| All of the changes that President Trump is making to our government and our democracy are shocking, but should not come as a surprise. | ||
| Remember this? | ||
| Almost all of it, from the attacks on abortion rights, to the gutting of the civil service, to the dismantling of the Department of Education, it was all spelled out very clearly in Project 2025. | ||
| It was always accessible to the public. | ||
| We knew what was in it, we knew who was writing it, and we knew what they were planning. | ||
| We knew that the architects of it were drafting executive orders in anticipation of Trump's victory. | ||
| We knew they were training a new class of political appointees to outmaneuver checks and balances. | ||
| Only 104 days into his presidency, Donald Trump has already pushed through dozens of Project 2025 policies that we warned about on this show last year. | ||

|
Logical design, right? | |
| It's not supposed to be we're doing what the public wants in the sense of... | ||
| We have done focus grouping, and we've figured out what the thing is that we're trying to maximize in order to be most popular. | ||
| They believe they have a once-in-a-generation attempt to revolutionize the structure of the American government, to move it into something that more closely resembles something like Viktor Orban's regime in Hungary. | ||
| I don't think they would explicitly say this, but if you look at the policy details as they're laid out, the end result of it is something that very much does resemble what political scientists might call a competitive authoritarian regime. | ||
| One in which the opposition is playing on fundamentally loaded playing grounds. | ||
| And that is what's happening. | ||
| Right now, granted, they're doing it very badly. | ||
| If I were a foreign autocrat, I'd be a little bit embarrassed to say that these people are following my playbook. | ||
| But that is nonetheless what they're attempting. | ||
| What do you say to those who believe you are taking the country down an authoritarian path? | ||
| Well, there you go again. | ||
| Why don't you ask it a different way? | ||
| Many people wanted to come into our country. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Many people love Trump. | |
| I won the election. | ||
| They didn't win the election. | ||
| I got a lot more votes than they did. | ||
| I won the popular vote. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I won all seven swing states by a lot. | |
| A lot of people were surprised. | ||
| They said, I think you could win four, maybe five. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, I won all seven. | |
| And I won by a lot. | ||
| And I won, actually, I think there was a lot of hanky-panky going on, but it was too big to rig. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's the good news. | |
| It's too big to rig. | ||
| But let me just say, so when you make these statements about people say this, well, you know, they had their chance at the election and they lost big. | ||
| So you should ask the question differently. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You should say, what about the people that want to be in this country? | |
| What about the people that love this country? | ||
| But what do you say? | ||
| I'm asking it on behalf of those people. | ||
| To give you a chance to respond to them. | ||
| What do you say to those people, sir? | ||
| Those people are going to be very happy. | ||
| They're going to have to see some results. | ||
| And I think we had a great hundred days. | ||
| There are a lot of people that say it was unprecedented. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It was an absolutely unprecedented 100 days. | |
| I hope that they're going to be right. | ||
| There's a thing called unitary executive theory. | ||
| There's the destruction of the administrative state, some of which the Supreme Court has helped with. | ||
| These are concepts of governing that Project 2025 is underpinned by. | ||
| And Zach's right. | ||
| People don't think about these things. | ||
| They literally don't think about these things. | ||
| So when you dismantle USAID, there are only a small group of people who will actually protest that. | ||
| Even when you dismantle things that matter to Americans, like the National Institutes of Health and their funding of universities, people don't realize that the medication that they get to cure the diseases they don't even need, that they don't even know they're going to get, are funded by the government. | ||
| But it's conceptual reframing of how the American government runs. | ||
| How badly can that go? | ||
| In other words, can the next president just undo this stuff and fix it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, I think one of the things that makes... | |
| Project 2025 so important and so influential is they have thought deeply about how to make permanent changes to the structure of government. | ||
| And, you know, you can roll back executive orders, you can try to restore funding for things, but you're not going to bring back the brain drain. | ||
| You're not going to restart the things that are going on. | ||
| So I think the government that the next president inherits is going to be just very different from the one that Trump did on January 20th. | ||
| If you had one piece of advice to give President Trump or this administration, what is that? | ||
| Triple down. | ||
| Just make every day more intense than the day before. | ||
| You're on the right track. | ||
| You've got the right policies. | ||
| You've got the right people. | ||
| Obviously, today, the National Security Advisors are going to make changes. | ||
| Directionally, you're right. | ||
| You're fighting. | ||
| You're on the side of the righteousness. | ||
| I think we've seen this. | ||
| Trump is, I can tell you, having a front row seat to this. | ||
| 16 was providential. | ||
| That was the hand of God. | ||
| We had a plane. | ||
| We had a jet, a man, a message. | ||
| We had no organization, no money. | ||
| That was the American people stepping up and saying, I want this guy. | ||
| This guy's different. | ||
| I've heard enough of the Clintons. | ||
| I've heard enough of the Bushes. | ||
| I've heard enough of this crap. | ||
| I want to give this guy a shot. | ||
| The stealing of the 2020 election, the pandemic and the stealing of the 2020 election was also the hand of God. | ||
| At the time, it didn't seem that. | ||
| But if we had gone right into a second term, it would have been like trench warfare. | ||
| have been like the Western Front in World War two or World War one just two sides dug in and they kind of had Trump surrounded God's hand worked that we would step back right and put it on the burden on MAGA and the burden on his followers to make sure you had his back and did the precinct strategy and all things you had to do to make sure you were there for him and if he committed to do it again that we would drive to victory but | ||
| These people are neo-Marxist. | ||
| Right? | ||
| They're autocrats. | ||
| They were trying to destroy people. | ||
| They're using the pandemic to destroy people. | ||
| They're using the government to destroy people. | ||
| They ran this thing like you run, like the Stassi ran East Berlin. | ||
| That was all revealed to us. | ||
| Plus, we had the time. | ||
| We had the time to regroup. | ||
| Trump had the time to think. | ||
| We had the time to put the Project 2025s in the Center for Renewing America. | ||
| We had the time to think through what we had to do with the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| What to do with these things. | ||
| You had those four years of preparation. | ||
| How do you think, you know, I gave this interview. | ||
| I had an interview to PBS after I left the first time. | ||
| I said, "Hey, you know, flood the zone. | ||
| Here's our strategy to have two or three things every day." So they would bite on one and we'd drop. | ||
| We're doing a dozen to 15 a day. | ||
| What I would tell the president and his team: urgency, action, intensity. | ||
| Every day. | ||
| When you've got an enemy on the run, you keep on the run. | ||
| Never take the foot off the pedal. | ||
| Don't let him retreat. | ||
| Run the tables and continue to run the tables. | ||
| And let's break this globalist that run the imperial capital here in Washington, D.C. Because victory is at hand. | ||
| We've just got to keep pounding down. | ||
| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
| Pray for our enemies. | ||
| Because we're going medieval on these people. | ||
| I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people. | ||
| The people have had a belly full of it. | ||
| I know you don't like hearing that. | ||
| I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
| It's going to happen. | ||
| And where do people like that go to share the big lie? | ||
|

Mega Media. | |
| I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. | ||

|
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? | |
| If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. | ||

War Room. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bass. | ||
| It's Monday, 5 May, year of our Lord, 2025. | ||
| Kind of explosive news over the weekend because it's made the lead in Fox News. | ||
| Congressman Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia. | ||
| Had a couple of amazing tweets over the weekend, kind of make the case of exactly where we stand at the end of the 100 days, beginning the second 100, the most dangerous. | ||
| Congressman Greene is in the House this morning. | ||
| Thank you so much for coming. | ||
| Good to be here, Steve. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And getting here early because it's all kicking off today in the House. | |
| First off, Fox is making a huge deal of this. | ||
| Everybody's making a huge deal of this. | ||
| Now you see a wedge coming between the base and President Trump. | ||
| Nothing can be further from the truth. | ||
| That's a lie. | ||
| But you were a truth teller of exactly what has been some of the focus and what you think needs to be the focus. | ||
| You put this tweet out. | ||
| Was it Friday or Saturday? | ||
| I believe it was Saturday morning. | ||
| Saturday morning. | ||
| I saw it right after the show. | ||
| No, Friday morning. | ||
| It was Friday morning, yep. | ||
| So walk us through it. | ||
| Well, basically, it's a complete lie. | ||
| Denver, if you can put it up, too. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I want to put up her actual tweet. | |
| Right. | ||
| It's a lie. | ||
| There is no wedge between the base and President Trump. | ||
| The wedge is between Congress and the establishment Republicans that are undermining the president's agenda. | ||
| And also, anyone that gets in the president's ear and is lying to him about what he should be doing, you know, here's the real issue. | ||
| This country rose up in a historic way, something that we haven't seen in our lifetime, Steve. | ||
| And delivered a mandate, and that mandate was to the Republican Party. | ||
| The mandate was President Trump's agenda. | ||
| The American people said, no, we're done with the old Republican Party ways. | ||
| We are rejecting the Democrat Party's policies. | ||
| We are embracing Make America Great Again, MAGA, America First, MAHA, No More Foreign Wars, this whole populist movement supporting America. | ||
| And American workers and American companies and American interests and solving American problems. | ||
| That's what November 2024 was about. | ||
| And Washington, as usual, is tone deaf and has not heard the message. | ||
| What we saw is all these Republicans that rejected Trump fought Trump in his first administration. | ||
| you know, networks, even like Fox News, that did not support the president and didn't support him in 2021 and 2022, part of 2023, and didn't support him until they realized they had to support him. | ||
| Late on the evening of the 5th of November, 2024, right? | ||
| About 10 o'clock at night when Pennsylvania and Michigan fell. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| All of a sudden they got on board. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Talk to people about how this place works, because you've had the most interesting journey. | ||
| You came in as a MAGA Trump fire breather immediately. | ||
| So you went out and became a media figure and taking the MAGA message to the people. | ||
| You've been President Trump's closest supporter. | ||
| Now we're at the end of the first hundred days and you're seeing some basic building blocks that the Republican Party won't get in back of him on. | ||
| Or they have still their own kind of globalist, particularly in national security, of what they want to accomplish. | ||
| How can these guys up there think they exist without Trump and his base? | ||
| Well, here's the issue. | ||
| Never forget, I got here on my own with the people. | ||
| I didn't get elected with the president's endorsement. | ||
| I fought through a primary and a runoff, and I won. | ||
| And I won a general election. | ||
| President Trump endorsed me then, but I already won the general election anyways. | ||
| I would have won even without it. | ||
| I'm here because I genuinely believe and I'm fighting for what I believe in. | ||
| And what I believe in is what most Americans believe in. | ||
| So when I am making a call to action, and it's always early, I'm an early indicator, but when I'm making a call to action, people better pay attention. | ||
| And here's the issue, Steve, is they think they can manipulate the president, but you can't manipulate the base. | ||
| You can't manipulate the base. | ||
| And continuing to pursue the war in Ukraine, it's really a proxy war against Russia. | ||
| The CIA has been running it the entire time, and it started years ago. | ||
| You've asked and demanded, and I thought a conditioned precedent of these funding things where you demanded a simple audit. | ||
| Simple audit. | ||
| This is four years ago. | ||
| No, three years ago. | ||
| Have you seen the audit? | ||
| No, I haven't. | ||
| And I thought they promised in the House, you kind of filibustered for a while and said, we're not going to prove this. | ||
| You had a bunch of people voting with you, gags in that crowd. | ||
| And you guys, they committed to do a basic audit. | ||
| And now President Trump is saying $350 billion. | ||
| Other people are saying $250 billion. | ||
| There's a big spread. | ||
| But nobody knows where the money went. | ||
| That's because nobody knows. | ||
| And the Pentagon has failed its audit every single year over and over. | ||
| The money's been stolen. | ||
| This is pure money laundering. | ||
| Our weapons have been stolen and sold to our enemies. | ||
| Zelensky canceled elections in Ukraine. | ||
| They silenced people's First Amendment rights. | ||
| You know what else they did? | ||
| They silenced Christians' rights. | ||
| This is not democracy in Ukraine. | ||
| It's everything the opposite of democracy. | ||
| And I'm outraged to find out today and read the details, read the details of the agreement signed with Ukraine that ensures the, listen to this, ensures the security, prosperity, and reconstruction of Ukraine. | ||
| And the American people are tied in for, there's no end date to this. | ||
| The American people are not responsible for what happened in Ukraine. | ||
| The American people did not bomb Ukraine. | ||
| The American people did not murder Ukrainians. | ||
| The American people should not be on the hook for their security, prosperity and reconstruction. | ||
| Let's talk about reconstruction. | ||
| How about California? | ||
| How about where the California fires have destroyed so many homes? | ||
| How about Georgia and North Carolina on the hurricane? | ||
| 100%. | ||
| How about reconstructing Americans' homes? | ||
| What about Lahaina? | ||
| We can go down the list. | ||
| We can talk about every hurricane. | ||
| We can talk about every natural disaster in America. | ||
| How about let's talk about... | ||
| Reconstructing American lives from the drug pandemic that has been forced on this nation by the Mexican cartels. | ||
| How about that one? | ||
| And when I listen, when I look on social media and I see threats to, we're going to bomb Iran, but then we're going to ask permission from the Mexican president if we can go in and take out the cartels that are murdering Americans every single day. | ||
| I'm sorry, this is not what resonates with the American people. | ||
| They scream hypocrisy. | ||
| Hang on for one second. | ||
| Take a short commercial break. | ||
| Congressman Marjorie Taylor Greene is in the house in the war room to kick off a pretty intense week. | ||
|
unidentified
|
in a moment. | |
| I'm going to answer that question. | ||
| I will answer it. | ||
| It's true. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Because they should be. | ||
| They are horrible people that have been killing people left and right. | ||
| They've made a fortune in selling drugs and destroying our people. | ||
| We've lost 300,000 people last year to fentanyl and drugs. | ||
| They're bad news. | ||
| Yeah, that's true. | ||
| If Mexico wanted help with the cartels, we would be honored to go in and do it. | ||
| I told her that. | ||
| I would be honored to go in and do it. | ||
| The cartels are trying to destroy our country. | ||
| They're evil. | ||
| And, you know, we had 300,000 people die last year from fentanyl and all of that. | ||
| We had hundreds, we had millions of people brought into this country that shouldn't be here. | ||
| The cartels brought them in. | ||
| So if she said that I offered to do that, she's 100% right. | ||
| Well, she's so afraid of the cartel, she can't walk. | ||
| And I think she's a lovely woman. | ||
| But the president of Mexico is a lovely woman, but she is so afraid of the cartels that she can't even think straight. | ||
| Okay, we have, as you brought up, and he gave your interviews with The Weeknd, we sent more air defense to Zelensky over the weekend, right? | ||
| And he's citing the fact of the economic deal to do that. | ||
| You've had this situation over the weekend with the Houthis, and now President Trump, the Mexican president saying, I'm not going to give you permission to come in and use military force against the threat to this nation, which is the Chinese Communist Party and their partners, the Mexican drug cartels, flooding fentanyl up here and killing more people in a year than we lost in all of Vietnam. | ||
| This is the opposite of what we said. | ||
| It's the opposite of what we promised. | ||
| We said no more foreign wars. | ||
| We said enough with Ukraine. | ||
| We're going to end that war. | ||
| Enough of the bloodshed. | ||
| Too many people have been slaughtered. | ||
| It's wiping out an entire generation of young men, husbands, wives, people's brothers, sons. | ||
| It's horrific. | ||
| However, we just sent weapons to Ukraine. | ||
| That's the opposite of what we said. | ||
| That's the opposite of what I said, and that's the opposite of what the president said on the campaign trail. | ||
| And this minerals deal that was signed... | ||
| It's not in the best interest for America. | ||
| President Trump said he was pretty reluctant to do this, but he said we can somehow get our money back. | ||
| We'll try to do this. | ||
| We can't get our money back. | ||
| That's like saying that going into Iraq looking for weapons of mass destruction and saying that oil in the Middle East will pay America. | ||
| Well, we're $36 trillion in debt today. | ||
| That really wasn't a good deal. | ||
| We're not going to get our money back by spending a fortune in Ukraine with security, military, and mining their rare earth minerals. | ||
| That's not going to pay us back. | ||
| Afghanistan, you know what? | ||
| Steve, let's not ignore the fact that we abandoned rare earth mineral mines in Afghanistan. | ||
| That we spent 20 years building the infrastructure for those mines. | ||
| Two and a half trillion dollars. | ||
| China owns those now. | ||
| This is the reality. | ||
| That should be a write-off. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| When you have a failed product launch in a business, you write off the loss and you move on and make a profit somewhere else. | ||
| If the base is opposed to these, why is it that Hill overwhelmingly supports these actions you just talked about? | ||
| They're in President Trump's ear all the time. | ||
| Plus, the Republican establishment and the national security and finance part of the establishment is all for all of this, too. | ||
| And they surround President Trump and in his ear all the time. | ||
| How can there be this separation from the elected officials that the MAGA base voted for and put in here in the policies that they ran on? | ||
| Well, you know, I don't think President Trump wanted this deal. | ||
| I think there's... | ||
| There's a massive amount of people here in Washington that make money on these deals. | ||
| This is going to make a lot of people rich. | ||
| Mining rare earth minerals in Ukraine. | ||
| Now, let's face the reality that there are minerals that we need. | ||
| America definitely needs rare earth minerals, but it's my belief that we can find them either right here in the United States on federal lands. | ||
| We just need to process them. | ||
| We just need to release the land and mine for them. | ||
| Rare earth is essentially dirt, right? | ||
| There's plenty of it. | ||
| We got it here, plenty of it here. | ||
| It's everywhere. | ||
| And that will make America rich. | ||
| American jobs, American companies, American mining. | ||
| This is how you put America first. | ||
| So I'm just, I'm sorry, I'm not on page with this. | ||
| I support the president with all my heart, but I'm not on page with this. | ||
| And I won't vote to fund a single bullet or penny to Ukraine. | ||
| I'm personally not going to do it. | ||
| I'm not going to be on the hook for that. | ||
| Over the weekend, talking about the House, there was this bill, and you're a Bible-believing Christian, correct? | ||
| 100%, from the first page to the last. | ||
| And you've been a supporter of Israel. | ||
| This weekend, talk to me about this bill that some of the biggest supporters of Israel, Gates, Charlie Kirk, Steve Bannon and parts of the Bannon operation, the War Room operation, MTG, were adamantly opposed to coming out of the House. | ||
| We're defending freedom. | ||
| This isn't anti-Semitism. | ||
| We're not pushing that. | ||
| We don't promote it. | ||
| We don't want to have anything to do with it. | ||
| We don't want hate for any people, for their identity, race, religion, whatever. | ||
| Here's the situation. | ||
| This bill is promoting anti-Semitism in America, Steve, and I'll tell you why. | ||
| Because when Americans see Another country, any country, and their interests constantly being pushed and promoted here in Washington, D.C., before the American people's interests and the things they voted for are being voted on on the House floor, that is driving anti-Semitism. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's a problem. | |
| Is that why one of the reasons people under 40... | ||
| Or it's like 90-10 now, don't support Israel? | ||
| Is this one of the reasons? | ||
| I can't speak for that. | ||
| I have no idea. | ||
| But I'll just tell you it's black and white and simple. | ||
| We're not going to... | ||
| I'm not. | ||
| I'm sure plenty of my Republican colleagues were going to, but I am not going to vote on a bill that tells Americans or American companies who they can buy and who they can boycott. | ||
| Because in America, you have the freedom to buy and boycott whoever you want. | ||
| Steve, whether I agree with it or not, people hate on me every day. | ||
| They give me death threats every single day. | ||
| They say lies about me every single day, and I still defend their freedom to do that. | ||
| That's called the First Amendment. | ||
| And I'm completely opposed to a bill that would push international court and international laws on Americans. | ||
| And that's what that bill was going to do. | ||
| That's why I oppose it. | ||
| However... | ||
| There's a lot of people in America that are sick and tired of saying, I don't want to fight Israel's wars. | ||
| I don't want to have to constantly support Israel's interests. | ||
| And that is what is driving anti-Semitism in America. | ||
| And it's wrong. | ||
| It's completely wrong. | ||
| If we just do our job, and our job and what we campaigned on was putting America first. | ||
| And it's so simple. | ||
| But in the House, I have yet to see... | ||
| President Trump's executive orders in mass being voted on. | ||
| We hardly have seen that. | ||
| I have yet to see rescissions. | ||
| Doge cuts made permanent. | ||
| And I haven't seen our reconciliation bill done. | ||
| And let me tell you what a big deal that is, Steve. | ||
| In Joe Biden's first 100 days, Nancy Pelosi got 11 bills to his desk. | ||
| And that included the Democrats' reconciliation bill. | ||
| They had it done in the first 100 days. | ||
| President Trump's first 100 days, Steve. | ||
| We got five, and we got a CR, a Biden Democrat CR, to President Trump's desk that he should have never been forced to endorse, and I should have never been forced to have to vote for him. | ||
| We're going to have a $2 trillion deficit this year, fiscal year, because we're off of Biden's numbers. | ||
| I want to go back. | ||
| Of the 130-some... | ||
| Executive orders, which will leave whenever President Trump, which will go, the next president has the ability to either enforce them or tear them up. | ||
| You're saying you want to see those codified. | ||
| You have not seen any movement in the House to codify most of his executive orders. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| We have a Republican-controlled House. | ||
| We have a Republican-controlled Senate. | ||
| Now, we do have the 60-vote problem in the Senate. | ||
| But is it no interest in the House? | ||
| At least in the House you can get this rolling and make it a political issue. | ||
| If every Republican understands the mandate in the House, they should have no problem voting for all these executive orders. | ||
| After all, this is what we campaign on. | ||
| This is my point. | ||
| That's the separation between President Trump's action coming from the executive, not followed up by the legislative. | ||
| Every single one of President Trump's orders, executive orders, are temporary unless they Every single one of them are temporary. | ||
| Every single thing we fought for for the past four years, every single dollar donated, every single door knocked, every single vote cast will be thrown away unless Republicans codify these things into law. | ||
| Let's go to the money side. | ||
| President Trump and I was with the CRA guys over the weekend and they're not going to go forward with impoundments because the House says we're going to do rescissions first. | ||
| Where are the rescissions? | ||
| I haven't seen them. | ||
| Here's the situation. | ||
| Rescissions, there's no excuses. | ||
| Pass the House, and you need only a majority in the Senate. | ||
| You only have 51 votes. | ||
| That's not a 60-vote margin. | ||
| Rescissions are easy. | ||
| And we could have hundreds of billions of dollars of rescissions right now, correct? | ||
| That's right. | ||
| We could easily do that in America. | ||
| America supports Doge. | ||
| Americans support this. | ||
| So there's no action coming from the House at all to codify those cuts? | ||
| I haven't seen them. | ||
| I held an explosive hearing as the chair of the Doge Committee. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| On NPR and PBS. | ||
| We should have seen a rescission the very next week. | ||
| President Trump had to write an executive order defunding NPR and PBS. | ||
| This is a no-brainer. | ||
| Why haven't we seen that voted on the House floor? | ||
| Why haven't we seen that go to the Senate? | ||
| What came off of your committee seemed like House... | ||
| You could just turn around and just do it. | ||
| President Trump's head blew up. | ||
| Everybody's when they saw it. | ||
| That's when he waited long enough and finally said, I'll sign an executive order. | ||
| And do you know what people across the country would have done? | ||
| Good job, Republicans! | ||
| Thank you! | ||
| Finally. | ||
| But we got nothing. | ||
| And I want to hang on. | ||
| We're going to talk about reconciliation when we get back. | ||
| Can you stay for another segment? | ||
| Congressman Margie Taylor Greene in the House, by the way, or in the House here, what action are you going to demand they take today when you walk across the street to the Capitol? | ||
| Well, we don't gather up until 6.30 for votes, so I don't really get to demand anything today. | ||
| By the way, I looked at the schedule. | ||
| You guys are not here that much between now and the 4th of July break. | ||
| We're here this week, and then two more weeks after that, we have a Memorial Day week off. | ||
| We're back, I think, three and a half weeks in June. | ||
| But it's not a lot of time. | ||
| Not a lot of time. | ||
| Did you take this much time off when you ran your company? | ||

Never. | |

Here's your host, Stephen K. Band. | |
| The Rio Reset. | ||
| Today at 6 o 'clock, we're having an entire hour on the weaponization of the dollar. | ||
| From one of the top experts in the country, it's kind of, we're kicking off our road to Rio. | ||
| We're sending a huge team there on July 6th. | ||
|

|
The Birch Gold guys and plus war room personnel will be there. | |
| Just like Jack Posobiec, others are leaving for Rome, for the Vatican, for the Conclave. | ||
|

|
Jack will be leaving tomorrow, I think. | |
| He's going to be on the show this morning, representing us over there. | ||
| Birchgold.com. | ||
| Talk to Philip Patrick and the team. | ||
| Okay, a couple things. | ||
| Number one, Financial Times is leading with a huge story on China, export, trade war, economic warfare, etc., etc. | ||
| If memory serves me correctly, Congressman Green, you not only chaired the subcommittee on Doge, you also chaired a subcommittee... | ||
| On the Wuhan lab, on COVID, on the pandemic, on all of it. | ||
| Not chaired. | ||
| I was on the subcommittee. | ||
| But it was like you were the chair. | ||
| You kind of took it over. | ||
| I tried. | ||
| Talk to me about CDC, Wuhan lab, Fauci, China, reparations, this whole thing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Because you guys found tremendous information, incredible hearings. | ||
| Where are we with that? | ||
| It's hilarious to watch the New York Times come out and try to tell the truth about COVID. | ||
| Steve, here's the situation. | ||
| Let's look at the dynamic. | ||
| The people that voted for the president and Republicans in November 2024. | ||
| A very important part of this segment is the Maha movement. | ||
| And RFK Jr. gets incredible... | ||
| He's responsible. | ||
| If you merge Maha and MAGA, you have a... | ||
| That's how we won. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| It's like 1932, you govern forever. | ||
| 100%. | ||
| And so many Americans that were against the COVID lockdowns, against the forced masking, especially of their children in schools, against the COVID vaccine, and now are outraged that why haven't we seen the CDC? | ||
| Pull the COVID vaccine off the childhood vaccine schedule. | ||
| Healthy children do not need a COVID vaccine. | ||
| COVID vaccines are responsible for millions in deaths and vaccine injuries. | ||
| Myocarditis is all documented. | ||
| And many Americans are saying, where's the accountability? | ||
| When are we going to see justice for this? | ||
| When are we going to see Fauci? | ||
| Prosecuted. | ||
| Well, we can't lie. | ||
| We have to recognize the fact that Joe Biden gave Fauci a pardon. | ||
| There is that to deal with. | ||
| So you can't just go in there blind and say, damn it, arrest him. | ||
| Why hasn't that happened? | ||
| There is that pardon there. | ||
| But you're calling for a formal investigation. | ||
| It has to start. | ||
| It has to start. | ||
| And look, now we've got China trying to blame the United States of America for For COVID-19? | ||
| Well, yeah, we can be really honest about the gain of function and the money that was funded to the Wuhan lab. | ||
| We can't ignore those facts. | ||
| All of that is real. | ||
| And we have to address it in front of the American people. | ||
| American people don't know this. | ||
| And the American people do know it. | ||
| And see, that's where the dishonesty is repulsive and the American people are sick of it. | ||
| The CDC is in Georgia, in Atlanta, correct? | ||
| CDC is in Atlanta. | ||
| What do you want to see in the CDC? | ||
| Reorganization? | ||
| Refocus? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| The number one thing I want to see is I want to see the CDC. | ||
| We pull the COVID vaccine off the childhood vaccine schedule. | ||
| As a matter of fact, that childhood vaccine schedule is terrifying. | ||
| The amount of... | ||
| The 60 vaccines or something? | ||
| 72. 72 or 74. I'm not sure on that number, but I know it's very high. | ||
| And the autism rates are off the charts. | ||
| And this is an emergency. | ||
| You support RFK and what he's doing on the new rethinking through the vaccine protocols and the vaccine research? | ||
| I support them 100%, but I say move faster. | ||
| There's one that there's no excuse on. | ||
| Take the COVID-19 vaccine off the childhood vaccine schedule. | ||
| We don't need research. | ||
| There's plenty of research already there. | ||
| Let's talk about reconciliation. | ||
| We've got time for spending and cuts. | ||
| We were told we had to take Biden's budget, Nancy Pelosi's budget. | ||
| You've been fighting this for years. | ||
| I remember in the middle of the night, you were at these subcommittees or in the House fighting like USAID, USAID, and Republicans were voting the majority of the committees that we controlled. | ||
| You, Eli Crane, Matt Gaetz, 3 o 'clock in the morning, fighting it. | ||
| And the Republicans, so now... | ||
| Right. | ||
| I had a bill to defund the entire thing. | ||
| I think Eli Crane's was half of it. | ||
| Mine was defund the whole thing. | ||
| Throw it away. | ||
| It's nothing but a spy apparatus that does regime change in foreign countries and fake news everywhere. | ||
| It's like, why funded a penny? | ||
| President Trump's come forward with $163 billion. | ||
| Already people are in an uproar that's too much. | ||
| You're going to end everything. | ||
| The Pentagon's at a trillion bucks. | ||
| What is your general thinking as the big, beautiful bill spending part starts to work its way through the committees and starts to work its way back to the general House floor? | ||
| What are your thoughts on spending right now? | ||
| I love the military. | ||
| My dad was a Vietnam combat veteran that honorably served in Vietnam. | ||
| I love... | ||
| Every men and women that serve our nation, but our military budget is too high. | ||
| Everybody's sick of the foreign wars. | ||
| You come from one of the most patriotic parts of this country. | ||
| You better bet, yes. | ||
| And what do your constituents say about the Pentagon spending? | ||
| Oh, they're sick of it. | ||
| The Pentagon's failed an audit every single year, over and over and over again. | ||
| People from my district, you know who they are? | ||
| They're veterans that aren't getting help from the VA. | ||
| They're veterans that suffer from all kinds of health problems because of their military service, where they were sent in the world, because of what they were exposed to. | ||
| And they're like, why can't we get help? | ||
| Why is our suicide rate so high? | ||
| Why do we wait so long for doctor's appointments? | ||
| That's what I hear from people in my district. | ||
| I don't hear... | ||
| Listen to this, Steve. | ||
| I was joking about this weekend. | ||
| I was like, you know, I could go down to Waffle House and go, hey, Jimmy, Jimmy, you seen any Huthies in here? | ||
| Hey, I could go down to Walmart and go, hey, Eileen, you seen any Houthis? | ||
| Are they down on aisle nine? | ||
| You know what? | ||
| I swear to you, I could go down there and go to the barbecue restaurant in downtown Rome and go, look, hey, y 'all seen any Russians? | ||
| Any Russians killing Americans in here? | ||
| No. | ||
| The answer is no. | ||
| People in my district, and I'll argue, this is the general feeling in pretty much most of America, is they're like, we don't care. | ||
| We don't care, but I can tell you what I do know is that every emergency room across America every single night has people coming in because they're overdosing on drugs, and those drugs come from the cartels. | ||
| Those come from the cartels. | ||
| So if we're going to put up on Truth Social that we're just going to go bomb Iran, why are we not doing the same thing with the cartels in Mexico? | ||
| Because that's who's murdering Americans. | ||
| That's who's killing Americans. | ||
| President Trump said on the plane on the way back last night, he's not waiting for the Mexican president. | ||
| She says, hey, he offered military assistance. | ||
| She turned it down. | ||
| What would you tell the president? | ||
| I think President Trump is being very diplomatic. | ||
| And he's giving the president of Mexico, and look, let's be real honest, the Mexican people don't want to be controlled by the cartels. | ||
| Look at what happens to horrors in Mexico. | ||
| Human trafficking, child trafficking, unbelievably violent deaths, the kinds that we only see on movies. | ||
| And it's horrific. | ||
| I think Mexico... | ||
| I think the Mexican people, if they had their choice, Steve, they want to be great economic trade partners with the United States. | ||
| The Mexican people are Christians. | ||
| They don't want to be controlled by organizations that make their money on the blood, the death, and the drug addiction of Americans. | ||
| That's repulsive, and I can't imagine that the president of Mexico supports that either. | ||
| However, we're going to come to, there needs to be a line in the sand. | ||
| And I know the American people have said enough. | ||
| I've talked to enough mothers and fathers in my district. | ||
| Who had teenagers overdose on fentanyl because they didn't know that's what they were taking. | ||
| They thought they were taking a little pill to get high at some party. | ||
| But yet then their teenage daughter is dead hours later after she comes home and they find her cold body in the morning. | ||
| Like, that's the cartels. | ||
| That's who our enemy is. | ||
| Let's pivot to spending, or how we're going to afford to pay for this, the tax cuts. | ||
| You support, I take it, the additional, besides the 17 tax cuts being permitted for middle class and working class, also no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security. | ||
| How does that play in your district? | ||
| Do people realize that these things are on the table? | ||
| Massively. | ||
| I talked to a police officer at the airport yesterday in Atlanta, and he told me that he's allowed to take 80 hours of overtime per month. | ||
| We have to take all of it, but you want to know something? | ||
| It's a tax penalty if he takes more than about 20 to 25. Here's the deal. | ||
| When we give no tax on overtime in particular, that is going to help so many Americans in so many different kinds of jobs. | ||
| From police officers, to firemen, to nurses, to factory workers, to all these kind of people. | ||
| A lot of Americans have no problem working longer hours, but they shouldn't have to pay taxes on it. | ||
| And the best way to help Americans through these difficult financial times, or especially young people, Steve, my kids' age and their 20s, they have no hope of having like a single parent, I mean, I'm sorry, a one person working and then a stay-at-home mom or dad. | ||
| They have no hope for that. | ||
| And to own a house. | ||
| And to own a house. | ||
| No tax on tips, no tax on overtime. | ||
| On one salary. | ||
| And for the love of God, leave senior citizens alone. | ||
| Good Lord. | ||
| That's another tax on Social Security. | ||
| Do people now realize how deficits add to the debt and how that adds to the inflation and the financing of this? | ||
| Are people concerned about the debt? | ||
| People are concerned about the debt. | ||
| But you know what they're more concerned about? | ||
| Their ability to pay for groceries and rent. | ||
| They're more concerned about, like I said, drugs on their streets. | ||
| Homeless people that are just drugged out everywhere. | ||
| They're concerned about their children's schools. | ||
| We've got about three and a half minutes left. | ||
| What is your recommendation? | ||
| Everybody's talking about your tweet. | ||
| Fox News has got a huge story. | ||
| You've got three minutes. | ||
| What is your advice to the president? | ||
| Because he listens to you. | ||
| My advice to the president is simple. | ||
| Stick with the agenda and ignore the people here in Washington that are trying to get you to do something different. | ||
| And it's the Republicans that are the problem, Steve. | ||
| Here's the issue. | ||
| We're not going to get it done in two years. | ||
| It's not going to happen. | ||
| And actually, the American people are way smarter than Washington. | ||
| They know it's not going to get done in two years. | ||
| Because you already shut the border. | ||
| You show what you could do. | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| Tom Homan and them have killed it. | ||
| Remember, Lankford's bill had $2 million additional in like a year before anything kicked in. | ||
| Trump's done it and shut it down in 60 days. | ||
| Yeah, and we had Republicans supporting that bill. | ||
| It was a Republican bill. | ||
| It was a Republican bill. | ||
| We had to do it. | ||
| Trump was terrible because he wouldn't get along. | ||
| Oh, yeah, I know. | ||
| It's so absurd. | ||
| So stick to the program. | ||
| Stick to the program. | ||
| Program, deliver the campaign promises that we made and understand that the way to win the midterms is by the House and the Senate delivering the campaign promises because Trump's not on the ballot in 2026. | ||
| And that big turnout was for President Trump in 2024. | ||
| For War Room, he's always on the ballot. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's in perpetuity. | ||
| But Republicans have to understand that they can't walk away from the president's agenda. | ||
| Yeah, but here's the thing. | ||
| If you take the training wheels off, they fall off the bike right away because you see it right now. | ||
| There's not just 100%, 120% backing of the agenda. | ||
| And the Hill newspapers, they'll say Republicans are on board, but you're up there. | ||
| You know they're not on board. | ||
| Every day, you're fighting every day behind scenes. | ||
| I'm telling you, if you ignore the parents that are furious over COVID vaccines being on their childhood vaccine schedule, you're going to lose the midterms. | ||
| If you ignore the campaign promises of no tax on tips, overtime, and Social Security, you're going to lose the midterms. | ||
| If you ignore the executive... | ||
| To put them in the law. | ||
| If we're campaigning in 2026 on, you have to vote for Republicans because the Democrats are going to impeach Trump, the American people are going to go, we don't care. | ||
| We've seen that TV show before. | ||
| We've seen it twice. | ||
| We do not care. | ||
| We still support President Trump. | ||
| You're saying they can't hurt President Trump, and it's got to be something deeper than that. | ||
| It's got to be something deeper. | ||
| It's got to be something deeper. | ||
| And it's passing the agenda. | ||
| Where do people go? | ||
| Because now you're going to be doing media again, right? | ||
| We were just playing clips of you. | ||
| I think you're doing media. | ||
| They were great clips. | ||
| Yeah, I'm available for media, by the way. | ||
| They were great clips. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Where do people go to get all your content? | ||
| RepMTG is where you can see my content. | ||
| It's on fire. | ||
| That Twitter feed this weekend, man, you were changing the direction of current politics, as we say. | ||
| Just by being honest. | ||
| Imagine that. | ||
| Talking from the base. | ||
| Congressman, you're a patriot and a hero. | ||

Here's your host, Stephen K. Band. | |
| Okay, welcome back. | ||
| There were losses in Canada and in Australia because we had faux MAGA, faux nationalist populace running. | ||
|

|
Guys that never really got it, never really believed in it, never really talked about it, but Romania. | |
| Totally different. | ||
| The first round was just a huge win by George Simmons. | ||
| George, you join us now. | ||
| Talk to us about this. | ||
| You won the first round, I think, 15 points ahead of your next competitor. | ||
| Now we've got to go to the second round. | ||
| There's going to be all the concern about the EU trying to put their thumb on the scale because they're absolutely 100% adamantly opposed to you. | ||
| Walk us through your victory and what comes next. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hi, Steve. | |
| We totally bashed the globalists here in Romania. | ||
| I won, I had 40% of the votes, and my opponent in the second round had only 20% of the votes. | ||
| He's the mayor of Bucharest. | ||
| As I told you, in Washington we'll have elections in Romania and Poland for naming the next presidents of Romania and Poland. | ||
| Me and Karol Nawrowski are being the candidates on the MAGA ticket, so the Romanians love. | ||
| The American people, freedom and President Donald Trump, we won big time yesterday. | ||
| And the same thing will happen in Poland with our friend Karol Navrotsky. | ||
| They started beating each other, the candidates of the establishment of the deep state, and I was the only sovereignist candidate. | ||
| I am replacing Kalin Georgescu, who was banned, Irani-style, in Romania with cancelled elections. | ||
| We had millions of dead people on the electoral lists. | ||
| And now CNN and other media outlets present in Romania are telling their usual lies about me, trying to convince the Romanian people that Romania will be isolated and we will exit NATO and the European Union if I am the next president. | ||
| If I am the next president, we will be the best partner for the United States together with Poland. | ||
| And our competitor in the second round is the candidate that is supported by Ursula von der Leyen and Emmanuel Macron by the French and the German who want to We want to keep the free world as it is, free and united. | ||
| ...under the American flag. | ||
| So we'll have a very... | ||
| Two very interesting two weeks ahead of us. | ||
| I had some campaign events today. | ||
| All the Romanian people are supporting us. | ||
| You can imagine I almost obtained a majority of the votes yesterday. | ||
| So if the elections will be fair and free, if they will not try to arrest me, I said last time when I was in your TV show that it's possible they will... | ||
| They would try to eliminate us. | ||
| They would even try to kill us. | ||
| And the globalist MSM said Simeon is telling lies in Washington. | ||
| They would do anything in their power not to have MAGA people winning elections in Europe, but the European people are awakening and we are winning the elections everywhere. | ||
| George, why do they fear you? | ||
| Why does the EU fear your candidacy is all about the sovereignty for the Romanian people? | ||
| You're an unabashed nationalist, very much like President Trump in the MAGA base here. | ||
| You're a populist. | ||
| What is it specifically they fear about you, sir? | ||
|
unidentified
|
They fear that they will lose their jobs. | |
| They are controlled. | ||
| Every action in every EU state. | ||
| And it's clear that the people from the 27 states of the European Union don't want them anymore. | ||
| Macron has problems with popular support in France. | ||
| They cannot form a majority in Germany. | ||
| They have to put together in government all the parties. | ||
| So now we have a majority here in Romania that are voting, like you said, nationalist populists. | ||
| And they are scared that we will soon have a majority in the EU institutions, in the European Parliament, and Ursula von der Leyen cannot lead us, and we will change the path, like you changed it in the United States, from the globalist Soros-financed people, puppets, actually, to... | ||
| Patriotic government, melee style, Trump style, in which we will give power to the people. | ||
| We've got to bounce. | ||
| I've only got two minutes. | ||
| What is your fear about election integrity two weeks from now? | ||
| And what can this audience do, sir? | ||
|
unidentified
|
They will try anything to stop us. | |
| You must spread the word. | ||
| We will have to invite you, Steve, to some independent podcasters and TV channels that are still on the good side of things in Romania. | ||
| We need all the mega important figures to send signals that we want fair and free elections. | ||
| And the result will be a landslide. | ||
| We will be victorious and we will start the conservative revolution here in all 27 EU states. | ||
| I already was congratulated by Matteo Salvini, by Santiago Abascal, by other important right-wing leaders across the Europe. | ||
| So now it's your turn to spread the word in the States and assure that we will have fair and free elections here. | ||
| This is what we need from your side. | ||
| George, social media, where do people go to find out more about your heroic and patriotic campaign, sir? | ||
