Elon Mudge. | |
| What happened to Elon Mudge? | ||
| Nothing. | ||
| You know, he's upset that he's losing his E V mandate, didn't except he's very upset about things, but you know, he can lose a lot more than that, I can tell you right now. | ||
| Hey, Elon, Elon can lose a lot more than that. | ||
| We got your back! | ||
| And remember that the show is going to be bigger and better than ever. | ||
| We got all kinds of co-hosts. | ||
| Nothing's going to change. | ||
| It's going to be incredible, right? | ||
| Next man up, right? | ||
| Next man up. | ||
| It doesn't matter that I'm going to prison. | ||
| If it took me going to prison, come here. | ||
| If it took me going to prison to get the House of Representatives to reject J6 and now to actually start an investigation, to start an investigation, it's a victory, right? | ||
| That is a victory, and that's what we have to do, Steve. | ||
| We have to move the Republicans and the House of Representatives to act and actually do the job that the people voted for them and sent them to Congress do. | ||
| People didn't vote for Republicans to go to Congress and do nothing. | ||
| They voted for Republicans to do their job. | ||
| And sitting around and saying, oh, we're going to wait. | ||
| We're just going to wait. | ||
| That is not good enough. | ||
| And they're going to hear from people all over the country. | ||
| This is multiplying the war room posse by 10,000 Steve. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| Look, this is a Democrat. | ||
| Hopefully 10,000%. | ||
| But look, this is a Democrat district. | ||
| Where's the Democrat? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Where are they? | |
| They're nowhere. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Look, folks, if it took me going to prison, girls, remember the reason I chose Danbury, I asked for Danbury for a very specific reason. | ||
| Back in 19, the only other person that's ever been sent to prison for a congressional subpoena, not going to a House subpoena for contempt, held in contempt, was Rig Lardner Jr. | ||
| Back in the 1940s during the House Un-American Activity Investigation. | ||
| Columbia Studio fired him, okay, because of his political beliefs. | ||
| And then he was found guilty. | ||
| They sent it to the DOJ. | ||
| He was sent to prison. | ||
| He was sent to this prison. | ||
| That's why I requested Danbury, because there's no difference in his fight than in our fight. | ||
| I'm a political prisoner of Nancy Pelosi. | ||
| I'm a political prisoner of Merrick Garland. | ||
| I'm a political prisoner. | ||
| I'm a political prisoner of Joe Biden and the corrupt Biden establishment. | ||
| And you saw on Thursday all the lies that they told, right? | ||
| All the lies they told. | ||
| Any group, any group that would sit there and lie to you about the shape of the president of the United States with a national security element of that, lied about the 2020 election. | ||
| They've lied about COVID. | ||
| They've lied about everything that they've done to the American people, and they're not going to stop. | ||
| Until we stop them, they're not going to stop. | ||
| And the way you stop them is you do things that says, hey, if they're going to send me to prison, it's not going to matter if we take this fight and take it up the next level, okay? | ||
| The rest. | ||
| We've got a lot of hostages back, but we're going to have to talk about that. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I mean, we'll have to take a look. | ||
| We might have to put Joe on Elon. | ||
| You know what Joe is? | ||
| Joe is the monster that might have to go back and meet Elon. | ||
| We're going to have to terror. | ||
| It's a lot of substance, Peter. | ||
| But Elon's very upset that the EV mandate is going to be terminated. | ||
| And you know what? | ||
| When you look at it, who wants, not everybody wants an electric car. | ||
| I don't want an electric car. | ||
| I want to have maybe gasoline, maybe electric, maybe a hybrid. | ||
| Maybe someday a high-dunction. | ||
| If you have a high-dusion car, it has one problem. | ||
| It blows up, you know? | ||
| So I'm going to give that one to Peter. | ||
| I'm going to let Peter touch it up. | ||
| Just released moments ago the episode titled Steve Bannon's Battle for the Soul of MAGA. | ||
| In it, Bannon talks to Jeremy about what he says are the three pillars of the Make America Great Again movement, free trade, immigration, and military intervention. | ||
| Always outspoken, fair to say, Steve Bannon, but particularly now talking about Elon Musk and some of his frustrations with the president and his relationships with people that Bannon and his allies view as oligarchs. | ||
| They're sort of the enemy of their movement. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I think Bannon calls them the broligarchs. | ||
| But the question that people like Steve Bannon have been raising about the direction of the MAGA agenda is who is this for? | ||
| Right? | ||
| Is it for the Trump voters who put him there? | ||
| Or is it from Elon Musk, who also kind of put Trump there in bankrolling this large outside political operation? | ||
| Right now, Trump has spent a lot of time listening to the people who have the money, the access, the influence to get a seat in the Roosevelt room with him. | ||
| What I think a lot of people in the populist right are concerned about is just how much Trump is willing to give away to appease interests like Elon Musk, interests like big donors, interests like big agriculture, like big restaurants, hospitality. | ||
| Because we know they've been lobbying Trump to dial back on some of his provisions that are most important to the megabase, like the deportations. | ||
| Industries got in Trump's ear and tried to convince him to roll back deportations. | ||
| They got in his ear and they convinced him that it would be a good idea to bomb Iran. | ||
| These things all kind of lead to a slippery slope where folks like Bannon are concerned that this starts to look like just another traditional Republican presidency after a while. | ||
| I mean, if they pass a bill like this that cuts taxes as deeply as it has, as it likely will for the wealthy at the expense of programs that benefit MAGA voters like Medicaid, I mean, Bannon has said, MAGA's on Medicaid, right? | ||
| I mean, the voters are ultimately Going to pay a price for a lot of what's in this bill. | ||
| So it doesn't really, in a lot of ways, fulfill this promise that Trump has made: that I am your voice, I am here standing up for you. | ||
| I do want to thank Senator Cruz for the work and the time that he put in trying to find a resolution to this issue. | ||
| I do appreciate that. | ||
| But what we know is this. | ||
| This body has proven that they cannot legislate on emerging technology. | ||
| It is frustrating. | ||
| We have not passed online privacy. | ||
| We have not passed the No Fakes Act, the CopydAct. | ||
| There are all of these pieces of legislation dealing with AI that we haven't passed, but you know who has passed it? | ||
| It is our state. | ||
| They're the ones that are protecting children in the virtual space. | ||
| They're the ones that are out here protecting our entertainers, name, image, likeness of broadcasters, podcasters, authors. | ||
| And it is appropriate that we approach this issue with the seriousness that it deserves. | ||
| And we have not reached a resolution on this. | ||
| So therefore, I ask my colleagues to join me in striking Section 40012. | ||
| Vote yes. | ||
| Let's pass this bill. | ||
| Let's get everybody off to July 4th and a half. | ||
| This is the final scream of a dying regime. | ||
| Pray for our enemies. | ||
| Because we're going medieval on this people. | ||
| Everyone's not got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people. | ||
| The people have had a belly full of it. | ||
| I know you don't like hearing that. | ||
| I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
| It's going to happen. | ||
| And where do people like that go to share the big lie? | ||
| 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. | ||

Here's your host, Stephen K. Band. | |
| Band. | ||
| It's Tuesday, 1 July at Year of Alert 2025. | ||
| We are jammed this morning. | ||
| We're going to start with the great Congressman Marjorie Taylor Greene. | ||
| Senator Blackburn yesterday in Tennessee heroically went to the Senate floor to fight this no-compromise on artificial intelligence and the Burleigh Arcs. | ||
| MTG been fighting this fight for weeks, actually told the president, who you totally support, that, hey, as much as I love you, as much as I support you, I cannot vote for the Big Beautiful Bill if it's got this in it. | ||
| Folks, last night with Mike Davis and the team, incredible, 99 to 1 against. | ||
| It's stripped out. | ||
| MTG, it also shows you how the Borligarchs have been lying to President Trump. | ||
| They told him, I think at 10 o'clock, 11 o'clock last night, we only had three votes. | ||
| Your thoughts, and by the way, we had to play that clip from one year ago today when MTG was breathing fire outside of Danbury prison. | ||
| And you know what, Congressman? | ||
| You could make that same speech today. | ||
| You could make that same speech today, ma'am. | ||
| How you doing? | ||
| Good morning, Steve. | ||
| Yeah, evidently I could give that same speech this morning. | ||
| It's outrageous that that's the case. | ||
| And you would have thought that we would have totally turned a corner from that horrific moment in time. | ||
| And you served four months in prison after that. | ||
| That was the day that we all surrounded you, prayed for you, and sent you off, sadly, to prison. | ||
| You were a political prisoner. | ||
| And God bless you, Steve. | ||
| We're so glad that you were freed. | ||
| And God bless everyone listening to this that we won the election so that we could defeat the war, the real war that is still being waged. | ||
| But we won a big victory in November. | ||
| But the war is not over. | ||
| I just want to thank Marcia Blackburn, Senator Marcia Blackburn. | ||
| She did an incredible job. | ||
| She has not had any sleep yet. | ||
| She stayed up all night long fighting to get the AI moratorium out, and I'm really grateful for her fight. | ||
| I was engaged with her on the phone all day yesterday and in the early morning hours of today on this issue. | ||
| I had told the White House I couldn't vote for it. | ||
| There's no way, because we get to vote again. | ||
| Everybody needs to understand that it comes back to the House and we get to vote again. | ||
| There's no way I can destroy state rights and there's no way I can let AI have free reign and the potential destruction that it could have for 10 years without states being able to protect themselves and the people that live there and their jobs and their children. | ||
| And it was too big of an issue to get me to a yes on. | ||
| And I'm just thrilled. | ||
| And 99 to 1, that does show you that there's some voices in the president's ear that are not telling him the truth. | ||
| And you know who they're serving? | ||
| They're serving these donors, these big, rich donors that have their very special interests in mind that came around during this last election cycle, Steve, because they knew Trump was going to win. | ||
| Trump won with the people. | ||
| He didn't need these donors, and he doesn't need them now. | ||
| And we need to continue to stay focused on this. | ||
| He doesn't need the neocons are all around him pretending to support him. | ||
| He doesn't need the neocons. | ||
| He defeated the neocons. | ||
| He doesn't need the deep state. | ||
| The deep state is surrounding President Trump now, pretending to support him. | ||
| He doesn't need the deep state. | ||
| He has the people. | ||
| And the people, we are going to be victorious, but this is a war that we have to stay embedded in for a very long time. | ||
| And we have to make sure that President Trump gets the correct information and that the people's will and the people's voices are heard. | ||
| And that vote, 99 to 1, is an exact proof that the people are winning. | ||
| Because without the people calling, without all of you listening, all of the war room posse calling into members of the House and Senators' offices every single day, like you have been, this couldn't have happened. | ||
| All of your posts on social media, you can override the paid influencers. | ||
| You can override the bots. | ||
| So you have to stay focused and stay in this fight. | ||
| And this is how we win it. | ||
| But humanity is saved for now. | ||
| But I promise you, Steve, that AI moratorium and maybe worse will come back. | ||
|

|
We just have to watch for it. | |
| Congressman, what is your social media? | ||
| You're now a fire-breathing liberal, a fire-breathing opponent of the Brolegarchs. | ||
| And most importantly, most importantly, you told the president, hey, I love you. | ||
| We support you. | ||
| I'm MAGA. | ||
| But if this is in, it's got to come out. | ||
| And he listened. | ||
| Marsha Blackburn and MTG heroically stood in the breach when everybody else was running and said, this can't happen. | ||
| And that's why we won. | ||
| Where do people go to get your social media, ma'am? | ||
| Well, a couple of things, Steve. | ||
| I am posting up a thread today. | ||
| I've already started it of contents of the bill, the one big beautiful bill, as President Trump calls it. | ||
| And I've already loaded it. | ||
| I've started it. | ||
| I want you to know there's an important post that starts with with over $9 billion. | ||
| Hang on. | ||
| Hang on. | ||
| I want you to stick to a commercial break. | ||
| I want to get to this thread. | ||
| This thread is very important for people today, particularly as this vote goes on the Senate. | ||
| Short break. | ||
| Congressman MTG, Mike Davis, also from the Treasury Department, they're going to come over and walk us through what these numbers really mean about economic growth. | ||
| All next in the War Room. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I got American faith in America's heart. | |
| Okay, right there. | ||
| Welcome back, folks. | ||
| Right there, you see the Senate floor. | ||
| Soon has just announced he thinks he's got the votes to pass the Big Beautiful bill. | ||
| I think all the amendments have stopped. | ||
| They're going to have, I think, a series of votes. | ||
| They've given people a 15-minute heads up to come back for the first of the start of the votes. | ||
| And then I think they'll move fairly rapidly. | ||
| It says he has a deal now. | ||
| We're going to cover this quite closely. | ||
| MTG, go through right now. | ||
| You've got an open thread on Twitter. | ||
| And where do people go for your Twitter account? | ||
| Because I want people to follow along here. | ||
| We're going to put it up on the screen. | ||
| But where do people go to get you on Twitter? | ||
| Rep MTG. | ||
| That's where you can follow the thread. | ||
| And I'll keep adding to it. | ||
| But Steve, I've exposed, this is something that hasn't even been talked about that I know of, is $9.995 billion for going to the moon and moon to Mars missions. | ||
| And you know what I think Americans are saying? | ||
| They walk out in their cities and their towns and they look at their checking account balances and they look at the cost of groceries and they look at the cost of health insurance and they look at the cost of life in America, especially these 20-year-olds, 20 and 30-year-olds are seeing no hope in their future. | ||
| And everyone's asking themselves, we haven't fixed America yet, but taxpayers are supposed to fund $9.995 billion for the moon and Mars. | ||
| And then we have this Elon Musk President Trump feud turning into a war between each other and talks of a third party being created. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| This doesn't fly with me. | ||
| MAGA is the new party, and MAGA is defeating the old establishment and the Republican Party. | ||
| And I think that's incredibly important. | ||
| And I don't know, Steve, if any other member of the House or any senator talked about this over $9 billion, almost $10 billion, going to the moon and Mars. | ||
| But I think I'm the first one that talked about it. | ||
| But I'll keep adding to this thread that everybody can follow. | ||
| So you know, I'm doing my best to get the information out. | ||
| But I think this is where we need to start really having real conversations. | ||
| And again, not funding what these special interest donors that were new, new to President Trump, that all came around towards the end of the election cycle when they knew Joe Biden was done and they knew Kamala Harris couldn't win. | ||
| This is what we're up against now, and it's ridiculous. | ||
| So right now is, as you see it, there's huge differences between what they're passing in the Senate and what you did in the House. | ||
| Are you guys just going to rubber stamp this? | ||
| Johnson's saying he's going to take it right to a vote. | ||
| Do you anticipate that some of the folks in the House are going to want to say so? | ||
| But right now, it's still very confusing about illegal aliens on Medicaid that the parliamentarian may have taken out versus the fact we're taking Medicaid away from American citizens and maybe still paying for illegal aliens. | ||
| Is the House going to rubber stamp this? | ||
| Is it going to be like a 24-hour turnaround, ma'am? | ||
| I cannot imagine. | ||
| No, no, I can't imagine they have the vote. | ||
| There's no way that Johnson has the votes in the House for this. | ||
| So just for clarification, my understanding is currently in the Senate bill that has not passed yet, illegals cannot receive Medicare. | ||
| However, they can receive Medicaid, which is absurd. | ||
| So we know blue states will still continue doling it out, where red states will likely not dole it out. | ||
| I did find clarification because I've been watching it the entire time. | ||
| There is no funding through Medicaid and CHIP to go to child sex change surgeries and hormones and all that garbage, that incredible lie attack on our children. | ||
| So that will not happen. | ||
| However, this bill is nowhere near perfect. | ||
| It's got a lot of stuff in there that just shouldn't be in there. | ||
| And we're $37 trillion in debt. | ||
| It's unbelievable to me that all of this stuff has been packed in. | ||
| And I don't see how currently right now the votes are in the House. | ||
| MTG, one more time. | ||
| Your social media, we want everybody to get on her thread today. | ||
| She's going to be updating it constantly to get an understanding of what's in this bill. | ||
| Where do they go? | ||
| Rep MTG. | ||
| That's my official account on X. I'll continue loading it throughout the day. | ||
| And we're continuing to watch the Senate to learn completely about what the final version of the bill to be. | ||
| We are told that we're supposed to be back Wednesday morning to start voting at 9 a.m. | ||
| I think that is not realistic. | ||
| I just don't see how that's possible. | ||
| So this is, I think it's far from over. | ||
| However, Steve, I do want to reiterate, we've got President Trump's back. | ||
| I've got his back. | ||
| There are incredible things in the tax provisions in this bill that must pass. | ||
| It's non-negotiable. | ||
| Also, the border security and deportations, those things must pass. | ||
| They're non-negotiable. | ||
| And I want to tell everyone clearly that this bill may be the only true victory once we get it right, once we can get it to a good point. | ||
| It may be our only real victory this Congress because there are whispers and the whispers are getting louder and louder in the House that we are being told that they're going to give us another CR on September 30th. | ||
| And if that's the case. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. | |
| What's that whisper about what? | ||
| Yeah, the CR. | ||
| CR. | ||
| So government funding has to be on September 30th. | ||
| Yeah, that's absolutely a non-starter. | ||
| They're just the non-starter. | ||
| And Steve, that should make everyone furious. | ||
| And so this bill, so we have to be realistic. | ||
| There's things in it we have to have. | ||
| I mean, everyone agrees. | ||
| President Trump, many of his campaign promises are in there. | ||
| We have to have them. | ||
| The tax cuts. | ||
| We have to have the child tax credit. | ||
| We have to have the baby savings account. | ||
| We have to have all of these things for businesses to be prosperous. | ||
| The tax part is incredibly important. | ||
| The estate tax has been made permanent at $15 million. | ||
| That helps small business owners and farmers. | ||
| Like, there's so many things in here we have to have. | ||
| Also, the border security funding, the deportation funding. | ||
| I mean, we have to support President Trump and those things, but it's our duty to make sure that we aren't funding special interest port projects, that we aren't funding, you know, freaking Medicaid for illegals. | ||
| That makes virtually no sense whatsoever. | ||
| And anything else we find in there that just shouldn't be spent because we're $37 trillion in debt. | ||
| There's things we have to have, President Trump's campaign promises. | ||
| We have to support the president there, but we don't have to do these other things. | ||
| And it's the responsibility of the Speaker of the House and the leader in the Senate to make sure that we're sticking with the campaign promises. | ||
| And so when you see people like me coming out and arguing these points and fighting against funding and voting for garbage, it's not me going against President Trump. | ||
| It's me going against establishment Republicans that really never supported the president and his agenda in the first place. | ||
| And it's about fighting for the MAGA agenda, just like the people listening to your show and watch your show every day and people beyond that that do not want to continue to see Congress vote for these things and fund these things. | ||
| So this is incredibly important, but it is really a dire situation. | ||
| We're on a time clock that's been really set on us. | ||
| So we have a lot of pressure. | ||
| And then also, given the fact that there's 435 members of Congress and it's hard for us to get to an agreement on anything. | ||
| So this whole thing is, I don't know what to call it. | ||
| It's a shit show. | ||
| And I'm sorry for saying that. | ||
| I know we're not supposed to say that on the air, but that's truly. | ||
| But we've got to make sure that we support President Trump and get the great campaign promises across that he promised to the people and that we all promised. | ||
| I campaigned on those things too. | ||
| Congressman Green, Marjorie Taylor Greene, thank you so much. | ||
| Incredible. | ||
| We'll be looking at your Twitter throughout the day. | ||
| Hopefully maybe get you back this afternoon. | ||
| Thank you, ma'am. | ||
| Thank you, Steve. | ||
| I appreciate it. | ||
| One of President Trump Spears' defenders. | ||
| So Mike Davis, let's hit rewind because I think what MTG told us all is going to be exposed and revealed in this effort yesterday. | ||
| You came on at 10 o'clock yesterday morning on the warm startoff. | ||
| At 10 a.m., where were we with the oligarchs and the artificial intelligence moratorium, sir? | ||
| We were a certain passage of this 10-year AI amnesty for these trillion-dollar big tech monopolists, especially Google and Meta. | ||
| And then the war room posse teamed up with the Article 3 project like we've done so many times in the past, and we gave the Senate another attitude adjustment. | ||
| We did these war room hits, and we had 3,000 activists take over 9,000 actions, emails, phone calls, social media, to both of their home state senators. | ||
| And that's the key is your own home state senator. | ||
| No senator cares about what some constituent to another senator thinks. | ||
| They care about their own constituents. | ||
| And so we targeted constituents to their home state senators. | ||
| Even at late last night, around 1 a.m. last night, the main proponents of this AI amnesty in the Senate thought there would only be three Senate Republicans who would strike this AI amnesty out of the one big, beautiful bill. | ||
| This bill ended up, this motion to strike pushed by U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn from Tennessee, a hero, an all-star on this, who is fighting to protect kids, creators of online content, all content, along with conservatives who have been censored, who have been targeted by big tech for so many years. | ||
| Marcia Blackburn is the hero in the Senate. | ||
| Marjorie Taylor Greene is the hero in the House. | ||
| They thought there were only going to be three Senate Republicans who voted to strike this amnesty. | ||
| It went down 99 to 1, including the main Senate proponent voting against his own AI amnesty. | ||
| Ted Cruz. | ||
| Okay, hang on for one second. | ||
| We're going to take a short break. | ||
| We're going to go, Mike Davis is going to stick with us. | ||
| We're also going to get from the Treasury Department. | ||
| You're going to hear it walk through a financial model that shows that we're actually going to cut deficits and have growth. | ||
| 2.8 to maybe 3% growth of the economy all next in the war room. | ||
|
unidentified
|
War Room. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann. | ||
| Joe Lavorniette from one of the top economists over at the special counsel to the Secretary of Treasury. | ||
| We've had Joe on before. | ||
| He's going to join us in a moment. | ||
| We're going to walk through the math as this very important vote starts because I think there's a lot of confusion in having the chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors on yesterday from the White House, I think, went miles in trying to show people what the real math is here. | ||
| Mike Davis, I just want the Warren Posse to understand this because they moved heaven and earth yesterday with the Article 3 team, Project Team. | ||
| At 10 o'clock in the morning, and we had been talking about this for weeks and weeks and weeks, and MGG had been coming up weeks and weeks and weeks. | ||
| This was in the bill. | ||
| And even late in the evening, Ted Cruz kind of mocked us by saying, well, they've got three votes, but it's a long night ahead, right? | ||
| They thought they had this one. | ||
| Even in the early morning hours, after midnight, they thought they had this one. | ||
| At 4 o'clock in the morning, there was a 99 to 1 vote, which shows you no senator, when exposed, wanted to be near this thing. | ||
| This is the kind of radioactive vote that they don't want attached to their information. | ||
| It is the shift in this from actually being a done deal after weeks and weeks and weeks, that's how powerful the Broligarchs are, to 99 to 1 against, you know, what, 16, 17, 18 hours later. | ||
| Walk us through that, sir. | ||
| Yeah, 10 a.m. | ||
| This was a done deal for the AI oligarchs. | ||
| They thought they were going to get 10 years of amnesty. | ||
| They worked on getting a deal with Marcia Blackburn, who opposed them on this, and she's been a fierce warrior. | ||
| I know she's going to try to come on your show after the vote. | ||
| She's been great on this. | ||
| She was able to work out because they thought this was just inevitable. | ||
| So she was trying to cut her losses. | ||
| And so she went from 10 years to five years. | ||
| And there was some language that purported to protect kids, creators, conservatives from censorship. | ||
| But as we pointed out on the show yesterday, that language was largely hollow. | ||
| And so we went back to Blackburn. | ||
| I worked very closely with Senator Blackburn's chief of staff all day, all afternoon, all evening. | ||
| I'll give Katie Lane a shout out. | ||
| She's one of my good friends. | ||
| Her husband, Bill Lane, used to volunteer for the Article III project as a lawyer. | ||
| Now he's a nominee to be a top Pentagon lawyer. | ||
| I worked very hand in glove with Katie Lane and Grace and the War Room posse and Steve Bannon. | ||
| And we worked with the senior members of the White House, maybe the most senior member of the White House, maybe, just maybe. | ||
| We made sure that the administration didn't get duped by the tech bros and weigh in in favor of this AI amnesty. | ||
| And then that created the opening late last night for Marcia Blackburn to strike. | ||
| And the main proponent of this thing, of this AI amnesty, said they had three Senate Republican votes. | ||
| And as I pointed out last night, I posted the damn is about to break and sure did that damn break. | ||
| It was 99 to 1. | ||
| The main proponent in the Senate voted against his own AI amnesty. | ||
| And so this tells you the power of the war room posse teaming up with the Article III project. | ||
| We pulled the rabbit out of the hat on this. | ||
| And it is a remarkable win for America. | ||
| This is good for kids. | ||
| This is good for creators. | ||
| This is good for conservatives who would have been censored. | ||
| This is Section 230, an antitrust amnesty that we saw over the last 15 years. | ||
| This AI amnesty is that on steroids. | ||
| They would have crushed us and we stopped it. | ||
| And folks, this is about battles going forward. | ||
| It is not, there are no coincidences, folks, that one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse on AI is Elon Musk. | ||
| The Tesla, the company Tesla making cars is imploding. | ||
| He's trying to shift it to an AI company. | ||
| It shouldn't be lost on you. | ||
| His fight against President Trump has nothing to do with that, right? | ||
| Nothing to do with that. | ||
| His immaturity, even talking about how you go about it, it's a huge problem. | ||
| As you know, we've been fighting this thing on War Room. | ||
| His immaturity in doing it shows you it's just he's a clown. | ||
| This is all about he got cut out of EV. | ||
| He got cut out of his subsidies. | ||
| He's also, he understood where President Trump stands and having the back of the American people who are very concerned about AI. | ||
| It may have tremendous benefits. | ||
| It's clearly going to be in every part of life, but the American people want to have a say-so in this, right? | ||
| The little guy says, hey, I think my voice ought to be heard. | ||
| That was what yesterday was. | ||
| And remember, when exposed, every member of the Senate, except Tillis, who's already announced he's not running again, every member voted with us to say, no, we shouldn't do that. | ||
| This was something they had locked at 10 o'clock In the morning. | ||
| It was one of the biggest flips I've ever seen. | ||
| And the reason is they understand how toxic some of these brolegart policies are. | ||
| Mike Davis, great work. | ||
| This is also not a culmination, but you've been warning and fighting about this for years. | ||
| This is what the whole Internet Accountability Project was about, was it not, sir? | ||
| Yeah, our sister group, the Internet Accountability Project. | ||
| Look, we started the first group on the right through the Internet Accountability Project to take on the trillion-dollar big tech monopolists, Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Apple on Section 230, immunity, antitrust amnesty, data privacy, now AI amnesty. | ||
| We were laughed at when we started this thing. | ||
| More than five years ago, I started it with Rachel Bovard. | ||
| Gail Slater at the antitrust division may have had a hand in this. | ||
| She may have been the brains of all this. | ||
| We have been kicking big tech's butt for years. | ||
| We're going to continue to do it every day. | ||
| We made sure that Trump, President Trump, pursued Meta with the FTC case he brought in his first term and took FTC to trial when the Broligarchs were trying to get Trump to dump that case. | ||
| We stopped the Broligarchs from stealing everyone's copyright by installing a puppet as the librarian of Congress and the Registrar of Copyrights. | ||
| We stopped the Trump Justice Department from filing an amicus brief or a brief supporting this outrageous position that stealing everyone's copyright for their AI machines so they can profit is somehow fair use under the copyright laws. | ||
| We just crushed them last night with the come from behind victory 99 to one on this 10-year AI amnesty. | ||
| I would say just this to the tech bros. | ||
| We don't care how many lawyers and lobbyists you hire. | ||
| The Article 3 project and the War Room Posse were lean and mean, and we are going to kick your asses every time. | ||
| Mike Davis, where do people go to find out more about Article 3 and everything we're working on, sir? | ||
| Yeah, so those 3,000 activists from the Article 3 project and War Room Posse who made 9,000 contacts on this AI amnesty, you're the heroes of this. | ||
| And that's where you should go. | ||
| Article3project.org, article number3project.org. | ||
| You can donate only what you can afford. | ||
| We're not grifting. | ||
| Follow us on social media. | ||
| And let's put the pedal to the metal and run them over on this AI amnesty. | ||
| So light up both of your senators on this AI amnesty and make sure they understand we're still watching. | ||
| They're not going to include this in what the Senate calls the wraparounds bill at the end where they add it back into the ends. | ||
| We're going to make damn sure this doesn't get through. | ||
| If you want an AI bill, you need to do it through regular order, 60 votes in the Senate, a majority in the House, present it to the president. | ||
| He signs it. | ||
| You have all the stakeholders involved, but you don't do this AI amnesty through this backroom deal. | ||
| We have a national debate, which is many of these policies, which you have to have a national debate on this, including the dollar being the Prime Reserve Curve, many things, many fundamental issues. | ||
| Mike Davis, great work. | ||
| You're a fighter. | ||
| And I would just say for AOC and Bernie, your oligarchs tour, we're actually taking on the oligarchs. | ||
| You're doing performance art. | ||
| And for Mondami up in New York City, it's more performance art. | ||
| We're actually, inspired by Lena Kahn and so many people, the left and the right have come together to take on the oligarchs. | ||
| We understand it's a threat to the American people, but you've got to work together and you have to work smart and you have to focus on important issues, not AOC and Bernie running around just yammering, oh, the oligarch story. | ||
| They haven't done anything about it. | ||
| They haven't talked about any of these important issues. | ||
| And they're not prepared to do the work. | ||
| This is hard, grinding work. | ||
| That's why Mike Davis and the team at Article III, also the Internet Accounting Project, also over at the FTC, the FCC, Gail Slater. | ||
| This is a grind, but that's the only way you're going to beat the oligarchs is you're going to have to grind them. | ||
| And we're fully on board to grind away, sir. | ||
| Mike Davis, once again, heroic. | ||
| 24 hours. | ||
| What a difference a day makes, sir. | ||
| And a shout out to FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson, who's also been a hero in this fight. | ||
| So thank you, Steve. | ||
| Major. | ||
| By the way, Andrew Ferguson now, he's got the Zuck in court to break up. | ||
| Meta, a lot of people talked about it. | ||
| Andrew Ferguson's in federal court doing it. | ||
| That's what I mean by grind. | ||
| Thank you, sir. | ||
| Appreciate you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| One year ago yesterday, one year ago today, Danbury, right? | ||
| That's what this fight's all about. | ||
| Next man up. | ||
| You got so many powerful people. | ||
| So many folks stepped up here in the show. | ||
| I'll talk about it next hour. | ||
| But also, just everything. | ||
| We took the oligarchs down overnight. | ||
| Joe Levant. | ||
| So, Joe, take us to the top. | ||
| We've got about three minutes here. | ||
| We're going to hold you through the break. | ||
| Everybody's, you know, Elon Musk is saying he's starting a new party. | ||
| You know, here's what I love. | ||
| A guy starting the America Party is not an American. | ||
| I'd love a South African. | ||
| Hey, yo, dude, go back to South Africa. | ||
| Start the South African party. | ||
| Sort your own country out, right? | ||
| Stop trash talking President Trump because you got cut out of everything. | ||
| Joe, what is it? | ||
| Take a couple of minutes and we'll hold you through the break, give you a bigger segment next segment. | ||
| But what is the basic thesis of how we address the Elon Musk and guys of the world saying, oh, we're not cutting debt or we're not cutting the deficits enough? | ||
| They don't buy into Secretary Besson and the President's growth plan. | ||
| Yes, as Secretary Besson has said, Stephen, and certainly President Trump, you need to grow. | ||
| The economy needs to expand. | ||
| And the provisions, the tax provisions in the one big beautiful bill, especially on the small business side, the increased appreciation and expensing, as well as a new additive, which is 100% expensing for plants, meaning actual factories, is hugely pro-growth. | ||
| It's very supply side additive. | ||
| Even reducing tax on seniors, that's going to encourage them to enter the workforce where participation rates are low. | ||
| No tax on overtime. | ||
| Again, the marginal dollar becomes more valuable when you're not being taxed On it. | ||
| All those policies will generate faster growth. | ||
| Without growth, you have nothing. | ||
| If this bill is not passed, you'll have the largest tax hike in U.S. history. | ||
| The economy will slow markedly. | ||
| In particular, it will hit middle and lower-income households. | ||
| There has never been an example ever in U.S. history where we have cut spending massively, at the same time, hype taxes massively, and generated growth. | ||
| It's got to be done properly, but certainly on the growth side, with which we get control, we've got to push that. | ||
| And these policies that the president's putting forward that Secretary Besson has articulated very well will give us that. | ||
| Hold on, hang on, one second. | ||
| Hang on one second. | ||
| The president's just arriving in Florida to go to Alcatraz, Alligator Alcatraz. | ||
| Let's go live there right now. | ||
| see if we can pick up any sound. | ||
| Okay, that's the president with DeSantis, Governor DeSantis. | ||
| He's coming over. | ||
| I think he may say something to the press. | ||
| Let's go ahead and listen in. | ||
| Hello, everybody. | ||
| The trip was nice, and the job they've done is fantastic. | ||
| And this is what you need. | ||
| And Ron works beautifully with Christy and all of the people at Homeland Security. | ||
| And got it done in how many days, Ron? | ||
| Eight days. | ||
|
unidentified
|
A new facility was up and running. | |
| Is this the model going forward, Mr. Prime? | ||
| It can be. | ||
| I mean, you don't always have land so beautiful and so secure. | ||
| You have a lot of bodyguards and a lot of cops that are in the form of alligators. | ||
| You don't have to pay them so much. | ||
| But I wouldn't want to run through the Everett Lades for long. | ||
| We'll keep people with us supposedly. | ||
| This is a very important thing with setting records that the board, you know, we had no people come through last month. | ||
| Zero, no people. | ||
| But we're going to keep it that way. | ||
| So Ron did great, and I want to thank you. | ||
| Well, look, thank you, Mr. President. | ||
| Thanks for your leadership. | ||
| The border, you did that quicker than we knew you'd do it, but you did it so quick, which is great. | ||
| But Biden led in how many millions, and you got to take care of them. | ||
| And so this is one example of state operating this. | ||
| The feds are approving it, supporting it. | ||
| We're also going to have 2,000 more at Camp Blanding, which is our National Guard site. | ||
| And we're the only state in the country that mandates our state and locals, law enforcement, to cooperate with ICE. | ||
| And it's made a huge difference. | ||
| On any given day, Florida constitutes about 20% of all immigration arrests nationwide. | ||
| And that's just because of the partnership that we have. | ||
| So I think it's great that the president's here. | ||
| What I would just say is don't let Florida be the only state. | ||
| We've got very red states that should be doing this just as much as Florida is doing. | ||
| That will increase their numbers. | ||
| And then what happens is you'll have a lot of people that will deport on their own because they don't want to end up in an alligator alcatraz or some of those other places. | ||
| So I think this is a model, but we need other states to step up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I was going to ask you, would this be enticing for other states to come up with their own model? | |
| They are doing it. | ||
| We have Louisiana doing it, Alabama is doing it. | ||
| We have a lot of states. | ||
| They seem to be red states, and not too many blue states for whatever reason. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But the red states, Republican-run states, are doing it. | |
| The blue states don't do very well at security and policing, unfortunately. | ||
| What would you say, George? | ||
| You know, I would say that exactly right. | ||
| The governor here has been fantastic in forming this partnership with the Department of Homeland Security. | ||
| We were looking at different contracts with different vendors and thought, why not go straight to our governors and ask them to help us solve this problem. | ||
| Florida was unique in what they presented to us, and I would ask every other governor to do the exact same thing. | ||
| This is unique because we can hold individuals here. | ||
| They can have their hearings, get due process, and then immediately be flown back home to their home countries. | ||
| And their home countries are welcoming them. | ||
| They're setting up loans for houses. | ||
| They've got food assistance. | ||
| They're helping to facilitate welcoming them home. | ||
| I just got home from Panama, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, and they're all excited about getting their individuals back home from the United States. | ||
| There is a lot of self-supporting. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's one thing. | |
| I was actually surprised. | ||
| But a lot of self-supporting. | ||
| And when you have something like this, even more so. | ||
| So I'd ask Ron one question. | ||
| I flew over the Evident, we did it in the circle. | ||
| I said, let me share that big piece of land. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Take us 45 minutes to fly around. | |
| Is there potential for enlargement for additional facilities out of that? | ||
| There may be. | ||
| I mean, I think what we're doing is, because this is an important part of Florida, we're using the existing footprint of this airport. | ||
| So when you guys go over there, you'll see all the beds, the medical, the galley, everything is on the concrete. | ||
| We're not using any of the other stuff. | ||
| Now, as you'll see, there's a lot of concrete, so there very well may be. | ||
| I know Secretary Noam and her team have said as soon as the president departs, we'll be open to start receiving folks. | ||
| I see what tempo is. | ||
| We do have the 2,000 in Northeast Florida that will open very soon. | ||
| So it is possible to do. | ||
| One of the things I think that is exciting about this is we're offering up our National Guard and other folks in Florida to be deputized to be immigration judges. | ||
| We're working with the Department of Justice for the approvals on church payments. | ||
| But then you have, I'll have a National Guard judge advocate here. | ||
| Someone has a notice to appear. | ||
| Biden would tell them to come back in three years and appear. | ||
| Now you'll be able to appear in like a day or two. | ||
| So they're not going to be detained, hopefully, for all that long. | ||
| We'll have people here in this facility that can make, you know, it's a bureaucracy. | ||
| The president's got to deal with the bureaucracy. | ||
| Now that Supreme Court ruling was good because that's going to allow him to be able to exercise Article II the way founders intended, but you still have bureaucracy. | ||
| So we want to cut through that so that we have an efficient operation between Florida and DHS to get the removal of these illegals done. | ||
| How many initially, Mr. President? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Are you going after the worst of the worst, or are you now arresting anyone who is? | |
| We're doing the worst of the worst, always the first. | ||
| And I think it's great government, what we've done. | ||
| And nobody can ever forget what this group of people, Biden or whoever it was, because it probably wasn't even Biden, I don't think you know what you're doing. | ||
| Biden, whoever it was, what this group of people, a small group that circled the resolute desk, what they did to this country. | ||
| Think of it what your time, all the time you have to waste doing this country. | ||
| It's a much more sound, we have no problem with this. | ||
| There was never anything like that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There was never anything like that. | |
| Okay, it looks like it was frozen going out right there at the site. | ||
| President Trump has arrived with Governor DeSantis and Christy Noome, ahead of DHS. | ||
| They're going to go tour Alligator Alcatraz. | ||
| Now, what's going to happen, our own Brian Glenn is with the president, and with it, he'll be in actually the motorcade or he'll be with the president. | ||
| We'll come back up as soon as we get a signal. | ||
| Brian will be in there in the journey over to this incredible new facility that is a little bit like Devil's Island in the fact that you've got alligators patrolling in a moat around. | ||
| So you don't need to have barbed wire or anything to constrain it. | ||
| President Trump's going to get the full briefing. | ||
| This thing has been put up in eight days. | ||
| It's a model for how we're going to look forward to deport these 10 million illegal alien invaders as rapidly as possible. | ||
| The bill to get their money to do that is being voted on right now in the United States Senate. | ||
| Let's go back to, I still have John, Joe Lavanier. | ||
| Let's get Joe in before the. | ||
| So, Joe, right there, you're seeing it. | ||
| That whole facility is really the Christy Noam part is predicated upon the big, big, big, beautiful bill being passed today. | ||
| I think we have $150 to $170 billion in for the deportation and border security in the Senate. | ||
| I think $70 or $80 billion in the House. | ||
| That'll get worked out somehow. | ||
| But once again, Elon Musk is hammering the president that, oh, you're not paying attention to debt. | ||
| The theory of the case is you've got to get the economy growing again. | ||
| This is a supply-side cut. | ||
| When you actually look at your model and add in everything, you add in tariffs, you add in growth, you add in all the investment, you're growing at 2.8 to 3%. | ||
| You're actually growing faster. | ||
| And this is the way that you start to knock the deficits down besides all the other cuts that the president's going to make on waste foreign abuse that the Doge guys did not actually get done. | ||
| Joe, your thoughts? | ||
| Yeah, Steve. | ||
| So the 2-8 was an underlying figure CEA had effectively used. | ||
| That was sort of a midpoint. | ||
| They're optimistic it could be higher. | ||
| 3% something is certainly possible. | ||
| Just so you know, these deficit fears that people talk about are based off of a CBO estimate of just 1.8% growth per year. | ||
| There is a massive difference. | ||
| This is trillions of dollars between 3% type growth and 1.8% growth. | ||
| And you're talking a $30 trillion economy with compounding over a 10-year period. | ||
| So that's important. | ||
| You have to get the growth assumption right. | ||
| But as it comes back to the One Big Beautiful Bill, and you're talking about deportations, Secretary Bess has made a very key point. | ||
| And that is when you remove these illegal people, you're going to lift nominal wage rates in the U.S. They're going to go to really a market level rate. | ||
| So that becomes very, very competitive for U.S. workers. | ||
| Moreover, within the One Big Beautiful Bill, as it relates to building things, you've got significant permitting improvements for energy output and production. | ||
| That's key because energy is an input into virtually everything. | ||
| So there are a lot of supply side factors that will raise living standards, lift productivity through the capital investment side, but also lower inflation through increased energy production and independence, which will lower prices at the pump. | ||
| They're effectively at a four-year low. | ||
| That's great news heading into the summer. | ||
| So all these factors are just really powerful. | ||
| And I'd also say we could sort of have to ignore the consensus of economists who have been consistently wrong on the tariffs and leading to high inflation. | ||
| It's been quite the opposite. | ||
| Inflation's been lower than expected. | ||
| These forecasts probably wouldn't have happened even if there weren't tariffs, but they have happened. | ||
| The tariffs have been absorbed in the margins. | ||
| So these fears of debt are just totally misplaced in my mind. | ||
| Joe, hang on one second. | ||
| We got the president again. | ||
| Let's go back. | ||
| We got another feed. | ||
| Let's go right back to the president. | ||
| I would love it. | ||
| I would love it. |
