...going in the country today, only 21% say things are going well. | |
| I want to put that in some historical context for you. | ||
| 21% is the low point. | ||
| This goes back, in fact, off this chart, Jake. | ||
| You have to go back to 2009 to find a time when the American electorate was this dissatisfied with the way things were going in the country. | ||
| And when we ask specifically about economic conditions and we say, can you rate the economic conditions today, look at this number. | ||
| 82% of respondents in this poll say economic conditions in America are poor. | ||
| Only 18% say that economic conditions are good. | ||
| I think in both ways, Jared, because when the gas prices go up, it's got nothing to do with the president. | ||
| When we see some decline, you want him to get the credit. | ||
| Look, I think that there's no both way thinking here at all. | ||
| We really want to base our treatment and to affirm and to support and empower these youth not to limit their participation in activities and sports and even limit their ability to get gender affirmation treatment in their state. | ||
| Looking back over the last 70 years, over the post-World War II period, in my view, Steve Bannon was the single most dangerous American who came our way. | ||
| 老百姓 鬧班農! 老百姓 鬧班農! | ||
| 老百姓 鬧班農! 老百姓 鬧班農! | ||
| It was a long day for jury selection. | ||
| I really want to thank all the jurors for being, uh, being truthful and blunt. | ||
| I thought that was great. | ||
| And we look forward to tomorrow. | ||
| We're coming back and we get into it tomorrow. | ||
| So we're looking forward. | ||
| And, uh, I think we would have had better and more productive if we've been on Capitol Hill in front of open mics addressing the nation with exactly all this nonsense, this show trial they've been putting up on Capitol Hill. It's nothing but a show trial. It's time they start having other witnesses that give other testimony other than what they've been putting up. So we'll see you here tomorrow morning. I want to thank the judge, thank you everybody. | ||
| Steve Bannon. Bro says he's gonna go medieval. | ||
| What's that mean? | ||
| He didn't even bring a catapult to court yesterday. | ||
| And even his defenses aren't holding up. | ||
| I mean, I think this one is a Trump judge in there. | ||
| I think this one's pretty open and shut, isn't it? | ||
| What does it say about us, though, Joe, that Steve Bannon, with his three shirts and his heavy sport coat and his failure to shave every other day, whatever, he is suddenly on everyone's TV screen when he's on nobody's mind, really. | ||
| He is a jackal. | ||
| Uh, and he has used his position to promote himself. | ||
| He comes on as this tough guy, this television tough guy, this talk radio tough guy. | ||
| And he has basically flaunted the laws of the country and thinks his excuse is because he is, you know, coming off, trying to come off as someone who is critical. | ||
| To the future of the Republic. | ||
| I mean, it's preposterous. | ||
| We've made this guy into a national, nationally recognized, sort of nationally recognized, but the jurors polled yesterday had no idea who he was, which is really the essence of the case. | ||
| A nobody on trial for flouting the law. | ||
| The jackal is on the loose, Capitol Hill, over at the Freddie Mann federal courthouse, but the jackal is out! | ||
| Jack Posobiec is in guest hosting while the jackal himself, the most dangerous man in America, Stephen K. Bannon, is enduring day two of his show trial in the Biden regime. | ||
| Today is 19 July, year of our Lord 2022. | ||
| What's going on? | ||
| We've got so much coming up today. | ||
| Massive show and so much going on around the world. | ||
| We're going to have Harnwell up next to talk about it. | ||
| But we have to go through the list. | ||
| Pelosi, she is on her way making a trip to Taiwan while the CCP is demanding an end to U.S. | ||
| arms sales to the island nation. | ||
| Next, Nikki Haley and Mike Pence both making noises hinting at potential 2024 runs. | ||
| I think that's going to go over like a lead balloon. | ||
| Next, a European heat wave we're seeing concurrently with a European Energy crisis. | ||
| Charges dropped on the Colbert 9, of course, right? | ||
| Those people, the Stephen Colbert crew, arrested for what? | ||
| Parading and trespassing in the U.S. | ||
| Capitol. | ||
| No charges will be filed against them. | ||
| Charges dropped by the Biden Department of Justice. | ||
| Just so you know that Merrick Garland, our next guest, Mike Davis, I'm sure can have some comments about that. | ||
| Merrick Garland does not care to have the appearance of fairness. | ||
| He only wants Revenge. | ||
| Revenge, I believe, for being blocked from being on the Supreme Court. | ||
| Next, we've also got Vladimir Putin arriving in Tehran as the new axis of control of the world island solidifies itself. | ||
| And we've got so much more coming up today, but I wanted, and we just heard, we just heard from Stephen K. Bannon right there, that was yesterday, outside the courtroom. | ||
| I actually went, so after hosting this show and then hosting Human Events Daily, my own podcast, Podcast People Don't Like Podcasts, We went over to the courtroom. | ||
| I spent about the last three hours, right, sitting in the court with Steve during jury selection yesterday. | ||
| And juror after juror, it was biased. | ||
| And actually MSNBC had this completely wrong when they said the jurors didn't know who he was. | ||
| No, it's the opposite. | ||
| They knew exactly who he was, and you had bias after bias after bias. | ||
| They had prejudged him because of his name, Steve Bannon, because he was a conservative, because he was affiliated with President Trump, because he was associated with January 6th. | ||
| You had one guy in there coming up saying, I get the notifications for January 6th. | ||
| I get them on my phone. | ||
| I follow everything. | ||
| I follow the committees. | ||
| I follow the hearings. | ||
| I follow it all. | ||
| I follow every little piece of this. | ||
| And the judge saying, well, you know that actually it doesn't have to do with the case. | ||
| This is about a subpoena. | ||
| This is about some of the other You know, situations that were around the committee, not the actual day itself. | ||
| And this guy just completely could not separate. | ||
| His opinions about what happened that day versus what actually the trial was about. | ||
| And this is exactly what Richard Barris told us yesterday, People's Pundit, when he talked about the illusory truth effect, right? | ||
| Strong bias and the high illusory truth effect. | ||
| But I want to bring in now Mike Davis, who is the founder and president of the Article 3 Project himself. | ||
| A veteran of many Senate committees and as well as Supreme Court confirmations understands the process like none other. | ||
| Mike Davis, what are your thoughts on, as we saw, the jury selection? | ||
| We got the bias that we saw that we were going to have. | ||
| Now, I believe, the last I saw, is that opening statements are set to get underway right down the street in the Prettyman Federal Courthouse. | ||
| Well, Steve Bannon should not even be there in the first place. | ||
| He's there because the Biden Justice Department is on a witch hunt. | ||
| They want to go after Trump people. | ||
| Bannon is one of the leaders of the Trump movement. | ||
| President Trump asserted executive privilege. | ||
| And Steve Bannon audited that, as he should have. | ||
| This is a legal issue that should have been resolved through the civil courts. | ||
| This should not be in criminal court right now. | ||
| There is a legal dispute whether President Trump can maintain executive privilege. | ||
| While President Biden purports to waive it, there's a legal dispute whether executive privilege applies to former presidential White House aides versus presidential advisors on the outside. | ||
| These are legal issues. | ||
| We've had executive privilege going back to George Washington, and we talked about this yesterday, Jack, the point of executive privilege. | ||
| This is a critical constitutional issue with executive privilege. It's about the separation of powers. It gives the president, the executive for the country, the power to get, the ability to get candidate advice from a wide variety of advisors and not worry that another branch of government is going to meddle in that advice and have a chilling effect on people giving candidate advice to the president. That is exactly what is... Well, actually, Mike, I've got a breaking update | ||
| now, so I'm... | ||
| Some of the reporters that I'm following, Epoch Times has some folks in there. | ||
| Joe Nierman from LawTube is there, Viva Frye, he's going to be doing a daily recap for Post Millennial. | ||
| But one of the breaking updates I have on this is apparently the prosecution, and we thought that this had already been decided. | ||
| Apparently the prosecution has started to say that they will potentially allow evidence of the argument regarding executive privilege in the case, even though we were told originally that that was a defense that would not be available to Steve. | ||
| Of course, it was his entire defense, the reliance of counsel, was something else he brought up. | ||
| So that's the latest that we're getting, that apparently the prosecution, even though this would seem beneficial to the defendant in this case, will allow potentially some discussion of this in front of the jury. | ||
| Well, I mean, then Steve Bannon's attorney should move for a mistrial because the whole point, Steve Bannon's entire argument was, look, whether you think this executive privilege argument is legally right or wrong, I am bound by it because I work for President Trump. | ||
| He asserted it. | ||
| I am bound by it. | ||
| The current president and the former president need to work this out. | ||
| They need to try to resolve this. | ||
| If they can't resolve this, they need to go to civil litigation and get a ruling from a judge. | ||
| You can tell me, Steve Bannon, what I'm supposed to do. | ||
| Steve Bannon's not a legal expert here. | ||
| He's not an expert on executive privilege. | ||
| You put him in this position where Trump has asserted executive privilege, and then Steve Bannon's now being charged with obstruction of Congress for honoring this. | ||
| This is nonsense. | ||
| Then this judge said that Steve Bannon couldn't even raise executive privilege as a defense, nor could he raise reliance on counsel as a defense, and now the government wants to try to put this in the case at the last minute when Steve can't call the appropriate witnesses at his trial today to argue these cases. | ||
| That's just not fair. | ||
| That violates due process. | ||
| Right, because of course, if, and again, we're dealing with breaking news directly from the courtroom, and that's what we do here on War Room, because we don't take days off. | ||
| There's no crying in the War Room. | ||
| We put the shoulder to the wheel and we do hard things. | ||
| I think I got all the catchphrases in one sentence there. | ||
| But the idea is that we are going to be covering this breaking news while we're here in the War Room to understand so that folks back home can know the play-by-play. | ||
| Because, and Mike, to your question, And your argument there, obviously, if they knew that these lines of defense would actually, in fact, be available to Steve, then he would have prepared a defense which included witnesses, I'm sure would include various documents, emails that they want to prepare for the jury, perhaps even some expert witnesses, maybe yourself, or someone who is an expert on executive privilege to come in and explain it to the jury the way that you just did. | ||
| But now, if they're trying to introduce it at the last minute, it doesn't provide them the time to actually prepare a case. | ||
| And they want to do it through hearsay evidence. | ||
| They want to do it from a letter from Chairman Thompson on the January 6th Kangaroo Commission. | ||
| Instead of having him come in and testify, they want to do it essentially by a drive-by shooting, where we're going to selectively use the evidence we want and deny Steve Bannon the ability to have the evidence that he needs to present his defense. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So I see what they wanted. | ||
| So why can't they just bring Thompson in? | ||
| Why won't they bring any members of the actual committee in the people who signed off in the subpoena? | ||
| Why aren't we seeing that? | ||
| Well, uh, they could try. | ||
| Uh, the, the problem is, is there's a speech and debate clause. | ||
| So the, the president has executive privilege apparently until Trump comes along and then the Democrats want to just get rid of 250 years of executive privilege for the presidents. | ||
| The Congress has speech and debate clause privilege where they can't be called to testify to what they do in Congress generally. | ||
| So both branches have it or they're supposed to have it unless of course you're Steve Bannon and Donald Trump and then they want to throw out all of that history because they want to get Trump. | ||
| So essentially, speech and debate clause means a form of legislative privilege, right? | ||
| So executive privilege is taken away when you're Stephen K. Bannon or Donald Trump, but this, the idea of legislative privilege is being preserved for the members of the committee, which, and I believe, and we were talking about this yesterday, the, the actual constitution of the committee, right? | ||
| The way that it's been, that it was formed isn't actually in keeping with the house rules. | ||
| There's no, for example, obviously we're seeing there's no cross-examination of any of the witnesses. | ||
| And Mike, I also have to tell you, as I was sitting in the back of the Prediman courtroom yesterday, this was in the Centennial courtroom. | ||
| It's a beautiful courtroom, ornate, very statuesque everywhere. | ||
| I don't believe the actual trial is going to be held in there, that was just for jury selection. | ||
| Juror after juror, I would say almost 90% of them said they knew about the case, they knew about the committee, they had been watching the hearings, and they knew exactly who Steve Bannon was. | ||
| Yeah, and they're at least 95% Democrat, and the 5% of the non-Democrats are Trump-deranged rhinos. | ||
| So good luck to Steve Bannon with this D.C. | ||
| jury and the uniparty that runs the D.C. | ||
| court system. | ||
| He's clearly set up to be found guilty. | ||
| There's no question about it. | ||
| The issue's going to be on appeal, whether the court Well, I think that's right. | ||
| I've spoken to other lawyers who agree with you on that. | ||
| That really does come down to this executive privilege question. | ||
| So we're going to follow this story throughout the day as it goes, but I want to go next to Ben Harnwell after the break. | ||
| Mike, where can people go to follow you, follow the Article 3 project and all of your work? | ||
| Thank you, Jack. | ||
| It's articlethreeproject.org, articlethreeproject.org, and it's at articlethreeproject, at number, at articlethreeproject. | ||
| And my personal, when I'm not kicked off of Twitter, is M-R-D-D-M-I-A. | ||
| That's Twitter and getter, M-R-D-D-M-I-A. | ||
| And thank you for what you're doing, Jack, to defend Steve on this. | ||
| God bless. | ||
| Well, I'm just trying to call balls and strikes. | ||
| As we say, everyone deserves a fair trial, even if you are a jackal like Stephen K. Bannon is. | ||
| Coming up next, Ben Harnwell going to Rome. | ||
| We'll see what's going on as the heat wave is heating up in Europe. | ||

|
Boom. | |
| the world or through Hong Kong. We will fight till the earth gone. We rejoice when there is no more. Let's take control. | ||
| Pandemic with Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| War Room. | ||
| Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| All right, Jack Posobiec, host of Human Events Daily, a podcast for people who don't like podcasts, sitting in while the jackal, right, as MSNBC calls him, the jackal, is over there in the Prettyman federal courtroom, federal courthouse, on trial, where the latest that we're seeing now, Bannon's lawyer, Schoen, is now contending, I'm getting this from Josh Gerstein's Politico feed, Given the judge's ruling in the law, he isn't sure if he wants the jury to know about executive privilege issue as discussed in the letters. | ||
| I don't want to appear to the jury to be backdooring it, right? | ||
| Because they want to have a full defense. | ||
| They took the defense away and now the prosecution is trying to bring it back in. | ||
| The lawyers are saying we want to argue this on appeal. | ||
| This entire thing is a travesty. | ||
| It's been a show trial from the start because he refused to speak to Nancy Pelosi's star chamber. | ||
| He thumbed his nose and they're going at him. | ||
| That's the signal, not the noise. | ||
| But speaking of signal, not noise, I want to go to Rome. | ||
| And I want to bring in Ben Harnwell. | ||
| Now, Ben, you know, we were hosting yesterday. | ||
| We had so many domestic issues that we had to get into, so many crises here inside the United States that we didn't even have time for the crises outside the United States. | ||
| And that's why I wanted to bring Ben Harnwell on, because as I'm following these foreign capital markets, as I'm following what's going on in the South China Sea, the East China Sea, Nancy Pelosi potentially going to Taiwan, Vladimir Putin just landed in Tehran. | ||
| He's visiting with the Iranians. | ||
| They're putting together their axis of the world island, right? | ||
| Now, we're also seeing on the continent of Europe and the UK as well, we're seeing a heat wave at the exact same time, a heat wave at the same time as an energy crisis. | ||
| This is going to lead to riots. | ||
| This is how governments fall. | ||
| We just saw that in Italy. | ||
| Ben Harwell, what do you see from your seat? | ||
| Well, you know, Jack, good morning to you. | ||
| Something that we've been talking about here on the wall and from the very beginning, without entering into the debate as to whether it's not incompetence on behalf of our sociopathic overlords, it's actually all planned out. | ||
| Without touching that, one thing we have been saying is that out of the consequences of these ill-thought-out actions will be further power grabs for the international bureaucracy. | ||
| The first thing I'm going to go to today is this astonishing story, really, that was reported in the Financial Times and the International Monetary Fund, the IMF, has said If we don't want the Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia and Italy to have a 5% contraction by the end of the year, | ||
| the 27 EU member states must pool their reserves of liquid natural gas. | ||
| Now, the argument that the IMF uses hasn't been, that is to say, pulling these strategic, national strategic reserves, hasn't been explained. | ||
| It's just asserted that giving the European Union control over what is a member state prerogative will somehow avoid the calamity that's coming. | ||
| But it's absolutely clear that, as you were saying, the calamity is coming and our overlords Intend, if nothing else, to expand their powers on the back of it. | ||
| But Jack, you know that we're not dealing with economics here. | ||
| When the IMF is using words like hoarding, they're accusing member states of hoarding LNG. | ||
| Now, the last time I remember that term being used so inappropriately was under FDR when he made the private ownership of gold. | ||
| This is in the land of the free. | ||
| He made the private ownership of gold illegal. | ||
| This is as a consequence of his own disastrous economic policies. | ||
| People obviously wanted to put their wealth in something that might store value. | ||
| And that's what his National Recovery Administration called it. | ||
| They called it the hoarding of gold. | ||
| And they made it illegal. | ||
| And the Supreme Court actually overturned it. | ||
| And this was when FDR said, look, I think this was the first time the concept of court packing was presented. | ||
| He basically said, unless you approve this, I'll just pack as many justices as I need. | ||
| Massive constitutional overreach on behalf of the federal government. | ||
| But here, the European Union's own federal government, the European Commission, is walking down exactly the same path, backed up here by the European Commissioner and now President Head of the IMF. | ||
| And this is the point that we need to be aware of constantly, Jack. | ||
| The consequences of our globalist elites are there to see. | ||
| Now they are going, and we have been foreseeing them right from the beginning, and they are going to say when we get to this point, well look, this is the law of unintended consequences. | ||
| Well, those consequences may or may not be unintended, but there's no way at all that you can make the argument that they're not foreseeable. | ||
| Now, Just digging down ever so slightly. | ||
| Go ahead. | ||
| No, Ben, you know, very early on, on, I think it was maybe the day after, um, the, the war in Ukraine kicked off February 24th, you know, 24 or 25 here in this program. | ||
| And I said that Greta Thunberg is not the person that Europe should have listened to. | ||
| They should have listened to the actual energy experts and this wouldn't have happened. | ||
| And then Media Matters runs the headline saying, Jack Posobiec blames Greta Thunberg for Putin's invasion of Ukraine. | ||
| No, no. | ||
| What I'm saying is, these green policies have become an albatross around the necks of the global elites. | ||
| And they're putting those albatrosses, by the way, on their own people. | ||
| They're not the ones who have to pay these costs. | ||
| They can catch the brunt of it, right? | ||
| They're the ones who benefited from the inflation. | ||
| They're currently benefiting from the inflation. | ||
| It's everybody else. | ||
| It's all of you. | ||
| It's the global Lao-Beijing, right? | ||
| It's the global deplorables. | ||
| It's all the people who have to actually pay for these things. | ||
| You have the Biden administration trying to take a victory lap because gas came down like 25, 50 cents or something. | ||
| When it's still $2 higher than it should be, right? | ||
| They're not pointing out that it's their concurrent, their green policies that kick this off, that put them at the behest of this. | ||
| And then they got to the point where they had already built the two Nord Stream 2 pipelines to Germany and then decided to essentially have them cut off, right? | ||
| So now I guess, Ben, and this is a question for you, this is the calculus for for Germany, but also the EU in general. At some point, those are, they're going, what I saw, Germany's headed down to Azerbaijan right now. They're going to Azerbaijan to try to get the liquid natural gas from there. They have no viable means for retrieving any more of this because the American natural gas is too expensive. Thanks to Biden. | ||
| Biden's not helping the output on that. | ||
| Then they're going to Azerbaijan, maybe to get a little bit. | ||
| The GCC just told them to, to essentially to shove it, right? | ||
| They're not giving them anything. | ||
| Qatar's not giving them anything. | ||
| And meanwhile, the calculus becomes at some point, at some point, are they going to be able to hold out or do they have to go back to Vladimir Putin, hat in hand, and say, please, sir, turn the gas back on? | ||
| Well, that I think is the question that is there in the back of everything that we've been saying here. | ||
| But for that question to be answered, Jack, it needs to be raised. | ||
| It needs to be posed. | ||
| People need to say, look, we need to do a cost-benefit analysis on this. | ||
| And each government, as I think you and Steve have been saying for the past five months, each government, it's appropriate and necessary for each government to go to its own people and say, these will be the costs. | ||
| These will be the benefits. | ||
| This is where we calculate our national interest to be violated, if a country can make that argument. | ||
| I don't think the United States can make that argument. | ||
| Perhaps some Eastern European countries, however, may be able to make that argument, but the United States certainly can't make the argument that it has. | ||
| vital strategic interests that require defending in the war. | ||
| And then the people, the governments of the peoples, can make a decision on a one-by-one basis as to how much support it wants to give Ukraine, bearing in mind the consequences that are going to arise out of that. | ||
| But the thing is, is that governments have not been doing that. | ||
| We had the cheerleading and the pom-poms in the first month, pretending, you know, defending They never defined our values. | ||
| And then that's basically been it. | ||
| Those platitudes about freedom and democracy have gone on. | ||
| Whereas the costs of this war, we've seen some of them with the food shortages and the fuel price hikes. | ||
| But we haven't even really begun to see, Jack, the actual consequences of the present embargo policy and Vladimir Putin's response to our embargo policy. | ||
| And we won't see those consequences in full until the winter, when we go from one weather extreme to the next. | ||
| But you're absolutely right, the arguments have not been made. | ||
| Oh, you've got Deutsche Bank now is coming out saying that they think the Germans are going to have to start chopping wood again for winter. | ||
| Of course, the Greenies are going to freak out about that. | ||
| But that's the only way, or at least partially part of the way, that they are going to be able to heat their homes this winter. | ||
| That if you cut off both Nord Stream pipelines, you don't have any access to this liquid natural gas, you're going to have to come up with some way to heat your homes. | ||
| So sure, let's go back to the most dangerous way possible, right? | ||
| Yeah, well, you know, I don't want to dwell on the wood chopping thing only because I'm sure Greta is listening. | ||
| And if we start talking about all the trees that are going to fall down, those tears... She'll come for you. | ||
| She'll come for you. | ||
| Those hot streaming tears will run down those little cherubic Marxist cheeks. | ||
| And obviously, we want to avoid that. | ||
| I'll finish with this point, Jack. | ||
| Germany is the EU's most powerful, most advanced economy, right? | ||
| And our sociopathic elites, our sociopathic overlords have been so incompetent with the present policy of containment and response to the Putin war. | ||
| Citizens of this most advanced country have now been obliged to return to the 1850s for their domestic energy needs, right? | ||
| And we've only just started. | ||
| That's how bad this is going to get. | ||
| They had no plan for this anyway whatsoever. | ||
| Or, as you contend, did they have a plan all along? | ||
| And was that plan called the Great Reset? | ||
| I'm going to be dropping a documentary on the Great Reset very soon, here in just a couple of weeks. | ||
| Coming up next, we have... Thank you so much, Ben. | ||
| We have a very special guest making a surprise return to the War Room. | ||
| Stay tuned. | ||

Crack, yeah. | |
| So I've got a foundation. | ||
| You know, I stopped doing cocaine before they invented crack. | ||
| It's two different drugs. | ||
| Cocaine is way different than crack. | ||
| Yeah, I know. | ||
| Because you change the molecular structure or whatever. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And my foundation is actually going to help the unreachable, you know, to reach out. | ||
| So you get the addicts and so on to make your pillows. | ||
| Yeah, we have the ones that, you know, we got addicts. | ||
| We'll hire, you know, we hire people to help them, too, to give them jobs and to get them, you know, back on their feet. | ||
| And everyone in my company has a pillow, so they believe in the product, they believe where we're going. | ||
| What a great story. | ||
| Yeah, and now we're going to buy up... I want to start buying the cotton fields because China's buying our cotton fields and taking our cotton from us. | ||
| That's Mike Lindell, ten years ago. | ||
| Ten years ago. | ||
| talking about China, warning us about China and the CCP, buying up our farmland, specifically talking about our cotton fields. | ||

| Go to the War Room splash page, all those so many great deals. | ||
| A lot of them are flash sales, by the way, so when you go to the page, you know those sales are not going to last forever. | ||
| And you can check it, I think it's once a week, they change, sometimes it's 24 hours. | ||
| You gotta be on the splash page, mypillow.com slash war room. | ||
| But I wanted to bring now on a very special guest to the war room, and that is none other than Mr. Raheem Kassam, the editor in chief of the National Pulse. | ||
| Now, Mr. Kassam, you have been doing some reporting into Dr. Birx, and I wanted to break that down for everybody here. | ||
| Yeah, Jack, thank you for having me this morning. | ||
| I'm just stunned, you know, that Steve's taking another day off. | ||
| You know, we wouldn't have been allowed days off for trials. | ||
| He's going soft. | ||
| Days off? | ||
| I mean, come on. | ||
| Um, Jack, I think this... In fact, actually, now that you mention it, by the way, um, we do actually have breaking on that, that, um, the... You know you're just like Steve. | ||
| Yeah, I know, right? | ||
| Um, wait, wait, wait, hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up. | ||
| Has requested a one-month extension in the trial. | ||
| They've just requested a continuance in the trial. | ||
| This is breaking from the courtroom from Epoch Times. | ||
| requested an extension starting stating that this letter that they're trying to introduce from Jan 6 from the Jan 6 committee which discusses executive privilege gives them the opportunity to bring up this entire line of defense which also would get into mens rea so potentially potentially if this is so ordered we could be seeing a one month continuance starting today we'll see yep i mean can they talk about it | ||
| Can they not talk about it? | ||
| I lose the logic here of this whole situation, to be honest with you. | ||
| And frankly, this is the same thing we're seeing across government right now. | ||
| It's the same thing we're seeing from Debbie Birx also. | ||
| Remember people? | ||
| Debbie Birx was that one, bescarved, standing astraddle the podium. | ||
| You know, the voice of reason. | ||
| People didn't like Fauci, they put Birx up. | ||
| And Deborah Birx has been on a little book promo tour in the last couple of months, really. | ||
| I mean, the book I don't think did particularly well, but people are just diving into it now, several months after it came out, and reading what's in there. | ||
| Two things really stood out, Jack. | ||
| Number one, I think what people need to know, and I think you've covered this before, was this whole, oh, we didn't know if the vaccines were actually going to work. | ||
| It was predicated on hope. | ||
| The things that they were telling the public were not Factual, scientific-based, evidence-based information. | ||
| As she has said in her own words, it was based and predicated on hope. | ||
| Well, the other part that we're now learning that has come out of the book, which I caught on this weekend, I saw somebody tweeting about it, so I went and purchased the book, if you can believe such a thing, you're welcome Debbie Burks, and went through and looked at it For myself the book is called silent invasion and in one particular part of this book something that stood out Glaring to me as as just a an utter disgrace if not if not illegal very illegal I want to quote for you quote | ||
| I devised a workaround for the governor's reports I was then writing. | ||
| Instead of including these recommendations in the common bulleted list, I'd include them in the pandemic summary and state-specific recommendations in the governor's reports, where they wouldn't be so obvious. | ||
| These weekly reports couldn't go out on Monday without administration approval. | ||
| Week by week, Mark's office began providing line-by-line edits. | ||
| After the heavily edited documents were returned to me, I'd reinsert what they had objected to, but place it in different locations. | ||
| I'd also reorder and restructure the bullet points so that the most salient, the points the administration, this is the Trump administration, Ejected to most, no longer fell at the start of the bullet points. | ||
| I shared these strategies with three members of the data team also writing these reports. | ||
| On Saturday and Sunday, report writing routines soon became write, submit, revise, hide, resubmit. | ||
| Fortunately, this strategic sleight of hand worked. | ||
| They never seemed to catch this subterfuge that left me to conclude that either they read the Finnish reports too quickly or they neglected to do the word search that would have revealed the language to which they objected. | ||
| That is, a senior government employee Who was brought in, on the recommendation by the way of a candidate in New Hampshire, Matt Mowers, brought in to the administration to do this work under President Trump, admitting, in her words, not my words, to subterfuge Jack. | ||
| So when she's talking about playing, playing hide the cheese here, right, what she's talking, these are strategic workarounds. | ||
| And what she's talking about essentially is she's putting these documents out, lying then to the administration and then putting out words that they had objected to on in terms of this. | ||
| So actually lying to the president and then essentially doing whatever she felt was right. | ||
| And we have, we have the clip by the way, and Cameron, if you can play it. | ||
| We have the clip of her testifying. | ||
| Yeah, let's play it. | ||
|

|
When the government told us that the vaccine they couldn't transmit it, was that a lie or was that a guess? | |
| Or is it the same answer? | ||
| I think it was hope. | ||
| That's a vaccine would work in that way. | ||
| And that's why I think scientists and public health leaders always have to be at the table. | ||
| So very clear what we know and what we don't know. | ||
| This is important for the country to know. | ||
| So when I asked the question, when the government told us that the vaccinated couldn't get it and I asked you if it was a guess or a lie, you said you don't know. | ||
| You said you think it was hope. | ||
| So what we do know is it wasn't the truth. | ||
| So they were either guessing, lying or hoping and communicating that information to the So she's admitting there, under oath, that they didn't have the data that the vaccines actually stopped transmission. | ||
| Nobody even says that anymore. | ||
| People say, oh, I'm so glad I'm vaccinated, even though I already caught COVID. | ||
| We also just heard, by the way, speaking of January 6th, committee chairman Bennie Thompson, we also just got the breaking But wait, there's more. | ||
| So of course, thoughts and prayers for our enemies. | ||
| And she lied. | ||
| Rahim, she lied not only to the president, she lied to the American people. | ||
| Tell me, what are the implications of this? | ||
| But wait, there's more. | ||
| In the same chapter in the book, Jack, she goes on to say, quote, this wasn't the only bit of subterfuge I had to engage in. | ||
| Immediately after the- Subterfuge. | ||
| Subterfuge, her words. | ||
| Immediately after the Atlas Influenced Revised CDC Testing Guidance went up in late August, I contacted Bob Redfield. | ||
| He confirmed my suspicions. | ||
| He had disagreed with the guidance, but felt pressured by HHS and the White House to post it. | ||
| Also, many on his staff in Atlanta were still comfortable prioritizing symptomatic individuals. | ||
| Even at this late point, eight months into the pandemic, many at both the White House and the CDC still refused to see that silent spread played a prominent role in viral spread, and that it started with social gatherings, especially amongst younger adults. | ||
| We had to find a way around them, recognizing the damage to public health, The Scott Atlas-driven testing guidance could do, and was doing, with testing rates dropping across the country, Bob and I agreed to quietly rewrite the guidance and post it to the CDC website. | ||
| We would not seek approval because we were both quite busy. | ||
| It might take a week or two, but we were committed to subverting the dangerous message that limiting testing was the right thing to do. | ||
| Another example of how Debbie Birx colluded with people outside of the administration who weren't in that line of decision-making to go around what the administration had decided on. | ||
| Remember, listen, For all you can say about everything that went right or wrong during the original pandemic response, this wasn't her call to make. | ||
| And when you circumvent the chain of command like that, it undermines the entire thing. | ||
| Deborah Birx, in my mind, needs to be hauled in front of a court and made to answer for her subterfuge against the government she was working for, which was elected by the people she claimed to be serving. | ||
| Jack, this isn't a small thing. | ||
| This isn't Debbie Birx was just messing around behind the scenes. | ||
| She was actively undermining the administration's thought-through response with lots of different experts who are weighing in on this, right? | ||
| But because it didn't go the way she or Bob Redfield or Anthony Fauci wanted, they decided, uh-uh, we ain't doing it that way, we'll do whatever the heck we please. | ||

|
Somebody has to be held accountable for this. | |
| Not just what she wanted. | ||
| What she hoped. | ||
| What she hoped. | ||
| It's what she hoped. | ||
| She hoped that things would go differently. | ||
| She didn't want to listen to Scott Atlas. | ||
| And Scott Atlas, of course, is the primary antagonist of her book. | ||
| He's the villain, right, for her. | ||
| Because she thinks, well, all these government, these leaders, they don't understand we need to shut down schools. | ||
| We need to shut down the economy. | ||
| We need to shut down everything. | ||
| We need to lie to people about the vaccines. | ||
| She lied to the American people about the vaccines limiting the spread. | ||
| That's count number one against her. | ||
| Then count number two, I would say, is the subterfuge, the undermining of the government itself. | ||
| And the other question I have, Rahim, do you think for a second that all of this was going on without the knowledge and, dare I say it, blessing of Dr. Anthony Fauci? | ||
| Oh, I'm certain that this was his approach from the get-go and that this was, you know, let's use the same terms as this. | ||
| this was a virus that went through the people who were working around this was contagion of insubordination that was going on in the White House at that time and hey listen again we can all look back roast into spectacles and say hey we could have done this we could have done that etc etc but here you have a highly paid celebrated by the way wildly celebrated government apparatchik like Debbie Burks admitting that she didn't think that what everybody else had | ||
| decided was the right thing to do so she went ahead well and something anyway This was tested everywhere all the time. | ||
| Nonsense. | ||
| We have to ask this question, and I think it's a serious question that needs to be asked now. | ||
| Who was the head of that task force? | ||
| It wasn't Burks and it wasn't Fauci. | ||
| It was Vice President Mike Pence. | ||
| Did Vice President Pence know that this was going on, that they were going behind the back of the administration and lying and committing what she calls strategic subterfuge during the lockdowns and the vaccine rollouts? | ||
| Jack, it's a really important point. | ||
| You make a really important point. | ||
| Because in that first paragraph that I read, she talks about Mark. | ||
| And I believe she's talking about Mark Shaw, right? | ||
| The Pence bag boy who's behind all of this stuff. | ||
| And it appears, at least if what she is saying is correct, that they didn't catch her subterfuge. | ||
| That somebody on Pence's team in Pence's world was dropping the ball and allowing these bureaucrats to just run ragged over everything the White House had put into place and every plan that the Trump administration had wanted. | ||
| So who is accountable there? | ||
| You're absolutely correct. | ||
| At the end of it, it comes back down to the head of the task force and that was Mike Pence. | ||
| So let's have Mike Pence on the stand as well. | ||
| Let's hear from him why this was allowed to go on. | ||
| Because this isn't the only thing in the book. | ||
| I haven't been through all of it yet. | ||
| We're still making our way through it. | ||
| You know there's more to come. | ||
| And by the way, if the audience wants to find out a lot more about it, thenationalpulse.com. | ||
| We're going to be reporting on so much more of it. | ||
| Raheem Kassam, always a pleasure. | ||
| Thank you very much, my friend, for joining us and breaking down this horrifying saga. | ||

Thanks, Jack. | |
| Has arrived. The new social media taking on big tech, protecting free speech. | ||
| I'm cancelling cancel culture. | ||
| Join the marketplace of ideas. | ||
| The platform for independent thought has arrived. | ||
| Superior technology. | ||
| No more selling your personal data. | ||
| No more censorship. | ||
| No more cancel culture. | ||
| Enough. | ||
| Getter has arrived. | ||
| It's time to say what you want, the way you want. | ||
| Download now. | ||
| All right, so when you go on Getter, by the way, when you follow Steve Bannon on Getter, that's really him, folks. | ||
| So if you want to send him a message, you want to get some words, I know he does read the mentions. | ||
| He does check that out. | ||
| So we have some breaking, a little bit of breaking from the courtroom. | ||
| There's been no answer yet. | ||
| The judge has returned. | ||
| No answer yet on whether or not the continuance will be happening. | ||
| It does look as though the trial will be on so far as today they are going to jury select. | ||
| They still haven't finished jury selection if I haven't made that clear. | ||
| But he's also saying that he's going to allow the letters from Benny Thompson and the J6 committee, but redact the portion about executive privilege. | ||
| So we'll see, but they will see, they will see the ban and objection and the fact that the committee replied that we still want testimony. | ||
| So a lot of stuff going on, the trial still happening, but I wanted to bring in now, Ned Ryan, he's the CEO of American Majority. | ||
| Ned is solely focused on the midterms, what's going on in these swing states, a little bit of a look ahead to 24. | ||
| Ned, what are you seeing? | ||
| Let's kind of walk people through these battlefield states as we are hurtling towards these midterms just after the end of summer here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, no, Jack, good to be with you. | |
| I think people need to look at a lot of the different dynamics. | ||
| Obviously, we're in July, just a few months away from the midterms, and it's shaping up very nicely for Republicans on a whole host of front. | ||
| You know, I refer people back to 2010. | ||
| On Biden's approval rating, he's around 38%, even 30% in some of these polls. | ||
| I would remind people Obama coming into the 2010 midterms was about 44.7% in his approval rating. | ||
| So that's a factor. | ||
| Obviously, inflation is going through the roof. | ||
| So you've got all these dynamics that are working Republicans' favor. | ||
| But I want people to think not only about the House, but I think we'll pick up at a low 35 seat jack, maybe up to 50, maybe even more, depends on how bad it gets with the Biden administration. | ||
| So I think the House is obviously going to go Republican in a definitive way. | ||
| I think the Senate's going to go Republican as well. | ||
| I'm looking at low in three to four seats. | ||
| I gotta tell you, there's a reason Democrats are spending millions in Colorado and Washington defending those incumbent senators, because they're looking at some of these dynamics as well and deeply concerned. | ||
| So if things really start to go poorly for Democrats going into the fall, it's going to be well above three Senate seats. | ||
| But I want people to also think about what's going on at the statewide level, not only the gubernatorial races, the state attorney general, secretary of state, but also legislative races, because in 2010, Republicans picked up 680 state legislative seats as well. | ||
| So I think we're looking at something that's going to be pretty epic that will be really in the same kind of epic stages as 2010 elections were for Republican. | ||
| Now, Ned, let's get into some of these specific key states. | ||
| Now, you mentioned specifically for the Senate a couple of races. | ||
| What are some of the ones that you're watching on that are potential pickups? | ||
| Because you're going to need flips if Republicans do want to take back the Senate. | ||
| What are they going to flip? | ||
| Oh, did we just lose Ned there? | ||
| Of course we'd lose him right when I go to ask the question, right? | ||
| You know, the wonders of live television. | ||
| Are we getting back there? | ||
| Hey, Ned, you got you? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm back. | |
| I'm back. | ||
| Hey, Ned, so I wanted to ask you, what are some of the key races in terms of swing states, battleground states that you're looking at specifically for the Senate? | ||
| Because we're going to need some flips if we want to see the Senate turnover. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, you've got to look at Georgia, obviously, with Herschel Walker and Warnock. | |
| The one I'm obviously fascinated by is Arizona. | ||
| Blake Masters is up by about 10 points in the polls with two weeks to go. | ||
| Two weeks from today, the Arizona primaries. | ||
| Blake is very well positioned to be the nominee. | ||
| And I've seen some internal numbers, Jack, that show Mark Kelly has very, he's underwater on his favorables. | ||
| In fact, 50% of the voters in Arizona think that he's too liberal, too extreme for the state. | ||
| So I'm pretty optimistic about Arizona and Blake Masters. | ||
| He's been doing a phenomenal campaign, Jack, for a first time. | ||
| Candidate has been doing all the things that he should be doing and raising the money and positioning himself. | ||
| I'm also looking at Nevada. | ||
| I think Adam Waxholt has a tremendous chance to take that seat. | ||
| So those are my three big pickup opportunities for Republicans. | ||
| But don't forget New Hampshire. | ||
| That's a late primary. | ||
| So we're not going to know for a little while who the Republican nominee will be. | ||
| And as I mentioned, you know, let's look at Colorado, Washington State, but don't sleep on Connecticut. | ||
| Jack, I've said this before. | ||
| I think that Joe Biden. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And the reason I'm saying that is look at Virginia and what happened last year. | ||
| I'm here in Virginia. | ||
| OK. | ||
|
unidentified
|
In a state that Biden won by 10 points in 2020. | |
| He lost. | ||
| Youngkin won by two. | ||
| So a 12 point flip. | ||
| That was that was it'll be a year. | ||
| Between the November Virginia elections and the midterms, I'm starting to think, and I know this sounds a little crazy, Jack, even when I say it, I think anything that Joe Biden won by 20 points or less in 2020 is actually going to be pretty competitive this fall. | ||
| So you're taking that math essentially, the 20 points or less, that's the drop from his approval ratings if he goes state by state, because he's underwater in every state, right? | ||
| I don't think there's any state where he's actually above water. | ||
| Maybe Delaware. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's one of the reasons I wanted to point out his approval ratings right at the beginning, because in a lot of these battleground states, his overall national approval might be mid-30s or 38, but you get to these battleground states like Georgia, like Arizona, like Nevada, he's even lower than that. | |
| I think in New Hampshire, he's only in the mid-30s. | ||
| You get into Ohio and other places, he's high-20s, low-30s. | ||
| You cannot escape an 800-pound albatross with concrete boots on your back if you're a Democrat. | ||
| And I think that's going to be a huge factor coming into the midterms, that Joe Biden's trajectory on approval ratings is not going up. | ||
| It's going to go down. | ||
| Inflation is not going to go down. | ||
| It's only going to continue to get worse. | ||
| All of these trends, these trajectories, as you get closer to the midterms, really start to harden. | ||
| And there's no good news for Democrats on any level on any of these trajectories. | ||
| Now we're at one minute. | ||
| Let us know, what's the American majority up to? | ||
| How can people follow you and follow on with your work? | ||
|

AmericanMajority.org. | |
| We train people how to run for state and local office. | ||
| So I'd encourage people to come out and join us, be a part of the trainings. | ||
| Last thing I want to say, Jack, is this. | ||
| Do not forget gubernatorial races in Michigan and Wisconsin. | ||
| In Michigan, the state legislature passed 39 election integrity bills. | ||
| They were all vetoed by Whitmer. | ||
| If we can win that gubernatorial seat in Michigan, we can see real election reform take place in some of these upper Rust Belt states. | ||
| That's a huge factor in 2022 that will impact 2024. | ||
| No, we had the Supreme Court decision already in Wisconsin on the drop boxes. | ||
| They're unconstitutional. | ||
| They were unconstitutional, by the way, at the time of the 2020 election. | ||
| Bob Spindel, the bobsled himself, told us all about that. | ||
| We need more reform in all of these states. | ||
| Like, for example, my own home state of Pennsylvania, where I don't know if Dr. Oz will be able to seal the deal with Josh Shapiro. | ||
| But coming up next, I'm going to go to Arizona and talk to, speaking of gubernatorial candidates, we've got one waiting in the wings. |
