What is the significance of President Trump's State of the Union address?

Steve Bannon 0:02

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 try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.

Stephen K. Bannon 0:24

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.

Steve Bannon 0:34

Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

Stephen K. Bannon 0:44

War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bann.

Steve Bannon 0:53

It is Wednesday, 25 February in the year of our Lord, 2026. Last night was a historic moment. That was not a speech. It was much more than a speech. The totality of it. It's the only President Trump and his team can do. The totality of it. And it gets back to there's no persuadables in this country. The sides are lined up. It's how you turn them out. And last night, he reinforced that this is a base election. We're down here in Texas. We can see what the Democrats are doing. They get the joke on their side. And last night, the president could not have put a bigger contrast and highlight You're either for this country, you're for this republic, you're for what's been bequeathed to us that like every generation, we're supposed to make it as better than it was and do as much work to pass it down to future generations.

That's the superpower of the United States is a group of working class and middle class people that in its founding were kicked out, as Bill Murray said in that movie, kicked out every decent country in Europe. and came here and had a shot with a little guy, never had a shot, and created the greatest superpower that created more wealth, freed more people, fought more wars for other folks. Never in history has this ever happened. That's the genius of this country, what the Greeks called the genius. And last night, the two sides, and he called them out. He set a trap and called them out in front of the nation and the world, and they sat there. the big dumb smiles in their face. You see Ro Khanna? Dude, you just got blown up.

Steve Bannon 2:40

Mark Kelly, blown up. They knew they were getting blown up. Of course, and Omar ought to be deported this morning, denaturalized and deported, or put in prison, denaturalized, put in prison, and then deported later. But she was a great prop last night, yelling and screaming, her and Taib. That optics is amazing. Dr. Navarro, on the nuts and bolts of it, on tariffs, on the economic policies, I know you work daily to assist the president in your assessment last night of not just the work that went into it, but how you think it came across, sir.

Peter Navarro 3:18

Steve, to use one of your terms, a master class, what concerns me is how, since 2016, the Democrats... have debased our institutions in this country. The idea that they would walk into that chamber, sit on their hands or misbehave and get thrown out in the face of what has been a miraculous turnaround in our economy and our national security, I think should stun everyone. And here's what we're in a race to November, Steve, between expectations and reality. And I want to give you a little example from yesterday when consumer confidence came out. What does that have to do with the State of the Union? Simply this. The key number in consumer confidence yesterday was the expectation of people that inflation is going to run at about four and a half percent.

Peter Navarro 4:24

Now, think about that. We're in a world where inflation, the inflation rate is dramatically downshifting and we're down close to a 2% target. So what that suggests is a wide gap between expectations and reality. And it's that gap that the Democrats are precisely going to try to exploit going into November. They're going to sit on their hands and stonewall and then call us murderers when the reality is a far cry from that expectation. But people, it's almost like people during the Biden years had PTSD because they got so beaten down by everything that was thrown at them, whether it was the inflation surge, whether it was losing their jobs or getting murdered by illegal aliens.
