That number would be for the PPI final demand.
It took a while to come in.
It did come in.
11.2%.
The expectation was 10.6%.
We are seeing markets respond somewhat in the way you would expect, with yields up slightly.
Not a massive reaction, but still, we are seeing the S&P futures erase gains, and we're looking right now at a market with a new inflationary dynamic affecting the pipeline, as you said.
11.2%, Mike.
Can you put that into perspective?
Well, it's the most since 2010, which is better, I suppose, than the 1981 number from yesterday, although they changed the PPI calculations around that time, so we don't go as far back.
But it does just suggest that there are still strong pipeline pressures, which doesn't surprise anybody, given the fact that we're seeing all kinds of interruptions to supply lines and interruptions to agriculture from the war.
steve bannon
This is all gobbledygook and trying to protect it.
11.2%.
This is the highest in history.
This is what the Biden administration has done.
This is the producer price index.
This is all going to roll through the consumer price.
He's heard the consumer price yesterday, but this doesn't calculate what's going to take place now that you got the 11.2% on the producer price.
This is insanity.
Insanity.
And I got to tell you, we are in uncharted waters.
Not even territory, waters.
And these waters are going to be deep and they're going to be swift.
And everybody better Just, you know, when we talk to you about gold, we talk to you about crypto, we give you all this information.
You got to make the decisions yourself.
Go online, go to Birch Gold, go to the crypto, learn as much as you have to learn, because this is not going to get better.
And this is directly related to the illegal, illegitimate government we have here now that stole the election.
Elections have consequences, stolen elections have catastrophic consequences, and this is catastrophic.
We got so much news we're breaking today.
We're going to get to it all, all the way from Union Station where illegal aliens are being dumped off, and of course Catholic Charities taking your second collection and getting them train tickets from up north.
Hope all the liberals in New York City and in Rhode Island and Connecticut like the illegal aliens that are coming your way, thanks to Catholic Charities giving them tickets.
Let's go to Peter Navarro.
Peter has called in Not even near his studio.
Peter, you called this a month or so ago.
You said, hey, watch the producer price index because this thing's going to start to explode and then it's just hang on for dear life.
Peter Navarro, what does this mean today?
peter navarro
It's catastrophic.
The producer price index is basically all the wholesale activity that takes out.
And generally, not always, but generally whatever you see The producer price index moves forward eventually into the consumer price index.
It's kind of like if you're using like processed grain to make bread, right?
And the grain itself goes up in price.
Pretty soon that loaf of bread on the shelf goes up in price.
Now, the fact that here's what's going on, Steve.
We've got this confluence of bad Biden policy shocks.
Intersecting with bad pandemic shocks, many of which are derived from Biden bad policy shocks.
Like, what do I mean by all of that?
It's like the mother of all problems begins with the war on energy.
You know, Trump's strategic energy dominance, energy independence, kept prices low and secure.
As soon as Biden went in and did the Green New Deal, canceled leases, canceled Cancel the pipeline.
We returned very quickly, it's important, very quickly, Steve, to being hostages of the Russians, the Iranians, the Saudis, the Venezuelans, OPEC, right?
And that leads over to food because fertilizer is largely petroleum-based, right?
So you've got to start there with that structural problem.
It would be easy To get our frackers going again, full bore, if there were a firm policy commitment.
But that's not going to happen.
So there's a problem.
The second issue is, you know, the Pete Buttigieg problem with the mismanagement of our transportation lanes and all our supply chains.
The third policy problem is the Fauci lockdown syndrome, where we did untold damage To our labor markets, our small businesses, through our lockdown policies, which are still not over.
And on top of all that, you've got the kindle of the trillion-dollar repeated expenditures on Capitol Hill.
And as you and I talked about yesterday, Steve, the Federal Reserve is a one-trick pony.
It can only solve one problem at a time, either inflation or recession.
So it's going to go full bore trying to cure inflation, but what it's going to do is kill the economy, and we're going to have the mother of all recession.
steve bannon
But hang on a second.
Joe Manchin is there yesterday, and he didn't even see the producer price.
He's talking about the consumer price.
His head's got to be blown up twice as much right now.
This administration, the problem is half measures.
Half measures at the Fed, both on the balance sheet of the Fed and on the interest rates.
Now they've changed a little bit on the balance sheet.
Balance sheet of the Fed and interest rates in the administration.
Spending, regulation, the Buttigieg situation.
Think about it.
If they'd done Build Back Better, these people are so irresponsible.
If they'd done this crap on this $3.5, $4 trillion additional Build Back Better, the country would be gone, be done.
It'd be Weimar Republic, hyperinflation, Peter Navarro.
peter navarro
Yeah, but they've already done untold damage.
I mean, it's like, even without that, it's trillions upon trillions upon trillions.
And Steve, if it were targeted, At things that we're going to boost our productivity and bring our jobs home, that would be a structural good thing to calm things down.
But that's not what's going on.
I mean, if you look at the sequence of events, right, it's pretty clear, you know, the pandemic from China and Fauci from Wuhan comes along and and we get the lockdowns, we get the disruptions and fragilities in our supply chain.
That's a that's an exogenous shock in and of itself.
Which drives the economy away from efficient equilibriums, and we start to breed these kind of both stagflationary pressures in the economy.
And so to fix it, quote unquote, Biden comes in with these, like, mega misdirected trillions of dollars of packages that begins to ignite inflation, and the Fed Basically, you didn't make the mistake saying that it was transitory.
That was a flat-out lie, okay?
Let's be clear about that.
Let's mark this, Steve.
Jerome Powell lied to the American public about inflation being transitory so he could keep interest rate policy loose so he could get reappointed to the Fed.
He wanted to be Biden's dove.
And because he was Biden's dove, they go, ooh, it's transitory, and now it's oops.
And so, on top of all this, we still have the lockdowns.
You know, Steve, this is really interesting.
the prime age labor market people you know the twenty five to fifty four-year-old men in this in this in this country right uh... usually in good times it's like ninety three percent of those folks are Right now, we're down to about 85%, meaning that there's 5 million, 5 million able-bodied men out of the workforce.
And why?
Because they're picking up government checks, because they're whacked out on opioids, or because they can't get a decent manufacturing job.
And that's, on top of everything else, part of the problem. That's a Biden problem. So look, people are going to get really angry.
They should throw the rascals out in 22, get Trump back in 24. But this is going to be like, this is going to be a retractable struggle.
steve bannon
Listen, Steve, hang on, take it over in 20...
Take it over in 22.
Remember, one of the smartest things Navarro told us yesterday is that, hey, when you go back and talk about 40 years back to 81, he said, hey, that was the culmination of about 5, 6, 7, 8 years.
We're at the top of the first inning of this thing.
And the incompetence you have among your bettors.
The modern monetary theory crowd on Wall Street and here spending, you know, a trillion and a half dollars to get another budget.
You've got to cut the defense budget.
Biden's over there right now.
We want to send, what, $800 million of arms over to Ukraine.
The defense contractors should not take a penny.
If we're going to send anything to Ukraine, there shouldn't be one penny of profit in that.
We've got to stop this madness.
You're going to destroy this country for future generations, and we are going to be cursed, and we should be cursed.
Navarro, where are you on Getter, brother, and then we'll get you on here tomorrow.
peter navarro
Twitter killer, Gary P. Navarro.
Reinforce that point.
This is the first inning of this stagflation problem.
It's as bad as it was at the end and the height.
of the 70s, early 80s stagflation problem and we're just getting started, brothers.
steve bannon
Ladies and gentlemen, hold it. Navar and I are older guys, so remember.
This is historic.
They've never had a number like 11242.
Don't tell the guy, oh, we're going to change the guy.
This is the highest in history.
The one yesterday is the highest since 1981.
These are historic.
peter navarro
Historic.
steve bannon
And up here in Capitol Hill, they're wandering around still trying to make excuses.
Oh, it's transitory.
They're not transitory.
Now, it's systemic.
Okay?
It's systemic.
Peter Navarro, we'll follow you on Getter, hope to get you back on the show tomorrow and get your lovely visage massaged next to our camera.
Okay brother, appreciate it.
We can go back into the library and pull, when Navarro's been worrying about this.
11.2, this is insanity.
It's insanity.
Do we have McCabe up?
We've got so many insane things that go through the day.
All signal, not noise.
In LA, they're targeting You know, we had offices, Bandit Company had offices in Beverly Hills, I think, for like 20 years.
Lived down on the beaches in South Bay.
Excuse me, South Beach, or South Bay.
Mo was raised there on the beaches.
That's how she learned to play volleyball.
They're now, the gangs are targeting people, all the wealthy.
In Beverly Hills.
Follow him home.
We got one of the gun store owners.
All the stars are coming in to buy all the guns now.
These people gave us the Hollywood values.
They gave us all the bad politicians and all the bad policies and now they're all concerned.
It takes a day and a half or however long it took, 29 hours to capture the guy in New York City, the shooter.
Of course, Eric Adams is taking credit for that.
I'm not going to give the police or the New Yorker that turned the guy in.
Keystone Cops, anarchy and chaos in our cities on the southern border.
It was performative.
In fact, Abbott, the White House is all over Abbott for taking foreign policy in the hand.
He's trying to do it.
He's shutting down commerce on the Texas border in Laredo.
We're going to get Benzema up here.
They had that meeting today.
But he's got the first bus arrived.
Let's go to McCabe.
We got McCabe.
McCabe, the first bus arrived on Capitol Hill from Texas, from the rear of Grand Valley with the illegal aliens and Catholic charities and all you Catholics out there, myself included, Your second collection, going to Catholic Charities right there.
They're buying them tickets, buying them train tickets.
Send them all over the country.
Just send them north up to Connecticut and Rhode Island, Massachusetts.
I'd like them to go to Cambridge.
Give them a ticket to Harvard University.
Let them go to Harvard Yard and camp out.
Neil McCabe.
unidentified
Hey, Steve.
You know, since 1907, Union Station has been the gateway welcoming people to Washington, D.C., and never has it been more true than today, when about 25 migrants got off that bus from Texas and caught a look at our nation's capital, as you see the tents of the homeless behind me, Steve.
steve bannon
This is, it's outrageous.
Now, first off, This is not to demonize these individual people, okay?
They're actually the most rational actors in this entire tragedy.
The most rational actors in the tragedy are two.
The cartels and the folks coming up from all over the world now.
Because they understand Biden's inviting them here, why wouldn't you come?
Hell, they're printing money like crazy, they're paying funny money, they're paying for everything.
I'd be irrational not to do it.
So the illegal aliens themselves are totally and completely irrational.
Their cartels are saying, these guys are our senior partners, let's do it.
unidentified
Let's just traffic everybody up north.
steve bannon
Now, I don't agree it's performative and it's optics to send illegal aliens up here to the Capitol, but they got on the bus and they're up here.
At first, we just thought it was just some joke that Abbott's doing.
They actually sent him up here.
And when they get off the bus, Catholic Charities got a ticket.
They're sending him up to Connecticut, New York, Rhode Island, and Hope, Harvard Yard.
Go to Cambridge.
In fact, I'll give you some extra money there.
Get him an extra ticket.
To Cambridge, let him go to Harvard Yard.
Let him sit right there in Cambridge with all the professors.
All the great dons.
McCabe, you hang right there.
Neil McCabe at Union Station.
We got, uh, Bensman.
We got Berquam.
We're talking about this.
We got the gun owners, the gun shop owner, Beverly Hills.
Uh, Yunkins fired the entire school board over at, uh, over in Loudoun County.
We got people, we got the good guys who are gonna run for those seats.
All of it, strap in.
unidentified
in you're in the war room.
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide.
War Room Pandemic.
Here's your host Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
Okay, MyPillow.com promo code War Room.
Up to 60% off the Giza Dream Sheets.
They're as low as $39.99.
And of course, the pillow's as low as $19.99.
It's the big spring sale.
You need a great night's sleep.
Not a good night's sleep.
You need a great night's sleep to man the ramparts at the War Room.
And man the ramparts, we must.
11.2% producer price index.
unidentified
11.2%.
steve bannon
The, wait for it, highest in history.
Highest in history.
This is the way republics end.
This is the way republics end.
Not done by you, not done by the deplorables, not done by... This is a combination of this Wall Street monetary theory crowd, the woke economist, right?
The Uniparty up here, the administration, the Federal Reserve.
And you've seen it.
And everybody's happy because they can pay for everything.
You got Abbott sending the buses up here, just dumping them off here at the Capitol.
It's optics.
It's performative.
I got it.
But everybody thinks it's not.
Remember, we're not demonizing the individual people.
They're actually the rational actors in this tragedy.
It's not a drama.
It's a tragedy.
The two rational actors are the cartels who are making more money than have ever made in their entire lives, trafficking those people to northern Mexico and to our southern border.
Remember, Biden, because money's just unlimited, things print money, $800 million in arms today to Ukraine because they're so concerned.
The Atlanticists and the globalists and people here in this city, the imperial capital, they're concerned.
Paramount in their mind is the sovereignty, the territorial integrity, and the self-determination in Ukraine, the Eastern Russian-speaking border Ukraine.
Not thinking about the sovereignty, the territorial integrity, and the self-determination of the Rio Grande Valley in South Texas, or how about the sovereignty of Beverly Hills, California?
How do you think those folks feel today?
Although, all those Democrats, liberal Democrats out there, you brought this on yourself, okay?
You brought it on yourself.
And of course, you gotta go to the gun store owner, Russell Stewart, we're gonna have him in a minute.
He's gotta save you.
You gotta go to Fort Apache to be saved.
Neal McCabe.
Here's what I need, Neal.
I need the interview you guys did with Catholic Charities.
Catholic Charities is the villain here, okay?
Because they're the guys taking money from the government.
They're exacerbating this entire problem, and now they've given tickets.
I want every liberal in Rhode Island.
Hey, Rhode Island, you just lost the congressional seat because you're shrinking population because you're too liberal state, right?
These tickets are to New Jersey, to New York, to Connecticut, to Rhode Island.
Hey, deal with it.
Neal McCabe.
unidentified
Yeah, Catholic Charities, as you said, Steve, was out here passing out those tickets to send them north, and they told us that they actually were sending people down to Florida.
So, you know, they were here to, I guess, thwart Abbott's plan to have them settle here in Washington, D.C.
as sort of performance art, like you said.
But absolutely, Catholic Charities is the strategic partner.
They're like American coyotes, Steve.
steve bannon
No, terrible.
Neil McCabe, we're going to get that interview from you.
You're at Union Station.
Thank you very much for the tremendous reporting from the Star News Network.
Do we have Ben Burquham?
Let's bring up Ben Burquham.
I'm going to get Todd, and I got Burquham and Todd.
So Todd, let me go to you first, because I got Jen Psaki putting out a statement from the White House saying how Abbott, remember the performative part is the buses up to with a handful of migrants, illegal aliens to the Capitol.
The real kahuna is he's taken really stepped in front of the US government because they're exacerbating the invasion and he's gone to economic warfare to say, hey, guess what?
No trucks are coming across through Laredo or anyplace else until we get this thing sorted.
Tell us what happened today, Todd Bensman.
todd bensman
Well, I think that we now are able to fully see the strategy behind the bridges, the Texas Hold'em Bridges strategy.
The governor had a press conference today with the governor of Nuevo Leon, which is right across from Laredo there, the busiest bridge in the country, and they cut a deal.
The Mexican governor said that they would patrol and increase security on their side of the river to stop illegal immigration.
Now, mind you, Governor Abbott never said, hey, we're going to do this until you secure your side of the border against illegal immigration.
But that's what the deal was.
And as a reward, Abbott immediately ceased the safety inspections on only that bridge.
So the bridges that adjoin the other Mexican states are still gummed up.
They are not going to stop those.
They're going to gum those up until one by one by one, these governors agree to police their side of the river, to shut it down with from, this is important, illegal immigration, illegal immigration on their side of the river.
Now, I don't know what the details of that are.
Like, what does that mean?
We know that the states have a significant state police with You know, lots of equipment and paddy wagons and detention facilities and, you know, heavily armed, you know, officers who are capable of rounding people up and moving them somewhere.
But I don't know what the details of that are, and often the devil is in the details, as we know.
steve bannon
But hang on, by the way, Laredo is the biggest in the country, right?
It's 2.6 million vehicles a year.
This is not a small thing.
It's a big thing.
But is his definition of illegal immigration include asylum?
Because everybody that's coming up is claiming asylum.
They're not here to illegally immigrate.
They're here saying, hey, Biden's invited us.
You know, I've got problems at home.
They're picking on me at home.
I got political issues at home.
I'm here for political asylum.
So is their definition of illegal immigration include all the asylum seekers?
Because if not, then how does that help us?
todd bensman
Well, it helps us this way.
You're totally right.
The key to the mass migration crisis that we're having right now is nothing more than the access to American asylum, which means you have to step foot on U.S.
soil.
And then you can commit fraud to your heart's content and get into the country.
But if the Mexicans on their side are preventing them from stepping foot on our side, then You know, that's not an issue, right?
They're not here to claim asylum.
The Mexicans are transporting them somewhere else, where I'm going to find out.
So if that actually happens and they're doing roundups down there, and I've seen them do it.
I know the Mexican, the state police, I've seen them do roundups in towns.
They go hotel to hotel.
They rouse people out.
They don't have the same rules that we have over on this side.
They throw them into paddy wagons and they take them to the airport, a Mexican airport, and they fly them down to Tapachula.
If that's what they've got in mind here, we don't have to ever worry about those people doing asylum, at least until they can come back.
steve bannon
Do you think Abbott has created the ultimate Remain in Mexico program?
todd bensman
If this works, it's a first time ever.
I mean, it's extraordinary to me that with three or four Texas state troopers, they could arm twist a Mexican governor into policing up the illegals on their side of the border with no Biden.
No wonder the White House is pissed off about this.
steve bannon
Talk to me about the statement.
Now, here's something that's actually working.
And the reason the governor and the regional governors doing it is that all of his commercial, all his commerce depends upon getting the trucks across that border.
This is Economic Warfare 101.
Tell me what our brilliant Jen Psaki, in between her negotiating her deal to be the wingman for Joanne Reed here every night, right?
That ought to be a dynamic duo.
Joanne Reed and Jen Psaki.
That's an hour TV I don't want to miss, okay?
Do you have the White House statement in front of you?
Here's a governor that's actually taking action to try to thwart this invasion, and I'm no Abbott fan.
I don't like the buses up here, but I love what he did at the border.
Say what our brilliant folks in the White House said about this.
Todd Benson.
unidentified
Right.
todd bensman
Well, I mean, it's pretty standard stuff.
They're just pointing out That the Texas Hold'em strategy at the bridges is creating all kinds of pain, unnecessary pain for Americans, gumming up the supply chain, driving up further inflationary pressures and that sort of thing.
It's just the usual.
I mean, it's a one page thing right here.
But the point is that it was the governor of Mexico, I think his name is Sepulveda, Uh, he, the reason he did, he complied like this is because the business owners on his side went to him begging, please make this stop.
unidentified
I mean, please make this stop.
todd bensman
And now the next one, there's four other, uh, governors down there, uh, Tom Olipas, Coahuila, uh, that, that, uh, that adjoined Texas.
And I think the idea is that they really need the top, The Tamaulipas governor, because that state adjoins southern Texas.
That's where the vast majority are coming through.
So we'll see next, does the governor of Tamaulipas bend?
Because that bridge down there in far Reynosa, the far Reynosa bridge is completely shut down.
The truckers on the Mexican side shut off traffic to US trucks.
So now nobody's coming over that bridge.
It's dead.
steve bannon
Good.
That's what we want.
Instead of saying Putin's inflation, they're going to say the Mexican inflation.
You're nothing but a bunch of liars.
You did this yourselves.
Real quickly, Todd, how do people get to you on social media?
todd bensman
T. Benzman at Getter.
BenzmanTodd at Twitter.
steve bannon
You've done an amazing job on this, brother.
We're going to get all over this.
Abbott's actually done some good here.
We got Burquam.
We got Russell Stewart, the Beverly Hills gun owner, gun shop owner.
We're saving all the liberals out there.
And of course, we've got the Loudoun County School Board.
Can't get any better.
todd bensman
What a great day.
steve bannon
What a great day to be an American.
Next, in The War Room.

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.
steve bannon
Hey, welcome back.
By the way, one of our War Room Engine Room personnel just sent me.
Jen Psaki just said, wait for it, the view is that the inflation is still transitory.
That's the hill that Jen Psaki is going to die on.
It's transitory inflation.
Don't look at the 11.2% producer price.
Don't believe the consumer price.
This is all transitory.
It's going to go away.
She says all prominent economists say it's going to go away by the end of the year.
I don't think so, ma'am.
But take that William & Mary degree and let's see how it works for you as wingman for Joanne Reed.
Can't wait for that show.
That's an hour of excruciating TV.
I cannot wait to watch every night.
Okay, the sooner you're gone, the better, because I think you're lies, misrepresentations, incompetence, even for an illegitimate regime, and that's what the Biden regime is.
Okay, Ben Berquam, the great investigative reporter of Real America's Voice.
Ben, you were down there.
You have done, with Oscar and Auden and the whole crew, Michael Yeun, have done the best job of all media being down there on this entire thing.
And you have told us that when folks get the papers down in Tapachula, when they get the internal passport or whatever it is in Mexico, their papers in Mexico, they can go all the way up to El Norte.
They can go to the northern border and cross over as an asylum seeker.
This is how they get through.
We just had the governor tell us that he's stopping all illegal immigration, quote unquote.
So how are you going to find out if the scam is, because the trucks are going to start coming across now, the commerce is going to start going again.
They say, hey, we have a deal.
But if they're not stopping the guys with papers, then this is a joke.
Is that not correct?
Ben Berquam.
ben bergquam
That's exactly correct, Steve.
That's what we've been told.
We're going to make sure that that's still the truth.
Last week we were down there on the Mexico side, right across from Yuma, and the same thing is being said by the Mexican immigration officials.
They're right there, the corresponding to the U.S.
immigration officials and border patrol.
They're right across the river.
And they're basically saying as long as people have their transitory paperwork, there's nothing they can do.
Just keep in mind, the same radical leftist activist groups that are in America, you mentioned Catholic Charities, but there's 100 other ones that are here.
The ACLU, it should be the AACLU, Anti-American Civil Liberties Union, they're down in Mexico.
The same organizations, their correspondent organizations in Mexico suing the Mexican government, the most corrupt government in the world to not allow this to happen.
So everything we see from the Mexican government is, it's shadow and mirrors, it's deflection and distraction.
It's the same thing we've seen with their National Guard.
They post them up.
The Federal Border Patrol moves one way.
steve bannon
It's like we cut the deal with the Marines.
Let's be blunt.
Let's have an adult conversation.
The seven families in Mexico are some of the most corrupt families on earth.
They've got the phony Catholic faith and all that stuff.
They've stolen all that money from the Mexican people to be led by Carlos Slim.
These are demons.
The seven families that run the country and the whole government from top to bottom is totally corrupt.
Federal rallies are corrupt.
You have some good people down there and that's what makes them such great.
You have law enforcement.
Some people stand up against the cartels and the corruption and that's why they're such heroes.
But tell me some local government's got some deal and that this is going to happen.
We've got to find the receipts, and Ben Burquam, Oscar, and Alden are going to find the receipts, because this is just, oh, we're stopping the illegal immigrants.
But if you've got the papers, that's different.
You can get the asylum and go now.
If they've stopped it all, God bless Governor Abbott.
I totally flipped my opinion on him.
He's cracked the case.
So Ben, when is this going to start, and when are you guys going to go find out?
When are you coming off vacation, Burquam?
We've got to stop going around.
ben bergquam
When are you going to stop going around?
Hey, we're on the road.
We're on the road.
I've got to tell you.
Steve, this is important.
We take the information we got down there.
We're up in Hot Springs, Arkansas right now.
We're going to have a massive crowd up here.
We're going to be telling them the truth that the mainstream media doesn't tell them, and hearing back from the people.
That's what Real America's Voice is all about.
But we've got the team down there.
steve bannon
I love Hot Springs.
I love Hot Springs, Arkansas.
It's one of the great resorts in the world.
As soon as you're coming off vacation, Ben, I'm cool with that.
I just need you to back down.
I need you in northern Mexico.
Getting the truth.
ben bergquam
We are there.
steve bannon
Getting the truth.
We're everywhere.
There's no investigating reporting in Hot Springs.
Of course, Clinton criminality.
Ben, how do people... The second episode of the show is up tomorrow night, right?
Or Saturday night?

That's right.
It's going to be Saturday night, right after your show, 6 p.m.
Eastern Time, Law & Border, our next episode.
You don't want to miss it.
It'll be right after your show.
It's going to be amazing.
And you can always get me at Real America's Voice, americasvoice.news, frontlineamerica.com, and at Ben Berquam.
steve bannon
Okay, Ben, fantastic job.
I'm just teasing.
We can't wait to you and the team down there, but Ben Berquam is going to get the receipts.
It's either, if it's real, this is amazing.
If it's not real, it's another bait-and-switch, but I think Abbott's at least, here's what we know is a pressure point, and Jen Psaki and you clowns, we know a pressure point is stopping the trucks coming north.
The business guys down there go to the guys, hey, were you nuts?
We got to get these things over until En Lorte.
Ben Berquam, thank you so much.
Fantastic.
Do we have a clip?
unidentified
Yes, sir.
steve bannon
Okay, hang on.
We got a couple of special guests.
They came up at the last second.
It's fabulous.
I'm so proud of Denver and our production team and these folks.
We got a clip in LA.
Let's play that and we'll bring in Russell Stewart.

Security cam video in downtown LA catches another violent robbery Monday.
Robbers smashed the car window of a woman who had just left a watch repair shop and was stopped at a light near 8th Street.
As she tries to run, the suspects chase her down in their car.
Hitting her seconds later, she throws her expensive watch in a last-ditch effort to give them what they want.
Outrageous display of arrogance on the part of these criminals that think that they can just Run amok in our city and terrorize our citizens.
steve bannon
No, sir.
That would be arrogance.
They run the cities.
Now the gangs are targeting the wealthy, whether they go to restaurants or shops or whatever.
And Russell Stewart owns what, force protection?
He's a gun shop owner.
In the area, now all the Hollywood stars, all the elites are coming in and need guns.
They need to protect themselves.
Russell Stewart, can you tell us what's going on with the criminality out of control, the anarchy and chaos in Beverly Hills in L.A.?
unidentified
For sure.
Thanks for having me on, Steve.
It's, I mean, it's absolute madness.
I mean, we've got crimes happening on a consistent basis, violent crimes.
They're going after high-end jewelry stores.
They're going after people who are wearing nice watches and driving nice cars.
I mean, that's what Beverly Hills is.
And gun sales are showing it.
People are terrified.
These criminals are getting, you know, they're putting cuffs on them, and district attorneys like George Gascon are putting them right back out onto the street.
So we have a real problem here, and we do not have leadership that seems to care about it.
steve bannon
So here, just describe to people.
Now, because the guy on the clip said the arrogance Once again, it's like the illegal aliens coming up here.
The gang people are actually very rational actors, are they not?
They're seeing that they don't, they've got this no bail thing, the gas gun lets them right back out on the street.
There's not enough cops to, there could never be enough cops if people just, they're taking over.
When social civic order breaks down and that's what you're seeing, it's anarchy.
So the criminals are actually rational actors.
They're seeing the possibility of big returns on their effort.
Is that not the case, Russell?
unidentified
I mean, absolutely.
I mean, just look at the smash and grab robbery that happened here on South Beverly Drive in Beverly Hills a few weeks ago.
You had a team of people stole a car out of Long Beach, which is about 30 miles away, parked it out front of the jewelry store, left all four doors open to kind of show that they're all going to go back to the car.
They use sledgehammers.
They stood out on the sidewalk, so they did not enter into the premises, so they know that the shop owner cannot use deadly force to protect property, stayed outside, smashed and grabbed, got $5 million worth of goods, and then took off into a getaway car that was waiting on another street.
I mean, that was incredibly planned, incredibly smart, executed beautifully, and I hate to give these people props, but the biggest kicker is that they know that if they get caught, nothing's gonna happen to them.
And that's our biggest problem.
steve bannon
But isn't that also the people in Beverly Hills that continue to vote these people in and give money to all these causes?
And, you know, the rest of the country is going to sit there and look.
Any crime, and particularly when you have armed robberies, can turn into people getting injured and killed.
And the folks in Beverly Hills, I mean, you kind of brought this on yourself, because you have supported guys like Gascon.
This is where all the big fundraisers, they go to these wealthy enclaves of progressive Democrats.
And progressive Democrats don't have any problem when the problems are in the Rio Grande Valley, when the problems are in South Central LA, when the problems are with minority communities.
They're living high on the hog.
They could care less.
But when Hollywood panics, that's when they come to you.
And also, they're all anti-gun until they need a gun.
I have a very, I would say, A-list clientele.
your business and you don't need to name names, but I take it some of the more prominent wealthy people and stars are coming to your place begging for weapons?
unidentified
I have a very, I would say, A-list clientele.
Definitely I have a lot of people that are anti-gun who are now gun owners, but in the end public safety, it affects everyone.
We actually have a lot of conversations in this room about how people vote and why they do and, and, you know, cancel culture and public pressure and, you know, and all those things.
So yeah, I don't, I don't want to say that I understand it, but obviously California has got a very different kind of mix of people and I try and educate them and say, look, your vote matters.
If you vote these people in and you vote these, these crazy people like George Gascon who's got some mathematical equation that says that if you let all these criminals out back on the street, everything's going to be fantastic.
Well obviously that's a completely ridiculous statement.
The proof's in the pudding.
People are terrifying.
They're flocking into gun shops like mine to buy weapons because they believe that they're going to be next.
And when you have people like Chief Moore from LAPD, his statement was, well, don't wear your watch.
Leave your nice car at home.
That's making the victim to blame.
You know, there's no If you have a nice watch and you've earned that from your career, and you want to go out and wear it and show it off, that should be who we are protecting.
We should be protecting the citizens, not protecting these criminals, and that is exactly what they're doing.
steve bannon
When you're having these conversations with folks, and they're obviously in a vulnerable time, they're trying to get weapons to make sure they can protect themselves, which is, you know, think about that for a second in a place like Beverly Hills.
Do they understand it's not just their vote, but their support for these type of progressive DAs and these progressive politicians that have led to the place where a guy saying, you can't wear your watch, you can't wear your nice clothes, your wife can't go out and shop by herself, she's got to have security.
Do they make that link that one leads to the other?
unidentified
I mean, honestly, many of them do.
I mean, because if you have made the choice to come into the gun shop now to buy a gun and you're a staunch liberal anti-gun person, you obviously know that someone's going to call you out on that.
Now, my business is private.
I'm in a private location.
So people can come in on an appointment basis and be here on their own.
So they will not be seen.
But that being said, we also have conversations here and I call people out.
I've called out people that, you know, celebrities that, you know, that You've seen their films, you've seen their TV shows, and I've said to them, why aren't you out there supporting this right that you are actually doing in my room right now?
And many of them say, because I don't want to get cancelled myself.
I want to be able to get that next role and I'm not going to if I support this.
Even though most of their movies and TV shows, they're all carrying guns.
Um, you know, and that's how they make their living.
But we try our best to just spread the Second Amendment, show people that, you know, it's their right to protect themselves, and, uh, you know, hopefully I've been able to change, you know, a few liberals' minds to say, look, your vote matters.
June 7th is L.A.
City election, and then, of course, our midterm elections.
We need to get these people out, and we need to get like-minded and rational people back into office.
steve bannon
Uh, Russell, how—are you on social media?
How can people follow you, or can they follow you?
unidentified
They can follow me at my account, which is at Russell Stewart across all social media, and at Beverly Hills Guns.
steve bannon
Thank you for doing this, and we look forward to having you back on.
And by the way, you're doing a massive public service.
What you're doing is a huge, huge public service.
So, Russell, thank you very much.
Hero and Patriot, thank you for doing this, brother.
unidentified
I appreciate it, Steve.
Thanks so much.
steve bannon
That's a profile in courage right there.
The profile in courage to come forward and say, hey, I want to tell this story.
Think about two great cities.
I've lived in both of them.
New York City and L.A.
This is what this nation has come to.
This is what this nation has come to.
Our forefathers would look down on us and say, you guys, this is, it's an embarrassment.
It's an embarrassment.
That's why the Warren Posse stands in the breach.

Everybody in the audience has got to get it to find about Fauci.
We just got word it got back on the New York Times bestseller list because of the War Room Posse.
Also it's announced President Trump's putting $500,000 into the Georgia campaign off of the interests of the war in Posse.
And he's going to back, he's going to put, there are people associated with it that are going to put some real money in the Georgia campaign.

Dr. Tony Fauci.
Okay.
Glenn Youngkin, I want to bring in.
The Daily Mail's got a huge story.
Tiffany Peflofko.
We've had Tiffany on so many times before.
Tiffany, what's happened?
Is the governor firing the entire school board in Loudoun County because social-emotional learning, CRT, all that, what you guys have been fighting for?
Is he getting rid of all of them?
Are those seats open?
And are the great men and women we've had on the show, are they going to run for those seats?
unidentified
Hi, Steve.
Thanks so much for having me back on.
Basically what has happened is Governor Glenn Youngkin has put the Loudoun County School Board on notice.
And he has done this through an amendment that he's put forth that would allow for all nine school board members to be up for election this fall.
At this point it's only supposed to be two of them, but it would put nine of them up for election.
And what this is doing is creating quite a stir amongst those school board members who now want to self congratulate and talk about how much they value the children and their families.
And that if they were to lose the opportunity to continue their term for one more year, as they are supposed to, then that would be undermining elections.
And I find it absurd that someone like school board member Atusa Resor wants to talk about undermining elections when she is one of the school board members that voted to keep our children masked after Len Yunkins executive order came out in January.
So we've got three strikes here really since 2019.
Three strikes amongst the list of many that I don't have enough time to go over right now on this segment.
But those three strikes are two sexual assaults that were covered up by this school board.
Voting to continue to mask our children 8 to 1 after Governor Glenn Youngkin's executive order came out in January, putting that power back into the parents' hands and allowing them to make the decision about whether they chose to send their children to school and mask or not.
And number three is gaslighting parents and telling them that there was no critical race theory being taught.
So those are three big ones.
Parents are awake and they know exactly what's going on.
And I find it just hilarious now that these school board members want to back up And like I said, self-congratulate and talk about how much they care about the children and what's best for the families.
And it's an absolute joke, Steve.
An absolute joke.
steve bannon
That's why I talk about the destruction of the Democratic Party as a national political institution.
It starts at the scoreboards, goes all the way up.
I can't give the governor a bigger hat tip than what he's done here.
Let him come out and face the voters.
Let him tell them how much they love him.
Also, remember, it was Loudoun County that was really the first they said the domestic terrorism aspect.
That you guys, Tiffany, you guys are just a bunch of brigands.
You're a bunch of domestic terrorists.
You go in there, your terror, think about that for a second, you folks for standing up for your children, the poison that's going into their minds, the masks that are on their faces, the forced vaccinations, all of it, for you people stand up for your families and your children, moms in this country, domestic terrorists.
I think it's fantastic.
Tiffany, just tell me you're gonna run for one of these seats.
unidentified
At this time, I don't have a plan to run, but I am excited about The charge that's coming forth with this, because especially now, think about it.
If this ends up going through and an additional seven seats open up for the school board, look at what that does for our county and how that's going to fire people up even more.
I mean, it's it's great now that we've got two seats open for the fall, but look at look at what that will do potentially.
And, you know, I think it's I just I just laugh.
I just sit here and laugh because if these school board members are so sure about the good that they're doing for children and their families, Well, then they should have nothing to worry about, right?
Because wouldn't they get reelected if they're doing such a phenomenal job as they say they're doing?
steve bannon
They love democracy so much every night on TV, just how much they love democracy and you're anti-democracy.
Now, how about this?
Let's have some democracy at the Loudoun County.
All of all nine.
Let's we'll go full democracy.
And we'll see on the evening of that.
We'll see this November who's who actually wins and who has those seats and who doesn't.
Let's go full democracy.
We're big believers in the democratic process, as long as you're counting legal votes, right?
Tiffany, are people jacked up out there right now about what a smart move this is?
This will be a national event.
Daily Mail's already got a huge story up in it right now, a global event.
Tell us how jacked up people are.
unidentified
Oh yeah, I mean absolutely.
You're talking about a school board that is known internationally It's not even known just in the United States, but this is a school board that's known internationally and not for good reasons.
But I'd also like to pivot for just a moment and tell you that with PACS, Parents Against Critical Theory, the founder, Scott Mineo, has ventured into sort of a new direction with making sure that parents and community members in Virginia, and you know, obviously in Loudon County in particular, are very aware of Who their elected officials are and who's up and coming.
So he has, and some other individuals in the county, have worked together to sort of form a really neat kind of niche, a group called Virginia Overwatch.
And what they're doing is they're culling information, they're collecting information about potential candidates.
So in District 10, we've got Jennifer Wexton, you know, running for Congress, Democratic position.
And they're pulling out all of the truth, all of the facts about her and putting it into a neat little, you know, they've got a website, they've got social media that people can go to and find all this information right at their fingertips so they don't have to go out and search it for themselves.
steve bannon
Virginia overwatch.
We'll put up the social media and all of it in the next segment.
Okay, short commercial break.
We're packed in the next hour.
Tiffany, thank you so much.
Loudoun County, all of them are going to be up.
