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

Pandemic. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Okay, strap in because we've got a big show in the second hour. | ||
| It is Friday, 8 July, Year of the Lord 2022, historic day already, assassination overnight of former Prime Minister Abe, one of President Trump's closest, I would think the closest, he and Modi, the two closest of the international leaders and a great nationalist leader. | ||
| To make Japan great again. | ||
| Gunned down in the street. | ||
| Looks like a former naval person or marine shot him with a homemade shotgun at Point Blank Ranger. | ||
| He was campaigning, as they traditionally do in one of the traditional cities of Nara, just on essentially a street corner, talking to an audience. | ||
| One of the great individuals to rearm Japan and understood as well as anybody in the world, because I got a chance to spend some time with him and his people, and then went back over to Japan after left the White House to give a speaking tour. | ||
| And these are hardcore anti-CCP. | ||
| They understand the existential threat that the Chinese Communist Party is to not just people in the region. | ||
| But to the entire world and obviously their own beloved Japan. | ||
| I've been fortunate in the Navy. | ||
| My naval career, I spent a lot of time in Japan. | ||
| I was in the Pacific Fleet and just have a great, tremendous fondness. | ||
| In fact, over the weekend I was telling stories about how I climbed Mount Fuji as a young man, which is always a tradition for the Navy when they're there. | ||
| I want to go to Dave Walsh. | ||
| Dave, this story is starting to get legs and it's freaking people out as more information is coming about it. | ||
| The Strategic Petroleum Reserve is only supposed to be used in the most dire national security issues we have. | ||
| During the Gulf War, which a lot of the audience may be too young to remember, happened in the early 90s, right, to free Kuwait. | ||
| I think it was 12 million gallons then, and then 20 million gallons during Katrina, when all the capacity around Lake Charles and other places in Louisiana were taken out of commission. | ||
| We let go 20 million gallons then, and 17 million gallons, I think it was, for the For the Gulf War, right? | ||
| Which is pre-Iraq and pre-911, all that. | ||
| What people don't understand, and Dave Walsh, the person you talked about a couple of months ago here, he said, hey, they're letting out essentially, we think, a million gallons a day over the last 60 days, which is extraordinary. | ||
| And now we find out, because Reuters did an incredible story, and hat tip to the reporters there, they get into the bills of laden, but five million gallons, excuse me, five million barrels, five million barrels of our strategic reserve have gone to foreign countries, including I think 950,000 barrels, I think it is now, to the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| Dave Walsh, any updates on this? | ||
| Because you have Tucker Carlson, Frank Gaffney, you have a slew of people saying, hey, this is impeachable. | ||
| To know that our strategic asset, we're supposed to use in times of crises, emergency, and things related to our national security, are not supposed to be used as export. | ||
| First, they're not supposed to be used to bring the price down. | ||
| Right? | ||
| He's got other methods to do that. | ||
| Dave Walsh, give us an update. | ||
| Yeah, the Katrina disaster was another example of that major release. | ||
| You know, exactly for its intended purpose at the time. | ||
| We had a supply disturbance in the Gulf. | ||
| It was needed. | ||
| But this program began in November. | ||
| The President released 50 million barrels in November, 30 million in January. | ||
| 31 million in April. | ||
| Beginning April 1, a million a day. | ||
| The goal, through and announced September 30th, 1 million barrels a day. | ||
| So, by the end of this process, we'll have released 231 million of an inherited balance of about 560 million. | ||
| So he's releasing, in the aggregate, about 40% of it. | ||
| It's a little complicated. | ||
| Congress has had their hand in this in the past. | ||
| In about 2015 and 2016, through three separate acts, Congress stepped up to begin funding overspending by the federal government, the 21st Century Cures Act, the Balanced Budget Act of 15, and then the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 18 set forth a programmatic reduction of the SPR by about 271,000 barrels between now, 2017 and 2028. | ||
| What he appears to be doing is pulling forward the 2028 total allowance by Congress to release 271,000 barrels between 2017 and 2028 on a programmatic basis, somehow being pulled forward to happen all now. | ||
| And once again, for reasons not to do with national security, any national disaster or national need for oil, but instead to attempt to manipulate prices. | ||
| So, Congress's involvement has been present, but not telling. | ||
| Usually, the President has decreed, President Bush in the past, prior Presidents, dispatch of this, but to this degree, and particularly going to China... Well, that's the point, by the way. | ||
| So, hold it. | ||
| So, you have this complicated thing, you can't pull it, maybe technically you can pull it before people have to check, but it's not supposed to be used For foreign sources, or somebody has to come back for approval. | ||
| To know that it went to the port in Italy is a backdoor thing about this Ukraine war they don't want to tell anybody about. | ||
| That's obvious, right? | ||
| The same thing with coming up in the Baltic. | ||
| That's another deal associated, trust me, that's associated with the Ukraine war they don't want to tell anybody about. | ||
| But the one that sticks and crawls, 950,000 barrels it looks like, going to China for the CCP because they're jammed up. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Like we care. | ||
| Because they're underwriting the Russian situation. | ||
| Why did it take, Dave, in your mind, because the world's oil markets are looked at by every analyst in the world, why did it take Reuters going to the bills of Leydon to find out what this scam was? | ||
| Well, the government has to rely on the private sector to ship and transport oil. | ||
| They relied on Phillips Petroleum, and they relied on a French-owned wholesale distributor of oil with refining capacity in Texas to distribute this. | ||
| Now, almost for certain they directed where it's going. | ||
| For certain. | ||
| They didn't blindly put this into... They may come back and say they gave it to the private sector. | ||
| They certainly gave it, in my strong opinion, to the private sector with direction of where to send it. | ||
| Almost without question. | ||
| And you're exactly right. | ||
| There is no province in the way this whole process was set up in the mid-70s about exporting the Strategic Petroleum Reserve for any reason. | ||
| The goal and intent was to use it domestically for supply shortages and some domestic management of impacts from foreign interventions such as we experienced with OPEC back in the 70s. | ||
| There was nothing in the way this was set up whatsoever or in the congressional approval to even sell some of it to be exporting it and get in the business of being supporting foreign policy with it. | ||
| That's, and or, it's supposedly being auctioned. | ||
| That needs to be evaluated. | ||
| Dave, we got a minute. | ||
| I just got to ask you a question, because this is three card money. | ||
| Is there any actions you've seen come from this White House to get to the heart of some of the basics of getting their hands around this energy crisis right now that is the underpinnings of the inflation and economic crisis we have, sir? | ||
| No, it continues to be nothing but the opposite. | ||
| Even last week, right before SCOTUS ruled on the old Clean Air Power Plan, the administration, through its EPA, is jumping into the NOx emissions emanating from the Permian Basin fracking. | ||
| That is our main Saudi Arabia, the Permian Basin of West Texas. | ||
| they're beginning to bore into emissions there in the production of oil on top of their actions taken by the department of interior on a offshore drilling on alaska on on the gulf of mexico being yet leases being withdrawn in the gulf of mexico so on top of that additionally in the power sector in coal-fired power they're advancing a process of looking at very severe restrictions now on nitrous oxide emissions coming out of coal plants and gas-fired plants | ||
| to begin to restrict their operation further despite the despite this godis ruling this This process continues by the EPA of looking at ways and means to basically take us out of Fossil-fired power generation in this country. | ||
| That's their goal and objective. | ||
| They've said it. | ||
| So, no, all of their actions have been counterintuitive to building supply. | ||
| All of them. | ||
| Dave Walsh, how do people get to you on Getter? | ||
| Because you're putting up great information all day long. | ||
| Dave Walsh, Energy, on Getter. | ||
| Thank you, Steve. | ||
| Dave, thank you very much for the update. | ||
| If you think this economic problem is going to go away, if you think of the economic, and by the way, other news out today about wages, I think we're going to try to get Cortez, I'm going to try to track him down. | ||
| Boris is up? | ||
| No Boris? | ||
| I got Conradson? | ||
| Okay, anybody else? | ||
| Okay, fine. | ||
| I'll go to Joe Conradson. | ||
| Cortez has got some analysis on the economic situation. | ||
| But I want to go to Joe Conradtson from Gateway Pundit, who's done such a fantastic job out in everything related to Arizona. | ||
| Joe, so here's a question. | ||
| This thing in Maricopa County last night, it looked like a shocker. | ||
| Is this meaningful, sir? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Thank you for having me, Steve. | ||
| It's always a pleasure to be in the War Room. | ||
| Um, so this is extremely meaningful. | ||
| I mean, we finally have Maricopa County Republicans standing up and rejecting the fraudulent, illegitimate Joe Biden regime. | ||
| So this is huge. | ||
| Every single state in the country, every single county, every single committee, they need to follow the lead of Arizona and Texas and draft a resolution like this. | ||
| Okay, so walk us through what this resolution actually is. | ||
| Tell us what technically happened last night in Maricopa County. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What happened last night? | |
| Maricopa County is standing in solidarity with Texas. | ||
| They rejected the results. | ||
| They rejected the certification of the 2020 election. | ||
| So basically, they rejected Joe Biden and his fraudulent presidency. | ||
| Which is huge. | ||
| So it was unanimous. | ||
| Where does it go? | ||
| That's the Maricopa County Republicans. | ||
| Where does it go from here? | ||
| I understand we still can't get it through the House and they got a big fight in the Senate. | ||
| I understand this is important. | ||
| Where do you think, in your reporting, where does this go next in Arizona? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, from here, Maricopa County is on record rejecting the results. | |
| It just needs to spread to every single county. | ||
| We need this to basically start a trend. | ||
| It needs to go nationwide. | ||
| Everybody in the country needs to follow this resolution and do the same thing pretty much in their own organization. | ||
| Joe, where do people go to get your reporting on this? | ||
| Where are you on social media? | ||
| Because people got to start following you because, you're right, this is going to start to metastasize. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's right. | |
| Well, you can find me at TheGatewayPundit.com. | ||
| Always writing articles up there. | ||
| You can find me on social media, on Truth Social on Twitter. | ||
| My name is Jordan Conradson. | ||
| Jordan, thank you very much. | ||
| Appreciate having you on here. | ||
| Thank you for taking time away today. | ||
|

|
Thank you, Steve. | |
| OK, I want to get in. | ||
| I've got Boris and I'm going to have Cortez here in a second. | ||
| Boris, first off, before I get to Maricopa County, let me ask you about the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. | ||
| Can you imagine Donald J. Trump? | ||
| Think about this for a second, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Can you imagine? | ||
| This is what scumbags the Biden regime is and how weak and how evil. | ||
| Can you imagine Trump drawing that thing down? | ||
| Because the energy is all messed up? | ||
| He had full spectrum energy dominance! | ||
| Dominance! | ||
| And the world was a better place. | ||
| Can you imagine him drawing down the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, playing games with it? | ||
| But what beggars belief is to think that in a crisis like this, Donald Trump would, behind the scenes, sneakily put this out to this Ukraine nonsense in these different ports, but more importantly, give the Chinese Communist Party almost a million barrels. | ||
| Brother, give me a minute on that before we go to break, Boris. | ||
| It is completely despicable. | ||
| I think, to me, this is borderline treasonous. | ||
| This is the main issue facing our country right now. | ||
| Americans in need, all Americans, Americans of all backgrounds, are struggling with the sky-high gas prices given to us by the Biden administration. | ||
| And what does he do? | ||
| He goes and, off the back, goes and sends almost a million barrels to our largest, most significant And that's the truth, by the way. | ||
| The Chinese Communist Party is the strongest, most long-term, most rabid adversary that we have. | ||
| Because you better believe they're playing in Russia. | ||
| You better believe they're playing in Iran. | ||
| They are pulling the strings from behind the scenes. | ||
| These other people are players. | ||
| China is the coach. | ||
| And that's who Beijing Zhou is continuing to buddy up with. | ||
| And hey, we screamed about this on the mountaintops during the campaign. | ||
| And now, that's what we have from the stolen election. | ||
| It's unbelievable. | ||
| Stolen elections have catastrophic consequences. | ||
| Okay, Boris back in a second. | ||
| We're talking about Maricopa County and some polling next. | ||

| War Room. Pandemic. With Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||

| Normally over a hundred bucks. | ||
| Go check it out today. | ||
| Boris, Maricopa County. | ||
| How important is this? | ||
| It's absolutely vital, Steve. | ||
| The Maricopa County issue is vital. | ||
| It's huge. | ||
| It's monumental, because it's always signaling that noise for the audience. | ||
| This is dominoes falling, as we've continued to say to the audience. | ||
| This is dominoes falling across the country on 3 November. | ||
| And by the way, it was unanimous, and that is a major big deal. | ||
| This was a unanimous decision by the Maricopa County Republicans. | ||
| The Maricopa We're about two-thirds of the votes in Arizona overall. | ||
| So, now you've got Texas, you've got Arizona, there was a vote in Wisconsin as well, which went the same way. | ||
| And you're going to see more and more, Tennessee's talking, you're going to see more and more states carrying... Okay, but hang on, hang on, hang on, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, 10 seconds here, hang on. | ||
| You got the counties, and look, Maricopa County, because the Republican Party wasn't with the program before, unanimous, huge. | ||
| When does Boris Epstein think, you start seeing this translate from Republican county commissions, things that are important like the state convention in Texas, to things called the state legislatures, where there are Republican majorities, sir? | ||
| Vital question. | ||
| Here's another key part, and I'll answer this in two seconds. | ||
| These are not resolutions which reject the elections in the states or in the counties. | ||
| In Texas and in Arizona, they're rejecting the election as a whole and saying that the whole thing was rigged and stolen. | ||
| So, that is very, very strong and very vital. | ||
| Now, in terms of translating it, The answer is very simple. | ||
| The more MAGA candidates we elect to state legislatures and to governorship, because governors can call special sessions, the closer we're going to get full rebuke to a full reclaim, to a full decertification of the 2020 election. | ||
| That's why elections are so vital. | ||
| You know, Arizona, Missouri, both coming up here in just a couple of weeks on August 2nd. | ||
| You got Florida later in August. | ||
| So it is all about elections, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| The war room policy, the MAGA movement under the leadership of President Trump, as we put our shoulder to the wheel and elect our candidates, and we tell them that their raison d'etre, one of their top two reasons, three reasons of being elected, is to deal with the 2020 election. | ||
| That is how we're going to get there because look at this resolution on the floor in Arizona that was put forward by Fincham. | ||
| Same thing in Wisconsin by Ramathan. | ||
| Both those resolutions not moving forward because in both cases you've got Rusty Bowers in Arizona, Robin Voss in Wisconsin, and they're just giving lip service or really actually just You're poking a stick in the eye of MAGA and saying we're not going to deal with this. | ||
| And that is how they're ending their political careers and that is why MAGA is ascendant. | ||
| This is why I want to make sure everybody understands. | ||
| This is why these resolutions are important and they're going to get to the state legislatures. | ||
| Boris, I want everybody, particularly the mainstream media that watches us and they have the producers on here watching it, understand something. | ||
| We are going to decertify the Biden electors in those six states. | ||
| We are dedicated to that purpose. | ||
| Is that correct, Boris Epstein? | ||
| We have to. | ||
| This is not about Trump. | ||
| It's not about President Trump. | ||
| This is about this republic. | ||
| We are going to decertify those electors. | ||
| And this is why people say, well, why is Maricopa County the middle? | ||
| No, this is part of a plan and we have our shoulders to the wheel on this 24. | ||
| If you knew the work that Boris is doing and other people are doing to make sure this is going to go nationwide, those six frontline states, and I think even more. | ||
| But one is to get the machines out at the local level. | ||
| That's what they're working on, whether it's courts or these county resolutions. | ||
| The other is the decertification of the Biden electors. | ||
| Am I correct there, Boris? | ||
| No doubt about it. | ||
| And really, there's two parts to it. | ||
| One, we know this election was rigged and stolen. | ||
| It's clear as day that it was rigged and stolen. | ||
| So there has to be a cure. | ||
| And as Judge Gableman laid out in Wisconsin, the correct cure is to decertify and to reclaim the electors in each specific state. | ||
| And I believe that no matter how much that pisses off Shifty Schiff, and little Jamie Raskin, and Benny... If you look at the Constitution, under the Tenth Amendment, under the Due Process Clause, And under Article 2, it is the state legislatures that have the right to deal with this. | ||
| It's incumbent upon them to deal with it. | ||
| And there's precedent for dealing with stolen and rigged elections, and that is to decertify. | ||
| And by the way, Supreme Court's going to be talking about that in the next—they're going to be taking these cases on, which are all melting down about in the next session. | ||
| Also, little Jamie Raskin and Benny Thompson and Pelosi, you're on the clock. | ||
| You're a couple hundred days away, some days away from, boom, being gone, just being a minority for a hundred years. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| Because that's MAGA Ascendant, whether it's school boards, whether it's county commissions, whether it's attorney generals, whether it's DAs, whether it's state legislatures, Houses and Senate, House of Delegates, State Senates, whether it's the House and the Senate. | ||
| And that's not even the 24th cycle for the Senate, this time. | ||
| Okay, even before we start talking about Trump's run in 2024. | ||
| You're going to be essentially irrelevant. | ||
| We'll treat you nicely. | ||
| When we have committees, all these committees and the investigations, you'll have a ranking member and you have a minority council. | ||
| We want to play by the rules. | ||
| One of the reasons we want to rub your nose in it, that's why we want to make sure you've got a council there and you've got a ranking member. | ||
| Because whether it's the laptop from hell, or whether it's Fauci, or whether it's the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, or whether it's the invasion of the southern border, and we're going to list out 50 more things. | ||
| Right? | ||
| We're going to list out 50 more. | ||
| We want to make sure you guys have nothing to whine about about process because we're going to rub your nose in the facts and we are going to decertify the 2020 Biden electors. | ||
| Boris. | ||
| No doubt about it. | ||
| And the Democrats know it. | ||
| That's the beautiful part. | ||
| You see this desperation from them. | ||
| That's why, you know, they're scheduling all, you know, unexpected hearings and surprise hearings with Cassidy Hutchinson, who embarrasses her. | ||
| Democrats know we're coming. | ||
| The Democrats know that we're taking over, and they know that MAGA is going to treat them in a better way than they've treated us, because we are right. | ||
| The truth is with us, and with the truth is going to come an absolute demolition of the Democrat Party because they have stolen elections, they have betrayed the American people, and they've betrayed the country. | ||
| I'm looking for a criminal referral coming out of the house there. | ||
| Guys, somebody stand up. | ||
| Let's have some leaders there. | ||
| Boris, how did they get to your morning newsletter? | ||
| How did they get to all your social media? | ||
| The Morning Newsletter is hot. | ||
| I haven't put out the one yet about Gavin Newsom being a boozer, but I'm working on it. | ||

Okay. | |
| Don't go too far, because this afternoon I still gotta get polling from you, so we'll trace you down later. | ||
| Thank you, Boris. | ||
| Steve Cortez, breaking news this morning on the employment. | ||
| They're still hanging their hat on the employment. | ||
| They haven't seen Steve Cortez's segment on the Boston Globe yesterday that says 51% of small business in the country have said, hey, we're closing shop right after Christmas. | ||
| Cortez, tell me about the breaking news this morning. | ||
| And Steve, that's in the next six months. | ||
| That's with those business owners. | ||
| By the way, before I get to the jobs report, another really disturbing detail from that same report from the Boston Globe, and the survey was done by Alignable of thousands of small businesses in this country. | ||
| Among restaurant owners, Steve, 72% said they fear they're going to go out of business in the next six months. | ||
| So 51% Tell them what the number was on people that have skipped paying rent in the month of June. | ||
| What was the number? | ||
| 35% of small business owners have reported that they did not make rent. | ||
| go there again because people may have seen tell them tell them what the number was on people that have skipped paying rent yes in the month of June what was the number five thirty-five percent of small business owners have reported that they did not make rent they could not make rent in the month of June in the United States an alignable survey that was reported in the Boston Globe of thousands of small businesses across the country sixty percent | ||
| 60% of small business owners say that the current inflation situation is worse for their businesses than COVID was. | ||
| Worse than the lockdowns. | ||
| That is the reality right now. | ||
| Small business is not just in a recession, Steve. | ||
| Small business is teetering on the edge of a depression. | ||
| That is the reality right now for small businesses. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because they cannot deal with inflation. | ||
| Because they don't have the scale. | ||
| They don't have the ability to handle inflation the way some giant multinationals can. | ||
| And some giant multinationals even benefit from inflation. | ||
| That is almost never the case Here's the reality, Steve. | ||
| business in this country. Now, in terms of workers, headline number not bad out today regarding the jobs market, but the devil's in the details as it often is. And digging into the details average hourly earnings. Here's the reality, Steve, according to official government statistics. Right now, the average American is losing 3.5% in real wages. | ||
| Real wages are going down. | ||
| So, even if you are getting a raise, it's not enough to keep up with the costs that are galloping higher in your life. | ||
| And by the way, when I say 3.5%, Steve, that's using official government metrics, 8.6%. | ||
| Overall for CPI inflation, which I think vastly understates the reality for most Americans because if we look at the staples of life if you take Groceries gasoline and utilities just those three have two items right fundamental non-discretionary items those three put together are rising at a 25% clip right now according to apartments.com rents are rising at a 15% clip right now. | ||
| So I think, if anything, the CPI number, as bad as it is, it vastly understates the reality that is facing most Americans, which is double-digit inflation and wages are not rising nearly fast enough to keep pace. | ||
| So Americans, here's the reality, Steve. | ||
| Americans are getting poorer every single day, every single month, because of Joe Biden. | ||
| By the way, you got the wages, the real wages dropping. | ||
| You also got the devaluations, the rolling devaluation of the dollar. | ||
| We're going to take a short break. | ||
| We're going to come back and we're going to talk about the states. | ||
| President Trump's heading to Alaska. | ||
| Huge rally. | ||
| We had Kelly Schabacke on. | ||
| We got Sarah Palin's going to be on tonight to kick off the show at Faber-Kac. | ||
| Talk about this historic President Trump heading to Alaska. | ||
| Steve Cortez is going to break down some of the states and see what's working and what's not when we come back in The War Room. | ||

Things be good, and you are over Cause we're taking 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 Look at where we are economically And we are in a strong, we are stronger economically than we have been in history | |
| When you look at the unemployment numbers at 3.6 percent, when you look at the jobs numbers, more than 8.7 million of new jobs created. | ||
| That is important. | ||
| Okay, Steve Cortez, your assessment of Zen Master, was it Jean Pierre, her daily briefing, particularly on economics, sir? | ||
| You know, Steve, I don't know how she keeps a straight face when she says some of the ridiculous lies when she makes these assertions from that podium. | ||
| That podium, by the way, has seen a lot of clowns, let's just be honest, over the years, but never has anyone as dumb as Corinne Jean-Pierre had that podium before. | ||
| And she tried to literally say yesterday, That we have the greatest economy ever in the United States. | ||
| Of course, the American people feel very differently because they know the reality that they are living with and they know that inflation is absolutely crushing this country right now and that Biden's policies have wreaked havoc upon the American economy. | ||
| They are crushing our spirits, crushing the prosperity of regular Americans. | ||
| And I think it's fitting, by the way, that that Donald Trump is going to Alaska tomorrow for a lot of reasons. | ||
| And I recently wrote an article, Steve, that I put up on my Substack about the GDP broken down by the states, because it's very telling if you get into the details of where the states are. | ||
| So this is GDP for quarter one, which was just released by the Commerce Department. | ||
| We don't have quarter two yet, of course, for the country nor for the states, but for quarter one, we do. | ||
| And countrywide, the GDP declined 1.6%. | ||
| That was a miserable number, of course, for the first quarter. | ||
| Right now, it looks like, according to the Atlanta Fed, we're on track for about minus 2% GDP growth for the second quarter nationally. | ||
| But if we look at the states, Steve, the energy-producing states, and Alaska is certainly one of them, a key one, the situation is far worse than minus 1.6. | ||
| We're actually at depression levels of recession or even depression in states like Alaska. | ||
| So, Alaska right now, to be specific, in the first quarter, according to the Commerce Department, GDP declined 8.2%. | ||
| Steve, that is a stunning fall in GDP, down 8.2%. | ||
| It was the second worst in America. | ||
| The worst was another energy-rich state, which is Wyoming. | ||
| Wyoming was down 9.7%, Steve. | ||
| Almost a 10% decline in Wyoming. | ||
| Let me tell you about other energy states. | ||
| West Virginia, down 6.1%. | ||
| North Dakota, down 6.3%. | ||
|
unidentified
|
New Mexico, down 4.7%. | |
| Dakota down 6.3, New Mexico down 4.7, Louisiana down 4.3. | ||
| Steve, these are the consequences of Biden's war on American energy He is crushing the energy rich states of this country and Alaska. | ||
| Not quite most of all, but almost. | ||
| It's literally 49 out of 50 states in the country. | ||
| Steve, by the way, also breaking down these states. | ||
| Only four states had growth at all in the first quarter. | ||
| Only four states. | ||
| And the highest growth in the entire country was New Hampshire, which had a paltry positive 1.2% growth rate. | ||
| And I dug into that, Steve, because I was curious, well, okay, how did New Hampshire somehow eke out growth? | ||
| Well, once you look into it, government spending accounted for literally all of it. | ||
| For all of the growth of New Hampshire. | ||
| You take government spending away, And they were also in recession. | ||
| So unfortunately, you know, I mentioned before the devils in the details regarding the jobs report, the devils in the details regarding GDP as well. | ||
| And Donald Trump needs to go to Alaska and make the case that he's going to save their state from Joe Biden's harms. | ||
| Remember, his theory, and this is why Kurt Cortez breaks it down so special, is that it's full spectrum energy dominance, not energy independence, energy dominance. | ||
| That gets into a solution. | ||
| And as Dave Walsh just said here at the top of the hour, Every policy they have is the exact opposite. | ||
| Now you've got this three-card money with the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. | ||
| You're not going to get it sorted until you get the energy policy sorted. | ||
| And they're not going to do it because they've bought into the high church theology of climate change, global warming, and the Green New Deal. | ||
| This is what's Europe. | ||
| This is why Russia And this is why Russia has all this leverage. | ||
| This is absolutely absurd, and this is because of conscious decisions that they're making. | ||
| Steve Cortez, amazing. | ||
| Steve, give us your social media, because your sub stack's on fire, what you're putting up on Getter is terrific, and you're actually doing specials where you're coming in on Getter and doing chalk talks, etc. | ||
| So tell people how to get to all your content. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| So please find me at Getter. | ||
| It's very simple there. | ||
| I'm at Steve. | ||
| And you can still find me on Twitter for now. | ||
| And I'm at CortesSteveCortes with an S. Thank you. | ||
| Now, Cortez, one last thing, because I know you were a messaging guy back on 16 and 20. | ||
| You're one of Trump's top messaging guys. | ||
| I just got to say, and I want to go this on record because I put up on Get Around the Time. | ||
| I think Jean-Pierre is a Zen master with the sound of one hand clapping or she's Chauncey Gardner being there. | ||
| She's one of the... These people ask all these serious questions to the White House. | ||
| Her answers never relate back to the topic or they're such ludicrous. | ||
| They're so ludicrous. | ||
| The economy is the greatest ever. | ||
| I gotta give her a heads up. | ||
| She should watch your segment. | ||
| We'll get this to the White House, make sure they see it, what you did on the Boston Globe piece on small business. | ||
| Because small businesses told us, through the Boston Globe, not Gateway Pundit, not Breitbart, not War Room, through Boston Globe, through this analysis and study that was done, that they're not just falling off a cliff. | ||
| They're already, you know, 51% said they're not, their doors are not going to be open in six months. | ||
| What, a third of them can't make, they can make payroll, but they can't make rent in June, right? | ||
| This is, it's catastrophic, what's happening, and they're going to be looking for a ballot. | ||
| When they come back from the August recess, the first thing they're going to talk about is another massive American Recovery Plan 2, which as Cortez told you, It's not going to be so easy, because that's what threw the gasoline on the dumpster fire of the inflation they created. | ||
| Correct, sir? | ||
| And Stephen, that's when we are at risk of becoming Argentina. | ||
| That's when that can really happen, because another massive stimulus, more exorbitant borrowing and spending, will send already crisis-level inflation Into the stratosphere and so those risks are real and I want Americans to to know that to know that you know Argentina Roughly a century ago was as wealthy as the United States, but policy mistakes policy Errors have real consequences. | ||
| We're already seeing it right now real time in the United States Don't assume that it can't get massively worse small that small business survey Steve that tells us that small business is not in a recession It's teetering on the edge of a depression. | ||
| Alaska losing 8% GDP in the first quarter. | ||
| That is a depression. | ||
| That is the reality right now in America. | ||
| It can get demonstrably worse if we let it, and we can't let it. | ||
| The buried lead is that the number you came off of is 1.6. | ||
| The first quarter is already better. | ||
| Atlanta Fed tells us the second quarter is going to be worse. | ||
| We know that. | ||
| It's going to be worse. | ||
| A lot worse. | ||
| That's going to get baked into the numbers. | ||
| Remember, all the job growth comes from the small business. | ||
| Look, we'll get to this later. | ||
| Cortez, fantastic job. | ||
| Make sure you get to Cortez on Twitter, but particularly Getter where he's got his chalk talks up. | ||
| He does a special. | ||
| Steve, thank you so much. | ||
| Matt Schlapp, CPAC. | ||
| Matt, I know the book's been on fire, but you've got some announcements here on some of the things you're doing. | ||
| Every time I turn around, you've got another CPAC going on in Hungary or Brazil or something. | ||
| The world's media is now, you've blown up the heads of the U.S. | ||
| media. | ||
| Now you've gone around the world, you've gone around, the one in Hungary, I've never seen coverage like that, and I'm an aficionado of this, I've never seen coverage of any conference like the one you did in Hungary. | ||
| Literally, the world's regime media melted down. | ||
| Schlapp, you got other announcements for us? | ||
| You're taking this show on the road, where's it going? | ||
| Yeah, so I just have to say, Jack Posobiec did an amazing job as the journalist on the street picking up the Whatever you want to call them, media heads exploding when they weren't allowed to, like, walk through every aisle. | ||
| You know, there's no free media if you tell the media you can't walk in a building. | ||
| Did you know that, Steve? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know if you knew that. | |
| None. | ||
| That was fantastic. | ||
| The hungry thing was extraordinary. | ||
| You're actually going to be doing some regional CPACs also, correct? | ||
| Yeah, that's right. | ||
| Now, look, we don't call them that anymore. | ||
| What we've decided to do is to take CPAC You really can't have CPAC in America without having it in the two states that are driving everything. | ||
| You and Steve just talked about economic growth. | ||
| Let me tell you something else about economic growth. | ||
| It's not just about small businesses. | ||
| It's about all, excuse me, it's not just about small businesses, it's about where they are. | ||
| And all the growth in our economy, it's coming from two main engines, Texas and Florida, because freedom still lives there. | ||
| And everybody who wants to do something economically has now a base in Texas and Florida. | ||
| So our next CPAC is rightfully going to be in Dallas. | ||
| It's about a month away. | ||
| It's August 4 to 6. | ||
| We're going to have great speakers. | ||
| All the people you want to see, these international people, are going to be coming. | ||
| I mean, one of the things we've learned, Steve, in our international CPACs is that the world goes through this accordion of having a lot of great freedom-loving leaders, and then it goes through these periods of time where there's nobody. | ||
| And this is one of these sad times, you know, ever since Trump left the White House, what we've seen across the world is a very big concern of our allies in the fight for freedom, losing elections, getting pushed out, real dysfunction in countries like the UK where, you know, a lot of conservatives got lied to. | ||
| So, you know, we got a few leaders left and what's interesting is they all want to be at CPAC. | ||
| Here's the thing. | ||
| So this is interesting. | ||
| So when you went to Florida because of COVID, that was huge. | ||
| And now, Senator. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So this Texas, you're saying it's going to be the same level of the Florida? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Because that thing was all over the world. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| This is the thing. | ||
| How do you do? | ||
| Look, I like Florida for a lot of reasons. | ||
| Some other people like Texas for a lot of reasons. | ||
| They're picking up the congressional districts. | ||
| All of the leadership is coming out of their two states. | ||
| We all know this. | ||
| The Northeast is kind of dying. | ||
| California is actually losing a Congressional seat. | ||
| That's never happened in the history of this country. | ||
| So you see this seismic shift. | ||
| It's not just economics. | ||
| It's also redoing our political map. | ||
| And that's why, Steve, I'd like to say it's awfully important for you to be at CPAC in Dallas. | ||
| Well, I've got to tell you, I'm honored. | ||
| We're going to do, actually, I want all the War Room posse to know this. | ||
| We're going to take the show on the road. | ||
| We're going to be down there. | ||
| We're going to do the shows beforehand, afterwards during it, have the full crew down there. | ||
| I'm very honored, Matt. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| I am honored to be at CPAC. | ||
| In fact, We're doing a special this weekend of Deconstructing the Administrative State, and we're going to start that special with my interview by Matt Schlapp. | ||
| What was it, February 17? | ||
| That thing is so... Gorsuch and Kavanaugh came through, so we've got Bill McGinley, we've got Mike Davis, we're going to have Dr. Malone, we've got Peter Navarro, others tomorrow, on Saturday, to do Deconstructing the Administrative State, and that all came off of the interview you did with me in 17, right? | ||
| Yeah, did you see the look on my face? | ||
| Steve Bannon is on the CPAC stage. | ||
| He's there with Reince Priebus. | ||
| It's kind of a confusing setup. | ||
| Steve's very relaxed. | ||
| He's just a little bit nervous. | ||
| And Steve starts talking and using all these terms. | ||
| And he's like, blah, blah, blah, deconstruct the administrative state. | ||
| And a guy like me has to press pause in my brain and say, wait a minute. | ||
| There's a whole bunch there in just a couple of words. | ||
| I got to think about this for half a minute. | ||
| But you were just going on. | ||
| And afterwards, I had so many people come up to me and say, What was Steve Bannon talking about? | ||
| I loved it, but I don't know if I understand it. | ||
| I was like, I think we're gonna all see it. | ||
| But here's the thing I love about that crowd, because I said the three lines of work, national security, economic nationalism, and the entire crowd went nuts. | ||
| This shows you the CPAC gets it. | ||
| The world's media is sitting there going, what does he say? | ||
| The CPAC gets it. | ||
| Matt, how do people get tickets? | ||
| Because we want a big showing of the War of Impossibles. | ||
| We're going to be down there in the flesh, and the entire team's going to be there. | ||
| You get to meet everybody. | ||
| It's the 4th to the 6th of August. | ||
| Yeah, August 4-6, go to conservative.org. | ||
| I want to break a little more news besides the fact that Steve Bannon's War Room is going to be there for every day of CPAC Texas, but also our theme, Fire Pelosi, Save America. | ||
| It doesn't get much clearer than that, does it Steve? | ||
| Wow! | ||
| CPAC Texas. | ||
| Okay, one more time. | ||
| I want everybody in the audience today, later on the podcast, everybody go. | ||
| If you're in the area, if you're thinking of taking a trip, spend some time. | ||
| We're going to be hanging out with everybody. | ||
| It's going to be very special. | ||
| Where do they go again, Matt, to get tickets? | ||
| Go to conservative.org and you can get every kind of ticket. | ||
| Students are cheap, cheap, cheap. | ||
| We've got lots of college and high school kids. | ||
| that go. We got a lot of big announcements coming. We've already announced, you know, Glenn Beck's going to be there, Sean Hannity's going to be there, Jim Jordan's going to be there, Byron Donalds is going to be there, Lauren Boebert's going to be there. You know how this goes, Steve. It's going to be a who's who of everybody you want to hear from. | ||
| Well, this is Florida and now Texas. | ||
| CPAC Texas. | ||
| Was it Fire Pelosi, Save America? | ||
| Is that our theme? | ||
| Yeah, what do you think? | ||
| Does that meet with your approval? | ||
| It rings. | ||
| It resonates. | ||
| Matt, thank you so much. | ||
| We're going to get everybody to go to the site today and get tickets. | ||
| Really appreciate it. | ||
| Matt Schlapp, head of American Conservatives Union. | ||
| CPAC Texas. | ||
| We're going to be there. | ||
| I want a big turn at everybody. | ||
| I want a meet and greet. | ||
| Okay, taking the show on the road. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| The great Ben Berquam talking about how you save education in this nation with the Moms of America. | ||
| next. A portion of your recent op-ed entitled Christian nationalism is dangerous to Christians. | ||
| You write in part this, we cannot allow our faith to continue to be hijacked by white supremacists covered in religious language. | ||
| For the sake of our faith and our democracy, we must denounce Christian nationalism and reclaim the faith. | ||
| That values and affirms the human dignity of all people, including our own. | ||
| So, if you could maybe develop upon that point, how is the faith, the Christian faith, being sort of hijacked? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, that's right. | |
| Our entire faith is about the care of vulnerable people and pushing back on those who would oppress others. | ||
| And unfortunately, what's happened in America is Christianity has long been used to justify The oppression of others. | ||
| It was used to justify slavery. | ||
| It was used to justify Jim Crow. | ||
| Now it's being used to justify blocking women from the reproductive care, abortion care that they need to raise healthy families. | ||
| And that is not my faith. | ||
| The majorities of religious people In this country, support a woman's access to abortion care because we believe in her moral agency. | ||
| We believe that she has the spiritual capacity to make these complex and important decisions for her own family. | ||
| And so as Christians, particularly as a white Christian in this country, where Christianity has been used to justify terrible racial oppression, we need as Christians to speak more loudly about what our faith, that our faith calls us to resist the pharaohs, the Egyptian kings, the Roman Caesars of our day. | ||
| And so we are organizing now to push back on that and to really reclaim our faith for justice and for compassion. | ||
| Reverend Jones, in your recent op-ed for The Hill, you write in part, quote, as ministers and heads of a seminary that is training the next generation of progressive faith leaders. | ||
| We are outraged by this blasphemous use of the Bible as a tool of hatred and division and not as one of unity and love. | ||
| And we know it is up to faith leaders from all major religious traditions, both in the U.S. | ||
| and abroad, to fight against those twisting the Word of God to justify bigotry, hatred, and discrimination. | ||
| Right-wing religious leaders profess that the Bible supports these acts of hatred and division, but they ignore the lesson core to all of the major faiths. | ||
| Love a fellow human as you would yourself. | ||
| Okay, I want to go to Texas now, the Texas Homeschool Convention 2022. | ||
| Real America's Voice, indefatigable, Ben Berquam. | ||
| Ben, what is going on at the Homeschool Convention? | ||
| What is it? | ||
| I know we got some leaders down there, so take it away, sir. | ||
| Hey Steve, I gotta start by saying that is absolute dog crap, that clip you just played. | ||
| This is one of the biggest problems in church right now, is the takeover of the leftists. | ||
| Jesus called those synagogues of Satan, and that's exactly what that guy was pushing for. | ||
| It's time for the real church to rise up for God's principles. | ||
| Just read the Bible. | ||
| Everybody out there, just read Romans 1. | ||
| Clear direction. | ||
| And that's partly why we're here, talking to moms, talking to folks that believe in the Bible, that don't want to have that garbage pushed down their throats, the propaganda in public schools. | ||
| Before we get to Mary Jo, who is the organizer of this event, though, I just want to say I'm here with my wife, Villy. | ||
| You guys know her from a year ago. | ||
| We had the golf cart accident, broke her pelvis, almost died, and the roll room posse came alongside. | ||
| And since then, we've actually done our first year of homeschooling. | ||
| It's been incredible. | ||
| We're at the 2022 Texas Homeschool Convention now. | ||
| And Villy, I know she loves being on camera. | ||
| Just your experience and what would you say to other homeschool moms? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Go to events like this because you'll connect with so many people and have so many tools and encouragement to keep on going. | |
| And what would you say to the War Room Posse? | ||
| I know we wrote our thank you letters. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you everyone for the prayers and support. | |
| I wouldn't have been able to, without God and your prayers and support, I wouldn't be as healed as I am and as good as I am. | ||
| So thank you all for all of it. | ||
| I'm blessed. | ||
| By the way, if you haven't done homeschooling, the first day that I came home and they were doing homeschooling, I went in the room and they were praying and doing the Pledge of Allegiance. | ||
| I started crying. | ||
| I'm like, this is what it's supposed to be about. | ||
| Mary Jo Dean, you are the organizer of great homeschool conventions. | ||
| You do five across America. | ||
| For our audience out there, maybe that's considering it, seeing the direction of public education, what would you tell them? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm telling you, homeschool works. | |
| We enjoy it. | ||
| It has worked for our family. | ||
| It's worked for many, many families. | ||
| And, you know, again, listening to this segment right before, I think that we need to be responsible for our children's values and not put them in a classroom where they're getting values that we don't agree with. | ||
| And we're seeing that all across America. | ||
| CRT, this whole trans movement, all of it being forced onto our kids. | ||
| The difference between that, I mean, we've sat through a couple sessions and it's like, ah, it's such a breath of fresh air. | ||
| You don't get any of that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| The convention is to encourage and equip parents to homeschool their children. | ||
| One of the things, like I was talking with a mom, and she goes, sometimes I just get so discouraged, and I think the main thing is that you have a statement of faith. | ||
| Why are you doing what you're doing? | ||
| For my husband and I, it was, we wanted our children to be influenced by us, to have our standards, to have our beliefs, and so forth, and not be swayed by You know, a teacher or their quote, peers. | ||
| So it's worked really well with our family and we just feel like homeschool parents are just the salt of the earth and we're just so grateful that people are pulling their kids out of public school and homeschooling them. | ||
| So, you know, we have, I think the future will be a lot brighter with homeschool kids. | ||
| I've seen it. | ||
| I've experienced it. | ||
| My children are grown and gone. | ||
| I homeschooled for 18 years and I just, it just works. | ||
| So for people that want to get involved, you've got five of them, the largest one across America. | ||
| You've got five of them. | ||
| What states? | ||
| We've got 1,600 families here. | ||
| How can people get in touch with you and come to one of these events? | ||
