Matt Gaetz was nominated for this position because we have a problem with the Department of Justice. | |
| For the last eight years, they have run roughshod over rule of law in this country. | ||
| They have prosecuted political opponents. | ||
| They ran the Russia collusion hoax. | ||
| And too many people in Washington, D.C. did not stand up against what was happening there. | ||
| And many Americans are upset about it. | ||
| Matt Gaetz is one of the most effective people at fighting that Russia collusion hoax and other information operations. | ||
| Whether it was the Brett Kavanaugh information operation, the Donald Trump Russia collusion hoax information operation, or the one that is referenced here, which is something that the FBI and Department of Justice, which hate Matt Gaetz, looked into and cleared him of any wrongdoing. | ||
| The issue is corruption. | ||
| It's the Department of Justice has corruption. | ||
| And people are sick and tired of people in Washington, D.C. doing nothing as these people tried to destroy the country and getting upset at someone who actually might root out the corruption there. | ||
| We don't have a Department of Justice. | ||
| We have a Department of Injustice. | ||
| And that's why you get Matt Gaetz as a nominee. | ||
| 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 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 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. Band. | ||
| Saturday, 16 November, year of alert 2024, Mo. | ||
| Molly Hemingway from The Federalist. | ||
| Is it Sean Davis over there? | ||
| I think he's done such a spectacular job. | ||
| She sums it up right there. | ||
| I mean, that's... | ||
| In fact, can we cut that? | ||
| I want to play that again. | ||
| People did nothing. | ||
| This is why Trey Gowdy was with Swalwell and Shift in trying to prove the Russian collusion hoax. | ||
| In the skiff, we had to do it in a skiff that the House Intelligence has. | ||
| He was with them. | ||
| Folks, Paul Ryan, who should not be on a board as an independent director of a publicly traded company, hates Trump, didn't vote for him and wish that he lost. | ||
| Says it all the time. | ||
| Paul Ryan removed Devin Nunez because Nunez was a defender of Trump and realized it was a hoax. | ||
| Who are Nunez's two deputies? | ||
| I'm going to throw some random names out. | ||
| Cash Patel and Derek Harvey, who are on the show all the time, and two of the great MAGA warriors out there. | ||
| Cash Patel, who, I don't know, sometime today, I hope, is named director of the FBI. Suck on that, Washington. | ||
| Some random people. | ||
| Cash, Patel, and Derek Harvey. | ||
| Nunez was forced to recuse himself by Paul Ryan. | ||
| Why did Paul Ryan do that? | ||
| He wanted his lackey, his running dog, Trey Gowdy, to work with Schiff. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Shifty Schiff. | |
| Who knew that? | ||
| My two lawyers, Bill Burke and Alex Suspiro, two of the best lawyers around, who defended me. | ||
| My lawyers for that, and also Don McGahn's lawyers and Reince Priebus's lawyers. | ||
| Molly Hemingway nails it. | ||
| Nobody stood up. | ||
| The guys that stood up, like Mike Flynn, they were sending him to prison. | ||
| The people that stood up, like Navarra and Bannon later, went to prison. | ||
| And they're whining now. | ||
| There's no rule of law. | ||
| Matt Gaetz is a blowtorch. | ||
| And he's going to hit it with a blowtorch that it rightly deserves. | ||
| And President Trump, just to reiterate, if your number two pencil broke during this, Trump took a bullet and then he won a landslide. | ||
| I think I just, that is the summary. | ||
| He represents the anti-system forces of people that realized that we never intended, the founders and framers never intended this to be an empire. | ||
| And a globalist empire run by a bunch of elites that have a credentialed class, grundoons that are all in your life, every aspect of it, and worried about woke and worried about, you know, the Russian-speaking border in Ukraine, worried about everything except what worried about everything except what builds this nation and makes its citizens more prosperous and at peace and enjoying the fruits of liberty. | ||

|
He gets to pick who he wants to pick. | |
| And this is, I'm telling you, and I said this, the John Thune situation, you can't give them an inch. | ||
| You can't give the established order. | ||
| You cannot try to compromise with them, whether they got a Republican on their forehead or they got a Democrat, because it's all the same. | ||
| It's all the same. | ||
| They work in just different ways. | ||
| Mo, aren't you glad you picked today to come by and hang out? | ||
| Because I'm on a roll, and now I'm going to take... | ||
| You're like Dave Brown, me grabbing that mic from you. | ||
| The audience is saying, hey, Steve, will you let the girl talk? | ||
| Well, I just want to point out, and Representative Clyde posted this yesterday, I believe. | ||
| And then I did a little research. | ||
| Senator Thune, you voted... | ||
| To approve and confirm Merrick Garland, are you going to do right by the American people and confirm Matt Gaetz? | ||
| That's outing them right there. | ||
| There were 20 Republican senators that voted to confirm Merrick Garland. | ||
| Out of those 20, four of them are no longer senators. | ||
| 16 are still your United States senators, to include your Senate majority leader. | ||
| Do you have the list? | ||
| Can you read the 16? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I do. | |
| Read it. | ||
| These are guys that voted for Merrick Garland that spent his four years torturing President Trump. | ||
| Who are they? | ||
| So, I have all 20 highlighted, but it was Blunt, Caputo, Cassidy, Collins, Cornyn, Ernest, Graham, Grassley, Inhofe, Johnson, Lankford, McConnell, Morin, Murkowski, Portman, Romney, Rounds, Thune, and Tillis. | ||
|
unidentified
|
God, what a rogues gallery that is. | |
| You want to know why this republic has got some problems, folks? | ||
| Don't read it again, Mo. | ||
| I'm getting nauseous. | ||
| Go ahead. | ||
| But you can go to Bill Blaster. | ||
| So a pitch for Bill Blaster. | ||
| You can go to Bill Blaster and get your contact information for your senators and contact them and let them know how you want them to vote to confirm these cabinet appointees. | ||
| You know, you bring up the Army-Navy thing. | ||
| That's 14 December. | ||
| It can't be that late. | ||
| That's when the bowl starts. | ||
| It's Saturday, 14 December, and then the New York Young Republicans Club Gala is the following day. | ||
| Oh, because they bumped the game back a week because of the conference championships. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So it's 14 December. | ||
| And it's before the playoffs start, before the bowl games start the following week. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So on 14 December, you ought to reach out. | ||
| You ought to reach out down to Mar-a-Lago. | ||
| If Biden doesn't go, which would be embarrassing because he can't walk across the field, right? | ||
| And it's also because he forced his son in to be a naval officer, Hunter, who was a naval officer for 30 days. | ||
| I don't think even 30 days. | ||
| It's been like a week, wasn't it? | ||
| The first time he showed up, I think, at the operating base at Norfolk. | ||
| Don't talk to the president about it. | ||
| Don't talk to the president-elect about going down again. | ||
| That was one of the great moves of, although that was one my daughter informed me, under no circumstances would she work for General Milley. | ||
| Pretty good call there. | ||
| You are correct. | ||
| I'm a good judge of character, and General Milley does not have good character. | ||
| Pretty good call. | ||
| But I did see the superintendent at the time, who is one of my mentors. | ||
| Kaslam. | ||
| And then after that... | ||
| If President Trump had chosen him to be the following set of McMasters, one of the single biggest mistakes we've made, he wanted Kaslam. | ||
| And the Morning Joe crowd won at McMaster's. | ||
| And McMaster's turned out to be the goofball drunk. | ||
| People warned us about he was a goofball and a drunk. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| He turned out to be a goofball and a drunk. | ||
| Not the best. | ||
| After that game, General Kaslan... | ||
| Asked me what my career progression in the military was going to look like, and I told him I actually wanted to get out, and he had a different idea, and he by name requested me to come back to West Point after that. | ||
| Yeah, you had a great tour from West Point, right? | ||
| I did. | ||
| But that being said, President-elect Trump, when he was at that game... | ||
| It fired up everyone. | ||
| And I honestly believe that he is the reason that Army won that game. | ||
| And we ended a drought. | ||
| And we finally beat Navy. | ||
| And we've continued on that path. | ||
| We've had our ups and downs since then. | ||
| But this is the greatest start since, we'll say, 1949 and 1996. | ||
| 1996? | ||
| They're 9-0. | ||
| I bow from that. | ||
| You were right. | ||
| I hate to say this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Can you say that? | |
| I hate to say this. | ||
| I hate to say this. | ||
| I was maybe not 100% accurate. | ||
| Well, in 1949, they only had nine games. | ||
| So their entire season, they were 9-0. | ||
| They were such a powerhouse during World War II and then after you had Doc Blanchard. | ||
| They were kind of a post-graduate. | ||
| They were almost like semi-pro ball. | ||
| That's what people... | ||
| But I would love to. | ||
| If President-elect Trump would go to Army-Navy again this year, I would be honored to attend the game with him. | ||
| I do remember in 20... | ||
| You're pitching? | ||
| I am pitching. | ||
| You're brazen. | ||
| I'm pitching. | ||
| But, I mean, in 2016, when you guys went, I remember I showed up. | ||
| I got there before you guys did, and I thought I was going like I was actually going to the game, like when we've gone. | ||
| And I had my Army football jersey on, my class fleece, jeans, and a beanie. | ||
| And I show up, and it's the nominee for the Secretary of the Army's box. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And they're all in pearls. | ||
| The women are in dresses and pearls. | ||
| And the men are all in suits. | ||
| I was so underdressed. | ||
| You look like you normally do. | ||
| You're doing the tailgate parties out there. | ||
| The Army-Navy tailgate parties, they celebrate a lot. | ||
| And then we went to the Navy side, and you guys left. | ||
| And I was in the Navy box, the only Army fan in the Navy box. | ||
| I was around all the enemies. | ||
| So I had to get back over to the Army side real fast. | ||
| It's hard for me being a naval officer and rooting for Army, but I've rooted for Army ever since Mo went there. | ||
| Because it didn't make a difference then, because Army was... | ||
| I mean, they got smoked. | ||
| I remember one year, I remember we're in the stands, Mo and myself and some of her colleagues, and we got pretty good seats, and Army drives... | ||
| All the way downfield to the one-yard line. | ||
| And remember, the ball bounces off one, like pulling guards, bounces up in the air. | ||
| I think the Navy guy got it and ran it 99 yards back for a touchdown. | ||
| That kind of summarized Army football at the time. | ||
| It did, and I believe we didn't score at all that game. | ||
| I think that was my sophomore year that that happened. | ||
| We didn't score at all. | ||
| It was a struggle, you know, those four years that I went there, but Army volleyball, we beat Navy. | ||
| You guys were unbelievable. | ||
| You were 8-0 against Navy, right? | ||
| No, because you were hurt the last time they lost. | ||
| Yeah, so we were 7-1 technically, but... | ||
| 7-1? | ||
| But no, didn't you beat them in a postseason or something to get to the 8? | ||
| You were 8-0. | ||
| You were personally 7-0. | ||
| Mo's greatest thing is that in her first year, her senior year, she's leading the team and they get to the playoffs, right, when you hurt yourself. | ||
| It was right before. | ||
| So the last game of the season, Mo has a devastating leg injury, ankle injury. | ||
| Ankle. | ||
| Ankle injury. | ||
| And it looks like her career is over, because you just have the playoffs, and then if you don't go anywhere in the playoffs, they know that the Army's never been invited to the NCAA postseason, so it looks like her career is over. | ||
| This was the guttiest thing I ever saw from a kid, because she was always like this, even if it was a little girl. | ||
| She goes, shows up to the therapy thing, the whirlpool, with all the football players, right? | ||
| And she's in there, and she's got the whirlpool. | ||
| They taped it up solid. | ||
| I'm not saying they juiced you up, but hey, who knows? | ||
| No. | ||
| You showed up to the playoff games and you led Army to a victory to a conference championship in the playoffs. | ||
| It was one of the most heroic things I've ever seen in my entire life. | ||
| You were a true warrior. | ||
| The pain you went through and the grit. | ||
| Then they go to the NCAAs, right? | ||
| And plays in the hollowed stadium arena at Penn State, which is just incredible. | ||
| Built in like the 1920s. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Anyway... | |
| I was just going to say the doctor said it would have been better for me to break my ankle. | ||
| That's how badly it was injured. | ||
| So the fact, you're right, I did tape it up and played through. | ||
| I said, I'm going to finish the season. | ||
| This is not how I'm going to go out. | ||
| So I taped it up and struggled through that pain. | ||
| So I've always been a fighter and I'll always be a fighter. | ||
| That was incredible, incredible. | ||
| You... | ||
| Proud beyond words. | ||
| It was just incredible. | ||
| I think that's the proudest is when your mom and I were there at Fort Campbell when you came back from the 101st from your deployment. | ||
| I mean, as a parent, we were sitting there and there's doors open and they walk off the plane or the tarmac. | ||
| You cannot, after they've come back safe, it's just incredible because you realize you have no control. | ||
| Only God has control. | ||
| Okay, short break. | ||
| Back in the worm in just a moment. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I lost your pride. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann. | ||
| I was going to say Pete Hexeth, too. | ||
| Okay, you got something on Hexeth? | ||
| You know Hexeth. | ||
| Hexeth's a great guy. | ||
| He's a warrior. | ||
| Trump gets to pick who he wants, but they're going to put around Pete. | ||
| They're going to put around... | ||
| People say, we've never managed a massive industrial complex. | ||
| Hey, they're going to put an undersecretary in some great... | ||
| Folks around Pete, what Pete brings, I think, is that junior officer perspective that we need. | ||
| That's what I was going to say. | ||
| I'll flip it now to a junior officer. | ||
| We need to get away from the four-star generals that are so out of touch with reality in the day-to-day business within the DOD. You're saying General Austin has been a... | ||
| I would love to know General Austin's take on the withdrawal out of Iraq because he was a senior leader in that. | ||
| And since he was a senior leader in that, don't you think the Afghanistan withdrawal should have been better conducted and not botched in 13 services? | ||
| I think General Austin, if you had actually paid attention to the withdrawal out of Iraq, you wouldn't have messed up and botched Afghanistan so badly. | ||
| I know you said that General Milley should be brought back on active duty and court-martialed. | ||
| I think General Austin deserves to be right next to him when we court-martial. | ||
| And he also put in a mandate for an experimental vaccine. | ||
| And then forced good officers and good leaders within the military... | ||
| Is that going to get worked through, this whole thing with the vaccine and everything they try to force on that? | ||
| I believe that in this new administration, in the second Trump term, we need to look into that because you had a lot... | ||
| Because you think this is a high priority for Pete. | ||
| Pete's anti-woke and wants to take that. | ||
| How hard is that going to be taken out of the military? | ||
| You were there, I mean, no offense, your beloved West Point, pretty woke. | ||
| I mean, it's become a Marxist institution. | ||
| They're teaching a lot of things that should not be taught there. | ||
| Because Milley talked about that thing, remember he said the anti-white, the white privilege. | ||
| Remember he talks about that? | ||
| Well, that, in general, Milley was okay with CRT and gender theory being taught at our service academies. | ||
| And when President Trump had actually said, this needs to not be taught there. | ||
| If you're teaching it, stop teaching it there. | ||
| They disobeyed a direct order from the commander-in-chief and continue to teach it there. | ||
| Mo Bannon. | ||
| I can see Madeline Peltz as our marketing director over at Media Matters. | ||
| Mo Bannon. | ||
| West Point is now a Marxist institution. | ||
| Sounds like Mo's pitching to go on the board at West Point. | ||
| And I don't think I'm going to be inducted into the Hall of Fame anytime soon for saying that. | ||
| That's going to bump 10 more years. | ||
| Yeah, maybe wait until it comes back. | ||
| When it turns back into the fine institution it was when I was there. | ||
| But it's definitely turned into... | ||
| We're teaching woke ideology and I believe that our new SECDEF is going to stop that and stop all of these things that we shouldn't be focusing on. | ||
| We should not be focusing on gender theory and pronoun training in the military. | ||
| We need to be focusing on war fighting because if we get involved in World War III, which I don't believe we will under President Trump because we were involved in no new wars under his first administration, If that, God forbid, happens, we need to be able to fight a war, and the military now, we are not able to fight one. | ||
| Let me go to some of our sponsors. | ||
| My Patriot Supply, we focus on kind of best in class as we work with sponsors, and we only take one in each kind of vertical. | ||
| My Patriot Supply, Joe Reek and the team, what we love about them is not just the great products, but the fact that they will individually work with you. | ||
| Particularly people who have not been in the preparation business or not preppers. | ||
| Go ahead. | ||
| And a pitch for my Patriot Supply, especially if you live in areas that are hit by hurricanes, it came in handy. | ||
| I told you not. | ||
| I know. | ||
| I'm just saying. | ||
| She's a Florida girl. | ||
| Florida is paradise. | ||
| She loves Florida. | ||
| Florida is paradise. | ||
| However, my Patriot supply came in handy. | ||
| I had my solar-powered little charger for my phones, for my devices, and I also had food, my Patriot food supply kit, in case I lost power, which with Milton, power was out for six days. | ||
| I evacuated, but I had it I actually brought it with me when I evacuated just in case where I evacuated lost power. | ||
| I would have it. | ||
| So I was prepared. | ||
| So you need to go to mypatriotsupply.com to make sure that you have everything you need if a natural disaster hits. | ||
| Talk to Joe Reek. | ||
| Also, of course, yesterday at CPAC, I gave a speech. | ||
| Yes, in fact, I think we'll have some of that speech up next week and maybe a couple of visuals from it that we talk through. | ||
| We'll do it. | ||
| But Glenn's story, Patriot Mobile, this company is so great. | ||
| They believe your values. | ||
| Remember, their political action arm. | ||
| If we didn't have that, I think Paxton would have been impeached down in Texas. | ||
| Glenn's story in the team there on the political action side has just been incredible. | ||
| The company itself, this is their motto, stop giving money to people that hate you. | ||
| You don't have to give it to the big carriers. | ||
| They are able to lay on so you get all the great coverage of a carrier. | ||
| But you're giving it to a marketing and coordination effort that does not hate you and supports your values. | ||
| And they tithe X percent, I think 10 percent, back to groups. | ||
| Glenn Story is a warrior. | ||
| This guy's everywhere. | ||
| Just absolutely incredible. | ||
| So Patriot Mobile, of course, Birch Gold. | ||
| I want to tie Birch Gold into this piece I want to talk about. | ||
| You look like you want to butt in again. | ||
| Well, no. | ||
| Sacred Human Health. | ||
| Sacred Human Health. | ||
| I love sacred. | ||
| My grass-fed beef livers. | ||
| One of the reasons, hey, it's a full package here. | ||
| They also have a magnesium and a sleep and now an immunity. | ||
| Talk about that. | ||
| I know you love the grass-fed beef liver. | ||
| Talk about the other ones. | ||
| The immunity is amazing. | ||
| Yes, it is. | ||
| I've been taking it. | ||
| And then the sleep, the magnesium, it helps with sleep if you have difficulty sleeping. | ||
| And I highly encourage it. | ||
| So I like those. | ||
| I am a fan of the grass-fed beef liver, but the other products... | ||
| But on Sacred Human Health, just go to the site. | ||
| It's got so much information. | ||
| Remember, they're the experts. | ||
| We kind of partnered with them to give you access, but they're the experts. | ||
| And the products offering is just incredible. | ||
| And that's sacredhumanhealth.com, promo code WARROOM. Getting pretty good. | ||
| I want to go to the access thing. | ||
| Here's a question I've got, and I've been running this with a flagpole. | ||
| So audience, remember at the beginning, I think it was Tom Nichols saying, hey, it's just an entertainment age and we're so inundated and nobody wants to pay attention. | ||
| Your power comes from the fact you use your agency. | ||
| That's why you're always absorbing real information, right? | ||
| And highly technical information. | ||
| Because now we've got a working class and middle class cadre, which is always at the tip of a revolutionary movement. | ||
| That is well informed and you want more and we're trying to give you more. | ||
| So go to Axios because they do a really good job. | ||
| Vander Hay and Allen have a very detailed one. | ||
| Everybody on the weekend is your weekend reading assignment. | ||
| It gets a little complex. | ||
| But of course here in the war room we're going to disaggregate this and break it down for you. | ||
| They're talking about the Vivek and Elon Musk Doge efforts to cut and they're talking about they've talked about cutting one or two trillion dollars Out of the federal budget. | ||
| Now, all the times that you hear Republicans or Democrats talk about budgets, they're talking about over 10 years. | ||
| When they give you these cuts, these are all ephemeral cuts. | ||
| They're all cuts back-end loaded. | ||
| And you know, particularly if you've ever done projections for companies, organizations, that in the out years, who knows? | ||
| Because things change. | ||
| There's no guarantee of that. | ||
| There's no guarantee for the next year. | ||
| To be realistic, you've got to pull everything down front. | ||
| The budget that Biden just put up that we still haven't passed is $7 trillion. | ||
| Remember, we're into a government fiscal year now. | ||
| It starts October 1st. | ||
| It goes all the way through September 30th. | ||
| We keep having these CRs that kick the can down the road. | ||
| The next CR comes due, essentially on Christmas Eve, on December 20th. | ||
| So the government's going to run out of money right before Christmas. | ||
| And so normally this is where they do the big omnibus package. | ||
| They put all kinds of things in, like changing the Electoral Count Act of 1887, all kind of nefarious stuff in the dead of night, and you just got to end up sucking on it, right? | ||
| Now we have, under President Trump, you have some entrepreneurs, and particularly Elon, who is an expert in cost-cutting. | ||
| You saw that at Twitter. | ||
| They've said that we want to take on this federal government budget. | ||
| And they're talking about a trillion dollars or two trillion dollars. | ||
| And he ain't talking about everything he said. | ||
| He's not talking about out-years. | ||
| He means you take the seven trillion that Biden proposes or the six and a half they just had. | ||
| Six and a half they just had. | ||
| He's talking about a trillion out of that. | ||
| My whole point is that I think we're looking at this the wrong way, and I've been, after this article came out this morning, I've actually been rolling calls. | ||
| In fact, Mo had to step in here and do show prep, because we do a lot of prep for the show. | ||
| I had to do show prep with our Evercrack team here in the War Room. | ||
| On Saturday mornings, It's a little sluggish sometimes, every now and again. | ||
| Given Friday night is a night that they may go out and have an adult beverage. | ||
| Okay, so they're always moving a little slow. | ||
| Mo does a show prop. | ||
| I'm going through and rolling calls on this Axios thing. | ||
| And here's the way I propose we think about it. | ||
| The train of $2 trillion that Vivek and Elon are talking about cutting, we haven't approved yet. | ||
| It's not done. | ||
| It's not a done deal. | ||
| Remember all the appropriations bills that Speaker Johnson never got done? | ||
| Well, that still kind of has to get done to even approve appropriations going forward. | ||
| So my proposal is, with the appropriations now, so And it's going to take another—you're either going to get an omnibus on December 20th that Trump has no control over, or are you going to kick another CR into Trump's—the first hundred days of Trump's administration. | ||
| I strongly recommend we do that. | ||
| So then President Trump, his OMB director, his secretary of treasury, his NEC, and himself and his team, including all the cabinet secretaries that get approved, can sign off on this. | ||
| So it's Trump's budget. | ||
| In that budget, working with Vivek and Elon and using the AI super collider that's going to find where this waste fraud is inefficient, we don't pass it. | ||
| We cut it now. | ||
| Let's not embed it into law, into an appropriations, and we all tell the appropriators, essentially, let's go back to... | ||
| Well, hang on a minute. | ||
| I'll leave the audience hanging. | ||
| I'm going to have a big reveal. | ||
| A huge reveal. | ||
| Captain Maureen Bannon. | ||
| Her dad, convict. | ||
| Bannon. | ||
| Federal inmate. | ||
| Modern day holy war, Nicole Negrady takes us out. | ||
| You got something to say? | ||
| We've only got 18 seconds. | ||
| We'll hold back when we come back. | ||

We'll be back on Real America's Voice in the world in just a moment. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Band. | ||
| Hey, we're back. | ||
| Somebody just sent me a tweet. | ||
| I've got to get into this in a second. | ||
| Oh, the book. | ||
| So, Half the Cabinet It's in this book, Rebels, Rogues, and Outlaws. | ||
| Can they get it over your computer? | ||
| Mo Bannon's in it. | ||
| Of course, naturally, Mo Bannon's going to turn to Mo Bannon's picture. | ||
| I'm right here. | ||
| Always be marketing. | ||
| It's actually a good picture. | ||
| It's a very good picture that Dan took. | ||
| So hold it up again. | ||
| Go to Amazon. | ||
| This book's on Friday. | ||
| Number one in photography. | ||
| I think at one time it peaked at 21. | ||
| We're going to have a, actually, a book launch party on Wednesday. | ||
| And what we should do in the chat, if you're local, I want as many War Room Posse members as possible. | ||
| Uh-oh. | ||
| Damn. | ||
| It's only like 1,000 people show up. | ||
| So we've got to figure out how to get some of the War Room Posse there. | ||
| And you're on, your picture's on the cover, but RFK Jr. | ||
| is on the back cover. | ||
| Yes, it's fantastic. | ||
| Secretary of HHS. So, to go back to this... | ||
| To go back to the... | ||
| We should not pass... | ||
| If it takes another CR to get into Trump's... | ||
| Trump's got to make the decisions on this budget. | ||
| We're already a quarter into it. | ||
| We cannot do an omnibus in December, which they're going to try to force. | ||
| They're going to want to do that. | ||
| They're going to want to do an omnibus. | ||
| So that's what we've got to fight. | ||
| We have to let President Trump and his team get their hands on this. | ||
| And the way to do this... | ||
| Is to make sure that Trump's entire team gets around it, but... | ||
| It is absurd. | ||
| Think about the logic. | ||
| We're going to pass it. | ||
| We're going to pass all these appropriations bills. | ||
| We're going to pass it to then have Elon and Vivek then go in and cut it? | ||
| No. | ||
| How about this? | ||
| Very simple. | ||
| Let's take it back. | ||
| Let's take the budget back to pre-COVID, the last budget of President Trump, which I think is $4.5 trillion or maybe $5 trillion. | ||
| That's $1.5 trillion less than that. | ||
| Now, If some of those expenses or costs are tied to entitlements, then you pay the entitlements because you're not going to change the law. | ||
| And the American people are not going to back you changing the law until you can show you can get discretionary spending under control. | ||
| And that would be the defense budget, and that would be discretionary social spending. | ||
| You have to do that first. | ||
| And I think it's quite powerful that Elon, who is a major defense contractor, leads this effort and shows us where we can cut where the waste, fraud, and abuse is in the defense budget. | ||
| Because I'm sure, having worked at the Pentagon and been on a Navy ship, I think there's a tad there. | ||
| But I'm not so sure waste, fraud, and abuse is going to get you there. | ||
| You're going to have to take out programs, which is fine. | ||
| You deconstruct the administrative state. | ||
| You just do less things. | ||
| That's fine. | ||
| But there's no need to go through this rigmarole of passing this than to cut. | ||
| How about we do this? | ||
| How about we cut? | ||
| How about we just say, hey, don't appropriate it. | ||
| If it's not passed and not appropriated, it's gone. | ||
| And voila, we do it in the first year. | ||
| It's not some, oh, in 10 years I'm going to have $4 trillion of cuts. | ||
| That's all nonsense. | ||
| It's period zero. | ||
| What you do now. | ||
| My logic's bulletproof. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Been wrestling with this one for a couple, three years. | ||
| Have at it on the cuts. | ||
| You know, and so Vivek and Elon should be into the appropriations process right now. | ||
| We should see from the appropriators. | ||
| What's real and what's not real? | ||
| Maureen Bannon, thoughts? | ||
| I was just going to say, you're talking about the defense budget. | ||
| We need to audit the defense budget and see, like you were saying, where the money is going, especially within the DOD. There was an article that came out... | ||
| In the last year, I can't remember specifically when, that showed the conditions in which our service members were living, black mold, other disgusting things that are occurring in the barracks. | ||
| And I did a deep dive, and mind you, and you know this, I'm no mathematician. | ||
| And I saw that we weren't putting forth the correct amount of money into that specific area within the DOD budget. | ||
| So I called for back then an audit of the budget because we need to know we shouldn't be having programs that have no effectiveness in our mission in the DOD and we actually need to be treating our soldiers and our service members the way they should be treated, making sure they're housed correctly if we're going to continue to deploy them. | ||
| So Elon just tweeted out, it would be interesting to hear more people waiting, but my feedback for us is business as usual. | ||
| Scott Besson is a business as usual choice, whereas Howard Lutnick will actually enact change. | ||
| Where's the change, Elon, that Howard Lutnick's talked about? | ||
| He works at a bucket shop called Cantor Fristero, which is just on Wall Street. | ||
| It ain't Goldman Sachs. | ||
| It's not First Boston. | ||
| It's not Morgan Stanley. | ||
| It's kind of where third Raiders go. | ||
| Where has he ever talked about change? | ||
| You talk about a trillion dollars a year. | ||
| I'm saying, hey, if it's there, let's do it in the appropriations process. | ||
| I'm not saying I'm calling your bluff because I more than anybody want this done and you seem like a great guy to do it because you cut the cost out of Twitter and you got Vivek. | ||
| Let's do it now. | ||
| Let's not wait. | ||
| No need to put the AI robot on it. | ||
| Let's go through the appropriations process. | ||
| I think what President Trump needs, he's got to make the call, you're going to have massive market turbulence. | ||
| You need someone who I think the market, the global capital markets respect their opinion. | ||
| I've never heard of anyone coming from Cantor Fitzgerald that global capital markets respect their opinion because they're considered a non-event. | ||
| Bro. | ||
| Whereas Scott Besson is a guy that it seems like the people that have endorsed him are major capital markets. | ||
| But hey, President Trump gets to pick who he wants to pick. | ||
| If he wants Lutnick, that'll fine because that's President Trump's pick. | ||
| If he wants Besson, that's fine. | ||
| That's President Trump's pick. | ||
| If he wants Lighthizer, that's fine. | ||
| If Jamie Dimon or one of these guys come in, if he picks it, it's his pick. | ||
| It's his decision. | ||
| It's clearly a decision he's weighing on because it's taken a while and this has been up. | ||
| But to have the guy running the transition, I think it's odd that someone's running the transition, informs President Trump, after he takes over the transition, oh, by the way, I want a secretary position and I want secretary of the treasury, which is what happened, is a little I want a secretary position and I want secretary of the So I would like people with more market expertise, capital markets expertise, to kind of weigh in here. | ||
| Kyle Bass, and I'm no big fan of Kyle Bass's, although he's quite anti-CCP, Kyle, uh, uh, Elon, which I know has nothing to do with why you're, you're criticizing him. | ||
| I got issues with Kyle Bass on other topics, but Kyle Bass gives a promotion of that and you come out, uh, against one of the biggest anti-CCP guys. | ||
| I just find that interesting. | ||
| I find that ironic to say the least. | ||
| Let's go up to Wyoming. | ||
| Do I have – Catherine, are you going to go in the administration? | ||
| You've served in the last one. | ||
| Are you going to go in the administration? | ||
| Are you going to run – are there people that run Meriwether Farms? | ||
| Because rumor has it your entrepreneurial brother, George Jr., is going to step into your role as you go in to help President Trump in the government and that you're going to go help President Trump and he's going to come in and run the company. | ||
| Any truth to that, Rumor? | ||
| Hi, Steve. | ||
| It's so great to see you. | ||
| It's been so long. | ||
| I can't believe you're back. | ||
| It's amazing. | ||
| It's a miracle. | ||
| Listen, I will do whatever I can to help President Trump. | ||
| And if President Trump and his team want me back, I'd be happy to serve. | ||
| But we've been so close to I think we're in a critical time right now, and we really couldn't have done it without the War Room Posse, especially when you were gone, Steve. | ||
| I mean, they really picked up the slack. | ||
| So I think it would be a little premature for me to leave my position here. | ||
| But, you know, if it's the right thing, then I would be happy to serve Steve. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| But look, you found a great company. | ||
| People should know. | ||
| She was with us in 15. | ||
| She was on the campaign at 16. | ||
| She was on the transition. | ||
| Catherine was over at the State Department and then fighting the good fight. | ||
| Then you came – and you know what the deep state looks like. | ||
| You came back to the White House. | ||
| You're on the 20 campaign. | ||
| Then you wanted to run for Congress. | ||
| I said, hey, how about this? | ||
| What we need is your generation to found great companies. | ||
| You went to Wyoming and you founded a great company. | ||
| Tell us about it and tell us how the Warren Posse can participate in this company. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| Yeah, you know, listen, I think it's really instrumental at this time now that we have Bobby Kennedy as Secretary of Health and Human Services. | ||
| It's a historic and unifying appointment. | ||
| And I'm really committed as the CEO of this company to do whatever I can from the outside to help enact his Make America Healthy Again agenda. | ||
| As you all know, our beef products are free of hormones and antibiotics and all the other weird stuff that they put in at the big packing facilities. | ||
| So I'm really dedicated to making sure that there are companies like mine on the outside that can succeed alongside Bobby Kennedy and President Trump. | ||
| So today, in honor of the Maha movement, we're offering a discount code word Maha. | ||
| We also just released a Wagyu beef product, Steve. | ||
| It's some of the best Wagyu I've ever had. | ||
| It's a really great option to get a nice gift for your family members. | ||
| The marbling and the tenderness on these cuts are unheard of. | ||
| They're just out of this world. | ||
| So you better get them now because as you know, Steve, we sell out pretty quickly. | ||
| So if you can see that marbling there, isn't that crazy? | ||
| I go to federal prison for a couple of months, four months. | ||
| I come back, man. | ||
| You've gone next level on the product offerings. | ||
| Get Bannon out of the way next time. | ||
| Let the kids run it. | ||
| No, fantastic. | ||
| One more time, where do people go, Catherine? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, absolutely. | |
| And the audience should know, this is one of the great young warriors in our movement. | ||
| And I think everybody's torn now because so many people want to come back and help President Trump. | ||
| But so many people like yourself, Johnny McEntee, so many have had these great startup companies that will be very hard to transition over to. | ||
| Although I love your brother's one of the best entrepreneurs I ever met. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| One more time. | ||
| Where do they go? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| How do they get all the information around what you guys are offering? | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| It's meriweatherfarms.com. | ||
| Code word MAHA, M-A-H-A, standing for Make America Healthy Again. | ||
| Get the products now. | ||
| We're doing a big restock. | ||
| We're focused on our Wagyu products right now, but we're doing a big restock next week. | ||
| So if there's anything on there you don't see, be sure to email us and we will put you on a list. | ||
| But, you know, we sell out pretty quickly, Steve, so... | ||
| Go now, meriwetherfarms.com. | ||
| Perfect, ma'am. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| Appreciate you. | ||
| Thanks, Steve. | ||
| We'll see you soon. | ||
| Once again, I think this House and Speaker Johnson have to get Vivek and Elon in the process now, in the appropriations process. | ||
| It's no need to go through this whole process. | ||
| Deal about these appropriations process and passing this and everything, to have them come in and want to cut the same thing later. | ||
| Let's do it now. | ||
| Let's do it down front. | ||
| Elon's very, I think, has come on something that we're not doing these nonsense, ephemeral cuts later. | ||
| I want real, like any businessman, I want real cuts. | ||
| I want real cuts now. | ||
| And we can make recommendations on the entitlements, even on Medicaid, which I think is something you probably get to earlier, but that is so complicated. | ||
| You've got to show the people you can cut discretionary. | ||
| That means defense in the social programs, right? | ||
| If you show that, you'll have their support on others. | ||
| But that can all be done down front. | ||
| And Scott... | ||
| You know, Besson... | ||
| Scott Besson's been very out there on the TV. Howard ought to come forward and lay out his plan. | ||
| He ought to do some media. | ||
| And just lay out... | ||
| If Elon's made this case that he's not business as usual, show us. | ||
| It's a... | ||
| You know, Cantor Fitzgerald's not the best thing about markets, but hey, if he's got ideas how to cut this federal spending and how to support Elon and Vivek's program, have at it, man. | ||
| We gotta cut trillions of dollars. | ||
| So it's kind of open field running. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| Birch Gold sponsors birchgold.com slash Bannon or Bannon at 989898. | ||
| Just go there. | ||
| Get all the information about your IRA and 401ks. | ||
| Short break. | ||
| Back in a moment. | ||
| You are a government official. | ||
| You are a senior advisor. | ||
| You also have a role in the media. | ||
| You've got a very important podcast. | ||
| You're a contributor for us. | ||
| You write a lot. | ||
| Let's talk about particularly the attack on the Fourth Estate and journalism and journalists. | ||
| Steve Bannon sent out a message that named us here at MSNBC and said, keep your records. | ||
| We're coming after you. | ||
| Kash Patel, we don't know whether he's getting a position in the government or not, has said very specifically they will come after journalists. | ||
| There are enemies lists that are floating around with our names on it. | ||
| What do you say specifically about the role that journalism has in preserving democracy and speaking truth to power in this moment? | ||
|

Well, this speaks to your last segment, which I thought was excellent, because the reality is they want to create new information ecosystems that Americans live within. | |
| You know, they want platforms like X to be these kind of turbocharged vehicles for conspiracy theory, for their version of reality. | ||
| And then they want to try to silence people, investigative journalists, people that are doing the kind of work to expose corruption. | ||
| They want to either discredit those people. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| So Elon has just offered to have a throwdown between Scott Besson and Lutnick on Spaces, on Twitter Spaces or X Spaces. | ||
| I 1000% agree with that. | ||
| I think Elon is a brilliant idea. | ||
| Let's do it. | ||
| So the sooner we can do that, I think the better. | ||
| I think it would be fantastic. | ||
| Couldn't think anything would be better. | ||
| Also, the book, can you hold the book up again, Mo? | ||
| The book has got, right now, RFK Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, Vivek Ramaswamy, Matt Gaetz, Cash Patel, Rick Grinnell, Boris Epstein, Seb Gorka, and many, many, many others. | ||
| But those guys just already talked about or in the government offer positions or in the process of being offered positions. | ||
| We're going to be on this all weekend. | ||
| I may go up and do a live stream, but watch Grace's for any announcement. | ||
| You've got breaking news. | ||
| Big breaking news. | ||
| I do. | ||
| Decision Desk projects Nick Begich wins the U.S. House election in Alaska's at-large congressional district. | ||
| That's as of 1054 Eastern Standard Time. | ||
| This is Alex DeGrasse, another called SHOTS. I think it gets us to 221, if my math is correct. | ||
| It might not be, but 220, 221, I think 222, we're eventually saying. | ||

| Moe Bannon's got to go into the administration. | ||
| If President Trump wanted me on the administration, I would... | ||
| You would volunteer? | ||
| I would say yes. | ||
| I serve my country in uniform and I continue to serve my country out of uniform and I will fight for this country. | ||
| So if President Trump needs me... | ||
| You served for seven years? | ||
| Eight years, almost nine. | ||
| Almost nine years. | ||
| After four years at West Point. | ||
| You topped Maine. | ||
| I think it was seven and a half, eight. | ||
| Your uncle, Uncle Chris, was about eight. | ||
