Blue-collar wage growth. | |
| Blue-collar wage growth. | ||
| The only other time it's been this high, wait for it, was during President Trump's first term. | ||
| So we've seen real wages for hourly workers, non-supervisory workers, rise almost 2% in the first five months. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why is that? | |
| No president has done that before. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And why is that? | |
| It's the president's emphasis on manufacturing. | ||
| I think there's also likely a component of whether it's 12 or 20 million illegal aliens coming out of the workforce, and Joe Biden opened the border, and it was flooded, and that for working Americans, that's a disaster because it's pressure on their wages. | ||

|
What exactly is different about the bill now, Ryan? | |
| Well, keep in mind, Ana, that the House Speaker, Mike Johnson, has warned his Senate colleagues not to change this bill too much because it was such a hard-fought victory for him in the House of Representatives that any significant changes could mean that when it comes back to the House, it might not make it through. | ||
| And I would say that these changes are not overwhelming, but they are significant. | ||
| And you pointed out a couple of the big differences, the first being the difference between the state and local tax deduction on the House side versus the Senate side. | ||
| It was a hard-fought victory for those blue state members of the House to get that $40,000 limit. | ||
| Republicans in the Senate don't have that same concern. | ||
| There aren't any blue state Republicans in the Senate, so they were fine with reducing that to $10,000. | ||
| That could be a real problem when the bill comes back to the House. | ||
| On the Medicaid side, the House planned to freeze provider taxes at the current level. | ||
| On the Senate side, they're going to cap them at 3.5% by 2031 and also create some new eligibility rules. | ||
| And then this is the other part of this that could be contention. | ||
| They wanted to eliminate many of these credits on the House side as early as this year, while on the other side, in the Senate side, some of those tax credits are actually working in some of these red states where businesses are taking advantage of them, so they plan to phase them out a bit longer. | ||
| So this is still going to be a fight here, Ana, and some tweaks can be made here, but they hope to have this passed by Fourth of July. | ||
| 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 on 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've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
| It's going to happen. | ||
| And where do people like that go to share the big line? | ||
| MAGA Media. | ||
| I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. | ||
| Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? | ||
| If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. | ||

War Room. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Band. | ||
| It's Tuesday, 17 June, Year of the Lord, 2025. | ||
| Thank you for being here for the second hour of the morning show. | ||
| We're honored to have Senator Josh Hawley, a fire-breathing populist in the United States Senate from Missouri. | ||
| Senator Hawley, first off, observations. | ||
| I know this is the first time you've seen it. | ||
| Observations on Secretary of Treasury Scott Besant, what he's talking about, the impact of President Trump's immigration policies, economic policies, seeing growth. | ||
| In blue-collar wages, which I understand and know is a top priority for you, sir. | ||
| Yeah, this is what President Trump has been saying for years. | ||
| If you get the illegals out of the workforce, the people who've been coming in here, taking our jobs, pushing down wages, what's going to happen? | ||
| Blue-collar wages are going to go up. | ||
| And that's exactly what is happening, Steve. | ||
| The secretary's exactly right. | ||
| The president's focused on manufacturing. | ||
| I mean, think about this. | ||
| The president's doing all of this just by executive order. | ||
| Think what would happen if the United States Congress actually got its butt into gear and passed some laws that reinforce what the president was doing. | ||
| That's what needs to happen now. | ||
| Congress needs to get with it and join the program here, help the president enact this agenda, get blue-collar people back to work, number one, higher wages, number two, get the illegals out, number three. | ||
| I mean, the president, he's well on the way. | ||
| He needs Congress now to do its job. | ||
| You're the prism that kind of helps us think through what's happening in the Senate on this bill. | ||
| Can you give us the finance committees coming out? | ||
| You got Medicaid, you got taxes. | ||
| We're hearing at least some analysis. | ||
| I'm seeing that all of the populist tax cuts are not through here intact, what the president wanted, and Medicaid still a little iffy. | ||
| Can you walk us through your perspective of where we stand, sir? | ||
| Yeah, I'm concerned by what the Senate leadership is proposing to do. | ||
| It's a big departure from what President Trump called for. | ||
| It's a big departure from what President Trump worked on with the House, to be honest with you. | ||
| I mean, last night they announced, Senate leadership that is, that they want to roll back some of these Trump tax cuts, the populist tax cuts. | ||
| No taxes on tips, no taxes on overtime. | ||
| Those are really reduced in the Senate proposal. | ||
| That makes no sense to me at all. | ||
| Why would we do that? | ||
| Here's another thing, Steve. | ||
| They want to extend the Green New Deal subsidies. | ||
| I mean, I have to tell you, that ought to be a big red line for everybody. | ||
| Why in the world would we pay to extend Joe Biden's giveaways to China, his giveaways to Wall Street, his giveaways to private equity? | ||
| It doesn't do anything for middle America. | ||
| It doesn't do anything for the working class in this country. | ||
| President Trump ran against it. | ||
| He was clear he wants the Green News scam gone. | ||
| And yet the Senate bill is proposing to extend the Green News scam in a whole bunch of ways. | ||
| And get this, pay for it. | ||
| By defunding rural hospitals. | ||
| There's a lot of problems here. | ||
| I mean, I just look at this and I'm like, why are they throwing the president under the bus? | ||
| I mean, I look at what the Senate wants to do. | ||
| And to me, it looks like they're just departing from everything the president has said is his priorities. | ||
| Here's my message. | ||
| Just stick with the president. | ||
| Cut the taxes for working people that the president wants cut. | ||
| Protect Medicaid like the president said. | ||
| Get rid of the Green News scam like the president has been doing in his executive orders. | ||
| It's time for Congress to get in the line here and to get on the job. | ||
| And I tell you, I look at what some of these senators are proposing to do, and I just don't recognize it. | ||
| I mean, this needs work, is all I can say. | ||
| We've got to get this thing fixed so we can get it to the president's desk. | ||
| This is what, I'm going to get to the taxes in a second, but this is what I'm going to get. | ||
| So many of the senators in the Senate represent states that have big rural populations, right? | ||
| Where are they coming out on this? | ||
| Because the rural hospitals are absolutely essential. | ||
| We lose those because the care is not great right now, but at least you got something. | ||
| Right. | ||
| If you extend the Green News scam, which is really underwriting the wealthy, let's be blunt about it, and the hedge funds and the guys are, quite frankly, have made bad investments and they need essentially what this is, the government bailout. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Why are these other senators that represent rural populations not as infuriated as you are, sir? | ||
| Yeah, I don't know. | ||
| I don't know if it's donor money. | ||
| I don't know if it's just who they go back and listen to and they go home, go to the country club. | ||
| But I can tell you. | ||
| Extending the Green New Deal and shoveling hundreds of billions of dollars. | ||
| Because that's what we're talking about here now, Steve. | ||
| And this new Senate proposal, I emphasize new. | ||
| This is not what the House passed. | ||
| This is not what the President has negotiated. | ||
| This is a new thing now. | ||
| In the new proposal, they're saying, yeah, let's spend hundreds of billions on Green New Deal subsidies that go to rich people, that go to China. | ||
| We're talking about China's solar farms here, Chinese solar panels. | ||
| And to pay for it, let's defund rural hospitals in the states that voted for Trump, like Missouri. | ||
| I mean, that's insane. | ||
| That's the nicest way I can say it. | ||
| That is absolutely insane. | ||
| We need a priority check here. | ||
| We need to get back to basics, get back to listening to the president, which is we should protect those rural hospitals, cut the Green New Deal to shreds, and cut taxes for working people. | ||
| It's not that hard. | ||
| Let's go to the populist tax cuts. | ||
| No tax on overtime, no tax on tips, and no tax on Social Security. | ||
| How do those fare right now in what the Senate has, sir? | ||
| The Senate's weakened them. | ||
| The Senate is rolling them back. | ||
| The Senate is reducing the scope, which, again, I just have to say, why? | ||
| In order to pay for more solar energy subsidies? | ||
| I mean, come on. | ||
| I'm concerned about it, Steve. | ||
| If you look at the text, it just came out last night. | ||
| This is the Senate proposal now. | ||
| Again, not what the House passed, not what the President negotiated. | ||
| This is a new proposal on the Senate side. | ||
| And what it does is, for those key tax cuts you just mentioned, it weakens them. | ||
| It reduces them. | ||
| So there's less. | ||
| And I'm just asking myself, why would we give our hardworking people, those blue collar workers we were just talking about, why would they get less so that China wind farms and China solar panel makers can get more? | ||
| Why would blue collar workers get less so that the hedge funds and private equity can get more? | ||
| I don't get it. | ||
| I mean, it doesn't help Missouri. | ||
| It doesn't help any red state. | ||
| Most importantly, it doesn't help anybody in the working class who voted for Donald Trump anywhere in this country. | ||
| And that's why I say we need an attitude adjustment here. | ||
| We need a priority adjustment in the United States Senate. | ||
| Let's get back to the president's agenda that won this election, which is tax cuts for working people, protect health care for working people, and end the giveaways to the rich, to China, and to Wall Street. | ||
| Walk us through process. | ||
| Our audiences, you know, they love the receipts and know where things are going. | ||
| What is the process now just in the Senate? | ||
| They're talking about a July I mean, what's the process right now as you see it? | ||
| Yeah, the process now will be the Senate will fiddle with this bill. | ||
| This is why there's time to change this bill. | ||
| It needs to be changed. | ||
| The Senate version has got to be fixed. | ||
| I mean, it's a mess right now. | ||
| It has got to be fixed. | ||
| We will vote on it maybe as early as next week, Steve. | ||
| And then after that, what I've heard... | ||
| So it's not going to keep ping-ponging back and forth. | ||
| The Senate will vote on it, and then it'll have to go back to the House because the Senate's making changes. | ||
| And then if the House passes it, that is it. | ||
| End of the ballgame, it goes to the president's desk. | ||
| And listen, the goal ought to be to get something to the president's desk as quickly as possible. | ||
| But, of course, it's got to be good. | ||
| It's got to be what the president actually wants, what he ran on, what our people voted for. | ||
| And, you know, I think the House turned in a pretty strong product. | ||
| We've got to get the Senate now to do its part here, and we've got to get them on the same page as the president. | ||
| My message is stick with the president and act the president's priorities. | ||
| And I'm alarmed. | ||
| I tell you, I mean, I do not like what I see out of the Senate. | ||
| What they proposed last night, what they just dropped last night, all of a sudden, boom, surprise! | ||
| Was really, it's a mess, and we've got to get this thing fixed and get it to the President's desk. | ||
| Are you going to have basically a fact sheet that people can go to before the posse goes to the ramparts? | ||
| We like to make sure they're fully armed with all the information so they can go through with it and think it through as they send emails, text messages, make phone calls and or collar their representatives. | ||
| Do you have... | ||
| Is there a place on your social media or on your website in the Senate that people can go to and actually hear or you're going to put one up today at some time during the day? | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Yes, we will. | ||
| We will do that today. | ||
| We will put it up today, Steve. | ||
| And folks can go to my website. | ||
| Holly Moe is my Twitter handle, my X handle. | ||
| Same handle for all the social media. | ||
| Just Google me. | ||
| You'll find my website in the Senate. | ||
| And we will put that out there so folks can see it. | ||
| We'll put the full text of the Senate proposal out there too, so that nobody taking my word for it and don't certainly don't take the, Go look yourself. | ||
| Go read these provisions. | ||
| And then absolutely call your senator and say, listen, stick with Trump. | ||
| I mean, I think that's the message here. | ||
| Stick with Trump. | ||
| Do what he wants to do, what he ran on, what we voted for him to do. | ||
| You know, let's get the Senate in line here and get this thing done. | ||
| Last thing, we've got about a minute. | ||
| By the way, if your staff lets us know, we'll send everybody there at a certain time of the day to make sure they get there and get all the information because the board loves the text and they love the details around it. | ||
| Senator Johnson in these cuts about the deficit, is that going to be addressed this week, you think? | ||
| He's making a big deal about that. | ||
| Just as far as process goes, because you just outlined a pretty quick process, when do you think that gets addressed or does it get addressed? | ||
| I think any changes will have to be made in the next about week, Steve. | ||
| I mean, I think that's the timeline we're working on here. | ||
| The president wants a bill by July the 4th on his desk. | ||
| He wants it to go through both Senate and House by that point. | ||
| You know, that's quick. | ||
| That's a couple weeks. | ||
|

|
So we've got a lot of work to do. | |
| Senator Hawley, one more time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Social media, where do people go to get you, sir? | |
| Hawley Moe. | ||
| Hawley Moe on X. Hawley Moe on all social media. | ||
| And we'll get those facts out there for you. | ||
| Thank you, Senator. | ||
| Appreciate you. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Senator Josh Hawley, walking you through the tax cuts. | |
| Got to make sure we focus on those tax cuts and also the situation with Medicaid, rural hospitals. | ||
| I know Senator Johnson, I think we're going to get him on the next couple of days. | ||
| They're very focused on deficit reduction or enough cuts been made. | ||
| He's got a plan. | ||
| I think there's other plans out there. | ||
| This is a quick, you know, Josh Hawley just broke some good news here. | ||
| I've heard the rumors about it, but the president, hey, once they sign it by July 4th, That means a lot of action between now and then. | ||
| Because essentially, the Senate bill would go back and the House would vote on that. | ||
| It wouldn't be like do a whole new negotiation on this and come up with some compromise and go to conference. | ||
| They're saying they're not going to ping-pong this thing back and forth. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That is a big, big news break. | |
| Driving to a 4 July signing by the President. | ||
| That means you've got to get through both the House and the Senate. | ||
| I noticed that they haven't put carried interest in as ordinary income. | ||
| Didn't change that for Wall Street. | ||
| I'm shocked. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||

|
short break. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Band. | ||
| Okay, a lot going on in the IC community. | ||
| Ezra Cohen just put something up quite controversial. | ||
| Tulsi Gabbard is over with, I think, Senate Intel today. | ||
| A lot of moving pieces here. | ||
| Remember, President Trump adamant, hey, not going to allow the moolahs to get a nuclear weapon. | ||
| He's been pretty adamant about that for a while. | ||
| Had a negotiation going on. | ||
| He gave him 60 days, and the 61st day, the Israelis attacked. | ||
| Right now, kind of up in the air about what's going on with Steve Witkoff and his team. | ||
| But it was put out there last night that President Trump wanted him to get together ASAP. | ||
| I don't think he's going to go through a long negotiation. | ||
| It doesn't sound like he's going to go through a long negotiation on the bill either. | ||
| Ron Johnson and guys are talking about deficit reduction. | ||
| We'll have to see what they come up with. | ||
| Obviously, this should not be a surprise to anybody, to anyone, that the Senate did not back the 100% populist tax cuts of President Trump. | ||
| That should not be a shocker. | ||
| Work all that out. | ||
| If we can put this up, John Solomon joins us now. | ||
| John, two things I got to get to. | ||
| Number one, any intelligence you've got. | ||
| Latest update as kind of it hangs in the balance. | ||
| President Trump has said he wants a deal. | ||
| He wants it signed. | ||
| He doesn't want no negotiations with the mullahs. | ||
| And obviously they're putting out things that he's always wanted. | ||
| You know, he's been adamant and never backed off. | ||
| They can't have nuclear weapons. | ||
| There's obviously coming from Fox and others, tons of pressures, other pressures too. | ||
| For President Trump to get engaged or provide the air assets and maybe even directly participate in the kinetic part of taking out Fedor and others. | ||
| Any insights you can give us, sir? | ||
| A couple. | ||
| First, I think late last week, U.S. intelligence got similar information as Israel that the Iranians had moved closer to having enough material for bomb. | ||
| That doesn't mean they had the bomb. | ||
| That takes time, right? | ||
| Even after you have enough material, then you have to take it from a gas vapor to a metallic thing and then create a delivery system. | ||
| So they weren't days away from having a bomb, but they were days away from having enough material to make the bomb. | ||
| And I think that that accelerated a lot of the action that we have seen over the last five to ten days. | ||
| My impression, from all the reporting I've done right now, is that America will continue to stay on the sidelines. | ||
| Not providing offensive support to Israel, but letting Israel do it. | ||
| And there's really no need for American support right now. | ||
| Israel has command of the skies. | ||
| They have aerial domination. | ||
| They could bomb at will. | ||
| And now that they've achieved that air superiority, they'll go in and make multiple passes of dropping Moab's, mother of all bombs, these bunker buster bombs, onto the primary, uh, If America was doing it, one B-2 with one big Moab could probably take it on one run. | ||
| Israel doesn't have the capacity to take the largest of our Moabs. | ||
| They have to use smaller ones. | ||
| So Israel will need more runs to implode these. | ||
| But now that they have air superiority, making multiple runs isn't a big issue. | ||
| And I suspect that Israel will finish its own job, which is to crush the Iranian nuclear program, and then there'll be some sort of a deal to be made now that Ayatollah will have nothing but rubble. | ||
| But I don't think the U.S. is looking for a fight. | ||
| It's not looking to go offensive. | ||
| The only thing that could potentially happen is if an American troop were attacked or a terror attack somewhere in the world against American assets. | ||
| I think then Trump would get engaged. | ||
| Let's assume your scenario, Part A, is that if they continue on, and by the way, I think people are very impressed. | ||
| They've got air superiority, air supremacy right now, with all the talk that the Persians had. | ||
| And Israel has, over the last 90 days, really done a job there on their air defense. | ||
| With the incoming that Israel's taking, the ballistic missile program that they have without nuclear warheads, do you think much still exists to kind of terrorize the people in Tel Aviv? | ||
| Because now we're hearing talk about, oh, well, this is really going through the nuclear program really to have regime change. | ||
| Do you think that that's what they're looking for? | ||
| And can actually the regime, could the Ayatollah or whoever's still alive there actually sign something to President Trump that wouldn't lead to their immediate collapse in Tehran, sir? | ||
| It's a great question, right? | ||
| We knew going into this aerial assault that Israel launched last week that the Iranian mullahs were in their weakest position with their own people in ages. | ||
| You saw these trucker protests a couple of weeks ago. | ||
| We've had almost four years of women's rights protests on the ground. | ||
| There is enormous economic strife. | ||
| The people of Iran are frustrated and sick of the malas and all of the A textbook case of excellent military operations by Israel. | ||
| Maybe now you move the agenda. | ||
| I think the agenda when Israel started, from all the reporting I've done, that it was really to completely disable and crush the Iranian nuclear program. | ||
| But now, with complete air superiority and just a wimpish Iranian air defenses, you might want to say, hey, let's go finish the job. | ||
| And I think that's what Netanyahu was signaling last night on ABC News with Jonathan Karl, There's not going to be peace until the Ayatollah is gone. | ||
| So I think the priorities have shifted, but I don't think they started that way. | ||
| I think Israel itself is remarkably surprised at how much dominance it currently has over Iran. | ||
| Let's pivot. | ||
| By the way, we'll obviously keep you in touch. | ||
| Keep in touch and want you on the show because you're reporting on this pretty special. | ||
| I think a lot of people in this audience are breathing a sigh of relief because of what John Salman just said. | ||
| John, It's hard to make my jaw drop anymore, but your story last night, the cash, what cash put out, because as you know, you, War Room, you know, John Solomon, Justin News, John Solomon Report, War Room, Posobiec, Charlie Kirk, even Lindell, so many of us hammered this day in and day out, particularly those of us that are very focused on the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| Tell the audience what cash delivered last night. | ||
| And what the reality is here because this is about as jaw-dropping as you can get, sir. | ||
| Yeah, let's set the stage. | ||
| Let's remind everybody that in December of 2020, 60 Minutes aired a piece with the head of the Homeland Security Cybersecurity Division saying there were no foreign intrusions in the 2020 election. | ||
| It was a perfectly clean election, he said. | ||
| I think it was Chris Krebs was his name. | ||
| We now know that to have been a false proclamation. | ||
| First, we know a year later in 21, a bunch of Iranians were indicted in Manhattan on charges that they interfered in the election and hacked into a state database to obtain voter IDs and use them in a mal-influence operation against the American election. | ||
| The FBI, in August 2020, so three and a half months before the votes were cast, put Joe Biden in the presidency. | ||
| That FBI believed that China had begun a mass operation to produce fake U.S. driver's licenses, move them to the United States, and have Chinese citizens here on our side, both legally and illegally, go out and get fake mail-in ballots and vote to try to elect Joe Biden. | ||
| By the way, the FBI intelligence says this Chinese operation, from a Chinese intelligence source that the FBI was handling, was designed to help Joe Biden beat Donald Trump. | ||
| It's very important. | ||
| That was the intention. | ||
| The intelligence was strong enough to send out to all of the intelligence agencies. | ||
| And then a few days later, it was called back on the auspices that they wanted to re-interview the source. | ||
| Now, the source was re-interviewed a second time, stuck to a story. | ||
| In the meantime, the Customs and Border Patrol, Border Protection Agency, intercepted 20,000 of these fake driver's IDs, essentially carotid. | ||
| But the Biden administration, the Chris Wray FBI, they simply covered this up. | ||
| And for five years, we were kept in the dark until this intelligence document was sent last night to Chuck Grassley from Kash Patel. | ||
| No, no, no, no, no, no, no. | ||
| We weren't kept in the dark, brother. | ||
| You went after this. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| It was a bald-faced lie, was it not? | ||
| They lied about this and covered it up. | ||
| They were lying, right? | ||
| I just want to make sure I get that, because you went after this. | ||
| We were called nutcases, kooks, conspiracy theorists. | ||
| Under every bed, we got a Chinese Communist Party member. | ||
| All of that, right? | ||
| And it turns out we were 100% accurate about directionally we knew something was up there. | ||
| Is that essentially what the story is this morning? | ||
| Yeah, there's another very important thing to keep in mind with this. | ||
| This intelligence shows that China saw mail-in ballots as an enormous vulnerability during the COVID-19 pandemic. | ||
| And our enemies look for weaknesses, not for strengths. | ||
| They don't look for the hardest thing to do. | ||
| They look for the easiest thing to do to us. | ||
| That is a warning sign. | ||
| Now, lots have happened since 2020, and with all of the voter ID and other things, we've tightened up laws in several states. | ||
| And where we've tightened up the laws in the states, people vote more because they have greater confidence in the system. | ||
| But China saw this as an exploitable operation, and I think that should concern all of us. | ||
| And in any state that doesn't have their mail-in voting to the proximal best security measures, there's a foreign enemy looking to exploit it right now. | ||
| That's what these documents show. | ||
| That's what he kept saying. | ||
| We're not machine guys. | ||
| We're mail-in ballots guys. | ||
| It's not that the machines don't have tremendous vulnerabilities. | ||
| John Solomon, you more than anybody have shown those. | ||
| It's that the mail-in ballots were just sitting, you could see, that was teed up by what happened in 2020. | ||
| John, where do people go to get all your breaking news? | ||
| Particularly, John, people are going to be quite interested in your take on the hang-on of America's involvement in offensive combat operations, particularly air sortie. | ||
| So where do people go, sir? | ||
| Yeah, justinnews.com is the website for all of our news reporting and Jay Solomon reports on all social media. | ||
| And we'll keep you up to date on all we're hearing. | ||
| Today will be a big deal. | ||
| I think by the end of the night, we'll know what President Trump was hinting at. | ||
| Thank you, sir. | ||
| Thank you, John Solomon. | ||
| Good to be with you. | ||
| Thanks for having me on. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
|

|
Always. | |
| Wow. | ||
| Hangs in the balance right now, folks. | ||
| Many things. | ||
| This is what I said. | ||
| The 10th anniversary. | ||
| Is the preamble for the next couple hundred days. | ||
| Both the war at home and in the streets of LA and in Chicago and New York, what's happening on Capitol Hill with the taxes and the spending, the bill, and the Third World War. | ||
| All of it. | ||
| You're seeing a convergence of the crises. | ||
| We'll work our way through here. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| Hopefully going to talk a little high finance next, only in the word. | ||

The founding of America is just a year away. | |
| The battle for independence began right here in Massachusetts. | ||
| And this weekend marks 250 years since the Battle of Bunker Hill. | ||
| And we're going to introduce you to the reenactors set to bring the battle to life in present day. | ||
| We're in the 258th, obviously, the American Revolution right now, and it all started right here. | ||
| I'm Israel Putnam, and I will be commanding the provincial forces here in the colony. | ||
| They called him Old Put. | ||
| He was 57 at the time. | ||
| Israel Putnam was an experienced soldier. | ||
| He was born up on the North Shore, moved to Connecticut, but he had served during the French and Indian War, so he was an experienced officer when the revolution happened. | ||
| At the Battle of Bunker Hill, he technically was in charge at the actual battle. | ||
| Company will advance! | ||
| My name's Eric Chetland. | ||
| I've been a reenactor for about 49 years. | ||
| My father actually started during the bicentennial when all the towns around here had militia groups and were celebrating, obviously, the 200. | ||
| And so he made it a family thing. | ||
| Fire! | ||
| If you think of Boston in 1775, it's under occupation by the British Army. | ||
| So there's actually a siege, right? | ||
| We've had Lexington and Concord, the shot heard around the world, and the militia from all the surrounding colonies have come together and formed a siege line around Boston, trapping the British in the city. | ||
| Shoulder your fireworks! | ||

Artemis Ward, overall provincial commander, ordered Israel Putnam and several groups, including William Prescott's regiment, to go to Bunker Hill. | |
| Build a redoubt, fortify the place so that the British could not just come and easily take it. | ||
| The British don't realize they're there yet. | ||
| In the morning as the sun rises, the harbor is filled with British ships and the HMS Lively is one of them. | ||
| Suddenly see the fort and start opening fire on the fort. | ||
| From there, a general cannonade starts to form on the British side where they're now firing at the fort. | ||
| So that's sort of the opening of the Battle of Bunker Hill. | ||
| Israel survived, and he went on to do more things in the American Revolution. | ||
| Shortly after Bunker Hill, George Washington arrives. | ||
| The Continental Congress has decided that we don't need a New England army, we need a continental or U.S. equivalent army. | ||
| Washington takes charge of that, which leads to kind of the birth of the modern American army. | ||
| We're here to tell their story. | ||
| If you can walk away with a little bit of the story and you go, oh, I didn't know that about that, that's our goal. | ||
| We're representing those stories. | ||
| 2.50 today. | ||
| In the afternoon showroom, I'm going to spend a little more time on this. | ||
| We've got too much breaking news this morning, but to make sure we commemorate it. | ||
| One thing, just remember from your heritage, let's leave even the French and Indian War side, A quarter of a millennium ago. | ||
| Americans could fight. | ||
| The British Army, and particularly the expeditionary force over here, was, this is an army that's tough as boot leather, right? | ||
| It's not the Royal Navy. | ||
| The Royal Navy is one of the greatest institutions ever created by man. | ||
| In fact, the American Navy has taken so much from it and learned so much from it, but the Royal Navy is a world historical institution. | ||
| The British Army ain't too shabby, not too shabby, and tough. | ||
| The Grenadiers, you know, you said the song, the British Grenadiers, Grenadiers were tough. | ||
| They knew early on, and this is why the fight's in commons later, because the American Revolution... | ||
| The intense debates in Commons, how personal it got, how heated it got. | ||
| Don't think there was a monolith in the United Kingdom, in England, about this war. | ||
| It's very, very contentious. | ||
| But the one thing they knew at an operational level is that the Americans could fight. | ||
| Between Lexington and Concord where Their tactical, I guess, retreat or their movement back to Cambridge and to Boston. | ||
| They were hit and hit hard by tactics that really had been perfected a lot in the French and Indian Wars. | ||
| But at Bunker Hill, different. | ||
| as they stand up, slugfest. | ||
| And the Continental Army And that's when they realized, hey, we've got a fight on our hands. | ||
| And particularly given the kind of disastrous, I shouldn't say disastrous, actually smart, but was not particularly well executed. | ||
| A lot of these, at the signing of the Declaration of Independence, as we tell you, this army that was in New England really, I think, went to Nova Scotia and then came down. | ||
| It landed. | ||
| The same day the Declaration of Independence was promulgated. | ||
| So essentially the expeditionary force, which was massive, the largest expeditionary force ever, I think, at that time assembled. | ||
| I think larger than the Persians, larger than anything up to that time. | ||
| This expeditionary force ran the tables on Washington, but he held the army together and then struck back. | ||
| On Christmas night at Trenton when they crossed the Delaware. | ||
| But they found out that the American army at Saratoga and other places could give as good as they got. | ||
| That's your heritage. | ||
| Your heritage is about people that took action in that moment. | ||
| Right? | ||
| And delivered. | ||
| This is one of the decisions for President Trump today. | ||
| And if you can pray for President Trump. | ||
| And as MTG says, pray for our troops. | ||
| I think today's a good day to do that. | ||
| I think pray for President Trump for guidance. | ||
| So he gets good guidance and he thinks this through with his heart and that God touches him today and thinking this through. | ||
| The pressure around President Trump is absolutely relentless. | ||
| I mean, if you have watched Fox, because we kind of monitor. | ||
| Fox now because of this situation. | ||
| It's just nonstop. | ||
| All they're doing, and they're talking about, you know, the negotiations are nothing, the push, just like in Iraq. | ||
| And remember, what percentage of this audience, being good American citizens and conservatives, and probably a lot of you Republicans at the time, just go back in time, particularly the older members of the audience, and think back to 2003. | ||
| What were you told on the lead-up to that? | ||
| Don't take it from me. | ||
| Go back and think of the lead-up to that. | ||
| What were you told at the time? | ||
| What did people that come to the White House podium tell you looking at the straight face? | ||
| Many people are on TV today. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Many people who are not even associated with Fox News or the conservative movement of the Republican Party. | ||
| They're over at MSNBC and other places. | ||
| What were you told time and time again to kind of prep the information war battlefield? | ||
| What were you told? | ||
| And then this is why the first day of it, why did we end that with shock and awe in the movement up to Baghdad? | ||
| Because particularly these things always start with the Big Bang. | ||
| But remember, that Big Bang on 19 March of 2003 didn't end for, what, 10, 15, almost 20 years? | ||
| Afghanistan over 20 years? | ||
| In fact, they're still in Iraq today. | ||
| That's the troops, they say, that are basically exposed to Iran. | ||
| Why are they in Iraq today? | ||
| Because after that genius move by the Bush administration and many others that supported it, Iran, the Persians, control a big part of Iraq because of the Shiite religion, particularly down to the south, right? | ||
| And just think of what – how you were – We miscalculated 20% on intelligence. | ||
| Or we made a bad judgment on intelligence. | ||
| You were lied to. | ||
| Bald-faced lies. | ||
| President Trump's breakout moment in the 2016 primaries was not about confronting China and bringing jobs back here to the United States. | ||
| It wasn't even about immigration or building the wall. | ||
| A lot of people created that. | ||
| In the South Carolina primary, the South Carolina primary, which the Republican Party there had a strong grip of the Bush apparatus. | ||
| And they played kind of hardball down in South Carolina in Republican politics. | ||
| And given also the patriotic nature of South Carolina, South Carolina is one of those states, like many others, particularly in the South. | ||
| Honored to come from the Commonwealth of Virginia that supply a lot of young men and women to the armed forces and are very patriotic. | ||
| That when he brought up about the Iraq war and just called Jeb Bush out to his face and his whole family to his face, there was a shock moment in the audience. | ||
| And every pundit as yesterday, except for Tucker. | ||
| Every pundit said it was the end of Trump. | ||
| You couldn't go forward because you couldn't really go to that core of Republican orthodoxy. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| He went in a blowout and then started to spread the field on this very issue of the forever wars. | ||
| So as supporters of President Trump, I think today we don't need to inundate President Trump with calls to the White House or anything like that. | ||
| I don't think today what you need to do is pray for President Trump. | ||
| Pray for our troops. | ||
| We pray for President Trump in his heart, in his mind. | ||
| Seeks the guidance he needs. | ||
| I'll leave it at that. | ||
| Because I think that's what we need today. | ||
| Today could be a very important day. | ||
| John Solomon, I think, reiterated what I'm hearing for many people that we talk to is that, hey, He offered these guys a deal. | ||
| They kind of didn't take it seriously or thought they could just tap him along. | ||
| He can't be tapped along. | ||
| And now I think he's very focused on is there anybody there that actually can make a deal that can stick? | ||
| But he's sticking by his beliefs that they cannot have a nuclear weapon and would not be allowed to have a nuclear weapon. | ||
| So that's where we stand. | ||
| Other news you heard today from Josh Hawley. | ||
| So three things. | ||
| One, that's the Third World War. | ||
| Of course, things going in Russia. | ||
| The Russians hit Kiev last night with another pretty big attack. | ||
| The Third World War kind of continues to metastasize. | ||
| It's now not just in Gaza in the Middle East or the Red Sea or with the Houthis and the southern portion of Saudi Arabia. | ||
| It's now in Persia in the heart of it, right? | ||
| An ancient civilization. | ||
| So that cauldron continues to boil. | ||
| And are we getting sucked in over there, away from, to me, the essential, besides the United States and the fights in the streets here, that we have to win the mass deportations that have to continue on? | ||
| You're taking a carrier battle group out of the South China Sea, just like as a young man. | ||
| Back in 79, after the hostages were taken, we were there for our second deployment to patrol the South China Sea, to patrol around Taiwan, and to make sure we had our... | ||
| We were taken with many other assets, formed into a battle group eventually. | ||
| But to go, the same as the Nimitz is going through the Straits of Malacca. | ||
| To the Indian Ocean and to the North Arabian Sea and there to be on point. | ||
| Back in those days, they had what was called Gonzo Station and Camel Station. | ||
| Those are the two kind of geographic navigational and article pinpoints where we kind of position ourselves although we moved around and particularly the run-up. | ||
| And that's what they're doing now. | ||
| Those carrier battle groups, and there are going to be three, are doing 24-hour-a-day exercises. | ||
| What are those exercises? | ||
| They're doing exercises on potential, if they need to, combat sorties. | ||
| In fact, I would say, just like the Chinese Communist Party is doing in the East and South China Sea now, it's probably not exercises. | ||
| It's probably more of rehearsals. | ||
| Now, the main event could always be waved off, but they're going to be very much focused on a combat operation, if so called on, that they will be ready. | ||
| You be ready to, as you said with Josh Hawley, we're going to need you at the Ramparts. | ||
| Home title lock, the $1 million triple lock protection. | ||
| Remember, the only thing that says you own that home, that real asset, is the piece of paper called a title. | ||
| Triple lock, 24-hour coverage. | ||
| If anything happens, you're alerted immediately. | ||

Here's your host, Stephen K. Babb. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. We got today that Josh Hawley gave us the news that President Trump wants a bill on his desk. | ||
| That means passed by the Senate and the House. | ||
| By July 4th in design. | ||
| Two days later is in Rio, the Rio reset. | ||
| This bill will have a lot to do, I think, particularly the deficits and how they're financed over time. | ||
| It's going to have a lot to do with what the BRICS nations... | ||
| The Global South has kind of aligned itself around the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| It's had a big influence. | ||
| Not that we can't break that, right? | ||
| One of the ways we break that is make sure that the... | ||
| And the way you do that is make sure you don't run up multi-tillion dollar deficits every year. | ||
| Make sure you go to birchgold.com. | ||
| We've worked on this for four years. | ||
| We were right on this four years ago when I don't know the price of gold was $1,100, $1,200 something. | ||
| And I said, I just don't want people to focus like these gold sellers on just, oh, this is gold, this is gold. | ||
| Let's teach people something that sticks with them forever and maybe they can pass on. | ||
| That's the end of the dollar empire. | ||
| Four years, seventh free installment, the Rio Reset. | ||
| But get them all and read them. | ||
| Even if you don't fully understand it, you'll start to get the nomenclation. | ||
| Like any process of learning, you'll start to get the nomenclation. | ||

| Promo code Bannon. | ||
| The End of the Dollar Empire, the seventh free installment, the Rio Reset, which will take place on the 6th of July when they meet down there. | ||
| Of course, Philip Patrick and his team will be there live. | ||
| If we can get Eric Bowling in the country, maybe Eric goes from Brazil. | ||
| Brazil don't love, the Brazilian government don't love the war room right now for obvious reasons. | ||
| We're huge supporters of Bolsonaro. | ||
| So make sure you go check it out today. | ||
| Somebody else we're a huge supporter of is Glenn Story and Patriot Mobile, the team down there. | ||
| I want to bifurcate this real quickly because I want to talk about the company for a second, but just folks cannot get their head around what's going on in Texas. | ||
| I understand you guys have been kind of the backbone of it. | ||
| We are going to go down working out with Glenn now to actually do some of the shows down from his incredible studio down there in the headquarters. | ||
| But just give me a minute. | ||
| People are saying, hey, Texas is MAGA. | ||
| Texas may be the railhead of MAGA. | ||
| Trump won by 14 points. | ||
| This is after $400 million from George Soros. | ||
| By the way, the son knowing something's up, that guy called the heir that married Uma Abedin over the weekend, he's committed at least a couple hundred million dollars to getting back in there and turning it blue. | ||
| Give me a minute on that before we talk about Patriot Mobile. | ||
| What's going on in Texas? | ||
| You know what? | ||
| Everybody thinks it's as red as the American flag. | ||
| It's not. | ||
| We're under duress. | ||
| I mean, they're under attack left and right, primarily from Soros and the Libs, that they know if they take Texas, they take the rest of the country. | ||
| And, you know, I love Arizona and I love all these other states, but we have to do everything we can to save Texas. | ||
| And support our House of Representatives that passed the laws. | ||
| We've got to support our senators, our state senators, and really get this thing taken care of. | ||
| Talk to me about, by the way, so we're going to be pounding in there nonstop. | ||
| You've introduced us to some great people, and there's a lot to do in Texas, and we have to keep Texas not just red, but MAGA red. | ||
| Talk to me about the company. | ||
| Why now, Patriot Mobile? | ||
| You guys have proven beyond any shadow of a doubt you've had support of the MAGA movement. | ||
| You've been here as a sponsor of so many different companies. | ||
| You know, you and Mike Lindell have been the two kind of folks who have stood up for making sure you don't give your money to companies that hate you. | ||
| But talk to me, why now, why Patriot Mobile now and this time, sir? | ||
| Well, you know what? | ||
| Look, the most important part is we put God first. | ||
| He is at the helm of our business. | ||
| And I will say this. | ||
| He blesses everything we do. | ||
| And we are not just a cell phone service provider. | ||
| Yeah, we have these cell phones. | ||
| We sell the service under it. | ||
| But what we do with it is what's important. | ||
| We support causes and candidates that glorify God's name, right? | ||
| Most importantly. | ||
| We put him first. | ||
| We live by biblical principles, and we support those causes that align with freedom every day. | ||
| And that's really the most important part. | ||
| And, you know, we've been here for 12 years, right? | ||
| We've been through, when we started the business, Obama was at the helm of the country. | ||
| We went through that, and then Trump, and then back through Biden, and now through Trump. | ||
| And you know what? | ||
| The business has grown. | ||
| Beyond my imagination, and it is his blessings. | ||
| And, you know, we use the dollars that come in to then turn around and support those causes like First Amendment, Second Amendment, military and first responders, and sanctity of life. | ||
| Why? | ||
| I've got about a minute here. | ||
| Just on the, you know, I keep saying, hey, this service is second to none. | ||
| Particularly, you stop giving your money to people who hate you, these phone companies, right? | ||
| These service providers. | ||
| But with you, you're giving your money to somebody that supports your causes and the service is actually better since you can pick and choose and layer on top of all three services. | ||
| Give me a minute on that. | ||
| Why people should make the switch today. | ||
| Yeah, it's simple to do. | ||
| It really is. | ||
| If you have phone service today, you'll have service with Patriot. | ||
| We have the opportunity to buy from all the different carriers, and we package it in a way that when you call in, you talk to somebody here in Texas or out in California, i.e. | ||
| a redneck, or, you know, we get to put in different networks. | ||
| But here's one of the best things you can ever do. | ||
| We can put multiple networks on one phone so you never are without coverage. | ||
| We call that Patriot Mobile One. | ||
| Very, very simple to do, and it's a small fee, and it's a backup line. | ||
| It's incredible. | ||
| And not only that, Steve, we have great business-to-business opportunities. | ||
| We have businesses up to 1,000 accounts, and they love what we do because they have the best support. | ||
| That they've ever had. | ||
| You know, we put people in their offices or that we have always a live person ready to chat with you during the day. | ||
| 972-Patriot or PatriotMobile.com. | ||
| Tell them Bannon sent you. | ||
| See if they give you a high five. | ||
| Yeah, they certainly will. | ||
| Glenn Story, you are unique. | ||
| You're a true patriot, brother. | ||
| You've been in the trenches. | ||
| You support people. | ||
| You're a relentless fighter. | ||
| Honored to have you on here today, sir. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| That's my blessing. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| The fight down in Texas, folks. | ||
| I'm telling you, something not right down there. | ||
| Not right. | ||
| That's full MAGA. | ||
| Trump won by 14 points after years of putting in the money. | ||
| The great Charlie Kirk is next. | ||
| Poso after that, so you want to stick around for those next three hours. | ||
| Very important, particularly on a day like today. | ||
| Got Gruber after that. | ||
| Bowling. | ||
| We're back here 5 to 7. Do not miss the show tonight. | ||
| We're going to be on fire. | ||
