Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (1:31)

In the Commerce job now. It's.

Scott Pressler (1:33)

I don't.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (1:33)

Stop, Stop.

Scott Pressler (1:34)

Right hand to the father.

Steve Bannon (1:35)

No, hang on.

Donald Trump (1:36)

Stop.

Steve Bannon (1:37)

Hang on. Eric Bolling creates his own juice. You are juice. What do you think we were giving it to?

Donald Trump (1:42)

You had so.

Steve Bannon (1:43)

It had so many dead beats. As Commerce Secretary said, just give it to bowling. He'll go wild over there. You would have been. You've been a superstar. Maybe in a future administration, Eric, when you get a few more gray hairs, maybe you'll.

Scott Pressler (1:53)

You'll know who's ever running the shop in a future administration.

Donald Trump (1:56)

I can clean up Howard Lutnick's mess. Steve.

Scott Pressler (1:59)

All yours.

Steve Bannon (2:00)

I love brothers. Have a great. Have a great weekend. Love you, too. Have a great weekend. Eric Bolling. Okay, we're going to be calling Some audibles today, as we normally do here in the war room every day, because so much stuff is happening. We're going to go to New Jersey, to Wildwood, to this incredible, incredible rally. Jack Posobuk's there. Real America's Voice. We got cameras. It's going to be great. Up on skates from Scott to press it, all of it. We're trying to track down Benny Johnson. You're going to let me know when we get Benny. Benny was going to be there today, but of course, that dramatic press availability and statement by the Attorney General of the United States of the potential threats against the life of Benny Johnson in his family. Benny couldn't make it up. So we're going to try to get Benny here. The President I states. I think momentarily I'm looking at. My producer here is going to is. I think the President states is going to be in the Oval and we're going to be talking about. He's going to sign, I guess, an executive order around pricing around AstraZeneca, the pharmaceutical company. We're gonna go that we got a lot of things we're going to juggle. But we do have a cold open a lot to go through in news today. I going to separate out and bifurcate the Bolton situation because so special. But let's go ahead. I'm going to play a call open if the President starts in the Oval, we're going to jump right to that. But let's go ahead and try to start the show.

Donald Trump (3:16)

We were at a tremendous development in the last two years.

Steve Bannon (3:22)

We fought during these two years to.

Donald Trump (3:25)

Achieve our war aims. And the central one of these war.

Steve Bannon (3:27)

Aims is to return the hostages, all.

Donald Trump (3:31)

Of the Osteo, the living and the dead. And we're about to achieve that goal. We couldn't have achieved it without the.

Steve Bannon (3:39)

Extraordinary help of President Trump and his team, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, they worked tirelessly with Ron and his team.

Donald Trump (3:49)

Our team and that and the courage.

Steve Bannon (3:54)

Of our soldiers to enter Gaza and.

Donald Trump (3:57)

The combined military and diplomatic pressure that.

Steve Bannon (4:01)

Isolated Hamas, I think has brought us to this point. I want to personally thank both of you. Steve, Jared, it's been long hours. You worked on the clock, but not.

Donald Trump (4:21)

Only worked, I think you. You put in your brains and your hearts. And we know that it's for the benefit of Israel and the United States.

Steve Bannon (4:34)

For the benefit of decent people everywhere and for the benefit of these families who will finally get to be with our loved ones.

Donald Trump (4:42)

And I want to thank you on their behalf as well.

Steve Bannon (4:44)

And on behalf of the people of Israel, thank you.

Katie (4:50)

Russ Vogt just tweeted the following one line sentence.

Steve Bannon (4:54)

He said, the rifts have begun.

Katie (4:56)

Of course, an acronym that means reduction in force or terminations. CNN's Arlette Signs has the latest from Capitol Hill. Arlette, what can you tell us? Well, Brianna, this marks a significant escalation in the government shutdown fight as President Trump is now making good on his threats for potentially conducting mass layoffs within the federal workforce in if this shutdown dragged on. Now, we're still learning to trying to learn exactly how many federal workers will be impacted by these layoffs, but an OMB spokesperson said that the number is expected to be substantial. The White House at one point had previously floated that layoffs could potentially number into the thousands. So we will work to learn more about who is exactly impacted. But the White House had made clear going into this that the programs that they would target would be ones that did not align with President Trump's priorities. And he has said time and time again that any cuts that they will be making will be to Democratic programs. But this comes after Trump had really held off for a little bit of time in enacting these mass layoffs. There have been Republicans up here on Capitol Hill who have warned of the political perils that that mass layoffs could have relating to the federal workforce. And so still, there's a lot to learn about who exactly will be impacted. But this is just another point that Republicans are trying to make as they're trying to exert greater pressure on Democrats to change their mind on their approach to the shutdown. Does this put pressure on Democrats to come back and try to end this shutdown?

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (6:30)

You know, I don't think so, Katie. And the reason I say that, and you know, let me acknowledge right up front that this shutdown is causing an awful lot of people an awful lot of pain. The day it began, I went up to the airport at Windsor Lodge, Connecticut, to see off 500 Connecticut National Guardsmen who were deploying to the Middle East. These are not wealthy people. Right. And they are not going to get paid on October 15th. So this is causing a huge amount of pain. But in terms of how it whether it causes us to buckle, wait till the pain of not addressing the expiring Obamacare, the Affordable Care act subsidies come out. You know, this is going to double and triple people's premiums. And most importantly, again and in democracy, what people think matters, the reality is, and I hate to talk about this in political terms because we're talking about A lot of real pain here. The reality is that all of the polling indicates that the American people understand in vast majorities that when the Republicans control the House, the Senate and the White House that this is not the Democrats fault. So yes, this is going to create a lot of pain when federal workers get fired. But I can tell you who it's going to come back around to. And that's Russ Vote and his boss. And that is going to further enrage the American people.

Steve Bannon (7:44)

Friday, the 10th of October in the year of our Lord 2025, one month to the day to one of the greatest Americans of the 21st Century, Charlie Kirk was assassinated in cold blood in Utah. I want to bring in now Benny Johnson, a very dramatic. Benny today kind of shocked the country. The Attorney General of the United States steps up to the microphone and talks about threats for the assassination, for your assassination and your family. Can you tell us about it and the impact to your family, sir?

Benny Johnson (8:13)

Yes, Steve, that's exactly right. Charlie Kirk killed exactly one month ago today. This was something that we all watched. A good man, a peaceful man, a loving husband and a devoted father. A dear friend of mine and a brother to me. And we sent them the peaceful guy. That's all Charlie wanted to do was talk and debate. And because Charlie had won the ultimate debate, they decided to kill him because that would be the only way to silence him. So what does that tell us about the modern left, Steve? That we should take their threats seriously. If we send them the peaceful guy and then they kill us. There's a lot of, lot of parables actually that Christ tells about this. They're telling us who they are and they're telling us that with every passing week. Now I was just in Portland and Chicago with Kristi Noem at ICE facilities and I watched those ICE facilities to a man get attacked with sticks, bricks, rocks, stones, explosives. I saw the slashed tires of their vehicles. I saw dozens of left wing protesters arrested. Our cars and the motorcade were spat upon. For what? For just arresting some child pederists that are here illegally. This is what the left is fighting for. There was a giant sign outside of the ICE facility in Portland that said we have the guillotine and we're about to use it. Well, okay. When somebody shows you who they are, believe them. The left has become obscenely violent. We've seen that in the church shooting in Minneapolis where little Christian children were slaughtered by left wing extremists. We've seen that in an ICE facility that was under sniper fire by a left wing Extremist. But is it really extreme or is it mainstream from the Democrat Party? And so when we got a letter that threatened to do the exact same thing that happened to Charlie, to me, and to orphan my children and widow my wife, we took it very seriously. We went to the federal authorities, we went to the local police, who then referred it to the FBI. The FBI took it very seriously. And a massive shout out to Cash Patel, Dan Bongino, who are all over this, and Attorney General Pam Bondi, who has now someone in custody and in prison that has copped to this DNA evidence on the letter that was sent to my home. And so we're going to take it seriously. And I just want a profound thank you to the Trump administration for saying, all right, well, you know, maybe this is enough. You know, maybe, you know, we don't have to wait for somebody else to die to take this seriously. The question, I guess, for the Democrat Party is how many more of us need to die? And that's a pretty dark question because, well, I don't know. They don't seem to be taking it seriously. Steve, I'll leave you with this. In Virginia, a man named Jay Jones is on the record doing exactly what happened to me today. You know, he's on the record threatening the lives of Republicans wanting to kill their children, calling them little fascists, saying that Paine is the only teacher, and Democrats, presumably by the millions, will be voting for this guy for the top law enforcement position in the state. What does that say about the state of their party? It's totally godless, Steve.

Steve Bannon (11:21)

Benny, you have a different operating style than Charlie, but you're one of the leaders of this movement. You have tremendous energy. Not only do you go around and speak, you got the podcast, all that, but you have been riding shotgun and putting out to the nation with your videos exactly what's going on into the details of how kind of perverted is this resistance to basically get these illegal alien invaders out of the country? I think it's broader than the Democratic Party. What permission structure is on the left that makes it okay to send a letter to you threatening your life with assassination and also your children? What is the permission structure of the entire left broader than the Democratic Party? Sir, that makes. All right, because, you know, this guy will be lionized by certain elements of. The left of. This guy's a hero, sir.

Donald Trump (12:17)

Yeah.

Benny Johnson (12:17)

So, Steve, I'm a Christian, and as a Christian, I believe in the book of Genesis that God created life, and he created life and man to be in his own image that thou shall not kill. I believe in the Ten Commandments. I believe in Christ's order and law. And I stand against murder because life is precious and creation is from God. And it's not. It's immoral to take life. And because of that worldview, I am against violence. I'm against political violence. I've never advocated for political violence. We stream hundreds of thousands of hours. We have hundreds of thousands of videos that are on the Internet. Never once in any private message or in any piece of content have I ever advocated violence. Nor would I. In fact, when Joe Biden got terminal cancer, stage 5, metastasized to the bone, which is a death sentence, we prayed for him. And I don't like Joe Biden. I think he wrecked the country, but nobody was celebrating or dancing on his grave. That's not who we are. And that's because we see life as innately valuable. And the difference is that the left is godless. Marxists and Bolsheviks are always godless and they simply view life as numbers on a ledger and to be done away with if it's politically inconvenient. And that is precisely the permission slip that they have. It is good versus Eve Noel, darkness versus light. Steve.

Steve Bannon (13:44)

Benny, can you hand me one second? You were one of the headliners in this rally in New Jersey. I know you can't make it. You were in Tampa today with your family. And with this dramatic announcement by the Department of Justice. I'd like you to hold just for a second. I want to get your thoughts as we're going to go to New Jersey to this incredible rally, also to the Oval Office, to the President of the United States. The President of the United States is going to sign, I believe, an executive executive order. I'm sure he's going to have a press avail. Like I said, we're calling audibles all afternoon here in the War Room. Benny Johnson is our guest. Benny Johnson was targeted by this violent left in an escalatory move. It's not simply Charlie Kirk, one of the greatest young men I've ever met. It goes beyond Charlie Kirk. Now. They're targeting specifically leaders of the MAGA movement. Today, in a dramatic reveal, the Department of Justice laid out the basically the threatened assassination attempt on Benny Johnson. Short commercial break. We'll return with Benny in the War Room in a moment. Let me be blunt. Gold is up around 40% this year. That's not speculation, that is reality. And if a portion of your savings isn't diversified into gold, you're missing the boat. Here's the facts. Inflation is still too high. The US Dollar is still too weak. The government debt is insurmountable. This is why central banks are flocking to gold. They're the ones driving prices up to record highs. But it's not too late to buy gold from Birch Gold Group and get in the door. Now Birch Gold will help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax sheltered IRA. In gold, you don't pay a dime out of pocket. Just text Bannon B A N N O N to 989-898 and claim your free info kit. There's no obligation, just useful information. The best indicator of the future is the past. And gold has historically been a safe haven for millennia. What else can you say to that? Text Bannon 989-898 right now to claim your free info kit on gold. That's Bannon to 989-898. Protect your future today with Birchgold War Room.

Stephen K. Bannon (16:08)

Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

Steve Bannon (16:15)

Benny, I want to make sure people understand this because I don't think you're not a guy that puts this out there a lot. But they have targeted you from for a while now. Obviously this is they're going up the escalatory ladder in the threats, but they've come and tried to intimidate you and your family before, your children, your wife, particularly when even you're not there. What they're trying to do is show the right that we can come after your leaders. And if we flinch, that's a victory for the left. These people are violent. They're going to get increasingly violent. The letter, at least the parts that were implied today, were grotesque. And I know you're very thankful for the Trump administration and for Pam Bondi and DOJ and Cash and everybody was on it. But what is your guidance to the Republican Party and to our movement overall of how we're not law enforcement officials? You're one of the movement leaders. We're on this movement together. You've got the Warren Posse, average Americans, but they see what's going on. They can't unsee Charlie's brutal assassination just a month ago. What's your message to this movement and what's your message particularly to the leaders of this movement?

Benny Johnson (17:28)

Yeah, to the leaders of the movement and particularly to the movement itself, which is a moral movement of good people. It's that God is the author of life and death and you shouldn't live in fear that ultimately our Creator is the one who holds our life in his hand. And we have him to thank for our lives. He didn't need a Benny Johnson. God didn't need a Steve Bannon. He didn't need a Tucker Carlson. He created a Charlie Kirk for a reason and for a purpose. God created us for a purpose. And we have a purpose on this earth. And that purpose is not to cower in fear. It is not to curl up in a ball at a fetal position and to feel sorry for ourselves. And what did I learn the most, Steve? I learned it From Charlie in 2020 when we watched Joe Biden steal the election. And we watched this massive apparatus, sort of, this cloud of darkness sort of come over everything. Charlie knew damn well that this meant that his social media would be demonetized. He'd be taken offline, Turning Point would be harassed by the feds. He knew that he was gonna have a massive uphill battle as somebody who is such a strong ally and stuck his neck out. So much for President Trump. And we were there right after the election was called for Joe Biden. And that was the time for Charlie to be sad, and that was the time for Charlie to be depressed and to say, well, maybe we just wrap this whole thing up or maybe, maybe we play nice and just don't really go on offense. And that guy, he was like, we go 50 times harder. This was the story and it is 100% factual. Charlie Kirk said, we are going to go 50 times harder now that they've done this to our nation. And that is the spirit of the lion, that is the spirit of Christ in us, the man who has conquered death. And that power lives within us, Steve. And so we are not made to be timid. The nature of Satan is to steal, kill and destroy. So when you see people getting killed and destroyed and stolen from, you know that that's evil moving this world. And that's not us. We are salt and light. And so that's what, that's what keeps me going. And ultimately my message to the leaders of the party is to get behind the people who are being targeted right now. You know, there are left wing billionaires who are funding militant groups to come and kill us. We know that, as a matter of fact. And I think we're going to find out so much more about the funding of Antifa and other paramilitary groups on the left. And I'd love to see Republican billionaires get together to counter that in a real way, because it is an actual war out here and they want to take us out and we got to stand strong. That's the Way we're going to do it.

Steve Bannon (20:15)

You were instrumental in 2024 with, as one of Charlie's partners in delivering, getting out low propensity, low information. Voters in places like Pennsylvania recently won place like Arizona, Michigan. Today, with all the security concerns, you were going to be one of the headliners in New Jersey. Why did you pick New Jersey? Why this race? And why was it important enough to Benny Johnson to say, hey, for the first thing after Charlie, at least publicly, I'm going to be up there with Posobic and every pressler, Cliff Maloney, Everybody delivered the 2024. Why did you do that?

Benny Johnson (20:47)

I planned on taking the first flight out this morning from Tampa to get to Philadelphia and then driving to Wildwood, New Jersey, which is a hard place to get to, honestly. And so that's. That was going to be my path today. But I got a call late last night from the Attorney General's office saying that they're going to do this press conference. And so that was something that we had to do. And there was just no conceivable logistical way for me to get up to Wildwood. I recorded a video for them. I don't know if it's playing, perhaps it's playing right now at this moment, but we were honored to be invited. We want to play offense. It's kind of dovetails beautifully into our last question, Steve, which is, you know, what does playing offense look like? I mean, playing offense looks like going into enemy territory. How do you win a war? You don't win a war through a World War I style stalemate, through trench warfare where it's like five feet one way or the other. You win a war by taking ground, by taking resources from the enemy, by taking their resources and using them, using it against them, by going deep into enemy territory, by proving your power. And I mean, of course, that's what terrified them about the whole Jimmy Kimmel saga, was these people thought they were untouchable. And they realized in that moment that they not only didn't have cultural power, they didn't have institutional or regulatory power. And so they were totally and completely exposed. And we were able to roll right into Moscow, you know what I mean? And it's like, this is the moment that we should be going on offense politically and culturally, because the energy is with us, the American people are with us. And I love this shot. If we could stay on this wide shot for just a moment, There's a reason why there's this beautiful electoral map in my studio. The electoral map shows that 90% of the counties in America voted with President Trump. 90% of the counties in America vote for Trump. And that means that we run this land. And I want a media that reflects that. I want a moral populace that reflects that. I want an entertainment industry that reflects that. And I want a political class that reflects that, Steve. And that only happens by going on offense.

Steve Bannon (22:58)

Benny, you're one of the leaders of this movement and one of the young leaders in this country for one basic, simple reason. You have courage. Many other talents, but courage. And it's upon courage that all the other virtues rest. Benny, what are your coordinates? Where do people get you, your podcast, your content, your social media?

Benny Johnson (23:15)

Yeah, you can find us at Benny Johnson on all platforms right here on X. And then we have that user handle across all platforms. The betting show is our show. And it'd be our distinct privilege and honor if the War Room Posse subscribed to our program.

Steve Bannon (23:36)

Honored to have you on here, Benny. Go with God.

Benny Johnson (23:39)

Godspeed, Johnson.

Steve Bannon (23:42)

Thank you, sir. Benny Johnson. It won't come any better. And his family, if you're going to say prayers tonight, say prayers for Charlie, obviously, one month ago today, but also for Benny and particularly his family. A threat of assassination by these deviants on the. Deviants on the, on the left do we have Cliff. Let's go to the. Let's go actually out to the. To Wildwood, New Jersey, to the rally. We have Cliff Mahoney. Cliff Mahoney. Cliff, you're one of the architects, one of the guys on the ground of Pennsylvania is New Jersey. Really? If you tell me, I believe it. Is New Jersey winnable?

Cliff Maloney (24:20)

Yes, it is, Steve. And look, as I told you before, you know, went on your show a year and a half ago, almost two years now. You know, we looked at the numbers in PA and we realized there was a path. I'm here to tell everybody in the War Room Posse, excuse me. New Jersey is in play. As Jack Posobic said, NJ is the play. Steve, the polls are tightening. If you spend any time with Jack Cittarelli, he is a likable guy, he is a nice guy. And you got to see this other candidate the Dems are putting up, Mikey Sherrill. The more time she spends interacting with those voters, the more votes she loses. So we're going to have to put in tons of work here. We have launched a New Jersey chase program. We are going to be pounding on doors here, but this is going to take all hands on deck. And the fact we've got guys like Benny going all in. Poso Going all in, Scott. Press are going all in. Everybody here on the ground. It's going to take all of us.

Steve Bannon (25:16)

Let me ask you, you told us a year before Pennsylvania that this thing's winnable because there are low propensity voters, but we can get to them the manpower to get to him. Do you see the same thing in New Jersey? Do you think you can put the manpower together with what, three, four weeks to go to do this?

Cliff Maloney (25:34)

Well, here's the thing, Steve. We've been on the ground for two months. I haven't told many folks because PA has been my brand. But to be frank with you, when they killed Charlie a month ago, it really, really changed my thoughts on which battle should we be public about where should we go all in. This Charlie would tell us we have to do the work. And so to answer your question, Steve, we've knocked 280,000 doors in New Jersey in the last two months. We've got just under a month to knock the final to get us to 500,000 doors. But I'm going to pledge to the war Room Posse right now. The New Jersey chase will knock 500,000 doors in the state of New Jersey for Jack Cittarelli. And Steve, the numbers here are very similar to 2020 NPA of Trump versus Biden. That's why I'm here and I'm really hopeful we can pull this out for Jack.

Steve Bannon (26:26)

Cliff, where do people go right now? I want to know where they go for your site, where they go for your social media, particularly if you got something set for New Jersey Chase. Remember, your word is law here because you delivered a long shot and you told us you were going to do it a year in advance. So where do folks go?

Cliff Maloney (26:44)

I need folks from all across the War Room Posse to go to njchase.org and you can check me out on xaloney. Steve, remember the war room Posse fueled our entire effort in Pa. 175 sponsors at ballot chaser for an entire j would love, love to have the support again.

Steve Bannon (27:06)

We're going to pile into this big New Jersey's winnable. You know what? I heard it from Cliff Maloney and if he tells me it's, it's, it's as good as gold. You can bank it, sir. Thank you so much for being up in New Jersey today and so much for leading this effort.

Cliff Maloney (27:22)

Appreciate you, Steve.

Steve Bannon (27:24)

Thank you, sir. Charlie Kirk's assassination. Charlie Kirk inspired people every day but his assassination have really got people up on it. Scott Pressler says Pennsylvania's the new Ohio, New Jersey's the new Pennsylvania. We gotta prove it in a couple of weeks on election Day. We have to prove we gotta win New Jersey. You really stop the Democrats by victory. New Jersey stops them dead in the tracks. Short commercial break in return, we got Oval Office rallies in New Jersey. Breaking news. Stick around. You're in the war room on a Friday afternoon. You know, I didn't know this until the the guys at Field of Greens, the doctors and the experts told me about it and then gave me information was fascinating. We have two ages, our actual age and our body's internal biological age. Additionally, what I didn't know is I've likely lowered my biological age without even knowing it. Here's the thing. Because Americans eat so many processed and ultra processed foods and not enough fruits and vegetables, many, perhaps most, are 10 years older on the inside than their actual their actual age. They're ticking time bombs. A major university study suggests how to slow aging and diffuse that biological time bomb. Participants slowed their aging by drinking Field of Greens. That's all. They didn't change their eating, drinking or exercise, just Field of Greens. I feel great knowing Field of Greens can slow how quickly I'm aging. And I encourage you to join me. Swap your untested fruit, vegetable or green drink for Field of Greens while there's time. Check out the university study.

Stephen K. Bannon (31:14)

Here's your host, Stephen K. Bann.

Steve Bannon (31:20)

Okay, let's go right to the Oval Office. We're lining up. President States will be out momentarily. There you see Dr. Oz and others. We're set to go. And President Trump, they actually got the podium and we're going to have a little, I think, presentation. The President's going to speak. We're going to go after the President in this presentation. And I'm sure the President is going to take a couple of three questions from the media. It's been such a huge newsday. We are going to go back to New Jersey to the rally. So we're going to, we're going to, how do I say, juggle a few things today. Plus, we've got tons of other breaking news analysis before the President comes out. One thing I didn't get to is that John Bolt, MSNBC exclusively reported, I think right before Nicole Wallace took over this afternoon at 4 o', clock, they reported in the late 3 o' clock hour, 4 o', clock, that John Bolton is now, there's been a leak over the Justice Department that doj John Bolton is being investigated and looks like will be charged multiple counts of felonies around classified material. Very serious. MSNBC was in total and complete meltdown about this. Why? Because Bolton, I think, opens up the possibility about how serious the Justice Department is, how serious about the national security, how serious they are about classified information. And I think that puts people like Brennan and Weissman and of course McCabe, all of them, Lisa Monaco, all of these people, very vulnerable today. It was absolute, total and complete, total and complete meltdown. Just to give you a little view of the Oval Office right there, that door that one of the, and the petty officer, one of the chiefs right there is in fact, I don't have my glasses on. I think he's a chief is or first class. That door, if I have my bearing straight. That door leads into the leads into where the dining room is, a small dining room with a. The President conducts a lot of business as he's, as he's viewing events that happen on tv. There is. This is the President of the United States. We'll turn it over to the Oval Office.

Donald Trump (33:32)

Nice to have you. This is a big announcement. We have a lot of big announcements. They're sort of all big announcements, actually. It's wonderful to be in the Oval Office. I think you probably like it the best. You like it the best for press conferences? I sort of do. But today I'm excited to announce another historic achievement in our quest to lower drug prices for all Americans. You know, prices have come way down. We've gotten prices way down for groceries, for oil especially. Today we broke 60, $60 barrel. They'll be. We think the oil is going to be under $2 a gallon very soon. That's about 70% lower than what it was just a year ago. So that's a big thing. And when the oil comes down, everything comes down. It's pretty, pretty Beautiful to watch. AstraZeneca, the largest pharmaceutical manufacturer in the United Kingdom, is committing to offer Americans major discounts on their vast catalog of prescription drugs. One of the great companies, by the way, and a most favored nation's pricing clause. So most favored nation is you're going to pay whatever the lowest price anywhere in the world is. That's what you're going to be paying. And I was, I had it going very well in my first term, but we were interrupted by a rigged election, so I was unable to carry it forward. We started it, but this was something I, one of the reasons I wanted to run again was we had to have favorite nations where the world is not going to be paying just a fraction, just a tiny fraction of what we were. I want to thank CEO Pascal Sorio, a very highly respected, one of the most respected men in business and certainly in the industry for joining us today, as well as Secretary Howard Lutnick, Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. CMS Administrator Mehmet Oz, FDA Commissioner Marty McCary, and Virginia Governor, a man who's done an incredible job and good luck with the upcoming election. I know you're working very hard. I watch your year out there. He's out there working. He wants to see that young woman win. And the attorney general who I endorsed, et cetera, et cetera. Glenn Youngkin, thank you very much. Glenn, thank you for being here. For many years, Americans have paid the highest prices anywhere in the world for prescription drugs. By far, by far, many times the amount that other countries are paying is ridiculous. Upon taking office, I signed an executive order to make sure that Americans pay no more for prescription medications than the lowest price for the same drug in other locations in developing nations. Today, AstraZeneca is committing to offer all of their prescription medications to Medicaid at most favored nations prices. In other words, the lowest price anywhere in the world. That's what we get. A move that will save American taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars each year. And I tell the story, Glenn, that in my first term I had the honor of being the first president in 28 years to lower drug prices during the course of the year. And we actually did. And I was so proud of myself. We called a news conference. I announced was 1/8 of 1%, 1/8 of 1%. Now drug prices are going to be going down 100%, 400%, 600%, 1000% in some cases, but for 1/8 of a cent. Bobby, think of that. I was so proud because for 28 years nobody had done it. And now it's. I think back to that. I said I shouldn't have had that news conference, but it is true. I was the only one that did it. But it was not very much. And now we're going to get in some cases, 1000% reduction. This is going to have a huge impact on everything from Social Security to Medicare to Medicaid. Anything where they're buying any prescription drugs, it's going to have an incredible impact. It's going to lower itself greatly. AstraZeneca will also list many of their most popular drugs online@TrumpRx.gov TrumpRx I don't know why they put the name Trump. I did not tell him to do it, but I'm honored to let them do it. That's true, actually. That heavily reduced most favored nation's cost. Americans can expect discounts and as I said, it could be in many cases way over 100%. And as an example, one particular drug that's hot, very hot, 654% on inhalers, COPD and asthma, as well as certain diabetics medications. They're going to be averaging about 654% reduction in price. You believe that one? The Democrats will say, well, he should have gotten more. It's crazy. In addition, all medications AstraZeneca introduces to the American market going forward will also be sold at these heavily discounted rates. Furthermore, AstraZeneca will invest $50 billion in the United States over the next five years for research and development of new Drugs and to onshore manufacturing facilities across the country. Like the new plant that broke ground yesterday in Charlottesville, Virginia, where the governor attended. They had a tremendous group of people attending. It's going to have 3,600 jobs just to begin with. And that's going to be a fantastic plant. I saw a picture. It's going to be the best, right? It can't get any better. This is a tremendous victory for Virginia and for American patients and for everything for the country. It's an amazing company to have coming over to the United States in such a big way. That's going to be a big part of the company. Presidents have promised for years to lower the cost of healthcare, but my administration is actually the first to do it and do it substantially, do it at numbers that nobody thought, even I thought, well, were not possible. When you think, think of it, if you got a 1%, 2%, 5%, that's good. You did a good job. We're talking about 1002-003005-00700, in some cases, some big, big numbers. And the largest drug companies in the world are working with us to make this a reality. And so I look forward to being at your opening of that incredible facility. I hear something and it's in a great location, Lynn.

Steve Bannon (40:10)

Right.

Donald Trump (40:10)

One of the beautiful locations. So I'd now like to ask Secretary Kennedy to say a few words, followed by Dr. Oz, Pascal, Governor Youngkin, and we'll take some questions afterwards. Would anybody like to have some? Yes. Oh, I'm shocked. Okay, we'll take them right after. Okay, Bobby, please.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (40:33)

Thank you. Minister. President, I. I talked about this a little yesterday in the Cabinet meeting, but it's worth repeating because it shows this historical achievement as really monumental. When I was in my confirmation process, virtually every Democratic senator showed me their preoccupation with making sure that we completed that. I was going to continue to get a commitment from me, continue the IRA drug price negotiations. The IRA required the Democrats, while President Biden was in the first year of the IRA, to negotiate 10 drug prices down. And then I was supposed to, my first year, negotiate 15 and 15 every year thereafter. And that was their plan. Democrats claimed that they had a 22% reduction and that that was great success. When we actually looked at that, when I came into the agency, we realized we were actually paying more for eight of the 10 drugs. The 22% reduction was off of list price, and Medicare ended up paying more for eight of the drugs, equal for the ninth, and about a 2% discount on the 10th drug. So that was the plan and that's what they did. We are continuing the IRA negotiations, but thanks to the President's leadership, we have achieved something extraordinary here, which is a dream that he's had for 20 years because he's the common sense president. He saw something 20 years ago. He learned that we were playing three, four, five, sometimes 10 times for the same drug as they were paying in European countries. Some of these drugs were manufactured in facilities in New Jersey and then sold for one tenth the price in Great Britain and London or Paris that Americans were being charged for them a year. He saw that this was unfair. Every Democratic president, every Republican president has said that this was the, this was the gold standard. This is what we needed to do. Nobody's been able to change it. And when we came in, I have to say I was pessimistic about doing MFN. Dr. Oz was pessimistic. Our staff, John Brooke and Chris Clump and the other people we brought in were all pessimistic. The President saw something that we didn't see, which is we had leverage. And that came through Howard and the tariffs. And we had extraordinary leverage to craft these deals. So last week we had Pfizer in, which is one of the biggest American pharmaceutical companies today. We have AstraZeneca in with Pascal Sorios, which is one of the biggest European pharmaceutical companies. And the President saw. The President asked us to do three things. One, to get MFN prices, Two, to not bankrupt these companies. He understood that America has to be the center for innovation. The drug industry needs to innovate, that it's critical for its bottom line. It's critical for the health of the American people. He asked us also to make sure that those companies would keep their promise to reassure this industry, our national security purposes for our economy. It's critical. These companies are making these drugs in the United States. We were able to achieve all those things and partially with the visionary help of Pascal. Where is he? Of Pascal's Oreos, understood that innovation and the business doesn't work if everybody is not pulling the horse, if everybody doesn't have a skin in the game. The whole world was riding on our shoulders and riding on our time. 70% of pharmaceutical revenues comes from this country. We only have 4.2% of the world's population and we were paying for 80 or 90% of the innovation here. And the rest of the world was a free rider. And Pascal understood that that's not fair and it's not a good sustainable long term business model. And he came to the table. He was one of the first leaders to come to the table. I want to thank him for his vision, for operating with us in good faith. And this is an extraordinary deal. Not only that, but as the president has pointed out, he is also reshoring this industry here. He has 19 facilities already operating in this country. He has this other facility in Arbor morrow County that Dr. Oz went with Governor Youngkin and broke ground on yesterday. He has a second facility that is under construction in Kendall Square in Boston, another facility in Rockville, Maryland, and a fourth facility in Copper, Texas, right outside of Dallas, Fort Worth. And he's got plans for building many more in this country, thanks to the president's leadership, to the tariffs and to the common sense the President has demonstrated in his own commitment to make drug prices lower for hardworking Americans. So I want to thank the President for your visionary leadership. I want to thank Dr. Oz for his part and Marty Makary in negotiating this deal. Dr. Heidi Overton, Theo Merkel, Chris Clump and John Brooks, who all played critical parts in the negotiation. And of course, Howard Ludnick, who was the key to these negotiations. Who do we, who do we bring up?

Steve Bannon (46:32)

Thanks, Secretary.

Donald Trump (46:34)

He'll take your place, Pastor.

Stephen K. Bannon (46:37)

Oh, Pascal. I get to introduce Pascal, which I'll do. A great joy and honor.

Steve Bannon (46:41)

So the world is watching. Go back as President Trump. We're going to go back to the Oval as soon as. We're going to go back to the Oval as soon as President Trump comes back. And President Trump is going to take questions. We're going to put this into a. We can go ahead and we can go ahead and cut the mic there, guys. Thank you. Thank you, Denver. Okay, here's what I do. We're going to go. We can't go to New Jersey right now because they just finished a speech. I do want to play this block on Bolton so I can give some observation. Huge breaking news about John Bolton that the president is quite interested in. As soon as the president comes back to the mic and starts taking questions, we'll go immediately back to the Oval Office. Let's play the Bolton package.

Katie (47:22)

We have learned that John Bolton, former national security adviser turned sharp critic of Donald Trump, is expected to be the subject of a complaint or even an indictment as early as next week. MSNBC, citing two sources, is reporting exclusively that the acting U.S. attorney in Maryland is moving forward quickly to seek criminal charges against Bolton. They reportedly relate to claims that he, he improperly kept classified national security information in his Maryland home. His home was searched In August, Bolton's lawyer insists that his client, John Bolton, did nothing improper. It is the second instance of targeting a prominent Trump critic in two days and the third in the past two weeks. It certainly fuels the perception that Donald Trump is deliberately making his way down a to do list list having to do with his promise of political retribution.

Political Analyst (48:17)

The reason that we're having this conversation is that presidents are told in normal times, and Donald Trump was told this during his first term, that they should not talk about criminal investigations. They shouldn't talk about who should be criminally investigated and who committed criminality, because if they do that, it creates a perception that the prosecution is being done at the behest of the president. And it raises the question, oh, is this being done for political reasons or is this being done based on the law? And the fact obviously, Donald Trump has not kept his mouth shut about John Bolton. So because of that, we cannot sit here as people trying to understand this moment and accept on the face of it that this is being done based on the law and the fact, because the most powerful person in the United States, who has picked not only who his attorney general is, but it looks like picks, you know, who his line prosecutors are on prosecutions is, has been so open about this. And during his first term, aides and lawyers told him time and time again, don't talk about this because when they really do get one of your enemies, it could potentially undermine it. So if he is charged and it does move forward, we will see, first of all, we'll get a sense of what, what the evidence is and we will also see what is a question that is emerged in the Comey case and I'm sure will emerge in the James case and we'll Bolton case, which is where is the line on vindictive prosecution? So a lot of people that get indicted go to court and they try to and file motions and they say I'm being unfairly prosecuted and I'm being persecuted for that. And those things usually fall flat. They usually do not get, get ruled on in their favor. We now have people that the President United States has openly said I want prosecuted. And it looks like they are going, they are being prosecuted. And there's, there's not a lot of case law on this. This is not something that we see play out a lot. So we are going to see what vindictive Prosecution means in 2025 in the United States. Is that something that would stop a criminal prosecution or is it something that it doesn't matter to the courts?

Katie (50:34)

Does this Put pressure on Democrats to come back and try to end this shutdown.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (50:40)

You know, I don't think so, Katie. And the reason I say that. And, you know, let me acknowledge.

Steve Bannon (50:47)

Let me have it good. We got the wrong clip there. We'll get it back up. So, Bolton, let's go to Schmidt. That's one of the senior reporters for the New York Times. I don't know if they ever announced this. Not that would just call anything out. I think he's married to Nicole Wallace. I think. I don't know if they ever say it on the show, but I think for full disclosure, I know it's your husband. If it is, I think it is. He's dead wrong. And this is why I had Joel Gilbert on today. And I think we'll play if we have time in the second hour, which I think we're kind of jammed because the Cittarelli, the gubernatorial candidate, we have his speech. Jack Posobic is going to speech. Cliff Maloney is going to speak. Scott Preston is going to speak. We want to get all that. Plus, as soon as President Trump comes back to the podium in the Oval, he's going to take questions. We want to be there for that because this is another historic day in the presidency and just absolutely extraordinary. Signing one of these situations individually with these companies, like you did with Pfizer, to drive down drug prices, to go back. They're trying to make a big deal because people know that these are enemies of President Trump, as we told you today. And Nicole Wallace did a terrible job yesterday, and so did Stephanie Rule, because there are multiple charges and multiple felonies on. On Big Tish James. In fact, as we showed today, every property she's touched for the last 30 years either has mortgage fraud, banking fraud, insurance fraud, tax fraud on all of them. Okay? Joel Gilbert had the goods. This information is out there. Joel Gilbert's just doing it as a public, as someone pulling information from the public. He doesn't have the information that the Justice Department has. And I can tell you, I strongly believe from my sources, there's a major superseding indictment. What's a superseding indictment? You indict somebody to kind of get the process rolling. Then as you've got more information as a prosecutor, you drop it on top of them. And there's a superseding indictment coming on Big Tish James that lays out many more felonies. So Big Tish is going away for a long time. There's multiple felonies, tax, bank fraud, mortgage fraud, insurance fraud, all of It. Okay. And that's coming on Bolton. Bolton. They caught highly classified information at his office. They're not even disclosing what was in the home. Also, there's this question about Bolton, not simply the book he was writing, was he monetizing it in this highly classified information. Was he monetizing it in his business, his consulting business? And my sources tell me there may be questions about him monetizing his calendar. What do I mean by that? I mean his calendar as national security adviser is closely monitored. Every meeting is an important meeting. It may be a possibility that either his colleagues or his outside consulting firm or whatever were taking opportunities for who is on that calendar to get retained or do consulting work. Now, that hasn't been proven, but I hear that's one of the paths that are going down. My point, Schmidt's just sitting there making this stuff up. This is so terrible. He's the national. He's one of the top national security reporters in the country. He's one of the senior national security reports, I believe, for the New York Times, our paper of record, I might add, our beloved paper of record. And right there, he knows better. John Bolton is going to be overwhelming evidence of Bolton, and they're going to need that because they're not in a particularly friendly district. But Cash Patel and Dan Bongino and the national security side of their investigation, plus DOJ and the media is going to try to kill, kick up a lot of dust. They're going to try to. Oh, this is just all Trump. This is Trump going after his critics.

Donald Trump (54:34)

It's not.

Steve Bannon (54:35)

And the reason they're so freaked out, they're more freaked out about Bolton even than Comey, because they realize on this national security aspect that John Brennan and Lisa Monaco and Andrew McCabe and that whole Clapper, that whole crowd is going to get rolled up. Yes, they are. They're going to get rolled up. So you can write that down. Okay, here's what we're going to try to do. We're going to try to take a break. As soon as the President comes back to the little podium there to take questions, we're going to jump out of the break and go right back to the Oval Office. I want to thank Birch Gold for being our sponsor here, particularly these last couple of days. We've been bouncing around between live and doing the show with commentary and analysis. Birchgold.com I think now more than ever. You convinced now the gold's over 4,000 and Goldman Sachs is projecting it should be 4,900 by the end of next year. We'll see.

Political Analyst (57:48)

MAGA Media I wish in my soul.

Steve Bannon (57:51)

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.

Scott Pressler (58:05)

War Room.

Stephen K. Bannon (58:06)

Here's your host, Stephen K. Ban.

Steve Bannon (58:15)

Okay, we're going to juggle two things. It is Friday, the 10th of September in the year of our Lord 2025. One month ago today, the assassination in cold blood of Charlie Kirk, one of the greatest Americans of his generation, or any generation. Just an extraordinary young man assassinated in cold blood. What did we learn earlier today? They threatened an assassination on Benny Johnson and Benny Johnson's family. We have Jack Posobeck. Okay, we're gonna go to Wildwood. We're covering this great rally in New Jersey that Benny was going to co host with Jack. We're also going to go back to the Oval Office. Let's go to Jack Posobic in Wildwood, New Jersey, live. Jack Bosobic, Put us in the room. Brother.

Jack Posobec (59:00)

Steve.

Stephen K. Bannon (59:00)

I'm here. I'm on the, the Seaport Pier of Wildwood, New Jersey, and you're seeing something that New Jersey has not seen without Donald Trump in a long, long time. You're seeing a rally of Patriots that are out here that want to take their state back. They're sick of the corruption and they're sick of these carpetbaggers who come from Virginia, like the candidate that they have this Obama plant that he's airlifted into New Jersey to try to take their state. They're sick of it. Jack Chitterelli, he's a, he's from real Jersey. And this is a place where you're seeing that fire the Patriots, the real New Jerseyans out here today. It's a blustery day here up on the Seaport pier in North Wildwood. But Steve, we're out here. They got the salt water in people's veins. The stuff salt air is hitting our, hitting us, and it's keeping us all nice and awake. We're being real crusty. And these people in just one month's time are going to deliver this state for the gop. They're going to flip New Jersey to red because New Jersey is the next Pennsylvania and New Jersey is the play.

Steve Bannon (60:07)

So, Jack, answer this for the, for the audience. I got Pressler, I got Cliff Maloney, Scott Pressler, Jack, Bonnie Johnson. I got the entire team with, with, with Charlie Kirk's lieutenants that delivered Pennsylvania. One, why are you in New Jersey? And two, can you guys deliver the same type of kind of breathtaking victory that President Trump had in November 24th in a couple of weeks in New Jersey.

Stephen K. Bannon (60:34)

Well, Steve, let me tell you, if there's a team that's going to do it, it's the team from Pennsylvania. From 2024, we were able to show how to deliver, deliver that by activating key demographic groups, the working class, going directly to them, asking them for their votes, going to Catholics, going to traditional Christians, people who understand the problems that have gone on, the problems of Trenton, the problems of Washington, D.C. they don't want New Jersey to become the next Virginia. And I'll tell you what's happening in New Jersey. Go and look at the county shift map from 2024. 100% of the counties of New Jersey in 2024 shifted right, shifted red. That is not a fluke. New Jersey is the next Pennsylvania and Pennsylvania is the next Ohio because of Donald Trump. And Steve, we're seeing that activation, that same activation of low propensity voters of the working class that we saw in 2024 in Pennsylvania now happening in New Jersey. It's going to happen again. We saw the shift just one year ago. And with this team, team that understands and keep in mind, we got Cliff Maloney, but we're also working with Turning Point Action as a partner, talking to Tyler Boyer, using that same algorithmic method that Tyler put together for 2024 to be able to work that magic again, we know exactly who to target turning out these low propensity voters to be able to make sure that they are the margin of victory come this November.

Steve Bannon (61:56)

Jack, Anita, take a minute and talk about Pennsylvania for a second. In 16, when we won, I think we won Ohio by a couple of points, but it was kind of hanging in the balance to right to the end. In 24, I think we won Pennsylvania by, or excuse me, Ohio by 10 points. When you say Pennsylvania is the new Ohio. And I think we won by 120,000 votes this time. What was it that you and Pressler and Charlie Kirk and Turning Point usa, what was actually the work that you guys did to turn Pennsylvania into the new Ohio?

Stephen K. Bannon (62:29)

Well, Steve, it's, it's what we were doing was being able to spread the fact that Donald Trump's message was the message for the working class. Pennsylvania is a Rust Belt state, but in many ways the entire Northeast has those Rust belt voters and New Jersey does as well. The working class voters of these areas, the farmers of New Jersey, by the way, people, people don't even understand so much of South Jersey. Central Jersey actually is farmland. The blueberries of New Jersey people might know about. These are areas where you've got people that are natural republic constituents. But Steve, they were totally checked out of the party, the party of Paul Ryan, the party of Mitt Romney, the party of John McCain. They were sick of the wars, they were sick of the corporate handouts, they were sick of all of it. And they saw all the financial corruption with Jon Corzine when he was air literally lifted in from Goldman Sachs. They didn't want any of it. No. What they wanted was a state and a government that would work for them, that would deliver those jobs, that would deliver freedom from crime, that would liberate them from illegal aliens, by the way. And Steve, New Jersey is one of the highest states per capita for illegal aliens and it's nowhere near the border. It's because they've made the entire state a sanctuary state. And to activate those voters that could come out on that issue and so many of these other issues, Steve, the issue of housing obviously being a huge issue with this huge influx of people that should not be in this, in this state. That is how New Jersey can be flipped the same way Pennsylvania was.

Donald Trump (63:56)

Jack.

Steve Bannon (63:57)

Jack, you're going to speak, we're going to come back to the stage. We're going to interview. Also you're going to tell us more about the two candidates. We got to go to the Oval Office. Your Commander in Chief and President States has taken the podium again. Let's go back to the Oval, get back to Jack Posovic in a moment.

Donald Trump (64:10)

So it's, it's really, it's going to be incredible. And that's going to be so good for Medicaid and Medicare and everything, frankly, for your life, it's going to be so good. So nobody ever thought they were going to see. And don't let Democrats take the credit because you know, they'll try. They'll say, oh, we worked so hard. And they didn't work hard. They did. They obstructed. They actually did the opposite. So that's really more important than even the tremendous investments being made in our country. But think of it, we cracked 18 trillion with a T. Trillion dollars. And frankly, $1 trillion for four years wasn't that bad. He did less than a trillion dollars. But we did that in a period of eight months. So it's pretty, pretty record shattering by many trillions of dollars. Any country, no matter what country you're talking about, nobody has done numbers like that. So thank you all for being here. Do you want to have a couple of questions? Yeah, please, Mr. President.

Steve Bannon (65:04)

One on this, if I could. One on China If I may first on this, could you have brought these.

Benny Johnson (65:09)

Pharmaceutical companies to the table without that.

Steve Bannon (65:11)

100% tariff that you imposed?

Donald Trump (65:13)

Well, it's not 100% you're talking about. China might be 100% you imposed on.

Steve Bannon (65:18)

Pharmaceuticals for that sector.

Donald Trump (65:19)

I would never have been able to bring them. Now, I'm not sure that Pascal would like to say, but behind the scenes, he did say tariffs were a big reason he came here. And also the fact he loved Virginia, he liked this guy, he liked me. I think the November 5th election was a very important date. We had a good election, and that was important. But, yeah, he's here. A lot of. A lot of. I can speak for almost everybody that's here. Most of them are here because of tariffs, because you have to understand, he has no tariffs. If you build in this country, there are no tariffs. So let me ask you about China.

Benny Johnson (65:51)

If I could just want to confirm.

Steve Bannon (65:53)

Have you canceled?

Benny Johnson (65:55)

You're meeting with President Xi and.

Donald Trump (65:56)

No, I haven't. So. But I don't know that we're going to have it, but I'm going to be there regardless. So I would assume we might have it. But, you know, they hit the world with something that really is not anything that people are going to do. And. And it's. It was shocking, I can tell you. Howard and I and Todd, we all. We all. Scott, we were all speaking about it before, and it was. We said, where did that come from? It was just. That was out of the blue. Right. Out of the blue. They came up with this whole import export concept, and nobody, nobody knew anything about it.

Benny Johnson (66:34)

They rolled back their export controls. The new announcement.

Donald Trump (66:37)

Would you hold back? We're going to have to see what happens. That's why I made it November 1st. We'll see what, what happens. Yeah.

Katie (66:43)

Mr. President, the last time.

Donald Trump (66:44)

Mr. President, go ahead, please.

Katie (66:46)

What else besides software could be on the table in terms of export control?

Donald Trump (66:49)

A lot more. A lot more. I mean, you have. You have. You have a lot more. We have airplanes. We have airplane parts. You remember that from last time. And we were just surprised that China have a very good relationship with President Xi, and they did that. This is not something that I, you know, instigated. This was just a response to something that they did. And they didn't really aim it at us. They aimed it at the whole world. The whole world is subject to it. So I thought it was very, very bad. But we have many things, including a big thing is airplane. They have a lot of Boeing planes, and they need parts and Lots of things like that. Steve, how did you persuade Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Meddeb to accept the Gaza deal? And what will be your message to the Knesset when you speak to them? Well, he wanted it. You know, it's been a long time. He's been fighting a long time. He's been fighting hard. He wanted it. It's a great deal for Israel, but it's a great deal for everybody, for Arabs, for Muslims, for everybody, for the world. And as you know, on Monday, the hostages come back. They're getting them now. I mean, they're getting them now. They're in some pretty rough places under earth. They're in some pretty rough places where only a few people know where they are in some cases. So they're getting them. And they're also getting the bodies, approximately 28 bodies. And some of those bodies are being unearthed right now as we speak. I mean, they're working on it right now as we speak. It's a tragedy. It's a tragedy. No, he was very happy with it. And I can tell you that I saw Israel dancing in the streets, but they were dancing in Qatar and Saudi Arabia and UAE and many, many countries. I saw Egypt, they were dancing. I'll be going to Israel. I'll be speaking at the Knesset, I think, early on, and then I'm also going to Egypt. They were terrific, but all of the countries were great. Indonesia was great. Jordan was great. They were all great. Everybody, Everybody wants this deal to happen. What happens in Gaza the day after the hostage boys? Day after what? The day after the hostage release, what happens there then? Well, hopefully you're going to have great success for I call it everlasting success. I think you will, too. I think. I think you're going to have tremendous success. And Gaza is going to be rebuilt, and you have some very wealthy countries, as you know, over there, and it would take a small fraction of their wealth to do that, but. And I think they want to do it. And we're also. We're also setting up, as you know, a board of peace. It's called the Board of Peace. I don't know if that's the final name, but the word peace is definitely in there. And they asked me if I chair it, we'll make sure things go well. And how confident are you that the ceasefire will hold? I think it will hold. Yeah, I think it will hold. They're all tired of the fighting. Don't Forget you had October 7th, which was a horrible day, 1,200 people killed, but Hamas has lost 58,000 people. That's big retribution. That's big retribution. People understand that. So, no, I think they're all tired of fighting. And this really gives the whole Middle East. This is beyond Gaza. Gaza is very important, but this is beyond Gaza. This is peace in the Middle East. And it is a beautiful thing. You know, it's a term that you and I have been hearing since we were very young, right? And now we have a chance of really having that. And as you know, most of the countries have passed all these resolutions. Every country is there. Iran came in. I was very happy to see that. I was very honored that Iran came in. They said they support it. Russia came in. President Putin, he supports it fully, very fully. So I was happy to see even countries that weren't necessarily involved in the process, they all support it. I don't know of anybody that does it. And I've never seen happier people than many of these places, not just Israel, many of these places, they're all dancing on the streets. I've never seen anything like it. Mr. President. Mr. Go ahead, please, in the back.

Steve Bannon (71:01)

What guarantee did you give Hamas to persuade them that Israel won't restart the.

Benny Johnson (71:05)

Bombing campaign once the hostages have been exchanged?

Donald Trump (71:08)

What did I do with respect to them? Well, you know, I spoke a little bit tough, and that's what would happen. I mean, you have to speak to. If it's a. That's a tough world, that's a tough, as they say, neighborhood. And they're tough people. They're very tough people. And they're smart people. They're good negotiators. You know, they have a lot of things going. They put that to good use. They're going to be very, very successful. But they knew the retribution would be tremendous. Unsustainable. It would have been unsustainable. Would have been. It would have been complete obliteration. And they didn't want that, and nobody wants it at this point. They want to get on with, you know, rebuilding the entire Middle East. It's not only Gaza. It's going to be the entire Middle East. They're going to be able to live in peace. Now, we have some little hotspots, but they're very small. You know, the ones I'm talking about. They're very small. They'll be very easy to put out. Those fires are going to be put out very quickly. Yes, ma'.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (72:06)

Am.

Katie (72:06)

Thank you, Mr. President.

Steve Bannon (72:08)

Talking about the Middle east still going.

Katie (72:10)

To the phases that come after this first phase, is there consensus on the.

Steve Bannon (72:14)

Additional points in your plan or Are.

Donald Trump (72:16)

The details still being fine tuned? I think there is consensus on most of it and some of the details, like anything else, will be worked out because you'll find out that when you're sitting in a beautiful room in Egypt, you know, it's easy to work something out, but then sometimes it doesn't work from a practical standpoint. So certain little things, but for the most part, there's consensus. Yes. Do you intend to hash that out when you're in Egypt? I might, yeah. I mean, I'll be there because I'll be going to. I think we'll. I'll go to Cairo. I think that's where we're going as opposed to the place of the signing. And we have a lot of leaders from all over the world coming to, you know, they've been invited. And then I'm coming back. I believe it's Tuesday night for Charlie Kirk, a friend of mine, a friend of all of ours, a friend of a lot of the people right here, and we're giving him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which is the highest honor you get outside of the Congressional Medal of Honor. One's military, one's civilian, but it's the greatest honor. And Eric, his beautiful wife, is going to be here and a lot of people are going to be here. So, you know, it's not easy for me to get back. It's a very quick trip, but I'll be making two major stops and then I'll be on the plane trying to get back in in time for Charlie. They're going to have a great celebration at the White House in the East Room of the White House.

Katie (73:37)

Russell Boat said the reductions in force have begun related to this shutdown. How many layoffs have you authorized for.

Steve Bannon (73:45)

This first round and from which agencies?

Donald Trump (73:46)

And it will be Democrat oriented because we figure, you know, they started this thing so they should be Democrat oriented. It'll be a lot, and we'll announce the numbers to over the next couple of days, but it'll be a lot of people, all because of the Democrats. I mean, they want to give one and a half trillion dollars to people that came into the country illegally. More important than that, because we all have a big heart. We want people to be taken care of. But, you know, we have zero people coming in. You know that. Glenn. Right. It's. That's a pretty impressive number even for a successful governor, but we've had for the last four months zero people coming in illegally. They're coming in, but they're coming in legally. They're Coming in through a process that's really a really good process right now because we want people to come in, but they have to come in legally. So what we're doing is as, as these different groups come due, we're going to make a determination do we want them or not. And, and I must tell you, a lot of them happen to be Democrat oriented. These are people that the Democrats wanted that in many cases were not appropriate. We fought them at the time and it was ultimately signed in. And some of these people, these are largely people that the Democrats want. Many of them will be fired. Yes, please, behind the morning.

Steve Bannon (75:02)

Your thoughts?

Donald Trump (75:03)

Which one?

Steve Bannon (75:04)

The Nobel Peace Prize. Your thoughts?

Donald Trump (75:06)

Look, I. Including a very big one. And I'm not sure, you know, when you say big, it's certainly, I think to the mind of most, the most important deal ever made in terms of peace. But the one we just signed, it's been signed, sealed and it's going to start taking place now. It's already started. Monday is going to be a very big day when the hostages come back. But I made eight deals, transactions of wars. One was 31 years going on. 10 million people were killed. One was 34 years. One was 36, 37. One was 10. One was just starting. Two were just starting actually, but they were well on their way. In the case of India and Pakistan, seven planes were shot down. It was, it was a bad one. And I did it largely through trade. I mean, that one, numerous of them. I talked tariffs. I said, look, if you're going to do that, we're going to put very big tariffs on your country. And they were both great. They, they stopped fighting and they were two nuclear power. So, you know, they're all big. They're every one of them big. You take, you take a look at the Congo, you take a look at the Congo and Rwanda. 10 million people killed over a long period of time. Got that one solved. We did a total of eight as of this two days ago, I would have said seven, which I did say. But the other one was signed up, sealed, as you know, the Israel signed it just now. They signed it and they approved it today, their parliament. And it's a great honor to be involved with so many. So the person who actually got the Nobel Prize called today, called me and said, I'm accepting this in honor of you because you really deserved it. A very nice thing to do. I didn't, I didn't say, then give it to me though, because I think she might have, she was very nice and I've Been. You know, I've been helping her along the way. They need a lot of help in Venezuela. It's a basic disaster. So. And you could also say it was given out for 24, and I was running for office in 24. You know, all of the transactions that we did in terms of closing. But there are those that say we did so much that they should have done it. But I don't take. I'm happy because they saved millions of lives, many millions of lives. And speaking of somebody that saves lives, don't ever play golf with it, because Keegan Bradley just walked in, one of the greatest golfers in the world, the captain of the Ryder Cup. And, man, I'll tell you, you did a good job. You almost came back. I turned on. I said, you know, I sort of turned off. It wasn't looking good. And then a little while later, I turned on. I said, you guys might make. That would have been the miracle. What a great job. He's respected by those golfers like nobody. And I just want to compliment you, Keegan. That was an incredible job right here. We have a lot of unfriendly fake news media, but. And he's not used to that. He's used to getting only good publicity. I think, Howard, these are all golfers. But you're some golfer, I'll tell you that. And some. Some leader. Thank you very much. Great job. Thank you, Mr. President.

Katie (78:10)

On China.

Donald Trump (78:11)

Yeah, please.

Steve Bannon (78:11)

On immigration, ICE are making arrests, target.

Donald Trump (78:15)

Arrests at courthouses in New York City and around the country, arresting criminals. That's right. Yeah, go ahead. I'm happy about it. I want them to arrest criminals. And if you take a look at D.C. a year ago, D.C. was this. Our great capital was a very unsafe place. You know that Some of you were mugged and talk openly about it. Some of the media was mugged. But right now, D.C. is one of the safest places in the whole country. The restaurants are booming. They're opening up new restaurants. The restaurants are all closing now. You can't get into a restaurant. They're opening up new restaurants. It took 12 days for us. We sent in not politically correct military. We sent him in based on merit. You know, we won the case in the Supreme Court. Everything now is based on merit. Our country was founded on things based on merit. Like Keegan Bradley is not going to be playing golf if he wasn't a great player. He said he shoots lower scores. It's. Boy, there's no more merit system than that one. Keegan. Right. If you miss a putt, they don't say, oh, that's okay, let's take it again, do they? No, it's based on merit. Everything's based on merit. And we're back to the merit system. And when they saw that military, that military is all about merit. They're big, strong people that want to. They're patriots, too. And you take a look at D.C. and now we're in Memphis. And Memphis was really crime ridden. It was terrible. A lot of people being killed. And they say in 12 days, they can't even believe how much better it is. And it'll take probably a month over there. And we're heading to Chicago because we want to save Chicago. Do you know they had over 4,000 people killed in Chicago? Over a short 4,000 people. And I have to watch this slob of a governor stand up and say that, well, everything's okay. We've got it under control. They had 4,000 people murdered over a very short period of time. There's not a city in the world I don't believe that can claim. You know, you hear so much about different. I won't, you know, embarrass anybody like by saying Mexico City or by saying anywhere in Afghanistan. There's no place like that. And then I have to listen to the mayor who's got a 5% approval rate, maybe less. He's an incompetent man, and the governor is an incompetent guy. He's a guy that was thrown out of his family business like a dog. And his. I know his family very well. And now he's a governor. And when I watch him trying to say that it's okay, we have crime under control. He lost 4,000 people over a very short period of time. Over, I believe it's like 6,7000 people were shot but didn't die, but 4,000 people died. And then he gets up and talks about how it's not a problem or Portland, Oregon. I mean, every time I look at that place, the place is burning down. There's fires all over the place. When a store owner. There are very few of them left. But when a store owner rebuilds a store, they build it out of plywood. And they don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up because they know it's going to be ripped down. And then I hear how wonderful it is. It's not wonderful. It's a disaster that's almost an insurrection in that place. So we put our people in there and they do the job and they've really done the job. And the beautiful thing is we've done it. 12 days we had this place safe, and now it's. I would say within a month it was beautiful. And it continues to be. That was three months ago. I'll tell you, D.C. now is one of the hottest places, just like this country. We were a dead country. And you've heard me say it a hundred times. We were a dead country. King of Saudi Arabia said it. Others say the Emir of Qatar said it. Many UAE said it. The leader, great leader. Uae, all great leaders. They said effectively the same thing. One year ago, we had a dead country. Now we have the hottest country anywhere in the world. I just want to thank everybody and I want to in particular thank AstraZeneca. What a great country company you have, what a company you've built. You've been there a long time and done some job. It's an honor to have you. I assume you're going to build. So it's 4.4.5 billion for a plant. That's a pretty big plant, isn't it? I was going to say, could he make it a little bit more. Well, we have a couple of them where they're going to spend 65 billion on one plant. You know, AI all I know is it's, you know, AI is based on information. I hope they're right about information. I don't know. You're going to make a lot of money to. It's got to be a lot of information out there, but that seems to be pretty hot. But we have a lot. We're. We're leading the world on information on AI as you know, by a lot. It's not even close. So we're doing a job. And I want to thank everybody, but in particular Pascal. Thank you very much. It's a great honor. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, everybody. Have a good time.

Katie (83:13)

Thank you. Thank you.

Donald Trump (83:16)

Thank you.

Katie (83:17)

Thanks, guys. Thank you. Thank you.

Steve Bannon (83:21)

The President, United States. That's the. The young woman you saw in the pink will come up. That's the wrangler. There she is right there. She's trying to be polite, but she's getting the media out of the Oval Office. That door that the President is standing next to right now, that goes back into where the small dining room is, where. Where the President spends a lot of the working day having people come in. He can keep up to date on the media. Right. Off to the left is a room, and he'll take these folks back there right now. Look at how he's done with the portraits. It's amazing. He's changed. There's a small room back there. It's where, how do I say this politely in the family hours where Bill Clinton would chat with Monica Lewinsky. Right. So we never use it in the first term. At least when I was there, I think we tried to have an exorcism there. President Trump's done something great with his second term. He's turned it in kind of to a market, a little marketing, mini marketing department for merch. This is where he will go back and show after bilats the leaders of the different nations. He'll show him some of the Trump merchandise, you know, President Trump, make America great again, etc. His favorite ball cap, the one that he keeps now double stocked is Trump 2028. This is the. But this is where he put, he picked the lids, he picked those hats and put them on the table when Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries were over to talk about the deal, to talk about the government shutdown where President Trump just dismissed it. If you remember that shot where he puts the Trump 28 hats. 2028 hats. That's where he's got them, right in that little room. So he'll go back there right now probably with some of these executives from The British company AstraZeneca, who's now signed a new deal to lower dramatically lower drug prices. Okay, so we finished in the Oval Office. Want to thank Denver and our staff here for doing a, a good juggle. We're going to go back, we're going to take a short commercial break. Here's what we're going to take a short commercial break and we're going to, when we return, we're going to go back to Wildwood, New Jersey. Jack Posobic is scheduled to speak. I think we got Cliff Maloney speak. Scott Pressler, we have the gubernatorial candidate Jack Ciarelli is going to speak. So we want to get there. It's a little brisk up there in Wildwood, as you imagine. Tons of breaking news today. Two of the biggest things I'm just putting up now, the lead story in the Daily Mail, the Chinese Communist Party. Let's be blunt, double cross. The president states this is dealing with rare earths and particularly magnets, these things that are essential to industrial production. They caught the, the president put out a true social earlier. They've caught the Chinese Communist Party doing what? Being what the Chinese Communist Party always is, which is a bunch of double dealing thugs. They've sent other countries of the world trying to restrict, excuse me, trying to restrict sending rare earths to the United States, also trying to mess with the United States tariffs. Anyway, the intelligence and the Commerce Department, the Treasury Department has caught the Chinese Communist Party really trying to undercut the United States of America. And President Trump put a true social he's, I think he's adding 100% tariff to Chinese goods. And he was pretty brutal in this, in the tariff situation. Stock market took a big hit at the end of the day, as you imagine. Equities are very nervous about what's going on. I think it's leading as what we've always said. Remember, I pride myself on being the leader of the anti CCP movement here in the United States of America, along with Lao Beijing and the new federal state of China. And, you know, the Committee on the Present Danger, so many things we've worked on. You can't trust them. They're an existential threat to the American people. More importantly, they're an existential threat to the Chinese people. Lao Baijing Old hundred names. We've said this time and time and time again, and they will show their true colors. Their true colors are a brutal, brutal form of hypocrisy, and it's one of the most brutal dictatorships in the history of mankind. President Trump confronting it today. Stock market off. Make sure you check. This is the time. You know, back to gold being a hedge, not just a asset for central banks. It's been a hedge for 5,000 years of geopolitical risk, geopolitical turbulence, financial turbulence. Birchgold.com, the end of the dollar empire.

Do you feel it, New Jersey? Did you see I was on Fox the other day and when I was on Fox, I was able two times within one minute to give her, per the moniker Mikey Cheating Scandal. Cheryl for those of you who don't know me, my name is Scott Pressler. I am. I love you. I love you. You took a state that went double digits for Joe Biden within 5 percentage points of electing Donald Trump in New Jersey. You did that.

Scott Pressler (95:46)

Let's go.

Donald Trump (95:58)

USA. USA. USA. USA. U.S.A.

Steve Bannon (96:07)

Couldn'T be prouder Scott Pressler. Remember years ago when Scott first started on War Room? And coming on, just wandering around Pennsylvania and Ohio, other places like that, doing voter registrations, going in parking lots. He still does it. The reason people love Scott is he will do the work. What I'm really, really proud of is the fact that he just keeps knocking down. Okay, we got some of the governors. I see that booted up.

Donald Trump (96:28)

Are we ready?

Steve Bannon (96:29)

The gubernatorial candidate. As soon as we're ready to go. I want to play a little bit of Chitterelli. Let's go and play Jack Cittarelli's this is a Dog fight. He's only a couple points down. This is all about get out the vote. We're going to now hear his speech up in Wildwood, New Jersey.

Scott Pressler (96:44)

Let me tell you one of the big differences between me and my opponent. I know where the hell Wildwood is. I know where Cape May county is. I know where South Jersey is. Here's another big difference. I think Pork roll is beautiful. And despite last night, yesterday. Go Eagles. Go Birds. Go Birds. Sorry, you Philly fans. I'm a Yankee fan. I'm in therapy, too. I got really good news for all of you. In 24 days, we declare victory. We're winning this race. There are positive signs everywhere. We are out fundraising. My opponent. We are out polling my opponent. We tell the truth. She lies. That's a sign of a desperate candidate. And yesterday I picked up another endorsement from another prominent Democrat here in the state of New Jersey. Those Democratic endorsements prove that everybody wants change. Not just Republicans, Independents, unaffiliated, moderate Democrats, too. It all started about six weeks ago when I had a rally just like this at a cafe restaurant up in Dover, Morris County. What's the significance of that? It's the heart of the legislative district of my opponent, Mikey Sherrill. We had a couple hundred people there, and in walked the mayor of Dover, a Democrat who endorsed me on njtv. Two weeks later, it was up in Garfield, the fifth largest town in our most populated county, Bergen County. There, the mayor endorsed me. And two minutes after he endorsed me, he said, what the hell? I'm registering Republican. And last night, it was one of the most prominent mayors, Democratic mayors in all Bern County, Nick Sacca. We're proud to have their endorsement. It's confirmation. Nobody wants four more years of Phil Murphy. Nobody wants Murphy 2.0. No. I got to tell you, though, the most fun I had was back in Dover the day we had that rally, when the Democratic mayor walked in at the cafe restaurant, a Woman walked in not realizing just what the hell. She walked into a Ciattarelli for Governor rally. And she came over to me kind of defiantly, and she said, I want you to know something, Mikey Sherrill is my congresswoman. And I really like the job that she's doing representing me in Washington D.C. i said, Ma', am, that's why I'm here. You vote for me, I'll make sure she stays. You're congresswoman. There was a pregnant pause, and then she looked up at me and said, I think I might like you. I said, that's what this is all about. Because the more you see and hear, Mikey, the less you're gonna like. We are gonna expect the next do. The what we're gonna do over the next 24 days, what we've been doing every day since June 11, telling the people New Jersey who Mikey Sher really is. She wants you to think she's a Jersey girl. She no Jersey girl. She wants you to think she's a centrist. A centrist. She supported Joe Biden's open border policies. She supported Joe Biden's inflationary policies. She voted no on the Lake and Riley Act. Let me see if I get this. Let me see if I get this. You came here illegally. Crime number one, you broke the law once you got here. Crime number two, we're not going to detain and deport you. She voted no. This mother of two daughters voted yes twice to allow biological boys to participate in girls sports. That's one of those 8020 issues here in New Jersey. This is somebody who endorsed the socialist Democrat out of New York, Mondame. He's endorsed her. Somebody who supports sanctuary cities, us being a sanctuary state. Somebody who broke federal law for stock trades and stock reporting and can't explain how her net worth has increased by 7 million in the six years she's been in Congress. This is somebody who voted no on the big beautiful bill. Think about this for a second. You're now allowed to deduct up to $40,000 of your property taxes on your federal tax return. Families with young kids get to double the child care tax credit. There's no tax on tips, overtime and Social Security. And it provides a magnificent tax credit for those who send their kids to private school. She voted no. We've seen this before. Here's the problem. John Corazon came here from Illinois. That didn't work out so well. They brought Phil Murphy in from Massachusetts. This hasn't worked out so well. My opponent's not from New Jersey, so I got a really simple idea. How about we elect a Jersey guy? Let's elect the Jersey guy. Now, fasten your seatbelts because here's how it goes down over the last 24 days. If you get a flat tire on the way home tonight, it's President Trump's fault. There is nothing this woman won't blame on the president. Her entire campaign, her entire campaign is based on a stack of lies about me. Her disdain for the president. She can fly a helicopter. Is that going to fix the state of New Jersey? And if anybody believes that I'm raising their sales tax to 10%, I'll show you a damn unicorn. There's nothing this world won't lie about. Nothing. Love you back. Love you back. So what we're going to talk about throughout the rest of this campaign is what we've been doing every day since the day after primary, talking about how we're going to fix New Jersey under Governor Chiatarelli Executive order number one. On day one, no town in this state will be a sanctuary city. We will not be a sanctuary state. Executive order number two, we're bringing back to work our state workers. They work for us. Let them get back to work and serve the people of this state. State who pay their salaries. Also on day one, I give you an attorney general.

Steve Bannon (103:15)

We're going to go ahead it the wrong way. I got to learn to work my own buttons. I criticize all the guests when they come on, when they don't know how to take it off mute. We're going to take a short commercial break here and right now and we kind of come back right there you saw and that was pure Jersey. That's what I love about the candidate. He's not an import from Massachusetts. Illinois, you're seeing Jersey right there. Wildwood's down in South Jersey. They root for the Phillies. Of course, you know the line that you go as you go up the Jersey Turnpike, all of a sudden it turns in they're rooting for the Giants and the, well, I guess not the jets, but the Giants and the Yankees. Down south, it's the Phillies and the Eagles. We're going to come back to Wildwood, New Jersey. Our own Jack Posobec will also be speaking. Cliff Maloney will be speaking. There's a lot going on.

Scott Pressler (104:44)

Any one of my teachers or any one of the local cops. There was a tool at home that was coming out. It was called the wooden spoon. I just thank the good lord there was no Costco when I was growing up and let me tell you why. Have you seen the size of those friggin wooden spoons at Costco? My mother had more than one. She broke one of my older brother. I was laughing, she went down, got the second one, took it out on me. I wouldn't suggest any of you parents try that with your kids today. They probably have an attorney. But Mike, I turned out okay, didn't I? Listen, Bill's character, the wooden spoon builds character. This summer I was working the boardwalk here in Wildwood and I saw a guy with a T shirt said I survived the wooden spoon. I went and got that boat. I went and got that boat. Something else I want you to know as governor, I'm not owned by any special interests. Phil Murphy, my opponent are owned by the special interests, the NJEA union leadership. Teachers are not bad, but their union leadership is bad. CWA state workers aren't bad, but the union leadership is bad. Garden State equality and on down the line, they own your governor right now and they'll own Micah Sheryl. She were to win this election. Once your governor's own, they're compromised and once they're compromised, it's over. You don't need to worry about that with me. But the third thing you don't need to worry about with one bit. Unlike governors on both sides of the aisle over the last 40 years, every single one of them has used this position to try to get somewhere else, most notably Washington D.C. know this. I've been asked to run for Congress. Answer has been and will be continue to be no. I've been asked to run for U.S. senate. Answer has been and will continue to be no. Chairman Donahue has not asked me to run for president. But the answer is no. And I don't want to write a book. I just want to write the ship. Let's write the ship. Let's get it Done. Now, you all know what it is I'm gonna do over the next 24 days. What I've been doing every day for the past four years. Because I'm more determined than ever. Because we're the ones that can fix this state. But now it's time for the call to action. What are you gonna do over the next 24 days? Every single one of you. Every single one of you. Every single one of you has a sphere of influence. Don't ever underestimate the power of the personal testimonial. In your neighborhoods, in your houses of worship, at your places of work, in your communities, wherever you might be, tell people what's at stake. Now, you're never going to hear me say this is the most important election of our lifetime. I believe that every election is equally important for different reasons. But I'll tell you this, and I know you're with me. The future of our state hangs in the balance. We cannot afford another four years of Phil Murphy's policies. And make no mistake, if my opponent were to be elected, it's not only going to get worse, it's going to get worse. Okay? We cannot afford another four years, so do all that you can. Okay? We've had enormous registration gangs in the 47 months since I ran for governor. Over the last 47 months, there are 100,000 fewer registered Democrats and 200,000 more registered Republicans. That's affirmation that we're right when it comes to these issues. But we are still the minority party, which means we cannot take anything for granted. You do your part, I'm going to do mine. And I'm telling you here and now, 24 days, we're celebrating a victory. We're turning this state red, and we're pointing New Jersey in a different direction. Now, back in 2021, with the wind in my face, with me at the top of the ticket, we flipped 134 seats at the municipal county level, winning in places we hadn't won in decades. We flipped over 200 board of education seats. We flipped eight legislative seats, including beating the longest sitting state Senate president in the country. This time around, we've got some wind in our back. And I'm telling you here now, with that wind in our back and with us right about these issues, we can flip 13 seats in the legislature. When we do that, we get the 41. What's 41? Republican majority for the first time in 25 years. So let's get this done. It's time. It's time, guys. Let's go. Let's get it done. Thank you for being out here today. Championship teams finish strong. Let's get this done. It's time. Let's go.

Steve Bannon (109:43)

That is a leader right there. Amazing speech. Let's go to the main stage. We got Jack Posovic just coming up right now. We're going to go right live to Wildwood, New Jersey. Jack Pasovic.

Stephen K. Bannon (110:28)

I love you, too, New Jersey. God. God, only God, because, you know, ladies and gentlemen, let's. Let's hear it up for all the organizers tonight for putting this together, for all the people who have been here. And from the bottom of my heart, I want to say thank you to all the people that have said prayers for us, that have been there for.

Donald Trump (111:01)

Us.

Stephen K. Bannon (111:05)

And who have spent that time to say, you know what? I am not going to let these terrorist tactics scare me that the people of New Jersey are not going to be scared to go down to the Seaport Pier and to come out and say, you know something?

Scott Pressler (111:24)

If you.

Stephen K. Bannon (111:25)

You want New Jersey, you gotta come through us. And I say that as a guy who's not a son of New Jersey. I'm a son of Pennsylvania. Yes, I am. But I'll tell you something right now. I spent almost every single summer of my life going down to shore right here in Wildwood or Ocean City or Avalon or K. Cape May or Seattle, going down to their surf mall. I saw my. The very first humpback whale I ever saw in my life was going off of the Cape May ferry down to Loos. Look, I spent my entire summer coming down New Jersey, my entire childhood. I'll tell you something. I know about New Jersey. New Jerseyans are tough. New Jerseyans are some of the toughest people on the face of the entire planet. On the face of the entire Earth. And my friend Charlie Kirk knew that. My friend Charlie Kirk knew that in spades. New Jersey, this is the state of Thomas Edison. New Jersey. New Jersey is the state of Frank Sinatra. New Jersey is the state of Joe Pesci, and New Jersey is the state of Tony Soprano. All right? And it really is. James Gandolfini is actually from Jersey. Look, folks, a month ago today. And let's. Let's get serious. Can I pull this off or I'll pull this off? Because I don't. I don't want to do the thing. A month ago today, I was on. I was on television. I was doing my show, Real America's Voice, Human Events Daily. Some fans.

Donald Trump (113:07)

Thank you.

Stephen K. Bannon (113:07)

We were on with Steve Bannon in the war room. And my show comes right on after the Charlie Kirk Show. And Charlie was on campus. We knew he was down there. And Utah Valley University. And, you know, we were sending messages back and forth. We're always in. You got the group chat going. And Media Matters is always trying to sneak in there because they know that's where the real stuff goes down. And we got that message, and I got it during a break, and I had to call the staff, and we got it. I'm not gonna say who it was, but we got ahold of somebody, and he was still running. It's a member of our staff who was still running from the gun shop because he didn't know if there was gonna be more and trying. But he wasn't running just to save himself. He was saying, I want to make sure that everyone's okay. I want to see if everyone. Anyone needs help. And I said, is it true what happened, what they're saying happened at Charlie. The video hadn't come out yet. He said, it's true. And I said, how bad? He said, it's bad. And we prayed, and we got together and we prayed. That was one month ago today.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (114:22)

That.

Stephen K. Bannon (114:22)

A member of the violent left murdered Charlie Kirk before our eyes. And also before our eyes, we saw tens of thousands of them celebrating and laughing and cheering and saying how great it was. That is them. That is not who we are. That is not what we stand for, because we do not stand for that kind of violence. We do not stand for that kind of hate. We are the people, people that stand for one another. We stand for each other. We stand for our country.

Jack Posobec (114:57)

And look, I know when we got.

Stephen K. Bannon (114:59)

An election, it's red and blue, but we know at the end of the day, this is.

Donald Trump (115:03)

This.

Steve Bannon (115:03)

This. This is the war room. We're passing over to Grant Stinchfield. They're going to continue with Jack Posobec on stage in commemoration. Charlie Kirk. Let's return to Wildwood.

Scott Pressler (115:15)

Charlie. Charlie. Charlie. Charlie. Charlie.

Donald Trump (115:20)

Charlie.

Scott Pressler (115:21)

Charlie. Charlie.

Donald Trump (115:23)

Charlie.

Stephen K. Bannon (115:24)

And I tell you something, folks. They couldn't beat him in a debate, so they shot him. And they thought that that would side.
