Once the enemy positions are pinpointed, the unit maneuvers to concentrate its fire and saturate the area. | |
| After inflicting all damage possible on the red positions, the patrol will pull back within its own lines. | ||
| The patrol will be the same. | ||
| The patrol will be the same. | ||
| In Korea, United Nations troops push on in the cautious advance against the communists. | ||
| An advance whose purpose, General Ridgway states, is not to seize ground, but to wipe out the enemy. | ||
| The Chinese Red Army, fighting desperately in small isolated stands, prefers to give ground on wider fronts rather than join battle. | ||
| And it's up to the infantry to clear out the pockets of die-hard communists. | ||
| With the enemy falling back to the Han River, United Nations commanders had expected that the Reds would make their stand there. | ||
| But under a steady, withering barrage, GIs are able to cross the river and establish a beachhead. | ||
| Within two hours, a pontoon bridge spans the Han and United Nations troops and equipment pour across toward the capital city of Seoul. | ||
| The End Moments later, Chinese communists, prisoners are being marched to the rear. | ||
| Seoul, too, falls into United Nations hands, this time not as a prime military target, but as the result of the clean United Nations sweep up the Korean Peninsula. | ||
| The once proud capital of the Korean Republic is a mass of ruins whose able-bodied men have been carried off to forced service in North Korea. | ||
| Children and the aged are left to see the liberation of their city. | ||
| Above Seoul, Mudd and the Marines take over. | ||
| For once, the Marines almost meet their match as spring thaws slow down the United Nations push. | ||
| The Marines came back into action only recently from the Hong Nam B-10. | ||
| Despite obstacles, United Nations forces drive on to the 38th parallel border of North Korea. | ||
| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
| Pray for our enemies. | ||
| Because we're going medieval on these people. | ||
| You're going to get 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 line? | ||
| Mega Media. | ||
| I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. | ||
| Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? | ||
| If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. | ||

War Room. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Band. | ||
| Band. | ||
| It's Wednesday, 25 June in the year of our Lord 2025, 75 years ago today, the beginning of the Korean War. | ||
| Of course, at the time, it was called a, you know, the legislation they passed was being a police effort, a police action. | ||
| Incredibly bloody. | ||
| War's still not ended. | ||
| They kind of have a ceasefire. | ||
| Just like President Trump got the other day between the Persians and the Israelis, a ceasefire. | ||
| President Trump today at NATO, and this is why it was so important. | ||
| He finally had NATO, he finally got NATO to step up to the plate for a meaningful defense, 5% of GDP. | ||
| Folks, I don't think it's easy to comprehend what a massive victory that is for President Trump. | ||
| These were people at the beginning, they couldn't even get to 2%. | ||
| They committed to 2% when they overthrew the democratically elected, although Putin-aligned, government in Ukraine in a color revolution driven by the United States State Department. | ||
| Remember Victoria Newland? | ||
| A couple, three of those other war criminals? | ||
| Well, NATO said they had to go to 2% of the time. | ||
| Never matched it. | ||
| Never made it. | ||
| And if you actually looked at what they were spending, it was on climate change and women's health care and just everything but combat arms, anything but interoperability. | ||
| Maneuvers had to actually work as an alliance, right? | ||
| Work as an alliance. | ||
| So NATO was kind of in shambles. | ||
| President Trump, and it was quite endearing today. | ||
| He was really very paternal. | ||
| We're honored to have Senator Eric Schmidt from the great state of Missouri. | ||
| Senator, thank you very much. | ||
| I was just talking. | ||
| We did a preamble to the Shur Cold Open. | ||
| I know you couldn't see it, but it was about the Korean War. | ||
| We couldn't play it this morning because we covered for the first hour President Trump's remarks and his Amazing press conference. | ||
| I know you've got a lot of thoughts on this, on burden sharing and being an ally. | ||
| What do you take away from President Trump's trip to the Netherlands for the two-day summit, sir? | ||
| Well, Steve, it's great to be with you, by the way. | ||
| I think it's pretty remarkable that, you know, I consider myself a realist, right? | ||
| And I think you view the world similarly. | ||
| And it's really kind of coming of age now. | ||
| We're moving away from this sort of neoliberal, this neoconservative, this kind of Wilsonian view of the world where so many of the foreign policy blob in this town in permanent Washington think we could be everywhere all at once all the time. | ||
| And that's not true. | ||
| Like if you believe in scarcity, we have to make decisions. | ||
| What are in the core interests of the United States of America? | ||
| Clearly, the 21st century is going to be defined by who wins this great competition, us or China. | ||
| So Europe has to step up in a much more meaningful way. | ||
| So President Trump having that conversation with European leaders in 2017 and 2018, very different than the reception he got today, which I think is telling and why the election was so important in 2024. | ||
| It cements the status. | ||
| He's a real leader. | ||
| And I think I actually went to Munich, the security conference. | ||
| I had never been. | ||
| I went this February. | ||
| J.D. Vance was over there too, and of course delivered that really important speech about free speech. | ||
| And I went over there to tell him not what these Europeans wanted to hear, but the truth, which is you need to step up. | ||
| Like this dynamic that existed after World War II where we kind of had an umbrella of security, we had these ridiculous trade deals, all that was to make sure that they could, you know, stave off Soviet communism. | ||
| Well, after the Cold War, we never really adjusted. | ||
| And now is the time for that kind of adjustment from a foreign policy perspective, sort of the globalists had their time. | ||
| And then also on the trade side, which is why it's so important what President Trump's trying to do to rebalance the equation on trade, too. | ||
| So I'm just really optimistic. | ||
| Now, the proof will be in the pudding, Steve, as you know. | ||
| They've made sort of these great flowery speeches before. | ||
| They're 5% number. | ||
| It can't be for pensions. | ||
| Like pensions and percentage of GDP don't win wars. | ||
| Munitions do. | ||
| Bullets do. | ||
| And the problem, of course, Europe has is they have an atrophied defense industry and the deindustrialization that even Germany now is experiencing. | ||
| They got a lot of problems. | ||
| But at least this is positive momentum, and it's really all because of President Trump. | ||
| You know, they're hectoring President Trump about the different intelligence reports. | ||
| And, of course, he says, hey, look, it's total obliteration, and we did our job. | ||
| The 12-day war is over. | ||
| I'm getting back on a plane. | ||
| I got other problems. | ||
| I'm trying to deal with the Ukraine situation. | ||
| What are your thoughts on the 12-day war and where are we standing right now? | ||
| He said, hey, look, the Iranians may come in next week. | ||
| I may meet with the Persians. | ||
| I don't know if I'm going to sign anything. | ||
| What's your sense? | ||
| And what's the folks in Missouri's sense of all this? | ||
| Well, I tell you, we were in this kind of Ukraine debate, what, a year and a half ago, like more money for Ukraine. | ||
| And I would say on the Senate floor, speaking out against the additional money was there's literally been no person in Missouri who's ever come up to me and said, you know what, Eric, we want you to go fight for another $60 or $80 billion for Ukraine. | ||
| This just never came up. | ||
| Ironically, securing their border while we had a wide open southern border. | ||
| So now, you know, I think that, again, this sort of realism view is kind of taking hold. | ||
| And I think what President Trump, the most important thing, Steve, that happened, I think in the last week, and I talked to President Trump to thank him because I was talking to him. | ||
| I didn't want to get us dragged into some long, protracted conflict in the Middle East. | ||
| The American people don't want that. | ||
| Missourians don't want that. | ||
| Now, a targeted, overwhelming Jacksonian sort of show force on a key strategic core national interest of the United States, that's one thing. | ||
| But I think his ability and the restraint that he showed in pivoting to peace and a ceasefire was really important because trust me, there were plenty of people in this town who were wanting him to be more engaged and have more involvement and pull us in. | ||
| And I think if we've learned anything from the last 30 years, which I hope we have, is that that's just not our role. | ||
| We can't be the cop on the beat around the world. | ||
| We've got a lot of problems here that we need to address. | ||
| We still need to be sort of a dominant military, but overwhelming force only when it's in our interest. | ||
| And we're not going to be nation builders around the world with this kind of wandering foreign policy that's dominated the last 30 years. | ||
| By the way, our audience remembers because we played your speech in its entirety from the floor. | ||
| And I think it's one of the big reasons Mitch McConnell's not majority leader. | ||
| I think it was your speech and a couple others that really you stuck the landing. | ||
| By the way, Missouri had a pretty big part in this, right? | ||
| The B-2s that came out of Missouri? | ||
| Yeah, that's right. | ||
| The B-2s are Lightman Air Force Base. | ||
| And, you know, it's just kind of incredible. | ||
| I've been there. | ||
| It's an incredibly secure facility. | ||
| Like, literally, if you cross a couple double yellow lines, they'll shoot you on site. | ||
| Like, it's like, you know, importantly so, right? | ||
| Because those B-2s are all there. | ||
| But to, you know, the deception, you know, having a couple go to Guam, meanwhile, the others were flying eastward. | ||
| But to be in that cockpit for 30 straight hours, you know, no real signal intelligence and to drop bunker busting bombs on something the size of a wheelbarrow is pretty remarkable and very effective. | ||
| And they effectively obliterated Iran's nuclear weapon ambition. | ||
| So, yeah, kudos to the men and women who were part of that white men. | ||
| And I talked to the president. | ||
| I know we want to try to get them to the White House at some point. | ||
| But yeah, Missouri played a key role. | ||
| Senator, before you came to the U.S. Senate, you were one of the toughest attorney generals in the country. | ||
| What is your sense? | ||
| Because I know the president talks to you a lot about this. | ||
| What is your sense of these judges and you're seeing these rules? | ||
| We've got the deportations and then you get orders from the Supreme Court. | ||
| People are not getting out. | ||
| I mean, they talk about the rule of law. | ||
| I've never seen anything like this. | ||
| Is part of the judiciary an act of revolt against not just the rule of law, but also Article II of the Constitution, sir? | ||
| Yeah, I think so. | ||
| And you saw, I think, the most glaring example. | ||
| Yeah, it's interesting. | ||
| Actually, my Solicitor General, John Sauer, became the Solicitor General of the United States, and then the first four district court judges out of the gate were in my AG's office. | ||
| So we're really proud of what the imprint Missouri's had on kind of fighting for the rule of law. | ||
| We pushed back against the vaccine mandates and won. | ||
| We had the Missouri versus Biden, of course, the censorship case. | ||
| We brought that. | ||
| We had that student loan debt forgiveness case. | ||
| We won at the Supreme Court. | ||
| So really proud of that. | ||
| We want to hold that. | ||
| And what you see now is this judge in Massachusetts just yesterday defying the Supreme Court order. | ||
| I mean, these are rapists and murderers. | ||
| And I think that's sort of the next frontier. | ||
| This is outside the bounds of any reasonable discussion, right? | ||
| But I think here, my take on it, Steve, ultimately is, as you saw with that decision from the Supreme Court and others, these leftist district court judges, these real activist judges, they kind of have their 50, like Boesberg, right? | ||
| They have their 15 minutes of fame. | ||
| But as they make their way up the court system and ultimately the Supreme Court, I think President Trump is by and large going to be successful with his agenda because, of course, the president, who's the only person elected by the entire country, the head basically of the Article II branch, can make decisions on personnel and programming. | ||
| He has immense authority, of course, you know, under the Alien Enemies Act. | ||
| I've legislation to expand the expedited removal provisions of the 1990s reform that allowed him to remove people quicker. | ||
| So all of these things as they play out, even though there's, I think, a lot of kicking and screaming, by and large, he's going to be pretty successful. | ||
| But it is, I think you're seeing sort of the last gasp of leftism as it made its way under the Article III branch. | ||
| But I think the law is on our side. | ||
| We got about 30 seconds. | ||
| Will the president be signing the big beautiful bill on the 4th of July on his desk? | ||
| We still got a ways to go, some work in the Senate to do. | ||
| There's still some work in the Senate, but I'm still hopeful. | ||
| I think we'll get there. | ||
| But yeah, we're working through all that right now. | ||
| Senator Schmidt, where do people go to find out more about your website, your social media? | ||
| How do people get to know you? | ||
| Yeah, Eric underscore Schmidt, SCHMITT. | ||
| I'm pretty active on X, and then we're on Instagram and Facebook and all that, too. | ||
| We encourage people to reach out and interact. | ||
| And we'll have to get on your show more often, Steve. | ||
| Really appreciate what you do. | ||
| You have an open invitation. | ||
| The president speaks incredibly highly of you, and I know he appreciates your guidance, sir. | ||
| So thank you very much for coming on, and thank you for representing the great people in the great city of Missouri. | ||
| Thanks, Steve. | ||
| Take care. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| President Trump won there by 18 points. | ||
| That is, Missouri is not just a red state, it's MAGA country. | ||
| Okay, we're going to take a short commercial break. | ||

Here's your host, Stephen K. Bass. | |
| Okay, to talk about politics and economics, national security. | ||
| You know, President Trump had a great talk today about Secretary of War in the EOB, that building we've shown you many times when the dignitaries are coming up, that kind of classical building that looks like it was built late in the 19th century. | ||
| That was the Secretary of War's in the state at one time. | ||
| And the older building, I think, was actually the War Department where President Lincoln spent so much of the Civil War in the Telegraph Office. | ||
| But all these are kind of anti-rich links. | ||
| we've talked about the convergence of these crises. | ||
| And so, what's happening in the Middle East, in the war, the 12-day war, and what's happening in Kiev, and President Trump today is saying, hey, 7,000 casualties last week on the Ukraine side. | ||
| So he's very moved by that. | ||
| He's trying to stop as we talk about the kinetic part of the Third World War. | ||
| But this war is also in politics. | ||
| We say all the time that one of the central front is in Los Angeles, the streets of Los Angeles and Chicago, where at least 10 million illegal aliens, just here in Biden's watch. | ||
| I'm not even saying talking about the 30 or 40, because people say, Steve, it's really 30 or 40. I go, yo, dude, I got it. | ||
| But if he can't take care of the 10 that came in absolutely in an invasion in the last four years, then you're never going to take care of, you're never going to sort out the rest. | ||
| So let's just focus on that. | ||
| And you've seen this huge fight. | ||
| You know, Senator Schmidt was just talking about it. | ||
| The Supreme Court comes out. | ||
| The Supreme Court comes out and says President Trump can deport the bad ombres and send them to different countries, and it's 100%, not a question. | ||
| You've got judges define the Supreme Court up in Massachusetts. | ||
| So this is a war to the knife on so many fronts. | ||
| And that's what we try to do here in the war room. | ||
| Yesterday in New York City was a tectonic plate shift. | ||
| It was an explosion of something we've been following a lot. | ||
| We haven't had a chance to cover it a lot. | ||
| We've been following this campaign because it's quite extraordinary. | ||
| And one of the reasons we didn't want to cover too much, we wanted to give it too much air until we see how it played out. | ||
| Although we were pretty solid in thinking that this young man could actually put it off because Cuomo looked like he was not engaged all the time. | ||
| Alex deGrasse joins me. | ||
| Alex, the candidate that won yesterday is the merger of the red-green. | ||
| And people have to take this very, very seriously. | ||
| This is the red-green merger, this kind of neo-Marxism coupled with jihadist strong beliefs. | ||
| And they've kind of merged together because they hate the Judeo-Christian West so much, although they don't have the same belief system internally for each other. | ||
| What they want to do is take down the system and defeat the Judeo-Christian West, and then they'll divide up the carcass later. | ||
| And if people think this is, and I've talked about this so many times on the show, we brought so many experts on here. | ||
| It's one of the things Laura Loomer has been focused on. | ||
| We've had so many experts over the years. | ||
| Back in Breitbart, we started this over a decade ago, back in 2010 and 11 with Andrew, and then after I took over in 12, this was a huge emphasis of ours. | ||
| We started, launched Breitbart Jerusalem because of this. | ||
| One of the reasons we have Harnwell in Rome is to make sure we cover all this. | ||
| Raheem Qassam is one of the great experts. | ||
| We had Raheem on this morning. | ||
| In fact, these memes are going around with like the Statue of Liberty, Justin Hajib or Burqa. | ||
| Raheem had the cover of his book, I think, a decade ago. | ||
| He put the book up today, No Go Zones, which is still, if you read it today, you think it's ripped from today's headlines. | ||
| So this is a huge deal. | ||
| Now, on twofold, Alex deGrasse is our expert. | ||
| Alex, first off, I want you to describe who this guy is, but I'm telling people right now that this was one of the most sophisticated election operations I've ever seen as far as understanding how to message, of understanding how to present your message, of understanding where to be. | ||
| This young man and the team around him are as sophisticated. | ||
| And I say I've seen a couple of great social media campaigns win, basically in order Trump in 16 when we really had nothing. | ||
| Salvini, I think Salvini in 17 and 18, and then Bolsonaro. | ||
| All three of those won with the use of social media with very little money and very little understanding. | ||
| But Trump, Salvini in Italy, and then Bolsonaro in Brazil. | ||
| This one, I'll be brutally frank, folks, this was next level. | ||
| This was like the sophistication of Obama back in the primary against Hillary Clinton after he had met with the Facebook guys in Zuckerberg. | ||
| And, you know, they kind of made that deal later to let the oligarchs be oligarchs, but they got him on social media. | ||
| Hillary Clinton ran an old-fashioned campaign and eventually got smoked. | ||
| This reminded me of the book, The Last Hurrah, right? | ||
| And John Ford made a film of which I think it was Curly in Boston, but Frank Skeffington was the character. | ||
| He ran for, I think, the fifth or sixth time in the late 1950s in Boston against some Republican who I guess, or some guy who was going to go to PTA meetings and school boards, and they were mocking this guy. | ||
| He's like, what the hell is he no? | ||
| Boom. | ||
| They got blown out. | ||
| Cuomo got blown out, Alex. | ||
| This is your territory. | ||
| Give us your assessment, sir. | ||
| So I think it's really interesting, twofold. | ||
| He deserves a ton of credit. | ||
| We've been following his campaign, certainly team Elise, as we plot and do a deep dive on Elise's possible path to victory if she were to run for governor and his campaign. | ||
| I mean, go to the website. | ||
| I would tell the posse, go see what these people are capable of, the slick branding, the sort of, I mean, it looks like it's like a, I don't even know, like a flashing movie, right? | ||
| And it's very professionally marketed. | ||
| And, you know, what he's selling is insane, of course, on the issues. | ||
| He's a total, he's a total, exactly, the intersection of jihadism, jihadism, as well as this green, you know, communism, just the whole thing merged. | ||
| It's fascinating to think about. | ||
| But the reality is they are coming. | ||
| To low-information voters, they don't know that. | ||
| They don't know what is jihad. | ||
| They don't know neo-Marxism. | ||
| To low-information voters, and he had a massive turnout, correct me if I'm wrong, among young people. | ||
| It shocked people. | ||
| And Cuomo's was Frank Skeffington's campaign, The Last Iraq. | ||
| He did the most traditional stuff, Upper East Side, Upper West Side, go to the power brokers, go on the right shows, get set. | ||
| He got trapped all the time in these debates. | ||
| He got trapped big time in the debates. | ||
| He ran a very traditional New York City Democratic primary power. | ||
| And he got smoked by a kid that totally, I think in New York City at least, and I think throughout the rest of the country for disruptors, kind of redefine how you actually run a campaign when you don't raise a ton of money. | ||
| Is that correct, Alex? | ||
| Yeah, I agree. | ||
| I mean, he copied President Trump. | ||
| And I was going to get, you know, I mean, they did what the war room talked about. | ||
| I mean, they went and registered a ton of new voters. | ||
| Not just that they registered tens and, I mean, tens and tens of thousands of Democrats that they then turned out to vote. | ||
| Something I've always talked about on the show that President Trump and his campaign excel at is, you know, bringing in those new voters. | ||
| New voters vote at a much higher rate than, you know, just sort of already registered voters, right? | ||
| So they bring people in. | ||
| They're changing, they change the target matrix, just like President Trump did. | ||
| He had low propensity voters, like you can't imagine, coming out for him in massive numbers and coming out early. | ||
| Now, we saw those early vote numbers and we understood this thing was, you know, this bake was, the cake was baked. | ||
| And we've been telling everyone, you know, you know, all the money guys, everyone hitting us up. | ||
| Hey, what do you think? | ||
| I'm like, I would save your money and not spend it on Cuomo because some of these Democrats, you know, finance guys, because they're scared, Steve. | ||
| I mean, the taxes, this, that, and everything else. | ||
| But they brought the new voters in. | ||
| They registered new voters. | ||
| They turned out low propensity voters. | ||
| They did all the fundamentals. | ||
| They had 50,000 people out knocking on doors. | ||
| All I would hear from my friends in New York City, you know, I'm a New Yorker. | ||
| Haze Ground Game is everywhere. | ||
| I mean, I was in the city a couple of times. | ||
| We see these people literally everywhere. | ||
| See, they've got an army. | ||
| You don't build an army like this and then send them home. | ||
| Someone said that to me, a very smart, you know, Democrat operative said, and who's not on the side of these communists, which what they are. | ||
| They're not socialists. | ||
| They are full-throated, Marxist, communist. | ||
| One of his major platforms is seizing grocery stores and turning them into government-run stores out of the Soviet Union. | ||
| I mean, this stuff is insane. | ||
| And no one's ever said this type of stuff before, really, at least in our country. | ||
| And I think he's a big wake-up call for people, I think, in general. | ||
| But you don't build an army like this, which he built, and then send these people home. | ||
| They're going to take this all over the country. | ||
| They only asked him softball questions. | ||
| They haven't gotten to the jihad and everything like that. | ||
| But because I talked to some professional people who totally missed it, but then there are a couple of people I know who had been involved in politics and they're brilliant. | ||
| And one of them kept saying, the media is missing this, but this is a modern version or newer version of AOC versus, was it Joe Crowley, Joe Crowley in that primary? | ||
| They go, this guy is everywhere. | ||
| And Cuomo is not showing up like Joe Crowley blew off AOC. | ||
| Next thing you know, you've got AOC and she's a national figure. | ||
| This guy's already become a national figure in the Democratic Party overnight, kind of as he should be. | ||
| But I tell people, you got to be very careful in thinking this through because this is a smart, don't think you're going to just go on some sloganeering and blow this guy out. | ||
| You got to be very, if you're going to defeat him, and to me, he's got to be defeated. | ||
| I mean, New York City is already in bad shape. | ||
| What he's promising and the upbeat promises are going to drive the corporations, going to drive the tax base out of New York. | ||
| Is that too far off base, Alex? | ||
| No, I mean, people are already talking about, you know, the real estate, everyone's joking in Palm Beach and Miami. | ||
| Certainly the governor of New York has a lot of influence and power over the mayor. | ||
| So a lot of people are talking to that. | ||
| Certainly our phones have been ringing off the hook from Democrats, Republicans, Independents, money guys all over the place, kind of gaming this out, wondering what's going on. | ||
| No, I mean, this guy, look, Cuomo is very flawed and it was sort of a pipe dream. | ||
| And that's what's crazy about these Democrats, right? | ||
| With Kamala, with Biden. | ||
| It's like they're so out of touch, the elites, you know, just, I mean, they had like $40 million. | ||
| And this is insane. | ||
| He lit it on fire. | ||
| He ran a horrible campaign. | ||
| He's in union halls. | ||
| It's sort of out of like 10, 15 years ago, Steve. | ||
| And he's just not even out with people. | ||
| I mean, I saw a video with Mamdani. | ||
| One of Cuomo's paid canvassers is dancing saying he's voting for Mom Dami, wearing a Cuomo canvas shirt. | ||
| And he's with Mom Dami, and they're dancing. | ||
| You know, so they had this thing totally, sort ofly locked up. | ||
| And Cuomo, I mean, he's got massive issues. | ||
| That was sort of a pipe dream, I think, for the media that sort of can't accept the fact that the Democrat Party is going in this direction of full-blown jihadist. | ||
| Here's the thing. | ||
| Democrats play nice DJs. | ||
| Hang on. | ||
| I want to get into all that, but I got to take a short commercial break. | ||
| Alex deGrasse is with us. | ||
| Monumental upset in New York City. | ||
| It has national implication, maybe even internationally, as the world came to visit in this primary. | ||
| Short break. | ||
|

|
Here's your host, Stephen K. Man. | |
| Okay, deGrasse is with us. | ||
| Folks, this is one that's going to take up a lot of mind share. | ||
| One, I think the Democrats feel they've got a, on one hand, the younger Democrats feel they got a, not just a message, because it's all about affordability. | ||
| This guy did own the affordability issue, and Republicans have got to focus on this, particularly for young folks. | ||
| We said for a while, folks can't own homes. | ||
| The rate of people getting married is later, family formations. | ||
| The reason is people just don't have good jobs. | ||
| 25% of Harvard's graduating class do not have jobs right now. | ||
| And I'm not saying they're great, but hey, that's kind of a benchmark, right? | ||
| You come to Ivy Legal School like Harvard, you think you get your ticket punch, you should get a job. | ||
| 25% unemployment. | ||
| Alex, the details of why this should be a wake-up call for Republicans, not just to dismiss this, saying, oh, it's just Democrats in New York. | ||
| You got a bunch of crazy progressives. | ||
| The warning signs that I say this is like a DEF CON too of people should pay attention. | ||
| First off, if you don't like the Nancy Pelosi's and Chuck Schumers, I think they're being showed that even Hakeem Jeffries, if they don't show them the door, they're essentially in the Joe Crowley Cuomo class that these young people in the Democratic Party that are far, far left are dismissing their elders right now, sir. | ||
| Yeah, I think if you're an establishment Democrat across the country, you should be very worried because it's very clear that the heart and pulse of the Democratic Party is sort of into the far left. | ||
| That's where the energy is. | ||
| That's where the momentum is. | ||
| That's where the support is pretty overwhelmingly. | ||
| Because it's not just Mamdani, but when you add up the rest of these fools that were running, you know, some of these guys that got five, you know, Lander, these random people, you know, they're at 10%. | ||
| You know, you equal out Cuomo. | ||
| I mean, it's like only one-third, Steve. | ||
| So when only one-third is even voting, and Cuomo is far left as far as I'm aware of, he did bail reform. | ||
| He did this, that. | ||
| You know, he's the reason why New York is in the gutter. | ||
| So, you know, they are shifting rapidly left. | ||
| And so the stakes are high because I think you're going to see a lot of these candidates running in races. | ||
| And I think it's important that people really look into who they are, who they're tied to. | ||
| Mom Dami's staff, Steve, has ties to the terrorist organizations. | ||
| The New York Post had that. | ||
| You know, former members of the DSA, all these people. | ||
| I mean, there really is, and the war room has been at the forefront of talking about the converging jihadist, really Marxist, communist, green kind of energy type people, crazies, all climate change cult converging. | ||
| And you've got this guy, and he ran out. | ||
| He owned the Republican narratives, affordability, right? | ||
| Costs of living, jobs, housing crisis, everything else. | ||
| He's selling crazy prescription, but it spread like wildfire. | ||
| And the big thing, Steve, is you're looking at the CCP. | ||
| They've got massive influence in New York City. | ||
| I mean, we've talked about it on the show, the infiltration of the local New York City Democrat Party, Kathy Hochul's office. | ||
| You've seen that repeatedly with those. | ||
| What I'm hearing from folks, what we're seeing online, what some sort of analysts are looking at is sort of how bots and other people have tried to juiced him with the algorithm. | ||
| And it's really concerning, I think, looking at some of the people tied to his campaign, have direct ties into communist sort of exterior, those kind of groups that are, you know, sort of an extension of the CCP. | ||
| So I think more of this is going to come as he now becomes a target on the national stage. | ||
| You know, the Cuomo, they just didn't have a handle on it. | ||
| And, you know, Democrats, they struggle to try to fight each other because they've got to be peaceful. | ||
| I got to ask a question. | ||
| What shocked me, did Cuomo have an OPO department at all? | ||
| I mean, this guy really got through. | ||
| Obviously, the media is going to treat him like the second coming. | ||
| It was nothing but softball questions. | ||
| This guy's so happy. | ||
| He's so upbeat. | ||
| You know, it's just happy-clappy the whole time. | ||
| Cuomo, who used to be a pretty tough ombre, never laid a glove on this guy. | ||
| Did Cuomo even have an OPO group doing opposition research for this guy? | ||
| Because this young man is quite dicey and very questionable, sir. | ||
| Yeah, so I've heard from a bunch of very well-sourced liberal journalists who have been really chatty this morning and checking in with us. | ||
| And they've made clear that they've heard from those around Cuomo that there was no APPA book, there was no operation. | ||
| Of course, they were hitting him on the anti-Semitism issue and some of those bread and butter stuff, but they really weren't looking into this guy's past. | ||
| I mean, he just moved to this country seven years ago. | ||
| I think he had a wedding in UAE, hundreds of thousands of dollars. | ||
| His parents are tied in with all these radical groups. | ||
| I mean, this guy's stone cold, Steve. | ||
| I mean, this is really, you know, something out of a book in many regards. | ||
| And no, I think that they didn't do anything. | ||
| I think now the country is sort of looking at this. | ||
| I know people on the right, people on the left, people all over the place, kind of what is going on, scratching their heads. | ||
| And it's alarming. | ||
| New York City's got, what, 1.3 million Jewish people, I think. | ||
| A ton of young Jewish people came out and voted for this guy. | ||
| I mean, that's right. | ||
| It's amazing. | ||
| And Gaza was a big part of this. | ||
| I mean, if all the issues that have come up on Columbia and all the arrests down at Washington Square Park, how big this has been, this kind of Intifada supporting revolt by the worst elements, right? | ||
| It's shocking that they use that to their advantage. | ||
| That's why I'm saying it better be a wake-up call for people because 26 is going to come. | ||
| This thing's going to be in November. | ||
| Next thing you know, you're going to be in 26. People, we've got to deconstruct. | ||
| Now, you can strip the bark off this guy, which I'm sure whoever eventually is, if it's Cuomo or Adams or Curtis Soa, I think, is a great guy, but he's a novelty candidate. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It can't be him at the end of the day. | |
| Somebody's going to do the OPPO and just hold him accountable. | ||
| But there are lessons here for the Republican Party. | ||
| Like you said, they took a little of the populist issues. | ||
| Of course, he's got these bizarre communist, socialist solutions, but they knew that people want people that are going to fight. | ||
| They want people that are engaged. | ||
| They want people that are there to disrupt. | ||
| They're tired of the way it is. | ||
| This is kind of the rent's too damn high. | ||
| And my job doesn't pay anything. | ||
| I don't have any health care, et cetera. | ||
| Alex deGrasse, what are the big lessons you take away as a strategist? | ||
| Yeah, no, I think the social media was huge. | ||
| I think obviously he sort of seized the moment, was everywhere, you know, using, I think the key is that he is leading a movement. | ||
| This is not a campaign, just like President Trump leads a movement that we're all proudly part of. | ||
| And you've got now it's sort of the next level here. | ||
| See, we've got two movements and there's going to be a collision. | ||
| Of course, you've got President Trump out here bashing him as a communist psychopath or whatever you said. | ||
| But the reality is that communist psychopath has hundreds of thousands of followers now that are mobilizing and they're ready for a throwdown and so are we. | ||
| And so this is going to develop. | ||
| So I look forward to continuing as we track this, Steve, because I think this is going to be nationwide. | ||
| That's my take. | ||
| This is coming cities nationwide. | ||
| The unwritten story was the same thing. | ||
| DSA candidates, working family socialist candidates won in Albany, Buffalo, maybe Yonkers. | ||
| I'm trying to remember. | ||
| So all across New York State, people of this ilk, not as far out there as him, won in all these Democrat primaries. | ||
| And I think that's going to be a big trend. | ||
| And we've got to gear up because if they're going to bring this new coalition, we've got to be ready for a fight, of course, the ballot box. | ||
| You've got to be ready for a fight. | ||
| And think about it, Alex. | ||
| Almost 25 years from 9-11, and he's a radical jihadist. | ||
| His parents, his father, first off, his branch, as Raheem went through today, the Twelvers, are one of the most radical branches of all. | ||
| And his father is certainly a radical, and he was his formation as a young man was through this. | ||
| So, and it's entering a big portion of young Jewish, progressive Jewish people voted for him. | ||
| Also, you dropped another bombshell of me in the break. | ||
| Are you saying he actually from some of the Orthodox neighborhoods? | ||
| And the Orthodox, as folks know, have been the backbone in these Jewish communities of the Trump MAGA vote. | ||
| Are you saying actually in some Orthodox neighborhoods actually voted for this guy? | ||
| He pulled out some votes there, of course, which people were surprised about. | ||
| And from the feedback we're hearing from those communities is that Cuomo just really had no get out the vote operation. | ||
| And his people showed up and were there. | ||
| They were working the doors. | ||
| They were talking with folks. | ||
| They were in the grassroots. | ||
| They were organizing. | ||
| And hey, when you put that work in, you get votes. | ||
| That's what we've been saying on the show, Steve, right? | ||
| They got it. | ||
| Sir, where do people go for your social media? | ||
| I know you're all over this one. | ||
| The Grass81. | ||
| I'm on X, Truth Getter, all of it. | ||
| Thank you, Steve. | ||
| I think people really got it. | ||
| Go to his website, take a look at the marketing, read into his bio. | ||
| I'm sure Raheem hit it on the head. | ||
| Really alarming stuff, of course. | ||
| But the reality, just quickly, is the National Democrats who are calling him a star, well, then honestly, they are going to own these crazy policies, and this is going to be a big issue for them politically. | ||
| So that's the other thing here. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Thank you, Steve. | ||
| They're saying, oh, he's a star. | ||
| They're right now. | ||
| I'm telling you, their half-life of those guys is shorter than the Republicans. | ||
| This is going to be a MAGA populist, you know, right-wing throwdown in this coming November. | ||
| You can see, I think it's going to be quite surprising. | ||
| He can definitely be beaten. | ||
| There's no doubt about that. | ||
| But you've got to get, you better be very focused. | ||
| Do not think this kid's a pushover. | ||
| All those people that dismissed Obama early on when you saw what he was doing as a, and remember he ran as an anti-war populist against the Clinton mafia, don't dismiss this. | ||
| And this is actually more dangerous, I think. | ||
| Neo-Marxism and the Red-Green Alliance, neo-Marxism and radical jihad, particularly in the financial capital of the world. | ||
| Alex, thank you. | ||
| One more time. | ||
| Where do people go, sir? | ||
| Went to Grass81 on X and At the Grass on Truth Getter. | ||
| Thanks, Steve. | ||
| Thanks to the war. | ||
| Thank you, sir. | ||
| Today, I know, you know, we finished the show. | ||
| Today was a little, this morning was a little, not convoluted, because we had the president's press conference, his remarks in his press conference. | ||
| It was supposed to start at 9. So I kind of figured, hey, if they start on time, it'll roll right into the show. | ||
| It'll be perfect. | ||
| Of course, they started at 10 and went to 10. It was magnificent. | ||
| I could have played that over and over again to run the sprockets off it, as we say here. | ||
| He's calling on Caitlin Collins. | ||
| He called on the hardest, toughest people. | ||
| I think he called on the woman who actually broke show. | ||
| He says, hey, there's another beauty. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And just call on the toughest people to ask the toughest questions. | ||
| But he was fantastic. | ||
| But one of the points I wanted to get to was this explosive story in the Washington Post about Net Yahoo and his government. | ||
| And I know it's caused quite a stir in Jerusalem, quite a stir in Tel Aviv. | ||
| It's an explosive story. | ||
| Grace, if you get it back into the chats, I need everybody to read it because over there, they're very nervous about it because it exposes, you know, they're supposed to be an ally and supposed to be a working with the United States. | ||
| It's quite evident. | ||
| And I say this Newsweek talked to me a little while ago. | ||
| I don't know if it's in the headline, but they're a protectorate, not an ally. | ||
| We don't have an alliance with them, first off. | ||
| So technically, they're not an ally. | ||
| It's just like people call Ukraine an ally. | ||
| Ukraine's not an ally. | ||
| Israel's not an ally. | ||
| We have a special relationship. | ||
| That special relationship, we're really a protectorate. | ||
| And they played that to the heel. | ||
| And I think, you know, it's time for a rethinking and a reset of that. | ||
| We can never again get drawn in. | ||
| President Trump was as adamant as I've ever seen him in The Hague. | ||
| The 12-day war is over. | ||
| The nuclear capability of Iran, of the Persian, has been totally obliterated. | ||
| In case you didn't understand that, I think he sent out another true social after that. | ||
| I understand now there's going to be an 8 a.m. | ||
| press conference with Pete Hegseth and others, maybe even some of the pilots, tomorrow morning at the Pentagon. | ||
| Clearly, Real America's voice will cover that. | ||
| I'm going to work with my staff. | ||
| We're going to figure this out. | ||
| I may even be, we'll start live a little early, at least for some commentary and observations after that happens. | ||
| Maybe you should get Posho to focus too, because it's very important. | ||
| And President Trump's worked on this. | ||
| But the most important thing is saying, hey, this war is over, right? | ||
| 12-day war, boom. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| We're not getting dragged into it. | ||
| We're not going to get, we did our duty. | ||
| We did it. | ||
| We shut it down. | ||
| It's total obliteration. | ||
| We're moving on. | ||
| I realize for the Tel Aviv Levins and all the town criers over at Fox News and the Murdochs and everybody that wants us to get sucked in and the arms industry sucked into another war. | ||
| President Trump's got enough on his plate. | ||
| The mass deportations, he's got this. | ||
| He's going to have to come back and still negotiate, still negotiate big aspects of the big, beautiful bill. | ||
| Then he's going to act as whip. | ||
| He's got to whip the House. | ||
| He's going to have to whip the Senate. | ||
| He's got to do it. | ||
| He's going to have to make the deal and then close the deal. | ||
| And didn't even talk, I mean, doesn't even mention about Ukraine, everything that's going on in Ukraine. | ||
| He admitted Ukraine's a hard one. | ||
| Why? | ||
| You know, the Russians are kind of on the move. | ||
| The Ukraine's a holding out. | ||
| Nobody's ever questioned their valor. | ||
| President Trump, you can see how he's touched today, saying 7,000 dead. | ||
| So for all of those that support Israel and really support Israel, right? | ||
| Support Israel, not just any political group over there or government, it's time now really to pay attention. | ||
| Really pay attention. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| Back in a moment. | ||

Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann. | |
| Okay, Birch Gold. | ||
| Turbulence. | ||
| We're in a fourth turning now. | ||
| You can tell that. | ||
| And it's accelerating at an accelerating rate. | ||
| Look at what's happening in New York City. | ||
| And we're going to spend a lot more time on that because obviously the financial capital of the world, also, it drives a big part of American politics. | ||
| The media is right there. | ||
| This is going to be a big one. | ||
| And we're going to get all over it. | ||
| I know already in the engine room, there's some conflicting ideas and opinions about how this thing's going to play out. | ||
| That's great. | ||
| We're going to work through it all. | ||
| Birchgold.com, into the dollar empire. | ||
| Philip Patriot team are all going down to the Rio Reset. | ||
| I think Putin said that there was something today that Putin may not go because the arrest warrants from the ICC, not that they would arrest him in Brazil. | ||
| I think it's kind of nonsense. | ||
| We'll have to figure it out. | ||
| I'm not too sure the senior guy is going to go. | ||
| Their finance ministers are already talking about the situation with the Chinese and the Chinese trying to come up with alternative currencies. | ||
| I don't know if it's going to have some sort of gold certificate backing, but we're going to play it up. | ||
| But what you need to do is understand the debt ceiling, debt, deficits, all of it, and the centrality of the U.S. dollar being the prime reserve currency in your life. | ||
| Remember, we told you two things, the 10-year treasury. | ||
| You ought to be checking that every day. | ||

| People know and they love Patriot Mobile. | ||
| They love what Glenn Story does. | ||
| You guys have helped save Texas. | ||
| You're doing extraordinary work. | ||
| People are tired of giving their money to these phone companies, mobile services that hate them and hate their values. | ||
| They understand that. | ||
| The questions are, if I switch here, is my phone going to work? | ||
| I mean, Patriot Mobile is not the size of some of these Goliaths. | ||
| So does the service work? | ||
| Is it going to work? | ||
| And what else you got? | ||
| Can you help us out here, ma'am? | ||
| Absolutely, Steve. | ||
| Those are great questions that I get asked every day. | ||
| And yes, your phone is going to work on Patriot Mobile because we run on the exact same networks. | ||
| We have the same 4G, 5G networks across this entire country. | ||

| So really appreciate them. | ||
| Quite a day. | ||
| President Trump at NATO. | ||
| The reason we did, and we didn't have enough time, and I will, tomorrow we're going to cover actually, I think it'll be on our other platforms, right? | ||
| We have many channels here on Getter and on Rumble to put things up. | ||
| And we're going to stream tomorrow. | ||
| The Koreans are going to do a live press conference from the National Press Club. | ||
| They're going to talk a lot. | ||
| They're going to talk about the election. | ||
| They have some issues with the election. | ||
| They are going to talk about this new party. | ||
| Remember, they didn't show up at NATO. | ||
| Not that Japan and Korea showing up is vitally important, but it's very important because although they're not members, they're talking about what's going on with the Chinese Communist Party in the South China Sea and also their defense budget, getting their defense budget back up to speed. | ||
| As I've said, the CCP kind of controls the party that won the last election, and so they showed no limited interest in coming. | ||
| The 75th anniversary, I think we're the only show that did anything at all. | ||
| We opened the show about this because it's kind of called the unknown war, and it shouldn't be. | ||
| It was absolutely brutal. | ||
| And the heroism of the American Marines and the U.S. Army is just incredible. | ||
| Of course, the Navy at that time was just the Air Force was starting to be broken off from the Army, the old Army Air Corps. | ||
| Just incredible. | ||
| And we still have 25,000 troops in South Korea, just like I think we have, I don't know, 25 or 30,000 in Germany, but throughout the world, I believe the number now is about 145 to 150,000. | ||
| And I'm not sure that totally counts all the carrier battle groups, like the two that, the two or three that are still in the North Arabian Sea for this 12-day war, which is over. | ||
| As President Trump has told us, he was victorious. | ||
| The elements he brought in to close it down were magnificent. | ||
| There'll be a press conference at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. | ||
| We will cover it. | ||
| Real America's Voice. | ||
| I think you'll get some war room participation also. | ||
| Pete Heck says, Mike Lindell, we finish our 5 o'clock show when we can with you. | ||
| Korea had an election that blew their heads up. | ||
