On the subject of bouncing around in future careers, let me say that I am now like one of those booster rockets that has fulfilled its function and I will now be gently re-entering the atmosphere and splashing down invisibly in some remote and obscure corner of the Pacific.
Like Cincinnatus, I am returning to my plough.
And I will be offering this government nothing but the most fervent support.
Good afternoon.
I have just accepted Her Majesty the Queen's kind invitation to form a new government.
Let me pay tribute to my predecessor.
Boris Johnson delivered Brexit, the Covid vaccine, and stood up to Russian aggression.
History will see him as a hugely consequential Prime Minister.
I'm honoured to take on this responsibility at a vital time for our country.
What is the feeling in the UK about not You know, I don't know what Boris Johnson was.
Initially, he seemed like a, you know, a Brexiteer and he turned into really a, kind of an anti-capitalist.
He didn't really like, he said some things about capitalism and corporations and sort of focused on climate change.
But do you think she can keep corporate taxes at 19% and not going up?
Will she get that?
What will happen in 2024?
How much time does she have?
nigel farage
Well remember, we've had 12 years of Conservative government, we've now had four Conservative Prime Ministers in the space of the last six years, which shows you what an absolute shambles and a mess the party has been.
She said one thing yesterday in her acceptance speech that I thought was really interesting.
She said very pointedly, I was elected as a Conservative, I will govern as a Conservative.
And she believes in low taxes, she believes in small state.
Yes, she sounds, as you say, like an advocate of Reaganomics.
I re-emphasise the point.
This is now all about growth.
We're going to have to borrow a whole lot more money.
Look at where, you know, gilt's British government bonds are for 10 years.
Interest rates are rising very, very fast.
Inflation could well be over 20% within a few months time because of our reliance on energy from overseas.
And of course, a weaker pound means more pounds to buy oil and gas priced in dollars.
So let's see what she does.
I would say, frankly, she's only got three or four months to save us from going over an economic cliff.
If she can do it, if she's bold, if she's brave, if she shows she's pro-business, particularly small and medium-sized business, and, you know, the benefit of Brexit was to get rid of excessive regulation.
Johnson did absolutely none of it.
So, look, let's hope for the first time in 12 years we get a Conservative leader who actually behaves like one, rather than saying they are to get votes and then governing as a metropolitan government.
steve bannon
Okay.
Welcome.
It's Tuesday, 6 September in the year of our Lord 2022.
And we're going to start, uh, with our mother country, the United Kingdom.
And the reason that we're so focused on this one, obviously our economies, national security is strictly linked, but it's an object lesson to establishment Republicans and the uniparty about how they govern the policy decision they make.
I'm honored actually bring in.
The gentleman that actually delivered Brexit, and that will be Nigel Farage, one of the greatest living Britons.
Nigel, you now have the big show on GB News, you were head of UKIP, you've got Brexit done.
First off, Boris Johnson, I had to play that clip, Boris Johnson sang Cincinnatus as a code.
Cincinnatus, yes, went back to his plow, but then he got called back again to save the Roman Republic.
Boris is just putting a marker out there, hey, I'm in the bullpen if you ever need somebody to warm up.
But Liz Truss, she's got 90 days, brother.
90 days.
You are rapidly driving off a cliff.
Dave Walsh on this show has forecasted your energy costs are going to go four or five fold, sir, by next spring.
Is the UK on the brink of becoming a not a first world nation, but a third world nation?
Nigel Farage.
nigel farage
We're on the edge of a precipice, literally on the edge of an economic precipice.
If we go over it, then confidence in our country will decline.
To such an extent, it'll even be difficult to get away our government bonds, and the markets already are saying, wow, we're pretty scared about what may happen.
The energy policy that's been pushed since Blair, but accelerated by Johnson, means we are now completely vulnerable to whatever happens to the world oil and world gas prices, despite Steve having plenty of resources in our own country, which we have simply refused to exploit, because if we Produce our own gas and oil that shows in our carbon emission limits, and we couldn't possibly have that could be.
So the situation is dire.
The situation is urgent.
We're looking at perhaps millions of small businesses going under.
We could see if it's a cold winter, huge numbers of people dying of cold.
That is how bleak, that is how grim this is.
And let's be honest, this trust was part of this government.
You've been a cabinet minister for eight years.
She has been part of this failure, but the reason that I want right now to give her the benefit of the doubt is that she's the last chance we've got to stop falling off that precipice.
steve bannon
Nigel, Nigel, Nigel, I appreciate your sentiments and you're showing your support.
Which shows your class and obviously you're a gentleman.
But let me just be blunt.
60% Bloomberg reports 60% of British industry and British entrepreneurs are not going to be able to pay rent I think in the next 60 days because of their electric bills.
Liz Truss has been at the forefront, and she just doubled down on everything to Ukraine.
Boris Johnson, I think, was running to be head of NATO.
She's 100% for the Ukraine policy, and she's been at the forefront of this entire transition to the Green New Deal.
What she's talking about is a fantasy.
You're not going to limit the British government right now, and you're not going to cut taxes.
You can't cut taxes because there's no money to pay for your government right now, so you can't cut taxes.
Tell me what she's going to do in 90 days, sir, to stop you from going off the cliff.
nigel farage
What she could do is to cut VAT, you know, our purchase tax.
She could cut that, and to do that would actually be a mildly deflationary measure, not a bad thing.
But what she absolutely has to do, she has to promise the country that we will be energy independent by 2024.
What she has to do is to put in place The supply-side reforms that lift the burden of regulation of small and medium-sized businesses.
All those laws came to us as a result of EU membership.
We voted to leave six years ago.
The Conservative government haven't removed a single one of those tens of thousands of laws.
To get growth, you need simultaneous transactions going on with lots and lots of small businesses.
She can't solve our problems in 90 days, but what she can do is give a marker But where we genuinely intend to go now to do that, she will need the most enormous courage to be up against the entirety of the establishment.
Does she have that courage or not?
I've no idea.
I mean, privately, I'd rather doubt she does.
But I have to say, given she's the only chance we've got, we must wish her well.
steve bannon
In that energy independence, I just want to bring up a, you know, Boris Johnson said That wind power is going to be 50% of British total power by 2030.
That, sir, is a fantasy.
Do you want her to really go through and get a real energy policy that deals with reality and not Greta Thunberg fantasies?
nigel farage
Look, wind energy only work.
It has only work with massive taxpayer subsidy.
So what you do is you load money onto the bills of the poor, give that money, the job multinational, Chinese wind turbine manufacturers and landowners, rich, wealthy landowners, you know, dukes, members of the royal family in the United Kingdom.
It doesn't work without that subsidy.
And even in terms of generation of electricity, what happens when the wind doesn't blow?
I mean, here we are.
Our fate in terms of whether the lights stay on now depends on what the weather is in January or February.
No first world country should ever be In that position, as I say, we are on the edge of a precipice.
She's the last hope we've got.
It may not look great, given her track record.
We simply have to pray that she finds the inner courage to do the right thing.
steve bannon
Real quickly, Boris, the next couple of weeks, she's got 100 days, but the next couple of weeks, what are the benchmarks?
What's the inside baseball that Nigel Farage is going to be looking at?
Does she see if you see that courage, if she's on the right track?
nigel farage
Number one, what she will absolutely have to do, Is to say we are going to begin onshore gas extraction, have a gas field in the north of England with an estimated reserve of one trillion dollars worth of gas.
Easy onshore to produce, cheap to produce.
She has she has to say we will immediately, immediately start developing that because, of course, the more wind energy you have, more gas you need to back it up.
Secondly, what she absolutely has to do is to say, I am going to be I'm going to use Reaganomics.
I'm going to use Reaganomics.
I'm going to deregulate the British economy.
I'm going to let men and women attempt to go out there and thrive.
And thirdly, what she has to do is to maintain the great promise to the British people that the Brexit referendum held, namely trolling our borders.
And to see, over the weekend, over 2,000 people across the English Channel in those small inflatable dinghies, over half of them young Albanians openly boasting They're coming to join criminal activity in the United Kingdom.
Brexit must be completed.
We have to leave a European court in Strasbourg.
You know what?
If she does those three things, she might just not just save her own career and save the Conservative party.
You might just save the country.
It's a big ask.
It's a very, very big ask, but that's what needs to be done.
steve bannon
Nigel, how do people get to your huge show on GB News, and how do they get to you on social media, sir?
nigel farage
mfaraj.com.
It's all there.
And GB News has an app, and it's free.
Download for anybody in the USA.
steve bannon
Nigel, you're the one that delivered Brexit, and if you had been in the government, Brexit would have been totally done by now, and the British people would be much better off for it, sir.
Thank you very much for joining us.
Nigel Farage fought the longest odds of all to get Brexit done.
Somebody else who fought long odds and knows about energy is Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska.
Governor, you took on the old boy network in Alaska as a young mayor coming out of Wasilla.
When you took the governorship, you braced them up.
Your campaign for Congress, you were talking about energy.
Alaska is Saudi Arabia.
And I think people are shocked about why this, you know, why we are not developing our resources up there.
But what they're most shocked about today is how did basically Republicans get 65% of the vote.
And Sarah Palin, Governor Sarah Palin is not in Washington DC today in Congress, ma'am.
unidentified
Well, you called it Steve, when you explained what this new fangled cockamamie system called ranked choice voting is all about, when it doesn't matter if you perhaps are the most popular or most qualified candidate.
No, you can get a whole lot of votes Steve, but if you don't get enough second or third rankings from voters who choose another candidate, then you're eliminated or then you get second place And it's complicated.
You explained it best.
President Trump explained it very well in a rally that he had up here, warning Alaskans that this newfangled experiment with ranked choice voting will split votes.
It will allow liberals to skip on in, which is exactly what's happened thus far.
And it's a very, very Uh, potentially fraught with fraud, even system, but it's so complicated that a lot of people don't even want to participate.
So it has a lot of, um, inherent, uh, voter suppression in it involved.
And that of course is part of the purpose.
Why liberals created this system and why when it's on a ballot and they ask the voters if they want such a system, they write the ballot language to confuse, to convolute.
And that's where we are today.
steve bannon
But this was the Murkowski's and the other, you fought against the establishment, what they call the old boy network.
They have another term, but we'll call it the old boy network from day one.
This was Murkowski, you keep them in place.
What can be done?
And we're going to hold you through the break.
But what can be, is there anything that can be done to get this out?
How can Alaska, the heart of Trump country, that supports President Trump, loves you, 65% Republican, they now have a progressive Democrat in Congress.
How did that happen?
unidentified
Well, we need to encourage people not to comply.
The system is not right, and people do not like this voting system.
So, I'm telling my supporters, don't comply.
Just look at this race as one man, one vote, like it should be.
Winner take all.
Just vote for me.
Don't rank everybody else and get involved in this convoluted system, because that's why We are where we are, where two Republicans split the vote in this jungle primary that we had, and a Democrat got in there.
So we just cannot comply and we need to get back to the basics.
Just because an initiative said that this is the way it's going to be, we don't have to participate in a system that we don't believe in.
steve bannon
Hang over a second.
We're going to take a short commercial break.
We're going to come back on the other side.
We have Governor Sarah Palin in Alaska, Miranda Devine from the New York Post, Steve Cortez, Abe Hamaday down in Arizona, and of course, Steve Cortez, all next in The War Room.
unidentified
War Room.
Pandemic.
With Stephen K. Banham.
The epidemic is a demon, and we cannot let this demon hide.
War Room.
Pandemic.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
Welcome back.
It's the kickoff to the sprint to 8 November, and every day we're going to be getting down with candidates, process, all of it.
Governor Palin, we don't have time, and we'll bring you back about philosophy and differences in politics, but this is practical.
You called for the other Republican.
The other Republican can't win.
It's impossible.
So why do we have in this bizarre process you've got there to do it all over again?
You've called for him to step down.
Is he going to step down, Governor?
unidentified
Yeah, he says he's not going to step down.
And that is a shame because the general election then in November will just reflect exactly what just happened with Republican votes being split under ranked choice voting.
Yes, we've had Three votes thus far to get us this far, and we still have a fourth vote to take before the at-large seat in Congress is filled for Alaskans after Don Young's passing.
I've thumped the guy.
Nick Begich is his name.
I've thumped him three times, and he knows that the vote is going to be split, and yet he's hanging in there.
You know, he's got a lot of Democrat support, and he supports a lot of Democrats.
I certainly refer to him as a rhino, not a true conservative.
And if he were to do the right thing, yes, it would be to drop out and allow a head-to-head Republican versus Democrat.
Let this deep red state of Alaska choose between the two.
steve bannon
Aren't people furious because the congressional seat, the House is so important, and Alaska always gets, I mean, that guy was one of the most powerful guys in the House, because you have two senators, you only have one congressman, and Alaska is, we're so blessed by divine providence of the natural resources and the great people.
Aren't Republicans, aren't people, even guys who promote baggage, aren't they furious about this?
unidentified
The establishment isn't furious, and that makes me furious, and my supporters furious, What people should be angry about is Alaska will have gone nearly eight months without any representation at all in Congress, meaning that our interests, which are to develop our God-given resources and help secure the rest of the union, our interests aren't being met.
That harms the entire nation.
So I think the entire country should be angry at what's going on with this establishment system.
And it was the political establishment that created this system with the rank choice voting.
And without encouraging the other Republican to drop out once he got bumped three times.
Others should be outraged about what's going on here because our system is harming the rest of the U.S.
steve bannon
We are going to take the House just because of the redistricting, right?
Now we could win 30, 40, 50, 60, I think 70 seats.
Don't the Republicans there want to be in the majority?
Don't they want to have committee assignments and chair subcommittees, particularly given Alaska's, the inextricably linked nature of the federal government with Alaska?
Ma'am.
unidentified
Well, what is usurping even that desire for Alaskans to have a position of leadership in Congress now is Lisa Murkowski's run for reelection in the Senate.
It was her attorney who crafted this ranked choice voting system.
And admittedly, they say, yeah, maybe that attorney doesn't, but others say that it was created so that Lisa Murkowski, who couldn't run and win as a regular Republican, she had to have a system like this crafted for her in order to be reelected.
So it's more important for the establishment up here, the movers and shakers within a political party that I've been fighting against for 30 years, Steve, It's more important for them to allow Lisa Murkowski to get back into office as a senator because, yeah, she will be in positions of power when it comes to bringing home the bacon.
But then we do get into philosophy here and talking about what's government's role anyway?
How much bacon does Alaska need to be brought home?
In the meantime, we're thwarted our opportunities to develop our God-given resources, and we're going to have our hand out in the federal coffers asking other people to pay our bills.
We should be paying our bills by developing our God-given resources.
We're not allowed to, though, under the Biden administration.
He's got an anti-energy administration and agenda going.
steve bannon
Governor, how can the Warren posse walk us through how you're going to win this?
If he doesn't drop out, what's your battle plan?
How do people assist?
You've got so many people that admire you and respect you and need you to say, we need your voice, particularly in this Congress.
It's going to take place starting in January, 2023.
We need Sarah Palin there.
So how, how do we do it?
unidentified
Well, I had a press conference yesterday on my front yard, and I explained to people, people, especially outside and bigwigs in Congress, they thought it was a shoo-in.
They thought I was going to get in there, no problem at all.
When I was governor, I had 86% approval rating.
I warned everybody, no, under this type of voting system and election system like this, It's not so easy, and now especially with the other Republican refusing to do the right thing and unite the party and allow support for my candidacy to go forward.
Again, there's no way that he can win.
You nailed it.
The map doesn't work for him.
What I'm going to have to do and what I've told my campaign and my supporters, we have got to walk the walk, not just talk the talk, when we say we have not yet begun to fight because The entire future of our country is contingent upon good people getting elected, the good guys in Congress having some reinforcements sent to them.
We have to do it.
We have no choice.
So in the next two months, we're going to be giving it our all, Steve.
And there does need to be pressure still put on this other Republican in the race to unite.
Now, legally, he can't drop out as of yesterday at five o'clock.
We warned him about that deadline.
His refusal to drop out then puts more pressure on us to help educate the public also about how important it is that we unite.
steve bannon
Governor Palin, how do people find out more about this campaign?
Where do they go and how do they follow you on social media, ma'am?
unidentified
Sarah for Alaska.
Nothing is capitalized.
Sarah for Alaska dot com.
And yeah, we could use all the help we get because as usual, you know, I hate asking for money.
I don't ask for money.
So, you know, people are reminding me, well, you got to have some contributions so you can get out and about.
You nailed it again, Steve.
opponents now of mine who are very well funded.
Well, we need that financial support.
And we do need more and more people from across the nation to understand what Alaska has to contribute.
You nailed it again, Steve.
Understanding that Alaska is the Saudi Arabia of the US.
We're the Fort Knox of the US with our mining, our timber, our fisheries.
Oh my goodness, the rare earths and the oil and gas.
Our strategic location.
Alaska is so important and I believe that the Lincoln cabinet, William Seward, who was Secretary of State for Lincoln, he's the one who recognized Russia owned this territory that was very, very rich.
They didn't know about the oil and gas yet, but they knew certainly about the strategic location and probably the fisheries and the waterways.
Wanting Another tool to secure our union and at some point Alaska would come into its own.
I say Alaska.
It's fine.
It is time we come into our own and we got to get the right people in office so to cast those votes.
steve bannon
Governor Palin, Seward's Folly turned out to be a providential acquisition by the United States of America.
Amazing.
Governor Palin, thank you so much.
We'll be on this non-stop, ma'am.
unidentified
Yeah, thank you so much, Steve.
steve bannon
We need Sarah Palin in Congress.
We need her.
So we got people got to put their shoulder to the wheel.
This is going to be a big deal.
I want to bring in Miranda Devine from the New York Post.
You know, Miranda, every time you put a comment, my head blows up.
But this one is this is about and they had this landmark decision yesterday by the by the judge down in Florida to say, hey, How about this and join any more investigation.
Let's put a special master.
I don't trust any of you guys.
So the head FBI guy, I guess, involved in this is also involved in suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop and particularly Tony Bobulinski.
Is that what, is that what I understand this guy's, this is who is this guy and how could he be suppressing Bobulinski?
Bobulinski is one of the key witnesses here about the corruption and crime and compromise by the Chinese Communist Party of the Biden family, ma'am.
miranda devine
Yes, Tony Bobulinski, you might remember, is a very credible witness.
He's a former naval veteran.
He's much decorated.
He has security clearances from the NSA and from the Department of Energy.
And he went to the FBI back You know, in October of 2020, 11 days before the election, to tell them what he knew about Joe Biden's involvement in this influence peddling scheme with his family, his son Hunter and his brother Jim Biden around the world.
They raked in millions of dollars while Joe was vice president from China and Russia and so on, but particularly from our greatest strategic adversary and that's China and Tony Bobulinski knew that that was dangerous and he wanted the American people to have all the facts because he knew that just a few days before the New York Post had published our laptop from hell story and that was crushed and censored.
So Tony Bobulinski thought that the FBI would be honest and would treat his material with all seriousness.
So he went into the field office in Washington.
He had a five and a half hour interview.
Tim Tebow was not one of the young, there were two young FBI agents who interviewed Tony Bobulinski, who was Hunter Biden's former business partner.
But Tim Tebow, he was told at the end of the interview, was the point man.
He was the special agent in charge of the Washington field office.
And he was going to carry the matter forward from then on.
And in fact, Tony Bobulinski's lawyer rang Tim Tebow the night after Tony Bobulinski, this five and a half hour marathon session.
and asked him what next and Thibaut said look we're going to examine this, we will tell you about steps going forward and we will probably have to bring him in for a follow-up interview and Tony Bobulinski also handed over to the FBI that day which was October 23, 2020. He handed over the contents of three phones that he had which had voluminous evidence in there of wrongdoing.
There were documents to do with joint ventures with the Chinese companies.
There were WhatsApp messages.
There were other encrypted messages with Hunter and the business partners proving that, you know, Joe Biden was the big guy.
That's what Tony Bobulinski has always said.
He was the big guy who was slated to get 10% of this one Chinese deal.
There are messages saying to Tony to be careful about using Joe Biden's name because, quote, they're paranoid about it.
You know, it's so much evidence.
And the two young FBI agents interviewing him were pretty surprised and shocked by what he was saying, but he never heard from them again.
The information went into the same black hole the laptop did.
steve bannon
Miranda, hang on one second.
Short break.
unidentified
Miranda Devine from the New York Post.
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide.
War Room.
Pandemic.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
Okay, MyPillow.com, promo code Warren.
The percale sheets, this is not, this is, when they're out, they're out.
This is a one-time good deal.
You gotta go check it out now.
They still got the Giza Dream Sheets, but these percale sheets, I can attest, are unbelievable.
You want a great night's sleep?
You need a great night's sleep to be in the war room.
Percale sheets are the way to do it.
Promo code war room, go to mypillow.com.
You can't buy them in stores anymore because they kicked him out of the big box because he supports your freedoms.
That's what it is.
That's what kicked him out of Big Rock.
So now you get the chance for all the savings.
Go check it out today.
Miranda Devine, your columns always make me think, sometimes make me angry, but this one may be because they had the laptop from December of 19.
His eyewitness testimony and his phones corroborated everything.
The FBI and you had Ray and Barr who are Trump appointees.
It's, they, they threw it.
You just, Thiebaud is not a junior person.
He's a senior level guy.
He's head of the DC office.
He's in contact with all of them.
How can you not read your column and come to the conclusion that the FBI didn't absolutely throw the election to support the Biden crime family, ma'am?
miranda devine
Absolutely.
They put their thumb on the scale.
You remember they had had the laptop in December 2019 when another honourable person, the owner of the laptop repair shop, John Paul Mac Isaac, who had the laptop.
It was his possession.
He handed it to the FBI thinking that they would do the right thing.
They just stuck it in a black hole.
Same place that they put all of Tony Bobulinski's testimony.
And that was deliberate.
Now, you know, Bobulinski, it's very difficult to dismiss him.
You can't dismiss him as an agent of the Kremlin like they have to everybody else, including the New York Post.
You can't do anything but believe him because he came with the receipts.
He brought the documents and the emails.
And he was there 11 days before the election.
And, you know, there's no excuse for them not having looked at it before the election.
But there is definitely no excuse for them to have done nothing afterwards.
And there's this grand jury going on in Delaware looking into Hunter Biden.
It's been going, this investigation that the U.S.
attorney David Weiss is supposed to be running.
It's been going for four years.
into Hunter Biden for tax evasion and a few other things.
And they didn't call Tony Bobulinski as the star witness.
He is the star witness.
He was never subpoenaed.
He has never appeared.
So what is going on?
Well, obviously, they're burying it.
And we know that that's true because whistleblowers have come forward, 14 of them from the FBI, and they've told senators Chuck Grassley, Ron Johnson, and so on.
They've told them that Thiebaud is one of the names of the people that buried this Hunter Biden Now we know it's a Tony Bobulinski information.
steve bannon
This scandal is, is, is makes Watergate look like nothing.
Because this is about the existential threat of our nation, of the Chinese Communist Party and how the influence piling, how they buy people off.
It's going to be the leading, besides the invasion of Southern border, this will be about the impeachment of Joe Biden.
He's going to get impeached.
We're going to take the house.
The best primer on it is the book Laptop from Hell by Miranda Devine.
Can we put that up?
Go to Amazon right now.
You need to get up to speed on this.
Start with her book and then go to her columns.
Miranda, how do people get to your site?
How do they get to all your pieces?
Because you've got the book and then you've been adding to it with these amazing pieces.
Starting in January, The nation is going to be galvanized by this, because Bobulinski is going to take a star turn, trust me, in front of a house.
They're going to get impeached on this.
They have to.
And by the way, all the FBI guys are going to come here, Bill Barr, all those guys up there, Trash and Trump, Wray and Bill Barr, they're all going to get their turn in the barrel.
They're going to get their turn in the barrel, because you know that there were memos going around and emails going around and meetings and phone calls.
It just was.
This is the way that they threw this.
They stole it a different way.
But here with Blayton and they didn't allow the American people and all the polling said, hey, if I knew anything like that, if I knew anything like that, I wouldn't have voted for Biden.
That's why he's got 35 people in Pittsburgh yesterday.
People detest this guy.
Miranda, how did they get to your site?
How did they get to the book?
miranda devine
So it's a New York Post site, nypost.com.
Just look for my columns there.
And I'm on social media as at Miranda Devine.
steve bannon
People don't, you know, Miranda Devine put her entire professional career on the line.
She wrote it up, but to get the New York Post to put it forward.
They're a super professional organization.
But that's what the nation owes Miranda Devine, because without Miranda Devine, it doesn't happen.
So Miranda, thank you very much.
From your fellow countrymen, ma'am.
That story, I gotta tell you, you gotta get the book and you need to read this column.
Let's get this column everywhere.
Read the column and just see what Chris Wray and these guys, Bill Barr, that Bill Barr, you know, talking this, talking that, trashing Trump, wrong again on the special master, dead wrong.
Unbelievable.
Let's play Steve Cortez's.
Let me talk about economic collapse.
Let me feel better.
Let's play the chalk talk of Steve Cortez and I'll go to Brother Cortez.
steve cortes
Patriots, costs explode all across America, and particularly so regarding housing, as rental rates for the first time on a national average go above $2,000 per month, thanks to Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi.
Let's look at some rental rates in the American heartland.
This is the state of Michigan, where a one-bedroom apartment on average a year ago was $762 per month.
Today, almost $1,200 per month.
That is an increase of 50% in just one year.
Two-bedroom apartments, similarly, were under $1,000 a month.
Now, over $1,500 per month in the state of Michigan.
Folks, this kind of inflation is crushing the spirits and the prosperity of Americans, especially working-class ones.
So, it's imperative that we fix this mess, in part, by electing John Gibbs Okay, John Gibbs from Michigan 3 is going to join us on the 6 o'clock hour.
steve bannon
Cortez, walk me through.
We've got a huge thing on Mexico and a huge thing on illegal aliens.
We're going to do that tomorrow because we need more time to do it.
But walk me through financially where we are now, sir.
steve cortes
Sure.
Well, it was no vacation, no holiday from news over the weekend.
You're exactly right.
And on the economic side, I'd like to start actually overseas and then bring it back home and talk about why people in the heartland, people in places like Michigan, are suffering right now economically.
But we should take warnings from what is going on in Europe, because we are unfortunately on the same trajectory that they are, particularly as it relates to eco-green radicalism and energy policy, and particularly so within Europe, The UK specifically.
There was a headline, if we can show this headline please from Bloomberg, and I sent it to you over the weekend, Steve, because at first I thought it had to be a typo.
Bloomberg analysis says, amazingly, that six in ten British factories are at risk of going under.
Because of their energy costs.
Six in ten, Steve, the majority of British factories.
That's not even, that's not recession, that's not even Great Depression.
That is something beyond the Great Depression.
Six in ten factories.
And then today we actually got new reporting out on the UK from the Wall Street Journal, which reports that again, because of rising energy prices, soaring energy prices in the UK, that the average Briton by 2024, according to the Wall Street Journal, is going to see their disposable income
Fall by £3,000, which of course is more than $3,000, at least for the time being, the pounds falling in value, but more than $3,000 per person fall in disposable income for the UK, the largest in a century, the largest since the Great Depression.
Let's look, if we can pull up chart one here, let's show this in chart form, what is going on in the UK.
And again, I want to show this as the consequences of where eco-radicalism, where the Green New Deal, where net zero, and effectively making Greta Thunberg a snotty British teenager, excuse me, Swedish teenager, your effective minister of The energy, these are the dire economic consequences.
This is manufacturing EMI for the UK.
And for those who are watching, you can see on that chart, it has utterly fallen off a cliff.
It is now at 47, well below 50, so that means recessionary territory.
But before anybody should get haughty and say, oh boy, things are terrible in the UK, let's bring it home to the US.
If we look at a very similar chart, let's go to chart two.
This is the United States composite.
Composite, meaning this combines manufacturing and services.
We're primarily a services economy.
Services are even worse than manufacturing here.
But this is the two put together.
Talk about falling off a cliff.
If you look at that reality, we are at 44 on composite PMI.
So we're not just a smidge underneath 50.
We are massively below 50.
And I would point out, we are the worst in the world among developed nations.
We literally have the worst PMI.
in the entire developed world.
So, my point here, Steve, is look overseas, see at what terrible energy policy, radical energy policy is doing to Europe right now.
See that we are on that same trajectory.
Let's arrest that trend.
Let's take action.
Let's use our human agency.
Let's use our patriotic duty, November, to make sure that we don't follow their path economically.
But let's also realize, getting back here at home, if we look at that PMI chart for the United States, If we consider what's going on at rental rates in Michigan.
I mean, think about that.
A two-bedroom apartment.
We're not talking about a lavish place.
A two-bedroom apartment was under $1,000 a year ago.
It is $1,500 right now.
Do you know what that does to a single mother with a child?
It's absolutely crushing to her budget.
That's the reality that Americans are living with right now.
And Steve, you pointed this out to me over the weekend.
Guess who woke up to this reality suddenly?
The Wall Street Journal!
Somebody who should have been on it all along.
Thankfully, viewers of this show, the War Room Posse, has been well apprised of this situation for quite a long time.
This crisis of confidence in the United States.
steve bannon
I want to go back, I just want to do some math on the air with you, but I want everybody to focus on this term that we're starting, discretionary income.
If you take your 3,000 pounds, let's gross it up, let's say it's, I don't know, four or 5,000 bucks.
Average Britain makes 40,000 bucks, 50,000 bucks.
It's what, 10%, right?
And let's say this is an after-tax number.
When you take credit card expenses going up, when you take rents going up, when you take your energy going up five-fold, When you take food blowing through the roof, when you... Okay, welcome back.
You're in the War Room.
Cortez, you're gonna be with us tomorrow.
We got a lot to go through about Mexico, about a re-colonization.
I totally agree with this spot.
I totally agree with the Mexican citizens on this.
Plus, the New York Times got a blockbuster story, and you've already found the buried leads.
It's gonna make people's heads blow up.
They admit there's a million...
You know, I think illegal aliens here, you know, uninvited people, let's say.
Real quickly, on Getter tonight, what time are you going to be up?
unidentified
7 p.m.
steve cortes
I have a live stream, so when you're done with the extended war room, the after party is on Getter.
I'm going to be talking about the choice for November, the crucial choice, the choice of urgency, oligarchy or republic.
7 p.m.
on Getter.
Please join me.
steve bannon
And you go, how do you, you're at, I'm at Steve Bannon, you're at Steve, I don't know how that worked out, but I- Baller, you know- Yeah, it's like Bono, you know, Steve.
steve cortes
Ballers get the single name.
That's it.
steve bannon
Brother Cortez, thank you very much.
We'll see.
I'm going to be watching at 7 on Getter.
Everybody get a Getter account or just go sign up today.
Thank you, Steve Cortez.
Boris Epstein is broken away.
Got some breaking news.
Boris, thank you very much for joining us.
What's going on, sir?
boris epshteyn
It's still Epstein, by the way.
You know, just I know I've been busy.
You've been busy, but it's still Epstein and Epstein's, you know, the other guy, so.
Just, you know, sticking to it.
steve bannon
Obviously, this is a huge... The other branch of the family.
boris epshteyn
Yeah, go ahead.
Not related, okay?
Not related.
So, in all seriousness, a huge day.
Yesterday and today have been huge days for MAGA, huge days for the War on Policy, and of course for President Donald J. Trump.
Judge Cannon in the Southern District of Florida handing down a ruling that, even according to the Wall Street Journal, which just put out a story, has put of the DOJ in a major box and calling it like it is, saying that, you know, effectively breaking in and raiding a former president's home, a president's home is unprecedented and that this isn't just, you know, another case of weaponization, which we of course know it is.
But this goes way and beyond and really a complete unprecedented and unparalleled nature.
So from here now, and this is very important, folks, there's been a lot of information and a lot of talk about the special master.
That's vital.
other part of the ruling is an enjoinder.
She granted the injunction.
To stop any and all use of what was taken during the raid in any and all criminal investigations.
That is absolutely vital.
And what it does is it absolutely prevents the DOJ, the FBI from We're effectively continuing the investigations because they are not able to use either the documents, anything from the process of the raid, or even people who are briefed about the raid in any of those investigations.
So a major day, and as President Trump put out, it's very important for us to stay strong, very important to continue to fight for our country, and avail us of the American justice system, which When handled correctly and when handled by those who are impartial is undoubtedly on the side of those who are fighting for the truth and against the weaponization of law enforcement and against political targeting.
steve bannon
To put it in layman's terms, this investigation is essentially shut down for right now?
Basically?
boris epshteyn
Well, I don't want to go that far.
I don't want to say the whole thing, but any and all use of what was taken in the raid on the break-in during the break-in and raid of August 8th is prevented from being used in any investigation.
So leave the posse to make their own conclusions.
steve bannon
Is that called the fruit?
Is that the fruit of the poisonous tree?
Is that the concept in law?
boris epshteyn
Maybe, did somebody take law school classes while they were hot-decking it in the Gulf in the 1970s?
That's exactly what, that's exactly the, the nature we're talking about.
That's exactly the legal, uh, no, the legal posture of it, because the judges said full stop on anything that has any, in any way, emanated or touched the August 8th raid.
steve bannon
I want to give a hat tip to you and the whole team because Mike Davis, myself and others fit in.
We wanted more aggressive, aggressive, attack, attack, attack, aggressive, but I tell you a monumental decision last night on the special master and the enjoinder.
So, um, and I know we've got it because the, the mainstream media and the left-wing media, I've never seen them in meltdown on basically anything in Trump in years like this, Boris.
So, uh, Bravo Zulu, as we say, how do people get to you on social media so they can follow you and follow the breaking news?
boris epshteyn
Well, the work continues, and there's going to be a lot more news as the week goes.
The judges said at the end of the week to have a proposal on the potential special master from both sides, and the process is going to continue.

steve bannon
Thank you very much.
I want to bring in Abe Hamaday.
Abe, can you explain, can we put up this tweet?
We only got a couple of minutes, but I had to get you on here today.
Explain to me what the sweet guru behind AZ Democrats campaign to be states top law enforcer hates cops.
What is going on out there, sir?
abe hamadeh
Well, Steve, it's not a surprise that, you know, the radical left, they try to mask themselves.
But, you know, once they reveal themselves to who they are, you know, we finally realize what they've done to us over the past few years.
So the top campaign spokesperson, the former campaign manager and campaign consultant to us, as far as I'm concerned, has been getting paid and still works for my opponent.
She literally says that law enforcement equals killing all black people.
And the tweets just go on and on and on.
She wants to use the police to attack folks who don't wear masks.
I mean, it's really damaging stuff.
And this is someone who's associated with the campaign at a very high level.
So this is what my opponent she tries to say that she's a moderate like all these Democrats and radical leftists do.
You know, once they reveal themselves to who they actually are, we know that they're the radicals who are destroying our country.
But, you know, this is why the law enforcement has rallied behind my campaign.
I've received endorsement of basically all the law enforcement organizations in Arizona, but it's really frightening stuff.
If you actually read through some of these tweets, and we're highlighting it on my Twitter right now, but, you know, we're calling for Chris Mays, my opponent, to fire her campaign consultant who's Who just espouses these, you know, defund the police tropes.
steve bannon
I need the audience to go read these.
How do they go right now and see what's out there?
Because it's pretty shocking.
Walk us through how they get there.
abe hamadeh
Right now, they can go to my Twitter.
My handle is that Abraham Hamadeh and it can go follow through that right now.
And we're going to have a public statement coming on pretty soon, Steve, because some of these tweets are just so damaging and we're going through many of them.
It just was shined a light on it through the Federalist.
The Federalist published this article earlier, but it is quite shocking to see somebody in this role who wants to be the top cop, the Attorney General, to be hiring this campaign consultant, campaign manager on their staff who just, you know, absolutely hates the police.
There's racism involved, you know, talking about white people.
It's shocking, you know, things, but it's not a surprise, Steve.
We have to understand what hell the radical left has put us through the past few years.
They're the ones who are rioting and burning down our streets.
They're the ones who call to defund the police and to abolish ICE.
They're the ones who are calling for open borders and to remove all borders.
So we have to remind the American people constantly because the media is on their side.
And luckily we have people like you, Steve, who stand for truth and freedom.
And that's what we're going to win this thing in November.
steve bannon
Abe, I'm shocked that the spokesman hasn't resigned.
Didn't have to be fired, but we're going to follow this closely.
Abe Hamade, running for the Attorney General out in the great state of Arizona.
Abe, thank you for joining us here in the War Room.
abe hamadeh
Thanks for having me on, Steve.
steve bannon
Everybody, make sure you go check him out on Twitter and his site.
Stick around.
