Introduction

In WarRoom Battleground EP 717, host Stephen K. Bannon delves into pressing national and international issues, focusing on President Trump's strategies to enhance America's independence and confront its adversaries. The episode features insights from key figures like Dave Bossi, John Gardner, Royce White, and Brian Glenn, discussing economic warfare, international diplomacy, manufacturing revitalization, and political maneuvering.

---

Economic Warfare and Tariffs

Dave Bossi provides an overview of the current economic landscape, highlighting significant tariffs imposed by the United States on Mexico, Canada, and China. He references Warren Buffett's characterization of these measures as "acts of war against Mexico, Canada and China" (00:55).

"Market very turbulent today. 700 down on the Dow Jones because of the as the how to say this, the oracle from Omaha called this economic warfare."
— Dave Bossi [00:55]

John Gardner expands on this by advocating for an "External Revenue Service" to replace the Internal Revenue Service with tariffs and customs excise taxes, aiming to bolster American manufacturing.

"President Trump is staging an intervention. He is saying no more cheap goods. We are going to protect our American manufacturers."
— John Gardner [16:17]

Gardner emphasizes the detrimental impact of foreign tariffs on American goods, particularly in the agricultural and dairy sectors, and outlines a vision for revitalizing small manufacturers through robotics and automation.

"With robotics and automation, these small businesses of 10, 20, 30, 40 employees can do a dramatic amount of more work than the larger companies in the larger entities can do."
— John Gardner [21:46]

---

International Relations and Diplomacy

Dave Bossi discusses President Trump's engagement with Russia to mediate diplomatic solutions between the United States and Persia regarding nuclear weapons.

"If we can make headway there over this next year, it trumps everything else. It really does."
— Dave Bossi [03:22]

Royce White supports the idea of Europe building its own defense mechanisms independent of the United States, advocating for financial self-sufficiency in defense spending.

"I don't care what Zelenskyy says. There should be no reconciliation and no more aid to Ukraine, in my opinion."
— Royce White [24:08]

---

Domestic Policies and Manufacturing Revitalization

The episode highlights President Trump's swift actions on domestic fronts, particularly in securing borders and promoting manufacturing.

Dave Bossi praises Trump's efficiency in implementing policies like border closure, contrasting it with previous administrations' slower approaches.

"Donald Trump in less than 30 days closed the border, sealed the border, and is exiting the bad guys and doing it the worst first."
— Dave Bossi [07:38]

John Gardner underscores the importance of bringing manufacturing jobs back to America, reducing reliance on foreign goods, and fostering economic independence through increased production volumes.

"President Trump is seizing the American made brand back again. He's taking that brand value."
— John Gardner [17:25]

---

Political Maneuvering and Democratic Opposition

Brian Glenn and Royce White discuss potential disruptions from Democrats during President Trump's upcoming speech to Congress, criticizing their strategies and effectiveness.

"The Democrats are planning to do some type of walkout during that speech and of course, being disruptive, I would imagine some boos and things like that whenever during Trump's speech."
— Brian Glenn [33:03]

Royce White labels Democratic tactics as "theatrical" and ineffective, asserting that genuine systemic change is being driven by Trump.

"Real revolution in many respects is what Donald Trump is doing. Sort of the nuts and bolts change in the system."
— Royce White [45:28]

---

Manufacturing Superpower and Small Businesses

John Gardner presents a strategy for transforming the United States into a manufacturing superpower by leveraging small businesses and automation.

"With robotics and automation, these small businesses of 10, 20, 30, 40 employees can do a dramatic amount of more work than the larger companies in the larger entities can do, in my opinion."
— John Gardner [21:46]

He advocates for policies that support small manufacturers, enabling them to scale production and compete globally, thereby reducing dependence on foreign manufacturing.

---

Conclusion and Forward Look

Stephen K. Bannon wraps up the episode by emphasizing the transformative actions taken by President Trump to reposition America both economically and geopolitically. The discussions in this episode underscore a commitment to disrupting established systems deemed ineffective, advocating for policies that prioritize American sovereignty and economic strength.

"We're just in the first 45 days, but we got a lot of winning to do."
— Dave Bossi [09:45]

Bannon also highlights upcoming content and encourages listeners to stay engaged through various platforms for ongoing analysis and coverage.

Transcript

[Steve Bannon]

This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. I got a free shot. All these networks lying about the people. The people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.

[Brian Glenn]

And where do people like that go.

[Steve Bannon]

To share the big lie? MAGA I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

[Dave Bossi]

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

[Steve Bannon]

It's Tuesday for March in the year of our Lord 2024. It's Fat Tuesday. It's also what we would normally call the State of the Union, but it's an address to the joint session of Congress in every election year. President Trump will be up there. He'll leave the White House about 8:30 tonight, arrive on Capitol Hill approximately 9. This is all Eastern standard time. The speech should take around an hour, maybe a little longer, particularly as President Trump does a few ad libs as we say, and then we're going to have coverage beforehand after all, in Real America's Voice with the All Star team. From Real America's Voice, I asked Dave Bossi, a very close friend and colleague and someone very close to the president. First off, Dave, a bunch of announcements, a bunch of news breaking today. Market very turbulent today. 700 down on the Dow Jones because of the as the how to say this, the oracle from Omaha called this economic warfare. These are acts of war against Mexico, Canada and China. Warren Buffett also Scott Besant tells Fox News just got reported there will be no signing counter to what Reuters are saying there will be no signing of the economic deal tonight. It doesn't sound like they're quite there yet, although other people reporting there's some agreement it might actually be signed tonight. And last but not least, Bloomberg is reporting that Russia with discussions in the United States in Riyadh, the staff's talking has basically asserted that they will act as an intermediate set of diplomatic talks for the United States and Persia to have a diplomatic solution to the nuclear issue about nuclear weapons. So that's first off the last one. I know you've been one of the biggest supporters of Israel. Bridge Colby today testified on Capitol Hill. That's a very big controversy. A lot of people signaling out Kurt May and Tucker Carlson is Backing bridge. We back bridge. Also, is it pretty surprising, you think, in President Trump's overall strategy, this rapprochement he's trying to get to try to end the kinetic part of the Third World War, that Russia would actually offer up to act as an intermediary, understanding that our ally Israel is probably their biggest concern is the nuclear. Is the fiasco that came out of the, what is it? The Joint Plan of Action? Comprehensive jcpoa. The joint Comprehensive Plan of Action from Obama to John Kerry to Joe Biden, sir.

[Dave Bossi]

Well, Steve, first of all, just there is so much going on in the world, right? I mean, you just named three things that happened this afternoon. It is unbelievable the pace in which President Trump is operating. And so when we got, when we get to this issue of Russia trying to act as an intermediary, look, I welcome that I'm an old school Soviet hater. But if the Soviet Union, now Russia wants to assist because they see an opening in dealing with President Trump in the way he's dealing with the Ukraine, if this is an opening to gain an opportunity to get peace in the Middle East. And the first step in peace in the Middle east is reining in the crazed Ayatollah and the crazed people that run the country of Iran. And I think if we can make headway there over this next year, it trumps everything else. It really does. It's that important because we all know that as soon as they have the ability to have a bomb, they're gonna use a bomb. And that's the frightening part of dealing with those folks. So I think we all need to recognize that. And I'm no fan of Putin. I believe he's a bad actor and has been his entire life. But let's not kid ourselves if right now, today, in response to Donald Trump's olive branch of trying to solve Ukraine, and it's not gonna be great for Ukraine, it may not be great for Russia, but it's gonna be great for the world to end this. And if we can get that and then make a giant step towards solving the Iranian problem, this is, this is a huge opportunity. And Donald Trump, I think, is going to take it and run with it.

[Steve Bannon]

You know, I was on British TV earlier today, I think I told you, Dave, and the host, who is very even handed, she did ask me this exact question you just answered. She says, well, do you guys impress Trump? Do you trust Putin? I go, certainly we don't trust Putin. He's a KGB officer. I said, did Churchill trust Joseph Stott? They trust. Did Churchill trust Joseph Stalin. No. Right. Wasn't it President Reagan said, trust but verify? I mean, you always gotta put these guys in the microscope. You can't trust any of them. Correct.

[Dave Bossi]

You can't trust any of them. Donald Trump doesn't trust them, but he will use them if it helps America. That is what the difference is. And so I have no qualms about, you know, if it's a good deal, Donald Trump's gonna make it. If it's not a good deal for America and America's future and America's security, he's not gonna make it. But let's have the conversation. That's the difference between Donald Trump and the rest of these politicians that he unfortunately has to deal with.

[Steve Bannon]

So, look, you've been around the neighborhood a long time. You were one of the senior aides to Newt GINGRICH Back know, 20, 25 years ago. Put us in the room. Tell Don, what is the State of the Union like from the House perspective, the preparation, how big a deal is this? Put us in the room up there, ma'am. Sir.

[Dave Bossi]

Yeah. Well, first of all, Donald Trump is the ultimate showman coming to the ultimate stage. I mean, it is a, it is an incredible place. When you set foot in that chamber, it is truly hollow ground today, unfortunately, we have a circus like atmosphere, but historically it is hallowed ground. And President Trump is going to take the stage tonight and deliver an address directly to the American people, once again, bypassing the corrupt mainstream media that only wants to attack him and attack him at every turn. So it's an opportunity for him to reset after, by the way, he's only been president. What about, is it day 44, day 45, and you just.

[Steve Bannon]

Yes, yes.

[Dave Bossi]

This is dog years we're living in, Steve. This is truly dog years. Whether it's Ukraine, Doge, tax cuts, getting his cabinet through in lightning speed, whether it's this budget deal, whether it's closing the border. Let's not forget me. We just looked past this now, but I mean, Joe Biden for four years said, I can't control the border. Congress must do this, Congress must do that. They must have comprehensive immigration reform. That is an amnesty program. And Donald Trump in less than 30 days closed the border, sealed the border, and is exiting the bad guys and doing it the worst first. And that is what he promised to do.

[Steve Bannon]

So I got to ask you, because you were with us, Bossie's one of these guys. Never wavered a bit. In 2020. In 2021, there's dark, particularly the first six months. Did you ever, in your wildest dreams think it'd be like, flood the zone? Like, we got it like 10 or 12 things a day? In the old days, in the first time, if we had one or two, we thought it was a big deal and divert the immediate attention. Here, it's ten to a dozen.

[Dave Bossi]

Steve, you and I, I mean, you and I are amateurs compared. I mean, look, we were hard Chargers in 2016, 2016, 2017. We thought, this is incredible, the speed, the ferocity, the professionalism. I mean, to see, and I know it warmed your heart, too, but I mean to see Peter Navarro in there doing the battles.

[Steve Bannon]

Oh, yeah, that.

[Dave Bossi]

You and I both know what he's doing. You and I both have been in the room with him in the White House when he is fighting the interior battles that he must fight and winning. And it has been an incredible. It's an incredible honor to just be a small part of this. And it is an incredible thing to watch as America gets healthy again, as America gets wealthy again, and as America gets safe again. So we're just in the first 45 days, but we got a lot of winning to do.

[Steve Bannon]

So John Gardner is going to join us here right after Dave. Talk about Peter Navarre, talk about the terrorists, talk about the economic warfare and also bringing manufacturing jobs backwards. President Trump's already doing with Taiwan Semiconductor 100 billion span over four years. Of course, Apple 500 billion. Just amazing. Dave, what do you want to see tonight? Because you're the guy, you were deputy campaign manager for the first Trump victory, you're a nuts and bolts guy when it comes to how you actually win campaigns. What are you looking to see tonight? We already know the Democrats have said they're going to try to disrupt us. Natalie's going to join us back here at 8. They're going to be, some of them plan on being quite disruptive. But what are you looking to see? The message that President Trump, because he's not speaking to the room, he's speaking to the nation. And tonight of all nights, he's actually speaking to the world. Dave, what are you looking for tonight?

[Dave Bossi]

A couple of things. One is, I think that he is bringing guests once again that really showcase why he won and what he's done since he took office. Whether it's, you know, whether it's a gold star mom, whether it is, you know, one of the, one of the hostages that has been released, whether it's a farm worker, a union worker. He's bringing average Americans into that auditorium tonight, into Congress tonight to show The American people, storyline by storyline, exactly who this impacts. And I think that's gonna be an incredible thing. But he also, I think, Steve, you and I both know him pretty well. When the Democrats try their best to disrupt, I think he's gonna belittle them in a way that is gonna be very effective. You know, he's just so quick with a retort. And I think if the Democrats are naive enough to think that they can get away with it, he always punches back harder than you think.

[Steve Bannon]

Tonight he is going to talk about the renewal of the American dream and all that. But two things I think he's going to focus on what I've been told is disruption. The positive nature of disruption that he's bringing with Elon Musk and others, his great cabinet to the administrative state and the deep state. And also the disruption he's doing to the postwar international rules based order, which as you know, worked against the United States for the last 20 or 30 years. Tell me about that. He's going to frame both of him as a disruptor. I think in a positive sense that the system needed to be disrupted both domestically and internationally. Your thoughts?

[Dave Bossi]

Well, look, you know, in the first term, his first term, he was told by then, you know, Paul ryan and Mitch McConnell, hey, we got this, trust us, we're going to do this and it's going to take us 18 months to get this done. This guy does stuff in 18 days, not 18 months. And that is, I believe, one of the mainstay takeaways from his first term for him that he internalized that. He does not allow anyone now to say it can't be done or cannot be done today. And it may take a few days, a few weeks, but he wants it done and he wants it done immediately. And that's the disruptor side of things that you are seeing every single day. And look, in the first term, when it came to different policies, he's taking the same attitude, which is America has done it this way for 40 years and we've gotten it wrong. Let's turn it on its head. Let's try something new. The establishment hates it, the mainstream media hates it. You know, the Henry Kissinger's of the world hate it. But it is effective and it is making America respected again and seen as strong again. If you just look, President Trump says all hell is gonna break loose in the Middle East. If you don't release hostages, hostages get released. He's talking to, he's talking to Russia directly through the media and through his own press conferences. That he has every single day total open access. But he's telling Putin, hey, let's release these guys so we can bring some level of trust, not total and complete trust, but that we can work with you. And so he's doing this on all levels. And by the way, he's doing it all day, every day. So that is the intensity, the ferocity that he brings to the job. That Joe Biden, my God, the guy couldn't find the bathroom for three and a half of the four years he was in office. He was so bad and so old and decrepit that we now know the staff was running that White House, not the president. And this we have the exact opposite.

[Steve Bannon]

Well, I hope we get an investigation going to this. You bring up a point like Churchill on the top of the memos action this day in the darkest days of World War II. Dave, social media, how can people follow you tonight as you watch the speech? I'm sure you'll be up on social media. Where do people go?

[Dave Bossi]

Yeah, David, underscore Bossi on X and on Truth Social, please go and follow me. And we'll be going, we'll be following it tonight as well as on Getter. So I look forward to communicating with folks.

[Steve Bannon]

Dave Bossi, head of Citizens United. Thank you, sir. Appreciate you coming on tonight.

[Dave Bossi]

Thanks, Steve. Thanks for having me.

[Steve Bannon]

Brian Glenn, we're going to get to Brian Glenn a little while. From the Capitol, we got Roy Sweit coming up. I want to get John Gardner here. John, today's got to be a red letter day for you. You've worked on this project for many, many years, guys like you and Peter Navarro. We got Spencer Morrison. His new book is out. Talk to me when you this concept of yours of External Revenue Service, right. In External Revenue, when you see that Canada's got, you know, tariffs against them at 25%, Mexico, 25%, China, I think it's 20 because it was 10 and they doubled it. And Warren Buffett says, sir, that what you have really called on President Trump to do is nothing but an act of economic war. Your response?

[John Gardner]

I think we need an act of economic war. The average tariff rate from 1824 to 1934 was 40 to 50%. So buckle up, Canada, buckle up, China, buckle up, Mexico. I think these are going to only accelerate because President Trump wants to get back to how the federal government used to fund itself, and that was through the External Revenue Service via tariffs, customs excise taxes, and stop targeting American citizens with Internal Revenue Service. And I believe he's actually codified out in an EO with America first policy exhibit order to create the External Revenue Service. And he's laser like focused on that. So this is a banner day to see these 25% tariffs come down. I hear the Canadian Prime Minister executive from Ontario whining and thumping his chest and saber rattling, saying he's going to cut off powder power to American states. And I can. This is, you know, Canada tariffs us in the 100 to 200% range. So it's kind of like somebody cutting off.

[Steve Bannon]

Slow down, slow down, slow down, slow down, slow down. Explain that to the American people. Nobody knows that. Nobody talks about it. Every time you hear the Wall Street Journal, all this whining and bitching and moaning by the business press in this country, I'm not talking English majors, I'm talking the business press in this country. They're whining and whinging about free trade and all this. They never mention what the reality is. Give me the reality of our Canadian brothers and sisters, what their government does to the United States as far as tariffs and duties and all these kind of hidden things they do to make it harder and more expensive to get our products into Canada. Sir.

[John Gardner]

Yeah. They have tariff rates going up to 270% on American made goods, especially on our agricultural and dairy products. They kind of almost average in the 50% to 150% tariffs on us. So when President Trump advances and very importantly, 77% of Canada's exports go to America. So as President Trump says, they do not have the cards in this war, economic war, as we've supposedly declared. America has been a crack addict on cheap foreign goods. And as foreign countries have raised the tariffs on us, we have been afraid to raise the tariffs in response and get reciprocal tariffs because we are addicted to cheap goods made with cheap foreign forced labor sometimes and lack of environmental laws and lack of labor standards that corporations work around. And President Trump is staging an intervention. He is saying no more cheap goods. We are going to protect our American manufacturers. And I think one of the most beautiful things that I see happening right now with that's not discussed is President Trump is seizing the American made brand back again. He's taking that brand value. Corporations talk all the time about brand value. American made brand has immense value. It used to mean a quality made good. Now it's associated with higher prices. And what President Trump's gonna do by bringing tariffing and bringing more manufacturing back to America is as American manufacturers get higher volume, Instead of making 100 parts, they make 10,000 parts. 100,000 parts. Their per piece price is going to drive the cost of American made goods down and help tackle inflation as more American made goods are on the market. What I'd like to see is I'd like to see Walmart have a avoid tariffs. Here's the Made America section with American flags flying everywhere. I'd like to see, you know, how you go through the airport and you see customs and border duty free goods. I'd like to see Amazon have a Made in America section. Duty free tariff free goods because it's made in America. And if you want to avoid the tariffs, you buy made in America. If you want to avoid tariffs, move your manufacturing plants here. And President Trump is going to capture the human capital that has fled America. You know, the human capital of people who do the manufacturing jobs is overseas. You see this image? This is from the 40s. You see how it says he tames a flood of molten steel. Look at this man working in a steel mill taming a flood of molten steel. You know, Milton Friedman Suggested on page 46 of Free to Choose, which I think should be Free to choose title, Free to choose slave labor. He suggested in the case of national security, we could maintain some steel plants and mothballs for how many decades? And what, are you going to hire people out of Starbucks to come in and tame that molten flood of steel because they know what they're doing it. President Trump is seizing the human capital back here and bringing it back to America so that we maintain our independence. Stop relying on.

[Steve Bannon]

So, Gardner, I know you're for tariffs, you're for the American system, but, you know, you've had Taiwan Semiconductor, Apple. It's about $700 billion of corporate investment. Not this happy talk of, you know, sovereign wealth firm from Saudi Arabia, or was it Mohse San from Japan with his SoftBank? I'm talking about big companies, the premium brands saying they're going to manufacture here. High value added. Your solution is quite different. You say we become a manufacturing superpower again because of small manufacturing. What is your theory of the case, sir?

[John Gardner]

Well, 252,000 of American manufacturers. Of the 250,000American manufacturers, 75% of them are 20 employees or less, and 90% of them are 50 employees or less. And each. The Small Business Administration erroneously categorizes a small business as 500 employees or less, which is absurd in the days of AI and email, when one employee can do so much more than employees could do in the 1980s. So with robotics and automation, these small businesses of 10, 20, 30, 40 employees can do a dramatic amount of more work than the larger companies in the larger entities can do, in my opinion. I think we're going to see a real explosion in Main street as they get the volume to justify the investment in robotics and automation to expand their wheelhouse. And so I think that is really where the economic explosion is going to be at in Main street with the mom and pops.

[Steve Bannon]

Gardner, great job. External Revenue Service. You're the man. Where do people go get your book where they go. Find out more about you and your crusade.

[John Gardner]

John Gardner voh on Twitter and Instagram, you can Google my book Manufacture Local how to Make America the Manufacturing Superpower of the World. It's on Amazon, Barnes and Nobles, Walmart and I'm on getter at mfg Gear official. And I really appreciate you advocating for the External Revenue Service with administration. Steve, much gratitude to you for making that happen.

[Steve Bannon]

You will go down in history, sir, trust me. So Gardner will have you on a lot more. In fact, I'll get. Thank you. But your comments on tonight's speech, I know you're going to watch it. Okay, thank you. Do I have the. Royce White is with us. Royce White, brother. Big day for you because of the Ukraine. Now there's all kind of rumors going around that Zelensky said he's sorry, you know, I didn't mean to do it. We want to do this deal. You've been one of the biggest voices against the globalists in the eu. They said they're going to raise. Vandalin says you're going to raise $800 billion. 800 billion euros, I think $850 billion in a defense fund to build a European army without the United States and send them all to Ukraine. Your thoughts, sir?

[Royce White]

Good for them. They should do it. I'm all in support of them building their own army to defend against the Russians. I don't care what Zelenskyy says. There should be no reconciliation and no more aid to Ukraine, in my opinion. Now, if there's a super deal to be done and it helps facilitate the peace, then I expect that Donald Trump will be able to find that deal and execute that deal. And the President is a kind hearted and decent man. Much, much kinder hearted than I am and much more decent than I am. I wouldn't even invited him to the White House honestly if it was me. Cuz we know who these people are. And to be quite honest, in my heart of hearts, I think they tried to take the President out. I know we're a long way from that. And people don't really want to say that, but the same people who want this war to continue are probably some of the same people who tried to kill the president, in my opinion. So you know this look, we're in the earliest days of a post woke, post globalist America. I think Donald Trump's doing a fantastic job. I think putting a, you know, putting an end to this Ukraine war is essential.

[Steve Bannon]

Royce, hang on. I'm going to hold you through the break room and get Royce's thoughts on what he thinks the president needs to say tonight. After the days of thunder and the years of lightning, President Trump has done so much in what, 44 days. It's just absolutely stunning. So huge, so great. We're going to get it all into it today. Market turbulence. We told you it was coming, folks. Why is it coming? Because President Trump is rethinking the world's economic and geopolitical system and acting upon it, whether it's stopping the kinetic part of the Third World War in Ukraine or trying to bring peace to the Middle east by negotiating with Persia to lay down potential nuclear weapons, or whether it's putting the Chinese Communist Party on notice that there's a new sheriff in town and bringing the advanced chip design to Arizona.

War Room here's your host, Stephen K. Ban.

[Steve Bannon]

It's not just the nation that's going to be watching tonight. I think more than ever the entire world's going to be watching because there's so much going on in the world, not just with the tariffs, the external revenue, the cartels, Ukraine. We just had breaking news about Persia and the Russians volunteering to intercede us up a diplomatic set of negotiations and discussions to make sure that we don't get in a situation where Persia has a tactical nuclear weapon that can really disrupt the region. So I think tonight you're going to see a global audience. This is why one of our contributors, Jim Rickards, I can't recommend this highly enough. Rickards. War room.com gets strategic intelligence. It's his newsletter. It's geopolitics. It's capital markets, its political economy, its national security. If you get it, you will not put it down. Strategic Intelligence Newsletter Plus I'll throw in a free book, moneygpt. This one will keep you up at night. It'll talk about artificial intelligence and the currency markets, the capital markets. It's a little scary, but I think you need to know Jim Rickards, one of the most experienced guys around. Rickards war room.com war room Bannon make sure you get all the discounts. Rickardswarroom.com and the free book. I want to go we've got Royce White is with us. We're going to hold a second. I want to go to the Capitol. We've got Brian Glenn set up and Brian's going to have to bounce inside here momentarily. Brian, put us in the room, brother. Where you're you're in the rotunda. A lot of anticipation. What's going on, sir?

[Brian Glenn]

Yeah, good afternoon or good evening, I should say. We've got a lot of media here in the Canon Rotundra, as we get ready for the speech tonight. Now earlier had a chance to go down to the Capitol, met with Speaker Johnson for a few minutes and just had kind of a couple laughs about some things that were happening in the news. But all the energy is high. We're looking forward to the night's speech with President Trump. From what I hear, the Democrats, Steve, are planning to do a couple of things. One of might be a walkout during the speech and of course, perhaps some noisemakers from what I've been told. Some no bullhorns, but just kind of some handmade noisemakers, if you will, just looking to disrupt this speech tonight. But as we would, you know, predict if they do that, Steve, that's only good for us. And it does show just how they don't take the events in this country right now serious at all. But it is going to be a global stage, as you said earlier, and we're just super excited for it. And we'll be out here pretty much the entire night. But we'll dip inside to watch the speech and I'll come back out here and tell you what I saw and how it felt to be in the room.

[Steve Bannon]

Brian, here's what I don't understand. The Democrats and Natalie's done a good job on the resistance they're doing in other areas. But these are elected officials. Are you telling me, and I'm hearing these rumors, but you're a guy that can parse fact from fiction. The wheat from the chaff. Is there really a concern that they may actually have a mass walkout tonight or some walkout, and they may actually talking about noisemakers from elected officials that quite frankly have not found their sea legs of how to legislatively combat President Trump's days of thunder.

[Brian Glenn]

Sir, I'm actually hearing that from several sources. I mean, people that, you know, I wouldn't look to just make stuff up just to, you know, but they're hearing that they are planning some type of walkout during that speech and of course, being disruptive, I would imagine some boos and things like that whenever during Trump's speech. But Republicans are going to, from what I understand, I'm going to take the high road on this. They're going to just celebrate all of the victories that President Trump has had. But Steve, I don't put it past him. We've seen what they've done in the past. Heck, Nancy Pelosi stood up and ripped the speech up on the House floor during one of his state of reunions. So anything besides that Is, is on the table, but you're going to see it on display. The world will see it on display. And once again go ahead and start clipping your videos because that, you're going to use these in your midterm campaign because it's, it's disgraceful if they do that. I hope they don't, I hope we don't see that tonight. But I think the odds are that you will see some type of disruption.

[Steve Bannon]

So Brian, Reuters reported earlier this afternoon that there was going to be some sort of signing beforehand or some sort of codification of this economic deal that Zelensky for three times including in the White House the other day refused to sign. Now, Scott Bessen I think went on Fox, it was reported by Fox as Scott Bessen, the Secretary of treasury last tweet I saw said in fact there wasn't going to be any signing. What's the latest you've heard about this? Because this would obviously be a big announcement. Like I know, you know I'm not crazy about this deal but President Trump believes it's a predicate to get to an overall rapprochement with Russia. What are you hearing about this?

[Brian Glenn]

Yeah, I agree with you. I have not heard anything on that. I have not confirmed that as well. So I, from, from my end, from just talking to people and kind of being down there last two and a half, three hours, just kind of snooping around a little bit, haven't heard that. That would, that was, that's news to me. But you know, hey, it you can, your bingo card should be wide open tonight. Maybe that should be on there. Who knows. Yeah, I mean listen, bingo cards, very interesting.

[Steve Bannon]

You've been there from the beginning, following this in the campaign trail. Right side broadcasting now on Capitol Hill and the White House. One of the things I've heard talking to people is President Trump's going to make the case why disruption is positive, why what Elon is doing, what his administration is doing that this ossified system is not working. The administrative state, the deep state, the economy was in a stall. So domestically it's positive that he's disruptor. And on the international stage, since the post war international rules based order is not working for America. By putting America first, he is disrupting international institutions. But it put American citizens first in the United States of America first. Your thoughts?

[Brian Glenn]

Yeah. What a concept, right? I was able to watch the entire piece on the BBC and I'll text that to you here in a few minutes. It runs about 12 minutes. That was the premise of my whole segment with them, it's about putting America first and not putting Ukraine ahead of American tax dollars and Americans. And so I think what he's done, he's been a big disruptor just about in every industry, in every sector. He's being a disruptor now for the good, culturally speaking, getting rid of all the DEI stuff and going back to kind of a love of country and patriotism is on the forefront. That's if that's being a disruptor, sign me up because I'm ready to disrupt. And I think tonight, and like you said in the Oval Office, when that whole thing got heated, he let it play out because he knew that would be good television and absolutely a good way to be transparent to what, how, how the sausage is made. I love it. So tonight, if they want to be disruptive, let's let them do it. Let's let it air out, because that is the best highlight film that we can have as Republicans as we go into the midterms on how they just don't. They're not interested in solving problems. They just want to stop Trump and the American people. They know that these policies, these border policies are making our country safer.

[Steve Bannon]

Brian, just the logistics tonight. We're going to come on at 8 o'clock and have a pregame. We're going to have all the, all the stars and talents and commentators and observers on real America's voice. About 8:30, I believe, is when the president will actually physically leave the White House to head up to Capitol Hill with the first Lady. Is that correct?

[Brian Glenn]

That is correct. 8:30 he departs. He's planning to walk through the chamber there. And you've seen that beautiful stretch I just walked in. You can follow me on social media. Ryangtv I'm going to post up some pictures on that as well. He's going to walk into the House floor about just shortly after 9:00. You'll have that major announcement that he's coming in. He'll do the parade down that, down the hall, the carpet there. It won't be like Joe Biden. It won't take 15 minutes for him to walk about 50 steps. It's going to take a little bit quicker than that. He'll get up there and deliver a speech scheduled for about an hour and a half, but we know how that sometimes works in Trump world. And then hopefully we'll have it all wrapped up by 11:00 Eastern and everybody can get to bed and then wake up tomorrow and talk about what he said last last night. So it's just going to be a great venture. And like you said, go ahead. Go ahead.

[Steve Bannon]

Dunno.

[Royce White]

Do it.

[Steve Bannon]

We'll get up and do it again tomorrow. How's that sound?

[Brian Glenn]

Yep, that sounds good. Yep, that's how it works.

[Steve Bannon]

Brian, one more time.

[Brian Glenn]

What.

[Steve Bannon]

What's your social media, Brian, so people can follow you throughout the evening. You're going to join us back on the. On the coverage of the joint address to Congress. What is called an election year. It's the traditional state of the Union. Where do people go, sir?

[Brian Glenn]

You can check it out at Brian Glenn TV on X, Brian Glenn TV on Facebook and Instagram, and at Brian on Truth Social. I will post up that BBC interview I did in its entirety, unedited. You can judge whether or not they were fair or not. I've got Pierce Morgan tomorrow. We'll see how that plays out. So we keep. I'm gonna keep pounding the America first. We want peace. That region, Steve. That's what it's all about, peace.

[Steve Bannon]

I think we created two monsters. I got Natalie Winter is everywhere. She's on every magazine, every newspaper. I got Brian Glenn. He's international, he's Piers Morgan one day, BBC the next. I just knew him when they were simple folks, right? Just simple folks. Brian, great job. I know the world wants to hear what you got to say because you've been you, you, you know maga, you know Mag as well as anybody, brother. Love you, Brian Glenn. The Brian Glenn.

[Brian Glenn]

Love you, too. We'll see you back here. 8:00. Yeah.

[Steve Bannon]

Up on Capitol Hill, Royce White. First off, Royce, you've been one of the biggest, I would say, populist nationalist figures out there for a while. You would nominate, you ran for the Senate, nominated by the Republican Party of Minnesota. First off, what is your assessment? Walk me through the 44 days of Trump through the perspective of yourself as a populist nationalist, sir.

[Royce White]

Oh, I mean, this is easy. And Donald Trump's the greatest president of my lifetime. It's not even close. 40 days in, you know, the Democrats and Rhinos, whoever, whoever wants to oppose the nationalist populist movement, they can kick and scream all they want to. They're just, you know, petulant children being dragged through a parking lot. You know, they didn't get the toy they wanted at Target or whatever the case, Walmart, whatever it is, and they're just kicking and screaming. They can do it all they want. Donald Trump was elected. They took their shot, they missed, he's here. This is happening and I love every minute of it. I think he's doing a fantastic job in the first 44 days and it's gonna get much rougher for him. So if this is too much, they got a long haul ahead of them.

[Steve Bannon]

Well, tonight I want to go back to that. I said, look, I think he's gonna make the case for disruption. Disruption is positive. Cause the media's all, this is terrible, it's all chaotic. Disruption domestically because you're the administrative and deep state and what he's doing both with Elon, but there's a lot going on in his own cabinet. Then obviously internationally, the globalists are, you know, in an uproar. But he's reworking the post war international rules based order. You can see that from the tariffs. And these things are not random. You know, he has the Taiwan semiconductor guy, the best company in the world for manufacturing of chips, come in with $100 billion deal, $25 billion a year the next four years in Arizona, a swing state. Then Last night at midnight, 25% tariffs on Canada, 25% tariffs on Mexico, 20% tariffs on the Chinese Communist Party. And then today you hear all these rumors that Zelensky'syou know, he apologizes. Zelensky's so wroughtoverwrought that he didn't sign the economic deal. He wants to sign it before the speech. So both domestically and globally, the disruptor is going to make the case for disruption. Your thoughts, sir?

[Royce White]

Well, I mean, you know, I've been banging this drum for about two and a half years now. The post World War II Democrat liberal order has failed. And it is a hindrance on the American people, but it's also a hindrance on people all over the world and their national pride, national sovereignty. So you know, the whole order is broken, it failed. I mean we see that now and the problem with it. And I think one of the people who said it best was Eric Weinstein, who by no means is a far right wing, ultra maga nationalist right, he's pretty much nominally a Democrat. And he said, you know, when these people say democracy, which is their dog whistle for globalism. Now when they say democracy, they don't mean for the people, by the people and from the people. They don't mean the democracy that we think of as American citizens. What they mean are the democratic institutions that sprang out of World War II that are considered the load bearing walls of their own globalist agenda. And so anybody who threatens that, as corrupt as those load bearing walls are, they're considered an enemy. It's me, it's you. It's Donald Trump. I mean, you know, we just keep banging the drum and telling people. When you think of the uniparty, the D.C. elite, you think post World War II Democrat, liberal order. If you're an American citizen and you're watching Donald Trump right now, you're trying to figure out is he doing what's in the best interest of America. You have to decide whether you want to live in a 1776America or 1945America. And me, myself, I want a 1776America. The whole post World War II Democrat liberal order has been one huge Ponzi scheme and the American people have paid for it dearly.

[Steve Bannon]

What do you think tonight potentially? You've heard, you know, they're doing all types of resistance with the, with all the different groups out there in the street protests, but now we're talking about elected officials, principally in the House where, you know, they got a couple, three hotheads. You've run against one of them. What about this potential? They may have a walkout, they may have noises. What do you think? What do you think will happen and how do you think that American people think about the Democratic Party?

[Royce White]

Well, I think they're probably going to do something theatrical, right, because that's the, that's the MO of their, their political platform. You know, they have this weird idea that revolution is all drama, which is why they really lose it. Cuz real revolution in many respects is what Donald Trump is doing. Sort of the nuts and bolts change in the system. They all talk about systemic racism, systemic injustice. The only one changing the system is Donald Trump. Ilhan Omar hasn't done anything to change the system. In fact, all she's done is grift off the system. So, you know, again, they can kick and scream if they want to protest and walk out. Let the American people see the Democrats are in a failing position and they'll continue to fail as long as they want to double and triple down, which I expect they will, which bodes well for us. We got much bigger fish to fry than the Ilhan Omars of the world. You know, respectfully, she's going to do it to herself and you'll probably see some of that tonight.

[Steve Bannon]

Royce, how do people get the show, how do they get the podcast? And particularly how they get you on social media?

[Royce White]

Monday, Wednesday, Friday, YouTube x Rumble, you guys run it on War rooms, Getter and rumble. And Saturday mornings, 9:00am Real America's voice. I'm on before you Royce White show. I'm on X. I'm everywhere. I'm Everywhere the globalists aren't. I'm everywhere the globalists want to hunt us down. You can find me everywhere.

[Steve Bannon]

Royce White. Love you, brother. Look forward to talking to you tomorrow about what happened tonight. Royce White. The Royce White. Thank you, sir. The podcast. This show is incredible. If you're a populist nationalist, it's a must watch because Royce is always taking it to the globalist. A couple things I want to make sure that in thinking through what is going on in these times of turbulence, you know, we focus with these sponsors and we make sure we don't take on every company that wants to come. We're pretty selective because we want to make sure it's something that gets into the content of the show and also to the content of the lives of our viewers. My Patriot Supply has traditionally been the best, what we call axe in the space, or the best company in the space, kind of, that kind of preparation. Get ahead of things. Right now they got a special offer, 100 bucks off the three month food kit. Go check out date my Patriot supply, put in the promo code Bannon, my patriotsupply promo code Bannon, and talk to them about. They got. Here's the thing, they've got consultants, advisors. If you're uncertain about anything, you're uncertain, hey, how long does this food last? It says 25 years. What does that mean? Ask all the questions. When we talk of these sponsors, we make sure that you have access that people can walk it through. Because, hey, our audience always wants to see the receipts. They're just not going to sit there and hear a slogan or a logo and want to buy. They're going to want to get down and drill down into it. So go to my Patriot Supply right now, promo code Bannon. You get a discount, $100 off the three month food supply. So check that out. Check that out. Today also, obviously, the birch gold today among all days, President Trump, I think, is going to walk us through this kind of, I say it's geostrategic and geoeconomic and I think you can start to see coming clear what's happening geostrategically. He wants to, as I've said before, he wants to stop the kinetic part of the third World War. Huge news today coming out of meetings that they had in Riyadh over the last week or two to set up these meetings with President Trump and President Putin about a rapprochement between the United States and Russia. And this came up today that the Russians have volunteered to somehow intercede with their allies in Tehran. The I Think over the top murderous mullahs who control Persia about this nuclear weapons program and intercede to make sure that potentially a diplomatic solution. This is one of the things we've advocated for a long time. I know Tucker Carlson's advocated. Nobody wants to go to war in Persia, particularly either airstrikes or land strike. There's other ways. And I've said this before, I said it Saturday night in front of Israel365. And Israel365 is, it seems to me, pure MAGA, right? Hanging out with the people there and talking to them. And they don't want a conflict with Persia if it can be avoided. And it can be avoided not just with economic means, but I think with very, very, very smart diplomacy and negotiations. And President Trump. So Ukraine is full on. You'll see tonight, probably announcement. It may be Scott Bessen saying it's not happening. Some signature with the deal. As you know, I'm not crazy about the economic deal, but President Trump sees it as kind of a conditioned precedent to move forward and to get broader peace in the region. Of course, we're supporting President Trump. And I think President Trump, heck, should get the Nobel Peace Prize. I've said that. I think he and Jared, particularly himself and Jared did a great job as architect the Abraham Accords. The Abraham Accords have really stood up in all the pressure that came after October 7th. And I think they've just done a terrific job. But it's going to be turbulent. You know, Buffett said that it's economic warfare and he put these level of tariffs on. And Trudeau didn't disagree with that when he addressed the Canadian people in times of turbulence, Birch Gold, make sure you understand it's not that gold's hitting a new high every five days, is that you understand why that's happening. You understand what it means, that gold's a hedge or a store of value in times of financial turbulence. Because, folks, there's a restructuring of the world's kind of economics, politics and national security. You're living history every day. Stick around tonight and 8:00 is going to be live coverage throughout the evening. The president at the White House, leaving the White House, going to the Capitol, addressing the nation and the world. We'll have commentary before and afterwards. Amazing. I want to thank everybody. Leave you with the right stuff. Make sure you check out Birch Gold. Right stuff will take you out. We'll see you back on Real America's voice at 8:00pm Eastern Standard Time. What if he had the brightest mind in the war room? Delivering critical financial research every month. Steve Bannon here. War Room listeners know Jim Rickards. I love this guy. He's our wise man. A former CIA, Pentagon and White House advisor with an unmatched grasp of geopolitics and capital markets, Jim predicted Trump's Electoral College victory exactly 312 to 226, down to the actual number itself. Now he's issuing a dire warning about April 11, a moment that could define Trump's presidency and your financial future.
