| Terror attack in Boulder, Colorado has underscored the extreme dangers posed to our country by the entry of foreign nationals who are not properly vetted, as well as those who come here as temporary visitors and overstay their visas. | ||
| We don't want them. | ||
| In the 21st century, we've seen one terror attack after another carried out by foreign visa overstayers. | ||
| From dangerous places all over the world, and thanks to Biden's open door policies, today there are millions and millions of these illegals who should not be in our country. | ||
| In my first term, my powerful travel restrictions were one of our most successful policies, and they were a key part of preventing major foreign terror attacks on American soil. | ||
| We will not let what happened in Europe happen to America. | ||
| That's why on my first day back in office, I directed the Secretary of State to perform a security review of high-risk regions and make recommendations for where restrictions should be imposed. | ||
| Among the national security threats, their analysis considered are The large-scale presence of terrorists, failure to cooperate on visa security, inability to verify travelers' identities, inadequate record-keeping of criminal histories, and persistently high rates of illegal visa overstays and other things. | ||
| Very simply, we cannot have open migration from any country where we cannot safely and reliably vet and screen those who seek to enter the United States. | ||
| That is why today I am signing a new executive order placing travel restrictions on countries including Yemen, Somalia, Haiti, Libya, and numerous others. | ||
| The strength of the restrictions we're applying depends on the severity of the threat posed. | ||
| The list is subject to revision based on whether material improvements are made and likewise new countries can be added as threats emerge around the world. | ||
| But we will not allow people to enter our country who wish to do us harm. | ||
| And nothing will stop us from keeping America safe. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||

This is contributing to inflation. | |
| Like, if you need your roof fixed, or you need landscaping done, or you need some other kind of services, we're shrinking the workforce. | ||
| Or fruit fixed, or dishes washed. | ||

I mean, the number of times I hear from people who are citizens. | |
| Latinos in our community who will say, I know so many people who are afraid to go outside. | ||
| I mean, people aren't going to restaurants to spend money. | ||
| They're not taking their families out on the weekend to go have a good time because there is a real feeling out there, and it's based in reality, that there's a kind of terror campaign that's about sort of programming for social media and for Trump-friendly television. | ||
| That isn't driven by any particular policy objective other than giving the base what it wants, which is, you know, visions of self-deportations because of the actual deportations. | ||
| Yeah, we had been hearing this was going to happen. | ||
| This is the proclamation that we just got from the White House with President Trump saying essentially that part of why this is happening is they were looking at the vetting processes that these countries have in order for people to come in and enter the United States. | ||
| They don't believe that they are sufficient enough. | ||
| So tonight he is signing this proclamation banning entry into the United States from 12 countries fully. | ||
| He's restricting it from several others and basically cites those vetting processes as part of the reason here, Anderson, and also saying that it is underscored, emphasized by what happened in Boulder, Colorado, and that attack by the Egyptian national suspect on Sunday there. | ||
| And the president, in several points as I was just reading through this, And one line, | ||
| Anderson that I should point out from this proclamation is it says it does include exceptions for lawful permanent residents, existing visa holders, certain visa categories, and individuals whose entry serves U.S. nationalities. | ||
| So there do appear to be some car belts here. | ||
| It remains to be seen what that actually looks like, though, because, of course, everyone will hear this and remember the travel ban from President Trump's first term that he enacted within days of taking office and caused quite a bit of chaos at airports and ports of entry. | ||

|
The issue is that they're going after the easy folks, right? | |
| People who are showing us. | ||
| People who are going to work. | ||
| People who know where they are. | ||
| But why would we want those people to leave? | ||
| They're doing jobs that we want them to do. | ||
| Not only do we not, and not only do we not, but Polling shows that Americans don't want that. | ||
| That Americans, yes, Americans agree. | ||
| If you were committed to violent felony, yeah, you can go, right? | ||
| There's broad consensus on that. | ||
| But if you are someone who's lived here, who has a family here, who have kids that are citizens here, Americans don't agree that those people should be deported. | ||
| But part of what the administration is doing, too, and this is an important point, and Tom Homan has actually said this, the boarders said this pretty explicitly, is they are also doing these raids in a splashy way, coming in hot with big guns because they want to show sanctuary. | ||
| 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? | ||

| Let's go. | ||
| We got the great Mike Lindell. | ||
| Mike, the Daily Beast, I think, is telling me that the judge has already reprimanded you for using your cell phone in the courtroom. | ||
| Any truth of that rumor, sir? | ||
| 100% a lie, Steve. | ||
| I'm right in front of the judge that I can't be texting. | ||
| I can't even use my phone. | ||
| I can't even have it on in the courtroom. | ||
| They put out that lie to try and attack, but there are restrictions since I'm also a witness and representing MyPillow, who also, remember, was attacked with lawfare four years ago, everybody. | ||
| So they don't want me telling details of the case outside the courtroom where we have Lindell TV on site. | ||
| So that was a big lie that went out yesterday, but I'm here today. | ||
| I just wanted to Remember, we are the only one. | ||
| We want to set a precedence here of starting winning against this lawfare. | ||
| They sued MyPillow four and a half years ago and my employee-owned company, and we've decided we need help, we need resources to win this. | ||
| So what are we going to do? | ||
| We're liquidating. | ||

See you. | |
| Thank you, brother. | ||
| Fight on. | ||
| We need to win this one since we just lost one in Korea. | ||
| We've got to win this one. | ||
| So thank you very much, Mike Lindell. | ||
| See you this afternoon. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Dave Bratzworthy. | ||
| What is that thing you've got right there? | ||
|

|
What is that thing? | |
| Oh, this is an iPad. | ||
| Well, why is it white? | ||
| I've never seen anything like that. | ||
| They ordered it for me. | ||
| The infamous they. | ||
| It looks like something you order for a child. | ||
| No, seriously. | ||
| Like in third grade? | ||
| It's got email. | ||
| It's got digital phone and Wi-Fi. | ||
| It's digital. | ||
| So I get signal anywhere in the world. | ||
| Dave Brat in the house. | ||
| How you doing, Dave? | ||
| Let's talk about... | ||
| Let's pull the camera back. | ||
| The three big lines of work of President Trump is we told you to stop the kinetic part of the Third World War, which we're already in. | ||
| The second is to seal the border. | ||
| And send and deport 10 million illegal alien invaders. | ||
| And the third is the whole financial thing, to redo the commercial relationships in the United States with the trade and tariff deals, then to get a budget we can live with and figure out how to finance it. | ||
| Let's say this. | ||
| On all three of them, President Trump is fully engaged in people coming after him, whether it's the courts, the Russians, the Chinese Communist Party, you name it. | ||
| Let's start with – President Trump, they hit his tripwire, right? | ||
| He's tired of this. | ||
| Number one, he's already sent Miller over to DHS and say, look, Holman, you guys, and Todd, I told Todd Bensman. | ||
| We got a great picture of Todd Benzman at the White House yesterday. | ||
| I said, Benzman, you've been there 72 hours. | ||
| We're already shut down 12 nations. | ||
| We're setting down seven more. | ||
| Keep doing whatever you're doing. | ||
| Whatever you're doing. | ||
| He says, I can't take credit for that. | ||
| But I said, hey, there are no coincidences. | ||
| Okay, he's shutting down 12 nations, right? | ||
| And he's got another seven that are virtually shut down because Trump's just had a belly full of it. | ||
| He says, look, we've got enough problem in this country with the 13 million that came in on Biden's watch. | ||
| I've sealed the border. | ||
| We've still got a massive problem. | ||
| He sent Miller over to DHS to talk to Holman and Kristi Noem and said, look, we've got to up it to 3,000 a day. | ||
| It's got to be more than that. | ||
| So President Trump says, hey, look, you're just not going to come across some things. | ||
| So he's hammering that. | ||
| And he's telling people that there's national security. | ||
| And people have to understand, look what happened. | ||
| Look at the Ukraine's assault into Russia. | ||
| You know, there's obviously... | ||
| You see up at the University of Michigan. | ||
| Have I been harping on? | ||
| We got a clip from a young guy. | ||
| Have I been harping on not just the Ivies, but the public Ivies? | ||
| And I've said Ann Arbor, Michigan, and why some young guy today in Madison, Wisconsin, some young guy is talking about they've taken $90 million a year from the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| how they're bringing pathogens in. | ||
| So on this, Yeah, and I saw Charlie Kirk messaging on that, deporting $1 million per year. | ||
| That's $3,000 a day. | ||
| Yeah, $3,000 a day. | ||
|

|
Mr. PhD, I'm just doing some math. | |
| I'm not Rain Man. | ||
| That's Rain Man. | ||
| I went to seminary. | ||
| You got me off on that one. | ||
| But the budget savings there, just look, if a family comes in, two kids in a public school, how much is that a year? | ||
| $40,000. | ||
| Of taxpayer money, state and local. | ||
| And the one thing you left off the list that's got everyone's attention, yours this week, is no wars. | ||
| And just as a thought experiment, picture not having President Trump in office. | ||
| Picture having Biden going along with these euro guys. | ||
| But this is my point about the kinetic part of the third world war. | ||
| And hey, he had to call with Xi today. | ||
| The Chinese Communist Party understand, folks, because everything here now is smash mouth and hardball. | ||
| The Chinese Communist Party leaked before the call. | ||
| And I want to make sure the staff is looking for a readout. | ||
| They leaked before the call. | ||
| President Trump had called and wanted to call. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| So they have right now, although their economy is getting crushed, as they said, hey, our guys will eat grass for three years. | ||
| This is the whole thing we did on Tiananmen for the last couple of days. | ||
| Great article out. | ||
| I got to figure out where it was saying that across the globe, you are saying what we said on the show, no remembrance of Tiananmen massacre at all. | ||
| The Chinese Communist Party has done an amazing job of totally suppressing that. | ||
| They're driving this. | ||
| They're driving the Russians. | ||
| President Trump has an article up in Axios. | ||
| So President Trump goes, he's telling guys internally, White House, hey, it was a badass move by Ukraine. | ||
| I don't know if we want that out there. | ||
| Because Israelis and the IDF, they're ready to go badass on the Persians right now, right? | ||
| We've got to deal with that and say, hey, we can't have the forever wars because it's going to be expanded. | ||
| Everybody's got to lay down their guns. | ||
| Putin tells Trump on the call, the president, "Hey, I'm striking back hard." And his president said, "This was a call that I don't think's leading to a He wasn't not leading to a peace deal. | ||
| And I think the strategy from the Euro globalists is to get Trump to attack a European country because then the Article 5 of Europe. | ||
| Putin to attack. | ||
| Then Article 5 kicks in. | ||
| Well, this is why the Germans are here today. | ||
| 11.45, we'll be picking up. | ||
| They arrive at 11.45, I think, or 11.30. | ||
| 11.30, 11.45, they're going to be in the Oval. | ||
| There's going to be a bilat. | ||
| I'm sure during the Charlie Kirk show, the president will open up and have a couple, three things to say. | ||
| So we're waiting for that today. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||

|
This week that he does not like the big, beautiful bill. | |
| Yesterday he posted this. | ||
| Call your senator, call your congressman. | ||
| Bankrupting America is not okay. | ||
| Kill the bill. | ||
| And now, Jason, there's this Wall Street Journal piece out right now that says Trump is losing patience with Elon Musk over this. | ||
| So where does the relationship stand right now? | ||
| Well, I think that's one of the things—I'm just going to go to the fact that I never heard Elon Musk take this type of criticism toward the one big, beautiful bill back when the EV mandates and the EV tax credits were a part of the budget. | ||
| And so it was only after all that was removed that we saw some of this criticism. | ||
| I'm never going to go and judge someone for weighing in or voicing their opinion if they want to try to improve the bill, if they want to try to improve the process. | ||
| Keep in mind, it's still going through the Senate right now. | ||
| This thing is going to change. | ||
| But when you come out and attack it like that and say you want to kill it, guess what? | ||
| The only thing that you're pushing for is a $4.5 trillion tax increase. | ||
| We need this bill so we can fully keep the border secure, so we can keep taxes low, pass the no taxes on tip or overtime or social security. | ||
| But we have to stop this $4.5 trillion tax hike, which is coming. | ||
| That's why I think the Elon Musk criticism is so insincere, because I never heard it before. | ||
| So guess what? | ||
| At this point, either you're part of the solution or you're part of the problem. | ||
| And unfortunately, I think Elon Musk is making it clear where he is. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know what, Jason, Axios had a piece out yesterday saying that he's attacking the bill Like, apparently he was deeply upset that Trump withdrew the nomination of the NASA administrator and he wanted Starlink to be used for various other reasons. | |
| He wanted to stay in his government role longer than 130 days. | ||
| Do you think that's what's driving this criticism? | ||
| Well, it sounds like a little bit of revisionist history to me. | ||
| But here's the thing, is that President Trump is giving us the opportunity to keep taxes low. | ||
| He's given us the opportunity to keep our borders secure. | ||
| And this is ultimately President Trump's party. | ||
| The thing, though, is everyone's got to remember is that the president can't go and write literally his own budget, say he's just going to pass it. | ||
| The Constitution says it has to go through Congress. | ||
| That's the process. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| You have 435 members of the House, 100 over in the Senate. | ||
| They're going to go do their congressional Capitol Hill thing. | ||
| So it's not, again, it's not the one big perfect bill. | ||
| It's one big beautiful bill. | ||
| But we have to get this through. | ||
| Otherwise, it's a $4.5 trillion tax hike. | ||
| We've got to support President Trump right now. | ||
| Okay, when Jason Miller talks, Assume that has been signed off by higher authority, right? | ||
| He's the outside official spokesman. | ||
| Okay, so we've never been enthusiastic about the Big Beautiful Bill. | ||
| Number one, a Big Beautiful Bill is going to get done. | ||
| It has to get done. | ||
| Because you must extend the tax cuts for the working class and the middle class. | ||
| All engines stop. | ||
| There are also certain things on R&D, as you sent me, these things that weren't covered in 2017, we've got to take care of. | ||
| There's a number of things of depreciation, things that have to be done for business, a bunch of things for small business, etc. | ||
| That has to be done as a supply-side tax cut, and we do believe in the supply-side tax cuts. | ||
| However, as we've said from the beginning, the bill would be made better in the no need to kill it in the House. | ||
| And the President didn't want to kill the House. | ||
| It's going to be made better in the Senate. | ||
| Ron Johnson and a team of people. | ||
| Ron Johnson has been... | ||
| Because he ain't up until, what, 28 or beyond. | ||
| And I'm not so sure Ron Johnson's going to run again. | ||
| Because he's an entrepreneur. | ||
| He's not a lawyer. | ||
| But it's just not Ron Johnson. | ||
| It's many people. | ||
| We're going to have Josh Hawley on here. | ||
| But you've got to balance. | ||
| Like this whole Medicaid thing, getting rid of Obamacare. | ||
| You've still got the working class. | ||
| Now people have to show up. | ||
| I don't like the fact it's only twice a year. | ||
| To me, hell, it ought to be every month you've got to show up. | ||
| but the spending, and we've been the first. | ||
| What Russ, the theory of the case, and make sure folks understand this, the theory of the case is they These are structural changes on mandatory spending, and you realize how tough that is to do. | ||
| They did not have the opportunity or the bandwidth to focus on some of the things in the short term. | ||
| And it looks like these things are spinning out of control. | ||
| Also, the president made some comment about the debt ceiling. | ||
| Ross Vogt came back in and said, we're not going to get rid of the debt ceiling because we can't get rid of the debt ceiling. | ||
| It's a leverage point. | ||
| Because President Trump, even though he's going to run in 28, may not be here forever, so we need the debt ceiling. | ||
| Here's the problem with Elon. | ||
| It's very simple. | ||
| He promised a trillion dollars in cuts and ways for an abuse. | ||
| And listen, for all the fanboys out there, I'm going to treat you fanboys like little puppies. | ||
| They're going to rub your nose in the mess you made. | ||
| All this thing about the rescissions, when we do the first rescissions package, the $9.4 billion. | ||
| There's not a line item in there. | ||
| There's 11 line items, including a bayon for NPR and a bayon for... | ||
| These are programmatic, right? | ||
| All fanboys, Elon fanboys, take your number two pencil out and write this down. | ||
| Programmatic means it's a program that's been passed in an appropriations bill that's called a law, okay? | ||
| People have fought this. | ||
| The audience has stayed up in the middle of the night in 2023. | ||
| For the single-subject bills, saw Eli Crane and Matt Gaetz and MTG and Lauren Boebert and Andy Biggs all night long at 3 o 'clock in the morning. | ||
| And what were they arguing about? | ||
| Everything that's in that first rescissions bill. | ||
| And who outvoted them? | ||
| The Republican Party. | ||
| On the floor of the House, and you know this, they would sit there and make these incredible arguments. | ||
| You had three podiums. | ||
| One was the rebels, MTG, Gates, the same people, the same 20 people up there all the time. | ||
| Then you had one in the middle, it was the rhino Republicans, and you had the Democrats, and the Democrats just sat there the whole time, and then they said, no, we'll give the time to you. | ||
| The Democrats gave their time. | ||
| To the Republican establishment who shot down everything that's on there. | ||
| Everything. | ||
| You know, Sesame Street in Arabic. | ||
| All of this has been, that is not what Dozier is supposed to do. | ||
| He told the President of the United States over and over and over again, I got a trillion dollars of waste, fraud and abuse. | ||
| What do I mean by that? | ||
| I mean the three and a half minutes that the President of the United States on his advice. | ||
| Took in the joint, you know, the State of the Union or the joint thing to Congress. | ||
| Remember the mantra of going through all the Social Security people that were 200 years old? | ||
| Not one penny was ever found, okay? | ||
| Where's the fraud in Medicaid, which is right for fraud? | ||
| Never came up with anything. | ||
| Where's the fraud at the Pentagon, which is the Mac Daddies of waste, fraud, and abuse? | ||
| Not one penny. | ||
| Promised a trillion dollars. | ||
| And that 170 at the end? | ||
| Watch the cabinet meeting. | ||
| That's Russ Vogt's number. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Russ Vogt sits there early on and says, yeah, it's $160 billion. | |
| Elon repeats the same number. | ||
| Russ, talk to Russ Vogt. | ||
| He looks down at the table and goes, is that on top of my number? | ||
| Is that my number? | ||
| The rescissions package, folks, is nothing but a bunch of outrageous things that ought to be done with. | ||
| It's symbolic because we want to get to more. | ||
| I keep asking the question. | ||
| Show me where you found the fraud. | ||
| And by the way, who do we send over to the Justice Department? | ||
| The answer is nothing. | ||
| At the same time, what Jason Miller just said, he never said anything to the president or never said anything to Johnson or never put up on his Twitter, which he's putting up stuff 24-7, not one thing when the bill is passed about spending. | ||
| It's all been, like my experience with him in 2017, all about the EV mandates. | ||
| And this is a big number. | ||
| It's $20 billion. | ||
| It's not a small number. | ||
| You don't think the Chinese would like to get a $20 billion bailout by the American people for some of these EV things? | ||
| Dave Bratt, I will turn the floor over to you, sir. | ||
| And we've got to cut spending. | ||
| There's no doubt about that. | ||
| And Ron Johnson and these guys are going to take a real shot at it. | ||
| And the president I think is open to that. | ||
| And last thing I'll say, the math doesn't. | ||
| There's no chance the math works here. | ||
| And Grover Norcrest and all these people up here that are protecting the wealthy, the wealthy got enough money and they made enough money, they're gonna make more money, okay? | ||
| They're not hurting. | ||
| Working class and middle class are hurting. | ||
| They're going to hurt a lot more if this doesn't pass. | ||
| Dave Brat, the floor is yours. | ||
| Yeah, well, there's so many ways to go on that. | ||
| You know, this war was planned supposedly 18 months ago. | ||
| Biden was in charge then. | ||
| You mean the Ukraine attack? | ||
| Yeah, the Ukraine war, just to make that point obvious. | ||
| All of this comes to the feet of Congress. | ||
| Crossbow, crossbow. | ||
| Hang on, hang on, before you go, you've already, okay. | ||
| Any chance, any probability that in an 18 month planning cycle to strike a Any chance in your mind that the deep state, the CIA and DNI and even DIA had nothing to do with this? | ||
| Yeah, either way, heads roll, right? | ||
| If they knew, if they didn't know, heads roll, period, right? | ||
| You're saying if they worked on it, they're gone, but if they didn't know about it, you're gone too. | ||
| It's just, it's obscene. | ||
| But I just raised that point to raise the point that a year and a half ago about precisely Russ Vogt treated us to 1.5. | ||
| I know. | ||
| I know. | ||
| Trump ran on a strategy. | ||
| And people need to track these people who do vote for Arabic PBS. | ||
| They need to be taken out of office, right? | ||
| Whoever is just mindlessly going along with these votes. | ||
| And then that brings us to the real issue here. | ||
| When you think about a firm, right, you think about what's the strategy. | ||
| And then how do you fulfill that? | ||
| When I went to Congress, I was stunned. | ||
| Paul Ryan is the head, right? | ||
| He's the CEO of the Congress. | ||
| We had no strategy. | ||
| And people think I'm being hyperbolic here, right? | ||
| They're just making up words that sound good, whatever. | ||
| Ask yourself, where do I find the strategy for the United States House of Representatives? | ||
| And they don't have a strategy. | ||
| Where they have the sophisticated Excel spreadsheets and the financial analysis all has to do with getting reelected. | ||
| That's where all the time is spent. | ||
| That's the strategy. | ||
| So how in the world do we have a strategy for our country if the U.S. House of Representatives, which does all the legislating, doesn't have it? | ||
| Well, the answer is President Trump showed you. | ||
| I'll show you the solution. | ||
| And so he puts forward solutions, and then he has to do all the Herculean lifting over high hurdles put in place by the House because of election politics, because they, and the Senate, I always leave out the Senate, and the Democrats, all political views are my own, they're not even in the ballgame. | ||
| The Democrats have no strategy except to take down this country. | ||
| But ask yourself that question. | ||
| Ask your congressmen or woman, "Where's the strategy in our vision statement "for the United States of America?" And if they don't have one, every small business Trump ran on three big planks that Steve pointed out earlier in the show. | ||
| I won't go through them all again. | ||
| And he won because he sold a package and he sold a strategy. | ||
| Seal the border and deport the invaders, stop the forever wars, and get our economy back rolling again and figure out the financing of it. | ||
| Take down the deep state. | ||
| We may want to get on top of that, given what happened to Ukraine. | ||
| Short break. | ||
| Sam Sorbo next. | ||

|
Here's your host, Stephen K. Band. | |
| Okay, we're going to get back to the big deal for Bill and financing all this. | ||
| People should understand. | ||
| It looks like chaos right now. | ||
| It's actually not, or it's not as chaotic as it looks. | ||
| There are a ton of people working through different things. | ||
| And remember, you can't cut taxes. | ||
| You can't extend the tax cuts. | ||
| For the wealthy, the math just doesn't work. | ||
| I think we know the math here better than anybody, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Except Russ Vogt and those guys, although we argue with Russ. | ||
| Because there's so many accounting tricks you can use. | ||
| My thing is cash in, cash out. | ||
| Total receipts from tariffs. | ||
| And this is why I keep selling Navarro. | ||
| This is why the Hill piece come up. | ||
| Give the entire picture. | ||
| Tell us what the tariffs are going to be. | ||
| Tell us what the investment of the $2 trillion from corporations, not the sovereign wealth funds, what is that going to do to generate? | ||
| Give us everything. | ||
| Back up your growth rate. | ||
| If the growth rate is 2.5%, the House has got 2.6%. | ||
| If the administration is talking 3%, that could possibly be if you back it up and show us how you get there. | ||
| Those types of changes in a whole package refutes the CBO coming back. | ||
| Because look. | ||
| Reconciliation is a gimmick, right? | ||
| Correct? | ||
| We're going through the appropriations process right now, which I realize, people, it sounds like you're putting too much on you, but the reconciliation is kind of a gimmick, right? | ||
| It's not the budgeting process. | ||
| Not the appropriations process, which is a legal process. | ||
| And this is my point. | ||
| There was no heads-up given to the president about anything. | ||
| We're going to get back to it in a moment. | ||
| A old friend, colleague, been around, and just a warrior, Sam Sorbo, joins us. | ||
| And you're fighting now for an executive. | ||
| Your cause is not just children and education, but it's also the parents, the brave parents that stood up during those dark years. | ||
| Walk us through, Sam. | ||
| You've been in with Kelly Walker, and Kelly's doing a great job. | ||
| You guys have been in D.C. for the last couple of days. | ||
| I've seen photos. | ||
| You're over at the White House. | ||
| You're with the great Ed Martin over at DOJ. | ||
| What are you guys working on? | ||
| What are you looking for? | ||
| Is this a law you want to get passed? | ||
| Is it an executive order? | ||
| Tell us what you're doing, and we want to know how the audience can help, ma 'am. | ||
| Yeah, well, to start, it's an executive order. | ||
| We need acknowledgment that these parents were unduly targeted and harassed and damaged, actually. | ||
| Damaged. | ||
| Some of them lost their businesses. | ||
| They lost their livelihoods. | ||
| Kelly Walker himself is starting over. | ||
| But he's not just starting over. | ||
| He's starting at a deficit because he actually has an arrest on his record. | ||
| And he was sentenced to 100 days in prison, which is absurd, for doing nothing. | ||
| For simply being there to support- We support conversation because if we don't support conversation, that turns to violence, right? | ||
| Diplomacy is the alternative to the violence that would ensue. | ||
| And so Kelly Walker has endured tremendous hardship with five children. | ||
| There are other parents who have also endured this kind of hardship, this kind of targeting by the DOJ. | ||
| And incidentally, it goes farther than that. | ||
| So the EO can only do so much. | ||
| We would appreciate an EO so at least these people get some acknowledgement for the hardship. | ||
| And they can at least claim that, you know, make a reasonable claim that they struggled, that they have been unfairly attacked. | ||
| But also, because the DOJ was a little sneaky, they down-systemed the process. | ||
| And that's not something that Trump can get involved with. | ||
| But the EO would certainly set a tone. | ||
| And of course, that's what I'm about. | ||
| Because we need to defend parents. | ||
| We need to get back to families in the United States. | ||
| The reason that our children are not learning in school is because parent involvement is the number one indicator for academic achievement. | ||
| It is the primary indicator for academic achievement. | ||
| So if you want the children to achieve academically, you need the parents involved. | ||
| And our schools took a different approach. | ||
| And they said, we don't want parents involved. | ||
| We want parents to butt the heck out, which means that they're not interested in academic achievement for the child. | ||
| And that's dangerous. | ||
| Sam, give me that one again. | ||
| I need everybody to hear this when we do this clip. | ||
| No matter what your socioeconomic are, no matter, you know, people say it's all about class and money, middle class, everything like that, even the working poor. | ||
| The strongest indicator of children's achievement in school, regardless of their economic background, is parents' direct involvement in their education. | ||
| Is that correct? | ||
| Yes, absolutely. | ||
| And I'll add another one. | ||
| Children who are home-educated achieve better than children who are schooled, and that is regardless of their parents' level of education, which is, like, shocker, right? | ||
| Because you think you need to be really clever to teach kids. | ||
| Apparently, not so much. | ||
| Kids learn automatically. | ||
| Hey, Sam. | ||
| Dave Bratt, Liberty University. | ||
| Spent my whole life in education. | ||
| I get really frustrated. | ||
| You've spent your whole life fighting. | ||
| Every politician, you know, some have had some success over the past couple years with the Parents Initiatives Northern Virginia. | ||
| But really, we don't have leverage. | ||
| How do we achieve that leverage to put the fear of God into our legislators so that they really care about, you know, there's shocking statistics. | ||
| 12% literacy rates for third graders in Chicago. | ||
| And they have politicians that say we love the kids. | ||
| But it's not a sexy topic. | ||
| How do we get this topic in the minds of our politicians to get it right? | ||
| It's not more money. | ||
| We're spending plenty of money. | ||
| How do we make it happen? | ||
| And where do people go to get you and Kevin? | ||
| Yeah, well, you can find me at SorboStudios.com, and you're right. | ||
| I've been very passionate about this for a long time, but I used to be a school supporter. | ||
| I put my child, my oldest, in school, and they were not doing a good job. | ||
| How do we turn it around? | ||
| We need more parental involvement. | ||
| We need parents on school boards, and we really ought to go exclusively parents on school boards. | ||
| We need the EO from the president, but also we need new policy. | ||
| We need people speaking that family and parents We have very bad lead indicators for the future. | ||
| We have a very, not just the low birth rate right now, we have a low marriage rate. | ||
| That means low families. | ||
| That is very dangerous. | ||
| And so we need to turn this around by either tax credits for children, for parents, obviously, with school-age children, things like that. | ||
| It will encourage parents, encourage families, and encourage that kind of unity because, as we know, the family is the fabric of our culture. | ||
| In 10 seconds, that's what we need, but how do you put the fear of God into our leaders, our elected officials, to do it? | ||
| They only do things when they think they're going to lose their seat. | ||
| So how do we, as Steve says, they ain't going to give you the keys. | ||
| How do we take the keys on this one? | ||
| Well, okay, we need parents to band together. | ||
| And parents, you know, unfortunately, the ball is in their court. | ||
| The parents have to go to school board meetings. | ||
| But the first thing that we have to do is turn around the attitude by the schools. | ||
| And the way we do that is with a presidential EO and maybe some pardons coming down and maybe some restitution for these parents who have lost so much. | ||
| And then we need to encourage parents to go to school board meetings and to get involved in their schools. | ||
| There is so much going on in the schools. | ||
| There's so much pornography in the schools that parents are completely unaware of. | ||
| And it's inexcusable, frankly. | ||
| Parents, you need to be involved in the education of your children. | ||
| After all, you're the reason they're learning. | ||
| Sam, one more time. | ||
| In the executive order, where does it go? | ||
| Because the war room and, of course, the war room posse can help. | ||
| Where do people go to help push this? | ||
| Because we agree, the executive order. | ||
| We'd get the ball rolling. | ||
| Ed Martin would get involved, etc. | ||
| So how do we get the executive order? | ||
| Because that's easier than a piece of legislation. | ||
| That's President Trump, you know, somebody getting in front of him and explaining it. | ||
| So how do we do that? | ||
| Well, I'll tell you what, if you go to realfreedomtalk.com, you can leave comments. | ||
| We are collecting comments and we are asking people for their stories because we want to represent as many parents as we possibly can for this EO. | ||
| And so if you were unduly harmed by the draconian policies, either of your school board or of your community law enforcement, we would like to stand by you and we would like to get this done for you. | ||
| Sam, do you have social media also? | ||
| Where do people go for social media for you and Kevin if you get Kelly's? | ||
| If not, we'll get Kelly back up in the next couple of days. | ||
| Where do people go on social media to follow you? | ||
| Yeah, well, everything is at SorboStudios.com, and I encourage people to sign up for our newsletter. | ||
| That's the best way that we stay in touch with people. | ||
| But, of course, KSorbs is Kevin's Twitter. | ||
| Highly recommend it. | ||
| It's very funny. | ||
| Mine is maybe a little bit less funny, but it's Sam Sorbo, and also on Instagram, Sam underscore Sorbo. | ||
| Ma 'am, thank you so much. | ||

| Thank you. | ||

She's great. | |
| She's great. | ||
| Kelly Walker also. | ||
| Kelly Walker is put in prison for 100 days for sticking up for his kids. | ||
| That team is a great team over there. | ||
| Japan announced today the lowest birth rates. | ||
| This is a country that is demographically in a free fall. | ||
| They announced today the lowest birth rate in the history of the country since they've been keeping track of it. | ||
| Only I think 7% This is one of the reasons. | ||
| Also, Cortez and I have been going back and forth about the global bond market. | ||
| The bonds, the 30s and 20s and 30s in Japan, they can't sell them. | ||
| The cover, like you want to have a depth so you can get the price you want. | ||
| The cover on the bonds is almost nothing now. | ||
| Why? | ||
| People are not dumped. | ||
| These problems are inextricably linked. | ||
| She just said late family formation in the lower birth rate here in the country is driven by one thing. | ||
| Human nature hasn't changed. | ||
| People's attraction to each other hasn't changed. | ||
| Look, I realize the schools are trying to form people to be freaks, but it hasn't changed. | ||
| What's changed is that young people don't have economic opportunities. | ||
| The gals sit there and go, hey, this guy is going to have steady work, right? | ||
| He's going to have steady work. | ||
| And the guys can't answer that because you don't know. | ||
| AI coming, H-1B visas. | ||
| There's a war. | ||
| If you're in a 35 and 40 years old and you're running around back in AOC in the radical Muslim socialist communist mayor of a guy running for New York, if you're buying that, You've got to stand up. | ||
| This is why populism, economic nationalism, this is why it's the only salvation. | ||
| There ain't any other way out of here, right? | ||
| Unless you're going to go Luigi Mangioni and you get these young kids so frustrated and their heads so twisted, they think they've got to pick up a gun and blast away out of here, which I can tell you, that ain't going to work. | ||
| It's all inextricably linked, as you say, and in the United States, guess when that trend started? | ||
| I've got a few charts at the end of the show. | ||
| I might get to 1971. | ||
| Wow, something else happened in 1971. | ||
| Federal Reserve off gold. | ||
| And then that's the beginning of, I got 20 other charts of all the economic turmoil, debt, the end of family formation, child formation, success of the African-American family. | ||
| All of it. | ||
| I got charged 1971. | ||
| So if you don't get your economics straight, people think economics and finance is boring. | ||
| It might be. | ||
| But it is the foundation. | ||
| If that's not stable and you don't have people making an income to buy a house and put your kids in a good school and take care of them. | ||
| This is why we try to do so much capital markets here. | ||
| On War Room. | ||
| By the way, so a couple things. | ||
| Number one, the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| President Trump did have a call. | ||
| Have we gotten a readout yet? | ||
| So there's no readout. | ||
| There's supposed to be a call. | ||
| The call was going to be at 10 o 'clock. | ||
| I heard it might have been earlier. | ||
| Knowing that there's no readout means, hmm, maybe not good news. | ||
| If it was good news, you would have put it out right away. | ||
| Look, they think they run the deal right now. | ||
| And they're not going to be, you know, hey, you Americans, yeah, we'll deal with you when we want to deal with you. | ||
| Like they said, hey, any country that a government would go into Tiananmen Square and kill 40,000 or 50,000 people, not 10,000, like I said, they killed 40,000 or 50,000 that day, right? | ||
| Gunned them down with the military and never got held accountable. | ||
| In fact, got a partnership with the United States of America after that. | ||

Here's your host, Stephen K. Band. | |
| Okay, we have two tales of one phone call that's both out now. | ||
| The Chinese, I'm going to give you the Chinese first. | ||
| She says U.S. should remove negative measures. | ||
| On China, that would be terrorists and other things. | ||
| She tells Trump China has implemented the Geneva Agreement, which President Trump says they have not. | ||
| She also says it's important to spell disruptions in China-U.S. | ||
| relations. | ||
| He wants to be – he's not a decouple guy. | ||
| As you know, the worms decouple, hardcore decouple. | ||
| She says U.S. should deal with Taiwan, and I quote, cautiously. | ||
| So they're laying down the marker there. | ||
| Now, the president has put up his readout. | ||
| I'll read it to you in his entirety. | ||
| I've just concluded a very good phone call with President Xi of China discussing some of the intricacies of a recently made and agreed to trade deal. | ||
| The call lasted approximately one and a half hours and resulted in a very positive conclusion for both countries. | ||
| There should be no longer any questions respecting the complexity of rare earth products. | ||
| That means the magnets and the ball bearings were somehow talked about. | ||
| That's the big deal, the processing part. | ||
| Our respective teams will be meeting shortly at a location to be determined. | ||
| We were represented as Secretary of Treasury Scott Besson, Commerce Secretary Lutnick, United States Trade Rep, Ambassador Greer. | ||
| During the conversation, President Xi graciously invited the First Lady and me to visit China, and I reciprocated President Trump inviting me to the United States. | ||
| As presidents of two great nations, this is something that we both look forward to doing. | ||
| The conversation was focused almost entirely on trade. | ||
| That's in capital letters, President Trump. | ||
| Nothing was discussed concerning Russia, Ukraine, or Iran. | ||
| So no strategic discussions. | ||
| We will inform the media as to scheduling the location of the soon-to-be meeting. | ||
| That is with the representatives. | ||
| Thank you for your attention in this matter, President Trump. | ||
| Two interpretations, right? | ||
| Chinese not shy about putting out, hey, he says we didn't agree with what happened in Geneva with Bess and these guys. | ||
| We're complying with all of it, okay? | ||
| The issues about – folks should understand that's a big deal, particularly these magnets and, I think, ball bearings, the processing of this. | ||
| So somehow that's – and there's some discussion. | ||
| Of course, no strategic discussion. | ||
| And when you – just put yourself in the president's seat, right? | ||
| When it comes to these ball bearings and our – we have to reveal because we're a transparent country and we're honest, good people, our weaknesses up front because our people have a say in this government. | ||
| And so we have to respond. | ||
| So they get leverage. | ||
| Can you imagine the leverage we have on them that we don't know about? | ||
| They're in a way worse position than we are, right? | ||
| And so this shows you the humanity of President Trump. | ||
| He's thinking through this, right, strategically, but he's also got small business people in mind. | ||
| Xi has no – he could care less about humanity, right? | ||
| If his people got to get – He could care less about the Chinese people. | ||
| Yeah, the Chinese people, right? | ||
| If they get crushed for some years due to trade and whatever, we have – Total leverage over them right now. | ||
| Okay, the rare earths are self-owned. | ||
| The rare earths are nothing but dirt. | ||
| But the processing of rare earths, and it's very messy, and this is why the environmentalists, and essentially I think there was a company in Ohio, and I don't know how CFIUS approved this, but years ago, I think 10 years ago, the Chinese thinking downrange, as they always do, the CCP, purchased basically the processing and took it apart and shipped it to China. | ||
| So the processing part, I think it was in Ohio was a company and they bought it for under a billion dollars. | ||
| That company is one of the most strategic assets they have because this is where they get the magnets and people should understand there are Manufacturing companies, they're sitting there going, hey, unless I get these things, we may be shutting down two or three lines here. | ||
| So you're in favor of long-term strategic thinking and the brilliant points I was making about that. | ||
| Always. | ||
| But you sound like, no, stop, stop. | ||
| I agree with that. | ||
| I'm telling you, you sound like a pilgrim. | ||
| Ron Johnson will tell you, no, you are over that. | ||
| Dude, you're a guy. | ||
| Let me just reiterate for Dave Brett. | ||
| He's the only person in the history of this nation, of this republic. | ||

| With Julia Hahn, Laura Ingraham, and Breitbart, right? | ||

|
The only guys that had your back. | |
| In doing that, when you went to Capitol Hill... | ||
| The lunchroom, they told him the first day he's got his tray and old Dave Brad's sitting there. | ||
| They go, no soup for you. | ||
| They throw him out. | ||
| And then Dave Brad goes up, hey, everybody's getting committee assignments. | ||
| How much money do I have to raise? | ||
| They go, no, no, no, you don't have to raise any. | ||
| You don't get a committee assignment. | ||
| So you're sitting there telling me you're going to walk up and, hey, let's get a strategic plan. | ||
| Let's get a vision statement. | ||
| Here's the vision statement. | ||
| No MAGA. | ||
| That's a vision. | ||
| Well, and believe it or not, we actually had a vision statement on paper in Virginia, the Virginia Republican creed, which no one follows, right? | ||
| Balance the budget. | ||
| You ever heard of that thing? | ||
| I mean, it's just unbelievable. | ||
| And all those guys, the 100 blobules I'm talking about in our conference, they're all going to go out and give speeches right now. | ||
| And they're going to say, I'm a fiscal hawk. | ||
| I'm for a balanced budget. | ||
| Why did you vote for a $7 trillion budget? | ||
| Why didn't you message ahead of time? | ||
| Right? | ||
| You don't have to be throwing it down all day, right, and toxic. | ||
| You can just tell the speaker in advance when you come in, I'm not voting for a deficit. | ||
