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. | ||
| 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 100 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, then the worst happens. | ||

War Room. | |
| Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Okay, welcome back. | ||
| We're live. | ||
| Whenever you go to Worm.org, make sure you download the podcast. | ||
| If you don't catch everything on the live, you can listen to it later. | ||
| Of course, live, we show the charts, everything like that, and on the podcast, we do put out a newsletter. | ||
| Sign up for that to try to explain to folks on the podcast some of the details you might not get if you're not seeing it on television or streaming. | ||
| We want to thank Real America's Voice, John Furnish Radio, of course, G News, and the team over there that livestream us in Mandarin. | ||
| Up on Getter now, too, the Getter numbers are absolutely filthy. | ||
| It's incredible, the scale with Getter. | ||
| I also want to thank our sponsors, particularly Lee Greenwood, who had his Bible, he put together a Bible with the King James Version of the Old and New Testament, and the divinely inspired founding documents of our beloved Republic, and it was rejected by his publisher. | ||
| And so he came to a marketing company and then we partnered with him. | ||
| Go to GodBlessTheUSABible.com. | ||
| Check it out. | ||
| It's something I think you don't want for your family, but something you will use with your family every night. | ||
| Very inspirational and a real learning device, particularly having these divinely inspired founding documents all in one location. | ||
| So go to GodBlessTheUSABible.com, put in War Room, you get free shipping and handling, which is quite important because it is heavy. | ||
| Okay, I want to go back to Cortez. | ||
| Cortez, give us that again on the manufacturing side, because I've got to talk about Nancy Pelosi's open-ended commitment. | ||
| I want to make sure we get all the numbers up on the screen, what the numbers are for the Senate, what the numbers are for the House. | ||
| I want the phone lines to start being lit up today. | ||
| I bet there's $33 billion. | ||
| Not one red cent. | ||
| Not one red cent of American money, of deplorables tax money. | ||
| Here's the reason. | ||
| We're broke. | ||
| We're beyond broke. | ||
| Okay, and you, the deplorables, are the creditors committee. | ||
| So if you act like adults, you'll force the children that are the Republican Party to act like adults, because they're all skipping around with the pom-poms for Zelensky. | ||
| We've got them off that. | ||
| You notice they've been a little silent about that? | ||
| That's not because they don't want to put the pom-poms up. | ||
| And by the way, everybody in Conservative Inc. | ||
| that's got a pom-pom out for Zelensky, they're gimps. | ||
| So just discount everything they say. | ||
| They're not looking at this. | ||
| Grinnell just gave you real politique. | ||
| The soccer moms of Frankfurt are living the high life. | ||
| You know why? | ||
| Because they can listen to Greta. | ||
| Because you're paying for it. | ||
| Your blood and treasure are playing for their defense. | ||
| And quite frankly, they're underwritten by cheap Russian gas. | ||
| Russia played them. | ||
| Now they're totally beholden. | ||
| And they can't do it. | ||
| That's their fault. | ||
| Ukraine is a European problem. | ||
| You see the day in the Daily Mail, I put on my getter account, China is getting ready to go to kinetic war in Taiwan and they're getting their financial house in order because they saw the moves we made, which we telegraphed against Russia, of which I advise we should use against the Central Bank of China for many, many years. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| It's one of the reasons I'm sanctioned by China. | ||
| I'm sanctioned by the Chinese Communist Party individually. | ||
| Right? | ||
| I'm sanctioned. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why? | |
| Because I am the head of the Super Hawks, which knows they're a transnational criminal organization and want to see them destroyed brick by brick to assist the Chinese people, Lao Bai Jing, in their freedom. | ||
| They're getting ready for war, and they're getting ready for economic, cyber, and information war. | ||
| And also, obviously, the kinetic, because they're coming. | ||
| They're coming rolling. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| They're getting prepared. | ||
| That is in the vital, let me underline vital about ten times, national security interests of the United States. | ||
| And a couple of guys in my Gary account say, well, Steve, we've got to focus on America. | ||
| I got that. | ||
| But here, leave the moral thing aside. | ||
| We don't have a choice. | ||
| This is Silicon Valley West. | ||
| You think you have a problem getting an F-100 after a year because you don't have a chip? | ||
| We lose Taiwan. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, it is game over. | ||
| You're going to see a 25% drop in your economy. | ||
| You're going to see a depression that's going to make the 1932, 31, and 32 look like child's play, look like a church picnic, okay? | ||
| You don't understand. | ||
| We're exposed here. | ||
| We're exposed in the Pacific. | ||
| We have no exposure over the Ukraine. | ||
| That is a border conflict on Russian-speaking eastern border of Ukraine. | ||
| And what Kamala Harris says, it's about their sovereignty and their territorial integrity and their self-determination. | ||
| Hey, that's for them. | ||
| Our southern border... Did Nancy Pelosi skip the White House correspondent dinner to go to the southern border? | ||
| Did she say we have to have $33 billion immediately for the southern border? | ||
| The 100,000 troops, 100,000 of your sons and daughters. | ||
| And Moe did a tour, did a turn in the barrel over there, right? | ||
| One hundred thousand of your sons and daughters are there. | ||
| That's more the combined military. | ||
| Think of all the other nations, at least more combat capability. | ||
| The other one's got, you know, guys and men and women in uniform. | ||
| Look at the budgets. | ||
| Go through the budgets. | ||
| It's all global warming. | ||
| It's health care. | ||
| Show me the weapons. | ||
| Show me the training and show me most of all the interoperability. | ||
| Stavridis and all these clowns on MSNBC, they never want to talk about that. | ||
| NATO right now has a collection of staffs in Brussels in a $2 billion building, you know, having chitchat. | ||
| They won't pay for themselves, because the soccer moms of Frankfurt have never had to be forced to pay for it. | ||
| That's where they live in High on the Hog, on your back, and they want $33 billion? | ||
| Cortez, give us the manufacturing again, and give it to me slowly this time, because I want it to sink in first. | ||
| We are not the country we were in the 1970s when we had the manufacturing base. | ||
| We were a manufacturing powerhouse, titan. | ||
| And we had a balance sheet. | ||
| We were the world's creditor nation. | ||
| Now we're the world's debtor nation and we ship, part of that, the reason we did that, we shipped Wall Street and the Guo Corporation shipped all the jobs over to China. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why? | |
| Because of the slave labor of Lao Bai Jing, who works for a buck a month and has the highest suicide rates. | ||
| Because it's, it's so, it's so, the working conditions are so god-awful. | ||
| Right? | ||
| This all, it all has an eternal logic to it. | ||
| I can understand the math. | ||
| Cortez and I get how the component pieces fit together. | ||
| But this is why this is so complicated now. | ||
| It's going to require knowledge, understanding, wisdom, and steely resolve. | ||
| You can't spin people anymore. | ||
| You've got to explain to the American people, here's exactly where we are, here's how we got here, and here's how we're going to get out. | ||
| And it ain't going to be easy. | ||
| If you think there's an easy solution to this, somebody's going to come and wave a magic wand, you are most assuredly incorrect. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| Incorrect. | ||
| It's going to be tough. | ||
| But you've got to be truthful, people. | ||
| Steve Cortes. | ||
| And Steve, it's going to be tough because the American people have been played for suckers for decades. | ||
| The globalists, the interventionists have played the American people. | ||
| In the case of the Chinese Communist Party, regular working class Americans have been miserably abused for decades by the CCP. | ||
| And when it comes to the interventionists, we have allowed, unfortunately, the globalists of Berlin and Brussels and Davos to largely dictate American policy. | ||
| And we have paid the price, the price in blood, in precious American human lives, and also an enormous price in American treasure. | ||
| And we are not going to allow the ruling class to restart it, because the ruling class sees right now in Ukraine a chance for another Iraq, for another Afghanistan, for another quagmire in which America becomes enmeshed for years, if not decades, of nation-building and intervention. | ||
| And consider this contrast, Steve, of these economic numbers. | ||
| I'll get to the jobs, manufacturing jobs, in just a second. | ||
| But think of these three numbers that we've just gotten over the last few days, right? | ||
| And then contrast that with the idea that we're going to send $33 billion to one of the most corrupt, no strings attached, to one of the most corrupt nations on earth. | ||
| A place where there's a battle going on, a terrible battle, but in which America has no significant U.S. | ||
| national security interest. | ||
| But first, we found out last week that the GDP number went negative. | ||
| Negative. | ||
| The GDP number for folks out there who don't follow economics, it's sort of like the revenue number for a company. | ||
| If the United States were a company, our revenue went negative. | ||
| We are into a recession. | ||
| In my view, the only question is the extent of the recession. | ||
| It's not an if question anymore, it's how bad. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hold it! | |
| the recession get. Then on Friday, we got more evidence of inflation at 40-year highs. The latest read was the PCE, the personal consumption expenditure. It's the preferred inflation read of the Federal Reserve Bank. By the way, former New York Fed Chairman Bill Dudley, he just said that the Fed should be at 2%. We're at 0.5% right now. Now, I think we should be even higher than 2%, but let's say, let's split the difference. We had Dave Bradshaw should be at 6%. | ||
| Hold it. Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. | ||
| Brat, and we're going to get him back on. | ||
| We did the calculation live. | ||
| The Fed funds rate, if it was like, the real number should be six and a half. | ||
| Six and a half. | ||
| We're at 0.5. | ||
| That's how addicted our is. | ||
| Dudley, and we say New York Fed. | ||
| We're going to give you some nomenclature, audience, because you need this. | ||
| When you're throwing it at the cocktail party next week, inverted yield curve. | ||
| OK, I want you to throw that over in the backyard barbecues or on Mother's Day at the brunch. | ||
| We're going to give you another one. | ||
| The New York Fed is the trading desk of the United States government. | ||
| It is the trading desk of the Federal Reserve. | ||
| It's actually, I would argue, the New York Fed is the inside. | ||
| The Palin, the guys at the Fed, the governors are kind of the outside guys. | ||
| The guy that makes the decisions that matter is the head of the New York Fed. | ||
| Is that correct, Steve Cortes? | ||
| That's exactly correct. | ||
| The real power of the Federal Reserve in many ways is not in Washington. | ||
| It's at Lower Manhattan on Maiden Lane. | ||
| It's one of the most fantastic buildings in all of New York, by the way, the New York Fed. | ||
| And you're exactly right. | ||
| The public face is the chairman in D.C., but in many ways, the nuts and bolts, the real activity and the real power is the New York Fed. | ||
| So for a former New York Fed chair to tell us And he reported this to the Wall Street Journal, that the Fed funds rate should be four times higher than it is right now. | ||
| And again, I think he's actually understanding this. | ||
| 4X! | ||
| But even that statement, it tells you he knows how out of control inflation is and how behind we are in trying to fight it. | ||
| Oh, Dudley, something else about Dudley. | ||
| Two things he said. | ||
| It should be at 200 basis points instead of 0.5. | ||
| OK, so 4X, right? | ||
| We're saying, what, 10X? | ||
| But more, as importantly, he says there's basically little chance for a soft landing. | ||
| That's, that's trade or death. | ||
| You're gonna crash. | ||
| This economy's about to crash. | ||
| Is that true? | ||
| Is that how you interpret it, Steve Cortez? | ||
|
unidentified
|
100%. | |
| Look, even in the best sort of circumstances of a slowdown, the Fed has never shown an ability to achieve soft landings. | ||
| That just does not happen historically. | ||
| This is the most difficult circumstance, the Fed. | ||
| Has ever so why would we think that they can land that plane? | ||
| That's that's simply not going to happen. | ||
| It's not going to land softly and a recession is a given in my view Steven. | ||
| We've certainly talked about that for a long time on this show. | ||
| We're the ones who pointed out the inverted yield curve first and but I do want to get to that third data point that I mentioned the first two of inflation terrible GDP print and then just today right as you went to air and if we can put the chart up again, that would be great on on the jobs manufacturing jobs index. | ||
| This is the ISM. | ||
| A lot of folks out there, they don't fall financial marks, probably don't know this, but believe me, on Wall Street, ISM numbers get very serious attention. | ||
| And if you look at that manufacturing trend before this month, it was thankfully upward, not massively so, but an economy that was recovering to some degree. | ||
| Absolutely fell off a cliff. | ||
| This is hot off the presses. | ||
| 70 minutes ago, we got this news all the way down to almost below 50. | ||
| And again, if ISM manufacturing indices, if they go below 50, that means contraction above 50 is an economy that is growing. | ||
| So this Jobs index of manufacturing jobs went all the way down to 50.9, and the trend is very much not our friend right now. | ||
| Inflation is attacking every element of our society. | ||
| It is making Americans poorer by the day. | ||
| That is simply the reality of crashing real wages, and we're seeing it now in the data. | ||
| We're seeing it in financial markets. | ||
| You know, again, this is the worst start for bond markets, Steve, ever. | ||
| I mean, think about that. | ||
| The worst start ever. | ||
| Now, it's a terrible start for stock markets, by the way. | ||
| It's the third worst start to a year for the S&P 500. | ||
| And I know stocks are a lot more fun, honestly, to talk about. | ||
| And a lot of the audience probably prefers to watch stocks to bonds. | ||
| And I get that. | ||
| They're more interesting. | ||
| I'll admit that. | ||
| But guess what? | ||
| The bond market, in many ways, matters way more to your life. | ||
| Because unless you're very wealthy, and unless you have a huge portfolio of stocks, moves in stocks generally just don't have that big a near-term impact on your day-to-day life. | ||
| But moves in interest rates, as I showed in that Chalk Talk, what interest rates are doing right now to rents in this country, to mortgages in this country, moves in interest rates are so immediately consequential to you. | ||
| And again, as we're speaking right now, 10-year Treasury yield is bumping up against 3%. | ||
| We've hit 2.99% this morning. | ||
| The bond market is revolting Against Biden. | ||
| It is a Biden bond market bloodbath. | ||
| The situation couldn't be more dire. | ||
| And even if it were a good idea to send aid to Ukraine, and I do not remotely believe it is, but even if it were a good idea, Steve, we are not in the financial position to send largesse around the world. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Steve, I need you to hang on to talk about the Ohio race. | ||
| I know you've got to bounce, but just give me a couple minutes on the other side. | ||
| I want all the numbers up. | ||
| I want these phones lit up today, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Not one red cent before the oligarchs are stripped into Ukraine and Europe. | ||
| Wealthy Sweden, Switzerland, France, Germany. | ||
| When the soccer moms are Frankfurt, I've got to make up the rest, okay? | ||
| Time for them to stop drafting off America. | ||

| I want to thank everybody. | ||
| A barn burner. | ||
| We're going to cover obviously politics wall-to-wall this week. | ||
| The 60 days of pain has kind of kicked off. | ||
| Tomorrow is election day in the great MAGA state of Ohio. | ||
| Some quite concerning polls out in the last 24 hours. | ||
| Steve Cortez about JD Vance and what's really happening there. | ||
| The MAGA votes consolidating as a whole. | ||
| You could have a situation tomorrow that MAGA is 75% of the votes and a Never Trump candidate wins. | ||
| Is that not correct? | ||
| Unless something happens in the next 24 hours, Steve Cortes? | ||
| Well, Steve, we're working really hard when I say we, the America First Movement, and then we meaning specifically those of us who advocate for JD Vance. | ||
| We're working really hard to make sure that does not happen. | ||
| We can't let the establishment try to steal this election away from MAGA. | ||
| The latest polling from Trafalgar, which came out overnight, great news, shows J.D. | ||
| Vance in the lead, but it's not a commanding lead, so nobody can get complacent here. | ||
| And Matt Dolan, who is clearly the establishment's He is rallying and we need to make sure that the America First voters, the deplorables of Ohio, that they unite behind the Trump-backed, most America First candidate in this race, who is J.D. | ||
| Vance, to prevent what would be a disastrous win by Matt Dolan. | ||
| Let me just quickly, for folks who haven't followed this, quickly let them know who Matt Dolan is and why he is the establishment character and candidate in this race. | ||
| Matt Dolan is consistently never Trump. | ||
| And in terms of both policy as well as his personal background, he's the exact opposite, the antithesis of who J.D. | ||
| Vance is. | ||
| Matt Dolan is a Trustafarian. | ||
| He is an inheritor of a cable news fortune. | ||
| He used part of that fortune, by the way, to have ownership in the Cleveland Indians, and he and his family completely caved to the Wokesters and renamed the Indians the Guardians, which I certainly will never call them. | ||
| They are the Cleveland Indians. | ||
| Never. | ||
| But nevertheless, the Cleveland Indians. | ||
| They're the Indians, but he is the establishment's choice to try to thwart MAGA in this race. | ||
| And if you contrast that with Trump-endorsed J.D. | ||
| Vance, somebody who grew up in incredibly difficult circumstances, but through the U.S. | ||
| Marine Corps and through a loving grandmother, became a young man of incredible success in life. | ||
| Somebody who has the blessing, not just of President Trump, but of other amazing leaders in the America First movement. | ||
| People like Tucker Carlson, Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and I'm very pleased to add my enthusiastic endorsement to that mix. | ||
| But more than endorsements, what matters, of course, is the votes of the people, of regular, everyday citizens across Ohio. | ||
| And I implore them because the polling also shows us there's still a lot of undecideds out there. | ||
| So if you are in Ohio, deplorable, and you are still undecided, or if you're leaning but not sure if you're going to vote, I implore you, you need to get to the polls. | ||
| Tomorrow is Election Day. | ||
| We cannot have this establishment, RINO, Trustafarian, Matt Dolan, representing the great red America First State of Ohio. | ||
| Cannot be the nominee. | ||
| Look, here's what people gotta get, and this is what McConnell and these guys don't understand, and they refuse to understand. | ||
| Sherrod Brown is a left-wing populist, right? | ||
| Tim Ryan's gonna run as his mini-me. | ||
| It's gonna be a very tough campaign, although Ohio is MAGA country and Trump country. | ||
| Every, it's just like in Yonker, they misread the Yonker victory. | ||
| The Yonker victory was a MAGA win. | ||
| MAGA over-performed. | ||
| And obviously the moms from the suburbs, everybody came in now as this convergence as we expand our coalition, right? | ||
| This inclusive nationalism and participatory populism. | ||
| But MAGA must show up and over-perform. | ||
| Right now, and look, there are other candidates and we've had everybody on here, right? | ||
| We've provided a platform for everybody. | ||
| And let them reach the MAGA audience that is the power of the War Room. | ||
| And you've got Man Down, you've got Timpkin, you've got Gibbons. | ||
| But here's what you've got to think about, here's the reality check. | ||
| If we don't coalesce around a MAGA candidate, and Matt Dolan, who I think has spent $10 million, I hear it's going to be up to $15 million. | ||
| It's all air game, right? | ||
| All air game. | ||
| If he gets 26% of the vote and ends up winning, and MAGA ends up with, let's say, brings 74% are all MAGA candidates, but they're divided between everybody in the way Ohio runs, you don't have to have a runoff. | ||
| He wins with the 26 or 27%. | ||
| That's a guaranteed loss in November. | ||
| It's guaranteed. | ||
| Guaranteed. | ||
| Because there will be X percentage of maggots that say, I've had a belly full of this, I'm not going to vote for Mitch McConnell, mini-me, clone, and it's not going to happen. | ||
| You know, I'm sorry Mitch and the guys there in the establishment. | ||
| That's just the facts, okay? | ||
| People hate you so much, and what you stand for, and quite frankly, your collaboration is what you've done to the country. | ||
| A lot of MAGA will show up. | ||
| Most of MAGA will show up. | ||
| Let's say 90% of MAGA shows up, or 95%. | ||
| In races like this in Ohio this November, every vote's going to matter. | ||
| And Steve, I'll just tell you, if this happens, if Matt Dolan's the nominee, that's going to be a loss. | ||
| Your thoughts? | ||
| No, I agree. | ||
| By the way, President Trump was very clear about this in his endorsement of J.D. | ||
| Vance. | ||
| One of the reasons he endorses him for this primary is that he is by far the best candidate for the fall to secure that seat. | ||
| And to take on Tim Ryan, because Ryan, unfortunately, does a pretty good job of cloaking himself as a moderate. | ||
| He's not at all a moderate, but I have to admit, as a guy who does political messaging, he does a good job of masquerading as a moderate. | ||
| He pretends he's a blue-collar guy from Youngstown, Ohio, when he's in fact a committed radical globalist. | ||
| I think J.D. | ||
| Vance will do the best job of any of these candidates, by far, of unveiling, of removing that costume, that masquerade. | ||
| From Ryan, and it's one of the key reasons that we have we have to have that kind of contrast in the fall. | ||
| So Dolan doesn't deserve the nomination for a lot of reasons. | ||
| He's not philosophically with us, but also for practical reasons because you're exactly correct. | ||
| He would lose what should be a dependable Republican America first seat in the fall. | ||
| So again, I just I implore the deplorables. | ||
| In Ohio, if you're on the fence, if you're undecided or if you're leaning toward Vance but not sure if you're going to vote, it is imperative that we come out in droves, support and coalesce around the America First candidate who is J.D. | ||
| Vance. | ||
| This is big. | ||
| Okay, Steve, what's your social media? | ||
| I know you're going to be on fire and putting stuff up, the great stuff on your account, all day long. | ||
| Tell us, where do we go? | ||
| Yes, and I have a Getter Livestream tonight, 7 p.m. | ||
| Eastern, on this topic of the Ohio primary, and some other primaries, but mainly on Ohio, on the Getter Livestream. | ||
| Find me at Getter, at Steve. | ||
| You can also still find me on Twitter, at CortezSteve, Cortez with an S. | ||
| Steve Cortez, thank you very much. | ||
| Honored to have you on here. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Let's go, we got another new emerging, rising voice in this entire movement from Brownstone, a great site, Brownstone Institute. | ||
| Jeffrey Tucker, The Next Ten Battles. | ||
| Can we get that up so everybody can see it? | ||
| Jeffrey, what inspired you to write this and what are The Next Ten Battles? | ||
| I wrote it to organize my own thoughts and also to explain to people that we're facing so many issues right now. | ||
| The last two years have been just this big blur of stuff, and we've not been able to keep up. | ||
| And I'm not even sure that even if the Republicans take over the Senate, they're going to have hearings that are going to be comprehensive enough to cover the full range of the crisis that we face in this country. | ||
| So the purpose of my article about the next 10 battles is to Just to begin to cover what we need to be thinking about and the things we need to know because we, as far as I'm concerned, we know about 5% of what we should know about what happened to us over the last two years and it concerns the role of the administrative state and economics and policy pandemic responses. | ||
| The truth is that not much has changed apart from the DNC announcing that the pandemic is over. | ||
| None of the laws that did this to us over the last two years have been repealed. | ||
| And we still don't entirely know why were the schools closed? | ||
| Why could we not go to church? | ||
| How come we're facing an unprecedented mental health crisis? | ||
| Why did healthcare spending collapse during a pandemic, for example? | ||
| I mean, what happened in the middle of February when Fauci, as the deputy assistant, went to Beijing and the World Health Organization advocated that the entire world adopt a China model? | ||
| And why is Bill Gates still preaching this, even this weekend in the Wall Street Journal? | ||
| We need answers. | ||
| The American people need answers. | ||
| Everybody in the world needs answers as to what happened to us. | ||
| Let's go. | ||
| I want to hold you over for a few minutes on the other side, too. | ||
| Let's go through. | ||
| Let's just take them one at a time. | ||
| We can get a couple done now. | ||
| Just walk us through the next 10 battles. | ||
| All right. | ||
| So I started with the whole issue of pandemic planning. | ||
| You know, here's the thing. | ||
| They decided that the way to control a virus was to lock us down. | ||
| Well, That had never been tried in the past. | ||
| Not in 2009, not in 1968, not in 1957, not dating even back to the 1918 pandemic flu. | ||
| There are a few mask orders here and there, but New York never changed. | ||
| Why did they adopt this plan? | ||
| And even though it seems as if this lockdown response to pandemic has been repudiated, it hasn't been. | ||
| And if we get a fall surge, or I would say actually more likely a post-November surge, They're going to try to do the same things all over again, because it's not actually been disrepute, except maybe the public is less willing to do what they did last time. | ||
| They're going to be a little incredulous next time Fauci starts screaming and Bill Gates says you have to lock down. | ||
| But the fact is that the administrative state itself still has all these plans in place. | ||
| Jeffrey, hang on for one second. | ||
| We're taking a short commercial break. | ||
| We'll return with Jeffrey Tucker of Brownstone, next. | ||

| On the front page of the Financial Times, I'm going to hold the big headline because Frank Gaffney is going to come. | ||
| I've got to hold that. | ||
| It's going to tie Cortez and Gaffney together. | ||
| But here in the box where they do the briefing of the news, Gates urges health risk warning system. | ||
| Gates Urges Health Risk Warning System. | ||
| That makes you feel good, doesn't it? | ||
| Got Jeffrey Tucker now from Brownstone and emerging a major voice in this entire movement. | ||
| He's written this thing, The Next Ten Battles. | ||
| We're going to put it up everywhere. | ||
| I'll also be putting it up on my getter. | ||
| I put it up on the, over, I think it was on Thursday when it first came out. | ||
| Jeffrey, I know you're one of the guys all over Gates and every move he makes, but walk us through, we don't have time to go through all ten, but if you had to put to the forefront two or three that you think we've got to get focused on and the posse has to get focused on, particularly not just in the House, but in state houses throughout the country, what would they be, sir? | ||
| So I listed ten and I could just mention a few. | ||
| We started this little segment talking about pandemic planning. | ||
| As I mentioned, the Wall Street Journal over the weekend ran this article by Bill Gates in which he wants A new agency within the World Health Organization, as if it doesn't have enough power and influence right now, to be funded by a billion dollars a year with 3,000 employees. | ||
| The critical sentence in that article is that he wants to reinforce the quarantine power, which is to say that he wants lockdowns again. | ||
| Now, this is the World Health Organization that, in cooperation with Fauci's NIH, National Institutes of Health, On February 28th, told the entire world to lock down. | ||
| That document's still on their site. | ||
| And they did it because they took a Potemkin-style village tour of Wuhan and said, oh, China's figured out how to control the virus. | ||
| So that's... | ||
| That's my number one issue. | ||
| My second one is we have to know the history. | ||
| Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it. | ||
| Hang on, hang on. | ||
| On January 14th of 2020, while the CCP was here signing the trade deal with Trump, they're the ones that came out and said, we've reviewed this. | ||
| There's no human-to-human transmission or community spread. | ||
| Put a press release and a tweet, a total stone cold lie on January 14th. | ||
| The World Health Organization is nothing but a puppet. | ||
| It's a puppet of the Chinese Communist Party, sir. | ||
| Apparently that's true. | ||
| We need the details. | ||
| We need to know about this junket. | ||
|
unidentified
|
U.S. | |
| flights to China in that period were banned, you know, between February 16th and February 24th when NIH sent a delegation to Beijing and came back. | ||
| The report, by the way, for the World Health Organization was written by an American. | ||
| A graduate of Stanford University came back and said they know how to control the pandemic. | ||
| Fauci's assistant wrote this. | ||
| They, in an email, they have figured out pandemic planning. | ||
| We have to adopt it. | ||
| This, I think, this report came out on February 28th, may have been the key influence for why the world locked down and shattered so many lives, billions of lives, billions of billions of lives. | ||
| And we need to understand where that thing came from. | ||
|
unidentified
|
2020. | |
| Yeah, 2020, that chartered flight, which by the way, did Trump even know about that? | ||
| I seriously doubt it. | ||
| At this point, the administrative state was really on the march and taking over. | ||
| So anyway, this relates to my second point. | ||
| It has to do with the history. | ||
| We don't even know right now why it is that every hospital in the country became closed down to non-COVID patients. | ||
| We don't know why it is that four or five states in the Northeast had laws that required Old folks' homes to retirement homes to take in COVID patients. | ||
| We don't know why the CDC was recommending Plexiglas be put up in all the businesses around the country. | ||
| Where did the six feet of distance come from? | ||
| What happened on the junket? | ||
| How come PCR was chosen? | ||
| Why was mRNA technology favored as the vaccine solution over traditional vaccines? | ||
| We know so little about this and yet there are people out there who do know. | ||
| And it's my suggestion that we need to solve this. | ||
| We need to investigate this. | ||
| My third one, and I'll, I have to stop at the three because I do have 10, has to do with the administrative state. | ||
| Something went wildly wrong to the point that the Biden administration right now does not believe that any legislature or any court should have any juridical control over the decisions of the CDC, over what kind of clothing you're forced to wear and transportation. | ||
| They, you know. | ||
| When that decision came out of Florida, they didn't object that it was bad for public health. | ||
| I mean, maybe they mentioned that footnote. | ||
| The main problem they had was that if this order is allowed to stand, then that would presume that courts have some sort of check. | ||
| over the deep state bureaucracies and they said that's intolerable because if that happens we won't be able to get away with this again. This is what they said. So we have major work to do to get back to a constitutional system of checks and balances in this country and what applies to the CDC in this case is true for the Department of Labor, the Department of Agriculture, CIA, you name it. | ||
| They all believe... A wise man once said, early in the Trump administration, one of our lines of work with national security and economic nationalism was deconstruction of the administrative state. | ||
| Jeffrey Tucker, you're an emerging voice. | ||
| How do people get to Brownstone? | ||
| How do they get to your thinking? | ||
| Yes, it's brownstone.org, and I would really appreciate it if people would subscribe to the emails, and I say that because All these third-party platforms are getting ever more questionable. | ||
| You never know. | ||
| So we need those emails. | ||
| We're doing some serious research right now. | ||
| We've got some major projects going on to inspire some commissions and investigations over the coming year. | ||
| Also on Gitter, which provides us a tremendous amount of attention and traffic. | ||
| And for now, I survive on Twitter so long as they allow me to. | ||
| Waiting for the cavalry to arrive. | ||
| Jeffrey Tucker, I see you on Getter all the time, so your stuff's great and your institution's great. | ||
| From Brownstone, Jeffrey Tucker. | ||
| The next 10 battles, okay? | ||
| Always ready to fight here in the Worm. | ||
| Thank you, sir. | ||
| This segues me perfectly to the founder of the Committee on the Present Danger, China, Frank Gaffney. | ||
| Today at 4.30 is going to be the Digital Gulag. | ||
| Frank Gaffney, this plays right into what you guys are trying to work with to show the world today. | ||
| Correct, sir? | ||
| It's a feat of genius that you were able to orchestrate this as the follow on to that previous conversation, which was superb. | ||
| I would just suggest two points. | ||
| One is what Jonathan, excuse me, Jeffrey needs to do is check out event 201. | ||
| I'm sure he has, but I think many of the answers to the questions that he was posing about what was being done on that trip. | ||
| I could lie in the planning, the pre-planning that was done there. | ||
| The other thing is the World Health Organization, quite apart from whatever Bill Gates has in mind, is poised to get a treaty, a treaty with amendments that were advanced by the Biden administration that will give them the power to trump our sovereignty. | ||
| And this is in the offing later this month. | ||
| May 23rd or 28th. | ||
| In fact, we'll get you back on here to do in more detail. | ||
| There's a constitutional group, they call it a constitutional meeting. | ||
| They're bringing the whole world together. | ||
| They've been working on this now for about a year. | ||
| And we don't know the details because I've had some people quite close to me that are, let's say, a little to the right of me, like a lot, right, that are saying that this is the beginning of the implementation of world government. | ||
| And I'm sitting there going, well, let's get the details. | ||
| But it's quite disturbing that the World Health Organization, which is really just an adjunct of the CCP. | ||
| And Ambassador Bremberg, who was President Trump's ambassador to the UN in Geneva, where all the dirty work gets, that's all the wet work gets done in Geneva. | ||
| This thing is completely run, all the Geneva Institutes are essentially run by the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| That's the result. | ||
| We'll get Bremberg on here. | ||
| Frank, that's important, but I got to drive the massive audience today to the digital gulag. | ||
| Tell us who we got teed up, Why everybody's got to go, because this is one I've really been looking forward to, and for everybody in the audience, it's totally free, but you've got to go and get all the information. | ||
| Thank you, Steve. | ||
| This program is how the China model has now been metastasizing inside the United States in very much the ways that Jeffrey was just talking about. | ||
| We're watching it translate. | ||
| The social credit system of China effectively into the means of controlling us, not just our health or our data about our health, but becoming the platform for the full on oppression that the Chinese Communist Party has undertaken with its own people and is now exporting to the rest of the world. | ||
| And what we're going to talk about with the likes of the great Kevin Freeman, an economic war room expert on these matters, with Nick Corbishley, who's written a terrific book called Scanned, about how digital passports and their | ||
| Counterparts in the ID space are going to be used to destroy your personal privacy and freedoms. | ||
| We've got Zach Voorhees, who blew the whistle on Google, who's going to talk about how you now can have your personal communications autocorrected by Google to make them woke. | ||
| Imagine that. | ||
| Dr. Benjamin Marble, who founded My Free Doctors, is going to talk about how this is translating into oppression, both of doctors and patients through the medical system. | ||
| The great Joe Allen, who is with us again today, I'm pleased to say, is going to be helping us tie this all together into the ultimate objective of enslaving us all through transhumanism and other techniques. | ||
| And in short, how this is translating into a digital gulag, and people can find out more about all of this and participate in this really incredibly important program, and I appreciate so much your calling attention to it, Steve, at 4.30 Eastern Time today by going to presentdangerchina.org to register for it. | ||
| Our colleague Reggie Littlejohn is going to kick it off. | ||
| It's going to be a master class. | ||
| In how enemies of freedom, working with the ultimate threat to our freedoms, the Chinese Communist Party, are bringing to a place near you, in fact, your home, your bedroom, your lives, your children, the kind of slavery that is now the fate of the Lao Bajing, among others in China. | ||
| Real quickly, I've got a minute. | ||
| Just give me the social credit score again. | ||
| It's the tool of oppression in China. | ||
| Naomi Wilson warned about this for a long time. | ||
| Just walk us through what is a social credit score and how is it used to enslave you? | ||
| A social credit score is derived from the most comprehensive totalitarian monitoring, surveillance, data aggregation, mining and manipulation platform Imaginable. | ||
| Think Orwell on steroids. | ||
| The Chinese Communist Party has now put it into place and are using it not just against Uyghurs and Falun Gong and Christians and others, but against their entire population. | ||
| And they're now making it available to people elsewhere around the world through facial recognition, gate recognition, as I say, surveillance cameras, data mining, artificial intelligence. | ||
| Transhumanist impulses and the like, you're getting to the point where in China and increasingly elsewhere, and this is why what Jeffrey said is so important, Steve, it's been put into place under the guise of this health care crisis response to the pandemic. | ||
| It will be reactivated at will, probably, my guess, before the election, because otherwise it's not going to go very well for the people who are controlling these instruments. | ||
| Okay, Frank Gaffney from the Committee on the Present Danger China and our own Joe Allen, our editor for All Things Transhumanism, who will be one of the presenters today, are going to join us on the other side in the War Room. | ||

Xi's zero COVID drive threatens China with economic chill. There's There's 400 million people, we think, under some sort of lockdown. | ||
| Although, as Jeffrey Tucker just said, the U.S. | ||
| government is not really asking any questions about the Wuhan lab. | ||
| We're really flying blind here. | ||
| While we're totally focused on this border conflict in Ukraine, this tiny border conflict, But they're loosely talking about nuclear weapons and tech nukes and chemical and biological things, metastasizing, because the Germans are stiffing us. | ||
| They're not paying anything for their defense, and the soccer moms of Frankfurt want to still buy cheap Russian gas so their lifestyle's not changed, and give hard, cold currency to the To the Russians. | ||
| But the bigger headline is one I want Frank Gaffney, because the focus has got to be on the South China Sea and Taiwan. | ||
| The headline of the Financial Times, this ain't the war room, right? | ||
| It's not some right-wing group of nutcases, right? | ||
| China tells banks to look at ways of shielding assets from U.S. | ||
| sanctions. | ||
| Beijing fears penalties in event of regional strife. | ||
| Read Taiwan and South China Sea. | ||
| China tells banks to look at ways to shield assets from U.S. | ||
| sanctions. | ||
| They understand the way we weaponize, which I've argued we need to do against the Chinese Communist Party, to particularly weaponize the dollar, take down their central bank, do everything we're trying to do to Russia against them, and let Lao Bajing then overthrow them. | ||
| Frank, the Ukraine situation, which Nancy Pelosi has given open-ended commitments, and people were dead broke and want $33 billion from us, part of it is to take the eye off the ball at what is really in the vital national security interests of the United States, Taiwan and the South China Sea. | ||
| What's your latest update, particularly militarily, because you and Captain Fennell, I think, scared, shook the audience up in reality check about the ability of the historic, beloved, honored 7th Fleet to be able to defend the South China Sea in Taiwan from a kinetic war with the CCP. | ||
| Frank Gaffney. | ||
| There's a lot to talk about there, Steve. | ||
| One of the developments that is particularly alarming, as our friend Rick Fisher has pointed out, is the emergence of now not one but two new ballistic missile capabilities designed to destroy our fleet. | ||
| One is launched from aircraft. | ||
| The other is launched from ships. | ||
| This is giving the Chinese People's Liberation Army, Navy and Air Force a reach far beyond What they've had in the anti-ship missile business to this point. | ||
| And, you know, I have the feeling, Steve, if you go back to the 4th of February, when Xi Jinping and Putin got together and they rolled out this strategic partnership, unlimited strategic partnership plan, that they made on the spot, if not before, the deal that Putin would go first. | ||
| And it wasn't just that he was ready to go against Ukraine. | ||
| It was that the Chinese wanted to see what would happen. | ||
| What would be the punishments that were forthcoming against Putin and his regime? | ||
| And as you've been saying, Steve, we've watched that play out to the, you know, detriment of Putin, but I think to the benefit of the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| And you can bet they didn't just tell their banks the other day, think about what you need to do to protect your assets from sanctions like those that have been imposed on the Russians. | ||
| This has been underway for some time, certainly since the invasion started on the 24th of February. | ||
| But here's the other piece of this, and I'm with you on the inadvisability of sending another $33 billion to Ukraine for the next five months of warfare, no less. | ||
| What we are watching here, Steve, with this open-ended commitment or this distraction, as you wish, is we are depleting our own inventory of what are, as a practical matter, irreplaceable, at least in the short term, weaponry. | ||
| So if the balloon does go up with the Chinese, they've got another benefit out of what Putin has done, which is that the so-called arsenal of democracy ain't what it used to be. | ||
| That's for sure. | ||
| Back when Roosevelt coined that phrase in World War II, in the run-up to it, it's not even what it was three months ago. | ||
| And when you hear reports that Lloyd Austin's friends at Raytheon, for example, aren't able to generate replacements For these stingers and javelins in a timely way, maybe five months or so, they'll be able to do it, but not near term. | ||
| This invites, I think, the kind of aggression against Taiwan that China clearly has in mind. | ||
| We need you back on for a deeper debriefing. | ||
| We also have some programming webinars to announce over the next couple of days for the Committee on the Present Danger. | ||
| But today, at 4.30, I need everybody to pound into, totally free, the webinar on the digital gulag. | ||
| This is for your own personal edification, not just your nation, but your personal edification. | ||
