In fairness to a lot of Democrats, they are doing that. They use the weekend, this short recess. They'll use the next recess to do more of that. They are holding town hall meetings and shaming Republicans for not holding more of them. And they've elevated, they've done a lot of what Indivisible and other protest groups have wanted elevated, people who are being affected by the layoffs. Their problem has been, even when they win in court, as Al's interview with Jayapal was saying, the administration plows ahead anyway. And they've elevated the resistance, people like Al Green and Bernie Standards for doing big flashy protests which didn't win anything. When they win in court, they're reversing some Trump policies, but not all of them. And these attorneys and attorneys general we're talking about have had a frequent experience now of getting a victory, getting courts to include the Supreme Court to say what Trump is doing is illegal and the administration to move ahead on it anyway. In USAID to destroy documents despite and say so in an email to staff, which usually is not the, the best way to get away with that. How does a party inspire the base when even if it wins, the losers in the situation keep grinding ahead and don't care what happened in court? That is a tough problem for them. I don't know, to give them some credit again, I don't know how anyone would solve that. If you declare victory and the other team advances on the board anyway. That has happened again and again in the last two months. To Democrats.

This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. Christians, I 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.
Al Green
And where do people like that go.
Stephen K. Bannon
To share the big lie?

MAGA MEDIA I wish in my soul.
Stephen K. Bannon
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. Banner.
Stephen K. Bannon
Wednesday 12th March in the year of our Lord 2025. Action today, lots of signal. The President's going to welcome the Irish leader that was at the tae shock. I think I got my Celtic right there. I don't know. War room chat Tell me I'm never a big name on this because all the Irish politicians are the worst in the world of selling out their countrymen and selling out Irish nationalism because they're the most globalists. They are bought, paid for and owned by the party of Davos. So it's always more performative. But there is an amazing young man coming today. I think he spent 500 days in prison for would not bend a knee, taught at a Christian school in Ireland in the Republic, and would not bend to dei, would not bend to pronouns, any of it. And they, they throw him in prison, an Irish prison. He's going to the White House today. And we're trying to get whether it's Terry Schilling or Brandon Shoulder or somebody to help track him down, the White House people track him down, hopefully have him on in the afternoon show. That's all going. Brian Glenn's going to be in the Oval in about 10:30, 10:45. So we've reorganized the show this morning a little bit because we want to catch President Trump. These press availabilities during these bilats or when he signed the executive orders. And now that real America's voice is in the pool. And as you can tell, Brian is always comes loaded for bear and has great questions and often gets called on. And their questions that kind of drive the narrative of the morning. We will cover that. But there's so much of what's really happening. The big event is the Senate. I think Trump called their bluff and Johnson, you know, hat tip, a very Trumpian move, I assume. And I think, and I hear that President Trump had a little bit to do with that strategy. Vote and go home. Don't be around for any negotiation because there's not going to be any negotiations. You either want this or you don't in the Senate. And we put that story up of the lead from the morning. Actually, we had a better, a much better, I had a much better photo up on Getter with that big, beautiful picture. The Senate is in a very difficult, is a very difficult situation. There are. Every Democrat wants to vote against this, but they're afraid, just like that's the great Dave Weigel that opened the show on Morning Joe this morning. From semaphore. From semaphore. And, and he laid it out. See, here's, here's what's happening. Okay, the county inside baseball, if you remember. Let's go back to 2021. We had a president that was on a roll and had done geopolitical tax cuts and deregulation, deconstruct at least the Beginning of the administrative state. Yes. Think it was two or three deregulations to everyone. By the way, when you get that right, the correct hill thing is on my getter. You can put it up again. And we were. And we were shattered. We were shattered when the election of which he got 74 million votes. Always remember that President Trump got 11, 10 and a half million more votes in 2020, as he did in 2016. Think about that. That is almost impossible to do. It's just incredible. And of course, the fake votes of Biden, which we've never seen again, they gave what, 81 those phantom votes. They stole the election. Now we realize now in the fullness of time, that it was God's plan, it was divine providence, that that would be stolen. Why? Because it helped in the awakening of this country. President Trump's courage, his hero's journey to start back with nothing, understanding what they were prepared to do to him, you know, put him in prison, to bankrupt him, all of it. The hero's journey to come back. And you remember those dark days, for those of you that were with us, the most battle hardened that had come through the pandemic and come through the big steel, the most battle hardened of our troops here, those dark days of January and February and March before he went to cpac, before the schlapps had him. And then, you know, even into that, the spring of that year when Fox would never. He was never on Fox, never shut out. Wall Street Journal, everybody, you have to have a rally point. This show was not the only one, but a prominent one as a rally. Just like you take a defeat in, in the military and you got, you retreat. People are sometimes when they just drop their weapons and just run, they drop their weapons around. You got to stick the guidon in somewhere. You got to get a bunch of guys around the guidon and get the guns up and say, you know, get the bugle up and say, no, we're going to hold right here. Everybody come around, we'll get reorganized. They're doing that now with this shattering defeat that President Trump gave him in November. They're trying to do that now. This is what politics about. This is the process. What they're doing is pretty obvious what they're doing. This is what, this is why Rachel Maddow came back for 100 days. They figure in 100 days they will have that rally point. As you know, we watch this, the msnbc and we take it seriously, because information warfare, that's why we break down the New York Times, why we Break down the Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal and msnbc, the people, the ones that matter in the information war. They're trying to use Rachel Maddow as a rally point. If you watch Rachel Maddow every night, she's got the pom poms up and it's kind of you go, girl. She's trying. I mean, if you watch that, you're kind of seeing an alternative reality. She's got the screen and she'll have six things on the screen at one time. It'll be all these rallies now, maybe 50 people, but it looks like it's thousands. This is Seattle, this is Kansas City. This is bing, bing, bing. It's government workers and it's, you know, the embeds, as Natalie Winters calls them. And here we got legal. And every time they're dropping a suit, she's got Weissman and these guys on this, just like Russiagate. And she's got shifty shift on. Right, Shifty shift. And Claire McCaskill, the whole crew, they're all back, the gang's back and they're, you know, they've got every lawsuit. They're going in, you know, on, on Freedom of Information act, on Doge. And Elon Musk is going to have to put out everything he's finding. Right? Of course, we have the next day, Mike Davis and you know, the Bill McGinley's of the world, smart people come on here and deconstruct and tell you why it's nonsense and it's only. Why it's only going to one crazy federal judge. He had Laura Loomer on last night about the deportations up at the, you know, the terrorists, the terrorist sympathizers here on student visas. They're going home. President Trump's cutting off the money and sending them home. But this is a process. You have to understand the process. It's the process of the resistance. And this is why it was so powerful. Dave Weigel has been around forever. He actually was the guy covering when this whole thing kind of first started with the Tea Party. He was the guy kind of assigned to cover Andrew Breitbart. The reason I got to know him is that he was everywhere. Andrew Breitbart was. In fact, they had this very famous thing at the first Tea Party, the first Tea Party convention. The first Tea Party convention in Nashville, Tennessee. And Dave Weigel was there when the World Net Daily folks and Andrew had kind of had a, a throwdown about the birther issue. Andrew was not a big name in the birther issue. Later he got interested when Sheriff Joe and other people came with more information. But originally he was, he said, don't fall for that in that trap. They'll call you racist if you do that. And Andrew's pretty adamant about it. But Dave Weigel was the guy cut the little microphone. He's one of these guys, Bob Costa, Dave Weigel, Jeremy Peters, all these people you see today much more prominently. Same with Cassie Hunt. All these people started 10, 12, 14 years ago as little just grundoons chasing people who were completely marginal. Right. Even Andrew was outside the mainstream. He became a leader, made himself a leader because of his force of personality and his understanding of information warfare that media is everything. Andrew was another McLuhan esque figure that understood what the professor, the great thinker of communication strategy, Marshall McLuhan had actually talked about evolutionary biology in mass communications and mass media and the importance of that. The dominant, the almost like an apex predator in world history. Tehar de Chardin, Marshall McLuhan, Andrew Breitbart got that viscerally. Donald Trump is the exact same. Trump's exactly in the same school of thought, fully understands it. That's why so many of the moves you see of President Trump, you don't quite understand. They're only revealed later. And I was saying this on things like that, he's always right. You may disagree at the beginning, but you realize later he's always right. What Weigel is saying is so important. He's saying Morning Joe. You should have seen the long faces. He goes, yeah, I see the resistance. You got guys out there. I see the embeds. You got employees that are thing, you got legal, you have, you know, politicians. Hakeem Jeffries has kind of gone into the witness protection program. But I see what you're trying to do. And they got, you know, they've got Raskin and they got some guys, Bernie Sanders out getting big crowds now, you know, talking his nonsense. Because everything with him is a pillow fight. He's. He should get a my pillow promo code. He'd be Mike Lindell. He'd be the biggest. He'd be the biggest, the biggest winner. He'd get a promo code because everything with him is a pillow fight. It's performative. But Weigel just said it doesn't matter. Trump doesn't play by these rules. It's all gas and no break. Pedal is down, hammer is down. Why would you say, well, they go into credit. Get this and get these rules. They don't boom, boom, boom. It's like a. Howitzer Trump is relentless and he's doing it simultaneously. Look at yesterday you have this really the Ukrainians agreed in a day. Because Trump's just saying I'm tired of the nonsense, I'm tired of the killing. We're going to get a deal done here. And he stayed away from the security guarantee. So we're not doing, I'm falling in that trap. We're going to send more aid now, we're going to send some more military aid, give him some more intelligence to get to a deal. And he's also on the terrorist, the geo economic part of it, the tariffs, he's going back and forth. And Wall street, you know, it's open up, down again. Gold I think is 2917. Market was down 100 when we started. It's going to fluctuate. It's going to go up, it's going to go down. He's got a plan and he's executing on the plan. The reason that it was providential. They stole it. You had the gap. And Trump was able to think and reflect and read and listen and come back like something this country's never seen. More powerful even than Lincoln and trying to pull it together in the Civil War. Particularly in those first horrible dark years when the Confederacy would just run in the tables militarily in Washington. Remember all these years when history glasses over, they're all disruptors. They're massively disruptive. At the time, Washington, leading a military endeavor against a imperial power that controlled the country was prepared to control the world. Lincoln, as disruptive as you can get, hated at the time. Donald J. Trump, Dave Weigel, nailed it. All gas, no break. You don't go out and buy a life jacket when the boat is already sinking. And you don't buy gold when the economy has already collapsed. Clearly others are heeding this advice as gold hit an all time high the first part of 2025 multiple times. It's not too late for you.

Okay, so Weigel, this is Trump's movement and it's in every area. He's, he's unrelenting right now and they're not used to that later today. This is an example. Later today he sent half of the, the Department of Education folks home last night. And today, supposedly an executive order is going to shut the whole thing down. How many Republicans have talked for this and run on this? How many times in primaries for either people running for the Senate or the House or in generals or, you know, in presidentials, have you heard over and over again, it's just a talking point. It's just a talking point. This is the difference in Trump, this is the difference in the MAGA movement. Action, action, action. Use your agency. We're here for a limited amount of time. It's urgent. It has to be urgent. That's what Trump is, it's urgency. And Weigel's sitting right there and he's seen it all. He's been around for over a decade. He sees that they're not prepared for this. They've gotten lazy. They controlled the institutions and now the institutions have been taken from them. And yes, we are purging the institutions. This is why all my differences with Elon Musk and they're quite deep. The Doge as the shock troops is brilliant. I want to get to the fact of where we actually stand with the money. But just the shock troop element of it is brilliant and it's traumatized them. They can't grasp it. And if they do grasp it, it all revolves around him, which is perfect. Then everybody else can get in and do this stuff. This is the exact equivalent of having Matt Gaetz and not having Matt Gaetz step down. Matt Gaetz is attorney General. We were going to get him across. You knew that we would do it. But even not, he just takes all the incoming. That's kind of the heat shield nature of Musk in the Doge process because they're completely, they're completely, they have a brain freeze. They're traumatized, they can't react. Weigel just lays it out right there brutally on Morning Joe. And hey, you know what? Nobody talked about it. They didn't go back to first off to say that would Be so interesting. You'd have a thousand questions and you say, dave, can you stay through the break? We want to talk to you. No, they want to get out of that segment as quickly as possible because they know what they doing. And no, it's not working. They got the best of the best. They got Rachel Maddow every night. And I know you're not going to watch it, but we do, for the reason is we see what she's doing every night. It's a totally alternative reality. It's even an alternative reality for MSNBC because you got Nicole Wallace and you have Tim Miller. You have all these guys on there, and they're kind of long faces that got knitted brows and worried. Not Rachel. She's for 100 days, you know, they're paying her $25 million. That gal is bringing it every night. It's rah, rah. We're here, we're throughout the country. We're in legal, we're going to court. We're doing this. We're winning. We're getting boom, boom. She's trying to rally him. She stuck the guide on in and said, rally around me. We got this. We got to get a counter fire. Let's go fix Bayone. Dave Whitehood just said, in normal times that would work. That's why Trump's not normal. Just shattered the mold. He's relentless. White was says, hey, the problem is, is that Trump, they don't care. They're moving forward. Because if you move forward, victories up ahead this afternoon, I think, I hope he's going to sign a just a and we'll be there live. Brian Glenn, by the way, I believe that's why Brian didn't open the show. Brian's actually going to be in the Oval as one of the pools. I think he's in line right now being one of the pool reporters. This morning, we'll go to that live with the Irish leader and President Trump. I'm sure he's going to talk. I'm sure he's going to be asked about tariffs. He's going to talk about that as we were invited and really want to thank the president and the great communication staff. They have Tyler and Steven Chung and, you know, Caroline and Susie Walsh running everything to have us over for the business roundtable, which I don't think think was approved. That's why we had the camera there kind of, you know, we had a handheld and I heard the president and he's not backing off. Think of what he did was he has the business leaders there. And he's sitting there. He's just going through tariffs. My tariff plan is going to work. Here's what I'm going to do. Their heads are blowing up, right? Their stocks are down for a day. Big deal. Big deal. He's got a deeper plan. And you're seeing capital investment coming back. You know, Gavin Newsom did this podcast with Gavin Newsom. He says, well, wasn't this all set up? All the trillions of dollars spent and you know, public private partnerships of Joe Biden. I go, no, because they waited till Trump got back and they just announced it. They could announce this anytime. They announced it. Apple, boom. They wouldn't have done it if Kamala. They weren't coming back because Biden in the globalists are not going to break the global supply chains. Trump is. That's what the manufacturing jobs are coming back. That's 0.1 of the tariffs to bring manufacturing jobs back to the United States and re industrialize. We call it reshoring. You're going to see all kind of fancy terms. It's bringing factories back here, bringing capital capital that invest in capital equipment was Dave Brat, remember Dave Bratt comes on, he talks about capital. What he means is invested capital equipment that the Chinese. This is what they do with your money. Your pension fund is not their money. It's your money. Pension fund money taken through the guys like Ray Dalia and Bridgewater. Ray Dalia, that brother's become a convert. He's on cnbc. He's got a warning of what I've told you about. We're going to try to play it before the president gets on. He's saying what the storm clouds on the horizon is the debt. And not just that, a failed treasury auction. We're bringing so much to market. We might not be able to sell it now. We'll end up buying it. But I'll be that reaction will jack interest rates and will start to send tremors through the system. We're on the precipice. The only thing I think comms hasn't done this. I keep saying this is why I have EJ on. I don't think they've done a great narrative setting, framing of how bad it was and was given to President Trump. It's beyond awful. This is one of the reasons I'm so adamant about where are the cuts both from Doge and in here. Where are they? Right, where are they? Because they're going to have to come. Because as I've told you, the markets had the global capital markets have A vote here. We haven't had this. And since we went off the gold standard, even in the financial crisis, because they bailed it out so quickly in Nixon, the gold standard, that's when the global capital markets got on us. And I think we made a terrible decision. But the decision, Nixon and those guys, after thinking about it, made it over a weekend. And Nixon wasn't really a business guy or much less a financial guy. And John Connally, his Secretary of treasury, certainly wasn't. It is. The resistance is not working because Trump will not accept it as a resistance. It's like when Brexit happened, when the British government came over, they looked at Brexit, that heroic, the heroic return of sovereignty of Nigel Farage as a problem to be solved, not an opportunity to be grabbed. Trump is seeing the problems and he has identified the opportunities and he's grabbing. He's driving, he's driving, he's driving. If everything goes according to plan today, the important thing is not the Irish guy coming. That's just performative because the Irish have already sold out their people and sold out, I think the Irish throughout the world by being the most craven World Economic Forum Davos crowd pathetic. Even the guys that try to be, you know, not as pathetic as the core leadership or quasi pathetic. The core things happen on. The happening up on Capitol Hill are monumental. Number one, it's the Senate and President Trump, I think box him in. As I said, call people's bluff. Johnson called the bluff yesterday and this is why the House Freedom Caucus, who hates this, this audience hates it, I understand. For a larger goal, for a larger goal to hate it. And now he's got the Senate there. They had a lunch yesterday and went through the strategy and they came in there and they were kind of blank stares. They got two choices, right? They can either vote for this and give Trump, let Trump fight for another day and keep the government not have a governmental shutdown fiasco because they can't see where they score political points, because they can't see how to get out of it. Or they shut it down and they're afraid that just empowers Trump and Elon Musk and the other guys in the cabinets to say, okay, all these people are not, are not essential. You got, you go non essential, essential. We're going to get rid of all the non essentials. He's given them a terrible choice. And if they vote and they get the eight votes, they knew the Democratic side, Fetterman already said he's in. It's going to be a Monumental win for President Trump. One of the biggest wins he's ever gotten on Capitol Hill. And the cuts aren't made. And look, they threw some stuff in. Breitbart, Bender, John Bender, the best. You read Breitbart, you got Matt Boyle, you got Bender, you get other people are there. Great Martel, but Bender's exceptional. You want to talk immigration and going through the phony plans and the visa plans, everything. Bender is the best. Guess what, folks, we took 50,000 Afghan refugees. I'm just not into that. I realize the vets and things, you got to draw a line. You got to make tough decisions. I know there's tough calls. Unfortunately, they're tough calls. The number should be zero. Get stuck in there. The two gutless to talk about it or go on tv. Hey, here's what we're going to do because I understand there'll be an uproar. Vendors are pointing 50,000. Now, Eli tells me they wanted more. What their fight was to get out 20, 25,000. 50,000 more. Some other number. A massive win. The other win today, a massive win. If President Trump signs the executive order dissolving the Department of Education or dissolving part of it. Programmatically, this is where it gets to be huge, because these cuts are going to have to come programmatically. You're taking out an entire cabinet of programs. This is where real cuts take place. Now, Department of Education is not huge, but it's symbolic of what he's prepared to do. And particularly, just think about in your own life, how many times have you seen a brochure from somebody? Have you written them a $10 check or a $50 check? And one of their punches, one of their lists, we're going to get rid of the Department of Education. It's never happened, ever. And they don't even try to do it. Trump, hey, get rid of them, Fire half of them, send them home, Boom. I'll get rid of the other half. It's relentless, and they can't handle relentless. They've never seen it. They've never been able to. They've never had to deal with this, and they can't deal with it. It's breaking their spirit. And if you break their spirit, you break them. And this is where we're getting close to breaking their spirit. That everything that Rachel Maddow has done is not meaningful. It doesn't amount to anything. It's not. They don't rally around it because their spirit is broken. I've been telling you about a very serious threat to Your home equity home title fraud.

So we're going to stay maybe at 10:45 they're going to be ready. So we're playing this by ear and we're going to call some audibles today because we want to get as much of the President as possible. The more we get the President in these moments where he's basically making press availabilities but he's kind of thinking out loud. It's very important. Number one, it's good for the historical record. You're living massive history right now. You're seeing it happen. It would be like being in the field command with Washington or be like with your John Hay, the young secretary sitting there with Lincoln and sitting in the meetings. This is exactly what you're saying. He's putting it all out there. This is populism. He's inviting you in and he's thinking out loud about what he's going to do. He's speaking over the heads of the media, by the way, speaking to you in the world. That's what's so important to get these. That's why I'm so proud of what real America's voice has done. Proud of Brian Glenn, the entire team. And they're inviting us in. Why? They understand that we are giving a totally different coverage than anybody else that we're able to frame this. And then you see it and then you think about it and mull over it. And then the next day, and you can all the madness because, remember, it's all a swirl. And the media right now and the meltdown is, you know, last night's tariffs. It's tariffs. He's a madman. He's insane. There's a method to the madness. There's a method to the madness. Ukraine has agreed to everything that he wanted in order to get this done. And now he's got Witkoff in Moscow. He's going to bring the Russian peace. And the Russian part in Ukraine is just one tiny part for these other guys. It's the world. We're going to show you why the quiet part is being spoken out loud. David Weigel did it this morning on Morning Joe. There's actually even a better, not a better piece, as good a piece if we have time this morning or Saturday. I'll play it where he talks about the CR and he talks about what you did and we did in the House Freedom Caucus and people who hate these, why we went along with it because of the impoundments and the rescissions and White goes up front and these people are like sitting there like he's speaking, you know, Martian. But you're in the middle of this in a driving force. I'll play the Ray Dalio if I have time. I tell you what I want to do. First of all, Birchgold, what you're about to hear from Ray Dalio is what we've been preaching here for the last couple years. When you start amounting this amount of debt, the law of large numbers, all of a sudden it starts to spin out of control. This is why it's going to be quite painful. What happens this summer in the appropriations, when the Senate, I think, folds to President Trump today, or if they don't, fine, then we get on with it right now. And I think President Trump triples down on deconstructing the administrative state. But this appropriations process and the hard decisions that have to be made on defense, on Medicaid, on other social programs, tough, tough, tough decisions, because all the easy decisions are a decade or so in back of us. All you have left now is hard decisions. Thank God the MAGA movement exists and Ray Dalio sending up a flare that. And I keep talking about a sovereign debt crisis, a sovereign debt crisis that it's approaching in Europe. And this is why all the happy talk. They're going to do $800 billion in defense and France is going to do this. And England's going to send these divisions. It's all f. Fantasy. It's all fantasy. The bond market's ready to. The global capital markets are ready to turf them out. But as I've told you, we are not immune to that. And the bond market has turfed out more governments than howitzers. You have to be very conscious of that. And this only has happened a few times in American history. But right now, we're so far advanced and so irresponsible. The political class is so irresponsible. It's the reason they hate Trump. The adult has kind of come in. He's brought you. This is why out of the room, out of the deal. Boom, you're in the room and you're, you're at the head of the table. And Ray Dalio kind of paints a picture of a essentially failed treasury auction. Basically the global capital market saying it's too much, you have to sell too much every year.

We're also got, we're going to go to Wisconsin, I hope, before that. But let me, I want to play the Ray Dalio part. Let's play Ray Dalio on, on his fears about debt. Remember, Ray Dalio is no friend of the war room and quite frankly he's played footsie with the Chinese Communist Party for decades. I think he's having an awakening. Let's go ahead and hear it.
Brian Glenn
I think the first thing is the debt issue. We have a very severe supply demand problem. So we think there's debt and some people think, oh, we'll handle it because we've handled it so far. I don't think they understand the mechanics of debt. By the way, I've written the draft of a book that anybody can see on social media, particularly LinkedIn that goes through the mechanics of the debt. But there's a supply demand problem. So that they have to sell a quantity of debt that the world is not going to want to buy. And that's a set of circumstances that is imminent. Okay, that's paramount importance. Then we're going to have to deal. The deficit must go from what will be projected now to be about 7.2% of GDP to about 3% of GDP. Otherwise there will be a supply demand problem. Okay, that's a big deal. You are going to see shocking developments in terms of how that's going to be dealt with. Things that may not have happened in our lifetimes but things that have happened throughout history. So that's an immediate consideration. Interest rate.
Al Green
What do you mean austerity like that?
Brian Glenn
There are. There are many. What do you do when you don't have an adequate supply demand balance? There may be restructurings of debt. There may be exerting pressures on countries to own the debt to buy the debt, political pressures on countries. There may be cutting the payments of to some creditor countries off for political reasons and so on. So there may be monetizations of debt. If you look at history and see the repeating of what do countries do when they're in this kind of situation? There are lessons from history that repeat. And so just as we're seeing political and geopolitical shifts that seem, seem unimaginable to a lot of people, to most people, if you just look at history, you'll see these things repeating over and over again. So you will be surprised, we will be surprised by some of the developments that will seem equally shocking as those developments that we've seen. So when I look at it, I think that these are of paramount importance. Then we're going to deal with the Internet.
Stephen K. Bannon
Remember, I've always said you have these three lines of work for President Trump. You have the stopping the kinetic part of the Third World War here. You've got the, you've got sealing the border, taking care of the cartels and deportation of 10 million illegal alien invaders, which we now know is going to cost us at least 170 million bucks. But that middle to get it right. Ray Dalio, folks, if you ever wanted to hear a chilling statement, I'm going to play that one to the sprockets. Come off it. And we're actually going to try to get Ray Dalio on the show. That's how important that is. I want to go back. Remember, we talk about the deficit as percentage of GDP. He said 7.2. I'm at a six and a half to seven. Scott Besson say I'm trying to get to six and a half to six and a half percent, down to three and a half percent. Ray Dalio 7.2%. You got to get to 3%. You know what that means? You either got to get it through tax revenue, you got to get it through tariffs, or you have to have cuts in spending. In the simplest way to get there, if you don't have the growth that drives the tax revenues and we don't have the growth right now is you got to sit there and you got to cut. And this is where Doge comes in with the waste, fraud and abuse. But eventually you're going to have to cut programmatically. Like today, they're going to zero start the process of zeroing Department of Education, which is small but symbolically important. What Dalio said on restructuring debt, that list of actions, that's what a company or a country would do if you're bankrupt. Restructuring debt, rescheduling debt, cutting off payments to certain, maybe certain countries. Chinese Communist Party in their Treasury Department, they heard Ray because they know Ray Dalio. I'm not saying he's a fellow traveler, but he's been a buddy of theirs and in business and made money in China for Years when Ray Dalio says that and that right there says ccp, they just hit the alarm over at the bank of China. What did he say? What did Ray Dalio say might happen? What he's talking about supply, demand. Let me make it simple. That our debt's too big, the deficit is too big. We have to sell too many government bonds to finance it. Very simple. And there's not that appetite. This is why we did the thing at Birch Gold, the end of the dollar empire. This is how it happens. We are the prime reserve currency. The tremendous benefits that come with that, huge responsibilities in the your betters, your betters, the lords of easy money on Wall street in the corporatist people that think you're just a collection of rubes and insurrectionists and neo fascist and racist and xenophobes, everything they call you. Although 39% of black men now vote for you. And Star County, Steve Cortez got a great documentary. Starr county at 97% Hart's Gravel Hispanic citizens. Right. We're winning by 16 points. You're still a bunch of racist know nothings and Donald Trump is Red Caesar. Right? And this is what they've left you. This didn't happen on your watch. This happened on their watch. And Ray Dalio right there, that should send everybody. Take a look at your kids. If you go homeschool, take a look at those children right now. Think of them and think of their kids. If you're under, I keep saying if you're under 40 years old, if you're voting for that mess, they've already economically crippled you and they're on the path to economically destroy you. Ray Dalio sent up a flare, kind of a cry for help. We're going to break all that down. There's much more to come. Soon as we're live in the Oval, we're going to go to Brian Glenn's there and we're going to take you right in there. We're calling audibles today in the war room. Short break. Take down the CCP. The April 15 tax deadline is coming and it's coming fast. Do you have unfiled tax returns? Can't pay the irs. The IRS is more than aggressive and the more aggressive than ever. And the longer you wait, the worse it gets. Wage garnishments, bank levies, even property seizures are all on the table. You need to get ahead of this. You need to get ahead of it today.

And that's always been the case, right? Is Democrats have had a deep bench. 2020's primary was a key example of that. And then of course, you land here. And what I was so struck by from Congresswoman Jayapal this morning is the way that she says we knew a lot of what was coming. It was in Project 2025. They had been through a Trump administration before. He is an extremely well known political figure. And yet it's it seems at every turn they are flat footed. And in my conversations with Democrats voters, they feel frustrated about wanting more, but they can't quite quantify what that is. And they are storytelling and bringing up voter stories. But what is that enough and who's grappling with that?
Al Green
No, they're just commiserating with them as they lose or as they get a victory in court and people get fired anyway. That keeps happening. The battle over the CR this week is a good example of this because. Yes, because the reason so many Republicans are comfortable voting for that is because they have been promised pretty much by elon Musk and J.D. vance, that the president will use impoundment powers and not spend money that they don't want to be spent. Anyone at home knows about the Impoundment Control act says but that's illegal. Sure it is until a court deals with it. In the mean, there's billions of dollars of spending that's going to be stopped. In the meantime, Democrats are in this position of voting against, voting against it, knowing that the funding will be impounded, but people will be fired, funding will be stopped. Whether they vote for the cr, whether it passes or not, it is a real no win position for them. And how do you go back and inspire people with a no win position? The way that Sanders has been doing it has been being incredibly consistent, just explaining the problem and saying people need to resist. He is not at these rallies in these 50 minute speeches saying, and here is my plan for winning. It is. And here is my plan for rallying people so that once we get to the ballot box again, the country is so angry at Elon Musk using the presidency to sell cars and to make himself rich that they turn out and vote against him. That's not we're gonna do this tomorrow. That is in 21 months we might have a victory. And that's not the most inspiring thing, but yes, it is getting people out there and rallying and active and Democrats are doing better in special elections. And partly because of that, those special election wins don't mean Elon has to go. There's nothing they can do to turn the administration around.
Stephen K. Bannon
That's one of the reasons we're going to have Wisconsin here. If we can slip it in this morning, we will be going to the White House live. We're going to do some beautiful shots of the White House. The Irish leader is going to show up. The President's going to have at least the reason we're covering this is the simple reason that we've got President I think is going to press a veil. And our own Brian Glenn is going to be there, right there. You heard Weigel tell the Morning Joe crowd and they got like the shock look because behind the scenes or on places like War Room and other shows, and you saw it up on Twitter that we've had the Russ vote, you had people saying, hey, guess what, we're going to pound this. We are going to get to the cuts that you guys want. And quite frankly, now the cuts that Ray Dalio is telling you, the capital markets are going to demand, are going to demand. And that's why this got passed in the House. And this is why all the people that a House Freedom Caucus who hate this, their deficit hawks, the Andy Biggs, all of them, and you this audience and I can see the live chat and I go on my getter feed, I understand you hate it, I hate it. But this is a means to an end. And you kind of boxed in these Senate Democrats, you're going to see this today, this could be an epic win for President Trump and set up all of reconciliation and everything else he wants to do. Weigel laid it out right there, you know, J.D. vance, others told him, say, look, it's gonna be impoundment. And Weigel made up the most brilliant point. They all sit up there and they sit on Rachel Maddow and all in msnbc, in the New York Times, they go, you can't do impoundment. It's illegal. We passed a law about this. So Nixon can't do it. It's illegal. It's illegal till it's not. Just keep driving forward. Keep, keep driving forward. This is in military. It's called maneuver warfare. Flank them, enroll, don't stop. This is what Patton did. This is Stonewall Jackson. This is just when they get him on the run, Keep him on the run. Never relent, never relent. Just new things every day. Flood the zone and be relentless. This is President Trump. And they're all saying, no, this is the end of the world. It's the end of their world. The end of their world. If I can get to it this morning, I'm going to play David Ignatius on morning. He lays out the whole thing that what they're trying to suck President Trump in is the same exact thing they tried to do when Zelensky went to the, to the Oval Office, when he had that, he had the, he had the breakfast over at the Hay Adams Hotel right across Lafayette Square, right across, right across that beautiful little park from the, from the, from the White House where the BLM Plaza where they're taking up the bricks of BLM today. See how inextricably linked it is? And they told him, we got you, you got to get a security guarantee. Well, Ignatius says, well, what, what, what Trump needs is a win. What he needs is a win. He's got to, he's got a, he's got to give a security guarantee that's a win for Europe because it's America on the hook. It's your sons and daughters held hostage. It's more money. That's what they want. They want America to continue to underwrite it. We're not doing that. Then he gives up the ghost. He says it bald faced right at that. He says, look, the whole thing here was about Ukraine being a European nation. No. A million people died in Ukraine and 800,000 Russian troops and a million civilians and Ukrainian troops. A million eight for that, Are you kidding me? And we underwrote it to $350 billion. And they want our Sons and daughters in there fighting. These are the worst people on earth. And it's also adding, you can't get Ray Dalio 7.2% to 3% so that we don't have the global capital markets puking on our securities. We have to sell to finance this mess and at higher interest rates that embed into the system so that everything's higher and you can't get rid of it because you got to refinance a third of this crap every year. You have to break it and you have. One of the parts you have to do is geostrategically rethink it. This is what the hemispheric defense is about. This is what America refers about. This is the genius of Trump. And that's got to flow through Hexa's, got to now flow that through the budget of the Pentagon. So we're not paying a trillion dollars. We're not paying a trillion dollars. It all fits together in such a magnificent, magnificent, magnificent plan that's being executed relentlessly, ferociously, urgently. Hat tip to the White House staff, hat tip to the Cabinet secretaries, hat tip to the Doge guys. Just show us the money. That's what we want. The biggest hat tip. This is why I'm Trump 2028. A guy like this comes along once, maybe in a country's history. We've had two before him, General Washington and Lincoln. Of all the great men and women this country has produced, two stand out. In the third, Trump. You will not see his kind again in the rest of this century. Just will not. That's what we have to take advantage of every day of it, with all its imperfections and all its flaws, which only makes its greatness more revelatory. Incredible. The right stuff. Donald Trump has it. Do you? Short break. Back in a moment. What if he had the brightest mind in the war room delivering critical financial research every month? Steve Bannon here. War room listeners know Jim Rickards. I love this guy. He's our wise man. A former CIA, Pentagon and White House advisor with an unmatched grasp of geopolitics and capital markets.
