The Financial Times in London, everybody on the City of London, Wall Street, the multinational corporations, they're the ones trying to shut me up. | |
They will never shut me up and never shut me down. | ||
We've essentially put the burden on the bailout on the working class and middle class. | ||
That's why nobody owns anything. | ||
Right. | ||
But the millennials today are nothing but 19th-century Russian serfs. | ||
They're better fed. | ||
They're better clothed. | ||
They're in better shape. | ||
They have more information than anybody in the world at any point in time. | ||
But they don't own anything. | ||
They're not going to own anything. | ||
OK? | ||
And they're 20%—if you mark in time against their parents, they're 20% behind in their income. | ||
And there's no pension plan in the future. | ||
They're all gig economy. | ||
We've literally destroyed the middle class in this country. | ||
OK. | ||
And both political parties—by the way, this is not about Republicans and Democrats. | ||
Right. | ||
This is the way the system works, and this is the way the system comes together. | ||
Good morning and welcome to the War Room. | ||
Today is July 21st in the year of our Lord 2022. | ||
I am Terry Schilling filling in for the great and amazing leader The legend, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
Thank you all for joining us. | ||
We have a packed show today. | ||
We are going to be talking about election integrity. | ||
We're going to be talking about the marriage votes in Congress. | ||
We're going to be talking about what's going on in Italy. | ||
We're going to start off with talking about what's going on in the court case with Steve Bannon. | ||
We've got Jack Posobiec here with us, joining us to start us off. | ||
Jack? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, Terry, that's Rachel. | |
Right, so I'm down here. | ||
I'm in Tampa, Florida. | ||
You can see behind me, this is the Tampa Convention Center. | ||
We are just now starting Turning Point, the SAS, the Student Action Summit we are getting. | ||
And right now, this morning, you can see behind me, and you'll probably see throughout the show as we go on, we'll be bringing in some people from Turning Point, from the event. | ||
This really is becoming. | ||
The center of the conservative universe this weekend. | ||
So tomorrow we have Governor Ron DeSantis, the great governor of this freedom state. | ||
Then Saturday, of course, right here in this very building, just through those doors, right up those steps behind me, President Donald J. Trump will be addressing the audience of thousands that are getting here. | ||
But as you can see, I also want to say a huge thank you out to Rumble. | ||
We are using their Rumble studio space right now to be able to do War Room, to be able to get it here. | ||
They set it up at the last minute for us. | ||
It's amazing. | ||
Thank you so much to them. | ||
But we have to get into the news because there's so much going on. | ||
Around the world, we're gonna talk to Ben Harnwell pretty soon here in Rome because we're seeing the resignation of Premier Draghi. | ||
We knew this was coming. | ||
We've also got situations, tanks on the streets of China, the CCP cracking down, the runs on the banks, the freezing of bank accounts. | ||
What else are we talking about? | ||
Nancy Pelosi talking about making a trip to Taiwan. | ||
Biden in the military trying to stop her from doing that, from standing with Taiwan At a time like this where we know what's coming down, the people of Taiwan, the people know that the CCP is bearing down on them. | ||
We've got a world on chaos. | ||
And President Biden, meanwhile, is out there telling the world that, oh, I've got cancer. | ||
Wait, do you have cancer or not? | ||
And then the White House has to walk out. | ||
He's feckless. | ||
He's ridiculous. | ||
They said he's talking about something else, right? | ||
You have a show president while Steve Bannon is on show trial. | ||
And that's why I want to bring in the great now Viva Frye, the lawyer who's been doing an excellent daily recap podcast. | ||
Shooting to the top of the charts on Apple, talking every day about what's going on in the trial. | ||
So yesterday we saw the prosecution arrested, but there were a lot of legal bombshells that were going on, the back and the forth. | ||
It's been a roller coaster. | ||
So Viva Frye, let's bring you in. | ||
Let's get some color of the recap that you've been doing for the Postmillennial. | ||
How's it going? | ||
I'm just trying to back up without pulling my computer down to the ground. | ||
The recap for the Postmillennial, put out an episode last night. | ||
Prosecution rested its case after two, I won't say stellar or qualify their testimony, after two witnesses. | ||
General counsel for the committee and the FBI investigator Stephen Hart. | ||
And I mean, look, they proved essentially what they need to prove in order to have a chance to succeed or in order to succeed on this claim. | ||
Bannon was served with the subpoena. | ||
He knew of the dates. | ||
There was some back and forth among the committee and Bannon's counsel. | ||
Bannon refused to comply, took to social media, made some public posts from his verified Getter account indicating that he was not complying. | ||
They referred the matter to the investigator. | ||
If you can imagine, there's nothing more serious to investigate at this point in time in American history and politics than Stephen Bannon's contempt of Congress. | ||
FBI investigator Stephen Hart checks out some social media posts, Is satisfied that the elements are there for an indictment and then they submit it for indictment to a grand jury. | ||
And that's the evidence. | ||
They close it. | ||
Some interesting developments related to some documentation that was allowed into evidence. | ||
The letter, the recent letter from Donald Trump purportedly waiving the privilege that was allegedly given to him. | ||
Well, this is huge. | ||
This is huge. | ||
So I want to drill this down for the audience back there. | ||
So we have a letter now from President Trump That they fought tooth and nail to not be presented in this case. | ||
They didn't want this letter in. | ||
They didn't want this evidence to be presented. | ||
This letter from President Trump, which specifically speaks to executive privilege and the case of Steve Bannon. | ||
Viva, what are the implications of the fact that this has been now allowed into the jury? | ||
What does it mean for the trial? | ||
And what are the implications of the use of executive privilege, this argument in general? | ||
Well, so my understanding is that, legally speaking, it's questionable whether or not it was bona fide legitimate executive privilege. | ||
That's a separate question at law. | ||
The question of fact is whether or not Bannon, as a matter of fact, thought that he had executive privilege, and thus he was not defying the congressional subpoena. | ||
He could not legally comply with it. | ||
So there's a question of law, which is for the judge, and then there's a question of fact, which goes to Steve Bannon's mens rea intent. | ||
The issue about this correspondence, among others, oddly enough it was the prosecution that opened this door for this correspondence and in particular this letter, because they, it was the day before yesterday, were saying that we want to admit correspondence between the committee and Bannon's attorneys, which referred to executive privilege, which the judge last week said Bannon can't raise as a defense, nor can he raise the legitimacy of the committee. | ||
So they opened the door for this. | ||
I don't know why, but on the one hand, I can look at this letter and say both sides are going to spin it the way they want, and if I'm prosecution, I don't mind this letter coming in because you know darn well that this letter, drafted by Trump in a way that would incense his adversaries and please his allies or his followers or his supporters, This letter says, yeah, I'm waiving the executive privilege and Bannon can testify. | ||
In the same letter, it refers to the committee as the unselect committee, basically a political witch hunt, a travesty of a committee. | ||
And you know that for a jury, which probably is going to be 95, if not 100% Democrat Hillary Clinton supporters, that's going to incense them. | ||
And it's going to incense him in a way that if I'm prosecution, I would raise that argument. | ||
Look at this. Even in waiving the executive privilege, he's still defiant to the end, thumbing his nose at the committee. But the implications? Bannon can now argue as a matter of fact that he thought he benefited from executive privilege, which goes to the mens rea of the criminal intent. | ||
You got actus reus having committed the act, mens rea having intended to commit the act. | ||
And so he could raise this argument now, at least in pleadings. | ||
It might confuse things, but I think this letter, in as much as it's fun to read and it's really, you know, awesome the way Trump finds ways to dig and jab at people who don't like him, it's a double-edged sword. | ||
It will be spun as more defiance, more thumbing your nose at the authority of the committee. | ||
unidentified
|
Viva, Viva, what's the timeline here? | |
What's the timeline here? | ||
What's the time frame? | ||
When can we expect this to be, you know, come to a conclusion? | ||
What's the longest it's going to go on? | ||
Well, I mean, so the prosecution has rested its case. | ||
They've presented their two witnesses. | ||
They think they've presented all the evidence they need for conviction beyond a reasonable doubt. | ||
And now it's going to be the defense. | ||
I don't know who Bannon had lined up for witnesses. | ||
I don't know if Bannon intends on testifying. | ||
There are some mixed rumors that Bannon wants to and will testify. | ||
We don't know. | ||
But now it's the defense's turn. | ||
Holy cows. | ||
It's the defense's turn. | ||
And we'll see how long they go. | ||
I can't imagine them going for much longer than the prosecution itself, but they can call a few witnesses and this can go on a few more days. | ||
But with any luck, I think it should end by the end of the week. | ||
And then the question is going to be, Is it a fait accompli for a conviction, or is there a chance that the jury might say, yeah, look, there's a letter saying that he waived executive privilege, which presumes that he had it in the first place. | ||
It'll be interesting to follow, but should be done by the end of the week, in my mind. | ||
unidentified
|
All right, so now the content of this letter, right? | |
The fact that they are going to the jury, right? | ||
And presumably, as you state, This may be a jury. | ||
It's a D.C. | ||
jury, so there's probably not gonna be a bunch of Trump supporters sitting on this thing. | ||
Now, it might rub them the wrong way, because, and I sat there during jury selection, and you saw people, and again, we heard this witness yesterday, the first witness, who was the chief counsel for the J6, she is the chief counsel for the J6 committee, and her and her staff are giving me the evil eye as they walked out of the courthouse and spotted me there, talking to some few folks that were there. | ||
She kept referring to this as a domestic terrorist attack. | ||
Domestic terrorist attack that led to multiple deaths over and over. | ||
And through the course of that jury selection, we saw that essentially the jury mostly agrees with her assertion of that. | ||
And so when you've got a guy like Stephen K. Bannon there in front of a jury like this, when you've got a guy like Donald Trump who's coming up into a situation like this, and they know, right? | ||
They know that these jurors are their people. | ||
Does it actually run the risk of them saying, look, this guy's on the side of Trump and we're going to convict him because we don't like him? | ||
And that really digs back to the question of political bias. | ||
And that's what the defense was getting into. | ||
Jack, I mean, it's an interesting point. | ||
It's a double edged sword. | ||
The distinction between defiance and resistance is perspective. | ||
Trump's side is going to see this as resistance and the jury probably will see this as more defiance. | ||
I mean, I don't know if the jury is seeing Bannon take to the podium before every day of trial and speaking to the world, using this trial as a pretext to speak to the world. | ||
I suspect they are. | ||
I suspect anybody who is not a supporter of Trump or who loathes Trump will see this not as resistance, but as defiance, justifying a sanction. | ||
We'll see. | ||
But it might have been a done deal from the beginning. | ||
But yeah, and I could see a jury getting incensed by this. | ||
You have Donald Trump referring to this committee as unselect, sham, kangaroo court, travesty of justice, where some of these jury members are in fact and probably still do see this as an insurrection, an act of domestic terrorism, a term that was thrown around the House Resolution 503 more times than you can count, and they believe it. | ||
And so they're gonna believe that it was an act of domestic terrorism, and here you have Steve Bannon, the ringleader, saying all hell is gonna break loose, flouting the authority of the committee, and making a mockery of this trial, and Donald Trump aiding and abetting through this letter. | ||
But, who knows? | ||
I think both Trump and Bannon, at this point, are using this trial to speak to the world, and not necessarily to the jury. | ||
The misdemeanor from hell. | ||
Oh, two counts of contempt of Congress for failing to appear and for failing to produce documents of someone who was not even there the day of, is an extremely popular social media personality, has a huge platform. | ||
This was not about any aiding and abetting or having anything to do with the events of January 6th. | ||
It's about making an example of proud spokespeople for ideological adversaries. | ||
Well, Vin Viva, there was a point you made... No, that's exactly right. | ||
I listened to it this morning, your recap, there was a point you made, we're seeing Steve Bannon on trial, they're bringing up Jan 6, they're trying to get there, obviously, and it's clear that the witness was aiding them in this. | ||
They're trying to make this a case about January 6th, and trying to say that Bannon is complicit in that. | ||
She keeps bringing up this phrase, all hell's going to break loose, all hell's going to break loose. | ||
By the way, I was sitting next to Steve Bannon when he said that. | ||
He was talking about the debate that was supposed to take place in the well of the Senate. | ||
But to your point, Viva, that you made on the recap, there is somebody that we know organized and incited a riot to storm the Capitol, and his name is Ray Epps. | ||
Interestingly enough, He's not on trial, and he has not been referred for prosecution at all, as far as we know. | ||
It is patently absurd, and you know that it's bad when the New York Times comes out and runs a propaganda puff piece. | ||
Portraying Ray Epps, not as a perpetrator of this act of domestic terrorism, but as a victim of right-wing conspiracy theories, that somehow he's just an innocent victim in all of this, and now he's being thrown under the bus by the right, as opposed to prosecuted to the moon by a weaponized DOJ. | ||
Ray Epps, on camera the day before saying, storm the Capitol, go in the Capitol, on On the Capitol, the day of, by his own admission, going past barricades, being present on restricted grounds, and leaves once the violence occurs, by his own admission, texted his nephew, basically explaining, if not boasting, about his role in orchestrating all of this. | ||
I don't know if he's been subpoenaed. | ||
I don't know if the House Committee subpoenaed RAFs. | ||
In fact, I don't think they have. | ||
So, to suggest that they're going after the actual meaningful players in this, at this point, Would be laughable. | ||
And it becomes somewhat undeniable that they're going after the political players in this. | ||
And players as in people who have a platform, people who have been vocal opponents, and are now feeling the wrath. | ||
Viva! | ||
Viva! | ||
We're gonna carry this into the break. | ||
Guys, stay tuned. | ||
We got a packed show coming up with Ben Hardwell to cover the Draghi story. | ||
Stay tuned. | ||
We love you. | ||
unidentified
|
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 is no more left. | ||
We are going to turn it right back to Viva. | ||
Viva, what next? | ||
Close this thing out. | ||
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
War Room, Pandemic. | ||
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
Welcome back to the War Room. | ||
We are gonna turn it right back to Viva. | ||
Viva, what next? | ||
Close this thing out, give everyone an idea of what to expect next and what's gonna happen. | ||
So, prosecution has closed this case. | ||
They're going to start back up now with the defense presenting their witnesses. | ||
I presume there might be some form of counsel for Bannon in there to speak to the letter invoking executive privilege. | ||
Bannon might himself testify, since he's been using the podium outside to do it quite vocally, so he might seize the opportunity. | ||
And then they close up, and then there's going to be closing arguments and a verdict. | ||
I suspect it's going to be done by the end of the week. | ||
I don't see how this can go on for much longer. | ||
We'll see what the day holds today, but that's it. | ||
I'm not changing my initial prediction. | ||
I think this was a done deal from the get-go. | ||
Prosecution has gotten its evidence in, service of subpoena, non-compliance, and I don't know that Bannon is going to be able to invoke any defenses that are going to be accepted by this jury. | ||
All right, where can folks find you? | ||
Where can they find the podcast? | ||
How do they get to this? | ||
I've been doing daily streams on my YouTube and Rumble channel, Viva Fry. | ||
You can find me on Twitter, TheVivaFry. | ||
And the Post Millennial, I've been doing daily exclusive summary analysis updates. | ||
At the end of the day, you can find that on the Post Millennial, and I've been tweeting out the links to that left, right, and center on Twitter. | ||
Viva, thank you for your service. | ||
You got a beautiful little girl. | ||
Don't think the War Room missed her popping into that shot. | ||
That was the best part of your whole segment. | ||
He's a boy. | ||
He's just got long hair like his dad. | ||
unidentified
|
But I need to get a better studio door here. | |
Viva, have a great life. | ||
We'll see you soon. | ||
Thank you. | ||
All right, Cameron, can you play that clip of Draghi real quick? | ||
unidentified
|
Harnwell, break this down for us. | |
the Republic. | ||
I ask to suspend the meeting because I am asking the President of the Republic to communicate my determination. | ||
Thank you for this, of course. | ||
Sometimes the heart of the central bankers is used. | ||
Hardwell, break this down for us. | ||
What the heck is going on in Italy and why does this matter? | ||
Morning Terry, morning Posse. | ||
Well, today, this is something that the War Room predicted around 10 days ago. | ||
The government here in Sri Lanka is a coalition government, tenuously held together at best, has finally fallen. | ||
The Prime Minister, Mario Darraghi, who, as we know, isn't elected. | ||
He's a technocratic president. | ||
He's not a president of the council, that is, I should say. | ||
Not a deputy of the lower house, he's not a senator, he's simply picked by the President of the Republic, and it was to the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, that he went, that's the official residence behind me, the President of the Republic's official residence, the Quirinalia, and he went, Draghi went here, just came here this morning, and he submitted his resignation for the second time in two weeks. | ||
This time it's been accepted. | ||
Look, the thing, Terry, I want to drill down on in this is because The Western media is pushing out so much disinformation, it's absolutely unbelievable. | ||
They're saying, oh, the government failed because one of the coalition partners was unhappy to do with an incinerator dump. | ||
I'm just outside Rome. | ||
This is absolute nonsense. | ||
The reason this government, this government would still be in place until the end of the legislature. | ||
Mario Draghi would still be prime minister until the end of the legislature. | ||
But for one thing, there is massive social dissatisfaction in Italy right now due to the high cost of living and high fuel inflation. | ||
And all of this can be traced back to The insane policy of our sociopathic overlords with regard to Ukraine. | ||
And specifically, Italy, that is to say Mario Draghi, was in the forefront of the pro-Zelensky brigade. | ||
This is more than Olaf Scholz in Germany, more than Emmanuel Macron in France. | ||
The question is now, with Mario Draghi out of the picture, who is going to be leading the pro-Zelensky faction within the EU? | ||
Well, Ben, my question, of course, is that we're seeing the fall of this government in Italy. | ||
We're seeing the Vespas riding behind you, as I've got the students walking around behind me here at Turning Point at SAS. | ||
I'm down here in Tampa, Florida, the center of the conservative movement. | ||
But we're seeing the collapse, the crush of these governments. | ||
They pursued these ESG policies. | ||
They shut down their own gas. | ||
You've got the Germans, right? | ||
They're talking about potentially having to chop wood for the winter. | ||
Is there anyone in Italy, is there anyone in Western Europe that has an actual plan forward when it comes to energy? | ||
Because if you continue to do this, if you continue the financialization of markets, as Steve said at the beginning of the show, we played that clip of him, then you are always going to lead to populist uprisings and you're always going to lead to leaders, by the way, like Donald Trump. | ||
rising up to fight back against these corrupt elites. | ||
Is there anyone in Italy with any semblance of what they used to call common sense? | ||
unidentified
|
Not particularly, Jack. | |
Though I have to say the strategy that the most political parties seem to be adopting right now is the blame Putin strategy. | ||
So the high prices, the high food prices, the high fuel prices blame Putin. | ||
And that has carried all of the 27 member states and perhaps even to some extent the failing Biden administration along as well. | ||
But the more these prices bite, the more people feel impoverished, the less they're going to be satisfied with what are effectively Easily disprovable lies. | ||
Don't forget, Jack, one government has already fallen because of the New World Order agenda, and that is the government of Sri Lanka. | ||
Now, there are several other governments shuffling on immediately behind Italy. | ||
Italy's not going to be the last government now that's going to fall. | ||
Already last week, we had the Latvian Prime Minister tendering her resignation, seeking a fresh mandate from the president of the Latvian There are other countries that are stacking up now. | ||
It's like at the airport when the airplanes are all circling around and ready to land. | ||
Behind Italy there were a number of other countries and time, all that is required is for time to flow and other countries will start to collapse as well. | ||
Jack, if I could just say one thing, however, now I've not seen this reported in any mainstream media. | ||
I'm going to go ahead and say this, right? | ||
I haven't had a chance to double verify it, but I'm going to go out on a limb. | ||
There are reports that this morning, when the moment Draghi tendered his resignation, Vladimir Putin augmented the gas supply from Russia to Italy by 70%. | ||
That is by 21 to 36 million cubic meters a day. | ||
So this is a clear sign, right? | ||
unidentified
|
This is a clear sign. | |
I'm working on it. | ||
You know, I had to get out here pretty quickly, but I hope to confirm that later on today. | ||
But what this means, Jack, is that Vladimir Putin has the economic viability of the EU member states in his hands. | ||
He can pull them as if he had them directly. | ||
Now, the two countries that will affect the most It's Italy, but before Italy, Germany, which are the two EU countries most dependent on Russian gas that are pushing hostile policies towards the Kremlin right now. | ||
There are other EU countries that are just as dependent on Russian gas but they're attacking a more prudent line. | ||
It seems to me to be clear that Mario Draghi, who, he's single, he went out of his way to push a hard line, an anti-Moscow line. | ||
He went out of his way, publicly, to say to his EU member state colleagues that he wants to get a price roof imposed on Russian fuel. | ||
So they used to say that the EU would fix a price and Russia would either sell at that Artificially low price to Europe, or it wouldn't sell at all. | ||
And Mario Draghi was the ringleader of that. | ||
So he went out of his way to antagonise Vladimir Putin. | ||
The economy was suffering because of the gas, the Russian gas withdrawal. | ||
And that just floated back up to normal today. | ||
So there's a clear cause and effect consequence here. | ||
First order, second order, third order, fourth order consequences. | ||
This government would still be secure. | ||
I repeat, Matteo Draghi would still be secure if it weren't for the bizarre policy that was not furthering Italy's national interest with regards to Ukraine. | ||
Sorry, go ahead. | ||
No, Ben, as they always say, we've got a couple of minutes left here in the segment, but as they always say, the enemy always gets a vote. | ||
Because we're already seeing now, and as I mentioned to you yesterday, Lavrov came out and saying that they are changing the parameters of the Special Military Operation and they are now looking at territories | ||
Beyond Donbass, beyond Donetsk, Lugansk provinces, those oblasts, that they are now, and essentially, I believe, I think everybody knows, that they are saying this in response to the long-range weapons, the HIMARS long-range rocket system that's been sent over by the West, and they are now essentially, right, I think everyone knows, that what they're talking about, Mykolaiv, Odessa, the entire southern coast, Novorossia is something they refer to it as, looking at a landlocking of Ukraine. | ||
Is there a reason, and as we close this out, why, and we might be able to hold you over to the next break, well, ask Terry about that, but is there an ability to understand that both sides have a say here? | ||
It really depends on how informed and how activist the electorate, I think at this stage, Jack, the electorate wants to be and how much it wants to make its voice felt. | ||
If people want to be passive and allow the government Ben? | ||
to steer whatever course it wants to steer with explicit disregard to its own people. | ||
If they just want to follow what the mainstream media churns out, well of course then these governments will be able to do that and there's no need for two sides to get together and talk. | ||
What is happening now however is that people, when they feel the consequences of incompetence in their own pocket, when they don't have any money... | ||
Ben? | ||
Ben, we're going to carry this over into the break. | ||
So stay tuned. | ||
And I want you to come back and continue this. | ||
And I also want you to tell us where we can get a hat like that. | ||
So we'll be right back after the break. | ||
Stay tuned. | ||

War Room. 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. | ||
Good morning, War Room posse. | ||
This has been an awesome day. | ||
My first time, you know, hosting War Room without Steve here, and it's been a little bit stressful. | ||
And I am really looking forward to going home tonight to my pillows and my pillow mattress topper. | ||
My wife bought that for us a few years ago, and it is a game changer. | ||
So I just want to encourage you all, you know, Mike Lindell has, you know, been targeted and attacked by the regime nonstop. | ||
So we got to support him and keep him afloat and make him as successful as possible. | ||
So go to mypillow.com promo code war room and Have the best night's sleep in the whole wide world. | ||
MyPillow.com. | ||
Ben, we're going to take it back to you. | ||
So close us out here. | ||
What do people have to know and where can they find you? | ||
Exclusively on my Getty Feed, Terry, which is simply my surname, it's at Harnwell. | ||
There are a number of imposter accounts, so folks should go to the one which is red and white, V for verified, and I'll be updating my feed later on today. | ||
The big developments here that we're waiting for outside the Quirinale is that round about now, in fact, at 4.30, Elisabetta Casaletti, who's the President of the Italian Senate, should be paying her courtesy call on the President's of the public and immediately after her at five o'clock it's going to be the president of the Italian House of Representatives, Roberto Fico. | ||
And they're going to decide together, that's to say with the president, whether it's possible that they can scratch out until the end of this mandate next spring a different government but with effectively the same people. | ||
the same parliamentarians or whether just to dissolve parliament and go to fresh elections, early elections at the end of September, the beginning of October. So those are the developments here that the whole of the press corps, which is standing here to my right, will be waiting for. All right, Ben, thank you so much for joining us and we will stay tuned. | ||
God bless. All right. So next segment. | ||
This is awesome actually. | ||
Pedro Gonzalez is one of the most underappreciated conservatives in the country. | ||
And I don't even think it's fair to call him a conservative. | ||
He's really just an American. | ||
a few years ago, he wrote an article highlighting something fascinating about the whole transgender movement, which is that Abbott Laboratories or better known as AbbVie had made over seven, I think it was $728 million off of their puberty blocking drug known as Lupron. | ||
And in one year alone, I think it was 2019 or 2018. And that was a few years ago. And it got my whole my mind changed on how this transgender fight is really not just a bunch of gender confused people, but it's really now an industry. There are people there are shareholders, there are corporate jerks who are profiting off of the exploitation of children. | ||
So Pedro and I are actually teaming up on a report and I've asked Pedro to join us to kind of talk a little bit about this and what he's found as we've been going through this research. | ||
So Pedro, run us through this, right? | ||
Like this transgender thing, the left would have you believe that it's just a bunch of people who feel uncomfortable in their bodies and they want to live as they feel. | ||
What's really going on here? | ||
Well, Terry, first, thanks for having me on. | ||
This issue, I think, is unprecedented in the sense that there is so much power and money behind it relative to the size of the group it claims to represent. | ||
Transgender people, people suffering from gender dysphoria, really. | ||
We've really never seen anything like this. | ||
I mean, this is really an international thing. | ||
It goes beyond the United States. | ||
The report that we're working on is limited to the United States, but it's actually astonishing that once you take a closer look at this, you really kind of have to take a step back and ask yourself what's really going on here. | ||
So just a kind of snapshot, the global market valuation for sex reassignment surgery is expected to exceed more than 1.5 billion by 2026. | ||
This is a massive industry. | ||
And like you said, it's not just about helping people that would improve their quality of life by permanently mutilating their bodies and ultimately really becoming lifetime customers of these various medical and pharmaceutical companies because that's actually what happens. | ||
Once someone decides that they can change their gender, they actually become dependent on certain industries. | ||
The healthcare industry, the medical industry, the pharmaceutical industry. | ||
They need to constantly be going to clinics and constantly be taking drugs as part of this process, right? | ||
So there's a whole lot of interest involved. | ||
Yes, there are ideologues. | ||
In other words, there are radicals who are pushing this stuff on us, on families, on children, on younger and younger children all the time. | ||
Those people are real. | ||
They exist. | ||
But the real problem is that they're being aided and abetted by these massive corporations that have tons of power and are able to get what they do all the way up to the White House. | ||
I can get into that if you'd like. | ||
No, I want to credit you on this. | ||
It was out there. | ||
The corporations, big pharma, these hospital industries. | ||
We all know that these surgeries and these hormone treatments cost a ton of money, but you were the one that connect the dots of the profits. | ||
I'm just wondering if you can talk a little bit. | ||
I want you to continue your points and go into that. | ||
Can you talk? | ||
Because the thing is, when you start making profits off of this stuff, you can then reinvest that into lobbying and politics where you can garner power. | ||
And I almost wonder if that's the main push behind the Equality Act and the transgender legislation that's out there. | ||
Well, I think, again, there's the ideological component and you can't dismiss these true believers. | ||
There are people that really do believe in this stuff. | ||
They're wrong. | ||
In fact, they're insane. | ||
And a lot of them are deviants. | ||
But really, The power behind them is not that their ideas are sound or that they're based on, you know, proper studies and things like that. | ||
Oftentimes the evidence that contradicts their findings is suppressed or severely qualified. | ||
So again, it's not like their arguments are better. | ||
It's precisely what you just said. | ||
There are massive entities, not just corporations, but also billionaires that are backing them and backing their beliefs that benefit from this stuff. | ||
And that's ultimately what what tends to drive this forward and a great example that kind of shows a snapshot of this relationship. I call it the transgender leviathan just because it's so massive and it's so Byzantine in the way that it's it's arrayed against us. The White House recently cited a study produced by the Trevor Project arguing that it's necessary to transition children who are experiencing | ||
confusion about their gender in order to reduce the likelihood of suicide. So that claim itself is is already flimsy. | ||
There's a lot of evidence that suggests that transition therapy doesn't actually reduce suicidality. | ||
In some cases, it might actually worsen it. | ||
So we put that aside, right? | ||
But what is the Trevor Project? | ||
What is this LGBT nonprofit that the White House is citing? | ||
Well, the Trevor Project also has an association with AbbVie. | ||
Through the AbbVie Foundation. | ||
AbbVie Incorporated happens to be one of the companies that produces Lupron, which is one of the top two puberty suppressing drugs that's used as part of the transition process. | ||
Off-label use though, right? | ||
I mean, the FDA has never approved it for that. | ||
That's exactly right. | ||
It's used for other things, specifically related to types of cancer like prostate cancer and precocious puberty, the early onset of puberty. | ||
But the FDA, I mean, I don't know how much that is worth, right, the FDA. | ||
But the FDA has not officially approved its use for suppressing puberty in children. | ||
And the really important thing is, is that once you start doing that to kids, suppressing puberty, the likelihood of them taking the next steps, each of which is more and more irreversible, increases dramatically. | ||
It's like a gateway drug, right? | ||
But anyways... Pedro, we got some breaking news. | ||
Where can people find you? | ||
You can find me at chroniclesmagazine.org and I'm on all social media platforms at E-M-E-R-I-T-I-C-U-S Pedro, you are a legend. | ||
We're going to get you back on to talk about this report. | ||
Thank you for your service. | ||
Guys, this is just breaking. | ||
President Biden has tested positive for COVID. | ||
That's obviously going to have huge implications. | ||
He's already not a real commander in chief. | ||
He's out of his element. | ||
He's out of his mind. | ||
He's a puppet president. | ||
Jack, what's going on here? | ||
What do you think is going to happen from this? | ||
Is this a small thing? | ||
Are they going to use this as an opportunity to get him out? | ||
Well, and first of all, I just have to say thank you so much for bringing Pedro on. | ||
I mean, Pedro is amazing. | ||
Totally underappreciated. | ||
And your point is, it's not that he's a writer or a journalist or a reporter. | ||
He's a Sicario. | ||
He's a Sicario. | ||
But when he comes down to this, President Biden, right? | ||
So vaccinated, boosted, masked all the time. | ||
Joe Biden comes down with COVID. | ||
The guy who can't even stand upright on a bike. | ||
Yesterday, he said he had cancer. | ||
He had that slip of the tongue. | ||
I think he probably, that was a Freudian slip. | ||
He knew that he had COVID yesterday. | ||
He knew that something was going on. | ||
He knew that he had it. | ||
Terry, here's what's gonna happen. | ||
This is the moment that Kamala Harris takes over. | ||
Get ready, America, because we're going from the Commander-in-Chief to the Cackler-in-Chief. | ||
We are gonna have her up there, and let me just tell you something. | ||
When the work needs to get done, , a way of | ||
a way of getting people to vote. | ||
We thought maybe we would elect, you know, maybe elect our first human. | ||
No, no, no. | ||
She's going to be in there. | ||
And the only question in my mind is how long Kamala Harris is going to be in. | ||
And she is going to be pushing every single crazy policy from the squad left that she can, and she will use it. | ||
Mark my words. | ||
She will use this to set up a 2024 campaign. | ||
You know, clip this, screenshot it, whatever you got to do. | ||
She is going to use this time. | ||
If Biden steps back, she's going to use this as an opportunity to step up, to take front stage, and then use it to front... She's already talking, by the way, about doing a 2024 campaign. | ||
That's in the works. | ||
This is going to be the moment that she is going to look for... Now what you're going to see, right? | ||
Put on the analyst hat here for a second. | ||
What you're going to see is that she's going to look for some big move, some big accomplishment, some big action that she can take while Biden is in the wings, even if he doesn't formally step down and make her acting president. | ||
You are going to see her make some big move that she will be able to point back to while she's on that 2024 campaign trail. | ||
Watch this. | ||
You're going to see it 100%. | ||
Jack, this is the president that literally no one wanted. | ||
No one voted for. | ||
I mean, this is insane. | ||
I actually think that they're setting themselves up for failure in 2024 if they go this route, right? | ||
Because if they do this, she becomes the first female president. | ||
How are they going to get rid of her through the convention process? | ||
She's super unpopular. | ||
No one likes her. | ||
And she's dumb. | ||
I mean, she's like one of the dumb... My mom actually, you know, my mom's a huge fan of me, obviously, but she said, she was like, Terry, I'm not blowing you up. | ||
I actually think you might make a better vice president than Kamala Harris. | ||
We're just saying a lot because I think you're a terrible vice president, right? | ||
But like, what? | ||
How do they get out of this? | ||
I don't see how... It is a nightmare waiting for them. | ||
No, and it's a nightmare waiting for the American people. | ||
If she is able... Look, when you pick a vice president, you're not supposed to pick someone that you know will stab you in the back. | ||
That's who Kamala Harris is. | ||
I've talked about this White House, the political intrigue, the infighting that's going on since day one. | ||
That's now spilled over. | ||
Everybody's talking about it now. | ||
People used to say, Oh, Poso's crazy. | ||
He's making this all up, blah, blah, blah. | ||
No, we've seen it from day one. | ||
Mark my words. | ||
Kamala Harris will use this as the ability to kind of, she might not formally become, you know, acting because she might, if things get worse, we don't know. | ||
I mean, the guy said he had cancer yesterday. | ||
unidentified
|
Right. | |
And by the way, and the white house came out and they said, Oh, well, no, we're talking about the cancer that he used to have. | ||
And it was these, you know, this melanoma, Jack, we will be right back with my great friend Tiffany Justice. | ||
in his mind. He didn't say has, he said has. The man said he has cancer. Now he's got COVID too. | ||
So he's got COVID and cancer apparently. That's your president folks. Jack, we will be right back with my great friend Tiffany Justice. Stay tuned. Moms for Liberty coming back. | ||

Emily, what are you learning, of course, from the Biden camp now, from the president's camp, learning that he has now tested positive for COVID? | ||
Well, the early indications I'm getting is that the President's health is fine. | ||
Obviously, he has this diagnosis, and they're going to be giving him, of course, the best care imaginable, as you would expect for the President of the United States. | ||
But the early indications from sources at the White House I'm talking to is that the President feels fine. | ||
I was actually on the South Lawn of the White House last night when the president returned from that trip to Massachusetts. | ||
He was with staff. | ||
He seemed in good spirits. | ||
He actually chided the reporters on the South Lawn, including myself, who were shouting questions at him because he had just answered questions to another group of reporters earlier. | ||
But it's really worth underscoring how significant this moment is. | ||
Obviously, the president of the United States being diagnosed with COVID is important. | ||
But it's important to put it in context as well because this was a campaign that I covered in 2020 in which COVID was the number one issue. | ||
And the Biden campaign really prided itself on the degree to which they were, and it's carried through to the White House as well, modeling the best behavior, both in terms of precautions, and the campaign took a lot of grief for that so-called basement campaign, but slowly re-ingratiating himself into campaigning in public. | ||
But even when they did that, limiting his interactions as much as possible. | ||
And then, of course, in the White House, for so much of the early months, Okay. | ||
the administration, even after the president, as president elect, had been given his first doses of the COVID vaccine, extreme precautions were taken above and beyond even what the CDC had recommended in order to keep the president safe. | ||
Just in the last few weeks, there has been a significant back and forth between the press corps and the White House about releasing the testing results as they were coming in. | ||
We knew that the president has what they would call a regular testing cadence, often Mondays and Thursdays. | ||
The White House had sort of stopped proactively releasing the fact that he had received negative tests, but Kareem John Pierre, the White House press secretary, just yesterday, in fact, had released information on his previous tests just after he returned from Saudi Arabia, indicating that he was negative. | ||
But obviously, the timeline suggests, as the president had just returned on, I believe it was a late Saturday night to Washington, that perhaps he contracted this either at the late stages of his trip or in the early stages of this week. | ||
So Mike, we're getting... | ||
Unreal. | ||
I mean, this is President Biden. | ||
I mean, you still see these clips of him when he's walking and doing these events. | ||
He's wearing his double mask, right? | ||
How many vaccines has this guy gotten? | ||
How many times has he been boosted? | ||
And he's now getting it. | ||
Jack, do you think there's anything that they release this to cover up something else in the press? | ||
I mean, are they trying to get away from the whole cancer thing? | ||
Well, I do think that it certainly does help them get out of that situation because, of course, that was a huge firestorm when they have the President of the United States, right? | ||
Let's take out the fact that it's Joe Biden, right, for a second. | ||
I know we can't, but, you know, let's just, let's play along, right? | ||
If the President of the United States comes on TV and announces to the world that he has cancer, think about how that's taken around the world. | ||
We just had Harnwell on talking about this. | ||
Think about how the Russians take that. | ||
Think about the Chinese take that, right? | ||
North Korea, Iran, they understand, by the way, the people of Ukraine that have essentially decided to go, they're going along with this. | ||
They're expecting the backing of the United States. | ||
They're expecting Joe Biden to be the one in there. | ||
Now, all of a sudden he comes out and he says he got cancer. | ||
So if, if, and I get what you're saying, right? | ||
Because this is a, this is a classic political strategy. | ||
That if you were accused of something, you admit to a lesser offense, right? | ||
So you admit to a lesser offense. | ||
So in this case, the accusation is that perhaps it was true that he said he had cancer, but the lesser offense is, okay, well, I have COVID, right? | ||
So it feels almost like a PR strategy. | ||
I don't know if that was a, if that was any indication of it, but it certainly is knocking all of that out of the headlines now. | ||
Yep, it seems like that's the case. | ||
I want to take it to Tiffany Justice. | ||
By the way, American Principles Project, I view us as kind of like the dads of the pro-family movement, but Tiffany Justice is, you know, Moms for Liberty. | ||
They're the moms. | ||
You know, they're organizing, they're nurturing the movement. | ||
We come in, we're giving politicians spankings, you know, when they're getting out of line and killing our kids in school. | ||
Tiffany, I'm hearing a lot about this National Joyful Warrior Summit. | ||
Talk to us about that. | ||
And I want to talk about education too, but tell us about this National Joyful Warrior Summit. | ||
So we had over 500 people come in Tampa. | ||
I think Jack is actually in Tampa right now. | ||
So we were there last weekend and moms and dads and community members from over 30 states came together and it was awesome. | ||
It was inspiring. | ||
We helped parents to get tools in their toolbox to be more effective advocates to defend parental rights. | ||
And it was just a great event to be a part of and really should be a kind of a warning sign for every person running for office. | ||
If you're not paying attention to parents, you might have trouble getting elected this season. | ||
The mama bears are coming for you. | ||
What I've noticed is, you know, if you rewind, you know, even three, two, three years ago, talks of abolishing the Department of Education were still like fringe. | ||
But as we have seen the incredible, I mean the insane overreach, right? | ||
Like, gay porn books in our kids' libraries, this gender curricula, all this grooming that's going on in schools. | ||
Those voices aren't so crazy anymore. | ||
Talk to us about this. | ||
I mean, because what's going on with DeVos and abolishing the Department of Education? | ||
Didn't she call for that? | ||
She did. | ||
So she wrote a book called Hostages No More and I was lucky enough to be able to interview her at the summit on Saturday and she said that she believes that the Federal Department of Education should not exist and she got a standing ovation for that comment. | ||
American parents have seen that the federal government should not be involved in education and certainly not in the decisions that are being made in your local school district. | ||
So we saw the overreach of the federal government into our states. | ||
We also saw the, gosh, I don't even know if there's a nice word for it, the way that the unions manipulated and used their connections with the federal government, with the Biden administration and the CDC to keep our schools closed. | ||
So American parents want less bureaucrats to have influence in our children's education. | ||
And abolishing the Federal Department of Education is one more step to making sure that that's the case. | ||
