Viva Fry (6:12)
Medieval on these people. There's not got a free shot. All these networks lying about the people, the people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen. And where do people like that go to share the big lie? MAGA media I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. War ROOM here's your host, Stephen K. Band. It's Monday 10th March, Yervalor 2025. President Trump today geopolitically trying to stave off the kinetic part of the third World War team in Riyadh getting ready to sit down with the Russians about this Russian rapprochement. Canada last night chose a or yesterday chose a new leader who stoned down even harder. The Mexican president also yesterday throwing down hard about President Trump's it's not just the terrorist program. It is, it's much deeper. We're going to get into it right now about what the stakes are here and where we really stand. And we're going to address obviously this CR which is going to come to a head at least on the Republican House side with a vote tomorrow. President Trump, it's three or four directions or verticals, as we said. The main thing he's got to do in this first part of the, the second term is, number one, one of his priorities, or if you look at the whole three we've talked about, is to stop the kinetic part of the Third World War. Because if that continues on with the viciousness in Ukraine, with the viciousness you're seeing in Israel, with side combat coming out of the Houthis in the Red Sea and other places, it's going to spin out of control. It is going to spin out of control and we're going to have a situation that's going to be very tough to put back into the bottle. And President Trump understands that. That's why he's spending so much time with this and this is why he has people like, you know, Marco Ruby, I think, is deployed to Data rea. You have Steve Witkoff, his lead negotiator, who's all over this. They're putting their best minds on it and they're putting their best, their best people on it. Number two, it is the three pronged. Seal the border, take out the cartels, deport 10 million illegal alien invaders, a three prong process basically around our southern border that begins to get our sovereignty back and our territorial integrity back and to protect American citizens, particularly Hispanics and African American working class have been flooded with cheap labor. Okay, and you've got Tom Homan, you have Stephen Miller, Todd Bensman is deploying down there right now to give us a report. We understand the Stryker Brigade is like headed to El Paso, Texas right now. We have reports of CIA assets doing targeting. The Mexican president yesterday is pretty adamant about what she thinks the sovereignty of Mexico is. But there's a fight that is coming, just like in the first part of President Trump's first term in taking down the ISIS caliphate. And people forget how brutal that was, how he did it. And it was done in six months. What they told us, a generational activity. President Trump is going to do this to the Mexican drug and human trafficking cartels full stop. The third leg of that, and maybe the most complicated, is to get us out of this financial crisis that we're in. And they're in a threefold thing. A threefold part is, and I think this is the one area where the administration which I think is clicking on all cylinders and just doing a great job, is maybe not messaging to the degree they could message. And that is the mess that they were handed right now. If you look at the business press and the business meeting, all the questions get asked. President Trump is everything you have currently. It doesn't have a starting point that's based in reality. The best reality of this has been on the show with EJ and Tony about 10 days ago. And I will replay that in this first in the morning segment because I think we have to have a reset exactly where we are financially and economically upon which President Trump's policies are going to take place. The policies are threefold. Number one, it is to have a supply side tax cut and a organized effort in the cutting of this massive federal spending which is driving inflation to kind of get our growth back and to make unleash the animal spirits. Right. Number two is the deconstruction of the administrative state and massive deregulation of which the Doge guys are at the forefront right now. Number three is this tariff. But it's not just tariffs on tomatoes from Mexico. It is a rethinking of the geo economic model of the United States of America, to wit, that we're a premium market. And if you want access to this market, there's going to be a toll and that toll is going to work to the benefit of the American people. Number one, it's going to be used to drive high value added manufacturing jobs back here to the United States of America. A reassuring and the reshoring is working and I don't think being promoted in a enough organized way. It's kind of every couple of days announcement. It is historic. In the first 40 days of President Trump's administration. It's a trillion, almost a trillion dollars, folks. And this is not from private equity funds or the Saudi sovereign wealth fund or Masasan with SoftBank, all these guys that kind of come in and out and they may invest in companies, they may not. That's all great, great. I'm not a big believer in that type of foreign capital coming United States, but it does show a support for President Trump's economy and President Trump's business model for the country. But what's really special is when you have Apple who has made built their business around offshoring saying we're going to reshore to the tune of at least $500 billion. Right. Advanced manufacturing jobs. When you have Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp. The premier, I still believe even when the premier advanced chip design in the world say that they're going to put $100 billion over four years around Phoenix, Arizona to really build world class manufacturing. We see Honda and other car companies saying we're coming to Indiana. All these other red states, principally I count Michigan now as a red state or in process of becoming red. It's almost, I think it's 7 or $800 billion. You can actually point to today in 40 days. And these are people that have made decisions of pivoting here at the same time with the deconstruction administration. What Doge is doing, you have to take care of what are the bridge events. This show is we pride ourselves in showing process and critical path. How do you get there? How did President Trump get to the new golden age of America? How do you get to what we call the sunlit uplands? It's a grind and a process and you have to be realistic about that process. And we have to know exactly kind of where we're going on the journey. Even though the journey may have some zigs and zags, the CR is clearly a zig. That's okay, not the end of the world, but we have to have an adult conversation about exactly what it means and more importantly, where it's heading us. Because the only thing we're interested in is victory. The only thing we're interested in is getting to the sunlit uplands. The only thing this whole effort is for President Trump to return from a stolen election to restore this republic as one of the three greatest leaders this nation's ever had, along with General Washington and Abraham Lincoln. The sunlit uplands are ahead of us, but the hard work is also ahead of us all. Next in the War room.

I wonder if Real America's voice in my crack production team could do the following in Grayson, Mo. If you get Thomas Massey's because Thomas Massie look, Thomas Massie is not going to vote for the CR he's pretty adamant. I do believe that we have to make progress in this, that we have to somehow not shut down this government. And you know, I'm a big believer in shutting down the governments. But President Trump has got so many things balls he's juggling right now that are massively important. I don't think that because the Democrats are going to want to use that against him. But we have to get back to what we're trying to accomplish and who's trying to accomplish it. If you look at the economic part of this. So you got the geopolitics and what President Trump's doing with geopolitics. It's a hemispheric defense. It's really America first but it's not America alone and it's not America coming home and it's not America isolation. It's a quite brilliant logic of the founding generation and in particular Monroe and the people that came out and who are the tip these guys were the fighters in the Revolutionary War. Not the feel great officers like General Washington and others, but people like Hamilton, like Monroe, like John Marshall, the and they understood that we're not Europe, that we left Europe and they wanted to leave the old world behind. In doing that they came up with this Monroe Doctrine, this hemispheric defense and President Trump is reinstating that first with the Panama Canal. And of course Drudge's MacDaddy over the weekend which was pulled from a Newsweek article which is quite brilliant is about the CCP turning the Caribbean into a into a PLA Navy lake like Russia tried at the Cuban missile crisis. And the Chinese been very effective on this with the embassies and ports and money and all of it. So one of the reasons Trump's going to Panama to seize the Panama Canal and seal that off and cut off the Chinese navy from access to the Caribbean all the way to Greenland, right to Fort the thrust our defense out into the North Atlantic to cut off the Russian navy, the submarine forces on the Pacific same the three island chain to make that that what I call the Pacific desert. And some of my colleagues at the committee and President Danger brilliantly say no it's the American heartland. I'll get more of that later. But then you from medically sealed the United States of America maybe even throw up an iron dome program. This is one of the reasons the Canadians, which, by the way, were dominion, I think, until 1982, the logic of the 21st century will make it quite clear that some sort of partnership statehood or whatever has a compelling logic to it when you look at the Arctic, because you're going to lose your sovereignty and you're going to lose your territorial integrity from the north. President Trump sees this just like President Trump understands to stop the chemical warfare attack, the second Opium War by the Chinese Communist Party, you have to take out the distributors and he's going to take out the cartels, and he's going to do it violently. He's going to cut their money off, going to treat him like a terrorist organization, he's going to seize assets, but eventually he is going to drop a physical hammer on them to make sure they're eradicated and they don't come back. That is, you're not sending those strikers down to El Paso, Texas for a show of force economically. Let's go back to it. It's a 3 the tax cut, which is this whole thing of reconciliation. And this is one of the reasons they got. Took the Ralph the ball in the cr, which we preached the gospel of this back in December and in January had to focus on this so then we wouldn't be in a situation where we're coming up against the clock. A forcing function, right. And this time a forcing function for the Democrats to basically fund the rest of this year. And what Thomas Massie saying is correct. We have to go forward, unfortunately, I think, with the CR as clean as possible and with the assumption, one big assumption, that the Doge, because this is the, this is the, this is the reality of it. And the New York Times did a really good job of laying out where Doge had done force reductions and cost cutting. Okay? And it's kind of laid out in pretty much detail, you can see. But the reality is we are going to prove Biden's budget numbers. We are going to have basically a $2 trillion deficit for this fiscal year. And we are going to, at least temporarily. Temporarily or some interim period, actually finance not just future Doge cuts where they're finding. They're finding anomalies. They're finding things either waste, fraud and abuse, overstaffing, et cetera, that. But we're going to do the ones they've already found. Now, that's supposedly going to be taken care of on either one of two methodologies, either impoundment by the executive branch at some time in the future before September 30th for this fiscal year or it's going to take place in some sort of rescission, maybe in the Senate, who knows. But Rand Paul already laid out a $500 billion package that would come in hundred billion dollar tranches. The bottom line is to always remember Secretary Treasury Bessant in the President's joint plan is a supply side tax cut that gets growth above 3% to maybe three and a half, potentially 4%. Because in that growth with the tax structure you even have today, you start to generate more tax revenue. You can pay down and not have as big a deficit. And the target in the deficit is essentially from 6.5% of GDP to three and a half percent. They're not saying that you can get and eradicate this the deficit immediately or even. I think Russ Vogt has a plan to get to a balanced budget in 10 years. And the way you do that is incrementally and you get the 3.5% in a couple of years and then you manage down from there. That's logical. I would clearly like to have it come quicker and I think it can come quicker. But that is a plan and that's a plan they're working towards. Towards that plan you have to have. You have to stop this insane federal spending. Now how do you do that? There's two ways. Number one, there is certainly waste, fraud and abuse. Is it a trillion dollars that's been reported? No, I do not think it's. I would love to have it a trillion dollars. It would be quite painless to do it that way. I'm also an adult that's gone through this budget. Is there waste, fraud and abuse? Absolutely. Are there things are popping up people didn't know about? Absolutely. Do we have to. Are we going to pay for that by the CR at least temporarily? Absolutely. That's just the way it falls, folks. So embrace it. Can it be unwound? Absolutely. Is it the thing we have to hit first? Absolutely. But then it's going to come and it's going to come and now they're promising us and this is Johnson because remember in the Constitution it's got to come out of the House. Both all the revenue suggestions coming from Jason Smith and his committee and the cuts. And so what Johnson's promising. Now here's what you're buying into. I just want to make sure everybody understands it that you're buying into a situation where we are doing this interim basis as much as people hate it. But there are two things going to happen. Number one, that the DOGE cuts that are already been identified in this fiscal year 25, which ends on September 30, that they will somehow on a commitment from the administration be dealt with, number one. Number two, that in these appropriations hearings this summer. And folks, this may strike a raw nerve because you've done this exercise before that we're going to sit through and they're going to have programmatic cuts because in reality, to actually get this spending under control, I have preached it's got to be programs and billets. Billets mean job, you know, organization charts that go away. So it's not, it doesn't, it's not matter of the people's performance, doesn't matter if they're good, bad, indifferent, they show up to work, they don't show up to work. All that's got to be dealt with with the Doge aspects. But the real cuts, the significant cuts, the painful cuts, because it's not going to be easy and somebody's going to have to take some political pain. The cuts. And this is why I say, and this is why I was so adamant about Elon having to cross the Potomac, because you're not going to have a serious conversation until we have a conversation about the Defense Department. And particularly since President Trump has laid out a hemispheric defense that totally reorganizes the geostrategy of the United States, the grand strategy and essentially says the post war international rules based order had to spread all over the rim of the Eurasian landmass and a containment strategy of the Soviet Union. Now maybe in the 21st century, particularly with the Russian rapprochement, maybe we don't have to do it the scale that we had to do it before. And therefore the defense budget can be rejiggered, restructured, repo, that's and we can pull finally out of centcom. Maybe not totally, but not with this obsession. And this is why Tucker and Kurt Mills and other very smart people and Bridge Colby, the big fight over Bridge Colby was to say, hey, maybe we don't get put into pulled into another Middle east war that we've been at for 20 years. And maybe we don't get pulled into a war with Persia, a land war, maybe we can do it other ways. The Persian head dictator Mullah rejected President Trump. They say I haven't gotten a letter, don't want to read a letter. Who's Trump? Well, he's about to know quite shortly who President Trump is in that geopolitical restructuring. And it's not America alone. It's not America isolationists. It's America smart and America first. And President Trump has thought this through at a very deep level. You can see that playing out with all his critics snapping at his heels. But the economic part there, you're going to have to thread the needle and it's only going to come the supply side tax cut. It's about getting US growth that gets you growth. That kind of even with the exact same tax structure you have starts to generate more revenues. Number one, Doge the waste, fraud and abuse cuts at least one layer at the top or the easiest that has to be done. Now the second is the harder appropriations process that you're going to have to get in there and here's and cut. And the third is the repurposing and looking at tariffs as an external revenue service that if it can't drive external revenues it brings high value added manufacturing jobs from the greatest companies in the world to the United States of America where they employ people called American citizens in our homeland and generate tax revenue in our homeland. That three aspects of it coupled with the geopolitics is the plan. The only question is how do we execute that will take us to the sunlit uplands. How do we execute this and who executes it all?

Have you heard that before? History is a process. We're living in history. You know, the decades in which nothing happens and there weeks and decades happen. That's what you're living right now. You're also living in the Chinese curse. May you live in interesting times. But you, this audience, are an army of the awakened. As I've said, in the long run of history, when they think back of this era, like with General Washington and President Lincoln run the Civil War, they're not going to remember Steve Bannon or Tucker Carlson or Sean Hann or Gavin Newsom or, you know, Pritzker or you know, Mark Cuban, Elon Musk. They're going to remember two things. This is going to be the age of Trump and they're going to remember Trump and they're going to remember maga, a populist nationalist movement that kind of came after years simmering malcontent discontent of what was going on. That's what they're going to remember. And that is why you're so important in this, in this historical process. But in any process you have statics and dynamics and you have to force things. It's just not going to happen. Particularly when you have an established order like we've allowed this nation to ossify in a series of kind of oligarchic, whether it's the lords of easy money on Wall street, the corporatists or the oligarchs in Silicon Valley. That's just reality. That is what Trump essentially and you have been fighting against, whether that's been represented by Mitch McConnell or Nancy Pelosi or anybody in between. And you've seen this now that that is why the Fox News and the Murdochs and the Republican Party have been in controlled opposition for decades. After decades. After decades. We didn't get here because there was a fight going. There wasn't a fight. It was phony like pro wrestling. And now we're in a fight because now you're talking about money and power and it's going to be a fight and there's no compromise. There's just not. There's nothing to compromise about. If you compromise, it means you're losing. So you can't compromise. Compromise is always the easy way, too. You can't if you're going to compromise, your if we had compromised at any step of the way, we would not be here. We can see the sunlit uplands. You can see how this thing gets sorted. It's going to be it's going to be massively difficult. It's going to take everybody's time and energy. We're not going to win them all. Hey, we ain't going to win tomorrow. When the CR passes that not a win. That's a tactical retreat to get to a better place. But let's call it what it is. Don't. Don't send me. Don't put it by saying, oh, these are huge wins. No, this is because of incompetent and cowardly House leadership. Just is. And to do what we need to do by September 30th, there's a ton of hard work and a lot of pain that's going to come. Just remember, you're not going. Inflation is driven by this massive federal spending. We're not going to stop that until you stop said federal spending to cut it back dramatically. There's two ways to do it, Doge and I wish those guys all the luck in the world. I've talked about this deconstruction of the administrative state. Guys have tried to do it. We've been thwarted by the Republican establishment every step of the way. Couldn't overcome it. This is why it's so important. But that's only part of the solution. The other is you're going to have to get into those appropriations, you have to have huge fights and we're going to have to make tough calls and you're going to get tons of criticism. In cutting defense, in cutting social programs, in smartly cutting Medicaid smartly. What did President Trump say yesterday? Say Thursday, with a scalpel, not an ax. And you can do that. Some programs you have to take up ax to a hatchet, I think, as he called it, to get to six and a half, from six and a half percent of GDP as deficits, which we're addicted to. We're addicted to federal spending. Look at the. Look at the tv, look at news, look at the papers. Look at the protests, the uproar. We're addicted to federal spending. Addicted needs to be an intervention. Interventions are tough. A real intervention. The programmatically says we're not going to do this anymore. It's not that we found waste or fraud or abuse. No, this part, boom. Yes, we found the waste, fraud, we took that. But this, we're not going to do that. We're not going to do that. That's gone boom out. All the billets associated were gone. In the New York Times piece that lists out everything that's been done. The buried lead down there is coming from the Washington Post where President Trump says he intends to cut 30 to 40% of the federal government. Now, it's ill to find that workforce or programs, but hey, even if it was workforce, Come on, baby, let's go. Let's roll. Then you have to do that in a manner that's serious and not there to humiliate people. But to say, hey, we're not going to do this anymore, that is gone. And if it needs to be passed through legislation or if the courts need to back us up, we're going to have compelling cases in each of the week. Either win on votes or we can win in the courts to make it permanent. They're all over President Trump. And there's tariffs. The tariffs, you know, the tariffs. And I think. And I understand for the. How legally they have to do it with emergencies. And it's fentanyl and all that. I got it. And fentanyl is horrible in the second chemical war. But there's something also deeper, and that is the. The economic relationship with our trading partners, the Chinese Communist Party being the biggest. And we have to face that. The other two being Mexico and Canada, our neighbors on this. Our neighbors here for this, what we call it, hemispheric defense. I gotta. And there's been. There are huge political changes going on in those countries even as we speak. And to get to the sunlit uplands, right, particularly with Canada, it's been one of our best allies. And the valor and courage of the Canadian men and women that have served have been unbelievable. And as allies to the United States, and I mean, people that really punch way above their weight class, they're extraordinary people, and it's an extraordinary dominion. Let's play. And by the way, they're in an uproar now as Trudeau passes the baton. Let's play Canada. Then we'll play a cut from Mexico. I've got two. I've got Viva Fry for Canada. And our own Oscar Blue Ramirez will join us from Mexico City. Let's go ahead and let it rip.
