Episode 5332: Raids Begin In Minneapolis To Stop The Destruction Of America; The King Meets With President Trump

Jimmy Kimmel and the First Lady clash over a roast, prompting Trump to demand Disney fire him while hosts condemn George Clooney's "deep state" narratives. Federal raids target Minneapolis Somali businesses alleged to fund politicians like Ilhan Omar, contrasting with DHS failures to deport millions. President Trump celebrates King Charles III's visit, citing Anglo-Saxon heritage and his mother's royal crush, before discussing H.R. 8443 to curb H-1B visa abuse. The episode concludes by linking the assassination attempt to far-left radicalization and highlighting farmers' economic struggles amidst rising fuel costs. [Automatically generated summary]

Speaker Time Text
ABC Roast Sparks Controversy 00:07:53
willie geist
Again is drawing criticism from the Trump administration, including from the president and first lady themselves for a comedy sketch that aired two days before that security scare at the White House correspondence dinner.
On Thursday's episode of his late night show, Kimball delivered a parody speech, like a roast, basically, noting that this year's event lacked that traditional comedian's roast.
So Kimball made one up instead, joking about several topics, including the first lady.
So that was on Thursday, a couple of days before the event on Saturday.
The first lady responded to that joke, writing in part on social media, Kimmel's hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country.
People like Kimmel should not have the opportunity to enter our homes.
President Trump adding on True Social, this is something far beyond the pale.
Jimmy Kimmel should be immediately fired by Disney and ABC.
While ABC has yet to comment, Kimmel responded last night.
jimmy kimmel
It was a very light roast joke about the fact that he's almost 80 and she's younger than I am.
It was not, by any stretch of the definition, a call to assassination.
And they know that.
I've been very vocal for many years speaking out against gun violence in particular.
But I understand that the First Lady had a stressful experience over the weekend, and probably every weekend is pretty stressful in that house.
And also, I agree that hateful and violent rhetoric is something we should reject.
I do, and I think a great place to start to dial that back would be to have a conversation with your husband about it.
Because.
unidentified
And by the way, I also should point out.
jimmy kimmel
Donald Trump is allowed to say whatever he wants to say, as are you, and as am I, as are all of us, because under the First Amendment, we have, as Americans, a right to free speech.
But with that said, I am sorry that you and the president and everyone in that room on Saturday went through that.
I really am.
Just because no one got killed doesn't mean it wasn't traumatic and scary.
And we should come together and be best.
We really should.
But if you want us to believe that a joke I made three days before this dinner had any effect on anything that happened, Well, then maybe someone should look into this psychic lady, too.
karoline leavitt
This speech tonight will be classic Donald J. Trump.
It'll be funny.
It'll be entertaining.
There will be some shots fired tonight.
jimmy kimmel
And you know who's going to be furious when she hears that?
White House Press Secretary Carolyn Levitt is who will be furious.
symone sanders-townsend
Number one killer of children right now in this country is gun violence.
So our children don't have the protection of a ballroom on White House grounds.
Our children don't have Secret Service agents or U.S. Marshals or private security protecting them.
Our children are exposed every single day.
And so we want to talk about bulletproof vests.
We're talking about bulletproof ballrooms.
We're talking about everything but gun safety, it feels like.
jacky rosen
Well, I can tell you that I thought about that after.
What if I was a kid hiding under my desk?
The silence in there, not knowing what was going on, and imagining you're a child and your teachers, whoever's in the room, you're trying not to cry, trying to, you know, kids are, well, they're kids, right?
And trying to keep them quiet.
And understanding that they don't know what's going on.
They want their mom, they want their mommy, their daddy.
And that feeling, I thought, here's me an adult, a senator in this room.
I don't know what's going on.
I'm afraid to pop my head up.
I don't know what's out there.
What does an eight year old feel?
What do they think about the rest of their lives from that?
I'm not going to forget diving under that table, and neither are you.
I'm not going to forget the noose on the plaza on January 6th.
I have nightmares.
If they would have caught any one of us, they would have hung us.
And that noose, you're talking about Mike Pence, meant for Mike Pence, but they were out for blood.
And so sometimes these experiences, well, good and bad, they stay with you your whole entire life.
So, what are we doing to our children?
When we put this responsibility on them and their teachers and their principals, why aren't we paying attention to that?
And those are the lessons we should take from all of this.
willie geist
So, Joe, that was Kimmel last night.
You saw the timeline.
The parody roast he did was on Thursday night, saying he explained it as an age gap.
There's just so much bad faith here.
People using a moment to hopefully they don't like Jimmy Kimmel.
They don't like the way he talks about Donald Trump every night, maybe get him fired.
Last time, those stations and ABC and Disney did listen for a time, and then he was put.
Back on the air.
We'll see how they hold up under pressure this time.
joe scarborough
Yeah, such crocodile tears.
You know, if they would sit back and just let things take their natural course, there would be enough criticism of Kimmel from their side.
But such crocodile tears from people who have sat back and said absolutely nothing.
When Donald Trump said the chairman of the joint Chiefs should be executed for treason, when president of the United States said Liz Cheney should be shot in the face With a firing squad, when he has also said other people should be killed or executed and put them in a position where they have to have 24 hour security.
It's happened time and time again.
So again, crocodile tears there.
Willie, you know, would I have said it?
unidentified
No.
joe scarborough
I wouldn't have said something like that about any president.
But guess what?
That's what happens at these roasts.
george clooney
Jimmy's a comedian, and I would argue that.
Caroline Levitt didn't mean shots should be fired, right?
She was making a joke.
Fair enough.
So I look at that side and go, well, jokes are jokes.
But the rhetoric, I think, is a little dangerous, and we've seen it a lot lately.
unidentified
It seems like on Saturday night there was an opportunity for a moment of unity between the press and the current administration.
Do you have faith that that might happen in the next couple of years?
george clooney
I always have faith in the press.
I always believe in it.
I'm a son of a journalist, you know.
I believe in.
I also think that you're not supposed to have a good relationship with government.
You're supposed to be questioning them.
You know, the people that I support, right, the Democrats, I'm a Democrat, I make no apologies for it.
The people that I support, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, they didn't enjoy getting, you know, chased down by reporters.
You know, people in power don't like to, you know, have to answer all the questions in the world.
unidentified
That's fair.
george clooney
They shouldn't enjoy it, and the reporters should make sure that they hold people's feet to the fire.
unidentified
That's the rules.
george clooney
You know, that's what Jefferson talked about in 1787.
We need to be able to have.
steve bannon
Free and fair press from the
film.
What in the line of fire?
Another quite forgettable Clint Eastwood film from, I guess, the 90s.
Clint Eastwood, I think, had a run of quite forgettable films, although he's a master of the craft.
It is Tuesday, 28 April, year overlord 2026.
Federal Raids and Jury Issues 00:15:45
steve bannon
We've got a full and packed show this morning.
However, the president of the United States, that would be Donald J. Trump, I think, has made some changes to the schedule.
Now, when the king comes over for a visit this morning, I think some of that.
Maybe open to the press.
So we're going to go and watch as much as we can stand with King Charles.
Although Rav is going to cover, as it should, his speech to the joint session of Congress today.
And then there's a state dinner at the White House later tonight for the special relationship.
I got Jack Basovic here.
So there's real breaking news.
Lead story in the New York Times today.
They finally caught up with what we've been talking about for, I don't know, four or five months.
Is that the midterm election is going to be quite tough.
We understand that.
But we've got better than a puncher's chance to do this if we get focused on the issues that drive MAGA and turn out the Trump voter and turn out the particular low propensity voter that supports President Trump.
That would be things like, I don't know, H 1B visas, mass deportations, more security at the border.
The Supreme Court, right now, the Trump administration just filed for a stay.
People are not following this, but we're talking to a lot of people in DHS and the border that they're lining up.
An appellate court has overruled President Trump's full stop on these amnesty, and so they're lining up at the border again.
We have so many issues in this country, including taking on the deep state, breaking that up.
And you just heard George Clooney right there, who's a big donor to Southern Poverty Law Center.
He's talking about, yeah, you know, the media gets both guys, gets Clinton, gets Clinton and Obama.
Are you kidding me, dude?
This is the guy, you know, he's not the brightest, not the sharpest bulb in the, or the brightest bulb out there.
The Federalist today, I think it's Margot Cleveland's got a great piece.
And last night, one of their other writers had two great pieces about what's happening over the Justice Department and with Grassley in coming up with Uranium One.
Remember all the Clinton Cash stuff that we got to 10 years ago?
It was the reason I was selected to go in and take over the campaign in August of 2016.
Peter Schweitzer, myself, the Breitbart crew, had really gotten into the Clinton Global Initiative, the Clinton Foundation, all the corruption, the kickbacks, uranium one, how they were actually in business with the Russians and making big bank because the media never touched it.
In fact, when we had a, I think, a 6,000 or 7,000 word story in the New York Times, because Peter and I and others, Winton Hall and others, had worked with the New York Times to get the facts out.
The media attacked the writers at the Times, not the Clintons.
So for George Clinton to say that is absolutely ridiculous.
Now, on the other side, I'm not for this buddy-buddy.
It was too thirsty.
President Trump is going to throw it in the hammer, but I just think it's too thirsty of Republicans and people in the administration to go on to hang out at the White House Correspondence Dinner.
And I do not believe there should be another one.
I think we ought to be adamant that, hey, they had it.
They were disorganized.
The more you find out about it, it's a complete joke about security.
unidentified
Yes.
steve bannon
That is part on the Secret Service, no doubt, part on Kung Fu Plumber over at DHS, part on the White House staff, but a big part is on the White House Correspondents Association.
There shouldn't be another dinner.
They can't guarantee the safety of the president and the senior command of this administration.
Grassley would have been president.
Think about that.
Chuck Grassley, big corn, would have been president at 9 30 at night.
He was the only guy not there.
Because at 91 years old, been there, done that, not interested.
Jack Posobic joins me.
Now, signal and noise.
Jack, you got a massive breaking story we're going to get to on things we ought to be doing in a hat tip to the FBI and the Justice Department.
We'll get to this in a moment.
But Jack Posobic, you know, they're going back and forth with Kimmel and Clooney.
And for Clooney to say that, it's just a joke.
And, you know, he's one of the biggest supporters of the biggest hate group in this country, which is Southern Poverty Law Center, sir.
jack posobiec
Well, Steve, that's exactly right.
And let's not forget, too, that this is Jimmy Kimmel who spread the lie that it was a MAGA Trump supporter that shot and killed Charlie Kirk.
That Jimmy Kimmel is one of the first people out there spreading this lie.
And what's key here for people like Clooney, who are behind the SPLC, for people like Jimmy Kimmel, who are the propagandists for the regime, remember how he acted during COVID and how his colleague Colbert acted during COVID.
And may everyone get the vax, everyone get the jab, demonizing people who wouldn't.
Remember what their role is and what their function is within the political structure of the left.
Their role is not to convince you.
They know that you can see through it.
It's not about convincing you.
Barack Obama, with his tweet, we don't know what the gunman's motive was.
It's about convincing their side.
It's about keeping their side asleep, about keeping the wool over their eyes, and about making them think that anyone who disagrees with us, you're a knuckle dragger, you're a creed.
You're a nail biter.
You're all these things.
You're some podunk from middle America who doesn't understand anything because they are terrified of revealing the actual truth about what's going on.
You can go read.
And Steve, you mentioned the New York Times, Washington Post.
You go look at the covers today.
It's this facile, vague language.
The gunman had a list of grievances.
What gunman?
Who was he targeting?
Who was he after?
He's appearing in court after alleged shooting.
I mean, it's not anywhere near.
The level of truth because they don't want their own side to break ranks.
steve bannon
Yeah, Boston Globe front page story.
It was tucked down in the lower right.
They said disturbance at correspondence dinner.
jack posobiec
Disturbance.
steve bannon
Causes chaos.
jack posobiec
Yeah, it was a car accident.
steve bannon
Disturbance.
jack posobiec
Somebody dropped a tray.
steve bannon
Assassination attempt.
jack posobiec
The chicken was undercooked.
Chicken was undercooked.
steve bannon
Exactly.
That's why you never go, never touch that undercooked chicken.
unidentified
Okay.
steve bannon
Poso's got real news, breaking news.
We're going to get to it.
Raids this morning in Minneapolis on Somalian daycare centers, rolling them up in Minneapolis.
We're going to get to it.
Jack Basobic has been working on this story from the get go.
Justice Department, FBI stepping up to the plate.
Short commercial break.
Back with Basobic after short commercial break.
unidentified
Now, with some breaking news developing right now, 8 o'clock, that we are following.
Federal agents are conducting search warrants across the Minneapolis St. Paul area.
Bill Keller joins us now with the very latest.
And Bill, tell us what you've learned, what's going on here.
Good morning.
bill keller
Well, it may not look like it, but this is actually a very active scene.
I'm going to step out of the way and show you that all these vehicles that look like unmarked vehicles are just that.
They are not lights and sirens, not heavily labeled vehicles, but we're talking about FBI and Homeland Security investigations.
What you're looking at right now is the Somali Senior Center.
We're in the West Phillips neighborhood.
This is one of nearly two dozen spots where we're told that federal agents will be stopping today.
Now, according to the FBI and Homeland Security, agents are currently executing 22 warrants.
Now, this is across the city of Minneapolis.
We're told this is a Federal fraud investigation that is largely looking into some Somali owned businesses, and this is not an immigration related incident.
Now, according to the special agent Matthew Vogel, there are federal, state, and local law enforcement that are doing this as part of this ongoing criminal investigation.
Again, just developing.
This has been going on for a couple of hours now, but again, this will be going on at several locations throughout the Twin Cities, primarily here in Minneapolis.
Again, we're waiting for FBI agents likely to be coming out of this building.
With boxes of evidence.
We're going to stay out here throughout the morning and bring you the very latest as news develops.
For now, though, we'll throw back to you guys.
unidentified
Yeah, 22 search warrants.
So this is quite the operation.
steve bannon
Jack Basobic, long time coming, but the day came.
Explain to us what's going on, sir.
jack posobiec
All right, Steve.
So late last night, I received information that I sat on until this morning because I didn't want to get ahead of operations that were active that members of the FBI, AM agents, and HSI, which is under the Department of Homeland Security.
So, a joint operation, DOJ DHS, now conducting 22 raids, search warrants up in these fraudulent businesses and enterprises across Minnesota, predominantly in the Minneapolis area.
And of course, that's exactly where we were covering with Secretary Besant just a couple of months ago.
We know the vice president is now up on the fraud position, looking at that from a task force perspective.
They're in the field, they're conducting these raids, many of which Uh, Ilhan Omar's community is certainly under scrutiny as well.
But these are federal raids that were ordered and executed by acting Attorney General Todd Blanch.
So you saw what he did with the SPLC last week.
Now he's taking it directly to the fraudsters in Minneapolis.
It's a story, obviously, we've been covering here on War Room and we've been covering over at Human Events Daily, including on the ground for months and months.
Ask and really go even going back all the way to 2024.
If you talk about how we talked about this.
During the campaign, and it became such a huge issue.
Now we're finally, after years of talking about this, getting the type of action and accountability that we need to see.
The ball is finally rolling.
22 search warrants and raids being conducted as we speak.
unidentified
Yeah.
steve bannon
This is going after the deep state and then the Southern Poverty Law Center aspects of it.
This is where you see the funding.
This is how they destroyed our country.
Remember, and that's why these two articles, the article in the New York Times today featuring Mike Howe.
And what we've created with the mass deportation coalition.
Mike is going to be on Thursday, and then Rosemary Jenks is going to be on the second hour.
Ambassador Carla Sands has a magnificent piece in the Daily Caller about H 1B visas.
This is what's destroying the country, but it's paid for by you.
And the Somalian thing is the tip of the spear, but you get this.
And Jack, this shows you, I think, a very different type of focus over at Maine Justice.
By Todd Blanch and the team there, and with cash to make sure we stop playing games.
Let's go down, let's do these raids, let's kick down some doors.
And although this, I think, was very general, they knocked and went and got all the files, get all the data, then let's come back with some indictments, some perp walks.
jack posobiec
Well, Steve, that's what we're looking at now.
And you know, this is something where it was really kept under wraps, even from local reporters, local journalists, until the very final moment.
And so they had not seen this coming.
I'm actually told that the quality leering center that Nick Shirley made famous.
Back in January, is one of the entities that's under target.
But, Steve, to your broader point, this isn't just about quote unquote immigrants or immigrant communities like the media, I'm sure, is already, I can see, is already trying to spin this.
This is about the slush fund that is put into place for politicians like Ilhan Omar, like Tim Walz, the winery, the fraud.
It is a culture of fraud that they are simmering in, that they're marinating in, and it is completely funded by your tax dollars.
And, Steve, I'll take this a step further.
I think they should look at the religious based charities as well that are operating in the name of good religions, whether it be my beloved Catholics, the Catholic charities, the Lutherans, different Jewish groups, whatever it is.
If you're operating fraud, you got to go after it.
steve bannon
Big time.
Those three right there are terrible up in Minnesota.
Also, folks, keep it in mind what Todd and the team and Cash and the team are working with.
I'm not so sure the local DOJ guys, they've had some changes, but they had six.
Remember, In these blue, particularly in sanctuary cities, they're not playing for the, they're not on our side.
They're against us.
And right now, as you know, it'd be very difficult to get even a grand jury or jury nullification in Minneapolis because of how radicalized they are on any type of charges.
So, Maine Justice, when they're working, you've got to be very selective.
This is why, Jack, there was no leaks on this whatsoever.
This was tightly, this was hermetically sealed.
And I believe it was hermetically sealed from a lot of guys.
Out there in the field office of Minneapolis because right now, jury nullification.
Look, it's not a done deal that with a DC jury that you would get a conviction on the assassin.
This jury nullification, these people are radical.
It's tough to bring grand jury charges out in Minneapolis.
I think it would be very tough as they coach these people on jury nullification, be tough.
So Todd and this team and Cash and his team have got to be very, very, very careful and hermetically sealed, sir.
jack posobiec
Well, Steve, that's exactly right.
And fortunately, there are areas in Minnesota where, in these federal districts, where they're able to pull from, where they're able to pull juries from that hopefully get outside of the city.
But look, we were there in the streets up in after these attempted attacks on federal agents that were just out there doing their jobs.
We had Kevin Pasopic as the field correspondent, he was embedding with ICE a couple of times going out there, and he would see how they would track these people in the street or Commander Bovino when he was running the raids.
And they would track them like domestic terrorists, including armed domestic terrorists, go out and stalk federal agents and then head up there.
So you get those people on a jury.
You're exactly right, Steve.
They are going to say, We have no problem with what they're doing here.
Or they come in D.C., they're going to say, We agree with the manifesto.
We agree with this.
They might only, I actually tweeted this.
I said, The only thing they're going to be upset with is that the assassin didn't get the job done.
steve bannon
That's how radical these juries are.
The country's divided for a reason.
They've allowed, they try to stop Trump from getting the presidency.
They tried to stop Trump's first term, and they did a pretty good job of stopping a lot of things he wanted to accomplish.
They went after him when he was in exile.
They tried to stop coming back.
They fought us every step of the way.
They allowed 15 to 25 million illegal alien invaders on their watch.
I also want to make a comment in this New York Times piece today with Mike Howe and the Mass Deportation Coalition, because it talks about there's no appetite for this over at DHS.
Disgruntled Juries and Internal Data 00:11:32
steve bannon
And so you got Kung Fu Plumber, who's running it now, Mark Wayne Mullen.
Going to break down and give me some kung fu.
But he's not going to do any mass deportations.
The story ends.
It's about Bovino.
Bovino, as you know, Jack, we refer to him as the type of person Caesar needed to pacify Gaul, right?
Bovino's got a public statement out on one of his hits on a podcast.
He says he believes we could deport legally 100 million people, 100 million illegal aliens in the country.
And a DHS spokesman, and we've called over there because I want to find out who it is because they ought to be terminated immediately.
They end this New York Times story by saying a disgruntled former employee of DHS can like think what he wants.
Screw you.
Screw you.
DHS, what are you doing about mass deportations?
What is Kung Fu Plumber doing about that?
And the spokesman that calls Bovino a hero and a patriot, and Bovino's 100% correct.
There's 100 million.
When you count all the ones that came in before, there's 100 million.
And all they're working on.
Including 20 traitorous Republicans, are working on an amnesty bill to let those people have citizenship.
And then if you do that, you're going to have another $250 million here.
You've already got them lined up at the border right now.
Well, and people inside at DHS reached out to me and said, Hey, they're all lining up right now, thinking that the Supreme Court doesn't give a stay.
This thing burns off on Friday.
Jack Posovic.
jack posobiec
Well, Steve, I think we also, and we've had Commander Bovino on Human Events, and he told us the same number.
And one thing that I would point out to anyone who questions it is this is a guy who for 30 years, Had access to the internal numbers of Homeland Security, had access to the internal databases of Border Patrol.
And by the way, he worked on the border for three decades.
So, this is a guy who knows exactly intimate knowledge of the flows across the border, the caravans.
He knows and he's been able to estimate he was in charge of the El Centro region down there in California, where they're coming across in Southern California and then all the way across the land border, which he would hike.
Personally, so you know, for them to say that to brush this off like it's a remark of a discreet boy, no, I think it's actually someone who's intimately aware of the problem set.
steve bannon
That's a subject matter dedicated his life, dedicated his life to solving this.
This is why this thing with the Supreme Court, the state we're asking for, we have a very tenuous hold on this, folks.
Don't think this is locked, it's far from locked, and they're going to reverse it as soon as they take power.
Posso, your social media, sir, you're the Associated Press of the MAGA movement in your Twitter feed, sir.
jack posobiec
Well, Steve, thanks so much.
And we were honored to be the first to break the story about the Minnesota and the fraudsters this morning up on X.
So if you're following us there, you got the news before anyone.
Actually, I think Tanya Tay was the first who got the scoop over breakfast this morning.
But then after that would be X.
So give us a follow there.
And of course, we'll be up at 2 o'clock.
steve bannon
Thank you, brother.
Looking forward to the 2 p.m. show.
Jack Vasoba, great work in Minneapolis.
Short commercial break going back to the White House.
unidentified
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
Okay, the story is actually Washington Post.
It's not New York Times, Washington Post.
It's about the people looking the other way on mass deportations.
You're going to have to go, if you want to hold the House, you're going to have to go back to that.
Full stop.
I was in Texas, I was in Virginia.
If you want to win, it can't be all this crap with the lobbyists, Fabrizio, Las Avida, all these guys on multiple people's payroll.
Giving you bad information.
And Las Vegas' track record is horrendous.
And there should be a criminal investigation of what he's doing down in Texas of burning this money to destroy Ken Paxton in the grassroots movement, full stop.
This is how that, and this story is a great story.
My cow's profiled, other people are profiled in there fighting for mass deportations and going to the employers.
This is what the American people want.
The last paragraph, if Denver could put it up and highlight it or box it.
This is the last paragraph.
This is after Bovino says there's a hundred million deportations we could do.
We don't have a country unless you do this.
Is it hard?
Yes.
Is the media and the George Clooney's of the world going to fight you every step of the way?
Yes.
If you want to save your country, you're just going to have to power through it.
I'm sorry.
And this is why President Trump was the greatest comeback in history.
This is the central issue.
The central issue.
And to hold accountability, who did this, which is the deep state trying to destroy.
This country, the neo Marxist and the jihadist that have taken over New York City.
Through both, we got both a problem with Sharia law in this country, we got a problem with H 1B visas.
And we have to give a permission structure to be up to go after both of them.
This is the final paragraph after Bovino made that quote on Human Events Daily and other places about 100 million.
This is a guy that 30 years, the reason he knows the number for 30 years, he labored.
For this country on customs and border.
So he knows.
He knows the numbers.
This guy dedicated his life to his country and some punk over at DHS working for, and they didn't put their name in it, but we're going to find out because they got to be turfed out immediately.
And Mark Wayne Mullins, Kung Fu Plumber, has got to get serious about this.
He's got to get serious about this.
He was atrocious.
In his confirmation hearing, and he was worse on the Laura Ingram show, which she had to bring him up short.
He gives me the we're a nation immigrant, stop, dude.
I've heard the left wing propaganda.
This is how it reads Bovino could not be reached for comment.
In response to a question about Bovino, the DHS spokesperson said, and here's the quote Disgruntled former employees at DHS are welcome to criticize their nation's leadership, unquote.
unidentified
Screw you.
steve bannon
A disgruntled former employee, you're going to be a disgruntled former employee.
This is crap.
And people are fighting to make sure that people listen.
If the war room posse takes a pass, if you lean on your rakes, there's going to be a 30 seat blowout, full stop.
A 30 seat blowout.
So all the money and the Las Vitas and the Fabrizios and all these geniuses that have blown everything they've touched and the Mike Johnsons of the world understand.
That without the grassroots in this country fired up to go door to door and do voter contact, this is a blowout.
They had the article oh, the GOP feels like they got a firewall, and that's all the money they've raised.
All corporate money all comes with donors and lobbyists' greasy hands attached to it.
No, that's not going to save you.
It's not.
And so, for people that are concerned about the Trump revolution, we need to have some action.
Now, today, you finally started getting something with going in and let's get the Somalian fraud and let's indict some people.
We're going to go to the White House.
It's kind of up in the air about the king.
Brian Glemm.
By the way, great interview tucked in.
We haven't played it here.
We're going to play it this morning or this afternoon with Mr. Wonderful yesterday.
Great job on that.
Today at the White House, these were all supposed to be behind, I guess, close to the press.
But is that changing?
The King, is the King arrived yet?
Supposed to be at 10 30, sir.
brian glenn
Yeah.
Good morning, Steve.
And thank you, by the way.
That was a great interview with Ashley Davis and Mr. Wonderful himself.
Let me step aside.
I want to set the scene for you here, real quickly.
We are on the South Lawn gathered and prepared for the King.
Uh, Charles and Queen Camellia come down here and meet President Trump.
They're running a few minutes behind.
I think they were waiting for the rain.
And ironically, the rain just stopped.
It was raining here briefly, but we've got members of the Space Force, the U.S. Coast Guard, and all the branches of military, uh, really rolling out the red carpet with the music and the reception.
We expect a 21 cannon gun salute here in a few minutes, plus a flyover, plus all the pageantry that you expect on the arrival.
Of this.
And if I could, Jonah, let's see if we can whip the camera around to your left, your right.
You'll see members not only of the administration, cabinet, family members gathered here.
And behind the camera, I would probably say several thousand people, both from the UK and the US, all gathered here, waving their flags in anticipation of this very important meeting.
And then a little bit later today, as we talked about, King Charles will be making his way to the Hill to address Congress, which, from what I understand, Is this the second time that has happened?
It looks like some of the people are starting to arrive.
So, a big day here on the South Lawn, Steve.
And it's great to have the fact that the media is here to cover this.
Now, in regards to the meetings coming up later today, that has been close to the press.
But as always, I will always ask if we can be allowed in to cover that for you right here on Real America's Voice.
steve bannon
So, the Queen or the Queen Consort, as we like to refer to her here in the war room, Just doing protocol the correct way because we're sticklers for that.
She's got some events with her, some evolutions, I'll call it, in a Navy term in the White House in a roundabout with the First Lady.
The King is supposed to go to the Oval.
Now, by prior agreement, that bilat is not going to be open to the press.
But man, would that be amazing.
President Trump with King Charles, but I think that's close to the press, Brian.
I tell you what, we love pageantry, we're suckers for that.
Although we're not big names in monarchy, we're suckers for the pageantry.
So we're going to come back, Brian.
Just give us a heads up.
As soon as people start to arrive, we'll cut right back to you.
In fact, we'll blow the brake.
What I want to do, I got Eric Bowling.
Let me bring Bowling in.
I was going to do Brian Harrison.
We've got these interviews about Texas and Florida because the fight continues, folks.
Remember, you are the reason that we got this fight going for redistricting, and we're winning.
Eric Bolling, yesterday we said President Trump wasn't going to have anything about if he just gave him straight of her moves open and he had to withdraw the carrier battle groups and do the blockade with nothing done on nuclear weapons.
So he's not going to be part of that.
He's not going to do that.
OPEC Exit and Oil Swaps 00:11:06
steve bannon
And he did, and he turned it down.
But UAE, and I wonder if it's tied to the Scott Besant, you know, the giving them a credit or swap line so they got more dollars.
I happen to think that these Gulf Emirates are in worse financial shape that's being led on because UAE just said moments ago, correct me if I'm wrong, that they are dropping out of, given their new close relationship with the United States of America, they're going to drop out of OPEC, sir?
eric bolling
Yeah, 100% right, Steve.
As of May 1st, which is Friday, they're out of OPEC.
And I would guess, venture guess, that that was a negotiation with Besson.
Remember, we talked about how the swap line wasn't a loan or a grant, it was really.
Kind of a low expense way to keep the US dollar as the petrodollar globally.
I thought it was a great idea after further review.
I didn't like it at first, but I will.
So Basson ties a little string to it as well.
Breaking OPEC is a huge thing.
If UAE drops out, maybe you get Qatar to drop out or you get, God forbid, Saudis drop out.
It's over.
The OPEC, Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, is an illegal cartel.
They're price fixing the global market for oil, whether you like it or not, whatever comes out of there.
Third of the world's oil.
I don't know, maybe a little more.
If they price fix that, all oil will rise, and their only intent is to raise oil prices.
I've never seen OPEC lower an oil price.
They raise their prices all the time.
They can quietly lower it on their own, but when they get together, it's usually to screw the rest of the world only to line their own pockets.
I would agree.
Correct me, correct me.
steve bannon
Help me out here.
Help me out here.
My theory of the case is to, hey, get through this thing and bring it all home.
And, you know, a reaver dirty.
I hope it works out for you guys.
With the Russians and the Chinese, you know, you never liked us.
You always brought us in when you were in trouble.
So now it's somebody else's turn because we've got, if you bring Guyana online, we've got 10 times more oil than we need.
We're a massive exporting country now, you know, et cetera, et cetera.
I believe that if the UAE is saying they're going to drop out of OPEC on Friday, and there may be many people in our audience that don't realize the old days when OPEC, Was actually, I think, more powerful than it is today, but it's still powerful when OPEC controlled the world.
To have the UAE just dropping out on Friday on a moment's notice, I think it shows that the swap, and I think I was right here, and you might have been a little too, how do I say this, pom poms up on the swap line.
There's something deeper in this swap line, and there's something deeper with now a commitment.
They said geoeconomic agenda here, Besson's geoeconomic agenda.
Part of that means you're going to have bases, troops, military engagement.
They're not dropping out of OPEC if they think the Americans are leaving.
They're dropping out of OPEC because they think they got a new partner.
Am I wrong in that?
I think either militarily we're going to be there, and there's something to this swap that's more than just a swap line.
I happen to believe they're in deep financial trouble, right?
They're in deep financial trouble.
They're almost as much financial trouble as the Iranians are.
Eric Bowling, you know the oil markets a thousand times more than I do.
Your thoughts?
eric bolling
I think you're right.
I think they're all sucking wind right now, Steve, because they live a certain lifestyle on fat oil and selling a ton of the oil to the world market.
Again, illegally propping the price of global oil up through the cartel.
My question is Is it a temporary leaving the OPEC cartel, or are they going to jump right back in once they feel like all things are okay now in their private coffers or the swap line?
They don't need the swap line anymore.
I hope they make that very, very binding, legally binding.
So I don't know.
I tell you, the reason why OPEC doesn't have the, let's call it the, sorry, the balls it used to have is because.
In the early 70s, when we had the first oil price shock, they controlled the world's oil somewhere around 50% or more of the world's oil.
And the United States was dependent on that oil.
We woke up then and we realized we had to drill our own oil, get more aggressive, providing ourselves with our own petroleum products.
And we did.
And that's why, because the United States isn't fixed on their junk like a junkie is fixed on drugs, fixed on the OPEC junk, the oil, they lost a lot of that power.
But yet they still do have a Quite a bit of sway in certainly European oil markets and in Asian oil markets, which will filter into our markets at some point until, like I said, until we've been talking about this, we get fully independent on energy, which I believe Trump has the ability to do it.
Trump also did say, and the reason why I'm just up to speed right now, WTI, West Texas, is trading $100 a barrel right now.
That's up about $3 a barrel, but this morning it was trading up to $104.
So when Trump said that the Iranians have called him and said, They'll do any, or in essence, I mean, you can read it to you if you want.
In essence, they'll do anything.
Trump says Iran has just informed us that they are in a state of collapse.
They want us to open the Hormuz straight as soon as possible as they try to figure out their leadership situation, which I believe they will be able to do.
Thank you for your attention to this matter, President Donald J. Trump.
So he's signaling that there may be an imminent deal.
I'm not sure this could be another, I hate to say it, but taco, but that's what traders are calling it.
But it could be another situation where.
We're believing, led to believe that a deal may be struck.
And again, the details of that deal matter.
And then maybe down the road, the Iranians say, no, that's not the case.
They refute Trump's truths and oil shoots right back up.
The trend is still higher.
They just won't believe it until they see it.
They're from, was it Missouri?
steve bannon
The trend is, by the way, from where we were a week ago, the trend's a lot higher, isn't it?
I mean, it's over 100 bucks a barrel for West Texas, over 100.
What is it?
For Brett, for the European.
What is it?
eric bolling
113, 114 Brett right now.
steve bannon
113, yeah.
I would say it's slightly changed.
eric bolling
They've ignored the rhetoric.
They've ignored Iranians' comments.
They frankly ignored Trump's comments.
They call it tacos.
And so they're saying, where is this?
And something very important is happening right now.
The Iranian oil storage, they're these huge, huge storage facilities.
They call them tank farms.
And they literally, Thousands of acres of these massive oil tanks, they're approaching full, which means when they hit full, which could be any day, they will stop.
They'll shut in production.
When you shut in production on a major oil exporting country, you're talking about future price shocks.
Yeah, they'll work through the oil, the tank farm supply, but then they've shut in production.
It takes a while to get that production down and back up.
And so people are predicting Goldman Sachs just raised their target price for crude oil going forward.
So there is a concern there.
steve bannon
Coleman raised it to what 108?
So braver than when he gets so big.
eric bolling
Oh, they raised it to 80.
Steve, I swear in my life, you can't make this up, but they were below 80.
They were probably at 65, 70 for most of the year, and they just raised it to 80, meaning that's for the average for the whole year.
So you average the early January and February because we started February 28th.
unidentified
But they're predicting right now.
eric bolling
Even at that number, Steve, they're predicting a lower price going forward.
I'm sorry.
steve bannon
Isn't what's happening below the surface is that, and how do I say this politely?
The oil traders, distributors, the folks, because right now they're thinking of.
Of taking the UAE and oil offline because they don't have storage capacity either, correct?
So they're going to be like the Iranians, although we are letting some of their vessels out.
Isn't the signal on this that people believe, even with quote unquote a deal, and that may never be signed, that the pirate element, the wildest card in this, the folks down near Hormuz who have been living there for a couple thousand years now have.
Ability to monetize something they've always wanted to monetize, which is oil going out of the Persian Gulf, that they're not giving that up, that any deal will have some aspect that they have some at least modicum of control, whether it's a negative control or whatever.
And people are coming to the conclusion that anything that we do in bringing this to an end and everybody going home will have that as an ongoing reality, sir.
eric bolling
Yeah, you're 100% right.
In fact, I sent something to you, I think, over the weekend that the Suez Canal is now reporting oil vessels that they would not usually be seeing through the Suez Canal.
They're charging $4 million to transit the Suez Canal versus the Strait of Hormuz.
So you're talking a massive amount of increased price per barrel, then, therefore, price per gallon increase on all this oil that's transported around the world now, which will end up On our pumps in the next 30, 45 days, if there's an all clear tomorrow, which I'm not sure there's going to be.
I also tell you that when we were in Dallas for CPAC, I went to a refiner and a producer and sat with their traders, and they were both saying, I don't know where it's going to go, but I am very concerned.
Therefore, I have to be sure I don't get screwed on the upside, and they're buying physical oil just to protect themselves.
That hasn't changed.
I still talk to these people, still talk to other folks too.
Talked to Luke Oil a couple of days ago, reported with you guys.
They're very nervous on the upside.
They're very more concerned about the upside than the downside for a producer of oil.
Normally, they're worried about a downside because you produce oil, you worry about your product being produced at a price, at a level, and then the bottom falls out of it.
They're still worried about the upside because they're concerned that if it continues to go higher, they're not going to be able to deliver what they've already promised to deliver.
So, both producers and refiners who should have opposite takes on the direction of, or at least, Desires on the direction of the oil market are both looking at higher oil prices, one as a hedge and one as a concern that they may not be able to fill their refineries.
steve bannon
When you say become totally independent of oil, I want the audience to understand this.
Right now, if you look at it, we're not quote unquote totally independent.
National Anthem for the King 00:14:24
steve bannon
We do import, but those imports are basically from Mexico and from Canada, correct?
And some, okay, let's go.
We're going to go to the White House right now.
Eric, hang on for a second.
Let's go to Brian Glenn and the team at the White House.
The king, I think, has arrived.
unidentified
Three, done.
Oh.
Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, and First Lady Melania Trump.
Ladies and gentlemen, the National Anthem of the United Kingdom, followed by the National Anthem of the United States.
Ladies and gentlemen, please be seated.
Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump.
donald j trump
Thank you very much, everybody.
What a beautiful British day this is.
And it really is.
Your Majesty's members of the British delegation, friends, service members, and distinguished guests, welcome to the beautiful White House.
Spectacular Honor at Windsor Castle 00:03:46
donald j trump
Great honor to have you.
Melania and I will never forget the spectacular honor Your Majesty's showed us during our extraordinary visit to Windsor Castle.
Last September.
Now it is our tremendous privilege to host you, and you're going to have a wonderful, short stay, but stay nevertheless.
Then you're going over to Congress, and you're going to make a speech that's going to make everybody very envious of that beautiful accent of yours.
Very elegant, he's a very elegant man.
Here in the shadows of monuments to George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, honoring the British King.
Might seem an ironic beginning to our celebration of 250 years of American independence, but in fact, no tribute could be more appropriate.
Long before Americans had a nation or a constitution, we first had a culture, a character, and a creed.
Before we ever proclaimed our independence, Americans carried within us the rarest of gifts moral courage, and it came from a small but mighty kingdom from across the sea.
For nearly two centuries before the Revolution, this land was settled and forged by men, women, who bore in their souls the blood and noble spirit of the British.
Here on a wild and untamed continent, they set loose the ancient English love of liberty and the great Britain's distinctive sense of glory, destiny, and pride.
And that's what it is glory, destiny, and pride.
The American patriots who pledged their lives.
To independence in 1776, were the heirs to this majestic inheritance.
Their veins ran with Anglo Saxon courage.
Their hearts beat with an English faith in standing firm for what is right, good, and true.
In recent years, we've often heard it said that America is merely an idea, but the cause of freedom did not simply appear as an intellectual invention of 1776, the American founding was the culmination of hundreds of years of thought, struggle, sweat, blood, and sacrifice on both sides of the Atlantic.
Fate drew a long arc from the meadow at Runnymede to the streets of Philadelphia that ran through the lives of people born and bred on the British code that no man should be denied either justice or right.
American patriots today can sing, My Country Tis of Thee, Sweet Land of Liberty, only because our colonial ancestors first sang, God Save the King.
We see today a living symbol of this centuries old bond just a few dozen feet to the left where I stand.
There, Her Late Majesty, Queen Elizabeth, an incredible woman who I had the privilege of getting to know.
Queen Elizabeth II, a very, very special woman who is very greatly missed on both sides of that mighty Atlantic, long ago planted a young tree.
Roots of Anglo-American Bond 00:02:57
donald j trump
It was a very young and beautiful tree, and look at it now.
It's tripled in size and tripled in strength, very much as our nations have even more than tripled.
Like our nation itself, it was laid with British hands but grew in American soil.
Today it stands tall and proud, reaching ever higher.
And this morning it reminds us that the mightiest of trees, like the greatest of nations, must be anchored by the strongest and deepest of roots.
In the centuries since we won our independence, Americans have had no closer friends than the British.
We share that same root, we speak the same language, we hold the same values.
And together, our warriors have defended the same extraordinary civilization under twin banners of red, white, and blue.
My wonderful mother, Mary MacLeod, Mary MacLeod, was born in Stornoway, Scotland, the Hebrides, and that's what they call very serious Scotland.
There's no question about it.
Some places they say, well, it wasn't really Scotland, the Hebrides, that's real serious Scotland.
That's where they had their greatest of warriors.
The greatest of warriors.
She came to America at 19, met my incredible father.
We loved him so much.
We all loved him.
We loved her, we loved him, Fred, and they were married for 63 years.
And excuse me if you don't mind.
That's a record we won't be able to match, darling.
I'm sorry.
Just not going to work out that way.
We'll do well, but we're not going to do that well.
63 years.
And my mother, I just see it so clearly.
She loved, and I told the king this, she loved the royal family.
And she loved the queen.
And anytime the queen was involved in a ceremony or anything, my mother would be glued to the television and she'd say, Look, Donald, look how beautiful that is.
She really did love the family, but I also remember her saying very clearly Charles, look, young Charles, he's so cute.
unidentified
It's my mother.
donald j trump
My mother had a crush on Charles.
Can you believe it?
Amazing how, I wonder what she's thinking right now.
Churchill's Vision for Friendship 00:03:41
donald j trump
But beneath those beautiful flags, eight decades ago, Prime Minister Winston Churchill and President Franklin Roosevelt famously met on a ship in the North Atlantic to outline a vision for the free world after World War II.
That understanding of our nation's unique bond and role in history is the essence of our special relationship, and we hope it will always remain that way.
The ship where the two great leaders met was called the Prince of Wales, the very title that His Majesty the King held longer than any other individual.
In British history, and he held it with great pride and respect.
It said that when Prime Minister Churchill first met this future king many decades ago, he was so impressed.
He made the statement he is so young to think so much and so well.
And the bust of your great Prime Minister rests proudly again in the Oval Office.
We're very proud to bring it back.
We brought it back throughout His Majesty's life.
The world has witnessed that same thoughtfulness which first struck Britain's greatest Prime Minister.
His Majesty's intellect, passion, and devotion have been long, really, a blessing, blessing to the British people, but not only to his own country, but to the cherished bond between the United States and the United Kingdom.
And I am very certain that it will continue that way long into the future.
In a few hours, His Majesty will stand in the heart of the United States Capitol as the very first British King ever to address a joint session of the United States Congress.
So he's going to be addressing Congress, and I'm going to be watching.
I was thinking of going, but they said, I don't know, that might be a step too far.
I would love to go.
It's not supposed to be protocol, but I would love to be with you.
But there, the direct descendant of King George III will speak to the direct successor of the very body that gathered in Independence Hall on July 4th, 1776.
If John Adams and George Washington, or the king's fifth great grandfather, Could see that sight, they might be absolutely shocked, but probably only for a moment.
Surely they would be delighted that the wounds of war healed into the most cherished friendship.
Think of that very, very long ago difficult war, and yet those wounds did indeed heal into the most cherished of friendships, most cherished.
They would be moved beyond words to know that the Soldiers who once called each other Redcoats and Yankees became the Tommies and the GIs who together saved the free world as brothers in arms and brothers in eternity, and nobody fought better together than us.
250 Years of Anglo Freedom 00:09:57
donald j trump
If they could see us today, our ancestors would surely be filled with awe and pride that the Anglo American revolution in human freedom was never, ever extinguished.
But carried forward across centuries, across oceans, and across history until it became a fire that lit the entire world.
So today we look back on 250 years.
Let us remember what has made our countries the two most exceptional nations the world has ever known.
And together let us go forward with even stronger resolve to carry on our sacred devotion to liberty and to the traditions of excellence.
That have been our shared gift of all mankind.
Your Majesties, thank you once again for making this important visit.
We are so honored.
May God forever bless the United Kingdom, Great Britain, and Northern Ireland, and may God bless the United States of America.
Thank you very much, everybody.
Thank you.
unidentified
Ladies and
gentlemen, please rise, if you are able, for the conclusion of the ceremony and departure of the official party.
steve bannon
The passing review of the troops, the president, and the king of England.
Now, the queen consort and the first lady, they've got various activities.
Believe that the king is going to the Oval Office, gonna have a sit down with the president that is closed to the press, as was previously negotiated.
Remember when we did this in Windsor Castle?
Was it last summer?
Fairly inclement weather, but they stayed out there for the entire event.
The president loved it, and so he did want to make sure the king saw.
Tactics Behind Left Wing Activism 00:15:39
steve bannon
A passenger view of the American military.
He got it right there.
Space Force and Coast Guard, I think, were thrown in also.
Just absolutely magnificent.
Look at that.
We do love the pageantry here at the war room.
Just fantastic.
Presence inside.
Troops are right there.
Let's go ahead.
I want to bring in, we've got Natalie Winters got a great piece that I want to get into before we punch out today, but also Rosemary Jenks.
Ambassador Carla Sands got a great piece up in the Daily Caller about.
There's two great pieces today.
One, how we're not doing mass deportations anymore at DHS.
And I commented on that earlier.
Also, Carla Sands, former ambassador under President Trump, has got a great piece up in Daily Caller about the abuses of the H-1B program.
And she says that on the very day that we went in, 22 warrants.
Served on Somalian daycare centers in Minneapolis by Todd Blanch and folks at the Justice Department and FBI under Kash Patel.
This piece on the H 1B visas, I believe, I think that you address it in this new bill with Eli Crane, do you not, ma'am?
rosemary jenks
Absolutely.
The part of the biggest problem in our immigration system is that the numbers are simply overwhelming.
So there's no way that the State Department, which vets, Visa applicants from abroad or USCIS, which vets them within the United States, can actually do an effective job.
So, by first of all, pausing the entire H 1B system for three years to get a total reset on the program, including making all of the current H 1Bs who are in the United States leave, that will give us an opportunity to sort through who's here and who's not and require them to actually leave.
But also, when the program restarts under this bill, The cap would be reduced to 25,000 with no exceptions.
So, right now, there are well over 100,000 H 1B visas issued every year because some of them are cap exempt.
This would eliminate that and reduce it to 25,000.
It's going to be a whole lot easier for the State Department and USCIS to vet 25,000 people than it is to vet well over 100,000 people.
But the other really important thing here, Steve, is that by requiring a minimum salary of $200,000, This is going to give employers an incentive to be very, very sure that the people they're bringing in have the credentials that they say they have.
And that is one of the things that Ambassador Sands talks about the amount of fraud and the schools in India that are selling degrees for $5,000 a pop.
And so all of that would be massively reduced, if not eliminated, under this bill.
steve bannon
Okay, so I want if Mo and Grace and Elizabeth can get the story from the Daily Caller.
I think I gave it to Elizabeth to push it out.
Also, I want people to go to your site now to see the bill and your breakdown of the bill so people understand it.
We need a mass effort here to get every Republican, probably save the 20 traitors in the House to sign up for this.
Where do they go for that?
Where do they go for that, Rosemary?
rosemary jenks
Iapaction.com is our website, and we've got the congressional immigration rankings there.
Iapaction.com.
You can see exactly where all of your members of Congress stand.
But if you search for or click on Eli Crane, you will find all the information about this particular bill.
It's H.R. 8443, the End H 1B Visa Abuse Act.
It's a ground shaking, transformational bill.
And we need all of your representatives to be supporting it so that we can get it moving.
So that's, you know, we need the War Room posse to support us.
We would very much appreciate that.
But also to check with your members of Congress and make sure they're actually supporting this because they should be.
Every single Republican should be supporting this bill.
The Democrats should be too, but I won't hold my breath.
steve bannon
What's the number?
The bill's got a number now.
rosemary jenks
It's HR 8443.
steve bannon
Okay, perfect.
We'll get on this.
Rosemary, everybody go to the site to check this out.
This is a daily progress here at the Warham because nothing would be more important than shattering the quote unquote Scam filled legal immigration system.
We start with the H 1Bs.
Rosemary, great job.
Thank you for hanging out.
unidentified
Thank you.
Appreciate you.
steve bannon
Natalie, first, I know you've got an amazing piece I want to get into, but just your thoughts on this.
Carlos Sands has done a good job, but this total scam of the H 1B visas and what Eli's trying to do, at least to put a tourniquet on the wound, ma'am.
natalie winters
Well, I love Representative.
Crane and what they're trying to do.
But I would probably add a zero.
Maybe let's cancel the H 1B program for 30 years.
And maybe we should add every other alphabet soup form of derivative visa, whether it's the spouse, the kid, the grandpa, or the nanny that they seem to put on with any person that can manage to get in here legally or illegally.
It's absolutely infuriating.
And I think it's also infuriating the doublespeak that we're sort of getting from the White House.
I think we're being told on a lot of issues that we need to settle for less than we voted for.
The signs that we saw on the campaign trail were mass deportations.
There were no asterisks on there, no caveats that we were only going after the worst of the worst of the criminals.
And there was no follow up sentence to that, which was, oh, and we're going to now import these people legally and ensure that all of these corporate donors that suddenly now have, you know, think MAGA is just the greatest movement ever, all the Silicon Valley tech bros just want their continued source of cheap labor.
It's so obvious from the origin of this whole H 1B scam.
It was originally like, I think a 20 word statute where they maybe wanted to import a couple guys from India or whatever.
Now it's like 2,000 words.
It's like dozens of pages.
There's all these weird categories created.
They do that intentionally.
They play this shell game.
So you don't know the total number of people that are being imported, let alone not enforcing the overstays.
And it's a lie.
The majority of these people are paid at the bottom rung.
They're not qualified.
They're not these tier three, tier four, high level operators that we're told they are.
There are people that barely speak English, and the majority of them are Indian, but the second largest country that imports these people is China.
So I'm sorry, I thought we were in an AI and tech race with the Chinese Communist Party.
And we all know whether it's Article 7 of their national intelligence law or just the way that the PRC operates, they don't have citizens, they have soldiers that are waiting to be activated.
And big tech technology is one of the domains in which they do that.
So we're essentially embedding, like a Trojan horse, all of their people who, by the way, get indicted, it seems like every single day for stealing technology and IP.
But yeah, let's actually, you know, it's not even a Trojan horse because we're like openly inviting them in as the enemies that they are.
They don't even need to disguise themselves.
You know, the culture stuff is probably secondary or tertiary.
To all the elites.
They just want the cheap labor.
That's a happy accident.
They like seeing American culture be destroyed.
But this is like a seminal issue of MAGA.
And I don't understand why it's so controversial and why it's up to fighters like Congressman Crane to be the lone wolf in Congress who is fighting for an issue that you just can't square it with what it means to put America first.
steve bannon
You've got a great piece on your sub stack I want to get into about the shooter and about these real groups, the reality of the shooter and really who backs him up and who creates him.
But I've got to ask you the whole concept.
I mean, you've been over there.
You know, this White House correspondent crew.
I'm against the entire concept.
And I have been from the beginning since I came here with Andrew Breitbart back in 2010.
We got the embassy, I think, in 2011.
I just, I can't, the whole concept of going out and getting chummy with the White House correspondents, I find revolting.
Your thoughts on that, ma'am?
natalie winters
Well, let me get this straight, Steve.
You're not okay with that, but you're okay with sending me to the White House.
Press Corps for the last year.
We saw the treatment I got.
unidentified
That's different.
natalie winters
Look, you're absolutely right.
And I have to say, all the cringe videos, whether in real time or after the fact, coming from these journalists, I mean, not only will we get into the ideological push, the kind of backbone that propels people like Cole Thomas Allen to do actions like that, it's a through line.
The road runs directly to these mainstream media outlets.
But it's like stolen valor.
Even if you read the guy's manifesto, he obviously wasn't targeting them.
Sure, there was a sort of you're complicit, silence is violence because you showed up and President Trump was going to be there.
But he made it very clear that those people weren't the target.
If anything, those are that guy's heroes.
His only issue with them is that they probably weren't radical enough and didn't take him out when he was in the briefing room.
It's sort of like Frankenstein.
This is the monster that these people created.
Of course, I don't ever want people to go through traumatic events like that.
But journalists, Are on the battlefield in war torn countries doing actual war reporting.
And I've seen them have more courage than a lot of the journalists in that ballroom.
Again, I'm not mocking these people, but you would think that it would sort of force a moment of self reflection among a group of people who are really directly responsible for the kind of incendiary rhetoric that probably floats and ruminates through Paul Thomas Allen's brain.
And I have seen no remorse.
You even see it in the live stream that continued after the shooting.
They're hanging out in that room, drinking wine, stealing bottles of wine, partying and celebrating, probably glad that they're going to get clicks on a piece on a weekend.
Was that the vibe after the Butler shooting?
No.
People were genuinely worried about President Trump.
They got out of there, right?
It's just, it's a different kind of tone.
It's a very mask off telling moment.
And the real reason why it's not just the typical trope, the critique that we've been pushing here, which is this idea that they have to depict.
President Trump is an autocrat or a dictator to justify these sort of outside the system changes, right?
We see that obviously coming from Rachel Maddow, the MS Now, whatever thing that's called now, from that crowd.
But what it really is about is killing President Trump, right?
And it's really about the fact that the same people that prop up, whether it's No Kings, the Sunrise Movement, all these left wing groups that, whether it's this guy or the next one, are affiliated with, they're cut from the same cloth as these media organizations, whether because these people have the same ideologies, it's the same donors, it's the same apparatus.
It's just sort of a different.
Iteration of it.
These people are dressed up for camera, but they're all part of the same movement.
And that's why you're not seeing any interest, even though the shooter, you know, these people are such crisis actors that they can be in there filming their bizarre videos where they're on the floor crying about what's happening.
These people don't care to get to the bottom of what his actual motives were.
The New York Times didn't even put it on the cover of their paper.
They're like maybe alleging that it had something to do with Trump.
Read the manifesto.
It literally could not be clearer.
So this is like one of those moments where It's just so painfully obvious.
It's frankly why I kind of stopped going to the White House.
I don't really want to be around these people.
I think they're evil.
I think they genuinely hate the president.
I don't understand why he holds press briefings with them.
If I were him, I would not.
I don't think you're safe.
And yeah, we can get into the scoop that I have, but it's maddening.
It's stolen valor.
And I would like, I don't know, maybe like one apology from someone involved with planning this dinner.
They all are acting like they're the victims, too.
Sure, you were technically the victims, but.
You know, there's a lot of questions about the security going on there.
Also, your rhetoric directly contributed to this, and there's no personal responsibility to use a phrase.
unidentified
Amen.
steve bannon
They're not the victims at all.
Talk to me about the Substack piece because you connect a lot of dots here, ma'am.
unidentified
Sure.
natalie winters
So, you've probably heard by now about this group called the Wide Awakes that Cole Thomas Allen was allegedly a part of.
His sister reportedly told law enforcement that she believed he was part of this.
So, that's a pretty, I think, solid link.
But it's received really scant attention from the legacy media.
Actually, almost a misdirection play because there's this other group called the Wide Awakes, which is more, believe me, equally bizarre, but more in like the artsy music, collectivist kind of racial justice avenue of left wing groups.
But they have said that they have no affiliation with Cole Thomas Allen, which I actually do believe.
And here's why because the Wide Awakes are a known tactic and sort of movement claimed by something called the Sunrise Movement.
Which is a high profile, very mainstream, hardwired into the Democrat Party apparatus, progressive activist group.
This is a group who was advising Biden.
There's extensive reporting about how some of their upper echelon type people were in constant communication with Biden administration executives.
They're funded by George Soros, the Tides Foundation, the whole crew.
They are the poster child of left wing activism.
They take a little more of a climate change bent with their focus.
But what is so interesting, and we have a bunch of assets, and it might be a little confusing, but we can put them up on screen.
But what the real smoking gun here is there are several, but I'll start with the first one is that they deleted a webpage that was at least last active.
I was able to pull an archive from December of 2025, showing, quote, summer 2020 wide awake actions, where they have a bunch of pictures of protesters with signs saying wide awake.
It's this tactic that goes back to sort of like pre Civil War times where they just want to cause a ruckus, cause havoc, not let people sleep.
Protests outside their homes.
You can see the pictures.
You can probably get the vibe of people engaging in that.
But what's even more interesting is that this campaign, and this is where it gets very, I would say, really pay attention closely.
You got to follow the dots here.
But where it gets really interesting is they reinvigorated this tactic for the Ice Out for Good campaign, which they just reinvigorated in Minnesota.
Which I'll read you this quote, right now we're targeting hotels.
We've got two tactics wide awakes in person and mass bookings online.
Wide awakes are pretty much what they sound like.
You and your friends show up outside of Hilton and make so much noise that ICE agents can't get a good night's sleep, sending a strong message to the hotel that your community doesn't want them housing.
An occupying army.
Mental Illness and Political Tactic 00:08:44
natalie winters
Now, the correspondence dinner, where did that happen?
At the Washington Hilton.
So, this is a tactic that was being used.
You can see those pictures there.
They have a specific section talking about these Hilton hotels housing ice.
You can see the videos there of when they were most recently used.
There also is, and I think this is an interesting intersection with the Sunrise Movement, which has always sort of used young kids to be the front lines of their activism, just how radical these people are.
There was another blog post talking about the wide awake tactics, where they were, quote, talking about how they were born into crisis, inheriting a failing world.
We tried signing petitions.
We tried calling and visiting government offices.
Through it all, most politicians ignored us.
Now we're taking actions they cannot ignore.
Our generation is done asking nicely.
This is not just an uprising, it's a mother effing haunting.
We will make their lives a walking nightmare.
Our generation will fight for true abolition and complete the unfinished work of the reconstruction.
So, when you link this all together, I would posit that this is what his sister was talking about when they were talking about his involvement.
The Wide Awakes, the Sunrise Movement, also part of the consortium that makes up.
The No Kings protest, which of course Cole Thomas Allen was also reportedly attending and involved with.
I don't know if we have more time, but you can pull up, Steve, you and I could do eight hours of a show talking about every positive quote that Democrat media, Democrat leaders, including but not limited to Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, I have some of them.
We can read them in the next block, praising this No Kings movement, encouraging people to go, calling it peaceful.
And the issue here, Steve, that I take most with the shooting, although there are a lot, Is really the Republican response that our response to this is that there is a coordinated activist insurgency ginned up by the media, which then conveniently puts on their dinner where we see President Trump and almost all high level members of his cabinet get executed on live TV in front of his like existential enemies.
I mean, make that make sense for a second.
And our response is like, this is why we need a ballroom.
No, this is why we need.
Mass criminal investigations and prosecutions and RICO charges and shutting down the funding, the networks, the foreign and domestic financing of these terrorist groups.
This is why Cole Thomas Allen needs to be being interrogated right now about who else he knows, the radical leaders of this group.
This guy should be used to understand these networks.
The FBI, whoever's leading this stuff, needs to not be looking into this weird artsy group, but needs to be understanding the intricacies of the No Kings movement, the most radical fringe elements of what's going on there.
And not let this happen again, right?
We didn't take Minnesota seriously.
So this guy saw what was going on there, whether it was with what they were doing against Hilton hotels, right?
You can't host an occupying army.
That sounds a lot like his logic as to what went down with President Trump in DC.
But you know what?
The Democrats won Minnesota.
They won that engagement.
Their protesting worked because we bent the knee and now we're not even getting deportations.
And the most concerning part of all of this, Steve, you read that guy's manifesto and you look at his resume.
He's not mentally ill in the traditional sense.
He's actually lucid.
He's just radicalized on mainstream far left politics and the idea that you need to kill President Trump.
And if not, you're complicit.
steve bannon
You're, we, we, you are 1,000% correct.
When people say he's crazy, it's not crazy at all.
It went to Caltech.
He's been radicalized by exactly how you said he was radicalized.
And the wide awakes, we covered this in Minnesota every day.
They stand inside the hotels.
We had Burkwam out there.
We covered it of what they were doing.
And once again, The opposition party, the controlled opposition Republicans, took the wrong lesson.
We stopped the mass deportations and they won.
Short commercial break.
Natalie Winters on the other side.
unidentified
Spread the word all through Hong Kong.
War Room.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
Natalie, I'll talk to you afterwards.
I want to maybe even do an hour on this, but just take two or three minutes.
You, better than any other analyst, have broken this.
This is exactly how it came down.
And this guy's not crazy.
He's got to stop saying he's crazy.
He's not crazy.
But there's a system out there that turns these people.
And the people in that audience, the White House Correspondents Association, is a central part of the problem.
It should not be a do over.
And I don't think the president should ever go again.
And certainly the cabinet should not be there acting thirsty.
Natalie Winters, your analysis?
unidentified
Well, exactly.
natalie winters
I mean, I think people are honing in on the rapist, traitor, and pedophile comment, which, of course, Nora O'Donnell took the bait there, asking him why he thought that was him, case in point.
But it's much broader than that.
I mean, it's just like a cultural shift, whether it's the New York Times mainstreaming Hassan Piker or just this idea that, oh, President Trump is so beyond the pale, therefore these.
Outside the system tactics, including but not limited to assassination for what is the third time, God forbid all the attempts that have been thwarted, is not just okay.
It's mandatory, it's necessary.
And this guy was not mentally ill, and I would encourage people not to write him off as that.
He's actually the poster child for left wing ideology, and he's intentionally, I would argue, obscuring in that manifesto no links, no affiliations with no kings or any of these groups.
You're sort of having to piecemeal a lot of this.
Of course, the press has no interest.
Intentionally misreporting that he belongs to this weird arts collective that he has no connectivity to.
It's like rooted in Connecticut.
When in reality, when you look at this, it's cut from the same cloth as exactly who the media is funded by, believe, ideologically in line with, support.
But the core here, Steve, what can we control?
We can control the Republican response.
I'm not out here trying to police Democrat actions.
I can't do that.
I would just suggest that our side has a little bit of a higher bar than when our president has been killed for or attempted to be killed for what is it like the third time.
That the answer to that is not let's build a ballroom.
The answer to that is let's arrest and bust up and charge and imprison before they commit the next shooting the people who are responsible for this.
And let's go all the way to the top, which, by the way, includes the media.
unidentified
Amen.
steve bannon
I want everybody to read this.
Natalie, where do they go?
natalie winters
You can go to nataliegwinters.substack.com to read it or anywhere.
I don't even know how you get Substack.
Don't go to X.
I don't think they like my stuff.
But always an honor to be on with you, Steve.
And I encourage people to read this story.
And just remember the guy's not mentally ill.
He is the poster child of what they want to do to you.
steve bannon
The thesis that Natalie's talking about, something we try to get across here every day.
They're saying, oh, the polling is showing you no mask.
Then change the polling.
Then take actions that change things.
I'm so tired of the continual whining.
President Trump had a theory of the case.
Of why this country had gone off the rails in 2014, 2015.
He won the presidency in 2016.
On that, the comeback was doubling and tripling down on that.
We didn't falter than the years in the wilderness.
And right now, why are we in power?
The John Thunes and the Mike Johnsons of the world, and all these wimps and people on the White House staff giving the president bad information, bad guidance.
It's time to double and triple down.
You want to stay in power, you got to double or triple down.
You want to get turfed out and get impeached and have the White House be Fort Apache for a couple of years, then do what all the consultants and advisors are telling you to do because that is a road to perdition.
Natalie Winters, thank you so much for coming on here and being crystal clear about this.
I appreciate you.
Compare what she just said over all this crap you're hearing nonstop on other outlets.
Jake Seawolf, my Patriot Supply, sir, what do you got for us this morning?
jake seawolf
Good to be back with you, Steve.
Thank you for having me.
Just to left turn it a little bit, like I always do, because my news is just different, right?
Farmers, Water Bottles, and Supply 00:02:42
jake seawolf
But right now, we're looking at seven out of 10 American farmers can't afford fertilizer this spring.
And with that, it's because fertilizer is up 30%, diesel is up 37% year over year.
Now we're looking at a lot of farmers, whether they're selling to AI, data centers, or just more condos, a lot of farmers are selling land just to stay afloat.
And farm bankruptcies are up 46% last year.
I'm telling you now, dude, if farmers can't afford to grow food, I don't think you can afford not to store it.
So, one thing I've got behind me here the family starter pack.
This one in particular for a family, I think of six, six people.
We've got enough food to supply each person in your house for one week.
It comes with each person would get their own little nifty survival straw.
Protects the cap.
And the thing that makes this cooler than everyone else is take almost any water bottle.
You can even open it up, and it will screw right on there.
So you can fill up your water bottle from a stream, river.
And if you don't want to just sit there on your knees in the dirt and mud and whatever, you can now just drink it straight from your water bottle, filtered.
So you'll just turn upside down and have at it.
The other cool thing that this kit comes with is our 65 watt power bank and also the solar panel.
So, this thing has a super bright light on it, built in USB C, USB C, and USB A charging ports up front.
I use this bad boy all the time.
Output 65 watts of energy.
So, even your little high powered laptops you've got, it's beautiful.
unidentified
Bye.
Anyways.
jake seawolf
Super awesome kit.
Everything behind me.
