It's not their fault. | |
| It's not your fault. | ||
| As foolish and reckless as the woke department was, those officers were following elected political leadership. | ||
| An entire generation of generals and admirals were told that they must parrot the insane fallacy that, quote, our diversity is our strength. | ||
| Of course, we know our unity is our strength. | ||
| They had to put out dizzying DEI and LGBTQI plus statements. | ||
| They were told females and males are the same thing, or that males who think they're females totally normal. | ||
| They were told that we need a green fleet and electric tanks. | ||
| They were told to kick out Americans who refuse an emergency vaccine. | ||
| They followed civilian policies set by foolish and reckless political leaders. | ||
| Any place where tried and true physical standards were altered, especially since 2015 when combat arms standards were changed to ensure females could qualify, must be returned to their original standard. | ||
| Other standards have been manipulated to hit racial quotas as well, which is just as unacceptable. | ||
| This too must end. | ||
|

|
Merit only. | |
| The President talks about it all the time, merit-based. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But today, at my direction, every member of the Joint Force at every rank is required to take a PT test twice a year, as well as meet height and weight requirements twice a year. | |
| Every year of service. | ||
| Also, today, at my direction, every warrior across our joint force is required to do PT every duty day. | ||
| Should be common sense. | ||
| I mean, most units do that already, but we're codifying it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And we're not talking like hot yoga and stretching. | |
| Real hard PT, either as a unit or as an individual. | ||
| At every level, from the Joint Chiefs to everyone in this room to the youngest private, leaders set the standard. | ||
| And so many of you do this already. | ||
| Active Guard and Reserve. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This also means grooming standards. | |
| No more beards, long hair, superficial individual expression. | ||
| We're going to cut our hair, shave our beards, and adhere to standards. | ||
| Because it's like the broken windows theory of policing. | ||
| It's like when you let the small stuff go, the big stuff eventually goes. | ||
| So you have to address the small stuff. | ||
| This is on duty in the field and in the rear. | ||
| If you want a beard, you can join special forces. | ||
|
unidentified
|
If not, then shave. | |
| We don't have a military full of Nordic pagans. | ||
| But unfortunately, we have had leaders who either refused to call BS and enforce standards, or leaders who felt like they were not allowed to enforce standards. | ||
| Both are unacceptable. | ||
| And that's why today, at my direction, the era of unprofessional appearance is over. | ||
| No more beardos. | ||
| The era of rampant and ridiculous shaving profiles is done. | ||
| Simply put, if you do not meet the male-level physical standards for combat positions, cannot pass a PT test, or don't want to shave and look professional, it's time for a new position or a new profession. | ||
| You have seen, and the media has obsessed over, I have fired a number of senior officers since taking over. | ||
| The previous chairman, other members of the Joint Chiefs, combatant commanders, and other commanders. | ||
| The rationale for me has been straightforward. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's nearly impossible to change a culture with the same people who helped create or even benefited from that culture. | |
| Even if that culture was created by a previous president and previous secretary. | ||
| My approach has been simple. | ||
| When in doubt, assess the situation, follow your gut, and if it's the best for the military, make a change. | ||
| We all serve at the pleasure of the president every single day. | ||
| I don't want my son serving alongside troops who are out of shape, or in combat unit with females who can't meet the same combat arms physical standards as men, or troops who are not fully proficient on their assigned weapons platform or task, or under a leader who was the first but not the best. | ||
| Standards must be uniform, gender neutral, and high. | ||
|
unidentified
|
For too long, we've promoted too many uniform leaders for the wrong reasons. | |
| Based on their race, based on gender quotas, based on historic so-called firsts. | ||
| We've pretended that combat arms and non-combat arms are the same thing. | ||
| We've weeded out so-called toxic leaders under the guise of double-blind psychology assessments, promoting risk-averse go-along to get-along conformists instead. | ||
| You name it, the department did it. | ||
| Foolish and reckless political leaders set the wrong compass heading, and we lost our way. | ||
| We became the woke department, but not anymore. | ||
| Right now, I'm looking out at a sea of Americans who made a choice when they were young men and young women to do something most Americans will not. | ||
| To serve something greater than yourself, to fight for God and country, for freedom and the Constitution. | ||
| You made a choice to serve when others did not. | ||
| And I commend you. | ||
| You are truly the best of America. | ||
| This administration has done a great deal from day one to remove the social justice, politically correct, and toxic ideological garbage that had infected our department, to rip out the politics. | ||
| No more identity months, DEI offices, dudes in dresses. | ||
| No more climate change worship. | ||
| No more division, distraction, or gender delusions. | ||
| No more debris. | ||
| As I've said before and will say again, we are done with that. | ||
| Should our enemies choose foolishly to challenge us, they will be crushed by the violence, precision, and ferocity of the War Department. | ||
| In other words, to our enemies, FAFO. | ||
| If necessary, our troops can translate that for you. | ||
| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
| Pray for our enemies, because we're going to medieval on these people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Here's not got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people. | |
| The people have had a belly full of it. | ||
| I know you don't like hearing that. | ||
| I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
| It's going to happen. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And where do people like that go to share the big lie? | |
| MAGA Media. | ||
| I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. | ||
| Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? | ||
| If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. | ||
| Waru, here's your host, Stephen K. Battle. | ||
| It's Tuesday, 30 September in the year of our Lord 2025. | ||
| I want to bring you, we got a gunfighter and we have one of the top, I think, defense intellectuals. | ||
| So I got Dr. Bradley Thayer. | ||
| Got the Taj Gill. | ||
| Taj, as a guy who is the tip of the tip of the spear, and as they said in there, I thought that was appropriate. | ||
| If you want to grow a beard and grow your hair, join special force, become a Navy SEAL or join special forces. | ||
| How did you do it? | ||
| Listen, this is historic. | ||
| They've got every flag officer throughout the world in all the combatant commands, all the headquarters, all the administrative guys. | ||
| They're all back at Quantico to hear the Secretary of War, Pete Hagseth, followed by the Commander-in-Chief. | ||
| So you're sitting there listening. | ||
| One, as an enlisted man, and two, if you were a flag officer, what's your assessment of this? | ||
| This is awesome. | ||
| I think this is exactly the kind of leadership that the Department of War, you know, formerly the Department of Defense needs. | ||
| It's the rebranding of the Department of War. | ||
| This is awesome. | ||
| This is incredible. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Everything from, you know, FRM, find out from our enemies to the PT standards to the standards for the warfighters that were changed back in 2015. | |
| You know, they actually lowered all the standards to let women into the combat units. | ||
| So there should be one standard. | ||
|
unidentified
|
If you can do it, you can do it fine. | |
| It doesn't matter who you are. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's everything should be merit-based in the Department of War. | |
| Everything merit-based across the board. | ||
| Doesn't matter who you are. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You're eligible for everything. | |
| You just have to meet the standards. | ||
| And that's incredible. | ||
| And then everybody's got to work out every day. | ||
| That's huge. | ||
| That's amazing. | ||
| Nobody respects fat leaders in the military. | ||
| If you're in the military, you're there for a reason to fight wars, to kill people, to destroy the enemies, and to protect America. | ||
| So I remember way back in the day, I checked into SIAL Team 5 in 1997. | ||
| And one of our officers from the headquarters, he was in Panama. | ||
| He got shot up in Panama and Patia airfield. | ||
| And he was like a PT, you know, a workout machine. | ||
| This dude was a stud. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And he told us, he was like, you guys need to work out every day, no matter what. | |
| Even if we're out training until 2-3 in the morning, you better be in the gym at 3 o'clock in the morning working out. | ||
| He's like, never skip your workouts. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And there's something he said for that. | |
| If you're a warfighter, your job is to fight wars and you're eating donuts and skipping workouts. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It doesn't work. | |
| So I love it. | ||
| I think what Pete Hegset is doing is amazing. | ||
| This is just a rebranding and it's purging out all the woke mind virus and the DEI. | ||
| I think it's going to take years to get rid of this stuff. | ||
| So if this is going to last through Trump's presidency and hopefully the next president will have a department or the Secretary of War, not Secretary of Defense, a Secretary of War like Pete Hegseth, and he can carry this torch. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And we have to completely purge all this DEI and woke crap out of the military. | |
| The military is no place for that. | ||
| The military has one job and one job only to protect America, to protect Americans. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And that's it. | |
| And you can't do that being woke and letting people in that are unqualified. | ||
| Lowering the standards is not good. | ||
| We need to set the standard high, set the bar high, and stick to it no matter what. | ||
| You said you would say all the time that, and you're 100% correct. | ||
| This is an institutional rot now. | ||
| This is just not individual. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's not going to just come from changing individuals, although you have to do that. | |
| This has been institutionalized. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's going to take a while. | |
| I believe one of the reasons that Pete went to the president said, I want to bring everybody, it's unprecedented. | ||
| We're going to get some grief in the woke media, but we got to do it because I want everybody to hear it. | ||
| So there's no question about this. | ||
| And we're going to go in with a trenching tool and dig it out of the War Department and the individual uniformed services. | ||
| We're not going to let this sit in your right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's going to take a while to do it. | |
| One of the things you brought up here consistently every time I have you on and we talk about some combat situation, we get you on here for your expertise. | ||
| You always say that when you were in those great volunteers that went in around 9-11 and after 9-11 and fought the 20-year wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, that it was pretty evident to you guys on the front lines that we were not there to win, that these wars were not the win. | ||
| Do you think that that message is getting through between what Pete Heggs has said and then followed by the commander-in-chief? | ||
| That we're now in this to the War Department is to win wars. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| I mean, it sounds like it's so we'll see when the rubber hits the road, but yes, every everything is fundamentally changing in the military. | ||
| It's going back to what it used to be. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's going back to what it should be. | |
| And, you know, it's winning, winning, winning. | ||
| That's, and Trump says it every day. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He says winning, winning, winning. | |
| And Pete Hegseth is, um, he doesn't say winning, winning every day, but he's actually doing it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So, you know, sometimes action speaks louder than words. | |
| So Hegseth is urging all this crap out, and Trump is verbalizing it. | ||
| So we have Trump verbalizing it, and then he carrying out the orders. | ||
| He's doing it. | ||
| Actions speak louder than words. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And that's what's going on. | |
| And yeah, you have to win. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Just like World War II, unconditional surrender. | |
| If you're going to fight a war, win and leave. | ||
| None of this, you know, these forever wars. | ||
| It's hang around forever. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's stupid. | |
| Forever wars are going to be. | ||
| Hang on one second. | ||
| I got to ask you about, I got to ask you about terrorism on the other side. | ||
| And I've got Dr. Bradley Thayer. | ||
| Taj Gill is with us, Dr. Bradley Thayer. | ||
| Senator Hawley was going to join us, but they got a committee meeting here to jump into. | ||
| We'll try to get in this afternoon or tomorrow. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I want to thank Senator Tuberville for changing up his schedule. | |
| Stick around for us. | ||
| President went almost an hour. | ||
| There's also going to be another event back at the White House. | ||
| Our own Brian Glenn hanging around outside the Oval Office. | ||
| We'll go to that live as soon as it happens. | ||
| Gold nearing an all-time high. | ||
| It is not too late to make physical gold part of your asset base, just like the central banks are doing. | ||
| They're changing out really the Euro dollar right now and a little bit the U.S. dollar to get a bigger reserve. | ||
|
unidentified

| Here's how we're going to go about this. | ||
| I'm going to get Dr. Thayer up here to talk about the military. | ||
| And then we're going to, Taj is going to stick around. | ||
| Thayer's going to stick around. | ||
| Thayer's been critical behind the scenes on this whole terrorism thing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And we've got to face some unpleasant facts in this country, and we've got to face them now. | |
| If we don't want our children to deal with it, we've got to face this now. | ||
| And nothing could be more serious. | ||
| And unfortunately, there's so much going on, it's kind of spread. | ||
| But you see the president starting to get very focused on this. | ||
| And of course, we think it's the elemental thing that has to be dealt with right now. | ||
| Dr. Thayer, you're an expert in this. | ||
| It's unprecedented what happened today. | ||
| I will say this, knowing the president, and I'm just going to make an observation. | ||
| And this is because I know the show is watched by the White House and the different departments, everything like this. | ||
| Everybody right now has to pitch in and do superhuman work around President Trump. | ||
| President Trump yesterday at the Netanyahu event, I thought looked very tired. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Today, he looked very tired. | |
| And why does he look very tired? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The weight of the world's on his shoulders, and he's kind of doing everything. | |
| People are pitching, don't get me wrong, but he's ahead of so many of the people working for him. | ||
| People have got to step up. | ||
| They've got to be forward action, got to be driving. | ||
| You've got to be driving these decisions, like this whole terrorism thing. | ||
| Quite frankly, it shouldn't be up to the war room and others that we're associated with to make this a big deal. | ||
| And finally, the president gets all the information. | ||
| As soon as he gets the information, bang, a decision's made. | ||
| The president looks tired, I think. | ||
| Why? | ||
| He's got every day is another huge event, another world historical event. | ||
| Today, this has never happened in the history of the country. | ||
| When we just had a small continental army and we didn't have a navy, you know, we had a couple of freebooters like John Paul Jones and we had a handful of flag officers. | ||
| We never called everybody together ever. | ||
| When the military is as small as it's ever been, it's just not done. | ||
| It's unprecedented. | ||
| And you heard from Tage exactly. | ||
| Pete Hexeth gave it to him with both barrels. | ||
| It's a new day. | ||
| We're a war department. | ||
| We put up a trillion dollars a year, of which, as you know, we're not happy with the amount of money spent. | ||
| We think it's way too much. | ||
| But we're a war department. | ||
| And that means, and Pete's, which we didn't get the clip, it said precision and ferocity, precision and ferocity. | ||
| And we're fighting the win, and we're not going to go drag these things out. | ||
| It was historical what happened today. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And they're going to get torn apart all day in the media. | |
| Just take your number two principal and write that down. | ||
| They're going to say, this is, oh, look at it. | ||
| They're like Patton. | ||
| They want to be, you know, they want to be in the Patton movie with the big flag in the background and dramatic. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And Pete read him the RIDAC. | |
| We've got to get everybody on board. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No more DEI. | |
| No more crap about climate change. | ||
| We're here to fight wars and to win wars and to do it with precision and ferocity. | ||
| That means in and out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And like Tay said, to victory. | |
| I mean, it's kind of like when you look at the unconditional surrender of the Union with the Confederacy. | ||
| And then, of course, in World War II, it's three things. | ||
| War is in three phases, basically. | ||
| Phase one, take the moral high ground. | ||
| People are going to have to die for your cause. | ||
| So you have to give them something to rally around and make it a purpose to die for. | ||
| The values of the country. | ||
| As Taj said with the volunteers after 9-11, it was, are we winning this thing? | ||
| Are we just going to sit here and have blue thumbs in Afghanistan and all the nation building? | ||
| And those young men and women, you go to section 60, at the time, they knew right away it wasn't to win. | ||
| It was just kind of kicked a can down the road for the globalists and try to have nation building or people that were either not ready for it or not interested in it. | ||
| And it became us versus them, us versus the people we're trying to free. | ||
| Now Tay says, hey, give a purpose. | ||
| It's to win and get out. | ||
| You take the moral high ground. | ||
| Number two, you leave a smoking hole where your enemy is, like in Germany, like in Japan, like in the Confederacy. | ||
| You leave a smoking hole. | ||
| What did Sherman tell Lincoln a month into the war when he was running the military academy, I think, which became LSU? | ||
| He said, he went up and had a meeting with because Burr's a big-time senator. | ||
| And he told Lincoln, he says, you're going to have to burn every city in the Confederacy to the ground because these people are never going to surrender. | ||
| They're tough, they're hard-headed, and they're a little arrogant. | ||
| And it's just not going to happen. | ||
| Don't think taking out an army doesn't mean anything. | ||
| And of course, the whole war at the beginning was taking out armies until people realized, I think we have to go full annihilation because the Confederacy is not going to quit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's what I'm saying. | |
| A smoking hole where your opponent is. | ||
| And then you fill said hole with your stuff. | ||
| Like in Germany after the war, like in Japan after the war, like in the Confederacy after the war. | ||
| That's back to old school. | ||
| And you can see Pete Heggs today, who's about as old school as you get, gave it to him with both barrels. | ||
| Precision and ferocity. | ||
| And Taj Gill's 100% right. | ||
| Just doing this today is a start. | ||
| But just the reason they're doing this is they're not happy with the progress that they're making taking out DEI and all this other crap. | ||
| It's because it's systemic now. | ||
| It's in the institution. | ||
| And you're going to have to take a trenching tool and you're going to have to dig it out. | ||
| You're not going to be able to send out a memo. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You're not going to be able to send out some assertion. | |
| You're not going to be able to have a press conference. | ||
| Because you know why? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's like so much that's going on right now. | |
| I talk about all the time. | ||
| They think Trump's just a passing summer storm. | ||
| And they think the guys around him, the men and women around him, are just passing through. | ||
| And they got that date, January 20th of 2029. | ||
| Hey, they're going to get under new management, either Republican, the Youngkin Republican establishment, Romney 2.0, or we're going to get these radicals in the Democratic Party. | ||
| And then Trump and MAGA screw them. | ||
| And so we're not going to actually change the institution. | ||
| We'll kind of give it some, we'll tap it along and let them think that we're changing or not. | ||
| And President Trump's smart enough, and Pete Heggs is damn smart enough because he sees what that building is so impossible to move. | ||
| Dr. Thayer, your thoughts today, sir. | ||
| Steve, my thoughts are these. | ||
| First, it was one of Trump's greatest speeches, as well as Heggseth. | ||
| And the speeches have to be twinned, and they have to be considered really as a unified address. | ||
| It was exactly what was needed. | ||
| We're seeing Trump in full, really. | ||
| It's for what Americans voted, and it's American leadership at its best. | ||
| The messages that he conveyed were strongest. | ||
| We have the strongest military. | ||
| Strength leads to peace, peace through strength. | ||
| But also, we need to address domestic issues that for too long have not been addressed and have caused profound problems. | ||
| That is, there has not been adequate leadership in the military on the civilian side or the senior military side. | ||
| And it has not been resistance to Marxism, right, which Obama was expert at infiltrating and forcing into the military. | ||
| For the audiences of the speech, the audiences were, of course, the military, active guard, and reserve, but they were also the American people. | ||
| And thirdly, they were our foreign friends and enemies. | ||
| And so if we think about it in that respect, to the military, it was spot on, both Hegseth and Trump. | ||
| It's a return to warfighting. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's a return, in essence, to the focus and intensity that we have not seen in the military since the end of the Cold War, where you had a supremely professional military that was focused on defeating America's adversaries, great power threats like the Soviet Union. | |
| The president and Hegseth also in the address to the military, Steve, as Taj and you identified, ending the Marxist penetration of the military, which is that terrible cancer to the American people, but also to the military as well. | ||
| Trump conveyed the reassertion of American purpose, of American identity, and American pride. | ||
| And that's really, to my mind, this is really so important. | ||
| Framed as the reawakening of the warrior spirit, conveying that we're not going to be politically correct when it comes to defending American freedom. | ||
| And this was, Trump is calling for the reawakening of the American spirit, which is so overdue and important. | ||
| Lastly, for foreign friends and enemies, right, Trump, with respect to our enemies, called out the domestic threat, right? | ||
| The enemy from within. | ||
| And that enemy from within is the Chinese Communist Party, who has been working with Antifa and has been working with organizations in Philadelphia, for example, to have the raising of the flag of the People's Republic of China is an obscenity. | ||
| And that has to be called out. | ||
| So Trump is – Hey, Doc, hang on for one second because I want to take a break. | ||
| I want to come back to that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You've worked so hard on this, and Taj is an expert. | |
| The enemy within and just some things that are up in the media today, and we've been talking about, but if you combine them all, this is where we got the problem. | ||
| And I don't like the fact I'm hearing about the planning document, the overall planning document of the Pentagon is downplaying China as a global threat, as it wants to be a hegemon. | ||
| They're kind of focusing it just on East Asia and around the South China Sea and Taiwan, which is super important. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, we're big believers in hemispheric defense, but the hemispheric defense, the pivot, the pivot is the vast Pacific, which is our strategic pivot in the three island chains. | |
| We have to confront the Chinese Communist Party as they go for global domination. | ||
| And folks, that could start tomorrow with the Chinese Communist Party flag, the red Chinese Communist Party flag raised over City Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. | ||
| Don't think the CCP doesn't know the symbolism of that. | ||

| We're still in so many dogfights, but you got the job done down in Texas. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And Glenn Surrey and the team at Patriot Mobile were instrumental in even getting that rolling. | |
| But the key is now to switch. | ||
| And the reason you want to switch, it's the best mobile service out there because you got access to all the different mobile services. | ||
| The best way to do it is just call right now 972Patriot and talk to a United States citizen that's working their call center, a United States citizen in the United States, a call center. | ||
| Ask them about all the services, all the different types, put in promo code Bannon. | ||
| You get a free month when you switch to Patriot Mobile. | ||
| Do it today. | ||
| A great supporter of all the conservative causes. | ||
| And I really want to thank them for Charlie Kirk's memorial. | ||
| I think we're up 10 hours, 11 hours commercial free is because of Patriot Mobile and Birch Gold. | ||
| Miles Grimmard, everybody's bugging me about this, about the test you guys ran to show the difference between biological age and chronological age and how Field of Greens, taking Field of Greens, helping that. | ||
| Can you walk us through so we understand exactly what this study was and people can understand it? | ||
| Yeah, I'd be happy to. | ||
| So there's so many fruit and vegetable products on the market right now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You refer to them a lot too. | |
| But they're mostly just common products with no real science behind them. | ||
| And Field of Greens is different. | ||
| And we wanted to prove that with a university study because every fruit and vegetable inside Field of Greens was medically selected for their studied health benefits. | ||
| So we partnered with Aubrey University to do a health and biological age study. | ||
| And the results were remarkable. | ||
| In the study, the participants changed nothing. | ||
| They maintained their same diet. | ||
| They ate fast food. | ||
| They didn't exercise anymore or stopped drinking. | ||
| And after substantial amounts of medical testing and studies, those results were eye-opening. | ||
| Field of Greens was shown to slow the body's aging. | ||
| It reduced or lowered the biological age of the participants, meaning just by taking field of greens, their cells were younger. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And in America right now, you know, like you said, there's a chronological age and their biological age. | |
| The biological age, that references the cells age in your body and your vital organs. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So they tested all that and it came back that just taking field of greens made the participants younger. | |
| So what do you recommend? | ||
| What are people supposed to do? | ||
| Walk us through, if that's what the study showed, how do you translate that into somebody in the audience saying, okay, I'll try it. | ||
| Tell me what I got to do. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Do you get our standard formula? | |
| And the reason I love it, you can't put this enough pill. | ||
| I mean, the other guys carpet bomb it with advertising. | ||
| You see the advertising everywhere. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But you'd have a very different process for this because it is a super fruit and it's totally organic. | |
| So you can't put it in a little candy pill or you can't put it in a pill. | ||
| So walk people through what they have to order and then how do they use it every day. | ||
| Well, you just go to fieldogreens.com and we do have a 20% discount if you use code Bannon. | ||
| But really, I mean, most people, they're going to take it, you know, twice a day. | ||

| My favorite's a strawberry lemonade. | ||
| We just launched cucumber lime, which is delicious. | ||
| Our original flavor, we have a raw flavor that is, I don't think it tastes good, but you're going to get the same benefits. | ||
| All you do is you scoop it, you put it in your water. | ||

| It's fruits and vegetables that Dr. Mike and his team chose for each of their studied health benefits. | ||
| So each, there's groups for everything in there: heart health, liver health, kidney health, cell health, and even some for metabolism, healthy weight management. | ||
| So it's just as simple as taking a scoop every day. | ||
| And we even, you know, we back it up with a doctor health promise as well, which if you take it for 60 days and next time you go to your doctor, if they don't, if he doesn't mention your improved health, then we have a money-back guarantee. | ||

|
unidentified
|
Thank you, sir. | |
| Thank you so much, Steve. | ||
| Great to be back. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I might add, you get a great energy boost. | |
| Okay, I want to talk terrorism. | ||
| Taj, coming today, you got the mayor of Philadelphia and some commission they've got have invited the Chinese Communist Party to Philadelphia to raise the flag of the Chinese Communist Party, that red flag with the stars over the town hall of over City Hall of Philadelphia tomorrow on the birthday of the Chinese Communist Party, which is 1 October. | ||
| You've also got Vanity Fair has got a picture of Mandami on the cover that looks like a movie star. | ||
| I mean, just the glow and the burst and all this. | ||
| This looks like a total movie star. | ||
| You've got so many other things coming up now about Portland, everything. | ||
| The war inside this country, the war within that Pete Heggs had talked about and the president of the United States, the commander-in-chief, is the war that must be won right now. | ||
| Because both politically and where Mamdani's money is coming from, nobody knows. | ||
| No, no media. | ||
| New York Times has not done, has not pressed them on it. | ||
| Nothing's happening. | ||
| So your sense, President Trump signed a pretty detailed takedown that Antifa and any associated parties, including armed queers of Salt Lake City. | ||
| Your thoughts, sir? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, they need to go full throttle. | |
| I saw the Pete Pete Hagseth, Secretary of War, sending National Guard troops to Portland yesterday, and they need a clean house. | ||
| And they need to, like I said before, they need to activate the Joint Terrorism Task Force in Portland. | ||
| And they need to actually bring in the local law enforcement and federally deputize them so they can bring them in and give them federal badges. | ||
| That way they're actually working for the feds, not the far-left mayor and governor and city council that basically tie the police's hands behind their backs and don't allow them to go after Antifa. | ||
| They need to go after these guys full stop, get rid of them. | ||
| They need to arrest them. | ||
| They need to make it so Antifa is scared to go on the streets. | ||
| If they do, they'll get arrested because they are designated a terrorist group. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And what you said in Philadelphia about the Chinese flag flying over the Capitol, it's like, no way, how about the American flag flying over the Capitol? | |
| How about the American flag flying over every capital in America, every city hall in America, and every school in America? | ||
|
unidentified
|
We need American flags everywhere for every anniversary, for the Chinese anniversary, for the Canadian anniversary, for the French anniversary. | |
| Let's fly an American flag every day, everywhere, full stop. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And that's it. | |
| That's what I think. | ||
| Hang on a second, Taj. | ||
| Dr. Thayer, you've been instrumental in pulling all this together, but you see the political aspect because Mamdani is the red-green alliance. | ||
| As Trevor Louden and Frank Gavney have warned for years and been laughed at and mocked, you're seeing it on the cover of Vanity Fair. | ||
| It's like the shooting the Cannes Film Festival, right? | ||
| They're so ecstatic that Mamdani with his little TikToks going through the grocery stores and the audacity. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And you know, they're taking money to raise in the cradle of liberty, as Thomas Jefferson called it, Philadelphia, the cradle of liberty, to have the Chinese communist flag flying, raised and flying over City Hall on the anniversary of the formation of the Chinese Communist Party. | |
| Your thoughts, sir? | ||
| Well, my thoughts are these. | ||
| First, we've really been locked in. | ||
| America's been fighting a hundred years war against communism since 1917. | ||
| And we've had some success in that. | ||
| And we've had a lot of failures, particularly since the end of the Cold War. | ||
| It strikes me that Trump's speech and Hegset's speech are both calling for that recognition that what we need, the government can do certain things, and they're doing their utmost to bring that about, | ||
| but we really need that whole of society response to recognize the evils of communism, whether that's shown in Portland through Antifa or whether that's shown through the political warfare success that the Chinese Communist Party had in Philadelphia by having this group, | ||
| the Pennsylvania United Chinese Coalition, sponsor that in conjunction with local Philadelphia officials and Mandami as well, the red-green axis that Trevor Louden, of course, and Frank Affney have done just heroic work in advancing time and again. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So we're really facing really this 100 years war that we need to bring to a conclusion now. | |
| President Trump and Hegseth are doing what they can to change the government, but the call for the resurrection and the rebirth of the American spirit, which is present in both of those speeches, is what's necessary to get the American people to wake up to what's been going on in terms of how the society has been undermined and to bring about the changes that are going to be necessary. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So all credit to President Trump and Secretary of War Hegseth for bringing that about for the September 25th domestic terrorism and organized political violence memo that he, a very important development. | |
| It would be nice also to see Attorney General Bondi and maybe Secretary of Homeland Security Noam give similar addresses with more of a focus on the domestic penetration of that we're finding here. | ||
| But it all gets back to facing the evils of Marxism-Leninism. | ||
| Steve, whether that's going to be shown in the CCP's activities or whether that's going to be shown in Antifa and the donors who make that possible and Soros, Tides, Act Blue, and others who are backing Antifa and Mandami as well. | ||
| The society has to actually be aware. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Has to be whole of society. | |
| And we got to engage societal. | ||
| Jack Kennedy called the long twilight struggle. | ||
| Dr. Thayer, what's your social media? | ||
| How do people go get your writings, sir? | ||
|

We rejoice with the no more. | |
| Let's take down the CCB. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Government is going to shut down at midnight tonight, in all likelihood. | ||
| We're going to cover this extensively at five and walk you through what's going to happen. | ||
|
unidentified
|
As we said, our colleague Russ Vode has got a program, and it's significant enough that guys inside the government now that want to get out on these terms before being furloughed or laid off or whatever are getting, I think Reuters are putting up to 100,000 resignations today, which is, hey, you got to do it. | |
| You got to do it, right? | ||
| Got to get your hands around this thing somehow. | ||
| Now, it's not just all personnel. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's also programmatic. | |
| And that gets back to the Defense Department and other aspects of the corporate welfare state and the welfare state. | ||
| We'll deal with all that at five o'clock, plus much, much more. | ||

unidentified
|
Alex Brusewich is going to join us. | |
| He was just named, I think, the top 100 young leaders in the country. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The great Alex Brusewitz from the Trump campaign and a frequent contributor here to the warm. | |
| We're going to have him on too to talk about that. | ||
| Mike Lindell, what do you got for Chris Ray? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Is now under the gun. | |
| He's a guy, I know he's your second favorite FBI director. | ||
| He's under the gun. | ||
| Tell me about that in my pillow. | ||
| The audience today, given the seriousness of the speeches from Quantico, are looking for a deal, sir. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right on. | |
| Well, Chris Ray, you guys, as you all know, Arctic Frost, FBI was listed on that when they attacked my pillow and my pillow banks went after him. | ||
| They took my cell phone. | ||
| They've attacked individuals, broken their homes in Colorado, all because these people, these were the ones that talked about the elections and securing our elections. | ||
| And then also, he lied with January 6th. | ||
| He's right there with Comey as one of the biggest liars this country's ever seen. | ||
| So anyway, my pillow's still here. | ||
| And hopefully they're going to take care of him and it'll all come out corruption. | ||
| Hey, Mike. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, we got to jump to the Oval Office. | |
| The president's addressing the country. | ||
| We're going to jump to it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let's go. | |
| They said just 4% of the world's population and consumers. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Only 13% of all prescription drugs yet pharmaceutical companies make 75% of their profits from the United States. | |
| So think of that. | ||
| We have 4% of the market, 13% of prescription drugs. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And yet, Albert, I didn't know you were that violent. | |
| I'm surprised you're agreeing to this. | ||
| I'm getting better. | ||
| No, he's doing the right thing. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| And yet they make 75% of their profits from the American customers. | ||
| So it's something. | ||
| That's why I signed an executive order combating this practice, and we signed it very happily a little while ago. | ||
| Today, Pfizer is committing, as will other drug companies, as we go through the weeks. | ||
| But Pfizer is truly one of the biggest in the world or one of the greatest in the world. | ||
| Today, Pfizer is committing to offer all of their prescription medications to Medicaid. | ||
| It will be at the most favored nation's prices. | ||
| It's going to have a huge impact on bringing Medicaid costs down like nothing else. | ||
| I told you that in my first term, I was so proud of the fact that for the first time in 28 years, drug prices came down. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I had a news conference that I explained it was one-tenth of 1%, but it was down. | |
| And here we're talking about, in one case, over 1,000%. | ||
| This is a critical step forward to our work and to improve health care and hardworking, low-income Americans, especially low-income Americans, will be helped so greatly. | ||
| In addition, Pfizer has agreed to provide some of their most popular current medications to all consumers at heavily discounted prices of anywhere between 50 and even 100 percent. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And that's off the price. | |
| And in some cases, even more than that. | ||
| These drugs will be available for direct purchase online at a website operated by the federal government. | ||
| We're also announcing that moving forward, all new medications introduced by Pfizer to the American market will be sold at the reduced most favored nation costs. | ||
| So we'll be paying essentially what other countries are paying, who have been much lower, much, much lower for many, many years. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Furthermore, Pfizer will invest $70 billion to reshore domestic manufacturing facilities. | |
| In other words, they're going to bring a lot of their facilities to make their drugs and make what they make, their product. | ||
| They're going to make it in the United States. | ||
| I appreciate that $70 billion investment and fund research and development right here in America. | ||
| We're working with other major pharmaceutical companies to secure similar agreements. | ||
| Everyone understands that the status quo where Americans pay more for drugs, prescription drugs, and they pay more than foreign countries who take advantage of us in many other ways, although not so many anymore. | ||
| I think we've pretty well got that stopped, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think so. | |
| We've stopped that, but they took advantage of a lot of other presidents, and I can tell you. | ||
| But we're making this pay to be very unacceptable what they've done in the past. | ||
| That's why my administration is also taking historic action to investigate the unfair and discriminatory trade practices of other countries that extort our pharmaceutical makers to shift costs onto the American consumer. | ||
| They say, no, give us a price, a very low price, and just charge the American consumer, charge it to the U.S. | ||
| The United States has done subsidizing the health care of the rest of the world. | ||
| It's a big thing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I can't tell you how big this is. | |
| And I was all set to go on it first term, but then you had the COVID, and we had a focus on that. | ||
| But I said, I want to get back here. | ||
| So, because this is, you're talking about 14, 15, 1,600% reductions in some cases. | ||
| But by taking this bold step, we're ending the era of global price gouging at the expense of American families, and we're making America healthy again, which is our little theme for the people behind me. | ||
| And I want to just ask Secretary Kennedy to come up, and we'll start, and we'll go through it with Oz and Klopp and Porla and McCary. | ||
| And we'll go through it, and if you have any questions, but this is a really big announcement. | ||
| This is something that most people said was not doable. | ||
| And other countries are going along because we told them that if you don't go alone, you know, they didn't have to go alone. | ||
| But if they didn't go along, we were going to put extra tariffs on those countries and we were going to charge them the amount of money that they should be paying for the reduction in costs. | ||
| So I think we had a pretty good negotiating position. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So, Bobby, I'd like you to speak about this and what a great job. | |
| and thank you very much. | ||
| By thanking a couple of people who aren't up here, Theo Merkel, Dr. Heidi Overton, who played key roles in this negotiation and helped make this happen. | ||
| And also, Inma Hernandez, who's not up here, but John Brook and Chris Klump, who were the people who are negotiating in some cases, I think including last night, 24 hours without any sleep. | ||
| This would not have happened without President Trump's leadership. | ||
| I told my son last, we're all under secrecy about this, but I told my son late last night, a 27-year-old son, Connor, who's a very liberal Democrat. | ||
| I told him this was happening. | ||
| And he just paused for a minute and he said, Thank you, Dad. | ||
| I'm so proud of you. | ||
| Because this is something Democrats have wanted for 20 years. | ||
| Republicans have wanted for 20 years. | ||
| Everybody said they're going to do it. | ||
| Nobody has even taken a step towards doing it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And the reason was because it was such a daunting task. | |
| And, you know, even all of the negotiators, you see, I also want to thank Howard Lutnick. | ||
| This would not have happened without him. | ||
| But even all of the negotiators here and all the people on HHS and at the White House team, all we could see was all the reasons that this couldn't happen. | ||
| Everybody had tried. | ||
| Nobody could make it happen. | ||
| And it was President Trump alone who, with his doggedness, his persistence, his insistence, he saw this clearly in a way that none of us are, in its most simplest terms. | ||
| Why are we spending more on this country than any other country? | ||
| Why are we spending 75% of the revenues that come to the pharmaceutical industry? | ||
| We're doing all the research, and everybody else is riding on our slipstream. | ||
| And President Trump, I would say, haranged and harassed us to make this happen. | ||
| I was getting calls at 11:30, 12. | ||
| This is the war room. | ||
| We're going to pitch the Charlie Kirk show. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They're live from the Oval. | |
| We'll be back here at 5 to explain it all to you. | ||
| Let's go back to the Oval Office and the drug pricing deal. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I have a lot of reason. | |
| My wife has a lot of reasons to say to me about different things that happen in my life. | ||
| Doesn't that make give you anxiety? | ||
| And I say, I don't get anxiety. | ||
| This gave me anxiety. | ||
| Oh, thank you, President Trump. | ||
| It would not have happened without you. | ||
| This is real leadership. | ||
| It's somebody, a president who has a vision and makes that vision happen. | ||
| And I can't think of any other president of the United States who could have done this in our history. | ||
| I'm very grateful to you. | ||
| This is an extraordinary benefit. |
