| ...fan of Eric's show back in those days and today. | ||
| Eric, when you went from the Oval down that small hallway to that's the little dining room at the end, you passed what we turned into a reading room. | ||
| That's the Monica Lewinsky Memorial Bill Clinton side office that we hadn't had an exorcism yet, so I was afraid Reince and everybody were afraid to go in there, but that's the Monica. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That little reading room is the Monica Lewinsky Memorial. | |
| Don't touch anything. | ||
| Don't touch the desk. | ||
| All right, see, we'll give it to you, brother. | ||
| I would love to do your idea at some point, man. | ||
| Take it away. | ||
| Eric. No, I'll text you after the show. | ||
| I love the Golf of America idea. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Got it. | |
| Okay, by the way, Golf of America, which was named by, I think that it came up with Kevin Posobiec, right? | ||
| Jack Posobiec's brother? | ||
| At least Kevin Posobiec claims that. | ||
| Golf of America, I love it. | ||
| We have an interesting cold open. | ||
| Our camera crew is getting relocated from the East Room. | ||
| Natalie's going to open the show. | ||
| Let's go ahead and play the cold open. | ||
| Let's go ahead and let her rip. | ||
|

|
There is a trade. | |
| We already have a free trade agreement. | ||
| We have a trade surplus. | ||
| So getting the least bad, why did they get whacked in the first place? | ||
| We're addressing the $1.2 trillion deficit, the largest in human history that President Biden left us with. | ||
| We should be running up the score in Australia. | ||
| Ambassador Greer, answer the question on Australia. | ||
| We have a trade surplus with Australia. | ||
| We have a free trade agreement. | ||
| Why? They are an incredibly important national security partner. | ||
| Why were they whacked with a tariff? | ||
| Senator, despite the agreement, they ban our beef, they ban our pork, they're getting ready to impose measures on our digital companies. | ||
| With your Greek letter formula. | ||
| The fact that we have a trade surplus... | ||
| We have a global tariff on every... | ||
| We're trying to address the $1.2 trillion deficit that Biden left us with, sir. | ||
| I think that answer... | ||
| Sir, you're a much smarter person than that answer. | ||
| The idea that we are going to whack friend and foe alike, and particularly friends, with this level is both... | ||
| I think insulting the Australians undermines our national security and frankly makes us not a good partner going forward. | ||
| The lack of trust from friends and allies based upon this ridiculous policy that goes into full effect at midnight tonight is extraordinary. | ||
| If 700,000 Americans lose their jobs, will the Trump administration suspend these tariffs? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Senator, I think the The economists who are making these projections, who often are in favor of fully unfettered free trade, are the same ones you said in the first Trump term. | |
| Mr. Greer, let me just stop you there. | ||
| I'm not asking about projections. | ||
| I'm asking if the numbers show that 700,000 people have lost their jobs because of these new tariffs that Trump has slapped on. | ||
| Will the administration reverse course and lift those tariffs? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Senator, that's not going to happen. | |
| We've lost 5 million manufacturing jobs over the years, which is the number I'm most worried about, and we have to get those jobs back. | ||
| So I take that as a no. | ||
| Let me try another one. | ||
| Moody's says that if the Trump tariffs remain in place, we will definitely plunge into a recession, which will ultimately cost 3.5 million Americans their jobs. | ||
| So, Ambassador Greer, If Trump's tariffs push 3.5 million people out of work, will the Trump administration reverse course and lift those tariffs? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Senator, the Wall Street analysts are wrong. | |
| They never want to have any kind of change to the status quo. | ||
| I'm not asking if they're right or wrong. | ||
| But that's who you're quoting to me, Senator. | ||
| I'm giving you a number. | ||
| If Trump tariffs push workers out of their jobs and raise prices, as Fed Chair Powell has predicted, Will you reverse course then? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think also with respect to Chairman Powell, who I don't know personally, but I know the president makes decisions on trade and he rarely takes advice from Chairman Powell on this. | |
| We found in Trump 1 that you could put tariffs on China and you could make it work and have lower income, sorry, lower unemployment, lower in inflation, and increase real median household income over time as we reshore. | ||
| And that's what we have to do, Senator. | ||
| What I'm hearing you say is that no one can hear. | ||
| A rhyme or reason to why the tariffs are off again, on again, off again, on again. | ||
| But what you're telling us is the fact that hundreds of thousands, even millions of people could lose their jobs and that prices could go up will not be a factor for you or for Donald Trump for rolling those tariffs back. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We just had Liberation Day, but many Americans are concerned. | |
| That prices are going to go up and tariffs... | ||
| Okay, stop. | ||
| The only reason people have any concern at all is because the running dog for the capitalists on Wall Street and the lords of easy money, media, continues to go on with this false narrative that prices are going up, stock market's going to crash, everything's going to happen over and over and over again without looking at any evidence. | ||
| We put some of the strictest tariffs ever on China in 17 and 18 and prices didn't go up at all. | ||
| On Chinese product. | ||
| This is just a false, another false narrative put out by the media. | ||
| It's the same as all the lies they told about the pandemic, all the lies they told about the Ukraine, all the lies they told about the Seoul election. | ||
| I could go on and on and on. | ||
| The only people who worked up about it, did the market crash today? | ||
| No, it did not. | ||
| You have a sorting out of things. | ||
| I didn't say there was not going to be any turbulence. | ||
| Didn't have any crash. | ||
| Didn't have gold blow through the roof. | ||
| Nothing that was prophesied. | ||
| And look, Trump went hard. | ||
| And it shows you, I think, to the world, he's not a maximalist. | ||
| I was always for the reciprocity. | ||
| But the reciprocity has a maximalist side where you just go and match whatever your analysis shows. | ||
| He was also thinking there was tension around with President Trump to just do tiered at 20%. | ||
| He did do reciprocity, which I thought was very important to show the American people. | ||
| How people have abused the United States of America and American companies. | ||
| President Trump said, Mr. Greer, that he had no choice in terms of Canada. | ||
| And I live 50 miles away from the Canadian border. | ||
| He had no choice but to bypass Congress and to impose an emergency 25% tariff on Canada to stop, quote, the massive, end quote, amount of fentanyl, end quote, the millions and millions of undocumented immigrants coming from the northern border. | ||
| Unfortunately, that's a lie. | ||
| The truth is that the U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported just 43 pounds of fentanyl was seized at the Canadian border last year, representing just two-tenths of one percent of the total. | ||
| Further, he said among, he talked about millions and millions of undocumented immigrants coming from Canada. | ||
| In fact, last year there were 24,000 people, not millions and millions. | ||
| First question, really, we can argue about tariffs. | ||
| But why does the President have to lie all of the time in order to make his point? | ||
|
unidentified
|
So, Senator, I would just refute that when the President is talking about the nature of the emergency we have. | |
| Could you talk a little bit closer to the mic, please? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Certainly. Senator, I would just say, you know, I think you need to look at what the President issued in terms of the order for the legal basis for what we're doing, right? | |
| I mean, the President very rightly hit on this issue of fentanyl migration coming from northern and southern borders, and it's a real emergency. | ||
| Drugs are a real emergency. | ||
| Two-tenths of one percent. | ||
| You can then argue drugs, illegal drugs, come from every country in the world. | ||
| If you declare that as an emergency, you're giving the President of the United States unbelievable power. | ||
| The Democrats' Green News scam killed jobs and sent prices soaring here in America. | ||
| But meanwhile, China opened two coal plants every single week, and other countries likewise went very strongly back into coal. | ||
| Some of them never got off. | ||
| Those are the ones that didn't have the problems. | ||
| The Biden energy policy was to put America last. | ||
| We want to be last. | ||
| We got to be last. | ||
| Not a good policy. | ||
| Under my administration, we're putting America first. | ||
| It's very simple. | ||
| America's always going to be first. | ||
| On my first day in office, I terminated the Green News scam. | ||
| I declared the national energy emergency and withdrew from the unfair one-sided and extremely costly to the United States-only Paris Climate Accord. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Thank you. | ||
| This scenario, the decision maker who decided the a la prima approach, who has obviously had to have spent time anticipating what we saw in the markets and some of the pushback, I'm assuming this all got gamed out, because it's a novel approach, it needed to be thought out. | ||
| Whose throat do I get to choke if this proves to be wrong? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, Senator, you can certainly always talk to me. | |
| But are you at the tip of the spear? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I'm at the tip of the spear, certainly. | |
| Did you propose the a la prima approach? | ||
|
unidentified
|
So, first of all, I would push back, Senator, just a little bit on this. | |
| For now, we've excluded pharmaceuticals and semiconductors to take a different kind of approach. | ||
| And we've excluded U.S. So it just seems like I'm getting my head around the Alaprima approach. | ||
| I'm not condemning it because I'm not a trade expert, but I still, at some point, and I understand that you are the trade rep, so if you own this decision, then I'll look to you to figure out if we're going to be successful. | ||
| If you don't on the decision, I'm just trying to figure out whose throat I get to choke if it's wrong and who I put up on a platform and thank them for the novel approach that was successful if they're right. | ||
| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
| Pray for our enemies. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because we're going medieval on these people. | |
| I got a free shot on all these networks lying about the people. | ||
| The people have had a belly full of it. | ||
| I know you don't like hearing that. | ||
| I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
| It's going to happen. | ||
| And where do people like that go to share the big lie? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mega media. | |
| I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? | |
| If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. | ||

War Room. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bann. | ||
| It's Tuesday, 8 April, Year of Our Lord 2025, a wild day on markets throughout the world. | ||
| Market finished up a little bit down today at the end. | ||
| Gold had a slight down movement, 10-year treasury, slight uptick, kind of a mixed day on Wall Street, but not the catastrophe that the left is trying to push us into. | ||
| Of course, President Trump going full energy, full spectrum energy dominance there with clean coal. | ||
| Also, a lot of stuff coming out of the Supreme Court. | ||
| So on the battlefronts of Trump's second term. | ||
| We're engaged on everything. | ||
| Mike Davis is at the White House right now. | ||
| I believe he may even be talking to the president or to the staff, and he's going to come and join us in a little while. | ||
| I want to go to Natalie Winters. | ||
| Natalie, first off, you followed this for a long time, particularly the Chinese Communist Party, taking it on the chops. | ||
| At midnight tonight, ma'am, 104% tariff kicks in. | ||
| Xi and the Chinese are not too happy about that. | ||
| Your thoughts? | ||
| Well, a wonderful America First day here at the White House. | ||
| I think we're going to have some of the coal workers who are just on stage with President Trump joining us shortly. | ||
| But you're so right to frame it this way. | ||
| This is an absolutely horrific day for the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| And I don't know about you, Steve, but I don't even think that we have to cite Chapter Inverse, War Room, or any of the reporting that I've done for years. | ||
| I think we should cite what is it? | ||
| probably all the neocons up on Capitol Hill who love to use the China threat, right, to justify the ever expanding and ballooning trillion dollar defense budget. | ||
| Or maybe the Democrats who say that the reason that we have to continue hemorrhaging, what is it, hundreds of billions of dollars to Ukraine is so we can, you know, defend against the Chinese Communist Party by extension. | ||
| Well, those people, I think, have made the case as to why we need to have these tariffs, why we need to reorient the entire global manufacturing and trade system. | ||
| And I think that the White House has effectively been pushing back this idea that, oh, well, why are we putting tariffs on, you know, islands with penguins? | ||
| own their manufacturing sectors, which you know is exactly how they skirted sort of the Phase 1 deal. | ||
| It's why it was sort of watered down, right? | ||
| just outsourced their manufacturing to Vietnam and to Mexico. | ||
| That's why these tariffs are so essential. | ||
| And by the way, Steve, and I'm sure the audience We can spend trillions of tax dollars in USAID, global government, globalist institutions. | ||
| But I guess a few days of now, what we're seeing, not really all that bad stock market losses. | ||
| This is the first day where a sitting president put America's working class first. | ||
| Over the heavily invested Wall Street elite, and it's a glorious day to be standing here at the White House and to be able to say that and bring that to you. | ||
| It's a glorious day. | ||
| Natalie, hang on. | ||
| We're taking a short commercial break. | ||
| I'm going to ask you, and I want your answer on the other side. | ||
| The Democrats say, particularly people who say they're populist, like... | ||
| Focahontas, Elizabeth Warren, and Bernie Sanders, the faux populace, they were absolutely trying to tear Jameson Greer apart. | ||
| Jameson Greer gave as good as he got in his own gentlemanly way. | ||
| ...up there in front of the Senate Finance Committee, and they torn him. | ||
| The people in the Democratic Party said they're the biggest populist. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| Natalie Winders is live at the White House. | ||
| Hopefully gets some coal workers, and she's got some color revolution resistance. | ||
| Rachel Maddow's going crazy. | ||
| Half her show every night is full screen. | ||
| Everything is going around the country, the whole revolt. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| Back in the warm in just a moment. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think you changed already. | |
| You went and lost your pride. | ||
| But I'm American made. | ||
| I got American part. | ||
| I got American faith. | ||
| In America. | ||
| War Room. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Band. | ||
| Okay. Natalie has one of the great co-workers with her. | ||
| Natalie, I'm going to toss it to you and let it rip, ma'am. | ||
| Thank you, Steve. | ||
| I'm honored to be joined by Zach Erteljack. | ||
| Did I get that right? | ||
| There you go, who is coming at us from Pennsylvania. | ||
| It's your first time at the White House. | ||
| Before we get into the wonderful executive orders that President Trump signed today, why are you here? | ||
| Why did you want to come to today's event? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, we wanted to come to support what President Trump's going to do for us. | |
| You go through your career here as a coal miner in a country where 99% of the people actually don't know where their electricity comes from and what people have to do to provide natural resources to the American people. | ||
| And I don't know how long you have worked being a coal miner, but from your perspective, I see your wonderful MAGA hard hat. | ||
| Is President Trump the only first, from your perspective, president who has actually treated you guys with the dignity and respect that your industry deserves? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, absolutely. | |
| So I started my career under the Obama administration. | ||
| And it's just been a struggle from the day one when I got into the industry with policy from the federal government. | ||
| And it always left you with an unsettling feeling until... | ||
| President Trump's first term, and now with his second, we're very excited that he's in office and we have his support. | ||
| And in terms of the threats or accusations that they've hurled against your industry, yes, Steve? | ||
| Go ahead. | ||
| Yeah. Can you ask him why why clean coal is an answer? | ||
| I mean, President Trump's gone on a limb here and said clean coal is one of the answers for the energy needs of the United States. | ||
| Can you ask, Zach, why clean coal? | ||
| What's been different and why clean coal is an answer now in the 21st century? | ||
| Why is clean coal now the answer for the 21st century? | ||
|
unidentified
|
So it's been clean for a while, but what this does for America It brings competition back into the energy sector. | |
| So that means lower prices for Americans on their electric bill month to month. | ||
| So when I first started in the industry, we were producing about 48% of the nation's electricity, and now that's down to 16%. | ||
| So if it keeps dwindling down, we're going to be relying on very few energy sources, which means then the energy companies can name their price month to month on what you pay for electricity. | ||
| So the big thing is capitalism, as Trump always loves to go to and bring competition into the energy sector. | ||
| And when you see Democrats or climate change activists really lobbying hard against you guys, what do you think is motivating that? | ||
| In other words, you know, American energy independence is a direct threat to the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| There's a lot of much more powerful forces, right, than just Democratic Party politics. | ||
| What do you think is really pushing people to oppose, really, your livelihood and how you support your family? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think ignorance to how people's energy gets to their house. | |
| They truly don't understand where power comes from and what people have to do, coal miners in general, have to do to produce the product we do to get it to power plants and to produce electricity. | ||
| I think it's just sheer ignorance on how the world operates. | ||
| And you hear a lot of discussion now coming predominantly from the left side of the aisle saying how that they're, you know, hardcore populists, right? | ||
| They want to support the working class, the working Americans. | ||
| With what you do, that's something that is essentially an existential threat, or I guess the policies that they would propose to your, you know, ability to make an income, your ability to... | ||
| Mind clean coal. | ||
| What would you say to left-wing populists who seem to be flying first class to their rallies, but they want to shut down your industry? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, so the hypocrisy that comes from the left, it's unmatched because they don't understand. | |
| If you really wanted to take a stand, turn your power off to your house, turn your laptop off, turn your phone off, get rid of everything. | ||
| That takes fossil fuels to operate. | ||
| Or that has fossil fuels as a byproduct in it. | ||
| Until then, you know, sure, we need to find alternative ways of energy. | ||
| And I'm all for that. | ||
| But we're not there yet as a country. | ||
| So until we do get there, we need to utilize all the natural resources we have to keep low-cost energy prices to the American people. | ||
| And Steve, you let me know when we've got to bounce. | ||
| I don't have a clock. | ||
| But just walk us through how revolutionary what President Trump did today was, not just for the American economy, but especially for your livelihood, for your ability to mine clean coal. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's opportunity. | |
| What he's done today is now not just gave... | ||
| All the employees at my company and every other coal company in America, he's keeping the legacy of coal going for other generations to come. | ||
| So when my kids, if they ever want to get into the industry, they might have a place to go to be able to provide for their families. | ||
| So he's keeping a long legacy of hardworking Americans in a set industry. | ||
| He's keeping us going. | ||
| And we often hear that a lot of jobs like yours, oh, those are jobs that Americans don't want to do, right? | ||
| That's why we need to import, essentially, the third world or massive amounts of immigrants, legal and illegal. | ||
| What would your message be? | ||
| I think you hear it predominantly from sort of elitists in both parties, but that your jobs, people who are actually working with their hands, doing real, hardcore manual labor, that we don't need to import an entire new class of people into this country to do that. | ||
| That you and your family, your children, you would love nothing more, I'm sure, than for them to be involved. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So, if you ever want to know... | |
| About a coal miner, just go talk to them. | ||
| They love what they do. | ||
| They love to talk and brag about the work that they do. | ||
| And, you know, the work we are doing today, and again goes back to the ignorance of people who don't actually know what coal mining is about, is one of the most highly technological industries out there right now. | ||
| The technology with computers, equipment, massive equipment underground and what people have to go through underground to haul and assemble that equipment for the extraction of coal, it's unmatched and it's unfortunate that more Americans can't see what we do. | ||
| And I just have to ask, do you wear this hat when you are working, actually? | ||
| Yes, I can. | ||
| Take that, climate change activists. | ||
| One more time. | ||
| Zach Earl, Jack here from Pennsylvania. | ||
| I see a bunch of other people that you were here with, but only you were brave enough to come on the War Room. | ||
| Maybe you don't want to share your social media, but we always ask all of our guests where people want to follow them, stay up to date. | ||
| You should come on the War Room more often, but how can people... | ||
| Paul, you stay in touch if you want to do so. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, first, if you ever want to invite me back, I'd be more than happy to come to the War Room. | |
| But I'm not a big social media guy. | ||
| I do have accounts, but I don't post anything. | ||
| I like to keep up. | ||
| You're Twittering on, is what I'm hearing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I like to get my news from different sources, and social media is one of them. | |
| Yeah, so I'm not very heavily involved in social media. | ||
| Power to you. | ||
| Too busy letting us be able to turn our lights on. | ||
| Thank you so much for coming on War Room and for everything you do for this country. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you for having me. | |
| Thank you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Fantastic interview. | |
| Natalie, I want to go while we still got you. | ||
| We're going to play in the next segment. | ||
| We're going to play in the next segment this situation with USAID and the color revolution. | ||
| But I've got to ask you, right there you heard from a working man in this country how the Democrats have kind of abandoned them. | ||
| Give me your feedback. | ||
| Focahannas and Bernie Sanders went after Jameson Greer, the U.S. trade rep today. | ||
| He was the deputy for Lighthizer. | ||
| In the first term. | ||
| I mean, this guy knows President Trump's program backwards and forwards, and he's such a gentleman that, you know, he didn't raise his voice, he just kind of took it. | ||
| But what do you think about Democrats? | ||
| They're supposed to be the most populist. | ||
| They try to be economic nationalists. | ||
| They didn't really talk about bringing jobs back. | ||
| They just attacked, attacked, attacked President Trump's trade war and his tariff plan. | ||
| Ma'am? | ||
| Well, Steve, I've buried the lead on today's show because CNN has been following me around all day. | ||
| So just imagine CNN having to witness that exchange. | ||
| I also interviewed with them earlier today. | ||
| But all that aside, I think today really shows you the mask has dropped on the so-called populist left. | ||
| We know that it fell whenever they talk about immigration, legal and illegal. | ||
| But the only thing that they seem to care about right now is the stock market. | ||
| Now, I know we've said these statistics, but they're worth hammering over and over again. | ||
| The top 10 percent own 93 percent of all stocks. | ||
| And I know that might make me sound like some crazy left wing person. | ||
| But what it means is that the American working class has never actually had a president who was willing to put them first. | ||
| And I think, Steve, if you look back, especially the last four years, can you tell me, give me one single damn day in the presidency of Joe Biden where he did anything? | ||
| The bottom 50% of America's working class instead of the top 1% or 10%. | ||
| You can't. | ||
| And I think you're seeing that legacy be continued on by people who like to talk tough about tariffs and defending the working class. | ||
| But you know what, Steve? | ||
| For all of the speeches and tweets that people like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren have put out in defense of America's working class, I'll even quote Nancy Pelosi and a bunch of Democratic leaders on the efficacy of tariffs. | ||
| None of them ever had the guts to. | ||
| Because you know why? | ||
| They're all part of a uniparty elite class who they think that they can distract you by just saying the T word and saying, oh, we gotta take on China so much so that we have to have a trillion dollar defense budget turned deficit, but they never actually do anything when the time comes, let alone holding the line. | ||
| And President Trump actually did that. | ||
| So take your populist talking points, Bernie Sanders, and shove it just like you did when the coke money started hitting and you didn't care about open borders anymore. | ||
| Natalie, hang on for one second. | ||
| We're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| I want a notification to you that a federal court has ruled that the Associated Press that the ban on the Associated Press regarding the Gulf of America, what I talked to Eric about in the last... | ||
| A segment is unconstitutional. | ||
| I'm sure we'll be fighting that over the days and weeks ahead. | ||
| The color revolution, the resistance, the other aspect line of attack on President Trump and his policies geared up big time. | ||
| Natalie's going to stick around for another segment or take a short commercial break. | ||
| Modern Day Holy War takes you out. | ||
| We're going to be back in just a moment. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Open your eyes, no time to be blind. | |
| Open your mind to see. | ||
| We're in a modern day. | ||
| Holy war. | ||
| Coming after your mind. | ||
| Divide your soul. | ||
| Oh, oh, it's true. | ||
| Modern day. | ||
| Some people, the critique comes from people suggesting that the resistance wasn't able to consolidate power and move the country into a more pro-democratic frame of mind over the long term. | ||
| This is not unique to the United States. | ||
| Actually, over the last many number of years, this is something that was almost universal. | ||
| And a lot of the so-called like color revolutions or people power movements of the last 15 years, where you see in Egypt in 2011, there's a strong what you would call negative coalition trying to get Morsi out after in Tunisia, they're getting Ben Ali out. | ||
| And that's a strong negative coalition of like, throw the guy out. | ||
| And you could argue that that was what was going on in the fall of 2020. | ||
| Just throw the guy out, right? | ||
| And protect the results. | ||
| And then what happens is that if it doesn't actually transfer into something that's more of a positive coalition, which is, and here is an amazing and totally attractive and irresistible vision for the future of the country that is going to bring people along, that it just makes the short-term victory extremely fragile and vulnerable to what effectively is a counter-revolution. | ||
| or a return to the ASEAN regime. | ||
| So this happened in Egypt in 2013. | ||
| It happened in Tunisia in 2022. | ||
| Sudan had a big breakthrough moment in 2019. | ||
| Same thing happens in 2020. | ||
| So, you know, those are more extreme examples. | ||
| What happened in the United States was a coup attempt that was thwarted by a pro-democratic coalition. | ||
| And the sort of project of Bidenomics, I think, was trying to express that positive coalition, and it didn't sell, or it didn't work somehow. | ||
| Okay, Natalie, help me out here. | ||
| And maybe we do this later in the week, also from your studio. | ||
| I'm confused. | ||
| They're saying that our attempt to stop the steal in 2020 was a coup attempt, and this falls into their whole color revolution doctrine now, ma'am? | ||
| So just to sort of set the stage on what you just watched, that is a, I was going to say chick, but goes by they, them pronouns, Erica Chenoweth, who was hosting, co-hosting an event with Steven Levitsky, who's someone that we've talked about sort of coining the idea of this democratic backsliding or autocratic breakthrough. | ||
| But this is part of that Resistance Lab training. | ||
| This was an official event hosted by the Harvard Ash Center's Center for Nonviolent Protest, which is the official partner of Representative Pramila Jayapal's Resistance Lab group. | ||
| And in that whole sort of I think diatribe, where they're going off on color revolutions. | ||
| This is coming on the heels of the reporting that we were breaking on this show, which is that this, again, Democratic member of Congress partnered organization and entity that is working on training protesters, training anti-Trump, anti-Tesla protesters, that they're funded by USAID, they're funded by the State Department, despite their best efforts to delete their webpages, proving that exactly, but they're using Using words, I mean, that was essentially a Rachel Maddow opening, right? | ||
| The way they're talking about color revolutions, autocratic breakthrough, democratic backsliding, all of this. | ||
| I mean, that's really quite a bombshell clip, I think, very vindicating and validating to the paradigm through which we viewed a lot of these protests. | ||
| No, and this is one of the things they're trying to gin up. | ||
| They got the courts with the judges. | ||
| They now have Leonard Leo and Koch jumping in the courts on trade. | ||
| And the courts have worked in France, in Brazil, in South Korea. | ||
| They're trying to get it here to President Trump. | ||
| It obviously worked on us trying to stop the steal. | ||
| ... | ||
| We've also got political now. | ||
| Tom Tillerson, guys, up there. | ||
| You've got seven Republicans teaming up with the Democrats to try to get some political momentum. | ||
| But this is still, I think, one of the most important. | ||
| Chenoweth is getting to be a bigger and bigger player. | ||
| Are you telling me she's actually paid by Harvard or through USA money going to Harvard? | ||
| And I hope that somebody gets to President Trump's team and tell him on the shutdown of Harvard, the money going to Harvard, that this lab ought to be shut down. | ||
| Man. | ||
| Well, I raise you this. | ||
| Erica Chenoweth is the director of that Harvard Ash Center's Center for Nonviolent Protest, which not only is that stochastic terrorism, I think that's projection if I've ever heard it, but this individual is not just receiving funds, you know, by proxy or through a bunch of weird webs of financing. | ||
| This center is explicitly funded on their website by USAID and the State Department, but Chenoweth herself has received countless grants from USAID and also the United States Institute of Peace. | ||
| She's lectured, believe it or not, at USAID in 2015, 2016, and 2022 via Zoom on LGBTQ plus protest training. | ||
| And she was actually a consultant at the United States Institute of Peace from 2017, 2017. | ||
| To 2019. | ||
| But I think the important thing, too, to really stress to the audience is that this is not just run-of-the-mill. | ||
| Political organizing, community organizing, or anything in the realm of actual democratic protest or grassroots organizing. | ||
| This is someone whose entire career has been dedicated to studying the interplay between violent protests, nonviolent protests, and actual acts of terrorism, writing articles and papers about how to topple dictators. | ||
| So the fact that they're weaponizing This individual against President Trump shows you not just the stakes through which they're operating with, but the paradigm and matrix through which they are engaging and trying to oppose President Trump. | ||
| Last thing, too, I've noticed on Rachel Madder, in fact, I think even Media Matters picked it up today, she's going to the full screen. | ||
| She gets so worked up on her show, on every little protest around the country, she now has a full screen with like 20 to 50. Is she getting crazier and crazier every day? | ||
| They're trying to gin up hysteria among the defeated Democratic base, are they not? | ||
| She's kind of gone over the top on this now. | ||
| Well, is that a rhetorical question? | ||
| Yes, of course. | ||
| I think she debuted. | ||
| It was for the first time ever on her show last week. | ||
| And we do have the clip, what she called the 20 box. | ||
| You know, we usually do a two box. | ||
| But this was a 20 protest split screen. | ||
| And she even went out of her way. | ||
| It wasn't like they just did it. | ||
| She said, this is the first time ever in our show's history that we're doing a 20 box. | ||
| So the point is they're making a point to jam at home, to hammer their audience, to show up to these protests. | ||
| Steve, I went to the protest, the big protest on Saturday. | ||
| There were sort of two concurrent ones. | ||
| There was more of the like Gaza, Hamas, though a lot of transgender people there try to square that. | ||
| There's that one. | ||
| And then closer to the mall, there was the, you know, Trump is a dictator. | ||
| We really hate Doge cohort of people. | ||
| But yeah, you're exactly right. | ||
| But Steve, it's not like this is just some random strategy. | ||
| It all goes back to the fact that they lost the House, they lost the Senate, they lost the presidency, so they can't impeach President Trump. | ||
| So they're now adjusting the pie to increase street protesters because it's their only source of leverage. | ||
| And the judges and the media. | ||
| But their shock troops, I guess, need some target to be weaponized against. | ||
| Natalie, where do people go to get... | ||
| You're putting up great stuff on social media all the time. | ||
| Where do people go? | ||
| Natalie G. Winters on all platforms. | ||
| Thank you, as always, for having me. | ||
| And get ready for the AP reporter to be back into the press briefings now that at least the lower court has ruled it was unconstitutional about Gulf of America. | ||
| So, thank you. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| My lovely colleagues. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Love them. | |
| Thank you. | ||
| Thank you, ma'am. | ||
| Appreciate you. | ||
| Natalie Winters. | ||
| So today, Real America's Voice, great coverage from the East Room on coal. | ||
| And Natalie, thank you for getting the coal miner there. | ||
| I realize a lot of them may be, hey, don't know about this, about TV, who you can trust. | ||
| But it was a fantastic interview right there, right from the heart. | ||
| And I think with President Trump, just to go back to what I was saying about Eric Bolling, President Trump's theory of the case is pretty simple. | ||
| He wants full-spectrum energy dominance. | ||
| Like the alternatives, you know, he's not a huge name in wind, but solar, hydroelectric, all others, even wind to a degree, he's prepared to give anything a shot. | ||
| But he's going to take the shackles off the American energy industry because he understands in driving down the cost of energy, that's the foundation for an industrial power. | ||
| When you talk about this Russian rapprochement that President Witkoff and President Trump are working on, And one aspect of that I think you're seeing pop up already is President Trump or Witkoff is going to have high-level discussions with the Persians on Saturday to kind of put to bed and let's get a diplomatic solution or some sort of work through about this nuclear program. | ||
| Particularly the nuclear weapon aspect of that. | ||
| Witkoff and President Trump, when they talk about Russia, I think the foundational element of that will be a huge, massive energy deal. | ||
| Russia's energy was being used by By the West. | ||
| It still was even in the war when they gave us all the happy talk. | ||
| They're not going to do it. | ||
| They're not going to do it. | ||
| I mean, Germany would fall into a non-industrial power. | ||
| They're almost doing that anyways. | ||
| Dave Walsh. | ||
| has laid out so many times. | ||
| But the foundation of that will be an energy deal that I think will benefit the folks in Western Europe. | ||
| And President Trump is adamant about energy. | ||
| That's what I told Eric Bolling. | ||
| Eric says, hey, it's a lot of stuff on natural gas. | ||
| Well, hey, Pennsylvania alone, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania alone is the Saudi Arabia of natural gas. | ||
| That's one of the reasons it's so important for President Trump when he returned as president to make sure we can take the shackles off. | ||
| Of these energy providers. | ||
| And right now you can see the cost of energy is coming down and the rate of inflation is going to come down. | ||
| Okay? Based upon that. | ||
| President Trump in a full-on fight for the trade deal. | ||
| At midnight to night, eastern daylight time, the tariffs go on the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| And right there, there's a huge throwdown. | ||
| I'm not so sure how much communication there is. | ||
| The rest of the nations of the earth have a very strong communication. | ||
| They're stacked up. | ||
| Scott Besson was just on television earlier this afternoon. | ||
| I believe Scott, the Secretary of Treasury, your former contributor here at The Worm, I think Scott said that there were over 70 trading partners that are trying to schedule meetings or put forward proposals. | ||
| One thing for you to think about is gold as a store of value. | ||
| Remember, I've told you over and over again, we're going to go through turbulent times. | ||
| It's going to be geopolitically turbulent. | ||
| The world's going to be turbulent. | ||
| President Trump's making massive changes. | ||
| There's huge pushback. | ||
| We also already started the kinetic part of the Third World War from Ukraine to the Middle East to the Red Sea. | ||
| Let's hope and pray that it doesn't extend out to the... | ||
| To Taiwan and in the South China Sea. | ||
| President Trump is trying to bring peace and with peace he'll bring prosperity. | ||
| What you should know is why has gold been a store of value and why has it been a hedge against times of turbulence for 5,000 years of man's history? | ||
| Birch Gold is the company to assist you in doing that and also if you think it through and you want to own physical gold, they're your best partner. | ||
| How do you find out about it? | ||
| Number one, take your phone out. | ||
| This is very simple. | ||

| They kind of lay it all out there and you can start to build a direct relationship. | ||
| With Philip Patrick and his team. | ||
| In addition, we've got the end of the dollar empire. | ||
| Remember, the debate's going to take place at 7 o'clock tonight. | ||
| I think we're trying to get Jim Rickards to do a little pregame if we can. | ||
| Maybe, potentially. | ||
| And there will be Spencer Morris and Peter Schiff on tonight at 7 on Zero Hedge. | ||
| We're going to try to carry that. | ||
| We're going to do a little pregame at 6 o'clock. | ||
| But Rickards and everybody, even Peter Schiff will tell you, gold has been a hedge against times of turbulence. | ||
| And turbulence as we have right now. | ||

| Short break. | ||

| Okay, Mike's recovering from another throat operation. | ||
| Promises me this is the last one. | ||
| It's been four, so I'm getting a little worried about Mike Lindell. | ||
| Mike is under constant pressure all the time, particularly up there in Minnesota. | ||
| We have a special treat when we come back in the 6 o'clock hour. | ||
| Our own Mike Davis of Article 3. | ||
| The vice-rory is actually at the White House, and we're going to play. | ||
| We've got a cold open with him. | ||
| So much has happened today on the legal side, and that's why I want to start off the 6 o'clock hour, play these clips that we've got from mainstream media, and then bring Mike Davis in because additional things have happened. | ||
| If you go back, let's just reset for a second. | ||
| As President Trump is fighting this enormous trade war, And really reorganizing the world trading network to benefit American workers and to benefit the United States of America and to put America first and her citizens first and her workers first. | ||
| The resistance on this is incredible, but you're seeing the resistance on Wall Street and among the tech bros is one thing. | ||
| The nations of the world are stacked up like nobody else. | ||
| And by the way, tell me when we got that last special clip ready to go. | ||
| We have a very special clip of a new delegation that's arrived in Washington, D.C. to actually talk to Peter Navarro and Secretary of Treasury Scott Besant. | ||
| Also, but at the same time, the courts, they are all over the courts. | ||
| They see a way because they've looked at France, they've looked at Brazil, they're looking at South Korea with the coup there. | ||
| These folks understand this kind of radical judiciary that I think if you look at them, all kind of think alike. | ||
| They're a little bit neo-Marxist, and they've got an attitude of judicial supremacy. | ||
| They think they're going to be able to shut it down with that. | ||
| Also, you have this now political movement. | ||
| Tom Tillerson, some Republicans are up there, you know. | ||
| Messing around with President Trump and signing up with the Democrats. | ||
| Okay, we have a short clip right here before we go out, and we're going to come back at 6 o'clock at the top of the hour, the second hour of the show, with Mike Davis, live from the White House. | ||
| A bunch of clips we want to say and get Mike Davis' opinion of these. | ||
| This is the latest delegation that's just arrived in Washington, D.C. Let's go ahead. | ||
| We've got some B-roll. | ||
| Let's go and play it. | ||
| Okay, we got it, guys. | ||
| Thanks. There it is right there. | ||
| Don't trust the penguins, right? | ||
| One of the reasons they're doing this is they're trying to make sure that there's no way they can have safe haven for... | ||
| For money laundering or safe haven for counterfeiting. | ||
| So I think they did the smart thing and that's blanket. | ||
| Of course, the mainstream media is going crazy there. | ||
| But there you saw the penguins are showing up and the penguins are going to make sure they're... | ||
| Listen, you've got to mock these people, right? | ||
| That's a great clip to tell them, hey, we don't take you seriously and we'll mock you, but the penguins have arrived to meet with... | ||
| I think Scott Besson is going to let Peter Navarro handle that meeting. | ||
| Mike Davis is going to talk to you about the situation with the impeachment, the impeachment of these federal judges. | ||
| It has to start. | ||
| And it has to start at the Judiciary Committee. | ||
| Remember, we're going to need everybody up on the ramparts. | ||
| That's happening. | ||
| Support for the trade deal is happening. | ||
| Now we've got the reconciliation. | ||
| Semaphore has a blockbuster story up that President Trump has told U.S. | ||
| senators that he is supportive right now and open to. | ||
| For him, one, to be able to give more tax cuts to working class people, particularly no tax on Social Security. | ||
| So that is a huge story today from Semaphore that's up. | ||
| I've got it up on my getter. | ||
| We'll talk about that more in the next hour. | ||
| But we're going to need you on the ramparts to support really something logical on the reconciliation. | ||
| Right now, I don't know. | ||
| There's 20 to 30, maybe 40 people in the House I don't think like the Senate bill whatsoever. | ||
| And to be brutally frank, what I understand of the Senate bill, I hate. | ||
| It's quite confusing. | ||
| There's all types of promises about potential cuts to be made or agreements that will be reached in the summer. | ||
| But I think it's kind of gimmicky. | ||
| And right now we can't have gimmicks. | ||
| This is why I hope President Trump and the team and Treasury really get this thing sorted, because I think this could have really a slowdown effect of one big, beautiful bill. | ||
| And I think this is one of the problems with doing one big, beautiful bill. | ||
| If you can't back out what we need on the border and what we need for the military, I will also tell you, and I love Pete Hexeth. | ||
| You know, nobody worked harder for Pete than this show. | ||
| I just don't get this trillion-dollar defense bill. | ||
| In particular, does it align with the new geostrategic reality Pete's in? | ||
| is down in Panama today with Raheem. | ||
| So we're going to need you at the ramparts. | ||
| The last thing we need is any more anxiety on you, particularly with your home title lock, with your home title. | ||
| Remember, your title to your home, for those of you lucky enough to own one, is the only contractual thing that shows that you actually own that real asset. | ||
| So that is pressure to you, particularly if it's 80 or 90% of your net worth. | ||
| The $1 million Triple Lock protection. | ||
| 24-7 coverage. | ||
| Anything happens, you can get an alert right away in the middle of the night. | ||
| They have a $1 million restoration program if all else fails. | ||
| Go to HomeTitleLock.com today. | ||
| Steve25. And talk to Natalie Dominguez and the team at Home Title Lock to make sure that no one, and I mean no one, can take out a second mortgage. | ||
| On your home at a high interest rate from a hard money lender because they do not want to hear your tale of woe. | ||
| And we need you up on the ramparts now more than ever. | ||
| Carpet bombing Capitol Hill. | ||
| We've got so many fights going on. | ||
| Mike Davis is going to be here to define one of them in the courts. | ||
| These radical courts showing some support on President Trump on some things, showing not support on others. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| We're going to leave you with the right stuff. | ||
| We're gonna be back in a moment. | ||
| Mike Davis, live from the White House. |
