He says. | |
| And with that, yesterday we had Atlanta Fed track Q2 GDP negative. | ||
| Goldman cuts to 1.9. | ||
| BofA cuts to 1.5. | ||
| And then the breakevens, Mike. | ||
| Five-year breakeven, lowest since October. | ||
| Ten-year, lowest since September. | ||
| Can we start to think about a classic downturn and not a stagflationary downturn in that case? | ||
| I think so, and I think there's also a big question about what the character of a downturn might be. | ||
| Meaning, will it have the full effect on unemployment that a typical recession has had? | ||
| We had such a tight labor market. | ||
| We have, theoretically, excess job openings. | ||
| You don't have the consumer balance sheet stress in the same position. | ||
| Obviously, what the market's struggling with is, you know, the bond market can Sustainable. | ||
| What do you say to those families who say, listen, we can't afford to pay $4.85 a gallon for months, if not years. | ||
| because of a downturn. | ||
| The Fed can't act as if it's done the job yet until we see the numbers. | ||
| Well, the moment they do, they unwind all their good work. | ||
| Right, or it's just gonna be seen as too late to actually rescue what growth is looking like. | ||
| So, sustainable, what do you say to those families who say, listen, we can't afford to pay $4.85 a gallon for months, if not years, this is just not sustainable? | ||
| Well, what we heard from the president today was a clear articulation of the stakes. | ||
| This is about the future of the liberal world order and we have to stand firm. | ||
| Folks, this breaking down of the international and national norms is the glue that holds the liberal world order together and holds together our system. | ||
| The End. | ||
| That is what is being attacked now, and that's what's most dangerous. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're all angry, and let's remember why. | |
| It starts with the seat of the President of the United States. | ||
| He has wronged this nation's glory. | ||
| He has taken down our morals, our true gift of a land of the free. | ||
| He must be impeached. | ||
| We cannot wait another second having him dictate our path. | ||
| Let us work together, get him out, and make this country what she stands for. | ||
| Greatness. | ||
| The land of opportunity. | ||
| The land of the greatest soil our forefathers fought for. | ||
| Don't let this President Biden tear down every inch that was sacrificed with blood, sweat, and tears for his dictation of lies. | ||
| I urge all to see truths. | ||
| I urge all to make a difference. | ||
| Today is 1 July, Year of Our Lord 2022, and you are in the War Room. | ||
| Huge cold open right there. | ||
| Today, we've just entered the first day of Q3. | ||
| Are we in the first day of the Biden recession? | ||
| Happy 4th of July, by the way. | ||
| Welcome to the liberal world order. | ||
| You know, I used to think we had this thing called independence that we decided on the July 4th, 1776. | ||
| All those years ago, and for people like myself from the Philadelphia area, and my brother, who's here in studio with us today, riding co-chair with me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Good morning, good morning. | |
| We grew up, we grew up running around Valley Forge Park, learning, About where our forefathers fought, where they suffered for that winter, the Continental Army, right? | ||
| But now we're told by Joe Biden and Brian Deese that no, no, no, no, no. | ||
| This isn't about the United States of America. | ||
| You need to suck it up and you need to embrace the suck. | ||
| For the good of the liberal world order. | ||
| And now we've got here on the phone, alright, the captain himself, Stephen K. Bannon, who is on assignment today, but we were able to lock him down, right, he's calling in from an undisclosed location, but I wanted to get him in to discuss this economic American carnage that we're now seeing in the markets. | ||
| This is what the War Room has been predicting from the start. | ||
| Do we have Steve? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right here. | |
| Steve, what are you seeing out there with these numbers coming today? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let me just say as a start, correct me if I'm wrong. | |
| Was the magnificent Tanya Tay, where you proposed to her, was in the chapel right there at Valley Forge, that magnificent chapel at Valley Forge? | ||
| Am I correct? | ||
| So that's the Washington Memorial Chapel, Valley Forge, PA. | ||
| And Valley Forge has just been, so not only is it where I proposed to Tanya Tay, my parents met in Valley Forge. | ||
| We got married at a church in Valley Forge. | ||
| That area, Valley Forge, and the founding of our nation, it's been so close And so important to my family and my life, that for us, 4th of July always has that direct connection. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, you know then, and this is what we're trying to do over the weekend, tomorrow we have a special on the 2nd. | |
| I've got Rick Prince, I've got Frank Gaffney, others talking about the gathering storm, geopolitically. | ||
| And then on Monday, Dave Brad joins me for specials. | ||
| We're going to have, we're going to knock a ball in the park. | ||
| And it's all tied back to that. | ||
| I mean, think about it. | ||
| uh... the bespoke x is that think about for a second that that the the men that had that freezing winter when the country almost came apart what they would look today the carnage that has been a decent this is a created crisis and what you're saying now is the convergence of multiple crises in this fourth turning which is obviously spun way beyond what byton uh... in these guys can even do not just control but even think through And that's why the country's spinning more and more out of control. | ||
| But the economic numbers are so catastrophic. | ||
| Yesterday, the Atlanta Fed projected it would be a negative quarter, so we're already technically in recession. | ||
| That doesn't come out, I don't think, until July 27. | ||
| I think's the official date when they put it out. | ||
| But, and for middle class people, working class people, they know it's a recession already. | ||
| The great Steve Cortez has up on Getter right now. | ||
| I've sent it to Cameron and UJAC. | ||
| Hopefully, Denver can get it sometime during the show, but they break it down state by state. | ||
| If you look at places like Wyoming, Alaska, our big energy states, they are down 4, 5, 6, 7 percent. | ||
| I mean, these are depression-level numbers. | ||
| That you're seeing on certain, uh, on certain states, and to think that in Louisiana, we're also, I mean, down like, you know, I think it's like 4 or 5 percent, that these senators and people voted to send $40 billion to Ukraine to support the liberal rules-based order. | ||
| This is exactly what they're talking about. | ||
| They're talking about the eastern border of Ukraine. | ||
| It's sacrosanct to them. | ||
| All of the southern border of the United States is where all they're trying to do is process as many illegal aliens as possible and get them as deep in the country, including up to Allentown and Scranton. | ||
| Pennsylvania. | ||
| So, the numbers are horrific. | ||
| They're going to be worse. | ||
| The bond and stock market, you know, the guy that was in back of the big short, that movie, that guy in real life is saying we're only halfway through this. | ||
| The carnage is going to be terrible. | ||
| Your 401k is going to get decimated. | ||
| These unfunded pension liabilities are going to get worse. | ||
| They're going to start now looking at $10, $12, $13, $14 trillion. | ||
| We've already lost, just to put it in perspective, we've already lost $20 trillion. | ||
| In equity value already, and I only think we're halfway through it. | ||
| So here's one of the reasons is that the Biden administration has no policy, no plan. | ||
| The reason is they're not going to focus on energy. | ||
| Look at Wyoming is down 6 percent, Alaska down 7 or 8 percent. | ||
| They are trying to throttle back and destroy the energy independence of the United States between Alaska and then Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, and West Virginia. | ||
| We have two Saudi Arabias in our nation. | ||
| One in the Pennsylvania region, the other in Alaska. | ||
| Two Saudi Arabians. | ||
| And yet he's going to go get on Bendity in front of the House of Saud. | ||
| This is spinning out of control. | ||
| The polling numbers show he's lost the country. | ||
| Biden's lost the country. | ||
| It's already open season among Democrats. | ||
| What is incumbent upon our audience is to hunker down now. | ||
| Now more than ever, you've got to take over the school boards. | ||
| You have to take over the election boards. | ||
| We cannot let them steal this. | ||
| We have to break and shatter the Democratic Party. | ||
| The Democratic Party this November. | ||
| And I've got to tell you, this fight's going to be even more intense, and the reason is the Supreme Court rulings over the last couple of days. | ||
| The ruling yesterday, ladies and gentlemen, is actually more important, if one could be, than Roe v. Wade. | ||
| The takedown and deconstruction of the administrative state was this magnificent 6-3 opinion on the EPA West Virginia. | ||
| That was just one aspect of it. | ||
| But the Supreme Court signaled that they're going to start taking down the bureaucracy, the unelected bureaucracy, And you saw the historical response. | ||
| Biden in Spain saying that the Supreme Court was the cause of disorder in our country. | ||
| They're going to start playing. | ||
| The Democrats, the globalists, they're going to play even more smash mouth than they played. | ||
| So for me, it's just people have to hunker down. | ||
| We're going to win this at the polls. | ||
| But I got to tell you, if people thought that the Tea Party years were intense, the run-up to Trump was intense, the Trump presidency was intense, what's happened since the pandemic was intense, You ain't seen nothing yet. | ||
| We're now going to start getting into it, okay? | ||
| And this is going to be even more intense than anything you've come behind. | ||
| That's why patriots have to think back to Valley Forge and what the people that fought, you know... The Declaration of Independence is a magnificent document. | ||
| We're going to talk about it Monday, but it's a legal document, okay? | ||
| Of guys that said, we're breaking off from this empire, but that had to be fought for. | ||
| And what, 18 months later in Valley Forge, we saw where the grit was in this country, and that's what we're going to have to go back to. | ||
| We're going to have to call back to that kind of grit, indefatigability that was in Valley Forge to basically win this. | ||
| And I like our odds. | ||
| I like where it's going. | ||
| We're winning every day, but it's going to get really tough now. | ||
| Well, and you look at that situation, right? | ||
| You know, at the time that was breaking... The British Empire, right, was the liberal world order that the United States was breaking away from at the time, right? | ||
| It was this idea that we're not going to be part of... You know, we understood what the empire was. | ||
| We understood the benefits of the empire, the forefathers and Franklin. | ||
| You think they didn't understand the power of being part of that imperial trade system? | ||
| Remember, Adam Smith has just put out Wealth of Nations the same year, right? | ||
| They're all reading it. | ||
| They're all reading the other Enlightenment writers. | ||
| They know that that was the globalism system. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Two things. | |
| Two things. | ||
| In 1776, in the first six months of 1776, you have Gibbons' volume one of Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, then Adam Smith's Wealth and Nation, then the Declaration of Independence. | ||
| Not a bad run for folks in English-speaking languages, three of the greatest documents ever produced. | ||
| But you're right. | ||
| The revolutionary generation read and understood Gibbons. | ||
| They understood, they looked, they admired the Roman Republic. | ||
| They didn't admire the Roman Empire. | ||
| Gibbon's work had a big impact on them. | ||
| Adam Smith's work had a big impact on them. | ||
| That's what was in the Declaration. | ||
| You're absolutely correct. | ||
| Well, you know, Steve, there's actually, in Wealth of Nations, because as he's writing it, he knows, he says, he mentions the troubles, the troubles in the American colonies, and it's just sort of an offhand reference. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, in fact, we have... Ben is going to be on Monday evening. | |
| We're going to talk about the British perspective. | ||
| Remember, for Great Britain, it was like Vietnam. | ||
| You had many people in Parliament that said, hey, these are Englishmen and they want to be free, right? | ||
| And they should be free. | ||
| The philosophical debate and having to fight for it is exactly the same in the revolution and the Civil War. | ||
| Look, I'm a southerner, but southern independence was because the southern plantation aristocracy wanted to be back in a global slave empire in South America, in Brazil, and tied up with those elements of the British Empire that would join. | ||
| That's why Britain was thinking of coming in on the side of the Confederacy, right? | ||
| It was Lincoln. | ||
| Lincoln. | ||
| That's why the Gettysburg Address, I think, that world nations repeat so often. | ||
| This is what we have to get back to. | ||
| We have to get back to Valley Forge. | ||
| We have to get back to Lincoln at Gettysburg. | ||
| We have to get, by the way, It's no coincidences, no conspiracy, no coincidence. | ||
| They're both in Pennsylvania, right? | ||
| And I say that as a proud Virginian. | ||
| If you look at not just Independence Hall, but if you look at where they crossed the Delaware, if you look at Valley Forge, if you look at Gettysburg, you see that the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is the heart, the heart of what this fight has been. | ||
| For 200 years, it's the same fight. | ||
| That's why we have the Patriots, like ourselves, on one side of the football. | ||
| We've got two minutes left in this segment. | ||
| Let me ask you though, I'm looking out there at the numbers. | ||
| I'm looking at this. | ||
| Emerson Polls just came out. | ||
| I've got Barris up behind you. | ||
| got it's got to be becoming choppy we've we've got two minutes left in the in the segment let me ask you though i'm looking out there at the numbers i'm looking at this emerson polls just come out of the parents of behind you can walk us through the numbers i look at this and i i put this up on twitter and get ur this morning and i said explain to me what these people are doing because it seems like they're doing everything they can to put donald jay trump back in office it's it's it's uh... it It's very odd. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's very odd. | |
| Jack, you and I have talked about this. | ||
| They are, I think, and this is why I think we have to hunker down and make sure, Molly Hemingway's piece in The Federalist, we're going to talk about it next week. | ||
| We have to get, you know, why is this emergency order out there? | ||
| We have to get very focused on the elections of 2022 of actually how they're going to be pulled off. | ||
| We cannot allow these to be stolen. | ||
| It was providential. | ||
| It was stolen in 20. | ||
| It is just like in 16, our victory, the, the steal was providential. | ||
| And the reason it's exposed people for what they are, but now we're into it. | ||
| And I agree with you. | ||
| These numbers are so bad. | ||
| He's lost the country according to the numbers. | ||
| And I don't think they intend to give it up. | ||
| So we got a fighter in our hands, a big time fight, but you know what? | ||
| It's a historic fight, and I like where we've come from. | ||
| I like Valley Forge. | ||
| I like being on our side of the football, Jack Pasovic. | ||
| Look, we have to remember Valley Forge. | ||
| My brothers right here, we remember. | ||
| We remember going around the reenactors. | ||
| We remember firing the muskets, firing the cannons. | ||
| We grew up, you used to be able to run on the battlements. | ||
| You can't do it anymore, but the actual battlements... | ||
| Well, you might, Kev. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The actual earthen battlements that were set up, they're still there today. | ||
| Focus, because the British were in Philadelphia at the time. | ||
| The Continental Congress had fled to York at this point, York, Pennsylvania. | ||
| That's where it all comes down. | ||

| Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| When you're falling off the bike. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's it. | |
| So we've got we've got folks we got Richard Barris in here and I wanted to bring him in because look it's it's a fun day right we're letting the hair down a little bit but we're looking at these economic numbers we're looking at the polling and I said I need Barris in here to make sense of these numbers that we're seeing and you know I was just talking in the break a little bit and I said Boy, Steve calls up and says, Posobiec, I need you to come in and host the war. | ||
| Gosh, what am I going to talk about? | ||
| What am I going to do? | ||
| And then you look at a day like this, and it's like the show writes itself, and you're just checking the box of every single thing that this show, that this audience, has known was coming. | ||
| The fourth turning, the economic crunches, the collapse of complex systems, and we're just seeing it all happen. | ||
| So Richard, welcome to the show. | ||
| Walk us through the numbers that you're looking at today. | ||
| Oh, I can't hear him. | ||
| Is he good? | ||
| Oh, there we go. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| Thanks for having me. | ||
| That was on my end. | ||
| Yeah, these shows write themselves, Jack. | ||
| You know, the economic news that was out earlier this week, really what happened there is that people stopped spending money at a far greater rate than anybody expected. | ||
| Those forecasts I mean, they have their range, but nobody expected them to decline like that, so personal consumption expenditures just completely bottomed out. | ||
| Well, nobody expected it unless you follow the public polling project at Big Data Poll, and then you would have expected it because when we do the public polling project monthly, That Registered Voter Economic Confidence Index just completely bottomed out last month, and people were telling us they just didn't... I've had so many people reach out and they say, you know what? | ||
| You know, we got ready for this because we listened to The War Room, because we follow Richard, because we know what the numbers are, and, you know, you guys are saying one thing, but the contrarians are here, and guess what? | ||
| We were right. | ||
| Yeah, and there it is. | ||
| You know, when those indexes converged last month, what I was telling people is that showed us a few things, but one was, If your current situation index starts to match your future, your expectations index, people are telling you that I feel bad about the situation now, but six months from now, I don't think it's going to get any better. | ||
| That's a malaise, Jack. | ||
| I mean, so normally those future or whatever they call them, whatever the indexes, you know, different names are, that six month outlook or however long they go out, three to six months, we go six. | ||
| If it typically is more optimistic because Americans are by nature optimistic so if they start to get as negative as they feel about the situation on the ground right now that tells you they're losing hope for you know prosperity in the future and That's bad. | ||
| I mean, that's indicative that there's probably a recession coming. | ||
| I think we're in one right now. | ||
| I don't know if you were listening during the cold open just now, but we played from, was that CNBC? | ||
| It was. | ||
| And they were talking about, well, it's not that we're in a malaise, but we have to define what type of malaise. | ||
| Are we getting stagflation? | ||
| Are we getting a recession? | ||
| Are we getting a malaise? | ||
| So it's like talking past the sale, right? | ||
| We're not even going to argue about what The economic downturn is, or about the fact that we're in one, but now we're arguing about what type of economic downturn we're in. | ||
| And that's why it's so important for people to understand, Richard, the work that you're doing, the work that we're doing here. | ||
| And all we're doing is following numbers, right? | ||
| We follow the same data everybody else does. | ||
| And this is what blows my mind, Rich, is that anybody has access to these methods, but for some reason you're the only one that actually does it. | ||
| You and maybe like a few. | ||
| Yeah, look, some of this, and I was getting into this with somebody yesterday, and I was discussing the difference in, you know, the polling methods that we do, and, you know, if you want to know what real clear politics, what their averages are going to look like, you know, follow the public polling project we're doing. | ||
| We're at least leading them by two weeks, sometimes two weeks to a month. | ||
| It is, you know, it's just, it's got to be thrown, Jack, because it's, I mean, you can overlay it, you know, you remember those things when we were in school, a little teacher put up, you know, they'd have the projector and then throw, you know, the, what do they even call those? | ||
| Oh yeah, Zoomers don't know what that is. | ||
| Yeah, I know what you're talking about. | ||
| Yeah, Zoomers don't know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, right. | |
| I mean, if you, yeah, I mean, you could use your little high tech gadgets now and, you know, plot it on a line graph and you'll see that we lead them by two weeks to a month and We told people that this was sadly going to come. | ||
| And I think that's what's fueling, you know, you see Trump's polling strength against Biden. | ||
| In 2020, we polled for the Epoch Times. | ||
| We started the public polling project. | ||
| We never, never had Donald Trump leading Joe Biden nationally. | ||
| It would range between Biden plus two to Biden plus six. | ||
| And it was always a matter of the electoral college. | ||
| I can't stress. | ||
| How significant it is that Trump is leading in these national polls like this. | ||
| I was a guy a year ago, two years ago, I would have told you Republicans aren't going to win the popular vote probably for a long time until something really radically changes. | ||
| Well, that change is, you know, it's happening. | ||
| If you look at this Emerson poll that just came out, Trump's coalition... Yeah, let's walk through this a little bit. | ||
| It evolves, Jack, and we see this too. | ||
| It's not just You know, he's rocking it with working class whites like he did in 16. | ||
| That's not the sum total of his lead and what's going on here. | ||
| He's doing better with all these different groups of people. | ||
| If you look at the primary, he takes, DeSantis gets about 20% or so, but Donald Trump's taking almost 60% of the Hispanic vote who plans to vote in the 2024 Republican primary. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| I mean, that's dominant. | ||
| I mean, there's just not enough white voters. | ||
| I mean, that's like the working class white vote that you would see in 16. | ||
| It's almost like it's tracking along those same trends. | ||
| Yeah, in 16. | ||
| That's exactly right. | ||
| That is, yeah, you put that great, because that's exactly what we've been equating it to. | ||
| And we've done this a few times, nested our crosstabs to show people, look at the white working class vote, Trump versus Biden. | ||
| Look at the Hispanic working class vote, Trump versus Biden. | ||
| It's really starting to track right along those lines. | ||
| At this point this month, the Republican lead on the generic ballot. | ||
| It's three points. | ||
| So Trump actually leads Biden nationally by a larger margin in this poll than Republicans lead Democrats generically on the generic ballot. | ||
| If I have to explain why that's so significant. | ||
| Just then take my word for it, folks. | ||
| That's nuts. | ||
| The other question that we have, and I've got Charlie Kirk coming up later, and we're gonna do a little promo because we've got the Turning Point event, big event coming up the end of July. | ||
| Love to have you at Tampa. | ||
| You too, Kev, if you can make it. | ||
| I think it's the only event this summer. | ||
| We're actually gonna have Trump and DeSantis, right? | ||
| Same event, same stage, Turning Point Student Action Summit. | ||
| But then, and we're going to be conducting, and I know, Rich, you're probably, you know, you're going to, you know, like, get us on us about the methodology about this. | ||
| We are going to be conducting a Trump DeSantis straw poll at the event, you know, get a little, get a little edgy there. | ||
| But, you know, of course, now, of course, we're in Florida, so I'm sure that'll swing a little bit. | ||
| But what are you seeing in terms of those numbers about Trump and DeSantis? | ||
| Because I see there's a huge piece in the New York Post today. | ||
| It's time for Trump to retire. | ||
| It's time to put him out to pasture. | ||
| You hear a lot of people sort of, the MAGA, Intelligentsia, if you turn on Fox News, etc. | ||
| They're saying, look, that time is done. | ||
| We've got to go with DeSantis. | ||
| Where is the math on this? | ||
| What are the numbers saying? | ||
| You know, Jack, here's the problem. | ||
| I know what some of these polls have come out and said, but the fact is we tried it. | ||
| You know, we wanted to be fair to Ron DeSantis. | ||
| The country doesn't really know him yet. | ||
| We're politicos. | ||
| We do this every day. | ||
| The voters who inevitably have to decide which way they're going to go in 2024, they don't really know Ron DeSantis yet. | ||
| So this idea that you're going to have, you know, these high name recognition polls is nuts. | ||
| I mean, those are high interest voters. | ||
| The numbers right now. | ||
| It's risky. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| Again, Republicans don't have a very good chance of carrying the popular vote. | ||
| The fact that Donald Trump is, is extraordinary, even though he's got universal name ID. | ||
| You either really love him or you don't. | ||
| I mean, that's what we've been told has been the case for years. | ||
| And yet he's been able to change this electorate like this. | ||
| In our polling, he actually does better among 2020 voters than those voters who could be new in 2024. | ||
| He still leads with them. | ||
| But yeah, that tells me that people in 2020, a lot of them who voted for Joe Biden, think they made a mistake. | ||
| And I can't stress, you're from Pennsylvania. | ||
| You know this. | ||
| It is very hard for Republicans to win the Rust Belt. | ||
| The accomplishment that Donald Trump was able to pull off in 2016 is incredible. | ||
| Thanks to the likes of Mitt Romney, who comes across like a guy that shut down your company and shipped your jobs overseas, which, by the way, he is the guy who actually did that. | ||
| He is that guy. | ||
| That's what the brand of the Republican Party literally is, being capital, right? | ||
| That was the brand of the Republicans in the Rust Belt, and it still has been, but Trump has his own brand, which is separate from that. | ||
| Rich, last minute that I have you on here, talk to me a little bit about, do you see this then? | ||
| Is this the congruence of Trump coming forward, and where can people follow you? | ||
|
unidentified
|
For 24. | |
| Yeah, I think at this point, you know, I know that some of the DeSantis crowd would disagree, but the fact is, Trump has changed the dynamic of the map. | ||
| It is not proven, at least right now, it is not proven that without some kind of torch passing, uh, that Ron DeSantis can do what Donald Trump did in the Rust Belt. | ||
| Nobody, I mean, all the anecdotal, you know, little quibs and anecdotal, uh, you know, remarks. | ||
| I had a conversation with my mom the other day. | ||
| None of that will, uh, will hold up. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, people can check me out. | ||
| peoplespundit.locals.com. | ||
| That's the best place to find me, guys. | ||
| Alright, Rich Barris! | ||
| Thank you so much for coming on. | ||
| War Room. | ||
| Come back. | ||
| Darren Beattie, J6. | ||
| Gonna break it down. | ||
|
unidentified
|
War Room. | |
| Pandemic. | ||
| Let's take down the CCP. | ||
| Spread the word all through Hong Kong. | ||
| We will fight till they're all gone. | ||
| We rejoice when there's no more. | ||
| Let's take down the CCP. | ||
| Let's take down the CCP. | ||
| 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. | ||
| So we're arguing in the break, and Kevin over here is saying that he does want to do the My Sandals with the My Socks promo code War Room because he says he's going to go down the boardwalk, Wildwood, and he sees everybody down there like that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I like them just over top, not the one with the little thing next to your toe. | |
| What, the one where it separates the toes? | ||
| Yeah, no. | ||
| No, that's how it is. | ||
| Well, they have both, actually. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Not me. | |
| No, no, Mike's got both up there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I just looked at them over the break. | |
| You looked at them? | ||
|
unidentified
|
They look pretty nice. | |
| It's kind of like how Adidas has that big cushion on the bottom. | ||
| But it's even better. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It probably is. | |
| Because it's the MySlippers. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| You need the MySlippers. | ||
| Alright folks, you need to get that promo code WAROOM. | ||
| And now, you said we do have Darren? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| All right, well, let's get into that real quick, folks, because the January 6th hearing, it's been heating up. | ||
| We thought it was the final hearing. | ||
| We might get another hearing. | ||
| This special hearing, which has been completely debunked, we've got the story at, by the way, humanevents.com, an exclusive up there, where I had a member, multiple members actually, of the Trump White House come out to me and say, not only can we deny, right, can we deny the fact | ||
| That these stories that took place about Trump lunging for the limo and these salacious stories, these tales, but also that stories about conversations that she had, particularly one with Pat Cipollone, didn't happen because he wouldn't even have been in the White House on the morning of January 6th. | ||
| So Darren Beattie, Revolver News, you've been out in front on this. | ||
| You've been leading the charge. | ||
| Tell me what went wrong with the Jan 6th Committee, but how are they using this to kickstart what we call the detrumpification project? | ||
| That's a great question. | ||
| And frankly, I'm pretty astonished at how ineffective this committee has been. | ||
| I mean, we've known that it's a show trial, we know it's a sham, but given the amount of resources that have gone into this to amplify the significance of it, it's actually kind of amazing what a shoddy job they've done. | ||
| And the recent Uh, hearings I think are a perfect example of this. | ||
| You have people even at the National Review pretending like this is shocking testimony, which can be pretty definitively debunked no more than 24 hours later. | ||
| So I think that's kind of par for the course, but that's an especially, um, kind of egregious example, uh, setting the tone for the entire Episode and in what what else can be said about it? | ||
| There are so many conflicts of interest as said multiple dimes on war room All of the key important questions that really get to the beating heart of what matters about January 6 are totally ignored by the committee and the committee is pretty much set up for the express purpose of ignoring those questions | ||
| As to the political dimension, that's a great question as well, because we see the sort of broader narrative agenda behind the false interpretation of January 6th being to facilitate this domestic war on terror, as we call it, this justify this idea that all Trump supporters are de facto domestic terrorists, and that's why we need to weaponize the national security state. | ||
| Particularly the Department of Homeland Security against MAGA. | ||
| Incidentally, Benny Thompson is not only the chair of the January 6th Committee, he also happens to be the chair of the Homeland Security Committee, and for years has been the Department of Homeland Security's stooge in Congress. | ||
| And so, I'd just like to point out, among the multiple conflicts of interest here, first of all, So I pointed out, Benny Thompson actually, in his personal capacity, sued Trump for January 6th. | ||
| Sued the militia groups under this preposterous theory that Trump was colluding with these militia groups and therefore incited the riot. | ||
| Now that's ridiculous, but the important point is this. | ||
| If he already, in his personal capacity, launched a lawsuit with a certain theory of the case, how can he be the chair of an allegedly Objective fact-finding bipartisan committee looking to get to the bottom of it and furthermore being the DHS's guy in Congress where the DHS is really the executioner as far as this domestic war on terror introduces an additional conflict of interest and so | ||
| That's the broader war on terror, but more immediately we're seeing the regime use January 6th as a pretext to kneecap Trump and associated political officials as we go into election season. | ||
| And that's one of the more disturbing developments that we've seen over the course of the past few months. | ||
| Well, that's exactly right. | ||
| I call it the de-Trumpification Project because it's likening it to the de-Bathification in the Iraq War following the after of Saddam Hussein. | ||
| But it's also this idea that they're trying to muddy up and prevent anyone from, should President Trump return, as Barris is telling us that all the numbers say that he will, or that he certainly has a path forward, They're trying to prevent him from achieving an effective staff. | ||
| They're going after people like Eastman and Jeffrey Clark, who of course would have to go through Senate nominations and Senate confirmation battles. | ||
| And this is why, and I want to go back to something that you keyed on, but I think it's absolutely important for people to understand. | ||
| Because there are people who nominally call themselves conservatives and they write with institutional imprimatur like the National Review or you're seeing stuff in the National Post today saying it's time to let Trump go and this testimony is this Damning testimony lunging for the wheel. | ||
| We can't have someone like that and and I know that you're not in DC right now Unfortunately, I've been in DC 10 years. | ||
| I just I counted it up the other the other day, you know, you know minus deployments and stuff like that but This the bubble of this city. | ||
| It feels like they are girding To prevent any retaking of the throne by Trump and the people outside. | ||
| And you're seeing a linkage now between the sort of conservative-ink intelligentsia and the forces that you're talking about on this Jan 6th committee, the same forces with the Department of Justice that have set up this grand jury. | ||
| Why are these people working with folks that should, by rights, be someone that is their political opponent? | ||
| That's a great question, and I think it requires a separate answer depending on which subcategory we're talking about. | ||
| In the case of people like Kinsinger and Liz Cheney, the two Republicans who are actively participating in this sham show trial, They're not Republicans in the sense that Trump was or Trump supporters was. | ||
| They're essentially representatives of the national security state on the Republican side. | ||
| And as you well know, probably better than anybody, the national security state has been at war with Trump from day one. | ||
| And so to use people like Kinsinger and Liz Cheney, the daughter of Dick Cheney to be the kind of rounding the things out politically now. | ||
| Why do you think I brought up debathification? | ||
| It's so right. | ||
| And so it's this bipartisan committee of Democrats who are stooges for the national security state and hate Trump and Republicans who are stooges for the national security state and hate Trump. | ||
| That's great bipartisanship. | ||
| That's the kind of bipartisanship we can see for these sorts of things. | ||
| As for the kind of conservative intelligentsia, I think it's somewhat of a different issue. | ||
| You have people like Andrew McCarthy, and some of the stuff he's done I like, but when it comes to this, he has blinders on. | ||
| He's parroting the national security state's talking points. | ||
| He's been that on January 6th from the beginning. | ||
| And then you have the Washington Examiner, I think, that ran an editorial saying, basically, it's time for Trump to go. | ||
| And you mentioned the New York Post. | ||
| Yeah, I haven't seen that one. | ||
| But here you have, look, you have the same unimaginative, weak, you know, middling intelligence type people. | ||
| And they understand, they're at least Um, smart enough to understand that their only role in DC is to get paid, to be the whipping boy, to be the mediocrity, and not to rock the boat. | ||
| And whenever you see them saying something you agree with, it's basically because they've been forced to do so to maintain their credibility, and they're doing it after The risk is gone. | ||
| They've let other people do it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Then they come in and do it. | ||
| So you're just not going to get anywhere with these people. | ||
| You see this in the Roe v. Wade decision with so many people saying, well, you know, I oppose Trump. | ||
| But, you know, even David French saying this is a great victory. | ||
| You know, you did everything you could to stop this day from ever coming. | ||
| But, Darren, one piece that we mentioned also in the beginning of this is you said that These folks are beholden to the national security state, but I hear Brian Deese from the White House. | ||
| I hear President Biden. | ||
| He's over in Madrid. | ||
| They're all saying it. | ||
| Americans just need to suck it up because we are fighting for the good of the liberal world order. | ||
| And you have a similar term that you've coined called the globalist American empire, but it almost feels like it's synonymous there. | ||
| They're just blatantly admitting something That they used to, um, they used to relegate to, this was, you know, it was to be called an Alex Jones conspiracy theory, and now they're just outright saying this is why we are making these decisions. | ||
| Right. | ||
| No, it's really funny. | ||
| I'd like to know the thinking that went behind that. | ||
| Is this a poll-tested thing by Frank Luntz or just an inadvertent slip? | ||
| It's like, oh, we're not those conspiracy theorists talking about the New World Order. | ||
| This is the liberal world order, which is something entirely different. | ||
| Totally different. | ||
| Totally different. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But yeah, however you talk about it, it's kind of cringeworthy. | ||
| It's pathetic. | ||
| It's actually kind of true. | ||
| There is this thing called the liberal world order or the globalist American empire, however you want to describe it. | ||
| It has an underlying sociology of different interconnected networks that comprise the A decrepit and I would say illegitimate ruling class. | ||
| And this is really the network and the associated institutions that these people mean when they talk about democracy. | ||
| When they say democracy, they mean these terms. | ||
| And democracy itself has kind of become this term that's been euphemized and by extension weaponized in order to advance the naked self-interest of this small Network that's really running the country into the ground. | ||
| And so apparently that, you know, the latest thing that they're asking their serves to do is suck it up and deal with the high gas prices because we need to maintain Ukraine as a playground for intelligence operations against an adversary that's lost its geopolitical significance, at least as far as our national security interests are concerned. | ||
| Well yeah, and my brother and I, we just got back from Ukraine, and we were in Mykolaiv, we were in Odessa, they're getting rocked by missile strikes this very week, and my heart goes out to the people that are there, but also to the people of the United States. | ||
| I have to say, what is our strategic, what is our interest there? | ||
| I mean, Kevin, did you see that there? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Our interest, I don't know anymore. | |
| Ukraine and Hussein, now it's, I think it's just America first from here on out. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| Because you've got, like, you know, we've got cousins going down to the Outer Banks this weekend. | ||
| You're going to tell them that, you know, it's for the glory of Ukraine and that's why, you know, you can't afford gas and you can't afford propane for your barbecue this weekend? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no thanks. | |
| Right, no, exactly. | ||
| Darren, we've got about a minute left. | ||
| Tell us what's going on. | ||
| Revolver.News is the site. | ||
| What do you have coming out? | ||
| What's hot? | ||
| What's the next thing that's going to get you in trouble? | ||
| Well, we've got a lot of great stuff. | ||
| We have some Pretty explosive January 6 pieces in the pipeline. | ||
| I know that's what people are really excited about, but we have other great stuff too. | ||
| In fact, we just posted some fresh new pieces. | ||
| One on what we can learn from the success of the pro-life movement culminating in the Roe v. Wade decision. | ||
| What other causes can learn. | ||
| A kind of playbook From that success. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Much welcome success. | ||
| So if you want to check that out, people should go to revolver.news and check that out. | ||
| Our latest January 6 piece was on Norm Eisen's fingerprints behind the lawfare aspects of January 6. | ||
| That's in our exclusive section. | ||
| So check that out and stay tuned because we're only getting started as far as January 6. | ||
| There's unfinished business big time. | ||
| The great Darren Beattie. | ||
| When Republicans take the House, I don't know, maybe they'll have to put Darren Beattie in charge of the updated January 6th committee. | ||
| Stay tuned. | ||
| We're going to cap Michelton on. | ||
| We're going to talk vaccines, U.S. | ||

| I've got my brother, Kevin Posobiec, here in the War Room, riding co-chair. | ||
| And Kev, we used to go, I want to say we were at Valley Forge pretty much every weekend growing up, right? | ||
|

|
And through the winters, we'd be sledding. | |
| To Boggins down, you remember, Mad Anthony Wayne Hill. | ||
| You remember that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Anthony Wayne Hill, yeah. | |
| Mad Anthony Wayne, we would go to his, right in the foot of the statue, and you go, boom, straight down that hill. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And that is like, larger than life statue. | |
| Huge! | ||
| No, no, he's actually that tall. | ||
| No, he was actually that tall. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, true. | |
| Yeah, he was that big. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And the horses, too. | |
| Absolutely. | ||
| No, they were bigger back then. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Clydesdales. | |
| No, because they didn't have GMOs, so they were bigger. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's true. | |
| It's 100%. | ||
| So we've got, though, speaking of the military, right, do we have the same country we had at that time? | ||
| Do we have the same grit? | ||
| We've got Captain Shelton here. | ||
| From the Army National Guard, and he's going to talk to us about the readiness, not just the physical readiness, but the medical readiness of our force because of the forced vaccine mandates. | ||
| Captain Shelton, what's going on? | ||
| I believe we've just passed one of the deadlines for this, and we're seeing thousands and thousands, not just in the National Guard, but across the force. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thanks for having me. | |
| Just a quick disclaimer. | ||
| These are my own opinions and not of the military. | ||
| But to speak on what you hit on, I think we have a lot of woke policies coming down. | ||
| You know, whether it's changing our physical training tests, where it gets rid of that neutrality as far as males and females to be able to do that test. | ||
| So things have changed over the years. | ||
| It's gotten completely different. | ||
| Now we're faced with taking a vaccine or being fired. | ||
| And now that June 30th deadline had hit, according to the DOD mandate. | ||
| And new orders came down in May through a FRAGO, changed the orders, and it had stated that These refusals, which is different from the exemptions, they only get out when their exemptions are approved or disapproved. | ||
| But through the medical, the straight refusals, June 30th was their last day. | ||
| And they are not allowed to attend drill, and nor do they get paid. | ||
| And that's under Title 32. | ||
| So, we've been with the Governor trying to get him to step in and file an injunction with his Attorney General. | ||
| Absolutely, so the Tennessee National Guard and the State Guard, but under Title 32, let me just go ahead and explain these three. | ||
| to six states that have already done this, but he's saying he don't have the power and that's just not true. | ||
| So what we're seeing is- Wait, wait, wait. | ||
| No, because the governor there, right, if you're state national guard, the governor should have that authority. | ||
| Is that not right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely. | |
| So the Tennessee National Guard and the state guard, but under Title 32, let me just go ahead and explain these three. | ||
| The first is state active duty, which is state controlled, state funded. | ||
| The second one is Title 10, which is federally controlled, federally funded. | ||
| Title 32, which is what the Army National Guard is under, is the governor controls it, but we're federally funded. | ||
| So that's what we're hanging up on. | ||
| And he does have that ability, like other states have proved, to do something about it. | ||
| So he's just really admitting that he doesn't have the power like these other governors do to do anything. | ||
| He doesn't want to stick his neck out. | ||
| Yeah, and the will is what it is. | ||
| Because we were just talking about this with Roe v. Wade. | ||
| We're talking about those so many decisions. | ||
| It comes down to will. | ||
| The political will to power. | ||
| Simply stated, these are our issues. | ||
| We will get them through. | ||
| And this is something that, going back to Trump, that Trump came into politics and did completely differently because he was a businessman and he said, in business, right, you've got to, you're going to build the building. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| And whatever it is, the red tape, whatever the issues are, you've got to go through it. | ||
| That is will to power. | ||
| That is exactly what Trump taught. | ||
| That's why he was able to get Roe v. Wade through. | ||
| And these politicians, these old right Republicans, these rhinos, the pay to play types, that's the way it's been for a long time. | ||
| We're done with it. | ||
| We want people that actually deliver results. | ||
| Because let's look at this, right? | ||
| We're talking about a fighting force that's supposed to defend us from military harm. | ||
| We've got the President of the United States saying that we're, you know, oh, you have to pay $5 a gallon at the pump for the benefits of the liberal world order, which we're defending right now in the bloodlands of Ukraine, in Odessa, in Mykolaiv, in the Donbass, the meat grinder over there, right? | ||
| Sorry if you have to live through it, but that's what this is all about. | ||
| Is the United States military ready to defend? | ||
| If we were kicking people out, good soldiers, by the way, that President Trump has said that he will bring back in, which I think is amazing leadership on his part, but also this woke nonsense that you're pushing. | ||
| Meanwhile, you've got problems where, you know, in my beloved Navy, We had a ship burned down at the pier, the Bonhomme Richard, because people didn't know how to put out a fire on a ship, which should be one of the basic, you know, shipboard firefighting drills should be one of the most basic things that you know how to do on a ship. | ||
| What does this mean for our military readiness? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, first of all, I think if we had Trump in office, we wouldn't have this issue right now. | |
| But like you said, you know, people didn't even know how to put out a fire on a ship. | ||
| I see the same things. | ||
| You know, people just want to work on their job, their MOS, their military occupational specialty. | ||
| But we have so many classes, whether it's extremism, policy class or transgenderism or you name it. | ||
| We have so many other classes that we don't even get to focus on our own job anymore. | ||
| So we're being so depleted. | ||
| And the importance of having a strong force and retention is so that we can respond to natural disasters or tornadoes or floods or pandemics or riots. | ||
| But how can we do that? | ||
| Are they saying we don't need this force anymore? | ||
| Like I said, you know, Russia and China is on our doorstep. | ||
| How do we respond to that? | ||
| You know, I have soldiers who's taken this vaccine and one in particular, she now has to wear a heart monitor the rest of her life. | ||
| And, you know, they get the second shot. | ||
| So and that's one of many stories just in the Tennessee National Guard, but they ain't saying anything about it. | ||
| They're skewing the data. | ||
| They're not giving the true data. | ||
| And we're just tired. | ||
| Our leaders said they had their hands tied. | ||
| There's nothing they can do. | ||
| But I tell you what, we got a group of officers together and some other senior enlisted members and lower enlisted. | ||
| And we got our heads together. | ||
| We said, you know what? | ||
| Enough is enough. | ||
| We're going to do something about it. | ||
| And in a week, a little over a week, we were able to have that conversation and get the ball rolling. | ||
| So our leaders have no excuse. | ||
| Absolutely no excuse. | ||
| Now, we're running out of time for the segment here. | ||
| End of the hour. | ||
| Do you have a place where people can follow you, where you can follow your work, where they can support you and get these stories out like the one you're talking about, your soldier? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely. | |
| So, we have right now, just the Instagram, just for this event that we did for Guard Freedom. | ||
| It's called GuardFreedomTN on Instagram. | ||
| You can reach out to us through there, but we also ask you to call Governor Lee's office and have him to help us. | ||
| It's 615-741- 2-0-0-1. | ||
| And there's another way that you can also change things in your state. | ||
| If you go through the different types of Star Networks. | ||
| We went through the Tennessee Star here in our state. | ||
| I think there's other Star Networks or platforms like yourself. | ||
| If people would write and stand up, even anonymous letters or articles, they can do something about this too. | ||
| We love it. | ||
| Action, action, action. | ||
| We're going to get that out across all the platforms. | ||
| This is what it is. | ||
| Citizen leadership. | ||
