Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people. | |
| You're not going to get a free shot on all these networks lying about the people. | ||

|
The people have had a belly full of it. | |
| I know you don't like hearing that. | ||
| I know you 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? | ||
| 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? | |

| War Room. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Vance. | ||
| You're in the War Room. | ||
| It's Wednesday, April 2nd in the year of our Lord 2025. | ||
| How's that for a mic drop moment? | ||
| Stephen K. Bannon will be returning to what's that? | ||
| The DOJ to give a speech tomorrow. | ||
| Pretty iconic if you ask me. | ||
| Also I guess I should say happy Liberation Day to those of you who celebrate. | ||
| So I guess everyone who's just not a globalist. | ||
| Speaking of globalists, I'm honored to bring on our first guest. | ||
| Don't worry, he'll get some rants later in the show, but I know he's got a tight out that is none other than Mike Benz, who I think is probably the perfect person to bring on to talk about everything that the global elites are doing to push back, quash, repress. | ||
| I'm probably being too euphemistic in my characterizations. | ||
| The Ascendant Populist Movement, Marine Le Pen being the latest target of all that. | ||
| I'd love, Mike, if you could just sort of give the audience your kind of overview assessment on what we saw happen, what was it yesterday, two days ago, with what is it, a two-year prison sentence, fines, you name it. | ||
| Yeah, been sentenced to prison. | ||
| This is a, you know, the same sort of charges that they went after Trump with, with the If you remember of the 91 felonies, about 37 of them related to bookkeeping entries for the Stormy Daniels case in Trump's case, and they did a similar thing with EU money with Marine Le Pen. | ||
| But most significantly, she is banned from running in the 2027 election in France because it would cause a disturbance to the Democratic process if she was allowed to run. | ||
| Now significantly Marine Le Pen is eleven points ahead in the current. | ||
| Early opinion polls for the twenty twenty seven election so. | ||
| She is by far the most likely to win the election in the twenty in twenty twenty seven in France. | ||
| Where the election held today and so if you can't ban them I'm sorry can't beat them. | ||
| Then that's basically where we are right now in France- which is the same strategy that. | ||
| The blob, the foreign policy establishment has taken with every major populist party. | ||
| It seems that they can't beat. | ||
| They seek to ban. | ||
| They obviously tried to do that to Trump. | ||
| They're doing that with Bolsonaro, with him under indictment and possibly prison, if the same goes with Marine Le Pen there in Brazil. | ||
| We saw the same thing happen to Imran Khan in Pakistan. | ||
| You saw the same prosecution of Matteo Savini in Italy. | ||
| You saw this happening right now with the AFD party in Germany, where Thierry Breton from the EU Commission has said that we may have to do the same to Germany as we did to Romania. | ||
| What did they do in Romania? | ||
| They cancelled that election as soon as Caelan Giorgiscu, the populist candidate, won the first round. | ||
| They then cancelled the election and then they have put him under criminal indictment where he may soon be in prison as well. | ||
| So what we're seeing right now is basically the culmination of a special project that started off by NATO in the early 1990s when they were seeking to shore up control over Central and Eastern Europe. | ||
| We instituted these rule of law programs, anti-terrorism Corruption programs and sought to actually control the judiciary in the court systems and all these post Soviet countries that were liberated after we won the Cold War. | ||
| And no one really cared in the United States are systems of control over the judiciary and just how crazy it was having the CIA, the State Department, USAID. | ||
| And all the exchange programs between our own judiciary. | ||
| And foreign judiciaries. | ||
| To control. | ||
| Judges and prosecutors in foreign countries course famously we did this in Ukraine as well with Victor Shokin and Joe Biden himself leaning on the- on the Ukrainian government to bribe them with a billion dollar USA loan. | ||
| In order to get rid of their prosecutor when he started sniffing it under Biden. | ||
| But the fact is this has come fully home to roost one thing that I find. | ||
| Utterly fascinating that I learned this week because of a great account on X called listen to learn Because by the researcher he found an incredible clip of Norm Eisen no less than Norm Eisen bragging Recently that while he was the US ambassador to the Czech Republic Meaning the head of the State Department the Czech Republic the former Czechoslovakia That a man you may have heard of by the name of Chief | ||
| Justice John Roberts himself traveled to the Czech Republic to meet with Norm Eisen, not just meet with Norm Eisen, but stay at his home. | ||
| Norm Eisen's 150 room mansion in the Czech Republic at the time. | ||
| John Roberts traveled to the Czech Republic for a week to work on American and EU rule of law issues. | ||
| And Norm Eisen said because of this, He has known John Roberts now for coming up on fifteen years and considers him a close friend. | ||
| And- that to me signifies something very dark about what's happening at the SCOTUS level right now. | ||
| It may help explain why SCOTUS- declined to hear any of the election integrity issues in twenty twenty. | ||
| And has- ruled fairly I would say unfavorably. | ||
| With with Trump in terms of overturning these district court. | ||
| Judges going after Trump here in the U. S. but the fact is is- judiciary is rogue. | ||
| All around in this in this upside down world that we're living in right now. | ||
| And they give the- what I think needs to be done in addition to throwing American weight around by potentially. | ||
| Lessening our commitments to NATO or threatening to leave NATO altogether unless these political prosecutions of populist candidates and opposition leaders around the world ends. | ||
| Why should we be paying for French security when they don't have the same values as us? | ||
| What draws us into this alliance? | ||
| If they don't even allow elections, because that's what this is. | ||
| This is the same as cancelling elections. | ||
| They may as well just have a CCP-style one-party state when the opposition leader can be jailed and banned from running on such thin pretenses, which are so obviously political. | ||
| So the other thing that needs to be done is we need to completely declassify all rule of law programs that USAID, that the CIA, the State Department have been involved in for the past 30 years. | ||
| The fact is what you can find open source is utterly shocking. | ||
| If you go into the USAID archives and you look at these rule of law programs, it's virtually every country on earth. | ||
| We've been playing around in the French elections for coming up on 70 years between the CIA interference in the labor groups in 1950s in France, between the CIA overthrow of Charles de Gaulle effectively and attempted assassinations on Charles de Gaulle in the 1960s. | ||
| Charles de Gaulle is the reason that That NATO is currently in Brussels. | ||
| NATO started off as being in Paris. | ||
| But then Charles de Gaulle had France temporarily leave NATO's integrated military command. | ||
| What is Marine Le Pen running on? | ||
| She announced this previously that if she wins, she wants France to leave NATO's integrated military command. | ||
| Well, that's what led to multiple assassination attempts on Charles de Gaulle and including It says it's been declassified. | ||
| CIA assistance to those groups in the 1960s. | ||
| Well, the CIA is going after Marine Le Pen here as well. | ||
| We've covered this before, but the Atlanta Council with seven CIA directors on its board in 2018 led a whole campaign to stop Marine Le Pen, even put Jack Posobiec and Wikileaks on its front cover of its Defending Democracy Against Disinformation pamphlet. | ||
| about the Macron leaks because they favored Le Pen and they were going after U.S. citizens for supporting Le Pen. | ||
| The Pentagon funded, State Department funded, USAID funded, NAD funded, Atlantic Council. | ||
| So the tentacles go very deep here. | ||
| The last thing I'll say on this on this France issue is the JFK files just revealed something very stunning about our statecraft in France. | ||
| There's an incredible section in the Arthur Schlesinger 15 page memo called CIA reorganization. | ||
| Which talks about how the State Department's political affairs section, which is the State Department's meddling in the internal politics of every country on Earth, that in the political section of the U.S. Embassy in Paris, | ||
| in France, 75% of the State Department staffers in the political section in the U.S. Embassy in Paris We're actually undercover CIA, 75% who said that they were at the State Department doing overt diplomacy. | ||
| We're actually doing covert cloak and dagger political meddling work in France and that the State Department had lost control over its influence on individuals in France because the CIA had dominated and monopolized its contacts, including with the head of the French Parliament, the National Assembly. | ||
| The State Department the ambassador couldn't even make contact with with folks like that because the CIA monopolized it. | ||
| Well if it was 75% of the above of it. | ||
| In you know if there's an independent policy being set by a rogue CIA. | ||
| And now USAID faction. | ||
| In in Paris in the nineteen sixties. | ||
| How much how much is that proportion now and by the way who is the head of the political section of the State Department. | ||
| During the Biden administration, it was no less than Victoria Nuland. | ||
| Mike obviously we follow the money here in the war room And I think the overlap the pattern recognition between the forces that are funding it Abroad and here at home is the variable that we've latched on to to sort of I think make our rather Convincing case that this is all interconnected you bring up the personnel front the agency funding, but bring it home We've only got about two minutes, but how are you seeing this now sort of manifest or metastasize? | ||
| With today's Democratic Party their efforts to sort of resist against Trump 2.0 No. | ||
| Well, we saw that the judges were effectively on the payroll through this clever household technique that's a common technique in money laundering, where you have your wife or your husband or your mother or your father or your sister or son, like in the case of Hunter Biden, as your bagman. | ||
| You saw countless examples of this that were documented. | ||
| On X of judges having their wives or husbands or sons or daughters being an NGO funded by USAID. | ||
| Now with USAID having its funding being cut and USAID moving its function to the State Department. | ||
| It's I think it's imperative that we look as well beyond our borders and look at EU grant making bodies. | ||
| NATO has grants, the EU has grants. | ||
| And this attempt to stop Trump is very much a transatlantic one. | ||
| There is no daylight between the rogue elements within the U.S., the out-of-power elements from the censors in exile to the lawfare mafia from Norm Eisen and Mark Elias and their transatlantic partners. | ||
| Norm Eisen himself was the co-head of something called the Transatlantic Democracy Working Group. | ||
| And that transatlantic funding apparatus, I think, has a role As well, obviously, Soros is another sort of key figure in that map, as is others like Piero Midyar, and Reid Hoffman, and Craig Newmark, and the Knight Foundation, and Ford Foundation, and Carnegie Foundation, and the like. | ||
| But the fact is, is these financial entanglements are something that are already well documented in a Much | ||
| more than just a subcommittee hearing on the judiciary. | ||
| Mike Benz, if people want to follow you, stay up to date with your truly wonderful Ahead of the Curve work, where can they go to do that? | ||

Civil War used to be the stuff of history class or maybe speculative fiction. | |
| But today, scholars of history and political science now openly discuss the possibility of a new American Civil War. | ||
| My next guest, Professor Barbara F. Walter, is an expert on civil wars around the world. | ||
| She has spent years advising the CIA on the subject. | ||
| In her work examining the seeds of civil war in distant lands, she started noticing some of those warning signs close to home, right here in America, long before most others did. | ||
| She's been sounding the alarm about the threat since at least 2008, and her message today is that we should not ignore those warning signs, but also that we can take steps to lessen the threat. | ||
| Now, before she joins us, let's take a minute to dig into her findings. | ||
| Walter's research looked at which countries were most likely to experience political instability and political violence in the coming years. | ||
| Her work identified two key factors as highly predictive, and America checks both boxes. | ||
| The first is anocracy, a term for a weakened democracy that contains elements of autocracy. | ||
| The second is whether citizens have organized politically around identity as opposed to ideology. | ||
| That means they make political choices based on factors like race, ethnicity, or religion. | ||
| Walter's research found that both of these predictive indicators have been rapidly emerging in the United States in recent years. | ||
| She writes that Donald Trump embraced identity politics explicitly and with gusto. | ||
| To quote her, she says, no Republican president in the past 50 years has ever pursued such an openly racist platform or championed white evangelical Americans at the expense of everyone else. | ||
| That's a quote from Barbara Walter. | ||
| For a long time, Walter found it difficult to get people to take her warning seriously until January 6, 2021. | ||
| That is, when Americans started paying closer attention. | ||
| On that day, Trump told his supporters to fight like hell, and they would follow through with armed, sharpened flagpoles and stun guns. | ||
| Most were white, most were men, Walters writes. | ||
| January 6th was the grim outcome of one of the most divisive elections in U.S. history, and yet, somehow it feels as though an even bigger powder keg has been building ever since. | ||
| Crucially, Walter urges us to rethink our assumptions about civil war. | ||
| Not just its possibility, but also what such a war might look like. | ||
| This is disturbing stuff. | ||
| She warns us that civil wars are not typically started by the groups most people expect, the poorest or the most marginalized. | ||
| Instead, they are often ignited by groups that were once politically dominant, but are now in decline. | ||
| Today, the U.S. is undergoing major demographic shifts, transitioning from a majority white Christian nation to a majority non-white population that's expected to happen by 2045. | ||
| This shift means that those who no longer hold a majority of the vote could lose political power. | ||
| According to Walter, a new American civil war would likely be a war. | ||
| I used to think that, well, and this is still true, the simplest and easy way to tamp this down, to reduce the risk of political violence here in this country would be to regulate social media. | ||
| It's such an accelerant in terms of accelerating Americans'distrust of democracy, therefore leading to the demise of democracy. | ||
| It sows division within our country. | ||
| It promotes sort of hate and anger. | ||
| It gets people feeling as if they're threatened all the time, which makes them distrustful of each other. | ||
| I no longer think that's... | ||
| the path forward. | ||
| And that's because the five biggest tech companies in the world, all of which are in the United States, have resisted any sort of regulation in any way. | ||
| They're not even willing to enforce their own content rules. | ||
| So we're not going to get reform on social media anytime soon. | ||
| I increasingly believe that the way forward has to come from the bottom up, that American citizens have to want and love and defend their democracy on their own. | ||
| One of the things we also know from decades of really great scholarship is that protest and peaceful resistance works. | ||
| I mean, I think if you'd asked anybody, would African-Americans, especially in the South, will they ever get full and equal rates of American citizens? | ||
| Most people would have said no, but through through patience. | ||
| And that's enough of that, though, I guess pseudo intellectual and cringe drivel. | ||
| I think quite harrowing and I think this audience needs to pay really close attention to what was said. | ||
| That was MSNBC. | ||
| That was their Sunday shows. | ||
| That's where they set the framework for the narrative, the news cycle next week, next month. | ||
| But what's so interesting about it, right? | ||
| I think there's two key buried leads there. | ||
| First and foremost, this phrase once politically dominant and now in decline. | ||
| And somehow in their weird logic chain, they think it's you guys. | ||
| It's the MAGA movement that's going to start a civil war. | ||
| But that's industrial grade projection. | ||
| If I've ever heard it coming from MSNBC, and make no mistake, I think you guys know very well that we hear that a lot coming from that network, that failing network, shall I add. | ||
| But the other key moment Is where Barbara Walter, the CIA, also I should add January 6th committee advisor for good measure, when she says the quiet part out loud where they are now pivoting from social media regulation, which by the way that only happened because of your valiant effort and President Trump's victory, your willingness to fight back and expose what they did to you. | ||
| That now they're going to pivot to protesting in the streets and civil society, right? | ||
| That's the term that you've kept hearing over and over and over again. | ||
| Except the mask is slipping because there's absolutely nothing civil about Democrats' civil society. | ||
| As we talked about yesterday, people who are studying terrorism and violent conflict are now advising not Democrat activists, but Democrat members of Congress on the most effective way to topple dictator President Trump. | ||
| But there's also nothing societal. | ||
| About Democrats' civil society, right? | ||
| They like to make you think that it's organic, that these communities are just coming together because they just oppose, what, cutting waste, fraud, and abuse? | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| I guess in the style of the World Economic Forum's 15-minute cities, their version of society is a completely astroturfed and bankrolled George Soros, Tides Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, globalist-funded version of society whose raison d'etre and modus operandi is protesting you and hating you and your family. | ||
| And I have to say, I don't think I've ever seen a better or more convincing pitch on what the CIA, the U.S. Agency for International Development's, their color revolution regime change playbook than, well, because President Trump won the election, we're going to pivot our strategy to now fomenting fake protests in the streets. | ||
| Yeah, I think the Middle East and all of Eastern Europe and all of Latin America would probably like a word with you. | ||
| And I frankly extend my critique of civil society out to civil service too. | ||
| It's a bunch of bureaucratic embeds wanting to be the next Eric Chiaramella type whistleblower. | ||
| Make no mistake, what you're seeing from the Democratic Party is a ratcheting up, not just of the stakes, which I know Cory Booker's weird theater kid performance yesterday was absolutely cringe to the max. | ||
| But it shows you the stakes of what they think this whole fight is about, willing to speak for, what, 25 hours. | ||
| But they are engaging in predictive programming in a stochastic terrorist mindset, where they are working overtime to try to depict themselves as agents of nonviolent action and protest, when in reality, to their core, They are engaging and getting ready to move their sort of hybrid warfare tactics into full-blown kinetic warfare, and I think Tesla's would probably agree with me. | ||
| Although I guess maybe if they had what, Trendy Aragua decals on them, then maybe the Democrats would defend them with open arms and try to grant them amnesty. | ||
| But it's quite telling, right? | ||
| Because I guess in the new North-South split, The Democratic Party is most outraged and overwhelmed and thinks that illegal aliens, criminal illegal aliens, rapists, murderers, pedophiles, MS-13, you name it, that they're on their side, | ||
| right? I don't know about you guys, but all the people who are melting down about what is a due process for gang members, where were they on any of the Jam Sixers or any of the MAGA movement or, I don't know, Stephen K. Bannon? | ||
| Right? They were quite silent. | ||
| And I don't see any Democrats, speaking of silence, disavowing any of these Tesla protests. | ||
| A nice nod and a wink, right? | ||
| They're spurring it on. | ||
| And by the way, when you want to talk about who's on whose side, I'm sure you guys saw today that Texas voted to make, I think, May 23rd Pakistan Day. | ||
| Texas, right? | ||
| There's a symbolic, salivating victory that the Democrats love in trying to turn that state blue. | ||
| No, you can't say the Great Reset, but that's what it's all about. | ||
| And by the way, right, that's the same state that they're now trying to build an Islamic city called Epic City, where the only thing that's epic about that is the fact that they essentially want to roll out Sharia law. | ||
| And speaking of Pakistan, the individual who's behind that development, I'll read you a quote from an event that he co-sponsored. | ||
| Quote, the resurgence of Islam can take place from the U.S. That's Pakistan's former president. | ||
| Because I guess the Chinese Communist Party buying up land wasn't enough, hundreds of thousands of acres across this country. | ||
| Now we need special cities that are being built where non-citizens are allowed to buy land for special development projects that are being sponsored by an individual who can't even condemn Hamas, thinks Sharia law is the path forward. | ||
| Sounds like we should definitely let him allow non-citizens to buy land in the United States. | ||
| Right, and then I guess the DNC is busy suing to make sure that what non-citizens can vote in our election and DHS staffers are busy leaking on forthcoming ICE raids. | ||
| But don't call it the enemy within. | ||
| And of all of the enemies that I just listed for you, and I use that word intentionally, the Democrats think that it's you. | ||
| It's MAGA. | ||
| The people who want to stop subsidizing the killing fields of Ukraine and being abused by NATO. | ||
| You're the enemy to them. | ||
| And I guess that's why we welcome what? | ||
| Liberation Day with open arms and if only congressional Republicans would meet the moment and not hold or not even pretend to hold fake subcommittee hearings to try to stop lawfare. | ||
| Let's fight fire with fire. | ||
|

|
We'll be right back after this short break. | |
| Stuff like this, like at all the shelters and stuff. | ||
| But like our company, this is why we try to help people by, you know, providing them with refunds, you know. | ||
| This is Savannah Hernandez in front of the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City. | ||
| Now, we wanted to come check in on the migrant crisis, and as we were walking around, we saw a Jackson Hewitt table out here with an employee who was handing out this flyer. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Now, what this flyer says is, working or not, file your taxes, and we can get the maximum refund for your family. | |
| And the paper says that if you have one child, you can get over $7,000 in a refund. | ||
| And if you have up to three children, you can get over $14,000. | ||
| So the Jackson Hewitt employee who initially handed me this paper, after finding out I was a journalist, took the paper away. | ||
| That's why this one's so dirty, because a migrant ended up giving me another copy. | ||
| And he stated that if he's put on camera and this goes out, that legal will have to get involved. | ||
| We do stuff like this at all the shelters and stuff. | ||
| But our company, this is why we try to help people by providing them with refunds. | ||
| So you guys are trying to help the migrants with their taxes then? | ||
| Yes. To help them get refunds, help them get some money back from the government? | ||
| Can't put my footage. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Actually, you should just take this one because this one has my office information and so therefore legal would have to get involved. | ||
| Okay, so just wanted to give you guys an idea of again what migrants have been told in a New York City now that tax season is coming up. | ||
| They are being given official flyers from Jackson Hewitt themselves on how to file their taxes. | ||
| You know, we have the Trump administration that is currently in office and they have been promising mass deportations, but in sanctuary cities like New York where you've had over 200,000 illegal immigrants make their way to this area. | ||
| The crisis is very much alive and well. | ||
| Now this shelter behind me is actually set to close in June, but you have another shelter that was just opened up in the Bronx with 2,200 beds specifically for single migrant men. | ||
| So the crisis very much alive here in New York City that has already spent seven billion dollars on migrants over the last couple of years. | ||
| Wanted to give you guys an update as of March 2025 where we're currently at with it. | ||
| Yes, tax season is upon us, but only if you're actually an American citizen. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| Liberation Day, we're supposed to feel bad for all these horrible globalist multinational corporations that might take a little hit in their profits so they can continue to suppress and repress MAGA. | ||
| Yeah, not buying it. | ||
| Someone who is always on the front lines exposing all this, honored to have her on the show, is Savannah Hernandez. | ||
| Savannah, that seems like quite the bombshell racket scam, frankly fraud, crime that you exposed. | ||
| Can you sort of walk the audience through from start to finish what you think that illegal alien tax scam looks like? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure, Natalie. | |
| So, first off, the migrant crisis, like I explained in that video, very much alive and well. | ||
| We have watched these federal judges continue to issue injunctions to stop mass deportations, and we have also watched Democrat city mayors refuse to work with ICE, refuse to work with federal immigration law to allow mass deportations to take place. | ||
| So, not only are these Democratic sanctuary states and cities keeping illegals protected, but on top of that, you now have Jackson Hewitt employees that are tabling in front of one of the most popular and well-known migrant hotels in New York City. | ||
| Again, this was the Roosevelt Hotel. | ||
| Now, this has been an epicenter of crime. | ||
| It is one of the, again, hotspots for illegal immigration. | ||
| So, of course, as this guy said in the video, they do this in front of all of the shelters. | ||
| And, you know, again, what I'm thinking is, why is it that illegal immigrants are being coached on how to claim children on their tax refunds? | ||
| How is it that illegal immigrants are even getting tax refunds? | ||
| And, of course, the answer to that question is a mix of both tax fraud and the handing out of these noncitizen social security numbers. | ||
| Now, when I put out this report, it was actually perfect timing because the next day, Elon Musk came out and talked about how in 2024, 2.1 million noncitizen social security numbers were given out. | ||
| And again, migrants are being coached on how they could receive up to $14,000 based on how many children they have. | ||
| I walked into Jackson Hewitt because I wanted to see if they had a past history with tax fraud. | ||
| Funny enough, the DOJ actually sued them back in 2007 because they ended up costing the American taxpayers $70 million via tax fraud. | ||
| So whether it's these illegal immigrants being given non-citizen social security numbers and potentially utilizing those to get tax refunds, or if it's them utilizing tax fraud via fake W-2s, | ||
| I don't Tens of thousands | ||
| of IRS agents were just hired, and if you don't claim the $600 earning that, you know, you made throughout the year, we are going to come after you. | ||
| Meanwhile, illegal immigrants are being coached on tax fraud. | ||
| And Savannah, I'm just curious, in your reporting, do you think that this is something that is, you know, Jackson-Hewitt specific, or how vast do you think this problem is? | ||
| Is it being replicated across companies? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, Natalie, that is a very good question and one that I'm going to be looking into. | |
| What I'm thinking is happening is with these large tax franchises, because let's keep in mind that Jackson Hewitt is the second largest tax preparation service in the U.S., is you have rogue employees that are going and essentially trying to bend and | ||
| twist I'm But | ||
| if anything, this is an example of how long we have been defrauded by illegal immigrants in our country and also the NGOs that are helping them, mind you. | ||
| Savannah, I think our audience strongly appreciates you going and doing actual reporting, certainly no USAID funding involved in that. | ||
| Where can people go to follow you, keep up to date with, I'm sure, all your forthcoming investigations? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, no USAID funding here, so make sure you go follow me on X at Sav underscore Sav, and go follow Frontline's KPUSA as well, because again, it is actual Americans who are funding our reporting. | |
| Thank you so much, Natalie. | ||
| Amazing. Thank you for joining us. | ||
| I'm honored to be joined now by Eric Tietzel of the Center for Renewing America. | ||
| Quite an imprint in Washington, D.C., you guys have. | ||
| But I thought you'd be a quite fitting guest to have on for Liberation Day. | ||
| Now, we'll get into sort of what is undergirding this, the whole economic philosophy theory behind it. | ||
| I think we've certainly seen a sort of concerted effort from big business, Wall Street, multinational corporations, obviously the Chinese Communist Party, which I guess that's a difference without a distinction with the groups I just identified. | ||
| But talk to us about the sort of effort that has been launched to oppose these tariffs and really deceive the American people into thinking that President Trump is, I guess, just roguely pursuing fiscal policy that's going to hurt their bottom line. | ||
| Thanks, Natalie. | ||
| It's great to be here. | ||
| It's great to see you. | ||
| Happy Liberation Day. | ||
| Yeah, it's funny how all of a sudden all of these voices are springing up all saying the same basic thing. | ||
| Anybody who knows anything about Washington understands that that doesn't happen by accident. | ||
| There are these places that create talking points and they funnel them out to their mouthpieces. | ||
| And that is exactly what we've been seeing for the last few days. | ||
| And it's these economists at so-called free market Think tanks, places like the Cato Institute, National Review, Mike Pence's outfit, led by a guy named Joel Griffith, who until about five minutes ago got a paycheck from Kevin Roberts. | ||
| And now he's out there saying, here are my talking points, my Randian version of libertarian economics. | ||
| And anybody who disagrees with me is a moron and a sellout. | ||
| Who doesn't understand the most basic principles of economic theory, when in reality, all this is, is an attempt to do the bidding of the people who write their paychecks. | ||
| There's nothing wrong with that, I suppose. | ||
| You gotta eat. | ||
| But at the end of the day, the important question that people should be asking is, who do these voices work for? | ||
| And the reality is this economy for the last generation has worked pretty well for a select group of people. | ||
| And those people are going to be negatively affected by tariffs. | ||
| It's certainly in comparison to the economy that's been in place for the last 40 or 50 years. | ||
| They don't want it to change. | ||
| But these economists don't work for the vast majority of the American people who Are already experiencing pain. | ||
| They've been experiencing that pain for a very long time. | ||
| The problem is they haven't had a well-funded lobby in Washington, DC, fighting for their interests. | ||
| That is until very recently, when President Trump was ushered into office by them. | ||
| And people like Russ Vought, And our organization and a couple of others and Kevin Roberts, much to his credit, have started to recognize the need to fight for and give voice to the real pain that everyday Americans have been experiencing for a very long time. | ||
| I was gonna say that I think economist may very well be the most misused word in Washington DC because these people are I think economic activists but maybe man woman on the Democratic Party that probably would give it a run for its money but obviously CNN is gonna have on I think they were showing today all these Democrat donor economists trying to dunk on the tariffs but it sort of seems like it's the age-old 2016 you know original Trump debate right Republican establishment for sort of this more new ascendant populist MAGA right can you Yeah, | ||
| their lying eyes, right? | ||
| The idea that tariffs and having the Chinese Communist Party dominate our manufacturing sector is something that's good for them. | ||
| of course. | ||
| I worked at the American Enterprise Institute for several years and literally you have Billionaire hedge fund managers who are funding organizations like that, guys who live in Manhattan, who have famous pieces of art hanging on the wall in their coat closet. | ||
| They aren't worried about the downstream effects of the economic policies that have brought them to that position. | ||
| These are the people who think that meeting a quarterly earnings estimate Is the end all be all for which the economy should exist. | ||
| And that's how we've been living for a generation or more. | ||
| And the reality is that last year we had an election in this country where the Dow Jones Industrial Average was at record highs. | ||
| And yet people, actual American people that you would talk to on the ground would tell you stories like, I just had to tell my daughter we had to sell her Xbox. | ||
| In order to pay the light bill. | ||
| That's what real American people are experiencing. | ||
| The Dow is not the economy. | ||
| And most Americans are not motivated by the day-to-day vagaries of what the stock market is doing. | ||
| They're just looking at their grocery bill. | ||
| They're asking if they're going to be able to put gas in their car right now. | ||
| And that is a direct result of 40 years of Policymaking that has said, you know, the most efficient allocation of scarce resources around the globe should be the thing that we pursue. | ||
| And that works. | ||
| And Eric, if you can hang with us through the break, we got to bounce. | ||
| But I want to drill down on what we should be looking forward to be expecting later today from the president in the Rose Garden. | ||
| But in the meantime, Warren Posse, you got to make sure you're checking out the sponsors that help make this show possible. | ||

Here's your host, Stephen K. Band. | |
| You're back in the war room where of course you got to be checking out birchgold.com slash Bannon or texting Bannon to nine eight nine eight nine eight with all this Turbulence and buckle up because we're only gonna come to expect more of it gold has always been a hedge gold is doing very well Like some stock market elites that Eric Tietzel was just talking about Eric we still got you down the line I think just give us a few minutes on what you think we should expect Yeah, | ||
| I think the president's going to make the case for his economic policy, and he's going to remind Americans that we need a real economy that works for real Americans, people who are concerned about their ability to get a good paying job that allows them to provide for their family and for the community in which they live to flourish. | ||
| To a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail and To an economist with a calculator, everything looks like a math problem. | ||
| But that is not governing, that is not leadership. | ||
| The President of the United States understand that the American people have interests beyond the efficient allocation of goods. | ||
| They're looking for a life, the pursuit of happiness, the ability to flourish because of their own hard work and determination. | ||
| And tariffs were the bedrock Of the American economy for the first 150 years, specifically because our founders understood that we needed to make decisions that led to a to a strong country, not necessarily to the wealthiest, most efficient allocation of resources. | ||
| That's what the president Eric Tietzel, if people want to follow you, keep up to date with everything CRA is doing, where can they go to do so? | ||
| Yeah. Please visit us at our website americarenewing.com and you can find me at Eric Tietzel on X and I'm constantly retweeting all the awesome colleagues that I get to work with so check them out and give them a follow too. | ||
| Thank you so much for joining us and a very happy liberation day to you. | ||
| Same to you, thanks Natalie. | ||
| In the meantime, make sure you're checking out JaceMedical.com slash Bannon talking about not being reliant on Chinese Communist Party-run supply chains. | ||
| That's sort of Jace Medical's modus operandi, the reason why they exist as a company. | ||
| And I would just say, I would just say to all of, I guess, my newfound legacy media colleagues in the briefing room, for all of you who are so apoplectic over what President Trump is trying to do with tariffs, reasserting American sovereignty, Focusing on very geo-strategically important waterways, ports, infrastructure, like the GIUK gap in Greenland, Panama, even Canada. | ||
| The Chinese Communist Party for the last, what, 20 years has been, I guess since their inception, waging war in the form of seizing up, gobbling, buying infrastructure, ports, all the same things that President Trump is accused of doing, with much more nefarious intentions, and they said nothing about it. | ||
| Probably because they were on the payroll and they were supporting it. | ||
| But it just shows you, right? | ||
| The orientation of this country. | ||
| It's not Americans versus everyone else. | ||
| It goes back to what we were talking about with the Civil War stuff. | ||
| Their perception of what it means to be an American is to be a part of the elite ruling class, the people who benefit from free trade. | ||
| It's been a while since we've heard that. | ||
| All the AEI, Cato Institute, lame DC think tank crowd. | ||
| Who have no original ideas except for the billionaire force-fed, astroturfed slop that comes out of their mouth. | ||
| They're on full display right now. | ||
| You can shove that. | ||
| No one cares that you think about the tariffs. | ||
| You take a pay check from the Chinese Communist Party and Wall Street. | ||
| So go shove it. | ||
| Someone who I think knows a little bit about being targeted by all that is none other than Mike Lindell, who joins us now. | ||
| You have some thoughts on what happened last night, but more importantly, or it's equally important, all the new pillow deals, too. | ||
| Right on. | ||
| You know, I'm going to tell everybody I continue to get attacked. | ||
| Why? Because I want secure elections. | ||
| Last night, perfect example. | ||
| Susan Cropper did not win in Wisconsin, and the media can grab that all they want. | ||
| How is it? | ||
| There's a little bit of a deviation here. | ||
| They vote in voter ID, but yet the candidate that doesn't want voter ID wins. | ||
| Hello. It doesn't happen. | ||
| My team's digging into it. | ||
| You guys can check that out. | ||
| Lyndaleplan.com. | ||
| This is just disgusting. | ||
| This is what I fight for. | ||
| Just to follow up, Mike. | ||
| Can you give us a little bit of insight when you say your team is digging into it? | ||
| Do they have any leads? | ||
| Who is investigating it for you? | ||
| No, no, I'm just getting it now. | ||
| Colonel Conrad Reynolds, I work with him, and Will Huff, and many of these guys on my election crime bureau. | ||
| And we're all over this this morning, but I'm just getting the numbers here. | ||
| I'm just getting the numbers. | ||
| Numbers don't lie. | ||
| And if they don't make sense, If they don't make sense, you have to look into it, and they don't make sense. | ||
| She did not win, period. | ||
| She did not win. | ||
| The first flag is they vote in voter ID. | ||
| Here's this raging liberal, and she wins. | ||
| That doesn't want voter ID. | ||
| And so you look at this stuff, we're gonna be all over this and we're gonna just keep reporting it. | ||
| We can't have our elections. | ||
| We can't let the next four years of our great president be in vain because they continue to steal elections, down tickets. | ||
| In this case, this was a really needed seat for the Wisconsin Supreme Court. | ||
| Natalie, the Wisconsin, that was one court that ruled in our favor a couple years ago that there was widespread fraud all over Wisconsin. | ||
| And I'm very disappointed. | ||
| Believe me, we're not going to stop digging. | ||
| And you can all learn more about what we're doing at LyndalePlan.com. | ||
| We're going to be all over this. | ||
| And Mike, the latest on the pillows. | ||
| Oh yeah, you guys, okay, great news for the posse. | ||
