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. | ||
| This is going to be a real serious problem. | ||
| France, Australia, Canada, the US, Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam, the list goes on. | ||
| Health officials are investigating more than 100 possible cases in the US. | ||
| Germany, a man has contracted the virus. | ||
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| Japan, where a bus driver contracted the virus. | ||
| Coronavirus has killed more than 100 people there and infected more than 4,500. | ||
| We have to prepare for the worst, always. | ||
| Because if you don't, then the worst happens. | ||

War Room. | |
| Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Okay, Friday, 12 August, Year of the Lord 2022. | ||
| We have Jack Posobiec from Human Events Daily. | ||
| He's got a new show at 10 o'clock every night Eastern Daylight Time on Real America's Voice. | ||
| It's a must-watch. | ||
| It's the evening edition, the nighttime edition, the night watch of War Room. | ||
| I want to go to Cortez real quick. | ||
| I got Cortez in here. | ||
| Cortez is going to be doing economics, but Steve, I've got to ask you the politics before I go back to Posobiec. | ||
| I've got David Brooks in the New York Times, and I've got George Will in the Washington Post. | ||
| And they're essentially saying, unless Merrick Garland comes forward, like, immediately and gives a major rationale for why this was done, just wait for Trump 2024. | ||
| It's all over. | ||
| Game, set, match. | ||
| Your thoughts on that, your political thoughts on that as one of the lead spokesmen for President Trump and one of our top guys for messaging, sir. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| Listen, as an American, what happened was an atrocity against this country, against the Constitution, against President. | ||
| But I will say, as a campaign operative, I think it was a sign of incredible desperation from the Democrats, and in that regard, it was actually a gift to the candidacy of Donald Trump, which is why I am encouraging him to announce as soon as possible. | ||
| I think from a tactical campaign perspective, it's the right thing to do. | ||
| I also think from a patriotic perspective, it's the right thing to do, that he can fight back against this abuse of power better as an official announced candidate rather than simply an ex-president. | ||
| Um, and a private citizen of the United States. | ||
| But yes, listen, I don't often agree with people like David Brooks and George Will, but I'm going to concur in this case. | ||
| You know, clearly I think Donald Trump was the presumptive nominee anyway, was the favorite to win the presidency again, given the created crises that right now bedevil this country because of Joe Biden and his complete mismanagement of the economy, particularly, but other issues as well, like the border. | ||
| But now that he has I think even people who don't necessarily ideologically agree with us, even people who aren't necessarily friendly to the America First agenda, they see this abuse of power for what it is, and independents and even persuadable Democrats are going to come our way, are going to come to the agenda and movement of President Trump. | ||
| Steve, hang on, we're going to get to your chalk talk and your analysis of this economy in a second. | ||
| We'll go back to Pasovic. | ||
| Pasovic, given the oligarchies we've allowed to develop in this nation, Twitter comes out yesterday, and look, you're the pro from Dover on all things Twitter in the whole world, but particularly in the MAGA movement and for President Trump. | ||
| You're by far the best, and you understand the flows and the mechanisms. | ||
| What did Twitter say yesterday? | ||
| And should people be concerned that this is another oligarchs are stepping up, not to put their thumb on the scale, but essentially shut down the scale for November 8th? | ||
| Look, Steve, this comes as no surprise to anyone who's been on Twitter. | ||
| We already lived through the censoring of the Hunter Biden laptop story. | ||
| I'm waiting for Twitter's Civic Integrity Board. | ||
| I'm waiting for them to announce that Hunter Biden is going to be Twitter's head of the Civic Integrity Board. | ||
| Elon Musk, come on, buddy. | ||
| If you're going to step up and fix this thing, I'm waiting. | ||
| I'm waiting, Elon. | ||
| Where's the deal? | ||
| You're trying to back out. | ||
| You're playing footsies. | ||
| You're going to court in Delaware. | ||
| Where's the deal, Elon? | ||
| You said you were going to stop up. | ||
| And all the little Elon bros said that he was going to fix everything and it was going to be great. | ||
| All right, show me the receipts. | ||
| Because I want the receipts from Garland. | ||
| I want the receipts from Trump. | ||
| Trump's asking for the receipts. | ||
| I want the receipts on Elon. | ||
| Look, is Twitter going to put the finger on the scale? | ||
| Of course they are. | ||
| That's why you need Getter. | ||
| That's why you need Rumble. | ||
| That's why you need Real America's Voice. | ||
| That's why you need Human Events Daily and Frontlines, the War Room Night Watch. | ||
| That's why you need independent platforms out there, because they're always going to put the finger on a scale. | ||
| That's why Carrie Lake, how many times did Carrie Lake go on Fox News? | ||
| Once. | ||
| She went on once. | ||
| That was a victory of independent media. | ||
| When you saw the throwdown that turned into the agreement between myself and Jon Stewart, that was old media versus new media. | ||
| This is how it's done now. | ||
| It's like Klaus Schwab is sending his goons out to detain me, to come after me and my Turning Point crew when we're over there in Davos to come after us. | ||
| And now we hear that the World Economic Forum wants to use AI to go and censor keywords across the internet. | ||
| It's simple. | ||
| It's very simple what they're doing. | ||
| It's obvious. | ||
| I've had people, by the way, Steve, calling me up yesterday, people that are currently serving in the intelligence community, saying this is clear timing. | ||
| The reason the FBI launched this raid when they did, and the DOJ, is because they can see, they can see the Trump candidates winning the primaries, but Trump has yet to announce, so they're trying to time it because they know he's about to announce, but they won't be attacked for going after a currently announced candidate. | ||
| It's so obvious what they're doing. | ||
| It's so obvious the timing that you would have to be a fool to overlook it. | ||
| Look, we know what's going on. | ||
| And you know what? | ||
| I actually give Garland credit for one thing. | ||
| I give him credit for one thing. | ||
| He told us the truth. | ||
| This raid order came down from the top. | ||
| So all right. | ||
| If you want to go mask off, we'll go mask off. | ||
| Last thing, the White House, you're saying it's obvious by the crickets, nobody's coming near this thing as radioactive as it is. | ||
| That's your reporting because you're deeply sourced inside the White House. | ||
| Oh, 100%. | ||
| And we'll be covering that deeply. | ||
| We're going to go line by line, everything that's happening on this South Carolina trip. | ||
| Look, the only thing the White House has ever said for the first time that I completely agree with, and I think is 100% true, is that Joe Biden knew nothing. | ||
| Because I guarantee you, Joe Biden never knows anything. | ||
| That's something I'm like, yeah, he probably didn't know anything. | ||
| Of course they're not telling him. | ||
| Because they're telling you now who's really in charge. | ||
| This is the administrative state. | ||
| This is, as I called them the other day when I went through line by line on the Milley letter, the deranged eunuch class. | ||
| And that's what you had in front of the American people. | ||
| I called this. | ||
| That was the deranged eunuch class striking out in their own impetus because they can never win over the American people. | ||
| All they have is brute force. | ||
| Jack Posovic, with social media, how do they get you and how do you get to the new show? | ||
| Yeah, it's at Twitter, at Jack Posobiec. | ||
| We're going up on Rumble. | ||
| We're live on Getter, of course, as well, every single day. | ||
| It's 10 p.m. | ||
| Eastern with a War Room Night Watch, Human Events Daily, Apple, Spotify, wherever you get your podcasts. | ||
| We've got the new email up, liberty at tpusa.com. | ||
| So shoot us an email, comment, tip, suggestion. | ||
| Shoot us the hate mail, too. | ||
| Shoot us the trolls. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| And I respond to the trolls, too. | ||
| Like Andrew Breitbart, your mentor. | ||
| You always go to the trolls first. | ||
| Jack, thank you so much. | ||
| Thank you for sticking around today. | ||
| Nuclear hot. | ||
| Coming in nuclear hot tonight. | ||
| You gotta watch that show. | ||
| It's amazing. | ||
| Okay, let's play the cold open. | ||
| Cortez has got some serious business here to talk about the economy, not spin. | ||
| Let's play the Chalk Talk. | ||
| I'm bringing Steve. | ||
| It's the repo man is getting busy, and that's an ominous sign of Biden's car troubles. | ||
|
unidentified
|
For the numbers, let's go to a Chalk Talk brought to you by Getter. | |
| Repossessions have now risen to $15,000 per day nationwide in America. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because of unsustainable debt. | ||
| Total auto loan debt $1.43 trillion, a record. | ||
| And for the first time ever, the average loan balance is over $20,000 per car. | ||
| That means a monthly payment of $730 every single month that so many consumers simply can't afford because prices are skyrocketing everywhere in their life. | ||
| Now, let's look at an affordability index. | ||
| How many weeks does it take to work for the average worker to buy the average new car? | ||
| Back in 2013, it took 36 weeks. | ||
| 2019, under Trump, it went all the way down to only 32 weeks. | ||
| For most of the last decade, this number was pretty stable at 35 weeks. | ||
| But now? | ||
| It explodes up to 42 weeks. | ||
| You're working an extra seven weeks to buy a car, and it's because of Biden and the Democrats. | ||
| Steve, the first thing I've got to ask you, why is business media, just take the top line cheerlead numbers and then spin it and all they pull the pom-poms out. | ||
| You do more work just coming on your chalk talks and coming on the war room than literally CNBC all day. | ||
| How does that work, sir? | ||
| You know, Steve, I think there are two reasons. | ||
| The first, unfortunately, is ideological. | ||
| It's just their commitment to narrative, you know, and they prioritize narrative and the corporatist agenda over truth, over fact-finding, over storytelling, over journalism. | ||
| That's just the unfortunate reality that the business media, which used to be a bit separate from the rest of the corporate media, is now totally intertwined with them, unfortunately, and has effectively become, particularly CNBC, has effectively become a PR arm of the Democratic Party And gigantic corporations. | ||
| But then the second reason, Steve, which I don't think we should underestimate... | ||
| It's just laziness, okay? | ||
| Listen, here's the unfortunate reality, and I say this as somebody who comes out of the cable news world, okay? | ||
| But most people who are on television are there because they want to be on television, not because they want to do the hard work, not because they want to do research, because they want to do hours and hours of economic research to find exactly the right statistics that prove exactly the correct point and then write it persuasively for the American people. | ||
| There are precious few of those folks out there anymore, Steve. | ||
| Old-school journalists who want to do research and whom are not lazy. | ||
| Instead, it's far easier to simply take the press releases effectively... | ||
| of the Democrats on Capitol Hill or the White House or gigantic corporations and just copy and paste and effectively put that out and pretend that you're doing real work. | ||
| So I think it's a combination of the ideology and the commitment to narrative, unfortunately. | ||
| But then also, Steve, again, don't underestimate human laziness, particularly for people in the media. | ||
| You know, there is no more self-congratulatory group of people on planet Earth than on-air talent at the major news organizations. | ||
| And that is just the reality, Steve. | ||
| They are entitled, they are smug, they are lazy, and they don't want to do the hard work of digging in and seeing, for example, right now, what kind of shape is the economy actually in? | ||
| What are regular people experiencing? | ||
| Not people in New York newsrooms, not people who hang around luxury hotels in Washington, D.C. | ||
| with a bunch of lobbyists at the bar having cocktails. | ||
| What are regular Americans dealing with right now? | ||
| Well, one of the things they're dealing with is a massive rise in delinquency of car loans. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because car prices, both new and used, are at all-time highs. | ||
| And significantly so. | ||
| Interest rates are rising. | ||
| Repossessions are starting to rise. | ||
| I fear and believe, and I think the numbers prove this point, that the repo man is about to get really busy in the United States. | ||
| This is the kind of tangible, kitchen table, real world stuff that people are dealing with. | ||
| And the corporate media, unfortunately, is largely unaware of it. | ||
| Or, if they are aware, simply choose to ignore it. | ||
| We started the show with Harriet Hageman, and she brought up the point, hey, you know, you hear this stuff coming out of Washington, D.C. | ||
| about the prices dropping. | ||
| She says, hey, prices have never been, they're like all-time highs out here. | ||
| They're crushing the ranchers and farmers, and it's going to start rolling through the food sector. | ||
| Tell us about that for a second. | ||
| Listen, let's be precise about this. | ||
| There was a slight downtick, a very slight downtick, in the rate of acceleration. | ||
| That's what has happened. | ||
| Prices are not falling. | ||
| They're not seeing any stop to inflation. People are getting crushed. Steve Cortez. | ||
| Now, listen, let's be precise about this. There was a slight downtick, a very slight downtick in the rate of acceleration. OK, that's what has happened. All right. Prices are not falling. There is a slight downtick in the rate of acceleration in the month of July. | ||
| You know, as I proved in my chalk talk yesterday, CNN said, and this is a quote, the falling price of food and gas. | ||
| No, food and gas are not falling, not at all. | ||
| As a matter of fact, food prices are rising at a faster pace than they have since 1979 in this country. | ||
| That's according to the official government statistics, which were just released in the CPI report. | ||
| You know, let me point out another price, and this is related to what Hageman was saying, because I think this is important, because you mentioned agriculture. | ||
| If we have that chart ready, Uh, chart number one, which is natural gas prices because this isn't getting much attention from corporate media. | ||
| Cause again, they're lazy and they're committed to narrative, but guess what's happened in natural gas. | ||
| In just the last few weeks, Steve, natural gas did take a huge hit in June and into early July. | ||
| Got all the way down from from above $9 to below $5.50. | ||
| But guess what? | ||
| It is snapping all the way back. | ||
| It nearly touched $9 yesterday. | ||
| And as you can see from that chart for the folks who are watching, not just listening, we are very near all time highs again for natural gas. | ||
| Now you might think, well, what's natural gas had to do with farming? | ||
| Well, quite a lot, actually, particularly as it relates to fertilizer, natural gas. | ||
| In some ways, Steve, is even more important to the broad economy than gasoline, as important as gasoline is, because natural gas is really the fuel for the factories and farms of America. | ||
| And it's the fuel, thankfully, that America for decades had been able to count on plentiful, affordable domestic supplies because we are the Saudi America of natural gas. | ||
| Joe Biden, unfortunately, ruined that. | ||
| He squandered Steve, how do people get to your writings on Substack? | ||
| How do they get to all your Getter Lives? | ||
| Yeah, please find me at Steve on Getter. | ||
| hear a lot more in the coming weeks. You don't hear anything now, but we're going to hear a lot more in the coming weeks about natural gas as a massive inflationary force for this economy. | ||
| Steve, how do people get to your writings on Substack? How do they get to all your Getter Lives? | ||
| Yeah, please find me at Steve on Getter. I'm at Cortez Steve on the Twitter. | ||
| Some of the best economic analysis out there. | ||
| And I know this for a fact because I have people call me all the time and say, hey, we depend upon Cortez and how he breaks down. | ||
| Steve, thank you very much for taking time to join us today. | ||

| But I think I got a couple of three enemies, right? | ||
| All good. | ||
| Okay, let's bring in Dave Brett now. | ||
| Dave, you've got some charts on the economy. | ||
| Here's what I love about you, Brett. | ||
| Two things that you've called, you know, Navarro and Cortez were the stagflation. | ||
| You came out over the last couple of months, the last six or seven months and said, hey, we have a big problem in this country. | ||
| The underlying economy has not never really been We've lost our productivity. | ||
| We've lost our edge. | ||
| The real economy doesn't really generate any growth anymore. | ||
| This is all financial, you know, mumbo-jumbo. | ||
| This is all the sleight of hand of the Federal Reserve and just continue to print money. | ||
| And you've shown that. | ||
| You said, hey, real interest rates should be at seven and a quarter, seven and a half. | ||
| Not the nonsense we've got today, which continues to print easy money. | ||
| So walk through your analysis every day. | ||
| NPR, in fact, on my Getter account, I think we put up NPR. | ||
| came out and said, hey, you know, the companies are signaling you there's a real problem here. | ||
| They're cutting marketing and advertising, which are always a leading indicator. | ||
| They're cutting costs dramatically, right, the trips and the overhead and all that, the T&Es and the overhead and the extra. | ||
| And, wait for it, they're starting to cut jobs. | ||
| They're not filling the jobs, emptying the jobs they got, but they're also starting to cut jobs. | ||
| And even NPR said, that does not portend well for the real economy and real Americans. | ||
| Dave Brat, take it away, brother. | ||
| Yeah, well, Navarro and Cortez hammers it every day. | ||
| And he had it just right today. | ||
| The average person is getting hammered, right? | ||
| I mean, inflation went from nine to eight and a half. | ||
| Wow, whoop-dee-doo. | ||
| It's still 40 year high, right? | ||
| And so it's hammering everybody back home. | ||
| But then the people, the middle class turns on the TV at night and they see the stock market going up and they go, are Bratton, Cortez and Navarro right? | ||
| And so I got two pieces I want to lay out today to show that we are right. | ||
| And also, Cortez hit yesterday, the productivity is down again, right? | ||
| That's the most basic economic variable, output per hour, right? | ||
| The amount of stuff you're making, and so that's just decisive. | ||
| But the average person sees the stock market going up. | ||
| How in the world can that be? | ||
| Well, it's because the Fed is wimping out, right? | ||
| They're on the knife edge, and they do not want to cause a deep, deep depression. | ||
| And so they're backing off and the markets think the Fed is going to be accommodative, and they're still stimulative. | ||
| They haven't really done any significant tightening, right? | ||
| Having an interest rate at 2%. | ||
| I'm not sure they're even doing quantitative easing, but they certainly aren't doing any quantitative tightening. | ||
| Green mansion bill, $500 billion plus more federal government spending. | ||
| Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. | ||
| Hang on, hang on, hang on. | ||
| Before we get to the fiscal part of it, we haven't seen, I'm not sure they're even doing quantitative easing, but they certainly aren't doing any quantitative tightening. | ||
| They have not taken off anything. | ||
| They have not shrunk the balance sheet at all. | ||
| And now we're getting articles in the Financial Times, wow, this could be really dangerous, you know, this could be dangerous. | ||
| So the promise of quantitative tightening, of taking liquidity out to try to slow things down, they absolutely are not doing that, right? | ||
| Indicators are only going to do 50 basis points, not 75, but only 50 basis points in September. | ||
| But as importantly, Dave, they're not taking any of the juice out of the system, correct? | ||
| Yeah, they're not serious. | ||
| Markets know it. | ||
| So they're forward looking and they think it's a joke. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| So they're going to get off easy, they think. | ||
| But the problem is, is the Fed is heightening the number one issue in the polls. | ||
| They're not tightening. | ||
| So you got they're still printing money, six percent growth. | ||
| And now the federal government's doing more spending Keynesian demand side stuff instead of focusing on the supply side, which is a problem. | ||
| And so everything is stimulative. | ||
| And so you're going to have inflation. | ||
| You're going to have an enduring high inflation. | ||
| So that's the first thing. | ||
| I just want to tell people when Cortez is going off, he's nailing it. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And it's the real story. | ||
| And then if Cameron's got the couple of charts, I just want to confirm what Steve has been saying. | ||
| Here's the consumer. | ||
| Right. | ||
| This is 70 percent of the economy. | ||
| U.S. | ||
| is 70% consumption. | ||
| So the consumer, look at the far right. | ||
| That's where we are right now. | ||
| So it doesn't matter what you're looking at. | ||
| Current situation, consumer sentiment, their feelings at present, or expectations going out in the future. | ||
| They're basically the same shape. | ||
| And if you'll notice, what the average American is feeling right now is equal to being at the bottom of the financial crisis back in 08. | ||
| So anytime the nightly news or Biden says there's no inflation, OK, if you're arguing with a couple of hundred million people that feel that they're at the bottom of the 08 financial crisis in terms of their consumer sentiment, the way they feel about the economy and their expectations of the future economy, good luck to you. | ||
| And then the next couple of charts, just real quick, 10 seconds on each. | ||
| This just shows you what a recession looks like, right? | ||
| So here's at the far right, you got 2022, quarter one. | ||
| So everything's kind of positive before, boom. | ||
| So when the mainstream press and Cortez had it right, a lot of it's just laziness. | ||
| But where are the economists? | ||
| The economists live off of grants and federal funding, etc. | ||
| And so they're nowhere to be found, because if they came out and told the truth about what's really going on with the economy, they'd all be fired. | ||
| And then in closing, the last graph just confirms that one a little more strongly. | ||
| Here's the recession and the components of GDP growth. | ||
| And the last two are the first quarter and second quarter of 2022. | ||
| This year, that's your recession. | ||
| And you'll see the consumers down. | ||
| Business capital investments down. | ||
| Government, they're going to prop up a little bit, but even it's down. | ||
| And so that's the real economy. | ||
| Productivity's down. | ||
| All the major contributors to GDP growth are down. | ||
| And so when Cortez is going off on the cars and et cetera, this is the way it feels to the consumer. | ||
| And he's giving the hammer every day on food prices through the roof, gas prices still up. | ||
| at highs, at 40-year highs, and you can't cloak it. | ||
| And so, and Navarro's contribution, he always, and he says the solution is not more demand fakery with printing money. | ||
| The solution is structural, and he's exactly right on that. | ||
| We got to get back to looking at the supply side and the economy, which is business. | ||
| Supply creates the demand. | ||
| Government doesn't create money or demand. | ||
| It's the businesses that are doing the hard work. | ||
| We said that they're so afraid of this thing falling into a recession and maybe even a depression. | ||
| They were going to have another massive fiscal stimulus when they came back in August. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| Manchin and those guys Surprise everybody by coming in and actually having the $800 billion fiscal stimulus before they went on holiday. | ||
| But the question for you, we've got a couple of minutes. | ||
| They're hiring 80,000 IRS agents saying, hey, you've got to be ready to use lethal force. | ||
| The Senate Joint Committee has said they're going to focus on couples and entrepreneurs under $200,000 unless that's where 85% of the taxes are going to come from. | ||
| You're not going to have any more tax cuts. | ||
| We can't sell any more bonds. | ||
| They're going to have this massive, still massive, deficit spending. | ||
| How do you, in your world, how do we actually get back to focusing on making the economy itself productive? | ||
| When you can't, you know, you're gonna have to fight the administrative state every day on regulations. | ||
| You're gonna have to, there's no more ways to have tax cuts. | ||
| In Dave Brat's, you know, concept, How do we get to the underlying core problem? | ||
| And by the way, this bill actually starts doing the transition. | ||
| It kills our energy sources and transitions to the Green New Deal. | ||
| So in two minutes, how do we do it, Brad? | ||
| Well, I don't need to do it because you're doing it. | ||
| The key to it is the Marxists have overrun the institutions. | ||
| And originally, the Marxists wanted to own the means of production, the capital itself. | ||
| Well, they knew they couldn't do that. | ||
| So they started off in the education sector. | ||
| They overtook the size of government, the federal government's growing. | ||
| They've packed the FBI, the CIA, the State Department with the administrative state. | ||
| And people are going over the history of the FBI now, right, over the last 30 years, how it used to be patriotic American superstars, and now we've got attacks on sitting presidents, etc. | ||
| And so your analysis is right. | ||
| You've got to get rid of the federal government, the Marxists and the leftists, not liberals. | ||
| The liberals are fine. | ||
| You can debate with the liberals on the sides of government. | ||
| That's not who we're dealing with anymore. | ||
| And so when you're talking about taxing, who the taxes are going to fall on, the left is not going to tax itself, right? | ||
| The big tech guys, Twitter and Facebook and Google and Microsoft and all that, they're all owned by the left. | ||
| Those big five firms are worth more than all of Europe combined market cap. | ||
|

|
They're not going to tax their buddies, they're going to tax you. | |
| And the carried interest is the one thing to take. | ||
| Dave, what's your getter social media handle people can follow you? | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Getter. | ||
| Brat Economics. | ||
| Got to rumble and watch me on the show. | ||
| Just type in Dave Brat there. | ||
| We'll push it all out. | ||
| Dave Brat, thanks for your analysis about the real economy. | ||
| You bet. | ||
| The kids are back in the hallway. | ||
| Students are back in here. | ||
| Come visit. | ||
| Dead in the water. | ||
| Okay, Brother Brat, thank you. | ||
| Somebody else is under constant attack. | ||
| That would be Naomi Wolf. | ||
| But I think her prescriptions were right. | ||
| All next. | ||
| But as we saw time and again, he showed that he had contempt for classified information. | ||
| And, you know, the Washington Post this morning is saying that Garland called Trump's bluff yesterday, but I think it's more than that. | ||
| He called out, with his just-the-facts ma'am approach, he called out Donald Trump's bluster. | ||
| He called out Donald Trump's bluster and his lies, his BS. | ||
| And you just get the sense that from the start of this, Trump has known that he's a corrupt politician who's been cornered. | ||
| And so what has he done? | ||
| He's refused to release the documents. | ||
| He could have released the documents at any time. | ||
| And instead, he's been whipping up a frenzy against the FBI and against law enforcement officers. | ||
| And we saw the consequences of that yesterday, most likely. | ||
| If the reporting is correct, then sure enough, just as I've been warning on this show every day, the irresponsible voices on the Trump right Are ginning up hatred against our FBI, against law enforcement agents, against the very people that they once claimed to support. | ||
| And while they're whipping them into this frenzy, they're putting the lives, they're putting targets on the back of FBI agents. | ||
| And they know who they are, and they were still doing it last night on TV, even after Somebody tried to break in to the FBI Bureau in Ohio and caused harm to agents. | ||
| That's Morning Mika and that's Joe Scarborough, the failed politician. | ||
| Remember, I think he sent two or three terms in Congress before an intern inadvertently died in his local office and he had to then quit to go spend more quality time with his then-wife. | ||
| By the way, this whole nonsense about called Trump's bluff, first of all, he couldn't release the documents, the whole legal process you have to go through. | ||
| These guys walked into a trap, you do understand this, Garland and the FBI. | ||
| The trap's about to close on them. | ||
| This is what buffoons the mainstream media are. | ||
| Garland called the trap, called the bluff. | ||
| Just make sure you put it in perspective. | ||
| Garland had senior, because Newsweeks are not, look, I don't agree with their ideology. | ||
| Right, although Darren Beattie and Steve Cortez and Boris are now columnists over there. | ||
| Darren Beattie's got his first column up today. | ||
| But the news, they had two senior executives, senior officials in the Justice Department that had direct knowledge of the matter, authorized to speak. | ||
| With anonymity to Newsweek to say we had nothing to do with this, this is all the FBI. | ||
| Those guys directly report to Merrick Garland. | ||
| And Merrick Garland came in this fiasco, this firestorm now, had to take responsibility for it yesterday. | ||
| And then lied to you, said we do our talking through our filings, we do our talking through court. | ||
| Left the stage, that little weasel left the stage with his breaking voice and about to cry and wet himself, left the stage And leaked to the Washington Post, Dossie and the same group of scumbags that went all the worlds, because they're basically typists, they're scribes for the Justice Department, the FBI, and put out this hoax on all the nuclear secrets. | ||
| Let's see the affidavit today. | ||
| Let's see the inventory. | ||
| Let's see the facts. | ||
| Let's get the receipts and we'll see how many resignations we get. | ||
| I'm all over and Joe Scarborough, you can say what you want, but we're going to get the scalps of Ray and Garland on this. | ||
| David Brooks in the New York Times and George Will in the Washington Post, two Trump haters. | ||
| from the old Republican Party are today saying that this debacle by the, yes, the Gestapo that is the FBI. | ||
| If the FBI wants me to stop calling them that, they should stop putting guy 70-year-old Peter Navarro in chains in an airport. | ||
| They should stop going out to a gold star mother who gave the ultimate sacrifice, her son in defense of his country and chaining her up like a dog in Colorado. | ||
| You stop acting like the Gestapo, and I'll stop calling you the Gestapo. | ||
| Until then, you're the new American Gestapo. | ||
| And I don't care who doesn't like it. | ||
| I don't care if they're MSNBC, or Rachel Maddow, or NPR, okay? | ||
| We're out to make sure that... By the way, they're going to be defunded. | ||
| We're going to use appropriation products. | ||
| They're going to be defunded and dismantled. | ||
| If there's going to be a federal investigative police force, it has to be rebuilt from the ground up. | ||
| I want to go to Naomi Wolf for a second, because you've been, the administrative state has also come after you. | ||
| You've been a truth teller from day one, and now we know from CDC. | ||
| We'll get to that in a second. | ||
| But you've been attacked relentlessly, Naomi Wolf. | ||
| Walk us through that. | ||
| Yeah, it's a really sad time for America on many fronts. | ||
| And one of them is personally very, very scary and upsetting. | ||
| I found out two Fridays ago through an America First legal FOIA, and God bless them, they secured 268 internal documents from the CDC. | ||
| And my lawyer sent me my tweet in those documents and said, you're named in here. | ||
| And to my horror, indeed, someone named Carol Crawford, who is the digital outreach director of the CDC, The agency that uses our tax dollars to protect Americans from harm and disease. | ||
| She is coordinating with Todd O'Boyle, I gather, with Twitter, a bunch of other Twitter people and the census guy for some reason. | ||
| And she is coordinating longstanding conferences to address misinformation with big tech. | ||
| And then she uses law enforcement language. | ||
| Which is super scary, and I'll get to the tweet itself in a minute. | ||
| But she said, also we are standing up a Bolo COVID misinformation meeting and inviting all tech platforms. | ||
| And indeed, it turns out that they were working with Twitter, Facebook, Google, and the census. | ||
| And the reason the census is so scary is that they have all of your personal information. | ||
| So they were breaching confidentiality on multiple fronts And unlawfully, it appears, coordinating with for-profit companies to suppress the First Amendment rights of American citizens. | ||
| So here's the tweet that so upset her. | ||
| It's me saying hundreds of women on this page say they're having bleeding or clotting after vaccination or that they bleed oddly being around vaccinated women, which actually many, many women were saying And the volunteers, the Pfizer research team volunteers have identified that Pfizer defines the exposure to the vaccine as including inhalation and skin contact as well as sexual intercourse. | ||
| So shedding is a real thing according to Pfizer. | ||
| And then I said, unconfirmed, needs more investigation, but lots of reports. | ||
| And that was what I tweeted. | ||
| And in doing that, I'm doing exactly what I've been doing for 35 years, Steve. | ||
| I'm being an investigative reporter with a primary focus in three previous bestsellers on women's health, women's sexual health, women's reproductive health. | ||
| When hundreds of women report menstrual irregularity, heavy bleeding, extended bleeding, two periods a month, things I won't even go into that are horrible, it's a red flag and you don't need to be a rocket scientist to know that. | ||
| And Brownstone points out that as far as they know, among those targeted was Naomi Wolf, who so far as I know, says the wonderful Jeffrey Tucker was the first to reveal the relationship between vaccination and irregular menstrual patterns. | ||
| For talking about this subject, she was permanently banned from Twitter. | ||
| This direct hit was ordered by the CDC itself. | ||
| Again, the CDC digital director used a law enforcement term, B-O-L-O, be on the lookout. | ||
| So in my book, The Bodies of Others, I describe what happened on the receiving end. | ||
| I didn't have this information from the inside of the CDC at that time, but on the receiving end, I sure felt the massive power of Twitter and Facebook and Google and the United States government at the highest levels slamming down on me for reporting something that was true. | ||
| I was deplatformed from Twitter, but Twitter also apparently took tweets that I'd composed and immediately deleted because they were badly worded. | ||
| They only existed in the ether. | ||
| Twitter kind of resuscitated them somehow, and they also took tweets of mine out of context And then they went to all these news outlets that I've written for, been a columnist for, or that syndicate me for the last 35 years, like The Guardian, like the BBC, people who are getting millions of dollars from the federal government or from the Gates Foundation to engage in COVID education, meaning smearing people like me who raise criticisms of the mRNA vaccines. | ||
| For instance, And then there was this like global smear campaign that my career, I try not to whine, especially not on your show, but my career has not recovered from it. | ||
| I was called bat-ass crazy. | ||
| I was called a conspiracy theorist. | ||
| I was called counterfactual. | ||
| Media Matters came out and attacked me for this accurate reporting. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| Here's what's interesting. | ||
| But here's what's interesting. | ||
| The big proponents of women's rights and women, you know, they did all things. | ||
| She's hysterical. | ||
| She's crazy. | ||
| I mean, they made all the smears they try to make when a woman stands up and says, hey, here's the way it is and puts out the facts. | ||
| That's what I found most fascinating. | ||
| All these proponents, they attacks on you. | ||
| We're 1,000% misogynist. | ||
| I mean, I was kind of stunned how brutally, and quite frankly, you're an apostate, right? | ||
| You used to be part of the club, and now you're saying, hey, you guys are, I don't know what you guys are looking at, but you're not looking at information. | ||
| I've only got so much time. | ||
| I've got to get to this. | ||

Hang on a second. | |
| The CDC, you've got to help me out here. | ||
| The CDC, and I thought this was a parody at first. | ||
| It was like the IRS one ad the other day. | ||
| I thought these were memes up on Getter or on True Social that people are just making up and they're so good. | ||
| The IRS thing, you gotta be ready to lose lethal force. | ||
| We were a day after reporting that because I had to ascertain it was actually true, which it was. | ||
| The CDC, correct me if I'm wrong because I am far from an expert. | ||
| I depend upon guys like you and Malone and all the guys that help us out. | ||
| Did they just come out yesterday and put out a statement that in future treatment or in protecting us, it's no difference between vaccinated and unvaccinated. | ||
| Did I read that correctly? | ||
| Or is that also a parody? | ||
| You know, it sounds like a parody. | ||
| It is tragically true. | ||
| It's literally like the last year and a half of the president and the CDC saying, go ahead and create a two tier Discrimination society, exactly like Jim Crow laws, divide Americans into clean and unclean. | ||
| You know, the unvaccinated can kill you, can kill your mom. | ||
| A winter of death and destruction from the unvaccinated. | ||
| We're losing patients with the unvaccinated. | ||
| You have to stay home. | ||
| You have to lose your career in the military. | ||
| You know, you have to lose your career as a first responder or be forced to have these mRNA injections with your, now we know, catastrophic and lethal possible side effects. | ||
| That all vanished into thin air. | ||
| It's over. | ||
| Oops, sorry, you're fine. | ||
| I just I sent that to my mom and said, please send this to, you know, all of my extended family so that they can stop discriminating against us after a year and a half. | ||
| It's it's like it's like the end of the Wizard of Oz. | ||
| It all vanishes in a puff of smoke. | ||
| And nothing's changed. | ||
| Like the science hasn't changed. | ||
| Vaccinated and unvaccinated people were always Exactly identically a threat or not a threat to everyone else. | ||
| There was no difference We've got as soon as this firestorm and Mar-a-Lago ends We're gonna get you back and we got spend more time of the research everything just real quickly give daily cloud How do people go how they still volunteer how they support and then what's your social media? | ||
| I'll tell you but I want to warn that What I was deplatformed for turns out to have caused predictably Massive miscarriages and spontaneous abortions, which we can talk about next time In the meantime, and that's much more serious than anything that's happened to me professionally or personally. | ||
| In the meantime, you can come to dailyclout.io. | ||
| You can read all the reports right there by the amazing War Room Daily Clout Pfizer research volunteers. | ||
| You can buy the bodies of others in which you can read about my deep platforming and you can find me on there. | ||
| Thank you, Steve. | ||
| I tell you what, Dr. Wolf, we're going to reach out to you here momentarily. | ||
| We'll try to get you on the afternoon show. | ||
| I've got to go through all the new updates. | ||
| It's too vitally important. | ||
| Dr. Naomi Wolf, thank you. | ||
| Okay, Alex Moyer, a great young filmmaker, next in the War Room. | ||

Alex Jones, the story you're about to see is truth. | |
| This is reality. | ||
| Truth is stranger than fiction. | ||
| I'm the most banned, most demonized media person in the world. | ||
| Alex Jones is a fake. | ||
| He's a performance artist. | ||
| I'm perceived as a clown, a nut, a maniac. | ||
| On his website, InfoWars, he touts paranoia porn. | ||
| The sickest, most offensive theories. | ||
| Alex Jones claims that 9-11 and the Oklahoma City bombings were inside jobs. | ||
| Don't you stand for America, sir? | ||

He said me and Hillary are demons. | |
| Ain't that something? | ||
| You'll burn in hell! | ||
| I met him back in 1990. | ||
| I knew right away he was gonna be a star. | ||
| How's my hair look? | ||

unidentified
|
I saw all these conspiracy terrorists that were talking about the New World Order. | |
| And I thought, that's what I'll do. | ||
| Get it, Alex. | ||
| Death to the New World Order! | ||
| It was that attack on humanity that I saw early on that I really wanted to wage war on. | ||
| You're lying to the public. | ||
| It's disgusting. | ||
| Once you taste that, there's no going back. | ||
| Everything's a war. | ||
| That's the way the universe works, and everything is propaganda. | ||
| I don't trust Donald Trump, but I agree with probably 95% of what Donald Trump says. | ||
| Your reputation's amazing. | ||
| I will not let you down. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's when the media took the gloves off. | |
| Alex Jones said the Sandy Hook shooting, which claimed the lives of 20 children, was fake. | ||
| I try to tell the truth and sometimes I'm wrong. | ||
| Did the New York Times get in trouble for consciously lying about WMDs that then led to a war that killed tens of thousands in conflict? | ||
| No. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The attempts of the platformers have failed. | |
| They've had the CIA and the FBI following me around. | ||
| Now we've got to destroy Alex Jones. | ||
| We're not playing games here. | ||
| This is such a historic moment together. | ||
| USA! | ||
| Newark! | ||
| It's all just insane. | ||
| Okay, let's put me in prison for questioning, okay? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Even though that's my right. | |
| In fact, let's execute Alex Jones. | ||
| Let's put me in front of a firing squad, pull the trigger. | ||
| I have a sick feeling, actually. | ||
| Because I know what comes next. | ||
| An absolutely incredible film, Alex's War, about Alex Jones, the good, the bad, and the ugly. | ||
| I want to bring in the brilliant filmmaker, Alex Moyer. | ||
| First off, why Alex Jones? | ||
| Why this time? | ||
| I know how long it takes to make a film, how long you have to be dedicated to it. | ||
| Why did you pick Alex? | ||
| Alex Jones, because it seems like, I would throw it out there, you're maybe not, you don't agree with our underlying political or philosophical beliefs. | ||
| So why would you take a topic that you would have to really live with for so long and make a film about it, ma'am? | ||
| I don't know if, I mean, I don't know where you heard that. | ||
| I fundamentally don't agree with that. | ||
| I personally feel politically homeless, so I don't consider myself a liberal or a conservative. | ||
| But I do care really deeply about free speech. | ||
| And I do care really deeply about authenticity in filmmaking. | ||
| And I'm deeply interested in the culture wars and everything that's happening in this country right now. | ||
| And I thought that what better way to get to the heart of the matter than to make a film about Alex. | ||
| So, it's an extremely motivating topic for me. | ||
| And, you know, it was a lot of fun to do. | ||
| And it was, you know, one of the great adventures of my life. | ||
| How do people get to this film? | ||
| Because, as I told Alex, we're going to do a two-hour special with Alex tomorrow. | ||
| It is absolutely, it's one of the most dynamic films I've seen as a documentary filmmaker. | ||
| You absolutely nail the topic. | ||
| You nail the man. | ||
| I mean, you get to this. | ||
| So how do people actually get access to this so they can see it now? | ||
| Well, you know, by the grace of God, you can watch it on Amazon. | ||
| You can watch it on iTunes. | ||
| We weren't sure that we were going to be allowed access to those platforms because of Alex's situation. | ||
| And although we have been banned from promoting on a lot of the social media platforms, we've been able to keep the film up available for streaming on all those major outlets. | ||
| But it's also available on Rumble, Locals, Rockfin, Odyssey, you know, as a backup. | ||
| And if you want to support some of those smaller platforms. | ||
| As an advocate of free speech, tell me what you learned about this that you didn't know going in. | ||
| As you made this film and had to live with the subject and the man himself, what did you learn about free speech in the United States of America, supposedly the home of free speech? | ||
| I learned that free speech is not necessarily insured to you by the Constitution. | ||
| It's definitely already been, as we've seen, Uh, compromise and chipped away at little by little over the, you know, well for longer than a decade, but it's really kicked into high gear and accelerated now as you of course have experienced yourself, Steve. | ||
| And, uh, I'm just lucky that, um, I was able to get this, this film out there and, um, sort of put Alex within his context and really show that, you know, he, he is sort of, um, what's happened in his life is sort of a watershed event for, Okay, so it's a watershed moment, it's a hinge of history. | ||
| Tell us as you see it, being a filmmaker that's made this, how do you see this topic evolving over the next couple of years, given the social media oligarchs are trying to shut you down, they're shutting Alex Jones down, all of us. | ||
| right now. | ||
| Okay, so it's a watershed moment, it's a hinge of history. | ||
| Tell us as you see it, being a filmmaker that's made this, how do you see this topic evolving over the next couple of years, given the social media oligarchs are trying to shut you down, they're shutting out, shutting down all of us. | ||
| How do you see this developing? | ||
| Well, the strangest thing that I see happening right now is mainstream liberalism and the legacy media convincing people that somehow, almost seemingly overnight, that free speech doesn't matter and that it shouldn't be important to them because if you're not using hate speech, then you don't need to worry about anything happening to your rights. | ||
| But of course, that's all just corporate messaging and It's just kind of amazing, um, how fast they've been able to change the psychological makeup of, of, you know, what we know is a classical liberalism in this country to a group of people who, um, prize themselves on defending free speech to basically advocating censorship, everyday people advocating for censorship. | ||
| So that's been really a disturbing trend to me, but at the same time, what people are noticing is that content is sort of getting more boring, less challenging, less interesting. | ||
| And, uh, you know, in the free market of ideas, I think interesting content is ultimately going to prevail. | ||
| So I do think that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. | ||
| How do people follow you on social media to get to get to the film? | ||
| Well, I, I personally avoid most social media, but you can look at, uh, uh, Alex's war has a Twitter account. | ||
| You can go to Alex's war movie, or I think it's just Alex's war.com is the movie website. | ||
| I'm on Instagram. | ||
| You can search my name and I'll pop right up. | ||
| And then, of course, people should go and stream the movie and keep us on the charts on iTunes and send a message to these platforms that people want to see this kind of content. | ||
| We're going to send a message. | ||
| Two-hour special tomorrow morning starting at 10 o'clock with Alex Jones and myself in the War Room. | ||
| I love that. | ||
| We're going to be rocking and rolling, pushing this film very hard. | ||
| It's a fabulous film. | ||
| Back at 5 o'clock with The Search Warrant. |
