| Trump incredibly well and is a buddy of Pete Hexas. | ||
| We're going to get to more of the Pete Hexas a little later in the show. | ||
| We've got a great cold open to try to encapsulate what has been not your typical Easter Monday. | ||
| We thought we were going to be this morning at the Easter egg roll and then come back to it in the afternoon. | ||
| That is not the case. | ||
| Let's go ahead and start the cold open. | ||
| Natalie G. Winters on the other side. | ||
| And I just want to give a special thank you to our great first lady who organized this entire event. | ||
| She worked very, very hard on it. | ||
| She worked very hard. | ||
| I said, what are you doing? | ||
| She said, I'm working on the egg roll. | ||
| I said, that sounds like a lot of fun. | ||
| And we're going to have a lot of fun in just a couple of minutes. | ||

You know, what a big surprise that a bunch of, a few leakers get fired and suddenly a bunch of hit pieces come out from the same media that peddled the Russia hopes. | |
| Won't give back their Pulitzers. | ||
| They got Pulitzers for a bunch of lies. | ||
| Pulitzers for a bunch of lies. | ||
| And on hoaxes. | ||
| Time and time and time again. | ||
| And as they peddle those lies, no one ever calls them on it. | ||
| See, this is what the media does. | ||
| They take anonymous sources from disgruntled former employees and then they try to slash and burn people and ruin their reputations. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Not going to work with me. | |
| Because we're changing the Defense Department, putting the Pentagon back in the hands of warfighters, and anonymous smears from disgruntled former employees on old news. | ||
| Doesn't matter. | ||
| So I'm happy to be here at the Easter Egg Roll with my dad and my kids. | ||
| Because, you know, this is what we're doing it for. | ||
| These kids right here. | ||
| This is why we're fighting the fake news media. | ||
| This is why we're fighting slash-and-burn Democrats. | ||
| This is why we're fighting hoaxters. | ||
| Hoaxters. This group, no, no, this group right here. | ||
| Full of hoaxers that peddle anonymous sources from leakers with axes to grind. | ||
| And then you put it all together as if it's some news story. | ||
| We know exactly what it is. | ||
| I hear they're doing that whole thing again. | ||
| Here we go again. | ||
| Just a waste of time. | ||

He is doing a great job. | |
| Heck, because he's doing a great job. | ||
| Ask the Hooties how he's doing. | ||
| Ask the Hooties how much this function adds. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There's none. | |
| Pete's doing a great job. | ||
| Everybody's happy with him. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We have the highest recruitment numbers I think they've had in 28 years. | |
| No, he's doing a great job. | ||
| It's just fake news. | ||
| It just brings up stories. | ||
| I guess it sounds like disgruntled employees. | ||
| You know, he was put there to get rid of a lot of bad people, and that's what he's doing. | ||
| So you don't always have friends when you do that. | ||
| Right now, the press secretary to President Trump is saying that he is sticking by Secretary Hegseth. | ||
| At the same time, we've heard Democrats call for him to be fired or resign. | ||
| And now we're hearing from Republican Congressman Don Bacon, the first Republican member of Congress. | ||
| The markets reacting to Donald Trump's ongoing onslaught of personal attacks and smears on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. | ||
| All three major stock indices experiencing major losses today. | ||
| The Dow Jones down more than 900 points. | ||
| The cause? | ||
| The dangerous one-man game of chicken that Donald Trump is playing with the job of the Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. | ||
| Shortly after markets opened today, Donald Trump called on Powell to cut interest rates and called him a, quote, major loser, end quote. | ||
| That smear came on the heels of Kevin Hassett, Donald Trump's director for the National Economic Council, telling reporters on Friday while markets were closed that the Trump administration is looking at possible ways to fire Jerome Powell. | ||
| He has said that publicly. | ||
| But the ongoing attacks and this direct attack on the institution that undergirds the entire American and, by extension, world economies, the institution that investors here and around the world look to and trust. | ||
| is leading to fears of a deepening economic crisis. | ||
| New York Times reports this. | ||
| The U.S. dollar continued its slide against nearly every other major currency. | ||
| It fell about 1% against the euro on Monday to the lowest in more than three years. | ||
| The dollar also fell against the Japanese yen to its lowest level since September. | ||
| The trend is even more stark against some other currencies. | ||
| The dollar at its lowest, it has been against the Swiss franc in more than a decade. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Senator, we are almost out of time, but as you know, tensions have been mounting between the president and the Fed chair. | |
| Would you support President Trump removing Jerome Powell as Fed chair? | ||
| I don't think the president, any president, has the right to remove the Federal Reserve chairman. | ||
| I think the Federal Reserve ought to be independent. | ||
| I think that Jay Powell and President Trump need to sit down and once again have a hug and a cup of hot cocoa and work it out. | ||
| My experience with Jay Powell is that he's got tiger butt. | ||
| He's gonna do what he thinks is right. | ||
| And he's not gonna go down in history as the Federal Reserve chairman that allowed inflation to become wild as a march hare. | ||
| And he's gonna do what he thinks he's got to do. | ||
| I just signed an executive order. | ||
| Putting the flags of our country, all of them, all federal flags and state flags, at half-mast in honor of Pope Francis. | ||
| So he was a good man, worked hard, he loved the world, and it's an honor to do that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We do want to mention here, we're just learning here at CNN, that President Trump will attend Pope Francis's funeral that Justin posted on his social media. | |
| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
| Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people. | ||
| I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people. | ||
| The people have had a belly full of it. | ||
| I know you don't like hearing that. | ||
| I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
| It's going to happen. | ||
| And where do people like that go to share the big lie? | ||
|

|
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? | |

War Room. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Band. | ||
| It's Monday, 21 April, Year of Alert 2025. | ||
| What a day. | ||
| Easter Monday. | ||
| You think it might be a little low-key? | ||
| We're going to watch the egg roll, the Easter egg roll. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| That was a story of itself. | ||
| I think 40,000 want to give a hat tip to RAF, to Real America's Voice, great coverage of the pool camera today, which is an honor in and of itself, particularly for a network that's fledgling, a new network, last couple of years. | ||
| but a big voice in MAGA punches way above its weight. | ||
| In every different direction, everything President Trump's trying to do, they are maximalists right now in coming for President Trump to try to stop him. | ||
| There's no other way you can say it. | ||
| Whether it's the courts, that's the one way they found the courts, the media, the financial community, the bond market, the color revolution in the streets. | ||
| You can take anything, you can take any vertical he's working on, whether it's mass deportations or his action as... | ||
| As Commander-in-Chief, everything about the unitary theory of the executive, or Article 2, as Mike Davis calls it. | ||
| His responsibilities and his fiduciary responsibilities under Article 2 to perform. | ||
| So everywhere we have, this is a 30-front war. | ||
| And we would love to narrow it down to a handful, but you can't. | ||
| There's so much going on, and some is not enough. | ||
| The great Tom Fitton is out there, and for Cash and Bongino and Pam Bondi, We say this as colleagues that want to assist that a sense of urgency about these investigations about the deep state. | ||
| It's because we've got to get it done now. | ||
| And that is so much what's coming after President Trump still. | ||
| Pete Hegseth, who's a good man and a fighter, has already instilled kind of a warrior ethos in the military, if not in the Pentagon. | ||
| The Pentagon and the military, to what they call manage or run the building, is very difficult. | ||
| I could tell this, not just my time with President Trump in this city to try to get some semblance of rationality in the defense budget, but in the years I worked in the Pentagon, I don't know, three and a half years, four years, when I came off of sea duty as a special assistant to the Chief of Naval Operations, | ||
| I got to see it at the highest level as a junior officer because I was working with the guys that ran the Navy at the time. | ||
| You could tell. | ||
| To control that, and that was back in 1981 under President Reagan, who went out of his way to support the military and really rebuild the military after the Vietnam War and eventually took down the evil empire through a series of just brilliantly coordinated actions. | ||
| In fact, the first film when I really got into filmmaking, In the Face of Evil, was off of Peter Schweitzer's book, Reagan's War. | ||
| Which really told about how he took down the evil empire. | ||
| It was quite sophisticated and quite brilliant. | ||
| It took a ton of steel spine and a lot of thought. | ||
| And to be very smart. | ||
| President Trump, the deep state is coming from President Trump like nobody's business. | ||
| This is one of the reasons we're going to have John Yep on later. | ||
| Mike Davis is going to join us about the Supreme Court, about this kind of judicial insurrection. | ||
| And Justice Alito giving us a heads up about exactly what's going on. | ||
| John Yep from Concerned Catholics. | ||
| Catholic Vote is going to be with us to talk about the situation. | ||
| President Trump has announced he's going to go to the funeral. | ||
| Flags are at half-staff. | ||
| President Trump respects the institution, said some nice words there about Pope Francis. | ||
| Clearly, the War Room does not share those feelings about Francis. | ||
| We think, in fact, the exact opposite. | ||
| We'll drill down more on that as the show goes on. | ||
| Natalie Winters. | ||
| Natalie, how was your egg roll today, ma'am? | ||
| Well, like I said earlier this morning, it was fantastic because there were no transgenders taking their shirts off and we actually celebrated Easter and not Transgender Day of Remembrance, whatever the heck that is. | ||
| But certainly a hat tip to the White House, just a wonderfully executed event. | ||
| And I'll say this, Steve, I know we hear that everybody hates Pete Hegseth and that, oh, everyone doesn't have any confidence in him. | ||
| Of all the administration officials that I saw earlier this morning walking around, he had the longest line. | ||
| People, even kids, wanting to get pictures with him, wanting to meet him. | ||
| And you could just see, which I think is reflected in the fact that we have, what, the highest recruitment in 28 years. | ||
| Morale is up. | ||
| Physical fitness is up. | ||
| People like him. | ||
| And despite the legacy media's best efforts, he's popular. | ||
| No. Natalie, I want to get to this. | ||
| You wrote an amazing op-ed piece over in the Daily Caller. | ||
| I want everybody to see it. | ||
| And if Grace and Moe make sure we want to push this out hard. | ||
| Before I get to that, I do want to stick on this Pete Hexas for a second because it's the deep state. | ||
| It's everywhere. | ||
| It's everywhere. | ||
| Marco Rubio is getting lit up over the weekend over the State Department. | ||
| Why? Secretary of State Rubio has come up with a plan that President Trump signed off on to basically start to deconstruct the State Department and take down the kind of statutory limits like Carrie Lake's doing over VOA. | ||
| They so hate it, they did the old thing, they went back to an EO that was kind of in draft form a while ago, and they leaked it to the New York Times. | ||
| Lead story all day. | ||
| Marco Rubio and Donald Trump destroy State Department. | ||
| Pete Hexas destroying the, you know, their watchword there is it's out of control, it's spinning out of control. | ||
| Chaos in the Pentagon. | ||
| Derek Harvey shows up for onboarding, just the meeting, the preliminary meeting to onboard this morning. | ||
| CBS News, Jennifer Jacobs, who's a great reporter, White House correspondent, used to be White House lead correspondent for Bloomberg. | ||
| She's got the scoop, the exclusive, that literally the NSC had dictated to her about Derek Harvey. | ||
| And then the whole city is, you know, and the intelligence meeting, oh my God, and the headline is MAGA-friendly intelligence officer goes in to rebuild the NSC with MAGA-friendly types. | ||
| They have thrown down so hard, Natalie. | ||
| On stopping Trump at every aspect. | ||
| The deep state is coming after him, are they not, ma'am? | ||
| Well, I think if there's anything we've learned from every single battle against congressional Republicans and CRs, whenever you hear them attacking you as spreading or fermenting chaos, right, the C word, that's something they love to hurl, not only do you know that it's probably an op coined by elites, | ||
| they're trying to make us scared of something that we really shouldn't be scared of, but more importantly, the chaos is welcomed chaos. | ||
| It's joyful chaos. | ||
| It's the destruction of the military industrial complex and the strengthening of our military. | ||
| Patriotic values and not DEI. | ||
| We can get into, I think, the context. | ||
| Who's attacking Pete Hegseth after the break? | ||
| But anytime you hear chaos, you should know. | ||
| These are the same people who want unity after President Trump was shot. | ||
| I'll take chaos. | ||
| I'll take chaos every day. | ||
| Chaos with a capital C. Okay, short commercial break. | ||
| Pow. The Federal Reserve Chair of the Central Bank, they're all over defending that. | ||
| President Trump. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Hassett, his head of National Economic Council, which is the equivalent of the NSC on the kind of the economic side, told the media, hey, we're looking at some alternatives. | ||
| You never know. | ||
| We're going to check it out. | ||
| It's like running in 2028. | ||
| Where there's a will, there's a way. | ||
| That's what we say here in the war room. | ||
| Gold finished at 3440. | ||
| Can't deny. | ||
| Gotta give you the facts. | ||
| Dollar is down. | ||

In America's heart. | |
| The court has ruled against the Trump administration once again on the issue of deportations. | ||
| Now, this case centered on a group of Venezuelan men being held in Texas. | ||
| The White House wants to deport them without due process, but the court temporarily blocked that in an apparent 7-2 decision. | ||
| Scott McFarland is outside the Supreme Court with the latest. | ||
| Scott, good morning to you. | ||
| What can you tell us? | ||
| Yeah, Gail, for now, the high court has halted more of these Alien Enemies Act deportations, but it's unclear how long that halt's going to last. | ||
| But it is clear the Trump administration is welcoming this fight. | ||
| The Trump administration is asking the Supreme Court to roll back its decision temporarily blocking the deportation of Venezuelan migrants being held in Texas. | ||
| The high court's order came in the early hours Saturday after the ACLU said the migrants got this paper saying you've been determined to be an alien enemy subject to apprehension, restraint, and removal from the United States. | ||
| But Justices Clarence Thomas and Sam Alito dissented from the majority. | ||
| Alito writing, the court issued unprecedented and legally questionable relief. | ||
| Among those deported last month using the Alien Enemies Act was Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was mistakenly put on the flight despite having protected status. | ||
| Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen met with him last week. | ||
| I was there to make sure that he was still alive and check on his health. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sunday, Van Hollen dominated the airwaves, blasting the Trump administration for defying a Supreme Court order to facilitate Abrego Garcia's return. | |
| My focus is not on one man. | ||
| It's on making sure one man's rights are secured so that we can uphold the rule of law. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The administration continues to argue Abrego Garcia is in Salvadoran custody and denies it's defying the court. | |
| I stand by the fact I think we did the right thing here. | ||
| We removed the public safety threat, a national security threat. | ||
| While some Republican lawmakers acknowledge the mistake. | ||
| The administration won't admit it, but this was a screw-up. | ||
| Mr. Garcia was not supposed to be sent to El Salvador. | ||
|
unidentified
|
A surprise over the weekend, Senator Van Hollen revealed before the Trump administration did, Abrego Garcia has been transferred from that terror prison to a nearby detention facility in El Salvador. | |
| Tony, the administration says, even if released back into U.S. custody, Abrego Garcia is not coming back to the U.S. Yeah, I'm not crazy about the not being a CECOT. | ||
| You're either there or you're not there. | ||
| Mike Davis, tons of false information there. | ||
| Here's my concern, Davis, and you called this. | ||
| With Justice Thomas and Alito. | ||
| Is there a civil war? | ||
| First off, it was released at 1 o'clock in the morning. | ||
| On something this important, that sounded odd. | ||
| Number two, I'm not sure. | ||
| I'm not a lawyer. | ||
| I don't pretend to play one. | ||
| Although I've got a major case of a review en banc at the appellate court. | ||
| It sounded odd. | ||
| It seemed like there were some pieces missing. | ||
| And then he had Alito come out with this kind of sharp edge, threw a couple of elbows on his, and that's not really his style that much, I don't think. | ||
| Are we have brewing a civil war on the Supreme Court about the direction of this country and the direction of the Trump presidency, sir? | ||
| This is a very disappointing ruling by the Supreme Court. | ||
| Now, remember, it's just a temporary order saying that the government can't ship out these Trendy Aragua and MS-13 terrorists until the court further rules. | ||
| But I don't know how the court even thinks it had jurisdiction to do what it did late on Friday night, on Good Friday. | ||
| You had these ACLU plaintiffs who essentially put a self-imposed deadline on the district court in Texas, giving the district court 45 minutes. | ||
| On Friday to rule, and then the ACLU move forward with an appeal to the Fifth Circuit, which divests the district court of jurisdiction. | ||
| And then the Fifth Circuit... | ||
| It has indicated it was getting ready to rule on this matter, and then the Supreme Court used the emergency docket impermissibly. | ||
| They didn't have jurisdiction to issue this stay under the All Writs Act. | ||
| I mean, Justice Alito's opinion is spot on, the opinion that Justice Thomas joined. | ||
| To me, it is a total head-scratcher that the three Trump justices who... | ||
| Made many assurances to the Trump administration that they're going to be constitutionalist and originalist and they're going to follow the law. | ||
| I don't think they did that on Good Friday. | ||
| I don't think they did that when they failed to join this opinion. | ||
| So you have to ask why. | ||
| Why was there such lawlessness and cowardice by the Supreme Court? | ||
| And this is a very important question because This goes to the heart of the Supreme Court's legitimacy. | ||
| President Trump campaigned on the fact that he is going to secure our border, and he's going to deport illegal immigrants. | ||
| They are all criminals, right? | ||
| He's going to especially focus on Trendyiragua, foreign terrorists, and MS-13 gangbangers. | ||
| And President Trump is doing exactly what he promised American voters he can do, and he's following. | ||
| The law. | ||
| It's these lawless judges on the district courts and now the lawless judges on the Supreme Court who are just making up the law as they're going. | ||
| They're essentially becoming judicial activists, telling the president that he has to halt planes. | ||
| How long are they going to hobble the president in his ability to get these foreign terrorists the hell out of our country? | ||
| What process? | ||
| And why are we so concerned about trendy Aragua terrorists? | ||
| Why can't they file habeas petitions? | ||
| So here's the bottom line. | ||
| This is what President Trump needs to do. | ||
| He needs to round up all these illegal immigrants. | ||
| He needs to detain them in Texas or Guantanamo or wherever he wants to detain them. | ||
| And then they can sit in that holding pen until the Supreme Court figures out what due process is due to these people. | ||
| My concern is you're the constitutional lawyer. | ||
| You come on, you do an amazing job. | ||
| You worked there. | ||
| You were a clerk there. | ||
| You were the guy that got people through. | ||
| You worked for Grassley for years. | ||
| You know the power politics of it. | ||
| Here's my concern, brother. | ||
| Is the Supreme Court starting to get rabbit ears? | ||
| Are they starting to listen to the firestorm that's outside because... | ||
| The only way they're stopping Trump right now to delay is to deny. | ||
| They understand the federal courts, and this is just going to get them. | ||
| You're going to see, just as we came on here, Harvard dropped a suit against President Trump. | ||
| You're now going to see dozens of suits every time we do something, because people feel that the Supreme Court blinked. | ||
| They feel that the Supreme Court is saying, we don't want to touch this, right? | ||
| We want it to go away. | ||
| Am I wrong there, sir? | ||
| No. No, you're not. | ||
| It depends on how they recover from this. | ||
| They blinked when they let... | ||
| Judge Oli, this Biden judge who got jammed through in the lame duck session after Trump won the White House and Republicans won the Senate, they jammed through Judge Oli, who's still a Canadian citizen, by the way. | ||
| I don't know how the heck that happens, but this guy sent $2 billion out the door under a temporary restraining order where President Trump could not do a national security review to make sure we're not funding Hamas terrorists in Gaza, right? | ||
| So that's where this activism really went on steroids, that the Supreme Court blinked and they blinked again on Good Friday because somehow they think it's acceptable to tell the president of the United States through an order. | ||
| I would say this. | ||
| If the Supreme Court in 2023 wrote an opinion authored by Justice Brett Kavanaugh that essentially said that Joe Biden has the discretion. | ||
| To give amnesty, to not follow our immigration laws. | ||
| Now, they'll come up with a better legal way to say it, but that's essentially how he ruled that the president has the discretion to how he wants to handle immigration, right? | ||
| So if Joe Biden had the discretion to let in 15 million illegal aliens who have robbed, kidnapped, raped, tortured, and murdered women and children... | ||
| in this country with Trendy Aragua and MS-13, but President Trump does not have the discretion to reverse that and get these people the hell out of our country. | ||
| We are going to lose our country. | ||
| If the president, at a minimum, cannot get rid of that tiny slither. | ||
| Of these 15 million illegal immigrants, we're not going to have a country left. | ||
| No, that. | ||
| Check right now. | ||
| Find out when that came across. | ||
| President, I think, just put something up on True Social I'm going to get to in a second. | ||
| So I'm going to juggle some people. | ||
| We're going to let you go, Mike. | ||
| I want to get this up and confirm that that just came across. | ||
| Mike, I want to get back to this in a second because I think the president just put something on True Social I want to read to you. | ||
| I want to go to what's happening in D.C. courts on taking down the oligarchs. | ||
| This is a historic week. | ||
| If nothing else, a historic week. | ||
| We have the Justice Department on top of Google in two separate major cases. | ||
| And you've got the FTC on top of Facebook. | ||
| And this is all to basically take these massive companies apart. | ||
| How do we stand this week, Mike Davis? | ||
| Look, President Trump started this antitrust law enforcement against these big tech platforms in his first term. | ||
| He saw that these big tech platforms, Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Apple, have gatekeeping power over information and commerce. | ||
| They've abused it in the past. | ||
| You cannot have monopolists on the free market. | ||
| They are the cancers on the free market. | ||
| The Google lawsuits. | ||
| He started the investigations. | ||
| He brought the Google search lawsuit, which the Biden Justice Department, to its credit, continued and won. | ||
| You have President Trump brought the online advertising monopoly lawsuit against Google, which is the lifeblood for Google. | ||
| That's the most important one. | ||
| And President Biden continued that. | ||
| President Trump, under Gail Slater and Pam Bondi, just won that trial. | ||
| Last week, and now we're in the remedies phase. | ||
| We have Andrew Ferguson, President Trump's FTC chairman, has Meta in trial, Mark Zuckerberg in trial, to divest Instagram and WhatsApp from Facebook because that's an illegal monopoly. | ||
| So it's really important. | ||
| I give President Trump great credit. | ||
| He has fought off the critics, and he is continuing these lawsuits that he started. | ||
| He's going after the oligarchs. | ||
| It's flat out. | ||
| Don't give me the oligarchy tour on a party that has done nothing but build up the oligarchs. | ||
| Trump filed Facebook in the closing days of the first term. | ||
| Lina Khan, the great Lina Khan, made it actually a better suit and passed it on to Ferguson. | ||
| And he's drilling it, man. | ||
| You're talking about bringing the country together? | ||
| How could you bring the country together? | ||
| Mike, hang on. | ||
| Major announcement by President Trump on True Social. | ||
| We're going to hold Mike Davis over for a few minutes as we go through it. | ||
| Even as we were doing the segment, the President of the United States came out in full support of the Mike Davis War Room. | ||
| Angle of attack on this. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| John Yep, traditional Catholic, and Natalie G. Winters. | ||
| All next in the War Room. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann. | |
| Okay, as we were doing that segment with the viceroy, Mike Davis, President Trump put up a true social post as we were speaking, and I'm going to quote for it. | ||
| I'm doing what I was elected to do, remove criminals from our country, but the courts don't seem to want me to do that. | ||
| My team is fantastic, doing an incredible job. | ||
| However, they are being stymied at every turn by even the U.S. Supreme Court, which I have such great respect for, but which seemingly doesn't want me to send violent criminals and terrorists back to Venezuela or any other country for that matter. | ||
| People that came here illegally. | ||
| The courts are intimidated by the radical left who are playing the ref. | ||
| That's in quotes. | ||
| Great Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito correctly wants to dissolve the pause on the deportations. | ||
| He is right on this. | ||
| If we don't get these criminals out of our country, we are not going to have a country any longer. | ||
| We cannot give everyone a trial because to do so would take, without exaggeration, 200 years. | ||
| We would need hundreds of thousands of trials for the hundreds of thousands of illegals we are sending out of the country. | ||
| Such a thing is not possible to do. | ||
| What a ridiculous situation we are in. | ||
| Make America great again. | ||
| Mike Davis, the Vice-Roy, your thoughts, sir? | ||
| Yeah. Remember at the peak of this Biden invasion, there were 30,000 illegal immigrants coming into our country per day. | ||
| There's just no chance you can have trials or even many trials for each one of these people. | ||
| And think about it. | ||
| Why would you need a trial? | ||
| The president has a constitutional duty to repel a sudden invasion as the commander-in-chief. | ||
| And that is exactly what's happening here. | ||
| This is an invasion of America. | ||
| This is an illegal invasion of America. | ||
| And this idea that you could have this invading army of... | ||
| MS-13 terrorists and trendy Aragua terrorists and the president has to go through a district court proceeding to get them the hell out of our country. | ||
| That's just not how our Constitution is supposed to work. | ||
| As Justice Alito correctly pointed out in his statements about the court's ruling on Friday, this is lawless what the Supreme Court is doing. | ||
| It's also dangerous. | ||
| They are sabotaging the president's ability to protect our country. | ||
| Let me ask you, because you know these people personally, when someone that reveres the institution of the Supreme Court and the law has given so much of his life to the Supreme Court, calls it the decision lawless, | ||
| how big a deal is that, sir? | ||
| It's absolutely lawless, and I stand by what I said. | ||
| It's lawless, and it's also cowardice, in addition to being dangerous. | ||
| There is no way that the Supreme Court had jurisdiction on Friday night to issue the order that it did. | ||
| The district court had not ruled. | ||
| The ACLU only gave the district court 45 minutes to rule, as if the ACLU's running the court, not the judge. | ||
| This is on Good Friday. | ||
| The Fifth Circuit had not ruled. | ||
| They're using the All Writs Act at the Supreme Court, which is not applicable here. | ||
| And there's just—there's no reason why the Supreme Court—this is what I want to say to these judges, these justices, and I've said this to them many times. | ||
| Judges wear robes, not capes. | ||
| It is their job to decide cases and controversies of the parties properly before them with redressable claims. | ||
| That is their Article 3 standing. | ||
| They are not superheroes who fly around the country and write what they think is a wrong. | ||
| That is not their job as a judge. | ||
| They have a more modest but crucial job as a judge. | ||
| And it's not to be a superhero, no matter how delusional they think they are. | ||
| Mike Davis, where do people go for Article 3? | ||
| Because they need to go to Article 3, get engaged, because we need to get up and get our voice into the House, into the Senate, to let folks know exactly where we are in these issues, sir. | ||
| Yeah, and just one last point. | ||
| I hope the Supreme Court justices understand this is the last chance to save our country. | ||
| If we do not get these illegal immigrants out of our country, we're not going to have a country left to save. | ||
| And you can go to Article 3 projects. | ||
| Articlenumber3project.org. | ||
| You can donate there, follow us on social media, and take action. | ||
| This is, I want to just, one last thing for you, Bounce. | ||
| And this is why I gave the speech in Pinehurst now, almost two years ago, or a year and a half ago. | ||
| And I said the convergence of having to cut, make major cuts from federal spending, coupled with deportation, mass deportation of 10 million people. | ||
| Mike, these are the easy ones. | ||
| These are the ones that are not close calls. | ||
| These are the ones that criminals, gang members, raped, I mean, the worst of the worst. | ||
| And look at what the Democrats are defending politically. | ||
| Look at the side they're taking on MSNBC. | ||
| You had a U.S. senator go down there, and CNN braced him up over the weekend. | ||
| Dana Bash just asked him a couple times, hey, you were there, did you ever ask him if he was a gang member? | ||
| Uh, no, it's not about that. | ||
| And then you give some long-winded answer. | ||
| On due process. | ||
| And she comes back and she goes, yeah, I understand that, but did you actually ask him? | ||
| He was a member of MS-13. | ||
| And the guy couldn't, Von Holland couldn't run away quick enough. | ||
| Right? They don't want to face what the facts are, but go ahead. | ||
| Did they see the MS-13 tattoos on the guy's knuckles? | ||
| I mean, here's the deal with the Supreme Court. | ||
| You're exactly right, Steve. | ||
| This case is so easy, and the fact that the Supreme Court made this complicated shows you that a lot of these justices do not have the fortitude to do their job. | ||
| Sir, thank you so much, and thank you for Article 3. Your efforts are amazing. | ||
| Thank you, sir. | ||
| Natalie Winters, your piece. | ||
| President Trump, when you see AOC, and now she's like the overwhelming, you know, polling lead to head the Democratic Party. | ||
| Hey, I love it. | ||
| Do it. | ||
| When she's doing the oligarchy tour, and President Trump is taking down the oligarch apparatus in federal courts, one in Northern Virginia, one in D.C. on Google, they take them apart. | ||
| In addition to Zuckerberg, with Zuckerberg being a supplicant to him. | ||
| To take apart Facebook. | ||
| It's heroic. | ||
| No one's ever done that. | ||
| Ever. President Trump is doing it and doing it right now. | ||
| Of course, they don't want to talk about it. | ||
| They don't want to give him any credit. | ||
| But it gets back to also the platforms and the apparatus of censorship. | ||
| This is the reason they could censor us, right? | ||
| To take us to de-platform. | ||
| It didn't stop the growth of the show, but this is what they try to do. | ||
| Natalie Winters. | ||
| Well, and let's link it all together. | ||
| I think the growth of new media, the growth of shows like War Room is not just inextricably linked to the legacy media, not just failing at their jobs, but intentionally colluding and collaborating in some cases with government-backed censorship operations. | ||
| But it's a result of weak Republicans, right? | ||
| War Room wouldn't have to step up and stand in the breach if elected Republicans at every level of government were doing the things that we were actually hammering them to do. | ||
| I think immigration is probably the best example of this. | ||
| It's sort of what we get into in this piece, which has to do with the idea that the same elites who, for what? | ||
| How many years couldn't cover anything going on down at the southern border, right? | ||
| They didn't care about 10 million-plus illegal aliens. | ||
| Let's ask Bear Stearns. | ||
| It's a lot higher than that. | ||
| But now they're triggered by a couple of new media reporters entering the White House briefing room, right? | ||
| The same briefing room that you need an ID to get in, that they have beautiful walls and security protecting them, right? | ||
| These are the same liars who have hid behind really an Orwellian censorship industrial complex for how many years they've been calling our audience nativists and xenophobes for saying, you know what? | ||
| Sorry, in my version of the social contract theory, I don't think my own government should be working to replace me and suppress my wages with immigration policy. | ||
| But now they have a couple of new media. | ||
| I think an MS-13 member, I say this truly, we saw the questions they were asking about Kilmar Garcia. | ||
| he would be better received than most members of MAGA. | ||
| They will treat MS-13 with more nuance, frankly, dignity, than they have members of the MAGA movement, than the way that they treated President | ||
| It is absolutely, absolutely reprehensible, and it goes back to the core issue of why we all got involved in this fight. | ||
| Just like the establishment wing of the Republican Party doesn't get to dictate what our policy is on immigration, the media elites who are all walking behind me, and I hope they can hear me, they don't get to dictate what the American people are doing. | ||
| We're going to be force-fed about what the Overton window is going to be when it comes to immigration. | ||
| I don't care about MS-13 members getting deported. | ||
| I hope they have very uncomfortable flights. | ||
| I don't care if they're on the wrong ones. | ||
| I give zero, you know what. | ||
| What I do care about is legal immigration, getting these people deported, and that's what they should be asking about. | ||
| Not acting like PETA commercial actors over an illegal triple threat, an illegal alien, a woman beater, and a gang member. | ||
| But I guess that's apparently who these people support. | ||
| It's outrageous, disgusting, and I say for the Supreme Court folks, these are the easy ones. | ||
| Ten million illegal aliens here, they all have to go home, just have to. | ||
| Natalie, before I let you go, in your social media, what table you're sitting at at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday night, and have you already RSVP'd for all the highfalutin brunches that are taking place on Saturday and Sunday, | ||
| ma'am? | ||
| I think I'd probably rather hang out with MS-13, and that says a lot. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I won't be attending that, and I don't think I'm invited. | |
| But you know what I will say, Steve? | ||
| Unlike the illegal aliens that are in this country, the 10 million, they may be going home. | ||
| They're going to be leaving this country. | ||
| New media, myself, war room. | ||
| We are not going anywhere. | ||
| Natalie G. Winters, where are they going to get this great piece you put up on Daily Caller? | ||
| I want everybody to read it. | ||
| Where do they go? | ||
| You can go to my Twitter, get the link, Natalie G. Winters. | ||
| Thank you, as always, for having me. | ||
| Yep, and I want to thank the Daily Caller. | ||
| It's an amazing piece. | ||
| If Grace and Mo can put you in, I want everybody to read this. | ||
| Natalie, thank you so much. | ||
| Appreciate you. | ||
| It's supposed to be a slow news day today. | ||
| We're going to do the egg roll. | ||
| Melania was fantastic there. | ||
| Pete was great there. | ||
| In fact, in the second hour, I want to play the Pete thing again. | ||
| We're going to get into Pete Hegseth and all this. | ||
| They're trying to put the White House under siege. | ||
| It's not going to happen. | ||
| John Yep. | ||
| You run one of the more traditional, conservative, Catholic organizations. | ||
| We've got a couple minutes here, and I'm going to hold you through the break. | ||
| Your assessment of particularly the response of the traditional Catholic community to not simply the death of Bergoglio, but also the upcoming conclave, sir. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm flashing a warning light right now because the most dangerous thing, we have three options essentially for the next pope. | |
| Option one, we get a good guy, great guy, amazing, like Leo XIII, right? | ||
| Could be Cardinal Burke. | ||
| Second option, that's the worst. | ||
| Stop, stop, stop, stop. | ||
| I gotta stop this. | ||
| I gotta stop it. | ||
| Hold it. | ||
| We're gonna get Leo XIII. | ||
| That's an option? | ||
| You're telling me that's an option? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, I mean like... | |
| We're gonna get the guy that took on modernity? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? No, no, no. | |
| So we would see him in a person like Cardinal Raymond Burke, right? | ||
| So that'd be like the best option, perhaps. | ||
| Cardinal Burke or Cardinal Seurat, right? | ||
| Like that's what we're all dreaming for, obviously, right? | ||
| Probably not going to happen. | ||
| The second option kind of thing and scenario is you have the absolute worst, like a Cardinal Perlin, right? | ||
| Secretary of State who orchestrated the China deal. | ||
| But my point is the worst of the three options would be to get... | ||
| What appears to be just a moderate, someone who's just going to treat us nicely and kick us in the corner, behave. | ||
| I'm telling you, that is the danger light that needs to be flashing through every traditional or real Catholic around the world because it will lull us back to sleep. | ||
| That's the problem. | ||
| Hang on, I'm holding you through the break. | ||
| I want everybody to know, I did not get a chance to talk to Yep before he came on. | ||
| I think the world of these guys and their institution. | ||
| But that's exactly the warning I was trying to give today to Liz Yore and to Posobiec and to Ben Harnwell. | ||
| It's not that we don't have to. | ||
| We have to represent in a show and force. | ||
| We're actually putting together a team that's going to cover this wall-to-wall from the Vatican and around the country. | ||
| But John Yep just nailed it right there. | ||
| The danger here for traditional Catholics is to be lulled into something where they have a moderate or this guy's centrist or kind of right, and you just get put in a corner. | ||
| Right now, the traditional side of the Catholic Church is on fire. | ||
| I mean, the growth, the young people, the priests coming into it, both the Latin mask and other traditional Catholic groups are really taking a stand. | ||
| They've taken a stand in the last couple of years, and people have seen in that fight for their religion and their church are rallying around it. | ||
| The worst thing that can happen right now is lose that momentum, lose that fight, lose that dedication, lose the sense of urgency in your agency. | ||
| You can't lose it. | ||
| John Yep's going to join us on the other side. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| We'll be back in the warm in just a minute. | ||
| We will fight till they're all gone. | ||

We rejoice when there's no more. | |
| Let's take down the CCP. | ||
| Carissimi fratelli e sorelli. | ||
| Dear brothers and sisters, with deep sorrow, I must announce the death of our Holy Father Francis. | ||
| At 7.35 this morning, the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the house of the Father. | ||
| His entire life was dedicated to the service of the Lord and His Church. | ||
| He taught us to live the values of the Gospel with fidelity, courage, and universal love, especially toward the poorest and most marginalized. | ||
| With immense gratitude for his example as a true disciple, We're continuing to watch Vatican City this Easter Monday, where thousands have gathered to mourn Pope Francis, | ||
| the first Latin American pontiff who passed away this morning at the age of 88, just hours after he made a surprise Easter Sunday appearance to bless the faithful in St. Peter's Square. | ||
| According to the Vatican doctor, Pope Francis died of a stroke and irreversible heart failure. | ||
| We're going to talk about his legacy as a reformer, including his fight for a more inclusive Roman Catholic Church, his risk of political backlash, especially when advocating for migrants and directly criticizing the Trump administration, his condemnation of the wars in Gaza and Ukraine, | ||
| And his pushing of pagan ideology, to be brutally frank, he brought the people from the... | ||
| From the Amazon up to basically have a pagan ceremonies done. | ||
| And Ben Harnwell nailed it today. | ||
| The pagans had more respect and more sincerity in their pagan rituals than Francis' crew had with traditional Catholic rituals. | ||
| John Yep, you're 100% correct. | ||
| You're the first guy... | ||
| Other than myself to nail this, which is the get lulled into, which the media is going to drive. | ||
| And I'll have more about this later. | ||
| We're going to do it every day because this is central to the salvation of our country. | ||
| The institutions are important and particularly the institutions of Christianity, both the... | ||
| Protestant, mainstream Protestant churches, which are pretty far gone, is being woke. | ||
| The evangelical movement right now, which is such a powerhouse and such an underpinning of the MAGA movement, that's splintering. | ||
| Probably 20% of the evangelical movement, or 10% or 15%, at least, of the preachers are woke or to the left. | ||
| And the Catholic traditional, the regular Catholic church is a nightmare. | ||
| It's the traditional Catholics that are coming back, particularly young people, led by groups like yours, Yep. | ||
| They're doing this. | ||
| Yep, I want you to stay through six, but right now, what are your thoughts? | ||
| How important is this the next 30 to 60 days for particularly these young people that are coming back into the church and really coming in as traditional Catholics, either converting or just coming back to their religion and the faith that they've lost, | ||
|
unidentified
|
sir? Note that statistic. | |
| We've had this huge influx of these traditionalists when... | ||
| In the pontificate of Pope Francis, okay? | ||
| A lot of those groups have risen up precisely during this time. | ||
| They did not come about at a time where, again, we had maybe a more moderate pope, right? | ||
| So this has favored us in terms of rising up. | ||
| We absolutely need that. | ||
| I'm glad you also brought up crew, Pope Francis' crew. | ||
| At the beginning of the segment, who do we hear from? | ||
| Arnold Kevin Farrell. | ||
| He's literally the guy in charge of the Vatican right now. | ||
| He is a former legionary of Christ, my former order. | ||
| This is the guy who drove Father Maciel Maciel around and then was in an apartment with McCarrick for six years in D.C. He's orchestrating things right now in terms of the lead-up to the conquest. | ||
| I like that. | ||
| Ask those details. | ||
| Just to remind people what we're up against, okay? | ||
| They have a scheme in mind. | ||
| Yes, God is greater, and we're going to use prayer and obviously the power of just public pressure, like we can as laypeople, to make our voices heard. | ||
| But cannot, absolutely cannot have a moderate hope who will put us back to sleep. | ||
| 100%. Yep, just hang on for a second if you can. | ||
| In the next hour, we've got so much to go through. | ||
| Pete Hegseth. | ||
| Also, Democrats are down outside of Seacott. | ||
| You know, they're supporting criminal terrorists. | ||
| It's unbelievable. | ||
| The Democratic Party is so radical. | ||
| Plus, Bobby Kennedy, there are many rays of light. | ||
| There's so much good and positive stuff that's happening out of President Trump. | ||
| We're going to get on top of that. | ||
| Particularly just amazing stuff coming out of Health and Human Services. | ||
| Amazing stuff coming out of every department. | ||
| These folks are working and you should, if you want to pray also. | ||
| Pray for the team at the White House. | ||
| Pray for the team in these agencies. | ||
| It is 24-7. | ||
| I'm back here, and I'm tired, and I don't have 1 50th of the pressure you have in the White House or in these agencies right now. | ||
| These folks are working 16, 18 hours a day and being attacked viciously in every aspect of their life. | ||
| Mike Lindell, brother, you know what it's like to try to put you out of business, put you in jail, bankrupt you, smear you, you're broke, you're crying in court, you're a broken man, your company's terrible, everybody's leaving, all your customers are leaving, | ||
| all the big box stores. | ||
| Any truth to that, sir? | ||
| Absolutely not, everybody. | ||
| We continue to fight, fight, fight, and to secure our election platforms, and the media likes to lie. | ||
| Oh, he's crying in court, and he's been ruined. | ||
| What I told him was lawfare. | ||
| They've been trying to ruin me with their lawfare, but it's not going to silence me. | ||
| And what are we doing? | ||
| That happens to everybody. | ||
| We run specials to the war room. | ||
| When they cancel us, that's your game. | ||
| And this is the last few hours of the one I ran over the weekend. | ||
| My employees, every day, Today, they make our feature product, which is MyPillow Premium, now made with Giza cotton. | ||
| And we've sold almost $84 million. | ||
| This is the lowest price and will be the lowest price in history. | ||
| And it goes away in a few hours. | ||
| $17, king or queen size of the bed pillows. | ||
| You guys, any loft level. | ||
| Remember, they come in four different loft levels. | ||
| You go, you can get fitted online. | ||
| Or call my operators, 800-873-1062. | ||
| They will custom fit you. | ||
| People don't realize that MyPillow, they're custom fit based on your frame size. | ||
| You guys, $17, any size, or go to MyPillow.com. | ||
| And go down to your CC, click on them. | ||
| There they are, the $17 pillows. | ||
| But don't forget, we're still closing out that per kill bed sheet line that the box stores did cancel. | ||
| $25 there, any size. | ||
| Any color, there's 11 colors to choose from. | ||
| California kings, split kings, kings, queens, it doesn't matter. | ||
| A flat $25, you guys are getting the benefit of their cancellation. | ||
| So, can't thank you enough, War Room Posse, but don't believe the fake news. | ||
| My pillow, they ain't going anywhere. | ||
| And you know what, Steve? | ||
| They can keep attacking. | ||
| Don't you think they've learned after four years that I'm never going to shut up about these election platforms? | ||
| You'd think they would know it, right? | ||
| Never. But they don't care. | ||

They keep attacking, attacking, attacking. | |
