Do you think that President Biden has not received the credit He does deserve a lot of credit, but there was the problem of the Build Back Better plan that for one year, Democrats thought that they were going to get this big. | |
| It was marketeered as a New New Deal or Great Society measure, and Biden came up short, short of two votes, Sinema and Manchin. | ||
| But nevertheless, by coming up short, many people on the left and a lot of young people, if you look at the polls for Biden, aren't there for him. | ||
| They're saying we waited a year. | ||
| You talk about climate change. | ||
| What are we getting on climate change? | ||
| Go on and on. | ||
| John Lewis voting rights. | ||
| What are we doing? | ||
| And then, look, he's not an inspiring orator. | ||
| He's not somebody who's going to move people like John F. Kennedy or Ronald Reagan. | ||
| In the end, his pressers are often hard to watch. | ||
| Part of it's part of his age. | ||
| Part of it is just who he is. | ||
| He's never been thought as a golden tongue speaker. | ||
| So in that way, on TV, he comes across a little more like an Eisenhower or Gerald Ford or Nixon or Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter. | ||
| But he doesn't come off like Obama. | ||
| And I'm afraid for any Democrat that follows Barack Obama, they're always going to seem short because Obama was so facile, great on his feet. | ||
| And then the thought is the polls are bad, inflation's bad, gasoline lines are bad. | ||
| It's a recipe for a bad midterm for Biden. | ||
| So many people are looking for plan B. Is Kamala Harris going to run? | ||
| What about Amy Klobuchar? | ||
| Will she run? | ||
| What about Cory Booker? | ||
| What about Buttigieg? | ||
| So when you're the sitting president and people in your own party are looking for an alternative, that's not a good place you want to be in. | ||
| Yeah, you know Doug though, really quickly though, we do need to bring this up. | ||
| And I know you know this better than anybody. | ||
| Ronald Reagan, landslide in 1980, landslide in 1984, won 49 out of 50 states. | ||
| You talk to old hands in the Republican Party, they will tell you they've never been more disappointed with any election than 1982, when Reagan got wiped off the map. | ||
| His first two years, after his first two years in the midterms, people didn't even think that guy was going to get re-elected. | ||
| You look at Bill Clinton in 1994, Republicans completely wiped him out. | ||
| Two years before he became the first Democrat to get re-elected since FDR. | ||
| I could keep going. | ||
| You look at George Bush in 2006. | ||
| What happened there? | ||
| Barack Obama in 2010. | ||
| You had the Tea Party come in 2010. | ||
| Okay, okay, okay. | ||
| I can't take any more of Morning Mika. | ||
| I can't go there. | ||
| Her wingman. | ||
| How about that? | ||
| Her wingman. | ||
| What he fails to say there is what Paul Volcker and Ronald Reagan did in basically taking the bullet from 1981 until until things turned around. | ||
| I guess what 83 led to the landslide in 84 completely misses the point. | ||
| But you see the Democrats right there in total and complete meltdown. | ||
| The polling is all time worse. | ||
| We just had the illegitimate regime head, Joe Biden, wandered into, it looks like the Roosevelt Room, I think? | ||
| It looks like he's in the Roosevelt Room. | ||
| He's talking to us about Ukraine. | ||
| Of course, people are starting to break our way in Ukraine. | ||
| You've got Jeffrey Sachs. | ||
| You had Clint Watch yesterday on MSNBC. | ||
| We'll pull some clips later. | ||
| People are saying, hey, I think maybe it's time to get the Russians to the negotiating table, right? | ||
| This thing's not turning out too well for us. | ||
| And the Ukrainian people have been misled because the EU and NATO are not doing anything but sending some odds and ends on military equipment that are leading to this. | ||
| More Ukrainians getting crushed. | ||
| And so now, a merry-go-round. | ||
| Uh, this, uh, this, uh, siege, uh, enters, I think, where were we? | ||
| The 55th, 57th, 58th day. | ||
| So anyway, uh, Joe Biden and the reason that, uh, his poll numbers are so bad, they fail to mention, you know, part of it's this, part of it's that, part of it's this, part of it, it's that he is illegitimate. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| He did not win the presidency. | ||
| It was stolen and we have shown it stolen and we're going to push forward to get it decertified. | ||
| Okay, we're very close in the states of Wisconsin, the states of Arizona, and we will be close in the great state of Georgia. | ||
| And if Jay Corman would step up and really push both in investigation and deservication, he would be somewhere beyond single digits in his governor's race, right? | ||
| So it's all in front of us. | ||
| It's all work to do. | ||
| But now they're in complete denial and panic mode, and they thought that wag the dog in Ukraine was going to save them. | ||
| No, it is not. | ||
| Because their policy in Ukraine is absolutely a debacle. | ||
| Philip Patrick, Dave Brat, Ben Harnwell is going to be live from Rome, we've got a lot going on today. | ||
| But I want to start in, this is, remember, we're focused on the complete and total destruction of the Democratic Party as a national political institution. | ||
| This is our opportunity to turn them into the Whigs, okay? | ||
| Both a central neoliberal party, neoliberal neocon, which is Both Hillary Clinton and Dick Cheney in drag, which is Liz Cheney, and that party, and then the squad over to the new Green Party, the squad, and they'll be two separate things, right? | ||
| Two separate things because they hate each other so much. | ||
| Vernon Jones is going to be on in a little while talking about his confrontation, continued confrontation with Congressman Omar. | ||
| I want to start with Andrew Giuliani. | ||
| He's running in a primary. | ||
| For the governorship of New York, and of course, you know, every we had Rudy on yesterday and with the show last night, everybody's talking about that morning. | ||
| Joe melted down about it. | ||
| It's not relevant. | ||
| That's Rudy being Rudy. | ||
| But Andrew Giuliani, his surprising people, the couple polls at Zogby's got him up by seven in the primary over Lee Zeldin and Lee Zeldin, a great. | ||
| Congressman, really a hawk on foreign policy, been a guy that's really been there for the movement, but I don't know if people really see him as a governor type, as an executive type. | ||
| Andrew's up by 7 on the Zogby poll and 20 on the Siena poll. | ||
| So I'm bringing in Andrew Giuliani. | ||
| Andrew, why are you, why have you kind of come from nowhere? | ||
| Because I thought the state convention, the party elders, and remember, the Republican Party in New York State is complete controlled opposition, right? | ||
| They may be the most feckless Republican Party. | ||
| They're really Democrat-like. | ||
| I mean, up in Albany, you've got the Democratic Socialists really run things. | ||
| People don't understand the reason New York State's losing so many people. | ||
| They're run by really Socialists up in Albany. | ||
| Well, I think it's because I'm not afraid to mention that what I want to do in Albany is similar to what President Trump was able to do. | ||
|
unidentified
|
got a center-left Republican controlled opposition. You've been a breath of fresh air. Why are you leading these polls? Well I think it's because I'm not afraid to mention that what I want to do in Albany is similar to what President Trump was able to do. The strategy that we set forth in the White House, that President Trump set forth, that you set forth, Steve, whether it's regulatory reform. | |
| Congressman Zeldin is running away from President Trump. | ||
| We'll not mention him in interviews. | ||
| And for me, it's not that every other word is Trump, Trump, Trump. | ||
| But what I will say is a lot of the things that he did in the United States of America from regulatory reform, going after crime, obviously from what he did from an opioid task force situation. | ||
| That's what we want to do here in New York. | ||
| It's the same kind of approach. | ||
| So I think it's not shying away from that. | ||
| That's been so good. | ||
| And you mentioned the party. | ||
| I mean, I had the party boss literally tell me about six months ago, I don't want a primary because I don't want Trump to be mentioned in a primary period. | ||
| And I said, Nick, look, that's the exact opposite approach of what you need. | ||
| The truth is you're going to have the Democratic Party in 2022, as they did in 2021. | ||
| Try to make the main issue Trump. | ||
| If they do that, like they tried to do it in other states in 2021, they are going to fail miserably because they are forgetting that they have a federal record to defend in Biden, which is absolutely atrocious, no matter what morning Mika will tell you. | ||
| And on top of that, they have in New York, a governor in Hocal, who is just like Andrew Cuomo and just like Eliot Spitzer. | ||
| Literally, her first major appointment, Lieutenant Governor Brian Benjamin, last week, gets arrested, not even six months on the job, for campaign finance fraud, and guess what? | ||
| She approves a Buffalo Bills stadium deal that her husband was the chief lobbyist on, and gets a chunk of the concessions on top of this. | ||
| So she is profiting from a deal that she approved as governor of New York. | ||
| Unfortunately, we've seen too much of the Republican Party go along with those deals for their little slice of the pie. | ||
| I'm going to be that wrecking ball that comes into Albany and to take a turn from our former boss team, drain the Albany swamp. | ||
| Okay, Andrew, you've got New York's two things. | ||
| One, it's got the greatest city in the world, New York City, and then you've got the rest of the Empire State, this massive Empire State. | ||
| Let's go to New York City. | ||
| You know, I love New York City. | ||
| I've lived there on and off, you know, ever since I got out of Harvard, and it's the greatest city in the world. | ||
| It tears people apart to see the anarchy, the chaos that it is devolving into. | ||
| I know so many people, so many friends of mine that have lived there for decades that have left New York City and they love New York City. | ||
| But this is just too dangerous. | ||
| It's too out of control. | ||
| What are you going to do as governor to sort that mess out? | ||
| Because if we don't save New York City, it's going to be very tough to turn the country around. | ||
| Andrew Giuliani. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But you're absolutely right. | |
| But I mean, take a look back to 1991 when Time magazine wrote the famous rotting apple cover about what had happened in New York. | ||
| They thought New York was ungovernable. | ||
| Then there was another handsome guy named Giuliani who came in a couple years later and was able to actually tame it, take murders down from 2200 a year to literally within five years, less than 500 a year. | ||
| And then even for the first year or two of de Blasio's administration, he couldn't mess it up. | ||
| He finally did. | ||
| We started seeing crime literally Double over the last three years. | ||
| So first and foremost, as Governor Steve, you have to get rid of bail reform. | ||
| It's that simple. | ||
| This is a problem that we focus on in New York City and the national media focus on New York City. | ||
| But it's happening in Albany. | ||
| It's happening in Binghamton. | ||
| It's happening in Rochester, who had the most murders ever in recorded history. | ||
| So from the governor's perspective, getting rid of bail reform is number one. | ||
| I'll tell you what also I'll do. | ||
| On day one, which I think will be really effective in terms of putting pressure on the mayor. | ||
| I will make sure, as I have control of the MTA, the governor has, that goes back to a Robert Moses deal 80 years ago. | ||
| I will make sure that the subways are the safest and cleanest subway ride that you can have in the United States of America. | ||
| If you do that, New Yorkers, New York City residents, will see a real juxtaposition between the safety they feel on the subways and what they feel above ground. | ||
| Hold on, hang on, you're telling me the powers in New York State because of Moses, the guy that built everything in New York City. | ||
| You're saying because of the deal Moses has, the governor has the ability to take over, was it MTA or the subway system? | ||
|
unidentified
|
The MTA, so the subways... | |
| Exactly. | ||
| The MTA, the subways, and the Metro North. | ||
| And that goes back to an old power struggle between Moses and Fiorello LaGuardia, who was mayor during the 40s, who Moses absolutely hated, and he controlled the governor up in Albany. | ||
| So he put the MTA board seats up in Albany so the governor has more board seats than the mayor does. | ||
| So that's power that we would ultimately take the very first day and we would start addressing crime from the subways and the platforms. | ||
| And like I said, that's a real juxtaposition. | ||
| Do your advisors tell you, do you have the power, do you believe you have the power as governor to fire the district attorney in New York City? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And put somebody in there? | ||
| You do? | ||
| Would you fire the district attorney? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, I would. | |
| And I've stated it and I'll state it again. | ||
| Article 2, Section 1 of the New York State Constitution gives the governor the power to fire any of the 62 district attorneys. | ||
| District attorneys like Alvin Bragg, who decide not to prosecute resisting arrest and armed robbery, or any other Soros-funded DA. | ||
| The truth is, Steve, the one up in Rochester might be even worse, to be perfectly honest, than Bragg. | ||
| As tough as that might be to admit. | ||
| But there are about seven or eight around the state of New York that honestly need to get their pink slip on day one. | ||
| They're very simple. | ||
| I will give them their pink slip on day one. | ||
| You're going to fire seven district attorneys that are source-backed on day one as governor, correct? | ||
|
unidentified
|
If they choose to not execute their oath of office the way that Alvin Bragg has, then absolutely. | |
| I think they have violated their oath of office to the New York State Constitution and to the 19.5 million New Yorkers. | ||
| So as governor, I'm responsible. | ||
| The buck stops with me. | ||
| And I need to make sure that our citizens are safe. | ||
| And if you have a guy like Alvin Bragg in there, he has admitted, just through his actions, that he is going to make the streets and life for New Yorkers, their quality of life, that much worse. | ||
| I need to protect my citizens. | ||
| That's an action plan. | ||
| Andrew, how do people find out more about you and find out more about your campaign, sir? | ||

| My father has said he's gonna pay me back for my tactics on his Inauguration Day. | ||
| So I need to make sure you're in between us and you can stop me. | ||
| Andrew Giuliani. | ||
| You've got the same steel that your father has, Rudy. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| Honored to have you on here. | ||
| I want everybody to get in there and find out more about Andrew Giuliani. | ||
| Huge race. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you, Steve. | |
| Turn this country around. | ||
| Turn this country around. | ||
| You've got to turn New York City around. | ||
| You have to. | ||
| The way to turn New York City around, you're not going to do it with the mayor, you're not going to do it with the DA, you're not going to do it with these progressive Democrats that are destroying the school system, that are destroying minority students. | ||
| The Hispanics and African Americans ought to rise up and back MAGA candidates. | ||
| They're going to clean up this mess and this nonsense. | ||
| Okay, we're going to take a short break. | ||
| We've got Vernon Jones. | ||
| We've got Dr. Maria Ryan. | ||
| We've got Dave Brat. | ||
| We've got Philip Patrick. | ||
| We're doing it all. | ||
| And guest appearance by, wait for it, Joe Biden next in War Room. | ||
|
unidentified
|
War Room. | |
| Pandemic. | ||
| With Stephen K. Banham. | ||
| The epidemic is a demon, and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| War Room. | ||
| Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Okay, we got so many verticals going on here, and you see the show, but remember, we're behind the scenes, we're working all these different groups. | ||
| Every day, our task and purpose on November 8th, the evening of, we will see the destruction of the Democratic Party as a national political institution, okay? | ||
| It is outused its usefulness, and now, quite frankly, it's a harm and danger to the country. | ||
| Okay, so we're going to take care of, we're going to take care of the ballot box. | ||
| And they're going to fight all the way, and you see the change in the narrative. | ||
| They're going to come up with all types of things between now and then. | ||
| We've got more work to do. | ||
| Then you can believe, I think, 200 days or just under 200 days. | ||
| So, strap in. | ||
| It's only going to get harder, right? | ||
| The only easy day was yesterday, as I think the Navy SEALs say. | ||
| So, just strap in. | ||
| You've got to fight every day. | ||
| To do that, you need a great night's sleep. | ||
| Go to MyPillow.com, promo code War Room, get the Giza Dream Sheets. | ||
| These sales are not going to stick around forever, right? | ||
| Up to 60% off, as low as $39.99, and of course, the pillow is as low as $19.99. | ||
| Two things we got going for us is sleep and caffeine. | ||
| Okay, we're talking about caffeine a little later in the show. | ||
| You notice I'm a little more jacked up the last couple of days because we've been working on something. | ||
| I think we can announce it today or tomorrow, but you guys are going to love it. | ||
| We bring the fire. | ||
| Okay, somebody brings the fire is Vernon Jones. | ||
| Vernon, you're running down in Georgia 10 for a federal office for a congressional seat and a very tough primary, but I want to... Something happened the other day during Easter week. | ||
| It was Congressman Omar and you know the great Royce White's up there Tangling with that situation up in the great city of Minneapolis, which also happens to be the headquarters of MyPillow.com But and he's saying but she made a comment there There was a group or some group that helps people Chris and they were singing, you know, it's kind of that the that that folk music type of Christian music and some people love that right and I think some of us traditional Catholics are not quite fans, but we have no problem if we want to do it. | ||
| And she put out a very snarky tweet, and I think you and Royce White particularly took her on. | ||
| Then you got some blowback on that. | ||
| Tell us what's going on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, Steve, you know, it's a spiritual issue, and you want to elevate God and just sing and pray like King David did. | |
| What is wrong with that? | ||
| I tell you, Vernon, we're going to have to reboot you because there's only about every fifth word coming in. | ||
| Let's reboot Vernon so we need to hear this and let's see, do we have Dr. Maria Ryan? | ||
| Can we get Dr. Maria Ryan up? | ||
| Dr. Maria Ryan. | ||
| You have me! | ||
| We'll slot you, we'll slot you, we'll slot you, we'll slot you, and then we'll come, we'll bring Verna back in a second. | ||
| Look, you were on the show, the 6 o'clock show last night, and you had heads blown up. | ||
| You had this, you were giving us a report on Title 42 and your experience as a hospital administrator running a hospital up in New Hampshire and kind of one of these rural areas. | ||
| And you brought up the fact that, hey, you know, it's not COVID, and that's the 42. | ||
| They've used 42 for a different reason. | ||
| It has nothing to do with COVID. | ||
| President Trump did, but these guys don't. | ||
| But he said the bigger problem, we do have a pandemic in this country, and the pandemic is fentanyl. | ||
| And you drop a statistic that even I had missed about the press release from CDC. | ||
| Can you walk, I want our audience to fully embrace the new opium war that we're facing by the Chinese Communist Party and their partners, the Quinteros of Mexico, because this is signal, not noise. | ||
| Ukraine is noise. | ||
| This is signal. | ||
| And I understand folks are dying in Ukraine, and we're all for de-escalation. | ||
| You got guys like Jeffrey Sachs, who we're no fan of, and he hates us. | ||
| Saying you got to get to the table. | ||
| You've got people in the Financial Times now saying that. | ||
| You've got Clint Watts, the West Point grad that's the FBI guy. | ||
| He's a guy who hates us too, but he does very good briefings. | ||
| He's saying yesterday on MSNBC, hey, you've got to get peace talks going. | ||
| Because people are dying and the EU and NATO are not really coming to their aid and they've misled the Ukrainian people. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| That border is not in our vital national security interests. | ||
| That border is not even in our national security interests. | ||
| That's a European deal. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| And we bailed them out in World War I. We bailed them out in World War II. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| With our blood and treasure, we bailed them out. | ||
| We bailed them out in the Cold War. | ||
| It's time that they got to step up to the plate with the Germans, and given all this funny thing, they're going to ban Russian oil. | ||
| Well, they ain't talking about banning Russian gas. | ||
| Until the Europeans get off their butts and start taking care of business, we have no dog in this fight. | ||
| And when I sit there and hammer every day about this fetish they have, that the Atlantis' have, for the post-war liberal rules-based order, What is it? | ||
| Ed, the guy at the Financial Times, Luce, who's no fan of War Room or myself personally, he's up there today in a column saying Biden's got to stop talking about that. | ||
| He's got to stop talking about the rules-based order. | ||
| You know why? | ||
| I said this is why I said the other day. | ||
| Come to the Congress, and if not a declaration of war, at least pull the trigger on the War Powers Act. | ||
| Where are the Republican congressmen? | ||
| Put down your pom-poms as Zelensky fanboys. | ||
| This is serious. | ||
| And I tell you what, I'd like to take a poll of the dead women and children in Ukraine and see what their vote would be, because they would vote with my program. | ||
| Just put the pom-poms down and get real, and get focused. | ||
| And yes, because I said, when Biden comes forward, he's got to make the case for the post-war international rules-based order. | ||
| And it's not sellable. | ||
| In the Financial Times, the tip sheet for the party of Davos understands that and loses the worst. | ||
| And he understands that. | ||
| It's not sellable, because we underwrite it. | ||
| That's why we have a trillion dollar defense bill that's also not sustainable, and you're going to have Dave Brad on here, and Philip Patrick on here, and other experts on here to talk about how it's not sustainable, and how we're not just burying the country today, we're burying every person under 35 years old. | ||
| Any person, they're sitting there going, you know, he doesn't have climate change, and that's why young people are not... | ||
| Any person under 35 years old that votes for this group of thieves, you deserve to be a Russian serf. | ||
| You deserve to be impoverished. | ||
| You've got all the information you need. | ||
| We put it out there. | ||
| If you're under 35 and you're voting for these thieves, you deserve what you get. | ||
| You're free people living in a free country. | ||
| I understand, hey, sometimes it ain't as free as it should be, but it is what it is right now. | ||
| But you've got enough access to information to find out. | ||
| Get off your butts and find out what's going on. | ||
| If you vote for this crap, you deserve to be a Russian, sir. | ||
| If you deserve to not own anything, you deserve to be on the wheel. | ||
| They got you on the wheel, they get you a little bit of credit. | ||
| Okay, we're gonna get back to Vern in a second. | ||
| But hey, let me give you a signal, not noise. | ||
| Fentanyl. | ||
| Dr. Maria Ryan, walk me through what the CDC is now saying about the warning they're giving about fentanyl now. | ||
| So it's been published for quite a long time that the leading cause of death for the age groups 18 to 45 is definitely fentanyl poisoning, fentanyl overdoses. | ||
| It is not COVID-19, it is not car accidents, it is not cancer. | ||
| They now, yesterday, lowered the age to 13. | ||
| I gave your producers several articles of young teens dying from fentanyl poisoning And they're getting it on social media. | ||
| You don't know what your children are doing on social media and there's a lot of pressure and there's what I call pushers on social media who try to make it cool to purchase a Percocet or some marijuana and even marijuana is being laced with this fentanyl. | ||
| Fentanyl is 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine. | ||
| It takes a small amount To kill you. | ||
| And last night on your program, I actually didn't finish a statement. | ||
| There was a seizure in Orange County, California. | ||
| It was 13 pounds of fentanyl and I didn't say it correctly. | ||
| It was enough to kill 4.7 million Americans. | ||
| We have now seized 11,000 pounds. | ||
| Americans. We have now seized 11,000 pounds. This is war. | ||
| Why is China continuing to work with the cartels to put it in our drugs? | ||
| Is it to cause a chaos? | ||
| What is it? | ||
| Is it disruption? | ||
| They absolutely know this is killing people. | ||
| And it's killing now our teenagers. | ||
| And we have to, as parents, speak to our kids about it. | ||
| It's not a simple pill to make you feel a little better, or a simple puff of marijuana. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You will die if you take this fentanyl. | |
| Again, a very small amount will kill you. | ||
| Yeah, you've seen this in the situation with the West Point students and the Hollywood people out there in Venice, that this is a pandemic. | ||
| Real quickly though, and by the way, thank you. | ||
| I actually thought you did say 4.7 million. | ||
| My producer said you actually said 4.7 people. | ||
| So yeah, 13 pounds could kill 4.7 million Americans. | ||
| Okay, so parents got to have the talk. | ||
| Kids gotta get savvy. | ||
| We need to do all that. | ||
| The just say no on this stuff. | ||
| However, what direct action can the government be doing on the southern border to stop the the combination of the Chinese tongs and the Chinese Communist Party with the cartels? | ||
| And quite frankly, a lot of people in the Mexican government looking the other way. | ||
| They get to get this killer drug into the United States. | ||
| We have to shut down the border. | ||
| It is that simple. | ||
| We need to get control again when we have allowed 1.3 million people that we know of cross that border illegally. | ||
| How are they going to follow our rules? | ||
| They are so confused or they're so happy that we have an administration that does not follow the rules of the land. | ||
| There should be consequences for this Biden administration not following the laws we have on the books, but we have to shut it down. | ||
| We have to stop the flow of fentanyl, sex trafficking, human trafficking. | ||
| That's a whole other issue, what's going on. | ||
| This is a human being crisis. | ||
| And Kamala Harris, the Biden administration are complicit in all of it. | ||
| Right now, Biden just stood in front of this camera and said, we're going to escalate. | ||
| We're giving more arms right now to Ukraine. | ||
| It's an escalation. | ||
| He's escalating. | ||
| Macron to win is de-escalating. | ||
| We've got to de-escalate this thing. | ||
| We've got to escalate on the southern border, de-escalate on the Ukrainian border. | ||
| Dr. Maria Ryan, how do people get to you? | ||
| DrMariaRyan.com and on Getter at DrMaria, Twitter at MariaRyanNH. | ||
| And I have to say, I loved your talk. | ||
| We have to reject the globalism and start looking out for America first. | ||
| They want to flatten us. | ||
| They want a one world currency and they want to destroy America. | ||
| It's not gonna happen on our watch. | ||

War Room. | |
| Pandemic. | ||
| When there's no more, let's take down the CCP! | ||
| War Room. Pandemic. With Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| War Room. | ||
| Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| OK, we're going to get Vernon Jones reboot it and we'll get him back up in the 11 o'clock hour. | ||
| A lot to report there. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Biden just gave a talk. | ||
| More of your tax dollars in weapons. | ||
| And are the arms makers making 20% profits off this stuff? | ||
| Is that what we're doing? | ||
| We're just underwriting this now. | ||
| 800 million dollars a couple weeks ago, 500 million dollars. | ||
| Just simple math. | ||
| I think it's 1.3 billion. | ||
| What's the Arms Makers? | ||
| Why are they doing this? | ||
| The Liz Cheney donors? | ||
| Remember Liz Cheney just, they announced numbers, Liz Cheney's got record numbers, not from Wyoming, no, they were not being by Wyoming, from Virginia, Northern Virginia. | ||
| The Defense Contractor Corridor out there by Dulles Airport. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That's who funded her. | ||
| Should we make it illegal for these arms? | ||
| Why are arms makers allowed to give to political campaigns? | ||
| Why is that? | ||
| Why is that when they're 80, 90 percent funded by the U.S. | ||
| government and all the research is funded by the U.S. | ||
| government? | ||
| Your tax dollars? | ||
| This is why Ed Looson, they tell him, do not talk about the post-war international rules-based order. | ||
| Because they understand my argument blows them up. | ||
| It's not sustainable. | ||
| That order is a combination of capital markets, commercial relationships, trade deals, and an American security guarantee with both your sons and daughters and your money. | ||
| That's why our defense bill is a trillion dollars. | ||
| That's why we have a structural deficit in, wait for it, perpetuity. | ||
| You know what perpetuity means? | ||
| A long time. | ||
| In perpetuity. | ||
| Also, for the Republicans, for McCarthy and Mitch McConnell, all this talk there, Correct me if I'm wrong, I think the debt ceiling comes up right after, I think it's November 23rd, I think that would be, what, two weeks after the election? | ||
| There are no easy choices left for American society, American culture, the American political class. | ||
| Okay, I'm bringing in Dave Brett now. | ||
| I'm gonna get to Ben Harnwell momentarily. | ||
| I got Philip Patrick coming on, but I gotta get to Brett. | ||
| Brett, we had this deal in the 1960s with the guns and butters of Lyndon Johnson. | ||
| We're gonna fully pay for the Vietnam War, and we're gonna have the defense country make all kind of money out of that, where 50,000 American boys get slaughtered over in Vietnam for something we just walk away from, and then let the Vietnamese people take the brunt of it with, you know, the worst You know, the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia and what happened in Vietnam afterwards. | ||
| A great moment for the Democratic Party, let me tell you. | ||
| A great moment. | ||
| We just walked away. | ||
| And left all of that there. | ||
| Left all the dead that gave all the agony of Vietnam, right? | ||
| But just walked away from it. | ||
| But at the same time, paid for the Great Society. | ||
| We've got that going on right now. | ||
| We want to pay for the defense of the international rules-based order. | ||
| This is an order, if it worked I'd be all for it, this is an order to allow China to go from a trillion dollar economy in 1999 to a 20 trillion dollar economy today, and to be an existential threat to the American people, American citizens, and to the Chinese people. | ||
| They just unleashed a bioweapon on you a couple years ago, what does it take to wake you up? | ||
| So Dave, we're going to pay for the whole thing, and you've seen Congress, they just got the printing press going, tell me Because you're an old-school Mill Freeman guy and a kind of a Paul Volcker guy. | ||
| It's just not the cost of money, it's the supply of money. | ||
| And as long as you keep cranking the mills, you're not going to turn this thing around, Dave Brat. | ||
| Yeah, well, Steve, I think the great thing about you and your show is you put it all together. | ||
| You are a moral philosopher in the line of a good one, Adam Smith, and a bad one, Karl Marx. | ||
| They were moral philosophers. | ||
| And the reason people love it when you go on your rants is because you put it all together in a package that makes sense. | ||
| I saw a very disturbing graphic the other night on Tucker. | ||
| He had, after the 07-08 financial crisis, which you always frame as being the proximate cause of this disaster, The use of racism goes into full bore by the oligarch elitists, right? | ||
| When the Washington Post and New York Times and all of them in coordination, they are not in charge of anything. | ||
| It's the oligarchs in charge, right? | ||
| So this is the beginning of the turning point. | ||
| This is 14 years ago when the American people should have started saying, whoa, I'm scratching my head. | ||
| What's going on here? | ||
| But now you've put together the entire package. | ||
| That incident right there, the 07-08, I'm not going to gloss over it. | ||
| That ruined our economy for a generation, as you say, serfs, right? | ||
| The young generation are serfs because of that event. | ||
| So the entire Fed should have been fired back then. | ||
| All the institutions should have been corrected back then. | ||
| But no, the Republicans, like you just said, are lacking any leadership. | ||
| Uh, and didn't take care of those jobs. | ||
| And so now the receipts are in, right? | ||
| Your show categorizes it. | ||
| Tucker does a great job. | ||
| A lot of people, kids don't get the systematic part of this, right? | ||
| They don't know philosophy, theology, the systematic, everything, all this works together. | ||
| The Matrix is a great movie for the young generation if you want to see the system in front of your eyeballs. | ||
| But we got receipts in now from the CIA, the FBI, the Department of Justice is now canceling homemakers, the State Department. | ||
| We got big crime. | ||
| We got the corruption in the church. | ||
| We got big everything. | ||
| We got ESG like you surveyed yesterday with black rockets that are all controlling. | ||
| Federal Reserve is out of control. | ||
| They need to be fired. | ||
| We've got the Supreme Court. | ||
| You filed 30 trillion in debt. | ||
| K-12 is now grooming your kids. | ||
| Most all this is federal, even the moms, right? | ||
| The moms who are in an uproar were on your show yesterday. | ||
| She did a great job saying that even at the local school board issues, the superintendents are in charge and they have state agencies and they got federal agencies. | ||
| It's all being pushed from the Fed. | ||
| And so to tie it all up in a bow, The solution here is we have to start voting, as you're saying here, against these debt ceilings. | ||
| Everyone says, well, there's a little risk. | ||
| If you do that, there's a little risk to the economy, right? | ||
| There's a risk to Western civilization, if you haven't noticed. | ||
| The thing I just read off, in what you survey every day, And tied together is an attack on the institutions. | ||
| This is not about little tax rate reductions for corporate America and little, you know, Republicans are always great on policy or whatever. | ||
| But the very institutions, right, the institutions of the rule of law, constitutional government, private property rights, small business is the clearest sign they're clearly under attack. | ||
| The big tech firms, the big five tech firms are worth Right. | ||
| Their market cap is equal to all of Europe or all of China combined. | ||
| That's not a typo. | ||
| And so we the American people, what I think the left likes, right, is when we all react instant by instance by instance to just the latest outrage. | ||
| Don't do that. | ||
| Tie it all together. | ||
| Tie all these issues together. | ||
| present them systematically as a package because that will start to change minds and hearts and put people back in action. | ||
| I'm not trying to disparage individuals. | ||
| I do that on occasion, but that's not what this is about. | ||
| But when you got, because when you were first introduced to me, you were a professor at Randolph-Macon University teaching economics, and you're a believer in Adam Smith and Milton Friedman and all that. | ||
| When you got to Capitol Hill, what is the level of understanding, not just the Republicans, Democrats, Of our monetary system, and how important the currency is, and how the currency kind of underpins everything. | ||
| Is there a, on a scale from one to ten, ten being complete, total understanding, one being they can't fog a mirror in regards to, where do the people up there stand? | ||
| Yeah, well, intellectually, even some of the Democrats, I used to sit with the Democrats all the time, the intelligence level is actually above average, significantly. | ||
| They're very street smart in front of people, etc. | ||
| But they lack any backbone. | ||
| And when it comes time to taking votes on tough issues or standing up in public and confronting, we have everybody come before us, right? | ||
| We got the head of the Fed come before us, we got the head of the Treasury, we got the head of the World Bank, we got the head of everybody comes before us. | ||
| And we all just are polite. | ||
| While these institutions that I just ran through, right, CIA, FBI, are fraudulent and corrupt to the core. | ||
| And so that's more the problem. | ||
| When leadership says, this ain't our issue, you know, we got to first win the next election, Dave, you know, you got to, it's got to, it's got to be team ball. | ||
| And then people kind of go along. | ||
| That's the issue. | ||
| It's not lack of intelligence. | ||
| It's just lack of fortitude. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And they think, you know, political will. | |
| Yeah, right. | ||
| And a lot of people think they work for the leadership instead of the people. | ||
| Here's what's going to galvanize it. | ||
| This is what a fourth term is about. | ||
| We had the 2008 financial crisis. | ||
| We didn't really learn anything. | ||
| We just blew up the balance sheet of the Fed and allowed the wealthy to have the greatest concentration of wealth. | ||
| in American history. You then had the CCP biological weapon, right? We haven't learned from that yet. We're now in another financial... | ||
| and we're hurtling towards a financial crisis. Here's my point, I'll put my Goldman Sachs hat on. We used to go and do the analysis in companies to talk about either raising capital or selling divisions or selling the company or going public. | ||
| This is not sustainable. | ||
| If this was sustainable, I wouldn't be on this soapbox. | ||
| It's simply not sustainable. | ||
| And adults have to stand up. | ||
| What Brett's saying is, hey, hey, they're smart enough up there. | ||
| It's about political will. | ||
| Now, we need leaders to step up and say, we just can't keep going on this path. | ||
| And yes, the solutions are not painless. | ||
| They're going to require pain of certain elements of our culture and society. | ||
| Dave Brett. | ||
| Yeah, well, I hate to beat a dead horse on free markets, but I think you make the right distinctions, right? | ||
| We're for small business free markets. | ||
| We're not for oligarchy and supposed free markets, right? | ||
| We stand for that system. | ||
| And so when you talk about the next financial crisis, right now we see the real economy, how weak it is. | ||
| The Fed knows, and probably it's been articulated almost publicly, that two half point rate increases, two raising the interest rate by half a point and then a half a point, could crush the entire economy. | ||
| So I rest my case on the white corpse laying on a table economy. | ||
| When they're admitting Volcker raised it probably by five or six percent at a single slug back when you had a real economy that could respond. | ||
| And so when I say the free market system, this is not ideology for capitalists. | ||
| It's putting the economy back in the hands of business people. | ||
| And that's what is missing right now. | ||
| The elites are in full control of everything. | ||
| We're in danger of having the everything bubble pop for real and setting us back another generation. | ||
| And that's for real. | ||
| And so they're working out the delicate, you know, smooth balance. | ||
|

|
One other quick point I'll just put rules versus discretion at the Fed. | |
| The elites and the geniuses, right? | ||
| Maestro, Greenspan was the maestro, the genius, and he's smart guy. | ||
| You know, I like parts of his thought. | ||
| But this rules versus discretion, skip them. | ||
| Get rid of the Fed, everything. | ||
| All these people that say they're smarter than you, they've just ruined your generation back in 07, 08. | ||
| Now they're ruining a generation for your kids now. | ||
| Get rid of them. | ||
| Let the Fed follow a monetary rule. | ||
| You can learn that your freshman year in college. | ||
| Put a rule in place, money grows at the same rate as the economy, and that's it. | ||
| And get rid of all the floors of all these PhD economists who have ruined our economy and your kids' lives. | ||
| Okay, I'm going to have Brad back on. | ||
| That's the buried lead. | ||
| We'll have him back on to do that. | ||
| The discount rate, the cost of money between the banks. | ||
| Volcker took it from 5%, I think, to 10%. | ||
| It's 500 basis points, right? | ||
| Yes! | ||
| Now you're talking about 25 basis points is going to kill the economy. | ||
| Brad's just saying, hey, these tiny incremental changes, guys, you can't do it. | ||
| You've got to throw us the biggest recession in human history. | ||
| The corpse of the underlying economy is dead. | ||
| Dave Brat, we've got to bounce. | ||
| You're a rock star. | ||
| We'll have you back here to talk more monetary policy in the next couple of days. | ||
| God bless everyone. | ||
| Okay, we're gonna go. | ||
| We got Philip Patrick. | ||
| We got Ben Harnwell. | ||
| We're gonna go through the 60 Days of Pain in the next hour. | ||
| The upcoming calendar of the primaries is gonna get a little testy. | ||
| Starting in Ohio on Saturday, big rally with President Trump and his, um, J.D. | ||
| Vance, who he's given the endorsement to. | ||
| So it's a big rally there in Ohio. | ||
| And the primary season is really going to kick off. | ||
| Announcement? | ||
| You know, don't say it had anything to do with me calling out Jake Corman in the A Block, but Jake Corman is going to make a big announcement at 3 p.m. | ||
| in Pennsylvania about, wait for it, the election of 3 November 2020. | ||
| He's going to be on the show here at 5 o'clock tonight. | ||
| Be back in a moment. | ||

| I will hold that for after November 8th, and we'll see what happens on that one. | ||
| I want to go now to Philip Patrick at Birchgold. | ||
| Philip, we just had Dave Brad on here. | ||
| You know, Biden just steps up a few minutes ago, I think in the Roosevelt Room, talks about another $500 million in military aid in another escalatory thing by the United States when you don't have the Germans or the Italians saying, no, we're not going to buy any more gas in rubles. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| You get this whole thing completely upside down. | ||
| And, you know, we've been in with you and I want to say we've been going back and looking at the politics of money and the history of the politics of money. | ||
| And Philip and the guys at Birchgold have helped me. | ||
| I had this idea and came to them and they said, let's do this. | ||
| To actually start to give people access on how to think about it more than just the show. | ||
| And so today, we're finally, after Philip Patrick corrects my grammar one more time in the charts, one more pass-through, we're going to put out hopefully tomorrow and over the weekend, we want everybody to go to birchgold.com slash Bannon, and you can sign up for free to get the end of the dollar empire. | ||
| This is going to have a bigger impact than I think that anything, maybe, let me leave transhumanism over there to the side, but this is pure signal, no noise. | ||
| And we start off by talking about the Fed, but really talk about what led to the Fed, and particularly the 19th century. | ||
| Remember, your political heritage, the heritage of this country, the heritage of free men and women, has been a long fight from the founding of our nation until the Federal Reserve of really A lot of it about a fight about currency, a fight about money, a fight about the cost of capital, a fight about the central nature of decision making on that. | ||
| You look at the 19th century and look at it through this prism. | ||
| It's quite extraordinary. | ||
| That's one of the things we're kicked off in here. | ||
| Philip, how can Biden and these guys go forward and sit in front of the camera every day and talk about this guns and butter philosophy they have that has inflation running out of control? | ||
| I mean, Put in perspective, how bad is this going to get in your perspective? | ||
| It's already bad, and it's their inability to accept reality that I think is the most concerning thing. | ||
| I mean, he came out and gave a speech at the New Hampshire Port Authority, and I think what he was trying to get across to Americans was that he was reducing the debt. | ||
| Which is absolutely bananas, as we know. | ||
| It's grown exponentially under the Biden administration. | ||
| You know, what's so concerned is they're spending huge amounts of money in newly printed money in order to finance a huge amount of harebrained schemes. | ||
| What's the outcome? | ||
| Inflation higher than it's been in 40 years. | ||
| Now, the Dems desperately looking for a scapegoat. | ||
| And he pushed that same line in his speech. | ||
| He blamed, and we've sort of covered this, but he blamed inflation on two key things. | ||
| Number one, COVID supply chain issues, which I thought he bizarrely followed up by appeal for more domestic spending on infrastructure, which makes no sense. | ||
| And secondly, of course, Vladimir Putin, although he followed that up immediately by saying, and that's not a joke. | ||
| It's almost like they don't believe it anymore. | ||
| Now, let's just touch on some facts very quickly. | ||
| Before a single Russian food truck stood in Ukraine, inflation in the U.S. | ||
| was at 7.9%. | ||
| Today, 8.8%. | ||
| Before a single shot was fired in Kiev, oil was over $90 a barrel. | ||
| Today, $103. | ||
| So it's very clear prices were surging long before the invasion. | ||
| But here's what has me really concerned. | ||
| This administration, they don't care about legitimate economic growth and prosperity. | ||
| This woke administration has published a woke budget with woke economic policy, full of sex and gender mandates, massive welfare spending without birth requirement, and to finance it all with trillions of dollars of newly printed money. | ||
| This woke economic Bible is called modern monetary theory. | ||
| And what it tells us is we can spend as much as we like without causing inflation to rise. | ||
| We're seeing this theory outcrashed and burned, but the Biden regime is not going to change its course, because what that means is accepting responsibility for their mistakes. | ||
| And as we've seen, that's something that's impossible for these guys to do. | ||
| So, as I've said before, as long as they are here, as long as they continue these policies, things could get very, very bad and already starting to happen. | ||
| Okay, Philip, just hang on. | ||
| We're going to take a short break and I'd like you to stay. | ||
| I know you're pressed for time, but I want you to stay for a few minutes until the start of the next hour. | ||
| Philip gave you a buried lead there. | ||
| The Biden administration understands that the common sense of the American people, they understand that this thing can't go on forever. | ||
| The working men and women in this country understand it's unsustainable because it's unsustainable in their own life. | ||
| That's why they keep pitching, oh, we're cutting the budget deficit. | ||
| We're actually cutting the deficit. | ||
| Because they understand people, but it's a total lie. | ||
| It's a complete and total lie. | ||
| And back to what Dave Brat said and connected to Philip Patrick is that the real economy is really like a corpse right now. | ||
| The only reason you see any growth at all is this phony growth of just increasing the money supply and spending, spending, spending, which is ephemeral. | ||
| And this is the dilemma we have. | ||
| This is one of the great, this is a crisis right now. | ||
| And how we get out of it is not gonna be painless. | ||
| People like Ronald Reagan and Paul Volcker don't come along that often, okay? | ||
| That's what saved the nation in the late 70s and the early 80s, were Volcker and Ronald Reagan. | ||
| Just like Reagan had Thatcher and had St. | ||
| John Paul II for the global geopolitics of taking down the Soviet Union, he had Paul Volcker. | ||
| We ain't got a Paul Volcker right now. | ||
| Not with Powell. | ||
| Okay, Philip Patrick, short commercial break. |
