This is what you're fighting for. | |
| I mean, every day you're out there. | ||
| What they're doing is blowing people off. | ||
| If you continue to look the other way and shut up, then the oppressors, the authoritarians, get total control and total power. | ||
| Because this is just like in Arizona. | ||
| This is just like in Georgia. | ||
| It's another element that backs them into a corner and shows their lies and misrepresentations. | ||
| This is why this audience is going to have to get engaged. | ||
| As we've told you, this is the fight. | ||

All this nonsense, all this spin, they can't handle the truth. | |

Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | |
| Okay, live, it's Tuesday, the 5th of July, Year of Our Lord 2022. | ||
| You're in War Room Battleground, breaking news out of London, and I've got three of the best. | ||
| Our own Ben Harnwell, head of international out of Rome. | ||
| I've got Peter McElveen from Hearts of Oak, and we're gonna have Nigel Farage from GB News here, hopefully momentarily. | ||
| Let's go to Peter. | ||
| Peter, set the stage. | ||
| Tell me what's happened over the last couple of hours that such blockbuster news in UK politics. | ||
| Okay, so just an hour ago we had two resignations from the biggest heavyweights in the cabinets. | ||
| We had Rishi Sunak and Sajid Javid. | ||
| Rishi Sunak is the Chancellor of the Exchequer. | ||
| Does all the money. | ||
| Number two in the cabinet. | ||
| And Sajid Javid is the health secretary who was the chancellor before. | ||
| So those are two of the biggest names have resigned with a devastating statement on Boris's leadership, lack of integrity, incompetence. | ||
| And I've just read that we've had another resignation 10 minutes ago, which is the Tory vice chairman. | ||
| I need to see who that is. | ||
| I think it's Ben But let me check on that, but that's just come through eight minutes ago on my screen here. | ||
| Peter, take a second. | ||
| This is so important. | ||
| Do you have the statement? | ||
| I like to read it because it's so brutal that it's almost going to lead to, I think, some changes. | ||
| I want to bring Brennan for the analysis, but do you have the statement in front of you that you could actually read? | ||
| I'll bring it up in a moment. | ||
| It's Bim Afolami has quit as Tory Vice Chairman and Andrew Morrison has quit as the Trade Envoy. | ||
| So those two have happened in the last 10-12 minutes. | ||
| Let me find the statement and I will bring it up in a moment. | ||
| Let me get Ben Harner. | ||
| Is Ben ready? | ||
| We have a shot. | ||
| Ben, you've kind of called this, you said last week or two weeks ago when they had this inquiry about Boris's, about the vote of no confidence. | ||
| Walk us through, put in perspective for our audience, what's going on here. | ||
| We'll get back to the statements themselves. | ||
| Good afternoon, Steve. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, this is, I think, the situation now where Boris, who is protected for one year, there can't be a leadership election against him now. | ||
| He won the last one in June with 58%. | ||
| There can't be another leadership election, therefore, for a year, according to Tory party rules. | ||
| He's protected by that. | ||
| That actually gives him a degree of flexibility on how to manage these two very heavyweight Resignations. | ||
| Specifically I would say it gives him the possibility, because Boris isn't someone who's in politics just because he can't do anything else. | ||
| Probably more talented is his capacity as a journalist than being a politician. | ||
| So he could easily transition back into journalism. | ||
| With the eventual view of returning to politics, this is why I say the fact that he's protected from a further leadership election for a year is so important. | ||
| It gives him the possibility to magnanimously resign as Prime Minister because the UK has some very difficult choices coming up now. | ||
| So probably one of the reasons why Richard Schoenack didn't want to be around as Chancellor, for the same reason of these difficult belt-tightening Tax raising decisions gives Boris the opportunity to resign, spend a year or two out, watch the popularity of the Tory party start to nosedive, and then, because people have short memories, possibly he could be talked about as someone to come back. | ||
| So how he handles... | ||
| Hang on, hang on. | ||
| I'm going to go back to Peter in a second, but these resignations, this is, how can you sit there and say he's going to resign in, you know, as a magnanimous jester? | ||
| They've put a gun to it. | ||
| They put a shotgun right to his head with these brutal resignations. | ||
| The two power players walked out and on the way out said, this guy's incompetent. | ||
| He has no integrity. | ||
| There's no leadership. | ||
| 10 Downing, the country's spinning out of control. | ||
| Then you're having these other guys. | ||
| You're going to have 10 people by tonight. | ||
| Ben Harnwell. | ||
| I tell you how he can do that, because Boris Johnson has charisma. | ||
| I mean, there's a reason why he's Prime Minister. | ||
| There's a reason why he's still Prime Minister. | ||
| It's that he has charisma. | ||
| He has a certain following in the Tory party. | ||
| He has a certain following in the country. | ||
| Rishi Sunak has zero charisma. | ||
| I mean, none. | ||
| Sajid Javid has a little bit. | ||
| He has a following in the Tory party, probably because he's the nearest heir within the cabinet to a sort of Thatcherite presence. | ||
| So he certainly does have a certain political following. | ||
| But again, compared to Charisma, he can't compete with Boris Johnson. | ||
| That's why I say Boris Johnson can look at this. | ||
| And besides, the resignation issue, Steve, is the actual formal issue that this is about, which is a guy called Chris Pincher, who turned out to be a bit of a pincher. | ||
| He's the reason that the way the Prime Minister handled that is the reason why the two cabinet secretaries have resigned. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But again, look, the Tory party is not a party of angels. | |
| Explain that to the audience. | ||
| What do you mean? | ||
| What drove these resignations? | ||
| Except they say he's incompetent, lack of integrity, no leadership. | ||
| Yeah, well, this This Tory parliamentarian called Chris Pinscher had had accusations made against him that he was a little free with his hands and Boris Johnson up until this morning was briefing his members of parliament to go out there in the press and say that he didn't know anything about these allegations when he appointed him in 2019. | ||
| It has emerged during the course of the day that actually he did know something about Um, here, Mr. Pincher's reputation as a pincher, um, and that is, is, is the crunch reason, reason that first Sajid Javid and then Rishi Shunak have, um, have resigned. | ||
| They haven't offered their resignations. | ||
| They've just resigned. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| Gone. | ||
| Did he lie? | ||
| Hang on. | ||
| Did he lie about the sexual harassment charges that he knew about and then had one of the people go out and cover him and lie for him to the media? | ||
| Is that what the charges are against him? | ||
| Yes, those are exactly the charges against him. | ||
| But look, the British public knows the Conservative Parliamentary Party. | ||
| It's not a parliamentary party of angels or choirboys. | ||
| And I don't want to find myself in the dock on the bad end of a liable charge. | ||
| But anyone who's a Tory MP, there's a 50% chance that they're going to be Flandering. | ||
| Possibly higher. | ||
| And that's factored into the price, Steve. | ||
| So the fact that a Tory MP liked to touch up other male researchers or what have you, it's not going to surprise the British public. | ||
| What they are looking for of the British public are issues of competence and and good management. And that I think was the thing that came up in Sajid Javid's resignation when he said... | ||
| Hang on one second, I'm going to go back to people. | ||
| But didn't, just before I leave you, wasn't it Boris Johnson that the EU, and I just want to make sure for our audience to understand, at the EU, Macron has literally been crippled by the national parliamentary elections. | ||
| Biden has absolutely no power here in the United States. | ||
| He's at 20% among independents. | ||
| And now Boris Johnson, who accused Putin of toxic masculinity. | ||
| Isn't that what he accused Putin of, the toxic masculinity? | ||
| Sure, but these aren't issues that are going to really fundamentally, and I don't want to dismiss this as a Westminster talking point, but it's not something I don't think that is going to have a massive resonation with the British public itself. | ||
| As I said, Boris Johnson is a charismatic figure. | ||
| He's still popular. | ||
| He's taken hits. | ||
| He has taken hits because of his handling of the Covid crisis. | ||
| But all leaders in the world took hits over Covid. | ||
| There was the issue to do with the parties in Downing Street, which disgusted a lot of people. | ||
| But the thing is, as I say, Boris Johnson has charisma. | ||
| And that's the reason he's still Prime Minister. | ||
| That's the reason he won the leadership election in June. | ||
| People in the West took a hit on maybe competence or decisions they made. | ||
| Mask or unmask. | ||
| Vax or no vax. | ||
| The lockdowns or no lockdowns. | ||
| But nobody took it for hypocrisy at the level that he was partying and doing everything that he was putting out rules against. | ||
| He's the only guy in the world that did that. | ||
| There's nobody else that did that. | ||
| Nobody close. | ||
| There's not one leader. | ||
| He's done things about personal integrity and lying to your face that, as bad as these other leaders are, no one at least has been caught red-handed and had no excuse for it. | ||
| Hang on for a second. | ||
| Okay, hang on for a second. | ||
| Let me go to Peter. | ||
| Peter, do you have... What do you mean is exactly the point? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ben Harmon, what do you mean exactly? | |
| You're absolutely right. | ||
| He's the only one who's been picked up for the hypocrisy. | ||
| But this is a peculiarity to do with British politics, that people are absolutely held to their own laws of conduct. | ||
| What happened to Boris about being pulled up for a partisan indentury would never happen to Emmanuel Macron. | ||
| It would be a non-issue. | ||
| The thing about the British public is that it absolutely hates Issues of hypocrisy. | ||
| And that's why this had resonance in the press, right? | ||
| But as I say, as I say, right? | ||
| This is my point. | ||
| Boris John, memories are short. | ||
| When Margaret Thatcher was removed by the Tory party back in, I think, was it 1990? | ||
| Right? | ||
| She was absolutely hated at that time. | ||
| At the time the Tory party, when she went to the conference in Paris, and the Tory party stabbed her in the back when she wasn't even in the country, because the Tory party was too scared to do it in front of her, right? | ||
| Margaret Thatcher was absolutely hated in the country. | ||
| You had riots, you had the poll tax issue, she was hated. | ||
| A couple of years later, it didn't take very long Steve, a couple of years later people were saying oh my god John Major's hopeless, he's boring, he's dull, he has no charisma. | ||
| You think it's the right thing for Boris Johnson to resign? | ||
| You're an Englishman. | ||
| You get the first call on American TV. | ||
| Boris Johnson is a load of hate in the party, in the country. | ||
| Hang on, hang on, hang on. | ||
| Would you call for Boris, do you think it's the right thing for Boris Johnson to resign? | ||
| You're an Englishman. | ||
| You get the first call on American TV. | ||
| Should he resign? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Why? | ||
| He should have resigned. | ||
| I'll tell you Steve, let me tell you, right? | ||
| I don't think he actually needs to resign over the Chris Pincher thing. | ||
| He should have resigned over the parties in Dining Street because of the hypocrisy element to it. | ||
| But had he have done that, in the same way that should he resign now, I don't think it would be necessarily the end of his political career. | ||
| Um, because I don't, I don't think it has the massive heavyweight scandal that will endure through time that will cause him lasting damage. | ||
| If he tries to ride it through, if he lets a brazen it through and just puts the snowplow on and just goes ahead anyway, that's the sort of thing with the British public that they will, that there will be an ingrained dislike. | ||
| Um, but right now I don't think there is any ingrained dislike against the guy, you know. | ||
| I'm a bit pissed. | ||
| I think the British public are a bit upset. | ||
| Hang on a second. | ||
| Let me go to Peter. | ||
| Peter, can you read? | ||
| Do you have the statements? | ||
| Can you read them for us? | ||
| So this is from Rishi Sunak, the Chancellor of the Exchequer. | ||
| He says, it was with deep sadness that I'm writing to you to resign from the government. | ||
| It's been an enormous privilege to serve our country as Chancellor. | ||
| He says to leave ministerial office is a serious matter at any time. | ||
| He talks about stepping down during Ukraine. | ||
| It's a challenge. | ||
| But he says, however, the public rightly expect government to be conducted properly, competently and seriously. | ||
| I recognize this may be my last ministerial job, but I believe these standards are worth fighting for. | ||
| And that is why I am resigning. | ||
| And then he goes on to say that this is why I've tried to compromise in order to deliver the things you want to achieve. | ||
| On the occasions where I disagreed with you privately, I have supported you publicly. | ||
| This is the nature of collective government. | ||
| And then he goes on. | ||
| So he talks about our country is facing immense challenges. | ||
| We want a low-tax, high-growth economy and world-class public services. | ||
| All of those we don't have under Conservative government. | ||
| He says, I'm sad to believe in the government, but I've reluctantly come to the conclusion that we cannot continue like this. | ||
| We've already had two other resignations in the last couple of minutes. | ||
| Two other ministerial posts, lower level, in Northern Ireland and Department of Health. | ||
| So that's, I think, five or six now ministers have resigned. | ||
| And Lord Frost, who headed up Britain's negotiations for Brexit, who is a huge heavyweight in the party, massively respected, He has said that Sunak and Javed have done the right thing. | ||
| So is this an organized—Peter, in your analysis, is this an organized hit on Boris Johnson? | ||
| Because they're not—they're cutting off the opportunity for him to magnanimously resign. | ||
| This looks like he's being forced out because they, in fact, are forcing him out, right? | ||
| You've had five, what, Cabinet members, even some sub-Cabinet, but—and these are hitters. | ||
| These are two hitters. | ||
| Are they leaving him any room to maneuver here? | ||
| Look, they have tried to get him to resign privately. | ||
| They have tried, they have tried. | ||
| That's why he had the vote of no confidence. | ||
| That was the first huge shot above his bowels and Johnson rejected that. | ||
| And those remember that the many MPs who voted for Johnson are cabinet ministers. | ||
| They are paid by the government. | ||
| They have to support them. | ||
| So it was the backbenchers, those who are not paid by the government, who are just MPs, They were the ones that spoke against Boris Johnson and said he has to go. | ||
| And it's everything. | ||
| It's COVID. | ||
| It's the number 10. | ||
| The party's a number 10. | ||
| It's the cost of living. | ||
| It's the failure to look after Northern Ireland. | ||
| It's the two by-election defeats we saw 10 days ago. | ||
| It's the sex allegations that Boris claimed he hadn't seen and he had seen. | ||
| One other, this is the crazy thing. | ||
| Pincher, the MP who's beat the alleged sex offences, he was the Deputy Chief Whip. | ||
| He was the one that the party had to go to if they had an allegation of a sex offence. | ||
| The whole system was crazy. | ||
| They were going to the perpetrator to complain that they had an allegation. | ||
| So he was the last person you'd want to go to. | ||
| So the House of Cards seems to be collapsing. | ||
| Okay, let me go back to Ben for a second. | ||
| Peter, hang right there. | ||
| Ben, we talked about the Supreme Court decisions the other day about the Administrative State. | ||
| Right now we know the war here domestically in the United States is between the Administrative State and this kind of MAGA Trump movement. | ||
| We see in Holland that the party of Davos and the Administrative State there is trying to shut down the farmers and the fishermen. | ||
| You've had this issue. | ||
| You've had this issue in Britain that this is supposed to be the Brexit party but Brexit is not. | ||
| You got the Remainers actually think they're going to get back in and one of the reasons is Boris Johnson hasn't taken care of business. | ||
| Although he's supposed to be the Brexit guy, his heart was never really in it and people think he may be slow walking that and having these Remainers because the administrative state The administrative state in the United Kingdom has no interest in leaving the EU, and in fact, they're trying to slow walk it to the degree that you're going to be forced to come back in. | ||
| In addition, he's one of the lead guys on the Ukraine. | ||
| I mean, he's trying to be a top Zelensky about being Winston Churchill. | ||
| One of his senior generals, they gave that speech about this being 1937. | ||
| I mean, he is He's all in on the Ukraine, he's all in with the globalists, he won't enforce Brexit. | ||
| You know, his whole concept was Singapore on the Thames, not real Brexit to bring manufacturing jobs and to really work for those Midlands Labour voters that voted for him. | ||
| So does he really have, is this kind of a revolt of people sitting there saying, yeah he's got all these moral problems, all these ethical problems, but this guy at the end of the day is not getting it done? | ||
| Well, you know, there's some in that which has a great deal of truth. | ||
| He did promise Singapore on the Thames and he hasn't delivered it. | ||
| But then you could equally argue that Rishi Sunak as Chancellor could have been doing more on that in terms of deregulation Bringing down taxes and that sort of thing. | ||
| On the other hand, with regards to Brexit, whether it's hearts in it or whether it's not, it's impossible to say what goes on inside the heart of another human being. | ||
| What we do know is, when the country was splitting broadly down the middle in the run-up to Brexit, and people were choosing what side they were going to be on, everybody looked to Boris Johnson as Mayor of London, because of course this was the big issue. | ||
| Is this going to damage London and the South East? | ||
| Is Brexit going to damage London and the South East? | ||
| And therefore, the Mayor of London was taking soundings from the city, from industry, because London and the South East is the motor of the economy in Great Britain. | ||
| And everyone was saying, what's Boris Johnson going to do? | ||
| And he came out at the end. | ||
| He consulted with everyone, with his advisors, with business. | ||
| He consulted and he came out. | ||
| He could have gone the other way. | ||
| He came out, however, and said, no, no, We can do this. | ||
| We can come out and we can hold the country together. | ||
| And that, as I say, Boris Johnson, especially when he was Mayor of London, You know, because once you've been Prime Minister for a bit, inevitably some of the shine rubs off. | ||
| When he came out and supported Brexit, a lot of people think, I think, I personally think, as an impartial observer of British politics, I think that carried the momentum into the Brexit camp. | ||
| That is to say, had Boris Johnson had said, no, no, look, I'm going to go remain now, because I think, and he could have easily done it, If you'd have said that, I don't think we would have won the referendum. | ||
| So to come back to your point, I don't know what goes on in the head of another human. | ||
| I can only look at what their words are, what their acts are, and see if there's a coherence between them. | ||
| And Boris Johnson played an indispensable role in the Brexit momentum. | ||
| Hang on a second, let me go back to Peter. | ||
| Peter, for our American audience, walk us through what you think happens now that he's had all these cabinet resignations and thought leaders, members of the Tory party, etc., calling for his, saying that he's got no leadership, no integrity, and they could not in good conscience be in a government. | ||
| How does this play out? | ||
| Well, the vote of no confidence showed he didn't have support of the backbench of the party, so I don't think he can stay. | ||
| Now the process for him to go is he will have to resign because there The system is you cannot have another vote of no confidence because the last one he won. | ||
| So that can't be done for a year unless the Conservative Party change the rules. | ||
| They've talked about changing the rules but they've never done that up to now. | ||
| They may do. | ||
| Or I don't see how publicly he can remain in office. | ||
| The damage is too great. | ||
| He's lost his two biggest heavyweights in the Cabinet. | ||
| He will have little support and this has been played out at the moment over the airwaves. | ||
| The public, they were so angry at the number 10 Downing Street parties, they were so angry at the sex allegations that Downing Street said Boris Johnson didn't know about, then he did know about, so he has not been honest with the public on so many issues, and Boris thought he could just ruffle his hair and get on with it and give us a laugh and, hey, it's Boris. | ||
| The mess the economy is currently in, the chaos of our NHS, the immigration crisis, our police crisis, six police forces and special measures. | ||
| Something has to be done and the Conservative Party have decided Boris can no longer win an election. | ||
| The by-election in Tiverton went from a Conservative majority of 24,000 to a Lib Dem majority of 6,000. | ||
| That's a 30% swing. | ||
| That's one of the six biggest swings since 1945. | ||
| It's huge and Boris said it's just we keep sailing. | ||
| You can't keep sailing. | ||
| The public have rejected you on both those elections and I think the party themselves have decided he can no longer win an election. | ||
| Now we don't have an election until another two years away. | ||
| 2024 December actually is the next time we would have to have an election so the Conservative Party could change the leader and build someone up. | ||
| The scary thing is if you look at who's proposed to take over No one actually rings with the public, so there's no one that can actually step into Boris's shoes, which are huge shoes, and take over that position and be an automatic vote winner. | ||
| So the Conservatives want rid of Boris, but they don't have a ready-made alternative. | ||
| That is the problem for the Conservative Party. | ||
| As we talked about in the 5 o'clock hour, this is, Macron basically got rejected by the people of France in these national parliamentary elections. | ||
| Biden is, we walked through the polling with Boris Epstein, the polling is absolutely horrific, the worst in presidential history, in recorded presidential history. | ||
| This guy is now on the level of Buchanan and Hoover and Millard Fillmore, and now Boris Johnson, the cabinet's resigning. | ||
| Peter, brain analysis, how do people get to Hearts of Oak? | ||
| How do they get you on Getter, all the social media, and how do they get to your extraordinary program? | ||
| They follow us at Hearts of Oak, and Monday and Thursday evenings we have guest interviews, and on Saturdays we have news reviews. | ||
| So on Thursday we have Alex Newman talking about transhumanism and the Great Reset, 8pm UK time, 3pm Eastern, or midday Western. | ||
| Peter, thank you very much for being on here. | ||
| Fantastic program and follow him on Getter. | ||
| It's just incredible. | ||
| Let me go back to you. | ||
| Ben, your assessment and analysis. | ||
| We've had two crippled leaders. | ||
| The impact also this is going to have on the party of Davos, particularly regarding Ukraine. | ||
| You've got the three biggest guys in here because the Germans are kind of played footsies with this out of the Italian. You've had Macron, you've had Boris Johnson, you've had Joe Biden, okay? They're the ones that have been escalating. | ||
| There's one, you've got British generals talking about this being 1937. You've got Boris Johnson saying the whole problem we have here is the toxic masculinity of Putin, right? Tell me what's going to happen here, what are the British people going to demand? Well, I'd actually like to finish or respond to what Peter was saying just now. | ||
| Because that synthesis is absolutely true. | ||
| The Tory party is screwed if it doesn't. | ||
| It's screwed if it doesn't. | ||
| That is the difficulty of the decision facing it. | ||
| The Tory parliamentary party, however, has this breathing room that it can't call another leadership election for a year. | ||
| And so Boris Johnson, he can't be forced out. | ||
| That's not going to happen if he doesn't want to go. | ||
| So the question is, how does he handle this situation? | ||
| You don't think he's forced out if another five guys resign overnight, heavy hitters, and say this guy has no integrity, no leadership? | ||
| That's not a forcing function? | ||
| You don't think that could technically, I mean, not call for leadership, but actually be a forcing function to force him out? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Because he's immune. | ||
| He has the leadership of the party for the next year. | ||
| Ben, hang on for one second. | ||
| We've got a lot to get to in the second half, but I want to finish what you're saying, particularly tied back to the economic crisis. | ||
| of people if he wants to blaze it through. | ||
| Ben, hang on for one second. | ||
| We've got a lot to get to in the second half, but I want to finish what you're saying, particularly tied back to the economic crisis. | ||
| I mean, the United Kingdom's economy is in a freefall right now. | ||
| They've got big capital markets problems. | ||
| Boris Johnson, all this stuff about budgets. | ||
| Can they actually do more deficit spending? | ||
| We're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| We've got Tiffany Justice on the other side. | ||
| Captain Maureen Bennett is going to be coming in. | ||
| The shooter in Highland Park was dressed as a woman. | ||
| The police are saying, oh, it was the disguiser she was using to get away. | ||
| War Room doesn't think so. | ||
| We're going to make the case about that in the next half hour. | ||
| And Ben Harnwell is going to come back and finish up with his analysis of the fall of Boris Johnson and the British government all next in Battleground. | ||
| Be back in a moment. | ||

|
War Room Battleground with Stephen K. Bannon. | |
| War Room Battleground with Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Okay, welcome back. | ||
| Ben, we're slammed for time here because we've got a jam-packed second half hour here, but I just want to ask you, your position is he can't be forced out technically because they can't call another leadership vote, but you're calling on him. | ||
| You think you ought to resign because he's lost. | ||
| It's a vote of no confidence by the people closest to him. | ||
| Is that what I'm hearing? | ||
| OK, I'm going to split that up, right? | ||
| I think he should have resigned in terms of decency over the parties in Downing Street. | ||
| I think he can resign now opportunistically in order to leave gracefully and magnanimously and then try and come back after all the impending difficult and popular decisions will be made over the next couple of years. | ||
| Steve, however, there's a third possibility. | ||
| And that is, Boris Johnson can go to the Queen and ask for a general election and say he wants a fresh mandate. | ||
| He needs a fresh mandate from the British public. | ||
| And that's a wild card. | ||
| But that's a throw the ball down field. | ||
| That's what we may have to do. | ||
| Last thing. | ||
| The economy's in such bad shape, they haven't made decisions, they've now got these obligations in Ukraine. | ||
| Is this crash of the British economy going to suck all the achievements that we made in Brexit, take it with it, and you're going to have the remainders get stronger in the administrative state, and essentially force Great Britain back into the EU? | ||
| Do you see that happening? | ||
| I put that at about 15 or 20 percent. | ||
| I think that on this kind of thing, the Tory party, the parliamentary Tory party, will do what it needs to do to make sure to maintain its competitive status vis-a-vis Europe. | ||
| And if Boris stays, I think that's another thing for him to do, is to deliver on the Singapore, on the Thames philosophy. | ||
| Ben, how do people get to you on social media, particularly Getter? | ||
| You're on fire there, putting up great stuff all day long. | ||
| Thanks, Steve. | ||
| Yeah, folks simply want to go and search me out. | ||
| It's my surname, Hanwell, at Hanwell. | ||
| That's where I am 24-7, pushing out my analysis. | ||
| It's the verified account, not the imposter. | ||
| The imposters are pretty funny, but you get the real deal and they verify. | ||
| Thank you for staying up so late tonight to join us. | ||
| This is a breaking story. | ||
| We'll have more of it tomorrow morning. | ||
| Boris Johnson's government may actually be ready to fall. | ||
| Another conservative government in the UK, but it's the trifecta of the big pro The pro-Ukraine situation. | ||
| Macron in France has been gilded by the nationwide parliamentary elections. | ||
| Joe Biden, as we've talked about in the 5 o'clock hour, completely eviscerated here in the United States. | ||
| And of course, now Boris Johnson. | ||
| Let's go to Tiffany Justice. | ||
| Tiffany, back here to the States. | ||
| Tell me about NEA, the progress that Moms for Liberty are making. | ||
| On the school boards, and now you've got some real blowback from a wide source of people, but you're not too impressed with what they've delivered. | ||
| Tiffany Justice. | ||
| No, absolutely not. | ||
| So the NEA is gathering today to decide, I guess, what direction they're going to be taking across the United States, and they had some very interesting proposals. | ||
| I sent them over to you today earlier that I thought you might like to see. | ||
| It's not a surprise right now when we think about American education, right? | ||
| And we think about the fact that nearly two-thirds of kids, fourth graders, are not reading proficiently. | ||
| Because the NEA talks a lot about abortion. | ||
| They talk about guns. | ||
| They talk about foreign policy. | ||
| They talk about climate change. | ||
| But what they're not talking about is reading and student achievement. | ||
| Some interesting things that I'd like to kind of make note of, Steve, is the fact that there are... First off, hang on, hang on, slow down. | ||
| Tell people what the NEA is and why is it important in this conversation. | ||
| Why are they so important about, should be talking about what's happening in the classroom instead of abortion, Ukraine, climate change, gun safety, and gender ideology, ma'am. | ||
| Yes, sir. | ||
| So the National Education Association is the largest teachers union in the United States of America and they should be focused on teachers and teachers' jobs and pay and all of those things we would normally expect them to be concerned about. | ||
| Maybe not so much Abortion, climate change, foreign policy, Ukraine and Russia. | ||
| Not really sure how that's affecting American children not learning in schools, which is what American parents are concerned about. | ||
| So yeah, they're worried about a lot of things that really don't seem to kind of come into the scope of what they should be concerned about, and kids in schools are not doing well. | ||
| There's an action item that they have up for vote today that says that they will discard words like mother and father. | ||
| They want to be more inclusive, they say, and instead of parental leave, and instead of maternity leave, excuse me, they'll say parental leave, and there will be no more mother or father, only parents. | ||
| So they're gonna be voting on that. | ||
| They'd also like to vote, they'd like to push through mandatory masking and vaccine requirements for every American school child. | ||
| So, I mean, clearly this is a union that's out of control. | ||
| What does Tiffany Justice and Moms for Liberty, what do you propose as a counter to what NEA, because this is insane, I mean, what's the problem with mother and father? | ||
| What do they mean it's not inclusive? | ||
| I'm not really sure. | ||
| I think a lot of kids still have moms and dads, and it seems like they might be excluded in this situation by not allowing to use those words. | ||
| Steve, one of the things that the NEA also is doing is they're voting on coming up with fact sheets. | ||
| They say that there are organizations that are trying to hurt kids. | ||
| They're going to come up with fact sheets on these organizations. | ||
| I would imagine that Moms for Liberty will probably get a fact sheet, but the NEA is obviously very inaccurate about much of what they do. | ||
| So I wouldn't expect a lot of facts on these fact sheets. | ||
| Moms for Liberty. | ||
| We are a nationwide parent organization, non-profit, grassroots, focused on parental rights. | ||
| And so what we're doing is really trying to rally parents across the country. | ||
| The NEA has an undue influence. | ||
| Teachers unions. | ||
| Have an undue influence in your children's education, and they are more concerned about protecting the system than they are in improving the learning and teaching happening in classrooms. | ||
| So parents all over the country are standing up. | ||
| We're getting this information out to you. | ||
| Thank you for having me on to talk about this, because I think American parents are going to be blown away that this is what the largest teachers union wants to have happen in America, and it's very obvious they are off mission. | ||
| Here's the thing. | ||
| If the performance—if the United States is who put the most money in, if we were number one, two, or three in the world in reading comprehension, literacy, math comprehension, then you could have a debate, hey, why are you doing this other stuff? | ||
| Why are you on climate change, Ukraine, foreign policy? | ||
| But we're like 27th. | ||
| They're failing in their basic mission, which is to educate young people for a post-industrial world, right? | ||
| With classic education, but tied to the ability to make an impact in the world, to have critical thinking, and to have a job skill set that lets them be competitive. | ||
| Is that not basically your theory of the case? | ||
| They're failing so abjectly in what they're supposed to do. | ||
| All this other stuff just exacerbates the core problem. | ||
| And it leaves American parents and community members wondering, you know, we're paying all these taxes into a system. | ||
| The teachers are paying dues to this union, and the union is basically a political organization. | ||
| It doesn't seem like they really care about teachers. | ||
| It certainly doesn't seem like they care about kids and learning. | ||
| So parents should be very concerned. | ||
| The other thing that the National Education Association acknowledges here is that school boards Are the new battleground. | ||
| You and I have spoken before. | ||
| Teachers unions have been paying a lot of attention to school board seats across the country for years and years. | ||
| They've really controlled public education completely and we saw their influence during COVID, right? | ||
| And so Moms for Liberty is working to get school board members elected all over the country. | ||
| We only endorse in school board seats. | ||
| I sent some information over to your office earlier today about a political committee we have in Florida. | ||
| Parents, community members, I want to tell you, it's very, very important that you donate to school board members. | ||
| In one county in Florida, the National, excuse me, the American Federation for Teachers, the other largest teachers union we have in the country, has donated $150,000 into political committees in one county in Florida. | ||
| That is the focus that they have. | ||
| So when you're making political contributions, you can donate to Moms for Liberty. | ||
| We have a political committee in Florida. | ||
| It's momsforlibertyflpc.com. | ||
| You can donate to us. | ||
| We'll be giving to school board members. | ||
| Ron DeSantis endorsing school board seats in Florida this year. | ||
| We hope to see more governors doing that. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| There's the political committee. | ||
| We are making things happen because the union wants to keep these seats. | ||
| Real quickly, one last time. | ||
| How do people get to you on social media and how to get to both Miles for Liberty and your pack. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| So you can follow me, at Fort Tiffany Justice on Twitter, or at Moms4Liberty. | ||
| You can follow us on Facebook. | ||
| Go to our website, Moms4Liberty.org. | ||
| Click on the map. | ||
| You can see if you have a chapter near you. | ||
| We have over 200 chapters in 38 states now, almost 100,000 members. | ||
| If you'd like to donate to the Florida Political Committee, because Florida has definitely become a battleground. | ||
| I see the AFT and the NEA looking towards Florida to try to make changes. | ||
| Go to Moms4Liberty.org. | ||
| FLPC.com. | ||
| You can contribute to that political committee and we're going to be making sure that that political committee works to support school board candidates who respect parents. | ||
| Tiffany Justice, thank you very much. | ||
| Honored to have you on here. | ||
| We're going to be following this NEA story very closely. | ||
| Let's go. | ||
| Can we play? | ||
| Can Memphis play? | ||
| I want to play about the shooter in Highland Park and bring in Captain Van. | ||
| Let's go and play that cold open. | ||

Cremo pre-planned this attack for several weeks. | |
| He brought a high-powered rifle to this parade. | ||
| He accessed the roof of a business via a fire escape ladder and began opening fire on the innocent Independence Day celebration goers. | ||
| The rifle was purchased in Illinois and the information we have thus far is that it appears to have been purchased legally by Cremo. | ||
| During the attack, Primo was dressed in woman's clothing and investigators do believe he did this to conceal his facial tattoos and his identity and help him during the escape with the other people who were fleeing the chaos. | ||
| During the attack, we believe that Cremo fired more than... Go ahead, stop. | ||
| I want to bring in Captain Bannon. | ||
| That right there is... I think it's a lie. | ||
| It's spin. | ||
| How do they know that? | ||
| The guy is dressed up as a woman, not just a woman. | ||
| I mean, he's really dolled up with the makeup and everything. | ||
| Captain Bannon, what do you think the problem... and we put this up on... | ||
| Are they trying to hide the fact that this guy is just a flat-out freak? | ||
| And they're saying this now, the cops saying, oh investigators believe. | ||
| What do you mean? | ||
| What investigators? | ||
| What do you mean to believe? | ||
| The guy was dressed as a woman, okay? | ||
| And I mean not just a woman, he had the makeup and the mascara and the whole thing on. | ||
| Captain Bannon. | ||
| A hundred percent they're trying to hide this. | ||
| And as we see in other pictures, this isn't, you know, a one-time thing. | ||
| We see that, you know, this is Something that he's probably done before. | ||
| And to say it's a disguise in order to get away. | ||
| He pre-planned this. | ||
| There's no way. | ||
| And they're trying to hide something. | ||
| No, they're saying he's a Trump fan. | ||
| He went to the Trump rallies dressed as a freak to try to be like a freak, to try to stand out there. | ||
| This guy is not MAGA at all. | ||
| I want to know when we're going to see all the social media. | ||
| Also, I believe that he put these things up on Spotify. | ||
| He's a rapper on Spotify. | ||
| Is Joe Rogan and the guys at Spotify? | ||
| Joe Rogan, hey bro, you took $100 million from these guys. | ||
| Spotify is an accessory to these murders, I think. | ||
| Spotify is where this guy had this stuff up. | ||
| Why didn't Spotify take it down? | ||
| Where's Spotify? | ||
| They're taking everybody. | ||
| They took Joe Rogan down. | ||
| Didn't they threaten Joe Rogan on the Malone situation? | ||
| Our beloved Dr. Malone? | ||
| Where is all that? | ||
| Where is all that? | ||
| Where's Spotify? | ||
| And where are the executives of Spotify? | ||
| They're accessories before the fact. | ||
| This guy was talking about shootings. | ||
| He's talking about school shootings. | ||
| He's talking about shootings. | ||
| He said blood-curdling lyrics. | ||
| And he's up on Spotify. | ||
| Making money and building a brand on Spotify. | ||
| So where's all your sanctimoniousness now? | ||
| Spotify, this is outrageous and there ought to be an independent lawsuit against you by people. | ||
| There are lawyers right now of the wounded, the psychologically damaged and the dead should go after Spotify. | ||
| They're the platform that allowed this to happen. | ||
| Captain Bannon, we're on getter. | ||
| Can we get this information that you're putting up? | ||
| Non-stop about this horrific shooting in Highland Park. | ||
| You can follow me on Getter and Twitter at Maureen underscore Bannon and also on Instagram at Real Maureen Bannon and I just want to address that it needs to be looked into, like you said, his lyrics are absolutely disgusting and his songs at Spotify has allowed to be put up and no sane person would either write those lyrics and sing those songs and then carry out this act So the fact that I've addressed this before, mental illness needs to be addressed. | ||
| Hey, no offense. | ||
| The parents, starting with the mom and the dad, ought to be rolled up with this. | ||
| I know a lot of our audience doesn't agree with me, but hey, this is about the psychiatric drugs these kids, these young men, take. | ||
| The video games, they're all learning. | ||
| It's all the same guy. | ||
| By the way, authorities were familiar with this guy. | ||
| Like in Buffalo, like in Ovaldi, now like here. | ||
| Authorities know there's a problem. | ||
| They're taking these psychiatric drugs, right, from these doctors. | ||
| They're playing the video games non-stop. | ||
| They're in their rooms. | ||
| The parents are all punched out. | ||
| That's how I got stopped. | ||
| It's not about the guns. | ||
| That's the beating heart of the problem. | ||
| And people like Spotify are making, how much money did Spotify, are they going to come forward and tell us how much money they made off this murderer's music? | ||
| How much money did Spotify, how much blood money did they take? | ||
| Captain Bannon, give us your Getter account and your Twitter. | ||
| You can find me on Getter and Twitter at Maureen underscore Bannon. | ||
| I'll be posting stuff about this throughout the evening. | ||
| And nice. | ||
| Okay, Captain, thank you very much. | ||
| Okay, Captain, we're gonna be working late tonight. | ||
| Let's go. | ||
| We've got a call over from one and only Joe Allen. | ||
| Let's hear it. | ||

Teachers at this primary school in China know exactly when someone isn't paying attention. | |
| These headbands measure each student's level of concentration. | ||
| The information is then directly sent to the teacher's computer and to parents. | ||
| But schools say it wasn't hard for them getting parental consent to enroll kids into what is one of the world's largest experiments in AI education. | ||
| A program that's supposed to boost students' grades while also feeding powerful algorithms. | ||
| The government has poured billions of dollars into the project, bringing together tech giants, start-ups and schools. | ||
| We got exclusive access to a primary school a few hours outside of Shanghai. | ||
| To see first-hand how AI tech is being used in the classroom. | ||
| For this fifth grade class, the day begins with putting on a brain wave sensing gadget. | ||
| Students then practice meditating. | ||
| The device is made in China and has three electrodes, two behind the ears and one on the forehead. | ||
| These sensors pick up electrical signals sent by neurons in the brain. | ||
| The neural data is then sent in real time to the teacher's computer. | ||
| So while students are solving math problems, a teacher can quickly find out who's paying attention and who's not. | ||
| A report is then generated that shows how well the class was paying attention. | ||
| It even details each student's concentration level at 10-minute intervals. | ||
| Oh my God, if this doesn't scare you to the marrow of your bones. | ||
| Joe Allen, this is what I keep saying about transhumanism and about the convergence into the singularity. | ||
| We have no earthly idea of the experiments that are going on in other countries and what's on behind the scenes. | ||
| This is what they're public about. | ||
| Joe Allen, this is AI can actually read your thoughts? | ||
| Is that what I'm understanding with the headband, sir? | ||
| Yeah, that's the intention, Steve. | ||
| There's a lot of questions as to how accurate it is at the moment. | ||
| It's not reading actual thoughts as in words or images. | ||
| It's just simply gauging, in this instance, attention. | ||
| Now, there's a story that was just broken about A new program that the Comprehensive National Science Center in China is undergoing. | ||
| The operation basically subjects Communist Party members to digital surveillance while looking at Communist Party propaganda. | ||
| So the way it works is that a Communist Party member will sit down at a terminal, his face will be monitored by facial recognition, which will gauge emotion and different sorts of psychological disturbances. | ||
| And then also there will be a non-invasive brain-computer interface put on the head, just like in the film we just saw. | ||
| So, the purpose, of course, is to gauge how loyal a Communist Party member is to the party as they're absorbing propaganda. | ||
| This has been proposed in the U.S. | ||
| to monitor people for, say, for instance, the potential for mass shootings or things like that. | ||
| is every tech company working on brain-computer interfaces, is, they have two different ways of doing so. | ||
| It's either invasive, as we've covered quite a bit, going into the brain, which is highly experimental, and is not being rolled out en masse. | ||
| But then you have the non-invasive brain-computer interface, which doesn't need FDA approval or anything like that. | ||
| And as we see in China, it's being rolled out in experimental programs for children in order to improve supposedly educational quality. | ||
| You can be sure that it's also priming them for the later sorts of procedures that we see coming out of the Comprehensive National Science Center. | ||
| I just want to make sure. | ||
| We have the two paths is the Elon Musk. | ||
| That's the Neuralink chip in the brain, right? | ||
| And the other path is this band around the head. | ||
| Both of them eventually get you to the same point because it's a brain chip. | ||
| It's a brain-computer interface. | ||
| Is that correct, Joe? | ||
| Yeah, but obviously the non-invasive doesn't get the detail that the invasive is looking for. | ||
| So what's really important about the non-invasive brain-computer interface, just the simple CAPS to scan your brain, is that it's readily acceptable by so many people. | ||
| There aren't any sort of health risks other than social health and psychological health. | ||
| And so the non-invasive brain-computer interface is a stepping stone we already have our foot on. | ||
| Brave new world. | ||
| Joe, how do people get to you if all the breaking news you're putting up on warroom.org and your own site about transhumanism? | ||
| Yeah, of course you can find me, warroom.org, under the transhumanism tab. | ||
| Also my social media, at J-O-E-B-O-T-X-Y-Z, or my website, joebot.xyz. | ||
| There's a new article up about the potential transhumanist race war. | ||
| I gotta tell you, tomorrow morning, Joe, thank you very much. | ||
| Here's the reporting. | ||
| We've got so much going on, we've got to make more time for Joe Allen and our Daily Hits. | ||
| Be back here at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. | ||
| I cannot tell you, I know it's July, it's July 5th, most people are taking the week off, we're not. | ||
| Here's the reason. | ||
| The world's on fire with news that you need to know. | ||
| Information you need to understand. | ||
| You're going to get it here at the War Room tomorrow morning against Steve Cortez. | ||
| We're going to have a blockbuster show. | ||
| Dr. Malone's with us. | ||
| Who else? | ||
| Oh, we got Russ Vogt on this amazing, amazing thing they've done at his organization about stopping the invasion on the southern border. | ||
| All of it going to be 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. | ||
| We want to see everyone here standing tall in the War Room. |
