Stephen K. Bannon
Trump incredibly well and is a buddy of Pete Hexseth. We're going to get to more of the Pete Hexseth a little later in the show. We got a great cold open to try to encapsulate what has been not your typical Easter Monday. This is not who we thought we were going to be this morning at the Easter Egg Roll and then come back to it in the afternoon. That is not the case. Let's go ahead and start the cold open. Natalie G. Winters on the other side.
Donald Trump
And I just want to give a special thank you to our great first lady who organized this entire event. She worked very, very hard on it. She worked very hard. I said, what are you doing? She said, I'm working on the egg roll. I said, that sounds like a lot of fun. And we're going to have a lot of fun in just a couple of minutes. But you want to say, sir, about.
Natalie G. Winters
The signal chat controversy.
Mike Davis
You know what a big surprise that a bunch of a few leakers get fired and suddenly a bunch of hit pieces come out from the same media that peddled the Russia hoax. Won't give back their Pulitzers. They got Pulitzers for.
Stephen K. Bannon
Of lies.
Mike Davis
Pulitzers for a bunch of lies. And on hoaxes time and time and time again. And as they peddle those lies, no one ever calls them on it. See, this is what the media does. They take anonymous sources from disgruntled former employees and then they try to slash and burn people and ruin their reputations. Not going to work with me because we're changing the Defense Department, putting the Pentagon back in the hands of war fighters and anonymous smears from disgruntled former employees on old. Doesn't matter. So I'm happy to be here at the Easter Egg Roll with my dad and my kids because, you know, this is what we're doing it for. These kids right here. This is why we're fighting the fake news media. This is why we're fighting slash and burn Democrats. This is why we're fighting hoaxers.
John Yep
Hoaxters.
Stephen K. Bannon
This group.
Mike Davis
No, no, this group right here, full of hoaxers that peddle anonymous sources from leakers with axes to grind. And then you put it all together as if it's some news story. And when we. Exactly what it is.
Donald Trump
I mean, I hear they're doing that whole thing again. Here we go again. Just a waste of time. He is doing. He is doing a great job because he's doing a great job. Ask ask the hoodies how he's doing. Ask the hoodies how much Dysfunction is. There's none. Pete's doing a great job. Everybody's happy with him. We have the highest recruitment, recruitment numbers I think they've had in 28 years. No, he's doing a great job. It's just fake news it up stories. I guess it sounds like disgruntled employees. You know, he was put there to get rid of a lot of bad people and that's what he's doing. So you don't always have friends when you do that.
Gail McFarland
Right now the press secretary to President.
Stephen K. Bannon
Trump is saying that he is sticking by Secretary Hegseth.
Gail McFarland
At the same time, we've heard Democrats call for him to be fired or resign.
Stephen K. Bannon
And now we're hearing from Republican Congressman Don Bacon, the first Republican member of Congress, calling for him to step aside.
Scott McFarland
The market's reacting to Donald Trump's ongoing onslaught of personal attacks and smears on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. All three major stock indices experiencing major losses today. The Dow Jones down more than 900 points. The cause, the dangerous one man game of chicken that Donald Trump is playing with. The job of the Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Shortly after markets opened today, Donald Trump called on Powell to cut interest rates and called him a, quote, major loser, end quote. That smear came on the heels of Kevin Hassett, Donald Trump's director for the National Economic Council, telling reporters on Friday while markets were closed that the Trump administration is looking at possible ways to fire Jerome Powell. Powell has said in public, on camera that he cannot be fired by Donald Trump. He has said that publicly. But the ongoing attacks and this direct attack on the institution that undergirds the entire American and by extension world economies, the institution that investors here and around the world look to and trust, is leading to fears of a deepening economic crisis. New York Times reports this, quote, the U.S. dollar continued its slide against nearly every other major currency. It fell about 1% against the euro on Monday to the lowest in more than three years. The dollar also fell against the Japanese yen to its lowest level since September. The trend is even more stark against some other currencies. The dollar at its lowest, it has been against the Swiss franc in more than a decade.
Stephen K. Bannon
Senator, we are almost out of time, but as you know, tensions have been.
John Yep
Mounting between the President and the Fed chair. Would you support President Trump removing Jerome.
Stephen K. Bannon
Powell as Fed Chair?
Mike Davis
I don't think the president, any president, has the right to remove the Federal Reserve chairman. I think the Federal Reserve ought to be independent. I think that Jay Powell and President Trump need to sit down. And once again Have a hug and a cup of hot cocoa and work it out. My experience with Jay Powell is that he's got tiger blood. He's going to do what he thinks is right and he's not going to go down in history as the Federal Reserve chairman that allowed inflation to become wild as a March Hare. And he's going to do what he thinks he's got to do.
Donald Trump
I just signed an executive, executive order putting the flags of our country, all of them, all federal flags and state flags, at half mast in honor of Pope Francis. So he was a good man, worked hard, he loved the world and it's an honor to do that.
John Yep
We do want to mention here, we're.
Stephen K. Bannon
Just learning here at cnn, that President Trump will attend Pope Francis funeral that just in, posted on his social media. This is the primal scream dream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. There's no I got a free shot. All these networks lying about the people. The people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.
Natalie G. Winters
And where do people like that go.
Stephen K. Bannon
To share the big lie?
Natalie G. Winters
MAGA media.
Stephen K. Bannon
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.
Mike Lindell
War room.
Stephen K. Bannon
Here's your host, Stephen K. Banner. It's Monday 21st. April yearlor 2025. What a day. Easter Monday. You think it might be a little low key? We're going to, we're going to, you know, watch the egg roll. The Easter egg roll. I don't know. That was a story of itself. I think 40,000 want to give a hat tip to Rav, to real America's Voice. Great coverage of the pool camera today, which is an honor in and of itself, particularly for a network that's fledgling a new network last couple of years. But a big voice in MAGA punches way above its weight. So in every different direction, everything President Trump's trying to do, they are maximalist right now. And coming for President Trump to try to stop him, there's no other way you can say it. Whether it's the courts, that's the one way they found the courts, the media, the financial community, the bond market, the color revolution in the streets. You can take anything, you can take any vertical. He's working on Whether it's mass deportations or his action as commander in chief, everything about the unitary theory, the executive or Article two, as Mike Davis calls it, his responsibilities and his fiduciary responsibilities under Article 2 to perform. So everywhere we have this is a 30 front war, and we would love to narrow it down to a handful, but you can't. There's so much going on and some is not enough. The great Tom Fitton is out there and for cash and Bongino and Pam Bondi, we say this as colleagues that want to assist that a sense of urgency about these investigations, about the deep state. It's because we've got to get it done now. And that is so much what's coming after President Trump. Still, Pete Hexseth, who's a good man and a fighter, has already instilled kind of a warrior ethos in the military, if not in the Pentagon. The Pentagon and the military, two different things to what they call manage or run the building is very difficult. I could tell this, not just my time with President Trump in this city to try to get some semblance of rationality in the defense budget, but in the years I worked in the Pentagon for, I don't know, three and a half years, four years, when I came off of sea duty as a special assistant to the chief of naval operations, I got to see it at the highest level as a junior officer because I was working with the guys that ran the Navy at the time. You could tell to control that. And that was back in 1981 under President Reagan, who went out of his way to support the military and really rebuild the military after the Vietnam War and eventually took down the evil empire through a series of just brilliantly coordinated actions. In fact, the first film when I really got into filmmaking in the Face of Evil was off of Peter Schweitzer's book Reagan's War, which really told about how he took down the evil umpire. And it was quite sophisticated and quite brilliant. It took a ton of steel spine and a lot of thought and to be very smart. President Trump, the deep state is coming from President Trump like nobody's business. This is one of the reasons we're going to have John Yep. On later. Mike Davis is going to join us about the Supreme Court, about this kind of judicial insurrection. And Judge Justice Alito giving us a heads up about exactly what's going on. John. Yep. From concerned Catholics, Catholic Vote is going to be with us to talk about this situation. President Trump has announced he's going to go to the funeral Flags are at half staff. President Trump respects the institution, said some nice words there about Pope Francis. Clearly, the war room does not share those feelings with about Francis. We think, in fact, the exact opposite. We'll drill down more on that as the show goes on. Natalie Winters. Natalie, how was your egg roll today, ma'am?
Natalie G. Winters
Well, like I said earlier this morning, it was fantastic because there were no transgenders taking their shirts off. And we actually celebrated Easter and not transgender Day of Remembrance, whatever the heck that is. But certainly a hat tip to the White House. Just a wonderfully executed event. And I'll say this, Steve, I know we hear that everybody hates Pete Hegseth and that, oh, everyone doesn't have any confidence in him. Of all the administration officials that I saw earlier this morning walking around, he had the longest line of people, even kids, wanting to get pictures with him, wanting to meet him. And you could just see, which I think is reflected in the fact that we've what, the highest recruitment in 28 years. Morale is up, physical fitness is up. People like him. And despite the legacy media's best efforts, he's popular.
Stephen K. Bannon
No, Natalie, you've seen I want to get to this. You wrote an amazing op ed piece over in the Daily Caller. I want everybody to see it. And if Grace and Mo and make sure we want to push this out hard. Before I get to that, I do want to stick on this Pete Hexis for a second because it's the deep state. It's everywhere. It's everywhere. Marco Rubio is getting lit up over the weekend over the State Department. Why? Secretary of State Rubio has come up with a plan that President Trump signed off on to basically start to deconstruct the State Department and take down the kind of statutory limits like Kerry Lake's doing over voa. They so hate it. They did the old thing. They went back to an EO that was kind of in draft form a while ago and they leaked it to the New York Times. Lead story all day. Marco Rubio and Donald Trump destroy State Department. Pete Hegset destroying the, you know, their watchword. There is, it's out of control. It's spinning out of control. Chaos in the Pentagon. Derek Harvey shows up for onboarding. Just the meeting, the preliminary meeting to Onboard this Morning, CBS News, Jennifer Jacobs, who's a great reporter, White House correspondent, used to be White House lead correspondent for Bloomberg. She's got the scoop, the exclusive that literally the NSC had dictated to her about Derek Harvey. And then the whole city is, you know, and the intelligence Meeting. Oh, my God. And the headline is MAGA Friendly Intelligence Officer goes in to rebuild the NSC with MAGA friendly types. They are. They have thrown down so hard, Natalie, on stopping Trump at every aspect. The deep state is coming after him, are they not, ma'am?
Natalie G. Winters
Well, I think if there's anything we've learned from every single battle against congressional Republicans and crs, whenever you hear them attacking you as spreading or fermenting chaos. Right, the C word, that's something they love to hurl. Not only do you know that it's probably an op coined by elites, they're trying to make us scared of something that we really shouldn't be scared of. But more importantly, the chaos is welcomed chaos. It's joyful chaos. It's the destruction of the military industrial complex and the strengthening of our military with patriotic values and not dei. We can get into, I think the context who's attacking people. Pete Hikeseth after the break. But anytime you hear chaos, you should know these are the same people who want unity after President Trump was shot. I'll take chaos.
Stephen K. Bannon
I'll take chaos every day. Chaos with a capital C. Okay. Short commercial break. Powell, the Federal Reserve chair, the central bank, they're all over defending that President Trump. I don't know. Hassett, his head of National Economic Council, which is the equivalent of the NSC on the kind of the economic side, told the media, hey, we're looking at some alternatives. You never know. We're going to check it out. It's like running in 2028. Where there's a will, there's a way. That's what we say here in the war room. Gold finished at 34.40. Can't deny. Gotta give you the facts.

Scott McFarland
Court has ruled against the Trump administration once again on the issue of deportations. Now this case centered on a group of Venezuelan men being held in Texas. The White House wants to deport them without due process, but the court temporarily block that in an apparent 7 to 2 decision. Scott McFarland is outside the Supreme Court with the latest. Scott, good morning to you. What can you tell us?
Chris Van Hollen
Gail for now, the high court has halted more of these Alien Enemies act deportations, but it's unclear how long that halt's going to last. But it is clear the Trump administration is welcoming this fight. The Trump administration is asking the Supreme Court to roll back its decision temporarily blocking the deportation of Venezuelan migrants being held in Texas. The high the report's order came in the early hours Saturday after the ACLU said the migrants got this paper saying you've been determined to be an alien enemy subject to apprehension, restraint and removal from the United States. But Justices Clarence Thomas and Sam Alito dissented from the majority. Alito writing the court issued unprecedented and legally questionable relief. Among those deported last month using the Alien Enemies act was Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was mistakenly put on the flight despite having protected status. Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen met with him last week.
Stephen K. Bannon
I was there to make sure that he was still alive and check on his health.
Chris Van Hollen
Sunday, Van Hollen dominated the airwaves, blasting the Trump administration for defying a Supreme Court order to facilitate Abrego Garcia's return.
Stephen K. Bannon
My focus is not on one man. It's on making sure one man's rights are secured so that we can uphold.
Mike Lindell
The rule of law.
Chris Van Hollen
The administration continues to argue Abrego Garcia is in Salvadoran custody and denies it's defying the court.
Stephen K. Bannon
I stand by the fact. I think we did the right thing here. We removed a public safety threat, a national security threat.
Chris Van Hollen
While some Republican lawmakers acknowledged the mistake.
Mike Davis
The administration won't admit it, but this was a screw up. Mr. Garcia was not supposed to be sent to El Salvador.
Chris Van Hollen
A surprise over the weekend, Senator Van Hollen revealed before the Trump administration did, Abrego Garcia has been transferred from that terror prison into a nearby detention facility in El Salvador. Tony, the administration says even if released back into U.S. custody, Abrego Garcia is not coming back to the U.S. yeah.
Stephen K. Bannon
I'm not crazy about the not being a there or you're not there. Mike Davis. Tons of false information there. Here's my concern. Davis, and you called this with Judge Thomas and or Justice Thomas and Alito. Is there a civil war? First off, it was released at 1 o'clock in the morning on something this important. That sounded odd. Number two, I'm not sure. I'm not a lawyer. I don't pretend to play one. Although I've got a major case of a review en banc at the appellate court. It sounded odd. It didn't. It seemed like there were some pieces missing. And then he had Alito come out with this kind of sharp edge through a couple of elbows on his and that's not really his style. That much I don't think we have. Brewing a civil war on the Supreme Court about the direction of this country and the direction of the Trump presidency.
John Yep
Sir, this is a very disappointing ruling by the Supreme Court. Now remember, it's just a temporary order saying that the government can't ship out these Trend Aragua and Ms. 13 terrorists until the court further rules. But I don't know how the court even thinks it had jurisdiction to do what it did late on Friday night. On Good Friday, you had these ACLU plaintiffs who essentially put a self imposed deadline on the district court in Texas, giving the district court 45 minutes on Friday to rule. And then the ACLU move forward with an appeal to the Fifth Circuit which divests the district court of jurisdiction. And then the 5th Circuit has indicated it was getting ready to rule on this matter. And then the Supreme Court used the emergency dockets impermissibly. They didn't have jurisdiction to issue this stay under the All Writs Act. I mean Justice Alito's opinion is spot on. That the opinion that Justice Thomas joined to me, it is a total head scratcher that the three Trump justices who made many assurances to the Trump administration that they're gonna be constitutionalist and originalist and they're gonna follow the law. I don't think they did that on Good Friday. I don't think they did that when they failed to join this opinion. So you have to ask, why, why? Why was there such lawlessness and cowardice by the Supreme Court? And this is a very important question because this goes to the heart of the Supreme Court's legitimacy. President Trump campaigned on the fact that he is going to secure our border and he's gonna deport illegal immigrants. They are all criminals, right? He's gonna especially focus on trend foreign terrorist and Ms. 13 gangbangers. And President Trump is doing exactly what he promised American voters he can do, and he's following the law. It's these lawless judges on the district courts and now the lawless judges on the Supreme Court who are just making up the law as they're going. They're essentially becoming judicial activists, telling the president that he has to halt planes. How long are they going to hobble the president and his ability to get these foreign terrorists the hell out of our country? What process is due? And why are we so concerned about trende Aragua terrorists? Why can't they file habeas petitions? So here's the bottom line. This is what President Trump needs to do. He needs to round up all these illegal immigrants. He needs to detain them in Texas or Guantanamo or wherever he wants to detain them, and then they can sit in that holding pen until the Supreme Court figures out what due processes do to these people.
Stephen K. Bannon
My concern is deep. You're the constitutional lawyer. You come on, you do an amazing job. You work there. You were a clerk there. You were the guy that got us, you know, got people through. You worked for Grassley for years. You know the power politics of it. Here's my concern, brother. Is the Supreme Court starting to get rabbit ears? Are they starting to listen to the firestorm that's outside? Because this. The only way they're stopping Trump right now. To delay is to deny. They understand the federal courts. And this is just going to get them. You're going to see just. We came on here, Harvard dropped a suit against President Trump. You're now going to see dozens of suits every time we do something, because people feel that the Supreme Court blanked. They feel that the Supreme Court is saying, we don't want to touch this. Right? We want it to go away. Am I wrong there, sir?
John Yep
No. No, you're not. It depends on how they recover from this. They blinked when they let Judge Oli, this Biden judge who got jammed through in the lame duck session after Trump won the White House and Republicans won the Senate. They jammed through Judge Oli, who's still a Canadian citizen, by the way. I don't know how the heck that happens, but this guy sent $2 billion out the door under a temporary restraining order where President Trump could not do a national security review to make sure we're not funding Hamas terrorists in Gaza. Right. So that's where this activism really went on steroids that the Supreme Court blinked and they blinked again on Good Friday because somehow they think it's acceptable to tell the president of the United States through an all writs act where they don't have jurisdiction, that he can't deport trends. And I would say this. If the Supreme Court in 2023 wrote an opinion authored by Justice Brett Kavanaugh that essentially said that Joe Biden has the discretion to give amnesty to not follow our immigration laws, now they'll come up with a better legal way to say it, but that's essentially how he ruled that the president has the has the discretion to how he wants to handle immigration. Right. So if Joe Biden had the discretion to let in 15 million illegal aliens who have robbed, kidnapped, raped, tortured and murdered women and children in this country with trend Ms. 13 but President Trump does not have the discretion to reverse that and get these people the hell out of our country, we are going to lose our country if we do. If the president cannot secure our border from Ms. 13 vicious gang members and trend Aragua foreign terrorists who are working with Venezuela to sabotage our country, if the president at a minimum cannot get rid of that tiny slither of these 15 million illegal immigrants, we're not going to have a country left.
Stephen K. Bannon
No that check right now. Find out when that came across. President I think just put something up on truth Social and we get to in a second. So I'm a juggle some people. We're going to let you go Mike. I want to get this up and confirm that that just came across the Mike, I'm going to get back to this in a second because I think the president just put somebody on Truth Social. I want to read to you. I want to go to what's happening in D.C. courts on taking down the oligarchs. This is a historic week if nothing else, a historic week. We have in we have the Justice Department on top of Google in two separate major cases and you've got the FTC on top of Facebook and this is all to basically take these massive companies apart. How do we stand this week? Mike Davis?
John Yep
Look, President Trump started this this antitrust law enforcement against these big tech platforms in his first term. He saw that These big tech platforms, Google, Amazon, Facebook and Apple have gatekeeping power over information and commerce. They've abused it in the past. You cannot have monopolists on the free market. They are the cancers on the free market. So he brought the Google lawsuits, he started the investigations. He brought the Google search lawsuit, which the Biden Justice Department to its credit continued and won. You have the President Trump brought the online advertising monopoly lawsuit against Google, which is the lifeblood for Google. That's the most important one. And President Biden continue that. President Trump under Gail Slater and Pam Bondi just won that trial last week and now we're in the remedies phase. We have Andrew Ferguson, President Trump's FTC chairman has meta in trial. Mark Zuckerberg in trial to divest Instagram and WhatsApp from Facebook because that's an illegal monopoly. So it's really important. I give President Trump great credit. He is, he has fought off the critics and he is, he is continuing these lawsuits that he started.
Stephen K. Bannon
He's going after the oligarchs flat out. Don't give me the, don't give me the oligarchy tour on a party that has done nothing but build up the oligarchs. Trump filed Facebook in the closing days of first term. Lina Khan, the great Lina Khan made it actually a better suit and pass it on to Ferguson and he's drilling it. Man, you talk about bringing the country together. How could you bring the country? Mike, hang on. Major announcement by President Trump on True Story Social. We're going to hold Mike Davis over for a few minutes as we go through it. Even as we were doing the segment, the President states came out in full support of the Mike Davis War room angle of attack on this short commercial break.
John Yep
John?
Stephen K. Bannon
Yep, Traditional Catholic and Natalie G. Winners all next in the war room. Heard me talk about my Patriot supply because I trust them when it comes to my family's well being. And I just got word they're doing something they've never done before. Right now you can get the best selling mega 3 month emergency food supply for the same price as the standard kit. Now what do I mean by that? That's more than a $360 off of real beef, real chicken, plus farm fresh fruits and vegetables included at no extra charge. Even better, this kit now gives you 2500 calories a day more than any other emergency food supply I've seen. And let's be honest, when things go sideways, you're going to need more than just survival. You need strength, you need energy, you need Real food. This kit will be there when you need it, stays fresh for up to 25 years, and it ships fast and discreetly. If you've been waiting for the right time, this is it. Go to my Patriotsupply.com and claim your mega kit. While this offer lasts, that's my Patriotsupply.com war room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Ban. Okay, as we were doing that segment with the Viceroy, Mike Davis, President Trump put up a true social post as we were speaking, and I'm a quote for it. I'm doing what I was elected to do, remove criminals from our country. But the courts don't seem to want me to do that. My team is fantastic, doing an incredible job. However, they're being stymied at every turn by. By even the US Supreme Court, which I have such great respect for, but which seemingly doesn't want me to send violent criminals and terrorists back to Venezuela or any other country for that matter. People that came here illegally, the courts are intimidated by the radical left who are playing the ref. That's in quotes. Great Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito correctly wants to dissolve the pause on the deportations. He is right on this. If we don't get these criminals out of our country, we are not going to have a country any longer. We cannot give everyone a trial because to do so would take, without exaggeration, 200 years. We would need hundreds of thousands of trials for the hundreds of thousands of illegals we are sending out of the country. Such a thing is not possible to do. What a ridiculous situation we are in. Make America great again. Mike Davis, the Viceroy. Your thoughts, sir?
John Yep
Yeah. Remember, at the peak of this Biden invasion, there were 30,000 illegal immigrants coming into our country per day. There's just no chance you can have trials or even many trials for each one of these people. And think about it. Why would you need a trial? This is. The president has a constitutional duty to repel a sudden invasion as the commander in chief. And that is exactly what's happening here, is this is an invasion of America. This is an illegal invasion of America. And this idea that you can have this invading army of Ms.13 terrorists and trend Aragua terrorists and the president has to go through a district court proceeding to get them the hell out of our country. That's just not how our constitution is supposed to work. That as Justice Alito correctly pointed out in his statements about the court's ruling on Friday, this is lawless. What the Supreme Court is doing, it's also dangerous. They are sabotaging the president's ability to protect our country.
Stephen K. Bannon
Let me ask you, because you know these people personally, when someone that reveres the institution of the Supreme Court and the law has given so much of his life to the Supreme Court, calls it the decision lawless, how big a deal is that, sir?
John Yep
It's absolutely lawless. And I stand by. I stand by what I said. It's lawless. And it's also cowardice. In addition to being dangerous. There is no way that the Supreme Court had jurisdiction on Friday night to issue the order that it did. The district court had not ruled. The ACLU only gave the district court 45 minutes to rule, as if the ACLU is running the court, not the judge. This is on Good Friday. The fifth Circuit had not ruled. They're using the All Writs act at the Supreme Court, which is not applicable here. And there's just, there's no reason why the Supreme Court. This is what I want to say to these judges, these justices. And I've said this to them many times. Judges wear robes, not capes. It is their job to decide cases and controversies of the parties properly before them with redressible claims. That is their article 3 standing. They are not superheroes who fly around the country and right what they think is a wrong. That is not their job as a judge. They have a more modest but crucial job as a judge. And it's not to be a superhero, no matter how delusional they think they are.
Stephen K. Bannon
Mike Davis, where do people go for Article 3? Because they need to go to Article 3, get engaged. Because we need to get up and get our voice into the House, into the Senate, to let folks know exactly where we are in these issues. Sir.
John Yep
Yeah. And just one last point. I hope the Supreme Court justices understand this is the last chance to save our country. If we do not get these illegal immigrants out of our country, we're not going to have a country left to save. And you can go to article3project.org, article3project.org you can donate there, follow us on social media and take action.
Stephen K. Bannon
This is, I want to just one last thing for you. Bounce. And this is why I gave the speech in Pinehurst now over almost two years ago or a year and a half ago. And I said the convergence of having to cut, make major cuts from federal spending coupled with deportation, mass deportation of 10 million people. Mike, these are the easy ones. These are the ones that are not close calls. These are the ones that criminals, gang members raped. I mean, the worst of the worst. And look at what the Democrats are defending politically. Look at the side they're taking on MSNBC. You had a U.S. senator go down there and CNN braced him up over the weekend. Dana Bash just asked him a couple times, hey, you were there. Did you ever ask him he was a gang member? No, it's not about that. And then he gives some long winded answer on due process and she comes back, she goes, yeah, I understand that, but did you actually ask him? He was a member of Ms. 13 and the guy couldn't, Von Holland couldn't run away quick enough. Right. They don't want to face what the facts are, but go ahead, do they.
John Yep
See the MS.13 tattoos on the guy's knuckles? I mean, here's the deal with the Supreme Court. You're exactly right, Steve. This case is so easy. And the fact that the Supreme Court made this complicated shows you that a lot of these justices do not have the fortitude to do their job.
Stephen K. Bannon
Sir, thank you so much and thank you for Article 3, the Viceroy. Your efforts are amazing. Thank you, sir. Natalie Winters, your piece and type. President Trump. When you see AOC and now she's like the overwhelming, you know, polling lead to head the Democratic Party, hey, I love it. Do it. When she's doing the oligarchy tour and President Trump is taking down the oligarch apparatus in federal courts, one in Northern Virginia, one in D.C. on Google that take him apart in addition to Zuckerberg, with Zuckerberg being a supplicant to him, to take apart Facebook, it's heroic. No one's ever done that, ever. President Trump is doing it and doing it right now. Of course they don't want to talk about it, they don't want to give any credit. But it's, it gets back to also the platforms and the apparatus of censorship. This is the reason they could censor us, right? To take us to deep platform. It didn't stop the growth of the show, but this is what they try to do. Natalie Winters.
Natalie G. Winters
Well, and let's link it all together. I think the growth of new media, the growth of shows like War Room, is not just inextricably linked to the legacy media, not just failing at their jobs, but intentionally colluding and collaborating in some cases with government backed censorship operations. But it's a result of weak Republicans. Right. War Room wouldn't have to step up and stand in the breach if elected Republicans at every level of government were doing the things that, that we were actually hammering them to do. I think immigration is probably the best example of this. And that's sort of what we get into in this piece, which has to do with the idea that the same elites who for what, how many years couldn't cover anything going on down at the southern border, right, they didn't care about 10 million plus illegal aliens. Let's ask Bear Stearns. It's a lot higher than that. But now they're triggered by a couple of new media reporters entering the White House briefing room, right? The same briefing room that you need an ID to get in, that they have beautiful walls and security protecting them, right? These are the same liars who have hid behind really an Orwellian censorship industrial complex for how many years they've been calling our audience nativists and xenophobes for saying, you know what, sorry, in my version of the social contract theory, I don't think my own government should be working to replace me and suppress my wages with immigration policy. But now they have a couple of new media reporters, right, who have to stand on the side of the briefing room and they can't even compete. Right. I think an MS.13 member, I say this, truly, we saw the questions they were asking about Kilmar Garcia. He would be better received than most members of MAGA. They will treat MS.13 with more nuance, frankly, dignity, than they have members of the MAGA movement. And the way that they treated President Trump, it is absolutely, absolutely reprehensible. And it goes back to the core issue of why we all got involved in this fight. Just like the establishment Republican wing of the establishment wing of the Republican Party doesn't get to dictate what our policy is on immigration. The media elites who are all walking behind me and I hope they can hear me, they don't get to dictate what the American people are going to be force fed about, what the Overton window is going to be when it comes to immigration. I don't care about Ms. 13 members getting deported. I hope they have very uncomfortable flights. I don't care if they're on the wrong ones. I give zero. You know what? What I do care about is legal immigration getting these people deported. And that's what they should be asking about. Not acting like PETA commercial actors over an illegal triple threat, an illegal alien, a woman beater and a gang member. But I guess that's apparently who these people support.
Stephen K. Bannon
It's outrageous, disgusting. And I say the. For the Supreme Court folks, these are the easy ones. 10 million illegal aliens here, they all have to go home. Just have to. Natalie, before I let you Go in your social media. What table, what table you're sitting at at the White House correspondence dinner on. On.
Mike Lindell
On.
Stephen K. Bannon
On Saturday night. And have you already RSVP for all the highfalutin brunches that are taking place Saturday and Sunday?
Natalie G. Winters
Ma'am, I think I'd probably rather hang out with Ms. 13, and that says a lot. I won't be attending that, and I don't think I'm invited. But you know what I will say, Steve? Unlike the illegal aliens that are in this country, the 10 million, they may be going home. They're going to be leaving this country. New media, myself, war room. We are not going anywhere.
Stephen K. Bannon
Natalie G. Winters, where they go to get this great piece you put up on Daily Caller? I want everybody to read it. Where they go?
Natalie G. Winters
You can go to my Twitter, get the link. Natalie G. Winters, thank you as always, for having me.
Stephen K. Bannon
Yep. And thank the. Want to thank the Daily Caller. It's an amazing piece if Grace and Mo can push it. I want everybody to read this. Natalie, thank you so much. Appreciate you. Supposed to be a slow news day today. We're going to do the egg roll. Melania was fantastic there. Pete was great there. In fact, in the second hour, I want to play the Pete thing again. We're going to get into Pete Hegseth and all this. They're trying to put the White House under siege is not going to happen. John. Yep. You run one of the more traditional conservative Catholic organizations. We've got a couple of minutes here, and I'm going to hold you through the break. Your assessment of particularly the response of the traditional Catholic community to not simply the death of Bergoglio, but also the upcoming conclave.
Gail McFarland
Sir, I'm flashing a warning light right now because the most dangerous thing we have three options essentially, for the next Pope. Option one, we get a good guy, great guy, amazing. Like Leo the 13th. Right. Could be carnal.
Stephen K. Bannon
Burke.
Gail McFarland
Second option is from best to worst.
Stephen K. Bannon
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. I gotta stop this. I gotta stop. We're gonna hold. You hold it. We're gonna get Leo the 13th. That's an option. You're telling me that's an option? No, I mean, like on modernity. What?
Gail McFarland
No, no. So we would see him in a person like Cardinal Raymond Burke.
Stephen K. Bannon
Right.
Gail McFarland
So that'd be like the best option, perhaps Colonel Burke or Cardinal Sarah.
Stephen K. Bannon
Right.
Gail McFarland
Like, that's what we're all dreaming for, obviously. Right. Probably not going to happen.
Stephen K. Bannon
Yes.
Gail McFarland
The second option kind of thing and scenario is you have the absolute worst, like a cardinal perlin right. Secretary of State who orchestrated the China deal. But my point is the worst of the three option would be to get what appears to be just immoderate someone who's just going to treat us nicely and kick us in the corner. Behave that. I'm telling you, that is the danger light that needs to be flashing through every, you know, traditional or real Catholic around the world because it will lull us back to sleep. That's the problem.
Stephen K. Bannon
I want. Hang on, I'm holding you through the break. I want everybody to know I did not get a chance to talk to Yep before he came on. I think the world of these guys and their institution, but that's exactly the warning I was trying to give today to Liz your and to Posobec and to Ben Harnwell. It's not that we got we don't have to. We have to represent in a showing force. We're actually putting together a team that's going to cover this wall to wall from the Vatican and around the country. But John Yep. Just nailed it right there. The danger here for traditional Catholics is to be lulled into something where they have a moderate or this guy centrist or kind of right. And you just get put in the corner. Right now the traditional side of the Catholic Church is on fire. I mean the growth, the young people, the priests coming into it. Both the Latin Mass and other traditional Catholic groups are really taking a stand. They've taken a stand in the last couple of years and people have seen that fight for their religion and their church are rallying around it. The worst thing that can happen right now is lose that momentum, lose that fight, lose that dedication, lose the sense of urgency and your agency. You can't lose it. John Yep's going to join us on the other side. Short commercial break we're going to be back in the warm in just a moment.

Dear brothers and sisters, with deep sorrow, I must announce the death of our Holy Father Francis. At 7:35 this morning, the Bishop of Rome Francis returned to the house of the Father. His entire life was dedicated to the service of the Lord and his Church. He taught us to live the values of the gospel with fidelity, courage and universal love, especially toward the poorest and most marginalized. With immense gratitude for his example as a true disciple of the Lord Jesus, we commend the soul of Pope Francis to the infinite merciful love of the Triune God.
Natalie G. Winters
We're continuing to watch Vatican City this Easter Monday, where thousands have gathered to mourn Pope Francis, the first Latin American pontiff who passed away this morning at the age of 88, just hours after he made a surprise Easter Sunday appearance to bless the faithful in St. Peter's square. According to the Vatican Dr. Pope Francis died of a stroke and irreversible heart failure. We're going to talk about his legacy as a reformer, including his fight for a more inclusive Roman Catholic Church, his risk of political backlash, especially when advocating for migrants and directly criticizing the Trump administration, his condemnation of the wars in Gaza and Ukraine, and his continued warnings about the climate Crisis during his 12 years as pope.
Stephen K. Bannon
His pushing of pagan ideology. To be brutally frank, he brought the guys from, he brought the people from the, from the Amazon up to basically have a pagan ceremonies done. And Ben Harmwell nailed it. Today the pagans had more respect and more sincerity in their pagan rituals than Francis crew had with traditional Catholic rituals. John Yep, you're 100% correct. You're the first guy other than myself to nail this, which is they'll get lulled into which the media is going to drive. And I'll have more about this later. We're going to do it every day because this is central to the salvation of our country. The institutions are important and particularly the institutions of Christianity. Both the Protestant mainstream Protestant churches, which are pretty far Gone as being woke. The evangelical movement right now, which is such a powerhouse and such an underpinning of the MAGA movement, that's splintering. Probably 20% of the evangelical movement, or 10 or 15% at least of the preachers are woke or to the left in the Catholic traditional. The regular Catholic Church is a nightmare. It's the traditional Catholics that are coming back, particularly young people led by groups like yours. Yep. They're doing this. Yep. I want you to stay through six. But right now, what are your thoughts? How important is this the next 30 to 60 days for particularly these young people that are coming back into the church and really coming in as traditional Catholics, either converting or just coming back to their religion and the faith that they've lost?
Gail McFarland
Sir, note that statistic. We've had this huge influx of these traditionalists when. Ding, ding. In the pontificate of Pope Francis. Okay. A lot of us groups have risen up precisely during this time. They did not come about when a time where again, we had maybe a more moderate Pope. Right. So this has favored us in terms of rising up. We absolutely need that. I'm glad you also brought up crew. Pope Francis crew at the beginning of the segment. Who do we hear from? Cardinal Kevin Farrell.
John Yep
Okay.
Gail McFarland
He's literally the guy in charge of the Vatican right now. He is a former Legionary of Christ, my former order. Okay. This is the guy who drove Father Martial Martial and then was in an apartment with McCarrick for six years in D.C. okay. He's orchestrating things right now in terms of the lead up to the conclave. I highlight that, ask those details just to remind people what we're up against. Okay. They have a scheme in mind. Yes. God is greater. And we're going to use prayer and obviously the power of just public pressure, like we can as lay people to make our voices heard, but cannot, absolutely cannot have a moderate hope will put us back to slope because back to sleep 100%.
Stephen K. Bannon
Yep. Just hang on for a second if you can. In the next hour. We got so much to go through. Pete Hegseth also, Democrats are down outside of Seekot. You know, they're supporting criminal terrorists. It's unbelievable. The Democratic Party is so radical, plus Bobby Kennedy. There are many rays of light. There's so much good and positive stuff that is happening under President Trump. We're going to get on top of that. Particularly just amazing stuff coming out of Health and Human Services. Amazing stuff coming every department. These folks are working. And you should, if you want to pray, also pray for the team at the White House. Pray for the team. In these agencies, it is 24. 7. I'm back here and I'm tired. And I don't have 1/50 of the pressure you have in the White House or in these agencies right now. These folks are working 16, 18 hours a day and being attacked viciously in every aspect of their life. Mike Lindell, brother, you know what it's like. They're trying to put you out of business, put you in jail, bankrupt you, smear you. You're broke, you're crying in court. You're a broken man. Your company's terrible. Everybody's leaving. All your customers are leaving. All the big box stores. Any truth to that, sir?
Mike Lindell
Absolutely. Not everybody. We continue to fight, fight, fight, and to secure our election platforms. And the media likes to lie. Oh, he's crying in court and he's been ruined. What I told him was lawfare. They've been trying to ruin me with their lawfare, but it's not going to silence me. And what do we do when that happens, everybody? We run specials to the War Room when they cancel us. That's your game. And this is the last few hours of the one I ran over the weekend. My employees, every day, they make our feature product, which is my pillow Premium, now made with Giza cotton. And we've sold almost 84 million.

But don't believe the fake news. My pillow. They ain't going anywhere. And you know what, Steve? They can keep attacking. Don't you think They've learned after four years that I'M never going to shut up about these election platforms. You'd think they would know it, right? They don't care.
Stephen K. Bannon
They keep attacking. They don't care. They're there to destroy you. Look at how they're trying to destroy President Trump. It's unbelievable. Michael and Dale, we'll see you tomorrow morning.

Hope you're all doing well. My name is Trevor Comstock. I'm one of the co creators of Sacred Human. And I wanted to share just a little bit more about our brand. For those who may not know of us yet, but about six months ago, we decided to launch Sacred Human with really the simple mission being to provide American made natural supplements without all the artificial nonsense. So unfortunately, as many of. You know, a lot of these big corporate supplements will include things like preservatives, artificial ingredients, and other additives that really aren't benefiting your health. So that's why we created Sacred Humans, really trying to fill this gap of quality supplements. And of course, the beef liver being our flagship product. For those who don't know, beef liver is loaded with highly bioavailable ingredients such as vitamin A, B12, zinc, CoQ10, etc. And because it is 100% grass fed and natural, your body is able to absorb these nutrients far better than taking any other synthetic multivitamin or any other synthetic vitamin in general.
