really, when you talk about energy, you know, Burgum is an oil and gas guy, knows it. | ||
| If you talk about energy, actually, Department of Energy is really nuclear power. | ||
| The better slot for Burgum was always Interior. | ||
| Because you've got the opportunities, the potential opportunities to kind of maximize the natural gas and oil possibilities and mineral possibilities of some of the great lands we have throughout the country. | ||
| So he's a great pick. | ||
| No, the president is a rare form. | ||
| Tell the audience about Stallone. | ||
| Stallone shows up and does what? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
| Well, of course, he called President Trump the next George Washington. | ||
| And I thought it was actually a very solid analogy. | ||
| I mean, he said George Washington, when he was being George Washington, didn't know that he was being George Washington, right? | ||
| He can't see. | ||
| He doesn't have the perspective we have today, just like President Trump can't even realize the impact that he's going to have on this country and this world, I think. | ||
| No, this is going to be known. | ||
| This is one of the reasons that Mika and Joe, in the credential class, as David Brooks talked about in our opening, they now have come to the realization, like Arthur Schlesinger named the time between the founding of the republic and the Civil War, the age of Jackson, about General Jackson and populism, which President Trump really kind of personifies. | ||
| This will be known as the age of Trump. | ||
| And that's what kills him. | ||
| And if you look at it, it's General Washington for the founding of the country. | ||
| Abraham Lincoln for the refounding of the country, right? | ||
| The Civil War that got the blight of slavery, the bondage, human bondage and slavery, and really remade the union into a real nation. | ||
| And they fought for the nation, fought for the union, and remade it. | ||
| And now President Trump, more than FDR, and I think he's risen up to that. | ||
| As I say, you have a first tier that's Washington, General Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Trump. | ||
| The second tier right below them are General Jackson, Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, and Ronald Reagan. | ||
| But this will be known as the age of Trump. | ||
| And that's what's so – the media can't understand his picks for DNI with Tulsi Gabbard, for attorney general with Matt Gaetz. | ||
| With HHS, with Bobby Kennedy, RFK Jr., Pete Hegseth over defense, and many, many more. | ||
| The ones now, but he's going to remake this government. | ||
| He's going to take the government apart, the administrative state part of it, and go back to what the founders wanted, which is limited government. | ||
| People have talked about it for years. | ||
| We're actually in the process of doing it, and the defenders of the established order That have grifted off that leviathan for decades and decades. | ||
| Of course they're upset about it, Dr. | ||
| Loudon. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, they're going to be upset. | |
| And, you know, it's what I always say and what you've always said, Steve. | ||
| Follow the money. | ||
| Every single person who does not understand what is happening right now or is standing around saying it's going to be terrible, these are the people that have some financial interest, whether it's the military-industrial complex, whether it's the censorship-industrial complex. | ||
| The list goes on and on. | ||
| The big pharma-medical-industrial complex. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Most importantly, Big Pharma and the hospitals and the American Medical Association that has completely corrupt endorsed masks, remember, endorsed the vaccine, on and on. | ||
| You know, they're going to lie about these appointments, every single one of them, but it's all provably untrue, the things they're saying. | ||
| And we've got the ear. | ||
| Honestly, we, the patriots, the patriot warriors, the war room posse, this audience has the ear of the American people right now. | ||
| You won this election. | ||
| We can win the narrative. | ||
| We have a mandate. | ||
| We have to deliver on the mandate. | ||
| And by the way, the old mainstream media, don't talk about it anymore. | ||
| We drive the media, the streaming services, the podcast, the social media clips. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We've become the mainstream media. | |
| Yeah, now it's time to deliver. | ||
| I don't want to say anything about our production. | ||
| I don't want to say anything about the lovely Dr. | ||
| Gina Loudon. | ||
| But I have to comment. | ||
| Bannon comes down here and we start and it's just kind of, you know, Dr. | ||
| Loudon hits the thing and I got lights going up. | ||
| I got a lighting. | ||
| I got grips and gaffers all around. | ||
| You show up and they got to get the lighting perfect. | ||
| You're the new Carrie Lake. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Carrie was there last night. | |
| She's amazing. | ||
| And she's in very good spirits. | ||
| I know you've talked to her. | ||
| She's in very good spirits. | ||
| And I wanted everybody to know that. | ||
| Very happy. | ||
| Very excited about this. | ||
| She's got to get a significant role in this administration, I think. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think so, too. | |
| Carrie brings her own lighting. | ||
| You bring your own lighting? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, this is what these guys do. | |
| And I'm telling you, these guys, I'm not lying, Steve. | ||
| They work 20-hour days. | ||
| These guys are amazing. | ||
| The only reason I got the lighting is because you showed up. | ||
| Before, it was a little dark, right? | ||
| It was a little dark. | ||
| That's okay. | ||
| Ben didn't look that great in the morning anyway, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
You look great! | |
| Do I? Do I? Yeah, you look great. | ||
| Keep saying that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We are so happy that you are here. | |
| Like I said, in person, where we can touch you and know that you're actually here. | ||
| 16 years ago. | ||
| Today, I think it was. | ||
| It was right after the defeat of Obama beating in the middle. | ||
| The financial crisis just started the collapse of Lehman Brothers. | ||
| It just happened in September. | ||
| Sarah Palin came out of that, and Sarah Palin had a populist back. | ||
| Remember, the Tea Party had not been formed. | ||
| It was the following April 15th of 2009 was the first day of the Tea Party. | ||
| But the beginnings of the Tea Party revolt, the beginnings of this populist revolt, The first kind of awakening of the American people was really Sarah Palin's vice presidential campaign. | ||
| And then afterwards, two people, Dr. | ||
| Gina Loudon and Rebecca Mansoor really pulled that together. | ||
| And that was the kind of the tea party before the tea party. | ||
| The tea party launched, what, five or six months later in April. | ||
| And then, hey, tea party rolled, had some wins, had a couple of three defeats. | ||
| And then President Trump came down the escalator. | ||
| In June of 15th. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||

| General Mike Flynn, one of the original Patriot Warriors, joins us next live. | ||
| In the War Room. | ||
| Back in a moment. | ||

|
Back in a moment. | |
| The idea of authoritarian, the authoritarian promise is that everything shrivels in government other than the will of the leader, right? | ||
| So you don't necessarily put a Robert F. Kennedy Jr. | ||
| in charge of HHS because you're hoping for great things from HHS. I mean, Matt Gaetz, among all the other things we can say about Matt Gaetz, he has explicitly proposed abolishing I mean... | ||
| The idea that Tulsi Gabbard, in a normal circumstance, could get a security clearance to be a Walmart-style greeter at any U.S. intelligence agency, let alone get past the security barriers, is insane. | ||
| So you do that because you want the worst for these agencies, because you want the worst for the U.S. government, because you think that the U.S. government is worthless. | ||
| That's part of consolidating power, to make the U.S. government nothing other than the leader and people who will do what he says. | ||
| And there not being any repository of expertise, let alone just generally. | ||
| Repository of expertise, the credential class. | ||
| Okay, Rachel Maddow, your hatred. | ||
| Do you hate, first of all, Tulsi had a clearance as a congressman. | ||
| More importantly, she's a lieutenant colonel. | ||
| In the Army Reserve, she's deployed a number of times. | ||
| She's a hero. | ||
| She's got a high security clearance because she earned it in service to her country. | ||
| Something you've never done, ma'am. | ||
| You hate her because she's a woman of color. | ||
| You hate her because she's not a lesbian. | ||
| You hate her because she's not a left-wing progressive. | ||
| She was on the left for a while and now she's full MAGA. Is that why you hate her? | ||
| Rachel Maddow, you are the epitome. | ||
| Of why the Democrats lost, okay? | ||
| We put your version of democracy up versus Maggie's version of democracy. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| You lost. | ||
| You got crushed. | ||
| And David Brooks lays out today, you repulse people. | ||
| You're repulsive. | ||
| You're repulsive. | ||
| General Mike Flynn, Rachel Maddow, the credential class going after a hero, a patriot, a warrior, someone's defending their country like Lieutenant Colonel Tulsi Gabbard. | ||
| Yeah, not only, I mean, so security clearances aside, I mean, Tulsi had one as a sitting congresswoman. | ||
| She's had one as a lieutenant colonel in the United States Army. | ||
| This person hides behind the mask of an organization that has been lying and attempting to deceive the American people, and it failed. | ||
| These people are a bunch of losers. | ||
| You know, one of the things that I want people to understand is that this is a, you know, you just had Gene Loudon on there, you're talking about a revolution, and you just highlighted three I call them arcs of history, Steve, because we are in a revolution right now. | ||
| The first real arc of history is when we had the revolution, right? | ||
| The revolution to form this country. | ||
| George Washington was the leader. | ||
| The second big arc of history where it was existential to our nation was the Civil War, and we had Abraham Lincoln as our leader. | ||
| You see what they did to him at the tail end of his presidency. | ||
| And now we're in this third arc of history. | ||
| Between the Civil War and now, we've really not faced an existential threat to our country, and we just went through it. | ||
| And in this arc of history, we have Donald J. Trump leading this revolution because this is a revolution. | ||
| The major part of this revolution is, you know, sort of the war of narratives, right? | ||
| The information revolution that we are involved in. | ||
| Clearly, clearly, and I've been, you know, preaching this for the last four years, there is a spiritual battle that's ongoing. | ||
| People like Rachel Maddow, I mean, these people are anti-everything that matters to this country, and they just can't stand the fact that Donald Trump, as you said earlier, you know, he is going to deconstruct He's going to deconstruct the federal government and he's going to use people like Elon and Vivek and Bobby Kennedy and others, right? | ||
| I mean, some of his appointments have just been extraordinary. | ||
| When you start thinking about About what Trump's strategy is, when you really take a hard look at it, he's not only preparing this battlefield that is going to be, actually, I'm so looking forward to observing what is going to occur and also to help out where I can, but also he's preparing for the future battlefield. | ||
| And that, to me, is as important. | ||
| That's a visionary leader in President Trump, to be able to Choose people who are so capable of what they're going to do, but also to prepare for the future. | ||
| So talk to me about one of the heavy lifts here is going to be Tulsi. | ||
| That's why they're all over her because the 18, think about it, we have 18 intelligence agencies. | ||
| You don't think we need to deconstruct the administrative state into these states. | ||
| So she's in charge of 18. | ||
| Even the CIA, they all report up to her. | ||
| But then you've got FBI, hopefully today you may have Kash Patel in some senior position in the FBI, but you got the FBI, you got the Justice Department, legal part, kind of that merger of intelligence and the legal lawfare apparatus has come after us for the last four years, particularly the first guy in the hopper was General Mike Flynn, right? | ||
| So what is your guidance? | ||
| Because folks understand this at MSMEC, by the way, A couple of reporters last night called me after a couple of my rants and said, hey, we're getting text messages from a lot of the producers, particularly younger producers at MSNBC. And they're saying, is Bannon serious or is he just being Bannon, right? | ||
| I am 100% serious. | ||
| You know what you did with various people out there you had on shows. | ||
| You are part... | ||
| Of a vast criminal conspiracy against President Trump. | ||
| And that is going to be drilled down. | ||
| So here's what I tell you. | ||
| Call your mom and dad. | ||
| Sit down with a lawyer. | ||
| You might want to do it this weekend. | ||
| Walk through everything that you've done on these shows over the last couple of years. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| Walk through everything. | ||
| And hey, if the lawyer says you've got nothing to worry about, then hey. | ||
| You know, get some smart lawyers. | ||
| But preserve your documents. | ||
| Don't be shredding anything. | ||
| Go ahead, Mike. | ||
| What do you got? | ||
| I was just going to say that. | ||
| You know how many times, and you know this, how many times I've been asked to preserve my text messages, my emails, my phone records. | ||
| These people in the mainstream media that were part of this conspiracy, they need to do all that. | ||
| Another thing that I think, and I know it's happening because I was tipped off recently, and I've provided this back into some of the folks down where you're at, That they are going to do another one of these end rounds, just like Obama did, where they're going to hire like around 2,500 people. | ||
| And actually, the numbers are probably higher between the time the election ended and they found out what the results were and the time before Trump goes in, to include the Deputy National Security Advisor that was reported yesterday. | ||
| So these are people that are trying to move over into government positions to basically block and tackle and do all the kinds of things that the conspiracy that fell underneath the Obama administration directed by him. | ||
| But I have said very specifically, the tactical commander on the ground for this particular battle that we are facing is John Brennan. | ||
| There is no doubt in my mind, Brennan is in there and there are still others that are in that mix, but Brennan is one of the key guys. | ||
| For a person like Tulsi and Elon and Vivek, I mean, just in the intelligence community alone, I can tell you as many agencies as we have, there's that many communication systems, right? | ||
| So when you think about technology, you probably have two of the best people in charge of the Doge. | ||
| And just communication systems alone, the amount of money that is spent on just those. | ||
| So 17, 18, right now on this show, Would you be open to go over to DNI as Tulsi, as Lieutenant Colonel Gabbard's deputy to help? | ||
| Because it's a wilderness of mirrors. | ||
| Everybody, remember, the intelligence agency's stock and trade is misdirection plays, misinformation, and lying. | ||
| So it's not like you can just walk in these buildings and you're going to get it straight. | ||
| Would you be open to be her deputy or some sort of special assistant, at least for the first year, to make sure that she goes through the wilderness of mirrors? | ||
| Yeah, because part of, you know, so the answer is yes, but the part of this too, and this is what I told Vivek, okay, just briefly, that these people in government, they know how to hide, right? | ||
| And I call them wall walkers because they keep their eyes against the wall because they don't want anybody to actually engage them. | ||
| So, you know, those are all walking all over the Pentagon, but other buildings in the government. | ||
| So, These people know how to hide, and they know how to come in and give you presentation after presentation. | ||
| One of the things that they're going to do, and I want everybody to listen closely, for those that have been chosen for these really critical jobs, Tulsi's among them, Pete Hegg is another, whoever goes into the DOJ, the FBI, what they will do is they'll immediately come to you, and they're going to put security all around you, and they're going to set up a wall to block people from coming to you to give you the truth. | ||
| And then the next thing that they're going to do is they're going to come in with a whole series of briefings about what they're doing and what they're not doing. | ||
| Those that are chosen to lead these organizations have to refuse the line, right? | ||
| I mean, George Washington knew and he did this time and time again until he finally accepted the surrender of the British. | ||
| He damn near lost every battle because he kept fighting and he kept fighting and he kept sacrificing and he knew it. | ||
| And this is what it's going to feel like going into this battle. | ||
| I mentioned this the other day, Steve, and I think when we talked last week, this is D-Day plus one, folks. | ||
| Still, do not declare victory over Europe yet. | ||
| The troops are still arriving. | ||
| The 3,000 that you mentioned or the 1,000 hires that have to take place, I don't believe that it needs to be that many. | ||
| I frankly do not believe that it needs to be that many. | ||
| I do believe that the What's the first two or three things you would tell? | ||
| By the way, if Denver can keep that two-shot and maybe expand it, I can't look at Rachel Maddow anymore. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I know. | |
| Get rid of it. | ||
| Get rid of it. | ||
| No, no. | ||
| Literally, I've got an upset stomach. | ||
| Can somebody give me some Pepto-Bismol? | ||
| I can't look at it that much. | ||
| I put it up there. | ||
| I can't look at it. | ||
| No, I can't. | ||
| What are you doing? | ||
| Flynn, what are you doing with that? | ||
| She rained hell on this country. | ||
| And I want people to understand that I do not fear these people. | ||
| And I want people to, I want the MAGA movement, I want the populist movement in this country to be fearless. | ||
| We have got to be fearless against these things. | ||
| In fact, turn them off. | ||
| Get rid of them. | ||
| Get them out of our lives. | ||
| These people, like her, they hate this country. | ||
| They hate our Constitution. | ||
| They hate our principles. | ||
| They hate liberty. | ||
| They wanted to take everything away. | ||
| And I remind everybody again, had Donald Trump lost this election, he'd be going to prison for the rest of his life. | ||
| Many others of us, they would be coming after us. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| And you know what? | ||
| And I was ready. | ||
| I'm ready, Steve, as you are. | ||
| So we have to remind people what we're up against. | ||
| Enemy has a face. | ||
| If you're not prepared to go to prison, you're not prepared to lead this fight. | ||
| You're just not. | ||
| It's a reality. | ||
| Real quickly before I lose you. | ||
| John Brennan, tell people, because you're absolutely 1,000% right. | ||
| And I'm going to put Flynn on the John Brennan watch. | ||
| Give me two minutes or give me a minute on who John Brennan is and why it's so important that he be brought to justice. | ||
| John Brennan, member of the Communist Party of America, he was not only the assistant to President Obama for Homeland Security, he's also risen up in the Central Intelligence Agency as an analyst principally, not an operator. | ||
| He became the director of the CIA under Obama. | ||
| And now he's one of the, you know, he's one of the 51 letter signers. | ||
| That's something that is also going to, so John Brennan, you know, protect your communications there too, buddy, because we're going to be coming after them. | ||
| And John Brennan right now, he's floating around, right? | ||
| He's floating around. | ||
| He's floating around the world. | ||
| And he's undermining the current president-elect of the United States of America. | ||
| So my warning to John Brennan is, watch yourself, buddy, because, you know, what comes around goes around. | ||
| And what's going to happen is we get into the Department of Justice here, and all of these communications that we've been told to make sure we hold on to, you're going to be told to make sure that you hold on to them. | ||
| Okay, we recall Milley to active duty court-martial him on the start of the afternoon of the 20th. | ||
| Also, all 51, we start there. | ||
| 51, stripped of security clearance, stripped of their pensions. | ||
| They can take us to court if they want. | ||
| Also, a massive declassification dump on the afternoon of the 20th. | ||
| General Flynn, where do people go on social media? | ||
| Where do they go to get your podcast or your content, sir? | ||
| And go to GeneralFlynn.com. | ||
| GeneralFlynn.com is the best place to go. | ||
| And I'm posting on at GenFlynn on X a lot. | ||
| But go to GeneralFlynn.com. | ||
| I put up a newsletter there a couple of times a week. | ||
| And they can also watch the movie, too. | ||
| But GeneralFlynn.com. | ||
| You have right here... | ||
| We are in a revolution, Steve. | ||
| We're in a revolution. | ||
| I want people to understand that. | ||
| This is a war of narratives. | ||
| We won. | ||
| We won big time. | ||
| But now we got to press. | ||
| Press ahead, right? | ||
| Got to close it. | ||
| Press ahead. | ||
| All gas, no break. | ||
| General Mike Flynn volunteered to be the deputy at Tulsi Gabbard. | ||
| Short break. | ||
| Charlie Kirk is next. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Here's your host, Stephen K. Band. | |
| The great thing about coming to the West Palm Beach studio of Real America's Voice, you never know who's going to be here. | ||
| We want to introduce Charlie Kirk's here for the show that starts at 12 noon. | ||
| Charlie? | ||
| Great to see you, Steve. | ||
| Fabulous. | ||
| If it had not been for Charlie Kirk... | ||
| I don't think we'd be working so hard for transition. | ||
| What you guys did at Turning Point USA is absolutely historic. | ||
| Tell me about it. | ||
| Because I want to talk about that before we talk about transition. | ||
| Yeah, and look, I think it's actually worth telling the story because it was this remarkable journey where we decided that we wanted to try to turn Trump supporters into voters. | ||
| And you know this, Steve. | ||
| There are millions of people that support the Trump agenda, but they weren't necessarily voting. | ||
| And that was really the issue. | ||
| Yeah, they're low propensity, but they're not low information. | ||
| That's important. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| They're high wisdom, but they're low propensity. | ||
| These are plumbers, electricians, welders. | ||
| These are people that actually build the country, but they might not always know how to vote, where to vote. | ||
| And so what we did at Turning Point Action is we went and registered tens of thousands of them, found them, went to their homes, chased hundreds of thousands of ballots. | ||
| When you say ballot chasing, define that? | ||
| So ballot chasing is that every, for example, in Arizona, 85% of all voters get ballots. | ||
| It is finding the individuals that have ballots sitting on their kitchen counter and getting them in before the deadline. | ||
| Now, mind you, this means actually embracing early voting, which I know a lot of people didn't like, but it worked, guys. | ||
| It worked. | ||
| Why did it work? | ||
| Because we were able to get people that were not going to just show up on November the 5th. | ||
| On November the 5th, the likelihood of some of these folks... | ||
| You're not cannibalizing the... | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| It was new voters. | ||
| So it allowed us to expand the harvest. | ||
| And so when I talked to President Trump about this, he said, well, this is brilliant. | ||
| I said, yeah, you got 30 days now to go hunt, 30 days to go find these people. | ||
| So what we did is we hired 1,500 full-time people between Arizona and Wisconsin. | ||
| We won both those states. | ||
| By the way, Arizona, best-performing swing state. | ||
| Better than 2016, Steve. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Amazing. | |
| We did nearly double of the output of 2016. | ||
| It shows that ballot chasing works. | ||
| Amazing. | ||
| And so we built this army. | ||
| And then the other part of this, which was more below the radar, so we were talking a lot about ballot chasing, but we did not talk always about what we were doing with young people in the election cycle. | ||
| People knew me as kind of the young campus guy. | ||
| Steve, we won the youth vote in Michigan. | ||
| That's amazing. | ||
| We almost won it in Wisconsin. | ||
| And we flipped center. | ||
| Charlie said he was going to do this. | ||
| I go, Charlie, I don't know. | ||
| Is that like a bridge too far? | ||
| You guys did it. | ||
| Yeah, no, we did it. | ||
| And I'll tell you that the impact is profound. | ||
| And I can make an argument. | ||
| If you look at Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, they were closer than people think. | ||
| Pennsylvania was three points. | ||
| But Wisconsin and Michigan were really razor tight. | ||
| We won the youth vote in Michigan, nearly won at Wisconsin. | ||
| And we won it in Pennsylvania. | ||
| If we did not do what we did with younger voters, you make the argument that Trump would not have won. | ||
| It was younger voters that rose up in huge numbers and delivered this mandate because they don't want to live, as you would say, as Russian serves. | ||
| You're like Barron. | ||
| You're getting taller. | ||
| Have you stopped growing? | ||
| No, seriously, what's he drinking? | ||
| Are you drinking milk? | ||
| No, sir, I didn't get shorter in prison, okay? | ||
| I came out kind of prison ripped. | ||
| You've grown two inches. | ||
| You're like Barron. | ||
| What are you, 6'4", 6'5"? | ||
| Yeah, I'm 6'5", yeah. | ||
| But you were not 6'5 all the time. | ||
| How many inches have you grown? | ||
| You're still growing. | ||
| Charlie Kirk, breaking new scoop, growing boy. | ||
| No, you and Barron. | ||
| Barron's like 6'10 right now. | ||
| No, he's taller than I am. | ||
| No, he's a lot taller, but you're taller than Trump. | ||
| Trump's 6'4, right? | ||
| You're 6'5. | ||
| He told me, you know, he notices that stuff. | ||
| Oh, no, by the way, he loves it, by the way. | ||
| He likes them tall. | ||
| You know, the tall guy always wins. | ||
| Oh, that's right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The tall guy always wins. | |
| That's right. | ||
| No, I mean, all kidding aside, we're having the time of our life here, Steve. | ||
| Talk to me about the energy. | ||
| You know, this is creative destruction down at Marlock. | ||
| Give people some insight. | ||
| By the way, we're overwhelming the system is what we're doing, right? | ||
| I mean, we got, hey, you think you're having a bad day? | ||
| Libs? | ||
| Oh, Bobby Kennedy. | ||
| Oh, you really? | ||
| Matt Gaetz. | ||
| Or how about Tom Homan? | ||
| Or how about Pete Hegseth, right? | ||
| Or Tulsi Gabbard. | ||
| These guys are twofold. | ||
| They're brilliant choices for deconstructing administrative state. | ||
| They're also, as Fetterman says, God-level trolls. | ||
| No, no, it's remarkable. | ||
| But let me also just emphasize one part of this, which I think is so incredibly important. | ||
| For no other reason, Donald Trump is showing that campaign promises are not just rhetoric, they're pledges. | ||
| He is restoring faith in the American political system. | ||
| So let's say that some of these guys fail in confirmation. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whoa, whoa, whoa. | |
| No chance. | ||
| Okay, well then I'm going to take your word for it, Steve. | ||
| I'm just saying. | ||
| Look, Tulsi's going to be a lift because of the administrative state and the warmongers, right? | ||
| She ain't going to be as big a lift as Hegseth, Gates, and Bobby Kennedy. | ||
| Those are world-class lifts. | ||
| And we're working... | ||
| By the way, I've been working the phones of senators for Gates. | ||
| It's march or die. | ||
| Don't you agree? | ||
| I totally agree. | ||
| And by the way, this whole thing is the personality... | ||
| Charlie texted me yesterday and says, you tell them if their vote is against these guys... | ||
| If you want to get primaried for any reason you vote against any... | ||
| Look, President Trump... | ||
| Let me be blunt. | ||
| He got shot in the head and then won in a landslide a couple of months later. | ||
| He gets to choose who he wants in his government, right? | ||
| There's no question about this. | ||
| If he wants them, they go. | ||
| He gets the attorney general of his choosing, the sec def of his choosing, the DNI chief of his choosing. | ||
| He earned it. | ||
| He deserves it. | ||
| By the way, these Senate Republicans would not have a majority if it wasn't for President Trump. | ||
| We wouldn't have held a house. | ||
| No, no, that's right. | ||
| They are only important right now in leadership because of President Trump. | ||
| This is his mandate, his cabinet, his people. | ||
| President Trump delivered. | ||
| In 16, we delivered it all, the House and the Senate. | ||
| We had it all, and it was Paul Ryan who sits on the board at Fox and goes against President Trump every day, and Mitch McConnell that blocked him. | ||
| He's done it again, delivered every branch of government, and now the courts propose what he did in the first time. | ||
| So if he wants it, he gets it. | ||
| You agree? | ||
| 100%. | ||
| And by the way, it's going to come down to, this is where war room could be really important. | ||
| By the way, guys, keep celebrating. | ||
| We're not activating you yet. | ||
| There will be a huge call to action. | ||
| I looked up the dates. | ||
| Jeff Sessions, when he was confirmed, you remember this, Steve. | ||
| It was actually before he got sworn in. | ||
| The confirmation hearings start around like January 10th-ish. | ||
| And then the votes are early February. | ||
| So that's really going to be where we're going to be locked in. | ||
| Like kind of that new year period where we at Turning Point Action are planning a five-state tour. | ||
| Blood-red states of Idaho, South Dakota, Kansas, Arkansas, Mississippi. | ||
| Termine, folks. | ||
| Well, we're just going to be... | ||
| Here's the thing. | ||
| These are states that feel as if they're left out of the national conversation when it comes to MAGA. No, no, no. | ||
| Your red state senators are now either going to block or confirm. | ||
| And the final thing I'll say is this. | ||
| These guys all have states of people that voted for Merrick Garland but are skeptical on Gates. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's unbelievable. | |
| So we're not going to put up with that. | ||
| Don't give me skeptical. | ||
| We're going to war. | ||
| Imagine the grassroots of Idaho if they find out their senators are not going to vote for Gates. | ||
| You're one of the great young men in this country. | ||
| I can't wait to you. | ||
| By the way, Charlie Kirk ought to take a senior position in this government. | ||
| We're very lucky to keep you. | ||
| I know. | ||
| But one day, you're going to be a governor of a state, then a senator, and a potential president of these United States, Charlie Kirk. | ||
| You're here first on War Room. | ||
| You're going to go get ready for your fabulous show. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Yes, we had to do that. | ||
| No, I'll tell you why. | ||
| This guy does the hard pick and shovel work. | ||
| It's not, you know, a lot of people show up and they want to be Showtime and go on TV or everything like that. | ||
| Kirk and Tyler and the entire team over at Turning Point has just been amazing. | ||
|

|
Thank you. | |
| What you've built. | ||
| I met, I was in one of Charlie's first pitches when he's doing it. | ||
| I go, what the hell? | ||
| We're going to take over student governments? | ||
| Who is this crazy guy? | ||
| Right? | ||
| Who's not even in college. | ||
| Charlie Kirk. | ||
| One of the great young Americans in the country. | ||
| Steve, thank you so much. | ||
| Honored to be in the trench with you. | ||
| Fixed bayonets! | ||
