Been listening to President Donald Trump and South Korean President Yee Jae-myung at the White House in the Oval Office, taking questions from reporters. | |
| A number of significant headlines during this first in-person meeting between Trump and his South Korean counterpart, the first since the South Korean presidential election in June. | ||
| The president calling Yee Jae-myung a friend, saying that he feels very warmly towards South Korea. | ||
| Notably, he was asked about relations between South Korea and North Korea. | ||
| Trump touting his relationship with Kim Jong-un, saying that he hopes to meet with Kim Jong-un this year, even jokingly inviting the South Korean president to attend what would be a trilateral meeting together. | ||
| Trump, very quickly, though, after he was asked about meeting Kim Jong-un, pivoting, saying that Xi Jinping would like him to go to China. | ||
| And then he talked about China giving the United States magnets in exchange for access to airplane parts and clearly trade with China, top of mind there. | ||
| The president was also asked about U.S. military presence in South Korea and what he described as a rumor about South Korean officials raiding U.S. military bases there. | ||
| The South Korean president trying to clarify that, saying that the chain of command in the South Korean military was looked into after martial law, a sort of fake martial law was installed in December. | ||
| And there were some issues in South Korean politics, to say the least, but a lot of headlines there from Trump. | ||
| So many. | ||
|

|
And he talked about denuclearization. | |
| He said Russia is willing to do it, referring to a conversation he'd had with Putin and he thinks China is too. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We have our Kimberly Dozier here. | |
| We're going to talk with her about that in a second. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That definitely needs a fact check. | |
| He also was asked about some domestic issues that we're also going to get to here, which is about the cities that he is planning to activate National Guard in. | ||
| The search on John Bolton's house by the FBI, he quickly pivoted to what he called the raid on Mar-a-Lago at his own house, as he has done before. | ||
| And then he was asked about Japan and Korea, because we should note that the Korean president is coming after a visit to Japan, which is kind of uncharacteristic. | ||
| Normally, he would come straight to the U.S. first, as his predecessors have, but because of, I guess, alliances that Japan and South Korea have with the U.S. being a little bit on less stable ground, it kind of speaks to Korea and Japan, who have certainly had their differences here in the past, kind of finding some common ground as they look to alternatives as they consider these alliances with the U.S. economically and militarily a little bit more in question than usual. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Currently, there is a fact-finding investigation by a special prosecutor that was appointed by the National Assembly. | |
| And this special prosecutor is a deranged, sick individual. | ||
| Go ahead. | ||
| Go ahead. | ||
| I'm only kidding. | ||
| Maybe I'm not. | ||
| But back to the South Korean meeting, what's going to happen behind closed doors is Trump has been talking about pulling, possibly pulling out U.S. troops unless North Korea, South Korea pays more for basing them there. | ||
| Costs about $3.5 billion to keep them there annually, about 28,000 troops. | ||
| South Korea already pays a little over a billion for it annually. | ||
| So Trump will surely be asking for a higher payment. | ||
| Problem is with those troops and the threat of bringing them back to the United States. | ||
| There literally isn't space for them to be garrisoned back in the U.S. There would have to be major construction to bring the troops and their families back to the continental U.S. | ||
| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
| Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. | ||
| Here's another free shot. | ||
| These networks are lying about the people. | ||
| The people have had a belly full of it. | ||
| I know you don't like hearing that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
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? | ||
|
unidentified
|
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. | ||
| Welcome to the War Room. | ||
| It's Monday, August 25th, in the year of our Lord 2025. | ||
| It's Natalie Winters hosting yet another historic day at the White House, frankly reverberating throughout not just the country, but the world. | ||
| Honored to be bringing you guys an extremely packed show. | ||
| And I guess without any further notice, I want to get right away to our first guest. | ||
| We got Ambassador Tan, who's become a bit of a war room regular with everything that's been going on in Korea. | ||
| I'm curious to get your thoughts on obviously the wonderful exchange we saw go down today. | ||
| But just for the audience, I want to read what President Trump's true social post was, sort of framing and teeing up this visit, which was in all caps, like he always does. | ||
| What is going on in South Korea seems like a purge or revolution. | ||
| We can't have that and do business there. | ||
| I am seeing the new president today at the White House. | ||
| Thank you for your attention to this matter. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm curious your overall assessment of what we saw go down today. | |
| And when President Trump says purge and revolution, what exactly is he talking about? | ||
| President Trump is exactly right. | ||
| There has been a revolution in South Korea where the rightful president, President Yoon, was impeached and removed, even though he was exercising his constitutional powers by, I add, very peaceably, to get at the heart of election fraud in South Korea. | ||
| And then he was removed by the Constitutional Court of South Korea. | ||
| And then there was another fraudulent election. | ||
| There have been a whole series of them in South Korea that put Ejim Young in power. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And E. Jim Young is purging and persecuting those who should have been rightfully in power and those who are supporting President Yoon. | |
| And so if you go to a website, for example, criminalyun.com, you have about 800 people who are allegedly insurrectionists. | ||
| But last I checked, President Yoon, as the rightful president of South Korea, did not perform insurrection against himself. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And yet they are framing this. | |
| The Ejim Young administration is framing this as an insurrection. | ||
| And they are trying to, and they rank each of the people on that website on a scale of one to 10. | ||
| They are systematically going after these people. | ||
| And it is, as Trump also indicated, there has also been multiple raids against major churches in South Korea, including the largest church in the world, the Yoi Full Gospel Church, | ||
| against the Suon Central Baptist Church, the largest Baptist church in the world, pastored by Pastor Billy Kim, who was Billy Graham's translator back when there was an over a million person gathering in Yoido Plaza. | ||
| He is called Billy Graham of Korea. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There was also a raid against Pastor Sun of a church, a major church in Busan, Korea. | |
| He was the head of the Save Korea movement. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Also, a raid against Pastor Jun, who has been also a major political figure in rallying people around President Yoon and fighting against the leftist radicals who are trying to communize, trying to communize South Korea, trying to make it aligned with North Korea and the Chinese Communist Party. | |
| And this is all happening. | ||
| And I was so excited to see President Trump's true social message because that's telling me that he is getting some accurate intelligence, is finally getting through to him, and that he is taking a stand in regards to this. | ||
| He even was saying how that he's not going to do business with a regime like this. | ||
| And yet you have this President Yee Jim Young, who is a fake and illegitimate president, lying and flattering and fawning all over President Trump in an attempt to survive politically, whereas there have been massive demonstrations of protests against him. | ||
| It's estimated over 13 million people in South Korea gathered on August 16th. | ||
| And even today, reportedly over 10 million people gathered to protest his illegitimate regime and the communization of Korea that is happening at rapid speed under his oppressive and repressive regime. | ||
| But we are seeing indications that the president is receiving intelligence, as he alluded to, that is finally giving him this sort of information. | ||
| And he is putting his foot down. | ||
| I very much would like to know what happened in the closed door portion of the meeting, but I think there was enough that was indicated by President Trump beforehand to let people know that he's aware that these sorts of things are happening and are happening at a very rapid pace. | ||
| I think there's kind of a sick and twisted, almost irony in right, obviously the Korean side of things trying to kiss up and flatter become sycophants to President Trump by talking about a lot of the ways that he was persecuted, really using the same weaponization tactics that I think we're seeing being rolled out now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm just curious, when you talk about these radical leftists, obviously the outputs of the political system sound eerily similar to what we've witnessed here, even down to the level of diction, right? | |
| Branding people as insurrectionists. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But is this because you think in some cases the sort of enemy or whoever is sort of behind a lot of this opposition in some ways is similar to what we face here, i.e., all roads often leading to the Chinese Communist Party or foreign malign influence. | |
| Do you think that the threat that or the kind of hidden hand that China is trying to extend here, do you think that that is making it to President Trump's ear? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, it's utterly sickening and disgusting, as you're pointing out. | |
| And the CCP is very actively involved in interfering in South Korea. | ||
| North Korea is very actively involved in interfering in South Korea. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That includes cyber attacks. | |
| That includes election interference. | ||
| That includes sending a large number of CCP operatives and North Korean operatives and agents into South Korea. | ||
| And so these things are happening on a major scale. | ||
| You know, what also needs to be realized is that Ejim Young was the governor of Kyongi Province when, according to the Michael Lindell lawsuit about the 2020 election, that there was a deletion of 6,432 Trump votes in Antrim County, Michigan. | ||
| And so this is something that's actually very much interconnected and parallel to what's happening in the U.S. and these similar and actually same line actors who are involved. | ||
| There was also a Korean air flight that was sent to Arizona that was loaded with fake IDs and people who would vote illegitimately against President Trump. | ||
| And what also needs to be realized is you have a center for enabling election fraud called AWEB that's located, ironically enough, in South Korea, where they have sent the means of election fraud to over 50 countries around the world. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| This was sponsored by USAID and the National Election Commission, which is the center of election fraud in South Korea, was also sponsored by USAID, which Trump has thankfully dismantled. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But you also have two key figures in the Chinese Communist Party who were behind these things: Wang Huning, who is one of the top leaders in the Chinese Communist Party, and Han Fan Ming, who was the key operational person in regards to the election fraud that has been happening repeatedly now in South Korea. | |
| And they are calling this, oh, election fraud conspiracy. | ||
| Well, just like people who are saying know that Donald Trump won the 2020 election, if you look with respect to E. Jim Young, you look at his inauguration, it looks like there's hardly anyone there. | ||
| You look at these massive protests. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Look, South Korea has about 52 million people. | |
| And so if we're talking about over 13 million, we're talking about like a quarter of the South Korean population. | ||
| And E Jim Young had to try to have this rival gathering on August 15th, trying to establish and consolidate his power and try to burnish his legitimacy. | ||
| It was much, much smaller. | ||
| And so you also look at the polls. | ||
| The Korean people are overwhelmingly pro-American and overwhelmingly anti-Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| We're talking about numbers around 90% and 80%, respectively, according to the Pew Center polling along these lines. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It makes absolutely no sense that this criminal gangster noticed. | |
| We're against a break, but I want to hold you through because the convergence here really is, I think, the fight itself, shall we say. | ||
| We're imposse. | ||
| We got a pack show. | ||
| We'll be right back after this short break. | ||

| Is the continued divide between Trump and the Federal Reserve putting us behind the curve again? | ||
| Can the Fed take the right action at the right time, or are we going to be looking at a potential economic slowdown? | ||
|
unidentified
|
And what does this mean for your savings? | |
| Consider diversifying with gold through Birch Gold Group. | ||
|
unidentified
|
For decades, gold has been viewed as a safe haven in times of economic stagnation, global uncertainty, and high inflation. | |
| And Birch Gold makes it incredibly easy for you to diversify some of your savings into gold. | ||
| If you have an IRA or old 401k, you can easily convert that into a tax-sheltered IRA in physical gold, or just buy some gold to keep in your safe. | ||
| First, get educated. | ||
| Birch Gold will even send you a free info kit on gold. | ||
| Just text Bannon to the number 989898. | ||
| Again, that's Bannon to 989898. | ||
| Consider diversifying a portion of your savings into gold. | ||
| That way, if the Fed can't stay ahead of the curve for the country, at least you can stay ahead for yourself. | ||
| Welcome back to the war room. | ||
| We are still joined by Ambassador Tan. | ||
| I understand you got a few more kind of important, I think, checkpoints for our audience to be staying ahead of the curve on, but also the Trump administration too. | ||
| Just give us, I guess, maybe your sort of final assessment of what we saw today and what we need to also be staying tuned and looking out for. | ||
| Yes, so President Trump was on to the fact that the Ejen Young administration baited the largest air base that the U.S. has in Korea, is the Osan Air Base. | ||
| And they were going to the command and control center without permission, which they need to ask according to the status of forces agreement, much less notifying the U.S. | ||
| This is unacceptable. | ||
| And President Trump is on to that as well, which is very important. | ||
| Also, he should know that Ejen-myung bribed North Korea to the tune of $8 million against U.S. sanctions. | ||
| Furthermore, why is it that all these people die around Ejen Myung when they're about to testify about his crimes? | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is a criminal gangster that is being dealt, not only as the head of North Korea, but also the head of South Korea. | |
| Now you have two criminal gangsters beating North Korea and South Korea, respectively. | ||
| And so it would be very important for President Trump to take strong, robust, decisive action. | ||
| And this could, at its best, lead to, in the midst of this crisis of the communization of South Korea, you could potentially see the reunification of the Koreas happen. | ||
| And I think there's a golden opportunity for President Trump to step into this crisis situation and to make history, to reunify the Koreas. | ||
| But in order to do so, he needs to deal with the criminal gangsters beating both North and South Korea. | ||
| Ambassador Tan, thank you so much for joining us. | ||
| I know the audience is going to want to stay up to date with everything you've got going on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Where can they get access to you, your analysis in the meantime, before we have you back on? | |
| I'm on Facebook, Vorstan. | ||
| I'm on X, Vorst H Tan, and also. | ||
| Thank you, sir, so much for joining us. | ||
| We appreciate it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I want to go to our next guest, that is William Thibault of the CRA. | |
| You're a visiting fellow there, I guess, linking this to the discussion that we're having, which I think the core of it is the idea instead of outsourcing and really hemorrhaging America's broader military defense to support meaningless conflicts in Eastern Europe over, you know, territorial disputes about accents and dialects and languages, we should be focusing on the threat itself, which is the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| Washington obviously loves to talk tough about China. | ||
| they say China is the bipartisan issue. | ||
| I think it's because everyone agrees that they know if they act like China is the real threat, they can extract billions, if not trillions of dollars in defense spending out of it, right, with nothing to really show for it, i.e., the military-industrial complex. | ||
| And it seems like they're up to their old tricks with the NDAA. | ||
| You've been watching it like a hawk. | ||
| Can you sort of break down these ongoing negotiations and what we're being teed up for to essentially kneecap President Trump? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely. | |
| And thanks so much for having me. | ||
| Let's keep in mind that the Senate and eventually the House are going to want to pass this supposedly must-pass legislation as fast as possible. | ||
| If the calendar holds, the Senate is going to try and pass the NDA September 2nd, first day back from a long August recess. | ||
| They're not going to want protracted fights over amendments. | ||
| They're not going to try and make this the chance to add language or other provisions. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This came out of the Senate Armed Services Committee, and they're going to try and get it across the Senate floor before we're really able to reset from August recess. | |
| And that's troubling because we've already seen what's come out of the Senate Armed Services Committee. | ||
| There are some good provisions, and credit to the committee and even Chairman Wicker for including these. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They codified bans on consideration of race for service academy admissions. | |
| There are a number of other provisions that go a long way to curbing DEI initiatives, but I think any observer can understand that they have to do a lot more. | ||
| Let's talk DEI first. | ||
| I mean, the President Biden Pentagon had all-wide military race quotas and sex quotas for all DOD civilians and service members in uniform. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Completely objectionable, completely absurd. | |
| And Congress should take the fact that Republicans have majorities in the House and Senate to bury them and to bury that kind of possibility for future presidents of either party. | ||
| There's no place for that in the military. | ||
| And we should act like we're in the majority in the Senate and House and make sure it never returns. | ||
| But I think some of the concerning provisions to me are those that really kneecap the president's ability to make foreign policy decisions for our nation. | ||
| There is a Ukraine's security fund in this bill that mandates at least $500 million of indefinite annual spending to Ukraine. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Now, maybe we come to do that in a genuine democratic process, but I think we all understand that the president should have the authority to execute such foreign policy decisions. | |
| The NDA cannot be the venue by which the regime, the UNI party, shoves down foreign policy visions down MAGA's throat, down President Trump's throat. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Similarly, there's provisions that force President Trump to keep 76,000 troops in Europe, no matter what the geopolitical environment looks like throughout 2026. | |
| And to your point, Natalie, I mean, we don't know what will be required of the U.S. military in the Pacific, but the president needs the ability to exercise the just application of U.S. military power wherever he sees fit. | ||
| There cannot be congressional dictates of things like troop levels and military assistance to other countries in the NDA because, again, the president is the commander in chief. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I remember I've looked at some of these grants for Ukraine aid to go into the big defense contractors, and they're essentially authorized through the year like 2033. | |
| It's like several terms of presidents that's campaigning not just 2028, but post-2032. | ||
| What is the deep state, right, from like a government database perspective? | ||
| I'm just curious, is a lot of the pushback to this, is it primarily coming from Democrats or is this something that you're seeing establishment Republicans side with them too? | ||
| I think this is a bipartisan effort to kneecap President Trump's agenda. | ||
| The NDA, again, is seen as must-pass legislation. | ||
| If you ask anyone in the Senate, you know, 90% of think tank officials around town, you have to pass the NDA. | ||
| I think it's passed every year for almost 60 years in a row. | ||
| That's not a law. | ||
| That's not in the Constitution, but it is a way for special interests, the military-industrial complex, and too many other others who want to, again, kneecap the president. | ||
| It's a way for them to get provisions into law that make it harder for the America First Movement to manifest throughout the country, throughout our foreign policy, and to be a permanent force in American law. | ||
| That should be the vision of the NDA. | ||
| We should permanently end DEI in the military. | ||
| We should permanently ensure that it is not just defense primes who get government contracts, but the NDA should be the venue through which we guarantee that innovative startups led by veterans get the opportunity to serve the nation again through innovative and flexible contracting methods. | ||
| Again, these are things that President Trump and Secretary Hexeth have already done, but there's the chance to make this victory real. | ||
| There's a chance to make this victory permanent. | ||
| And I fear that we're going to miss out on that opportunity. | ||
| And there's even a chance that some really dangerous provisions stick through conference committee between the House and the Senate and then actually become law. | ||
| I think as a movement, we need to be willing to say that we won't support the passage of an NDA if it is a bad bill. | ||
| If it's a bad bill, we should give those aligned in Congress the credence, the resources, and the support to know that they can vote no. | ||
| And our military won't fall apart. | ||
| The president's agenda won't fall apart. | ||
| The NDA doesn't have to pass. | ||
| It also doesn't have to be perfect, but it shouldn't make the political victories for which we have fought so hard that President Trump, Secretary Hexeth are already initiating. | ||
| It shouldn't make those that much harder. | ||
| That's kind of the vision, even on this condensed timeline, even with the broad coalition we have to stitch together. | ||
| That's the vision that should orient us in the coming four to six weeks. | ||
| Well, if people want to follow you, get all your analysis, where can they go? | ||
| Yeah, at William Thibault on X. I've written widely for The American Mind, Claremont Review of Books, The Daily Caller. | ||
| Those are great outlets that feature a lot of our work. | ||
| So I'd appreciate it. | ||
| Thank you, sir, for joining us. | ||
| We'll have you back on. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Just a real quick message before we go to break. | ||
| Then we've got Laura Loomer and Christina. | ||
| Bob, maybe you missed the last IRS deadline or you haven't filed taxes in a while. | ||
| Let me be clear, the IRS is cracking down harder than ever and this won't go away on its own. | ||
| That's why you need Tax Network USA. | ||
| They don't just know the IRS. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They have a preferred direct line to the IRS. | |
| They know which agents to deal with and which to avoid. | ||
| Their expert negotiators have one goal, settle your tax problems quickly and in your favor. | ||
| That is taxnetworkusa.com, 1-800-958-1000. | ||
| We'll be right back. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||

| Can the Fed take the right action at the right time or are we going to be looking at a potential economic slowdown? | ||

|
unidentified
|
That way, if the Fed can't stay ahead of the curve for the country, at least you can stay ahead for yourself. | |
| Welcome back to the war room. | ||
| We are joined by one of President Trump's, I think, fiercest legal fighters on all fronts. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I definitely want to get her thoughts on President Trump's recent mail-in ballot EO and talking about, like I always say, all the adjectives he used to describe the voting machines, but that is none other than Christina Bob, who joins us now. | |
| But like we always say every day over at the White House, they're always operating full spectrum dominance firing at all cylinders. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There's another slew of EOs out today on flag burning, cashless bail, you name it. | |
| So I just wanted to have you sort of walk us through what exactly is coming out of the White House today and your thoughts on them. | ||
| Yeah, it's a great day in Donald Trump's America. | ||
| You know, when they first came out, I was like, oh, that's great. | ||
| I'm happy that they're ending cashless bail and all that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But when I actually read the EOs, Donald Trump is not messing around. | |
| He is cleaning up DC. | ||
| He's trying to clean up the rest of the country. | ||
| And these EOs came out with so much meat in them. | ||
| I had to write it down because I didn't want to leave anything out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But the American flag, burning the American flag, Donald Trump hates it. | |
| He always has. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There's a case called Texas v. Johnson, which is from the 1984 Republican National Convention, where someone was protesting the Reagan administration and burned a flag in protest. | |
| Basically, there was no crime, there was no violence, there was no threat of violence. | ||
| And ultimately, he was convicted, appealed to the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court decided that burning the flag as symbolic speech is protected free speech. | ||
| And so we have not prosecuted flag burning. | ||
| Well, this EO says that anybody who's burning a flag for the purpose of inciting violence is going to be prosecuted. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because if you're doing it in an area or in a situation that could cause harm to others, we're not going to consider that symbolic speech and you will be prosecuted. | |
| They're also going to look into other crimes that can be prosecuted along with it, such as civil disobedience, disorderly conduct, open burning regulations or restrictions, destruction of property. | ||
| So they're going full force on this. | ||
| The other aspect of this particular EO that I think is wonderful is they will revoke your visa. | ||
| If you are here on some type of immigrant status or resident permit, you will have your visa revoked. | ||
|
unidentified
|
If you are burning American flags, your natural naturalization proceedings will be withdrawn and there will be other immigration benefits that are taken from you. | |
| If you burn the flag, don't come here, burn our Flag and expect to reap all the benefits that this country, this amazing country provides. | ||
| No, you come here, you respect our country. | ||
| Otherwise, we're sending you back. | ||
| That's what the flag-burning EO says, which I'm thrilled with. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The next one is additional measures to address crime emerging in D.C. | |
| This is an extension. | ||
| He's already come out and said, you know, he's trying to clean up D.C. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is another aspect of it. | |
| He hits it hard. | ||
| He basically tasks, I mean, you can't say every cabinet member, but he goes through his cabinet on this EO to task the Secretary of Defense, the Attorney General, the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Secretary of the Interior, the park police, saying we want more park police, we want prosecutors, we want to focus on violence and crimes and property crimes. | ||
| And we want the Secretary of Defense to increase the National Guard. | ||
| We want the Attorney General to increase prosecutors, meaning hiring more people to bring them on to make sure that these crimes are prosecuted. | ||
| HUD, Housing and Urban Development, this is another one that I thought was really, really kind of genius on Donald Trump's part. | ||
| Is if you are a landlord in Washington, D.C., and you receive federal funding, like Section 8 or some type of housing stipend from the federal government for your property to be a landlord, you have in your contract, you have crime restrictions and you have obligations to ensure that there are not crimes taking place on your property. | ||
| He has instructed HUD, the Secretary of HUD, and the director of HUD to basically investigate and make sure that the people who are receiving federal funding are not, or they are abiding by their requirements to prevent crime. | ||
| And if they're not, not only could they lose their contract, meaning they lose their funding, but he's instructed them to refer them basically for criminal prosecution to the Attorney General for whatever crimes are involved. | ||
| And then, of course, the ending cashless bail. | ||
| He wants Pam Bondi to do an examination across the states, figure out which states have effectively ended cashless or castless bail, cashless bail. | ||
| And then he's directed OMB, once that assessment comes in in about 30 days, OMB needs to redirect funds away from those communities. | ||
| So he has come out with some really significant, hard-hitting changes that I think will probably have a lot of Democrats upset. | ||
| And Christine, I'm curious your thoughts on the EO that he put out about mail-in ballots. | ||
| Do you think that that addresses the root of the issue? | ||
| Well, I think Donald Trump is doing everything he can to address mail-in ballots, and I applaud the EO. | ||
| I think it's great. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The reality is that we would have an end, mail-in ballots would be over if Republicans actually did their jobs and wanted to end it. | |
| The reason we still have a problem with mail-in ballots is 100% because of Republicans. | ||
| Republicans could end this and they have chosen not to. | ||
| So Donald Trump is doing what he can to try to curb the use of mail-in ballots. | ||
| And I think it's great, but I think we can't look away from the fact that the House and the Senate are run by Republicans. | ||
| We have a majority of Republicans in every legislature. | ||
| There's, you know, over half of the House and Senate at the state level are Republican. | ||
| Attorney Generals have a majority Republican, governors, majority Republican. | ||
| So we could solve this problem, but Republicans have chosen not to. | ||
| So Donald Trump is using whatever power he has to curb that. | ||
| So I think it's good, but he shouldn't be doing this by himself. | ||
| I should say he shouldn't have to do this by himself. | ||
| It seems like it's that way with basically every issue, right? | ||
| But you're preaching acquiring the war and we get it, but we're very grateful for people like you who have taken up the mantle and the fight. | ||
| If people want to stay up to date with everything you're working on, writing all that stuff, where can they go to do that? | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Well, my book comes out, Defiant Inside the Mar-a-Lago Raid and the Left's Ongoing Law Fair Forward by Donald Trump. | ||
| This is the inside story of the Mar-a-Lago Raid. | ||
| That's available for pre-sale now on Amazon. | ||
| You can check it out. | ||
| Audio version will be available September 9th. | ||

| We'll have you back on soon. | ||
| Congrats on the book. | ||

|
Thank you. | |
| Of course. | ||
| More important posse, we got one more guest who always breaks stories that I always like to say. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm shocked and my jaw drops, but it's also the kind of thing where you also totally come to expect it, certainly from the Biden regime. | |
| And for those of us who have been keen on paying attention to the Islamic infiltration of this country, I think it comes as no surprise. | ||
| But even this one got me a little shocked. | ||
| Laura Loomer, Islamic foot washing stations at the State Department under Joe Biden, even worse, the people who were involved in it are still there. | ||
| Can you walk us through your latest scoop? | ||
| Yeah, thanks so much for having me on. | ||
| So as you know, one of the things that I've been doing is trying to root out and identify disloyal and communists and Islamist staffers or employees within the federal government who somehow are still working in the Trump administration, despite their ideological differences and their animosity towards President Trump or their desire to just completely destroy our country. | ||
| And, you know, several of these individuals who I've identified within the State Department are, you know, Islamic. | ||
| They are pushing for the Islamification of the U.S. State Department. | ||
| They are expressing sympathies for Hamas, very, you know, pro-Hamas, pro-Palestinian viewpoints. | ||
| We just saw the scandal last week that I exposed where you have State Department employees abusing the U.S. visa program by issuing visas to Gazans and their family members under the guise of medical humanitarian missions when really, if you look at the videos, it was just massive amounts of Muslim family members coming in, which is chain migration. | ||
| And so what I've discovered is there is an organization that was created two days after January 6th. | ||
| And that, of course, is January 8th, 2021, the day that Donald Trump was deplatformed on all social media. | ||
| So they tried to sneak in towards the end of the Trump administration, going into the Biden administration called American Muslims and Friends at State, at the State Department, of course, AMFAS. | ||
| And they are an anti-Trump, pro-Islamist, Muslim employee organization at the State Department. | ||
| And they are pushing for the Islamification of the United States State Department. | ||
| I was digging through some of their initiatives and some of the things that they've accomplished under the Biden administration. | ||
| And, you know, they're still in existence even under the current Trump administration. | ||
| And several of these initiatives include ablution capability within the bathrooms of the State Department. | ||
| Ablution capability is just a fancy way of saying foot washing stations. | ||
| They want to have foot washing stations, Natalie, inside the bathrooms at State Department. | ||
| And this is something that the Biden administration obliged them with. | ||
| So now we have foot washing stations for Muslims at the United States State Department in addition to prayer rooms. | ||
| And there's an individual in particular who works within this organization. | ||
| And I just exposed her. | ||
| And what's kind of crazy about it is her name is Maria Ilias, right? | ||
| That's how you pronounce her name, I guess. | ||
|
unidentified
|
She's a Pakistani Islamic immigrant and Trump hater who works at the United States State Department. | |
| She has now transitioned over to being an economic officer for the Economic and Social Affairs Division at the U.S. Mission to the United Nations, which falls under the State Department. | ||
| Why do I bring this up? | ||
| Well, she comes from Harvard and she is an Islamic immigrant working within the United States State Department who served as the co-chair to this organization, American Muslims and Friends at State. | ||
| And I found articles online, Natalie, in which she is, you know, personally taking credit for her leadership role at State Department, working with AMFS, AMFAS, this American Muslims and Friends at State, where she pushed for the Islamic foot washing stations. | ||
| And you have to ask yourself, Natalie, why are people like this still working in the Trump administration? | ||
| This woman has penned articles criticizing Donald Trump for his Islamic travel ban, saying that, you know, oh, well, we would never see a Christian, a Christian service be canceled. | ||
| Well, yeah, that's because the United States of America is a Christian country. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And these Muslims, Natalie, who work in our government, they use their positions to Islamify our nation. | |
| People might think that it sounds innocent. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, you know, just allow the Muslims to have a prayer room, right? | |
| And then they use their prayer room to start pushing for feet washing stations. | ||
| Then they want to have their Ramadan dinners and their iftars. | ||
| And, you know, she actually was able, this employee who I exposed today, she was able to introduce Anthony Blinken at the State Department's Iftar last year, Natalie. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And we know that Anthony Blinken was, you know, undermining our foreign policy. | |
| He's been accused of being sympathetic towards Hamas. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's been accused of eroding our relationship with Israel. | |
| And you really just have to ask yourself, at what point is the Trump administration going to issue an executive mandate ordering the firing of all of these Islamic and communist holdovers from the Biden and Obama era? | ||
| How do we expect to make America great again when we still have all of these nefarious actors working within government agencies, especially within the United States State Department? | ||
| Yeah, I mean, I think anyone who thinks this stuff is just some random boilerplate cultural sensitivities, I would suggest that they look up the history of Islam, its expansion, and the concept of a caliphate, because I think you hit the nail on the head, Laura. | ||
| This isn't just, you know, a new strand of wokeness or accommodating, frankly, cultures that really don't accommodate us all that well in the West. | ||
| I don't think you or I would be welcomed that much there. | ||
| Laura, got some more questions for you. | ||
| We'll be right back. | ||
| more in posse after the short break here's your host stephen k van If you're a homeowner, you need to listen to this. | ||

| Welcome back to the boardroom. | ||
| We are still joined by the intrepid Laura Lumer. | ||
| Laura, sort of picking up where we left off, but I am curious. | ||
| I hear, you know, you're the new McCarthy according to what is a wonderful glowing, I'm sure it was supposed to be a hip piece, but nice profile of you over in the Atlantic magazine. | ||
| But it's sort of an interesting, I think, limited hangout that they're doing of what your work is, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
If only the problem were just Trump loyalists, I think that's sort of a cheap way of looking at what you do. | |
| We're talking about like full-blown Islamic infiltration of the United States. | ||
|
unidentified
|
State Department, where last time I checked those same cultural sensitivities, are not extended to Americans in the inverse of the relationship. | |
| Can you just sort of walk us through, again, what it seems like you're always on here about, obviously, Sergio Gore out at PPO? | ||
| It seems like he's heading over to India. | ||
| Great pick. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But your thoughts on directionally where you think that office needs to go, if you would run it, or who you think potential good candidates could be? | |
| Well, I would love to run the office of PPO if given the opportunity. | ||
| I fully support President Trump. | ||
| And look, I obviously wanted to work in the Trump administration. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I would be happy to serve the president in any capacity. | |
| But I've been saying from the beginning, not just since President Trump was inaugurated, but also during the campaign trail, there's clearly a vetting crisis. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And they need to have people who are going to be focused on research and focused on vetting. | |
| And congratulations to Sergio Gore, who is now the nominee for ambassador to India. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But from my understanding, that's not going to happen for several months, not at least till probably end of December or even January, from what I've been told. | |
| So it's not like it's going to be an immediate switch up. | ||
| And in the meantime, I think that the White House would be wise to start, you know, bolstering their vetting operations or maybe even consider creating another government agency focused on vetting. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It doesn't have to require a large budget. | |
| You know, when I say the creation of another agency, some people may be thinking, oh, no, we don't need another expansion of government. | ||
| But we do need to have a department focused on research and vetting because, you know, look, we're eight months into this administration, Natalie. | ||
| It's not like it's a screw-up one month in, two months in, or maybe even three months in. | ||
| We're eight months in. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And these types of act, I don't even want to call them accidents, right? | |
| These types of screw-ups should not be happening. | ||
| It's no longer a glitch. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It appears to be a feature. | |
| And so, again, my question is, why wasn't there a mandate issued on day one ordering the firing of all Biden and Obama holdovers? | ||
| We saw in the aftermath of J6, Joe Biden fired everybody who worked in the Trump administration. | ||
| Every single person who worked in the Trump administration was fired. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And they said, oh, well, we can't trust you to work in the government if you worked under the administration of Donald Trump because you might be an insurrectionist. | |
| Well, why can't the Trump administration say we can't trust you to work under our administration because we think that you might be a communist or an Islamist supporter or a sympathizer with Hamas? | ||
| I mean, this is a legitimate national security threat. | ||
| And we're not making this up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I know that the Atlantic said that I'm the new McCarthy of the Trump era because I'm carrying out my own red scare. | |
| Well, guess what? | ||
| McCarthy was right. | ||
| Joseph McCarthy was right about everything. | ||
| He was right about the communist infiltration of our government. | ||
| And we need to have some type of committee in Congress to go after un-American act. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Probably agrees. | |
| Look today, the executive order to prosecute flag burning. | ||
| That is an example of an un-American activity. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And maybe if we had a committee in Congress that prosecuted people or suggested or referred people for prosecution years ago when it was first flagged by McCarthy, we wouldn't be in this position that we're in today where all of our institutions are infiltrated and being run by communists and Islamists who hate America and want to see a caliphate in our country. | |
| Laura, we've only got a few minutes left, but I'm curious, could you expand a little bit on what you think the creation of some new agents or whatever it would be, but just sort of flesh that out for the audience? | ||
| Because I think that that's something they would fully support. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There should be a department within the federal government, or maybe it's in every single agency, right? | |
| You have you have the Department of Defense, right? | ||
| You have the Department of Education, you have the State Department, you have the White House Office of Personnel. | ||
| I think that every single office, you know, Department of Homeland Security, IRS, every single agency should have their own office focused on vetting, where it's a dedicated group of researchers who sit there and their job each day is just to make sure that everybody within those departments are, you know, they are loyal. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They are not subverting the administration. | |
| They are not undermining the president. | ||
| A department of researchers to monitor the social media accounts and monitor the professional activity of every single employee of the federal government to make sure that our taxpayer dollars are not being spent on partisan officials who are pushing communism or un-American activities or Islamism. | ||
| I don't understand why this hasn't already been done. | ||
| Because, you know, look, we have Sergio Gore in the office of PPO. | ||
| He's PPO director. | ||
| He's going to India now. | ||
| Are we to believe that one person is supposed to be responsible for overseeing the entire federal government? | ||
| No, it's unrealistic. | ||
| They need to have an entire department or they need to allocate staff to every single department within the federal government and then have one person who oversees all of those people. | ||
| Because look, there's thousands of people who work within the federal government. | ||
| And while, you know, there are some very egregious examples that have been pointed out for years of people who should have been fired or people who are problems still working in the administration, there's people who are more hidden, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
And this is why you have to have an entire team of people who are laser-focused on rooting these people out. | |
| I don't think that it's a one-person job. | ||
| I think that you could have a PPO director who oversees all of the researchers or the designated vetors within every single government agency. | ||
| But if we're going to have a department of government efficiency, why don't we have a department of government vetting? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I like it. | |
| Department of Government vetting. | ||
| Maybe we'll come up with a better, a better acronym until then, Laura. | ||
|
unidentified
|
People want to follow you. | |
| I volunteer to be the official vetting czar. | ||
| I will be the vetting czar. | ||
| I think you already are. | ||
