| ...to me is one of the most shocking pieces of poll data that I truly, truthfully have seen this year, or maybe in any prior year. | ||
| Really? Yes, really, because I want you to take a look. | ||
| Cares more about the needs for people like you. | ||
| You mentioned the K-Poll. | ||
| We got a tie, even after this tariff war had already started, split between Democrats and Republicans on how people feel. | ||
| Which party cares more for needs of people like you? | ||
| And why is that so surprising? | ||
| Because I want you to take a look at prior years. | ||
| Democrats always lead on this question. | ||
| Back in 2017, before the 2018 midterms, 13-point lead. | ||
| 2005, a 23-point lead for Democrats. | ||
| 1994, which was a big Republican year, a 19-point lead for Democrats. | ||
| And now, all of a sudden, a tie? | ||
| All of a sudden, the Democrats, who were the party of the people, no more, no more. | ||
| We get a tie on this question, on a question that has traditionally... | ||
| Overwhelmingly been a Democratic advantage for which party cares more for the needs of people like you. | ||
| It's truly something I would not have expected to see, especially after this tariff war had begun. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Where does it show that Republicans are making the most gains? | |
| Again, you talk about party of the people. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| Cares for the needs of people like yourself. | ||
| Look here, we got non-college, we got those with a college degree. | ||
| Among those with a college degree, it's the same score. | ||
| Plus 18 points for Democrats in 2017, plus 18 points for Democrats now. | ||
| But look among non-college voters. | ||
| Look here. | ||
| It was plus 7 for Democrats in 2017, and now Republicans have overwhelmingly gained. | ||
| Plus 9 points. | ||
| That is, the gains have been concentrated, at least within the last decade, among voters without a college degree. | ||
| The working class. | ||
| That is where Republicans have gained even since the beginning of the Donald Trump administration. | ||
| The Democratic base is now those with a college degree among the working class, those without a college degree. | ||
| Republicans have overwhelmingly gained on this all important question of which party cares more for people like yourself. | ||
| Your reference points are, as you were pointing out, just before a midterm election. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So obviously let's kind of look at that. | |
| Where do things stand for the fight for Congress? | ||
| Right, okay. | ||
| So you have this question, right? | ||
| And then there's the question, ultimately, are Republicans going to get punished in this midterm election, in part because that's normally what happens, the party in power gets punished, but also because of this tariff war. | ||
| And I want you to take a look here at the generic congressional ballot. | ||
| Where we were in April of 2017, Democrats were already ahead by seven points. | ||
| In November of 2024, on this question, it was a tie, and then, of course, Republicans won control. | ||
| Where are we now? | ||
| It's Democrats. | ||
| Democrats, but just by a point, this looks very much still like what we saw in 2024, not like what we saw in 2017. | ||
| I'd say, hold on a second. | ||
| Republicans still have a real shot at this, despite all of Trump's theatrics over the last month with this tariff war. | ||
| There really is interesting information coming out in this that you're pulling out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you, Harry. | |
| Thank you. | ||
| I think it's interesting in K degrees. | ||

For once. | |
| For once. | ||

|
You know, we are watching autocracy. | |
| We are watching an autocrat try to take over the government. | ||
| And there's a reason that they're targeting grad students, people who've written op-eds, people who have political views. | ||
| They don't like judges. | ||
| I mean, this is a war on speech. | ||
| And it is, I think, the closest to McCarthyism, right? | ||
| Because I think so much about my grandfather, who was jailed during McCarthy and blacklisted. | ||
| And it really is. | ||
| You know, it's a war on the elites and the academics and the, you know, the journalist group. | ||
| And it really is this sort of, you know, and they are hoping by deporting the grad students, what they're doing is trying, you know, they're trying to get to the people who are like that J.P. Morgan analyst. | ||
| 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 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 line? | ||

MAGA 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. Babb. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Babb. | ||
| Saturday, 12 April, year of early 2025. | ||
| We were going to spend this morning breaking down what went on last night in L.A. Bill Maher's show, Bill Maher's explanation of walking through with President Trump, the dinner he had at the White House, and then my interview, and then afterwards some of the comments I made in the after show. | ||
| But we don't have time. | ||
| We have too much news today. | ||
| We are packed wall to wall about China and Iran, polling, economics, the bond market, and maybe some bad news about big tech for the populist movement. | ||
| We're going to get into all that, but I've got to start with important breaking news. | ||
| From one of the most important people in our movement, Tom Fenton. | ||
| Tom Fenton for years. | ||
| I would like to say we fought side by side and I made a great film about Tom Fenton and his efforts back during the Obama years. | ||
| But Tom, nobody really fought your side because you were ahead of all of us running the People's Justice Department. | ||
| I'm kind of shocked when I get back at literally 5 a.m. to do the show from L.A. having driven all night and I find that Tom Fenton Well, | ||
| Why would Tom Fenton do that? | ||
| This is what you did for eight years against Eric Holder. | ||
| Why are you doing this? | ||
| What has caused you to do this now, sir? | ||
| we sued under the FOIA for the Epstein records. | ||
| They were supposed to be released. | ||
| There was a great controversy in the process of the release initially by Pam Bondi's team. | ||
| And we're like, what's going on here? | ||
| Where are the records? | ||
| What records generally are out there? | ||
| What are being withheld? | ||
| Where are you looking? | ||
| What happened with this initial release? | ||
| Was there obstruction? | ||
| Who did it? | ||
| And that's what we do. | ||
| You know, I think. | ||
| And we'll sue the Trump administration a lot this time around, really to get to the truth about the corruption that must be overcome by President Trump himself and his appointees. | ||
| But hang on. | ||
| But hang on. | ||
| You sued, because I was there, you sued the Trump administration the first time. | ||
| Because, let's be honest, we didn't have this unitary theory of the executive stepping into his Article 2 powers, that he is the chief magistrate and the chief law enforcement officer. | ||
| This whole Watergate, all this Watergate nonsense is broken. | ||
| You sued it because the deep state ran the Justice Department. | ||
| And Jeff Sessions, as good a man as he was, was just not up to the task to take it on. | ||
| And the people that Jeff put in there, and others put in there, We're worse than some of the Obama guys. | ||
| I mean, the Justice Department in the first term worked against President Trump, and that's why you were suing him every day. | ||
| I thought we solved that problem. | ||
| I thought the four years that we took... | ||
| To do, you know, Stephen Miller's America First Law, you know, Russ Vogt's Center for Renewing America, you got Payaletta and Jeff Clark over there, you know, Brooke Rollins' America First Policy Institute, the Project 2025. | ||
| I thought the top, and the top priority for President Trump, and excuse me if I'm wrong, Tom Fenton, was... | ||
| We got to clean out the rat's nest that is the Justice Department because that infects, that's kind of the linchpin with the CIA of how the deep state works. | ||
| So what's happened here, brother? | ||
| You know, at best, you've got a group of individuals at the top level and they fired some people, but not nearly enough. | ||
| And there's going to have to be pressure from the outside to get them to focus. | ||
| On why they were put in power to begin with by President Trump and then obviously the election initially of President Trump. | ||
| And there are a lot of things going on in the Justice Department. | ||
| And maybe I'm being too charitable, Steve, but this lawsuit will help them focus on what needs to be done. | ||
| And there are many, you know, we have 190 lawsuits on FOIA, more or less. | ||
| I think it's, yeah, it's almost 190. | ||
| And we got to get answers. | ||
| We can't wait. | ||
| There's a significant public interest in the Epstein matter. | ||
| To me, it's kind of an indicia of whether the Justice Department is serious about this. | ||
| And frankly, we want, obviously, the client list. | ||
| I want to know the circumstances of his death, too. | ||
| We didn't just say, give us the client list. | ||
| We said, give us records about Epstein. | ||
| And we also want records about the efforts to get in the way of the release of the Epstein records just two months ago. | ||
| Yes, when they put out the other thing that people had seen before. | ||
| On the antitrust side, I mean, Monday, I think it's the FTC. | ||
| So President Trump's antitrust efforts with Gail Slater and the people of justice are going gangbusters. | ||
| The FTC, FCC, so the deconstruction administrative state and the taking on of this concentrated corporate power is unparalleled to how they're going after it. | ||
| But your other things besides the investigations on the voter fraud, just everything. | ||
| You know, you have Tulsi Gabbard mentioned something, DNI. | ||
| The question is on the core investigations of what has to happen. | ||
| Walk me through your punch list of what we have to do because I don't think people feel anything's happening there. | ||
| We need to invest. | ||
| Can they do that internally? | ||
| As I discussed previously with you, I'm doubtful. | ||
| Frankly, to me, what the FBI and Justice Department did was they almost destroyed our constitutional republic, not ten years ago, not five years ago, but four months ago. | ||
| Five months ago. | ||
| It was going on up until and frankly through the election. | ||
| And there's got to be accountability and we need to protect ourselves from ever happening that again. | ||
| That ever happening again. | ||
| And I kind of go back to obviously they're not the Japanese during the war. | ||
| But what happened after the war in Japan was the Japanese system they were Completely knocked out and unable to, even if they wanted to, | ||
| do what they did in World War II again. | ||
| That's got to be the approach of the FBI and Justice Department. | ||
| They need to be husks of their former selves in terms of having the ability to jail a former president on a pretext and put his life in danger. | ||
| And that needs to be the approach. | ||
| That needs to be the emergency. | ||
| It's an emergency. | ||
| And what bugs me, Steve, is I've had the FBI engage in an information operation against me and others who had, relatively speaking, at least from my perspective, a mild complaint about a guy who probably shouldn't be in a senior position in the FBI being put in that position because of his background pushing this J6 fake narrative. | ||
| And they spent more time trying to undermine the point I was making there and I heard pushback from all sorts of ways indirectly from the FBI than I perceive that they've done to investigate the issues I'm talking about. | ||
| I wish they would spend as much energy at least providing public leadership on these issues. | ||
| Maybe you do things privately. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| That's, to me, just smoke and mirrors. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But how about the public leadership on it? | |
| When's the last time we've heard anyone at the leadership of FBI or DOJ say anything about welfare? | ||
| Tom, you've called last week in the show for a special prosecutor to be, for the president to set it up Yes, and that prosecutor can be staffed by other federal law enforcement outside the FBI. | ||
| He can use some expertise within the Justice Department, but it should be an all-hands-on-deck approach from federal law enforcement. | ||
| And not the FBI and not the Justice Department because they have to be the subject of these investigations. | ||
| And, you know, there's this Washington way of saying, of course, you know, we'll just have a special counsel. | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| The president has this prerogative exercised by other presidents to hire and fire prosecutors and he should use it. | ||
| The Constitution, in my view, he has a positive obligation to get this done. | ||
| And you might like Pam Bondi, and she may be doing good work, and Kash Patel may be doing good work on a whole host of issues, but structurally, he needs to put in place something better than the FBI and the Justice Department to address the threat to the republic. | ||
| Tom, hang on for one second. | ||
| You've been through this directly. | ||
| I give you my answer. | ||
| Let's take a short commercial break. | ||
| I want to hold you. | ||
| Because this is important enough and Cash is our guy and Pam Bondi. | ||
| Tremendous. But there's something. | ||
| Time. We are burning daylight. | ||
| We're burning daylight. | ||
| Tom Fenton. | ||
| The amazing Tom Fenton. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| We're going to turn the worm in just a moment. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I got American faith in America's heart. | |
| We are watching autocracy. | ||
| We are watching an autocrat try to take over the government. | ||
| And there's a reason that they're targeting grad students, people who've written op-eds, people who have political views. | ||
| They don't like judges. | ||
| I mean, this is a war on speech. | ||
| I'll play it again later. | ||
| Her grandfather was Howard Fast that wrote Spartacus and many others. | ||
| I believe was blackballed in Hollywood. | ||
| Did not go to prison, I don't think, like Ring Lardner, who preceded me at Danbury. | ||
| He went for the same thing, contempt of Congress. | ||
| Back then it was a felony, not a misdemeanor. | ||
| Tom Fenton, this is incredibly important. | ||
| It's not just about the Epstein files or other things. | ||
| You've got to pull the camera back. | ||
| And I want you to repeat it. | ||
| The FBI and the DOJ... | ||
| Came that close, within a micro-millimeter, of jailing President Trump, and not just me and Navarro, I'm talking about others, but jailing President Trump for 20 or 30 years for nothing, totally made up. | ||
| This thing stinks to high heaven. | ||
| And I 100%, and it's kind of sad you had to come back a week after you were on here the first time, we need immediately. | ||
| A special counsel designated by the president to report to the president as the chief magistrate and chief law enforcement officer. | ||
| Heck, you're forcing it in the Supreme Court every day, being the three powers of the unitary theory of the executive, or as the engine room keeps telling me, it's called Article 2, Steve. | ||
| Okay, his Article 2 powers as chief executive, commander-in-chief, and the chief law enforcement officer. | ||
| Of the United States, which every night on TV and MSNBC is the one that they fear the most, right? | ||
| It's time now to follow what Tom Fenton said. | ||
| And it's not that Tom Fenton just wandered in and as some donor stroked a check and said, hey, I think this Tom Fenton's been in these trenches for 15 plus years. | ||
| If it was not for Tom Fenton, the Obama administration would have been 10 times more out of control than it was. | ||
| So Tom, once again, what is your... | ||
| I just want the audience to know, we're not picking on Cash and Pam. | ||
| We love Cash and Pam, but it's obvious running those institutions is a full-time job. | ||
| This is why they took ATF away from Cash. | ||
| It wasn't that he was doing a bad job. | ||
| His play is full just running it. | ||
| Pam's is obviously full with DOJ. | ||
| But these have to be investigated. | ||
| We have to do it now. | ||
| We're burning daylight. | ||
| It's got to go. | ||
| So what is your recommendation? | ||
| What's your justification? | ||
| Well, there are a few other issues here. | ||
| It's like, you know, Kristi Noem, for example, she's got control of the border, right? | ||
| So a country's got to get control of the border. | ||
| The people have got to get control of the border in order to have a country that you can actually call an Asian state. | ||
| You also need to get control of the administrative state. | ||
| And what Fast was saying earlier at MSNBC, it's the complete opposite. | ||
| Political control of the administrative state. | ||
| has got to be job number one, two, or three for President Trump. | ||
| And he's made significant strides there. | ||
| And in order to achieve that, which really ultimately is democracy, right? | ||
| The people control the bureaucracy, not the other way around. | ||
| The bureaucracies need to be controllable in terms of budget and size. | ||
| And let's stop pretending that the FBI is controllable in terms of budget and size. | ||
| Let's stop pretending DOJ is controllable in terms of budget and size. | ||
| So there needs to be a Doge approach to both agencies. | ||
| And there needs to be an approach treating them like Department of Education and Doge. | ||
| I'd be happy having Lyndon McMahon go over there because she's been doing this over at the Education Department. | ||
| They already have people who have kind of gone through this process internally in terms of managing the decimation of these out-of-control agencies in a way that protects the republic. | ||
| And in terms of the lawfare, there's got to be accountability for it. | ||
| Because otherwise, I'm not worried about Democrats coming in and these agencies getting out of control and abusing. | ||
| I'm worried about anyone getting back in. | ||
| Remember, Trump was almost jailed during the Trump administration. | ||
| So it's not a question of the partisan president or the partisan nature of the president or the party of the president. | ||
| It's a question of are these agencies subject to the rule of law? | ||
| There's no evidence the FBI thinks it's subject to the rule of law. | ||
| And the DOJ was an absolute threat and defends everything. | ||
| People don't understand. | ||
| The Justice Department defends everything lawless in a government, in the federal government. | ||
| That's their job. | ||
| Anytime you have a complaint about what the government does, you can always count the DOJ to be there to defend it. | ||
| So there's got to be a kind of an understanding of what's happening here. | ||
| And I think Trump understands it. | ||
| But he's got a lot of things on his plate. | ||
| And this is where Kash Patel and Pam Bondi need to take a much more aggressive and expansive understand have a expansive understanding in the greater in the in this great history of the country as to what their opportunities and roles here are you know I remember talking to a historian about what was the difference between the founders and and the current group of politicians and you know their their view was they they they | ||
| understood where they were in history and and understood it very carefully and and worked To live up to the historical roles they understood they have. | ||
| And I think Pam and Cash understand that somewhat. | ||
| But our role and the role of the citizenry is to remind them of that. | ||
| And bolster them. | ||
| Help them. | ||
| Yeah. It is. | ||
| But repeat what you said. | ||
| It's not them. | ||
| The point is go back to what you just said. | ||
| Folks, you have to understand something. | ||
| Understand our movement and the revolutionary nature of what we're attempting to do to restore this to a constitutional republic. | ||
| Fenton repeated again, President Trump was almost jailed by his own Justice Department in his first term. | ||
| This just wasn't Jack Smith and Lisa Monaco. | ||
| They're all demons, and I don't know why we don't have a grand jury right now investigating the whole crap. | ||
| The apparatus itself, it's a systemic problem. | ||
| It's not just a personnel problem. | ||
| It's a systemic problem. | ||
| It has to be taken apart brick by brick. | ||
| And the FBI, I don't know why we don't have the headquarters up for sale. | ||
| We've got to take it apart brick by brick, break the thing up into a couple of pieces, and not, I don't think, be out doing Instagrams about how great they are. | ||
| They're not great. | ||
| And right now, I don't care about arresting guys in the top ten most wanted. | ||
| That's fine. | ||
| That's fine. | ||
| Go ahead, sir. | ||
| They had the FBI come to my house a few years ago to give me a subpoena. | ||
| Forgive me for thinking this is a little bit personal. | ||
| We've worked with the FBI. | ||
| We've actually hired former FBI guys. | ||
| I don't even want to give credit to the argument, well, there are good people working in the FBI. | ||
| That is not the point. | ||
| There may be good people working in the FBI, but they're scared in the corner. | ||
| And unable to do anything. | ||
| So it's not about them. | ||
| The culture rewards corruption, cowardice in terms of ethics and morality. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's what we see repeatedly. | |
| You know, remember, we got some, and they've got the, the FBI's got the best PR operation in Washington, D.C. Second to none. | ||
| Every foreign government looking for, you know, PR operations in D.C., every corporation, they should look to see what the FBI had. | ||
| They're untouchable in terms of, oh, do you hear anyone in Congress talking about defanging the FBI? | ||
| Even cutting a dollar from the FBI? | ||
| No. They're afraid. | ||
| They're intimidated. | ||
| No, they're intimidated. | ||
| I don't know why the shows, all these shows that glorify them ought to all be pulled down immediately. | ||
| It's ridiculous how many polls. | ||
| Fenton, where do people go to follow this? | ||
| Because you're like a dog with a bone now. | ||
| You're not going to get off this. | ||
| I wake up this morning and it's like, Bannon wants you to come on. | ||
| It's like, doesn't Bannon take a day off? | ||
| It's Saturday. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What the hell is wrong with you? | |
| It's my favorite. | ||
| It's my favorite show. | ||
| I'm demented. | ||
| Working with you for so many years, I'm demented. | ||
| I know, and I'm happy to come on. | ||
| That's for sure. | ||
| I'm at Judicial Watch, obviously, and online everywhere. | ||
| Tom Fitton and Judicial Watch. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There's no one else doing the work we're doing. | |
| No, but this is the sad thing. | ||
| I don't know if I have to go back to old Breitbart radio days. | ||
| We used to have you on and we'd pitch you as the People's Justice Department. | ||
| We're in charge now. | ||
| We shouldn't have to do this. | ||
| This is what's so sad. | ||
| They have to do it now. | ||
| They have to tell us when are the records coming out. | ||
| They didn't have to until the day before yesterday. | ||
| One of the key...points is that Tom Fitton sued Trump's first-term Justice Department more than he sued, and he used to tell me all the time, he says, they stonewall us worse than Holder in this crowd. | ||
| That's how corrupt... | ||
| Can I tell a quick story? | ||
| Sure, go ahead. | ||
| We've got about a minute. | ||
| So I visited with someone important whose initials are SB in the White House once, and he told me this SB character, last name Bannon, I said, Fenton, I'm trying to get you two things. | ||
| I'm trying to get two things done. | ||
| I'm trying to get you your documents and the embassy move to Jerusalem. | ||
| Well, you got the embassy move to Jerusalem. | ||
| We're still waiting. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That was easier to do than to get your documents out. | |
| A billion percent. | ||
| A billion percent. | ||
| The two hardest things were, hold it, designating the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization and getting Fenton his documents. | ||
| I'm telling you. | ||
| That hasn't changed, because the app has changed. | ||
| Tom, what's your social media, too? | ||
| Where do people go besides Judicial Watch? | ||
| They follow you on Twitter or anything else? | ||
| We're on all the social media platforms, Judicial Watch and I am as well. | ||
| We've got great programming on YouTube and Rumble, and we, dare I say it, we're still on TikTok. | ||
| Amen. We'll figure that one out too. | ||
| A whole other development with Big Tech we're hopefully getting to. | ||
| We've got to jam it in. | ||
| We're slammed this morning. | ||
| Fenton, love you brother. | ||
| Keep fighting. | ||
| Alright, thank you. | ||
| Grace will push this out. | ||
| Grace will push this out hard. | ||
| Everybody's got to see this. | ||
| More with sorrow than anger. | ||
| We've got to do it. | ||
| Special counsel's got to be named. | ||
| Directly report to President Trump or burning daylight. | ||
| FBI's got to be taken apart. | ||
| DOJ. It's a nest of vipers over there. | ||
| Obviously, just a senior management change is not going to do it, folks. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| back in the morning in a moment. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Now and then | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bann. | ||
| Okay, I... | ||
| I'm going to break down and talk to you about the bond market in a little while, but like our theory of the case here, the bond market's turfed out more governments than howitzers. | ||
| And I say this because now I've said for years the easy decisions are behind us. | ||
| Every decision going forward is going to be a tough decision. | ||
| Every decision going forward is going to have some pain to it, folks, if you want to sort this crisis out. | ||
| And the bond market's going to get a vote. | ||
| The bond market got a vote this week. | ||
| Note to self. | ||
| So let's be here in this show for working class people and for middle class people and that's why CNN poll shows that working class people come more to the Republican Party because the Republican Party, at least some element of us, the populist nationalist wing of it, will have a frank conversation with working class people because they're kind of the embedded wisdom of the nation and we're not here to fool them. | ||
| There's a situation on tech that I think we just blanked. | ||
| It's come across the Bloomberg terminal. | ||
| But it's because of the bond market. | ||
| I'm going to get to that in a second. | ||
| Gold, and this is why for the last four years, I hate to be blunt, but I'll be blunt. | ||
| We've been ahead of this for a long time. | ||
| This is why we teamed up with Birch Gold a long time ago to explain to people the situation about the prime reserve currency, the U.S. dollar, and what it means in the world economic system and how much The ability of our elites to game the system depends upon that. | ||
| And why that has responsibilities. | ||
| Why that being the prime reserve currency has responsibilities. | ||
| Number one is the whole military situation we got ourselves into. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Gold exploded over the last week. | |
| It's not the price of gold. | ||
| We're not here to say, look at the price of gold. | ||
| Go buy gold. | ||
| It's going to go higher. | ||
| We never say that. | ||
| It's not the point. | ||
| The point is for you, just like everything else in the show, your agency, for you to learn what drives gold as a store of value and a hedge against financial turbulence. | ||
| And folks, we're going to have financial turbulence like crazy. | ||
| Why? Because President Trump is trying to reorganize the world's economic order to make sure we go back to America being a manufacturing superpower. | ||
| Make sure you go to Birch Gold. | ||
| Easiest way to start off. | ||
| Just take your phone and text BANNON at 989898. | ||
| Get the free guide of the ultimate guide to investing in gold in the era of Trump. | ||
| Gold's going to fluctuate, but you need to know the converging forces in back of that. | ||
| Also, the BRICS have a huge conference in July, and the Birch Gold guys are going to go attend that as our representatives to report their live. | ||
| Because remember, as I get into the Chinese Communist Party in the second hour of the show, their leading weapon, one of their leading weapons is a de-dollarization program to de-dollarize the nations of the world and to make sure that we're left kind of holding the bag. | ||
| Which right now, if we got off us being the prime reserve currency, we would be like Argentina back in the old days with the 150% inflation. | ||
| Tej Gill. | ||
| This morning, because I was going to have a nice morning breaking down the HBO special last night, the HBO Bill Maher show. | ||
| We're not doing that because we've got so much going on. | ||
| I've got so many people stacked up that we've got to get on here for breaking news from everywhere from about the Persian nuclear situation to what's happening with China. | ||
| I need a cup of coffee. | ||
| I need a fill-up. | ||
| I need a top-off of Warpath coffee. | ||
| Why is this coffee so great? | ||
| Why do I drink it black? | ||
| Why is it called the Champagne of Coffee, sir? | ||
| Well, first off, we start out with fresh beans. | ||
| We only use premium beans. | ||
| And then the way we roast it is we roast it on a perforated drum. | ||
| So by doing that, we don't burn the beans at all. | ||
| Probably 9 out of 10 roasters, they burn their beans. | ||
| That's why most coffee is served with milk and sugar. | ||
| So by caramelizing the beans and not carbonizing the beans, we don't burn it, and you can drink it all black. | ||
| It's super smooth. | ||
| It's very low acid in there. | ||
| It's not bitter. | ||
| I had a guy tell me the other day that he had allergies and he's buying this $30 a bag coffee that was organic and this and that. | ||
| I told him to try our coffee because we've had people email us and tell us that they had all kinds of allergies and stuff and we are the only coffee they can drink that is not certified organic because our coffee is so clean and so good. | ||
| He drank it and he's like, dude, I'm drinking your coffee from now on because the other thing is our coffee is affordable. | ||
| We are a premium tier gourmet coffee, champagne a coffee, at an affordable price. | ||
| So that's what makes our coffee so good. | ||
| It's an incredible coffee. | ||
| People absolutely love it. | ||
| We have the dark roast, the Mariner's blend, and you can drink that Mariner's blend with no milk and no sugar. | ||
| It's actually a smooth, dark roast. | ||
| And then we have the breakfast blend, which is... | ||
| Super smooth. | ||
| It's incredible. | ||
| Then we have the summer blend. | ||
| The summer blend actually has Jamaica Blue Mountain beans in it. | ||
| A very small amount because that stuff is about $60 a bag. | ||
| So we put a very small amount in there. | ||
| And that falls somewhere in between the breakfast blend and the summer blend. | ||
| Then we've got our Italian Frogman espresso. | ||
| It's a light roast Italian espresso. | ||
| And I drink it black. | ||
| It's an espresso that you can actually drink black. | ||
| And we went back and forth for a while getting that roast right because I wanted an espresso that wasn't bitter. | ||
| Some people like bitter espresso, but I don't. | ||
| And it's really strong, but it's really smooth. | ||
| And the coffee is just incredible. | ||

| Appreciate you. | ||
| Thank you, sir. | ||
| I think I've got to work that date out. | ||
| I've got to work that special. | ||
| Maybe these ought to be extended, but we'll talk about that after the show. | ||
| Remember, he's a Navy SEAL. | ||
| Jeff Davis. | ||
| By the way, get a hot cup of coffee now because you're going to need it for the rest of the show. | ||
| Jeff Davis, South Carolina, Greenville. | ||
| How is this... | ||
| You're one of the MAGA leaders down there. | ||
| How is President Trump's, you saw the Harry Enten CNN, where President Trump's been able to shift, the MAGA has been able to shift the Republican Party to be a working class party, and it shocked CNN, it shocked the Democrats. | ||
| How is President Trump's program to date playing down in the great state of South Carolina? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, Steve, as you and I have talked about or texted about it, it's playing perfectly with the citizens. | |
| The citizens here in the state of South Carolina, they're good, hardworking, God-fearing Republicans, conservatives. | ||
| But the problem is, and it's exactly what Tom Fenton was saying earlier in the earlier two segments, is the leadership and the people that are running the state and, quite frankly, the establishment of the Republican Party has not... | ||
| The MAGA movement has skipped past South Carolina in that respect. | ||
| We have been rated by CPAC as the most liberal red state in the nation. | ||
| I'm a tax attorney CPA. | ||
| We literally have the highest marginal tax rate in the entire Southeast. | ||
| They literally came out with a plan to lower and flatten our income tax rates. | ||
| Well, when you actually got into the numbers, they ended up increasing the tax burden. | ||
| On 60% of the lower income side of the table. | ||
| So the problem is, just like you guys were talking about on the national level, y'all were working with Trump and trying to push things down. | ||
| We're trying to work from the bottom up and push things up because we've got to do so much more on the lower level than I think even goes on on the national level. | ||
| We came out with a survey last week. | ||
| The state of South Carolina has 15 government No, this is, | ||
| you're another example of Texas, but here's what I understand. | ||
| The base down there, You don't have a more fired up, more dedicated President Trump MAGA movement than in South Carolina among the people. | ||
| We just got a couple minutes. | ||
| Why is it not filtered up to the state level and even to some of your federal, I don't want to get into name and names, but some of your own federal representatives? | ||
| What's the problem down there? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I don't mind naming names, and I think you're talking about Lindsey Graham, who's up for election in 2026. | |
| But the problem is, quite frankly, South Carolina is first in the South for picking presidential candidates. | ||
| South Carolina is where Trump won in 2016. | ||
| South Carolina is where Trump won in 2024, where we stopped Nikki Haley, our former governor here in South Carolina. | ||
| But that's the type of legislators we have, the Nikki Haley's, the Lindsey Graham's of the world. | ||
| And because of the political consulting class that's here in the state, there is so much money that comes in here. | ||
| And it's the political consultants that are sitting here managing this. | ||
| And as you know, the political consultants, it's easy to sell out to the money's special interest. | ||
| And that's what our government here in the state of South Carolina is doing. | ||
| We have the nation's worst-rated school choice program. | ||
| I mean, we spend at the median level, | ||
| However, we're number 47. So we're always thankful for Mississippi, but I think Mississippi's beating us nowadays on the education level. | ||
| The problem is the Trump agenda has not filtered into the government, into the political establishment here, and that's what we're trying to work on. | ||
| And Steve, and I know you haven't mentioned it yet, but you're going to be down here at our Greenville County Republican Party convention. | ||
| We represent about 12 percent of the state, and you'll be here Monday speaking to the convention. | ||
| And I hope we'll be pushing a hard message of let's get the Trump agenda infiltrated into our government and our political establishment here in the state of South Carolina. | ||
| And I will give one other note for you just to know how bad it is. | ||
| Our current state party chairman is a gentleman by the name of Drew McKissick. | ||
| And if you recognize that name, he was the co-chair with Rona McDaniel. | ||
| We got rid of Rona and Drew McKissick on the national level. | ||
| Trump fired them last February of 2024, but we still got to fire Drew McKissick here in the state of South Carolina. | ||
| Is there any way people can still attend? | ||
| Is there a place they can go to? | ||
| You can send them right now with 30 seconds left if they want to attend on Monday, or you close down ticket sales? | ||

We follow, we've got our non-profit and our 501c4. | |
| It's myscgop.news. | ||
| That's where we put all our information out there and all social media. | ||
| But my, M-Y-S-C-G-O-P. | ||
| Thank you, sir. | ||
| Thank you, brother. | ||
| Appreciate it. | ||
| Look forward to seeing you. | ||
| Look forward to seeing you Patriots on Monday. | ||
| By the way, a lot of patriots in Beverly Hills gave a talk on Thursday night to just an incredible group of patriots. | ||
| And then Bill Moore, the shocker last night, his discussion about President Trump in the White House was quite frankly extraordinary. | ||
| And we're going to figure out how to break it down on Monday. | ||
| Ube Shan Bandar, helping Rick Grinnell, Ambassador Rick Grinnell, you're an expert on what's going on, I guess today in Oman, but it's really about Tehran. | ||
| President Trump, once again, says, hey, and you kind of called the shot when you were here a couple weeks ago, it's got to be direct negotiations. | ||
| And that means the Israelis are out of the way, really the Omanis are out of the way, the Saudis are out of the way, this is the United States right to the Persians. | ||
| This is so important for people because we've got two carrier battle groups down the Red Sea kind of for this, we're bombing the Houthis kind of for this. | ||
| Tell me what's going on today, sir. | ||
| Witkoff's down there, over there. | ||
| This is as big as it gets, is it not? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, that's right. | |
| This is a really big deal. | ||
| There are ongoing negotiations right now from President Trump's Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, who's meeting with Ayatollah Khamenei's envoys in the neutral country of Oman in the Arabian Gulf region. | ||
| Now, what's happening here is that President Trump sent a letter directly. | ||
| In March to the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Khomeini. | ||
| And he essentially told them, you either engage in direct negotiations with my representatives to figure out a way where Iran can thrive, but. | ||
| Does not have a pathway to build a nuclear bomb or you face direct and very severe repercussions. | ||
| That letter went out in March and now you have negotiations with President Trump's senior envoy along with Khomeini's senior envoys in Oman. | ||
| Why? Because President Trump has the Ayatollah rattled. | ||
| We know this because of leaks in the media. | ||
| That some of Khomeini's senior advisors a few weeks ago sat down with him and told him, hey, we are facing an economic implosion because of President Trump's maximum pressure campaign that he officially issued back in February with that executive memorandum. | ||
| That is starving Iran of its ability to export its oil to China. | ||
| In fact, according to some of the commodity data that we're seeing here, since January, Iran has exported about 1.6 million barrels of oil to China. | ||
| Some of the data analysts are saying that that could go down by around half a million barrels because of the new sanctions that President Trump has issued that is hitting China. | ||
| So Iran is essentially being starved. | ||
| But hang on, but Ube, hang on for a second. | ||
| This is what I made on the thing the other day. | ||
| You're not going to have a military situation here. | ||
| We can't get dragging that again. | ||
| But it's 1.6 to 2 million. | ||
| Why is it not zero? | ||
| The Chinese Communist Party is our enemy. | ||
| The Tehran to Beijing access is because we're in negotiations for a rapprochement with the Russians right now to break that stranglehold in the Eurasian landmass. | ||
| Why are we not even... | ||
| I spent some time in the Navy in the North Arabian Sea in the Persian Gulf with carrier battle groups during the Iranian hostage crisis. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| The United States Navy, hey, if they're keeping the Red Sea lane open to Suez Canal, we could shift those battle groups over there and stop every vessel coming out of the Straits of Hormuz out of the Persian Gulf and stop and board them. | ||
| And if they got oil for China, you turn them back. | ||
| We could cut that to zero. | ||
| We could bring the Persians to the knees economically. | ||
| In fact, just a few days... | ||
| down and bring them to the table to the on their knees, sir. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think we're getting there. | |
| President Trump has issued a number of sanctions on what's called Iran's shadow fleet. | ||
| In fact, just a few | ||
| Before the ongoing talks in Oman, the Trump administration issued a new set of sanctions that are specifically targeting the shipbuilders that own these fleet of ships that conduct what's called ship-to-ship transfers out in the Arabian Sea in the Gulf of Oman. | ||
| Basically, it's smuggling oil, and that is really hurting Iran. | ||
| Look, to give you an example, you have a severe water shortage and electricity shortage in Tehran that's forced government offices to close down and schools to close down for like two to three days. | ||
| And we're not even in the summer yet. | ||
| So that what we do know is that Ayatollah Khomeini's senior advisor, | ||
| But, hey, but then, | ||
| I know, but that ain't happening. | ||
| That's where BB's come over a couple times. | ||
| He came over to talk about it. | ||
| That is not going to happen. | ||
| We are adamantly opposed to that. | ||
| Adamantly opposed to that. | ||
| And that's why BB came twice. | ||
| You do that, you're going to get sucked into a Middle East war that's going to be without end. | ||
| So hang on for a second, because I want to talk about verification versus taking this thing apart. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| We're going to get into it. | ||
| The Persians, the Chinese, the bond market. | ||
| Take out your number two pencil. | ||
| We're working on a Saturday morning here in the war room. | ||
| I'm going to leave you with the right stuff. |
