Steve Bannon
This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. You're just not going to get 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 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.
Stephen K. Bannon
War Room, here's your host, Stephen K. Band.
Steve Bannon
Okay, welcome back. It is Tuesday the 1st of April in the year of our Lord 2025. If you like the geopolitics, the capital markets, everything we talk about. Jim Rickerts, who's now a big contributor for us, Rickards war room.com you get access to strategic intelligence. This kind of on a written basis makes a deeper case than even the War room and the time we have allotted every day. So make sure you go to he throws a free book in about artificial intelligence in capital markets, particularly currency. Folks, what I'm going to tell you on the eve of Liberation Day, it's going to get a little cray cray tomorrow. It just is. So strap in. We're going to be here and doing it nonstop this afternoon. I'll talk about in the 6 o'clock hour what to expect. Also, we're going to have wall to wall coverage tomorrow. I'm actually going to be speaking at a conference in D.C. which I'll tell you all about tomorrow morning. But go to rickardswarroom.com to get strategic intelligence if you love this stuff and I know you do and you get the free book money, GPT, I think it is artificial intelligence and currency. Oscar the hell out of you. Okay, I want to go. I've got Kerry here on USAID and Voice America, which she's been doing such a magnificent job. But Kerry Lake, you're known in the public's mind as one of the fire breathers about what was happening on the southern border and particularly this fentanyl crisis, tariffs. You know, Todd Benson's got a piece going up on Daily Wire, I think, Todd, even as we speak, that breaks this down. It kind of reinforces what the New York Times was saying, tariffs and fentanyl. You just heard that there's been a 50% drop in this. Your comments and observations, ma'am?
Kari Lake
Well, coming from Arizona and living there and having the experience of talking to so many angel parents, moms and dads who lost their kids from this fentanyl, I call it a crisis, but it really is a war. We sat back for four years and allowed for a weapon of mass destruction to cross our border. Joe Biden didn't do anything about it. I think he actually aided and abetted the cartels. And President Trump is stepping up and doing something about it. And this is critically important. We're losing a generation of young people. President Trump is turning the corner, going after the cartels, putting on tariffs. We're going to be closely monitoring everything coming across our border when these tariffs kick in and it's going to be harder to get the drugs across the ones that they are attempting to get across the border. The cartels have to be in a panic. But never forget, they're wily and they're smart, unfortunately. And they're already working on other plans. I read a great piece in the Epoch Times couple months back that they're already manufacturing fentanyl in Southern Africa, in South Africa right now, where of course, the Chinese, the CCP, have made inroads and they're already manufacturing, they're prepared for things to be clamped down in Mexico and they're already going to their plan B. So they will try and they will try and they will try to get this stuff in. And this is another reason why President Trump's tariff plan is actually going to be good at trying to stop this killing and poisoning of a young generation here because we're going to have a better eye on what's coming into our country. And you know, I think you mentioned it, things are going to get a little bit dicey and maybe crazy starting tomorrow. But whoever thought this was going to be smooth sailing just because we won the election, now is when the work begins. And in order to turn this economy around and put forth trade that President Trump has talked about that we know will work, it's going to take effort and it's going to be a little bit dicey at times. And so we just have to, as you said, you know, strap ourselves in, put on the seatbelt and get ready for what could be a little bit of a wild ride. But at the end of it, our economy is going to be so much stronger. The, the burden will not be on the American taxpayer. It's not going to be on the hard working man and woman in this country anymore to carry on Their backs. All of the bloat. We're seeing it right now with usaid. You know what they're have, what's happening there with M Agency, USAGM Global Media. The bloat and the out of control spending is outrageous. And every time we cancel a contract, we do something to shrink it down. I think about the hard working man, the hard working woman across America and easing their burden just a little bit more every day.
Steve Bannon
No. And it's taxpayers paying for this and it's all Marxist and neo Marxist stuff. Hang on for one second because I want to go to part two of this and I want your comments on this since politically you're one of the leading voices about this in this country. So Todd Bensman. So folks understand President Trump put these tariffs in emergency measures to go after fentanyl. Fentanyl's dropped dramatically. It's not the Chinese Communist Party. She's going to try to take credit. Oh, you know, in the engine room, Captain Fennell says, always remember, keep the main thing. The main thing as Kerry just brought up, the cartel's partners are the Chinese Communist Party. They still exist. The lab still exists. Yes, it's. And we got Berquam and Oscar Blue down in that territory right now. They'll be reporting hopefully later today or tomorrow. But the kinetic part of this, you know, Pete Hegseth, they're mocking Pete Hegseth on MSNBC last night because he's got two Navy destroyers off the coast of Mexico is this. You've still got the Stryker command down on the border. The border's been essentially secured. We still need to build the wall. We still need to do more. We still need to make sure it's permanent and not just take our eye off of which they want us to do, but the kinetic activity, the actual physical destruction of the cartels, their fentanyl lab, their entire infrastructure and apparatus, just like President Trump in the first six months of the first term with General Mattis, took down the physical caliphate that existed with half Assyria and half of Iraq. And he let that place looking like Dresden in 1945 as he took down the ISIS caliphate and destroyed it. Root and branch. This must be destroyed root and branch. We can't. I know you've got this theory, the company, and we can do that and stop this. And Oscar Blue is talking about politicians. But the physical labs, the cartels, their henchmen, don't they have to be taken out either through a paramilitary activity or military strike?
Todd Bensman
Sir, yes, they do. And yes, they are being taken out. Right now, Mexico used to take its cut of the fentanyl profits from Kulikon. For 10 years, they've been taking their cut. Now they're attacking the labs. New York Times, you mentioned earlier, did a story just about a month ago talking about how fentanyl production has been virtually shut down completely as a result of pressure from Trump using the tariff. The tariff, remember, tariffs are not strictly about forcing Europe to open its markets to American products, et cetera, and Asia, et cetera. It's to get stuff like this done so that we can stop Americans dying of overdoses. That's really what the outcome of these tariffs are about. And right now, they have led to an eradication of. Of the fentanyl production in Kulokan. That doesn't mean all over Mexico. Obviously, they're moving it around. But Derek Maltz, the administrator of the dea, in an interview with me yesterday, told me that the cartels have made a strategic business decision to not smuggle fentanyl into the US Anymore because it's just too radioactive. They don't care that it's killing Americans. They care that it's killing their business with the foreign terrorist organization. Right. And that they're stopping as a strategic decision, a business decision. They're pragmatists, ultimately, even though they're killers also, and to start shipping that fentanyl to Europe instead. So all of that is because of the. You have to imagine that the CIA assets, the officers that have moved in there, that that's what they're working on. They're helping the Mexicans go kinetic on those labs right now. And by the way, the New York Times reporter said in a podcast, and I quote at length, most people miss this podcast completely. No friend of Donald Trump, obviously, it's. The New York Times are attributing the slowdown in fentanyl and the kinetic activity on those labs to Donald Trump's trade tariffs directly and repeatedly. In a podcast that I quote from, it's not just Derek Maltz saying, yeah, our policies forced this to happen, and there's a coinciding decline in smuggling. So what we need to see, it's early. It's still. The battlefield is fresh. It's being churned right now. It's going to continue. But the early data is very promising. But what we really need to know is whether that less smuggling is translating into saved American lives. And if that turns out to be the case, then Donald Trump will have earned his place, a revered place in American history for saving thousands and thousands of Americans. If this Thing works. It's early still.
Steve Bannon
Hundreds of thousand. Todd, it's an incredible piece. You tie it all together. I also want to make a comment about today. Later at 6 o'clock, I'm going to break down this amazing New York Times piece about the American military, the American army, the CIA and British commandos running the war in Ukraine on a daily basis using the Ukrainians as the soldiers, but running it from Wiesbaden Air Force Base, army base in Germany. It's incredible. But those CIA folks are the ones that are now in Mexico as Todd Benzeman and Ben Harnwell and Jack Bosova have been talking about. The party is on. Benjamin, this article in Daily Wire, you pull it all together. Where do people get it? Where do people get it? Go to your social media.
Todd Bensman
Yeah. So I'm at bensmontodd on X. You'll find it there and all my other stuff, tweeting all the time. And I'm on Getter and Truth Social. And that's if you go to my website, toddbensman.com you can sign up for my newsletter and get alerts on when I publish. I've got a lot of stuff coming and I'm heading to the border again tomorrow.
Steve Bannon
And we'll be following you down there. We got Berquam and Oscar already in country. So this is getting big. It's getting hot. Bensman, be Saf. We'll talk to you tomorrow.
Todd Bensman
Thank you.
Steve Bannon
One of the best. Our team is the best. Second to none. Kari Lake. Going up the escalatory ladder, tariffs have done an amazing job. When the New York Times guy covering the cartels say, hey, they've dropped 50% because Trump dropped a hammer on tariffs. And the business community and the politicians in Mexico are paying attention. But to go up the escalatory ladder, to go kinetic, to basically eviscerate this and end it, right? To end it how there's gonna be violent blowback. Just give me your perspective from the Arizona. I mean, now you're gonna get into a danger zone. Cause there is gonna be blowback. Are the people in this country prepared, do you think, mentally, for what a war against the cartels will entail, ma'am?
Kari Lake
Well, you know, and who knows how ugly it's going to get. But I will tell you, the people in Arizona are ready to stop being the pass through state. That pipeline for this mass weapon of mass destruction called fentanyl. It's just wreaked havoc on our state. I, you know, nothing was harder on the campaign trail than talking to parents and it was every day who would come up to you and say, I lost my 20 year old son. He's gone, he's never coming back. He took a single pill, he thought it was a real legitimate pill and it turned out to be laced with fentanyl. You hear those stories day after day. So they're going to be ready for that. We're going to have to take this fight head on. And you know, I think it's going to be very interesting to see how quickly we can get through the painful part of it, to see the benefits of it. And we're already seeing it as you just had in that last segment. We're seeing the benefits of it right now with they're not bringing the fentanyl through and across the border. But no one ever said this was going to be easy. We were born thankfully in this period to usher in a great future for our children and, and be part of it. And it means there's going to be sacrifice and difficulty still going forward. But I think President Trump has an incredible plan. You can't doubt him because he's been so successful. Let's see where this goes. I think the people of Arizona are ready for whatever comes their way. It's that important.
Steve Bannon
Kerry Kerry hanger for one second. A new golden age is ahead of us. Kerry leg nailed it, but we're going to have to chop some wood to get there. The sunlit uplands are ahead, but it's going to be a tough grind. Here's the good news, people on our side of the football, pretty damn tough. Anti fragile, resilient grit determination. Get ready. It's coming. Short commercial break Kari Lake's going to talk to us about what's going on at Voice America. USAID on the statutory side. Short commercial break we're going to return. We're also going to go to Wisconsin. We got so much to get done between now and the end of the show. We're going to get it all done. 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, for you guys to start with us, years ago, I think it was around 1100, 1200, something like that. It's not the price of gold that matters. It is the underlying forces that are driving gold as a hedge. Now, in times of financial turbulence. Go check it out today. If we can teach you any lesson at all. It's what the central banks of the world see to make sure you see what you see. How about that? Tie that back to the French poet. Just like what's going on. The revolutionary left in this country, the dangerous revolutionary left. And if you don't think it's dangerous, watch Rachel Maddow every night. I know it could be painful, but there are many deep lessons there about what is going to happen to this country unless we stop it and stop it we shall. People say, well, how can you say that? Well, you know, we've had some long odds before. Remember January 2021. Remember the afternoon of 20 January 2021, where President Trump had the election stolen from him and went back and got out of the Air Force One on the tarmac in Palm Beach. Remember that? Pretty long odds. President Trump's in the White House in the Oval on the eve of Liberation Day. Kerry Lake, Voice of America, the global platform that you have that you're in charge of in an interim basis of all the lawsuits, I think there's been something like 100. I believe your agency has had more lawsuits. Does this show me what the deep state in the radical left, the revolutionary left, think about literally the taxpayer funded propaganda platform that was spewing hate and anti American hatred, anti Trump, anti maga hatred throughout the world? Ma'am.
Kari Lake
It's one of the favorites of the deep state, that's for sure. I mean, you know, it should tell you how hard it was to get President Trump's picks into this agency, how they, they prize it and they, they value it. Just like usaid. Usagm, I think, is one of their favorites. And you don't have to look any further than President Trump's first term with Michael Pack, who, by the way, just put out an incredible op ed in the Wall Street Journal. I encourage you to go look at it. You can go to my Twitter page and all of my social media. I've posted it there as talked about his first term. Keep in mind with Michael Pack, President Trump nominated him to be the CEO for US Agency for Global Media. Congress did not, the Senate did not confirm him for three and a half years. They dragged it out for three and a half years. They finally got him in there and he saw, he started to look under the hood and see how corrupt it was, what a national security threat this agency was. And they were absolutely panicked when Joe Biden, quote, unquote, won the election. And you know how I feel about that. And got into office. His very first interview he did, before he got into office, he said, the first person I'm gonna fire is Michael Pack. Now think about that. Think about all the people that he probably wanted to take out that were Trump appointees and Trump had put into place. The very first person Joe Biden wanted to get rid of was this guy who's heading up this little agency for global media that tells you how powerful this agency is. And in the four years during Biden, they spen time Trump proofing it, they took all of these grantees, they made it so their contracts were had zero transparency. We can't see how the money is being spent. Half of our agency's budget goes to these grantees. And we can't see how the money's being spent. It comes into our agency and we have to just flush it right back out to them, no questions asked. I think the taxpayer deserves to know where their money is. President Trump wants to know where the money is going. That's why he wants it boiled down to its statutory minimum. That's what we're working at. But we've got judges in Washington, D.C. and the Southern District of New York fighting us.
Steve Bannon
Okay? Carrie Lake, who knows media better than anybody, was an anchor for many years, understands, has presence, but also understands how media works. Carrie Lake's in this job for two reasons. Number one, she has a deep professional understanding of media. Number two, you need to be A warrior to be in this position. They are coming after her 247 worse than when she was in Arizona running for office. That's why they're as tough as boot leather. No, you are. That's why President Trump picked you.
Kari Lake
People know he picked you for this.
Steve Bannon
Position because they know they were coming for you on a global basis. I mean, you take more beating in the European papers and European media every day than even the US Media, ma'am.
Kari Lake
Well, you know, that's the price you pay when you're on a very noble mission. And I consider this mission that we're all on together, very noble mission. But I sometimes when I was running for office and would just get unfairly attacked, I would think, God, why? Why is all of this happening? And then the lawfare kicked in and now I realize it was just to strengthen me. It was just to strengthen me because right now, everything, all of the hardships that I dealt with in those amazing runs for office and campaigning, I'm using all of those skill right now because we're having lawfare, we're having judges that we obviously don't agree with. Look at these judges trying to basically take the power away from the executive branch and, you know, the attacks in the media. It's just so amazing, though, to watch how the media is transforming. The media landscape is transforming and these, these, the mainstream media is being pushed aside. The truth is getting out this fight. We are winning it. I just don't want people to lose hope or to say, oh, I'm just, I'm too tired right now. This is when we have to get the gas and push forward.
Steve Bannon
My good. All gas, no break. My good friend and, excuse me, filmmaking partner on many projects, Michael Pack. When you go back about why the left is so insane about Trump and the Trump revolution, Michael. And they don't mind RINOs. And because Republican, traditional Republicans are controlled opposition, they're not going to change anything. They're just going to go along. Michael Pack was there for three and a half years before he was confirmed. Three and a half years, because they understood when Michael Pack got in there, he was going to be just like Kerry Lake. What Kerry Lake found on this thing is repulsive. Okay? They, the Republicans, we controlled the Senate. It was Michael, it was Mitch McConnell and the control. They did not want anybody to get in and see this. This is how evil the rinos are. Remember, they are the junior partner to the radical left. And this is how they've enriched themselves. They stayed around Kerry Lake. We gotta bounce social media, ma'am people wanna follow you now more than ever in your great crusade to rid this revolutionary doctrine from the taxpayer payroll. Ma'am.
Kari Lake
Go to Kari Lake at Carrie Lake. K A R I L A K E. You can find me on Twitter. Get her. You know all of the social media out there, I'm primarily on Twitter. And then just stay tun tuned in. I'm always, I'm always with you guys in the morning and when I'm not and trying to tune in because you do such a great job, Steve. And, and we would be, we would not be where we are without the war room posse. The, the hard working men and women across this country who tune into this show every day. They don't just tune in and then turn the show off and then go on with their lives. They're active and they do the work and we could not do it without we the people. And we the people are the people watching your show every day.
Steve Bannon
Thank you, ma'am. I appreciate you the kind words to the audience. Really appreciate you. Thanks. You're a warrior. Another warrior. We're going to go, we got some work to do today in Wisconsin. We're going to go to Brad Shimming. Another warrior. Brad. Brian, give it to us. Brian, give it to us. With the bark on. Where do we stand? I understand some weather situation up there. What does this audience have to do today?
Stephen K. Bannon
Sir, they have to go vote themselves if they have not voted early already. As I've spoken around the state the last two weeks, a lot of people voted early. But for those who have not voted, we need you to go vote between now and 8:00 Central tonight. Second thing is the greatest weapon you could possibly have in your hand on this election day whether you voted already or not. The greatest thing you could have, weapon you could have right now is this is get on your phone and look through your contacts. I don't care who it is that's watching us right now. You all have five to ten people that you could influence that you have enough influence with, whether it's your friends or your neighbors or relatives, whoever that might be, people you work with, people you associate with. Somehow go get those five or 10 or more people, call them now and get them to go vote today if they have not already. If they need a ride, give them a ride or arrange one. And it's that important. As I often say, Steve, I mean to me this is grassroots politics. I mean you can spend a gazillion dollars on ads and all that and I guess we need all that. But the bottom line is if conservatives are gonna win, we need to energize people who are with us and we are the majority out there. But the plain and simple fact is we're not the majority if we don't go vote. And today is the day to do it in Wisconsin.
Steve Bannon
Brian, we got about a minute. The stakes here, the two seats, it's a six to two congressional Republican representation right now. Will that go immediately to 4 to 4? If we lose tonight, sir, I think.
Stephen K. Bannon
What will happen is they will do as they did two years ago, a third party left wing group will come in and challenge the map as they did two years ago with the legislative map. This time they'll challenge the congressional map and the Supreme Court. The liberals will have the votes. If Susan Crawford beats conservative Brad Schimmel today, they will have the votes to throw the congressional map out and likely two Republican seats with it. So if people are out there and support President Trump like I do and you do and others and think it's critical for him to have success to save America, it wasn't just last November. You have to vote today and get others to do the same.
Steve Bannon
Brian, you're a warrior. You led us to victory in November of 2024. Where do people find you today? What's your social media?
Stephen K. Bannon
Social media best is Ryan Shimming on both X and Truth Social. Visit me there. Join on today. I'll be doing updates all the way through today and tonight at Brian Shimming, this election is critical. It means the state. It also mamjee mean the majority in the House.
Steve Bannon
They'Re gonna impeach Trump if we lose that majority. Brian, we're gonna try to track down Brian Gibbin back on the afternoon show. Sir, thank you so much. Great fight.

Here's your host, Stephen K. Banner.
Steve Bannon
So you see in Wisconsin and Florida and also we haven't spent enough time on Capitol Hill. But folks, I think the wheels are coming off a little bit. Norman was up a congressman from and you know, he's a budget hawk. He was up talking about the kind of games they're playing. We keep saying you can't, you gotta stop the games. The games have to stop. Nothing but games. They're talking about debt ceiling increase of $4 trillion, $5 trillion. I can hear all the rhetoric and I hear all the talk. When you raise the debt ceiling to $5 trillion, when we raise $5 trillion, I kind of assume we're going to add $5 trillion more debt because we always have. So it's time now to have a frank conversation. And we don't need Polly Pockets Johnson running around. This thing is already going to be a train wreck, I can just tell. And we need to get this legislation through. First off, I think in the reconciliation, people got to be asking hard questions about the defense budget. Didn't we just pass a $900 billion defense budget? Are we telling me we're adding 150 billion, 175 billion to the defense budget? I don't know. Nobody can really explain it. Also the deportations of people, we have to have mass deportations. But is $170 billion. And if that's the case, then why are we not arresting people that allow this to happen? Where are the investigations of that? Where are the investigations? And doge with the fraud? If it's fraud, let's turn it over. Where's cash? Where's Pam Bondi? Where are people being arrested? Where are US Attorneys on top of this? That part of it? You got to support President Trump. You got to support President Trump. We need to know first off if there are real cuts and real fraud, we need to see it. We need to see it now. And we need to start Impounding it or using rescission, do one or the other. If they're going to go to court and take us to court, let's take them to court on something important and big. Let's give them something to suck on, like an impoundment. Let's go and start impounding some money. Home title lock. We need you at the ramparts. Hometitlelock.com, the triple lock. The triple $1 million triple lock protection. You get 24 hour coverage. They will notify you in the middle of the night if somebody's messing with your title. Because remember, that title is the only contractual thing that you have that says that you own that real asset called your home. That's it. People understand. They get in there, they can take seconds. They can sell it, they can monetize it, they can take seconds out. If somebody takes a second mortgage on your house, you're not going to be at the Ramparts helping people win in Wisconsin. You're just not going to have the time. The anxiety alone will eat you up. They also have the $1 million restoration. If all else fails, $1 million restoration. So home title lockdown, Steve. 25 is the promo code. Talk to Natalie Dominguez and the team. Do it today. I've got some legal. I'm going to go through here in a second because they're all over Trump coming on. This legal taking down. Trump's taking down the law firms. This law firm thing is absolutely central. Tej Gill and Taj is going to rejoin me at 6 because Taj is going to help me walk through how the American military lied to everybody. The Pentagon military has lied to everybody. British commandos, CIA, paramilitary, CIA officers, the military. All laid out in a New York Times piece that you hear crickets about everywhere. But it's a major expose on how we actually ran the Ukraine war from Wiesbaden military. American military base in Germany with Ukrainian troops. They were actually doing the fighting, we were doing the basically everything else. Taj, Gil and more than ever. I need a cup of coffee this morning, bro. I need another one. This show, this show might have been too intense for Steve Bannon. We start off with Natalie and it's been on fire ever since. I need some of my Warpath coffee. Mariners blend. Look at that new fancy packaging with it. Look at. I love that. Fantastic. What do you got for me, brother?
Tej Gill
We're up to 8,000 five star reviews on our website now and it's climbing every day. The website is Warpath coffee. If you're Part of the War Room posse. Use promo code War Room. It's literally the best coffee out there. People love it. All you have to do is read the reviews. And you can see the reviews are.
Steve Bannon
They're all real.

To break down the lies you were told about Ukraine. And you will be shocked about what your taxpayer dollars were doing when you were being lied to your face. Okay, we got massive issues on the legal insurrection against President Trump and his going on offense. They're in shock at cnn. Let's go ahead and play it.
Elliot Peters
Things we want to focus on tonight, in particular, the continued and unprecedented ways this administration is targeting attorneys in the Department of Justice and in private law firms. The New York Times reported yesterday about two firings recently at the Department of Justice. The headline reads, white House takes highly unusual step of directly firing line prosecutors. Quoting now, two longtime career prosecutors have been suddenly fired by the White House. And what current and former Justice Department officials called an unusual and alarming exercise of presidential power. According to the Times, the prosecutors from Los Angeles and Memphis were each dismissed with one sentence, emails giving no reason other than it was on behalf of the President himself. Now, the president, as you know, is two months into effort to use the power of his office against his former prosecutors, judges in the legal establishment, whether to advance administration policy, or in some cases, as apparent retribution for prosecuting him. His campaign against big law firms began with an executive order attacking a firm called Paul Weiss, after which it basically caved, cutting a deal to do $40 million in pro bono work for causes supported by the White House. Now, that was a first. The latest is Skadden Arps, which made a deal with the White House to the tune of $100 million. He's also gone after two firms that participated in investigations of him, Jenner and Block and Wilmer Hale. But it's the Scabbin deal, which proved too much for one former associate who quit in protest and said, why? Quoting now from Brenna frase, posting on LinkedIn. And today, the executive partner of my former firm sent us all an update that attempted to convince some of the best minds in the legal profession that he did us a solid by capitulating to the Trump administration's demands for fealty and protection money. Ms. Fray goes on to say, as one of my more eloquent former colleagues put it, do not pretend that what is happening is normal or excusable. It isn't. As an attorney, if my employer cannot stand up for the rule of law, then I cannot ethically continue. Continue to work for them. Now, on Friday, without naming the president, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor also spoke about the current campaign against the legal system.
Steve Bannon
Once norms are broken, then you're shaking.
Todd Bensman
Some of the foundation of the rule of law.
Elliot Peters
Op ed from the New York Times, Mr. Peters and his two partners issued a challenge to the legal community to push back on the administration. I'm quoting now, he said, we believe that one of the noblest things a lawyer can do is to stand up against the government on behalf of a client whom the government seeks to destroy. I can't.
Steve Bannon
We need to be on offense. The tariffs are going on offense on the geoeconomic reboot. We just found out the President. They're going to actually move the event tomorrow is moving to 4:00. I assume it's also going to move to 5. We're going to be covering it live all day tomorrow. But also. And I'm going to do a, a big conference tomorrow Also in Washington D.C. we'll stream that live. We'll get you all the information on all this. President Trump the difference now than the first term. We actually have the tools, the personnel and the policies that we've had four years to go on offense every day, not just to be on defense. I cannot emphasize enough with this audience to break the corruption system in this country that has basically stripped the wealth of the working class and the middle class and made you just glorified indentured servants. You must break these big law firms. And now the big law firms are almost inextricably linked with private equity. Going after Scadden Arpst and Paul Weiss is monumental. And remember when President Trump had talked about $100 million of pro bono. That's what they're taking away from the left wing groups. They were doing all this stuff for all this free legal at the top level. These are the best law firms in the country. President Trump needs to focus on the team over there. The next. The next target needs to be Latham and Watkins, formerly I think an LA firm that now is a powerhouse. Latham and Watkins. And it needs to be Latham and Watkins. And the Carlyle Group would have that corrupt David Rubenstein, who President Trump just threw out of the Kennedy Center. That needs to be a target. That's a rat's nest over there. The Carlyle Group and Latham and Watkins, you must go after that. We need to go on offense, offense, offense. Fight, fight, fight. Action, action, action on this. Brother Comstock's up. Now that I've pounded my coffee, I want to feel healthy. What do you got for us today? CEO of Sacred Health, one of the leaders of the make America healthy again, which we're merging into the MAGA movement, sir. We're going to combine. Tell me about, tell me about getting healthy. What do you got for us?
Trevor Comstock
Thank you, Steve. Appreciate you having me. So, real quick, I just wanted to share a little background on us and kind of our motivation for starting our company in the first place. But the reason why we created Sacred Human was to offer supplements that are clean, natural and made with integrity. And when we launched about a year ago, our goal was to provide people with high quality and affordable products while kind of breaking away from that big corporate mold that oftentimes prioritizes profit over health, as I'm sure you can all imagine. But unfortunately, a lot of these larger companies in the industry cut corners and they'll market their products as healthy. But if you take a closer look, you'll find preservatives, food dyes, binders and other ingredients that really aren't beneficial for your health. So on top of that, many outsource their production overseas, oftentimes in China, where quality control can be a bit questionable. So we kind of just took the opposite route and we ensure that everything's produced right here in the USA and we only use ingredients that we trust as well. And then real quick, I just wanted to touch on our flagship product which is our 100% grass fed beef liver. And what's amazing about this specific product is that it's one of the most nutrient dense sources on the planet, packed with vitamins and minerals. So for example, it has a ton of vitamin A which is crucial for vision, skin health as well as immune function, and then B vitamins which boosts energy and brain function. And then on top of that, liver is also rich in iron which makes it an excellent choice for preventing anemia and provides important trace minerals like zinc and copper that supports your metabolism. So in short, beef livers, if you take it regularly, it can do things like improve detoxification and promote overall vitality.
Steve Bannon

Elliot Peters
Lawyers and firms whose members have opposed or annoyed him is a threat to our democracy. Elliot Peters joins me now. Mr. Peters, why do you think President Trump's actions are a threat to democracy? And what are the consequences of other firms essentially giving in to Trump's demands?
Stephen K. Bannon
Because the president appears to want to punish law firms who have opposed his policies or who have done such things.
Steve Bannon
As represent people seeking political asylum?
Stephen K. Bannon
And he if, if lawyers are intimidated.
Steve Bannon
And don't bring cases and don't represent.
Stephen K. Bannon
People and valid causes, then judges.
Steve Bannon
That's a lie. That's, that's a lie from another lying lawyer. These law firms are corrupt. They're part of the big problem in the system of this country. We're taking the system apart brick by brick. Understand that we're not going to be defeated. We're not. Because the only way they defeat us if we quit. And we're never going to quit. That's one thing we have over our enemies on the left. They're quitters. We're not. They will curl up in the fetal position and suck their thumbs. We won't. We have resilience. We're antifragile, relentless. It's based upon courage. This audience. Let me go back to the beginning of the show when the left is on Rachel Maddow saying they're coming after the pillars of his support. That would be you. You are the bearing wall. You bear the load of the MAGA movement. And the MAGA movement is the most powerful pillar of the support of President Trump, the working men and women of this country, full stop. And they're coming for you, just like the Bolsheviks came, just like the French Revolution came, just like Mao came. It's one unbroken chain since. What is it, 1792 is it quite. Does divine providence work in mysterious ways in that amazing 20 years? You had both the American Revolution and you had the French Revolution, and they were kind of inextricably linked but led to two radically different outcomes. Think about it. Chris Hoare is with us, by the way. I have much more to talk about that this afternoon. And we're going to be covering all the election developments. Remember, we live in a democracy. You got to get out and vote Wisconsin, folks, I'm not going to kid you right now. We got to represent on game day. And in Florida six. Don't think Florida six in the bag at all. Chris Hoare, now more than ever, I needed you and Taj today to make me feel better. Taj talked to me, got me about my coffee. What do you. What do you got for the war room posse, sir?
Chris Hoare

You're absolutely right what you're saying that the Chinese recently patented a method of cutting subsea cables. And these subsea cables they've been cutting around, around all over Southeast Asia and off the coast of Alaska. And that cuts off Internet traffic and cell phone service.

Podcast Summary: Bannon’s War Room – Episode 4380: Taking The System Apart Starting With Corrupt Law Firms
Release Date: April 1, 2025
Host: Stephen K. Bannon
Podcast: WarRoom.org
Episode: "Taking The System Apart Starting With Corrupt Law Firms"
Introduction
In Episode 4380 of Bannon’s War Room, host Stephen K. Bannon delves deep into the systemic issues plaguing America, focusing primarily on the destructive influence of corrupt law firms and their entanglement with political adversaries. The episode intertwines discussions on national security threats, the fentanyl crisis, media manipulation, and the urgent need for political mobilization to safeguard American values.
1. The Fentanyl Crisis and Border Security
Bannon opens the episode with a fervent critique of the current administration’s handling of the fentanyl epidemic, positioning it as a weapon of mass destruction that has devastated communities, particularly along the southern border.
“We sat back for four years and allowed for a weapon of mass destruction to cross our border. Joe Biden didn't do anything about it. I think he actually aided and abetted the cartels.” ([02:33])
Kari Lake, a prominent guest and former Arizona gubernatorial candidate, elaborates on the human cost of the fentanyl crisis, sharing heartbreaking stories of parents who have lost children to the drug.
“We’re losing a generation of young people. President Trump is turning the corner, going after the cartels, putting on tariffs. We're going to have a better eye on what's coming into our country.” ([02:33])
2. Strategic Use of Tariffs to Combat Cartels
Bannon and Todd Bensman, a legal expert, discuss the strategic implementation of tariffs as a tool to disrupt the supply chains of cartels involved in fentanyl distribution.
“President Trump put these tariffs in emergency measures to go after fentanyl. Fentanyl's dropped dramatically.” ([05:20])
Bensman highlights the tangible impact of these tariffs, noting a significant reduction in fentanyl production and smuggling:
“The New York Times reported that fentanyl production has been virtually shut down completely as a result of pressure from Trump using the tariff.” ([07:15])
He emphasizes the collaborative efforts between the CIA, DEA, and Mexican authorities in dismantling cartel operations:
“The cartels have made a strategic business decision to not smuggle fentanyl into the US anymore because it's just too radioactive.” ([07:15])
3. Corruption in Law Firms and the Legal Battleground
A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to exposing the corruption within major law firms that have historically opposed or undermined Trump’s policies. Bannon argues that these firms are integral to maintaining the existing corrupt system.
“We are taking the system apart brick by brick. Understand that we're not going to be defeated.” ([46:00])
Todd Bensman further elaborates on the administration's aggressive stance against law firms like Paul Weiss and Skadden Arps, which have been coerced into providing pro bono work aligned with White House agendas.
“President Trump needs to focus on the team over there. The next target needs to be Latham and Watkins... We need to go on offense, offense, offense.” ([26:19])
He underscores the ethical dilemma faced by lawyers who must choose between upholding the rule of law and succumbing to political pressures:
“One of the noblest things a lawyer can do is to stand up against the government on behalf of a client whom the government seeks to destroy.” ([38:26])
4. Media Manipulation and the Fight for Narrative Control
Bannon criticizes mainstream media outlets for their role in perpetuating anti-MAGA sentiments and obstructing the dissemination of truth. He contrasts this with platforms like MAGA Media, which he claims are dedicated to exposing lies and fostering a truthful dialogue.
“The media landscape is transforming and the mainstream media is being pushed aside. The truth is getting out this fight. We are winning it.” ([21:14])
Kari Lake corroborates this viewpoint, highlighting the challenges faced by alternative media in countering the dominance of established networks:
“The mainstream media is being pushed aside. The truth is getting out this fight.” ([21:14])
5. Mobilizing for Political Change
A recurring theme in the episode is the imperative for grassroots political mobilization to effectuate meaningful change. Bannon emphasizes the critical nature of voting and engaging in political processes to support candidates aligned with their vision.
“If conservatives are gonna win, we need to energize people who are with us and we are the majority out there.” ([24:31])
He calls on listeners to actively participate in elections, particularly highlighting pivotal states like Wisconsin and Florida.
“What you need is to go vote today if they have not already.” ([27:05])
6. Legal Battles and the Future of Democracy
Bannon warns of a potential legal insurrection targeting Trump and his allies, asserting that the current administration's actions are a direct assault on democratic principles.
“The president appears to want to punish law firms who have opposed his policies or who have done such things.” ([45:40])
He stresses the importance of maintaining resilience and determination in the face of these challenges, portraying the battle as a fight for the very soul of the nation.
“We have resilience. We're antifragile, relentless. It's based upon courage.” ([46:00])
7. Conclusion and Call to Action
Bannon wraps up the episode by reiterating the urgency of the struggles discussed, urging listeners to remain vigilant and proactive in supporting the movement to restore integrity and strength to American institutions.
“We are not going to quit. We have resilience. We're antifragile, relentless.” ([46:00])
He reinforces the need for continuous effort and unity among supporters to overcome the entrenched systemic corruption and to secure a prosperous future for America.
