The silent majority is no longer silent. | |
This is The War Room with Owen Schroer. | ||
Please stand by for further details. | ||
We return you now to your regularly scheduled program. | ||
Ladies and gentlemen, it is Tuesday, April 8th, 2025. | ||
This is the InfoWars War Room. | ||
President Trump is speaking live from the White House right now addressing Tariffs and some of the headlines in response, as well as some other news out of the White House. | ||
We pick it up live. | ||
Families come from areas of the country that we love and we really respect. | ||
And I want to thank Secretary Doug Burgum for doing such an incredible job. | ||
From the day I met him, I knew I wanted to have him in my cabinet. | ||
He took a shot at running. | ||
And he was so good and so solid that he made no news. | ||
And that was good. | ||
But I saw him and I saw his beautiful wife, Catherine, and I said that they're going to be a team. | ||
They are a great team and they're going to be working for this country someday. | ||
And one of the first people I called after I won. | ||
So thank you very much. | ||
And along with the Energy Secretary, Chris Wright, and I was going to make Doug actually the Energy Secretary. | ||
And he said, sir, you have one person who's much better than me at this, Chris Wright. | ||
I said, who the hell is Chris Wright? | ||
I have no idea who he is. | ||
And then I learned that he's the most respected person in the energy business by far, far and away. | ||
For Doug to say that, Doug's got a big ego. | ||
It was very tough for him to say that. | ||
Catherine was there, right, Catherine? | ||
You said, wow, I've never heard that before. | ||
But Chris, you guys are fantastic. | ||
Stand up. | ||
All three of you, please stand up. | ||
That's a great team. | ||
It's no better team than that. | ||
They're going to produce energy the likes of which nobody's seen before. | ||
You know, we need to do the AI, all of this new technology that's coming online. | ||
We need more than double the energy, the electricity that we currently have. | ||
If you take all of the electricity in the country right now for houses, for buildings, for everything, we need to more than double it to be number one. | ||
We're now way ahead of everybody at AI. China's in second place, but way behind. | ||
And they're going to be producing a lot of energy and a lot of electricity for this. | ||
And so are we. | ||
And we're going to get approvals very fast. | ||
And I would say the man that's almost comparable to you in terms of the importance to this, maybe he's even more comparable. | ||
I hate to tell you, a guy named Lee Zeldin, who's... | ||
unidentified
|
Well, that's exactly what we were talking about yesterday. | |
Trump addressing it now. | ||
We have to just become an energy powerhouse. | ||
I gave him a very important endorsement. | ||
He won for Congress in an area that was unwinnable. | ||
They were all saying, why is he wasting his time? | ||
That's Democrat territory. | ||
And I liked Lee and knew Lee. | ||
And he ended up winning the seat in a massive upset. | ||
Nobody knew what happened, actually. | ||
And then he was there for a long time. | ||
How many years were you there? | ||
Eight. Eight years. | ||
It was very popular. | ||
Then he almost won the governorship of New York, which is lost by a few points, which was an amazing run. | ||
And I said, we got to get you in with us in some form, and we did. | ||
And he's head of the Environmental Agency, EPA, and doing a great job. | ||
And I said, if we have a nuclear power plant leak, can you get it approved in less than a month? | ||
He said, I'll do it faster. | ||
And by the way, he'll do a fast job, but he's going to do also a great job. | ||
It's going to be an important job. | ||
We don't even smile about it. | ||
But, you know, I've been involved in the approval process for a long time, having been in real estate. | ||
And you go years and years and years for absolutely nothing. | ||
And even in those days, they used to say, you know, this whole thing could have been approved in a week or two weeks or three weeks, and it would have been... | ||
Just as good, but they'd take you down the path and you'd spend years waiting and then sometimes you'd get rejected. | ||
I wasn't rejected too much. | ||
I was the king of zoning. | ||
This stuff gets me excited. | ||
It really does. | ||
And there's some other stuff we can talk about today with foreign policy that kind of gets you a little down, but this stuff gets me up. | ||
This stuff gets me hype. | ||
Unleashing American energy. | ||
Unleashing American excellence. | ||
Making us rich and prosperous again? | ||
This is the good stuff right here. | ||
Alright, we got a bunch of news to cover today. | ||
I got about 20 video clips. | ||
But Trump is speaking live about energy policy. | ||
This is good stuff right here, folks. | ||
And I'm going to tie it in to this video I have on my list, which has been a major issue for me. | ||
I've been talking about it for years. | ||
People are starting to see it. | ||
Trump has seen it for years. | ||
Now he's implementing the policy to actually have the vision come to reality. | ||
I'll explain all of that, but you just heard it. | ||
What were we talking about yesterday on this show? | ||
We said we need to become energy dominant. | ||
It's going to be a necessity for all the new manufacturing, specifically with AI. | ||
And we'll probably have to go nuclear. | ||
And now here's Trump today at the White House saying the exact same thing. | ||
It's great to have you here with us on the Infowars War Room. | ||
We never waste your time, and we're honored to have you in the audience. | ||
But let's go back now to the White House. | ||
President Trump looks like he's got a bunch of line workers there. | ||
I'm not sure who is standing behind him, and it looks like more of an assembly. | ||
I'm not sure if there's going to be questions from the media or not. | ||
There was a White House press briefing earlier today. | ||
We'll talk about that. | ||
But if they do take questions, we will cover that live as well. | ||
Let's go back to President Trump talking energy policy. | ||
The ones that I see here, because, you know, it's always a problem when I do this, because I leave one or two out, and that's the end. | ||
I never get their vote again. | ||
I never get their vote. | ||
It takes years to recover, but we'll give it a shot, because Senator John Barrasso, who's my friend and a great gentleman, thank you very much, John, for being here. | ||
Thank you, John. | ||
Cynthia Lummis, fantastic woman who believes like I do. | ||
She believes like I do in these people, right? | ||
She believes in them maybe even more than I do. | ||
That's pretty good from day one. | ||
Thank you, Cynthia. | ||
You're doing a fantastic job. | ||
Kevin Kramer, my friend. | ||
Where is Kevin? | ||
Because Kevin, I think he was here because he had a problem. | ||
And I just will pay my respects. | ||
He wanted to be here so badly, but he had a difficult problem that he's working through. | ||
And we all love Kevin. | ||
John Hovind. | ||
John, thank you very much. | ||
unidentified
|
Thank you very much. | |
Steve Daines. | ||
Thank you, Steve. | ||
And Steve is a picker of great candidates, like he picked a guy named Tim Sheehy, who's here. | ||
Where's Tim? | ||
Where is Tim? | ||
Thank you, Tim. | ||
And Tim Sheehy has turned out to be a wonderful senator, and that was your pick. | ||
And we went with it, and you were right. | ||
And we have a great one in Tim. | ||
So thank you, Tim. | ||
And thank you, Steve. | ||
Shelley Moore Capito. | ||
Shelley, thank you very much. | ||
West Virginia. | ||
From West Virginia. | ||
She has to like... | ||
You have no choice. | ||
Even if you didn't like it, you have to like all, right? | ||
But they were doing a number on you. | ||
They were doing a number on you with the coal stuff. | ||
And you have not only coal, but you have among the best coal anywhere in the world. | ||
So thank you very much. | ||
A friend of mine for a long time, I'm the one that got him to change his religion, in a sense. | ||
He changed the party. | ||
He went from a Democrat. | ||
I said, Jim, you're not a Democrat. | ||
But he changed to a Republican. | ||
He's one of the most popular Republicans and one of the most popular political leaders in the country. | ||
Jim Justice. | ||
I call him Big Jim. | ||
Big Jim Johnson. | ||
So I believe Trump has a couple of executive orders he's about to sign. | ||
You can see them on the desk there. | ||
I think one is going to be dealing with coal. | ||
He was in the business, and so am I doing the right thing? | ||
You would know better than anybody in this room. | ||
Am I doing the right thing, Jim? | ||
I think so, right? | ||
Thank you very much, Jim. | ||
Cindy Hyde-Smith. | ||
Cindy, thank you, honey. | ||
unidentified
|
Very good. | |
Good job. | ||
People are going to be happy. | ||
And all friends of mine. | ||
Mike Lee. | ||
Mike, thank you very much. | ||
We have a lot of people from Congress, congressmen and women, representatives. | ||
Morgan Griffith. | ||
Morgan, thank you. | ||
Thank you very much. | ||
Bruce Westerman. | ||
unidentified
|
Bruce, thank you, Bruce. | |
Bob Latta. | ||
Bob Latta. | ||
Thank you, Bob. | ||
Good job. | ||
Troy Balderson. | ||
Troy, haven't seen you in a long time. | ||
Since that early race, I endorsed him before anyone knew who he was, and he ended up winning. | ||
That was another surprise, right? | ||
That was a long time ago. | ||
Yep, you're doing a great job. | ||
Thank you very much, Troy. | ||
Carol Miller. | ||
Carol, thank you. | ||
unidentified
|
Carol, West Virginia. | |
Riley Moore. | ||
Riley. Hi, Riley. | ||
unidentified
|
Thanks. Mike Bost. | |
Mike, thank you very much. | ||
Troy Downing. | ||
Troy, thank you. | ||
Oh, he has something. | ||
What is it, coal? | ||
Is there coal in that bag? | ||
I'll take it. | ||
I like it. | ||
I'll take it right now. | ||
Thank you very much. | ||
Hal Rogers. | ||
unidentified
|
Hal. Hal, thank you. | |
Thank you, Hal. | ||
Andy Barr. | ||
Thank you, Andy. | ||
Good luck with everything. | ||
All right, guys, monitor this for me. | ||
When he's done with the intros and the glad-handing here, we'll pick it back up as I believe he's going to move to that desk and sign an executive order, probably make a few comments. | ||
I'm not sure if there's any media in that room or if he's going to take questions, but we'll cover that if so. | ||
But what Trump is addressing here is energy policy. | ||
He's going to unleash coal, which is really kind of just a short-term fix, I would to just start getting coal back into the picture again. | ||
And then gas prices are starting to come down, but there's more that he can do on that front. | ||
So that'll be a nice kind of one-two punch to bring down energy costs and to unleash American energy. | ||
But then if we start to build nuclear that, and really I think Google – And then there's other server farms that they have that are connected to dams that just power the whole server with hydro. | ||
But some of them have their own nuclear plants. | ||
And so that might be the future for these massive AI microchip facilities is they could have their own nuclear plants and then maybe you could tap into that. | ||
With the power grid as well. | ||
But this is going to be totally necessary. | ||
So on one hand, you want to unleash American energy so that you can pay less at the pump, pay less on your energy bill, pay less on the grocery bill. | ||
It just goes down the line. | ||
But when you talk about the future and how he wants to become President Trump, wants the United States to become the hub for AI dominance, I mean, we're talking mass server facilities that require You know, more energy probably than anything else in tech. | ||
Other than, I suppose, maybe stuff SpaceX is doing. | ||
But that's, you know, rockets. | ||
No, these AI facilities with all those servers require massive amounts of energy. | ||
Massive. So that's what this is all about. | ||
So you see, Trump is really good at this stuff, getting the deals done. | ||
And then having the infrastructure to actually bring the full plan to fruition. | ||
And so that's what he's addressing today is the energy stuff. | ||
And I guess those are coal workers from West Virginia that he has behind him as any minute now he's going to sign the executive order. | ||
Let's go back live to the White House. | ||
To the United States only Paris Climate Accord. | ||
Bye. See you. | ||
Out of that. | ||
Somehow the world survived. | ||
They said the world would burn if we got out of it. | ||
No, we're doing great. | ||
You know, under the Paris Climate Accord, we had a terrible situation. | ||
We were... | ||
We would have paid over a trillion dollars. | ||
Think of it. | ||
Over a trillion dollars. | ||
And Russia was paying almost nothing. | ||
Russia had a 1992 standard. | ||
China was paying nothing. | ||
China didn't kick in until 2035. | ||
This was five years ago. | ||
So they didn't kick in for many years. | ||
India had no standard whatsoever. | ||
But we had the highest standard you could imagine. | ||
We had to start paying from day one, and we had to pay lots of money. | ||
We paid for everything. | ||
So I was not a big fan of the Paris Accord, and I let it be known, and I got out of it early. | ||
Then they went back into it, and now we get back out of it. | ||
And hopefully we can be there for a long time, okay? | ||
A long time, because it was a scam to take money away from the United States and hurt and actually hurt us very badly with coal and with other things. | ||
Now under the executive order that I will sign in a few moments, we're slashing unnecessary regulations that targeted the beautiful clean coal. | ||
We will rapidly expedite leases for coal mining on federal lands. | ||
And these two gentlemen are going to do a real job of it. | ||
You've already started. | ||
We will end the government bias against coal, and we're going to unlock the sweeping authorities of Defense Production Act, the Defense Production Act, to turbocharge coal mining in America. | ||
They made it impossible to... | ||
Impossible. You actually... | ||
I know a friend of mine has a plant. | ||
He said, you know, it's a shame. | ||
I'm ripping it down, and I'm replacing it with... | ||
Another form of energy, I won't tell you because it's also very good, but it's not as powerful as this. | ||
He said, you know, the plant I'm building, the new plant, is literally half as good. | ||
It's no less, you know, it's not probably even as good environmentally, but he said it would produce half the power for more money, much more money. | ||
It'll never compete with that beautiful plant I have down the road, which was really a modernized coal plant. | ||
Well, he'll be happy to know that he can open that plant up very quickly. | ||
And it's going to produce a lot. | ||
But he was complaining. | ||
He said, this is so much better. | ||
He wasn't doing that as politic in me. | ||
He was doing that because that's what he felt. | ||
He knew every form of energy. | ||
We talked about that. | ||
He knew every form of energy. | ||
But our government is going to do something that's very different. | ||
And I don't think even you two know about this. | ||
This was my idea from about 15 minutes before I got up here. | ||
We're going to guarantee that we have a strong business for many years to come, that your coal companies and your miners don't get all excited about their jobs, and then should a radical left liberal become president, they end the business right away and somebody's built a plant and spent hundreds of... | ||
Millions of dollars in building a plant, and the plant is going to be closed because a Democrat got in or a liberal got in. | ||
They're opposed to coal, and Republicans are very much for it. | ||
Clean coal. | ||
And we're going to give a guarantee that the business will not be terminated by the ups and downs of the world of politics. | ||
So should somebody come in to this very important office and say, oh, well, you spent hundreds of millions of dollars and you guys have given up your life because you want to be in coal and then all of a sudden you don't have a life anymore because it's what you know the best, that's not going to happen. | ||
We're going to give a guarantee that it's not going to happen so that if somebody comes in, they cannot change it at a whim. | ||
They're going to have to go through hell to close you up. | ||
All right, so that's pretty good. | ||
We're going to give that in the form of a guarantee that we're writing on right now structurally and from a legal standpoint. | ||
So your investments are going to also be protected. | ||
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
And you're going to have no reason to be concerned about your future, your life, or your investment if you're a minor, as this great governor was a minor, actually. | ||
He was a... | ||
He was one of the larger coal miners. | ||
He could fit up here very easily, you know? | ||
Big Jim. | ||
But he was a great success, but they were very, very tough on him. | ||
And he did a beautiful job with a beautiful product. | ||
Already under our leadership, the Department of Interior has approved the expansion of the Spring Creek Mine in Montana, supporting 280 coal mining jobs and unlocking over 40 million tons of coal. | ||
And there's more to come. | ||
Spring Creek. | ||
Big one. | ||
And there's more to come in the states of Wyoming, Alabama, Utah, North Dakota and many others. | ||
West Virginia. | ||
I can't believe they didn't put West Virginia down. | ||
It's lucky I mentioned that, right? | ||
Can you imagine if I didn't mention West Virginia? | ||
I would have been in big trouble. | ||
They didn't mark it down here. | ||
Good to have a president like that that can pick that up, right? | ||
You think Joe Biden would have picked that up? | ||
I don't think so. | ||
unidentified
|
There we go. | |
We needed a good Biden joke. | ||
I don't think so. | ||
I don't think he'd be standing up here either. | ||
The value of untapped coal in our country is 100 times greater than the value of all the gold at Fort Knox. | ||
And we're going to unleash it and make America rich and powerful again. | ||
Under this order, I'm also directing Secretary Wright to use billions of dollars in federal funding to invest in the next generation of coal technology, which is an amazing technology in terms of getting the full potential of coal and also doing it a very clean, environmental way. | ||
Pound for pound, coal is the single most reliable, durable, secure, and powerful form of energy there is on Earth today. | ||
It's a big statement. | ||
You never hear those statements, you know. | ||
You've never heard that before from a politician, have you? | ||
Well, maybe from that politician, but not from not too many. | ||
But that's the way it is. | ||
I say it again. | ||
Pound for pound, coal is the single most reliable, durable, secure, and powerful form of energy. | ||
It's cheap, incredibly efficient, high density, and it's almost indestructible. | ||
You could drop a bomb on it and it's going to be there for you to use the next day, which you can't say with any other form of energy. | ||
Virtually indestructible. | ||
Most importantly, we have more of it here in America than anywhere else on Earth. | ||
We have more coal than any other country. | ||
You go to Australia, they have fantastic amounts of coal. | ||
You know who they sell it to? | ||
China. They sell it to China. | ||
They're nearby. | ||
They sell a lot of it to China. | ||
But we have more than anywhere else on Earth. | ||
We also have more liquid gold than anywhere on Earth. | ||
So we're really an energy behemoth. | ||
But we're unleashing that also. | ||
That's going to be another part. | ||
But I didn't even want to mention that. | ||
It's not down here because I didn't want to mention today is about clean, beautiful coal. | ||
so I'm going to give this to you should I give it to him? | ||
take that thank you Mr. | ||
President thank you For example, we believe it's possible to extract enormous amounts of critical minerals and rare earths, which you know we need for technology and high technology in the process of coal mining, making in America the mineral superpower of the world, | ||
actually. In addition, I'm instructing the Department of Justice to identify and fight every single unconstitutional state or local regulation that's putting our coal miners out of business. | ||
And we are withdrawing all of those objections from our government today. | ||
It's all being withdrawn. | ||
So all of you people that have been fighting for your lives, we are withdrawing all of that today. | ||
We have excellent lawyers. | ||
Excellent. Have you noticed that lots of law firms have been signing up with Trump? | ||
$100 million. | ||
Another $100 million for... | ||
Damages that they've done. | ||
But they give you $100 million and then they announce that, but we have done nothing wrong. | ||
And I agree, they've done nothing wrong. | ||
But what the hell? | ||
They give me a lot of money considering they've done nothing wrong. | ||
And we'll use some of those people, some of those great firms. | ||
They are great firms, too. | ||
They just had a bad moment. | ||
But we're going to use some of those firms to work with you on your leasing and your other things. | ||
And they'll do a great job. | ||
I think they're going to do a fantastic job. | ||
And for those of you that want to know the tariffs, you've been hearing about tariffs, we're taking in almost $2 billion a day in tariffs. | ||
Did I hear that right? | ||
Did he just say he's taking the money from the lawsuits he won, the defamation lawsuits he won, and he's forwarding it to the legal work to protect the coal miners? | ||
Is that what he just said? | ||
It sounds like what he just said. | ||
Right now, Japan is flying here to make a deal. | ||
Korea is flying here to make a deal, and others are flying here. | ||
I mean, my only problem is I'm not sure I have enough. | ||
We're going to have to use those great law firms, I think, to help us with that. | ||
But we're going to probably do that, actually. | ||
We're going to use them, and we're getting them for the right price because we need a lot of talent. | ||
We have a lot of countries coming in that want to make deals. | ||
If I told them about making those deals two years ago or three years ago or five years ago... | ||
They'd be laughing at us now. | ||
They're all signing up. | ||
Mike, you know that. | ||
So it's going to be a great thing. | ||
But we're taking, think of that, $2 billion a day. | ||
That's a lot of money. | ||
That's a lot of money even in the coal business. | ||
It's a lot of money. | ||
And America's going to be very rich again very soon. | ||
You're going to see that happening. | ||
You see it all, all along. | ||
And it's, so that whole situation that, you know, it was somewhat explosive. | ||
But if we didn't do that, We wouldn't be talking the way we're talking right now. | ||
It's been amazing what's happened. | ||
Sometimes you have to mix it up a little bit, but we've had great consideration. | ||
We've had talks with many, many countries, over 70. They all want to come in. | ||
Our problem is we can't see that many that fast. | ||
But we don't have to because, as you know, the tariffs are on and the money is pouring in at a level that we've never seen before. | ||
And it's going to be great for us. | ||
It's going to be great for other countries. | ||
We've been ripped off and abused by countries for many years with the tariff situation. | ||
They've used tariffs against us. | ||
We didn't use tariffs against them in any way. | ||
I mean, we just didn't use them of any monumental proportion. | ||
And so we are doing it now. | ||
We have tariffs on cars. | ||
We have tariffs on lumber, tariffs on... | ||
Steel and aluminum. | ||
Steel plants are going up because of it all over the country. | ||
We have 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum. | ||
I think the steel workers like me even more than the coal miners like me. | ||
I'm pretty sure that that's true. | ||
Instead of having no steel business, I put them on originally. | ||
In my first term, we wouldn't have had one steel mill in the United States if I didn't do that. | ||
And now we upped it. | ||
Not only are we taking in a lot of money, but we're protecting our workers, our steel workers. | ||
We're protecting our steel industry. | ||
And one thing you know, that steel and things like steel you need because you need it from a defense standpoint. | ||
You need steel for your tanks and your planes and your everything. | ||
And certain industries you can get away with not having, but others you need and steel is one you need. | ||
So I want to let you know that's in full force and effect. | ||
And literally, as we speak, I spoke to executives in the steel industry over the last few days, and they're all coming in to build plants in the United States of America because if you build them in the United States, you have no tariffs to pay. | ||
There are no tariffs to pay, zero. | ||
If you build them outside using outside labor and hurting our businesses and you send your product in, you have to pay a price for that. | ||
And they will be having they will be having tariffs, as you know. | ||
It's an amazing thing. | ||
This has been something used against us for many years by other countries, China in particular, but others, not just China, others. | ||
And taken advantage of us, ripped us off and left us for dead, frankly. | ||
And I believe if I didn't become your president, I believe that this country would have had problems. | ||
Not only the border where people came rushing into our country from prisons and jails and mental institutions, murderers, drug dealers, and some vicious, vicious criminals. | ||
11,088 murderers came into our country. | ||
We have to get them out. | ||
We're getting them out. | ||
11,088 of that number, half committed murder on more than two people. | ||
More than two people. | ||
And this is what they allowed into our country with their open border policy of lunacy. | ||
And we're taking care of that just like we're taking care of you today. | ||
We're taking care of that. | ||
We are moments away from Trump signing an executive order unleashing coal. | ||
You're starting to get a clear vision. | ||
...of Trump's plan here. | ||
I'm going to lay it all out, the phases that we've seen, the phases yet to come, what it all means. | ||
This is great news, folks. | ||
We should be celebrating this. | ||
This is huge. | ||
This is about as good as it gets. | ||
When you talk about energy, when you talk about the economy, this is golden era stuff happening right now. | ||
Very important energy announcements today from President Trump. | ||
I want to go back to the White House for him to finish up his statements and then sign the executive orders. | ||
And then we will break it all down and get into the other breaking news. | ||
So let's go back live to the White House right now. | ||
Millions and millions of gallons coming down. | ||
They put it into the Pacific Ocean, which for the Pacific Ocean is like a drop of water. | ||
But for California, it would have been unbelievable. | ||
We did, and I'm very proud of the fact that we did. | ||
We did that against a lot of heat and a lot of environmental nonsense. | ||
From now on, we'll ensure that our nation's critically needed coal plants, as an example, remain online and fully operational. | ||
They're always going to be operational. | ||
And again, we're going to have guarantees that government cannot close them down, close you down, and destroy your lives. | ||
To that end, I'm also instructing Secretary Wright to save the... | ||
a coal plant in Arizona, a big plant, which has been slated for destruction. | ||
We're going to keep those coal miners on the job. | ||
Going to tell them to just remain. | ||
come because we're going to have that plant opening and burning the clean coal, beautiful clean coal in a very short period of time. | ||
unidentified
|
You know all about that, right? | |
That's a big one. | ||
As part of our historic deregulatory efforts this afternoon, I'm also granting immediate relief to 47 companies operating 66 coal plants, very big ones all over the country, recusing and making them available for coal production almost in the immediate future. | ||
But we're going to be crushing Biden-era environmental restrictions. | ||
These are restrictions that made it impossible, impossible to do anything having to do, frankly, with energy even beyond coal. | ||
It's really beyond even coal. | ||
We have clean air, we have clean water, and now we have clean coal. | ||
And at the same time, we're going to do other things and other forms of technology and also energy. | ||
Like our country has never really seen before and never been known to do before because of all sorts of restrictions having to do with the Green News scam, which, by the way, was devised by somebody that never even studied. | ||
You know that? | ||
They never even studied anything to do with the environment. | ||
It's a young congresswoman. | ||
She came up with the idea. | ||
And based on that, I guess we only have... | ||
Well, actually, we should have all been gone because they gave us... | ||
Only a few years left on Earth, right? | ||
Right, Greg? | ||
We were going to be gone. | ||
We were all going to be gone. | ||
The environment. | ||
What they have to worry about is the nuclear heat. | ||
They don't have to worry about environmental heat. | ||
They have to worry about nuclear heat. | ||
And if we're smart, we're working on that right now with others having to do with Iran and some other countries. | ||
But that's the heat you're going to have to worry about. | ||
You don't have to worry about the air is getting warmer. | ||
The ocean will rise one quarter of an inch within the next 500 to 600 years, giving you a little bit more waterfront property. | ||
They say this is good. | ||
These guys can handle that. | ||
We're going to make sure that that's safe. | ||
With us today are some of the amazing workers who will benefit from these policies, the policies that we're... | ||
So Trump just kind of gave a head nod to some of the other storylines from today about Iran and defense spending. | ||
And so he kind of briefly gave a head nod to that with that nuclear statement. | ||
He's talking about nuclear weapons. | ||
And... Of course, he's right. | ||
A nuclear war would do much more damage to the planet than any climate change nonsense would. | ||
Of course, there have been, just between China, Russia, the United States alone, I think they've tested over a thousand nuclear bombs. | ||
That's their own official numbers. | ||
Whatever the truth is, you can believe what you want, but that's what they say. | ||
So what does that do to the environment? | ||
They always leave that out conveniently. | ||
No, it's the Green News scam. | ||
He was obviously talking about AOC there. | ||
But he kind of gives a head nod to the Iran stories today. | ||
And look, it makes sense. | ||
Put aside the whole issue with Israel's influence on our foreign policy. | ||
I do think Trump, and he's been consistent with this, wants to see some form of a nuclear weapon armistice where... | ||
I don't know if you shut it down or you have some sort of a worldwide pact to never use them. | ||
These are things he's talked about before and I think that that's kind of the goal with Iran. | ||
Now, the intelligence he's getting is obviously from Israel and they're just saying Iran has nukes. | ||
They're going to blow up the planet and they've been saying it for years because they want a preemptive strike. | ||
I think Trump just wants to end He doesn't want to use them. | ||
But, you know, this executive order he's about to sign and what's happening at the White House, you know, this is not going to make the headlines. | ||
It's not going to be considered sexy. | ||
It's not going to be the lead on any of the primetime news. | ||
But this is, I mean, this is huge. | ||
Truly, this is about as sexy as it gets. | ||
Like, who's the hottest? | ||
Hollywood starlet right now. | ||
Like Sidney Sweeney maybe? | ||
This is like Sidney Sweeney of President Trump's policies right here. | ||
And I want to go back to the White House before I lay it all out and the different phases and where he's at. | ||
But I'm telling you, this is like, this is good. | ||
Unleashing American energy, this is going to lower costs, this is going to make it even more affordable to manufacture things here. | ||
When you think about the future and the AI, And then becoming a hub for that. | ||
You're going to have to go nuclear with energy. | ||
So you can start to see the economic plan starting to kind of unfold and take shape. | ||
And like I said, this isn't going to get much headlines. | ||
It's not going to get much attention. | ||
I mean, this should be the top story. | ||
See, I bet if you pull up all the mainstream news sites or drudge, it'll still be something about the tariffs, something about the market crashing or some other garbage. | ||
Trump has just completely changed energy policy. | ||
Yeah, there it is right there. | ||
Oh, it's the market crash! | ||
Trump has just completely changed energy policy. | ||
He's about to unleash American energy. | ||
He's about to lower prices, lower costs, lower energy bill, grocery bill, everything. | ||
And this is just the beginning of that phase. | ||
And they just won't even talk about it. | ||
Because they don't get it. | ||
And they believe their own garbage. | ||
So if they do cover it, they're going to say, Trump's unleashing global warming. | ||
He's the climate change president. | ||
Bullcrap. As he accurately stated, if we listened to you, we'd all be dead by now. | ||
You said we'd all be dead by 2024. | ||
So we survived. | ||
We're doing just fine. | ||
All right, let's go back. | ||
It looks like Trump's about to sign the executive order here. | ||

A little memento. | ||
Thank you very much, Jeff. | ||
And also with us is Tony Campbell of the East Kentucky Power Cooperative. | ||
And Tony's quite a gentleman and very respected in the industry. | ||
Come on up, Tony. | ||
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
Mr. President, on behalf of East Kentucky Power Cooperative, the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association, Thank you for your leadership to restore American energy dominance. | ||
Electric co-ops keep the lights on for 42 million Americans across 56% of the land mass. | ||
We are owned by the communities and businesses we serve and provide electricity to growing communities, new data centers, and manufacturing plants. | ||
Mr. President, electric co-ops are powering America, and we are proud to partner with you and your administration to power America into the future. | ||
Our electric cooperatives in Kentucky understand the importance of reliable, affordable, and American-made energy, especially coal and natural gas. | ||
Coal fuels most of the electricity generated by our cooperative. | ||
America must keep coal plants open and running to ensure reliable electricity when we need it most. | ||
To meet growing demand over the next decade and ensure fuel security, America will need more, always available, electric generation power, such as coal. | ||
And we want to recognize the hardworking American men, women, that support our mission. | ||
To all America's line workers, our coal miners, thank you for your dedicated service to our country. | ||
Affordable and reliable electricity is a cornerstone of our economy, especially American manufacturing. | ||
However, too many government leaders have pushed policies that have made our electric grid significantly less reliable and our energy too expensive. | ||
That begins to change now. | ||
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
Your actions Mr. President, Thank you in particular for providing immediate, much needed relief from the Biden EPA regulations that would force the shutdown of critical coal units. | ||
Finally, I want to say congratulations on the all-star energy team you've assembled. | ||
Electric co-ops have already been working with Secretaries Burgum, Wright and Rollins, and Administrator Zeldin, and we are excited for all we can accomplish together. | ||
Mr. President, thank you again for your actions today and for your support for the electric cooperatives as we worked to keep the lights on in America. | ||
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
Thank you, Tony. | ||
Thank you very much, Tony. | ||
Appreciate it. | ||
Every day under the Trump administration, we will continue to lower costs for American families, create jobs for American workers, and very importantly, unlock unlimited amounts of affordable American energy, including, as I said, and I'll say for the last time, beautiful, clean coal. | ||
Our country is blessed. | ||
Our country is blessed with the most abundant natural resources on Earth. | ||
Nobody has what we have, and we're going to use it, too. | ||
We're going to use it in a very responsible way. | ||
Together, we're going to tap that magnificent potential to give our people the glorious future that they deserve, better than they've ever had in the past. | ||
I mean, they had a good future. | ||
If you look 20 years ago, they thought they had a good future. | ||
It was ripped away from them, torn away from them with nonsense. | ||
I think we're going to look back with great pride. | ||
At what we've done today. | ||
Not just in putting people to work, but at really reawakening our country. | ||
And thank you very much, and thank you all for being here. | ||
unidentified
|
Thank you very much. | |
Now, let's see how they respond to this. | ||
They're going to say Trump will destroy the planet with man-made climate change, and they'll bring back global warming and all their other nonsense. | ||
Isn't it amazing? | ||
They always Take the wrong stance. | ||
Do they still have audio piped in here, guys? | ||
Let me get audio here. | ||
The first of these executive orders is maybe one of the most significant executive orders of your administration thus far. | ||
This directs all departments and agencies of the federal government to end all discriminatory policies against the coal industry. | ||
This ends the leasing moratorium that prevents new coal projects on federal land, and it's going to accelerate all permitting and funding for new coal projects to allow the coal industry That's great. | ||
Thank you. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, Will Strath is right. | |
This could be the most consequential executive order he's signed. | ||
Because it's energy, baby. | ||
It's the foundation of everything. | ||
Okay. Thank | ||
unidentified
|
Thank you very much. | |
that Sharpie haunts Democrats. | ||
Sir, you've made grid reliability and security a key focus of this administration. | ||
This executive order is going to promote grid security and reliability by ensuring in part that our grid policies are focused on secure and effective energy production and energy transmission as opposed to woke policies that Yeah. | ||
The left wants to shut down the power grid. | ||
unidentified
|
Trump is cranking it up. | |
You're going to see your energy bill, you're going to see your energy costs go down, folks. | ||
You're going to see your grocery bill go down. | ||
This will impact everybody positively. | ||
unidentified
|
This is fantastic. | |
Lastly, sir, one of the biggest problems we have in this space is Democrat states, radical leftist states, enacting policies and enacting an agenda that discriminates against coal, against secure sources of energy. | ||
Many of these policies are unconstitutional and illegal, and with this executive order you're going to be instructing your Department of Justice to vigorously pursue and investigate these state policies. | ||
that we believe are illegal or unconstitutional. | ||
unidentified
|
Good. Thank you. | |
Thank you very much. | ||
Great job. | ||

Let's hand these out for the guy. | ||
Mr. President, I want to tell Republicans who are worried about terrorism. | ||
If you respond to any questions, please. | ||
They're getting shouted at in here. | ||
unidentified
|
White House band starts to play him off. | |
Yeah, Will Scarf there. | ||
The White House staff secretary, Will Owen Scarf, I'll have you know. | ||
Also from St. Louis. | ||
Doing a great job. | ||
I love how he hits him with the radical leftist. | ||
Trump got a kick out of that. | ||
Okay, let's catch our breath here. | ||
This is so big. | ||
Now, I'm guessing the spin, they'll either ignore this today, they'll either ignore how important these executive orders were today, or... | ||
They'll come out this evening and they'll say, Trump is going to cause global warming. | ||
Trump is ignoring the threats of climate change. | ||
The same song and dance. | ||
What was it last week? | ||
Last week it was the tariffs. | ||
Well, what happened? | ||
The stock market ended up just being a wave. | ||
Just a bunch of pump and dumps. | ||
A wave. | ||
It was up. | ||
It was down. | ||
It's up again today. | ||
It's down. | ||
So it's just volatile. | ||
It's just people in the stock market pumping and dumping and some people removing their money. | ||
But overall, it's nothing serious. | ||
Nothing like they said. | ||
And most of the red that you saw was from the media panic. | ||
So that's what the fake news media does. | ||
That's what the Democrats, that's what the liberal progressive radical left does. | ||
Oh, Trump's tariffs are going to crush the stock market. | ||
It's all going to crash. | ||
I mean, they were going on TV saying, it's going to crash. | ||
It's done. | ||
It's over. | ||
They said 25% minimum crash. | ||
It was like 5%. | ||
At its worst. | ||
And then most people that knew what was going on actually took advantage of the situation. | ||
And they're going to be taking advantage of this, by the way, as well. | ||
And what did I say last week? | ||
I said I'd buy the dip. | ||
If you bought the dip, looking pretty good. | ||
So now what are you looking at? | ||
Now you're looking at American energy. | ||
Now you're looking at coal. | ||
Now that's going to have a massive boom. | ||
So they were wrong about the tariffs. | ||
They were wrong about the stock market. | ||
Now they're going to be wrong about this executive order. | ||
And it'll probably be a month or so before it all really kicks in. | ||
But your energy costs will go down. | ||
And he already said today that the next step is to unleash American oil, bring gas prices down, and then they're also looking into nuclear energy, which is going to be necessary for kind of the distant phases here. | ||
Once we start doing all the manufacturing, production, the AI servers. | ||
I mean, it's just so funny how off they all are. | ||
And I wonder... | ||
I wonder, maybe we'll go through, I'll have the crew just kind of go through all the different mainstream news sites and just see who's actually covering the importance of that White House executive order session right there. | ||
Now, I've got the news and we'll tie it all together and I'm going to come back in the next hour in the long segment and kind of lay out the phases and where Trump is at phase-wise when it comes to American energy, American economy. | ||
And how it all ties into things he's been saying for 30 years, by the way. | ||
And then this realization that other Americans are having. | ||
You know, people make fun of Americans because they don't leave the country much. | ||
Well, that's because our country is huge. | ||
We have 50 different states and other territories. | ||
So it's a very diverse country. | ||
You can get a lot of different feels and cultures. | ||
You don't even have to leave the states. | ||
But people are leaving the states and saying, well, gee. | ||
Look at how cheap it is to live in all these other states. | ||
Well, a lot of that has to do, or all these other countries, a lot of that has to do with the power of the U.S. dollar, but it's also the cost of living has been synthetically high here because of the regulations, because of the taxes, because of the bad trade deals. | ||
And it's all, all the levers are being switched right now. | ||
This is about as good as it gets. | ||
You're not going to have, this is Trump's master class. | ||
Trump is the ace at this. | ||
And everybody doubting it is going to be proven wrong. | ||
Everybody doubting this policy when it comes to energy, when it comes to trade, will all be proven wrong. | ||
They already have been, really. | ||
Suppose you could say the tariff situation is still kind of fresh. | ||
The market is still volatile, but the picture is starting to become clearer. | ||
The pump and dump sessions are actually stabilizing the markets. | ||
And Trump has shown, he said he's not going to back down, and now other countries are saying, okay, we've got to come to the table, we've got to negotiate. | ||
And of course it's going to be Israel first, of course it's going to be Japan first, the countries we have good relations with. | ||
But eventually China's going to have to come to the table. | ||
And there's going to be a little bit of a standoff, and we already have it happening now with Hollywood. | ||
But it's happened with the NBA, too. | ||
And China says, well, if you want access into our market, then we're going to have a little bit of a say as far as your marketing and product is concerned. | ||
Well, now America's going to have to say too bad. | ||
All right, we're about to go back in time 30 years ago, and you're going to hear what Trump had to say about trade and tariffs, how his message hasn't changed. | ||
And then I'm going to lay into the different phases of this policy with trade and energy, where we're at now, where it's going. | ||
It's really starting to take its shape. | ||
It's really starting to take its shape. | ||
And it looks damn good. | ||
I mean, hmm. | ||
Looking real good. | ||
So, that's what we have coming up. | ||

Alright, this is Donald Trump 1995. | ||
Talking about what he would have done then if he was president. | ||
I couldn't believe this last auto deal as an example. | ||
Here we are. | ||
We're sitting there. | ||
It's restricted in Japan. | ||
Everything's restricted, restricted, restricted. | ||
We're sitting. | ||
They can't come in. | ||
And all of a sudden, this country falls. | ||
We do the old fold-out. | ||
I've never seen it. | ||
unidentified
|
That is the way the press reported it. | |
The press reported it that we had a deal. | ||
And then all of a sudden it turned out that the deal turned out that it was not a good deal for us. | ||
And we had all the cards. | ||
I mean, it's not like we didn't have the cards. | ||
It's like, keep your cars out of here until you open up. | ||
That's all. | ||
Keep your cars out. | ||
And then the first hour was like, oh, we made this wonderful deal. | ||
After about 15 seconds after that, people realized we got duped. | ||
I just don't understand it. | ||
unidentified
|
What's wrong with us? | |
I mean, I guess they said, well, this would hurt American car dealers. | ||
You know, what's wrong with us? | ||
I don't know. | ||
They're afraid politically to make... | ||
A little bit of a tough stand. | ||
That wasn't even a tough one. | ||
That was a no-brainer. | ||
You would have had the Japanese cars out for 19 and a half seconds, and you would have won every single point. | ||
It's the most incredible failure in negotiation that I've seen. | ||
But it happens all the time. | ||
I just don't understand it. | ||
So I would take a much harder stand. | ||
I'd take a much more difficult stand, I would say. | ||
Make a couple of enemies. | ||
I think I'd make a lot of friends, ultimately. | ||
unidentified
|
If the United States government took a firmer stand with foreign countries, would we be better off or are we so much now a part of the nation of, the community of nations that we can't really afford to offend anybody? | |
I think we'd be better off and I think we'd be far more respected. | ||
I think the Japanese would respect us far more than they do. | ||
I don't think they have any respect for us and they shouldn't have any respect for us because we are idiots when it comes to what's happening. | ||
I mean, look at dealing with Japan. | ||
I mean, just take a look at what's going on. | ||
They make hundreds of billions of dollars a year, and we lose money and deficits, and nothing happens. | ||
And they say, no, the Japanese are learning, and they're starting to open up. | ||
In the meantime, every second goes by, we're losing. | ||
I just think that people would have far greater respect for this country if we took a much tougher stand. | ||
It's really quite pathetic. | ||
Well, he was right then, and he's right now, and this is all happening right now. | ||
So when we come back from this short break, I'm going to lay out exactly what this is, the phases of Trump's economic plan, energy plan, and where we're at. | ||
Before I get into the news and the video clips here, let's explain Trump's economic and energy plan, which is really now starting to take shape. | ||
Last week with the tariffs and now this week with the executive orders on energy, which is just the beginning of that. | ||
It's like phase one of that phase, the energy phase. | ||
But let's just lay this out. | ||
As soon as Trump was elected, he didn't even wait until he got inaugurated. | ||
As soon as he was elected, he started making deals. | ||
And he started contacting foreign countries, probably more accurate to say foreign companies. | ||
And he said, alright, here's the deal. | ||
I want you to make a big investment in America. | ||
You'll get direct access to our consumer market. | ||
And we'll make sure that your business is humming and producing for decades to come. | ||
We're going to have new regulation policy. | ||
We're going to have new tax policy. | ||
And we will make it beneficial for you to make the investment. | ||
He cuts the deals. | ||
He gets multi-trillion dollar commitments. | ||
So he's got all that inked. | ||
Then he comes out with the tariff policy, knowing he's already got the business deals inked, and he's already got all these things coming in, the investments coming in, the manufacturing coming in. | ||
So he doesn't have to worry about a trade war. | ||
He's already got enough leverage with the American consumer market and the trillions that he's brought in. | ||
So now he has the ability to leverage the tariffs. | ||
And say, okay, it really isn't high risk. | ||
It's really low risk. | ||
They pretend it's high risk, but now he's got it in a low risk situation with high reward. | ||
So now all these other countries are going to have to make a decision. | ||
They're either going to have to negotiate with Trump on tariffs, they're either going to have to lower their tariffs, or we're going to have to try to reach a free trade, an actual free trade. | ||
Global market. | ||
Now, why is all of this significant? | ||
As Trump has been talking about really since the 80s, I think the oldest interview we've seen him talking about this, at least that I've seen, I believe it was 88 on Oprah, when he talks about the tariffs and the bad trade deals and how we're getting ripped off. | ||
So, he's known about this. | ||
He's seen it as a big problem. | ||
It never made any sense to him. | ||
Do we have incompetent politicians? | ||
Do we have corrupt politicians? | ||
Whatever the case, the deals are bad. | ||
And of course, nobody ever complained. | ||
It wasn't mainstream politics. | ||
It wasn't mainstream media complaining about how we're getting ripped up one side and down the other on trade. | ||
So now Trump has put us in the position to actually have good trade deals or just bring everything back. | ||
Bring the manufacturing back. | ||
Production back. | ||
Made in America. | ||
Higher Americans. | ||
So that's what's happened on the tariff deal. | ||
Now there's still going to be some wheeling and dealing and some back and forth and some bumps in the road on that. | ||
But Trump's already got it all wrapped up. | ||
Aside from the negotiations to come, the investments are already here. | ||
You can either pay the tariffs, which will help us. | ||
You can renegotiate, which will help us. | ||
Or we can have free trade, which will help everybody. | ||
So that's where that's at. | ||
Now he comes out today and he signs the executive orders. | ||
This is just dealing with coal, by the way. | ||
So he's not even getting into, as he teased during the press conference today, or the executive order ceremony, he hasn't even gotten into gas and oil yet. | ||
He hasn't even gotten into nuclear yet, but he with a wink and a nod said, we're doing that next. | ||
But even just with coal, easily accessible, high potency, great move. | ||
So now you're going to release coal again, which was stomped out by the Biden administration, been stomped out by the Democrats really since Obama more than anybody. | ||
So now energy costs are going to start going down. | ||
When energy costs go down, everything goes down. | ||
And so this is just kind of the beginning of that. | ||
So this is going to save the American consumer money. | ||
This is going to save the American company money. | ||
Once he unleashes the oil and gas, prices are going to come down even more, noticeably. | ||
Then once the AI hubs and everything else start going up and into live working, then they're going to have to start dealing with nuclear. | ||
But that's probably farther down the road. | ||
So what does it all mean? | ||
What does it all mean? | ||
It means that the trade deals that have been ripping off the United States of America for decades are over. | ||
We're either going to have fair trade or we're not going to trade. | ||
We're either going to have free or fair trade or we're not trading anymore. | ||
Or you can pay, and see, notice this, or you can pay the exorbitant tariffs that we've been paying, but nobody wants to do that. | ||
Isn't that funny? | ||
Everybody expects America to pay the exorbitant tariff prices, but no one else would even consider doing that for us. | ||
No one would. | ||
So you've had policy out of Washington, D.C. that has forced American companies into China, into Mexico, into all over the world. | ||
Because of regulatory policy, tax policy, tariff policy, everything else. | ||
That was policy that did that. | ||
Well, now policy is reversing that and bringing that back. | ||
That's Trump's policy. | ||
So now you're bringing back the jobs, you're bringing back the manufacturing, and now you're cutting energy costs. | ||
Soon, phase three of this is when you start cutting the regulations and the taxes. | ||
So it's like phase one, cut the deals, get the tariffs. | ||
Phase two, unleash the energy. | ||
Phase three, cut the taxes, cut the regulations. | ||
And then it's just like, rock it up for the economy, for the U.S. economy. | ||
And it will be felt, it will be seen, it will be heard. | ||
But see, oh, there's the fake news once again. | ||
There's the corporate media once again. | ||
They don't want to tell you the real story. | ||
The tariffs are going to crash the market. | ||
There's no market crash. | ||
And if it does go down again, buy the dip. | ||
Not giving financial advice, but that's what I would do. | ||
If it even goes down again. | ||
Then they'll say, Trump is unleashing coal, which causes global warming and climate change. | ||
We're all going to die last year again. | ||
Well, what are the policies in China on coal? | ||
China builds like 20 coal plants a year. | ||
Even Barack Obama recognized this when he was running for president. | ||
And Trump brought it up earlier. | ||
He said, we signed this Paris Climate Accord and everybody has different rules than us. | ||
So we have to regulate our energy. | ||
We have to regulate our coal. | ||
But Russia and India and China, they don't. | ||
And Barack Obama said that in 2008. | ||
He said, what is the point of having all these regulations on America for manufacturing when we just buy everything from China anyway and they don't have any regulations? | ||
Obama understood it in 2008 because it's common sense. | ||
I mean, hell, it was Obama that said Trump is the... | ||
I don't know what happened since, but it doesn't matter. | ||
The point is, everybody saw it. | ||
But isn't it amazing? | ||
When Trump is doing good things for the U.S. economy, when Trump is doing good things for U.S. energy, the media spends it. | ||
So they never complained about the policies that made your energy bill go up, your price at the pump go up. | ||
They never complained. | ||
For decades? | ||
About the policies that forced American companies to manufacture in different countries? | ||
No! They never said anything about that. | ||
That was the real crime. | ||
That was the real devastating blow. | ||
And now Trump is reversing it and it's, oh my gosh, how dare he? | ||
How dare he? | ||
And they will either not even cover the importance of this today. | ||
Or they'll continue to tell you the stock market is crashing. | ||
When this... | ||
Again, phase one, cut the deals. | ||
Phase two, unleash the energy. | ||
Phase three, cut the taxes, cut the regulations. | ||
And then phase four is economic boom. | ||
That's it. | ||
That's where we're at. | ||
And they won't even cover it. | ||
This should be celebrated today. | ||
Americans should be celebrating this. | ||
The headline should be Trump unleashing American energy once again. | ||
Trump's new energy policies will bring down the cost on Americans. | ||
That should be the headline. | ||
That should be the story. | ||
This should be nationwide rallying, patriotism, excited about the future. | ||
But they won't do it. | ||
They won't. | ||
I've always talked about When Americans realize the potential we have that is not being met, it'll blow their minds. | ||
We don't have to be living paycheck to paycheck. | ||
We don't have to have a situation. | ||
You go try to recall the headlines from four years ago. | ||
It's like 50% of Americans don't have enough savings for an emergency. | ||
We don't have to live like this. | ||
And you know, there's other big problems that we have with the housing market. | ||
And mortgage rates, and that's a problem, and synthetic inflation of the housing market. | ||
But this is undoubtedly great for the American economy, and they hate it. | ||
They hate it. | ||
It's either they don't see it because they're blinded by hate, or they just Hate it because they hate Trump. | ||
They hate you. | ||
They hate America. | ||
But this should be celebrated. | ||
Phase two of Trump's plan to see a massive economic boom. | ||
And it's starting to take shape. | ||
You're starting to see it. | ||
The people that are wise enough are getting excited about it. | ||
But imagine you getting 10-15% more of the money that you make and keeping it in your pocket. | ||
Hell, if they cut the income tax, now you're talking like 15-20% of the money you make keeping it in your pocket instead? | ||
So there's this video where this guy moves to Thailand, and look, I don't want to move. | ||
I don't want to go to a different country. | ||
I want to live in America. | ||
But this guy moves to Thailand, and he's like, my God! | ||
He's like, I can't believe how rich I am here. | ||
Well, a lot of that has to do with the power of the American dollar. | ||
But we could also have a situation where things are a lot cheaper than they are. | ||
And so here's this guy. | ||
This thing's gone viral. | ||
But understand, you can live like this in America, folks. | ||
This idea that, oh, America can't live like this. | ||
Americans can't be rich. | ||
It's bullcrap. | ||
Your wealth has been stolen. | ||
Your prosperity has been shackled. | ||
Trump is removing the shackles. | ||
So here's this man in Thailand stunned at what it's like financially to live in Thailand in clip 14. Bro, why would I move back to America? | ||
unidentified
|
My rent! | |
$700 a month. | ||
My water bill is $3 a month. | ||
And my electricity bill is $23 a month. | ||
I literally eat for $2. | ||
I literally use transportation. | ||
I don't have a car. | ||
Use transportation for $3. | ||
Literally, if you go 30 minutes away somewhere, bro, why would I move back to America? | ||
I don't have a car note. | ||
I don't have a high electricity bill. | ||
I don't have a high cell phone bill. | ||
My cell phone bill in Thailand is literally $10 a month. | ||
Bro, I'm financially free. | ||
I'm stress-free. | ||
I don't get depressed. | ||
I wake up every day. | ||
Oh my God, this is so beautiful. | ||
Like, I love my life in Thailand, bro, because I can finally, for once in my life, get a bang for my buck. | ||
For once in my life, I don't have to worry about, oh, I can't afford this, I can't afford this, so I gotta wait to this check, I gotta wait to that check. | ||
Like, finally, I'm happy, y'all. | ||
That's why I got this smiley face. | ||
Finally. Why would I move back to America? | ||
Well, because we're going to be free here soon, too. | ||
unidentified
|
And what's so funny, gang? | |
I'm just like you. | ||
Free my people. | ||
No, we can have it like that here. | ||
By the way, it looks like he's living in some penthouse in a skyscraper in Thailand. | ||
So I'm sure for that market it's probably not a cheap rental. | ||
Financial freedom. | ||
Would you like that? | ||
Would you like some financial freedom, America? | ||
Would you like to be able to work one job and afford your lifestyle? | ||
Hell, if you want to work two jobs, keep the money you earn. | ||
Would you like that? | ||
Would you like things to be more affordable? | ||
Because that's where this is going. | ||
That's where these policies are taking us. | ||
And that's going to be the ultimate realization. | ||
That's going to be the veil finally removed. | ||
We never had to live like this, folks. | ||
And the work Doge is doing is like a whole other realm of helping us figure this out. | ||
Cut the waste, fraud, and abuse. | ||
Stop all the foreign aid. | ||
Cut the taxes. | ||
Cut the regulations. | ||
Unleash the American energy. | ||
All of this. | ||
All of this drowning of Americans financially can all be reversed with good policy. | ||
And it is all going to be reversed. | ||
And it'll be like sprinting uphill with a 50-pound rucksack to sprinting downhill without any weight. | ||
That's where it's going. | ||
Very, very excited about where this goes. | ||
You should be too. | ||
So here's some of the headlines, though. | ||
They're still trying to panic you. | ||
Or, you know, let me just say this before we go there. | ||
In Saudi Arabia... | ||
Because these are the countries building the incredible infrastructure. | ||
This is actually insane. | ||
Saudi's insane plan for world's tallest skyscraper, the Rise Tower, $5 billion project. | ||
Get this. | ||
Now, the Burj Khalifa was the tallest skyscraper in the world. | ||
I believe they built one in the UAE that eclipsed it. | ||
But the Burj Khalifa either is or was the tallest skyscraper in the world. | ||
The Rise Tower is going to be double, double as tall. | ||
It'll be over a mile tall. | ||
And then you talk about the project that they're doing. | ||
They're calling it the North Pole Project. | ||
They're calling it the Saudi Boom. | ||
I want an American boom. | ||
I want... | ||
New American infrastructure. | ||
I want metropolitan areas in America that are clean and nice and safe and prosperous and healthy. | ||
That's my American dream. | ||
That's the future of America I want to live in. | ||
And we can turn it all around with the right policy. | ||
It's going to take some time. | ||
But you know, I saw this guy. | ||
I don't know if he's a leftist or what he is. | ||
Kyle Kalinsky, I believe is his name, and I don't know if he made it, but he shared it. | ||
There's AI video of Americans working in factories, and they make it look bad, but it's like, oh, this is what you want? | ||
You want Americans working in factories? | ||
What is it about the left that think there's no dignity in working a job? | ||
What is that with them? | ||
You know, they always say, what are you going to do without your illegal immigrant plumber? | ||
What are you going to do without your illegal immigrant farmer? | ||
What are you going to do? | ||
Jasmine Crockett just came out the other day and said, what are you going to do without us picking your cotton? | ||
There's machines for that now, but okay. | ||
So yeah, there's the video right there. | ||
Put it up on the screen. | ||
What is this idea that somehow putting in work, putting in an honest day's work for an honest day's pay is somehow degrading? | ||
You're telling me that a young guy wouldn't take $25 an hour as a starting wage with benefits to go work at a factory? | ||
Probably have a scale of a raise? | ||
Probably get up to $35, $40 an hour in a couple years? | ||
Are you going to be rich? | ||
Well, no, but you're going to have a steady job with benefits. | ||
What is this idea from the left? | ||
Somehow... Somehow it's degrading to have an honest day's job with an honest day's work. | ||
What is it with liberals in that? | ||
You don't think Americans would take a good-paying job and work in a factory eight, ten hours a day? | ||
I got news for you. | ||
They already do. | ||
Actually, you just don't even know that. | ||
There still are big manufacturing hubs in America. | ||
When I was a kid, I made bags. | ||
Small little job, small factory thing. | ||
But it's like, people work in factories and they make stuff. | ||
Yeah. You can make a decent living. | ||
Pay your bills. | ||
Don't need a college degree. | ||
Hell, might not even need a high school degree. | ||
And you start putting these things and build up Main Street again? | ||
You start putting these things in these downtrodden metropolitan areas? | ||
I mean, what would you rather have? | ||
And we're going to have to have a major culture change. | ||
Would you rather go downtown? | ||
You can go downtown Austin right now, and there's this massive homeless facility. | ||
The state of Texas had this brilliant idea. | ||
They were going to build this facility in Austin. | ||
They bused all the homeless from Houston, San Antonio, and Dallas to Austin. | ||
They assumed this homeless facility would solve all the problems. | ||
Well, you know, it didn't. | ||
None of the homeless want to live there because they can't do drugs there. | ||
So there needs to be this culture shift. | ||
What would you rather see? | ||
Would you rather see... | ||
500 homeless people downtown or would you rather build a factory and who knows, maybe they go work there and maybe they get some of their dignity back. | ||
Maybe they get a sense of pride and self-worth again. | ||
Oh no, that's beneath us liberals. | ||
That's degrading work. | ||
You're sick, disgusting people with your holier-than-thou arm-chairing Like you're somehow above an honest day's work. | ||
No, I think Americans will take an honest day's work for an honest pay. | ||
I do think that. | ||
And then maybe you won't have these issues in the metropolitan areas with all the homelessness. | ||
Maybe you can offer them a sense of pride again. | ||
Maybe we can start building products that last again like we used to. | ||
So I'm insulted. | ||
I'm insulted as an American that has worked making things before. | ||
I am insulted that you somehow think that that is below an American. | ||
And what else are they saying? | ||
So you'd rather pay, you'd rather pay somebody in China or India a nickel an hour to make these things. | ||
So you'd rather have the equivalent of slave labor to make these things. | ||
And then by the way, How many carbon emissions are happening in the process of shipping these things all around the world? | ||
Did you ever think about that, Libtard? | ||
So you'd rather pay someone in China a nickel an hour than building these things in America and giving Americans a chance to have an honest job with an honest pay so that they're not homeless anymore and they can have a sense of self-worth and pride. | ||
And then you want to ship it all around the world to stop climate change. | ||
No, I find that extremely insulting, actually. | ||
And I would love to see Americans take pride in their work instead of living on the streets. | ||
All right, we are going to have to go into light speed as we were covering the Trump executive order ceremony here in the first half of the show. | ||
So let's kick it into high gear here. | ||
Let's pile drive through some of this news and the video clips. | ||
It's so funny to look at all these headlines. | ||
Stock market relief rally fades. | ||
500 less than 1% high. | ||
Stock market updates. | ||
So they all said it's crashing. | ||
It's over. | ||
Doom and gloom. | ||
And then none of that happened. | ||
Now some of the markets are up, but... | ||
But still it's bad because it's Trump. | ||
No, the market has not crashed. | ||
It would have to go down thousands of points. | ||
Thousands of points multiple days in a row for anybody to really consider it a crash. | ||
But see, that's what they just can't help themselves. | ||
Trump makes good policy. | ||
No, the actual truth is the policies that Trump is fixing crushed us. | ||
China criticizes Trump tariff. | ||
U.S. forges ahead with 104% tariffs on China. | ||
unidentified
|
Mm-hmm. | |
So this is the one that could get interesting. | ||
Trump's dispute with China is decades in the making. | ||
China mulling ban on Hollywood film releases in response to Trump tariffs. | ||
So this is going to be interesting. | ||
China does have a bunch of the resources that it mostly, I would say, that it takes to make pharmaceutical products. | ||
So maybe that's a problem. | ||
China has also got its claws into a lot of these American companies. | ||
Really, culture. | ||
Like Hollywood, the NBA. | ||
And this is how it goes. | ||
Hollywood wants to put a movie in China. | ||
China says, okay, you need to remove this scene, that scene, edit this dialogue, whatever. | ||
It's like it was famous. | ||
I think it was Maverick. | ||
They wanted something changed in Maverick. | ||
And they just said, no. | ||
You can take the movie. | ||
As is or not? | ||
So they can try to play this game leveraging their consumer market and say, we will ban the NBA. | ||
Well, they won't. | ||
We'll ban Hollywood films. | ||
Okay. That's how you deal with that. | ||
That's how you deal with that. | ||
And I guess what Trump is betting on is that Americans American companies are going to decide to be patriotic. | ||
Maybe that's the biggest risk he's taking here. | ||
Is that American companies are willing to take a hit to support the country. | ||
And maybe just for the first time in decades, decide, you know what? | ||
Go ahead, chi-coms. | ||
We're siding with America. | ||
Wouldn't that be refreshing? | ||
Here's a story I found from Jason at 1776 underscore New Jersey. | ||
I work a Marine, by the way. | ||
I work in the bicycle industry and the impact tariffs are having on my business are profound. | ||
the same bikes that people were paying four thousand dollars for during the pandemic is on sale this month for 1300 the same bike that people were paying 3400 for during the pandemic is on sale this month for 1900 bikes built and manufactured in the united states are selling out bikes manufactured overseas are reducing their prices to stay competitive with u.s manufacturers ah Ah! Tariffs are definitely impacting my industry, and it's absolutely amazing for my business. | ||
Thank you, President Trump. | ||
Oh, you mean... | ||
You mean now American companies are going to be competitive in the marketplace? | ||
And foreign products are going to have to lower their prices to compete? | ||
unidentified
|
Gee. Sounds so bad. | |
American companies made in America might actually get a shot. | ||
Oh, and the American media complains. | ||
Now, there's these... | ||
I don't know where Biden gets his bikes. | ||
Biden, is that a made-in-America bike? | ||
Probably not, because it couldn't hold you up. | ||
Maybe we need some training wheels. | ||
Trump and Powell spar anew in major Fed tests. | ||
Trump wants rates cut significantly. | ||
Powell is playing difficult on this. | ||
Then you have Musk and Navarro, and I think a lot of this is being overblown, to be honest. | ||
Elon Musk rips moron Trump trade advisor Peter Navarro dumber than a sack of bricks. | ||
Well, it's obvious why Musk might be against the tariffs. | ||
He wants free trade. | ||
But at the same time, oh, Musk is the president? | ||
Musk is getting favors? | ||
Oh, I guess not, huh? | ||
Yeah, guess that was a fake. | ||
Fake news, fake narrative too. | ||
But during the White House press conference today, Caroline Leavitt came out. | ||
She was asked about this and she said, well, and I'm paraphrasing, but she said, well, this White House thinks that debate is a good thing and we encourage members of the administration to engage in debate vigorously and they believe it's We're good to | ||
go. Real straight shooters, real honest people, real men are not scared of debate. | ||
They're not scared of disagreement. | ||
Really, actually, to be honest, we like it. | ||
We like when philosophy and intellectualism and political debate is a full contact sport. | ||
We like it. | ||
We're into it. | ||
So this whole concept that you're going to somehow turn us all off or turn us all against each other, wrong again. | ||
We actually like debate. | ||
We actually like politics as a full contact sport. | ||
This is why we call you snowflakes. | ||
Because you can't handle it. | ||
And that's why you try to turn it off and say, oh, racist, oh, homophobe, and all the other words you use. | ||
Because you can't handle the debate. | ||
You're soft. | ||
By the way, here's an interesting one. | ||
Country music artist John Rich, this is pretty wild. | ||
I'd never heard this story before, but you had to know it was going on in some way, shape, or form. | ||
John Rich tells the story of when President Trump asked him, why do they boo me when I bring up the vaccine? | ||
John Rich did not pull any punches. | ||
According to his story here in clip three. | ||
Trump gets through Eaton and you've seen him do this move right here. | ||
Wherever in the big boardroom he does this. | ||
Okay, that's what he does. | ||
He goes, can I ask you a question, John Rich? | ||
He never calls me John. | ||
John Rich. | ||
I look at him and I go, yes, sir. | ||
What's the question? | ||
He goes. | ||
Well, you do a lot of big shows. | ||
You're an entertainer. | ||
Yes, sir. | ||
You play for really big crowds. | ||
I go, I do. | ||
I play for really big crowds for a long time. | ||
He goes, have you seen these rallies I'm doing? | ||
It's 30,000, 40,000 people. | ||
I said, yeah, it's unbelievable. | ||
He goes, so here's the question. | ||
Why are people booing me at my rallies when I bring up the vaccine? | ||
This is the question from the President of the United States. | ||
A guy who is very proud at that moment of the fact that he was able to stomp the gas pedal and get that thing out because he's under the impression this is going to fix the problem. | ||
Operation Warp Speed. | ||
That's it. | ||
Okay, so here's a guy who, to his own admission, one of the biggest egos on the earth. | ||
And he's very proud of this. | ||
And I respect him. | ||
There is no limit. | ||
But I'm being asked a very direct question. | ||
And so, man, I went, looked at him and I said, okay, I'm going to tell you the answer and you're not going to like it. | ||
He goes, okay, what's the answer? | ||
You're going to look at me like this? | ||
I said, let me start off by saying this. | ||
We, the American people, do not trust the people that you were forced to trust at the time when this was happening. | ||
Let's start there. | ||
And I said, by the people we don't trust, here's who I mean. | ||
The FDA, the CDC, the NIH, the WHO, Fauci, and all the rest of them. | ||
I said, Mr. President, we consider them to be a bunch of murderous, depopulationist psychopaths. | ||
And his reaction? | ||
unidentified
|
That's a good way to start. | |
His eyes are, he goes, unbelievable. | ||
No, he is stunned that I said that. | ||
I said, now, let me tell you why they're booing you. | ||
I said, because all of them, including me, I said, I would boo you. | ||
I. I would boo you if you brought that up, and here's why. | ||
And he's looking at me, and I'm thinking to myself, this is the last time this guy's going to invite me to anything. | ||
He's never going to call me again. | ||
I'm throwing massive shade on a former president's, in his mind, one of his biggest accomplishments. | ||
And it dawned on me, nobody had told the man what I was telling him right now, because they all worked for him. | ||
They all got something to gain from him. | ||
They're not going to tell him this. | ||
Because they're not serving him well. | ||
I don't work for him. | ||
And I think a lot of him. | ||
So you see, we're not afraid of debate, and you know, another interesting point that he makes there is I think Trump probably does need more people in his ear and around him that aren't just kissing his butt all day long, but are willing to tell him some of the hard truths, maybe some of the things he can't see or hear or doesn't want to. | ||
And that's what another thing John Rich was talking about right there. | ||
It's like, hey, I don't work for him. | ||
I don't have to kiss his butt. | ||
And I'm going to tell the truth no matter what it costs me because that's more important. | ||
Now, the other news developing today, well, actually, we'll get to this in a second. | ||
One more thing on the tariffs. | ||
Trump Had a couple of other things to say while Netanyahu was in the Oval Office like this in clip two. | ||
unidentified
|
Do you plan to reduce the tariffs that your government put on Israeli goods? | |
On where? | ||
unidentified
|
On Israeli goods. | |
Well, we're talking about a whole new trade. | ||
Maybe not. | ||
Maybe not. | ||
Don't forget, we help Israel a lot. | ||
You know, we give Israel $4 billion a year. | ||
That's a lot. | ||
Congratulations, by the way. | ||
unidentified
|
That's pretty good. | |
But we give Israel billions of dollars a year. | ||
Billions. You know, I'd like a little more appreciation from a smug Netanyahu who has arrest warrants for war crimes all across the country. | ||
Excuse me, all across the planet. | ||
Multiple countries. | ||
I'd like to see a little more appreciation from Netanyahu in that situation. | ||
Smugness is something Netanyahu's never short of. | ||
But Trump says it right to his face. | ||
It's like, hey, you know, we give you billions of dollars, and you were still tariffing us. | ||
So, hmm. | ||
Then he made this announcement, which was all over the news today with some other military news, and then he said this in clip four. | ||
We have great things happening with our military. | ||
We also essentially approved a budget, which is in the facility, you'll like to hear this, of a trillion dollars, one trillion dollars, and nobody said anything like it. | ||
We have to build our military and We're very cost-conscious, but the military is something that we have to build and we have to be strong because you've got a lot of bad forces out there now. | ||
So we're going to be approving a budget. | ||
And I'm proud to say, actually, the biggest one we've ever done for the military. | ||
Now, it's... | ||
Definitely noteworthy that that gets announced while Netanyahu is there. | ||
He even makes the reference to Netanyahu like, oh, you'll really like this. | ||
And it's obviously because it's being postured against Iran. | ||
The situation with Iran is very complex. | ||
Strategically, there are reasons for America to posture itself against Iran. | ||
And it has to do with China, Russia, other geopolitical situations. | ||
So there are strategic reasons why it would be beneficial for the U.S. to posture itself against Iran. | ||
Then there's the obvious when they chant death to America in the streets with some of their radical leadership. | ||
The problem with that the only reason why they hate America is because we fund Israel. | ||
The only reason why they hate America is because we are Israel's guard dog, bodyguard. | ||
So that's the only reason why they chant death to America. | ||
If it wasn't for our coupling with Israel, then none of that would probably exist. | ||
But nonetheless, Trump promises $1 trillion in defense spending for the next year, and he is very hawkish on Iran, and he doesn't want them to have nuclear weapons, whether that's for his own reasons or for the benefits of Israel. | ||
That is the case. | ||
So a $1 trillion defense budget for next year. | ||
Now, I will say, I'm already hearing and seeing some of the leftists, well, if we can do this, why can't we have free health care and all this other stuff? | ||
And, you know, it's a fair point. | ||
I'm not for government subsidized anything. | ||
I'm a free market capitalist. | ||
But you notice, they have a problem with the $1 trillion for the defense budget. | ||
But when Doge is finding a trillion dollars of waste, fraud, and abuse, they complain about that. | ||
They complain about that. | ||
So it's like, you hate Doge, but with all the money that Doge is saving us, we could actually do some of this communist crap that you like, which I'm not for. | ||
We already live in a socialist country. | ||
You can even say we live in a communist country, but it's not even that good. | ||
We're just like a free charity. | ||
We're just like a piggy bank. | ||
Income tax is slavery. | ||
Property tax is theft. | ||
So we're just income tax slaves, property tax theft victims here, and then we're just a charity case for the world. | ||
But we already have all these socialist programs. | ||
So, okay, Doge is going to save trillions of dollars. | ||
Oh no, stop that! | ||
Well, this could be used for some of the stuff that you want, but you're so busy doing research on gay fish and shrimp treadmills and trans comic books and operas that you don't even know what's going on, and then you complain when we shut it down. | ||
Trillion dollar in defense spending. | ||
Well, there's no doubt the military will be strong. | ||
Morale is back. | ||
Pentagon prepares for Trump to go berserk. | ||
In the largest single deployment of stealth bombers in U.S. history, the Pentagon has sent six B-2 Spirit aircraft to Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. | ||
They're also stationing military officials in Tel Aviv now. | ||
So they really are kind of starting to circle the waters on Iran here. | ||
And it's not good. | ||
Now, I don't want war with Iran. | ||
I hope Trump doesn't want war with Iran. | ||
I hope Israel doesn't get the war with Iran that they've been lusting over for decades now. | ||
Because that's the... | ||
I mean, I try to balance everything out. | ||
It's like, okay, Trump is going to get probably an A-plus when it comes to the economy. | ||
That'll be his legacy, is the economy. | ||
Then there's the war with Iran or anybody else, and it's like, we don't want that. | ||
We don't want to get involved in another war. | ||
That would be a major stain. | ||
So it's like, if you have three things you're looking at, and I'd throw Doge into the economy thing. | ||
You have the economy, you have war, and then you have arresting the deep state. | ||
So it's like, if you got to pick one that you get for sure, you got to pick one that kind of remains neutral, you get to pick one that doesn't happen, what would you like to see? | ||
Because I think that's probably what you're dealing with here. | ||
If we get into a war with Iran, does that cancel out all the great economy developments for Trump's legacy? | ||
That's going to be a big blow to his legacy if we end up in a war in the Middle East again or a war in Iran. | ||
That's going to be a huge blow to his legacy. | ||
I don't even know. | ||
The economic success might not be enough to wipe that out. | ||
Now, you arrest the deep state. | ||
Okay, maybe now you're on a positive. | ||
The best situation would be great economy, no war with Iran, and we arrest the deep state. | ||
But that's pipe dream. | ||
I don't know if we'll get that. | ||
But there's no doubt the... | ||
And Netanyahu starting to pitch a little tent in his pants. | ||
War between US and Iran has never been closer and Tehran won't back down to Trump, Warren's ex-UK ambassador. | ||
And I'm like 50-50. | ||
Is this more of the economy's gonna crash? | ||
Stock market gonna crash? | ||
And then they were all wrong. | ||
It's like, war with Iran inevitable! | ||
Well, maybe not so much. | ||
We don't want it. | ||
And that would be a major blow. | ||
That would be like negating. | ||
It would turn it into probably just a neutral factor if we end up in war with Iran despite the great economy. | ||
Speaking of the deep state, well, actually, let's go to this. | ||
This is Pete Hegzeth first talking about the Panama Canal. | ||
Let's hear from Pete Hegseth quickly in clip 8. I want to be very clear. | ||
unidentified
|
China did not build this canal. | |
China does not operate this canal. | ||
And China will not weaponize this canal. | ||
Together with Panama in the lead, we will keep the canal secure and available for all nations through the deterrent power of the strongest, most effective... | ||
Thank you, Pete Hegseth. | ||
Now, Annapolina Luna giving an update on the Epstein files release. | ||
A lot of heat on the DOJ here, folks. | ||
Everybody seems to be getting frustrated with the DOJ. | ||
unidentified
|
Here's Annapolina Luna, clip 7. What I've been very frustrated with, Matt, is that I have tried very hard to obtain the Jeffrey Epstein files. | |
I have been contacting the Department of Justice. | ||
I've even chased down the FBI. | ||
And I keep getting the same thing. | ||
We are reviewing documents. | ||
I don't believe that the The process has been as good as the JFK rollout and the MLK and RFK rollout will be. | ||
And so I'm going to continue to put pressure on the DOJ to release that information. | ||
Look, there's bad people that haven't been charged for doing really horrible things with underage people. | ||
Has the DOJ given you any timeline on that, Ana? | ||
No. In fact, I haven't really gotten any communication from the DOJ. | ||
On with Matt Gaetz, who was supposed to be Attorney General. | ||
I'd like to see Matt Gaetz apply a little more pressure to old Pam Blondie. | ||
But I'm telling you right now, folks, everybody is using the DOJ and Bondi as the scapegoat. | ||
And I don't know if that's legitimate or that's just kind of how the things have ended up. | ||
But when people go to the FBI for stuff, they say the DOJ is holding it up. | ||
And I'm not just talking about Congress. | ||
I'm talking about victims of crimes. | ||
I'm talking about FBI investigators, FBI agents that are also working other cases. | ||
And when you ask them questions about, hey, where's this, where's that? | ||
Every single time, they're like, waiting on the DOJ, waiting on the DOJ, waiting on the DOJ. | ||
So again, I don't know if that's just scapegoating because Pam Bondi is just the least favorable right now in the Trump administration or if that's a serious issue. | ||
But she does do her Fox News interviews every night. | ||
That's probably at least two hours of her time every day when it comes to makeup and prep work and everything else. | ||
Probably about two hours of her day spent just getting ready for a Fox News interview. | ||
But every time you start barking up that tree of, hey, what's going on with this? | ||
What's going on with that? | ||
What's the status of the other thing? | ||
I always get the same response. | ||
Waiting on the DOJ. | ||
Sitting on the DOJ's desk. | ||
Nothing from the DOJ. | ||
Need the DOJ. | ||
So I don't know if that is a Bondi issue with everything or if that's just scapegoating, but that's what I hear on a bunch of different cases. | ||
So, alright, we still got a bunch of news here. | ||
I got a ton of video clips. | ||
I'm going to start pile driving through the news here and these video clips as well. | ||
Speaking of Trump administration Barbies, Let's go to Border Barbie. | ||
Christy Noem. | ||
She is, I think, still... | ||
Is that Christy? | ||
Can I get that? | ||
Let's go to Border Barbie. | ||
Christy Noem. | ||
She looks very confident handling this firearm here in this video. | ||
unidentified
|
Clip 15. I think Christy's probably doing a good job. | |
Could somebody do it better? | ||
I don't know. | ||
Maybe. But it's just like, what are you doing? | ||
What is with the theatrics? | ||
What is with the cinema? | ||
Whatever. It's social media. | ||
Do you think she used that gun, guys? | ||
She looks real well-trained on how to hold it, too. | ||
You know? | ||
Looking good, Christy. | ||
Looking really good. | ||
I like you. | ||
But maybe just bring it down a notch or two. | ||
It's a little overboard when you're awkwardly holding that giant gun that I'm sure you never used. | ||
Do you intend to use it? | ||
You're going to go Yosemite Sam on us here? | ||
Okay. Rounding up the cartel members at the border. | ||
Well, at least we got a border now. | ||
So that's good. | ||
Alright. If you want a little boost, | ||

Hey, by the way, you remember that Democrat lawyer that was throwing the Molotov cocktails at police officers during the BLM riots? | ||
Well, apparently, it's hard to tell if it's her or not, but... | ||
Now, she got just over a year for throwing a Molotov cocktail at a NYPD cruiser during 2020 BLM riots. | ||
Just over a year. | ||
Now, apparently, she's back on the streets in the latest leftist protests. | ||
That's amazing, isn't it? | ||
If I threw a Molotov cocktail at somebody or something, do you think I'd get a year in jail or do you think I'd probably be gone for a long time? | ||
Alright, we've got some Doge news here. | ||
And then some statements from Elon Musk. | ||
Let's first start here. | ||
Doge exposed our immigration asylum disaster. | ||
It was just the tip of the iceberg. | ||
Here are some more details into that in clip six. | ||
unidentified
|
Fox to reveal what's really going on. | |
Doge exposed our immigration asylum disaster. | ||
That was the tip of the iceberg. | ||
Now, here's the story. | ||
Doge has found that immigration gave a work authorization document to illegals. | ||
Just five months after they filed for asylum, that document allowed them to work while they waited to hear whether their asylum request had been accepted or denied. | ||
So, they could work as an illegal, knowing it would take years before their case was heard. | ||
The Immigration Department mailed them a social security number. | ||
No interview, no proof of identity. | ||
They just put it in the mail. | ||
Here's your number. | ||
In 2021, Doge says 270,000 new aliens were issued social security numbers, 590,000 in 2022, 964,000 in 2023, and 2.1 million in 2024, right before Biden left office. | ||
Doge also discovered that 1.3 million aliens are now receiving Medicaid. | ||
Millions received driver's licenses. | ||
Some registered to vote, and Doge says some actually did vote. | ||
Try and square that against Democrat claims that Musk is destroying Social Security and cutting Medicaid. | ||
He's not destroying. | ||
He's weeding out people who don't qualify. | ||
Who is really guilty of misinformation in this case? | ||
It is not Elon Musk. | ||
Those are stunning discoveries. | ||
To say the least, stunning. | ||
And who would be mad at Elon Musk for exposing that? | ||
Well, the criminals behind it would. | ||
And they are. | ||
And he's calling them out by name. | ||
Now even Chuck Schumer, who's complaining about Doge. | ||
So Elon Musk responds, Chuck, I'm starting to think you are getting a piece of the action with the government fraud. | ||
But no, that couldn't possibly be the reason, could it? | ||
Maybe Elon Musk actually knows the answer to that just like he does with Maxine Waters and others. | ||
Maybe they've seen things. | ||
As the forensic auditors are finding where all this waste, fraud, and abuse is ending up, the money ends up somewhere. | ||
It has to end up somewhere. | ||
Unfortunately, hundreds of billions of it was not even ever registered. | ||
Hundreds of billions just was printed on a computer and then went to recipients that they can't even trace or track. | ||
Which just tells you it's total theft, total fraud. | ||
Why do they want Elon Musk dead? | ||
Well, why does the mafia try to kill witnesses to its crimes? | ||
Why do witnesses to this have to go into witness protection? | ||
Here's Musk answering that question in clip five. | ||
... countries. | ||
You're working on helping the blind see and all of these other things. | ||
Is it really, is it really come down to the basic, you're aligned with President Donald Trump, who also is a friend of mine. | ||
Oh, thanks, Sean. | ||
You had to get that one in there, didn't you? | ||
Is that what it comes down to? | ||
Yeah, it turns out when you take away people's, you know, the money they're receiving, Well, | ||
Well, I know that overall, you know, financially in the end, yes, they can hurt you, but the people that they'll end up hurting are the people that work in your dealerships that may risk losing their job. | ||
The people that they may end up hurting are the people... | ||
So let's look, because he's absolutely right. | ||
Again, why do witnesses to mafia crimes have to go into witness protection? | ||
Because the mafia wants them dead. | ||
Why is Elon Musk living at the White House? | ||
He's basically in witness protection. | ||
He's witnessed the crimes of the political mafia. | ||
It's been stealing your money. | ||
Now, let's look at what is that, guys? | ||
Some protest happening in Alabama. | ||
They're handing out Kill Elon Musk stickers. | ||
The Party of Love. | ||
The Party of Unity. | ||
The Demoncrats. | ||
No, let's take a look at some of these freaks. | ||
Shall we? | ||
Man, oh man, this is like... | ||
This is your average Trump hater for 10 years. | ||
10 years. | ||
Now, it's almost impossible for me to do this work anymore because whenever I go to these things, I get recognized and they immediately send their goons after me. | ||
And they won't talk to me, but a lot of other people now are going to these events with a microphone and asking people basic questions to see if they can get any answers, and they can't. | ||
But, I mean, look at how dumb these people are. | ||
I have no problem in somebody disagreeing with my politics, but please, have any clue about what it is you're standing for, what it is you believe in. | ||
This guy has none. | ||
Clip 10. What are we protesting today? | ||
unidentified
|
Donald Trump. | |
What's Donald Trump doing that we're protesting? | ||
Well, he is fucking up the American democracy right now and trying to kind of repeal a bunch of shit in the Constitution, like, you know, rights and liberties, so. | ||
Is there anything in specific that he's... | ||
I don't have all the information. | ||
Clearly. I do know. | ||
What are you against? | ||
You don't have all the information? | ||
You don't have any of the testosterone? | ||
unidentified
|
Personally, I'm against tyrants. | |
I'm against tyranny. | ||
That's what I'm against. | ||
What is that? | ||
Somebody who's coming in and trying to take over the country and get rid of the rules and regulations that have existed for centuries to keep us citizens safe. | ||
And who do you think is doing that? | ||
You want to keep citizens safe? | ||
unidentified
|
Currently, Donald Trump and Elon Musk and all of his cabinet members. | |
Why Elon Musk, though? | ||
The Department of Government Efficiency, he was put in charge of a department that doesn't even exist before this, and he's not even an American. | ||
It did exist, actually. | ||
unidentified
|
They just renamed it. | |
Elon Musk. | ||
He is an American too. | ||
unidentified
|
How do you feel about Donald Trump? | |
I think that he deserves to die. | ||
He should what? | ||
Well, we're all going to die, bud. | ||
unidentified
|
Okay. That's how I feel. | |
So who do you want to run America? | ||
unidentified
|
The people, preferably. | |
You want the people to run America? | ||
Like a democracy should be, yes. | ||
Do you feel like the people voted for him? | ||
I think the people were fooled. | ||
unidentified
|
Fooled by who? | |
Him. How? | ||
I don't. | ||
It's a false consciousness. | ||
It's a what? | ||
It's a false consciousness. | ||
Here we go. | ||
Yeah, yeah. | ||
See if you can help your buddy out. | ||
unidentified
|
Okay, so the... | |
Can I see your sign? | ||
Yeah, come on. | ||
Let me see your sign. | ||
I'm proud of that. | ||
unidentified
|
No, to the camera, brother. | |
I'm talking to you. | ||
But I'm interviewing. | ||
unidentified
|
I got a mic. | |
I don't care about that. | ||
unidentified
|
You decided to talk... | |
I'm here as an individual. | ||
Individual? I'm here as an individual. | ||
Yes, I'm sure it was all your idea to go out there. | ||
unidentified
|
If you have a sign... | |
Read the sign. | ||
Okay, all right. | ||
What does the sign say? | ||
What does the sign say? | ||
Hold on, brother. | ||
You go out of your way. | ||
unidentified
|
All people are children of the earth. | |
Yeah, all people are children of the earth. | ||
unidentified
|
Can you disagree with that? | |
Can you disagree with that? | ||
No, I can't disagree. | ||
What do you got to say about that? | ||
I came out of the earth's vagina. | ||
I love that, brother. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
I am of the earth's womb. | ||
I'm just here on Turtle Island. | ||
Me and my natives. | ||
Spawns of the earth. | ||
Look, buddy. | ||
We gave you guys a chance to run things and it didn't go so well. | ||
So, why don't you keep making your signs and go hanging out at your protests. | ||
You're good at that and that might be it. | ||
But this is why we need plastic politics for liberals. | ||
Because they need to feel involved. | ||
They need a sense of purpose. | ||
They don't get any sense of purpose from their lives. | ||
They live meaningless lives, apparently. | ||
So they need a sense of purpose. | ||
So we just build a fake Capitol and we have fake little bills that they can sign and vote on and feel good about themselves but nobody gets hurt. | ||
Like when you give a little kid a plastic kitchen set that you can't actually turn the oven on or boil water or have a knife because somebody might get hurt. | ||
You can't let these people actually get involved in politics. | ||
People get hurt. | ||
So you give them a little fake one. | ||
Alright, here's a little bit here's an unhinged A Dodgers fan? | ||
How can you be upset if you're a Dodgers fan right now? | ||
I guess your hatred for Donald Trump outweighs your love for the Dodgers who are like buying up every free... | ||
They just literally buy every player. | ||
I think they might be undefeated still almost a month or so into the season. | ||
They've got to have played at least like 15 games probably. | ||
It's like the hottest team in baseball. | ||
Just won the World Series. | ||
They get all the best players. | ||
And this Dodgers fan is now disavowing the team in quite hilarious fashion, I have to say. | ||
Because they went to the White House. | ||
This is fun. | ||
unidentified
|
Clip 18. I'm crashing the f*** out because tell me why are the Dodgers going to the White House? | |
Take this f*** off. | ||
Take this f*** off. | ||
I can't. | ||
Give me that f***ing shirt. | ||
Give me your f***ing shirt. | ||
Now she's hurting her dog. | ||
unidentified
|
I don't care how I think all three of them have won MVP awards. | |
You have three MVPs on your team. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh my gosh. | |
Oh my gosh. | ||
Now she's naked. | ||
unidentified
|
I don't care who is in charge. | |
I don't fucking care what is a fucking tradition. | ||
I don't fucking care. | ||
It's all fucking stupid. | ||
I fucking hate you guys. | ||
Count your fucking days, Dodgers. | ||
Count your fucking days. | ||
What does that even mean? | ||
Psycho butt? | ||
The leftist Latinx Latinos are going nuts because the Dodgers went to the White House and had a great time with President Trump. | ||
Why are you so mad? | ||
Don't you know that Latinos helped Trump get in the office? | ||
We support Trump and the Dodgers. | ||
Just shows these are hilarious. | ||
Oh, it's definitely hilarious. | ||
Guys, what do you think? | ||
Can you save her? | ||
Anybody want to make the effort? | ||
Do you think you can bring her back to reality here? | ||
She doesn't have to be a Dodgers fan. | ||
Although I don't know why you wouldn't want to be a Dodgers fan right now. | ||
I'm pretty sure they're probably the best team in baseball still. | ||
They don't even need the Torpedo Bats. | ||
They have the Torpedo salary. | ||
Yeah, you crashed out, alright. | ||
And then you might even be guilty of abusing an animal the way you ripped the shirt off of your poor dog. | ||
Alright, who's going to save her, guys? | ||
Who's going? | ||
Well, you won't find her at a Dodger game. | ||
Maybe she'll become a Giants fan. | ||
Wouldn't that be the ultimate thing? | ||
To become a Giants fan? | ||
If you really want to crash out, go root for the Giants. | ||
Go put on a Giants hat. | ||
Then you'll crash out even harder when the Dodgers probably win another World Series and you'll be in a Giants hat and still clueless politically. | ||
Alright, by the way, speaking of Doge, More developments here. | ||
The U.S. African Development Foundation has terminated $51 million in grants including $229,000 for marketing 100% organic shea butter in Burkina Faso. | ||
We're marketing organic shea butter. | ||
In Burkina Faso. | ||
Do you guys use organic shea butter? | ||
If you are in Burkina Faso, you probably do. | ||
$84,000 for a business incubator for spa and wellness entrepreneurs in Nigeria. | ||
That's nice. | ||
$239,000 for marketing pineapple juice in Benin. | ||
Does pineapple juice need marketing? | ||
$246,000 for mango drying facilities in the Ivory Coast. | ||
I think it's mango season now. | ||
They need drying facilities. | ||
You're paying for them. | ||
$99,000 to increase yogurt production in Uganda. | ||
I struggle to sleep at night because I'm thinking about yogurt production in Uganda. | ||
$48,000 for a WhatsApp marketing chatbot in Kenya. | ||
A chatbot in Kenya. | ||
That's wonderful. | ||
So glad we paid for that. | ||
$50,000 to train farmers to grow dragon fruit in Senegal. | ||
Do we get that dragon fruit? | ||
For free, hopefully. | ||
Pretty good stuff. | ||
Canceled. That's just part of the $51 million in grants they canceled. | ||
I don't know, guys. | ||
It's going to take some time for me to get over not paying for yogurt production in Uganda. | ||
That was something very near and dear to my heart, and now Musk has denied me that satisfaction. | ||
Today, this is Tulsi Gabbard announces this today. | ||
Tulsi Gabbard announces the establishment of a new task force charged with transparency and accountability to restore trust in the intelligence community and end the weaponization of government against Americans. | ||
My director initiatives group, or DIG, is already hard at work executing the tasks required by President Trump's intelligence-related executive orders, such as ending wasteful spending, streamlining processes, identifying documents for declassification, like Crossfire Hurricane. | ||
...to help streamline the declassification process, | ||
which... All seems to get held up at the same desk. | ||
At the same desk at the DOJ. | ||
The desk has been vacant because the time slots on Fox News are filled. | ||
But then somebody explained this to me. | ||
Well, I'll tell you the reasons that have been giving, though I don't like it. | ||
So we mentioned this yesterday. | ||
Steven Jensen. | ||
It's now official. | ||
He's even been added to the FBI leadership page, assistant director in charge. | ||
This is the Washington field office. | ||
He was involved in the persecution of January Sixers and the Catholic parents at school board meetings. | ||
It just so happens his intelligence analysis was also involved in the Russian collusion hoax. | ||
This all seems indefensible. | ||
Now, people are saying, well, these are just agents that just do their jobs. | ||
Sorry, that is not acceptable for me because there were plenty of agents that refused to do their jobs because they were illegal and unconstitutional. | ||
They became whistleblowers and they haven't even been restored to the FBI yet. | ||
So you're promoting the bad agents and you haven't even restored the good agents. | ||
So no, this is indefensible. | ||
Now the other theory of thought is that they brought these people into the Washington field office. | ||
Because they know where the bodies are buried and they know the details that happened leading up to the January 6th persecution and the persecution of Catholic parents. | ||
Now that might be fathomable, but I don't like any of it. | ||
It's a bad look and it goes against everything that we thought we stood for here. | ||
But it is official. | ||
It's on the FBI's website and he's in the Washington field office. | ||
And people are not happy about it. | ||
And rightfully so, I would say. | ||
Meanwhile, Supreme Court, the Supreme Court did rule in favor of President Trump with the Alien Enemies Act, but there were four justices, there were four justices that voted against Trump deporting criminals, deporting violent gang members. | ||
Now, what's crazy about this? | ||
Nobody is surprised that Amy Coney Barrett now votes with the liberals 75% of the time. | ||
All four women. | ||
And I guess they're all liberals now. | ||
You know, that's kind of another story, isn't it? | ||
How many conservative women are really turning into liberals? | ||
And that's what Amy Coney Barrett represents. | ||
There's kind of a little debate around that happening right now. | ||
Some names might be associated with Elon Musk and some other names like Megyn Kelly. | ||
I don't really delve into that, but why would all four women on the Supreme Court vote against deporting violent criminals? | ||
Does that make any sense? | ||
So these four women just made America less safe for women, except they didn't have the votes, so... | ||
They voted to make America less safe for women. | ||
They voted to keep violent gang members in the country. | ||
Many of which have raped and murdered women. | ||
Why would the women vote for that? | ||
Is it because they hate Trump? | ||
Why would Amy Coney Barrett do that? | ||
Amy Coney Barrett siding against Trump sparks MAGA fury. | ||
She's a disgusting fraud. | ||
I would say this about Amy Coney Barrett. | ||
I don't know what went wrong with you. | ||
Maybe you were bad from the very beginning. | ||
But she clearly misrepresented herself to President Trump. | ||
And Amy Coney Barrett needs to resign. | ||
She needs to retire. | ||
And she needs to let President Trump appoint an actual conservative to the Supreme Court. | ||
Because this is ridiculous. | ||
This is embarrassing. | ||
You have been beyond a letdown. | ||
So if you're scared, if you are scared because of the Democrat terrorists and the treatment you received from the Democrat terrorists and Kavanaugh's received from the Democrat terrorists and you're scared, then you need to retire. | ||
If Amy Coney Barrett is scared to vote her conscious, then she needs to retire. | ||
If she's compromised and can't vote her conscious, she needs to retire. | ||
She has been beyond an embarrassment. | ||
And she has stabbed Trump in the back way too many times. | ||
Way too many times. | ||
It's totally unacceptable. | ||
She needs to retire and let Trump actually appoint a conservative because this is getting out of control. | ||
Speaking of out of control, Colorado Democrats have passed a law where they will let the state take your child if you don't trans them or if you're in a custody battle, If you refuse to trans your child, they will give the child to the parent full custody that will trans the child. | ||
Here's a Colorado state representative explaining this madness in clip nine. | ||
unidentified
|
Section two of the bill. | |
So if you don't affirm those delusions of the child, then you are, and by misgendering them or dead naming them, then that's considered child abuse. | ||
And then the bill says to give paramount consideration by the judge. | ||
...to that issue, which effectively gives the child to the parent who affirms the delusions. | ||
And the issue that I've taken with it from the beginning is that it's not us, the parents who care about our kids and don't believe in this gender identity crap. | ||
We're not the ones pushing this ideology on the kids. | ||
They are. | ||
The Democrats who ran this bill, they're the ones pushing this stuff. | ||
And now what they're saying is if we confuse your child with our gender identity politics... | ||
And you don't affirm that delusion will take your child from you. | ||
And I don't think the people of Colorado appreciate that. | ||
I know I certainly don't. | ||
Think about how diabolical that is. | ||
They brainwash your child and then they deceive them into this transgender ideology at the school, the liberal teachers and administrators, and the kid comes home and says, I want to do this trans surgery. | ||
And the parent says, no. | ||
The kid then goes to the school. | ||
And then the parents lose the kid. | ||
These are sick freaks, man. | ||
They're everywhere, too. | ||
They're in classrooms. | ||
They're on judges' benches. | ||
That is wild. | ||
All right, in studio here, friend of mine, Michael Graves, and I don't even know where to begin. | ||
I mean, I do want to talk about your story and your tour, and I'll kind of start it like this. | ||
I go to rock shows quite often, and You can't go to a rock show in America without seeing a Misfits t-shirt. | ||
And it's kind of a bittersweet thing because when I see that, I can't help but think of you. | ||
And I think for a real dedicated Misfits fan, the impact you had on the brand, on the music, was as important as anybody that was with the band. | ||
But I wonder, like, do you know? | ||
Do you care? | ||
Do they have any idea? | ||
Do they just wear the shirt because it's trendy? | ||
So I think about that stuff when I see those t-shirts everywhere and the fact that you're still touring. | ||
What's mind-blowing to me, I guess I put it like this, what's mind-blowing to me is, and I don't even know if you have an answer to this, you're here, you got a show tonight, we'll talk about your show here tonight, just outside of Austin, but you're maybe the most cancelled musician In America. | ||
Do you think that's fair to say? | ||
I think so, yeah. | ||
Yeah. Explain to me why you think you're the most canceled person. | ||
Explain to the audience. | ||
I know the story, so explain to the audience. | ||
Why? I think that I've become that straw man. | ||
You know, I check off all the boxes. | ||
J6, Proud Boys, InfoWars, Christian, white guy, you know. | ||
And because of the Misfits, whenever you see my name, it's associated with the Misfits. | ||
And so I've just become that target. | ||
You know, we've talked before, obviously, and I've been doing this since 2004, the whole cancel bid, since I've started talking out, giving my opinions. | ||
So I've just become that guy. | ||
I've become that guy. | ||
I don't know who else I can point to that goes through this. | ||
I don't know anybody. | ||
And there are people I see. | ||
Music-wise. | ||
Music-wise. | ||
There's people that I see that are probably more outspoken than you. | ||
Yeah. You just kind of have a life. | ||
You just like to have a social life. | ||
You're not that outspoken. | ||
It's not like you're going around wearing MAGA hats and stuff. | ||
Like we were talking earlier, this other guy, Forgiato Blow. | ||
Who's really popular. | ||
And I'm telling you, I'm like, well, the reason why he's popular, he's good at social media. | ||
He goes out, he does a bunch of Trump stuff, Trump stunts, MAGA hat stunts, music videos with that. | ||
You're not really like that. | ||
You've got a social life. | ||
You like to hang out with people that are in the Proud Boys or you like to hang out with people like me coming to InfoWars, but that's not your identity. | ||
You still make music. | ||
You still have musical talent that you put on display. | ||
I don't understand. | ||
I mean, you look at Aaron Lewis, who's very outspoken. | ||
He still gets big. | ||
He still gets big bookings. | ||
I don't know anybody trying to cancel his entire life. | ||
Oh, man, you're right. | ||
And during the break, we were talking, and it did. | ||
It dawned on me about the social media thing. | ||
I have Twitter. | ||
That's it. | ||
I have an ex-account. | ||
Everything else, I'm banned on. | ||
And I suck at social media. | ||
I've never been big on social media. | ||
Yet it was all taken away from me years ago. | ||
And I made the joke. | ||
I was like, well, you know, your problem is that... | ||
You rely on your talent. | ||
Yeah, right. | ||
Yeah. That's your problem. | ||
You don't do stunts. | ||
And I've seen you perform. | ||
I mean, you still got it. | ||
You can still sing. | ||
You can still play. | ||
You still write music. | ||
So there's no doubt the ability is there. | ||
But it's like you know you have the ability. | ||
You're confident in your ability. | ||
So you don't feel like, hey, I got to go do these stunts or I got to go do a music video on a MAGA hat or I got to go do some political statement. | ||
Right. But it's like that. | ||
But it still doesn't add up to me. | ||
Why? Why do they torment you? | ||
Why do you book a venue and immediately they get 100 calls saying cancel it? | ||
It's crazy. | ||
I don't... | ||
I don't know. | ||
I don't know... | ||
I don't know why. | ||
Everybody tells me how unimportant I am, yet every time I poke my head up, there's 50 goblins on top of me screaming and yelling about I'm a fascist Nazi. | ||
You know, threatening to throw rocks through the windows of these clubs, and it's crazy. | ||
I just want to play my music. | ||
You know, I've never really been political. | ||
I've mostly played defense on this whole thing. | ||
And what I mean by that is I play defense because if somebody asks my opinion, I'll give my opinion. | ||
But it's not like I'm out there, like you said, like I'm some big political guy. | ||
Mostly, the things that I say, whether I've been on Alex's show, or your show, or if I'm doing my own thing and I'm speaking out, it usually goes to championing individuality and talking about my relationship with Christ and my spirituality and how it's important to be strong in your heart. | ||
I don't know. | ||
I'm still trying to figure it out. | ||
I don't know why it's difficult for me to find opportunity. | ||
In these past five years, I've been crushed. | ||
It's not like you're trying to burn the music industry down. | ||
You're playing very intimate venues. | ||
You have an audience that's loyal. | ||
They want to see you perform. | ||
It's a very personal performance. | ||
You're right there next to the people you're playing for. | ||
It's not like you're trying to... | ||
Go scorched earth on the music industry or get all the... | ||
You're playing to your audience. | ||
You're going to where they're at. | ||
It's like, for me, I know why I get tormented, right? | ||
I know. | ||
I work at InfoWars. | ||
I work for Alex Jones. | ||
I'm outspoken in support of Trump, outspoken against the Democrats, call them tyrants. | ||
There's no mystery there. | ||
I know why they come after me. | ||
I can't even imagine the psychological torture. | ||
I would imagine it's... | ||
Psychological torture to just be like, what is it? | ||
Why can't I just live my life? | ||
Why can't I go perform at a venue in a small town with my fans at a very intimate performance where you're laying it all on the line? | ||
Why can't they just let me live? | ||
Does it bother you? | ||
Because it is a mystery. | ||
It doesn't make sense to me. | ||
It bothers me a lot. | ||
I like to keep... | ||
I'm a kind of stoic guy. | ||
I don't like to... | ||
I don't like to say how much it has affected me, but, you know, it has in profound ways, in deeply profound ways, because, yeah, I just want to play my music. | ||
I want to take care of my family. | ||
I just want to do what I do. | ||
My shows are like a love fest. | ||
You know what I mean? | ||
I meet all these great people. | ||
They tell me their stories of how the music over the years has affected them and how they're connected to it. | ||
It's a beautiful thing. | ||
It really is. | ||
And then there's this whole other dark side to it that is just awful. | ||
The death threats that I get and the messages that I get are just awful. | ||
That's insane to me. | ||
And it's not like... | ||
You don't go around. | ||
People wouldn't even know your politics. | ||
I know your politics. | ||
I'm your friend. | ||
People wouldn't even know your politics. | ||
You don't sit down and like, here's my politics. | ||
You just sit down and talk to people. | ||
There was a group in Darien, Illinois that were putting pressure on the government of the city of Darien to not allow me to come and play because of all of these things. | ||
And the mayor of the town had to make a statement. | ||
At the city council meeting, saying that he couldn't get involved and he wouldn't get involved because my right of free speech. | ||
Yeah, the little First Amendment thing that we have? | ||
Yeah, yeah. | ||
But again, I don't know why I'm such a threat. | ||
You know, I'll be in San Antonio in a couple of days, and there's protests being... | ||
Protests? Yeah. | ||
They're going to protest me. | ||
I open my show as a little Bob Dylan song. | ||
Just go to the show. | ||
Why are you showing up? | ||
Go to the show. | ||
Have a good time. | ||
I would put these people on the list. | ||
I'd buy them a beer. | ||
I don't understand. | ||
The punk fans are angry. | ||
Bull crap. | ||
It's not punk fans. | ||
Who's ever doing this to you is not a punk fan. | ||
It's the punk community. | ||
The punk community is very upset. | ||
I don't buy it. | ||
It's some loser leftist. | ||
That just for some reason have this bone to pick with you. | ||
They think that they're punk rock. | ||
And again, if they want to be punk rock and call themselves punk rock, whatever. | ||
I've never made any claims to the punk rock community. | ||
I haven't ever tried to define what it is or what it's not. | ||
I don't care. | ||
I don't want to be part of the punk community. | ||
I don't want to be part of the metal community. | ||
I just want to be... | ||
You know, who I am. | ||
I just want to be who I am. | ||
I want to make my music and go on with my life. | ||
But this is out of control. | ||
I took a break for a while. | ||
I took about eight months off. | ||
I got myself a great job. | ||
I was working for an assisted living facility. | ||
I took over and rebuilt the activity and recreation department. | ||
There was about 100 beds, you know, about 85, 90 residents. | ||
In this assisted living facility. | ||
It was fantastic. | ||
And I decided to, you know, I'm getting older. | ||
And I said to myself, I either have to focus on what I'm doing here with this normal job. | ||
It was great. | ||
I'd get up. | ||
I would go. | ||
Nobody bothered me. | ||
It was a beautiful thing. | ||
You know, I had people under me that I was working for and rebuilt this program. | ||
It was amazing. | ||
They never saw anything, anybody like me before. | ||
And it was really... | ||
Changing these people's lives and really brought something special to this building. | ||
And I said, well, you know, I'm going to be 50. I just turned 50. I either have to focus on what I'm doing here or, you know, I have to get back into music because if I don't, then it'll just be like, you know, my music will just be, you know, something that I do every now and again. | ||
I'll be telling stories like, oh, when I was in the band. | ||
So I decided, you know what? | ||
Things seem to maybe have calmed down a bit. | ||
Everyone was saying, oh, now that Trump won, things are different. | ||
And so I started booking shows again. | ||
I said, I left the job. | ||
I left the job in good hands and started booking shows again. | ||
And it is far worse than it's ever been. | ||
It's far worse than it's ever been. | ||
It's crazy to me. | ||
And is it... | ||
You know, these venues, obviously the venue you're playing tonight, we can let people know if they're in the Austin area, they can come check you out tonight. | ||
But obviously, some of this lands on the venues for caving. | ||
Yeah. Yeah, totally. | ||
unidentified
|
Totally. Because that's the problem. | |
Once they know they can get you to cave, and it's not you, but I mean the venues, once they know they can get you to cave, that's when the pressure, then they're like, oh, this is a successful... | ||
Pressure campaign. | ||
Yeah. And they keep doing it. | ||
And I guess some of the venues are, the promoters are these leftist progressives. | ||
And then there's some of the promoters or the venues that just don't want the BS. | ||
They just don't understand what's happening. | ||
And they're afraid that... | ||
Yeah, just the noise. | ||
They're just like, just shut it down. | ||
Sure. And I get it. | ||
I understand it. | ||
But, like, for example, in San Antonio... | ||
And some of these, even the leftist promoters, I know that their bar has whatever, drag time, bingo, right? | ||
Or sometimes they have a gay night, or like in San Antonio, the promoter, the owner of the club is a black guy. | ||
I knew that way before any of these protests, and I'm being called a racist, so it's not me that's finding out. | ||
Like, oh, wait, the promoter is a black guy? | ||
Oh, I can't play there. | ||
Like, oh, you have gay night? | ||
Oh, I'm sorry, I don't do that. | ||
I'm going to have to cancel the show. | ||
So it's just this, like, it's this backwards, it's crazy town. | ||
It's absolutely crazy town. | ||
Well, I'll define what punk is. | ||
I'll go ahead and define it. | ||
It's exactly what you're doing. | ||
And that used to be... | ||
Kind of the mentality, and that's why it's so strange, you know, the joke, rage for the machine now. | ||
Yeah. Because they do. | ||
They do. | ||
They basically returned, they rose like a phoenix, became relevant again, but I wonder if that's just because they shilled for the Democrat Party, and so they got on these big tours again. | ||
But no, punk rock is like, you know, that's old school. | ||
It's like, and you know, it's kind of funny, people always, and the purists will say, why do you listen to metal music? | ||
Or why do you listen to ACDC? | ||
Don't you know they used to do the devil horns? | ||
Well, look, they did that because they were punk rock. | ||
Like, that was the whole thing. | ||
It was like, you called them Satan worshippers, so they said, oh yeah, I'll wear devil horns to my show. | ||
It's not like they introduced that as a theme. | ||
They didn't introduce that like, yeah, we're bringing the devil to our shows. | ||
No. You started calling them Satanists, so they said, oh, fine, yeah, we're Satanists now? | ||
We'll wear devil horns. | ||
We'll make it a theme. | ||
But that's punk rock. | ||
It's like, oh, you want to insult me by saying this, then I'm even going harder. | ||
I'm going to own it now, and then I'm going to be bigger than ever. | ||
So that's what punk rock is. | ||
And now they've just kind of, it's like the whole thing, it's like you said, it's like it's all been inversed. | ||
Now it's like, oh, you have to go with the establishment. | ||
You have to be anti-punk rock to make it now. | ||
It's that spell that's been cast over... | ||
These people, and you had said it in one of your segments earlier about these people being lonely, being broken. | ||
There's a psychological aspect to this to where we don't get too deep into the psychological part of it, but that free-floating anxiety that these people have because of their psychological makeup, the loneliness, that, again, that free-floating anxiety. | ||
And as the media keeps putting things in front of them to attack because they don't, in their minds, you know, they are. | ||
They're unhappy. | ||
They don't know which way they're going. | ||
And so there's this quiet panic inside them. | ||
So when they see something that they can latch on to that seems to alleviate that feeling that they have, that anxiety that they have, they run for, you know, mass formation, right? | ||
Mass formation psychosis that leads to authoritarian... | ||
Yeah, because they need this sense of purpose. | ||
Exactly. And even if it's such a worthless endeavor, like, hey, I'm going to torment Michael Graves on his tour. | ||
It's like, if they can do it and they can shut down a show, it's like, oh, that's my sense of purpose. | ||
Right. They feel like they've accomplished something now. | ||
That's why I'm so... | ||
And I was talking about this earlier, too. | ||
I'm like, look, man, you have to give people an opportunity to succeed. | ||
And I truly believe that you can solve so many problems by giving people an opportunity. | ||
And, you know, think about the people that are going after you or anybody similar. | ||
And I'm just thinking, man. | ||
If you had something better to do with your time, you wouldn't be bothering us. | ||
You wouldn't be bothering Michael Graves. | ||
You wouldn't be bothering conservatives. | ||
You'd have a higher sense for yourself. | ||
You'd have an actual purpose, so you wouldn't concern yourself with this stuff. | ||
But that's what it is. | ||
They're chasing this purpose, and it's like low-hanging fruit. | ||
And they get praised by the radical left. | ||
It's like, hey, go out and protest Elon Musk. | ||
Like, yeah. | ||
Hey, go out and bash a Tesla. | ||
Like, all right. | ||
So that's like their reward is they get that praise. | ||
It's like, no, that's not how you're supposed to be satisfying that sense of purpose, that desire to be valuable. | ||
Yeah, it's very like cosplay. | ||
Like in San Antonio, they're going to come out, they're going to do these protests. | ||
Like, who's their audience? | ||
Like, what? | ||
What is then going to be... | ||
Right. What then have they accomplished? | ||
I don't understand. | ||
I guess maybe... | ||
I mean, after I work or I do something, I want to go home. | ||
I want to hang out with my kids, maybe sit, do something nice, eat something. | ||
I don't want to go out and protest something. | ||
So... I don't... | ||
So you've got back-to-back shows. | ||
You've got the show tonight. | ||
Tell people about the tour. | ||
Tell people about tonight and then, I guess, San Antonio later this week, this weekend? | ||
Yeah, so tonight is in Elgin, Texas at the Liberty Tree Tavern. | ||
I'm playing with Jake Whalen. | ||
I think it's from like 8 to 11.30. | ||
Great music. | ||
Jake is an incredibly talented guy. | ||
And then in San Antonio on, I think it's Thursday. | ||
This is all up on your X account for people that want to get information at Radio Deadly on X. Or you can go to officialmichaelgraves.com under the tour section. | ||
The dates should be there. | ||
Well, it's good that you, I mean, I can't even imagine the work. | ||
Do you book your own events or do you have somebody? | ||
I do. | ||
No, I do. | ||
So you're doing it all? | ||
Yeah. It's me and one other guy that helps me. | ||
I have a great webmaster, but really, it's just me. | ||
It's just me. | ||
I drive. | ||
I'm the merch guy. | ||
I'm the manager. | ||
I'm the everything at this point. | ||
You're putting in all the work, and it's just so pathetic, these people trying to derail you. | ||
That's not a pun from your last album, by the way. | ||
That was not meant as a pun. | ||
Well, if you are in the Austin area, or Elgin is probably about 30 miles or so from here. | ||
And by the way, the Liberty Tree, we went there when... | ||
This is the type of people you have to work with. | ||
When everything was shutting down for COVID, they refused to do it. | ||
It was one of the only pubs where you could go get a cold beer that wasn't shut down. | ||
Yeah, it's a cool spot. | ||
I played there last year. | ||
Again with Jake and it was awesome. | ||
And the owners saw that I was having trouble last year and this year and invited me out. | ||
You know, you... | ||
I see you and I see how you live like... | ||
You live through your work. | ||
You live through your art. | ||
And that's kind of your outlet. | ||
That's your expression. | ||
And I was talking to you in the break. | ||
I was like, man, you gotta... | ||
I mean, I'll say it, if you want to talk about it, because you and Andrew Wilkow, who's now one of the biggest names in conservative talk radio, he's really emerged in the last couple years as one of the biggest names, and you were working with him, I forget the name of that project. | ||
Conservative Punk. | ||
Conservative Punk. | ||
And I'm just like, see, but that's what I'm saying, it's your outlet, your expression is through your music, and I'm just like, man, you gotta putch the gas. | ||
And you gotta get on these shows. | ||
It's not your forte. | ||
It's not your style. | ||
I'd go out there and I'd just confront the protesters. | ||
I'd film them for social media. | ||
It's just unfortunate that that's what you have to do because it's not your character. | ||
Your expression is out there on the stage. | ||
I've been trying to get better on X and that's why I constantly post this stuff on X to have this running tally of what I'm going through so that You know, I know I need to be better on social media, have to sort of play the game, but... Hey, if they want a bad boy, give it to them. | ||
Yeah, you know, and also everyone's like, oh, you should make a statement, you know, come out and make some sort of statement. | ||
So I just, I released this documentary that's on my website, officialmichaelgraves.com. | ||
It's called An American Prayer. | ||
And... Wasn't that a song on your last album? | ||
Yeah, yes, yeah. | ||
I remember that. | ||
Yep. I actually wrote it a couple years ago when everything was shut down and I was coming through and we took the InfoWars vehicle out and it was awesome. | ||
But there it is. | ||
An American Prayer. | ||
Owen Schroyer makes an appearance in it. | ||
I want to see the same people that are supporting some of these other independent artists that they're trying to cancel that are now too big. | ||
I want to see them supporting you. | ||
I don't know what it's going to take, but I'd love... | ||
They want to make Michael Graves the bad boy. | ||
Let's see it. | ||
Let's see Michael Graves the bad boy. | ||
It's just I know it's so against your nature because you let it all off on the stage. | ||
That's where you get it out. | ||
I totally see it. | ||
But, man, it's just... | ||
Because you still make great music. | ||
I know that's why you're still doing it. | ||
But I could see it. | ||
Give them the bad boy they want. | ||
Make a little noise. | ||
Get a little... | ||
You're kind of grizzled now. | ||
You know, you got the beard. | ||
So maybe the metamorphosis... | ||
unidentified
|
The metamorphosis has actually begun, perhaps, is what I'm saying. | |
Yeah, it has. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, I'm really... | |
I've always been a positive person. | ||
I've never... | ||
Yeah, I do the other side on stage. | ||
You know, I let that side of myself out up on stage. | ||
But... Yeah, I totally get it. | ||
I totally, and I see it too. | ||
Hey, by the way, what was that one performance? | ||
How recent was that performance? | ||
We had it on the screen a moment ago where you're in the InfoWars, the green one with the hexagon logo. | ||
That was in July. | ||
That was actually in Tel Aviv. | ||
That's incredible because you had the full band out there. | ||
Yeah. When was the last time you had a, what was that? | ||
Was that a five-piece band? | ||
It was four-piece, and that was, it was in July. | ||
That had to feel good. | ||
You looked classic. | ||
Listen, I was just a couple of months ago in South America. | ||
I play in front of thousands of people. | ||
It's awesome. | ||
I spend so much time in Latin America. | ||
It's too dangerous for me to go to Europe at this point. | ||
Eastern Europe's a different story. | ||
I'm still out there. | ||
I play in front of a lot of people. | ||
I bring it hard to the stage. | ||
It's absolutely incredible. | ||
And it's funny. | ||
I leave America, and I go to these other places, and they say to me, like, what the hell is happening in America to you? | ||
Like, why are these people saying these things to you? | ||
That I'm this racist, and I... | ||
So, thanks, America. | ||
No, America has your back. | ||
They want a bad boy. | ||
They might just get what they want. | ||
Michael Graves performing tonight, Liberty Tree Tavern, Elgin, Texas. | ||
He's coming up in San Antonio. | ||
Officialmichaelgraves.com. | ||
Follow him on X at Radio Deadly. | ||
It's always great to see a friend. | ||
Thanks, brother. | ||
And keep... | ||
Keep fighting the good fight. | ||
Keep performing. | ||
People love it. | ||
And we love it here, too. | ||
That does it for today's edition of the InfoWars War Room. | ||
We take a 21-hour break, and we will see you tomorrow. | ||
I want to make a massive announcement right now. | ||
And I'm so blown away by this. | ||
This is the most exciting thing, quote, supplement-wise, I've ever done in decades in my career, in my research. | ||
Okay? We've had the new Methylene Blue in, now available at TheAlexJonesStore.com for about a week, and I already had mine, and I'm like, yeah, I'm sure it's all USP, I'm sure it's great. | ||
I'm like, oh yeah, I'll remember to take mine, it was just another brand my doctor recommended. | ||
And then yesterday at about 3 o'clock, I'm watching them shoot B-roll for our new Methylene Blue that's from one of the top makers in the United States that supplies the big box stores that have it. | ||
And sell it for $10 more than we do. | ||
It's a big bottle, too. | ||
Ultra Methylene Blue. | ||
The highest grade strength USP. | ||
I take a dropper and put it in my iced tea. | ||
And I'm not a placebo guy. | ||
I'm like, okay, I'm taking Methylene Blue before I figure out. | ||
The one my doctor told me to get, I'm sure. | ||
We'll see if it's as good. | ||
15 minutes later, I feel my hair on my body standing up. | ||
And I feel actually an electric current through my fingers in my hands and running up my back. | ||
And I start, I'll be honest, I start itching. | ||
And I go take my shirt off and look in the mirror because I'm itching. | ||
And my skin wasn't like hives. | ||
It wasn't a rash. | ||
My skin turned red. | ||
Not bright red, but red. | ||
It was like glowing. | ||
I was like, what the? | ||
And Chase Guy was like, yeah. | ||
Yeah, he looks like a mad scientist. | ||
I've been taking a lot of it. | ||
His hair is like, ah. | ||
And I'm like, okay, okay. | ||
And then I just, I mean, I swear to God. | ||
I swear, okay? | ||
You don't have to swear to God. | ||
I'm just saying, I swear on my children, okay? | ||
It is just beyond spectacular. | ||
unidentified
|
I'm going to go. | |
Quite frankly, I didn't develop... | ||
Optimal Human, when Big League came on, was a big sponsor. | ||
And I told them the supplements I wanted from the companies I wanted. | ||
They went out and did what I wanted. | ||
People love them and they're incredible. | ||
The turmeric, the Shilajit, the Irish Seamoss, all of it. | ||
But they'd had this out for years and I thought, my green caps are great. | ||
And this other company I use is great because green superfoods are amazing. | ||
And then I finally took it. | ||
And Harrison Smith took it. | ||
And I was like, my God. | ||
And by then, we'd been selling it for four or five months and it was already a top seller. | ||
The problem is there's so many ingredients and it's so hard to source and it's so clean at high standards that it's sold out most of the time. | ||
We finally got a decent shipment of it in, but we never offered it for subscription. | ||
Because we just couldn't keep it. | ||
When you subscribe at TheAlexShowStore.com and then they keep it back for you so it never sells out. | ||
So go to TheAlexShowStore.com and get your optimal human and so many other incredible products today. | ||
