Well the virus has now killed more than a hundred people in China and new cases have been confirmed around the world. | |
| So 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 US, Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam, the list goes on. | ||
| Health officials are investigating more than 100 possible cases in the US. | ||
| Germany, a man has contracted the virus. | ||
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| Japan, where a bus driver contracted the virus. | ||
| Coronavirus has killed more than 100 people there and infected more than 4,500. | ||
| We have to prepare for the worst, always. | ||
| Because if you don't and the worst happens, War Room. | ||

Pandemic. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| It's Thursday, 25 August, Year of Our Lord 2022. | ||
| Massive breaking news this afternoon. | ||
| I want to go to Tom Fitton, the head of Judicial Watch. | ||
| The magistrate judge made a decision today. | ||
| Tom, can you tell our audience, you and the New York Times and others, but you and the New York Times are the tip of the spear to go in and want this document. | ||
| Walk through what your objective was at the beginning. | ||
| What is the magistrate's ruling today? | ||
| Well, in this case, the New York Times followed our lead. | ||
| We leapt to immediate action once we saw this abusive political raid of Trump's home. | ||
| We immediately asked for the court to unseal the warrant and the supporting materials. | ||
| We knew there'd be likely an affidavit. | ||
| The Justice Department was forced into releasing the warrant initially. | ||
| Uh, and then the court wanted answers from the D O J about this affidavit discussion and ordered the Justice Department and rejected the Justice Department's efforts to keep this material completely sealed and said, Look, there's material here that can be unsealed despite what you're saying. | ||
| So we're gonna see what's unsealed tomorrow, because the court has been satisfied that the material they've released Uh, is obviously appropriate, and the material that haven't released is also appropriate. | ||
| And so we'll see what's released, and then we'll see if we need to fight more for transparency. | ||
| It's my position, Steve, that you can't raid a president's home for secret reasons. | ||
| It's as simple as that. | ||
| And what's been out there, the modified limited hangout, Shows they really have contempt for the court process because they're telling the court, we need secrecy. | ||
| We don't want anyone to know what we know and who we talk to. | ||
| While at the same time, they're leaking all of that directly to their media allies. | ||
| And, you know, they expect us, the American people, to be satisfied with whatever they tell us as they take this unprecedented move, in my view, against the Republican form of government by targeting the president on such Specious grounds. | ||
| Well, the magistrate really agreed with you, at least in that he said it was unprecedented. | ||
| Tom, this is not your first rodeo in affidavits and FISA and search warrants. | ||
| Give us your background and why you're so skeptical and kind of cynical about what the FBI is in this affidavit and what the FBI actually told the magistrate. | ||
| Well, they lied to spy on Trump, this FBI, this Justice Department. | ||
| With these FISA warrants, I think, what's the count? | ||
| 17 material omissions or misstatements in those FISA warrants that resulted in the spying on Carter and indirectly on Trump. | ||
| And of course, there was all sorts of gamesmanship with direct spying on Trump through the FBI. | ||
| And then, you know, directly, we had fought this very issue over Bill Clinton's sock drawer tapes. | ||
| He kept tapes of conversations that an author had recorded of The conversations he had with members of Congress and foreign leaders, which are presumptively classified. | ||
| And we took the position the Justice Department's now taking. | ||
| Look, he's got these records. | ||
| The archives should go after them. | ||
| And the Justice Department came back and they said, if he has those records, they're presumptively personal. | ||
| And the court found that the president's decision-making in terms of presidential versus personal and what he keeps is something that can't be second-guessed by the court or the archives. | ||
| And I saw early on and back in February, they turned on a dime and started pretending that the records the president had at his home were government records, and they weren't. | ||
| And my view, Steve, you should never turn anything over, at least under the rubric that they had, which was that these were presidential records and or classified. | ||
| You should have said, look, these are my personal record. | ||
| If you want to keep them because you're concerned about security issues or, you know, or you for history, I'm happy to give them to you. | ||
| And voluntarily share these personal records with you, but they're mine, and I'm giving you to them voluntarily. | ||
| And that wasn't the approach his team took, and lo and behold, he ended up getting raped. | ||
| Tom, I'm going to ask you to hang on a second. | ||
| I'm going to go to Boris Epstein. | ||
| Before I go to Boris, given the rapidity at which the judge made the decision today, is, in your mind, Judicial Watch, is this at least where we stand until we see the redaction? | ||
| Is this a victory so far? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It is. | |
| The warrant typically would never have been released. | ||
| The affidavit, they did not want to release at all. | ||
| So we have more information than we otherwise would have. | ||
| And obviously, we want more transparency because the Justice Department really has no good faith reason to hide this from the American people, because, as I said, they've been leaking. | ||
| And the public interest outweighs any interest they have in keeping this material secret. | ||
| You can't rate a president's home and expect people to be quiet about it and not demand accountability and transparency. | ||
| And the court should recognize that and use its powers as it has to release this stuff publicly. | ||
| There's nothing under law that requires that any of this be kept secret. | ||
| This is all discretionary on the part of the Justice Department and ultimately the court. | ||
| Tom, hang on for one second. | ||
| I'll bring Boris Epstein in by phone. | ||
| Boris, give us your assessment. | ||
| I know you're in important meetings today. | ||
| Give us your assessment of the drug. | ||
| Because I think we talked to you earlier. | ||
| You thought the magistrate might take a couple of days even to decide. | ||
| Give us your update on your thinking. | ||
| Steve, thank you so much. | ||
| I'm honored to be with you. | ||
| I'm honored to be with the War on Posse today. | ||
| The judge obviously had his mind largely made up that the proposed redactions You know, unless they were overwhelming, as he said before, we're going to be what he approved. | ||
| We'll see tomorrow. | ||
| I think it's very tough to judge, you know, to judge and assess as of now, you know, just how extensive this is going to be and what we'll see in the affidavit. | ||
| Here's what I will tell you, that what you're going to see in the affidavit and the application is absolutely incorrect as it applies to President Trump, because these statutes that were used Do not include the only statute applying to President Trump, and that's the Presidential Records Act. | ||
| The PRA, the Presidential Records Act, is the only statute which has any application at all on dot, dot, dot, presidential records. | ||
| Well, guess what? | ||
| The Presidential Records Act also does not have an enforcement mechanism. | ||
| Because of that lack of enforcement mechanism, what you have here is the GOJ corruptly doing an end-around, a circumvention of that act. | ||
| And throwing out these other acts which did not apply to President Trump in any way whatsoever. | ||
| And that is what the posse should expect to see in this affidavit. | ||
| And further than that, this judge likely, as it appears from his orders, feels that he was either duped, fooled, or forced to sign this warrant. | ||
| Because this warrant not only applied the wrong statutes, which don't apply to President Trump, It's also overwhelmingly likely that the affidavit did not include the multiple instances of full and utter cooperation between the apical agencies. | ||
| The Archivist, the DOJ, and President Trump and his team. | ||
| And if that affidavit, if what we see, if the version we see tomorrow does not let it be known for the whole world that there was full cooperation between President Trump and his team and every apical agency, we will have to assume That that information was not given to the judge, and that act of omission was used by the DOJ for the un-American, unwarranted, unnecessary, and unlawful raid and break-in of the President's home, beautiful Mar-a-Lago. | ||
| I just want to make sure I get this correctly. | ||
| You're saying that the affidavit tomorrow will show one of three things. | ||
| He was either duped, fooled, or forced to agree to this search warrant. | ||
| Is that what I'm hearing? | ||
| That's what I expect to see because we know for a fact, we know for a fact that there was full compliance and cooperation from President Trump and his team with the National Archives, with the DOJ, and there was absolutely no need for this unwarranted, unnecessary, and unconstitutional break-in of the President's home. | ||
| And we know that the DOJ has a long and extensive history of omission and commission in these affidavit and warrant applications. | ||
| Look at FISA. | ||
| Look at General Flynn, look at Carter Page, so on and so forth. | ||
| So again, I fully expect that this affidavit, the application for the warrant, if it is left unredacted enough, will show that this judge should have never signed that warrant. | ||
| Beyond that, if what we see tomorrow does not fully spell out, and if the judge did it, they should leave it unredacted. | ||
| If it doesn't spell out, That there was full cooperation between President Trump and the DOJ. | ||
| It doesn't talk about the June 3rd meeting where President Trump said, let us know if you need anything else. | ||
| If it doesn't have that in there, that means that the DOJ lied to the judge by omitting that vital information. | ||
| Before we go back to Tom Fenton, Boris, I know you got to jump back in your meetings. | ||
| Any update you can give us? | ||
| You're not really a party to today's events, but tomorrow you're making your finalings in the Southern District of Florida. | ||
| Any updates on the finalings? | ||
| Those filings are very important, Stephen. | ||
| What those requests from Judge Cannon are, Judge Cannon, a judge in the Southern District of Florida, sits in Fort Pierce. | ||
| What those are, are requests for supplemental motions. | ||
| You're going to see robust information that again lays out that the acts applied in the warrant were wrong, that spells out why the special master appointment has to go through the district court as it has been done in the Southern District of New York. | ||
| And why this judge, Judge Cannon, has the proper jurisdiction over this case, vis-a-vis Judge Reinhardt, who wrongfully approved that warrant. | ||
| And you are correct, Stephen. | ||
| Tom Pitt and Judicial Watch have been doing a great job on this. | ||
| The President, who has made his position very clear publicly about Judge Reinhardt and the need for him to recuse himself because, A, he's recused himself before, and B, because of his very negative and obviously biased statements against President Trump. | ||
| President Trump and his legal team are not a party to this motion practice to these To these filings regarding the affidavit the filing for filing so president Trump and his team are to come tomorrow Boris, what's your social media people can follow you? | ||
| Know that about it Steve Lots happening. | ||
| Pleasure to be here. | ||
| It's an honor to be updating the War Room Posse on President Trump standing up for America, standing up for our Constitution, and standing up for all presidents. | ||
| This isn't just about President Trump. | ||
| This is about all presidents. | ||
| And they're right not to be railroaded by a politicized, weaponized law enforcement. | ||
| BorisCP.com is the website, hot on BorisCP.com, hot on Getter at BorisCP, on Twitter at BorisCP, hot on True Social at Boris, and the hottest on the gram, Boris underscore Epstein. | ||
| Stay strong, God bless, and I'll talk to you tomorrow. | ||
| Thank you, Boris. | ||
| My beloved father, who just passed away at 100 years old earlier this year, was a longtime donor to Judicial Watch and would always tell me, particularly during the Obama years, when Eric Holder, he said, you know, Tom Fitton really runs the People's Justice Department. | ||
| And he said, Tom Fitton is the single best man in Washington, D.C. | ||
| Tom, and that's a pretty high remark of where I come from. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Do you buy what Boris just said that you're going to see tomorrow with the details in this affidavit that you quite frankly broke free here, the New York Times kind of drafted off you, that the magistrate was either duped, fooled, or forced into signing the search warrant? | ||
| Yeah, I don't know. | ||
| You know, forced. | ||
| It's hard to force a judge to do anything. | ||
| But when you present material in a dishonest way to the court, and this is where I think the breakdown in honesty is going to emerge once this affidavit is released, and it will be released, I think, eventually in large measure, is that they told the judge, they told the magistrate, this is classified material. | ||
| These are presidential records. | ||
| This is government property. | ||
| And as I've highlighted, that's a disputed legal assertion. | ||
| And it's one that is at odds with prior Justice Department and Archives decision-making, and the Court's decisions previously on this in D.C. | ||
| Amy Berman Jackson, one of the most liberal judges here up in D.C., found, you know, the Archives has no role in determining what records are what. | ||
| Who are we kidding here? | ||
| And if they didn't tell the court that there's a dispute here as to whether these are government versus personal records, then he was due. | ||
| But, you know, in the end, look, they got away with spying on an incoming president, spying on a president, and I suspect they're willing to do anything because they think they'll get away with raiding his home based on a sham reading of the law and dishonesty with the court. | ||
| That's the day you're in when you don't have this accountability. | ||
| They'll keep on doing it until they're really held accountable as people who make it. | ||
| Hang on one second. | ||
| I'll go to a short break. | ||
| Tom Fitton on the other side. | ||

War Room. | |
| Pandemic. | ||
| When there's no more, let's take down the T.T.P. | ||
| War Room. Pandemic. With Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| War Room. | ||
| Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| You know, where the economy's going and where all this is going, there's no easy solutions. | ||
| They've got this thing so ground up. | ||
| It's, as we said, the military foobar, right? | ||
| And since it's a family program, I can't walk you through the details of that. | ||
| But Dave, I just want to make sure everybody understands this and that I keep saying these are not physical properties of the universe that have us here. | ||
| These are decisions made by decision makers. | ||
| When you said EDF in the French, that's essentially the French nuclear power industry that one time was considered almost the top of the game, right? | ||
| That's in bankruptcy. | ||
| They've now nationalized it. | ||
| And they had to do that because if that went offline, France would go turn turtle on us. | ||
| Germany has shut down essentially their nuclear power industry because of Greta Thunberg, an angry 13-year-old. | ||
| And Fukushima, the Japanese are at least rational I think it was 10 or 11 years ago. | ||
| That is officially getting stood up today. | ||
| Am I correct in that? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They had 48 operating reactors. | ||
| They've reopened about 35. | ||
| When they're done in two years, only three won't be reopened. | ||
| So they've very aggressively, actively moved forward to restart. | ||
| They're essentially important. | ||
| Nuclear power program, and during this whole hiatus since Fukushima, they built 13 advanced supercritical coal plants. | ||
| The company I was on, a corporate officer of the global company that did that, Mitsubishi Heavy, we built 10 of them. | ||
| So Japan has also moved in the direction of coal since Fukushima, have a diversified energy mix, baseload power, so they can industrially continue to compete with China. | ||
| They have done the right thing. | ||
| They can do the math also. | ||
| I mean, they know where energy costs are going for natural gas and all that. | ||
| These people are not fools. | ||
| And Dave's very nice in the ways he says it in the technical thing. | ||
| It's solar and wind are great concepts, but they're essentially just concepts. | ||
| They're not real as far as real baseload power goes. | ||
| Adults in an industrial society cannot make decisions based upon the small increments of wind and solar. | ||
| That may be fine decades from now, and people can work towards that, but the people making decisions about this on wind and solar is just ludicrous. | ||
| It's one of the reasons the economy is absolutely, completely jammed up. | ||
| Dave Walsh, how do people get to you on social media? | ||
| How do they follow you? | ||
| Steve, it's Dave Walsh, Energy. | ||
| Appreciate it. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Thank you, Dave. | ||
| By the way, the story he was talking about in Bloomberg that Cortez and I were analyzing the other day, 20 million households in the United States right now could have their power cut off by, I think, October. | ||
| They're so far behind in their electric bill because it's so high. | ||
| And what Dave was saying, when they were building these in third world countries, you would have like a 15% margin, understanding that people would just have to go get the energy, would never pay you, because they didn't have the money. | ||
| He said, that's essentially, the U.S. | ||
| right now has kind of got third world pricing reality to it. | ||
| Because you're going to have 10, 15, maybe 20% of the people just can't afford it. | ||
| Not going to be able to pay it. | ||
| Let's go to, as this is going on, we always want to make sure we understand that the Frankenstein monster we've created, the World Economic Forum and the Wall Street tycoons have created, with our mortal enemy, the CCP, the Chinese financial economy, particularly real estate, is imploding before our eyes. | ||
| So the tanks are not in Tiananmen Square. | ||
| The tanks are in front of the Bank of China, Henan province. | ||
| I want to go to Frank Gaffney. | ||
| Frank, you guys have been doing these incredible seminars every day about internal threats of how the CCP's gotten internally to us, and then you do an external threat. | ||
| Walk us through, and I want to make sure everybody goes and gets the library and the archive. | ||
| Because where this is headed, you know, it had Gordon Chang and Thayer on yesterday, Thayer's back today. | ||
| You know, unrestricted warfare, which they've been doing very well on, on the cyber, the information, the economic, they're heading rapidly towards a kinetic confrontation with the United States. | ||
| Frank Gaffney. | ||
| They are indeed. | ||
| If I could just make it one additional point, Steve, you held up your book, The last item I think it is in the unrestricted warfare list, listed in that book dated 1999, was about adding biological warfare to the techniques that they use to take us down. | ||
| Unrestricted warfare, not quite kinetic, but definitely murderous. | ||
| About a million of us so far. | ||
| ccpatwar.com is a great place to get this book for free. | ||
| You, Steve, mentioned that we're doing it every day. | ||
| It just seems like it's every day. | ||
| It's Tuesdays and Thursdays. | ||
| Thursdays, we have drilled down now for, I think, about three months on those sorts of techniques, the various ways in which the Chinese Communist Party is very deliberately, very patiently, very comprehensively working to subvert us. | ||
| And mostly, we're unaware that that's even happening. | ||
| You mentioned the financial sector's enabling of all of this. | ||
| What's even more outrageous, which most of us, again, are even less clued up about, is that it's our money they're using to do this. | ||
| It's not these oligarchs and tycoons. | ||
| It's our money. | ||
| It's our pension funds. | ||
| It's our 401k plans and so on. | ||
| When we add that into the mix, we decided that we would do a separate series at 1 o'clock on Tuesdays, 1 o'clock on Thursdays, 1 o'clock on Tuesdays, Eastern Time, to look at who these guys are. | ||
| Who are the people that are enabling this mortal enemy, as you said, the enemy's foreign, the enemy's domestic. | ||
| We did a terrific program earlier this week in which we talked with a number of the folks who are very much You know, rock stars in the War Room Pantheon, Brian Kennedy, Trevor Loudon, Kevin Freeman, Jerry Boykin, and Brad Thayer, who's going to be with us again shortly. | ||
| This was about a kind of report card on what not just individuals or corporate leaders or others, the United States government, is doing to enable the Chinese Communist Party's war against us. | ||
| It was looking at what Team Biden is doing to enable our mortal enemy to pose an ever greater threat. | ||
| It was stupendous, chilling, but stupendous and really required viewing. | ||
| And that can be obtained for free at presentdangerchina.org. | ||
| Today, we don't have the video up just yet, but we will shortly. | ||
| We did another one about this wolf-warrior diplomacy, as it's called, as an example of the kinds of techniques that the Chinese are using to attack us. | ||
| In this case, to attack us rhetorically. | ||
| But the trouble is, as an extraordinary group of people, including Matt Pottinger, who was a deputy national security advisor, two former undersecretaries, one of state, one of defense, Bob Joseph and Doug Feith, | ||
| Robert Charles, an assistant secretary of state, and our own Grant Newsom talked about the fact that we are not pushing back when they use belligerent rhetoric, when they demean our country, when they attack | ||
| Frank, the Chinese ambassador to the United States just took 90 minutes at a press conference in the nation's capital of the United States of America, not Beijing, to essentially lecture the American government like it's a tributary state, Frank Gaffney. | ||
| That was the most recent example of this phenomenon of wolf-warrior diplomacy, and you've talked about it here on the program, Stephen. | ||
| It inspired that particular webinar. | ||
| And what the consensus of these very experienced national security practitioners were, if you don't push back when a bully is punching you in the nose, rhetorically at the moment in this case, You're going to get a lot more punches in the nose. | ||
| Count on it. | ||
| And so what we really, I think, laid out here is not only that there's a grievous shortfall in protecting our vital interests, but it is going to translate into more belligerent behavior as well. | ||
| Hang on. | ||
| Just stay right there. | ||
| Brother, what I want to make, it's all free. | ||
| Tuesdays is the internal threat and the internal how we're being played and infiltrated. | ||
| And Thursdays is the external. | ||
| Just hold on there and it's all free and we're going to do some concise videos around that to compress it. | ||
| It's so grateful. | ||
| I want to go to Thayer. | ||
| Thayer, your piece in American Greatness, I had to bring you back from yesterday, because you talk about the Financial Times of London is the tip sheet. | ||
| of the guys that got us in this jam. | ||
| The City of London and Wall Street and the Party of Davos. | ||
| You called it the other day. | ||
| They actually had an editorial where they said, you know, the China and the Chinese Communist Party we think is kind of a threat to the West. | ||
| You call it their road to Damascus. | ||
| What did you mean? | ||
| Steve, thanks for having me on again to follow up. | ||
| Like Paul on the road to Damascus, right, before Christ converted him and he became, of course, one of the greatest Christians, it seems the Financial Times has gone through something quite similar. | ||
| After decade after decade of touting the advantages of investing in China and employing the China market, the Financial Times very recently, as you observe, Seems to recognize that China now is a threat to the United States, a fundamental threat to the United States. | ||
| So what's the cause of this damaging conversion? | ||
| They're very rare in international politics, right? | ||
| History records one, and that was Paul. | ||
| Is the Financial Times going through another one? | ||
| And is that symptomatic of a bigger change? | ||
| And that is big finance waking up to the China threat, which is the critical question. | ||
| And so, despite the Financial Times, of course, very important newspaper, as you well know, and as your audience knows, the mouthpiece, really for big, one of the mouthpieces for big finance, it's a very significant editorial that they ran. | ||
| But the evidence is still very mixed, whether or not big finance is waking up to this threat. | ||
| And as Frank just mentioned, as Frank Gaffney just mentioned, We're still investing in China. | ||
| Wall Street is still investing in China very heavily, allowing the CCP and the People's Liberation Army to raise, to participate on our financial markets, to raise money, to build weapons, to strengthen their capability, to undermine our allies and to threaten the American people itself. | ||
| So we have a long way to go. | ||
| in this issue before we can ensure that... | ||
| Dr. Thayer, did the Financial Times in London mention anything in there about... | ||
| If we shut them off from the capital markets, from the equity and debt markets of the West, and throw in a little technology, the CCP would collapse in 90 days. | ||
| days, did they offer any recommendations and they say, hey, there are problem. | ||
| They after any in the in the solutions are right there in front of you to avoid a kinetic war. Did they offer up anything about cutting them off from capital markets in the West? | ||
| Steve, they did not, because they're still very reluctant to take that step to what that what they should do, of course, and what ultimately they will do if a war breaks out, of course, if a kinetic war breaks out between China and the United States. But they did not offer that. | ||
| They're still reticent about decoupling, and decoupling in any form, from China. | ||
| So they still aren't converted. | ||
| I think it's quite fair to say, despite the hope that they've offered big finances still, Dr. Thayer, hang on for one second. | ||
| We're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| Frank Gaffney, Dr. Thayer. | ||
| We're going to get General Bolduc in here. | ||
| I'm going to throw it out there. | ||
| I think they're not decoupling because they're still making too much freaking money, right? | ||
| They're still making too much freaking money and putting the deplorables' money at work to finance our enemy. | ||
| Nobody in history ...has ever had the working class people in its country finance their own demise. | ||
| We've never financed, ever financed, a mortal existential threat. | ||
| Except in the United States, in the West, in the latter part of the 20th, in the early 21st century. | ||
| And, thank God, at least the Financial Times woke up to the fact they're an existential threat now. | ||
| We gotta do something about it. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| Gaffney, Sayre, Bollick, all next. | ||

Let's take down the T.T.P. | |
| War Room. Pandemic. With Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| War Room. | ||
| Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| We've got Tom Fitton with us at Judicial Watch. | ||
| Tom, I just want to give people some perspective. | ||
| You really rose to prominence taking on Eric Holder every day, fast and furious. | ||
| I mean, the battles you had during the Obama administration at Judicial Watch were nothing short of epic. | ||
| And now with Garland. | ||
| Walk our audience through it. | ||
| Compare Obama's Justice Department with Garland. | ||
| And was there any relief in the four years of Trump in the Justice Department, sir? | ||
| There was some mild relief because of the president's personal commitment to transparency that sometimes forced out the documents, despite the insistence of his own political appointees in the Justice Department, not only under Jeff Sessions, but under H.G. | ||
| Barr. | ||
| Look, I mean, we were in court earlier this year fighting the Biden administration over the key document that was used to open up the spying on Trump. | ||
| The memo written to himself by Strzok, authorizing himself to spy on Trump. | ||
| Incredible, incredible corruption. | ||
| And we were fighting them tooth and nail on what gets released. | ||
| And, you know, I couldn't, the disappointing thing obviously was fighting, but also remembering that we probably would have had the same type of battle with the prior Justice Department. | ||
| The resting state of the deep state is secrecy. | ||
| And there has to be a proactive commitment by the president, and we had that with Trump, but also by his appointees to transparency, especially about these matters of corruption. | ||
| And as far as I'm concerned, the Justice Department and the FBI can't be trusted to prosecute a jaywalking case, let alone anything sensitive like this. | ||
| And it's because of this contempt for the people's right to know in large measure. | ||
| In addition to the corruption that's being covered up with their illicit secrecy. | ||
| Let me be brutally frank. | ||
| The New York Times and other media companies are party to this, but if Tom Fenton and the Judicial Watch, as you often say, had not taken the lead and been all over this, you essentially shamed them into coming in on this. | ||
| So this is your baby. | ||
| What do you anticipate tomorrow in the redaction and where does Judicial Watch go in this endeavor? | ||
| Well, you know, to where we have information will be information designed to make Donald Trump look bad. | ||
| So that's virtually guaranteed. | ||
| But we'll see. | ||
| You know, this is the modified limited hangout approach to disclosure of corrupt government action by the Garland Justice Department. | ||
| You know, it's interesting. | ||
| They released information essentially accusing Trump of a crime. | ||
| Without fully disclosing the other documents they used to justify this raid, which is, again, was unprecedented. | ||
| And I think eventually what you're going to see is they manufactured a document dispute based on a purposeful and malicious misreading of the law to try to jail, obviously, to raid his home as part of an effort to jail and prosecute him. | ||
| And it doesn't get any simpler than that. | ||
| And my concern about this, Steve, is that, you know, we talk about Ukraine and China and such. | ||
| You know, you got to wonder what the leaders in foreign capitals are thinking when they look at what's going on in this country. | ||
| It's extremely destabilizing to America standing in the world because they see a president raid the home of another president. | ||
| And they recognize that because, you know, many of those countries, that's far for the course. | ||
| It wasn't supposed to be the American way, though, and they must be worried. | ||
| Our enemies may be looking at us thinking, what are they up to there? | ||
| And our friends must be thinking, oh, is America falling? | ||
| Tom, how do people follow you on social media and how do they get to Judicial Watch to learn more about it? | ||
| And if they're so interested, donate. | ||
| Yeah, they can go to judicialwatch.org. | ||
| We're all over social media, despite being banned here and again. | ||
| But we're on Twitter, Judicial Watch, Tom Fitton. | ||
| We're on Getter. | ||
| We're on True Social, Facebook and YouTube and Rumble everywhere. | ||
| We're everywhere, Steve. | ||
| We got to be everywhere because we can't see any ground to the media and to the big tech and to the left, because if that were the case, they'd have us all in the, you know, the corners of the Internet that no one could ever see. | ||
| Tom, honored. | ||
| Great work. | ||
| Looking forward to talking tomorrow and good luck tomorrow. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Tom Fitton is a judicial watch, and like I said, if it had not been for Tom Fitton and these guys move with alacrity, they are action, action, action. | ||
| If they had not moved on this, we wouldn't be anywhere. | ||
| And the mainstream media has been drifting, and they're saying, oh yeah, we're fighting for enforcement. | ||
| It's all crap. | ||
| The Judicial Watch shamed them, and that's why they're at this. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| There's so much to go through. | ||
| Breaking news all over, but one is on the economy. | ||
| Dave Walsh, I just want to... There's all kind of debates now about what the second quarter was. | ||
| Is it less recession? | ||
| You know, we did a big economic analysis today. | ||
| In the six o'clock hour, we're going to go through with Dave Brat once again and drill down on this productivity issue. | ||
| Everything, though, gets back to energy. | ||
| I just want you to put it in perspective right now. | ||
| Where do you think we are? | ||
| We just passed this $800 billion bill. | ||
| Everybody's yammering about where the economy is. | ||
| To cut to the heart of it, Where are we on the energy policy right now? | ||
| The only thing that's going to get us out of this is not going to be tomorrow from Jackson Hole, Wyoming. | ||
| It's not going to be any pearls of wisdom from Powell in the Fed. | ||
| It's going to be our energy assets and our resources. | ||
| Where do you think we stand today in the United States, sir? | ||
| Gasoline at the pump, demand destruction. | ||
| We're down about 9% year-on-year in gasoline demand, which has, you know, aided price reductions mainly. | ||
| That's been the main driver of price reductions. | ||
| So that the GDP growth being negative, I'm going to suggest is understated, the decline. | ||
| The recession is here, in the view of most of us. | ||
| We left off yesterday. | ||
| Probably five quick things could be done by the administration to, okay, we've got massive exportation of natural gas. | ||
| That's good for the balance of trade. | ||
| In the longer run, that is part of energy dominance. | ||
| But what can be done that we can do both? | ||
| Serve our domestic clients, our domestic folks. | ||
| In the face of these 16 billion of late payments now to utilities, broadcast yesterday by Bloomberg, 18% higher bills, 20% higher in Japan, 36% higher in the Eurozone, 52% higher in the UK for electricity. | ||
| What can we do here? | ||
| Suspend the EPA blocks on fracking, New York blocks on fracking, the issues raised in the Permian Basin on NOx emissions by the EPA. | ||
| Suspend those. | ||
| Free up fracking, free up natural gas production, free up oil production in the Gulf offshore. | ||
| Open up these domestic pipelines. | ||
| We talked yesterday about the Mountain Valley Pipeline, the Atlantic Coast Pipeline, Michigan Pipeline No. | ||
|

|
5. | |
| And I'm going to concede, possibly on exportation, the DOE has to approve the exportation levels from the major LNG terminals. | ||
| We could, during a crisis such as this, look at maybe a 7 to 3 ratio of, you know, mandating 70% domestic utilization for every 30% exported. | ||
| and have some balance with the supply of natural gas for a time, hopefully not forever. | ||
| But then also, and this would be deadly to the left, shift subsidization now from non-reliable, intermittent resources that aren't helping us, part-time solar and wind, over to natural gas production and coal. | ||
| Move forward with that for the time being. | ||
| We need more energy diversity and baseload continuous duty sources. | ||
| Coal is one. | ||
| Let's move forward with that and look at subsidization for the time being to restart that. | ||
| Along with subsidization to support natural gas elevation, if we're going to remain on the path of exporting 28 billion cubic feet per day, which we're headed to, and it's Europe exportation on which we're making a great deal of money, let's subsidize kicking that into higher gear. | ||
| Finally, moving to motivate NATO members, the EU, to develop the North Sea again, get back to 10 million barrels a day production and associated natural gas out of the North Sea, develop the natural gas fields and frack in Lower Saxony in Germany and Poland, Move forward with that. | ||
| We need to motivate them to think about harvesting their energy resources. | ||
| We don't have time to play it, but Macron just came out yesterday and said we're at the end of the era of abundance, and we're at the beginning of the era of scarcity, and people are going to have to realize they're going to have to make sacrifices, not just to defend democracy in Ukraine, but also just in the way they live. | ||
| That mentality, we're at the end of the era of abundance. | ||
| Is that a law of physical property, dealing with our energy? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Is that because of human action, sir? | ||
| It's because of human action. | ||
| It's because of the increased and increased dependence, particularly in Western Europe, the average country there, 19 to 28 percent dependent on renewables that are part-time intermittent and basically don't work and are non-reliable. | ||
| You've got this energy cost and energy shortage issue along with the Greta, if you will, push that has caused North Sea oil production to diminish by 65%. | ||
| That's a self-inflicted wound. | ||
| We haven't run out of oil in the North Sea, nor natural gas. | ||
| Germany has natural gas fields. | ||
| Let's pursue that. | ||
| We don't have to have self-inflicted shortages. | ||
| And then what he's done, he also helped bankrupt EDF so he could take it over. | ||
| Electricity de France is now the country-owned, nationalized utility. | ||
| Was a private company. | ||
| He put price caps on their wholesale prices twice last year and then this year. | ||
| Cost them 8.6 billion euro this year, about 5 billion euro of losses last year. | ||
| EDF, so he's now taking it over and nationalized it. | ||
| So, I mean, their efforts and his commentary is weak. | ||
| The decisions they've made are causing this, in large part, on the abandonment of the production, not the use of, but the production of natural gas and oil, specifically. | ||
| Dave, can you hang on for a second? | ||
| I want to hold you through the break. | ||
| We've got Dr. Bradley Thayer, we've got Frank Gaffney, General Bolduc's going to be up. | ||
| We're on the eve of tomorrow is the first year anniversary we're going to commemorate of the heroic 13 that gave their life at Abbey Gate in Kabul, Afghanistan. | ||
| We're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| Dave Walsh will be on the other side, Dr. Bradley Thayer, Frank Gaffney, and General Don Bolduc. | ||
| All next in the War Room. | ||

| Of course, War Room, myself, I'm putting it up 24-7. | ||
| Frank Gaffney, closing observations. | ||
| We've got General Bolduc coming on in a second. | ||
| General Bolduc, you should know, which did such a great job in the... | ||
| Last year, and we're going to play a bunch of this tomorrow, as we talk about Extraction Under Fire one year after the heroic 13 that gave their life at the Abbey Gate. | ||
| General Bolduc went yard last night in this debate in New Hampshire. | ||
| I don't know who out there in the New Hampshire establishment doesn't think Don Bolduc can stand up and bench press anybody on that stage as a political figure. | ||
| So we're going to put that one to bed. | ||
| Frank Efny. | ||
| Truly great American. | ||
| Steve, I just wanted to close this out. | ||
| You know, the thing that the Financial Times hasn't reckoned with is everybody's going to lose all of their money when the Chinese go to war with us. | ||
| They better wake up. | ||
| There's a game going on now that I just wanted to present as signal not noise, Steve. | ||
| The Wall Street Journal is reporting that they're very close now. | ||
| So-called Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, PCAOB, with fashioning some new scam to allow the Chinese to continue to list companies in our country without subjecting them to a full audit here in the United States. | ||
| What's the scam? | ||
| They're going to let them do it in Hong Kong. | ||
| What's wrong with that? | ||
| Well, first of all, it pretends that there is a Hong Kong that's different from China now. | ||
| That's not so. | ||
| Second of all, it puts our auditors at risk. | ||
| Who's going to go over there and conflict with what the Chinese say? | ||
| Nobody. | ||
| And third, of course, there's no substitute for doing full audits with all of the workpapers here. | ||
| That must be the bottom line. | ||
| No substitutes. | ||
| Don't even think about it. | ||
| PCAOB. | ||
| OK, we'll get to more of this in the next couple of days. | ||
| What's the social media, Frank? | ||
| So many, so few times. | ||
| CCPatWar.com for the book and for where you can get the brief about China. | ||
| PresentDangerChina.com. | ||
| It's outrageous. | ||
| We're financing them and they're trying to look at every workaround to get around that. | ||
| Dr. Thayer, how can people get you? | ||
| Your piece on American greatness is amazing. | ||
| How can people get to you? | ||
| People can reach me at the CenterForSecurityPolicy.org. | ||
| Okay, and I want to make sure everybody understands, we're going to get up Tuesdays the internal threat, Thursdays the external. | ||
| But what Frank just said there, Think about it. | ||
| They're financing it with your cash. | ||
| And now, Biden, as we finally got some delistings, Sinopec and some others, delistings on the New York Stock Exchange. | ||
| What are they doing? | ||
| They're playing games again about how to, oh yeah, we'll just let them list in Hong Kong. | ||
| Hong Kong, they took it over. | ||
| It's China now. | ||
| It's just like mainland China. | ||
| What's an accountant going to go over there and argue with the political operative? | ||
| The comrade that's in the cadre that's in the company that's supposed to report back? | ||
| They'll be in some gulag somewhere. | ||
| It's absurd. | ||
| Bradley Thayer, thank you so much. | ||
| Great piece on the Financial Times of London. | ||
| The tip sheet of Wall Street, the Party of Davos, the World Economic Forum, all of it. | ||
| Let's play. | ||
| Can we play the clip? | ||
| We don't have General Bulldog tracking down, but I've got to play this clip last night from the debate in New Hampshire. | ||

Thank you. | |
| I believe what separates me from the other candidates up here is my connection with the Granite Staters. | ||
| I've been campaigning for two years. | ||
| I've been in every town and city. | ||
| Granite Staters are angry. | ||
| They are hurting. | ||
| Moms are making decisions on whether they should eat a meal or not eat a meal so their children can. | ||
| We have health care decisions to make. | ||
| They are hurting, and I have seen it, and I share that with them. | ||
| And what really perplexes me is this. | ||
| The very people that shut us down, the very people that caused all our problems at the local, state, and federal level are now standing in front of you, asking you for a vote, asking you to elect them, or asking you to re-elect them. | ||
| I say hell no to that. | ||
| They need to be held accountable and responsible for what they have not done. | ||
| And that is take care of you. | ||
| And I will do that. | ||
| God bless you and thank you. | ||
| General Bullock went from private, he's from the Grand Estate, live free or die, New Hampshire. | ||
| He was a private, he was a sergeant. | ||
| Then they sent him to college, the Army was so impressed by his leadership as a young man, they sent him to college. | ||
| He's one of the few generals, post-World War II, to go from basically an enlisted man, as a private, all the way to general. | ||
| And he's got a storied career as Special Forces, and he was terrific last year in helping us explain, which we're going to get into tomorrow, And think about it, it's been one year ago we were doing these specials on Extraction Under Fire and one year ago that these 13 heroes gave their life unnecessarily, thrown away by the Biden administration. | ||
| They gave the ultimate sacrifice defending their country and doing what was right. | ||
| But this administration, this regime proved everything that they are during that time and it's only gotten worse since then. | ||
| So we're going to have Jason Jones, we're going to have Frank Gaffney, we're going to have General Bolduc, Eric Prince, everybody. | ||
| We're going to get down, drill down, what's happened in the year after that across the world, globally, to make it any better and get into the details and make sure that we honor the 13 that gave their life for their country. | ||
| But I want to say something last night, you know, all these people are running around in politics, all the establishment, General Bolduc, he's not, no offense, The guys on the stage don't seem like they're nice people. | ||
| They're okay people. | ||
| But, you know, like a town councilman or some village mayor or something like that, all part of the Sununu machine. | ||
| You have no experience throughout the world. | ||
| This guy is a combat leader who's a man of judgment and discernment. | ||
| And to sit there and think, look, I'm not saying, people can vote for him or not vote for him. | ||
| That's your individual choice. | ||
| That's what makes a democracy. | ||
| You can make any choice you want, but to sit there and go, he's not qualified and he's not qualified to take on Hassan? | ||
| With the other, no offense, guys on the stage? | ||
| They're supposed to be blowing me away? | ||
| Like, wow, look at that. | ||
| That's so impressive. | ||
| But yeah, he's qualified. | ||
| Don Bolduc's not. | ||
| It shows you what the establishment will do. | ||
| They will look at you right in the eye and lie to you. | ||
| To protect their sinecures, to protect their power, let's be brutally frank, to protect their greed. | ||
| Okay, six o'clock, we're going to get into more of the economics of where we are as a country, about productivity, the real economy, not the phony economy of just printing money. | ||
| Also, the crisis still of the formulas for the young mothers. | ||
| Nothing's being done about it. | ||
| It's getting exposed every day. | ||
| And of course, we're going to talk about the vaccines, big pharma, and what's the real truth in back of the data. | ||
| All next in The War Room. | ||

Bring it on and I will fight to the end. | |
