Well the virus has now killed more than a hundred people in China and new cases have been confirmed around the world. | |
| You don't want to frighten the American public. | ||
| France and South Korea have also got evacuation plans. | ||
| But you need to prepare for and assume. | ||
| Broadly warning Americans to avoid all non-essential travel to China. | ||
| That this is going to be a real serious problem. | ||
| France, Australia, Canada, the US, Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam, the list goes on. | ||
| Health officials are investigating more than a hundred possible cases in the US. | ||
| Germany, a man has contracted the virus. | ||
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| Japan, where a bus driver contracted the virus. | ||
| Coronavirus has killed more than 100 people there and infected more than 4,500. | ||
| We have to prepare for the worst, always, because if you don't and the worst happens, War Room. | ||

Pandemic. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Okay, we're going to go to St. | ||
| Peter's, outside of St. | ||
| Peter's, in the square, and we're going to go to our own Ben Harnwell. | ||
| We're also going to play some footage. | ||
| We had magnificent footage yesterday. | ||
| Of course, there were 60,000, 80,000 young people there, all on their phones, and so we had a tough time connecting with Ben. | ||
| Ben, before I bring on the great Steve Cortez, I want to talk about, finally, people in Europe are waking up to a very basic fact. | ||
| The Germans are under everything all the destruction you see in the Ukraine is essentially being underwritten by the Germans and other Western Europeans that are buying very cheap natural gas from the Russians and now sometimes actually paying in rubles for it. | ||
| Walk me through what was in the Daily Telegraph today. | ||
| It's something I've been saying for a long time, because there's not unity in the West. | ||
| Every time you see it on MSNBC, it's a lie. | ||
| That Macron wants to de-escalate, not increase the escalation militarily. | ||
| And with the talk of war crimes and genocide, because he wants to be elected President of France again. | ||
| And in Germany, they're going a different direction and not supporting any of the real economic warfare program. | ||
| So what happened in the Telegraph today, sir? | ||
| Morning, Steve. | ||
| Well, the Telegraph, before I start, just to frame it, is a conservative centre-right newspaper, not traditionally considered to be part of the globalist apparatus. | ||
| And here's their article today, and if Denver is able to put up this quote as I'm talking, it's basically saying that if Germany won't stop buying Russian gas, it should face sanctions to anyone buying German goods. | ||
| Because anyone buying German goods right now is effectively funding Putin's war. | ||
| And this is what they say, and I quote, Germany, and to a lesser extent Italy, are effectively funding Vladimir Putin's brutal assault on Ukraine. | ||
| Shelling of innocent civilians, mass rapes, and the destruction of whole cities is being financed by European consumers and industry. | ||
| The solution, the Telegraph asks, It is not hard to figure out as more and more atrocities by Russian soldiers are uncovered. | ||
| Surely the moment has arrived to put sanctions on Germany as well. | ||
| This is the logical next step. | ||
| This is what I'm calling the Jake Sullivan Doctrine. | ||
| It was first debuted, if you recall, say about three or four weeks ago, when Jake Sullivan sat down with China and then Ursula von der Leyen did the same thing, trying to bully China into following the West's sanctions regime on Russia. That didn't work. But the threat, the implicit threat that was coming out was that if China don't fall into line on this, then they too could find themselves | ||
| sanctioned. Now we see this sort of this idea crystallizing. | ||
| And here is the dynamic. | ||
| This is how the world falls down in this broadly tripolar geopolitical formation. | ||
| So the pro-Sullivan doctrine countries, if I might call it, I don't want to say it's a Biden policy because I think he's too Yeah, but hang on for a second. | ||
| States, but it's basically US, EU, NATO, which together have around 35% of global GDP. | ||
| The pro-Putin faction, which significantly is basically just Russia, China, and Iran, is in it to just over 20% of global GDP. | ||
| And the rest of these countries are in the middle of around 45%. | ||
| And these are the ones that we're really damaging our own economic viability. | ||
| Yeah, but hang on for a second. | ||
| Yes, that's very good. | ||
| But don't bury the lead again. | ||
| The brutal statement is what we said. | ||
| The Germans, the Italians, and consumers in Western Europe are funding the slaughter in Ukraine. | ||
| Let me be very specific. | ||
| You got Coons, one of the senior guys in the Democratic Party, the senator from Delaware, is on the Brennan Show on a Sunday, and first off, he's talking about how we're unifying the West, and she's too dumb Let me be blunt. | ||
| She's too dumb or too cowardly. | ||
| Pick them. | ||
| Take your point. | ||
| To challenge him right there because they're not unifying the West. | ||
| The West is underwriting this. | ||
| The Western Europeans are underwriting Putin every day by their consumer decisions. | ||
| And they won't change it because the minister in Germany says the quiet part a lot. | ||
| Well, we could have a lot of social unrest if we really have to change our cost of energy. | ||
| Our entire country is built upon cheap energy from Russia that we're going to continue to buy. | ||
| And Coons then says after that that he wants to talk about direct American combat involvement in Ukraine. | ||
| This is a European problem. | ||
| It's a regional problem in Europe and here's what they're doing. | ||
| They're underwriting it because they don't want to change your lifestyle. | ||
| And Macron's running around right now like, hey, I never heard of this Ukraine thing. | ||
| Yeah, we gotta de-escalate this. | ||
| Because he wants to be re-elected again. | ||
| And the people of France will not elect a warmonger. | ||
| And yet in Washington, D.C., they're sending $800 million over there. | ||
| By the way, what is the profit margin from the bloodthirsty arms manufacturers in that? | ||
| Where's the Democrats? | ||
| Omar, where are you on the AOC? | ||
| I missed your voice in that one. | ||
| Bernie Sanders? | ||
| Elizabeth Warren, where are you? | ||
| Hello? | ||
| Where is it? | ||
| You gotta go to the War Room to hear that? | ||
| Shouldn't take any profit margin. | ||
| Your tax dollars are now paying for the resistance. | ||
| While the Germans and the Europeans are living their comfortable life, you underwrite NATO. | ||
| Your sons and daughters are over there. | ||
| You're underwriting this because they won't pay up. | ||
| They're deadbeats on that. | ||
| And the two biggest deadbeats are, wait for it, Italy and Germany. | ||
| And yet they're not going to change your lifestyle. | ||
| They refuse. | ||
| They should be sanctioned today! | ||
| If you're gonna fund Putin, if you're gonna fund the Chinese Communist Party, you should be sanctioned. | ||
| If you're gonna fund it, if we're in for a dime, we're in for a dollar. | ||
| Let's do it and stop the hypocrisy. | ||
| President Trump came out with a great statement last night. | ||
| That we all should get to the table. | ||
| First of all, if he was here, it wouldn't have ever happened. | ||
| To all the dead in Ukraine. | ||
| All the dead in Detroit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Look at that. | |
| It looks like Dresden. | ||
| It's going to get worse because they're not going to stop. | ||
| And they shouldn't stop while the Germans and the Italians and the consumers in Western Europe, living high on the hog with cheap energy, continue to pay for it and now paying in rubles. | ||
| Let me go to Steve Cortez. | ||
| Thank you, Ben. | ||
| Hang on there. | ||
| We'll come back on Shanghai. | ||
| Steve Cortez, is there anything wrong in my logic there, Brother Cortez? | ||
| Poke a hole in it, because if it's a hole in the logic, I always turn to Cortez and say, hey, am I thinking about this correctly? | ||
| That's right. | ||
| Are we wrong in this? | ||
| No. | ||
| I would be the first to tell you. | ||
| By the way, it's interesting that you mentioned Macron, because Macron lately, now granted, I think it's expediency for election purposes, But Macron actually sounds very rational. | ||
| He has a foreign policy of realism and restraint. | ||
| He almost sounds like he wants to join France First and channel the America First movement. | ||
| But, you know, look, Macron sounds like Steve Bannon. | ||
| Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it. | ||
| Cortez, Cortez, that's totally unrelated that he's got an election for four years. | ||
| He's got an election on Sunday. | ||
| It's totally unrelated to that. | ||
| But let's get to this Donald Trump statement that came out last night, because, you know, I, for one, when I got that email, was cheering loudly, because it's magnificent, it's exactly what we need, a voice of significance, the most significant voice in American politics. | ||
| saying de-escalate. | ||
| It is time to get to the table and come to some reasonable settlement because this fight, and you're exactly right, Steve, NATO is funding both sides of this fight. | ||
| I mean, think about that. | ||
| If this were the supposed darkness versus light grand global struggle, that the establishment wants us to believe, Republicans and Democrats in Washington, as well as corporate media. If it were that kind of a standoff, well, we wouldn't dare be funneling money constantly, billions of dollars. When I say we, I really mean NATO, to the quote dark side of this struggle. But that's exactly what is going on. | ||
| NATO is funding quite literally both sides of this struggle. | ||
| And what we need is the opposite. | ||
| Rather than escalation, we need de-escalation. | ||
| This is a regional conflict in which the United States has no vital U.S. | ||
| national interest. | ||
| The relationship between Russia and Ukraine, which for much of history have been one country, but the relationship between those groups of people has been incredibly contentious for time immemorial. | ||
| There is thankfully no compelling American interest to invest ourselves, our treasure, certainly not our troops, In that struggle. | ||
| But at the same time, if we want to talk about borders and sovereignty, we do have a very real crisis that involves every single American. | ||
| A crisis that is teeming and that is on fire right now at our open southern border. | ||
| So how about we focus there instead of the problems which to America are really not very important on the eastern border of Ukraine. | ||
| I tell you what, let's play, do we have time? | ||
| I want to play your Chalk Talk for this morning because I want to talk about how, as much as they're underwriting this disastrous war in Ukraine, the people super paying for it are good old consumers in the United States of America. | ||
| Can we play Steve's Chalk Talk? | ||
| Patriots, Joe Biden has slammed the door shut on home ownership, particularly to young Americans. | ||
| For a look at the math and the numbers, let's do a Chalk Talk brought to you by Getter. | ||
| Now, for a median-priced home in the United States, which is just over $400,000, if you've actually been able to save $80,000 to put 20% down, here's what your payment was and here's what it is now. | ||
| At just the beginning of this year, just this January, when mortgage rates were 3.25%, Your monthly payment was over $1,700 on that $400,000 home. | ||
| Now, just a few months later, because of Biden's inflation surge, these mortgage rates have gone up almost two full percentage points, which means your monthly payment is now well over $2,000. | ||
| That's an extra almost $400 every single month and almost $5,000 every year. | ||
| Now, that might be great news for Biden's pals at BlackRock, but it's terrible news for regular Americans. | ||
| Okay, Steve Cortez, walk us through this. | ||
| Talk about the economic carnage that's about to hit us, sir. | ||
| Well, listen, interest rates are soaring right now, and this is a created crisis because of Joe Biden's profligacy, because of his exorbitant borrowing and spending, with the full assistance, unfortunately, of far too many establishment Republicans on Capitol Hill, because of his war on American energy, and yes, because of his insistence on interjecting America into this Black Sea struggle in which we have no vital U.S. | ||
| national interest. | ||
| Inflation is absolutely soaring at 40-year highs by every single metric. | ||
| Well, interest rates are now also soaring. | ||
| We have mortgage rates at 10-year highs. | ||
| And what that has created is a situation where you have, at the same time, the cost of financing a home is rising dramatically and the list prices of homes rising dramatically. | ||
| Steve, that's unusual because normally one will temper the other. | ||
| If you have rates rising dramatically, it will act as a cooling effect upon house prices. | ||
| That's not going on right now. | ||
| Because we are, I believe, beginning an inflationary super cycle. | ||
| And so what you have right now is the list price is galloping higher. | ||
| At the same time, the price of financing it is getting beyond the reach of many Americans. | ||
| Think of how many Americans just this year, Steve, that Chalk Talk I did there, I'm talking since this January, okay? | ||
| So just in the last few months, the cost of owning a regular home, nothing palatial, nothing luxurious, of owning a regular home is In the United States, for those who are fortunate enough to have the down payment in the first place, and that's a shrinking pool of people. | ||
| But if they had that down payment in the first place, an extra $400 every single month. | ||
| Think of how many working class people, how many young people, how many aspirational strivers out there have now been priced out. | ||
| of home ownership by the policies of Joe Biden. | ||
| This is a created crisis and he is slamming the door shut on home ownership. | ||
| And here's the thing, Steve. | ||
| I wish I could say that this is all just, you know, bad policy choices and all just an accident, but I'm not so sure about that because I'm going to be really cynical here and say that, you know what? | ||
| The Davos set, the ruling class, the Black Rocks of the world who are now deeply involved in individual housing in the United States, home, single family home residences in the United States, They might be just fine with the way things are panning out right now, and this may be very much by design, that they want and they are pursuing with abandon a society of serfs rather than an ownership society where economic and political power is diffused throughout a free republic. | ||
| Okay, we're going to take a short break. | ||
| Cortez is going to come back. | ||
| This is maybe one of the biggest revelations that I think from people that look at capital markets and what's going on. | ||
| What Steve said, normally when these interest rates start going, the price heat cools down. | ||
| Here you may see something quite unique. | ||
| Where you're going to get rising prices overall and increasing mortgages to make it harder. | ||
| And the reason in back of that? | ||
| The concentration of capital in these massive asset managers that are now going around and buying up American real estate by the grunches. | ||

| Okay. | ||
| Back to Steve Kortes. | ||
| Kortes, just give me two minutes again. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| This thing is, you're the only guy that's thought this through. | ||
| It's massive. | ||
| It's about... | ||
| These black right they become on 10 train under management and they are Because of the the liquidity the feds providing and the zero interest rates everything they were doing they get so big now They're buying up hard assets. | ||
| They like crazy including housing stock, sir So how is that gonna? | ||
| How's that? | ||
| How's that the the really the implementation of? | ||
| Russian serfdom on young people here in the United States of America Yeah, and it's a great point, Steve. | ||
| I'm a lot more worried about a Russian surf model in the United States than I am about Russia and what they're doing at the eastern border of Ukraine. | ||
| But to this point, you know, we have seen a concentration of economic power in this country. | ||
| It's most obvious, I think, to the audience, probably when it comes to big tech. | ||
| And that's a pernicious threat to American liberty. | ||
| What might be a lot less obvious, though, is the concentration of power among asset managers. | ||
| A lot of asset managers that aren't necessarily household names, although BlackRock is becoming one, and it should be for its infamy, and how much they abuse the United States for their own benefit. | ||
| Let me give you a specific example. | ||
| Right now, getting back to housing, home sales in the United States, 20% of them, are now comprised of ins of single family homes. | ||
| T zero institutional involv homes in many hot areas o percentages far higher tha a young couple who has be trying to start a family home. | ||
| They're not just co like couples. | ||
| They're com buyers like black rock. | ||
| against other like couple against institutional buy Now, why is that a problem other than just those peo home? Steve, it's because all about individual sove If you are a rent of the landlord. | ||
| are increasing 17% a year basis. If you are a rente mercy of the landlord. Ev renews, it's up to the la you get it renewed at wha renewed, whether or not t the building, you're at t you own a home, as long a your mortgage or hopefull paid off, it is truly your home. | ||
| I mean, there's real credence to that phrase, you know, a man's home is his castle. | ||
| That is true in the United States. | ||
| We are ripping that away from regular Americans. | ||
| So, what do we do? | ||
| What do we do? | ||
| To me, Steve, the answer here is relatively simple. | ||
| We prohibit institutional investment in homes. | ||
| We prohibit it. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| I think this needs to be. | ||
| We also need to break up these asset managers, by the way, you know, you said channel Teddy Roosevelt. | ||
| I'm 100% for that. | ||
| We need to become the Republican Party of roughly a century ago. | ||
| We need trust busting big tech. | ||
| Yes, absolutely, but we can't just stop there. | ||
| We also need to break up the asset managers because in many ways, The asset managers, they are the puppeteers directing what these companies do, and they are also, in my view, wholly perverting the housing market in the United States. | ||
| When you combine that concentration of power and economic wealth, when you combine that with an inflationary spiral caused by Biden right now, What we have is a perfect storm, the worst of all worlds for regular Americans who want to become homebuyers. | ||
| Steve, we do not want to live in a country where only the wealthy own their homes and everyone else is a surf renting for life. | ||
| But that's exactly where we are heading right now. | ||
| But again, America First has solutions here. | ||
| And the first easy solution is, hey BlackRock, No more purchasing individual homes. | ||
| You are out of the residential single-family home market. | ||
| You and every other institutional investor. | ||
| That needs to be a foundational part of the 2022 America First platform, Steve. | ||
| Okay, hang on. | ||
| Yes, absolutely. | ||
| the way, just breaking that Canada is announcing a two year hiatus on foreign ownership of coming in and buying real estate and land assets. Also the massive buying of farmland and all that. So hang on for a second. The engine room is pouring in with articles even as we speak about all this. | ||
| It's going to be a massive, massive topic. And just like you have the oligarchs in Silicon Valley, these oligarchs now, and the framers never had this in mind, these oligarchs on Wall Street have to be busted up and they have to be limited on what they can do. And on ran that. OK. Atlas shrugged that. I want to go to Ben Harnwell back back in the Vatican. Ben, hit me with what's going on. You've been following the Shanghai situation like nobody. Bloomberg's got a story. | ||
| Tell me about tell me about Shanghai and the problems we have there. Well, Steve, Um... | ||
| Economists have calculated, lest we forget, that for every month of lockdown in Shanghai, that will cost about 4% towards its GDP. | ||
| So there's a big economic push to reopen China, but things are going in the opposite direction. | ||
| And China's answer to to Dr. Fauci, Wu Sun-Yu, who's the chief epidemiologist at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that we should be mentally prepared for a long fight against COVID and we shouldn't be blinded by overly positive outlooks, and therefore indicating that according at least to China's top health officials, there will be no end in sight | ||
| towards the increasing lockdown regime currently underway in China, which has around 375 million people currently under lockdown of one degree or another, which is about a quarter of the global population. | ||
| And not just the core of the global, this is not inner Mongolia. | ||
| They've got places like Shenzhen, they got Guangzhou, they got Shanghai, they got Hong Kong on and off. | ||
| Cortez, can you figure out, we're pretty good China hands here, can you figure out exactly what is going on in Shanghai? | ||
| Because it's very disturbing. | ||
| But it doesn't quite, something doesn't fall together. | ||
| IMF just downgraded overall the world economy. | ||
| And this hasn't even hit, because this will be a tsunami of all tsunamis. | ||
| Steve Gretz. | ||
| No, you're making a great point. | ||
| It's very puzzling, quite frankly. | ||
| You know, even for those of us who have followed China extremely closely for decades, that they would overreact in this manner, knowing full well the folly, the scientific folly of attempting lockdown. | ||
| So what else is going on here then? | ||
| What is the second order or the second derivative? | ||
| It's hard to tell so far. | ||
| for the United States to connect this story of Shanghai and the lockdowns in China with what I was talking about previously regarding inflation and the economic dire predicaments here in the United States, to intertwine those two stories. | ||
| When you consider that Shanghai is the largest port in the world that is 20% of all shipping for China. | ||
| And when you look at that massive and important city under lockdown, the ramifications for the United States in coming weeks and months to our supply chain may become another situation where we have absolute serious shortages in this country. | ||
| And here's the point I wanna make, Steve, is that we are entering this potential, this looming slowdown and this looming crisis of shortages of goods and the supply chain crisis. | ||
| We are entering it in such a weakened state because the American consumer has already been so punished that they are completely on the ropes and the only way they're getting by right now is via credit. | ||
| And that's at current levels of inflation. | ||
| That inflation could spike massively because of what's going on and because of shortages coming out of China and Shanghai. | ||
| It's the exact opposite if I could compare it to the spring of 2020 when the CCP virus ravaged the global economy. | ||
| At least the United States went into that with incredible economic momentum because of the economy that America First and Donald Trump had built. | ||
| So we went into it incredibly strongly. | ||
| Thank goodness. | ||
| We have the opposite situation now. | ||
| We are hobbling into a potential next crisis caused by China. | ||
| Okay, since we're on a roll, let's keep going. | ||
| Zero Hedge and others today are breaking a story about this global famine. | ||
| And it's about a UN report that's just out that says that we're about to go into the worst food shortage since the dire days right after World War II. | ||
| Steve Cortes, walk me through this. | ||
| I'm seeing food riots from places like Chile, Sri Lanka. | ||
| The impact of the Ukraine's lack of the Ukraine harvest hasn't even hit us on top of everything else. | ||
| Walk us through this. | ||
| How big a deal is this? | ||
| You know, it's massive. | ||
| And particularly for the rest of the world, serious problem for us, existential problem for a lot of the world, particularly the developing world. | ||
| And what I mean by that is the United States, thankfully, is a food production powerhouse. | ||
| So people are not going to go hungry in the United States, but they are going to pay massively more for food in the United States. | ||
| And in other parts of the world, it's much more. | ||
| We're talking about actual hunger and potentially famine, and a lot of this goes back to, and the Zero Hedge article talked about this, a lot of this goes back to fertilizer. | ||
| Something we started talking about weeks ago here on War Room, because Russia and Ukraine together, but particularly Russia, Belarus also, an absolute fertilizer powerhouse. | ||
| So it's not just what they grow, it's what they enable the rest of the world to grow. | ||
| And in that regard, taking on Russia was incredibly risky. | ||
| And again, taking them on in an economic war over a regional battle in which the United States has no vital U.S. | ||
| national interest. | ||
| And again, it's a problem for the United States, and food prices are going to spike here, but for the rest of the world, Steve, it's beyond a problem. | ||
| We're talking about an all-out crisis. | ||
| Look, we saw what rising wheat prices did to the Middle East, for example, during the times of the Arab Spring. | ||
| This is that situation on steroids. | ||
| We mentioned just yesterday, corn prices hit 10-year highs. | ||
| Agricultural prices, by the way, have been rallying massively way before things got hot over in the Black Sea. | ||
| All of 2021, because of Joe Biden's policies, The prices of any physical good, but particularly for agricultural goods, they have been absolutely soaring even before this crisis. | ||
| It's sort of like I said with the U.S. | ||
| approach in the China situation. | ||
| We are hobbling into a food crisis. | ||
| Things were already bad. | ||
| Prices for wheat and corn and meat were already skyrocketing. | ||
| On top of that, now you layer an economic showdown with Russia, the most significant producer of fertilizer in the world, And we have the makings for an absolute all-out crisis, for global chaos regarding food. | ||
| And again, Steve, this is created. | ||
| None of this had to happen. | ||
| Steve Cortez, how do people get to your sub stack, your shorts, all of it? | ||
| Yeah, please follow me. | ||
| I'm on getter at Steve. | ||
| Very simple. | ||
| You can also find me at the Twitter for now, at Steve Cortez with an S. | ||
| Brother Cortez, always great. | ||
| Channeling your Teddy Roosevelt. | ||
| The Trust Buster, Steve Cortez. | ||
| Awesome. | ||
| Okay, short break. | ||
| We've got my patrons, Malai Jo Reek, to talk to you about what you can do to get around these shortages. | ||
| Also, Matt Burnham, from yesterday, from Buckham, that Rachel Maddow and Jane Mayer had a full meltdown last night on MSNBC. | ||
| We'll get to it all next. | ||

| You have almost 400 million people and this is the most productive. | ||
| This is not like inner Mongolia. | ||

| Also, there's something up. | ||
| They're going to require massive food injection. | ||
| Because they're about to have a famine there, okay? | ||
| Caused by unknown. | ||
| We don't know if it's the vaccine or the COVID or whatever they're doing, but it's draconian. | ||
| And it's still to be determined what it is. | ||

| What are they supposed to do? | ||

| You know, My Patriot Supply, we provide the long-term emergency food storage. | ||
| And the best way to get a hold of us is visit mypatriotsupply.com. | ||
| You can even call our toll free number and that's 866-229-0927. | ||
| Come talk with a preparedness specialist. | ||
| Tell us what your goals are, how many people are in your family. | ||
| We'll help you come up with a plan that's going to fit you guys or your family perfectly. | ||
| The beautiful thing about what we do here, Steve, is there's not a one-size-fits-all. | ||
| Emergency preparedness, it's a journey, not a destination. | ||
| So there's many facets of emergency preparedness and we can help you get started, whether we help you get started with a small three day supply, or whether we help you get up to an entire 12 month supply. | ||
| The important thing is, is get it done now. | ||
| I mean, with what's been going on in the world, you know, the articles, you mentioned the producer price index that came out a couple of, I think it was last week at up at 8.5% increase over last year. | ||
| You know, Steve, we actually anticipate that being well over the double digits here shortly. | ||
| You know, these food shortages that they're coming. | ||
| We see it. | ||
| We see it on the global market on the scale. | ||
| When we go to purchase our raw ingredients, when you go to purchase flour, when you go to purchase our rice, we go to purchase our noodles. | ||
| It is a very, very real concern. | ||
| And it's just only a matter of time before we start seeing it more on our doorsteps here. | ||
| And it's so crazy to know or even think about how intertwined the entire global economy is. | ||
| You know, with what's going on over in China, that's going to have huge implications here with us here in the US. | ||
| And it's only a matter of time before we start seeing the reaction to that here on our doorstep. | ||
| Have you, real quickly, have you, I want this Zero Hedge piece out because I couldn't find something, but it's about this UN report, the food report, the worst since World War II. | ||
| Have you, you're a pro, and you guys are the best, have you ever seen a situation like this, a global situation like this, and what's to come from it, Joe Reek? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, we haven't. | |
| I mean, we haven't seen this type of movement, at least in our industry, for the past two years. | ||
| I mean, we've been talking about natural disasters. | ||
| We've been talking about pandemics, but never have we seen it so strong here in the United States. | ||
| I mean, we all went through that global pandemic with the coronavirus. | ||
| We're starting to see the implications and what happened over the past year and a half. | ||
| It's finally starting to show up now. | ||
| And we've never seen anything like this, Steve. | ||
| We've never been in this type of a situation where we rely so heavily on other countries importing goods into the United States, where we're also an exporter as well. | ||
| We've never seen this. | ||
| And we've been talking about this for years. | ||
| I mean, we've known that this is going to be coming. | ||
| I mean, we're a preparedness company. | ||
| We've been trying to educate customers for years about the need to be self-sufficient. | ||
| Because Steve, nobody's going to care more about your wellness, your survival than yourself. | ||
| You know, you look at the course of what's going on with this administration, the way that they've been handling these crises, and I'll tell you what, I don't want them to be handling anything that happens moving forward, because we've seen that there's just a lack of confidence. | ||
| There's just this huge incompetence. | ||
| Your family's security is your responsibility. | ||
| That's what it's got to be. | ||
| You've got to accept that. | ||
| You've got to take responsibility. | ||
| At the end of the day, you're going to be accountable. | ||
| You've got to take responsibility for your family. | ||
| Joe, how do people get to you? | ||
|

| Okay, Joe Reed, thank you very much. | ||
| Thank you for coming on and sharing that. | ||
| Make sure everybody gets that number down. | ||
| Let's get it in all the chat rooms so they can call and talk to one of these consultants. | ||
| Can we play Buckham's? | ||
| We've got Matt Buckham here. | ||
| Talk about accountability. | ||
| We've got a guy that's holding the administration accountable in their meltdown. | ||
| Let's go ahead and play the Rachel Maddow piece. | ||
| And you are seeing that kind of allegation made more broadly and more broadly and more flippantly all the time in Republican politics. | ||
| Now, we're seeing it, for example, in the debate around Florida's Don't Say Gay Bill, right? | ||
| Everybody who's opposed to that bill, according to the Florida Republican Governor's Office, must themselves be soft on pedophilia, must somehow themselves be implicated in child sex abuse because you don't want an anti-gay civil rights bill to pass. | ||
| We are seeing it used more aggressively, more widely, more flippantly in Republican politics all the time. | ||
| But to see it used inside the United States Senate, in the mouths of United States Senators, at a Supreme Court confirmation hearing. | ||
| How did that happen? | ||
| Well, the investigative reporter Jane Mayer, who works at the New Yorker magazine, has actually tracked that down. | ||
| She has found the group that originated that disgusting and totally false line of attack. | ||
| She has traced them to the building in which they work. | ||
| She has traced, to a certain degree, that's doable, the money that appears to support them. | ||
| And she has tracked down their overall aim, which is to use these tactics and others to try to stop not just a Supreme Court nominee, To try to stop a nominee here and there, to whom they've decided they're going to try to affix this particular label. | ||
| But they are going to try to stop every single nominee of the Biden administration at every level, using any accusation, no matter how much damage it does along the way. | ||
| Jane Mayer's new investigation at The New Yorker is just posted. | ||
| It's titled, The Slime Machine, targeting dozens of Biden nominees. | ||
| In an escalation of partisan warfare, a little-known dark money group is trying to thwart the president's entire slate. | ||
| The group is claiming credit for having dirtied up Judge Jackson during her confirmation with these false claims, even though she was still confirmed. | ||
| They're also claiming credit for actually stopping the nominations of multiple Biden nominees, with plans for more to come. | ||
| The slime machine. | ||
| Matt Buckham, who joined us yesterday. | ||
| Matt, the American Accountability Foundation, are you a slime machine? | ||
| Jane Mayer is, you know, the top investigative reporter for The New Yorker. | ||
| She's no fan of the MAGA movement. | ||
| She's no fan of America First. | ||
| She's no fan of Donald Trump, or The Deplorables, or this show, or the people that watch this show, or you, obviously. | ||
| Is the American Accountability Foundation a slime machine? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Steve, that's what she's claiming we are. | |
| I love that she asked, how does the Senate get this information? | ||
| And I go directly to the source from Judge Jackson's own words, her own mouth. | ||
| We found a Harvard Law Review where she had an unsigned note in it. | ||
| It's her view that it's a constitutional crisis to defend repeated sex offenders. | ||
| And then we find out later that passes on to child pornographers. | ||
| So when she claims it's a constitutional crisis in her own words, we just like to put it out there and we like the American people to see what kind of people, nominees, appointees, officials, The Biden administration decides that it's good for America. | ||
| Here's my point. | ||
| You guys are just going through public records and things like that and putting those up on a website and making sure that people in the confirmation process, essentially there are 4,000. | ||
| Every administration has roughly, I think, 4,000 people, of which you got 1,000 that are going to be Senate confirmed. | ||
| Right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's right. | |
| And so those Senate confirmations are, that's what the Senate does, the Human Resources Department. | ||
| They don't have the staffs to do all this. | ||
| You guys just go through, whether it's little Jamie Raskin's corrupt wife, right, or these others that are all either corrupt, incompetent, or people ought to know how radical they are. | ||
| All you do is go into the records and just put that up. | ||
| Is that essentially what American Accountability Foundation does? | ||
|
unidentified
|
We do. | |
| And we call their colleagues. | ||
| We call their associates. | ||
| We want to get a full picture of these nominees, these people that have the full authority under law over all Americans' lives. | ||
| I am tired of seeing Americans live in fear. | ||
| I'm tired of seeing them attacked. | ||
| I'm tired of going through a COVID pandemic where Their liberties are put in jeopardy and restricted. | ||
| I'm tired of individuals getting into the Biden administration using taxpayer dollars to thwart opinions that they disagree with. | ||
| And so yes, we go through public documents, public records. | ||
| We go through their own videos where they posted to their fringe activists groups and supporters. | ||
| Saying things like, you need to apologize for being white, and you're a racist if you vote for a certain bill. | ||
| These are things that these nominees, these appointees that Biden pick, that's what they're saying. | ||
| So we just let the Senate know, we let their staff know, and you're right, they don't have enough time to investigate all of these individuals, these low-level appointees and nominees. | ||
| So we bring it to light, and if you're worried as a future appointee, you should be. | ||
| Because we're going to comb through your record, We're going to find out, as in David Chipman's case, where he was alleged racist, there was an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission complaint against him, and we asked for those records. | ||
| That alone, asking for the records of his alleged racism, was alone enough to stop his confirmation. | ||
| Senator Grassley followed up on our investigations. | ||
| It killed his nomination. | ||
| They didn't even have a vote on him because they knew what we'd find if it came up in discovery. | ||
| So yes, we will use everything available to us. | ||
| You have the New Yorker magazine. | ||
| You have Jane Mayer, who's their top investigative reporter. | ||
| You have Rachel Maddow. | ||
| You have the Rachel Maddow Show. | ||
| You have all of MSNBC that is coming after you hard as the slime machine. | ||
| Are you going to back off one inch, sir? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Not a bit. | |
| In fact, me and my partner were laughing last night of all of the fan mail we got from Maddow's piece. | ||
| They call us slime machine, yet we got emails written about how I have a firearm, I'm a sniper, I'm going to kill you and your family, I hope you burn in HELL. | ||
| Who's really the slime machine? | ||
| Us digging up public record and revealing it to the American people in the United States Senate about the true nature of these appointees or individuals that watch Maddow's show? | ||
| In fact, the best segment of Maddow was when she let the world know that we are indeed a nonpartisan 501c3 educational resource organization that can accept donations How do people find you on social media? | ||
| them off on your taxes. So yes indeed we would like to continue our work. Maddow, I actually forgot she was still on the air. That was a surprise so I was I was enjoying that segment last night watching her. How do people find you on social media? How do they get to your site to see if they're interested in supporting your work? Absolutely. | ||
| You can find us on AmericanAccountabilityFoundation.com. | ||
| That's our main website. | ||
| You can also look at all of the profiles of Biden's nominees on BidenNoms.com. | ||
| You can get there through our main website, and you can find us on a variety of social media platforms. | ||
| Look for American Accountability Foundation, Biden Noms. | ||
| We're there front and center, and we'll keep investigating. | ||
| Matt Buckham, thank you very much, and particularly thank you for not backing down an inch when they start coming after you. | ||
| You know they're over the target when that happens. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| Okay, short commercial break. | ||

| At what time, sir? | ||
| Eastern time? | ||
| I'll be doing it at 3 p.m. | ||
| Eastern, Steve. | ||
| Just a little dive into the rivalries. | ||
| Who's going to be Mr. 10% on the reconstruction of Ukraine, which one economist, the former governor of the Ukrainian Central Bank, has placed at trillions. | ||
| Anyone who's been following the War Room and my reporting will know, basically, who's going to be getting that 10% and who's going to be stumping up the cash. | ||

| And if you're interested in following that, come to my Getter feed. | ||
| At Harnwell. | ||
| At Harnwell, simply my surname. | ||
| And I'll be there at 3pm to do this 5 minute deep dive. | ||
| Yeah, unless we stop and assume it's going to be American taxpayers. | ||
| What it should be is the countries of Europe, starting with the wealthiest country in Europe, wait for it, Germany. | ||
| The same guys are buying the cheap gas from the Russians and underwriting this. | ||
| The Germans, the government in Germany, the country of Germany should be sanctioned immediately. | ||
| If you want this war to stop, cut off the money that's underwriting the Russians, the Chinese Communist Party, and the Western Europeans, particularly Italy and Germany. | ||
| Okay, I'm not even sure the citizens understand that. | ||
| Ben Harnwell, thank you very much. | ||
| Thanks for hanging out with us today and doing all this great reporting. | ||
| And thank you, actually, the visuals were stunning. | ||
| I want to go to Fletcher Gill now. | ||
| Luke's Wings, this is a very positive, we love positive stories. | ||
| We love people that are getting on with it and getting things done. | ||
| Fletcher, we had a little bit the other day, but I'm going to give you some more time now. | ||
| Walk us through what Luke's Wings is, how it started, and how Vitally important is now that we have a 5.8 trillion dollar federal budget, but we can't find money to support our veterans or we can't find money to support our first responders or our police officers. | ||
| Walk us through Luke's Wings and what you guys are doing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, thank you, Steve. | |
| And isn't that amazing? | ||
| We started Luke's Wings back in January of 2008 because we discovered that the government was providing one flight for a family member to come to Walter Reed in Bethesda, Maryland to be by the bedside of our wounded warriors, but only one flight. And that traveler would have a per diem and a place to stay, but when they took the return flight home, the coverage ended. And so the traveler would | ||
| instinctively, usually a mom, right, would usually quit their job, leave the other kids with grandma, walk out on the whole family unit, thus taking the matriarch out of the family unit, and getting on that first plane to come to Walter Reed, and then refusing to leave because they were terrified that if they got on that return flight home, they wouldn't have the funds or the means to be able to come back a second time. | ||
| And of course, as you know, our Wounded Warriors were recovering for years and years, going through You know, in some cases, literally 80 surgeries to try to salvage a limb or to keep them alive. | ||
| So we stepped in in January of 08 and we said, that's, that's, that's not acceptable. | ||
| That's unacceptable. | ||
| We went to Walter Reed and we told all the moms and all the wives and all the family members from now on, Luke's Wings is going to be there to establish a rotation plan. | ||
| So we can give you that second flight and as many flights as you need. | ||
| So that our wounded warrior would always have the love of family by their bedside during their recovery. | ||
| We named the organization Luke's Wings after Luke Shirley, who was a double amputee at Walter Reed at that time, and Sarah Wingfield, a very good friend of mine who told me his story and inspired this. | ||
| Incredible. | ||
| So walk us through today. | ||
| That was at one of the, you know, you had the wars in Afghanistan, you had the wars in Iraq. | ||
| How are you, by the way, that story is so moving and it outrages people so much that you would get, people would get one flight and nothing more. | ||
| So for you guys to step in the middle of that and have the backs of not just servicemen, but their families and particularly their moms. | ||
| I mean, this is, everybody knows you've had a kid deployed. | ||
| You just, you realize all the control, you have no control. | ||
| It's in God's hands. | ||
| So walk us through, what are you guys doing today? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, of course we had to pivot as we started to leave Afghanistan and leave Iraq. | |
| So in 2011, we started providing flights for World War II and Korean War veterans and hospice care. | ||
| We call that our Veterans and Hospice Care Transportation Assistance Program. | ||
| That allows us to provide flights so that no veteran is ever alone when they pass away. | ||
| We like to think of it as the last salute to the greatest generation that ever lived. | ||
| And so we've been doing that since 2011. | ||
| And in 2016, way, way ahead of the curve, we started providing flights for fallen officers in our law enforcement community. | ||
| That's because as your audience knows better than any audience in 2016, we were seeing jihadi attacks on cops in the streets, literally people walking up and yelling Allah Akbar and attacking cops. | ||
| And as a result of that, you know, they were asking the natural questions like who's taking credit for the attack and who's behind it kind of thing. | ||
| And we thought, well, If our service members are overseas protecting our freedoms and we're supporting them, why aren't we also supporting our law enforcement who's here domestically supporting our freedoms? | ||
| That program line, our Fallen Officers Transportation Assistance program line, has been in place since 2016 and remains in place today. | ||
| Just last month, or maybe six weeks ago, we provided 12 airplane tickets to Salinas County, California. | ||
| Sleepy little town in California where Officer Alvarado was shot. | ||
| And killed. | ||
| Actually, I believe it was an accident. | ||
| But we provided 12 flights. | ||
| And in that process, discovered that not only was he a law enforcement officer, but he was a veteran himself. | ||
| And we provided four of those flights for his battle buddies from the 101st Airborne. | ||
| Another flight was for his nephew, who was in basic training at that moment in time. | ||
| And another flight was for his father from Nicaragua, who hadn't seen him in gosh knows how long. | ||
| So we had 12 people at his funeral. | ||
| In California. | ||
| And you know, over 14 years, Steve, we've done over 14,000 airplane tickets, if you can believe that. | ||
| So we started out in 2008 and we did 19 flights in 2008. | ||
| And now we do that number almost every couple of days. | ||
| Fletcher, we got to bounce. | ||
| How do people get to the site, social media, how they find out more about you guys? | ||
