April 2nd, 2025 will forever be remembered as the day American industry was reborn, the day America's destiny was reclaimed, and the day that we began to make America wealthy again. | |
| We're going to make it wealthy. | ||
| True to his promise on a campaign trip and to address a growing national emergency over America's chronic and massive trade deficits, President Trump has imposed tariffs on countries around the world. | ||
| Trumpnomics goal is not only to reduce America's trade deficit, it is to defend American workers and factories against unfair trade practices while encouraging trillions of dollars of investment in new American plant and equipment. | ||
| The policy is working for America, and no one should be surprised by this. | ||
| This is because before the word tariff became synonymous with President Donald Trump, generations of American statesmen built the foundation for today's America First Agenda. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Their ideas were rooted in three core principles, sovereignty, security, and the protection of American workers. | |
| Economic nationalism, also known as economic populism, isn't new. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's a return to the proven economic model that built the greatest industrial power in world history. | |
| So far we have not seen, and so far we haven't seen it, it was a major, like catastrophic prediction, right? | ||
| The Pannikins, the whole world's going to fall apart. | ||
| And we just haven't seen that. | ||
| And I think there does need to be a little contrition by economic ruling class. | ||
| Like, hey, back when we were saying this was going to be the worst thing for the global markets ever, it turns out what it has done is it recentered America as the center point of the world economy that people wanted to invest in this country. | ||
| It started with Alexander Hamilton, the original architect of American economic nationalism. | ||
| In his report on manufactures, Hamilton laid it out clearly. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The United States needed tariffs to defend its young industries from British domination and to secure true independence, not just politically, but economically. | |
| Hamilton knew that if America relied on foreign powers for manufactured goods, it would always be vulnerable. | ||
| Decades later, Henry Clay carried Hamilton's vision forward. | ||
| His American system prioritized three things, a strong national bank, major infrastructure investment, and above all, protective tariffs. | ||
| Clay said it best in 1824. | ||
| The tariff is to tax the produce of foreign industry with the view of promoting American industry. | ||
| That's the same logic President Trump used nearly 200 years later when he invoked Section 232 to impose tariffs on steel and aluminum to stop foreign overproduction and dumping from crushing American jobs. | ||
| Like Trump, Clay faced fierce opposition. | ||
| The Southern-led nullification crisis, sparked by the tariffs of 1828 and 1832, nearly tore the country apart. | ||
| But the principle held protect American industry or risk dependence on foreign powers. | ||
| Then came Abraham Lincoln, the first Republican president. | ||
| Lincoln proudly called himself an old line Henry Clay wig and understood the value of tariffs. | ||
|
unidentified
|
A country that's brought that's that's genuinely brought together, that trusts what's happening, that feels that everything is credible, that there's a coming together. | |
| I assume you want that? | ||
| Of course, but in a post-HOS, how could that ever happen? | ||
| And again, how could that ever happen with the left or the right? | ||
| I think with the, I totally agree. | ||
| And I would just say, look, in a post-COVID world, we have-I'm just an idealist to believe that. | ||
| Hold on, Andrew, you're not the left. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You're not intolerant. | |
| You know where I'm going with this. | ||
| We did not receive any apologies from the ruling class that lied to us repeatedly during COVID. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The lockdowns, the efficacy of the vaccine, the mask mandates, school closures, and we just act as if it didn't happen. | |
| And I don't think the American ruling class understands the undermining of their credibility that happened when the entire country had their lives forwarded, especially young people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're just supposed to reopen the country and be like, well, why don't you trust us anymore? | |
| Well, it's because all yeah, the Hunter Biden laptops, Russian disinformation 50 operations signed this letter. | ||
| And you know I'm making a good point here because there was no contrition from this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's his one example. | |
| And again, I could go one after the other. | ||
| No, I would say that actually COVID, to me, I mean, this is extra generational, is actually very much like the 2008 crisis in a way. | ||
| That spawned Occupy Wall Street. | ||
| This has sort of spawned a different sort of political inclusion. | ||
| Do you want to do the laptop? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Do you want to do, I mean, take your pick on the way things are covered in this country. | |
| All I'm suggesting, though, is this full-on, constant relitigation of what took place in the past as opposed to a clear-eyed view of what's happening now. | ||
| I would just interject respectfully that it's not just relitable. | ||
| First of all, no one was held accountable largely for what happened. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's why I said it's sort of like 2008. | |
| Because a lot of people thought all those bankers were supposed to go to jail, frankly. | ||
| And honestly, I think there should have been some administration of justice. | ||
| That's a separate issue. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I was young at the time. | |
| I can only speak about what we're living through now. | ||
| And a lot of the COVID injustices we are still seeing today with younger people and their ability to own homes, with the inflation that President Trump is trying to fix that was inherited by Joe Biden. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So what I'm getting at, and I know a lot of the C-suite of America watches this program, they might not understand where this populist fervor comes from, is that you have missed the mark on so many of the horrible proclamations you made to the American people explained the last five years. | |
| In the Civil War, tariff revenues helped finance the Union Army. | ||
| And after the war, they fueled a rapid industrial expansion. | ||
| Lincoln knew that protecting American industry meant protecting American workers and protecting the American nation itself. | ||
| Fast forward to the late 19th century, William McKinley, son of an iron worker and a cyclo of clay, took up the mantle. | ||
| In 1890, he passed one of the highest protective tariffs in U.S. history, with duties exceeding 50%. | ||
|
unidentified
|
In his 1896 campaign, McKinley declared, I'm a tariff man standing on a tariff platform. | |
| McKinley won, and under his leadership, the United States became the world leader in agriculture, mining, and manufacturing. | ||
| He credited that success directly to the protective trade system. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is one of the most important days, in my opinion, in American history. | |
| It's our declaration of economic independence. | ||
| For years, hardworking American citizens were forced to sit on the sidelines as other nations got rich and powerful, much of it at our expense. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But now it's our turn to prosper and, in so doing, use trillions and trillions of dollars to reduce our taxes and pay down our national debt. | |
| And it all happened very quickly. | ||
| With today's action, we are finally going to be able to make America great again, greater than ever before. | ||
| The fake news wants us to believe these are fringe ideas, but history teaches us this is the American tradition. | ||
| President Trump's trade agenda, especially his bold use of tariffs, draws along this long line of economic nationalism. | ||
| Explain to me then the ascension of Mamdani. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, it's very, I mean, because Mohamdani can be easily explained. | |
| Could be a cathartic. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We need to go through this like once every 25 years. | |
| I hope you're right. | ||
| Let's just hope nobody dies, because that's what usually happens with communism. | ||
| Mamdani can be best understood as a the people that voted for him are actually more college educated than they are working class. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But I think it's all driven by economic anxiety. | |
| I think it's people that don't own that. | ||
| Stop driven by 700,000 people. | ||
| My worry about populism. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| My worry about populism is, and this is true on both sides of the populist situation, that effectively voters get lied to. | ||
| They get lied to about what the politicians can actually do for them. | ||
| That's what populism actually is. | ||
| But the technocrats have been lying to us. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So it's not like this idea that populists are going to lie. | |
| President Trump's the one that's actually kept his promises. | ||
| He said he's going to secure the border, and he did. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He said he was going to appoint the people the Supreme Court did. | |
| But I would just say, beyond Momdaniism, the thing I want to caution your audience is you're going to get Maggioniism. | ||
| You're going to get one-off violent targeting of people with money if we do not rebuild the American middle class. | ||
| I think President Trump is doing that. | ||
| The numbers show that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So I think we're not, we're not, we look at this. | |
| Oh, Mamdani's the problem. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The C-suite of this country should want MAGA. | |
| We will deal with you. | ||
| We'll do a deal. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We'll bring you in the room. | |
| We'll talk about tax cuts, tension between capital and labor, because the alternative is Maggioni and Momdani, and you don't want that. | ||
| From Hamilton to Clay, from Lincoln to McKinley, and now President Donald John Trump. | ||
| The core idea has remained the same. | ||
| Put American workers first. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Build American industry. | |
| Protect American sovereignty. | ||
| This is the heart of the America First Agenda. | ||
| It's not new. | ||
| It's certainly not radical. | ||
| It's the most American economic policy in history. | ||
| Five leaders, one philosophy. | ||
| Make tariffs great again. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Make America great again. | |
| Trump promises made. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Trump promises always kept. | |
| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
| Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. | ||
| Here's not got a free shot on all these networks lying about the people. | ||
| The people have had a belly full of it. | ||
| I know you don't like hearing that. | ||
| I know you're trying to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
| It's going to happen. | ||
| And where do people like that go to share the big line? | ||
| MAGA media. | ||
| I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. | ||
| Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? | ||
| If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. | ||
| War Room. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Wednesday, 13 August in the year of World War II025, we are head to reformatting the show a little bit this morning. | ||
| President Trump, because President Trump is going to the Kennedy Center at 11 o'clock, I believe at 11.15, this is all current schedule, 11.15. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's going to give some remarks about the Kennedy Awards, I think, that will be presented in December. | |
| I think he'll make the announcement of the recipients today. | ||
| Also, I think he's going to make some comments maybe about the Smithsonian Institute, President Trump seizing the high ground. | ||
| Remember, we told you back at the beginning of this administration, the second term, third victory, second term, about seizing the institutions. | ||
| Well, guess what? | ||
| President Donald John Trump is seizing them. | ||
| I want to thank our team, the producers on the war room, also Denver, for a magnificent cut. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Now, that was two things we put together. | |
| Number one, Dr. Peter Navarro did an amazing film, it's about a six and a half or seven-minute film about tariffs, the American system. | ||
| We're going to link to that. | ||
| You've got to see that in its entirety. | ||
| It's fantastic. | ||
| But we intercut that with Charlie Kirk, gave a star turn this morning on CNBC Squawk Box. | ||
| And you saw Andrew Ross Sorkin. | ||
| Andrew Ross Sorkin is one of the lead columnists for the New York Times, economic columnists, and he's throughout. | ||
| You see him on Morning Joe. | ||
| Obviously, he's one of the co-anchors of Squawkbox, very prominent guy. | ||
| And I thought Charlie did an amazing job of walking through populist nationalism. | ||
| That, I think, is almost 20 minutes. | ||
| We're also going to link to that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So you got to see. | |
| And I think the great Citizen Kane over at Citizens Free Press has already put it up. | ||
| Kane's always ahead of the curve. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So Kane's already got it up. | |
| Today, folks are on fire and pressing for it. | ||
| They're in meltdown. | ||
| That Charlie Kirk was actually on Squawkbox today. | ||
| Absolute meltdown from the establishment. | ||
| Charlie, get it, like I said, a great job, Star Turn. | ||
| Peter Navarro, fantastic. | ||
| I'm going to get up in a moment as soon as I can get a little more organized. | ||
| Kobayasi, the great guy up on Twitter, has an amazing, I think it's 10, a tweet thread on tariffs, of how what tariffs are really redoing as the external revenue service tariff cash is pouring in and inflation is nowhere to be found. | ||
|
unidentified
|
As Kobayasi says, all we have to do now is cut spending. | |
| Okay, we've got a lot of great news today. | ||
| Steve Camarada is going to join us for the Center for Immigration Studies. | ||
| A blockbuster report put up by these guys. | ||
|
unidentified
|
2.2 million foreign nationals leave the United States between January and June of this year. | |
| This is what we voted for, right? | ||
| Of that, 1.6 million are illegal aliens. | ||
| He'll be here to break it all down. | ||
| Also, John Lott, about President Trump deployed the National Guard and other federal agencies into the Imperial Capitol last night to get good order and discipline. | ||
| John Lotto Bay here, of course, John Solomon breaking news on seditious conspiracy. | ||
| We're going to Texas. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The Senate voted to pass the new map for redistricting. | |
| Of course, the hapless governor and quite frankly, disappointing Lieutenant Governor are running out of days because they let these guys get away and you're going to have to have another special session. | ||
| We're going to break everything down to you, including the president's trip, his visit over to the Kennedy Center in about 45 minutes. | ||

You are in Chicago where a number of those Texan-elected officials have basically been camping out and you've got some reporting on their plans. | |
| What can you tell us? | ||
| Yeah, so they're here for the duration. | ||
| And there are, you know, there's a lot of different messaging going on, right? | ||
| And what they're trying to do is essentially say, look, even if in the long run this gets passed and we, you know, lose, we just brought attention to something that if we had done nothing, voters would have just rolled over and not even had known what just happened. | ||
| No one really listens to redistricting voters' eyes glaze over, right? | ||
| But when you start doing things like reporting on Texas Democrats leaving and pairing that with people like J.B. Pritzker and people like Gavin Newsom, Dick Durbin, I mean, they have had every single day they've had a major, you know, contingent of House Democrats from Congress come in, governors, senators. | ||
| So they're really trying to raise awareness on this. | ||
| And I've heard enough. | ||
| We wouldn't have to listen to that if folks in Texas would take more dramatic action. | ||
| Brian Harrison joins us. | ||
| Brian, thank you and thank you for your Twitter feed to keep us all up to speed of what's going on. | ||
| We're at a runway here. | ||
| Are we not? | ||
| The Texas Senate did vote because the Warren Posse got on them, did vote, but it looks like because the hapless governor, and he's hapless, unless forced to do something, he won't do it. | ||
| And then he comes on like, you know, it's all rhetoric, no action. | ||
| The lieutenant governor is quite disappointing in this too. | ||
| It runs out in, what, 48 hours? | ||
| We're finished Friday. | ||
| We got to go and do it again. | ||
| And now they're making, oh, we'll do it as many times as possible. | ||
| You shouldn't have had to do it the first time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You should have done it in the regular session. | |
| And what's very disappointing is that you don't have the flood relief with the Kerrville situation and you didn't grapple with the property taxes. | ||
| The two things the special session was supposed to do, you never got to. | ||
| Brian Harrison. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, let's take a step back for two seconds. | ||
| I mean, Texas has a reputation. | ||
| People think of Texas. | ||
| They think of a state that leads in individual liberty and freedom and low taxes and low regulations and bold conservative government. | ||
| But the reality is that's just a myth. | ||
| And Texas has been just coasting on that reputation for far too long. | ||
| And when we were on the floor yesterday, I mean, our embarrassing, feckless rhino speaker of the Texas House, who was elected by the Democrats, can't forget this, effectively just hoisted up the white flag of surrender and said, we're not even going to pretend anymore. | ||
| He gave the entire House effectively a three-day hall pass to get us to win Friday. | ||
| And what happens Friday? | ||
| The session ends. | ||
| So here's what it appears to be the case now. | ||
| The first special session will come and go, and we will accomplish exactly zero of the things that the Texas voters want and demanded from their government, including property tax. | ||
| And we got some of the highest property taxes in the nation. | ||
| The idea that Texas is a small government, low-tax state is totally absurd. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's a myth because of the feckless, weak Rhino Republican leadership in the Austin Uniparty. | |
| But on the redistricting thing, this is one point for the Democrats, zero for the Republicans. | ||
| And it is unequivocally, just, it's factually true at this point. | ||
| The Democrats have had a smashing success with the full assistance of the weak establishment rhinos in the Texas state house. | ||
| The Democrats will have thwarted every single Republican priority, including redistricting for 100% of the first special session. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So on Friday, we're going to have to hit the hard reset button and we're going to have to start everything all over again. | |
| Yes, the Senate finally with four days to go or three days to go finally got around to passing redistricting. | ||
| Why they didn't do that in week one, who the hell knows? | ||
| But here's the reality for folks still scratching their heads at all this. | ||
| Once people, I tell people, the sooner you understand in the Texas government that the Republicans and the Democrats are not actually on separate sides of a war, the sooner this makes sense to you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And the reality is there's only two factions in the Texas government. | |
| There are big government liberals who call themselves Democrats, and there are big government liberals who call themselves Republicans. | ||
| And Texans deserve better. | ||
| Brian Harrison, have we taken any parking spots? | ||
| Have we, except for the fact they have to now come to the speaker's office to pick up their paycheck, have we taken any seniority away? | ||
| Have we taken any offices away? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Have we vacated any seats? | |
| Have we done anything of action that can be taken, sir? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, by the way, the mainstream media and their breathless coverage of this, oh, look at the bold action coming out of Texas Republicans. | |
| They're going to force them to pick up paper checks for their next paycheck. | ||
| What nobody's telling anybody is that our rhino speaker made this threat to pay-per-checks instead of direct deposit the day after the monthly payday. | ||
| So they're already going to have been back in for another special session before this stupid pick up your paper check nonsense would even take effect. | ||
| Yeah, he took away their newsletters. | ||
| And no, they still have their parking spots. | ||
| Like we haven't even touched their parking spots. | ||
| And your audience probably remembers to two weeks ago when the governor was like, if you guys don't, you rogue Democrats, if you don't throw up at three, show up at 3 p.m. on Monday, we're going to vacate your seats and we're going to kick you out of the legislature. | ||
| The era of soft Republicans and no consequences, an era of times gone by. | ||
| That was a week and a half ago. | ||
| Okay, a week and a half ago. | ||
| Zero seats have been vacated. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Our feckless Rhino speaker, he made a big deal, big photo op of him signing these arrest warrants. | |
| Zero arrests. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And we're two and a half days from this thing being over. | |
| So I tweeted out this morning, where the hell are the arrests that we were promised? | ||
| Where the hell are the Democrats having their seats vacated and booted out of the legislature because of their dereliction of their constitutional duty? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, the reality is those were lies. | |
| They were misdirection. | ||
| It was red hearings. | ||
| It was smoke and mirrors. | ||
| It was hot air designed to deflect the eyes of the nation from the fact that the elected so-called Republican leadership in the state of Texas has actually been colluding with and has been in bed with the radical Marxist progressive Democrats for decades. | ||
| But they've been getting away with it for decades. | ||
| And Steve, this is where I think we're seeing a turning point here. | ||
| And in the last few days, you've seen the rhetoric change. | ||
| You've covered it, Steve. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The rhetoric is changing for the first time. | |
| I think the elected weak establishment Rhino Uniparty in Austin is realizing their usual tricks of doing liberal things and then blaming those pesky Democrats. | ||
| Those tricks, they're not working as well as they used to. | ||
| The eyes of millions of Texans and the eyes of patriots across the country, thanks in large part to you and the posse, they know now for the first time they're being watched. | ||
| And victory is the only option that's acceptable in this circumstance. | ||
| You're seeing the polling in Cornyn, and the corner's trying to be a tough guy here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You're seeing the polling at Cornyn. | |
| He's basically stick a fork in him in the primary. | ||
| You're also seeing, I think, Abbott, if he was announced for governor, I think it's a whole new day. | ||
| I just think people realize Abbott's a Democrat, a moderate Democrat, actually. | ||
| And I don't see him. | ||
| Seriously, I don't think people take him seriously. | ||
| I know people in Washington don't take him seriously, think he's hapless. | ||
| Brian, where do people go for your Twitter account? | ||
| It's on fire. | ||
| And the posse's prepared. | ||
| We're going to start it all over again. | ||
| This time, maybe the pitchforks will be a little sharper. | ||
| The bayonets will be a little sharper, sir. | ||
| Yeah, round two comes Friday. | ||
| If you want to do just one thing to make the progressive rhinos and liberals angry today, go to my ex feed at BrianE. Harrison on Twitter at Brian E. Harrison. | ||
| Follow me, like and share because this is, I'm telling you guys, it is the most hated Twitter feed in the entire capital under the pink dome in the state of Texas. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So go like, follow, share, because here's the reality, guys. | |
| Texas, patriotic Texans have been losing for decades to feckless establishment, liberal, so-called Republican leadership in Texas. | ||
| There's a new day. | ||
| Texans, their eyes are being opened. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The eyes of Americans are being opened. | |
| And I think we're turning a page in this state where feckless rhinos are not going to be able to get away with their games and selling the next generation down the river like they've been getting away with for far too long. | ||
| The stakes couldn't be higher. | ||
| The future of Texas is on the line. | ||
| That means the future of America is on the line. | ||
| That means the future of the planet is on the line. | ||
| Stay in the fight. | ||
| And I appreciate you and I appreciate the policy and all you're doing. | ||
| As Texas goes, so goes the nation. | ||
| As the nation goes, so goes the world. | ||
| Brian Harrison, thank you for joining us this morning. | ||
| Appreciate you. | ||
| Amen. | ||
| God bless you all. | ||
| A fighter. | ||
| Steve Camerado, by the way, explosive news on your new analysis. | ||
| But Steve, when Todd Bensman, before Todd Benson, went over and is one of Holman's deputies, we used to have this discussion about Texas all the time, about the phony things that Abbott would put in and sound tough, but nothing would happen. | ||
| Today, this report you've got, I want to take in, we're going to hold you through the break, walk through this explosive. | ||
| Was it 2.2 million foreign nationals have left the United States of America since January, since the start of President Trump's second term, and 1.6 million illegal aliens? | ||
| How did you derive these numbers, sir? | ||
| Right. | ||
| So, as your listeners may know, we have a thing called, it's called the Household Survey. | ||
| It's technically known as the Current Population Survey. | ||
| It's where we get all the unemployment numbers, not the job growth numbers, the thing that caused the controversy with the revision. | ||
| This is a different survey. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And this survey asks people things like, where were you born and what country are you from? | |
| And we can look at that. | ||
| And it has been for the last 30 years one of the main sources of information on the foreign born. | ||
| Now, your listeners might say, look, but do foreign or do illegal immigrants respond? | ||
| Well, let me tell them this. | ||
| If you look at the data from the time Joe Biden took office in January of 2021 and when he left in January of 2025, you find an 8 million, 8.3 million growth in the foreign born during that time period. | ||
| And we didn't let anywhere near that many legal immigrants in. | ||
| And some of the legal immigrants here went home and some passed away. | ||
| About 300,000 die. | ||
| It's a very large population. | ||
| So it's just natural human mortality. | ||
| So in that context, most of that 8 million growth the survey picked up had to be mathematically illegal immigrants. | ||
| And now we're seeing the reverse, a dramatic decline. | ||
| As you said, the overall immigrant population, legal and illegal together, declined by 2.2 million just January of this year to July of this year. | ||
| And as best we can tell, about 1.6 million of that decline are illegal immigrants. | ||
| Now, some of them may have gone home. | ||
| There's a small number of deaths, natural mortality. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So maybe the thing to talk about next is: do I believe the numbers? | |
| The numbers clearly show that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They clearly have picked up illegal immigrants in the past. | |
| That's just, there's no question. | ||
| So the big question is: is it accurate? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I think it is. | ||
| Hang on. | ||
| Hang on. | ||
| We're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| We're going to leave them hanging in anticipation. | ||
| Camerada's with us from CIS. | ||
| John Solomon. | ||
| Next. | ||
| Waru. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Camerada's going to hang with us because this is, we have to take a moment and drill down on this for a second. | ||
| It's quite, it's very important and quite profound what he's come up with. | ||
| And I think it shows you the impact President Trump's policies are having. | ||
| This is why we opened on the tariffs with Charlie Kirk on CNBC this morning, preaching the gospel of populist nationalism, Kobeassi's newsletter, which are his Twitter feed on tariffs, how much cash coming in, I'm putting up momentarily. | ||
| Camerada all fits into that. | ||
| John Lott's also going to join us about the seizing of these institutions, particularly in the nation's capital, the deployment of the National Guard, also President Trump. | ||
| As you know, we're going to cut at 11 o'clock to go live. | ||
| President Trump is going to be at the Kennedy Center. | ||
| He's going to announce, I think, the recipients of the Kennedy Awards that will be handed out in December. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I believe he'll also make comments about the, I think, the 11 or 12 different parts of the Smithsonian Institute, museums, natural history, all of it, American history that they're going to be going through and vetting and making sure it's focused on American greatness, all that. | |
| As we seize the high ground, John Solomon's with us. | ||
| Solomon, I know you're on to something, brother. | ||
| When you send me these things and like the middle of the night, and it's the new breaking news out of Justin News, I get up in the morning and I see other news services have got it, have literally retyped John Solomon's breaking news with their own like headlines. | ||
| So I know you're on to something. | ||
| Walk us through the latest development in this seditious conspiracy case that we're all pursuing, sir. | ||
| Yeah, so we talked yesterday about Adam Schiff, that there was an eyewitness on his own staff that went to the FBI, said he was leaking classified information. | ||
| The FBI also had suspicions that James Comey's hand-picked PR consultant who he paid for with tax dollars. | ||
| He brought this guy on to be a special government employee. | ||
|
unidentified
|
His name is Daniel Richmond. | |
| He's a Columbia Law University professor. | ||
| And this guy admits, listen, I went around the FBI press office. | ||
| I was Comey's guy to the media. | ||
| He's working with the New York Times, one of the reporters that wins that Pulitzer that President Trump is now suing over. | ||
| And he's feeding them information. | ||
| And at some point, the FBI becomes concerned that maybe Richmond leaked classified information because he attends a meeting with Comey where classified information is shared with him. | ||
| He then has a contact with the reporter who then writes about the classified information. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And so they confront him. | |
| And he gives, I think, maybe the greatest non-denial denial since Donald, since Bill Clinton said, it depends what the meaning of is is in the Monica Lewinsky scandal. | ||
| Remember when he tried to parse words to suggest maybe Atten had an affair or lied about an affair with his White House intern? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Richmond says, when asked, did you leak classified information? | |
| I'm pretty sure I didn't confirm it to him. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I'm sure with a discount, I'm sure with a discount that I didn't give him the classified information. | |
| The discount means you got to give me some credit. | ||
| Maybe I didn't do it or maybe I did do it. | ||
| It's a remarkable denial. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All throughout this, what you're seeing now is that the top echelons of government, we're using classified information. | |
| We're using secret anonymous leaks to the regime news media, the legacy news media, to create a false narrative to the American people. | ||
| And James Comey is right there. | ||
| So is Adam Schiff. | ||
| And I think we're going to learn some others. | ||
| There are some redactions in the documents I got yesterday, and I'm hoping that Pam Bondi and her team will lift those redactions. | ||
| The Justice Department may have a couple of other Comey lieutenants who may have also admitted to leaking. | ||
| Right now, those are redacted out of these documents. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm pressing, and I'm getting good reception. | |
| I think they'll do the right thing here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But if we can get those redactions lifted, we're going to know just how widespread Comey's leak machine was and whether any of it was classified. | |
| I want to point out one thing about what you learned about this. | ||
| Daniel Richmond's honest about why he was hired. | ||
| He wasn't hired to help the American public. | ||
| He was hired to help improve James Comey's image. | ||
| Just think about that and to set a narrative, i.e., the Russia collusion narrative. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think we have to go back and look at whether that special government employee contract was worth the American taxpayers' money. | |
| Yeah, explain to the audience why a special government employee, this is not some guy that's just coming as a consultant to do one thing. | ||
| This is a guy that's not just doing a favor to somebody who knows, like, you know, if they want to be an intermediary with the post or cut out. | ||
| This guy, they actually make a special government employee. | ||
|
unidentified
|
At the same time, when you read through this, they're setting up meetings for people to brief the New York Times and brief it in detail after the classified information's going from this. | |
| So, this is a very organized effort to spoon feed the New York Times highly classified information. | ||
| Correct, sir? | ||
| Yeah, and listen, what you see here is that the New York Times wins a plitzer off of some of these stories that are leaked to them by the FBI. | ||
| And you now realize that the person who's involved in some of that admits the goal was to set a narrative. | ||
| What was the narrative? | ||
| James Comey's not the bad guy he's been made to look out to be. | ||
| And we want you to think Donald Trump is a Russian stooge and that there's real reason to do it. | ||
| So the leaks actually have a purpose. | ||
| Now, isn't it ironic that the way Richmond describes this, that they're setting a narrative, is exactly what the whistleblower on Adam Schiff said. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Adam Schiff said, I want to set a narrative that maybe puts Donald Trump on a path to being indicted or for me, Adam Schiff, to get on some Watergate-like committee. | |
| You can see now that the legacy media was used by this very targeted leak campaign designed to give information out that is somewhat true, but completely misleading. | ||
| By the time they're leaking Russia collusion, the FBI already knows that Christopher Steele's dossier is bunk. | ||
| He's been fired. | ||
| But these guys are setting the narrative for personal and political agendas. | ||
| And I think that is what's so disturbing about that. | ||
| The U.S. government is playing a dirty trick on the American people using newspapers like the New York Times. | ||
| Two things. | ||
| Number one, by the information they had, they should have been focused on the Chinese Communist Party, right? | ||
| They're getting a twofer here, are they not? | ||
| It's a misdirection play. | ||
| It's a misdirection play in the whole Russia hoax because Russia hoax is just not about Trump and his team. | ||
| It's also about Russian intents. | ||
| And that's why this is so important coming out, so brilliant coming out on the run-up to this meeting where I hope we suck the framework for the rapprochement, just not Ukraine, to undo all the damage that's been done by the deep state. | ||
| So talk to me a minute about that because the CCP, they had warnings and the CCP is where they should have been focused on in 2016. | ||
| And yet you don't hear a word about that. | ||
| They get a twofer. | ||
| Let's smear Trump and his people. | ||
| At the same time, smear the Russians, sir. | ||
| And let's keep in mind what happens in March of 2016. | ||
| In March of 2016, the FBI gets a dump of documents from Hunter Biden's business partners. | ||
| And they are now aware in the spring of 2016 in an unrelated case involving an Indian tribe that was fleeced by some of Hunter Biden's business partners that Hunter Biden has these really deeply concerning ties to China, right? | ||
| That there's a whistleblower from a bank that sends something to the Securities and Exchange Commission. | ||
| The FBI gets a whole bunch of grand jury documents. | ||
| So the FBI has every reason to worry about Democratic ties to the Chinese party and also about whether Hillary Clinton's emails and foundation were corrupt and corruption and security damaging to the United States. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And they're just going to hang a fake Russian shingle on Donald Trump's house to change the dialogue. | |
| It's important to put all these investigations in a timeline. | ||
| You start to realize they had reason in 2016 to worry about the Democratic Party in China. | ||
| And then they start working on this other narrative. | ||
| That is irrefutable now. | ||
| John, also, they don't want to touch. | ||
| You see the mainstream media in the narrative war right now. | ||
| They don't want to touch these allegations and the whistleblowers and anything like that. | ||
| One of the things they keep going, well, you shouldn't spend any time on it because the statute of limitations has run out. | ||
| Can you just inform our audience why this information is relevant in an ongoing criminal investigation today and why it could lead to actual indictments and prosecutions Harmee Dillon, right here on Real America's Voice on our show last week, laid out something that I think we all ought to be thinking about. | ||
| She's one of the keenest minds that the Justice Department has. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And she says you should be looking at this criminal case as a deprivation of civil rights, much like the 1960s era where police were accused of violating African-American civil rights during the Jim Crow era. | |
| The FBI and intelligence committee is going to be looked under the same light. | ||
| Why? | ||
| They put Donald Trump, they put Carter Page, they put Mike Flynn, they put George Papadopoulos and so many other people before grand juries, caused them to be investigated, to spend millions of dollars when there was no predicated reason to investigate them. | ||
| That is a deprivation of civil liberties. | ||
| In the case of Carter Page in the FISA warrant, he was illegally surveilled based on false and misleading information. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So this is what you're beginning to look at: they're going to look at 16 to 24 as that ongoing conspiracy. | |
| And the overarching crime might ironically be a crime that liberals used to be really concerned about, the deprivation of American civil liberties under the color of government authority. | ||
| I think that's where the grand jury is probably going based on my early reporting, some of it now on the record with people like Harmeet Dillon. | ||
| And you saw in the last week in the subpoenas that went out to Letitia James and her lawsuit against President Trump in New York, that ridiculous lawsuit that got that huge fine against him. | ||
| One of the things that the grand jury subpoena makes clear, they're looking at whether she violated President Trump's civil liberties, civil rights. | ||
| I think that's what we're looking at, a criminal conspiracy to deprive Americans of their civil liberties and freedom under color of government authority. | ||
| So that's why this is all becoming very important. | ||

John, where do people go to get all your content, sir? | |
| Yep, justinnews.com. | ||
| And on all social media, my handle is J. Solomon Reports. | ||
| We'll have another big stuff tonight, Steve. | ||
|
unidentified
|
If you thought Hillary Clinton got a pass on the email case, and a lot of people certainly think she did, wait till you see what happened inside the FBI when they tried to investigate her foundation for corruption. | |
| We're going to lay out all the obstruction that FBI agents faced. | ||
| It is really one of the most jaw-dropping things. | ||
| I think we'll have that in the next 48 hours, but really deeply concerning that there was a protection bracket, not just for Hunter Biden. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We've chronicled that with the IRS whistleblowers, but for Hillary Clinton and her foundation. | |
| Thank you, brother. | ||
| Perfect timing in the run-up to the summit in Alaska. | ||
| Thank you, sir, John Solomon. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Good to be with you. | ||
| Paula says it's six o'clock right here on Real America's Voice. | ||
| Steve Camerado, let's go back. | ||
| I want to rewind just for a second. | ||
| This is so big. | ||
|
unidentified
|
2.2 million foreign nationals have left the country since between January and June. | |
| And of that, 1.6 million illegal alien invaders. | ||
| Talk to us about why these numbers are so jaw-dropping. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And is this because of President Trump's enforcement? | |
| I mean, what is causing this, sir? | ||
| Right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So the thing we were talking about before is just to refresh your listeners' minds, is that it's based on data the government collects, a survey. | |
| It's the same survey we get, like unemployment rates or labor force participation rates or wage growth. | ||
| It is not the survey that measures her job growth, where there was all the controversy about. | ||
| This survey is a different one. | ||
| And what it shows is this massive decline in the foreign born. | ||
| And what it likely means is that a lot fewer people came in and more people left. | ||
| Now, remember, there's always a background rate of deaths over a six-month period like this. | ||
| We would expect among the total foreign born about 150,000 deaths. | ||
| And based on previous patterns, 300 to 400,000 people would have gone home on their own. | ||
| There's lots of people always coming, but lots of people leaving at any one time. | ||
| Not tourists or anything like that. | ||
| I'm talking about people who've been here for a while because people grow old. | ||
| They decide to go back to their home country. | ||
| Some get deported. | ||
| So there's always of the total foreign born, there's always people leaving. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But what this data shows now is an explosion of people leaving and probably fewer coming as well. | |
| And that's extraordinary. | ||
| We've never seen the data show this before. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Now, there is always the possibility that people are here, but no longer responding to the survey. | |
| I discuss in the survey why I don't think that's the case. | ||
| We see it in the unweighted responses. | ||
| The survey is structured in a way that may let you test that question. | ||
| Doesn't look like that's what's happening, but that could play a role here. | ||
| So I don't want to say I can definitively say the foreign-born has declined by over 2 million and the illegal population has declined by 1.6. | ||
| But we have a lot of other evidence. | ||
| Remittances, for example, to Mexico are way down. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So hang on one second. | |
| We know it's down 60. | ||
| Hang on one second. | ||
| I want to hold you through the break because I want to ask you about the remittances, other, just anecdotal. | ||
| People tell you in Los Angeles, just anecdotal that you can feel it. | ||
| Steve Camarada, John Lott on the other side. | ||
| Meetings between judges and prosecutors. | ||
| Evidence hidden from defense attorneys, biased juries, an unaccountable prosecution force packed with political enemies, congressional leaders who are out to get the president, and a dishonest media. | ||

| Brian Glenn, Camarada is going to come back here in a second. | ||
| Brian Glenn is at the Kennedy Center. | ||
| Brian, set the stage for us in the 11 o'clock hour. | ||
| What is going to happen there, sir? | ||
| Yeah, good morning, Steve. | ||
| At around 11.15 here local time, President Trump will make another visit here at the John Kennedy Performing Arts Center. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let me step aside because just in the last few minutes, they've rolled out some stuff here. | |
| He is going to be announcing the nominees this year and pushed out on social media. | ||
| It says coming soon, a post, a country music icon, an Englishman, a New York City rock band, a dance queen, and a multi-billion dollar actor will walk into the Kennedy Center Opera House. | ||
| So I've been told just moments ago that an envelope was delivered to see who exactly that honoree would be. | ||
| President Trump obviously making another appearance here. | ||
| This is the second time that he's been here. | ||
| He was here for the opening of Les Miz, and we'll see him here in about 20-so minutes and to find out who is the honoree for this year. | ||
| Well, hang on. | ||
| The honorees, I think, are given in December. | ||
| This is the announcement day. | ||
| But, Brian, let's not forget. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is the third time. | |
| He's the first president in the history of this republic to actually go to Kennedy Center and do a building inspection. | ||
| When we went to see Amadeus with the war room crew, the staff there was raving about the first time that any president had ever come and done a thorough building inspection like he would do at Trump Tower, one of his properties, to go around and kind of say, this is what we got to do. | ||
| And they were very enthusiastic about the capital expenditures that are going to be coming to kind of get the Kennedy Center up to speed, sir. | ||
| Yeah, for very much what he did with the new Fed building. | ||
| I mean, he is all about the image. | ||
| He's about the looks. | ||
| He's about maximizing the budget. | ||
| He said he's bringing luxury back. | ||
| He's bringing class back. | ||
| And you're right. | ||
| I've talked to a couple of staff members last time, and they said they're thrilled that President Trump is bringing the arts back to this golden age. | ||
| And if anybody wants to see some future performances here, just go to thekennycenter.org. | ||
| It's got a list of things. | ||
| They've got a parade coming up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They've got the sound of music. | |
| I know that you're a big fan of the arts, Steve. | ||
| So President Trump's certainly bringing back the arts here in the golden age of his presidency. | ||
| Brian, just hang with us. | ||
| You're going to be prominent in the second hour of the show. | ||
| I want to go back to Steve. | ||
| Steve, so, you know, I'd live for 20 years on and off in the beaches of Los Angeles, the South Bay beaches. | ||
| Got a lot of friends and colleagues there. | ||
| The anecdotal information that you're hearing from out the country, particularly places like L.A., supports what you're saying. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And talk about the remittances. | |
| The remittances have always been quite controversial. | ||
| There's a free fall in the remittances, correct? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right, especially from the place we could measure it best, Mexico. | |
| We think about 40, 50% of all illegal immigrants in the United States are from Mexico. | ||
| And we see this huge decline of over 10% just in the last six months of remittances. | ||
| That is money being sent back to Mexico from people in the United States. | ||
| So that is a pretty good indication that something's happening. | ||
| You're right. | ||
| The anecdotal evidence, less shopping. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Employers say, oh, our workers are leaving. | |
| There's another government survey called JOLTS, which examines people leaving their jobs. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And we are seeing a big increase, and we don't know exactly why, because the surveys are going to tell us that, in like hospitality and food service turnover, people leaving their jobs. | |
| So that is another indication of that. | ||
| And I should point out again that we're seeing it every month in this data. | ||
| So if we had only seen it in one month, you might say, that's a fluke, something's going on. | ||
| But we see it month after month after month. | ||
| And that's a pretty strong indication that this is actually happening. | ||
| And so I think that the evidence is strong that we are seeing it. | ||
| And I think the evidence is clear that it's in response to greatly stepped up enforcement and the fact that so many fewer people are able to come illegally. | ||
| As I said, there was always people coming and going, always churn. | ||
| Now we have a dramatic reduction in new arrivals, coupled with a lot more people headed home. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Do you think the policy that's working is like the ICE raids on the employers? | |
| You see, you know, the people saying, oh, they can't go to the Costco or anything like that. | ||
| Is that what, particularly the coverage of these, is that, you believe, one of the reasons that the information is getting out there? | ||
|
unidentified
|
And folks are just saying, hey, I don't want to handle this anymore. | |
| I just want to go home. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Right. | ||
| So I think it's a combination of things. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Remember, whatever coverage you see in the English language media, it's really magnified in the foreign language media. | |
| And so it does make enforcement loom very large in the minds of people. | ||
| And it's almost certain if you wanted to be effective, going after employers, doing work site enforcement is the way to go. | ||
| I hope the administration does more and more of that. | ||
| That's the best way to reduce illegal immigration, deter it in the future, and so forth. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So I think it's a combination, both of what they're doing, but also just the way in which the media magnifies it and makes it an even bigger deal than it actually may be. | |
| And so people are like, well, look, I don't want to get caught up in this. | ||
| I was thinking about going home, but now I'm going to go home. | ||
| Or, you know, I was on the fence, but, you know, I'm going to head out. | ||
| So I do think there are a lot of people who we can encourage to, if you like the term self-deport or head home. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Steve, what's your social media? | |
| Where do people go to keep up with CIS? | ||

They could read through this whole report if they'd like. | |
| And I have caveats about this data. | ||
| I don't know that it's perfect. | ||
| You can read about that too. | ||
| And we say that right at the outset. | ||
| It is the best data we have. | ||
| It shows powerful evidence of an increase in out migration, but you can evaluate it for yourself and take a look. | ||
| And so we're available there. |
