You got a little bit out of the President today regarding an announcement he's going to make tonight regarding a new tax cut. What did he say we did? I just joined a number of other anchors from a variety of networks and we had a long lunch with the President, most of which was off the record. But as you just said, the president is polling very poorly as it relates to the economy. Well, he is definitely not hearing that because tonight, get ready, he plans to announce that we are going, we are going into what he believes will be the three greatest years in our country's economic history. And we're just getting started. We should expect he is going to announce some sort of tax cut proposal that will be both corporate and personal, but it's not going to be a traditional tax cut, meaning he's not going to have to get Congress involved. So they said get ready. It'll be in a different format. Obviously, Iran was a very hot topic. All of us have been saying we're going to get a big announcement, we're going to get a big announcement. It doesn't seem like something immediate, but what he did say was Iran wants a deal more than we do. However, they're unwilling to say the magic phrase, which is we will stop producing nuclear weapons. And for him, that's what this whole thing is about. Besides the tax cut announcement, there will be a few other economic announcements. And he also hinted at this rate payer protection plan, which he's most likely going to announce with a bunch of tech companies tonight. Remember, these are the tech companies building the huge data centers around the country and you've reported on it. Many of the communities where these data centers are being built are fighting back against it. Just last week there was a community in New Jersey that fought and won to not have a data center be built there. Well, tonight they're going to announce some sort of agreement with these tech companies that once these data centers are complete and they will be responsible for paying their own electricity bills for those areas because that's the big issue, that the amount of electricity that they use is a huge drain on the community and it's jacking up everybody's Electric bills. So I believe what we're going to hear is some sort of an announcement that those companies who are building those air centers, they'll be covering the costs, say, to the unions tonight. And the President is going to try to address the economy, is going to come out with some proposals, including another tax cut, which I'm sure anybody who's a deficit hawk is going to be so excited about. But as we were talking about, he's everywhere. He's everywhere all the time. So how much does the State of the Union from the president really matter?
- [05:08]
Stephanie Ruley
It doesn't matter at all. Sorry. I know that's not what you're supposed to say, and cable news probably is a pundit, but it doesn't matter at all. There's not any evidence recently that there have been State of the Unions that really mattered. I think you go back to George W. Bush and, and the Axis of Evil basically probably is the last State of the Union speech that had any real impact at all, because it had a real impact on policy going forward in foreign policy in a pretty negative way. So, look, he's going to talk for a very long time tonight, so I'm going to try to get comfy watching it. But, like, the only thing that he could do to improve his political standing is improved the lives of people. People are moving away from him. This is where I do kind of quibble with Marjorie Taylor Greene. I don't really think people are moving away from him because he's tweeting too much and shouting too much. Most people are used to that. Like, people are moving away from him because they don't like the policies. They don't like that the tariffs have raised prices. They don't like the aggressive immigration enforcement, the murdering of US Citizens. They don't like that. He seems to care more about, like, you know, a new ballroom in the White House and about, you know, the costs that are affecting regular people's lives. I don't think they want war with Iran, which he is planning. So, like, that's his problem. I don't. I don't think it's the fact that he is annoying everybody. I mean, he is annoying me personally.
- [06:33]
Grant Stinchfield
I don't know.
- [06:34]
Stephanie Ruley
To me, I thought the Marjorie Taylor Greene argument that Donald Trump was betraying the America first base by not focusing enough on the concerns of Americans. I thought that was a much more salient critique of Trump than this one that you displayed.
- [06:48]
Cancer Survivor / Public Service Announcer
Did you get the sense that he's leaning toward a strike or something more? I got the sense that he's ready. Do I feel like it's imminent? I definitely cannot answer that. But listen, they were positioned and ready to go in Venezuela for quite some time. And I think when we think about what the president's going to talk about tonight, I'm sure he's going to talk about the strike on Iran last year, which he would say was extraordinarily successful. I think we. Well, we're going to see a similar sentiment when he talks about what happened in Venezuela. And while I don't think and we don't know that we're going to see something happen in the next 24 hours in Iran, he made it clear they want a deal more than he wants a deal. But it's all about nuclear. And unless they are willing to say no new nuclear, there's no deal to be had.
- [07:36]
Grant Stinchfield
We saw in Trump 1.0 with Americans got tired of it by the end. Trump 2.0 has been more exhausting than Trump 1.0 because he's so much less restrained. Trump 1.0, had he not had a cadre of people in the administration that were constantly throwing their bodies in front of his worst instincts, then there would not be the nostalgia that a lot of people had for that first Trump term. But now he's unrestrained. He's surrounded by sycophants, he's surrounded by yes men, and nobody's throwing their body in front of his worst policy instincts. And so now we're looking at a situation where even on his best issues, he's now getting close to 20 points underwater. But asking him to do anything different is like just asking him not to be Donald Trump. This is what we are stuck with. This is what we are going to deal with absent impeachment and conviction, which isn't happening for another three years. So it's incumbent upon us to hang on as best we can during the remaining three years of this ride. Hey, I just left the White House, where I'm just leaving now. The president did a lunch with network news anchors and offered a bit of a preview of his speech. One notable thing we did talk about Iran. He said that Iran wants some deal more than I do, but they just can't say the magic words, which he said was that they won't build a bomb. The president said he's going to talk a lot about the economy and he's going to call for new tax cuts tonight. And he's going to say that the next three years in America will be the best years economically that we've ever had. And he's going to say or he told us it's already begun. So that's here at the White House, just leaving lunch with the president and network anchors. This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on this beautiful people. Reasons 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. And where do people like that go to share the big lie? MAGA MEDIA I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

WAR ROOM here's your host, Stephen K. Band.
- [10:12]
Grant Stinchfield
It's Tuesday the 24th of February, year of our Lord 2026. Tonight is the really the technique, the technically the first State of the Union address of the second term. Of course, he had an update to Congress last year. A couple of weeks after the inauguration, Breitbart's chief national political editor, Matt Boyle, the famous Matt Boyle, joins us. Matt Boyle, rumor has it we want to break some news here in the war room. Rumor has it that you were actually in the broadcast anchors lunch today at the invitation of the president of the United States. Is there any truth to that rumor?
- [10:49]
Matt Boyle
Yes, that is true. Alex Marlowe and I were there from Breitbart. We were the only two journalists in the room who do not work at a television network. Breitbart is many things, but we are not a television network. So it was a historic moment and I think a major commitment by President Trump, Vice President Vance and the entire White House team, including press Secretary Carolyn Levitt and communications director Steven Chung, as well as White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and everybody else on the team. Team to something we've seen throughout this first year back in his second term that they are working with the new media. And we weren't the only new media outlets there. Newsmax was there as well, and so was News Nation. So it was great to see an expanded room. The president, presidents of both parties have traditionally done this on the afternoon before they deliver a State of the Union address. They they host the nation's top journalists and broadcast anchors and whatnot for a lunch at the White House where they go through the speech and you know, oftentimes it's, you know, entirely off the record, sometimes pieces of it will come out and they'll talk about issues of the day. It tends to be a very free flowing discussion and whatnot. I've heard about these for a long time. I've never been to one. So it was an honor and I want to thank the President and his entire team for inviting us. It was quite a, quite an experience. I sat right across the table from the President and talked to him about a number of different things. So did everybody else in the room. You know, the reports you just played from like Stephanie Ruley there at msnow, I guess is what they call it. It used to be MSNBC and Jonathan Karl. Those are accurate reports, I would say, of what happened in the room and what he talked about. There was definitely a lot of discussion about Iran, you know, and what, what a potential thing would look like if we did engage in a strike and what the negotiations are like back and forth. There's a lot of focus on upcoming on Thursday there's big negotiations happening in Geneva. It's true, he did say he believes that Iran wants a deal more than he does, but he also would like to see a deal work. But also he's not sure if Iran can agree to the big picture question, which is no nuclear weapons, so what a potential action looks like, how that would shake out, etc. You know, all kind of TBD. In addition to that, he'd also told us the President did tell us that he intends to push for more tax relief. There was one little detail there that I think that Stephanie Ruley said about not going to Congress with it. They were kind of unclear, both he and the White House staff, about exactly what that the package would look like if it would be another reconciliation or if it would be a tax bill or something like that before Congress or if it would be executive action. I'm not entirely sure if you know, what that's going to look like, but he did say that it would be much more of a focus for individuals than corporate tax rates, but it would also be something that helps corporations as well. So exactly what that looks like. We'll see. We'll put it this way. There's likely to be a lot of surprises and a lot of focus on particular individuals who have served the country well tonight as well. So I think that's going to be interesting. One other thing he mentioned to us, I think, is that he, you know, I don't know if this will end up being the case or not because Trump tends to go very long in speeches, but he mentioned something about going shorter, so we'll see if that ends up being the case or not. So who knows? That was right at the very outset of the lunch.
- [14:40]
Grant Stinchfield
I know everything in this confidential. And it's really stunning that you were invited because this is always just a broadcast. This is not guys that work in broadcast tv. These are like the anchors. It's supposed to be the biggest. It's always been Walter Cronkite going over, or Tom Brokaw or Huntley Brinkley. Right. Or Eric Severite, people like that, at that level. The president yesterday. We're gonna talk about this in the next block after we finish with this. That, you know, he's shaking his head, saying, I don't know how these people. The media doesn't support us taking out the bad hombres. When you're in the room, the contentious relationship of President Trump and the media is at an all time high. This is not the days when Cronkite could go over and advise, you know, Jack Kennedy what was happening. Just put us in the room. And I don't want to give a confidence, but it was a cordial atmosphere
- [15:31]
Matt Boyle
without revealing any particular things or particular people or discussions or anything like that. I will say it was a very cordial atmosphere. Right. I talked to many of the people personally in the room. I mean, these are folks that, you know, I mean, we've had contentious stuff with Breitbart over the years, but they were all very nice to me. I was trying to be nice to everybody, and they were all very nice to President Trump.
- [15:54]
Grant Stinchfield
So.
- [15:55]
Matt Boyle
So I don't know if that's just the nature of, like, the historic, you know, setting and whatnot. This was in the State Dining Room at the White House. Right. Like, and they took us up the, you know, normal. I've never been in there before. Right. Like, I know I've been to the White House, you know, dozens of times over the years. Trump's first term and now in his second term. I've never been in the State Dining Room, so that was really cool, like, going in that door. But it was a very cordial, happy, you know, uplifting meeting. Nobody was really nasty to each other, to the president or his team. It was all very, you know, nice. And so now look, we'll see how that's reflected in coverage later. Down.
- [16:39]
Grant Stinchfield
Yeah, I'm sure it will change. Yeah, President Trump was nice to. Gave him a good lunch in a classy, in a classy, historic room, but it won't change. Anyway, Matt, hang on. We're going to get more into this. Your thoughts on the State of the Union. Also, the angel moms are going to go back and revisit it because Matt Boyle was there at the beginning and there is a story to be told. Birch Gold take your phone out. Text Bannon Ba? N Owen at 989-898 this Friday, February 27th, the President's going to Corpus Christi, Texas to make sure Texas understands how important it is in these primaries.

Matt, I know you run a live blog tonight over Breitbart. We'll be following it. Give us your assessment. Give us a couple of minutes. Haven't know the, you know the president better than anybody, any reporter out there. You went to the lunch. What's your assessment of what's going to happen at the State of the Union tonight?
- [19:57]
Matt Boyle
Yeah, well, he's going to strike a chord with the economy here. Right. So he, you know, there's a lot of good signs out there in the economic data at a macro level, GDP numbers, jobs numbers, the wages numbers, the inflation's down and cooling. Right. Like and there's a lot of good big picture signs economically. But how does he convince the American public that the economy is, is coming back and doing strongly now? And you know, yes, he's right that he when he always says that he inherited a massive mess, but you know, how does he connect the dots here for the average American and get them on board with that? So I think you heard Stephanie Ruley talk about how he's, he's going to talk about how the next three years are going to be the best economic years we've ever had as a nation. And he's got to convince people that's the case. And so I think you're going to see him make specific policy announcements this evening. And some of them you've already started seeing, like I mentioned, the tax stuff that we're going to probably see. You're also going to see them really focus on what they're calling a ratepayer protection plan. This came out in the Wall Street Journal and several senior White House staff confirmed this to us as well as we were leaving a few hours after we got there. And particularly what that is, is that as they're building these data centers, they, they understand there are huge electricity costs on this. So they have apparently worked out a deal with the tech companies where the tech companies have agreed to cover the entire cost of all the electricity that's going to be needed for their data centers in their communities. So as that so people's electricity bills do not go up. And I think that that's a huge deal. I think you'll also see Them really focus on energy. Everybody I'm talking to across the administration, whether it's these folks we were with today or other folks. You know, I was just in Greece last week, as you know, where we did a big event with Ambassador Guilfoyle. She's here in Washington this week. I know that they're very much focused on energy, expanding the exportation of American energy, energy dominance in every respect. I know the president is very happy with his entire Cabinet, you know. And so I think that, you know, particularly people like Secretaries Wright and Burgum and their focus on energy and, you know, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin as well. So I think that you will very likely see a big focus on energy tonight. And also on immigration. I think that immigration, never forget that immigration is the central issue on why Donald Trump was elected in 2016 and again in 2024. It's why it's the heart of this, the beating heart of this movement is that people want to have a country with secure borders, where people don't get killed by illegal aliens who shouldn't be in our country to begin with. And this is. You see, you saw the White House do a massive event yesterday with the angel families. I'll tell you this. It came up during the lunch. Again, without revealing any individual people and specific things. I know the president was very happy with the places that did cover that event, and he was a little perplexed with some of the outlets that didn't. And so it's a huge part of the story. And I agree with the president and his team wholeheartedly that, that, you know, covering these Angel Family stories is very important. What happened with those folks, it's just disgusting that these people are in this country to be able to do this. You know, you saw this last year where he brought Lake and Riley's family to the, to the joint address last year. And I think Jocelyn Nungare's family. Right. Like. So I think you're gonna see more of a focus on that from this administration because it's a real human cost of illegal immigration and crime. And by the way, that's another thing. I wouldn't be surprised. We didn't talk about it at the lunch today, and nobody really brought this up. But I wouldn't be surprised. One of the biggest successes of this administration is that crime statistics are down significantly, like violent crimes, et cetera. I've done a bunch of stories with the FBI on this, and I think that I wouldn't be surprised. Now, again, I have no inside information about this in particular, because, again, we didn't address this today, but I wouldn't be surprised if you don't see a big focus on crime and particularly illegal immigration in the speech tonight, because those are some of the big successes of the Trump administration.
- [24:32]
Grant Stinchfield
Now that you mentioned, a couple of networks did cover the beginning of the event and all the way through the president's remarks and then cut away. Real America's Voice was the only network that covered the reading of the names and then this magnificent singing of Amazing Grace. And the president really almost being too choked up, he went up and I think he's gonna say a few closing words. And then he just waved to the audience and went back to be Commander in Chief. Matt, since you know, the beginning of the story, I want to go ahead and play this. And I would ask, since we're producing in real time here, we're going to have to blow the brake because I want to play this in its entirety. Let's go and play a kind of a summary composition of yesterday's. And it was such an important moment for President Trump because it goes back to the beginning of this movement that he's still talking about it today, that I can. I can sort of, as Matt said, they even brought it up at the broadcast lunch because it's top of mind with him. Let's go ahead and play it in its entirety. We'll blow the brake and bring Matt Bowell back in. I'm going to be joining angel families who have had their family members killed by illegal aliens. And today we remember and celebrate them.

Tell their stories. Matt the I want to thank Parker and Rob say the entire Real America's Voice team 1 let us blow the brake there but 2 to show that in its entirety essays we did Matt I no doubt Stephanie Rule and Jake Tapper and Jonathan Karl and all the big Shots of the mainstream media. They would have no earthy idea what the angel moms are or what this whole thing is. You do, because I want to mention some other names. Michelle Moons, Brandon Darby, Tony Lee, Matt Boyle. That back in 2013 when Breitbart first started covering the story and a little known and Joshua Wilkinson's mom became a major player and 14 in the victory of Dave Bratt over because she just stood up at a microphone and told her story. And people were just as shocked as they were yesterday. Her son beaten, tortured, strangled, then put set a fire alive, burned to death and then his charred remains thrown into a dumpster. And she has to live with that. President Trump, as you remember, Matt, you cut forward a couple of years, we've been covering this. President Ford, after he announced for president had that first debate, I think was in September 2015, not one Republican politician would step forward and take up their cause. And he did it. And that's why they love him. He got in the room, you remember he got in the room that day and just listened to their stories and they poured their hearts out and he didn't have any time. He just moved everything off. He wanted to hear this because he was so shocked about what he had heard he had just said two months before. And he came down the escalator. We have to close the border. We have to stop the rapists from coming. You have to stop the murderers. Lemon and CNN and everybody was mocking Ricky. Who's this? No one's ever spoken like this. Who is he to talk like this? He took up the cause of the angel Moms. Why? Cuz he's a good and decent man and this is what drove him to the presidency. Bush wouldn't talk about it, Cruz wouldn't talk about it. None of them. All 15 guys, that platform because it wasn't socially acceptable to bring this into the political conversation. It took Donald Trump. That's what he shattered. He shattered this prison we had set upon ourselves as conservatives and Republicans and the populist nationalists wouldn't tolerate it. That's what Trump did. He shattered political speak and said we're now gonna talk the truth to the American people. Matt Boyle, you were there at the beginning, sir.
- [36:12]
Matt Boyle
Yeah, well, I remember The Gang of Eight amnesty bill and that whole debate in 2013 after Mitt Romney lost the election in 2012, an inherently winnable election. It's why I came to Breitbart after Mitt Romney last the election. I remember negotiating the deal with you, Steve, in the weeks after the. After the the, the, the 2012 election. And the reason why I came over here from Daily Caller, I had offers from across the establishment media, by the way. I could have went anywhere I wanted. Right. Like, and the reason why I came here was to tell these stories because I thought that the rest of the media and the Republican establishment, et cetera, were getting the, the read of this wrong. Right. Like, I really did. And, and I wanted to be the one to get it right. And it was a huge risk and a gamble for me, me to do that. Right. Like, I could have just played it safe and, you know, gone like any of these other folks. And then by the time I'm in my 40s and 50s, probably be, you know, where some of these other people are, it's to TV anchors and whatnot. But I took a major risk. I came to Breitbart to go out there and tell these immigration stories in particular, and that we saw that debate play out in 2013 and then in the years afterwards. Right. And you mentioned Eric Cantor going down, Dave Brattle beating him. That's where I first heard the story of Joshua Wilkerson, one of the names read there, where I heard his mother, Laura Wilkerson, she was at a rally in Virginia in the, in the seventh District where Dave Bratt was running against Eric Cantor. And she went out and she spoke and told the story. And it was like I was floored by it when I heard it. And then I started getting to know the other angel moms and telling their stories, and we started doing individual pieces on it. I really encourage people to go back and look at that stuff. It's more than a decade old, but we still have the stories up on Breitbart. We'll have to go back and refine them and tell them again. But, you know, in those names you heard there that were read, I mean, those are the ones we, we know about. They get a lot of publicity and whatnot. There are hundreds, maybe thousands more of these. There's another one every day. Right there. There are drunk driving, illegal aliens killing people. There are illegal alien truck drivers killing people. Right. You know that Gavin Newsom and other Democrat governors are giving CDLs to. Right? They shouldn't have that if they can't speak English. Right. And so there are more crimes. These are crimes that shouldn't have happened if we enforce our immigration laws. These illegal aliens, that's what's so heinous about this. They wouldn't have been here to commit these crimes, and the people they killed would still be alive.
- [38:36]
Grant Stinchfield
Today, we wouldn't have had. And this is why I think touched President Trump, because I think it's. You could see when he said there, how can these media and how can these politicians. It's almost incomprehensible. And I think yesterday was a very emotional connection to something that is the very beginning, the railhead of the Trump movement. This is why he's President United States. This is why he won in 20. This is why he had the great years in the wilderness and came back in the greatest political comeback ever. He's had one of the greatest years ever, probably the greatest year you could argue. And now we're up against it. He's coming to Texas on Friday because once again, we are called to go to the ramparts. That's just the way it is. We're fighting. These people that we're fighting want to destroy the country. You don't think they want to destroy the country? Ask the angel moms. Don't ask Matt Boyle and don't ask Steve Bannon. Ask them.
- [39:27]
Matt Boyle
I'll never forget when he delivered his speech at the bottom of the escalator. It was a really short speech for Trump terms, right? Like when Trump announced his presidential campaign the first time in the summer of 2015, where he came down the golden escalator there with Melania. I was standing there at the bottom of this, this, the escalator, and he got up there and he talked about rapists and murderers coming into the country. And the whole media was shocked, Right? I remember standing there. Do you remember Ed Schultz from msnbc now? Ms. Now, okay? Ed Schultz is standing there next to me. And when the two of us are looking at each other and he was just shocked, flummoxed, that, you know, kind of laughing a little bit. But when I started hearing Trump talk about this, I was blown away. I was like, this guy's the guy, right?
- [40:10]
Grant Stinchfield
Like, he's gonna be the one the mainstream media was talking about after the speech, the nightly broadcast. Trump was done at the very opening of his thing. This is where people forget. They thought they were burying Trump that day. He said, you can't talk like that. You can't say rapists and murderers. Nobody does that. He went. They did a flash poll and he went to number one and never looked back. Ben Carson came close in October for a day or two, but Trump never looked back because he shattered political nomenclature. He shattered the prison that we had self imprison ourselves to see what you see and to say it. And people said, I want that guy, right?
- [40:50]
Matt Boyle
You Want to know why Ben Carson came close? Because he went to the border. And I went up in a helicopter with Ben Carson at the border down in Arizona where he was up there talking about illegal alien crimes and drugs and stuff coming across. I'll never forget it. Right. That's why Ben Carson came close. So the message to any Republican out there running for office, period, and frankly, any Democrat, I'm shocked the Democrats haven't learned from this and tried to hijack it from the Republicans as an issue because they would be very smart, too. But the point is, the message to anyone running for office in America is talk about this issue, right? Like, because it is the number one thing on people.
- [41:26]
Grant Stinchfield
No, we have to act. We have to act upon it. Now, the reason the Democrats don't, they got their 25 million in here. They think that saves them demographically. Matt, amazing job. I'm so proud of the fact that you sat in the chairs that people like Walter Cronkite and Eric Sevoride and those folks sat over the years. Although we don't agree with their politics, they were giants in media to be in the White House talking to the president of the United States on the day of State of the Union. Historic. And you've come a long way from your days at Daily Caller, your days of being first off kicked out of every Disney university that was out there, your days at Daily Caller under Tucker, your days at Breitbart under Andrew and myself. And then now as one of the leaders in conservative media and particularly populist nationalist media, you and Alex today, it was a great. I'm so proud of you guys being there with all the grand poobahs in the media. You're twice as smart, twice as hardworking, twice as informed and 10 times more beloved than those folks. So where do people go to get your coverage tonight, sir?
- [42:32]
Matt Boyle
Yeah, just go to breitbart.com, we'll be doing live updates on the website. Also my social media, Boyle1 on X Twitter and @RealMattBoyle on Twitter, true social. So we'll be on all of those places and more. And yeah, so that's going to be the. It's going to be fun tonight.
- [42:47]
Grant Stinchfield
We'll look forward tonight and look forward to seeing what you got to say. Thank you, sir.

Grant's going to take it from seven. We got the lads in studio 6B. Doesn't get any better than that. And then I'll jump in at the end of their broadcast to pick it up for 9 o'.

Mike Lindell
Clock.
- [43:17]
Grant Stinchfield
All the way in. And we're gonna have all the RAV team after the speech to make sure we're doing the breaking analysis and observations. And then, of course, tomorrow morning also, Philip Patrick Gold's been on fire again. Cryptos tanking. President Trump, a big part of this is going to be tariffs. His ideas about the economy, tax cuts. First off, what are you looking for as one of the top financial analysts around? And then what impact do you think it's going to have on Gold?
- [43:51]
Philip Patrick Gold
Look, what am I looking for from the president in the State of the Union?
- [43:56]
Grant Stinchfield
Yes.
- [43:57]
Philip Patrick Gold
Yeah, look, I think he should and will highlight the progress that he's been making. It's been quite incredible. We've got to remember he's been in for 13 months and the turnaround has been, quite frankly, astounding. Inflation is down from the peak. We forget it was over 9% under Biden. We're at 2.5% today. The economy overall has recovered and is growing. He needs to highlight that GDP expectations beat anyone's predictions. The president has secured, as we know, huge investment into the country, 5 trillion doll and as much as $18 trillion coming in new money. Employment remains historically strong. Manufacturing output has increased. Energy production has reached record highs under President Trump. So I think he needs to stress the success that he's had. However, I think you need to understand, and he needs to sort of let people know he knows families are still feeling the pressure from the cumulative damage done under the Biden administration over the last few years. Economic uncertainty at the mom moment is pervasive. And I think Trump needs to acknowledge that and let people know both that progress has been made in his grand economic plan. But there's work yet still to be done. For me specifically and for markets, I think the important message needs to be growth with discipline. The big economic question today isn't whether the economy is growing. It clearly is under Trump. The big question is whether we can accomplish his plan without losing control of the debt. We have to remember we are still printing and spending $9 billion a day. The stakes at the moment could not be higher. And that's where I think the markets are really focused as we've said many times interest payments are now the number two item on the federal budget. Markets want to know how we can manage that without spiking inflation. Confidence was decimated under Biden, which has made the problem more difficult for President Trump. So I think he needs to go out there and create confidence. He's doing a fantast job. And I think it's just a case of getting that message across.
- [46:12]
Grant Stinchfield
What should obviously Friday, historic kind of opinion of the, of the Supreme Court. I argue that they open closed the front door, but they open up. Kavanaugh gave you a path to continue on redoing global commercial relationships. A, what do you think about that and B, how do you believe the president should address that tonight?
- [46:36]
Philip Patrick Gold
Look, I think with caution. Tariffs were incredibly strong. The revenue they generated was fantastic and it's revenue we need. I don't think that's going to be affected. As you said, they found another path to keep generating that revenue. I think overall it's just about this backwards and forwards tariff policy, then getting struck down by the Supreme Court finding a workaround. This is creating more instability. And I think it's not the president's fault. Right. This is coming from the Supreme Court. But I think at the end of the day, it just needs to be about stability, about caution and making sure the world knows we have a well thought out plan that is working. We just need a little bit of time.
- [47:20]
Grant Stinchfield
Can you hang on? I want to just hold you through the break and get some closing thoughts. The 27th is Friday, so the president's got the State of the Union tonight. On Thursday, Bobby Kennedy's coming to Austin, Texas, which we'll be covering to have a Make America Healthy Again conference, which is going to be huge. The president is coming to Texas on Friday, the last day of early voting. And I think to motivate people and get them jacked up for game day next Tuesday. Because as Texas goes, so goes the nation. The president understands they're going to see some real, I think, very smart analysis Coming up on Warham Texas at the top of the, at the top of the hour, Burchko. Also, the 27th is another date. It's the last day you can get your free copy of the Patriots edition. You have to go to Birch gold, go to birchgold.com, promo code Bannon, the end of the dollar empire.

Philip we talked about this a lot. The reason the president coming to Texas and we're talking about this in the next hour at War Room Texas, about these seats, these five seats that came up, we got to win these seats right now. Your mantra to me is that, Steve, we need stability. We can't go back and forth, particularly we can't reverse back to the Biden years. If we lose the House, it's just more chaos and anarchy. Give me a minute on that, sir.
- [51:04]
Philip Patrick Gold
It's absolutely correct. Stability is key. If we want to make the dollar attractive again, we can't. You know, the Supreme Court decision tariffs backwards, forwards. It creates confusion and instability. If we lose the House, come November, it's going to be the same thing again. Policies being reversed. It's the last thing the world wants to see. President Trump's job coming in, and I've said this so many times, it was the most difficult job for any president in history. The job he's done is absolutely incredible. But it's very difficult. He is walking a tightrope. We have a world running away from the US Dollar. That alone is the biggest problem we face. Without clear economic policy, without stability, it's going to be very difficult, if at all possible, to put that genie back in the bottle. And I think for our long term prospects, that's the most important fight we have.

Mike Lindell, you're going to watch the State of the Union night because you're one of President Trope's closest colleagues and friends. I want you to put two hats on. One, as someone running for governor against Amy Klobuchar, having chased Waltz out of the race in one of the most greatest but most troubled states in our beloved Union. The other, as one of the top entrepreneurs that has built a company from the trunk of his car with proprietary product. Give me. Give me your thoughts on what you're looking for in the State of the Union with both hats.
- [55:01]
Mike Lindell
Yeah, well, with the State of the Union, I'm hoping he brings out, you know, the tariffs were working, you guys. Just in my industry alone with the. My pill, they were. There were weavers and spinners that were finally going to come back to the United States. Now, I don't know where that's sitting now, but it was. This was working because we were looking at. There's no weavers or spinners left to make these certain thread count of sheets. Just things you don't even know that you don't see behind the Scenes. But one of the biggest things, Steve, is that I really want him to focus on is the Save America Act. You guys, I have fought five years to secure our elections. Everything's come from our elections. And this is the most important midterm election in the history of our country. Coming up, it is actually, you know, I'm involved to save Minnesota running for governor against Amy Klobuchar. What Amy Klobuchar has done for fraud and what I've done for fraud are two worlds apart. Remember, Amy was all about, let's go to paper ballots, hand counting. And I'm all about, we agreed on that. I went in and pursued fraud for five years. Amy's over here. What did she do? Took all this money from our government for these welfare programs. And she's not a very good steward of her money because it's gone. Is gone. The biggest crime, biggest fraud in American history. I really believe the president needs to focus on the 2020 election. The stuff that come up that's pouring out now like Georgia and other states to show the public that, yes, the election was stolen. And this is how important the Save America act is. He's got to use this, Steve, to leverage that. It's so important, 80% of our country, including Democrats, want to want to voter ID with these illegals. And then when you talk about the economy working my pillow, I'll tell you guys, I'm going to get the special in because he's been bringing shipping prices down.
