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. | ||
| We have to prepare for the worst, always, because if you don't and the worst happens, War Room. | ||

I will do everything I can to ensure that the former president never again gets anywhere near the Oval Office. | |
| Okay, welcome back to War Pandemic with over a hundred, what is it, almost 130 million downloads on the podcast. | ||
| We're live everywhere on satellite, cable, every streaming service, on getter, what, rumble, everywhere, chat rooms all over the place. | ||
| We're ubiquitous. | ||
| Also, John Frederick, Radio Network Nationwide. | ||
| I want to thank John and the team there. | ||
| Real America Voices obviously got us everywhere. | ||
| I want to thank the guys. | ||
| Denver the team there and Genus and GTV for the simulcast in Mandarin and also in Japanese and we've blown through the firewall later today. | ||
| So for Lao Beijing We've got your back and your fight and struggle for freedom against the the dictatorship of the Chinese Communist Party We've got some announcements. We're gonna be making I Think tomorrow about something we're gonna be doing very special. I think with getter and maybe GTV two weeks before the Berlin Games of 2022 that would be the genocide games in in Beijing which must not happen because they've got some | ||
| variant we have no earthy idea which but our Our International Bureau Chief is going to be on. | ||
| Ben Harn was going to be on tonight on the evening show to go through all of that. | ||
| There's something wicked this way comes out of China and it's absolutely should be zero chance that any American athlete should be going there besides all the moral issues involved in it. | ||
| Okay, just saw there Dave Bossie and Citizens United. | ||
| I want to make sure we get the petition up. | ||
| Let's get the petition up and get her. | ||
| Let's get it up on all of our platforms, all the chat rooms. | ||
| There's a petition to sign to have Liz Cheney. | ||
| That's a 30-second spot for those in the podcast and radio audience that can't see the television version of this. | ||
| It's got a bunch of amazing quotes about Liz Cheney and how she's really thrown the President Trump and the entire Trump movement under the bus on this. | ||
| There's a petition to demand that Kevin McCarthy throw her out of the Republican conference. | ||
| It's what the good people in the state of Wyoming have already done. | ||
| It's just to reiterate that and all this nonsense about ratios and all this committee. | ||
| It doesn't matter. | ||
| We're going to win sweeping victories. | ||
| We want to know what congressman doesn't mind jumping off some committee in the minority, which doesn't matter because the way the Democrats run and quite frankly the way we're going to run it. | ||
| That the minority has, you know, no voice, nothing to say. | ||
| What congressman doesn't mind stepping off the committee for a couple of months in order to make sure that we throw her out? | ||
| Which has got to be done. | ||
| There's a petition. | ||
| I want 50,000 signatures. | ||
| I want everybody to be a force multiplier to force this out and to get everybody to take care of this today. | ||
| So we're going to get the petition out. | ||
| We're going to play this spot and Dave Bossie is going to join us tonight. | ||
| To discuss it. | ||
| Tom Friedman, the king of the, what is it, the public intellectual of the neocon neoliberals, who admitted to me at this conference the New York Times put on a couple of years ago that he had been wrong on China. | ||
| I was there with Schmidt, it was a bunch of us, and having this kind of conference, it was like six or eight of us on a two-hour roundtable. | ||
| And I kept saying, hey, they're at war with us. | ||
| We've got to be at war with them. | ||
| And Schmidt and these guys are all making these excuses. | ||
| And Friedman actually said, you know what, I think we made mistakes here. | ||
| Yeah, you're damn right you made mistakes. | ||
| And the next mistake you made, there's a column in the New York Times this weekend, the 2024 ticket, he's calling for stability. | ||
| In the middle of this chaos of the Biden administration imploding, the illegitimate Biden administration imploding, is to wait for it, have a ticket. | ||
| That's a combo ticket of Joe Biden and Liz Cheney. | ||
| OK? | ||
| That would be, first off, that will never happen. | ||
| Number two, that would just be swell for the Republic right now. | ||
| Exactly what we need. | ||
| Is Liz Cheney and Joe Biden teaming up? | ||
| I want to bring in now Harriet Hageman. | ||
| She's actually running against Liz Cheney. | ||
| So it's it's at the local level. | ||
| It's at the state level back in Wyoming. | ||
| It's at the national level. | ||
| And quite frankly, now it's at the global level. | ||
| So tell us where the folks at the good, the hardworking folks out in Wyoming, what do they think about all this, Harriet? | ||
| I mean, this is getting to be almost kind of like surreal madness now with what this woman's doing. | ||
| I would agree with you, Steve. | ||
| Thank you for having me today. | ||
| It's wonderful to be back on your program. | ||
| I would say that we've got several different emotions that we're dealing with right now. | ||
| People are very angry at Liz Cheney. | ||
| They're very embarrassed by the fact that she has aligned herself with the most radical government in the history of the United States and providing them with political cover. | ||
| And then the other thing is, I think that you see a lot of determination. | ||
| We are absolutely determined. | ||
| That we are going to remove Liz Cheney from that seat. | ||
| She doesn't deserve to represent Wyoming. | ||
| She doesn't live in Wyoming. | ||
| She's from McLean, Virginia. | ||
| She is not representing our interests. | ||
| She's not pursuing our agenda. | ||
| She really has gone to war with anybody who disagrees with her, no matter what the issue is. | ||
| She is calling the leadership in Wyoming radical. | ||
| She has stated that she is personally not going to allow Donald Trump to ever get near the Oval Office again. | ||
| That isn't why we sent her to Washington, D.C. | ||
| That isn't her job. | ||
| Her job is to represent Wyoming. | ||
| She's not doing that. | ||
| We need to replace her. | ||
| Well, and the replacement, the folks out there have already thrown her out of the Republican Party, I think, and you're running against her, and the polling shows you're way up. | ||
| But what has to happen here, because she's using this as a platform to spread her poison. | ||
| What would you reckon? | ||
| We just played CSU, I mean, Dave Bossie, he's got so many other things to do. | ||
| He's told me, hey, this is his number one priority, is to make sure that she's thrown out of the conference. | ||
| And you got McCarthy and these guys making all these stupid excuses about ratios and committees and nobody cares. | ||
| They care about this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So what is your recommendation that people should do? | |
| I think people want to see her thrown out of the party. | ||
| I've asked for her resignation, and the reason I've asked for her resignation is the only reason that she has the power that she does. | ||
| The only reason she's sitting on that committee is that she ostensibly represents the state of Wyoming. | ||
| As I've indicated prior on this program, as well as other events that I've attended, Liz Cheney is not representing Wyoming. | ||
| And because we are a republic, because we are a representative government, that's her responsibility. | ||
| Her responsibility is to the state of Wyoming. | ||
| She's failing at that. | ||
| She's failed for a long time. | ||
| So I agree with removing her from the conference. | ||
| I don't think she deserves to have an R behind her name. | ||
| She really has gone to war with true Republicans in this country. | ||
| But in addition to that, I think she should resign. | ||
| The January 6th committee is illegitimate anyway, because there are no minority members appointed to it. | ||
| Everyone on that committee has been appointed by Nancy Pelosi, so it's illegitimate. | ||
| If they want to have Liz Cheney continue on that committee after she's no longer the representative from Wyoming, I suppose that they can do that. | ||
| But that doesn't make it actually any less legitimate than what it is right now. | ||
| I know that she tried to thread a needle earlier this week when she was visiting with Bret Baier as to whether she was, you know, the minority member or she was the vice chair or whatever it is. | ||
| She's not the minority member. | ||
| She wasn't appointed in that capacity. | ||
| And again, the only reason she's there and what her role is, is to attack Republicans, attack Trump supporters, and really to sow chaos in our conference. | ||
| Liz Cheney needs to go. | ||
| Real quickly, what would be your recommendation to or advice to Kevin McCarthy? | ||
| He's the one that could really make this happen. | ||
| What would be your advice to Kevin McCarthy? | ||
| Wyoming, the state of Wyoming had passed a resolution, the Republican Party, that we do not recognize Liz Cheney as a Republican. | ||
| And I think that that was a good vote. | ||
| And I think it took a stand and it put a marker in the sand. | ||
| This is where we are. | ||
| We're going to take a strong stand. | ||
| We're going to take a position on this. | ||
| And I believe that the conference needs to do the same thing. | ||
| My recommendation to Mr. McCarthy would be just that. | ||
| Even from Wyoming, we don't want her representing us. | ||
| I've used this word before. | ||
| She's an embarrassment. | ||
| She is embarrassing to us. | ||
| She is embarrassing to the state of Wyoming. | ||
| Again, she has lined herself with what is the most radical leftist administration in the history of the United States. | ||
| And the issues that we're interested in are border security, inflation, oil and gas crisis, what's happening with our supply chain. | ||
| All of the things that are important to Wyoming, she doesn't even pay lip service to. | ||
| She doesn't even bother addressing those anymore because they don't mean anything to her. | ||
| She can continue to rake in her millions doing whatever it is that she does and have this power that is not | ||
| Given to her by the state of Wyoming or even by the Republicans in Congress But has been given to her by Nancy Pelosi Nancy Pelosi needs to be retired Liz Cheney needs to resign Wyoming needs a representative that actually represents Wyoming and Represents our values and understands the issues and that's not Liz Cheney right now Harriet how do people find out more about you how they get to your website or follow you on social media? | ||
| Hageman for Wyoming calm Please go to HegemanForWyoming.com. | ||
| Liz Cheney is raising millions of dollars from the Democrats and the Lincoln Project. | ||
| We have to be able to compete. | ||
| I appreciate any donations that anyone can provide and any support that you're all willing to give. | ||
| Thank you for having me on to talk about these important issues. | ||
| Again, Liz Cheney needs to go and I'm going to make sure that that happens. | ||
| So thank you, Steve. | ||
| Harriet, let the good folks out in Wyoming, we love them out there, tell them we got their back. | ||
| This is a central issue with the governance of this republic right now. | ||
| This is not a small issue. | ||
| This is one of the central issues about the consent of the governed. | ||
|
unidentified
|
OK? | |
| Harriet Tager, thank you very much for joining us today. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's exactly right. | |
| And what we're seeing is we've got a government right now that believes that they're the ones that control us, not the other way around. | ||
| What's happened? | ||
| I was listening to your previous guests with the vaccine mandates, all of the different things that our government is doing to us. | ||
| Absolutely unconstitutional. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Our founders never in a million years would have been able to predict what the folks in Washington, D.C. | ||
| and this administration are doing. | ||
| And again, the fact that Liz Cheney is giving them cover is really a terrible disappointment for the state of Wyoming. | ||
| We need to change our leadership. | ||
| Harriet Hageman, thank you very much for joining us this morning in the War Room. | ||
| Thank you, Steve. | ||
| Brother Cortez, let me bring you in. | ||
| I think Harry Hageman is right. | ||
| It's the most radical. | ||
| It's so mind-blowing. | ||
| You know, elections have consequences. | ||
| Stolen elections have catastrophic consequences. | ||
| This morning on Morning Mika, they got Steve Ratner who's running. | ||
| By the way, Janet Yellen better get a food taster right away, baby. | ||
| I'm telling you, they're coming for you. | ||
| Ratner is seeing that job. | ||
| He's saying the transitory team's got to leave, the permit team. | ||
| But he said, and Joe Scarborough said, oh, you and And the former Secretary of Treasury have been sitting there from day one. | ||
| No, it was Steve Cortez. | ||
| It was Steve Cortez and Peter Navarro that said this at the very beginning. | ||
| What is the polling? | ||
| This thing is beyond a mess for these guys right now, and there's no way out. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Steve Cortez. | ||
| And Steve, to connect the economics, the economy, to the politics here, because that's what we really try to do for this Audience, I think it's critical. | ||
| We got more terrible economic news out again today, following yesterday's terrible consumer price information. | ||
| Today's producer prices came out at 9.7%. | ||
| So we're almost at double digits. | ||
| That is the highest ever recorded since it's been formulated this way. | ||
| Since 2010 I provided a chart actually just to show the audience for those who are watching who can physically see what the handoff was like from Donald Trump and what has happened since Joe Biden took office and it's very obvious that producer prices which very soon in just weeks and months become consumer prices Producer prices were at or near 2% for the entirety of Donald Trump's tenure as President of the United States. | ||
| And much of that tenure, by the way, Steve, with wages that were galloping higher. | ||
| So real wages were soaring in a year like 2019, before the CCP virus ravaged the global economy. | ||
| We had 6.8% Overall wage growth with incredibly tame inflation at or near 2%. | ||
| So you're talking about roughly a 5% gain in real wages, actual take-home pay that matters. | ||
| We now have the exact inverse, unfortunately, over Joe Biden, and the trend is not our friend. | ||
| It portends even worse ahead still. | ||
| And to connect this to the politics, Steve, and to the polling, you know, I know yesterday We all spent a lot of time talking about the Quinnipiac poll. | ||
| I think to me, the most alarming number within that poll for Joe Biden, or if I were a Democrat strategist, would be what's going on with Hispanics. | ||
| Because the Biden approval among Hispanics is absolutely cratering. | ||
| It is going down as fast as inflation is going up. | ||
| And my point is, the two factors are inextricably linked. | ||
| And what I mean by that is, Most Hispanics, by definition, are working class Americans. | ||
| Working class Americans, by far, are suffering the most under this inflationary surge. | ||
| Steve, just hang on. | ||
| Hold Steve Cortez for the break. | ||
| A lot more to go through. | ||
| Cortez joins us on the other side, in the 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. | ||
| Patriots, let's connect the dots between the economy and politics. | ||
| The Biden inflation surge is leading to a Biden crash in his own political capital, particularly among the working class. | ||
| Shocking poll out yesterday from Quinnipiac University, and it showed that among Hispanics, Biden approval is all the way down to only 28%. | ||
| And even worse than that, For Biden, the percentage of Hispanics who strongly approve versus strongly disapprove about three times as many are in the latter category. | ||
| Now, almost all Hispanics are by definition working class Americans. | ||
| What is the Biden inflation doing to working class people? | ||
| Let's look at it by the numbers. | ||
| Used cars up 37% in price over the last year. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Utilities 24%. | |
| Beef prices up 23%. | ||
| over the last year. Utilities 24% beef prices up 23% furniture up 14%. So what are Joe Biden and Pelosi and Schumer doing? | ||
| They are rewarding the already successful, the people and organizations who benefit from inflation, the owners of assets. | ||
| And they are crushing American strivers, including a lot of his spags. | ||

| This is, and I want to make sure people understand. | ||
| We're here for this republic. | ||
| We're here for the deplorables. | ||
| We're here for Lao-Bai Jing. | ||
| What these people have done, this radical regime that's illegitimate, is so destroying the greatest economy in the world. | ||
| Don't think it's going to be a quick turnaround. | ||
| This is going to ravage this nation for a long time to come. | ||
| There are going to be so many people that want Orange Man Bad back with bad tweets and all, okay? | ||
| Quite quickly. | ||
| You go back and look at 18 and 19, and what happened, and what he did, and what he accomplished. | ||
| Steve, I just want to make sure we go through one more time. | ||
| The numbers today, you've had CPI, now PPI. | ||
| Combine them. | ||
| Tell people this is... I am stunned in my lifetime, given what we had seen before, that we could ever get these things. | ||
| And this is dangerous. | ||
| Number one, our system for these rate increases they're talking about, they're trying to choke this down now. | ||
| Our system is set up for negative interest rates. | ||
| People don't understand the trauma that's going to happen in the financial system that's going to roll into your personal life. | ||
| Okay, number one. | ||
| And number two, runaway inflation has many, many, many, many bad things that happens when that happens. | ||
| Steve Cortez. | ||
| No, exactly right, Steve. | ||
| Look, if we look at history, we see that a lot of political upheaval, upheaval to say the least, we could say political evil actually, results from inflation. | ||
| And if we look at countries that were formerly extremely successful, places like Venezuela, and Argentina in our own hemisphere. | ||
| If we look at Germany pre-World War II, we can see that that inflation leads ultimately to authoritarianism and totalitarianism. | ||
| And in a country that is already as polarized as the United States is, this kind of inflation is not just bad economics. | ||
| It's actually societally dangerous for our country. | ||
| And that's why we need to be clear-eyed about what it is and about policy solutions. | ||
| Because Steve, we can't just curse the darkness. | ||
| We have to do that, yes. | ||
| But as lamentable as this current economic quagmire is, this stagflationary imbroglio that we face right now in America, it does also, Steve, present Political opportunity. | ||
| Political opportunity to solidify the America First cause as the lasting secular shift in favor of working-class Americans and to transform the Republican Party, not into the party of the Cheney's, right? | ||
| But instead, into a party of working class Americans that is truly multi-ethnic and multi-racial. | ||
| And the polling is starting to show us that that political opening is there. | ||
| If we have the guts and the gumption To seize it and of course the right policy mix as well. | ||
| For example, as I mentioned yesterday on the show, I think the most powerful way right now to win both politically as well as get the economy back on track and get inflation under control again and get wages rising is an inflation moratorium. | ||
| We need to absolutely stop illegal migration into this country, and I believe we need a pause in even legal migration to this country. | ||
| A pause in H-1B and other similar work visas. | ||
| Why? | ||
| So that American wages start to rise. | ||
| So that we see real wages take off again, the way they did under Donald Trump, instead of the way they're crashing right now under Joe Biden. | ||
| So this is calamity, but there's always opportunity as well in calamity. | ||
| I want to pivot, but I got you for a couple more minutes. | ||
| The News Nation poll, these are serious people. | ||
| It's a centrist news organization out of Chicago with Tribune. | ||
| It's got nightly, they're putting hundreds of millions of dollars in this thing. | ||
| This poll is a serious, these are, they're not partisans like us, we got it, right? | ||
| But this is a serious poll. | ||
| And this poll for Fauci, I've said, and the other polling groups don't have enough guts To ask the questions like NewsNation did. | ||
| They asked brutally frank questions and American people gave brutally frank responses. | ||
| Tony Fauci is done. | ||
| Stick a fork in him. | ||
| People do not trust this guy. | ||
| But you took a principled stand and actually essentially gave up your job because of the vaccines. | ||
| Talk to me about Fauci and the polling and what it means to you personally. | ||
| Listen, Fauci is now down, according to this News Nation poll, as you showed, to 31% only of the American people who trust him on COVID. | ||
| Only 15% trust Joe Biden. | ||
| Only 10% trust corporate media. | ||
| Now, all those numbers should make their way and probably will make their way toward zero. | ||
| And I believe that among Republicans, it probably is already there. | ||
| Among independents, it's probably very close to there right now. | ||
| Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find the News Nation crosstabs. | ||
| I'd like to see them. | ||
| I think they do a great public service by putting them out there. | ||
| But look, this is really one of the most, there's a lot of incredibly unfortunate consequences to the lockdowns and to the abuses really of the trust of the American people. | ||
| But one of the most unfortunate is the total loss of confidence and trust in public health authorities in the United States. | ||
| And organizations like the CDC formerly had a really sterling reputation. | ||
| And that has been completely squandered purely for reasons of partisan politics. | ||
| And look, I think this is the foundational principle that remains. | ||
| None of us, not Steve Cortez, not anybody out there watching, none of us should be forced to divulge our personal medical choices to an employer or to any other organization, not to a restaurant, not to a movie theater, Certainly not to our place of employment. | ||
| We know for a scientific fact that this vaccine, while it may have some efficacy, we know this vaccine is not useful in terms of preventing anybody from either acquiring or passing on the virus. | ||
| And therefore, there can be no moral or legal or ethical obligation upon anybody To take it against their will or to divulge their status of whether or not they have taken it. | ||
| Now, the American people are coming around to this realization. | ||
| The polling is starting to show this. | ||
| It's just, look, it's another aspect of the Biden regime losing all of its legitimacy, whether it's the economy and issues like inflation, the open border and immigration. | ||
| Those to me are by far the two most important. | ||
| Again, I want to focus on inflation and immigration, the two I's. | ||
| But clearly, medical freedom and stopping medical apartheid is also an important issue. | ||
| For the America First Movement in 2022. | ||
| You've called this, you called inflation, you've called the entire economic things from the very, very, very beginning over a year ago. | ||
| How do people follow you, Steve? | ||
| How do they follow you 24-7? | ||

|
Over on Getter on the free speech platform. | |
| I'm just at Steve, very simple. | ||
| On Twitter for now, I'm at Cortez, Steve Cortez with an S. We put up a lot of chalk talks, a lot of evidence, a lot of data. | ||
| Steve Cortez, thank you for joining us in the War Room today. | ||
| Spectacular. | ||
| Okay, to get out of this quandary, you're going to have a wag the dog situation. | ||
| You can see this coming. | ||
| If you're here in the nation's capital, whether the Washington Post or the MSNBC, they always got to throw in every episode. | ||
| Ukraine, major negotiation with Ukraine, Russia bad, Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine. | ||
| They're going to get into, and they want to get into a conflict over there. | ||
| This is their way, everything else collapsing around them, they want to get over into a conflict. | ||
| We got to talk about NATO. | ||
| We got it. | ||
| And we're going to bring in Monica Crowley here in a few minutes to do that. | ||
| The great Monica Crowley. | ||
| Ukraine and there versus like Latin America and where the Chinese Communist Party is running the tables. | ||
| But I got to bring in Eva Vlaardingerberg, who was so great the other day. | ||
| There's a story, Eva, that we that we brought to your attention about the Swedish Defense Ministry launched a psychological defense agency To combat misinformation. | ||
| This is so important in regards to the vaccines, to the mandates, and also to what our allies are doing. | ||
| Walk us through what this is about, ma'am. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Hi, Steve. | ||
| Thank you for having me on again. | ||
| So yeah, this Swedish agency of psychological, I would almost want to say warfare, because that would actually probably be a more accurate term for what this agency is going to do, is set in place by the Swedish government right now, To combat fake news, so they say. | ||
| You know, to combat fake news in order to protect, and this is where it gets, it always amazes me how the left is able to do this, in order to protect freedom of speech, in order to protect the rule of law, in order to protect democracy. | ||
| So they're presenting this, as they usually do, with this crazy newspeak where everything that was once up is now down, and now we have these censorship agencies that are supposedly gonna protect us From anti-democratic forces. | ||
| So that's what they're trying to do. | ||
| What this, of course, will come down to is the censorship of conservative voices, of dissident voices. | ||
| And these are not small agencies. | ||
| In Sweden, an agency is an organization that is separate from the government. | ||
| It's an independent agency, but it carries out government policy. | ||
| And these agencies, we don't really quite know often, the Swedish people often don't know who's at the head of them. | ||
| So it's very hard to have them sort of politically, like to keep them in a place where they're politically responsible and liable for the things that happen. | ||
| So this is an incredibly dangerous thing for us to see. | ||
| Eva, just hang on for one second. | ||
| We're taking a short commercial break. | ||
| We're gonna have Eva Vlaar back with us. | ||
| Also Monica Crowley, Joe Allen, all of it. | ||

| Eva, this thing is so scary because these are NATO, you know, this is all the countries in Europe. | ||
| It says here, the Psychological Defense Agency raises the stakes in the global battle over misinformation and poses the question, what exactly should governments do when they think the battleground is their citizens' minds? | ||
| Has this gone into other, the Swedes set up a defense, they've weaponized this, this is not the Department of Education, this is their defense, this is a defense agency, psychological warfare. | ||
| Have other countries in Europe followed along there? | ||
| Is this in other defense programs, ma'am? | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| This is a trend that we've been seeing in the European Union for years now, but they really ramped it up when COVID hit. | ||
| So, for example, in Holland, in my country, we actually have a military unit in force. | ||
| So you're definitely right. | ||
| This is in the Defense Department. | ||
| This has nothing to do with just education. | ||
| This is military. | ||
| That has this core issue in following which organizations and which citizens are presenting a threat to the COVID narrative of the state. | ||
| So we're heading towards this territory right now where criticizing the state, not agreeing with the state's narrative will get you labeled as a potential threat to the state. | ||
| And that's, of course, very dangerous because this is just a perfect way for the left and for the establishment to take legal action, like actual legal action against dissidents. | ||
| So I don't know. | ||
| Like, I don't know what to say. | ||
| It's incredibly dangerous. | ||
| And it seems that it's just getting worse. | ||
| What happens in Europe comes here about 60 to 90 days later. | ||
| Trust me. | ||
| Eva, how do people follow you on social media? | ||
| How do they get to your website? | ||
| So they can follow me at Eva Vlaar on Getter, Twitter and Instagram. | ||
| And I also just launched a sub stack. | ||
| So I'll be writing a blog that's called Resist Much, Obey Little to inform everybody about what's happening here in Europe. | ||
| Because you're very right. | ||
| This will come to you guys for sure. | ||
| No doubt. | ||
| Ava, thank you very much for joining us today from Amsterdam. | ||
| Thank you for having me on. | ||
| Kay, I asked today for one of the smartest people I know. | ||
| She was at Treasury under President Trump as the Communications Director over there, also at the National Security Council. | ||
| Monica Crowley. | ||
| Monica, you remember your time at Treasury. | ||
| Think about these numbers. | ||
| Think about what President Trump had done. | ||
| And Cortez just walked through the math, what's happening today. | ||
| But I wanted to have you on because you're one of the smartest thinkers on geopolitics. | ||
| Right now, the only thing they've got, because their ability to grab the federal apparatus to steal elections is not going to happen. | ||
| So they've got an economy that's on fire, burning down, the rampage of inflation. | ||
| They can't get any of their ridiculous spending bills passed. | ||
| They can't steal the elections now. | ||
| They're going to have to wag the dog, and wagging the dog is going to be the Ukraine. | ||
| And I wanted you to assess, given our NATO allies are setting up psychological warfare operations against their own people, to oversee their own people, and yet Biden and these guys are so maniacally focused on getting us in a shooting war in Ukraine, when, as we just went through last week, South America is being taken over as we speak by the Chinese Communist Party, the greatest existential threat we've ever had. | ||
| So Monica Crowley, I want to, is this NATO alliance now more that we're carrying all the weight? | ||
| You know, what are the benefits of this, particularly in the fact that Biden is so maniacally focused and the people running blinking and getting us in a shooting war against the Russians in Ukraine? | ||
| Monica Crowley. | ||
| Well, thank you so much, Steve. | ||
| Thank you for having me. | ||
| And thank you also for the very kind words. | ||
| And it's great to be back with you. | ||
| Look, it is true when you look at the political landscape that the Biden administration has created catastrophes everywhere, both at home and abroad. | ||
| So I think you're right to suggest that their only option at this point, heading into the 22 midterms, to try to change the narrative from all of their Very apparent failures is to try to do something to distract Americans attention away from those failures. | ||
| That could be a wag the dog scenario. | ||
| And it does look like based on the kind of statements and attention that we're seeing come out of the Biden administration, that you're right that it will very well be Eastern Europe and Ukraine. | ||
| What we've seen from the very beginning of this administration is the president and his team Deliberately appeasing America's worst enemies, whether that's the CCP, whether it's Iran, whether it's the Taliban in Afghanistan with that catastrophic withdrawal, or whether it's Russia with lifting the sanctions regime on Russia, whether it's allowing the Nord Stream 2 pipeline to go forward. | ||
| The irony is President Trump is extremely strong in taking on and being far more aggressive on Russia than he ever got credit for. | ||
| This president has taken the opposite tack. | ||
| So, what is the logical result? | ||
| The logical result is Vladimir Putin, like the rest of the world's worst bad guys, see a weak, decrepit, senile American president who's certainly not going to retaliate in any meaningful way. | ||
| and they see an opportunity. So I do think that they are actually looking for Vladimir Putin to advance beyond what he's already done in Ukraine. They're looking for a provocation because they need a political excuse. And that to me is the most unforgivable action for any American commander in chief to do. | ||
| That when they are domestically in trouble, at home, like we saw with Bill Clinton, that they put America's young men and women in harm's way in order to pull their own chestnuts out of the fire. | ||
| That is appalling. | ||
| And if there is no rationale for this, it could be an impeachable offense. | ||
| Monica, I want to go back because of your understanding of geopolitics here and about NATO. | ||
| You know, we've had a great alliance there, obviously coming out of World War I, but really solidified after World War II, the Allies. | ||
| But it gets to the fact of There's a difference between NATO and the EU, and this kind of continuing to push into kind of the Russian spheres of influence, and to push in, particularly when they're not prepared to step up and back it up. | ||
| I mean, when you just walk through that litany, you know, it's Germany that's in business with the Russians. | ||
| It's NATO, the individual countries, until President Trump was there, That we're not throwing enough in the till for combat readiness. | ||
| When we talk about an alliance, and this is what kind of Britain got caught with in World War I, when they had these alliances, but at the end of the day, the alliances really cost them more than they were putting in virtually, you know, so much to it that they got sucked into it. | ||
| Do we have an ally in NATO, in these individual countries, that your thinking is, has put enough into the pot here to actually make it formidable as a true military alliance? | ||
| Well, you know, it was a very successful military, economic, and political, and dare I say, cultural alliance during the Cold War. | ||
| But now we're in a completely different context, Steve. | ||
| One of the great things that President Trump was able to accomplish was getting those NATO allies to actually haul their freight and hold up their promised financial obligations to the alliance. | ||
| But the alliance really has not had a unifying purpose since the end of the Cold War. | ||
| And it's been attempted, you know, Middle East, you know, let's reorient NATO to deal with conflicts coming out of the Middle East or threats coming from different parts of the world, but they haven't had a lot of success. | ||
| So in many ways, NATO is an alliance really without an enemy. | ||
| Now, that could change on a dime if Vladimir Putin decides to go into Ukraine. | ||
| But the problem here, Steve, is that our European allies are extremely craven and not particularly brave. | ||
| They are cowardly and they have put mighty money ahead of everything else. | ||
| So whether it's China or whether it's dealing with Putin and the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, as we saw with the German decision there, they are putting those markets and they are putting their economies ahead of these longer term, certainly short term medium, but longer term threats to the West. | ||
| This is an existential threat that we're facing, certainly from the CCP. | ||
| But the Russian part of this is also really critical because Russia and China are now drawing ever closer together politically, geostrategically, economically. | ||
| So what you saw, a Sino-Soviet split during the Cold War. | ||
| You saw President Nixon exploit that split with the opening to China in the early 70s. | ||
| So there have been these fluid dynamics, but now you do not have a president who is willing or able, frankly, to go to NATO and say, we are now facing this whole array of threats. | ||
| How do we align this, realign this alliance to make sure that we're at a... McKinder 101, this is the payback. | ||
| This is what we're getting for this Russia collusion. | ||
| Maniacal hoax that the left-wing part of the Democratic Party did for years against President Trump. | ||
| We could have aligned against China to not have someone control. | ||
| Now you've got the CCP, Iran, Pakistan, Turkey and Russia trying to basically organize The Eurasian landmass. | ||
| And you see what's happening in Kazakhstan. | ||
| I only got you for a couple minutes. | ||
| Let me pivot to the Beijing Olympics, the Berlin Games of 1936. | ||
| It's all going to play out. | ||
| We have a critical situation in the South China Sea and in Taiwan. | ||
| What would be your advice to Biden and to the America's elites right now about the Beijing Games? | ||
| Monica Crowley. | ||
| Thank you, Steve. | ||
| I just want to make one quick point about your previous point. | ||
| President Nixon engineered the opening to China to use China as a counterweight against growing Soviet power. | ||
| In the late 60s, early 70s, they were expanding their nuclear arsenal. They were engaged in all kinds of adventurism around the world. Nixon had a brilliant geopolitical stroke in opening that door to China, also trying to get Chinese help to end the Vietnam War. If President Trump had been allowed to reverse that and- Amen. | ||
| and work with the Russians in a constructive way to use Russia as a counterweight against growing Chinese power, that would have been a geopolitical masterstroke. | ||
| Now, getting to the Olympics, I would advise this president to pull the United States out of the Olympics for a whole host of reasons, not least of which, the CCP has not been held accountable in any way, shape, or form from the US or any entity in the West, for the global pandemic that they have inflicted on the world, which caused a shutdown of the global economy and has killed millions of people. | ||
| Setting that aside, the fact that they are ascendant in every part of the world, from Africa, you mentioned South America, they're all over the Middle East. | ||
| In fact, when my first trip to the Middle East with Secretary Mnuchin and Treasury, Steve, we landed in the Middle East And we all turned on our government secure phones and for some reason we weren't connecting to the secure network given to us by the government, U.S. | ||
| government. | ||
| So someone took their personal phone and just flipped through to see what kind of networks were available. | ||
| This was in either Abu Dhabi or Qatar or somewhere in the Middle East. | ||
| And every single network was Huawei. | ||
| Every single network that came up was Huawei. | ||
|

|
Wow. | |
| So, they are everywhere, and the United States, I think, gains nothing by giving the CCP a huge propaganda victory by sending our athletes there. | ||

| It's time to cancel, cancel culture. | ||
| For years I expect the digital transformation of life to bring huge changes. | ||
| Everything from science to healthcare to sensors to robotics. | ||
| Whether it's information technology and the acceleration we see in artificial intelligence, you just look across the board and you can see a lot is happening. | ||
| It's really the notion of digital technology pervasively impacting every walk of life in every vertical industry on all parts of the globe. | ||
| The speed is mind-boggling. | ||
| What I'm particularly concerned about, it is how little the world is prepared for the fourth industrial revolution. | ||
| Humanity itself will be changed with this super intelligence and we are at the doorstep of that era. | ||
| World Economic Forum is in the best position to meet a lot of these challenges that 4th Industrial Revolution is going to bring. | ||
| This is from their own lips, right? | ||
| This is not anything conspiracy theories are cooking up. | ||
| This is from the guys themselves. | ||
| They're very upfront and brazen about it. | ||
| You know, he had this movie, Don't Look Up, a metaphor for climate change, where climate change is still theoretical. | ||
| Just is. | ||
| You can see the theories in the math and the probabilities and think, hey, it's 99.9%. | ||
| But hey, this is upon us now, and they don't want to talk about it. | ||
| And they certainly don't want to connect the dots. | ||
| That's what we brought on Joe Allen over a year ago, and he connects them every day. | ||
| Joe, I want to discuss what we just saw. | ||
| Also, Reese Witherspoon, she actually had this very intelligent, I think, tweet that kind of makes some pretty important points, and they're lighting her up. | ||
| So they don't want any kind of, they don't want you, you think vaccines was bad? | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, as Warren always does to put you years ahead of things, write this in your little black notebook today. | ||
| This is going to be a 50 times bigger firestorm than the vaccines. | ||
| Joe Allen. | ||
| Yeah, you know, a lot of people mocked Reese Witherspoon for this tweet, saying, you know, who is this actress to tell us about the future? | ||
| But I would say, if you've let Hollywood get ahead of you on this, then you're way, way behind. | ||
| You know, for the listeners, the tweet was, in the near future, every person will have a parallel digital identity. | ||
| Avatars, crypto wallets, digital goods will be the norm. | ||
| Are you planning for this? | ||
| And, you know, it's been noted a ton of people, you know, slamming her saying, you know, she's boosting crypto, she's boosting the metaverse. | ||
| You could read this tweet in any way. | ||
| You could see it as a promotion, but you could also see it as a warning. | ||
| I certainly see it as a warning. | ||
| And I think this is something that you really have to take seriously, obviously, because if you're not planning for the future, somebody else is planning for it for you. | ||
| And so, you know, we hear, you know, everyone from, you know, the head of Microsoft, to Klaus Schwab, to, I believe that was the head of Alibaba, right after. | ||
| You get all of these top technology, you know, executives, or in the case of Schwab, analysts, and they are telling you that there is a civilizational transformation underway. | ||
| And that it's going to absolutely sweep away the old and bring in a new world. | ||
| And people want to deny this, you know, for probably emotional reasons, because you might go nuts thinking about it, but you have to think about it. | ||
| So, you know, we posted an article a couple of days ago, Beyond the Great Reset, 10 Documents on Human-Machine Hybrids. | ||
| And I've separated out two other little bite-sized snippets. | ||
| They're up right now at warroom.org. | ||
| Should be right at the top, where you can find links at my social media. | ||
| The first one is Immersive Technology and Infrastructure by an organization that we've been talking about since, you know, back in the summer. | ||
| The XR Association, which is, you know, the joined forces of everyone from Facebook to Google to Sony to HTC. | ||
| And the purpose of this organization, founded in 2016, was to push for virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality in business and in industry. | ||
| And we're seeing now with, you know, Metaverse was kind of the, you know, the first state, you know, out on the moon, so to speak, the first flag on the moon, but All of these different companies are flooding in to create the metaverse, and there's a huge incentive now to bring your business on board, or probably more importantly, because children are the main target, to bring educational institutions on board. | ||
| I've talked to a ton of teachers who've said that this is being pushed right now in colleges and universities, and I would imagine that's probably also true in elementary schools. | ||
| Joe, I've got to play one clip on a candidate just announced. | ||
| Can you just give your handles, how people get to you? | ||
| You've got to get all this. | ||
| We have Joe back on, obviously, every day about this entire pressing issue. | ||
| How do people get to you? | ||
| Yeah, you can find all of this at my social media, Twitter and Gitter, at J-O-E-B-O-T-X-Y-Z. | ||
| Huge shout out to the Election Wizard. | ||
| Thank you very much, and thank you very much, Steve. | ||
| Okay, I want to thank the Election Wizard, too. | ||
| Fantastic. | ||
| Let's play the clip from Dave McCormick, just announced in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania today. | ||
| He called for decoupling of the United States and the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| Let's roll it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, the point I was—I was making two points, really. | |
| I think we do need to have a substantially tougher set of policies in terms of how we're dealing with China to protect the American people, both economically and from a national security perspective. | ||
| And I was listing some of them, but there's two or three that I wanted to highlight. | ||
| One is, I think we need to decouple in key areas. | ||
| We can't be dependent on high-end technology. | ||
| We can't be dependent for pharmaceuticals. | ||
| I think that's a really critical thing. | ||
| And I do think that we should have an outbound investment review process of some kind. | ||
| I think it's unacceptable if U.S. | ||
| investors or U.S. | ||
| companies are investing in companies in China that are supporting Chinese military modernization or the repression of the Uyghurs and things like that. | ||
| Okay, it's Dave McCormick versus Dr. Oz in Pennsylvania. | ||
| It's going to be quite incredible. | ||
| And you just had a candidate right there. | ||
| Throwdown at his open. | ||
| We've got a decouple from the Chinese Commerce Party. | ||
| Back here at 5. | ||
| It's going to be explosive. | ||
| Not going to miss it. |
