Speaker Time Text
rachel maddow
In public opinion terms, he has had the most disastrous first hundred days of any president since the dawn of modern polling.
No president has ever botched the first hundred days more badly than Donald Trump has botched it.
And that's true not just for his approval rating generally and how people feel about him.
It's for every single thing you ask the American public about in terms of what he has done.
Do you like any of it?
unidentified
No.
Day 99 of the second Trump administration, and we're starting this evening with money, power, politics.
According to Donald Trump, he runs the country and the world.
That is what he told The Atlantic about his view of his second term in office.
In the interview, Trump also pushed back on the idea that economic chaos would make him roll back his tariffs.
He said, while it always affects you a little bit, there's no red line or certain number that would make him change course.
But it is not just Wall Street or the business community that's currently uneasy about Trump's economy.
Recent polls are showing that most Americans disapprove of how Trump has handled the economy.
Of course, Trump's team in public is brushing off all the polls and the worries, saying Trump is focused on putting Americans first.
And while the business world is very concerned about the trade war with China, Treasury Secretary Scott Besson, he says the ball, well, it's in China's court.
I believe that it's up to China to de-escalate because they sell five times more to us than we sell to them.
And so these 125, 145 percent tariffs are unsustainable.
rachel maddow
Here's where I think we are right now.
I think that Trump and the Trump administration are going to throw some increasingly wild pitches.
To try to change the political trajectory of how things are going.
I mean, they're now deporting U.S. citizens.
You can't deport a U.S. citizen.
U.S. citizens are from here.
There's nowhere to deport them to.
They're now arresting judges.
Right?
It's insane.
I think that we should expect some wild pitches, some truly reckless actions to try to change the trajectory of how things are going, to try to make it seem like this is a new game.
I think because of that instinct in Trump, We should expect that there are going to be some things ahead that are markedly more horrible than even what they have done already.
I think they're going to try to put some proverbial heads on bikes.
And I think that's going to be terrible.
unidentified
Well, first of all, he's done more in the first 100 days than I've done in my 38-year career.
So he's great to watch.
But I really love the cabinet meetings.
He lets the American people into those rooms.
We get to observe the questions and the answers, know what they're doing.
It's really a way that he connects with the public, and I think that's so important.
Negotiating, his skills are unbelievable.
You remember when he was negotiating for the Boeing jet, and he talked about how he wanted it under, I think it was $300,000 or something.
He got it to $299,999.
Well, because the man knows planes, right?
Yeah, exactly.
I'd like inflation to come down a little more, but I'm patient.
I think we need to be patient because he's going to get it done.
He's got the stomach for it, and we just got to be behind him 100%.
So just keep doing what you're doing, President Trump.
We love it.
rachel maddow
Culturally, it is now firmly established that capitulation and sucking up to Trump is shameful and weak and marks you as a loser.
Conversely, I think it is culturally ingrained now that saying no to Trump and fighting him and standing up to him shows that you are strong and a winner and somebody who other people might be interested in.
The superabundance of court rulings against Trump will continue.
I think that will help.
Bottom line, I think as long as the movement against him stays nonviolent, the movement against him wins.
I think Republicans in elected office at every level will face unrelenting and increasing pressure to split from Trump on his almost unbelievably unpopular policies.
Everything from tariffs to...
To cutting Medicaid, to what he's doing to Social Security, to his treatment of Ukraine, to medical research, to Meals on Wheels, to Head Start, all of it.
Republicans will be under unrelenting and increasing pressure to split from him on basically every policy with which he is associated.
And yes, that includes immigration.
And yes, that includes his abuse of trans people.
I think relentless opposition and mockery of his failures will spread and intensify as those are further exposed and as nobody in any part of Republican politics finds any way to defend him.
I think emergency defense measures will increasingly spring up all over the country whenever he tries to pick anyone off, immigrants or otherwise.
I think 100 days in that Donald Trump is losing.
And I think Americans defending democracy are winning.
steve bannon
This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
Pray for our enemies.
unidentified
Because we're going medieval on these people.
steve bannon
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.
jake tapper
And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
unidentified
MAGA Media.
jake tapper
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
unidentified
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
steve bannon
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
unidentified
War Room.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
It's Tuesday, 29 April, Year of Our Lord, 2025.
I think I'm going to play that again all day long.
It's official.
We broke President Trump and the MAGA movement, flood the zone, the 100 days.
Rachel Maddow is a broken woman.
Now here's how dedicated Rachel is to the cause.
I think tomorrow night's her last night, or it's the 100th day, so she's going back into retirement.
Trump broke her.
Last night was just an irrational tirade.
We should have had, you know, if we had time, they were going to have Nicole Wallace, Stephanie Rule, Morning Mika, and Rachel Maddow, Murderer's Row of the progressive movement.
This is why you're losing Dave Brat thoughts.
It was incoherent.
The only thing she said at the end is the courts are coming to rescue us.
dave brat
Yeah, if your enemy's tanking, let them tank.
So the outrage and the totality, everything Trump does is awful.
I mean, just the hyperbole tells you everything.
The laugh still hasn't come out with any counter-narrative or counter-strategy at all.
steve bannon
Because they're not prepared for this.
This is why...
It's providential we had the election stolen in 2020.
If President Trump rolled right into a second term, we'd been fighting those same battles.
It was the tactical retreat after the steal, and the precinct strategy on one hand gave him the infrastructure at the grassroots level to kind of organize the rallies and turn the rallies into a political force.
At the same time, and there's nothing short of the heroic public intellectuals.
Of Stephen Miller in America First Law, of Brooks Rollins in America First Policy Institute, of Russ Vogt, Center for Renewing America, of Jim DeMint in Meadows over at CPI, Center for, was it the Conservative Policy Institute?
And of course, the name that should not be mentioned.
Project 2025, Dr. Roberts and Paul Danz, the great heroes, all of that put together so you could have 10 or 15 things.
This has been the most fundamental reshaping of the American government since FDR and probably more because he's doing it in different areas.
In fact, the EOs, the executive orders, the executive actions, the memos are much more.
But I can tell you, psychologically, we've broken them.
I mean, Rachel Maddow is just a...
Last night was incoherent.
I thought what she was going to do to show she's really committed to try to defeat MAGA and Trump, she would announce, by the way, I'm not doing it for 100 days.
I'm here for all four years, every night.
She's not.
She's taking her 25-minute and going to Connecticut, going to go to the barn with the wife or the husband, whoever her partner, whatever her partner's called.
She's going to go up there and hang out, write some screenplays, and come in once a week for a flyby, right?
dave brat
Yeah, and the other, I don't want to call them intangibles, but the American people are so innocent in a way, especially the flyover country, but people can breathe again.
The CEOs can breathe again.
The COVID attack.
The censorship attack.
It's hard to define what that was, right?
The kids playing basketball and football with masks on.
The boys in the girls' rooms.
I mean, it's just a whole host of these.
steve bannon
It's back to America.
dave brat
It's back to America.
steve bannon
We ain't there yet, but you can tell the difference.
It's also exposed.
Those people who were, you know, this is France after the war.
It's proven who are collaborators, like your CEOs.
The CEOs were on DEI, and now they're all chucking it over, right?
dave brat
And they better wake up permanently here, because if you don't put this, there's only one man.
Who's responsible for the power and the courage here?
And it's Trump.
And once, if he is, you know, in four years or whatever, we'll see how that all goes.
unidentified
You're at the headquarters of Trump 28. That's why I stuttered.
steve bannon
No, no, no.
dave brat
But listen, stop.
steve bannon
Stop.
There's a logic to it.
A guy like this, this is like Washington in the revolution or the civil war, in the founding of the nation.
This is like, you know, Washington had a presence, a massive presence for, what, 20 years of American public life, the key 20 years of the revolution, the founding, and then Lincoln later on.
You get a guy like this once a century.
You've got to get all the squeeze from the lemon.
dave brat
And we're going to talk about antitrust coming up, but everyone, please remember, all the big tech monopolies.
The monopolies and oligarchs were censoring you.
Mike Benz covered all this, redefining democracy.
Twenty million tweets were called...
tweets were called...
Cyber events in law that I guess I voted for, wouldn't have known about it.
I mean, that's some shocking stuff.
If we don't turn that over in statute, that's going to come right back at you.
steve bannon
That's why we're going to get into what's happening over at the House.
And Mike Davis is going to join us because you've got to break these things up.
We've got them on the run.
President Trump has the most – this is the way you destroy the oligarchs.
The way you destroy the oligarchs is with action at the FTC, the FCC, the Justice Department.
Right now, we have the equivalent of Elliot and – It's an all-star crew.
And up on Capitol Hill, the donors understanding that Trump is impervious, at least at this stage, to their pleas.
Now they've gone to the Hill and they're trying to worm into some of the committees.
dave brat
And I've talked to some major, I'm not a donor guy, as everybody knows, but I've talked to some major donors and their representatives and whatever, and these guys still will tell me it's possible to do free trade with China.
I said, you've got to be kidding me.
I said, these countries that have massive tariffs on us, so we can do free trade with them?
And then I ask them, these oligarchs, you think you can do free trade with a monopoly?
I mean, Econ 101, a supply curve, has a bunch of firms on it.
That's what it means to have a market, not a monopoly.
A market means a lot of firms, and the small guys would like to be on that supply curve.
And we've left them behind, and Trump's putting them back in the room.
And that's huge.
steve bannon
Okay, for the next two days, we're going to be both celebrating and commemorating the first hundred days of the most historic presidency, I don't know, since Lincoln or Washington.
I mean, greater than Reagan, greater than FDR.
This is the restoration of America.
We're not just going to sit there and, oh, this is wonderful, it's all great.
We're going to steel ourselves for the next 100 days because I think between, if you look at the next 100, which would be July 29th, right?
We've got so much that's going on.
You're going to have the trade deals come into focus, the economic war, China's going to come into focus, the big, beautiful bill.
Right?
With all the...
And we're going to call it as we see it on this big, beautiful bill because it's got to be done right.
And President Trump's always got tremendous pressure on geopolitically.
You know, the ceasefire in Ukraine.
Obviously, the Russian rapprochement.
There's so much going on.
Trump's got them going at every different level.
It's so fantastic.
dave brat
I'll just throw in a little footnote.
When I was in Congress, we also had the House and the Senate and the White House.
We had no strategy.
We were going to do tax cuts and Obamacare.
And that was it.
And those were accidental and haphazard.
Trump now is going across every secretary he has under him with full-on pedal to the metal.
steve bannon
Every vertical.
dave brat
Every piece of it.
It's unheard of.
steve bannon
If you look in the eight years of Clinton, he basically made a push for school uniforms, right?
Trump does more.
Like in a day than Clinton did in eight years.
It's stunning.
And folks should know that we're hitting on all cylinders.
Of course, that's why, God, we're going to play that Rachel Maddow meltdown again.
It's so great.
We broke her!
She's a broken woman.
Going to go back to the barn in Connecticut.
We've got to break Stephanie Rule.
We've got to break One Morning Me because of Broken Toy anyway.
And Nicole Wallace.
The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
Okay.
We kicked around an idea that Rogan O 'Hanley brought up the other day.
DC Drano.
It got a little traction in the White House yesterday.
We're setting the stage now for the next hundred days.
What is it?
Remember the three verticals?
Stop the kinetic part of the Third World War.
The mass deportations and get this financial.
You know, cataclysmic event that's happening to us all sorted out.
Rogan O 'Hanley's going to be here on the mass deportations.
He's got an idea that I think makes sense.
And I think the White House thinks it might make sense also.
Birch Gold, take your phone out.

Short commercial break.
unidentified
Back in the morning.
karoline leavitt
As always, Rogan O'Hanley, former Hollywood entertainment lawyer, I didn't know that, Rogan, who got fed up with the far-left ideologies of California and now posts conservative political commentary online for his more than 7 million followers across
all major platforms.
unidentified
He joins us today from the great state of Florida.
Why don't you kick us off today, Rogan?
Thank you, Caroline.
rogan dc draino ohandley
In Trump's first 99 days, we've seen a coordinated assault on the rule of law by radical judges.
We're thwarting his agenda with an unprecedented number of national injunctions.
These judges are providing more due process to violent MS-13 and Trenton de Aragua illegal aliens than they did for American citizens who peacefully protested on January 6th.
As Stephen Miller has highlighted, it would be utterly ridiculous to have full trials and appeals for the more than 15 million illegal aliens that came across our border under judges.
Many are now calling for Trump to circumvent these radical judges and consider suspending I think we're good to go.
I think we're good to go.
All three of which are not only celebrated by historians, but are immortalized on our national currency with their faces on there.
Furthermore, all three used it against American citizens, where in this instance we would only be using it against illegal aliens.
I think almost every reasonable American would agree that 15 million illegal aliens coming across our border under Joe Biden counts as an invasion, especially since many, as you highlighted, are now robbing, assaulting, raping, and killing American citizens.
Historic assaults on our republic require reciprocal action from our government.
Can you please let us know if and when the Trump administration is planning to suspend the writ of habeas corpus to circumvent these radical judges who are infringing on his Article II powers and to start shipping out illegals en masse?
unidentified
I have not heard...
steve bannon
Tomorrow, he wrote about Lincoln, and part of one of his chapters or one of his vignettes in there is about this very topic, about President Lincoln suspending habeas corpus.
In a time of national emergency and really challenging the courts.
Now, later on, they papered it and they did that about it, but they worked it all out eventually.
Right now, given the emergency that we have, we can't mess around with these courts.
We have an invasion of the country.
Right now, we've deported 135,000 people, which some people say, oh, that's not enough.
Hey, these people are criminals.
What Homan and these guys are doing are fantastic.
They don't have all the resources right now.
But, as I said at Hillsdale the other day, it's got to be all 10 million.
We don't have a republic.
You have to have a rule of law.
Wall Street's going to make an argument, right?
The left wants the votes.
Wall Street wants the consumer goods.
Corporations want the lower wages.
Your thoughts about this?
dave brat
Yeah, well, it's just asymmetric, right?
They can bring in always $10 million illegal, and for some reason we can't push out the $10 million that came in illegally without getting attacked by them.
steve bannon
Well, no, they had the courts working with them to let all $10 million here.
dave brat
And it was well orchestrated.
That's all been covered.
But that's our side always plays like that.
Cubs, Scouts, etc.
And so now it's...
We've awakened the American people, the impact on wage rates and the social costs and the criminal costs and the 100,000 dead from drugs.
All that gets bypassed in this conversation.
All these supposed people are in favor of inclusivity and all this kind of thing.
They miss the impact on the American people here.
And so it's just the gaslighting from the left.
tell you, just like Rachel having a meltdown there.
The real meltdown is they brought 10 million illegal folks into the country illegally
Well, the courts helped them.
The legal think tanks on our side weren't strong enough, and now we are faced with it.
steve bannon
It was Trump and the MAGA movement.
We stood firm.
You know, for years we hammered this with Todd Bensman and Ben Burquam and Oscar Blue Ramirez and made sure the American people knew what the scam here was.
Now we've had a slight technical problem.
Rogan or Hanley, you were in the White House yesterday, in the press briefing room, laying out the historical foundation for your element.
You broke this the other day on the war room.
People love it.
I think it's more relevant now than it even was a couple of days ago.
Walk us through your suspension of habeas corpus in a time of a national emergency to basically rid the nation of the invader, sir.
rogan dc draino ohandley
Yeah, I'm just glad Caroline didn't ask me to repeat the question.
It was a little bit long-winded, but I wanted to anticipate the counterattacks from the media losing their minds and address their biggest arguments right up front so they couldn't have an easy win here.
And I also wanted to kind of educate people on what this is.
What has been done in the past and what it would mean and why we would limit it just to illegal aliens.
We're not abolishing the writ of habeas corpus for American citizens.
It's a much more targeted issue.
And listen, there was an invasion.
This is a constitutional mechanism to repel an invasion and to quell rebellion.
We don't have a rebellion here.
We have an invasion.
And this matters for so many reasons.
It not only matters for the rule of law so that people believe in our courts again.
It not only matters for the strain on our social services, hundreds of billions of dollars in welfare benefits.
It not only matters for lowering crime and making our streets a lot safer, how many hundreds of Americans have been killed by illegal aliens.
But it really matters for the 2030 census, okay?
And Democrats, blue states have been bleeding citizens moving to red states.
And without counting illegals in the census, we could pick up 12 electoral college votes.
We would not even need to campaign in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, although we would because they're great, beautiful states.
But you could win it with just the safe red states.
And Democrats know this.
So I think there are exigent circumstances.
There is a very big kind of goal here.
And I think it would put Trump in the historical president category to exercise this and do what needs to be done.
And so I wanted to start to put this out there now, soften the battlefield for him.
No, no, no.
steve bannon
Look, let's talk about this.
You put it up, I think, on Twitter.
A week ago, we had you on the show that morning, had Mo reach out to you.
Next thing you know, a couple days later, you're in the White House briefing room, and they're doing kind of a special briefing to have you and Homan highlight.
There's obviously a lot of interest in this.
I want to go back one more time, and just in two minutes, make your case again.
Because people go, oh my God, this is dictatorial powers, right?
There's a logic for this.
What is it, Rogan O 'Hanley?
rogan dc draino ohandley
Well, I just want to say that I tried to be the voice for the War Room posse in that press briefing room.
And yes, you and Captain Bannon found my post.
You brought me on.
I posted this clip from War Room on my X account.
It got 14,000 retweets.
I go, we're on to something here.
And then a couple days later, the White House says, hey, do you want to come in the new media chair?
They didn't know what I was going to ask.
And I kind of mentioned it to them, and I said, ooh, that's going to be spicy, but go ahead.
They're really about new media and free speech.
But this has been exercised by three U.S. presidents, three of our best, Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, and FDR.
This is a constitutional power under Article I, Section 9, and it is only in cases of rebellion or invasion.
And all I'm asking for, Steve, all we want is the same treatment that Martha's Vineyard got.
When a few dozen illegals got sent there, within 48 hours, they mobilized the National Guard and shipped them out without a trial.
If it's good enough for Martha's Vineyard, it's good enough for East Palestine, Ohio.
It's good enough for Michigan.
It's good enough for Florida.
That's all we want.
Give us what you did on Martha's Vineyard for the country.
Mobilize the troops, ship them out without a trial, and then everyone will be happy.
steve bannon
DC Drano, you've got one of the biggest, most influential platforms on the MAGA right.
Where do people go to participate and get some of your knowledge and wisdom, sir?
rogan dc draino ohandley
It's all on X, Truth, Getter, Instagram, mostly.
That's where I'm most active, DC underscore Drano.
So thank you, Steve.
It's an honor to have you on, and I give almost all the credit to you.
You kind of plucked that tweet out of obscurity, brought me on.
I said, damn, this is going to be spicy, but go at it.
And here we are.
Now it's out there.
steve bannon
Behind this, I tell you, you were so smart to do that.
We're going to drive this because, folks, we're coming to this.
I talked at Hillsdale the other night.
It's a convergence of crises that are all going to merge together in the second hundred days.
It's going to make the second hundred days actually more exciting, more meaningful, more historic than the first.
D.C. Drano, thank you so much.
rogan dc draino ohandley
Thank you.
steve bannon
Brilliant young guy.
This one's going to be a big one.
And the hill they are dying on is around a human trafficker.
By the way, which the Tennessee State Police will not release to Michael Patrick Leahy.
The records.
Short commercial break.
Birch Gold, take your phone out.
Text Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N at 989898 to get the ultimate guy, the ultimate guy, totally free, to investing in gold and precious metals in the era of Trump.

Modern day, the holy war, tell to blessings, be in sin, no more, no more, cause Jesus put the light in you.
Little children in a straight line, don't fall behind.
Oh no, the tele-vision only meant to indoctrinate the mind.
Seeing ain't always believing, doesn't mean it ain't true.
Oh, when there's an unethical label right under you.
We're in an island, holy war, coming after your mind to find your soul.
Oh, all is true.
Modern day, the holy war, tell to blessings, be in sin, no more, no more, cause Jesus put the light
in you.
I'm lying to you.
Oh, count your blessings, be in service, till his will is done.
Could you be clear, could it be true that everything you learn in school is always just a great big stupid lie?
Things you wouldn't believe, mind can't conceive, will probably make you break down.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Vance.
steve bannon
New angle of attack today, Brett, is going to be what happened in Canada last night.
The problem is the populist guy is not really a populist.
He starts bashing Trump a couple of weeks ago, or a couple of months ago, and he gets, and they don't, and the liberals don't get a...
A majority government.
It's a minority government.
So Canada's still in the mess.
But hey, if the Canadians want to vote for that, vote for it.
I think the focus for us has got to be these western provinces, Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Particularly this woman out there named Danielle Smith, who's kind of very...
She's really a populist nationalist, not like this guy.
And by the way, this guy lost his seat.
I keep telling people, you know, you go to CPAC and you have a...
In fact, last night on Rachel Maddow, for all the hate she's dumping on Trump for 100 days...
Because it's one of her last nights before she goes to summer retirement.
They take 10 minutes to bash on Viktor Orban, our guy.
And I say, you go to CPAC, and CPAC Congress is coming up, and if we can make it, we're going to try to, but it may be too jammed here.
You've got, people want Orban, they want Bolsonaro.
They want Farage.
They want the guys at AFD, Alternative for Deutschland.
They want the fire breathers, right?
Malay, they want people that are populous.
This guy, I've never heard a request for this guy.
Now, I will tell you...
They're going to take Mark Carney, who's just another Goldman Sachs stiff.
They're going to take him, and they're going to use that, oh, it's a new shift.
The whole world's going to come around.
And I think what they're going to lead is the next wave you're going to see is the universities coming together to try to thwart Trump.
Your thoughts?
dave brat
Yeah, if you look at all the conservative movements, populist movements around the world, they're all on the ascendant, right?
You can see the strength of military, economy, geopolitics, alliances with the U.S. and the good guys.
Also, adherence to religion, got to say, in a lot of those countries.
And then you look at these other countries, Canada.
It's really just analogous to Europe on the decline.
The church pews are empty, economic growth down, low energy.
They're kind of taking on the European mantle.
And what Trump is doing is telling everybody, get your house in order, right?
Because you're about ready to lose all your free money coming from the USA and the taxpayers and the middle class, right?
Your days are at an end.
We're going to move toward the Pacific when it comes to geopolitical strategy.
We're moving away from the endless wars.
There's an awful piece in the Wall Street Journal.
Op-ed piece today.
steve bannon
And he drops 100 days?
dave brat
Yeah, and he's criticized, says Trump doesn't want peace.
He doesn't want a peace with honor.
steve bannon
The Wall Street Journal hates Trump.
dave brat
Yeah, they hate him.
steve bannon
They hate MAGA more, right?
But they hate Trump.
What do you got for me?
dave brat
Yeah, this is Gerard Baker.
steve bannon
Well, Jerry Baker's a good guy.
I like him.
Baker's a former editor of the Wall Street Journal.
dave brat
Well, I don't know him, but here's what he wrote.
The great Petrine sanctuary, Peter, had experienced the ultimate Pauline conversion.
As I say, the Catholic in me wants, chooses to believe, the skeptic in me remains skeptical.
While Trump is right to seek an end to this pitiless war, what has been missing has been any commitment to peace with honor from Trump.
All Trump talks about every time he gets in front of Zelensky and all the world leaders is the boys dying on the battlefield.
That's honor, sir.
I don't know what you're talking about.
You're not reporting the truth.
steve bannon
No, but read the thing further.
What they want is an American security.
They want America to be involved in that mess going forward.
And President Trump's adamant.
In fact, that's why we're so adamant against the economic deal.
We don't want any involvement at all.
To get the Ukraine thing done.
And President Trump knows it's not going to be easy.
He's working hard to do it.
Putin and those guys, I mean, they're two Slavic entities going at it.
There's 1.5 million casualties, either dead or wounded.
So, remember, all wars eventually become wars of attrition and annihilation.
Why?
Because vengeance comes in.
Retribution comes in.
The feelings of families have had loved ones killed.
This town's destroyed.
And this is what's happening in Ukraine.
President Trump's doing a Herculean task of trying to keep everybody kind of take a deep breath.
dave brat
And the news reporting out there may want to go back to 2014 Crimea, right?
because Tucker interviewed a guy that has been on the Russian side of the football, interviewing from Russia's perspective in the war from their side, not pro-Russia.
But our length interview on Crimea, and if you go back, Crimea was Russian until 1956.
And then, of course, our CIA was also involved in the coup d 'etat in 2014.
Well, and that set of facts needs to come out and be put forward very clearly.
These Wall Street Journal guys who want the wars to continue are just in the pockets of big defense and big funding and big money and all that.
And they get paid, right, as we found out from USAID.
The press are all cutouts for these various government agencies.
steve bannon
Like the Wall Street Journal.
I want to ask Jerry Baker.
Did we get peace with honor in Iraq?
Did we get peace with honor in Afghanistan?
I don't remember you yelling at the Bush regime or Obama, but we'll put a pin in it.
Jerry Baker's not a bad guy.
He's just off track.
The Wall Street Journal is so neoliberal, neocon.
They hate Trump.
And man, do they hate MAGA.
They hate the populist movement.
They hate nationalism.
Anthony Constantino joins us, an entrepreneur.
So today we're going to have Mike Davis on in a moment about the oligarchs.
Amazon, Bezos, an oligarch, goes to war with Trump by separating it.
He's going to put what the tariff costs are there.
Anthony, what do you think?
You're a small businessman.
You're a manufacturing guy.
Talk to us about your ideas about President Trump.
Is he doing a good job?
Is he giving the...
unidentified
I think he's doing great, always better than expected.
I think the thing I like the most about President Trump, I look at politicians and say, could I do what that guy's doing?
I look at President Trump, I'm like, I don't think I could ever do anywhere close to what he's doing.
He always outperforms and he does better than expected.
And I like populism.
I built an incredible company, over a thousand people, but I kind of like hanging out with regular people.
I like hanging out with my frontline factory employees and regular people and the president's the same way.
steve bannon
Anthony, talk to me about as a businessman.
President Trump, you know, MSNBC, CNN this morning, you're hammering him, saying he's losing small businessmen.
All this poll's going the wrong way.
We had Rasmussen on.
It said it's all a PSYOP, that people still like the policies.
Where do you see the economy right now, and where do you see it as a guy that has a factory and is a manufacturer, a small manufacturer?
unidentified
I agree.
It's all a sigh up.
They always say people, President Trump's losing supporters.
That never happens.
People that like President Trump, they know who he is, they know the way he operates.
I've watched him for eight years.
I think a lot of people understand he's one of the best negotiators in the world.
He's negotiating very aggressively on tariffs.
I have a company I sell all over the world.
I got over a thousand people, but I sell all over the world when I sell.
All over the world, I get tariffed wherever I go.
I get tariffed all over the place, and President Trump's fighting to stop that.
And there's no such thing as a negotiation where you just say, hey, can you please stop your tariffs?
And they say, yes, sir.
You know, you always got to fight.
There's always a little bit of friction and turbulence in a tough negotiation.
But President Trump's one of the best negotiators in the world, and he's fighting.
And, you know, we're going to go through a little bit of turbulence.
But at the end of the day, he's doing what's right for the American people and for American businesses.
I try to sell all over the world.
I pay ridiculous tariffs, and he's going to make that go away, hopefully.
steve bannon
Hey, talk to me about when President Trump talks about reciprocity, he tried to get this into the American people's minds.
It's just not the monetary tariff.
It's the non-tariff barriers.
It's the currency manipulation.
It's the counterfeiting.
It's all the rules and regulations at shipping and at the port and customs and all that.
Talk to our people.
How tough are the non-tariff, the non-monetary tariff barriers for you as an American to export?
unidentified
Sure.
One thing I did that was very smart.
Other people don't do it, but I ship all over the world.
And when I go to these other countries, I've got to pay big fees.
There's all these nonsensical fees when you go into the country.
And I absorb those costs on behalf of my customers.
And in many cases, when I ship to foreign countries, I don't make any money at all.
I just want to get my goods over there and get the presents over there and build it up and then bring the revenue back to the United States of America, which I do very effectively.
But yeah, there's fees and there's all sorts.
There's not just tariffs, but there's customs duties and import duties and all sorts of...
You know, ridiculous fees.
I pay them on behalf of other people, but I have, you know, a great company, and I have great margins, and I'm able to absorb that.
Not everybody can do that sort of thing and sell over the world.
So if we make those tariffs go away, and as President Trump said, not only make the tariffs go away, but look for ways to bring the taxes down on people earning less than $200,000 a year because we're maybe making a little bit of money off of tariffs on our own end.
What does he call it?
The external revenue service.
I think it's a great idea.
You know, one thing people don't realize, you know, I'm a business owner, and so, you know, I'm doing pretty well for myself, but people say, you know, you get a good job, you make $200,000 or $300,000 or $400,000 a year, but it's really not such a great situation because at the end of the day, you're paying massive taxes, and the only way to really make it big in this country is to own your own business at this moment because if you're a salaried person,
and you're making two, three or $400,000 a year, you're getting taxed like crazy.
And so guys like Mark Zuckerberg and all these other, you know, rich fat cats or whatever you want to call them, they're not concerned about this situation because they're making their money in different ways.
They're not salaried people.
Anthony, where do people go to find out more about the company and your social media?
steve bannon
Where do they go?
unidentified
Well, you know, ever since President Trump got shot, I've been working on more on the political end of things in New York.
New York's a state that's failing.
It's going in a very bad direction.
President Trump called the most corrupt state in the union, and I want to work to fix that.
So I'm less interested in the business right now.
You can check out the business called Sticker Mule.
But, you know, I'm more interested in making New York great again and helping the president, helping the country move in a better direction.
Check me out on, there you go, Twitter, AC132, or just look me up on Facebook, Anthony Constantino.
steve bannon
Well, Anthony, I hear they've got a governor's race coming up in the not-too-distant future.
Hochul looks like she's vulnerable.
Hochul looks like she's vulnerable.
Any thoughts on that?
unidentified
I agree.
She's very vulnerable.
She's a terrible candidate.
She's a terrible governor.
She's not a very exciting person.
I don't even know how she got in there.
I guess she was just lurking in the shadows and Cuomo messed up big time.
But we knew he was dopey.
But he has a good name.
So he pulled it off because he has a nice name and people knew the name.
But then he screwed up big time.
By the way, I knew that girl.
I went to high school with her that he was fooling around with and causing all the problems.
She's not the nicest person in the world.
steve bannon
That's what I hear.
Anthony, where do they go?
Do you have a political site or what's your social media?
unidentified
For Anthony.
And just check me out on social media.
I caused a lot of trouble in New York on Facebook.
You know, that's where I'm the most active.
Because Facebook's great for local, although Mark Zuckerberg's not the best guy.
You know, the funny thing is I went to high school with, you know, the girl that caused all that trouble with Mr. Cuomo and my brother went to high school with Mr. Zuckerberg.
And, you know, he's not the best guy either.
So, you know, Facebook's great for getting the word out.
Unfortunately, it's ran by a guy who's, you know, he's suddenly kissing President Trump's ass like crazy.
It's unbelievable.
He was at the inauguration and, you know, he wants to be buddy-buddy with the president.
He suddenly started lifting weights and he wants to pretend he's something he's not.
steve bannon
He's brought out.
Now, our whole next segment is on Zuckerberg and Bezos and the bros who all came around President Trump.
unidentified
I would have more fun talking about that one.
You know, I like the clown.
steve bannon
He's getting hammered.
unidentified
Talk about that another day, call me back again, but thanks for having me.
steve bannon
Okay, Anthony, good to have you on here.
Okay, we're going to take a short break.
Mike Davis is going to join us.
Remember, President Trump has got like the Elliot Ness crew when it comes to antitrust.
If you want to break up the concentrated power in this country, you've got to break it up.
It's because it's not going to do it itself.
That's when President Trump at his FCC, FTC, and at the Justice Department, he's collected an all-star team.
He's got an all-star team of folks that are virently antitrust and want to make sure we get back to entrepreneurs like Anthony, right?
That's the backbone of this country.
The backbone of the Trump movement is entrepreneurial capitalism, not kind of high, late-stage capitalism, which is financialization of everything.
It's one of the reasons the country is in such a terrible mess.
Mike Davis is going to join us in a second.
We're getting ready to have a very big deal about in Rio de Janeiro for the Rio Reset.
You know why?
Given where the world's economy is going right now, the Chinese Communist Party, Dave Brass is going to have some discussion about Geneva and the Chinese Communist Party and NGOs and their efforts to kind of take over the world.
One of the ways they're doing it is de-dollarization.
Make sure you go to birchgold.com slash ban and end of the dollar empire.
We've been working on this for four years, been putting it out for four years.
It will get you up to speed.
In one reading of exactly what's happening.
Birchgold.com slash Bannon.
End of the dollar empire.
Short break.
Mike Davis, the Viceroy.

Next. It was reported this morning that Amazon will soon display a little number next to the price of each product that shows how much the Trump tariffs are adding to the cost of each product.
So isn't that a perfect crystal clear demonstration that it's the American consumer and not China who is going to have to pay for these policies?
I will take this since I just got off the phone with the president about Amazon's announcement.
This is a hostile and political act by Amazon.
Why did Amazon do this when the Biden administration hiked inflation to the highest level in 40 years?
partnered with a Chinese...
What did we do?
Nope. I don't know if you can chat.
Do you want me to speak?
steve bannon
Okay, let me have it.
Somehow we have a problem with the clips.
Is it Caroline Levitt's putting the voodoo on things?
Okay, here's what's happening.
And by the way, she was dropping the hammer at the White House Secretary of Treasury Scott Besson over there.
Amazon has gone to war with Trump.
What they tried to do is break out tariffs on their site to say, hey, look what Trump's doing to you, American consumer.
This is all about the oligarchs and taking down the oligarchs.
We've got a lot about Jim Jordan, etc.
So Mike Davis, where do we stand with all this?
We've got a...
We have the best team.
FCC, Andrew Ferguson, FTC, his team.
You've got Gail Slater at DOJ.
Omid, her deputy.
I mean, these are stars, and we're in court.
We're breaking up Google in both Northern Virginia federal court and D.C. federal court.
You've got Facebook on the ropes in federal court.
We're on a roll, and they tell you they're going to keep coming at you.
Amazon today, and hey, we had a file next week on Amazon.
They're coming out to try to chop block President Trump's approval ratings and what he's trying to do on tariffs.
Your thoughts, sir?
mike davis
Well, I think it's wonderful that Amazon is finally admitting that it's China's shopping mall.
Remember, it was Amazon that actively recruited these Chinese factories and companies.
They sidelined U.S. small businesses, and they chose cheap Chinese crap over America.
Collaborated with the CCP censorship machine.
They deleted negative reviews of Xi Jinping.
They removed Bibles from their platforms at Beijing's commands, and they enforced China's censorship restrictions on the Internet.
So Amazon's making it crystal clear whose side it's on, and that is China.
And so it's actually a good thing.
Put on its website the cost of these tariffs.
That's a pretty good sign to American consumers that if there's a tariff cost next to an item, don't buy that item because that item was not made in America.
Only buy the items that are made in America.
steve bannon
And look, overall, big tech is on the run.
Davis, Davis, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.
That's so brilliant.
And we get so few brilliant ideas.
I'm just kidding.
Hit rewind.
Give me that one again.
I love it.
What is it?
mike davis
So if there's a tariff price next to an Amazon item on the online shopping mall for China that Amazon runs, if there's a tariff price there, don't buy it.
Because that means that product was made overseas.
unidentified
CCP.
mike davis
It was not made in America.
unidentified
Slave labor.
dave brat
Genius.
mike davis
That's right.
dave brat
Viceroy genius.
mike davis
That's right.
steve bannon
Talk to us about it.
There's a big article up.
mike davis
I'm a broken clock, guys.
Twice right a day.
steve bannon
No, no, no.
Brilliant.
Nick Sorter, a bunch of guys, Ryan Grimm, have a bunch of pieces out that talk about there's some tension, whereas President Trump has fielded an all-star team.
In fact, if you have to look at any part of President Trump's administration, and man, we got great guys at defense, great guys at the intelligence agencies, all that.
If you look at the quality of people he has at the alphabet agencies and at justice, main justice, on...
About breaking up oligarchs and too much concentration of power in this country.
It's an all-star team with amazing track record and they've worked as a team and these are smart, good people.
Why on Capitol Hill are we hearing the drumbeat, particularly from guys like Jim Jordan, who I don't want to say has been in the pocket of Facebook.
For many decades, far be it from me to say that.
I'm just saying what's out there in the ether.
Why would Jim Jordan and his staff and other people be starting to say now they want to start to gut this, sir?
mike davis
Well, I used to be harshly critical of Jim Jordan because I called him a big tech show.
I've come to a detente with Jim Jordan because I like him personally.
But I still think Jim Jordan...
unidentified
Hold it.
steve bannon
Jordan's a likable guy.
No, he's a great guy.
He'll break down, do the wrestling.
I mean, Jordan's a great guy.
But this is about principle, is it not, Mike Davis?
mike davis
I like Jim Jordan, but he will go to the mat for big tech.
He will go to the mat for Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Apple.
I would just ask Jim Jordan this.
So for four years, the Biden Justice Department was politicized and weaponized to go after Trump.
His top aides like Bannon and Peter DeVaro, who both went to the clink, maybe they deserved it, maybe not.
You had January 6th supporters persecuted.
You had parents, Christians persecuted.
I don't remember Jim Jordan trying to close down any Justice Department office.
I don't remember him trying to close the Civil Rights Division that was persecuting.
All these Trump supporters.
I don't remember him trying to shut down the D.C. U.S. Attorney's Office with reconciliation.
But the second these big tech platforms like Meta face the FTC's lawsuit, Jim Jordan's going to the mat for them and wants to shut down the FTC.
So maybe those Trump grandmas who got thrown in the D.C. gulag for trespassing should have been wearing Facebook hoodies and Jim Jordan would have gone and saved them.
steve bannon
Hey, Mike, can you hang on just—I know you're jammed, but I just want to hold you through the break.
I just want people to understand the depth of this fight and how important it is.
You know, you got AOC, who's now leading, I think, for the Democratic primary, and Bernie Sanders to run around with the oligarchs tour.
President Trump this week is hammering— Trade deals around the world, you just heard Anthony, to actually make it a level playing field for American entrepreneurs to actually export.
Number two, to bring manufacturing jobs back here so working class people can have great jobs.
Number three, going through a huge tax plan and a spending plan and still on the table because I talked to high officials in Treasury last night and said they didn't say anything about not...
Having a potential tax cut on the table as Politico responded.
And you've got, in federal court, his Justice Department, FTC, hammering the oligarchs in the day, putting a shot across the bow of Amazon.
They're trying to sell cheap CCP junk into the United States.
President Trump's hitting on all cylinders.
Make sure we're going to need the ramparts.
Mike Davis is going to say why.
He's going to take a short break.
