| After discussing with cabinet and caucus, after consultation with premiers from all provinces and territories, after speaking with opposition leaders, the federal government has invoked the Emergencies Act to supplement provincial and territorial capacity to address the blockades and occupations. | ||
| I want to be very clear. | ||
| The scope of these measures will be time-limited, geographically targeted, as well as reasonable and proportionate. | ||
|

|
We are announcing the following immediate actions. | |
| First, we are broadening the scope of Canada's anti-money laundering and terrorist financing rules so that they cover crowdfunding platforms and the payment service providers they use. | ||
| These changes cover all forms of transactions, including digital assets such as cryptocurrencies. | ||
| The illegal blockades have highlighted the fact that crowdfunding platforms and some of the payment service providers they use are not fully captured under the Proceeds of Crime and Terrorist Financing Act. | ||
| Our banks and financial institutions are already obligated to report to the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada, or FINTRAC. | ||
| As of today, all crowdfunding platforms and the payment service providers they use must register with FinTrack, and they must report large and suspicious transactions to FinTrack. | ||

| to pump it up, don't you know? | ||
| Okay, what you're seeing there is not the halftime show at the Super Bowl. | ||
| Is it the halftime show with the with the truckers? | ||
| It's Tuesday, February 15th, Year of Our Lord 2022. | ||
| I want to make sure I put this up the the other day, but I want to make sure you know how the system works. | ||
| This is the Guardian, the big left wing newspaper. | ||
| This is their weekly magazine. | ||
| And what term do they use? | ||
| The same term you heard there from, what, the Deputy Prime Minister, the Hammer, and, of course, Brandon Castro Trudeau. | ||
| Blockade. | ||
| That's the term, blockade. | ||
| It comes from the left-wing media and the railhead of all their thinking, the Party of Davos. | ||
| They put it out there, it's blockade. | ||
| That's what the headline says, blockade. | ||
| in the subhead how a Canadian vaccine protest became a vehicle for the far right. | ||
| Okay this is uh this and you heard in there blockade. | ||
| Remember people in this audience right now I believe some of you people are designated or going to be designated uh economic terrorists funding domestic terrorism up in Canada because that was the hammer blow they dropped The big thing was they dropped That GoFundMe or GiveSendGo, those type of platforms, now are they being seized and reviewed by the government? | ||
| And of course, you know, GoFundMe is shutting down anything to the truckers. | ||
| But that if you send money, you're potentially in violation of Canadian domestic terrorism financing laws. | ||
| They're going to try to choke this down by tech. | ||
| By spying on you on these big social media platforms and by choking off any type of assistance to the truckers. | ||
| You saw there at the end with the trucker star that dancing in the streets. | ||
| So we got a lot to get to today. | ||
| There's actually a big protest taking on right now in Rome in the Circus Maximus. | ||
| The ancient track there that's in right next to the hill where the government of the Roman Empire and the Roman Republic was. | ||
| It's pretty historic today. | ||
| Ben Harner will be there live as governments throughout Europe. | ||
| Try to shut this down. | ||
| I want to go. | ||
| We've got a packed show today. | ||
| We've got Seb Gorka, Tom Fitton, Steve Cortez, Russ Vogt, economics, geopolitics, finance, FBI investigations. | ||
| We've got John Solomon, Joe Allen, new report out, artificial intelligence. | ||
| There's certain people in artificial intelligence say it may already have its own consciousness. | ||
| And, ladies and gentlemen, that would be signal, not noise. | ||
| Okay, I want to go to Viva Frye up in Canada. | ||
| Viva, yesterday they started to drop the hammer. | ||
| With everything that's going on in the world, it's pretty shocking that they use this, they call the emergency powers out, I think for the first time in Canadian history. | ||
| Tell us what's going on, set the frame of reference, and get us updated, sir. | ||
| Well, it's called the Emergencies Act now. | ||
| It was changed from the War Measures Act, which existed prior to, I think from 1988, previously. | ||
| Ironically enough, I think the only time the War Measures Act was invoked was by Justin Trudeau's dad, who used it to then round up and persecute political rivals. | ||
| They've declared, or they've invoked the Emergencies Act. | ||
| I mean, it's never been invoked before, so everybody's hypothesizing on its application just based on a reading of a law that has never been tested. | ||
| But just by the terms of the law, it's intended to be invoked when the provincial powers are insufficient or incapable of meeting a national emergency. | ||
| So there's a number of thresholds that you have to reach to even be able to invoke this act, one of which is a sufficient national security issue. | ||
| And so they've been, you know, they keep calling it illegal blockades. | ||
| And you know, one of them was illegal at the Ambassador Bridge. | ||
| That blockade has since ended, since they got a court order. | ||
| So they blockaded, got a court order, and the bridge is open now. | ||
| My brother was there on Sunday and showed us what was going on. | ||
| They refer to the illegal occupation of the illegal blockade in Ottawa. | ||
| I've been there now 10 days straight, not 10 days straight, 10 days live streaming. | ||
| And you can see what's going on there. | ||
| There's no blockade or besieging of a city. | ||
| There's trucks on Parliament Hill that have been protesting and sitting there for 10 days. | ||
| But they keep calling it an illegal blockade. | ||
| They have their media, their state-funded propagandist media, running the idea that it's a white nationalist, white supremacist, alt-right extremist blockade. | ||
| So that they then go and now invoke the Emergencies Act. | ||
| In my mind, in the absence of any justifiable measures whatsoever, because it's not that the provincial capabilities is unable to deal with this, and Justin Trudeau comes out and says, don't worry, we're not calling in the military like my dad did. | ||
| We're not calling in the military. | ||
| We're just authorizing, empowering, and effectively ordering banks to freeze bank accounts of suspected recipients of these funds. | ||
| Without any court order and while immunizing the banks from any civil liability for doing it. | ||
| I mean, it's... I tweeted it out yesterday. | ||
| It's so much more dangerous than calling in the military. | ||
| At least when the military is in, you know where the threat lies. | ||
| This is digital warfare. | ||
| It is abuse of every law, of every system that we have in Canada to further stifle any dissent and to... It's not a violent suppression. | ||
| It's just a suppression. | ||
| We're going to connect some dots here. | ||
| This is the manual written by the two colonels who are major generals today, back in the late 90s, for the PLA, the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| As you know, one of the Bibles here of modern geopolitics. | ||
| Unrestricted warfare, of which they tell you there's three types of warfare. | ||
| There's cyber, there's information slash cyber, there's economic, and there's kinetic. | ||
| And if you go to kinetic, that's a sign of weakness. | ||
| That's what the government in Canada has done against the truckers. | ||
| They've done the information cyber part, now they're doing the economic warfare part. | ||
| They don't need to do that, they will hold back on the kinetic force. | ||
| Is that where we are, Viva? | ||
| Well, I don't know what the kinetic part is, but I can tell you one thing. | ||
| I was making a joke this morning on Twitter, it's my diary, that, you know, Hitler had to stage the Reichstag fire in order to justify implementing the emergency acts, the emergency measures that the Nazi government imposed in order to suppress any political opposition to round up and arrest political opponents. | ||
| The irony here is that Justin didn't even have to stage a fire. | ||
| He just got his state-funded media to spend three weeks calling this peaceful protest because I've been there for 10 days now documenting in real time. | ||
| He's got his state-funded media to depict this peaceful protest as a white nationalist occupation in order to justify in his own mind and in the mind of anyone who's not paying attention invoking the Emergencies Act. | ||
| As though, first of all, Quebec said, we don't need it. | ||
| Thanks very much. | ||
| Ontario Doug Ford, the man of the people, says, okay, yeah, you can do it. | ||
| Because allegedly they didn't have the resources provincially to deal with this emergency, which was a exquisitely peaceful protest on Parliament Hill for the last three weeks, where people are shoveling snow, cleaning up garbage, putting up billboards as their protest. | ||
| This is the national emergency that Justin Trudeau thinks justifies invoking the Emergencies Act. | ||
| And keep saying it's the red herring, you know, look at the silver thing over here. | ||
| We're not calling in the military. | ||
| We're just empowering banks to basically level all-out warfare with total immunity. | ||
| You watch what happens in the United States, this is what happened to Mike Lindell, you'll see on the show live. | ||
| They debanked him, one of the most prominent businessmen in the country, one of the most profitable companies in the country, debanked him on live television. | ||
| This is so outrageous, correct me if I'm wrong, you're a lawyer. | ||
| The Canadian Civil Liberties Association Did I see that they came out and opposed this? | ||
| They said they had not really made an argument about the thresholds, the ratcheting up, the actual legal argument. | ||
| Is this where even civil libertarians up there are outraged by this? | ||
| Well, yeah, I did see that they made a statement saying that this is, that Trudeau has finally gone too far. | ||
| And this is the ultimate kick in the groin, is that Trudeau says, don't worry, the Emergencies Act operates within the limitations and under the strict limitations of the Charter of Rights. | ||
| So nothing in this will allow us to violate your charter rights, which the federal and provincial governments have been doing for the last two years willy-nilly, locking people down, preventing inter-provincial travel, preventing peaceful enjoyment of property, unlawful detainment, no due process. | ||
| So the federal and provincial governments have already been systematically violating the Charter of Rights for the last two years, but now they come out and say, we're invoking the Emergencies Act, but don't worry, we can't go too far because we're limited in what we can do by the Charter itself, which we haven't been respecting for the last two years. | ||
| So, civil rights, I forget the name of the organization, but have come out and said they don't see how the Emergencies Act can even be justified in its application here, that this is dangerous precedent to be set. | ||
| Steve, just imagine, this is the first time the Emergencies Act has been invoked since its inception, and what justifies its Being invoked? | ||
| This peaceful protest on Ottawa which anyone who doubts it can watch my 35-40 hours of live streaming? | ||
| And the blockade at the Ambassador Bridge, which is no longer because of a court order which opened it up and the police broke it up and now there's traffic going. | ||
| So this is the national emergency that is sufficient in the minds of dear leader Justin Trudeau to justify invoking the Emergencies Act and giving the federal government even more power to stifle, suppress, and criminalize any opposition to the government. | ||
| I sent the, for the team, I sent the Rasmussen that tweet on Getter. | ||
| Rasmussen has a poll out, it may be out right now, it says over 50% of the American people support the truckers. | ||
| And remember, this has been suppressed by the mainstream media here, it's all white nationalists, it's all white supremacists. | ||
| This is a global phenomenon. | ||
| We're about to go to Rome, to Circus Maximus, the ancient track there, where they have another major protest today. | ||
| The people in Canada understand that this has triggered a global phenomenon and is there any political pain or price to be paid by Trudeau as it sits today with him putting in the War Measures Act? | ||
| Well, we'll see. | ||
| Canadians, I think, appreciate that this has become more than just a national movement. | ||
| There are still a number of Canadians who are well within their political ideological silos where You know, they look at one minute of violent protesters breaking up ice and shoveling snow and salting the war monument, and they say, one minute doesn't, you know, doesn't change the nature of the protest, and then I'll send links and they'll say, I don't have four hours to watch a live stream. | ||
| So there's people who are still willfully in their silo of ignorance. | ||
| A lot of other Canadians are starting to realize that Maybe Trudeau's gone too far. | ||
| Maybe this is going too far. | ||
| But the political ramifications, it will play out. | ||
| I think this is an act of absolute desperation by Trudeau, even with the vote to maintain the mandates at the federal level. | ||
| It got defeated 185 to 151, but that's still pretty close to 50-50 of members of Parliament who are now thinking it's time to end these mandates. | ||
| And so when 151 MPs say, let's end the mandates, but 185 say no, and then the same day Trudeau comes in and invokes the most extreme of all constitutional violation laws, the Emergencies Act, I think people are going to quickly realize that Trudeau is becoming politically toxic, and it will become politically expedient to throw him under the bus in the political sense. | ||
| I'm just waiting for that to happen. | ||
| It's happening a little too slowly. | ||
| But there are apparently a number of liberal MPs who have had enough with Trudeau, the way he's been dealing with this. | ||
| But I guess it's not politically expedient enough yet for them to find their courage and either put it to a vote of no confidence or just, you know, depict Trudeau like the tyrant that he is acting like. | ||
| Sorry. | ||
| Viva, hang on for a second. | ||
| We'll hold you through the break real quickly. | ||
| Can I get Ben up? | ||
| Ben, I get 15 seconds. | ||
| Just put us in the room. | ||
| In Rome, we're gonna come right back to you. | ||
| You're Circus Maximus right now? | ||
| Morning, Steve. | ||
| That's exactly where I am. | ||
| I'm in the middle of this huge protest. | ||
| I've got a couple of thousand people behind me. | ||
| I've got a couple of thousand people in front of me. | ||
| And I've come right here into the middle of the crowd so that the War Room posse can have a feel of the atmosphere here. | ||
| And after the break, I'll be giving a few more details about what's going on. | ||
| We'll be right back to Rome and Circus Maximus where this global protest catches fire. | ||
| Next. | ||

| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| What Viva Frye talked about was quite important. | ||
| You saw in Canada, what they're trying to do is the unrestricted warfare is choke you down on social media using social media oligarchs and then shut off all the financing to everybody. | ||
| We had Mike Lindell, one of the most prominent CEOs in the country on the show. | ||
| He said live on this show. | ||
| They debanked him. | ||
| This is Heartland Financial and the Minnesota Bank and Trust, as it debanked Mike Lindell and, you know, his Christian-centered drug addiction, you know, recovery network, my store, which is his competitor to Amazon, all of it. | ||

Okay. | |
| We got a lot to get to. | ||
| Let's go to Rome. | ||
| Our international editor for all things. | ||
| War room. | ||
| I got a lot to talk about Beijing. | ||
| We can't do it today. | ||
| We're going to get to that tomorrow and NBC, although the taking a bath, they still are promoting what the promoting is absolutely disgusting, including. | ||
| American citizens that have betrayed their country and decided to participate as athletes for a dictatorial criminal organization that is the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| Absolutely outrageous. | ||
| We'll get to that tomorrow. | ||
| Ben Harnwell, you're in Rome. | ||
| You have Circus Maximus. | ||
| Anybody who's been there understands how important this is to the whole city of Rome and to the Roman Republic, Roman Empire. | ||
| It's a place where the big rallies take place. | ||
| What's going on? | ||
| Yes, Steve. | ||
| Today I have a tale of two cities for you. | ||
| A contrast between what's going on here in Rome and what didn't happen in Brussels last night and the difference between the two. | ||
| Now, I spoke to A friend of yours Francesco Toscano this morning I've been here talking to a number of the protesters and one of the reasons there are so many people here today is because of what happened yesterday when the prefect suppressed the trucks and the lorries from coming in to participate in the freedom convoy and what people have been repeatedly telling me is | ||
| is that they were so outraged that they have done the only thing that they can, which is come here and peaceably assimilate and let their voice be known by their physical presence. | ||
| And you can see here around me, the atmosphere is relaxed. | ||
| People are laughing and applauding. | ||
| A contrast, Steve, with the capital of the European Union in Brussels. | ||
| We were speaking yesterday how there were thousands of vehicles that were heading from all over France and the rest of continental Europe to make their protests known. | ||
| And what happened there was that the Prefect did exactly the same thing. | ||
| He prohibited totally the entrance of these vehicles to participate in the Freedom Convoy. | ||
| But here is the important thing, Steve, which I think the globalist overlords need to take note of. | ||
| The freedom to protest an injustice is like the safety valve of a pressure cooker. | ||
| Right, it lets off steam. | ||
| What happens here, people have come here to Rome because they're allowed here on feet, as it were, to come and protest. | ||
| This is, will have the effect of calming somewhat the anger that is building up here in Italy. | ||
| Now, yesterday a new law came into effect which said that Any worker over 50 has to have the vaccine and the boosters to go to work. | ||
| And that in and of itself has created a lot of anger. | ||
| What is not happening in the capital of the European Union is the same release. | ||
| It's been suppressed. | ||
| And that only means, because this always happens, a protest is like a market correction. | ||
| You cannot change underlying reality by Ben, I want you to hold, we're going to come back to you. | ||
| All you will do is kick the reckoning down the road a little bit. | ||
| You're by yourself some time, but the anger behind that reckoning is only going to grow. | ||
| And that is a lesson that the European Union urgently needs to take note of. | ||
| Ben, I want you to hold. | ||
| We're going to come back to you. | ||
| At Harnwell on Getter, Ben's crossing the 100,000 followers thing. | ||
| He's on fire 24-hour day. | ||
| Make sure you go there right now. | ||
| He's putting up videos of this protest. | ||
| Ben, hang on. | ||
| We're going to come back to you. | ||
| I want to go to Oregon and Dr. Steve LaTulip. | ||
| Doctor, you've been one of the inspirations for a lot of what's going on here. | ||
| Tell us your story about how the authorities have tried to shut you down, sir, because you've been an inspiration, I know, for a lot of the truckers and a lot of people involved in this. | ||
|

|
Well, yes, Steve. | |
| I'm, I guess, the first blood that had to sacrifice in a big way when I went vocal publicly stating that I actually stayed open through the entire COVID pandemic. | ||
| My medical clinic doors never closed while most doctors were just hiding behind the desk at home. | ||
| I announced at the time of a rally in Salem, Oregon, that I actually had never masked and neither did my staff. | ||
| And there was no problems at all with infectivity, no contact tracing to my office. | ||
| But I think my big crime was the fact that I publicly stated that I had treated COVID patients early and with 100% success. | ||
| So I exposed to the world that yes, there is a treatment that is very effective for stopping COVID, for getting people back to work and on with their lives. | ||
| Because of that, I received a bullying letter two days after speaking. | ||
| A YouTube video went viral globally and the Medical Board got a hold of it the next day and then they came after me and shortly after that I was told that my license was suspended because it was an emergency suspension simply because I was an immediate danger to the public and to my patients. | ||
| Although the Oregon Medical Board knew that at that time that they had not been masking for four months. | ||
| So I believe the real issue was the fact that I was treating COVID patients early. | ||
| I believe they knew that the so-called vaccine was coming and you couldn't have a doctor telling the world that this is very easily treatable. | ||
| So I had to be taken down. | ||
| I filed a federal lawsuit against them and then they came after me on a second volley and this time they fully revoked my license and suspended it. | ||
| And they did this by actually fabricating two investigations against me, pretending to pay in medicine. | ||
| And they were bogus investigations. | ||
| Everything that they spread out to the world were absolute lies. | ||
| There was hearsay. | ||
| There was nothing factual. | ||
| But the world doesn't know that. | ||
| And because of this kind of abuse by medical boards, by state medical boards, doctors are also living in fear. | ||
| They don't really fear the virus at all. | ||
| But they do fear CEOs of hospitals because most docs are now hired hands. | ||
| But they also fear mostly the medical boards because the Federation of State Medical Boards recently stated, we are coming after all of you doctors who are spreading misinformation. | ||
| And that's defined as the truth behind the whole COVID experience. | ||
| When we actually talk about real medical data and when we practice actual evidence-based medicine, we are harshly, severely penalized for that. | ||
| And that needs to stop. | ||
| That's why I am so for the truckers, because let's face it, these truckers are doing what medical doctors could not or would not do. | ||
| They cowered, they tucked their tails, and it is time to take a stand and to take back our country, because medicine has been hijacked And the mutiny of medicine is only the vehicle by which I see that a coup is taking place in America, and we have to face the reality by just adding up all of these clues. | ||
| Hang on one second, Doc. | ||
| I want to go to Viva for losing. | ||
| Viva, what can people expect today from your reporting? | ||
| Where does this thing head? | ||
| What's the next move of the regime up there? | ||
| So the regime is probably the more apt way of describing the Canadian government at this point. | ||
| I think there are certain delays before they can actually implement any measures or any directives under the Emergencies Act. | ||
| So those might take seven days to come into effect. | ||
| Trudeau announced yesterday that he would announce some updates on the vaccine mandates in the coming days. | ||
| So my suspicion, first of all, I think the backlash that he is getting for this, you know, on all fronts, Will resonate, even with a tyrant like Trudeau. | ||
| I think what he's going to do in the meantime, we'll see if it pans out, is pull back some of those federal mandates, COVID mandates. | ||
| In the meantime, I don't think he's going to do much with this Emergencies Act except the financial stuff, which I think is more dangerous than any military operations one can imagine. | ||
| Big time. | ||
| But I'm going to be following the ground thus far. | ||
| People haven't been rounded up and arrested yet. | ||
| We'll see. | ||
| And I'll be back certainly before the end of the week. | ||
| Viva, how do people get to you? | ||
| How do they get to your site, social media, and particularly your live stream? | ||
| How do they do it? | ||
| So, it's on YouTube and Rumble under VivaFry, V-I-V-A-F-R-E-I. | ||
| Twitter is TheVivaFry, that's where you get a bit of a saucier Viva. | ||
| And then Robert Barnes and I, we do weekly live streams where we're going to talk about this and other issues. | ||
| You can find us on VivaBarnesLaw.Locals.com because these alt platforms are becoming the only platforms through which these discussions can be had without fear of reprisal. | ||
| Viva, thank you. | ||
| Great work. | ||
| You're a great patron. | ||
| Doc, how do people get to you on social media? | ||
| How do people find out? | ||
| We've got 30 seconds. | ||
| How do people find out more about your case and more about what you're doing right now? | ||

...who says he is calling the big political shots now, boasting that Florida Governor DeSantis is crafting political maps in response to what Bannon demands on his War Room podcast. | |
| It's DeSantis and the guys down in Florida listening. | ||
| Talk to us what the map came out, and this is 100% the War Room, and particularly all the great citizens down in Florida. | ||
|
unidentified
|
100% war room. | |
| So what map is he talking about? | ||
| Well, that brings us to an important story right now, and you may not have heard much about it yet. | ||
| That may be how the right-wing wants it. | ||
| This involves Democratic Congressman Al Lawson and Bush-appointed Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts. | ||
| And this development matters. | ||
| So I'm going to take you right through it. | ||
| Bannon is talking about how the Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who's eyeing a run to become the Republican nominee for president, is working to try to change a map which, initially, is how that congressman was elected. | ||
| The idea is to redistribute this voting map so that black voters have less power in any single district. | ||
| It is so extreme that even some Republicans down there are balking. | ||
| Critics say it is rank racial discrimination. | ||
| Political experts say if this new map goes into effect, it would probably lead to Congressman Lawson's loss. | ||
| And Florida Republicans had submitted a map which did not have this ploy in it. | ||
| And that's where Bannon comes in. | ||
| Now he may be a huge self-promoter, But he did demand that Republicans just get in there and draw even more districts so that Trump would have won them easily. | ||
| And that's what DeSantis appears to be doing. | ||
| And it is more extreme than what, as I said, even his own party was planning. | ||
| And now that you're caught up on all this, DeSantis is drawing a line in the sand and saying not only is this what he wants to do and it's more extreme than the other Republicans in this state, he's saying it's a litmus test. | ||
| He's going to veto anything less than this plan. | ||
| And in classic Trumpian projection, he makes that pledge while accusing others of doing what he calls an unconstitutional gerrymander. | ||
| We will not be signing any congressional map that has an unconstitutional gerrymander in it. | ||
| And that is going to be the position that we stick to. | ||
| So just take that to the bank. | ||
| That was new heading into the weekend. | ||
| And as for gerrymandering, well, the Post explains that Republicans could win 20 out of 28 seats in a state Trump won by just three percentage points. | ||
| Translation, you have all the voters voting. | ||
| Republicans win by 3%, but they then control a 20% edge in those state seats, or congressional seats. | ||
| So, this is why they call it gerrymandering. | ||
| Both parties have done it, but this is far more extreme and far more racial for the Republican Party. | ||
| We could go ahead and play this for another four or five minutes. | ||
| Okay, here's the reality. | ||
| This has nothing to do with me. | ||
| This is 100% this audience. | ||
| And Governor DeSantis and the people around him. | ||
| Remember, the State Senate came out, I think it was 14 to 14, they were the first one to do. | ||
| And this is the same time, if the staff can get it up, if our production team can get it up, Atlantic Magazine, which is kind of one of the other railheads of their intellectual, they've got an amazing article, Boris, I want to bring Boris in, they've got an incredible article about how quote-unquote gerrymandering is turning back on the Republicans, but they cite Elise Stefanik and the great fight that she's having up in New York State, and they literally sit there and go, hey, the Democrats took five seats. | ||
| Bang. | ||
| Right now, what the Democrats are doing in New York is 23 to 3, there will be three, three, count them, Republican Congress, congressional districts in the entire Empire State, including The largest metropolitan area in the United States of America, that would be New York City. | ||
| Three. | ||
| Twenty-three to three would be the congressional delegation. | ||
| Three. | ||
| Total smash mouth by Mark Elias and these guys. | ||
| Total smash mouth. | ||
| It started, Boris, you heard the beginning, and this is one, now, MSNBC's in full meltdown last night. | ||
| This is all about race, everything like that. | ||
| This was this audience Bringing it up and making sure that Governor DeSantis and his team just were aware of what was going on. | ||
| They were. | ||
| And here, and this is props to Governor DeSantis. | ||
| What I like about Ron is he's a grinder, and he's grinding. | ||
| It's 20 to 8 right now, Boris, and I think he's throwing down hard. | ||
| Let's deal with this reduction. | ||
| Look, the 2022 and 2024 election process started yesterday in Texas. | ||
| In fact, I didn't have time to get to the AOC part at the end. | ||
| The game is on. | ||
| But right now, as part of the, this is the structural elements of this, and you saw in Tennessee, where the great state legislature told the governor, pound sand dude, we're coming in at 7-1, we're going to override your veto. | ||
| Right now, great people in Kansas overrode a veto in Kansas. | ||
| We're seeing a firefight in Missouri, we're going to get to in a second, but go back and let's talk about the heroic efforts of Ron DeSantis and his team down there to really deliver a map that the Republicans and the MAGA movement and the citizens of Florida deserve. | ||
| Boris Epstein. | ||
| Steve, good morning. | ||
| Honored to be here this morning. | ||
| And as always, huge thanks to Ari Melber for the free publicity, the free PR. | ||
| A little disappointed there, that clip of you. | ||
| You were talking to me, asking me the questions about Florida. | ||
| I remember that day very well. | ||
| For some reason, he cut me out. | ||
| Probably has PTSD from my appearance on his show a few weeks ago. | ||
| We all know how well that went for Ari. | ||
| Not so well whatsoever. | ||
| So, here's the bottom line. | ||
| In Florida, for months, for months we talked about this, and talked about the importance of redistricting, and spoke directly to Ron DeSantis, the governor, and we put his office number in the chat, we put the address in the chat, we put the email in the chat, and told the War Room Posse to put its shoulder to the wheel, as it does so well, better than anybody, better than any group, any audience, I believe, in the history of media. | ||
| And what happened? | ||
| Governor DeSantis came up with a map, and Denver's got the map. | ||
| We can put it up. | ||
| Perfect. | ||
| Great work, Denver. | ||
| Thanks so much. | ||
| This map right here, a beautiful, gorgeous 20 to 8 map, okay? | ||
| And if you look at the districts, they're actually pretty reasonable in terms of drawing, right? | ||
| They're not the New York district, which Democrats draw, which is, you know, like a golf club goes around the bend, okay? | ||
| These are the districts proposed by Ron DeSantis. | ||
| But of course, MSNBC is freaking out. | ||
| Democrats are freaking out. | ||
| Mark Elias, who's got a lot to worry about, based on the Durham investigation, he's freaking out. | ||
| Now, compare this to the New York issue, as you talked about, the New York redistricting being done by Democrats. | ||
| They're getting rid of seats held by women. | ||
| They've totally changed Elise Stefanik's seat. | ||
| They're making Nicole Melendez's seat so, so much weaker for her. | ||
| Even though, listen, we're not big fans of Melendez because of what she did on some of her recent votes on the Jan 6th committee and others. | ||
| But nevertheless, that is a woman holding a congressional seat. | ||
| I thought that Democrats were the party of women and the party of minorities and the party who wanted to give everybody equal choice. | ||
| That is obvious BS. | ||
| That is BS. | ||
| And I remember stretching and making it all about race and making it all about, oh, Steve Bannon bad? | ||
| Let's throw Steve Bannon in here, too, and really get the audience riled up because Rachel Maddow is on vacation and MSNBC is plummeting without her. | ||
| Here's the reality. | ||
| This is pure politics, OK? | ||
| This is pure politics. | ||
| The Democrats are playing Smash Mouth in New York, Illinois, Maryland, and California, and others. | ||
|

|
And we're not complaining, we're not whining, but we are demanding the Republicans do the same. | |
| Hang on, hang on, whoa, whoa, whoa. | ||
| This is raw power politics, we admit that. | ||
| That's what the War on Poverty is best at. | ||
| Put it shoulder to the wheel and tell people we're going to hold you accountable. | ||
| This is what's going on, this is what happened in Tennessee. | ||
| Governor DeSantis is being heroic. | ||
| Defending the citizens of Florida to make sure the 20 to 8 map. | ||
| I would actually argue be worse than that The 28 map is a fair map This is power politics and what you've had before and this shows you when they came out with the 14 of 14 map and what's happening in Missouri the the blue blazer You know loafers the country club khaki pants country club set are too gutless to fight and They shrivel up when they're called racists and all these names and we understand it's the assertion of a lie. | ||
| And you can't crumble when they lie about you. | ||
| You've got to dig in and defeat them. | ||
| This gap is not bridgeable. | ||
| It's not bridgeable for what AOC and Melbourne, these guys stand for. | ||
| It's not bridgeable. | ||
| One side's going to win and one side's going to lose. | ||
| And that's why they're whining today. | ||
| Their new code word, they're using the end of democracy. | ||
| No, it's the end of the Democratic Party and they understand it. | ||
| And it starts with this redistricting. | ||
| Talk to me about Missouri. | ||
| Where do we actually stand in Missouri? | ||
| And Steve, here's what's so important. | ||
| Here's what's so important for people to realize. | ||
| This is not some, you know, esoteric issue. | ||
| And this is not Ari Melbar and AOC and MSNBC, CNN said, trying to come together and unite. | ||
| To the Country Club Republicans, they are never going to like you. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| The Democrats, the establishment, the elites, they are never going to accept you. | ||
| So be real, be strong, and do what MAGA wants you to do under the leadership of President Trump. | ||
| And draw the districts, draw the maps that should be drawn. | ||
| In Missouri, the fight continues today. | ||
| They're back to the filibuster today. | ||
| And the patriots in Missouri legislature are saying we are not going to accept anything but a 7 to 1 map. | ||
| And they're of course heartened by what's going on in Florida, where there's strength now from Governor DeSantis. | ||
| In Tennessee. | ||
| happened in Tennessee when they broke up the national district. | ||
| In Kansas, where believe it or not, you have a Democrat governor in Kansas somehow because of a weird coincidence of events. | ||
| But the legislature overrode the veto. | ||
| So the patriots in Missouri are saying, hey, rhinos, you guys don't want to put a 6-2, which is really a 5-3 map in front of us? | ||
| Wrong. | ||
| We are standing on 7-1, and we're not taking one step And again, just like with the 3 November movement that goes across the country from Arizona to Wisconsin to Pennsylvania to Georgia, the movement for strength and redistricting is across the country because it feeds off itself. | ||
| Because the MAGA patriots are looking and saying, we are not backing down. | ||
|

|
And if the liners want to do it, they can go become Democrats. | |
| What do people need to do today? | ||
| Do we have these numbers up? | ||
| I want everything in Missouri. | ||
| I want people calling. | ||
| I want people emailing. | ||
| I want people texting. | ||
| Man the ramparts. | ||
| Because every day that battle shifts, right? | ||
| And we got to be at the center of gravity of the battle. | ||
| These redistrictings are, they're important for the raw numbers themselves. | ||
| So the actual congressional districts, they're also important because they understand there's a new Republican party. | ||
| There's a new right. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| The Trump movement does not back down. | ||
| The Trump movement doesn't give you a 14 to 14 thing coming out of Tallahassee, a map, and then go have cocktails and let's go have dinner together. | ||
| We're not interested in cocktails. | ||
| We're not interested in dinner. | ||
| Right? | ||
| That was Andrew Breitbart's great line. | ||
| No more cocktails. | ||
| We're at war. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| This is an unbridgeable gap. | ||
| Unbridgeable gap. | ||
| One side's going to win, the other side's going to lose. | ||
| And we're going to win because we're ascendant. | ||
| You see that in Rio Grande Valley. | ||
| Real quickly, Arizona, sir. | ||
| The decertification process is underway in Arizona and Wisconsin. | ||
| What is up with Rusty Bowers? | ||
| You've got about a minute, Boris. | ||
| Rusty Bowers has somehow claimed that he hasn't seen the evidence. | ||
| Well, let me tell you something. | ||
| From, and this is good information that I have first hand, Rusty Bowers this week is going to have first hand, first hand he's going to see right in front of his face every piece of information, every piece of knowledge on the fraud that happened in Arizona. | ||
| Hang on, stop, stop, stop, stop. | ||
| I know you got to do that and I'm fine doing that. | ||
| He should be removed as a speaker. | ||
| If he's sitting there saying I have not seen the evidence, I'd show him some evidence. | ||
| I'd call a vote and remove him as Speaker of the House. | ||
| People in Arizona gotta get fired up here. | ||
| That dereliction of duty, that is an insult to the patriots that have been out there at the New Concord Bridge, sweating in the heat last April, May, June, and July. | ||
| He hasn't seen the evidence. | ||
| They ought to take that evidence and rub his nose in it. | ||
| Bowers is indicative of what the problem is in this country with the conservatives. | ||
| They're gutless. | ||
| That's a lie. | ||
| He hasn't seen the evidence. | ||
| Hey, Fincham and you guys, you better show him the evidence. | ||
| You're going to take it to his house and dump it in the front yard. | ||
| That's outrageous. | ||
| That's an insult to people. | ||
| All the effort, the patriotism. | ||
| I haven't really seen the evidence. | ||
| I haven't seen the evidence. | ||
| What evidence? | ||
| You talking about evidence? | ||
| What evidence? | ||
| Remove him as speaker. | ||
| I don't think he played ball. | ||
| This is all a charade. | ||
| Anyway, Boris, we've got to pop. | ||
| We'll give your thing on the other side. | ||
| Thanks for joining us. | ||

| Patriots, more terrible economic news as producer prices rise on an annualized basis 9.7% year-over-year, just a tick off of the all-time highs. | ||
| The monthly increase was twice as bad as what Wall Street was expecting. | ||
| Producer prices become consumer prices very soon. | ||
| How are consumers dealing with the Biden inflation surge? | ||
| Unfortunately, a lot of it is through credit card borrowing. | ||
| We now know through new data that the fourth quarter just completed of 2021, total credit card debt in the United States increased by $52 billion. | ||
| Billion dollars. | ||
| That is the biggest increase in 22 years. | ||
| And in quarter three of 2021, as the Biden inflation surge was really starting to accelerate, that's where we saw a lot of new credit cards issued. | ||
| 20 million total new cards originated. | ||
| Of them, 9 million of them went to subprime borrowers. | ||
| So here's the reality. | ||
| A lot of working-class Americans are already in a world of hurt, and it's going to get worse because of Joe Biden. | ||
| Okay, I got Cortez here. | ||
| And by the way, Russ Vought's going to join us back, I think, tomorrow to talk about the CR and the budget. | ||

is addicted, addicted to easy money. | |
| Steve, I want you to walk through why we're not structurally, both as a country with its economic and financial structure, and individuals in that, they're not ready for this. | ||
| They're not ready for this. | ||
| This is very different than your brain analysis shows you. | ||
| This is different than before because you're not going to get any juice in your savings. | ||
| Take your time and walk people through. | ||
| Cortez is going to co-host with me for the second hour. | ||
| We got Fenton. | ||
| We got Seb. | ||
| We got John Solomon. | ||
| We got Joe Allen. | ||
| It's huge. | ||
| And we're going back to the Circus Maximus with Ben Harnwell. | ||
| But just take a couple of minutes and walk people through your theory of the case, because this is going to affect this audience's personal life. | ||
| Your family life, your sons and daughters, your community, and your country. | ||
| Steve Cortez. | ||
| So, Steve, tenure yield, which I often talk about when I come on your show, tenure yield on the United States Treasury bond, which is the benchmark interest rate on which all interest rates from credit cards to home loans to foreign government bonds, all of them are judged, are priced relative to United States Treasuries. | ||
| That yield today is, again, above 2%. | ||
| Now, by historical Perspective, you might say, well, 2% sounds low, and it is compared to decades past. | ||
| But compared to where we were at the end of the Trump term, 2% is incredibly high, 0.8%. | ||
| 0.8% is where we were on election day in 2020, when Joe Biden illegitimately prevailed. | ||
| So we have gone up 150% from 0.8% to above 2%. | ||
| Now, what are some of the ramifications? | ||
| credit cards. | ||
| Let's let's this with the focus of my and my new article I put How did it? | ||
| How did consumers deal la this massive surge in inf over the last year, comple a created crisis that was by joe biden, Nancy pelaci Well, for far too many am with it in the only way t the only way they knew ho And again, that's not my opinion. | ||
| The data show us this. | ||
| $52 billion in additional credit card debt, the largest increase in 22 years. | ||
| By the way, overall debt, credit card and all kinds of debt in 2021 grew by the most since 2007, according to data from the Fed. | ||
| But here's the reality for that credit card debt. | ||
| In particular, right now, the average rate nationally is 16%. | ||
| For those who don't have good credit, though, they are already north of 20% on that debt. | ||
| In all likelihood, as interest rates rise, and after today's horrible, I mean, just dreadful producer price index print, just a tick off of the all-time highs, the monthly change for this month, by the way, Steve, was double. | ||
| It was twice as bad as what Wall Street They thought on the month it would go up .5. | ||
| It went up 1.0 in a single month. | ||
| That is crisis-level inflation. | ||
| Given that kind of inflation, the Fed has no choice if they're going to at all protect working-class Americans, but to get aggressive and raise rates. | ||
| But in raising rates, all of a sudden that 16% interest rate becomes 20%. | ||
| The lower credit quality credit card holder right now who has a 20% rate becomes 25. | ||
| And the cascading effect upon consumers who are already stressed, who are already very understandably incredibly anxious about this Biden economy, about this Biden economic implosion, this situation because of credit cards is about to get massively worse. | ||
| And that's, Steve, why you and I often say on this show, I know stocks are more interesting. | ||
| In some ways, they're sexier to watch in bond markets, but interest rates are really what matter more to most people's lives. | ||
| It's the reason that Clinton wasn't actually thrown out of office, as Bob Rubin ran it, but he said on the 10-year Treasury, right? | ||
| The Treasury, the bond market is a thousand times, okay, Just real quickly, only got about a minute here, but you're the one that picked up the fact that the rents are exploding, the credit cards are now going to explode. | ||
| That's all kind of hidden in the data. | ||
| Also, the consumer price got all showtime last week. | ||
| They don't really talk about producer price. | ||
| Producer price shows you, because that's in back of the consumer price. | ||
| This ain't going to stop anytime soon. | ||
| This is going to roll out. | ||
| Biden can't turn this around by the midterms. | ||
| You got a minute, Cortez. | ||
| Let me see your analysis of that. | ||
| Absolutely not. | ||
| In other words, this is telling us that this is in the pipeline. | ||
| And also, it's not just that inflation is high, it's the rate of change. | ||
| The rate of change is accelerating right now. | ||
| In other words, this car is going downhill, okay, in a very bad way, and the gas is being pressed. | ||
| Pedal to the metal while it's going downhill. | ||
| That's what this data show us, unfortunately. | ||
| And to your point earlier, by the way, the last time we had inflation at these levels, At least savers were rewarded. | ||
| You had double-digit CD, certificates of deposit. | ||
| You could make 11% by putting your money in the bank. | ||
| You now make 0% or just above by putting your money in the bank, and you have to deal with massive inflation. | ||
| It's the worst of both worlds. | ||
| Cortez, hang on for me. | ||
| The other thing is that, just remember, is that the worst has not come yet, and they have not raised rates. | ||
| They're too gutless to raise rates. | ||
| They're frozen. | ||
| They're not raising rates and they're still quantitative easing. | ||
| They're still pumping juice into the system because they want to keep the donor class, they want to keep those assets up, want to keep those stocks up. | ||
| We are heading off an economic cliff and we're accelerating at an accelerating rate. | ||
| So says Steve Cortez, the pedals to the metal. | ||
| Okay, next. |
