=== Normalizing Assassination Rhetoric (09:01) ===

[00:00:01]  I think, frankly, a lot of it is that politically, I don't think Donald Trump wants to say the biggest threat to America is extremism because I think he wants to convince America the biggest threat to our country is anybody who doesn't like him.
[00:00:20]  And that is unfortunate because that allows this stuff to flourish on both sides.
[00:00:27]  And you've got him saying unspeakable things, things that you and I 10, 20 years ago, said, Well, no president of the United States would ever say that.
[00:00:38]  No president of the United States would ever do that.
[00:00:40]  But he has.
[00:00:42]  And I'm not saying that he caused this.
[00:00:45]  I'm saying that he could help more than anyone else if he would change the way he views the world and quit seeing his position of power as his main job is vengeance on those people that he thinks are his enemies.
[00:01:00]  Which was precisely what he stated at Charlie Kirk's memorial service that he hates his political opponents.
[00:01:06]  Our First Lady Melania is here.
[00:01:08]  Look at Melania, so beautiful.
[00:01:10]  Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow.
[00:01:15]  For example, as the First Lady of the United States pointed out this morning, just two days prior to the shooting, ABC's late night host Jimmy Kimmel disgustingly called First Lady Melania Trump an expectant widow.
[00:01:27]  Who in their right minds says a wife would be glowing over the potential murder of her beloved husband?
[00:01:33]  And having experienced what I did with the First Lady on Saturday night, I can tell you that she was anything but that.
[00:01:39]  This kind of rhetoric about the president, the first lady, and his supporters is completely deranged, and it's unbelievable that the American people are consuming it night after night after night.
[00:01:50]  Just in the rhetoric, you mentioned the first lady and Jimmy Kimmel.
[00:01:53]  Jimmy Kimmel's comments were, Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow.
[00:01:59]  And he said this days before the shooting, but there does seem to be a normalization of rhetoric about assassinating this particular president.
[00:02:10]  How can this administration try to?
[00:02:13]  Put an end to this.
[00:02:15]  Well, I think you heard it directly from the president on Saturday night, Aisha, that in his words, we need to recommit ourselves as a country to toning down the rhetoric and to unifying around what makes our country great.
[00:02:29]  That's true of everyone who works in this White House, but as I said, it's also true of everyone who has a voice in a platform across this country, whether you're on television, a podcast host, you know, people listen.
[00:02:43]  And when you have mentally disturbed individuals across the country who are listening, To this crazed rhetoric about the president day after day after day.
[00:02:51]  It inspires them to do crazy things.
[00:02:53]  And unfortunately, it's not just the media, it is the entire Democrat Party has made their pitch to voters across the country that Donald Trump poses an existential threat to democracy, that he is a fascist, and that they compare him to Hitler.
[00:03:08]  I mean, these are despicable statements that the American people have been consuming for years.
[00:03:13]  And so many mentally perturbed individuals are led to believe these words are truth and then are inspired to act on it.
[00:03:21]  I have a whole host of examples that we can share with you after.
[00:03:24]  It is pages and pages of major Democrat Party elected officials saying, such as Rep. Hakeem Jeffries just this April, this month, said, We are in an era of maximum warfare everywhere, all the time.
[00:03:38]  Governor Josh Shapiro said heads need to roll within the administration.
[00:03:43]  Senator Alex Padilla said people are, quote, dying because of fear and terror caused by the Trump administration.
[00:03:49]  Senator Elizabeth Warren, President Trump is making the country look like a, quote, fascist state.
[00:03:55]  Senator Adam Schiff saying President Trump using a dictator playbook.
[00:03:58]  Senator Ed Markey calling President Trump a dictator, saying that this administration's actions are authoritarianism on steroids.
[00:04:06]  Governor J.B. Pritzker, never before in my life have I called for mass protest disruptions.
[00:04:11]  These Republicans cannot know a moment of peace.
[00:04:14]  You have Rep. Presley saying, We'll see you in the streets.
[00:04:18]  Rep. Monica McIver, a Democrat representative on Capitol Hill, we will not take this from Donald Trump.
[00:04:24]  He thinks he's a dictator.
[00:04:26]  We are at war.
[00:04:29]  Officials calling for war against the president of the United States and his supporters.
[00:04:34]  I could go on and on, but again, when you have people in positions of power that are saying things like this every single day for years, you are inspiring violence by people who are already mentally ill.
[00:04:45]  And that's what we've seen against this president for far too long.
[00:04:48]  When you have a president who, and many people in this room, if we're going to be honest about it, have done it as well, they're just as guilty as a lot of people on X. When you have reporters, when you have media just Being overly critical and calling the president horrible names for no reason and without evidence, without proof, it shouldn't surprise us that this type of rhetoric takes place.
[00:05:11]  If you look at what it appears that this defendant had in his past, we're talking about somebody who is college educated, who has a job, who is otherwise living his life, and we'll find out more about him, as I expect, in the coming days and weeks.
[00:05:26]  But he chose to do what he did.
[00:05:28]  And so our threat environment is we are ready.
[00:05:31]  I mean, I'm not going to go through what Director. Patel just talked about with the way we responded.
[00:05:35]  But this was something that we will always be prepared for.
[00:05:39]  And it's sad that it has to happen, but it's not a new thing, unfortunately.
[00:05:44]  Well, Katie, I can tell you that the charges that have been brought against Allen based on the magistrate judge's reading of the charges to him are slightly different than those previewed by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro on Saturday night.
[00:05:55]  Chiefly, the first charge against him is an attempt to assassinate the President of the United States.
[00:06:00]  That's a charge that was also brought against would be assassin Ryan Ruth, who In Florida, tried to assassinate the president at Mar a Lago.
[00:06:12]  The second charge is transportation of a firearm and ammunition in interstate commerce with the intent to commit a felony.
[00:06:19]  I had predicted yesterday that that would likely be one of the charges because we know from what law enforcement has told us so far that Cole Allen got on a train in California, traveled to Washington, D.C. over Amtrak.
[00:06:33]  That's an easy charge for the government to bring here given that he traveled.
[00:06:38]  All of those states in between carrying the components of a firearm.
[00:06:42]  And then the third is a discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence.
[00:06:46]  We know that the government is also asking for life imprisonment, according to our producer who's in the courtroom right now.
[00:06:55]  They are also asking for preventative detention.
[00:06:57]  That's not a surprise, meaning they want him in custody indefinitely until his trial.
[00:07:04]  And those are the things that we know right now.
[00:07:08]  Appointed federal public defenders are essentially saying that he has no criminal history.
[00:07:13]  There's no reason for him to be in detention.
[00:07:15]  I don't expect that a magistrate judge is going to side with Cole Allen's lawyers on this one.

=== Redistricting Shifts and Victory (12:42) ===

[00:09:02]  You're in the war room, the afternoon version.
[00:09:05]  Let's stick with that photo, that shot right there.
[00:09:07]  It's Monday, 27 April, year of our Lord, 2026.
[00:09:13]  We're pretty jammed.
[00:09:14]  We're going to go.
[00:09:15]  Our own Brian Glenn is going to be interviewing Kevin O'Leary at the Trump Kennedy Center at the bottom of the hour.
[00:09:20]  We'll go there.
[00:09:22]  Caroline Wren is in Tallahassee.
[00:09:24]  She's going to come on to talk about DeSantis.
[00:09:26]  Put this.
[00:09:28]  There's the honor guard right there with the king.
[00:09:30]  That's Monica Crowley.
[00:09:32]  Ambassador for protocol over at the State Department.
[00:09:37]  The King and the Queen have arrived.
[00:09:39]  They've actually arrived at the White House.
[00:09:41]  This is a few minutes ago, this is a little bit earlier when they got to Andrews Air Force Base.
[00:09:47]  And then there was pomp and circumstance when they got to the White House.
[00:09:50]  We'll show that also.
[00:09:55]  Normally, we have a longer musical interlude there.
[00:10:00]  Maybe they couldn't figure out what tunes they wanted.
[00:10:02]  Anyway, the King is here.
[00:10:05]  Only a few times, I think, in our history.
[00:10:06]  It was the King.
[00:10:07]  I think it was right before World War II in 1938.
[00:10:11]  I think King George came over after the.
[00:10:14]  Here we go.
[00:10:14]  There's a drum roll.
[00:10:18]  I got.
[00:10:20]  Let's hear this right now.
[00:10:22]  God saved
[00:12:22]  the king first, of course, as a full heckle.
[00:12:27]  The Revolutionary Generation turned that into our own song, My Country Tis of Thee.
[00:12:32]  And then we played the national anthem.
[00:12:34]  The King and the Queen head from Air Force Base Andrews.
[00:12:39]  They'll be at the White House.
[00:12:40]  We've got clips of that.
[00:12:40]  We'll show it in the next break.
[00:12:43]  Dr. Bradley Thayer, I talked to Ben Harnwell today.
[00:12:46]  The King shows up at an interesting time, an assassination attempt.
[00:12:50]  The assassin, the would be assassin, arraigned in federal court today.
[00:12:55]  But he comes over with the Persians have gone to Moscow and are rubbing up against Putin.
[00:13:02]  Your thoughts are we got about a minute, got about 90 seconds before you go to break.
[00:13:06]  Thoughts?
[00:13:08]  Well, clearly the Iranians are doing everything they can do to delay this, to drag it out.
[00:13:14]  The Islamabad farce ended, that kabuki dance is over.
[00:13:18]  So now they're going to go to Moscow to make appeals to Putin.
[00:13:22]  It's not in Russia's interest, obviously, to help Iran out here.
[00:13:28]  Other than in the narrowest lane, given their broader strategic interests.
[00:13:33]  So I don't think that's going to help very much.
[00:13:37]  The big problem, though, of course, is the war is continuing.
[00:13:42]  It's dragging out.
[00:13:44]  Our arsenal is depleting in so many ways.
[00:13:47]  Steve, there's an interesting Atlantic piece out by Missy Ryan and some of her colleagues, really illuminating the tension between Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of War. Pete Hegseth, about the size, the consumption of the arsenal, particularly certain systems.
[00:14:05]  That's called a sanctioned leak.
[00:14:07]  There's a lot of that with this crowd.
[00:14:09]  Marco, Pete, and JD, they're now, instead of focusing on winning the war, they're focused on taking each other out.
[00:14:16]  Anyway, Dr. Thayer, stick right there.
[00:14:19]  We also have a huge victory in the Supreme Court in the state of Texas on redistricting.
[00:14:25]  Governor Ron DeSantis has exploded over the battlefield with some shrapnel.
[00:14:31]  On his map for the great state of Florida.
[00:14:36]  And Caroline Wren is in Tallahassee.
[00:14:40]  The Virginia crowd got to argue at their Supreme Court today.
[00:14:44]  Jeff Reyer, the head of the GOP, is going to be on, Brian Harrison from Texas.
[00:14:48]  And Mr. Wonderful at the Trump Kennedy Center, our own Brian Glenn, about to kick off in America 250.
[00:14:54]  He's going to do an exclusive interview with Real America's Voice in the War.
[00:14:59]  Here's your host, Stephen K. Bann.
[00:15:03]  Okay, Dr. Thayer is going to stick with me and talk about.
[00:15:05]  Color revolutions here in this country.
[00:15:08]  Also, the Russians are now players, Iranians.
[00:15:11]  The Persians went to Moscow.
[00:15:14]  That's a long time ally, their strategic ally, have been for a long time.
[00:15:19]  Get back to Dr. Thay in a moment because I've got to go to Tallahassee.
[00:15:22]  Caroline Wren is down there.
[00:15:25]  This map of Governor DeSantis, if we can put that up, Denver could put up the map.
[00:15:30]  Caroline, we had a victory in the Supreme Court.
[00:15:32]  Brian Harrison's on at six o'clock today.
[00:15:36]  To talk about Texas, we had a big victory there.
[00:15:38]  The Supreme Court backed up the map.
[00:15:40]  The Virginia arguments, although it's a slanted Supreme Court, the Virginians are very happy with how the arguments went.
[00:15:50]  So I don't know, maybe we got a fighting chance there.
[00:15:53]  And now I think Governor DeSantis has stepped up big league in Tallahassee.
[00:16:00]  I know the political class in Washington, D.C., the Democrats are like, wow, we didn't expect that.
[00:16:06]  Walk me through what DeSantis is doing.
[00:16:10]  You know, DeSantis has been under a lot of pressure.
[00:16:13]  His team has.
[00:16:14]  They've kept the maps, you know, it's been very secret.
[00:16:16]  No one had seen them up until today.
[00:16:19]  And I think he did a very, very good job with it.
[00:16:21]  It's not, I mean, to even suggest this is partisan gerrymandering, especially when you compare it to someplace like Virginia, it's just not true.
[00:16:29]  I mean, the maps that we're currently operating under, well, first of all, they were court ordered.
[00:16:33]  And second of all, they don't reflect at all the Florida that is today.
[00:16:38]  And for example, in 2018, the Democrats had a 260,000 Democrat registration advantage.
[00:16:45]  Today in Florida, there's 1.5 million more Republicans registered than Democrats.
[00:16:51]  So that is just to show you the shift.
[00:16:52]  That Florida has done.
[00:16:53]  And a lot of this was during COVID.
[00:16:55]  And so we were basing these maps off the 2020 census, and that makes absolutely no sense.
[00:17:01]  And keep in mind, if we waited till the 2030 census, that wouldn't even be implemented until 2033, we would have been stuck with this same frozen map for the next four election cycles.
[00:17:12]  So I give Governor Sanders a lot of credit.
[00:17:14]  I think that this is a very strong, very fair map that accurately portrays how Florida looks today.
[00:17:23]  Correct me if I'm wrong, when this is all said and done, if we go and he hammers through the map that he's put out, given we've already done this exercise before, I think in 2022, and that was initiated and really driven by Alex DeGrasse, because these state legislatures often don't want to do them.
[00:17:41]  This is why DeSantis is calling back in special session.
[00:17:45]  At the end of this, if we get the DeSantis map, correct me if I'm wrong, it's 24 to 4 in Florida, 24 Republican district seats, and four Democrat.
[00:17:56]  Is that correct?
[00:17:59]  Yes, I think that would be the most likely outcome looking at this map right now.
[00:18:02]  And so that would be, you know, that would be a net pickup of four seats for Republicans, which is great.
[00:18:08]  And I also think, again, it reflects where this state has moved to.
[00:18:12]  And so I think that the concentration really left of Democrats, even though, like, there is Palm Beach County, which I live in Palm Beach County, I actually think that district could still go red, like the new one that is drawn.
[00:18:24]  I'm like, I don't know if this is where Donald Trump's Mar a Lago is.
[00:18:28]  You know, there's some.
[00:18:30]  Bluish areas there, and then they're um, but where I think the democrats are freaking out is that there's no longer they lost what they believe to be a seat in Tampa area.
[00:18:39]  But the reality is, like Tampa area population has also changed, that's where you've seen the most democrats leave the state, in fact.
[00:18:45]  And so, I do think that this map is very uh representative of where we currently are uh in our state.
[00:18:51]  And so, I'm very excited about this.
[00:18:53]  I believe the legislature they go into session tomorrow, it'll go through committee.
[00:18:57]  You could have the house vote on it as soon as tomorrow night, but I think the legislature.
[00:19:01]  We'll hopefully move this along very quickly and have it on Governor DeSantis' desk to sign by Thursday.
[00:19:07]  But this is the kind of aggressive, it is about demographics, about population shift.
[00:19:11]  But this is what people have been waiting for a 24-4 map in Florida, just like they're trying to destroy the Republican Party in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
[00:19:20]  This eviscerates the Democratic Party in these, because they have no state office holders right now.
[00:19:29]  This crushes the Democratic Party at the federal level in the great state of Florida, one of our most booming states.
[00:19:37]  Well, yeah, but also, even if you're just talking about the population changes, this is relevant to all red states.
[00:19:42]  This is why it's driving me crazy that a lot of these red states don't have the backbone that Ron DeSantis does.
[00:19:47]  During COVID and for a number of other reasons, you've seen a mass shift in the United States population, and they've been fleeing blue states for red states.
[00:19:56]  And those are largely people that were sick of blue state policies.
[00:19:59]  Well, when they move, they often are coming and voting Republican.
[00:20:03]  Because if you move from California to, say, Georgia or Alabama, You come because you don't want that lifestyle that the Democrat Party was giving you there.
[00:20:11]  And those folks are registered Republicans.
[00:20:13]  And so it's driving me crazy that we're not doing more of these redistricting in these deeply red states because our population has shifted.
[00:20:20]  The Democrats, their party only exists.
[00:20:23]  They're in a few major cities Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Boston, New York City.
[00:20:30]  Past that, like they're done.
[00:20:31]  They're a dying breed.
[00:20:32]  The Electoral College is going to be absolutely brutal to them.
[00:20:36]  After this next census, and if Donald Trump is successful, especially if we are successful in keeping illegals from being counted in the census, the 2032 presidential race will be a bloodbath.
[00:20:47]  For Democrats, they will never win the Electoral College again.
[00:20:51]  This is why they desperately are trying to get in now.
[00:20:54]  They want the House, Senate, and presidency in 2038.
[00:20:57]  So they will nuke the filibuster, what John Foone and our Republicans are unwilling to do.
[00:21:02]  They will make Puerto Rico and D.C. states, and they will pack the Supreme Court because they know that they have no hope after 2032.
[00:21:11]  So, Caroline, we were told that what we did in Texas was racist, it was xenophobic, it would never pass the Supreme Court.
[00:21:20]  Put their stamp on that today, correct?
[00:21:22]  Well, that's not what I said.
[00:21:23]  I thought the Texas map did not go far enough.
[00:21:25]  I think they actually could have drawn out two more Denver, and it flew right through.
[00:21:28]  We got the ruling we wanted from the Supreme Court.
[00:21:30]  I don't know what it was a weak map, to be honest with you.
[00:21:34]  Yep.
[00:21:34]  I think we could have gone harder.
[00:21:36]  And then Virginia, I think, had a good day today.
[00:21:39]  What do you intend?
[00:21:40]  You're going to stay in Tallahassee to the bitter end on this?

=== Nuking the Filibuster Plan (03:36) ===

[00:21:44]  I am.
[00:21:45]  I want to see this through.
[00:21:46]  This is very important right now.
[00:21:47]  So I'm going to watch this process happen.
[00:21:49]  And I feel very comfortable that the legislature, Looks like that.
[00:21:54]  I think Governor DeSantis' team has handled this very well.
[00:21:56]  And so I'm very hopeful that this is going to pass.
[00:21:59]  And then it becomes similar to Virginia, where it's going to be a battle through the courts.
[00:22:03]  But, you know, I think it'll make it to the Florida Supreme Court.
[00:22:06]  And I'm hoping that they do the right thing and rule correctly and say, yes, we need a map that reflects the Florida today, not Florida of 10 years ago.
[00:22:16]  Caroline Wren, where do people get you on social media to follow you while you're in Tallahassee, ma'am?
[00:22:21]  It is at Caroline Wren on X, Getter, and Truth Social.
[00:22:27]  Thank you, man.
[00:22:28]  Appreciate you.
[00:22:29]  Let's go again.
[00:22:29]  Dr. Theroux, go back to in a second, talk about this.
[00:22:32]  They rejected, President Trump rejected their offer today.
[00:22:36]  Do I have Neil McCabe at the White House?
[00:22:38]  Neil McCabe, the king is there, right?
[00:22:41]  This is the first time I think a king.
[00:22:44]  We've had the queen a couple of times in 1976.
[00:22:47]  I think she came.
[00:22:48]  And in 1991, this is the first time a king's been here.
[00:22:52]  And I think it's only the second time.
[00:22:54]  It was in 1938, I believe.
[00:22:57]  You have the king, but we had to do.
[00:23:00]  Something not quite so high profile was to, or so hoity toity, you were down at the arraignment.
[00:23:05]  Tell me about the arraignment of the would be assassin.
[00:23:11]  Right, Steve.
[00:23:11]  So the arraignment was held shortly before 2 p.m. before the magistrate judge, Matthew Sharbaugh, and he was brought in, Cole Thomas Allen.
[00:23:25]  He was wearing a blue jumpsuit.
[00:23:27]  He wasn't really demonstrative.
[00:23:29]  He sat at the table, he stood for a moment.
[00:23:31]  The judge told him he could sit.
[00:23:33]  He entered no plea because he had just met his public defender legal team.
[00:23:39]  But Jocelyn Ballantyne, the assistant U.S. Attorney representing the government, put forward three charges one, attempt to assassinate the President of the United States, two, bringing firearms across state lines to commit a felony, and then firing firearms in the commitment of a violent act.
[00:24:02]  Those are the three charges.
[00:24:04]  Right now, the highest penalty of those three charges, of course, is the assassination attempt on the president, but that's only a life.
[00:24:12]  Now, although Ballantyne told the judge that Allen had committed acts of terrorism, they did not file any terrorism charges.
[00:24:21]  And so that may come later.
[00:24:23]  Jeanine Pierrot, the U.S. Attorney for D.C., said at the press conference today with Kash Patel and Todd Blanch that there could be more charges.
[00:24:31]  And so it would be interesting to see if this thing can be escalated to a death penalty, Steve.
[00:24:39]  Don't know about that, but there will definitely be other charges.
[00:24:41]  Look, I'm all for it.
[00:24:42]  I think they ought to go for the death penalty.
[00:24:45]  Could you put the stop to this nonsense?
[00:24:46]  But who knows if they're going to get to that level?
[00:24:49]  But there will be a superseding indictment.
[00:24:51]  They'll lay a bunch more charges on this guy, no doubt.
[00:24:55]  Neil, stay right there.
[00:24:59]  We have the King and the Queen of the United Kingdom are in the White House kicking off the 250th commemoration of our independence, everything rolling up to July 4th.
[00:25:14]  Brian Glenn is at the Trump Kennedy Center even as we speak.
[00:25:18]  There's an event there that also kicks it off.

=== Death Penalty for Trump (11:30) ===

[00:25:21]  And he's got Kevin O'Leary, Mr. Wonderfuls, there.
[00:25:24]  We're going to do in the next block a live interview with Kevin.
[00:25:29]  Dr. Thayer is going to stick around.
[00:25:31]  We've got to get to the big.
[00:25:34]  The Persians went to Moscow today.
[00:25:37]  So this is really now a great power issue.
[00:25:40]  The Chinese Communist Party, the KGB that runs Russia, and President Trump.
[00:25:46]  This is how we get this thing sorted out.
[00:25:49]  President Trump rejected their proposal today that they would open Hormuz, we would stand down on the blockade, and we'd get around, they would get around to coming back to us with some thoughts about their nuclear program.
[00:26:01]  President Trump was having none of it.
[00:26:03]  We're going to take a short commercial break.
[00:26:05]  Also, at the six o'clock hour, Brian Harrison from Texas, Jeff Ryler from the Commonwealth of Virginia.
[00:26:10]  The redistricting wars continue on, and we've got the momentum.

[00:26:50]  I think Scott's been reading End of the Dollar Empire.
[00:26:53]  He wants to make sure it doesn't end and the BRICS nations don't win.
[00:26:57]  Back in a moment to the Kennedy Center.
[00:26:59]  War Room.
[00:27:00]  Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

[00:28:08]  Let's go to the Trump Kennedy Center.
[00:28:10]  Right now, our own Brian Glenn.
[00:28:11]  Brian, I got McCabe at the White House.
[00:28:14]  I got Brian Glenn at the Trump Kennedy Center.
[00:28:17]  Brian, momentarily, we're going to come back to you.
[00:28:19]  Tell us, set the stage.
[00:28:21]  What are you going to be doing today?
[00:28:22]  Why are you at the Kennedy Center instead of seeing the King down there?
[00:28:27]  You're Irish, you're Scotch Irish, aren't you?
[00:28:29]  I thought you'd be down seeing the King today in high teeth or afternoon tea.
[00:28:33]  I found out, Steve, that I'm 100% British.
[00:28:37]  I absolutely love it.
[00:28:38]  I feel like I'm all home.
[00:28:39]  I'm coming home.
[00:28:40]  Tomorrow.
[00:28:42]  Yeah.
[00:28:42]  Tomorrow, all of the activities start around 10 a.m.
[00:28:46]  We'll be on the South Lawn.
[00:28:47]  You'll have an exclusive look at this stuff.
[00:28:49]  It's going to be beautiful, what I've told, the way they're going to greet the King and Queen.
[00:28:53]  But right now, I'm at the Trump Kennedy Center.
[00:28:55]  This is Ashley Davis' The Power Pivot book she has out that talks about leadership, decision making.
[00:29:02]  She was, in fact, the first employee after 9 11 for the Homeland Security.
[00:29:08]  So you'll talk a little bit about that.
[00:29:10]  We also have Mr. Wonderful himself.
[00:29:13]  Kevin O'Leary will be joining us here momentarily to also talk about what it takes to be a good leader and what's the thought process behind hire slow, but you fire fast.
[00:29:25]  Perhaps we've seen that a little bit in politics as well, Steve.
[00:29:27]  So as soon as they come out, we'll let you guys know and we'll have a few minutes with them before they come on the stage here at about 6 o'clock local.
[00:29:36]  You're having a special pre interview with them, but at 6 o'clock, what is the actual event that's going to take place at 6 o'clock?
[00:29:46]  Yeah, they've got kind of a moderator, kind of a QA session with Ashley and Mr. Wonderful himself talking about decision, leadership skills, and what it takes in this modern age to run a company, run a government, run positions.
[00:30:01]  So we'll have a studio audience there.
[00:30:03]  They'll do some questions and answering back and forth, kind of more of a learning session, if you will.
[00:30:08]  It's got a moderator that will go in the crowd and get the questions from people.
[00:30:12]  So it's going to be absolutely amazing.
[00:30:13]  But we are.
[00:30:14]  We're back here, backstage at the Trump.
[00:30:16]  Kennedy Center, and as soon as they come out, Steve, I will let you know, and we'll have a few minutes with them before they step on stage at six o'clock.
[00:30:23]  We're going right back to Brian Glenn, and now we know that Brian Glenn is 100% English.
[00:30:29]  That sits well for an Irishman.
[00:30:31]  100% English.
[00:30:33]  Thank you, sir.
[00:30:33]  We're going to come right back to you.
[00:30:37]  Sorry, what?
[00:30:40]  I've got some little family history.
[00:30:42]  Maybe we'll talk about it on the other side of the break when we come back.
[00:30:44]  I've got something that's going to shock you.
[00:30:45]  We'll do that.
[00:30:46]  Yeah.
[00:30:47]  Okay.
[00:30:48]  Hard to shock the war room, but you never know.
[00:30:50]  It is Brian Glenn after all.
[00:30:52]  Let's go back to.
[00:30:54]  We got McCabe at the White House.
[00:30:57]  The king is there.
[00:30:58]  They're in today just to kind of come by, see the president, the first lady.
[00:31:03]  He greets them very casual.
[00:31:05]  I shouldn't say casual.
[00:31:06]  King's round is never casual, but not kind of the formal what's going to happen tomorrow.
[00:31:10]  And then I believe the king, who's just right off the plane, heads over to the British Embassy.
[00:31:17]  I think they're having a reception.
[00:31:19]  For the king tonight and the queen there.
[00:31:23]  Dr. Bradley Thayer.
[00:31:25]  And Brad, as soon as they come back, we're going to jump to Kevin O'Leary.
[00:31:29]  But how big a deal is this that now the Persians, specifically after saying they were too busy to really meet with Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, flew to Moscow?
[00:31:45]  And there's all kind of footage.
[00:31:46]  We'll get some up tomorrow morning.
[00:31:47]  There's all kind of footage of them rubbing up on.
[00:31:50]  Putin and Putin saying it's so great.
[00:31:53]  He said he talked to the Ayatollah the other day, all this.
[00:31:56]  This is now a big, this is a great power's issue, sir.
[00:32:02]  Well, it is, and it always has been.
[00:32:04]  But the great power that matters, of course, is Beijing.
[00:32:08]  It's Washington and Beijing and Tehran are going to resolve this issue.
[00:32:12]  So Iranian negotiators can go to Moscow, that's fine, and have an excellent discussion, I'm sure, with Putin, but it's a strategic cul-de-sac.
[00:32:22]  The Russians aren't going to be able to help them in any substantive way.
[00:32:26]  And Russia's interests are not with Iran at this stage, but with the United States.
[00:32:33]  So given what President Trump has already conveyed about increasing tariffs on any country, That would be aiding Iran.
[00:32:41]  I think, as well as Russia's interests in Ukraine, Moscow is going to be loath to help the Iranians in any substantive way.
[00:32:51]  Beijing is going to be the key actor here in putting pressure on the Iranian government.
[00:32:58]  And that's what we need to look to increasing pressure on Beijing, whether that's postponing the summit or taking other actions.
[00:33:07]  That's the next step here.
[00:33:10]  You agree, hang on, you agree that we cannot lift the blockade.
[00:33:16]  The blockade is what gives us leverage over Beijing as much as it gives us leverage over the Persians, correct?
[00:33:23]  Absolutely.
[00:33:24]  It gives us exactly what we need to have at this time.
[00:33:28]  So, no, that should not be lifted.
[00:33:32]  And it's, of course, extremely effective.
[00:33:37]  So, you know, a stalemate is continuing.
[00:33:41]  And I would expect it is going to continue a little bit longer, but President Trump does have, Steve, as you know, tripwires.
[00:33:50]  So it's not going to continue indefinitely.
[00:33:52]  No.
[00:33:54]  I agree with you, although I think he wants to figure this thing out.
[00:33:57]  And I know they're working tons behind the scenes on this.
[00:34:00]  I want to go.
[00:34:02]  You've got a new book you're working on about the confrontation of communism and Marxism against the United States for the last hundred years.
[00:34:10]  This is a color revolution going on right now.
[00:34:12]  You heard all the coming out of the White House.
[00:34:15]  The first lady throwing down hard on Jimmy Kimmel.
[00:34:17]  Jimmy Kimmel saying she had the glow of a widow on Friday night.
[00:34:21]  The first lady not happy, really in the attack mode, which is very rare for her.
[00:34:27]  You heard the Democrats today trying to blame Trump for this, et cetera, et cetera.
[00:34:32]  Where do you think we stand in this color revolution?
[00:34:35]  How can we fight back?
[00:34:37]  Well, it's extremely dangerous where you have the Democratic Party become a Leninist party, essentially.
[00:34:44]  So we can't use the old frameworks.
[00:34:48]  That we've used in American history, where the Democrats, of course, are the party of JFK.
[00:34:54]  They're not the party of JFK anymore.
[00:34:56]  They're the party of neo Bolshevik progressives, right?
[00:34:59]  It's really a party of Lenin with a modern Democratic Party.
[00:35:03]  So we need to see American politics through that lens.
[00:35:08]  And when we do, we can see how dangerous the situation is.
[00:35:13]  The situation we are as a result of decades in the making, to be sure.
[00:35:18]  These elements, these crises, heaven forbid if President Trump had been assassinated or wounded yesterday, excuse me, on Saturday, we can think about the state of the country and how dangerous we are to a radical tipping point.
[00:35:36]  So I see us, of course, and the argument of the book is what Americans need to do is recapture American identity to have an understanding of American spirit, to have an understanding of our political ideology.
[00:35:50]  And have an understanding of Western civilization.
[00:35:53]  And the stronger that identity is, the weaker communism is, right?
[00:35:56]  The weaker, the less likely Americans are going to fall under communist influence.
[00:36:02]  But likewise, the weaker that identity is, of course, and it's weaker because of the media, because of our educational system, because of our political system, the law firms, business, the stronger communism is.
[00:36:16]  So we need to reverse that balance of power.
[00:36:18]  We need to change that distribution of power and recapture American identity.
[00:36:24]  And that's fully in keeping with what we're able to do under President Trump's leadership, of course, and others working together to advance that goal.
[00:36:33]  Uh, we can do it.
[00:36:34]  The country is far from lost, but we are at a critical time, critical juncture.
[00:36:41]  Uh, Dr. Thayer, uh, social media, you're writing all the time and putting up uh, brilliant analysis on social media, also at various sites like American Greatness, Real Clear Politics.

=== Critical Juncture in Politics (10:37) ===

[00:36:51]  Where do people go?
[00:36:54]  Uh, Steve, absolutely.
[00:36:55]  Uh, Brad Thayer at X or Bradley Thayer at Truth and Getter.
[00:36:57]  And Steve, thanks so much for writing the forward to the book.
[00:37:00]  I greatly appreciate it.
[00:37:01]  It's a blockbuster.
[00:37:03]  It's the book is a classic.
[00:37:05]  I was honored to do it, so thank you, sir.
[00:37:10]  Momentarily, and we're going to skip our commercial break here in a moment.
[00:37:15]  We're going to go to Brian Glenn, who's at the Trump Kennedy Center.
[00:37:18]  Even as we speak, they're getting set up, get the lighting right and the sound.
[00:37:22]  Ashley Davis, the first employee ever, I think, of the Department of Homeland Security.
[00:37:27]  How ironic when we're having this fight, they're going to do, they're trying to push through really the permanent funding.
[00:37:34]  I think it's funding for the next two or three years for DHS, particularly for ICE.
[00:37:40]  Uh, and of course, this big battle over DHS and this controversy over the Secret Service.
[00:37:45]  So, Brian Glenn's gonna join us momentarily.
[00:37:49]  We started down in Tallahassee because there's a map.
[00:37:54]  And if we can put that map up while I wait, uh, Ron DeSantis, and as you know, the war room was not a huge supporter, didn't think that was a very good idea.
[00:38:03]  In fact, we hated it at the time.
[00:38:05]  And I know 99% of our viewers or 98% of our viewers didn't think it was a good idea, but he's, I think, he's a good governor, he's a solid governor.
[00:38:15]  Two things he's taken on is artificial intelligence.
[00:38:18]  This is one of the reasons to call it a special session, but it's really this redistricting.
[00:38:24]  And you see how aggressive the Democrats have been in all of New England.
[00:38:28]  Talk about the Revolutionary War.
[00:38:31]  In all of New England, and British strategy was basically the reason they sent an expeditionary force to New York, the largest expeditionary force, I think, at that time in human history, had, I believe, 300 warships.
[00:38:47]  And a big part of the British Army, plus Hessians.
[00:38:52]  They had these mercenaries from Germany.
[00:38:56]  It landed in New York because they were going to go up the Hudson and cut New England off from the Middle Atlantic states.
[00:39:02]  And they thought they'd end the revolution that way.
[00:39:07]  Today, and what would our founder, what would the revolutionary generation think that in a two party system, with I believe 45, 46% of the people, Voting Republican in New England.
[00:39:22]  Of course, those, you know, the Flinty Yankees up in Maine and Vermont, New Hampshire.
[00:39:29]  Now, there's not a ton of them like it used to be.
[00:39:31]  New Hampshire and these places used to have huge Republican parties.
[00:39:34]  They still have big Republican parties, but they used to have Republican parties that ran the state.
[00:39:43]  24, I think it's 24 congressmen, all Democrat, not one Republican.
[00:39:48]  In California, 48 to.
[00:39:51]  48 to 4.
[00:39:54]  And what Ron DeSantis did was, I believe, completely and totally heroic.
[00:39:58]  This map, and it just reflects, Caroline Wren is correct, and that's the mantra you hear from Caroline Wren all week from Tallahassee, is what you're seeing is just a manifestation or a reflection of the demographic shifts.
[00:40:14]  What's happened to folks coming into the states now?
[00:40:18]  We have Republican registrations, 1.5 million more than Democrat.
[00:40:25]  I mean, the two states have been just extraordinary.
[00:40:29]  You think from 16, because 16.
[00:40:31]  We were sweating bullets in Florida and Ohio.
[00:40:34]  Remember, Florida and Ohio were the two that if you won those, you won the presidency as a Republican.
[00:40:39]  Not the case anymore, but we've kind of taken those, I don't want to say off the map, but there's enough of a spread.
[00:40:47]  Obviously, right now, Ohio's got real issues in the governor's race, and that governor's race could affect the Senate race, particularly Sherrod Brown.
[00:40:57]  Very tough campaigner.
[00:40:59]  But would Ron DeSantis do we have the map up?
[00:41:01]  Can we put the map up again?
[00:41:03]  If you see the map, you're kind of shocked by it because the Democrats are now limited to basically some coastal enclaves and I think a university.
[00:41:15]  I think it's a university enclave.
[00:41:18]  But it's 24 to 4.
[00:41:21]  24 to 4.
[00:41:22]  And I agree with Caroline Wren 100%.
[00:41:26]  If the map, if we had been aggressive, and I don't think we were aggressive, there would have been another two seats picked up.
[00:41:34]  In Texas.
[00:41:34]  The Supreme Court today, huge news, the Supreme Court approved the Texas map.
[00:41:40]  And this, after weeks and weeks and weeks, that you're a nativist, you're a racist, this is xenophobic.
[00:41:48]  Nothing could be farther from the truth.
[00:41:49]  And Brian Harrison, who initiated this entire project here on the war room, is going to join us at 6 o'clock and talk to us about what it means for him and what it means for the people in the great state of Texas.
[00:42:03]  A huge victory down there.
[00:42:05]  One amending.
[00:42:06]  Remember, the first was to stop Paxton from being impeached, being removed from office.
[00:42:11]  The second was to make sure that we got these maps and then passed it.
[00:42:18]  That was a huge lift.
[00:42:20]  And the third was putting Sharia law on the ballot and putting Sharia law on the ballot down in Proposition 10 that prohibits Sharia law in the great state of Texas.
[00:42:32]  We got almost right below 2 million votes with no money, pure grassroots.
[00:42:37]  And that was the third victory for the grassroots.
[00:42:39]  And now, Paxton, depending on the poll you look, Paxton could be up five, six, seven, eight points, with still having an unbelievable amount of money spent to destroy him.
[00:42:52]  So, just an incredible day in this redistricting war.
[00:42:55]  Everything you heard over the last week, particularly about Virginia, oh, you guys initiated it.
[00:43:00]  No, this got initiated in New York State.
[00:43:03]  This is why DeGrasse is such an expert on it.
[00:43:05]  This got started, initiated in New York State years ago.
[00:43:09]  And I tell people, if DeGrasse and War Room and a handful of others hadn't gotten on top of this situation in 2022, you would not have control of the House today.
[00:43:21]  It was really, to a large extent, not simply flipping these seats or getting these seats so they were basically fair redistrictings, but it was the momentum of the grassroots and the fire put under the grassroots that these things are achievable, these things are doable.
[00:43:37]  That's what's so important about these redistricting wars.
[00:43:39]  And this is why.
[00:43:41]  Governor DeSantis is to be congratulated and I think honored that he did this.
[00:43:49]  This map, and people in DC, they're in shock.
[00:43:54]  They would think he may come up with one, he may come up with two.
[00:43:57]  He's a risk averse politician.
[00:44:01]  He's now getting down to his, he's getting down to the end of his term.
[00:44:06]  Lame duck.
[00:44:07]  You're not going to see that.
[00:44:08]  It was bold.
[00:44:10]  And this is what we need to write this ship and to give people momentum.
[00:44:14]  Also, what I'm hearing, and DeGrasse is working this Mississippi came out.
[00:44:19]  I think other states are going to come out, Louisiana.
[00:44:21]  When we have this, the gerrymandering along racial lines, when that is thrown out by the courts, And the liberals on the court are slow walking this.
[00:44:33]  They're slow walking this because they don't want to give enough time to actually change the districts for this midterm.
[00:44:42]  A number of states have already come up and said, hey, we don't care how late this is going to go, we're ready to go.
[00:44:47]  The governor of Mississippi said that.
[00:44:49]  I believe in Louisiana they've said that.
[00:44:52]  We need, and I think Alabama's going to say, we need Alabama to step up.
[00:44:56]  There should be no state in the South.
[00:45:00]  That if these judges slow walk us at the Supreme Court level and we don't get this ruling until, you know, in June when they get ready to leave, you've got to say, hey, look, call the, call the, we got a map.
[00:45:13]  We're ready to go.
[00:45:14]  Call the state, call the, call a special session of the assembly.
[00:45:17]  Get them all in there if they decide to do what they did in Texas.
[00:45:20]  Remember, remember all this nonsense?
[00:45:22]  They flew up to Chicago.
[00:45:24]  Remember on Rachel Maddow, they're in front of Pritzker and Pritzker had all those meetings in front of the microphones.
[00:45:29]  They're just a bunch of phonies.
[00:45:31]  If you have stick to it, it's a mess.
[00:45:36]  We will win.
[00:45:38]  If we don't quit, we win.
[00:45:39]  Texas is a perfect example.
[00:45:42]  Everybody said, no, he's not going to do it.
[00:45:44]  Abbott's not going to call it.
[00:45:45]  It's, you know, remember we'd have Brian Harrison on virtually every day and sometimes a couple of times a day.
[00:45:52]  Abbott's not going to call it.
[00:45:54]  And even if he calls it, he's not going to get around to it.
[00:45:56]  They're going to do other things.
[00:45:58]  It was your phone calls and your persistence that got that even rolling.
[00:46:06]  In Texas.
[00:46:07]  And like I said, I agree with Caroline.
[00:46:09]  I think there's a couple more.
[00:46:10]  I think we left a little meat on that bone because there were a couple more seats that we could have gotten.
[00:46:18]  But it wasn't too shabby.
[00:46:21]  There were five seats.
[00:46:22]  And this is because, oh, this started this thing.
[00:46:24]  And they went to California.
[00:46:25]  So, hey, they got, if they, their gerrymandering, they gerrymand.
[00:46:32]  And they're not shy about it.
[00:46:35]  Virginia and.
[00:46:38]  California, they have never said, hey, we're trying to do fair reapportionment because of demographic changes in our states.
[00:46:43]  No.
[00:46:44]  Theirs is 100% orange man bad.
[00:46:47]  Their campaigns are Trump derangement syndrome.
[00:46:50]  You see where Trump derangement syndrome leads.
[00:46:54]  It led to that kid, for what we know, because I still think there's tons of unanswered questions on the kid on the roof.
[00:47:01]  I don't really understand what's going on.
[00:47:02]  It's never been explained.
[00:47:04]  But the Butler, Pennsylvania situation, the situation of President Trump's golf course, In a Trump national down in West Palm Beach.
[00:47:16]  And then the other day on Saturday night, where you have these would be assassins who are looking to kill and assassinate President Trump.
[00:47:27]  That's how important President Trump is to our movement.
