| His fiduciary responsibility, as Mike Davis tells me, not the unitary theory of the executive, but his Article II powers as commander-in-chief, which the courts are fighting, we have Mike here today talk, he couldn't do. | ||
| So, Eric, don't you agree we should have a formal investigation of the last two years of Biden's administration? | ||

100 billion percent. | |
| Very thorough. | ||
| Absolutely. 100 billion percent. | ||
| That should be job number one. | ||
| Because that threatened to take the country down as much as anything that they, you know, are... | ||
| Pointing a finger at Trump for doing it. | ||
| I'll let you guys go and jump on it and love being with you. | ||
| See, I learned something. | ||
| I learned that the Rumble chat is tougher than some of the other chats on our house. | ||
| The Rumble chat, man. | ||
| Hey, the Rumble chat is men only, although there's a lot of women in there. | ||
| High sticking is allowed. | ||
|

|
High sticking. | |
| Got it. | ||
| Got it. | ||
| You're against the boards. | ||
| Expect one of those Rumble folks to hit you, right? | ||
| Got it. | ||
| Take it away, friends. | ||
| Appreciate you, Eric. | ||

See you tomorrow. | |
| Thank you. | ||
| Hey, you never know in Mr. Rogers, in Mr. Bannon's neighborhood, who's going to drop by. | ||
| The Viceroy is in the house. | ||
| We've got a great cold open. | ||
| We've got a lot to report on today. | ||
| Everything from the antitrust trials, President Trump's magnificent Justice Department, at least in that area, on top of it, plus a bunch of bizarre court rulings today. | ||
| We've got a great cold open. | ||
| Let's hit it, Denver. | ||
| Steve Bannon was on with... | ||
| Chris Cuomo, who's trying to rehab himself and act like a patriot, which is another sign of how hardcore we're winning. | ||
| I don't like Cuomo and don't trust him, but look what his brother did and all the rest of it. | ||
| But my point is, here they are talking about actual tax increases on the rich and getting rid, and the White House is very serious, of taxes on people making $200,000, $300,000 a year or below. | ||
| And that will supercharge the economy. | ||
| People under that tax bracket pay a very small percent overall of the taxes. | ||
| But bigger than that, the globalists have all this offshore systems beyond other countries where they set it up where none of the money ever comes back to begin with. | ||
| So Trump's looking at all of this, and this is real populism, and that's what Trump's always stood for. | ||
| So here is an excerpt of that, but this is really exciting, and you need to send this report. | ||
| To your friends and family that are still leftist, to understand they want real prosperity, join the team. | ||
| Here it is. | ||
| If you want to motivate people to actually start cutting federal spending and telling politicians this has got to be cut, this thing's ridiculous right now, the trillion dollars we spend in the Defense Department, and I'm a hawk that was eight years a naval officer. | ||
| My daughter went to West Point and served in Iraq, so I'm not a dove. | ||
| You've got to cut the defense budget. | ||
| It can't be a trillion dollars. | ||
| Agreed. If you want to incentivize people to do it, you've got to let them pay for it. | ||
| When they start paying for it, all of a sudden they're going, well, hang on. | ||
| You're telling me working class people in the middle class got this tax cut and we did? | ||
| Yeah, exactly what I'm telling you. | ||
| And by the way, exactly what I'm telling you. | ||
| And until you start telling these politicians we have to work together to make reasonable cuts, that we have to get together, the country's now on an unsustainable path. | ||
| And trust me, the people down at the bottom are gonna pay the most. | ||
| The people that are the backbone of this nation. | ||
| The left, the globalists want everybody poor except a tiny elite. | ||
| Trump is moving to get rid of the income tax for most Americans and get rid of the hidden tax write-offs and exemptions that the ultra-rich have. | ||
| This is the true American system. | ||
| This is populism. | ||
| This is the winning combination. | ||
|

|
What was supposed to be America's quote golden age of prosperity, at least according to many financial analysts, is off to an historically rocky start. | |
| Right now the markets are recovering from yesterday's big sell-off on Wall Street triggered by the president's continued attacks against Fed Chair Jerome Powell. | ||
| But we want to zoom out for a moment and look at the headlines about where things stand three months into Donald Trump's presidency and his self-induced trade war. | ||
| The clock is ticking for the White House to negotiate literally dozens of trade deals before that 90-day tariff pause expires. | ||
| So far, not a single one has materialized. | ||
| The Dow is headed for its worst April since We're good to | ||
| go. I have this on camera, but she sent over notes in which Secretary Besant is indicating that the direct engagement, actual negotiations with China, have not yet started, but at the same time suggested that both sides understand that this is not a long-term solution, | ||
| and that having tariffs at 125%, 145% is not good for anybody involved, and that he expects, to note, de-escalation to come soon, remarking that there is going to... | ||
| be a moment here over the next weeks in which there is going to be engagement and that there is a a | ||
| I think it's notable remarks at the same time Christine went through this during the first Trump administration. | ||
| The negotiation with China, as the Secretary points out, it's a slog. | ||
| And so what are the details? | ||
| What does engagement look like? | ||
| When does that engagement begin? | ||
| There's a lot of outstanding questions. | ||

Harvard University is taking the Trump administration to court, filing a lawsuit late last night accusing the government of violating its First Amendment rights. | |
| Harvard is challenging the government's decision to freeze $2.2 billion in funds meant for educational advancements. | ||
| Joining us now, NBC News correspondent Antonia Hilton and MSNBC legal correspondent Lisa Rubin. | ||
| Antonia, I want to start with you. | ||
| What has the reaction to this Harvard lawsuit been from the White House? | ||
| What more can you tell us about how they're reacting? | ||
| Well, Linda McMahon, the education secretary, actually spoke to some of our colleagues at CNBC, and she said that she basically hopes right now that Harvard's going to come back to the table to negotiate with them. | ||
| And she advanced the argument that they've been making for many weeks now, which is that this is all about anti-Semitism on college campuses, about trying to use this leverage to make college campuses safer. | ||
| You know, Harvard's lawsuit is really arguing that what they're trying to do to schools like Harvard has very little to do with what is happening on those college campuses in the first place and very little to do with anti-Semitism. | ||
| I'll read a little bit of a statement, though, that we got from the White House. | ||
| It reads, in part, the gravy train of federal assistance to institutions like Harvard, which enrich their grossly overpaid bureaucrats with tax dollars from struggling American families is coming to an end. | ||
| You know, I think one of the things that's important to note, at least in the case of Harvard, though, is that the money that is at risk here, the billions of dollars that was flowing to them, this is stuff that goes to, say, life-saving cancer research, the development of drugs millions of Americans and people around the world depend on. | ||
| Alzheimer's research, that's what's at risk here. | ||
| Not exactly the enrichment of bureaucrats. | ||
| And a lot of this money was flowing to hospitals like the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and other research groups and organizations that, again, really have almost nothing to do with the classic images you're seeing right there of the Harvard campus, undergraduate life, debates over the war in Gaza. | ||
| And it has everything to do with, again, research and medicine that is critical for many of us. | ||
| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
| Pray for our enemies. | ||
| Because we're going medieval on these people. | ||
| The reason 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 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? | |

War Room. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Band. | ||
| It's Tuesday, 22 April, Year of Our Lord, 2025. | ||
| The Viceroy joins me. | ||
| So much to go through. | ||
| First off, thank you. | ||
| You go do your Fox Business hit, and then you wander over here. | ||
| You wander over between here and Happy Hour at Butterworth. | ||
| You stop by the War Room. | ||
| Is that where we are? | ||
| I am a media streetwalker. | ||
| What have we created here? | ||
| Viceroy, there's so much to go through. | ||
| I want to start with the Harvard and the university system. | ||
| The commonality, because they always bunch them with the law firms cratering and now the university's cratering, Harvard's trying to punch back. | ||
| The connective tissue here is massive amount of federal money going to the law firm's clients and the law firms themselves for their work. | ||
| And Harvard and the Ivy Leagues and the public Ivies are living off $2, $3, $4, $5 billion a year of taxpayer money. | ||
| And when anybody wants to hold them accountable to that, because I think it's much deeper than anti-Semitism. | ||
| I think it gets to the whole neo-Marxist, and I would like to see the faculties purge and the administrators purge. | ||
| They're in total meltdown on MSNBC and the New York Times. | ||
| Your thoughts, sir? | ||
| I love... | ||
| That President Trump is going after the left's institutions. | ||
| They're sacred cows. | ||
| We have... | ||
| And nothing more sacred to them than colleges and universities. | ||
| Harvard is their... | ||
| Tenure. Tenure. | ||
| Harvard is their Vatican. | ||
| And Trump is sacking the Vatican. | ||
| And it's quite wonderful to watch. | ||
| This is like the Visigoths. | ||
| Yes. Right? | ||
| 456 A.D. Yes. | ||
| Right? The Moors. | ||
| So I would say this to Harvard. | ||
| You have a huge... | ||
| Amount of money in your endowments, why do you need federal funds? | ||
| And if you're going to take federal funds, there are going to be strings attached to those federal funds. | ||
| You can't discriminate against your conservative students. | ||
| You can't discriminate against your Jewish students. | ||
| If you're going to take the money, then you're going to play by the rules. | ||
| But it's more than anti-Semitism. | ||
| Yes, that has to be a given, and you've got to do that. | ||
| It's broader than just that. | ||
| These universities are out of control. | ||
| These are hotbed of of revolutionary ideas by this woke Marxist faculty that have tenure on taxpayer money and the administrators. | ||
| That's why I think there would be a purge of the faculty senates. | ||
| I'm glad to see that the Big Ten is so worried about what Ben has been saying here. | ||
| They just announced a compact that they're all going to hang together instead of me just singling out the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. | ||
| I didn't pick on Iowa. | ||
| Don't mess with Iowa. | ||
| Well, that's not a hotbed of radicalism, right? | ||
| Well, there's a bunch of left-wing lunatics there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There are. | |
| Even that's pretty woke. | ||
| Oh, for sure. | ||
| I went to a land-grant VPI, and that is a hotbed of woke right now. | ||
| I started students for George W. Bush at the University of Iowa. | ||
| Not exactly a fascist, and I was called a fascist and got death threats. | ||
| Back in 2000. | ||
| 1999 to 2000. | ||
| Look, these universities have been wasting our money. | ||
| And churning out uneducated kids with useless degrees for decades. | ||
| And China is going to clean our clock. | ||
| They're actually training people to be doctors and scientists and engineers. | ||
| And we're training people with these DEI degrees that can't even get them jobs at Starbucks. | ||
| And they can't pay it. | ||
| They got a trillion dollars for the debt they won't pay back. | ||
| Yeah. And we're supposed to pay it back for them. | ||
| Do you think President Trump takes his foot off the gas, either in the law firms or the universities? | ||
| I hope not, because you know what? | ||
| When you have the rats cornered, you shoot'em. | ||
| - Talk to me about the Supreme Court. | ||
| Any updates of your feelings on that? | ||
| After the break, we're actually gonna play a clip on the cold open, the break when we come back, another radical decision today. | ||
| Is the left winning because they are slowing us down? | ||
| And every time we turn around, you're in another four or five lawsuits coming on every action President Trump wants to take. | ||
| - Yeah, they are winning right now, short term. | ||
| - They are, because of this. | ||
| - Because of their, look, slowing the president, he has... | ||
| He has four years to get a lot done. | ||
| President Trump has four years. | ||
| And about a 30% chance to save our country. | ||
| And if he does not get this accomplished in the next four years, our country's done. | ||
| We've been overtaking all these institutions, including the military, have been overtaken by these Marxists. | ||
| They're subversive. | ||
| They're doing everything they can every day to destroy our country. | ||
| It's driven by Obama. | ||
| It's driven by Soros. | ||
| It's driven by China. | ||
| And if we do not, if President Trump does not succeed in these next four years, it's game over, America. | ||
| But this is, you connect the universities, these radical universities, which are part of the formation of these kids, the law firms, and what's happening in the radical judiciary. | ||
| It's all connective tissue all the way back. | ||
| That's why you've got to break the universities. | ||
| You have to break these law firms. | ||
| You have to bring them to heel. | ||
| And you're going to have to do something about these courts. | ||
| We're going to talk about that in the next segment. | ||
| Birch Gold, Golden Day, went down below 3,400. | ||
| The market went up 1,000. | ||
| And all they're talking about... | ||
| And the rest of the media is President Trump, how the economy's out of control. | ||
| It's being out of control. | ||
| One small mention by Scott Besson, picked up by Katie Doyle, that we're going to de-escalate in the economic war because, hey, you can't keep 140% terrorists forever. | ||
| We're essentially in an embargo right now of the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| Something's going to be figured out. | ||
| President Trump right now, I think India, Japan, Korea, you've got a bunch of these countries in East Asia, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, Taiwan, all very close to terms agreed, at least laying out the architecture of a deal. | ||
| Make sure you understand it all, particularly how the BRICS nations are trying to work to de-dollarize. | ||
| The world's economy, led by the Chinese Communist Party, the end of the dollar empire. | ||

| Find out what drives the market for gold. | ||
| Short break. | ||
| The Vice Royals in the house. | ||
| Next. They have everything you can have. | ||
| Don't forget, as an example, the European Union was set up to take advantage of the United States. | ||
| That's why it was set. | ||
| And they've done that, but they're not doing that anymore. | ||

|
Will you prevent Hamas from having any role in governing a post-war Gaza? | |
| Will Hamas have to be permanently eradicated for a ceasefire? | ||
| Well, we're not going to let Hamas do that. | ||
| And we're going to see what happens with Gaza. | ||
| But we've made a lot of progress in the Middle East. | ||
| Tremendous. Should have never happened. | ||
| That date, that very special date, October 7th, should have never happened. | ||
| It would have never happened if I were president. | ||
| But we'll be stopping that whole situation. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, please. | |
| Treasury Secretary Dustin suggested that the tariff rate as high as they are now is effectively an embargo of trade between the United States and China. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| 145 percent is very high. | ||
| And it won't be that high. | ||
| It's not going to be that high. | ||
| It got up to there. | ||
| We were talking about fentanyl, where, you know, various elements built it up to 145. | ||
| No, it won't be anywhere near that high. | ||
| It'll come down substantially, but it won't be zero. | ||
| It used to be zero. | ||
| We were just destroyed. | ||
| China was taking us for a ride and just not going to happen. | ||
| It's not going to happen. | ||
| We're going to be very good to China, have a great relationship with President Xi, but they would make billions and billions and billions of dollars a year, and they would build their military out of the United States and what they made, so that won't happen. | ||
| But they're going to do very well, and I think they're going to be happy, and I think we're going to live together very happily and ideally work together. | ||
| So I think it's going to work out very well. | ||
| But no, it's at 145 percent. | ||
| There will not be anywhere near that number. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, it's amazing what they've done on the borders. | |
| Thank you for the question, because honestly, it's one of the great successes. | ||
| We have virtually nobody coming in illegally. | ||
| We do have people coming in legally because we want people to come in, but we have nobody coming in through the border virtually. | ||
| That we were having hundreds of thousands of people a month come in under Biden, and they came in from prisons, they came in from mental institutions, they came in from gangs in Venezuela and other countries all over the world, not just South America. | ||
| They were emptying their prisons into the United States. | ||
| Venezuela emptied its prisons out, but many countries emptied their prisons into the Congo. | ||
| As an example, in Africa, empty their prisons into the United States and we're getting them out. | ||
| And I hope we get cooperation from the courts because, you know, we have thousands of people that are ready to go out and you can't have a trial for all of these people. | ||
| It wasn't meant. | ||
| The system wasn't meant. | ||
| And we don't think there's anything that says that. | ||
| Look, we are getting some very bad people, killers, murderers, drug dealers. | ||
| Really bad people, the mentally ill, the mentally insane. | ||
| They emptied out insane asylums into our country. | ||
| We're getting them out. | ||
| And a judge can't say, no, you have to have a trial. | ||
| The trial is going to take two years. | ||
| No, we're going to have a very dangerous country if we're not allowed to do what we're entitled to do. | ||
| And I won an election based on the fact that we get them out. | ||
| And we've done an amazing job. | ||
| Look, we've stopped. | ||
| Everybody admits, even the radical left, we have got the strongest border we've ever had. | ||
| Even stronger than what I had for four years, we had a great border. | ||
| We solved the problem. | ||
| But it's actually, it's a tad stronger, which is, I don't know if that's disappointing or not to me. | ||
| I beat my own record. | ||
| But I appreciate the question. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, thank you, | |
| Daniel. The question is about prices. | ||
| The prices are going down. | ||
| Not going up. | ||
| One of the big things is energy is going down. | ||
| I see that we had a couple of states where gasoline was at $1.98 a gallon. | ||
| Nobody thought they'd see that for years, maybe. | ||
| And that's a big thing. | ||
| And we opened up our wells. | ||
| We opened up our drilling. | ||
| We have more product now for sale. | ||
| And we're also going to be selling outside of the country to a large extent, going to bring down our deficits, largely going to bring down our deficits. | ||
| But if you remember my first week, I was standing here, Paul, and they were screaming about eggs. | ||
| The cost of eggs have gone through the roof. | ||
| They were up like 500, crazy, like four or five times. | ||
| And we won't have eggs for Easter, they were saying. | ||
| Be no eggs. | ||
| You can't order eggs. | ||
| They wanted to sort of plastic in the shape of eggs. | ||
| Well, yesterday we had. | ||
| 48,000 people at the Easter hunt. | ||
| They call it the Easter roll at the White House. | ||
| And we had all eggs. | ||
| And as you know, the cost of eggs has come down like 93, 94 percent since we took office. | ||
| And they're pretty much normally priced now. | ||
| Great job. | ||
| Our secretary of agriculture, Brooke Rollins, did a very good job. | ||
| But groceries have come down. | ||
| It's all coming down. | ||
| The only thing that... | ||
| Hasn't come down, but it hasn't gone up much, our interest rates, and we think the Fed should lower the rate. | ||
| We think that it's a perfect time to lower the rate, and we'd like to see our chairman be early or on time, as opposed to late. | ||
| Late's not good. | ||
| I don't want to talk about that because I have no intention of firing him. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There are reports that you're considering doing something for moms across the country, giving them some type of wellness for them to have child. | |
| Are you considering that? | ||
| Sounds like a good idea to me. | ||
| Yeah, please. | ||
| You have no intention to firing Jerome Powell. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because here, a few days ago said that you and people in the lives were studying this idea of possibly being a force to turn hands. | |
| Do you have any plans on this? | ||
| None whatsoever. | ||
| Never did. | ||
| The press runs away with things, no. | ||
| I have no intention of firing him. | ||
| I would like to see him be a little more active in terms of his idea to lower interest rates. | ||
| This is a perfect time to lower interest rates. | ||
| If he doesn't, is it the end? | ||
| No, it's not. | ||
| But it would be good timing. | ||
| It could have taken place earlier. | ||
| But no, I have no intention to fire him. | ||
| I don't want to comment on that. | ||
| That doesn't matter. | ||

Mr. President, you said, when can we explain the Epstein documents released? | |
| Which documents? | ||
|
unidentified
|
The Epstein files. | |
| I don't know. | ||
| I'll speak to the Attorney General about that. | ||
| I really don't know. | ||
| I know that we've done the RFK. | ||
| The Kennedy, Martin Luther King, is out there very shortly. | ||
| So we'll find out. | ||
| And we've really, really announced we're doing them in full transparency. | ||
| You know, when we did JFK, people were saying, oh, maybe it wasn't all. | ||
| It was all. | ||
| And people actually went up to the office and they looked at some things that were, you know, not really easily available. | ||
| And they were amazed that we gave it all. | ||
| I don't know if it solved any problems for people. | ||
| People still have questions one way or the other. | ||
| But 100% of all of these documents are being delivered. | ||
| Yeah, please. | ||

|
Mr. President, you said you're ultimately going to make a deal with China. | |
| But where do things stand right now? | ||
| Have you talked to him? | ||
| My relationship with the presidency is great. | ||
| It's been great for a long time. | ||
| We've had a very good relationship. | ||
| And I think we'll make a deal with China. | ||
| If we don't make a deal, we'll set it. | ||
| We'll just set the number. | ||
| I think they'll want to be a part of the United States. | ||
| We're doing great. | ||
| This is the golden age, as Paul said. | ||
| We're talking about the golden age. | ||
| There will never be a time like this, in my opinion. | ||
| And China wants to be a part of that, too. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I have. | |
| I have. | ||
| I'll keep that to myself. | ||
| Very personal. | ||
| I think that everyone's going to do well in this country because of tariffs. | ||
| We have seven trillion dollars of investment already. | ||
| You can go back many years and for a whole year they haven't had anywhere near that. | ||
| Mostly they would be well under a trillion dollars of investment and we've got seven trillion. | ||
| We really started Five weeks ago. | ||
| And in just a few weeks, literally, we have seven trillion, which is a record for a year. | ||
| There's never been a year with that much. | ||
| And that's coming. | ||
| And I think for two reasons. | ||
| It's coming because of an election that people liked, and it's coming in because of tariffs. | ||
| And if you look at Apple, Apple's going to start building here. | ||
| Right now, they're in China, mostly. | ||
| Five hundred billion dollars. | ||
| We have the computer. | ||
| All of the computer chip companies are coming in at levels that nobody's ever seen before, as you know. | ||
| Jensen came in for $500 billion. | ||
| You saw that. | ||
| Great guy. | ||
| Highly respected. | ||
| Mr. Wei coming in for $200, $250 billion. | ||
| Nobody's ever seen anything. | ||
| And the auto companies are coming in. | ||
| I can name eight right now already auto plants that are... | ||
| Either starting or about ready to start construction. | ||
| There's never been any United Auto Workers and the non-union workers in the automobile industry. | ||
| They love Trump, and I love them. | ||
| Thank you all very much. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Congratulations, Paul. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Thank you. | ||
| That was the... | ||
| The president of the United States right there, we jumped in. | ||
| He was in the Oval taking questions after the swearing in of the new SEC chairman. | ||
| Mike Davis is here. | ||
| I want to thank Real America's Voice. | ||
| I think we're going to blow the break. | ||
| Mike Davis. | ||
| So SEC, another alphabet agency, we're doing two things simultaneously. | ||
| We're deconstructing the administrative state to do away with regulations and also the smothering impact of the administrative state. | ||
| At the same time... | ||
| The Justice Department, the FCC, the FTC are on a jihad against the oligarchs. | ||
| This week in federal court, you've got the great team over at the FTC picking up from the great work of Lena Kahn, and they have Facebook in court in a massive lawsuit of which they say they're going to demand the breakup of Facebook, and particularly initially at least the divestiture of Instagram and WhatsApp. | ||
| And now you've got the Justice Department under the great Gail Slater and Antitrust and Omid. | ||
| They're now asking for, just breaking as you walked in here, they're requesting that Google at a minimum divest Chrome. | ||
| Talk to me about that. | ||
| What is this Google thing so big? | ||
| Why is Chrome such a big deal and looked at as such a win, even for the Justice Department to propose it? | ||
| Remember what happened five years ago when these big tech platforms Censored, silenced, deplatformed, and canceled. | ||
| That guy that's in the Oval Office right now? | ||
| Including President Trump, right? | ||
| Starting with President Trump. | ||
| Yeah, I started the Internet Accountability Project, the sister organization, to the Article III Project as the first... | ||
| Group on the right to take on big tech, Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Apple on Section 230, on data privacy, and most importantly, on antitrust. | ||
| And I started this with Rachel Bovard. | ||
| And Gail Slater may have had a hand in this. | ||
| Who knows? | ||
| But people laughed at us. | ||
| They mocked us. | ||
| They had the big tech shills, particularly from Google, saying that we're a laughing stock. | ||
| We're not going to get anything accomplished. | ||
| Well, guess what? | ||
| Five years later. | ||
| They're not laughing. | ||
| They're not laughing anymore. | ||
| One of your spiritual sponsors who was in the White House, unless in the White House Counselors, I was thinking on the national security side, Gail is now the head of the antitrust division of President Trump's Justice Department with a deputy that is on fire and an entire group of lawyers over there. | ||
| They're like Elliot Ness. | ||
| They're like the untouchables. | ||
| Yeah, you have Gail Slater, who's the assistant attorney general. | ||
| For the antitrust division, you have Omida Sefi, who's one of her top deputies, and they are doing what President Trump started in his first term. | ||
| They are holding Google accountable for its monopolies. | ||
| Google has monopolized the search market, and so you're going to see the Justice Department calling for the divestiture of Chrome from Google. | ||
| For our audience, what does that mean? | ||
| It means that... | ||
| Chrome needs to be sold. | ||
| It needs to be owned by someone other than Google because Google controls about 95% of the online search market. | ||
| It's like Kleenex, right? | ||
| You don't call it facial tissue. | ||
| You call it Kleenex. | ||
| Google's the same thing. | ||
| It's actually become a verb. | ||
| You Google something. | ||
| That's how much of a monopoly Google has on online search. | ||
| And so if you break up Chrome from Google, you're going to have competing companies instead of one company. | ||
| That's an important thing. | ||
| If you break up Google's companies like Google and YouTube, that means that instead of Google and YouTube censoring conservatives, they will compete for conservatives. | ||
| And that's an important thing. | ||
| You see the antitrust trial with FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson, another one of my good friends, like Gail Slater, who's one of President Trump's top antitrust cops like Gail. | ||
| And Facebook thought they had this in the bag. | ||
| Trump started this. | ||
| Trial at the FTC against Facebook in his first term, against Meta. | ||
| And President Biden, to his credit, continued President Trump's antitrust. | ||
| I don't know if I ever say this, Biden, as much as Lena Kahn. | ||
| It was Lena Kahn. | ||
| Who's a hero and took the original suit and made it better. | ||
| Yeah. Worked for four years and tightened it up and then passed it on to Ferguson, who's now taking it to court, against immense pressure because they were all over. | ||
| The lobbyists were all over the White House. | ||
| They were all over President Trump. | ||
| They were all over everybody in this city. | ||
| And Ferguson stood in the breach and said, no, we need to do this and we need to go forward. | ||
| That's exactly right. | ||
| So you have Gail Slater and Andrew Ferguson continuing what Jonathan Cantor and Lena Kahn did in Biden's term. | ||
| And this is really important that we have this bipartisan coalition to hold these trillion-dollar big tech monopolies, Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Apple accountable. | ||
| And I'll tell you... | ||
| Meta tried to do everything they can to derail this trial that started a couple Mondays ago. | ||
| And maybe, just maybe, the Viceroy took Gail Slater and Andrew Ferguson into the Oval Office and gave President Trump a good reminder of what Meta did to him. | ||
| $400 million to chase him out of office in 2020, which subjected President Trump to four years of unrelenting, republic-ending lawfare. | ||
| They tried to bankrupt him for non-fraud. | ||
| They tried to throw him in prison four times for non-crimes. | ||
| They tried to throw him off the battlefield. | ||
| And Mark Zuckerberg thinks that he's going to... | ||
| Spend a million dollars on the inauguration after President Trump wins in 2024. | ||
| And that's going to make up for the $400 million that he spent to chase him out in 2020. | ||
| That's not the art of the deal. | ||
| That's the art of the steal. | ||
| And President Trump wasn't going to fall for it. | ||
| And we make damn sure that that didn't happen. | ||
| Now Mark Zuckerberg is sitting through a trial. | ||
| Where Andrew Ferguson could call for the divestiture of Meta, could call for the divestiture of Facebook and WhatsApp and Instagram. | ||
| So this is really important what we're seeing with these antitrust enforcement efforts by the Trump 47 antitrust team with Gail Slater and Andrew Ferguson with their deputies like Omito Sefi. | ||
| And we're going to finish the job. | ||
| I'm going to come back about the taxes and going after the oligarchs and the serious nature that the Justice Department under Gail Slater, what Lena Kahn did at FTC, what Andrew Ferguson is going in that lineage, kind of the neo-Brandeisians, | ||
| as we call ourselves, that are concerned about this concentration of private and government power. | ||
| I've got to bring up Letitia James. | ||
| At the same time, Big Tish James, she's got a problem, doesn't she? | ||
| A fact pattern that doesn't look very good about real estate. | ||
| She did this at the same time she was pursuing and really persecuting President Trump for these bogus charges in New York. | ||
| Yes, so Tish James, Big Tish, our friend, tried to bankrupt Trump saying that Trump somehow committed fraud when he got a loan from sophisticated Wall Street banks. | ||
| Paid them back on time, in full as agreed with interest. | ||
| And the banks had to do their own due diligence. | ||
| And she's trying to pretend that Mar-a-Lago is only worth $18 million, right? | ||
| A tennis court at Mar-a-Lago is worth more than $18 million. | ||
| This is the most prime real estate in the world. | ||
| This is like 20 acres. | ||
| Of real estate in Palm Beach, Florida, one of the most expensive markets in the world. | ||
| And I think it's the only piece of land that touches both the Atlantic Ocean and the intercoastal waterway. | ||
| It's unique. | ||
| You could not recreate it. | ||
| It's at least worth $500 million, if not at least a billion. | ||
| A billion, yeah. | ||
| So, Big Tish, she went after Trump with her bogus... | ||
| Legal theory. | ||
| Now she's lying on her mortgage application, allegedly. | ||
| I mean, huge. | ||
| If you look at the facts that have been presented, I mean, she definitely lied. | ||
| This is not her primary residence. | ||
| I think she did it with her father. | ||
| And they went through this morning about 10 things on the mortgage application that are just outright fraudulent. | ||
| Shouldn't we prioritize this? | ||
| You know, I don't understand why Southern District of New York has not announced, which used to leak on Trump all the time, an investigation and go and panel a grand jury and let's see the chips fall where they may. | ||
| I would say this. | ||
| If I were Big Tish, I would not want to be in the position she's in because I think Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and his principal deputy, Emil Bove, and Chad Mizell, the chief of staff. | ||
| I bet you they're going to follow the law here because as Big Tish used to always say, nobody's above law. | ||
| And as I said right after the election, Big Tish better lawyer up because... | ||
| You think she's got a problem? | ||
| I think that she's going to get indicted and she should be indicted. | ||
| Let's go ahead. | ||
| We have a cut. | ||
| Another quite controversial ruling this afternoon. | ||
| And a lot of these come from west of the Picos. | ||
| Let's go ahead and play this and we'll bring the advice we're in. | ||
|

|
Some breaking news, and I want to bring this to you, Lisa, while I have you. | |
| A brand new federal judge ruling saying that the Trump administration has to give 21 days notice to Venezuelan migrants in Colorado. | ||
| Talk about this case and what we know about it. | ||
| Well, Chris, based on the Supreme Court's decision on April 7th in the case that had been before Judge Boesberg, you'll recall that plaintiffs who are detainees now have to bring cases all over the country where they are detained and where they fear that they will be deported and then imprisoned. | ||
| This case is an outgrowth from that. | ||
| This case is being brought on behalf of those who are detained in Colorado. | ||
| And one of the arguments that the ACLU has been making before the Supreme Court, but also before district courts, Is that reasonable notice means more than 24 hours, which is how the administration has construed it. | ||
| Here they are finding now a federal judge who agrees with them, who says you need at least 21 days notice so that you have an opportunity to be heard, so that you can exercise your rights in court and challenge the government's asserted Okay, | ||
| once again, this is the President of the United States in his Article 2 power as Commander-in-Chief. | ||
| This ruling by a Colorado federal judge, I guess it deals, he didn't try to do it for all the country, correct? | ||
| They haven't tried to put a ban or a TR. | ||
| This is only for... | ||
| Those, I guess, Trendy Araga that are in Colorado, he's limited to that? | ||
| It's Charlotte Sweeney, a Biden judge. | ||
| She's a radical. | ||
| Leftist, like the rest of these Biden judges. | ||
| Look, I split my time between Colorado and D.C. I spent 80% of my time in Colorado. | ||
| I'm very familiar with Trendy Aragua. | ||
| I've seen the gangs. | ||
| I've seen what they're doing. | ||
| They're bad hombres that are preying on people, particularly Hispanic and African-American working class folks. | ||
| They are the worst of the worst, right? | ||
| They are vicious people who are raping kids, kidnapping, robbing, raping, torturing women. | ||
| They're working. | ||
| with the Venezuelan government to sabotage our country and the president made that finding under the Alien Enemies Act and that finding is not reviewable. | ||
| The fact that the president made this finding that these are foreign terrorists working With a foreign government is not reviewable by the court. | ||
| And so this order by this judge is lawless. | ||
| And this idea that she's going to write legislation saying there has to be 21 days. | ||
| Think about this. | ||
| President Biden led up to 30,000 people a day coming to America. | ||
| This is an invasion of our country. | ||
| This is not illegal immigration. | ||
| This is an invasion, right? | ||
| And so we're supposed to... | ||
| And the Supreme Court in 2023, written by... | ||
| Just as Brett Kavanaugh said that President Biden had the discretion to let in these people, essentially gave the president the discretion to allow this invasion. | ||
| Now, the Supreme Court's going to say that President Trump can't reverse this and get these dangerous... | ||
| Foreign terrorists, the hell out of our country, that is unacceptable by the Supreme Court. | ||
| Illegal aliens do not have constitutional due process rights. | ||
| They have whatever Congress provides to them by statute. | ||
| And the Alien Enemies Act does not provide due process for these people who the president has designated as alien enemies. | ||
| They need to get the hell out of our country. | ||
| And in the meantime, if these judges are going to require... | ||
| These due process hoops that they suddenly care about due process after persecuting Trump supporters for four years and allowing that to happen. | ||
| If they're going to require this due process, the president needs to detain all these illegal aliens, all of them, they're all criminals, including Trendy, Aragua, and MS-13, and GetMo, and Texas detention facilities. | ||
| They're going to be in a holding pen while they're adjudicating their supposed due process rights. | ||
| Not out on the streets. | ||
| Hell no. | ||
| And I want to make this clear. | ||
| I used to be a lot more sympathetic to illegal aliens until 15 million people got mass imported into our country. | ||
| Every illegal alien is a criminal and they need to get the hell out of our country. | ||
| Because they broke the law. | ||
| Absolutely. The Supreme Court, first off, they dropped this about the Alien Enemies Act. | ||
| And about whether President Trump had the rights, the deep state dropped the national intelligence estimate that said it didn't back it up, but that Venezuela was really doing this. | ||
| They dropped it at 1 o'clock in the morning. | ||
| Alito was so upset about it, he put out a quite sharp rejoinder on his opinion on Easter Sunday. | ||
| Is the Supreme Court at a civil war with each other right now over this very issue of does President Trump as commander in chief actually have the rights? | ||
| Well, let me just ask this to the seven self-appointed generals on the Supreme Court, along with their legal team, their legal advisors at the ACLU. | ||
| When exactly does the president, as commander-in-chief, get back his power to repel this invasion by these terrorists in Trendy Aragua working with the Venezuelan governments? | ||
| Have the seven self-appointed generals, have they run to their skiff in the Supreme Court with their military advisors at the ACLU and figured out how exactly this is going to work? | ||
| I think this is unacceptable judicial sabotage. | ||
| by these Supreme Court justices, seven of them. | ||
| And I would remind these seven Supreme Court justices You wear robes, not capes. | ||
| You are not superheroes. | ||
| Your job is a crucial job, but it's a modest job. | ||
| You are going to decide cases and controversies of the proper plaintiffs before your court with redressable claims. | ||
| Nothing more, nothing less. | ||
| You're not narcissist and capes. | ||
| You wear judicial robes. | ||
| Speaking of generals and commander-in-chief, Pete Hegseth at the Defense Department. | ||
| They're coming for Pete. | ||
| I had a whole hour today with Megyn Kelly on her show. | ||
| We discussed this. | ||
| The deep state's coming for Pete Hegseth. | ||
| Your thoughts, sir? | ||
| I think Pete Hegseth should ignore them because he has the president's strong support and Pete Hegseth is doing a fantastic job. | ||
| He's killing foreign terrorists abroad and he's securing our border. | ||
| With our military, and the results speak for itself. | ||
| Our border invasion is down by 95% since President Trump took office. | ||
| In 60, 70, 80 days. | ||
| They told us it would take us decades. | ||
| We had to pass Langford's bill to do it. | ||
| Trump and Pete Hegseth did it in 60 days. | ||
| Yeah, so Pete Hegseth is doing a fantastic job. | ||
| He has the president's... | ||
| Full support. | ||
| He needs to continue to kill foreign terrorists and secure our border and ignore everything else as noise and nonsense. | ||
| A Vice-Roy, Battlefield Report. | ||
| Right now, what can this audience, what can we do if they are kind of winning on the delay side and they're also making it so difficult to get out the... | ||
| Criminal alien invaders that they're sitting there going, hey, they'll never get to the 10 million, right? | ||
| They'll never really get to the mass deportations because we're already here in late April going into May and we're fighting them every day in court and right now at the Supreme Court, the Supreme Court's engaged in having these guys back, particularly with Trump justices. | ||
| What's your recommendation to the war room posse? | ||
| What do we do here? | ||
| I think what needs to happen is our federal governments working with our state and local allies need to start rounding up. | ||
| As many illegal aliens as possible and putting them in detention centers. | ||
| And let them adjudicate their claims from a detention center instead of the streets. | ||
| And these people will self-deport immediately. | ||
| Do we also have the ability to suspend habeas corpus since it is an invasion? | ||
| Well, I don't think we need to go there. | ||
| I don't think we need to go there. | ||
| You think that formalizes it too much? | ||
| You say round them up and just say, hey, this is a deportation move. | ||
| You've got a final deportation order, 1.6 million. | ||
| You're heading out. | ||
| Maybe in the meantime, if these justices want to be superheroes with their capes instead of judicial robes, I think that we should have the military take over the Chevy Chase Country Club, and we can set up tent camps and put trendy Aragua terrorists and MS-13 at the Chevy Chase Country Club. | ||

|
back in a moment. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Band. | ||
| Absolutely crazy day. | ||
| Scott Besson's been laying hands on the economy. | ||
| And talking about their de-escalation with China because it's too high for both. | ||
| We essentially have an embargo on right now. | ||
| The Chinese sent a threat because they see how these deals are coming. | ||
| It's one of the reasons Wall Street's up a thousand bucks today, or up a thousand points, I should say. | ||
| Beijing warns a retaliation against nations doing U.S. deals. | ||
| Those deals do have parts of them that say the center of gravity of your trade will be with the United States. | ||
| So this is definitely putting together... | ||
| Folks we've been in business with a long time and taking them out of the CCP sphere. | ||
| The CCP understands that. | ||
| That's why these are so hotly contested. | ||
| Will any of these be absolutely completed in the next couple of weeks? | ||
| No. But the term sheets and the architecture of it, I think, will definitely be completed. | ||
| And people are hearing the names of, like, Japan and India and Korea and some of these massive countries that are big. | ||
| Big trading partners with the United States. | ||
| So stay tuned there. | ||
| Scott Besant has also been talking about the overall economy. | ||
| He's going to give, I think, talk to the IMF tomorrow at 10 o'clock. | ||
| We're going to cut live when we start the show, if it starts on time, with Scott over at the World Bank and IMF. | ||
| They have their big kickoff meeting this week. | ||
| And so we'll make sure that everybody's on top of that, what he has to say. | ||
| Couldn't have been clearer in the Oval Office. | ||
| President Trump says, hey, I'm not trying to fire Powell. | ||
| He says, I think Powell will be quicker. | ||
| I don't think he's doing a great job as Fed chair. | ||
| But as we came into the middle of the show, I think in the B block, the entire B block where he was swearing in the new head of the SEC, the Security and Exchange Commission, that's essentially what oversees and governs Wall Street in the capital markets. | ||
| You know, he had about 10 or 15 minutes there where we were just taking questions. | ||
| One of the most important was about his thoughts about the Federal Reserve and Powell. | ||
| He was very upfront. | ||
| He says, I don't have any intention to fire him. | ||
| Also, there was a question about Putin. | ||
| Putin put out word today that, hey, with a couple of things they consider conditioned precedent, they're prepared to sit down and talk peace with Ukraine. | ||
| First time Putin's ever been open to that. | ||
| This is, once again, President Trump, I don't know, running the tables in every area. | ||
| Of course, they're all over him. | ||
| The one thing they've got is the courts. | ||
| They know that that has slowed him down. | ||
| To delay is to deny. | ||
| I think we have to get much more aggressive in going after the deep state. | ||
| The deep state is not our friend. | ||
| They're never going to be on our side. | ||
| You can't reason with them. | ||
| They hate Trump. | ||
| They hate MAGA. | ||

| Big story in the Washington Post about what I've been talking about a lot about taxes. | ||
| And this is not... | ||
| People are not looking to soak the rich. | ||
| People are not looking to tax the rich because it sounds like a trendy thing to do. | ||
| We've been working on this a long time. | ||
| Bottom line, with the growth rates we have in this country economically on GDP, which are not great, they're okay. | ||
| With the... | ||
| Massive amount of debt we have in the interest expense, the $2 trillion deficits that we have to finance and refinance the debt. | ||
| With taxes being at a certain level, given the growth of the country, given the underlying economic reality of the country, given the tax revenue, tariff revenues are coming in, Doge did not find a tremendous amount of cuts and waste, fraud, and abuse, just the facts. | ||
| The fact that the political class... | ||
| It has not come forward with any cuts, any significant cuts to federal spending. | ||
| You put that set of math together, you add tax cuts, President Trump's tax cuts, for no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and no tax on Social Security. | ||
| At some point in time, you need a little something for the effort. | ||
| The Washington Post today talks about how the great Russ vote, Scott Besson, others, Vice President Vance, are not just open to, but kind of working on. | ||
| The ability to have an increase in taxes for, if not the upper bracket, then millions, people a million dollars or more at 40%. | ||
| Something we have advocated strongly and worked for for many years here because it is the right thing to do. | ||
| The working class and middle class need additional tax relief, and this is the way to get it. | ||
| Mike Lindell is with us. | ||
