The virus has now killed more than 100 people in China and new cases have been confirmed around the world.
You don't want to frighten the American public.
France and South Korea have also got evacuation plans.
But you need to prepare for and assume.
Broadly warning Americans to avoid all non-essential travel to China.
That this is going to be a real serious problem.
France, Australia, Canada, the U.S., Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam, the list goes on.
Health officials are investigating more than 100 possible cases in the U.S.
Germany, a man has contracted the virus.
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide.
Japan, where a bus driver contracted the virus.
Coronavirus has killed more than 100 people there and infected more than 4,500.
anthony fauci
We have to prepare for the worst, always, because if you don't and the worst happens, your host Stephen K. Bannon.
dr joseph ladapo
How can you force people to take a vaccine in order to stop transmission when that vaccine is not effective at stopping transmission?
You don't have to go to medical school to know that doesn't make sense.
Right?
unidentified
Right?
steve bannon
It's Monday, 1 August, Year of Our Lord 2022.
We're 99 days from, I think, the most historic and important midterm election in the history of this country, at least the modern history.
I think maybe 1862 might have been a little bit more important, but we'll argue that over the next 99 days.
We've got packed shows this morning to this afternoon, absolutely slammed, but A very special guy was able to come across this material late last week and want to quote, the public health community will have to disentangle itself from its indoctrinated beliefs about vaccines if it ever hopes to make unbiased and clear-headed policy recommendations during health crises.
That's Dr. Joseph Latipo.
He is the Surgeon General of the Free State of Florida, the wingman of Governor DeSantis.
He's got his M.D.
from Harvard Medical School and a Ph.D.
from the College of Arts and Sciences in Public Health Policy.
Dr. Latipo joins us today.
His book is Transcend Fear.
Dr. Latipo, thank you.
Very honored to have you on, sir.
dr joseph ladapo
Thank you very much.
Thanks so much.
steve bannon
Dr. Transcend Fear, I want to get to the part that you've done so Brilliantly with Governor DeSantis against all comers.
I mean you guys were they went after you hard in the in the in the early days of this pandemic.
But I want to talk a little bit about your personal journey because it's quite amazing.
It's essentially with all your academic brilliance and your performance and your number one wherever you go academically and you go to only the best schools that you kind of were a shell of yourself until later.
You had to learn to transcend your own fear of your own trauma.
Can you walk us through that?
Because it's kind of the heart of the book.
And then it makes it you understand your journey as a public health official.
So walk us through your personal journey.
dr joseph ladapo
Well, Steve, thanks.
It's really kind of you to say that.
And I know I kind of I sort of work it in there in the middle, but it is the heart.
You're right.
It's it's it's really central to the to the book.
And it's true.
You know, I'm you know, I described an experience that I had when I was a kid, I was maybe four or five years old, where I was sexually abused by a babysitter.
And unfortunately, it's something that, you know, we talk about when it makes the news, but it happens unfortunately way more often than people hear about, because as you know, Steve, there are predators out there and they look for opportunities.
And unfortunately, they're always on the hunt and people aren't always on the defensive.
So they're able to take advantage of situations that harm other people.
And for me, it just so happened that that You know, it sort of basically numbed me to a to sort of the experience of life.
And, you know, it was funny, because I actually didn't think it affected me.
I remembered it, but didn't think much of it.
But it was really falling in love with my wife.
And, you know, the thing of one of the things that, you know, I think, That it's special about love is that it sort of brings things to the surface.
So things that aren't working, that you've been able to kind of stuff in a closet or, you know, put behind a curtain that doesn't work out anymore.
When you fall in love, all that stuff comes out and the experience that I went through having to deal with it, thank goodness with the guidance of my wife, I wouldn't be where I am right now without her helped me get to a place where I was able to function just So much better in all aspects of life.
And in particular, it just so happened that in this particular aspect, I look like I'm functioning really well in terms of thinking about COVID-19 pandemic policymaking.
But frankly, it's more because so many people function so poorly that I kind of look like I sort of know what I'm doing or I have some insights that are unique or unusual.
But really, it's mostly common sense and just not being caught up with the things that, unfortunately, most of the public health community has been caught up with over the past two years.
steve bannon
How did you, what were the techniques, besides falling in love with your wife, you're also talking about a Navy SEAL, you've used certain actual techniques to overcome things and make yourself, although you were obviously academically top-notch and moving through life, to actually make yourself a more effective person.
Can you tell us about that?
dr joseph ladapo
Yeah, you bet, Steve, and thanks for asking that.
Yeah, so, you know, it's interesting, right?
Because you're right, like I went to Harvard, this, that, was, you know, doing well in Academically, but there's, there's a, there's a complete difference from external performance and how you are doing internally.
And I was a, I was a wreck internally.
And you know, my wife is an angel.
I mean, she hung in there with me through, um, what basically what was happening was that all this stuff that I had managed to kind of stuff into a closet, which is mostly.
You know, just sort of not connecting with people, not really being present, being extremely fearful of just like everything in my life, but, you know, bottling it up so that, and kind of keeping it controlled so that it wouldn't show up on the outside.
My wife is very sensitive, so she was able to always feel it, even if, you know, other people didn't, couldn't tell.
So all of that was just, was making Brianna's life miserable, basically.
And when we had kids, you know, people, sometimes we laugh when people say that, Oh, you know, having kids will help our relationship.
No, like kids are an enormous stressor.
They're amazing.
Those wonderful gifts from God, but they're enormous stressor.
So that made things even harder.
And eventually, you know, my poor wife, she was at the end of her rope and she, you know, she connected me over the years with a therapist and with other individuals and they helped me some but you know it was sort of like pitching water out of the ocean I mean there were just we weren't making enough progress to really make a big difference and she found a guy and she told me that you know she found a guy that she thinks could really help me and his name is
Christopher Mather He lives in Los Angeles.
He's a, he's a Navy SEAL, former Navy SEAL.
He wrote a book about his own journey, which is just, I mean, I, I recommend people read the book who were interested in, in kind of, you know, self-improvement.
So amazing journey.
And I ended up, I worked with Christopher for a week and it was the closest thing to a miracle that I've ever had in my life.
So he uses a bunch of different techniques that he developed.
partly based in like Chinese Chinese medicine and meridian stuff.
I mean, I don't understand this stuff.
I just know it worked.
So stuff related to meridians and, you know, chi and flow and energy.
And it's a combination of physical manipulations, like one of the things is called mouching, which is this thing where he literally mashes on the back of your thighs.
And It basically goes from an experience of intense pain to actual pleasure in terms of the intensity of the experience and a bunch of other techniques.
And basically he helped me get free of this, you know, this basically this prison cell, this mental, emotional, spiritual prison cell that I developed.
Primarily as a result of this traumatic experience when I was a child, when this woman broke my boundaries and exposed me to forces that my little four-year-old body and brain just couldn't handle in spirit.
I talk about it a little bit more in the book, and Christopher has a book that dives into it more.
steve bannon
Here's why the book's so important, and I think it's anybody that read it for their personal life, but then also for public policy, because you're at super high performance the entire time.
I mean, Harvard Medical School, arguably the finest in the nation.
I know there's competitors, Stanford's, others.
Then you get a PhD in public health, right?
One of the toughest programs in the country.
So you're super high performing.
Then, as in particularly with Governor DeSantis, I mean, they come after you.
How was that experience and what you learned in transcending yourself and transcending the fear in yourself when, given you had gone to Harvard for both the MD and the PhD, and you saw the entire apparatus from everything you had learned about logic and reason and, hey, being a doctor, that the entire apparatus Yeah, Steve.
against you and Governor Santos, because for a while it was you two guys were alone.
And I mean, we would, because we monitor MSNBC and CNN every night here, 24 seven a day, our staff.
They literally came after you relentlessly, more than just about any public official in the country.
So tell us about that.
dr joseph ladapo
Yeah, Steve, well, you know, I mean, unfortunately right now, there's just a lot of really darkness out there in the world.
I mean there's less now because fortunately there's less fear and more people have sort of woken up and decided not to play along with the silly games that the media has been playing for the past two and a half years and our political leaders have been playing.
But you know there was there was there's been as you know just a tremendous amount of basically malicious energy.
In terms of what what leadership and what the media have been trying to convince the Americans and people all around the world to believe and do.
I know you've talked about a lot of that stuff.
I mean, and now, of course, we're in a period where there's denial.
You've got, you know, Dr. Fauci saying that he never said that, you know, schools should be closed.
And and oh, you know, we'll figure out a way to make it up to the kids after Shutting them out from something that's important to their emotional and mental and, you know, spiritual development in terms of their, their schooling and all that.
But, um, I'll tell you, I mean, if it weren't for, for the work that I did.
So, you know, the Harvard stuff, all that stuff, I mean, it's great stuff, you know, all the great schools people go to, but you know, I think, you know, Steve, all that stuff is right.
You can look part of my language, but you can, you can have a great appearance on the outside.
But when, when the things that matter the most, you know, none of that stuff is on the outside, it's all on the inside.
And when a crisis comes, and you know, you mentioned the book is about like about public health crises and really emergencies in general.
When a crisis comes, that stuff on the outside, it basically makes no difference.
The most important things during a crisis are the things on the inside.
And Fortunately, the work that I did with Christopher Maker, and I've continued to do since that day, is what has helped me withstand all the nonsense from the media.
It's basically a long Broadway show with them.
In terms of the stuff that they try to make people believe is true, you know, make people believe is okay.
And we're talking vaccine passports and mandates for like a new product that we, you know, we continue to learn more about the safety and what we're learning is like increasingly not good.
But because I felt right, and there were times that it was very difficult.
I mean, you remember the whole issue with the whole, with the Senator who, You know, got into it about masking and an interview and, you know, let's go outside.
No, you have to stay here and we have to talk in my office.
No, I don't want to do that.
Let's go outside.
And I mean, there was just a tremendous amount of pressure.
And that was that was a challenging time, more challenging than than a lot of the time that I've had the pleasure of working with Governor DeSantis.
But again, during emergencies, what matters most is what's on the inside.
And fortunately, I am You know, infinitely stronger and more complete on the inside than I've ever been in my life.
steve bannon
Doctor, if you can hang on, we're going to take a short commercial break.
We're going to be back when we join Dr. Latipo to talk about transcending fear, his personal lessons, and also the public policy lessons on these critical aspects of the mass mandates, the vaccine mandates, and how Dr. Latipo, as the Surgeon General of the Free State of Florida, he and Governor Ron DeSantis stood in the breach, stood in the breach when it mattered, and stood against an onslaught of the smartest authorities in the country, in the world.
Short commercial break.
Back, we got Cortez, we got General Bolduc, Ben Harnwell's gonna join us, Carrie Lake, got, I think, Reitens that we're gonna be tracking down.
unidentified
All of it, next, in The War Room.
War Room, pandemic, with Stephen K. Banham.
The epidemic is a demon, and we cannot let this demon hide.
War Room.
Pandemic.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
Dr. Joseph Latipo is the wingman for Governor Ron DeSantis.
He's the Surgeon General of the Free State of Florida.
His book is Transcend Fear.
Dr. Latipo, given all the education you had at the top university, when you saw The, you know, the Fauci's of the world, the CDC, the FDA, these revered institutions, NIH, all these, every night on MSNBC and CNN, all these experts from Harvard, from Stanford, from all over, this onslaught, and you're sitting there with DeSantis, pretty smart guy for me, going through the evidence, the data, and the science.
Was there any ever a time when you thought, hey, maybe we've got this wrong and they've got it right, sir?
dr joseph ladapo
Steve, not for a moment.
Obviously, I can't speak for the governor, but having worked with him, he's a very special guy, as you know.
And I'm sure that he has not had a moment of doubt.
I mean, the thing is, honestly, it's, it's been like, it's been really extraordinary what, you know, people like the CDC, Dr. Walensky, people like Dr. Fauci have been saying, if you're familiar with, with, you know, scientific studies, it's just, it's, it's almost all of it has been misaligned with best public health practices.
And you know, it's, it's, uh, it's still kind of, it's a mystery to me how they were able to make statements that like they did, particularly the stuff that was just, I mean, just, just completely against the book and, and, you know, decades of teaching from, The kid's out of school.
unidentified
Like, you don't do that.
I mean, you only do that if the kids need it, and they never needed it.
The forcing of therapies, specifically the vaccine mandates, that's just ... I mean, there are ethical principles in medicine and public health that say you can't do that.
It's literally against the book.
dr joseph ladapo
Um, so it's, it's been, they've been so far out there and so, you know, clearly putting on a show, a performance that is separate from the truth and has different objectives that it was easy never to have an
steve bannon
Doctor, given, you know, we're 99 days, we're going to spend the rest of this time talking about candidates and policy and all that, as we see the take the House, the Senate on a national level, how do you see from a state, your state Surgeon General, how do you see us turning this around as a country?
Because the federal apparatus, the administrative state of public health, is clearly at dramatic odds with certain states, you know, Texas, Florida, a handful of others that have surgeon generals like yourself and governors that have looked at the evidence, looked at the facts, and have come to radically different conclusions.
How does that get sorted out in your mind as a country?
dr joseph ladapo
Yeah, Steve, thanks.
That's a great question.
I think you need new leadership in positions that matter.
And, you know, it's interesting because I'm I'm mostly, you know, before this role, I was purely physician and scientist.
Like I did, you know, clinical research and I took care of patients and that's what I did.
Being in this role, you know, I've learned about individuals who work in government and work in administrations.
And you know, I think you need new leadership and you need administrators who have expertise in redesigning the structure of agencies so that you know, so that this type of really corruption.
Because there are scientists that went along that knew that what was happening was wrong.
I mean, there were, unfortunately, a lot of my colleagues... Hang on, hang on.
steve bannon
I want to make sure.
You're saying this is not incompetence.
You're saying these are not acts of omission.
You actually think they're acts of commission.
This is corruption in the administrative state being corrupt, not just incompetent?
dr joseph ladapo
Oh, mostly, yeah.
There's some incompetence, you know, because, for example, I have a background in research, so, you know, I can look at studies and See what studies make sense, which ones don't.
And some doctors might not be able to, you know, sort of navigate that, and therefore they might conclude that mask mandates are an effective way to control a pandemic, you know.
So there's some incompetence, although that's a strong word.
They just may not have the training, because obviously, you know, they're smart people.
But certainly, I mean, There's, there's no question.
I mean, this was clearly a class act.
This was, this was, you know, individuals who had training and knew better deciding to do something different for reasons that are known to God and them.
steve bannon
Dr. Latipo, how did it get to your social media?
The book is Transcending Fear.
It is out August 23rd from Skyhorse.
You can get it now on Amazon, ordered.
I recommend everybody order it.
It's an amazing journey of a man.
You will learn things about it that you can apply to your own life through the journey of Dr. Joseph Latipo.
In addition, it is a stunning book about the crisis that not just that we went through, that we're still going through.
And Dr. Joseph Latipa will be a prominent figure in sorting this out for the nation.
There's no doubt about that.
What he and DeSantis did in Florida is just flat out extraordinary, particularly given the weight of the administrative state public health apparatus that was against them.
So it's an extraordinary book, Transcending Fear.
How do people get you on social media, sir, and follow you?
dr joseph ladapo
We've got a Florida Surgeon General Twitter, and people can follow that.
And yeah, the book's on Amazon.
So, you know, I really do hope people read it because it goes way beyond public health.
And I know that there are a lot of people who can benefit, like I did, from their own journeys, but kind of along the same axis.
steve bannon
And letting you go, Dr. Latipa, I want to nominate your wife for Wife of the Decade.
She certainly hung in there.
As we say, she hung in there.
dr joseph ladapo
God bless.
Oh, thank God.
Thank God.
steve bannon
Thank you, sir.
Honored to have you on here.
Dr. Joseph Latipow, the Free State of Florida.
Let me bring in Cortez.
Let me get you here quickly.
You're going to hang with me for the next hour or so.
Talk about economics like we normally do geopolitics.
Got General Bullocks on during a second, but John Gibbs.
You had an amazing piece over the weekend, the closing argument for John Giggs, and I got Peter Meyer, the guy running against me, he's all over media everywhere whining about, you know, the rich kid whine on every different topic.
Tell me about Gibbs and what's the closing argument on Gibbs?
steve cortes
Yes, by the way, just first on Meyer, it really is amazing.
Talk about somebody who, you know, was born on third base and whining as if he doesn't have the resources, this trustifying whining that he doesn't have the resources to take on John Gibbs.
But here's the case for Gibbs.
And I think, you know, what I did, I laid this out on my sub stack, encourage people to please read it.
Closing argument in front of critical elections tomorrow, including the Michigan Third Congressional District.
And I give the three reasons why Meyer needs to be fired, why he is totally unfit to represent the good citizens of West Michigan.
The first one is that he owns Biden's inflation, and that is key.
There are collaborated Republicans, and he is one of them who voted for the omnibus behemoth spending monster that fueled this inflation.
He also voted, of course, for the Ukraine package.
The second reason is he betrayed Donald Trump.
Only days into office, Peter Meyer joined nine other Republicans in shamefully supporting the sham second impeachment.
And then the third reason is far more recently he just voted in favor of Nancy Pelosi's gun-grabbing bill and with so-called red flag laws that we know are going to be used to remove guns from law-abiding citizens to strip the constitutional rights from those of us who simply have different political points of view from the regime.
But then there's also the pro-Gibbs part.
I don't want to just tear down Peter Maher even though he deserves it.
But the pro gives part.
The first thing is he's endorsed by President Trump, enthusiastically supported by President Trump.
He served four years very honorably at a very high level in the Trump administration.
He was one of the top aides and advisors who was counted on by Dr. Ben Carson, who was a Michigan native son and somebody who also enthusiastically endorses John Gibbs.
The second reason for Gibbs is that he's an America First fighter.
He is a stalwart.
He will represent our values of patriotic populism.
For example, he insists that we defend our border, the American southern border, not the eastern border of Ukraine, as Peter Meyer seeks to do, because Peter Meyer prioritizes MSNBC over Muskegon, Michigan, unfortunately.
And then the last argument I make in favor of John Gibbs is his life experiences.
This man, he reminds me in some ways of Dr. Latipo.
He's accomplished an incredible amount in a very young life so far.
He's still a young man, but what he has already accomplished.
He graduated from Stanford in computer science.
He worked at the absolute highest levels of big tech, but he never bought into the worldview of Silicon Valley.
So that is critical.
You have somebody with our worldview who understands big tech from the inside.
And I think that will be crucial on Capitol Hill, given how much big tech acts like big brothers and tramples our rights.
steve bannon
Didn't Gibbs essentially walk away from him and give it up to become a missionary in Japan?
Correct.
Didn't he?
I mean, that's a big part of his story.
This guy's been the servant leader.
These are the kind of guys, Latipo and Gibbs, I mean, Gibbs is at the highest level.
When you're at Stanford, that's a ticket punch, correct?
dr joseph ladapo
Correct.
steve bannon
Correct, Steve.
steve cortes
So he graduated from Stanford in computer science.
He's on the absolute fast track in Silicon Valley, and he gives it up to go and preach Jesus to Japan and to learn an incredibly difficult language and live there for years.
This is an incredible man of character and substance and accomplishment.
And speaking of the credentials, you also have to get a master's at Harvard after that, by the way.
steve bannon
He went down market.
No, this is why we're winning.
Look at the talent that MAGA is bringing towards itself.
Look at the talent.
It's absolutely, it's breathtaking.
It is breathtaking.
If you see the character, the quality, the achievement, the grit, the intelligence, this is why we're ascended.
This is why we're ascended.
Don't let them, don't listen to mainstream, don't listen to, this is why we're ascended.
It's made up of people like Latipo, and Gibbs, and Bolduc, and Gritens, and Lake, and all of it, all of it.
If you look at every aspect of life, you don't have to go to Harvard or Stanford, Right?
You look at every aspect of life.
Cortez, this is why we're ascending, brother.
Hang over a second.
We're going to take a short break.
We've got Eric Greitens by phone.
We've got General Don Volokh, who's running in a tough one up in the live-free-or-die state of New Hampshire.
That's one we can pick up if we get the right candidate.
Short commercial break.
We'll be back in the War Room in just a moment.
unidentified
Because we're taking down the CCP.
Spread the word all through Hong Kong.
We will fight till they're all gone.
We rejoice when there's no more.
Let's take down the CCP.

Why it's so important in this entire primary process and the underpinnings of the big steal in Arizona.
Mike Lindell is going to be one of my Very special guest.
He's in court there right now to get the machines out.
And guess what?
They're not losing.
They're kind of winning.
It's very interesting.
Okay, let's go to Eric Greitens.
Commander Greitens, I know you're going around the great state of Missouri.
A pretty hectic weekend out there, Donald.
President Trump had a couple, three things to say about your opponents, and they were not positive, right?
He's unloading on truth, on truth social right now on your opponents in Missouri.
Tell us about that.
How do people find you today?
Because people want to know, where do I go?
How do I help?
How do I either walk a precinct or knock on a door or work a phone back?
Commander Greitens.
unidentified
Yes, huge development last night.
Donald Trump came in and slammed the rhino Eric Schmidt for great dishonesty in politics.
And that is exactly right.
I'm the MAGA candidate in this race, and we're running against Eric Schmidt, who is a rhino.
He's taken $10 million in Mitch McConnell money, and President Trump is exactly right.
These guys push out fake polls.
They push out false ads.
Their entire campaign is built on lies.
But here's the good news.
MAGA patriots around the state of Missouri, they've seen through the mainstream media lies.
They've seen through the rhino corruption and cowardice.
And people are on fire, Steve.
We're just leaving our first stop.
We're doing six stops around the state of Missouri today.
We are just now leaving Hannibal, Missouri.
We're on our way to Kirksville.
We'll be in St.
Joseph, in Springfield, in Rolla, and then back tonight in St.
Louis.
Encourage everybody in Missouri, or if you've got a friend in Missouri, make sure that MAGA Patriots are getting out to vote tomorrow for Eric Greitens in the Republican primary for the United States Senate.
Things are looking very good, Steve.
We're going to bring a victory home tomorrow night.
steve bannon
Commander Greitens, what's the website they go to?
unidentified
The key website to come to is ericgreitens.com.
It's E-R-I-C-G-R-E-I-T-E-N-S dot com.
And up there and on all of our social media, we have this latest story about President Trump coming in, slamming Eric Schmidt for great dishonesty in politics.
He sees it.
MAGA patriots see it.
This is a battle between MAGA versus the RINOs.
And on Tuesday, MAGA is going to win.
Encourage everybody to get out and vote for Eric Reitens.
We're going to take this race, Steve.
steve bannon
Let me, just two seconds on that.
They had a poll yesterday put out by Remington, something that the campaign manager for Schmidt controls.
It's his polling.
They put out a thing, oh, Greitens is behind on Schmidt.
The same time they put out a poll about the presidential preference Trump 42, I think DeSantis 18, Josh Hawley 6.
But it's like a third of Missouri voters, I looked at that go, that is the most bogus poll I've ever seen.
As soon as people started looking, they go, this thing's trash.
This is just, they made up, they just made up the numbers.
I can tell you one thing.
There ain't one third of Missouri Republican voters that have not made up their mind about Donald Trump.
That is just absolutely bogus.
So, great job.
The guys at Breitbart, Matt Boyle, all over that, blew that story right up from the beginning.
So, Commander Greitens, fight on today.
We'll track you down in the evening shows.
unidentified
Yes, sir.
Will do.
Talk to you then.
Thank you, sir.
steve bannon
Commander Greitens barnstorming around Missouri is this massive tomorrow is almost like Super Tuesday, right?
These massive races going to get Cortez back in a second.
The last I think the last primaries in September.
I think September 13th.
It's in the live free or die the flinty, New Hampshire primary General Don Bolduc General first off Nancy Pelosi is going to be in route.
I think tonight to Taiwan to visit the free Chinese on that Island Silicon Valley West.
The Chinese Communist Party has said this is not going to sit well.
In fact, this is going to cause a major perturbation.
What are your thoughts, sir?
unidentified
Well, my thoughts are is the Biden administration, with the help of my U.S.
Senate opponent, have been national security risk, both at home and abroad.
They're weak, dangerous, feckless, and expensive.
And as a result, all the America First policies that President Trump put in place to make this country strong at home, So that we could hold China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran at bay and in check, have all been reversed by this administration.
And so that leaves us weak in every area of the world, but most importantly, weak at home.
And she's going over there, like many others in the administration, and it's going to be something that causes China to push back.
Why?
Because China has absolutely no respect for American power right now.
There's no peace through strength.
Every institution is weak.
They're involved in undermining every one of our institutions.
And so we need to ensure that we stand by the folks of Taiwan.
but at the same time, you know, China is unchecked by this weak, feckless and dangerous administration.
And we got to change it.
steve bannon
General, you know about infiltration.
I mean, you're a revered special forces officer, a revered leader of men in combat.
Do you believe, as you look at the evidence as been presented, we know the FBI has done a terrible job here.
In fact, Miranda Devine's gonna be on tonight They do treat him.
They treat him like he's an extension of Chinese policy, Chinese communist policy.
and the laptop from hell. Do you believe the Chinese treat Biden like a tributary state leader or somebody that's been compromised? Are you shocked knowing what you know about leaders of the world, just the lack of respect they show Joe Biden?
unidentified
Yes, of course. They do treat him. They treat him like he's an extension of Chinese policy, Chinese communist policy. And it's absolutely wrong. And they know that they're going to get the support of weak and feckless Republicans and Democrats in the United States Congress.
People that have been bought, corporations that have been bought, sports teams that have been bought.
They are in our education system.
They're undermining not only our education system, but our families and our financial system and our political system.
They're buying farmland, you know, and all The only response by the administration and my U.S.
Senate opponent is to spend more money and to put us more in debt and more at risk by our enemies from without.
But it's really the enemies within that we have to really pay attention to now.
And that's why we need to change people in Congress and get Maggie Hassan out of there and all the others and change the complexion of the United States Congress To one of patriots, America first, MAGA, American strength agenda.
That's what we have to do.
steve bannon
Given all the crises we have on the southern border in this whole debacle in Ukraine, and now that the Western European economy is cratering, the government's falling like in Italy, China, the South China Sea, everything, Kashmir, Pakistan occupied Kashmir, all the hotspots in the world, everything happening.
The Mullahs announced last night that, yeah, we have the ability to make a nuclear weapon.
What does that show of the John Kerry, Joe Biden regime's handling of the situation with arguably next to the CCP, the most dangerous enemy to the United States and our allies, the Mullahs in Persia?
unidentified
Yeah, you know, it's absolutely right.
And the fact that they say they're not going to make a A nuclear weapon you can't buy.
They're threatening one of our most important allies, Israel.
And we need to stand by Israel.
Biden's visit there was terrible.
He didn't stand by them.
He didn't show strength.
And he went to Saudi Arabia and, you know, snuggled up to them.
They don't respect our culture either.
They don't respect, you know, our American values and principles.
And he is just showing weakness across the board that is Hugely dangerous.
And the expansion of Iran with nuclear weapons and their financing of violent extremist organizations has expanded exponentially under him.
North Korea with their missile launches expanded exponentially under him.
Russia had no, absolutely, you know, no pressure not to invade Ukraine.
You know, China is just Expanding everything that it's doing to undermine America.
This administration is the most dangerous administration in the history of this country and it needs to go or our children and grandchildren are going to pay a huge price and I just can't sit back and let that happen.
steve bannon
General, you're in a tough primary up there.
Tell us about that, and how do people get to your site to either volunteer or to find out where you're going to speak?
Walk us through this.
It's September, but it's a tough primary, and then you've got a tough general election opponent.
Walk us through the race right now.
unidentified
Sure.
So the race is right now that we're leading all candidates in the polls, and I don't do my own polls, and my opponents don't do polls either because they already know what they're going to say, and people aren't going to believe them.
But at the end of the day, We're ahead.
We don't have the most money because I don't take from Big Tech, Big Med, Big Energy, Big Farmer, and all those places.
I take from Granite Staters.
Over 50% of my donations are under $200, and I'm very proud of that.
I won't be bought.
I won't be sold.
Others are already bought and sold, and we know that Maggie Hassan, with her $5 million that she just raised, Is already bought and sold, paid for and won't represent Granite Staters.
So what we've done is we put in a grassroots campaign over the last two years of campaigning where my Republican opponents have only been in the race for a few months.
I've been in this race for two years.
We have a thousand volunteers.
I don't pay for people to put signs up, do door knocking, anything like that.
It is a grassroots campaign that has been built by going out to all towns and cities.
I'm the only candidate that's done that.
In the state of New Hampshire and talking to people across the electorate.
And so we're strong here.
We have a 13 September primary.
Anything anyone can do to send me some money, whatever it is, go to DonBaldick.com.
Please, please do that.
And we'll be good.
I want to say hello to your viewers, particularly the ones in New Hampshire who are really glad to see me on Bannon Show today.
We are moving forward and we can beat Maggie Hassan.
And we're not establishment.
And that is huge.
And that is important to Granite Staters.
steve bannon
I've spent a lot of time in New Hampshire.
Absolutely love that state and love the people.
You don't, don't come any better Patriots than in New Hampshire.
General, thank you very much.
One more time.
Give the website so people can, uh, people can get to you and follow you.
unidentified

We get in the United States Senate, you're going to get a senator that works for you.
steve bannon
General Bolduc, thank you.
Honored to have you on here and honored to have all the War Room Posse up in New Hampshire.
Thank you, sir.
Cortez, you went throughout Ohio.
You've gone throughout all these states campaigning with these folks.
You've seen MAGA up close.
You've seen the War Room Posse up close.
Tell me about the talent pool we got, brother.
steve cortes
No, listen, you know, so we were just talking about John Gibbs, of course, somebody And look, Steve, let me just be clear.
I think credentialism is overplayed in our society, particularly in the corporate media and in politics.
But here's the thing.
We can match them for credentials and then massively crush them when it comes to substance and character.
So, for instance, just look at the candidates for tomorrow.
You have John Gibbs, who graduated from Stanford and Harvard.
You have Eric Greitens, who's a Rhodes Scholar.
Blake Masters, who graduated from Stanford.
All of these candidates match them on character.
And then absolutely smash them when it comes to actual concern for regular everyday Americans, for the deplorables out there.
And that's one of the reasons why corporate media so specifically targets those exact candidates, because they consider them to be almost members of the club, and then yet they betray the club in favor of regular citizens out there.
steve bannon
Apostates, right?
Apostates.
Okay, Cortez, Harnwell, all next.
Economics, geopolitics next, and Worm.

Come, come one, come all.
It's going to be great.
Steve Cortez, China.
Nancy Pelosi's heading over there.
And the Chinese Communist Party doesn't like it.
But more importantly, and I said this on John Frederick's show this morning, the biggest events in your economic life right now are not taking place in the United States of America.
They're taking place in mainland China.
The bottom's falling out of the real estate market, the Ponzi scheme.
Evergrande was supposed to put forward their plan for restructuring the $300 billion in debt.
Didn't happen, right?
They had a couple of bullet points because they didn't have any cash.
You got the CCP announced a $150 billion bailout to try to keep the wolves at the door because they knew Evergrande wasn't going to put forward a plan.
Actually, in the Financial Times, Ben Harnwell sent me, the Financial Times of London today, not in the paper, but online, has said, from their reporters in Beijing, that Chinese Communist Party officials are leaking to them that they are very nervous about social unrest, because Lao-Beijing can't get to their cash.
Steve Cortez.
steve cortes
Yes, listen, a torrent of news, all of it negative, economically, out of China over the weekend.
You know, we had prepared the War Room Posse for this last week, talking about the precarious state of the Chinese economy, using FXI as an example.
That's an American traded ETF and exchange traded fund where you basically buy the country of China in one ticker It got absolutely smashed last week just today as we speak Steve. It's down over 1% It's a pretty quiet day in the American market But anything but quiet for China why because they got that ever grand?
News out over the weekend that they do not have a plan to restructure They don't have a plan because there is no plan because they're insolvent But nonetheless, it's very upsetting for global markets In addition, they also released their PMI report.
And this is actually the official PMI report from the government of China.
And they even admit that they are now in contraction mode on the Purchasing Managers Index.
We talk about these a lot.
They're a great apples-to-apples comparison to view global economies.
Unfortunately, the United States has the lowest PMI, before we get cocky about it, the lowest PMI In the entire G-20, we're at 47.5 for our composite.
Below 50 means contraction because we're in a recession.
But guess what?
China now admits that they are in recession territory.
It went down on manufacturing to 49.
So they're in an incredibly precarious economic situation, and it's mostly because of housing.
And what's going on there right now, and I think what is building in terms of the bubble popping in China, Is going to make what we had here in the United States in 2008 look like it was actually tame.
And let me show a chart so I can show you what the year-over-year growth looks like in housing prices in China.
And this is going back one year.
No, that's not the right one.
Chart three is the one we want to show, please, if we can.
Chart three, where it shows Chinese year-over-year.
There we go.
Newly built housing prices year-over-year.
That is, as you can see, almost a perfect upper left to lower right into negative territory.
unidentified
now.
steve cortes
downward slide into negati in a row. Now we haven't not been a negative terri appreciation since 2014.
falling out economically through social unrest thr right now we're on a rela So that we have to view when we view the national security scene in terms of what is going on with Taiwan, we must view it through the lens that the Chinese Communist Party views it.
And that is they are starting to lose legitimacy economically with their own people because of this economic implosion in China.
steve bannon
Which is the deal they have.
They're going to pivot to hyper-nationalism with the kids and say, foreign devils in Taiwan must go.
But here's what you need to do for me, Cortez.
And the reason I'm so proud of the show and bringing people, we've got Harlem on the road, bringing people all over the world to show the interconnectivity.
We're nationalists.
It doesn't mean we're stupid about how the world works.
We actually understand how the world works.
That's why you can't be...
Ladies and gentlemen, if you think a virus that was cooked up in a military lab in Wuhan came and changed your life and changed the direction of this country, You wait to the contagion that's coming out from the capital markets in China.
We are, in fact, not only not cordoned off from that, we're in the middle of it thanks to Larry Fink and Steve Schwarzman and Ray Dalio and all these guys that have your pension funds and banks, everybody up to their neck in this thing, Steve Cortez.
steve cortes
Steve, if we had never given them two things, number one, we gave them unbelievably generous trade terms, and not even just trade terms, we offered them the opportunity on a silver platter to ravage the United States in trade, okay?
And that was bipartisan.
It was as much the fault of Bill Clinton as it was of George Bush as it was Of Barack Obama.
So number one, we allowed them to ravage us in trade and that allowed them to get some of the revenue to build these bubbles.
But secondly, and maybe even more importantly, we allowed them full access to American capital markets, which again, also allowed them to finance these bubbles that they are now facing, bubbles that they'd simply refused to reckon with back in 2008.
One thing we did here in the United States very well, because it's just part of the American character, is once we realized what a massive problem we had, at least there was transparency about the problem.
And we did many things wrong, but that is a uniquely positive American attribute, is transparency about the problem.
The exact opposite in China, right?
Save face, paper it over, borrow more, push, kick the can down the road.
And unfortunately, because of how intertwined we are in capital markets and in trade with China, this is not their problem only.
This is the world's problem and this is America's problem.
To put a number on it, Steve, $7.7 trillion, that is the total exposure of Chinese banks to the property markets of China Which are starting to implode.
So this, again, makes as bad as the 08-09 housing crisis was in the United States, this actually makes that look tame by comparison.
And that is the reality, unfortunately.
Made, that reality made by the globalists, including Americans like Larry Fink, whom you mentioned.
steve bannon
We might have had kind of transparency.
I still got a bit of transparency on the problem.
We certainly didn't have any transparency on the solution.
All they did was add liquidity to the balance sheet of the Fed and bail out the elites.
Okay, Cortez, you're going to hang with me.
I got Harnwell.
We're also going to go to the great state of Arizona.
We're going to take off of this.
We're going to leave this segment with Jerry Garcia.
Jerry Garcia's 80th birthday would have been today.
For all you deadheads out there, Jerry Garcia.
