(00:10 – 13:18 | 36:22 – 38:29)

• Sam Faddis (00:30):
  • The only effective strategy against Iran centers on “cut[ting] off the Iranians capacity to sell oil and gas.”
  • Cautioned against negotiations that result in conceding to Iranian demands:

    “We need to craft a strategy that wins…cut off their capacity to threaten the world’s oil and gas. That’s got to be the centerpiece of the policy.”

• Steve Bannon (01:23):
  • Emphasizes economic warfare via sanctions, the global oil market, and threats to the U.S. Dollar posed by BRICS and alternatives to SWIFT.
• President Trump’s Press Availability (02:44 – 13:18 | 36:22 – 38:29):
  • Discusses the latest ceasefire proposal, military escalation, and conditional deadlines for Iran.
  • Reiterates that war will continue unless demands are met ("the answer is yes" to continuing the war, 02:59).
  • Strongly advocates regime change in Iran, claiming changes in Iranian leadership have led to more “reasonable” negotiators:

    "You can call it what you want but I call it regime change and I think most people are giving us credit for that." (04:24)

  • Asserts obliteration of Iranian infrastructure and persistence in preventing nuclear armament:

    “Israel would have been gone, extinguished … we are obliterating that country. And I hate to do it, but we are obliterating.” (05:44)

  • Questions about the humanitarian impact of bombing Iran, Trump's answer:

    “The Iranian people, when they don’t hear bombs go off, they're upset. They want to hear bombs because they want to be free…” (09:15)

  • Claims “MAGA” support is unshaken, citing a CNN poll with “100%” base support (07:34).

    “The war is about one thing. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.” (05:44)

  • On Iranian protest suppression:

    “If they protest, if they go out in the streets, they will be immediately shot. They don't have guns. You know, we sent some guns, but…the people that they sent them to kept them.” (09:15)

  • Draws parallel with Venezuela as an example of favorable U.S. oil policy and improved international relationships (07:56).

3. The Fight Against AI Data Centers in Rural America

(23:42 – 33:52)

• Terry Schilling (23:51):
  • Connects the AI/data center issue back to family affordability and rural American quality of life.
  • Warns of secretive efforts to build a massive (4.4 million sq ft) data center in Fort Meade, FL, potentially straining local resources and spiking costs:

    “This data center…will take up to 1 gigawatts of energy. … The bigger [nuclear plants] generate 1.3 gigawatts.” (23:51)
    “We don’t even know who’s behind it…They want to subjugate us and colonize all of rural America, which is where the heart of America truly is.” (25:13)

    “We got to flood the phone lines of the Fort Meade city council and tell them, no, we don’t want this data center.” (25:13)

    • Fort Meade City Council phone: [phone]
  • Frames the threat as existential — AI serving itself, not people:

    “…the reality is it sounds more and more that AI is going to be using us to make AI more powerful, not us using AI to make our lives better off.” (25:45)

  • Literary reference: C.S. Lewis’s That Hideous Strength as an allegory for contemporary issues (28:04, 31:50).

For Listeners Who Haven't Tuned In

This episode is a microcosm of the War Room’s focus: aggressive advocacy for America-first foreign and domestic policy, celebrating grassroots organizing against establishment narratives, and raising alarm about technological, political, and economic threats. The program is deeply skeptical of elite intentions—whether at the White House, the state capital, or Silicon Valley—and calls for active, organized opposition by listeners.

Transcript

[Donald Trump]

This is an iHeart podcast.

[Steve Bannon]

Guaranteed Human war room.

[Donald Trump]

Here's your host, Stephen K. Band.

[Steve Bannon]

We've got Terry Schilling on data centers for AI. I have Jeff Reyer on this heroic, heroic grassroots effort, Denver to Commonwealth, Virginia. We're going to try to get to all that. Sam Faddis, your closing observations here. I want to thank you for taking your Easter Monday morning and joining us, sir.

[Sam Faddis]

Here's the bottom line, Steve. We're in this war. We have to win this war. And the answer to ending the war is not to go and sit down at the table with the Iranians and concede to them and give them what they want. All on the bottom line is I'm saying the initial conception for how we were going to win this war, it didn't work. It was never going to work. We need to figure out why, who we listen to, where we're getting our information from. And we need to craft a strategy that wins. And it has to make oil and natural gas and the world supply of that and all the materials that come from it the center of gravity. We need to cut off the Iranians capacity to sell oil and gas and cut off their capacity to threaten the world's oil and gas. That's got to be the centerpiece of the policy. We're at and magazine at substack and magazine.substack.com

[Steve Bannon]

Sam Unbelievable. Always great observations and a steady, safe pair of hands. Thank you sir. Appreciate you. The Phoenix engine room reminds me and they send me that diesel is $6 and basically 50 cents in the Phoenix area. $6.50 in America runs on diesel. Let's go. By the way, Birchgold, our 8th reinstallment on Birchgold go to birchgold.com promo code Bannon right now you can get access to all 8 free installments of the end of the dollar empire. The eighth really addresses this pressure that's on the US Dollar today. Remember one of the centerpieces of this fight is an economic warfare. That's why they just talked about sanctions relief and true sanctions relief. Also how are they getting cash? Where is it going? Why are we allowing the Chinese Communist Party to get oil and pay for it and they're paying for it in their own currency to break the US Dollar, the BRICS nations. So all very complex. We make it all accessible for you. Birchgold.com, promo code Bannon into the dollar empire. The President is answering a few questions. Let's go ahead and cut back to the White House. Here are a couple of these questions. Before we get Terry and Jeff Reyra,

[Donald Trump]

how's the airman

[Terry Schilling]

fire proposal from this morning?

[Donald Trump]

I've seen every proposal you can imagine.

[Steve Bannon]

Your final deadline is Tuesday at 8:00pm Your final deadline. If Iran does not meet your demands,

[Donald Trump]

Mr. President, are you willing to continue the war? Well, you'll have to watch. It's an easy question. The answer is yes. But you have to. What do you think of the latest proposal? They made a proposal and it's a significant proposal. It's a significant step. It's not good enough but it's a very significant step. They have made, they're negotiating now and they have made a very significant step. We'll see what happens. Have you spoken with Piers Thomas? Do you believe the UK could resurrect like Jesus this Easter weekend? Well that's what they need. They have a long way to go. The UK has a long way to go. We don't want another Neville Chamberlain. Do we agree? We don't want, we don't want Neville Chamberlain. How is the airman doing? How is the airman in this rescue doing? He's doing really well. They're both doing well. Dinner was two and we held off the one because we, if you, if they would have known we had him so we held off the one. They are both recovering very well. They were both injured and they're doing well. What else? Mr. Said that Iran has no anti aircraft equipment. How are they able to drop? Well you know what, when you do thousands and thousands of flights and you have one plane shot down and not mortally. The two pilots got out, they got a little bit lucky and you know what, in war you need a little bit of luck also. They got a little bit lucky. That's all they got stopping you from ending the war. Well it could end very quickly, the war if they do what they have to do. They have to do certain things. They know that they've been negotiating I think in good fate. We've had total regime change. You know the people there now are much more reasonable than the lunatics that you had in phase one and phase two. They were lunatics. The people that we're negotiating with now in on behalf of Iran are much more reasonable. You can call it what you want but I call it regime change and I think most people are giving us credit for that. The first regime was taken out, the second regime was taken out. Now the third group of people that we're dealing with is not as radicalized and we think they're actually much smarter. Only to make my point, I Think you've heard it before. Have you spoken to the families of the Arabic state? I'm going to be doing it right now. What do you say to Americans to

[Steve Bannon]

announce the end of the war?

[Donald Trump]

They're foolish because the war is about one thing. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. Had we not broken the Barack Hussein Obama agreement. You know that, you know what I'm talking about, the Iran nuclear deal. This is years ago, my first term. You would have had a total. Israel would have been gone, extinguished. Israel would be. Would have been wiped off the face of the earth and the entire Middle east would have been, at a minimum, in big trouble. But I did it. That was phase one. We killed Soleimani without solemnity. If they had, Solomon would be a whole different thing, maybe would still be winning, but it would have been harder because we are obliterating that country. And I hate to do it, but we're obliterating. And they just don't want to say uncle. They don't want to cry, as the expression goes, uncle. But they will. And if they don't, they'll have no bridges, they'll have no power plants, they'll have no anything. I want to. I won't go further because there are other things that are worse than those two and we might have. Well, the thing. If I had my choice, what would I like to do? Take the oil because it's there for the taking. There's not a thing they can do about it, unfortunately. The American people would like to see us come home. If it were up to me, I'd take the oil. I'd keep the oil and would make plenty of money. And I'd also take care of the people of Iran much better than they've been taking care of. It's been a horrible. They've killed 45,000 people as of a month and a half ago, 45,000 protesters. We don't do that. So if I had my choice, I'd keep the oil. But I also want to make the people of our country happy. I think most people wouldn't understand that. I'll give you an example. Venezuela has worked out so incredibly. We've had 100 million barrels of oil right now in Houston being refined. It's been great. The relationship with Venezuela, the leaders, has been fantastic. And I think we're going to have a long term, very good relationship. And it might be. And it might be beyond long term. You understand what that means? Well, I tell you what, I'm pretty good at this stuff and I go around and I Check. They'd like to see us win and come home. And I appreciate CNN for the first time maybe in my life. They did a poll and everyone's saying, oh, is Trump losing maga? No, I'm not losing maga. MAGA loves what I'm doing. And CNN did a poll of MAGA voters, a big poll. Poll Harry. And he went on, he said, this is amazing, 100% support. He said, I've never had a 100% poll at anything before. And is, do you support Trump, MAGA people, which is, by the way, mostly Republican. If you look, I would say MAGA makes up a majority, like about 95% of the Republican Party. All right, so they went out, they did a poll, and CNN came back, 100% support. So they support what we're doing, but they would like to see it end and come back. But remember wars, last years, we're in there for 34 days, and we've obliterated a very powerful country in 34 days. Yeah, if we're up to me, I'd like to keep the oil. I just don't think the people of the United States would really understand.

[Steve Bannon]

How is it taking care of the Iranian people if you're bombing?

[Donald Trump]

Yeah. Who you with? Who you with?

[Steve Bannon]

Yes.

[Donald Trump]

Well, that's a radical left group of lunatics that you're with. Let me just tell you. Let me just tell you. Very fair question. The Iranian people, when they don't hear bombs go off, they're upset. They want to hear bombs because they want to be free. And the only reason they're not out protesting, you know, that is because they were informed that if they protest, like the wrestler and his friends, if they protest, they will be shot immediately. And that's an edict that's in writing. If they protest, if they go out in the streets, they will be immediately shot. They don't have guns. You know, we sent some guns, but the group that was supposed to give, which I said would happen to my people, I said it, I called it. Exactly. We sent guns, a lot of guns. They were supposed to go to the people so they could fight back against these thugs. You know what happened? The people that they sent him to kept them because they said, what a beautiful gun. I think I'll keep it. So I'm very upset with a certain group of people, and they're going to pay a big price for that. But the Iranian people will fight back as soon as they know they're not going to be shot. And as soon as they can get weapons, if they had weapons. Not many of them. If they had weapons, that would go the other way. And you know what would happen? Iran would give up in two seconds because they wouldn't be able to take it. But in Iran, they have absolutely no weaponry. And they've been told point blank, if you come out, if you come out to the streets, you will be killed. As of this morning, and we have this on pretty good information. 45,000 protesters have been killed. Pretty bad. Mr. President, you said Iran has been obliterated. Why are we still having more than that? It's a big country. They can't fight back. They have no capability. I mean, they have some missiles left, they have some drones left, but essentially they have no capability. They had a lucky shot with an airplane, but we got them back out. The rescue was incredible. And it wasn't a one person, it was a two person. There are those that say that's never happened before because usually when you're shot down in strong enemy and deep enemy territory, you can't go after them because you'll end up losing 250 people to get one. So it's a terrible thing. But we had to make a decision, do we do it or do we not? And we did. And you know, we have some helicopters with a lot of bullet holes in them right now, probably, you know that now I'm very honored by. I'm very honored to have rebuilt our military. We rebuilt our military in my first term. I'm using it in our second term. And we are the most respected country anywhere in the world with the greatest military anywhere in the world. Thank you. So we have a news conference. You'll all be there. So you can ask the question a little while. We have a news conference in a little while. What would you like to ask her? Well, all of this is happening for their future, so they will be safe in years to come. We're fighting for our children that are now in a war zone. We're keeping them as safe as we can possibly keep. But we're fighting for their parents, their grandparents. We're fighting for them. We're fighting for their future. And I will tell you, it was given to me loud and clear. The time the Iranian people are the most unhappy. When you hear bombs all over is when those bombs stop. That's the problem, when they stop, because that means that are they coming back? We want to have them back. And, you know, everybody knows that. Everybody sees it. So hopefully it could be over with quickly again. There are lots of different alternatives. We have many alternatives. We could leave right now and it would take them 15 years to rebuild what they have. We could leave right now, but I want to finish it up. Iran ready, cannot have a nuclear weapon. They are lunatics. And you can't put nuclear weapons in the hands of a lunatic. Thank you.

[Steve Bannon]

Okay, President United States right there taking questions. He's got a, he has a press briefing in an hour and a half, it looks like now. Oval Office. Caroline Levitt said it might be in the press briefing room. I think with the volume of major media globally that want to see this, you would think this might even be in the East Room because it's going to be absolutely packed. Oval will be packed. Real America's Voice will be there, cover all of it live. And then of course, Eric, back at 4 o'. Clock. We're here from 5 to 7 tonight to cover all this. And you saw right there, you know, President Trump is the best spokesman for this. He really pulls together all the strategic. You just heard right there how he's. And he's. Some of it's thinking out loud. So it's going to be quite interesting at 1 o' clock and then the deadlines tomorrow night at 8. And it sounds like, you know, he's, he did say broke some news there, it's been reported up to President Trump, took the microphone, went to the sticks, is that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard rejected a ceasefire proposal. He said, hey, we're actually in discussions and they've come back and there has been this discussion that. And they've said we're going to come back with our own 15 point plan. President Trump says they're in discussions and you know, the US and President Trump is chewing things over. I'm sure we're going to get more of that at 1 o', clock, 1pm Eastern Daylight Time. Do not miss it right here on Real America's Voice. So much other news we have to get to. This is why when you start, when the balloon goes up and you start going kinetic, it kind of sucks everybody's attention, as it should. But there's so many other important things going on. A couple things I want to get Jeff Reyer and really give a shout out to and any support we can for the heroic effort of the grassroots in three areas. As I said at CPAC in Texas, in Georgia and in the Commonwealth of Virginia have given, if people say, hey, the MAGA movement's dead and people are not responding and running and riding to the sound of the guns, they would be incorrect. Jeff Reyer, the chairman of the Gop Tell us the mainstream media, New York Times, Politico, full meltdown. That it looks like the grassroots are on fire in the Commonwealth of Virginia to basically potentially win this referendum that they've spent. Somebody told me they had raised, were spending 40 or $50 million and thought they were going to bury this to flip the illegally kind of unethically flip The Virginia delegation from 65 Democrat to Republican to 101 and virtually assure, I think will come very close to the impeachment of President Trump, to flipping the house and having them come after President Trump. Jeff, can you give us an update? With a couple of weeks to go,

[Jeffrey Reyer]

it's really getting kind of electric here on the ground. We have so many different efforts going on simultaneously, and we've gotten a tremendous amount of support from the grassroots who are really driving this entirely. We are starting to get monetary support as well from outside, not to the extent that the Democrats have, but at the very beginning, nobody was looking to give us much of anything. And now we actually have resources to be able to deploy with our grassroots. So it's been huge. We have. This morning I was at a rally town hall hosted by our former attorney general. There's several of these going on during the course of the week. We also have, we have rallies at the end of the week with Governor Youngkin. We're going across the state energizing our volunteers, and we have so many of them, and we put it in the hands of our volunteers. They're the best army we've got.

[Steve Bannon]

Tell people. Because the Republican establishment kind of folded and collapsed in the November elections. And it was just, it was just, it was unbelievable. How did you take. Because the whole word is that maga's dispirited, that the grassroots don't care anymore, that you can't get people motivated. And the Democrats are playing on this is that they've got the momentum. What was it at the very early days? Because this is like back in 20. This is like January, February, March, April of 2021, when President Trump was sent into exile and people were just going, man, if they can steal it from Trump, they can steal it from anybody. I'm going to give up. What was it and what was the motivational factor, you and your leadership and the grassroots leadership there, to get people motivated because you had no money and not quite. It was kind of dismissed. This thing in Virginia is gone. Spamberger's gonna get it and she'll be Newsom's running mate once she delivers that. What did you guys do to motivate people to get them start going door to door. The hardest thing you gotta do, knocking on doors and convincing people that this thing was unfair and had to be stopped.

[Jeffrey Reyer]

Well, a couple of things. First off, the Democrats in a weird way did us a favor because nothing excites our voters more than the idea that they're going to be silenced. Because experienced that during the Biden years when it wasn't just that we were being disagreed with, it was that we were being silenced and they were doing everything they could to silence us. This particular referendum is designed to silence conservative and Republican voices across the state. So that was assist number one. But assist number two came and I think it really helped to generate a lot of interest among our base is when they watched what the Democrats were doing. Abigail Spanberger campaigned as a moderate and then governed as a far left liberal. We have had legislation after legislation submitted by the Democrats that's sitting on her desk that she's inevitably going to sign. That makes us a mirror of California really taking those policies from the west coast and bringing them here to the east. It's that bad. And that makes it a little bit easier to get our, our base going. And it has made it easier because they've seen the consequences of Democrat rule.

[Steve Bannon]

Just incredible. And the leadership down there at the grassroots level has been incredible. And the amount of effort, the people going door to door, the hardest thing you have to do. Jeff, where do people go right now to find out more about what you're trying to accomplish and if they want to support you guys, where they go? Because this is a, this is a national, this has national and international impact. What's happening in the Commonwealth in the next couple of weeks?

[Jeffrey Reyer]

Absolutely. If you go to virginia.gop, that's virginia.gop. if you want to volunteer, click on that little no rigged maps box or at the very top of the page. You'll see stop gerrymandering. Click on that to volunteer. But we also, we are in crunch time here. If you can also click on our donate button and send us a little gift, trust me, it'll go directly to voter contact. We're trying to put together some extra people on the ground and bring some other people into the state. We're doing everything we can to fight. And Steve, I've got to thank you because frankly, my appearances on the War Room have brought us a lot of support and made me quickly recognizable around the state. I hear from so many volunteers now. Oh, I saw you on War Room. This exposure has been fantastic for us and it's really appreciated.

[Donald Trump]

Well, you guys rated.

[Steve Bannon]

I mean it's been incredible. And there's folks in Georgia and Texas. This is people say, hey, midterms lost, the Senate's lost, the House lost. Nothing's lost, nothing is written. Okay? Use and what Virginia the commonwealth shows you ryer in this band of patriots down there is human agency. If you just got too much grit and cussedness and say, hey, Spamberger Spanberger is a radical. She's a CIA trained, absolute neo Marxist and she showed that being in your grill the first couple of days of her regime and she thinks she's going to turn the Commonwealth of Virginia into California. Jeff's 100% correct. And be Newsom's running mate. That's what America's got in store for you. Look at what they've done. And to see these grassroots patriots with no support and quite frankly, people just dismissing it. And the establishment is saying, oh, this thing's over, Boom. Next thing you know, after a couple of weeks of intense effort in the use of human agency, guess what? There's a fight. This one's going to be fought down to the to the end. I can tell you, Jeff, honored to have you on here and anything we can do to support you guys, just let me know.

[Jeffrey Reyer]

Jeff Reich, well, you've been doing a

[Steve Bannon]

lot and Chairman of the gop.

[Jeffrey Reyer]

Thank you.

[Steve Bannon]

Thank you, sir. Appreciate you folks go to that website right now. You want to get inspired. Just like the folks in Georgia on the 2020 election, the Heroes down in Georgia, the heroes in Texas, both on Prop 10 and also the Paxton campaign and so many other grassroots campaigns on there. If you think that MAGA's over, if you think MAGA's, you know, disgruntled, if you think MAGA is despondent, you couldn't be farther from the truth. There are areas in this country where they're fighting as hard as people have ever fought. Terry Schelling, you've led the fight on this transgender ideology and we're winning. But every day on that is a grind because I don't think people realize how dug in they are in the economics. This is first off demonic, but they're making it's demonic and they're making money, which is the worst of all worlds. But you've now joined the fight with us. The other day you came as part of the alliance on this artificial intelligence. I know you guys have been working behind the scenes. You got such a great team over there. But I wanted you on here today to talk about data centers and particularly some things that are popping up here recently. First off, give me your overall assessment of now you've joined the alliance to fight artificial intelligence. And folks, behind the scenes, this is the single biggest fight that's going on in the Imperial capital because it's only dealing with, I don't know, the future of the species.

[Mike Lindell]

Right.

[Steve Bannon]

And unlimited money and power. And that's what. In the Imperial capital, that's what they're fighting for. Terry Schilling, the floor is yours.

[Terry Schilling]

Well, Steve, you're exactly right. We can't let our foot off of the gas on the trans fight. It's going very well. President Trump's essentially doing every single thing he can and then some to protect our children. I kind of stumbled into this AI fight primarily to protect children. But as I've traveled the country more and more trying to figure out how to make life more affordable, attainable for families and for young people who want to get married and have kids, the issue of these AI data centers keeps coming up. I sit down with donors and I tell them we're trying to make life more affordable. And they always say, it always threw me off in the beginning. What are you doing about these AI data centers? Those are going to jack up the price of living hugely. And you take into it. I stumbled upon this AI data center that they're trying to build in Fort Meade, Florida. It's Fort Meade, Florida, is a small town, 5,300 people. I grew up in a town of 6,000, so I understand just how small it is. Everyone knows each other, essentially. But this data center, we don't even know who's behind it, but it's being run by this D.C. real estate group called Stonebridge, and they're trying to build. Steve, I'm not exaggerating, I'm not lying. This is a 4.4 million square foot data center right in the heart of rural Florida. In Fort Meade. The city council right now is going to be voting to rezone the agricultural land to industrial to allow this data center. It's a nightmare, Steve. This data center, they estimate, will take up to 1 gigawatts of energy. To put that in perspective, nuclear power plants, that's how much they generate. Each of them. The bigger ones generate 1.3 gigawatts. This is going to drive up energy costs, it's going to drive up water costs, and it's going to drive down the value of the land, especially by the people closest to it. And we have to stop it. We have to stop this all over the country Steve, the ultimate fight. You put it exactly right. This is about the future of humanity. We're being promised that AI is going to usher in a new age of prosperity, when the reality is it sounds more and more that AI is going to be using us to make AI more powerful, not us using AI to make our lives better off. So I'm coming on. The war room posse's come through on so many awesome fights and we got to flood the phone lines of the Fort Meade city council and tell them, no, we don't want this data center. I got the number, Steve. It's 8632-8511-0086-3285. 1100. We've got to stop these things, Steve, because they don't want to help us. They want to subjugate us and colonize all of rural America, which is where the heart of America truly is.

[Steve Bannon]

Hold it, hold it. Don't bury the lead. 4.4 million what? Square feet.

[Terry Schilling]

4.4 million square feet for this data center. It's a monstrosity, Steve. It's 1300 acres that this company has. 1300 acres. 4.4 million square feet. You could build at least 1000 homes in this area and everyone would have a lot of property. It's absolutely atrocious. Where is this money going?

[Mike Lindell]

Or.

[Terry Schilling]

Right. Why are they doing this here in this small town America?

[Steve Bannon]

Or since it's. Since it's. Since it's agriculture. Maybe have a couple of cows out there. Hang on. 1. What do you say? The power output? The power output. 4.4 million square feet. 1300 acres. Is going to do what? One gigawatt. You told me. Is that. Is that the power output?

[Terry Schilling]

That's the estimates that they have for this, for this Data center is 1 gigawatt. That is a nuclear power plant. One nuclear. One regular sized nuclear power plant is 1 gigawatts. It's not sustainable, Steve. All of our rates are gonna go up because of this.

[Steve Bannon]

Unbelievable. On these data centers, boy, you get that kind of power. People walk around town that have half of their. Half of their head won't have any hair on it. The other half did. This is outrageous. How did it get this far into the city council? Why was it not shot down beforehand?

[Terry Schilling]

Well, they did try to sneak it through about a month ago. They had to fire the local city attorney that they hired. They went with a new one. But the vote to rezone is tomorrow evening, Tuesday, April 7th. And I'm encouraging everyone I can to call the city council and make sure that they know that you're opposed to building this data center. They're trying to sneak this through. See, we don't even know which company is gonna be using this land. It's being run through a secretive DC based real est company. And we don't know if it's Amazon, we don't know if it's meta, we don't know if it's Google. We have no clue. No one's disclosing anything. And I think it's because it's probably not. You'll see by have you I don't know if you've read this book, but I'm reading this book called the Hideous Strength right now. It's from C.S. lewis's Sci Fi trilogy. It reminds me so much of that book.

[Steve Bannon]

Yeah, hang on one second. I'm gonna just hold it to you. Terry Sherman.

[Donald Trump]

We rejoice when there's no more.

[Terry Schilling]

Let's take down the sea.

[Donald Trump]

Agriculture land's got to stay down there for agriculture. These data centers are a pestilence. Sir, your thoughts?

[Terry Schilling]

Well, Steve, I think everyone's big concern with AI is that we're being promised that AI is going to be used to help usher in a new age of prosperity for us as human beings. But the more and more we see of AI and its development, the more it seems like we're going to be working for AI and working for the system. I'm reading this book right now, that hideous strength by C.S. lewis. It's the third of his space trilogy. And it reminds me so much of the era we're in. Even with these secretive committees like they have in this book. They have this committee called the nice and it's all about ushering in a new age of prosperity. They're gonna unleash knowledge upon the people. They just want control. They just wanna control us and treat us like the cogs in a machine that they view us as. And they don't want us having freedom and real education, real formation, because that's a threat to them. But the reality is we have to shut this thing down. Steve, if they can do this in these rural parts of the country, they'll do whatever. They've already won the cities, they've already won urban America. Now they're taking over rural. So we need everyone to flood the zone with the Fort Meade City Council. The phone number to call to make sure that you voice your opposition to this new 4.4 million square foot data center. That's gonna take up an entire nuclear power plant of energy and jack up everyone's rates for energy and water and knock down your prices. Is 8632-8511-0086-3285 1100 for the Fort Meade City Council. Call them today all the way up until their meeting tomorrow night to make sure that they know that you are greatly opposed to mower AI data centers.

We're back here at five o'. Clock. We'll do a transition with Eric Golding. Make sure you watch the press conference of one.

[Donald Trump]

We have to stop them and we can't let them have a nuclear weapon. Very simple. They want a nuclear weapon. They've been trying for a long time. I stopped them with the Obama horrible Iran nuclear deal. I stopped him in a lot of different ways. We got rid of Solemani, the evil genius, who was an evil genius. We got rid of him and then we stopped him with the B2 bombers not so long ago. And we didn't do it. Israel and the Middle east would have been extinguished by now. If they don't, it's trouble. Are you on board with the 40? So bad. It's such a bad. It's such a bad network. Such a pathetic. Is this your camera? You watch? Go ahead, go ahead. Talking about 45 minutes. The only one that's going to set a ceasefire is me. I haven't set any ceasefire. But they will. They'd like to have a ceasefire because they're getting obliterated. So we'll see how they behave. Okay? And it's amazing we had nobody even injured. It's amazing it never happens when pilots go down in war and you're in tough territory. Vietnam and places like Iran, they're tough. They don't have to fight. They're nasty. Very rarely do you go in because you're going to send 200 people in on a mission and that mission will likely, likely be unsuccessful and you're going to get one person and you're going to lose 200 people. Well, we have a great military good to happen. If it seems like diplomatic talks are

[Steve Bannon]

picking up, are you willing to hold off on attacking?

[Donald Trump]

Well, I want to say I don't even want to talk about it because I've given them chances and they haven't taken them. So I don't want to really talk about it. Okay. They've had plenty of time. In fact, they asked the seven days. I said, I'm going to give you 10. But at the end of 10, all hell's going to break out if you don't get Mr. President, do you expect Vice President? Well, he is, and we have Steve Woodcock and Jared Cushing.
