Loading summary
Jenny
A state you know well, okay, so James Talarico is the Democrat. Here are some recent headlines. The voting opens in this corn. Impact and runoff polls show November risk that there's a dead heat. And then the New York Times saying this Texas Democrat is outraising his GOP opponents. But will that matter in the end? You see some media starting to say that Talarico's got a real chance here.
John Cornyn Supporter
Well, first of all, I want to be clear. I'm a John Cornyn fan of many years standing. We're close personal friends, and I'm for him and helping him. But so color that, if you will, Talarico has no chance against Cornyn in the general election, in my opinion, against Paxton, who's got a say. Storied and corrupt background. It was impeached by the Texas House of Representatives over it that they will spend every moment between now and November talking about the multiple girlfriends and the favors that corrupt business people did for got done by the Attorney General in return for having done favors for him. We'll hear about the Uber account that allows us to track how many times he went to his mistress, his apartment. We'll have the, you know, the, the trust that from somebody he met in a Dairy Queen that allowed him eight properties from Hawaii to Florida increases his. His net worth by about 7,000% while making $154,000 a year. As Attorney General, we. They will spend every moment between now and November not talking about the issues, but talking about it.
Jenny
Hasn't Cornyn done that to Paxton?
John Cornyn Supporter
And that's why I think he will. He will. Well, first of all, he. He did. But, but they will spend, you know, in the runoff, maybe 30 or million dollars in the general election. You can count on the democrats putting in 200 or 300, because even if they lose,
Steve
that's all folks. Ro, you got your ass kicked. You and the Bush family got your ass kicked by Ken Paxton. That's why the moronic. All the Bushes are dumb. But the dumbest was the. Was Jeb Bush's son that went up against Ken Paxton and got his ass whooped. Carl Rover's running that. They've never forgiven Ken Paxton for that, ever. Because Ken Paxton's grassroots. Karl Rove putting out more poison and the 300 million, it's all phony. Here's what you don't assume. The grassroots will never come out and vote for John Cornyn. He's too corrupt. He's too incompetent. He's too much part of the problem. Also, I told you Folks. And here it is. I just want to make sure we can read it right here. Where is it? I got to pull this up in a moment. Where? Okay, I got to get that in a moment. They're getting nasty over in the. They're getting nasty in the Senate. Julie Manchester, Julia Manchester. I think Julia's at the Hill or Politico. We're going to find it here in a second. But I want to read you what she just posted from the Hill. Julia Manchester covers. And I told you the day the Hill had those articles about the first article was how TH and company were looking for an off ramp on the ballroom. That's where the president went out and did an hour of the in the ballroom. We went live and covered all of it. They also had that John TH had said, personally, no, we're not doing this weaponization fun. Not going to happen. And also we're not attaching the Save America Act. You may say it's the most important, but we're not going to attach that to any must pass piece of legislation. Won't pass. I want to give you a quote. This is the Hill newspaper, even as we spoke and I told you this was going to happen after he endorsed him. I want to give a quote from this is a GOP source quote. If the president thought he was going to bend Senate leadership and conference to his will on things like the ballroom, funding to reconciliation three, he might want to quickly reassess his political positioning. His leverage is now pretty much gone. I'm going to make sure. We got to make sure the president of the United States sees that. And we will see how much leverage is gone. John Thune must be removed as the leader in the Senate. This is about Thune. I've told you over and over again they've treated him like a, they're treating the president like a lame duck. He's far from a lame duck. He put a shot across the bow today. This was as much about him sending a message to John Thunan as it was an endorsement of Ken Paxton and the president. As you saw in the 750 word, true social thinks the world of Ken Paxton. Jenny's story, the Patriot Mobile team has been magnificent in the grassroots. Just, just can you respond to Karl Rove? I mean, you're a Texan. He's a Texan. This lie that's going to take $300 million and Talarico is unbeatable. And you know, and then every, you know, Right now, the $150 million, which by the way is going to be invested. There's going to be a massive investigation of why they took $150 million to use it to destroy Ken Paxton. But they spent $150 million destroying Ken Paxton. Karl Rove, he's up 11 points. President Trump saw the poll. He's up 8 points in one, 11 points in the other. Jenny story, your thoughts, ma'? Am? Go ahead.
Jenny
You know, actually, there are great memes that are going around right now. The grassroots is celebrating, and one of them was the fighter that couldn't be canceled. I love that. I mean, we want a fighter. We don't want any more DC bureaucrat who's been there for 24 years. And it's funny, when I was listening to Roe speak about Paxton, it was all about what I mean, it was just, you know, hateful. You know, it was just negative, negative, negative. Tell me, what has Cornyn done? You know, I mean, what about the SAVE Act? I mean, how many people have to say, I want the SAVE act before them to actually take action? You know, we were being held hostage by the SAVE act. And you know, finally, I guess I'm really pleased to see that, you know, Trump just said, you know, you're not going to, you're not going to hold me hostage any longer. I'm going to do the right thing. And I'm, and I'm endorsing Paxton personally. I'm voting for Paxton. And we need a fighter, and we need a fighter who's not a long term D.C. bureaucrat right now.
Steve
If President Trump had stayed out of this race, and we're already into the second day of early voting. So this is why I think it was much a message to Thune, Ken Paxton. And I know because the grassroots organization, you've been doing all these huge meetings, everybody, Paxton's up on polling between 8 and 11 points. The grassroots and the citizens of Texas. And he's only spent a couple of million bucks. He hasn't raised a lot of money. $150 million, you cannot cut on the regular networks. You can't cut on the local. Abc, NBC, for the, for the local news, which is huge in Texas. That local news, he carpet bombs every one of those. It's all over cable, it's all over Fox. And here's the point. It's not about policy. It's literally the politics of personal destruction. It's right. The Democrat playbook. And that has, that's not sitting well with people, is it?
Jenny
No, it's not. And you know, all the grassroots organizations we work with, you Know, the real fighters, they're all endorsing Paxton. If you look at it, their endorsement cards have it. They're going to be out there even if he didn't have any money. You're going to have volunteers and door knockers and precinct chairs that are all going to be out there working for Paxton. Now, hopefully the Republican Conference puts money into Texas because Texas is in play. As we've been talking about, we had 150,000 more Democrats vote. We've got to get those low propensity voters back out to the polls in November. And this negative campaigning that is happening from the D.C. establishment, it's not good. And you know, they've got to flip it around quickly because otherwise they could lose the Senate seat because of their negativity, not because of the grassroots. The grassroots are here. Now, I know you and I were talking earlier, but if Cornyn had won or had been, had been endorsed, I think, I think he might have lost a lot of voters. You know, they would have been very frustrated. Grassroots want a fighter, they want a non DC establishment. And that's what's going to get people off the couch to get to the polls. And that's what we need right now, particularly with the fact that the left is spending so much money in Texas.
Steve
When you're around and going to these leadership meetings and coordinating all the, all the, working with the grassroots, what comes up, what is, because I talk about structure and process, structure is you guys have led the charge on the redistricting. I mean, you delivered for the country on the five seats. And that was a year ago, almost a year ago, on the process. You've got it, you've got the grassroots leaders. You got amazing grassroots network on that middle thing. The content, what are people, when you talk to them to get out the low propensity voter. What are people talking about? What do we have to show them? What does President Trump have to show them? What does Ken Paxton have to show them?
Jenny
Well, I think he has to show them that. Well, one of the issues that you and I have been working on is the whole Sharia issue, right? We've got a serious fight right now in Texas and a lot of people still don't know about it. We got a lot more messaging to do now. March 9th was a great victory in terms of, you know, 2 million people, 95% voting to ban Sharia. But we've got mosques that are opening, you know, taking down churches and reopening as mosques all over Texas. We know of at least 330 of them. Ken has been very strong on that. I mean he's done a lot of activity in terms of, you know, going after epic city and some other large development projects. And what we really need right now is somebody who' swho's educated on the issue who's going to fight for our constitution. We have an incredible nation, an incredible constitution. Sunday was wonderful. I was out in D.C. we were doing the rededication of America and just reminding people of our Christian foundation. And it's, it's the key to what, what makes this country so unique. And right now we need somebody in D.C. fighting for Texas and for the nation. Remember, the senate is for the nation but we need somebody in D.C. who's going to fight to preserve our constitution and keep America great.
Steve
972 Patriot is the number you go to call to talk to one of the folks with the east Texas accent or maybe some people in California that are that or they're going to the bible college. What are they going to find? Why should people switch? Because you have a day job running. Not that Glenn does it, not that Glenn's not the chief marketing officer, the company itself. 972patriot why should somebody switch when there's all these other phone companies?

John Cornyn Supporter

Celebrate Freedom presented by Patriot Mobile and Preborn. Let's celebrate America together.
Steve
Patriot Mobile is going to be part of that. Marty B's is fantastic. If you can get there, go live. Make sure you get a ticket and watch him. I tell you what, the coverage we had of the rededication was incredible. Hat tip to the entire Real American Voice team. That was a long one. Neil McCabe's going to join me in the White House in a moment and we got a package on this morning because this was pure Trump. I'm going to get to that in a second. Garland, Favorito, please explain to this audience, because here's what people don't. Georgia's one of the greatest states in the union. It's an economic powerhouse. You go all over the world and people know Georgia because of the airport. They know Georgia because of the masters. Right. They know Georgia has gone with the wind. They know Georgia for the college football team. You've got so many things that are not just national brands but known throughout the globe. And people say, man, Georgia is great. And yet this voting thing, I'm telling you, man, I talk to people and they go, because we not just a large national artist, we've got a pretty big international artist go, what in the hell is going on there? It's just now we're in the sixth year, you got to go to court. You have this thing and you show us, right, that it's against Georgia code and it's black letter. It's not question. You got this bunker which is once again out of the public eye. You guys go to court, you win. On the morning Sherry Report, the judge gave a order that you're going to have the members of the Georgia election Board. These are not stragglers, right? These are people, the five people in the entire state of Georgia that are on the election board duly appointed. And then right an hour before about to come on the show, the judge rescinds the order. So Sally Grubbs is now going to be down in Cobb County. There's all kinds of other problems, but I think it's the process. And they can say, well, you're going to go to court next week and you're cleaning up for November. We've been hearing this for six years now. If it was not for people like you and Sally Grubbs and a handful of Caroline Jeffords and a handful of great patriots there, the machine would have won, the system would have won. You guys stood in the breach. But people, just what is going on as far as elections? It's like a third world banana republic. Search
Garland Favorito
Steve, do you have an easier question for me? I'm not sure I can answer that one. It's, you can't make this stuff up. As you said, another clear violation of Georgia law. The candidates go in. We had three candidates. The U.S. congressman up in the 14th, Clay Fuller, and the election board members, Sally Grubbs, Dr. Johnston, Janelle King. These are, as you said, these are not slackers. They are some of the top people in the state of Georgia, the greatest patriots. And suddenly the judge rescinds the order. Inexplicably, he's citing the five day rule which he cited in his original order. In his original order, he said that he was going to ignore that because of irreparable harm done by the candidates and the election board members not being able to observe the aggregation of all the statewide votes in this secret bunker for the Georgia Management Emergency Association. This whole thing reeks of the fingerprints of Governor Kemp calling out the chief judge of Fulton County. This was one of the first times we've ever gotten a good ruling out of Fulton County. That was a miracle in itself. But somehow this has flipped over and we're not going to be able to observe tonight, even though I understand Dr. Johnston and some of the others are going to go down anyway. But here's the good news, Steve. It appears that this order will be effective for the runoff, which is very, very important here in Georgia. And that will likely take place because the five day rule is not going to apply there. And you know, if they have another issue, we might end up in federal court on this. But hats off to all these candidates and everybody that came forward to try to support the state election board. And you know, we've got their hands.
Steve
But here's the arrogance of the mentality given everything that's gone on. And then people, you know, you had some of the, the workers sued Rudy Giuliani and almost put Rudy in a bankruptcy and Rudy had to sell his New York place. He's had for 50 years when he's mayor. He moved to Palm Beach. Now he wanted to, but he was forced. The Hoff brothers, Jim Hoff's in a hospital, just come out of a hospital with a major heart problem. They went after the Hoff brothers. It was so vicious. President Trump was going to go to prison because of what they did. And all these other patriots and they wanted to send. They thought Fulton county had Trump. They had him. And Georgia didn't step in. Kemp and those guys didn't step in. They thought they had. Remember that great picture, the mug shot that went around the world was in Georgia. Why was that? They were going to try Trump criminally. Don't forget that. So in that mentality, given everything that went on and accusations here and accusations here, you know, Dave Clements, these guys all made movies about it. The mentality that they think having a secret bunker that they don't have the. This is what I think is so outrageous. And people are so shocked about after six years of doing this and this thing being under microscope, they clearly think that they're better than the system, that they're better than the people, they're better than maga. And then when a judge finally sees it and says no, he can't have it, you got obviously got to have the observers. It says in the code you can't do things that the public can't see. Then he reverses it. People are saying they set up a secret bunker and now the courts down there are supporting it. It just puts the whole system in question. Like there's the people are going now the conspiracy theories are going to start because of how this thing plays out. And you never hear in the gall Kris Carr and Raffensperger. They have the gall, as my mother would say. They have the gall to run for governor, given the horrible job they've done. Sir, this boggles people's minds.
Garland Favorito
Garland well, absolutely. I mentioned on the show this morning some of the just two weeks ago, Brad Raffensperger decided he was going to adjudicate his own election, challenge a challenge against his candidacy and again, violate the law. And a Fulton county judge upheld that. And but just to add to your point there, Steve, just for the audience, they may not remember all this, but Fanny Willis went to the Fulton County Commission saying that she needed another $5 million a year to reduce the murder case backlog in Fulton County. She then, as soon as she got that money, on January 1st of 20 or January of 2022, she indicted 18 of her political adversaries. And on top of that, now we find out this RICO case. She was already in cahoots with the Biden administration and the J6 committee. And the prosecuting attorney's counsel here has found that all 41 of her charges were not prosecutable. And there's no move here yet from the Republicans to impeach her, which is probably too good for she needs to be criminally prosecuted. But it's just this blatant, as you described it, they think they can operate against the law or above the law, and they have been successful at doing that here. And they thought we were going to just go away eventually, but we didn't. So now they've got some real problems.
Steve
Unbelievable. Where do people go to keep up with. We're going to do it again tomorrow after this, because this is outrageous. And you're right, it looks like at least the Senate Republican primary is going to go to a runoff. And this is what they're going to do. They're going to suppress the enthusiasm of grassroots to getting back at these. You can, you can feel in Georgia, there's a different feel in Georgia right now, and you can see it a lot in the Senate race. There's just no heat in this Senate race. And of course, Kemp's candidate, the the football coach seems a good football coach, but not generating heat. You're going to hand Ossoff. They're going to hand Ossoff. The easiest target we should have had in this cycle should have been Ossoff in Georgia. Given the demographics, given what we've done with assigning folks up, it looks like Ossoff right now could win by three points or more because of the grassroots are just not motivated and people are sitting there going, nothing's been changed. We still got the court. If Ossoff wins, then he wins by a couple of points. He immediately goes to the top of the heap of the Democratic Party for 20, 28. Take, write that down right now. Ossoff wins in Georgia. He's going to go to the top of the heap and they're going to look and they're going to say, hey, with all the baggage that Newsom has, this Ossav guy comes from the South. He's not a moderate, he's a radical, but we can market him as a moderate. And that is all because of Kemp. And the political establishment down there has basically just stored at the enthusiasm of the grassroots. And now you have this thing right here. There are no observers. Tonight there was a secret bunker in metropolitan Atlanta. Given everything you had and you don't have the state, this is not asking for marginal people to show up and start watching or MAGA to start watching or Garland Favorito or even some of these great not for profits that make voter integrity, none of that. These are Georgia election board that have a fiduciary responsibility and they're not allowed in there. And then people go, what am I doing this for these elections? Something's wrong and something's clearly rigged. So, Garland, the establishment is doing it to itself in the great state of Georgia. Where do people go to track you down, sir?
Garland Favorito
Yeah, it really is, Steve. The obvious choice there was Mike Collins and Kemp brought in Derek Dooley. He got no traction, as you said. And that's where we are right now. If Kemp puts his money behind. Trump's pretty obvious pick is Mike Collins. Then they can take Jon Ossoff out because this is still a red state. But it requires Kemp and Trump to come together. But voterga.org is our organization, Steve. Thank you for asking. And we again are all volunteer organization. Don't take money. We are at 501c3, nonpartisan, nonprofit and anything that's donated goes straight into legal fees to keep all these lawsuits going and to keep the rhinos and on their toes. And once we're trying to stay one step ahead of them if we can.
Steve
I don't know how you do it, Garland. Not in Georgia. I don't know how you do it. You guys, Sally Grubbs, yourself. Now, we're six years into this, folks. That's what patriots do. They're hammer. They'd be so easy to quit because the system's so screwed up. But they refused to. And that's why we're. If we don't.
Garland Favorito
Yeah. Steve, there's so many great volunteers down here. You could just go on and we, you know, list them. You know, Dr. Johnston, Janelle King, we got Jason Frazier, David Cross. The list goes on and on.
Steve
Well, that's because they're patriots. I mean, this is like 1775. 17. When you, when you think about the 250th anniversary of this, it's those people that stood in the breach in the hardest times. That's what you guys have. You're an inspiration for the entire country. I tell people, if you want to see an inspiration, just look at those folks in Georgia that have gone through everything, bankruptcy that, you know, have felony charges against them, civil charges against them. It's unbelievable. And they have never, they've stood in the breach. They have not flinched. So thank you, sir. Appreciate you. We'll get your back on tomorrow.
Garland Favorito
Thank you, Steve. Also appreciate all you do for us.
Steve

Well, fast forward to today and the US dollar has lost over 85% of its purchasing power. Gold, on the other hand, is increased in value by over 12,000%. That's why Central banks are buying gold at record levels. That's why major firms like Vanguard and BlackRock hold significant positions in gold.

Here's your host, Stephen K. Banner.
Steve
Okay. Also, Philip Patrick is going to be with us tomorrow with the bond market. And look, a bottom line. The chairman of Federal Reserve Kevin Washer. With all the work and fighting to get Kevin Wash approved, I don't think it's in the cards. Do a rate cut in June. I'm no economist, but I see this. The bond market is a little bit mini meltdown right now as rates increase. I know you know that. Could you just look at your credit card? Your next credit card is going to blow up. That's where we got to end this war. President Trump's working with the Arabs who are working with the Persians to try to sort this mess out. You notice I didn't say the Chinese Communist Party missing. Okay, today, the day started off at the Hill newspaper saying that Thune huge article, he's looking for an off ramp for the ballroom because they're not doing the ballroom and he's not going to do. He personally said we're not going to do this weaponization fund. That's not going to happen. And I'm not attaching the Save America act to any must be legislation which the White House has recommended, like fisa. Not going to do any of that. So the President, impromptu. We had a whole show today and we spent an hour and 10 minutes following the President because it was unique. The President goes out to the building site right outside, right? It's the East Wing of the White House. Impromptu for an hour and 10 minutes. We've done a short collection of the highlights. Let's go ahead and see it.
Donald Trump
It's so beautiful. See, I look so thin. They'll say, oh, he's gotten so thin because I'm holding this. You don't have to look at my waist. You can look at this. You saw enough of my waist. Along with President Xi, they like the flat roof. Greece likes the. They call it the triangles. And you see that this is a porch that looks out over the city. Also, it's developed in such a way that we can have military there, but the entire roof is the developed for military. They're very high. They're higher than just about anything else. They have a 360 degree vision of Washington D.C. they have a massive drone capacity. Not only is it drone proof, if a drone hits it, it bounces off, it won't have any impact. But it's also meant as a drone port. So it protects all of Washington. The roof of the building, okay, everything that you see and the money that's being put up to build the ballroom, and again, the ballroom, it's necessary for the ballroom to be built with what you see over here. It's all knit in the air conditioning, the heating, the drone capacity, the shield, you know, the ballroom becomes a shield for everything that you see right here. Without that, they couldn't have this. They couldn't build the lower floors without that shield over the top of it. It's a shield that will totally protect what's downstairs, drone proofing, the missile proofing we have and the drone capacity upstairs. We can have all sorts of military up with. I hate to use the word snipers, but we have great sniper capacity. It's built for our snipers, not the enemy's snipers, our snipers. And because of the height, we get a very clear view of everything all over Washington. This is really for other presidents. This is not for me. This is my gift to the United States of America. I'm going to be able to use it very little, because when it's finished, we're talking about six or seven months, but it will be used for, hopefully hundreds of years for other presidents. And there will never be anything like this built again. There'll never be a republic room built like, with the safety as an example. If we had the White House correspondent sitting here would have been no problem. I think religion is very important for a country. I think having really this country was. Was built largely on religion. If you look, it was built. And when you have strong religion, you have less crime. It's just a fact, you know, whatever it may be, it's like, gee, I want to go to hell, so I'm not going to do this or that. Who knows? But we have a country that was based on religion, and I'm very proud of that. And if you look and you see all of the polling, I mean, polling is so fake, but this is not fake. Religion is really going up in the last year. And during the time, I mean, really during the time I first got elected in 2016, it's a much different thing. I'm very proud of that. Religion is a good thing. Christianity, it's a great thing for our country. I mean, so many of the things that we. We've done, the successes that we've had, have been based on Christianity and religion. So I'm very proud of that. Religion is taking off like our country has taken off. Our country's hotter now than it's ever been. And I'll tell you, religion is making a tremendous comeback. You look at churches today, they're full. You go back two, three years, nobody was going. We're very happy. And then you have the Democrats, I call them the Democrats, putting in a bill that Trump should immediately stop. You know how it is to negotiate with a country where you're feeding them badly. They come to the table, they're begging to make a deal. Because they're begging to make a deal. I hope we don't have to do the work, but we may have to give Them another big hit. We may have to give them another big hit. I'm not sure yet. You'll know very soon. But how do you feel when you're negotiating, you're winning every point. And they say but in Washington, they want to stop you from negotiating. They want to stop you. And it's only political. It's the Democrats. They're dumb. It's a new name. It's a very accurate name. Close.
Steve
Were you striking around?
Donald Trump
I was, I was, I was an hour away. We were all set to go. You're talking about yesterday. Yes, we were going to be striking very. It would have been happening right now. Yeah, it was all done. The boats, the ships are all loaded. They're loaded to the brim and we're all set to start.
Steve
I really. Are the policies perfect? No. There's obviously somewhat you agree with, but there's a lot of things. This war, there's a lot of things we're going to talk about AI here, maybe if they've signed it, maybe they, they pulled it for today. But folks, you're never going to see that again. That is unique in American history. Somebody can bring that skill set to stand up there for an hour. And here's what I love about that. I can play the thing all day long. That is Donald Trump in his natural environment as a builder, right? You see with the, with the sound and the hammers and the, and the, you know, the, the everything going off, it's a construction site in a big time construction because they're building a national security. This is a big national security part of this, which I don't think it's emphasized enough because on the West Wing, the situation, all that is very, very, very cramped. I tell people, the West Wing, for all the things see on tv, it's really a very old, tiny office building of about two stories on top of a military command center. And that military command center is very jammed, as people know. But you saw right there, that's the, that's Trump at his best peak. Trump right there handling all those questions and he's in sales mode. He's got, he's selling the drones, he's got the snipers. He got it all off the top of his head. We call that the weave. He's weaving and it's magnificent. Who else in this country could stand for a hundred for an hour and 10 minutes in the hot sun, totally impromptu? Because he read those articles, he saw Morning Joe. He said, screw this, I'm a go. If I, nobody's going to sell it for me. I'm going to sell it. Get, get the thing. And they had the breakfast off to the side. They had the, they had the egg McMuffins, or it looked like it was homemade by the White House staff, or they went out somewhere and got them just impromptu. That's your, once that's gone, you're never going to get it back. I tell these news people all the time, these young people, I said, you're going to have to work for a living when Trump leaves. Because Trump, you don't need like here. You just need to cut the mic on and just. You see this all the time in these podcasts. They're just responding to what he's doing. Neil McCabe, unbelievable. And then Julie, man, Julie, who's one of the best at the Hill, she's reporting that they're telling her. Politico is reporting, the New York Times reporting there's a firestorm on Capitol Hill at the Senate, telling Trump, oh, so Cassidy finished third. He just took Cornyn out. You're going to have hell to pay, folks. There's going to be a big old throwdown between the United States Senate and President Trump. The Republican conference thing, this is coming, this is building to a head. And I'm telling them right now it's not going to end well for the Senate, so they better get moving on replacing John Thune, because he's got to be removed. Neal McCabe, your thoughts and observations on really a historic day at the White House, sir.
Neil McCabe
Now, you're absolutely correct when you talk about sort of the man in his natural environment. I was half thinking as I was watching it that the staff, the staff may have designed it. Just, you know, sometimes the staff will do things to sort of boost the president's mood and let him have fun before they put him back to work. It was almost like they designed it as one of these exercises to sort of, sort of just get him jacked up again. And so, no, he was brilliant and in the level of detail. And it's funny, too, when he, you know, Kevin Warsh is going to be sworn in Friday as the new Fed chairman. And you know when you talk, when he would talk about Jay Powell, when you talk about Jay Powell, he talk about different things, about team. Too late. Too late. But he would always come back to. And then Powell tore up all those beautiful old conference rooms and the molding and he would talk, but he says, and they threw away all the marble. Like, it's, like when he, it's, it's,
Steve
it's really his home.
Neil McCabe
It's really his home.
Steve
But you bring up, you bring up an. A brilliant point because we live in D.C. and I knew they were doing things, the Fed, but I didn't know the detail until Trump went down on that tour. The Federal Reserve was called the Temple. It's a very unique building built during the, I think the Art Deco era. It is a artistic masterpiece. J Pal. These guys went down, they built like this huge office. They ripped out these beautiful conference rooms. They wanted these Art deco and stripped it to build some ridiculous space for billions of dollars. Like they get a thousand economists, stick them anywhere, put them in Northern Virginia, put them out in Bethesda. It's ridiculous. And he, Trump, nailed it right there. But you're seeing, you're right, that's the motherboard. He's there on a construction site with all that noise of construction site and all that chaos. Right. That comes together for a beautiful building. He's in his natural environment and off the top of his head, he's holding court. He was holding court there. That is Peak Trump, sir.
Neil McCabe
Yeah. It also reminded me of his tour of the Trump Hotel in D.C. and
Steve
I believe you were part of that
Neil McCabe
tour where, you know, before the construction was finished.
Donald Trump
Yes.
Neil McCabe
And he just brought everybody around and was. It was great. I do want to say something about the Senate if we have time, Steve.
Steve
Sure, sure, sure.
Neil McCabe
I just, I want to make the observation that the Senate Republican leadership has forgotten nothing and learned nothing and, and they don't understand that there are going to be scalps. And just like Jacob Javits found out about a scalp, just like Loy Weicker found out there will be scalps. And they think it's just happening on the House side, it's going to start happening on the Senate side. And that's the only way. That's the only way the NRA got any attention. It's the only way the pro life movement got any attention is you have to take scalps. And that's what I think we're going
Steve
to see this season. Steve, by the way, you're 100% correct that that is a great quote about the Bourbons that ran France and wouldn't change the country and led to the French Revolution, they've learned nothing and they forgot nothing. And that is United States sense. Perfect. Neil, real Quickly, give me 30 seconds on Thursday. We haven't totally put it together, but you're going to be at Arlington National Cemetery. Tell us, what's the event that happens on Thursday. So
Neil McCabe
it's really one of the most remarkable events that happens every year just for people who love America. The old guard, the 3rd Infantry Regiment that runs Fort Myer and Arlington National Cemetery. They will place 250,000American flags on each grave at Arlington. A lot of that's closed to the public, but we'll be there catching what we can. And it's just an amazing sort of ramp up to obviously Memorial Day. But it's just, it's one of those amazing things when you see those kids out there just planting flags all day long.
Steve
Neil we're going to figure it out. And we got a huge Memorial Day weekend. We got Patrick K. O'. Donnell. We're going to be doing the show live as we always do from Washington, D.C. on Monday morning. Want to thank the Denver team for coming in. We're doing it live to, to having PATRICK K. O'. Donnell. We're going to do it. The president's going to give appropriate remarks. It's going to be great as every year. And Patrick's going to be with me on the Saturday show also all weekend. We're going to be very special for the honored dead of America's military. Neil McCabe, where do people get you on social media, sir?
Neil McCabe
They can find me at reporter McCabe on all the socials. Steve, good to be with you.
Steve
Thank you, sir. Kerry Sheffield this, I want to make sure this doesn't get lost in the, in the everything going on and all this news and the fights all over and thing. But this is very important because President, this is like the Trump accounts or like President Trump said today. Right, right. Right there at the construction site. We're the only network that covered the entire yesterday, the entire situation with the Trump rx. We covered it. And look, as much as I don't like Mark Cuban and didn't want to cover him, President Trump's gambling the program. We're gonna cover the whole thing. Nobody else covered it. Fox didn't cover it. He didn't or didn't cover the whole thing. And the president's very frustrated. Some of these monumental things he's doing like the Trump accounts. I know Scott Bessant, we're working with pre8 and the team over there. You've got another one. President Trump is doing so many populous policies to give people access to how to build wealth and be part of the wealth generation in this country. Kerry, you're at the cutting edge of this. Talk to me about Pendant Women's Project. What are you guys working on with the administration?
Kerry Sheffield
Yes, so it's exactly Steve what you said, this is part and parcel of the same idea as the Trump accounts. This is. Last summer, President Trump put out an executive order. The executive order was called democratizing access to alternative assets for 401ks. That might sound a little complicated, but it's democratizing. By that, he's saying we are tearing down the wall between Wall street and Main street by allowing tens of millions of Americans, there's by estimates, 90 million accounts for a 1k accounts. And right now, they're not allowed to access private investments, things like private real estate, private equity, private credit. First of all, it's optional. What Trump wants to do is optional. So no one has to do this. But there's been a double standard. This is our website for too long. Basically, if you were in a public pension, you had access to these private investments. And guess what? 89% of public pensions are invested in private investments, including Elizabeth Warren from her time in Massachusetts at Harvard, and also in her government pension. So she's trying to block this. So you should look at who your enemies are. She's badmouthing Trump about this. It's really important. So what we're doing is we are collecting public comments here. You can go to independentwomen.com and voice your support directly to the Trump Labor Department. So they've done the formal rulemaking process. He put the executive order last summer and now this rule is out. And so we've already collected almost 500 comments. We want to get. The deadline is June 1st. Our goal is to get at least 500. We'd love to blow well past that.
Steve
I want to blow through this. So where do people go to? I want everybody in the war in posse to go get. Now, let me just make this simple. What it is. The actual tables, the reason your teachers funds and, you know, California teachers and all these Oregon pension, the teachers and the firemen, these are some of the most sophisticated investors in the world. One of the reasons they've done this is because the actuarial tables, people are living longer. So they have had to figure out how to get better returns than just putting money in the S and P. Right. Of course, they're going to buy a certain amount of gold, they're going to buy, you know, certain amount of stocks, certain amount of bonds to kind of make sure they get ballast. But they've got to have a search for returns. And so what they do is they, they get into private equity, they get into venture capital, they get into private credit, all of it. What President Trump has said is that the Little guy doesn't have access to that. If you're just independent, what he's done is giving you access. Now, he doesn't mean you've got to pile into that. You've got to do your own due diligence. But what President Trump has given you is optional. What I always tell you about President Trump, if you're an advisor to President Trump, you have to give him optionality. He wants a range of alternatives. He wants to be able to call audibles. He wants the same thing for the American people. That's the whole concept in back of the Trump accounts. President Trump is not saying go put 10% of your pension or your 401, put it in a private credit, private that is upon you to take it. But now you actually have the option of doing it. Before, it was only the big guys and this is how wealth is created. So I think it's spectacular if you take your time and do it. It's another thing that President Trump is really empowering. You taking away from the administrative state that's telling you you're not a good little boy and girl and actually putting it to you to go do it. And Kerry, that's why I think this thing's so magnificent. Now, it is going to take some work on your part and you got to think it through. But to be able to allocate part of it that you get to play with the Steve Schwarzman's of the world and Larry Fink's of the world. Now this is where they make their real money, which is in private equity and private credit and others. So now President Trump's opening it to you. I want to make sure the Warren posse represents here in these comments. So, Kerry, tell us specifically, what's your call to action? What do we need to do?
Kerry Sheffield
Absolutely. So folks can go to our website, independentwomen.com it's on our homepage. You'll see right there, there's a big logo to save your retirement account. Click on that and you'll be able to directly submit your comment using our form letter. You can adapt it as you wish and it'll go directly to the Labor Department because they're the ones who are overseeing this. They had to get it cleared with the sec. Everything is legal. Trump worked through everything. And what I love about this, look, I know you and I both used to work at Goldman. We both went to Harvard. Like we know the people who are already investing in these types of investments. And now President Trump is saying people also where I came from, I used to Live in a trailer park. I lived in sheds, I lived in tents. My parents were on welfare when I was younger. People who were from my background as a child wouldn't have access to the type of generational wealth creation. And President Trump is saying no more. Because when you look at Steve Moore's team has reported about this, private equity over, you know, over the period between 2013 and 2011 had a 15% return compared to the average 401k only had 8%. So, and this is again, I mentioned Liz Warren earlier. Liz Warren is heavily invested in her own retirement in private equity and she's trying to block Trump here. And I just, I decided to call her Senator Antoinette where she's basically saying, let them eat index fund.
Steve
Oh my God. Okay, before I go, Kerry Sheffield, one of the sweetest, nicest, smartest, just, she's just fantastic. If you read her, if you read her memoir, you can't understand why she's not a screaming ax murderer. Carrie, what's the name of the book? I want people. If you haven't read it, it's like that can't be Carrie Sheffield's life. It's the craziest story I've ever seen in my life. Where do people go for your book, your memoir?
Kerry Sheffield
Well, if you want to see it, it's called Motor Prophecies. That's not what we're here to talk about. But sure. The real reason I'm not an axe murderer is it's because Jesus. It really is. I gave my life to Jesus. He took the wheel.
Steve
Amen. Not Harvard and not Goldman Sachs.
Donald Trump
No.
Steve
Christ. Christ the Lord. Gary Sheffield, you're amazing. I want to have you back on. We got to have you back on during the morning show. I want to make sure we hit the bid here on supporting President Trump and giving you optionality. When's the last time anybody gave you options in the world? Doesn't happen. Doesn't happen in our, our system. Kerry Sheffield. Thank you ma'.
Garland Favorito
Am.
Steve
We're gonna be back here at 10am birchgold.com I think the best way to do it is particularly for new investors. Bannon B A N N O N 989-898. Get in touch. We get the ultimate guide for investing gold impression metals. But you get to talk to Philip Patrick. He'll be in the show I think tomorrow morning. But you can get up to a ten thousand dollar rebate for qualifying purchases. Found out why and how. We'll see. See you back here at 10am tomorrow. Everyone's focus on how the conflict in the Middle east is raising oil prices. But there's another grim reality to this contention. Oil isn't the only resource being constrained. About one third of global fertilizer trade happens through this region. And with spring planting season on top of us, American farmers are sounding the alarm with some saying they can't afford to plant their fields. When one piece of the supply chain gets hit this hard, you know what comes next? Higher fruit prices, reduced availability, maybe even panic buying. That's why having an emergency food supply at home makes so much sense. And that's where our friends at my Patriot supply come in. Right now@preparedwithbannon.com that is preparewithbannon.com we've set up an entire just site for the war room posse. You go to preparewithbannon.com that's all one word.

Main Theme:
The episode centers on the Texas Senate race, the broader struggle between MAGA/grassroots and the GOP establishment, and President Trump’s direct intervention in both electoral and policy battles. Additional focus shifts to ongoing election integrity concerns in Georgia and Trump’s new policy on democratizing private investment through retirement accounts.

"This is my gift to the United States of America. I’m going to be able to use it very little because when it’s finished ... it will be used for, hopefully, hundreds of years for other presidents." – Donald Trump (33:50)
"Religion is taking off like our country has taken off. Our country’s hotter now than it’s ever been." (Approx. 36:22)
"That is Donald Trump in his natural environment as a builder...Who else in this country could stand for an hour and 10 minutes in the hot sun, totally impromptu?...That is Peak Trump." (38:29)
"[They] think they can operate against the law or above the law, and they have been successful at doing that here. And they thought we were going to just go away eventually, but we didn’t." – Garland Favorito (19:31)
"There’s just no heat in this Senate race ... Ossoff right now could win by three points or more because the grassroots are just not motivated and people are sitting there going, nothing’s been changed." (21:14)
"That’s what patriots do. They refuse to quit." – Steve (24:23)
"The Senate Republican leadership has forgotten nothing and learned nothing ... there are going to be scalps." (43:26)
"89% of public pensions are invested in private investments... And now President Trump is saying people also where I came from ... would have access to the type of generational wealth creation." – Kerry Sheffield (50:32)
"What President Trump has said is that the Little guy doesn’t have access to that. ... Now you actually have the option of doing it. Before, it was only the big guys and this is how wealth is created." (48:28)
"The grassroots will never come out and vote for John Cornyn. He's too corrupt. He's too incompetent. He's too much part of the problem." (02:40)
"We want a fighter. We don't want any more DC bureaucrat who's been there for 24 years." (05:15)
"This is my gift to the United States of America ... It will be used for, hopefully, hundreds of years for other presidents." (33:50) "Religion is taking off like our country has taken off." (36:22)

"President Trump is saying, no more [barriers] ... people who were from my background as a child wouldn’t have access to the type of generational wealth creation. And President Trump is saying no more." (50:32)
This episode vividly illustrates the intensifying struggle between MAGA’s populist movement and the entrenched GOP establishment. From the Texas Senate race to the ongoing election transparency battle in Georgia, the tone is combative, urgent, and celebratory of grassroots persistence. Trump’s direct communication style, public policy gambits, and institutional fights are front and center.
