Well the virus has now killed more than a hundred people in China and new cases have been confirmed around the world.
You don't want to frighten the American public.
France and South Korea have also got evacuation plans.
But you need to prepare for and assume.
Broadly warning Americans to avoid all non-essential travel to China.
That this is going to be a real serious problem.
France, Australia, Canada, the US, Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam, the list goes on.
Health officials are investigating more than a hundred possible cases in the US.
Germany, a man has contracted the virus.
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide.
Japan, where a bus driver contracted the virus.
Coronavirus has killed more than 100 people there and infected more than 4,500.
anthony fauci
We have to prepare for the worst, always, because if you don't and the worst happens, War Room Pandemic.
unidentified
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
Okay, welcome to the Afternoon Edition.
It's Wednesday, the 19th of May, Year of Our Lord 2021.
I'm honored to have Commander Eric Greitens joins us again, back from being in Missouri, the great state of Missouri, out there.
unidentified
It's good to be back, man!
It's good to be back in the War Room!
Yes!
steve bannon
Good to be here, but man, I know you love it out there.
unidentified
I do, I do.
steve bannon
Out with the people.
Okay, we're going to bring in We've got so much to go through, we're not going to have time for cold opens, although we are trying to track down some archival footage of the great press conference today by Vernon Jones down in Georgia.
We've got a lot to do, Arizona, Georgia.
But we've got to start with the American economy, and here's the reason for everybody in the podcast and radio that can't see us.
The Financial Times today, a blockbuster story.
Larry Summers accuses, accuses the Fed of misreading U.S.
economy.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is going to have a massive impact in your life, your kids' life right now.
We are on a precipice and we're driving off this.
According to Larry Summers, now let's put it in perspective, Summers is the neoliberal Secretary of Treasury under Obama, I think, and I think NEC under Clinton.
But this guy's the biggest hitter in the neoliberal game.
I want to bring in Dr. Peter Navarro that has warned about this for weeks and weeks and weeks.
Finally, Summers catches up.
Finally, the Financial Times catches up.
So we're going to bring... Eric Greitens is actually a runner for the Senate at Missouri.
We're going to ask him what he would do as a senator.
I want to bring in Dr. Peter Navarro.
Dr. Navarro, I don't think you were at Harvard when Larry Summers was president in his tenure, his controversial tenure that ended about... I think about women being scientists and, you know, about having mathematical and analytical ability.
I know my mother had analytical and mathematical ability, or so she told me.
So, I took umbrage with that when he said it.
But what is this about Summers?
Why is the FT?
And by the way, accuses Fed.
He still misses the point of Dr. Navar.
peter navarro
So, dumbest smart guy I ever met.
That would be Larry Summers.
A little context here.
He thinks he's like the second coming of John Maynard Keynes.
He was the guy who was the architect during the Obama administration for all the Keynesian and monetary stimulus that led to a doubling from $10 trillion of debt when Obama took office to $20 trillion.
I mean, just parse that for a minute.
Summers was the architect of that.
So my view is that Summers should never darken the door.
steve bannon
But hang on one second.
Also, to go to zero interest rates, it also was the explosion in assets.
Their solution was to explode the balance sheet of the Fed to go from $880 billion to $4.5 billion.
peter navarro
Don't steal my thunder, Bannon.
Don't steal my thunder.
steve bannon
Okay, go ahead.
Go ahead.
I'll go back to the doctor.
unidentified
Okay, go ahead.
steve bannon
Go ahead.
I'm saying the greatest concentration of wealth in history, but go ahead.
peter navarro
The punchline here is that what Larry Summers never understood, dumbest smart guy I ever met, was that what we really needed was the kind of structural adjustments that Donald Trump brought in.
Now, fast forward to now, right?
First of all, he's acting pissy because Joey ain't bringing Larry into the Oval and asking Larry For his advice, right?
So he's, like, from the outside throwing darts.
But here's the problem, Steve.
steve bannon
Mean girls, mean girls, mean economists.
peter navarro
He shouldn't be throwing spears and darts at the Federal Reserve, right?
The solution here, the last solution, Steve, is to raise interest rates, okay?
That's friggin' dumb.
The first best solution, as we say at Harvard, First of all, you've got to stop Joe Biden from his trillions and trillions of dollars of money he wants to spend under the guise of infrastructure so as to redistribute income.
That's the first way to stop inflation.
To stop inflation is to put an end to paying people more to stay home than going to work, because that's really, really, really screwing up our labor markets.
The third thing to do is get everywhere open, including this friggin' city here.
Washington, D.C.
is a disgrace.
It is the most locked down place left in the rest of the country.
It's a friggin' ghost town.
So, Larry Summers, dumbest smart guy I ever met, You're basically barking up the wrong fed tree.
Those people don't know what they're doing, grant you that.
Jay Powell ain't playing with a full deck.
steve bannon
I'm going to push back, I'm going to push back.
peter navarro
Go baby, come on baby, I'm ready.
steve bannon
For the first time, and don't take this the wrong way because you're a colleague and a dear friend and I know I'm your mentor, but hang on, hang on, hang on.
I'm going to give you a little of the NBA, the across the river.
The heart of the matter is he's saying that Powell has announced he's keeping interest rates negative through the election.
peter navarro
He's not wrong there, Steve.
He's not wrong there.
My point is that if you're going to solve this problem, the Fed's the last place you start.
Okay, the first place you start is what's behind my left shoulder up on Capitol Hill, where they're doing all these multi-trillion dollar bills under the guise of infrastructure that are nothing but thinly veiled attempts to redistribute income and restructure our economy, kind of put it in reverse of the Trump plan.
steve bannon
Hold it, hold it.
Hang on, hang on.
peter navarro
Energy dominance was our bag.
steve bannon
Go ahead.
Last time I looked, we got gas lines.
No, correct me if I'm wrong.
In the summer of 2020, you and Trump went forward and had a compromise policy.
Basically $1 trillion, I'm rounding up, $1 trillion for the drop in aggregate demand and $1 trillion in infrastructure.
So why has Joe Biden got a $2 trillion He just passed the $2 trillion aggregate demand thing in COVID-19.
He comes with $2 trillion, I realize.
But what is the problem?
You're sitting there saying we've got structural issues with the economy and we've got to have infrastructure.
That's what Biden's saying.
What's the difference, sir?
peter navarro
OK, so you had like $2 trillion, like the first trillion was just simply to maintain The programs we needed to help people who are out of work and things like that, we were going to get rid of that stupid part of the unemployment benefits that Mnuchin got suckered into by Pelosi to give people more money to stay home than go to work.
So that's sound policy.
The other trillion, the secret sauce of that, Steve, was pure banning action, action, action.
Was pure Donald Trump strengthened the manufacturing base because a lot of that money was designed to bring onshore, not just the production of our personal protective equipment and our vaccines and all that stuff, it was to actually bring everything else home.
Here's the thing, Steve.
The primary structural problem we're facing right now, make no mistake about this, the primary structural problem is Our cities are broken now, and they will be broken because the virus attacks the pillars of the city, the high-rise office buildings, the mass transit, and most of all the restaurants, entertainment, and sports districts that make major metropolitan areas go.
Those people who work there are now structural CCP virus refugees, right?
They've got nowhere to go.
And what we need to do, the structural solution here, Larry Summers, it's the same one that when you were head in the Obama administration, create manufacturing jobs.
That's the only way.
We've got to make more stuff here.
That's what's going to make everything go.
And Steve, that was the essence of that $2 trillion package that Mnuchin and Meadows brought up to the Hill and they couldn't close the deal on.
steve bannon
We're going to get to the crime issues about the cities later, about the Financial Times, big article today, big column to get Eric Greitens, who teed this conversation off about six weeks ago.
Four weeks ago he was here.
Write this down, Navar.
Urban decentralization.
That's what's happened now.
Urban decentralization.
I'm going to go to Eric Greitens real quick.
I need you to stick around, Navar.
Don't go anywhere.
You're going to get another lesson here.
peter navarro
Yes, sir, Admiral.
unidentified
You're going to my last name instead of Dr. Navar.
steve bannon
I don't mind being the admiral when I gotta be the teacher of the economics department.
I don't mind being the root, I don't mind being the admiral when I gotta be the teacher of the economics department.
Gritens, if you're in the United States Senate today and it's still 50-50, walk me through the Gritens plan of how do you get around.
Larry Summers is essentially saying that we're driving off, as Navarro said many times, we're driving off a precipice, a cliff with the pedal to the metal.
What would you do, sir?
eric greitens
Well, first of all, we need to make very clear what's at stake, and Dr. Navarro has been doing this.
He's been talking about it, but let's step back from 2020.
Let's step back and look at what we're doing to the nation, okay?
This plan is Of printing money and believing that there are no consequences, you look back historically, it is, oh, forever!
It doesn't work!
steve bannon
This time it's totally different.
eric greitens
Yeah, this time it's different!
But you look, you look at the Roman Empire, right?
And you look at the devaluation of the currency in Rome, the debasing of the currency, the spending on public spectacles and games and the grain supply.
You look at what happened there.
When Marco Polo showed up in China, he shows up and he's got these guys in the Ming Dynasty and they're like, oh, they've got this paper money.
And it looks to him like, wow, this is a great deal.
They just, people give him real stuff and they give him paper.
Look at this.
And what happened?
They devalued the currency.
And you actually had this with a number of different Chinese dynasties.
Inflation helped to lead to the end of the dynasty.
In England, you look at what Edward, Edward VIII, I think it was, right?
Again, in Spain, King Philip.
There is a history, and everybody knows in their bones, you destroy the currency.
This doesn't work.
steve bannon
Mass inflation.
eric greitens
This doesn't work.
And let's also think about, okay, I was just in Missouri.
You talk about workers now.
Okay, you've been working, you've been saving, you've been putting money away.
What's happening now?
When these guys on Capitol Hill print $2 trillion, $4 trillion, your savings is worth And then they give you the privilege of making you pay for it by taxing you after they've just made your savings less.
So the big thing we've got to do is get right.
Navarro's right.
This is a disastrous path for Biden.
steve bannon
Greitens brought up the I-word.
Dr. Navarro, you and Cortez have been beating the drum for the longest time, even from Biden's first day.
You're going to see inflation starting to kick in here, big league, the bond market revolt, the 10-year treasury is way out of sync with the short... The Fed can keep short-term interest rates at zero, but the market's going to determine what the 10-year treasury is.
What you're concerned... Is Grayton's right about inflation?
peter navarro
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but let me add a little granularity out of the classroom here.
What you've got is you've got two kinds of inflation going on, right?
You've got the demand pull inflation, which is when we're spending all these trillions and trillions and trillions of dollars, that's like pushing hard.
But the bigger, thornier problem is this structural inflation on the supply side.
Where you've got these service sector refugees fleeing our cities, not being able to get a job, so they're out of the labor market effectively.
And at the same time, you're paying people to stay home, so they're not in there.
So you've got supply side inflation coming, you've got demand side.
Of the two, the harder one is going to be that supply side.
But both of them, look, Congress tomorrow could fix a lot of this.
One, by doing nothing with these trillions of dollars of packages that they want to pass.
That would be one thing.
And the other is fix that unemployment thing.
That's going through September, Steve.
That's like criminal negligence.
That's like just destroying things and just going to make it really harder for us.
steve bannon
Isn't that going to allow wages to rise because they've got the companies to get people to come back?
You've seen these bonuses offered, isn't that good?
peter navarro
Look, the way you want wages to rise is Trump-like, which is to increase productivity.
And the way you increase productivity is by bringing home your capital investment and manufacturing and all that.
When you have wages increase because you keep people at home, And you have what's called structural unemployment because the service sector refugees don't have the skills to fill the jobs that are out there.
That's like a 70s scenario.
That's like nightmare stagflation.
That's where we're going.
Stagflation, Steve.
Stagflation.
eric greitens
Super quick note on this to make this even more granular.
Talking today to a guy in southeast Missouri who owns Burger Kings and hotels.
He was yanked out of church by his manager because they could not get anyone to show up.
Happened just this past Sunday.
It's happening across the country.
Everybody's talking.
steve bannon
Okay, the Financial Times reasons to worry about inflation.
They talk about monetary and fiscal policy wildly expansionary.
You're going to have inflation in your life, and you're going to have it quick.
And once it comes, it's so hard to wrench out of the system.
Think back to the 80s.
Okay, short commercial break.
We're going to talk about urban decentralization and crime.
What's it going to do to turn these cities around with Navarro and Gritens next in The War Room.
unidentified
War Room.
Pandemic with Stephen K. Banham.
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide.
War Room.
Pandemic.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
What happened in November of 2020 should have never been allowed to happen.
It will not happen again.
The confidence of Georgia voters and their inability of our state to successfully carry out a free, fair, and transparent election.
It deserves to be restored.
The integrity of our election is non-negotiable.
It is non-negotiable.
Zero room.
And that is why I'm here today to call for an immediate, fluorescent audit of the Georgia 2020 election.
steve bannon
That is Vernon Jones.
Vernon Jones is primary and Governor Kemp in the Republican primary in Georgia.
Vernon Jones is a Democrat.
That's because he's full MAGA, has changed parties, and he's looking to take on Stacey Abrams in the fall of 2022.
So this is going to be a heated one.
Today at a press conference and rally in Georgia, he called for an immediate, for the Georgia legislation to be called back by Kemp in an immediate resolution.
To order a full forensic audit with the full hand recount and hand audit of the ballots themselves, all the millions of ballots, plus a re-canvassing, plus to get into the machines.
As Dr. Peter Navarro says, it's the canvas, not the count.
I want to make sure, by the way, we had the armor-piercing show that is Mike Lindell on the show this morning.
He gave a special authorization.
Go to MyPillow.com right now.
Type in promo code War Room.
You get the pillows at $29.98.
I think it's a $40 discount.
Get them today.
That's not going to last forever.
Go to MyPillow.com right now.
Support the Freedom Fighters at the American Manufacturing Company.
That is MyPillow.
Mike Lindell, the armor-piercing shell.
Of course, the entire War Room apparatus.
Go there.
Type in War Room.
Promo code War Room.
Get the big discounts, particularly the one on pillows.
I want to go to him.
We'll get to Navarro in a second.
What's happening in Arizona that Rachel Maddow has a meltdown on every night on MSNBC.
Remember, she's the railhead of their thinking, right?
Commander Gritens, question, query.
Do you support getting to the bottom of November 3rd in Arizona, the way they're going through the forensic audit out there, sir?
eric greitens
Yes, and.
Yes, Arizona.
And Georgia.
And Michigan.
And Wisconsin.
And Pennsylvania.
It all has to be done.
And here's the thing.
steve bannon
Look, you're a Yale guy.
You're a Yale guy.
You're a Rhodes Scholar.
You're a Rhodes Scholar.
You went to Oxford.
You were the boxing champ over there, all this, before your Navy Seal.
I just don't understand.
All the Republican establishment are telling us that this is what people who breathe through their mouths do, that this is for the QAnon crowd, this is what Rachel Malas tells us, this is for the unwashed masses, the domestic terrorists of the Trump, the worst of the worst of the Trump movement.
I mean, as bad as they hate the Trump movement, this is like the dead enders, right?
So why is a guy that has all these degrees and all that Rhodes Scholar and all this, go to Oxford, all that, How can you support a full forensic audit, not just in Arizona, how can you support in Georgia and Pennsylvania and Michigan?
Walk me through the intellectual logic of that.
eric greitens
It's about math and it's about evidence.
So let's talk about just some of the evidence.
And again, Dr. Navarro has done some groundbreaking work on this.
Steve Cortez has.
Let's just take one piece.
All right, Steve Cortez has talked about bellwether counties.
All right, so let's remind everybody who's listening, we know bellwether counties, there are 19 counties in the United States of America that since 1980 have voted every presidential election for the president.
What does that mean?
An 80 for Reagan, an 84 for Reagan.
Pretty good track record.
steve bannon
Mathematically, pretty good.
eric greitens
So we talk about signals.
That means that those signals, those 19 counties, all of them have gotten every election right for 40 years.
What happened in the 2020 election?
steve bannon
19 counties.
eric greitens
19, yes sir.
steve bannon
For 40 years.
eric greitens
For 40 years.
steve bannon
Have always voted for the winner.
eric greitens
Correct, yes sir.
steve bannon
Pretty extraordinary.
eric greitens
It's an extraordinary thing.
steve bannon
And they're spread kind of throughout the country.
eric greitens
And they're spread throughout the country.
It's a signal with a lot of fidelity.
steve bannon
We would call that, that's brilliant.
Signal with a lot of fidelity.
That is a, this is an important thing to focus on, is it not sir?
eric greitens
Extraordinarily important.
steve bannon
This is what they teach you at Yale and at Oxford?
These are the types of things?
eric greitens
It was Duke and Oxford, but you know, that's alright.
We did our thing.
steve bannon
You feel like you're from Yale.
eric greitens
So, 18 of 19 counties went to Trump.
Now here's what's really- Hold it, stop, stop.
steve bannon
You're saying after 40 years, this is the Cortez thing, you're saying after 40 years, 18 of the 19 bellwethers- 18 of the 19 bellwethers- Go for Trump.
I would assume, looking at a science-based, evidence-based database, that Trump was the winner of said election.
eric greitens
Absolutely.
You'd assume it there.
Let's build on that case.
He won Florida and Ohio.
He won them handily.
Then, let's also look, President Trump won the largest share of the black vote in this country for a generation.
The liberals would have you believe, and the left would have you believe, and all the people who want to tell you no, don't look at the evidence, would have you believe, oh yes, he did that, and he did it in all of these cities, but magically, Not in Milwaukee.
Magically, not in Atlanta.
Magically, not in Philadelphia.
Interestingly, not in all of these Democrat-run cities which all have the same feature of having stopped the vote count in the middle of the night and then accounting for a whole There's a whole series of ballots, which again, the statistical evidence on this, Revolver News has had a number of good articles about this.
The suggestion that those ballots could have come in in that mix... As a Rhodes Scholar, you think you can stand on any stage?
Any stage.
steve bannon
With any of Rachel Maddow, her posse, any Democrat, and you could walk through and make the intellectual argument that this is flat out.
You've got to go back to November 3rd and get to the bottom of that.
eric greitens
No doubt.
All fact-based.
And I would let them say, the minute that I say one thing that's factually incorrect, they can cut off the mic.
Okay?
All facts.
The evidence is there.
And it has to be investigated.
steve bannon
And you're saying that, hey, you can't move forward until you've got to get to the bottom.
No looking forward.
But you've got to get to the bottom of November 3rd, state by state.
eric greitens
We have to get to the bottom of November 3rd, state by state.
Why?
Because as a country, as a republic, Our voters have to have confidence in our elections.
It is essential that we do it.
And the left, if they believe what they're saying, they should welcome that.
They should welcome a full and complete investigation.
And then at the end of that, they could say, look, all of you Trump folks, all of you America First folks, you're 100% wrong.
And I haven't even gotten into, Steve, the literally hundreds of affidavits from folks like Jesse Jacobs in Michigan.
steve bannon
David Clements from New Mexico State has aggregated those up and it's amazing.
Let me go to Navarro for a second, but I want to say something to you.
Nigel Farage, the great Nigel Farage, is on a U.S.
tour with Adam Brandon and the great team at FreedomWorks throughout the country, going all over.
eric greitens
He's crushing it.
steve bannon
Crushing it.
It's called the America Comeback Tour, I think it is.
We'll put the website up in the chat.
Nigel reports to me that the number one question he gets from conservatives and Republicans, even some that are not Trump fans, is How do you get people motivated again until they understand that the elections are fair and that these things can be counted?
The scar of November 3rd cuts deep.
Dr. Navarro, would you be prepared to stand on any stage putting your intellectual reputation, your PhD from Harvard, on the line to intellectually Back up, number by number, of your report and anything that was said.
In the moment that you put out a false statistic, your mic would be cut off.
peter navarro
I think we're in about day 50 of that challenge.
And the only thing that's happened, Steve, since I put out the receipts in the three Navarro reports at PeterNavarro.com is that they've taken that mic away.
This is like it's like the Harry Potter, Voldemort thing.
It's like the thing which you shall not speak.
And it's not just CNN and MSNBC.
It's some of those media that is supposed to be On the Trump side of the fence.
So, yeah, I mean, look, I want to reiterate a couple of things here.
Georgia is like the fountainhead, but really the cesspool of this whole problem.
There's 50 times the amount.
A potential illegal votes.
Parse that for a minute, Steve.
50 times the amount of illegal votes than the alleged victory margin for Biden in the cesspool state.
I'm hoping Vernon Jones puts in a bill there that changes that to the cesspool state from the peach state until this gets resolved.
And then if you go to Arizona, the other thing I think that's really important for people to understand is you get kind of like conflicting messages in the media on this.
There's no Republican Party.
In Arizona, there's two wings of a Republican Party.
There's the Trump wing, the deplorables wing, the true wing of the working class men and women of Arizona that are represented by the Republican Senate there trying to get to the bottom of what happened in Arizona.
And then, Steve, there's the McCain wing, the John McCain wing.
And the Board of Supervisors in Maricopa County, who are Republican, Are part of a McCain strange bedfellow coalition with the Democrats to deny Donald Trump an election for the pettiest of reasons.
And what I would say to these folks in Maricopa County, the Board of Supervisors, I mean, you gotta release those passwords, you gotta give access to the routers.
You can't have it both ways.
You can't say, there's no there there, and then deny the ability to get into where you need to be to find Oakland.
steve bannon
They're saying the company's in Copper, we'll get to that in a second, in Missouri.
Are people still worried about November 3rd?
eric greitens
I was just gonna say, Nigel's having that experience, so am I. First question.
Should I vote?
Should I get my friends to vote?
It is happening, and this is what the left wants.
The left wants patriots to decide that it's not worth it to participate.
The left wants people to go home and feel hopeless, and it's why everybody needs to stand up and fight.
It's why I'm running for the U.S.
Senate.
It's why people who are out there should support America First candidates.
It's why you got to get involved in your local party.
It's why you got to take over Your local party, your state party, we have got to fight.
The left wants us to quit.
We're not quitting.
steve bannon
Gritens, as he always does, gets to the heart of the matter.
That's the heart of the matter.
The left wants you to be depressed.
The left always wants it in the back of your mind that the election's rigged, right?
They're the anti-democratic votes.
That's what we've got to get.
Democracy hangs in the balance.
Short commercial break.
We'll return with Commander Eric Gritens and Dr. Peter Navarro in the War Room next.
unidentified
War Room.
Pandemic.
With Stephen K. Bannon.
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide.
War Room.
Pandemic.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
An audit would paint a clear roadmap of where we must go from here in terms of further reform to safeguard our election process.
Since day one, my campaign has made a commitment of integrity to this election.
While Brian Kemp sat on the sidelines in the 2020 election, refusing to call a special session to secure our elections, I was on the front line fighting for election integrity and fighting for Donald J. Trump.
steve bannon
Vernon Jones is on fire, and that's a throwdown.
I've got to inform Rachel Maddow, Chris Hayes, the whole crew of MSNBC, the evening shows, the full forensic audit, and as Dr. Peter Navarro says, the canvas, and it's the canvas not the count, and Georgia is going to be insane, that canvas.
It's all coming to Georgia, and Vernon Jones down there, fire-breather, throwing down on Kemp why he didn't do it.
Okay, we've got so much to get through.
Financial Times Day.
Also, something that's not getting enough coverage because the mainstream media doesn't want to cover it.
You talk about the mass mandates, Dr. Navarro.
It's really the crime and anarchy in the cities out of the biggest and greatest cities in America, some of the greatest cities in the world.
York City, Chicago, Washington DC.
Ed Lu says an urban crime wave threatens Biden.
In the sub-headline, as president and leader of the party that controls most big US cities, he will pay a price if this goes on.
Eric Greitens, you were on here four weeks ago, you said what's not being talked about is crime in the cities.
What say you, sir?
eric greitens
It's the number one issue.
Number one issue you walk around Missouri, it's law and order.
Yes, people are absolutely concerned about the coronavirus, they're concerned about the economy, they're concerned about jobs, but you've got law and order.
In Missouri, a state of six million people, we have two of the ten most violent cities in the country in St.
Louis and Kansas City.
People are being murdered.
They are being killed.
You've got people in the suburbs who don't want to go to baseball games.
They don't want to travel.
steve bannon
To see the Cardinals?
eric greitens
To see the Cardinals.
To see the Royals?
Because they are afraid of what is happening.
steve bannon
To go into St.
Louis to see the Cardinals?
eric greitens
Why?
Because you've got a George Soros-funded prosecutor in Kim Gardner who refuses, refuses to prosecute murders and assaults, refused through 2020 to prosecute rioters.
This is lawlessness that is taking over the city.
And you see, you know, he talks about it threatens Biden.
What it really does is it threatens the lives of dozens of Americans who are killed every day and don't need to be Yes, it threatens Biden, but the other folks who we have to say here, part of the problem is also when you have Republicans who aren't willing to stand up and back the police.
steve bannon
You need to have leaders who are going to stand up and support the police, stand They're going to say this is all great, and law and order is just a code word, this is a Trump movement, Nixon, all that's a code word for systemic racism of the police departments, and that's why we've got this problem.
Systemic racism of police departments in American society, the 1619 Project tells me, because they've got critical race theory imbued throughout the military.
These founding documents are systemically racist, built upon an intellectual construct of racism.
And that's a problem.
So when Eric Greitens says law and order, that's a dog whistle for all the Trumps and all the suburbanites to vote for Eric Greitens, sir.
eric greitens
Yeah, I'm sick of the left lying about this.
The fact is that there are dead black children throughout St.
Louis, throughout Kansas City, who are being killed because of what is happening.
Dead white kids, dead black kids, dead Hispanic, dead Asian.
You've got kids who are being killed.
Last July, I told you, we talked about this, I was actually talking on Fox about how to defeat Antifa.
I went out with a buddy, we sat down, we were having dinner, and 15 to 25 automatic gunshots go off in St.
Louis in the daylight near one of the nicest corners in St.
Louis.
They were two young men who were killed that day.
Both of them were black.
20, 21 years old.
Good kids.
Not a parking ticket between them.
Shot down, murdered, and killed.
You have to stand up and fight for those kids.
Fight for all Americans who are being hurt by this.
And the idea that supporting the police is racist is nonsense.
steve bannon
Okay, Dr. Navarro, is Luce and Eric Greitens right?
You talk about the structural problems in the American economy.
You point to two things.
The supply chains that's got to be brought back in American manufacturing, and the cities.
Can these, with the CCP virus and all this, can the cities be revived?
Can our great cities, which have been the centerpiece of economic growth, be rejuvenated?
Can you stop this, what we call, urban decentralization?
Which, you know, everybody's leaving New York City, they're going to live in Charleston, they're going to live in the Hamptons, they're going to live down in Palm Beach, they're going to live anywhere but New York City.
Can you get to this with just economic policies, or do you have to confront the anarchy, the lack of the defunded police, and the breakdown in law and order in our great cities like New York, Chicago, and Washington DC, sir?
peter navarro
Steve, you frame that beautifully because you start with a problem from the virus and economics where people are leaving the cities because they can't find employment and then you complicate the whole matter by the policies I mean look, I'm kind of an urban rat.
by the people who were in charge of those cities, such as defunding the police.
Let me tell you this, just from personal experience here in Washington, D.C.
I mean, look, I'm kind of an urban rat. I like living in the city. I move around. I walk around. All of that.
The time I thought I was actually most at risk, ironically, was during the middle of the pandemic when the streets were deserted.
Because the only people who were on the streets at that point were people who would likely harm you.
And what we have as a situation now is that if I'm in trouble on the streets and I try to reach the police, it's like there may not be enough of them to come, number one.
The police are basically more at risk from prosecution now than a lot of the criminals.
That's weird.
That's wrong.
That's like broken windows on steroids.
And Eric's talking about Missouri.
I mean, that is like the poster child for all of this, where the people who are in law enforcement Basically, you're at greater risk from going to jail than the people who are committing crimes.
I mean, New York, de Blasio's New York, is absolutely crazy now.
It's like, it's like people know that they can do whatever they want and they'll be out, not just the next day, but within hours of being picked up.
So, solution, broad solution here to save, I don't know if you can save the cities, but the hedge has to be create manufacturing jobs.
For these people, and get them working again.
steve bannon
If we don't turn these cities around, if we don't turn St.
Louis around, and Chicago, and Detroit, and Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C., and New York, I tell you, America's not going to... These cities are great cities, got great people in them, and the minority communities shouldn't let these radicals... Yeah, go ahead.
peter navarro
Fareed Zakaria, that special he did just a few nights ago.
Talk about the dog whistle.
I mean, that was the whole message.
It's like, we were all Re-framed into anybody who supports any kind of law and order or rule of law.
unidentified
Well, basically.
steve bannon
We were lied to.
peter navarro
Nazis are Ku Klux Klan.
steve bannon
It's crazy.
Last night, more anarchy in New York City because of Palestinian, this huge fight with Jewish citizens and Israelis.
Bibi Netanyahu tells Joe Biden today about not going to de-escalate.
We've got a problem with terrorists.
What's so shocking, you've got members of Congress Members of Congress that are sitting there calling Israel an apartheid state, and I keep telling people this is a poison, they're putting this poison into the American dialogue, okay?
They're saying, remember, the Judeo-Christian West, the railhead is Jerusalem.
Jerusalem and Rome, okay?
And Athens.
That's the railhead.
That's the Judeo-Christian West.
That's the tradition that rests upon our shoulders.
Eric Greitens.
This is shocking and outrageous.
eric greitens
So a couple pieces here.
Number one, if you think back just a couple of decades ago, Israel had strong bipartisan support.
You found that the Democratic Party, the Republican Party, they came together, they agreed on supporting Israel.
Different individuals might have had minor differences of opinion, but generally speaking, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party supported Israel.
Now you have a Democratic Party which actually harbors people who regularly express anti-semitic opinions, who are anti-Israel, who are against, who are actively campaigning against the state of Israel. So the people who are supporting the the state of Israel are moving to the Republican Party. One of the greatest things that happened to the Republican Jewish coalition was when you
had Barack Obama making that terrible deal with Iran and a lot of people who supported the state of Israel started to move towards the Republican Party.
And it shows up in the voting.
unidentified
President Trump got 41% of the Jewish vote in Florida.
eric greitens
Why?
Because people recognized he brought peace.
He moved the U.S.
Embassy to Jerusalem.
He got the Abraham Accords done.
He recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights.
All of those things happened.
And one last point about this sort of interaction between Biden and Netanyahu.
Folks need to remember who Bibi Netanyahu is.
Bibi Netanyahu was a commando in Sayeret Matkal.
Sayeret Matkal is the elite Israeli special operations force.
He was shot and injured multiple times in combat.
unidentified
This guy is a fighter.
eric greitens
His brother, Jonathan Netanyahu, was killed at Entebbe.
Incredible warrior also.
So Netanyahu's a warrior and he's got Biden on the phone?
Biden, who's done what?
And Biden's going to tell him?
steve bannon
Who's asking Kamala Harris for advice.
unidentified
Right.
Biden's asking Kamala Harris for advice.
And you got Biden and Kamala Harris are going to tell Bibi Netanyahu what to do to defend Israel.
eric greitens
Come on.
Look, it's very clear that Bibi Netanyahu is going to stand up.
He's going to defend the state of Israel.
He's going to do it.
Hamas is a terrorist organization.
They're going to fight them.
They're going to protect the people of Israel.
And everyone should recognize that Israel has the right to defend itself.
steve bannon
I gotta tell you, this thing, the politics here is going to metastasize and get out of control.
I've never seen Democrats, I've never seen like the squad, Dr. Navarro, as you just called them, the Jihad squad, attacking, calling Israel a racist state, calling it a xenophobic state, calling it apartheid, and that poisons now into the dialogue, and the Democrats, the Democrats are not going to take care of it.
That's obvious.
See, that's deep, deep poison.
peter navarro
Yes, sir.
It's deep, deep, deep poison, Steve.
It's deep.
And what we're learning with Trump gone because of a stolen election is that stolen elections matter.
I mean one of the beautiful things about Donald Trump that people really haven't fully recognized is it was peace in our time once he came in because he was a credible threat.
He calmed down.
The Middle East.
He calmed down the missiles flying out of North Korea and he started to bring our troops home.
Russia behaved itself.
There was no big incursions in Eastern Europe like we lost Crimea under the Obama administration.
Steve, peace through strength.
And look, as soon as Trump's gone, it's like the squad like jackals now are all over Israel.
And what do you get?
You embolden the folks in Gaza to shoot missiles into Israel and kill people.
I mean, it's like insane.
Go ahead, Eric.
Your point, Eric, by the way, is beautiful that you've made.
Go ahead.
steve bannon
Real quickly, what's your social media?
We've got to bounce with you.
We've got Palm Beach School System coming up next.

Critical Race Theory.
We got Lowe Meyer tomorrow.
Big show.
Important guy.
Critical Race Theory in the military.
How insidious is this?
eric greitens
Look, anywhere, anywhere the left can start to insert these ideas around critical race theory.
You've seen it happen in universities.
You're seeing them do it with K-12.
You're seeing them try to do it in police departments.
Now you're seeing them trying to do it in the U.S.
military.
Anywhere where they can insert that, it is going to damage that institution.
It's damaged every institution that they touch.
And here's the really terrible thing about the U.S.
military.
The United States military is the most well-integrated institution in the history of the planet.
In the history of the planet.
Everybody shows up at boot camp or officer camp and it doesn't matter Where you are from, it doesn't matter.
Your race, your ethnicity, your religion, none of that matters.
You show up and you serve as an American.
And every time they've touched an institution with critical race theory, what does it do?
It tries to divide people.
The U.S.
military, greatest force in the world for bringing people together.
steve bannon
Okay, we've got one of the patriots taking this country back.
You see these school districts across the country.
You see the moms standing up for critical race theory or the masking situation in Palm Beach.
There's a meeting about to start.
Jesse Melton joins us now from Palm Beach.
Jesse, I know you've got a rally, a meeting to go to, but what made you, you're a mom, what made you an unmasking, you know, You know, not just advocate, but kind of fire breathing.
We got to stop this.
What was it that turned you into this advocate, the strong advocate that you are today?
unidentified
Well, it actually happened right when the mask mandate came down the pipe a little over a year ago.
The first time I went to put one on my face and I said, this doesn't feel right.
This is wrong.
And I said, you know, this is a form of visual submission to something that is much more dangerous and has much more, a totally different agenda for our country that you touched on it just now expands far beyond just masks.
And it transcends into critical race theory and, you know, vaccinations and just submission to this communist agenda.
Right out of the gate, I knew it wasn't right, and they had another agenda.
We know that mail-in ballots were their first agenda.
And right now, the issue is that a lot of us have the ability to stand up for ourselves and say, I'm not putting that thing on my face.
I haven't won one this entire year.
And I've gotten in confrontations and, you know, I've politely ignored people who have followed me around stores or airports.
But the problem is that we have children in school right now who don't have that luxury.
I'm an adult and we have teachers who are giving out demerit systems and also leading children to believe that if they pull their mask down to take a mask break or a breathing break that they are going to be withheld from graduating to The next grade and you got children that are being told to sneeze inside their masks, cough inside their masks, children throwing up inside of their masks with migraines passing out.
It's just, it's inhumane.
It's criminal.
I can't even believe we're having this discussion right now.
I can't even believe these people aren't locked up.
steve bannon
So what are you, tell me what the moms down there, what are you, what are you folks doing and why is tonight important?
unidentified
So tonight is the school board meeting of Palm Beach County.
The governor, as you know, Governor DeSantis is a great patriot.
He has rescinded emergency orders that are related to mask mandates.
But, you know, and it took away ability for institutions and businesses to force masks on people.
It took the jurisdiction's ability to fine businesses for people not wearing masks.
Well, what happened is when he rescinded those emergency orders that lifted the mask mandates, The school district dug their heels in the ground, for whatever reason they dug their heels in the ground, and they said, well, you know what, this isn't due to a temporary order, this is actually now our permanent policy.
And they unilaterally, these superintendents, like Superintendent Dr. Fennoy, who is coming out that his wife is tied to Black Lives Matter, she's been in 2016, she had tweeted that we should be Why aren't we more scared of white males?
And had a photo of about a 13-year-old white male on her Twitter.
She made a lot of racist remarks attacking white children.
And so for some reason, they're just using our children as some sort of political pawn.
They're digging their heels in the ground and just giving a big middle finger to the governor and saying, although you've lifted these, this doesn't apply.
This is permanent policy.
And by the way, even though the DeSantis has banned vaccine passports in Florida, They are already starting to foreshadow that what they're trying to do is force children to either to wear a mask unless they get vaccinated.
So you can take the mask off once you get vaccinated.
steve bannon
So what's going to happen?
We got about 30 seconds.
What's going to happen tonight and why are you there and why are you having other parents show up?
Other moms?
unidentified
So tonight there's a school board meeting after we've got a petition of almost 10,000 parents that have signed it.
There's a school board meeting, Palm Beach County School, where we've got over 80 parents that are speaking.
To the school board.
We, after fighting and lobbying very hard, they finally put a discussion about masks on the agenda.
They haven't, they're not going to take any open vote apparently, but you've got parents that are there that are very upset.
They're bringing their kids and they're speaking up on behalf of the children and exposing some of this corruption tonight at the school board meeting.
steve bannon
