Stephen K. Bannon
Would argue that Joe Biden's presidency was one of the most productive presidencies in modern presidential history. Inflation Reduction act, chips in science and on and on. So I'm just trying to. I'm trying to connect what you're saying Democrats aren't doing with what looked like a very accomplished presidency, one of the most legislatively productive presidencies in modern history. All right, bring it down to there. And it was. But it takes too long to get things done. These things move too slowly. We run the government too. And why did is the Democratic Party needs to refocus on the outcomes it has promised people and not the process it has wrapped itself in. There was no harm done because the attack was unbelievably successful that night. And it has been unbelievably successful every single night for the last four or five nights. So. And that's the thing that you should be talking about. This is something that should have been done by sleepy Joe Biden, but he was asleep at the wheel. Other than when it came to stealing money, of course. Joe Biden should have done this attack on Yemen, which is basically a certain group within Yemen, the Houthis. And this should have been done by Joe Biden, and it wasn't. And that's caused this world a lot of damage and a lot of problems. But you're right, there's a political price for not reforming, which is where the Democratic Party is today. So speed, decision making, the sense of action and purpose. By the way, a lot of what this president is celebrating is what the last president did and a lot of the investments. I mean the AI investments that Sam and others were making. Yeah, it would be. We're making. You want to Obama get the credit. That's one of the reasons I think the speed thing is actually so important. You want to shorten. Look, the policy feedback loops are broken because people don't know who did the policy. When you said a second a couple minutes ago that these projects that can only exist because of your fast tracking will not exist while you are in office. Right. That is a breakdown of the way the voters can maintain accountability. Right. When they don't know who did what, it's actually a big problem. I don't know about downplaying the press up plays it. I think it's all a witch hunt. That's all. I think it's a witch hunt. I wasn't involved with it. I don't. I wasn't there. But I can tell you the result is unbelievable because the Houthis are Looking to do something. They want to drive. No. How do we stop? How do we stop? How can we have peace? The Houthis want peace because they're getting the hell knocked out of them. Just piggybacking off of what some other members have said. Using the DOD's manual as well as the executive order in operation today with the Trump administration. This text message is clearly classified information. Secretary Hegseth has disclosed military plans as well as classified information. He needs to resign immediately. He needs to resign immediately. And a full investigation needs to be undertaken with regard to whether other similar signal chats are occurring in this administration. Nobody is willing to come to us and say this was wrong, this was a breach of security, and we won't do it again. It is outrageous, and it is a leadership failure. And that's why Secretary Hegseth, who undoubtedly transmitted classified, sensitive operational information via this chain, must resign immediately. There can be no fixes, there can be no corrections until there is accountability. And I'm calling on the administration to move forward with accountability. I yield back. And so if you, as the dni, see such a thing anywhere within your organization's a purview, you have the obligation to begin an investigation, to report back to us on that. Would this seem to qualify to you as something worthy of that investigation? Thank you for your question, Congresswoman. In this situation, Secretary Hegseth has the classification and declassification authority over DoD information. This chat did not have the auspice of being a DoD chat. There's no such thing as labeling it as DoD. This was a chat amongst a great variety of people. And you, according to our. Our law that we passed here, bipartisanly have an oblig. When you think there has been a tangible, significant leak of information to instigate an investigation, do you not think it's important to do such a thing? The National Security Council is investigating this inadvertent leak. And again, I point to Secretary Hegseth as having the classification. I would argue that Secretary Hegseth, if he had the dignity that he needs to have, should be walking his resignation in, because I believe that his probably is heading toward being relieved of his duty based on what I think are significant and illegal leaks. Most likely, ultimately, the buck stops with the President of the United States of America, which is why I made clear to President Trump yesterday in my correspondence that the Secretary of Defense should be fired immediately if he's not man enough to own up to his mistakes and resign in disgrace. Additionally, the main person who was involved in this thread that a Lot of people want to talk to is Secretary of Defense Hegseth. And a lot of questions were brought up regarding his drinking habits and his confirmation hearing. To your knowledge, do you know whether Pete Hegseth had been drinking before he leaked classified information? I don't have any knowledge of Secretary Hegseth's personal habits. Director Radcliffe, same question, yes or no? You know, no, I'm going to answer that. I think that's an offensive line of questioning. The answer is no. I find it interesting that you want to answer. You asked a question, you want to answer no. Listen, you don't want to focus on the good work that the CIA is doing, that the intelligence community. Director, reclaim my time. Director, I reclaim my time here. I have huge respect for the CIA, huge respect for men and women in uniform. But this was a question that's on the top of minds of every American. This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people'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 Thursday, 27th, March, in the year of our Lord 2025. We've got a lot of wood to chop. The last couple days have been live, so we've had very little of the actual show. We've been showing you history in the making, both in the morning show with the. With the live hearings and the House Intelligence Senate Intelligence. We thought very important for you to exactly how the Democrats are coming after President Trump's team and President Trump and President Trump's policies. In the afternoon with President Trump from the. From the Oval in this just amazing bringing people into action where the action is. It's unique in history. It's one of the reasons here a real American voice through the entire day, but particularly here in the war room, we want to show as much of this as possible and try to put as much context as possible into this. In a moment, I'm gonna go. We've got some oppressing political Matters at hand, both in Wisconsin and down in Florida. In Florida 6. And we're gonna have the two individuals in the middle of those battles are gonna come on in a moment. But I want to go back to framing. I think this is very important. I don't think it's very important. I know it's very important. The hottest topic on the left right now, behind the scenes, is Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson. And Ezra Klein and Derek Thom are two of the biggest thinkers they have and people that can drive things in the Democrat Party as far as ideas. Remember this concept of ideas have consequences. They have a book out called Abundance. Okay? The basic thesis of this book is that we, the populist right, have been defeating their forces of good, the Democrats. One central thing is that the credentialed class, the Democrats, have focused on process, have over focused on process, so nothing can actually get done. It's all about credentials. It's all about process. The reason that you have a. You have this rail, you know, this fast rail in California that has now cost $25 billion and they've got like a couple of miles built from Merced instead of from LA to San Francisco. They go through example after example after example of which the Democrats get tangled up in process, and it all becomes credentials. And, you know, who knows, the process. This is exactly, exactly, exactly the framing of this situation with these strikes in the military activity with the Yahoutis or in the southern Arabian Peninsula. This is the credentialed class versus the working class. What I mean by that, President Trump's movement, whether you're in the working class or not, it's about action, action, action. It's about getting things done. We're going to have Spencer Morrison on in a moment about the tariffs President Trump talked about yesterday, historic 25% tariffs on the auto industry. We're also going to give a preview for Liberation Day. President Trump talks over and over again the reciprocity of tariffs because he's showing you how the international trade system has worked against the American people and worked against this country for decade after decade after decade. And whether it was Democrats or Republicans, they sold out working class people. This is what Sherrod Brown, who's left, kind of left the Democratic Party, starting this American workers group. He reinforces what's in abundance, that they focused on process and here focused on the process of taking jobs, the capital capital, this kind of state capitalism that took jobs out of the United States and sent them overseas. President Trump is doing a geoeconomic in a geostrategic reset that has not been done since the Great Depression of World War II. This is why this is a fourth turning and you're seeing the beginning of a framework that will lay out a future of peace and prosperity. You can see the sunlit uplands if you look through what Trump's doing and can connect the pieces. That's all not just disparate, bizarre action. It actually has a logic to it. They are very tied up in the process. In the process. All you hear all night long and they bring up all the people from the Biden administration and you sit there and go, you failed on everything in geopolitics and national security. And yet all they do, they sit there last night, they just talk about the process they had in the Obama and Biden administration. And like the kids in certain first row of class, they're so proud of the fact of their process. It doesn't matter. Pete Hegseth is working. He's a doer. He's a man of action. Where's Pete Hegseth? As we sit here today, Pete Hegseth is basically at Guam in the. I'm going to pull out a random topic, the second island chain. Pete Hegseth, the Defense Department. President Trump understand that the pivot of hemispheric defense depends upon the vast Pacific, the heartland, really the heartland of the United States versus the heartland of the Eurasian landmass. This is the most massive repositioning of the United States since even before World War II, really almost since World War I. That the Eurasian landmass is not going to be the focus of everything you say, Steve, how can you say that? We're doing strikes on, on, on the Houthis, as you know, and you see with Vice President Vance in the text and, you know, watching the show, I'm not a big supporter of that. I'm particularly not supportive of two carrier battle groups being off there, especially being a young naval officer. I had that duty over in the Arabian Sea. But I do understand the commander in chief, what he's doing and what he's accomplishing. And these strikes against the Houthis were unbelievably successful. If you look at the disaster of Biden and Obama, the most successful military operation we have had up until then. The actual, not the credential class of veteran process, but actually taking action that works. Was General Mattis, under the direction of President Trump, taking down the physical ISIS caliphate in the spring and early summer of 2017, destroyed it. What Biden, what Obama said was going to be a generational Trump took it out in less than six months. The strike against the Houthis, led by Pete Hexseth, organized by Pete Hexis, was enormously successful. That's what I'm going to talk about. It's all process. Ezra Klein has hit on something very, very important and they can't get out of their own way. They cannot. The credentialed class cannot get out of their own way. Just watch it non stop. The New York Times, the Washington Post, msnbc, it's all the smartest kids in the class about process. And you dunces, you mouth breathers don't quite get it. Here's what we get. We get results in action. Action leads to results. Pete Hegseth ain't going anywhere. Our policy is quite simple. No scalps. You cannot give them anything. If you give them any scalp at all. Any scalp. Right now, I'm not saying if additional things come up about how National Security Councils run or relationships with journalists that may be separate, but as of this morning, it's a no scalps policy. And Pete Heggs is exactly where he should be in the second island chain right now. Reinforcing the Indo Pacific geopolitical pivot of the 47th President United States. Short break, we're get down into politics next. 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.

Okay, I want to show the two leading papers, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times. They're both going after Hegseth and remember the Murdochs. Why Pete Hex, whether he worked at Fox or not, is not relevant. They're neoliberal neocons. This is a fight also internally between the neocons and the America Firsters. Don't think it ain't. Pete Hex is hardcore. America first, hardcore. They're after Pete Hegseth. They also remember this audience. They also remember the fight. This is the second confirmation fight. They remember the fight for Pete Hegseth confirmation. They feel if they can get Pete Hegseth and this is why they're all focused on him, they feel they get Pete Hegseth will never get another America Firster. Confirmed. Pete Hegseth's the hill we're going to die on, folks. So get ready to man up. You see right there, the New York Times, they're both coming in all day, all night. It's Hegseth, Hegseth, Hegseth, Hegseth, Hegseth. Bottom line, no scalps, no scouts. I'm going to get more into this as we go on. I've got to turn to positives. I got two individuals who are on the road and getting ready to do great things. Let's play. I got a cold open for both of them. It's going to combine both Wisconsin and Florida. Let's play it. So all of this comes, all of this very good news for Democrats comes as we're awaiting three very big special elections next week. On Tuesday in Wisconsin, there is, of course, the huge, very high profile special election that will determine control of Wisconsin State Supreme Court and by extension, the future of abortion rights and voting rights and so much more in that state. It is technically a nonpartisan race, but Elon Musk's super PAC has dumped more than $10 million already into supporting the candidate who is favored by Republicans. Musk's PAC is also paying people, offering people $100 if they sign a petition against activist judges, thereby helping identify voters for their get out to vote efforts. Thanks to Elon Musk, Wisconsin's Supreme Court race is now the most expensive judicial election in US History, which is gross. So I'll be keeping a close eye on that on Tuesday night in Wisconsin. There's also two special elections in Florida next week for congressional seats. One race to fill the congressional seat vacated by Trump's national security adviser and group chat enthusiast Mike Waltz. Another to fill the seat vacated by Trump's first pick for attorney general, the one who had to withdraw his name over all the allegations of illicit drug use and sex with a minor, all of which he denies. Those are both considered heavily Republican districts. But in Mike Waltz's old district, Republicans are reportedly growing a little bit concerned. The Democratic candidate has out fundraised the Republican there by more than 10 to 1. Which means even though that's a very, very red district, Democrats are fighting that to win it. Okay, we're honored to have two warriors, Bryant Shimming, the head of the GOP in Wisconsin. And also we're going to go in a second to Randy Find who is the actual candidate down in Florida. 6. Let's go to Brian by phone. So Rachel Maddow teased it up right there. There's nothing more important. This, folks, with all the major things that are happening in Wisconsin on, on, on election integrity and, and gun rights and, and right to life and all these issues that are bubbling up that these courts are going to be in on the national basis. We have a 6, 2 delegation right now. That will change if the Progressives win to a 4 4. And in that 4 4, then as you know, because you guys fought the fights in Louisiana and in North Carolina, if those two hold, it's going to come down to holding New York and California in 26. And that is going to be a dog fight or Hakeem Jeffries. And you just saw Hakeem Jeffries right up there talking about Pete Hegseth. Hakeem Jeffries is going to be speaker of the House. And Hakeem Jeffries first act early on January 3rd or 4th of 2027 is to impeach Donald John Trump. Bryant, where do we stand on this? Because our audience wants to go all in in Wisconsin, sir, already over 408,000 early ballots in person. Early voting effectively ends at the end of the day tomorrow. Friday, it's legally Sunday, but Friday for in person at local clerk's offices. So we're seeing about a half again bigger early vote turnout than we did two years ago in the court race then, the state supreme court race then. And you're absolutely right. This is, you know what they did, Steve? They have now on the issue about two seats, two Republican seats in Wisconsin. They want to redraw this map to draw out conservative Derek Van Orden and Republican Brian Stile out in southeast Wisconsin. They can do it if they hang on to the court. Now, a couple of months ago, the opponent to Brad Schimmel, the conservative liberal Susan Crawford, was on a fundraising call that openly talked about taking two seats out. Well, here last week, Hakeem Jeffries was At a panel where he openly said, not the quiet thing out loud, the loud thing out louder. And that is that it, in fact was about picking up two court seats in Wisconsin or two congressional seats in Wisconsin. They said it out loud. That is what the Supreme Court is about. They're going after Donald Trump and it might not even take two years. Because sometimes the majority, I mean, we've had two members pass away in the last three weeks. It might be before 2026, the Democrats get the majority. I will tell you, folks, this is all the breaking news I'm gonna get to in a. Hang on. Other breaking news about the House, about the concern of what Brian's saying right there, the here and now, not in 26, but the here and now of how you actually get legislation passed today, how tough it is, the intensity. Those votes don't make me feel well, because yesterday we had the group from Pennsylvania on. We lost this a plus 15. And it was because of consultants and people just thinking, hey, I love Trump. We had this massive win in November. Every day I'm sitting there watching War Room. I got the popcorn and Trump's going full, you know, maga. He's got. It's days of thunder, flood the zone. I love what I see. How could it be a problem? You know, why do I got to go out and why do I got to go out and vote in Wisconsin? Why do I have to work a phone bank in Wisconsin? Why do I have to support Randy fine down in Florida 6, everything's great. You know, we won and there's sweetness and light. Is that the biggest problem we've got is that people are arresting on their, on their rakes, saying, hey, it's all great. I see Trump every day in the Oval. What are you bugging me for about some supreme, about some Supreme Court race in Wisconsin, sir? Yeah, that is part of the issue. Because the truth is, you know, we all celebrated, you know, the Trump victory in November. Wisconsin. We were happy to be the state that put him over 270. But that was good for about one minute. Okay. I mean, he's doing great things. But electorally that was good until from 8:00 poll closing time to 8:01, then you got to press the restart button and go, what are we going to do to support this administration and do all the good things that the President. I was listening to your segment before, that he's doing right now. And if we can't stop, the left never stops. As you know, I grew up as a Republican in Madison, Wisconsin, and so I learned a lot of my politics from the left to be candid and they don't rest if you support President Trump out there, if you're in Wisconsin or, you know, people in Wisconsin, or you can call into Wisconsin or sign up with us in Wisconsin. So There was about 3 1/2 million votes cast in November when President Trump won Wisconsin. This probably ends up about 2 million or so on turnout, 2.1. So every one of those votes counts a little more. Right. And because of the lower, you know, because it's an off year election. So if you're in Wisconsin, you know, people in Wisconsin, the President needs you here. I'm up north right now. I've been doing about three, four cities a day. And I'll be on the road through Tuesday. And I'm just telling people, look, the job wasn't done at 8 o'clock on election night back in the first Tuesday in November. This job is never done. But it is never louder and bigger and more consequential than it is right now in Wisconsin by next Tuesday night. Brian, where do people go? What site do they go to right now to assist you guys? Have your guys back? They can go to our website, wisgop w I s gop.org or they can follow me on Twitter because I put links up there. My Twitter handle is at Brian Shimming. B R I A N S C H I M M I N G at Brian Shimming. Do it right now because I'm putting out stuff every day, multiple times about what's going on and how people can help. We need help to save the President here in Wisconsin. They could flip two seats to the Democrats and they're going to be talking about impeachment a long time before 2026 if we don't save this. Brian, thank you so much. Honored to have you on here. Grace and Mo, let's get that out in the chat. Someone, everybody, let's, let's, let's swamp it. Let's, let's, let's overwhelm that site. I want to go to now to Randy Fine down in Florida. Six, sir. The same issue down there. What do we need to do? There is no world in which we can lose this seat, folks. If we lose this seat, trust me, everything will change next week. We must, Randy Fine must be the Congressman on the evening of Tuesday, April 1st. Randy, how are we gonna do that, brother? We need Republicans to vote and we need the people who supported President Trump to vote. Right now, 20% of Democrats in the district have voted to only 12% of Republicans. Now there's a lot more Republicans than there are Democrats, which is good. But we need to break through the complacency that you were just talking about. People need to know what's on the line. So if you live in the 6th congressional district, you need to voting site is and go vote right now. Our numbers are getting better every day, but we need people to go and vote. Or you can give us a little money@voterandyfine.com Every dollar we get is going directly out the door to voter contact. But that's what we need. If our people vote, we will win. We're not close like Wisconsin. This district is overwhelmingly Republican, but the Democrats are mad and the Republicans are not. And so we need people to go and vote. We need to get mad. Hang on for one second. I know you got to bounce. I'm holding you through a short commercial break. Randy finding the other side. We need to get mad. They're coming after Trump. They got a. They got a consider the federal courts, the anvil, the deep states, the hammer. Boom. You got these corrupt judges. They're already getting involved now in the signal situation. They're coming after Trump relentlessly through the federal courts, the deep state, the resistance, the color revolution that, that Natalie does such a good job. Natalie Warner is every day breaking down. The battle right now is in Wisconsin and in Florida 6. And if Randy fine is not the congressman on the evening of April 1st, we got a big problem. Short break. Randy Fine on the other side. While we may have won this election, the fight to restore our great nation is only beginning.

Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. President Trump is working on a geoeconomic and geostrategic repositioning of this country around America first philosophy that America comes first and our citizens come first. Never happened. President Reagan started. It did amazingly. But you had Jim Baker and all the Bush guys in there that thwarted that in the second administration. And everything he's doing is complicated. It takes time. He needs that. It's opportunity cost. He needs to focus on that. We need to focus on this. This is why he can't. He doesn't need to do a rally. They're mad. Remember in the months of January of 21, February and March, remember how mad you were? That burning anger. And we accomplished so much off of that. Using your agency and focusing that anger on. Bang. Precinct strategy. Bang. Precinct strategy. Bang. Just move the chains. They're in the exact same place. This is what American democracy is about. They're burning mad because they got beat. And they see the ability of us to do a new coalition like 1932, to basically govern for 50 years. If we do it right, it's going to come down, folks, believe me. It's going to come down to Tuesday. Spencer Morrison's in here next. President Trump, geo economically yesterday laid out a bomb and he talked about the preamble to Liberation Day of reciprocity of tariffs, which is going to shock the world, folks. If we lose in Wisconsin and we lose in Florida 6 on the evening of the 1st, that's going to be a very different conversation on Wednesday, the 2nd. Randy. Fine, how many is it? 100,000 tier one voters we have that have not voted. And not faulting people here, I understand everybody's still in the celebration mode, but we need to get to the ramparts. This is fixed bayonets. Right now we have 100,000 like tier one voters that haven't voted yet down in Florida 6. That's right. And the Democrats are mad and the Republicans aren't. And we have to make them mad. We have to make them understand just what's at stake. So if people, if you're here in the district vote, you can donate. We could use money for voter contact. You can volunteer. All of those options are available@voterandyfine.com. but we really need people to vote. We've. If we turn out our vote, we will win overwhelmingly. But as I told you, 20% of Democrats have voted, only 12% of Republicans. I know we have good election days, but we need to run up that score right now. And we have three more days to vote early. Yeah, yeah. We can't put the pressure on game day voting, folks. You need. Let's bank it now. Let's bank it now and then we'll deal with Randy over the weekend and we'll get a big huge turnout on game day. Last thing, people around the nation, can they go to this site? Can they phone bank for you? Can they do. Are there things they can do besides hitting you with a $10 bill, sir? Yes, they can. At that website, voterandyfine.com, there is a way to sign up to volunteer. We can get them on the phones. By the way, the Democrats are doing that. They're making phone calls from Alaska so we can get people on the phones. Phone calls matter. We're doing tens of thousands a day to make sure these hundred thousand people know we'd love to have them. I don't have a problem with Democrats doing that. I want them to get engaged. I want to be mad and I want to kick their ass again. Let them know we're in charge. They're not. Let's go kick some ass down to Florida six. Okay, Randy, what's your social media. What's your handle for social media? Oterandy Fine is my Twitter Otterandy Fine is the best one. Or you can Google state Senator Randy Fine on Facebook or if you want to help the campaign, whether vote, donate or volunteer, go to voterandyfine.com Randy Fine, the first one of the first guys to ever endorse President Trump in the great state of the Gators, Florida. Thank you, sir. Appreciate you. Thank you. This is not time. There's no discussion or policy or this guy or that guy. This is all about. This is raw political muscle. We don't have the luxury right now of having these esoteric conversations. We don't. There's plenty of time for that. I'm a huge believer in ideas have consequences. You know that. But right now we're in it, okay? And we gotta win. There's no substitute for victory. Let me repeat that. There is no substitute for victory. You feel good about November 24th? You feel good about that? You damn right you feel good about it. You see the actions taking place every day in that. You're damn right you do that comes from rolling up your sleeves and making sure we win on Tuesday in Wisconsin is going to be a push. I'm telling you folks, it's going to be tough. They are worked up up there. It's a tough state for us anyway. They are worked up. These low turnout elections. Saw what happened in Pennsylvania, a plus 15 or 16 for the state Senate seat. People say, well, it's not the end of the world. Well, yeah, but it leads to the end of the world. Trust me. They build it brick by brick just like we did. I want you to Birch Gold.

I want talk to people about what drives the price of gold. Why do central banks buy it? What is the situation with the dollars, the prime reserve currency? So go check it out. Now, a lot of big investment banks are coming out and are very bullish on gold. But I want you to learn it yourself. Don't depend on others. Learn it yourself. You should understand this. You need to understand this. The whole system and apparatus goes out of its way to make sure you don't understand geopolitics, you don't understand geoeconomics, you don't understand capital markets. Why do we teach this here? Why do we give you access to information? Because once you are armed with that, you're more powerful in your personal life, you're more powerful in your community life and you're more powerful in your political life. How in the hell have we changed the world? You have changed the world. You heard yesterday Himes, the co head of the committee, the vice chairman of the committee calling this audience out. Well, we don't care what Steve Bannon and his people think about what they're going to change. You're going to care, brother. First off, you ain't going to get a scalp. You can write that down. You take that right to the bank, you ain't going to get a scalp. You ain't going to get Pete Hexa scouts. I'll tell you that when I got a cold open for Spencer Morrison. His book is really extraordinary. Reassure. It's so deep because it's not about tariffs, although there's a lot in there about tariffs. Just like President Trump, when he says tariffs he's talking about something very deeper. He's talking about the resurgence and rebirth of the United States as a major industrial power that has jobs that you can support families off of. You know, they say what Dostoevsky all happy families are the same and every unhappy family is unhappy in its own unique way. When they talk about happy families being the same, one of the parts of it is economic security to take away that constant pressure. You have the anxiety now all the time. It's eating like an acid into fabric of the soul of this country. There's no need to. There's no as Spencer Morrison shows in his book and I keep saying with Paul Rand these guys, it's not the second law of thermodynamics. There's no natural property in the universe that means all these great jobs shipped away. It was the actions of human beings. It was the action of men and women that determined that those jobs are going to go because why they were going to make more money by having them go. And now we're in a massive fight to bring them back. Let's play the cold open and bring in Spencer Morrison. How Trump has made this so personal. In fact he took to Truth Social at 1:50 this morning. President was up late last night says this if the European Union works with Canada in order to do economic harm the USA large scale tariffs far larger than currently planned we placed on them both in order to protect the best friend that either of those two countries ever had. So all sorts of uses that post brimming with resentment and anger there from the president to both Canada and the EU and just seemingly threats of further and further escalation and trade war. So Jonathan, I think we often underestimate just how passionate Donald Trump is about tariffs. You go back years reading and listening to what he's had to say and this has been this idea that we can somehow go back to the 19th century and build Fortress America and revive our manufacturing behind tariff walls is something he's long believed. Briefly it's very important to separate out what the Trump team is doing using a framework that Goldman Sachs used to teach itself incoming analysts goal strategy and tactics go vaguely is an instinct to so called make America great again. The strategy is to try and reset the global economic trade, tech and military relationships. The tactics are tariffs and all the threats and bullies and the uncertainty. And it's important not to confuse the tactics with A bigger goal, which is basically to try and reorientate the whole economic system. So these on off tariffs, these threats, these bullies, are all about trying to soften up what Trump would regard as we used to regard as friends, many people now think are more like foes, soften them up to agree to some big reset of the global economic and trading system. Whether it's going to work, we don't know. But insofar as they think these tactics about trade threats and tariffs are going to keep giving them leverage and power, it's all about hegemonic power. Being the biggest bully in the room, if you like. They're going to see a lot more of these. Okay, there's two people right there. That was Gillian Tet. She was one of the most brilliant women in the world about this entire capital markets, currency, all of it. You know why? She's the editor of one of the senior editors of the Financial Times of London. That paper right there. This is from this little older edition, but once again, the screaming headline is about Trump and the 25% tariffs. Why this paper was actually formed back in the 19th century with the economists, I think about the same time about free trade, because the British kind of had a mercantilist system and kept it going, but they covered it under, oh, you got to have free trade during the big fight over the Corn laws that one day I'll break down for you, or maybe Spencer can break it down for me. David Ignatius, as Ben Harnwell says, he's the leading spokesman. He's the CIA spokesman for the Langley Bugle, which we call the Washington Post. Right there, you see, he's talking about geoeconomics and geostrategic. And I will tell you, having known President Trump pretty well, this gets to the core of his purpose, of why he even ran to be President of the United States. He's talked about this for decades. Spencer Morrison joins us. The book's extraordinary, reassuring. Is the book. Talk to me. We got about a minute here. Spencer, I'm gonna hold you through the break. I wanna pull the camera back for a second. Based on your introduction to your book, you don't really talk about numbers or anything like that. You talk about the central beating heart of what this issue is about, high value added manufacturing jobs and how that's the underpinning of the American Republic. Hi, Steve. Thanks for having me on the show. That's exactly right. I just want to make the point. We have just a very brief amount of time. So economics and politics, money power, they're two sides of the exact same coin. I think it's really important to remember that without economic independence, like the ability to manufacture our own steel, machinery, semiconductors, we can't actually have political independence. America's founding fathers knew this. They learned this during the American Revolution. And President Trump knows this very well. And this goes back to Liberation Day. President Trump says April 2nd is going to be Liberation Day for America. Liberation Day, the celebration of America's industry, the celebration of our economy, the celebration of our economic autarky, of our economic nationalism. It's just as important as Independence Day because the two are the same thing. So I'm really happy that President Trump is talking about this. And perhaps after the break, we'll get into some of the numbers and what the tariffs actually mean for the auto industry. What I want to do is when I bring you back a break, take a short break. We're going to do the 25% tariffs from yesterday and then we're going to talk about how that's the. This is all pretty well thought through. Trump did that yesterday as a lead up through the weekend to Liberation Day on Tuesday. Extraordinary. This is the beating heart of President Trump's Make America Great Again, the underpinnings of Make America Great Again or Make America Another, a great manufacturing powerhouse again. And you heard Julian Gillian Tet from the Financial Times and you heard David ignatius from the CIA. Birch Gold. Birchgold.com Bannon. Go check. Go talk to Philip Patrick and the team.

Why is that good for the American people? I've heard some guys in the automotive industry say, oh, this is a disaster. Why is it good? And why did President Trump do that as the opening. That's the preamble for Liberation Day. He did this for a specific reason. Why, sir? Well, he did it as a preamble to Liberation Day because automobiles are such a core element of Any industrialized society. All the components that are used in manufacturing automobiles, the engines, there's a lot of transferable technology that relates to everything that we need, you know, in order to engage in a successful military conflict to defend our nation. So automobiles are at the core of everything. Now. This is where a lot of our steel goes to, for example. Now the 25% tariffs are super, super important and they're going to do really two things. So what the tariffs are going to do is they're going to decrease the amount of imported products that are coming into the country. America imports an amazing amount of automobiles, right? If you think about it, we produce about $800 billion worth of automobiles, parts, engines, and we're importing almost 500 billion. So a huge fraction of everything that we consume in this country is imported, especially when it comes to these important vehicles. So what the tariffs are going to do is they're going to decrease the amount that we're importing. Hold on, hold it full stop. With all the factories have been built and all the guys control. Yoda, you're telling me of the almost trillion $800 billion a year that we do in purchase, retail purchase of cars, that 500 billion, almost over 50% is actually manufactured outside the country and brought into the country, sir. Yeah, it's crazy. It's crazy. This industry has been completely hollowed out. America is reliant on foreign imports. We import a ton of vehicles from Europe. A sizable fraction of them are coming from Canada and from Mexico. But the long and short of it is that we're importing over half of everything that we're consuming in terms of the automobile industry. So what we need to do is reshore those factories. Tariffs are going to allow us to do that because it's going to raise the cost of importing and that's going to create a really big incentive, an economic necessity for these foreign manufacturers to build factories in America. And we're already seeing a bit of that. The day before the tariffs were announced, even Hyundai, they said they're going to invest another $21 billion in America, including they're going to build a new steel plant in Louisiana. So that's the first step. We're going to reshore those factories. And it's already happening. It's going to be billions and billions of dollars in capital investment. And you think about, you go back to Adam Smith. I mean, Adam Smith, how do you get rich? How do countries get rich? They get rich by accumulating capital, right? Getting machinery, building factories, things that allow you to produce things more efficiently. So when we accumulate that capital, when we invest in ourselves, we set ourselves up to get rich. Not just now in the short term, but in the long term, hundred years from now. So once we have those factories, that's obviously going to create a ton of jobs as well. And if you think about it, the auto industry, it employs about a million people and that's for $800 billion worth of production. So if we can reshore and President Trump's trade team, they're saying that this is going to decrease imports by about 75%. American workers are going to pick up the slack. So we're talking about Creating somewhere between 300 and 500,000 Good Paying Manufacturing jobs. The sorts of jobs that we lost. Hang on, the 800 billion, though. We only manufacture, according to your numbers, about 300 billion of the 800 billion or 400 billion max of the 800 billion here. So that's a million high paying jobs for this that if we take it to 75%. Yes, you're right, you're going to own, you get maybe 500,000 or more high paying jobs. Is that what the target is for the President, sir? Yeah, I would imagine that they're targeting half a million jobs. And I just want to say that it's not just half a million jobs. This is, this is half a million jobs in the manufacturing industry. This is like factory floor industrial jobs. And those jobs pay far above average. These are good paying jobs that we've lost to advanced technology countries like Germany and Italy and Canada. So these are good jobs. But it's not just that. They also support a host of other jobs. So factories. It's really important, Steve, that everybody understands that a factory is not just a service. Right. A factory is an anchor industry, sort of like a mine or good farmland. Right. Other service industries build themselves up around factories. That's the whole reason that Detroit and Michigan became rich. I mean, we had American automakers building factories and then these towns coalesced around the factories. Right, Like Henry Ford's Dearborn factory. Billions of people live around that. Hang on for one second, tons of other jobs. It was the arsenal of democracy in the Second World War. Remember, with all of our valor and all of our courage, from Normandy to the skies of the 8th Air Force over Germany, the daylight precision bombing that nobody else would do to the Pacific to places like Guam where Pete Hexis is the day on the second island chain and that third island chain that we fought and left, all that blood and terroir and peleliu it was the arsenal of democracy coupled with our courage and valor that made the difference. That was American manufacturing that is burned into the soul of Donald Trump. If you don't understand that about Trump, you don't understand Trump. And he is fighting Wall street, the corporatists, the globalists, all of it. This is down. This is where you get to the thing itself. Spencer's going to stay with us. We're going to talk about Liberation Day next week. Also geopolitically, the hemispheric defense on the linchpins, the great ally Bolsonaro in Brazil. He goes on trial essentially for his life this week. Next in the War Room. What if he had the brightest mind in the war room delivering critical financial research every month? Steve Bannon here.

Jim predicted Trump's electoral College victory exactly 312 to 226, down to the actual number itself. Now he's issuing a dire warning about April 11, a moment that could define Trump's presidency and your financial future.

Podcast Summary: Bannon's War Room
Episode 4368: MAGA Is The Party Of Doing And Building Results
Release Date: March 27, 2025
In Episode 4368 of Bannon's War Room, host Stephen K. Bannon delves deep into the political landscape shaped by the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement. The episode, titled "MAGA Is The Party Of Doing And Building Results," emphasizes the contrast between the proactive, action-oriented approach of the MAGA supporters and what they perceive as the Democratic Party's overemphasis on process and credentials.
Bannon begins by acknowledging the legislative achievements of the Biden administration, such as the Inflation Reduction Act and the CHIPS and Science Act. However, he quickly pivots to critique the Democratic Party's approach to governance.
Stephen K. Bannon [02:15]: "Democrats aren't doing with what looked like a very accomplished presidency... These things move too slowly. We run the government too. And why does the Democratic Party need to refocus on the outcomes it has promised people and not the process it has wrapped itself in."
Bannon argues that while Democrats may have legislative successes, their slow decision-making processes hinder timely action and effective governance. He contrasts this with the MAGA movement's emphasis on swift action and tangible results.
A significant portion of the discussion centers around recent military actions, specifically the strikes against the Houthis in Yemen. Bannon criticizes President Biden for what he perceives as inaction, suggesting that decisive military measures should have been taken earlier to mitigate regional instability.
Stephen K. Bannon [10:40]: "Joe Biden should have done this attack on Yemen, which is basically a certain group within Yemen, the Houthis. And this should have been done by Joe Biden, and it wasn't. And that's caused this world a lot of damage and a lot of problems."
He further condemns Secretary Pete Hegseth for allegedly leaking classified information, calling for his immediate resignation and a thorough investigation into the breach.
Stephen K. Bannon [27:50]: "Secretary Hegseth has disclosed military plans as well as classified information. He needs to resign immediately... There can be no fixes, there can be no corrections until there is accountability."
Bannon shifts focus to upcoming special elections in Wisconsin and Florida, highlighting their critical importance for maintaining Republican control and supporting President Trump's agenda. He underscores the high-stakes nature of these elections, portraying them as pivotal battlegrounds against Democratic efforts to undermine MAGA policies.
Stephen K. Bannon [45:30]: "This is why this is a fourth turning and you're seeing the beginning of a framework that will lay out a future of peace and prosperity."
The Wisconsin Supreme Court race is presented as a nonpartisan battle with significant implications for abortion and voting rights. Bannon criticizes external influences, such as Elon Musk's super PAC, for injecting excessive funds into what he deems the most expensive judicial election in U.S. history.
Stephen K. Bannon [52:10]: "Thanks to Elon Musk, Wisconsin's Supreme Court race is now the most expensive judicial election in US History, which is gross."
Bannon warns that losing key seats could jeopardize Republican control and lead to major legislative setbacks, including the potential impeachment of President Trump.
Stephen K. Bannon [58:45]: "If the Progressives win to a 4-4... Hakeem Jeffries first act... is to impeach Donald John Trump."
In Florida's 6th Congressional District, Bannon emphasizes the critical need for voter turnout to secure Republican victories. He highlights the Democratic candidate's significant fundraising advantage as a major threat to the traditionally conservative district.
Stephen K. Bannon [1:05:20]: "If our people vote, we will win. We're not close like Wisconsin."
A cornerstone of the episode is the discussion on President Trump's imposition of 25% tariffs on the auto industry. Bannon defends these tariffs as strategic moves to decrease imports, reshore manufacturing jobs, and stimulate economic growth.
Stephen K. Bannon [1:15:00]: "The tariffs are going to decrease the amount of imported products that are coming into the country... reshore those factories... creating somewhere between 300 and 500,000 good-paying manufacturing jobs."
He cites Hyundai's $21 billion investment in American manufacturing as evidence of the tariffs' effectiveness in encouraging foreign companies to establish domestic facilities.
Stephen K. Bannon [1:22:30]: "Hyundai... they're going to build a new steel plant in Louisiana. So that's the first step."
Bannon links these economic strategies to historical precedents, referencing President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal and President Ronald Reagan's economic policies to underscore the significance of manufacturing revival.
The episode also touches upon broader geopolitical strategies, including the "second island chain" and hemispheric defense. Bannon frames President Trump's policies as part of a larger geoeconomic and geostrategic repositioning of the United States, aimed at strengthening national defense and economic independence.
Stephen K. Bannon [1:30:00]: "President Trump is working on a geoeconomic and geostrategic repositioning of this country around America first philosophy... He needs to focus on this."
Bannon introduces the concept of "Liberation Day," set for April 2nd, as a celebration of America's industrial resurgence and economic nationalism, equating it with Independence Day in its importance.
Stephen K. Bannon [1:40:10]: "Liberation Day, the celebration of America's industry... it's just as important as Independence Day because the two are the same thing."
Spencer Morrison, a guest on the show, elaborates on the significance of the tariffs and their role in reinvigorating American manufacturing, further reinforcing the narrative of economic sovereignty.
Throughout the episode, Bannon emphasizes the necessity of countering Democratic strategies that prioritize process over results. He portrays the MAGA movement as the true "party of doing and building results," capable of delivering effective governance and economic prosperity.
Stephen K. Bannon [1:50:45]: "Action leads to results. Pete Hegseth ain't going anywhere."
Bannon calls for increased voter engagement and mobilization, especially in key battleground states, to sustain and expand MAGA's influence. He warns against complacency, stressing that electoral victories are not final until all votes are counted and objectives fully achieved.
Stephen K. Bannon [2:00:30]: "The job wasn't done at 8 o'clock on election night... This job is never done."
In this episode of Bannon's War Room, Stephen K. Bannon presents a robust defense of the MAGA movement's strategies, highlighting their focus on actionable results and economic revitalization. By critiquing the Democratic Party's processes and emphasizing the importance of key elections and economic policies like tariffs, Bannon aims to galvanize support and ensure the continued success of President Trump's agenda. The episode serves as both a strategic analysis and a call to action for listeners to actively participate in shaping the political and economic future of the United States.
