Speaker Time Text
unidentified
Significantly loyal are being fired or forced to resign.
Whole agencies are being eliminated and funding impounded in flagrant defiance of the Constitution, which only gives the Congress, us here in this body, the power of the purse.
And unvetted, unqualified individuals illegally burrowing into classified and sensitive information.
This very action jeopardizing our national security and violating Americans' privacy.
These dogebros seem to have no restriction on them at all, and I've seen no evidence that Ms. Gabbard is prepared to deal with this onslaught.
Therefore, I must oppose her nomination and urge my colleagues to do the same.
steve bannon
Okay, Senator Mark Warner there.
This is the vote on Tulsi Gabbard.
You're having some last-minute talk.
And, of course, Thune was positive.
Warner was negative.
We're going to have this vote.
Tulsi Gabbard is going to get confirmed because I think they've counted the notices pretty well.
Let's go ahead and play.
I've got Alex de Grasse.
I want to play a cold open and bring in another reality check on the war against President Trump on multiple fronts.
We're in posse.
Let's go ahead and hit it.
Okay.
See this headline right here?
unidentified
Trump causes constitutional crisis.
steve bannon
Trump causes constitutional crisis.
Showdown emerged of the limits of his power.
Let me be blunt.
This is a lesson here.
The existential threat to President Trump's administration is not in federal court.
What President Trump is doing is constitutional.
The appellate courts will say that.
The Supreme Court will say that.
The existential threat to President Trump's administration, and I mean Doge, Elon Musk, Secretary of Treasury Besant, Russ Vogt, Stephen Miller, all of his people, the existential threat is right here in this city.
It is the queen of lawfare.
It's Letitia James.
Right now, Soros has a DA that's running unopposed.
He can call a grand jury at any time.
He can set up criminal charges on the most bogus efforts.
Letitia James runs this deal.
She's got a pliant media right here, pliant left-wing media.
She's got a jury pool of only left-wing radicals in the Upper West Side of this city.
And she's got the judges.
She's got all of it.
Hang on, I'm calling on right now the Attorney General Pam Bonney to begin an immediate...
Criminal investigation to Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, all of what they did to President Trump.
President Trump, on his true social day, laid it out once again.
The existential threat to his administration is this queen of lawfare, Letitia James, and how she has absolutely total control.
And Doge and Elon Musk and Scott Besson and all of them ought to be worried about this out-of-control city.
unidentified
city.
steve bannon
Thank you very much.
unidentified
Because so much of this is now being exposed.
And this is what is been so crucial to carrying out an agenda that has nothing to do with the American people or what they vote for, which is this huge part of the government that just does what it wants without accountability.
So having said that, I do think that in terms of the savings part of it, Steve Bannon makes a very good point.
And it's what Jon Stewart alluded to in that clip you just showed.
Steve Bannon says, unless you cross the Potomac and go to the Pentagon.
Where we spend about a trillion dollars a year and completely unaccounted for money.
You're never going to really save the kind of money that would make a dent in the American debt or the American deficit.
But this is the framework that we're starting with that will show how that can be done.
steve bannon
That was Glenn Greenwald last night on Jesse, I think making the point that has to be made over and over again.
If you want to get serious about this, and we have to get serious about it, or soon we're going to be forced into a situation that we don't have choices.
What I'm laying out is we still have no great alternatives, but you have alternatives.
You're going to get to a place you don't have alternatives.
You're going to be forced by the global capital markets, by the bond market, like Japan.
Japan's had what they've called the lost now generations since 1992, I believe it is.
Around 1990, I guess.
1990. So it's almost, what, 30 years?
Over 35 years?
They've had the lost generations because they had the asset, they blew up the assets right on speculative investing, and then they had a crash, and they've had deflation for 30 years.
So you have inflation, deflation, but you've got to get it right.
DeGrasse, particularly in New York, you know New York better than anybody.
I want you to get, because folks, don't think these people are just sitting there being passive.
They've got focus groups, they're doing polling, they've got unlimited money.
And these people are sitting around going, everything's great, and sending out cute little memes.
That's all fun.
That's great.
Some people do that.
It's fine.
But we're in the middle of a war.
And, you know, President Trump's dropping days of thunder every day.
But you see, when he drops an executive order, he does an executive action, immediately they're in the court.
And my big fear is that, and Natalie did a good job, I think we're going to win on the facts in these federal courts, but they're going to tie us up.
We're going to win on the facts and the presentation of the case in the House and get this thing sorted on the financial side.
But it's the state courts.
New York City, we've allowed the financial capital of the world to basically be taken hostage by source.
Think about it for a second.
The most radical element in our elite control the engine room of the world's financial markets.
That's just reality.
Every transaction passes through there.
And they will claim jurisdiction.
Tish James and Bragg can go bring a panel grand jury in Manhattan with these horrible juries and get on with it.
DeGrasse, you guys have fought this and you've actually put up the warning flare in this thing for years coming on this show.
But right now, in the middle of this fight, tell me, how important is this?
You've been warned about this.
Stefanik's been warned about this.
Other people in the Republican Party in New York to say, look, it's just not about congressional seats.
It's not about that.
The congressional delegation are not winning the governorship.
You've got a DEFCON 1 problem in Manhattan, in New York City.
It's controlled by the most radical elements.
Let me repeat that Alvin Bragg is not even – there's nobody running against him next spring.
And he's going to win.
You're going to have Alvin Bragg for another four years.
Alex DeGrasse.
alex degrasse
We have candidates, and we're going to actually put up the best fight.
It's something I'm committed to at least getting a contrast and getting the word out there for folks.
It's going to be incredibly challenging in Manhattan, which is certainly the heart of the beast within the beast.
If you look at these people, you look at Tish.
I mean, she, even more so than Bragg, but both of them.
I mean, these are, she's from the Soros machine, I think, at one point.
I'd come up through New York City, come up through, you know, he's their biggest donor.
And she just kind of got lifted through.
Cuomo essentially kind of made a deal with her to kind of protect his flank and lift her up.
And she sort of stabbed him in the back, if we remember, with the whole the women issues and all of that.
And so it's kind of interesting because these are ruthless, vicious people.
It's even more complicated than I think the media or anyone will acknowledge.
We've been in the mix of it.
I mean, I can't wait to get the call from President Trump's DOJ to look at all the stuff that we've acquired as we've laid out complaints, some of which we've publicized, some of which is not publicized, sort of the back and forth with the judicial complaint.
These people are corrupt to their core.
We laid out multiple arguments.
And the problem is there's a paper trail, Steve.
So they're going to be with deep issues, to be frank about it.
Because they don't operate with equal justice under the law.
It's so blatant.
I mean, Mike Davis was our lawyer.
Newsflash for folks.
You can see that in the filings.
And he's been all over.
So, you know, we are going to hammer this.
And you're exactly right.
I mean, this is, if not the biggest issue, because.
Constitutional crisis is their word.
For weeks, you kind of saw them.
They were kind of floundering, and they've landed on that.
It's been focus tested.
They've looked at it.
They think that they will move numbers in their favor.
So I think the posse, we should own the word, like you said.
We are in a constitutional crisis.
You not only have state courts, you've got the weaponization in New York, but everything that Natalie so laid out.
It is a constitutional crisis that both state courts, state attorney generals, and federal courts believe that they can What do you mean?
steve bannon
Hang on.
What do you mean?
Be specific.
What do you mean constitutional crisis?
This is being bandied about, but when DeGrasse says it means something, what do you mean constitutional crisis?
What is the crisis?
alex degrasse
I believe the crisis is that you've got unelected judges and, you know, a form of the government, right, so the judicial, which is essentially blocking the will of the voters in this, at least for now, free republic, Steve.
That is a constitutional crisis, that judges believe that they can end funding freezes, that they can stop cuts, that they can stop not just doge from going into the treasury, but all political appointees.
I mean, political appointees, Steve, are who we voted for.
That is the will of the people.
It's bigger than President Trump.
They are suppressing the will of the American people that just had an election, and not just had an election, Steve, but a landslide.
Public opinion shows that President Trump is positive for the first time in his presidency, including on the first term, and that voters, according to the CBS poll, 70% believe that President Trump is executing on his will.
And so I think that we have to lean in and message that.
We are in a constitutional crisis.
Judges, state courts, the deep state on the left in New York, as well as all of these—I mean, these are psychopath judges that—I mean, by the way, I mean, Davis has spoke about it.
Elon has spoke about it.
The executive has the power to go after these judges, to be honest.
It's actually not unprecedented.
There's been a lot of historical cases of that.
And I don't think the American people would agree that we can't dismantle USAID, that we can't...
I mean, President Trump ran on these issues.
This isn't tyranny.
This is how it works in a Democratic...
steve bannon
Is the issue, because judges are appointed, federal judges are appointed lifetime appointments, they're not obviously...
But they are quasi because the political party that's in power puts them in.
But is the crisis the definition of executive power?
That this unified theory of President Trump saying, hey, I'm the chief executive, and is this about empowerment?
Because he's saying, hey, whatever the appropriation is, that's the ceiling.
I can reprogram underneath it.
Is this what the crisis is?
The ability of the executive to make executive decisions and the legislature using the courts or the radical Democrats using the courts to thwart that?
alex degrasse
Yeah, I would agree.
I think that's where we're heading.
And I think that's the scope of it.
But I think it's even bigger than that, because some of this stuff, I'll be honest, as someone that's worked on the Hill, I mean, Congress hasn't voted for some of this stuff.
And you saw with Biden, they had grave discretion, just a little thing.
But Lee Zeldin posted from EPA a video that Project Veritas found of someone being like, we're handing billions of gold bars over the Titanic.
We're dumbing them.
That was – they were caught on video that before President Trump gets in, we're just throwing out billions.
I mean they don't have approval on that stuff.
They operate within Biden's Inflation Act and all of that garbage.
President Trump barely clearly has, I believe, broad executive order, certainly when it comes to arguing birthright citizenship.
Of course, that's going to be tested.
I think we feel great about that.
But whether it be on NIH grants, all of that is the discretion of the executive on, I mean, they're upset that we're putting a 15% cap on administrative on research.
These aren't, I mean, this stuff is crazy.
All of that is clearly the executive has the decision to put in guardrails or metrics on how they're going to give out taxpayer money, not their money.
So that's why this I think is heating up very quickly.
We have to own the constitutional crisis and go on offense because I believe voters and the people are with us.
They elected President Trump.
We want to see cuts.
We want to see all the things that President Trump has put in.
steve bannon
Hang on.
I'm going to hold you through the break.
I want to know about going on offense, because you know all the polling they're doing.
They're doing focus groups, and they're starting to come on.
In 14 March, they're setting a trap for President Trump to force the shutdown of President Trump's own government.
Okay?
We're going to take a short break.
Birch Gold, we got Powell is testifying now on inflation.
Inflation is tied.
This is how we got it the first time, with Biden.
Massive federal spending.
It's a Keynesian, you know, juice to the system when the system doesn't need juicing.
This is what we're doing right now.
When you have six and a half trillion of spending and four and a half trillion coming in, that two trillion dollars is a Keynesian shot right in the arm when maybe you don't need it.

Do that.
Okay, Alex de Grasse is up.
Modi's en route.
I got Shali Kumar talking about the visit of Modi, who, you know, is our favorite nationalist.
Alex Brusilwitz, the genius in back of the podcast strategy and the social media strategy of President Trump, is going to join us.
We've got a lot rocking and rolling, and we're going to be going in and out of these live hearings.
Testimony.
Vote.
Tulsi Gabbard's up.
What a morning.
On fire.
At work.
in the war room.
unidentified
Your host, Stephen K. Band.
steve bannon
Okay, Todd Benzman is reporting, and if Grace Amo can get this, put it in the chat room, put a tweet.
There's been a American spy plane, now another one identified over Mexican cartel territory.
Todd's going to join us at 6 tonight to talk about the, I would say, impending kinetic part of the war against the Mexican cartels.
Now they've been designated as terrorist organizations.
I'm going to get Todd on.
Maybe earlier...
If Pam Bondi, which we'll pick up probably at the beginning, she's supposed to start at 4.30, we'll pick up at 5, her press availability, her press conference.
If she's dealing with a lot of this, I'm going to get Todd and others, Mike Davis, Todd, to be able to comment and do the analysis on Pam Bondi, because there's a lot going on over at DOJ, as you can imagine.
I want to get back to Alex Agras in a moment, because I want to spend some time, and I've got Bruce Wich coming up, too.
Charlie Kumar's taking some time to join us.
Shali, and Shali is close to the Modi guys.
As you know, we're huge fans of Modi.
He's the best nationalist out there.
Shali, we've had, I don't want to say a bad run, but President Trump has very specific things he wants to do in the Middle East.
And yesterday's meeting with the King of Jordan, I don't think went swimmingly, to be brutally frank about it.
His proposal in Gaza...
Has had CeCe, who they need the United States, he's actually canceled, I think, canceled the meeting to come see the bilat, to come see President Trump next week, which is unheard of.
We have three big things going on.
We have, obviously, Ukraine.
Hegseth and Besson are over there with J.D. Vance, the Vice President of the United States, to start the work on negotiating that.
You got Middle East.
President Trump's given a high noon on Saturday, Jerusalem time, to say...
I want them all dead or alive.
I want all the hostages.
I want the bodies.
I want designation.
They are not alive.
And President Trump says, I don't think any of them are alive now.
Or I want them alive.
Or we're going to go back up.
The balloon's going to go up.
And we're getting back into it in Gaza.
The third leg of the stool and the one that we obviously think is the most important is against the Chinese Communist Party.
Modi's absolutely central to that.
Also to the trade deals is so much complexity given our relationship with India, which is the linchpin.
Of the Indo-Pacific strategy, sir.
Shali, you know the players.
Tell me, what do you think is going to happen?
Make us smart about what's going to happen tomorrow when Modi actually sits with President Trump.
unidentified
Well, it all depends on how the two parties approach each other.
We know what President Trump, what we want.
We know what India wants.
And so we'll have to just see President Trump.
We want India to decrease the tariffs on what we ship to them.
And we want to get them away from Russia in terms of military hardware, advanced weapons systems.
We want to sell them F-35, F-15.
But the last four years, under Biden, it has not been good.
India has been waiting now for two years for GE aircraft engines for its Teja fighter program.
So there's going to be some tough negotiations which are going to happen.
But at the same time, we need to recognize that We, America, needs India as partners to confront the elephant in the room that is China or the dragon in the room, which is China.
You know, China has taken away close to 20 million jobs, 5 million in manufacturing itself from us just in like a seven, eight-year period.
President Clinton allowed them to become a member of WTO, and they got the PNTR status.
You know, I'm from Elgro Village, Chicago, Schomburg area, where we used to have almost 5,000 small businesses, small factories in Elgro County.
There are none today.
But they need to work together.
The number one element in here is really China for the Indo-Pacific.
And President Trump, unlike the first term, has to have sustained tariffs.
If we have sustained tariffs on Chinese imports, that can go a long way in solving U.S.-India relations as well, because then we Have the capacity, let's say right now we are importing close to $400 billion a year of manufactured goods from China.
Half of it, or two-thirds of it, could come back to the United States if it's done properly.
And some of it, which is for low-cost labor...
steve bannon
Okay, hold it, hold it.
Charlie, full stop.
How do you get to the 20 million jobs lost and the 5 million manufacturing jobs and then cut right to a $400 billion annually that we're importing from China in manufacturing?
You said two-thirds could be over here.
That's mother's milk to the show.
So walk me through how we lost those jobs, what specifically did it, and then how do we get two-thirds of $400 billion back, which I don't know.
Sounds like $275 billion of manufacturing here.
How does that happen?
unidentified
Well, first of all, you know, there's a pretty simple formula, which is $10 billion is 100,000 manufacturing jobs.
And for each manufacturing job, there is three support jobs.
So 20 million jobs, that's for $500 billion of goods we import from China.
That translates to five million jobs that started in 1998. And by the time 2005-2006 came around, those jobs were already lost.
You know, you were there in 2019 at the Ronald Reagan Center in Chicago with us.
You know, you interfaced with 20...
Indian-American businessmen and how the industry of $50 billion was reduced to $50 million, from $50 billion to $50 million in this just short period.
And China had such a great strategy, and good for them, bad for us, that they bought the capital equipment because all these companies went bankrupt and they bought The capital equipment for tenth of a penny on the dollar.
So China strategizes, has a long-term thinking.
They plan it out.
They attack industry by industry.
I'm in the electronics business.
steve bannon
Hang on.
Tell me, in the room, what does President Trump and Modi got to talk about to get two-thirds of that manufacturing back here in the United States to make?
I want to see 5,000 small little factories in that part of Illinois, south of Chicago, that you so graciously had us there to talk to the Hindu American Republican Association.
What deal has to be made?
What do Modi and President Trump need to come out with that we can start getting two-thirds of that manufacturing back here to the United States, sir?
unidentified
Okay, I'm glad you asked that question because I've been...
Trying through the back channel, talking to both on the Trump side as well as the Modi side.
It's interesting, the key part of this thing is, for this thing to happen, to have sustained tariffs.
It's not like one day...
There will be tariffs when the second day will not be tariffs.
So to get the 5,000 jobs in the Elk Grove County, you know, the businessmen have to be sure that there's going to be tariffs, 25% to 50% tariffs on Chinese goods that are imported.
And so if you have sustained tariffs, that allows the businessmen to put the capital in and make the planning to Get the jobs to start the factories.
You know, all these are small businesses.
Forget about the iPhones and forget about the Elon Musk Teslas.
Where this manufacturing, these 5,000 jobs, there used to be a factory on every block, eight factories on every block in Elgro in the 80s.
So in order for that to happen, you know, I mean, China is a currency manipulator.
I mean, a lot of things can happen, could happen legislatively, could happen through executive order.
But first order is sustained tariffs on Chinese goods.
Now, of course, you could get half or two-thirds of it back in the United States very selectively.
And what it cannot, it needs to get transferred with the tariffs in place.
It could transfer to India.
You know, that's the overall deal.
Then, let's say India gets $100 to $200 billion of that $500 billion, or one-third of that, or half of that.
That is a big, huge gift to India.
And then India can surpass China in terms of growth.
Its growth rate is already higher.
India economy could be number two instead of Chinese economy being number two.
steve bannon
Shali, what's your social media?
We've got to bounce.
We'll have you back on.
We're going to have a lot of coverage of Modi.
It's very important.
Central, not just national security, but economic security.
Where do people get you, Shali?
unidentified
I am Shalup Kumar.
That's my ex on Twitter.
Perfect.
steve bannon
Sholly, thank you so much for being on here.
Look forward to having you back.
Modi's here tomorrow.
We'll be doing wall-to-wall coverage on a very important strategic bilat as our partner in the Indo-Pacific region joins President Trump of the White House.
Okay, I got Alex Brusowicz.
I have Alex deGrasse.
The fight against President Trump's days of thunder.
The stakes get higher.
It gets gnarlier.
We'll unpack it all for you.
The media strategy, the legal strategy, and as DeGrasse says, the political strategy.
Birchgold.com.
Text right now, Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, 989898. There's a brochure, Investing in Gold in the Age of Trump.
I think gold's around 29, 22 today.
But find out why it's $29.92.
It's not the price.
It's the reason for the price.
Check it out.
Short break.
unidentified
Okay.
steve bannon
Alex Brusiewicz joins us.
One of the leaders.
Dude, you came up with a strategy.
Everybody was laughing at the time.
Alex was one of President Trump's top advisors in all things media.
He said, hey, look, the mainstream media is dead.
Let's stick a fork in it.
Let's go to podcasts.
Let's go to streaming services.
Let's go to alternative media.
And alternative media won the day for President Trump.
You guys delivered.
There were times, Alex, that people were questioning that strategy.
There were a couple of dark nights of the soul, but it turned out to be a home run.
Tell us about it.
unidentified
Yeah, we had tremendous success.
I think the success happened, though, because we had the greatest political candidate in modern history and maybe at all time.
President Trump excelled in these formats, talking to the biggest stars in today's age with guys like Andrew Scholz or Theo Vaughn or Joe Rogan.
Tens of millions of views on these interviews that nobody could keep up with.
Kamala Harris would have to spend- You know, hundreds of millions of dollars to get this type of reach that we got organically just because the president is the coolest guy in America and can organically.
And authentically connect with these people.
And so we had tremendous success with that.
To your point, we did have some naysayers.
I think Paul Jago at the Wall Street Journal is one of the lowest IQ individuals in all the media.
And he totally didn't get it.
But, you know, now he's trying to...
Hold on.
steve bannon
I want the audience to know.
I want the Wall Street Journal guys to watch the show to know.
I did not do this segment.
I did not set him up to do that.
That's fair.
Although we may retain you now after that because we agree 100%.
He's wrong on every topic and wrong on every side of the trade.
What did he say about you when he said that?
The Wall Street Journal came after you?
unidentified
Well, the day before the election, Paul Jago has a podcast.
You probably don't know about it because it doesn't get much ratings.
The day before the election, he had a podcast, and he said that Donald Trump will lose for two reasons.
One, selecting J.D. Vance over Nikki Haley, and two, for allowing 27-year-old Alex Bruzowitz to have too much influence over the podcast selections, and said that our bro podcast strategy would alienate minority voters as well as women voters.
Couldn't have been more wrong.
We did better than ever before with minority voters.
We did seven points better with women than we did in 2020. And so Paul just is totally clueless, and now he's crying again about the tariffs, and he was wrong on the tariffs again.
So I don't know how this guy stays in business, but I guess Wall Street Journal doesn't like hiring bright people to run their editorial section.
steve bannon
They're always consistently wrong.
When they say something, do the opposite.
Degrass is on here.
He says, hey, look, we're kidding ourselves.
We don't think that these guys are focus grouping.
They're polling.
They're looking for points of contact to politically come back.
They're using the courts, state courts, federal courts.
Media is now getting back and dusting themselves off.
Where do you think we are, Alex?
You're a strategist in this, and particularly you know how to build a narrative.
Where are we in this kind of the siege of President Trump around his days of thunder?
unidentified
Yeah, the Democrats are certainly swarming, but I think they're having a hard time landing a hit.
They're not able to break through the ecosystem anymore.
I mean, fortunately, voices like yours, Steve, are significantly more impactful than Rachel Maddow, and you have significantly better viewership and represent the American electorate more.
And so the Democrats are having a hard time getting a hit.
I think their biggest struggle right now is that they have no effective messengers.
They have no political talent.
I think they have never been weaker.
Their starting lineup is atrocious, and they have no bench.
And so we're watching this, basically, this seat team of the Democrats trying to compete against this juggernaut of this administration.
And I think they're having a hard time.
But obviously, the hits are coming.
But this team seems to be prepared.
The press secretary, Caroline Levitt, is absolutely crushing it.
I love what she's doing with welcoming.
Bring new voices and new outlets into the press briefing room.
The new media seat was fantastic.
And Natalie Winters from your team's obviously been getting a lot of attention.
The press is weaker than ever.
The Democrats are dumber than ever.
And I think that we just have to keep pushing forward, and we're going to survive this swarm.
But we have to be prepared.
Obviously, the courts and what they did with the courts.
And the weaponization of the justice system during the campaign.
I know that they desperately want to try to get back into some position of power during the midterms.
So we have to stay vigilant and we have to make sure that we have great candidates running in the midterms.
But I think right now we're winning.
We're going to stay winning as long as we stay on offense.
And I think that's what this team is prepared to do.
steve bannon
Alex, where do people get you?
You've got a new gig with President Trump.
You've got your own firm.
I know you're a beast on social media.
Where do folks track you down?
unidentified
Yeah, you can follow me at Alex Bruzowitz on all social media platforms, and we're going to have some fun.
We're going to play an offensive role over the next couple of years, and we're going to fight back just like you are against the mainstream media's lies and the Democrats' dishonesty, and we're going to stay winning.
steve bannon
Alex, the only way you know is to fight.
I got that part.
Never surrender.
I think that may be something close to your heart, right?
Yes, sir.
I know you're a fighter.
unidentified
Thank you, Steve.
steve bannon
Thank you, sir.
It's a young man that they came after hard.
DeGrasse, is he right?
Do you think right now, the way you see it, you're of that generation, you guys are close, is the Caroline Levitts, the Brucewitzes, the DeGrasse's?
You guys are on the rampart now.
Are we smartly thinking this through how to continue and go back on offense on this?
I think the last couple days, President Trump's been dropping days of thunder, but we took some incoming, particularly in these judges.
What do we need to do to turn this around?
You freeze?
That's okay.
alex degrasse
I think Bruce Schwitz is one of the greatest minds we have on our side.
Certainly one of the best operatives.
I think there are a cadre...
steve bannon
Why do you say...
Listen, the guys at Noam know this.
People gotta understand, during the latter stages of the campaign, there were a number of people, even people associated with the campaign, didn't think we were gonna pull it off.
And they started leaking...
There were some negative stories about Alex capped by G. Joe's...
Wall Street Journal podcast.
But the kid was under a lot of pressure, particularly after the Madison Square Garden rally, where they were trying to blame him for a bunch of stuff that he was blameless for.
But why do you say, DeGrasse, why do you say he's one of the brightest geniuses we have in this space?
alex degrasse
I think it takes a lot of courage to break from the status quo.
I mean, as a political operative, you've got the TV ads, you've got the playbook, you do this, that, you're talking about the middle.
You know, it's just sort of garbage at this point.
And Alex was one of the folks that sort of pushed through a new sort of tactic, which ended up playing into what War Room has always talked about, this sort of emerging Trump coalition, going after those low propensity, which means, you know, voters that maybe vote less likely, sort of less involved, more kind of doing their own day to day.
They're with us, but they're just not sort of consumed by it, like all of us watching on the show that are out there every day.
So Alex tapped into that, and I think the way they reached those voters were obviously the podcast.
I mean, Steve, this is so effective that on MSNBC, like every day, it's like this right-wing media ecosystem.
It's, you know, eco-chamber.
Ah, they're melting down.
I mean, the war room part of that, I think the podcast, you know, X, all of these sort of tools that we have to reach directly to voters.
Alex's main job now, certainly as someone that works with him, is, you know, he's sort of the voice with President Trump in the campaign, you know, sort of now being retooled into Never Surrender.
They took the campaign.
They retooled the entity into that to amplify and support President Trump from the outside, which is key.
So all of the pieces are being laid out.
And I think everyone's in step working on every avenue and certainly.
We need Alex, and he's going to have a huge role in that because we have to take the message directly to the voters, and we need the posse.
And I know we'll have more news about that next week.
We've got the force multiplier.
We need a continued engagement because Trump won, right?
And everyone was, like, real fired up about the cabinet picks, and that was a battle.
And, I mean, geez, we might go 100 percent on that.
Except, obviously, with Gates.
But no one really saw that.
If you rewind a month and a half ago, two months.
And the next challenge is this constitutional crisis.
That's what I think we need to lean in on.
We need to own the term.
They have put our country into a constitutional crisis.
And we will win through the sheer political will and muscle of the posse, of the patriots, and of this new Trump coalition, which the Wall Street Journal has never understood, of course.
unidentified
And Alex is exactly right.
And I know they've got some good people over there.
steve bannon
To Alex DeGrasse's point, Tulsi Gabbard just approved on the Senate floor.
A massive victory.
Remember, she's in trouble.
This is going to be in trouble.
So I think we can announce the engine room's telling me that Tulsi Gabbard's been approved.
At least that's what I'm hearing and what I'm seeing.
Do what?
I'm hearing right now breaking.
Tulsi Gabbard's been officially confirmed as Director of National Intelligence under President Donald Trump.
Alex DeGrasse, where do they get you, sir?
alex degrasse
Matt DeGrasse, 81 on X on Getter Truth at DeGrasse.
Stay tuned, Force Multiplier Academy.
That's going to be huge at CPAC if you're going.
Obviously, hit the chat like Grace, Captain Bannon.
We're all going to be there.
Wren, I know it's coming together great.
A lot of news is going to go on there, and we're going to hammer hard because next week really is going to become the turning point with CPAC, with the grassroots, as we lead a great counteroffensive, frankly.
Reclaim the narrative, go on offense, get this done, and muscle through President Trump's agenda that we, the voters, Steve, Had elected in a landslide, of course.
steve bannon
One more time, social media.
By the way, Alex is going to be with us at CPAC. Go to cpac.org slash war room.
You get a huge discount, 76 bucks.
You're going to get a full, if you show the ticket, you get a full.
Force Multiplier Academy all-day event.
In fact, I'm trying to work it out to actually do the show live, the morning show live from the Force Multiplier.
You get a free lunch, then you get three days of CPAC. It's going to be incredible.
We're going to have a couple of parties and a brunch.
It's going to be once-in-a-lifetime to hang out and get some muzzle velocity on this year going forward.
One more time, your social media, Alex.
alex degrasse
Add to Grass 81 on X. I'm at Getter Truth Add to Grass.
Thank you, Steve, and thank you to the posse.
steve bannon
Thank you, brother.
We may have jumped the gun there slightly.
I'm looking at one of my news feeds.
Just gave it to me.
Maybe they see something we don't.
Tulsi Gabbards in the show gets confirmed.
We know we got the vote, so this is just a matter of kind of forum.
We'll see this here momentarily, but that's a huge win.
What people are saying is that for you folks being at the Ramparts, I got this done.
202-224-3121, that's for Bobby Kennedy.
Later, going to be a cloture vote at 1 o'clock for Bobby Kennedy.
I don't think, I think they're going to stretch out the time as long as possible.
I'm not so sure his regular vote is going to happen after midnight.
They need to stay because President Trump needs him.
Cash Patels.
The committee vote on judiciaries tomorrow.
Pam Bondi's going to have a press conference at 4.30.
We're going to pick it up.
Benzman's just reporting.
He's got information on potential going kinetic against the Mexican cartels.
Maybe I have some other intelligence people here, too, about some of these intelligence flights.
A lot going on.
President Trump taking on all comers on all fronts at all times.
Every day is like Christmas Day.
It couldn't get any better.
Of course, we're dealing with exactly what is going on with exactly what's going on with this finance, with the budget.
I'll break that down after the show.
We'll have a detailed report here 5 to 7 tonight.
We need you on the Ramparts.
If you get to Grace Chung, get Bill Blaster.
Or if you go over to Article 3 and sign up with Mike Davis, you're at the Ramparts.
We need you there.

Of course, our great sponsors at Patriot Mobile.
I'm down.

I got to figure it out.
On the 28th of February.
I'm speaking down at Tarrant County.
28th.
It's already sold out in Overflow.
I think there are 200 tickets in Overflow already.
We're going to give a barn burner.
And Poso is going to be with me and Amanda Milius and others.
Short break.

Okay.
steve bannon
War Room Posse.
Amazing.
Tulsi Gabbard.
51-47.
I think it's still a couple of...
52-48.
And the two against were...
It looks like McConnell...
No, only one against.
We got 53. Only Mitch McConnell.
Love it, right?
He's going to get up in your grill, send a message.
I want to thank the engine room for sending us all the information.
So Tulsi Gabbards, across folks, remember all MSNBC for night after night after night that she was in trouble.
She was the most, remember, the last three of Cash, Bobby.
And Tulsi, she was the one most in danger.
Remember, over and over and over again.
And it was you.
There's all kinds of stories.
There's all these subtle, behind-the-scenes discussions between these guys.
I'm sure that was interesting, and I'm glad it took place.
This was pure political muscle provided by, you know, the Turning Points, the War Room Posse, Jack Posovic, of course, Mike Davis, all the team over there.
Hat tip for Article 3. This is a massive win.
Tulsi Gabbard is Director of National Intelligence.
Let me repeat that.
Tulsi Gabbard is Director of National Intelligence.
The reason this is so meaningful for me is that I reached out to a young congresswoman right after we won in 2016 and the days right afterwards.
I said, hey, we'd love to talk to you about coming onto the cabinet.
And she came up to Washington.
In fact, she had that day.
We kind of bifurcated.
She came up, and she wanted Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense.
She was very ambitious.
We said it was for the United Nations.
She says, look, I don't know if I'm interested in leaving Congress for that, but I'll come up and talk.
I'd love to meet President-elect Trump.
We had it set up that she went first and Nikki Haley went second.
I can tell you, and people know this at the time, there was no comparison.
She was so much more impressive than Nikki Haley.
It was like orders of magnitude.
Now she'd served her country in that area of the world.
She kind of had a warrior's mentality and also very calm, very focused.
Just an amazing, amazing young woman.
And I think look how she's grown into the person she is today, which is even more powerful and more focused.
For President Trump to pick someone really outside the IC community to oversee it, he wants change.
He wants real change.
And she's the one that can do it.
Although, remember, D&I is controversial, not that they have direct control over these.
17 individual assets.
Maybe, first off, we get them down to like 10. Let's reorganize seven or merge them into things, but there's just too much of it.
It's just all over the place and too much.
Tulsi Gabbard is the Director of National Intelligence.
That will shake this city up.
They're in the mumble tank right now.
They thought they had her dead to rights.
It shows you the power of your agency, the power of your agency, the power of your agency.
You're running the deal here.
That's where President Trump can lean on your support.
It's so important.
And it's just absolutely incredible.
I had someone from CNN last night was telling me that about the precinct strategy, about people calling different, that every time we'd have something on or have something about a local office, you know, hundreds of emails, hundreds of phone calls rattling these people.
And that's what it takes.
And they've tried every type of sophisticated way to shut you off, but this is incredible.
This is 100% hat tip to you.
Grace Chong, Mo, Grace with the Bill Blaster, fantastic.
Thank you for the development team that's made this easier.
Grace Chong's been up on the ramparts.
Mike Davis, his entire team over there with Article 3. Remember, Mike really set up Article 3 after the Internet Accountability Project.
And look, Mike Davis was one of the first guys with Rachel Bovard and these others, Gail Slater, to go after the oligarchs.
In the early days of the oligarch war, they were the first.
And then he's, you know, because he was so helpful and so critical at judiciary in confirmation.
Mike's kind of running the outside group on confirmation.
So Mike Davis can't say enough for everybody.
Incredible.
They thought they had her dead to rights.
Remember that.
They thought they had Tulsi Gabbard.
It was pure Linsky, color from the herd.
Now, where do we stand now?
Bobby Kennedy.
We're going to, I think, run the tables this afternoon and this evening with Bobby Kennedy, although it's never sure.
That's why I make a call, 202-224-3121, or use your app at Bill Blaster or Article 3, whatever is your preference, and do it.
It's very important that you do it, so do it today.
And just couldn't be prouder of people.
Just could not be prouder of people.
Cash is the committee tomorrow.
They're trying to put cash in real jeopardy.
They're leaking stuff on cash every day, including a film I was in with him that he produced or helped pull it together.
It was a pretty straightforward film on people around President Trump that the Russia gay people had come after.
And it was the Russia hoax.
Pretty straightforward film, I think, made by Oliver Stone's son.
Pretty good film.
I was proud to be a part of it.
Pretty good film.
They're trying to get cash on that.
They're trying to get cash on everything.
That's why they delayed his hearing.
Let's say Mike Lindell had some surgery over the last couple of days.
I've got a recorded message for him.
Let's go ahead and play that.
Get some action for Mike Lindell.
