This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
Pray for our enemies. | ||
unidentified
|
Because we're going medieval on these people. | |
I got a free shot 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? | ||
unidentified
|
MAGA Media. | |
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? | |
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. | ||
unidentified
|
Thank y 'all. | |
Thank you. | ||
Thank you. | ||
Courage at the point of attack, right? | ||
That is Russ Vogt's modus operandi. | ||
That's what he's taught us besides all the great, you know, thinking and architecture of this, the intellectual part and the action part of this. | ||
Study history or the process of history. | ||
You always think, hey, what is the point of contact? | ||
Like in World War II, when they're going across, what's the point of contact? | ||
What's the point of contact at Normandy? | ||
There's a movie, Gettysburg, have you ever seen it? | ||
It's got Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain. | ||
Who wasn't particularly well known except up in Maine and New England where he was a legend when he went back as governor of Maine in Bowdoin College. | ||
Well, he was a history professor. | ||
He was a classics teacher, right? | ||
And he had that, I guess, regiment of Maine men. | ||
And on day two, on the evening after the first, on day two, they actually said, hey, you've got to go to the left flank of the Union Army. | ||
And he gets down there, and they tell him, this right here is the end of the line. | ||
There's nothing to the left of you. | ||
And if the Confederate Army, they're coming up tomorrow morning, right, supposedly at dawn, and they can't flank you. | ||
And he meditated overnight getting his men ready, and he said he studied history his entire life. | ||
And he now understood that in history and anything in human endeavor, There actually is a point that is that point of contact, the end of the line. | ||
If Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain and those folks in Maine had not fixed bayonets late in the afternoon on the 2nd, they would have gotten the Union Army. | ||
It wouldn't have been any day three. | ||
It wouldn't have been any heroism of Cushing and those folks at the little stone wall there at the cost of trees. | ||
Because... | ||
Longstreet and Lee would have been on the outskirts of Washington, D.C. Why did I bring that up? | ||
You, in this room, are the point of contact. | ||
What has been accomplished by this group is, I don't think, ever been accomplished by any institution, at least in the modern history of this republic, and I've studied it pretty well. | ||
This is a revolution. | ||
To revert back to the constitutional republic that was bequeathed to us and has been taken decade after decade with the compliance, with the compliance of the Republican Party, the controlled opposition. | ||
And it took folks of a deeply religious and spiritual nature to say, Well, this is not going to happen on our watch. | ||
And that is why Russ Vogt and Mark Palletta and Jeff Clark and Ken Cuccinelli, all the great staff and people, and particularly the donors and people who support them, created CRA. | ||
unidentified
|
And just look at today. | |
The paper of record of our nation. | ||
Trump sees drastic cuts in core of U.S. spending. | ||
Right there. | ||
Lead story. | ||
Right? | ||
unidentified
|
Right? | |
Thank you. | ||
That doesn't happen unless this room exists. | ||
It doesn't happen. | ||
We don't come back, we don't win, and we don't execute. | ||
The Democracy Dies in Darkness, Jeff Bezos, Amazon, Washington Post. | ||
Trump takes axe to 2026 budget. | ||
Lead story. | ||
Right? | ||
I don't have the print editions, lead story in The Guardian, lead story in The Times of London, lead story in The Financial Times of London. | ||
Lead story on every significant paper to world leaders this morning. | ||
The work of this room and the work of folks that you support in this room. | ||
Now think about it for a second. | ||
When President Trump left on January 20th of 2021, That was a pretty dark day, right? | ||
President Trump had won the 2020 election. | ||
Okay? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
And I'm waiting for the House and the Senate and over at the FBI and DOJ to get off your ass and let's have a formal investigation of this. | ||
The American people, this republic demands accountability on that. | ||
Two things happened in those days. | ||
Number one was kind of a political movement of populist folks in the MAGA movement. | ||
Because remember, even probably half of MAGA was crushed and destroyed. | ||
To say, hey, our guy is Trump. | ||
We know we won. | ||
We've got, what, 73 million votes. | ||
Hell, I thought I did a pretty damn good job in 2016. | ||
63 million votes with no organization, no money. | ||
What is it, 74 million votes? | ||
It's unbelievable. | ||
I said, where in the hell did they find those other 10 million votes? | ||
Think about it. | ||
And by the way, the 5 or 6 million that defeated us, isn't it interesting? | ||
It's never showed back up at any other election. | ||
Not the midterms in 22. Never turned back up. | ||
The grassroots precinct strategy, because you have to put the guide on the hill and say, hey, guess what? | ||
We took a big, not a loss. | ||
We won, but it's a defeat. | ||
You've got to rally around it, and that's the political grassroots part of it. | ||
People, yes, I can go back. | ||
I can get my precinct. | ||
I can take it over. | ||
The Republican Party is structured to be a grassroots organization. | ||
We can do that. | ||
But also simultaneously, You have to go, what in the hell are we going to do next time? | ||
That is these kind of public intellectual heroes, the America First Policy Institute, with Brooks Rollins, Stephen Miller's America First Law, the folks over at CPI, Dement and Meadows. | ||
You've got the term that shall not be named, Project 2025, right? | ||
Dr. Roberts and those crowd over there. | ||
And you had Russ vote. | ||
And the special forces operation of those public intellectuals. | ||
Center for Renewing America. | ||
Think about it. | ||
This is why it's providential. | ||
It was providential we won in 16. I had a ringside seat. | ||
I saw it. | ||
We had a man. | ||
We had a plane. | ||
We had a message. | ||
We had no money. | ||
No organization. | ||
It was totally self-organizing. | ||
That was providential. | ||
The hand of God worked in that. | ||
Through an instrument that's not particularly churchy. | ||
Right? | ||
God works in mysterious ways. | ||
But look at the arc of this story. | ||
In 2020, it was providential. | ||
It was stolen. | ||
That's the work of God. | ||
Because we had to see, the nation had to see, of actually how radical they are, how Marxist they are, how dangerous they are. | ||
To run it like the Stasi. | ||
Remember the billboards? | ||
You see something, say something. | ||
All of that. | ||
The radical spending. | ||
And this is why the creation of CRA as something built upon the principles of the Judeo-Christian West and proud of it and upping your grill about it and not going to back off on it was so important. | ||
And we needed that four years. | ||
Think about if we had pulled off and reversed the big steal. | ||
The second term would have been like the Western Front in World War I. We would have just slugged it out for four years and made very little progress. | ||
We needed those four years to regroup. | ||
The heroes, Brooks Rollins, Stephen Miller, the guys at Heritage, the CPI guys, and particularly CRA, the career bet they made to say, hey, we're MAGA. | ||
We believe it's Trump coming back. | ||
You're getting ruled out. | ||
unidentified
|
Don't mix turmeric with these three ingredients unless you're ready to watch your paints falling off in just 15 days. | |
I'm saying this because I learned how to use turmeric out of all the other donors of the Republican Party because you guys are actually nutcases, right? | ||
You're weird. | ||
You actually want to take this back to a constitutional republic. | ||
And CRA has always been the tip of the tip of the spear. | ||
It's what Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain saw on the evening of July 1st at Gettysburg. | ||
It's right there. | ||
This is why Russ is not just about policies and these amazing verticals that lead us to the days of thunder, that lead us to flood the zone. | ||
Flood the zone was my idea. | ||
If you go back and look at the PBS thing. | ||
I'm sitting there going, yeah, we're going to flood the zone. | ||
We have like two or three things every day, right? | ||
It's a misdirection play. | ||
Hell, we got 12 or 15 every day now. | ||
That comes from this room. | ||
That comes from four years of thought. | ||
And hey, these EOs are tightly written and really thought through with the pay of letters and Jeff Clarks. | ||
You have heavy legal analysis tied to what we're doing. | ||
That's why the only place they can chop block us is in federal court with these radical Marxist judges. | ||
This is the third time I've spoken and been honored to speak. | ||
I do notice it gets earlier and earlier. | ||
Not that I'm whining about not being a dinner speaker, but... | ||
I think it is so magnificent to talk about God's hand working to have Secretary of State Rubio speak on the very day. | ||
And people, just to share another financial time, on the page of the FT, how much did it hurt the FT to put this on their thing? | ||
Trump ditches Waltz after MAGA wrath builds against National Security Advisor. | ||
And Mike Waltz is a good man. | ||
A really good man. | ||
I would have liked to see him promote it and go back to the Army and help sort things out there. | ||
But Secretary Rubio has done an extraordinary job, right? | ||
And his transformation's interesting, right? | ||
And you wouldn't have had the transformation if you didn't have CRA. | ||
Now, talking about those two times I talk, in 23, roughly around the same time, May of 23 and May of 24. Let's go back and look at the history of that. | ||
For those of you that... | ||
We're not here at the time or didn't have a chance to come by. | ||
In 23, I was, I think, the Friday night keynote speaker. | ||
And, you know, I'm doing, because you're out in Manassas Battlefield, I'm doing Civil War and, you know, going crazy, yelling and screaming like a madman. | ||
And at the end, they asked me to do a few Q&A. | ||
First Q&A, it's a table right over here, and it got like 10 of the biggest donors of CRA, right? | ||
And they go, hey, you know, DeSantis is going to, you know, getting ready to the thing, and DeSantis, and I literally, that's the dumbest idea I ever heard. | ||
Ryan DeSantis, I mean, Russ, you know, I've said, Russ, thank you for inviting me. | ||
I just cut your funding by 80%. | ||
Come on, man. | ||
That's what I said. | ||
Come on, man. | ||
This arc of this story, it's going to be Trump, right? | ||
What are we talking about? | ||
$400 million later. | ||
Remember, You don't think Russ Vogt and these guys took a career risk? | ||
Fox News did not have Trump on live for two years starting in '21. | ||
The risk that these folks took professionally, because if it hadn't turned out like we knew it was going to turn out, you're finished. | ||
You're out. | ||
And I was pretty blunt with these donors. | ||
It's not going to happen. | ||
You're wasting my time. | ||
Let's get a question that means something because DeSantis is not going to win the primary. | ||
And I got other news for you. | ||
He's never going to be the president of the United States of America, right? | ||
That didn't sit very well. | ||
Because the times have changed. | ||
You can see this. | ||
Last year, this is right before I went for my spa treatment at Danbury Federal Prison. | ||
It's interesting. | ||
The appeals court has not come back in a year. | ||
I did it. | ||
It's not just for executive privileges. | ||
It's for the separation of powers. | ||
Nancy Pelosi, it was a total rigged deal, right, that they didn't have any ranking member, no minority counsel. | ||
That's where the thing had no drama. | ||
The Republicans never got the information, the data, and couldn't cross-examine witnesses. | ||
And to prove, I went to prison proudly. | ||
Hell, I'd still be there. | ||
I don't give a damn. | ||
I don't. | ||
And prison's not fun. | ||
Those federal prisons are tough. | ||
And they're dangerous because of the drugs. | ||
And how many young people, they got locked up there. | ||
They got a lot of young people locked up there for drugs. | ||
But everybody on J6 crawled on their belly. | ||
To the White House and begged them for a blanket preemptive pardon. | ||
It's never been done in the history of this republic. | ||
Not just that, include the staff. | ||
They're all criminals. | ||
We know they know they're criminals. | ||
They know the criminality because the big thing they did was give the criminal referral on President Trump for 300 years in prison. | ||
Please understand something. | ||
And this is about today what the point is. | ||
The courage on the point of attack. | ||
This ain't over by a long shot. | ||
I mean a long shot. | ||
They steal it in 2028. | ||
Some of you in this room are going to end up in Danbury federal prison. | ||
They're extremists. | ||
They're here to crush this republic. | ||
They want to go back to exactly what they did in the Biden years and get more competent and more brutal people in to do it. | ||
Right? | ||
That's why right now is absolutely urgent. | ||
The second hundred days, Russ vote. | ||
And the folks at CRA, right, with working all the different verticals and thinking it through for four years, and this is not Steve Bannon saying this, this is actually Bloomberg Vanity Fair. | ||
By the way, is Russ Vogt become kind of a media, I don't want to say, whore's too strong a term. | ||
Good Lord, Russ, the quietest guy in the world. | ||
Bloomberg, big profiles everywhere. | ||
It's amazing. | ||
All of it negative, right? | ||
Which means he's doing something right. | ||
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
We're in the kill zone now. | ||
We've gotten through the first, first of all, it's the greatest political comeback in the history of the world. | ||
Not America, the world. | ||
This guy was out and had every institution against him. | ||
Then, since November, what's accomplished in Mar-a-Lago in the transition and now in the first hundred days has been historic. | ||
Historic. | ||
The urgency, the scale, the depth, it's never been seen before. | ||
You know, what Bill Clinton did in eight years, Trump's doing in two or three days on the depth and scale of this, the importance of it. | ||
Everything absolutely essential and every vertical. | ||
Whether it's, you know, America first national security, economic nationalism, populist economic policy, the deportations, getting our sovereignty back, everything the CRA has worked out for us over the years. | ||
Boom, boom, boom. | ||
That's the 100 days. | ||
And they were overwhelmed. | ||
We broke them. | ||
Hell, Rachel Maddow. | ||
And I thought, look, because you have to have a place to rally around. | ||
This is what the war rooms tried to do in 21. Get an information center so people can get information. | ||
And you have to have small wins, victories. | ||
But you've got to get the information out to make sure that the units can kind of talk to each other, like a committee on correspondence, and be a force multiplier and pass that through. | ||
That's what Rachel Maddow does for the left, her show. | ||
Because, you know, the New York Times has spread it out. | ||
And she announced 100 days she's coming back. | ||
And I thought, hey, the way she's doing it, and she's doing a good job of coordinating, she'll clearly just announce on the 99th day, hey, for the good of the country and to stop Trump and these autocrats, right, the autocratic breakthrough, and Russ Vogt, the Christian nationalist, right? | ||
To stop that, I'm not going to leave after 100 days. | ||
I'm going to be here for all four years, every day. | ||
Because to save the Republic from these barbarians, it has to take place. | ||
No. | ||
On the last night, she had a nervous breakdown on TV, throwing her toys out of the pram of how bad Rust Vote is and Christian nationalism and the CRA barbarians and Trump and all of it. | ||
And she's going back to her barn in Connecticut. | ||
Yeah, that's a huge win. | ||
It's a huge win. | ||
It's a huge win. | ||
Lady, if you're not in this every day, you're not in it. | ||
You can't put your toe in and come back out. | ||
Right? | ||
It's one of the great things of resilience and grit. | ||
Look, CRA, talk about having a re-staff. | ||
How many folks do we have in the administration? | ||
It's got to be two-thirds of the staff or 50% of the staff, particularly a lot of the leadership. | ||
That shows you resilience. | ||
That shows you grit. | ||
That's what we have. | ||
If the revolution shows us anything, if you don't quit, you're eventually going to win. | ||
This is what Trump's comeback showed. | ||
If you don't quit, you're eventually going to win. | ||
Now, there's a lot that goes in not quitting, right? | ||
There's a lot that goes in not quitting because it gets tough and it's going to get a lot tougher. | ||
And that's why I'm here today to say, hey, look, you're seeing now what I call the convergence of crises. | ||
The convergence of crises, number one, is the kinetic part of the Third World War, which President Trump is trying to end. | ||
People go, Steve, why do you keep calling it the Third World War? | ||
Well, I said, okay, in the Second World War, if you go from September of 1939, the invasion of Poland, to the German army's attack against the Russians, Operation Barbarossa, in June of 1941, you look at all the casualties and what happened, the fall of France, the fall of the West, the Blitz, the Battle of Britain. | ||
All of it, North Africa, not the whole campaign, but starting North Africa, even Finland, it's a couple hundred thousand casualties. | ||
Countries fell, you know, a lot of people dead, but three, four, five hundred thousand max. | ||
In Ukraine, there's a million two to a million five dead or wounded. | ||
The scale of destruction in Ukraine, the Russians now, this is Ian Bremer's numbers, not President Trump's and not Steve Bannon's. | ||
He says there's 800,000 to a million Russian casualties, dead or wounded. | ||
And there's another 600,000 or maybe 700,000 total Ukrainians, and the place looks like Dresden. | ||
And then look at the destruction, look at the destruction in Gaza. | ||
Right? | ||
And now we've got two carry battle groups in the Red Sea to keep the Suez Canal open for our great trading partners in the EU who are stiffing us on a trade deal. | ||
So this is much more dangerous. | ||
And President Trump's trying to juggle it and then you're cutting an economic deal and trying to do a Russian rapprochement. | ||
That's quite complicated. | ||
But if you look at that arc of instability from kind of Ukraine and Belarus all the way through the Balkans and Turkey, all the way through Syria, Israel, you know, Persia, all of it down to the Red Sea, throwing Pakistan, just what happened in Kashmir the other day. | ||
Hey, that is a place that's like that on Lighting Up. | ||
And then metastasizing what's happening going into Ukraine, you're going to have a third world war that's going to be 10x brutal as the second where we killed a couple hundred million people and made the 20th century like the new dark ages. | ||
That's what Trump's doing part-time to try to end that. | ||
The others, you've got taking our sovereignty back and the border crisis and immigration. | ||
Completely captured American politics for 20 years. | ||
And remember, Lankford and the controlled opposition Republicans came up with a bill. | ||
Right? | ||
Came up with a bill. | ||
And it was 2 million more illegals before anything kicked in. | ||
Forget the tens of billions of dollars, but it was going to be 2 million. | ||
This is where they came to the solution. | ||
2 million more illegals coming in before even some modicum of controls. | ||
And then they would still allow more in. | ||
Trump shut it down in 60 days based upon the thinking and policies of Cuccinelli and Russ Vogt and CRA. | ||
In 60 days! | ||
And pay a letter, the whole theory of the unitary theory of the executive, as Mike Davis refers to it, Article 2, right? | ||
But this is, he's Chief Executive Officer of the United States. | ||
He's Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. | ||
And this is the part they hate. | ||
He's Chief Magistrate and Chief Law Enforcement Officer of the United States government. | ||
All three of those is functions. | ||
He can fire people. | ||
He doesn't need permission. | ||
He can actually do, he can impound money. | ||
Did I say that? | ||
Impound money? | ||
Russ, what's this rescission stuff, man? | ||
Give me some impoundments. | ||
Let's start impounding. | ||
He can impound money. | ||
He can redirect the spending as he sees fit. | ||
And as a commander-in-chief, no judge, nobody can come in between him and his sworn duty to heaven to protect us. | ||
Did not Abraham Lee. | ||
And I'm saying, hey, you're playing patty cake with these judges now, the Supreme Court. | ||
There's nothing in the Constitution about judicial supremacy. | ||
Remember, and I'm more radical than this. | ||
I'm saying, hey, Abraham Lincoln, you wouldn't have had a country if Abraham Lincoln had not suspended habeas corpus in a time of war. | ||
Right? | ||
Wouldn't have had it. | ||
You know, it's that story where to basically reinforce this city and make sure that the rebel forces from my hometown, Richmond, Virginia, did not come in the first days of the war and take Washington. | ||
You had to come through Baltimore. | ||
Hell, to get to the Willard Hotel just across the street, Lincoln had to sneak in in the middle of the night, right? | ||
Through a train. | ||
Then they blocked everything. | ||
Lincoln went up and he arrested the city council and the mayor because Baltimore is basically a secessionist city. | ||
It was a southern city. | ||
He arrested them. | ||
And Judge, was it Taney? | ||
Taney came to him, you know, the Dred Scott guy, the guy that had kind of gotten us in this mess, right? | ||
He comes to him and says, hey, I noticed that you've, you know, you've got these people locked up, the mayor and the city council. | ||
And by the way, the troops came through and relieved the city. | ||
He says, I noticed you got them locked up, and unless you indict them in 48 hours, I'm going to have a writ of habeas corpus, and we're going to let them go. | ||
And he called John Hay from the Hay Adams Hotel, but later became Secretary of State. | ||
He was a 21-year-old male secretary. | ||
He says, come over here. | ||
Don't write this down. | ||
He said, just word for word. | ||
He said, go over and see the chief judge, and you tell him that if he releases the city council and the mayor on a writ of habeas corpus, I will put him in prison. | ||
unidentified
|
Right? | |
They stayed for four years. | ||
Right? | ||
Lincoln ran it like a warlord. | ||
He had to to save the Republic. | ||
He and Seward would sit there and go, it's the inherent powers of the Constitution for the executive branch, right? | ||
And these are two pretty smart guys. | ||
We're going to get there because now we've got a constitutional crisis. | ||
Because they're trying to chop block us right now and make it so painful to take out the criminals and the terrorist elements that we give up on the 10 million. | ||
Let me tell you something. | ||
All 10 million are going to get deported. | ||
If we don't do that, we don't have a country. | ||
And Wall Street's going to come in and tell you, hey, they're adding two percentage points to the GDP and they've driven down wages. | ||
It doesn't matter. | ||
You either have a country or you don't have a country. | ||
We have to be very humane about how it's done, but it has to happen. | ||
unidentified
|
The greatest innovator, liberator, cultivator, freedom knows. | |
So I suggest you take a look inside. | ||
Because I think you've changed already. | ||
And you see what's happening right now. | ||
So the converging, this next hundred days, and I've had a pretty good track record of calling these shots, are going to be one of the most intense summers in the history of this country. | ||
And one of the most important, because it's converging. | ||
You can see it's converging. | ||
Don't think, don't think that Russ votes budget cuts. | ||
Oh, they're going to say, this is terrific, right? | ||
This is going to be, this is terrific. | ||
Can we have some more of that? | ||
It's not going to happen. | ||
This city, the political class is addicted to spending. | ||
Why? | ||
The elites in the country, the more they spend, the greater the concentration of wealth becomes. | ||
The federal spending in these massive deficits are what? | ||
It's imprisoning working class and the middle class. | ||
We're killing American capitalism every day. | ||
The economy, people out there on CNBC, you know, it was the greatest economy. | ||
The economists, it's the greatest economy. | ||
I go, what are you talking about? | ||
If we didn't have $2 trillion deficits, this thing's negative growth for years. | ||
And we can't sell it. | ||
Japan last night put a shot across our bow, if you haven't seen it, folks. | ||
What did the Japanese say? | ||
Well, in these trade negotiations, yeah, you know, the reciprocity and non-tariff barriers, we have a discussion. | ||
But that $1 trillion of government securities we own, that's going to have to factor in here. | ||
When the Japanese Central Bank, the Bank of Japan tells you that, you should take that as a papal bull, right? | ||
This is going to get ugly, very ugly. | ||
The ability to go to the capital markets time and time again and have this phony thing with the Fed, we're buying our own debt. | ||
That's all coming to an end. | ||
In July, in Rio, they're coming together, the BRICS nations. | ||
They're not going to shift off the dollar as a prime reserve currency right away, but they're working it every day because they want to see an alternative. | ||
They think the United States has too much power, and that power is based upon Bretton Woods. | ||
That power is based upon the dollar as a prime reserve currency. | ||
That is the single... | ||
You're going to have, between now and the time the big, beautiful bill actually comes up for a vote, which I'm telling you right now, take your number two pencil out and write it down. | ||
The vote on this thing is not going to be until after Labor Day. | ||
This is not. | ||
This is too complicated. | ||
And not enough work's been done. | ||
Russ can tell you that. | ||
Hell, if it wasn't for Russ' vote over an OMB, I'm not so sure any work would get done. | ||
Right? | ||
This thing, they'll tell you. | ||
The really serious budget and really serious analysis has come from Russ and the team over at OMB. | ||
It certainly hasn't come from the house side. | ||
Also, I hate to just do some basic math, but if you look at a growth rate of 1.8% or 2.5%, you pick it. | ||
Anywhere in between. | ||
Hell, I'll give you 3%. | ||
You take that growth rate, you look at this spending, these cuts will never get done. | ||
Not all of them. | ||
Not even the Medicaid ones that you need, the smart Medicaid cuts that you need, and certainly the sacred cow of the defense budget. | ||
Look, I'm a naval officer for eight years, four at sea in the North Arabian Sea, Persian Gulf, Western Pacific, Seventh Fleet, and four back in the building, back in the Pentagon. | ||
A trillion dollars. | ||
Somebody's got to get a grip on this thing, right? | ||
You notice Elon, with all that big talk, crossed the Potomac. | ||
All I heard was crickets. | ||
Not that you would possibly find any waste, fraud, and abuse over in the Pentagon. | ||
Right? | ||
Crickets. | ||
Crickets. | ||
Let me say something else about Doge. | ||
I said this from the beginning. | ||
You've got to merge Doge into the OMB process. | ||
The $163 billion of cuts, that's 100% Russ vote. | ||
Okay? | ||
Those are programmatic cuts of Russ vote in the team. | ||
To date, and I want to find it because they presented it around town like there's going to be some magic wand. | ||
They're also going to find a trillion dollars worth of fraud. | ||
A trillion dollars worth of fraud have been fantastic, but it gets the political class off the hook of actually trying to right-size this government and get back to limited government, deconstruct the administrative state, and take out the deep state. | ||
That's the big fight we're going to have this summer. | ||
It's going to consume everything. | ||
At the same time, he's trying to stop. | ||
The kinetic part of the Third World War. | ||
Oh, by the way, and start the process of actually deporting 10 million illegal aliens. | ||
Think of these. | ||
This is why I said I gave this speech in Pinehurst almost two years ago or a year and a half ago. | ||
You converge these type of spending cuts with deporting 10 million illegal alien invaders, you better hunker down and be ready for a fight because they're going to be in the streets and it's going to be a test of wills. | ||
One side's going to win on this and one side's going to lose. | ||
If you want to save your country, This summer is going to be the time where there's going to be counting. | ||
And since we did it outside as a revolutionary action, like our founding fathers in the revolutionary generation, now we have to shift and kind of do both what they did, revolutionary generation to the founding generation, which are not totally together, right? | ||
They're different because it's different to govern than to be the party in opposition. | ||
So now we have the complexity of having to hold our coalition together. | ||
I'm adamant, and the budget yesterday proves my point. | ||
You can give the growth rate a 2.5%. | ||
You can take this budget and maybe even have additional cuts. | ||
And do the tax cuts President Trump's promised, the massive tax cut, the populist tax cut, of addition to extending for the middle class and the working class of the 17, add no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and no tax on Social Security? | ||
I don't know, Russ. | ||
I haven't done the math. | ||
I think it's going to come out this week. | ||
This is a $2, $2.5 trillion deficit. | ||
The only way you get close... | ||
To start to close the gap is the upper bracket cannot have an extension of the 2017 tax cut. | ||
It's not going to happen. | ||
First of all, politically, it's a no-brainer. | ||
But let's see the politics aside. | ||
Just the math of it. | ||
And I realize coming and talking to Republicans, I'm not getting a standing ovation on that, right? | ||
Right? | ||
If you want to have a 1932 type realignment where we govern for 50 to 100 years, you do that, you kill them. | ||
They're not anti-oligarch. | ||
What's anti-oligarch is what you're seeing this week in Trump's FTC that has Facebook in the dock breaking up Facebook in a federal court. | ||
It's what the Justice Department, Gail Slater and her team, Omid, has ghoul in two federal courts. | ||
One in Northern Virginia, one in Washington, D.C. breaking them up. | ||
And oh, by the way, this week took a body slam at Apple. | ||
That's how you break up oligarchs. | ||
It's not Bernie Sanders' guys winding around talking about federal minimum wage. | ||
That's all happy talk. | ||
Trump's doing the hard work. | ||
This is where we're going to go. | ||
This convergence of crises is going to make this the toughest time we've ever had, not just at CRA, at the country. | ||
And that's why your support of this group and, quite frankly, support of President Trump's agenda is going to be so important. | ||
And this is going to get quite brutal. | ||
And there are going to be certain times when it looks like certain of our colleagues, whether the House Freedom Caucus, the Chip Royce, the world, other people, maybe not always on the same side of the football. | ||
I'm adamant about this, the tax increases. | ||
It has to happen. | ||
The math just, if anybody can show me a set of math, any set of math that comes close to working without that, I'm open. | ||
I don't want to tax the wealthy. | ||
I don't want to soak the rich too much, right? | ||
The reason you have to do it is we have a capitalist system with no capitalist, right? | ||
We have 70% or 75%, 25% of the country or 20% own virtually 99.9% of the assets in the country. | ||
You can't continue like that. | ||
We're at a fork in the road and this summer is going to highlight that fork. | ||
We're either going to go down the path of the MAGA movement, the Trump revolution, populist nationalism, economic nationalism, more populism, building our coalition, bringing in more African American men, bringing in more Hispanic families, Asians, and build this so that we take a 10, 15, 20 seat majority in the House, pick up another five, six seats in the Senate, and continue to have the electoral college where we've got it and just roll with administration after administration. | ||
They're going to go down the path of Luigi Mangione. | ||
He's a hero to those people. | ||
He laid in wait for a guy, stepped out, and in cold blood at point-blank range, shot him in the back. | ||
Probably the most anti-American thing you could possibly do. | ||
He's a hero to these folks. | ||
And that's why if you watch their tour, the anti-eligarch tour, they're ginning that up. | ||
With no policies to go against the billionaires that control the Democratic Party. | ||
They had control of all of it. | ||
Did they ever come out with a populist tax cut like President Trump? | ||
unidentified
|
Ever? | |
Never. | ||
Never. | ||
House, Senate, Schumer, Pelosi, Biden. | ||
Never. | ||
They talked about taxing the billionaires. | ||
They didn't even get out of the committee. | ||
So that's where we are as we start the summer. | ||
So as we come back next year, I'll remind you of this. | ||
That we've got to hunker down now. | ||
Because the next 100 days are going to be 10 times harder than the first 100 days. | ||
Fight, fight, fight. | ||
Go with God. | ||
love you guys okay well Steve you got on the end of my standing ovation so let's pretend they get it for you | ||
I would not be doing my job if they gave me a senator. | ||
Well, we're going to talk about that. | ||
But first, I want to know if you're okay. | ||
Personally, I know you were just in prison. | ||
How was it? | ||
Did you meet any nice guys? | ||
Since this show will play in Danbury on Saturday night on CNN, I want to say hi to all the men in Danbury. | ||
There's a lot of good men there. | ||
Prison is very tough, very dangerous. | ||
Because of the mass incarceration of the nine violent drug offenders. | ||
These young men, they get put away for 15, 20, 25 years in a very small, over 100-year-old prison like Danbury. | ||
It can get very dangerous because drugs get in there, K2, and it's a dangerous place. | ||
But I had an amazing experience there. | ||
Really? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
And is it a tough one? | ||
I know we hear a lot about the Aryan Brotherhood. | ||
Were they in there? | ||
Did they give you extra food? | ||
There's a tranche to prison. | ||
I wasn't in a camp. | ||
I was in a prison. | ||
There's a tranche to prisons. | ||
Medium prisons is where prison politics is. | ||
It blows. | ||
There's no prison politics. | ||
Oh, there's obviously separation, and people have what they call cars. | ||
So, Danbury, you're in the New York car, the Dominican car, the Puerto Rican car, the Mexican car. | ||
Can you stay with your own, except the times you're in the yard and working out, or like I was a teacher over in the education department. | ||
I taught civics. | ||
Having been there for insurrection. | ||
unidentified
|
LAUGHTER America, ladies and gentlemen. | |
That is America. | ||
I'm going to suggest a policy. | ||
I've never heard this, but how about this? | ||
No politicians in prison. | ||
You can impeach them. | ||
You can put them to court. | ||
We disagree about that. | ||
That's one reason why you were in prison. | ||
For a misdemeanor. | ||
Okay. | ||
For contempt. | ||
All right. | ||
Well, I'm talking about Trump. | ||
I think... | ||
Oh, they're coming after Trump. | ||
I think once you go to the... | ||
Well, you guys started with lock her up. | ||
Okay? | ||
Once you... | ||
Once you... | ||
Let me just get it out. | ||
Hang on. | ||
unidentified
|
Hang on. | |
And she should have been locked up and we didn't go after her. | ||
I guess we don't agree then. | ||
We're not supposed to agree. | ||
But I think once you go to... | ||
One good night at the White House shouldn't make you soft, Bill. | ||
You're the one who just got out of prison. | ||
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
But you were there because you refused to testify to the January 6th Committee, which was led by that fiery liberal Liz Cheney. | ||
By the way, a group of people that crawled on their belly to the White House to get, for the first time in our history, preemptive blanket pardons for every member of the J6 Committee and their staffs. | ||
That's never been because they lied and perjured themselves the entire time. | ||
And that investigation... | ||
Regardless if they have pardons, there's still going to be an investigation. | ||
And when they get called before, they can't take the Fifth Amendment. | ||
The thing was totally rigged and totally corrupt. | ||
I didn't do it for Donald Trump. | ||
I did it to stand for the Constitution. | ||
That committee was totally rigged, and I didn't mind going to... | ||
I brought a copy tonight. | ||
Here it is. | ||
The Constitution. | ||
Can I read a passage to you? | ||
Amendment 22. No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice. | ||
And yet you keep talking about Trump's... | ||
Maybe you should hug us. | ||
Oh, we hug us. | ||
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
I'll get you to sign it backstage and underline it. | ||
President Trump didn't bring up running for a third term. | ||
Myself and others brought up running for a third term. | ||
President Trump is going to run for a third term. | ||
And President Trump is going to be elected again on the afternoon of January 20th of 2029. | ||
He's going to be President of the United States. | ||
Okay, but the thing I just read in there, it seemed like there was no wriggle room there. | ||
It seemed like it was just, you know, eight or ten words that said only two times. | ||
We have a team of people that are working. | ||
unidentified
|
A team? | |
A team. | ||
How can a team do something about that? | ||
I don't care if the team is 12 trillion people. | ||
The words are still the words. | ||
Bill, every day in federal courts, right now in federal courts, there's 120 lawsuits on what President Trump's doing. | ||
For his article 2 rights on the unified executive theory. | ||
But he's chief executive, he's commander in chief, and he's chief magistrate and chief law enforcement officer. | ||
There's a hundred, and they're running the court every day to sue President Trump all because the interpretation of this. | ||
The interpretation of this is open for interpretation. | ||
How should it be open? | ||
Could I have it back? | ||
I'm sorry to be, no person. | ||
You would agree he's a person. | ||
Okay, shall be elected. | ||
He was elected to the office. | ||
That's the office of the president more than twice. | ||
Twice is once and then another time. | ||
I don't see what the team is finding. | ||
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
I will disagree. | ||
Listen, Bill. | ||
In 2014, you talk about long odds. | ||
In 2014, when I backed President Trump when I was running Breitbart, they said I'd turn Breitbart into Trump-Kravda. | ||
unidentified
|
Okay, the odds there, he pulled at zero. | |
Then later in 2021, after he got back to Mar-a-Lago, when Fox abandoned him and the Murdochs abandoned him, the Republican Party abandoned him, the odds were longer then. | ||
So our group, the MAGA movement and the tip of the spear of the MAGA movement, we've had long odds before. | ||
And we've come out winning twice. | ||
And we're going to come out, we've got long odds on this. | ||
We're going to come out winning a third time. | ||
On the afternoon of the 20th of January, 2029, he's going to be president of the United States. | ||
Okay. | ||
By the way, I did say to him at one point that, you know, it actually works out better that you lost the 2020 election because... | ||
100%. | ||
Stolen. | ||
What? | ||
The 2020 election was stolen. | ||
I'm sorry. | ||
But it's better that happened. | ||
We had four years to prepare. | ||
Look at everything he's accomplishing now. | ||
He had all these different groups run by Stephen Miller and Russ Vogt, these think tanks. | ||
They were able to come up with, we could flood the zone with 10 or 12 things. | ||
That took four years for President Trump to think through and understand what loyalty is and understand what his program is. | ||
It was much better. | ||
If they hadn't stolen the election in 2020, to let President Trump have a second term where they almost already had him surrounded. | ||
Now, look what he's doing now. | ||
On the world stage every day, he's doing the biggest changes since the end of World War II. | ||
That wasn't my point with it. | ||
My point was that it's like a superhero movie. | ||
Franchise. | ||
Or no, movie. | ||
You know, movie has three acts. | ||
You know, a hero rises. | ||
But then, to get to the third act, you have to go down in the middle. | ||
To the point, we're all sad. | ||
unidentified
|
We're down at our lowest level. | |
He got that right away. | ||
He understood that. | ||
You don't seem to understand. | ||
unidentified
|
No, no, no. | |
You're picturing me that Trump's on the hero's journey. | ||
That's what you're saying? | ||
Bill Maher is saying that Trump's on the hero's journey. | ||
I'm saying that's what a super movie does, and I don't watch any of them. | ||
I'm just saying... | ||
unidentified
|
As an arc. | |
As an arc, it's a better story. | ||
So why don't you just admit you lost the middle one? | ||
Okay, let me move on to Elon Musk. | ||
Here are some of your quotes. | ||
Elon Musk is a truly evil person. | ||
Stopping him has become a personal issue for me. | ||
I will get Elon Musk kicked out by the inauguration. | ||
Well, that didn't happen, but I'm sure you're still on it. | ||
Also, you say Musk is a parasitic illegal immigrant. | ||
He wants to impose his freak experiments on the country. | ||
Wow. | ||
Sounds like you're trying to make up your mind about the guy, but... | ||
unidentified
|
Are you the guy who keyed my Tesla? | |
This puts you in league with, like, all the far lefties who are burning Teslas. | ||
Well, remember, he was a darling of the far left, okay? | ||
The oligarchs in Silicon Valley were all created. | ||
unidentified
|
They're all progressive left, and they were all created by the left. | |
Except for Musk, who saw the math a little earlier. | ||
All the rest of the oligarchs, and remember, Zuckerberg goes on trial on Monday at Meta, right, by Trump's FTC. | ||
And for what he did, the whistleblower said when he sold us out to the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
Those guys all had their road to Damascus at 11 o 'clock p.m. on the 5th of November when we won. | ||
And all of a sudden, they want to be MAGA. | ||
I don't trust them. | ||
I don't believe in them. | ||
They're totally self-centered, and they're a product of the apartheid state. | ||
That was created by progressive Democrats. | ||
And so now, we have to break it up. | ||
And I think you're going to see President Trump's Justice Department, FTC, FCC, really go after these guys, starting with Mark Zuckerberg. | ||
There's a lot in there I could probably agree with. | ||
But my question is, if Trump is always right about everything, you'd think that he's right about the tax. | ||
No, no, I don't think he's right about everything. | ||
President Trump and I disagree on politics. | ||
You saw... | ||
Name another one who's wrong. | ||
What else is he wrong about? | ||
Tariffs? | ||
I didn't say wrong. | ||
I said we don't agree. | ||
Oh, so he's never... | ||
No, terrorists. | ||
unidentified
|
Has he ever wrong? | |
Sometimes I think that... | ||
Oh, you're in trouble. | ||
No, no. | ||
The terrorist policy... | ||
unidentified
|
The terrorist policy has been brilliant. | |
The terrorist policy has been brilliant. | ||
Don, I watched this one. | ||
And by the way... | ||
The five countries, by the way, Bill, the five countries that come back are Taiwan, Japan, Korea... | ||
India and Vietnam are already in... | ||
When he runs for a third term, is there any Democrat who scares you that he could be running against? | ||
Because I guess if we allow that, it could be Obama. | ||
Absolutely. | ||
I think that would be great. | ||
Alien versus predator. | ||
Let's do it. | ||
President Trump already said... | ||
unidentified
|
That's kind of a worse insult to Trump, I think. | |
If you want to bring President Obama, who I think has lost his fastball, go ahead and bring him. | ||
Okay. | ||
Right now, all the governors you have, I don't think everybody will stand up to Trump. | ||
You're going to have to run someone like a Stephen A. Smith or someone in your kind of celebrity category. | ||
That'll be the Democrat nominee that would have the best shot at President Trump. | ||
But I think he's unbeatable. | ||
I think he's unbeatable because the coalition that he's built is only going to get bigger because he's bringing back American manufacturing jobs to working class people. | ||
And the Democratic Party abandoned working class people for the credentialed class. | ||
That you talk about all the time. | ||
And you can't cosplay being a populist. | ||
No, you're right. | ||
If you're not prepared to take hard things like the trade deal. | ||
I get it. | ||
Okay. | ||
You said, you quoted yourself there for flooding the zone. | ||
That's one of your, flood the zone with shit. | ||
This is one of your most famous quotes. | ||
The real opposition is the media and the way to deal with them is to flood the zone with shit. | ||
So this discussion we had, was this real or was this shit flooding? | ||
unidentified
|
I'm just asking you. | |
You say you do this, so I want to know if this was a real or a shit flood zone thing. | ||
It's real time, so it's got to be real. | ||
All right, thank you. | ||
unidentified
|
Steve Bannon. | |
I bet you made it out of prison. | ||
unidentified
|
I hope I see you soon. |
