| This afternoon, the Texas Board of Education voted and narrowly approved a controversial new curriculum that puts the Bible front and center in public classrooms. | ||
| Despite pushback from some educators and parents, the board greenlit Christianity-infused lessons, a decision that tests the boundaries of the First Amendment and the separation of church and state. | ||
| Joining us now, NBC News correspondent Antonia Hilton. | ||
| So, what was the debate like on this issue? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Fierce. | |
| And by the way, bipartisan. | ||
| And I mean that not that it was Democrats versus Republicans, but that there really was a mix. | ||
| And it was incredibly diverse. | ||
| You had the black community coming forward, raising concerns that some of these changes were coming at the expense of, say, lessons about slavery. | ||
| This morning, Native American activists spoke out about the fact that they felt almost entirely excluded from the curriculum. | ||
| So it was a really messy, in some ways, very healthy debate. | ||
| But a narrow majority is moving forward with this new curriculum now. | ||
| So what's it going to look like? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, it means that there are going to be lessons from basically K through 5th grade that start incorporating some of Jesus' sermons and lessons like the Golden Rule. | |
| What proponents say is, well, those are really positive lessons that people of all backgrounds would love and enjoy, and it means your kid learns about good behavior. | ||
| But for people who are uncomfortable with this, they feel like it is a blurring of the line between church and state, and that it really shows preference for Christianity at the expense of other faiths. | ||
| Is there any move to try and incorporate some teachings from the Quran or some teachings from the Talmud, other teachings that might also be positive and beneficial for children, much in the same way they're arguing that the Bible teachings are? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Those other faiths are mentioned, but nowhere near to the extent that Christianity is mentioned. | |
| I mean, it is incorporated to the extent that Juneteenth in fifth grade will be taught to mention that Abraham Lincoln was a Christian and that part of the reason he freed black people from slavery was because of Christian teachings. | ||
| In other words, kind of Christianity is to thanks for, you know, to be... | ||
| You know, credited for your freedom, where some historians would say, well, that's not really the point of talking about Juneteenth with students, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I imagine this is going to the Supreme Court eventually. | ||
| They're going to sue, and courts will decide one way or another all the way up to the last court. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There's certainly a possibility for that. | |
| And both sides, by the way, are ready for that moment. | ||
| There are activists on both sides who have been preparing for this for quite a long time. | ||
| And for, you know, more Christian-leaning people and right-leaning people there, they're actually eager for that because they're hoping it could be overturned. | ||
| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
| Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people. | ||
| I've got a free shot on all these networks lying about the people. | ||
| The people have had a belly full of it. | ||
| I know you don't like hearing that. | ||
| I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
| It's going to happen. | ||
| And where do people like that go to share the big line? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mega Media. | |
| I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? | |
| If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. | ||

Here's your host, Stephen K. Vance. | |
| Blockbuster news out of Texas. | ||
| It's Friday, 22nd of November, year of our Lord, 2024. Lots of big exploding news happening everywhere. | ||
| We're going to get all to it. | ||
| Mike Davis is going to join me here in a moment. | ||
| But out of Texas, still very uncertain what is going on because this is kind of a blockbuster announcement. | ||
| Can we play? | ||
| Do we have cut just the end of that? | ||
| I want you to... | ||
|
unidentified
|
The NBC reporter who's covered this... | |
| To say she's in a state of shock would be to understate what shock is. | ||
| She's stunned, but it talks about what's actually been approved. | ||
| I want to play the end of that again. | ||
| It's such blockbuster news. | ||
| And good on you, the great state of Texas. | ||
| They're leading the way. | ||
| Hey, Florida, Ohio, Tennessee, all you other folks, we love you. | ||
| And Arizona, to say, hey, we take the MAGA lead? | ||
| I don't know, man. | ||
| Down in Texas. | ||
| Let's play it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Lessons from basically K through 5th grade that start incorporating some of Jesus' sermons and lessons like the Golden Rule. | |
| And what proponents say is, well, those are really positive lessons that people of all backgrounds would love and enjoy, and it means your kid learns about good behavior. | ||
| But for people who are uncomfortable with this, they feel like it is a blurring of the line between church and state, and that it really shows preference for Christianity at the expense of other faiths. | ||
| Is there any move to try and incorporate some teachings from the Quran or some teachings from the Talmud? | ||
| Other teachings that might also be positive and beneficial for children? | ||
| Yeah, Katie, they're positive. | ||
| They're good. | ||
| They're good. | ||
| But you got the teachings of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in a public school. | ||
| Oh, my Lord. | ||
| Blockbuster. | ||
| We're trying to round up some folks down in Texas and comment on that. | ||
| But major announcement from the Board of Education down there. | ||
| And a vote today to put basically Christian teachings back into... | ||
| Christian influenced teachings back into school from kindergarten to fifth grade. | ||
| And we'll have more hopefully later in the show. | ||
| Other big announcements we think are coming out here momentarily from Trump World. | ||
| I think you're going to like them. | ||
| Mike Davis. | ||
| Brother, you've got to help me out here, man. | ||
| I can't... | ||
| Just help me out here conceptually. | ||
| I've just got to know this. | ||
| Did the Senate make a deal on the judges just so they can get out of town early for Thanksgiving break? | ||
| Because I don't think anybody's here working next week. | ||
| Except all the transition teams working here in D.C. and, of course, in West Palm Beach and over at Mar-a-Lago. | ||
| But did the Senate make a deal to get out of town on the judges, sir? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| I think Senate Democrats made a deal, and this was a big win for our side. | ||
| It was a big win for the war room because we lit up the Senate and got Senate Republicans to show up and vote and force these votes to grind the Senate to a halt. | ||
| Which was really important, because now what we've had is that Senate Democrats, Joe Biden, Chuck Schumer, and Senate Democrats, have said they're not going to try to confirm four circuit judges to the critically important federal courts of appeal. | ||
| So, based upon my numbers, it looks like President Trump was able to confirm 234 Article III judges in his first term, including 54 judges to the critically important federal courts of appeals. | ||
| President Biden, after this deal, I think he's going to be one short of that. | ||
| I think he's going to be at 233, and he's going to only be at 45. So we're in a very good place with this deal. | ||
| Look, if the Senate Democrats wanted to, if they wanted to grind this out, they would have confirmed these circuit judges First, the four circuit judges to these critically important federal courts of appeals, and then they would have probably been able to confirm the rest of these district court judges over the course between now and the end of the holidays. | ||
| But by coming to this deal by taking these four circuit judges completely off the table, this is a big win for our side. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Particularly since the Friday, and I'm juggling about 200 balls. | ||
| This has been so important, Mike, since Elizabeth Warren, Focahontas, started raving about it, ranting and raving about it. | ||
| On the 5th of November, when she was calling the Democrats to get back, just walk me through the math again. | ||
| How many potential billets were there? | ||
| And how many were they able to fill in the two weeks In the deal that was cut, and how many did we actually keep for Trump? | ||
| Okay, that's right, because I heard at first there were 47, then there were 20. How many did they actually get approved in this two-week period, including the deal that we just cut? | ||
| Well, they've been able to confirm several over the last couple weeks since the election, but what we've been able to save with this are the four critically important slots to these circuit courts. | ||
| And so that's the win, right? | ||
| That's the big win because these would have been filled By Joe Biden with these radical judges and by the war room posse lighting up the Senate switchboard by going to the article3project.org and taking action and hitting them up with social media and email and lighting up their phone lines and getting these Senate Republicans to actually show up. | ||
| There are now four slots that are going to be filled by Trump appellate court judges Is it your understanding that we traded off the other—and I'm not trying to look up, you know, a deal in the mouth, but when I look at those four appellate, and let me say— I'm not an expert here. | ||
| I rely upon you and McGinley and others, Jeff Clark, Paoletta, the Hammer Squad. | ||
| But when I see those appellate judges, I look at them, and you came up with the concept. | ||
| You said, hey, Steve, this is the bottom of the barrel. | ||
| All these guys are the bottom of the barrel. | ||
| Is it that, were those four even close to being confirmable, even with some Democrats? | ||
| And did we give up too many of the district? | ||
| Because, as you know, in deconstructing the administrative state, your guy, who, after Justice Thomas, I think it will be the Gorsuch Court, since he's led us intellectually in the Chevron deference, and now we're, you know, these frontline judges are so important. | ||
| The frontline judges of the district were so important to combat the administrative state. | ||
| Did we give up too much in the first round, in the frontline judges to hold off in the appellates, which these guys look so radical as I just checked their background. | ||
| They might not be confirmable anyway, sir. | ||
| Well, they were able to get through a very radical judge on the 11th Circuit because Republicans didn't show up to work. | ||
| And that was the problem. | ||
| When you have Republicans who don't show up to work, you can get these radical judges through. | ||
| And by taking these four circuit judges Completely off the table. | ||
| We don't have to worry now if J.D. Vance is doing transition stuff or if, you know, Marco Rubio is doing transition stuff as the Secretary of State nominee. | ||
| I think this is a big win, right, to get these four circuit slots where four circuit slots that very easily could have gone to Joe Biden now are very much going to go to President Trump. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| What is your overall assessment of where we stand with overall judges as they kind of wind down the Biden? | ||
| What's the number? | ||
| Is Biden going to be able to surpass Trump? | ||
| Will the end number, their throw weight, be greater than our throw weight? | ||
| No, I think that if you look at Trump's first term, it was 234 Article III judges, three Supreme Court justices, 54 judges, circuit judges to the critically important federal courts of appeals. | ||
| I think Biden's going to be one short of that at 233, with only one Supreme Court justice, Kataji I think? | ||
| We broke a lot of China in President Trump's first term to confirm these judges. | ||
| I think I broke every piece of China in the Senate before I left, and then I continued to help Trump confirm his judges for the last two years from the Article III project. | ||
| We got a lot done, but Biden was able to take advantage of the broken China and confirm Mike, I know you've got to bounce, | ||
| but I'm going to ask you to stay through a short commercial break because I have a couple of questions. | ||
| Questions, I think the audience needs to hear before they wrap up a work week here and maybe go out and have an adult beverage. | ||
| Some thoughts about the Attorney General, what's happening at DOJ, etc. | ||
| So Mike Davis is with us. | ||
| The Senate has cut a deal. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We took off the table four appellate court judges. | |
| And as you can tell, particularly in Washington, D.C., The problems we have with these appellate courts, the way to sort it out is make sure they don't get the picks. | ||
| We'll be back. | ||
| There's so much going on today. | ||
| We're going to focus here on deconstructing the administrative state, particularly the efforts to clean up the Justice Department and the FBI. I think some big announcements. | ||
| We're going to be popping down in Mar-a-Lago maybe any minute, and we'll cover those live. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||

| Philip Patrick's going to join me tomorrow. | ||
| We're going to walk through capital markets. | ||
| I'm also going to walk through what the new Secretary of Treasury will face in the first, I don't know, 60, 90 days of President Trump's second term. | ||

Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. - Okay, I've got... | |
| So, this will all be clear here in a few minutes. | ||
| There's some bombshell announcements coming out. | ||
| And we want to make sure as soon as they hit the wire... | ||
| That we're here to share with the War Room Posse, and I think we'll be very appreciative. | ||
| Can I play these? | ||
| Are we ready? | ||
| Can we play these? | ||
| Are they loaded? | ||
| Just tell me when. | ||
| Mike, in this focus of the administrative state and the deep state, the lead... | ||
| Hang on. | ||
| Let me play from MSNBC this afternoon, and I'll have you respond. | ||
| Let's go ahead and play. | ||
|

|
Well, to the point you made, Andrew, about her prior statements, I want to play something for all of you that Pam Bondi said back in August of 2023. Take a listen. | |
| When Republicans take back the White House, you know what's going to happen? | ||
| The Department of Justice, the prosecutors will be prosecuted, the bad ones. | ||
| The investigators will be investigated. | ||
| Because the deep state, last term for President Trump, they were hiding in the shadows. | ||
| But now they have a spotlight on them, and they can all be investigated. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What does that mean? | |
| I think we should take Pam Bondi at her word until she disavows that word during her confirmation hearings or something else. | ||
| But I think there's at least a will there to begin to do an investigation, as she says, of the people like Jack Smith or state prosecutors who have been involved in prosecuting Donald Trump. | ||
| This nomination hearing now becomes specifically not about the fitness of the nominee, like we were discussing with Matt Gaetz, but about Donald Trump's view of the Department of Justice and about Pam Bondi's willingness to execute on Donald Trump's agenda. | ||
| Now this goes very quickly, the questioning does in a Senate confirmation hearing, to do you think the Department of Justice should be an arm of the Executive Office of the President? | ||
| Do you think that if Donald Trump suggests you prosecute a specific individual, that you have a duty to the president to honor that wish? | ||
| And we've seen this game before on Capitol Hill. | ||
| Pam Bondi cannot answer those questions any other way but how Donald Trump wants those questions answered. | ||
| Unitary theory of the executive. | ||
| This gets down to the deconstruction of the administrative state. | ||
| The holding the deep state accountable. | ||
| This is going to be a firestorm. | ||
| And by the way, there's a natural bias. | ||
| Pam Bonney is one of the nicest and best people we'll ever meet. | ||
| There's a bias among the War Room production staff because she's a University of Florida gator. | ||
| And there's a couple of three gators in the production staff. | ||
| They're always trying to promote gators. | ||
| Mike Davis, you saw it right there. | ||
| You're getting down to it. | ||
| Pam Bondi, and this was in August of 24. She's throwing down hard right in the run-up to the November election. | ||
| And they're all over now. | ||
| They've made a decision. | ||
| Pam Bondi is not Matt Gaetz. | ||
| There's not going to be any personal issues. | ||
| She's been an attorney general. | ||
| I think for a couple of terms in Florida, she's pretty highly regarded. | ||
| They're coming after her as the AG on policy. | ||
| So this hearing is going to be quite different than it was for Gates. | ||
| What do you make of it, Mike? | ||
| And what do you make of Pam Bondi? | ||
| I think Pam Bondi's an excellent pick because she's bold, she's fearless, she has decades of experience as an attorney, and she was the Florida Attorney General for eight years. | ||
| And so she knows how to run a big AG's office. | ||
| She was also President Trump's first impeachment attorney for the first impeachment hoax. | ||
| She's going to be great as Attorney General. | ||
| She's coming from outside of Washington, D.C., and look, This is what the left needs to understand and the Uniparty inside of D.C. The American people elect the President of the United States and we elected President Trump in a landslide victory, 312 electoral votes. | ||
| He runs the executive branch. | ||
| That includes the Justice Department, the Attorney General of the United States, Hang on. | ||
| Hang on. | ||
| Yo, hang on. | ||
| But this is the Watergate. | ||
| Because Bobby Kennedy was Jack Kennedy's. | ||
| He was also like his chief of staff. | ||
| That's how the old man Kennedy, Joe Kennedy, set it up. | ||
| This is a fallout from Watergate. | ||
| I want to make sure we go back to this. | ||
| Understand the construct. | ||
| Because, folks, ideas have consequences all the way through. | ||
| This unitary theory is that the Constitution says he's the chief executive of the government, he's the commander-in-chief of the military, and he's chief magistrate and the chief law enforcement officer, right? | ||
| They've taken that off since Watergate. | ||
| And the radical Democrats have infested that building and now justice runs as an independent entity to come against any conservative president. | ||
| Is that essentially what it is? | ||
| And inside the executive branch, you don't have a balance of, you don't have the, you don't have checks and balances inside the executive branch. | ||
| That's where the deep state and the administrative states sit and they go, wait, we'll check your security clearances and see if you guys are okay. | ||
| What Trump's trying to do is shatter that. | ||
| Is it not, sir? | ||
| And that's what he should do, because that's what's required under the Constitution, right? | ||
| The president has the executive power. | ||
| The executive power belongs to the president, and he runs the executive branch. | ||
| The attorney general reports to the president. | ||
| The president can give the attorney general policy orders. | ||
| The President, if you look at history, Mark Paoletta has written good pieces on this. | ||
| The President of the United States in our history has actually ordered the Attorney General to arrest and indict specific individuals, right? | ||
| So the President absolutely runs the executive branch. | ||
| And the idea that the FBI is separate from the President, that the President can't control the FBI, is just wrong as a matter of constitutional law. | ||
| Remember With the FBI, there is an up to 10-year term on that. | ||
| That doesn't mean that's a minimum term. | ||
| That's a maximum term. | ||
| And the reason Congress did that is because the FBI under J. Edgar Hoover had too much power. | ||
| The director had too much power. | ||
| So they wanted to cap That power by saying he can only stay in office for up to 10 years. | ||
| It's not a 10-year minimum. | ||
| So on day one, President Trump should fire Chris Wray. | ||
| He should hire an FBI director who will report to Trump's deputy attorney general, who will report to Trump's attorney general, and the attorney general will report to President Trump. | ||
| Mike, so far, the picks you've seen both in the White House Counsel's Office and over at the many choice picks they've already made over at the Attorney General. | ||
| Give our audience the Viceroy's take on these. | ||
| Bill McGinley is awesome. | ||
| He's a friend of The war room. | ||
| He's a friend of yours and mine, Steve. | ||
| He's going to be the White House counsel. | ||
| He's been a loyal soldier to President Trump. | ||
| He was the whip at the highly successful convention for President Trump where they updated the platform and made it a political document instead of a legal document for lobbyists. | ||
| Bill McGinley's been in Washington for many, many years, but he's not captured by the swamp. | ||
| He's full MAGA. He was the White House Cabinet Secretary under Trump the first time he's going to make a really good White House counsel. | ||
| We have Pam Bondi. | ||
| As the Attorney General, again, eight years of experience as the Florida Attorney General, a loyal Trump supporter, Trump's impeachment lawyer the first time. | ||
| She's going to do a great job of bringing much-needed reforms to the Justice Department, particularly the National Security Division and the FBI, Todd Blanche. | ||
| As the Deputy Attorney General, he's been Trump's lawyer fighting this lawfare in the courtrooms for over two years, so he knows what he's up against. | ||
| He's seen this weaponized justice system and FBI against his client for two years. | ||
| He's going to be the Chief Operating Officer. | ||
| Of the Justice Department as the Deputy Attorney General. | ||
| And then John Sauer as the Solicitor General. | ||
| He's great. | ||
| He's the guy who was the Missouri Solicitor General, Trump's attorney, who came up with the presidential immunity arguments that he ultimately prevailed at the Supreme Court. | ||
| A lot of people laughed at John Sauer, and then he got the most monumental victory at the Supreme Court, 6-3, one of the biggest Victories at the Supreme Court in American history, and now he's going to be the Solicitor General of the United States. | ||
| So President Trump has clearly learned his lesson from his first term on personnel, and he's hiring an all-star legal team to help him take on the administrative state, to help him take on this lawfare and election interference and reclaim the justice system for the American people. | ||
| And by the way, huge, give the audience an update, huge win today in New York that Mershon, I think he's canceled sentencing? | ||
| Bragg's still trying to hang in there and say, no, no, this is just on delay, but I think the sentencing has been canceled, as you predicted, Viceroy? | ||
| Yeah, Judge Juan Mershon, it sounds like they're in full retreat on this lawfare and election interference. | ||
| Remember they said it has nothing to do with the election. | ||
| These are about these crimes that Trump supposedly committed. | ||
| And then when Trump beat them like a drum on November 5th, they're all simultaneously in retreat. | ||
| So maybe it was about election interference all along. | ||
| There has to be accountability here, and I hope Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche bring this accountability in the form of a criminal probe under 18 U.S.C. Section 241 Conspiracy Against Rights for this republic-ending lawfare and election interference by these Democrat prosecutors and operatives in D.C., New York, Atlanta. | ||
| This can never happen again. | ||
| There must be severe legal, political, and financial consequences. | ||
| Nobody is above the law. | ||
| Mike Davis, where do people go to get Article 3? | ||
| You're on fire, brother. | ||

In his first term, I represented several of his cabinet officers, many of the individuals I represented several of his cabinet officers, many of the individuals who ended up writing And there were people in the first White House who would take documents off his desk so that he wouldn't see them and couldn't sign them. | |
| In this next administration, like some of the individuals you've talked about in your last segment and other times, those individuals we expect will be bringing documents to his desk for him to sign, whether he reads them or not. | ||
| It's the people who will be surrounding him. | ||
| That we have the biggest concern about. | ||
| Not just the cabinet members, who will be the deputies, the chief of staffs, the general counsels. | ||
| That will determine the fears or level of fear anyone should have come January 20th. | ||
| I always took quite seriously the relationship between Project 2025 and J.D. Vance, Donald Trump. | ||
| And I think, unfortunately, there are a lot of Americans who may have even voted for Donald Trump, who may not have known about it because of the ecosystem that they were in, in terms of media, or they simply voted for Donald Trump because they were upset about prices, something was going on in their own lives. | ||
| I don't know, but I'm not sure that the Project 2025 agenda was what they voted for. | ||
| And to be clear, It is a deeply unpopular agenda. | ||
| I mean, another way to think about what happened in the election, which was very close, and we now know how close the election actually was, is that across America, even in places where Donald Trump won, you had popular referendums and support shown for things like abortion rights. | ||
| For things like LGBTQ rights. | ||
| And so these are in direct opposition to Project 2025, which is an extreme, really Christian nationalist. | ||
| And I really hesitate to even use the word Christian, you know, in this conversation about this document and this plan. | ||
| So this is not a popular agenda. | ||
| And I think that, again, we have to really look at the ways in which these policies would impact everyday Americans, not how they're going to impact the Democratic Party. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| Okay, welcome back to the War Room on a Friday. | ||
| By the way, next hour, we're going to be talking, we're going to focus on Brazil for a little while. | ||
| Bolsonaro indicted along with 35 of his guys. | ||
| We're going to have one of the individuals who was actually indicted with President Bolsonaro to talk about that. | ||
| Also, big breaking news out of Senator Johnson. | ||
| Dropped a bombshell on Big Pharmaceutical today. | ||
| Big Pharma saying preserve your documents like Pfizer. | ||
| Naomi Wolf's going to be here. | ||
| We've got updates on some anti-CCP activity. | ||
| It's going to be fantastic. | ||
| I think Ben Harnwell is even going to try to join us, stay up late, and try to join us. | ||
| We've got a lot going on, this metastasizing war in Ukraine. | ||
| Also, I think some big announcements coming out of Mar-a-Lago. | ||
| We'll cover it all. | ||
| Christian Nationalism Project 2025 right there. | ||
| You see, we have them on their back foot, and this gets back to my point of flood the zone. | ||
| Flood the zone with policy ideas, flood the zone with directives, flood the zone with personnel. | ||
| If we allow these guys to regroup... | ||
| It's even going to make things tougher and tougher and tougher. | ||
| If Kobayashi, do we have that? | ||
| I want to get to that tweet in a second. | ||
| Birchgold.com. | ||
| Now more than ever, particularly in times of instability, financial instability, we've had this massive inflation over the last year. | ||
| How President Trump and his economic team, which would be the chairman of the National Economic Council, People like Bob Lighthizer and Peter Navarro, wherever they end up. | ||
| People like over Treasury, OMB, that complete financial team, OMB working with the Doge Group, the advisors. | ||
| Marjorie Taylor Greene kind of broke it on here that she was getting a subcommittee that would work with Doge. | ||
| And they're going to have a big part in not just the deconstruction of the Ministry of State, but also to show... | ||
| Where we're going on actually cuts to the budget. | ||
| One thing, Semaphore had the story today, which I think the first time we actually had it, was today reaffirming what we have been talking about, which is this firestorm is going to come and kind of engulf Everything in front of it. | ||
| And that is the debt ceiling, the reversions of the tax cuts, and working on a new budget. | ||
| And that budget and the appropriations will come after they do a CR and kick it into President Trump's administration. | ||
| So it's President Trump's team that is doing it. | ||
| And remember, right now, and I think Kobayashi, if you can put up the... | ||
| I'm not even sure I can read it because I had it up on my phone and I don't have it now. | ||
| Hang on, I might have it right here. | ||
| Kobayashi, yeah, right here. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| So this is from Kobayashi. | ||
| You can put it up on the screen. | ||
| I want to read this, the Kobayashi letter, which is one of the best, I don't know, Twitter sites. | ||
| Breaking total U.S. debt has officially hit $36 trillion for the first time in history, according to U.S. government data. | ||
| Since the start of the year, total U.S. debt is now up by a whopping... | ||
| Wait for it, folks. | ||
| Called here in the war room. | ||
| At the beginning of the year, $2 trillion we added. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| In other words, U.S. has added an average of $6.3 billion per day for the last 316 days in a row. | ||
| This means the U.S. government now holds $108,000 in debt for every American. | ||
| I believe for every household, it's $242,000 in debt. | ||
| Now, here's what I want you to think about this. | ||
| This is like a second mortgage on your house. | ||
| You know, I talk about home title lock all the time. | ||
| It's not letting somebody get to your title and monetize it by taking out a second mortgage with one of these hard money lenders that you have to pay. | ||
| The proceeds go to the criminals and you have to pay off the loan. | ||
| And it can change your life. | ||
| So go over to hometitlelock.com and check that out. | ||
| Bannon, you get the free month and you get the free checking on your title up to date. | ||
| But there's another insidious way That the government racks you with debt and this is one of the things that drives inflation because they have to finance this debt. | ||
| And one third roughly of the debt every year has to be turned over and financed. | ||
| And they've been financing short terms like banana republics or third world countries. | ||
| Because those countries can't... | ||
| Borrow long because people don't trust them to keep their house in order. | ||
| Janet Yellen's been doing this to kind of keep rates down and what it's done is just driven more and more inflation. | ||
| Now with Kobayashi, he continues on to say that deficit spending As a percentage of GDP is currently up to World War II levels while the Fed calls for a soft landing. | ||
| We are in desperate need of a change right now. | ||
| We are on unsustainable fiscal path. | ||
| What's the long-term plan? | ||
| I think President Trump is going to have some announcements today that kind of lay out where he's going to go in this direction with, I think, some announcements relating to his financial and economic team. | ||
| But this is unsustainable. | ||
| The percentage of your deficit, I think, is at 7% or 8%, which is what was at the height of World War II when we ramped up World War II to go to full production, right? | ||
| I mean, it was amazing what happened in Detroit, what happened out in the Midwest with airplane production and tank production. | ||
| You know, shifting off of cars and automobiles to half tracks and personnel carriers, tanks, ships, shipbuilding, the capital equipment. | ||
| We became the arsenal for democracy to really assist our allies in helping us and all of us win the war, whether that was the Russian people or the British people and the Chinese people. | ||
| Those are really the big four allies in the United States. | ||
| But we've been running at this with no, you know, kind of in the pandemic you had to because you had the massive drop in aggregate demand at the beginning. | ||
| But then you should have stopped it and throttled back. | ||
| It hasn't been. | ||
| This spending is out of control. | ||
| And this is what the economic team, and this is a first order. | ||
| We've got to seal the border and you've got to start the deportations. | ||
| But if you don't get the economics of it correct, and this is what in the, you know, in the last first term. | ||
| And people say, oh, they're so chaotic at the beginning. | ||
| Well, hey. | ||
| When you say it's chaotic, we have pretty good checkings and, quite frankly, had the economic plan. | ||
| Remember, only McCain, one vote, stopped from President Trump getting what he wanted on the healthcare side. | ||
| But at the same time, we were grinding through the tax cuts and the rest of the economic plan, the deregulation. | ||
| What was done in 2017 laid the predicate. | ||
| Laid the predicate for 18 and 19. Those boom years in 19 really knocked it out of the park. | ||
| Over 3% growth. | ||
| Inflation down to near zero. | ||
| Unemployment down below, what, 2%. | ||
| Hispanic unemployment, all-time lows. | ||
| African-American unemployment, all-time lows. | ||
| Blue-collar wages rising quicker than white-collar wages. | ||
| Non-college graduates higher than college graduates, the credential class. | ||
| Kind of on a tear. | ||
| Kind of on a tear. | ||
| And at the same time, people forget this. | ||
| Janet Yellen, who's Federal Reserve Chairman there, she took off almost a trillion dollars off of the balance sheet of the Fed. | ||
| She did quantitative tightening, not quantitative easing. | ||
| Quantitative easing where you're juicing the system with liquidity. | ||
|
unidentified
|
She was doing the exact opposite. | |
| These are kind of the lines of attack right now. | ||
| If you see what the resistance, and particularly the Biden regime, what they're doing in every aspect of it. | ||
| They're playing around right now with the balance sheet of the Fed. | ||
| They're playing around with how they finance this. | ||
| They're trying to leave President Trump with a disaster. | ||
| Number one, a disaster. | ||
| Number two, on the border. | ||
| You see, they've even created an app that's going to go up to December 3rd to allow more illegal alien invaders in here so we have a bigger, more massive problem to deal with. | ||
| As bad as those are, the one I think has actually been out of control and is getting more and more dangerous, we're going to talk about in the next hour, and this is situation in Ukraine. | ||
| The situation in Ukraine is, you know, the former, I think, chief of staff of the Ukrainian army has said, hey, World War III has started. | ||
| Now, we've been talking about World War III starting for over a year now. | ||
| But he's saying, hey, actually the kinetic part of it, not the kind of the geostrategic part of it. | ||
| So this is getting more and more and more serious. | ||
| That's where the transition, and remember, the transition is down there. | ||
| Marco Rubio is down interviewing people to go into his State Department. | ||
| Pete Hexeth is down there interviewing people to basically, the senior levels to man up the Defense Department. | ||
| Kristi Noem's doing the same thing for DHS. Tulsi Gabbard is actually meeting. | ||
| She doesn't bring a lot of senior appointees. | ||
| Hers is more of a managerial function of all 18, think about it, 18 intelligence agencies. | ||
| And of course, RFK, you know, RFK is doing everything over HHS. He has already announced he wants to work hand-in-glove. | ||
| With agriculture, and we had Nicole Shanahan on early in the week. | ||
| She walked through some of her kind of non-traditional choices for ag because she says, hey, if we're going to make America healthy again, MAHA. And Bobby Kennedy is going to lead that charge. | ||
| You have to have agriculture because it's both the intakes with food and dealing with, as she said, starting to focus on the soil of this country in conjunction with the Department of Agriculture. | ||
| So, in fact, I think it's rumored, may even be announced, it's rumored it's going to be Kelly Loeffler. | ||
| Like I said, she was the number one on my bingo card for that, but... | ||
| We'll deal with it, accommodate it, and figure it out about people they're going to put in around her. | ||
| That was not number one on Nicole Sheridan's list either. | ||
| A couple things. | ||
| We're going to go to break here. | ||
| Of course, Christian National Project 2025, now they're all freaked out. | ||
| You're seeing people maybe were associated with the project, showing up in the government, as they should. | ||
| These are some of the most talented people in the world. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| A lot of them, or most of them, worked in President Trump's first term. | ||
| And they're not just loyal, they know they're smart and tough. | ||
| So you're going to see more and more of that. | ||
| Jim Rickards, we love having Rickards on here. | ||
| He may end up being the one contributor that doesn't go into the administration. | ||
| So we're going to be rubbing up on Rickards a lot more. | ||
| Rickard's specialty is global capital markets and geopolitics. | ||
| It gives you a unique perspective that people, number one, find fascinating. | ||
| Number two, it helps them think through where the world is for investment opportunities. | ||
| Paradigm Press is the company that puts out these newsletters. | ||
| Go to Meltdown. | ||
| They've got a landing page just for us. | ||
| Meltdown24.com. | ||
| Go there, you get all of Rickard's stuff. | ||
| So Meltdown24.com. | ||
| 24.com, Paradigm Press, the newsletters of Jim Rickards and his books and all of it. | ||
| Of course, Birch Gold. | ||
| Philip Patrick's going to be with me tomorrow. | ||
| We're going to walk through where everything is because some great and big announcements coming, I think, here shortly from Mar-a-Lago. | ||
| President's working as he does all day. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| Big news out of Texas. | ||
| Christianity back in soon. | ||

| We're live in the morning at 10 a.m. | ||
| Don't want to miss that. | ||
| It's going to be on fire. | ||
| Some big announcements coming. | ||
| Six o'clock hour. | ||
| We're going to pivot a little bit. | ||
| I've got to explain to you what's happening around the world. | ||
| Le Pen looks like they're trying to indict her or they're trying to wrap her up in some sort of legal proceedings. | ||
| They're going after Bolsonaro. | ||
| This is exactly... | ||
| They look at the playbook. | ||
| Of what the deep state does, what they did against President Trump. | ||
| Of course, Mershon today basically canceled the sentencing. | ||
| They told us they had nothing to do, you know, that fiasco in New York had nothing to do with the 2024 election. | ||
| Of course, when President Trump won in a landslide, all of a sudden they're like, oh, well, maybe we got to rethink this. | ||
| Yeah, you damn well better rethink it because it's unacceptable what you've tried to do this individual. | ||
| And this is why with Pam Bondi, Can we play that clip of Pam? | ||
| I guess we're going to run out of time. | ||
| Maybe we'll try to play it in the next hour. | ||
| With Pam Bondi now going to be Attorney General, Mitt Romney just came out and endorsed her, so I think it's looking like we're a ways away from the confirmation here. | ||
| You got it? | ||
| Oh, what happened? | ||
| Is that what you got? | ||
| Yeah, Pam Bondi. | ||
| Let's play it. | ||
| Let's hit it. | ||
| Let me hit it. | ||
|

|
In his first term, I represented several of his cabinet officers, many of the individuals who ended up writing books, and there were people in the first White House who would take documents off his desk so that he wouldn't see them. | |
| Hang on. | ||
| Thank you, guys. | ||
| That said clip one, but we played clip. | ||
| Pam Bondi, what she said in the run-up to the election is that you had to go after the prosecutors that came after him. | ||
| You had to go, this is McCabe, this is Comey, this is Weissman, this is all the guys over at MSNBC, this is Jack Smith, this is Lisa Monaco, this is Merrick Garland. | ||
| Yes, she said it, and confirmation there to ask about it. | ||
| This is not a witch hunt. | ||
| This is not revenge. | ||
| This is not retribution. | ||
| It has nothing to do with that. | ||
| You must wring this out of the system. | ||
| This can never be allowed to happen again. | ||
| They went after President Trump, and they wanted to imprison him for 20 years. | ||
| If we had lost on Tuesday the 5th, the next day, Jack Smith, the wise guy, was going to drop a superseding indictment. | ||
| That's that 168-page report of nothing but a tissue of lies. | ||
| So Jack Smith, you've already resigned. | ||
| You're quitting. | ||
| I know you're going to try to run back to The Hague, but bro, you better run to a place that don't have an extradition treaty because you are not just going to be investigated. | ||
| Ultimately, you're going to be indicted and you're going to be tried. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| You guys, all you guys put so many people in bankruptcy. | ||
| What is good for the goose is even better for the gander. | ||
| And you're going to find out. | ||
| And putting the team over justice today... | ||
| Not for retribution, to putting the team over justice, to make sure we set things right, and this is never allowed to happen again, what happened to President Trump and the people around President Trump in the future. | ||
| We're going to wring it out of the system. | ||
| As sure as the turning of the earth. | ||
| Okay, Johnny Kahn takes that with American heart. | ||
| We're cruising to the next hour. | ||
| President Bolsonaro indicted along with 35 others, so 36 people totally indicted in Brazil for a suspected coup. | ||
| You know what that was? | ||
| They were even questioning the machines in the use of the election that brought Lula to power. | ||
| Also turned out Xi was down there, President Xi. | ||
|

|
Hmm. | |
| There are no coincidences. | ||
| Short break. |
