Transcript

[Steve Bannon]

Elon Musk.

[Peter Doocy]

Who?

[Steve Bannon]

What happened to Elon Musk?

[Marjorie Taylor Greene]

Nothing. You know, he's upset that he's losing his EV mandate and accept. He's very upset about things. But, you know, he could lose a lot more than that. I can tell you right now. Elon can lose a lot more than that.

[Mike Davis]

We got your back.

[Steve Bannon]

And remember that the show is going to be bigger and better than ever. We got all kind of co hosts.

[Jeremy]

Nothing's going to change.

[Steve Bannon]

It's going to be incredible.

[Elon Musk]

Right.

[Steve Bannon]

Next man up. Right next man up. Next man up. Next man up.

[Ted Cruz]

Next man up.

[Steve Bannon]

Next man up. Next man up. It doesn't matter that I'm going to prison. If it took me going to prison.

[Kristi Noem]

Come here.

[Steve Bannon]

If it took me going to prison to get the House of representatives to reject J6 and now to actually start an investigation. To start an investigation. It's a victory, right?

[Mike Davis]

That is a victory. And that's what we have to do, Steve. We have to move the Republicans in the House of Representatives to act and actually do the job that the people voted for them and sent them to Congress do. People didn't vote for Republicans to go to Congress and do nothing. They voted for Republicans to do their job and sitting it around and saying, oh, we're going to wait. We're just going to wait. That is not good enough. And they're going to hear from people all over the country. This is multiplying the war room population posse by 10,000.

[Steve Bannon]

Steve, thank you so much. Look, this is a Democrat, hopefully 10,000%.

[Mike Davis]

Yeah, but look, this is a Democrat district. And where's the Democrats?

[Steve Bannon]

Where are they?

[Kristi Noem]

They're nowhere.

[Elon Musk]

Yes.

[Steve Bannon]

Look, folks, if it took me going to prison, girls, remember the reason I chose Danbury, I asked for Danbury for a very specific reason. Back in 19. The only other person that's ever been sent to prison for a congressional subpoena, not going to a House subpoena for contempt. Held in contempt was Ring Lardner Jr. Back in the 1940s during the House UN American Activity Investigation, Columbia Studio fired him, okay? Because of his political beliefs. And then he was found guilty. They sent it to the doj. He was sent to prison. He was sent to this prison. That's why I requested Danbury, because there's no difference in his fight than in our fight. I'm a political prisoner of Nancy Pelosi. I'm a political prisoner of Merrick Garland. I'm a political prisoner. I'm a political prisoner of Joe Biden and the corrupt Biden establishment. And you saw yet you saw on Thursday all the lies that they told, right? All the lies they told any. Any group, any group that would sit there and lie to you about the shape of the President of the United States with the national security element of that. Lied about the 2020 election. They've lied about COVID They've lied about everything that they've done to the American people. And they're not going to stop until we stop them. They're not going to stop. And the way you stop them is you do things this, hey, if they're going to send me to prison, it's not going to matter if we take this fight and take it up the next level. Okay?

[Marjorie Taylor Greene]

The rest, we got a lot of hostages back, but we're going to talk about that. I don't know. I think we'll have to take a. We might have to put Doge on Elon, you know? You know, Doge is. Doge is the monster that might have to go back and eat Elon. Wouldn't that be terrible? He gets a lot of subsidies, Peter. But Elon's very upset that the EV mandate is going to be terminated. And you know what? When you look at it, who wants. Not everybody wants an electric car. I don't want an electric car. I want to have maybe gasoline, maybe electric, maybe a hybrid, maybe someday a hydrogen. You have a hydrogen car, it has one problem, it blows up, you know, so I'm going to give that one to Peter. Gonna let Peter test it off.

[Steve Bannon]

Just released moments ago, the episode titled Steve Bannon's Battle for the Soul of maga.

[Peter Doocy]

In it, Bannon talks to Jeremy about what he says are the three pillars of the Make America Great Again movement. Free trade, immigration, and military intervention.

[Ted Cruz]

Always outspoken.

[Peter Doocy]

Fair to say Steve Bannon, particularly now.

[Ted Cruz]

Talking about Elon Musk and some of.

[Peter Doocy]

His frustrations with the president and his relations, relationships with people that Bannon and.

[Steve Bannon]

His allies view as oligarchs.

[Peter Doocy]

They're sort of the enemy of their movement, right? I think Bannon calls them the broligarchs. But the question that people like Steve Bannon have been raising about the direction of the MAGA agenda is who is this for, right? Is it for the Trump voters who put him there? Or is it from Elon Musk who also kind of put Trump there in bankrolling this large outside political operation? Right now, Trump has spent a lot of time listening to the people who have the money, the access, the influence to get a seat in the Roosevelt Room with him. What I think a lot of people in the populist right are concerned about is just how much Trump is willing to give away to appease interests like Elon Musk, interests like big donors, interests like big agriculture, like big restaurants, hospitality. Because we know they've been lobbying Trump to dial back on some of his provisions that are most important to the MAGA base, like the deportations industries got in Trump's ear and tried to convince him to roll back deportations. They got in his ear and they convinced him that it would be a good idea to bomb Iran. These things all kind of lead to a slippery slope where folks like Bannon are concerned that this starts to look like just another traditional Republican presidency after a while. I mean, if they pass a bill like this that cuts taxes as deeply as it has, as it. As it likely will for the wealthy at the expense of programs that benefit MAGA voters, like Medicaid. I mean, Bannon has said MAG is on Medicaid.

[Kristi Noem]

Right.

[Peter Doocy]

I mean, the voters are ultimately going to pay a price for a lot of what's in this bill. So it doesn't really, in a lot of ways, fulfill this promise that Trump has made that I am your voice. I am here standing up for you.

[Mike Davis]

I do want to thank Senator Cruz for the work and the time that he put in trying to find a resolution to this issue. I do appreciate that. But what we know is this. This body has proven that they cannot legislate on emerging technology. It is frustrating. We have not passed online privacy. We have not passed the no Fakes act, the Copied Act. There are all of these pieces of legislation dealing with AI that we haven't passed. But, you know who has passed is our states. They're the ones that are protecting children in the virtual space. They're the ones that are out here protecting our entertainers. Name, image, likeness of broadcasters, podcasters, authors. And it is appropriate that we approach this issue with the seriousness that it deserves.

[Ted Cruz]

And.

[Mike Davis]

And we have not reached a resolution on this. So therefore, I ask my colleagues to join me in striking section 40012. Vote yes. Let's pass this bill. Let's get off to July 4th and.

[Elon Musk]

A happy Senator's time is exp.

[Steve Bannon]

This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies, because we're going.

[Jeremy]

With the evil on these people.

[Steve Bannon]

Christians, I got a free shot.

[Jeremy]

All these networks lying about the people.

[Steve Bannon]

The people have had a belly full of it.

[Jeremy]

I know you don't like hearing that.

[Steve Bannon]

I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but.

[Jeremy]

You'Re not going to stop it. It's going to happen.

[Steve Bannon]

And where do people like that go to share the big lie? MAGA MEDIA I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my task and.

[Ted Cruz]

What is my purpose?

[Steve Bannon]

If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

[Elon Musk]

War ROOM here's your host, Stephen K. Banner.

[Steve Bannon]

It's Tuesday the 1st of July, Yervillord 2025. We are jammed this morning. We're going to start with the great Congressman Marjorie Taylor Greene. Senator Blackburn, yesterday in, in Tennessee, heroically went to the Senate floor to fight this. No compromise on artificial intelligence and the bologna mtg. Been fighting this fight for weeks. Actually told the President, who you totally support that. Hey, as much as I love you, as much as I support you, I cannot vote for the big beautiful bill if it's got this in it, folks. Last night with Mike Davis and the team. Incredible, 99 to 1 against it stripped out mtg. It also shows you how the Berlagar's been lying to President Trump. They told him, I think at 10 o' clock, 11 o' clock last night we only had three votes. Your thoughts? And by the way, we had to play that clip from one year ago today when MGMTG was breathing fire outside of Danbury Prison. And you know what, Congressman? You could make that same speech today. You could make that same speech today. Ma' am. How you doing?

[Kristi Noem]

Good morning, Steve. Yeah, evidently I could give that same speech this morning. It's out. It's outrageous that that's the case. And you would have thought that we would have totally turned a corner from that horrific moment in time. And you served four months in prison after that. That was the day that, that we all surrounded you, prayed for you and sent you off sadly to prison. You were a political prisoner. And God bless you, Steve. We're so glad that you were freed and God bless everyone listening to this, that we won the election so that we could defeat the war, the real war that is still being waged. But we won a big victory in November. But the war is not over. I just want to thank Marsha Blackburn. Senator Marsha Blackburn. She did an incredible job. She has not had any sleep yet. She stayed up all night long fighting to get the AI moratorium out. And I'm really grateful for her fight. I was engaged with her on the phone all day yesterday and the early morning hours of today on this issue. I had told the White House I couldn't vote for, I couldn't vote for it. There's no way because we get a vote again. Everybody needs to understand that that comes back to the House and we get to vote again. There's no way I can destroy state rights and there's no way I can let AI have free rein and the potential destruction that it could have for 10 years without states being able to protect themselves and the people that live there and their jobs and their children. And it was too big of an issue to get me to a yes on. And I was, I'm just thrilled. And 99 to 1 that does show you that, that there's some voices in the President's ear that are not telling him the truth. And you know what they're, you know who they're serving? They're serving these donors, these big rich donors that have their very special interests in mind that came around during this like so this last election cycle, Steve, because they knew Trump was going to win. Trump won with the people. He didn't need these donors and he doesn't need them now. And we need to continue to stay focused on this. He doesn't need. The neocons are all around him pretending to support him. He doesn't need the neocons. He defeated the neocons. He doesn't need the deep state. The deep state is surrounding President Trump now, pretending to support him. He doesn't need the deep state. He has the people and the people, we are going to be victorious. But this is a war that we have to stay embedded in for a very long time and we have to make sure that President Trump gets the correct information and that the people's will and the people's voices are heard. And that vote 99 to 1 is an exact proof that the people are winning. Because without the people calling, without all of you listening, all of the war room posse calling into members of the House and senators offices every single day like you have been, this couldn't have happened. All of your posts on social media, you can override the paid influencers, you can override the bots. So you have to stay focused and stay in this fight and this is how we win it. But humanity is safe for now. But I promise you Steve, that AI moratorium and maybe worse will come back. We just have to watch for it.

[Steve Bannon]

Congressman, what is your social media? You're now a fire breathing liberal of fire breathing opponent of the broligarchs. And most importantly, most importantly, you told the president, hey, I love you, we support you, I'm maga. But if this is in it's got to come out. And he listened. Marsha Blackburn and MTG heroically stood in the breach when everybody else was running and said this can't happen and that's why we won. Where do people go to get your social media, ma' am?

[Kristi Noem]

Well, a couple of things, Steve. I am posting up a thread today. I've already started it. Of contents of the bill, the one big beautiful bill as President Trump calls it. And I've already loaded it. I've started it. I want you to know there's an important post that starts with with over $9 billion.

[Steve Bannon]

Hang on, hang on. I want you to stick to a commercial break. I want to get to this thread. This thread is very important for people today, particularly as this vote goes on the Senate. Short break. Congressman mtg Mike Davis also from the Treasury Department. They're going to come over and walk us through what these numbers really mean about economic growth. All next in the war room.

[Kristi Noem]

I got American, baby.

[Marjorie Taylor Greene]

America.

[Jeremy]

This July there is a global summit of BRICS nations in Rio de Janeiro. The bloc of emerging superpowers including China, Russia, India and Persia are meeting with the goal of displacing the United States dollar as the global currency. They're calling this the Rio Reset. As BRICS nations push forward with their plans, global demand for US Dollars will decrease, bringing down the value of the dollar in your savings. While this transition won't not happen overnight, but trust me, it's going to start in Rio. The real reset in July marks a pivotal moment when BRICS objectives move decisively from a theoretical possibility towards inevitable reality.

[Steve Bannon]

Okay, right there. Welcome back folks. Right there you see the Senate floor. Thune has just announced he thinks he's got the votes to pass the big beautiful bill. I think all the amendments have stopped. They're going to have I think a series of votes. They've given people a 15 minute heads up to come back for the first of the Star of the votes and then I think they'll move fairly rapidly. Says he has a deal now. We're going to cover this quite closely. MTG Go through right now you've got a open thread on Twitter and where do people go for your, your Twitter account? Because I want people to follow along here. We're going to put it up on the screen. But where do people go to get you on Twitter?

[Kristi Noem]

Rep. MTG that's where you can follow the thread and I'll keep adding to it. But Steve, I've exposed this is something that hasn't even been talked about that I know of is 9.995 billion for going to the moon and moon to Mars missions. And you know what I think Americans are saying? They walk out in their cities and their towns and they look at their checking account balances and they look at the cost of groceries and they look at the cost of health insurance and they look at the cost of life in America, especially these 20 year olds. 20 and 30 year olds are seeing no hope in their future. And everyone's asking themselves, we haven't fixed America yet, but taxpayers are supposed to fund 9.99 billion for the moon and Mars. And then we have this Elon Musk, President Trump feud turning into a war between each other and talk talks of a third party being created. I'm sorry, this doesn't fly with me. MAGA is the new party and MAGA is defeating the old establishment and the Republican Party. And I think that's incredibly important. And this is, I don't know, Steve, if any other member of the House or any senator talked about this. Over $9 billion, almost $10 billion going to the moon and Mars. But I think I'm the first one that talked about it. But I'll keep adding to this thread that everybody can follow. So, you know, I'm doing my best to get the information out, but I think this is where we need to start really having real conversations and not, and again, not funding what these special interest donors that were new, new to President Trump that all came around towards the end of the election cycle when they knew Joe Biden was done and they knew Kamala Harris couldn't win. This is what we're up against now and it's ridiculous.

[Steve Bannon]

So right now is, is as you see it, there's huge differences between what they're passing in the Senate and what you did in the House. Are you guys just going to rubber Stamp this. Johnson's saying he's going to take a right to a vote. Do you anticipate that some of the folks in the House are going to want to say so right now? Still very confusing about illegal aliens on Medicaid that the parliamentarian may have taken out versus the fact we're taking Medicaid away from American citizens and maybe still paying for illegal aliens. Is the House going to rubber stamp? This is going to be like a 24 hour turnaround, ma' am.

[Kristi Noem]

I cannot imagine. No, no, I can't imagine. They have the vote. There's no way that Johnson has the votes in the House for this. So just for clarification, my understanding is currently in the Senate bill that has not passed yet. Illegals cannot receive Medicare. However, they can receive Medicaid, which is absurd. So we know blue states will still continue doling it out where red states will likely not dole it out. I did find clarification because I've been watching it the entire time. There is no funding through Medicaid and CHIP to go to child sex change surgeries and hormones and all that garbage, that incredible lie attack on our children. So that will not happen. However, this bill is nowhere near perfect. It's got a lot of stuff in there that just shouldn't be in there and we're $37 trillion in debt. It's unbelievable to me that all of this stuff has been packed in and I don't see how currently right now the votes are in the House.

[Steve Bannon]

MTT One more time your social media. We want everybody get on her thread today. She's going to be updating it constantly to get an understanding of what' this bill, where do they go?

[Kristi Noem]

Rep. MTG that's my official account on X. I'll continue loading it throughout the day. And we're, we're continuing to watch the Senate to learn completely about what the final version of the bill to be. We are told that we're supposed to be back Wednesday morning to start voting at 9am I think that is not realistic. I just don't see how that's possible. So this is, I think it's far from over. However, Steve, I do want to reiterate, we've got President Trump's back, I've got his back. There are incredible things and the tax provisions in this bill that must pass, it's non negotiable. Also the border security and deportations, those things must pass, they're non negotiable. And this I want to, I want to tell everyone clearly that this bill may be the only true victory. Once we get it right, once we can get it to a good point, it may be our only real victory, this Congress. Because there are whispers, and the whispers are getting louder and louder in the House that we are being told that they're going to give us another CR on September 30th. And if that's the case.

[Steve Bannon]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What's that whisper about? What?

[Kristi Noem]

Yeah, the CR V. So, government funding.

[Steve Bannon]

Oh, my God.

[Kristi Noem]

Yeah, it's, it's, that is, that's absolutely, That's a non starter. They're just the non starter. And Steve, that, that should make everyone furious. And so this, this bill. So we have to, we have to be realistic. There's things in it we have to have. I mean, everyone agrees President Trump, many of his campaign promises are in there. We have to have them. The tax cuts, we have to have the child tax credit, we have to have the baby savings account, we have to have all of these things. For businesses to be prosperous, the tax part is incredibly important. The estate tax has been made permanent at 15 million. That helps small business owners and farmers. Like, there's so many things in here we have to have. Also the border security funding, the deployment. I mean, we have to support President Trump and those things. But it's our duty to make sure that we aren't funding special interest pork projects that we aren't funding, you know, freaking Medicaid for illegals that makes virtually no sense whatsoever. And anything else we find in there that just shouldn't be spent because we're $37 trillion in debt. There's things we have to have President Trump's campaign promises, we have to support the president there, but we don't have to do these other things. And it's the responsibility of the speaker of the House and the leader in the Senate to make sure that we're sticking with the campaign promises. And so when you see people like me coming out and arguing these points and fighting against funding and voting for garbage, it's not me going against President Trump, it's me going against establishment Republicans that really never supported the president and his agenda in the first place. And it's about fighting for the MAGA agenda, just like the people listening to your show and watch your show every day, and people beyond that that do not want to continue to see Congress vote for these things and fund these things. So this is incredibly important, but it is really a dire situation. We're on a time clock that's been really set on us. So we have a lot of pressure. And then also given the fact that there's 435 members of Congress and it's hard for to get to an agreement on anything. So this whole thing is. I don't know what to call. It's a show and I'm sorry for saying that. I know we're not supposed to say that on the air, but that's truly what it is. But we've got to make sure that we support President Trump and get the great campaign promises across that he promised to the people and that we all promised. I campaigned on those things too.

[Steve Bannon]

Congressman Greene, Marjorie Taylor Greene, thank you so much. Incredible. We'll be looking at your Twitter throughout the day, hopefully maybe get you back this afternoon. Thank you, ma' am.

[Kristi Noem]

Thank you, Steve. I appreciate it.

[Steve Bannon]

One of President, one of President Trump's fiercest defenders. So, Mike Davis, let's hit rewind because I think what MTG told us all is going to be exposed in and revealed in this effort yesterday. You came on at 10 o' clock yesterday morning on the war and start off at 10am where were we with the oligarchs and the artificial intelligence moratorium?

[Elon Musk]

Sir, we were a certain passage of this 10 year AI amnesty for these trillion dollar big tech monopolists, especially Google and Meta. And then the war room posse teamed up with the Article 3 project like we've done so many times in the past. And we gave the Senate another attitude adjustments. We did these war room hits and we had 3,000 activists make over nine take over 9,000 actions, emails, phone calls, social media to both of their home state senators. And that's the key is your own home state Senator. No one, no senator cares about what some constituent to another senator thinks. They care about their own constituents. And so we target it constituents to their home state senators. Even at late Last night, around 1:00am Last night, the main proponents of this AI amnesty in the Senate thought there would only be three Senate Republicans who would who would strike this AI amnesty out of the one big beautiful bill this bill ended up this motion to strike pushed by US Senator Marsha Blackburn from Tennessee, a hero and all star on this who is fighting to protect kids creators of online content, all content along with conservatives who have been censored, who have been targeted by big tech for so many years. Marsha Blackburn is the hero in the Senate. Marjorie Taylor Greene is the hero in the House. What they they thought there were only going to be three Senate Republicans who voted to strike this amnesty. It went down 99 to 1, including the main Senate proponent voting against his own AI amnesty.

[Steve Bannon]

[Marjorie Taylor Greene]

War room here's your host, Stephen K. Banner.

[Steve Bannon]

Joe Lavornia from one of the top economists over at the Special Counsel to the Secretary Treasury. We've had Joe on before. He's going to join us a moment. We're going to walk through the math as this very important vote starts because I think there's a lot of confusion in heaven having the chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors on yesterday from the White House. I think went miles in trying to show people what the real math is here. Mike Davis, I just want the Warren Posse understand this because they moved heaven and earth yesterday with the Article 3 team project team at 10 o' clock in the morning. And we had been talking about this for weeks and weeks and weeks and MGG have been coming at weeks and weeks and weeks. This was in the bill and even late in the after in the evening, Ted Cruz kind of mocked us by saying, well they've got three votes but it's a long night ahead. Right. They thought they had this one. Even in the early morning hours, after midnight, they thought they had this one. At 4 o' clock in the morning there was a 99 to 1 vote which shows you no senator when exposed, wanted to be near this thing. This is the kind of radioactive vote that they don't want attached to their and the only guy that voted for is Tillis who's leaving and needs a job as a lobbyist. Obviously with AI it is the shift in this from actually being a done deal after weeks and weeks and weeks. That's how powerful The Prologar to 99 to 1 against, you know what, 16, 17, 18 hours later. Walk us through that, sir.

[Elon Musk]

Yeah. 10:00am this was a done deal for the AI oligarchs. They thought they were going to get 10 years of amnesty. They worked on getting a deal with Marsha Blackburn who, who opposed them on this. And she's been a fierce warrior. I know she's going to try to come on your show after the vote. She's, she's been great on this. She was able to work out because they thought this was just inevitable. So she was trying to cut her losses. And so she went from 10 years to five years. And there was some, some language that, that purported to protect kids, creators, conservatives from censorship. But as we pointed out on the show yesterday, that language was largely hollow. And so we went back to Blackburn. I worked very closely with Senator Blackburn's chief of staff all day, all afternoon, all evening. I'll give Katie Lane a shout out. She's one of my good friends. Her husband, Bill Lane used to volunteer for the Article 3 project as a lawyer. Now he's a nominee to be a top Pentagon lawyer. I worked very hand in glove with Katie Lane and Grace and the War Room Posse and Steve Bannon and we worked with the senior members of the White House, maybe the most senior member of the White House, maybe, just maybe we made sure that, that the administration didn't get duped by the tech bros and weigh in in favor of this AI Amnesty. And then that created the the opening late last night for Marsha Blackburn to strike. And there were the the main proponent of this thing, of this AI Amnesty said they had three Senate Republican votes. And as I pointed out last night I posted the dam is about to break. And sure did that dam break. It was 99 to 1. The main proponent in the Senate voted against his own AI Amnesty. And so this tells you the power of the War Room Posse teaming up with the Article 3 project. We pulled the rabbit out of the hat on this and it is a remarkable win for America. This is good for kids, this is good for creators, this is good for conservatives who would have been censored. This is section 230 and antitrust amnesty that we saw over the last 15 years. This AI amnesty is that on steroids. They would have crushed us and we stopped it.

[Steve Bannon]

And folks, this is about battles going forward. It is not. There are no coincidences, folks, that one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse on AI is Elon Musk. The Tesla, the company Tesla making cars is imploding. He's trying to shift it to an AI company. It shouldn't be lost on you. His fight against President Trump has nothing to do with debt. Right? Nothing to do with that. His, his, his, his immaturity. Even talking about how you go about it, it's a huge problem. As you know, we've been fighting this thing on, on War Room. His immaturity in doing it shows. It's just he's a clown. This is all about he got cut out of ev. He got cut out of his subsidies. He's also he understood where President Trump stands and having the back of the American people who are very concerned about AI it may have tremendous benefits. It's clearly going to be in every part of life. But the American people want to have a say so in this, right? The little guy says, hey, I think, I think my voice ought to be heard. That was what yesterday was. And remember when exposed every member of the Senate septillis who's already announced he's not running again, every member voted with us to say no, we shouldn't do that. Right. This was something they had locked at 10 o' clock in the morning. It was one of the biggest flips I've ever seen. And the reason is they understand how toxic some of these Berlagar policies are. Mike Davis Great work. This is also not a culmination, but this is. You've been warning and fighting about this for years. This is what the whole Internet Accountability Project was about, was it not, sir?

[Elon Musk]

Our sister group, the Internet Accountability Project. Look, we started the first group on the right through the Internet Accountability Project to take on the trillion dollar big tech monopolist, Google, Amazon, Facebook and Apple on section 230 immunity, antitrust amnesty, data privacy now AI amnesty. We have. We were laughed at when we started this thing more than five years ago. I started it with Rachel Bovard. Gail Slater at the Antitrust division may have had a hand and this, she may have been the brains of all this. We have been kicking big tech's butts for years. We're going to continue to do it every day. We made sure that Trump, President Trump pursued Meta with the FTC case he brought in his first term and took FTC to trial when the brologarchs were trying to get Trump to dump that case. We stopped the brologarchs from stealing everyone's copyright by installing a puppet as the Librarian of Congress and the Register of Copyrights. We stopped the Trump Justice Department from filing an Ambicus brief or a brief supporting this outrageous position that stealing everyone's copyrights for their AI machines so they can profit is somehow fair use under the copyright laws. We just, we just crushed them last night with the come from behind victory 99 to 1 on this 10 year AI amnesty. I would say just this to the tech bros. We don't care how many lawyers and lobbyists you hire. The Article 3 project and the War Room Posse were lean and mean and we are going to kick your asses every time.

[Steve Bannon]

Mike Davis where do people go to find out more about Article 3 and everything we're working on, sir.

[Elon Musk]

Yeah. So those 3,000 activists from the Article 3 project in War Room Posse who made 9,000 contacts on this AI embassy, you're the heroes of this and that's where you should go. Article3project.org article number 3project.org you can donate only what you can afford. We're not grifting. Follow us on social media and let's, let's put the pedal to the metal and run them over on this AI embassy. So light up both of your Senators on this AI amnesty and make sure they understand we're still watching. They're not going to include this and what the Senate calls the wraparounds bill at the end where they add it back into the ends. We're going to make damn sure this doesn't get through. If you want, if you want an AI bill, you need to do it through regular order. 60 votes in the Senate, a majority in the House. Present it to the President, he signs it, you have all the stakeholders involved, but you don't do this AI amnesty through this back room deal.

[Steve Bannon]

We have a national debate which is many of these policy. We have to have a national debate on this, including the dollar being the prime reserve current many things, many fundamental issues. Mike Davis, great work. You're a fighter. And I would just say for AOC and Bernie, your oligarchs tour, we're actually taking on the Oligarchs. You're doing performance art and for Mondame up in, up in New York City, it's more performance art. We're actually inspired by Lina Khan and so many people, the left and the right have come together to take on the oligarchs. We understand it's a threat to the American people, but you've got to work together and you have to work smart and you have to focus on important issues, not AOC and Bernie running around just yammering. Oh, the oligarch story, they haven't done anything about it. They haven't talked about any of these important issues and they're not prepared to do the work. This is hard, grinding work. That's why Mike Davis and the team at Article 3, also the Internet Accounting Project, also over the FTC, SEC, the FCC, Gail Slater. This is a grind, but that's the only way you're going to beat the oligarchs is you're going to have to grind them. And. And we're fully on board to grind away, sir. Mike Davis, once again, heroic 24 hours. What a day. What a difference a day makes, sir.

[Elon Musk]

And a shout out to FTC chairman Andrew Ferguson, who's also been a hero in this fight.

[Steve Bannon]

So thank you, Steve Major, by the way, Andrew Ferguson, now he's got. He's got the zuck in court to break up Meta. A lot of people talked about it. Andrew Ferguson's in federal court doing it. That's what I mean by grind. Thank you, sir. Appreciate.

[Elon Musk]

Thank you.

[Steve Bannon]

One year ago yesterday, One year ago today. Danbury, right? That's what this fight's all about. Next man up. You Got so many powerful people. There's so many folks stepped up here in the show. I'll talk about next hour but also just everything. We took the oligarchs down overnight. Joe Lavon. So Joe, take us top. We got about three minutes here. We're going to hold you through the break. Everybody. You know Elon Musk is saying he's starting a new party. You know, here's what I love. A guy starting the America party is not an American. I'd love a South Africa. Hey yo dude, go back to South Africa. Start the South African party. Sort your own country out, right? Stop trash talking President Trump because you got cut out everything. Joe, what is it? Take a couple of minutes and we'll hold you through the break. Give you a bigger segment. Next, next, next segment. But what is the basic thesis of how we address the Elon Musk and guys, the world saying oh we're not cutting debt or not cutting the deficits enough would that they don't buy into your, your, your Secretary Besson and the president's growth plan?

[I]

Yes, as Secretary Bessant has said, Stephen, and certainly President Trump, you need to grow. The economy needs to expand. And the provisions, the tax provisions in the one big beautiful bill, especially on the small business side, the increased appreciation and expensing as well as a new additive which is 100% expensing for plants, meaning actual factories, is hugely pro growth. It's very supply side additive. Even reducing tax on seniors. That's going to encourage them to enter the workforce where participation rates are low. No tax on overtime. Again, the marginal dollar becomes more valuable when you're not being taxed on it. All those policies will generate faster growth. Without growth, you have nothing. If this bill is not passed, you'll have the largest tax hike in U.S. history. The economy will slow markedly. In particular, it will hit middle and lower income households. There's never been an example ever in US History where we have cut spending massively at the same time, hike taxes massively and generated growth. It's got to be done properly. But certainly on the growth side which, with, with which we could control, we've got to push that. And these policies that the president is putting forward that Secretary Besson has articulated very well will give us that.

[Steve Bannon]

Hold on, hang on one second. We're going to. Let's go. Hang on one second. The president's just arriving in Florida to go to Alcatraz. Alligator. Alcatraz. Let's go live there right now, see if we can pick up any sou. Okay. That's the President with DeSantis. Governor DeSantis is coming over. I think you may say something to the press. Let's go ahead and listen in.

[Marjorie Taylor Greene]

Trip was nice and the job they've done is fantastic. And this is what you need. And Ron worked beautifully with Christy and all of the people at Homeland Security Security. And got it done in how many days?

[Ted Cruz]

Eight days. All a new facility was up and running. So it's just a model going forward, Mr. President.

[Marjorie Taylor Greene]

It can be. I mean, you don't always have land so beautiful and so secure. They have a lot of bodyguards and a lot of cops that are in the form of alligators. You don't have to pay them so much. But I wouldn't want to run through the Everett Glades for long. We'll keep people where they're supposed to be. This is a very important thing. We're setting records at the board. You know, we had no people come through last month. Zero. No people. But we're going to keep it that way. So Ron did great.

[Steve Bannon]

And I want to thank.

[Ted Cruz]

Well, look, We thank you, Mr. President. Thanks for your leadership. The border. You did that quicker than we knew you'd do it. But you did it so quick, which is great. But Biden let in how many millions and you got to take care of them. And so this is one example of state operating this. The feds are approving it, supporting it. We're also going to have 2,000 more at camp Blanding, which is our National Guard site. And we're the only state in the country that mandates our state and locals law enforcement to cooperate with ice. And it's made a huge difference. On any given day, Florida constitutes about 20% of all immigration arrest nationwide. And that's just because of the partnership that we have. So I think it's great that the president's here. What I would just say is don't let Florida be the only state. We've got very red states that should be doing this just as much as Florida is doing. That will increase their numbers. And then what happens is you'll have a lot of people that will deport on their own because they don't want to end up in an alligator Alcatraz or some of those other places. So I think it's is a model, but we need other states to step up.

[Steve Bannon]

I was going to ask you, would.

[Ted Cruz]

This be enticing for other states to.

[Steve Bannon]

Come up with their own model?

[Marjorie Taylor Greene]

They are doing it. We have Louisiana doing it. Big Alabama is doing it. We have a lot of States, they seem to be red states and not too many blue states for whatever reason, you know, but the red states, Republican run states are doing it. The blue states don't do very well at security and policing, unfortunately. What would you say?

[Steve Bannon]

You know, I would say that exactly right.

[Kristi Noem]

The governor here has been fantastic in forming this partnership with the Department of Homeland Security. We were looking at different contracts with.

[Steve Bannon]

Different vendors and thought, why not go.

[Kristi Noem]

Straight to our governors and ask them.

[Mike Davis]

To help us solve this problem.

[Steve Bannon]

Florida was unique in what they presented.

[Kristi Noem]

To us and I would ask every.

[Steve Bannon]

Other governor to do the exact same thing.

[Kristi Noem]

This is unique because we can hold.

[Steve Bannon]

Individuals here, they can have their hearings.

[Kristi Noem]

Get due process and then immediately be flown back home to their home countries.

[Steve Bannon]

And their home countries are welcoming them.

[Kristi Noem]

They'Re setting up loans for houses, they've.

[Steve Bannon]

Got food assistance, they're helping to facilitate, welcoming them home.

[Kristi Noem]

I just got home from Panama, Costa.

[Steve Bannon]

Rica, Guatemala, Honduras and they're all excited.

[Kristi Noem]

About getting their individuals back home from the United States.

[Marjorie Taylor Greene]

And there is a lot of self supporting. That's one thing I was actually surprised. But a lot of self reporting and when you have something like this, even more so. So I'd ask Ron one question. I flew over the Everglades. We did a little circle. I said, let me see, that's a big piece of land. Took us 45 minutes to fly around. Is there potential for enlargement for additional facilities out there?

[Ted Cruz]

There may be. I mean, I think what we're doing is because this is an important part of Florida, we're using the existing footprint of this airport. So when you guys go over there, you'll see all the beds, the medical, the galley, everything is on the concrete. We're not using any of the other stuff. Now, as you'll see, there's a lot of concrete. So there very well may be. I know Secretary Noem and her team have said as soon as the President departs, we'll be open to start receiving. Folks, I see what tempo is. We do have the 2000 in Northeast Florida that will open very soon. So it is possible to do. One of the things I think that is exciting about this is we're offering up our National Guard and other folks in Florida to be deputized to be immigration judges. We're working with the Department of Justice for the approvals on Church Pamela approved. But then you have. I'll have a National Guard judge advocate here. Someone has a notice to appear. Biden would tell them to come back in three years and appear now. You'll be able to appear in like a day or two. So they're not going to be detain hopefully for all that long. We'll have people here in this facility that can make, you know, it's a bureaucracy. The President's got to deal with the bureaucracy. Now that Supreme Court ruling was good because that's going to allow him to be able to exercise Article 2 the way founders intended. But you still have bureaucracy. So we want to cut through that so that we have an efficient operation between Florida and DHS to get the removal of these illegals done.

[Elon Musk]

How many, how many Initially, Mr. President.

[Steve Bannon]

After the worst of the worst, or.

[Kristi Noem]

Are you now arresting anyone?

[Marjorie Taylor Greene]

We're doing the worst of the worst. Always first. And I think it's great government what we've done. And nobody can ever forget what this group of people, Biden or whoever it was, probably wasn't even Biden. I don't think. You know what Biden, whoever was what this, what this group of people, a small group that circled the Resolute desk, what they did to this country. Think of it, what you're about talking time. All the time you have to waste doing this. It's an unforced error. We had nothing, we had no problem with this. There was never anything like.

[Steve Bannon]

Okay, it looks like, it looks like we frozen going out right there at the site President Trump has arrived at with Governor DeSantis and Kristi Noem ahead of DHS, they're going to go tour Alligator Alcatraz. Now what's going to happen, our own Brian Glenn is with, is with the President and with it he'll be in actually the, the motorcade or he'll be with the President. We'll come back up as soon as we get a, as soon as we get a signal, Brian will be in there. In the journey over to this incredible new facility that is a little bit like Devil's island and the fact you've got alligators patrolling in a moat around so you don't need to have, you don't need to have barbed wire or anything to constrain it. President Trump's going to get the full briefing. This thing's been put up in eight days. It's a model for how we're going to look forward to deport these 10 million illegal alien invaders as rapidly as possible. The bill to get their money to do that is being voted on right now in the United States Senate. Let's go back to still have John Joe Lavanier. Let's get Joe in before the. So Joe Right there you're seeing it. That whole facility is really the Christie Noem part is predicated upon the big beautiful bill being passed today. I think we have 150, $270 billion in for the deportation and border security in the senate. I think 70 or 80 billion in the House. That'll get worked out somehow. But once again, Elon Musk is hammering the President that, oh, you're not paying attention to debt. The theory of the case is you've got to get the economy growing again. This is a supply side cut. When you actually look at your model and add in everything, you add in tariffs, you add in growth, you add in all the investments, you're growing at 2.8 to 3%, you're actually growing faster. And this is the way that you start to knock the deficits down. Besides all the other, you know, all the other cuts that the President's going to make on waste foreign abuse that the Doge guys did not actually get done. Joe, your thoughts?

[I]

Yes, Steve. So the 2, 8 was an underlying figure CEA had effectively used. That was sort of a midpoint. They're optimistic it could be higher 3%. Something is certainly possible. Just so you know, these deficit fears that people talk about are based off of a CBO estimate of just 1.8% growth per year. There is a massive difference. This is trillions of dollars between 3% type growth and 1.8% growth. And you're talking a $30 trillion economy with compounding over a 10 year period. So that's important. You have to get the growth assumption right. But as it comes back to the one big beautiful bill and you're talking about deportations, Secretary Bessance made a very key point and that is when you remove these illegal people, you're going to lift nominal wage rates in the US they're going to go to really a market level rate. So that becomes very, very competitive for US Workers. Moreover, within the one big beautiful bill as it relates to building things, you've got significant permitting improvements for energy output and production. That's key because energy is an input into virtually everything. So there are a lot of supply side factors that will raise living standards, lift productivity through the capital investment side, but also lower inflation through increased energy production and independence, which will lower prices at the pump. They're effectively at a four year low. That's great news heading into the summer. So all these factors are just really powerful. And I'd also say we could sort of have to ignore the consensus of economists who have been consistently wrong on the tariffs and leading to high inflation has been quite the opposite. Inflation's been lower than expected. These forecasts probably wouldn't have happened even if there weren't tariffs. But they have happened. The tariffs have been absorbed in the margins. So these fears of debt are just totally misplaced in my mind.

[Steve Bannon]

Joe, hang on one second. We got the president again. Let's go back. We got another feed. Let's go right back to the president.

[Marjorie Taylor Greene]

Had to do with their cricket. But the Democrats are very good at cheating for that. And that's why I said too big for you. They tried this one too, but after about 902 they gave up two of the two victory. Ron would love it. I would love it. Krista would love it. That's what they have to do. They have to bring it back and we have to look at it and include anybody that happens to be in.

[Ted Cruz]

Your state from California. The California would lose like five seats if they did a fair census. And even beyond that, the Biden census gyps Florida of at least one seat. We only got one seat in the last census. Are you trying to tell me that Florida only had one seat and that we should have had at least two? Texas should have had another one. That could be the difference in the House of Representatives and the majority. So I would love for them to redo the census for 26. My legislature will redistrict those lines. We'll get it to where it's fair. But as it's right now, this country is not fairly a fortune. I've got so many more millions of people in Florida that have representation because of that flawed census.

[Marjorie Taylor Greene]

I think it's going to do very well. A lot of people, it's captivating. Everybody wants it. It's going to get in.

[Steve Bannon]

It's going to pass.

[Kristi Noem]

And Elon Musk is ripping into this bill again.

[Steve Bannon]

Are you concerned that Republicans are going to be swayed by Musk and his money?

[Marjorie Taylor Greene]

No, I wish. I think what's going to happen is Doge is going to look at Musk and Doge looks at Musk will do the same, unfortunately. Thank you very much, everybody. I don't think you should be blamed that game.

[Steve Bannon]

Thank you, Mr. President.

[Marjorie Taylor Greene]

Thank you very much, Mr.

[Ted Cruz]

Guy.

[Steve Bannon]

Thank you.
