|
Bring it. | |
| And who turned it over. | ||
| Because people are very focused on this. | ||
| Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, the Epstein files, all of it. | ||
|

And it's people like Bannon. | |

See where they start pulling at those strings, Steve. | |
| I'm going to give it to you, brother. | ||
| Eric, this was a massive fight in the first... | ||
| This was a massive fight in the... | ||
| In the first term. | ||
| It was a massive fight about releasing these files. | ||
| And now, when you do it, I think you also ought to list everybody that had responsibility to sign off. | ||
| And to me, they should have done a polygraph test that they turned everything. | ||
| I think that's how unconvinced the public is they're getting complete information. | ||
| I think this is a huge deal. | ||
|

|
And, you know, tomorrow we'll see. | |
| But it's a huge deal. | ||
| Robert F. Kennedy's main justice. | ||
| John F. Kennedy is the culture center. | ||
| President Trump went to both. | ||
| One on Friday, one today. | ||
| They're both historic and really seizing the high ground against the deep state in the imperial capital, sir. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Beautiful. | |
| Give it to you, Steve. | ||
| Talk to you soon, brother. | ||
| Thank you, brother. | ||
| Eric, always great. | ||
| Thank you, sir. | ||
| Those TFs are fantastic and the clips are amazing. | ||
| Mad dog, the clips are amazing. | ||
| Don't ever change. | ||
| Okay, we're jam-packed today. | ||
| The hearing, I think, is still going on. | ||
| In Washington. | ||
| And Julie Kelly is following that. | ||
| She's going to join us. | ||
| But we have our own Natalie Winters at the White House. | ||
| Let's do a cold open for Natalie. | ||
| We will bring her in. | ||

So the president is visiting the Kennedy Center this afternoon to attend a board meeting. | |
| A question about what happened a few weeks ago today. | ||
| The Kennedy Center got bomb threats targeting a performance by Shingyuan Performing Arts, which is an American company showcasing China before communism. | ||
| This company has been targeted, unfortunately, by the CCP for years. | ||
| I'm wondering if this administration has a response to this and also as the president is putting an emphasis on arts and culture. | ||
| What's the administration's message to potentially foreign state actors who are trying to disrupt that in the U.S.? Don't disrupt it. | ||
| This administration will take that very seriously and hold you accountable. | ||
| We obviously condemn any violence or threats of violence against American institutions. | ||
| And the president will be traveling to the Kennedy Center later this afternoon. | ||
| I look forward to going with him. | ||
| As you know, he is now the chairman of the board of the Kennedy Center, where he hopes to restore arts and culture that embrace American tradition. | ||
| Don't disparage it, as we have unfortunately seen over the past several years. | ||
| The president will be doing a tour of the center. | ||
| In his business developer mind, I'm sure he will make some recommendations on how the center itself can be improved, but also will be discussing perhaps some future plays and musicals and theatrical programs that the center will be hosting under his new leadership and the board's new leadership. but also will be discussing perhaps some future plays and Thank you very much, Chief. | ||
| We're here to have our first board meeting, Kennedy Center, and it's in tremendous disrepair. | ||
| As is a lot of the rest of our country, most of it because of bad management. | ||
| This is a shame what I've watched and witnessed. | ||
| They spent a fortune, $250 million, and they built these rooms that nobody's going to use, rooms underground. | ||
| And I've often wondered, what are the big cubes that they have outside that block the view? | ||
| They're cubes with a door in them. | ||
| So the people can get down to rooms that nobody's going to use. | ||
| And it's a shame. | ||
| It's a shame. | ||
| The other thing is that I have a little problem with some people that work here. | ||
| We had Lee Greenwood. | ||
| He wanted to sing a little song today. | ||
| And because of the cost in the union structure, for him to sing a song just for the board, just a board meeting, it was going to cost $30,000. | ||
| That doesn't sound too good. | ||
| They wanted $30,000 to move a piano. | ||
| So you can't have that. | ||
| So we're going to fix it up. | ||
| But it's really emblematic of our country. | ||
| At the Kennedy Center, if you look at the columns outside, you look at I mean, they're supposed to be covered by something, whether it's marble or whatever, granite. | ||
| They were never covered. | ||
| They were painted. | ||
| But bringing it to more modern times, a lot of money has been given to it, and the money has not been properly spent. | ||
| They built rooms underground with no windows, no nothing. | ||
| That will not be used ever. | ||
| You're not going to have people use them. | ||
| It's such a waste of money. | ||
| Such a terrible waste. | ||
| But we'll make it. | ||
| We'll bring it back. | ||
| We'll make it great again. | ||
| But it is so much like what I'm witnessing in other places. | ||
| We have open borders. | ||
| We have men playing in women's sports. | ||
| It's all the same thing. | ||
| It's all the same mentality and thinking. | ||
| So I'm very disappointed when I look around. | ||
| The bottom line, it has tremendous potential. | ||
| We work with Congress. | ||
| As you know, it's a very public facility. | ||
| And we'll do what has to be done. | ||
| We'll be having a meeting with the Speaker in the not-too-distant future. | ||
| I think it's important to save this structure in this building. | ||
| Claiming a power he does not possess, Donald Trump took to social media in the middle of the night, no less. | ||
| This sounds made up. | ||
| This is true. | ||
| This really happened, guys. | ||
| To say he's going to void a number of the pardons President Joe Biden issued in his final hours as president. | ||
| Trump claimed with zero evidence in the middle of the night on social media that the preemptive pardons President Biden issued to the January 6th select committee members are somehow invalid because they were signed using an auto pen. | ||
| The auto pen is a commonly used device that replicates a handwritten signature. | ||
| Most presidents use them. | ||
| He also alleged that President Biden didn't know about the pardons and that the committee members would be, quote, subject to investigation at the highest level, end quote. | ||
| Again, all this in a middle-of-the-night tweet. | ||
| Trump's claim is a clear affront to the Constitution, which for better or worse gives any president the broad power to issue pardons and makes no provision for later presidents to rescind them. | ||
| In the middle of the night on social media. | ||
| New York Times describes Trump's new attack on the rule of law like this. | ||
| Quote, Trump's assertion, which embraced a baseless right-wing conspiracy theory about former President Joseph Biden, was a new escalation of his anti-democratic rhetoric. | ||
| Implicit in his post was Trump's belief that the nation's laws should be whatever he decrees them to be. | ||
| And it was a jolting reminder that his appetite for revenge has not been sated. | ||
| Joining us at the table, former Democratic Senator MSNBC political analyst Claire McCaskill is here. | ||
| What do you think? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, be careful what you wish for, Donald Trump. | |
| I mean, can you imagine unpardoning all the stuff he's done? | ||
| I wonder how all those J6 folks that have been pardoned feel about him doing this. | ||
| And frankly, I think an investigation into the January 6th committee would end up making him look bad. | ||
| Trump, that is. | ||
| Not the people who participated in a fact-finding mission that was always factually based. | ||
| I was never really crazy about that pardon in the first place. | ||
| If I'd been a member of that committee, I would have said, like I think Adam Schiff did, bring it. | ||
| Bring it, guy. | ||
| You think you've got some way to put me in jail for doing my job? | ||
| Then try it and see how the American public reacts. | ||
| In the middle of the night stuff, we know he's not well. | ||
| I mean, a president of the United States is not up in the middle of the night retweeting conspiracy stuff that is made out of whole cloth. | ||
| I mean, somebody who's normal. | ||
| I mean, we know this is not a normal guy. | ||
| This is a guy that is trying to bring a wrecking ball, not just to the services provided to Americans by the hard-earned dollars they pay to the government, but also a wrecking ball to our two branches of government. | ||
| And the checks and balances that our founding fathers relied on. | ||
| The Supreme Court's going to have a lot of work to do. | ||
| It will be very interesting to see. | ||
| And Andrew and I have talked about it off camera many times before. | ||
| And I've said it on this program before. | ||
| The action of the next two years is primarily going to be in the courts. | ||
| 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? | ||
|

|
Mega media. | |
| I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. | ||

Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? | |
| If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. | ||

War Room. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann. | ||
| Monday, 17th, March, Year of Our Lord, 2025. | ||
| Thank you for joining the late afternoon, early evening edition of The War Room. | ||
| It's St. Paddy's Day. | ||
| We are going to have Michael Walsh. | ||
| They had a very special guest. | ||
| At the White House today, actually, I guess in the press briefing room, Michael Walsh is going to walk us through that. | ||
| Rick, Ambassador Rick Rennell, we've been in contact with Rick. | ||
| We're going to try to get Rick in an assessment of the board meeting at the Kennedy Center today, a little later in the show. | ||
| Julie Kelly is still plugged in to this hearing by the judge to try to reverse. | ||
| The Alien Enemies Act of 1798, as we were sending the bad guys back home, and we're sending them back home rapidly. | ||
| Claire McCaskill just said it right there, for the next two years, what'd she say? | ||
| For the next two years, the actions are going to be in the court. | ||
| That's where they're going to try to stop us. | ||
| Of course, Mike Davis laid it all out for you today, the battle plan, what we have to do about it. | ||
| We're going on offense. | ||
| We'll get to much of that. | ||
| Hopefully, Julie will be at the bottom of the hour when they're finished with this hearing. | ||
| She will join us for a complete assessment. | ||
| Natalie Winters joins us now. | ||
| Natalie, walk us through the day at the White House. | ||
| So much going on on the eve. | ||
| They're going to have a meeting, I guess, telephonically or video conference with the president and Putin tomorrow. | ||
| So much going on. | ||
| He goes over to the Kennedy Center. | ||
| But it's full on, full of salt. | ||
| The resistance, right? | ||
| You've been covering kind of the adjunct to the legal to get them into court, who's financing it, who's supporting it. | ||
| Now they've got this, you know, Bernie Sanders and AOC, the only two people who can draw a crowd, are essentially doing a college tour, I think it is. | ||
| And they're going to get a lot of people there as they do what they call the oligarchs tour. | ||
| Natalie Winters, your thoughts and observations on the day, ma'am. | ||
| Well, I think what we're witnessing is the complete reversal of America's managed decline. | ||
| And I think you see it really going on from every single vertical, every single corner, really, of American society. | ||
| I think you have the cultural stuff really leading the news cycle today with what's going on at the Kennedy Center. | ||
| I think the speech that President Trump gave outside there, which I think you have to understand the gravitas of him going and essentially invading. | ||
| And I use that word intentionally. | ||
| What is the high church of sort of the swampy D.C. elite and telling them everything that they have been doing, not just wrong with that center, but as a broader reflection and microcosm for how they have been terrorizing this country. | ||
| But I think you can't decouple that from what is happening tomorrow and what has happened more broadly with Ukraine, with Russia, with Vladimir Putin, who, let's be frank, that is what this city, the think tank, the K Street lobbyists, the entire globalist Atlantisist class has essentially not just made their millions off of. | ||
| but has been the core, the raison d'etre, right, that they exist to sort of thwart the rise of Russia. | ||
| We know in reality it's all propaganda and hyping it up. | ||
| Obviously they're bad guys. | ||
| But they exploit that fear to make the argument that we should just continue sending hundreds of billions of dollars to Ukraine. | ||
| So whether it's the Kennedy Center, whether it's what's happening with Russia, or frankly what's happening on elite university campuses like Colombia, right, with these protesters, or what's happening at the southern border and deporting. | ||
| Apparently it's controversial to deport foreign terrorists. | ||
| That was a real hot take in today's press briefing. | ||
| But you are witnessing the reversal of America's managed decline. | ||
| Which is something that I don't think anyone really thought was possible, certainly at this rate or pace. | ||
| But I think what you're seeing, what you were alluding to... | ||
| Is the apoplectic nature of the left in response? | ||
| And certainly, don't get me wrong, the courts is how they're choosing to fight back against this with lawfare. | ||
| They had four years to sharpen their knives, sharpen their tools, and understand how to attack President Trump. | ||
| But they're also mobilizing, mass mobilizing, in the streets, with these town halls. | ||
| And we couldn't get into some of the funding for this. | ||
| A lot of this is coming from George Soros. | ||
| They're paying these activists to show up. | ||
| They like the facade, the smokescreen, that this is all people-driven. | ||
| It's grassroots-driven, but when you really pull the curtain, the smoke screen behind it, it's an actual billionaire who's bankrolling the Families Over Billionaires movement. | ||
| This whole oligarchic, anti-oligarch tour is being funded by oligarchs, by actual totalitarian oligarchs like George Soros, like the Reid Hoffmans of the world. | ||
| So it's just more gaslighting, but I guess that's what we've come to expect. | ||
| Yeah, no, what they want to do is take the eye off the ball. | ||
| They want to take the eye off particularly the movement that will hold them accountable. | ||
| Natalie, stay right there. | ||
| We hope you don't blow away. | ||
| A little windy. | ||
| March coming in like a lion. | ||
| Hopefully it'll go out like a lamb. | ||
| We're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| Johnny Kahn's going to take you out. | ||
| Take your phone out. | ||
| Text Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N-N-9-8-9-8-9-8. | ||
| You get to Birch Gold. | ||
| Get the free brochure. | ||
| Investing in gold and precious metals in the era of Trump, the ultimate guide. | ||
| This will tell you everything you need to know and put you in contact with Philip Patrick and his team. | ||
| As they explain to you why gold has been a hedge against times of financial turbulence for, I don't know, 5,000 years of man's recorded history. | ||
| Johnny Kahn takes us out, American Heart. | ||
| Natalie Winters on the other side. | ||

I got American power. | |

|
Something different. | |
| There is now a member of the European Parliament from France who does not think the U.S. represents the values of the Statue of Liberty anymore. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They want the Statue of Liberty back. | |
| So is President Trump going to send the Statue of Liberty back to France? | ||
| Absolutely not. | ||
| And my advice to that unnamed, low-level French politician would be to remind them that it's only because of the United States of America that the French are not speaking German right now. | ||
| So they should be very grateful to our great country. | ||

Kelly. | |
| Boom! | ||
| Caroline Levitt. | ||
| Both barrels. | ||
| She had a bunch of those today. | ||
| We're going to play a few more throughout the rest of the show. | ||
| Signal, not noise here, ma'am. | ||
| Natalie Winters, the Families Over Bayonaires Tour, which is the only thing politically they've got going. | ||
| Of course, their numbers are in the tank. | ||
| They're trying to copy war room, go after the oligarchs. | ||
| Walk me through what oligarchs are actually financing this and how are they financing it. | ||
| You've done your own individual research on this topic, ma'am. | ||
| Well, I want to focus on the group Indivisible before we sort of backtrack into Families Over Billionaires, because for what it's worth, Families Over Billionaires is not an actual group that exists. | ||
| If you wanted to donate money to them, you couldn't. | ||
| They're part of Arabella Advisors. | ||
| They're part of the left-wing Dark Money Network, the 1630 Fund. | ||
| But I think Indivisible, and frankly, Steve, I think that this is a very important narrative, right? | ||
| Because the idea that the press corps is trying to foment and really gin up is that the American people don't support Doge. | ||
| They don't support really draining the swamp, right? | ||
| Coming after the administrative state and tackling a lot of these programs like USAID that have no demonstrable benefit to American citizens, right? | ||
| That is the truth. | ||
| That is the fact. | ||
| And Indivisible, which has really been the backbone in spearheading so much of these protests and demonstrations, well, they're actually paying not just these protesters to participate in these town halls, to go after their members of Congress. | ||
| They specifically have a, quote, Musk or Us program where they're paying protesters up to $200 to participate in events like these. | ||
| But I have new reporting coming out today highlighting how they are now subsidizing up to $1,500 per Indivisible group to host. | ||
| They also are subsidizing group retreats, whether that's for things like cookouts and barbecues and pizza parties, or what they call solidarity-building events like DEI training. | ||
| You can even see with the picture you have up on screen. | ||
| people can choose if they want to be reimbursed via check, direct deposit, or their distributed fundraising account, right? | ||
| And I just think that stories like these, it's really important to drill down because if you look at it broadly, right, how the left-wing media presents it, they never drill down on how these protesters, these individuals are being funded by Soros-funded entities, by these left-wing dark money networks. | ||
| The people that you're seeing, it's not like they are organically or altruistically deciding to protest something. | ||
| They are being paid to do so. | ||
| And in the same vein right now, AOC and Bernie Sanders, which I guess that's their last ditch effort, that's the only thing they have to try to push back against the wins and victories of President Trump to support, right, the working class, yet in the same breath, they can't come out and oppose illegal immigration, try to square that in your mind. | ||
| I mean, they're no worse than these paid protesters, right? | ||
| They're essentially the ultimate glorification of what it means to be a paid protest They're so bought and paid for, whether it's by the dark money, the special interests, or in the case of Bernie Sanders, the Koch brothers, we know right after he took... | ||
| I cannot stress this enough. | ||
| It's not just a PSYOP. It is full-blown information warfare that, frankly, fits in quite nicely to the sort of architect that is the color revolution, whereby one of the key pillars of that is creating really astroturfing, fake mass demonstrations, fake protests, trying to make it seem like the American people are so adamantly opposed to what the Trump administration is doing. | ||
| And I've watched, Steve, a lot of these phone calls, the mass mobilization calls that Indivisible is putting on. | ||
| And they have something that they like to tout called the 3.5 percent rule, where they believe that if just 3.5 percent of a population of a society really, really believes something and speaks out about it and protests, that that is enough to block something that is otherwise super popular and received that that is enough to block something that is otherwise super popular and received in the Tens of millions of votes, the popular vote and, of course, the Electoral College. | ||
| So this is the level, the granularity to which they are planning and advocating these tactics, these protests behind the scenes. | ||
| They're not organic. | ||
| They're very well funded. | ||
| And the same with this Families Over Billionaires group that's bankrolled by a Swiss billionaire. | ||
| But I'm sure all the press that's not too far away from me right now, they probably won't be melting down about foreign election interference or foreign collusion because it doesn't fit the Atlanticist Russia, Russia, Russia narrative. | ||
| Take a second. | ||
| I just want to go back and do a slight reset on dark money and Arabella Advisors. | ||
| Arabella Advisors is not just a conduit where money comes in, but they also give advice on structure, on tactics, on strategy, all of it. | ||
| Who's Arabella Advisors? | ||
| Because they've been at the forefront of this movement now for quite a while, and it's kind of the platinum class. | ||
| I would consider them near the best of the best. | ||
| Who are they? | ||
| How do they operate and what is dark money? | ||
| Well, Steve, I think you may be going soft. | ||
| They're not the best of the best. | ||
| They're the worst of the worst. | ||
| These people represent every progressive. | ||
| That's too euphemistic a term. | ||
| But far, far left, megadonor, the type of people who want to control and terraform this country, right? | ||
| It is a domestic United States-specific version of the World Economic Forum, of the United Nations. | ||
| people who want to hide themselves, right, in these funds, whether it's the 1630 fund, Arabella Advisors, the new venture fund, exploiting these tax loopholes, these disclosure loopholes, so their identities are not revealed. | ||
| So it's relying upon independent investigative reporters to unearth these identities. | ||
| They obviously exploit that. | ||
| That's all by design. | ||
| But these people weaponize. | ||
| We're not talking millions. | ||
| We're not talking tens of millions, hundreds of millions, billions of dollars to really what is, I think we can describe it as terraform this country, our political landscape, into something that they adhere to, that they agree with. | ||
| And frankly, what it all comes down to. | ||
| I think, you know, if you even brought it out, it's why we've seen foreign billionaires like the Swiss guy who's bankrolling the families over billionaires won't get involved, right? | ||
| Because they view the United States. | ||
| Not as a country, not as a place where citizenship should mean something, but you sort of see it in the way that they treat us through immigration processes and even financially. | ||
| It's why they hate tariffs. | ||
| They view the people here in the same way the group that supports H-1B visas and mass, unvetted, unfettered immigration. | ||
| They don't think there's anything unique about being American. | ||
| They treat us like a special economic zone. | ||
| They treat this country as something that they can manipulate politically. | ||
| Right? | ||
| And create these fake astroturfed movements. | ||
| Right now, the biggest, you know, shtick is, oh, we really, really hate billionaires. | ||
| But that should show you, Steve, not just frankly how insulting and dumb that they think Americans are that we're going to fall for it, but it's projection, right? | ||
| It's Alinsky to its core. | ||
| The billionaires are now funding people to accuse us of supporting policies that are only going to embolden and help billionaires, right? | ||
| These people are really, I mean... | ||
| The absolute scum of the earth, and I use that intentionally. | ||
| And you know what, Steve? | ||
| At least our billionaires have the nerves, have the guts to put a face to the name and put their personalities on the line and stake their businesses and their interests behind the interests that they're willing to advocate for. | ||
| These people want to operate in the shadows, in darkness, and not be called out for what they're doing. | ||
| And frankly, Steve, it's because what they're trying to do to this country is so woefully unpopular. | ||
| It's Kamala Harris on steroids that they know if they ever actually had to make the case to the American people what they were truly So, | ||
| Natalie, whether it's Victoria Nuland in 2014, over a decade ago, at Modern Square, or it's the Tesla dealership on Saturday, or Bernie and AOC going on their tour, walk the audience through why astroturfing is such a key point, because every night I cut on Rachel Maddow. | ||
| As you know, one of the first parts of the show, they're breaking down everywhere from Salt Lake City to Dearborn, Michigan. | ||
| They're just going around the country, and it looks like it'd be 25 people here, 50 people there. | ||
| But they're constantly, constantly showing you how people are outraged, and people are coming out from their homes and protesting this. | ||
| Walk us through, why is astroturfing such a big deal, and why is it a constant in all these color revolutions? | ||
| I mean, whether it was Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, take any pick of any foreign war, have we not seen the same exact playbook, right, where they fan up these fake protests? | ||
| It's always, oh, this human rights allegation or this abuse. | ||
| In this case, oh, it's Tesla's doing this. | ||
| And it's propaganda. | ||
| I mean, it's domestic propaganda. | ||
| They, what, legalized it over a decade ago? | ||
| But that is why they are amping the airwaves. | ||
| They're chock full of this idea that Americans are in massive meltdown, are massively protesting everything that this administration is doing. | ||
| Now, look, I'm not saying that there are not protests going on. | ||
| Yes, there are. | ||
| I can hear one going on right outside. | ||
| But there's a lot more support, and there's zero coverage of that, right? | ||
| Let's just look at the latest polls that's coming out about the lack of support for the Democratic Party versus support for the Republican Party. | ||
| That doesn't necessarily square with the numbers that we're seeing in terms of these protests. | ||
| So I think the other side of it too, though, is you have to look at qui bono, right? | ||
| Who is profiting off of this? | ||
| Who is profiting off of continuing to create problems to destroy countries in the case of Ukraine? | ||
| Because there's a lot of upside in terms of rebuilding it. | ||
| And I think you see that even in the cheeky nature of Joe Biden's build back better statement. | ||
| It's not really about better. | ||
| It's just about building back something that they want to break because there's a lot of money in breaking it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| You bring up Victoria Newland. | ||
| Well, she used to be a senior counselor at the Albright Stonebridge Group. | ||
| They were recently acquired by Dentons, but they just added a bunch of Ukrainian people to their consultancy. | ||
| And they're actively advising, putting out papers about how we need to put tens of millions, not billions of dollars more into Ukraine, advising how to restructure Ukraine. | ||
| And the same way that West Exec Advisors, Antony Blinken's old firm, was intimately involved with the rebuilding process and reconstruction of Ukraine because they view it as a cash cow. | ||
| They view it as a really, really key and critical way to making millions of dollars. | ||
| And USAID was perhaps the kind of ultimate convergence of all of these factors coming together. | ||
| And it was the most, I think, probably egregious because it was government subsidized, right? | ||
| The Burisma loan and the aid that Joe Biden was talking about withholding to Ukraine, that was all coming from USAID, right? | ||
| And it's hard to cover this stuff. | ||
| It's always like talking about the Ukrainian names from the Hunter Biden hard drive, right? | ||
| Because it's so entangled and interwoven. | ||
| But that's because it's pattern recognition, right? | ||
| It's the same people who are profiting not just off of the destruction of, in this case, it's Ukraine. | ||
| Now it's the United States. | ||
| But it's the same people who are then profiting off of the so-called rebuilding, right? | ||
| And you see it in the World Economic Forum, right? | ||
| The idea that you'll own nothing and you'll be happy. | ||
| The 15-minute cities, the entire restructuring of the way that the world is created. | ||
| because there's a lot to gain from it. - Natalie, hang on for one second. | ||

Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann. | |
| Natalie, you're going to drop a big Can you just tease a little bit of what you're working on? | ||
| The stuff about Arabella has been fascinating, all the work you've been doing. | ||
| Because, remember, Claire McCaskill... | ||
| I tell you what, do we have Claire McCaskill? | ||
| Let's play Claire McCaskill. | ||
| I want Natalie to hear that one more time before we leave. | ||
| This whole part of the revolution and the resistance is predicated upon legal. | ||
| Do we have it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, we have it. | |
| Okay, let's play it. | ||
| Let's hit it. | ||

Others relied on. | |
| The Supreme Court's going to have a lot of work to do. | ||
| It will be very interesting to see, and Andrew and I have talked about it off camera many times before, and I've said it on this program before. | ||
| The action of the next two years is primarily going to be in the courts. | ||
| The action of the next two years is going to be in the courts, but they need to get into the streets. | ||
| To buttress this. | ||
| These judges need to know that they've got backup. | ||
| They've got political backup. | ||
| They're not going to have it from the Democratic Party. | ||
| They're essentially crushed. | ||
| So this is where it's going to come from. | ||
| And you're going to have these billionaires like the Reid Hoffmans of the world and our famous Swedish guy. | ||
| I think he's Swiss. | ||
| They're going to write huge checks. | ||
| So Natalie, tell us what you're going to tease the rest of the week on your investigative reports. | ||
| Well, I think just continuing to show that these so-called organic protesters are being paid to do so. | ||
| And remember, Steve, if they had the House, they'd be impeaching Trump right now, right? | ||
| That would be the equivalent of the lawfare. | ||
| But you're seeing the same stuff that they did in 2016. A few days ago, I was walking on the mall. | ||
| They had one of those huge demonstrations against President Trump. | ||
| But I had deja vu to 2016. I'm pretty sure it was the same people, the same signs. | ||
| And what was the number one thing that they were demanding for President Trump to be arrested and for the impeachment of President Trump? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| These people are not focused. | ||
| They're all over the place. | ||
| So that's where they're relying on these judges to really kind of keep them dialed in, because that's sort of where the key of it has been. | ||
| But we'll be drilling down, putting out more stories about who exactly is funding these protesters and how it seems that all roads always somehow lead to George Soros. | ||
| You can always follow me, Natalie G. Winters. | ||
| And as I was coming in today, just a fun note for the audience, saw Jeff Clark. | ||
| He wanted me to send his regards to the posse. | ||
| He says he is fighting the good fight in the White House. | ||
| And I just saw none other than Russ Vogt pass by just a few blocks away. | ||
| Everyone's here. | ||
| And Peter Navarro with Bonnie. | ||
| So how's that for a reunion? | ||
| Not bad. | ||
| That's a war room reunion right there. | ||
| Thank you, Natalie. | ||
| We'll let you get out of the wind tunnel. | ||

Thank you so much, girl. | |
| Fantastic. | ||
| Great report. | ||

|
And hopefully have her on tomorrow to talk about it. | |
| Let's go. | ||
| We've got, we had, it is St. Paddy's Day, right? | ||
| Let's go ahead and we had a special guest at the White House and we have a special guest here to talk about it. | ||
| Let's go ahead and play it. | ||
| You know, our government has long since abandoned the voices of the people of Ireland. | ||
| And it's high time that America is made aware of what is going on in Ireland. | ||
| What is going on in Ireland is a travesty. | ||
| Our government is the government of zero action with zero accountability. | ||
| You know, our money is being spent on overseas issues that has nothing to do with the Irish people. | ||
| The illegal immigration racket is running ravage on the country. | ||
| There are rural towns in Ireland that have been overrun in one swoop, that have become a minority in one swoop. | ||
| So issues need to be addressed. | ||
| And the 40 million Irish Americans, as I said, need to hear this, because if not, there will be no place to come home and visit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Michael Walsh, one of the War Room posse's favorite authors and writers, joins us now. | ||
| Michael Walsh, that was a fighter. | ||
| Tell our audience who are not Irish, who was that? | ||
| Because he was throwing down hard, brother, in the White House. | ||
| Well, let me wish my fellow diaspora and Irishman, Steve Bannon, a happy St. Patrick's Day today. | ||
| It's a day of pride for Irish Americans. | ||
| A reminder that the diaspora in America, which is almost 40 million people strong, has a real strong interest in what's happening in Ireland. | ||
| We are widely disparaged back home, as we call it, by people who think we're not somehow really Irish or we really have a rooting interest in what goes on in Ireland. | ||
| Steve, as you know, I went back and rebuilt my great grandmother's birthplace. | ||
| So I actually have a house. | ||
| I have skin in the game in Ireland, so this is very important to me. | ||
| Anyway, that was Conor McGregor. | ||
| I should start by observing that he is a highly controversial figure in Ireland. | ||
| He's not particularly well-regarded among the mainstream Irish populace. | ||
| While they're proud of him as an MF, what is it, mixed martial arts champ and outspoken personality. | ||
| He has a checkered past, shall we say, including a rape allegation for which he was never prosecuted but found civilly liable. | ||
| So he is a lightning rod of contention in Ireland, and I don't want to endorse him personally. | ||
| I don't know him, for one thing. | ||
| But I do want to say I'm glad that someone is putting the issues that are happening in Ireland. | ||
| The Irish media is part of a three-legged racket in Ireland that includes the uniparty government. | ||
| It's two opposing parties that are on the same side and actually work together. | ||
| The media, which is wholly in the pocket of the Irish government and is, to a large extent, funded by them. | ||
| So imagine if everything was NPR in the United States. | ||
| And the court system, which has a two-tier system of justice, immigrants have rights that Irish people don't have. | ||
| So I think McGregor, in his own uncouth way, is articulating this to Irish Americans. | ||
| And again, there's 30 to 40 million of us who think of the old country as the old country. | ||
| And then they go back, and they're very surprised to find out that in many places, the Irish are now a minority. | ||
| Michael, but the political class has sold out to the Irish people. | ||
| I mean, correct me if I'm wrong. | ||
| Isn't the political class there... | ||
| It's probably a country that's the political class is the most sold out to the party of Davos, to Davos World Economic Forum, to Brussels, the EU. This is why it's been open borders in Ireland. | ||
| I mean, it's been a fiasco, and the Irish themselves have been at the receiving end of all this, sir? | ||
| That is the truth, because, as you know, Steve, the Irish were forced practically at gunpoint to join the EU. They voted against it the first time, and then they didn't vote right, so they were told to vote harder. | ||
| Until they got it right. | ||
| And so now they're in the EU. And as a result, their politicians and government officials answer to the EU, not to the Irish people. | ||
| So the notion that Ireland has sovereignty, for example, its neutrality is coming up under question now about whether they should send peacekeeping troops to the Ukraine, is moot, because it actually is a satrapy of Brussels. | ||
| And the Irish leaders... | ||
| Both of whom, one of whom is here now, one was in the White House the other day, answered to Brussels, not to the people of Ireland. | ||
| So it's a real fundamental question of patriotism and who is to be boss in their own country. | ||
| Our country just went through this, and we answered that question. | ||
| And the Trump administration is answering that question every single day, much to the distress of the left. | ||
| But as you know from your experience in Europe as well, Europe... | ||
| Western Europe, in particular, feels very differently about this. | ||
| And to them, democracy is bureaucracy, is leftist control of the bureaucracy. | ||
| The guy that won the Romanian election has now been declared, he can't run again. | ||
| He can't even run for the office. | ||
| We saw the French shut down Le Pen. | ||
| We saw the Germans just recently shut down AFD, even though it's now the second largest party in Germany. | ||
| So democracy isn't the point anymore. | ||
| It's fealty to what I call the EUSSR. And as you know, I was in the USSR when Chernobyl blew up, and I was there right at the very end, not to mention being in Berlin when the wall came down in 89. So I've seen this movie before, and I think the warning That McGregor gave to Irish America and all of America is very well taken. | ||
| Isn't as many rough edges as he has, and he is a mixed martial art combatant, isn't it almost, given the state of the media there, right, isn't it almost you need something like this to break through the white noise? | ||
| You need an armor-piercing shell to wake people up and let them know there is another way, sir? | ||
| Well, you do. | ||
| We've done it. | ||
| As you, better than anybody, knows with Donald Trump, who was not the most popular man in the United States when he ran for president in 2016, and was the object of tremendous disparagement in so many ways, and still is in so many ways. | ||
| And again, without endorsing McGregor personally or his personal life, he has articulated these very, very important issues. | ||
| Which Irish America and all of America needs to at least know is going on, because the media will throttle this in its cradle in Ireland. | ||
| It will not get out, and all of its shills will immediately start tweeting about, you know, what an awful person he is and make the man the subject instead of the subject. | ||
| And we have to concentrate on the subject, just as we do here in the United States right now. | ||
| Michael, talk to people about your latest book. | ||
| The Warren Posse are obviously huge fans, and this is another blockbuster. | ||
| Talk to us about it. | ||
| Well, congratulations on your daughter being appointed to the board at West Point. | ||
| I'm talking to West Point right now about going down and doing a little hold-up of the book here. | ||
| Let's see if I can get it in the... | ||
| There we go. | ||
| It's called A Rage to Conquer, and it is a sequel. | ||
| To my book, Last Stands, which came out just four or five years ago and was in large part thanks to War Room and to you, Steve, a tremendous hit for St. Martin's Press. | ||
| So it's about these issues we are talking about. | ||
| Everything comes down to certain basics. | ||
| And one of them is, what is masculinity? | ||
| To use McGregor an example, he's an extreme example of toxic masculinity. | ||
| not to be emulated in his personal life. | ||
| And at the same time, you have this colorless class of servants and bureaucrats who are as unmasculine as possible. | ||
| And so they treat us guys, men like you and me, Steve, and many of our friends, a number of whom are now in the Trump administration, I'm very happy to say, as if we're somehow the outliers and the aberration But what Rage to Conqueror seeks to show is The importance of strong men, commanders in battles that have an existential meaning. | ||
| And without them, you will lose. | ||
| It's that simple. | ||
| I will say in history, you need the leaders and things like that can stand and have more courage, but in every battle, you need a lot of Conor McGregor's who are just going to stand in the breach and not give up an itch. | ||
| He's a warrior. | ||
| I realize he's got some rough edges, some personal issues, but I don't know if I call it toxic. | ||
| It's certainly edgy, right? | ||
| But I think he's the kind of guy that Ireland at least needs to pierce the How awful that political class is to put them on notice. | ||
| Anyway, Michael, where do people get the book? | ||
| The book they have to read. | ||
| It's amazing. | ||
| You won't put it down. | ||
| It almost reads like a novel. | ||
| You've taken 10 or 12 great battles. | ||
| Where do they go? | ||
| Thank you for that, Steve. | ||
| They get it on Amazon. | ||
| They can get it from Macmillan, online, any bookstore, of course. | ||
| We'll do it. | ||
| It's been a little hard for me to break through all the news, which is exclusively political, to get the word on this book out, so I'm grateful that you've had me back on. | ||
| We'll get it out. | ||
| Thank you, sir. | ||

| Okay, today, action-packed. | ||
| President Trump at the Kennedy Center, where he announced that tomorrow, 80,000 pages, the last 80,000 pages of the investigation and documentation are going to be released. | ||
| Also, President Trump is going to have the first telephonic meeting on this topic in a real sense. | ||
| He's talked to Putin before, and clearly on the run-up. | ||
| And it was discussion today about Crimea, what the situation in Crimea is. | ||
| So the beginning of the rapprochement with Russia and some sort of deal to end this war in Ukraine, this bloody, needless war, will kick off tomorrow. | ||
| The release of the Kennedy documentation is supposed to be scheduled as president for tomorrow. | ||
| We're trying to get Rick Grinnell in the second hour to join us. | ||
| He's been in communication with me. | ||
| If he can do it, he's going to do it. | ||
| Julie Kelly. | ||
| He's also finished from the court hearing, and we're going to complete the report on Julie, just to reset the battlefield. | ||
| And this is why we kind of went off the chain this morning, because we had to. | ||
| The legal aspect of this is we have been warning about, and their tactic is quite evident. | ||
| They can't defeat President Trump, because what he's doing is constitutional. | ||
| They can't stop President Trump, but they can slow it down. | ||
| To delay is to deny. | ||
| And all they're doing is fighting a rearguard action to delay this and hopefully, in their case, delay it through the midterm elections. | ||
| And folks, don't think they're not going to try to drag this out. | ||
| Virtually in every area where President Trump is trying to either deconstruct the administrative state, take on the deep state, or just to effectuate his policies like... | ||
| As we said, the situation on the deportations, the curing of the border, the deportations, all of it. | ||
| We're in federal court. | ||
| I think there's 22 to 32 suits right now that are actually half-standing are in the courts being judged. | ||
| Essentially everything on his ability to make decisions on money, you got that $2 billion that's there for foreign aid that the federal judge at the first level saying, no, you've got to pay it. | ||
| Sorry about that. | ||
| Also, the firing, the riffing, the downsizing. | ||
| I think the probationary, they've ordered two different courts, San Francisco and now Maryland, have ordered that the probationary folks be hired back. | ||
| So everything is on this. | ||
| Also in the deportations. | ||
| It's just the first phase to get the most hardened criminals out. | ||
| These are the most, these are gangs that would, if they were in Mexico, would be terrorist organizations. | ||
| Right? | ||
| This is not even a question about the violence and ferocity of these gangs. | ||
| Federal judge is stopping that. | ||
| Julie Kelly is going to be at the top to walk us through it. | ||
| Because everything President Trump is doing, whether it's on the economic side, whether it's on stopping the kinetic wars, whether it's on everything, securing the border and deportations, the main three events. | ||
| He's being thwarted at every level, whether it's tariffs, whether it's talking about what he's trying to do to bring jobs back. | ||
| At every level, they're fighting him. | ||
| They're fighting him, even when he announces good news like bringing jobs back. | ||
| So this is full on. | ||
| As Claire McCaskill just said, she says the action for the next two years is going to be in the court. | ||
| At the same time, they have to stand up some political operation. | ||
| You saw the fact where the Democrats are in the 20s as far as approval. | ||
| So clearly they can't do it with those guys. | ||
| They're going to try to do something different. | ||
| And this is what Natalie's been doing such an amazing job of. | ||
| All these different billionaires that are essentially financing, trying to finance a color revolution. | ||
| And you're going to see all this AstroTurf protesting. | ||
| You're seeing them at the Tesla dealerships right now. | ||
| Now listen, do I think that there's a ton of these progressives? | ||
| Who all drank the Kool-Aid on the electric vehicle at the beginning that are now having second thoughts because Elon Musk came and he turned Twitter more to the conservative side and he's clearly helping. | ||
| He's the inspiration behind Doge. | ||
| He's overseeing Doge in this deconstruction of the administrative state and they're freaking out. | ||
| They hate him now because he's like an apostate that has turned against their beliefs and they hate it. | ||
| Yes, that's some of it, but a lot of this is being paid for. | ||
| By these billionaires that want to use Elon Musk and his efforts to turn it against President Trump, and that's where they go into Tesla dealerships. | ||
| That's why you're going to see, you saw these big crowds the last two weeks in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin for Bernie Sanders, and they're ratcheting up and they're taking, remember, all these oligarchs were progressive Democrats until 11 o'clock p.m. | ||
| on the 5th of November, 2024, when it was obvious that President Trump had won the presidency for the second time, and they were in absolute shock. | ||
| Total shock. | ||
| They all flipped. | ||
| They ran to Mar-a-Lago. | ||
| Those billionaires are progressive Democrats. | ||
| And now progressive Democrats are going to go out and say, oh, it's families over billionaires. | ||
| Where were you folks for years and years and years as you gave them the monopolistic basic business models? | ||
| Never put the Justice Department on them. | ||
| Never put the Federal Trade Commission on them. | ||
| I've never tried to break them up, but allowed them to become not companies or capitalistic companies worried about markets and profits, but basically tech feudalism oligarchs that are just digital platforms in rent because they're rent seekers. | ||
| And everybody's a digital surf. | ||
| That is Bernie Sanders. | ||
| That's AOC. | ||
| That's the entire Democratic Party. | ||
| Now, because of political expediency that we've exposed that they all want to run to that. | ||
| But the rest of this is all 100 percent astroturfed. | ||
| Birch Gold, we're gonna go through some turbulent times, Gold back up over $3,000. | ||
| It's not the price of gold. | ||
| It's how it got that way and where it's going in the future. | ||

| Why is it a hedge against times of turbulence? | ||
