Good morning! | |
| F**k! | ||
| F**k! | ||
| Good morning, fuck! Fuck, good luck! | ||
| So how do you stop it? | ||
| Are you prepared to do a deal? | ||
| You've said you're happy to talk. | ||
| We can't stop alone all this. | ||
| How do you think it's stopped? | ||
| How is it going to stop? | ||
| Only if the world will unite around Ukraine. | ||
| They are not uniting around Ukraine. | ||
| They are not, they are still, it's still very slowly, it's still very slowly, but you can feel it only when you are here, because the people from Europe or USA, it's far from Ukraine, it's far from the heart of this tragedy, and you can't understand the details, because you are not fighting here. | ||
| And I understand why. | ||
| And I don't want them to fight, but these countries can help, can unite. | ||
| Because we can't speak about the close... I'm sorry that I'm speaking again and again about this problem, but... | ||
| We spoke about children in hospitals, etc. | ||
| And you know the number of these child deaths. | ||
| So, we are speaking about closing the sky. | ||
| You can't decide to close or not to close. | ||
| You can't decide. | ||
| If you are united against the Nazism and this terror, you have to close. | ||
| Not me. | ||
| Don't wait for me asking you several times, a million times, to close the sky. | ||
| No, you have to phone us, to our people, Who lost their children and say, sorry, we didn't do it yesterday, one week ago. | ||
| We didn't push Putin. | ||
| We didn't speak with him a lot. | ||
| We didn't find the dialogue with him. | ||
| We did nothing. | ||
| And it's true. | ||
| Yesterday, The world did nothing. | ||
| I'm sorry, but it's true. | ||
| Boris Johnson, the British Prime Minister, as a number of other world leaders, say if they do that, if they close the sky, that could exacerbate and make the situation even worse. | ||
| If they allow Poland to provide you jets and station it on NATO land, that will make it worse. | ||
| What would you say to that? | ||
| What does it mean worse? | ||
| For whom? | ||
| So, the first question is rhetoric. | ||
| And we don't need rhetoric questions and answers. | ||
| We have to have contradict things. | ||
| So, it would be worse for whom? | ||
| For our families? | ||
| No. | ||
| For whom? | ||
| For them? | ||
| No. | ||
| Who knows? | ||
| Nobody knows. | ||
| But we know exactly that now is very bad. | ||
| And in future, it will be too late. | ||
| And believe me, believe me, if it's prolonged this way, yes, you will see they will close the sky. | ||
| But we'll lose millions of people. | ||
| Aren't we doing more? | ||
| Why aren't we doing the no-fly zone? | ||
| And if not that, why not at least more jets? | ||
| Well, Chris, first of all, the scenes that you've referred to, including the strike yesterday in Mariupol against the maternity hospital, look, they are abhorrent, they're despicable, they're shocking. | ||
| Unfortunately, they have become par for Mr. Putin's playbook. | ||
| So that is why at every turn we have sought to be responsive to the needs of Ukraine and to be responsive to what we hear from President Zelensky, from what we hear from Foreign Minister Kuleba. | ||
| With whom Secretary Blinken met just the other day inside Ukrainian territory. | ||
| That's precisely why, over the course of the past year, we've provided more than a billion dollars worth of security assistance, more than 250 million dollars in recent days alone. | ||
| And we're going to do more. | ||
| With thanks to Congress, we will soon, we expect, have more than 13 billion dollars to work with, about half of which which will provide Ukraine the defensive security assistance it needs. | ||
| When it comes to the planes though, the challenge is that the threat Ukraine faces is better designed for surface-to-air systems. | ||
| These are systems that we have provided to Ukraine in the past and the Department of Defense is looking into options to provide additional such systems so their Ukrainian partners can be more effective in taking on the precise threats that we're seeing wreak such havoc, wreak such destruction. | ||
| The idea is heresy. | ||
| These are the people who are about to spend another $15 billion of American tax money, not on Texas, not on fixing homelessness, not on, you know, helping the families whose children have died of fentanyl overdoses because of the open border that we have, but they're going to send it to defense contractors to defend a country's border on the other side of the world. | ||
| This inflation news is going to be tough for the administration. | ||
| Nothing, Joe, nothing has been more politicized than inflation. | ||
| Just let's harken back to all the things we've been through. | ||
| First it was transitory, then inflation is good. | ||
| Then we went to corporate greed, now we're at Putin. | ||
| Welcome. | ||
| You're in the War Room. | ||
| It's Thursday, 10 March, the Year of Our Lord 2022. | ||
| I want to give a hat tip to Tucker Carlson. | ||
| In the fog of war, Tucker, every night is a is a opportunity over at Stupid TV because the rest of it is just the warmonger neocon. | ||
| There's bad or worse than MSNBC. | ||
| Because MSNBC and CNN, you know, you're just getting right up in your face, right up in your grill. | ||
| And I want to ask, you know, the world, how quickly is the world Are rational people going to have a belly full of Zelensky? | ||
| Oh, I know he's the hero. | ||
| He's given the Churchill speech and everything like that. | ||
| Sorry, you must close the sky. | ||
| The world, you have done nothing. | ||
| This is beyond goading us into this. | ||
| This is absolutely guilt tripping you. | ||
| It's your fault. | ||
| I told you he was going to get to that point. | ||
| You have done nothing. You will only make it worse. | ||
| Mayans are going to die and you're eventually going to close the sky. | ||
| I don't think that's going to happen, Zelensky, and I think it's time that you got rational. | ||
| Because you've got to put, the more you keep happy talking to these people, and when I say happy talking, let me talk about, there's four types in our hybrid warfare and unrestricted warfare, what we call it, the Chinese call it, Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| You have obviously kinetic, and that's what you're seeing, you know, the tanks and the shells and the hospitals getting blown up. | ||
| You have economic war, which we're at offensive economic war with Russia right now, the Russian people trying to take down the Russian economy so that they That they revolt against their regime and overthrow Putin. | ||
| You have cyber, right? | ||
| And they're a cyber superpower and we're hoping it doesn't get to cyber because that's just one level down from nuclear and biological and chemical, right? | ||
| That's where all the lights could go out. | ||
| And then you have information. | ||
| And right now, this is an information war. | ||
| And the audience for this war is you. | ||
| The audience for this war is you. | ||
| They're trying to guilt-trip you. | ||
| They're trying to, with all these emotions today, with everything going on that is at the heart of the matter. | ||
| And we're going to get to the heart of the matter in a second. | ||
| Ben Harnwell in Rome. | ||
| Peter Navarro, join us. | ||
| We're going to talk, what did St. | ||
| Paul say? | ||
| When I was a child, I thought like a child. | ||
| We're not going to be thinking like children here. | ||
| We don't. | ||
| We address you We address you as adults and we're going to do that today. | ||
| But the great papers of the world, Zelensky accuses Russia of hospital, hospital hit with attack as civilians grow, hospital, Russia bombs maternity hospital, Russia strikes, hits maternity hospital. | ||
| Is the same editor write the same headline over again? | ||
| It's like they don't talk. | ||
| There's no communication. | ||
| And by the way, all the things are in Zelensky's A Hero, rallied world leaders, now employees in the Join the Fight. | ||
| It's everything on the front page of the great papers of the world, all here, which we go through every day, the great papers of the world. | ||
| There's nothing that really gets to the heart of it. | ||
| There's nothing about the Lavrov meeting. | ||
| There's nothing about the four demands. | ||
| There's nothing about Ukraine telling them to screw off, which is a negotiating posture. | ||
| I got it. | ||
| None of that. | ||
| Nothing really about the Chinese stepping in here and being the big winner. | ||
| Nothing about that. | ||
| Nothing important. | ||
| This is not Citizen's Free Press. | ||
| This is not Gateway Pundit. | ||
| Right? | ||
| National File. | ||
| National Pulse. | ||
| You pick them. | ||
| This is the learned. | ||
| These are the papers written by your bettors. | ||
| these are the people, these are the papers written by your bettors, read by your bettors, right? | ||
| And acted upon. | ||
| Well, here's what they ain't acting upon. | ||
| It's more and more evident that this is a regional problem and should be handled regionally. | ||
| And somebody's got to tell Brother Zielinski there, there is no cavalry that's going to come. | ||
| We've continued to mislead these people. | ||
| And I've said this. | ||
| This is why there's the death and destruction. | ||
| We misled them dramatically of what we were prepared to do to keep away the KGB run. | ||
| Uh, Russian, uh, Dictatorship, right? | ||
| For provinces that are in kind of dispute and just go back and look at the history These are disputed. | ||
| These are hate. | ||
| I know people say oh the ukraine's a nation It's but their nationhood and their sovereignty and their self-determination Well, that's kind of still an open question media matters leftist over media matters talk about how the less become warmongers They say dave brad and steve banner saying hey, they got to surrender but never said anybody should surrender ever We said that there are | ||
| Demands out there by the aggressors and there's Europe is in their position and like most things It gets either worked out more like in Japan in the Confederacy Japan Nazi Germany and in the fascists in Rome It's unconditional surrender. | ||
| I haven't heard an unconditional surrender. | ||
| That's not looking that's a negotiated deal. | ||
| I So I want to get to all of that, and how we're going to get out of here. | ||
| And here's how we're going to get out of here. | ||
| We're going to get out of here with a negotiated deal. | ||
| That's what's going to happen. | ||
| As soon as Zelensky knows that he can't go guilt trip the West, and particularly the United States, into doing it. | ||
| The Biden administration and Jen Psaki and nobody in that room has put them on the spot and said, tell us specifically what your objectives are in this exercise. | ||
| What are your war aims? | ||
| Because morning, Joe, remember, it's all at war. | ||
| We're at war. | ||
| They're trying to wag the markets. | ||
| Now, they had the worst inflation numbers like in human history in 40 years just came out this morning. | ||
| Inflation is out of control on the dumpster fire of their economy. | ||
| Of course, what we did is The House last night passed the $1.5 trillion annual deficit that we told you they were going to do. | ||
| It's $5.5 trillion or $5.25 trillion overall spending. | ||
| Got to consider the transfer payments, right? | ||
| And increases in defense spending and Republicans all voted for that. | ||
| Virtually all of them voted for the defense spending and had the social justice warriors got to basically kind of match up. | ||
| So we're throwing NAPOM onto an already A burning dumpster fire. | ||
| Of course now they're trying to blame it on Putin and everything like that. | ||
| We're not going to get with that. | ||
| No chance. | ||
| Impossible. | ||
| It is a situation that has spun out of control because of your betters. | ||
| But you're sitting there rock solid, and if we just hold the line here, this is all going to get worked out. | ||
| The one thing that's true, the longer it goes on, more of the women and children Are gonna get killed. | ||
| Because the Russians aren't stopping, they're heading down to Odessa. | ||
| We told you, the land bridge all the way across, they're gonna take the ports. | ||
| And if this thing goes on, they're gonna add a new demand. | ||
| Besides Crimea, they're gonna add a fifth demand. | ||
| Oh yeah, by the way, we want to throw in Odessa. | ||
| We want to throw in Odessa and that kind of land bridge over to the west so we control all the ports of Ukraine. | ||
| And that's where we are. | ||
| But in all of this, to make sure that we're all in junction, our great allies, remember, the EU, the European Union and NATO are two different things. | ||
| NATO is the defense pact, which is really just a combined headquarters group in Brussels. | ||
| They do some operations together, but it's really combined, so don't let me tell you, it's really, and these are all deadbeats, they're all deadbeats, the Germans being the biggest deadbeats. | ||
| I told the Germans to their face in the White House, I said, you're deadbeats, you are total deadbeats. | ||
| Complete deadbeats. | ||
| We pay for everything, and you skate by. | ||
| They said, oh wait, we can't do it because we have a constitutional thing that has to have a balanced budget. | ||
| I said, well, we would like to have that too, but we're paying for you deadbeats, because you're deadbeats. | ||
| EU's totally different. | ||
| That's the economic organization that I am glad to have been part of, to work with, to assist the British people that exited from, in Brexit. | ||
| Right? | ||
| But the EU's today, they're meeting in Versailles. | ||
| The place where the treaty they came up with the concept after the World War One, they guaranteed the network. | ||
| And so what better symbolism than to go to the exact place where the League of Nations was all thought up? | ||
| And, you know, and they came up with that in Versailles. | ||
| The economic consequences of the peace that essentially came up with the solution for the First World War, the Great War, the war to end all worlds, that guaranteed you were going to have a slaughter pen in a decade or two. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| The United States is going to come in and bail you out again. | ||
| Bail you out again, saving Private Ryan, the 12 o'clock high, take all the war movies, that's American kids from this great country with American taxpayers, bailing them out again, bailing the old world out again, because they're in a cockpit in Europe and they've got to be fighting each other. | ||
| So what a better place for Macron? | ||
| And Macron, he's a great guy. | ||
| You know, the former Rothschild's banker. | ||
| Hey, that's not a, that's not code word. | ||
| That's where he worked. | ||
| He worked at Rothschild's and company. | ||
| He was an investment banker. | ||
| I've worked across the table from, from Rothschild's, right? | ||
| One of Trump's cabinet members was a Rothschild's banker. | ||
| Okay, short break. | ||

War Room. | |
| Pandemic. | ||
| With Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| War Room. | ||
| Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Okay, welcome back to the War Room. | ||
| By the way, I'm feeling good, and here's the reason I'm feeling good. | ||
| I know we've got this. | ||
| The power and strength and scale of this audience, we've got this, and we're going to have some work assignments, but I feel very comfortable now. | ||
| I can see exactly how this thing's going to play out, and this audience is going to put its shoulder to the wheel, and we're going to have this. | ||
| I want to go to Dr. Peter Navarro for an update. | ||
| And remember, don't believe the spin of Putin and all that. | ||
| That's all to come. | ||
| And by the way, that's all driven by us. | ||
| Don't get me wrong, he's the attacker. | ||
| But the responses that are going to drive this into the stratosphere is the economic warfare done in your name by the people that lead, the elites that lead this country, right? | ||
| The elite class of the country. | ||
| And you're a combatant. | ||
| I want everybody in the audience to remember from yesterday, take it out. | ||
| We're going to make conscious decisions. | ||
| I'm a combatant. | ||
| Write that down. | ||
| I am a combatant. | ||
| Because you're a combatant in here, in the Third World War. | ||
| Dr. Peter Navarro, update me on, update me on how we're trashing American money today, right? | ||
| American wages? | ||
| I just want to say something before I go. | ||
| If I can get, if Captain Bannon can get to my getter post from the other day, and if he can get it to young Master Cameron here, and let's get it to Denver, the most important article, as I told the team the last few days, CNBC had an article, had an article up, I think two days ago? | ||
| 64% of Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck. | ||
| 64% of the people in the greatest economic power in the history of the Earth live paycheck-to-paycheck. | ||
| If you take that to 30 days without a paycheck, that number gets to about 80-85%. | ||
| And if you go out to 90 days, it gets to over 90%. | ||
| Just remember, use that as a template. | ||
| That is reality in our nation, the greatest nation on Earth. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| That is you, the audience. | ||
| Yeah, well, first do no harm. | ||
| Almost two-thirds of your countrymen live paycheck to paycheck. | ||
| Dr. Navarro, how do we help out folks today that live paycheck to paycheck, sir? | ||
| Yeah, well, first do no harm. | ||
| Against the backdrop, Steve, of Congress passing a $1.5 trillion bill, right? | ||
| More flames on the inflationary fire. | ||
| Here's what the numbers are. | ||
| Let me show you what we got. | ||
| CPI came out today. | ||
| Hot as a firecracker. | ||
| Above expectations. | ||
| Market fell on the news. | ||
| 7.9% annual rate. | ||
| Highest in 40 years. | ||
| Check this out, Steve. | ||
| Granularity. | ||
| 8.6 rate. | ||
| A higher rate for urban wage earners. | ||
| And you know, that's primarily your skewed Black and brown Americans in our city, so this is a tax on the poor. | ||
| Gas and oil led it with airline fares. | ||
| Not surprising, but guess what? | ||
| These numbers did not really include the Russia effect yet. | ||
| Shelter and food. | ||
| Okay, this is a political nightmare, Steve. | ||
| If you're thinking about what really ticks off the electorate, gas, fuel oil, shelter, food, fruits, vegetables, spiking. | ||
| That's the news in the markets. | ||
| We'll get into this maybe a little bit later, but both the stock market went down and bond yields went up. | ||
| I can explain more in detail later why that is a strong stagflationary signal. | ||
| Back to you, Steve. | ||
| Okay, when we come back, and it'll probably be in the next segment, you won't hang with me the whole time here, because I've got some strategic stuff to ask you, but I want to... You made the call on stagflation. | ||
| I'm now going to ask you to make the call on recession. | ||
| I've talked to some smart hedge fund guys overnight in Asia, in the city of London, on the continent, and in the United States, and they're telling me... Well, I don't want to tell... I'm going to hold it. | ||
| I'm going to see what you say, and then... Well, yeah, but just... I want to make sure your viewers and listeners don't get confused. | ||
| When I say stagflation, That's a combination of recession and inflation. | ||
| So, recession's built into the forecast. | ||
| We'll get into when we get a negative growth rate a little later on, but it's common. | ||
| A full bore one. | ||
| It's common. | ||
| It's all common, baby. | ||
| Misery Index. | ||
| Remember, within the reality that you've had this great concentration of wealth and the ruling class in this country is the One percent and the people around them, and they own these politicians in their pocket. | ||
| Remember, we just passed an over five, the House passed an over five trillion dollars. | ||
| Five trillion. | ||
| Got to remember to transfer payments have to be financed. | ||
| You got to aggregate it up. | ||
| One and a half trillion of discretionary spending, including Including a mass, another big defense spending increase. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| Defense spending increase. | ||
| So, I want to go to now Ben Harnwell. | ||
| We're going to cut to the heart of what the reality is here geopolitically, geostrategically, and what's on the ground as they kind of grind through southern Ukraine, and obviously got the capital semi-surrounded, and they're shelling The ground combat's brutal, no doubt about that. | ||
| You've got to just look at the facts. | ||
| They're blowing up women and children. | ||
| Innocent, what I would call non-combatants, they don't care. | ||
| They're just coming in. | ||
| Ben, there was a meeting in Turkey today with the highest level guys I've met so far, not the level of grundoons that have been meeting in Belarus. | ||
| These were the most senior players from Zelensky's side and from, I think, the Russians had laid out their four, you know, stop fighting right away. | ||
| You're going to be a neutral buffer zone. | ||
| You're going to give up these Eastern provinces, the Russian-speaking breakaway republics, or independent republics, or whatever they call them, that are inside what you call Ukraine today, but we say are independent, and you're going to turn over Crimea, which we essentially control and have had a plebiscite years ago, and we took it, you know, right after what, the Sochi Olympics. | ||
| That's what Lavrov walked out. | ||
| Walk us through what was the response from Zelensky's senior partners? | ||
| Morning, Steve. | ||
| Morning, Dr. Navarro. | ||
| Well, yes, in a sense, the Ukrainians are saying two different things at the same time, and they're required to do this because at this point in the war, they're basically playing poker, but with bombs. | ||
| So officially, the Ukrainian position is territorial integrity, zero compromise. | ||
| What has come out via Israel, because Naftali Bennett is doing the intermediary work between both sides, so I assume that the sources there are impeccable. | ||
| What comes out of Israel is that, in fact, Zelensky is prepared to compromise on the neutrality, on the independence of Crimea. | ||
| And to recognise the independence as well, sorry, the fact that Crimea is Russian and the independence of the two breakaway republics. | ||
| But the point is, you have to get to that. | ||
| And at the moment, because the killings are going on day by day, no one's going to walk into a meeting and say, all right, OK, what do you want? | ||
| I'll sign here. | ||
| They're going to bluff. | ||
| They're going to counter bluff. | ||
| And they're going to try and work out what the weak point is in the opposition. | ||
| And they're going to, both sides are going to try and get the absolute maximum. | ||
| We need to understand this when we're reading the events. | ||
| So today, there are two big things going on today, right? | ||
| One of them is, as you say, in Turkey. | ||
| It's a three way meeting that was this morning between Sergey Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister, Dmitry Kuleba, the Ukrainian foreign minister. | ||
| And I think crucially, I would say this, Mevlut Cavalos Cavasoglu, who's the the Turkish foreign minister who hosted the meeting and was basically the broker between both sides. | ||
| And I say crucially because Turkey, because of its relationship with Ukraine, with its relationship with Russia, the fact that it's a NATO member and the fact that it's been steering very delicately an independent path in the over the last two weeks is going to have a very important role here as the brokering of this goes forward. | ||
| So those are the sides that are starting off today with the peace negotiations. | ||
| And it's important to say, I think, the fact that this meeting even took place. | ||
| There was technically zero need for three foreign ministers to get together in the same room, right? | ||
| You have WhatsApp, you have Zoom, you have all sorts of modern means of communication. | ||
| You've got, as I say, Naftali Bennett shuttlecocking between both places. | ||
| The fact that they came together Obviously, they're going to come out with their impossible situations in the first round. | ||
| That's to be expected. | ||
| The fact that they came together, I think, is a very strong signal that they want an off-ramp. | ||
| However, Steve, the second meeting which is taking place today, which you mentioned in your monologue, is in Versailles. | ||
| And one has to speculate what the European game is. | ||
| Because from everything that we know about the Russian position, Vladimir Putin will not accept Ukrainian membership either of NATO or of the European Union. | ||
| And what the European Union is doing together under French leadership today is speculating on how to fast track Ukrainian entry into the EU. | ||
| All that is going to do is complicate the matters taking place in Turkey. | ||
| And to what end? | ||
| One can only speculate. | ||
| Well, here's what's going to happen. | ||
| They're going to continue to show you're going to continue to see, you know, they're saying you're war criminals or war criminals. | ||
| Hey, maybe. | ||
| And that's all to be taken to adjudicated in The Hague and places like that. | ||
| But right now, this is the type of behavior. | ||
| Remember, what the real game is here is the international rules-based order that the elites have made so much money off of and control everything else. | ||
| This post-war international rules-based order, right, which they kind of control the apparatus. | ||
| This is Davos. | ||
| This is the World Economic Forum. | ||
| It is Brussels, the EU. | ||
| It's the city of London. | ||
| It's Wall Street. | ||
| It's the capitals. | ||
| It's all the elites, the Atlanticists, and they talk about it all the time. | ||
| If you really listen to what they're saying, that's what they're fighting for. | ||
| And the proxy they've done for that is the territorial integrity and self-determination of Ukraine. | ||
| Well, hey, that's, I'm sure, very high on the priority list of the Ukrainian people, as it should be. | ||
| But that has no... How does that even impact or become part of a, not just vital national security interest, any national security interest of the United States when we have an invasion of our southern border? | ||
| This is why we have to have total clarity. | ||
| And what you're seeing now is the EU is instigating it, and I think to do it symbolically, where the League of Nations was really pulled together, and a treaty was signed that guaranteed upon its signature Guaranteed upon his signature that we would have a second world war is is is to me It's it's not ironic because they know what they're doing right? | ||
| They're signaling something here and what they're singling is a Not good. | ||
| My point is, they need and they have to go or guilt trip for American involvement, and it's not going to happen. | ||
| And what the Republicans supported this $15 billion last night that Tucker called out, we called it yesterday, should be ashamed of themselves. | ||
| Not one penny for the wall, and you're giving $15 billion basically for the eastern border of Ukraine and their sovereignty and their self-determination? | ||
| You should be ashamed of yourselves. | ||
| And we're going to make sure you're ashamed of yourselves, because we're going to name names. | ||
| Short break, back in a moment. | ||

| Okay, Ben, I know you gotta go cover what's happening in Versailles with Macron. | ||
| They're stirring up the hornet's nest here. | ||
| Like, I keep telling people, you're playing with fire on every aspect of this thing. | ||
| And remember, I just wanna make sure we start the show with, it's your fault. | ||
| The world's done nothing. | ||
| The world's done nothing. | ||
| You must close the sky. | ||
| And you've got even the liberals on here and the warmongers up there saying non-stop, Ambassador McFaul, if you try to put up a no-fly zone, even a mini no-fly zone, you might as well call it the, let's go to war with Russia zone. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| But Zelensky, and Zelensky is very quickly, after being played up as like this, you know, Marvel superhero, he's going to wear out his welcome. | ||
| In fact, if they actually played what he said every day, he would have already worn out his welcome. | ||
| The only place you can really find that is War Room, because they suppress, they give you little bits of it, it's nowhere on the front pages of the paper, they don't want to talk about it, it's not in the editorial pages. | ||
| He's up in your grill, that this is your fault. | ||
| And part of it is, he's correcting that the elites in the world, the elites in the West have promised him, that now he's coming out with the, he's saying the quiet part out loud. | ||
| But it's really your fault out there in Middle America. | ||
| It's your fault. | ||
| The blood's on your hands. | ||
| You haven't done anything. | ||
| The world's done nothing. | ||
| You must make this happen. | ||
| And when he eventually says you're going to do it, remember that arrogant end, you're going to do it and we're all going to have another 2 million people killed. | ||
| So I want to make sure you understand that you're the problem, you're the fault from Zelensky. | ||
| Ben, give us your social media. | ||
| People should be on your Getter account all day long, and then I know you've got to scurry and start covering what's happening in Versailles. | ||
| So tell us how to get to you. | ||
| On this point, Steve, I think the War Room audience will divide into two. | ||
| Those who believe that the rules-based order are pushing this will be following at Steve Bannon. | ||
| Those instead who believe that there is no rules-based order, just a globalist class of pathological grifters, which is what I pushed out on Getter, And find more about these arguments on at Hanwell throughout the day at Hanwell. | ||
| It's my surname and I'll be pushing this line and backing it up with with argumentation. | ||
| I want to take it a different I want to take it a different way. | ||
| You've got the you've got it. | ||
| You've got like the it's the Halliburton. | ||
| The Halliburton psychosis is your pitch. | ||
| Mine's a little more subtle but powerful, but that's okay. | ||
| I understand that in living in Rome so long, it's all conspiracies, so I get it. | ||
| I got that. | ||
| I understand how you roll over there. | ||
| Hanuel, you're a rock star. | ||
| Don't ever give up the hat. | ||

Thanks, Steve. | |
| God bless. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Thanks, brother. | ||
| OK, Peter, before I get to go back to the dumpster fires, the economy and how it's going to impact people right now, and that's why the meeting of Versailles today, if memory serves me correctly, and I think it was Keynes and there were there others, too, that said that the terms of this treaty. | ||
| The terms of what you make in Germany do, having beaten Germany, having the United States come in and beaten Germany at the end, because that's what did it, was our input of men, not even the equipment, that was just raw manpower, which the, you know, the German high command said we're not gonna be able to take this, so they keep pounding us. | ||
| That the economic consequences of everything they had Germany give up and the stripping of the thing and the reparations and all that, but what they didn't, was the hyperinflation, it was the hyperinflation in Germany that destroyed The Weimar Republic, any sense of democracy, it brought out all the communists and the Spartacist League and the rise of the Nazis from a party that started with like 12 people. | ||
| It was hyperinflation that changed everything. | ||
| And this is my point that Dave Brat said the other day. | ||
| It's only so much that the carcass of our economy is so dead right now. | ||
| That even pumping all this money and printing all this money, you know, just barely has it up and going. | ||
| But my big fear, and he said, that's why, because the money supply has grown so rapidly, but you keep having this massive deficit spending with still the quantitative easing, right? | ||
| They haven't done anything to kill inflation and stop inflation yet, that you're going to get into the part of you think this inflation is bad. | ||
| You ain't seen nothing yet. | ||
| And then once you get inflation with the food prices going up, the commodity prices, because it's both supply and demand. | ||
| Boom! | ||
| You could get into, and my point is, hey, I don't know. | ||
| Nobody's an expert in this, but I can look at history and see what's happening and see the sleepwalkers we have right now that are running this. | ||
| Dr. Navarro, your thoughts, analysis, and commentary. | ||
| Yeah, history serves us well here. | ||
| Keynes wrote The Economic Consequences of Peace as a critique of what they called the Carthaginian approach to peace after World War I, which was to impose very heavy reparations on the Germans. | ||
| The French, in particular, insisted on this. | ||
| And the underlying thought was to destroy Germany as a power that could basically Create another war with that backfired because it led to the hyperinflation because the German economy couldn't deal with any of that and the sympathy around that led to the rise of Adolf Hitler if you fast forward now | ||
| Domestically, we are creating a potential for a hyperinflation. | ||
| We already have very high inflation. | ||
| I really can't believe it. | ||
| The House passes a highly inflationary bill the day before the CPI numbers come out and show we're at the highest rate in 40 years. | ||
| I mean, what's wrong with this picture? | ||
| To be clear, Steve, that bill has the highest rate of non-defense increased spending in the last four years. | ||
| It's a Democrat dream. | ||
| So there is that. | ||
| The other thing about the Putin experience, which we should understand, is the economic consequences of what's happening with the war, forcing Putin now into the arms of Xi Jinping, destroying the ruble. | ||
| At some point, one of two things is going to happen. | ||
| Russia itself is going to lash out like Nazi Germany did, or Russia and Communist China are going to be so wedded at the hip with Russia as the junior partner that Xi Jinping's going to have all the oil, gas, minerals, everything it needs to feed the factory floor. | ||
| Won't need the US or Europe or anything like that. | ||
| They're going to set up their own Japanese imperial sphere of influence like in the 1930s. | ||
| And it'll be game on in a totally different way. | ||
| So your theme this morning, I think, is an apt one. | ||
| It's like the economic consequences. | ||
| What does that mean geopolitically for kinetic warfare, for the welfare of the American people? | ||
| And right now, I love that phrase you use. | ||
| I mean, it's like a dumpster fire we've got. | ||
| With the economy right now, and we're throwing more on that. | ||
| Anyway, that's kind of the sad story. | ||
| Let's go back to this economy. | ||
| By the way, just as a side note, Carthaginian peace after the end of the Punic War, since, what was it, Cato the Elder kept saying at the end of everything he would talk about in the Senate was his education policy. | ||
| By the way, kudos! | ||
| That opening you had, Rick Santelli, he's like, He's like the Tucker Carlson of Fox, right? | ||
| He's the only guy on CNBC who really always tells it like it is, and that opening was absolutely beautiful. | ||
| He knows the barn's burning down. | ||
| No, no, and they also got to try to burn it. | ||
| This is wag the dog, wag the markets. | ||
| This is their whole thing, they're going to blame it all on Putin and blame it all on this war. | ||
| That's just not the case. | ||
| In fact, the structural problems we have, we're only adding to it. | ||
| On the Carthaginian side is that when Rome finally defeated Carthage... | ||
| They tore the city down and salted the earth around it, so nothing could ever grow up there. | ||
| In fact, if you saw the movie Patton, he goes up to the ruins of Carthage. | ||
| They never built, as great as Carthage was, which was really the competitive realm, never built it. | ||
| So my point is that the demands are so... And we're kind of doing that today with the economic warfare. | ||
| Remember, on the sanctions with the oligarchs and the yachts, forget all that. | ||
| That's all sideshow stuff. | ||
| Noise, not signal. | ||
| The signal is we're at offensive, you, you're a combatant because it's your government, we're at offensive economic war, which I think is the bigger tools of the day, until you get to biological and chemical. | ||
| Economic war, we're taking down the central bank, we're trying to destroy the ruble, right? | ||
| To have, and they're open about it, to try to have the Russian people turn on the regime, we're trying to have regime change. | ||
| People should also think about this for a second. | ||
| Yeah, go ahead. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, look, as China, Iran, Venezuela, and Russia all de-dollarize, right, they get off the dollar so they avoid sanctions, as the ruble is crushed, what you're going to do is basically turn the ruble into a yuan, a Chinese yuan, a renminbi kind of Currency, right? | ||
| So the Russian ruble, instead of being dependent on the dollar, is going to be totally dependent on Chinese yuan. | ||
| Look, Russia, twice the landmass, twice the landmass of China and the U.S., despite losing its socialist republics. | ||
| It's got a huge amount of the world's resources, a lot of it poised in Siberia, and communist China has already... Talk about, like, the invasion on our southern border, right? | ||
| From the South, it's like the Chinese Communist invasion into Siberia is well underway as well. | ||
| So the high irony here, Steve, is going to be that even as Russia gets a few chunks of Ukraine out of this war, it's going to wind up being a colony of China. | ||
| That's not chess. | ||
| That's not Putin as a chess master. | ||
| That's checkers in the chess world. | ||
| And I don't think he's really thought that through, but it's coming. | ||
| But China, the CCP, is the winner of this, no doubt about that. | ||
| And that's where we're at. | ||
| But good news geostrategically. | ||
| Very good news geostrategically last night. | ||
| In Korea, an election, and not just a conservative one, but a hardline anti-CCP, pro-get-him-out-of-the-South-China-Sea, defensive Taiwan, and anti-North Korea. | ||
| So the whole game has changed over there. | ||
| We had a very weak, during Trump's time, had a very weak Just quick on that. | ||
| Just quick on the Korean thing. | ||
| I was in the Trump White House watching that tool in Korea. | ||
| Just quick on that. | ||
| Also, India, some regional, big regional, big regional wins in India to support Modi. | ||
| More nationalism, hardcore nationalist in India. | ||
| Yeah, Peter. | ||
| Just quick on the Korean thing. | ||
| It's like, I was in the Trump White House watching that tool in Korea. | ||
| He was like our worst enemy when the boss was trying to negotiate hard line with a dictator in North Korea. | ||
| That South Korean guy was constantly undermining us. | ||
| Now, I mean, this news is really good news. | ||
| It's a real sea change. | ||
| People are getting the memo, Steve. | ||
| I want to go to another topic. | ||
| By the way, to tell you how good The War Room audiences, and particularly, I guess this is kind of the Engine Room, so they're not just really audiences. | ||
| These are people that follow the show and give us advice and tips all the time. | ||
| They just made a comment that I think is quite perceptive. | ||
| They say, look, you and Navarro are always saying dumpster fire, but in a dumpster fire, it assumes it's contained, although it's burning on the top. | ||
| They say it's more like one of these out-of-control Northern California huge forest fires, and they're correct about that. | ||
| That's very perceptive, and we're going to try to stop using dumpster fire. | ||
| It is one of these massive fires that's now raging out of control, and instead of the guys coming over and putting the chemicals on it to slow it, you're dropping napalm on it, and that's what we're doing right now. | ||
| I've got to tell you, I cannot say enough about how the cowardice Look, I'm not being heartless. | ||
| I'm being practical. | ||
| You can't give $14 billion, which is easy because there's no penalty. | ||
| on this bill and I realize people are voting against Amnesty. | ||
| It's so important we're going to get the names of the senators up. | ||
| We got to pound the Senate. | ||
| This thing cannot pass as is particularly. | ||
| Look I'm not being heartless. | ||
| I'm being practical. | ||
| You can't give 14 billion dollars which is easy because there's no penalty. | ||
| You're just going to run the printing presses more and your kids will pay for it. | ||
| Do a straight up bill. | ||
| 14 billion and not one penny for the wall. | ||
| Nothing for the defense of our southern border. | ||
| Oh, they can say, well, you've got no ban on Iran, you've got technology, all this is all crap. | ||
| Where's the wall? | ||
| Not one penny for it. | ||
| $14 billion went seven times or six times what they gave Trump, ever, to Ukraine for the defense of their eastern border with Russia, in Russian-speaking breakaway territories. | ||
| That's where we are. | ||
| Short break, back in a moment. | ||

War Room. | |
| Pandemic. | ||
| With Stephen K Bannon. | ||
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| War Room. | ||
| Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K Bannon. | ||
| Okay, this is a series that gets to because, you know, they got the White House is warning today that could be biological and chemical, you know, weapons attacks. | ||
| So it's getting it's getting dicey and we're going to get into the bottom of the biological weapons of it all because, you know, Victoria Nuland who's a demon, right? | ||
| Her hands have been all over this for decades, right? | ||
| A beyond a she's a left-wing neocon, which are the worst even worse than the right-wing neocons. | ||
| You saw her you saw what she shocked Ruby. | ||
| We've done that and Tucker did it last night. | ||
| We'll get more into that. | ||
| Peter, on recession, I know stagflation, you and Cortez called it from day one in the Biden administration, but that's not full-on, bottom-falling-out negative growth, right? | ||
| What I call good old-fashioned recession. | ||
| Stagflation is slow growth with inflation, which is the combo platter you don't want. | ||
| It takes human action and agency, and that's what Biden did. | ||
| The illegitimate Biden regime got us into this. | ||
| What's your call, though, right now, as you see it? | ||
| When we actually head into what's more of a traditional reset, we're already in a bear market. You called that Where where are we as certain segments are in bear market? | ||
| Um, where are we as far as you're calling a recession? | ||
| Steve we'll probably hit that by the end of 2022 If for no other reason now that consumers are dissaving meaning Um in order to maintain their style of life, they're dipping into their savings and if you just track that out in time Towards the the end of this year that goes away | ||
| And then people will really start to tighten up, so consumption will drop out of the market. | ||
| So it'll be initially an investment-led recession, and then consumption will come in behind it. | ||
| To be clear, stagflation in the traditional 1970s term meant technically a recession plus inflation. | ||
| That's what we had. | ||
| In the 70s, the coming of Obama and Biden in 08 brought us a new kind of nuance where even though we didn't have That's what gave rise to Donald Trump in terms of economic policy. | ||
| We're reverting to the Obama-Biden mean now. | ||
| So for me, it doesn't technically matter whether the growth is 0.1 or minus 0.1 technically in a recession. | ||
| It's going to be very, very painful to people because even as growth is slowing down, Steve, here's the punchline. | ||
| Inflation is going to be eating away at people's purchasing power and their life. | ||
| So it's going to, even if it's positive growth a little bit, it's going to feel like a recession. | ||
| So there's two answers to that question. | ||
| By the way, the consensus I got from some pretty smart guys, they're a little ahead of you given how out of control things seem and the policymaking doesn't seem like it's coordinated at all. | ||
| They're actually thinking it could happen between Memorial Day and Labor Day, sometime maybe over the summer. | ||
| You could actually get into negative growth rates. | ||
| So anyway, not particularly great forecast. | ||
| And Jim Cramer just told us a couple weeks ago, greatest economy in his life. | ||
| But remember, Steve, the last gasp before the election Is this 1.5 trillion dollar spending bill. | ||
| They're going to try one more Keynesian throw. | ||
| And that's why it's such a so egregious for friggin Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy to buy into this whole whole bill, because it's basically a gift to the Democrats leading into November. | ||
| So, you know, we'll see who's right on this one. | ||
| But either way, 2022, the recession. | ||

Okay. | |
| Thank you, Dr. Peter. | ||
| But, real quickly, how'd they get you on Getter? | ||
| Because you're, you're, you're literally, you're like... Real Peanut Barrow, uh, it's the, yeah, Real Peanut Barrow, it's the Twitter killer. | ||
| Get on Getter. | ||
| Everybody sign up for that and, uh, and get rolling on that. | ||
| Thank you, sir. | ||
| Okay, I want to go, we've had the MyPatriot guys on here to talk about, and we understand for them, you're lighting the phone lines up, talking to the people there to find out about how you need to get ahead of all this madness. | ||
| The Birch Gold guys saying you're doing the same thing. | ||
| I want to bring in the satellite phone guys, because I tell you, where we're headed now, I think all bets could be off, and you know, these satellite phones are a different level than even these Great new cell phones are coming out. | ||
| I want to bring in Chris Hoare. | ||
| We had him on a couple weeks ago. | ||
| And this is, and by the way, Chris, you should know, as soon as I held this up, the guys in Denver that really produced, or guys that help us produce the show every day, they're fantastic. | ||
| Although, I'm always yelling at them, right? | ||
| They're actually a great crew. | ||
| They said as soon as they saw it, hey, you got to ship some out to us. | ||
| Why do people need a satellite? | ||
| In today's time, when you got war there, you got inflation, things are out of control, wheat's going up. | ||
| Why do I need a satellite phone? | ||
| Why do I need it? | ||
| I got enough problems. | ||
| Don't I just need a secure cell phone? | ||
| Why do I need to buy this bulky, you know, this thing right here? | ||
| Why do you need it? | ||
| Tell me why I need it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, the main reason, Steve, is that it's going to work when your cell phone doesn't. | |
| And look, we see the Russians already attacking infrastructure in the Ukraine, taking out power, taking out the Internet, taking out the cell phone towers. | ||
| And that leaves the people there with nothing. | ||
| And so I guess who's been the biggest customer in the last two weeks? | ||
| It's been Ukraine. | ||
| We've been shipping thousands of phones out there. | ||
| So these guys can stay connected and keep in communication with each other and coordinate what they're doing. | ||
| And as a result, we're actually sold out of satellite phones across this country. | ||
| And it's going to be weeks or months before any more available. | ||
| So we talked about this before, that there is a shortage because of the supply chain and the lack of components. | ||
| We do have an alternative, the Bivy, which you see in my background here. | ||
| The Bivy is about the size of a pack of cigarettes. | ||
| It's very light, and it enables you to connect. | ||
| This connects to your cell phone with a little Bivy app, and then you can send and receive text messages via satellite from anywhere on Earth to anywhere on Earth for 50 bucks a month. | ||
| But that's all we have left right now. | ||
| Hey, I want to just go back to when we talk about cyber warfare, which is part of hybrid and unrestricted warfare. | ||
| One of the first things they try to take down is the ability to communicate communications on with cell phones. | ||
| Is that correct, sir? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's correct. | |
| Yeah, because why wouldn't they, right? | ||
| They want to make sure that nobody has any information. | ||
| Nobody can communicate and defend themselves or whatever. | ||
| And so that's why they don't want the cell phone. | ||
| So the satellite phone networks are the only way around that. | ||
| And a satellite phone like you have right there is going to work no matter what, anywhere in the world, no matter what the Russians or anyone else are doing. | ||
| Okay, I want to take a short break. | ||
| Can you hang on a second? | ||
| We've got a packed second hour, and we're going to get back. | ||
| We've got some domestic politics. | ||
| We've got some of the economics of the vaccines. | ||
| We've got some explosive information coming out of Florida. | ||
| We've also got a former, one of the great writers, a columnist at Forbes that was kicked off because of an expose he was doing. | ||
| We've got all this. | ||
| Boris is going to join us with some political polling that we've got to get to. | ||
| I'm going to ask Chris Hoare from the satellite phone store to hang on for a second. | ||
| I've got a couple more questions to ask him. | ||
| Short commercial break. |
