  CHAPTER ONE

  TRUMP’S WAR AGAINST THE ENEMIES WITHIN

  I am not a guru. I am not a leader. I am a broadcaster and a writer who can think. In that sense, what you see is what you get: a man of the people, who helped lead this revolution that gave us Donald Trump. In that sense, I am much like the thinkers and writers who helped lead the revolution 241 years ago. That first American Revolution was as much a revolution of ideas as political institutions, just like ours today. And it wasn’t led by peasants, like the disastrous French Revolution which immediately followed it. It was led by men of ideas.

  THE SHOT HEARD ROUND THE WORLD

  When British subjects fired on British troops at Lexington and Concord, they called it the shot heard round the world. That’s because it didn’t just send a message to King George III. It sent a message to tyrants and the smug intelligentsia all over the world: the workingman, the oppressed citizenry, had had enough.

  Donald Trump’s startling victory last November was another shot heard round the world. Obama and Clinton had been confident in their ivory tower—if power-mad pols can even have ivory towers. But I saw the revolution coming. I saw it before President Trump did. The people—I call them “the Eddies and the Ediths,” the common men and women—were quietly restless. They called me on The Savage Nation to express their concerns and discontent. Whenever then-candidate Donald Trump came on the show, I told him: listen to the people and you can’t go wrong. He had already used my philosophy of “borders, language, culture” to build his own electoral base. He heeded the advice I gave him and now he is president of the United States. In fact, many people have told me that President Trump’s entire campaign sounded like he was reading my books off a teleprompter.

  So, we fired a shot but we also dodged a bullet, friends. Not a bullet from the guns Hillary Clinton would have taken from us, but a national disaster, one that went far beyond the tragedy of four more years of the progressive Obama agenda. You see, the Boston Tea Party was all about a crooked trade deal. The colonists were being taxed without representation so they let the king, Parliament, and the complicit East India Tea Company know that they weren’t going to stand for it.

  Did you ever wonder why “free trade” agreements like North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) are thousands of pages long? It’s because they’re not about free trade. They’re about granting privileges to government-connected special interests, just like the king granted them to his corporations. But the corruption goes far beyond cronyism. For all Americans who lost their manufacturing jobs because of these deals, Hillary Clinton offered to put them on welfare. She and the Establishment wanted to make them dependent, wanted to make them perpetual Democrat voters—something that exceeded the ambition of even the autocrats in eighteenth-century London.

  The upshot of that would have been something straight out of Orwell, with an anesthetized populace controlled by an elite ruling class. And the progressives had the nerve to call Republicans trickle-down fascists? The bullet we dodged was a permanent move to European-style socialism and the destruction of our once-robust natio
nal character.

  So, the leftward march has been halted for now, and none too soon. When the Supreme Court told Americans of every state it was overturning their laws concerning gay marriage, it was no different than the English Parliament telling Massachusetts its local legislature could no longer make its own laws. From then on, Washington was going to decide how marriage is governed in all fifty states. It’s not a matter of whether gay marriage itself is right or wrong. It’s a matter of who decides.

  Prior to the Court’s unprecedented overreach, states were deciding the matter on their own, which was as it should be. The Civil War wasn’t only about slavery, it was about this core concept of the American ideal: states’ rights. Choice. Why should a woman get to “choose” what to do with her body while a state cannot decide what to do with its own body politic?

  Some states made gay marriage legal; others prohibited it. That was done by democratic vote according to long-standing local values. Yet for all their talk about “diversity,” liberals would brook no diversity on this matter. Anyone who had reservations was branded a bigot or a rube whose views were to be ignored as an impediment to “progress.” Unless, of course, you were a Muslim, in which case Imam Obama would look the other way. He and his fellow progs also averted their watery eyes when gays and women were abused by “friendly” nations like Saudi Arabia. This was by no means the first or the last time Obama’s Washington had forced its will upon average Americans. They did the same thing when they passed Obamacare without a single Republican vote. Obama did it himself when he wrote executive orders to nullify immigration laws, regulate the coal industry out of business, and force public schools to allow confused boys to use the girls’ restroom and vice versa.

  For eight long years, the people suffered this long train of abuses, along with the insults and accusations of racism and bigotry whenever they objected. Until last November, when all of us pushed back.

  The war for independence wasn’t won at Lexington and Concord in 1775. That was only the beginning. The colonists would have to fight the mightiest empire in the world for eight long years before their independence was finally secured.

  Trump and the patriots who elected him are going to have to fight their own eight-year war as well. The question is, what will that war look like? How is Donald Trump going to make good on all his campaign promises?

  To begin with, he has already made good on some essentials. The First Amendment will be safe under Trump. No matter what else he does or doesn’t do, Donald Trump is never going to attack talk radio, as Hatchet Hillary promised to do. I can guarantee you there will be no return to the “Fairness Doctrine,” which was abolished in 1987. That bit of idiocy was enacted by the Federal Communications Commission, which sought to guarantee a diversity of viewpoints.

  Neither is a Trump administration going to touch your guns. By appointing the next three judges to the Supreme Court, Trump may very well save the Second Amendment for the next forty years.

  Perhaps most important, we’re not going to be at war with Russia. As I said in my last book, Scorched Earth, it’s “life under Trump, death under Clinton.” President Trump is going to repair our relationship with Russia in a way Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama’s community destroyers like Secretary of Misstate John Kerry could never achieve. Trump decided to speak with Russian president Vladimir Putin before he even took office. Why? Because on October 17, 2016, less than a month before Election Day, Trump appeared on my show and I got that commitment from him.

  The liberal media went insane. They all wanted war with Russia. It would have sold newspapers. It would have been good for defense contractors, who are all in bed with the politicians and media in the swamp. But it wouldn’t have been good for America.

  So, there is much to be thankful for. But now that Donald Trump has won the election, it’s our job to make sure he does what we sent him to Washington to do: drain the swamp.

  It’s not going to be easy. There are armies of special interests on the right and on the left who stand to lose trillions as the forty-fifth president rolls up his sleeves. It’s time for all of us to prepare for Trump’s War.

  I decided to write this book as a battle plan. I was curious myself about how President Trump could make good on his promises, not just because they were big and unprecedented, but because he would face opposition to so many of them.

  The “big and unprecedented” part doesn’t worry me. Americans are at their best tackling the previously impossible, whether it is throwing off a tyrant or going to the moon. I am more concerned with the steps, the map, the how-to. Not just for the president, but for all of us. Though I will say this about Donald Trump. His biggest fight will not be keeping his promises but avoiding the pitfall of almost every public servant from small-town first selectman to commander in chief: temptation. The temptation to be assimilated into the Washington morass is powerful. Surrounded by “yes” men and women who will say anything you want to hear, possessing more power than any human being in history, you become convinced of your own—dare I say it?—your own divinity.

  That’s right. Obama succumbed. So did the Clintons. They didn’t learn from the history they were supposedly taught in school. Maybe Barry Obama was busy doing “a little blow” during those classes, as he once admitted. In Imperial Rome, generals riding through the city in a triumphant celebration were accompanied by an auriga, a slave, who repeatedly whispered in their ear, “Memento homo.”

  “Remember, you are only a man.”

  THE ENEMIES WITHIN

  No it’s not going to be easy. There are armies of special interests on the right and the left that have trillions to lose if we succeed in restoring this nation. They’re going to fight hard to hold on to their ill-gotten gains, just as the British tried to hold on to their colonies. The celebration ends today. It’s time to prepare for Trump’s War.

  Only we won’t be fighting on battlefields with rifles. We will be fighting an entrenched Establishment whose weapons of mass destruction are far more devious than those of King George III. Instead of cannons and muskets, the Establishment uses a corrupt media and an insidious network of violent agitators to wage a psychological war, instead of a military one. Instead of shelling your town, they seek to imprison your mind with political correctness, envy politics, and intimidation.

  The riots started before Trump even took office. Just days after his election, the George Soros–funded network of brownshirts took to the streets to block traffic,1 loot businesses,2 and assault anyone suspected of having voted for Trump.3 It was just a continuation of the street violence that has proliferated under Emperor Barry’s anti-police, anti-American regime.

  You may not realize how bad it was, because the lying media didn’t call any of this rioting. No, these brownshirt street thugs were “protesters.”4 They were “exercising their First Amendment rights.” Can you believe that? For weeks after the third presidential debate, all we heard from the News Klux Klan (NKK) was the potential for violence from Trump supporters if he didn’t accept the results of the election. Now, when Hatchet Hillary’s supporters actually commit violence in the streets, they’re called protesters instead of rioters. It’s like something out of Orwell.

  Let’s not forget these aren’t spontaneous, grassroots uprisings by honestly concerned liberals. These are organized, criminal mobs, funded by George Soros5 to wreak chaos on American cities. NKK conspirator USA Today tried to discredit claims the protests were organized professionally, but WikiLeaks showed it were lying.6 They named three different people who were supposedly just “concerned citizens from all walks of life.” But they were all people John Podesta identified as professional activists and Democratic Party operatives in his leaked e-mails.

  Violence is an integral part of the left-wing worldview. As I’ve said for decades, including in many of my books, their only vision is “Burn it down, baby.” They haven’t changed since the French Revolution in 1789, a bloody reign of terror that lasted a decade.

 
But Trump isn’t just fighting the Jacobin left. He’s also fighting the Establishment in his own party, which in many ways is even more dangerous than the Democrats. We know what we’re up against with the Democrats. They’re honest about their hatred of American culture and their desire to “transform” America from a free country of capitalism, individual liberty, and Western values to a totalitarian state of socialism, collectivism, and multicultural chaos.

  Republicans claim to oppose all of this, but what have they actually done? Did George W. Bush make any effort to secure our borders? No. Did he stand up for free markets? No. When corporate thieves ripped off investors with fraudulent accounting early in his presidency, Bush responded with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, saying it was “the most far-reaching reforms of American business practices since the time of Franklin Delano Roosevelt.”7

  When the Federal Reserve blew up the housing bubble, exacerbated by the Community Reinvestment Act, did Bush put the blame where it belonged? No. He said, “Wall Street got drunk,”8 and then bailed out all his friends with TARP, instead of letting them go bankrupt and get taken over by the people who didn’t gamble on risky securities.

  What about all those young, true conservatives we elected in 2012? Do you remember them? I have a list of their names. Did the Republican leadership support them? No. They got stabbed in the back by Boehner and McConnell, who went along with the Democrats on virtually everything. Now their altar boy Rinso Priebus is chief of staff.

  Immediately following Trump’s acceptance speech, Mitch McConnell was in front of the media saying the Republican Senate was not going to support any of Trump’s First 100 Days Agenda, except for repealing Obamacare.9 Term limits for Congress? Forget it. The border wall? No. TPP? Too late. NATO? We like it just fine how it is.
