Chapter 1: What are the implications of Trump's meeting with Bibi?
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 on 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've tried 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? Mega 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.
Okay, just to put in perspective this issue of the government shutdown to make sure that you fully understand the information that's out there and understanding this audience, you're not crazy about the clean CR, right? We kind of stand against those. It would kick it down to November 21st, which is, you know, right before Thanksgiving. So clearly to get out of town, some tradeoffs occurred.
are gonna happen, you're not gonna love. We gotta be ready to fight for that. The alternative the Senate had, there's a massive omnibus that's kinda out there. Don't let anybody tell you not. They got a big ol' omnibus out there. And they're going to have a lot of crap in that omnibus as they always do. One is they're going to reinsert all the restrictions we put on for AI.
There's many other things we're going to put in there too that you're going to hate. So that's the specter that's hanging out there. So anytime you see these people come on TV and start yammering on about it, understand that there's already deals been cut behind the scenes. That being said...
What President Trump's not prepared to do, I just want to read the great Jake Sherman just posted this on social media. It was a Caroline Leavitt hit on Fox earlier this morning where Caroline said, and I'm quoting her, President Trump and Republicans are committed to keeping the government open.
There are no good reasons for the Democrats to shut down the federal government and hurt the American people. Democrats need to stop playing political games and do their jobs. And Jake Sherman puts on top of that, with all the caveats that no one speaks for Trump besides Trump, this doesn't seem like a White House ready to negotiate.
I don't think they're already negotiating because there's nothing to negotiate. Schumer's on all weekend, hey, we have to have a meeting, and he has to negotiate. All he says is, no, you don't have to negotiate. Nancy Pelosi and you guys didn't negotiate. Remember, they forced the government shutdown in 2018 after they won the House, right?

Chapter 2: How does the government shutdown affect Trump's agenda?
And some of this is normal. And they've had some planning calls apparently about this this week. And there's some politics in here, some finger pointing that the administration is doing at Democrats in particular, saying that they are inching closer to a shutdown over a series of insane demands, including a trillion dollars in new spending. But this note goes farther.
And what it suggests is that the agencies could use this moment to do mass layoffs. It says, agencies are directed to use this opportunity to consider reduction in force.
And as you know, Jeff, this administration, I should say, has really relied on these RIF notices, these reduction in force mechanisms to really slim down the federal government in the last seven or so months of the Trump administration.
This is why I go back to the New York Times article. The New York Times article says, And for longer-term viewers of the show, you remember right after we won in November when we were doing the organization of the government. And Russ hadn't been picked yet, but as soon as he kind of got picked, I said, hey. And they were kicking around this idea of Elon coming in with Doge.
I said, there has to be a merger of the Doge operation with OMB. Because Russ has been doing this now for a long time. He knows every nook and cranny. He knows programmatically. He knows every program. Here's the reason why, just the way the government works.
When you have an appropriations bill that gets negotiated in Congress, in both the House and in the Senate, and it gets passed and the president signs it, it becomes a law, okay? Then it has to be executed. Remember, this is one of the things that President Trump now is in the ā doesn't give two Fs mode of the presidency. He's been tapped along by enough people.
He understands if you sign an executive order or if you sign the appropriations, you still have to force it through the bureaucracy to make sure it's done. Now, the appropriations, that's why it's such an important committee. That's a law, and really the whole city revolves around the appropriations.
This is why we fought when Matt Gaetz and the War Room and others led the effort to remove McCarthy about the debt ceiling deal. It was also to get back to single-subject appropriations bill because that's where you can see where the money really gets spent, where the deals are really cut, and you want to get it out of the smoke-filled rooms and get it up to the front.
So Russ knows everything about it. We said at the time, you've got to merge these processes because eventually it's going to come to an appropriations bill, and if you want to cut spending, that's where you have to cut it. Plus... It is the process to expose. We know that Democrats are insane. They're insane when it comes to fiscal reality.

Chapter 3: What strategies are being discussed for reducing federal spending?
Right. You certainly need the cabinet departments, at least some of them. I mean, education, others you can get out of and start to radically downsize the government. So it gets out of every aspect of your life. Russ votes the guy that do it. Now, the Democrats have walked into a trap. While Sherman, these guys have been saying, no, we got to keep this spending and that spending.
Trump's just going, you're not listening to me. Government runs out at midnight, and I've agreed to a CR for a short period of time, essentially two months, right? About 60 days, even less than 60 days, 50-some days, in order to try to pull it together one more time. But I'm not going to add to this additional spending. It's not going to happen. And Schumer goes, well, you have to negotiate.
No, the American people, listen, the Democrats are shutting down the government, and what Russ and the team over at OMB... where I'm so proud of, have literally got a plan, and they sent the memo around and said, hey, we're going to have reductions in force, mass reductions in force. When they leaked that last week, the Democratic Party goes, what? What did he say? Hey, he do what?
This is not Elon running around with a chainsaw with Millay, who, by the way, we're tossing a $20 billion currency lifeline to. Not that Steve Bannon ever said the libertarian policies won't solve your economy, but I did say the libertarian policy is not going to solve the problem with your economy. It's not going to be some theatric chainsaw.
It's going to be the Russ votes the world going through program by program. Here's why. Once the appropriations bill is signed by the president, it then gets put over to OMB. And they monitor the entire thing as it goes out to the various departments and the alphabet agencies to actually be executed. And this thing is massive.
But you can call over to OMB and say, Russ, I got a question on some obscure agriculture program. and he says, give me 20 minutes. And I said, you don't need to come, send your guy. Because OMB is vast. I think it's 600 to 700, 800 people. They follow every day programmatically, programmatically how the money actually gets spent and kind of what the results are, how we're doing.
Not a total independent analysis, but kind of where it stands in the program on an annual basis, daily. So there's no better person than Russ Vogt and the team at OMB. If you remember, if you're old enough to remember the Reagan administration, OMB wasn't even something people understood. A young guy named David Stockman was put in the job, and he became the rock star of the ā
of the early years of President Reagan's administration because it was the first time a guy had answers for everything because OMB is the center. As I say, the two most powerful jobs ex the president, I think in D.C., as I said, is chief of staff, which kind of coordinates everything, and director of OMB, which really takes where the money is. And Russ Vogt has a plan for mass ā
Mass layoffs are what they call reduction in force and not kind of an Elon Musk where you bounce in one moment and bounce out another and these people are let go and you get air traffic controls. This is systematic. And the New York Times says it opens with an incident between the Doge guys and Russ Vogt. And Russ Vogt is always the go-to guy because he's a safe pair of hands. He's steady-eddy.

Chapter 4: What is the significance of the 21-point plan for Israel?
Russ is the guy that has come up with the strategy for President Trump or the tactics for President Trump's strategy of reducing spending of rescissions, pocket rescissions, and impoundments. The article set up, and it's very interesting, if you take Mike Davis on one hand,
and Russ Fodor and the other, who are war room regulars for years, it talks about pushing the envelope of the Article II powers of the presidency. And you're 100%, you throw Stephen Miller in there, kind of the trifecta. You have three individuals who,
obviously the viceroy outside the government, but a very close advisor to many, many people, three individuals who are focused on the, on the article two powers of the presidency, whether that is ability to cut spending or to fire people, to terminate people, which Russ is very focused on are kind of Stephen Miller's.
What is the, uh, with the alien sedition act and the other emergency powers on, um, on spending, or excuse me, emergency powers on the Alien Sedition Act and also what's happening with the police operations and the armed operations going to Chicago and others, right? President Trump is the commander-in-chief.
And then you get Mike Davis, and what Mike Davis says is the president's third leg of the stool of his powers. Chief law enforcement officer and chief magistrate. That trifecta is pushing the edge of the envelope For the Article II powers, the inherent powers of the executive, as envisioned by the framers of the Constitution.
And so far, as we saw with the ruling of the Supreme Court on foreign aid money, they've backed him up. That's what this fight's about. And it's coming to a climax in the next 24, 48 hours, at least part of it. More on the other side. This July, there is a global summit of BRICS nations in Rio de Janeiro.
The bloc of emerging superpowers, including China, Russia, India and Persia, are meeting with the goal of displacing the United States dollar as the global currency. They're calling this the Rio Reset. As BRICS nations push forward with their plans, global demand for U.S. dollars will decrease, bringing down the value of the dollar in your savings.
While this transition won't not happen overnight, but trust me, it's going to start in Rio. The Rio Reset in July marks a pivotal moment when BRICS objectives move decisively from a theoretical possibility towards an inevitable reality. Learn if diversifying your savings into gold is right for you.

Chapter 5: How does Trump's stance on the West Bank impact U.S.-Israel relations?
Sign up for free and be part of the new thing.
Okay, we're looking at a gate right there. There's something odd going on, and I can't get a straight answer. There's no color guard. There's no color guard. Netanyahu is coming through the working side of the West Wing, the one we show you all the time. If you remember when NATO came ā excuse me, I shouldn't say NATO.
When the European heads came for the Zelensky meeting back on that Monday over, what, a month ago ā the protocol ambassador, our own Monica Crowley, would come forward and meet them as they came up to the south entrance to the White House. I don't believe Netanyahu's coming to this. No, there's the camera right there.
So the camera's set up in a, right there, traditionally you've seen this a million times. If we can go and put that shot up, not the gate itself, the West Wing, can you put that up? There we go. Thank you, Denver. Denver, you give me an inch, I'll take a mile here. I'll direct you. So right there, that's the tradition. And I guess this is it right now. Is this Netanyahu? There's no color guard.
I've never seen. There is a Marine that's always outside. And there's the President of the United States outside. And I'll ask Brian, but I've never seen this without the colors in a color guard. So we have to get an answer for that. It's 11-15, 11-20. This will start, as we said, I think it's the fourth or fifth time. And the 21-point plan, is everyone on board?
So you saw the media shouting questions right there from essentially Pebble Beach, or it's kind of across from Pebble Beach. That's the area down where Real America's Voice and others are present, just greeted. Netanyahu took him into, that's a small reception area. You could walk right in through the, normally the Roosevelt room and then go right into the, to the oval.
Now the president is supposed to have a closed session by lat, but as the president normally does, he normally lets the press in. I think they're going to have a conversation. I'm not saying a conversation is going to get heated, but there's a wide gap between, between the bid and the ask here.
But I got to ask, get Brian Glenn, I'm asking my crack staff, I got to get an answer on that color guard. I've seen, and we've shown you dozens of those, but I don't ever remember a head of state arriving without, not the two Marines out front, they're on kind of permanent guard there, but no color guard, no flags of the nations, and flags of the states, pretty extraordinary.
Look, there's definitely tension. You heard the question right there, the 21-point plan. Now, where do we stand? This issue of the Greater Israel Project, and that is a direct confrontation with the Persians, with Iran for regime change there, some sort of...

Chapter 6: What are the potential consequences of a two-state solution?
I've always been one state. But the 21-point plan and what President Trump met with Arab leaders at the United Nations in the side meetings, this 21-point plan, the Gaza redevelopment, is not the ā at least the way I read it, is not taking out militarily the Hamas fighters, the Muslim Brotherhood, you know, Hamas, local...
franchisees, as we said should have happened and should have happened in the first six months. Our issue with Netanyahu, he puts his own personal political situation ahead of what's best for Israel, and particularly, they're not really an ally of the United States. They continue to drag us into this.
Now, the 21-point plan, what they just asked about there, and President Trump says it's very close to a deal. Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I read it, that's setting up for a two-state solution. That's setting up the underpinnings of some sort of Arab involvement in the management under at least some interim basis. Tony Blair, who's on the Arab payroll.
Tony Blair's taking big money out of Qatar. I think he's also on the payroll of UAE. He's not shy about it. I think he's upfront about it. And I mean a lot of money. I think Qatar was paying him $20 million a year or something. I don't know the specific number, but it was a big number. as Qatar spread their influence.
And look, I am the most adamant anti-Qatar individual around, and I don't like the way we're rubbing up on them. But they've spent their money very, very smartly, both in Western Europe, particularly the United Kingdom, and the United States. And they have a role in all this. But the 21-point plan, so first off, Gaza, I don't know, looks like there's some sort of foundational element
for a two-state solution, the way this whole wind down the war, let's get the redevelopment going. Now, I think it would be a horrible idea for any American resources or any American involvement or particularly any American peacekeepers. That would be, that is like verboten, no go zone. So that whole thing though, but that has stopped Netanyahu's main thing to clear at Gaza. Number two,
Tel Aviv Levin today is putting up Mike Johnson saying, well, the West Bank is Israel, is a part of Israel. President Trump came out. He couldn't have been more adamant. He said it three or four times. We've got the clips. I was going to play them as a package, but it looks like this meeting is going to start. I want to make sure we're on top of it.
President Trump came out adamantly after meeting with the Arab nations and said, no, there's not going to be any Israeli takeover, no takeover of the West Bank. None. Three times. Boom, boom, boom. Couldn't be more adamant. And, of course, all the Trump supporters in the Israel First crowd, which are none, immediately put up Johnson's thing.
But Johnson's saying that it's actually Israel property. Hey, the commander-in-chief just said it ain't happening. So do you support him? You're supposed to be so uber-maga, Levin, and you crowd that hated him for years, trash-talked him for years, worked against him for years, and pushed your buddy, Ted Cruz, who admitted on Tucker Carlson that the reason he got into politics was to save Israel.

Chapter 7: How does the discussion of Iran's nuclear capabilities unfold?
And he got the Arabs to sign on to it. The guys are going to write some checks. And you heard the first question the media asked. And the second was his adamant, the West Bank, we're not doing. Not going to do the West Bank. That's Trump. That's Trump. And I think there's an argument as a Christian, right, about the sites there and is it proper to have those.
And I'm not a big fan of having Muslims control Christian sites. So that's it. But President Trump's adamant, boom, not happening. You see, hey, he wants to bring peace to this thing and get it off his plate. Most importantly, though, most importantly, What was I ranting and raving about when all of a sudden Steve Bannon goes, oh, from a big supporter of Israel to now I'm an anti-Semite?
What is that? It was about the Persian War, the 12-day war. And remember, I said, what doesn't make sense here is you have Tulsi Gabbard saying one thing and John Ratcliffe, who basically has a huge relationship with the Mossad, saying something diametrically opposed. And that was, we had to go now. It was so urgent.
You had to go urgent, urgent, urgent, urgent, because they're hours away, days away, weeks away from a nuclear weapon. Remember that? Back on that Thursday night when they went and the surprise attack, and next day, Friday morning, the show, I started the show saying this was a decapitation move. This was not nuclear weapons. This was decapitation. They killed the negotiators.
They tried to decap the Persian, the Iranian army. They even went after some of the secular leaders. And don't get me wrong. A lot of those folks deserve killing, okay? I'm very anti-Moulis, okay? but there's a way you do things to make sure we don't get sucked into another war. I said at the time it was a bald-faced lie, and I banged on the table over and over and over again.
It's a bald-faced lie. And then on Sunday, that Sunday, they bombed Thursday night, Friday morning our time. On Sunday night, he goes on Bret Baier, and Bret Baier says, yo, what was the urgency about? And Netanyahu starts stumbling, and oh, it's urgent. He says, they were six months, they were a year away. And I came back on the show on Monday and go, this is the urgency?
A year away, we had to go and suck us into a regime change war? Because they want regime change. They're using that as a method to get us in here. Well, the Times of Israel, which is the New York Times of Israel, comes out with a definitive report on the discussions of the war cabinets. And what is the discussion of the war cabinet come out? It was two years away. Not two weeks, two years away.
Let me repeat that for the Israel First crowd. You backed up all of his lies and I haven't heard a peep out of you since the Times of Israel came out with this report about from the minutes of the war cabinet. Two years away. And now they're questioning, Netanyahu's questioning, oh, did we get all the nuclear weapons?

Chapter 8: What are the final thoughts on Trump's foreign policy approach?
President Trump said total and complete obliteration. Take your number two pencil out, Netanyahu, and write that down. Next in the War Room.

...allow Iran to rebuild its military nuclear capacities. Iran's stockpiles of enriched uranium, these stockpiles must be eliminated. So are you saying, sir, that not all of the enriched uranium was destroyed during the 12-day war or by those strikes from B-2 bombers? Sure. No, we knew that in advance.
In fact, our whole plan before and after the United States decided to join us took into account that we wouldn't get these 450 kilograms of enriched uranium. We knew that. What we were targeting is the capacity to make more of those. of that enriched uranium, and also the attempt to weaponize it. There's the enriched core of uranium, but you have to put a weapon around it.
These balls that you see in all these movies, that's the weapon around it, and then you have the missiles to carry that weapon. That's what we struck at, and we struck hard.
I mean, look, you know, my position is the same as yours, Tony, and so many who have studied the history of Israel and followed this and support our ally there so strongly. I mean, I believe Judea and Samaria are the traditional lands that belong to Israel. But there's a lot of geopolitical forces at play here. I think there's a lot more to be settled out, and we'll have to see how it develops.
Christian, influencers? Okay. He said, he talked about the woke right. He said, I call it the woke Reich. That's a brilliant observation. The woke Reich, because these people, you know, they're not any different from the woke left. I mean, they're insane. They're amazing. But they're actually meeting on some of the things.
