| 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? | ||

Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? | |

War Room. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Band. | ||
| Okay, welcome back. | ||
| It is Saturday, one of our favorite shows of the week. | ||
| Always my personal favorite. | ||
| Saturday, 25 January, Year of Our Lord, 2025. I'll be speaking in Denton, Texas tonight at the Lincoln Reagan Day dinner. | ||
| Honored to be invited down there by Glenn's story and the team. | ||
| PatriotMobile.com. | ||

| A fantastic, a patriot economy. | ||
| They support your values. | ||
| It's a Christian company with Christian values. | ||
| So make sure you go check it out today. | ||
| Also, Birch Gold. | ||
| So honored that Birch Gold is our sponsor. | ||
| Had quite a run over there. | ||
| But now things are going to get choppy. | ||
| We're going to talk about in a moment about the budget cutting and Doge and what's happening and everything that's going on. | ||
| Because it's got to happen now. | ||
| We have to know now. | ||
| We have to represent now. | ||
| But go to Birch Gold because you can get a... | ||
| You can talk to Philip Patrick and the team and find out what gold is a hedge, particularly in today's environment. | ||
| You might need one. | ||
| Text Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N at 989898. Get all the IRA and 401ks. | ||
| Also have a free booklet, Buying Gold in the Age of Trump, during the Trump administration. | ||
| Get it, read it, think about it. | ||
| We're here to give you access and information. | ||
| Also, get the end of the dollar empire. | ||
| You must read, there's been a storming of, to get this new free installment, modern monetary theory, an idea that broke the world. | ||
| Terrible idea, not thought through, like many that kind of come up and people put them into motion. | ||
| Okay, we've got two things. | ||
| Pete Hegseth, in this audience, something just happened a moment ago. | ||
| Pete Hegseth voted last night. | ||
| Pete Hegseth was sworn in. | ||
| As the Secretary of Defense, this audience was fixed. | ||
| That's that one hour, that defining moment weeks ago when they wanted to turn out Pete Hegseth. | ||
| And if they had turned out Pete Hegseth, they had dropped Pete Hegseth after dropping Gates. | ||
| The left and the established order of Republicans like Mitch McConnell would have crushed us. | ||
| Crushed us. | ||
| Crushed us. | ||
| It didn't happen because this audience. | ||
| You went to the Ramparts and blew up their phones, their emails, all of it. | ||
| Let's go to, I want to go out to Vegas, a big event today. | ||
| Real America's Voice is going to be all over it. | ||
| Our own David Zier is with us. | ||
| David, where are you, why are you, and what are you, sir? | ||
| We're on the Vegas Strip. | ||
| We're at the Circa Casino and Resort. | ||
| We have live coverage starting at 1 p.m. | ||
| Eastern today. | ||
| Trump expected to come on about 3, 3.30. | ||
| And this is important. | ||
| Trump's here to thank the Nevadan voters, put them over the top by about three points. | ||
| First Republican to win Nevada in 20 years here. | ||
| As you know, early voting records were set by Donald Trump here. | ||
| But this was important. | ||
| I covered the campaign on the ground in Vegas last year. | ||
| He met with Hispanic business owners. | ||
| He met with all kinds of people on the no tax on tips and restaurant owners here. | ||
| And 17% of the workers in Nevada depend on tips as opposed to about 2.5% nationally. | ||
| Michael McDonald, the GOP leader for Nevada, who was a storm supporter of Trump throughout the 2024 campaign. | ||
| Governor Lombardo will be here. | ||
| I didn't see Governor Lombardo out on the trail too much for Donald Trump last year. | ||
| He did send his lieutenant governor to a lot of it. | ||
| Just a side note here. | ||
| Well, hang on, hang on. | ||
| Hang on, hang on. | ||
| Ho, ho, ho, ho. | ||
| Lombardo's no fan of Trump's. | ||
| Trump got him the office. | ||
| No fan of Trump's. | ||
| He thinks he's got the deal. | ||
| With the Culinary Union. | ||
| Let's talk truth to power here. | ||
| And the Culinary Union just made it. | ||
| He delivered for them. | ||
| They just cut a deal where now it's on the strip. | ||
| It's all union. | ||
| Is that not correct, David Zier? | ||
| Yeah, it's 100% union. | ||
| There was a 25-year battle with the Adelsons and the new owners of the Venetian. | ||
| 4,000 workers got a contract that will raise their pay from $25 to $36 an hour over the next five years. | ||
| 33% pay increase. | ||
| So now the Las Vegas Strip is 100% unionized. | ||
| So Trump did get a lot of support for No Tax on Tips. | ||
| It was his idea. | ||
| Kamala jumped on it afterwards. | ||
| The union still backed Kamala. | ||
| There's 66,000 members. | ||
| The Culinary Workers Union, the largest union in the state of Nevada. | ||
| But, you know, even though a lot of them are still loyal to the Democratic machine here because of that deal, we expect a lot of culinary workers here in support of Trump. | ||
| These guys are MAGA. They will vote. | ||
| Okay, so David, I want to go through logistics. | ||
| When you say 3.30, is that local time or Eastern Standard Time? | ||
| Eastern. | ||
| Okay, so 12.30 out there. | ||
| It's three hours difference. | ||
| Okay, so in the order of battle at 3.30, we're going to have coverage after we leave. | ||
| You're going to be out there. | ||
| I think Seagal Chata is going to join us here in a minute. | ||
| She was critical with Mike McDonald for driving the Trump campaign out there. | ||
| Of course, our own Cash Patel. | ||
| President Trump, you're going to have a rally. | ||
| You're going to talk to people in the line of rally. | ||
| But then President Trump is actually going to walk to a hotel and walk to a casino, I think, and just meet and greet regular folks and talk, workers, and talk about the no tax on tips? | ||
| That's what we're hearing on the ground here. | ||
| I'm going to try to pull some of them on camera and talk to them. | ||
| I've been talking to them throughout the campaign. | ||
| The Uber drivers and everybody that I talk to here, the cost of living in Vegas has exploded through the roof here over the last four or five years. | ||
| It's really a terrible situation. | ||
| Housing went from $6,800 a month to $1,300 to $1,600 a month. | ||
| They can't afford to live here. | ||
| And 145,000 dependents, you know, live off of the members of the Culinary Workers Union itself. | ||
| 400,000 workers here, you know, are in the service industry. | ||
| So if you put an extra $3,000 or $4,000 a year in your pocket, that's everything to these people here. | ||
| And Congressman Horsford has his own plan for no tax on tips where he says, you know, the rich can't get around it by making donations and claiming it's a tip. | ||
| But I think Rick Scott and Ted Cruz on the 16th brought legislation forward to push no tax on tips in the Senate. | ||
| No, it's huge. | ||
| David Zier, where can people get you? | ||
| You're going to take up coverage as soon as we're off, I think. | ||
| Where do people get you today on social media? | ||
| David Zier on X, at David Zier on everything else. | ||
| David Zier, thank you so much, brother. | ||
| Look forward to your coverage all day out in Nevada. | ||
| That was the swing state that surprised me the most. | ||
| Big win for President Trump, and that win came from members of the Culinary Union, and not just the middle class out there, but the workers out in Vegas. | ||
| Fully support. | ||
| We're going to get Seagal up here in a second. | ||
| Can we play, do we have Pete Hegseth? | ||
| Let's go ahead and play Pete Hegseth. | ||
| Pete Hegseth, a monumental moment for MAGA. Pete Hegseth takes the oath of Secretary of Defense. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Put your hand on the Bible, raise your right hand, and repeat after me. | |
| I, Pete Hegseth, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. | ||

|
Congratulations, Mr. Secretary. | |
| All praise and glory to God. | ||
| um His will be done, and we're grateful to be here. | ||
| And as I said in my hearing, it was Jesus and Jenny. | ||
| I would not be here without you, sweetheart. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| I want to thank the President of the United States, our Commander-in-Chief, Donald Trump. | ||
| We could not have a better Commander-in-Chief than him. | ||
| It is the honor of a lifetime, sir, to serve under you. | ||
| We look forward to having the backs of our troops and having your back in executing peace through strength, in putting America first, and in rebuilding our military. | ||
| Breaking the tie. | ||
| It's not the last time, or not the first time the headline reads, Junior Enlisted Marine Bails Out Junior Army Officer. | ||
| And, you know, some people were saying, well, 50-50, that's too tight. | ||
| And Senator Mark Wayne Mullen was nice enough to take my kids up to the gallery to watch the actual moment that the Vice President sealed the deal. | ||
| They came running in. | ||
| They said, Dad, instead of being sad about 50 to 50, 51 to 50, they said, Dad, you won in overtime. | ||
| That's the perspective I like. | ||
| So thank you. | ||
| Wow, Pete Hexeth. | ||
| All honor and glory to God. | ||
| All this yammering. | ||
| He's never had a big job. | ||
| Pete Hexeth is going to be fine. | ||
| He'd be very good. | ||
| May even be great. | ||
| He's a good man. | ||
| He's a warrior. | ||
| Right? | ||
| You're seeing it come together. | ||
| We're a steamroller when it's organized and we're on point. | ||
| Four weeks ago or five weeks ago, six weeks, we almost lost that guy. | ||
| And always remember, there are people around President Trump and there are people in that established or in the Republican Party that have never lifted a finger from MAGA, never lifted a finger of Trump. | ||
| They're in that ear all the time. | ||
| They're in that ear all the time. | ||
| Moderate. | ||
| Go soft. | ||
| Throw this guy under the bus. | ||
| We should have Gates. | ||
| Pam's going to be great as Attorney General. | ||
| She really is. | ||
| Teams coming together over there. | ||
| You can see it clicking. | ||
| Matt Gates was going to be next level. | ||
| Just was. | ||
| He'd been working on this for years. | ||
| Should have never given up on Gates. | ||
| Right there, taking that oath with Vice President Vance, we should have never given up on Gates, ever. | ||
| And Gates, quite frankly, should not have given up on himself. | ||
| There's a lesson here. | ||
| Do not give up on yourself. | ||
| Your cause, your task and your purpose is greater than yourself. | ||
| No matter what your shortcomings are, what your forables are. | ||
| You know, Tucker Carlson and Alex Jones and Steve Bannon and Pete Hegseth and Matt Gaetz and J.D. Vance and, you know. | ||
| Senator Rubio and Scott Besson, we're all very, very imperfect vessels. | ||
| It's also not the point. | ||
| The point is overcoming your imperfections for a greater and common cause. | ||
| Do you think there were angels back in the Revolution? | ||
| You see the histories of these guys? | ||
| You think Sam Adams was a day at the beach? | ||
| You think Thomas Paine was a good guy? | ||
| Think Jefferson, Hamilton, Burr. | ||
| Think about it. | ||
| The revolutionary generation and the framers had a lot of shortcomings. | ||
| They are not perfect individuals. | ||
| But they came together and played to their, wait for it, better angels. | ||
| Pete Hexeth is Secretary of Defense because of this audience. | ||
| In that defining moment, and it all comes down to defining moments, he can go either way. | ||
| They're inflection points. | ||
| I call it the unforgivable minute. | ||
| If you do it wrong, or you flinch, or you go down a path that leads to defeat, if you take the other route, it leads to victory. | ||
| It was 4 o'clock Eastern Standard Time. | ||
| I've got to get the date. | ||
| And we got the word, hey, they're going to change him out within the hour. | ||
| It's going to be reported. | ||
| People went to the ramparts. | ||
| Fixed bayonets, no way. | ||
| Hegseth's our guy. | ||
| Not simply for Hegseth because he was our guy, but what he symbolized. | ||
| You give up on Hegseth after you give up on Gates, they control it. | ||
| Not you. | ||
| They control it, not you. | ||
| Hey, and you've seen... | ||
| Everything coming together when we control it and President Trump's in charge. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So endeth the lesson. | |
| Hometidellock.com, we need you at the ramparts and we need you for moments like when... | ||
| Pete Hex's nomination hangs in the balance. | ||
| If you're sitting there going, hey, I've got a home, I'm paying down the mortgage, I've got equity in it, and somehow somebody gets into your title and takes a second out, you're not going to be watching the war room. | ||
| Or if you are, you're going to have that angst and anxiety about, how do I do this? | ||
| You're going to spend all your time trying to unwound that, and it's going to cost you a lot of money. | ||
| Don't take it from me. | ||
| And get the information. | ||
| Drill down on this. | ||
| This is why they've hired Natalie Dominguez, doing a great thing of the education, over at HomeTitleLock.com. | ||

| HomeTitleLock.com slash Bannon. | ||
| Also, you know, as Russ votes now, OMB, Peter Navarro. | ||
| He's got his great team at Peter's Taking, the Joanne Millers, so a lot of the people who used to come in here and talk about manufacturing, Scott Besson, Secretary of Treasury, a lot of people we've had on here, particularly on the economic side, are not as prevalent anymore than they just can't be. | ||
| They're going to come on as government officials now, speaking for the administration. | ||
| But we've got Rickards. | ||
| Go to RickardsWarRoom.com. | ||
| He's got all these newsletters. | ||
| He's got introductory newsletters, but it's geopolitics, capital markets. | ||
| A very, very savvy guy. | ||
| One of the smartest guys around, I think. | ||
| Ties it all together. | ||
| Perfect for the War Room audience. | ||
| RickardsWarRoom.com. | ||
| You get discounts on the newsletters. | ||
| He's also got his books, all of it. | ||
| Very smart guy and puts a lot of information out there. | ||
| So go check it out today. | ||
| I want to give a hat tip to the White House staff. | ||
| You know, the White House staff, relatively young. | ||
| Not a lot of big names on the staff. | ||
| But Susie Walsh, just to go back to that evolution as you watch it unfolding, remember, it was perfectly choreographed. | ||
| It was perfectly choreographed. | ||
| The Vance team is hitting on all cylinders, and the executive producer. | ||
| And they had a great story in the Daily Caller, I Will Get It Up, a Daily Caller about how the staff took, when President Trump made the decision it was going to be too cold, wanted to go inside, and really had a magnificent-looking ceremony. | ||
| As you know, I was not thrilled about it doing, but they pulled it off. | ||
| Beautifully. | ||
| And so many people think afterwards. | ||
| I can tell you from a crew, from Harry and all of us, I mean, Natalie's still down now. | ||
| I think she got that from being at these events, but she's still down hard. | ||
| As are many other people we know, including my kid sister. | ||
| Because it was cold. | ||
| I don't want to give a hat tip to the RAF guys, but it was cold. | ||
| We were there for, I think, seven. | ||
| We were going to be there for nine. | ||
| Finally, we had to change it up just to kind of keep the thing going. | ||
| It was cold. | ||
| It was that wind. | ||
| It was cold. | ||
| But yesterday showed you the evolution. | ||
| Remember when President Trump is in North Carolina perfectly choreographed. | ||
| And then he goes to California perfectly choreographed. | ||
| And Gavin Newsom... | ||
| You know, really, I think, shocking, not at that, what they call roundtables. | ||
| Because what you do is you go to the tarmac, you meet the local officials, you have some, you know, give and take, a photo op. | ||
| President Trump always wants to go talk to the media, which is great. | ||
| He's giving them great content. | ||
| He's taking the tough questions. | ||
| And what's most importantly, and I think this is very important, there were no wise guy questions yesterday. | ||
| Part of that, I think, earlier was Brian Glenn here at Real America's Voice. | ||
| Fantastic job asking serious questions. | ||
| The media asks tough questions. | ||
| Particularly in FEMA. Trump, he'll get right back to you. | ||
| But there were no wise guy questions. | ||
| That's a difference. | ||
| I want the media to ask tough questions. | ||
| Your job is to get to the bottom of it, right? | ||
| Ask tough questions. | ||
| President Trump can handle that. | ||
| Heck, he'd go two hours, three hours on any topic. | ||
| Then after California perfectly choreographed, you've got to remember, at the same time, they're managing the nomination processes. | ||
| They've got things geopolitically happening. | ||
| They've got other legislation. | ||
| They're juggling a hundred balls. | ||
| And to pull that off, and I think you're going to see more of it. | ||
| Obviously, President Trump, I think, until you can see already, wants to get out and get engaged, wants to get out of the imperial capital. | ||
| You know, he's not that into this crowd here. | ||
| Just not. | ||
| Not his thing. | ||
| Not his deal. | ||
| I think he goes to be at Mar-a-Lago. | ||
| And then on Monday, he's going to be at Doral. | ||
| They're going to have the Republican conference. | ||
| And they're coming down to him. | ||
| And he's going to give another major address, I think, after the conference. | ||
| We'll be covering all that live. | ||
| I think his talk, we'll be doing our Monday afternoon show right after. | ||
| But we're going to be all over it. | ||
| All day. | ||
| As we really intensify our coverage of the White House and Capitol Hill. | ||
| As you guys demand. | ||
| And we need to deliver. | ||
| But really, a hat tip to the White House. | ||
| Yesterday was, if you look at, first of all, the scale, depth, and urgency. | ||
| And this comes from years of people working on this. | ||
| It doesn't happen overnight. | ||
| This is, I want to put it, you know, people call Project 2025, but that's only one. | ||
| You had Brooks Rollins, America First Policy Institute, with Stephen Miller, who's Deputy... | ||
| Chief of Staff for Policy. | ||
| We've worked with Miller since he was a young buck over with Michelle Bachman, as was Sergio Gore. | ||
| He's now kind of in charge of personnel. | ||
| And it's great to see these people come up the ramp. | ||
| We've got a bunch from War Room. | ||
| We're going to go over and start their journeys. | ||
| But the White House and Juggling Institute, the Davos, in the beauty of the... | ||
| The, um, stylistically, the, the, the great seal of the United States in the background, a kind of a muted tone. | ||
| So powerful. | ||
| The back of President Trump, as Noor Bin Laden said. | ||
| And he had that, he had that, they had that bizarro, you know, kind of Jetsons look of Davos, which is, has no human feeling at all. | ||
| Very mechanical. | ||
| Very digital. | ||
| And Klaus Schwab, you know, had the Bond villain. | ||
| Groveling. | ||
| Pulled that off perfectly. | ||
| And they made the decision not to go but do that and then go the next day to North Carolina and California and they pulled it off flawlessly. | ||
| That was a great trip and it's setting a tone. | ||
| That's why the opposition here is so worried. | ||
| The confirmations. | ||
| Not only are the cabinet secretaries getting approved and voted on, but it's what they're saying in the process. | ||
| They're laying out America first. | ||
| They're laying out, really, if you see the golden age up there and the sunlit uplands, they're laying out a set of policies that are interlinked and interconnected. | ||
| And that a sophistication and a seriousness that you have not seen in the kind of way this town runs. | ||
| And why did that happen? | ||
| It wasn't in 16 or 17. A lot of great things in 17. The tax cut, the deregulation led to the great year of 2019, which the voters wanted to go back to. | ||
| Before the Chinese bioweapon. | ||
| But here it's of a different order of magnitude. | ||
| This is exactly how you pivot America back and put her on her path to retain her former glory. | ||
| To essentially make America great again. | ||
| This is why it's all coming together. | ||
| Are there going to be failures and mishaps and things that don't go right and all that? | ||
| Of course! | ||
| You've seen that already. | ||
| Particularly as the resistance, they get their seed legs in back of them in the courts and gathering opposition forces. | ||
| That's going to happen. | ||
| That's just process. | ||
| That's the statics and dynamics of critical path. | ||
| It's fine. | ||
| It's not going to be perfect. | ||
| You're going to have bumps in the road. | ||
| You're going to have days that look like they don't work out. | ||
| But in the last two days, it perfectly works out. | ||
| And you can see... | ||
| And you can raise it up and say, I see it. | ||
| I got it. | ||
| And he's in a Zen moment. | ||
| It's so natural. | ||
| It's like when you play sports. | ||
| When you're not thinking about your jump shot or how you throw the ball or your golf swing or your tennis, when you're just in the flow, that's that Zen moment. | ||
| When your conscious mind is out and it's all coming from a deeper place. | ||
| That's Trump. | ||
| That's Trump right now. | ||
| And one of the reasons he can do that, he's got confidence of the people around him. | ||
| It's one of the reasons I've made this big deal about Elon the last couple of days. | ||
| Elon's been given a mandate that no individual in the history of this republic has been given vis-a-vis the federal apparatus. | ||
| Before, from Jefferson all the way, every time they come in, if you read the history of Jackson, they're all saying, this thing's too big. | ||
| We've got to cut some guy. | ||
| Even FDR, which was to power it up, to pull a gain of function and power it up, never really thought through. | ||
| They were slapping things. | ||
| They even admit, you know, the alphabet agencies, they were throwing stuff up the wall to see what stuck. | ||
| And remember, everything they did did not get us out of the Great Depression. | ||
| It was going to full military production, whole-of-society military production that pulled us out of the Great Depression, just like Hitler had done it earlier. | ||
| Whole-of-society rearmament pulled Germany out of that horrific financial collapse they had. | ||
| Because every financial crisis leads to fundamental change. | ||
| Great Depression, you got FDR. The hyperinflation in the Weimar Republic led to Hitler. | ||
| The collapse in 2008 because the established order only took care of themselves and had a set of policies that just concentrated wealth led to Trump and populist nationalism. | ||
| It was always there, but actually brought to the forefront. | ||
| And now expanding. | ||
| Expanding where? | ||
| Let me pick a random thing. | ||
| Oh, Las Vegas, Nevada. | ||
| I always thought, given the composition of union, Composition of demographic in the Harry Reid machine. | ||
| And trust me, as much as this audience could not stand Harry Reid, that brother had a machine. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| Had a machine. | ||
| He could kind of... | ||
| The counts would always come out Harry's way. | ||
| And that's been shattered by Trump. | ||
| Been totally shattered by Trump. | ||
| Where does this leave us? | ||
| A historic first week, but you see the gathering forces around Trump. | ||
| And he's in the moment. | ||
| So in the moment you have to drive, you have to drive, you have to drive, you have to drive. | ||
| All gas, all pedal, no brake. | ||
| All pedal, no brake. | ||
| Drive it, drive it, drive it, drive it. | ||
| The lessons of history of Patton and Jackson, all of it. | ||
| When you've got this kind of momentum, you do not stop. | ||
| You do not think. | ||
|

|
You go, you go, you go, you go. | |
| Every day, more executive orders, more executive actions. | ||
| More troops to the border. | ||
| More in the face of the established order. | ||
| This is why the McConnell thing has to be dealt with. | ||
| Just has to. | ||
| We've looked the other way long enough. | ||
| It must be addressed. | ||
| Short break. | ||

Here's your host, Stephen K. Van. | |
| Attack, attack, attack. | ||
| One of our great members of the engine room would say, attack. | ||
| On offense, on offense, on offense. | ||
| Let the logistics catch up with on offense, on offense, on offense. | ||
| More executive orders, more executive actions. | ||
| Flood the zone. | ||
| They're back on their feet. | ||
| They're discombobulated. | ||
| They don't know where to turn. | ||
| MSN is a disaster. | ||
| The tell was the confirmation hearings. | ||
| They have nothing. | ||
| Marco Rubio is talking about what we're going to do in deconstructing the post-war international rules-based order. | ||
| No response from the Democrats. | ||
| Scott Besson does something very smart. | ||
| The first time, he knows ten times more than those guys on the Senate side. | ||
| The first guy that tries to be a wise guy, Senator Wyden of Oregon, with the tariffs. | ||
| Scott, readjusted glasses, professor very decently, blows him up and looks like a ridiculous, stupid freshman handing him a paper he got an F on. | ||

|
And Biden bleating at them, well, that's not the way I'll say it. | |
| Not one other tough question. | ||
| Shut him up. | ||
| Because you know why? | ||
| They're all about the performance art. | ||
| They're saying, I ain't going to tangle with this guy, no way. | ||
| That's how you have to handle it. | ||
| That's being on offense. | ||
| This is for Elon. | ||
| You have a mandate. | ||
| You have a lane. | ||
| It's a super highway. | ||
| You have the Autobahn. | ||
| And you are needed with all your smarts and all your intelligence and all your brilliant engineering thinking, which you are obviously the Edison of our age. | ||
| There's not going to be any more CRs. | ||
| We have to do it. | ||
| We have to do it now. | ||
| We need... | ||
| The trillion dollars has to be, because everything you see in this budget thing is more happy talk. | ||
| And I've been telling guys even on our side, hey, I'm not going to tolerate it. | ||
| I don't want to hear about conservative wins. | ||
| I said $3 trillion starts in year 5 and 7. It's not relevant. | ||
| There's only two things that are relevant. | ||
| This fiscal year we're in, I want to see what the number is. | ||
| If it's $100 billion, that's fine. | ||
| Just give me the number. | ||
| So then we can argue about the scale of the problem. | ||
| I need the number, and I need it for this year, period zero, and I need next year's. | ||
| After that, nothing matters. | ||
| It's not relevant. | ||
| Oh, but you've got to play it 10 years. | ||
| No, this is the game they play. | ||
| This is McCarthy. | ||
| Remember, McCarthy came back with $4 trillion of cuts. | ||
| All in the out years. | ||
| I need to know what's cutting out. | ||
| That's what doge. | ||
| And I'm disturbed because the New York Times reports they got this thing digital and they're looking for it. | ||
| I don't need the government rewired right now. | ||
| We need it restructured right now. | ||
| We can rewire later. | ||
| Yes, that's probably important to get advanced technologies, but we need to see at least what you've got to give us the opening bid because this town is just not going to sit there and go, this is wonderful, a trillion dollars out. | ||
| You understand the firestorm that's going to cause? | ||
| And we need that. | ||
| You need to draw the fire. | ||
| We need to see where the different camps are. | ||
| We need to see what the structure of their argument is. | ||
| Because now we have to have a national debate about this topic. | ||
| This topic. | ||
| What's the size of it? | ||
| What's the scale of it? | ||
| How do we afford it? | ||
| Who benefits? | ||
| We have to be adults in this. | ||
| We're going to drive it. | ||
| You're the adults in the room. | ||
| Trump put you in the room. | ||
| And he put you at the head of the table. | ||
| Of the creditors committee. | ||
| And that's what we're talking about now. | ||
| It's a creditors committee. | ||
| This is a restructuring. | ||
| He's got a new economic model that makes the external revenue service and to get through the golden door, you've got to pay a toll. | ||
| He ain't putting a 25% tariff on a tomato coming from Mexico. | ||
| It's a rethinking. | ||
| It's rethinking. | ||
| A total reset. | ||
| But we have to get real right now. | ||
| We need the doge. | ||
| We've got to have the report. | ||
| If there's nothing, just let us know. | ||
| I can't. | ||
| It's next year. | ||
| That's fine. | ||
| But we need to know now. | ||
| The trillion dollars. | ||
| Because then that's going to explode. | ||
| And there's going to be, oh, Elon's terrible. | ||
| And Susie Wiles is awful. | ||
| And Trump's a maniac. | ||
| And they're cutting in. | ||
| And babies are going to be, you know, throwing babies back over the wall. | ||
| And they've got babies starving here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Fine. | |
| We've got to have that. | ||
| You know it's coming. | ||
| There's no unity with these people. | ||
| Let's get it on the table. | ||
| But we're winning the politics. | ||
| Seagal Chata, one of the stalwarts in the Trump, Las Vegas. | ||
| Why is Trump here today? | ||
| Why is it so important for him to plant the flag in Nevada with exactly what he's going to do? | ||
| Talk about no tax on tips and talk to the Culinary Union and pull together the middle class out there, this burgeoning middle class, the Hispanic demographic with the Culinary Union. | ||
| Why is it important, Seagal? | ||
| Well, because No Tax on Tips was born here. | ||
| It was back in, I believe it was 2017, he was having lunch with the chairman. | ||
| And look, Tips is huge in Vegas. | ||
| We are a service industry city. | ||
| We are a culinary union city. | ||
| And the fact that the No Tax on Tips was born here over lunch, believe it or not, at the Trump Hotel with our chairman. | ||
| I think it was really the movement that started. | ||
| And now you've got, unfortunately, our copycat senators that are claiming we're gonna introduce legislation to ensure that our union members are not going to pay taxes on their tips. | ||
| But we know who was the real OG on this. | ||
| We know that this was Trump birthed this movement, really, the no tax on tips. | ||
| He announced it here in Vegas. | ||
| Is the Culinary Union, now the whole strip is unionized, is the Culinary Union, are the workers, I know leadership's not, but are the workers with us? | ||
| Some of the workers are with us, because we couldn't have won Nevada without some of those workers. | ||
| The Culinary Union has always been, you know, you talked about the Harry Reid machine, Harry Reid owned the Culinary Union, and we saw a bit of that break off, and that's how we got... | ||
| Nevada to go with Trump. | ||
| I mean, look, the message is clear. | ||
| Again, tips in Las Vegas are probably the most important thing that have been on the table for decades, for absolute decades. | ||
| We've had litigation in our state over pooling tips. | ||
| What do the pit bosses do? | ||
| What do the dealers do? | ||
| Remember, every time you play a blackjack game, that dealer also gets tips. | ||
| So it's not just the typical Waitresses, busboys. | ||
| I mean, this city is run on tipping. | ||
| And when you say there will be no taxes on tips, you are addressing not only waitresses, not only bar backs, bartenders. | ||
| You are also addressing the actual dealers in Las Vegas. | ||
| You're addressing the pit bosses in Las Vegas. | ||
| You're addressing everybody. | ||
| So think about it. | ||
| The city is run on tips. | ||
| We won Nevada because that message resonated with our culinary union members. | ||
| The governor is going to be there today. | ||
| And is he taking over the read machine? | ||
| And is he, let's be blunt about it, is he with Trump? | ||
| Is he with MAGA? Well, the governor is, I would say, MAGA. Ultralight at best. | ||
| He is not mega mega. | ||
| I mean, we've had some issues with our governor before, with criticisms of Trump's policies. | ||
| When he was sheriff, there were issues with- Working with ICE. And we do have issues with our current sheriff. | ||
| It's not a secret. | ||
| It's been all over the news that our sheriff has said he was not going to do ICE's job here in Nevada. | ||
| But essentially, he's coming around. | ||
| I think that he knows that he has to come around. | ||
| He's up for reelection in 2026. And that's the reality of it. | ||
| I mean, look, Nevada has gone to Trump and that is, there is no irreconcilable difference right here that you could actually pretend that Nevada is not MAGA. We broke the Harry Reid machine. | ||
| We made sure that the Harry Reid machine is gone, took out the batteries. | ||
| We're gonna power it up for 2026. We're gonna take back our legislature and that's it. | ||
| And it's game over. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Amazing. | ||
| Seagal, where do they get you? | ||
| This woman is a 24-hour-a-day, 7-day-a-week warrior. | ||
| Fierce warrior. | ||
| Where do they go get you, ma'am? | ||
| They can find me on Twitter, Getter, and on Facebook everywhere. | ||
| Chatterford, Nevada. | ||
| Maybe I'll pop up down at the Circa. | ||
| That's where we're heading in about an hour to go see Trump in person to thank Nevadans and all our culinary workers and our circus industry for flipping Nevada red after 20 years. | ||
| What a team. | ||
| You had Mike McDonald, the chairman. | ||
| You had Seagal Chata, and you had Cash Patel. | ||
| Cash Patel, I remember that guy. | ||
| I think it's a confirmation hearing on Thursday. | ||
| Want the TV rights for that, baby? | ||
| Seagal, thank you so much, ma'am. | ||
| You're a warrior. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| Have a wonderful Saturday. | ||
| The warrior princess, Seagal Chata. | ||
| Tej! | ||
| Talk about not a warrior princess. | ||
| The pretty face of Tej Gill. | ||
| How you doing, brother? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Good. | |
| How you doing, Steve? | ||
| I'm doing good. | ||
| You're on a Saturday show. | ||
| We can talk coffee. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| Because I've been powering down. | ||
| I'm taking your coffee on the road everywhere now so I can power down and make my own. | ||
| It's just amazing. | ||
| Walk me through. | ||
| The Dark Roast, the Mariners Blend, my baby, I pitched that enough on here because I'm so addicted to it. | ||
| Talk about what else you guys have because if you read the reviews, people are trying different blends and different flavors and they're loving it. | ||
| Yeah, we've got over 6,000 five-star reviews now. | ||
| Mariner's blend, you know, that's a favorite. | ||
| Everybody wants a dark roast, so that thing just flies off the shelf. | ||
| We've got an espresso now. | ||
| We've got vanilla hazelnut. | ||
| We've got a chocolate. | ||
| We've got the breakfast blend. | ||
| The breakfast blend is going to be like your donut shop coffee. | ||
| It's really, really smooth. | ||
| And then we've got the summer blend, and that one has Jamaica Blue Mountain beans in it. | ||
| And they're all blends. | ||
| And then we are... | ||
| Very close to releasing a decaf coffee. | ||
| We've got the labels done that should be out in the next two weeks. | ||
| Hopefully this week if possible. | ||
| And then the Frogman espresso. | ||
| That's an amazing espresso. | ||
| It's a smoother espresso. | ||
| It doesn't have the acidity or bitterness to it. | ||
| And you can get it at warpath.coffee. | ||
| And use promo code WARROOM. Promo code WARROOM is just for the War Room Posse. | ||
| You get 20% off your entire order. | ||
| And if you order over $65, you get free shipping. | ||
| So you got to try it. | ||
| It's the best coffee out there. | ||
| People absolutely love it. | ||
| We actually kind of converted non-coffee drinkers to coffee drinkers by getting them to try our coffee. | ||
| People love it. | ||
| One thing, you've taken so well, this is the espresso and the dark roast. | ||
| For, I think, 18 months, two years, Tasia and I worked on the dark roast. | ||
| But people don't understand, actually getting decaf is actually the most complicated to actually do and keep the flavor? | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| It's done with a chemical process to pull the caffeine out of the beans. | ||
| It's a little bit more expensive. | ||
| It's Swiss water decaf, but that'll be really expensive. | ||
| So we're going to stick with a regular decaf now. | ||
| And then the decaf we're going to release, it's Colombian decaf. | ||
| It's really good. | ||
| Also, you have the Keurig-like type. | ||
| You've got the pods. | ||
| You've got all of it. | ||
| What about the breath of how people actually make the coffee? | ||
| I like pouring it in and just pouring my water and letting it rip, but you've got all types of different ways to do it now, right? | ||
| Yeah, yep. | ||
| Yeah, we have the Keurig K-cup pods. | ||
| Those are really popular, you know, because it's all about convenience for those. | ||
| Myself, I do French press. | ||
| I ground the coffee myself, very coarse, and then I put it in the press, hot water, and press it, and I think that's the best way to do it. | ||
| You can do a pour-over. | ||
| That's pretty good. | ||
| Then the good old machine coffee, that's the easiest way to do it. | ||
| But the French press. | ||
| That's how you're going to get the best taste out of the coffee, and you do it with a coarse grind. | ||
| And then, of course, the espresso, it's almost like a powdery grind, and it hits you hard. | ||
| It's really strong, the espresso. | ||
| But it doesn't matter. | ||
| We've got it all. | ||
| However you want to do it. | ||

Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann. | |
| I'll have polled, look at the lead story in Politico. | ||
| Trump is everywhere again. | ||
| Unlike Biden, who hid. | ||
| They obviously stole the 2020 election. | ||
| I mean, it's just, it's sick. | ||
| We've got to get to the bottom of that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We need to get to the bottom of it, and we will get to the bottom of it. | |
| We will get to the bottom of that. | ||
| Trump is everywhere again. | ||
| He's everywhere. | ||
| And the actions coming out, this is four years, and it's converging. | ||
| It's converging on a point and drive it, drive it, drive it, drive it, drive it. | ||
| It's going to get more intense. | ||
| And this is now we're going to get into some of the harder part. | ||
| Because it's like, how are we going to pay for this? | ||
| What are we really doing here? | ||
| What is the actual economic model of the country? | ||
| Not that the government sets the economic model, but you kind of set the framing in an advanced capitalist country, because we haven't been running like a capitalist country. | ||
| We've been running more like the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| State capitalism with ultimate government power, that's going to be shattered. | ||
| That's part of the deconstruction of the administrative state. | ||
| But you still get down to the fact... | ||
| And the bond market is close to revolt. | ||
| I'll spend more time on a Monday, and we'll talk about it. | ||
| So, I've always said that central crisis, you know, the stopping the kinetic part of the Third World War, and we'd love to see, and I think we're right on this, the Ukraine thing. | ||
| He eventually cut money off. | ||
| Money got cut off from Ukraine last night. | ||
| Secretary of State Rubio. | ||
| Only Israel and Egypt are still getting money from the state part. | ||
| Everybody else cut off. | ||
| But you've got to get a ceasefire and then get the hell out of there. | ||
| And get focused on what you want to focus on. | ||
| Greenland, Panama Canal, and sorting it out, pivoting out of the Middle East. | ||
| And President Trump's clearly trying to have some rapprochement with the Chinese Communist Party, with Xi. | ||
| Doesn't want a shooting war around Taiwan, 68 miles off the coast of China. | ||
| Just doesn't want to do it. | ||
| Pretty obvious. | ||
| Wants to build a relationship. | ||
| He said again yesterday, respect Xi. | ||
| But the hardest part is the whole financing of this, how it's going to do, and how to make sure that inflation is not embedded in this. | ||
| Because now, with the refinancing of it, when you've got $36, $37 trillion of debt, and you've got to refinance up to a third of it, right now I think Scott's scheduled, I think it's $7 trillion of treasury auction coming. | ||
| And I realize the world needs dollars, but eventually they need dollars at what price. | ||
| This is why it's so critical on the bond market. | ||
| More on that on Monday. | ||
| But right now, the scale of what President Trump has come with in every aspect, the depth of it, how deep and meaningful and interconnectivity of it, and the urgency of it, the urgency. | ||
| What did Churchill write on top of that memo, on top of the memos? | ||
| Action this day. | ||
| Action this day. | ||
| They sent him memos. | ||
| Action this day. | ||
| That's why Grinnell was there yesterday. | ||
| Action this day. | ||
| Action this day. | ||
| And he wanted to report. | ||
| And if it wasn't done, he wanted to know why. | ||
| This is how they turned themselves around in World War II. And eventually were among the victors. | ||
| Action this day. | ||
| Carpe diem. | ||
| Seize the day. | ||
| Trump has by the throat. | ||
| Mike Lindell, you join us late on a Saturday morning about noon. | ||
